A gestão da propriedade intelectual nos Institutos Federais : ações para construção de uma cultura de propriedade intelectual no âmbito do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de PernambucoLoureiro, Rodrigo Nogueira Albert 20 January 2016 (has links)
The Professional and Technological Education is a centuries-old modality teaching in Brazil, dated 1909 with the signing of decree 7566, by President Nilo Peçanha, through by historical process of evolution with the conversion to Federal Technical Schools (FTS) and Federal Centers of Technological Education (FCTE). Since 2008 with publication of Law 11892 the Brazilian Professional and Technological Education gets new status by creation of Federal Professional Education Network (FPEN) and Federal Institutes of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (FIs). The FIs provides education in diverse levels of teaching, offering high, middle and professional education, emphasizing professional and technological education (BRAZIL 2008). Institutes also encourage applied research at development of technical and technological solutions; entrepreneurship; and scientific and technological development directed to innovation processes. In 2004, concerning innovation, was publicated the Law 10973, known as the Innovation Act, which determines through Art.16 that all Scientific and Technological Institutions (STI) should have an Innovation Center (NIT) which to manage the institution's innovation policy. Besides, the Innovation Law stipulates that ICT's, through the NIT and annually to inform the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation by the "Form for Information on Intellectual Property Policy Scientific and Technological Institutions of Brazil" (FORMICT), the applied and granted protection, licensing agreements and transfer performed, in addition to questions about the level of implementation of the NIT. Now, all thirty-eight FIs have a NIT established, however, this was not a determining factor in the expansion of protection of intellectual property (IP) from some of these Institutes. FORMICT 2014 data showed that the thirty-seven FIs who filled out that form, less than half reported having done some kind of protection for their inventions. In the context of RFEPCT, the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Pernambuco Technology (FIEP) implemented your NIT in 2010 and in 2013 held its first IP protection from reformulation of actions taken by the referred core. Currently, the FIEP has thirteen patents filed at the National Institute of Industrial Property (NIIP), and three records of software and a brand. In this context, this research came from the motivation and interest in understanding the relationship between innovation management actions that resulted in a higher IP protection under the FIEP. As well as goals to achieve this purpose, we have: to present an overview of the implementation of NITs that reflects the situation of IP protection of IFs; map the actions of management of the NIT IFPE innovation; as well as to assess these actions on the user's perspective. / A Educação Profissional e Tecnológica é uma modalidade de ensino centenária no Brasil, datada de 1909 com a assinatura do decreto 7.566, do então Presidente Nilo Peçanha, passando por um processo de evolução ao longo de sua história com a conversão para as Escolas Técnicas Federais (ETFs) e os Centros Federais de Educação Tecnológica (CEFETs). A partir de 2008 com a promulgação da Lei 11.892 a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica brasileira ganha novo status, com a criação da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica (RFEPCT) e a concepção dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs). Os IFs possuem a premissa de fornecer educação nas mais diversas modalidades de ensino, com ênfase na educação profissional e tecnológica. Os Institutos ainda carregam o dever de estimular a pesquisa aplicada no desenvolvimento de soluções técnicas e tecnológicas; o empreendedorismo; e o desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico com vistas aos processos de inovação. Concernente a inovação, em 2004, foi promulgada a Lei 10.973, conhecida como Lei da Inovação, que determina, por meio de seu Art.16 que todas as Instituições Cientificas e Tecnológicas (ICT) devem dispor de um Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica (NIT), com a finalidade gerir a política de inovação da Instituição. A Lei da Inovação ainda determina que anualmente as ICT´s, por intermédio do NIT, informem ao Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação por meio do FORMICT, as proteções requeridas e concedidas, os contratos de licenciamento e transferência realizados, assim como questões acerca do nível de implementação do NIT. Atualmente, todos os trinta e oito IFs possuem um NIT instituído, no entanto, isso não se mostrou como fator determinante na ampliação da proteção à Propriedade Intelectual (PI) por parte de alguns desses Institutos. Dados do FORMICT 2014 mostraram que dos trinta e sete IFs que preencheram o referido formulário, menos da metade informaram ter realizado algum tipo de proteção dos seus inventos. No contexto da RFEPCT, encontra-se o Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (IFPE), cujo NIT foi implementado no ano de 2010, e apenas em 2013 realizou sua primeira proteção à PI, a partir de ações de reformulação realizadas pelo referido Núcleo. Atualmente, o IFPE possui treze patentes depositadas no Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI), além de três registros de softwares e uma marca. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa partiu da motivação e interesse em compreender as relações entre as ações de gestão de inovação que culminaram em uma maior proteção da PI no âmbito do IFPE. Assim, como metas para o alcance deste propósito, encontram-se: apresentar um panorama da implementação dos NITs que reflita a situação da proteção da PI dos IFs; mapear as ações de gestão da inovação do NIT do IFPE; bem como, avaliar estas ações na perspectiva do usuário. Por fim, o presente trabalho mostrou que o IFPE vem cumprindo sua função social e logrando êxito na conscientização de sua comunidade sobre a importância da proteção de seus inventos.

