Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen widespread adoption in various sectors including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail. In Malaysia, AI adoption is accelerating as the country seeks to enhance its competitiveness and foster innovation. Due to the emergence of AI in the organizational landscape, it has brought in change paradigm in the internal auditing profession. To remain effective, internal auditors must quickly adapt and capture AI capabilities into their work routine. This paper reviewed 31 journals published from various reliable academic resources. Three themes have been established: the roles of internal auditors, the benefits to internal auditors of adopting AI and the challenges of internal auditors in using AI for fraud detection. This paper highlights several roles of internal auditors using AI, it also highlights the benefits of adopting AI in the fraud detection process. The most prominent benefit of using AI is its ability to conduct real-time fraud detection, provide wider coverage, automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, and improving detection through its predictive analysis capability. Along with these advantages, this paper also discusses the significant challenges internal auditors run into when integrating AI into fraud detection, highlighting the difficulties in adjusting to this cutting-edge technology.

Harmony search algorithm to enhance approach to permutation flow shop scheduling problem
Authors: Hameed Musa A.
Published: November 2024

The permutation flow-shop scheduling problem (PFSP) is one of the widely analysed and investigated problems within the general field of scheduling, as its major focus is on the allocation and sequencing of a set of jobs across a set of machines in order to minimize the makespan or satisfy other criteria. This paper further generalizes the problem to the distributed permutation flow-shop scheduling problem (DPFSP), namely in a manufacturing system with multiple factories, where every factory employs identical machines; with the objective of achieving the least makespan at the worst factory in terms of processing time. We resolve the issue through a Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA), a metaheuristic model developed from the musical harmonisation concept, together with constraint programming techniques, including interval variables and non-adjacent constraints. The problemsolving algorithm incorporates a lower bound estimation heuristic for efficiently directing the search in the right possible solution zone. Performance evaluation on both the small benchmark and the large benchmark data set showed the ability of the HSA to perform the different assignment in various problem scenarios that include the different number of jobs, machines and factories to support them. Comparisons with the best-known values established the performance of the HSA algorithm in identifying high quality solutions for the PFSP in less computation time.

Published: November 2024

O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a mortalidade neonatal e as causas evitáveis no Amazonas. Estudo transversal, de série temporal, com dados secundários de óbito em recém-nascidos, no período de 2014 a 2023, a partir do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM). Os dados foram obtidos considerando os códigos da Classificação Internacional de Doenças 10ª revisão (CID-10) presentes na Lista de Causas de Mortes Evitáveis por Intervenções do SUS. Foram determinadas as frequências absolutas e relativas, bem como, a taxa de mortalidade neonatal geral, precoce e tardia. Foram identificados 7.735 óbitos neonatais, ocorridos entre 2014 e 2023, em sua maioria ocorridos no período neonatal precoce. Maiores frequências de morte foram registrados em recém-nascidos do sexo masculino (56,7), raça parda (69,0), prematuros (55,4) com peso ao nascer menor que 1500 gramas (43,3), cuja via de parto foi a vaginal (58,8). A maioria dos óbitos poderiam ter sido reduzidos pela adequada atenção a mulher na gestação, ao parto e atenção ao recém-nascido. Dentre as principais causas de morte neonatal, de acordo com a evitabilidade, destaca-se o tétano neonatal, síndrome da angústia respiratória do recém-nascido, síndrome da aspiração neonatal e agressões. O periodo neonatal precoce concentrou a maioria das mortes e maior taxa de mortalidade geral foi identificada em 2018, com redução em 2020. Os dados encontrados demonstram fragilidades na assistência materno-infantil, apesar dos avanços das linhas de cuidado.

Authors: Lopes Suliete , Dos Santos Almeida Dafiny , Lopes dos Santos Jéssica
Published: November 2024

