The Global Business Cycle within the New Commodities and the Financial Cycle: An Empirical Evidence Based on a Multivariate Unobserved Components Model (UCM)
Authors: Amira Hakim , Thalassinos Eleftherios
Published: November 2023

The recent analysis focused on gold and energy as hedge fund and channel for the cyclicity of the economic system. Within the occurrence of the prominent crisis, the financial cycle became a nexus relation with the real sphere. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the impact of the commodities and the stock market on the global business cycle within filtering based on HP and Band Pass filter for the period Q1–1984 to Q4–2020. We review the literature on the business cycle, commodities, and financial cycle research. We find which HP trend is close to the estimated trend of global GDP based on a multivariate UC model. We provide a Band-Pass filter to examine the upswing and downswing commodities cycle as well as the financial cycle. We construct a multivariate unobserved component model that includes the gold price, the crude oil price, and the financial cycle as the independent component within the model. The estimation of the model found that oil has a lag impact on the fluctuation of the business cycle, it reacts as an impulsion for the crisis, compared to the gold and the global financial cycle which reacts simultaneously with the trend of the global business cycle.

MNC Strategy in Contested Environments: Stay Put or Stay Foot?
Authors: Bosch Ulf
Published: November 2023

The chapter ‘MNC Strategy in Contested Environments: Stay Put or Stay Foot?’ provides a contemporary view on the key questions relating to the strategic orientation of multinational corporations (MNCs) in emerging markets with a particular focus on China. Until recently, possible heterogeneity in business strategy and firm performance was concealed by the seemingly endless growth story in the emerging market arena. In view of increasingly harsh conditions, both in terms of host-country markets and institutions, foreign-invested firms may either choose to concede, conform, contest, compete, collaborate or co-create, to name a few conspicuous configurations. More than four decades have passed in which emerging markets have burgeoned as the preeminent growth drivers propelling the efficiency- and market-seeking MNCs to the forefront of cross-border economic activity. This development has been supported by global integration, multilateralism as well as institutional transition and reform. Hence, institutional factors, alongside external industry structures as well as internal firm resources, have been credited with having superior explanatory power in emerging economies. Moreover, high-level dynamism and discontinuities have always been the hallmarks of emerging markets. However, a new level of turbulence has emerged triggered by exogenous shocks such as Covid-19 as well as geopolitical conflicts and power shifts. MNCs face unprecedented challenges; and their commitment in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) have been put to the test like never before. Decision makers in MNC subsidiaries and their headquarters ask themselves the question: ‘Stay Put or Stay Foot?’.
Young Canadians’ Desire to Change the World and the Adults Who Support Them
Authors: L. Lawford Heather , L. Ramey Heather , Berardini Yana , Romaldi Christa , Khanna Nishad
Published: November 2023

Generativity involves care and concern for future generations as a legacy of the self. It is a central developmental task in midlife for both individual well-being, and for a functioning society. As such, opportunities to foster generativity in youth have lasting benefits. There is growing evidence examining correlates of generativity with youth. To date, however, these studies rely mostly on university samples, and are somewhat homogeneous with respect to demographic representation. At the same time, youth engagement supported by adults has also been linked to youth identity development (generally considered a precursor to generativity) and has been identified as a positive feature in youth programs. While youth engagement likely benefits generative development, there is no empirical research to date linking them together. Therefore, in this chapter we present survey findings from over 600 youth of diverse backgrounds, from a community sample, aged 12 to 28 years old, who participated in various youth programs across Canada. Our literature review and research findings highlight the importance of fostering youth generativity and note that youth programming supported by adult allies is a fruitful context for this task.
Essential Oils and Their Antioxidant Importance: The In Vitro and In Vivo Treatment and Management of Neurodegenerative Diseases with New Delivery Applications
Authors: Adedamola Akinyede Kolajo , Adekilekun Oyewusi Habeebat , Olubunmi Oladipo Oluwatosin , Samuel Tugbobo Oladimeji
Published: November 2023

Essential oils are organic volatile oils of plant sources consisting of various compounds with numerous medicinal and pharmacological actions of great importance in other fields. Neurodegenerative diseases are a constellation of conditions depicted by multifactorial processes, as evident in structural and functional neurodegeneration that affect diverse brain parts showing similar cellular and molecular etiologies. The antioxidant properties of essential oils are promising targets in drug discovery to find the solution to incurable neurodegenerative diseases in terms of prevention, treatment and management. The antioxidants in essential oils encounter barriers in their delivery to the central nervous system for effective targeted therapy. These barriers are characterized as limited permeability and solubility, and accumulation of drugs or molecules to the non-targeted site, among others, render neurodegenerative diseases incurable. However, nanotechnology and other approaches in drug delivery to the central nervous system provide promising results in different in vitro and in vivo studies that indicate controlled drug release, increased bioavailability and efficiency in treating and managing neurodegenerative disease.