Previous issue date: 2012-10-24 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta dissertação estuda o papel do desenvolvimento tecnológico no capitalismo e consiste em revisão teórica baseada em duas linhas de pensamento, a análise de Karl Marx e a tese do capitalismo cognitivo segundo a proposição de Yann Moulier-Boutang. Além de apresentar como Marx explicitou a inovação tecnológica e suas consequências no processo de produção, analisa por que os pensadores do capitalismo cognitivo sustentam que o modo de produção, baseado nas novas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação, modifica o capitalismo. Dado a abrangência do assunto, foram adotados como elemento principal de análise os efeitos das tecnologias informacionais sobre o processo de trabalho e a valorização do capital. Neste ponto estudado verificou-se que essas teorias são convergentes quanto à centralidade do trabalho e divergentes quanto à compreensão do trabalho produtivo. Em Marx, é a força do trabalho que produz valor, e a exploração do tempo de trabalho excedente valoriza o capital; em Moulier-Boutang, o valor é resultado da exploração do trabalho imaterial e da força-invenção pelos cérebros conectados em rede de computadores, portanto, o conhecimento é considerado fator econômico / This dissertation approaches the role of technological development in capitalism. It consists in a theory review based on two lines of thought: Karl Marx s analysis and the thesis of cognitive capitalism according to Yann Moulier-Boutang s proposition. Besides presenting the way Marx viewed technological innovation and its consequences to the production process, this study analyzes why scholars of cognitive capitalism sustain that the mode of production, based on information and communication technologies, modifies capitalism. Given the broadness of this issue, the effects of information technologies on the labor process and valorization of capital were adopted as the main element in this study. Concerning this point, the study found those theories to converge in relation to centrality of labor, but to diverge in terms of understanding productive labor. For Marx, labor produces value, whereas the exploitation of exceeding labor-time values capital; for Moulier-Boutang, value is the result of exploiting immaterial labor and inventive-force, i.e. the computer-network brains. Therefore, knowledge is considered an economic factor

Previous issue date: 2018-08-22 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / O presente trabalho é fruto de pesquisa de dissertação de mestrado que teve como pano de fundo o fortalecimento da participação e do controle social na gestão do sistema único de saúde. O desenvolvimento da pesquisa está calcado no estudo de caso do Projeto Polo Institucional de Fortalecimento da Gestão Participativa do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), o PoloSUS. O PoloSUS é fruto de uma pareceria entre a Secretaria de Gestão Estratégica e Participativa do Ministério da Saúde (SGEP-MS) e a Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), através da Escola de Governo e Cidadania (EGC), com base na Política Nacional de Gestão Estratégica e Participativa do SUS (ParticipaSUS), tendo como principal objetivo a promoção do fortalecimento das políticas de gestão participativa no âmbito do SUS através da geração de conhecimentos e capacitação dos gestores públicos e lideranças sociais, congregando elementos de extensão, pesquisa e inovação tecnológica social. A parceria abrangeu 280 municípios subdivididos em 17 municípios-polo. A dissertação possui o objetivo de avaliar a eficácia de parcerias entre o Ministério da Saúde e entidades como as Universidades e ONG´s para a execução de políticas públicas, perquerindo quais os incentivos e obstáculos na realização dessas parcerias. A hipótese inicial é que o Governo busca essas parcerias para ter maior capilaridade no território e/ou por não ter toda a expertise requerida em seus quadros para a execução da política. Busca-se, ainda, avaliar se a entidade parceira, no presente estudo de caso, a UFJF, também possuía condições de executar os objetivos delineados no termo de convênio. Dessa maneira, almeja-se saber o que foi o PoloSUS, como funcionou – com suas conquistas e fracassos – e os eventuais efeitos gerados pelo projeto, através de entrevistas e utilização do estudo de caso fundado nas fases/ciclos de análise de políticas públicas. / The present workis the result of a dissertation research that had as background the strengthening of participation and social control in the management of the SUS. The research development is based on the case study