The Impact of Bank Loans on the Real Estate Sector in Iraq
Authors: Ali Kadhem Husam
Published: July 2023

The real estate prices in the Iraqi market have witnessed a significant increase in the prices of residential units, including land plots and residential buildings, especially after the approval of the new exchange rate and the provision of financial loans to employees and citizens. Therefore, real estate loans are considered one of the financing tools in the housing sector, whether these loans are directed towards the construction of new housing or the rehabilitation of existing buildings for housing. The housing market is an important component of the economic and social system, as housing is a commodity that is influenced by supply, demand, and the trade of materials involved in housing unit production. The housing system is also linked to the political system of the state, as housing policy is part of the state's overall policy. This influence can be direct, such as increasing housing projects, or indirect, such as reducing or prohibiting imports of construction materials like cement and iron if domestic production is insufficient to meet the needs. Additionally, the social system has a significant and direct impact on the housing system. The social system in Iraqi society is influenced by the type of family system and changes in the type of family and the stability of new families in independent homes, after previously residing in multi-story or horizontally extended dwellings with separate parts for each family's privacy and shared areas for all residents. All of these factors have led to changes in the housing system in the country. The importance of research lies in the role of bank loans, including real estate loans, in revitalizing the housing sector and addressing the housing problem in Iraq, given the financing challenges and the need for funding infrastructure projects and residential complexes. Iraq faces major challenges and problems related to the housing sector and the scarcity of residential complexes due to population growth rates, as well as challenges in the field of financing and bank loans that can contribute to strengthening the housing sector. Banking loans, including real estate loans, play a role in the development of the housing sector in Iraq. The research aims to shed light on the features of the housing sector in Iraq and the contribution of banking loans in financing the housing sector, as well as the initiatives of the Central Bank of Iraq and real estate loans in promoting the housing sector
Investigating the Difficulties Faced by Iraqi Pharmacists in Interpreting Medical Prescriptions : Interpretation Perspective
Authors: Darweesh Nazik Aziz
Published: July 2023

The profession of medicine is one of the best and noblest professions in society, and it is the profession of merciful hearts that works in the service of humanity to relieve people of their aches and pains. The profession of doctors is one of the most difficult professions in society, and it is one of the humanitarian professions that society greatly needs. In this research paper, the study reviews the medical errors committed by pharmacists for mistranslating the medical prescription correctly. This results in medical errors that patients fall victim to, and this in itself is a great harm. In addition, the study assumes that the reason for these errors is either in the doctors for not writing the prescription clearly or because of Pharmacists for not translating it correctly. The primary aim of this study is to identify solutions to the difficulties associated with interpreting mistakes brought by some pharmacists. Both qualitative and quantitative samples are used in the investigation. The quantitative samples relate to 10 Pharmacists in Diwaniya City while the qualitative samples are embodied in the relevance theoretic approach (Sperber &Wilson, 2002), As a guide for this work, it pursues Newmark (1988) with his translational strategies. The study proposes that recipe should be written on ideal rules because it is related to the humanity souls with clear handwriting\ typing with system of symbols acceptedly among pharmacists. This cognition process of good interpreting or grasping the contents of prescription very important in order to accomplish the aforementioned aims. The analysis demonstrates that many either pharmacists depend on mutual codes between them and doctors or they depend they rely on guesswork and this generates serious medication errors because this field does not bear guesswork or codes exchanged between pharmacists and doctors. It is also challenging to interpret a medical text when it is written in symbols or codes. According to the methods used, the study distinguishes between appropriate and problematic interpreting and identifies possible solutions to the prescription's interpretation difficulties.
Nationhood and Nativisation in Raja Rao’s “Kanthapura”
Authors: Ali Dinar Lect. Abeer
Published: July 2023

