This article develops an analysis of how different generations in both rural and urban areas of East Madagascar remember a violent anticolonial rebellion that took place in 1947 and places these memories in the context of various state regimes' efforts to create competing narrations of the events. I show how rural and urban elders, rural and urban youth, and former soldiers remember the 1947 re...

The paper is concerned with the technological process of renovation of shafts used in industrial manufacturing for extruding of sheet material. In the classical renovation technologies, a chrome based coating is applied to the working surface of the shaft in galvanic baths. The process, however, is known to be exclusively harmful due to the waste cyanide products. In this work, we present an ad...

We have studied how energy efficiency is discussed by professionals during renovation of multifamily dwellings, in order to capture how barriers in relation to energy measures are appearing, disappearing and transformed during the process. We did participatory observations of renovation meetings, conducted interviews with the involved professionals and studied-related documents. Our intentions ...

We extend Borovkov’s renovation theory to obtain criteria for coupling-convergence of stochastic processes that do not necessarily obey stochastic recursions. The results are applied to an “infinite bin model”, a particular system that is an abstraction of a stochastic ordered graph, i.e., a graph on the integers that has (i, j), i < j, as an edge, with probability p, independently from edge to...

When a compiler is designed carefully, it is possible to extract its grammar. We reengineer the extracted grammar to one that is geared towards reengineering. From this reengineering grammar we generate an architecture called a software renovation factory. This includes: generic analysis and transformation functionality and a native pattern language using the concrete syntax of the language for...

Abstract Public green spaces are very important in the urban structure, both on environmental and social level. Renovation may be necessary, but process must involve complexity. The objective of this research is to define main criteria a successful renovation process, using two case studies - Lucius-Burckhardt-Platz Kassel, Germany, ‘Parku i lodrave’ city Peja, Kosovo, where recent intervention...

This intervention study was designed to show the effects of the renovation of moisture and mold damaged school building on the schoolchildren’s health and exposure. Microbial sampling from indoor air of the school and a health questionnaire study were performed before and after renovation. The results were compared to those from non-damaged reference school. The effect of a thorough renovation ...
