Published: May 2023

Urban sprawl is a phenomenon with a negative effect which, over time, consumes the living environment . The aim of this research is to analyze and evaluate the urban sprawl of Annaba situated at the northeastern part of Algeria in a diachronic approach. The studied area contains twelve agglomerations. Through the supervised classification of a time series of data provided by multi spectral sensors mounted on LANDSAT 8 Operati onal Land Imager (OLI), LANDSAT 7 Thematic Mapper Plus satellite platforms (ETM +) and L ANDSAT 45 Thematic Mapper (TM) the urban sprawl was examined in different periods of 1987, 2013 and 2017, on different scales. This study displayed that a retrospective understanding of the timing and magnitude of Annaba sprawl in a spatio temporal dimension allows updating the phenomenon to better manage it in the future on either macro or micro scale as a decision support tool.

Published: May 2023

This article deals with the numerical simulation of a two-dimensional instantaneous heat and mass transfer processes within a commonly used intermetallic compound (a.k.a. Mischmetal) packed in a unit disc of an annulus-disc reactors, during hydrogen gas desorption. Using the finite volumes technique bundled in the OpenFOAM® CFD code, temperature and amount of desorbed hydrogen and their time-averaged quantities inside the metal-hydride packed bed are obtained for various temperatures of fluids used in heat transfer, and several outlet pressure magnitudes. Using a set of numerical simulations, we have emphasized the impacts of both parameters on metal-hydride reactor performance related to discharging time. An excellent accord was recorded for the present simulations results compared against the literature-reported experimental data [20].
Effect of sewage sludge on soil fertility and on the nutritional quality of durum wheat (Triticum durum, waha variety)
Authors: Boudjabi S.
Published: May 2023

In aims to assess the effect of increasing doses of sludge on the nutritional quality of the durum wheat and on soil fertility. An experiment was carried out in a green house in Faculty of Exact Sciences and Natural and Life Sciences at the University of Tébessa. Four levels of sewage sludge (control = 0 g of sludge/pot; B1 = 120 g of sludge/pot, B2 = 300 g of sludge /pot, B3 = 600gof sludge/pot) were brought into plastic pots; each dose is reproduced in three repetitions. The results revealed significant increase in the humidity of the wheat seed which amended by the sludge. Plants treated with sludge accumulate more ash, nitrogen and fatty acidity compared to control plants. The sewage sludge improves soil fertility; the results have shown an increase in organic matter, nitrates and phosphorus. In addition, the electrical conductivity reveals a strong accumulation of salts in the pots amended by the sewage sludge in comparison with the control.

Authors: Benregga F. Z. , Maghchiche A. , Nasri R. , Jraba A .
Published: May 2023

The date industry currently produces thousands of millions of metric tons of waste per year. Hence, there is an urgent need to find suitable applications for this waste which are still largely unused. The aim of this research is to value date waste and its potential application for water treatment. Three types of activated charcoal were prepared from the seeds of dates. Different essays were done for each material prepared (moisture rate and ash, pH, concentration, mass, granulometry). The Materials obtained were characterized by different methods like FTIR and BET. The results obtained indicate that the materials prepared from date seeds are low-cost activated carbon with an effective surface similar to commercial activated carbon which has an important economic advantage through the valuation of these wastes.
Influence of absorber layer gradual gap profile on Cu2ZnSn(S1-Y SeY )4 solar cell efficiency: Numerical study
Authors: Messei N.
Published: May 2023

The gradual substitution of sulfur atoms (S) by selenium atoms (Se) in Cu2ZnSn(S1-y Sey )4 compounds causes a linear increase in the optical band-gap. For this reason, those compounds are suitable to implement band-gap engineering in compositionally graded solar cells. In this paper, we have worked to take advantage of this feature to enhance the performances of the basic uniform Kesterite and Stannite CZTS1–ySey solar cells. The influence of Tow grading profile was investigated: fully graded (a) and double graded (b). Fully graded Cell showed better parameters than compositionally uniform cells. In Double graded cells it appeared that front grading had a disruptive effect on solar cell parameters. In contrary back grading ameliorates significantly all cell parameters. As a result, the efficiency of kesterite and stannite cells was enhanced from 9.05 and 5.22% to 16.65 and 15.77 % respectively.

