Published: August 2023

Choosing the proper fertilizer regime for a crop in a given location remains challenging to increase yield, profitability, environmental growth protection, and sustainability. However, the nutrient demand characteristics of cotton in the North China Plain are different at various growth stages. Therefore, we choose the local superior cotton variety (Lumian 532) with high yield as the material, in the present study, we assessed the cotton yield, biomass accumulation and distribution, nitrogen absorption and utilization efficiency, and other parameters by setting four nitrogen allocation ratios (3:5:2, 0:10:0, 3:7:0, and 0:7:3) when the nitrogen application rates were 0, 150, 220, and 300 kg hm−2. The results showed that when the nitrogen application rate was 300 kg hm−2, the growth index, biomass, nitrogen content, and yield of Lumian 532 were the highest, while the nitrogen partial productivity (12.2 and 12.8) was the lowest. When the nitrogen application rate was 220 kg hm−2 and the nitrogen allocation ratio was 3:5:2, the agronomic nitrogen use efficiency (3.2 and 3.5) and nitrogen physiological (24.8 and 25.0) was achieved. When the nitrogen application rate was 150 kg hm−2, the nitrogen partial productivity (20.6 and 20.9) was the highest. In conclusion, the biomass accumulation and distribution, nitrogen use efficiency, yield, and yield composition of Lumian 532 could be effectively regulated by appropriate nitrogen application rate and nitrogen allocation ratio. Therefore, to optimize the yield and improve the nitrogen use efficiency, the optimal nitrogen application rate of Lumian 532 was 220 kg hm−2, and the optimal nitrogen allocation ratio was 3:5:2 in the North China Plain. The results provided practical basis for nutrient demand, cotton yield and ecological protection in different growth stages of cotton in North China Plain.
Estimating Unconfined Aquifer Diffusivity Using 1D Phase Spectral Analysis: A Case Study in the Middle Reach of the Hutuo River, North China Plain

Published: August 2023

Aquifer diffusivity is a basic physical parameter used in hydrogeological calculations and is important for the evaluation and rational utilization of water resources, pollution prevention, and wetland protection. In this study, with the assumptions of aquifer isotropy, i.e., no vertical flow and constant saturated aquifer thickness, by using the Fourier transform and convolution theorem, a 1D analytical solution of the phase spectrum for an unconfined aquifer system was derived, which subsequently led to a phase spectrum solution for aquifer diffusivity. To test the efficacy, the proposed method was applied to a study site in the middle reach of the Hutuo River in the North China Plain. The estimated aquifer diffusivity ranged from 1.9 × 103 to 4.9 × 104 m2/d, with a mean of 2.2 × 104 m2/d, which was consistent with the results obtained using power spectral analysis, pumping tests, and inverse numerical models. The phase spectral approach proposed in this paper can estimate the aquifer properties on a larger scale. If long time series of hydraulic heads are available, it can estimate hydrogeological parameters accurately and quickly. Considering the similarity of the linearized governing equations, it can also be applied to the river–aquifer system and the confined aquifer system.

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analizar a utilização de práticas pedagógicas para trabalhar conteúdos de Educação Ambiental (EA) através da percepção das educadoras da educação Infantil em uma Escola do Município de São Luís (MA). Trata- se de um estudo de campo qualitativo, feito por meio de análise documental, entrevista e ação intervencionista. A análise dos dados foi feita por meio da técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo- DSC e realizada uma dinâmica de roda de conversa, leitura com estudo dirigido e discussão dos conteúdos para entendimento de como melhor ministrar os conteúdos de EA com os alunos de educação infantil e ensino fundamental. Como resultado após a análise do perfil sociodemográfico observou-se que todas as docentes eram do gênero feminino, pedagogas, faziam pós-graduação lato sensu e trabalhavam exclusivamente na escola. Percebe- se que há entendimento do que é Educação Ambiental, bem como a importância de se ministrar seus conteúdos, entretanto se observa uma dificuldade de sistematização, para que de fato a sua aplicação traga benefícios como a conscientização da comunidade escolar. Neste sentido foi realizado uma dinâmica com as docentes e através das discussões entendeu-se que a forma de projeto era a que melhor cabia se trabalhar os conteúdos de EA. A partir daí conclui-se que é necessário ações de capacitação continuada junto as professoras para que ocorra um melhor entendimento de como se deva trabalhar os conteúdos de maneira sistematizada, em forma de projetos e de maneira lúdica de forma a envolver os alunos na temática.
Chapitre V – Les industries acheuléennes et moustériennes
Authors: Vuillemey Marcel
Published: August 2023

L'importance archéologique de La Baume de Gigny est due principalement à un niveau attribuable à la phase finale du Paléolithique inférieur, scellé dans un plancher stalagmitique, et à une importante séquence moustérienne répartie dans les 6 m de remplissage du Würm moyen.

