Published: April 2017

В условиях современного рынка успех развития и роста компании во многом зависит от работы маркетолога, от правильно выбранной маркетинговой стратегии. Для решения основной проблемы повышения эффективности управления проектно-изыскательской организацией нужно прорабатывать каждую составляющую будущего проекта. Анализ маркетинговой среды и оценка рыночных возможностей организации осуществляются в ходе комплексных маркетинговых исследований рынка, цель которых состоит в сборе информации о рынке и ее изучении для совершенствования процесса разработки и сбыта товаров. Маркетинговые исследования рынка являются обязательным условием успеха товаров, предлагаемых на рынке. Они эффективны в том случае, когда рассматриваются не только как процесс получения труднодоступной коммерческой информации, но и как средство, обеспечивающее руководство организации аналитическими выводами об изменениях маркетинговой среды с целью улучшения возможностей системы управления. Маркетинговое исследование строительного рынка напрямую связано с управлением ресурсами проекта. Грамотно построенная стратегия маркетинга является обязательным условием успешного управления ресурсами строительства. В проектно-изыскательской организации, занимающейся строительством на просадочных грунтах, одним из самых важных и значимых разделов любого проекта нового строительства или реконструкции является проектирование фундаментов, усиление грунтов. В статье описана процедура формирования системы показателей для оценки и выбора тампонажных цементных составов при строительстве на просадочных грунтах с использованием метода экспертного опроса. Этот метод позволяет выявить мнение специалистов по исследуемой проблеме, проранжировать какие-либо признаки и определить степень важности. Для каждого показателя рассчитан коэффициент весомости. С помощью рассчитанного коэффициента весомости определим степень значимости конкретного показателя для оценки качества.

Authors: Matveyeva I V
Published: April 2017

В статье представлены результаты проведенного анализа инфраструктурной поддержки малого и среднего предпринимательства в России, который показал, что существуют определенные проблемы информационного взаимодействия между институтами поддержки и малыми и средними предприятиями. Автором предложено решение указанных проблем, которое основано на создании информационно-аналитического портала «Виртуальный бизнес-инкубатор». Основное назначение предлагаемого портала заключается в автоматизации информационно-аналитических процессов взаимодействия институтов поддержки и субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства. В рамках проектирования портала подразумевается разработка четырех информационно-аналитических блоков в разрезе каждого института инфраструктурной поддержки. Первый блок включает в себя основную информацию о соответствующем институте поддержки; во втором блоке представлены направления, оказываемые институтом поддержки в рамках инфраструктурной поддержки малого предпринимательства; третий блок предназначен для субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства и содержит в себе всю необходимую информацию о получаемой инфраструктурной поддержке со стороны института поддержки; в четвертом блоке представлены результаты деятельности института поддержки в рамках оказания инфраструктурной поддержки. Результатами создания информационно-аналитического портала «Виртуальный бизнес-инкубатор» будут: 1) создание единой информационной базы всех функционирующих институтов поддержки по всем регионам, что позволит следить за показателями развития инфраструктурной поддержки; 2) функционирование принципа «обратной связи» между институтами поддержки и субъектами малого и среднего предпринимательства благодаря автоматизации передачи отчетных данных и созданию «диалогового окна» обмена необходимой информацией.

Consumo de medicamentos e prática da automedicação por acadêmicos da área de saúde da Universidade Estadual de Londrina
Authors: Silva Lais Brevi da , Piveta Lenita Nunes , Girotto Edmarlon , Guidoni Camilo Molino
Published: April 2017