Raja Rao is considered to be as one of the widely acclaimed Indian American international authors and one of the pioneer literary voices in the Indian/English literature. Even though only three of his literary publications were being claimed worldwide yet he delineated the Indian struggle and the political turmoil joined with cultural celebration and broken realities. His role as an active member of the political Indian movement helped in with his higher education to write and analyze the Indian socio political and the colonial oppression in India. His novel Kanthapura published in (1938) by Rja Roa is considered as figure in the colonial Indian literary productions and part of the Indian historical revival movement. It tells the story of a small village Kanthapura and its people’s struggles under the British colonization, the story address the pre-independence era and just like any other colonial literary text the concepts of nation and identity were being highlighted as the Indian people fight for their freedom and self-liberation. The novel had examined a large number of the problems regarding the culture, political, social, spiritual, education, identity and so on. The novel uses strong tone to revel the intensity and the passion of the Indian people as they fight for their rights and freedom. The limitation of this study will be textually focused on Raja Rao’s Kanthapura (1938). Furthermore; theoretically, this study employs the notions of nationhood and Nativisation by focusing on post-colonial concepts such as Hybridity, identity, Nationhood, alienation, signals, Survival and expressions to establish the Indian struggle during and after the British colonization. This study main objective is to examine the Indian colonial and post-colonial social and psychological oppression under the British, furthermore, to investigate the notions of nationhood and nativisation as they Indian people fight for their independence and self-liberation. Finally, this study will exam the colonial and post-colonial confusion as the oppressed individuals suffering to discover and re-create their own sense of belonging.
Metamorphosis in T.S. Eliot “The Waste Land” (Modern American Poetry)
Authors: Adel Bader Dr. Murthadha
Published: July 2023

The Waste Land was quickly recognized as a major statement of modernist poetics, both for its broad symbolic significance and for Eliot’s masterful use of formal techniques that earlier modernists had only begun to attempt. The critic I. A. Richards influentially praised Eliot for describing the shared post-war “sense of desolation, of uncertainty, of futility, of the groundlessness of aspirations, of the vanity of endeavor, and a thirst for a life-giving water which seems suddenly to have failed.” Eliot later complained that “approving critics” like Richards “said that I had expressed ‘the disillusionment of a generation,’ which is nonsense. I may have expressed for them their own illusion of being disillusioned, but that did not form part of my intention.” Nonetheless, it was as a representative of a postwar generation that Eliot became famous. To compare Eliot’s comments on the poem with the way it was received illustrates strikingly the fact that, as William K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley put it, “The poem is not the critic’s own and not the author’s (it is detached from the author at birth and goes about the world beyond his power to intend about it or control it). The poem belongs to the public

Analysis of Trace Metal Bioaccumulation in Fish and Man; Health Risk Impact
Authors: Agbugui Marian , Abe Grace
Published: July 2023

Trace metals occur during natural processes and are also obtained during anthropogenic activities. Streams, lakes and rivers surrounded by farmlands engaged in the use of Trace metal-enriched fertilizers have shown a possible and positive correlation to the rise of Trace metals in the use of chemical, organic and water-soluble fertilizers for a long period. there is a tendency for high correlations of trace metals in source waters. Furthermore, the increasing level of trace metals in fish is alarming and has spurred scientists to make research on the dangers caused by the trace metals resulting in trace metal accumulation and bioaccumulation of life cells. This study aims at assessing the possible sources of trace metals in the aquatic environment, the impact of Trace metals in the aquatic environment, their bioaccumulation in fish and human health risk impact, negative effects in fish have been attributed to the accumulation of trace metals such as irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa, nephritis, necrosis, neurological and behavioural disorders and death amongst others). The ingestion, absorption and uptake of trace metals in fish are usually toxic and result in harmful damage to the fish and fish life. Since most of the metals taken up are non-biodegradable, such metals can bioaccumulate and bio-magnify. Over time, the accumulated metals affect the growth and development stages of fish from the production of viable eggs, hatchability laval, fingerlings and juvenile life stages. This is so because the early life stages are more sensitive than during maturing and adulthood. In conclusion, negative results of the presence of trace metals and the effect of bioaccumulation and bio-magnification have been reviewed in this paper. This study recommends that the proper assessment and treatment of all forms of wastewater, agricultural waste, sewage, and industrial effluents be carried out before their discharge into the environment.

We search for local extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs), selecting photometric candidates by broadband color excess and machine-learning techniques with the SDSS photometric data. After removing stellar contaminants by shallow spectroscopy with Seimei and Nayuta telescopes, we confirm that three candidates are EMPGs with 0.05–0.1 Z
⊙ by deep Magellan/MagE spectroscopy for faint [Oiii]
λ4363 lines. Using a statistical sample consisting of 105 spectroscopically confirmed EMPGs taken from our study and the literature, we calculate the cross-correlation function (CCF) of the EMPGs and all SDSS galaxies to quantify environments of EMPGs. Comparing another CCF of all SDSS galaxies and comparison of SDSS galaxies in the same stellar-mass range (107.0–108.4
M
⊙), we find no significant (>1σ) difference between these two CCFs. We also compare mass–metallicity relations (MZRs) of the EMPGs and those of galaxies at z ∼ 0–4 with a steady chemical evolution model and find that the EMPG MZR is comparable with the model prediction on average. These clustering and chemical properties of EMPGs are explained by a scenario of stochastic metal-poor gas accretion on metal-rich galaxies showing metal-poor star formation. Extending the broadband color excess technique to a high-z EMPG search, we select 17 candidates of z ∼ 4–5 EMPGs with the deep (≃30 mag) near-infrared JWST/NIRCam images obtained by ERO and ERS programs. We find galaxy candidates with negligible [Oiii]
λ
λ 4959,5007 emission weaker than the local EMPGs and known high-z galaxies, suggesting that some of these candidates may fall in the range of 0–0.01 Z

