Regional and Local Markets of Public Social Obligations in Modern Conditions
Authors:   Pushkin Leningrad State University, Cherkasskaya Galina V.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the possibility of markets and market relations of public social obligations in the field of social protection, taking into account the normative and legal understanding of organized social protection car-ried out by the state, and the provisions of the general theory of social protection. Definitions of market and market in social protection, including regional and local levels, are proposed. Markets in the field of social pro-tection were systematized, including the target, subject and spatial boundaries of such markets. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that local and regional markets in the sphere of social protection are of particular im-portance, since they can directly satisfy all the basic needs of the majority of social protection objects facilities in a specific territory. Recommendations are offered to state bodies of regional government on the need to car-ry out additional regulation of these markets at the regional and local levels to minimize the overall and private costs of social protection, improve its efficiency and eliminate the possibility of abuse of market actors, includ-ing market power.
Incorporation of Digital Technologies into Construction: Current Situation and Prospects
Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Chudaeva Alexandra А. , Baryshev Dmitry V. ,   Samara State University of Economics
Published: September 2023

The current state of the construction industry in the Russian Federation is characterized by a low level of digital-ization at the end of 2020–2021, which seems logical under the high degree of uncertainty in the external envi-ronment in which enterprises operate in the Russian Federation during this period of time. Uncertainty gener-ates risks, which lead to higher investors' requirements to the level of project profitability and increase of the return period of financial investments, which does not encourage owners to invest in such projects. However, the introduction of digital technologies in construction is necessary to achieve the national goal – the digital transformation of the Russian economy. To stimulate the process seems necessary through various govern-ment measures, including subsidizing companies for the purchase of the necessary software and advanced training of employees, formalizing clear and binding requirements for the organization of the construction business in modern conditions, placing government orders for buildings with digital innovations, stimulating consumer demand for residential construction facilities equipped with artificial intelligence systems, etc.

Topical Issues of Human Rights Implementation in International Investment Legal Relations
Authors:   Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation, Nugmanova Aliya N.
Published: September 2023

The article focuses on the study of issues of human rights implementation in international investment legal relations, both in the substantive and procedural aspects. The author attempts to reveal the relevance of the research topic and assess the significance of the interaction of international investment law and international human rights law in modern realities. The article reveals the options for the interpenetration of the two branches of public international law, as well as the problems arising as a result of such interaction. Emphasis is placed on the search for a new balance between international investment law and international human rights law, and on the possible identification of ways to promote the protection of human rights while encouraging and protect-ing foreign investment. An attempt is made to identify and comprehensively analyze the possibility of preven-tive integration of human rights in international investment legal relations, as well as its advantages and disad-vantages. Furthermore, the study of substantive and procedural aspects of interaction between international investment law and international human rights law identifies the importance and prospects of the impact of soft law on the realization of human rights in international investment relations. Special attention is paid to the prac-tice of resolving international investment disputes with reference to the protection of human rights as one of the options for the manifestation of the interpenetration of branches of international public law. The author identi-fies the existing patterns in the practice of resolution of international investment disputes. As one of the key conclusions the idea of the possibility of generalization of the results of harmonious interpretation (explanation) and the formation of an appropriate unified legal framework of international public law for its subsequent har-monious application is put forward.
Foreign Legal Regulation Analysis of Deepfakes: Intellectual Property Protection Issue
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Postarnak Anton M.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the issues that arise when modifying various works with the help of “deepfake” technolo-gy (processing by a neural network of an already existing work of another author for various purposes). It is emphasized that the creation of such content causes contradictions in the field of intellectual property protec-tion, since, on the one hand, deepfakes are a secondary product, created by means of artificial intelligence, which is not human and therefore does not have copyrights, and on the other hand, their production uses the already existing intellectual property object, which needs to be protected. Mechanisms of legal regulation of the deepfakes usage sphere in the framework of foreign legislations are described; Russian regulatory norms touching upon the chosen topic are given. Opinions of the scientific community on the most probable way of elimination of gaps in the legislation are investigated. It is deemed that the main approach to copyright protec-tion used by the international community is the recognition of deepfakes as intellectual property. The necessity of changing the Russian legislation taking into account the trends of the world development is outlined.
On the Differentiation and Correlation of Agreements Mediating Loan and Credit Relations
Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Startseva Svetlana V.
Published: September 2023

