Resumen

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to glean leadership lessons of megaproject managers through the life stories of four purposefully selected managers from two contemporary and two landmark megaprojects. Design/methodology/approach A narrative inquiry approach applying thematic analysis is used to capture lessons learnt from these stories with a focus on leading megaprojects. Narrative analysis has been used in organization studies and this paper is an attempt to use it in project management research. Findings Common strategies used by all four megaproject managers to be successful include: selecting the right people and building their capability; building trust with stakeholders; dealing with institutional power and politics effectively; and having the courage to innovate. There were also some differences in the approaches used by these managers due the times in which these projects were implemented. Research limitations/implications The use of narrative inquiry is new to project management literature. As the life stories were not presented in the same way it was difficult to analyze them in the same manner, and further data had to be collected. This could have been avoided if it were feasible to collect narratives directly from the megaproject managers. This is being planned in future research emerging from this paper. Practical implications This study helps megaproject managers to exhibit leadership attributes that would be required to execute such large complex projects that have wide implications for the society, economy and the environment. Social implications Megaprojects are often considered major displacements that cause social and geophysical issues that affect the environment. Lessons learnt from these stories could be useful to avoid such issues. The stories analyzed showed the human side of the megaproject managers toward people related, health and societal issues. Originality/value Narrative inquiry is new to project management literature. In the past, project management literature has focused on extracting lessons learnt from historical and classical projects, but lessons from life stories of project managers have not been used for the same purpose.

Resumen

We look to media as memory, and a place to memorialize, when we have lost. Hypermedia pioneers such as Ted Nelson and Vannevar Bush envisioned the ultimate media within the ultimate archive—with each element in continual flux, and with constant new addition. Dynamism without loss. Instead we have the Web, where “Not Found” is a daily message. Projects such as the Internet Archive and Afterlife dream of fixing this uncomfortable impermanence. Marketeers promise that agents (indentured information servants that may be the humans of About.com or the software of “Ask Jeeves”) will make the Web comfortable through filtering—hiding the impermanence and overwhelming profluence that the Web's dynamism produces. The Impermanence Agent—a programmatic, esthetic, and critical project created by the author, Brion Moss, a.c. chapman, and Duane Whitehurst— operates differently. It begins as a storytelling agent, telling stories of impermanence, stories of preservation, memorial stories. It monitors each user's Web browsing, and starts customizing its storytelling by weaving in images and texts that the user has pulled from the Web. In time, the original stories are lost. New stories, collaboratively created, have taken their place.

Resumen

Research on projects has to a limited degree taken issue with how projects are chief producers of meaning at work. We develop the concept of narrative capital as a basic mechanism for how people can engender meaning in and through projects in organizations. Narrative capital is derived from experiences that people appropriate into their individual and collective life stories, retrospectively, as adding to a repertoire of accumulated learning and mastering, and prospectively, in terms of living with purpose and hope. We chart implications for meaning making in projects as expanding ownership, expanding connections of impact, and extending narrative possibility.

Resumen

Stories have shaped people life since the beginning of humanity. Telling and sharing stories in an inspiring way is an art that has been deeply hidden with the heritage of many civilisations. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the new movement of storytelling on the intergeneration gap and their role in raising our curiosity about chronic socio-economic issues that are degrading the movement of humanity.The paper focus on the best way of narrating poverty elimination stories and what improvements need to be done in projects that focus on reporting the results and the outcomes of the poverty labs, as the international project of inspiration economy.

Resumen

AbstractThe present investigation was based on the analysis of twenty respondents, ten men and ten women, all retired. The written texts were obtained from the archives of one of the authors who gathered autobiographies using a guided method of assigned topics of life. The main objective for this analysis was to find those central life goals and dominant activities around which the projects of life were formed. Sorting of life projects was done according to the constant comparison method described by Glaser and Strauss in their Grounded Theory model. Five types of life projects were identified in the narratives:living is achieving, living is being social, living is loving, living is family life, living is struggling.Considerable gender differences appeared in the findings with women showing a broader participation and interpretation of life where family life, community work and job careers were important. The men tended to be more monothematic focusing either on a personal achievement or a career development in a more social context. The rhetoric in the discourse of life themes was quite different between the sexes reflecting the sex role scripts of the cohort studied. Only in some of the types was the class dimension clearly visible where the typeliving is achievingand to a certain extent evenliving is being socialreflected upper middle class and upper class occupations whileliving is lovingreflected middle class occupations. The positive narrative tone and the telling of well-managed life projects and success stories in most of the accounts were considered as American features in comparison to some Finnish life stories that contained more of the telling of hardships. The most gender bound accounts such as the masculineliving is achievingand the feminineliving is lovinglife projects showed the greatest resemblances between these two western cultures revealing comparable master scripts.

