An Examination of the Virtual Event Experience of Cyclists Competing on Zwift
Authors: Devine Adrian , Devine Frances , Burns Amy
Published: August 2023

The Virtual Sport Experience Design (VSX) framework, which was adapted from Funk’s Sport Experience Design (SX) framework, was used to examine the event experience of cyclists who competed on the mixed reality platform, Zwift. Using a mixed methods approach, the findings suggest
that Zwift is a viable substitute for real-life cycling events in that it provides users with realistic and serious competition in a social environment. High levels of technological embodiment, the quality of the in-game graphics, and the gamification elements added to the experience by creating
a sense of presence and control. However, it was the social dimension and the ability to communicate and create a sense of “communitas” with other riders that provided the most compelling argument that Mixed Reality can provide a digital alternative to real-life events.
Leveraging the Cancellation of In-Person Sport Events for Sense of Community: The Case of the Illinois Marathon
Authors: Chen Guangzhou , Peachey Jon Welty , Stodolska Monika
Published: August 2023

The current study explored how the cancellation of an in-person sport event was leveraged for sense of community (SOC) among event participants and challenges faced by event managers when leveraging event cancellation. We employed document analysis and semistructured interviews with
6 event managers and 14 event participants. Findings showed that despite the cancellation of in-person sport events, event managers were able to develop some new, creative sport or event programs such as virtual race, virtual challenge, and a small-scale in-person race, to build SOC among
participants. However, there were also challenges to leveraging event cancellation for SOC such as prioritizing other urgent matters over leveraging the event, and lacking knowledge, experience, and resources. Overall, this study extends the event leverage framework by examining if and how
event cancellation can be leveraged, while providing implications for event managers to develop effective leverage strategies in the face of event cancellations.
Gajamseong Fortress(椵岑城) Battle and Reverse Inheritance of Merits in the Reign of King Jinpyeong in Silla
Authors:   The Bukak Historical Society, Jung Duk-gi
Published: August 2023

The study analyzes the background and situation of the battle of Gajamseong Fortress, which broke out in the reign of the King Jinpyeong in Silla. In addition to this, various significances of the battle focusing on the reverse inheritance of merits are presented.
Silla lost the first battle of Gajamseong Fortress due to the lackluster performance of the three armies from three states despite the desperate efforts of Chandeok. However, in the second battle, Silla won by learning from the lessons of the previous battle and employing Haeron. The third battle also ended in a victory for Silla. The fortress is the largest disputed area between Silla and Baekje during the late reign of King Jinpyeong. In this paper, Gajamseong Fortress is considered as the area around Jeokbyeokgang River based on the data on the Bodeokguk rebellion, geographic and terrain features, the timing of the first to third battles, and the military significance.
The Battle of Gajamseong Fortress has great significance in war, diplomacy, and military history of Silla. As a result of the patriotic sacrifices made during the battle, Silla institutionalized the reverse inheritance system for meritorious service, which became a military strategy during the unification wars of the Three Kingdoms period. The fact that the Battle reflects Silla's struggle to overcome the national crisis during the Junggo period of Silla, when it enjoyed the greatest power is of great significance.
The Implementation and Characteristics of the Japanese Navy's Korean Mobilization System during the Asia-Pacific War
Authors:   The Bukak Historical Society, Cho Geon
Published: August 2023

The Japanese Navy has mobilized troops against Koreans since August 1943. The Navy's late push for the mobilization of Korean troops was due to concerns and distrust of Koreans. However, as the war situation worsened and Japanese military resources became scarce, naval mobilization was eventually implemented against Koreans.
Until now, the structure and status of the Japanese Navy's mobilization of Korean troops has been poorly understood due to data limitations. The sketchy accounts of the start of the naval special assistance system in Korea in 1943 and the conscription system in 1944 make it even more difficult to understand the structure of the navy's troop mobilization. This article examines the status of the Japanese Navy's implementation of the Korean Special Support System through institutions and examples, and explains in detail the structure and methods of troop mobilization.
The results show that the Japanese Navy utilized both the volunteer and conscription systems to mobilize the Korean population. Contrary to what is known, the scale of Korean mobilization was greater through volunteers than conscription, as the Japanese navy preferred to train them directly through volunteers in order to secure high-quality troops. Meanwhile, Koreans were initially mobilized as sailors and mechanics, but after 1945, about 50% of the total number of Koreans were mobilized as engineers. This was due to the need to build airfields and underground facilities to prevent American air raids and landings.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists, the first biologics approved for treating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are effective for the induction and maintenance of remission and significantly improving prognosis. However, up to one-third of treated patients show primary nonresponse (PNR) to anti-TNF-α therapies, and 23%-50% of IBD patients experience loss of response (LOR) to these biologics during subsequent treatment. There is still no recognized predictor for evaluating the efficacy of anti-TNF drugs. This review summarizes the existing predictors of PNR and LOR to anti-TNF in IBD patients. Most predictors remain controversial, and only previous surgical history, disease manifestations, drug concentrations, antidrug antibodies, serum albumin, some biologic markers, and some genetic markers may be potentially predictive. In addition, we also discuss the next steps of treatment for patients with PNR or LOR to TNF antagonists. Therapeutic drug monitoring plays an important role in treatment selection. Dose escalation, combination therapy, switching to a different anti-TNF drug, or switching to a biologic with a different mechanism of action can be selected based on the concentration of the drug and/or antidrug antibodies.

