Abstract:
Abstract. The final result of the Perczel Project was born after ten years of research at the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics of Eötvös Loránd University by end 2019. The plan was to completely reconstruct Perczel’s giant globe. The globe, dated 1862, was made by László Perczel and it is now kept in the Map Room of the National Széchényi Library. It is a unique manuscript globe with a diameter of 127.5 cm, but its condition was very poor (several serious defects and illegible labels). In addition to the cartographic tasks by the Department, it was necessary to involve graphic designers and object restorers, model makers, a wood restorer, a coppersmith and an engraver; they were all coordinated by the Archiflex Studio. As a result of their collaboration such globes were born which most probably look like the original manuscript product looked almost 160 years ago. The facsimile was made in three copies.Before the Archiflex Studio started to organize the work, the Department created – by processing 800 photographs – a digital virtual 3D facsimile to register the state of the globe. This globe was entered into the Virtual Globes Museum (http://terkeptar.elte.hu/vgm). The original large-resolution photos were also used for making the segments of the digital contentual globe map between 2008 and 2012. This intensive work (with the cooperation of several BSc, MSc and PhD students of cartography) produced a series of digitally recreated segments of the globe map, which were redrawn, recoloured, and registered the legible letters. The digital contentual facsimile was used to prepare the virtual 3D model, which was also placed in the Virtual Globes Museum in 2012.The work on the globe at the Department ceased in 2012–13, but continued in a half-year project in 2019, before the start of the actual physical reconstruction. The project was undertaken by Mátyás Márton, the head of the former Perczel Poject. The work meant that the digital contentual facsimile completed in 2012 had to be further processed: namely, the digital reconstruction of the globe map. Various cartographic challenges had to be solved to accomplish this task:The possible sources had to be identified: those maps and atlases had to be found that Perczel may have used for the preparation of his globe. The collected publications were compared to the easily readable parts of the globe; in this way, it was possible to select those that were probably used. These sources were considered basic sources for further work.The selected sources made it possible to achieve two goals: first, to complete the letters of place names that were partly illegible, and second, to add the graphical elements to those parts of the globe that had been completely destroyed.There was only limited time to carry out the above tasks, and at the same time, we had to serve those who were working on the production of the three facsimile globes under the direction of the artistic director of the project.This paper gives only an outline of the events of the progress of the digital recreation, that is the digital (virtual) contentual facsimile of the globe at the Department in the past more than ten years. It gives details on the cartographic tasks needed before the physical reconstruction. This made it possible to make the digital restoration and digital reconstruction of the globe map as complete as possible. As a result, it also became possible to prepare the virtual 3D model of the content of the reconstructed facsimile globe. In comparison to the state of the globe in 2012, altogether 2,872 graphical elements and 3,252 place name amendments and corrections were made in the project. Hill shading was added or completed on 318 places – mostly on the damaged parts. Further, the content of the badly damaged calendar ring was explored. (The study and reconstruction of the artistic drawing of the signs of the zodiac was done by a designer-graphic artist.) It is a cartographic interest that the points of the compass were written in old-style Hungarian words on the calendar frame (horizon ring), which are not used today.Finally, the authors present the contemporaneous facsimiles in their physical form, which is the result of the project coordinated by the Archiflex Studio (the 3D models can be seen in the VGM). The completion of these facsimiles makes this work of art – known as Perczel’s globe in map history – a common property representing great scientific and cultural value.

Abstract:
The INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project is one of the world's most complex gas developments, incorporating all elements of the production chain. It is three mega projects rolled into one. The offshore project includes the world’s largest semisubmersible central processing facility and a large floating production, storage and offloading facility. An 890 km subsea gas export pipeline joins offshore facilities to a state-of-the-art onshore processing plant near Darwin. Managing more than 30,000 personnel working across the globe to construct this project demands excellence in project management. INPEX’s approach allows seamless interface management and a tight grip on cost and schedule to deliver a complicated, giant project, and 40 years of future field operations.

Abstract:
The due economy of projects is a catchword nowadays in the world. Advancement in project sustainability has reshaped the banking across the globe forcing companies to perform tasks and activities in the form of projects; resilience, stress management are some of the factors that redesign project sustainability. This cross-sectional study investigates the impact of resilience and stress management on project sustainability also making a contribution by analyzing the association of resilience and stress management. The beta values and results show in favor of acceptance of the entire hypothesis. The data was collected from the members of the project team working on a diverse project in the banking sector of Pakistan. The instrument used to collect the data was questionnaires to measure each variable. Pearson correlation and stepwise hierarchal regression were used to analyze the data. The study at the end highlights valuable findings and recommendations for the future and the researchers offer practical guidance further professionalizing Project Management.