A transmissão vertical ocorre quando a criança é infectada por Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST) durante a gestação, parto, e em alguns casos durante toda amamentação. Todas as gestantes e suas parcerias sexuais devem ser investigadas para IST durante o pré-natal e no momento do parto, especialmente para o HIV, sífilis e hepatites virais B e C. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a atuação do enfermeiro na prevenção da transmissão vertical do HIV. A metodologia abordada foi a de revisão integrativa de literatura, onde fizeram parte artigos encontrados nas bases de dados eletrônicas Lilacs, Pubmed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS/BIREME), com os Descritores em Saúde: Transmissão vertical do HIV; Ações de enfermagem; Educação em saúde; Pré-natal. Foram incluídos na pesquisa artigos originais completos escritos em português ou inglês desenvolvidos na área da saúde; artigos que abordam a temática; e artigos publicados nos anos de 2019 a 2024, sendo selecionados 13 artigos. Como resultados encontramos que mulheres com baixo nível escolar, não brancas e que descobriram o status sorológico durante a gestação, devido à falta de conhecimento, possuem uma baixa adesão ao tratamento e à prevenção da Transmissão Vertical. E o enfermeiro deve atuar desde o pré-natal com ações de educação em saúde, acompanhamento e acolhimento da gestante com HIV, rastreio de infecções durante as consultas e na assistência ao parto, para reduzir as taxas de transmissão vertical. Portanto, o enfermeiro é fundamental para a efetivação de medidas de prevenção da transmissão vertical.

Multidrug resistance bacteria causing urinary tract infections have become a more serious concern nowadays. Grampositive and gram-negative bacteria are involved in causing urinary- tract infections, and it is more frequent in females as compared to males. Nowadays, there is increasing in antibiotic resistance to almost all available antibiotics, which has become a major therapeutic issue. So, finding ethnomedicinal plants for the treatment of various kinds of infection is a priority. The study aims to assess the antibacterial properties of 3 tropical plants (Psidium guajava, Syzygium cumini, and Punica granatum) for possible use as antibacterial agents against 4 isolated MDR bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus). Antibiograms of isolated bacteria were detected by disc- diffusion method, and the antibacterial activity of ethnomedicinal plants was detected by the agarwell diffusion method. Methanol and n-hexane extracts from these 3 plants were used for this study. These 3 ethnomedicinal plants were found to be at least showing 16- 21 mm as a zone of inhibition in lawn culture. Minimum inhibitory concentration and Minimum bactericidal concentration of methanol extracts of 3 plants were recorded. The methanol extract of Psidium guajava, Punica granatum, and Szygium cumini was found to be effective, but Szygium cumini was found to be more effective as compared to the Psidium guajava and Punica granatum.

Authors: Silangan, MD Seann Bregendale L. , Abiera, MD Joycie Eulah H. , Gaston, MD L. Czar
Published: November 2024

Van Nes rotationplasty has gained popularity as a surgical treatment for malignant bone tumors without resorting to amputation. However, the nature of the surgery poses unique challenges in the rehabilitation management in order to optimize safety and functional mobility.
We describe a case of a 6-year-old female with Ewing’s sarcoma of the right femur who underwent Van Nes Type BIIIA rotationplasty. This procedure involved a complete femoral resection, with the tibia and the foot rotated by 180 degrees and the lateral tibial plateau placed into the acetabulum that is expected to remodel to form a neo-hip joint. The patient was referred to rehabilitation medicine and was eventually admitted due to impairment in mobility secondary to the surgery. The goal was to achieve K-1 level of function.
This case demonstrates that the rehabilitation management of a child with Type B-IIIA rotationplasty using a modified Van Nes prosthesis requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: Cortez, MD Ria Katrina B. , Santiaguel, MD Joel M. , Ditching, MD Mary Bianca Doreen F.
Published: November 2024

Background. COVID-19 infection poses a continuing challenge especially to those already with prior lung disease. To analyze such patients’ profile is essential in today’s health care management.
Objective. The study aimed to compare the outcomes of COVID-19 confirmed patients with and without primary lung cancer in terms of hospital stay, recovery, and mortality.
Methods. The study employed a retrospective cohort design. Chart review of all adult COVID-19 patients in Philippine General Hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 was done. A matched cohort study was conducted between COVID-19 patients with and without primary lung cancer.
Results. Among the 953 COVID-19 patients, there were 14 patients with primary lung cancer. In terms of length of hospital stay, patients with primary lung cancer had shorter days from 1.32 to 15.1 days compared to 2.28 to 18.36 days in patients without primary lung cancer (p-value 0.271). Furthermore, they had 64% recovery rate compared to 78% in those without primary lung cancer (p-value 0.118). In terms of overall mortality rate, primary lung cancer patients had 36% rate as compared to 22% in the non-lung cancer group (p-value 0.119). Diabetes mellitus, mild to severe COVID, Remdesivir, and antibiotic use were associated with longer hospital stay while oxygen support via nasal cannula and invasive ventilation led to shorter hospital stay. Age above 50 years, chronic liver disease, other malignancy, shortness of breath, oxygen support via face mask, high flow nasal cannula, invasive ventilation, antibiotic use, hemoperfusion and nebulization showed a decrease chance of recovery while on contrary, Remdesivir showed an increase chance of recovery. An increase mortality rate was seen among age above 50 years, chronic liver disease, other malignancy, shortness of breath, oxygen support via facemask, high flow nasal cannula, invasive ventilation, antibiotics, hemoperfusion, and nebulization, in contrast to a decrease in Remdesivir therapy.
Conclusions. Among all admitted COVID-19 patients, primary lung cancer patients were associated with shorter hospital stay (8.21+6.89days), lower rate of recovery (64%), and higher mortality rate (36%) as compared to those without primary lung cancer. However, based on the computed p-values for each outcome, these differences are not statistically significant.