strong gravitational lensing systems and candidates. However, the discovery of multiply-lensed transients remains a rarity. Lensed transients and especially lensed supernovae are invaluable tools to cosmology because they allow us to constrain cosmological parameters via lens modeling and the measurements of their time delays. In this paper, we develop a pipeline to perform a targeted lensed transient search. We apply this pipeline to 5807 strong lenses and candidates, which were identified in the literature, in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys Data Release 9 (DR9) footprint. For each system, we analyze every exposure in all of the observed bands (DECam g, r, and z). Our pipeline finds, groups, and ranks detections that are in sufficient proximity temporally and spatially. After the first round of inspection, for promising candidate systems, we further examine the newly available DR10 data (with additional i and Y bands). Here we present our targeted lensed supernova search pipeline and seven new lensed supernova candidates, including a very likely lensed supernova—probably a Type Ia—in a system with an Einstein radius of ∼1.″5.

Published: July 2023

The broadband spectral energy distribution of a galaxy encodes valuable information on its stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), dust content, and possible fractional energy contribution from nonstellar sources. We present a comprehensive catalog of panchromatic photometry, covering 17 bands from the far-ultraviolet to 500 μm, for 2685 low-redshift (z = 0.01–0.11), massive (M
* > 1010
M
⊙) galaxies selected from the Stripe 82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, one of the largest areas with relatively deep, uniform observations over a wide range of wavelengths. Taking advantage of the deep optical coadded images, we develop a hybrid approach for matched-aperture photometry of the multiband data. We derive robust uncertainties and upper limits for undetected galaxies, deblend interacting/merging galaxies and sources in crowded regions, and treat contamination by foreground stars. We perform spectral energy distribution fitting to derive the stellar mass, SFR, and dust mass, critically assessing the influence of flux upper limits for undetected photometric bands and applying corrections for systematic uncertainties based on extensive mock tests. Comparison of our measurements with those of commonly used published catalogs reveals good agreement for the stellar masses. While the SFRs of galaxies on the star-forming main sequence show reasonable consistency, galaxies in and below the green valley show considerable disagreement between different sets of measurements. Our analysis suggests that one should incorporate the most accurate and inclusive photometry into the spectral energy distribution analysis, and that care should be exercised in interpreting the SFRs of galaxies with moderate to weak star formation activity.

This article reports a sample of 1830 strong [O iii]λ5007 emission-line compact galaxies discovered with the LAMOST spectroscopic survey and the photometric catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We newly identify 402 spectra of 346 strong [O iii]λ5007 emission-line compact galaxies by finding compact isolated point sources. Combined with the samples in our previous work, this returns a sample of 1830 unique strong [O iii]λ5007 emission-line compact galaxies with 2033 spectra of z ≤ 0.53. For the sources with 2σ[O iii]λ4363 detections, we calculate the gas-phase metallicity with the direct-T

e
method, and verify that the strong-line metallicity diagnostics calibrated with the direct-T

e
method also applies to this sample. The strong [O iii]λ5007 emission-line compact galaxies fall below several T

e
-calibrated mass–metallicity relations. The N/O measurements of the strong [O iii]λ5007 emission-line compact galaxies mainly locate at a plateau at low metallicity, indicating the product of primary nucleosynthesis. The Ne3O2 and O32 relation follows a tight linear relation with no redshift evolution. The Ne3O2 anticorrelates with the stellar mass, and at fixed stellar mass the Ne3O2 increases with the redshift. Eight sources with asymmetric [O iii]λ5007 emission-line profiles have been identified, however with no [O iii]λ4363 detection, which proves the rich metal content and complex ionized-gas kinematics within the galaxies. Higher-resolution spectroscopy will be necessary to identify the ionized-gas components in detail.
Fantastic Fits with fantasy of Active Galactic Nuclei Spectra: Exploring the Fe ii Emission near the Hα Line
Authors: Ilić Dragana , Rakić Nemanja , Popović Luka Č.
Published: July 2023

