Published: October 2024

As the oil and gas industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and align with global decarbonization goals, integrating renewable energy sources into offshore operations presents a promising pathway. This review examines the feasibility of incorporating renewable energy technologies such as offshore wind, solar, and marine energy into the power supply of oil and gas installations. Offshore wind energy, with its high potential and scalability, emerges as a viable option for powering rigs, as demonstrated by projects like Hywind Tampen in Norway, which uses floating wind turbines to supply energy to oil platforms. Solar energy, while more limited in offshore environments due to space and weather constraints, can be part of hybrid systems combining multiple renewable sources. Marine energy, including tidal and wave power, is still in its developmental stages but holds promise for future applications. The review explores hybrid energy systems that integrate renewable sources with conventional energy, such as gas turbines, to ensure continuous power supply. Microgrid technologies and energy storage solutions are also discussed as essential components for balancing renewable energy’s intermittency and optimizing power distribution. Key challenges, such as the harsh marine environment, high initial investment, and the need for new infrastructure, are analyzed alongside potential solutions like technological innovations in floating renewable systems and automated monitoring technologies. Economic feasibility is considered through a cost-benefit analysis, highlighting the potential long-term savings from reduced fuel use and the benefits of regulatory incentives for renewable energy integration. Ultimately, the integration of renewables not only supports decarbonization but also offers operational efficiency and cost reduction opportunities. This review concludes by examining future trends in renewable energy for offshore installations and the potential for fully electrified, sustainable oil and gas platforms.

This study investigated the lasting influence of British colonial architecture (129 years) on contemporary building design in Aden, Yemen. The initial focus was on the perception of British Neo-Classical architecture as a symbol of superiority, overshadowing Aden's rich architectural history. This research explored Aden's architectural transformation from pre-colonial to colonial periods, analyzing the impact of colonial-era building facades on modern design practices. Through observation and interviews with built environment professionals, the study examined the broader social, political, and economic effects of British colonialism. The findings reveal a significant influence of British colonial architecture on the design of building facades in Aden. This influence is evident in structures like the repurposed church on Crater Mountain, which now serves as a government building. The influx of British administrators, soldiers, and workers from diverse backgrounds (Indian, Somali, Jewish) during the colonial period contributed to Aden's architectural diversity by constructing churches, temples, and government buildings. Unfortunately, the ongoing war in Yemen has damaged or destroyed many of these structures. This study also found that classical architectural elements from British colonial buildings like the Military Museum in Crater, the Heritage Museum, and the Tax Office continue to influence modern design. These elements and the miniature Big Ben clock in Al-Tawahi stand as prominent symbols of British influence in Aden. However, the Yemeni government's restoration efforts for these colonial-era buildings have been slow and largely ineffective. The research further explored the enduring influence of Neo-classical architectural ideals in Aden. The study highlights the formal guidelines, specific modules, and proportions used in designing arches and columns, particularly in residential buildings. These elements contribute to the aesthetic qualities of these structures. While the British incorporated classical elements during their rule, architectural advancements and new materials have led to the incorporation of novel elements in contemporary design.

Authors: Khamdevi Muhammar , Sudradjat Iwan
Published: October 2024

The history of Indonesian traditional architecture has not yet addressed the history of architecture itself; instead, it has only addressed national and regional universal history as a backdrop or ancestry. Furthermore, the sources mainly relied on Western paradigm-adhering written documents and literature rather than empirical sources from a specific cultural community, particularly oral traditions. As a result, the significance of historical context for the evolution of Indonesian architecture has diminished somewhat. Indeed, anthropology, archaeology, and history have long used ethnohistory as a research methodology. Furthermore, traditional architecture has been mentioned in these studies. How does one go about researching the history of traditional architecture using ethnohistory?  The objectives of this research are to identify research trends on this topic as well as to discover novelty as a new direction for future studies. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) method to descriptively analyze a big dataset and examine the content of primary data selected from publications between 2013 and 2023. It indicates how very promising the research trend is for architecture science. Furthermore, this study develops three research focuses, approaches, implications and constraints in light of the data gathered and examined.

