Big Data Geospatial Processing for Massive Aerial LiDAR Datasets
Authors: Deibe David , Amor Margarita , Doallo Ramón
Published: February 2020

For years, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology has been considered as a challenge when it comes to developing efficient software to handle the extremely large volumes of data this surveying method is able to collect. In contexts such as this, big data technologies have been providing powerful solutions for distributed storage and computing. In this work, a big data approach on geospatial processing for massive aerial LiDAR point clouds is presented. By using Cassandra and Spark, our proposal is intended to support the execution of any kind of heavy time-consuming process; nonetheless, as an initial case of study, we have focused on fast ground-only rasters obtention to generate digital terrain models (DTMs) from massive LiDAR datasets. Filtered clouds obtained from the isolated processing of adjacent zones may exhibit errors located on the boundaries of the zones in the form of misclassified points. Usually, this type of error is corrected through manual or semi-automatic procedures. In this work, we also present an automated strategy for correcting errors of this type, improving the quality of the classification process and the DTMs obtained while minimizing user intervention. The autonomous nature of all computing stages, along with the low processing times achieved, opens the possibility of considering the system as a highly scalable service-oriented solution for on-demand DTM generation or any other geospatial process. Said solution would be a highly useful and unique service for many users in the LiDAR field, and one which could get near to real-time processing with appropriate computational resources.

Published: February 2020

Parameters of geomorphological characteristics are critical for research on yardangs. However, methods which are low-cost, accurate, and automatic or semi-automatic for extracting these parameters are limited. We present here semi-automatic techniques for this purpose. They are object-based image analysis (OBIA) and Canny edge detection (CED), using free, very high spatial resolution images from Google Earth. We chose yardang fields in Dunhuang of west China to test the methods. Our results showed that the extractions registered an overall accuracy of 92.26% with a Kappa coefficient of agreement of 0.82 at a segmentation scale of 52 using the OBIA method, and the exaction of yardangs had the highest accuracy at medium segmentation scales (138, 145). Using CED, we resampled the experimental image subset to a series of lower spatial resolutions for eliminating noise. The total length of yardang boundaries showed a logarithmically decreasing (R2 = 0.904) trend with decreasing spatial resolution, and there was also a linear relationship between yardang median widths and spatial resolutions (R2 = 0.95). Despite the difficulty of identifying shadows, the CED method achieved an overall accuracy of 89.23% with a kappa coefficient of agreement of 0.72, similar to that of the OBIA method at medium segmentation scale (138).
Advancing Learning Assignments in Remote Sensing of the Environment Through Simulation Games
Authors: Gerner Martin , Pause Marion
Published: February 2020

Environmental remote sensing has faced increasing satellite data availability, advanced algorithms for thematic analysis, and novel concepts of ground truth. For that reason, contents and concepts of learning and teaching remote sensing are constantly evolving. This eventually leads to the intuition of methodologically linking academic learning assignments with case-related scopes of application. In order to render case-related learning possible, smart teaching and interactive learning contexts are appreciated and required for remote sensing. That is due to the fact that those contexts are considered promising to trigger and gradually foster students’ comprehensive interdisciplinary thinking. To this end, the following contribution introduces the case-related concept of applying simulation games as a promising didactic format in teaching/learning assignments of remote sensing. As to methodology, participating students have been invited to take on individual roles bound to technology-related profiles (e.g., satellite-mission planning, irrigation, etc.) Based on the scenario, stakeholder teams have been requested to elaborate, analyze and negotiate viable solutions for soil moisture monitoring in a defined context. Collaboration has been encouraged by providing the protected, specifically designed remoSSoil-incubator environment. This letter-type paper aims to introduce the simulation game technique in the context of remote sensing as a type of scholarly teaching; it evaluates learning outcomes by adopting certain techniques of scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL); and it provides food for thought of replicating, adapting and enhancing simulation games as an innovative, disruptive next-generation learning environment in remote sensing.
The Study of Influence of Sound on Visual ERP-Based Brain Computer Interface
Authors: Xu Guizhi , Wu Yuwei , Li Mengfan
Published: February 2020

