A boundary is a mark that separates adjacent geographical areas and serves as a separator for the authority to manage government administration between regions and can be found on land and sea areas. Various regulations have been made by the Indonesian government to regulate regional boundaries including maritime boundaries, including Permendagri No. 76/2012 which was later amended to Permendagri No. 141/2017. This change is motivated by the fact that Permendagri No. 76/2012 is considered not in accordance with the development of the situation, so it needs to be replaced with a new ministerial regulation. One of the differences in the two Ministerial Regulations is the difference in vertical datum or height reference at the base point used as a reference for drawing the shoreline. According to Permendagri No. 76/2012, the shoreline drawing reference uses the lowest low tide level, while Permendagri No. 141/2017 uses a reference at the highest tide level. This research aims to determine the effect of vertical datum on shoreline changes in the affirmation of marine boundaries through literature study and spatial analysis. The results of this study indicate that changes in vertical datum have an influence on shoreline shifts which are also influenced by the slope of the coastal slope, shoreline shifts that drift towards the mainland cause a reduction in the area and management of regional seas.Keywords:  Analysis, Maritime Boundary, Regional Boundary, Slope, Vertical Datum

The city of Bandung is one of the cities that is prone to earthquakes because it is passed by the Lembang fault. Therefore, buildings in the city of Bandung should have implemented the concept of earthquake-resistant buildings in their construction. To avoid the occurrence of damage or collapse of the structure of the building against an earthquake, it is necessary to analyze the building against the earthquake. This study aims to determine how many deviations occur in the building due to the earthquake and the performance of the building structure. The method used is the response spectrum and time history analysis method and then evaluates the performance of the structure against earthquakes using the ATC-40 standard. The building that is the case study is the Directorate of Drugs and the Directorate of Intelligence and Security for the West Java Police, which consists of 5 floors. Structural modeling and analysis were performed using ETABS v20. Earthquake records used are Imperial Valley, Kobe and Trinidad earthquakes. Based on the results of the analysis of the maximum deviation with the response spectrum method 26.74 mm in the X direction and 26.46 mm in the Y direction. Meanwhile, for the time history analysis, it was obtained 33.05 mm in the X direction and 28.96 in the Y direction. The maximum value of the total deviation obtained 0.0016 m and the maximum value of inelastic deviation obtained 0.0014 m so that it shows the level of performance of this building structure based on ATC-40 is Immediate Occupancy (IO), which means the structure is in a safe condition.Keywords : ATC-40, earthquake resistant buildings, spectrum response, time history,
ANALISIS PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN KULIT KERANG SEBAGAI FILLER PADA CAMPURAN AC-WC UNTUK DESAIN PERANCANGAN RUNWAY
Authors: Sadikin Deni Ahmad , Akbardin Juang , Sekaryadi Yudi
Published: March 2024

In the AC-WC mixture, the filler is the material that significantly influences the characteristics and quality of the asphalt concrete mixture. Fillers can come from environmentally friendly materials. One material that is often found is shell waste. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive. Based on research conducted, the shells used to meet the requirements as filler with a percentage of passing sieve no. 200 was 75.12% and the gradation composition of the mixture for AC-WC was 2% for shell filler, 50% for stone ash, 33% for screening, and 15% for the split. Meanwhile, the asphalt used in the AC-WC mixture is PG 76 Asphalt. Based on the test results, it was found that the characteristics of PG 76 asphalt were not too flexible and tended to be stiff, resistant to hot temperatures, and had homogeneous properties. In testing the AC-WC mixture, Marshall’s results obtained an optimum asphalt content of 6.3% with a stability value of 2877 kg and a flow value of 2,716 mm. This shows that the use of shell filler can increase the stability value of the mixture, however, a high stability value accompanied by low flow indicates that the mixture has a stiff pavement and will be brittle. Meanwhile, for the runway pavement thickness design at Nusawiru Airport using the FAA method and FAARFIELD software, a total thickness of 14 inches was obtained with details of a Surface Course thickness of 4 inches, a Base Course thickness of 6 inches, and a Subbase Course thickness of 4 inches.
Can Acceptance of Urban Shrinkage Shift Planning Strategies of Shrinking Cities From Growth to De-Growth?
Authors: Marjanović Marjan , Sagot Better Marcelo , Lero Nikola , Nedović-Budić Zorica
Published: March 2024

Shrinking cities scholars claim that planning actors in the cities where shrinking is accepted are more likely to change the focus of planning strategy from pursuing growth to actively planning for de-growth. Considering this argument, this article investigates to what extent planning actors in shrinking cities seek solutions outside the dominant growth paradigm if they accept the reality of shrinkage. This is accomplished by examining the comprehensive plans of 18 shrinking cities in the Rust Belt area of the US and establishing relations between the interpretations of urban decline expressed in these planning documents and the resulting planning visions and strategies. The findings demonstrate that although planning actors in most analysed cases accepted urban shrinkage as a reality and adopted a vision of a smaller future city, they mainly devised strategies that facilitate growth. This suggests that urban planning may be far less impacted by specific interpretations of shrinkage, including acceptance, than what is popularly believed to be the case. Instead, growth remains a focal point of most planning efforts in shrinking cities, even when planning actors acknowledge it may not be realistically attainable.
Spatial Appropriations Over Europe’s Borderland: El Principe’s Growth as a Vestige of Colonial Urbanism
Authors: Agundez Mari Paz
Published: March 2024