Authors: Monahan Kathleen
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the coping strategy of humor presented by eight adult women aged 26 through 61 in a small clinical practice setting. Each woman had been sexually abused by a variety of family members during childhood. They were seeking therapy for life-phase issues (e.g., divorce, retirement, marital problems, parent/child issues). The reemergence of sexual violence memories and the ways in which these women used humor as a coping strategy to alleviate the effects of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) are presented.
Programming an Evolutionary Algorithm for the Estimation of Non-Linear Damping Vibration Parameters
Authors: A. Lara Carlos , Guerra Cesar
Published: November 2023

The use of genetic algorithms (GAs) has branched out into various disciplines such as mechanical engineering, providing solutions in cases where some models do not have a mathematical solution. In the field of mechanical vibrations, there are empirical nonlinear models that seek to represent the physical behavior of certain elements, such as in aeronautical applications, where stiffness and damping in structures can present hysteresis and can be represented by means of the Bouc-Wen (BW) model. This model includes constants that define the behavior of non-linear stiffness and damping, which are difficult to obtain since they are empirical models. This work presents the results of programming a GA to estimate the BW model constants for wire rope springs, commonly used as vibration isolators that have nonlinear stiffness and damping resulting in hysteresis behavior.
Simulation of a Novel Cooling System for a Closed Greenhouse
Authors: Zapalac Geordie
Published: November 2023

A simulation of a cooling system for a closed greenhouse is described. The cooling system relies upon cool ambient temperatures during the night and morning to discharge heat accumulated within the greenhouse during the day. Radiative heat into the greenhouse is transferred to a large reservoir of water inside the greenhouse using an unpressurized droplet system. During the night and morning the accumulated reservoir heat is discharged to ambient air using the same droplet system to transfer reservoir heat into a restricted volume of air above the reservoir, while simultaneously circulating the heated air through an air-to-air heat exchanger comprised of thin-walled plastic tubes.
Perspective Chapter: Igniting Cultural Heritage Tourism as Potential to Benefit Rural Communities in the Zululand District, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Nkwanyana Samukelisiwe , Thandi Nzama Antonia
Published: November 2023

Cultural sensitivity and cultural sustainability have been discussed in other fields but have not been clearly understood in the study of tourism and subsequently have not been filtered through the strategies and policies that support cultural heritage tourism development. Studies on cultural sensitivity and cultural sustainability focus more on conceptualization, which leaves a gap in linking these concepts with cultural heritage product development, and beneficiation by local communities. The purpose of this chapter is to advocate that cultural sensitivity and cultural sustainability should be at the core of all efforts that are directed at igniting cultural heritage tourism using the R66 cultural heritage route, South Africa as a case study. A literature review was conducted to gather information that sought to address the purpose of this discussion. The findings point to the necessity of partnerships and capacity building of among all stakeholders involved in cultural heritage tourism development. Based on the findings, it is recommended that tourist destinations should adopt and implement strategies and policies that promote cultural sensitivity and cultural sustainability in stimulating cultural heritage tourism planning and development.
Heat Transfer Fundamentals Concerning Quenching Materials in Cold Fluids
Authors: Kobasko Nikolai
Published: November 2023

The current chapter discusses three principles of heat transfer related to transient nucleate boiling process when any film boiling during quenching is completely absent. They include the duration of nucleate boiling establishment, surface temperature behavior during self-regulated thermal process, and generalized fundamental equation for evaluation of transient nucleate boiling length. In fact, majority of authors in their analytical and experimental investigations always considered three classical heat transfer modes: film boiling, nucleate boiling, and convection. It is shown in the chapter that the absence of film boiling process simplifies numerical and analytical calculations. It is very important to know that mentioned principles can be used for calculation of temperature fields and stresses and development of new technologies without performing costly experiments. It is stated that universal correlation for heating and cooling time evaluation, modified by proposed principles, can be widely used for recipes development when exploring new intensive quenching technologies. Examples of calculations are provided.

