Cómo crear una verdadera equidad de género para distinguirla de una falsa equidad de género
Authors: Atagua-Díaz Zulay
Published: December 2024

La equidad de género ha ganado relevancia en las últimas décadas, particularmente en políticas públicas y en el ámbito empresarial. Sin embargo, con el aumento de la visibilidad del tema también surge la falsa equidad de género, cuando las acciones parecen igualitarias en la superficie pero no abordan las barreras sistémicas que mantienen la desigualdad. Este estudio se centra en identificar las diferencias entre la equidad de género auténtica y las prácticas organizacionales superficiales que aparentan ser equitativas. Utilizando un diseño cualitativo basado en el análisis documental y la técnica de análisis en progreso se observó que, a pesar de los avances en la representación femenina y las reformas estructurales, muchas organizaciones persisten en prácticas superficiales que simulan equidad de género sin implementar cambios culturales reales. Se concluye que, para una verdadera equidad de género, no bastan las políticas inclusivas y las reformas estructurales, sino un cambio cultural que desafíe las normas patriarcales y promueva nuevas masculinidades en el entorno laboral.

Published: January 2025

The study is dedicated to the problem of human capital loss due to harmful working conditions, violations of occupational safety legislation, and other social risks in the labor sphere. The article aims to determine the trends and features of the dynamics of the working conditions indicators in Ukraine in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, decent work criteria, and risks of preserving human capital associated with Russian military aggression. The authors use desk research methods, statistical methods to analyze the dynamics and structure of indicators of official statistics, and administrative data on occupational diseases, injuries, and industrial accidents, considering the SDG monitoring program in Ukraine. The study results showed that in Ukraine in 2016-2022, the level of social risks in the field of occupational safety remained high. The main contributors include a significant amount of employment in the informal sector of the economy, the limited ability of inspectors of the State Labor Service of Ukraine to prevent violations in the field of labor safety and occupational health, the low level of legal culture and awareness of employees with harmful working conditions, insufficient level of employer social and economic motivation to provide decent health and safety performance Due to Russian military aggression, the crisis factors of occupational safety are expanding significantly. Systemic solutions in state regulation of employee safety and health are paramount to prevent and reduce their negative impact. Such decisions should take into account the provisions of the Agreement on the Ukraine-EU Association, the International Labor Organization, ratified by Ukraine, the need to develop and implement new standards for professional risks management and their integration into the general management system of the enterprise, increasing the effectiveness of state control over compliance with labor legislation, and economic incentives for employers to provide decent working conditions following the Sustainable Development Goals

Published: January 2025

The current report assesses the effect of Big Data and Business Intelligence on sustainability initiatives and effectiveness of operations of an organization in the United States; specifically, it considers the cases of UPS and Walmart. This study employed the mixed-method approach, including a quantitative analysis by descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests besides carrying out a qualitative content analysis of case studies and literature. It would, therefore, emerge that UPS has managed to achieve this with a 7.1% decrease in its operational cost while lowering the release of CO2 emissions to a 5%. As regards Walmart, it also has an achievement on record about energy consumption by a decline of 20%, which further enhanced inventory turn around. The thematic analysis emerges in three themes as coming out: data-driven information into decision-making, attempts toward sustainability and environmental-related efforts, and how effectiveness comes about with process streamlining of operations. Despite these successes, challenges such as high initial investment costs and data privacy concerns prevent them from reaching wider use, especially among smaller organizations. Conclusion In this regard, it is realized that although Big Data and BI are of utmost importance in promoting sustainability, the financial and ethical challenges associated with them need to be solved before full realization can be achieved. The recommendations for the future include development of a Big Data strategy that could align with sustainability goals, manages investments and data governance-related problems in small companies.

Simulation of Conductive Fabric Shielding Effectiveness at 0.6 - 2.6 GHz via Transmission Line Analysis
Authors: - Omar Abdul Aziz
Published: January 2025

Protection of devices and systems in the presence of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) could be realised with the introduction of EM shielding that limit signal wave propagation within an area of interest only. This project attempts to characterise shielding effectiveness (SE) of shielding materials at 0.6 - 2.6 GHz that are currently made available for numerous current and next-generation wireless technology applications. Future technology applications would be driven by intense device-to-device communication taking place very close to one another. Ensuring SE through signal wave absorption instead of signal reflection alone is critical to reduce possible disruption of adjacent wireless system. In order to achieve sufficient SE at investigated frequencies, EM shield need to be designed from different materials that could exhibit high electrical conductivity and high magnetic permeability. Conductive materials in fabric form have potential to achieve strong SE while allowing more freedom in the design process and easy deployment. This study would involve theoretical calculation and simulation using CST Studio Suite Student Edition of reflection and absorption losses as well as SE for materials that were selected based on ease of availability off-the-shelf in fabric-form thickness.
Linguistic Variation and Change in Bhojpuri
Authors: - Ranjan Kumar
Published: January 2025

