Published: May 2023

Refrigerator and air conditioners are the most energy consuming home appliances and for this reason many researchers had performed work to enhance performance of the refrigeration systems. Most of the research work done so far deals with an objective of low energy consumption and refrigeration effect enhancement. Thermoelectric refrigeration is one of the techniques used for producing refrigeration effect. Thermoelectric devices are developed based on Peltier and Seeback effect which has experienced a major advances and developments in recent years. The coefficient of performance of the thermoelectric refrigeration is less when it is used alone, hence thermoelectric refrigeration is often used with other methods of refrigeration. This paper presents a review of some work been done on the thermoelectric refrigeration over the years. Some of the research and development work carried out by different researchers on TER system has been thoroughly reviewed in this paper. The study envelopes the various applications of TER system and development of devices. This paper summarizes the advancement in thermoelectric refrigeration, thermoelectric materials, design methodologies, application in domestic appliances and performance enhancement techniques based on the literature.

Published: May 2023

In this paper, approximation of space fractional order diffusion equation are considered using compact finite difference technique to discretize the time derivative, which was then approximated via shifted Gegenbauer polynomials using zeros of (N - 1) degree shifted Gegenbauer polynomial as collocation points. The important feature in this approach is that it reduces the problems to algebraic linear system of equations together with the boundary conditions gives (N + 1) linear equations. Some theorems are given to establish the convergence and the stability of the proposed method. To validate the efficiency and the accuracy of the method, obtained results are compared with the existing results in the literature. The graphical representation are also displayed for various values of \beta Gegenbauer polynomials. It can be observe in the tables of the results and figures that the proposed method performs better than the existing one in the literature.
Stakeholder Salience Analysis in the Policy Formulation of Anti-Violence Against Women and Children
Authors: Marzaniar Putri , Subarsono Agustinus
Published: May 2023

This article explores stakeholders influence in the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children by using the stakeholder salience model as a conceptual framework. Stakeholder engagement in policy formulation is essential to achieving optimal policy practise and performance. However, the contestation of interests and imbalance of power between stakeholders in the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children inhibit the development of policy alternatives based on problem solving, resulting in low policy performance. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach, and the stakeholder analysis method is applied to the data analysis. The research findings demonstrate that the policy formulation of anti-violence against women and children is dominated by dependent stakeholders with only power and legitimacy attributes, while the attributes of urgency are not available, reflected in their inattentiveness in providing a quick response to the rising cases of violence and their lack of knowledge on the issue of violence. This study concludes that stakeholders' influence in the policy process is limited. Stakeholders are only involved during public hearings, and the policy is only drafted and discussed by the policy elite, specifically Commission VI of the Aceh Legislative Council, an expert’s team, and the Aceh Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Unit. It indicates that stakeholder engagement is only to gain legitimacy for policy decisions. This research contributes to providing knowledge about stakeholder dynamics in policy formulation contexts and theoretical knowledge about the creation of the most powerful and influential stakeholders for maximising policy formulation and policy performance.
Development of Recommended Dietary Allowance-Compliant Databases on Water-Soluble and Fat-Soluble Vitamins in India
Authors: Madhavi Simhadri , Yetukuri Koushik
Published: May 2023

Background: Every nutrient has distinctive qualities and benefits a person's physical health. Nutrients are the fuel we need to enable the body to break down food and then put this to use in the body to repair and build cells and tissue, which is our metabolism. Although vitamins are just as important for health as macronutrients like fats and carbohydrates, they are required in far smaller quantities. They are crucial for many regular body processes, including cell development and reproduction, but their role in the cell's energy-processing capacity is crucial. A vitamin's ability to be absorbed, retained, and excreted by the body determines whether it is referred to as "fat-soluble" or "water-soluble". Objective: The main objective of this article is to provide standards that serve as a goal for good nutrition. Method: This study is presented as a narrative commentary based on the information gathered from the various websites. Results and Discussion: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) and adequate intake (AI) are the amounts of a vitamin or minerals you require to maintain good health and adequate nutrition. A minimal number of fat-soluble vitamins are required by the body to maintain good health. The immune system, muscle and heart function, blood supply and clots, eye health, and other bodily processes all depend on fat-soluble vitamins to function properly. Providing coenzymes for vital metabolic processes, water-soluble vitamins perform a vital role.
Suriye Sanatında Savaşın Görsel İzleri
Authors: KARAGÖL Aynur
Published: May 2023

