Sociology and de-growth; social change, entropy and evolution in a way-down eraGoteo / Platoniq
The document discusses the concept of a steady-state economy and debates whether sustainable development or degrowth is a better approach to achieving it. It notes that while both could lead to a steady-state under carrying capacity, degrowth may be inevitable given environmental limits. The discussion explores human evolution under conditions of scarcity, historical evidence of societal collapses, and different philosophical perspectives. Governance challenges of sustainability in a complex system are also covered.

1. This document discusses balancing aspects of sustainability and making a positive impact on our common future. It emphasizes nurturing human dignity and social participation, expanding spheres of responsibility, applying systems thinking, and defining how much is enough.
2. Applying systems thinking is important as our planet is an interdependent system, not isolated phenomena. The author notes that their behavior affects others locally and globally.
3. Transparency in global supply chains is discussed as everyday choices can have effects far away. Forced labor and poor working conditions may be linked to commonly used products, so sustainability must consider both environmental and social impacts.
The document discusses limits to growth and sustainability. It summarizes views that once collapse was unthinkable but is now entering public discourse. It also shows that ecosystem services are declining and the world ecological footprint exceeds what is sustainable. The rest of the document discusses debates around sustainable development versus degrowth approaches, and human evolution, historical evidence, and the prospects for an orderly versus chaotic decline in societies that have exceeded ecological limits.

Scrum Workshop - Agile Presentation March 18, 2012MrAlexRosales
Agile is a mindset for effectively completing projects using an iterative and incremental approach. It is becoming more commonly used as traditional project management approaches are often too heavy and bureaucratic, making it difficult for organizations to remain competitive. Agile methods like Scrum, XP, and Crystal break large projects into smaller iterative cycles, accommodate frequent changes, improve return on investment, and involve customers for higher quality outputs. While only taking a few hours to learn the basics, Agile is a lifetime framework to master, with an emphasis on adaptive planning, empirical learning, and frequent inspection and adaptation of processes.
This document discusses the importance of composition in photography. It provides several quotes emphasizing that composition requires thought and practice, not just pressing a button. The document then lists "10 Rules" and "10 Elements of Composition in Photography" from other sources, focusing on techniques like rule of thirds, leading lines, framing, and depth of field. It concludes that composition should be a top priority and encourages experimenting with different compositional techniques.

The document discusses JCPenney's use of HP Quality Center 10.0 to manage their application testing processes. It describes JCPenney's Application Testing Center which was established as a center of excellence for application testing. The center used Quality Center to help standardize and improve testing across the organization by providing templates, training and enforcing processes. It outlines the issues they faced around siloed testing groups and inconsistent processes. It then discusses how they worked with HP Professional Services to implement Quality Center, including planning training, designing templates based on their methodologies, and developing the templates and workflows.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document compares systematic ("Spock-like") testing and exploratory ("Anakin Skywalker-like") testing. Systematic testing is orderly, planned, and methodical, using techniques like boundary value analysis. Exploratory testing is less prepared and more autonomous, relying on deductive reasoning. The document also discusses how an agile approach favors exploratory testing for its speed but can lack documentation, while systematic testing provides more artifacts but is less fast-moving. It introduces the HP Sprinter tool for aiding exploratory testing with automatic documentation and repeatability.

1) The document discusses sources of non-exhaust particulate matter emissions from road traffic, including road wear, resuspension of road dust, brake wear, and tire wear.
2) Field campaigns in Switzerland measured emission factors for these sources using different methods, finding that abrasion and resuspended dust accounted for about 50% of traffic-related PM10.
3) Road wear was minor for intact pavements but damaged ones saw higher emissions, while resuspension depended more on available road dust than traffic volume. Tire wear appeared to be a minor source.