Bhojpuri is a Bihari language, spoken primarily in the western part of the state of Bihar and the eastern part of the state of Uttar Pradesh. As per Grierson (1903), two copular forms have been attested in Bhojpuri in the Present Tense: -h and -ba. H was the minority form that was restricted in use, and ba was the dominant form. Over the years, due to mobility and contact with the neighbouring areas of Hajipur and Patna, it is proposed that -h forms have seen a rise in the daily use and frequency of speech. We have taken a diachronic sociohistorical perspective to deal with the issue of dialect contact and change in this paper. Multivariate analysis is done as a standard statistical tool to analyse different socio-regional factors.
Effect of Interest Rates, Economic Growth and Inflation on Profitability in Mining Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Veronica Meilin , Sari Rafika
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the impact of interest rates, economic growth, and inflation on the profitability of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Profitability is measured using Return on Assets. (ROA). The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements and macroeconomic data from Bank Indonesia and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) during the period 2020-2022. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression. The research results indicate that the analysis shows that interest rates have a negative and significant impact on the profitability of mining companies. This is consistent with financial theory, which states that an increase in interest rates raises the cost of capital and reduces company profits. Economic growth has a positive and significant impact on the profitability of mining companies. When the economy grows, the demand for mining products increases, which positively impacts the revenue and profitability of the company. Inflation has a negative but insignificant effect on the profitability of mining companies. Although inflation can increase operational costs, mining companies may be able to offset the impact of inflation through adjustments in product selling prices. Mining companies are expected to manage macroeconomic factors more effectively to enhance their profitability, and the companies should develop risk management strategies, diversification and expansion, cost management in inflationary conditions, and macroeconomic analysis to formulate business strategies that are more adaptive and responsive to changing economic conditions.
Keywords: Interest rates, Economic growth, Inflation, Profitability, Mining companies.
Partecipazione
Authors: Božić Milica
Published: December 2024

This essay investigates Partecipazione, the exhibition curated by architecture collective AKT based in Vienna and Hermann Czech for the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, ‘The Laboratory of the Future’, held in 2023. Partecipazione was conceptualised as an interior intervention dividing the pavilion space into two parts—one for the Biennale and one for Venice. The pavilion, connected with the city through the proposed bridge crossing over the wall of Giardini, would host various activities open to the residents of Saint Elena Island. Although Partecipazione sought to engage a broader audience and foster community participation, concerns appeared regarding its impact on the pavilions’ and Giardini’s architectural heritage, leading to the suspension of the proposal in the process. However, curators decided to expose the rejection and exhibit the unfinished interior of the pavilion while, at the same time, shifting the focus to preservation issues present within the institution of the Biennale. Despite remaining unbuilt as initially conceptualised, Partecipazione initiated a dialogue about the challenges of architectural preservation in Venice and the Biennale’s role in shaping the city.
The essay critically examines Partecipazione’s trajectory, from the conceptualisation and design to rejection, and considers its broader implications on contemporary architectural and exhibition practice and audiences. The essay will draw on the interview conducted with AKT, which provided valuable information and insights into the curatorial and architectural processes surrounding the exhibition. Through analysing tensions between experimentation and preservation narratives, the essay offers insights into the evolving role of architectural exhibitions as platforms for expanding architectural discourses and practices. It argues that precisely due to remaining unbuilt, Partecipazione exemplified the transformative potential of an architectural exhibition to challenge architectural discourses. Finally, this essay aims to contribute to the legacy of Partecipazione by examining how its unbuilt nature and incompleteness provoke critical questions about the role of architectural exhibitions, the coexistence of temporary interventions with heritage, and the transformative potential of experimental and open-ended exhibition practices.
‘From the Horror of Us and Our Surroundings’
Authors: Brown Alex , Morgan Tom , Edwards Charity
Published: December 2024