UTJECAJ OGRANIČENJA PROMINENTNOSTI SLOGOVA NA SLIJED SASTAVNICA BINOMA U TALIJANSKOME I HRVATSKOME JEZIKU
Authors: Budimir Irina , Mišetić Damir
Published: November 2024

Binomi imaju sva svojstva tipična za frazeme. Minimalnu strukturnu granicu binoma uglavnom čine tri riječi: dva jednakovrijedna člana koja uglavnom pripadaju istoj vrsti riječi, najčešće povezana veznikom i. Osim izražene idiomatičnosti, obilježava ih ireverzibilnost, točno određen i nepromjenjiv slijed njihovih sastavnica ili barem davanje prednosti jednoj sastavnici u odnosu na drugu sukladno raznim jezičnim kriterijima. Analizirajući slijed sastavnica binoma u duhu optimalnosne teorije, postavlja se nekoliko kriterija ograničenja: ograničenja salijentnosti, metrička ograničenja i ograničenja prominentnosti slogova. Na korpusu ekscerpiranih binoma talijanskoga i hrvatskoga jezika u ovome radu izvršena je raščlamba primjenjujući ograničenja prominentnosti slogova na slijed njihovih sastavnica, ako ne djeluju dva prethodna ograničenja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su navedena ograničenja primjenjiva, ali postoje određene iznimke u obama jezicima. Prepoznaje se i hijerarhija u ograničenjima prominentnosti slogova što je u ovome radu i oprimjereno. Navode se iznimke u obama jezicima, a one su najviše uvjetovane ograničenjem salijentnosti koje opet ima svoje zakonitosti i odstupanja i stoga se upozorava na važnost izučavanja binoma u dijakronijskome smislu i drugih istraživanja, primjerice utjecaja jezičnih saveza na njihovo ustrojstvo i linearni slijed sastavnica.

THE USE OF INFLECTIONAL AND DERIVATIONAL SUFFIXES IN THE NOVELS HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE AND TWILIGHT
Authors: Šetka Čilić Ivona
Published: November 2024

The paper discusses the use of inflectional and derivational suffixes, for which purpose two chapters from two novels written in English language have been analysed. The novels include: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, written by J. K. Rowling and Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyer. It is hypothesized that inflectional suffixes prevail in literature texts written in English language in comparison to derivational suffixes. The first part of the paper provides theoretical background of the process of affixation with a special emphasis put on suffixation, types of suffixes, distinction between inflectional and derivational suffixes, whereas the central and the most important part of the paper deals with the analysis and the results. Although only two chapters of two novels have been analysed, the sufficient number of each type of suffixes has been selected clearly showing that inflectional suffixes prevail, which proves the hypothesis. The results obtained through the analysis can be representative, even though they cannot be considered as a general rule since they may be influenced by many factors, e.g., whether the analysis has been conducted using the entire novels or even completely different corpus (newspapers, online articles, scientific papers, etc.). Nevertheless, the results can provide a good basis/source for some future similar research.

Published: November 2024

Iako se već 1910. godine više Osječana izjasnilo za hrvatski kao materinski jezik, a ne za njemački, njemački je i dalje prevladavao. Aktivni pobornici hrvatskoga jezika, okupljeni oko osječkoga dnevnog lista Narodna obrana, čudili su se toj prevlasti i pripisivali je političkoj inertnosti Osječana. U svojim su opažanjima zbog uporabe njemačkoga jezika ponajviše prozivali muškarce, dok su žene spomenute rijetko i uzgredno. Iz toga slijedi kako su podcijenili utjecaj žena na govoreni jezik, iako su upravo one majke, odgajateljice i učiteljice prvih riječi. Upravo iz Narodne obrane doznajemo kako su Osječanke preferirale njemački jezik u komunikaciji, a iz njihovih bilježnica s receptima, koje naznačuju bilingvalnost, saznajemo i moguće razloge za to. Recepti koji su kružili među njima dolazili su s njemačkoga govornog područja, uglavnom su nosili obilježja južnonjemačke i austrijske kuhinje, ili su bili prepisani iz tiskanih kuharica na njemačkome jeziku. Dijeljenje recepata, kao sastavni dio komunikacije među ženama, teklo je puno lakše na njemačkome jeziku, a posljedično tomu, i ostali razgovori o hrani te drugim „ženskim“ poslovima koji su bili zajednički svim ženama, neovisno o podrijetlu. Uzevši u obzir kako je briga oko prehrane obitelji zauzimala izuzetno velik udio u svakodnevici većine žena, nije nezamislivo da su si Osječanke tu brigu nastojale olakšati uporabom samo jednoga jezika, koji je bio njemački.

