Development Projects and programs have frequently appeal to images and in particular to photography in diverse textual registers and virtual spaces: technical reports, illustrating NGOs websites, passbooks and report cover, brochures for donors, among other things. If in some of this registers images appear subsidized to a main text, in other they occupy a prominent place in development narrations. It was this aspect precisely that called my attention to examine a photographic corpus arranged in albums that register the implementation process of a development program intended for indigenous people in northern Argentina: to find out in its pages a development visual narrative. The photo albums under analysis were produced during the implementation of “Componente de Attention a la Población Indígena” between 1999 and 2005. The photographic images appear with all their creative potential and load with an interpretation about the development world. They invite us to reflect upon the marginal place of photography in the development field.

AbstractThis article examines squatter resistance to a World Bank-funded forest and paper factory project. The article illustrates how diverse actors came together at the sites of rural development projects in early postcolonial Kenya. It focuses on the relationship between the rural squatters who resisted the project and the political elites who intervened, particularly President Kenyatta. Together, these two groups not only negotiated the reformulation of a major international development program, but they also worked out broader questions about political authority and political culture. In negotiating development, rural actors and political elites decided how resources would be distributed and they entered into new patronage-based relationships, processes integral to the making of the postcolonial political order.

Abstract One of the fundamental ways in which an advantage over competitors can be gained in business is to develop real estate portfolios in such a way that will lead to an increase in market share and value for shareholders. This serves as justification for the formulation and implementation of specific real estate strategies regarding the best manner in which to use CRE, make decisions regarding restructuring, and carry out necessary development projects, taking into account the criteria of: location, time, and procurement options. This paper presents the formulation and realization of real estate strategies, focusing on the use of the category of property value. Moreover, the authors formulate a possible classification of CRE, which is useful from the perspective of real estate strategies, in addition to identifying and evaluating different types of property values which can be used for real estate strategies. For the majority of operational properties, these categories differ from market value. The last part of the publication provides a reference of selected valuation methods used to determine the value of CRE in the context of formulating and implementing real estate strategies.

Concerns exists regarding natural disasters, but what about the resulting power outages? This study investigates the characteristics of a digital visual narrative depicting the loss of electrical power after a natural disaster to identify how such situations are represented in images found on the internet. A qualitative approach with an exploratory scope was taken using digital methods. Six events in different places were selected, and 4691 images were analyzed using the Google Cloud Vision API. A constant comparison method was used to identify categories from these images. Then, a manual analysis was performed on a sample of the images of each event, and then categorized. It was found that more than half of the images refer to categories such as infrastructure, nature, and hazards, while the energy category was represented in 13.02% of the images. Most images were photographs; however, the non-photographic images found contained useful information regarding energy. Even when all events featuring power outages, few focused on the lack of energy and more on impacts to the infrastructure, despite energy being required for cities’ recovery.

PBMR has initiated a research and development program wherein a network of expertise relating to PBMR-specific technology is to be established. As a result of this initiative four specific PBMR sponsored technology development projects have been initiated at Stellenbosch University. The work done and still to be done towards these projects will be presented. The first project relates to the characterization of the flow dynamics of particles (ions, atoms and clusters) in a high pressure and velocity (9 MPa and 120 m/s) stream of helium due to various body-force fields (magnetic, electric and centrifugal); the ultimate objective of this project is to develop a graphite dust and particle scrubbing system. The second project relates to an entirely passive reactor cooling system (RCCS) using thermosyphon-type heat pipes with no pumps and active controls. The third project relates to the fuel temperature measurement under normal and loss of coolant pressure conditions using a fibre-optic Bragg-grating method. A fourth project relates to energy efficiency improvement by the conversion of waste, decay, after and residual heat into electrical power. This project makes use of two-phase closed loop thermosyphon-type heat pipes to transport the heat to an external heat engine, such as free piston type Stirling engine or organic Rankine cycle system. The research activities needed to meet the objectives of the above projects will be presented and discussed in this paper.

