Authors: Lentes Pascal , Rudtke Jeremy , Griebenow Thomas , Herges Rainer
Published: June 2021

Novel nitrogen-bridged diazocines (triazocines) were synthesized that carry a formyl or an acetyl group at the CH2NR-bridge and bromo- or iodo-substituents at the distant phenyl ring. The photophysical properties were investigated in acetonitrile and water. As compared to previous approaches the yields of the intramolecular azo cyclizations were increased (from ≈40 to 60%) using an oxidative approach starting from the corresponding aniline precursors. The Z→E photoconversion yields in acetonitrile are 80–85% and the thermal half-lives of the metastable E configurations are 31–74 min. Particularly, the high photoconversion yields (≈70%) of the water-soluble diazocines are noteworthy, which makes them promising candidates for applications in photopharmacology. The halogen substituents allow further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions.

Published: June 2021

The production efficiency of labor on construction sites is an important factor for the success of projects. Skills, experience, and training are among the critical factors affecting labor productivity on construction sites. Especially in construction sites where a new construction technique is used, the teams' efficiency is affected by the learning processes. Laborers' unfamiliarity with the new technique can cause time delays and, accordingly, cost overruns. This research examines laborers' challenges in building an unfamiliar structure at construction sites through a case study. With a comprehensive literature review, interactions between laborers' learning process for new structures and construction time estimation were examined, and the case has been evaluated accordingly. It was observed that the time estimation could not be predicted during an unfamiliar construction form such as examined in the field study. This study is aimed to set an example for the construction sites where new productions take place.

Authors: Farghaly Yasser , Aly Hany Nermine , Moussa Yasmin
Published: June 2021

Educational settings are considered some of the most mentally depleting environments since they require high concentration, creativity, and efficiency. University campuses clearly portray these environments. Therefore, there is an immense need for campus settings where users can take outdoor breaks to restore and redirect their attention. Well-designed outdoor landscapes can have restorative effects on users, and in turn increase their concentration and overall productivity. This interdisciplinary research explores key literature on restorative concepts and visual preferences from the field of environmental psychology. It also examines the restorative campus landscape character from an urban design perspective. However, there are no coherent frameworks that correlate the three dimensions: restorative landscape design concepts, visual landscape preferences, and appropriate campus planning strategies. Therefore, the research summarizes the key literature findings, and merges the three parameters into a comprehensive assessment tool designed explicitly for university campuses. The paper concludes with a proposed tool (framework) that can provide guidelines to help landscape architects and planners to design restorative campus open spaces and recognize their insufficiencies.

Published: June 2021

Architects and designers are obligated to think comprehensively to create aesthetically pleasing buildings together with functional features. The modern movement of architecture represents a dramatic movement in the buildings design to create a different functional and new architecture. There is a debate about the priority of beauty (aesthetics) and functionality (ethics) in this architectural style and leads to ambiguity in evaluating ethics and aesthetics. Hence, the study aims to understand the relationship between ethics and aesthetics value in architecture's modern movement. This study hypothesizes that there is a significant relationship between ethical and aesthetical values through the functionality of modern architecture. The study has proposed a conceptual model to be applied in future studies on different case studies. This is through assessment tools to evaluate the presence of ethics and aesthetics in modern architectural style.

Published: June 2021

Understanding the needs and expectations of the intended users of a designed environment is recognized as one of the essential factors that influence the decision-making process in an interior design project. This situation is also reflected in interior design education, where students conventionally design for hypothetical clients and users. This study explores the contribution of a new user-focused and scenario-based design studio modal to students’ approach to successive stages of design processes, learning outcomes, and engagement to the project course during an online education period. Within the scope of the study, second-year interior design students were assigned to real artists and product designers as clients for a workshop for creative production- showroom project. The students had to communicate with their clients, do research and integrate the information they have collected into their design proposals. The paper concludes with an evaluation of the proposed model from students’ view. It is believed that the approach proposed and applied within the scope of the study has the potential to present a different perspective in interior design studio courses.

