Becoming strategic spectators of organizational images: Olympic posters as antenarratives
Authors: Birdsell Jeffrey L.
Published: June 2023

Antenarratives are the building blocks of stories and exist before a story’s characters, setting, actions, plots or morals can be shared with a clear beginning, middle and end. Antenarratives are also what provide the potential for those elements to be combined into something recognized as a story. The posters produced by the International Olympic Committee commemorating the Olympic Games are an example of visual antenarratives. Scholars in a variety of disciplines have called for greater attention paid to organizational images and improved methodologies for analysing visual data. This essay reviews the development of antenarrative theory, applies that theory to specific artefacts, and invites scholars and teachers to deconstruct them as part of research or classroom instruction.
The Los Angeles 1984 Olympics: Using a logic model as a tool to understand soft power
Authors: Bourgeois Tiffany E.
Published: June 2023

This article argues that a logic model is an effective analytical tool to examine the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics as an exercise in soft power. Specifically, it uses a logic model as a guide to emphasize how the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics provided a structure to share values and culture with the intention to influence. Although this is not an evaluative inquiry, the evaluative framework lends itself to identifying the resources required for the creation of the opening ceremony and the formal presentation. For instance, a review of interurban competition (competition between cities or regions that attract economic activities), management and boycotts as inputs of the Los Angeles Games reveal the presentation of American culture and values during the Olympic opening ceremony. The purpose of this article is to implement a logic model as means for understanding the cultural programming of the Olympics by first identifying the unique inputs for the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics and analysing the visual presentation of the opening ceremony.

Published: June 2023

Acute hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in the United States of America (U.S.A) is low. However, seroprevalence rate is about of 6%. Most cases of HEV infection have been reported from travelers from endemic countries with poor sanitary conditions. Evidence of HEV as a zoonotic infection has been reported from developed countries from swine and wild animals including boar and deer. There is no reported case of direct transmission from wild game to humans in the U.S.A. We report a case of HEV from butchering of deer meat.
Arterial Pseudoaneurysm Mimicking a Mural Nodule Within a Pancreatic Cyst
Authors: Kalsi Harsimran , Jue Terry L. , Pannala Rahul
Published: June 2023

Pancreatic cysts with high-risk characteristics are at increased risk of harboring high-grade dysplasia or pancreatic cancer. Endoscopic ultrasound may clarify the nature of the cystic lesion and its malignant potential. A mural nodule found through endoscopic ultrasound within a cyst may represent malignancy and require fine-needle aspiration. Pancreatic pseudocysts are benign walled-off fluid collections that form in the setting of pancreatitis and may be difficult to differentiate from neoplastic cysts. Pseudoaneurysms form when pancreatitis inflammation damages vessel walls and can cause fatal hemorrhage. We present a pancreatic pseudocyst with pseudoaneurysm mimicking a neoplastic cyst with a mural nodule.

Nature as an Instrumental Cause in Proclus
Authors: Marinescu Rareș Ilie
Published: June 2023

In this paper I focus on Proclus’ concept of the instrumental cause in his commentary on the Timaeus (In Tim.). Unlike earlier Neoplatonists who do not make much use of this type of causality, Proclus relates the instrumental cause to the hypostasis of nature (φύσις). The Demiurge uses nature as an instrument in his ordering and creation of the cosmos. How does Proclus arrive at this understanding of nature? I argue that the definition of nature as an instrumental cause is in part based on his critical reception of Aristotle who identifies nature with the formal, efficient, and/or final cause. That is, Proclus did not develop his views on the causality of nature only by looking at the Timaeus (and other Platonic sources), but also by engaging with Aristotle’s rich – and, to a certain extent, authoritative – reflections on this issue.
La Chine, le Japon et l’« étoffe » de Perse
Authors: Niedermaier Jeffrey
Published: June 2023

