Abstract:
SUMMARYA serological survey of free-ranging domestic pigs in the Central and Southern Regions of Malawi, together with laboratory data on confirmed cases of African swine fever (ASF) and data from interviews with pig owners, undertaken over a four-year period from 1981–4, has enabled the ASF enzootic area of Malawi to be identified. The area covers much of the western part of the Central Region and includes Mchinji district and parts of Kasungu, Ntchisi, Dowa and Lilongwe districts. Mortality is substantially less than 100% in outbreaks within the enzootic area but approaches 100% in outbreaks outside this area, as shown by both the serological investigation and the interview data.

Abstract:
Development process of any system is dynamic in nature and depends on large number of parameters. This study attempted to capture latest dynamics of development of districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh in respect of three dimensions- Agriculture, Social and Infrastructure. Techniques adopted by Narain et al. (1991) have been used in addition to Principal component and factor analysis. Ranking seems to very close to ground reality and provides useful information for further planning and corrective measures for future development of Eastern UttarPradesh’s Districts. The Composite Indices (C.I.) of development in respect of 18 developmental indicators for the total 28 districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh have been estimated for the year 2010-2011. The district Barabanki was showed a higher level of development (C.I. =0.10) in Agricultural development compared to Social development (C.I.=1.12) and Infrastructural development (C.I. =0.89) followed by the district Ambedkar nagar (Agricultural, C.I. =0.52), (Social, C.I. =1.12) and (Infrastructure, C.I. =0.89). District Allahabad secured first position in the Social development (C.I. =0.81) and second in Infrastructural development (C.I. =0.34) as compared to Agriculture (C.I. =0.93). District Varanasi was the most developed district in Infrastructure (C.I. =0.10) as compared to Agriculture (C.I.=0.96) and Social (C.I. =0.96). As per findings of the study, the two districts Mau and Jaunpur were down in their ranking and the districts Chandauli and Maharajganj improved their ranking.

Abstract:
Jammu and Kashmir is primarily an agrarian state. Around 80 percent of its population is engaged in this sector. The state has huge variation in its agro-climate diversity as Jammu region has a subtropical and Kashmir has temperate climate. These variations make it idyllic for performing varied cultivation. The present research paper is an attempt to analyze the variations in agricultural productivity of major crops at the district level in the Jammu division for the period 2010-11 to 2016-17. The results show tremendous variations in the productivity of the crop sector across districts. The districts of the Jammu region have depicted very low productivity and wide variations across the districts. The variations in the productivity level of the major crops of the Jammu region have been found mainly in the hilly areas like Kishtwar, Doda, Poonch and Reasi thus depicting wheat and maize as the staple food of these districts. These variations at district level has indicated the need for evolving specific strategies at the district level for ensuring sustainable and inclusive agricultural growth in a state consequently in the country.

Abstract:
In this study, hourly mean continuous air pollution data for the year 2010 from two monitoring stations in major urban districts in the State of Kuwait were analyzed. The ambient air quality in the Al-Mansouriah and Al-Jahra districts was evaluated in terms of the hourly average concentrations of selected major air pollutants during the winter and summer seasons. The diurnal variations of these pollutants were analyzed, and in-depth comparisons of the two pollutant concentrations for the two districts were conducted to determine the predominant sources of the air pollutants. The concentrations of CO, PM10 and NO2 in the two districts exhibited different patterns in the summer and winter due to differences in the activities that take place in the surrounding areas. The concentrations of SO2 were high in both cities because of the Al-Doha power plant and oil fields near the city in Al-Jahra. The ozone concentration is highly correlated with NOx emissions and is greater in the summer than in the winter. The results confirm that road traffic is a major source of air pollution in the Al-Mansouriah district. The Al-Doha power plant and the oil fields near Al-Jahra greatly affect the air quality in that district.

