The ideological construction of new urbanism in Melrose Arch : a critical analysis
Get PDFDissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2007.This study examines the manifestation of New Urbanism in the South African environment and applies the themes, characteristics and principles of New Urbanism to the landscape of Melrose Arch in Johannesburg. This precinct has been developed according to New Urban principles, and it is the aim of the author to assess whether these principles have been applied successfully, keeping in mind that since New Urbanism is an American design movement, some of its principles may be impractical to apply in a South African environment. In order to conceptualise the environment in which the analysis takes place, the author sketches a background of the origin and history of Johannesburg, including the development of the city centre and rise of the suburbs. Trends such as decentralisation and gentrification are also recognised and examined. A correlation is drawn between the Johannesburg of a few decades ago and the contemporary city to see how events and tendencies created the city of today. The current initiatives that are being undertaken to reinvent the CBD and other areas of the city are considered as well, in order to provide a context for Melrose Arch. The author also briefly examines the origin and history of leisure landscapes such as arcades, world fairs and expositions, shopping malls and themed landscapes. The purpose is not to give exact timelines and histories of these phenomena, but rather to provide a historic foundation to work from in order to sketch the context wherein developments such as Melrose Arch can be situated. The author examines the predecessors of and influences on New Urbanism in an attempt to understand this movement. Starting with the Classical Reformers and the concept of the Ideal City, a common theme runs through several other development theories, such as Garden Cities, Pedestrian Cities, as well as the more recent Edge Cities. The influence of Sprawl on cities is noted, and measures to reduce the occurrence of sprawling land by implementing solutions that are connected to New Urbanism are discussed. The author discusses the inception of New Urbanism, taking into account all the previous discussed development theories that influenced it in one way or another. Additionally, some variations on New Urbanism, such as Traditional Neighbourhood development (TND) and the Pedestrian Pocket (PP) are discussed. New Urbanism is thus placed in a contemporary context by regarding its history and influences. The application to Melrose Arch includes a brief history of this landscape, as well as its architecture and the articulation of space within the precinct. Some themes evident in Melrose Arch are discussed; many of these are based on popular myths and ideologies and how they are represented in this particular space. Issues such as Security and control, Class and status, Consumption and Utopianism are discussed and applied to Melrose Arch. Finally, the principles and characteristics of New Urbanism are applied to Melrose Arch in order to assess how successful the implementation of New Urbanism is in this precinct.Visual ArtsMAunrestricte
Procedimiento metodológico para toma de decisiones en Redes de Distribución: Caso Trasbordo
No full textExiste una amplia bibliografía especializada en el área de la Investigación de Operaciones y en general de la Matemática Aplicada siendo mucho los autores que han escrito sus experiencias académicas e investigativas en este campo. La mayoría de los mismos provienen de economías robustas de países del primer mundo con enfoques renovadores pero que en ocasiones se apartan de las realidades existentes en nuestros pueblos que poseen otras condiciones económicas, políticas y sociales que influyen a la hora de aplicar algunas de las técnicas ya establecidas. Las prioridades a la hora de escoger los problemas para su solución que desencadenan en la existencia de un banco de problemas son un elemento diferenciador en nuestro caso y que constituye un factor importante, entre otras, para estimular al autor del presente trabajo en la selección de la temática abordada.
En él, el autor deja establecido los vínculos existentes entre la temática abordada, el perfil del Ingeniero Industrial y la frecuencia con que estos problemas golpean a nuestras organizaciones y cómo en los momentos actuales constituye un catalizador y no un freno en la aplicación de estas herramientas para los procesos de toma de decisiones. El estudio de las Redes de Distribución y la aparición de casos especiales generan una gran diversidad de problemas con un grado elevado de realismo y un mayor rigor metodológico, existiendo un mayor interés por no dejar nada al azar en su explotación y diseño.
Cabe destacar el enfoque práctico que el autor ha sabido darle, a partir del caso integrador presentado, logrando un procedimiento metodológico para abordar con mayor eficiencia problemas de Distribución, dando respuestas a nuevas situaciones de la realidad objetiva cubana. El trabajo no sólo genera conocimientos sino que brinda nuevas oportunidades al dejar abiertas interrogantes que constituyen ideas centrales para nuevos trabajos investigativos.There is an extensive bibliography specialized in the area of Operations Research and in general of Applied Mathematics being many authors who have written their academic and research experiences in this field. Most of them come from robust economies of countries of the first world with renovating approaches but sometimes depart from the realities existing in our peoples that have other economic, political and social conditions that influence when applying some of the techniques Already established. The priorities in choosing the problems for their solution that trigger in the existence of a problem bank are a differentiating element in our case and that constitutes an important factor, among others, to stimulate the author of the present work in the selection of the subject.
In it, the author establishes the existing links between the topic addressed, the profile of the Industrial Engineer and the frequency with which these problems hit our organizations and how at the present time it is a catalyst and not a brake on the application of these tools For decision-making processes. The study of Distribution Networks and the appearance of special cases generate a great diversity of problems with a high degree of realism and a greater methodological rigor, being a greater interest to leave nothing to chance in its exploitation and design.
It is worth mentioning the practical approach that the author has been able to give, starting from the integrating case presented, achieving a methodological procedure to deal more efficiently with distribution problems, giving answers to new situations of Cuban objective reality. Work not only generates knowledge but also offers new opportunities by leaving open questions that are central ideas for new research work.non-publishe
Improving L&D nurses’ emergency response through implementation of biweekly simulation
No full textPurpose: Due to reports about patients' adverse outcomes and malpractice cases in the United States, there is an immediate need for inexperienced staff education and training. This quality improvement project aimed to implement frequent obstetric simulations to enhance novice nurses' self-efficacy.
Methodology: This quality improvement project was conducted in a labor and delivery unit located in a large teaching hospital in central New Jersey. Participants were selected with the help of the perinatal educator and the unit's manager. Bandura's General Self-Efficacy Scale Survey was distributed to all participants before and after the simulations. Results were stored in RedCap and analyzed using SPSS through Rutgers University. At the end of the project, the investigators were able to see if nurses feel more confident about their emergency response during obstetric emergencies.
Results: Ten participants were invited to participate in the project; seven were enrolled. The mean Bandura's General Self-Efficacy Scale Survey scores had a 2.55-point increase when comparing pre-intervention and post-intervention scores, indicating increased self-efficacy. The Paired T-test was used to compare means from pre-and post-survey for each simulation. No statistically significant results were found, but the clinical results were significant, without a doubt.
Implications: Institutions like hospitals can and should implement frequent in situ simulations to enhance staff self-efficacy and increase rapid response to emergency and life-threatening situations, leading to improved patient outcomes and reduced malpractice and medical errors.D.N.P.Includes bibliographical reference
Leadership succession as an aspect of organizational sustainability in complementary schools in England
Get PDFThe article explores leadership succession as an aspect of organizational sustainability in complementary schools in England as an example of how schools in precarious circumstances seek to ensure their survival and growth. The schools provide part time education outside of mainstream, state-funded school systems in many countries. Often established by migrant and minority ethnic groups to teach language, culture, religion and/or to consolidate state school learning, a lack of resources can threaten their stability and development. Using concepts from organizational sustainability and leadership succession planning, we analyse data collected from seven Brazilian and Chinese complementary school leaders in England. Our focus on the little researched context of complementary schools adds to the understanding of leading and managing in distinctive and challenging circumstances. Their inclusion in the debates and research can foster different insights into the ways that schools in diverse and challenging contexts seek to ensure their survival and growth.© 2018, The Author(s), published by Australian Council for Educational Leaders.
