Abstract:
Abstract Sustainable fodder production, feeding capacity, and high animal productivity are the basis of effective animal husbandry. Nutritious, high-quality feed additives and vitamin premixes have been delivered to Russia from Denmark, France, Belgium and other countries for many years. However, it is possible to improve the feeding value of grains and their accessibility for animals through innovative solutions in using balanced concentrates or dry feed technologies. Regarding current conditions, it is only innovation-oriented development of dairy farming that will reduce milk production cost, ensure profit increase, and consequently production profitability, by means of technological, organizational and economic innovation, an optimal combination of primary, auxiliary and service production. The article discusses new approaches to organizing the use of grain fodder on farms enabling them to provide dairy cattle with more nutritious feeds, realise animal genetic potential, reduce feed costs by about 7-10%, thus improving animal husbandry profitability. An organizational and technological innovation has been proposed in the case of Limited Liability Company «Agribusiness Firm «YUMA» in Krasnodar Territory. Introducing feed preparation unit extruder KMZ-2U will increase milk production profitability from 11 to 16.3%.

Abstract:
Permanent technological development leads to the search for the most utilitarian material and structural solutions in architecture. During recent decades, a large number of bioinspired materials applicable in engineering and medicine have been invented. However, nature remains the perfect creator of multifunctional structures. The main question concerns the possibility of implementing technological solutions that would enable a literal moving of the building. The assumption of responsive architecture is the ability to react to the user’s actions and external environmental stimulation. Nowadays, electronic systems that enable integral control of individual building installations in order to minimize energy losses (e.g. BMS) are commonly available. In kinetic and responsive architecture the CABS system is often used to control the façade. This paper focuses on the etymology of responsive architecture and outlines the directions of its application in the innovative technological solutions in architecture.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2013.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 105-107).<br>I have designed, built, and evaluated three devices to encourage informal interactions in the workplace. Previous research has found that such interactions can lead to increased idea cross-flow, creativity, productivity, and innovation at large, though few attempts to design architectural, organizational, or technological solutions have succeeded in achieving this. I believe this is because these approaches tended to focus too much on fostering an "ambient awareness" of fellow coworkers with hopes that it would indirectly lead to increased informal interactions. My hypothesis is that proactively creating such interactions as intermediated by a smart artifact in the office space would be more effective. For this thesis, I have built two versions of a device called Food Groups, as well as another one called Media Lab Mixer; Food Groups matches coworkers up to get lunch or dinner together, while Media Lab Mixer uses game dynamics to encourage them to spend more time socializing in a common space. After an initial study, the Food Groups devices received little use and were largely ineffective at fostering informal interactions. Media Lab Mixer, however, showed greater engagement and was more effective at creating the desired results, though it did not have a lasting effect after it was removed.<br>by Shaun Salzberg.<br>S.M.

Abstract:
The advent of mobile payment solution has brought a mixed reaction on the mind of potential consumers on whether to adopt or not. Also, the mobile payment has elicited discussion about its future. The major question is on whether the technology will replace traditional banking processes, or if it will act as a compliment. The thesis seeks to promote the adoption of mobile payment by improving available information for stakeholders. The advent of mobile payment technology shows that it has a high number of benefits, but it does not match with the current adoption rate. The statistics show that the majority of users of mobile payment uses it to for smaller transactions such as the purchase of books and food. The slow uptake of mobile payment adoption vis a vis immense benefit of the platform. The disparity motivated the study on factors that influence solution adoptions. The thesis provides a clear linkage of factors such as environmental risk, reputation, trust, perceived usefulness, ease of use and mobility in influencing potential consumer attitude and intention to use a specific payment solution.<br>Potentiella konsumenter av mobila betalningslösningar har gett en blandad reaktion på huruvida de ska ta sig an innovationen eller inte. De nya betalningslösningarna har även väckt diskussioner huruvida innovationen ska ersätta traditionella bankprocesser eller om de kommer komplettera varandra. Arbetet har i syfte att främja upptagande av mobila betalningar genom att förbättra tillgänglig information för intressenter. Det visar sig att mobila betalningar har större antal förmåner än traditionella betalningslösningar, dock speglar detta inte graden av användningen av teknologin. Statistiken visar att majoriteten av användare av mobila betalningar använder sig av teknologin för mindre transaktioner som exemplvis köp av böcker och mat. Faktorer som påverkar upptagandet av nya innovationer är framförallt säkerhetsrisk, rykte, förtroende, uppfattad användbarhet, uppfattad användarvänlighet samt flexibiliteten av betalningslösningen.