Suriye, coğrafi olarak yer aldığı konumu itibariyle ilahi dinlerin ortaya çıktığı ve antik dönemlerin yaşandığı çok katmanlı coğrafyaya sahiptir. Ülkenin insanları sanata yatkın ve kozmopolit şehirleriyle çok kültürlü bir ortamı paylaşmışlardır. 16. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren Osmanlı Devleti sınırlarında yer alan Suriye, 19.yy itibariyle Osmanlı’nın Batı etkisinde kalan sanat ve sosyal hayatının benzer şekilde etkisine girmiştir. I. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında Fransız mandası olması sebebiyle de baskın bir Fransız kültürü söz konusudur. 1950’li yıllarda ise Arap milliyetçiliği sosyal sanat hayatına etki etmiştir. Bu dönemde Suriyeli sanatçıların alegori, hiciv ve gerçekçilikle alakalı çalışmaları dikkat çekicidir. 1960’ların sonlarına gelindiğinde Arap-İsrail savaşı yaşanmıştır. Bu dönemde Suriye’deki siyasi durumun kötüye gitmesi ve sürecin karmaşıklaşması nedeniyle sanatçılar yeni bir nesnellik biçimi geliştirmiştir. Durgun ve zorunlu sessizlikle geçen Esed yönetiminin ilk 20 yılından sonra 1990’larda sanat ortamı canlanmıştır. Şam Güzel Sanat Fakültesi ve özel grup ve galeriler canlılığı sağlamıştır. Ancak yanı başlarında devam eden savaşlar ülkede yaşayan sanatçıları derinden etkilemiş ve işlerine yansımıştır. Son olarak 2011’de Arap Baharı diye adlandırılan Ortadoğu ve Mağribi Müslüman ülkelerdeki protestolar Suriye’de bir iç savaş çıkmasıyla sonuçlanmıştır. Savaş nedeniyle sanatçılar Dubai, İstanbul, Beyrut gibi şehirlerde sanat faaliyetlerini sürdürürken bir kısım sanatçı da Batı ülkelerine göç etmiştir. Sanatçıların eserlerinde yaşadıkları savaşa ve onun derin izlerine rastlanmaktadır. Bu eserler, bazen tuval üzerinde bazen bir enstalasyon-yerleştirme bazen de fotoğraf ve video gibi bir çağdaş sanat işi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma; Suriye çağdaş sanatı üzerine literatür taraması ile konunun örnek eserler üzerinden yorumlanmasından oluşmaktadır. Makalenin amacı sanatçıların savaşın etkileri ile sanat eserlerinde nasıl bir görsellikle reaksiyon gösterdiğinin incelenmesidir.
Theory of East Asia and Eastern Eurasia in Korean Ancient History Studies
Authors:   Institute for Historical Studies at Chung-Ang University, KOMIYA Hidetaka
Published: May 2023

Under the Cold War system, studies were conducted that positioned Korea in Asia, and the United States constructed an ancient East Asian world centered on China in the framework of tributary relations(조공). Korean researchers created new concepts such as tribute-investiture relations(조공·책봉) with a critical mindset to solve the problem of China-centrism. The collapse of the Cold War generated interest in new historical worlds, leading to a review of marine history, maritime history, and East Asian history.
The pluralism and multilayeredness of “Korea” will be discussed, along with broader regional theories such as East Eurasia(동부유라시아). At that time, the discourse of the region created through the nation-state, such as the Korean narrative, becomes an issue to be kept in mind. Therefore, an analysis of multilayered narratives in space and time is necessary.

Published: May 2023

The racial migration of Jurchen people was the moving of kin-groups around especially blood relationship. The southward migration of Jurchen people was tribe group’s military movement around blood relationship like families. As the national agriculture with a collectivist system known as the Miŋgan Moumukə[猛安謀克] in the Jin dynasty was advanced southward, the migration had personality of military organization groups. Because the migration was for improved military and the control of occupied territory.
In the early age of the Jin dynasty, the movement to northeast of Jurchen people was in military and political aspects. By winning the battle of Ningjianzhou[寧江州], Jurchen people expended their influence in the northeast area and established the Jin dynasty, and also a need arose for govern effectively of the occupied territory. The Jurchen’s movement was enforced between Emperor Taizu[太祖] and Taizong[太宗] of Jin. The movement of this period shows characteristics of collectivity aroud blood relationship as familial and military organization group.
The representative migrant regions of Jurchen people were Huanglongfu[黃龍府], Beijinglu[北京路], Xianpinglu[咸平路], Dongjinglu[東京路] and so on. Huanglongfu was a stretegic point of military and transportaion. Also there were a residence of mostly Balhea people and Han chinese. Wangan Loushitsu[完顔婁室] came with about a hundred thousand people and resided there. The migration was enforced mostly in the regime of Emperor Taizu, and the migrators were mostly from Gallanlu[曷懶路]. The Jurchen people of Shangjinglu[上京路] moved to Beijinglu. The migration to Xianpinglu and Dongjinglu was enforced in the regime of Emperor Taizong, and the migrators came from mostly Beijinglu and Gallanlu.
Eficacia, seguridad y eficiencia de dispositivos de drenaje subconjuntival con aproximación ab-interno para cirugía del glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto
Authors: Prieto Lucía , Muñoz Celia , Fuentemilla Enrique , Salas Montserrat , Blas María P.
Published: May 2023

