From design to implementation: Lessons from planning the first marine protected area network in Canada

The social-ecological outcomes of marine protected areas (MPAs) can be amplified when sites are designed in networks that function cooperatively and synergistically. From 2015–2024, seventeen First Nations, the Province of British Columbia, and the Government of Canada collaboratively developed a Network Action Plan to establish an MPA Network for the Northern Shelf Bioregion (NSB). The NSB is a diverse and complex social-ecological region in British Columbia that spans an area of 102,000 km2 from Northern Vancouver Island to the Alaska border. Here, we describe the MPA Network planning process and the transition from Network planning to implementation. We discuss key elements of success that enabled the Network Action Plan’s collaborative development and lessons learned to inform and improve regional MPA Network implementation and global MPA Network planning and implementation. All phases of the planning process, including governance, development, engagement, design, and analysis, were guided by the following principles: collaborative governance, multiple ways of knowing, participatory engagement, and adaptation to new information. The Network Action Plan’s dynamic design process resulted in innovative approaches and tools to protect conservation objectives throughout the NSB. As the NSB MPA Network process transitions from planning toward implementation, collaborative governance, network monitoring, and ongoing participatory engagement processes will play a central role in advancing the goals and objectives articulated in the Network Action Plan and ensuring equitable social-ecological outcomes. Overall, the NSB MPA Network planning process provides a model for collaborative design of MPA Networks and can inform co-governance and co-management processes throughout the world.

Impact of technological-enhanced collaborative and instructor-led instructional design model on 4th-grade pupils’ attitude in social studies

The purpose of social studies is to help learners inculcate ideas and practices suitable for eliciting acceptable behaviours for national consciousness and global communities. It appears that the traditional method of teaching the subject is deficient in addressing the right attitude needed in 21st-century learners. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a 3×2×3 factorial matrix in an intact class of 88 participants. The study was manipulated at three levels involving a Collaborative Instructional Design Model (CIDM), Instructor-led Instructional Design Model (IIDM) and Traditional Instructional Strategy (TIS) with a Storytelling-video package. Cronbach-Alpha was used to establish the reliability coefficient at 0.81 questionnaire items used at pre-post tested with 7 hypotheses at 0.05. Findings showed that treatment had a significant main effect on pupils’ attitudes in Social Studies, effect sized accounted for revealed (ɳ2=0.14). The 2&3-way interaction of treatments, age and gender was not significant. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers adopt the instructional design model as revealed in the study to be effective at the main treatment level to enhance pupils’ attitude towards Social Studies.

Collaborative distribution network design with surging demand and facility disruptions

In this paper, we study a new approach to horizontal collaboration, the so-called coalition configuration among partnering companies through sharing distribution centers in a network design problem. Horizontal collaboration is established by making joint decisions and sharing resources among various parties at the same level of the supply chain which improves operational efficiency and competitiveness. In particular, the question we address is which coalition should be formed in each distribution center while the objective function seeks to minimize the total cost in the network. Beyond that, potential uncertainties, i.e., operational and disruption risks, are considered in the collaborative design phase. Thus, this paper studies a two-stage robust optimization model for collaborative distribution network design under surging demand and facility disruptions. A tailored column-and-constraint generation algorithm is utilized to solve the proposed robust model. Extensive numerical experiments have been conducted to analyze solutions obtained by the model in various situations, e.g., when the grand coalition forms, for decisions ranging from fully centralized to fully decentralized settings, for collaborative approaches versus non-collaborative approaches, and under different amounts of uncertainty budgets. The results demonstrate that the coalition formation mechanism proposes some competitive solutions with savings of the grand coalition. We also find that not only does collaboration always increase the flexibility and resilience of the network but also in collaborative approaches, the average price of robustness is comparatively lower than that of non-collaborative approaches.

Category theory-based collaborative design methodology for mechatronic systems

Recent advances in companies are characterized by highly dynamic, knowledge-intensive and collaborative process. This has become primary concern for mechatronic systems since they involve multiple disciplines and knowledge. This requires a close exchange in order to share knowledge between the different design teams. The first step in knowledge sharing is to identify the most important knowledge that need to be capitalized, which we call “crucial knowledge”. During this exchange, heterogeneous knowledge and modelling languages are involved in the design process, which can lead to conflicts. Hence, the challenge is to continuously capture and handle such conflicts between expert models. Thus, the focus of this paper is to propose a new collaborative design model suitable for mechatronic concurrent design. Our contribution lies in identifying crucial knowledge and resolving conflicts in a formal way in order to ensure efficient collaboration. Our methodology called Category Theory-based Collaborative Design (CaTCoD) is described with its associated meta-model. A demonstrator is also used to validate the proposed methodology using an example from the aeronautic field.