In this study, a refined approach for multicomponent fitting of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) spectra is presented utilizing the newly developed Python code Fully Automated pythoN Tool for AGN Spectra analYsis (fantasy). AGN spectra are modeled by simultaneously considering the underlying broken power-law continuum, predefined emission line lists, and an Fe ii model, which is here extended to cover the wavelength range 3700–11000 Å. The Fe ii model, founded solely on atomic data, effectively describes the extensive emission of the complex iron ion in the vicinity of the Hγ and Hβ lines, as well as near the Hα line, which was previously rarely studied. The proposed spectral fitting approach is tested on a sample of high-quality AGN spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 17. The results indicate that when Fe ii emission is present near Hβ, it is also detected redward from Hα, potentially contaminating the broad Hα line wings and thus affecting the measurements of its flux and width. The production of Fe ii emission is found to be strongly correlated with Eddington luminosity and appears to be controlled by a similar mechanism as the hydrogen Balmer lines. The study highlights the benefits of fitting type 1 AGN spectra with the fantasy code, pointing that it may be used as a robust tool for analyzing a large number of AGN spectra in the coming spectral surveys.

Let $ \mathbb{S}^{n-1} $ denotes the unit sphere in $ \mathbb{R}^n $ equipped with the normalized Lebesgue measure. Let $ \Phi \in L^r(\mathbb{S}^{n-1}) $ be a homogeneous function of degree zero. The variable Marcinkiewicz fractional integral operator is defined as

   \begin{document}$ \mu _{\Phi} (f)(z_1) = \left( \int \limits _0 ^ \infty \left|\int \limits _{|z_1-z_2| \leq s} \frac{\Phi(z_1-z_2)}{|z_1-z_2|^{n-1-\zeta(z_1)}}f(z_2)dz_2\right|^2 \frac{ds}{s^3}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}. $\end{document}

The Marcinkiewicz fractional operator of variable order $ \zeta(z_1) $ is shown to be bounded from the grand Herz-Morrey spaces $ {M\dot{K} ^{\alpha(\cdot), u), \theta}_{\beta, p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)} $ with variable exponent into the weighted space $ {M\dot{K} ^{\alpha(\cdot), u), \theta}_{\beta, \rho, q(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^n)} $ where

De la biblioteca de Ibn Ḥakam de Menorca a la de la ṭarīqa al-Sanūsiyya: a propósito de un manuscrito del siglo XIII conservado en Bengasi (Libia) (Manuscripta libica I)
Authors: Montel Aurélien
Published: July 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un manuscrito conservado en la biblioteca de la Universidad de Bengasi (Libia) que contiene el Kitāb al-Ǧawhara fī nasab al-nabī ṣallā Allāh ʽalayhi wa-sallam wa-aṣḥābihi al-ʽašara por Abū ʽAbd Allāh Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr b. ʽAbd Allāh b. Mūsà al-Anṣārī al-Barrī al-Tilimsānī (596/1200-681/1282). Aunque ha sido mencionado en algunas publicaciones, no llamó la atención de los especialistas de la historia cultural de al-Andalus. Debido a la situación actual de la institución de conservación, no ha sido posible ver ni ofrecer reproducciones. Aun así, como se cedió una fotografía para un catálogo, el último folio resultó muy útil. Se hace constar claramente el origen de la obra, que fue copiada en Menorca por su propio autor en el año 645/1248. Además, se puede observar que fue ofrecido como regalo a Saʽīd b. Ḥakam al-Qurašī, el gobernador de la isla, que fundó una biblioteca cuya riqueza fue celebrada por los autores medievales. En el estado actual del conocimiento, se trata precisamente del quinto manuscrito identificado, encontrándose hoy los otros cuatro en la Real Biblioteca del Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial. La historia del manuscrito permanece oscura, aunque se puede dar por establecido que reapareció en Libia a mediados del siglo XIX, siendo entonces propiedad de Muḥammad b. ʽAlī al-Sanūsī, fundador de la poderosa ṭarīqa al-Sanūsiyya.