of the Pole Institutional Project to Strengthen Participative Management of the Unified Health System (SUS), PoloSUS. PoloSUS is the result of a partnership between the Department of Strategic and Participatory Management of the Ministry of Health (SGEP-MS) and the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), through the School of Government and Citizenship (EGC), based on the National Policy on Strategic and Participatory Management of SUS (ParticipaSUS), with the main objective of promoting the strengthening of participatorymanagement policies within SUS, through the generation of knowledge and training of public managers and social leaders, gathering elements of extension, research and social technological innovation. The partnership covered 280 municipalities subdivided into 17 polo municipalities. The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the effectiveness of partnerships between the Ministry of Health and entities such as universities and NGOs for the implementation of public policies, and to identify the incentivesand obstacles in the implementation of these partnerships. The initial hypothesis is that the Government seeks these partnerships to have greater capillarity in the territory and / or to not have all the expertise required in its staff to carry out the policy. It is also sought to evaluate if the partner entity, in the present case study, the UFJF, also had the conditions to execute the objectives delineated in the term of agreement. In this way, it is desired to know what was the PoloSUS, how it worked -with its achievements and failures -and the possible effects generated by the project, through interviews and use of the case study based on the phases / cycles of public policy analysis.

Utilisation de deux outils hydroacoustiques pour analyser la dynamique migratoire du saumon atlantique (Salmo salar L.) dans deux fleuves de la baie du Mont-Saint-Michel / Analysis of the Atlantic salmon migration dynamic (Salmo salar L.) on two rivers of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay using hydroacoustic devicesMartignac, François 28 January 2016 (has links)
Le saumon atlantique (Salmo salar) est une espèce tant emblématique que menacée à l’échelle internationale, au même titre que la plupart des espèces de poissons diadromes. La présence de barrages, en entraînant une rupture de la continuité écologique des cours d’eau, participe à ce déclin. Le remplacement du barrage en porte à flot sur l’estuaire du Couesnon (Normandie, France) par un barrage procédant à des lâchers d’eau à l’étale de basse mer, est susceptible d’impacter l’abondance et la dynamique migratoire des saumons. Pour étudier les remontées de saumons adultes sur ce fleuve, un échosondeur à faisceau partagé a été installé en amont du barrage et a enregistré en continu tous les passages de saumons lors des périodes estivales de 2010 à 2014. L’hydroacoustique, méthode non intrusive et indépendante des conditions de turbidité de l’eau, permet l’acquisition d’informations difficilement accessibles par d’autres techniques. Pour évaluer la réelle influence du barrage sur les migraticours d’eau voisin dont l’estuaire est libre, à l’aide d’un outil hydroacoustique bénéficiant de larges innovations technologiques, une caméra acoustique DIDSON. Les méthodologies développées soulignent les avantages et les limites des deux outils, mettant en lumière le gain d’information apporté par les caméras acoustiques. L’interprétation des résultats met en évidence que si le fonctionnement du barrage n’impacte pas le maintien de la population sur ce fleuve, la dynamique migratoire des saumons y est modifiée. Cette étude souligne les grandes capacités d’adaptation des saumons atlantique / The Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is as emblematic as in a global decline, as most of the diadromous fish species. Dams have direct consequences on the river ecological continuity and indirect effects, such as the modification of the hydrological and hydrosedimentary dynamics which affects these populations. In Normandy (France), the Couesnon River’s estuary flood-gate dam has recently been replaced by a new dam proceeding to water releases at low tide stall. This functioning may decrease the salmon abundance or disturb their migration dynamic on this river. To study the dam influence, a split-beam echosounder has been settled upstream the dam and has recorded Philippe BOëTpermanently the salmon migrations during the summer period from 2010 to 2014. The hydroacoustic methods, non-intrusive and independent from the turbidity conditions, provide useful information, neither available nor quantifiable with other existing monitoring technics. To evaluate the disturbance of the estuarine damthe migration dynamic of the same species has also been monitored on a nearby river, the Sélune River, whose estuary is free-flowing. The hydroacoustic tool settled on this river, a DIDSON, belongs to the acoustic camera generation and benefits from recent technological improvements. The defined methodologies highlight the advantages and limits of both tools, revealing the information gain brought by the acoustic cameras. A dam functioning influence on the Atlantic salmon migration has been revealed, but no negative impact has been described on the salmon annual recruitment level. This study

