No full textOppdragsgiver: Strand kirkelige fellesrådForsommeren 2013 ble det på forespørsel av kirkevergen i Strand kommune, Trond
Hjorteland, foretatt en tilstandsvurdering og utarbeidelse av kostnadsoverslag på behandling av Strand kirkens prekestol, galleribrystning og et mannsportrett. Vurderingen ble utført av malerikonservatorene Anne Ytterdal og Hilde Smedstad Moore, begge Arkeologisk museum, Universitetet i Stavanger (AM-UiS). Notat fra befaringen med kostnadsoverslag ble sendt Strand kirkelige fellesråd 05.07.13. Utprøving av materialer og metoder på prekestolen ble også foretatt på samme tidspunkt av de samme konservatorene.
I november 2015 ble AM-UiS bedt av kirkevergen i Strand om å gjennomføre behandlingen av prekestolen og galleribrystningen. Behandlingsforslag for prekestol og galleribrystning ble forelagt RA henholdsvis 17. desember 2015 og 2. mai 2016. Forslagene ble godkjent av RA 22. januar og 9. juni 2016. Arbeidet med prekestolen ble utført fra slutten av januar til medio mars 2016. Arbeidet med galleribrystning ble startet opp i mars samme år og arbeidet ble gjennomført over flere perioder og avsluttet desember 2016
Planning policy instruments for resilient urban redevelopment: The case of office conversions in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
No full textThis chapter considers resilient urban redevelopment as the ability of public and private stakeholders to respond to changes in real estate market demand by adopting existing offices to new usages. It explores the various conceptual planning policy instruments that could assist in realising resilient urban redevelopment. Additionally, the effectiveness of such planning policy instruments is demonstrated by case study examples from the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The effectiveness of achieving urban resilience through office conversions based on the use of policy instruments is a difficult and complex matter to assess. The Rotterdam covenant, in terms of discipline, is in the ‘legal’ policy instrument category. The chapter concludes with some comparative case study lessons for policymakers and general conclusions for research on resilient urban redevelopment.Accepted Author ManuscriptUrban Development ManagementReal Estate ManagementBuilding La

Conversion Potential Assessment Tools
No full textBuilding owners and other stakeholders can adopt different strategies to cope with vacancy, such as consolidation, rent reduction, selling the building, renovation, transformation and conversion to adapted reuse, or demolish and build a new building. This chapter discusses various tools to cope with vacancy by adaptive reuse. It presents an overview of the many factors and aspects that enable or hinder adaptive reuse by conversion of (office) buildings into housing, and how to assess the characteristics of the market, location, building and involved stakeholders. Furthermore, it presents the Conversion Meter, a tool to assess the conversion potential of vacant office buildings into housing. The tool is built up from a first quick scan using veto criteria (Step 1) till a more detailed scan of the conversion potential based on gradual criteria (Step 2). No single gradual criterion is sufficient to decide if conversion is possible or not; it is the combination of all criteria i.e. the sum that provides a valuable indicator for the conversion potential. Step 3 calculates a conversion potential score as a weighted sum of all criteria. Step 4 is a scan on financial feasibility. The final Step 5 is a check on possible risks and opportunities to eliminate these risks. The chapter continues with lessons learned from case studies by applying the Conversion Meter.Accepted Author ManuscriptDesign & Construction ManagementReal Estate Managemen
Malinche, by Hilde Krüger. Towards a Breakdown of the Founding Myth in 1940s Mexico
No full textEl presente trabajo aborda un breve ensayo de la actriz y escritora alemana Hilde Krüger titulado Malinche o El Adiós a los Mitos (1944). En una época en la que el mito de la Malinche traidora convive con una reivindicación del papel histórico de la traductora de Cortés, Krüger, al igual que otras escritoras contemporáneas, defiende abiertamente a su protagonista, pero además reinterpreta el término “Malinche” recuperando el sentido que los indígenas dieron al mismo en el siglo XVI. Para nuestra autora, Marina y Cortés conforman un ser mítico, “Malinche”, que anuncia a los aztecas el fin de su mundo.This paper deals with a short essay by the German actress and writer Hilde Krüger entitled Malinche; Or, Farewell to Myths (1944). At a time when the myth of the traitor Malinche coexists with a vindication of the historical role of Cortés’ translator, Krüger, like other contemporary women writers, defends her protagonist in an open way, but she also reinterprets the term “Malinche”, recovering the meaning that the indigenous people gave to it in the 16th century. For our author, Marina and Cortés form a mythical creature, “Malinche”, who announces to the Aztecs the end of their world

Refitting Vacancy for the Creative Industry: A Strategy to Create and Maintain a Creative Community
No full textThe high vacancy rate in the office building market in the Netherlands is mainly explained by an overproduction of office space. The demand is expected to decrease further due to aging of the population, a changing economy and the decreasing need for space. A possible new end-user is the creative industry. The different working standards of this industry lead to different use of office space than the large-scale offices of the production economy. Adaptive reuse can create a solution for the need of new accommodations in this part of the office market. In this research a strategy has been developed that explains which characteristics a vacant office building must meet to be reused for the creative industry, which facilities it must offer and how tenants should be selected and managed. The possibilities have been researched by a detailed literature research, three in-depth case studies with successful redevelopments for the creative industry in Eindhoven, Rotterdam and Amsterdam and interviews with several experts in practice.Design & Construction ManagementReal Estate Managemen