Abstract:
La recherche en agriculture a un rôle important à jouer pour la population mondiale si on la considère comme un domaine stratégique pouvant fournir des connaissances ainsi qu´une base technologique à la production agricole. Ce secteur génère des extrants, des résultats ayant des impacts spécifiques dans les zones rurales, les filières agricoles, l'économie, la société et l'environnement. La recherche et l'innovation agricoles représentent un élément clé pour permettre d´atteindre les objectifs du développement durable imposés par les Nations Unies (ODD), en particulier les ODD 2 et 12 – c´est-à-dire réduire les inégalités sociales, éliminer la faim et accroître durablement la production alimentaire. Ainsi, l'évaluation de l'impact dans le domaine économique, politique, social et environnemental des recherches et des innovations devient fondamentale dans un objectif de recherche croissante de la durabilité des pays et de la planète. Les bailleurs de fonds, les institutions supérieures de contrôle, le parlement, le gouvernement, les producteurs, les filières agricoles, les consommateurs et toute la société civile ont besoin de transparence, d'efficacité et d'efficience de la part des organismes publics : ils doivent démontrer un retour sur investissement public, un impact positif sur l'économie et la société, tout en minimisant les impacts négatifs sur l'environnement. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est donc de répertorier les approches théoriques et pratiques déjà réalisées pour l'évaluation d'impact, en particulier en se penchant sur les expériences de quatre organismes de recherche, et de développer un modèle conceptuel du système de gestion de l'évaluation d'impact de l'innovation, en particulier un modèle qui sera applicable aux organismes de recherche agricole. Nous adoptons une méthodologie basée sur la revue de littérature, quatre cas d'étude comparative d'organismes de recherche agricole (le Cirad et l´Inra en France, l´Embrapa au Brésil, et le CSIRO en Australie). Les contributions innovantes de cette thèse sont : I. La construction d'un modèle conceptuel d'un système de gestion de l'évaluation d'impact basé sur le processus d'innovation ; II. Le modèle du système de l'évaluation d'impact d'innovation considèrant une vision transversale de durabilité, intégrant les dimensions environnementale, sociale, politique et économique ; III. Le système d'analyse d'impact de l'innovation reposera sur un processus unique de gestion, notamment concernant les étapes d'évaluation ex ante et ex post selon leur temporalité respective ; IV. La gestion du processus de l'innovation et de l'évaluation d'impact prévoyant l'insertion d'approches comportementales telles que les concepts d'holisme, de constructivisme et de transdisciplinarité. Cette thèse présente donc une approche originale car fournissant un outil de gouvernanceà la recherche, tout en mettantun accent innovant sur la gestion de l'impact ex-ante et ex-post. Elle aide les organisations de recherche et d'innovation à fournir chaque fois plus de solutions durables dans le cadre de leurs missions institutionnelles, et contribuant ainsi à participer aux objectifs de développement durable de l'ONU pour aller vers une agriculture plus productive et plus durable<br>Agricultural research has an important role for the world population by considering it as a strategic area for providing knowledge and technological base for agricultural production. This sector generates outputs, outcomes with respective impacts to rural zones, supply chains, economy, society and environment. The agricultural research &amp; innovation represents a key piece for reaching the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDG), especially to SDG 2 and 12 – to promote sustainable agricultural to eliminate hunger and improving nutrition, as well as to promote sustainable consumption and production, respectively. In order to check whether agricultural research organizations generate sustainable impacts, it is necessary to assess the impacts of their innovations. Funders, supreme auditing institutions, parliament, government, producers, supply chains, consumers and all society require transparency, efficacity, and effectivity of public organizations: they must highlight return of public investment as well as generate positive impact to the economy and society, and minimize negative impacts to the environment. Many public research organizations around the world have developed impact assessment processes. There is no flawed theories and practices approaches to impact assessment context. Therefore, this research seeks to fill gaps or to supplement the existing approaches. The main thesis objective is to summarize theoretical and practical studied approaches on impact assessment, including the experiences of four research organizations, and to develop a conceptual model of innovation impact assessment management system, especially applicable to agricultural research organizations. It adopts a methodology based on literature review, four cases of a comparative study of agricultural research organizations (Cirad and Inra from France, Embrapa from Brazil, and CSIRO from Australia), and benchmarking these experiences studied. The innovative contributions of this thesis are I. construction of a conceptual model of an impact assessment management system based on the open innovation process; II. the model of innovation impact assessment management system considers a cross-cut view of sustainability, integrating the environmental, social, political and economic dimensions; III. the innovation impact assessment system will be based on a unique managerial process that regards ex-ante and ex-post assessment stages according to its respective temporality; IV. the management of the innovation and impact assessment processes foresees the insertion of behavioral approaches such as concepts of holism, constructivism, transdisciplinarity and agile management practices as essential requirements for the effective engagement of the internal and external actors and the effectiveness of the evaluation process. This thesis has an original approach by bringing a research governance tool with an innovative focus on ex-ante and ex-post impact management, helping research and innovation organizations to become increasingly sustainable in their institutional missions, thus contributing to the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals towards more productive and sustainable agriculture