A procura de alívio rápido de sintomas induz à prática da automedicação, a qual, quando realizada de forma inadequada, pode mascarar graves doenças e provocar intoxicação e morte. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar a prevalência da prática da automedicação e o perfil de consumo de medicamentos entre acadêmicos dos cursos da área de saúde da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, cujos dados foram coletados de acadêmicos dos cursos de graduação em Enfermagem, Farmácia e Medicina, da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, por meio da aplicação de um questionário autorrespondível. Os dados foram digitados e analisados com o uso do Programa Excel para Windows. Os medicamentos identificados foram classificados segundo a Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification da Organização Mundial de Saúde. Dos 571 acadêmicos avaliados, a idade média foi de 21,1±3,2 anos, predomínio do sexo feminino (74,6%) e com acesso a plano de saúde (64,1%). 88,3% relataram a prática da automedicação, e 72,0% utilizaram medicamentos nos 15 dias anteriores à realização da pesquisa. A classe dos analgésicos e antipiréticos com ação no sistema nervoso (N02A) foi a mais relatada (92,9%), e o princípio ativo mais mencionado a dipirona/dipirona e associações (55,9%). A principal causa de automedicação foi o reconhecimento que o sintoma apresentado não era motivo para a procura médica, destacando-se a cefaleia como sintoma mais prevalente. Observa-se a necessidade de abordar nos cursos de graduação os riscos da prática de automedicação sem acompanhamento de um profissional de saúde objetivando a promoção do uso racional de medicamentos.

Objetivo: Analisar a percepção de discentes, docentes e usuários sobre humanização na sua dimensão ampla nas clínicas multidisciplinares do Departamento de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Metodologia: Estudo qualitativo cujos dados foram coletados usando-se três instrumentos: questionários autoaplicáveis (alunos e usuários), um caso simulado (professores), além da observação direta nas clínicas. As respostas geradas foram categorizadas, analisadas e interpretadas à luz do referencial teórico de Bardin. Resultados: Os resultados apontam categorias como ambiência e acessibilidade nas falas dos alunos e usuários como pontos que precisam ser melhorados. Entre docentes o acolhimento e os aspectos éticos foram as categorias emergentes, mostrando preocupação nesse aspecto no trato com o usuário. A observação direta revelou categorias importantes como efeitos psicossociais e reflexos da relação docente-discente que merecem destaque como pontos negativos. Conclusão: Há percepção positiva sobre pontos como acolhimento pelos três segmentos e muita clareza sobre os pontos negativos como ambiência e acessibilidade entre alunos e usuários. Relações conflituosas de docentes e discentes sugerem estudos que ajudem a entender essa convivência e seus efeitos negativos sobre a formação do aluno. As fortalezas do serviço em questão ficaram por conta da oferta de serviços odontológicos, à medida que a sociedade, a rede pública de Natal e demais cidades do Rio Grande do Norte o reconhecem como referência e apostam na sua qualidade. Os desafios consistem em promover maior integração entre o corpo docente das clínicas, visando a implantação/manutenção de um ambiente uníssono, harmônico, tranquilo e seguro de orientação acadêmica.
The slippery trail: The mollusc as a metaphor for creative practice
Authors: Karen Savage
Published: April 2017

This exposition documents several years of process-driven practice-as-research. The work explores themes of womanhood, embodiment, and autobiography.

Throughout the exposition I argue that the embodiment of process is key to understanding practice-as-research. I propose that practice-as-research projects don't always begin with a ‘final output’ in mind. Instead, the practice of practice-as-research should be reconsidered throughout its development; it should use its potential for liminality. It is the demonstration of a ‘living process’ – living in process. However, what becomes key within the practice is a clear articulation of process, and how the research is recorded as part of that process. In this work, 'writing about practice' and performative practices are integrated, enabling a dialogue between various creative responses as well as offering access points to the research in a variety of forms.

This exposition explores ways in which we live in process through a presentation of text, visual essays, and short film and video pieces.
The work develops from creative artefacts and critical text into a piece of responsive writing, 'A Play of Characters'. This playtext reconsiders some of the influences in the work and explores the imagery of the whole project in a performative context.

The notion of embodiment and a 'living body of work' is developed further through the use of metaphor, in particular the metaphor of the mollusc. I use this to consider how practice evolves alongside process, 'housing' both the work and the process in both material form (the shell) and trace (the snail trail).

