The document discusses redesigning the wayfinding system at Northeastern University. It begins by outlining the research process, which included discipline-based knowledge gathering, human-centered research, and synthesis. Key insights from the research included the importance of boundaries, orientation, consistency, and pathmaking for users. The solution proposes dividing the campus into color-coded zones for navigation. It also redesigns the campus map with a grid layout, color-coded zones, and landmark buildings labeled for reference. The new map orients the campus with major paths running horizontally and vertically and expands to show surrounding Boston landmarks for additional context.
GdAM is a design methodology focused on wayfinding at Northeastern University. It takes a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, considering both physical and digital elements.

Northeastern University is in the process of updating its campus signage to reflect its new branding identity. This involves replacing existing signs made from materials like wood, Komatex, and MDO board with more durable options like Dibond aluminum composite material. The sign shop documents existing signs and works with facilities directors and external contractors to develop proposals and prototypes. Samples are reviewed before the project is outsourced for installation. University leadership, including the president, are involved in approving the new sign designs. While improvements have been made, wayfinding at Northeastern is still a work in progress as the transition to the new identity continues.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

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.
