Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the application of logical framework analysis (LFA) for implementing continuous quality improvement (CQI) across multiple settings in a tertiary care hospital. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a multiple case study approach. LFA is implemented within three diverse settings, namely, intensive care unit, surgical ward, and acute in-patient psychiatric ward. First, problem trees are developed in order to determine the root causes of quality issues, specific to the three settings. Second, objective trees are formed suggesting solutions to the quality issues. Third, project plan template using logical framework (LOGFRAME) is created for each setting. Findings This study shows substantial improvement in quality across the three settings. LFA proved to be effective to analyse quality issues and suggest improvement measures objectively. Research limitations/implications This paper applies LFA in specific, albeit, diverse settings in one hospital. For validation purposes, it would be ideal to analyse in other settings within the same hospital, as well as in several hospitals. It also adopts a bottom-up approach when this can be triangulated with other sources of data. Practical implications LFA enables top management to obtain an integrated view of performance. It also provides a basis for further quantitative research on quality management through the identification of key performance indicators and facilitates the development of a business case for improvement. Originality/value LFA is a novel approach for the implementation of CQI programs. Although LFA has been used extensively for project development to source funds from development banks, its application in quality improvement within healthcare projects is scant.

Abstract:
The Malaysian Government adopted the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) as a crucial project management tool in implementing Outcome Based Approach (OBA) for public projects in 2009 via the issuance of the Guideline for Planning and Preparation of Programs and Projects Development 1/2009. The guideline was issued by the Economic Planning Unit (EPU) of the Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) (also known as Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA) since 2018), Malaysia. The Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) has been suggested as a key tool for project appraisal. However, there are some cases where the LFM has not been appropriately utilized by the ministries and agencies. This paper therefore presents the frequent failings of LFM and practical issues in the participatory approach of LFA process, which contribute to the LFM produced. Findings from the study conducted via document review and interview confirmed that frequent failings of LFM and practical issues occur in preparing LFM in Malaysia Government project planning. Three (3) measures to overcome the existing challenges as well as in reducing existing gaps were identified to include knowledge management, enforcement and format.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated patient-focused analytical framework to improve quality of care in accident and emergency (A & E) unit of a Maltese hospital. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopts a case study approach. First, a thorough literature review has been undertaken to study the various methods of healthcare quality management. Second, a healthcare quality management framework is developed using combined quality function deployment (QFD) and logical framework approach (LFA). Third, the proposed framework is applied to a Maltese hospital to demonstrate its effectiveness. The proposed framework has six steps, commencing with identifying patients’ requirements and concluding with implementing improvement projects. All the steps have been undertaken with the involvement of the concerned stakeholders in the A & E unit of the hospital. Findings – The major and related problems being faced by the hospital under study were overcrowding at A & E and shortage of beds, respectively. The combined framework ensures better A & E services and patient flow. QFD identifies and analyses the issues and challenges of A & E and LFA helps develop project plans for healthcare quality improvement. The important outcomes of implementing the proposed quality improvement programme are fewer hospital admissions, faster patient flow, expert triage and shorter waiting times at the A & E unit. Increased emergency consultant cover and faster first significant medical encounter were required to start addressing the problems effectively. Overall, the combined QFD and LFA method is effective to address quality of care in A & E unit. Practical/implications – The proposed framework can be easily integrated within any healthcare unit, as well as within entire healthcare systems, due to its flexible and user-friendly approach. It could be part of Six Sigma and other quality initiatives. Originality/value – Although QFD has been extensively deployed in healthcare setup to improve quality of care, very little has been researched on combining QFD and LFA in order to identify issues, prioritise them, derive improvement measures and implement improvement projects. Additionally, there is no research on QFD application in A & E. This paper bridges these gaps. Moreover, very little has been written on the Maltese health care system. Therefore, this study contributes demonstration of quality of emergency care in Malta.

Abstract:
This article critically reflects on two development programme planning methodologies: the dominant Logical Framework Approach (LFA) and the Theory of Change (ToC). It reviews their conceptual origins and outlines their commonalities, differences and challenges in day-to-day development practice. The article claims that while both approaches originate from the same family of programme theory, the LFA has over the years somehow lost its analytic lens to capture social change and become more of a donor-driven performance management tool. The ToC has restored some of these analytical and engagement aspects that the LFA approach was originally designed to elicit, but some of the practical challenges remain. The authors argue for a combined use of both methodologies, if held lightly and approached from a learning and not a compliance perspective.