Resumen

This article examines how photographic practices in collaborative research might mediate migrant voices. It looks at the case of Shutter Stories, a collaborative photography project featuring images by Indian and Korean migrants in Manila, the Philippines. Drawing on life-story interviews and participant observation data, I identify two ways that the photographic selection practices in the project mediated the migrants’ photo essays. One is how subject selection practices led the participants to use both strategic and ‘medium’ essentialism in choosing their topics. The second is how technique selection practices enabled the participants to express vernacular creativity in crafting their images. I argue that the mediation instantiated by Shutter Stories fostered the participants’ ability to use photo essays to articulate voices that simultaneously conveyed their personal stories and engaged the viewing public. However, I also identify the limits of this mediation, indicating how future projects can better enable migrant voices.

Resumen

Stories live to be told to others, Dan McAdams (2008) writes: Life stories therefore are continually made and remade in social relationships and in the overall social context provided by culture. As psychosocial constructions, life stories reflect the values, norms, and power differentials inherent in societies, wherein they have their constitutive meanings. The construction of coherent life stories is an especially challenging problem for adults living in contemporary modern (and postmodern) societies, wherein selves are viewed as reflexive projects imbued with complexity and depth, ever changing yet demanding a coherent framing. This paper considers the memoir as a kind of life story, to be explored through selected memoirists, researchers, and scholars by focusing on the relationship between identity construction, memory, history, and imagination. Narrative structure, as well as the compelling experiences and ideas detailed in memoirs, will be analyzed to arrive at a better understanding of issues related to the creative process.

Texto completo

Resumen

Located amid tropical rainforest, in an upper tributary of the Sepik River, the Frieda River area is home to one of the biggest undeveloped gold and copper deposits in the Pacific. Exploration of Frieda's rich deposits has been ongoing since it began in 1969, bringing together unlikely partners in a process of preparing for a large-scale resource extraction project. This thesis offers an ethnographic account of stakeholder relations as they were unfolding at Frieda over forty years after the first company arrived on the banks of the River. It presents the key stakeholders of the Frieda River Project as outcomes of relations which produced them, emergent from an interplay between prescribed roles and expectations of responsibilities, and on the ground activities of forming and negotiating social relations. Through an ethnographic study of the Payamo it describes a process through which the Frieda River Project's local stakeholders mobilized a range of complex and contested relations to turn Frieda's rich deposits into development, and to make the mine at Frieda happen. This study provides an ethnographic insight into complex and contested processes of planning for a resource extraction project as they were actually taking place. It proposes an analytical framework of looking at a mine as a social relation and argues that although it might not yet have the appearance which would make it visible to the company and the government, from the perspective of its indigenous stakeholders the Frieda River Mine is already happening, but it has not yet revealed itself.