Abstract:
Introduction: Health systems in low-middle income countries are undergoing considerable changes in a context of ongoing health sector reforms. Districts have, therefore, been increasingly recognised as the level where health policies and health sector reforms are interpreted and implemented. At the same time, decentralisation in its different forms has become a popular reform in many countries, and this increases the importance of ensuring that districts have the organisational capacity to offer a good service.Aim: The article investigates the process, challenges and opportunities of health system development at district level in low-middle income countries.Discussion: While district strengthening is probably necessary in relation to the success of all other health reforms, it is argued that it has not been accorded the importance probably because it is not seen as glamorous. The district health management team must include both strengthening the capacity of individuals, but crucially also, improvement of systems. Many initiatives have been patchy and fail to provide a consistent national approach. The persistence of top-down approaches to health care works directly against districts being able to take charge of their own affairs.Conclusions: A shared vision of district strengthening must be achieved in order to progress with the achievement of Universal Health Coverage and Sustainable Development Goals. Keywords: district health strengthening, capacity building, low-middle income countries, universal health coverage.

Abstract:

In every market, competition is a vital ingredient for any working market economy. Large stores like IKEA, OnOff and El-Giganten are often positioned in locations near each other. Shopping areas like Gekås have proven to have large attraction power towards the customers. In down-town shopping areas it is common that large stores take advantage of each other’s capabilities to invoke customers’ interest. By doing so, businesses work together to create a large customer base.

The purpose of this paper is to determine how owners and managers of medium sized retail stores should choose location for their shop.

Both a qualitative and quantitative approach were used in this thesis; the qualitative approach was used for conducting interviews with 6 people involved in running the stores and municipality. This was done to collect information from actors that had the experience and knowledge about the subject of the thesis. The quantitative approach involved a survey done upon shopping habits of consumers in the same area. The reason for conducting both these researches was to diminish the biased answers that we would have got from conducting the research from one group only. By asking the store managers/owner and customers, as well as a representative of the municipality, we were able to provide a complete perspective on the situation.

Our findings showed that there were some major differences between a down-town shopping area and a shopping mall. It also became clear that the preferences and capabilities of the stores were important for selecting locations. Consumer preference on where to go shop was showed to be almost the same for A6 and down-town with a slight advantage towards A6. Still, the requirements on opening a store in a shopping mall oppose down-town was different.

Abstract:
En la última década, Lima Metropolitana se ha destacado por su acelerado crecimiento poblacional. De hecho, en la actualidad, concentra el 30% de la población total del país. Asimismo, cabe mencionar que la economía nacional ha experimentado un crecimiento moderado, al igual que el sector restauración y alojamiento en Lima Metropolitana, cuyo incremento asciende a 9.3% en el año 2016. Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI, 2017). En este sentido, con relación al sector restauración, es necesario hacer notar su beneficio derivado del boom gastronómico, lo cual se traduce en que actualmente existen una serie de oportunidades de desarrollo para los negocios dedicados a la venta de comida tradicional peruana. En este contexto, Doña Julia es un restaurante-anticuchería especializado en la venta de parrilla peruana, cuya propuesta de valor se enfoca en ofrecer al cliente una experiencia única, que se hace posible gracias al ofrecimiento de un servicio personalizado, con productos de primera calidad y un ambiente familiar. El negocio se ubica en la avenida Alfredo Mendiola 3983,distrito de Los Olivos, dado que se trata de uno de los distritos que registra mayor número de restaurantes en Lima Metropolitana (5.3% del total de las empresas creadas). Asimismo, su público objetivo comprende hombres y mujeres, con edades oscilantes entre los 18 y 55 años, y que pertenecen a los niveles socioeconómicos B y C, con estilos de vida correspondientes al de los adaptados, modernos y progresistas. En esta línea, la investigación de mercado aplicada a dicho público informó que los potenciales clientes prefieren consumir platos contundentes, ya que la porción de anticucho les parece un complemento o guarnición, pero no un plato de fondo. Por este motivo, el presente plan de negocio propone la oferta de dos nuevos productos: el Taipacucho y el Chaufacucho, que se acompañan con guarniciones, tales como arroz, chorizo u otros complementos. Finalmente, cabe destacar que la mayor inversión del presente plan de negocio corresponde al terreno, el acondicionamiento y el activo fijo (95,5%), lo cual se ha financiado con un aporte de capital de 58.11% y una deuda a largo plazo de 41.89%. Asimismo, con respecto al estado de ganancias y pérdidas, cabe decir que el balance es positivo y mantiene un crecimiento promedio de 4,5% en los cinco años proyectados. Con relación a la tasa interna de retorno de la inversión, esta asciende a 53.6 %; y, en cuanto al Wacc o promedio ponderado del costo de capital, asciende al 8.8%, lo cual permite determinar si la inversión por realizarse tiene una estructura óptima de financiamiento. Por último, según la proyección de ventas realizada, se determinó que el punto de equilibrio, tomando en cuenta la cantidad de clientes mínimos por año, es de 37 563. En conclusión, es posible decir que las estrategias utilizadas en diversas áreas del presente plan de negocio se verán plasmadas en los ratios financieros, que indican que este plan de negocio sí es rentable y sostenible en el tiempo.