Authors: Doma Lepcha Lakpa , Ch. Sarkar Biplov , Shukla Gopal , Chakravarty Sumit
Published: November 2023

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) greatly contribute to livelihood, development, and poverty alleviation across the tropics. We also assumed that the fringe communities inhabiting Jaldapara National Park (JNP) of Indian eastern sub-Himalayan region largely rely on the NTFPs for their livelihood due to its remote and isolated location with no physical infrastructure and facilities. Multistage sampling technique was used for the study. The sample size was 205 households selected randomly from a sample frame of 10 villages. Descriptive statistics was employed to analyze and summarize the data. A total of 146 NTFP species was documented. The communities relied on their NTFP collection/harvest for food, medicine, firewood, fodder, and other socio-cultural items for household use and cash income. The documented species were further categorized into plant, fish, fungus, and insect. The relative frequency of citation (RFC), value ranged from 0.2 to 0.96 for all categories of NTFPs with average 0.78. Income from NTFPs contributed on an average 45% of the total annual household income of the households. NTFPs provided a natural insurance to households especially during the periods of scarcity. Focused interventions with technical and financial support are recommended to uplift the livelihood of the communities in JNP.
Abnormal Cervical Remodeling Early Depiction by Ultrasound Elastography: Potential Opportunities for Preterm Birth Prevention and Delay
Authors: Cristina Russu Manuela , Elena Ghelmene Adriana , Stặnculescu RuxandraViorica , Nastasia Şerban
Published: November 2023

Early depiction of abnormal cervical remodeling (CR) is a prime information source with days/even weeks to uterine contractions for preterm birth (PTB) risks. CR phases, softening-ripening-dilation, are distinctive by molecular, and timing in preterm/term: integrity loss in ripening and dilation. Changes in extracellular matrix, cellular content, water retention drive progressively to resistance reduction, rising elasticity, relaxing cervical smooth muscle cells (CSMCs) are organized like a sphincter at internal os. Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging-SWEI (dynamic elastography) based on objectively measurable cervical response to deformability is more accurate for early CR depiction from 8–12 weeks vs. conventional ultrasound cervical length (CL) measurements (16–23+6days weeks). SWEI quantifies tissue microstructure, constant fractional stiffness reduction (~ 4%/week), and spatial gradient in Shear Wave Speed (SWS) along cervix, and CL serial measurements in addition offers better strategies for prolongation, actual/future fetal safety, when cervical softness/shortness progresses. Vaginal progesterone (P4) from early pregnancy to complete 37 weeks is preventive: controls CR, indicated by SWS prior to CL < 25 mm, and cerclage (1–2 stiches) and/or pessary needs, adjuvant to cerclage, for CL < 15 mm after cerclage. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews proved P4 efficacy in prolongation (>28, 34, 37 weeks) in asymptomatic cases, with characteristic history/actual abnormal CR/shortness, a small better efficacy for vaginal P4, and cerclage vs. pessary, when separately analyzed; few retrospective studies exist on triple association efficacy for PTB prevention/delay and neonatal outcomes.
Development of a High-Yield and Environmentally Friendly Hydroponic System of Cucumber
Authors: Tanemura Ryota , Ohyama Takuji
Published: November 2023

Recently, hydroponics became popular in some vegetables, such as tomatoes and strawberries, but hydroponics for cucumbers has not been established. This chapter introduced the development of a high-yield and environmentally friendly hydroponic system of cucumber. In the hydroponics of cucumbers, hanging training is the most suitable branching method because of its superior yield and quality. Chip charcoal with a 3–5 mm diameter was the best-supporting medium, and the same chip charcoal could be repeatedly used for over ten successive cultivations. In an open system, concentrations of a nutrient solution indicated by electrical conductivity for cucumber were suitable from 1.5 to 2.0 dS/m. A new circulation hydroponic system has been developed, in which nutrient solution in a storage tank dripped into the culture medium, and the discharged wastewater from the medium was recycled into the storage tank. The nutrient solution did not change throughout the cultivation period, and the total amounts of nutrients in the circulating system were reduced by about 50 to 75% compared to the open system. In cucumber hydroponics, the increase in the K/Ca ratio improves the commercial fruit yield. Hydroponics of cucumbers not only significantly increased yields compared to soil cultivation but also reduced labor time.

