There has been relatively little empirical research into the causes of research misconduct. To begin to address this void, the authors collected data from closed case files of the Office of Research Integrity (ORI). These data were in the form of statements extracted from ORI file documents including transcripts, investigative reports, witness statements, and correspondence. Researchers assigned these statements to 44 different concepts. These concepts were then analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The authors chose a solution consisting of seven clusters: (1) personal and professional stressors, (2) organizational climate, (3) job insecurities, (4) rationalizations A, (5) personal inhibitions, (6) rationalizations B and, (7) personality factors. The authors discuss the implications of their findings for policy and for future research.

One of the critical aspects of sheltering after a disaster is the divergence between providing for short-term needs (emergency or temporary shelter) and long-term needs (permanent housing). However, more often than not, short-term housing solutions are based on universal prototypes, and are not related to the local culture and climate; they are focused on providing immediate relief rather than engaging with the lengthier process of physical and emotional post-disaster reconstruction. Because the shelters provided are often standardized and ill-fitting for families’ needs, families will modify their shelters in order to make them more appropriate for their physical and cultural needs. Cases of transitional accommodation provided after earthquakes in Peru (2007) and Chile (2010) by TECHO NGO and the Government of Chile are no exception. The following photographs are one component of a research project that sought to understand the process of recovery after a disaster, based on the study of 27 shelters modified by their inhabitants

Building permanent accommodation after a disaster takes time for reasons including the removal of debris, the lack of available land, and the procurement of resources. In the period in-between, affected communities find shelter in different ways. Temporary houses or transitional shelters are used when families cannot return to their pre-disaster homes and no other alternative can be provided. In practice, families stay in a standard interim solution for months or even years while trying to return to their routines. Consequently, they adapt their houses to meet their mid-term needs. This study analysed temporary houses in Chile and Peru to illustrate how families modify them with or without external support. The paper underlines that guidance must be given on how to alter them safely and on how to incorporate the temporary solution into the permanent structure, because families adapt their houses whether or not they are so designed.

Although the international displacement of people caused by the Syrian conflict has dominated the media for the past several years, an inside story that is less visible requires more attention: that of internal displacement. More than half of the population of Syria has been forced to flee their houses. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in December 2017 accounted for more than six and a half million, more than a third of the total of population of Syria in 2011 (Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), 2012. http://www. inter nal-displ aceme nt.org/middl e-east-and-north -afric a/syria /). Displaced Syrians have experienced constraints in getting adequate housing for the short- and mid-term inside and outside the country. However, internal displacement, in particular, adds a dimension to the complex notion of mass sheltering. Sheltering policies, or lack thereof, as well as the shelter itself as a design and construction product all express the power of those who govern more than the aspirations of those who inhabit. Affected groups find solutions by themselves, via national or international organisations, or a combination of both. However, such solutions function under the influence of authorities controlling the area in which IDPs are received. Among the alternatives available to displaced communities, this paper reviews two cases of internally displaced families in Syria: a collective centre in government-controlled Damascus (schools) and a planned camp in Afes village in a rebel-held area near Idlib.

This scoping review explores the bamboo construction situation in Pakistan, including the species available, where they grow, built examples, perceptions, barriers to their use and the potential of the material, aiming to enable state-of-the-art use of bamboo in the country. 3 Cite this article Wagemann E and Ramage MH (2019) Briefing: Bamboo for construction in Pakistana scoping review.

This article analyses how energy efficiency regulatory frameworks have been developed in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Chile, within a context of developing countries, and it discusses if this context has been able to influence a culture of buildings’ energy efficiency in consumers. An online survey was applied to consumers who wanted to buy a house, aiming to understand their position regarding sustainability, and the role of the state versus the individual role, among other issues. The aim of the study is to identify consumer’s perception of energy efficiency and sustainability to promote a future research agenda in the Latin American context. In general, consumers value sustainability, except when they are presented in opposition to economic growth and social protection. However, it is possible to identify differences between Chile, with an established neoliberal economy, and countries that have economies in transition. Indeed, Argentina and Brazil show differences in terms of th...

cost of the building in the Philippines is around 469GBP, with an approximate construction time of 7 days by a team of 4 people. The cost of the house in the UK was: 3,556GBP due to the high cost of the imported materials. Image 25: Side view of the finalised prototype. Full structure and partial wall system. July 2014.

In the face of a natural catastrophe, resistance is a necessary but not sufficient condition. A building can withstand an earthquake or a flood, but that does not mean that the life it held will go back to be developed in a normal way. Hence, based on the experience after the 2010 earthquake, this text advocates resilience as a key concept, a scope of which goes far beyond mere material resistance.
