Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to explore how creative competencies acquired through involvement in music and style-based youth cultures are being converted by young people into DIY (do-it-yourself) careers. This term, as applied here, covers a range of alternative and do-it-yourself modes of work and employment not governed by the acquisition of formal qualifications and training, but, rather, grounded in knowledge and practical know-how acquired through participation in music and style-based youth cultures and associated consumption, leisure and lifestyle practices. The article examines how the emergence of the DIY career can be placed in the context of the collapse of the youth labour market and the increasingly precarious position in which young people find themselves. It also argues that, given the increasing emphasis among youth (and indeed post-youth individuals) placed on the significance of music as a source of DIY career-making, some redefinition of the term DIY music-making and the sphere of DIY creative practice is necessary, particularly in respect of its relationship to more mainstream cultural industries and the related concept of the ‘creative city’.

Abstract:
This article focuses on presenting, analysing and understanding the ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY) representations of over 200 participants in Portuguese punk music scenes between 1977 and 2014. Through an ethnographic study of punk and the DIY ethos in Portugal, the article depicts its local interpretation and significance, and highlights the singularities of this socio-historical context. Our approach has three focal points: (1) the importance of DIY punk manifestations in the development of youth (sub)cultures, including forms of production and consumption of music, fashion, aesthetics, leisure, the night and cosmopolitanism; (2) the singularity of DIY punk manifestations in Portugal and related resistance practices in their correlation with social, political and economic development in a country outside the Anglo-Saxon context; and (3) the embedding of a DIY ethos and the associated claim to authenticity in the professions and careers in which punks engage today.

Abstract:
Young people investing themselves in DIY cultures have to negotiate the complex but now normalised nexus of employment, unemployment and underemployment to make ends meet, while maintaining space in their lives to pursue their creative and artistic passions. This article presents research with young people in an underground music scene across Australia who are balancing economic pressures with their desires to generate and uphold DIY and punk-influenced activities in a networked community of likeminded friends and collaborators. Many of the participants actively ‘choose poverty’, that is, they knowingly and strategically make decisions that ‘keep overheads low’ to free up temporal and mental space to continue to be creative. Their ideas of being successful are not expressed in material terms, but are contingent upon a future where they continue to have the opportunity to invest themselves in their interests even if that means living in relative poverty. Using the oft-ignored Bourdieusian concepts of illusio, struggle and strategy, this article provides a case study of some of the ways young people deal with the risks and opportunities of a precarious existence. In this case, living an ethical life trumps material concerns, projecting a hopeful attitude towards the future.

Abstract:
Only recently have researchers begun thoroughly examining the role of youth music cultures and subcultures in participants’ ‘adult’ lives, suggesting that participation does not end with an abrupt transition to adulthood. Significantly, how subcultural experience translates into work skills and job opportunities needs further investigation. Based upon interviews and participant observation with older straight edgers – clean-living punks associated with the hardcore music scene – over the course of five years, this article examines subcultural entrepreneurs, in particular straight edgers, who have used DIY experiences to start businesses or advance careers. I first examine how involvement in DIY scenes can influence choice of career; many participants chose work reflective of their DIY values and/or created their own career. Next, I discuss how participants’ DIY dispositions influence their work, including tolerance for risk, confidence, self-reliance, and adaptability. I then demonstrate how participants translate scene experience into useful and marketable skills, including management, organization, marketing, and job-specific proficiencies.

AbstractThrough fragments of narratives gathered from the documentary The Punk Singer, based on the life and career of musician and activist Kathleen Hanna, pioneer of the Riot Grrrl movement, we refer to the third wave of the feminist movement, by demonstrating the dimensions of intersectionality and youth protagonism within her work. Ranging from fanzines, art, collages and lyric-making to performance and music groups based on a punk "do it yourself" (DIY) philosophy, we highlight Hanna's broad contribution to contemporary feminism by challenging an oppressive scenario within the punk movement, and by stimulating the emergence of other feminist, rebel and riot grrrls initiatives. Her artistic practice and performance are analyzed through the bias of DIY and remix cultures, thus potentializing distributions of the sensible and politicities in the engagement of subjectivities that surpass the containment of current imaginaries.Keywords: Feminism.

Abstract:
Biomedical outcomes for people with diabetes remain suboptimal for many. Psychosocial care in diabetes does not fare any better. “Artificial pancreas” (also known as “closed-loop” and “automated insulin delivery”) systems present a promising therapeutic option for people with diabetes (PWD)—simultaneously improving glycemic outcomes, reducing the burden of self-management, and improving health-related quality of life. In recent years there has emerged a growing movement of PWD innovators rallying behind the mantra #WeAreNotWaiting, developing “do-it-yourself artificial pancreas systems (DIY APS).” Self-reported results by DIY APS users show improved metabolic outcomes such as impressive stability of glucose profiles, significant reduction of A1c, and more time within their glycemic target range. However, the benefits remain unclear for the broader population of PWD beyond these highly engaged, highly tech-savvy users willing and able to engage in the demands of building and maintaining their DIY APS. We discuss the challenges faced by key stakeholder groups in terms of potential collaboration and open debate of these challenges.

Critchley, Tom. "DIY Design and Radical Worldbuilding at The Grove Skatepark, London." Temes de Disseny, no. 39 (July 27, 2023): 208–27. http://dx.doi.org/10.46467/tdd39.2023.208-227.
Abstract:
This paper presents an ethnographic case study of DIY design practices at a skatepark in London, UK. The skatepark is presented as an urban commons, offering a framework for DIY infrastructuring that contrasts top-down and inequitable urbanisation processes. Three key themes emerge from the fieldwork that demonstrate the capacities and limitations of DIY design. Firstly, DIY practices are viewed as “learning-by-doing”, wherein skateboarders not only learn how to construct a skatepark but also an array of vocational and soft skills. Here, DIY’s qualities of low barriers to participation, multidisciplinarity, and low risk of failure foreground a rich environment of vernacular knowledge exchange that underpins the research methodology of this paper utilising skatepark construction as object-orientated, research-through-design. Secondly, DIY design is found to support a community of practitioners that transcend the space as just a skatepark, incorporating a community garden, collaborative theatre project and arts-based workshops that transcend male-dominated histories of DIY skateboarding cultures. Here, Participatory Design (PD) notions of ‘infrastructuring’ mirror an emergent and open-ended design process that supports inclusive socio-material worldmaking. Thirdly, DIY design practices influence the ways in which the space is governed, in which there are found to be contradictory notions of “prefigurative politics.” Here, the space is argued to be inclusive and anarchic yet centres agency around notions of “core skateboarding” that reinforce masculine hegemonies. Collectively, this paper argues that DIY design has the potential to serve as a worldmaking agent underpinned by a unique set of values and modes which are well-suited to times of uncertainty, flux and crisis, yet highlights the necessity for critically engaging with the politics and practices of both DIY and skateboarding communities.