Superstudio’s Le dodici città ideali (‘The Twelve Ideal Cities’) appeared in various formats within numerous architectural magazines between 1971 and 1974 as a series of collaged drawings of cities accompanied by short texts and occasionally containing cautionary epilogues with reader ‘tests’. Readings of the project often foreground the speculative or ‘visionary’ potential of the city images: unbuilt architectural representations describing a series of terrifying scenarios for the future of the urban environment. This essay looks beyond individual images of Le dodici città ideali to examine the textual content and contexts of its multiple published forms, departing from this future-focused framing and instead highlighting the project’s unwavering concern with the past and present.
In the pages of 都市住宅 (Toshi Jutaku), AD, Casabella, Archithèese, Architektur Aktuell, Αρχιτεκτονικά Θέματα (Architektoniká Thémata), and Cree, Superstudio’s intertwined textual and image-based descriptions of the city leveraged the architectural magazine to speak directly to the profession. Laminating the language and imagery of science fiction with references to magic, myth, and history, Superstudio choreographed a series of grand reveals: holding a mirror to the architect-reader placed within the late-capitalist conditions of their labour inside the pages of the architectural magazine.
Through a close reading of two published versions of Le dodici città ideali—‘Twelve Cautionary Tales for Christmas: Premonitions of the Mystical Rebirth of Urbanism’ in the December 1971 issue of AD, and ‘Premonizioni della parusia urbanistica’ (Premonitions on the Mystical Rebirth of Urbanism) in Casabella in January 1972—we highlight Superstudio’s deliberate rejection of architectural design as a future-oriented exercise. Focusing on contextualising the work within the architectural magazine format, we suggest that the cities of Le dodici città ideali cannot be thought of purely as ‘unbuilt’. Rather, the project sets in motion an architecture of unbuilding through its capacity to reveal ‘the horror of us and our surroundings’ as conditions that already exist in the 1970s. By examining Le dodici città ideali as an ‘architecture of unbuilding’, we consider how published images and text can unbuild existing conditions, prioritising the retrospective and destructive character of architectural design within the context of the architectural magazine.
Gone-built
Authors: Simmonds Rachel
Published: December 2024

Built interiors do not last indefinitely, or indeed stay untouched, but interiors cannot be categorised so clearly as built and unbuilt, existing and not existing. There is another state to recognise in relation to them, and that is what this essay explores and refers to as the gone-built interior. These are interiors that were designed for a specific function for a defined period of time. During their existence they remained untouched, and while no longer physically around, they have left behind traces in archives. The remaining artefacts and ephemera of their existence allow us to investigate this phenomenon of temporariness in more detail, and consider elements of their definition that have relevance to our wider interiors discourse. They allow us to consider our processes as designers in ways that other categories of the unbuilt do not and invite experimentation and boldness of design in a way that more permanent interiors cannot. This essay uses the Finnish architectural practice the Aalto Atelier as a study, due to the form and number of exhibitions they undertook, and the long time period over which this engagement happened. It unpacks three key themes around the gone-built, in relation to their exhibition designs: elemental spolia, indicative representation, and propaganda. Finally, it demonstrates how the gone-built is an important state to understand as interior designers, and how we can use it to support our interior design ideas and practices by engaging with the opportunity for experimentation in design, sustainable practice, and dissemination of ideas it provides.
No-Stop City as Building
Authors: Blankenbaker Sarah
Published: December 2024

Archizoom’s hypothetical project of 1969–72 is the ultimate interior. Comprised of a floor, ceiling, and grid of columns, No-Stop City stretches infinitely in all directions, potentially consuming the whole world in its fluorescently lit belly. The project and its aims are commonly thought of in relation to other radical and speculative projects of the 1960s and 1970s—those of Archigram and Superstudio, for example—and to the sociocultural critique they posed. However, it also belongs within another lineage of architectural discourse, which might be said to run from the polemic image of a co-op interior published by Hannes Meyer in 1926 to the diagrams and sketches of Claude Parent and Paul Virilio arguing for the oblique as a mode of inhabitation for Architecture Principe (1966) to the perspective drawing of boxers inside a locker room made by Madelon Vreisendorp for Rem Koolhaas’s seminal publication, Delirious New York (1978). This second set of unbuilt projects is inseparable from the critique engaged by those of the first group, yet the discourse is differently centred. While all are equally theoretical in nature, the first set ultimately led away from buildings and toward their contents—to furniture and installations—while the second reinforced buildings and their constituent elements as the domains of influence. This essay examines the double life of No-Stop City by comparing it to these two sets of projects, each of which raise questions about the notion of building. In place of building-as-form, these readings of Archizoom’s unbuilt interior offer building-as-act, as an action tied to unbuilding, rebuilding, and reconceiving of the limits and possibilities of both contemporary life and the discipline of architecture.
Uncanny Doubling
Authors: Suess Prof Eleanor
Published: December 2024