Abstract:
Background: In South Africa, 81 per cent of the population are dependent on the public health system. The country faces a complex burden of a combination of chronic infectious illness and non-communicable diseases and high maternal mortality, 310 deaths per 100,000 live births. These and many other systemic health challenges have meant the government is starting to invest in digital solutions to strengthen health services delivery and public health; due to their ease of use, broad reach and wide acceptance. Digital communication systems are an intriguing possibility for delivering healthcare in low-resource settings. This thesis considers how mobile (mHealth) and non-mobile communication technologies are currently and potentially being used by patients and health-workers within the rural South African health system. Health system dimensions are also analysed at the macrolevel to define the enablers and barriers to mHealth. Methods: This qualitative exploratory study was a case study design guided by theory-driven realist methodology. Mixed-methods research triangulated in-depth individual interviews, focus group discussions, prolonged engagement in nonparticipant observations and documentary analysis from a diverse range of participants (community members, patients, health-workers, policy-makers and experts) operating at different tiers within the country (community, facility, district, provincial and national). A realist review of patient mobile monitoring of chronic disease was conducted to determine hypotheses to inform the interpretation of empirical data and refine theory from the Context-Mechanism-Outcome configurations. These were supported by high-level theories of access, normalisation and the capability approach. Results: Supportive government policy combined with patient and health-workers’ informal mHealth use can act as enablers to the uptake of digital communication systems, particularly with improved maintenance and management strategies. Access to health information is a barrier to care, which may be overcome with an evidence-based health website though inequities may still remain. Likewise, digital reminders may support chronic disease management particularly for patients with hypertension. Poor patient referrals and remote diagnosis can be overcome by digital communication as smartphone ownership increases and mobile data prices reduce. Local digital innovation relies on government backing for greater scale. Conclusion: Informal digital communication solutions for health used by patients and health-workers are evident as mobile phone use becomes normalised within society. This is occurring in parallel with the government’s interest in digital health technologies to strengthen the delivery of care. A novel healthcare delivery framework proposes that a foundational electronic health and mHealth ecosystem (Context) can support a health system with multiple challenges. The four health system dimensions of government stewardship, organisational, technological and financial systems are necessary to support mobile health solutions. These dimensions give reinforcement (Mechanisms) to improve communication between patients and health-workers which may increase access to healthcare and continuity of care. Work practices are made more efficient, health service delivery is enhanced and patient outcomes can improve to maximise health gain (Outcomes).

Abstract:
How do rural Chinese households deal with the conflicting pressures of migrating into cities to work as well as staying at home to preserve their fields? This is particularly challenging for rice farmers, because paddy fields have to be cultivated continuously to retain their soil quality and value. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and written sources, Rural-Urban Migration and Agro-Technological Change in Post-Reform China describes farming households' strategic solutions to this predicament. It shows how, in light of rural-urban migration and agro-technological change, they manage to sustain both migration and farming. It innovatively conceives rural households as part of a larger farming community of practice that spans both staying and migrating household members and their material world. Focusing on one exemplary resource - paddy fields - it argues that socio-technical resources are key factors in understanding migration flows and migrant-home relations. Overall, this book provides rare insights into the rural side of migration and farmers' knowledge and agency.

Abstract:
This book is designed to furnish Italian literature with an insight into the significance and the role of knowledge transfer, and in particular of technological brokerage. The idea is that, in the present-day world, dominated by a technology and knowledge available to an increasingly large number of people, enterprises are called upon to reconfigure the concept of innovation, expanding in even geographical terms the quest for solutions that aim at creating an exchange of interdisciplinary knowledge. To respond to the need for the dissemination of knowledge, collaboration between enterprises and the use of brokers appears to be the easiest solution. This can contribute to reducing the inefficacy of the markets and hence to facilitating the technological transactions. In this context the role of the brokers is fundamental in the knowledge markets in general, and in particular in that of technology, spawned by the need for an increasingly complex brokerage of knowledge, between applicant and user. In traditional markets, in effect, transactions can be conducted directly by the enterprises and may deal with current or future technology, but there is also the possibility of indirect transactions, involving the intermediation of specialised brokers. The emergence of these brokers is due to the frequent presence of structural gaps in the real markets which do not permit the normal flow of information: in practice, it is rare for every agent in a market to be connected with all the other agents that may important for him.

