The present investigation examines the role of museum buildings in their consideration as heritage institutions. A particular interest in rehabilitation processes and conversion of international exhibition pavilions into museums will be assessed. The Archaeological Museum of Seville will be taken as a case study. The Ibero-American Exhibition of Seville (1929) was a paramount event in the city, with a vast development of the southern area of the city as well as a display of flourishing regionalist architecture. Its powerful image has transcended from this temporary event, embracing relevant institutions over decades, such as the Archeological Museum. Plus, historical preservation has enhanced its heritage value. Within the grounds of the historic María Luisa Park, the museum has undergone a remarkable evolution as an institution that requires a new relationship with its building, together with an adequation to new museological perspectives. During the lifetime of the museum, the former exhibition pavilion has experienced a succession of rehabilitation processes in the 20th century, always searching for a continuity with the concept of the original building. However, the evolution of the institution faces new challenges for the 21st century: display of the collection, technological issues, public and community services, network affiliation, etc. A series of cultural heritage protection measures that affect the property and its collections, its immediate environment, and the urban environment in which it is located, condition the building and its urban context. Nowadays, a new architectural intervention is in process, with the main goal of putting together all these requirements. The project also deals with the production of a new architecture of representation, respecting and rehabilitating the original regionalist building but also creating a contemporary image for the institution. The relevance of the museum, together with its urban role, make the Archeological Museum of Seville an important agent of cultural requalification. In conclusion, this paper will show how urban culture has been renewed, experiencing a decisive transformation of public spaces and cultural facilities, for leisure, education, or tourism. A new reconsideration of the Cultural Property in question is an experience that can be extrapolated to other museum experiences that emerged in the 20th century and that are currently undergoing a comprehensive reexamination.

The Royal Earthworks hillfort in Trzcinica is one of the most important archaeological sites in Poland, where strongly fortified settlements of the Pleszow group of the Mierzanowice culture and the Otomani-Fuzesabony culture, as well as an early medieval stronghold, were discovered. Interdisciplinary research has brought excellent results and numerous prehistoric artefacts have been discovered there. The fortification, chronology and stratigraphy were well recognised. The idea to build an Archaeological Open-Air Museum named the Carpathian Troy appeared in 1998, owing to amazing research results, mass tourism and further, the desire to provide archaeological discoveries to the public. Therefore, a scientific concept was prepared and after numerous consultations, the area for the construction of the archaeological open-air museum was bought and an architectural design was planned, which was to include the area of the hillfort and the terrain located at its foot. The Carpathian Troy Archaeological Open-Air Museum in Trzcinica is a branch of the Subcarpathian Museum in Krosno. The funds from the Norwegian EEA Financial Mechanism and from the local governments were obtained for the building, which was carried out in 2008–2011, and the opening took place in June 2011. The archaeological open-air museum occupies an area of over 8 ha. On the hillfort, nine sections of defensive ramparts, a fragment of the road and the gate, as well as two Otomani- Fuzesabony culture cottages, an early medieval gate and four early medieval cottages were reconstructed. Paths for visitors were also built. At the foot of the hillfort, an Archaeological Park and exhibition pavilion were created. In the Archaeological Park, Otomani-Fuzesabony culture and early medieval settlements were reconstructed. The Exhibition Pavilion contains an archaeological exhibition, rooms for an educational shelter, an office, a warehouse and a room for technical purposes. As part of subsequent undertakings implemented with EU funds and as a part of cross-border Polish-Slovakian projects, a viewing tower, an educational shelter, a livestock sector, and experimental plots were created and a section of an early medieval rampart was reconstructed. The Carpathian Troy Archaeological Open-air Museum in Trzcinica is a centre of tourism, education and experimental archaeology as well as a research centre.

The way in which dialogues and group meetings affect the progress of multidisciplinary architectural design teams can be easily underestimated by managers. This is due to the importance of group meetings to review designs, share information, make decisions and hence progress the design. The aim of this paper is to discuss how design dialogues and design team meetings facilitate team communication. A review of research into design team communication and performance using a project website provides an insight into how design team members used and changed their synchronous and asynchronous communication while adopting the project web. Case studies were used to investigate changes in communication practices affecting team performance due to project web use. Research findings reveal a preference among design team members for dialogue as their favourite communication medium despite the growing use of asynchronous communication by teams. Results are discussed against research findings from communication in design and management team meetings. Implications for design managers, concerned with improving communications and the management of design, are discussed in the light of the research findings.