The paper analyzes the issues of legal regulation of loan and credit relations in civil law relations. In the mod-ern progressive development of society and normative regulation, there are certain areas of legal regulation that do not have unambiguous law enforcement, which causes an immediate need to analyze specific legal structures that, in their totality, constitute a single institution of civil law. The institution under consideration, which mediates loan and credit relations, exists at the intersection of two sciences: law and economics. In to-day’s reality, this area of relations is the core of market relations, and the state of regulation affects the state of the market. The urgent need to conduct a systematic analysis of the norms governing credit and loan relations has become a key factor in choosing the topic of the scientific research. As a result of the system analysis, simi-larities and differences among the considered legal structures were revealed, conclusions were given about the independence of a commercial loan agreement and its accessory nature, and ways were proposed to im-prove the legislation governing loan and credit relations.
Multiplicity of Crimes and Responsibility for Them: Foreign Experience
Authors:   Chechen State University named after A.A. Kadyrov, Borzaev Askhab M.
Published: September 2023

The study is aimed at analyzing the issues of the punishability of multiple crimes in the criminal legislation of some foreign countries. The main forms of multiple crimes are considered, as well as the procedure for impos-ing punishment for criminal acts committed within the criminal laws of France, the Federal Republic of Germa-ny, and the Netherlands. The author draws attention to the fact that these states single out aggregation and re-cidivism as forms of multiplicity of crimes, defining for them a special procedure for sentencing. At the same time, it is indicated that despite the identification of two forms of plurality in the legislation of the studied coun-tries, which have a similar understanding, the issues of punishability are solved in different ways, which may be of some interest to the domestic legislator. Recommendations are given on possible ways to improve the crim-inal legislation of the Russian Federation in terms of the punishability of a plurality of crimes.

The article is focused on theoretical and practical aspects of adaptation of participative management model to Russian conditions on the example of interaction of entrepreneurial community (small business) with local au-thorities in single-industry cities of Nizhny Novgorod region. The interaction between government and business is viewed through the prism of basic theoretical concepts (resource approach, theory of capital); the characteris-tics of the models of interaction between authorities and entrepreneurs that have developed in world practice are presented. Results of a sociological survey carried out by sociologists from National Research University named after N.I. Lobachevsky in the fall of 2022 are presented in this work. The aim of the study (using the method of focus groups) is to determine the readiness of entrepreneurs of small towns in the Nizhny Novgorod region for managing the development of the territory in partnership with local authorities using the participative model. It is concluded that the business communities of Gorodets and Semyonov are focused on interaction with the authorities, but on different models of implementation. It is emphasized that that there are signs of the formation of a collective actor with the potential to develop territories in the course of their participatory man-agement.

Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN), Larina Tatyana I. , Starostina Anna A. ,   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN)
Published: September 2023

The problem of domestic violence in Russia has a special specificity. First, this is due to the high level of sensi-tivity of the problem. Hence, in order to obtain representative data, the study of this phenomenon should be conducted in a comprehensive manner, using the analysis of respondents' non-verbal reactions. This method-ology not only allows the researcher to competently interact with victims of domestic violence, but is also one of the most important aspects to be considered in developing a qualitative sociological toolkit as part of sensitivity questions. Classification of non-verbal characteristics, the most effective in carrying out sociological research, is given in the article. In addition, the article attempts to reveal the main results of a methodological experiment, the goal of which is to determine the presence or absence of nonverbal characteristics, indicating the respond-ents' belonging to a group of domestic violence victims.
“Upper Lars” in Network Media: Mechanism for the Formation of Social Solidarity and Self-Organization
Authors:   Vladikavkaz Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Khapsaeva Dana V.
Published: September 2023

The article examines the influence of modern practices of information and communication on the behavioral strategies of youth on the example of the local situation on the Russian-Georgian border in September 2022, after the announcement of partial mobilization during a special military operation. Designated in various media as a “humanitarian catastrophe” and “collapse”, the situation at the Upper Lars checkpoint has become an indi-cator of a number of social problems. The huge flow of young people who decided to leave the country, caused by partial mobilization, created a situation in which fugitives and patriots, volunteers and corrupt officials, non-resident and local, faced. The aim of the article is to identify the content of network media, which manifests the motivations of different groups of young people, their attitude to the current situation, material and social prob-lems, values and priorities. The composition of the “queue” on Upper Lars, the motives of volunteerism and “illegal entrepreneurship”, attitudes toward relocants and corrupt practices were determined. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that social media play a role in shaping social solidarity and self-organization.
Humanidades Digitales y Roma: una aproximación a nuevas herramientas para el estudio de la Geografía Imperial Romana
Authors: Saez Geoffroy Andres
Published: September 2023