Published: November 2024

Funkcionalna pismenost kao generalno obilježje društva jedan je od njegovih važnih indikatora razvoja i potencijala. Također, može se reći kako je funkcionalna pismenost, kao sposobnost praktične primjene stečena znanja i spoznaja u svakodnevnim situacijama, ključan čimbenik u uspjehu i razvoju i samoga pojedinca. S druge strane, suvremenost i potencijal društva može se promatrati i kroz asimilaciju i integraciju socijalno ugroženih i marginaliziranih skupina kao najosjetljivijih u društvu. Upravo pitanje funkcionalne nepismenosti navedenih skupina jedan je od ključnih problema u ostvarivanju boljega položaja pojedinaca marginaliziranih skupina u društvu, a samim time i društva u cjelini. Pojam i razvoj funkcionalne pismenosti, stanje funkcionalne pismenosti marginaliziranih skupina te uzroci i posljedice funkcionalne nepismenosti istih, čiji se pregled na temelju relevantnih i suvremenih izvora literature daje u ovome radu, neki su od najaktualnijih i najsloženijih fenomena s kojim se suvremeno društvo mora suočiti. Pitanje funkcionalne nepismenosti marginaliziranih skupina u društvu jedan je od „gorućih“ problema kojemu je potrebno društveno djelovanje, a ovaj je rad prilog osvješćivanju navedene problematike.

Proses pembuatan Ragum-125 Polman, khususnya proses pemesinan rahang tetap dan gerak, masih menggunakan banyak mesin-mesin konvensional sehingga, dibutuhkan banyak alat bantu jig (penepat) dan fixture (penetap), sehingga waktu produksinya lama. Proses pengejaannya membutuhkan empat belas (14) buah set-up dan banyak tahapan proses dari mesin ke mesin yang berbeda, sehingga rentan terjadi kesalahan proses. Mesin perkakas CNC memiliki kemampuan untuk mengerjakan banyak operasi pemesinan dalam satu kali set-up serta dapat meminimalisir kesalahan proses karena gerakannya dikendalikan secara numerik. Meskipun demikian, untuk memanfaatkan kelebihan mesin perkakas CNC, dibutuhkan perencanaan set-up (set-up planning) yang baik dan benar agar proses bisa berjalan sesuai spesifikasi yang ditetapkan. Penelitian ini membahas perencanaan set-up dan pemilihan mesin perkakas untuk proses pemesinan fitur rahang tetap dan gerak ragum 125 Polman Bandung yang terdiri dari 4 tahap yaitu pengelompokan fitur berdasarkan tool approach direction (TAD), pemilihan datum set-up, formasi set-up dan penentuan mesin perkakas, serta pengurutan operasi pemesinan dan pengurutan set-up. Dalam setiap tahapan terdapat Aturan yang berfungsi sebagai petunjuk untuk proses perencanaan set-up. Dalam penelitian ini dihasilkan 19 Aturan dan menghasilkan 2 set-up untuk rahang tetap dan 1 set-up untuk rahang gerak menggunakan mesin CNC horizontal Mitsubishi H4Bn yang mana berhasil menurunkan jumlah set-up dari 14 set-up menjadi 3 set-up dalam proses pemesinan rahang tetap dan gerak ragum 125 Polman Bandung.