Messey, Orlane. ""C’est du sport, tu t’attendais à quoi ?". D'un entre-soi permissif à un sport inclusif : le cas du roller derby français." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024UBFCC001.
Abstract:
Le roller derby est une discipline sportive américaine, apparue en France en 2009. Sa diffusion en Europe est notamment liée au film Bliss qui contribue à la popularisation de cet ancien sport, recréé en 2001 aux abords des milieux musicaux alternatifs du Texas. Le roller derby s’implante en France à partir d’un modèle de pratique carnavalesque, à travers lequel les équipes se plaisent à détourner les codes du sport mainstream. De plus, celles-ci tendent à s’organiser initialement autour de la logique punk do it yourself (DIY), qui consistent à refuser les logiques capitalistes en privilégiant l’autogestion. Dix ans après l’apparition de cette pratique en France, ce travail de thèse en sciences du sport entend comprendre la structuration du roller derby face au modèle sportif « traditionnel », mainstream. À partir d’une approche sociologique et ethnographique, il s’agit d’interroger la manière dont le roller derby français parvient à se structurer en dehors des cadres dominants. Le constat d’une euphémisation évidente des marqueurs subversifs et l’adoption des codes du milieu sportif fédéral suggèrent l’inscription dans la pratique dans un processus de sportivisation. Pourtant, celle-ci n’est pas ici synonyme d’une récupération par les instances sportives. Cette normalisation de la pratique prend place, au contraire, au sein même des équipes. En mobilisant les cadres de l’interactionnisme symbolique, cette recherche met en lumière le rôle joué par les actrices de la pratique au cours de cette sportivisation et les manières dont celle-ci négocient un cadre de pratique articulé entre détournement et appropriation du modèle sportif dominant. L’enjeu principal est ainsi de montrer le passage d’une pratique dite « permissive » à un sport « inclusif ». Si les joueuses défendent aujourd’hui leur place sur les terrains du sport mainstream, l’affichage d’une inclusion des minorités de genre s’est progressivement substitué aux marqueurs – carnavalesques – de subversion des codes sportifs. À mesure que les équipes quittent les « marges » du sport pour investir ses institutions, la subversion laisse place à l’inclusion, comme un ultime insigne de distance vis-à-vis du centre du milieu sportif. Néanmoins, des équipes continuent de résister au poids du modèle compétitif. À celles qui s’emparent de nouveau du DIY comme d’un moyen d’organiser autrement la pratique sportive (sans hiérarchie, de manière horizontale), d’autres choisissent de privilégier le folklore comme mode de résistance à l’homogénéisation de la pratiqueRoller derby is an American sports discipline that emerged in France in 2009. Its spread in Europe is notably linked to the film Bliss, which contributes to the popularization of this ancient sport, recreated in 2001 in the alternative music scenes of Texas. Roller derby establishes itself in France based on a carnival and permissive practice model through which the teams hijacked the mainstream sport. Furthermore, teams initially organized around the punk do-it-yourself (DIY) logic, which involved rejecting capitalist logic and favoring self-management. Ten years after the emergence of this practice in France, this sports science thesis aims to understand the structuring of roller derby in relation to the "traditional," mainstream sports model. Using a sociological and ethnographic approach, the aim is to examine how French roller derby managed to structure itself outside dominant frameworks. The observation of an obvious euphemization of subversive markers and the adoption of codes from the federal sports environment suggest the incorporation of the practice into a sportification process. However, this is not synonymous with a takeover by sports authorities here. On the contrary, this normalization of practice takes place within the teams themselves. By mobilizing symbolic interactionism frameworks, this research highlights the role played by the female practitioners during this sportsification and how they negotiate a practice framework articulated between the diversion and appropriation of the dominant sports model. The main challenge is to show the transition from a so-called "permissive" practice to an "inclusive" sport. While female players now defend their place on mainstream sports fields, the display of inclusion of gender minorities has gradually replaced the carnivalesque markers of subversion of sports codes. As teams are leaving the margins of the sport to enter its institutions, subversion gives way to inclusion, as a final marker of distance from the core of the sports environment. Nevertheless, some teams continue to resist the pressure of the competitive model. Some embrace DIY as a means of organizing sports practice differently (without hierarchy, but horizontally), while others choose to prioritize folklore as a mode of resistance to the homogenization of practice