Abstract:
Historically, wallcharts and posters created by botanical illustrators, often highly skilled artists, have played an important role in teaching botany at the university level. Large-scale panels and posters can visualize complex interrelationships and entire stories in a clear and appealing overview in graphs, tables, and diagrams. Carrying this concept of educational tools into the electronic era, the Plant Phylogeny Poster project uses this approach for displaying evolutionary relationships in systematic botany. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Poster (APP) displays, as phylogenetically arranged clades, the orders and families of flowering plants (with orders hyperlinked to APweb, Stevens, 2001–onwards), the Tracheophyte Phylogeny Poster (TPP) families and genera of ferns and gymnosperms, and the Bryophyte Phylogeny Poster (BPP) orders and families of liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. The portfolio currently also includes about 30 posters on individual orders and families of angiosperms. Each group within these evolutionary trees is matched with essentially relevant morphological features, biogeographic occurrences, and other information in compactly condensed text blocks. All posters are freely available online, some in more than 30 languages, coauthored by a team of more than 130 botanists. The posters are regularly updated, current literature is cited. The project is expanding steadily and rapidly.

Conkie, Robert Frank. "Shakespeare and authenticity : the Globe Theatre Project." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2001. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.394095.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis analyses and contextualises the performances of Shakespearean and other plays at the reconstructed Globe theatre in London between 1996 and 2000. It contends that these performances raise compelling issues, both for dramatic production and in relation to broader social and cultural concerns because of the Globe's founding commitment to authenticity, which has been expressed most obviously by the meticulous reconstruction of the new Globe building, and through reconstructed authentic performance practices. Further, it is the argument of this thesis that this commitment to authenticity expresses urgent concerns of the new Globe's contemporary placing and role. Thus, the first three chapters of the thesis refer to the actual performances only briefly as various contexts of authenticity are explored. In these chapters the Globe is positioned within debates about historical, personal and individual authenticity, within the discourse of Shakespeare's supposed universalism, and within the concept of 'authentic performance'. Each of these contextual enquiries is tied to a central concern of this thesis, the articulation and constitution of identity and subjectivity. The focal points of the second half of the thesis are the Globe productions and performances themselves. The first of these chapters concentrates on productions of reconstructed authenticity and explores some of the ideological positions encoded in their representations. The remaining two chapters analyse productions that could be described as non-authentic; productions of non-Shakespeare plays, and visiting productions from other countries. An argument is developed (one which is anticipated by the theoretical underpinning of the first half of the thesis) that, in general, the 'authentic' productions are more likely to represent conservative ideologies and to perpetuate hegemonic identity positions. This thesis contributes to the emerging field of studies of Shakespeare in performance by applying a complex web of interdisciplinary perspectives to its consideration of new Globe theatre practice. It analyses many of the productions staged at the new Globe between 1996 and 2000, and evaluates some of the key critical debates as they relate to authentic performance practice.

In this study I analyze the influence of national culture in project performance. Specifically, I examine if national culture influences project performance and which cultural dimensions affect project performance. Methodologically, I conducted an empirical study, based in a final sample of 271 project managers and project occurred in 39 different countries. The results showed that cultural dimensions, power distance and future orientation have a negative impact in project performance, and gender egalitarianism has a positive impact in project performance. This study has a theoretical and practical contribution. This study is intended, for one hand, to contribute to the advance of literature in project management and on the other, help project managers preparing for cultural diversity, increasingly common in the projects.

Abstract:
The Distracted Globe is a project in the writing of poetry. It is an example of research conducted through creative practice and comprises a collection of original poetry, The Silent Book, and an accompanying reflective commentary. Thematically, the poems deal with adolescence, education, the English Language, mental health, death and loss, gender representation, sexuality and polarisation. Significant subject matter includes: the English Language, English Literature, places, in particular Blackpool, London and Nottingham, madness, with specific reference to Bipolar Affective Disorder. The poetry explores the recreation and transformation of literary texts and the manipulation of fairy tale conventions. The poems are a mixture of free verse and traditional forms. The reflective commentary objectively discusses the writing processes and complimentary creative processes involved in the production of The Silent Book and significant developments in the work of the poet. It also contextualises the poetry through reference to the work of other poets, historical and contemporary and to poetic traditions. The potentially conflicting roles of teacher and poet are explored as is the need for a context for poetry, with particular emphasis on audience and purpose. The multimodal nature of poetry in terms of reading and listening audiences and written and spoken modes of production is also considered. As a doctoral project, The Distracted Globe makes an original contribution to the academic fields of Creative Writing and English in Education.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to develop an understanding of if/how national cultural differences influence communication and transmission channels in cross-border transfer of organizational knowledge. To develop such an understanding a single case study has been conducted on Q-Med AB, a Swedish knowledge intensive biotechnology/medical device company. The case study is based on two theories; Gupta & Govindarajan’s (2000) work of four forces that affect effective knowledge transfer and Project GLOBE’s nine cultural dimensions. Our findings confirm that national cultural differences do influence communication and transmission channels when transferring knowledge cross-borders. More specifically, our case study shows that the cultural differences influencing Q-Med AB’s communication and transmission channels are: Power Distance, Institutional Collectivism, In-Group Collectivism, Assertiveness and Performance Orientation. Also language differences are regarded as an important factor by Q-Med AB. However, the results of this thesis are specific for the company studied. Therefore our study only contributes with insights, regarding the influence of cultural differences on communication and transmission channels when transferring knowledge cross-borders, for other knowledge intensive companies facing global challenges. Our findings and conclusions are summarized in our own theoretical model, which brings together the two internationally well-acknowledged theories mentioned above and the results of our case study.


Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en förståelse för om/hur nationella kulturella skillnader påverkar kommunikation och överföringskanaler i gränsöverskridande organisatorisk kunskaps-överföring. För att skapa denna förståelse har vi genomfört en fallstudie på Q-Med AB, ett svenskt kunskapsintensivt bioteknologiskt/medicintekniskt företag. Fallstudien baseras på två teorier; Gupta & Govindarajan:s (2000) studie om fyra faktorer som påverkar effektiv kunskapsöverföring och Project GLOBE:s nio kulturella dimensioner. Våra resultat bekräftar att nationella kulturella skillnader i hög grad påverkar kommunikation och överföringskanaler vid gränsöverskridande kunskapsöverföring. Mer specifikt visar vår fallstudie att de kulturella skillnader som påverkar Q-Med AB:s kommunikation och överföringskanaler är: Power Distance, Institutional Collectivism, In-Group Collectivism, Assertiveness och Performance Orientation. Språkliga skillnader anses också vara viktiga enligt Q-Med AB. Dock är resultaten från denna studie specifika för det undersökta företaget. Därmed bidrar vår uppsats endast med insikter om hur kulturella skillnader påverkar kommunikation och överföringskanaler i gränsöverskridande kunskapsöverföring för andra kunskapsintensiva multinationella företag. Våra slutsatser är sammanställda i vår egen teoretiska modell som kombinerar de två ovan nämnda, internationellt erkända teorier och resultaten från vår fallstudie.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
Devido à elevada complexidade reconhecida no processo de criação e desenvolvimento de um negócio empreendedor, são já muitos os estudos que procuram responder à grande questão: o que potencia ou estimula verdadeiramente a ação empreendedora? Sabendo que os comportamentos adotados pelo indivíduo são influenciados ou condicionados pela Cultura Nacional do seu país, seria de antecipar que esta poderá representar um significativo preditor da Atividade Empreendedora (AE). Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar e aferir em que medida ou em que condições a Cultura Nacional influencia os níveis de AE de cada país. Tendo como base o trabalho científico Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) que caracteriza as sociedades tendo em conta 9 Dimensões Culturais, e utilizando os dados relativos à Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) do Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), confirmou-se neste estudo uma relação significativa entre a Cultura Nacional e a AE. Culturas caracterizadas por: elevada Uncertainty Avoidance (Aversão à Incerteza) e Power Distance (Distância ao Poder), fraco In-group Collectivism (Coletivismo de Grupo) e elevada Performance Orientation (Orientação para a Desempenho) e Humane Orientation (Orientação Humana), potenciam o crescimento da AE. Pretendeu-se também analisar se esta relação significativa se verifica quando a motivação para empreender é justificada pela Necessidade (Necessity-Driven Entrepreneurial Activity). Neste caso, os resultados demonstram que a relação entre as Dimensões Culturais são ainda mais significativas, agregando a relação significativa com mais duas dimensões, elevada Institutional Collectivism (Coletivismo Institucional) e fraca Future Orientation (Orientação para o Futuro).
Due to the high recognized complexity in the process of creation and development of an entrepreneurial business, there are many studies seeking to answer the big question: what truly potentiates or stimulates the entrepreneurial action' Knowing that the behaviors adopted by the individual are influenced or conditioned by its country National Culture, it would be predictable that it can represent a significant predictor of the Entrepreneurial Activity (EA). So, the purpose of this study was to analyze and check in what dimension or in what conditions, the National Culture influences the levels of EA from each country. Based on the scientific work Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE), which characterizes societies base on 9 Cultural Dimensions, and using the data related to the Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), it was confirmed on this study a meaningful relationship between the National Culture and the EA. Cultures characterized by: high Uncertainty Avoidance and Power Distance, weak In-group Collectivism and high Performance Orientation and Humane Orientation, enhance the growth of EA. It was also intended to analyze if this meaningful relationship was confirmed, when the entrepreneurship motivation is justified by the Need (Necessity-Driven Entrepreneurial Activity). In this case, the results show that the relationship between the Cultural Dimensions are even more significant, adding a meaningful relationship with two more cultural dimensions, high Institutional Collectivism and weak Future Orientation.