Abstract:
The Indonesian government strives to increase non-tax state revenues (PNBP). One of the potentials PNBP is using the state assets, such as research stations, for the public interest. This paper was aimed to formulate a strategy for the PNBP potential development using the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), with a case study at the Nagrak Research Station, Bogor. In order to avoid the failure when the PNBP potential development’s stages are implemented, policy makers need to build a hierarchy based on logical thinking of input, activity, output, impact, objectives and summarized them in a work plans matrix. The process of LFA development starts with the analysis of problems, goals, and strategies. Data and information were obtained through participant observation and documentation studies. The results showed that the commercialization of the operational units of research quality’ s seeds and seedlings at the Nagrak Research Station must be supported by the government policy, including: (1) planning of seed and seedling production with the consideration of price competitiveness (2) seeds and seedling production with the financial management flexibilities, and (3) seeds and seedling distribution with stakeholders protection from the non-quality seeds and seedling’s utilization.

Abstract:
The economic growth in Southeast Asia has a number of benefits for downstream industries including jig and fixture fabricators. Jig and fixture fabricators are categorized as small and medium industries that operate based on job-shop manufacturing concept. Meantime, jig and fixture projects are characterized by the unique nature of unforeseeable demand and customized design with multiple objectives. Hence, managing jig and fixture projects is eventually not an easy task. In line with this, this paper aims to develop an objective driven framework that is applicable to jig and fixture industries in Southeast Asia. Thus, the paper reviews various objectives and success factors for jig and fixture projects. The paper subsequently proposes a jig and fixture project management framework based on an objective-oriented project planning and management theory, namely Logical Framework Approach (LFA). The proposed framework is developed based on the concept that generalizations of jig and fixture projects objectives are infeasible. As such, the proposed framework treats projects objective individually. The uniqueness of the proposed framework is the multiple cross links that exist between project management success factors and project objectives. Intrinsically, the proposed framework presents a clearer picture on important factors that contribute towards the success of achieving each projects objective. The proposed framework has descriptive value in terms of studying, classifying and defining the relationships that govern jig and fixture project activities and project objectives.

Abstract:
Swamp buffalo in South Kalimantan is a potential commodity in terms of providing meat because its ability to digest crude fiber is better than cattle with low quality feed conditions, and has the ability to reproduce over a wide range from wet areas to relatively dry areas. The study was conducted in the North Hulu Sungai regency of South Kalimantan with the aim of studying the potential of swamp buffalo maintenance areas, assessing the constraints and impacts of swamp buffalo development efforts, determining the logic of the relationship between the problem of swamp buffalo development, compiling a Logical Framework Approach for problem solving (solution) the development of swamp buffalo, making the right strategy for the development of swamp buffaloes that involve the participation of farmers, the private sector, banks, local governments, and higher education institutions on an ongoing basis. Research design with descriptive and participatory methods with LQ analysis techniques, analysis of regional potential, and Logical Framework Analysis (LFA). The results show that swamp agroecological zones are very beneficial for swamp buffalo cultivation, the strategic role of meat producers, labor, sources of income, advocates of sources of animal protein, sources of seeds, tourist attraction, and development of local wisdom. Comparing between the LQ value of 2.327 and the value of livestock density, the HSU District is the base for developing swamp buffalo cattle. The strategy model of swamp buffalo development in HSU District is to increase the use of appropriate technology, promotion through typical Kal-Sel swamp buffalo tourism events, improve: the role of skilled communities, the role of extension agents and the government, increase capital and cooperative relations between business actors, locations cultivation close to transportation routes, regulating land use, and improving institutional performance

Abstract:
Globalization era characterized by increasingly open and integrated commodity markets both between countries and between regions including fishery commodities. This imply that an increasing of product quality through empowering fishing resource is a significant step to be able to enter an era of competition. This study aims to identify the performance of the fisherman resources, a partnership between fishermen and fish entrepreneurs, and formulate alternative development model of fisherman resource with agribusiness minded. The research method is based on the survey method (primary and secondary data). Descriptive methods, descriptive statistics, and methods of the Logical Framework Analysis (LFA) are used to analyse data. The results showed that the fishermen, in general, are in the productive age with the typology of the nuclear family; more than half of the fishermen have junior secondary education level; fishing experience is categorized long enough that 18.26 years; fishermen have the motivation to keep working as a fisherman and a hierarchy of compassion (safety needs) by 60%; technical and managerial skills possessed by fishermen in general is quite good but the managerial aspects of fishing is still not good. Furthermore, most fishermen have high accessibility to the means of fishing, but only a few fishermen who use capital loans of non-formal institutions, mostly fishermen actively looking for information about fishing technology, relationship between the fishermen and fish processors/collectors is a patron client pattern, the market formed in the study area is oligopsonistic market, and net income of fishermen can be categorized enough. There are two alternative models of fisherman resources development with agribusiness minded: training model with a training for impact approach, and education model.Key words: agribusiness, development model, fisherman resources

