This project investigates an idea of adoptable space as opposed to adaptable space of generic flexibility. An Experimental Performing Arts Center on a site in Downtown Chattanooga is used as a vehicle to define the nature of space, which offers itself for an architectural adoption. Simple elements like platforms, walls, doors, windows and curtains are interpreted in a new way and can be used experimentally to let a theater play happen. / Master of Architecture

Išanalizavus mokslinę literatūrą asmenų, baigusių mokyklą pagal adaptuotą programą, socialinės integracijos visuomenėje klausimu, socialinę integraciją galima apibrėžti kaip lygių galimybių suteikimą neįgaliajam,pasireiškiantį nuo fizinių barjerų pašalinimo gyvenamojoje aplinkoje iki psichologinių kliūčių panaikinimo. Tyrimo hipotezė, jog asmenų, baigusių mokyklą pagal adaptuotą programą, sėkmingos integracijos kokybei visuomenėje turi įtakos jų pačių, šeimos, mokyklos ir visuomenės ktyptingos pastangos,pasitvirtino.T. y. sėkmingos integracijos kokybei visuomenėje turi įtakos jaunuolių savęs vertinimas, pasitikėjimas savo jėgomis, jų pačių tikslai ir poreikiai, šeimos įsitraukimas į vaiko ugdymo procesą, visuomenės narių prosocialios aplinkos kūrimas, darbdavių geranoriškumas ir sąlygų sudarymas neįgaliam asmeniui.Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, jog 19 proc. apklaustųjų buvo mokomi pagal adaptuotą programą, tačiau jokia specialioji pagalba jiems nebuvo teikiama. Šis veiksnys rodo, kad egzistuoja problema ugdant ir teikiant pagalbą specialiųjų poreikių turintiems vaikams, t.y. trūksta kvalifikuotų specialistų, kad ne visose mokyklose mokytojai yra pasirengę dirbti su šiais vaikais. Kyla klausimas, ar parašytos mokiniams adaptuotos programos nelieka tik dokumentuose reglamentuojamomis programomis. Kalbant apie asmenų, baigusių mokyklą pagal adaptuotą programą, socialinės integracijos visuomenėje gerinimo galimybes, pastebėta, kad svarbu išspręsti problemas, susijusias su...

The provision of equal opportunities can include the removal of physical and psychological obstacles in living surroundings. The hypothesis of the research, that the quality of successful integration in the society of people, who were educated on adaptable syllabuses, depends on their own, their families’, schools’ and the societies’efforts, was absolutely confirmed. It means, that peoples’, who were educated on an adaptable syllabus, quality of the successful integration in the society is influenced by youngsters’ self-assessment, confidence, their own aims and needs, the involvement of their families into the process of education, the creation of social atmosphere, where the goodwill of employers and conditions for the disabled exist. The results of the research show that 19 percent of people, who participated in the questionnaire, were taught according to an adaptable syllabus, but any special assistance was not offered. This factor demonstrates that there is a problem of educating and rending assistance for children with special needs, it means that there is lack of specialists and not every teacher is ready and trained to work with these children. A question appears if adaptable syllabuses , created for children with... [to full text]

The increasing complexity of systems and the demand for increasing implemented functionalit-ies within the systems necessitate a paradigm shift in development approaches. While traditionalsystems engineering relies heavily on textual documentation, the future calls for a more stream-lined, digital method such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). MBSE utilises models tostore data, mitigating textual ambiguity and providing stakeholders with a unified source of inform-ation. Despite its potential, the adoption of MBSE presents challenges because of the need of newpractitioner skill-sets. The thesis investigates the feasibility of implementing an easily adoptable MBSE, using a limitedset of SysML elements and diagrams, approach within the space industry. Through the developmentof guidelines, steps, and goals, a model of an industry-related system is constructed. The createdmodel serves as a demonstration to industry engineers, evaluating the suitability of the proposedguidelines. The thesis concludes the need for maturity of MBSE, its tools, and the need for harmonisationwithin the space industry to establish acceptance among the practitioners. These are the crucialpoints where development and refinements are needed to gain the trust and interest of the end usersof the modelling activities and adopting the proposed methods.i
