Processing Nature, Beyond the Antinomy Of Ecological Pretence In Contemporary Planning. A Critical Understanding Urban Ecosystems, The Epitome Of Liveable Cities
Authors: Mencarini Vittoria , Tinti Lorenzo
Published: August 2023

In the still dominant perception of a hierarchical order of nature, humans are disturbing ecosystems factors. We should move away from the one-dimensional dichotomy between natural and human interaction towards a more effective representation without nostalgia. The contact between human and natural habitats is close to the idea of maintaining and conserving a certain state of equilibrium, instead of letting natural habitats evolve into new ecosystems. In other words, energy management and the capacity of a system to self-organize (autopoiesis) defnes the difference between human and natural habitats. Where this capacity is not limited, a natural habitat is present. Contemporary landscapes (tourist coasts, reclaimed land, etc.) demonstrate this thesis by highlighting how human intervention is an indispensable factor in their maintenance. It is necessary to provide precise and sophisticated tools capable of synthesizing agents and forces within territorial transformations starting from a global understanding of natural processes. Ecological dynamics must be transformed into project parameters involved within design process. Here a further degree of integration is suggested above the level of simple natural ecosystems, where human is assumed as a key factor in landscape transformation and geography construction. Considering other paradigms that interfere with the same epistemological area, the contribution questions the theoretical and practical implications of rethinking the interaction between natural and artifcial ecosystems within the framework of landscape resilience. This perspective allows a territorial update by increasing the level of compatibility between the evolution of human habitat and the maintenance of natural regeneration times. This articulation, however, requires a reconsideration of landscape aesthetics beyond the beautiful and the consolatory, as well as a fundamental shift in landscape thinking from representation to action.
The Balkan Skyscraper: How Tall is Tall Enough?
Authors: Trabucco Dario
Published: August 2023

The beginning of the skyscraper era was made possible by some key innovations that occurred in the late 19th century. Generally, steel frames and lifts were considered the key technologies, but a third was mentioned by witnesses of the time and then forgotten: the 'flat-arch' system to protect steel beams from fire. Now, The race for the sky is supported by innovation in the two main fields, which would otherwise represent a bottleneck in increasing the height of tall buildings. Fire safety, and safety in general, is probably the hardest barrier to unlimited height growth.
Thoughts on Urban Verticalization. Going Up and Building High for the Future City
Authors: Architects HQ
Published: August 2023

Urban verticalization has shaped most cities around the world in the 20th century, playing a big part in the conception, creation and expansion of the Metropolis and the new cityscape that continuously aims for the sky. The vertical city as a concept has been provoking the creativity of architects and planners for over a century, mainly as the solution to the urban challenges that emerged after the industrial revolution, a time when the city was being rapidly transformed, and a new socioeconomic model appeared together with the new era. The intense vertical growth of our cities in the 20th century has formed the way our cities look and function, ultimately it has shaped what we consider as the modern city and urbanity, as well as the way we imagine the city of the future. Aesthetics aside, vertical building agglomeration has been a widespread solution to the growing demand for various different spaces in many cities of various scales all around the world. The evolution of the high-rise has had a huge impact on the image and experience of the city, shaping both the cities’ skylines, but also ground level neighborhoods and public spaces, impacting how people move and interact within the urban setting.
Vertical Farm: from Agriculture to a New City Architecture
Authors: Bisiani Thomas , Basso Sara , Martolana Pierluigi , Venudo Adriano
Published: August 2023

The paper deals with the architectural theme of high-rise construction by cross-referencing it with that of soilless agriculture, recognizing new typologies and critically identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a new relationship between architecture, city and agriculture. From a disciplinary point of view, the text is organized in four distinct topics. The first part deals with height construction from a theoretical and disciplinary point of view. An excursus identifies in the high-rise buildings a human archetype that today defines certain features of architecture and landscapes in the age of globalization. The second part delves into the subject of soilless agriculture in terms of agronomic technique, with the aim of understanding its origin, efficiency and potential, but also its limits and weaknesses. The analysis is carried out by investigating the production factors at play, such as land, labor and capital, in relation to the revolutions that have characterized the agricultural production sector since the 16th century. The third part analyses three different cases of vertical farms from an architectural perspective because they are alternative to each other and paradigmatic. The skyscraper model is transformed. Agricultural activity, housing models and aggregated urban functions give rise to complex buildings. The first case is Richard Rogers' 2015 Skyfarm, the second is Carlo Ratti's Jian Mu Tower designed in Shenzen in 2021, the third example is Chris Precht's 2019 Farmhouse. The last part addresses a broader picture: food, cities, social justice, but also urban regeneration, recovery and recycling. Vertical farms are observed from an urban planning angle and considered as a useful element for guiding development and growth in cities and rewriting the relationship between architecture and the countryside. An opportunity to reinvent the multifunctional tall building, open to new ways of living and to redefine the design of the city
Vertical Cemeteries: a Changing Paradigm
Authors: Jesku Franklind
Published: August 2023