Different combinations of this work have been presented as performance installations, both at the University of Portsmouth, as part of my PhD examination in 2010, and at the University of Lincoln, as part of the Gnarlfest in 2014. However, by the very nature of 'living in process' this is a work that continues to evolve and 'live' in different forms. The purpose of this exposition is to explore the work in an accessible online form – one that offers alternative platforms and sequences, creating different possibilities and readings of the practice.
Intersections of creative praxis and urban exploration
Authors: David Prescott-Steed
Published: April 2017

Since the 1960s, walking artists have documented the multifarious relationship between humans and their built environments. By turning walking into art, key figures such as Bruce Nauman, Richard Long, Marina Abramović, and Hamish Fulton paved the way for future practitioners, such as Janet Cardiff, Tim Brennan, Tim Knowles, and Rachel Clewlow, among others, who continue to use walking as an opportunity creatively to investigate notions of place, identity, time, consciousness, and heritage. Whether walking fosters new artistic inquiry or remains its product, what a vast majority of walking artists have in common is that they pursue a form of praxis on the surfaces of their habitats.

This practice-led research project contributes to creative walking praxis by pursuing notions of cultural identity through an engagement with sub-suburban infrastructure. By developing sound-based, visual, and textual interactions with subterranean space – specifically stormwater drains – this project seeks to investigate alternative ontologies of everyday life.
Mapping a Modern Diegesis: Terre des Hommes and Robert Altman's Quintet
Authors: Paul Landon
Published: April 2017

This project maps the locations in the old Expo 67 site in Montréal used in the film Quintet (Robert Altman, 1979). It reflects upon how the representation of the international, modern architecture and design of the Expo pavilions could shift from signifying promise and potential for social betterment to becoming indexes of technological catastrophe and social decay. It also looks at how the architecture of Expo 67, both as a site of technological spectacle and as an impromptu film set, has disappeared.
The interface for the project reflects the process of looking for something that has been forgotten. Like the characters of the film Quintet, lost in a nuclear winter landscape, the reader wanders through expanses of white space to find remnants of the expo site and of the film's set, to find artefacts and fragments of meaning.
Upper Styrian Big Band Folk: Exploring Local Identity and Authenticity in Jazz
Authors: Michael Kahr
Published: April 2017

Upper Styrian Big Band Folk is an arts-based research project which has aimed for the exploration of local identity, authenticity and meaning as manifested in and interrelated with jazz composition and performance. This exposition outlines the project, its underlying aesthetic values and presents a critical reflection of the work. Two videos show the musical scores and audio recordings of two selected compositions for large jazz orchestra which represent a significant aspect of artistic research in this project. A hermeneutic reading of the music offers insight into the work's contextual background and aesthetic matters.
Colonial hospitality: rethinking curatorial and artistic responsibility
Authors: Danny Butt  , Local Time
Published: April 2017

The recent enthusiasm for gestures of hospitality in contemporary art promises relief from the individualising forces of neoliberal capitalism and the professionalised hierarchies of the art world. Yet, Jacques Derrida describes the gesture of hospitality as paradoxically asserting a kind of sovereignty that underwrites the 'right to host', returning hospitality to the conditionality of the authorising institution. In settler-colonial territories, these institutionally underwritten gestures always sit uneasily atop indigenous sovereignties that have not been ceded, requiring the positive gestures of hospitality to remain open to their structuring fissures. This paper considers figurations of hospitality and responsibility in works by Derrida, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Raqs Media Collective in reading the art collective Local Time’s research-driven practice that seeks to reconcile indigenous self-determination and settler gestures of hospitality.
Delirious Brahms
Authors: Eivind Buene
Published: April 2017