Este artículo se propone caracterizar la geografía romana de época imperial a través de la aplicación de enfoques y técnicas provenientes de las Humanidades Digitales y de las Humanidades Espaciales. Se han analizado 5 autores: Estrabón, Plinio el Viejo, Pomponio Mela, Dionisio el Periegeta y Flavio Arriano. Con cada autor se han utilizado metodologías y herramientas de las Humanidades Digitales: la anotación en Recogito y el análisis de texto de Voyant Tools, para finalmente aplicar el análisis espacial en ArcGIS Pro, herramienta con la cual también se creó una reconstrucción cartográfica. Todo lo anterior permite reforzar y comprender de mejor manera los estudios sobre cómo Roma construyó su territorialidad y además el valor del uso de las Humanidades Digitales dentro de la Historia de la Geografía Antigua.

La valoración y las interrelaciones del arte en la educación, los conocimientos de la ciencia y la tecnología en el desarrollo de los individuos
Authors: Zarur Cortés Jorge
Published: September 2023

El estudio y la práctica de las artes y las ciencias parten de una realidad desconocida, así como de la indagación de las cosas y de las magnitudes de los fenómenos físicos. De la interrelación arte-ciencia existen ya muchos usos en los que los productos artísticos se encuentran científicamente sustentados también bajo impresiones estéticas y con la posibilidad de que estas aplicaciones difundan tanto los conocimientos científico- tecnológicos como los de índole artística, es decir, desde una apreciación subjetiva de las cosas que es parte importante en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje en las instituciones educativas y de cultura, pues con ella se fomenta el proceso creativo de los discentes considerado como un detonante para la adquisición de conocimientos y la práctica de las ciencias y las artes mismas. Por lo anterior, las implicaciones pueden ser múltiples bajo un proceso complejo que generan tanto artistas como tecnocientíficos.
Advantages of ozone disinfection method for water purification over chlorine disinfection
Authors: Hossen Amjad , Ahmed Firoz , Saha Siddhartha Sankar , Mondal Md. Ibrahim H.
Published: September 2023

The improvement of various advancements for water sanitization is a significant issue. Among numerous elective drinking water treatment advances, the well-known disinfectant techniques are ozonation and chlorination to treat drinking water. All through the ozonation procedure, it produces biodegradable organic by-products while in the chlorination process, some risky by-products (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids) are generated. Because of the possible danger of these results, several water purification methods have been reported, such as ozonation, chlorination, UV, etc. During ozonation, exceptionally reactive hydroxyl radicals are produced, which has a crucial effect on purifying water. In this paper, we have discussed the wide use of ozone disinfectants for water treatment with an emphasis on radical chemistry of ozonization as well as advanced oxidation processes instead of the chlorination process, low-cost ozone generation processes, the impact of ozone and chlorine disinfectants on cryptosporidium oocysts, and the removal of seven strains microbes from drinking water. The favorable circumstances, hindrances of the utilization of ozone and chlorine in wastewater treatment, and their confinements in water treatment innovation just as the elective advances, for example, ozone-based oxidation process, catalytic ozonation, photocatalytic oxidation, and so on are additionally clarified in this paper.
Regulation of N-type In2O3 Content on the Conductivity Type of Co3O4 Based Acetone Sensor
Authors: Fu Lijuan , Fan Shuxing , Wang Zhao , Tang Wei
Published: September 2023

A double-jet electrospinning method was adopted to fabricate In2O3/Co3O4 nanofibers (NFs). The sensitivity of In2O3/Co3O4 NFs and In2O3 NFs were compared and analyzed, and the morphology, structure, chemical composition, and gas-sensing properties of the samples were comprehensively characterized. The results show that the introduction of Co3O4 can improve the response of In2O3/Co3O4 to acetone, to 29.52 (In2O3/Co3O4) and 12.34 (In2O3) to 200 ppm acetone at 2000°C, respectively. In addition, the doping of Co3O4 was found to reduce the optimum working temperature of pure In2O3 from 275°C to 200°C. The composite of Co3O4 and In2O3 not only enhances the sensing performance, but also leads to a conversion of p-n conductivity type. The phenomenon of the p-n transition is relevant to operating temperature and proportion of In2O3 and Co3O4. While the enhanced acetone sensing properties of In2O3/Co3O4 NFs may be attributed to the p-n heterojunction between n-type In2O3 and p-type Co3O4 crystalline grains, which promotes the electron migration. The synergistic effects between In2O3 and Co3O4 and the large specific surface area of NFs additionally contribute to the improvements of acetone sensing performance.