Authors: Şen Emine , Ashrafian Touraj
Published: June 2021

With the increment in time spent indoors, the contingence between building occupants and indoor air pollution has been lengthened. Accordingly, indoor air quality became a significant factor since the poor conditions can influence the occupants’ health and efficiency. Indoor air quality is mainly concerned with physical and thermophysical factors in conditioned environments and is related to occupants’ satisfaction levels on a variety of variables such as fresh air adequacy, air temperature, odor, humidity, and air velocity. This paper aims to investigate natural ventilation occupant-control methods to improve indoor air quality and increase building energy efficiency considering clean air intake levels and indoor air temperature levels. For this, variables related to climatic conditions, ventilation systems, and occupant’s control on window opening were investigated to provide healthy and liveable conditions. To comply with these goals, in an open-plan office building, the levels of indoor air quality were determined with the help of DesignBuilder simulation by comparing obtained values under different case modeling variations.

Authors: Aydın Elif , Dikçınar Sel Berna
Published: June 2021

The constant change of the meaning of the physical environment for the individual and society during the experience of space in daily life detract the spatial perception from cultural values. The formation of valuable / important perception regarding the physical space elements that are disconnected from the interaction of space, society and culture causes place attachment status to change and negatively affects the preservation of cultural heritage values. In other words, it increases the problem of preserving cultural heritage values by losing the meaning of cultural values that are a part of the physical environment in the relationship between space and society. In this context, in Beşiktaş, which has been settled for many years and has traces of different cultures, as a result of the differentiation of the relationship between the space and the individual due to technological and economic developments, the interaction with cultural values is gradually decreasing during the experience of space. In this study, using the questionnaire method, the status of place attachment is examined through interviews with daily users of Beşiktaş by using open-ended and 5-likert scale questions. The aim of the research is to analyze the cultural heritage values  between society and space in Beşiktaş.

Authors: Ho Anh Binh
Published: June 2021

Background: A pre-clinical sign of atherosclerisis is hypertrophy of arterial wall. F.IMT (Femoral intima-media thickness) is non-invasive marker of arterial wall alteration, which can easily be assessed by high resolusion B mode ultrasound. We aim to investigate the correlation between femoral intima-media thickness (F.IMT) and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: 111 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were enrolled. Femoral IMT (F.IMT) was assessed by B mode ultrasound with 7.5 - 10 MHz probe about 10 -15 mm before bifurcation to profond and superficial femoral arteries. The F.IMT < 1.0 mm is named as “normal”, F.IMT ≥ 1.0 mm and < 1.5 mm is “thick” and ≥1.5 mm is defined as “atherosclerosic femoral plaque”. The severity of CADs was calculated by Gensini Score.

Results: Mean F.IMT is 1.57 ± 1.23 mm, 55% patients with abnormal F.IMT (male 57.0% và female 50.0%), 36.9% of patients with CAD have atherosclerosic femoral plaque. There is a good correlation between F.IMT and severity of CAD by Gensini score and its risk factors (age, plasma glucose, smoking, hypertension…)

Conclusion: Hospitalised patients with CAD are likely to have concomittant PAD with high frequency of femoral artery wall changes. F.IMT could be a helpful diagnostic marker and therapeutic points.

L’importance du monétarisme au sein de l’histoire de la pensée économique, notamment depuis l’attribution du prix Nobel de sciences économiques à Milton Friedman en 1976 n’est plus à démontrer, mais la question de son influence au sein des institutions économiques reste irrésolue. La littérature secondaire affirme que la Réserve fédérale a mis en œuvre une politique monétaire à partir de 1979. Cependant, selon Friedman [1984], “Though the Federal Reserve System’s rhetoric was “monetarist” the actual policy that it followed was antimonetarist”. Dans cet article, nous proposons une nouvelle interprétation à la lumière d’une analyse de données, mais également en utilisant les témoignages de Paul Volcker et en étudiant les archives de la Réserve fédérale. Nous affirmons que l’influence du monétarisme au sein de la Réserve fédérale a eu une double nature et que la politique mise en œuvre par celle-ci était clairement monétariste, mais que l’échec de cette expérience explique le fait que les monétaristes n’ont jamais considéré que leurs idées ont été appliquées.
3. A Note on John Dales and the Early History of Emissions Trading: Mixing Standards and Markets for Rights
Authors: Berta Nathalie
Published: June 2021