Published: May 2023

The present study consists in verifying the effect of the partial replacement of alluvial sand by glass aggregates on the performance of mortar. For that, a series of mechanical tests (compression and bending) and an examination of the pozzolanic activity were carried out on samples of prismatic shapes (40x40x160 mm3) of three types of mortar: (i) control mortar (cement + alluvial sand + mixing water); (ii) type 1 mortar (AV10) (cement + “90% alluvial sand + 10% glass aggregate” + water); and (iii) type 2 mortar (AV20) (cement + “80% alluvial sand + 20% glass aggregate” + water). The obtained results show that the presence of glass aggregates as a partial replacement for alluvial sand increases the performance of the mortar for an age of 28 days, in particular for the case of AV20.
Flow deficit, evapotranspiration and infiltration in arid areas: The case of Southern Tellian Atlas Sub-Basins, eastern Algeria
Authors: Amroune A. , Grine R. , Guastaldi E.
Published: May 2023

Knowledge of inputs into an aquifer environment still remains a task difficult to identify for a groundwater model implementing software to simulate scenarios over long periods. Due to several related factors such rain and flow regimes, and the geology and morphometry of hydrological units, the water entering in the system is a random parameter. The objective of this study is to assess the flow deficit and the recharge rate in the North of Hodna region. The hydrometric stations network managed by the Agence Nationale des Ressources Hydrauliques (ANRH), sometimes within the same watercourse, presents sufficient series to make comparisons between the flow deficits. Thus, starting from there, taking into account the sub-basins geology, we dissociated the evapotranspiration portion of water input from the infiltration. This method showed an 8% of recharge and 82% of deficit.

Published: May 2023

The environment is related to urban sprawl; it’s considered as the main threat to the natural city and the destruction of rural area. The aim of this study is to analyse changes on land-cover (urban task and forest-cover) in Annaba, using digital image processing techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In order to analyse land-use change and natural resource degradation and subsequently understand the relationship between the two processes, we mapped the urban stain and the vegetation-cover using multi-temporal satellite images on the years of 2000 and 2017.In that case, after observing and characterising the areas altering by the urban expansion, the modeling of the urban sprawl effect on vegetation-cover is realised by the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The results displayed that; on 17 years; the urban growth of Annaba decreases the vegetation-cover by 28.50 %.
Optimum energy calculation for a drill hammer-blow RH571-4W
Authors: Souilah N. , Zahzouh Z.
Published: May 2023

Consumption of raw materials has steadily increased. Rich countries explore several raw materials such as phosphate, ore and copper. For this, exploitations must be large, highly mechanized and produce in large quantities to be profitable. Also, the use of drilling means requires good productivity on the one hand and a long service life on the other hand. The satisfaction of these requirements is possible if the drilling method chosen is suitable for the geological and mining conditions as well as the drilling parameters. The choice of the machine therefore has a direct impact on costs and results. The aim of this work is to ensure a proper exploitation with an optimum energy calculation for a drill hammer-blow taking into account their economic or technical conception characteristics. To find out the energy losses of a hammer blow, the Baron and Ghrainer formula which, has been applied, allows us to calculate the drilling speed and to deduce the blow energy. Then, to calculate the energy losses and to extract the optimal values for different parameters, a statistical model of GAUSS-MARKOV theorem has been introduced.