Le niveau acheuléen n'a livré qu'une trentaine de pièces dont quatre bifaces. Cette maigre série a surtout le mérite d'être la seule qui ait été trouvée en stratigraphie dans le Jura.

Le Paléolithique moyen est illustré par un Moustérien de faciès denticulé (niveau XVI) interstratifié au centre d'une séquence comportant quatre niveaux d'habitat, dont les industries homogènes appartiennent au Moustérien typique.

Le Moustérien à denticulés du niveau XVI s'intègre bien dans le schéma habituel du Moustérien de ce type, malgré un pourcentage tout à fait inhabituel de pointes pseudo-Levallois.

Les industries des niveaux XIX et XV (Moustérien typique) et celles des niveaux XX et VIII (Moustérien riche en racloirs) présentent une unité de style induit vraisemblablement par la survivance de solides traditions techniques qui appuieraient l'hypothèse d'une évolution en circuit fermé. Malgré les variations importantes de certains indices typologiques, la filiation possible entre ces divers Moustériens typiques paraît confirmée par la présence constante d'un outil burinant spécifique à ce site.

Ces industries à l'exception du Moustérien à denticulés n'ont pas d'homologues dans notre région ; elles se rattachent à la famille des Moustériens typiques riches en racloirs ou non du Sud-Est de la France, dans lesquels les bifaces et les outils caractéristiques du Charentien sont quasiment absents.

En el marco del septuagésimo aniversario de la revista Runa. Archivo para las Ciencias del Hombre, Claudia Briones reflexiona en esta entrevista sobre su trayectoria desde la Universidad de Buenos Aires hacia la Universidad Nacional de Río Negro, y los desafíos implicados en la creación de la carrera de Ciencias Antropológicas. Tomando como punto de partida cuatro artículos publicados en la revista entre 1985 y 2007 (dos de ellos en coautoría), repasa las articulaciones entre docencia, investigación, gestión y extensión. A partir de un itinerario intelectual que recorre preocupaciones y compromisos entrelazados con las luchas del Pueblo Mapuche-Tewelche, cuestiona los rótulos que cristalizan procesos y reflexiona sobre los desacuerdos que surgen en la convivencia, sobre las propuestas de los pueblos indígenas respecto a cómo ser juntos siendo otros —las cuales apuntan a la interexistencia, más que a la interculturalidad— y se pregunta por qué algunas de sus reivindicaciones políticas son inaudibles o invisibles, mientras que otras demandas son criminalizadas.

Authors: Fedorov S. A. , Zhurko S. A. , Shirokova O. R. , Radovsky V. V.
Published: August 2023

Objective: To describe a rare case of surgical treatment of aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma in combination with coronary artery bypass grafting.

   Clinical case: The patient was hospitalized with a suspected mass on the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve and complained of retrosternal pain that appeared during moderate exertion and brisk walking and went away with rest. The patient history revealed that these clinical manifestations began in February 2022 and were treated by coronary stenting. Since May 2022 the patient noticed symptoms of recurrent angina. Transthoracic echocardiogram dated June 14, 2022 revealed a 13 × 12 mm additional mobile mass on the left coronary cusp. On June 30, 2022 the patient had an open surgery: mass removal, coronary artery bypass grafting of the anterior descending artery, and coronary artery bypass grafting of the circumflex artery. During the aortic valve exploration, the mass was visualized on the left coronary cusp on the side of the left ventricle. The mass was removed by precision marginal excision.

   Conclusions: To timely examine patients, refer them for surgical treatment, preserve and prolong their life, and improve its quality, clinical practitioners should know clinical manifestations and challenges in screening for aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma.