Abstract:
AFRIKAANS: Die Suid-Afrikaanse owerheid het 'n verantwoordelikheid in die lewering van dienste ter bevrediging van bepaalde behoeftes van die samelewing. Openbare bestuurders in die Suid-Afrikaanse staatsdiens behoort oor besondere vermoëns en kwaliteite te beskik om die staatsdiens doeltreffend in 'n vinnig veranderde omgewing te bestuur ten einde gemeenskapsbehoeftes te bevredig. Dit is die verantwoordelikheid van elke open bare bestuurder om die toegekende organisasie-eenhede doeltreffend te bestuur. Die openbare bestuurder kan nie na willekeur die administratiewe en openbare bestuursaktiwiteite uitoefen nie. Die normatiewe rigsnoere van eerbiediging van die oppergesag, openbare aanspreeklikheid en verantwoordelikheid, openbare doeltreffendheid, die toepassing van die administratiefreg, eerbiediging van samelewingswaardes, hoe etiese norme en standaarde, asook sosiale gelykstelling en geregtigheid moet deurentyd deur die openbare bestuurder gehandhaaf word. Die doel met hierdie verhandeling is om die rol van die openbare bestuurder in die ontwikkeling van 'n organisasiekultuur te bepaal. Die woorde "organisasie", "organisasie-ontwikkeling" en "organisasiekultuur" het 'n direkte invloed op die verhandeling en daarom is genoemde woorde duidelik omskryf en betekenisse daaraan gekoppel. Die openbare sektor is dinamies en die departemente word aan voortdurende veranderinge blootgestel wat tot herorganisering lei wat weer 'n invloed op die organisasiekultuur uitoefen. Organisasies kan nie op dieselfde wyse hervorm word nie en daarom verskil kulture van organisasie tot organisasie. In die organisasie vorm daar soms subgroepe wat oor sterk subkulture beskik en openbare bestuurders behoort hierdie subgroepe tot voordeel van die organisasie aan te wend deur byvoorbeeld gesonde kompetisie tussen die onderskeie subgroepe aan te moedig. Daar bestaan geen “beste” tegniek vir die bestuur van kultuurverandering nie. Elke openbare bestuurder behoort dus die tegniek te kies of tegnieke te kombineer wat die beste by sy of haar spesifieke omstandighede sal inpas. Openbare bestuurders behoort 'n positiewe ingesteldheid rakende die organisasiekultuur aan die res van die organisasielede oor te dra. Die openbare bestuurder in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks funksioneer in 'n milieu wat verskeie eise stel. Omgewingsfaktore in die staatsdiens bly nooit konstant nie en veranderinge, in byvoorbeeld, die politieke, sosiale, ekonomiese en tegnologiese omgewing het teweeg gebring dat die kultuur van die organisasie beïnvloed word en moet op so 'n wyse bestuur word dat dit tot voordeel van die organisasie en die samelewing is. Die veranderde omgewing waarbinne die openbare bestuurder optree, vereis die bestuur van die organisasiekultuur. Openbare bestuurders behoort 'n bewuswording in die organisasie rakende die organisasiekultuur te skep en tot die besef kom dat die organisatoriese, kulturele en strategiese veranderingsprosesse bestuur moet word ten einde gestelde doelwitte te bereik. ENGLISH: The South African government has a responsibility in the rendering of essential services to satisfy certain needs of the community. Public managers employed by the South African civil service ought to possess specific abilities and qualities to manage the civil service effectively in a rapidly changing environment. It is the responsibility of each public manager to manage the allocated organizational unit under his authority. Public managers may not conduct the administrative and public management activities in a random way. The normative guidelines of honouring the political supremacy, public accountability and responsibility, application of the administrative law, honouring community values, upholding high ethical norms, as well as social equality and justice should continuously be maintained by the public manager. The objective of this paper is to determine the role of the public manager in developing an organizational culture. The meaning of the word “organization”, “organizational development” and “organizational culture” has a direct influence on the objective of this paper and therefore these words have been clearly defined and explained. The civil service is dynamic and the departments are subjedt to change. This leads to re-organization, which in turn will influence the organizational culture. Organizations can not be reformed in a similar manner, and therefore, cultures vary among different organizations. Groups with strong subcultures may develop within the existing organizational culture and the public manager should utilize these subcultures to the advantage of the organization by establishing, for example, healthy competition among these groups. A “best” technique to manage an organizational culture does not exist, and each public manager should select a technique or combination of techniques appropriate to the specific situation. Public managers should convey a positive attitude towards the organizational culture and towards his/her subordinates. The public manager in the South African civil service functions in a milieu that holds many challenges. Environmental factors in the civil service constantly change, and changes in the political, social, economic and technological environments influence the organizational culture and has to be managed in such a way that it is advantageous to the organization and society. The changing environment, in which the South African Public Service operates, demands the management of an organizational culture. Public managers should develop a cultural awareness and realize that organizational, cultural and strategic change processes should be managed in order to reach the set objectives.Dissertation (MA (Public Administration))--University of Pretoria, 2006.

Abstract:
A revista Atlântico foi parte integrante de um projeto maior açambarcado por Portugal e Brasil no começo da década de 1940. Para sermos mais precisos, 1941 é o ano da assinatura do acordo cultural luso-brasileiro que resultou, dentre outros elementos, na idealização de um projeto cujo cerne assenta-se na criação de uma revista de cultura e arte. Desse processo, surge Atlântico, revista que deve seu nome ao intento de encontrar uma palavra suficientemente elástica, ondulante, para sintetizar o vago e o concreto das nossas aspirações, o sonho e a realidade do nosso ideal, segundo as palavras de um dos seus diretores, António Ferro. Fundada em 1942, a revista Atlântico tem como propugnadores o diretor do Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional (SPN) de Portugal, António Ferro, e o diretor do Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP), Lourival Fontes. A presente pesquisa, que abrange o período de 1941 (ano da assinatura do Acordo Cultural luso-brasileiro) a 1945 (que marca tanto o fim da vigência do DIP quanto o término da primeira fase de Atlântico), pretende discutir a idéia defendida por seus articulistas de que a natureza da revista Atlântico, isto é, por ser um periódico de cultura, de literatura e de arte, abstêm-se de tratar dos problemas sociais, políticos ou econômicos do mundo moderno, até quando dizem respeito à vida do Brasil ou de Portugal. Ademais, pelo fato de congregar um feixe de intelectuais bastante diversificado, a análise sistemática da revista Atlântico objetiva avaliar e compreender a maneira pela qual autores e obras aparecem no corpo da publicação.The Atlântico magazine was part of a larger project encompassed by Portugal and Brazil in the early 1940s. More precisely, in 1941 is signed the Luso-Brazilian culture agreement that resulted, among other elements, in the idealization of a project based on creating a magazine of culture and art. From this process arises Atlântico magazine, which owes its name to the attempt of finding a word sufficiently elastic, undulating to synthesize the vague and concrete of our aspirations, dreams and the reality of our vision, in the words of one of its directors António Ferro. Founded in 1942, the Atlântico magazine has had as proponents, António Ferro, the director of Secretariado da Propaganda Nacional (SPN) (Director of the Bureau of Propaganda Nacional) of Portugal and the director of the brazilian Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP) (Department of Press and Propaganda), Lourival Fontes. This article, which covers the period from 1941 (year of the signing of the Cultural Luso-Brazilian) to 1945 (which marks both the end of the term of the DIP and the end of the first phase of the Atlântico), aims to discuss the idea defended by its writers that the nature of the Atlântico magazine is to be a journal of culture, literature and art, avoiding dealing with social problems, political or economic in the modern world, even when they concern to life in Brazil or Portugal. Moreover, the fact of bringing a bundle of intellectual rather diverse, systematic analysis of the Atlântico magazine aims to evaluate and understand the way in which authors and works appearing in the body of the publication.