Se presentan los resultados de las excavaciones de 2022 en el Cerro de San Vicente (Salamanca), que amplían el área exhumada en 2021. Se discute la secuencia diacrónica de dicho espacio y su interpretación funcional y social. Se aborda la religiosidad doméstica a partir de varios edificios de uso cultual y un abundante elenco de objetos litúrgicos: vajilla torneada egipcia o levantina pintada y fenicia de engobe rojo, un aplique de taracea y abalorios de fayenza con iconografía oriental, pebeteros y terracotas y vajilla local con temas orientalizantes, etc. Además, sobresalen los nuevos indicadores de prácticas aristocráticas: instrumentos para artesanías de alta calidad –alfarería y actividades textiles– y atalajes ecuestres –dos camas de bocados óseos–. El cocinado con bandejas y hornillos de atanor, las artesanías especializadas, los rituales domésticos y la edilicia remiten también al ámbito mediterráneo. Todas estas evidencias permiten interpretar el sector excavado como un espacio ceremonial y a la vez doméstico dedicado a una deidad femenina –probable trasunto local de Hathor-Astarté– integrado en el vecindario de patio central de un grupo residencial virilocal multifamiliar. Se reivindica el protagonismo de las mujeres de aquella unidad corporativa amplia y de alto rango en la transmisión y desempeño de todos esos saberes procedimentales y actividades de mantenimiento espiritual y material.

En este artículo presentamos uno nuevo recuperado de la cueva de Aizkoltxo (Mendaro, Gipuzkoa) grabado cuidadosamente con representaciones tanto figurativas –una cierva y dos zoomorfos marinos– como no figurativas –aspas y trazos simples– en una lámina de una costilla en la que se practicó una única perforación hecha por rotación bipolar. Ha sido datada en el Magdaleniense Final, un momento en el que el yacimiento fue muy frecuentado a juzgar por la abundancia de industria lítica, ósea y restos faunísticos localizados. La importancia de este objeto no radica en su singularidad sino en las similitudes que presenta con otros en la región cantábrica (Valle y El Pendo) y el sur de Francia (Lortet, La Vache, Arancou y Chaffaud). Esto se debe tanto al soporte, costilla, como a la decoración. Los animales marinos apuntan a afinidades en el código simbólico de esta cronología, indicando lazos entre los diferentes grupos que vivieron en Europa occidental entre hace 16.500 y 13.000 años cal BP.
Can Metaverse Act as a Board of Directors?
Authors: Rehman Ali
Published: July 2023

The recent pandemic has had a negative impact on the market and related industries, primarily due to the forced closure of businesses by governments. However, the main cause of this impact is ineffective organizational strategies and their poor implementation. In today's business environment where profitability is the sole focus of management, there is a lack of strategy creation and implementation. In this scenario, the board of directors needs an additional resource to provide precise and well-researched information. This resource can be called the metaverse. Metaverse can be used in the corporate world to improve various processes and operations and provides assistance to make effective decisions. This chapter applies agency theory to show how the metaverse can act as a board member and improve the effectiveness of development strategies. This chapter introduces a new concept for organizational governance. It will be useful for regulators, policy makers, and boards of directors.

The education industry has changed as a result of the adoption of ICT in schools at different levels. The greatest way to assist teaching and learning in traditional classroom settings as well as distant learning and online programmes that prepare students to participate in the dynamic world of technology is through technology. Nothing in the modern world makes sense or is simple to perform without the impact of ICT products and programmes, thus it is impossible to ignore the role that computers have played in global development. ICT products and programmes are a crucial instrument in assisting global standards. With the availability of educational opportunities, and access to learning materials in the form of photos and text, the internet has become so flexible that one can even obtain them at one's convenience at any time of the day. The use of ICT in education has gained popularity across the globe due to the ease with which it is associated.

Pain harms the clinical course of individuals with rib fractures. Patients with more than three fractured ribs are more likely to have lung problems because pain can impede lung ventilation and secretion clearance due to difficulty coughing, resulting in atelectasis and hypoxia. Systemic analgesia to invasive regional anesthesia procedures such as thoracic epidural, paravertebral catheters, intercostal nerve blocks, and fascial plane blocks are all alternatives for analgesia in chest trauma. The study’s goal is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane (ESP) and serratus anterior plane (SAP) blocks in chest injuries, as well as their effect on improving respiratory metrics. For this objective, fifteen cases of isolated thoracic trauma resulting in rib fractures were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were at least 18 years old, spontaneously breathing, and had received a chest wall fascial plane block for pain relief. All patients reported practically instantaneous pain alleviation, with the onset occurring around 10 minutes after the block operation. One patient required oxygen therapy, but the rest were quickly weaned due to improved respiratory mechanics. Our findings suggest that chest wall anesthetic blocks are a safe and effective therapy for pain caused by rib fractures. At admission, the median NRS was 7 (RF 6:26.7%; 7:26.7%; 8:26.7%; 9:13.3%; 10:6.7%), with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 (IQR: 1.5, CV: 0.2). All patients reported immediate pain relief that began around 10 minutes after the block was done; the average decrease in NRS was 6.8 points. They have also been shown to be effective and beneficial in improving respiratory parameters and lowering oxygen support.
José Laguillo y 'El Liberal', de Sevilla breves reflexiones acerca del periodismo hispalense contemporáneo
Authors: Ruiz Acosta María José
Published: July 2023