Humans use architecture as both their first and last stop. A newborn is honored and welcomed into the new world in the hospital. The final stage is to take the deceased to the cemetery, where they rest in peace. Death cannot be avoided. To cope with and minimize the great pain caused by the death of our loved ones, a wide range of afterlife beliefs and stories have been developed on cultural, spiritual, geographical, and other levels. Religion and culture are two underlying themes in these afterlife spirits and beliefs. With the continuous increase of the world population and the demographic crisis of megacities, the theme of the cemetery and burial space becomes crucial to dispel the gap between necessary living space and density. Can a new way of burial solve these questions by adapting to various customs and various social and political contexts? Can architecture solve and intervene in the gap that exists between the world of the living and the world of the dead? This paper will explore the notion of "Vertical Cemeteries" throughout history and throughout visionary architectural projects that propose a new way of burial in a fast changing world.
Housing and High-Rise Building: a Longstanding Love-Hate Story Is there an Upper Limit to Living on High Ground?
Authors: Reale Luca
Published: August 2023

Climate change and the global pandemic seem to be pushing urbanization in opposite directions: the opposition between densification and distancing could open up, in the coming years, an increasingly frequent collision between the conflicting demands of climate and public health issues. However, the push for new concentration, after several decades in which lowand medium-density settlement patterns were favored, is now seen not only as a necessity on the urban level, but also as a fertile architectural design opportunity. In the housing towers of modernity, the living experience has often clashed with the monofunctionality of buildings and the problem of the loss of any relationship with the street and the ground. Many architects since the 1960s have attempted to bring some common spaces, intermediate between public and private into elevation, but this has often been insufficient to transfer urban vitality within a residential building and ensure the connection of housing to the ground and street-life. Today there is an attempt to recover the "streets on the air" through the Hong Kong lesson of an integrated and connected city, or there is a return to experimenting on the urban block and Medium-rise blocks by attempting to simultaneously generate high-density and human scale, better connecting people with the urban ground and with each other. Finally, we try to prefigure a new kind of multilevel city, in which a common dimension of many functions related to living is shared in spaces distributed along the height of high-rise buildings, also taking inspiration from the spontaneous power of informal associations that teach us to foster relationships among people, variety and flexibility of spaces, leading the experience of living back to an idea of domesticity thus overcoming the modern idea of the machine city
Does the High-Rise Building Typology meet the needs for City Densification?
The case of Tirana, Albania
Authors: Aliaj Besnik
Published: August 2023

The first high-rise building ever in Tirana and Albania was built during the 70-s. This was Hotel Tirana or “15-kateshi” as it was nicknamed. At that time, Tirana was building not more than six floors high due to limitations in finances, technology, as well as seismic regulations. Hotel Tirana was an exception for ideological and symbolic reasons of the regime. After the ‘change’ of the early 90-s and the return of the market economy, several private construction companies came up by developing ‘tower’ typology buildings of 7-9 floors. In the second decade of transformations, the municipality developed several international architectural competitions, including a masterplan for the city centre (2003) and other specific construction sites, mainly for strategic high-rise building purposes. During these years, Tirana was densified by tripling its population thanks to a typology of towers of 9-11 floors. There has been a lot of criticism of the respective municipal decision-making procedures, allegedly related to the politicization and corruption of the verticalization and densification process via control of the building permissions system

Implementing Chemical Castration Punishment: A Perspective on Criminal Law and Human Rights
Authors: Nasrullah Nasrullah
Published: August 2023

This study aims to understand and analyze how chemical castration aligns with Indonesia’s criminal law framework and human rights principles. This study uses normative legal research methods with the statute and conceptual approaches. The collected legal material is then qualitatively analyzed to describe the problem and answer the study objectives. The results show that chemical castration punishment, as regulated in Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 1 of 2016 and Government Regulation Number 70 of 2020, was established as a preventive measure against child sexual abuse. However, the relevance of this punishment must be viewed from two primary perspectives: criminal law and human rights. From the criminal law perspective, chemical castration serves the functions of retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence, working synergistically to offer optimal protection for children from sexual violence. Meanwhile, from a human rights standpoint, there’s a critical need to ensure child protection without sidelining the human rights principles outlined in the UDHR, the 1945 Constitution, and Law Number 39 of 1999. Therefore, several recommendations regarding a comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of chemical castration punishment can be proposed to the Government. First, even though this policy aims to prevent child sexual abuse, an in-depth study from the criminal law viewpoint must be reinforced to ensure the effectiveness of the punishment’s three main functions: retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence. Secondly, a review from the human rights perspective is equally essential. This policy must be ensured to align with the human rights principles embedded in the UDHR, the 1945 Constitution, and Law Number 39 of 1999. As a result, concrete steps such as amendments, law enforcement training, and public education are vital to optimize the chemical castration punishment in safeguarding children without neglecting human rights.