Effect of Marketing and Organisational Innovations on Performance of Telecommunication Companies in Nigeria
Authors: Kwajaffa Bitrus Fulani
Published: August 2023

Because of the dynamism and competition in today's business environment, firms that wish to compete and endure for a long time must adopt new techniques. The general population of Nigeria has the impression that the nation's telecommunications operating businesses are not only doing well, but also extremely profitable. However, a recent assessment by the industry watchdog, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC, 2020), revealed that despite the significant investment made by these telecom businesses, the overall sector performance has decreased. This served as the basis for this study, which looked at how organizational and marketing changes affected the success of telecom companies in Nigeria. Questionnaires were used as the tool of data collection in a survey design. Data were gathered from 213 employees at the six-person management cadre. Due to this, the report advises telecom operators to keep looking for new and effective ways to market their goods and services, while also making sure to set them apart from those of rival companies. Additionally, telecom businesses should use better methods for managing their interactions with important parties, particularly regulatory organizations, since doing so will likely result in fewer sanctions and other regulations that could endanger their business operations.

MODERNISMO, REESCRITURA Y MODERNIDAD
Authors: Ocampos Palomar Emilio José
Published: August 2023

El Modernismo hispánico es la búsqueda de la modernidad literaria que disocia literatura y nación para enfrentar literatura y burguesía, es decir, la absorción de una escritura que abandona la idea romántica del texto como expresión del espíritu nacional para épater le bourgeois. El pesimismo y la regeneración nacional en España, fruto de la pérdida de las colonias, así como la organización nacional en Hispanoamérica, fruto del recorrido independentista, comparten la entrada en un nuevo orden imperialista que depende de Francia, Gran Bretaña y EE.UU. Esta crisis cultural y política de finales del siglo XIX en ambas orillas del Atlántico va ligada a la concienciación, por parte de los literatos, de vivir en países que orbitan alrededor de una modernidad que dicta la sociedad burguesa de finales del siglo XIX desde las naciones occidentales con más poder económico.

Predicting the Risk of SME Loan Repayment using AI Technology-Machine Learning Techniques: A Perspective of Malaysian Financing Institutions
Authors: Syahida Abdullah  , Zakirah Othman  , Roshayu Mohamad
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to predict the likelihood of small and medium-sized (SMEs) defaulting in loan repayment by developing a model using artificial intelligence technology, namely Machine Learning algorithms. The research employed the Louvain clustering algorithm to effectively group the loan recipients based on their cumulative repayment amounts over time, and two distinct machine learning techniques, namely logistic regression (LR) and k-nearest neighbour (k-NN) were harnessed to evaluate their efficacy in classifying recipients' risk levels, namely low-risk or high-risk. The LR model achieved mean accuracy score of 100% which indicates a high level of precision that can effectively predict the risk of SME loan repayment. This is further supported by the Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of 1.0 obtained by the LR model which suggests that the model has achieved optimal separation of the two classes, and therefore it is highly reliable for risk prediction. This technique is believed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of credit risk assessment that could enable financial institutions (FIs) to optimize their decision-making processes and mitigate potential losses caused by the defaulting loans. Hence, this study is significant as it proves the effectiveness of machine learning technique in predicting loan repayment risk in FIs in Malaysia.
Detection of Sarcasm Using Bi-Directional RNN Based Deep Learning Model in Sentiment Analysis
Authors: Muddada Murali Krishna  , Midhunchakkaravarthy  , Jayavani Vankara
Published: August 2023

