Historical Development of Urban Planning Theory: Review and Comparison of Theories in Urban Planning
Authors: Zulfiqar Muhammad Umar , Kausar Maria
Published: January 2023

Discipline of urban planning only developed around a century back with the first academic school at the University of Liverpool in 1909. However, the theory of this discipline is relatively older and might date to varying timelines around various parts of the world. However, modern urban planning discipline has got birth in the US and Western Europe. Early development in the theory of urban planning develops challenges for the cities. In response to such challenges, the planning approaches seem to adapt to the needs of emerging regimes evident from the high-scale urban renovation of Paris by Haussmann. This is called the Progressive Model of Planning wherein planners of the time struggled to deal with the challenges imparted by the Industrial Revolution through scientific and engineering-based knowledge. Early urban planning efforts were mostly anarchist movements that reacted to the social issues of the time and include Garden City, Radiant City, Broadacre, etc. This study sought to present these theoretical considerations with respect to certain development classifications in urban planning. Accordingly, the methodology of the research study comprises the following sections/segments for a better understanding of urban planning at different times: i. Pre-History of Urban Planning ii. Foundational Years iii. Modernism (Rational Planning) iv. Post Modernism (Post war suburbia) v. Current Era In short, it is concluded that cities have emerged as a result of conscious decisions. Accordingly, looking into the planning theory requires due consideration of the planning approaches utilized over time. This perceives that planning theory is essentially the study of the decisions made from intuition and that is equally right because planning theory and practice development are in parallel.
Espacio cultural de los congos del Espíritu Santo

Published: December 2022

El Espacio Cultural de los Congos del Espíritu Santo fue declarado en el 2001 Obra Maestra del Patrimonio Cultural Oral e Intangible de la Humanidad de la UNESCO, cuya Convención del 2003 fue refrendada por el Congreso dominicano en el 2006 y, desde el 2008 pasó a ser Elemento de la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Varios textos confirman la existencia de esta tradición desde hace mucho más de un siglo en nuestro país. Su historia de siglos revela una tradición, que, en el caso de los Congos del Espíritu Santo, tiene un origen de leyenda y un trabajo sostenible con las celebraciones de eventos rituales dedicados a esta deidad mencionada, a la Virgen del Rosario y a cofrades muertos, a quienes se les hacen diversos rituales, actividades estas que les han permitido empinarse a semejante pódium mundial. La tradición de los Congos tuvo, en su momento, a Sixto Minier como capitán, quien fue reconocido por su labor al frente del grupo de Mata los Indios. Su herencia, a decir de él mismo, se remonta a los doce años edad cuando su abuela le enseñó y transmitió la tradición. Según la leyenda de los Congos, los veinte y un toques que se ejecutan con sus instrumentos (congo mayor, conguito, maracas y canoíta), todos fueron entregados por el mismo Espíritu Santo en el mismo lugar donde hoy se encuentra la iglesia del mismo nombre en Villa Mella.
La arquitectura de la plantación en el Caribe hispánico
Authors: Duran Víctor
Published: December 2022

Las plantaciones azucareras jugaron un papel determinante en la historia del Caribe, ejerciendo una gran influencia en su desarrollo económico, social y geográficoespacial, sobre todo a principios del siglo XX. En ellas se plasmó la visión que del Caribe tenían los imperios colonialistas, contribuyendo, probablemente, como base para la construcción del Caribe actual y su proceso de criollización. En las plantaciones agrícolas o centrales azucareras que se diseminaron por todo el Caribe, no sólo el hispánico, subyace esa visión. Autores de la talla de Frank Moya Pons, en su libro Historia del Caribe, consideran que, ni el desarrollo del capitalismo mundial, ni la independencia de los Estados Unidos, podrían entenderse completamente sin el papel que jugaron las plantaciones azucareras caribeñas.Desde otra óptica, los arquitectos dominicanos Risoris Silvestre en su ensayo Las viviendas de un proceso industrial y Eugenio Pérez Montás, en el libro de su coautoría Historias para la construcción de la arquitectura dominicana, coinciden, en que la población tomó los nuevos elementos importados y supieron interpretarlos y manejarlos, demostrando una forma muy particular de expresión, perfectamente adaptada a nuestro clima. Mientras para Risoris Silvestre “Estas soluciones fueron copiadas y agregadas a nuestra arquitectura vernácula en todos los pueblos del interior”; para Pérez Montás fue una manera en que “Crecieron poco a poco las antiguas ciudades y se desbordaron por los nuevos ensanches que modificaron las antiguas morfologías”.

