The project X-TEAM D2D (extended ATM for door-to-door travel) has been funded by SESAR JU in the framework of the research activities devoted to the investigation of integration of Air Traffic Management (ATM) and aviation into a wider transport system able to support the implementation of the door-to-door (D2D) travel concept. The project defines a concept for the seamless integration of ATM and Air Transport into an intermodal network, including other available transportation means, such as surface and waterways, to contribute to the 4 h door-to-door connectivity targeted by the European Commission in the ACARE SRIA FlightPath 2050 goals. In particular, the project focused on the design of a concept of operations for urban and extended urban (up to regional) integrated mobility, taking into account the evolution of transportation and passengers service scenarios for the next decades, according to baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final target (2050) time horizons. The designed ConOps encompassed both the transportation platforms integration concepts and the innovative seamless Mobility as a Service, integrating emerging technologies, such as Urban Air Mobility (e.g., electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles) and new mobility forms (e.g., micromobility vehicles) into the intermodal traffic network, including Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM). The developed concept has been evaluated against existing KPAs and KPIs, implementing both qualitative and quantitative performance assessment approaches, while also considering specific performance metrics related to transport integration efficiency from the passenger point of view, being the proposed solution designed to be centered around the passenger needs. The aim of this paper is to provide a description of the activities carried out in the project and to present at high level the related outcomes.
In safety science and practice, there have been various safety models, each of them reflecting a particular approach to safety management and accident causality. The large variety of models suggested in literature and applied in practice serve the communication of diverse perspectives towards safety and the need to consider contextual factors, but it does not allow the establishment of a common language within and across organisations and industry sectors. Considering the potential benefits of talking a lingua franca when it comes to safety and inspired by the Standard Model used in particle physics and recent suggestions from relevant studies, we thought of exploring the possibility to introduce a Standard Safety Model (STASAM). As a first step, we focused on four representative safety and accident models widely used, discussed and debated: the Swiss Cheese Model, AcciMap, Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) and Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP). We reviewed literature which compares the particular models, and we listed the strengths and weaknesses of each as a means to set the grounds for the STASAM. The combinations of these models with a focus to host their advantages and avoiding their disadvantages led to a three-level STASAM. The concept STASAM was used in two random incident investigation reports to assess its applicability and visualisation against the original models. The results of the application along with the STASAM concept were reviewed by three safety professionals and three safety researchers. The comments received were in the positive direction and indicated the potential of establishing an inclusive and commonly accepted safety/accident model. The next research phase will be the additional review of the STASAM and its pilot application to a variety of safety events and systems as a means to test its reliability and strengthen its validity.
This paper presents a mixed methods study in which 21 first-year student teachers took part that investigated learning outcomes of a modified learning by design task. The study is part of a series of studies that aims to improve student learning, teaching skills and teacher training. Design-based science challenges are reasonably successful project-based approaches for breaking down the boundaries between traditional school subjects. Previous learning outcomes of the extensively studied Learning by Design (LBD) approach demonstrated a strong positive effect on students’ skills. However, compared to traditional classroom settings, LBD provided little or no profit on (scientific) concept learning. For this, according to two preliminary studies, a lack of explicit teaching and scaffolding strategies, both strongly teacher-dependent, bears a share of responsibility. The results of this third study indicate that more emphasis on these strategies indeed strengthens concept learning without reducing positive effects on skill performance.