This report focuses on Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), caused by a progressive obstruction of aqueous humour drainage channels, which leads to a subsequent increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). The main goal when treating POAG is to reduce IOP and/or prevent it from increasing further. To this end, the main treatments used are either drug-based or laser trabeculoplasty. If it is not possible to control IOP with drugs or laser trabeculoplasty, the most appropriate surgical intervention is a trabeculectomy. Generally speaking, the trabeculectomy is an effective treatment for reducing IOP, but there is a risk of complications: hypotonia; hyphaema or bleeding in the anterior chamber; formation of cataracts; or infection, among others. Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is an alternative to the trabeculectomy when treating POAG. A technique within this treatment is the XEN®45 implant. At present, it is the only ab-internal approach drainage implant that allows for subconjunctival aqueous humour outflow. XEN®45 can have the following results: a sustained reduction in IOP, reduction in complications, possibility of repeat treatment of tissue in future, and reduced implant rejection.

Malaria merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat utama di propinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Kasus malaria di Nusa Tenggara Timur tertinggi kedua di Indonesia setelah Papua. Annual Parasite Insindence (API) pada kelompok berisiko yaitu bayi 16 per 1000 dan ibu hamil 6 per 1000, khusus data ibu hamil belum dapat menggambarkan kondisi nyata karena rendahnya skrining malaria di NTT yaitu 47 persen ( Unicef Kupang, 2016).  Kedua kelompok bersiko ini memiliki dampak yang buruk jika terinfeksi malaria. penelitian kualitatif yang dilakukan oleh Kapitan & Dafroyati, 2018  yaitu dampak dari persoalan ekonomi, keyakinan terhadap pengobatan alternative menyebabkan masih ada kelompok masyarakat yang tetap melakukan pengobatan sembur ke dukun yang ada di sekitar wilayah Kabupaten Kupang maupun Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS). Belum optimalnya kegiatan KIE di PKM Kota Soe, hal ini dibuktikan dengan belum tersedianya materi dan media untuk KIE malaria maternal. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut maka  perlu  dilakukan kegiatan program kemitraan masyarakat (PKM) berupa kerja sama dengan tenaga kesehatan dalam meningkatkan kegiatan KIE dan pemahaman tentang kesehatan ibu khususnya mengatasi malaria tanpa komplikasi melalui pembelajaran paket ibu sehat. Diharapkan pelaksanaan proses dan pencapaian tujuan dari PKM dapat dilakukan dan dicapai melalui penerapan strategi kerja sama dengan tenaga kesehatan di PKM Kota Soe. Kegiatan pembelajaran tentang malaria dalam kehamilan dalam pembelajaran Paket Ibu Sehat ini dihadiri oleh 6 orang tenaga kesehatan yang terdiri dari Kepala Puskesmas Kota Soe, Bidan koordinator, petugas malaria, dan perawat  di PKM Kota Soe . Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah adanya kesepakatan bersama untuk pelaksanaan kegiatan abdimas dengan menggunakan modul Paket Ibu Sehat, Sertifikat HAKI, dan draft publikasi

Post-Treatment Infection in Severe Burn Patients: A Comparative Review on Dermal Matrices
Authors: Zhang Zhiyu
Published: May 2023

Artificial dermal regeneration templates have been widely used in burn reconstruction surgery, and this allows subsequent skin graft to be taken more successfully. However, many clinical studies have noted instances of infection when testing the effectiveness of a specific template. This review aims to compare two common dermal regeneration templates that are very different in nature -- NovosorbÒ Biodegradable Temporising Matrix (BTM) and IntegraÒ Dermal Regeneration Template. Extensive literature search was conducted, and infection rates associated with each template were recorded. Based on the articles included, Integra has shown to be a more effective method and has resulted in lower infection rates. While current studies have begun to examine the use of dermal regeneration templates in additional settings, more long-term evaluations should be included in the future since wound contracture is a continuous process.

