Medium Density Beyond the Missing Middle
Authors:   University of Texas at Austin, Haettasch Martin
Published: August 2023

The question of housing in America’s growing urban centers has gravitated towards extremes in recent years: efforts at densification have sparked massive developments of multi-story apartment blocks, on the other hand the free standing single family house remains to date the unchallenged ideal of many Americans. Austin, TX is no exception to this trend: Single-family homes continue to make up by far the largest share of housing while large multifamily structures have seen a steady increase by about 40% over the last decade1. This development has led to spatial and social disparities. While multi-unit structures have accelerated the urbanization of a few neighborhoods and corridors, and cater to a transient population of young professionals, rising property values have made the “house” an increasingly unattainable dream for many middle class families. This lack of a middle ground has been aptly identified within the discourse of New Urbanism as the “Missing Middle,”2 referring to the density range between the apartment block and the single family house as much as a vanishing “middle class”. The Missing Middle promotes walkable neighborhoods with housing densities able to sustain local amenities and businesses without sacrificing essential comforts of the single family home. Gaining ground throughout planning departments across North America, the idea has increasingly come to be reflected in the rewriting of zoning codes.3. But despite the groundwork being laid, a true design discourse to give form(s) to the idea has yet to emerge. All too often, Missing Middle housing is reduced to a mere zoning problem or entangled in a retrogressive formal agenda and the desire to create a simulacrum of a pre-modern city based on pre-WWII housing types. All but absent from this discourse is the rich legacy of modernist experimental housing that explored the medium density range – often already perceived as counter model to CIAM’s pre-war doctrine of the functionalist city. Regardless of successes or failures, this discourse hinged on two crucial recognitions. First: the unit always prefigures a (possible) city, and the smallest domestic space begins to suggest attitudes towards the relationship between individuals, architecture, and the city; and second: these relationships are inherently a design problem.
URBAN OPEN SOURCE: Synthesis of a Citizen- Centric Framework to Design Densifying Cities

Published: August 2023

Prominent urbanizing centres across the globe like Delhi, Dhaka or Manila have exhibited that development often faces a challenge in bridging the gap among the top-down collective requirements of the city and the bottom-up individual aspirations. When this exclusion is intertwined with rapid urbanization and diversifying urban demography: unplanned sprawl, poor planning and low-density devel¬opment emerge as automated responses. In parallel, new ideas and methods of densification and public participation are being widely adopted as sustainable alternatives for the future of urban development. This research advocates a col¬laborative design method for future development: one that allows rapid application with its prototypical nature and an inclusive approach with mediation between the ‘user’ and the ‘urban’, purely with the use of empirical tools. Building upon principles of ‘open-sourcing’ in design, the research establishes a context-responsive ‘open source development framework’ that can be used for on-ground applications. In its process, the research has referred to the Sarojini Nagar large-scale redevelopment in the core of New Delhi as a field experiment – a case that encompasses extreme physical, demographic and economic diversity. This framework is used for a simulated model development at five prevalent scales in design: master planning, urban design, architecture, tectonics and modularity, in a chronological manner. At each of these scales, the possible approaches for open-sourcing are identified and validated, through hit-&-trial, and subsequently recorded. Over the five-step framework, a two-part subsidiary process is also suggested after each cycle of application, for continued appraisal and refinement. The research is an exploration – of the possibilities for an architect – to re-calibrate the architectural design process and make it more responsive and people-centric, to assume the role of a creator for a dynamic and responsive development framework.
Ferguson, USA: Mapping the Political
Authors:   Washington University in St. Louis, Heyda Patty
Published: August 2023

In under-served, poor U.S. urban and suburban neighborhoods, years of racialized policy maneuvers and corporate wrangling have clouded architects’ prospects of impactfully engaging communities. This project offers another lens on conceptualizing sites complicated by those invisible economic forces. Ferguson, USA is part of a mapping project that spatializes the political, together with the formal and processual. It updates inherited conventions of “site analysis,” and helps us expand the landscape urbanist notion of a productive “urban surface,” as a new pedagogy for more critically engaging place.1 The pages here present a snapshot of drawings that re-cast the contested suburban landscape of Ferguson, MO through the particularities of the political economy that shape it.2
La violencia del discurso económico patriarcal
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Dávila Hernández Alberto ,   Universidad Pedagógica Nacional
Published: August 2023

