The principal aim of this work is to prescribe creativity into the renovation and reconstruction process in architecture. This issue connects both petrified past and unknown future with the simple idea of preventing local heritage and Portuguese legacy. The field of our research and creative design will be the Rua da Madalena (Madalena Street) in Lisbon downtown – Baixa Pombalina. The case study and estimated results would serve as a prototype for more innovative thinking about renovation of urban tissue and buildings for similar examples. Following the latest economic trends, the rebirth of traditional forms of business and interest for local heritage, we will attempt to bound raw numbers with endless sources of our creative minds. This case study, presented in the Heritage versus Tourism Conference in Lisbon, in May 2016 would be a step-by-step, a “know-how” example for many streets with various ambient over the world. Hence, the architectural and aesthetic values would be presented first, mathematical marketing formula afterward. The equation would involve both tangible and intangible factors and would be our attempt to introduce creative thinking as a ground for concrete, visible consequences. Architecture is a field, where this attempt could succeed. Santrauka Pagrindinis šio tyrimo tikslas – apčiuopti kūrybiškumą architektūros renovavimo ir rekonstravimo procese. Šiame straipsnyje tiek sustabarėjusi praeitis, tiek nežinoma ateitis susiejama su paprasta idėja atmesti vietos paveldą ir portugališkąjį palikimą. Mūsų tyrimo ir kūrybinio projektavimo sritis – Rua da Madalena (Madalenos gatvė), esanti Lisabonos senamiestyje – Baiksoje Pombalinoje. Atvejo tyrimas ir vertinimo rezultatai bus kaip novatoriškesnio mąstymo apie miesto audinio ir pastatų renovavimą, turint mintyje panašius pavyzdžius, prototipas. Atsižvelgdami į naujausias ekonomikos tendencijas, tradicinių verslo formų atgimimą ir susidomėjimą vietos paveldu, sieksime susieti neapdorotus skaičius su begaliniais mūsų kūrybiško proto šaltiniais. Šis atvejo tyrimas, 2016 metų gegužę pristatytas Paveldo versus turizmo konferencijoje Lisabonoje, bus laipsniškas praktinės patirties pavyzdys daugeliui skirtingos aplinkos gatvių visame pasaulyje. Taigi pirmiausia bus pristatytos architektūrinė ir estetinė vertės, vėliau matematinės rinkodaros formulė. Lygtis apims tiek apčiuopiamus, tiek neapčiuopiamus veiksnius, ir tai bus mūsų pastangos remtis kūrybiniu mąstymu kaip konkrečių, matomų rezultatų pagrindu. Architektūra – tai sritis, kurioje šios pastangos gali būti sėkmingos.

The Way

With increasing concerns about global warming, and the cement plants emitting huge CO2, it is necessary to know how the CO2 emits and how much the CO2 emits due to cement manufacture in both direct and indirect ways. A precise method to calculate CO2 emissions including three processes was established in this paper and a case study was provided. From the case of LQDX plant, we can see the amount of CO2 emissions at the right level. The summary of CO2 emissions is consisted by emissions from raw materials, fuels and electricity. The direct CO2 emissions are 0.822 ton CO2 per ton clinker, and the total CO2 emissions are 0.657 ton CO2 per ton cement in this study. Therefore, the way that CO2 emissions due to cement manufacture was pictured and then measured. An approach provides a basic framework to identify various situations in different cement plants in China and other in the rest of the world. The framework would be useful in quantitatively evaluating CO2 emissions for government to know precisely CO2 emissions in cement plants.

Do So

The Moroccan handicraft is threatened by the loss of its knowledge and several authorities are calling to safeguard this cultural heritage through a detailed transcription and development of an interactive multimedia system. In response to this call, this article represents a first step in addressing this need. It provided a basic methodology for building a craft memory which will be considered as a benchmark for handicraft knowledge preservation. The study focuses on identifying the most critical and vulnerable know-how and modelling the knowledge which needs to be retained. To do so, a methodological framework is proposed and validated through a case study on the Moroccan zellige craft. The methods used here are derived from the world of Knowledge Management (KM) and Knowledge Engineering (KE); in particular, MASK method, GAMETH and M3C. Nevertheless, their systematic application is not perfectly adapted, it needs to be in accordance to the craft characteristics and the artisan's profile which is the key point of the current study.

The millennial generation is in the range of 23 to 38 years, which is now a productive and attractive workforce group. It is interesting to be studied where one of their characteristics is prioritizing Work-Life-Balance. It is a term where the generation prioritizes a balance between the world of work and personal life compared to previous generations. They tend to choose jobs that are more flexible in terms of conditions and working hours. So they can have more free time with friends, family, or to develop a hobby as it is stated in the results of research conducted by Ng Schweitzer and Lyons (2010). It is reinforced by the statement that the characteristics that describe the next millennial generation are that they would rather spend money to get certain experiences rather than save to add assets. Of course, millennials generally prefer to travel around Indonesia and the world rather than save for investment. This research aims to: 1) Determine millennial's motivation for traveling; 2). Know how traveling is favored by millennials. The research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological tradition where the data are collected by conducting in-depth interviews. The results of this study provide information about the demographic and psychographic data of millennials, which can be necessary for traveling and tourism businesses to understand who is the target in a pleasant and profitable business.

Although small and consequently often overlooked, Belgium none the less provides historians with an interesting case study for comparing social and economic trends among Western European countries. Belgian society in the nineteenth century was transformed by the same forces as its close neighbours – Britain, France and Germany. Indeed, Belgium was the second country in the world to industrialize and it has long been one of the most heavily urbanized societies as well. Yet urbanization and industrialization affected Belgium in some significantly different ways than they did other Western European countries.