Введение. С появлением новой специальности «Дизайн архитектурной среды» в вузах возникла необходимость в систематизации терминологического аппарата данной предметной области. Целью исследования является построение логико-понятийной модели терминологического поля «Дизайн интерьера» как компонента терминологического макрополя «Дизайн архитектурной среды». Материал и методы. Материалом для изучения послужили архитектурно-дизайнерские термины (более 620 номинаций), почерпнутые из учебно-научной литературы, лексикографических источников, профессиональной интернет-коммуникации, электронных журналов, сайтов студий дизайна и дизайнерских интернет-магазинов, данные Национального корпуса русского языка. Используются описательный и сравнительно-сопоставительный методы лингвистического исследования, приемы моделирования, дефиниционного и компонентного анализов. Результаты и обсуждение. Представлена краткая история вопроса и трактовка терминологического поля, принятая в работе «Терминополе – это унифицированная на системном основании многоуровневая классификационная структура, объединяющая термины сферы однородной профессиональной деятельности» (Л. А. Морозова). Под логико-понятийной моделью терминополя «Дизайн интерьера» понимается модельный конструкт системы взаимосвязанных понятий, группирующихся вокруг центрального понятия сферы дизайна интерьера на основе классификации понятий. Понятийный (логико-понятийный, тематический) аспект анализа терминосистемы с целью выявления ее границ и иерархической организации связан преимущественно с ономасиологическим подходом, и в этом случае терминологическое поле призвано отразить сферу специального употребления данной области знания. В результате анализа текстов профессиональной направленности определены границы терминологического макрополя «Дизайн архитектурной среды», состоящего из терминологических полей «Дизайн интерьера» и «Дизайн открытого архитектурного пространства». Сформирован корпус профессиональной лексики, входящей в терминологическое поле «Дизайн интерьера», осуществлено ее дефинирование и систематизация. Заключение. Выявлена многоуровневая разветвленная иерархическая организация терминологического поля «Дизайн интерьера», состоящая из двух субполей: «Дизайн жилых интерьеров» и «Дизайн общественных интерьеров», которые делятся на терминологические микрополя, тематические группы, подгруппы и микрогруппы (11 группировок терминов разных уровней). Таким образом построена понятийная модель терминологического поля «Дизайн интерьера», являющегося фрагментом терминологического макрополя «Дизайн архитектурной среды». Результаты работы представляют интерес для лингвистов, специалистов в области дизайна архитектурной среды, а также студентов специальности «Дизайн архитектурной среды». Introduction. The appearance of a new specialty “Architectural environment design” in universities made it necessary to systematize the terminological apparatus of this field. The purpose of this article is to create a logical and conceptual model of the terminological field “Interior Design” as a component of the terminological macro field “Architectural environment design”. Material and methods. The material for the study is architectural and design terms (more than 620 categories), taken from the academic and research literature, lexicographical sources, professional Internet communication, electronic journals, websites of design studios and design webstores, data from the National Corpus of the Russian Language. The descriptive and the comparative methods of linguistic research, techniques of modeling, definition and component analysis are used in the paper. Results and discussion. A brief background of the issue and the interpretation of terminological field adopted in the work is presented: “Terminological field is a systemically standardized multi-level classification structure that combines the terms of the sphere of homogeneous professional activity” (L.A. Morozova). The logical-conceptual model of the terminological field “Interior design” is a model construction of a system of interrelated concepts classified around the central concept of the sphere of interior design based on the classification of concepts. In order to identify the boundaries and hierarchical organization of the term system the conceptual (logical-conceptual, thematic) aspect of the analysis of it is mainly associated with the onomasiological approach, and in this case the terminological field is intended to reflect the scope of special use of this field of knowledge. As a result of the analysis of professional texts, the boundaries of the terminological macro field “Architectural environment design”, consisted of the terminological fields “Interior design” and “Open architectural space design”, are determined. The framework of professional vocabulary included in the terminological field “Interior Design” is formed, its definition and systematization are carried out. Conclusion. The multi-level branched hierarchical organization of the terminological field “Interior design”, consisting of two subfields (“Residential interior design” and “Public interior design”) is revealed, the subfields are divided into terminological microfields, thematic groups, thematic subgroups and thematic microgroups (11 term groupings of different levels). Thus, the conceptual model of the terminological field “Interior design”, which is a fragment of the terminological macro field “Architectural environment design”, is constructed. The results of the work are relevant to linguists, specialists in the field of architectural environment design, as well as students of the specialty “Architectural environment design”.

Introduction: Peru is a country that is undergoing a process of democratic transformation. Local and international development agencies are established in Peru in order to support this process. In the last decade, there has been an encouragement for these agencies to use strategic management in their project work. The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is an objective-oriented approach that has become widely employed for the planning, implementation and evaluation of development projects. The so called “vertical logic” of the LFA, rests on the assumption that project stakeholders can predetermine and agree on how certain activities will lead to the accomplishment of a hierarchy of formally stated goals.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the applicability of the vertical logic of LFA on development projects in Peru.

Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this paper is based on theories and arguments raised for and against Management By Objectives (MBO) from which the LFA originates. In addition, the special features of the development sector are discussed in regard to this rational goal approach.

Method: This paper has been carried out as a Minor Field Study (MFS) in Peru where representatives of local as well as international development agencies have been interviewed.

Empirical findings and Analysis: This paper highlights the special characteristics of development work in Peru. Projects are typically large with abstract, complex goals and multiple stakeholders. In addition, they are carried out in an environment typified by significant instability and change. These characteristics potentially make some of the features inherent in the vertical logic of LFA, such as strict planning and goal congruency, unrealistic. This potentially limits its usefulness as a strategic management tool.

Abstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.
The awareness of the environmental crisis and the impact of rising poverty globally has led to the search for sustainable solutions. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) describe the solution as a secure peaceful world, a healthier environment and a better quality of life for all. Nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) are important development actors in realising this goal. They work within civil society and focus on the empowerment of the vulnerable and marginalised through the transfer of skills, resources and power. Their flexibility, commitment to social justice and strong relationships with the community allow NGOs to develop creative responses, developing new models for sustainable solutions. A weakness of NGOs is the inability to provide reliable evidence of the effect, or impact, of programmes and their contribution towards a better society. Further the reliance on donor funding can change the focus of accountability from the beneficiaries to donors and stakeholders. The study is based in the given reality that NGOs are required to adopt a more strategic outcomes orientated approach to programme and project planning to be able to measure the impact of services to improve the effectiveness of services and prove their added value to society. This is most often done through the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) as a planning model, as many governments, multilateral aid agencies and donors use this model to develop policies and determine funding priorities. This study therefore gives an overview of the literature regarding the principles, benefits and challenges of the LFA from various sources. These are considered within the diverse and complex development context and how the complexity affects the use of this tool in planning, monitoring and evaluation. The LFA is based on the Management by Objectives model. The LFA provides a relatively objective, systematic and thoughtful guide to project planning which enables organisations to measure their progress in realising goals. The visually accessible log frame explains how the use of resources will contribute towards reaching the goal. It enables the organisation to present their projects to a wider audience increasing its accountability to donors, stakeholders and beneficiaries. Yet, organisations are often very critical of the use of the Logical Framework Approach as it assumes that society is a stable environment where factors can be manipulated to bring about expected results. It ignores the dynamic, complex and frequently unpredictable nature of society and the non-linear path of social learning and empowerment. Further the model can be misused and exploited to enforce power relationships resulting in the development of inappropriate or irrelevant projects that do not meet the needs of the intended beneficiaries. The study concludes that, despite all the criticisms, the Logical Framework Approach can be a very useful tool and provides recommendations that will help find a balance between the structured planning process and the participative and creative social learning techniques. NGOs can be focussed and accountable and still remain more responsive to the needs of communities.

Abstract:
Under the current results-driven development agenda, sound evaluation, and a corresponding evaluation toolkit, need to be in place to examine whether and to what extent development interventions have achieved their targeted objectives and results, and to generate lessons for further development learning and improvement. My review of the literature shows that innovative and appropriate evaluation approaches are needed to address key challenges in evaluation such as the tension between learning and accountability objectives, the need to unpack the mechanisms linking outputs and outcomes or goal, and to add an actor perspective. Irrespective of project type, the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is often a standard requirement of major official donor agencies on projects they fund, so as to fulfil bureaucratic imperatives. However, it is often considered inadequate in addressing key challenges in development evaluation. Given the dominant status of the LFA with such strong support from donors, it is helpful to seek a ‘middle way': a combination of the LFA with other approaches in order to address some of its inadequacies, while satisfying donor agencies' requirements. A synthesis of the LFA and Outcome Mapping (OM) is one such option. This thesis explores the practical value and usefulness of a synthesis model empirically. Applying the model in two case study aid projects, I found that it serves well as a theory-based evaluation tool with a double-stranded (actor strand and results chain) theory of change. The model helps reconcile learning and accountability and add explanatory power and an explicit actor perspective. It also helps establish causation and enable attribution claims at various results levels with its different elements. The model has some limitations but my results suggest it can be usefully adopted. The choice of its application depends on project evaluation context and purpose in specific cases.