A lo largo de la historia, el capitalismo se ha valido de numerosos discursos para legitimar y justificar las desigualdades sociales, económicas y políticas. Uno de ellos es el económico patriarcal, el cual se caracteriza por articular mecanismos e ideas machistas, misóginos y sexistas para explotar a las mujeres. El discurso capitalista patriarcal se torna violento porque daña la integridad moral y psicológica de las afectadas. Estar conscientes de dichos discursos es fundamental con miras a generar una discontinuidad histórica que rompa con el sentido de la supuesta lógica patriarcal, ya que fractura la estructura argumentativa del discurso de poder que legitima las desigualdades de género.
Zacatecas, por senderos del muy violento despojo del oro, plata y del litio también
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Valadez Rodríguez Alfredo
Published: August 2023

Los grandes capitales mineros ocupan los territorios donde se alojan riquezas naturales, sin importarles se están bañadas en sangre, dolor y muerte. La acumulación de capital tiene como trasfondo el despojo del territorio en un escenario de violencia, inseguridad e ingobernabilidad, en muchas regiones de México. Zacatecas es una entidad convertida en un teatro de una guerra atroz, ocasionada, en parte, por los reacomodos estructurales y empresariales en las cúpulas del narcotráfico, cuyos intereses cruzan la frontera norte del país, imposible de ocultar con los abrazos del discurso oficial. El «negocio» del narcotráfico desencadena una guerra que supera diariamente las estadísticas previas de homicidios dolosos, privaciones ilegales de la libertad, y el desplazamiento forzado de personas, y tendrá un efecto colateral favorable a los capitales vinculados a industria trasnacional minera. Como se avizora en los capitales que vienen por el litio «nacionalizado».

Violencias y desarrollos: asociaciones inevitables y esenciales
Authors:   Centro Latino Americano de Ecología Social (CLAES), Montevideo, Uruguay, Gudynas Eduardo
Published: August 2023

Al considerar los diferentes niveles en el desarrollo, desde sus bases conceptuales y sensibles a las acciones, las violencias aparecen en todos ellos, con encadenamientos en uno y otro sentido. La asociación entre violencias y desarrollo posee determinantes históricos en las ideas de progreso y en el colonialismo, lo que determina la inevitabilidad de la violencia y su esencialidad en cualquier concepción de desarrollo. Las violencias, por tanto, no son consecuencias u obstáculos al desarrollo, sino que son consustanciales a éste. Resolver las violencias implica alternativas al desarrollo.
Economía política del capital criminal: Estado, capital y sociedad
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas, Márquez Covarrubias Humberto
Published: August 2023

El capital criminal representa un capitalismo sui generis que cobra sentido en la trama global del sistema capitalista, cuando engarza lo ilegal y lo legal, lo formal y lo informal y lo nacional y lo global. En la cadena de valor criminal, las mercancías ilícitas de exportación, encabezadas por las drogas, los países productores y distribuidores captas una menor porción del valor agregado y los países consumidores y centros del capital financiero retienen los mayores márgenes. La cuestión criminal no es una anomalía o deformación, sino que forma parte de la trama de reproducción del capital a escala mundial, en tanto que los procesos criminógenos se inscriben en la trama de la reproducción social que le es consustancial.

Campos de poder en reconfiguración: político, militar y delictivo
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Astorga Luis
Published: August 2023

Para descifrar las claves del momento histórico de la realidad mexicana contemporánea, en el presente artículo se analiza la reconfiguración de tres campos de poder: político, militar y delictivo. Con base en sus estudios sociohistóricos el autor argumenta que el poder político posrevolucionario en México subordinó al poder delictivo durante varias décadas. Esta correlación de fuerzas se empezó a modificar a raíz de cambios cualitativos en los campos político y delictivo, con el resultado de una mayor autonomía relativa de los grupos delictivos respecto del poder político. El poder militar ha estado presente desde la formación del Estado mexicano posrevolucionario. Ha cobrado nuevo vigor con el papel que se le ha asignado en el combate a las drogas ilegalizadas y la política de militarización de la seguridad pública en México.
Research on Revitalizing Aboriginal Culture and Application of New Media in Taiwan
Authors: Chen Chi-Hsiung , Ku Chin-Yi
Published: August 2023