Published: December 2022

Eğitim sistemimizin en önemli sorunlarından biri öğrencilerin okullarda öğretilen yabancı dili etkili ve aktif bir şekilde günlük hayatında kullanamamasıdır. Yabancı dilin daha etkili öğrenilebilmesi için yabancı dil öğretimi artık ilkokul 2. Sınıf itibariyle başlamaktadır. İlkokullarda yabancı dil öğretimi İngilizce öğretmenleri tarafından, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin olmadığı okullarda sınıf öğretmenleri tarafından yürütülmektedir. Bu araştırma ile İngilizce ve sınıf öğretmenlerinin ilkokulda yabancı dil öğretimine yönelik görüşleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yöntemi kullanılırken, verilerin analiz edilmesinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Ölçüt örnekleme yöntemine göre seçilen 18 öğretmenin görüşleri önce branş olarak sınıflandırılmış sonra tema ve alt temalarına ayrılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda İngilizce ve sınıf öğretmenlerinin genel olarak ilkokulda yabancı dil öğretimine olumlu baktıkları tespit edilmiştir. Sınıf öğretmenlerinin yabancı dil öğretimine yönelik yöntem ve teknikleri bilmedikleri görülürken, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin yabancı dil öğretimine yönelik fakat öğretim programıyla uyumlu olmayan klasik yöntem ve teknikleri tercih ettikleri görülmüştür.

Authors: KÖROĞLU Ali , YILDIZ Salih
Published: December 2022

Covid-19 pandemisi başta sağlık olmak üzere toplumsal hayatı birçok yönden etkilemektedir. Pandeminin etkilediği önemli alanlardan biri de ekonomidir. Pandemi birçok işletmeyi ekonomik olarak etkilemektedir. Geleneksel pazarlama yöntemlerini kullanarak satış gerçekleştiren birçok firma pandemi nedeniyle ürünlerini internet üzerinden satmaya başlamıştır. Çünkü tüketici bu dönemde yoğun olarak internet üzerinden alışveriş yapmaktadır. Bu alışverişlerde yoğunluk nedeniyle işletmelerin bazı müşterilerin taleplerine zamanında cevap verememesi veya yanlış ürünler göndermesi gibi sorunlar bu müşteriler tarafından adaletsizlik olarak algılanmaktadır. Ayrıca firmaların bu dönemlerde fiyat artışları yapması da müşteriler tarafından adaletsizlik olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı pandemi döneminde işletmelerin faaliyetlerinin müşteriler tarafından nasıl algılandığını araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla pandemi döneminde internet üzerinden alışveriş yapan 409 müşteriye anket uygulanmıştır. Anketlerden elde edilen veriler SPSS ve AMOS programlarında analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları varsayımlarımızla uyum göstermektedir. Pandemi döneminde internet üzerinden alışveriş yapan müşteriler işletmelerin hizmete yönelik kusurlarını adaletsizlik olarak algılamaktadır. Ancak bu algının sinizm düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisi çok düşüktür. İşletmelerin bu dönemde uyguladığı fiyat değişiklikleri ise müşteriler tarafından adaletsizlik olarak algılanmaktadır ve bu algının sinizm düzeyleri üzerine etkisi daha yüksektir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda pandemi döneminde, işletmeler fiyat değişiklikleri yaptıklarında, hizmet adaletsizliklerinin müşterilerin sinizm düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisinin daha fazla olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Published: January 2023