Objective: The study assessed the profile and factors associated with fast food consumption among young people in tertiary educational institutions in Ibadan, Nigeria.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out among 300 eligible undergraduates in four campuses in Ibadan, Nigeria. Socio-demographic characteristics and information on fast food consumption and other relevant data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Statistically significant p-value was set at <0.05. SPSS version 23 was used for data analysis.Results: The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 21.6 ± 3.7 years and females constituted 66% of the participants. Nine out of ten participants had never married, majority were fulltime students and holiday jobs were noted in less than a third. About three out of five participants consumed fast food, which was usually flour-based. The commonest pattern of fast food consumption was lunch, with the commonest frequencies of once a day and thrice a week. The strongest reasons for consumption include being considered nutritious, being readily available, claiming it provides value for money, and being accessible.Conclusion: Fast food consumption was high in this study and this potentially has serious implications on the cardiovascular health of the participants. There is need for concerted efforts by the relevant stakeholders in stemming this tide by encouraging health education for healthy eating among young persons.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: An essential component of the Covid-19 response and a crucial public health intervention is the promotion of better hand hygiene. While several studies contend that good hand cleanliness is essential for lowering the prevalence of infectious diseases worldwide, college students have been found to inadequately wash their hands, which increases their chances of contracting the Covid-19 virus. This study aims to assess the knowledge and practice of hand hygiene among undergraduates of Osun State University, Osogbo campus.Methods: This study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional design to elicit a response from 271 male and female undergraduates of the University. A 34-item self-developed questionnaire comprising open and closed-ended questions served as the instrument for data collection. Data were analyzed in SPSS 25 using descriptive and inferential statistics at a 0.05 level of significance.Results: The study revealed that half (53%) had a fair knowledge of hand hygiene towards Covid-19 prevention, (51%) had low practice and (41%) perceived unavailability of soap and water as a barrier to its practice. The result also showed that there is a significant relationship between knowledge of hand hygiene and gender (x2=8.681; df=3; P=0.001). Also, a significant relationship exists between knowledge and practice of hand hygiene in the prevention of Covid-19 (x2=144.775, P=0.00). However, there is no significant relationship between the course of study and knowledge of hand washing among respondents (x2= .871, P=0.647).Conclusions: The study revealed that fair knowledge and moderate practice of hand hygiene exists among the respondents, coupled with many barriers such as lack of soap that hindered adequate practice, which calls for careful and immediate action through public health involvement.
Interventions to Improve Standing Balance in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Walia Shefali , Kumar Pragya , Kataria Chitra
Published: May 2023

Background

Incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) often results in impaired balance leading to functional impairments. Recovery of standing balance ability is an important aim of rehabilitative programs. However, limited information is available on effective balance training protocols for individuals with iSCI.

Objectives

To assess the methodological quality and effectiveness of various rehabilitation interventions for improving standing balance in individuals with iSCI.

Methods

A systematic search was performed in SCOPUS, PEDro, PubMed, and Web of Science from inception until March 2021. Two independent reviewers screened articles for inclusion, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality of the trials. PEDro Scale was used to assess the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCT) and crossover studies while pre-post trials were assessed using the modified Downs and Black tool. A meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively describe the results. The random effects model was applied to present the pooled effect.

Results

Ten RCTs with a total of 222 participants and 15 pre-post trials with 967 participants were analyzed. The mean PEDro score and modified Downs and Black score was 7/10 and 6/9, respectively. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) for controlled and uncontrolled trials of body weight-supported training (BWST) interventions was −0.26 (95% CI, −0.70 to 0.18; p = .25) and 0.46 (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.59; p < .001), respectively. The pooled effect size of −0.98 (95% CI, −1.93 to −0.03; p = .04) indicated significant improvements in balance after a combination of BWST and stimulation. Pre-post studies analyzing the effect of virtual reality (VR) training interventions on Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores in individuals with iSCI reported a mean difference (MD) of 4.22 (95% CI, 1.78 to 6.66; p = .0007). Small effect sizes were seen in pre-post studies of VR+stimulation and aerobic exercise training interventions indicating no significant improvements after training on standing balance measures.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated weak evidence to support the use of BWST interventions for overground training for balance rehabilitation in individuals with iSCI. A combination of BWST with stimulation however showed promising results. There is a need for further RCTs in this field to generalize findings. Virtual reality–based balance training has shown significant improvement in standing balance post iSCI. However, these results are based on single group pre-post trials and lack appropriately powered RCTs involving a larger sample size to support this intervention. Given the importance of balance control underpinning all aspects of daily activities, there is a need for further well-designed and appropriately powered RCTs to evaluate specific features of training interventions to improve standing balance function in iSCI.

