Timelines: Engaging with Critical Thinking through Visual Contextualization
Authors:   Northumbria University, Vialard Alice , Holgate Peter ,   Northumbria University, Young Shaun ,   Northumbria University
Published: November 2021

In architectural education, the use of precedents to inform studio design process is recognized, supported and mandated by many professional architectural accreditation boards. However, the study of precedents in taught history and theory courses may not automatically lead to application in architectural design. Too often, the relationship remains superficial, and primarily visual or formal. The rise of online sources means that websites have become a major source for students’ collections of architectural precedents. Platforms, such as Pinterest, provide a repository of alluring images, allowing access to a burgeoning array of precedents. Such ease of access may however reinforce superficial readings of buildings through images that mitigate against deep analysis. Architectural educators seek to teach students to interrogate examples beyond the immediate image, and to instill critical thinking in order that precedent analysis becomes meaningful when making informed decisions during the design phase. This innovative proposal builds upon architecture’s visual bias by introducing evaluative analysis in the form of a pictorial timeline that seeks to contextualize a specific building within a larger set of precedents as the starting point for a critical framework. This provides students with a tool for critically organising visual knowledge in order to create new design applications. This timeline assignment, which has developed over 4 years, has evolved from a method to select and organize precedents into a comparison tool that can practically shape and define architectural strategies. When this knowledge is transferred to studio design projects, such architectural strategies enable deep evaluation of buildings towards facilitating justified design decisions.
(Digital) Design-Build Education
Authors:   Rice University, Colopy Andrew
Published: November 2021

Architectural education is often held up as an exemplar of project-based learning. Perhaps no discipline devotes as much curricular time to the development of a hypothetical project as is found in the design studio model prevalent in US architecture schools. Whether the emphasis is placed on more ‘classical’ design skills—be they typological, tectonic, or aesthetic—or on more ‘socio-political or eco-cultural aims,’ studios generally include the skills and values we deem instrumental to practice.1 The vast majority of such studios, therefore, emphasize the production of drawings, images and models of buildings, i.e., representation.2 This is not altogether surprising, as these are, by definition, the instruments of p ractice.3 But the emphasis on drawings and models also reflects the comfortable and now long-held disciplinary position that demarcates representation as the distinct privilege and fundamental role of the architect in the built environment. That position, however, continues to pose three fundamental and pedagogical challenges for the discipline. First, architectural education—to the degree that it attempts both to simulate and define practice—struggles to model the kind of feedback that occurs only during construction which can serve as an important check on the fidelity and efficacy of representation in its instrumental mode. Consequently, design research undertaken in this context may also tend to privilege instrumentation (representation) over effect (building), reliant on the conventions of construction or outside expertise for technical knowledge. This cycle further distances the process of building from our disciplinary domain, limiting our capacity to effect innovation in the built world.4 Second, and in quite similar fashion, the design studio struggles to provide the kind of social perspective and public reception, i.e., subjective political constraints, that are integral to the act of building. Instead, we approximate such constraints with a raft of disciplinary experts—faculty and visiting critics—whose priorities and interests seldom reflect the broad constituency of the built environment. The third challenge, and a quite different one, is that the distinction between representation and construction is collapsing as a result of technological change. In general terms, drawing is giving way to modeling, representation giving way to simulation. Drawings are increasingly vestigial outputs from higher-order organizations of information. Representation, yes, but a subordinate mode that remains open to modification, increasingly intelligent in order to account for direct translation into material conditions, be they buildings or budgets.
Productive Anachronism: Paper Quilling and the Craft of Architectural Representation