The performance of the event-related potential (ERP)-based brain–computer interface (BCI) declines when applying it into the real environment, which limits the generality of the BCI. The sound is a common noise in daily life, and whether it has influence on this decline is unknown. This study designs a visual-auditory BCI task that requires the subject to focus on the visual interface to output commands and simultaneously count number according to an auditory story. The story is played at three speeds to cause different workloads. Data collected under the same or different workloads are used to train and test classifiers. The results show that when the speed of playing the story increases, the amplitudes of P300 and N200 potentials decrease by 0.86 μV (p = 0.0239) and 0.69 μV (p = 0.0158) in occipital-parietal area, leading to a 5.95% decline (p = 0.0101) of accuracy and 9.53 bits/min decline (p = 0.0416) of information transfer rate. The classifier that is trained by the high workload data achieves higher accuracy than the one trained by the low workload if using the high workload data to test the performance. The result indicates that the sound could affect the visual ERP-BCI by increasing the workload. The large similarity of the training data and testing data is as important as the amplitudes of the ERP on obtaining high performance, which gives us an insight on how make to the ERP-BCI generalized.
The Influence of Heuristic judgments in Social Media on Corporate Reputation: A Study in Spanish Leader Companies
Authors: Cerdá Suárez Luis Manuel , Perán López Jesús , Cambronero Saiz Belén
Published: February 2020

From a corporate-side perspective, the communication of reputational actions and news of companies becomes critical for success. However, in communication, business, and management studies, heuristics can be understood as simple cognitive processes that allow assessments, predictions, and decisions to be made quickly and efficiently by consumers and economic agents. This aspect can sometimes lead to cognitive biases, especially when little information is available or in situations of high uncertainty. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of heuristic judgments in social media on corporate reputation ratings obtained in Spanish leader companies. Using data collected in Spain, this paper analyzes the influence of heuristics concerning news items on corporate reputation, measured by the Monitor Empresarial de Reputación Corporativa (MERCO) Index. The main finding of this paper is that the total number of news items has a positive effect on corporate reputation, particularly in the categories of culture-values, results/image, expansion, and sponsorship/donations. Additionally, this work serves as a repository of knowledge applicable to similar situations considering the specificities of each particular case. The importance to intervene on certain variables at different levels of managerial performance is described and implications for companies are discussed in these pages.

Authors: Lee Jenni Soo-Hee , McCole Dan , Holecek Don
Published: February 2020

Most of the pioneering studies related to wineries were conducted in famous wine regions, the results of which were not especially applicable to the small and emerging wineries in the United States. These wineries rely heavily on visitors’ on-site purchases; this highlights the importance of understanding winery visitors’ behaviors. This study explored the sequential relationships among winery visitors’ pre-trip characteristics (motivation, wine involvement), on-site experiences (perceived value), and post-trip evaluations (satisfaction, place attachment, winery loyalty). Intercepted winery visitors provided their e-mail addresses and were sent an online survey. Partial-least-squares structural equation modeling results showed that leisure-motivated and low wine-involved visitors perceive more diverse values in their winery experiences. Visitors’ perceived services, social benefits, and wine-quality values contributed to the positive post-trip evaluations. Winery owners stand to benefit from this research by being able to design winery experiences that are highly valued. Limitations are discussed and future research is suggested.
The Influence of Xenocentrism on Purchase Intentions of the Consumer: The Mediating Role of Product Attitudes
Authors: Camacho Luis J. , Salazar-Concha Cristian , Ramírez-Correa Patricio
Published: February 2020

Globally, xenocentrism has emerged as a significant concept to understand consumer behavior regarding local and foreign products. In this context and based on a sample of Colombian customers, this investigation aims to analyze both the direct and indirect effects of xenocentrism on the consumer purchase intentions of imported products through product attitudes and perceived product quality. Xenocentrism was measured using the XSCALE, and the research model was analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling. The result indicates that xenocentrism has a positive direct effect on purchase intentions, perceived product quality, and product attitudes. The analysis also shows that product attitudes will partially mediate the effect between xenocentrism and purchase intentions. In light of these findings, xenocentrism in Latin America arises as a solid construction to explain consumer behavior, mainly when individuals’ beliefs generate a positive appreciation of the purchase of imported products that compete in local markets. Moreover, these results permit designing sustainable marketing strategies that are more suited to the xenocentrism of Latin American consumers.
How Do Companies Collaborate for Circular Oriented Innovation?
Authors: Brown Phil , Bocken Nancy , Balkenende Ruud
Published: February 2020