Abstract in English

Pressing past the frameworks of the wa-kan (Japanese-Chinese) and sangoku (“the Three Kingdoms”), this essay explores a border-crossing “geopoetics” in order to espy distant “Persia” in the literary culture of classical Japan. In the “Picture Contest” midway through The Tale of Genji, an illustration supposedly set in far-off Persia is praised not for its exoticism but rather for its adroit synthesis of Japanese and Chinese pictorial elements. It turns out that the Persia made by Japanese persons around the beginning of the eleventh century is connected to the intermixing of all things Chinese and Japanese, especially when it comes to poetry. In other words, the stuff of this artificial Occident is laced through with these twin poetries from Asia’s easternmost extremities. We can see this interlacing in vernacular fictions, such as The Tale of the Tree Hollow (Utsubo monogatari), in which one of the protagonists is a Persian mage reincarnated in Japan obliged to recite passages in bilingual alternation, night by night, before the monarch. Elsewhere, academicians of Chinese “letters” exhibit their boundless knowledge of this “Far West” in such bilingual works as The New Man’yōshū (Shinsen man’yōshū) and The New Collection of Resonant Verse (Shinsen rōeishū). The latter presents itself as a learned sequel to The Collection of Japanese and Chinese Resonant Verse (Wakan rōeishū)—an emblem of the Heian period’s bilingual poetics which, in its turn, attracted the attention of monk-commentators who used the anthology to develop their Indo-Buddhist cosmo-cartography, including Persia. Persia, therefore, gets woven out of this mix of poetry in Chinese and Japanese—a mixed arrangement that enjoys an unparalleled display in the scrolls of the Collection of Resonant Verse. In its turn, The Collection itself begins to appear like an altogether “Persian” kind of terrain : a virtual terrain which belongs neither to China nor to Japan, but which is nonetheless made out of both.

Models of Jacobians of curves
Authors: Holmes David , Molcho Sam , Orecchia Giulio , Poiret Thibault
Published: June 2023

We show that the Jacobians of prestable curves over toroidal varieties always admit Néron models. These models are rarely quasi-compact or separated, but we also give a complete classification of quasi-compact separated group-models of such Jacobians. In particular, we show the existence of a maximal quasi-compact separated group model, which we call the saturated model, and has the extension property for all torsion sections. The Néron model and the saturated model coincide over a Dedekind base, so the saturated model gives an alternative generalization of the classical notion of Néron models to higher-dimensional bases; in the general case we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Néron model and saturated model to coincide. The key result, from which most others descend, is that the logarithmic Jacobian of [S. Molcho and J. Wise,
The logarithmic Picard group and its tropicalization,
preprint 2018] is a log Néron model of the Jacobian.

Published: June 2023

The biomedical literature is a vast and invaluable resource for biomedical research. Integrating knowledge from the literature with biomedical data can help biological studies and the clinical decision-making process. Efforts have been made to gather information from the biomedical literature and create biomedical knowledge bases, such as KEGG and Reactome. However, manual curation remains the primary method to retrieve accurate biomedical entities and relationships. Manual curation becomes increasingly challenging and costly as the volume of biomedical publications quickly grows. Fortunately, recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies offer the potential to automate the process of curating, updating, and integrating knowledge from the literature. Herein, we highlight the AI capabilities to aid in mining knowledge and building the knowledge base from the biomedical literature.
Working from home or back to the office? - The impact of the recent turbulence on office work
Authors: Grozdics Anett Tímea , Girán János , Uhrin Anett , Balogh Gábor , Cakó Balázs , Cselik Bence , Borsos Ágnes
Published: June 2023

THE AIMS OF THE PAPER
Previous studies have shown that office spaces are priority areas for research. The shocks of recent years, such as the pandemic, have radically changed the lives of office workers in particular, so researchers consider research related to office spaces increasingly relevant. This research aims to present a systematic literature review (SLR) on the relationship between turbulent times working from home (WFH) during the pandemic and outline the possibility of WFH during the pandemic and that the workers will continue to work in the home office.
METHODOLOGY
The study uses the method of systematic literature review to achieve the research goal. The process provides an opportunity to transparently collect empirical studies on the given research question. The research took place between 2021-2022, with 54 relevant literature items being included for processing.
MOST IMPORTANT RESULTS
Our results showed that working from home was and remained an industry-specific option. The competition for talent has intensified in recent years. Employers can get the most out of them, reconstruct their operations and determine what can be monitored remotely. Our results also show that the time, energy and cost of commuting to work are the second most influential motivational factors. In this way, the costs of the employers can also be reduced since they can optimize their office space in connection with the new work organization, thereby reducing their rent and overhead costs.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The literature review outlined that by adapting and rethinking the experiences during the pandemic, many organizations can organize their work processes more efficiently in the future in accordance with health regulations. Thanks to the shift towards a knowledge-based economy and the spread of Industry 4.0, remote work can be one of the decisive tools for curbing climate change.

