Academic literature on the topic 'Design per la solidarietà (Project)'

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show the positive effects of a cross-sector collaboration between public administration and third sector in the Basque Country. Solidarity within European society is a concern increasingly addressed from broader perspectives in broader territories. Civil society involvement has also reached public administrations. The European Commission H2020 project, SOLIDUS Solidarity in European societies: empowerment, social justice and citizenship (2016–2018), responds to the need to build a “renewed” Europe after the economic crisis, addressing social areas as employment, education, housing, health, civic engagement. Design/methodology/approach The communicative methodology (CM) has been used in this research paper, including qualitative fieldwork involving representatives of third-sector organizations. The CM already showed its impact on society, through several research projects in which it has been applied. CM is based on including stakeholders’ voices into research from the initial design until the end, responding their needs from research evidence. Thus, it contributes to put in common the knowledge of experts and stakeholders. Findings Searching for successful practices of social innovation, this paper analyzed which elements enable such relationships between public administration and third-sector organizations to promote successful public policies. Even some risks and barriers have been highlighted, the authors’ specific aim focuses on the positive aspects. Therefore, it shows drivers for a most efficient way of public management, which could potentially be extrapolated to other contexts. Some of these drivers are the following: support and collaboration between sectors, institutional trust, co-creation, active participation of the third sector, solidarity and commitment, efficient social policies and workers’ professionalization. Originality/value This paper contributes to returning to institutions and society the atmosphere of trust that the crisis context has damaged. The Basque Countries’ comprehensive model of action proves to attend citizenship contributing to a better society, from engaging a successful collaboration across sectors. The creation of two models of collaboration helps to progress in the positive interaction between the third sector and government. This paper is also original because it gives voice to people directly involved on the field and uses their knowledge to describe drivers and assess collaboration and participation of the third sector.

This paper starts from a defi nition shared by the design of services and the «territorialist school» (Magnaghi, 2000), according to which a place is the bearer of a series of values, meanings and capital resources which are the result of interactions between the communities which exist in it and the surrounding environment. It then tries to shed light on the specifi cities, instruments and duties of the discipline of design, through the case of the Nutrire Milano, energie per il cambiamento project. After describing how design works in this community workshop, the paper expresses the desirability of integration between urban planning and design, so that with the respective expertise of each of them, local communities might evolve in favour of sustainability.

This paper describes the Personnel-Based System Evaluation Aid (PER-SEVAL), one of the automated tools being developed under the Army Research Institute's project to develop improved MANPRINT methods. The PER-SEVAL Aid will assist Army analysts in identifying the quality of personnel needed to support a partcular contractor's design.

Objective: To present project design and baseline characteristics of a project promoting life-long physical activity (PA) in an elementary after-school program. Methods: The project incorporates a two group design with delayed treatment control. PA and context observations and surveys (n=533; grades 4-6; attitude, enjoyment, intention, subjective norm, confidence, PA behavior, and fruit and vegetable consumption) were conducted. Results: Students spend almost 90 minutes standing, sitting and lying down and less than 17 minutes in moderate and vigorous PA during the after-school program. Students were strenuously active 3.89 days per week, moderately active 3.12 days per week, and mildly active 3.06 days per week, and watched television or played video games for 3.71 hours per day during leisure time. Attitudes, enjoyment, intention, and subjective norms differentiated students in different stages of PA. Discussion: There is an opportunity for PA promotion during after school, and stage specific interventions are indicated to facilitate PA.

The Great Plains Gasification Project is the first commercial-sized plant to produce substitute natural gas from coal in the United States. The plant is designed to convert 14,000 tons/D of North Dakota lignite into 137.5 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. The plant construction has been successfully completed per original design, on schedule and on budget. The plant has also been successfully turned over from construction to operations, as per the original plan. With the completion of the capital projects being implemented at the plant, plans are to achieve 70 percent stream factor in the first year of production (1985). The DOE-Chicago Operations Office has been assigned the responsibility for monitoring the project’s performance against baselines of cost, schedule, and technical criteria. During the startup phase of the project, significant technological advancements have been made and considerable knowledge has been gained, both by the operators and DOE (considering this to be a first of a kind plant built in the U.S.).