Cashew is one of the major commercial commodities contributing to the national economy of Tanzania as foreign revenue. And yet still the processing of cashew is run locally using manual labour for a big part. If processed well under ideal conditions, cashews kernels are expected to be white in colour. But due to various factors like prolonged roasting in the steam chambers or over-drying, some cashew kernels tend to have a slight brown colour, and these are referred to as scorched cashews. Despite sharing the same characteristics with white cashew kernels, including nutritional quality, these cashew kernels are supposed to be graded differently. In many places around the world, particularly in Tanzania, the sorting and grading process of cashew kernels is performed by hand. In international trade, cashew grading is very important and this means more effective and consistent methods need to be applied in this stage of production in order to increase the quality of the products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of traditional Machine Learning techniques in the classification of cashew kernels as white or scorched by using colour features. In this experiment, various colour features were extracted from the images. The extracted features include the means (μ), standard deviations (σ), and skewness (γ) of the channels in RGB and HSV colour spaces. The relevant features for this classification problem were selected by applying the wrapper approach using the Boruta Library in Python, and the irrelevant ones were removed. 5 models are studied and their efficiencies analysed. The studied models are Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbour. The Decision Tree model recorded the least accuracy of 98.4%. The maximum accuracy of 99.8% was obtained in the Random Forest model with 100 trees. Due to simplicity in application and high accuracy, the Random Forest is recommended as the best model from this study.

Published: December 2022

The features of the regional heterogeneity of the modern meteorological regime are assessed, as a refinement of existing estimates of large-scale climate changes – for the eastern part of the Baltic Sea catchment on the example of the Leningrad Region and nearby territories of neighbouring subjects of the Russian Federation (northern part of the region), as well as the Zapadnaya Dvina catchment within the Republic of Belarus (southern part of the region). Significant differences in surface air temperature and snow water equivalent (hereinafter referred to as snow storage) were revealed for the winter period, with similar precipitation, more intense interannual and long-term changes in the southern part of the region. The common feature for the region is the presence of a significant correlation of the long-term January – March atmospheric circulation indices variability only with the variability of surface air temperature, as well as minor differences in the number of anomalous years with similar anomaly amplitudes. Surface air temperature has the greatest contribution to the long-term variability of snow storage everywhere, which is most pronounced in the south of the region. The turning points in the long-term variability of surface air temperature coincide in the north and south of the region, the turning points in the course of total precipitation do not coincide. The number of anomalies (exceeding the standard deviation) in the long-term series of characteristics in the northern and southern parts of the region differ little (9–12 cases in the positive and negative ranges of values) in the absence of coincidences and the similarity of the amplitude of the anomalies. The range of values of extreme threshold values (extreme percentiles) of surface air temperature in the north of the region is lower than the range of values in the south, the variability of small percentiles exceeds the variability of large ones; the rate of long-term increase in average temperatures is accompanied by a significant increase in small percentiles in the north and large percentiles in the south of the region. The values of extreme threshold values of precipitation and their standard deviation vary little across the territory; positive trends in maximums and negative trends in minimum thresholds are small, consistent with a slight increase in mean total precipitation. According to the spatial distribution of average values of snow storage, the values of their extremely small and large threshold values in the north of the region are higher than in the south; in the north of the region, the values of percentiles in the interval 1985–2002 stand out as the lowest.

Authors: Faizah Rohmatul , Yusrina Jihan Avie
Published: December 2022

This study was based on the rise of issues in the name of religion in Indonesia and a response regarding the low tolerance attitude between Indonesian people towards the activities carried out by people with different religions. It is essential to reveal the best practice of harmony between the religious people as a reference in fostering a harmonious inter-religious life and dismissing the issues that have been reported louder than genuine tolerance. The best practice of this harmonious life could be found in Ngargoyoso Village, Karanganyar, Central Java, a village with multi-religious communities, such as Islam, Hinduism, and Christianity. Accordingly, this research will capture the tolerance condition in Ngargoyoso and uncover the implementation of tolerance and diversity in society. Qualitative research with a case study approach will answer these two questions. The result indicated that the harmony in Ngargoyoso has lived for a long time and has been maintained until now. The harmonious attitude was based on full awareness by the community. The spirit of cooperation also melts within society so that they have a sense of love for each other without considering religion. The implementation of tolerance and diversity was based on the appreciation of the value of Pancasila. Therefore, harmony and togetherness live. The limits of tolerance were also limited to social affairs and were not involved in matters of worship. Various efforts to maintain a well-established tolerance continue to be carried out, including assistance from outside parties and the holding of tolerance festivals.