Resumen

A dissertação aqui apresentada é fruto do estudo que teve duas questões nucleares: O que a escola faz com o sujeito? e O que o sujeito faz com aquilo que a escola lhe fez? Com isso, os principais objetivos da pesquisa foram identificar, compreender e analisar sentidos atribuídos à escola e às contribuições que essa traz para a constituição dos projetos pessoais dos que passam por esse processo. O estudo teve como corpus documental narrativas biográficas de sete estudantes do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática do Instituto de Matemática e Estatística da Universidade de São Paulo. Foram realizadas entrevistas narrativas biográficas, em que os colaboradores contaram suas histórias de vida seguindo os três eixos que estruturaram a pesquisa: antes, durante e depois da escola. No primeiro eixo, procurou-se entender como a escola era vista antes da entrada nessa, bem como a valorização da Educação, sobretudo escolar, para a família. Entretanto, os colaboradores apresentaram poucas lembranças acerca dessa fase de vida. A fase durante a escola foi assinalada, de um lado, por episódios de alegria por momentos que envolviam professores marcantes, situações de destaque e, por outro lado, acontecimentos que envolveram o sentimento de desprazer e frustração, por causa das dificuldades enfrentadas e da obrigatoriedade vivida dentro do sistema escolar. O terceiro eixo aborda como a escola teve papel fundamental para a escolha do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, bem como a relação com a matemática; o ingresso e permanência na graduação; a inserção no mercado de trabalho e a iniciação à docência; e os projetos pessoais dos estudantes. Constatou-se que, entre os casos abordados, os principais sentidos atribuídos à escola foram as relações pessoais, a aprendizagem e a diversão. Ao considerar os projetos pessoais, os colaboradores pretendem dar continuidade aos estudos, sobretudo por meio de cursos em nível de pós-graduação. Para os sete colaboradores, a escola se fez como palco para constituição de diversos tipos de relações pessoais, entre elas relações de amizade e de amor. Nos casos estudados, os professores marcantes também trouxeram contribuições para os colaboradores. Se considerar a situação dos pais, em alguns casos, a escola também se fez como propulsora das mudanças atuais. A constituição de família também aparece muito forte para os colaboradores, com o pensamento de investir na Educação dos filhos, sobretudo escolar, na esperança de que a escola tenha importância significativa como teve em suas vidas. A escola e o ensino da Matemática se tornam uma opção bastante válida dentro do mercado de trabalho. No entanto, ser professor não é a única opção, uma vez que a formação em questão possibilita a atuação em outras áreas.
The thesis presented here is the result of a study with two core questions: What does the school do with the subject? And What does the subject do with the things the school has done with him? Thus, the main objectives of this research were to identify, understand and analyze the meanings attributed to the school and its contributions to the formation of personal projects of those who had passed through this process. The study had as corpus biographical narrative interviews of seven undergraduate students from Teaching Degree in Mathematics at The Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, of University of São Paulo. In these interviews, collaborators were asked to tell their life stories following three bases that structure the research: before, during and after school. In the first basis, we tried to understand how school was perceived before starting school, as well as the familys values on Education, especially school education. However, the collaborators presented few memories around this stage of life. The phase during school was assigned, on one hand, by episodes of joy due to moments involving outstanding teachers and situations, and on the other hand, events surrounded by the feeling of displeasure and frustration because of the difficulties and the obligation experienced under the school system. The third basis addresses how school had its key role in the students choice of Teaching Degree in Mathematics as well as their relationship with mathematics; their admission and permanence in the course; their insertion in labor market and initiation to teaching; and their personal projects. It was found that, among the cases discussed, the main meanings given to school were personal relationships, learning and fun. When considering personal projects, the collaborators intend to continue studying, especially in graduate courses. For the seven collaborators, the school was the stage for constituting several types of personal relationships, including friendship and love. In the cases studied, the outstanding teachers also made their contribution. Considering the situation of their parents, in some cases, the school also has fueled current changes. Family constitution is also a very strong point for the collaborators when thinking of investing in the education of children, especially school, hoping that the school has the same significant importance as they had. The school and the teaching of mathematics become a very valid option inside the labor market. However, being a teacher is not the only option, as the course under consideration enables activities in other areas.

Resumen

I was there (vol. I and II) is a set of two limited-edition artist books that portrays and tells the life stories of Kevin and Esta, two unrelated older individuals who live close to my home. I was there translates my conversations with them into a material form through an unconventional combination of text, image, the blank space of the page, and the book structure itself. The tasks involved in the production of the artist books expanded to include photography, audio and video recordings, transcription, designing, printing and publishing. Accompanying the artworks, this exegesis reflects a critical exploration of issues surrounding the notions of language, storytelling, portraiture and representation, and unpacks ideas that concern and respond to a wider ongoing conversation found in the literature. In particular, the research responds to and draws upon Mexican artist Ulises Carrión‘s definition of the artist book; Italian microhistorian Carlo Ginzburg‘s theory of signs; American literature professor Walter Ong‘s ideas on the impact of the invention of writing; and the work of German philosopher Benjamin Walter and French literary theorist Roland Barthes. Within this framework, the research outcome demonstrates an original way of communicating life stories and proposes the artist book as an alternative space for documentary work.