In 2016 is 'De Bouwagenda' gelanceerd, met het doel te komen tot een ambitieus vernieuwingsprogramma voor de grote maatschappelijke uitdagingen voor de gebouwde omgeving richting 2050. Daartoe horen de energietransitie, het gebruik van grondstoffen, klimaatverandering, mobiliteit, digitalisering en gezondheid. De opgaven zijn vertaald naar elf roadmaps en vijf doorsnijdende thema’s.Doel Doel van dit programma is het haalbaar, opschaalbaar en betaalbaar maken van de energietransitie in de bestaande gebouwde omgeving. Benodigde innovaties zullen in samenwerking tussen bedrijfsleven, kennisinstellingen, overheid en gebruikers worden gedaan. Daarbij wordt in een aantal stappen toegewerkt naar renovatieconcepten voor veel voorkomende woningtypologieën en gebouwen, waarmee renovaties sneller, goedkoper, mooier en met minder overlast voor bewoners en gebruikers mogelijk worden. Resultaten Het programma zal leiden tot betaalbare, opschaalbare en geaccepteerde oplossingen die nodig zijn voor de volledige renovatieopgaven. Eind 2020 verscheen het rapport Circulaire energietransitie in de gebouwde omgeving in samenwerking met Enpuls. Looptijd 01 januari 2020 - 31 december 2024 Aanpak De opzet van dit BTIC-deelprogramma is in de ontwikkeling en in de voorbereiding afgestemd met een breed consortium van marktpartijen, kennisinstellingen, maatschappelijke organisaties, adviesorganen en verenigingen (onder andere VNG, Platform 31, DSV, ISSO) en overheden (BZK, EZK, TKI UE, RvB). Parallel hieraan vinden samen met TKI Urban Energy gesprekken plaats met de ministeries van EK en BZK inzake de financiering. Voor de financiering van het eerste deel wordt nu ingestoken op het derde Meerjarig Missiegedreven Innovatieprogramma (MMIP 3 &4) van de Rijksoverheid. Context Het ontbreken van een topsector voor de bouw heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat er in de afgelopen jaren geen brede, meerjarige, goed gestructureerde kennis- en innovatieprogramma’s zijn geweest. Om dit te doorbreken is in het voorjaar van 2018 een begin gemaakt met het Bouw en Techniek Innovatie - centrum (BTIC). Van de eerste drie onderwerpen – energietransitie, circulair bouwen en digitalisering – is de 'Versnelling Energierenovaties in de Gebouwde Omgeving' het eerste onderwerp dat concreet wordt. Lector Mieke Oostra vertegenwoordigt bij het schrijfteam het hbo namens het Lectorenplatform Urban Energy. Hiervoor is aan alle aangesloten hogescholen en aan de vier TU’s en TNO gevraagd om projectideeën aan te leveren. Op basis hiervan heeft het schrijfteam half december een conceptprogramma opgeleverd met de naam: Integrale Energietransitie Bestaande Bouw (Visscher e.a. 2018).

Society continues to place an exaggerated emphasis on women's skins, judging the value of lives lived within, by the colour and condition of these surfaces. This artistic research will explore how the skin of a painting might unpack this site of judgement, highlight its objectification, and offer women alternative visualizations of their own sense of embodiment. This speculative renovation of traditional concepts of portrayal will explore how painting, as an aesthetic body whose material skin is both its surface and its inner content (its representations) can help us imagine our portrayal in a different way, focusing, not on what we look like to others, but on how we sense, touch, and experience. How might we visualise skin from its ghostly inner side? This feminist enquiry will unfold alongside archival research on The Ten Largest (1906-07), a painting series by Swedish Modernist Hilma af Klint. Initial findings suggest the artist was mapping traditional clothing designs into a spectral, painterly idea of a body in time. Fundamental methods research, and access to newly available Af Klint archives, will expand upon these roots in maps and women’s craft practices and explore them as political acts, linked to Swedish Life Reform, and knowingly sidestepping a non-inclusive art history. Blending archival study with a contemporary practice informed by eco-feminism is an approach to artistic research that re-vivifies an historical paradigm that seems remote today, but which may offer a new understanding of the past that allows us to also re-think our present. This mutuality, and Af Klint’s rhizomatic approach to image-making, will therefore also inform the pedagogical development of a Methods Research programme, as part of this post-doc. This will extend across MA and PhD study, and be further enriched by pedagogy research at Cal-Arts, Los Angeles, and Konstfack, Stockholm.