Abstract:
Independent music is a complex concept. It has meant different things at different historical moments of popular music and within academic, music press and industry discourses. Even though what independent music refers to might not be substantive, it has tended to signify an oppositional ethos comprising practices related to maintaining distinction from commercialised popular music. This study is about exploring how contemporary independent musicians practice independence within the Central Sydney independent music scene. A socio-cultural formation of like-minded, largely middle-class musicians and enthusiasts involved with independent music currently exists within the geographical region of Central Sydney. Exploration of this local phenomenon necessitates inquiring about the contemporary state of this scene, including how and why it takes the form that it does, and how might independence take particular forms. To respond to such issues, semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals of the ages of 18 and above who are involved with the scene, supplemented with participant observation at live gigs and relevant textual research were conducted in between 2017 and 2019. Additionally, online social media profiles of influential artists and institutions integral to this scene were analysed. The study finds that accumulated economic resources, musical literacies, social networks, and experience associated with long-term and recurrent involvement with music-related work are crucial factors in the ways participants fashion cultural practices based around aesthetic independence. Members of this scene position themselves through particular configurations of resources, strategies and economic exchanges, which allow them to both construct their living and practice aesthetic independence through passion projects of creative experimentations within a sustainable milieu in ways that would be difficult while following imperatives of mainstream music markets.

Borchi, Alice. "Culture and economic crisis : cultural value in Italy from 2008 to the present day." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2017. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/108584/.
Abstract:
This doctoral work is based on analysis of the discourse on cultural value in contemporary Italy, what are the 'grand narratives' that characterize this discourse and what is the relationship between them. In particular, great relevance is given to the concepts of “neoliberalism” and “commons”. The application of these two economical terms to the field of culture is particularly relevant in the Italian discourse: in 2011, Italy saw the rise of protest groups made of professionals from the arts sector who opposed practices influenced by the theories on the commons to the implementation of neoliberal-inspired policies. In fact, since the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the discontent of the Italian population with the implementation of austerity policies and the lack of political and economic stability caused an uprising involvement in political activism. The cultural sector, in particular, was facing a lack of state funding; in addition, many young professionals had been struggling to find a paid job, especially in the theatre sector. The dissatisfaction of the emergent creative class led to a series of demonstrations and campaigns that asked for the recognition of the rights of arts workers. Many abandoned buildings, especially former theatres, were occupied and became spaces dedicated to artistic and political experimentation. Two of these organisations are discussed in the case studies: Teatro Valle Occupato, in Rome, and Rebeldía, in Pisa. The idea of cultural value promoted by these organisations is analysed in relation to the one reflected by Italian cultural policy after 2008. This thesis shows not only how cultural value is shaped by economic factors such as austerity, but also how it represents a battleground where different ways of understanding politics and policy clash, mingle and sometimes overlap. Furthermore, it shows that activist forms of arts management can develop their own pathways to innovation, filling a vacuum left by cultural policy.

Abstract:
Participatory approaches to cultural decision-making are increasingly supported in the international and European discourses as means to foster cultural development, promoting capacity building, legitimacy, and social capital. However, their beneficial effects are both empirically contradictory and theoretically under-investigated.
With the aim of providing an evidence-based account of the function of participatory decision-making in culture, this thesis analyses how, why, and under which circumstances participatory governance impacted on cultural development in four projects promoted in the two European Capitals of Culture of 2013 - Marseille-Provence (France) and Košice (Slovakia) –under the umbrella of the “City and Citizens” criterion.
The thesis combines the theoretical assumptions of the “expansive” theories of democracy (Warren, 1992) with the “pragmatic conception” proposed by Fung (2007) and adopts the methodological tools offered by the theory-testing variant of process tracing. Hence, it advances an analytical framework of causal mechanisms able to explain how and why the impacts of participatory governance of culture can change within different contextual conditions.
This work defines cultural development as a long-term process that includes cultural production and reception and is sustained by a network of cultural relations. In addition, it conceptualizes participatory governance as a three-dimensional institutional space (including representation, communication, and power delegation) that can trigger developmental dynamics thanks to consensus-oriented face-to-face dialogue among a variety of cultural stakeholders.
Referring to the empirical evidence collected in the four case studies, the thesis argues that the impacts of participatory governance on cultural development depend on the intensity of trust that is reached among the actors involved in the process.
In presence of fully-fledged trust, as showed in the project PARCeque (Marseille) and in the Exchanger Obrody (Košice), participatory governance can lead to cultural development, activating a reinforcing chain of capacities, legitimacy, and social capital that nurture cultural relations in the long-term. On the contrary, in absence of fully-fledged trust (i.e. mistrust and “calculus-based” trust), as proved by the project Jardins Possibles (Marseille) and the Exchanger Važecká (Košice), participatory governance of culture can exacerbate feelings of manipulation or group dynamics, fostering contestation movements or isolated cultural production.