Full text
Abstract:
The production of functional products in the form of independent and multicomponent compositions based on vegetable semi-finished products of a high degree of readiness for further use during the manufacture of various food products is proposed. The proposed adaptive mechanism makes it possible to simulate the competitiveness of the agro-industrial sector in the conditions of taking into account the flow parameters of traditional micro- and macro-environments for the optimal adaptation of innovative approaches when implementing resource-saving hardware and technological solutions. A resource-saving method for the production of multi-component puree-like semi-finished products with a high degree of readiness based on own plant raw materials of apple, Jerusalem artichoke, cranberry, beetroot and hawthorn has been developed. The hardware implementation of the resource-saving method is provided by the developed author's designs of unified mobile low-temperature devices, the feature of which is the reduction of energy and metal consumption, ensuring uniformity of heat supply, stabilization of the temperature range, the possibility of using secondary heat energy. The proposed method is unified due to the implementation of the concentration process as needed in the form of a film flow (unified rotary-film apparatus), in a flow (unified tubular apparatus) and boiling in mass (unified vacuum-evaporation apparatus). Also, due to technological necessity, there is an additional technological operation of drying, which is implemented on a fundamentally new thermal radiation single-drum roller dryer. The film-like electronic heater of the radiating type has been improved. Thanks to the improvement, the following technical properties of the film-like electronic heater of the radiating type have been achieved in terms of the maximum temperature of the working surface (40...180 oС). At the same time, the IR wavelength set from 2.0 to 15 μm with a power of up to 800 W/cm2 and a technical efficiency factor (0.97) are optimal for heat and mass transfer processing of multicomponent vegetable semi-finished products. Thus, the reduction of: weight and specific metal capacity of the developed devices is ensured; duration of processing of thermolabile plant raw materials. An equipment-technological line for the production of vegetable polycomponent semi-finished products with a high degree of readiness has been developed, which can be located directly on farmland for the cultivation of natural raw materials. The practical implementation of the proposed innovative approaches in the production of semi-finished products will allow to support the own capacities of farmland, modernization of processing and production sectors of agro-industry. The resulting functional polycomponent semi-finished products will allow expanding the range of food products with an increased content of functionally physiological ingredients, predicted rheological and organoleptic properties. The introduction of developed semi-finished products into the recipes of various food products will reduce the need to use synthetic ingredients, replacing them with natural components.

"Justification of the feasibility of using A2 milk in the production of some dairy products." In FOOD PRODUCTION: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS. TECHNOLOGY CENTER PC, 2024. https://doi.org/10.15587/978-617-7319-99-2.ch2.

Full text
Abstract:
The prospects of using A2 cow's milk in the production of dairy products were considered and analyzed. The object of research is the method of enriching A2 milk and the technology of hard cheeses made from raw milk from cows with different β-casein genotypes (A1A1, A1A2, A2A2). When digesting A2 milk, β-casomorphin-7 is not formed, which negatively affects the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems. It is recommended to use milk to which biologically active substances have been added, therefore the issue of its enrichment is relevant. In industrial conditions, artificial vitamin and mineral complexes are used to enrich milk. Taking into account that natural and synthetic substances act differently on the human body, it is proposed to use processed derivatives of carrots (Daucus carota) as a natural food additive. The use of carrot powders improves the amino acid spectrum of milk. The mass concentration of amino acids in A2 milk enriched with carrot peel powder was 4.87 g/100 g. The highest concentration, g/100g, of glutamic acid (0.84), proline (0.50), aspartic acid (0.42), leucine (0.41), valine (0.35) was found. It was established that the consumption of 200 g of such milk provides the daily needs of the body in essential amino acids: threonine, leucine and phenylalanine (by 16 %), methionine (by 4 %), isoleucine (by 14 %), lysine (by 18 %), valine (by 20 %). It was established that A2 milk, enriched with powder from whole carrot roots, has a higher content of carotenoids (0.1068 mg/100 ml), providing the body's need for them by 1.4 %. Such milk can be an additional source of vitamin A produced in the human body. It is recommended to use powder from whole carrot roots for the enrichment of A2 milk in industrial conditions. Physico-chemical indicators and cheeseability of milk of cows with different genotypes were studied. The content of fat, protein and solids in the milk of cows with the β-casein genotype A2A2 were slightly higher compared to A1A1 and A1A2. A comprehensive study of the quality indicators of hard cheese samples showed that the type of β-casein did not affect the sensory characteristics of the cheese. However, according to the content of the main chemical components, cheeses made from A1A2 milk had a higher content of dry matter and protein (on average, 61.6 % and 19.2 %, respectively) and a lower content of fat (37.2 %). The amino acid profile of cheese from the milk of cows with the β-casein A1A2 and A2A2 genotype showed a higher total content of amino acids – 14.89 mg/g and 13.84 mg/g, respectively. Calculations of cheese yield showed that cheese yield from milk of cows with β-casein genotype A1A2 was higher (mean value 13.1 %) than with A1A1 and A2A2. The obtained results are of practical importance, since it is possible to take into account how changes in the β-casein genotype in raw milk can affect the yield of cheese and, therefore, the profitability of production.