Cet article s’intéresse à l’histoire des marchés de permis d’émission à la fin des années 1960. Il montre tout d’abord que bien que les travaux de John Dales et Thomas Crocker soient rarement distingués dans la littérature, ils sont assez différents et ne proposent pas le même type de marché différents. Dales, très critique par rapport à la quête de solutions optimales, souhaite que le niveau d’émission soit déterminé politiquement plutôt qu’économiquement. Si sa proposition est aujourd’hui utilisée largement dans la lutte contre les pluies acides ou le réchauffement climatique, la réception de cette idée chez les économistes de l’environnement à l’époque fut très prudente, même chez ceux qui promouvaient par ailleurs l’usage d’incitations dans le contrôle de la pollution.

4. The Contested Conceptualisation of Pollution in Economics: Market Failure or Cost Shifting Success?
Authors: Spash Clive L.
Published: June 2021

Aujourd’hui, l’économie de l’environnement est la réponse de la théorie économique néoclassique à la crise écologique. Pourtant, à une époque, ses principaux contributeurs la considéraient comme une avancée révolutionnaire qui allait changer la conduite et le contenu de l’économie en tant que discipline. La compréhension et la lutte contre la pollution de l’environnement étaient au cœur de ce changement de paradigme potentiel. En retraçant l’histoire de la conceptualisation de la pollution en la considérant comme une externalité et une défaillance du marché, ce papier met en lumière le développement des idées de Marshall, Pigou, Pareto, Coase, Stigler, Samuelson, Ciciacy-Wantrup et Kapp. Il montre que la théorie de l’externalité de la pollution a intégré une éthique élitiste et une idéologie libérale du marché. En tant que défaillance du marché, la pollution a été considérée comme une erreur mineure corrigeable du système de prix. L’évaluation monétaire des dommages sociaux et environnementaux est devenue le moyen de justifier les niveaux optimaux de pollution. Les théories néolibérales de la diffusion des droits de propriété ont encore édulcoré les aspects interventionnistes potentiels. Le réalisme biophysique, dans les travaux de Kneese, Ayres et d’Arge, et le réalisme social dans la théorie du déplacement des coûts de Kapp ont été perdus dès lors que l’économie de l’environnement a adopté un formalisme mathématique déductiviste. La théorie alternative de Kapp est basée sur une compréhension économique classique des institutionnalistes du transfert des coûts et des relations de pouvoir. Elle préconise une réponse de politique publique sous la forme de minima sociaux objectifs obtenus par la réglementation et la planification. Cette théorie a jusqu’à présent été utilisée avec succès pour empêcher un éventuel changement de paradigme révolutionnaire dans la théorie économique des prix.

8. Éthique et bioéconomie chez Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen
Authors: Ferrari Sylvie
Published: June 2021

Cette contribution vise à analyser les réflexions éthiques qui portent l’approche bioéconomique développée par N. Georgescu-Roegen. L’étude de la bioéconomie à travers ses dimensions physique et biologique nous conduit à appréhender la manière dont le rapport à la nature se construit chez l’auteur et les implications qu’il en tire pour une conduite des activités humaines respectueuse de la biosphère. La conception éthique qui entoure la bioéconomie, et que nous qualifions d’éthique bioéconomique, est ensuite discutée au regard des travaux philosophiques relevant du champ de l’éthique environnementale contemporaine. Cette mise en perspective permet d’envisager dans quelle mesure les questionnements soulevés par N. Georgescu-Roegen ont préfiguré ceux auxquels nous expose aujourd’hui l’ère de l’Anthropocène.