El diario sevillano 'El Liberal', fundado por Miguel Moya en 1901, constituye una de las muestras más evidentes del impulso que el fenómeno del nuevo periodismo cobró en España desde las primeras décadas del presente siglo. Fruto de una nueva forma de entender la actividad periodística -más informativa, clara y transparente y, sobre todo, al servicio del lector-, diario inauguró en la capital hispalense una línea de trabajo cuyo éxito se debe, en gran medida, a su director, José Laguillo Bonilla.
Rethinking digital rights through systemic problems of communication
Authors: Puukko Outi
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Recent policy and expert debates surrounding problems in the digital environment have promoted different conceptualizations of digital rights. However, current problems of digital communication are often discussed separately from earlier debates pertaining to the democratization of the media. This article argues for the re-grounding of digital rights debates to address systemic communication problems. Methodology: Intended as a conceptual contribution, this article connects recent critical research on digital rights to the body of literature on democratic media activism through an analysis of problem representations. The article draws on the “What is the problem represented to be?” approach to study problem representations in the academic accounts of mobilizations and to identify common themes that describe systemic problems of communication. Results: The results identify problem representations that have emerged in and been defined by mobilizations over time and illustrate persistent themes with examples from the digital and mass media eras, including inequalities in the distribution of communicative resources, ownership and economic model of the communication system, and problems of participation and exclusion. Discussion: Focusing on problem representations enables identification of alternatives to current dominant discourses and offers grounds for collaboration at the nexus of activism and scholarship. Conclusions: Future research can benefit from a further dialogue between the framework of democratic media activism and rights-based approaches to the digital communication environment.
Implications of receptor for advanced glycation end products for progression from obesity to diabetes and from diabetes to cancer

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing in resource limited settings. Simultaneously, there has been an increase in the number of novel therapies for the management of diabetes mellitus. However, use of novel antidiabetic therapies is limited because of major market access challenges in resource limited settings. Niching products to those patients with the highest absolute risk for major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and thus most likely to benefit from the therapy, are less likely to have negative budget impact for funders. To improve access, and reduce morbidity and mortality, requires alignment amongst key stakeholders including patient advocacy groups, health care professional councils, national departments of health, the pharmaceutical industry, treasury and finance departments.
Reduction Free Normalisation for a proof irrelevant type of propositions
Authors: Coquand Thierry
Published: July 2023

We show normalisation and decidability of convertibility for a type theory
with a hierarchy of universes and a proof irrelevant type of propositions,
close to the type system used in the proof assistant Lean. Contrary to previous
arguments, the proof does not require explicitly to introduce a notion of
neutral and normal forms.

El projecte de recerca Civic Placemaking: Disseny, Espai Públic i Cohesió Social (CP) busca promoure la cohesió social i la integració intercultural de manera orgànica i eficaç a través de projectes d’arquitectura efímera que tinguin impacte en l’espai públic, fomentin una ciutadania proactiva en la presa de decisions sobre el seu entorn, i estimulin el sentit de pertinença i el civisme actiu. CP3 tanca la recerca iniciada en CP1 (Marianao, Sant Boi de Llobregat) i continuada per CP2 (Raval, Barcelona), fent servir el barri Primer de Maig de Granollers el seu àmbit de treball. Si CP1 explorava les capacitats de l’arquitectura efímera per transformar la percepció de l’espai públic per part de la comunitat que l’habita, i CP2 se centrava en explorar les capacitats de l’arquitectura efímera per promoure la interacció entre ciutadans tot introduint nous usos a l’espai públic, CP3 posa l’atenció en l’acció comunitària per explorar usos temporals en entorns urbans, fent que aquest coneixement de ciencia ciutadana serveixi per proposar formats d’arquitectura efímera que donin suport a la lliure apropiació de l’espai públic per part dels veïns.