Abstract:
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master’s in the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at the University of Zululand, 2015
According to the Constitution, Act No.108 of 1996 of the Republic of South Africa, every person has the right to clean water. The Department of Water Affairs and Forestry’s Community Water Supply Programme was established in 1994 to achieve this objective. Access to safe drinking water is the basic need to human life and wellbeing, and is a key to public health issues. The UGu District Municipality is the water distributor to the Umzumbe Local Municipality residents. The study area for this research is the Umzumbe Local Municipality, which is the second largest municipality under the UGu District Municipality. Communities, especially in rural areas under the Umzumbe Local Municipality, are still unable to access adequate safe drinking water which meets the national standards for protecting human health. The main concern of this research was to assess water access and provisioning in the Umzumbe Local Municipality, under the UGu District Municipality. The research assessed the water supply system in the UGu District Municipality by engaging with all the stakeholders involved in water provision to verify their roles in the water supply and development of water service delivery projects. The study was predicated on three theories which were assumed to explain water provisioning. The first theory is the top-down and bottom up approach to service delivery. The second approach is the privatisation concept which is based on neo-liberalism. This explains that buying what could hinder efficient delivery, mostly in poor environments. The final theory of the study deals with project management. This theory asserts that the way a project is packaged and commissioned will have implications in the delivery of services, in this case, water delivery. The research employed mixed a methods research design. The reason for employing both qualitative and quantitative methods is because the research sought to obtain a comprehensive interpretation of the occurrences in the research area. The adoption of qualitative data alone is likely to provide limited vision which would not be sufficient for the research without the inclusion of quantitative data. The population for the research consisted of the Umzumbe Local Municipality residents, both males and females from twenty one years of age, upwards. Seventy participants were chosen for the research. Interview schedules and survey questionnaires were used as data collection instruments. vii The findings showed that the UGu District Municipality infrastructure does have some challenges, which come in the form of skills challenges, and capacity challenges. Other challenges that the study identified include inability to access municipality’s infrastructure grant (M.I.G) and bulk infrastructure grant (B.I.G). The UGu District Municipality areas that are far inland are likely to have water, and also the problems because of the low capacity of engines that are used to pump water also the problem is exacerbated by power failures. The findings further indicated that unskilled contractors could be the cause of water outage in the Umzumbe Local Municipality. It has been established that contractors who are hired to run projects have a tendency of abandoning projects that have not been completed. The findings presented that the UGu District Municipality does not consider the involvement of community members when they take decisions on project matters. The research established that water tankers do not provide community with adequate water and the utilization of water tankers is an expensive option that can cause community not to be served. The findings also indicated that some of the water infrastructure is old and it can be the cause of water shortage. Lastly, the findings showed that the Umzumbe Local Municipality has low income opportunities, causing its inhabitants to be unable to pay for water services. On the basis of the findings the study recommends that the UGu District Municipality needs to adhere to the principles of monitoring and evaluation of all activities and projects that relate to water provisioning. At a broader scale the study suggests that further research be done to determine whether the Department of Water and Sanitation can consider the construction of water reservoir in UMzimkhulu River. The reservoir should be linked with the Umgeni Water Board to provide water to communities during water outage.