The institutions of classical music could be regarded as sites of performance and production, and the apparatus and situation of performance as material for the composer. My work 'Johannes Brahms Klarinettentrio' revolves around the idea of composing with the situation of the chamber music performance. The composition is an intervention by way of the paranoid-critical method adapted from Dali by architect Rem Koolhaas: A chamber music ensemble is sitting on stage, performing what seems to be Johannes Brahms's Clarinet Trio (1891). But gradually both the music and the interplay between musicians change, thereby altering the expectations of the audience during the course of listening. As the piece unfolds, the acoustic instruments are overtaken by electronic equipment and sounds. The work is an attempt to challenge the tranquilising flow of chamber music, to open the situation to the possibility of the unexpected.
The Rembrant Search Party
Authors: Jean-Marie Clarke
Published: April 2017

The object of my research involves an elementary particle of meaning: a letter of the alphabet. The claim that a single letter can make to meaning is clear in the case of an initial—which is usually a single, capital letter—and even more so when this initial appears in the context of a signature. Specifically, my research deals with the initial letter "R" used by the 17th-century Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669) in his signatures.

The meanings that an initial letter can mediate are not limited to identification and references to a full name. Letters of the alphabet, while being basic verbal units, have visual, not to say pictorial features. All by itself, a letter is not yet a word or phoneme. It exhibits the formal characteristics of a sign, grapheme, symbol. Many of the major writing systems in the world—phonetic or not—were derived from pictograms, from representational pictorial symbols. We all learned to write by drawing letters before combining them into words.

The pictorial history of letters and writing (then printing) has been ignored by mainstream art history, which has devoted its attention to works of "high art," like painting. At what scale does an intentionally-made visual form become pictorially significant? The pictorial component is obvious in calligraphy and typography, even if only to a specialized audience. But there is a blindness relative to letter forms, such that, for example, few readers are aware of the shapes of the type or handwriting they are reading. This blindness is all the more surprising considering the fact that even phonetic writing was a visual achievement: the rendering of speech visible.

Given this, the traditional opposition between the verbal and the visual, between word and image, needs to be reconsidered in terms of vision coupled with blindness. Vision, because eyes read texts and see pictures. Blindness, because in both cases the medium—print or paint—is overlooked. I postulate this seeing/not-seeing paradox as a principle of vision-based works that could be summarized by the word overlooking. This ambiguous term can mean both "not seeing things" and "seeing things." Often, we end up either not noticing certain things or "seeing things" by virtue of looking too much: this is a basic risk in research of any kind. In reference to Edgar Allan Poe's famous detective tale, The Purloined Letter (1844), which provides a paradigmatic case of overlooking, I like to call it the "Purloined Principle."

Given the pictorial significance of a letter of the alphabet, a study of Rembrandt's signature—the graphic sign of his identity—will reveal that it may be considered as a historical, existential and esthetic document in its own right.
Towards a Non-Identity Art
Authors: Rory Harron
Published: April 2017

This exposition addresses the motivation behind the recent turn in contemporary art toward displaying non-art and the work of outsiders. It begins by providing an alternative interpretation of Marcel Duchamp's Fountain before tracing the historic roots of the vanguardist strategy of self-negation in art and its affinities with communal creativity.

Developed from my research on artist exits, I then affirm an expanded creativity. I posit that an egalitarian art could be realised within exhibitions in which anyone can exhibit. Such a polemical outlook seeks to problematise the ownership of the identities within the field of artistic production. Ultimately it seeks to further the egalitarian drive in contemporary culture and encourage a reconsideration of set identities.