Although cross-cultural leadership research has thrived in international business literature, little attention has been devoted to understanding the effectiveness of non-western theories beyond their original contexts. The purpose of this study is to examine the cross-cultural endorsement of paternalistic leadership, an emerging non-western leadership theory, using data from GLOBE project. Using multigroup confirmatory factor analyses we found measurement equivalence of a scale derived from GLOBE’s data, which enabled us to compare the endorsement of paternalistic leadership dimensions across 10 cultural clusters and 55 societies. Our study revealed that there are significant differences in the importance societies give to each dimension, suggesting that paternalism as leadership style is not universally nor homogeneously endorsed. Furthermore, results suggest that different patterns of endorsement of each of these dimensions give rise to idiosyncratic shades of paternalistic leadership across societies. Implications for theory and future research on international business are discussed.
Paternalistic leadership is a flourishing area in leadership literature, traditionally assumed to be culture bounded. However, empirical evidences have suggested that rather than national cultures, the conditions under which paternalistic leaders are effective can be related to the fit between the style of a leader and that of his or her followers. In the present research, we focus on paternalistic leadership and contrast it with empowering leadership, as two opposite ways on how leaders influence followers, to explore the individual conditions under which both styles can be effective. Adopting a follower-centered approach, we base our arguments on person-supervisor (P-S) fit theory and regulatory focus theory to propose that leadership effectiveness may be contingent to followers’ own values and motivational needs. We expected paternalistic leadership behaviors (e.g, authority, benevolence, support) to supply motivational needs for predominantly prevention-focused followers, and empowering leadership behaviors (e.g. empowerment, encouragement and autonomy) to supply motivational needs for predominantly promotion-focused followers. Using data collected from two experimental studies and a business simulation, we found support for these ideas, showing that fit increased followers’ perception of attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, such as in-role and creative performance.

Abstract:
The culture demonstrates itself in the shared values, attitudes, beliefs, norms and behaviours of people and it is distinguished from each other by differences in those shared meanings of people interacting. As culture is varied across countries, leadership styles are also varied across countries and are not exercised in the same way across different cultures. They are imported in accordance with the cultural environment in which they are perceived. Therefore, understanding the culture is significant in order to explain preferences of leaders concerning leadership styles. The main purpose of the present dissertation is to provide an overview of the relationship between Turkish culture and the way in which leadership is exercised by Turkish female leaders. The present study is completed in three steps in order to demonstrate that the existing relationship between the Turkish culture and leadership styles of female leaders in Turkey. In the first step, the study examined what culture is, what dimensions of the national culture are, what leadership is and how leadership styles are culturally-linked. In the second step, the paper investigated how female leaders perceive and exercise different leadership styles across different cultures. In the third step, the study researched what cornerstones of Turkish culture and how anticipated leadership styles of Turkish female leaders are shaped by Turkish culture.     The study followed a qualitative research approach based on the grounded theory. Ten female leaders coming from different backgrounds were interviewed in order to draw a holistic picture of the relationship between Turkish cultural values and leadership styles of Turkish female leaders. The findings of the study indicate that the Turkish culture has an influence on leadership styles of Turkish female leaders. According to the results, while Islamic values have no significant impact on leadership behaviours of female leaders, such cultural attributes as collectivism, high power distance, uncertainty avoidance and paternalism have a huge impact on leadership styles of Turkish female leaders.       The research examined only leadership styles of Turkish female leaders. Therefore, this study recommends a future research which will investigate leadership styles of Turkish males in order to understand whether gender has also an effect on leadership styles of Turkish leaders.