The architect and spatial designer necessarily treats as ‘real’ the unbuilt building latent in their representations, doubling their conceptual and perceptual understanding of what is simultaneously there and not-there. One form of architectural representation particularly embodies this nature of presence and absence—the physical model. Inhabiting the same space as the designer, the materially present artefact of the model projects a larger version of itself into the mind of its viewer, while maintaining its own small ‘realness’. I suggest that in the reading of the physical model, and potentially in photographs and films taken from the model, this uncanny doubling lends an increased level of viewer spatial engagement than other forms of three-dimensional representation.
In my transdisciplinary art/architecture practice I explore the uncanny nature of the physical model in relation to built and unbuilt architectures. Through the employment of recursive models of models, of models, of models, I foreground the viewer’s acts of perceptual construction, while challenging their understanding of what is ‘real’. Forms of mise en abyme permeate cultural references, where doubling occurs and reoccurs, producing in their viewers that fundamentally uncanny place of the ‘abyme’, or abyss. I seek to make work that magnifies the viewer’s uncanny experience through the production of physical model replicas of existing rooms and galleries, which each contain a model replica of the model, and so on, until the physical limitations of the material halt the recursive iteration. These pieces ultimately bring the built ‘real’ interior/building into the realm of model, of the unbuilt, but still physically, materially, and spatially present.
Constructing an Endless Interior
Authors: McCormack Craig
Published: December 2024

Manfredo Tafuri, writing on Piranesi’s prison etchings, contests that from the period of the Enlightenment, the understanding of the city-as-inside and nature-as-outside has been permanently altered: the built environment is now everywhere, and nature subjugated within its global system. Through a series of increasingly complex artificial habitats, this ongoing terrestrial project of global interiorisation has extended outwards, culminating in the extraordinary vernacular space architecture of the International Space Station (ISS).
On the one hand, this nascent cosmic extension of Piranesi’s labyrinth represents the summit of Earth’s interiorisation—a process that extends to incorporate its orbital systematisation and the transposition of its instrumentalised environment. However, as this essay illustrates, the built environment’s access to outer space is not only the acme of terrestrial interiorisation but also the genesis of a potentially limitless, unbuilt interior project.
This visual-based research essay deploys a series of hand-drawn illustrations that reference and pay homage to the engraved plates of the Carceri series and .mile-Antoine Bayard’s illustrations that accompanied Jules Verne’s proto-modern fiction. Concrete poetry mediates and informs the relationship between these illustrations and the written text. This doubly illustrative methodology seeks to synthesise and augment the abstract aspects of the essay visually. The purposeful ambiguity inherent in the referenced graphic style of the selected illustrators advances the viewer’s interpretation. As per its graphic precedents, it provides a tangible spatial reference for the progressive conceptual interiorisation of outer space as a consequence of the built environment’s expansion beyond terrestrial horizons.
Tales from the Green Line
Authors: Abudayyeh Rana
Published: December 2024

Beirut, Lebanon, is a city marked by a complex and often turbulent history, reflected in the resilience and endurance of its built environment. The intertwining narratives of destruction and recovery are vividly embodied in the city’s architecture. This essay examines the adaptive reuse of Beirut’s iconic Egg Building, located on the Green Line that divided the city during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990). As both a war ruin and cultural landmark, the Egg Building symbolises Beirut’s past turmoil and its aspirations for renewal. It encapsulates the multifaceted processes of post-war recovery and transformation.
Drawing from the visionary ideas of Lebbeus Woods and the critical theories of Paul Virilio, this essay presents the Egg Building as a catalyst for narrative reconstruction in Beirut. Virilio’s analysis of war relics provides a framework for understanding the historical layers ingrained in the building, while Woods’s focus on unbuilt architecture offers a theoretical basis for redesigning its interior spaces to facilitate healing and revitalisation. Through the work of Lebanese architects and a third-year interior architecture design studio at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, this essay explores how the Egg Building’s scars and stories can be woven into the collective memory of a city recovering from conflict. These unbuilt proposals illustrate how speculative interiors can inspire new narratives and contribute to Beirut’s ongoing regeneration by reframing the building as a domain of active engagement, where past traumas are negotiated rather than erased, and future aspirations are envisioned. Through experimental design approaches, these proposals empower communities to reimagine their urban landscape, turning a symbol of conflict into a living archive of resilience and possibility.