„Sambucus nigra“ and „Sambucus racemosa“ fruit: a schematic review on chemical characterization
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Technology, Miljković Vojkan
Published: May 2023

Elderberry is a plant which parts are used for healing purposes. It is rich in polyphenolic compounds (anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolic acids, proanthocyanidins). Black elderberry is the most characterized of all elderberry types. In this paper, the emphasis is on published results about the fruit of black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) and red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), as well as different cultivars within these species. The first step in chemical analysis of a plant material is the extraction. It is important to choose the appropriate extraction technique and solvent(s) for the extraction. Spectrophotometric methods enable the determination of total phenol content, total monomeric anthocyanin content, antioxidant activity (ABTS ˙ +, DPPH˙, TEAC, β-carotene / linoleic acid assays). High performance liquid chromatography technique combined with appropriate detectors (for carbohydrates and organic acids: HPLC-PDA; for individual phenolic compounds: HPLC-DAD-MS, HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS-MS; for individual anthocyanins: HPLC-DAD–, HPLC-MS-MS, HPLC-UV-MS-MS, HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS, HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS-MS; for proanthocyanins: HPLC-ESI-MS-MS) provides the results about chemical composition, which were determined. Differences in chemical composition are evident between black and red elderberry, and less within different cultivars of the same species. Values for the total anthocyanin content obtained by using the HPLC method are two or more times higher than those obtained spectrophotometrically. The same can be said for the results for phenolic compounds. Elderberry fruit should be more commercialized since the chemical composition makes it a source of a cosmetically active substances.

Published: May 2023

We performed preliminary computational studies on the construction of a segment of ribosomal protein L4 from the apicoplast ribosome of Plasmodium falciparum. With a Z-score of -3.404, it is arguably the best constructed model of this drug target so far. Three domains from 23S rRNA were made from scratch using the software RNA2D3D: domain II, IV and V. They were not validated but show reasonable similarity with bacterial 23S rRNA. This model has technical limitations but is a starting point; refined models are expected to find use in antimalarial drug design.

Food is expected to meet basic physiological needs, but also to exert a positive influence on the health and protection of cells from negative environmental factors. Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals and also have antioxidant properties. The main antioxidants in tomatoes are carotenoids, ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds. Lycopene is responsible for the red color of tomatoes and is considered to be an antioxidant with high biological activity. Studies have shown that lycopene protects the skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays and thus provides some protection against skin cancer.
Economic Development of Indigenous Papuans: A Critical Analysis to Build Independent and Dignified Traditional Villages
Authors: Sokoy Fredrik
Published: May 2023

Problems within indigenous peoples include issues, such as self-identity, outlook on life, rights to land, forests or natural resources (SDA), claims to traditional territories/territories, and so on. The conceptual unification of the four dominant factors is 'vulnerable' which makes it easier for the existence and roles and demands of indigenous peoples to be marginalized. Discourse on indigenous peoples has been, is temporary, and will continue to take place in Indonesia, as long as their status and rights have not been officially and fully guaranteed by law and implemented by the government, including their involvement in economic development. The results of the study indicate that the model of economic development of indigenous peoples in Papua Province can be carried out through four strategies. First, the recognition and protection of indigenous peoples' rights by the state and local governments. Recognition and protection of the rights of indigenous Papuans by the state and the Papuan Provincial Government. Second, increasing the understanding of indigenous Papuans for their economic development. Indigenous peoples through existing institutions can initiate and manage their economic development process through partnerships with government and non-governmental institutions, such as banks and other banking institutions. Third, the development of the economic capital of indigenous peoples, which consists of customs, belief systems, values, language, culture (traditional tourism, dance and carving), and traditional knowledge in the management and protection of life. Fourth, the development of community-based tourism, in which the Papua Provincial Government needs to involve local indigenous peoples through the recognition of local wisdom possessed by indigenous peoples.

State officials with all the tools they have can at any time take arbitrary actions, which can harm the community. Therefore, the State Administrative Court was established to control all decisions and/or actions of state officials. State officials should act in the public interest, not in private. Decisions and/or actions of state officials will have a major impact on society, therefore it is necessary to evaluate by analyzing the decisions of state officials, with the aim of knowing the relevance of a decision and/or action of state officials. Sampang Regent Decree Number: 188.45/272/Kep/434.013/2021 is very controversial because it delays the implementation of the Village Head election until 2025, this decision is not only a defect of authority but also procedural and substance defects. As well as fulfilling the elements of void and invalid decision. Therefore, the people of Sampang can apply for revocation or annulment to the State Administrative Court (PTUN). This paper will review and analyze the Sampang Regent Decree Number: 188.45/272/Kep/434.013/2021 Regarding the Implementation of Simultaneous Village Head Elections in Sampang Regency. This paper uses a normative approach by analyzing laws and regulations such as the Law on Government Administration, the Law on the Formation of Laws and Regulations, Government Regulations, and regulations issued by the Minister of Home Affairs, juxtaposed with legal theory as an analytical tool.