El análisis del elemento finito o el modelo del elemento finito es un método investigativo no invasivo pero muy exacto que divide el objeto a estudiar en elementos más pequeños. Es un método que permite realizar investigaciones que de otra forma serían muy complejas o costosas. Sin embargo, para que la investigación tenga un impacto en la comunidad profesional el investigador debe detallar las variables y justificar las suposiciones de la investigación.
[TRANSVERSAL CARE] Network of community spaces for healthy and active old age
Authors: Guerrero Del Pino Adriana Lorena
Published: November 2024

La falsa neutralidad del diseño urbano debido a carencias de políticas urbanas y la ausencia progresiva de lo comunitario han decantado en una pérdida de agencia de la población que habitan el espacio imposibilitando el desarrollo de vida y calidad digna con mira hacia un envejecimiento saludable y activo. Ello resulta en una carencia de herramientas sostenibles, optando por soluciones autónomas para sobrevivir.Mientras que San Juan de Lurigancho, distrito de mayor población en Lima Metropolitana, ha puesto en evidencia la deficiente calidad de vida digna en la población, con énfasis en adultos mayores considerados vulnerables en su totalidad sin comprender que existe una complejidad de perfiles de este grupo poblacional. Se reflejan huellas invisibilizadas al buscar alternativas económicas autónomas desde sus experiencias demostrando su capacidad de agenciamiento desde actividades cotidianas con búsqueda del cuidado del barrio. En ese sentido, resulta necesario redefinir los barrios dotando de agencia a los adultos mayores y aplicando un concepto de cuidado interseccional desde el espacio urbano hasta la población. De manera que, la red de espacios comunitarios de cuidado se plantea como una alternativa de modelo urbano que responda en una primera etapa a las necesidades inmediatas de la población adulta mayor de diversos perfiles, desde tres dimensiones: física a partir de rehabilitación de pendientes de accesibilidad ineficiente; mental, desarrollo de escenarios de calma hacia recreación activa-social, bajo la implantación de módulos flexibles, como primera etapa semilla, respondan y permitan su apropiación del espacio público. Por ello, el proyecto CUIDADOS TRANSVERSALES constituye una crítica a la ciudad desde la carencia de agencia de su población y promoviendo alternativas de calidad de vida digna desde la participación colectiva junto a una arquitectura diseñada desde ellos y para ellos.
¡Vaya a cuidar los niños! Democratización del Espacio Público en la obra de tres mujeres en Cali, Colombia
Authors: Clavijo Liliana Andrea , Pantoja Fredy Fabián
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo examina la obra de tres mujeres diseñadoras de espacio público en Cali: Cascadas de la Loma de la Cruz (1970) de Lyda Caldas, Bulevar del Río (2008 - 2013) de Elly Burchardth y trompetas en la Plazoleta Jairo Varela (2015) de Lucía Alba y su representatividad en el medio profesional, con la intención de develar cuál es su posición en la historiografía de la arquitectura colombiana como mujeres que aportaron proyectos significativos a la ciudad.La experiencia de las mujeres en el espacio público ha sido ampliamente documentada en estudios urbanos, etnográficos y sociales; no obstante, las mujeres como creadoras de estos espacios ha sido poco discutido a nivel disciplinar. Con base en teorías de género, revisión de archivos y entrevistas a mujeres practicantes, interrogamos la exaltación del rol masculinizado de arquitecto-diseñador sobre tareas consideradas "ornamentales" asociadas al rol femenino como el paisajismo, mobiliario e intervenciones artísticas. Tareas que constituyen la base del diseño de espacio público para acoger identidades en disputa, resolver situaciones de cuidado y propender la apropiación y goce en el tiempo.Consideramos la necesidad aportar evidencias sobre nuestras ciudades desde el trabajo de las mujeres para construir nuevas narrativas que permitan visibilizar y valorar sus aportes desde una perspectiva crítica.
Feminismos, géneros y cuidados. Aportes al urbanismo
Authors: Roitman Anabella
Published: November 2024

Feminismos, Géneros y Cuidados son tres nociones que ilustran y condensan luchas, enfoques, perspectivas y posicionamientos políticos. Ya sea desde su concepción como herramientas objetivas para el abordaje de diagnósticos y planes, como desde su consideración más teórica a través de su aporte conceptual, todas ellas constituyen actualmente referencias de peso a la hora de desplegar ideas que puedan transformarse en propuestas y respuestas tangibles para la ciudadanía. Urbanismo Feminista, Perspectiva de géneros, Sociedad de los Cuidados son a su vez algunas acepciones compuestas, impulsadas tanto desde las organizaciones vecinales como desde los organismos internacionales, que vinculan estas nociones a las formas de hacer ciudad, sus paradigmas contextuales y sus posibles metas a alcanzar.Esta ponencia propone una revisión de los tres conceptos enunciados, que visibilice los aportes de mujeres autoras, investigadoras, gestoras culturales y hacedoras de políticas públicas. A la vez apunta a analizar la relación entre los tres conceptos, tanto desde una perspectiva histórica (intentando verificar si existe un orden temporal atribuible a esta triada conceptual, o si existen diversas relaciones temporales), como en relación a su utilización en la actualidad y la intencionalidad de este uso desde las instituciones, desde su abordaje en las políticas públicas en general, y dentro del campo de la disciplina urbanística en particular.

