Transforming homes, transforming lives: The role of property logbooks in scaling retrofit
Authors: Owens Rachael
Published: September 2024

The pace of good quality retrofit must be urgently scaled up across the UK, in order to tackle fuel poverty, improve the health and comfort of our homes, increase energy security and build climate resilience. Currently, however, incomplete information is used when designing retrofit policies and plans. There are barriers to the scale-up of good quality retrofit including citizen engagement, finance, supply chain uncertainty, a lack of trust and low uptake of quality assurance frameworks. This paper discusses the potential of enhanced, interoperable and democratised building, local and systems data to unlock many of these barriers. It will explore how the adoption of property logbooks across the UK can enable the aggregation of projects and drive access to finance. A retrofit plan for every home has the potential to engage and empower citizens and small to medium enterprise (SME) builders to act locally. This paper describes how the right packages of data can inform better decisions, what work has already been done to date, and how you can get involved in creating transformational change.
Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete : The history and development of the product, its characteristics, uses and shortcomings
Authors: Rushton Trevor
Published: September 2024

The media frenzy following the sudden closure of several schools in the summer of 2023 drew attention to the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in many public buildings in the UK, in turn spawning political debate as to why remedial action had not been taken sooner, whether chronic underinvestment was to blame, or whether successive governments had systematically cut corners by using cheap and short-life materials. Throughout this period the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and other professional institutions attempted to maintain a reasoned approach based upon factual analysis and developing knowledge as to the long-term performance of RAAC and the practical implications of its use. Despite poor experiences in the UK, RAAC has been, and still is, used extensively throughout Europe, the Americas and the Far East seemingly without the litany of failures identified in this country. This paper attempts to explain the history and development of the product, its characteristics, uses and shortcomings. Comment will be given on survey methodology, risk assessment and remedial works along with potential legal implications for surveyors and other practitioners.

Published: September 2024

Background: There are mainly three types of white matter disorders resulting from defective myelination (dysmyelinating), destruction of myelin (demyelination) and decreased myelination (hypomyelinating). Each of these disorders require MRI and specific imaging for diagnosis. However, diagnosis of white matter disorders cannot solely rely on imaging. Objective: In this review we aim to correlate clinical presentation, history, laboratory investigations, and imaging as a tool rather than diagnostic modality to highlight the importance of clinical and radiological collaboration to diagnose the exact disease process. We would specifically discuss variants of multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder, progressive multifocal leuckoencephalothy, and osmotic demyelination syndrome. This study also includes specific signs of different demyelination white matter disorders on MRI which are characteristic of that disease process. However, we also highlight what clinical correlation and investigations may further aid to confirm the diagnosis, prognosis and extent of disease progression. Methods: In this review article we used Prisma guidelines we extracted studies where there was evidence of better patient outcome in terms of clinicoradiological collaboration in diagnosing various demyelinating white matter disorders. Results: We found that timely diagnosis and better patient outcomes can be achieved if clinicians also take in accord their own clinical judgement and based on that order relevant radiological investigations resulting better clinician to clinician communication, judicious use of hospital resources and overall better outcome in disease process. Conclusion: Our study concludes that solid clinical judgement, laboratory investigations along with radiological features of disease process would enhance clinical outcomes in terms of timely diagnosis, specific treatment and tracking disease prognosis.

Game character, or avatar, acts as the nexus of virtual assets that the player collects and produces while exploring online game worlds. What is the value of this virtual identity in the online game community? Furthermore, what are the components of play that provide added-value to the players? The evolution of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) has been dramatic for the past 30 years. What has remained stable, however, is the role of game characters as the main channel for value growth and perception. In this paper, we apply game studies background in order to offer implications that would contribute to the field of business. By using the motivational framework with the game characters as focal point, we will point out the specific value structures that emerge in contemporary MMOGs.
Understanding the older entrepreneur: Comparing Third Age and Prime Age entrepreneurs in Finland
Authors: Kautonen T.
Published: September 2024