‘Research’ and ‘Design’ – How Do We Combine Them To Bring Better Solutions To Market?

The purpose of this article is to consider the development of the film distribution in Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk in the late 1910s – early 1920s. This period is marked by two major historical events – the Civil War and the final establishment of the Bolsheviks in power and their transition to a new economic policy after the Civil War. The article presents an analysis of the changes in the genre composition, the main plots of the films that were shown to the townspeople during the period under review. In addition, information is provided on the most popular domestic and foreign films and film actors who have enjoyed the most attention and interest from the local public. At the end of the article, it is concluded that film life in the centers of Eastern Siberia was quite developed. At the same time, she was influenced by historical events that took place in the country and the world.

Temporary constructions demand further research in the management of their building process, as standard procedures are not able to give an adequate response to their special characteristics, in terms of their short completion schedule, their highly specialized construction systems and the obtaining of both building permits and public activity licenses. The authors present their on-going research in this field through the superb example of a 700 m2 temporary exhibition pavilion commissioned by the Spanish Savings Bank UNICAJA. Having been installed in representative locations in 6 Andalusian cities, this structure welcomed more than 150,000 attendees during 8 months, from 2010 to 2011. Through the continuous work as part of a multidisciplinary team, the leading role of building engineers and architects, as effective managers of these sorts of commissions, has been proved. Innovative management schemes are hereby presented, with which the authors strive to pave the way for appropriate management procedures for these types of constructions.

BackgroundCurrent recommendations for strengthening the US healthcare system consider restructuring primary care into multidisciplinary teams as vital to improving quality and efficiency. Yet, approaches to the selection of team designs remain unclear. This project describes current primary care team designs, primary care professionals’ perceptions of ideal team designs, and perceived facilitating factors and barriers to implementing ideal team-based care.MethodsQualitative study of 44 health care professionals at 6 primary care practices in North Carolina using focus group discussions and surveys. Data was analyzed using framework content analysis.ResultsPractices used a variety of multidisciplinary team designs with the specific design being influenced by the social and policy context in which practices were embedded. Practices overwhelmingly located barriers to adopting ideal multidisciplinary teams as being outside of their individual practices and outside of their control. Participants viewed internal organizational contexts as the major facilitators of multidisciplinary primary care teams. The majority of practices described their ideal team design as including a social worker to meet the needs of socially complex patients.ConclusionsPrimary care multidisciplinary team designs vary across practices, shaped in part by contextual factors perceived as barriers outside of the practices’ control. Facilitating factors within practices provide a culture of support to team members, but they are insufficient to overcome the perceived barriers. The common desire to add social workers to care teams reflects practices’ struggles to meet the complex demands of patients and external agencies. Government or organizational policies should avoid one-size-fits-all approaches to multidisciplinary care teams, and instead allow primary care practices to adapt to their specific contextual circumstances.

BackgroundMultidisciplinary collaboration is essential to the successful development of serious games, albeit difficult to achieve. In a previous study, the co.LAB serious game design framework was created to support collaboration within serious game multidisciplinary design teams. Its use has not yet been validated in a real usage context.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to perform a first assessment of the impact of the co.LAB framework on collaboration within multidisciplinary teams during serious game design and development.MethodsA mixed methods study was conducted, based on 2 serious game design projects in which the co.LAB framework was used. The first phase was qualitative and carried out using a general inductive approach. To this end, all members of the first serious game project team who used the co.LAB framework were invited to take part in a focus group session (n=6). In a second phase, results inferred from qualitative data were used to define a quantitative instrument (questionnaire) that was designed according to the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys. Members of both project teams (n=11) were then asked to answer the questionnaire. Quantitative results were reported as median (Q1, Q3), and appropriate nonparametric tests were used to assess between-group differences. Finally, results gathered through the qualitative and quantitative phases were integrated.ResultsIn both phases, the participation rate was 100% (6/6 and 11/11). Verbatim transcripts were classified into 4 high level themes: (1) influence on collaborative dimensions; (2) impact on project course, monitoring, and efficiency; (3) qualitative perceptions of the framework; and (4) influence of team composition on the use of the framework. The web-based questionnaire was then developed according to the 7 dimensions of collaboration by Burkhardt et al. In both projects, the co.LAB framework had a positive impact on most dimensions of collaboration during the multidisciplinary design and development of serious games. When all collaborative dimensions were aggregated, the overall impact of the framework was rated on a scale from –42 to 42 (very negative to very positive). The overall median score was 23 (Q1, Q3: 20, 27), with no significant difference between groups (P=.58). Most respondents also believed that all serious game design teams should include a member possessing significant expertise in serious game design to guide the development process.ConclusionsThe co.LAB framework had a positive impact on collaboration within serious game design and development teams. However, expert guidance seems necessary to maximize development efficiency. Whether such guidance can be provided by means of a collaborative web platform remains to be determined.