Authors:   , França Thaisa Pereira de
Published: May 2023

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of different enzymes on the performance and gut morphology of broilers fed reduced energy diets, metabolizable energy values of reduced energy level diets. In experiment I - 1,280 male Cobb broilers, aged 1 to 42 days old, were used to evaluate performance parameters and gut morphology. Animals were distributed into 8 treatments with 8 replicates of 20 broilers each. The treatments consisted of: T1 - positive control (PC) diet with 3050 kcal ME/kg; T2 - negative control (NC) diet with a reduction of 200 kcal/kg; T3 - NC + Carbohydrase I (100 g/ton endo-1,4-beta-mannanase) ; T4 - NC + Carbohydrase II (100 g/ton endo-1,4-beta-xylanase and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase); T5 - NC + phytase (50 g/ton phytase-6); T6 - NC + Carbohydrase II + phytase; T7 - NC + Carbohydrase III (100g/ton endo-1,4-beta-xylanase); T8 - NC + Carbohydrase I + Carbohydrase II + phytase. The evaluated variables were body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD), and villus height: crypt depth ratio (VH: CD). In experiment II – 420 14-day-old broilers were distributed into seven treatments with ten replicates of` six broilers each, to determine the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn) of the diets. The same diets were used as treatments, excluding the PC. Comparing the treatments with the NC group, birds fed diets containing enzymes showed better BWG and FCR from 1 to 21 days old (P ≤ 0.05), and better FCR from 1 to 42 days (P ≤ 0.05). Additionally, the addition of Carbohydrase II and phytase promoted an increase in AME and AMEn of feed (P ≤ 0.05). Broilers fed with phytase showed higher VH when compared with the other treatments (P ≤ 0.05), whereas the treatments with phytase and Carbohydrases I, II, and phytase combination showed a better VH:CD (P ≤ 0.05). The inclusion of enzymes (carbohydrases and phytase) in broiler diets makes it possible to reduce feed energy levels without affecting performance parameters, AME corrected for nitrogen, and morphometry characteristics of the jejunum.

Introduction: Awareness-based approaches are proven to reduce disease-related complications, depressive symptoms, anxiety during the disease process, economic losses due to disease, and improve quality of life in diabetes patients. This study aims to present the frequency and awareness of diabetes mellitus in patients who applied to a primary health care institution in the capital city of Turkey. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the capital city of Turkey. In statistical analysis; descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and logistic regression analysis methods were employed for the statistical analysis part of this research. Results: 24.4% of the participants had diabetes. Regarding diabetes awareness level, statistically significant differences were found in age, education level, marital status, income, attention to healthy nutrition, BMI and presence of chronic disease. Employment variable has been identified as the factor that affected the diabetes awareness score the most in multiple logistic regression analysis. When only the participants with diabetes were examined in the multiple logistic regression analysis, it was found that the factor affecting the diabetes awareness score the most was diabetes type. Other influencing factors were determined as diet for diabetes and receiving diabetes education, respectively. Conclusion: Despite of many research that were carried out under the roof of diabetes awareness in the world and in Turkey, the desired level of knowledge and awareness is yet to be reached. Further research needs to be conducted in order to reach this goal

Authors: Jamal RAYYAN Mahmoud
Published: May 2023

The semiotics of the literary character is one of the branches of linguistic semiotics, which paves the way to highlight the personality in a more profound and accurate way to reveal the hidden The Holy Qur'an, as the most prominent and wonderful literary text, carries with it enormous linguistic marks, and the many characters mentioned directly by the Holy Qur'an are important linguistic signs. Here, her study comes in a semiotic direction that leads to revealing the meanings, concepts and connotations of this character. We have also dealt in our research with the aesthetics of the place in the story of Yunus (peace be upon him), and we proved that the place has a semiotic and actual role in creating the narrative, as the imaginary narrative has a role in giving specificity to the real space that shelters the Qur'anic character, which is In turn, she moves and squirts according to where she is sheltering on her journey. We have divided the two types of place, the reference and the miraculous, into safe and fearful places.

