On the problem of defining architecture in toward an architecture / Smerom (či K) architektúre
Authors: Zervan Marián
Published: December 2024

Příspěvek se zaobírá otázkou, jak Corbusier chápe pojem architektury, respektive jak definuje architekturu. Dodnes se totiž drží obraz Le Corbusiera jako revolúčního modernisty, který má rezervovaný vztah k historické architektuře. Přitom je o něm známo, že vysoce oceňoval například Parthenon a ve své vlastní tvorbě využíval palladiovské diagramy a postupy. Tyto interpretační nesrovnalosti se promítly do překladů jeho nejslavnější knihy, které název francouzského originálu Vers une architecture změnily na Towards a New Architecture. Corbusier ve skutečnosti pracuje s různými částečnými definicemi architektury, využívajícími genus proximus umění, hry, harmonie. Kromě nich využívá take enumeratívní definice prostrednictvím architektonických prvků a typů. Sám však usiloval o univerzalistické chápání nejen nejen umění, ale take samostné architektury, jak to dokládá Manifest purismu a kniha Směrem k architektuře. Stál tak před otázkou jak propojit vlastní univerzalistické zaměření a uvedené částečné definice, které vzbuzovaly dojem pojmové nekonzistentnosti. Studie se pokouší prokázat, že tuto rozporuplnost se Le Corbusier snažil prekonat vztahovou definicí, která dokázala propojit transhistorické, historické či dobové a jedinečné a neopakovatelné pojetí architektury prostřednictvím uspořádání, osovosti a modenature. Le Corbusierova revoluce v pojmu architektury tedy nespočívá v tom, že přichází s radikálně novou představou architektury, která by pojmenovala její radikálne diskontinuitnú povahu. Revolučnost spočívá v tom, že v soudobé architecture byl schopen od sebe odlíšit různé typy uspořádání a propojit zmíněná transhistorická

Authors: Sarangam Anand
Published: December 2024

This paper analyzes the availability of chatbots and generative artificial intelligence and highlights the important
importance of inclusivity in technology design. Accessibility remains paramount in the digital environment, especially
for people with disabilities. Legal frameworks such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, along with moral
obligations, emphasize the need to have AI systems available. The current land of availability reveals significant gaps,
including bias in verbal language processing models and a lack of guidance for diverse consumer needs. However,
challenging situations remain, ranging from moral dilemmas around privacy and economic constraints to major
deployments. Future developments such as multimodal artificial intelligence and emotive chatbots provide promising
avenues for improving accessibility. Ultimately, setting and complying with accessibility requirements requires a
collaborative effort between policymakers, developers, and users to ensure that AI generation is useful for all. This
document advocates continuous improvement and rigorous monitoring of accessibility practices to promote inclusive
virtual environments.

Authors: Arsyad M. Hatadi , Syafina Ikhfana , Hapsah Hapsah , Hervina Hervina
Published: December 2024

Tuberculosis is a highly prevalent disease among individuals. The bacteria may enter the human body with inhaled air, after which they will be taken into the lungs, and then might disseminate from the lungs into the other parts of the body via the circulatory system, lymphatic system, respiratory tract-bronchi, or by direct passage to other areas. The most affected organs with tuberculosis are the lungs, but it may also affect other organs, including the meninges, bones, superficial glands, and other organs. They include: India, 26%; Indonesia, 8.5%; China, 8.4%; the Philippines, 6%; Pakistan, 5.7%; Nigeria, 4.4%; Bangladesh, 3.6%; and South Africa, 3.6%. These eight countries account for two-thirds of the global cases put together. 8.2% of tuberculosis cases are co-infected with HIV. Targeted by the national tuberculosis control program is the elimination of tuberculosis by 2035 and attainment of a tuberculosis-free status by 2050. Methods: This study is based on a review of general clinical practice guidelines, research publications, websites, and textbooks on pulmonary tuberculosis. Findings and Analysis: There are various research writings about the clinical presentations of the condition, confirmatory investigations for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the epidemiology of the patients, and risk conditions that predispose a patient to getting infected by the bacteria. Therapeutic interventions and pharmacological adverse effects. Conclusion Pulmonary tuberculosis is a communicable disease, and Indonesia still has a population that carries this infection. Thus, prevention of the disease should be done by every single individual in society by understanding and knowing the character of the disease.
Manifeste pour une politique des rythmes
Authors: Antonioli Manola , Drevon Guillaume , Gwiazdzinski Luc , Kaufmann Vincent , Pattaroni Luca
Published: December 2024

