The Children\u27s Community Center

We are the Children’s Community Center, a NGO thats wants to provide an emergency response to the new surge of Rohingya refugee children. We want to relieve the daily mental traumas of the refugee camps through the collaborative interaction of the different children within the camps. This center will also give parents the space to focus on their own healing without the preoccupation of childcare. Nexus Maximus IV The Challenge: Innovation for Refugees and Displaced Populations One of the great challenges of our time is how to help refugees and displaced populations, and how to prevent the causes in the first place. Every minute, 24 people around the world are forced to flee their homes. That’s 34,000 people a day who leave everything behind in the hope of finding safety and a better tomorrow. The impact of war, political, racial and religious conflict, and environmental crises of famine and climate change, have caused great suffering and there is a great opportunity to do better. The issues these populations and the countries who receive them face are diverse and complex. They include public health, housing/built environment, cultural integration, public safety, employment/economic and more. How can innovation address these challenges? How do we create the social systems and products to support a healthy, safe and integrated program for refugees? How do we address the physical, emotional, and social needs of refugees to restore hope and opportunity? The solutions may be as far ranging as the challenges, exploring the acute needs during a crisis, as well as the chronic needs of the permanently displaced; looking at immigration and adjustments to new cultures. We encourage participants to draw upon all disciplines, from health professions to architecture, engineering to design, ethics, communication and every way of thinking we have, to find better ways to innovate on physical solutions, processes, policies, systems, and more.

Designing and Managing Change in the CGIAR: Report to the Mid-Term Meeting 2001

Report of the CGIAR Change Design and Management Team (CDMT) presented at the 2001 Mid Term Meeting in Durban, South Africa. Report recommendations prescribed: Adoption of a programmatic approach to research finance and management, beginning with the establishment of between two and four Global Challenge Programs to promote collaboration between Centers and to expand partnerships with and develop the capacities of national and regional partners, including GFAR;Transformation of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) into a Science Council, responsible for ensuring the quality and relevance of CGIAR science and providing Systemwide advice on science policy, but with TAC's current responsibilities for management-related functions devolving to a new Executive Council;Creation of an Executive Council to subsume the current functions of the Finance and Oversight committees in addition to the management-related functions of TAC;Transformation of the CGIAR Secretariat into a System Office with a communications function integrating the existing Secretariat Communications team and Future HarvestCombination of the annual Mid Term Meetings and International Centers Weeks into a single Annual General MeetingA comprehensive fund raising and outreach effort to identify potential investors and expand the financial participation of developing countrie

Website Design in Applied Management Institutions Trustco Using Macromedia Flash Mx

In scientific writing, the author makes LMT TRUSTCO website using MacromediaFlash MX. This program created with the aim of helping the user get informationabout TRUSTCO.

Design for waste-management system

Study was made and system defined for water-recovery and solid-waste processing for low-rise apartment complexes. System can be modified to conform with unique requirements of community, including hydrology, geology, and climate. Reclamation is accomplished by treatment process that features reverse-osmosis membranes

Design methodology in management consulting

In dit proefschrift staat de studie van bedrijfskundige ontwerppraktijken centraal, in het bijzonder in het domein van het organisatie-advieswerk. De probleemstelling is: Welke beargumenteerd productieve strategieën hanteren competente organisatie-adviseurs om bedrijfskundige ontwerpen te creëren?Deze vraag wordt beantwoord in vier stappen. Eerst wordt een theoretisch raamwerk geconstrueerd bestaande uit een schets van de ontwikkeling van de bedrijfskundige ontwerpliteratuur, een achtergrondperspectief over hoe de wereld in elkaar zit waarin ontwerpers leven en werken, en een vocabulaire om ontwerppraktijken en praktijkgebaseerde methodologie te kunnen beschrijven. De tweede stap is het karakteriseren van het domein waarbinnen ontwerppraktijken bestudeerd worden: het organisatie-advieswerk. De derde stap is de empirische exploratie van bedrijfskundige ontwerppraktijken, waarvoor een mix van kwantitatieve en kwalitatieve methoden gebruikt is, te weten een enquete onder Nederlandse adviseurs en een serie diepte-interviews met 24 zeer goede organisatie-adviseurs, die op basis van de enqueteresultaten geselecteerd zijn. In deze empirische studie worden de praktijken van adviseurs geëxploreerd, gebaseerd op het theoretisch raamwerk dat in de eerste stap is geconstrueerd. Een belangrijk aandachtspunt in deze exploratie geldt de eventuele rol van stappenplannen, met de bedoeling om de uitgangsdiagnose van dit onderzoek te testen en verder uit te werken, en om de daadwerkelijke rol van stappenplannen in ontwerppraktijken te achterhalen. De vierde en laatste stap in het onderzoek is het formuleren van productieve ontwerpstrategieën

Design project 1968/9: management report

1. INTRODUCTION The design of an automatic assembly machine with versatility in application was undertaken as a group project by post-graduate students attending a course in production technology. This report summarises the work clone and conclusions reached during the project. In addition there are available five other reports which describe the designing of different areas of the machine in full detail (refs. 1 to 6). There is also the report of a technical survey which was carried out to investigate industrial requirements for automatic assembly. In order that this report may serve as a guide, a summary of the content of each of the other reports is included

MobiThin management framework: design and evaluation

In thin client computing, applications are executed on centralized servers. User input (e.g. keystrokes) is sent to a remote server which processes the event and sends the audiovisual output back to the client. This enables execution of complex applications from thin devices. Adopting virtualization technologies on the thin client server brings several advantages, e.g. dedicated environments for each user and interesting facilities such as migration tools. In this paper, a mobile thin client service offered to a large number of mobile users is designed. Pervasive mobile thin client computing requires an intelligent service management to guarantee a high user experience. Due to the dynamic environment, the service management framework has to monitor the environment and intervene when necessary (e.g. adapt thin client protocol settings, move a session from one server to another). A detailed performance analysis of the implemented prototype is presented. It is shown that the prototype can handle up to 700 requests/s to start the mobile thin client service. The prototype can make a decision for up to 700 monitor reports per second

Performance management at design actvity level

The overriding aim of much of the engineering design research is to improve the performance of the design process, and consequently the product development process. Much has been written within the product development literature on the performance of the product development process. This work has been largely focused on the analysis of performance at the project or program level. The ability to relate the different research and draw generic lessons from the results has been stifled by the lack of consistency on the meaning of performance both at a generic level [2] and more specifically in design/development [3]. For example, although product and process performance have been distinguished within existing work we are unclear on how these relate or may be managed effectively. This paper begins with a brief review of research in the area of performance, with particular emphasis on design/product development, highlighting the main weaknesses in work to date. A fundamental and generic model of performance, related to knowledge based activities in design, is then presented. The model describes performance in terms of its key elements, efficiency and effectiveness, and provides a basis for modelling performance across different process levels, i.e. project, program, etc