Resumen

This dissertation presents the creative life of the Yanktonai Dakota modernist painter and educator Oscar Howe (1915-1983). The biography on Oscar Howe documents a comprehensive timeline of life events and traces the improbable educational odyssey from a shy and isolated boarding school student to emeritus professor with several honorary doctorates."Distinctly Oscar Howe: Life, Art, Stories" revisits and reinforces existing stories, and presents and interprets new stories in the biographical narrative of Howe's life as an influential figure in South Dakota's history as well as the history of American Indian art in the twentieth century. A talented artist uniquely isolated in South Dakota for much of his career, Oscar Howe was a principal figure and innovative artist who had a tremendous impact on the American Indian art world and beyond. Through words and actions, Howe symbolized a revolutionary individual at a time of great change for American Indian artists.Primary documents are the heart of this research. Letters, photographs, and artworks are reproduced to record the artist's relationship to the people, places, and ideas of central distinction to his life story in the twentieth century.This study reveals that Oscar Howe captured the nation's attention at a time in history when elements of his popularity stemmed from the nation's interest in its Indigenous people and pride in the nation's original American artists. Howe's chief importance in the field of American Indian art rests in three significant areas: (1) his role as an outspoken advocate of American Indian modernity, (2) his validation of the role of individualism and self-expression in American Indian art, and (3) the role of the arts within the greater community of people to teach about other cultures.

Resumen

To follow are 31 different retrospective logframes representing coded data from the NC-Exchange Community NETworker Demonstration. In my approach, I have taken interview data from project participants in three categories - NC-Exchange staff, NETworkers, and host organization directors - in addition to the original NETworker project proposal, and coded the information using the structure of the logical framework. In all, I have coded 26 separate items from different project sources. More specifically, I have placed each statement (or portion of a statement) made by the participants (or sentences, in the case of the proposal) into the box in the logframe matrix that I feel best represents the statement's meaning relative to its position within the overall system of the NETworker project. In this way, each statement becomes a disaggregated Wider Objective, Immediate Objective, Output, Activity, Indicator of Achievement, Means of Verification, or Assumption of the project. Because the individual retrospective logframes based on statements from the full interview transcripts are quite long (in some cases, more than 40 pages), I have also produced synthesized versions of several retrospective logframes in which I capture the main points in bullet-point format. In the long versions of the retrospective logframes, statements have been left intact; in the short versions, individual statements have been shortened or summarized into their key themes. In summarizing them, I have sought to leave the phrases in the same language used by the respondents in order to preserve the intended meanings. Statements that have not fit within the logframe categories have not been captured, though they remain accessible via the transcripts. For a more detailed description of the method, please refer to Appendix 6 of the thesis.

Resumen

History
M.A.
This thesis explores the use and potential of digital timelines in public history projects. Digital timelines have become a popular and accessible ways for institutions and individuals to write history. The history of timelines indicates that people understand timelines as authoritative information visualizations because they represent concrete events in absolute time. The goals of public history often conflict with the linear, progressive nature of most timelines. This thesis reviews various digital timeline tools and uses The Print Center's Centennial Timeline as an in-depth case study that takes into account the multifaceted factors involved in creating a digital timeline. Digital history advocates support digital scholarship as an alternative to traditional narrative writing. This thesis illustrates that digital timelines can enable people to visualize history in unexpected ways, fostering new arguments and creative storytelling. Despite their potential, digital timelines often replicate the conventions of their paper counterparts because of the authoritative nature of the timeline form.

Resumen

AbstractThe stories of gay spaces across the United States are largely unrecorded, undocumented, and are not centrally collected or archived beyond informal reports and oral histories. Evidence demonstrates that the preservation of historic sites allows for future generations to benefit from intangibles related to community and identity. However, the LGBTQ+ community has been unable to gain benefits that place-based, historic sites can provide, due to an inability to commemorate spaces that have shaped LGBTQ+ history in significant ways. This chapter explores the disparities between the preservation and commemoration of significant LGBTQ+ spaces and the amount of funding distributed to these sites. As of 2016, LGBTQ+ sites comprised only 0.08 percent of the 2,500 U.S. National Historic Landmarks and 0.005 percent of the more than 90,000 places listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This representation is well short of the share of American adults that identify as LGBTQ+ , which in 2017 was approximately five percent of the United States population. In 2010 the Administration of President Barack Obama launched the LGBTQ Heritage Initiative under the National Historic Landmarks Program. This effort underscored a broader commitment to include historically underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals. As a result, LGBTQ+ communities became eligible to receive funding for projects through the Underrepresented Community Grant Program. An analysis of the distribution of Underrepresented Community Grant Program funds revealed that the LGBTQ+ community receives considerably less funding compared to other underrepresented communities. The findings from this study suggest that there is still a significant amount of work that remains to be done to integrate LGBTQ+ histories into historic preservation programs that exist at various levels of programming (local, state, and federal).