Published: September 2023

O mês de março é considerado o mês da mulher em todo o mundo, devido ao dia 08 de março, o Dia Internacional da Mulher. Apesar de ser comemorado oficialmente desde 1975, após instituição da Organização das Nações Unidas - ONU, a data já era celebrada anteriormente desde o início do século XX, onde mulheres reivindicavam melhores condições de trabalho e igualdade de direitos. Infelizmente, a violência contra a mulher ainda é uma triste realidade em todo o globo. De acordo com o Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Direitos Humanos (ACNUDH), o Brasil ocupa o 5º lugar no ranking mundial de feminicídios e, em 2018, foram registradas 1.206 mortes no país.
The problem of intercultural communication in education: culture shock and adaptation to it.
Authors: Khe Yanli
Published: September 2023

The subject of this article refers to the phenomenon of culture shock based on data obtained from a survey of Chinese students studying at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Area Studies of Lomonosov Moscow State University. The signs of culture shock as a social phenomenon and mental state are listed. The reasons leading to culture shock and its consequences are considered. In addition, the history of studying this issue by Russian and foreign scientists is widely presented. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the use of qualitative and quantitative methods for collecting and analyzing the information obtained, as well as the development of approaches to prevent such a situation. The study shows that signs of culture shock are inherent in all Chinese students in Russia to varying degrees. However, through analysis of detailed data, it is discovered that individual differences in intercultural adaptation are more significant. Culture shock is not directly related to gender, but has a certain connection with specialties and courses. Meanwhile, this phenomenon has a greater degree of connection with character and the ability to intercultural communication (the ability to solve problems when faced with them). In addition, measures are proposed aimed at preventing this condition, as well as overcoming the communication barrier, improving intercultural communication and developing international education.
Aerodynamic Control of an Inlet Flow in Crosswind Using Peripheral Bleed Actuation
Authors: Nichols Derek A. , Vukasinovic Bojan , Glezer Ari , Rafferty Bradley
Published: September 2023

The flow within the inlet of an engine nacelle model in the absence of a fan and the presence of crosswind is investigated in wind-tunnel experiments, with specific emphasis on the effects of separation over the inlet’s inner windward surface on the flow distortion and pressure recovery. The inlet’s entrance plane is tilted forward, and its cross section is asymmetric about the horizontal centerline. The flow topology within the inlet is characterized over a range of Mach numbers and crosswind speeds up to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. It is shown that in the presence of sufficiently high crosswind to the inlet speed ratio, a three-dimensional horseshoe-like separation domain is formed over the inlet’s inner windward surface. Owing to the cross-sectional asymmetry of the entrance plane, the separation domain migrates azimuthally downward and expands azimuthally with increased crosswind to the inlet speed ratio. The present investigations demonstrate the utility of flow control for mitigating the adverse effects of the separation. The actuation is based on controllable distributed aerodynamic air bleed that is driven by the pressure differences across the nacelle’s inner and outer surfaces and reattaches the separated base flow up to crosswind speeds of [Formula: see text], resulting in a gain of up to 38% in total pressure recovery and a decrease of up to 55% in total pressure distortion. The efficacy of the bleed actuation can be further improved by tailoring the bleed distribution to the topology of the separated flow domain.
An Evaluation of Digital Information Literacy Skills among Undergraduate Students of Library and Information Science in Universities in Nigeria
Authors: Alex-Nmecha Juliet C. , Ejitagha Stella
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the digital information literacy skills among Library and Information Science (LIS) students in universities in Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research method, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from 279 final-year undergraduate students of Library and Information Science departments in six federal universities offering LIS in Nigeria. The study found that the final-year students of Library and Information Science trust their information search proficiency on the internet. The LIS students are aware of some information resources and not aware of others such as electronic theses and dissertations, e-reference books and e-books. The study revealed that the students frequently used online information resources such as online newspapers, online journal articles, online databases, and internet information. The majority of the students indicated that they do not trust and use information they find on the internet for their academic assignments. To search for information for academic assignments, the students try to use different subject terms on Boolean operators. The study discovered that students preferred digital sources of information, but still used the library to retrieve needed information. It also emerged that the students evaluate information resources by checking for currency, and the author’s name and expertise. The findings of the study may be critical for designing information systems that fit the information needs of students and support information management in developing countries. This could help educators in universities improve the learning experiences of their students and improve their competitiveness in the job market. Digital information literacy skills must become an integral part of higher education curricula in developing countries. Therefore, the study recommends that all students in universities need to take courses on digital information literacy irrespective of their field of study.