Algunas de ellas provienen del activismo de asociaciones de profesionales de la arquitectura y el urbanismo y de estudiantes de arquitectura, otras cuentan con soporte institucional y un último grupo son resultado de proyectos de investigación académica. Este análisis arroja luz sobre cómo los espacios virtuales están participando del activismo feminista en la actual cuarta ola y presenta datos que permiten comenzar a evaluar su alcance, dilemas y retos.
Subvertendo o Canônico: A Perspectiva Feminista do Coletivo Matrix na metodologia projetual arquitetônica
Authors: Malaquias Thaysa , Amora Ana Albano
Published: November 2024

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a perspectiva de gênero na arquitetura, destacando a importância da inclusão e diversidade em práticas projetuais arquitetônicas. Historicamente, a produção arquitetônica e urbanística foi influenciada por lógicas patriarcais e classicistas, resultando na reprodução de espaços de servidão e na perpetuação da disciplina sobre corpos dissonantes e marginalizados. O Coletivo Feminista Matrix - Feminist Design Co-Operative, fundado na década de 1980 em Londres, foi um dos primeiros grupos a buscar desenvolver uma abordagem feminista para a arquitetura na cidade, promovendo serviços gratuitos de arquitetura para mulheres e trazendo uma nova perspectiva para a prática projetual arquitetônica. A abordagem da Matrix destacava a importância de considerar as necessidades das mulheres no design espacial de espaços públicos e privados, bem como a participação ativa das comunidades locais e uma abordagem feminista e interseccional para o planejamento urbano e arquitetônico. A análise do trabalho da Matrix, sintetizado por meio do livro “Making Space: A Radical Approach to Architecture”, buscará compreender como o espaço construído, sobretudo, seu processo de construção, pode ser uma ferramenta poderosa para a transformações sociais, e que o ensino e a prática projetual da arquitetura devem incorporar essa dimensão.
Women in Mies’s Laboratory of ideas at IIT
Authors: Garcia-Requejo Zaida , Jones Kristin
Published: November 2024

This research aims to enhance and expand understanding of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s influence in America through the study of three hidden figures who were part of Mies’s laboratory of ideas at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. It brings to light three names, Vera Jansone, Gertrude (Peterhans) Lempp Kerbis, and Pao-Chi Chang, to showcase the important work done by the only female students who completed IIT’s master’s thesis program under Mies’s directorship (1939-1959). The presentation aims to recognize the work of these female students in the graduate program as part of the research process of Mies. This process contributed to not only the development of the three younger architects’ careers, but also to Mies’s own architecture and the development of modern architectural ideas in America at large, including the advancement of high-rise and long-span architecture.
Hidden Sewing Spaces. Visualizing the housing and sewing workshops of les jaqueteres of Benimaclet (1940-1975)
Authors: Garcia Sanjuan Julia
Published: November 2024

Despite women working “two-thirds of the world's working hours, producing half of the world's food,” their labour often goes unrecognized, underpaid or even unpaid, and hidden away in the private sphere[1]. This history thesis seeks to make visible the untold story of les jaqueteres, the women that sew jackets and the spaces where they used to work as seamstresses.  Particularly, it focuses on the neighbourhood of Benimaclet, in northern part of the city of Valencia, Spain. This work had not been carried out in the neighbourhood before 1939, as they used to make a living in agriculture. During the post-Spanish Civil War period (post 1939), women were forced to turn to this form of subsistence due to the tense economic situation and contribute to the family income. The houses became workshops, the living rooms served as sewing stations and bedrooms as storage spaces. Yet, the productive activity of sewing jackets, and the conditions in which it was done, were kept hidden from public view. The women went from sewing to cooking or looking after the children, practically without seeing the light of day. Through the analysis of interviews and declarations of some jaqueteres, archival images and fieldwork, this thesis explores the hidden spaces in where these women were sewing. This thesis attempts to shed light on how the houses were reconfigured to become ateliers, the spatial qualities where the work was being done, and the relationship between the public and private spheres. Ultimately, this thesis not only aims to reveal the critical importance of women’s work to the history of humanity, but also to demonstrate the lack of spatial conditions for performing feminised works.