Eco-friendly architecture (EFA) is a design approach to produce healthy and comfortable buildings. In the pandemic era and in years to come when working from home is a trend, a healthy and comfortable home is crucial because people spend their time at home. Thermal comfort is considered the most significant comfort factor for building occupants, especially at home. This paper reports a study on the relationship between thermal comfort, individual performance, and productivity while working at home. Data was collected qualitatively through observation, heat transfer calculation, and in-depth interviews. This study concludes that a thermally comfortable house that follows the EFA concept is an aspect that influences performance and productivity. However, thermal comfort is not the only aspect related to comfort. Habits and adaptation of occupants to certain conditions also affect comfort, which leads to good performance and productivity. Occupants feel comfortable doing office and household tasks at home due to their adaptation to the surrounding thermal comfort based on their preferences.

Authors: Hariyanto Agus Dwi
Published: October 2024

Mount Semeru in East Java erupted on December 4, 2021, which resulted in dozens of residents in Lumajang Regency dying and thousands of residents fleeing. The government is programming the rehabilitation of infrastructure and facilities, including reconstructing temporary and permanent housing for refugees. The research location is in the refugee relocation area in Sumbermujur Village, Candipuro District. In post-disaster reconstruction programs, permanent housings are built after temporary housings have been occupied for several months. However, in Lumajang Regency, the government accelerated the construction of permanent housing so that the developer completed the permanent housing earlier than the temporary housing. Two types of residential units were built simultaneously on a plot of site by different developers, so problems arose in combining the different housing types. After conducting literature studies and general observations, the researcher selected five cases for further observation. The criteria and technical specifications for temporary units are stated in Lumajang Regent Regulation Number 1 of 2022. The construction of permanent units uses RISHA technology. The two types of housing are planned to be directly connected in integration. This paper aims to explain the implementation of the construction of temporary and permanent housing and identify problems in combining the two types of housing in one plot. Researchers found four categories of issues, namely: differences in floor height at the connection between two building units, door and window openings that do not function because they meet the wall, two areas of the roof that are not connected properly, and there are gaps in the connection between units.

Published: October 2024

The rapid development of tourism affects the quality of tourist attractions in several tourist destinations, including villages that are transforming into tourist villages. With the increasing increase of tourism operations in rural areas, the quality of life in tourist villages needs to be assessed to not exceed its carrying capacity. Only when the issue becomes worse have attempts been made to address excessive tourism thus far. Slums arise in rural locations, particularly in tourist communities, as a result of one of the quality reductions. By comparing the slum criteria with input from resource people in tourist villages regarding factors reducing carrying capacity in tourist villages, this study examines factors that may be threshold aspects for developing a village so that it does not become a village that exceeds its carrying capacity. There were three phases to this study's first review. The initial stage is a review of the literature to identify the causes of the decline in tourist communities. Secondly, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique survey of influential people in rural tourism was conducted to gather information for threshold-determining criteria. The last step involves comparing the rural slum parameters with the AHP results. Using the characteristics of rural slums, the comparison aims to generate an assessment of the threshold instrument for the development of tourism activities in rural regions. According to preliminary research, the slum criterion is an indicator that, when modified, could enhance the threshold instrument for building tourist villages.

The fala house is one of the traditional houses of the Abui tribe in Alor which is also known as a warehouse house. This building is ± 16 m high and consists of 4 floors with functions as a residence, barn, and storage area for heirlooms. This building's design and dimensions are also tailored to withstand the frequent high winds and earthquakes in the Alor region. To provide the Alor community as a whole with literature and a reference for creating disaster-resistant dwellings, this study intends to investigate the fala house construction system. An ethnographic design in conjunction with an exploratory description is the methodology employed to examine the Fala House's construction system. One of Takpala Village's thirteen fala homes serves as the research item. Purposive sampling was used to identify the home of the village chief, who served as the resource person, to choose this item. While secondary data was gathered through a review of the literature, primary data was acquired through close inspection and recording of the artifacts as well as technical information on workmanship and local names of fala house construction through interviews. According to research, the Fala house is built using a traditional method in which the main pillar is buried directly in the ground. The attic pillars that rest on the main beam are braced and connected to the building using a tie system. Because fala houses are built with a building method that can withstand shocks from earthquakes and severe winds, they have withstood a lengthy time of disaster adaptation and are still standing today.