Este trabalho é um estudo de caso da revista Época São Paulo, publicação mensal da Editora Globo que circulou entre maio de 2008 e dezembro de 2013, junto à revista Época, semanal. O objetivo é investigar os acertos e erros do título, tanto editoriais quanto comerciais, a fim de explorar os formatos adotados pelas revistas de cidade e formular recomendações práticas para esse gênero de publicação na era dos tablets e smartphones. Neste trabalho, a observação direta, não estruturada, feita por este pesquisador num momento anterior ao início oficial da pesquisa (o autor desta dissertação foi repórter da Época São Paulo entre 2008 e 2010 e seu editor de 2010 a 2012, afastando-se um ano antes do encerramento do título), combina-se com a observação indireta sobre os bastidores da revista (por meio de longas entrevistas com os três diretores que conduziram a redação em períodos sucessivos) e com o estudo das edições publicadas da Época São Paulo e da bibliografia consultada. Entre os temas pesquisados estão jornalismo de revista, jornalismo utilitário, informação local no âmbito da sociedade global, desafios da metrópole como espaço de consumo e também de direitos, autoria e objetividade no exercício do jornalismo, influência da circulação e da periodicidade na construção da relevância e desafios da comunicação no ciberespaço público. Espera-se contribuir para o estudo do jornalismo de revistas no Brasil, em especial para o campo das revistas de cidade.
This monograph is a case study of Época São Paulo magazine, Editora Globo\'s monthly publication which circulated from May 2008 to December 2013, as a supplement of weekly Época magazine. The purpose is to investigate the mistakes and successes of the title, both editorial and commercial, in order to explore the formats adopted by city magazines and formulate practical recommendations for this genre of publications in the age of the tablets and smartphones. In this work, this researcher\'s unstructured direct observation, in a period before the official beginning of the research (the author of this thesis worked as a reporter for Época São Paulo from 2008 to 2010 and as its editor from 2010 to 2012, resigning one year before the end of the title) is combined with the indirect observation about the backstage magazine (through long interviews with the three editors in chief in charge of the newsroom in successive periods) and also the study of the published issues of Época São Paulo and the selected bibliography. Among the researched topics were magazine journalism, utilitarian journalism, local information in the scope of the global society, the challenges of the metropolis as a space of consumption as well as of rights, authorship and objectivity in the practice of journalism, influence of the circulation and periodicity in the construction of relevance, and the challenges of communication in the public cyberspace. It is expected to contribute to the study of magazine journalism in Brazil, especially in the area of the city magazines.

This research aimed to examine the collection of textbooks Tapete Verde in its editorial and graphics aspects, identifying the stages of design and graphic production at Editora Globo, and relate the elements of recurrence in graphic design, information design and reading design in relation to pedagogical aspects. The didactic collection Tapete Verde is made of Integrated Books, Activity Books and Teacher Books, in separate volumes from 1st to 4th grade, was published in the 1970s in Rio Grande do Sul by Editora Globo and its authors are the local teachers of Porto Alegre, Nelly and Teresa Cunha Iara Palmini Fabretti. The textbook can be considered an important source of information about the context in which it was produced, and may reveal aspects of society and of the time by analyzing the market that circulated, editorial production, the pedagogical goals of its visuality and materiality, enabling communication beyond the written content, sensitizing the reader to the visual phenomenon and its informative potential. From graphic design to graphic production of a didactic collection, features established in these steps may be responsible for setting guidelines, interfere with the transmission of content and cause different behaviours in readers, both in students and in teachers, using the books in the classroom. With the studies about textbook and graphic design, the data indicate that the investigated collection can add important considerations in the research fields of history textbooks and education in Rio Grande do Sul, as well as to the printing and publishing history of the region. Furthermore, this work aims to strengthen the incentive for researches about the confluence of conceptual references in the fields of education and design, seeking new contributions by both the historical and current perspectives.
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a coleção de livros didáticos Tapete Verde, em seus aspectos editoriais e gráficos, identificando as etapas de projeto e produção gráfica na Editora Globo, além de relacionar os elementos de recorrência em design gráfico, design da informação e design da leitura em relação aos aspectos pedagógicos. A coleção didática Tapete Verde é composta de Livros Integrados, Cadernos de Atividades e Manuais do Professor, em volumes separados de 1ª a 4ª série, foi publicada na década de 1970 no Rio Grande do Sul pela Editora Globo, tendo como autoras as professoras gaúchas de Porto Alegre, Nelly Cunha e Teresa Iara Palmini Fabretti. O livro didático pode ser considerado uma importante fonte de dados sobre o contexto em que foi produzido, podendo revelar aspectos da sociedade e do tempo através da análise do mercado em que circulou, da produção editorial, dos objetivos pedagógicos, de sua visualidade e materialidade, possibilitando uma comunicação para além do conteúdo escrito, sensibilizando o leitor para o fenômeno visual e o seu potencial informativo. Do projeto gráfico à produção gráfica de uma coleção didática, as características estabelecidas nestas etapas podem ser responsáveis por definir orientações, interferir na veiculação de conteúdo e provocar comportamentos diferenciados nos leitores, tanto nos alunos como nas professoras, ao utilizarem os livros em sala de aula. Com os estudos sobre livro didático e design gráfico, os dados indicam que a coleção investigada pode agregar importantes considerações aos campos de pesquisa na história dos livros didáticos e da educação gaúcha, bem como à história gráfica e editorial da região. Além disso, esse trabalho pretende reforçar o incentivo a pesquisas que consistam na confluência de referências conceituais dos campos da educação e do design, em busca de novas contribuições tanto pelas perspectivas históricas como pelas atuais.