My work investigates the spatial transformations generated by conflicting competencies in the border city of Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the northernmost tip of Morocco. Due to its strategic location, Ceuta became the gateway to the Spanish Protectorate over Morocco. Its implemented masterplan was rooted in the colonial urbanizing strategy of social segregation; yet failed to encompass the entirety of the territory, rendering the border area a site for informal urban settlements. Spain’s 1986 accession to the EU granted the exclave a new role as an icon of Fortress Europe, hindering migration movements toward mainland Europe and, due to the municipality’s neglect of the multifarious stranded migrant groups, settlements ballooned into districts along the border checkpoints. This article investigates the spatial conflicts generated by the border and how these, in turn, shape the borderland. It examines how supra-national actors manipulate urban planning to establish dominance, ostracizing the border region, and studies whether migrants’ spatial practices can effectively disrupt their socio-spatial segregation. Focusing on the border district of El Principe, a twofold methodology is followed: A top-down perspective is built through mapping, examining historical masterplans, policy analysis, and interviews, and a bottom-up stance is included, grounded on participant observation and semi-structured interviews, revealing migrants’ spatial appropriation tactics.
Totalitarian Flower Pavilion: The Dubious Post-Socialist Legacy of Contemporary Eastern European Cities
Authors: Drozda Łukasz
Published: March 2024

More than three decades after the collapse of state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, local urban processes are still very often associated with that historic period or post-socialist transformation. This article aims to undermine the concept of the post-socialist city itself as reductionist, given the crucial importance of factors that differ from the influence of the pre-1989/91 times. The article confronts the discussion on the applicability of the post-socialist framework with field research conducted in selected Polish and Ukrainian cities, in particular the examples of the Kvity Ukrainy (Flowers of Ukraine) protest movement in Kyiv, Ukraine, and the 2003 spatial planning reform’s results in Krakow, Poland. The analysis is based on interviews with representatives of different actors involved in the policymaking process, such as local government representatives, policy advisors, urban planners, journalists, business circles, and members of grassroots initiatives.
Effects and Consequences of Authoritarian Urbanism: Large-Scale Waterfront Redevelopments in Belgrade, Zagreb, and Novi Sad
Authors: Čamprag Nebojša
Published: March 2024

This article highlights the (post) transitioning urban context as an emerging market for powerful international real-estate development companies, supported by an authoritarian planning trend aiming to secure foreign investments. Such a pattern is particularly noticeable in the implementation of the large-scale redevelopment project Belgrade Waterfront in the Serbian capital city, causing many controversies due to state-led regulatory interventions, investor-friendly decision-making, and a general lack of transparency. Although proactive but fragile civil society organizations in Serbia failed to influence the implementation dynamics of this megaproject, it inspired contestation by professional and civic organizations elsewhere, which finally led to significant disputes over similar developments. This study highlights similarities of this project to the initiatives emerging in other cities of the ex-Yugoslav countries: Zagreb Manhattan, announced to settle on the waterfronts of the Croatian capital, and more recently the Novi Sad Waterfront in the second largest Serbian city. The article concludes with a general overview of the effects and consequences characterizing the emerging trend in the production of space and highlights the rising role of the civil sector in more inclusive and democratic urban planning in ex-Yugoslav cities.
Immune cell balance as potential biomarker of progressing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Topchieva Ludmila  V. , Kurbatova Irina  V. , Dudanova Olga  P. , Vasileva Alina  V. , Zhulai Galina  A.
Published: March 2024

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a widespread chronic, slowly progressive metabolic multifactorial disease. It is represented by several clinical and morphological forms: steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (with or without fibrosis), and liver cirrhosis. The search for minimally invasive and cost-effective biomarkers of NAFLD is a key task in the diagnosis, staging of progression, and long-term monitoring of NAFLD. This article discusses the possibility of using immune cell balance as potential minimally invasive peripheral markers of NAFLD progression. In the progression of NASH from steatosis to fibrosis and cirrhosis, inflammation plays an important role because of the activation of Kupffer cells and increased migration of monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and activated T lymphocytes into the tissues. Macrophages originating from monocytes, with NASH progression, gradually begin to prevail over the pool of resident macrophages. The risk of NASH and fibrosis development in patients with NAFLD increases with the ratio of neutrophils/lymphocytes in the liver. An increase in the Th17 cell count and a decrease in T-regulatory cell count can contribute to increased hepatic steatosis and inflammation development in NAFLD and accelerate the transition from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Information on the participation of noncoding RNAs in the regulation of the balance of immune cells in NAFLD is presented, which also allows us to consider them as additional, along with cellular, markers of disease progression.