The materials and techniques that we use to create architectural representations undoubtedly affect how we apprehend the work of architecture being depicted. By analogy, if we consider Leonardo da Vinci’s oil-on-poplar depiction of Lisa Gherardini next to a pencil sketch, a comic-book style half-tone, and a graffiti-based interpretation of the Mona Lisa, it’s clear that each medium maintains its own set of associations, while, at the same time, clearly communicates its content and reference. The medium is not perhaps the whole message, but it is an important component of our experience of images and drawings.It is also true that the choice of a particular mode of drawing during the design process can profoundly shape the object being designed. Any student of architecture can rattle off the implications of choosing Rhino, Sketch-Up, Maya, AutoCad, or Revit to work through an architectural design problem, particularly in terms of the forms and details that each software facilitates easily or with difficulty. Robin Evans’ insights about drawing’s fundamental difference from its content, and yet the agency it maintains in the shaping of that content, turns out to be just as true in the digital age as it was in the era of hand drawing.1 Unfortunately, the professional trend toward hyperreal image-making has meant concealing the drawing’s own construction processes and neutering its space-generating potential. The speculative and uncertain nature of hand-production is sublimated in favor of the glossy render that makes the proposed appear as already-real. The pendulum is already swinging away from this tendency in some academic and professional circles, largely under the banner of the post-digital.2 Despite a return to orthography, collage, and an “illustrated” rather than “rendered” sensibility, the so-called post-digital largely remains stubbornly digital. How, in a world saturated with Instagram-worthy architectural images, can we teach our students to reinvest in a drawing-based design process that is experimental and open-ended? How can drawing itself be reinvigorated both in terms of its representational agency and its abilities to produce new kinds of form and space?
Technological Disruption: Millennials and the Practice and Teaching of Architecture

Published: November 2021

The second decade of the twenty first century finds the practice and academies of architecture in the midst of an ongoing disruption. This paper discusses the economic upheaval that began this trajectory and its impacts on present and future architectural practice and teaching. How both the profession and academy can adapt depends on their understanding of the ascendant Millennial generation. An awareness of their demographic, technological, and learning characteristics can be essential in navigating the turbulence of technological transformation in the coming century.
Skittles: Jinni or Universe in a Pocket?

Published: November 2021

This was the big data economy, and it promised spectacular gains. A computer program could speed through thousands of resumés or loan applications in a second or two and sort them into neat lists, with the most promising candidates on top. This not only saved time but also was marketed as fair and objective. After all, it didn’t involve prejudiced humans digging through reams of paper, just machines processing cold numbers…The math- powered applications powering the data economy were based on choices made by fallible human beings.Some of these choices were no doubt made with the best intentions. Nevertheless, many of these models encoded human prejudice, misunderstanding, and bias into the software systems that increasingly managed our lives. Like gods, these mathematical models were opaque, their workings invisible to all but the highest priests in their domain. Their verdicts, even when wrong or harmful, were beyond dispute or appeal. And they tended to punish the poor and the oppressed in our society, while making the rich richer…Without feedback, however, a statistical engine can continue spinning out faulty and damaging analysis while never learning from its mistakes…They define their own reality and use it to justify their results. This type of model is self-perpetuating, highly destructive, and very common.
All Access: Better Fits for Architecture
Authors:   University of Michigan, McMorrough Julia
Published: November 2021

In 1975, disability activist Victor Finkelstein modestly but pointedly proposed an “imaginary example which turns the world upside down,” where wheelchair users lived together in a village no longer obliged to accommodate the able-bodied, who found themselves comparatively disabled by their ill fit into their surroundings. That same year, Peter Eisenman’s pointedly disorienting House VI was completed, intentionally confounding inhabitation by even the most robust physical specimens. Nearly two decades earlier, in 1956, Selwyn Goldsmith contracted polio in the same year he earned his degree from the Bartlett School of Architecture. With his drawing hand paralyzed, his life and career had to adjust themselves accordingly. His life’s work would engage his insights into both realms –architecture and disability – and in his seminal work, Designing for the Disabled, he upended established views on ‘medical disability,’exposing instead the idea that architecture was responsible for the creation of disabling environments, and, further, that “the architect can prevent people from being disabled when they use buildings.”

Spatial Network Analysis: The Decision-Making Process
Authors:   Oklahoma State University, Ra Seung
Published: November 2021

