“…Others have included the physical design of mother–baby health clinics to provide conducive space for confidential nutrition counseling; design of user-friendly metrics for tracking babies’ development at home; design of health volunteers’ home-visit protocols to improve inter-personal counseling and mentoring for mothers with children under 2; adaptation of local lullabies to promote responsive and adequate breastfeeding; design of local solutions for maintaining hygienic play space for babies; design of games to promote iron-rich diets; and design of fruit and vegetable–based healthy snacks to replace packaged unhealthy snacks. In all cases, the key has been not to develop a product which can be scaled up to others but to localize or “scale down” the solution (Myerson, 2016). Interestingly, when attempts were made to professionalize the solutions, for example, by printing the home-based metrics or publishing the new child-friendly recipes, people did not want to use them.…”

This research note describes the use of immersion research in combination with people-driven design as an alternative approach to tackling intransigent behavior change challenges. Using a case study from Indonesia where child stunting was prevalent despite diverse food availability, the four-step process of immersion research, immersion in immersion findings, people-driven design, and trialing is described. It highlights the need to change mindsets among design experts so that they forge a deeper connection with people and their circumstances and move from providing technocratic solutions for people to facilitating change processes which are practical, relatable, and are led by people themselves.

“…Table 3 shows indirect costs of the HTGR. Scaling law is a method used to estimate the cost of overnight cost at a certain size based on the existing cost at a certain capacity [28]- [32]. Scaling law is done by using equation 1, where n is the scaling factor value.…”

Indonesia’s cogeneration power plant for industrial processes (PeLUIt) is needed to be implemented in Indonesia. Economic analysis is an important factor for PeLUIt implementation. One of the data that needs in the analysis is overnight cost. This research estimates HTGR’s overnight cost by using scaling law.By using the estimated value, it can be calculated the PeLUIt overnight cost. The research’s purpose is to obtain an estimation of overnight costs of PeLUIt. The estimation result shows the overnight cost of PeLUIt. PeLUIt 10 MWth has an overnight cost 166,26 million USD. PeLUIt 30 MWth has an overnight cost 233,49 million USD. PeLUIt 50 MWth has an overnight cost 281,31 million USD. PeLUIt 100 MWth has an overnight cost 371,86 million USD. PeLUIt 350 MWth has an overnight cost 657,16 million USD.Keywords: PeLUIt; Estimation; High temperature gas-cooled reactor; Overnight cost; Scaling law

“…An important factor in the fundamental design of education is the training of designers who have modern competencies and are able to develop and work in the context of the dynamically changing needs of society. For example, now the world community is more and more concerned about the growing trends towards the transformation of the designer's thinking, who must have a special quality, a unique scaling property, determined, on the one hand, by an understanding of the globality of design, and on the other hand, by the possibility of immersion in a highly specialized design problem to solve specific applied tasks at the level of product design, communication design or visual design [10]. Such a content component of the system influences the formation of a special understanding of design problems: very specific and at the same time embedded in the general global design field; and as a consequence, a change in attitude towards the process, the organization of design activities, the choice of algorithms for solving the problem, and the result.…”

Design education is rapidly developing in unity with formation and strengthening of theoretical and methodological design basis. Changing requirements for the modern educational system provokes the search for innovative ways of development. Rapid introduction of distance education has made it possible to test experimental forms and methods of teaching design students. As a result of processing the experimental data, outdated models of the organization of the educational process, the lack of flexibility and variability of curricula and work programs of disciplines were revealed. It became necessary to adjust the educational process, taking into account modern mental characteristics of students, their levels of motivation, system of values and ideas about the profession of a designer, taking into account dynamic development of existing design directions and emergence of new specific branches. These factors determine the creation of a methodological model built into the context of design education, which should have such qualities as flexibility and adaptability to changes in the external environment. Implementation of flexible adaptive design teaching model becomes a source of innovative changes in this very external environment. To build a methodological system, the following methodological approaches were used: cognitive, reflexive, eutagogic, synergetic, personality-activity, heuristic-algorithmic, recursive-design.