Keberlakuan dan Kekuatan Hukum Terhadap Wasiat yang Melanggar Legitieme Portie Ahli Waris
Authors: Indradewi Astrid Athina
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the legal validity and legal force of a testament whose contents violate the 'legitieme portie' of the heirs. The testament may not contain provisions that reduce the absolute share of the heirs. The Civil Law Code stipulates a system of restrictions on the allocation of inheritance to be distributed to heirs through 'legitieme portie' in order to protect heirs from the tendency for heirs to benefit other people. This study uses a normative juridical research method with conceptual and statutory approaches. The results of this study are testaments that contain provisions regarding the distribution of inheritance which violates the 'legitieme portie' of heirs, thus legally it must be prosecuted and enforced based on the provisions of Article 913 juncto Article 914 juncto Article 920 of the Civil Law Code. However, if the heirs do not sue, the testament as intended will continue as it is. In other words, the testament remains valid even if it contains a violation of the 'legitieme portie' of the heir as long as it has not been canceled by the injured party.
Immune response modulation in inflammatory bowel diseases by Helicobacter pylori infection

Published: August 2023

Many studies point to an association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) infection and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Although controversial, this association indicates that the presence of the bacterium somehow affects the course of IBD. It appears that H. pylori infection influences IBD through changes in the diversity of the gut microbiota, and hence in local chemical characteristics, and alteration in the pattern of gut immune response. The gut immune response appears to be modulated by H. pylori infection towards a less aggressive inflammatory response and the establishment of a targeted response to tissue repair. Therefore, a T helper 2 (Th2)/macrophage M2 response is stimulated, while the Th1/macrophage M1 response is suppressed. The immunomodulation appears to be associated with intrinsic factors of the bacteria, such as virulence factors - such oncogenic protein cytotoxin-associated antigen A, proteins such H. pylori neutrophil-activating protein, but also with microenvironmental changes that favor permanence of H. pylori in the stomach. These changes include the increase of gastric mucosal pH by urease activity, and suppression of the stomach immune response promoted by evasion mechanisms of the bacterium. Furthermore, there is a causal relationship between H. pylori infection and components of the innate immunity such as the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome that directs IBD toward a better prognosis.

So we studied the effectiveness of opposite binaries , the degree of their creation of tension in supplication by selecting texts are picked out from it that contain and include those binaries in the texts of supplication and the Islamic heritage. Perhaps it has an attraction factor for the recipient and illumination of unfamiliar aesthetic spaces that are apparent in studies and scientific researches . We hope that our study will be revealing , illuminating of aesthetics and poetics.
Two Battles of Al – Taff ( 61 A.H / 680 A.D ) and Fakh (169 A.H / 768 A.D): A Study in Similarity and Difference Look

The great similarity between the battle of al-Taff, which took place during the Umayyad era (41-132 AH / 661-749 AD), and which took place between the camp of truth and the tolerant principles and values of the true Islamic religion, led by the martyred grandson of Imam Hussein bin Ali (peace be upon them both), against the camp of falsehood led by the ruler. The Umayyad Yazid bin Muawiya, and this incident took place in the year (61 AH / 680 AD) and the incident of Fakh, which occurred during the Abbasid era (132-656 AH / 749-1258 AD), and this incident took place in the year (169 AH / 768 AD) under the leadership of its rebel and martyr Al-Hussein Ben Ali (may God be pleased with him) against the camp of al-Hadi al-Hakim al-Abbasid. This resemblance was mentioned by some of the twelve infallible imams (peace be upon them) who were contemporaneous with or who were close to this great event, which was similar to the incident of At-Taff, and it is what allowed me and other researchers to make a comparison between the two incidents due to the great similarity in many of their events, even if they differed in aspects. Less than the similarities, as there are also differences between them that distinguished between these two painful events, and these similarities and differences are what made my academic scientific study this in my modest and tagged research “The two events of Tuff (61 AH / 680 AD) and Fakh (169 / 768 AD) a study in similarities And the difference."