Data-driven research methods of analyzing and generating urban space reflect professional developments in the field of architecture, using urban data analytics as a driving force for the decision-making process. Urban data analytic methods help us to see and understand the city via the flow of spatial data. How might we look to alternative influences to improve the built environment? This paper focuses on the topic of Urban Network Analysis; nurturing an effective decision-making process by making invisible urban patterns visible through geo-spatial data. The associated research project created a platform to participate in the active relationship of urban form and its organization within the natural and built environments. The investigation aimed to provide goals for the future direction of urban planning and design guidelines. The computational analysis tools employed here demonstrate how to utilize geospatial data to analyze street networks, to create case studies of pattern and formation, and to expand our knowledge of relevant issues – social, political, economic, environmental, and spatial.1Instead of being given a problem, the project team was proactively seeking the problem, based in this case on Geographic Information System (GIS data. Creating meaningful solution to these issues is the role of designers and the future of architecture. In our problem seeking, we examined issues of accessibility, walkability, and pedestrian and vehicular movement by using computational analytic methods.2 The research helped us to understand the city via the flow of spatial data and its analysis applications. Using these tools, we simulated the growth of the city and analyzed it by looking at urban patterns. Several fundamental questions arose: In what ways do elements of urban form begin to affect an urban network? Are there other urban phenomena that contribute to forming an urban network? In cities where growth rate is rapid, transportation systems pose a challenge. How does spatial structuring of the city influence it? Is the analysis valuable? If so, why and who could benefit from its application? How could those factors begin to affect the analysis interpreted by the network analysis?

Published: November 2021

‘Patharnakh’ (PN) (Pyrus pyrifolia Burm. Nakai) and ‘Punjab Beauty’ (PB) [Pyrus communis L. × Pyrus pyrifolia Burm. (Nakai)] are leading low-chill pear cultivars of subtropics of India. Diurnal temperature and relative humidity during fruit harvest period is high which considerably affect the shelf life of fruits. Fruits of ‘PN’ and ‘PB’ pear harvested at physiological maturity were stored for 12 days at ambient temperature and effects of storage temperature on physical and qualitative parameters were studied. Both cultivars showed reduction in fruit weight and firmness, reducing sugars, sucrose, starch and pectin content. However, total soluble solids and juice acid content increased during storage. Sucrose synthase activity and sucrose content showed significant positive correlation in ‘PN’ cultivar. Activities of fruit softening enzymes such as polygalacturonase (PG) and cellulase was enhanced; whereas, pectinmethylesterase (PME) was reduced during storage. Fruit firmness was negatively correlated with PG in both the cultivars. In ‘PN’ cultivar, fruit firmness was positively correlated with cellulase and negatively with PME enzyme but reverse trend was observed in ‘PB’ cultivar. Fruit minerals content didn’t show any substantial disparities in both the cultivars during storage. ‘Patharnakh’ and ‘Punjab Beauty’ fruits maintain desirable quality parameters up to 6-9 days and 3-6 days, respectively, during storage at ambient conditions.

Published: November 2021

Lebanon has ancient mulberry trees which are the remnants of the abundant orchards that dominated its lands during the nineteenth century. Lebanese mulberry germplasm has not been assessed yet. This study aims to collect local old rainfed mulberry accessions from different geographical regions and assess their diversity by using morphological and molecular markers (SSR and ISSR). Genetic diversity of 70 accessions of mulberry were evaluated by using 27 morphological traits. The dendrogram based on the morphological attributes showed a relative separation of the different accessions based on fruits color and taste. Molecular analysis was performed for the accessions by using selected SSR and ISSR primers. The primers marked a high discriminating power (0.7 to 0.89). The dendrogram constructed on the base of UPGMA method showed 13 different groups. The clustering patterns indicated no location nor local name specificity among mulberry accessions. The combination of SSR and ISSR primers was informative for estimating the extent of mulberry genetic diversity. It can be concluded that there is a high level of genetic diversity within mulberry trees in Lebanon. These results will be useful for mulberry germplasm management in terms of biodiversity protection and as a valuable source of gene pool for crop improvement.

Temperature is a crucial factor in growing plants in a forcing system. Our goal was to introduce low-chill peach cultivars into a forcing culture for early-season peach production with high fruit quality. However, the effects of growth temperature on plant growth and fruit quality during fruit development of the ‘KU-PP2’ peach cultivar have not yet been evaluated. ‘KU-PP2’ trees were grown in containers and transferred to phytotrons after fruit set in April 2019. The air temperature was set at 20, 25, and 30°C until harvest. Photosynthetic ability, leaf characteristics, and fruit quality under each treatment were determined. Long exposure to lower growth temperatures did not cause a change in leaf characteristics or a reduction in photosynthetic ability and fruit quality in the ‘KU-PP2’ peach cultivar. In contrast, the 30°C was found to be associated with a decrease in leaf size and thickness, stomatal density, photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, and fruit size. Conversely, the high-temperature condition enhanced coloration of the fruit peel and hastened the harvesting period, compared with the lower-temperature treatments. These results indicated that long-term exposure to the moderately high temperature of 30°C negatively affected plant growth and fruit productivity through changed leaf characteristics and a disrupted photosynthesis.