Nous vivons dans un monde toujours plus saturé. Saturé de signes, de normes, d’objets et de sollicitations qui tous contribuent à nos aliénations quotidiennes. Afin de retrouver les voies d’une émancipation, ce manifeste défend l’idée que la réponse à cette saturation réside dans la capacité à retrouver la maitrise politique de nos rythmes, qu’ils soient individuels ou collectifs.
Les auteurs explorent dans ces pages la part fondamentalement spatiale et territoriale du temps et les dynamiques temporelles des formes spatiales afin de formuler les grandes lignes d’une rythmologie. Ils invitent à ne pas simplement opposer le plein au vide, le ralentissement à l’accélération ou encore le surmenage à l’ennui mais à penser ensemble ce qui nous permet de souffler et ce qui nous fait désirer.
En retrouvant son sens premier de « façon de fluer », le concept de rythme permet de proposer une conception dynamique des sociétés, de mêler la mesure et l’expérience, d’ajouter aux régularités les mouvements spontanés, les aléas, la désorganisation et le désordre. De façon plus pratique, il permet d’analyser et de gérer des questions aussi diverses que la congestion du trafic, l’épuisement personnel ou l’accueil des foules.
La politique des rythmes constitue au final un appel à une approche chorégraphique de l’émancipation, soucieuse d’accueillir les différentes manières de vivre tout en composant un monde en commun.

User, observer, programmer et fabriquer l’espace public
Authors: Toussaint Jean-Yves , Zimmermann Monique
Published: December 2024

Les connaissances portant sur la pratique d'aménagement des espaces publics se focalisent souvent soit sur celle des habitants soit sur les pratiques de programmation formelle et technique. En mettant en relation ces divers éléments, cet ouvrage collectif veut contribuer à l'amélioration des connaissances sur la programmation et l'usage des espaces publics. La valorisation scientifique de la pratique d'aménagement originale de Lyon permet d'aborder l'embrayage de ces diverses connaissances et de comprendre comment il oriente la fabrication des espaces publics: place faite aux habitants, modes de programmation et de décision, formalisations architecturales et techniques. Le recours au concept d'espace 'public' conduit en outre à privilégier la multiplication des points de vue et l'association de compétences hétérogènes, liées à la complexité de cet objet à la fois politique, économique, social, technique et organisationnel.

The "Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device" is specifically designed to address the problem of stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In individuals with AF, the heart's atria (upper chambers) do not beat effectively, allowing blood to pool and potentially form clots, particularly in the left atrial appendage (LAA). These clots can then travel to the brain, causing a stroke. The purpose of the Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device is to mechanically seal off the left atrial appendage, preventing blood clots from forming there and reducing the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk of stroke but cannot tolerate long-term anticoagulation therapy. Hence Patients with atrial fibrillation frequently develop thrombus in the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA), which significantly increases their risk of stroke. LAA closure devices block the appendage, providing a percutaneous method of lowering this risk. With an emphasis on current developments, this research article examines the history, development effectiveness, delivery & deployment and safety of LAA closure devices via in-vitro simulation testing with controlled conditions.

The whole world responded to the need of continuing learning through a safer modality at the onset of the COVID19 pandemic. New and existing online platforms became in-demand to bear the bulk of lessons, teaching, and student engagement. One of the existing online platforms that were favorably used by higher institutions was Zoom. This study investigates on students’ perceptions on Zoom as a possible replacement for face-to-face modality for Purposive Communication (PURPCOM) class in the years ahead even after the ebb of the COVID19 pandemic. A total of 104 college students participated in an online Likert scale survey. Students’ responses regarding the advantages and disadvantages of using Zoom in PURPCOM class were thematically analyzed. The results indicated that an average of 49%-80% of students had a positive perception on using Zoom in their PURPCOM class in terms of their feelings, impact on learning, impact on interaction, and the capacity of Zoom to replace the in-person PURPCOM class. An average of 6% -19% disagreed on using Zoom over in-person class, and the top disadvantage of Zoom is the issue of poor internet connection. It is recommended that the survey be given to additional number of respondents in order to get a more accurate data on students’ perceptions in using Zoom as a replacement for the in-person PURPCOM class in future academic terms.