Abstract:
The year 2013 saw the launch of the largest, most influential investment initiative in recent memory: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This globe-spanning strategy has reshaped local economies and regional networks, and it has become a contested subject for scholars and practitioners alike. How should we make sense of the complex interactions that the BRI has enabled? Understanding these processes requires truly global perspectives alongside careful attention to the role that local actors play in giving shape to individual BRI projects. The contributions in Global Perspectives on China's Belt and Road Initiative: Asserting Agency through Regional Connectivity provide both 'big picture' assessments of China's role in regional and global interactions and detailed case studies that home in on the role agency plays in BRI dynamics. Written by leading area studies scholars with diverse disciplinary expertise, this book reveals how Chinese efforts to recalibrate the world are taken up, challenged, revamped, and reworked in diverse contexts around the world.

Abstract:
In the last quarter century, a new form of iconic architecture has appeared throughout the world's major cities. Typically designed by globe-trotting "starchitects" or by a few large transnational architectural firms, these projects are almost always funded by the private sector in the service of private interests. Whereas in the past monumental architecture often had a strong public component, the urban ziggurats of today are emblems and conduits of capitalist globalization. In The Icon Project, Leslie Sklair focuses on ways in which capitalist globalization is produced and represented all over the world, especially in globalizing cities. Sklair traces how the iconic buildings of our era-elaborate shopping malls, spectacular museums, and vast urban megaprojects--constitute the triumphal "Icon Project" of contemporary global capitalism, promoting increasing inequality and hyperconsumerism. Two of the most significant strains of iconic architecture--unique icons recognized as works of art, designed by the likes of Gehry, Foster, Koolhaas, and Hadid, as well as successful, derivative icons that copy elements of the starchitects' work--speak to the centrality of hyperconsumerism within contemporary capitalism. Along with explaining how the architecture industry organizes the social production and marketing of iconic structures, he also shows how corporations increasingly dominate the built environment and promote the trend towards globalizing, consumerist cities. The Icon Project, Sklair argues, is a weapon in the struggle to solidify capitalist hegemony as well as reinforce transnational capitalist control of where we live, what we consume, and how we think.

Abstract:
What remains of the 2012 Globe to Globe Festival through the globeplayer.tv seems to have yoked neo-Victorian ideals of the 1851 Great Exhibition to twenty-first-century social media marketing tools. The globeplayer.tv helps to spread the Globe brand internationally but at a price. This chapter argues that the festival she experienced was much more than a product and that individual productions within it reclaimed, as well as wrote back to, imperial attitudes and the project of civilizing the natives through Shakespeare. Linking analysis to the reassessment of history as experience and digital marketing as storytelling, the chapter argues that performance criticism has nowhere to go but back to its origins in theatre history, chronicling the interaction and political implications of specific performances. The author traces how how she travelled through the performances to help create the archive of the festival and likens her role to ‘Chorus to this history’.

Abstract:
AbstractForecasting economic and financial variables is a challenging task for several reasons, such as the low signal-to-noise ratio, regime changes, and the effect of volatility among others. A recent trend is to extract information from news as an additional source to forecast economic activity and financial variables. The goal is to evaluate if news can improve forecasts from standard methods that usually are not well-specified and have poor out-of-sample performance. In a currently on-going project, our goal is to combine a richer information set that includes news with a state-of-the-art machine learning model. In particular, we leverage on two recent advances in Data Science, specifically on Word Embedding and Deep Learning models, which have recently attracted extensive attention in many scientific fields. We believe that by combining the two methodologies, effective solutions can be built to improve the prediction accuracy for economic and financial time series. In this preliminary contribution, we provide an overview of the methodology under development and some initial empirical findings. The forecasting model is based on DeepAR, an auto-regressive probabilistic Recurrent Neural Network model, that is combined with GloVe Word Embeddings extracted from economic news. The target variable is the spread between the US 10-Year Treasury Constant Maturity and the 3-Month Treasury Constant Maturity (T10Y3M). The DeepAR model is trained on a large number of related GloVe Word Embedding time series, and employed to produce point and density forecasts.

This paper describes a new concept and experiences of a distributed interdisciplinary learning programme for students across continents. The aim is to provide students with a truly Global Intercultural Project Experience (GIPE) by working together with peers from around the world, and solving real-life client’s problems. We have received seed-funding for four annual projects to engage students from Germany (Europe), Namibia (Africa), Indonesia (Asia), and Peru (Latin-America). In 2020, 30 students from four continents engaged in a one-semester distributed software development project for a Namibian client. Despite Covid-19 they successfully completed the project expressing deep appreciation for the learning opportunities overcoming challenges of working across wide-spread time zones, cultures, changing requirements, and various technical challenges. Considering the vast learning benefits, we suggest to incorporate such projects in all tertiary education curricula across the globe.