Gas recycling, to increase early production and total recovery of hydrocarbon condensate, was implemented on the North Rankin 'A' platform to take advantage of excess production capacity prior to the commencement of the LNG export phase. By recycling excess 'dry' gas back into the reservoir, condensate production has been doubled, to around 3 000 kl per day (19 000 barrels) per day and ultimate recovery increased.The additional facilities installed included five injection wells, an additional production well, and a 23 MW gas turbine driven gas recompression facility that was retrofitted within existing facilities on the platform. Designed in-house, the facility involved relocation of some operating plant and piecemeal installation of a new 400 tonne module containing a 23 MW aero-derivative gas turbine driven high pressure (30 MPa) centrifugal compressor and ancillary equipment. The compressor set was extensively tested under full load conditions at the manufacturer's works in France before delivery.Offshore construction was complicated by the congested working area and the difficulties of working in and integrating with live production facilities but was completed without major incidents or causing undue interference to platform production. Commissioning proceeded quite smoothly. Full operation was achieved within ten days of initial start-up, and the facility has continued to yield impressive production results.

O artigo apresenta um entendimento dos empreendimentos econômicos solidários a partir da realidade multiforme da economia solidária no Brasil. Trata-se de um conjunto variado de iniciativas ainda em busca de identidade institucional e de um arcabouço jurídico condizente, que não cabem no cooperativismo tradicional nem no chamado terceiro setor. Valendo-se de um conjunto de estudos já conduzidos, tanto em termos de conceituação e formulação tipológica como de desenho etnográfico, o texto reflete sobre a configuração plural dos empreendimentos solidários, analisando diferentes atores sociais em foco, urbanos, rurais e tradicionais, procurando demonstrar a diversidade cultural e simbólica ali existente, bem como suas múltiplas origens e desafios atuais, a exemplo da busca de um marco legal específico para o campo.Palavras-Chave: Sociologia; Empreendimentos solidários; Diversidade Cultural; Associativismo; Práticas Tradicionais e AutóctonesABOUT THE DIVERSITY OF FORMATS AND SOCIAL ACTORS IN THE FIELD OF SOLIDARITY ECONOMYABSTRACTThis article presents a comprehension of solidarity economic projects from the multiform reality of solidarity economy in Brazil. This article is a varied set of initiatives still seeking institutional identity and a proper legal framework, since they do not fit into traditional cooperativism or the so-called third sector. Using a set of studies conducted both in terms of conceptualization and of typological formulation such as ethnographic design, this study discusses the plural configuration of solidarity projects, analyzing different social actors in focus, such as urban, rural and traditional environments. It tries to demonstrate the cultural and symbolic diversity that exist, as well as its multiple origins and current challenges, as an example of the search for a specific legal milestone for the field.Key words: Sociology; Solidarity projects; Cultural Diversity; Associativism; Tradicional Practices and AutochthonousA PROPOS DE LA DIVERSITE DES FORMATS ET DES ACTEURS SOCIAUX DANS LE DOMPAINE DE L’ECONOMIE SOLIDAIREABSTRACTL’article présente une compréhension des entreprises économiques solidaires à partir de la réalité multiforme de l’économie solidaire au Brésil.

Purpose The integration of building information modelling (BIM) and integrated project delivery (IPD) is highly recommended for better project delivery. Although there is a methodology for this integration, the BIM requires some improvements to foster the adoption of IPD. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative way to support 4D BIM automation/optimisation within the IPD approach. Similar to structural and architectural design libraries, this research proposes a planning library to enable automating the formulation of schedule, as well as embedding the multi-objective optimisation into the 4D BIM. Design/methodology/approach The literature review was used to highlight the existing attempts to support the automation process for 4D BIM and the multi-objective schedule optimisation for construction projects. A case study was done to validate the developed framework and measure its applicability. Findings The results show that there is a cost-saving of 22.86 per cent because of using the proposed automated multi-objective optimisation. The case study shows the significance of integrating activity-based costing into 4D BIM to configure the hierarchy level of overhead activities with the IPD approach; therefore, the maximum level of contribution in managing the IPD project is 33.33 per cent by the trade package level and the minimum contribution is around 8.33 per cent by the project level. Originality/value This research presents a new philosophy to develop the 4D BIM model – planning and scheduling – a BIM library of the project activities is developed to enable the automation of the creation of the project schedule with respect to the 3D BIM design sequence. The optimisation of the project duration is considered to be automated within the creation process by using the proposed genetic algorithm model.

A gas cylinder or tank is a pressure vessel used to store gases at above atmospheric pressure. Many pressure vessels are made of carbon steels these material results in increase in weight and transportation cost. The Literature survey shows that gas cylinders fails due to corrosion and difficult to transporting. In this Project work, the aim is to design a gas cylinder as per ASME standards using composite material which can be used for our day today life. Solidworks 2015 is used for 3D modelling of the cylinder and Finite Element Analysis is used to test the performance of the cylinder made of composite material and compare with Cylinder made of Steel. The results shows that stress induced in the both cylinder is nearly equal but composite cylinders results in height amount of weight saving and corrosion resistance and also decrease the transportation cost.