Alternatives to Hysterectomy for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Authors: O. Amarin Zouhair , Farouq Al tal Omar
Published: November 2023

Hysterectomy is a major surgical procedure that is performed through conventional laparotomy, laparoscopy and robotic surgery, or through the vaginal route to avoid abdominal wall incisions. In certain situations, both the abdominal and vaginal routes are used in combination. Hysterectomy is indicated for malignancies of the uterus, uterine cervix, and ovaries; to reduce the risk of future malignancies and genital prolapse; and for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is an aberration caused by hormonal imbalance that is not related to the normal menstrual cycle, with no clear etiology in most cases. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding can be treated medically or surgically. Medical treatment includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the combined oral contraceptive pills, progestogens, danazol, analogs of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, and the anti-fibrinolytic tranexamic acid. Endometrial ablation and hysterectomy are common routine, low-risk surgical procedures for dysfunctional uterine bleeding but are associated with some comparatively rare serious complications, both operatively and post-operatively. All types of endometrial ablation and hysterectomy remain a mainstay of alternative options for patients where the medical approach proves to be ineffective or is associated with intolerable side effects.

We present an innovation practice that focuses on the pedagogy of visualization and representation, after validating these two tools as approaches to design problems. Our work is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, we focus on providing training to students in graphic analysis, while in the second phase, we focus on the realms of proposition and ideation. The exercise was planned to be simultaneously developed in two educational programs with common interests, namely the "Bachelor's Degree in Architecture" and the "Bachelor's Degree in Digital Design and Creative Technologies". Furthermore, coordination efforts were made between the two programs to involve two courses from the first year: "Digital Tools" and "Geometry II" from the Bachelor's Degree in Architecture, and "Digital Tools for Information and Communication" and "Digital Geometry and Programming" from the Bachelor's Degree in Digital Design and Creative Technologies.

Presentamos una práctica de innovación que trabaja sobre la pedagogía de la visualización y la representación, tras validar estas dos herramientas como motores de aproximación a la problemática proyectual. Abordamos nuestra labor, en una primera fase, desde la capacitación que se debe exigir al estudiantado en el análisis gráfico y, en un segundo nivel, desde los ámbitos de la proposición y la ideación. El ejercio fue planificado para que se puediera desarrollar simultáneamente en dos programas formativos con intereses comunes, esto es, el "Grado en Arquitectura" y el "Grado en Diseño Digital y Tecnologías Creativas". En ambas titulaciones, además, se hizo una labor de coordinación horizontal para involucrar a dos materias del primer curso: por un lado, "Herramientas Digitales" y "Geometría II" del Grado en Arquitectura, por otro, "Herramientas Digitales para la Información y la Comunicación" y "Geometría Digital y Programación" del Grado en Diseño Digital y Tecnologías Creativas.

La actividad incluye el diseño de diferentes juegos basados en la asociación de conceptos, los cuales deben ser resueltos correctamente para poder escapar del aula, así como una evaluación final por parte de los estudiantes sobre su experiencia. El formato Escape Room ha sido valorado positivamente por el alumnado que se muestra satisfecho, de forma general, con esta experiencia docente, y que les ha permitido identificar aspectos clave, así como detectar dificultades en la realización de las pruebas, reforzando así conceptos de la asignatura.
La colección Elementos: un archivo operativo para el aprendizaje arquitectónico
Authors: Fernández Elorza Héctor Daniel , García Fern Carlos , Cruz García Oscar , Aparicio Guisado Jesús María
Published: November 2023

Collections, according to Michel Foucault, are places where we juxtapose ourselves, and all these juxtapositions, classifications, and catalogs provide a way of connecting things both visually and in discourse. The collection and preservation of documents produced in architectural practice have sparked an interest in the notion of the archive within Architecture Schools. From this perspective, the Elements collection, as a teaching and communication experience, has entailed the construction of a documentary archive through the work of cataloging, organization, and formatting of the work carried out in the classroom. It serves as a visual and relational tool connecting various concepts addressed in the teaching unit with the documents developed during the learning and comprehension process. The editorial experience is essential for enhancing the «fragment» and its re-signification through critical thinking and a focused approach making this instance a learning opportunity for future publications.