[en] PLANNING PROCESSES IN TECHNOLOGICAL POLES: AN ADAPTIVE APPROACH / [pt] PROCESSOS DE PLANEJAMENTO NOS PÓLOS TECNOLÓGICOS UM ENFOQUE ADAPTATIVOMIGUEL DOMINGO GONZALEZ ALVAREZ 25 July 2002 (has links)
[pt] A presente tese tem por objetivo geral estudar os
processos de planejamento dos pólos tecnológicos,
envolvendo a articulação da temática específica desses
pólos e a perspectiva do planejamento, a busca de
elementos que propiciem a melhor compreensão da dinâmica
dos processos de planejamento dos pólos e o registro dos
resultados da experimentação de introdução de um modo de
planejamento apropriado para os pólos, aplicado em um
caso específico. Dadas as características da problemática
desses pólos, esse objetivo é delimitado, privilegiando-
se o enfoque do Planejamento Adaptativo. Nessa
perspectiva, ao longo do trabalho articula-se as
temáticas dos pólos e do planejamento. Inicialmente,
apresenta-se uma contextualização das mudanças
estruturais das últimas décadas da economia mundial, as
quais são associadas às mudanças organizacionais
e ao substancial aumento de cooperação entre agentes,
observado a partir da década de oitenta. Assim, os pólos
são vistos como uma dessas formas de cooperação. Em
seguida, discute-se a experiência internacional mais
representativa dos Science Parks, estabelecendo
suas origens, seus vários conceitos, sua evolução, seu
desempenho e as características comuns e distintivas
entre países. Em uma discussão mais ampla, aborda-se a
experiência brasileira dos pólos tecnológicos e de
modernização, estabelecendo elementos de comparação
com a experiência internacional discutida anteriormente.
A análise é aprofundada discutindo-se, a partir da
perspectiva do planejamento, a problemática envolvida no
desenvolvimento dos pólos brasileiros, apontando seus
altos níveis de complexidade, conflito e incerteza. O
Planejamento Adaptativo é discutido em um capítulo
especial, abrangendo a apresentação das suas raízes e das
suas tendências, quais sejam o Redesenho Normativo de
Sistemas e o Planejamento Não Sinóptico, e as
metodologias específicas compreendidas por essas
tendências. Discutem-se as implicações para o
planejamento dos pólos,que decorrem dessa análise,
confirmando-se que as abordagens do Planejamento
Adaptativo não Sinóptico são as mais apropriadas para
lidar com a problemática dos pólos. Aprofundando essa
análise, caracteriza-se o sistema geral que as entidades
gestoras dos pólos visam desenvolver, introduz-se o
conceito de espaços de intervenção do planejamento e
desenvolve-se um arcabouço para a avaliação no
espaço interno dessas entidades. O trabalho inclui uma
pesquisa exploratória e um estudo de caso, ambos
realizados focalizando iniciativas no Estado do Rio de
Janeiro. Na pesquisa exploratória, estudam-se as
iniciativas conduzidas pela Universidade Federal do Rio
de Janeiro e a Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de
Janeiro, estabelecendo-se elementos metodológicos para a
análise dos processos de planejamento envolvidos nas
incubadoras e parques tecnológicos. O estudo de caso é um
trabalho mais profundo, visando a introdução da
filosofia do Planejamento Adaptativo no desenvolvimento
do Parque de Alta Tecnologia do Norte Fluminense. As
conclusões da tese apontam que suas principais
contribuições decorrem da articulação das temáticas dos
pólos e do planejamento, estabelecendo bases para a
melhor compreensão da dinâmica dos processos de
planejamento dos pólos e fornecendo elementos
metodológicos e conceituais para a análise e
implementação do Planejamento Adaptativo. / [en] The general objective of this thesis is to study the
planning processes in technological poles, involving: 1)
the articulation of specific aspects of these poles and the
planning perspective; 2) the search of elements for a
better understanding of these processes dynamics and 3) the
registration of the results, in a specific case,of the
introduction of an appropriate planning mode for poles.