This paper responds to the need for more data on the topical issue of older entrepreneurship by comparing Third Age (50+ years) and Prime Age (20-49 years) entrepreneurs in Finland. The data comprises responses from 839 small firms which were established 2000-2006. The fact that 16% of these firms were founded by individuals aged 50 or over indicates that older entrepreneurship is not a marginal issue, even though the start-up rate in the Third Age population was found to be slightly less than half of that in the Prime Age cohort. Further, the findings point to the need for more empirical, especially qualitative, research on issues related to the social and cultural perceptions of old age and gender as well as different 'pull' motivations leading to entrepreneurship at an older age, which were found to clearly dominate over 'push' motives in this context.
Exploring the Efficacy of LightGBM, AdaBoost, and CatBoost in Alzheimer’s Disease Classification
Authors: Hariprasath G. , Dhinakaran P. , Kumar V. Harish
Published: September 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major public health concern that requires prompt and accurate diagnosis to intervene effectively. We present a comprehensive machine learning system in our work that is specifically designed to classify AD. It incorporates various neuroimaging and clinical features, including air time1, disp index1, gmrt in air1, max x extension1, and max y extension1. We can decipher complex data correlations suggesting AD pathology using rigorous preprocessing and visualization methods, such as correlation heatmaps and 3D scatter plots. We can distinguish minute changes between AD, moderate cognitive impairment, and healthy controls using CatBoost, LightGBM, and AdaBoost classifiers. A thorough assessment of the model’s performance is provided by the rigorous evaluation metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, which are supplemented by detailed classification reports and confusion matrices. Learning curves also provide information about the generalization and flexibility of models. Our findings support integrated analysis approaches across many data modalities and highlight the revolutionary potential of machine learning in AD diagnosis. Developing customized treatment plans and cutting-edge clinical decision support systems is expected to improve patient outcomes and the standard of care for neurodegenerative diseases.
Sexualidades
Authors: Goulart Adalberto Antonio
Published: September 2024

Tal qual o inconsciente que pulsa, dinâmico e, portanto, móvel por definição, a criar-se e recriar-se, constantemente em produção e em trânsito permanente, a sexualidade humana não é terreno de certezas, definições ou segurança. Nesse sentido, já não caberia falarmos de sexualidade ou gênero como algo a contemplar tão somente a heterossexualidade ou a homossexualidade. Precisamos considerar todas as possibilidades conhecidas e ainda não conhecidas, visto que a natureza subversiva do desejo não pode ser aprisionada, sob pena de desnaturalizarmos a condição humana, que é livre e plural para sermos quem somos, contemplando a diversidade que, bem ou mal, produziu tudo o que temos em termos de civilização e cultura.
A dinâmica de uma violência passional na vida cotidiana. Um contexto indiano
Authors: Basak Jhuma
Published: September 2024

Quando o clima geral de um período violento envolve a existência humana, frequentemente um mecanismo de sobrevivência contraproducente e feroz se torna um estilo de vida para a comunidade. Ao refletir sobre a estrutura sociopolítica e cultural da Índia, a autora tenta interpretar as configurações psicanalíticas da subjetividade humana em sua luta pela sobrevivência do self/corpo, tanto na resistência a uma ordem desumana quanto na participação nela. É assustador quando as celebrações da comunidade se transformam num entretenimento de massa exaltado, patriarcal e sexualmente orientado, com as mulheres carregando a fatalidade de suas consequências, tanto intrapsíquica quanto estruturalmente, no âmbito público e no âmbito privado. O corpo da mulher segue num dilema intrincado em sua luta pela sobrevivência na Índia pós-independência. A autora tenta registrar um período árido, em que a paixão perde suas características procriadoras essenciais e com frequência adquire expressões sexualizadas de relações violentas.
Fronteiras psíquicas na infância. Rupturas transgeracionais e psicossomáticas
Authors: Cilurzo Neto Diva Aparecida
Published: September 2024

Neste estudo clínico-teórico, a autora analisa as manifestações psíquicas e corporais desencadeadas em uma criança por conteúdos psíquicos perturbadores de base transgeracional, que por sua pungência não puderam ser mentalizados ou decodificados simbolicamente. Para tanto, apresenta a trajetória analítica vivida por uma dupla criança-analista no período de dois anos e meio de atendimento. Mediante o cotejo da dupla analítica de camadas psíquicas arcaicas e enrijecidas, surge o objeto perturbador de conotação familiar ao qual Freud denomina o estranho. Através das confidências e das inconfidências vividas dentro e fora do campo analítico com o paciente e sua mãe, vão sendo revelados núcleos psíquicos de dor carregados de auto e heteroagressividade mortífera, externalizados por meio da paralisação da capacidade simbólica, da desmentalização e de angústias avassaladoras evacuadas no corpo.