Published: August 2023

Pottery fragments found in archaeological sites across the world provide insights into the prevalent manufacturing technology, commercial usage of wares and the socio-politico-economic fabric of the societies which crafted them. Their chemical profile can be used to characterise the clay used in their making, and thus, locate their origins. The technologies for the generation of such geochemical profiles have been around for decades, and several researchers have published the results for their samples. However, such data has undergone just basic statistical analysis. This work collates such data from multiple sources and performs a comparative analysis of multiple machine learning classifiers, to showcase the potential utility of bringing up such datasets for further exploration. It can speed up the segregation and mapping of historical artefacts and add value to archaeological teams working in developing countries of Asia and Africa.

Yoga e sincronização dos ritmos circadianos, uma visão neurocientífica
Authors: Agrela Rodrigues Fabiano de Abreu , Tiboni Kaiut Ravi Kishore
Published: August 2023

Este estudo explora a interseção entre ritmos circadianos, a prática de yoga e a qualidade do sono. Os ritmos circadianos, fundamentais no controle dos padrões de sono, são perturbados por diversos fatores, levando a consequências adversas para a saúde humana. A literatura propõe a prática do yoga como uma intervenção viável, potencialmente por induzir mudanças neurobiológicas que podem ressincronizar esses ritmos. A revisão bibliográfica dos estudos existentes demonstrou uma associação positiva entre yoga e a melhoria da qualidade do sono, embora a compreensão do mecanismo exato ainda seja limitada. Propõe-se que a yoga possa modular os ritmos circadianos, otimizando-os para promover um sono reparador e saúde em geral. As conclusões indicam a necessidade de pesquisas futuras sofisticadas para explorar esta conexão com maior profundidade, ampliando nossa compreensão das implicações neurocientíficas das práticas de yoga na regulação dos ritmos circadianos. Desta forma, este artigo destaca a importância de tais pesquisas para a intersecção da neurociência, medicina do sono e intervenções de saúde comportamental.

A total of 9655 individual fishes were identified, with 9017 specimens identified at least to genus level and 3124 specimens identified to species level. This dataset comprises specimens collected from the 1990 RRS Discovery (III) Cruise D195 and was used to investigate depth-related trends in diversity and community composition alongside species-specific migratory behaviour. The finalised dataset was published on OBIS through the Deep-Sea node.

This dataset contains occurrence and abundance data for midwater fishes caught between the Mauritanian coast and Cape Verde, published for the first time. The dataset records 146 different fish taxa. Twenty-three taxa in the dataset are not present in any prior OBIS datasets that cover the area. These novel taxa are: Bathylagus andriashevi, Bolinichthys indicus, Bolinichthys supralateralis, Cyclothone parapallida, Dolichopteroides binocularis, Gigantactis indet. Gymnoscopelus stet., Howella atlantica, Hygophum proximum, Hygophum taaningi, Ichthyococcus polli, Lampadena anomala, Lampanyctus cuprarius, Lampanyctus isaacsi, Lampanyctus lineatus, Lampanyctus macdonaldi, Lampanyctus nobilis, Lestidiops mirabilis, Loweina rara, Macroparalepis brevis, Melamphaes microps and Melanonus gracilis. An anglerfish specimen belonging to Linophrynidae was also found, the first in the leftvent family to be logged in the area on OBIS; however, the specimen was too damaged to identify beyond this level.

Camellias cultivars collections, comprising an exquisite array of meticulously bred and curated camellia varieties, emerged as indispensable elements within the resplendent 19th century gardens that adorned landscapes across the globe. The heart of Terra Nostra Garden, nestled within the captivating surroundings of the Furnas volcano on S. Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal), started in the year 1782 as an enchanting fishpond garden, strategically positioned in front of the summer house belonging to the esteemed Thomas Hickling, the American vice-consul. Soon this garden was enlarged and embellished with species from several continents. This tradition continued during all the 19th century with the Viscount Duarte Borges da Câmara Medeiros (1848-1872) and his son the Marquis António Borges Medeiros Dias da Câmara e Sousa (1872-1913). In 1933, the 12 hectares property was acquired by the Terra Nostra Society, led by Vasco Bensaude and increased to 12.5 hectares. In 1935, the current Terra Nostra Garden Hotel was inaugurated and, two years later, the Terra Nostra Society reopened the botanical garden attached to the hotel, now called Terra Nostra Garden. Beginning in 1982, the Head Gardener embarked on a transformative journey, dedicating his expertise to the meticulous renovation and expansion of numerous botanical collections nestled within the garden's enchanting landscapes. Amongst the remarkable transformations, the revered camellias collection received special attention, as it underwent a comprehensive rejuvenation process under his skilful guidance. The recent publication of a global digital dataset of Camellia names provides the opportunity to publish the dataset of Camellia species, hybrids and its cultivars currently cultivated at Terra Nostra Garden with their validated names.

