This article joins with Richard Sennett's (2008) reclamation of the craft worker, but also extends it. Through a focus on craft as experience and repetitive practice, Sennett reveals how craft is a key facet of several contemporary professions. Using the example of hairdressing, this article moves beyond Sennett's conclusions, illuminating how craft is at work within female-dominated service professions. The article adds to the growing body of literature on hairdressing, recognizing that while this literature involves body and emotion work, such growth has been at the exclusion of the craft components of the work. More broadly, the article argues that the craft of service work is obscured by the intangibility of the materials produced and the practices performed, thus limiting the value of such work.

Lo scenario si sviluppa a partire da un approccio human-centered (ISO, 2011) che sposta l'attenzione dal farmaco al paziente. Le nuove tecnologie e la democratizzazio- ne dei processi produttivi permettono infatti di aderire maggiormente agli specifici ed attuali bisogni dell'utente. La customizzazione, forte delle sue caratteristiche di flessibilità e personalizzazione (Micelli, 2016), non investe solo gli aspetti legati alle necessità terapeutiche del paziente, ma soddisfa anche le esigenze legate all'estetica, trasformando i dispositivi medici ed ortopedici in accessori. I servizi offerti possono essere suddivisi in tre categorie: display, consulenza e produzione. Display: visualizzazione dei diversi prodotti che l'utente potrà scegliere per poi personalizzare e degli ingredienti impiegati per preparazioni galeniche, fornendo la possibilità di conoscere e scegliere i più adatti al proprio benessere; Consulenza: consulto specialistico di professionisti esterni - medici, ortopedici, dermatologi e nutrizionisti - allo scopo di fornire una maggiore e più accurata offerta per i servizi proposti; Produzione: stampa 3d di farmaci personalizzati a rilascio controllato e dosaggio multiplo, trattamenti cosmetici ed ortesi realizzate su misura, preparazioni galeniche e veterinarie tailor-made. Il progetto dello spazio avrà come fulcro il laboratorio a vista – luogo di produzione e comunicazione trasparente – attorno al quale si costituirà l'area display, lasciando invece alla consulenza una zona riservata in ordine alla privacy. Questo nuovo ordine favorirà l'interazione tra l'utente e il contesto che lo circonda, generando una innovata e più completa esperienza (Bettiol, 2015). Nella Craft Pharmacy vengono rivalutate e aggiornate le conoscenze specialistiche del farmacista; l'Università si costituirà come Ente preposto alla formazione di queste specifiche figure professionali, che andranno a confrontarsi con esperti nell'ambito della produzione e della manifattura 3d.

This article concerns functioning of small and medium enterprises and in particular: craft ones. In the sector structured European Union, the abovementioned stand for 80–95% of the existing companies and moreover, they generate the biggest number of job positions and the national income. The article focuses on a selected part of SME sector: craft enterprises and especially, on financing their activities. This financing relates to both, financing craft businesses' investments and their current operations. In the first part of the text one presents a literary query concerning the definition of a craft enterprise and the resulting from its characteristic functioning: conception and tools for financing investments and current operations of craft enterprises. In the second part, one demonstrates the results of researches on the conception and the tools for financing craft enterprises functioning on the Polish market. In the summary of the article one demonstrates conclusions concerning the ways of maintenance and (in many cases innovative) changes of the conception and the tools for financing craft enterprises. The element congruous with the basic topic of the article relating to the current functioning of a craft enterprise in the real environment (both: inner and outer one), is its functioning in the digital surrounding (including with regard to the conception of financing activities), which correlates with the dynamic development of ICT technologies. The aforementioned development together with digitalization determines many aspects of craft enterprises' functioning; also the ones connected with financing tools and conceptions. Referring to the things stated, it is clear that ICT technologies should be taken into account in enterprise's current activities and in other aspects of its functioning e.g. communication, as well as eservices it provides and receives.

WIGs (Wing in Ground) are advanced hybrid air cushion crafts and they offer the combination of speed, fuel efficiency, and ride smoothness. WIG rides above the surface like an airplane on a dynamic air cushion that is produced by the vessel's forward motion. The adoption of WIG has been slow due to the complicated technology issues surrounding the vessel; it is a hybrid vehicle that combines marine and aviation theory, wing theory and air cushion theory, aerodynamic and hydrodynamic theory. "WIG Craft and Ekranoplan: Ground Effect Craft Technology" provides a comprehensive overview of the design, development and building of WIG vessels. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and illustrative applications, Liang Yun, Alan Bliault and Johnny Doo discuss: Basic principles of WIG craft technology State of the art overview of WIG craft technology in the United States, Russia, Germany, China and Australia Material and structural design of WIG craft Lift and propulsion systems of WIG craft WIG Craft and Ekranoplan: Ground Effect Craft Technology will be of interest to naval engineers, aviation engineers, naval architects, and mechanical engineers interested in the development and research of wing in ground (WIG) and high performance marine vehicles.