Nine subjects (mean ± SD; age = 26 ± 3 years) performed a graded exercise test and 4 constant PO trials to exhaustion at 85–100% of peak PO (PP) to derive CHR and PCHR on a cycle ergometer. Responses were recorded during trials at CHR (173 ± 9 b·min−1, time to exhaustion [TLim] = 45.5 ± 20.2 minutes) and PCHR (198 ± 58 W, TLim = 21.0 ± 17.8 minutes) and normalized to their respective values at PP in 10% intervals. There were significant (p ≤ 0.05) mode (CHR vs. PCHR) × time (10%–100% TLim) interactions for all variables (p < 0.001–0.036) except MMG AMP (p > 0.05). Post hoc analyses indicated differences across time for CHR V̇o

2 (19 ± 5%), CHR RR (24 ± 23%), PCHR RR (45 ± 14%), CHR PO (−33 ± 11%), PCHR HR (22 ± 5%), CHR RPE (22 ± 14%), PCHR RPE (39 ± 6%), CHR %SmO2 (41 ± 33%), PCHR %SmO2 (−18 ± 40%), CHR EMG AMP (−13 ± 15%), PCHR EMG AMP (13 ± 13%), CHR EMG MPF (9 ± 8%), CHR MMG MPF (7 ± 11%), and PCHR MMG MPF (−3 ± 14%). The critical heart rate was more sustainable than PCHR but required adjustments in PO which traversed intensity domains and caused dissociations of the responses previously observed in exercise anchored to PO. These dissociations indicated the demands to exercise varied with anchoring scheme and provides an important consideration for practitioners prescribing endurance exercise.
Exploring Guilt Differences in Grandiose Narcissism, Vulnerable Narcissism, and Malignant Self-Regard

Published: June 2023

Narcissistic personality disorder is a heterogeneous and complex pathology which manifests itself very differently in individuals. The aim of the present study was to analyze differences and similarities in morality and sensitivity to feelings of guilt among grandiose narcissism (GN), vulnerable narcissism (VN), and malignant self-regard (MSR). We expected that MSR and VN would be most sensitive to deontological and altruistic guilt, and that MSR and VN would have higher levels of moral standards than GN. A nonclinical sample of 752 participants was evaluated. Results showed a significant association among MSR, VN, and GN. According to our hypothesis, GN turned out to be the one with the lowest association values to guilt measures. Our results demonstrated that MSR is strongly associated with all types of guilt, GN is associated with a substantial lack of guilt, and VN is associated with deontological guilt and self-hate, but not altruistic guilt. Results confirm the relevance of considering and understanding guilt when differentiating GN, VN, and MSR.
Late Onset Personality Disorders in Mid-Life and Older Adults
Authors: Dupree Jessica , South Susan C. , Oltmanns Thomas F.
Published: June 2023

There is little research on personality disorder (PD) onset in older age. Many studies have shown that normative personality traits change across the life span, even into later life. This study aimed to investigate the onset of PDs in later adulthood (>age 55), and the possible influence of major life events on predicting this late onset. The current analysis was conducted with data from the St. Louis Personality and Aging Network (SPAN). Structured diagnostic interviews were administered three times over five years. Logistic regressions were conducted predicting late onset PD from baseline to FU5 and from FU5 to FU10 as a function of each major life event. 75 PD onsets occurred from baseline to FU5, and 39 PD onsets occurred from FU5 to FU10. Personal illness predicted the onset of PDs from FU5 to FU10.
βII-Spectrin Is Required for Synaptic Positioning during Retinal Development
Authors: Goswami-Sewell Debalina , Bagnetto Caitlin , Gomez Cesiah C. , Anderson Joseph T. , Maheshwari Akash , Zuniga-Sanchez Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Neural circuit assembly is a multistep process where synaptic partners are often born at distinct developmental stages, and yet they must find each other and form precise synaptic connections with one another. This developmental process often relies on late-born neurons extending their processes to the appropriate layer to find and make synaptic connections to their early-born targets. The molecular mechanism responsible for the integration of late-born neurons into an emerging neural circuit remains unclear. Here, we uncovered a new role for the cytoskeletal protein βII-spectrin in properly positioning presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons to the developing synaptic layer. Loss of βII-spectrin disrupts retinal lamination, leads to synaptic connectivity defects, and results in impaired visual function in both male and female mice. Together, these findings highlight a new function of βII-spectrin in assembling neural circuits in the mouse outer retina.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeurons that assemble into a functional circuit are often integrated at different developmental time points. However, the molecular mechanism that guides the precise positioning of neuronal processes to the correct layer for synapse formation is relatively unknown. Here, we show a new role for the cytoskeletal scaffolding protein, βII-spectrin in the developing retina. βII-spectrin is required to position presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons to the nascent synaptic layer in the mouse outer retina. Loss of βII-spectrin disrupts positioning of neuronal processes, alters synaptic connectivity, and impairs visual function.
Lrrn1Regulates Medial Boundary Formation in the Developing Mouse Organ of Corti
Authors: Maunsell Helen R. , Ellis Kathryn , Kelley Matthew W. , Driver Elizabeth Carroll
Published: June 2023