Purpose: The study intended to investigate inadequate health financing as challenge in Uganda, the study population included residents of Rujumbura Health sub district in Rukungiri who have lived in the place for a period exceeding fifteen years, being served by Bugangari and Buhunga Health center IVs. The study was guided by the following specific objectives; to establish whether there is no longer “out of pocket expenditure” in public health centers IVs in Uganda; To establish the effect of “out-of-pocket expenditure” on the quality of health services provided by public health centers IVs in Uganda.to establish the effects of abolishing user fees on the quality of health services provided by public health centers IVs in Uganda.

Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study, which was inclined to quantitative approaches

Findings: The study findings indicated that there is a positive relationship with out of pocket expenditure and the quality of health services provided however, results in the model summary concludes that ‘out of pocket expenditure explain 38.9% of the changes in quality of health services and the remaining 61.1% may be explained by other factors consistent with the overall effect of abolishing “out of pocket” expenditure in the study area. 

Recommendations: The policy implication emerged from this study indicates that the quality of health services will be at optimum if users’ fees are in order to foster further improvement rather than abolishing user fees in health center IVs at a reasonable amount which is affordable by citizen. Especially aby adopting private and user free wings. More Qualified medical officers should be deployed at these levels to increase on the image of health center IVs, purposely to increase the confidence and trust by patients to medical officers when they are being treated. A policy on out of pocket expenditure is crucial in improving on cost efficiency and to protect “patients “New technology” in the hospital should be adopted in these health center IVs to improve on the corporate images of these health facilities and also to provide appropriate diagnosis and prescription. Information on hospital rules, regulations and procedures should be provided and can easily be accessible at the hospital and even before. Further studies should be carried out to establish the optimum adequate out of packet expenditure to be charged to the patients at respective health facilities in the country for particular illness and consultation

Comparative evaluation of passive conditioning strategies for the improvement of courtyard thermal performance
Authors: Diz-Mellado Eduardo , López-Cabeza Victoria Patricia , Galán-Marín Carmen , Rivera-Gómez Carlos
Published: May 2023

The alarming increase in global average temperatures and the adaptive capacity of humans in relation to air quality and temperature are becoming increasingly relevant. Scientific resources have focused on the thermal adaptation of building users, but little research has been done on thermal comfort in outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces in the city. This study focuses on the analysis and comparison of different passive strategies implemented in courtyards. The present investigation quantifies the comfort improvement brought by shading and misting elements in courtyards. For this purpose, a set of intrinsic and extrinsic variables that intervene in the thermodynamic behavior of the courtyard will be taken into account. The relevance of the study lies not only in the need to design energy-efficient buildings with adequate thermal comfort patterns but also in more resilient urban environments in the current climate change scenario. The main objective of the research is to quantify the implementation of other passive strategies and the results of different combinations of these. The results identified a thermal delta in the courtyard of up to 10°C cooler than  the outdoor temperature, which varies depending on the different strategies implemented and the time of day.
The use of social networks as a tool for architectural and urban design
Authors: Simoens Pascal
Published: May 2023

The paper focuses on the analysis of new digital media, in particular the sociometric platforms such as Facebook, Twitter..., the writing on these platforms and their impact on architectural or urban projects. In order to deconstruct these new processes of information and data made easily available to the authors of projects, we work from theories allowing to give value (meaning) to writing according to the context in which it is written and materializing in the form of powerful citizen or individual commitments. We look for the keys of analysis allowing to pass from an opinion of influence to an analysis of recurrent commitments to be the object of collective stakes. These different approaches of reading the media/medias crossed with the territory and its collective commitments allow us to develop a method of analysis of the stakes because of the advent of a new project at the scale of a district or a piece of city. Its ambition is to offer to any project author (rarely a data scientist) to appropriate an approach more within his reach while being in phase with the digital reality that transcends the traditional approach of project design.
The architectural structure in the face of climate-relate catastrophe: a classificatory approach
Authors: Sanz Almela Diego , Piqueras Blasco Maria , Serrano Lanzarote Begoña , Fenollosa Forner Ernesto
Published: May 2023