This paper attempts to shed some light on Islamic Nashid (Nasyid) groups in Malaysia, in particular Rabbani, Raihan and Hijjaz. With the emergence of globalization and its entertainment aspect, and due to the huge influence of modernization on the society especially among the youth, there was a need for an alternative entertainment. And, as far as Muslims are concerned, the most effective way in this regard was, to a great extent, Islamic Nashid.  Entertainment itself has been an area of great discussion and dispute among Muslim scholars throughout the ages all over the world. In Malaysia, the issue of allowing or disallowing entertainment specifically songs and music is no longer a big issue. As a matter of fact, entertainment is part of the traditions and culture of the Muslims in this part of the world. Nevertheless, the major concern here is what kind of songs and music do Nashid groups present? Could Islamic Nashid be an alternative to the conventional or non-Islamic songs? Is it possible for Nashid performance to be viewed as an act of worship?  To what extent Nashid groups are contributing in the Islamization of entertainment and enhancement of Islamic awareness in Malaysian society?? The focus of this research is: (1) The historical background of Rabbani, Raihan and Hijjaz Nashid groups (2) The role these groups have been playing in creating Islamic awareness; (3) The Islamization of songs and music as promoted by these three groups; (4) The challenges these Nashid groups are facing in terms of publication and audience attendance etc.; and (5) The future of Islamic Nashid in Malaysia. This research is expected to provide important findings that will enhance Islamic awareness among the society members. Besides, it is hoped that this paper will highlight the effectiveness of Islamic Nashid in Malaysia especially in this borderless globalized village. Keywords: Nasyid, Nashid, Islamic Entertainment, Creativity, virtues, Malaysia. Abstrak Makalah ini cuba menerangkan beberapa kumpulan Nasyid Islam di Malaysia, khususnya RABBANI, RAIHAN DAN HIJJAZ. Dengan kemunculan globalisasi dan aspek hiburannya, dan disebabkan oleh pengaruh besar pemodenan terhadap masyarakat terutama kalangan belia, hiburan alternatif amatlah diperlukan. Cara yang paling berkesan dalam hal ini adalah, sebahagian besarnya, Nasyid Islam. Hiburan itu sendiri merupakan bidang perbincangan dan pertikaian hebat di kalangan para ulama Islam sepanjang zaman di seluruh dunia. Di Malaysia, isu membenarkan atau menolak hiburan khususnya lagu dan muzik tidak lagi menjadi masalah besar. Hakikatnya, hiburan adalah sebahagian daripada tradisi dan budaya umat Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, kebimbangan utama di sini, apakah jenis lagu dan muzik yang didendangkan oleh kumpulan Nasyid tersebut? Bolehkah Nasyid Islam menjadi alternatif kepada lagu konvensional atau yang bersifat tidak Islamik? Adakah mungkin Nasyid dilihat sebagai satu ibadah? Sejauh manakah kumpulan Nasyid menyumbang kepada Islamisasi hiburan dan meningkatkan kesedaran Islam dalam masyarakat Malaysia? Fokus penyelidikan ini adalah: (1) latar belakang kumpulan-kumpulan Nasyid RABBANI, RAIHAN DAN HIJJAZ (2) Peranan kumpulan-kumpulan ini dalam membentuk kesedaran Islam; (3) Islamisasi lagu dan muzik seperti yang diketengahkan oleh ketiga-tiga kumpulan ini; (4) Cabaran yang dihadapi kumpulan-kumpulan Nasyid ini dari segi penerbitan dan menarik minat pendengar; dan (5) Masa depan Nasyid Islam di Malaysia. Penyelidikan ini dijangka memberikan penemuan penting yang akan meningkatkan kesedaran Islam di kalangan masyarakat. Di samping itu, diharapkan makalah ini akan menonjolkan keberkesanan Nashyd Islam di Malaysia terutamanya dalam dunia globalisasi tanpa sempadan. Kata Kunci: Nasyid, Hiburan yang bersifat Islamik, kreativiti, nilai-nilai murni, Malysia.

The Future

This paper was designed in order to know how far skills needed for the future manager (according to the literature) correspond to what managers' students perceive as important, and how courses of a management training program perceived contributing in performing a managerial job effectively. Data were collected from a sample of 190 managers from the public sector, who participated in the Bar Ilan University (Israel), managerial training program, from 1986/87 to 1989/90. The participants were requested to complete an attitude survey questionnaire. Findings largely reflect the world of the future manager mentioned in the literature. As regarding the usefulness of the managerial training program to job performance, findings indicate that the management training program correspond only partially to what is needed for performing one's job effectively. Too much time was devoted to transmitting knowledge rather than indoctrinating skills.

Housing Reconstruction

Abstract The Tsunami disaster on the morning of December 26th, 2004 caused thousands of casualties and created enormous destruction in the twelve affected countries around the Indian Ocean. The hardest hit region was the conflict ridden province of Aceh in Indonesia, with an estimated 165,000 people dead or missing and around 15 percent of the surviving population made homeless (see BRR 2005). The Tsunami catastrophe was followed by — at least for developing countries — an unprecedented scale of relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction operations. A multitude of actors from all over the world took action in the affected areas and contributed to the rebuilding of the devastated areas, following a “build back better” policy. In the light of the huge number of people made homeless, one of the most prominent aspects of the reconstruction process was housing, where about 130,000 reconstruction homes were built in Aceh alone after the disaster (see UNORC-IAS 2009). This paper discusses the housing reconstruction approach based on a case study in a Tsunami affected village on the north-east coast of Aceh. In conclusion this case demonstrates the benefits of more participation in reconstruction.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