Abstract:
The current global demographic structure of the population at the global and national levels indicates significant rates of aging. As a result of this process, gradual metabolic changes appear in the body, characterized by a slowdown in metabolic processes, the level of assimilation of oxygen and nutrients, and a decrease in the body's functional capabilities. Nutrition is one of the main factors that ensure the vital activity of the human body. The completeness and correspondence of the food ration to the metabolic needs makes it possible to significantly influence the level of health and physiological state. Adherence to nutrition is important for older people, and especially in emergency situations arising from psycho-emotional and physical stress, diseases and injuries, in the process of rehabilitation and recovery. In connection with this, the practice of consumption (use) of products for enteral nutrition, which according to international legislation are considered dietary food products for special medical purposes, has become widespread. The paper analyzes general approaches to ensuring the nutritional needs of representatives of older age groups. Based on this, it was established that for their full satisfaction, physiological processes due to changes in metabolism during aging should be taken into account. It has been established that the elderly, senile and long-lived people need a balance of the main nutrients, namely an increased amount of protein and lipid components and a reduced amount of carbohydrates, adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. As a result of the study of nutritional needs of representatives of older age groups in emergency situations, it was established that their full satisfaction largely determines the success of treatment and rehabilitation, requires taking into account the specifics of metabolism and dietary principles. The peculiarities of the needs of representatives of this category of people who additionally suffer from diabetes, which requires restriction of carbohydrate consumption, were also studied. It has been established that enteral nutrition products are used to meet their nutritional needs. The work describes the main and additional raw components used in the production of products for enteral nutrition. The existing approaches to the classification of the studied products were also investigated, a classification was developed that reflects technological and consumer characteristics and is aimed at satisfying the interests and preferences of the target category of their consumers.

Abstract:
The section of the monograph analyzes statistical data on the production of agro-industrial raw materials for the period from 1990 to 2023. It has been established that during this period the ratio between the produced products of crop production and livestock production has changed significantly. The share of livestock production does not exceed 22.7%. Animal husbandry in Ukraine, as a separate industry, is not a priority in terms of food security, and this negatively affects the consumption of animal protein by Ukrainians. In 1990, the consumption of meat and meat products was 82.4 kg per person, which corresponded to 103% of the recommended supply rate. Out of the total share of meat and meat products consumed in 1990, beef was predominant in the diet – 46.48%, pork – 36.89%, and poultry meat – 16.63%. Over the next ten years, meat consumption decreased to only 41.1% of the norm. From 2000 to 2020, the level of consumption of meat and meat products varied from 63.75% to 69.25%, the share of beef in the total mass of meat consumed decreased to 10.2%. Beef consumption data correlates with the dynamics of changes in the cattle population. The state of food security in Ukraine has been analyzed according to the overall value of the Global Food Security Index. According to these data, the situation with food security in the country during the war significantly worsened compared to previous years, but is not critical, in 2022, the food standards in Ukraine were provided at 70.2, the quality of consumed protein – 81.3. Unfortunately, the share of beef consumption as a source of complete protein and certain vitamins for Ukrainians is insignificant. The reasons for the decrease in the number of livestock are analyzed. The factors that contributed to the decrease in the share of consumption of this type of meat by the population of the state have been considered. It is noted that the state of war had a negative impact on food security in Ukraine, and subsequently on the health of the nation.

Abstract:
Escalating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with CO2 contributing approximately 76% of the total, are the primary drivers of global warming. The construction sector is a major contributor, currently responsible for about one-third of global energy consumption and associated emissions, with projections indicating a surge to 53% within the next decade due to accelerating urbanization and technological advancements. This paper delves into the transformative potential of advanced building insulation technologies to curtail CO2 emissions, drawing insights from cutting-edge research published in leading journals over the past decade. Initially, it explores the fundamental causes of global warming and the profound influence of the construction industry. The analysis then shifts to an in-depth exploration of innovative insulation materials, with a particular focus on the superior environmental performance of bio-based options. Finally, the study assesses the ecological impact, adaptability, and long-term sustainability of these materials, offering strategic recommendations for their integration into residential and commercial buildings to significantly enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints.

Tabakovic, Momir, Stefan Savic, Andreas Türk, et al. Analysis of the Technological Innovation System for BIPV in Austria. Edited by Michiel Van Noord. International Energy Agency Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.69766/aocp4683.

