The emergence on knowledge-based and innovation-based economy has led to numerous universities restructuring themselves in response to this new economic growth shift. Technology transfer is the process of converting scientific findings into useful products or services for society.The purpose of the study was to identify they key determinants that drives successful commercialisation of university innovations by technology transfer offices.The research took a qualitative methodology wherein open ended questions in the form of narrative inquiry were posed to experts in the field of university technology transfer to explore and understand the critical determinants that drives successful commercialisation of university innovations. From the twelve themes that emerged as determinants for diving successful commercialisation of innovation, buy-in by top management of the university, awareness about technology transfer office, enabling environment and financial stability were considered as highly critical for commercialisation of university innovations by technology transfer offices.A technology transfer office can create many benefits for the university, industry, and the surrounding community, but it requires carefully planned and consistent longterm financial and administrative support. And above all, it requires technology transfer officers that are able and willing to take risks and university top management that support them. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

El presente proyecto es un edificio mixto bajo el concepto “in between” (espacios intermedios), cuya principal tipología es una residencia universitaria, complementaria a esta surgen usos complementarios como el comercio, las oficinas co- working y las salas de usos múltiples. Se ubica, estratégicamente, en el distrito de Pueblo Libre, cerca de equipamiento necesario y complementario a estas tipologías. Con la elaboración de este proyecto, se busca cubrir el 3.05% de la demanda actual existente por parte de estudiantes de provincia o del extranjero, quienes por falta de edificios como este, tienen la necesidad de hospedarse en ambientes no aptos arquitectónicamente a sus necesidades. El objetivo de la residencia universitaria es alojar a los estudiantes y brindarles espacios de ocio y descanso cuya calidad arquitectónica permita que los estudiantes se desenvuelvan en el aspecto personal, académico, social y cultural. Por otro lado, es preciso mencionar que las oficinas co- working, el comercio y las salas de uso múltiple son espacios complementarios a esta residencia que se incluyen en el proyecto con la finalidad de hacer que este sea más atractivo a los inversionistas y, por ende, más rentable. / The present project is a mixed building under the concept “in between” (intermediate spaces), the main typology of which is a university residence, complementary to which arise complementary uses such as commerce, co-working offices and multipurpose rooms. It is strategically located in the Pueblo Libre district, close to the necessary and complementary equipment for these typologies. With the elaboration of this project, the aim is to cover 3.05% of the current demand from students from the province or from abroad, who due to a lack of buildings like this, have the need to stay in environments that are not architecturally suitable for their needs. The objective of the university residence is to accommodate the students and provide them with leisure and rest spaces whose architectural quality allows the students to function personally, academically, socially and culturally. On the other hand, it is necessary to mention that co-working offices, shops and multipurpose rooms are complementary spaces to this residence, which are included in the project in order to make it more attractive to investors and, therefore, hence, more profitable. / Trabajo de investigación

Orientador: João Roberto Gomes de Faria / Resumo: O modo como são projetados e ocupados os espaços de trabalho interferem tanto em como as pessoas se sentem como em seu desempenho. Oferecer um ambiente interno confortável é necessário para que seus ocupantes alcancem um melhor desempenho. Assim, um dos principais fatores para que um ambiente possua qualidade interna é que este seja termicamente confortável. Neste sentido, as escolhas arquitetônicas têm a capacidade de proporcionar experiências, sejam elas físicas, funcionais ou psicológicas, capazes de influenciar na percepção térmica de seus ocupantes. Por sua vez, os usuários de salas individuais têm papel fundamental no ajuste dos sistemas que visam estabelecer condições de conforto térmico de suas salas. Sendo assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi verificar, através de uma análise exploratória, como o uso de estratégias bioclimáticas para a obtenção do conforto ambiental por usuários de escritórios individuais é capaz de influenciar a sensação térmica. Para isto, um estudo de caso foi realizado com os docentes e suas salas de escritórios individuais dos quatro prédios de departamento da Faculdade de Arquitetura, Artes e Comunicação (FAAC) da Unesp, Campus de Bauru: Design; Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Paisagismo; Ciências Humanas; Artes e Representação Gráfica. Foi adotado na pesquisa um método misto com avaliações quantitativas e qualitativas através, respectivamente, de simulação computacional e aplicação de questionários. Os resultados mostraram que usuários de escritórios in...

Providing a comfortable indoor environment is necessary for their occupants to achieve better performance. Thus, one of the main factors for the quality of an environment is that it is thermally comfortable. In this sense, architectural choices have the ability to provide experiences, whether physical, functional or psychological, capable of influencing the thermal perception of their occupants. In turn, users of individual rooms play a fundamental role in adjusting the systems that aim to establish thermal comfort conditions of their rooms. Thus, the objective of the study was to verify, through an exploratory analysis, how the use of bioclimatic strategies to obtain environmental comfort by individual office users is able to influence the thermal sensation. For this, a case study was conducted with the teachers and their individual office rooms of the four department buildings at School of Architecture, Arts and Communication of São Paulo State University (UNESP), campus Bauru: Design; Architecture, Urbanism and Landscaping; Humanities; and Arts and Graphic Representation. The research adopted a mixed method with quantitative and qualitative evaluations through, respectively, computer simulation and questionnaires application. The results showed that users of individual offices can have their perception and thermal comfort influenced by non-thermal variables and that the ps...