Published: November 2021

Data Labs is one of the elements of the data center and has been owned by almost all organizations in the special library environment for government and private institutions, on behalf of the data and information center. The term, data labs, become the focus of the study in its function to maximize the use of data (reusable data) in institutional repositories and generally managed by special libraries. The discussion focuses on material that answers the function/role of a special library as data labs; current and future challenges; how information professionals respond to these challenges; as well as how to see the potential of the collections and content they have. Survey analysis and data collection through depth-interviews are a form of research approach in this study. Based on the results of the study, it was found that most of the respondents had played a part in supporting the openness of data in their institutions, and had some of the functions of data labs. There are several things that need to be considered further, namely the points for the roles they have (digital divide, data management, and knowledge workers), challenge points (policies and data openness ecosystem), response points (targeted-groups, business processes, action plans, and skill-upgrade), as well as points for the potential collections and content owned by the institutions (advocacy, needs analysis, open data principles, and inclusiveness). The research results are expected to be the basis for policy in determining the position of special libraries with data labs functions to support institutions’ performance. So it can be concluded that in supporting the transformation of this function, it is necessary to provide competent employees in accordance with the needs for the future development of data repository content, as well as in line with government programs and the global community related to data transparency and governance in Indonesia.
DIAGNOSIS OF FUEL EQUIPMENT OF DIESEL ENGINE BY REMOVING VYBRO INDICATORS OF FUEL SUPPLY
Authors: Burlaka Serhiy , Kravets Svitlana
Published: November 2021

Modern cars are increasingly equipped with control and diagnostic equipment. These methods are used to optimize the working process in the engine, improve traffic safety and simplify operation and maintenance.
You can adjust the chip to your liking, adjust the "performance" of the engine, because comfortable driving conditions give us a lot of pleasure.
The current control of technical conditions is carried out by the onboard system of self-diagnostics, which is an integral part of the controller. Problems that occur are signaled visually and stored in electronic memory. The full list of actual settings of codes of self-diagnostics and parameters of working process is carried out on HUNDRED with automobile indicators of brand. The problem is determined only by connecting a tester or scanner to a special diagnostic connector available in the car.
However, there are often complaints about objective and comprehensive examinations.
Misdiagnosis of "standards" with obvious signs of external problems is often given for many reasons. First of all, the use of information is limited electrical signals. In fact, the state of the circuit of sensors and actuators of engine automation is determined. Degradation of complex structures is usually based on the "domino principle": one local problem leads to another, another to a third, etc., which leads to the complete failure of the whole device. Problems with electricity may not be the cause but the consequences of other problems, including non-electrical causes. For example, the "ringing" of the piston fingers may indicate early inflammation and wear of the relevant components. The instability of the spark discharge in the spark plug may be the result of decompression of the working volume of the cylinder or improper preparation of the working mixture. The problem of the intake manifold or contamination of the fuel injector is usually recognized by the self-diagnostic system as a fault of the lambda detector. The list of such ambiguities can be expanded. When it is necessary to "restore" the accident of "decent age", branded diagnostic equipment may be useless.
INVESTIGATION OF MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A VIBRATING MIXER WITH A FREEZERY PENDULUM MECHANISM
Authors: Tsurkan Oleh , Polievoda Yurii , Prysyazhniuk Dmytro
Published: November 2021

An extensive review of vibrating mixers, identified their advantages and disadvantages. The application of the action of low-frequency oscillations on the process of mixing bulk inhomogeneous products is substantiated. All considered schemes of vibrating mixers, as well as designs in which mixing devices are driven by vibration-pulse transducers (in which the energy of the main or master system is used to create the technological motion of the driven system) can be attributed to energy-saving technological equipment.
The article describes the design, the principle of operation of the developed vibrating mixer with a double pendulum freewheel mechanism for driving the agitator blades in rotational motion. The calculation scheme and laws of motion of this system in the form of Lagrange equations of the second kind (mathematical model) are presented.
Using the obtained 2nd order multiple regression equations, recommendations were determined regarding the main parameters of the operating mode of the studied vibration mixing process.
Analyzing the results of vibration mixing of bulk inhomogeneous raw materials, we can say that the most influential factors in determining the natural oscillation frequency of the system pendulum, which is one of the main objectives of our study is spring stiffness, spring attachment distance from axis of rotation, rotation angles, pendulum weight, length and the moment of inertia.
The paper proves that among various forms of mechanical action on dispersed systems in technological processes vibration action occupies an important place as one of the most effective means to create the necessary dynamic state of dispersed systems.