Full text
Abstract:
This report analyses the Technological Innovation System (TIS) of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in Austria. The study’s scope is consistent with the IEA PVPS Task 15 report [1].The analysis aims to facilitate and support the innovation, development, and implementation of industrial solutions of BIPV technologies. In Austria, the use of BIPV is still a niche application and covers under 2% of all implemented PV systems [1]. BIPV technology in Austria has historically developed with the support of different public financial incentives, national and European. The history of BIPV is somehow tightened to the history of PV. The first BIPV prototypes were developed by PV companies in the framework of national or European research activities, with the first development and innovation projects starting around 2003. In general, it should be mentioned that in the last years, PV and BIPV companies have increased specialization in the production of BIPV, especially colored and semitransparent PV modules. In this regard, a wide range of variants are offered (printing, coating, films). The colored components are mainly purchased from glass companies or polymer film producers. Another trend in Austria is the production of transparent glass/glass modules for integration in facades, skylights, winter gardens, or courtyard roofing. In 2020, the government of Austria presented a program called EAG (Erneuerabre Ausbau Gesetz) or Renewable Expansion Act [3.3.1 Hard institutions]containing certain working points to be implemented by 2024. Some of the measures are directly or indirectly relevant to the BIPV development and installation. Such as the PV encapsulation films using interference pigment technology from Lenzing Plastics. This TIS assessed the BIPV market through eight functional areas and provided the following results: ⁃ The analysis of knowledge development showed that it can be classified as moderate. On the one hand, there are not enough training and further education opportunities in the field of BIPV available, but on the other hand, the PV manufacturers and research institutions are driving forward the development of knowledge in the field of BIPV. ⁃ Knowledge dissemination is well advanced internationally within the research community but insufficient at the practical, national level, particularly between the PV industry and the construction sector. Architects are demanding more information from PV manufacturers and suppliers, who share their information only irregularly with the architectural community. Usually, architects obtain this information from PV technology platforms through workshops, brochures, and projects. However, architects have to engage with it more extensively. The goal is to make BIPV more appealing to architects. Thus, we have to summarize that knowledge dissemination is inadequate/weak. ⁃ Entrepreneurial willingness to experiment can be classified as moderate. Overall, it can be said that there are four players in the Austrian BIPV market and a substantial number of newcomers and small innovative players who could take the role of innovation drivers. However, there are too few opportunities for highly specialized small companies. ⁃ Resource mobilization is well positioned financially and in terms of network services. However, and this is essential if we want to expand the BIPV market strongly, there is a lack of skilled personnel (human resources) to carry out the expansion, which is why this function is rated to only be moderate. ⁃ The scoring of social capital is weak. The connection where there is a lack of communication is between the (BI)PV planner and the architects. In most projects, the (BI)PV planner is not involved in the early stages of the building design process. In addition, conventional PV planners have no experience or are hesitant of planning BIPV systems. ⁃ The legitimacy is moderate, but as the acceptance of PV improves from year to year, the chance of better acceptance of PV integrated into the building, i.e., BIPV, also increases. However, there are still reservations and resistance towards individual, specific BIPV projects. This resistance could be reduced by increasing knowledge about the multifunctional possibilities of BIPV at the decision-maker and customer stage as well as by showing best practice examples - Guidance of the search is moderate, as there are no specific political targets for BIPV, but there are for PV. However, the government and relevant authorities aim to implement clean energy development positively and apply applicable policies and regulations. There is an increased subsidy for innovative PV solutions [2] which also includes BIPV. ⁃ It can be stated that the market formation of BIPV in Austria still offers room for improvement. When it comes to governmental-driven incentives and support for the BIPVmarket development, the missing technical standards (e.g., fire safety regulations) and the absence of regulatory obligations on renewable energies in the local building codes are the biggest weaknesses. The structural and functional analysis is followed by a coupled structural-functional analysis. This assessment will help identify weaknesses and strengths and recommend strategies that will enable the growth of BIPV from a niche market to a major market segment. The aim is for photovoltaics (PV) on buildings to be primarily designed as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) to reduce additional costs. This, combined with the avoided costs for other components of the building, should result in cost parity with Building-Applied Photovoltaics (BAPV). It is also crucial to encourage all manufacturers of building envelope components to ensure that their products offer the dual benefit of serving as building components while also generating electricity. By doing so, such products can become standard in the industry. The transition from BAPV to BIPV was already analyzed in a 2015 BIPV brochure [2] from the Austrian Photovoltaics Technology Platform (TPPV), which discussed the advantages of an integrated solution versus an attached solution and outlined the necessary steps to make BIPV the standard for building PV. The recommendations are summarized as follows: i) It is important to involve (BI)PV in the early stages of the building planning process. ii) successful implementation projects must be made public through various channels to increase knowledge about BIPV technology and its possibilities (e.g., lighthouse projects in public buildings). iii) PV standards and construction codes have to be harmonized. iv) The Austrian government should stipulate the use of PV in the obligatory building specifications. v) Another recommendation would be to enact a law requiring every sealed area to be checked for dual use with (BI)PV. One positive development worth mentioning is the Climate Fund's Lighthouse call, which focuses specifically on integrated PV and offers higher grants for BIPV than the Renewable Expansion Act] , demonstrating increased interest and commitment to this technology. In addition, the TPPV Innovation Awards, which were awarded for the first time specifically for building-integrated PV and now include other topics of PV integration outside of buildings, are a sign that the industry is broadening its perspective and recognizing the importance of BIPV beyond traditional applications. These developments could help to further promote the acceptance and deployment of BIPV and drive innovation in this area. Nevertheless, it is important to consider the significantly higher costs of BIPV products, as well as the greatly increased planning effort that arises when PV becomes an integral building product.

