Methodology for Creating a FairShares Lab (Full Report)
Welcome to the full version of the first intellectual output (IO1) of the Erasmus+ project FairShares Labs for Social and Blue Innovation Project (Project 2016-1-DE02-KA204-003397). IO1 has been prepared by project partners to describe their methodology for creating FairShares Labs. Work started in Erfurt, Germany (7-9 December 2016) and has been discussed in three further transnational meetings in Sheffield (26-28 June 2017), Berlin (27-28 August 2017) and Osijek (20-22 Feb 2018).
In this document, we set out the purpose of IO1.
This document provides any person involved in the creation and development of a FairShares Lab (partners, coordinators, trainers and advisers) with an overview of the methodology for creating their lab. This includes an account of the FairShares Model itself as well as processes for setting up, recruiting people to and marketing a FairShares Lab, and supporting lab participants as they incubate new FairShares enterprises and contribute to building an ecosystem for FairShares.
Section 1 provides background information and an overview of the methodology. Section 2 provides an overview of five elements of a FairShares Lab. Three elements come from the FairShares Model of social enterprise development (created by FairShares Association Ltd) - values and principles; key questions and; legal choices. The other two elements are social and technical support systems selected by the partners for this project. Social support is provided through learning and development methods (elaborated further in Section 3). These generate ideas, improve the effectiveness of team work and enable stakeholders to make decisions together. In Section 4, we examine the process of establishing a lab, inviting people to it, running activities, selecting projects, producing prototypes of goods and services, planning and incorporating (social) enterprises. In Section 5, we consider the marketing of FairShares Labs, who they are for, what needs they serve, what messages should be communicated to target groups (and future lab organisers)
Program Review Self-Study Emergency Management 2016
Internal program reviews are conducted by the Academic Planning Council (APC) and are an integral part of UNOâs assessment and planning processes for the unit, college, and University. The review process is designed to monitor the quality and assist in the ongoing development of UNOâs academic programs and units.
Every academic program offered at UNO will be reviewed at least once within a seven-year cycle. The reviews are conducted routinely and are coordinated with the review reports prepared for the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education (CCPE).
For programs with external accreditation the UNO review process may be coordinated to minimize a need for duplication. In some cases the APC review process has been used to prepare for an external accreditation review. If the external process and related self-study do not fully address the criteria required in the APC review, additional documentation will be supplied by the academic program/unit.
UNOâs academic program review is comprehensive and focuses on departmental/school units and encompasses all of the programs, both graduate and undergraduate (i.e., majors, certificates, general education courses, centers/institutes, service, etc.), as well as their research, service, and outreach activities
Modélisation d'une interaction systÚme-résident contextuelle, personnalisée et adaptative pour l'assistance cognitive à la réalisation des activités de la vie quotidienne dans les maisons connectées
Alors que le nombre de personnes vivant avec des dĂ©ficits cognitifs qui dĂ©coulent dâun traumatisme craniocĂ©rĂ©bral (TCC) va en croissant, les technologies dâassistance sont de plus en plus dĂ©veloppĂ©es pour rĂ©soudre les problĂšmes quâils induisent dans la rĂ©alisation des activitĂ©s de la vie quotidienne. LâInternet des objets et lâintelligence ambiante offrent un cadre pour fournir des services dâassistance sensibles au contexte, adaptatifs, autonomes et personnalisĂ©s pour ces personnes ayant des besoins particuliers. Une revue de la littĂ©rature sur le sujet permet de constater que les systĂšmes existants offrent trĂšs souvent une assistance excessive, quand lâaide contient plus dâinformation que nĂ©cessaire ou quand elle est fournie automatiquement Ă chaque Ă©tape de lâactivitĂ©. Cette assistance, inadaptĂ©e aux besoins et aux capacitĂ©s de la personne, est contraire Ă certains principes de la rĂ©adaptation cognitive qui prĂŽnent la fourniture dâune assistance minimale pour encourager la personne Ă agir au meilleur de ses capacitĂ©s. Cette thĂšse propose des modĂšles pour automatiser lâassistance cognitive sous forme de dialogue contextuel entre une personne ayant des dĂ©ficits cognitifs dus au TCC et un systĂšme lui fournissant lâassistance appropriĂ©e qui lâencourage Ă rĂ©aliser ses activitĂ©s par lui-mĂȘme. Les principales contributions sont : (1) un modĂšle ontologique comme support de lâassistance cognitive dans les maisons connectĂ©es ; (2) un modĂšle dâinteraction entre lâagent intelligent dâune maison connectĂ©e et une personne ayant subi un TCC, dans le cadre de lâassistance cognitive. Le modĂšle ontologique proposĂ© sâappuie sur les actes de langages et les donnĂ©es probantes de la rĂ©adaptation cognitive afin que lâassistance reflĂšte la pratique clinique. Il vise Ă fournir aux maisons intelligentes la sĂ©mantique des donnĂ©es nĂ©cessaires pour caractĂ©riser les situations oĂč il y a besoin dâassistance, les messages dâassistance de gradations diffĂ©rentes et les rĂ©actions de la personne. InformĂ© par le modĂšle ontologique, le modĂšle dâinteraction basĂ© sur des arbres de comportement (« behaviour trees ») permet alors Ă un agent intelligent de planifier dynamiquement la diffusion de messages dâassistance progressifs avec des ajustements si nĂ©cessaire, en fonction du profil et du comportement du rĂ©sident de la maison connectĂ©e lors de lâaccomplissement de ses activitĂ©s. Une validation prĂ©liminaire montre lâapplicabilitĂ© des modĂšles dans lâimplĂ©mentation de scĂ©narios relatifs Ă lâutilisation sĂ©curitaire dâune cuisiniĂšre connectĂ©e dĂ©diĂ©e aux personnes ayant subi un TCC