Published: May 2023

This work aims to describe the development of a prototype laser diode system along with its driver circuit and a stable microcontroller-based thermo-electric cooling system. The laser diode driver circuit was designed and simulated by using NI Multisim. The driver circuit was built using two LM317 ICs to control the voltage across the laser diode and current through the laser diode. The laser diode output power varies by varying the current across the laser diode through the driver circuit. The temperature of the laser diode rises with time, affecting the output power of the laser diode during a long period of operation. A microcontroller-based cooling system was designed and fabricated using thermoelectric coolers. The microcontroller controls the cooling system ON/OFF period to maintain the laser diode at a particular temperature by removing the excess heat produced during the lasing action. The laser diode with a microcontroller-based cooling system shows that the laser diode output power remains stable during a long period of operation.

Fabrication of N-Type Nanocrystalline Silicon Thin-Film by Magnetron Sputtering and Antimony Induced Crystallization
Authors: Shekoofa Omid , Wang Jian , Li Dejie
Published: May 2023

The fabrication of n-type nanocrystalline silicon thin films using magnetron sputtering and crystallization by adding antimony and thermal treatment is presented in this article. Firstly, a short overview about thin film deposition methods, along with the advantages and disadvantages of the magnetron sputtering, is provided. Then, the technique of adding metals for recrystallization of amorphous silicon is described, and the necessity of using antimony for obtaining n-type nanocrystalline silicon along with its characteristics is discussed. Next, the process of thin film deposition using magnetron sputtering and the production of n-type nanocrystalline silicon on a quartz substrate, by antimony induced crystallization, is explained. Subsequently, the characterization process and necessary measurements to confirm the crystallization of the nanocrystalline silicon layer and determine its crystalline properties are presented. For ease of electrical characterization, a simple n/p junction Schottky solar cell is fabricated using the produced nanocrystalline silicon layer on a p-type monocrystalline silicon wafer. In addition to nanocrystalline properties, the optical and electrical characteristics of this cell are also investigated. The measurements show that with the proposed method, a fine grains nanocrystalline silicon layer with an average grain size of 20 nm was formed in the <111> direction. J-V characteristic measurement shows the creation of a solar cell with conversion efficiency of 1.39%, open circuit voltage of 265mV and current density of 16.32mA/cm2.  These results confirm that antimony can be used in the process of crystallizing amorphous thin film silicon obtained from magnetron sputtering and converting it into n-type nanocrystalline silicon.

Disamping ruang komunal untuk kegiatan yang bersifat formal seperti ruang kuliah, juga terdapat ruang komunal atau co-working space untuk kegiatan yang bersifat informal seperti ruang parkir, selasar, hall, teras, taman, tangga yang digunakan mahasiswa untuk mengisi kegiatannya disela-sela perkuliahan. Co-working space Radio Buku adalah salah satu ruang publik yang dekat dan terlibat dalam kegiatan dan mewadahi aktivitas tersebut. Maka penting adanya perhatian untuk perancangan interior di tempat teresebut. Perancangan ini bertujuan mengatasi keterbatasan ruang dari hari ke hari yang menjadi kebutuhan di era milenial sekarang ini dengan menggunakan metode design thinking. Adapun hasil ideasi dan prototype yang dihasilkan dari proses metode tersebut adalah dengan pembagian zona dan taktisi ruangan. Dimana ada tiga zona. Zona 1 digunakan sebagai seminar, pameran, workshop dan acara. Zona 2 digunakan kegiatan diskusi terfokus atau semi private. Dan zona 3 sebagai ruang yang bersifat private. Selain itu, dari perancangan ini dapat pula diterapkan taktisi perluasan ruangan dengan proses penggabungan karena penggunaan sekat yang memisahkan ruang bersifat fleksibel.