Speede, Richéda, Kristie Alleyne, and Shelly-Ann Latoya Cox. Innovations for Sargassum Resilience. Inter-American Development Bank, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0013107.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 2011, the influx of sargassum in the Caribbean and West Africa has posed significant socio-economic challenges. Despite these negative impacts, there is a growing effort to turn sargassum into an opportunity. This has led to the creation of innovative products and services made from sargassum, which are now being marketed both regionally and internationally. The "Sargassum Uses Guide" is the most comprehensive resource on the topic, providing an overview of current and potential uses, along with a directory of innovators and researchers. However, it does not assess the effectiveness of these solutions or provide a global outlook. This report offers a detailed update on the current landscape of sargassum innovation and governance. It introduces the "Sargometer," a proposed tool to help entrepreneurs evaluate the sustainability and effectiveness of different solutions. The study highlights case studies of leading innovators and their products, while also incorporating community perspectives on various technological solutions. The report concludes with considerations for the future development of the sargassum industry. Technological solutions for managing sargassum influxes in the Caribbean and Latin America primarily include machinery for onshore and in-water harvesting, as well as various by-products like compost, liquid extracts, bioplastics, biogas, construction materials, clothing, and cosmetics. Some products, such as biostimulants, biofertilizers, and compost, show high potential for short-term commercialization. To maximize the use of sargassum, the study suggests a biorefinery approach. As the industry grows, it is crucial to develop governance structures, including quality and regulatory frameworks, to ensure market success. Policies should also support sustainable sargassum businesses, such as duty-free concessions and free zones for equipment and property acquisition. With the right technology and supportive environment, even small enterprises can thrive internationally.

Abstract:
Technological innovations in sanitation are poised to address the great need for sanitation improvements in low-income countries. Worldwide, more than 2.4 billion people lack access to improved sanitation facilities. Innovative waste treatment and sanitation technologies aim to incorporate user-centered findings into technology engineering and design. Without a focus on users, even the most innovative technology solutions can encounter significant barriers to adoption. Drawing on a household survey conducted in urban slum communities of Ahmedabad, India, this research brief identifies toilet and sanitation preferences, amenities, and attributes that might promote adoption of improved sanitation technologies among potential user populations. This work uses supplemental insights gained from focus groups and findings from the literature. Based on our research, we offer specific guidance for engineering and design of sanitation products and technologies.

Abstract:
This case study engages with the journey of Dhwani Rural Information Systems, a social enterprise that traces its earliest origins back to 2012. Founded by the duo of Sunandan Madan and Swapnil Aggarwal – engineers by training who met while studying for a postgraduate course at the Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) – Dhwani since its inception has been trying to help a range of social sector organizations effectively integrate technology without disrupting the core ways in which these organizations work. Notably, it has been amongst one of the early enterprises in the sector which has taken efforts to understand in-depth the technology-related “pain points” common across organizations, and to bring a degree of standardisation to their solutions. The case builds an appreciation towards the fact that at the core of a successful technology-centric social enterprise, which can offer relevant and affordable digital products and services to the sector, lies building a composite culture that can straddle both the developmental and technological landscapes. Such a culture seeks to combine engineering and consulting skills in equal measure, and seeks to solve problems mindful of the particularities of the developmental sector, while also retaining a service orientation. In particular, the case looks to draw attention to the ideas of hybridity and elasticity that are integral to such a culture and how these have to be sustained against continuous pressures of talent sourcing, compensation, retention, and learning and development. In a short period of time, Dhwani has become a mature set-up with a clear sector-agnostic product and service value proposition to the sector, with a team strength of over 120 people and over 50 projects, and a variety of organizations, including nonprofits, philanthropies, CSR divisions and governments as clients. Therefore, the experiences of the founders and members of the team offer valuable lessons for other like-minded practitioners. At the same time, to researchers in the field of social enterprise the case may provide a more granular view of important aspects of culture-building in emerging social enterprises. The fact that such enterprises have to draw from a talent pool in constant competition with their private sector counterparts imparts added force to the above considerations.