Published: December 2022

Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli are two pathogenic bacteria of worldwide importance that can infect the gastrointestinal tract. Contamination in the food supply chain is an area of concern. Animal feed may be supplemented with essential trace elements, which function as nutritional additives to promote growth & health and optimize production. Bacteria have acquired many metal resistance genes to adapt to the exposure of metals. In this study, our objectives were to evaluate in S. enterica and E. coli, the correlation between the resistance genotype and phenotype to certain heavy metals, and the ability of conjugative plasmids to transfer antimicrobial resistance genes (AMRGs) and heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs). A total of 10 strains, five S. enterica and five E. coli, were used for this study. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined for heavy metals: copper, silver, arsenic, and tellurite. The tested isolates showed resistance to copper (5/10; 50%), arsenic (7/10; 70%), and silver (9/10; 90%). Cohen’s Kappa statistics were used to analyze genotype to phenotype agreements. Among the 10 strains sampled, the accordance between geno- and phenotypic heavy metal resistance was fair for copper (kappa = 0.4), none to slight for arsenic (kappa = 0.19) and tellurite (kappa = 0), and no agreement for silver (kappa = -0.19). The transfer of HMRGs was determined in a conjugation experiment performed for all five Salmonella strains as donors using mixed broth cultures. Transconjugants were obtained only from the genotypically tellurite-resistant strain PSU-3260, which yielded a transfer frequency of 10⁻³ transconjugants per donor. In such strain, the tellurite-resistant genes reside on an IncHI2-type plasmid that shares high DNA sequence identity with known HMRG-disseminating Salmonella plasmids. Our results indicated no considerable correlation between the geno- and phenotypic resistance towards heavy metals in the sampled S. enterica and E. coli. The necessity of research in this area is supported by the lack of standardized protocols and MIC clinical breakpoints for heavy metals. KEYWORDS: Heavy metal; resistance; Salmonella; E. coli; agriculture; genotype; phenotype; MIC

Terminalia catappa leaf, also known as Ketapang leaf, is well known for its medicinal properties and long history of use in aquaculture. Studies on the effects of leaf extracts on fish productivity are scarce. This study performed a time-series observation of ground young and mature T. catapppa leaves on tropical phytoplankton productivity. The young and mature leaves were prepared as fine powder separately. For the time-series experiment, 10 grams of each ground leaf were added to 10 L of lake water containing phytoplankton and incubated at room temperature with ambient illumination. The chlorophyll a saturation optical density was quantified on alternate days using a spectrophotometer and the data were analysed using Origin 6.0 Software. On Day 11, the chlorophyll a percentage had decreased by 73% and 81% in the control and mature leave treatment carboys, respectively. Meanwhile, the sample treated with young leaves of T. catappa showed only a 29% decrease. The results have shown that phytoplankton treated with young T. catappa powder demonstrated a positive but weak correlation (R² = 0.123), represented by the chlorophyll saturations. This study supported the hypothesis that young T. catappa leaves sustained phytoplankton growth.