Given the poles characteristics, the Adaptive Planning
approach is adopted. First, the context of the structural
changes in the world economy is presented, associated to
organizational changes and to the increasing cooperation
among agents observed since the eighties.In this sense, the
poles are viewed as one form of cooperation.Next, the most
representative international experiences of Science
Parks are discussed, including their origins, concepts,
evolution and performance as well as the common and
distinctive characteristics of selected countries. In a
broad discussion, the Brazilian experience in modernization
and technological poles is analyzed, establishing
comparative elements with international experience.
Adaptive Planning is presented in a special chapter,
including its roots and its tendencies, namely, Normative
System Redesign and Non Synoptic Adaptive Planning, with
the specific methodologies they encompass. The analysis is
deepened with a discussion, from the planning viewpoint, of
the problems involved in the development of the Brazilian
poles, emphasizing their high degrees of conflict,
complexity and uncertainty. The discussion of the
analysis`results confirm that the Non Synoptic Adaptive
Planning tendency matches with the problems of poles. The
general system that the coordinating organization of the
pole aims to develop is characterized, the concept of
intervention spaces of planning is introduced and a
framework for evaluation at the internal space of
these organizations is developed. The thesis includes an
exploratory research and a case study, both focusing
initiatives in Rio de Janeiro State. The exploratory
research includes cases of technological poles in the
Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and the Pontificia
Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro,establishing
methodological elements for the analysis of the
planning processes involved in incubators and technology
parks. The case study aimed at introducting the Adaptive
Planning philosophy in the development of the Parque de
Alta Tecnologia do Norte Fluminense. Finally, the
conclusions of the thesis suggest that the major
contributions come from the articulation of the poles and
planning thematics, establishing a basis for a better
understanding of the dynamics in these planning processes
and providing methodological and conceptual elements for
the analysis and implementation of Adaptive Planning.

L'innovation technologique dans les contrats publics d'affaires / Technological innovation in public contractsLière, Sophie 30 January 2017 (has links)
Sous l’impulsion du droit de l’Union européenne, les contrats publics d’affaires ont vocation à promouvoir l’innovation technologique. Les objectifs multiples qui leur sont assignés, particulièrement l’ouverture à la concurrence, les empêche néanmoins d’être des vecteurs efficaces d’innovation, au stade de leur formation. Il appartient en revanche aux parties de construire leur relation contractuelle en tenant compte des caractéristiques de l’innovation, telles que l’évolutivité et la performance. C’est donc le contrat, comme instrument de prévision, qui représente un moyen efficace d’encouragement à innover. / Under the influence of European Union law, the « business public contracts » (i.e. contracts known as public procurement and concession contracts in EU law) are supposed to be a means of fostering technological innovation. However, the multiplicity of objectives assigned to these contracts, in particular the obligation of maintaining an open competition in awarding them, does not allow them to be an efficient tool for promoting innovation at their formation stage. It is the responsibility of the parties to take into account the main charasteristics of innovation, such as evolutivity and performance, to define their contractual relationships. The contract, taken as a means of anticipation, thus represents an efficient tool for promoting innovation.