Las colecciones, según Michel Foucault, son lugares donde nos yuxtaponemos, y todas estas yuxtaposiciones, clasificaciones y catálogos presentan una forma de conectar las cosas tanto con la mirada como con el discurso. La recopilación y conservación de los documentos producidos en la práctica arquitectónica ha suscitado un interés por la noción de archivo en las Escuelas de Arquitectura. Desde esta posición, la colección Elementos, como experiencia docente y de comunicación, ha supuesto la construcción de un archivo documental mediante el trabajo de catalogación, organización y formateado de los trabajos realizados en el aula. Una herramienta visual y relacional entre los diferentes conceptos que se trataron en la unidad docente y los diferentes documentos desarrollados durante su aprendizaje y comprensión. La experiencia editorial es fundamental para la puesta en valor del «fragmento» y su resignificación mediante el pensamiento y enfoque crítico lo que convierte esta instancia en aprendizaje para futuras publicaciones.
Propiocepciones del binomio formación-profesión en escuelas de arquitectura iberoamericanas
Authors: Fuentealba Quilodrán Jessica Solange , Barrientos Díaz Macarena
Published: November 2023

Tension between architectural education and its profession is extreme in Ibero-American educational contexts that assign the responsibility of granting degrees and professional qualifications only to the university. The communication interweaves interviews carried out between 2017 and 2019 among 47 Spanish and Chilean teachers from diverse architecture schools in order to critically reflect about the tensions of the education-profession binomio. The objective is to offer a state of the art informed by the “proprioception” that the respondents have of their own institutions and academic-teaching practice. As an analysis method, text analysis software (Atlas Ti and NVivo) is used, following the principles of IT Grounded Theory. The results reveal a series of emerging concepts and new dimensions that refer to transformations in relation to the disciplinary tradition.

El objetivo es ofrecer un estado del arte informado a partir de la “propiocepción” que la muestra tiene de su propio ejercicio docente, académico y/o como directivos de instituciones que imparten el grado de arquitectura. Como método de análisis se recurre a softwares de análisis de texto (Atlas Ti y NVivo), siguiendo los principios de la Teoría Fundamentada TI. Los resultados desprenden una serie de conceptos emergentes y nuevas dimensiones que refieren a transformaciones en relación a la tradición disciplinar.
Aprendizaje basado en proyectos: estudio de casos reales en la asignatura de Geometría
Authors: Quintilla Castán Marta
Published: November 2023

First-year propaedeutic subjects such as Descriptive Geometry are perceived by students as the acquisition of an initial instrumental knowledge, without a direct application in their professional work. Contrary to what happens in the rest of the subjects of the Degree, in which the project-based learning methodology is the basis of teaching, in the subject Descriptive Geometry a traditional learning methodology has been maintained. Over the last few years, we have been working on several Teaching Innovation Projects with the aim of introducing the project-based learning methodology in the subject. The aim is the application of the knowledge of the subject through the resolution of activities that help to complement the acquisition of skills, abilities and attitudes necessary in the current working environment and thus stimulate and involve the student in the subject.

Las asignaturas propedéuticas de primer curso como la Geometría Descriptiva, son percibidas por los alumnos como la adquisición de un conocimiento inicial instrumental, sin una aplicación directa en su labor profesional. Al contrario de lo que sucede en el resto de asignaturas del Grado, en los que la metodología del aprendizaje basado en proyectos es la base de la enseñanza, en la docencia de la Geometría Descriptiva se ha mantenido una metodología de aprendizaje tradicional. A lo largo de los últimos cursos, se ha estado trabajando en varios Proyectos de Innovación Docentes con el objetivo de introducir la metodología de aprendizaje basado en proyectos en la asignatura. La finalidad es la aplicación de los conocimientos de la materia a través de la resolución de actividades que ayuden a complementar la adquisición de capacidades, habilidades y actitudes necesarias en el entorno laboral actual y así estimular e implicar al alumno en la asignatura.

Design with a resounding way of being in the world through a Design Unit at the University of Alicante that anchors its exercises at the hinterland that surrounds our cities; try to evaluable and compare it. These are the main goals of the learning process that this paper explains. To do this, the Design Unit works from how a Buddhist community understand the landscape; from lessons about the animist and the vibrant; and from lessons on kinetic architecture. The Osgood technique is used so that the students make their own assessment of the experience. The system works as a questionnaire on concepts (theoretical dimensions, transversal competencies, scope of the method) in which to choose a suitable position from 1 to 7. Three of the concepts are selected to generate a visual model at the digital representational space Rhinoceros that allows a certain emphasis or discourse about the results.