Introdução: A Síndrome de Down (SD), de todas as síndromes genéticas é a mais comum. Os indivíduos portadores podem apresentar um atraso no desenvolvimento motor e uma redução da força muscular respiratória principalmente devido a hipotonia, característica comum nessa população. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos de um programa de Equoterapia sobre as variáveis de coordenação motora global e força muscular respiratória em indivíduos com SD de ambos os gêneros e comparar indivíduos com a mesma síndrome que não praticam Equoterapia. Material e Métodos: participaram do estudo 41 indivíduos sendo 20 que praticavam Equoterapia (GE) e 21 que não praticavam Equoterapia (GC). Utilizou-se o teste KTK (Körperkoordinations test für Kinder) composto por quatro tarefas: Equilíbrio sobre traves, Salto monopedal, Salto lateral e Transferência sobre plataforma para análise de coordenação motora para indivíduos e a manovacuometria para aferição da força muscular respiratória. Resultados: Os indivíduos que praticam Equoterapia apresentaram melhores resultados na coordenação motora global, com diferença significativa, assim como na força muscular respiratória tanto inspiratória (PiMáx) como expiratória (PeMáx), embora para essas variáveis não tenha havido diferença significativa. No GE, 5% apresentaram coordenação motora alta, 40% coordenação motora boa e 55% coordenação motora normal, já no GC, apenas 10% apresentaram coordenação motora boa e 90% coordenação motora normal. Conclusão: Como resultado nessa amostra observa-se que a equoterapia apresenta benefícios de melhora na coordenação motora global (significativa) e na força muscular respiratória de indivíduos com SD e as mais novas tiveram os melhores resultados. Especificamente nas tarefas como a trave de equilíbrio, salto monopedal e salto lateral, além da coordenação motora global, houve forte relação com o tempo de execução de equoterapia, quanto maior o tempo de prática melhor os resultados. Nenhum indivíduo do estudo apresentou perturbação ou insuficiência na coordenação motora global. ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
Introduction: Down syndrome (DS) of all genetic syndromes is the most common. Individuals may present patients with a delay in motor development and a reduction in respiratory muscle strength mainly due to hypotonia, a common characteristic in this population. Objective: To analyze the effects of riding therapy program on motor coordination of global variables and respiratory muscle strength in individuals with DS of both genders and to compare individuals with the same syndrome who do not Hippotherapy. Material and Methods: 41 subjects participated in the study with 20 practicing Hippotherapy (GE) and 21 who did not practice Hippotherapy (GC). We used the test KTK (Körperkoordinations test für Kinder) consists of four tasks: walking backwards, moving sideways, hopping for height and jumping sideways for analysis of motor coordination for individuals and manometer for measurement of respiratory muscle strength. Results: Individuals who practice riding therapy showed better results in the overall coordination, with a significant difference, as well as respiratory muscle strength in both inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP), although for these variables there was no significant difference. At GE, 5% had high motor coordination, motor coordination, 40% good and 55% normal motor coordination, as in the GC, only 10% had good motor coordination and motor skills 90% normal. Conclusion: As a result this sample shows that the benefits of equine therapy has improved overall coordination (significant) and respiratory muscle strength in individuals with DS and the youngest had the best results. Specifically on tasks such as balance beam, jump and jump monopedal side, besides the overall coordination, there was a strong relationship with the runtime of hippotherapy, the longer the better practical results. No individual study showed disruption or failure in global coordination.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite a growing body of evidence that highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits of mobile pastoralism, few governments are ready to tolerate mobility and many policy makers promote knowingly or inadvertently the policies of sedentarization. This production system seems not to be clearly understood by many and has been characterized as backward, environmentally destructive and economically unsustainable; and the view is that it should be replaced with more sedentary forms of livestock production or other beneficial land uses. The overriding question is whether sedentary livestock keeping is more productive and utilizes fewer resources and less space than the mobile pastoral system. This study carried out a comparative cost-benefit analysis of the two production systems in selected villages of Kiteto and Karatu districts. The aim was to come up with credible data to test this hypothesis. Two alternatives were compared in terms of their net present value (NPV) to test a null hypothesis. The alternative with an NPV greater than zero or higher than its alternative was accepted to be more viable compared with the one with an NPV less than zero or less than its alternative. Whenever the NPV of the sedentary production system in the analysis was shown to be greater than zero and/or greater than the NPV of the mobile pastoral production system the null hypothesis was accepted and vice versa. The study was conducted in Makame village of Kiteto District and Dofa village of Karatu District. Makame village represents a mobile pastoral production system while Dofa village represents a sedentary production system. The study employed a quantitative approach using a household survey in the two villages. The comparative cost-benefit analysis was carried out using monetary values derived from the livestock unit statistical approach. The findings have revealed that the average cost of maintaining a mobile pastoral and sedentary production systems are TSh90,096,333 and TSh112,295,200, respectively. The cost-benefit ratios are 1:0.5 for a mobile pastoral production system and 1:0.25 for the sedentary one.