One of the most striking aspects of the sensory epithelium of the mammalian cochlea, the organ of Corti (OC), is the presence of precise boundaries between sensory and nonsensory cells at its medial and lateral edges. A particular example of this precision is the single row of inner hair cells (IHCs) and associated supporting cells along the medial (neural) boundary. Despite the regularity of this boundary, the developmental processes and genetic factors that contribute to its specification are poorly understood. In this study we demonstrate thatLeucine Rich Repeat Neuronal 1(Lrrn1), which codes for a single-pass, transmembrane protein, is expressed before the development of the mouse organ of Corti in the row of cells that will form its medial border. Deletion ofLrrn1in mice of mixed sex leads to disruptions in boundary formation that manifest as ectopic inner hair cells and supporting cells. Genetic and pharmacological manipulations demonstrate thatLrrn1interacts with the Notch signaling pathway and strongly suggest that Lrrn1 normally acts to enhance Notch signaling across the medial boundary. This interaction is required to promote formation of the row of inner hair cells and suppress the conversion of adjacent nonsensory cells into hair cells and supporting cells. These results identify Lrrn1 as an important regulator of boundary formation and cellular patterning during development of the organ of Corti.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPatterning of the developing mammalian cochlea into distinct sensory and nonsensory regions and the specification of multiple different cell fates within those regions are critical for proper auditory function. Here, we report that the transmembrane protein Leucine Rich Repeat Neuronal 1 (LRRN1) is expressed along the sharp medial boundary between the single row of mechanosensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and adjacent nonsensory cells. Formation of this boundary is mediated in part by Notch signaling, and loss ofLrrn1leads to disruptions in boundary formation similar to those caused by a reduction in Notch activity, suggesting that LRRN1 likely acts to enhance Notch signaling. Greater understanding of sensory/nonsensory cell fate decisions in the cochlea will help inform the development of regenerative strategies aimed at restoring auditory function.
The Emergence of Tuning to Global Shape Properties of Radial Frequency Patterns in the Ventral Visual Pathway
Authors: Lawrence Samuel J. D. , Zamboni Elisa , Vernon Richard J. W. , Gouws André D. , Wade Alex R. , Morland Antony B.
Published: June 2023

Radial frequency (RF) patterns, created by sinusoidal modulations of a circle's radius, are processed globally when RF is low. These closed shapes therefore offer a useful way to interrogate the human visual system for global processing of curvature. RF patterns elicit greater responses than those to radial gratings in V4 and more anterior face-selective regions of the ventral visual pathway. This is largely consistent with work on nonhuman primates showing curvature processing emerges in V4, but is evident also higher up the ventral visual stream. Rather than contrasting RF patterns with other stimuli, we presented them at varied frequencies in a regimen that allowed tunings to RF to be derived from 8 human participants (3 female). We found tuning to low RF in lateral occipital areas and to some extent in V4. In a control experiment, we added a high-frequency ripple to the stimuli disrupting the local contour. Low-frequency tuning to these stimuli remained in the ventral visual stream, underscoring its role in global processing of shape curvature. We then used representational similarity analysis to show that, in lateral occipital areas, the neural representation was related to stimulus similarity, when it was computed with a model that captured how stimuli are perceived. We therefore show that global processing of shape curvature emerges in the ventral visual stream as early as V4, but is found more strongly in lateral occipital regions, which exhibit responses and representations that relate well to perception.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTWe show that tuning to low radial frequencies, known to engage global shape processing mechanisms, was localized to lateral occipital regions. When low-level stimulus properties were accounted for such tuning emerged in V4 and LO2 in addition to the object-selective region LO. We also documented representations of global shape properties in lateral occipital regions, and these representations were predicted well by a proxy of the perceptual difference between the stimuli.

