- Abstract
This research studies innovation hubs as part of a wider phenomenon of innovation for development. Innovation hubs are collaborative spaces for entrepreneurs that include aspects of coworking, incubators, innovation centres and makerspaces. Despite the lack of clarity of what impact they have, hubs have been spreading in the Global North and Global South, funded and promoted by international agencies and local governments as spaces that promote entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth. My research critically evaluates the discourses of innovation for development and examines the implications of innovation hubs for beyond the mainstream development perspectives, drawing upon two case studies of innovation hubs in Zambia and the UK respectively. Innovation hubs provide the resources needed to catalyse entrepreneurship and innovation, yet understanding why hubs are important organisations to sustain and support is unclear. In the broad discourse, innovation hubs have been considered as grassroots organisations, stepping away from the top-down, policy driven push towards innovation. They are, however, mainly funded and promoted by international organisations and government bodies. Consequently, they are expected to create successful ventures, contribute to job creation and innovation development. This is aligned with the literature of innovation for development that typically sees innovation as a main driver of economic growth and competitive advantage. From this perspective, innovation in the Global North is presented as a hegemonic practice that should be adopted and diffused to the Global South, resembling a catch-up process and a unilinear path towards progress (Massey 2005). Furthermore, where innovation has been framed to include the poor and the most marginalised, it does this by looking at people based on their economic capacity, rather than their freedom to live a valuable life (Sen 1999). By adopting a narrow focus on economic growth and incorporating the poor in the distributive market system, what is missing from these views is an analysis of how individuals perceive themselves in innovation, and how social, historical and structural forces shape these perceptions. This shortcoming, that I label 'the invisibility of people' in the innovation for development discourse, will be addressed by drawing upon three theoretical perspectives: Doreen Massey's spatial conceptualisation of development, Amartya Sen's Capability Approach, and situated intersectionality, developed by feminist scholars. This is a thesis in alternative format, consisting of three academic papers - submitted to journals and conference proceedings - and a short thesis that seeks to conceptualise innovation as a mechanism for development from a human-centred perspective, with potential to expand individual's freedom and situated agency. Empirical research of the thesis consists of two qualitative studies of two innovation hubs based in London (UK) and Lusaka (Zambia) respectively. Data collection was undertaken between 2014 and 2015 using methods including ethnography, participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The first paper applies Doreen Massey's spatial perspectives to argue that innovation for development could be framed from a multiplicity of perspectives that breaks the power geometry and advances a more holistic approach. The second paper continues developing such arguments, and applies Amartya Sen's Capability Approach to explore whether members of an innovation hub in Zambia perceive capability expansion by being part of innovation processes. The third paper applies the concept of situated intersectionality developed by feminist scholars to look at how women members of both hubs experience their agency to innovation as situated in specific socio-historical contexts and framings of innovation that are normally associated with masculinity. Through the application of these theoretical approaches, I argue that innovation for development is shaped by global narratives of innovation and local sense making. As such, this process follows multiple trajectories and has an impact on freedom and choice expansion, as well as inclusion. Innovation for development then is a process by which people develop capabilities in multiple aspects of their agency and wellbeing.

- Abstract
ONCOFIT is a randomized clinical trial with a two-arm parallel design aimed at determining the influence of a multidisciplinary Prehabilitation and Postoperative Program (PPP) on post-surgery complications in patients undergoing resection of colon cancer. This intervention will include supervised physical exercise, dietary behavior change, and psychological support comparing its influence to the standard care. Primary and secondary endpoints will be assessed at baseline, at preoperative conditions, at the end of the PPP intervention (after 12 weeks) and 1-year post-surgery, and will include: post-surgery complications (primary endpoint); prolonged hospital length of stay; readmissions and emergency department call within 1-year after surgery; functional capacity; patient reported outcome measures targeted; anthropometry and body composition; clinical/tumor parameters; physical activity levels and sedentariness; dietary habits; other unhealthy habits; sleep quality; and fecal microbiota diversity and composition. Considering the feasibility of the present intervention in a real-life scenario, ONCOFIT will contribute to the standardization of a cost-effective strategy for preventing and improving health-related consequences in patients undergoing resection of colon cancer with an important clinical and economic impact, not only in the scientific community, but also in clinical practice.