Vers une distinction conceptuelle entre « ennemi » et « adversaire » en démocratie
Authors: Rouby Éric
Published: June 2021

Malgré l’intérêt de la thématique et de nombreuses contributions, les concepts d’« ennemi » et d’« adversaire » restent flous, et ce particulièrement au sein du cadre démocratique. L’objectif de cette contribution est d’identifier et de qualifier la distinction entre ces deux notions en cherchant dans le discours des élites politiques leurs caractéristiques respectives. Pour parvenir à cela, nous identifions différents « théâtres d’opposition » sur lesquels sont placés « ennemis et adversaires » (entre opposition, compétition, conflit et guerre). Cette contribution apporte également une caractérisation fondamentale de l’« ennemi » sous la forme d’une « perception de domination illégitime ». Enfin, la dernière partie de l’article propose une identification des différents processus de délégitimation de l’adversaire en démocratie (politique, juridique et moral), le transformant en « ennemi »
Les experts biélorusses au Conseil de l’Europe
Authors: Bigday Maria , Kryzhanouski Yauheni
Published: June 2021

En mobilisant l’exemple de deux types de situations qui font participer les experts biélorusses au travail du Conseil de l’Europe, l’article pose la question des usages de l’expertise. À travers l’analyse de l’évolution du profil socio-professionnel des experts et l’observation des situations d’expertise, le caractère hétérogène et multiple de ces usages est souligné. L’expertise ne sert pas uniquement, pour l’organisation internationale, de source d’information (l’expertise pourvoyeuse de « ressources »), mais aussi d’instrument d’influence dans un État non-membre (à travers des experts collaborateurs) et d’outil de communication complétant les canaux diplomatiques officiels (experts para-diplomates).
Explicitation et vidéo : les ressources de l’articulation des points de vue en première et troisième personne
Authors: Mouchet Alain , Turon David
Published: June 2021

Nous montrons l’intérêt de l’articulation des points de vue en première personne et en troisième personne, pour rendre intelligible l’activité dans ses dimensions privées et publiques. Cette combinaison entre entretien d’explicitation et vidéo constitue une ressource en recherche et en formation. Nous soulignons d’abord l’ancrage épistémologique sous-jacent à cette articulation entre des données subjectives ou expérientielles, obtenues par l’explicitation du vécu a posteriori , et des données observables et traces de l’activité, obtenues d’un point de vue extérieur, notamment par la vidéo. Puis, nous mettons en valeur cette démarche au niveau méthodologique, en soulignant les principes et les modes d’articulation, et nous poursuivons en illustrant par des données empiriques sur les communications entraîneur/joueurs. La discussion permet de mettre en avant les débats relatifs à la validation scientifique et l’usage possible en formation.

PURPOSE:

To evaluate an automated method for detecting the cone shape characteristics and to assess the cornea specialists' subjective variability of these measures using different maps.

METHODS:

Topographic images of the anterior and posterior surface of each eye were presented to 12 clinicians in two different types of map: tangential curvature and relative elevation to the best-fit sphere. They were asked to mark the cone center and its boundaries in the two maps without knowing that they belonged to the same patient. The results between the maps were compared to assess the subjective variability dependent on the map type and the automated method was compared against both estimations to assess its accuracy.

RESULTS:

Considering the results of anterior and posterior surfaces, there was low agreement between the cone center estimations using different types of maps for 10 of the 12 cases (
P
< .05), whereas the comparison between the automated method and the two map estimations did not show differences in 11 of the 12 cases (
P
> .05). There was high variability, up to 55%, among clinicians' estimations of the cone area. The results of the automated method were within the range of the expert's estimations.

CONCLUSIONS:

An objective, mathematically derived method of determining morphological dimensions of the cone was consistent with clinicians' evaluations. Although there was high variability among the experts' subjective estimates, which were highly influenced by the type of map, the objective method provided a reliable evaluation of the keratoconus shape independent of maps or color scale.
