This chapter looks at the background and growth of information and communication technology (ICT) and its use in community health. It gives many examples of the rapidly growing number and variety of ‘mHealth’ programmes that use mobile phones and other wireless devices to deliver health information and services. It explores the effectiveness of these programmes and provides information about developing and running such programmes. It helps the reader assess their context and gives tools to help decide if an mHealth programme is suitable for the community, and whether programme and community have the capacity to use it effectively. It describes the practical steps needed to implement the programme, including building technology partnerships, content development, and careful pretesting of the programme before implementing it more widely.

A sequel to the author’s article in the preceding issue on the origins, purpose, and planners of Los Angeles’s scenic Mulholland Drive, this article traces the phenomenal accomplishment of the 24-mile mountain road’s construction in one year and under budget. It details the supervision and problem-solving by construction engineer DeWitt L. Reaburn, the bureaucratic streamlining, the use of the latest 1920s road-building technology, and the efficient manpower logistics that made this possible.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a technology-level analysis and draw implications regarding the development of low energy advanced convergence building technology by utilizing information in research papers. With this aim, a citation analysis, a technology development stage analysis, a network analysis, and a technology associative map analysis were undertaken. The results showed that countries including the USA and China have carried out much research in the development of low energy advanced convergence building technology, and the technology level was found to have reached the maturity stage. Also, joint research has been conducted by region, and technology development has been done actively through ICT technology convergence such as electric and electronics and information communication. These analyzed results are expected to furnish useful information for strategy building in the development of low energy advanced convergence building technology.

Die wachsende Volatilität im deutschen Energiesektor bietet jenen Unternehmen zukünftig einen Wettbewerbsvorteil, die ihren Energieverbrauch kontinuierlich senken und flexibel anpassen können. Als Werkzeug dafür wurde die Energiewertstrom-Methode um weitere Energieflüsse aus der Gebäude- und Versorgungstechnik sowie um Aspekte der Energieflexibilität erweitert. Dies erlaubt die Gestaltung eines energiekostenoptimalen Wertstroms.   In the light of the increasing volatility in the German energy sector, companies that are able to constantly reduce and control their energy consumption will gain a competitive advantage. Therefore, the Energy Value Stream Method has been extended by adding further energy flows in building technology as well as aspects of flexible energy usage. This enables the design of a value stream that results in low energy consumption and costs.