- Abstract
The physical place where groups of people settle can directly influence their quality of life, which shows the importance of the physical conditions of the place for the development of daily life. This article aims to design an instrument for measuring the Urban Quality of Life Index, establishing the Urban Marginal Neighborhoods in Peru as the study area. The design is based on studies carried out in realities such as Chile, Mexico and Peru, specifically in the Marginal Urban Neighborhoods. The research is descriptive, not experimental with a quantitative approach. The instrument proposed as a result, provides an overview and will provide an exact figure of the urban quality of life index, based on indicators belonging to three dimensions. It is aimed at three main entities: Government entities, citizen watchdog organizations and neighborhood leaders. For the feasibility of the instrument, two modules were established according to the information collection method, one basic and the other complete. It is concluded that with the application of this instrument it could be possible to have a vision that helps to achieve a better territorial organization in terms of the Marginal Urban Neighborhoods immersed in the urban explosion, in the process of a sustainable urban development., El lugar físico donde se asientan los grupos de personas puede influir directamente en su calidad de vida, lo que evidencia la importancia de las condiciones físicas del lugar para el desarrollo de la vida cotidiana. Este artículo tiene como objetivo diseñar un instrumento para la medición del Índice de Calidad de Vida Urbana, estableciendo como área de estudio los Barrios Urbano Marginales en Perú. El diseño está basado en estudios realizados de realidades como Chile, México y Perú, específicamente de los Barrios Urbano Marginales. La investigación es descriptiva, no experimental con enfoque cuantitativo. El instrumento planteado como resultado, brinda una visión general y proporcionará una cifra exacta del índice de calidad de vida urbana, basada en indicadores pertenecientes a tres dimensiones. Está dirigido a tres entes principales: Entidades gubernamentales, organizaciones de vigilancia ciudadana y dirigentes vecinales. Para efectos de viabilidad del instrumento, se establecieron dos módulos según el método de recolección de información, uno básico y otro completo. Se concluye, que con la aplicación de este instrumento se podría tener una visión que ayude a lograr un mejor ordenamiento territorial en cuanto a los Barrios Urbano Marginales inmersos en la explosión urbana, en vías de un desarrollo urbano sostenible.

This article describes the Notre Dame ACE Academies initiative, a university-school partnership program that provides comprehensive support to schools through a unique governance structure. The authors describe how the university's experience of an earlier partnership initiative informed the development of the Notre Dame ACE Academies model and the rationale for establishing of a new governance model for the program. ACE developed a framework for partnership and collaboration designed to create and sustain a strong Catholic school culture with high academic standards. The program provides resources and formation to support principal and teacher efforts to enhance academic achievement, and the program ensures the schools' long-term viability through responsible stewardship and strategic advancement efforts focused on maximizing parental choice scholarship opportunities. The key lever to enact these transformations is a new Catholic school governance structure, in which pastors and bishops formally share certain critical responsibilities with the university and other community stakeholders through the establishment of a board of specified jurisdiction. By taking responsibility for the areas of financial oversight and support and evaluation of the principal, the board ensures growth in academic achievement and school sustainability.

- Abstract
En nuestro país, principalmente en Lima, la búsqueda de un lugar donde aparcar se ha convertido en un problema diario para las personas que se movilizan con su auto. Es muy difícil ubicar un lugar seguro a un costo asequible con la tranquilidad de no pensar lo que pueda sucederle a nuestro vehículo mientras nosotros realizamos nuestras actividades diarias. Con el aumento del parque automotriz, esta problemática se incrementa año tras año y tiende a seguir aumentando. Por lo que, nuestra propuesta buscará ayudar a que conductores y propietarios de estacionamientos puedan conectar. Nuestra plataforma permitirá a los propietarios mostrar los espacios disponibles con los que cuentan, publicando sus fotos y el lugar donde se encuentran ubicados, para que, de esta forma, sean ubicados por los conductores de una manera fácil y rápida. Se demuestra que el proyecto es viable financieramente con un Valor Actual Neto (VAN) elevado ($ 488,000.00), es escalable a todo Lima y a las principales ciudades del mundo que presentan similar problemática. Además, es sostenible en el tiempo porque contribuye a los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de salud y bienestar., In our country, mainly in Lima, the search for a place to park has become a daily problem for people who frequently drives their vehicles, it is very difficult to locate a safe place at an affordable cost, which gives us the peace of mind of leaving our vehicle in a safe place. while we carry out our daily activities. With the increase in the vehicle fleet, this problem increases year after year and tends to continue increasing. Therefore, our proposal will seek to help drivers and parking owners connect. Our platform will allow owners to show the available spaces they have, publishing their photos and the place where they are located, so that, in this way, they are located by drivers in an easy and fast way. It is shown that the project is financially viable with a high Net Present Value (NPV), which is $488,000.00. It is scalable to every place in Lima and the main cities in the world that present similar problems, and it is sustainable because it contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of health and well-being.
