Goede en tijdige residentiële zorg blijkt regelmatig moeilijk te organiseren. Het project Zorglogistiek beoogt in de regio Haaglanden de logistiek rond plaatsing van jeugdigen in residentiële jeugdhulp te ondersteunen. De gemeente Den Haag heeft het lectoraat Jeugdhulp in transformatie gevraagd om onderzoek te doen naar de opbrengsten van Zorglogistiek. Haar hoofdvraag is: Levert Zorglogistiek op wat we ervan verwachten? Meer concreet is dat vertaald in de volgende onderzoeksvragen: 1. Hoe ziet de in-, uit- en doorstroom in de residentiële zorg eruit en in hoeverre wordt Zorglogistiek ingezet? 2. In hoeverre leidt Zorglogistiek tot betere regie en wat betekent Zorglogistiek voor de tevredenheid van stakeholders over het hele proces?

Over the past few years the tone of the debate around climate change has shifted from sceptical to soberingly urgent as the global community has prioritised the research into solutions which will mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. So far this research has been insufficient. One of the major problems for driving public and private stakeholders to implement existing solutions and research new ones is how we communicate about climate change (Stoknes, 2014). There seems to be a lack of common language that drives the scientific community away from policymakers and the public. Due to this lack, it is hard to translate findings into viable and sustainable solutions and to adopt new climate-neutral economies and habits.

From the article: The ‘Axiomatic Design Methodology’ uses ‘Axioms’ that cannot be proven nor derived from physical phenomena. The axioms serve as guidelines for the design process of products and systems. The latest contribution was the addition of the ‘Complexity Axiom’ in 1999. However, the underlying theory of complexity did not get much traction by designers and their managers yet. It emphasises difficulties in the design, not primarily focussing on solutions. The ‘Theory of Complexity’ is converted to a ‘Theory of Maturity’ in this paper. It is supported with a graphical way to plot maturity as it develops. It visualises the results in a way that can be understood by all entities in a company, engineers, managers, and executives. Understanding the maturity of a system enables selection of the right measures to control it. Visualisation enables communication between the interacting parties. If successful development trajectories are understood, eventually from earlier experience, even better corrective actions can be applied. The method appears an affirmative way to graphically represent progression in design, thus presenting advances in a positive context. Though positively presented, it is not the case that the method hides problems; presumed and legitimate project progression can be quite different, which challenges the designer to understand the process. In this way, the method sends out a continuous warning to stay critical on design choices made.
"Speak the Future" presents a novel test case at the intersection of scientific innovation and public engagement. Leveraging the power of real-time AI image generation, the project empowers festival participants to verbally describe their visions for a sustainable and regenerative future. These descriptions are instantly transformed into captivating imagery using SDXL Turbo, fostering collective engagement and tangible visualisation of abstract sustainability concepts. This unique interplay of speech recognition, AI, and projection technology breaks new ground in public engagement methods. The project offers valuable insights into public perceptions and aspirations for sustainability, as well as understanding the effectiveness of AI-powered visualisation and regenerative applications of AI. Ultimately, this will serve as a springboard for PhD research that will aim to understand How AI can serve as a vehicle for crafting regenerative futures? By employing real-time AI image generation, the project directly tests its effectiveness in fostering public engagement with sustainable futures. Analysing participant interaction and feedback sheds light on how AI-powered visualisation tools can enhance comprehension and engagement. Furthermore, the project fosters public understanding and appreciation of research. The interactive and accessible nature of "Speak the Future" demystifies the research process, showcasing its relevance and impact on everyday life. Moreover, by directly involving the public in co-creating visual representations of their aspirations, the project builds an emotional connection and sense of ownership, potentially leading to continued engagement and action beyond the festival setting. "Speak the Future" promises to be a groundbreaking initiative, bridging the gap between scientific innovation and public engagement in sustainability discourse. By harnessing the power of AI for collective visualisation, the project not only gathers valuable data for researchers but also empowers the public to envision and work towards a brighter, more sustainable future.