Son los intereses de un taller de arquitectura en la UA y, para ello, el taller trabaja con las formas cómo una comunidad budista usa el territorio; con lo animista o vibrante; y desde lecciones sobre arquitectura cinética. Se usa la técnica de Osgood para que el alumnado realice su propia valoración de la experiencia. El sistema funciona como un cuestionario sobre conceptos (dimensiones teóricas, competencias transversales, alcance del método) en los que escoger una posición del 1 al 7 que se considere que refleja mejor el trabajo. Tres de los conceptos son seleccionados para generar un modelo visual en Rhinoceros que permite poner énfasis en una parte de la crítica o discurso acerca de los resultados.

Published: November 2023

When students in Architecture School reach the fifth year, they are already tired; they think that in urban planning subjects they are always told about similar questions that they do not fully understand or control; and above all thery are thinking about finishing their degree and getting to work, usually outside the urban planning field. In this context, this academic year 22-23, the subject of Territory and City of the 21st Century has taken on a double challenge; establish academic content that guides reflection on the needs of the territory and the city of the 21st century and motivate students in terms of urban planning, seeking to rescue a little of the lost hope. The result has been a subject where teaching has been implemented seeking to be elastic; a successful teaching experience that we want to show at JIDA 2023.

Cuando el alumnado de la Escuela llega a quinto curso ya está cansado; piensa que en las asignaturas de urbanismo siempre se le cuentan cuestiones similares que no acaba de entender bien, ni controlar; y sobre todo está pensando en acabar su grado y ponerse a trabajar, habitualmente, fuera del ámbito urbanístico. En este contexto la asignatura de Territorio y Ciudad del Siglo XXI este curso 22-23 ha asumido un doble reto; establecer los contenidos académicos que guíen la reflexión sobre las necesidades del territorio y la ciudad del siglo XXI y motivar al alumnado en cuanto al urbanismo, buscando rescatar un poco de la ilusión perdida. El resultado ha sido una asignatura donde se ha implantado una docencia que se ha caracterizado como elástica; una experiencia docente exitosa que se quiere mostrar en JIDA 2023.
Lo uno, y también lo otro: contenedor preciso, programa alterno

The programmatic changes required by the contemporary condition are supported by the interiors. This paper presents the teaching experience of two design studio courses of different formative cycle, in which programmatic uncertainty was raised as a driving agent in the approach and development of the architectural project. The students were confronted with a specific assignment and then adopted a forced programmatic change. In this way, and through the conceptual understanding of a precise container and programming, change, possibility, and adaptation were introduced as a project strategy, while at the same time generating an approximation between theory and practice. The programmatic alternation allowed students to approach the theme of functional indifference in a less obvious way, to project unnamed rooms with a better critical perspective. The start of both courses dispensed of any contextual relationship, hiding the changes in the interior.

Son los interiores, los que soportan los cambios programáticos que requiere la condición contemporánea. La comunicación presenta la experiencia docente de dos talleres de arquitectura, de distinto ciclo formativo, en los cuales se planteó la incertidumbre programática como agente conductor en la aproximación y desarrollo del proyecto arquitectónico. Los estudiantes se vieron enfrentados a un encargo específico, para luego, adoptar un cambio programático forzado. De esta forma, y a través del entendimiento conceptual del contenedor preciso y la programación, se introdujo cambio, posibilidad y adaptación como estrategia de proyecto, al mismo tiempo que se generó una aproximación entre teoría y práctica. La alternancia programática permitió a los estudiantes acercarse al tema de la indiferencia funcional, de una manera menos obvia, para proyectar habitaciones sin nombre con mejor perspectiva crítica. El arranque de ambos cursos prescindió de toda relación contextual, ocultando los cambios en el interior.

The article promotes urban drifts and their various ways of communication to be implemented as analysis tool and project at schools of architecture. Researching with our bodies through different drifts allows us to appraise and narrate the space we experience. This proposal as an instrumental teaching develops the audiovisual production of poetic mappings from two drifts coordinated by Francesco Careri in Madrid (2022) and in Barcelona (2023). Drifting associated to several recording devices is a sensitive practice that triggers imagining, creating, and experimenting with space. Finally, the optional subject "Art and City Workshop: An Introduction to Spatial Perception" of the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Design of the National University of Rosario, Argentina, is presented in which drifts and videos mentioned are spread as references to practical exercises organized in three scales of approaching reality: domestic, daily and urban.

