“…The quality of the proposed design principles strongly depends on the skills and creativity of the researchers. The research methodology of step 5 is to select a suitable philosophical theory that has the ability to relate human behaviour and specifications for technological design (Verkerk et al , 2016). An absolute precondition for such a philosophical theory is that it provides insight in the nature of human beings, the character of technological artefacts, and the relationship between these two.…”

“…Dooyeweerd (1969) describes in his theory of modal aspects that every whole or entity functions in different aspects or dimensions. For example, a human being needs food (biological aspect), thinks in a rational way (logical aspect), interacts with other people (social aspect), buys and sells products (economic aspect), and cares for others (moral aspects) (Verkerk et al , 2016, pp. 62-85).…”

Purpose-Older people with dementia (OPD) have specific housing and technology-related needs, for which various design principles exist. A model for designing environments and its constituting items for people with dementia that has a firm foundation in neurology may help guide designers in making design choices. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach-A general design model is presented consisting of three principles for OPD, namely designing for ageing people; designing for a favourable state and designing for beautiful moments. The neurosciences as a whole give shape to an eminent framework explaining the behaviour of OPD. One of the objectives of this paper is to translate the design principles into design specifications and to show that these specifications can be translated in a design. Findings-Philosophical concepts are introduced which are required to understand design for OPD. Four case studies from Dutch nursing homes are presented that show how the theory of modal aspects of the philosopher Dooyeweerd can be used to map design specifications in a systematic way. Research limitations/implications-These examples of design solutions illustrate the applicability of the model developed in this article. It emphasises the importance of the environment for supporting the daily life of OPD. Originality/value-There is a need for a design model for OPD. The environment and technology should initiate positive behaviours and meaningful experiences. In this paper, a general model for the designing of environments for OPD was developed that has a firm foundation in neurology and behavioural sciences. This model consists of six distinct steps and each step can be investigated empirically. In other words, this model may lay the foundation for an evidence-based design.

“…Em seu desenvolvimento, a complexidade da tecnologia emerge em questões como a elaboração de projetos com considerações dos aspectos técnicos dos produtos e dos impactos ambientais, transformações mútuas da relação tecnologia e sociedade e no envolvimento de diversas especialidades para ajudar o processo tecnológico. No da agricultura, tendo por exemplo a soja, é perceptível que a execução do projeto tecnológico de seu melhoramento envolve a multidisciplinaridade de conhecimentos, a estruturação laboratorial e computacional, as técnicas de análise de dados e as análises críticas de outros tipos de ciências (VERKERK et al, 2018).

As práticas tecnocientíficas estabelecem saberes, atribuições, significados e bens de produção. A produção do conhecimento científico nas sociedades modernas envolve um trabalho intersetorial de universidades e institutos de pesquisa, iniciativa privada e governo. Objetiva-se, com este artigo, contextualizar o desenvolvimento das ciências rurais brasileiras. A estrutura seguida na pesquisa bibliográfica será organizada em três tópicos para desenvolver as discussões: conceituações das ciências agrárias, análise histórica e dados das Ciências Agrárias nas universidades brasileiras. A fonte da pesquisa das publicações para o estado da arte é o banco de teses e dissertações da CAPES, onde o termo de busca é “ciências agrárias”. O primeiro ponto abordado é a finalidade das Ciências Agrárias, que desde a antiguidade foi aperfeiçoada em seus saberes para o aumento de produção. A evolução é tamanha que se subdividiram em vários segmentos com as respectivas prioridades tecnológicas. A segunda abordagem envolvida mostra as Ciências Agrárias na base educacional no Brasil, instalando-se no século XIX. Com a proeminência demanda no Brasil, e a necessidade da expansão dos cultivos, inauguraram-se os Programas de Pós-Graduação voltados para agricultura. No terceiro destaque, os resultados práticos da produção científica na área ao longo do tempo, indicando que o tema segue sendo predominantemente desenvolvido dentro das subdivisões das Ciências Agrárias, tanto nas áreas de avaliação quanto nas áreas de conhecimento, com valores estimados em 88,21% e 86,90%, respectivamente, das publicações levantadas.

“…The aim of this paper is to develop the npm one step further by investigating the role of contexts in the definition of the different forms of normativity (see Mouw and Griffioen [1993] and Verkerk et al [2016] for similar attempts). In most of its initial formulations (Hoogland et al [1995] is an exception, especially section 4.4 and chapter 10), the npm aimed at the individual professional-patient/client relation.…”

The article develops fresh perspectives on the normative practice model (npm) by extending its application to meso- and macrocontexts. Health care-related interactions, negotiations, and activities in these contexts have their own internal structure. One of the origins of the crisis in medical professionalism is the disregard for norms that shape health care conditions: efficiency standards, rules for policy making, quality measures, and principles of distributive justice. Disconnecting the professional from the moral purposes of health care was another source of the crisis. Doctors are not engineers; technocratic and scientistic views on professionalism detract from the vocation of the physician, which is to heal, to diminish suffering, and to console. The npm does not offer a blueprint—rather, it serves as a heuristic device that helps professionals and administrators to orient themselves both conceptually and normatively. Differences between contexts lead to different constellations of normative principles and to different descriptions of core responsibilities of stakeholders.