Published: October 2024

The increasing request for space for private buildings was brought about by the utilization of the previous dumpsites. If the issue of leachate infiltration into the soil isn't legitimately controlled it'll lead to future harm in construction works. The objectives are to compare the geotechnical properties of soil of the contaminated and uncontaminated regions region of the dump site and evaluate if the effect of leachate on the geotechnical properties of soil changes with depth. Laboratory soil tests were conducted on the soil samples obtained and compared the effect of these leachates at the dump site. These methods are Natural water content, Bulk Density, Specific Gravity, Shear strength, and Consolidation tests. The soil samples were obtained from the contaminated region, and the uncontaminated region (i.e. at 100 m away from the dumpsite). All soil samples were obtained at depths 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.5m below the ground level, to know the effect of leachate on the soil at the dumpsite and also to know if the effects of leachate changes with depth as it goes down the soil. The results obtained show that samples at 0.5m and 1m depth have been affected by leachates but the effects are not so significant at 1.5m depth, thereby making the soil at depths 0.5m and 1m unfit for construction purposes. This result was useful to check the land requirement in urban areas and guide the geotechnical engineers when designing and constructing foundations for buildings and other related structures on these types of soils.

Authors: Bayir Tuba
Published: October 2024

The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial pattern of sericulture in Türkiye with spatial analysis approaches, taking into account the data of 81 provinces, by creating a database based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study employed data from the TURKSTAT, which included the amount of fresh cocoon produced and the silkworm egg boxes opened, between 2004-2022. In order to evaluate the relationship between the cocoon yield in each province and the cocoon yield in neighboring provinces, Moran's I measurements were made for the relevant time periods, and each period's Moran's I scatter plot was created. The Local Spatial Association Indicator (LISA) was used to assess the spatial structure of fresh cocoon yield. There was determined spatial clustering and a positive spatial association for cocoon yield, and all of the Moran's I values were found to be more than 0. The LISA maps were demonstrated the distinct local clustering patterns in the cocoon yield. More local clusters were identified (High-High or Low-Low) compared to local spatial outliers (High-Low or Low-High). High-High clusters were generally identified in the Marmara Region. Important implications have been obtained in terms of sustainability, such as how to take advantage of hotspot spillover effects and prioritize hotspot locations when allocating resources. As a result, spatial relations should be taken into account in the policies to be developed for sericulture and more activities should be carried out on sericulture.

1000-1200°C’de Bakır Bileşikleri ile Turkuaz Sır Araştırması
Authors: Uslu Ali
Published: October 2024

İnsanoğlunun varoluşundan bu yana seramik malzeme, biçim ve renk özellikleriyle ait olduğu dönemin sosyokültürel izlerini taşımaktadır. Kültürel bir inanışın göstergesi olarak ölümden sonra hayatı simgeleyen turkuaz, seramik yüzeyinde kullanımı ilk olarak Eski Mısır’da ortaya çıkmıştır. Sır bileşimine yapılan bakır minerali katkısıyla elde edilen turkuaz renkli seramikler, Eski Mısır seramiklerinin en önemli örneklerini oluşturmuşlardır. İslam kültüründe de ayrı bir öneme sahip olan turkuaz rengi, İslamiyet’in yaygın olduğu Orta Doğu ve Orta Asya (Anadolu, İran, Irak, Suriye ve Afganistan) coğrafyasında da kullanılmıştır. Anadolu’da Büyük Selçuklu İmparatorluğu’nun 12. yüzyılda inşa ettiği mimari yapılarda ve günlük kullanım seramiklerinde görülen turkuaz renk, tıpkı Eski Mısır’da olduğu gibi sembolik bir dilin ifade aracı olmuştur. İlk olarak Büyük Selçuklu İmparatorluğu ile Anadolu’da kullanılan turkuaz renk, akabinde Selçuklu Devleti ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun kullanımı ile günümüze kadar taşınmıştır. Bu araştırmada, seramik kültüründe karşımıza çıkan bakır bileşiklerle 1000-1200°C’de gelişen turkuaz renkli sırın tarihçesi, kullanılan hammaddeler, örnek reçeteleri ve eserlerinde yaygın olarak turkuaz renkli sır kullanan örnek seramik sanatçılarının araştırması yapılmıştır.

