Aşağı sidik yollarının afferent innervasiyasına həm simpatik, həm də təkvektorlu yükləməni daşıyan parasimpatik şöbələr daxildir. Sidik kisəsi və uretrada iki növ sensor reseptorlar mövcuddur – əsasən, adventisial qişa, əzələlər və kisənin dibində selikaltı qatda lokallaşmış olan gərginlik, təzyiq (Paçini cisimcikləri) reseptorları və əsasən sidik kanalının proksimal şöbəsində və uretro-vezikal ağızda yerləşən həcm reseptorları (“qatlı reseptorlar”). Onların hər ikisi adrenergik və xolinergik sinir liflərinə malikdir. Sidik kisəsinin sfinkter aparatının formalaşması yalnız yetkinlik yaşının (pubertat) başlanğıcına tamamlanır, kisənin özünün kiçik çanaq boşluğuna sürüşməsi isə iki mərhələdə baş verir və eyni ilə əsasən 12-13 yaşına başa çatır.

There are two types of sensory receptors in the bladder and urethra – tension, pressure (Pacchini corpuscles) receptors mainly localized in the adventitial membrane, muscles and submucosal layer at the base of the bladder, and volume receptors (“layered receptors”) located mainly in the proximal branch of the urethra and urethro-vesical mouth. They both have adrenergic and cholinergic nerve fibers. The formation of the sphincter apparatus of the bladder is completed only at the beginning of adulthood (puberty), and the sliding of the bladder itself into the small pelvic cavity occurs in two stages and usually ends with the same year at the age of 12-13.

In this study, experimental protocol to simulate wind-induced vibration of post-installed anchor embedded in concrete was developed. The proposed loading protocol was based on the ratio of deformation due to seismic load and dynamic wind load of anchors in the connection between the sign structure and the concrete building. Then, based on ACI 355.2 and the developed protocol, numerous experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of anchor under simulated seismic and wind loads. In simulated seismic test, crack width of concrete did not affect the performance of anchor. Their maximum force as well as residual capacity showed practically the same value. Moreover, anchor used in this experiment satisfied the condition to be rated as full capacity for seismic performance. In simulated wind test, the crack width did not cause any difference in performance of the anchor in tension test. Though, in simulated wind shear test, there was a major difference for the anchor residual capacity. Additionally, the performance of anchor in simulated wind test did not satisfy the criteria to be rated as full capacity.

There are many agents in a supply chain, each of which has its uncertainty and risk. A contract between agents could reduce the risk. In this paper, an insurance contract with three parameters; retailer’s risk share, supplier’s risk share, and the premium transferred between them is considered to maximize the profit for all agents. Three mathematical models were developed for different types of a supply chains, and one thousand initial scenarios were generated in this stochastic programming. A new algorithm was proposed to reduce the number of scenarios. Three models are programmed and solved in MATLAB software. From the numerical examples solved, the results show that when the retailer gives 0.75 of losses from over and under stock, keeping, and salvage costs, the insurance contract has its best performance, and the supply chain has 2.4% extra benefit using it, almost near the maximum profit that is possible.

In the present paper, Inconel 718 alloy was prepared by direct metal laser sintering. The bare alloy was post-processed through different heat-treatment routes, and the changes in its metallurgical and microstructural properties were investigated. In comparison to the bare alloy, grains in the overlapping region of the heat-treated alloys became refined. The strengthening phase of γ’ and γ” precipitations was high in the heat-treated alloys. Furthermore, cyclic oxidation studies were conducted on the bare and heat-treated samples at 1000°C. The variation in mass change per unit area and the corresponding corrosion mechanism were explored. Moreover, the formation mechanism of surface oxides under the influence of each alloying element was discussed. Chromium oxides were mainly formed during oxidation, and the mass change of the heat-treated alloys increased with these oxides. Therefore, an appropriate heat-treatment plan is highly recommended to prevent an alloy from continuous degradation and oxide formation.

The results show small networks with few significant “alters” (five to eight), without weak ties in areas of relationship with neighbours or other acquaintances, and in which the prevailing language of communication was the same as that of “ego” – with, in some cases, multicultural networks using different languages of communication.
The Effect of an Intercultural Communication Model on the Reading Comprehension of Refugee and Underprivileged Learners

This study describes a shifting of paradigm in the literacy education of Syrian refugees and underprivileged Lebanese learners (n = 72) in three eighth-grade classes in a public school in Lebanon. The study used a pre/post experimental control-group design to address its research questions. As complement to a Human Rights Education curriculum framework suggested in 2018, an intercultural communication model named the Third Space Literature Circle (TSLC) is offered, its goal to improve the reading comprehension of underprivileged Syrian and Lebanese learners. An experimental group (n=49), received the TSLC model instruction whereas the control group (n=23), received the regular reading instruction. Results show that the experimental group outperformed the control group; in particular, some members of the experimental group became more fluent describing their experiences than their control group-counterparts.
Swipe Inwards