Nos últimos quarenta anos, o Método do Quadro Lógico (MQL) vem sendo utilizado como modelo para o planejamento, execução e avaliação de projetos de desenvolvimento, por agências bilaterais, multilaterais, organizações governamentais e não governamentais. A condução de projetos com o apoio do método forneceu subsídios para a evolução do conceito original, ramificando-se em novos modelos e instrumentos, mas seu instrumento principal, o Quadro Lógico, permaneceu sendo empregado, apesar de algumas pequenas alterações. Durante seu período de maior evolução, os anos 1990, algumas fortes críticas questionaram a efetividade do método, mas não chegaram a abalar seu uso, pois a quantidade de usuários continuou a crescer. As críticas serviram para reflexão. Com a criação e evolução de outras ferramentas de gerenciamento de projetos, foi possível a assimilação do uso de componentes desses modelos para, em conjunto com o MQL, proporcionar melhorias no seu uso, tornando-o ainda mais consistente. O propósito desse trabalho foi, após diferenciar as características de projetos empresariais de projetos de desenvolvimento, considerando o largo uso do Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) nas Américas, avaliar as potenciais contribuições que esse conjunto de ferramentas, mais utilizado para projetos empresariais, pode proporcionar ao MQL, abordando diretamente seus pontos fracos e desvantagens e demonstrando as maneiras como o PMBOK pode contribuir para minimizar suas fraquezas e vulnerabilidades.
In the last forty years, the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) has been used as a model for the planning, implementation and evaluation of development projects by bilateral and multilateral agencies, governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Conducting projects with the support of the approach provided subsidies for the evolution of the original concept, branching into new models and tools, but its main instrument, the Logical Framework, remained running, despite some little changes. During its period of greatest development, the 1990s, some strong criticism questioned the effectiveness of the method, but failed to affect its use, since the number of users continued to grow. The criticisms served to reflection. With the creation and evolution of other project management tools, it was possible to assimilate the use of components of these models, in conjunction with the LFA, providing improvements in its use, and making it more consistent. The purpose of this study was, after contrasting the characteristics of business projects and development projects, and considering the wide use of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) in the Americas, to evaluate the potential contributions that this set of tools can provide to the LFA, directly addressing its weaknesses and drawbacks and demonstrating the ways in which PMBOK can help to reduce its vulnerabilities.

Abstract:
The topic of the thesis focuses on the management of projects funded by the EU. In the first part I provide basic information about possibility of withdrawing funds from the EU. I describe operational programmes, funding opportunities and the process of withdrawing finances. I focus on the classification of different types of projects to be financed. The second part focuses on project management itself. I will analyze the project management methodology approved by European Commission for projects funded by the EU -- the logical framework approach. I will analyze whether the logical framework approach covers all phases of the project life cycle defined by the EU. I propose some methods that can be used in practice for different types of project with usage of well-known standard for project management -- PMBOK. The last part includes a case study -- analysis of project "Revitalization of village center in Drnava". Applying the logical framework methodology I will design a logical framework matrix for the village, which is one of the obligatory documents needed for the subsidiary applicants.

Abstract:
This research study aims to enhance the effectiveness of the architectural design process regarding the exploration and framing of the best visual connections to the outside environment within built environments. Specifically, it aims to develop a framework for developing and integrating an inside-out design approach augmented and informed by digital 3D geospatial data as a way to enhance the explorative ability and decision-making process for designers regarding the visual connection to the outside environment. To do so, the strategy of logical argumentation is used to analyze and study the phenomenon of making visual connections to a surrounding context. The initial recommendation of this stage is to integrate an inside-out design approach that operates within the digital immersion within 3D digital representations of the surrounding context. This strategy will help to identify the basic logical steps of the proposed inside-out design process. Then, the method of immersive case study is used to test and further develop a proposed process by designing a specific building, specifically, an Art Museum building on the campus of Virginia Tech. Finally, the Delphi method is used in order to evaluate the necessity and importance of the proposed approach to the design process and its ability to achieve this goal. A multi-round survey was distributed to measure the consensus among a number of experts regarding the proposed design approach and its developed design tool. Overall, findings refer to a total agreement among the participating experts regarding the proposed design approach with some different concerns regarding the proposed design tool.

Achieving a well-designed visual connection to one's surroundings is considered by many philosophers and theorists to be an essential aspect of our spatial experience within built environments. The goal of this research is to help designers to achieve better visual connections to the outside environment and therefore create more meaningful spatial experiences within the built environment. This research aims to enhance the ability of designers to explore the best possible views and make the right design decisions to frame these views of the outdoors from the inside of their buildings. Of course, the physical presence of designers at a building site has been the traditional method of determining the best views; however, this is not always possible during the design process for many reasons. Thus, this research aims to find a more effective alternative to visiting a building site in order to inform each design decision regarding the quality of its visual connection to the outdoors. To do so, this research developed a proposed inside-out design approach to be integrated into the design process. Specifically, it outlines a process that allows the designers to be digitally immersed within an accurate 3D representation of the surrounding context, which will help designers to explore views from multiple angles both inside the space and in response make the most suitable design decision. For further developing the proposed process, it was used during conducting this research to design an Art Museum on Virginia Tech Campus.