Deforestation and urbanization pose serious threats to the unique coastal ecosystems of the Éhotilé Islands National Park. This study is therefore conducted to assess the potential contributions of reforestation and restoration of mangroves in the Éhotilé Islands, both in terms of carbon sequestration and ecotourism development. The study reveals a rich biodiversity with 191 plant species listed. The mangroves covering 141.73 hectares of the park have a total biomass of 12,371 tonnes, sequestering approximately 6,185 tonnes of carbon, or 22,700 tonnes of CO₂. Projections indicate an increase in biomass of 7,219 tonnes in 2.5 years, and 23,687 tonnes in five years, demonstrating the resilience of the park’s ecosystems as carbon sinks. The park also features a diversity of ecosystems, ranging from mangroves to riparian and dryland forests, each of which contributes to the ecological stability of the region and to water and soil conservation. In parallel, the development of ecotourism within the Éhotilé Islands could provide economic benefits for local communities, while raising public awareness of environmental conservation. Discovery trails and observation infrastructure could enrich the visitor experience and support sustainable development initiatives. In this sense, the Éhotilé Islands National Park embodies a model of integrated conservation, combining biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and the promotion of sustainable ecotourism for the future.

Transfer Pricing and Growth Navigation Sales in a Dynamic Tax Environment in Indonesia
Authors: Sundari Sri , Mallisa Amalia Indah Pratama , Sapa' Angela Batara , Syamsuddin Syamsuddin
Published: December 2024

This study focuses on the relationship between transfer pricing and sales growth in a dynamic tax environment in Indonesia. Transfer pricing is an important issue for multinational companies in determining transaction prices between affiliated companies in various countries, including Indonesia, which has complex tax regulations. Transfer pricing practices are often used to optimize a company's tax burden by taking advantage of differences in tax rates between countries. However, the implementation of this strategy is not free from strict supervision by the Indonesian tax authorities, who continue to update policies and regulations to prevent tax avoidance. Along with the growth of the company's economy and sales, the challenges in navigating transfer pricing are increasing. Companies are faced with the need to maintain compliance with tax regulations while still focusing on sustainable sales growth.

Published: December 2024

Legal protection for the midwife profession is very important to ensure that they can carry out their duties safely and according to standards. Midwives play an important role in providing health services, especially for mothers and children. However, in practice, they often face legal risks related to malpractice, negligence, or violations of professional ethics. The implementation of legal protection is carried out through regulations and standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the government and professional organizations. This protection includes preventive legal aspects, such as regulating practice permits, as well as repressive aspects, such as legal assistance if problems occur. These efforts aim to maintain the quality of service and protect the rights of midwives and patients.
United States Intervention on the Cross-Strait Escalation between China and Taiwan
Authors: Irene Irene
Published: December 2024

The changes occurring in the structure of the international system are undoubtedly influenced by various factors in the dynamics of interactions among nations. The success of a country in bolstering its material strength inherently poses a threat to other nations with strategic interests in the region. From a realist perspective, there is an observation of attempts by a hegemonic state to pursue its national interests by seeking to influence the capabilities of other nations. In the Cross-Strait interactions between Taiwan and China, the role of the United States is undoubtedly integral and determines the escalation of tension across the strait. Efforts to establish a sovereign and democratic government, coupled with Taiwan's strategic location in the projection of U.S. national interests, introduce a new layer of complexity to the structure of the international system. The increasingly close cooperation between the United States and Taiwan, particularly in military and economic aspects, will impede China's efforts to achieve reunification. The commitment of the United States to interpreting the One-China policy tends to change with each administration, inevitably escalating tensions in the region. Consequently, Taiwan remains a decisive factor in U.S. control in the region, especially in preserving democracy and attaining other strategic objectives.