Published: June 2023

Rare diseases affect over 400 million people worldwide and less than 5% of rare diseases have an approved treatment. Fortunately, the number of underlying disease etiologies is far less than the number of diseases, because many rare diseases share a common molecular etiology. Moreover, many of these shared molecular etiologies are therapeutically actionable. Grouping rare disease patients for clinical trials based on the underlying molecular etiology, rather than the traditional, symptom‐based definition of disease, has the potential to greatly increase the number of patients gaining access to clinical trials. Basket clinical trials based on a shared molecular drug target have become common in the field of oncology and have been accepted by regulatory agencies as a basis for drug approvals. Implementation of basket clinical trials in the field of rare diseases is seen by multiple stakeholders—patients, researchers, clinicians, industry, regulators, and funders—as a solution to accelerate the identification of new therapies and address patient's unmet needs.

Authors: Mohammed Umar Usmani , K. Muthusamy
Published: June 2023

In recent times, there has been growing interest in utilizing waste materials as coarse lightweight aggregates in the production of lightweight aggregate concrete. This approach has been gaining momentum as it has the potential to address the environmental concerns that come with conventional construction practices. The objective of this review paper is to evaluate the viability and potential of waste materials as coarse lightweight aggregates for producing lightweight aggregate concrete. This paper reviews the current research on various types of waste materials, including waste plastic, recycled concrete aggregate, slag, fly ash, and expanded polystyrene, as potential candidates for coarse lightweight aggregates. The paper highlights the properties and characteristics of these waste materials and their suitability for use as coarse lightweight aggregates. Additionally, the evaluation explores the mechanical characteristics of lightweight aggregate concrete that is generated using waste materials as coarse lightweight aggregates. Specifically, it compares the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity of lightweight aggregate concrete that includes waste materials with those of typical concrete. Furthermore, the paper discusses the sustainability benefits of using waste materials as coarse lightweight aggregates. By using waste materials in construction, not only are resources conserved, but waste is also diverted from landfills, reducing the negative impact on the environment. In conclusion, this review paper demonstrates that the use of waste material as coarse lightweight aggregate for lightweight aggregate concrete production is a viable and sustainable approach. The application of waste materials as coarse lightweight aggregates in lightweight aggregate concrete demonstrates mechanical characteristics that are similar to traditional concrete. Moreover, utilizing waste materials in this manner provides environmental advantages. This study offers valuable insights into the implementation of waste materials in construction, and it emphasizes the possibility of further exploration and advancement in this domain. For this review, a total of 15 articles were analyzed, with publication dates ranging from 2005 to 2021. The study contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 9/11/12/13) set by the United Nations such as providing insights into the role of industry, innovation, infrastructure, sustainable cities, responsible consumption, production practices, and climate action.

In recent years, there has been a significant trend toward data-driven enterprises in the business world. This trend is exemplified by the frustration reported by 74% of customers when they encounter ads that are not relevant to them, as reported by Infosys. This emphasizes the importance of personalization in marketing efforts. In order to effectively personalize marketing efforts, businesses often track and analyze the actions of consumers when they interact with websites or click on ads. However, creating completely personalized content for every individual is not practical due to the vast number of people and limited resources and time. In this study, a new approach has been used to segment customers based on the combination of RFM analysis and weighted k-means clustering to help an online retailer better target its customers. The results with weighted k-means are significantly higher with a silhouette score of 0.40 compared to 0.30 of the traditional k-means.