Bu çalışmanın amacı öğretmenlerin öz yeterlikleri ile iş çevresine uyum davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada, ilişkisel tarama modeli tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni, 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılı İstanbul ili Esenyurt ilçesindeki ilkokul ve ortaokullarda çalışan 3282 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Örneklemi ise bu evrenden basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen 542 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın verilerini elde etmek için Schmitz ve Schwarzer (2000) tarafından geliştirilen ve Yılmaz vd. (2004) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “Öğretmen Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği”, Demirkasımoğlu’nun (2012) geliştirdiği “Öğretmenlerin İş Çevresine Uyum Ölçeği” ve “Kişisel Bilgiler Formu” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS programı ile yapılmıştır. Analizler neticesinde öğretmenlerin öz yeterliklerinin ortanın üzerinde bir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin öz yeterlikleri; medeni durum, eğitim kademesi ve öğrenim durumu gibi değişkenlere göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterirken cinsiyet, branş ve mesleki kıdem değişkenlerine göre anlamlı farklılıklar göstermediği görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin iş çevresine uyum davranışlarının ortanın üzerinde bir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin iş çevresine uyum davranışları; medeni durum, eğitim kademesi ve branş değişkenine göre anlamlı farklılıklar gösterirken cinsiyet, öğrenim durumu ve mesleki kıdem değişkenleri açısından anlamlı farklılıklar göstermediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin öz yeterlikleri ile iş çevresine uyum davranışları arasında korelâsyon yapılmıştır ve orta düzeyde pozitif yönde ve anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur.

Bu çalışma, akademisyenlerin dijitalleşme algılarını ölçmeye yönelik bir ölçek geliştirme sürecini kapsamaktadır. Akademisyenlerin dijitalleşme algılarının ölçülmesi, dijitalleşmenin akademik yaşam üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılmasına yardımcı olabilir. Bu sayede dijitalleşmenin eğitim süreçlerine entegrasyonunun iyileştirilmesi ve akademik verimliliğin artırılması için önemli bilgiler sunabilir. Ölçek geliştirme sürecinde tümdengelim yöntemi ile ulusal ve uluslararası alanyazın taranarak, 68 maddelik bir madde havuzu oluşturulmuştur. Uzman görüşleri ve yapılan geçerlik analizleri sonucunda madde sayısı 54’e indirilmiştir. Pilot çalışmada elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda kapsam geçerliliği ve madde geçerliliği analizleri yapılmış, 405 akademisyenle gerçekleştirilen ana çalışmada ölçeğe ait faktör yapısı doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılarak doğrulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, akademisyenlerin dijitalleşme algılarını tek faktörlü bir yapı ile ölçen 17 maddelik ölçeğin yüksek güvenilirlik düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir (Cronbach’s Alpha: .965). Geliştirilen ölçeğin, akademik dijitalleşme süreçlerine dair algıların ölçülmesinde ve bu alandaki çalışmalara katkı sağlayacak önemli bir araç olduğu düşünülmektedir.
Validity and User Satisfaction of Educational Applications for Preventive Care of Diabetic Foot Wounds: A Study in Elderly Diabetes Sufferers

Published: January 2025

Background: Education on using smartphone applications among the elderly to prevent diabetic foot wounds is still limited. Especially if someone pays attention to the limitations of older people with diabetes, such as their lack of mastery in using smartphones, an educational application for preventing diabetic foot wounds, named Rawat Kaki, has been developed by considering various aspects that make it easier for older people to use. This application must be tested for validity and evaluated to obtain an overview of the satisfaction of its users.
Methods: The design of this study was exploratory quantitative to see the validity of the application and respondent satisfaction using the Rawat Kaki App. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 140 respondents from the population of Persadia (Indonesian Diabetes Association) members at the RSUD: Surakarta City, Sragen, Salatiga, Klaten Islamic Hospital, and PrambananSleman Yogyakarta Hospital. Five diabetes experts in the medical and nursing fields conduct content validity. Furthermore, respondents tested it three times to measure their satisfaction using the EUCS (End User Computing Satisfaction) questionnaire.
Results: The content validity test obtained a value of 1.02 and an alpha Cronbach reliability value of 0.765, so the Rawat Kaki application was declared feasible. Then, the data is collected through a regression test, obtaining an R-value of 0.689, which means 68.9% of application user satisfaction can be explained through the Rawat Kaki application.
Conclusion: The high validity and satisfaction of respondents might be a reason to consider using this educational application.