Published: October 2024

Bu makalenin amacı, Alessandro Baricco’nun Kent isimli eserinde simülakr ve simülasyon kavramlarının incelenmesidir. Simülakr ve simülasyon kavramları gerek günümüzde gerekse geçmişte oldukça önemli bir role sahip olmuş, birçok düşünürü ilgilendirmiş, birçok alanı kapsamış ve güncelliğini her daim sürdürmüştür. Bu sebeple makalenin giriş bölümünde başlıca Jean Baudrillard’ın simülakr ve simülasyon kavramlarına değinilecektir. Yaşadığımız çağda da simülakr ve simülasyon kavramları güncelliğini koruyarak değişimlerini sürdürmektedir. Bu iki kavramdan bahsedildiğinde akıllara bilimkurgu ve distopya türleri gelse de bundan çok daha fazla türü etkilemektedir. Edebiyat, felsefe, müzik gibi birçok alanla ilgilenen Alessandro Baricco, Çağdaş İtalyan Edebiyatının en önemli isimlerinden biridir ve eserleri birçok dile çevrilmiştir. Makalenin inceleme konusu olan Kent isimli eserinde de olduğu gibi Baricco, eserlerinde simülakr ve simülasyon kavramlarına yer vermiş ve tüketim, sanat, felsefe, edebiyat alanları ile bu kavramların nasıl harmanlanabileceğini göstermiştir. 1999 yılında yayımlanan Kent, günümüz toplumunun yaşantısını da öngörmüştür. Günümüzde simülakr ve simülasyonla dolu bir dünyada yaşıyor olduğumuz için üzerine çalışılabilecek önemli bir konudur ve bu makalenin konusu olarak seçilmesinin nedeni de budur.

The construction industry holds remarkable benchmarks of aptitude and creativity; however, it is among the most lethal industries when it comes to occupational health and safety (OHS). This study incorporates a detailed analysis of the key OHS issues within the construction sector with a special regard for developing countries such as Nigeria. The paper discusses different physical, chemical, biological, and psychological risks within the industry and highlights the importance of compliance with OHS requirements aimed at avoiding mishaps, incidents, and even fatalities. Moreover, it discusses the issues relating to poor training, funding limitations, and project pressures while highlighting the significance of maintaining a strong safety culture, workers' awareness, and compliance in enhancing OHS results. In addition to that, the review also examines current safety measures, identifies gaps, and suggests improvements, drawing on global best practices to inform future policies and strategies. This study serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, construction stakeholders, and employers to minimize health risks and optimize construction workers’ productivity and well-being.

Published: October 2024

Controlled release studies of sustained-release boluses are of critical importance as their application in ruminants has been varying from providing mineral and vitamin support to prevent the development of clinical problems such as hypocalcemia, ketosis, and others. This study examines both morphological and kinetic release of a sustained-release bolus and its performance study on Saanen goats. The bolus was studied by the means of continued flow rig which the artificial rumen saliva was pumped through with a flow rate of 3 mL/min. In addition to zero order kinetic, there was no crack or deformation observed through the immersion times but erosion was present. Field trials conducted with a number of 28 Saanen goats show that the treatment group is of higher multiple birth rates than the control group. No triple birth was observed on the control group. However, the rate of change in the body weight significantly increased in twins and triplets compared to the control group.
Energy efficient routing for improving lifetime in MWSN: A clustering approach
Authors: Dey Ranadeep , Thakurta Parag Kumar Guha
Published: October 2024

A Mobile wireless sensor network (MWSN) consists of mobile sensor nodes, which can be deployed in any specific environment, and due to its’ mobility it can perform with rapid topological transformations of a network. The sensor nodes having limited battery power are used to collect specific data and this raw data is sent to a static sink node of the network. Under such a scenario, to avoid frequent disconnections due to topological change in the network and can avail more reliable data transmissions in energy awareness perspective, an energy efficient routing protocol for MWSNs to improve its lifetime is proposed here by utilizing a clustering approach. A MWSN with random number of sensor nodes are initially considered and then, clustering algorithm K-means is used to determine a predefined number of clusters with their initial cluster heads (CHs) and centroid locations of these clusters is also determined. The role of these CHs is to elect our DDBLACH (distance to sink and cluster centroid with battery level aware cluster head) nodes from each cluster, by sending and receiving intra-cluster messages among other member sensor nodes. A DDBLACH node is determined by using three factors, such as minimum distance from cluster centroid location, minimum distance from sink and the maximum battery level of the node from each cluster. These DDBLACH nodes are used to collect data from intra-cluster sensors and thereafter, send those towards sink node for further processing using tree-based hierarchical routes. Finally, an energy efficient routing technique for MWSNs is proposed for data transmission from DDBLACH nodes of clusters to sink of the network. Simulation results indicate the superiority of our proposed scheme over other existing methods in various aspects, such as improving more data packet transmission by 14%-23%, presence of alive nodes and subsequently average network lifetime by 5%-24%.
