“…There has been reporting of reductions in premature mortality rates in recent decades, while an estimated 1 billion people still lack access to health care [ 30 ] and health systems, including primary health care, still fail to efficiently face challenges from current needs and emerging epidemics [ 31 ]. These insights from the AHI-funded projects which prioritized primary health care delivery are examples of how UHC can be achieved [ 31 , 32 ]. The PHIT projects have shown that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health systems strengthening.…”

BackgroundAchieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in sub-Saharan Africa will require substantial improvements in the coverage and performance of primary health care delivery systems. Projects supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation’s (DDCF) African Health Initiative (AHI) created public-private-academic and community partnerships in five African countries to implement and evaluate district-level health system strengthening interventions. In this study, we captured common implementation experiences and lessons learned to understand core elements of successful health systems interventions.MethodsWe used qualitative data from key informant interviews and annual progress reports from the five Population Health Implementation and Training (PHIT) partnership projects funded through AHI in Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia.ResultsFour major overarching lessons were highlighted. First, variety and inclusiveness of concerned key players (public, academic and private) are necessary to address complex health system issues at all levels. Second, a learning culture that promotes evidence creation and ability to efficiently adapt were key in order to meet changing contextual needs. Third, inclusion of strong implementation science tools and strategies allowed informed and measured learning processes and efficient dissemination of best practices. Fourth, five to seven years was the minimum time frame necessary to effectively implement complex health system strengthening interventions and generate the evidence base needed to advocate for sustainable change for the PHIT partnership projects.ConclusionThe AHI experience has raised remaining, if not overlooked, challenges and potential solutions to address complex health systems strengthening intervention designs and implementation issues, while aiming to measurably accomplish sustainable positive change in dynamic, learning, and varied contexts.

“…Beyond work on environmental value, case studies of "brick-ing" of anthropomorphic IoT objects by companies show-case how end-of-life practices for objects can change, when they are designed to have sentimental or emotional value. Embedding sentiment and emotion into objects is a long-standing design principle for supporting longer retention by their owners [3,7]. A recent 'viral' example of the power of emotional value in mediating an IoT object's end of life was the social robot, Jibo (Figure 3), which announced its own 'death' when the company behind it shut down its servers, by saying, "maybe someday, when robots are way more ad-vanced than today, and everyone has them in their homes, you can tell yours that I said hello."…”

“…It belongs to the ancient world, where defects, inhomogeneity, signs, and traces, wear and tear were considered beautiful even before industrialisation changed the paradigm. The valorization of imperfection provides more emotional bonds and emphasises the relationship with objects just because it reflects in endless ways, how human beings interact and live with them (Chapman, 2005). It is well known how the ancient Japanese tradition of Wabi-Sabi promoted the beauty of the imperfect things (Koren, 2002), where the beauty of the physical world reflects the irreversible flow of life (Juniper, 2003).…”

Materials embedded in artifacts determine the user's materials\ud experience and influence the aesthetic perception. Currently, the widely use of\ud perfect and homogeneous industrial materials is dictating our experience and guide\ud our perception. However, In the last years, a new phenomenon where designers\ud seem interested on recuperating control of the development and the design of\ud materials is emerging. This phenomenon is known as DIY-Materials and is a way for\ud designers to self-produce materials. Those materials appear to be a delightful\ud source of richness regarding the perception and must be considered in designing for\ud the next aesthetic.\ud The paper aims to present some initial considerations and ideas for explaining the\ud current investigation into the aesthetics of DIY-Materials. All the previous studies\ud about the relationship between materials and their aesthetic attributes and\ud qualities are under examination. We create materials boards using the extensive\ud current cases studies, and we framed them following the settled kingdoms\ud classification of DIY-Materials. As part of the study, we started to make some\ud aesthetic considerations for each kingdom with the general purpose to move\ud further formulating useful strategies for designers to self-produce their materials