Mobile Payment Use and Mobile Payment Transactions by Older Adults : A Qualitative StudyKolaki, Maria January 2017 (has links)
The research outlined in this thesis focuses on the effects of implementation and use of mobile payments as experienced by older adults aged 55-75, as qualitatively examined through research interviewees (hereafter participants of this study) made up of individuals with varying cultural and technological backgrounds, who are acclimated to Greece’s culture and have lived within the country for at least a decade. Their own perception and reception of the practice allows for a more comprehensive look into the practical application of the technology within the country. No empirical studies are available on the aforementioned topic, despite the high importance and need for such study. Therefore, this research is carried out through a literature review. It then analyzes two models namely technology acceptance model (TAM) and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. It applies a phenomenological research method and provides us with a more concise, contextualized background into the widespread application of m-payment and m-commerce within the country. This research contributes new knowledge to m-payment and m-commerce through theoretical and empirical research and benefits the interpretation of a recently emerging phenomenon. The research results are useful to various groups associated with mpayments and m-commerce. Future research directions concerning this phenomenon involve the reception and enhancement of m-payment methods by older adults.

Sistemi tecnologici innovativi di involucro per il recupero del patrimonio edilizio recente : l’edilizia scolastica nel comune di Bologna / Systèmes technologiques de façade innovants pour la rénovation du patrimoine bâticontemporain : les bâtiments scolaires à BologneMazzoli, Cecilia 08 June 2015 (has links)
Le projet de doctorat vise à présenter une nouvelle approche intégrée en support des opérateurs dans la gestion du processus de conception d'interventions de rénovation énergétique et architecturale du patrimoine bâti récent, grâce à l'emploie de solutions technologiques d'enveloppe innovantes. La recherche se fonde sur la collection d'un répertoire sélectionné des solutions architecturales et constructives d'enveloppe, nécessaire pour constituer une base valide sur laquelle étudier des solutions technologiques novatrices pour la réhabilitation énergétique des écoles dans l'après-guerre, en béton armé, généralement préfabriquées. Le projet identifie des processus constructifs éco-durables pour la conception des composants de façade “active”, adaptable et efficace, à assembler à sec, en conformité avec les exigences de performance requises par la réglementation actuelle. La recherche est finalisée à la gestion de l'ensemble du processus, soutenu par des systèmes de relevé géométrique, connectés aux logiciels de programmation paramétrique pour la modélisation des surfaces capables de s'adapter aux différentes morphologies du patrimoine existant. Ces outils informatisés CAO-FAO sont reliés aux machines à contrôle numérique CNC pour la fabrication des éléments de façade “sur mesure”. À démonstration de l'approche innovante proposée, deux possibles solutions d'enveloppes ont présentées, dans la ligne droit des principes de durabilité, comprise comme modularité, rapidité de mise en œuvre, réversibilité, récupération et réutilise des matériaux. En particulier, les solutions innovantes sont réunies par l'application d'une technique basée sur l'assemblage d'éléments préfabriqués, l'adoption d'un pavage hexagonal pour le dessin de la nouvelle surface d'enveloppe, et l'utilisation du même matériau isolant thermique, plastique et inorganique, recyclé, éco-durable, à faible impact environnemental (AAM - Alkali Activated Materials).Les solutions proposées, développées dans les sièges de cotutelle (Université de Bologne, Université Paris-Est) sont envisagées selon un protocole scientifique qui prévoit: conception du système constructif, analyse mécanique et thermique, expérimentation constructive, validation des techniques de mise en œuvre et des performances / The research is aimed at presenting a new integrated approach to aid operators and designers to manage the design process as a whole in refurbishment interventions of recent existing building stock, through the use of innovative technological envelope solutions. The study requires the acquisition of a selection of typological and constructive envelope solutions, as a starting point for the development of design solutions to be used for architectural renovation of schools built after the Second World War, in reinforced concrete and mostly prefabricated. The project identifies sustainable construction processes for the design of “active”, adaptive, efficient and dry assembled envelope components, in accordance with the performance requirements prescribed by current regulations. The purpose of the research is to manage the whole design process with the