Under Graduate Degree | Semester module | NQF level: 8 | Credits: 12 |
Module presented in | |||
LME3701 | |||
The purpose of this module is to provide professional development curricula in the sub-field of legal research. Specifically, it equips students with the value, knowledge, and skills vital to apply legal research skills, methodologies, techniques and technologies, which contribute to the design and production of evidence based research, in a variety of legal professional capacities. It incorporates African epistemology and indigenization of research processes by recognising that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 is the basis for all legal action and that the Bill of Rights advocates principles of Ubuntu, fairness, openness, responsiveness, social responsibility, and humanisation of law. RRLLB81 is the practical culmination of the theoretical knowledge obtained from LME3701 on the 3rd level of the Bachelor of Law. Students who have been accredited with this module will be able to write-up research results and deliver a theory-driven legal argument in written format which complies with the conventions of legal research. |

Generally, research means to search again. Research is an investigation that is based on the source of law. Legal research is not only about reading books, principles, regulations, etc but the whole idea behind doing research is to dig more deeply and examine a subject that you need to know. The research report acts as Skelton of that particular research that includes the all-important aspect of that research. This paper discusses the basic elements of the research report and how to prepare and present a legal research report

Innovation Networks in the Industrial Revolution
How did Britain sustain faster rates of economic growth than comparable European countries, such as France, during the Industrial Revolution? We argue that Britain possessed an important but underappreciated innovation advantage: British inventors worked in technologies that were more central within the innovation network. We offer a new approach for measuring the innovation network using patent data from Britain and France in the late-18th and early-19th century. We show that the network influenced innovation outcomes and demonstrate that British inventors worked in more central technologies within the innovation network than French inventors. Drawing on recently developed theoretical tools, and using a novel estimation strategy, we quantify the implications for technology growth rates in Britain compared to France. Our results indicate that the shape of the innovation network, and the location of British inventors within it, explains an important share of the more rapid technological change and industrial growth in Britain during the Industrial Revolution.

Positive energy districts: fundamentals, assessment methodologies, modeling and research gaps.
1. Introduction
State of the art on positive energy districts, 2. methodology.
- Setting: a café-like environment with small, round tables, tablecloths, colored pens, sticky notes and any interaction tool available.
- Welcome and Introduction: the host offers a welcome, introduces the World Café process, and sets the context.
- Small-Group Rounds: three or more twenty-minute rounds of conversations occur in small groups. Participants switch tables after each round, with one person optionally remaining as the “table host” to brief newcomers.
- Questions: each round starts with a context-specific question. Questions may remain constant or be built upon each other to guide the discussion.
- Harvest: participants share their discussion insights with the larger group, often visually represented through graphic recording.
- Objectives of the workshop and preparation. The first step of the World Café approach is to identify the main objectives. For this workshop, there was the need to investigate the current landscape of PED research, as well as to have a benchmark and collect feedback on the current research activities within Annex 83. Questions were structured in order to frame the current state-of-the-art understanding of the topic. A mapping of the potential different stakeholders in the PED design and implementation process was carried out at this stage. As a result, municipalities, community representatives, energy contractors, real estate companies and commercial facilitators, as well as citizens, were identified as main target groups. Later, the follow-up discussions were built around these main actors. Further, the mapping of the stakeholders’ involvement was carried out for better understanding the complexity of relationships, roles and synergies as well as the impact on the design, implementation and operation stages of PEDs.

Categories of Innovation | Innovation Types | Possible Revenues/Advantages in PED Business Model/Governance | Possible Costs/Drawbacks in PED Business Model/Governance |
---|---|---|---|
Configuration | Profit Model | Providing thermal comfort instead of a certain amount of thermal energy to inhabitants | Misconducts or rebound effect |
Network | Inclusion of the PED into larger projects and international networks, possibility of co-financing and knowledge sharing | Misalignment or delay of the PED project to the original timeline due to constrains related to international activities and networking | |
Structure | Participation of the real estate companies/investors in the development and management of the energy infrastructure and EV mobility services as well as building management | Lack of knowledge, involvement in activities out of the usual business of investors | |
Free or almost free thermal energy supply from “waste energy” sources | Failure of the network due to unliteral decisions of a member in ceasing the provision of energy | ||
Process | Involvement of future inhabitants in the design phase of the energy community since the early stage, to share the sense of belonging and ownership | Reluctancy of inhabitants to participate in additional expenses or being involved in “entrepreneurial” activities or bored by the participation in boards and governance structures | |
Offering | Product Performance | Investors and companies involved in the PED development take profit from their role of frontrunner placing them before the competitors or entering in new market niches | Hi-tech BA and BEM systems may result costly in O&M, because of digital components, cloud and computing services, rapid aging of technology |
Product System | Including EV available for PED users may generate new incomes and reduce the need of individual cars. The integration of EV in the energy system may offer “flexibility services” | Lack of knowledge, involvement in activities out of the usual business of investors/real estate companies. Low interest of users in participating to the flexibility market, because of discomfort (unexpected empty battery of the EV) | |
Experience | Services | Provision of high tech and high-performance buildings, with outstanding energy performances (lower heating/cooling costs) and sophisticated Building Automation and Energy Management systems | Sophisticated Building Automation and Energy Management systems may result “invasive” to users, asking for continuous interaction with complicate systems, or leaving them not enough freedom to choose (e.g., opening the windows is not possible to achieve some energy performance) |
Channel | The PED is promoted as a rewarding sustainable investment, this allows the city to attract more clean investments (public funds, investment funds, donors), speeding up the energy transition | The communication of the characteristics of the PED is not done in the proper way | |
Brand | Gold class rated buildings may have an increased value on the market, resulting in higher selling and rental costs, occupancy rate. The high architectural quality is appreciated by the market | The Branding/certification of the PED is not recognized by the market as an added value. | |
The development of the PED takes longer as expected. Technology failures during the implementation or operation phase create a bad reputation and discourage future similar activities | |||
Customer Engagement | The PED is available as a digital twin, users are engaged via a dedicated app, allowing interaction, communication, reporting, monitoring of bills, etc. | The PED is perceived by users (e.g., social housing tenants) as a hassle and not responding to their needs, because they have not been involved in the identification of peculiar traits since the beginning |