Previous issue date: 2012-02-27This research aims to identify the process of appropriation of audio visual (in digital video) for collective symbolic production (participatory video practice that expresses popular culture) in a socio-cultural context where the minorities are. Therefore, we based this study on the students‟ experience of the film and video workshops held by Cinema para Todos (Culture Point Cine for All), in Natal, RN. Culture Point is the basis of the project Programa Nacional de Cultura, Educa??o e Cidadania Cultura Viva (National Program of Culture, Education and Citizenship - Living Culture) of the Brazilian Ministry of Culture. In 2010, the Cine for All developed three film and video workshops in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (Northeastern of Brazil), in the municipalities of A?u, Lajes and S?o Gon?alo do Amarante, within a public policy project of socio-cultural inclusion. These three workshops are the focus of this empirical investigation. To support the analysis of this research we consider that the spaces of workshops are sites of the social practices origin, assuming they show the development of the changes of actions that generate new practices. In this socio-cultural context the students as interlocutors process the communicative culture mediation, where come from the logics of action (using digital video) to become a mediatic practice (video auto ethnographic). With the overall goal set and the field of investigative action delimited we considered the methodology of case study suitable for the observation of the object, because it is a phenomenon of modernity, occurring in a context of real life and with little or no control over events. Participant observation and interviews was also applied to this case study. The analytical theoretical support comes from the notion of mediation by Jes?s Mart?n-Barbero and the concept of habitus by Pierre Bourdieu. The research found that a new way of communicating has been developing by this social group, and this reflects the technological change experienced by them. The auto ethnographic videos, short movies, reveal an allegorical trial of the mainstream media, because while they use the mainstream format, they rework the aesthetic, but without revising the history, in fact they proposing to retell the history of themselves full of colorful details and with richness of their forgotten popular culture.
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar o processo de apropria??o do recurso audiovisual (v?deo digital) para a produ??o coletiva simb?lica (pr?tica videogr?fica participativa que expressa a cultura popular) num contexto sociocultural onde est?o as minorias. Para tanto, baseamos este estudo na experi?ncia dos integrantes das oficinas de forma??o em cinema e v?deo ministradas pelo Ponto de Cultura Cinema para Todos, localizado em Natal, RN. Ponto de Cultura (PC) ? o projeto estruturante do Programa Nacional de Cultura, Educa??o e Cidadania Cultura Viva do Minist?rio da (MinC). Em 2010, o PC Cinema para Todos desenvolveu tr?s oficinas cinema v?deo nos munic?pios norte-rio-grandenses A?u, Lajes e S?o Gon?alo do Amarante, dentro de um projeto de pol?tica p?blica de inclus?o sociocultural. Estas tr?s oficinas comp?em o recorte emp?rico desta investiga??o. Para fundamentar a an?lise deste estudo investigativo consideramos que os espa?os das oficinas s?o locais de pr?ticas sociais embrion?rias, pressupondo-se que sejam reveladores do desenvolvimento das modifica??es das a??es que geram novas pr?ticas. Nesse contexto sociocultural, os agentes comunit?rios assumem o papel de interlocutores e processam as media??es comunicativas da cultura onde as l?gicas de produ??o passam da a??o (uso do v?deo digital) para a pr?tica cultural midi?tica (v?deo auto etnogr?fico). A estrat?gia metodol?gica de estudo de caso foi considerada adequada para a observa??o do objeto, por se tratar de um fen?meno da contemporaneidade, estar inserido em um contexto da vida real e proporcionar pouco ou nenhum controle sobre os eventos. A observa??o participante e a entrevista tamb?m se aliaram ao estudo de caso. Contribu?ram para o suporte te?rico anal?tico desta investiga??o a no??o de media??o formulada por Jes?s Mart?n-Barbero e o conceito de habitus de Pierre Bourdieu. Foi poss?vel identificar que a nova forma de comunicar reflete a mudan?a tecnol?gica cultural vivenciada pelo grupo social. Os v?deos auto etnogr?ficos revelam uma experimenta??o aleg?rica da m?dia hegem?nica, pois ao mesmo tempo em que se apropriam da linguagem, reelaboram a est?tica, sem revisar a hist?ria, mas se propondo a recont?-la com detalhes pitorescos e esquecidos da cultura popular.

In Awakening the economy through design innovation. Department of Integrated Design, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.31705/idr.2023.2.
Abstract:
Through the process of cultural hybridization form a unique identity by mixing elements from interaction of cultures which has occurred throughout the world since the past. Representation of this identity can be understood with the dressing styles of cultures. With the influence of foreign cultures by the exposure throughout history, Sri Lankan culture has formed a unique identity with the hybridization process. The beginning of colonialism with Portuguese intervention and European culture marked a pivotal point in Sri Lanka's cultural identity, which lasted to the present. This study is conducted with the association of hybrid community Portuguese burghers located in Batticaloa and their traditional practices that developed as a result of cultural interaction that occurred during the Portuguese era in the eastern coastal area that has been identified as a cultural exchange zone using the hybrid component identification methodology suggested by Historian Peter Burke in order to analyze the process of hybridity formation and the reasoning behind the cultural identity formation. The study will primarily focus on female dressing associated with the community's Marriage ceremony traditions to understand the dressing and cultural identity formation with hybridization through data gathering methods such as interviews, literature, and visual observation of documents. In order to formulate a conclusion for the research, the study examines the history, traditional practices, cultural influences, and current condition, as well as the discussion of findings. Through a careful analysis of historical context and utilizing the hybridity research method, it was evident that the formation of a unique Sri Lankan cultural identity involved intentional reasoning from the perspective of the Portuguese and oppression and intentionality from the Sri Lankan perspective. This hybrid identity, embracing elements from both Portuguese and Sri Lankan cultures, culminated in the emergence of the Burgher community. However, in the present day, this community faces challenges of counter-globalization and external cultural pressures, pushing them to assert their identity within society. Researchers can expand on the study of cultural hybridity and identity formation through dressing, with a focus on Portuguese intervention. They have the opportunity to investigate the dance practices of the Portuguese Burghers and the African-influenced Kaffir community using the same framework. Alternatively, they can explore other cultures' influence on Sri Lankan culture, utilizing this research's framework to gain deeper insights into the process of cultural hybridization and its impact on identity formation.

Abstract:
Online learning programs have become more accessible to a wide range of learners all over the world. This raises the question whether differences between various groups are taken into consideration in the design of these programs. While new devices and technologies make learning more readily available, ignoring cultural issues can lead to a total breakdown of communication. This study aims to investigate how issues of culture should influence instructional design of online courses. Globalization of education led to a need to consider cultural diversity as an important factor in the adoption and effectiveness of learning. This is enhanced by the fact that e-learning breaks time and space barriers, being available to students from any geographical area, interacting outside the boundaries of a common context. Learners have the opportunity to study anytime, anywhere. Universities are becoming more open to international students; some are setting branch campuses in different parts of the world. Multinational organizations have offices in different countries, staffed with local employees, who need to work in a similar way with their colleagues all over the world. Interdisciplinary teams are required to work together and find a common language. In all cases, instructional designers are creating courses for people from a different culture than their own, and often for heterogeneous audiences coming from a multitude of cultures, each student needing to transfer what they learn into their own context. The paper defines culture, starting from Hofstede’s five dimensions characterizing national cultures (Hofstede, 1996), and argues that in the context of online learning the notion of culture should be extended to include other cultural models, apart from the national one, such as organizational culture and professional groups culture (Schein, 1990). Acknowledging that culture means more than nationality, and individuals often belong to more than one culture (Collis, 1999) helps paint a complex situation which the instructional designer must deal with. Given the complexity of the context presented above, the present study investigates how do models of instructional design take into account cultural diversity, by answering the following research questions: • Should instructional design take into account cultural aspects at all? • Should instructional design strive for a culture-free product? • How can the instructional design model incorporate awareness of cultural issues? • What are the implications for instructional designers and their professional development? A fairly wide range of responses and models are suggested by the literature (and are detailed in the full paper), but the responsibility of choosing and applying them lies with the instructional designer. Since culture is a relatively new concern in the field of instructional design, few of these models were applied in contexts significant enough in order to generate solid recommendations or to indicate an obvious choice. This situation makes the decision of instructional designers even more difficult. The voices of instructional designers are also presented, combining the results of the study did by Rogers, Graham and Mayes (2007) into instructional designers creating courses for students from various national cultures, with the results of a case study research conducted by the author regarding instructional designers working for learners from various organizational and professional cultures. Recommendations into further research connected to the issues identified conclude the paper.