The Anglia gas field was originally developed in the late 1980s with the first wells being drilled with mineral oil-based mud in the reservoir sections. In most cases, production from the original wells was below expectation and only five years later, plans were being made to re-develop the field in order to maintain its economic viability as a gas producer, and meet gas delivery commitments. Well-bore placement and drilling fluid selection were determined to be critical factors in ensuring the success of planned in-fill wells. This paper reports on the planning and testing which was conducted during the selection of the drilling fluid for the reservoir phase of the new wells, changes in drilling practice and the subsequent production obtained from utilising this new approach, in comparison to the production from the original wells. Reasons for the poor production from the first phase of the development are discussed. Due to the more complex trajectories and longer well-paths required by the well design team, additional difficulties were created for the drilling fluid, notably that of lubricity. Further testing is described in the paper, where the best combination of good lubricity and minimal formation damage was sought. Final production data on three wells drilled during 1997-9 are reported. The overall experience confirms that a detailed drilling fluid selection process which takes into account key reservoir-specific factors, combined with a holistic approach to the drilling and completion of the reservoir section of a well can significantly enhance its resultant productivity.

The compliant tower is a proven bottom-founded platform which has been used successfully for three developments in the Gulf of Mexico. The compliant tower offers a number of advantages as it provides a stable, conventional, cost effective base for offshore drilling and production operations using dry trees, and fixed or steel catenary risers. Construction of compliant towers is readily achievable with existing and proven fabrication facilities and offshore construction equipment. The Benguela-Belize tower represents the first compliant tower application outside the Gulf of Mexico in an environment substantially different from Gulf of Mexico environments. The Benguela-Belize development scheme required a concept which could effectively serve as a major hub facility, with large wellcounts, large numbers of risers, and a record setting operating payload of 40,000 mt. The advantages offered by the tower were exploited effectively to satisfy the challenges presented by the Benguela-Belize development. This paper describes the design of the compliant tower for the Benguela-Belize development, which presents a number of challenges not experienced in Gulf of Mexico developments. Reviews of the compliant tower concept are presented, along with Gulf of Mexico experience, and comparisons with the tower configuration and global response in West African environmental conditions. Descriptions of the Benguela- Belize project requirements are given, along with design criteria and discussions of differences with Gulf of Mexico criteria and the impact on the tower design. Design and analyses procedures, and system characteristic responses and the impact on wear and fatigue are discussed. The unique design features, such as the largest piles ever installed offshore, the active leveling system required to ensure verticality constraints are achieved, and field connections for the offshore mating of tower sections, will be summarized and presented. The technology summarized in this paper can be used effectively in future offshore projects worldwide. Introduction Chevron Corporation's Angolan subsidiary, Cabinda Gulf Oil Co. Ltd. (CABGOC), successfully completed the installation of the world's first compliant tower outside the Gulf of Mexico in May of 2005. Planning for this milestone event began with discovery and appraisal drilling at the Benguela and Belize sites in the late 1990s and the year 2000. Following concept evaluations, a design competition, and the selection of the compliant tower as the central hub facility for development of the Benguela and Belize reservoirs, the preliminary design of the tower, more specifically the Compliant Piled Tower (CPT), was awarded to Mustang Engineering in 2001. CABGOC awarded the EPCI contract to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in February of 2003, with commercial first oil planned for the last quarter of 2005. Additional information related to project development is contained in two accompanying papers by Kim, et al, and McNeilly, et al. The development schedule resulted in a design and build schedule, including installation offshore West Africa, which can only be described as aggressive. Design and build schedules for such deepwater structures typically can extend over 30 months, and more. The Benguela-Belize schedule resulted in a design and build schedule of 26 months, which presented the design and fabrication teams with significant challenges. ‘Fast-track’ scheduling between the EPCI contractor and fabrication subcontractors, Kiewit Offshore and Gulf Marine Fabricators, and the CPT design team was identified early in the project as an essential element for success.

