The article deals with the process of the development of components, selection and use of materials required to assemble an universal rotation module. The use of the right materials and production processes is an important factor in the development of any new machines. The paper first describes the function of the universal rotation module. Furthermore, it focuses on the development process of selected parts of the prototype, especially the outer cover of the module as well as other important parts. The main problem is to correctly design and manufacture the module so that the engine and other mechanical parts can be placed inside. The technologies that were used in the development of the rotary module are metal machining and plastic printing by additive technology. It also deals with materials that were used in the production of the first generation of the functional prototype and in the development and testing in the pre-production phase.

The 1948 Nakba has, in light of the 1993 Oslo Accords and Palestinian refugee activists' mobilisation around the right of return, taken on a new-found centrality and importance in Palestinian refugee communities. Closely-related to this, members of the ‘Generation of Palestine’, the only individuals who can recollect Nakba memories, have come to be seen as the guardians of memories that are eventually to reclaim the homeland. These historical, social and political realities are deeply rooted in the ways in which the few remaining members of the generation of Palestine recollect 1948. Moreover, as members of communities that were destroyed in Palestine, and whose common and temporal and spatial frameworks were non-linearly constituted anew in Syria, one of the multiples meanings of the Nakba today can be found in the way the refugee communities perceive and define this generation.

The school inclusion involves much more than the right to a place in an institution of regular education. It encompasses the right of the student to rely on various pedagogical alternatives, according to their specific characteristics to help in the teachinglearning process and become subject in the construction of knowledge. Thinking about the difficulties of visually impaired students being included in the regular school and as data gathered through research, it was found restricted access to literary wo rks to the visually impaired. Thus students of the Curso Técnico em Publicidade from the Instituto Estadual de Educação Visconde de Cairu, Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul, formed a study group in order to find alternatives to fill this gap. Came the idea of developing talking books from the tales and children's stories and thus was born Audiobooks Project. Throughout the project, notes, fiel d diaries were being made and were being collected materials so that each step was documented. This study discusses the development process Audiobooks Project, from its initial conception to distribution of materials to schools in the area. It is expected to provid e support for similar projects that are produced or that new pedagogical alternatives are designed, benefiting all special students and contributing to the construction of knowledge and effective citizenship.

The protection of intellectual property (IP) is a crucial area to support the development process of any country, as it is in this context that the biggest strategic disputes are taking place. In recent years Brazil has developed some actions to achieve greater efficiency in the public IP management system, but are we on the right track? The present study seeks to present answers regarding the performance of Brazil and to highlight the advances and challenges regarding the IP system. The methodological approach was structured based on a review in the literature, highlighting the scientific, economic and technological indicators on the development of IP and the main IP objects registered with the Brazilian national intellectual property body (INPI) in the period of 2013 to 2016, in the areas of patents, trademarks, industrial design, computer program, circuit topography, technology contracts and geographical indication.

Abstract An approach to support the appropriate definition, formulation and presentation of requirements obeying the needs of the employees is being presented. Classifiying the needs for information of the employees according to some characteristics, a guideline for how to promote the information needed by them can be developed. The goal is to ensure that everyone involved in the process — even the subcontractor — has the right information available in the right form at the right time. Defining requirements lists, splitting them into partial requirements lists for each area of the company, each process phase or each team, and then formulating these requirements and presenting them in an adequate way is the proceeding strived for. The result will be implemented into an information infrastructure to support the product development process continuously.

In 2012, the European Bioanalysis Forum published a recommendation on biomarker method development and the bioanalysis of biomarkers in support of drug development. Since then, there has been significant discussion on how to bring the topic of context of use of biomarker assays to the forefront so that the purpose of the assay, the use of the data and the decisions being made with the data are well defined and clearly understood, not just by the bioanalytical scientist, but across all stakeholders. Therefore, it is imperative that discussions between the bioanalytical laboratory and the end users of the data happen early (and regularly) in the drug development process to enable the right assays to be developed and appropriately validated to generate the correct data and allow suitable decisions to be made. This updated refinement to the previous European Bioanalysis Forum recommendation will highlight the items to consider when discussing context of use for biomarker assay development and validation, thus enabling the correct conversations to occur and the move away from the misapplication of PK assay validation criteria to biomarker assays.