Published: December 2022

This work was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of Morinda elliptica by determining the zone of growth inhibition of the leaf extract against selected bacterial and fungal strains. Antifungal and antibacterial properties of the extract at different concentrations (25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 μg/ml) were investigated after successive maceration in four solvents in order of increasing polarity [hexane (180 g), dichloromethane (342 g), ethyl acetate (471 g), and methanol (384)]. The agar disc diffusion method was used against selected human bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhii, Staphylococcus aureus, and the antifungal activity of the extract against Aspergillus brasiliences and A. flavus. Zones of growth inhibition of the extract were then compared with the standard antibiotic chloramphenicol (500 μg/ml) for the antibacterial activity, and against nystatin (500 μg/ml) for antifungal activity. The result of the study showed a remarkable bactericidal activity of the plant extract against the test organisms E. coli (14.667 + 0.577) and S. typhii (13.667 + 0.577) with a weak activity against the growth of S. aureus as compared to standard (21.667 + 0.577) at 500 μg/ml. The result of the antifungal activity showed considerable activity of the plant extract against the growth of A. brasiliences (11 + 0.1000) and weak activity against the growth A. flavus at 500 μg/ml. The findings of the study indicated that the leaf extract of M. elliptica is a reservoir of bioactive compounds. The compounds can be useful in the development of new pharmaceutical products that can be effective against human pathogenic strains E. coli and S. typhii. This could serve as a lead for understanding a novel mechanism of action in future research activities.
Tensiometric and Fluorescence Study of Cationic Gemini Surfactant with Some Special Alcohols
Authors: RIYAJ MOHAMMAD
Published: December 2022

Special alcohols have been used as additives to study interfacial properties of cationic Gemini surfactant pentanediyl- 1, 5-bis (dimethyldodecylammonium bromide) (12-5-12). As these branched chain alcohols (in comparison with linear chain alcohols) are playing a measure roll in creating a microemulsion with Gemini surfactants. The surface tension values were measured by using ring detachment method. During the experiments, the ring was cleaned well by heating it in alcohol flame. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) values were obtained from surface tension (γ) versus logCt plots. The γ values decreased continuously and then become constant along a wide concentration range. The point of break, when the constancy of surface tension begins, was taken as the cmc of the system. Calculated Parameters are cmc, Гmax (maximum surface excess concentration), Amin (minimum surface area per molecule), C20 (the concentration of surfactant where the surface tension of the solvent is being reduced by 20 mN.m-1),  (free energy of the given air/water interface), and the standard Gibbs energy of adsorption, ΔG­­0ads. An important property of micelle formation is the mean aggregation number which provides direct information about the general size and shape of the aggregates formed by amphiphiles in solution, and how these properties are related to the molecular structure of the amphiphiles. Mixed micellization behavior has been shown by these parameters. The mean aggregation number (Nagg­) of mixed micelles has been obtained by using the steady state fluorescence quenching method. Some other concerned parameters including dielectric constant (D), binding constant (KSV) were calculated in this study by using the ratio of intensity of peaks.

The article is focused on the study of threats and opportunities for the development of Ukraine’s international trade in transport services. The purpose of the study is to identify, based on the analysis of the state and structure of Ukraine’s international trade in transport services, the prospects and problems of the country's transport sector development in the new economic and geopolitical realities. Methods of study – methods of economic, system, historical and graphical analysis. As the result of the analysis, it was established that the efficiency of transport and transit potential available in Ukraine usage today is low. For a long time, pipeline transport dominated in export of transport services structure and share of this transport began to decrease only in recent years under the influence of external factors. It was determined that the full-scale war on the territory of Ukraine created a number of additional threats to the realization of the country's transport potential. The biggest problem of the transport sector today is the physical destruction of the rolling stock of transport enterprises and the destruction of the transport infrastructure. Today, the government is already taking measures to preserve the functioning of the transport infrastructure, carrying out restoration measures, and involves business in the reconstruction process. However, the government needs to support transport companies more actively in updating their fleet of vehicles, by promoting the use of leasing or partially covering vehicle purchase costs. Given the significant role of pipeline transport in the export structure, the reduction of gas transit through the Ukrainian gas transport system creates a threat of country losing its transit status. Neutralization of this problem requires the government to intensify diplomatic activity with the aim of involving Ukraine in the transit of energy carriers to Europe from alternative sources. In addition, it is advisable to study the technical possibilities and economic feasibility of reorienting the Ukrainian gas transportation system to the transportation of biomethane or hydrogen. In addition to the mentioned problems, opportunities for the development of the international trade in transport services, which have arisen to date, have been identified. It has been established that Ukraine's involvement in international initiatives, joining regional alliances and signing agreements in the field of transport with the EU will allow maintaining the functioning of the country's transport sector during the war; create prerequisites for rapid post-war recovery, more active involvement of Ukraine in the European transport network, further active development of the transport sector and more complete realization of the country's existing transit potential.