Collaborative Community Practice: Evaluating Partnerships and Pedagogy
Authors:   University of Detroit Mercy, O'Leary Ceara
Published: August 2023

University-based community design centers are unique in their position within a network of both academic and community relationships. While design centers follow different models, this paper applies an evaluative framework to one university-based community design practice that centers teaching and collaborative professional projects. This paper will unpack how the Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC) operates within the School of Architecture (SOA) at the University of Detroit Mercy, offering educational oppor¬tunities for students to explore community-engaged design practice, as well as how the practice operates within a net¬work of community partners citywide on a range of projects and with an emphasis on collaboration. This paper seeks to identify and share outcomes associated with community design practice in terms of both student and community collaborator experience through an evolving evaluative practice. The paper includes perspectives from an evaluative framework currently under development and aims to illustrate and offer initial lessons for both the learning experience and collaborative design process. Overall, this research and paper aim to draw lessons from community design practice related to both pedagogy and partnerships, and where they intersect.
75 Ways to Confront Rapid Urban Growth in an Unincorporated Community
Authors:   University of Texas at San Antonio, Caine Ian
Published: August 2023

This case study analyzes a recent urban planning effort in the community of Comfort, Texas—which, like 90% of its neighbors in the Texas Hill Country—lacks a municipal government. The Texas Hill Country region is home to three of the ten fastest growing large counties in the United States, yet a widespread aversion to government fosters a lack of regulation that today threatens the local quality of air, water, and land. On November 3, 2015, 71% of Comfort residents voted against a proposition to incorporate their community. While the vote was clear in its rejection of municipal government, it did not suggest how a loose assortment of property owners, developers, non-profits, utility districts, and county officials might address the multiple and pressing challenges associated with rapid urban growth. Comfort Vision 2050 offers a plan tailored to the realities of life in an unincorporated community, establishing a novel approach to urban planning that is decentralized, non-governmental, incremental, actionable, coordinated, measurable, and transparent. The urban action plan specifically provides a list of 75 Strategic Initiatives that are small-scale, diverse, and possible to achieve without the benefit of municipal government. Collectively, the plan suggests a dispersed, distributed decision-making process that does not rely on a single organization or individual for success. This case study describes the efforts of a university-based community design center to develop a novel approach to urban planning in an unincorporated community. Ultimately, Comfort’s experience highlights the need to develop regional planning strategies that can address the needs of unincorporated communities, which after all need urban planning for all the same reasons that cities do: to prevent the fragmentation of local ecologies, maintain critical infrastructures, ensure access to housing, preserve physical and cultural his¬tory, attract and keep good jobs, expand critical services, facilitate civic discourse, and ensure timely decision-making.

Armatures for Inclusive Placekeeping
Authors:   University of Massachusetts Amherst, Brause Caryn , Krupczynski Joseph ,   University of Massachusetts Amherst
Published: August 2023

As community-based design projects and charrettes continue to play an increasing role in the discourse regarding public space, it is clear that the ideologies of inclusiveness that these participatory processes engender must be critically considered. Approaches that, on the surface, support community participation and engagement can run the gamut from top-down architects-know-best strategies to uncritical acquiescence to community desires. Developing a critical practice that works to contest conventional engagement processes requires the recognition that there is a dialectical relationship between social processes and spatial practices.

Published: August 2023

Our Design Action studio class is a collaborative space for students and community stakeholders to learn about one another and to acknowledge the need for public amenities and services in neighborhoods that the capitalist system has left wanting for investment. The projects that the students design using their own expertise and the mentorship of professional faculty are owned by the communities with which they are designed. This collaboration not only gives a form to the visions expressed by this community, but it also presents the users as experts with their own rights to the spaces that are developed, giving them agency and tools to discuss improvements with both the government and developers.

Designing “Complete Green Streets” for Multiple Benefits: Improving Equity, Increasing Safety, and Reducing Flooding Across the Multimodal Transportation Network
Authors:   University of Arizona, Cross Courtney
Published: August 2023