Detecting sarcasm in text can be challenging, but it's an opportunity to exercise the ability to consider various perspectives and aspects. Considering multiple viewpoints while analysing sentences can lead to comprehensive results and constructive discussions. Sentiment analysis algorithms are constantly improving and becoming more accurate in identifying sarcasm, even in implicit expressions where the sarcasm is not explicitly stated. It's exciting to have the opportunity to detect sarcasm conveyed through subtle cues, as it adds another layer of complexity to the task. The field of sarcasm detection has made great strides with the use of supervised classification models that can accurately distinguish between sarcastic and non-sarcastic sentences through labelled data. This approach shows promise for identifying explicitly incongruous statements, and there is an increasing need for techniques that can successfully detect sarcasm in sentences with implicit sentiment incongruity. This study employs a deep learning model to tackle the challenge of distinguishing implicit sarcasm. The model being used is a recurrent neural network (RNN), which has the ability to retain numerical representations of previously processed information. The proposed model is designed to effectively identify sarcasm by capturing context-based incongruity within the presented text, which is a crucial factor. The proposed model, Proposed LSTM (P-LSTM), effectively captures the dependencies among words in both suffixes and prefixes by scanning the given sentences bi-directionally. The classification is organised into two levels: emotional and semantic. The suggested approach offers a way to accurately evaluate and categories tweets based on their sarcastic state. Excitingly, the proposed method is being evaluated through experiments on two automatically annotated datasets and two manually annotated datasets to determine its effectiveness. The suggested model is compared to numerous state-of-the-art methods, highlighting its efficacy. The findings demonstrate that the suggested model is highly effective for sarcasm detection compared to other methods currently in use. The suggested model has great potential in recognising implicit sarcasm by utilising deep learning and context-based incongruity analysis, which could lead to significant improvements over existing methods.
Computer-Aided Design on Image Detection: A Chronology Review
Authors: Maziah Mahmud  , Wan Azani Mustafa  , Abd Fatah Wahab
Published: August 2023

In order to conduct research and diagnose diseases, image processing is essential. Medical professionals frequently segment images for pre- and post-surgery decisions, which are necessary for treatment planning. In the medical research field, segmentation is the core subject of several studies. Computer-aided detection (CAD) is utilised to achieve the highest level of classification accuracy and may be used to identify tissues growing abnormally. For the purpose of finding abnormalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective approach, but it takes time and requires a fair amount of human resources. This approach, however, was problematic for slicing data related to the interior surfaces of cavity structures, for instance, the human skull. As a result, a ray casting algorithm was used to create a software programme. The most significant problem with segmentation techniques for x-ray images is seed point selection. An object's surface structure is described by a three-dimensional (3D) surface structure graph (SSG) that was created during segmentation. Ultrasound image detection is critical today. The model can be further modified using this CAD software so that it can be reproduced on a rapid prototyping device in the STL file format. The suggested deep learning method is exceptionally effective in accurately detecting faults in each layer, according to experimental data.

Defining Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB) for Turkey in terms of Boundary Conditions
Authors: Gali Taşçı Gözde
Published: August 2023

The European Union has presented that the building sector is responsible for 36% of greenhouse gas emissions due to energy consumption and 40% of all energy consumption. Within the framework of the EPBD directive followed to reduce fossil energy consumption in EU countries, the commission recommendation in 2016 (2016/1318) is to ensure that by 2020 all new buildings are nZEB. The current directive has further steps. In Turkey, the Regulation on Energy Performance in Buildings follows EPBD. However, the definition of nZEB in Turkey should be reviewed within its own boundaries. There are 5 different climatic regions in Turkey with different architectural characteristics. Therefore, different ways will have to be followed in terms of meeting the heating-cooling needs. This research deals with the boundary conditions that may be encountered while developing the nZEB definition for Turkey and proposes climatic definitions, additionally with a development in sectoral operation in building sector.

Authors: Mohamed Ewida Yara , Abdel-Ghani Taher , Ahmed Alaa
Published: August 2023

We are currently living in the post-fourth industrial revolution era where digitalism and machine learning dominate our everyday ecology. Within architectural education, students are developing different digital techniques to express their projects in terms of plans, sections, elevations, and 3D models. Yet, with all this advanced level of information, there is a gap when it comes to critical thinking. This paper aims to put forward the foundational steps towards analyzing and criticizing architecture with the addition of a human perspective to consider the natural surroundings’ intelligence in the design morphology, materiality, and fabrication that is subject to digital infrastructure.