Abstract:
Cold ironing is a technology to reduce polluting emissions covering the energy demand of berthed ships in port to shut down their auxiliary engines. A feasibility study for the port of Ancona is proposed. A cogeneration plant provides electricity to ships, and the recovered heat waste is used in a district heating network. Results show that a 1.5MW and 2MW cogenerator covers 83% and 92% of the electrical need of ships respectively, and 61% and 74% of the thermal need of the involved buildings over the analysed period. The scenarios have been economically evaluated and prove to be feasible.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter argues that the historical geographies of Toronto’s Church and Wellesley Street district and Sydney’s Oxford Street gay villages are important in understanding ongoing contemporary transformations in both locations. LGBT and queer communities as well as mainstream interests argue that these gay villages are in some form of “decline” for various social, political, and economic reasons. Given their similar histories and geographies, our analysis considers how these historical geographies have both enabled and constrained how the respective gay villages respond to these challenges, opening up and closing down particular possibilities for alternative (and relational) geographies. While there are a number of ways to consider these historical geographies, we focus on three factors for analysis: post-World War II planning policies, the emergence of “city of neighborhoods” discourses, and the positioning of gay villages within neoliberal processes of commodification and consumerism. We conclude that these distinctive historical geographies offer a cogent set of understandings by providing suggestive explanations for how Toronto’s and Sydney’s gendered and sexual landscapes are being reorganized in distinctive ways, and offer some wider implications for urban planning and policy.

Abstract:
A student’s transition into a school starts well before he or she walks through the front doors or sits down at a desk. There are multiple strategies schools can use to smooth students’ transition and make families feel welcome before they arrive at the school. Since many of these strategies involve technology, they are presented in their own chapter. The first impression many schools leave on incoming families takes place in front of a computer, tablet screen, or mobile phone—not face-to-face. When a family is moving to a new community, one of the first things many parents— and students— will do is search online for the district or school and try to gather some basic information about the enrollment process, the neighborhood, and the achievement scores. “During my most recent move, I spent time on the school website to get a feel of how the school ran and what classes were available,” says Eraina, a student featured in Chapter 3. “This was helpful and made the transition not so shocking and confusing.” Parents might also search for information on courses or activities for their children and even read teacher profiles if those are available. Parents want to cushion the transition process for their children as much as possible; they want to be able to answer their children’s questions about the new school. School and district websites don’t, however, always make that process simple. Sometimes registration information is not easily found on a homepage, and parents might end up on pages that say “under construction” when they try to dig for more details. Some schools and districts provide email addresses for key staff members; others don’t. And, sometimes, staff members have left their position or the district, but their contact information is not updated. School Webmasters is a Mesa, Arizona-based company that develops and administers websites for schools and districts. A December 2014 blog post on the company’s site entitled “Do Parents Use Your Website?” offered this advice: In this digital age, parents looking to find a school for their child are likely to visit your website before ever visiting your campus.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the dangers of authenticity. There are a number of reasons why authenticity should be kept out of politics, why politics should not be personalized. It has been suggested that theories with the best intentions end up with authoritarian conclusions when trying to create political order based on respect for authenticity. The practical precedents are, of course, much worse: the most famous example of a politician basing his legitimacy on a claim of personal authenticity is that of Adolf Hitler. Unrestricted openness and authenticity would lead to confusion, distrust, and, perhaps, the creation of ground rules of even more questionable character. The chapter then explains why the politics of authenticity are bound to become authoritarian. Any political theory that seeks to anchor human personality at one particular point and prevents people, for example, from making mistakes, and hopefully learning from them, is bound to end up coercing people into one particular mold.