In the Real Estate market there are a large number of commercial properties with offices. As a company or business you are faced with many decisions when choosing your office space. This bachelor thesis examines the concept of architectural quality with focus on beauty and its value for office tenants. The ambition is to find out if beauty is a decisive factor in the selection of office and if there is a willingness to pay for it. The selected question is studied in a case study of Garnisonen where tenants, a property owner and an architect are interviewed, all with connection to the examination object. Garnisonen is well suited as a case study because it is Stockholm's largest office complex with buildings from three different architectural eras. Tenants in the survey represent all architectural styles and have different industry affiliation. As a theoretical framework a literature study is presented where the importance of beauty for the individual, the built environment and society are treated, and also how the office can be used for branding purposes. The interviewees’ views of beauty and their opinions on beauty at work in Garnisonen are presented in the results. To find out if there is a willingness to pay for beauty the respondents get to put a value on beauty based on rental changes given in per cent. The analysis links the results with the theory chapter. The conclusion interprets the analysis and discloses the willingness to pay for beauty in Garnisonen with the aspiration to give an indication of a more general view of the value of beauty. / På fastighetsmarknaden finns ett stort antal kommersiella fastigheter med kontor. Som företag eller verksamhet ställs man inför flera beslut vid val av kontorslokal. I det här kandidatarbetet undersöks begreppet arkitektonisk kvalitet med fokus på skönhet och dess värde för kontorshyresgästen. Syftet är att ta reda på om skönhet är en avgörande faktor vid val av lokal och om det finns en betalningsvilja för det. Den valda frågan studeras i en fallstudie av Garnisonen där hyresgäster, fastighetsägare och en arkitekt intervjuas, alla med anknytning till undersökningsobjektet. Garnisonen lämpar sig väl som fallstudie då det är Stockholms största kontorskomplex med byggnader från tre olika arkitektoniska tidsepoker. Hyresgästerna representerar samtliga arkitekturstilar och har olika branschtillhörighet. Som teoretiskt ramverk presenteras en litteraturstudie där betydelsen av skönhet för individen, den byggda miljön och samhället behandlas, därtill hur kontoret kan användas i varumärkesbyggande syfte för ett företag. I resultatet redovisas intervjuobjektens syn på skönhet och deras tankar kring skönhet på arbetsplatsen i Garnisonen. För att ta reda på om det finns en betalningsvilja för skönhet får respondenterna sätta ett värde på skönhet utifrån en hyresförändring angiven i procent. I analysen sammankopplas resultatet med teoriavsnittet. Slutsatsen tolkar analysen och behandlar betalningsviljan för skönhet i Garnisonen med viljan att ge en indikation om en mer allmän syn på värdet av skönhet.

Thesis advisor: Kristen Bottema-Beutel / Many autistic students enrolled in colleges/universities, who are academically qualified for admission, experience difficulties adjusting to their college life. Disability support offices (DSOs) of higher education institutions (HEIs) assume the responsibility of providing supports to autistic students, but many DSOs lack the resources to cater to the varied needs of these students. To gain a nuanced understanding, this set of three studies explores contextual factors around DSOs that may influence autistic students’ experiences with DSOs and their perspectives about available DSO support. In Study 1, DSO websites of 12 US HEIs were examined using multimodal discourse analysis, and the study revealed that DSO websites share genre features with advertisements. DSO websites advertised the services they provide in efforts to ‘brand’ their institution. This commodification of DSO supports raises concerns because accommodations given to students with disabilities should be understood as their legal rights rather than sellable products. In Study 2, a nationwide sample of 153 DSO staff members completed a battery of online surveys to determine significant predictors of their attitudes and knowledge about autism. The quality of previous contact was shown to be associated with social distance, openness, and knowledge about autism, and several institutional variables significantly predicted staff members’ attitudes and knowledge about autism. Lastly, in Study 3, 27 autistic undergraduate students were interviewed about their experiences with DSOs, and their responses were qualitatively analyzed using a generic inductive approach. Students reported on their general perceptions of DSOs, decisions about not receiving DSO supports, and their perception of ways that DSOs could support them better. Together, the findings of the three studies inform the work of DSOs in developing appropriate systems that support autistic students to successfully navigate college. Developing service provision systems that comprehensively address these issues reported by autistic students should be a collective institutional responsibility to increase autism awareness and acceptance on college campuses and make online and physical space accessible for autistic students. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2020. / Submitted to: Boston College.