Robust Facility Location of Container Clinics: A South African Application
Authors: Karsten C. , Bean W. L. , Heerden Q. Van
Published: January 2023

There is a lack of dynamic facility location models for developing countries that consider the changes in the problem environment over time, such as patient population and population migration. Therefore, this paper focuses on using optimization and goal programming to locate health care facilities in an uncertain environment using multiple possible future urban development senarios. To achieve this, a robust multi-objective facility location model is developed and used to determine locations for container clinic deployment over multiple years in selected communities in South Africa. A synthetic population and urban growth simulation model are used to estimate population density and distribution from 2018 to 2030 for three development senarios. The results from the urban growth simulation model are then used as input into the facility location model to locate facilities whilst considering the three future development scenarios. Results of the model indicate that the robust model can be used to find locations that provide a relatively good solution to all considered development scenarios, providing key role players with quantitative decision support during network design under uncertainty. An accessibility analysis investigates the impact of the prescribed accessibility percentage on model results and a budget analysis evaluates the impact of a case that includes a budget constraint. From these two analyses it is illustrated that the model is sensitive to changes in parameters and that the model can be used by key stakeholders to combine network design and urban development planning for improved decision making.

Published: January 2023

In this article, we formulate the concept of generalize bonvexity/pseudobonvexity functions. We formulate duality results for second-order fractional symmetric dual programs of G-Wolfe-type model. In the next section, we explain the duality theorems under generalize bonvexity/pseudobonvexity assumptions. We identify a function lying exclusively in the class of generalize pseudobonvex and not in class of generalize bonvex functions. Our results are more generalized several known results in the literature.
Typological characteristics of interlanguage: Across L2 modalities and proficiency levels

Published: January 2023

In recent years, quantitative methods have been increasingly used in interlanguage studies, but these studies have mostly focused on the micro level with an emphasis on certain syntactic structures, rather than the macro where interlanguage is perceived as a whole. There remains a paucity of quantitative studies on interlanguage from the typological perspective. With the majority of the studies focused on the written interlanguage, there is also a lack of sufficient research on its spoken modality. Based on a syntactically annotated corpus and using the quantitative linguistic metric of dependency direction, we have investigated the typological changes in the Chinese interlanguage in both written and spoken modalities. The findings are as follows: (1) the typological features of interlanguage vary across modalities at both macro and micro levels; (2) dependency direction is proved to be an inappropriate indicator to measure the general typological characteristics of interlanguage development due to its failure to reflect the changes in the spoken modality; (3) both macro and micro perspectives taken into consideration, typological errors in the interlanguage is more likely to occur in the spoken modality than in the written one, in which learners may be restricted by greater time pressure and cognitive load in utterance. These factors may affect the distribution of dependency direction in the oral modality, and may be the reason why it is not appropriate to use dependency direction as a measure of changes in mediated language typological features in the oral modality. It is expected that our study will bring insight into second language research with more objective and holistic evidence.
Modlitwy Kazimierza Wierzyńskiego
Authors: Danielewiczowa Magdalena
Published: January 2023

This paper presents and discusses two main theses. Firstly, the author claims that, contrary to what is commonly thought, neither the subject matter nor the meaning of Kazimierz Wierzyński’s later poems differ significantly from the topics taken up in his debut volumes. The poet never lost his youthful faith in the order of the world, nor did he quench his admiration for the work of creation. It is the main and essential feature of his poetry. Secondly, an important element of Wierzyński’s poems, which reveals itself in various forms and shapes, is prayer. This form of expression is referenced directly in many titles and often functions as the central theme of the poems. Moreover, many of Wierzyński’s works represent exactly this speech genre. His volumes contain poetic prayers differing thematically and functionally, for all seasons and all times of
a day, for various holidays, celebrations, and other occasions. The poetry by Kazimierz Wierzyński is in fact one big prayer of supplication, humility, delight, and thanksgivings.
Keywords: poetic language – Kazimierz Wierzyński – speech genres – prayer.