La diverticulitis aguda (DA) es una de las patologías gastrointestinales más prevalentes en Occidente, pudiendo afectar a diferentes localizaciones y presentarse de forma heterogénea en cuanto a síntomas y gravedad.

El curso de la patología diverticular parece impredecible en cuanto a las recurrencias y síntomas crónicos gastrointestinales.

En la última década, la publicación de múltiples estudios ha permitido una mejor comprensión de la DA. Hasta ahora se pensaba que se trataba de una enfermedad agresiva y recurrente, por lo que el umbral de la cirugía ha sido bajo. Comprendiendo mejor el curso de la enfermedad conseguimos un enfoque correcto y con tendencia a disminuir la indicación quirúrgica, lo cual hace que exista un grupo de pacientes cada vez mayor al que seguiremos en el curso de su patología.

Es importante saber cómo manejar a estos pacientes tras el episodio agudo; éste es el punto que desarrollaremos en este capítulo, dejando a un lado el tratamiento de la DA en sí y contemplando qué hacer de forma ambulatoria con los pacientes tras la resolución del cuadro agudo.

The biochemical contents of plants may vary depending on soil and climatic conditions. Under unsuitable conditions, the resistance mechanismof plants is determined by the biochemical properties of the plants. For this reason, it is of great importance to determine thebiochemical contents of some plants that are naturally grown and generally used as dye plants. For this purpose, Salix albaL., Verbascum thapsusL., Urtica dioicaL., Digitalis lanataEhrh, Galium aparineL., Lythrum salicariaL., Hypericum perforatumL., Hypericum scabrumL., Quercus roburL. subsp. robur, Glycyrrhiza glabraL. plants were collected. Antioxidant enzyme activity, hormone, organic acid, total phenolic substance and some other biochemical analyzes were made in these plant samples. As a result of the study, depending on the plant varieties, total antioxidant, total phenolic content and organic acid levels showed significant differences. According to the results of this study, Verbascum thapsusL. plant had high antioxidant enzyme activity, while Digitalis lanataEhrh. plant was found to be higher in terms of hormone and total organic acid content. The highest amount of carotenoid, abscisic acid and hydrogen peroxide were determined in Urtica dioica L. plant.

Review question / Objective: The objective of the present study is, through the methodology of systematic review, to identify the benefits in QoL, starting from a PE program in individuals with ID and relate them to the model of Schalock et al. (2002). Condition being studied: In individuals with ID, characterized by a deficit of intellectual and adaptive functioning in the conceptual, social and practical domains, identified with mild, moderate, severe and profound degrees and develops before 18 or 22 years old (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Schalock et al., 2010; 2021), measuring QoL allows: i) to understand their degree of satisfaction; ii) understand personal perceptions; iii) support decision-making; iv) evaluate the intervention; v) evaluate theoretical models. This measurement allows us to direct the individual to the life he likes and values (Schalock & Verdugo, 2002). Thus, the objective of the present study is, through the methodology of systematic review, to identify the benefits in QoL, starting from a PE program in individuals with ID and relate them to the model of Schalock et al. (2002).
To hoard or to share? Strategic management of knowledge and ICTs in complex economic systems
Authors: Canals Agustí
Published: November 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to achieve a better understanding of the effects of strategic decisions related to the management of knowledge taken by organizations in complex economic systems. These effects are seen in the long term performance of organizations in the system choosing different strategic paths. As knowledge-related processes make intensive use of ICTs, the influence of the degree of development of these technologies is taken into account.Design/methodology/approach: An agent-based simulation model, ImbySim, based in the I-Space conceptual framework, is used to represent the evolution of a group of knowledge-intensive organizations located in a given geographic space. Those organizations engage, among others, in processes of creation and transfer of knowledge assets. Organizations show different levels of performance, which may be related to their knowledge-related strategic choices. The main knowledge-related strategies available for the agents are, on one side, sharing or hoarding knowledge and, on the other side, structuring or de-structuring knowledge.Findings: The results of the simulation suggest that it is not adequate to adopt an 'always sharing' or 'always hoarding' strategy. The hoarding or sharing of knolwedge assets need to be applied in a discriminating way depending on the specific asset or the situation of the organization.  Also, different levels of development of ICTs favour different strategic choices concerning the adequate structuring of knowledge assets and the degree of knowledge sharing. In general terms, ICT development calls for more sharing and more structuring of knowledge.Originality/value: From the simulations, a number of empirically testable hypotheses have been extracted. Should these hypotheses get empirically corroborated, they would challenge a certain body of theorising—associated with organizational ecology and organizational demography—thus demonstrating the fruitfulness of the simulation approach to complex knowledge-based problems in the field of strategy.Practical implications: The hypotheses developed from this research may be very useful, once empirically tested, for strategic planning. Policy makers in charge of complex economic systems and firms and institutions present in them may benefit from the insights obtained and define their strategic moves according to them.