In June 2023, a total of 669 Camellia phenotypes were identified across the 12.5 hectares of Terra Nostra Garden. These phenotypes include 38 species, 178 hybrids and 637 cultivars. Camellia japonica represents 81.7% of the 459 species cultivars, while C. x williamsii accounts for 32% of 178 hybrid cultivars. The most prevalent genotypes in Camellia hybrids with known parentage are those of C. japonica, C. saluenensis and C. reticulata present respectively in 64.1%, 45.5% and 37.9% of the hybrids. Regarding cultivar registration, 46.9% were registered in the US, followed by 13% from Japan and 10.8% from Portugal. Although the most ancient cultivar registered growing at the garden is Camellia reticulata Lindl. 'Damanao' from 1621, the majority (69.4%) of cultivars in the garden were registered in the 20th century, followed by the 19th century cultivars (20.7%). One cultivar, Camellia 'Patrícia Bensaude Fernandes', was produced and registered specifically by this garden.

The Global Registry of Scientific Collections (GRSciColl), is a comprehensive and community-curated clearinghouse of collection information hosted in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) registry. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, institutions and the scientific community at large. GRSciColl provides information about physical scientific collections, including their content, location, contacts, and associated institutions. It also serves as a reference for institution and collection codes and identifiers.

The information available in GRSciColl is easily accessible through its website and the Application Programming Interface. Users can search for institutions and collections based on various attributes such as country, city, or preservation types. The GRSciColl lookup service enables the resolution of institution and collection codes and identifiers, promoting database interoperability and facilitating links with other systems.

One notable application of GRSciColl is the linking of specimen-related occurrences published on GBIF with institution and collection entries in GRSciColl. This linkage, based on institution and collection codes and identifiers, enables the aggregation of specimen-related occurrences under their respective GRSciColl-registered collections and institutions. This feature provides valuable insights into the progress of collection digitization efforts, regardless of the publishing method on GBIF. Moreover, GRSciColl's collaboration with Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) and the United Kingdom Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo UK) further enhances the visibility of collections by displaying their information on the iDigBio portal and on the UK Natural Sciences Collections Portal.

The information in GRSciColl is maintained by a community of editors, including representatives from registered institutions and national editors. The suggestion system enables anyone to contribute by updating, adding, or merging records, which are then reviewed by relevant individuals. GRSciColl also synchronizes regularly with external sources such as Index Herbariorum, ensuring up-to-date and reliable information.

In this presentation, we will highlight the ongoing work on improving GRSciColl. We will share our roadmap, give an update on how we are making GRSciColl compatible with the forthcoming Latimer Core standard (Woodburn et al. 2022), present the new GRSciColl web interface, and share opportuntities to get involved in the curation and development of GRSciColl.

By working together with the community, GRSciColl continues to evolve and provide a reliable platform to make collections more discoverable.

The thermal, electrical and thermoelectric properties of ZnO–MexOy ceramics with 1 ≤ x, y ≤ 3, where Me = Al, Co, Fe, Ni, Ti, have been studied. The specimens have been synthesized using the ceramic sintering technology from two or more oxides in an open atmosphere with annealing temperature and time variation. The structural and phase data on the ceramics have shown that post-synthesis addition of MexOy doping powders to wurtzite-structured ZnO powder causes Znx (Mе)yO4 spinel-like second phase precipitation and a 4-fold growth of ceramics porosity. Room temperature heat conductivity studies have testified to predominant lattice contribution. A decrease in the heat conductivity upon doping proves to be caused by phonon scattering intensification due to the following factors: size factor upon zinc ion substitution in the ZnO lattice (wurtzite) by MexOy doping oxide metal ions; defect formation, i.e., point defects, grain boundaries (microstructure refinement); porosity growth (density decline); secondary phase particle nucleation (Znx (Mе)yO4 spinel-like ones). The above listed factors entailed by zinc ion substitution for metal ions (Co, Al, Ti, Ni, Fe) increase the figure-of-merit ZT by four orders of magnitude (due to a decrease in the electrical resistivity and heat conductivity coupled with a moderate thermo-emf decline). The decrease in the electrical resistivity originates from a more homogeneous distribution of doping metal ions in the wurtzite lattice upon longer annealing which increases the number of donor centers.