However, these assumptions will in turn be problematised as the research is driven by Theodor Adorno’s non-identity thought. This involves a rejection of strong self–identification alongside a commitment to egalitarianism. Considering this, the worthwhile search for a non-identity art is forever elusive.
Shift Happens
Authors: Neil Mulholland
Published: April 2017

Shift/Work has arisen from a number of learning experiments conducted in Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Edinburgh College of Art. Our shared concern was with the failings of art education that focuses solely on nurturing personal ontology. This text explores the genesis of Shift/Work, the establishment of an iterative process that enables artists learn together, and the educational legacy of the project.
A Hinge: Field-testing the Relationship Between Photography and Architecture
Authors: Marc Goodwin
Published: April 2017

This article seeks to share the methods and preliminary results of an artistic research project in the field of architectural photography. A central concern is the representation of atmosphere in place of the standard depiction of objects. Important also is an attempt at co-design through an interview process with architects based on the notion of the dialectic. This aspect of the study is important not only for this experiment itself but is also crucial for analyzing the scalability of practices pursued in this investigation. Findings include excerpts from interviews and examples of photographs. More than just a project about photographic practices, however, this study is part of a larger investigation into the relationship that has developed between photography and architecture, focussing especially on Finland and Denmark, and the institutional practices of architects, publishers and photographers working in collaboration.

The 'sonozones' project investigates sound art practices in public places through personal and public acts of listening and sounding. The topic is explored using artistic processes developed on site in Mülheim in the Ruhr region of central Germany. Four sound art practitioners collaboratively explore ideas and concepts that question the significance and impact of listening and sounding in public places and suburban and urban spaces. The project collects traces and artefacts of the artistic processes as a basis for investigations into key elements of the individual and social dimensions of sound art. The exploration of forms sets the stage for experiments, interventions, and performative presences carried out on site by the artists. A continuous dialogue and the collection of verbal reflections frames these activities. In addition to texts, this exposition lays out a collection of audio recordings, photographs, and videos in order to document and convey sensory experiences as well as thoughts.
Art and Research Colliding
Authors: Mäki Teemu
Published: April 2017

This exposition concerns the relationship between art and research. It focuses on the questions: How can we define knowledge and research in the context of artistic research? What is artistic research? What is its goal? How is it different from other traditions of combining art and research? How should the university system react to and make use of artistic research? What is artistic knowledge and how is it used? How can we justify art as a special, flexible form of research? In what sense is art a philosophical and political practice – not just a way of communicating philosophical and political ideas and reasoning, but an especially powerful and holistic form of philosophy and politics?

The first half of the exposition analyses and develops a line of reasoning about these concepts and categories. It also includes an attempt to justify art as philosophy/politics. The second half of the exposition lists the five main traditions of combining art and research and the pros and cons of each of them.

The latter half of the exposition, in particular, uses images, videos, and music as examples of these traditions, and in some way as proof of the philosophical/political claim of the exposition. The whole exposition is built concretely from the viewpoint of a practicing artist, looking for insights and ways that could help him and other artists in their artistic work.
Ghost Nature
Authors: Caroline Picard
Published: April 2017

The predominant cultural tradition prioritises humankind and human culture above all other life forms – a linear, anthropocentric narrative wherein the human appears as the latest, most developed draft of life in a grand opera of consciousness; the opera begins with the origin of a universe that has since continued until now, forward from the darkest beginning of A to an elusive horizon of B: that spot in the distance that shall never be reached. The following exposition reflects notes, quotations, and autobiographical incidents that muddle this mythology. This assemblage of sources composes a constellation without beginning, centre, or end in an effort to enact a more general and omniscient intellectual environment that highlights the longstanding hierarchical expectations inherent in the Western world.
A taste of big data on the global dinner table
Authors: Markéta Dolejšová
Published: April 2017

This exposition discusses artistic appropriations of issues related to the contemporary global food agenda and the possible impact of these interventions on the public’s food-related mindset. It begins with an overview of some of the most pressing concerns about the current state of global food production and continues by discussing how these concerns are affected by social networking technologies and online collaborations. Social initiatives and food activists, as well as artists and designers, have become interested in communal bottom-up efforts to refine the global flow of food commodities. The second chapter of this exposition discusses recent examples of contemporary food art/design works. Beside a theoretical overview, the author presents her own food art/design project ‘HotKarot & OpenSauce’ and offers an insight into the field from the perspective of a researcher-as-practitioner. The exposition aims to raise important questions about the potential of participatory art/design initiatives and critically address current global food issues, hence supporting consumers’ general awareness of what ends up on their plates, how it gets there, and under what circumstances.
A consideration of projects from the FUNDBÜRO art research initiative
Authors: Cynthia Kros  , Georges Pfruender
Published: April 2017