Resumen

An ongoing FHWA project is redefining concrete pavement preservation as “preserving the existing concrete pavement structure to extend its service life for as long as possible, by arresting, greatly diminishing, or avoiding the pavement deterioration process.” This can be achieved through three fundamental approaches: (a) designing and constructing pavements that remain structurally adequate and relatively distress-free throughout their service lives (i.e., using long-life concrete pavement), (b) using asphalt or concrete overlays as preservation treatments to maintain the functional performance of the pavement, and (c) maintaining the serviceability of the pavement using concrete pavement restoration (CPR) treatments. One of the tasks under the project was to document 11 concrete pavement projects around the U.S. that have successfully demonstrated the application of the three fundamental preservation approaches mentioned above. This includes information on the following: (a) original pavement design, materials, and construction, (b) traffic and service conditions, (c) maintenance and rehabilitation history, (d) present day condition [based on site visits in 2018], and (e) economic analysis. This paper highlights key information for 11 different case study projects and presents a summary of lessons learned from each project. The information gleaned from these success stories are being used in the development of guidelines for long-term concrete pavement preservation strategies.

Resumen

"Because history is larger than history books" this is why MyStory (Creating an ICT-based inter-generational learning environment;Project no. 511641-LLP-1-2010-1-RO-KA3-KA3MP) has been planned to explore and bring out into the light the stories of the past. Their stories matter! The stories of all those who have had history for a daily life. It is through these stories that we hope to bridge the gap between generations. Understanding the other is the first step towards embracing generations which may seem so far away or ahead of times. Seniors and teenagers - two social extremes in the present world, each of them carying an impressive load of knowledge, values and abilities. Seniors have the memories of a world slowly fading away while teenagers have the pulse of present and vision of future. It is therefore a must that these two ends bound to create a constant interconnection through sharing, input and intake on the part of both sides. Factual information is moulded by personal experice and in this particular context subjectivity brings an added value to already stored historical information. The "I" stands not for distortion of reality but for personal experience which needs to be valorised and treasured for its great potential of casting light upon present. Past itself can be updated and present technologies be put in its service. MyStory project empowers seniors and encourages them to share their stories with the young generation through interviews collected by young people. Films, the final form of these interviews, are presented to the final beneficiary on the project website at www.mystories.eu and are accompanied by complementary information on the historical and social background. This is mainly targeted at teenagers, educational institutions, museums, researchers etc who can use the processed or row material in their professional activities. On the other hand, seniors are involved in training classes to develop basic ICT skills which allow them to have access to online information and thus add a new alternative to daily activities. Training is being done with the help and support of teenagers and this ensures a bidirectional transfer of knowledge and abilities. Technology in the case of MyStory project is being used to facilitate access to online information but also to equip the user with transversal competences which can be used either on the virtual or the face-to-face medium. Combining past experiences with present innovative technologies is a means of reviving history in a functional way and making it part of the present dynamics.

Resumen

Abstract Enhanced oil recovery has been gaining relevance over the years following success stories from already executed projects from various parts of the globe. The recoveries from such successful projects have tremendously increased the terminal life cycle recoveries from the subject reservoirs and subsequently the project Net Present Value and Value to Investment Ratio. More than 90% of Field Development Plans in the Niger Delta have not considered Enhanced Recovery Mechanism as part of the field development options and as such Top Quartile Recovery Factors are never achieved. In this study, the effectiveness of Enhanced Oil Recovery within the Niger-Delta reservoir sands via 3-Dimentional Dynamic Simulation, Economic models and Experimental investigations (temperature and pressure effects on polymer effectiveness) was done. The GN7000 reservoir was used as a case study for this work. This reservoir is the largest gas cap reservoir in the N-Onshore field within the Niger Delta area and it is at the mid-life stage. This study tested the effectiveness of three Recovery mechanisms (Water Flood, Polymer Flood and Polymer Alternating Gas). Simulated and Experimental result suggests that Polymer flooding and Polymer Alternating Gas (PAG) yields greater Technical Ultimate Recovery, better economic indices but greater complexity in polymer selection due to inherent high reservoir temperature and low salinity that make the use of synthetic polymers inadequate. Experimental investigation showed that biopolymers are most suitable for this sand. The suitability of some biopolymers (Xanthan and copolymers containing high level of 2-acrylamido2-methyl propane sulfonate (AMPS) showed good results. Study results shows that with the deployment of biopolymers with high viscosifying power and high resistance to thermal degradation an incremental recovery of 8% from the natural flow could be achieved. Research findings indicate that biopolymers could yield good results for Niger Delta sands within the pressure and temperature ranges of 93°C and 290 Bar.