The Suitability of Global Policies to raise Local Agricultural Productivity Rates and Food Security in Lago District, Mozambique."

Abstract:
The majority of the rural population in developing countries sustains their livelihoods through small-scale family farming on subsistence level. However, agricultural productivity is far from its potential and food insecurity and high absolute poverty rates are widespread challenges in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), including Mozambique. Global actors, such as the World Bank (WB), frequently publish policy guidelines, strategy papers and reports, all aiming at tackling the focal problem of low agricultural productivity and claiming to be dedicated to the overall goal of economic, social, inclusive and sustainable development. But as agricultural productivity rates in many developing countries remain low, and food insecurity rates have been high for several decades, the adequacy of global policy guidelines for local structures, conditions and needs is questionable. The aim of this study is therefore to analyze the suitability of and identify possible discrepancies between global strategies – that claim to raise agricultural productivity and food security – and the local level. A strong emphasis is placed on a people-centered, local grassroots perspective. To gather data, a five-week field study in Lago District, Mozambique, was carried out, following an abductive approach and using semi-structured interviews on household level, and with a variety of other stakeholders from the public and private sector. The Logical Framework Approach was applied to structure the findings from the WB report and from the field work, with the aim to create a basis for the analysis and comparison of that data, which provides an answer to the research problem of the suitability of global policies on local level. Additional analytical guidance is provided by the concept of human security and a gender perspective. Conclusions from the study demonstrate that the neoliberal point of departure and the different understandings of small-scale farming underlying the problem and objective of (low) agricultural productivity rates identified by the WB, are not coherent in comparison to the local situation identified in Lago District. The development interventions suggested by the WB rather tend to be an obstacle for sustainable rural and agricultural development, as well as local food security/sovereignty, poverty alleviation and inclusive economic growth in the context of Lago District.

A gestão de projetos de desenvolvimento territorial está sendo, de forma crescente, confrontada com os desafios da localização e da sustentabilidade. Neste contexto, se questiona se os tradicionais modelos de gestão de projetos, fundamentados ainda no pensamento mecanicista e reducionista, podem fazer frente a estes desafios. Esta pesquisa procura, de forma indutiva, buscar respostas para esta questão, partindo da sistematização do caso do “Programa de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Sustentado da Costa dos Coqueiros”, analisando discursos da academia e das agências de assistência técnica ao desenvolvimento, bem como estudando dois modelos de referência em gestão de projetos, o Logical Framework Approach e o Project Management Body of Knowledge. Resulta destas análises a conclusão de que a concepção e a administração de projetos de desenvolvimento territorial, além de serem fortemente influenciadas pelo contexto local, requerem uma nova forma de abordagem, de caráter mais endógeno, que promova a capacitação, a participação e o empoderamento efetivo dos beneficiários e dos demais atores locais envolvidos.

Abstract:
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) offers life-saving treatment options for patients with advanced heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and acute cardiopulmonary failure. With the development of short-term, long-term, left-sided, right-sided, biventricular, and cardiopulmonary support options, the complexity surrounding this field has evolved substantially in the past decade. This textbook seeks to provide a logical and systematic framework for managing patients who require MCS therapies. In chapters 2–9, a comprehensive approach to selecting and preparing patients for MCS interventions is described. In chapters 10–23, the range of currently available devices is reviewed with updates on the most up-to-date clinical experiences based on recently published outcomes. Chapters 24–30 describe the current state of the art in perioperative strategies for achieving long-term success. Finally, chapters 31–46 outline the myriad of clinical challenges that often occur in the postoperative period, including some of the frequently encountered adverse events that are unique to the physiology associated with this technology. The fundamental principles included in this textbook will provide a framework for the MCS provider that can serve as a road map amidst the rapidly evolving landscape created by the technology pipeline within this industry.

Abstract:
Choices made by individuals, small groups, or coalitions representing nation-states result in policies or strategies with international outcomes. Foreign policy decision-making, an approach to international relations, is aimed at studying such decisions. The rational choice model is widely considered to be the paradigmatic approach to the study of international relations and foreign policy. The evolution of the decision-making approach to foreign policy analysis has been punctuated by challenges to rational choice from cognitive psychology and organizational theory. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, scholars began to ponder the deterrence puzzle as they sought to find solutions to the problem of credibility. During this period, cross-disciplinary research on organizational behavior began to specify a model of decision making that contrasted with the rational model. Among these models were the bounded rationality/cybernetic model, organizational politics model, bureaucratic politics model, prospect theory, and poliheuristic theory. Despite these and other advances, the gulf between the rational choice approaches and cognitive psychological approaches appears to have stymied progress in the field of foreign policy decision-making. Scholars working within the cognitivist school should develop theories of decision making that incorporate many of the cognitive conceptual inputs in a logical and coherent framework. They should also pursue a multi-method approach to theory testing using experimental, statistical, and case study methods.