Abstract:
Cultural systems are grouped into high culture, folk culture and popular culture. High cultural, scientific, philosophical, aesthetic information, etc. Folk culture is based on folklore information from the past day. Popular culture represents the degraded and dissolved state of traditional cultures, various subculture areas, which have failed after modernization efforts.
The aim of the study is to reveal the influence of young musical genres on the entrepreneurial tendencies. The first method used in the research is the questionnaire survey for senior students studying in the university business and economics.
According to the survey data, questionnaires were distributed out of a total of 350 students, only to the evaluation of the survey of 311 eligible. The most important findings of the research can be summarized as follows. While 6,1% of the "youth of higher education" who participated in the survey preferred "high culture product" music; 10,6% were "folk culture products" music; and 83,3% preferred "popular culture product" music.
The "entrepreneurship tendencies", which are the main aim of the subjects of "education for young people" receiving basic courses in economics and business administration, were found to be 131,5 (Min 36, Max.180). According to the research findings, in the direction of the basic assumption of the study, "entrepreneurial tendencies" of students who prefer music, which is a high cultural product, are higher than others. The sort of "entrepreneurial tendencies" is followed by popular genres and popular music genres.

Abstract:
Heparin binds to smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. It inhibits the proliferation of the smooth muscle cells and modulates the growth of endothelial cells. Fibroblasts which represent an other cell type belonging to the vascular wall could also have their growth modified by heparin. We have at first, demonstrated that 125I unfractionated heparin bigds to cultured human skin fibroblasts with a Kd of 1.16 10 M.A low molecular weight heparin fraction (PK 10169) competed (50 %)with I unfractionated heparin, but at aless extent than cold unfractionated heparin(90%).As it has been reported with endothelial and smooth muscle cells, about 30% of the bound unfractionated heparin was internalized bythe fibroblasts. Heparin alone at the concentration ranges from 0 to 10-5M has no effect on fibroblast proliferation measured by the H thymidine uptake. When the cellproliferation was induced by pure PDGF, heparin potentiated markedly the fibroblast growth.The effgct started at 10-8 M heparinand reached a plateau from 10-6 M to 10-5 M. Similar stimulationwas observed when the growth was induced by FGF or EGF. Low molecular weight heparin enhanced the fibroblast proliferation induced by PDGF but at a less extent than unfractionated heparin, chondroltin sulfate has no effect. When added during the cell culture growth withhuman serum (5%), unfractionated heparin increased by 48 the cell proliferation as measured bycell counting at the 6th day of the culture. PDGF did not modify the heparin binding on fibroblast cultures either at 4°C or 37°C and did not alter the process of heparin internalization. JDGF binding to the cultured fibroblast (Kd 10.1 ± 3.4 10-10 M)was not modified by the presence of heparin when studied at 4°C.In conclusion : i) cultured human fibroblasts bind and internalize heparin, ii) heparinand heparin fraction stimulate the fibroblastgrowth induced by PDGF, iii) since the binding of PDGF is not modified by bound heparin, the mechanism of stimulation remains unknown.

Abstract:
The present paper aims to discuss the relationship between culture and urban development, regarding the cityof Porto as a case study. Considering its recent and irregular history of culture promotion, which has importantreferences since the acknowledgement of the Historic Centre as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 1996, thearticle explores political agendas, projects, and achievements, which place culture as strategic for urbandevelopment. From that moment to the present day, Porto has experienced three styles of governance, withdirect effects on the treatment given to the municipality's cultural and heritage policy. The article, therefore,analyses the relationship of the mentioned policies with urban policy, from the variation of discourses andpractices of municipal policy. Keywords: Porto, culture, urban development, municipal policy. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a relação entre cultura e desenvolvimento urbano, tendo acidade do Porto como estudo de caso. Considerando a sua história recente e irregular de promoção da cultura,que conta com importantes referenciais desde o reconhecimento do Centro Histórico como Património Mundialda UNESCO, em 1996, o artigo explora agendas políticas, projetos e realizações, que situem a cultura comodimensão estratégica para o desenvolvimento urbano. De 1996 até à atualidade, o Porto passou por três estilosde governação, com reflexos diretos na política cultural e patrimonial do município. O artigo analisa a relaçãodas citadas políticas com a política urbana, a partir da variação dos discursos e dos modos de fazer da políticamunicipal. Palavras-chaves: Porto, cultura, desenvolvimento urbano, política municipal.

Abstract:
Design education exists at the cross-disciplinary intersection of sociology, cognitive psychology, technology and material history. In India, as in many other countries which have experienced colonisation, the wave of decolonisation demands questioning the normative ways of knowing, doing and being. The idea of decolonisation is reflected upon as peeling off the layers of dogmas created by other cultures on existing ones. In the wake of decolonisation, there is a rising concern for plural and multicultural societies. The practise of living out day to day varies across the cultures and often ends up alienating or excluding multiplicity of voices. In today's context digital disruption, with added layers of social media, the concept of ‘self’ and the ‘other’, the idea of ‘identity’ has become a complex phenomenon equated with cultural studies. The case study shared through this paper is carried out with students of first year at NID Haryana, in their first year first semester of undergraduate programme, Bachelor in Design. Facilitating a course on Indian Society and Culture for design students, posed a pedagogical challenge to bring together diverse and eclectic approaches while training the students to deepen their understanding of their own subjective positions and exploring cultural narratives in which their design ought to function. The findings and discussion points are an outcome of the assignment attempted by the student during the module inputs ‘Approaches to Indian Culture’, structured using autoethnography research framework. The said assignment was introduced in the context of online education due to Covid -19 where students were encouraged to pay attention to their immediate home environment as a living cultural repository. The day-to-day cultural resources available to us often become invisibilised, in favour of tangible predefined ones like those of museums or tangible objects. The students were encouraged to look at being part of the cultural context, but still retain a distance from which they could question, interrogate and challenge some of the normative assumptions that come as part of belonging to the said cultural context. The paper discusses the need to become aware and situate oneself as a designer in the cultural context that has shaped his/her/their identity and intrinsic motivations. The aspirant designer was subjected to become aware of his/her vulnerable position in the light of his newly acknowledged socio-cultural context through the means of mapping cultural changes in his family over last three generations. This has been instrumental in initiating a journey to engage with cultural change with sensitivity, appreciate and become aware of the role of oneself in making conscious choices. Through this paper, we would like to investigate this process of decolonising the identity of the designer. The paper expands on complexity of aspects mapped by the students, their reflections and probes further on methods, approach that ought to be adopted in the process of decolonising the designer.