Infrastructures of accessibility have a significant impact on people’s sensory experience of privacy, autonomy, and security in a psychiatric hospital. This is the case for patients and staff. Through an examination of the material and social interactions that staff and patients have at four inpatient psychiatric units, we have identified some of the affective aspects of using a variety of technologies. From locked and alarmed doors, to swipe cards, keys, and individual wristbands used to allow secure access and privacy within the units, each of these infrastructures afford different and sometimes paradoxical experiences. Through this analysis of the ways in which the embodied experiences of accessibility exist in relation to the interior technicities, this article discusses some of the implications for the design and use of physical environments that are dedicated to care, specifically, for psychiatric wellbeing.
Locative Atmospheres
Authors: Geck Kate
Published: August 2022

Smartphones and social media create locative atmospheres: transportable, affective spaces modulated by the data of our temporal, networked identities. How might these atmospheres form, and how can we consider them in interior design? The conditions of these locative atmospheres are emergent; our practices with technology evolve quickly, requiring an understanding of how they affect us that extends beyond specific devices and applications. Within this ever-evolving context, it is crucial that interior design students have a philosophical understanding of the ways that technology might intersect with humans and lived space. Atmosphere is a useful spatial construct to begin unpacking this relationship in order to develop a critical stance. How might technology entangle with people atmospherically? This paper will read diffractively around theoretical positions, looking for patterns that might help to understand how atmospheres might emerge through technology. Initially, it will introduce atmospheric practices as a way of orienting the relationship between humans, affect, and atmosphere. It will then consider how the practices of technology are implicated in this relationship through the formatted subject and computational models of mind that are controlled by algorithms within the data gaze. Intersecting these ideas with Karen Barad’s agential realism allows that the practices of technology might be atmospheric, to view our engagement with networked devices as producing an ongoing archipelago of locative atmospheres. It will conclude by speculating on ways to design attentively in order to reconsider our entanglement with data-driven, networked technologies in lived space.
Shared Reality
Authors: Parry Jack
Published: August 2022

This article presents a phenomenological inquiry in the extreme environments of the Arctic winter and of ‘Shared Reality’—a hybrid form of virtual reality merging spherical video documentation, virtual reality and present reality. The inquiry was carried out in two parallel spheres of ownness: one in the Arctic and the other in the Shared Reality. The outcome was documented using the footage of a spherical 360° camera in the Arctic and thick description to provide accounts of the lived experience in both spheres of ownness. Shared Reality facilitates a perspective into phenomenology that incorporates multiple key ideas of several important thinkers. The inquiry tests the phenomenological perspectives of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, and examines the coupling between body, environment, and lived experience as well as the creative process. The combined experience brings together parallel states of active coping, inhabiting a shared phenomenological field and sphere of ownness.
Occupying Merzbau – the critic, her words and the work
Authors: Berstrand Tordis
Published: August 2022

In the early twentieth century, German artist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) constructed the work Merzbau [Merz building] inside his studio in the family residence in Hanover, Germany. The interior developed from a series of Merzsäulen [Merz columns] which eventually grew into a continuous spatial structure along with three of the studio’s four walls. The central floor space was left empty while some elements stretched across the ceiling above. Only three photographs, taken in 1933 by a local photographer, have survived as evidence of the work which was destroyed by allied bombing during World War II. Schwitters had, by then, fled Germany and travelled to Norway where he would start the construction of a new Merz building. The following examines the Hanover Merzbau as a work of art embedded in the fabric of a conventional residential house. It explores how, employing the intermediary space of the artist’s studio, the work unfolded an inhabitable wall space built from scrap material collected from the streets of Hanover. If Schwitters seems to have grounded himself between the interior and exterior of his house through the intricate weaving of a liminal living space, the following addresses this space between the ordinary/familiar and the extraordinary/strange that Merzbau negotiated. It does so for the purpose of framing the work’s attempt at transcending its everyday domestic setting. Radical writing strategies developed by French novelist George Perec (1936-1982) are employed for experimentation with the way that insight into Merzbau is produced. This approach involves detailed descriptions of places and scenes that complicate the extra/ordinary nature of these in pursuit of a space beyond named the ‘infra-ordinary.’ Three positions between the artwork Merzbau, the conventional dwelling house inside which it was built, and the critic evaluating the work, are developed for the purpose of foregrounding the act of writing as a critical and creative spatial practice.
Outside in