Abstract:
AbstractDeductive verification techniques based on program logics (i.e., the family of Floyd-Hoare logics) are a powerful approach for program reasoning. Recently, there has been a trend of increasing the expressive power of such logics by augmenting their rules with additional information to reason about program side-effects. For example, general program logics have been augmented with cost analyses, logics for probabilistic computations have been augmented with estimate measures, and logics for differential privacy with indistinguishability bounds. In this work, we unify these various approaches via the paradigm of grading, adapted from the world of functional calculi and semantics. We propose Graded Hoare Logic (GHL), a parameterisable framework for augmenting program logics with a preordered monoidal analysis. We develop a semantic framework for modelling GHL such that grading, logical assertions (pre- and post-conditions) and the underlying effectful semantics of an imperative language can be integrated together. Central to our framework is the notion of a graded category which we extend here, introducing graded Freyd categories which provide a semantics that can interpret many examples of augmented program logics from the literature. We leverage coherent fibrations to model the base assertion language, and thus the overall setting is also fibrational.

Abstract:
This chapter explores ways in which we can be equally rigorous about how to reason about and assess uncertain evidence, using a framework that allows for uncertainty but does not depend on being able to quantify it. It begins by defining what is meant by ‘evidence’ since it has somewhat different interpretations in different fields. It then attempts to develop a unified perspective. The central idea of this unification is that it is based on logic and the patterns of argumentation which are to be seen in deliberations and debates about evidence. The framework does not reject the importance of probabilistic methods for reasoning about evidence but offers a broader perspective which accommodates probabilistic methods when they are practical, and offers an alternative set of methods when they are not.

Abstract:
In attempting to analyze the notion of a logical system, there are various approaches that could be taken. One would be to look at the things people have called logical systems and try to develop a natural framework which would encompass most or many of these, and then explore the consequences of the framework, seeing what else falls under the framework and what the consequences of the general notion happen to be. This was basically the approach taken, for example, in Barwise [1974], one of the early attempts to develop such a framework. This approach has much to recommend it, but it also has at least two serious drawbacks. It is too dependent on accidents of history, that is, on what particular systems of logic people happened to have developed. There is at least the theoretical possibility that biases of precedent and fashion have played a significant role in the way things have gone. If so, the abstraction away from practice has the danger of codifying these historicallycontingent biases, making them appear like necessary features of a logical system. The flip side of this problem is that there may well be some unnatural logical systems which contort the framework. But how else could one proceed in an attempt to get a principled notion of logical system? Another approach, the one we take here, is to look at the existing logical systems that people happened to have developed and to try to see what they were up to in more general terms. Our hope is to find some interesting natural phenomenon lurking behind these systems, a “natural kind,” if you will. If there is such a natural phenomenon, it could be used to guide the formulation of an abstract notion of logical system. If a characterization of logical systems could be found using this approach, it would have potentially two significant advantages over the more orthodox approach. First, it would provide a basis from which one could give a principled critique of existing systems claimed to be logical systems. Second, though, it would point out gaps, that is, logical systems which have yet to be developed.

This chapter introduces a construction approach to logic education by explaining why such an approach is needed and how it should be implemented. The chapter is divided into two parts. The first part argues that conventional logic education cannot teach people how to make a practical use of logic because what people commonly learn from conventional textbooks of logic can hardly correspond to the ordinary way of reasoning. The second part highlights how the construction approach can be integrated into people's ordinary way of reasoning by being practical and constructive in helping people use logic in what they do, such as writing an academic paper. It presents a general framework about how a logical relation can be constructed from scratch, and the three major steps of the construction.

Abstract:
We need waste disposal methods that allow the human race to live on this planet in harmony with nature, preserving our resources and habitat and leaving a legacy for our children and grandchildren that does not deprive them of opportunities. These changes will not come easily; they will require resolve and foresight. Just as a mathematician develops the proof to a mathematical theorem, we must start from a basic axiom, and step by step, following a logical progression, we must build a practical framework for waste management. We started this task in chapter 2, where we derived three general principles from the axiom of sustainable development. Can we apply these general principles to develop practical guidelines—first, to overcome the shortcomings of existing landfills, and second, to find other, innovative disposal methods that will conform with sustainable development? Let us look at each of the three principles in turn. Human health and the environment must be protected, both now and in the future. This principle is fundamental and places important constraints on the siting and design of disposal facilities, and also on the form of the waste. In particular, the final four words, “and in the future,” are very important. This principle can be satisfied in two ways: by reducing the toxicity of the wastes so they pose minimal risk, or by containing wastes so that they cannot escape and cause harm. In some cases, the latter method includes controlled leakage at a rate that the environment can assimilate without long-term degradation. Wastes must be managed so that no burden is placed on future generations and they are not deprived of the opportunities we have had. In other words, our grandchildren should not have to spend their valuable resources to solve our waste problems, nor should they be denied resources because our generation has depleted them. Neither should their health and environment be placed at risk because of our actions. The main impacts of landfills on future generations are the requirement to provide ongoing guardianship and maintenance; the loss of valuable land; and impairment of groundwater, surface water, and the atmosphere.