Abstract:
Transiency no longer appears as a condition of exception, but rather as the predominant mode of existence. The increased tension across and beyond national borders and territorial divisions has drawn the attention of designers across the globe and densified our reflections on questions of identity, equality, politics and economic exchange, expanding the reach of design from the realm of physical forms, into modes of interaction in social spaces. The project presents design outcomes from the research conducted and methods employed during the advanced architectural design studio I developed and taught at the CCNY during 2017. The studio triggered an international call for contributions and it is currently under development for a book publication that explores the concept of impermanence in global contemporary society and aims to stimulate conversations about the potential of a new public realm.

Abstract:
As activities of companies become global there is an emerging need to understand the processes that lead to the success of large projects in which the core competency is centered in a parent company; an engineering department in a foreign subsidiary; and customers that are distributed across the globe. This situation requires an ever-increasing role for project managers (PM) to cross international boundaries. The modern PM must consider many facets of their responsibilities including: managing corporate knowledge as a strategic asset; transferring corporate knowledge to the project team and transferring engineering capabilities back to corporate; and, developing customer requirements that ensure project success. In order to meet these responsibilities, the project manager needs to understand the diversity of technical communication from parent to subsidiary, the cultural vagaries of these communications, in addition to maintaining an eye on knowledge transfer. The challenge for an organization is to manage knowledge transfer between headquarters and its subsidiaries optimally. This initial study will investigate the factors associated with successes of international projects examining cultural and knowledge transfer processes of industrial companies and their subsidiaries. It plans to improve understanding of how communication structures and mechanisms of companies are integrating factors between culture and knowledge transfer and how they impact project success.

Abstract:
It is common to find final or near final year undergraduate Information Technology students undertaking a substantial development project; a project where the students have the opportunity to be fully involved in the analysis, design, and development of an information technology service or product. This involvement has been catalyzed and prepared for during their previous studies where the students have been told and shown how to develop similar systems. It is the belief that only through this ‘real’ project do they get the chance to experience something similar to what is expected of them when they embark on their chosen profession; that is, as an information technology professional. The high value of ‘near real life’ educational experience is recognized by many universities across the globe. The aim of this paper is to present examples from three countries - Australia, United Kingdom and South Africa, of the delivery of these team, capstone or industrial experience projects; their curricula and management processes. Academics from institutions in each of the countries share experiences, challenges and pitfalls encountered during the delivery of these information technology projects within their institutions. An overview of each institution’s strategies is provided and highlights specific issues such as the selection of projects, allocation of teams to projects, legal requirements, assessment methods, challenges and benefits.

Full text
Abstract:
During the pre-operational blowdown testing of the AP1000® Automatic Depressurization System (ADS), it was observed that several ADS Stage 1-3 balanced globe valves did not fully open; however, the valves did sufficiently open to provide adequate ADS flow to meet the ADS System depressurization safety function. Since the Main Control Room did not receive a full-open signal indicating that the ADS valves fully completed the valve stroke, the valves were disassembled to determine the potential cause and scoring was observed on the valve disk and valve body guide surfaces. A technical design review team was formed and determined that the primary cause was unequal thermal expansion between the thin walled valve disk and the thicker valve body resulting in interference during valve stroking. Classical thermal and CFD analyses were used to confirm that, once a normally closed globe valve received its signal to open, there was not sufficient “soak time” for the thicker valve body to reach thermal equilibrium with the thinner valve disk; thus, as the valve disk stroked open as it moved along the guide surfaces, there was not sufficient clearance resulting in scoring between the disk and the guides preventing the disk from stroking fully open. The solution was to maximize the clearance between the disk and body guides to allow for thermal growth during the ADS blowdown event. However, changing the clearances between the body guides and disk may compensate for thermal growth but may also impact the valve’s “balancing” function; therefore. disk piston rings were added to restore the tight clearance needed for “balancing” yet sufficiently provide relief from the effects of thermal growth. A prototype valve was retrofitted, and small scale validation tests were performed using air to challenge the changes. The preliminary performance test results were utilized by system designers to better understand the valve function in the event of an ADS blowdown. Although no full-scale retrofit testing was practical using high temperature saturated steam, as no suitable test facility was available within the plant operational test schedule time frame, the quality of the recovery effort yielded a high degree of confidence that the system retest would be successful. The project came to a successful conclusion upon two successful operational ADS blowdown tests with the retrofits installed.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of Pipeline Project Technical Documents, along with Control Room Management and Compliance Issues, Challenges and Processes in the Oil & Gas Industry. It will be based on the work that the authors have developed between 2010 and 2015. With an overwhelming number of standards, norms, and best practices, operational and security requirements needs to be well implemented and documented. Any compliance issues have the potential to cause serious repercussions to an organization as an incident or an audit failure could result in significant financial loss. This review is especially critical to the industry as it highlights the advantages of taking a broad approach to obtain and maintain compliance in today’s Oil & Gas regulatory environment. The focus will be on pipeline monitoring regulations - Department of Transportation (DOT) - Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and American Petroleum Institute (API) recommended practices: API 1164 (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System - SCADA Security), API 1165 (SCADA Displays), API 1167 (SCADA Alarm Management) and API 1168 (Control Room Management). Regarding Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) security, this includes not only IT infrastructure such as computers and network related appliances, but also other equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) depending on the system architecture. The cyber-security threat has become a real issue related to critical infrastructure protection, and physical or human-risk issues. Understanding the systems vulnerabilities that could impact the availability of the control system and the facilities it controls is key. On the Control Room Management side, current PHMSA regulatory framework, a human factors plan is required to ensure control systems match human capabilities and limitations. Pipeline operators are since required to inform controllers of their roles and responsibilities, and carefully assess the implications on each of the following SCADA areas: alarm management, documentation and procedures, HMI displays, shift handover, fatigue management, change management and training. Therefore with the pipeline industry facing increasing regulatory scrutiny and ever-increasing cyber-threats, it’s more important than ever for companies to improve their plans, documentation, and processes. Companies around the globe are converging and prioritizing Security and Control, establishing long-term strategy to meet and sustain regulatory compliance to remain competitive, increase efficiency and productivity. The authors, working jointly with the client and industry leaders, have developed compliance methods and procedures to deal with these challenges. After applying these methods and procedures, the observed results were translated into smoother transitions to a centralized SCADA control center, which not only meet regulatory safety guidelines and PHMSA regulation, but also added value and efficiency to the control center operations.