support of geometrical survey, connected to parametric programming software for modelling surfaces which can be adapted to the morphology of existing buildings. These computerized CAD-CAM tools are connected to CNC machines for “customized” industrialized production. To illustrate this innovative approach, two envelope solutions are proposed, according to the research paradigms and the principles of sustainability, meant as modularity, speed of setup, reversibility, recycling and reuse of materials with low environmental impact. In particular, the innovative solutions have in common the application of a technique based on the assembly of prefabricated components, the adoption of hexagonal patterns for the tessellation of the new surface of the façade, and the use of the same plastic and inorganic, recycled and sustainable, thermal insulation material (AAM-Alkali Activated Materials).The design solutions proposed are developed at the two sites involved in the joint

Det “transformativa” i transformativa teknologier : En studie om investeringar inom området transformativ teknologi och dess transformativa egenskaperAgerberg, David, Selenius, Sofia January 2021 (has links)
Teknologiers transformativa förmågor har stor potential att bidra till förändring som gynnar samhällen, miljön och mänskligt välbefinnande. Världen står idag inför många stora utmaningar som klimatförändringar och omfattande digitala förändringar. Investerare påverkar vilka teknologier som formar våra samhällen, och uppdragsdrivna aktörer, snarare än endast vinstdrivna, kan påverka framtida paradigmskiften. Trots ett ökat intresse för området ”transformativa teknologier” saknas konsensus kring grundläggande egenskaper och vad begreppet inbegriper. Avsaknaden av definierande egenskaper resulterar i att begreppet löper risk att urvattnas, vilket vidare medför negativa effekter kopplade till beslutsfattares avsaknad av praxis för att utvärdera transformativa förmågor hos teknologier. Beslutsfattare kan hjälpas av ett tydligare definierat begrepp och genom applicerbara metoder kan beslutsfattare hjälpas nå sina mål. Befintliga metoder för utvärdering av ansvarsfulla investeringar som ESG och Impact investing är inte fokuserade på teknologier och därtill finns begränsningar som gör de mindre tillämpbara i fall där transformativa teknologier är relevant. Studien bidrar till en ökad förståelse för begreppet och tillhandahåller metoder för utvärdering genom att analysera transformativa egenskaper i Industrifondens portföljbolag inom området transformativ teknologi. Det empiriska underlaget utgörs av 12 portföljbolag. Studien visar på tre dimensioner av transformativa egenskaper, value changes, mimicry och diffusion, samt bidrar med förståelse kring dess innebörd. Vidare visar studien på återkommande mönster i termer av transformativa egenskaper. Utöver bidraget kopplat till en ökad förståelse inom området ger studien förslag på hur dessa teknologier kan utvärderas samt hur utvärderingsmetoder kan tillämpas vid investeringsstrategier. / The transformative capabilities of technologies have great potential contributing to change that benefits society, the environment and human well-being. The world faces many grand challenges today, such as climate change and extensive digital change. Investors affect which technologies shaping our societies and organizations that are mission-driven, rather than entirely profit-driven, can affect the paradigm shifts that are to come. Despite an increased interest in the field of “transformative technologies”, there is a lack of consensus on basic characteristics and what the term entails. The lack of defining characteristics results in a risk of the term being diluted, which further has negative effects linked to decision-makers’ lack of approaches to evaluate transformative abilities in technologies. Decision-makers can be helped by a more defined concept, and through applicable methods, decision-makers can be helped to achieve their goals. Existing methods for evaluation of so-called “responsible investments” such as ESG and Impact investing are not focused on transformative capabilities of technologies. Furthermore, some limitations make them less applicable in cases where transformative technologies are relevant. The study contributes to an increased understanding of the concept and provides methods for evaluation by analyzing transformative capacities in Industrifonden's portfolio companies in the field of transformative technology. The empirical basis consists of 12 portfolio companies. The study highlights three dimensions of characteristics for transformative technologies, value changes, mimicry and diffusion, and contributes to an understanding of their meaning. Furthermore, the study shows recurring patterns in terms of transformative characteristics. In addition to the contribution linked to an increased understanding in the area, the study provides suggestions on how these technologies can be evaluated and how evaluation methods can be applied to investment strategies.