Abstract:
Abstract Following the ambitious EU plan in cutting the greenhouse emission and replacing conventional heat sources through the presence of renewable energy share inside efficient district heating fields, seasonal storage coupled with district heating plants can have a viable contribution to this goal. However, the performance uncertainty combined with the inadequate assessment regarding the financial potential and the greenhouse emission reduction associated with the deployment of those innovate district heating systems represents a great challenge for sufficiently apply it. Our work tends to explore the prospects for wide-scale deployment of the seasonal storage in the residential sector in the German market. The proposed methodology framework correspondingly based on a multi-objective approach which is applied to optimize the cost against an aggregated environmental metric throughout the life cycle of the proposed system in comparison to their relative conventional heating systems. In this context, the proposed methodology framework is applied to Berlin as a representative for the central European climate zone with consideration for the seasonal and short-term storage systems and their relatively load profiles. The environmental improvement associated with the solar district heating system (SDHS) coupled with seasonal storage in the central European climate zone is heavily weighed enough in decision making for proposing SDHS as a sustainable solution replacing the conventional heat sources. Furthermore, the proposed methodology framework successes in eliminating the yearly system variation. Thus, the yearly solar fraction never goes down below than 97.8% in the investigated climate zone. Overall this study can assist in approving the feasibility of the SDHS with the goal of establishing a more sustainable energy infrastructure in Germany.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: In recent years, the incidence and geographic distribution of dengue fever have greatly increased. Dengue fever is an acute viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes and is characterized by fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, skin rash, nausea and vomiting. The Mosquito Nest Eradication Program (PSN) through 3M Plus needs to be carried out continuously throughout the year, especially in the rainy season through the movement of housewife who monitor larvae. This study aimed to determine the effect of the dengue fever vector eradication model through the housewife movement of larva monitoring in the efforts of dengue fever prevention in Mojolangu Village, Malang City. Subjects and Method: This was a quasi-experiment using 2 treatment groups and 1 control group conducted at Mojolangu village, Lowokwaru district, Malang. A sample of 90 respondents divided into three groups was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was DHF Prevention Efforts (Larva Monitoring). The independent variables were Dengue Fever Vector Eradication Model. The data were collected by questionnaire and observation. The data was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis. Results: After being given treatment in group 1 (educated by health workers) and group 2 (trained cadres) the ability increased to be very good by 83% and 53%. In group 3 (control) his ability improved by 37%. Group 1 has the most effective influence in increasing knowledge and skills. Then group 2 with a significance value of <0.001 (p <0.005). Conclusion: Housewife are a resource in Family Empowerment and Intervention models. The eradication of dengue vectors needs regular monitoring and monitoring so that self-awareness and independence from the family can increase so that the degree of health can be achieved optimally.

Abstract:
It has become important for operators to determine operational strategies of energy supply plants appropriately corresponding to energy demands varying with season and time from the viewpoints of economics, energy saving, and recently reduction in CO2 emission. Especially, cogeneration plants produce heat and power simultaneously, which increases alternatives for operational strategies. This makes it more important for operators to determine operational strategies of cogeneration plants appropriately. In this paper, for the purpose of assisting operators or operating plants automatically, an optimal operational planning method based on the mixed-integer linear programming is developed to determine the operational strategy of equipment so as to minimize the operational cost, in consideration of equipment minimum up and down times for each piece of equipment to be operated with appropriate numbers of startups and shutdowns. In the numerical study, the proposed method is applied to the daily operational planning of a gas turbine cogeneration plant for district energy supply. It is clarified how the constraints for minimum up and down times affect the operational strategy and cost. Through the study, the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method is ascertained.

Abstract:
Lima, the capital city of Peru, is situated within the country's desert region on the Pacific coast and bordered by the Andes Mountains to the East. It is one of the most fast developing city shifting from both formal and informal urban construction. While traditional renewal model and strategy cannot deal with new situation and complex urban problems of this mega city due to its inner and outer contradictions and complexity. This paper analyses the current situation of San Martin de Porres, a typical district in the northern part of the city, which grew towards the Chillon river corridor mainly during the second half of the twentieth century. It conducts investigation and analysis on the current situation related to social, economy and infrastructure system in this district. It shows that from the perspective of planning and design, urban scale top-down interventions have little positive impact on individual realities. On the opposite, much of the society's knowledge and useful space are created by the residents' active behaviour and informal activities, which belong to the bottomup strategy, and they provide the source for urban vitality. Based on the above content, the paper puts forward the micro-regeneration strategy based on the theory of organic renewal and daily life, which mainly includes three aspects: urban catalysts, space design and corporate mechanism construction. The paper investigate different potential urban catalysts based on the feature of different functional space. It includes the most symbolic area that the latter design would applied to the whole province practically. Space design consists of four aspects: riverbank reuse, street renovation, community building and neighbourhood space transformation. The paper introduces community-based organization and governmental structure based on current top-down model and residents' activities in order to push on the practical work that all the other area could follow. It tries to stimulate the improvement of the current situation and hopes to provide a new mode for the development of this mega city and similar practice