The document discusses introducing HP Quality Center 10.0 Premier at JC Penney to improve testing processes. It describes JC Penney's business problem of inconsistent testing across projects. It outlines the implementation plan, including creating a template to standardize processes and reports. The template enables sharing artifacts and customizing projects while maintaining uniformity.
FITA is an organization that aims to install landmarks called FITAs around the world to guide people and connect them with others who share their interests. The document discusses plans for the first FITA location called FITA WIT, which will be a space in Sant Cugat, Spain to support talent and creativity. FITA WIT will provide mentoring, funding, and resources to help turn ideas into real projects that can benefit communities. It will also connect people through an "Agora of Knowledge" and "Concept Market" to share knowledge and collaborate. The goal is for FITA WIT to help ideas and create startups that can then fund organizations working for the common good.
The document provides an overview of the limajuliette organization, which aims to address issues like hunger, healthcare access, climate change, and children's education through sustainable infrastructure projects. The organization consists of professionals from fields like engineering, project management, and education. It plans to coordinate efforts with other like-minded groups and implement projects that promote renewable energy, regional stability, and self-sufficiency to create lasting positive change.
This document discusses how knowledge and lessons from the controversial mining sector can be transferred to international investments in agriculture to help address issues of social acceptability in sustainable development. Specifically, it explores how the mining sector has developed tools and initiatives around social acceptability, such as principles of transparency and models of self-regulated environmental governance, that could inform the debate regarding large-scale international land acquisitions, or "land grabbing", which also face challenges in achieving social acceptability. The document reviews concepts and processes related to cross-sectoral knowledge transfer and argues that experience-based knowledge transfers from mining to agriculture may help enrich discussions on balancing economic, environmental and human rights concerns.
New media literacy involves understanding media as a cultural and social innovation framework that exists across technological platforms. It is part of a media lifecycle where creative frameworks and aesthetics develop into emerging media technologies that are then standardized and integrated into mass media. New media actors such as artists, researchers, and the public co-exist with institutional actors in shaping new media society. Highly sensitive people and those with cognitive differences process sensory information differently and may be overwhelmed by environments that are loud, bright, or chaotic. Developing self-awareness, self-regulation, and literacy around emotions, senses, and environments can help highly sensitive individuals better understand themselves. Digital media can provide a sensory buffer and simplified social learning environment to help reverse sensorial
Smart Growth and Health Care City – to live a healthier life trough preventive care
The 7th World Technopolis Association International Conference,
Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu City, Taiwan R.O.C
1) The document discusses the need for a new way of perceiving, being, and doing in the world as the old ways no longer work due to current crises.
2) It proposes moving from an industrial-market era focused on GDP to a socio-ecological era with new metrics like the ISEW that consider social and environmental welfare over time.
3) Social innovation is presented as a process where new ideas come from those directly involved in problems to find solutions through collaboration rather than top-down approaches. This distributes complexity and innovation rather than centralizing it.

An overview of the regulatory and competitive landscape of social enterprise in Europe, with a lot of across-country diversity. Attention is paid to incorporation choice, finance, networks, and linkages with local economic development.
The document discusses social innovation as a better framework than social entrepreneurship and social enterprise for understanding and creating lasting social change. It defines social innovation as "a novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or just than existing solutions and for which the value created accrues primarily to society as a whole rather than private individuals." The authors argue that focusing on social innovations, rather than individuals or organizations, provides greater insight into how positive social change can be achieved. They use microfinance as an example of a social innovation that has helped many escape poverty.
1) The document provides a summary of a class on sustainable design and the role of NGOs and activists in bringing about positive environmental change.
2) It discusses the history of the US environmental movement from Thoreau to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring to the establishment of the EPA.
3) It also covers concepts like deep ecology, inverted quarantine, leverage points, and how consumption and political action became separated in industrial societies.
4) The class discusses ways NGOs have used campaigns to change business practices and encourages students to research the environmental impacts of specific products.