Aqueous n-octanol (n=1,2,3,4) mixtures from the octanol rich side are studied by x-ray scattering and computer simulation, with focus on structural changes, particularly in what concerns the hydration of the hydroxyl-group aggregated chain-like structures, under the influence of various branching of the alkyl tails. Previous studies have indicated that hydroxyl-group chain-cluster formation is hindered in proportion to the branching number. Here, water mole-fractions up to x=0.2 are examined, i.e. up to the miscibility limit. It is found that water molecules within the hydroxyl-chain domains, participate to the chain formations in different manner for the 1-octanol and the branched octanols. The hydration of the octanol hydroxyl chains is confirmed by the shifting of the scattering pre-peak to low momentum transfer both from measured and simulated x-ray scattering intensities, which corresponds to an increased size of the clusters. Experimental x-ray scattering amplitudes are seen to increase with increasing water content for 1-octanol, while this trend is reversed in all branched octanols, with the amplitudes decreasing with the increase of branching number n. Conjecturing that amplitude of pre-peaks are related to the density of corresponding aggregates, these results interpreted as water breaking large OH hydroxyl chains in 1-octanol, hence increasing the density of aggregates, while enhancing hydroxyl aggregates in branched alcohols by inserting itself into the OH chains. Hence, water acts as a structure maker or breaker in inverse proportion to the hindering of OH hydroxyl chain structures arising from the topology of the alkyl tails (branched or not)

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials composed of metal ions and organic ligands. These materials have garnered significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications such as the capture of hazardous molecules, catalysis, production of value-added compounds and detection of ions or molecules in water. Despite their immense potential in various research fields, MOFs are rarely introduced in lower-division undergraduate chemistry courses. The aim of this study was to generate student interest in research by developing a new MOF laboratory experience. Students were tasked with synthesizing, characterizing, and utilizing MOFs to capture a hazardous molecule, using an inquiry-based learning approach. Over three laboratory periods, undergraduate students received instructions for synthesizing four MOFs. They were given the freedom to choose which MOF to synthesize and use for capture of either methylene blue or iodine. This hands-on experience exposed students to techniques not typically explored in general chemistry, including the use of crystallographic information files to examine MOF structures, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. At the end of the term, students presented their work during a formal poster session where they received valuable feedback from faculty and graduate students at Oregon State University. Additionally, students participated in a survey to provide feedback on the learning outcomes of this new experiment, in which they expressed their interest in further exploring MOFs in the future.

Representation of the Electorate in the Eerste Kamer
Authors: Ter Laak Tom
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to assess to what extent the Eerste Kamer, one of the chambers of the Dutch parliament, provides political representation. This is done by comparing three models of political representation to the political reality. These three models are the trustee, the delegate, and the resemblance models. All three models and their respective characteristics are explained in the paper before moving to the analysis. The paper concludes that political representation is not realized through these three models in the instance of the Eerste Kamer, as it fails to fulfil key characteristics of all three. The paper also evaluates some possible solutions for increasing political representation in light of these models.

Freedom and Equality for the Sake of National Independance?
Authors: Seland Henning
Published: September 2023

Fukuzawa Yukichi is considered to be one of the most important Japanese philosophers during the Meiji period (1868-1912) who is known for his strong advocacy of liberal values such as freedom and equality. His plea contained the political demands of liberalising Japanese society and reforming its strict social hierarchy. However, within the logical structure of Fukuzawa’s argument, these principles only assume an instrumental value in which they are conceived as a means to secure Japan’s national independence, which ultimately weakens his endorsement of liberalism. The case of Fukuzawa Yukichi thereby constitutes a particularly important example of how the instrumental approach towards liberal rights by philosophers in Meiji Japan undermined the liberal movement itself and contributed to its own decline and the corresponding rise of nationalism.