FUNDBÜRO: a collective art research laboratory conducted between members of the postgraduate research institute Datdata associated with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Lyon and Wits School of Arts in Johannesburg that explores notions of the meaning of loss and recovery for objects and subjects in transit.
The exposition describes the progress of three selected projects within FUNDBÜRO, discussing the working methods and the interim outcomes. They are:
1. Field Notes: Cynthia Kros presents a selection of her field notes and contextualises the taking of field notes within theorising of the arts. The format allows playful interaction with thought processes in FUNDBÜRO as a theorising space.
2. 'Chop Shop': this project creatively engages with disassemblage/reassemblage in both regulated and unregulated ways. It replays the vernacular practice of chop shopping in the field of art.
3. 'I had a dream': this project builds on the principles of 'chop shopping' and explores the possibilities of extraction, retelling, and reperforming. As a further sequence of chop shop actions, we interrogate how dreams can become source material for a collective art/theory project.

Our collaborative work allows us to create/produce at and with distance. As we examine our projects in the making and the ways in which they interact with each other, we gain an understanding of generative processes which are at the heart of modern 'urban life'.
Transcribing Johann Sebastian Bach's Lute Music for Guitar Bouzouki
Authors: Andreas Aase
Published: April 2017

Johann Sebastian Bach's lute suites were probably written on the harpsichord, and are commonly performed on the guitar. This project examines the possibilities and limitations in transcribing one suite for a four-course, fifth-tuned instrument in the cittern/octave mandolin family, while preserving supposed interpretation practices from Bach's era and/or from Scandinavian traditional music. The final artistic result may or may not express these traits. The audiovisual examples aim to express problems of interpretation, and suggestions for their solutions in the cases where they are specific to my instrument. I will attempt to contextualise the process through introducing various strands of research and the observations of others.

The discussion commences at a point where I have produced a suggestion for a transcription, as I embark from the premises laid out in the previous paragraph and ask, Is it possible to create an edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Lute Suite BWV 997 for my instrument? Deriving from this question, I simultaneously ask, Which methods and contexts can I employ to make the artistic outcome convincing for myself, as well as for an audience familiar with this music?

Based on many research studies conducted it can be concluded that there are more than 250 theories of sex-determination. This means that there is not any single theory on sex-determination. This study aims at uncovering effects of the temperature of the tropical environment on sex-determination in Drosophila. The method undertaken was to collect and count the ratio of males to females, Drosophila directly caught in natural environment. The catching was conducted in three periods, ie.: April 2001, April 2002, and April 2004.The results were as follows: (1) The number of females caught at each periode was much more than males. The ratio of males to females was 1:2 (2) The ratios of males to females at three successive periodes were significantly different at p less than and equal 5. The ratios vary due to the influence of several factor, outside the temperature of the environment, on the ratios of males to females in Drosophila.

The purpose of this paper is to design a 10 million litre capacity petroleum storage tank for use in the oil industry in Nigeria with a view to overcoming the challenges associated with the loss of product due to evaporation. The tank having diameter and height of 27.4m and 17.5m respectively was designed to have two relief valves; a primary valve which would ensure that the product vapour pressure within high-level (h2) in meters of the storage tank does not exceed the minimum acceptable pressure. The second relief valve is designed to relief due to a sudden increase in pressure as a result of a possible fire in the tank. To this end, the design made reference to the American Petroleum Institute Manual 650 (12th Edition) as a guide. Some fundamental considerations include tank shape, height, diameter and materials used. A corrosion allowance of 3mm was also considered.