Abstract:
Since 2005 as a researcher, and since the early 1990s as an organiser who worked in Pretoria as South Africa transitioned towards democracy, Brett Pyper has had the privilege of knowing a community of practice that occupies a distinct, under- recognised position in the country’s internationally famous jazz culture. Known variously as jazz appreciation societies, social clubs or stokvels (mutual aid associations), these township-based collectives played no small part, during the long night of apartheid, in preserving and developing the vibrant, cosmopolitan African cultures that were suppressed and dispersed under racial and ethnic segregation policies. They did so in spite of restrictions on public gatherings, and in communities with hardly any civic or cultural amenities. After the formal end of apartheid and the lifting of cultural boycotts in the 1990s, the country’s reintegration into circuits of international cultural exchange resulted in the establishment of several globally benchmarked festivals. Meanwhile, these community-based jazz societies underwent their own efflorescence, though in relative isolation from the festivals that take place in downtown convention centres for a globally mobile, relatively elite clientele. These developments emblematise the promise as well as the limitations of the post-apartheid transition: while the existence of platforms for international jazz luminaries serves as a powerful symbol of change and a vehicle for the assertion of transnational cultural and political ties, the audience for jazz music in South Africa remains largely excluded from participating in these celebrations of avowedly post-apartheid culture.

In ASME 2011 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. ASMEDC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2011-64845.
Abstract:
This paper describes effects of mechanical vibration on osteoblasts. Their cell proliferation was investigated when sinusoidal inertia force was applied to the cells. After the cells were cultured in culture plates in a CO2 incubator for one day and adhered on the cultured plane, vibration group of the culture plates was set on an aluminum plate attached to a exciter and cultured under sinusoidal excitation of 0.5 G and 12.5 Hz for 24 hours a day in another incubator separated from non-vibration group during 21 days of culture. The time evolution of cell density was obtained by counting the number of cells with a hemocytometer. The phase contrast microscopic images and the cross-sectional confocal microscopic images of cells were captured under an inverted microscope system. As a result, it is found that the mechanical vibration elongated the pseudopods of cells to enhance their mobility resulting in promoting multilayer of the cells.

Abstract:
This paper describes effects of mechanical vibration on osteoblasts. Their bone mass generation was investigated when sinusoidal inertia force was applied to the cells. After the cells were cultured in culture plates in a CO2 incubator for one day and adhered on the cultured plane, vibration group of the culture plate was set on an aluminum plate attached to a exciter and cultured under sinusoidal excitation of 0.5 G and 25 Hz for 24 hours a day in another incubator separated from non-vibration group during 28 days of culture. Gene expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was measured by a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. ALP activity was measured by Azo-dye method. Calcium salts generated by the cells were observed by being stained with alizarin red S solution. As a result, it is found that the mechanical vibration accelerates the gene expression and protein generation of ALP, and the calcium salt generation.

Thunø, Mette, and Jan Ifversen. Global Leadership Teams and Cultural Diversity: Exploring how perceptions of culture influence the dynamics of global teams. Aarhus University, October 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.7146/aul.273.
Abstract:
In the 21st century, business engagements are becoming increasingly global, and global teams are now an established form of organising work in multinational organisations. As a result, managing cultural diver-sity within a global team has become an essential part of ensuring motivation, creativity, innovation and efficiency in today’s business world.Global teams are typically composed of a diversity of experiences, frames of references, competencies, information and, not least, cultural backgrounds. As such, they hold a unique potential for delivering high performance in terms of innovative and creative approaches to global management tasks; however, in-stead of focusing on the potentials of cultural diversity, practitioners and studies of global teams tend to approach cultural diversity as a barrier to team success. This study explores some of the barriers that cultural diversity poses but also discusses its potential to leverage high performance in a global context.Our study highlights the importance of how team leaders and team members perceive ‘culture’ as both a concept and a social practice. We take issue with a notion of culture as a relatively fixed and homogeneous set of values, norms and attitudes shared by people of national communities; it is such a notion of culture that tends to underlie understandings that highlight the irreconcilability of cultural differences.Applying a more dynamic and context-dependent approach to culture as a meaning system that people negotiate and use to interpret the world, this study explores how global leadership teams can best reap the benefits of cultural diversity in relation to specific challenging areas of intercultural team work, such as leadership style, decision making, relationship building, strategy process, and communication styles. Based on a close textual interpretation of 31 semi-structured interviews with members of global leader-ship teams in eight Danish-owned global companies, our study identified different discourses and per-ceptions of culture and cultural diversity. For leaders of the global leadership teams (Danish/European) and other European team members, three understandings of cultural diversity in their global teams were prominent:1)Cultural diversity was not an issue2)Cultural diversity was acknowledged as mainly a liability. Diversities were expressed through adifference in national cultures and could typically be subsumed under a relatively fixed numberof invariable and distinct characteristics.3)Cultural diversity was an asset and expressions of culture had to be observed in the situationand could not simply be derived from prior understandings of cultural differences.A clear result of our study was that those leaders of global teams who drew on discourses of the Asian ‘Other’ adherred to the first two understandings of cultural diversity and preferred leadership styles that were either patriarchal or self-defined as ‘Scandinavian’. Whereas those leaders who drew on discourses of culture as dynamic and negotiated social practices adhered to the third understanding of cultural di-versity and preferred a differentiated and analytical approach to leading their teams.We also focused on the perceptions of team members with a background in the country in which the global teams were co-located. These ‘local’ team members expressed a nuanced and multifaceted perspective on their own cultural background, the national culture of the company, and their own position within the team, which enabled them to easily navigate between essentialist perceptions of culture while maintain-ing a critical stance on the existing cultural hegemonies. They recognised the value of their local knowledge and language proficiency, but, for those local members in teams with a negative or essentialist view of cultural diversity, it was difficult to obtain recognition of their cultural styles and specific, non-local competences. 3Our study suggeststhat the way global team members perceive culture, based on dominant societal dis-courses of culture, significantly affects the understandings of roles and positions in global leadership teams. We found that discourses on culture were used to explain differences and similarities between team members, which profoundly affected the social practicesand dynamics of the global team. We con-clude that only global teams with team leaders who are highly aware of the multiple perspectives at play in different contexts within the team hold the capacity to be alert to cultural diversity and to demonstrate agility in leveraging differences and similarities into inclusive and dynamic team practices.