Collaborative innovation is necessary to explore and implement circular economy strategies. Yet, empirical investigations into such collaborations are scarce. It is unclear whether the circular context creates differences or represents adaptions within how collaborative innovation is conducted. We draw upon strategic management and open innovation literature to highlight what is known about collaborative innovation and the types of innovation conducted. We use these insights to investigate explorative qualitative case research into how practitioners in the Netherlands have conducted collaborative circular oriented innovation. Our findings show that open innovation criteria can aid our understanding and analysis. Key managerial considerations relate to the incremental or systemic nature of the innovation pursued, which induce different collaborative projects and knowledge management structures. For incremental innovation, we observe phases of collaboration, whereas for more systemic innovation, we observe a more collaborative portfolio and layered approach. Furthermore, the more radical innovation pursuits that explore slowing or recovery strategies, especially beyond business-to-business arrangements, challenge companies. A crucial challenge remains related to how to develop and assess collaborative and system-oriented business models in the transition towards a circular economy. Finally, future research is needed to assess whether the current modes of collaborative innovation are sufficient to deliver a circular economy transition.
Fatalism, Climate Resiliency Training and Farmers’ Adaptation Responses: Implications for Sustainable Rainfed-Wheat Production in Pakistan
Authors: Mahmood Nasir , Arshad Muhammad , Kaechele Harald , Shahzad Muhammad Faisal , Ullah Ayat , Mueller Klaus
Published: February 2020

Climate change is a severe threat to the agricultural sector in general and to rainfed farming in particular. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors that can potentially affect the adaptation process against climate change. This study focused on wheat farmers and farming systems in the rainfed agroecological zone of Pakistan. Farmers’ data related to climate change fatalism, the availability of climate-specific extension services, socioeconomic and institutional variables, and farm characteristics were collected. A logit model to assess farmers’ decisions to adopt an adaptation measure and a multinomial logit model to assess their choice of various adaptation measures were used. The results showed that fatalistic farmers were unlikely to implement climate change adaptation measures. The variables related to the climate-specific extension services, including farmers’ participation in training on climate-resilient crop farming and the availability of mobile communication-based advisory services, had highly significant and positive impacts on farmers’ decisions and their choice of adaptation measures. Input market access and tractor ownership also had positive and significant impacts on farmers’ decisions to adapt and their choice of adaptation measures. This study highlights the need to improve rainfed-wheat farmers’ education levels to change their fatalistic attitudes towards climate change. Furthermore, government action is needed to provide climate-specific extension services to ensure sustainable production levels that will ultimately lead to food and livelihood security under a changing climate.

Authors: Yaprakdal Fatma , Yılmaz M. Berkay , Baysal Mustafa , Anvari-Moghaddam Amjad
Published: February 2020

The inherent variability of large-scale renewable energy generation leads to significant difficulties in microgrid energy management. Likewise, the effects of human behaviors in response to the changes in electricity tariffs as well as seasons result in changes in electricity consumption. Thus, proper scheduling and planning of power system operations require accurate load demand and renewable energy generation estimation studies, especially for short-term periods (hour-ahead, day-ahead). The time-sequence variation in aggregated electrical load and bulk photovoltaic power output are considered in this study to promote the supply-demand balance in the short-term optimal operational scheduling framework of a reconfigurable microgrid by integrating the forecasting results. A bi-directional long short-term memory units based deep recurrent neural network model, DRNN Bi-LSTM, is designed to provide accurate aggregated electrical load demand and the bulk photovoltaic power generation forecasting results. The real-world data set is utilized to test the proposed forecasting model, and based on the results, the DRNN Bi-LSTM model performs better in comparison with other methods in the surveyed literature. Meanwhile, the optimal operational scheduling framework is studied by simultaneously making a day-ahead optimal reconfiguration plan and optimal dispatching of controllable distributed generation units which are considered as optimal operation solutions. A combined approach of basic and selective particle swarm optimization methods, PSO&SPSO, is utilized for that combinatorial, non-linear, non-deterministic polynomial-time-hard (NP-hard), complex optimization study by aiming minimization of the aggregated real power losses of the microgrid subject to diverse equality and inequality constraints. A reconfigurable microgrid test system that includes photovoltaic power and diesel distributed generators is used for the optimal operational scheduling framework. As a whole, this study contributes to the optimal operational scheduling of reconfigurable microgrid with electrical energy demand and renewable energy forecasting by way of the developed DRNN Bi-LSTM model. The results indicate that optimal operational scheduling of reconfigurable microgrid with deep learning assisted approach could not only reduce real power losses but also improve system in an economic way.
The Optimum Performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Windows Under a Semi-Arid Climate in Algerian Office Buildings
Authors: Mesloub Abdelhakim , Albaqawy Ghazy Abdullah , Kandar Mohd Zin
Published: February 2020