Full text
Abstract:
The 2020 global pandemic led to record grocery sales and significantly accelerated the adoption of online retail services. This trend is expected to grow as mainstream retailers aim to keep up with the speed of delivery from ‘digitally native’ competitors and changing consumer expectations. Technological innovation is being introduced to different parts of the retail supply chain leading to a changing landscape for jobs. Here we develop the concept of Innovation Work Chains (IWC). We use this framing to discuss how the introduction of different types of innovative technology are likely to impact on employment practices across the supply chain in large-scale grocery retail. This research draws on sector reports and extensive interviews with Walmart US and one of their technology partner organisations in the USA. The focus is on how automation technologies like robots, tracking technologies and AI have become pivotal to the efficient management of retail supply chains. The evidence suggests that an iterative process of adoption and adaption is required to develop company specific solutions. However, legacy systems can pose a challenge to the speed at which automation technologies can be efficiently integrated. The concept of Innovation Work Changes highlights the differential impact on the employment landscape across the retail eco-system

Full text
Abstract:
Addressing environmental challenges while improving social and economic conditions calls for innovative solutions. One of those challenges is the management of organic waste, which if left untreated can lead to water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil degradation. Brazil produces substantial amounts of organic waste due to its sizeable population and extensive agricultural production. As one of the largest economies in the Global South, the development of innovative solutions to organic waste management in Brazil can potentially pave the way for their adoption in other countries within the Global South. Biogas systems are solutions for organic waste treatment that simultaneously make use of the energy content, reduce gas emissions, and facilitate nutrient recycling. Nevertheless, their multifaceted nature also entails numerous barriers to their widespread implementation. Thus, this report explores the barriers to the development of biogas systems in Brazil and possible strategies to overcome these.Diverse data collection methods were used in the study. A literature review helped identified overall barriers to biogas systems development. This was followed by a field study in Brazil, involving visits to biogas facilities and interviews with stakeholders. The results were combined to understand the impact of the identified barriers across sectors. Finally, a workshop with Brazilian and Swedish stakeholders helped validate the findings and explore possible strategies to overcome barriers to biogas systems development.In the report barriers across eight categories are discussed, namely technological, economic, market, regulatory, cultural, environmental, network, and biomethane barriers. Technological barriers include lack of specialized knowledge, which leads to challenges in operation and maintenance of biogas reactors. Another type of technological barrier is limited access to infrastructure such as gas pipelines and sewage networks, which leads to technical challenges regarding both substrate supply and gas handling. High initial investments and funding accessibility are the most prominent economic barriers. Market barriers include competition with cheaper waste treatment solutions, lack of structured markets for biogas, and limited access to markets. The absence of a national biogas-specific policy, spatial diversity in state-level regulations; together with few and isolated incentives for biogas production are the major regulatory barriers. Cultural barriers include limited knowledge among society and substrate holders about biogas benefits, resistance to waste segregation practices, and sectoral structures hindering collaboration across the biogas value chain. Although environmental aspects of biogas systems are usually drivers to the implementation of biogas facilities, concerns such as gas leaks, odors, and soil contamination risks associated with poor facility design and performance are environmental barriers. Network barriers stem from limited platforms for discussion and interaction among actors, ultimately delaying the establishment of a unified national agenda for biogas development. Due to its characteristics, the production, distribution, and utilization of biomethane face additional challenges across various barrier categories, with major obstacles including uncertainties in grid injection contracts and infrastructure, as well as the expectation that biomethane prices should match those of natural gas.To overcome some of the barriers presented above, the study explored two strategies that could be pursued by actors interested in biogas systems development in Brazil. First, biogas cooperatives are proposed as one solution, allowing resource pooling for technology investment and enhanced biogas production. Second, dedicated biogas producers could play a crucial role,viparticularly in addressing financing challenges and ensuring efficient operation. Dedicated biogas producers could improve the technical efficiency and environmental performance of biogas facilities. Options for biogas utilization include electricity generation and biomethane production, with the latter offering tax benefits and reduced transportation costs when producers can use the biomethane for transportation themselves.The report highlights barriers across various dimensions and addresses strategies to overcome these barriers, such as biogas cooperatives and dedicated biogas producers. Future research could focus on testing these strategies in the Brazilian context through case studies, pilot projects, and collaborative initiatives to refine interventions and accelerate the adoption of biogas technologies.