Abstract:
Iceland relies greatly on geothermal energy, for electricity, district heating and industrial activities. It is therefore of great importance that the maintenance on site is carried out quite successfully to minimize down time. Reykjavik Energy is the largest energy company in Iceland utilizing geothermal energy. The company operates two cogenerating geothermal power plants, Hellisheidi (303 MWe and 133 MWt) and Nesjavellir (120 MWe and 300 MWt). In this study we investigate the development of the wellhead maintenance at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant. We look at the maintenance recommendations provided to on-site employees and how maintenance procedures have developed since the power plant began its operations. We investigate real data retrospectively and use it to calculate expected waiting times between repairs. The result is a maintenance model based on the observed and statistically analyzed data provided by the power company on the maintenance procedures. Such model should prove of great significance to other geothermal power plants in the early stages of planning the wellhead maintenance.

Full text
Abstract:
The world’s largest district steam co-generation plant was successfully brought on line following major modifications in the spring of 2005. During the initial “shake-down” operation of the high pressure steam send-out system, piping vibrations were experienced, which disrupted flow meters and other equipment. Operation of one of five identical flow control valves, used in parallel to regulate steam flow to the street distribution system, resulted in the high vibration levels. To investigate the cause of the vibrations, a project was undertaken, which included testing of the piping system utilizing dynamic pressure transducers and accelerometers and engineering analysis of the acoustics and piping structural dynamics. Multiple combinations of open and closed valves were investigated, and the likely root cause was identified as flow-induced vibration originating at a tee in the system. A piping layout modification was designed. The modification consisted of rerouting the piping downstream of one flow control valve to bypass the source of the flow-induced vibration. Following the piping modification, further tests were conducted that showed the reconfiguration successfully mitigated the vibration.

Full text
Abstract:
The learning crisis in many developing countries has led to searches for innovative teaching models. Adoption of innovation, however, disrupts routine and breaks institutional inertia, requiring government employees to change their way of working. Introducing and embedding innovative methods for improving learning outcomes within state institutions is thus a major challenge. For NGO-led innovation to have largescale impact, we need to understand: (1) what factors facilitate its adoption by senior bureaucracy and political elites; and (2) how to incentivise district-level field staff and school principals and teachers, who have to change their ways of working, to implement the innovation? This paper presents an ethnographic study of Pratham, one of the most influential NGOs in the domain of education in India today, which has attracted growing attention for introducing an innovative teaching methodology— Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) – with evidence of improved learning outcomes among primary-school students and adoption by a number of states in India. The case study suggests that while a combination of factors, including evidence of success, ease of method, the presence of a committed bureaucrat, and political opportunity are key to state adoption of an innovation, exposure to ground realities, hand holding and confidence building, informal interactions, provision of new teaching resources, and using existing lines of communication are core to ensuring the co-operation of those responsible for actual implementation. The Pratham case, however, also confirms existing concerns that even when NGO-led innovations are successfully implemented at a large scale, their replication across the state and their sustainability remain a challenge. Embedding good practice takes time; the political commitment leading to adoption of an innovation is often, however, tied to an immediate political opportunity being exploited by the political elites. Thus, when political opportunity rather than a genuine political will creates space for adoption of an innovation, state support for that innovation fades away before the new ways of working can replace the old habits. In contexts where states lack political will to improve learning outcomes, NGOs can only hope to make systematic change in state systems if, as in the case of Pratham, they operate as semi-social movements with large cadres of volunteers. The network of volunteers enables them to slow down and pick up again in response to changing political contexts, instead of quitting when state actors withdraw. Involving the community itself does not automatically lead to greater political accountability. Time-bound donor-funded NGO projects aiming to introduce innovation, however large in scale, simply cannot succeed in bringing about systematic change, because embedding change in state institutions lacking political will requires years of sustained engagement.