Recently, Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) windows have become an alternative energy solution to achieve a zero-energy building (ZEB) and provide visual comfort. In Algeria, some problems arise due to the high energy consumption levels of the building sector. Large amounts of this energy are lost through the external envelope façade, because of the poorness of the window’s design. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the optimum BIPV window performance for overall energy consumption (OEC) in terms of energy output, heating and cooling load, and artificial lighting to ensure visual comfort and energy savings in typical office buildings under a semi-arid climate. Field measurements of the tested office were carried out during a critical period. The data have been validated and used to develop a model for an OEC simulation. Extensive simulations using graphical optimization methods are applied to the base-model, as well as nine commercially-available BIPV modules with different Window Wall Ratios (WWRs), cardinal orientations, and tilt angles. The results of the investigation from the site measurements show a significant amount of energy output compared to the energy demand. This study revealed that the optimum BIPV window design includes double-glazing PV modules (A) with medium WWR and 20% VLT in the southern façade and 30% VLT toward the east–west axis. The maximum energy savings that can be achieved are 60% toward the south orientation by double-glazing PV module (D). On the other hand, the PV modules significantly minimize the glare index compared to the base-model. The data extracted from the simulation established that the energy output percentages in a 3D model can be used by architects and designers in early stages. In the end, the adoption of optimum BIPV windows shows a significant enough improvement in their overall energy savings and visual comfort to consider them essential under a semi-arid climate.
Transformational Adaptation in Least Developed Countries: Does Expanded Stakeholder Participation Make a Difference?
Authors: Holler Joseph , Bernier Quinn , Roberts J. Timmons , Robinson Stacy-ann
Published: February 2020

Did the novel planning arrangements in the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) enable stakeholders to substantively influence adaptation planning? If so, does the observed influence have potential for more transformational adaptation? We inform these questions by reviewing and coding the first 50 NAPAs, prepared by the world’s poorest nations with support from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We then apply categorical statistics and qualitative comparative analysis to test for stakeholder influence on the planning process and outcomes. We find little evidence that the composition of stakeholder participation influenced climate vulnerability analysis or adaptation planning in the NAPAs. Although the NAPAs were designed to be participatory and country-driven, they were constrained by limited budgets, prescribed guidelines from the UNFCCC, and the challenges of cultivating effective stakeholder participation. Key aspects of NAPAs even worked against generating transformational adaptation. Chief amongst these, risk exposure and sensitivity were emphasized over adaptive capacity in assessing vulnerability, and cost- effectiveness and synergies with existing development and environmental policies were priorities for selecting adaptation actions. These barriers to effective stakeholder engagement and transformational adaptation are timely reminders for those countries currently in the process of preparing their National Adaptation Plans to the UNFCCC.
Public Environment Emotion Prediction Model Using LSTM Network
Authors: Zhang Qiang , Gao Tianze , Liu Xueyan , Zheng Yun
Published: February 2020

Public environmental sentiment has always played an important role in public social sentiment and has a certain degree of influence. Adopting a reasonable and effective public environmental sentiment prediction method for the government’s public attention in environmental management, promulgation of local policies, and hosting characteristics activities has important guiding significance. By using VAR (vector autoregressive), the public environmental sentiment level prediction is regarded as a time series prediction problem. This paper studies the development of a mobile “impression ecology” platform to collect time spans in five cities in Lanzhou for one year. In addition, a parameter optimization algorithm, WOA (Whale Optimization Algorithm), is introduced on the basis of the prediction method. It is expected to predict the public environmental sentiment more accurately while predicting the atmospheric environment. This paper compares the decision performance of LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) models on the public environment emotional level through experiments, and uses a variety of error assessment methods to quantitatively analyze the prediction results, verifying the LSTM’s performance in prediction performance and level decision-making effectiveness and robustness.
Linking Land Tenure and Integrated Watershed Management—A Review
Authors: Katusiime Juliet , Schütt Brigitta
Published: February 2020