Historia del desarrollo, características y tendencia de la educación china en Rumania
Authors: Ruihong Cao , Bălan Luminița , Jialei Zhou
Published: March 2024

A lo largo de sesenta años de desarrollo, la historia de la educación china en Rumania ha experimentado, aproximadamente, cuatro etapas: la etapa embrionaria (antes de 1956), la de desarrollo lento (1956-2005), la de desarrollo rápido (2006-2016) y la etapa de desarrollo en profundidad (desde 2017). Basado en la revisión de su historia de desarrollo, este documento proporciona información importante sobre los eventos, instituciones, sinólogos, libros de texto y monografías más importantes en relación a la educación china a lo largo de estos diferentes períodos. Desde una perspectiva diacrónica, la investigación sinológica en Rumanía, por un lado, y los servicios lingüísticos y el apoyo político de China, por el otro, son dos factores cruciales que han contribuido al desarrollo de la enseñanza del idioma chino en Rumanía. Desde una perspectiva sincrónica, la educación rumana china ha construido un sistema completo de formación de talentos para estudiantes de pregrado, maestría y doctorado. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de varias universidades es desigual; el Instituto Confucio es la fuerza líder en educación china en escuelas primarias y secundarias. Los estudiantes de chino son de diferentes edades y la tendencia de evolución se centra en los jóvenes. La tendencia de desarrollo de la educación china en la nueva era debe centrarse en la localización.
The influence of the menstrual cycle on the practice of physical exercise: narrative review
Authors: de Assis Arantes Francielle , Costa Moreira Osvaldo , Saar Sequeto Gleiverson , Patrocínio de Oliveira Claudia Eliza
Published: March 2024

Introduction: The menstrual cycle (MC) is the second most important biological rhythm, regulated by the hypothalamicpituitary-ovarian axis and all the hormones involved in it. In addition to reproductive functions, it is speculated that changes in hormone production during different phases of the menstrual cycle may influence other physiological systems, which may have an impact on women’s physical performance. In this way, studying the influences of the menstrual cycle on physical exercises gains importance, since little is said about the organization of strategies and intervention for the performance of physical exercises that take into account the possible impacts and changes caused by the MC. Objective: To review the influence of MC in the practice of aerobic and resistance exercises. Material and method: The search for articles was carried out in the databases: PubMed and Google Scholar, from August to September 2021, without restriction on date and type of publication, and all articles in English and Portuguese were considered. The research was based on the phases of the menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic young women, who may or may not be athletes, but without known dysfunctions of the menstrual cycle. Conclusions: Hormonal fluctuations during MC may not significantly and directly affect the cardiorespiratory or musculoskeletal system during physical exercise, as there is the question of the biological individuality of each woman, as well as the relationship with the self-reported symptoms.

Published: March 2024

Los barrios marginales representan una perenne ofensa visual en América Latina y el Caribe. Existe un mayor número de personas que moran en viviendas en pésimo estado en esta región que en otros países con el mismo nivel de ingresos. La mayoría de los hogares que viven en las capitales de la región no puede costear una vivienda legalmente construida en un terreno que cuente con acceso a los servicios básicos de infraestructura tales como agua y servicios sanitarios. La región tendría que invertir una suma superior a los $300 millardos, o casi el 8 por ciento de su producto interno bruto, para proporcionar una vivienda adecuada para todos sus ciudadanos. Los Gobiernos por sí solos no pueden solucionar este problema, particularmente si continúan enfocándose en tratar los síntomas en lugar de abordar la causa raíz. Esta última edición de la publicación insignia del BID, Desarrollo en las Américas, ofrece un análisis de fondo de las oportunidades que tienen los países para mejorar sus mercados inmobiliarios urbanos y facilitar la vía hacia soluciones que involucren al sector privado.

Part I reports on OVE's recent evaluation activities and findings, on developments in the Bank's evaluation "architecture" (including management self-evaluations and OVE validations) during the year, and on management's progress in implementing agreed-upon recommendations from previous OVE evaluations. Part II highlights a special topic, seeking to put OVE's work in a broader perspective by bringing new analysis and linking OVE's evaluation work to major themes of importance to development effectiveness. This year's themes are the Bank's core objectives of growth and poverty reduction, as specified in the Agreement for IDB¿s 9th General Capital Increase in 2010. These themes continue to be relevant for the next IDB institutional strategy, which is currently under preparation.

Authors:   Inter American Development Bank
Published: March 2024

The country with most entries was Colombia, totaling 70 coming from all parts of the country, and surpassing Argentina (in second place with 24), and others that have traditionally dominated the event, at least numerically, such as Mexico and Brazil (this year with 15 and 11 respectively). The explanation for this phenomenon may be found in the fact that Colombia is the country that in the last two years has shown the most interest in the Biennial¿s exhibit circuit, adding fi ve more venues in cities such as Santa Marta, Cali, and Medellin, in addition to Bogota where the Biennial is part of the International Film Festival, and Cartagena. It also has to do with the accessibility of technology, and the commercial possibilities of the creative technologies developed in that nation in recent years.