Nowadays, given the geopolitical and climatic emergency context in which we find ourselves, various catastrophes of different kinds, including natural ones such as floods, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes, and human ones such as armed conflicts, nuclear accidents or most fires, whose impact often results in human and economic losses, have highlighted the need to rethink architectural structures in order to ensure that they are as resilient as possible.The key to achieving this and aim of this manuscript, is to firstly identify the intrinsic objective parameters of the most statistically probable catastrophes that we can currently suffer, in order to characterize and classify them from different points of view based on their future consequences on building structures, since only in this way will we be able to conceive and materialize them with the capacity to withstand not only usual loads, but also to present the best possible behaviour in the face of accidental situations caused by potential new adverse episodes.
The gap between Near Zero Emissions Buildings and the Spanish building regulation
Authors: Quintana Gallardo Alberto
Published: May 2023

Due to the effects of climate change, energy has become one of the most relevant topics nowadays. Because of the increasing amount of electronic devices, the dependency to energy consumption is increasing every year. At the same time, in order to avoid the devastating effects of global warming, it is crucial to find ways to lower the energy consumption in buildings. In recent decades, the building regulations have been updated several times to account for this changing reality. However, is the local Spanish energy regulation restrictive enough to reach Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB)? This study aims to answer this question through a case study. A single-family house built in Valencia in 2013 has been analyzed by comparing the current state and how it would have been constructed under the updated legislation. The work is conducted through energy simulation and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The energy simulation is performed with OpenStudio, which uses the calculation engine EnergyPlus. The LCA was carried out using SimaPro and the Ecoinvent database. By analyzing the results obtained in both cases, it is possible to analyze the effectiveness of the CTE DB HE 2019 compared to the applicable norm in 2013 in terms of reducing energy consumption and the CO2 equivalent emissions. It can be concluded that although the current legislation is a significant improvement over previous ones, it is not enough to reach NZEB

This study aims to investigate the issues and challenges that arose in modern housing during the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. A historical review of the pandemics which have plagued humanity is briefly described. Pandemics, as global emergencies, affect human life, the places where the individual is active, and, consequently, the architectural structures. For this reason, the main tool of the study was a questionnaire that was developed and distributed to young people aged between 18 to 35, living in European cities with a population of more than one million. In this way, an initial study was conducted to find out about ways of living during the pandemic and to question how modern architecture will be affected by the current pandemic. In a big part, World War II has formed the current complex housing structures in the modern world. Today, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the current transitional era has brought changes to peoples' lifestyles. The paper continues with the presentation and analysis of the questionnaire’s answers and records the houses’ current issues due to this crisis. The study concludes with certain themes of potential design and environmental strategies for sustainable housing, to improve the individuals' quality of life.
Durability damage indicator in BIM environments

As Building Information Modelling (BIM) is being increasingly adopted through private businesses in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) Industries, new tools, procedures, and functionalities appear. In the last years, BIM has proven its advantages by providing benefits to professionals and guiding them towards a new horizon. Currently, the industry is changing in the Spanish market, and refurbishment projects are more demanded than construction projects involving the design of buildings from scratch. As Spanish housing stock grows older, durability and damage in existing structures need to be analyzed during the refurbishment project's early stages. Structural durability is a critical factor in extending the life span of a building and improving the industry's sustainability. This paper presents a tool integrated into BIM environments that can evaluate the durability index in a specific structural element based on data from a visual inspection. This automated analysis shows if any damage is caused by durability factors, such as steel rebar corrosion, and how much time is left until the damage is critical. This tool enables new functionality in BIM environments to control durability and determine when it is critical to rehabilitating the structure.
Pivotal constructions of unseen events: Building the American dream
Authors: Hwang Irene
Published: May 2023

Is important that architecture is the product of more than the aesthetic concerns of the architect and the practical concerns of the client. It straddles two realms: that of the fine arts and that of the highly practical and utilitarian. In its dual nature, architecture is most often cast as a high art; the outcomes of architectural thinking and making are celebrated, analyzed, and documented for their aesthetic significance as art objects. Architecture’s impact as a service, being practical and useful, are deemed less worthy by both the discipline and profession. Pivotal Constructions of Unseen Events reconstitutes a new reading of American history from 1871-2020, a period marked by tremendous national growth and building, alongside the rise of new shared ideas, practices, and customs that have shaped—and continue to shape—the structures of American society alongside the structures of its built environment.Through the construction of five narratives for five buildings of architectural origin, this research examines the social, technological, material, and economic forces that led to their emergence and construction, as well as the outcomes that arose in society afterward. Pivotal Constructions demonstrates—through the close reading of buildings—how to understand architecture as historical event rather than historical artifact. Whereby architecture’s historical significance is not solely as a static object (or artifact), but rather as something that happened and happens (an event), transforming and shaping history in unexpected and significant ways. This approach gathers and reassembles evidence of architecture’s historical significance, elements hence claimed by other narratives, absorbed by other disciplines, and told by other actors. This method of re-constructing architectural history, is meant to recapture a fuller gamut of architecture’s impact on and in society.For VIBRArch 2022, this author presents one of these narratives: “Building the American Dream”, the history of how the arrival in 1908 of the Gamble House (Greene and Greene Architects) played a part in the genesis of the single-family, detached house, which has become a potent and defining symbol of American values and morals.
City, unexpressed spaces, sport. Resilience in the design of new public spaces
Authors: Cognigni Marta
Published: May 2023

