A preferred vision for administering secondary schools : a reflective essay

The successful school administrator needs to be a finely-honed instrument at the center of the education process. The administrator must be sensitive to needs of the entire efforts, as well as providing direction, vision, innovative ideas, support, reinforcement, and expertise for the complete educational effort. The unity of purpose in education will proceed as a team effort, knocking down obstacles and building outstanding educational competencies in the process

Shifting towards community-building in opening up FabLabs for non-expert users

In the early days of Fablabs and other digital fabrication spaces (e.g. hackerspaces, makerspaces), these community spaces that offer public, shared access to high-end manufacturing equipment (e.g. 3D-printers, laser cutters) were often described as having the democratizing potential to empower everyone as future makers. However, research showed that non-expert users are often impeded to engage in such spaces due to various challenges (among other things, the unfamiliarity of available tools and machines, a lack of skills and experience). By describing a case study in which we elucidate different strategies that were used to engage non-expert users in FabLab [anonymized], this paper focuses on the mediating role of the design researchers who be

Theoretische Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus und zur Diastereoselektivität von NO3-induzierten selbstterminierenden, oxidativen Radikalcyclisierungen

Radikalische 5-exo-Cyclisierungen sind aufgrund ihrer in der Regel gut nach dem Beckwith-Houk- Modell vorhersagbaren Diastereoselektivität in der organisch-chemischen Synthese immer beliebter geworden. Eins der jüngeren Beispiele ist die durch das NO3-Radikal induzierte selbstterminierende, oxidative Radikalcyclisierungskaskade, deren sehr hohe Diastereoselektivität aber oft der Vorhersage widerspricht. Der Mechanismus und die hohe Diastereoselektivität dieser Radikalcyclisierungskaskade wurden mit ab initio und Dichtefunktional-Methoden detailliert untersucht. Die Geometrien verschiedener Konformere von reaktiven Zwischenstufen und Übergangszuständen, insbesondere des 1,5- Wasserstoffatomtransfers (1,5-HAT) und der 5-exo-Cyclisierung, sowie Aktivierungsenergien und Reaktionsenthalpien wurden mit verschieden theoretischen Methoden berechnet, um die Konfiguration der Stereozentren vorhersagen zu können. Des Weiteren wurden tiefere Einblicke in die Struktur alkylsubstituierter NO3-Vinylradikale, sowie in die Leistung verschiedener Hybrid-Dichtefunktionale bei der Berechnung der Struktur des NO3-Radikals erhalten

Diálogos democráticos que fazem funcionar as cidades

The field of Strategic Design supports designers in researching and designing for the complexity of today’s cities by embracing the idea of strategic dialogue, in which designers align with different actors and their interests. In this article, we discuss how democratic dialogues – foregrounded in the Participatory Design (PD) tradition – play a role in complex urban design processes (i.e. ‘infrastructuring’) and entail different types of dialogues of which strategic dialogue is merely one. After framing Strategic Design and PD, we describe five designer roles and their associated dialogues. This description forms the basis of an exploratory typology of democratic dialogues that was applied and exemplified in a case study about a Living Lab in the neighbourhood of Genk. The Lab attempts to design alternative futures for work in the city together with citizens, public and private organisations. We claim that engaging with this typology allows designers to understand and design infrastructuring processes in the urban context and to open up different design dialogues and roles for discussion.Keywords: democratic dialogues, living lab, urban context, designer roles, infrastructuring.O campo do design estratégico apoia o trabalho de designers que pesquisam e projetam para a complexidade das cidades de hoje. De fato, ao abraçar a ideia do diálogo estratégico, os designers se alinham com diferentes atores e seus interesses. Neste artigo, discutimos como diálogos democráticos – que estão em primeiro plano na tradição do Design Participativo (PD) – são relevantes em processos complexos de design urbano (ou seja, de “infraestruturação”) e implicam diferentes tipos de diálogos, entre os quais o diálogo estratégico é apenas um. Depois de enquadrar Design Estratégico e PD, descrevemos cinco papéis do designer e seus relativos diálogos. Esta descrição constitui a base de uma tipologia exploratória de diálogos democráticos que foi aplicada e exemplificada em um estudo de caso sobre um Living Lab, no bairro de Genk. O Lab tenta projetar futuros alternativos para o trabalho na cidade, juntamente com os cidadãos, organizações públicas e privadas. Afirmamos que se envolver com esta tipologia permite que os designers entendam e projetem processos de infraestruturação no contexto urbano e se abram para diferentes diálogos de design e papéis para a discussão.Palavras-chave: diálogos democráticos, living lab, contexto urbano, papéis do designer, infraestruturação
