Value management (VM) and its integration in the whole life cycle (WLC) have become huge concepts for construction projects to provide additional value of an asset for the end user or client. However, the role of VM and its integration as part of the WLC in a construction project remain reactive, and highly impacted by nature of the project, and this has become more challenging with the epidemic impact of COVID-19. This research aims to investigate the mechanisms that delivers value management as part of the “re-invent” strategy proposed by the Construction Leadership Council in the UK government to improve WLC for buildings. In addition to existing secondary data from the literature, primary data were attained using a focus group with six quantity surveyors from different cost consultancies in the UK to gather qualitative evidence using their experiences, perceptions, and key challenges they face when integrating VM. Findings revealed that value management is primarily being used as a cost-cutting tool, the majority of quantity surveyors lack knowledge of what it encompasses, hence the industry needs a more proactive strategy towards it. Analysis revealed that value management is primarily implemented as a cost-cutting solution, key stakeholders (e.g., facility managers) need to be integrated, and there is no standardised process to incorporate value management in projects. The study proposes a four-dimensional (governance and policies, sustainability, industry’s best practice, and innovation and technology) strategy to facilitate more holistic considerations of value management post COVID-19. Future work looks into evaluating the strategy proposed while acknowledging different procurement routes.

Promoting resource- and energy-efficient home lighting through technology and behaviour change requires an understanding of how residents currently use lighting and what they want from it. However, users' needs and desires relating to lighting in homes are poorly understood, as research is still limited. This paper aims to provide a fuller picture of residents' experiences with their home lighting. Interviews about how residents perceive the character of lighting and luminaires and lighting use suggest that home lighting has nine capabilities: to enable vision; to facilitate visual tasks; to display objects; to send a message; to support a particular atmosphere; to shape the architectural space; to offer a visual aesthetic experience; to maintain or change rhythmicity; and to evoke memories. Secondary data confirmed five of them. The identified capabilities relate to behavioural goals, psychological wellbeing and social needs. We conclude that seemingly wasted light in people's homes, i.e. lights left on in unoccupied rooms, can serve a purpose for the residents, such as avoiding visual or aesthetic discomfort, making the home inviting, benefitting people outside and providing safety. Findings have implications for the further development of new lighting technologies and design, energy-saving campaigns targeting residents and for urban outdoor environments.

The purpose of this research is to provide information on sustainable livestock strategies with regard to the environment and social of Papua local communities in the process of cattle breeding process. In addition to increasing the productivity of local livestock, it is required the efficiency of the use of feed materials derived from agricultural waste. This policy should be supported with innovation and technology. Data collection method of this research using two types of data that is primary data and secondary data, primary data obtained from interviews of 30 breeders and the determination of respondents is conducted by way of purposive sampling. Secondary data were obtained from the Livestock Service Office of Merauke Regency, Department of Food Crops and Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The field survey results show that in addition to the field grass as the main feed, all breeders use agricultural waste as forage for livestock feed and use little palm oil waste. Types of agricultural waste used are rice straw, sweet potato straw, corn stalks and leaves, and groundnut straw. The highest agricultural waste production is corn stalk and leaves and banana waste both based on fresh produce and dry ingredients. In addition to the most common maintenance pattern is extensively and the best livestock development sites are in elikobel. Site selection based on various things such as location of topography, suboptimal land use, integration pattern optimization, developing local livestock such as poultry and pigs. The conclusion of this research is the strategy of development of sustainable livestock in border area can be conducted in elikobel district with various records such as the need of government policy related to environmentally careful livestock integration system, improving feed innovation and technology, livestock breeding, reproduction technology, and animal disease control to increase productivity and production of local livestock.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test how to integrate innovation pedagogy into journalism and information and communication technology (ICT) teaching while creating a new product for a national media industry. The objectives of the study were to create a new joint course model in which students from different degree programmes would learn and create products and services together in three different stages: networked and collaborative learning, group-based learning and individual learning. Design/methodology/approach Innovation pedagogy is a practically oriented method and can be used for doing applied research. This new learning approach defines how knowledge is assimilated, produced and used while innovating. The research focus is on applied research, and one vital aim is to enhance students’ ability to participate in research and development activities with businesses and other organisations in society. Findings The learning outcomes based on learning at all stages, i.e. individual, group and networks, were successfully achieved, and a new course model was created. However, the model needs further development. Originality/value Innovation pedagogy is a new learning approach. Innovation has been a buzz word in education for at least for a decade – some universities have even embedded innovative thinking throughout their curricula, leading to a new learning approach called innovation pedagogy. Could innovation pedagogy help us to achieve better learning outcomes? Do journalists really need innovation competences? Could journalists and ICT students study together? To answer these questions, the authors began an experiment that uses innovation pedagogy.

