The network is a model that may be able to respond to public needs by overcoming some limitations of other approaches. In literature, a generalizable model is often absent and not applicable to more than one productive sector. The case study uses the "Torino Model" to highlight the most frequent features and measurable elements of the network through a bottom-up coding approach by ATLAS software. The case is analyzed through interviews, documents analysis and observation of the functioning of the network. Sustainability, management and the main network outcomes are the elements that the study examines the case study. The analysis responds to the gap identified in the literature concerning the application to a system composed of institutions. The essential elements linked to know-how, the exchange of training and information and therefore the growth of intangible value constitute the essential basis for the establishment of a successful network, and this is also highlighted by the case study. The case study highlights how the network between institutions reduces costs by eliminating the duplication of services offered and increasing effectiveness and efficiency through increasing other factors such as the professional ability to respond to needs by immediately putting institutions and professionals in communication. The model confirms the ability to overcome the gap related to the network between institutions and between public and private, increasing the well-being of the local system.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to know, from a three-dimensional perspective (operational, emotional and behavioral), the process of “putting down roots” related with the implementation of Kaizen until it becomes sustainable. The research aims to know how this “putting down roots” process is carried out, what transformations occur, what elements are involved and what role they represent in achieving sustainability. Design/methodology/approach For this purpose, a methodology based on the case study has been used, an interpretive approach to reality has been adopted as a paradigm and the Grounded Theory has been applied as an analytical technique. Findings The results suggest the existence of a transformation process that leads to creating new habits, beliefs and feelings, a phenomenon that the authors identify as a three-dimensional learning process (operational, emotional and behavioral). Practical implications This type of learning is perceived as a transition toward an organizational culture that ensures the roots of the Kaizen principles, which is essential for its sustainability and which favors the creation of talent and the well-being of employees, two challenges that the Kaizen of the twenty-first century must face. Originality/value The document includes innovative contributions to the Kaizen sustainability phenomenon, as it is dealt with from a three-dimensional perspective that underlies the inhibitors and enablers known in the current literature.

El propósito de este estudio es analizar el discurso del profesor de Educación Física (EF) y del profesor de grupo, sobre el concepto de EF, su orientación pedagógica, aprendizajes esperados y la transferencia de aprendizajes, en una escuela primaria pública (EP-PUB) y una privada (EP-PRIV). La investigación fue de carácter cualitativo a partir de un estudio de casos: dos docentes de cada unidad de observación: un profesor de grupo y otro de educación física en cada escuela. Los métodos utilizados fueron el fenomenológico y el hermenéutico, con apoyo de los analítico-sintético y teórico-deductivo. Como técnicas de acopio de información se utilizaron entrevistas a profundidad y bibliográficas. El análisis del discurso se sustentó en las tipologías y nivel de reflexión planteados por Viciana, Delgado, y Del Villar (1997). Los resultados destacan planteamientos distantes a las definiciones establecidas de referencia entre los actores de la educación primaria pública y privada. Sus discursos, indican atributos parciales y apenas explicativos al compararse con los planteados a nivel nacional para México por la Secretaria de Educación Pública (SEP) y en el contexto internacional por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO). Sin embargo, es posible admitir en los discursos, semejanzas parciales con referentes cercanos a las perspectivas y orientación pedagógica actuales de la EF; aunque en el presente se requiere responder al paradigma del ser humano multidimensional en proceso de construcción de su vida y la EF apoya la línea de bienestar integral y su desarrollo en diferentes contextos.  Abstract. The purpose of this study is to analyze the discourse of Physical Education (PE) and group teachers on the concept of PE, its pedagogical orientation, expected learning from students, and learning transfer, in a public primary school (EP-PUB) and a private school (EP-PRIV). The research was qualitative, developed from a case study: two teachers from each unit: one group teacher and one physical education teacher in each school. The methods used were phenomenological and hermeneutic, supported by the analytical-synthetic and theoretical-deductive approaches. In-depth interviews and bibliographical techniques were used as information-gathering tools. The analysis of the discourse was supported in the typologies and level of reflection postured by Viciana, Delgado and Del Villar (1997). The results highlight distant approaches to established definitions of reference among actors in public and private primary education. Their speeches indicate partial and barely explanatory attributes when compared to those raised at the national level for Mexico by the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) and in the international context by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). However, in the speeches it is possible to detect partial similarities with standards close to the current perspectives and pedagogical orientation of PE; at present, there is the need to respond to the paradigm of the multidimensional human being in the process of building their life, and PE supports the integral line of well-being and its development in different contexts.

This study aims to look at the forms of work motivation that are applied in increasing the productivity of employees of the Bantaeng Regency Statistics Office, and to determine the factors that influence employee motivation. This type of research is a case study with the reason that this study is specific to clearly describe the meaning or phenomenon that occurs. This study also uses the naturalistic paradigm approach (qualitative) to analyze and construct employees who are directed to obtain data based on empirical facts. Data analysis was carried out by data reduction focused on selecting, simplifying, abstracting and transforming crude data from field notes, followed by data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the reciprocal system looks at the three indicators, namely: 1) Providing work motivation to employees through the level of well-being, 2) promotion and 3) the completeness of office facilities and infrastructure can produce increasing levels of productivity, giving motivation through promotion have a positive impact because employees have the ability to create effectiveness and efficiency in work, office facilities and infrastructure have undergone spontaneous changes, namely from manual to computerized systems.

Urban food systems primarily rely on foods grown in rural spaces, and often face challenges in creating spaces to grow fresh, healthful and affordable food in cities. Urban food harvest organizations aim to overcome these challenges by locating and harvesting food that already exists in cities on the numerous fruit- and nut-bearing trees located on public and private lands. Hidden Harvest is a leading initiative for urban fruit and nut harvesting in Canada, and unique in its for-profit social enterprise model. The organization aims to legitimize and support the practice of harvesting fruits and nuts in urban areas, and provides a means to increase access to—and availability of—fresh, healthful foods hyper-locally in Ottawa, as people harvest from their own (or nearby) neighborhoods. This field report examines the challenges and opportunities faced by Hidden Harvest in attempting to link multiple social, environmental and economic goals relating to food sovereignty, social justice and ecological sustainability. In particular, the organization seeks to establish a self-sustaining business model through innovative solutions and the development of networks with local food processes, food organizations and businesses, which enables Hidden Harvest to grow and develop distinct ties and relationships in Ottawa. This case study reveals how organizations such as Hidden Harvest use food to enhance and tie together local economies, knowledge, food security and community well-being.

This paper presents the evaluation of usersХ experiences in three intelligent lighting pilots in Finland. Two of the case studies are related to the use of intelligent lighting in different kinds of traffic areas, having emphasis on aspects of visibility, traffic and movement safety, and sense of security. The last case study presents a more complex view to the experience of intelligent lighting in smart city contexts. The evaluation methods, tailored to each pilot context, include questionnaires, an urban dashboard, in-situ interviews and observations, evaluation probes, and system data analyses. The applicability of the selected and tested methods is discussed reflecting the process and achieved results.