Resumen

<p>Building information modeling (BIM) is a new technology in the bridge construction industry. 3D models can provide perfect numerical expression of drawings from design results. 3D information models for bridge structures improve design quality in terms of accurate drawings, constructability, and collaboration. However, there are lots of challenges to apply these techniques to actual bridge projects. For instance, bridge engineers are facing the challenge of making the vast information generated by their structural model useful for professionals further down the line in the lifecycle of the bridge. Contractors and inspectors require a 3D model which is created after the design process to add extra information related to activities and store that information in the same model. In this paper, technologies available to generate, manage, and enrich the bridge 3D model with intelligent information from construction to design and inspection are proposed.</p>

Resumen

Why do we need e-learning in primary school classrooms? We think there are lots of reasons why primary teachers might like to get involved and explore e-learning opportunities with this age range. The multitude of projects submitted by the various local authorities, individuals or institutions, even though there will be implemented only partially or not at all, however, clearly shows a trend and a clear perspective that will evolve the education system in Romania and in primary school also. Just getting familiar with some technologies and already appear: now discussing about that smart phone and Tablet could get rid of the dozens of investments in interactive books. There are already software about animals or with children's stories for such equipment, I will support this presentation up who knows what will show up ... It is clear: we must learn at the same pace as technology develops! Moodle e-learning is absolutely brilliant but is not usually Primary Schools in Romania.. Within SEI V 250 lessons were created for primary education which run in AeL. There are a large number of firms that create lessons for primary education, because it seems like the primary students buy most of these CDs with lessons. However, there is still a unitary system, national or international level, to provide a proper and complete training pupils in primary classes. Clasa3.ro, clasa4.ro project and other related sites aims to form a platform where teachers, students and parents to have free access to educational resources specific to their class is learning.

Resumen

Abstract In a global context aiming to unlock a low carbon future by industry decarbonization, developing the infrastructure for capturing and storing CO2 emissions is a key target of countries, energy companies and regulatory bodies. Injection for geological storage in suitable reservoirs is an advantageous option which presents challenges related to the completion accessories and string exposed to the injected fluid and the thermodynamical loads during injection and the well life. The purpose of this work is to simulate by numerical analysis and full-scale test, the behavior of a gas-tight Metal-to-Metal OCTG premium dope-free connection when subjected to low temperatures and loads generated by the effect of a sudden CO2 high pressure drop during injection in depleted reservoirs. Extreme temperature drop down caused by the Joule-Thompson (J-T) effect between injection conditions (P-T) inside the tubular and those in the annulus, may expose tubing connections to a thermal shock reaching a temperature near the theoretical figure of -78.5°C. This temperature drop assumed as worst-case scenario is also explored. The analysis is performed considering estimated loads for a CO2 injection case study. The numerical analysis and full-scale test performed confirm the structural and sealability performance of the connection is not affected by the exposure to such low temperatures. Additionally, transient thermal loads, with a drop of approximately 100°C, appears to be not critical for the metal-to-metal dope-free seal integrity and also not affecting the structural integrity of the connection. The challenges setting up of a prototype testing frame, simulating the cooling by thermal shock, lead to a methodology for assessing CCS projects premium connection able to define a robust testing protocol for cryogenic temperatures. The numerical and full-scale results collected on the tested connection size, together with the ones previously tested, allow extrapolation to near sizes of the same premium thread family. The results achieved by testing a premium connection which has been subjected to a thermal shock approaching -78.5°C represent a forefront in the industry, demonstrating the reliability of the product not only in operative conditions during CO2 injection, but also after an extreme event, assessing performance for the CCUS storage projects.