Design for Impact: Wake Wadho, A Cultural Branding through Collaborative Design Model in Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara

Wake Wadho is a trans-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaborative model that combines design thinking and rapid ethnography implemented in three traditional villages in Ngada, Middle Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This collaborative model was born from a pilot program (IKKON) run by the Indonesia Creative Economy Agency (BEKRAF RI). This collaboration involved people from various backgrounds, such as design, art, and anthropology. The three traditional villages in Ngada Regency required more comprehensive action involving facilitation and empowering activities to develop a sustainable and creative ecosystem. The program activities were reviewed based on social, cultural, economic, and geopolitics aspects. This paper illustrates the usage of design as a tool to create sustainable livelihoods. It describes a collaborative design model that combines anthropological and design approaches to create an ‘Experience Journey’ (EJ) consisting of two categories: a service design recommended as a tourism scheme and a sustainable lifestyle product as a tangible product design. This output aimed to emphasize the part of empathy within the design process by considering the sociocultural aspect of the community’s everyday life. Furthermore, the products have authentic and inspiring stories behind them. The initial output was wrapped up in Wake Wadho as a cultural brand.

Research on multi-person collaborative design of BIM drawing based on blockchain

The existing multi-person collaborative design scheme of Building Information Modeling (BIM) integrated with blockchain faces problems such as poor reliability of BIM drawing, inconsistent drawing information, redundant information, and inaccurate protection of copyright interests. This paper proposes a multi-person collaborative design model for BIM drawing that combines blockchain and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). This model uses blockchain to store drawing design information to protect the copyright interests of designers and combines IPFS to ensure the reliability of drawing. A cycle division mechanism is designed to solve the problem of drawing information synchronization when multiple people collaborate in design. The Semantic Differential Transaction (SDT) method is used to achieve incremental update of drawing and reduce the information redundancy of the blockchain. Finally, a comparative analysis and validation evaluation of the scheme is carried out, and the usability of the scheme is illustrated with an illustrative example. The results show that: (1) proposed scheme is feasible for multi-person collaborative design; (2) proposed scheme can effectively ensure the reliability of drawing and reduce the redundancy of blockchain information, so as to achieve copyright protection for designers.

Culturally responsive health research: A collaborative design model for equitable and sustainable community impact

Engaging and sustaining equitable collaboration between researchers and other stakeholders can prove challenging. However, health research processes and products often benefit from the collective insights gleaned when diverse partners work together. As such, co-designed and culturally responsive research often yields significant real-world impacts. We explore the need for change and propose a framework for reimagining research as an inherently collective and collaborative effort. Referencing an illustrative case study and using human-centred design approaches to support culturally responsive work, we offer reflections on how to embrace empathic, inclusive methods that meaningfully engage diverse and under-resourced communities in research co-design.

Robust collaborative maintenance logistics network design and planning

Maintenance service providers to advanced technical devices are confronted with uncertain demand, high cost of components, and the need for certified operators. Collaboration in terms of sharing scarce resources among different facilities in a maintenance logistics network is expected to reduce the delays in the delivery of repaired devices. This study proposes a two-stage robust optimization model for collaborative design and planning of maintenance networks under demand uncertainty. The goal of this model is to determine the optimal allocation of customers to each maintenance center along with the initial stock level of different components in each facility so as to minimize the cost of late deliveries under worst-case demand scenarios. Component and operator sharing strategies are proposed as the recourse actions in this model to hedge against the demand surge. The proposed approach is compared with a deterministic model by the aid of Monte-Carlo simulation on several test instances inspired by a real case study. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the significance of adopting the proposed collaborative mechanisms among maintenance facilities in terms of cost reduction, especially when the demand fluctuation is relatively high.

Take charge: collaboratively designing educational resources for children and adolescents with chronic functional constipation

Co-design, where designers work directly with end-users to create design outcomes, is a successful and popular method for generating user-centred solutions in healthcare. However, partnering directly with end-users is not always possible or appropriate. This article looks at how the author’s 3-Corner Collaborative Design Model was utilized as an alternative to traditional co-design methods in the production of education materials for children and adolescents with Chronic Functional Constipation. With more designers venturing into the health and medical space, it is important that we consider how they can partner with discipline experts to work confidently, effectively and safely in this environment. This article positions the 3-Corner Collaborative Design Model as an appropriate fit for health education projects, when interaction with patients as end-users is not possible, due to its strategic positioning of designer, clinician and patient as knowledge experts and valued contributors.

91 Addressing urgency in grassroots organizations - If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door of leadership

Abstract Grassroots (GR) organizations that develop pipelines of pivotal leadership are better able to respond to the multiple challenges of the day. As public organizations, social media and biased-literature intensify advocacy for the reduction and constraint of animal agriculture (AA), it is clear AA is under concerted attack. Producers must not only learn to cope with changes in weather pattern intensification and droughts, depletion of resources, dramatic policy shifts and more, they must defend the activist narratives. The need for well-informed, competent GR leader communicators to advocate for the beef community has never been more urgent to the future of the beef industry. The Young Cattlemen Leadership Program (YCLP), a partnership between AU Animal Sciences and the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association, is an outreach effort focused on the delivery of an integrated, customized blueprint of content workshops, legislative sessions, industry tours, conferences and mentoring for catalyzed leadership development to meet the current and future needs of a highly diverse state constituency. Based on survey feedback and case analysis, YCLP, now in its seventh cohort, is proving the effectiveness of the collaborative learning design model contextualized around issue topics surrounding AA as alumni have assumed multiple roles of leadership in the organization.