SUMMARY: By applying Industry 4.0, modernization of the production processes in industry is achieved. However, the safety of workers must be a priority. Automation of production processes and raising it to a higher level can be achieved by employing collaborative robots working together with workers. The degree of safety measures guarantees that there are no work injuries. In using collaborative robots we exploit all the advantages that they possess over first-generation industrial robots. They work together with workers, workers work in a safe environment, robots take up less space, they are not physically separated from workers, they are easy to manipulate, they are cheaper, and are suitable for small and medium size companies. We have the possibility of introducing different levels of automation in the production process, i.e. we can partially automate the tasks where complete automation is too complex or not economical. The use of collaborative robots will grow in the future, since the goals of the fourth industrial revolution cannot be achieved without collaborative robots, in other words, without the "smart manufacturing process" or "smart factory".

Due to the shift in partner’s identity, there have been growing interests in understanding characteristics, skills and behaviours of accounting partners. Given that Big 4 Accounting firms are supposedly international accounting firms that are organized in similar structures, an interesting question of whether the same partner qualities can be applied in the Big 4 accounting firms for a non-western context such as Asia. As far as we know, no such study has been conducted in an Asian context. We argue this could be of great interest to the Big 4 Accounting firms as Asia is one of their fastest growing regions and it is essential they have partners who are equipped with the right attributes to ride the waves of rapid growth. Accordingly, our research aims to identify the essential attributes of a partner in the Big 4 accounting firms in Singapore.Our data collection involved interviewing 24 partners and ‘partners-to-be’ from the Big 4 Accounting firms in Singapore. From the data, we identified a number of attributes of a partner. Essential attributes include technical expertise, strong client relationship, solid leadership skill, team management skill, a strong sense of integrity and ethics, and good business sense. There are a few ‘good to have’ attributes that include overseas exposure, being IT savvy and having ‘X’ factor. Our study also highlighted that nurturing partner attributes may involve a development process. Mechanisms within the partner development process include having senior partners to be mentor, imitate a role model, sense-making through leadership and wide exposure to clients.

In product development, the interfaces between distinct phases of a design process are not well defined and largely misunderstood. The same ambiguity holds true for interactions among distributed stakeholders engaged in shared, concurrent design tasks. Such vagueness fosters poor communication, problematic changeovers, and hard-to-manufacture designs. Resulting design processes tend to be iterative and not only increase product development costs and extend time-to-market, but also ultimately impede collaboration. What is needed is the ability to propagate decision-critical, up-to-date information alongside design knowledge for both sequential and concurrent design tasks. This is particularly important for dependent and interdependent decisions that cannot be made in isolation. To address this need, digital interfaces are being developed as key components to successful collaboration in distributed design and manufacture applications. Such digital interfaces will constitute a means of communicating critical information and will address the need for allocating responsibility for decisions. The potential implementation of a digital interface is illustrated in an example focusing on the production of a functional prototype of a disposable camera spool.

Abstract There have been widespread interests in the development and application of World Wide Web (WWW) to support decision-making activities in product design and manufacture. An increasing number of web applications are emerging and a large number of practitioners are keen on trying these web-based decision support systems. In the meanwhile, it becomes increasingly difficult to surf for appropriate web applications on the Internet with general-purpose search engines. This paper describes a web site, WAPIP, that has been developed specifically to support new product introduction activities. It provides databases for software vendors and researchers to register their web applications with the “wapip” search engine. It also provides facilities to support practitioners in product design and manufacture to search rapidly for the right web applications suitable for solving their problems. This paper discusses the various issues regarding the design, development and operation of this “wapip” search engine.
