Under new state-led governance models, a new generation of city entrepreneurs seeks to define work and living environments to meet their needs and aspirations in a collaborative way. In this field, international discourses are debating private investors as key players in urban development and the simultaneous withdrawal/absence of the state. This has led to more complex networks of participating actors and conflictive urban development patterns. Strategies are needed to understand the influence of commons-based space production. From the research project DFG-KOPRO-Int, the Authors aim to define learnings from urban development and housing projects, involved actors, processes and material quality of the projects.

Dressing Materials

The currently observed development of medical science results from the constant search for innovative solutions to improve the health and quality of life of patients. Particular attention is focused on the design of a new generation of materials with a high degree of biocompatibility and tolerance towards the immune system. In addition, apart from biotolerance, it is important to ensure appropriate mechanical and technological properties of materials intended for intra-body applications. Knowledge of the above parameters becomes the basis for considerations related to the possibilities of choosing the appropriate polymer materials. The researchers' interest, as evidenced by the number of available publications, is attracted by nanobiocomposites based on chitosan and carbon nanotubes, which, due to their properties, enable integration with the tissues of the human body. Nanosystems can be used in many areas of medicine. They constitute an excellent base for use as dressing materials, as they exhibit antimicrobial properties. In addition, they can be carriers of drugs and biological macromolecules and can be used in gene therapy, tissue engineering, and construction of biosensors. For this reason, potential application areas of chitosan-carbon nanotube nanocomposites in medical sciences are presented in this publication, considering the characteristics of the system components.

The Impact

Cloud Gaming is a cutting-edge paradigm in the video game provision where the graphics rendering and logic are computed in the cloud. This allows a user’s thin client systems with much more limited capabilities to offer a comparable experience with traditional local and online gaming but using reduced hardware requirements. In contrast, this approach stresses the communication networks between the client and the cloud. In this context, it is necessary to know how to configure the network in order to provide service with the best quality. To that end, the present work defines a novel framework for Cloud Gaming performance evaluation. This system is implemented in a real testbed and evaluates the Cloud Gaming approach for different transport networks (Ethernet, WiFi, and LTE (Long Term Evolution)) and scenarios, automating the acquisition of the gaming metrics. From this, the impact on the overall gaming experience is analyzed identifying the main parameters involved in its performance. Hence, the future lines for Cloud Gaming QoE-based (Quality of Experience) optimization are established, this way being of configuration, a trendy paradigm in the new-generation networks, such as 4G and 5G (Fourth and Fifth Generation of Mobile Networks).

The City

Like in many other provinces, during the Habsburg period, the main point of orientation for Galicia was Vienna. This also applies to architecture and urban development. Galicia’s technical elite applied the theoretical and practical experience it gathered in Vienna to the towns and cities of this northeastern Crown land. Ignacy Drexler, born in 1878 in the Austro-Hungarian Lemberg, was a representative of a new generation of engineers and architects who did not necessarily have to spend time in the imperial capital to earn their spurs. Increasingly, besides the more or less obligatory stay in Vienna, other European countries became points of reference. Drexler did not live to see the realization of important aspects of his comprehensive plan for the city, but his ideas and the data he compiled were indispensable for the future development of his hometown. They shape urban planning in Lviv to this day.

Selection Of

Value engineering is a technique to provide the necessary functions of a component or product at the lowest cost while meeting the specifications of quality, performance, and reliability. Development in the housing construction sector must be carried out as efficiently as possible by considering various factors. One of the most affecting factors is the selection of concrete types. The research was conducted on one of the housing projects located in Bumi Serpong Damai to know the most important criteria and the best alternative in selecting concrete types for housing projects. The criteria used are price, time, quality, ease of implementation, availability of tools and materials, technology, and concrete bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the alternatives reviewed are conventional concrete, ready mix concrete, and precast concrete. Research data in the form of questionnaires with the Saaty scale is analyzed by value engineering method with the Expert Choice program's help. Based on the analysis results, the most important criteria in selecting concrete types for residential projects are the quality of concrete with an eigen vector value of 31.1% and the best alternative was precast concrete with an eigen vector value of 47.8%.ABSTRAK  Value engineering adalah suatu teknik untuk memberikan fungsi yang diperlukan dari suatu komponen atau produk dengan biaya terendah sekaligus memenuhi spesifikasi kualitas, kinerja, dan keandalan. Pembangunan dibidang konstruksi perumahan dituntut untuk dilaksanakan seefisien mungkin dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai faktor yang ada. Salah satu faktor yang paling mempengaruhi yaitu pemilihan jenis beton. Penelitian dilakukan pada salah satu proyek perumahan yang terletak di Bumi Serpong Damai dengan tujuan mengetahui kriteria terpenting dan alternatif terbaik dalam pemilihan jenis beton untuk proyek perumahan. Kriteria yang digunakan adalah harga, waktu, kualitas, kemudahan pelaksanaan, ketersediaan alat dan material, teknologi, dan daya dukung beton, sedangkan alternatif yang ditinjau adalah beton konvensional, beton ready mix, dan beton pracetak / precast. Data penelitian berupa kuisioner dengan skala Saaty dianalisis dengan metode value engineering dengan bantuan program Expert Choice. Berdasarkan hasil analisis didapati kriteria terpenting dalam pemilihan jenis beton untuk proyek perumahan adalah kualitas beton dengan nilai eigen vector sebesar 31,1% dan alternatif terbaik berupa beton pracetak / precast dengan nilai eigen vector sebesar 47,8%.