Ethnic culture usually is formed strongly by the majority, and then integrates the culture of the minority, resulting in colonization and eradication. Aboriginal culture was the accumulation of the wisdom of various ethnic groups. Due to the integration of ethnic groups and cultures, Taiwan's aboriginal culture has gradually disappeared. The issue of cultural revitalization has become an issue of concern to contemporary aboriginal people. Carrying out the literature review, we sort out the origin and development of the cultures of various ethnic groups. The documents related to the rights of indigenous peoples in the world, the current application status of traditional media, new media, and the indigenous ethnic groups in Taiwan are discussed. For this article, in-depth interviews were conducted with Aboriginal scholars and the media. Grounded theory was used to collect, analyze data, and interpret the process of inductive analysis. The qualitative computer software Nvivo was used to analyze and code to establish a framework matrix for interview results. In the concept coding, the category was derived and the concept of the main axis was established, and the chart of the visualization of the analysis results was presented. The results presented that the use of new media to revitalize aboriginal culture was currently the best way to obtain the greatest benefit at the least cost. Tribal people used social media to connect in traditional festivals, clan cooperation, and clan talent and knowledge cultivation. In the topic of cultural revival, more different aspects of thinking were stirred up. In addition, in terms of cultural inheritance, "talent development" was an issue that all ethnic groups need to pay more attention to. By cultivating ethnic talents, improving self-cultural identity, and joining the ranks of cultural revival, endowed with a sense of mission to inherit indigenous culture.

Nowadays, many design models and strategies are mentioned in the development of a circular economy, and enterprises also are adopting their applicable implementation methods. There are different levels of consideration of the circular economy from the selection of raw materials to the production process of products and the final recycling. Therefore, it is required to further explore and analyze how and when companies better create and how they value sustainable products. Therefore, this research was carried out to understand the company's design thinking model for product sustainability and find out the relevant vital elements. After completing the expert interview, grounded theory was used to analyze the collected data by grouping them into the categories of "open coding", "axis coding" and "selective coding". The results allowed the understanding of all aspects of sustainable product design development such as the current environment, design methods, operations management, loop feedback, and future-looking projects. At the same time, a feasible business model with a sustainable product cycle design was discussed. Based on the result and discussion, suggestions and opinions were made for the practical circular design of enterprises, the direction of the design and necessary considerations, and the implementation of the design as references for sustainable product development of the industry.

Tunable reflection coating to reduce exposure power threshold for interference-assisted two-photon polymerization lithography
Authors: Zhao Xiang-Yu , Zhao Yuan-Yuan , Luo Hai-Chao , Duan Xuan-Ming
Published: August 2023

We proposed a strategy to significantly reduce the exposure power threshold for two-photon lithography on tunable reflection coating substrates. The focused light spot at the photoresist-reflective interface is modulated into a multi-layered distribution, which has an enhanced optical field compared to the incident light. The interference of incident and reflected light at the interface enhances the local light field by 1.6–3.4 times, equivalent to reducing the incident exposure power. The tailored multilayer nanowires fabricated by a single scan and the exposure power modulation mechanism proposed in this study would be of profound importance in the fields of semiconductor electronic devices.
The concept of quantitative accounting of factors of reduction of long-term accounts receivable cost
Authors: Kunin V. A. , Konkova S. G.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To propose the concept of quantitative accounting of factors of long-term receivables cost reduction and to develop a methodical approach to the realization of the mentioned concept.

Tasks. To identify the factors of cumulative decrease in the value of long-term receivables. To  propose a methodology of its quantitative assessment for each of the factors. To study the sensitivity of cumulative decrease in the value of long-term receivables to changes in each of the factors.

Methods. The research utilized a systematic approach to identifying and assessing the factors of long-term receivables cost reduction. The methods of factor and correlation-regression analysis, as well as analytical dependencies determining quantitative estimates of individual factors were applied.

Results. The concept on quantitative accounting of factors of receivables value decrease in the framework of the cumulative reduction factor φ methodology is proposed, where the generalized formula of its decomposition by four factors is given. In the study, the factors of receivables value reduction factors involved in the formula are digitized in terms of the impact on the value of receivables of each of them. In determining the factors K1 and K3, a five-factor regression equation and a two-factor regression equation are constructed respectively. The obtained results can be applied in the concept of development and realization of innovation policy of the enterprise. Two variants of calculation of the K2 factor, which give a quantitative assessment of debt obligations security, are proposed. The formula for calculating the factor K4, which reflects the cost of attracted short-term credit resources to cover cash gaps resulting from accounts receivable, is proposed. As a result of quantitative assessment of influence factors, the formula for calculating the determination of the value of receivables is derived, the application of which will provide a fair result of market value assessment, which will ensure the most effective management of long-term receivables in conditions of economic instability.