The aim of this article is to determine the relationship of subsidies for starting up a business with its further development. Presented synthesis combines the analysis of literature, secondary data sources, descriptive statistics and observation. Thus, the article is a part of the cognitive function of economics. The analysis shows that recent years were characterized by a clear quantitative growth of newly registered enterprises.  This was accompanied by large public support provided in the form of subsidies for starting up a business. However, in many cases, the objective of the business was to be granted subsidies rather than its development under the auspices of the financing institutions

Resumen. Desde la Sociología del Trabajo, la Antropología, la Sociología de Género, la Sociología de la Educación, se viene denunciando los procesos de segregación laboral a los que están sometidas las mujeres: horizontal y vertical. Desde la década de los ochenta del siglo XX, las aulas universitarias españolas están feminizadas. Proporcionalmente, las alumnas son mayoría entre los egresados, pero siguen teniendo más dificultades que sus compañeros para encontrar un trabajo, salir de la precariedad laboral, recibir el mismo salario por el mismo trabajo, tener las mismas oportunidades de promoción, etc. Y nos preguntamos si una institución como la Universidad, formalmente igualitaria, sede de la ciencia, la objetividad, la racionalidad, mantiene mecanismos de cierre y exclusión social que dificultan el acceso de las mujeres a la docencia universitaria, y de las profesoras a la promoción, especialmente la promoción al cuerpo de catedráticos de universidad, produciendo y reproduciendo lo que conocemos como techos de cristal. Se comprueba, a la luz de los datos, que las profesoras universitarias se concentran en determinadas Ramas de Conocimiento (segregación horizontal) y en determinadas categorías docentes (segregación vertical). El acceso y la promoción en la Universidad se asientan en la meritocracia, de ahí, su imagen de objetividad, neutralidad, igualdad de oportunidades. Es difícil entender y hacer entender que la propia cultura universitaria tiene sesgos, códigos de género, que aplican mecanismos de discriminación hacia las docentes. Es importante conocer las situaciones concretas que se viven dentro de las universidades. Y esto es lo que nos hemos propuesto para la Universidad de León (ULE).Adoptando la perspectiva de género y realizando un análisis de datos secundarios, comprobamos la segregación horizontal y vertical a la que están sometidas las docentes. Asimismo, descubrimos la existencia del techo de cristal: la proporción de catedráticas en la ULE es inferior a la media nacional.Palabras clave: género, enseñanza superior, discriminación, igualdad de oportunidades, universidad.Abstract. From the Sociology of Labor, Anthropology, Gender Sociology, and Sociology of Education, the processes of labor segregation to which women are subjected (horizontal and vertical) are being denounced. Since the eighties of the 20th century, Spanish university classrooms have been feminized. Proportionally, female students are the majority of the graduates, but they still have more difficulties than their peers to find a job, get out of job insecurity, receive the same salary for the same job, have the same opportunities for promotion, etc. In addition, we ask ourselves if an institution such as the university, formally egalitarian, seat of science, objectivity, rationality, maintains mechanisms of closure and social exclusion that hinder women’s access to university teaching, and female professors to promotion, especially the promotion to the body of university full professors, producing and reproducing what we know as glass ceilings. In the light of the data, it is verified that female university professors concentrate on certain branches of knowledge (horizontal segregation) and on certain categories of professors (vertical segregation).Access and promotion in the University are based on meritocracy, hence its image of objectivity, neutrality, equal opportunities. It is difficult to understand and make understand that the university culture itself has biases, gender codes, which apply mechanisms of discrimination towards female professors. It is important to know the concrete situations that are lived within the universities. Moreover, this is what we have proposed for the University of León (ULE).By adopting a gender perspective and analyzing secondary data, we verify the horizontal and vertical segregation to which the female professors are subjected. Likewise, we discovered the existence of the glass ceiling: the proportion of female professors in the ULE is lower than the national average.Keywords: gender, higher education, discrimination, equal opportunities, university.
