The emphasis in this paper will be on the illustration and explanation of the concepts and terminology defining the research framework within which the research programme was developed. Having crossed a somehow wide field, which ranges from two extremes which could be identified as "experience" and "experiment", has prompted us to a reflection on the similarities and distinctions between these two terms and also on the dimensions among which this diversity is expressed. Research trajectory that started with the construction of a Role-Playing Game (RPG) to support local participatory decision-making about water management, continued with the development of an experimental protocol to test economic hypotheses exhibited by the RPG and developed into the analysis of the influence of context on players' behaviour. RPG decomposition started from the definition of the concept of "context" that groups several informational dimensions: the game instructions; communication among players; and their involvement. In this presentation, only the two first dimensions are treated. They open perspectives to study the third one and the relations between these three attributes of the game context.

This article describes the use of "Voyant Tools", an open access text analysis application, to examine a corpus of articles from open access journals, dealing with the topic of digital humanities. The corpus consisted of 404 articles recorded in the "Clarivate Analytics Web of Science" and "Scopus ScienceDirect" databases. The authors discuss how "Voyant Tools" aids to identify the dominant fields of research through quantitative methods and to reveal the main discourse themes using distant reading and interactive reading capabilities. They also identify some problems encountered during the analyses, and also discuss the usefulness of data visualization for research and interpretation. Computer tools can be useful for experienced researchers who are interested in quantitative text analysis, as well as for beginners, as it provides an opportunity to acquire basic knowledge that will lead to a deeper interest in textual analysis methods.
The Component Sizing Tool is an online tool, which can be used for the sizing of system compo-nents used within Alternating Current (AC), Direct Current (DC) and hybrid Alternating Current and Direct Current (ACDC) networks. The Deliverable of the Component sizing Tool is an online Component Sizing Tool, with an additional report explaining the calculations and simulations in the background. The simulation model and the online tool, however, remain the intellectual property of Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), the code itself will not be made public. The component sizing tool for technical and economic optimization within the HYPERRIDE project is lead by AIT who is responsible for the tool development and implementation, in collaboration with additional partners EMOTION and ASM, whos role are to provide the neccessary profile data for the simulations. The component sizing tool for economic optimisation will provide a technical and economic base for finding the optimal component size solution for three different use cases within the HYPERRIDE project. The first use case is as an addition to the Grid Planning Tool for the development of Hybrid ACDC microgrids, for the simplified simulation of battery storages within Hybrid ACDC micro grids. Secondly, the tool will be used for simulations in the Italian pilot as EMOTION and ASM are the main contributors. Therefore, input data from the partners will be pre-implemented into the online tool to simplify the tool usage. As a third use case, the tool will be used to generate input parameters for creating business models, regulatory assessment and identify consumers. The online Component Sizing Tool is currently available under http://sizing-tool.hyperride.eu (Username: HYPERRIDE, password: Component-sizing-Tool).

Futures and foresight tools support strategy work by structuring inquiry into- and generating information about the user's uncertain operating environment. Each tool accomplishes this differently, making their selection non-trivial. Scholars have recommended that tools be organized for selection based on criteria such as the nature of inquiry they generate, the resources needed for their implementation, their input or data transformation affordances, the content they produce, or their temporal directionality. In practice, foresight tools are selected by actors under constrained circumstances. With the aim to improve the impact of foresight investments, a selection schema is developed that shortlists tools by how each generates relevant knowledge for solving the user's problem across a landscape (locus and level) of uncertainty. The paper reports on initial field tests, the resulting refinements to the schema, and proposes a diagnostic protocol for its operationalization. The paper concludes by offering suggestions for leveraging the schema in firms, consulting, and teaching.
In: Local and urban governance
The book explores the key factors affecting the successful implementation of public participation spatial systems in participatory planning as part of the urban governance system. It brings insight from nation-wide research in the Czech Republic and the implications to other countries in the region and beyond. The main aim of the proposed book is to analyse the state-of-the-art of using geoparticipatory tools for citizens participation in community decision-making process and to suggest the effective implementation of the geoparticipatory tools available in urban governance. This book explores the situation in the Czech Republic as a representative of for Eastern Bloc country, three decades after the political transition, on its way to public participation in local and urban governance. The active involvement of the citizens into the local and urban decision making process via geoparticipatory spatial tools is becoming a popular research field among human geographers, behavioural geographers, GIS scientists, environmental psychologists, policy scientists and many others scientific areas.

Risk-sensitive capital requirements, such as those established in Basel 2/3, and loan loss provisions based on incurred losses or on short-horizon expected losses, increase procyclicality in the banking system. They could, therefore, contribute to fuelling credit bubbles in good times, as rising risks are not properly covered either with capital or provisions, and credit crunches in bad times, as requirements are sharply increased to compensate for the former undercapitalisation and under-provisioning, and banks respond by cutting credit to households and firms. This paper shows that the procyclicality of current and envisaged capital requirements and loan loss provisions is a serious concern. But, at the same time, it can be dealt with using countercyclical macroprudential tools, first, by smoothing minimum capital requirements using a very simple and intuitive formula based on GDP growth and, secondly, by using forward-looking provisions such as the Spanish dynamic provisions, a working macroprudential mechanism for more than a decade and a full lending cycle.
