Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large housing estates of the post-war era have shaped the face of many cities throughout Europe. In the original plans of the 1950s-1980s they were to amend the urban structure and in many cases they were expected to enable a superior form of communality and urbanity. The estates were built to ease the housing shortage, but were also thought to quite literally become the home for a “new society”, be it under socialist regimes or the democratic welfare state. The reformation of society was expected to be supported by the environment of the newly built estates and, most crucially, their community spaces. The different manifestations of these community spaces were the subject of the second conference of the 45plus network, which took place in Darmstadt in September 2012 and which is documented in this volume. By focusing on community spaces, such as community centers, schools, churches, hospitals, shopping districts but also parks, open spaces and sport-grounds, the contributions to the conference addressed spaces that were thought to be particularly important points of identification for the “new societies” these estates were expected to foster. Community spaces were planned in order to hold the housing estates together – as well designed and attractive built environments, as social hubs and especially as symbolic anchors. Quite often, they boasted prominent design features, intended to serve as recognisable markers of the estates and their programmatic subtexts. While planners and politicians conceptualized community spaces with their potential to shape identification in view, communities tended to appropriate such spaces in different ways and to reinterpret their meanings. In short, local inhabitants – as well as the broader public – possibly identified with community spaces, their individual features and with the ideas and practices they associated with them in significantly different ways than originally intended. Today, the continuing tension between intention and appropriation of community spaces can be understood as an indicator of identification processes and appears to be one of the major challenges in the redevelopment of large housing estates, but might also provide unexpected opportunities. Großwohnsiedlungen der Nachkriegszeit haben das Gesicht vieler Städte in ganz Europa geprägt. Ursprünglich sollten diese Planungen der 1950er bis 1980er Jahre die Stadtstruktur verbessern und teilweise auch eine neue Form von Gemeinschaftlichkeit und Urbanität schaffen. In erster Linie zur Linderung der Wohnungsnot gebaut, wurden die Siedlungen auch als buchstäbliche Heimat für eine "neue Gesellschaft" geplant, sei es unter sozialistischen Regimes oder im demokratischen Wohlfahrtsstaat. Die Umgestaltung der Gesellschaft sollte durch die Gestaltung der neuen Siedlungen unterstützt werden, wobei den gemeinschaftlich genutzten Räumen ein besonderer Stellenwert zukam. Die verschiedenen Ausformungen dieser Räume waren Gegenstand der zweiten Konferenz des 45plus-Netzwerk, die in Darmstadt im September 2012 stattfand und in diesem Band dokumentiert wird. Durch die Fokussierung auf gemeinschaftlich genutzte Räume wie Parks, Freiflächen und Sportplätze, aber auch Gemeindezentren, Schulen, Kirchen, Krankenhäuser, Einkaufsstraßen, stellen die in den Beiträgen der Konferenz angesprochen Räume wichtige Identifikationspunkte der "neue Gesellschaften" dar. Gemeinschaftliche Räume wurden geplant, um die neuen Wohnsiedlungen zusammenzuhalten – als gut gestaltete und attraktive gebaute Umwelt, als soziale Scharniere und vor allem als symbolische Anker. Oft setzten sie prominente Gestaltungsmerkmale um so als Symbole der Siedlungen und ihrer programmatischen Subtexte zu dienen. Während Planer und Politiker die gemeinschaftlichen Räume mit dem Fokus auf ihr Potenzial als Ort der Identifikation gestalteten, wurden diese Räume durch die sie nutzenden Gemeinden in unterschiedlicher Weise angeeignet und auch uminterpretiert. Kurz gesagt, Bewohner – wie auch die breite Öffentlichkeit – verstanden, interpretierten und nutzten die gemeinschaftlichen Räume und deren individuellen Eigenschaften möglicherweise auf deutlich andere Art und Weise als ursprünglich geplant. Heute können die anhaltenden Spannungen zwischen Absicht und Nutzung der gemeinschaftlichen Räume als Indikator für Identifikationsprozesse verstanden werden und stellen gleichzeitig eine der großen Herausforderungen bei der Sanierung von Großwohnsiedlungen dar, offenbaren jedoch vielleicht auch unerwartete Chancen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En mayo de 1934, el Instituto Técnico de la Construcción y Edificación, recién creado por Eduardo Torroja y un selecto grupo de arquitectos e ingenieros, inicia la edición de la revista Hormigón y Acero que, desgraciadamente, sólo tuvo 26 números, mensuales, hasta junio de 1936. En 1941, el mismo Instituto reanuda sus actividades y comprende la importancia de seguir transmitiendo los conocimientos e innovaciones resultantes de sus actuaciones mediante una publicación técnica específica de la construcción. Aparecen entonces los Anales del Instituto Técnico de la Construcción y Edificación , que se publican cada año hasta 1946, en que dicho Instituto se adhiere al Patronato Juan de la Cierva del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), pasando a ser un centro público de investigación en construcción, que se mantiene hasta nuestros días. No obstante, dos años después, hace ahora 60, se reanuda la actividad difusora del Instituto con una nueva publicación periódica, la revista Informes de la construcción , que se puede entender como la continuación de Hormigón y Acero y los Anales , y que se ha mantenido sin interrupción estos 12 lustros.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919–2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will ?nd personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37 research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy. These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern continuum mechanics succinctly as “conceptual analysis, analysis not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning: logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.

Download or read book Social and Solidarity Economy written by Peter Utting and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As economic crises, growing inequality and climate change prompt a global debate on the meaning and trajectory of development, increasing attention is focusing on 'social and solidarity economy' as a distinctive approach to sustainable and rights-based development. While we are beginning to understand what social and solidarity economy is, what it promises and how it differs from 'business as usual', we know far less about whether it can really move beyond its fringe status in many countries and regions. Under what conditions can social and solidarity economy scale up and scale out - that is, expand in terms of the growth of social and solidarity economy organizations and enterprises, or spread horizontally within given territories? Bringing together leading researchers, blending theoretical and empirical analysis, and drawing on experiences and case studies from multiple countries and regions, this volume addresses these questions. In so doing, it aims to inform a broad constituency of development actors, including scholars, practitioners, activists and policy makers.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