Each set of curriculum documents produced in South Africa since the late 1990s has specified a common curriculum and programme of assessment for all official languages taught in schools as ‘home’ or ‘additional’ languages. However, authors and other members of textbook design teams interpret these documents from different positions and in different ways when they select and represent knowledge and skills on the page. This article presents and discusses findings from an analysis of textbooks widely used in schools in Gauteng province for the teaching of isiZulu, Sepedi, Sesotho, Afrikaans and English as home language subject in Grade 7. While designing high quality learning materials for any school subject is challenging, designers of language textbooks face the additional challenges of sourcing texts in a range of genres and of choosing themes or topics on which to base the representation of the content knowledge and ‘skills’ specified in the curriculum. We argue that while each of the textbooks we have analysed is framed by the same curriculum statements, they differ significantly in terms of the content and skills that are foregrounded or backgrounded in each one, in the mediation strategies selected and in the subject positions that each design team offers to learners as adolescent local and global citizens.

This article examines the contributions of Ivan G. Tyulin as a key organizer of scientific research at MGIMO, focusing on theoretical and methodological issues in international relations (IR), as well as his studies on French political thought and the development of IR as a discipline in the Soviet Union and later in Russia. The study highlights the initially limited attention to theoretical inquiries in the USSR and the subsequent recognition of the necessity to develop theoretical knowledge, a shift facilitated by research conducted at the institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences and MGIMO. By the late 1970s and 1980s, Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials began demonstrating interest in conceptual approaches to international relations. Against this backdrop, the Problematic Scientific Research Laboratory for the System Analysis of International Relations was established at MGIMO in 1976, with Ivan G. Tyulin soon assuming its leadership. As head of this laboratory and later as MGIMO’s ViceRector for Science, Tyulin emerged as one of the most influential figures in organizing IR research in the USSR and Russia. The article identifies and analyzes five key interrelated areas in which Tyulin made significant contributions both as a scientific organizer and as a scholar: (1) system analysis in international relations and interdisciplinary research, (2) methodologies for studying international relations, (3) the development of international studies in the USSR and Russia, (4) French theoretical thought, and (5) conflicts and negotiations in international relations. The study concludes that Tyulin laid the foundation for several important directions in domestic—and, to some extent, global—international studies. In the late 1980s, he pioneered research on the systematic analysis of international relations, interdisciplinarity, research methodologies, and the study of international conflicts and negotiations using quantitative methods and modeling. Simultaneously, he remained committed to advancing applied research grounded in rigorous qualitative methodological principles. These research directions continue to evolve at MGIMO and within the broader Russian academic landscape. The conceptual and theoretical foundations of international relations and foreign policy in Russia and other states remain a crucial area for further scholarly inquiry.

Interdisciplinary research in operations management

ABSTRACT:Crafting the design brief is often the first task of the design process and an arduous one. Design brief serves as the guiding beacon for the designer or design team to understand needs and envision intent, position stakeholders, qualify requirements, identify key criteria, outline objectives, and clarify if the ‘task’ is in line with the ask. Literature reports on the process of ‘briefing’ and ‘reframing’, and further articulates the structural components of a brief. Vision, Need statement, Criteria; and Goals characterise the final state of a brief, yet designers struggle with the process. This paper investigates the quality and structuring of design briefs developed by novice designers, individually versus in multi-disciplinary design teams, to assess the implication of teaming up and finds a significant improvement. After all, design is a team sport!

Continuing professional development (CPD) for clinicians is necessary for individual health professionals to maintain their professional standards and for the community, who rely on their services for the delivery of evidence-based, cost-effective health services. In the late 1990s, three driving forces for using design-based research in CPD appeared. First, meta-analysis of research evidence indicated that most educational interventions were ineffective in improving clinician performance or changing practice. Secondly, the market requirements of the health industry (i.e. large scale, cost-effective programs, across a wide variety of topics and clinician groups) favoured reproducible designs over ad hoc solutions. Thirdly, emergent internet technologies were attractive candidate solutions, but increased risk compared to face to face CPD. Over ten years of design-based research, the authors have designed, developed, delivered and studied the results of over 200 professional development programs, mostly e-learning. Approximately 12,000 health professionals each year engage. Because the authors, as a multidisciplinary design and delivery team, have had full cycle responsibility, they have had a living laboratory in which to conduct design-based research. Three major design improvement cycles have been completed. Both the design-based research process and the resultant successful design framework will be presented. The framework covers the evidence base, design principles, design patterns and pattern language for designing and implementing professional development, in both online and face to face modes.