El artículo promueve las derivas urbanas y sus diversas maneras de comunicar para su implementación como herramienta de análisis y proyecto en escuelas de arquitectura. Investigar con el cuerpo a través de la deriva permite apreciar y relatar el espacio vivido. La propuesta como enseñanza instrumental desarrolla la producción audiovisual de cartografías poéticas de dos derivas coordinadas por Francesco Careri, en Madrid (2022) y en Barcelona (2023). La deriva asociada a herramientas de registros es una actividad sensible sugerente para imaginar, inventar y experimentar con el espacio. Finalmente, se presenta la asignatura optativa ‘Taller Arte y Ciudad: introducción a la percepción espacial’ de la Facultad de Arquitectura, Planeamiento y Diseño de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (Argentina), en donde las derivas y los videos mencionados se difunden como referencias para los ejercicios prácticos organizados en tres escalas de aproximación: la doméstica, la cotidiana y la urbana.

The urban innovation project in which this experience took place was addressed challenges through an urban laboratory involving university students from various disciplines. It had two main objectives: addressing issues on Peru-Paraguay Street related to segregation caused by enclosures in public facilities and promoting community awareness in the neighborhood. The methodology included urban strategies, a collaborative web map, a digital fabrication kit, and a community-building process. The pedagogical experience within the urban innovation lab helped develop multiple competencies in students, linked to learning about architecture at various scales: from the city to urban furniture design. Methodologies such as PBL, service learning, collaborative learning, and "learning by doing" were applied.

El proyecto de innovación urbana en el que se sitúa esta experiencia abordó desafíos a través de un laboratorio urbano que involucró a estudiantes universitarios de varios grados. Se centró en dos objetivos principales: resolver problemas en la calle Perú-Paraguay relacionados con la segregación generada por los cerramientos en equipamientos públicos y fomentar la conciencia comunitaria en el barrio. La metodología incluyó estrategias urbanas, un mapa web colaborativo, un kit de fabricación digital y un proceso de construcción de comunidad. La experiencia pedagógica dentro del laboratorio de innovación urbana contribuyó a desarrollar múltiples competencias en los estudiantes, vinculadas al aprendizaje de la arquitectura en múltiples escalas: desde la ciudad hasta el diseño de mobiliario urbano. Se aplicaron metodologías como el ABP, APS, aprendizaje colaborativo y "learning by doing”.

Ekonomi Indonesia saat ini sedang mengalami perkembangan yang impresif, pertumbuhan ekonomi yang pesat juga berdampak pada munculnya berbagai model kejahatan yang digunakan oleh pelaku kejahatan untuk mencapai tujuan yang diinginkan. Salah satu kejahatan yang sering terjadi, ialah tindakan pencucian uang yang terkait dengan transaksi properti serta melibatkan Notaris dan PPAT. Tujuan penulisan akan isu hukum, berfokus untuk mengetahui bagaimana tanggung jawab Notaris dan PPAT dalam melaporkan tindak pencucian uang berdasarkan PP Pasal 3 No. 43 Tahun 2015, serta bagaimana keabsahan pembelian tanah dan/atau properti dari hasil tindak pidana pencucian uang dengan pendekatan konseptual dan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berkaitan dengan TPPU yang berlaku di Indonesia. Jenis penelitian terhadap permasalahan yang dikaji dan dibahas, ialah menggunakan metode normatif. Terdapat tiga model interpretasi digunakan untuk menganalisis bahan hukum, diantaranya interpretasi gramatikal, teologis, dan ekstensif. Notaris memiliki tanggung jawab untuk memberikan penjelasan hukum mengenai pembuatan akta, karena dengan adanya akta Notaris dapat menghindari terjadinya sengketa. Keabsahan pembelian tanah dan/atau dari hasil tindak pidana pencucian uang ialah tidak sah secara hukum, hal tersebut dikarenakan telah melanggar unsur yang disebutkan berdasarkan Pasal 1320 KUHPer. Untuk meningkatkan implementasi Undang-Undang dan Peraturan Pemerintah terkait TPPU, Notaris ditambahkan tanggung jawabnya dalam melaporkan transaksi keuangan yang mencurigakan. Dapat dijelaskan bahwa kewajiban yang harus dipatuhi oleh Notaris sesuai dengan Pasal 8 dari Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 43 Tahun 2015 mengenai palopran pihak pelapor dalam pencegahan dan pemberantasan TPPU.