Transportation systems have historically been designed to move the greatest number of vehicles as efficiently as possible across a city from point to point. However, streets also rep¬resent roughly 70-90% of cities’ public open spaces (NACTO, 2020). In addition to being conduits, streets act as an impor¬tant amateur on which an array of public services can be built. Streets can be designed to provide multiple benefits across multiple modes of transit for aggregate network impact. The U.S. Department of Transportation defines the term Complete Streets as streets that enable “safe use and support mobility for all users (USDOT, 2020).” Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined by the Environmental Protection Agency as “reducing and treating stormwater at its source while deliv¬ering environmental, social, and economic benefits (EPA, 2020).” This paper integrates these two recognized concepts to design a “Complete Green Street” that reduced flooding for increased safety and equitable access while providing an array of community assets. Led through an University of Arizona upper-level design studio that was sponsored by the City of Tucson, the partnership used spatial mapping, quantitative analysis, hydrological modeling, and design inquiry to create a six-mile bicycle boulevard that is slated to be constructed from the northern to southern city limits, passing through the largest municipal park. This paper starts with a review of recent complete street, flood modeling, and GI literature. Then, research methods are outlined. Results are discussed for a set of four Complete Green Street prototypes: crowned streets, inverted crowned streets, curbed streets, and naked streets. Each of these four Complete Green Street prototypes were designed with a set of corresponding GI kit-of-parts based on the greatest flood reductions modeled for each condition. Based on the hydro¬logical modeling performance results for these prototypical designs across the 6-mile bicycle boulevard, this research concluded that the greatest potential impacts for flood reduction were in locations with the largest existing right-of-way and moderate flooding levels. This paper argues that by working across disciplines and departments, new typologies for place-specific, multi-benefit street designs can be created and implemented. Complete Green Street design can expand multimodal accessibility and safety through flood reduction and increased community assets.
Owen Luder’s Town Centres of the 1960’s: An Alternative Architectural Project on the City
Authors:   Oklahoma State University, MACKEN JARED
Published: August 2023

This paper uncovers an alternative postwar architectural project on the city—British town centres of the 1960’s, and an accompanying overlooked architectural discourse. A new examination of this lost typology works to recuperate the town centre, including its specific history and projects, into a broader architectural discourse related to the city. In the late 1940’s, English towns and cities were dotted with urban voids created by an assortment of causes: from planned urban razing, post-war economic hardship, and most notably a result of World War II bombing raids. These voids had once been a rich fabric of diverse urban programs includ¬ing an assortment of storefront shopping, offices spaces, schools, restaurants, cafes, and housing. Town centre proj¬ects in the 1960’s provided a new architectural typology that was packed with these programs, perfect for refilling these devastated voids. They were built within a perfect storm of conditions: a shift in land-use policy away from early postwar rebuilding efforts focused on schools and housing and towards commercial development; the availability of newly acquired disposable incomes in a domestic postwar economy; and an economic boom that involved relationships between developers and architects, both eager to invest in speculative projects that experimented with new methods for rebuilding these city centres. Town centres were characterized by their scale—larger than a single building but smaller than a city—making them distinctly different than masterplans, megastructures, and urban plans. In terms of form and program, town centres could be described as miniature cities, comprised of a mix¬ture of uses housed in aggregated yet unified forms. Given their programmatic characteristics and their scale, town centres were distinctly contextual and were always inserted into these existing city voids. The goal of these projects was to supplement, never supplant, existing economic, cultural, and morphological urban systems, while many times fitting nicely within single urban blocks. This paper will feature case studies by the most prolific town centre builder of England from the 1960’s, Owen Luder, will explore how he subverted mainstream discourse on the city from this time period, and in turn, provide new design methodologies for the 21st century city. It will also relate him to a legacy of town centre projects in England, and insert this typology within 20th century architectural dis¬course on the city.

Automatic author profiling and verification
Authors:   , Ikae Catherine
Published: August 2023

This thesis mostly discusses the style-based text categorization problem, where the objective is to identify the author’s demographics, such as gender, age range, and language variety, based on a set of texts. Also to determine whether two writings (chat, threatening e-mail, doubtful testimony, essays, text messages, business memos, fanfiction texts) were authored by the same person by contrasting the writing styles of the two texts by applying the vector difference text representation. We also create a stable and straightforward paradigm for feature reduction iteratively. This reduction will result to a more explainable decision. We begin by assessing the effectiveness of several machine learning models using the complete vocabulary. The two-step feature selection technique is then used to design a feature reduction strategy. After testing the models with these reduced features, we were able to examine how the performance variation would appear in the two scenarios. We went on to test further feature reduction by applying 2 and PMI scoring functions to select the top 300 features. With the use of several CLEF-PAN datasets, we test our models, and we can see that Extra Trees, Random Forest, or Gradient Boost often produce the best results. Furthermore, empirical evidence reveals that the feature set can be effectively condensed using 2 and PMI scoring methods to about 300 features without compromising performance. Additionally, we can see that by discarding non informative features, decreasing the text feature representation not only cuts down on runtime but also improves performance in some cases. With the difference vector text representation approach we demonstrate how utilization of confidencebased approaches can benefit classification accuracy in the author verification. We can see that small differences in vectorial representation indicates higher similarity, but documents with a large differences are not authored by the same writer. Several performance measures are obtained including accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), c@1 and Final Score (FS). Our research shows a strong correlation between all performance with measurements FS and AUC having the strongest correlation. We take into account only the accuracy to draw conclusion about the different text representation methods. Our experiments therefore show that the best scoring model include TFIDF feature set since it considers both occurrence frequency and the distribution of terms across the collection.
Recursos educacionais e multimodalidade na construção de significados em aulas de Estereoquímica do Ensino Superior
Authors: Oliveira Leandro
Published: August 2023