Abstract:
Formal logic can be used as a tool for representing complex and heterogeneous data such as beliefs, knowledge and preferences. This study proposes an approach for defining clustering methods that deal with bases of propositional formulas in classical logic, i.e., methods for dividing formula bases into meaningful groups. We first use a postulate-based approach for introducing an intuitive framework for formula clustering. Then, in order to characterize interesting clustering forms, we introduce additional properties that take into consideration different notions, such us logical consequence, overlapping, and consistent partition. Finally, we describe our approach that shows how the inconsistency measures can be involved in improving the task of formula clustering. The main idea consists in using the measures for quantifying the quality of the inconsistent clusters. In this context, we propose further properties that allow characterizing interesting aspects related to the amount of inconsistency.

Abstract The goal of this paper is to develop the groundwork for automated synthesis of function models. To this end, an evolutionary algorithm based framework has been developed. A parameterization method that can completely describe any given function models has been proposed. The parameterization makes the function models compatible for use within the evolutionary algorithm framework. Validation of the parameterization method is carried out by using an evolutionary algorithm to synthesize the function models for five different electromechanical products. The algorithm converged in each case, indicating that the method is satisfactory and that function models can actually be synthesized using an evolutionary framework. In addition, the adaptation of several a priori rules for use in this framework has been proposed. These rules are categorized as grammar, logical and feature based rules. An updated evolutionary framework that incorporates these rules is also presented.

Abstract:
This paper presents FIDOE, a Framework for Intelligent Distributed Ontologies in Engineering. FIDOE consists of a suite of logic rules and templates for interactively developing relationships between properties of linked ontologies. The logical rules embedded in FIDOE automatically operate on various discipline-specific ontologies to systematically identify influences, direct and indirect, of proposed design modifications on other aspects of the design through common domain concepts. Once potential influences are identified, FIDOE enables the user to precisely define the domain relationships, using predefined templates, between the identified domain concepts that enumerate influence types. This tool, thus, provides a pervasive, real time awareness of the implications of design changes during the design process in a distributed environment. The application of FIDOE to distributed and multidisciplinary design problems is detailed with the aid of an industry-provided printed circuit board (PCB) design. Here, commonalities among indirectly connected domain ontologies (electrical, mechanical and thermal domains) are identified using the developed query method and subsequent relationships are defined. These relationships are then applied to provide a collaborative understanding and awareness of the distributed process, all while demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach. This awareness was successfully able to address some previously identified industry concerns, returning promising results while laying a solid foundation for future work.

Abstract:
The concept of hybrids combining fuel cell and gas turbine systems is without question neoteric, and probably is less than eight years old. However, this concept is in a sense a logical development derived from the many early systems that embodied the key features of rotating machinery to compress air. It was the introduction of high temperature fuel cells such as the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that allowed the concept of hybrid gas turbine fuel cell systems to take root. The SOFC with an operating temperature circa 1000° C matched well with small industrial gas turbines that had firing temperatures on the same order. The recognition that the SOFC could be substituted for the gas turbine combustor was the first step into the realm of fuel cell topping systems. Fuel cells in general were recognized as having higher efficiencies at elevated pressures. Thus the hybrid topping system where the gas turbine pressurized the fuel cell and the fuel cell supplied the hot gases for expansion over the turbine promised to provide a high level of synergy between the two systems. Bottoming systems using the exhaust of a gas turbine as the working fluid of a fuel cell such as the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) have been identified and are potential future power generation hybrid systems. The MCFC is especially well suited to the bottoming role because of the need to have carbon dioxide present in the inlet air stream. The carbon dioxide in the gas turbine exhaust allows the high temperature blower, normally used to recirculate and inject exhaust products into the inlet air, to be eliminated. Hybrid systems have the potential of achieving fossil fuel to electricity conversion efficiencies on the order of 70% and higher. The costs of hybrid systems in dollars per kilowatt are generally higher than say an advanced gas turbine that is available today but not by much. The net energy output over the life of a hybrid topping system is similar to that of a recuperated gas turbine but possibly lower than a high-efficiency simple-cycle machine, depending on the efficiency of the hybrid. Methodologies to aid in the selection of the hybrid system for future development have to be developed and used consistently. Life cycle analyses (LFA) provide a framework for such selection processes. In particular the concept of net energy output provides a mechanism to assign relative worth to competing concepts.