Abstract:
Caribana is a celebration of Caribbean culture heavily based on pre-Lenten Carnival traditions in Trinidad and Tobago. It takes place on Simcoe Day which is the first weekend in August, marking the abolition of slavery in Upper Canada. The first Caribana festival began in 1967 as part of an effort to celebrate Caribbean culture in the city of Toronto. Playin' Mas, Play and Mas is a pedagogical project that explores how to create a photo essay using Scalar and centres on the experiences of children during Caribana in the 1970s through the photographs of Kenn Shah.

Abstract:
Like other bird and mammal species whose populations have been restored through conservation efforts, wild turkeys are treasured by many recreationists and outdoor enthusiasts. Wild turkeys have responded positively to wildlife habitat and population management. In some areas, however, their increased populations have led to increased damage to property and agricultural crops, and threats to human health and safety. Turkeys frequent agricultural fields, pastures, vineyards and orchards, as well as some urban and suburban neighborhoods. Because of this, they may cause damage or mistakenly be blamed for damage. Research has found that despite increases in turkey numbers and complaints, damage is often caused by other mammalian or bird species, not turkeys. In the instances where turkeys did cause damage, it was to specialty crops, vineyards, orchards, hay bales or silage pits during the winter. In cultured crops or gardens where wood chips, pine straw or other bedding materials (mulch) are placed around plants, wild turkeys sometimes scratch or dig up the material and damage plants when searching for food. Wild turkeys are a valuable game species, treasured by recreational hunters and wildlife enthusiasts.

The use of aquaculture effluents in spray culture for the production of high protein macroalgae for shrimp aqua-feeds. United States Department of Agriculture, January 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2013.7597934.bard.
Abstract:
The FAO has projected a doubling in world demand for seafood during the 21 ed from aquaculture of marine fish and shrimps fed primarily on fishmeal-based aquafeeds. However, current practices of high intensity monoculture of shrimp in coastal ponds and fish in offshore pens have been strongly criticized as being ecologically and socially unsustainable. This view derives from un- checked eutrophication of coastal marine ecosystems from fish farm effluents, and the destruction of coastal estuarine ecosystems by shrimp farm constructions, plus aquaculture’s reliance on wild-caught small fish - which are excellent food for humans, but instead are rendered into fishmeal and fish oil for formulating aquafeeds. Fishmeal-sparing and waste- reduction aquafeeds can only delay the time when fed aquaculture product are priced out of affordability for most consumers. Additionally, replacement of fishmeal protein and fish oil by terrestrial plant sources such as soybean meal and oil directly raises food costs for human communities in developing nations. New formulations incorporating sustainably-produced marine algal proteins and oils are growing in acceptance as viable and practical alternatives. This BARD collaborative research project investigated a sustainable water-sparing spray/drip culture method for producing high-protein marine macrophyte meals for incorporation into marine shrimp and fish diets. The spray culture work was conducted at laboratory-scale in the USA (UCSD-SIO) using selected Gracilariaand Ulvastrains isolated and supplied by UCONN, and outdoors at pilot-scale in Israel (IOLR-NCM) using local strains of Ulvasp., and nitrogen/phosphorus-enriched fish farm effluent to fertilize the spray cultures and produce seaweed biomass and meals containing up to 27% raw protein (dry weight content). Auburn University (USA) in consultation with TAMUS (USA) used the IOLR meals to formulate diets and conduct marine shrimp feeding trials, which resulted in mixed outcomes, indicating further work was needed to chemically identify and remove anti-nutritional elements present in the IOLR-produced seaweed meals.

Abstract:
Protein has a singularly prominent place in discussions about food. It symbolises fitness, strength and masculinity, motherhood and care. It is the preferred macronutrient of affluence and education, the mark of a conscientious diet in wealthy countries and of wealth and success elsewhere. Through its association with livestock it stands for pastoral beauty and tradition. It is the high-tech food of science fiction, and in discussions of changing agricultural systems it is the pivotal nutrient around which good and bad futures revolve. There is no denying that we need protein and that engaging with how we produce and consume it is a crucial part of our response to the environmental crises. But discussions of these issues are affected by their cultural context—shaped by the power of protein. Given this, we argue that it is vital to map that cultural power and understand its origins. This paper explores the history of nutritional science and international development in the Global North with a focus on describing how protein gained its cultural meanings. Starting in the first half of the 19th century and running until the mid-1970s, it covers two previous periods when protein rose to singular prominence in food discourse: in the nutritional science of the late-19th century, and in international development in the post-war era. Many parallels emerge, both between these two eras and in comparison with the present day. We hope that this will help to illuminate where and why the symbolism and story of protein outpace the science—and so feed more nuanced dialogue about the future of food.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Sustainability is both an ethical responsibility and business concern for the aerospace industry. Military and commercial avionics developers have pushed toward a common standard for interfaces, computing platforms, and software in hopes of having “reusability” and reducing weight with backplane computing architectures which, in theory, would support commonality across aircraft systems. The integrated modular avionics (IMA) and military Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) standards are two such examples. They emerged to support common computing architectures for reuse and sustainability concepts, from the beginning of aircraft development to the sundown or mortality phase.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph"><b>Pitfalls of Designing, Developing, and Maintaining Modular Avionics Systems in the Name of Sustainability</b> looks at technological, organizational, and cultural challenges making reuse and IMA platform models difficult to fully realize their sustainability goals.