Land tenure is given attention in the general discussions on conservation and management of natural resources, but the necessary holistic approach to understand the linkages is less considered. Thus, we considered a watershed as a unit of reference and Integrated Watershed Management as a holistic land and water resources management approach with various roles and touchpoints with land tenure issues. To examine the role of land tenure on the management of natural resources in watersheds, we reviewed and compiled literature that captures watershed issues, integrating aspects of land tenure, and aiming to identify the key land tenure roles, dynamics, and its influences on integrated watershed management. Land tenure is observed playing various roles in watersheds and, thus, also on integrated watershed management as an approach—as a driver of change, influence for investment decisions, an incentive for adoption of practices, and leading to sustainability. Land tenure dynamics range from land tenure security, land tenure forms, land access and acquisition modalities, and how these aspects of land tenure relate with integrated watershed management.

Inicialmente, se hará hincapié en la estandarización en la medición de pérdidas de gas, que es de gran importancia para obtener mediciones realistas y permitir la comparación de estudios realizados en diferentes lugares. Se debe dar una base metodológica para dar credibilidad a la medida. La "medición" de las pérdidas de gas en condiciones de campo en un medio sujeto a variaciones microclimáticas de humedad relativa, temperatura, lluvia y corrientes de aire requiere un instrumento bien conocido en sus limitaciones para medir la validación. A continuación se presenta una breve descripción del proceso de volatilización de amoníaco, enfocado principalmente en el manejo del fertilizante de urea (U) y los factores que afectan este proceso, para finalmente discutir los resultados del uso de inhibidores de ureasa (UI) en el control de pérdidas y su proyección hacia el futuro.

Published: February 2020

This journal presents research on improving product quality in a company. This study aims to identify the factors that cause disability in a product and propose follow-up solutions in order to improve the quality of a product. The method used in the study is the fishbone diagram and the Kipling method (5W + 1H) to improve product quality. The product under study is a yarn product manufactured in the second building of the company. There are 8 types of product defects that cause product quality to decline and are not suitable for sale, which can result in losses to the company, which are not good spools, dirty spools, yarn spools of different diameters, spools of cross yarn, spools of loose yarn, defective cones, incorrect cone types and the weight of the yarn is distorted. From all types of defects, the result shows that the most defects are in the category of bad roll defects of 31%, with the number of defective products of 215 spools of the total defective products of 716 spools. After conducting research, it was concluded that product defects occur due to lack of machine maintenance, mistakes from operators when installing the machine. If the company can reduce the occurrence of defects or damage to the yarn product, it will benefit a lot.
Modes de garde et inégalités sociales chez les enfants. Le volet espagnol de l’enquête HBSC
Authors: Garriga Anna , Bernardi Laura
Published: February 2020

L’augmentation récente du taux de divorce et de séparation chez les personnes les plus défavorisées ainsi que la hausse du nombre d’enfants qui vivent en garde partagée soulèvent la question de savoir de quelle façon ces évolutions affectent les inégalités sociales entre les enfants. Cet article contribue au débat en examinant le rôle modérateur du milieu socioéconomique des parents dans la relation entre santé et bien-être des enfants, et modes de garde. À partir du volet espagnol de l’enquête Health Behaviour in School-aged Children, les différentes hypothèses d’effet compensatoire et plancher sont évaluées, en dissociant les effets de l’éducation et de la profession du père et de la mère sur la qualité de vie des enfants, notamment les affections psychologiques et la satisfaction de la vie. Les résultats montrent que les conséquences de grandir dans une famille dite « non intacte » sont plus importantes pour les enfants défavorisés, et que les inégalités sociales de santé et de bien-être après une séparation persistent dans l’Espagne contemporaine.
New directions in cross-cultural well-being research
Authors: Aschauer Wolfgang
Published: February 2020