Published: August 2023

In recent years, the emergence of Building-Integrated-Agriculture (BIA) in developed countries has been seen as a possible solution to promoting models of sustainable and productive building in urban areas. This approach, which is based on the installation of food production methods that combine innovative technology and soil-less growing systems, permit to grow fresh fruits and vegetables in and on buildings, while exploiting their resource outputs creating new synergies between the built environment and the food production system. In this scenario, MENA region has instituted an ambitious policy to promote and foster the concept of sustainable building construction in the coming years, but faces a variety of unique challenges. The main objective of this study is to explore and examine the possibility of implementing BIA as a new approach for sustainable building construction in the MENA region, particularly in Algeria, by presenting a future perspective of the practice, and investigate its conceptual, technological, governmental, social and economic barriers.
The Walkability of Alvalade Neighbourhood for Young People: An Agent-based Model of Daily Commutes to School
Authors: Sampayo Mafalda Teixeira de , Sousa-Rodrigues David
Published: August 2023

The Alvalade neighbourhood in Lisbon, Portugal, was built in the mid-XX century as low-cost housing for workers, but it has become inhabited by the middle and upper classes. The neighbourhood is home to a large population of young people, including children and teenagers who attend the schools located in the area. We present an agent-based model which aims to investigate the walkability of the neighbourhood for these young people, focusing on the mobility patterns of children and teenagers as they navigate their daily routines of going to school. We simulate the pedestrian movement of these young people, considering factors such as the availability of sidewalks, crosswalks, distance to schools, and the presence of other amenities. Our research reveals the mobility patterns emerging in this area and compares them across the different schools in the area. These results inform both urban policies and interventions that promote safe and accessible routes to school.
Paper-based Structures & Pop-Up Architecture: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Mısırlıoğlu Mert , Morales-Beltran Mauricio
Published: August 2023

Pop-up architecture encompasses ephemeral structures, built to be disassembled and reassembled. Among several available materials, paper is extensively used to build these temporary structures due to fabrication and sustainable reasons. Although by applying adequate production techniques paper can be used as a load-bearing component, its strength and durability might be compromised when exposed to environmental conditions. This paper aims at defining the challenges of designing and implementing paper-based structures, as well as at unveiling the potentials of using paper in pop-up architecture. In the first part, related literature and examples are reviewed to evaluate how rapid assembly, convenience of transportation, low-cost, less specialized labour in the production of components and in the assembly process, are parameters weighing in the choice of paper as structural material. The second part discusses selected case-studies, to show how paper-based components, connections, envelope insulation, transportation and assembly constraints are addressed to shape these temporary structures, thus becoming a source of inspiration for pop-up architecture.
Process of Telling the Brand Story through Space Design in Interior-Brand Interaction: The Case of Decovita Etiler Showroom Store
Authors: Köprülü Amara , Boz Yunus Emre
Published: August 2023

The design of spaces that create an interaction area with the brand concept that makes an organization visible and unique plays an essential role in brand success. Especially in showrooms where human interaction is at the maximum, the design of the space-brand connection is critical. The process of telling the brand story through space requires analysis and research to understand the brand's values, history, culture, and vision to be reflected in the space. The stages of designing the brand-space interaction were analyzed through Decovita Showroom Store. As a result, the examined design stages start with evaluating the brand's story and the concept development phases. Then, the concept idea is designed by focusing on the brand's abstract representations, which leads to the color-texture choices and detailed decisions to be made through the space fiction.

Published: August 2023

Flash floods are short-period floods with a high peak discharge. Flash floods may be brought about by an increase in rainfall coupled with the rise of impervious surfaces. Accurate estimation of surface runoff and flood depth is therefore a vital task in coming up with ways to intercept and manage excess surface runoff. The study was carried out in Salama Park – Ibex Hill of Lusaka City with a total area of 1,074,822m2. The research focused on quantifying the surface runoff for the years 2019 to 2021 using the Soil Conservation Curve Number (SCS-CN) method, Remote Sensing and GIS. The excess runoff was calculated to range between 306.787mm to 600.419mm and the flood depth computed ranged between 1.665m to 3.260m. The relevance of this study is to understand the mechanisms and examine the impact of excess surface runoff on the built environment as well as its associated consequences.
