Building Trust
The practice of design depends on what people are willing to share with us. The joy of creation is nurtured when practical ethical exercises are used during the different phases of the design process. Research in design is an expression of collaboration between individuals, where building a relationship of trust is paramount. The nucleus of this relationship can be divided into three broad concepts that can serve as vehicles for empathy: admiration, commitment, and integrity. We invite you to explore the power of consciousness through actions or activities that provides an empathic approximation to complex human realities. This set of cards contains questions, activities, and advice that we hope will work as a guide to help you design an approach to working with social groups that you can be proud of.
Ordered mesoporous silica COK-12: mesoscale tailoring, upscaling, continuous synthesis and application in the oxidative coupling of methane
Ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) materials are a family of silica nanomaterials with pores ranging in size from 2 to 50 nm which are arranged periodically within the silica matrix. They have expanding applications in various fields of research, such as drug delivery, adsorption, separation and catalysis. COK-12 is an OMS produced by the soft-templating method, using the block copolymer P123 as a structure-directing agent. The synthesis takes place at room temperature under mild reaction conditions. In comparison with the most widely known OMS, the synthesis of COK-12 is more time efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, yielding a material analogous to the well-known SBA-15. This ...
Index to Proceedings of the Security Council
The Index to Proceedings of the Security Council is a bibliographic guide to the proceedings and documentation of the Security Council. This issue covers the seventieth year of the Council including its commissions, committees and ad hoc committees. The Index is divided in two parts comprising the Subject Index and Index to Speeches. The Index is prepared by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, Department of Public Information, as one of the products of the United Nations Bibliographic Information System (UNBIS).
Representing the Barrios
Against a backdrop of rapid urbanization and the growth of a global economy powered by carbon, Rebecca Jarman argues that in Venezuela, urban poverty has become one of the most important resources in national culture and statecraft. Attracting the attentions of writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians from within and beyond the limits of Caracas, the barrios are fetishized in the cultural domain as sites of rampant sex, crime, revolution, disease, and violence. The appeal of the urban poor in entertainment is replicated in the policies of autocratic leaders who, operating within an extractivist matrix that prizes the acquisition of land and capital, have sought to expand their reach into ...
Latin American Melodrama
Like their Hollywood counterparts, Latin American film and TV melodramas have always been popular and highly profitable. The first of its kind, this anthology engages in a serious study of the aesthetics and cultural implications of Latin American melodramas. Written by some of the major figures in Latin American film scholarship, the studies range across seventy years of movies and television within a transnational context, focusing specifically on the period known as the "Golden Age" of melodrama, the impact of classic melodrama on later forms, and more contemporary forms of melodrama. An introductory essay examines current critical and theoretical debates on melodrama and places the essays within the context of Latin American film and media scholarship. Contributors are Luisela Alvaray, Mariana Baltar, Catherine L. Benamou, Marvin D’Lugo, Paula Félix-Didier, Andrés Levinson, Gilberto Perez, Darlene J. Sadlier, Cid Vasconcelos, and Ismail Xavier.
Development of in situ methods for process monitoring and control and characterization of Cu-Zn-Sn-S based thin films
In recent years, kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has become an interesting alternative to copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) due to its non-toxic and earth abundant constituents. A variety of methods is being used to fabricate kesterite thin films, such as coevaporation, sputtering, electrodeposition, spray pyrolysis and others. Most of them include an annealing step to stimulate elemental mixing and interdiffusion. Although conversion efficiencies of kesterite solar cells have increased among different research groups, the record value of 12.6% set by IBM in 2014 has not been broken yet. Therefore, experimental and theoretical studies are needed to predict the effect of the secondary phas...
Photoinduced thiol-ene click chemistry assisted additive manufacturing and freeze casting of polymer-derived ceramics
Polymer-derived ceramics possess great advantages in the view of cellular ceramic processing compared to traditional powder-based technologies, as the polymeric nature of ceramic precursors allows the utilization of various shaping approaches. Amongst them, Additive Manufacturing and Freeze Casting are two novel shaping methods, which are capable of producing three-dimensional complex architectures and foams with well-controlled pore morphology, respectively. In this thesis, photoinduced thiol-ene polymerization of vinyl containing preceramic polymers with thiol monomers is systematically investigated, both from the energetic view and from the kinetic view. Subsequently, a novel stereolithog...