In this article, I attempt to give insights into the potentials and limits of quantitative well-being approaches. Starting with the main historical achievements, I present an overview of the development stages in quality of life research. I then focus on the potential new field of societal well-being, since theoretically driven and multidimensional concepts to measure perceptions of societal developments are still widely absent in well-being research. I give examples based on cross-national surveys of how to monitor societal well-being over time and how to test for equivalent indicators. As a last step, I focus on the limits of cross-cultural comparisons as the main methodological challenge in well-being research. Content validity is especially crucial to assess well-being in a culture-specific way, and several steps must be achieved to reach the goal of comparability. I end with the systematic question of how to potentially fulfil both quality criteria in cross-cultural research, i. e. content validity and equivalence.
Child subjective well-being studies. Some points for discussion
Authors: Bradshaw Jonathan
Published: February 2020

The justification for undertaking research on child subjective well-being has been challenged on three grounds : that it is a smokescreen diverting attention from more serious issues in childhood ; that the measures of subjective well-being available lack reliability and validity ; and that the results of the research have little or no policy relevance. Each of these challenges are considered drawing on national and comparative empirical research (with a partial focus on France) undertaken over the last ten years. It is acknowledged that there is some truth in all three arguments, nevertheless research on subjective well-being has a part in the study of all domains of child subjective well-being. Subjective well-being has been and continues to be measured over time and between countries successfully ; and there are examples of policy makers acting as a result of the findings.

São urgentes e necessárias a formação inicial e a formação continuada de professores(as) para trabalhar a educação sexual nas escolas, sobretudo num período de forte conservadorismo. Com base em pesquisas e extensão universitárias desenvolvidas no período de 1995 a 2013 sobre a formação continuadana área da educação sexual na Universidade de Londrina (UEL-PR), este texto pretende refletir sobre conquistas, superações e desafios interligados ao trabalho do(a) educador(a) e fornecer elementos que subsidiem a atuação dos(as) profissionais formadores(as). Entre algumas conquistas importantes paraa educadora que se dedica à educação sexual, podemos citar, por exemplo, o crescimento em sua visão pessoal a respeito da sexualidade, crescimento esse que pode refletir positivamente em sua vida sexual e a conquista de maior proximidade e amizade com seus alunos. Os desafios são vários e têm se acentuado devido à forte onda de conservadorismo. Um deles é a necessidade de superação da vergonha e do medo de falar sobre sexo. Concluímos que formadores(as) e educadores(as) necessitam conhecer os desafios e as alternativas que dão respaldo legal ao ensino da sexualidade nas escolas, para não se deixarem paralisar diante de ações repressoras feitas pelos inimigos da educação sexual. Necessitam, também, desenvolver o fortalecimento e a união dos profissionais que atuam nas escolas, começando pelo conhecimento do significado e do sentido da educação sexual planejada e intencional na vida de crianças, adolescentes e jovens.

Sekolah tidak lagi dilihat sebagai upaya untuk mencapai nilai-nilai yang mulia. Era ini juga menandai lahirnya era baru, dengan bantuan perkembangan teknologi informasi modern (internet) dan segala manfaatnya, juga melahirkan paradoks, munculnya generasi millenial, generasi yang serba internet, dan justru semakin mengikis sense of humanity, manusia yang didikte dan diarahkan oleh teknologi, manusia yang merasa paling tahu tentang segala hal, padahal hampir seluruh informasi didapat hanya melalui internet. Bahwa informasi itu valid atau hoax, itu urusan kesekian. Bagaimana paradigma studi Islam dengan berbagai kecenderungan yang ada, dalam menanggapi era ini. Tulisan ini ingin membahas paradigma studi Islam terutama di Perguruan Tinggi Agama Islam, dengan mempertimbangkan interkoneksitas tiga tradisi keilmuan Islam Ulum al-Diin, al-Fikr al-Islamiy dan Dirasat Islamiyyah, pemikiran M.

Chronic kidney disease is one of the leading co-morbidity at present. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension, more and more peoples are developing diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy. As chronic kidney disease patient can present as an asymptomatic stable patient in one end and a multi-organ involved complicated end-stage disease in other ends, their management plan also varies. The serum creatinine levels of as low as 1.5 mg% have been linked to perioperative major cardiac events like myocardial infarction and arrest; these patients poses a challenge to the perioperative team. Moreover, a chance of developing acute kidney injury on the chronic kidney disease is also higher. These patients are also often elderly, with diabetes mellitus and/or hypertension. Therefore, accepting such patient for perioperative care needs systematic and meticulous approach. Preoperative assessment, risk stratification, and optimization play a great role. Both intraoperative and postoperative management needs a tailored approach. The present narrative review is prepared to give the current insight on these aspects.