The presence of e-books as digital books can be accepted by users because of the interactive content and display. However, the current format of e-book has not provided a mechanism/platform that accommodates contemporary learning styles on a two-way networked learning basis. E-books are more static in the sense that it has minimal interaction context. E-books have not been able to integrate learners with their learning environment in an interaction construct to support a learning activity. To address this problem, this study recommends a new approach called context-aware and collaborative mobile learning system design model. The method used in implementing the design model is design thinking . Usability testing using the guerrilla usability testing method is carried out to determine the quality of the e-books produced. The results obtained at the stages of empathize and define produced list and learning problems experienced by students when using e-books. The ideate and prototype stages produced e-book prototypes developed based on context-aware and collaborative mobile learning system design model. In the test stage, usability testing of 30 students showed good results. It is said to be good because there are no assignments with a score of one in the rubric usability testing table. So it can be concluded that the design model applied to the prototype e-book is feasible and can be understood by users . 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Collaborative Design of the Wrap Angles Between Impeller and Space Diffuser of Diagonal-Flow Pump

The wrap angle is one of the key parameters in design of impeller and space diffuser. At present, it is mainly designed based on theoretical estimation and experience. However, there are few studies on collaborative design. In this paper, the process model of collaborative design was put forward, then 25 kinds of wrap angle matching schemes between impeller and space diffuser were determined by orthogonal experimental method, and it was completed to study basic change law of the external characteristics and flow field under different matching schemes. It was shown that impeller wrap angle had more obvious influence on the hydraulic characteristics than space diffuser wrap angle within a certain wrap angle range. Therefore, the optimal impeller wrap angle should be determined in the collaborative design at first. By the multidimensional evaluation criteria, it was carried out such as the selection of the space diffuser wrap angle. It can reduce a lot of work to easily find a better balance about multi-influence of the multi-component parameters, and get an optimal performance when the diagonal-flow pump is used in oil and gas development.

Collaborative maritime design using sequential optimisation and reliability assessment

The collaborative design of maritime structures involves not only multiple disciplines, but also uncertainty of information. Collaborative optimisation (CO) is a powerful multidisciplinary design and optimisation strategy known for its two-layer structure. In the original mathematical formulation of system-level optimisation, the second-level compatibility constraints are utilised. However, this makes a system-level CO algorithm have additional non-linear characteristics. Furthermore, during design optimisation considering uncertainty, the introduction of uncertainty quantisation increases complexity. Overall, the approach can reduce accuracy and efficiency. To solve these problems, a decoupling strategy called sequential optimisation and reliability assessment is proposed in this paper together with a collaborative uncertainty design and optimisation model. Three examples are provided to show how this hierarchical strategy can be applied to modern distributed maritime engineering design processes.

Decentralized determination of design variables among cooperative designers for product platform design in a product family

Establishing a product family enables companies leverage mass customization to meet demand from different market segments. Product family design environment can be inherently decentralized and requires a number of entities to achieve a common goal. Issues related to product platform design can be modeled as multi-objective optimization with respect to design variables, production cost and other factors. A common drawback in decentralized environments is information sharing which can reduce the quality of the decision especially under partial information or information privacy restrictions. In this paper, we present an agent-based collaborative design model and propose a decentralized coordination mechanism to facilitate decision-making. This is achieved by modeling a collaborative design environment and applying a two-phase augmented Lagrangian-based algorithm such that the decision makers achieve a common goal without having a global view of the entire design space. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed mechanism using a General Aviation Aircraft and a Universal Electric Motor product family design problem. The product designers and the platform designer act independently and each has no knowledge of the decision functions of other designers. The computational results showed that quality solutions can be obtained in decentralized environments.

Two-stage collaborative global optimization design model of the CHPG microgrid

With the continuous developing of technology and reducing of investment costs, renewable energy proportion in the power grid is becoming higher and higher because of the clean and environmental characteristics, which may need more larger-capacity energy storage devices, increasing the cost. A two-stage collaborative global optimization design model of the combined-heat-power-and-gas (abbreviated as CHPG) microgrid is proposed in this paper, to minimize the cost by using virtual storage without extending the existing storage system. P2G technology is used as virtual multi-energy storage in CHPG, which can coordinate the operation of electric energy network and natural gas network at the same time. Demand response is also one kind of good virtual storage, including economic guide for the DGs and heat pumps in demand side and priority scheduling of controllable loads. Two kinds of storage will coordinate to smooth the high-frequency fluctuations and low-frequency fluctuations of renewable energy respectively, and achieve a lower-cost operation scheme simultaneously. Finally, the feasibility and superiority of proposed design model is proved in a simulation of a CHPG microgrid.