Lysostaphin is a glycylglycine endopeptidase, secreted by Staphylococcus simulans, capable of specifically hydrolyzing pentaglycine crosslinks present in the peptidoglycan of the Staphylococcus aureus cell wall. In this paper, we describe the cloning and expression of the lysostaphin enzyme gene in Bacillus subtilis WB600 host using pWB980 expression system. Plasmid pACK1 of S. simulans was extracted using the alkaline lysis method. Lysostaphin gene was isolated by PCR and cloned into pTZ57R/T-Vector, then transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α. The amplified gene fragment and uncloned pWB980 vector were digested using PstI and XbaІ enzymes and purified. The restricted gene fragment was ligated into the pWB980 expression vector by the standard protocols, then the recombinant plasmid was transformed into B. subtilis WB600 using electroporation method. The recombinant protein was evaluated by the SDS-PAGE method and confirmed by western immunoblot. Analysis of the target protein showed a band corresponding to 27-kDa r-lysostaphin. Protein content was estimated 91 mg/L by Bradford assay. The recombinant lysostaphin represented 90% of its maximum activity at 40 °C and displayed good thermostability by keeping about 80% of its maximum activity at 45 °C. Heat residual activity assay of recombinant lysostaphin demonstrated that the enzyme stability was up to 40 °C and showed good stability at 40 °C for 16 h incubation.

Online Calling Cards and Professional Profiles in Cybersecurity From Social Media
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: November 2021

Demand is very high for people to work in various cybersecurity professions and ceteris paribus that demand may well continue into the near term. While there are more formal trails for employment, such as higher-educational pathways, performance in cybersecurity competitions, participation in professional conferences, and social media presentations may all offer less conventional paths into cybersecurity hiring. Through a convenience sample across a number of social media platforms and bottom-up coding, this work explores some aspects of cybersecurity professional profiles (“calling cards”) available on the open Social Web and what may be learned about respective skills and capabilities from these glimmers of the person(s) behind the profiles. These profiles are assessed based on a 2x2 axis with focuses on (1) target skills and (2) personhood attributes. From these analyses, some tentative insights are shared about the cybersecurity calling cards and how informative they may be for recruitment and retention of cybersecurity workers.

A Critical Evaluation of India's Look-East to Act-East Policy
Authors: Jain Shashi , Kaur Harpreet
Published: November 2021

The Look-East Policy was launched in 1992 with the objective that economic integration with Southeast Asian countries would provide an opportunity for growth and transformation of the country because these were the fastest-growing economies. The Indian economy was opening up. The Act-East Policy was succeeded by the Look-East Policy in 2014. This policy was to have greater engagement with countries in Southeast Asia. The Act-East Policy gave importance to economic cooperation, greater connectivity, and security ties. By departing from the traditional foreign policy imperatives, this policy focused on removing the barriers and remoteness of Northeast India. It represents the development model of this region. There has been a sizeable increase in trade output with Southeast Asian countries and an increase in foreign investment. This policy has helped India strengthen its place in the global economy. However, northeastern states have not developed much. The poor section of society and the indigenous residents have not gained from export-oriented and capital-intensive projects.