Resumen

Even with the amount of information that is diffused nowadays over the internet it is undeniable that the books in paper format are still a valuable source of knowledge either because they are often a reliable source or because the paper gives us a sensation that a screen does not give. Having said that, it is essential that a library not only publishes on the internet all the available books but also ensures good management for all that knowledge source. That is how this research and project comes up, a compilation of library standards for its management from the cataloguing of the books to its physical display in the library, as well as the automatization of all that standards. This study and the application of its results were done in a small library, Centro de Camões that complements the Department of Humanities of Marie Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland. It used the Agile software engineering methodology, a light, efficient and low risk way of development. User stories were used as an approach that promotes essentially the user’s point of view in the solution, i.e lead the team to think, question and perceive what they are developing. The main features of the automatization and management system are the cataloging with a book online search script by ISBN that returns the vital intel of a book, a website that shares with the users all the bibliography available and a books manager, also includes a requisitions manager that allows warnings to the library and users. The framework used was Django, a high-level Python Web framework. On it, we apply technologies like channels, Web sockets and all the fundamental guidelines of Web development. Therefore, this article is a jump start for those who want either implement a similar solution in a library or want to apply some technologies used on this project on their own projects, the source code of this project can be found at https://github.com/tfcl/camoes.

Resumen

Abstract The Liverpool Bay Asset Carbon Capture and Storage (LBA CCS) project is being developed in parallel with, and as an integral part of, the HyNet North West integrated project, which is aimed at decarbonizing the important industrial region of North-West England and North Wales. The Liverpool Bay Asset (100% Eni UK Limited) is approaching the end of its production life and would be progressively decommissioned over the period 2023 to 2025 without the prospect of re-configuring to a CCS project. Eni plans to reuse and repurpose the depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs of the Hamilton, Hamilton North and Lennox fields together with their associated infrastructure to transport and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions captured upstream by the HyNet NW partners. A Carbon Dioxide Appraisal and Storage Licence was awarded to Eni by the UK Oil & Gas Authority (OGA) in October 2020 for this purpose. The project has now completed the Concept Selection Phase and the paper describes the multidisciplinary work covering subsurface, facilities and drilling engineering, flow assurance and project management that has been completed to select the development concept for advancement into the concept definition phase. It demonstrates the viability and benefits of re-using depleted fields and existing infrastructure originally installed for hydrocarbon production to reduce the unit cost of storage, a key metric for all CCS projects.

Texto completo

Resumen

In the Terai region of South-Eastern Nepal, there persists a form of agricultural bonded labour called Harwa-Charwa, rooted in agricultural feudal social relations. The Terai has a long and dynamic political history with limited employment opportunities and high levels of migration. This paper is an external qualitative analysis of over 150 life stories from individuals living in an area with high levels of bonded labour. These stories were previously analysed during a workshop through a collective participatory analysis. Both the participatory analysis and external analysis found similar mechanisms that trap people in poverty and bonded labour. The disaggregation by age in the external analysis could explain why child marriage and child labour were very important in the collective analysis but did not match the results of a baseline survey in the same geographical area that found only a few cases. The respondents were aged between 15 and 65. Child marriage and child labour had shaped the lives of the adults but have since decreased. Methodologically, the different ways of analysis diverge in their ability to differentiate timelines. The participatory analysis gives historical insights on pathways into child labour, but although some of the social norms persist this situation has changed.

Resumen

Labour abuse in the garment industry has been widely reported. This qualitative research explores the lived experiences in communities with bonded labour in Tamil Nadu, India. We conducted a qualitative expert-led analysis of 301 life stories of mostly women and girls. We also explore the differences and similarities between qualitative expert-led and participatory narrative analyses of life stories of people living near to and working in the spinning mills. Our findings show that the young female workforce, many of whom entered the workforce as children, are seen and treated as belonging – body, mind and soul – to others. Their stories confirm the need for a feminist approach to gender, race, caste and work that recognises the complexity of power. Oppression and domination have material, psychological and emotional forms that go far beyond the mill. Almost all the girls reported physical and psychological exhaustion from gendered unpaid domestic work, underpaid hazardous labour, little sleep, poor nutrition and being in unhealthy environments.