Neste trabalho, analisamos aspectos da ação performática de duas professoras de Química Orgânica de uma universidade federal, em termos de uso de modos semióticos (por exemplo fala, gestos, proxêmica e olhar) e recursos educacionais (como representações em quadro e tela e modelos moleculares 3D). Os dados foram coletados a partir da videogravação de aulas das professoras, ministradas a graduandos em Química (Licenciatura, Bacharel e Tecnológica). Para a análise, selecionamos as aulas nas quais elas ensinavam Estereoquímica e identificamos, caracterizamos e analisamos os modos semióticos e os recursos educacionais que elas utilizaram para explicar a “regra do giro”. Como alguns resultados principais, observamos que o uso de modos semióticos pelas professoras era idiossincrático e influenciado pelo recurso educacional escolhido para ensinar. Além disso, observamos que rotas de ação com recursos e modos possibilitaram diferentes maneiras de construir significados. Assim, tecemos considerações sobre a importância de professores explorarem as possibilidades que os modos semióticos e os recursos educacionais apresentam na construção de significados em aulas de Química do Ensino Superior.
Aparições da morte em Kantor e Rimini Protokoll

Published: August 2023

Parte-se da noção de morte proposta por Kantor através de objetos inanimados e da memória, para perceber alguma forma de vida no teatro quando o ator aparece no palco. Numa aproximação com a Cia. Rimini Protokoll e este período em que vivemos cercados pelo medo e pela solidão, pela falta de encontro, a morte exige um papel não só na vida, mas nas artes: a morte está sempre a rondá-las, constituindo não apenas aspectos conceituais da sua estética na evolução da teoria teatral, mas também influências que promovem a sua discussão sobre a perda e a interrupção da vida como tema para a encenação.
Outras encruzas para a arte pública
Authors: Wasem Marcelo Simon
Published: August 2023

O artigo busca ampliar as maneiras como o campo da arte pública vem sendo pensada nas últimas duas décadas em solo nacional. Geralmente o debate acontece através de bibliografias estrangeiras, com exemplos de projetos artísticos que acontecem em um tipo de espaço público diferente do que encontramos no Brasil. Por um lado, a ideia de nação apresenta marcadores da colonização ainda muito presentes (branquitude, sexismo, cisgeneridade, heteronormatividade), que buscam aniquilar as diferenças, mas que estão em colapso. Por outro, as cosmovisões ameríndias e afrodiaspóricas presentes neste território podem trazer outras perspectivas e caminhos para enveredar esta encruzilhada em novas direções. Aprender com as trans, nas lutas interseccionais, com as ensinagens dos terreiros, na cultura Queer/Cuir, com a circularidade das diversas rodas, para poder rever conceitos como site specific ou community based-art. Por fim, é relatado brevemente um processo de ensinagem com a mestra Japira Pataxó nas aulas dos cursos de Artes da UFSB, em Porto Seguro, Bahia.

The purpose of research on design thinking and the design process is to analyze the source of designers' innovation ability and find out the rules of design behavior and the key factors affecting design practice. Sketching is one of the most important activities in design practice, and the process of sketching is inseparable from creativity. In design modeling, the sketch thinking of designers, that is, "drawing graphics to help thinking", is the description of sketch behavior from the perspective of cognition. Based on the sketch ideas obtained by designers in modeling design, we analyzed the design process to find commonalities and differences in the sketch ideas of novice designers. Two subjects were selected to sketch for 30 min each, and the whole design process was recorded. We used linkography to identify the behaviors of the designers in sketching as design moves and links. At last, we built linkographs to present the process of designers identifying shapes from fuzzy sketches to new ideas. Based on the similarities and differences in the sketch ideas between designers, we provided suggestions and considerations to improve design methods and support creative design for novice designers.