Abstract There is scant literature about identifying factors contributing to the success of the implementation of programs to help understand the interrelationships among multiple facets of implementation. In this paper, a front-line implementer reviewed the execution practice of Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in her former school in terms of program, people, process, policy and place (5Ps). By examining the factors contributing to the success of the implementation, the authors intend to fill the gap between the research and the practical school-based front-line implementation. Although the program implementation process was examined in researchers’ “expert” perspective, it would be helpful if more research employed front-line workers as collaborators and participants in the implementation process to understand what actually happen in the program implementation process.

ABSTRAK Salah satu tujuan yang ingin dicapai melalui program dan proyek-proyek pembangunan pemerintah adalah tumbuhnya partisipasi aktif masyarakat dalam proses perencanaan dan penerapan proyek-proyek pembangunan. Gagasan ini didasarkan pada konsep bahwa melalui proses partisipasi, masyarakat akan memahami nilai, tujuan dan manfaat proyek-proyek pembangunan tersebut bagi dirinya sehingga pada saat proyek diterapkan akan mentransformasi kehidupan masyarakat menuju kesebuah kehidupan yang lebih maju dan mapan. Dengan demikian, proyek pembangunan tersebut memberikan dampak yang signifikan bagi kemajuan masyarakat tersebut. Namun realitas di lapangan jauh berbeda masyarakat cenderung pasif dan tidak terlibat dalam proyek pembangunan. Pada umumnya para perencana dan pelaksana pembangunan melihat bahwa penyebab dari kepasifan ini terletak di dalam masyarakat itu sendiri yaitu pada nilai, budaya, tingkat pendidikan. Terkait dengan masalah kepasifan masyarakat ini, Penulis mengajukan argumen bahwa tatanan manajemen birokrasi proyek pembangunan itu sendiri adalah salah satu penghambat per- tumbuhan partisipasi masyarakat. Sistem pengawasan yang ketat, keterikatan irama kerja pada periode anggaran serta kontradiksi-kontradiksi dalam proses pengambilan keputusan antara pucuk pimpinan dengan para pelaksana di lapangan. Seluruh faktor-faktor ini membuat birokrasi proyek pembangunan menjadi tidak sensitif pada pertumbuhan aspirasi masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi. Untuk mengatasi problema manajemen ini perlu dibangun sebuah mekanisme informasi di luar birokrasi dan dalam hal ini Model Tindak Manusia (Human Action Model) seperti yang telah diujicobakan oleh PSLH-ITB di Ciamis dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai alternatif untuk diterapkan dalam implementasi proyek-proyek pembangunan sehingga dapat menjembatani kelemahan manajemen birokrasi pembangunan tersebut. ABSTRACT One of the objectives to be achieved through development programs and projects is the growth of community participation in the planning and the implementation process of development projects, which is based upon the ideas that through participation the communities would accept the ideals and understand the benefit of the project. Thus in turn, the project will be supported and transform the communities towards a more develop one. However, the reality is far different, people tend to be passive and not involved in the development process; hence, the development planners and managers see the cause of the passivity lies in the community itself, whether it's cultural values, education level, etc. The author argues one of the causes of the lack of participation of the community lies in the bureaucratic structure of the project management itself. Strict monitoring system, the attachment of working rhythms to the budget period of time and the existence of two levels of decision making between the chief executive and the project managers. These factors make the bureaucracy of the development project insensitive to the growing aspirations of the community to participate. In the closing part, the author proposes the Human Action Model as has been tested by PSLH-ITB in Ciamis as an alternative to be applied in the implementation of development projects to bridge the weaknesses of the development project management.

Scrum methodology is a novel framework for teaching intended to scaffold students' learning process when they work on complex, real-world tasks. It is originally a project management framework frequently used in business and industry to manage projects. Scrum methodology is increasingly used in educational contexts. Yet, it is also a rather complex framework and more insight in how teachers understand and implement Scrum methodology is needed. Twelve teachers attended a professional development program and simultaneously implemented Scrum methodology in their chemistry lessons. Teachers' didactical expertise and pedagogical expertise appeared to play a key role during the implementation process, whereas teachers' subject matter expertise, and other factors such as teaching context, teaching experience and personal biography seemed to be less important. Didactical and pedagogical expertise enhances teaching with Scrum: it supports the implementation as well as increases its effectiveness, independently of teaching context, experience and personal biography. This would mean Scrum methodology offers possibilities for teachers to enhance and enrich their teaching practice.