Resumen

This rapid review synthesises evidence on FCDO climate projects across the East African region in the following countries; Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania. This review established that sector stakeholders in countries like Rwanda lacked climate impact information. This highlights the need of providing the right information in the right form to meet the end users need. The above case studies have shown the need for consistent and harmonised future climate projections that are country specific. According to a study undertaken in Tanzania and Malawi, understanding the likely future characteristics of climate risk is a key component of adaptation and climate-resilient planning, but given future uncertainty it is important to design approaches that are strongly informed by local considerations and robust to uncertainty. According to the findings from the research, policy incoherence, over-reliance on donor funding, change in leadership roles is a barrier to adaptation. There is also an urgent need for mechanisms for sharing experience and learning from methodologies, technologies, and challenges. Further, Stakeholder dialogue and iterative climate service processes need to be facilitated. This review also explores approaches to communicating climatic uncertainties with decision-makers. Particularly, presentation of data using slide-sets, and stories about possible futures.

Resumen

Child Labour: Action-Research-Innovation in South and South-Eastern Asia (CLARISSA) has a participatory and child-centred approach that supports children to gather evidence, analyse it themselves and generate solutions to the problems they identify. The life story collection and collective analysis processes supported children and young people involved in the worst forms of child labour in Kathmandu to share and analyse their life stories. Four hundred life stories were collected and then analysed by children and young people engaged in and affected by the worst forms of child labour, including those who had previously been life storytellers and/or life story collectors. The data was collectively analysed using causal mapping, resulting in children’s life stories becoming the evidence base for revealing the macro-level system dynamics that drive the worst forms of child labour. This paper is a record of the children and young people’s analysis of the life stories and the key themes they identified, which formed the basis of a series of eight child-led Participatory Action Research groups based in Kathmandu.

Resumen

Building Information Modeling (BIM) can provide solutions to many challenges of asset management, such as missing data, incompatible software, and an unclear business process. However, current implementation of BIM in infrastructure projects has only considers limited factors, such as technology application and digital information delivery, while issues of system compatibility and information needs are still missing. Different aspects of a business are interdependent and an incompatible development of various factors might result in different levels of BIM implementation or even project failure. Comprehensive research is needed to explore the key factors and challenges of BIM implementation in infrastructure projects. This study conducted interviews and surveys with key stakeholders of infrastructure projects to explore the challenges and potential solutions of BIM implementation. Interviews were conducted with 37 professionals and surveys were conducted with 102 professional stakeholders, including owners, designers, contractors, and software vendors. Four main factors, challenges, and potential solutions were identified from content analysis of the interviews and further validated by the surveys. These factors include process factor (when), technology factor (how), people factor (who), and information factor (what). Corresponding solutions are proposed to refine the current workflow and practices.

Resumen

Malawi has strong policies and frameworks for nutrition but insufficient funding to implement them. Analyses of government budgets at national level and in 10 districts from financial years 2016/17 to 2022/23, found that domestic budget allocations for nutrition are still well below the 5% of national budget target set by the government. National budget allocations ranged between 0.5% to 3.7% depending on the year. At district level, they ranged from 0.2% to 1.6%, with only one district, in one financial year, exceeding the 1.5% target for district level nutrition budget allocations. Over 95% of nutrition activities in Malawi are currently funded by external donors. The absence of sufficient, consistent and dedicated domestic budget for nutrition at national and district level, means nutrition policies and plans will continue to be driven by, and dependent on, externally funded pilot-scale projects without national reach or ownership. Budget tracking is essential, as it provides data, which all actors can use to hold government to account on their commitments and funding targets.

Resumen

Pavement performance is a complex issue which depends on many contributing factors. Examining the performance of real-life pavements across the state determines what the actual service lives are for the pavements. For the purposes of this study, only selected LTPP projects were examined, along with a database containing all the historic repair projects completed in Indiana. Pertinent information present in the Indiana Historic Contracts Database was extracted concerning the types of pavement repair and treatments options commonly employed within the state, the time between repairs, etc. These data were used to determine descriptive statistical parameters and was summarized in graph form. Similarly, data about selected LTPP GPS and SPS sites were downloaded from the online website, LTPP InfoPave and a comparative study between companion sites was performed. These data included study site and pavement-related information, such as construction dates, pavement structure details, maintenance and repair history, and pavement distress surveys. These data were used to draw conclusions about the impact of treatment applications, climatic and geologic factors, traffic volume, and pavement structures on pavement performance. Gaps in knowledge about pavement failure modes, distress data, and effectiveness of treatment applications mentioned in the contracts database file hampered efforts to form a complete picture of the effectiveness of treatment options and their timely (or untimely) application. Similarly, details about pavement mixture design and differentiating factors between companion sites prevented researchers from narrowing down the causes leading to the observed pavement distress.