IRJET- Eco-Tourism: A Spring of Livelihood to the Kenyan Marginalized Com...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on how eco-tourism provides a source of livelihood for marginalized communities in Kenya. It defines key terms like eco-tourism, marginalization, and the principles of eco-tourism. It then discusses how marginalized communities in Kenya, like the Maasai, have turned to eco-tourism projects that allow them to earn a living while preserving the environment through activities like tree planting. Eco-tourism also helps marginalized communities maintain their local culture. However, land issues present legal challenges for marginalized communities pursuing eco-tourism. The document examines Kenya's legal framework regarding the rights of marginalized groups and environmental protection.

This document discusses how semiotics can help understand sustainability in different markets. It analyzes six emerging themes around sustainability in BRIC countries: 1) Collaborative action is important in Brazil, India, Russia and China; 2) Preserving nature and traditions is seen in China and India; 3) Corporate initiatives coexist with community efforts; 4) Consumer self-management of sustainability occurs along with top-down government projects; 5) Creative experimentation combines art, science and reuse in Brazil and India; 6) Eco-friendly products are gaining value where recycling was once associated with poverty. Semiotics decodes brand communications and cultural meanings around sustainability to understand changing consumer behaviors.
New Standards For Long Term Business Survivalmorrinnoel
New Standards for Long-Term Business Survival is a free, 30-page, easy-to-read, introductory booklet that explains what sustainability is, why it is important, and how sustainable practices are being successfully implemented in businesses around the world. Included in its pages is a brief history of modern-day business sustainability as well as an overview of the subject areas, almost limitless innovations, and financial benefits that sustainable-thinking encompasses.
The booklet concludes with a 10-page checklist designed to help businesses pinpoint their weaknesses in regards to long-term thinking and the constant onslaught of ever-increasing economic change.
In this class we explore social capital as the umbrella term we use to value a complex set of inner quadrant qualities such as creativity, innovation, social skills, connectivity, emotional intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, cultural awareness, etc., all of which have a critical part to play in re-designing any technology & therefore society as a whole. "Sustainable Development" has been criticized as a term for being inherently contradictory, but when all quadrants are taken into account, we can see that a major growth in the interior quadrants (personal development & culture) will probably be key in achieving any significant reduction in physical consumption or material growth, so 'sustainable development' is far from contradictory as a term. So how do we design for increasing and improving social capital?
The document discusses several emerging trends across different areas that may shape the future over the next decade:
1. New types of diasporas are forming based on shared identities from climate change, migration, and virtual networks rather than geography.
2. New commons are emerging as shared resources managed from the bottom-up to create social and economic value through open platforms and identities.
3. Interconnected food webs and the disappearance of pollinators could reshape landscapes and human health as climate change threatens the global food supply.
4. The oceans will be a focus of development, with new industries, materials, and interventions needed to address issues like collapsing fisheries and climate change impacts.
This document discusses the potential role of social enterprises in environmental sustainability. While social enterprises are often cited as having social and environmental value, their role in tackling sustainability challenges is underappreciated. The document examines evidence from research on social enterprises and finds little focus on environmental topics. It argues that social enterprises could play an important part in developing more sustainable communities and businesses, particularly around local food systems, housing, transportation, waste reduction, and community services. The conclusion states that social enterprises have a vital role to play in helping society transition to more sustainable production and consumption systems, but more research is needed to fully understand and support their potential contributions.
Problems don't solve themselves. The current challenges require a set of solutions akin to a MIRACLE. So together we create one. When we're done, we live in the Heliogenic Civilisation. Join.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

34. FGCSIC has produced a proposal to the private sector based on
projects with high scientific research content
A proposal based on transformative research fits better non
for profit organizations, which believe in the power of scientific
research as a means to transform society in the long run
It may also be appealing to large corporations who are willing to
diversify their R&D portfolio with “high risk/high reward” projects

solving societal challenges)
-- Thru the peer-review process
-- Easy to manage extra money: providing the flexibility and
discretionary time
-- Accompanying the researchers