مورفولوجية مدينة القدس والستراتيجيات الأسرائيلية لتهويد المدينة
Authors: Ibrahim Muamal Alaaaldeen
Published: February 2020

عملت الدولة اليهودية بسرعة وفاعلية من أجل طمس ونفي الماضي العربي و الإسلامي لمدينة القدس وأعطائها

طابعا يهوديا ضمن مخططات ستراتيجية على المستوى الأقليمي والقدس الكبرى ومدينة القدس القديمة. ولم يضع

العرب أي مخطط لمواجهة المخطط الصهيوني و أغلب الدراسات والبحوث العربية التي عالجت الموضوع كانت

تاريخية وصفية إتسمت بالأنتقائية.  يتناول هذا البحث الأصول التخطيطية والمرجعيات العمرانية لمدينة القدس ومقارنتها مع مدن عربية إسلامية  أخرى بغية دحض الأدعاءات الصهيونية بمرجعية وأصول المدينة المقدسة أذ كشفت الدراسة وجود توافق واضح في  الخصائص المرفولوجية بين المدن العربية الأسلامية ومدينة القدس.

تناولت الدراسة الآثار السلبية الناجمة عن سياسة التهويد لمدينة القدس القديمة أذ بينت الدراسة أن بنية مدينة

القدس هي كيان كلي تتكون من أرتباط أجزائها ضمن نظام هيكلي شمولي، فالقواعد الموضعية وخصائص تكوين

الفضاء الموضعي بأرتباطاته يكون النظام الشمولي. فأي عزل لأي منطقة موضعية سوف يؤثر على النظام الشمولي،  وهذا ما بينته الدراسات.  تؤثر سياسة التهويد على الهيكل الشمولي وتضعف نويات التكامل للهيكل الفضائي مما يؤدي الى تداخلها مع  نويات العزل، الأمر الذي يفقد النسيج خصائصه التركيبية، ويدفع نواة الخيار القوية بعيدا عن الحرم لتنتشر على النظلم  الفضائي على شكل نويات خيار ضعيفة.
مقياس للتكامل في الأبنية

يقصد بالتكامل في هذا البحث تداخل وتقارب فضاءات المبنى وبعكسه: التفكك و يعني تباعد تلك الفضاءات. يعرف التكامل بأنه مجمو الجذور التربيعية لمساحات فضاءات . معين مقسوما - محيطه الخار

يتفق اغلب الباحثين بأن الشكل الأمثل للأبنية السكنية في المناطق الحارة الجافة هو الذي يمتلك اقل مساحة سطحية وان شكلا كهذا يمكن ان نطلق عليه انه اكثر تكاملا ولكن دون تحديد قيمته، اذ ان المقياس المتوفر للتكامل هو مقياس وصفي حيث تبرز اهمية وضع مقياس كمي لهذا المتغير وهو هدف هذا البحث.
أثر التغير التركيبي في الشكل المعماري على المتلقي مستقبلا
Authors: Ibrahim Muamal Alaa Aldeen
Published: February 2020

العمارة كاللغة هدفها إيصال المعنى، واذ لا يخرج أي معنى من انه منظومة، يصبح التغير فيه صفة ملازمة له

كواحدة من أهم صفات أي نظام... ومن ذلك تتغير العمارة بين فترة وأخرى ويتغير معناها.

يقترن أحداث تغير في العمارة بإعطاء دور للمتلقي في تأويلها، إذ يحاكي تغيرها القدرة الفكرية له عندما يفاجا

الذهن بعمارة غير معروفة خصائصها مسبقا، مما يجعل المتلقي مشاركا للمبدع في عملية الإبداع ويصل الى مرحلة