Conclusions. Qualitative accounting of factors of decrease in the value of long-term receivables necessitates the use of a methodical approach for their quantitative assessment. Practical application of the proposed approach will give the most reliable result of determining the market value of accounts receivable, which, in turn, will allow market participants to improve the efficiency of asset management of the enterprise.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: This study aims to determine the characteristics and factors influencing the decision to save at Islamic banks, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research methodology: The sample used in this study amounted to 400 participants, which were collected by online questionnaire. A logistic regression was also employed to estimate the influence of independent variables on the saving decisions of customers. This was accompanied by the implementation of descriptive analysis, to determine the characteristics of Islamic bank customers during the pandemic. Results: The characteristics of the participants were dominated by people aged 17-25, with the majority of them residing in West Java and working as a student. Besides this, data were also analyzed by using logistic regression analysis. Based on the results, several factors influenced the saving decisions of Islamic bank customers. In this case, evaluation and strategy were carried out to increase customer interest through knowledge of the types and benefits of Islamic savings. Limitations: This study was limited to the analysis of the factors influencing the saving decisions of Islamic bank customers during COVID-19. The contribution derived was also related to the saving demands of customers in Islamic banking. Contribution: The results highlighted the characteristics of Islamic bank customers during the pandemic, as reference material for banking managers to increase interest in their financial products. Originality: Based on the logistic regression, religiosity, knowledge, promotion, location, and age positively/significantly affected saving decisions at Islamic banks during the COVID-19 pandemic. This indicated that Islamic banking was not stuck in the market segment of the Muslim community, regarding the promotion of their products. In addition, promotion quality should be essentially improved, accompanied by the maintenance of business ethics and image as an Islamic bank.

Authors:   Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria, Egbunike Chinedu Francis , Oranefo Patricia Chinyere ,   Department of Accountancy, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria
Published: August 2023

Purpose: Prior studies show that inventory holding is closely linked to liquidity and procyclical dependent on the combination of macroeconomic and firm characteristics. Thus, conditional linear factor models such as OLS should fail to explain the inventory-holding motive, especially in the context of developing countries. This study seeks to empirically investigate the determinants of corporate inventory holding based on evidence from pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria. Research methodology: The study adopts the ex post facto research design. The final sample was eight pharmaceutical & healthcare firms quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). The data were analysed using the quantile regression technique. Results: The results showed that the inflation rate had a positive effect on the inventory holding distribution at upper quantiles (75th); and, the cash conversion cycle on the inventory holding was significant at different quantiles (25th, 50th and 75th). Profitability and liquidity were non-significant at different quantile distributions. Limitations: The focus on pharmaceutical firms limits the generalizability of the study findings to other sectors of the economy. Contributions: The study contributes to the literature in the context of developing countries, on the impact of varying firm characteristics and inflation rates on the different conditional distribution of the regressand, i.e., inventory holding.

Published: August 2023

In der Linguistik sind Anthroponyme, die nach Toponymen am häufigsten untersuchte Art des Namens. Trotzdem ist die Anzahl der wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten, in denen Anthroponyme in einem vergleichbaren Aspekt untersucht werden, gering. Insbesondere wurden usbekische und deutsche Anthroponyme und ihre Motiviertheit in diesem Aspekt nicht analysiert. Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der wissenschaftlichen Analyse der Motiviertheit usbekischer Namen und ihrer Übereinstimmungen mit der Motiviertheit deutscher Nachnamen. Für die Untersuchung wurden also usbekische Namen und deutsche Nachnamen ausgewählt. Als Ergebnis der Analyse wurde deutlich, dass die usbekischen Namen ihre Bedeutung behalten haben, wobei die deutschen Namen unter dem Einfluss verschiedener lexikalisch-phonetischer Veränderungen im Verlauf der historischen Entwicklung desemantisiert wurden. Die usbekischen Namen wurden auf der Grundlage gebildet, die in vielen Fällen den deutschen Nachnamen nahe liegt. Der Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass die deutschen Nachnamen historisch aus Appellativen gebildet und als persönliche Namen (Rufnamen) verwendet werden, und die Nachnamen einzelner Personen auf der Grundlage von Spitznamen, verschiedenen Eigenschaften und Besonderheiten des Körpers, des Charakters, der Naturphänomene, der Geburtszeit und des Geburtsortes benannt werden.