Published: August 2022

The current COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense value on our interior settings and their respective objects. As a result, interior spaces, augmented with virtual streams of data, are becoming instrumental settings for everyday activities. Such a state engenders new thinking regarding interior space, one in which private settings are understood as primary nodes for public exchanges. The implications of this new environment are all-encompassing, positioning the most intimate places and objects at the core of improvised virtual communities and subjecting private spaces to rapid retooling to address unfamiliar urgencies. The resulting condition  is one of amalgamated physical and virtual parameters, often with discordant assemblies. Central to this unfolding state of affairs, technology has emerged as an indispensable medium. The legibility of our settings through digital devices has led to a new type of processed interior space; fragmented and dispersed across various localities, it is unified through its reading within the boundary of the screen.
This article presents a set of graphic reflections on computer-screen interiors, coined screenteriors. While this new public interior was courtesy of a global pandemic, it is here to stay. Screenteriors are set within our intimate places and privy to various facets of our everyday lives. They are transmitted in real-time and often recorded on distant storage clouds, scrambled at times, subject to delays and freezes, filtered, and modified at will, streamed back and forth between recipients and devices, and always under the gaze of the camera. Here and now, a new interior emerges where screens frame and interpolate a new typology of space.
Re-collecting space

Published: August 2022

As the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist has noted, ‘museums were supposed to be an objective archive of the past... but this does not mean the museum is simply a resting place.’01 The museum is a public space, but it also has its origins in the Wunderkammer of private collections. The tension between the two — public display and private appreciation — is still present in the museum. As the artist Remy Zaugg reflected in 1986 in relation to the places of encounters between artworks and people in the public spaces of the art museum: ‘The relationship between a singular work and a singular beholder is intimate almost private.’02 Internally, museums function at both macro and micro scales simultaneously, and at public and private levels of engagement.
This article investigates the tension between public display and private appreciation by examining one such museum interior that has, in recent months, oscillated between being a public institution and a private collection. The Grand Gallery of the National Museum of Scotland (1866) is one of the most popular public spaces in Edinburgh. On 17 March 2020, this interior changed when lockdown closed the doors of the museum to the public. However, the interior and its objects did not remain at rest during this time. Reflecting on two visits to the Grand Gallery, this article discusses this change in the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Through primary observations, historical and theoretical investigations, this article exemplifies how the experience of an ordinary public interior was reconceptualised during the COVID-19 pandemic by restating relations between objects, people, and the notion of being in the public sphere, both physically and in the digital realm.

Indigenous tree seedlings play a very critical role in restoration of degraded lands owing to their adaptability and resilience in dryland areas. Development of indigenous seedlings in tree nurseries is therefore an exercise of great essence. This has caused a need for review of practices to improve performance of the seedlings in the nurseries to aid in quality improvement. Tree nurseries have been observed to have varied potting material sizes which would affect seedlings growth and development. Potting material sizes have been observed to have profound effects on water retention, soil fertility and seedling growth parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different potting tube sizes on Z. mauritiana seedlings growth and development in drylands. We evaluated three potting tube sizes; with their varying volumes; 4 x 6 (4683 cm3), 5 x 8 (9216 cm3) and 6 x 9 (22046 cm3). The results showed that potting tube size had a significant effect on the seedlings root collar diameter and height. The seedlings planted in 5 x 8 and 6 x 9   tubes had significantly higher height (p < 0.05) than those planted in 4 x 6 cm potting tubes. The means were significantly different at p < 0.05). One Way ANOVA revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean heights and RCD of seedlings planted in each of the potting tube sizes; F (2,237) = 15.82, p = 0.00 and, F (2,237) =11.595, p = 0.00 respectively. Tukey’s HSD test for multiple comparisons was used to separate the means. Therefore, this study concludes that different potting tube sizes have significant impact on the development of the root collar diameter. Therefore, the use of larger potting tubes (6 x 9) is recommended for raising seedlings to increase growth and development in seedlings.

Contextualizar históricamente los espacios museales ha sido un reto debido a la poca información que se ha podido investigar sobre la constitución de algunos museos en el Ecuador, si algo se ha podido obtener es sobre el primer Museo Nacional que estuvo ubicado en la ciudad de Quito desde 1839. A raíz de los procesos independentistas que se empezaron a visibilizar en la ciudad de Guayaquil y debido a un importante auge comercial de muchos productos que empezaron a ingresar por el puerto, se crea el Museo Industrial representado por objetos representativos de la nación y de sus habitantes poco a poco se va fortaleciendo y enriqueciendo y es así que en el 1908 pasa a constituirse como Museo Municipal de Guayaquil cuyo objetivo fue mostrar las reliquias y memorias de nuestros antepasados. A través de esta investigación se pretende reflexionar sobre instituciones que busquen crear un sentimiento de identidad que permita mantener el legado patrimonial como evidencia de identidad territorial con pedagogías críticas que conviertan a estos espacios en sitios articuladamente participativos, además es importante saber de qué manera ha apoyado el gobierno local, provincial y nacional durante estos procesos de construcción de muchos de estos museos.