Gender-Based Violence During the Armenian Genocide
Authors: De Jong Sanne
Published: September 2023

This paper analyses atrocities during the Armenian genocide through a gendered lens. Asking to what extent men and women have been differently affected by gender-based violence, Carpenter’s framework is applied that specifically recognises men’s often-overlooked victimisation of gender-based violence. The application concludes that men were, just like women, victims of gender-based violence during the Armenian genocide, but that the rationales behind the targeting of women and men greatly differed. It follows that, while Carpenter is right in arguing that gender-based violence against women and men cannot be prevented separately from each other, as the gender roles naturalising the violence depend on one another, the mainstreaming of gender in atrocity-prevention and treatment should still safeguard female-tailored sexual violence prevention and treatments, given their remaining higher victimisation and the additional underlying rationales for their victimisation that do not apply to men.

SiR-DNA/SiR–Hoechst-induced chromosome entanglement generates severe anaphase bridges and DNA damage

Published: September 2023

SiR-DNA/SiR–Hoechst is a far-red fluorescent DNA probe that is routinely used for live-cell imaging of cell nuclei in interphase and chromosomes during mitosis. Despite being reported to induce DNA damage, SiR-DNA has been used in more than 300 research articles, covering topics like mitosis, chromatin biology, cancer research, cytoskeletal research, and DNA damage response. Here, we used live-cell imaging to perform a comprehensive analysis of the effects of SiR-DNA on mitosis of four human cell lines (RPE-1, DLD-1, HeLa, and U2OS). We report a dose-, time-, and light-dependent effect of SiR-DNA on chromosome segregation. We found that, upon the exposure to light during imaging, nanomolar concentrations of SiR-DNA induce non-centromeric chromosome entanglement that severely impairs sister chromatid segregation and spindle elongation during anaphase. This causes DNA damage that is passed forward to the following cell cycle, thereby having a detrimental effect on genome integrity. Our findings highlight the drawbacks in using SiR-DNA for investigation of late mitotic events and DNA damage-related topics and urge the use of alternative labeling strategies to study these processes.

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever o perfil epidemiológico da Leishmaniose Tegumentar Americana (LTA) e da Leishmaniose Visceral (LV) na população do município de Montes Claros/MG no período de 2016 a 2020. Quanto ao método, trata-se de um estudo com base em recolha documental e quantitativo realizado a partir do banco de dados eletrônico do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Os principais resultados evidenciaram registradas 457 notificações, sendo 328 casos de LTA e 129 casos de LV. O perfil do público acometido em ambas as doenças foi principalmente do sexo masculino, faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos, que possuem ensino fundamental incompleto e declaradas pardas. Os dados permitem concluir que a LTA apresenta um constante aumento no número de casos, mas a LV vem reduzindo a sua incidência. Assim, torna-se necessário reforçar e ampliar as políticas de controle da doença uma vez que se trata de uma região historicamente endêmica e que vem apresentando elevado número de casos nos últimos anos.
Pool Piazza
Authors:   , Chan Ho Yan Janice
Published: September 2023

Public swimming pools are undeniably public spaces that positively contribute to communities and cities by providing valuable amenities such as exercise, entertainment, fun, education, recreation and spaces for children. Dan Hill’s comparison of the Australian public swimming pool to a European piazza, in the way that the pool operates as a public hub, has informed this research, and prompted the question: How can the conceptualisation of a pool as piazza inform the design of a truly public and civic pool for Wellington? The design-led research responds to this question through the speculative design of a new public “pool piazza” for Wellington that foregrounds the immediate, experiential and fun potentials of an urban pool. The design response investigates the prospect of outdoor public swimming in the context of an inner-city location and how a public swimming pool can have a bigger presence in the urban, cultural and social context of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The swimming pool is used as a site to explore social and urban conditions, while borrowing its open and playful typology. Design-led research methods of drawing, physical and digital modelling, photography and collage are used to explore possibilities of an urban pool for Wellington through the development of ‘pool tools’ that explore “pool piazza” moments, and over 15 iterations of potential “pool piazzas”. The research revealed a dynamic urban pool landscape suited towards Wellington’s changing weather conditions that invites different types of occupation throughout the seasons and different levels of engagement with water. Theories and precedents of public space and urban design guide the research in an attempt to reveal the social potentials of public swimming pools as valuable destinations in the city.