الإبداع في إبراكه للعمل. من ذلك مثلت دراسة أثر التغير في النظام على المتلقي مستقبلا المشكلة العامة للبحث، قلص نطاقها بالأفتصار على دراسة التغير في أحد أبعاد المعنى المطروح ضمن نظرية الدلالة المتمثل بالتغير التركيبي للنظام وأثره على دور المتلقي في الأستقبال لتمثل مشكلة البحث الخاصة. تناول البحث الدراسات المعمارية التي ناقشت موضوع العلاقة بين التغير التركيبي في النظام بدور المتلقي في الأستقبال إذ نوقشت على أساس دقة أدوات قيامها وشموليتها وموضوعيتها لمناقشة الموضوع، وإذ تبين قصورها معطيا تصورا غير واضحا عن الموضوع، تطلب من البحث القيام ببناء مقياس يعطي تصورا واضحا عنه.
تغير المعنى الوظيفي والجمالي في عمارة ما بعد الحدائة والتفكيكية

Published: February 2020

تناولت العديد من الدراسات معنى الوظيفة والجمال واساليب التغير المعتمدة لهما في العمارة المعاصرة. وهدفت

بعض الدراسأت الى كشف أسس تغيير العلاقات الشكلية المؤدية الى احداث تغير المعنى في العمارة المعاصرة، الا انها  لم توضح معنوية قيم التغير او فاعلية المفردات الشكلية المساهمة بهأ.  يهدف البحث الجاري الى الكشف عن معنوية قيم التغير بالمعنى الوظيفي والجمالي، والكشف عن فاعلية المفردات  الشكلية المساهمة في بناء الأسس الهيكلية لتغير المعنى الوظيفي والجمالي في عمارة ما بعد الحداثة والتفكيكية، مفترضا  تباين الأسس المعنوية والهيكلية لتغير المعنى الجمالي في عمارة ما بعد الحداثة والتفكيكية ويكون التباين اكثر وضوحا  في تغير المعنى الجمالي مقارنة بتغير المعنى الوظيفي في عمارة ما بعد الحداثة والتفكيكية.  ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة، اعتمد البحث شبه التجريبي أسلوب الدراسة التحليلية الوصفية، ووظف عينة مستجيبة

تضمنت نظرية الجشتالت والمجال ونظرية جان بياجيه ونظرية التحليل النفسي لفرويد ونظرية فيجوتسكي.

كما تعددت التوجهات الفلسفية لتفسير الألعاب المتمثلة بتوجه الحرية والتقليد لشيلر وتوجه فتجنشتين لالعاب

اللغة وتوجه جويو الذي يوضح موقف اللعب من الفن والجمال. استثمرت نظرية الالعاب في حقول معرفية متعددة منها المجالات الاقتصادية والاجتماعية ومجالاتالحرب والسياسة والاستراتيجيات العسكرية والحاسبة الالكترونية... وغيرها من الحقول المعرفية الاخرى، إلا ان استثمار تلك النظرية في الحقل المعماري لم ينل القدر الكافي من الاهتمام بسبب حداثته. يهدف البحث الحالي الى الكشف عن الانماط الاولية (Prototypes) لافكار ظاهرة اللعب في العملرة المعاصرة مفترضا تأثرها بالعوامل السلوكية والتنظيمية والسايكولوجية. ولتحقيق هدف البحث، وظفت

THE PHILOSOPHY OF DEVELOPING CULTURAL TOURISM IN NIGERIA: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Otegbulu Gabriel Chukwuebuka
Published: February 2020

The philosophy of cultural tourism rests on the premise that an understanding of past cultural activities informs the way of life of the present people, which offers intriguing attractions that tourists want to witness and participate in. This understanding has propelled man to travel to various parts of the world from the time of the Roman Empire; to gain insights into other people’s cultures with the view to enhancing development. In Nigeria, the impacts of philosophy and cultural tourism on national development have not been well discussed in development studies. Thus, there is a need to address the following questions: Are there cultural activities that could act as pull factors for developing cultural tourism? Why would tourists want to come to Nigeria? How would such visit contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 in Nigeria? In expanding this knowledge, a documentary approach based on a review of the literature was adopted. The authors seek to examine the philosophy behind cultural tourism.The authors attempt to analyse the SDGs as they affect cultural exchange, quality living, awareness creation about responsible consumption, education and personal fulfilment. The findings will help to synthesize the logic behind the propelling forces to visit a destination to witness or participate in cultural activities. The paper argues that understanding the philosophy of cultural tourism will go a long way to ensuring sustainable development in Nigeria.