Published: September 2024

As autoras constroem o artigo a partir da experiência de alunos e professores do curso Relação Pais-Bebê: da Observação à Intervenção, no Instituto Sedes Sapientiae, São Paulo, durante o ano de 2020, em meio ao confinamento requerido pela pandemia de covid-19. A prática do método Esther Bick é a ferramenta de desenvolvimento da continência interna dos alunos, mas a situação pandêmica e o distanciamento social impossibilitaram realizar a observação das famílias em suas residências, pondo em xeque uma de suas principais atividades. As autoras descrevem o processo de gestação da capacidade de observar e conter os afetos despertados ante o susto e a sensação de desamparo desencadeados pela crise sanitária – processo que propiciou ao grupo experiências criativas através da escrita –, bem como a alternativa de observação virtual em caráter experimental, que ganhou status de pioneirismo, ampliando o método para novas possibilidades e aplicações.
Pensamentos em transição. Resistência à psicanálise, ChatGPT, Uma memória do futuro, Tudo em todo o lugar ao mesmo tempo…
Authors: Fontes Maria Helena de Souza
Published: September 2024

Em 1926, H. P. Lovecraft já alertava para o risco de a aceleração do conhecimento produzir um retrocesso à ignorância, causado pela incapacidade da mente humana de processar o acréscimo de saberes. O Chatgpt, com sua ampliação infinitesimal da capacidade de relacionar conteúdos de diversas áreas, surge como a realização da ameaça de desencadear turbulência incontrolável na sociedade humana. A autora relaciona esse temor à resistência à psicanálise, tanto por parte dos analisandos quanto dos próprios analistas. O método psicanalítico se mostra vantajoso para lidar com as angústias acrescidas pela complexidade do mundo, neste momento de transição, na medida em que se baseia na continência à turbulência provocada por ansiedades catastróficas, ativadas no encontro psicanalítico, possibilitando alcançar um significado. A autora concorda com o ensaísta James Bridle, que sugere uma aproximação às linguagens contemporâneas e à tecnologia, e no texto traça um paralelo entre a atualidade literária da linguagem de Bion em Uma memória do futuro e a linguagem cinematográfica do filme Tudo em todo o lugar ao mesmo tempo. Essa aproximação auxiliaria o analista a exercer a capacidade de pensar a realidade interna e externa. O pensamento seria o antídoto à nova idade das trevas.

Process Analysis on Business Advertisement Text Data: A Systemic Functional Analysis Approach
Authors: Jerry Wilson  , Mukhlis Lubis
Published: September 2024

This research is motivated by the significance of advertisements in influencing consumer behavior through the use of persuasive and strategic language. Advertisements not only serve to inform but also to shape consumer perceptions and preferences through emotional and visually appealing messages. This study identifies a significant knowledge gap regarding how various advertising techniques interact with the psychological and social factors of consumers. The research methodology employed a Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach to analyze business advertisement texts published in print and digital media. The main findings indicate that business advertisement texts tend to be dominated by material processes focused on physical actions such as "buy," "use," and "get," which are effective in driving consumer behavior. Mental and relational processes also play significant roles in influencing thoughts and forming relationships between products and consumers. Additionally, the presence of verbal, existential, and behavioral processes enriches advertisement messages with direct communication, emphasis on the existence of products, and specific behavioral actions. This research highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in analyzing advertisements to understand the complex interactions between advertisements and consumers' socio-psychological factors. The implications of this study provide practical guidance for marketing practitioners in designing more effective and impactful advertisements.

Authors: Nursery Alfaridi Nasution  , Idris Gautama So  , Asnan Furinto  , Rini Setiowati
Published: September 2024

The concept of circular economy entails the reduction of resource inputs and the reclamation of waste in order to tackle the environmental, economic, and social challenges that sprang from the persistence of the linear economic model. Implementing a circular economy certainly has its own challenges. One of which is to find a sustainable supply chain. Sustainable supply chains are designed and man¬aged by combining practices responsible for the environment and society throughout the life cycle of a product or service. This is possible to achieve through good collaboration between supply chains and having a supply chain design with a sustainable concept. Thus, this research discusses the effect of sustainable supply chain management on circular economy performance mediated by circular economy capability. The objects of this research are 82 courier service companies on Java Island. This research employed quantitative design. The data collection method involved distributing online questionnaires to middle – top managers as respondents. The results show that sustainable supply chain management has a positive effect on environmental performance, then sustainable supply chain management has a positive effect on financial performance. Furthermore, circular economy capability partially mediates the correlation between sustainable supply chain management and environmental performance, and partially mediates the correlation between sustainable supply chain management and financial performance. This research conveys the direction of further research in the same re¬search context.