The city evolves and overwrites itself and this overwriting creates an overlap of the various plots that bring out unplanned parts of it. The contemporary city is therefore the result of design and incidental actions that have radically transformed it, leaving around it a “kind of space” of difficult interpretation because of the peculiarity that characterizes them. They are ambiguous, undetermined spaces, often resulting from the informal action of man or the result of stratifications within the urban dimension.  This type of space is called “interstitial” because it is located between things. They can be elements in urban spaces, entire buildings, or only portions within their sphere. The aim of the present text is on the one hand to construct a definition of what an interstitial space is inside the contemporary city. On the other hand, thanks to the help of case studies, we can understand the most suitable functions for the reactivation and enhancement of these areas in the city. The need to reactivate existing city spaces has increased following the climate crisis and pandemic. It’s appropriate to recognize the empty spaces of the city as a “new opportunities” ready to host new functions. Therefore, flexible strategies of action are necessary, which find in the void space of primary importance to realize adaptive devices capable of increasing “urban resilience” and that act as relief valves during extraordinary events. The picture that emerges from studies and research related to the European and Italian panorama of sports infrastructure allows us to identify interesting and innovative trends that show, also in this sector, an increasing attention to issues of urban resilience, architectural and social. Based on this premise, the contribution aims to analyze the recent evolution of public space design modalities in sports practices as a field where resilience policies are applied.
Shifting priorities as a decisive factor: ethics in architectural practice
Authors: Casar Furio Maria Emilia , Sosa Espinosa Asenet
Published: May 2023

Every professional offers a unique, precise and basic service to society. This service is vocational from the exemplary models of their profession, with an enlightened and free execution. In the exercise of the profession, the architect tries to provide solutions to the different functional problems that derive from the ideal way of life proposed by today's society, facing ethical, social, political and legal problems in the search for the satisfaction of needs, sometimes economic interests take precedence over the social function of architecture and the principles of sustainability. Trends and intellectual conceptions change. In any case, it is indisputable that the fundamental key to architecture lies in the creation of a habitable environment. Thus, the architect is called upon to act as a civic leader in his or her professional practice. Based on this, the general objective of this paper is to make an exploratory approach to professional dilemmas in the field of urban planning and urban design. This is done from the perception and experience of the urban architect who carries out his work in the Valencian Community, in Spain. It is a first approach, carried out through conversations with professionals using qualitative techniques of social research, specifically the interview. The profiles interviewed combine the professional role with the teaching role in the university, which allows us to propose keys that can contribute to generating good practices in the professional field of the urban architect, but which are also present in teaching and learning. Among the conclusions highlighted are the disjunctions derived from political, economic and political-economic interests, which sometimes call into question the social function of urban planning as public policy; the necessary break with the elitism that has characterized the profession and the interdisciplinary work in urban planning as a way to act as a civic leader.
Space, function and symbol. Architectural furniture in domestic spaces
Authors: Ochoa Caballero María José
Published: May 2023

The Baldaquin of the Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome represents the spiritual core of the building and holds a distinctive meaning for the complex and the people in it. This piece, defined for this research as architectural furniture, conditions the use of the space it belongs to, affects its scale, gives purpose to its routing, and defines the symbolic reading of the whole.This monumental object is used as a reference, and its personal, social, spatial, and functional implications are relayed across the field of architecture to the domestic space. An approach to furniture to create a home molded to the needs and desires of the individual and the society he belongs to is detected in the pieces of furniture by Ettore Sottsass and Joe Colombo, presented in the exhibition Italy, the new domestic landscape in 1972. This paper intends to indicate those concepts embodied in a selection of four contemporary housing renovation projects that have used furniture as a complex design element to shape homes.