Mikrobiota, vekst og metabolismestudier av rekesalat pakket i modifisert atmosfære (MAP)
No full textMaten vi spiser er sjeldent steril og kan inneholde mikroorganismer som finnes naturlig i råvarene, eller ved at de tilføres under bearbeiding og produksjon. I noen tilfeller kan mikroorganismer føre til dårlig kvalitet i form av lukt og smak, forråtnelse og i noen tilfeller sykdom. Mat er et godt egnet vekstmedium for mikroorganismer, hvor indre faktorer som pH, vannaktivitet og tilsetningsstoffer påvirker vekst av mikroorganismer. Blant ytre faktorer er temperatur og atmosfære viktige og bestemmer i stor grad hvilke mikroorganismer som kan vokse. Vanlige Gram-negative kvalitetsforringende bakterier i kjølelagret mat inkluderer Pseudomonas spp. og Photobacterium spp., mens Gram-positive kvalitetsforringende bakterier i modifisert atmosfærepakket mat kan være ulike melkesyrebakterier (MSB). Melkesyrebakterier er naturlig tilstede i fermenterte produkter og produserer hovedsakelig melkesyre ved fermentering av karbohydrater. I produkter hvor disse karakteristikaene ikke er ønsket kan det føre til en uakseptabel endring av produktet.
I denne studien ble en norskprodusert modifisert atmosfærepakket rekesalat og ingrediensene fra tre ulike produksjoner analysert og sammenlignet gjennom holdbarhetstiden. Prøvene ble analysert for celletall, karbohydrater og organiske syrer (HPLC), pH og identifisering av isolat ved Sanger sekvensering og mikrobielle samfunn ved bruk av Illumina sekvensering. Resultatet viste at det var forskjell i den mikrobielle sammensetningen i rekesalat fra de tre produksjonene. Spesielt produksjon 2 og 3 hadde en høyere vekst av MSB, og en dominans av Pediococcus parvulus gjennom holdbarhetstiden. Produksjon 1 hadde derimot en dominans av Periweissella fabalis/ghanensis, men Ped. parvulus var også tilstede.
Metabolismeforsøket ved bruk av HPLC og måling av pH viste forskjeller i omsetning av karbohydrater og produksjon av organiske syrer. Produksjon 2 og 3 hadde høyest innhold av maltose ved uke 0 og høyest produksjon av melkesyre med ca. 2700 ppm og 3000 ppm ved uke 7. Dette førte til en nedgang i pH i produksjon 2 og 3 fra ca. pH 4,8 og 4,7 til pH 4,4 og 4,2 mot slutten av holdbarhetstiden. Produksjon 1 hadde høyere innhold av glukose og fruktose i uke 0, men en lavere omsetning og dermed mindre produksjon av melkesyre (fra ca. 250 ppm i uke 0 til ca. 750 ppm i uke 7) som resulterte i at pH lå i området pH 4,8 og 4,7 gjennom hele holdbarhetstiden.
Resultatet fra denne studien tyder på at produksjon av melkesyre i rekesalat i stor grad påvirkes av tilgjengelig substrat i kombinasjon med hvilke mikroorganismer som dominerer. Hvilke mikroorganismer som er tilstede i ingrediensene, samt hvilke karbohydrater de bidrar med vil dermed sannsynligvis ha stor betydning for veksten av bakterier i ferdig produkt.The food we consume is rarely sterile and may contain microorganisms that occur naturally in the raw materials or are introduced during processing and production. In some cases, these microorganisms can lead to poor quality such as of bad odour and taste, spoilage, and even illness. Food is a suitable growth medium for microorganisms, where intrinsic factors such as pH, water activity and additives affect the growth of microorganisms. Among extrinsic factors, temperature and atmosphere are essential and they largely determine which microorganisms that may grow. Common Gram-negative spoilage bacteria in cold stored food include Pseudomonas spp. and Photobacterium spp., while Gram-positive spoilage bacteria in modified atmosphere packaged food include various lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Lactic acid bacteria are naturally present in fermented food products and produce lactic acid by fermentation of carbohydrates. In products where these characteristics are not desired, these bacteria can lead to unacceptable changes in the food.
In this study, a Norwegian-produced modified atmosphere packaged shrimp salad and the ingredients from three different productions were analysed and compared through their shelf life. The samples were analysed for cell count, carbohydrates and organic acids (HPLC), pH, identification of isolates by Sanger sequencing, and microbial communities using Illumina sequencing. The results showed that there were differences in the microbial composition of shrimp salat from the three productions. Specifically, production 2 and 3 had a higher growth of LAB and a dominance of Pediococcus parvulus throughout the shelf life. For production 1, on the other hand, Periweissella fabalis/ghanensis was the dominant bacteria, however Ped. parvulus was also present.
By investigating the metabolism using HPLC and pH, the analysis showed a difference in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the production of organic acids. Production 2 and 3 had the highest content of maltose and the highest production of lactic acid of approximately 2700 ppm and 3000 ppm at week 7. This led to a lower pH in production 2 and 3 from approx. pH 4,8 and 4,7 to pH 4,4 and 4,2 towards the end of their shelf life. Production 1 had a higher content of glucose and fructose at week 0, but a lower metabolization of carbohydrates and thus, less production of lactic acid (from 250 ppm in week 0 to 750 ppm in week 7), resulting in a pH around 4,8 and 4,7 throughout the entire shelf life.
The results of this study suggest that the production of lactic acid in shrimp salad is largely influenced by the substrates available in combination with the dominating microorganisms. Therefore, the microorganisms that are present in the ingredients, as well as the carbohydrates they contribute, will likely have a significant impact on the growth of bacteria in the final product