Abstract:
The growing trend of global, multi-company collaboration within the engineering community has led to a changed work environment where new graduates must function under constraints that include global, cultural, and business contexts as part of the new engineering “fundamentals”. The classical “engineering science” education model lacks opportunities for students to gain experience that prepares them for this new work environment. To provide learning opportunities that will enhance the global communication and intercultural collaboration skills of engineering students, a pilot project for providing some goal-directed learning space was set up as a global experiential learning design studio in aeronautical engineering. During this project, engineering teams spread across the globe are designing, building and testing innovative blended wing body UAV airframes. The lessons learned from this pilot project are intended to generate a template that can effectively be used across different disciplines of engineering. This paper describes the education initiative and the accomplished designs. It additionally reports on experiences and lessons learned to date, and steps taken to improve the learning outcomes and graduate attributes, to enhance global team collaboration skills.

Abstract:
Since long before the Covid-19 pandemic emerged in 2020, civic space has been changing all over the globe, generally becoming more restricted and hazardous. The pandemic brought the suspension of many fundamental freedoms in the name of the public good, providing cover for a deepening of authoritarian tendencies but also spurring widespread civic activism on issues suddenly all the more important, ranging from emergency relief to economic impacts. Research partners in the Action for Empowerment and Accountability (A4EA)'s Navigating Civic Space in a Time of Covid project have explored these dynamics through real-time research embedded in civil society in Mozambique, Nigeria, and Pakistan, grounded in a close review of global trends.

Abstract:
As countries across the globe pursue economic development, the improvement of individual and societal well-being has increasingly become an overarching goal. In the global South, in particular, high levels of poverty, inequality and deteriorating social fabrics remain significant challenges. Programmes and projects for addressing these challenges have had some, but limited, impact. This occasional paper analyses well-being in Gauteng province from a capability perspective, using a standard ‘capability approach’ consistent with Amartya Sen’s first conceptualisation, which was then operationalised by Martha Nussbaum. Earlier research on poverty and inequality in the Gauteng City-Region was mainly based on objective characteristics of well-being such as income, employment, housing and schooling. Using data from the Gauteng City-Region Observatory’s Quality of Life Survey IV for 2015/16, our capability approach provides a more holistic view of well-being by focusing on both objective and subjective aspects simultaneously. The results confirm the well-known heterogeneity in human conditions among South African demographic groups, namely that capability achievements vary across race, age, gender, income level and location. However, we observe broader (in both subjective and objective dimensions) levels of deprivation that are otherwise masked in the earlier studies. In light of these findings, the paper recommends that policies are directly targeted towards improving those capability indicators where historically disadvantaged and vulnerable groups show marked deprivation. In addition, given the spatial heterogeneities in capability achievements, we recommend localised interventions in capabilities that are lagging in certain areas of the province.