Published: September 2024

The relevance of transcreation skills goes beyond mere translation strategy to a more sought-after service, that help equip translators with relevant employability skills. Nevertheless, the concern for the high demands of translators who possess these skills calls for a thorough training of future translators to acquire these skills. On the other hand, this will be possible if translator educators are already equipped with these skills. As such, this study aims to explore how translation educators, specifically, university lecturers can be prepared to effectively address the growing need for transcreation skills. The research further explores practical techniques and approaches aimed at teaching instructors to successfully impart transcreation abilities and adequately equip students for employment in creative translation. In order to achieve the objective of this research, a quantitative research methodology was adopted, and an online research questionnaire was also utilized. Moreover, a total of ninety-seven (97) study participants were included in the online survey to express their perspectives on how the university lecturers can be trained to address demands for creative translation. The participants' replies, which constitute the primary dataset for this study, were presented and subjected to thorough analysis. Additionally, these replies provided additional clarification on the two fundamental study hypotheses. The study results highlighted several fundamental elements connected with transcreation skills, including bilingual proficiency, creative writing, cultural sensitivity, and multimedia proficiency. Based on the analyzed data, the research revealed that adoption of practical strategies and methodologies such as professional development, inclusion of transcreation projects in translation training module, collaboration with industry experts, and technology integration helps to train translation educators to effectively teach transcreation skills. The study, however, recommends combination of these identified strategies for effective training of university lecturers.

The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of percent body fat estimates from seven different bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) models and a seven-site skin fold formula (SKF) compared with air displacement plethysmography (ADP) in females. Eighty-two female volunteers ranging from 19-67 years (31.96 ± 1.39) enrolled in this study. Body composition was assessed by seven site skin folds (SKF), ADP, Tetrapolar BIA (TBIA), and five consumer grade BIA devices: finger to finger (FF), hand to hand (HH) and three different leg to leg (LL1, LL2, LL3) models. In addition, LL3 was analyzed using the athletic (LL3a) and non-athletic modes (LL3b). The Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at Eastern Washington University approved this study. The participants represented a wide range of percentage body fat (BF) as assessed by ADP (8.40 to 47.10, mean = 26.15 ± 0.93 SEE). No difference in the estimated percent body fat was found between ADP and SKF, TBIA, FF, HH, LL1, LL2, LL3a, and LL3b (r=0.862, 0.553, 0.775, 0.771, 0.765, 0.791, 0.798, 0.796 respectively; P<0.001). Bland-Altman plots of the differences between % fat by ADP and BIA versus average % fat by the two methods showed no systematic differences for SKF and the seven BIA models (mean differences ± SD : SKF, 1.92 ± 4.25; TBIA, 0.73 ± 7.3; FF, -1.55 ± 5.34, HH, 1.37 ± 5.35; LL1, -4.70 ± 5.40, LL2, -3.72 ± 5.12 and LL3a, 1.70 ± 5.07; LL3b, -6.11 ± 31.40 p<0.05). Skin fold measures were found to be the most reliable field method of estimating body composition. Of the BIA machines tested, the strongest relationship was found in the LL models with the LL3 in athletic mode (LL3a) being the most reliable. For the more affordable models, the LL2 was the most reliable compared to ADP.

Sustainable resource management involve managing resources in a way that their sources are not depleted; so that the future generations can also benefit from it. Africa is endowed with diverse and abundant natural resources and stands at a critical juncture where responsible and sustainable management of these resources is paramount for the continent's development. The Kenyan governments (national-level and county-level) recognize the need for sustainable resource management for the good of the citizens. In devolved government units in Kenya, sustainable resource management is a critical. This study sought to assess the dynamics of public participation on sustainable resource management in county government of Kericho, Kenya. The study was guided by Resource-based view theory, administrative theory, transformational leadership theory and the theory of Planned Behaviour. This study adopted a pragmatism approach that took a practical and flexible approach, focusing on the usefulness and applicability of research findings, rather than an all-or-nothing, mutually exclusive philosophical position. A descriptive research design with a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative data collections was adopted. The target population of the study comprised a total of 213 senior, middle and lower level management staff of the county government of Kericho. The Stratified random sampling was used to develop a sample from different management groups. A sample of 139 management staff was selected using Slovin’s formula. Reliability of the study was ensured by conducting a pilot study in the neighbouring County Government of Nakuru while context, content and criterion validity were ascertained by the researcher in the field of study. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics which described the nature of ethical leadership and sustainable resource management. Inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis) were used to determine the nature of influence between the variables. This was done with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Qualitative data was analysed by themes and content analysis. The study findings revealed that, public participation had a statistically significant influence on sustainable resource management. The study concluded that there exists a strong and significant relationship between public participation (r=0.832 and p=0.000) and sustainable resource management in Kericho County, Kenya. The study recommends that in order to enhance public participation members of the public should be empowered by giving the information and documents containing information on development activities and legislations that require their input in advance so that they know and understand what they are coming to do in public forums.