Authors: Atalay Hilay , Zeren Gülersoy Nuran
Published: June 2023

One of the main reasons for today’s urban problems is the disregarding of social sustainability in urban interventions and the lack of an approach that evaluates social sustainability with all its issues as a universal and holistic one. In this context, the aim of this study is to determine and categorize social sustainability criteria, objectives, and indicators to measure and to assess social sustainability for ensuring the sustainability of cities that could be used in all urban areas and applied in urban planning. Within this scope, social sustainability criteria, objectives, and indicators identified by international organizations and academic/scientific studies on different scales and in urban areas were evaluated systematically and analytically. A matrix has been generated according to the frequency of occurrence of social sustainability criteria and indicators. Although research studies focus on criteria and indicators according to scale, subject, and specified matters. It is a necessity to identify social sustainability criteria and indicators that can be used on every scale and in every urban area. Accordingly, ten criteria have been determined: population, accessibility, education and skills, health, housing, security, belonging, participation, social capital and social cohesion, urban life quality, satisfaction, and adequacy of services. Based on the criteria, targets, sub-targets, indicators, and indicator definitions for each criterion have been identified. However, the significance of each criterion is addressed, as well as the reasons for their necessity for social sustainability. This study proposes a universal, detailed, and holistic perspective for the measurement and assessment of social sustainability that enables the use of both quantitative and qualitative data together and envisages the use of mixed techniques in obtaining and evaluating data. In addition, criteria and indicator systems will be able to guide practitioners and policymakers to make decisions related to the social structure before and after the implementation of urban projects.

Published: June 2023

Urban green areas are open spaces in urban areas that are mainly covered by vegetation. They can be public or private urban green spaces that include parks, community gardens, forests, and nature reserves. Parks are an important component of urban quality of life if they are well designed and accessible. Accessible parks contribute to physical activity among urban residents. Therefore, the objective of the study was to identify the most significant main accessibility factors that discourage the use of public urban green areas, and examine the extent to which they influence the use of green areas in residential areas of the city of Erbil. This study was conducted in 2017 and 2020 to measure the accessibility of green spaces using network analysis with GIS for Erbil city. The present study represents the first known investigation regarding the accessibility of public green spaces within the city of Erbil. The results show that for community parks, 68% of the population has access with a travel time of 5 minutes, 99% of the population has access with a travel time of 10 minutes, and 100% of the population has access with a travel time of 15 minutes. For district parks, 70% of the population had access with 5 minute drive time. With 10-minute drive time, 96% of the population had access and 100% of the population had access with 15-minute drive time. For neighborhood parks, the results show that 43% of the population had access with 5-minute walk and, 71% of the population had access with 10-minute walk. At 15-minute walk time, 80% of Erbil residents had access to neighborhood parks. Mini parks were accessed by 22% of the population with a 5 minute walk and they were accessed by 52% of the population with a 10 minute walk. With a 15 minute walk, mini parks were accessible to 70% of the population.
Impact of Sustainability Transition in Moroccan Cities Identity: The Case of Benguerir
Authors: Rharbi Noussaiba , Demirkol Hatice Günseli
Published: June 2023

Whether internationally or in Morocco, the construction industry is one of the world's most energy-consuming industries. Nationally, this sector is estimated to account for 33% of total energy consumption. In addition, the construction industry is one of the highest producers of GHG emissions. For these reasons, Morocco has taken steps to reduce the sector's impact on the economy and the environment. That's why the green sustainable cities trend has started in the last decade. Globalization trends and efforts to keep the concept of sustainability alive in a concrete city have brought along many conflicting choices. Moroccan cities are known for their strong identities due to the long process of shaping these cities throughout history. But new sustainability trends seem to introduce new colors that can strip them of their identity. This article is a research paper for the arid climate city of Benguerir, located in the South, one of the green cities of Morocco. Green represents a challenging context for implementing sustainability. This study reveals the different parameters of sustainability in cities, how important urban identity is, and how it can be perceived and discusses the transition and identity changes of cities. The case study exemplifies the Moroccan context, the reason behind the need for Moroccan green cities, the efforts of the government, and the problems green Moroccan cities may face when trying to preserve their identity. Benguerir is an example that has achieved various sustainability parameters and represents the policies of Moroccan green cities. The city can also represent upcoming challenges for cities in a similar context.

This study discussed the deciphering of the architectural program, and the relevant concept of intermediate space within architectural production, and it questioned reprogramming through the concept of intermediate space. The study covered the Taşhan Street and neighboring locations in the Turkish city of Afyonkarahisar. It was based on assessing and discussing the existing programming and reprogramming dynamics in the Taşhan Region, which is functionally developed for craftsmanship, and contributes to the art and culture of the region. At the end of all these discussions, the program, 'depending on the venue and the user; It was defined as the 'sequence of frozen events occurring in moments' and the moments when these events occurred, their potential situations in places were revealed by reprogramming method. In the context of taking momentary sections in Taşhan Region; The methods of observation made in certain time periods (on weekends with high visitors, between 12:00 and 17:00, in the evening when the jazz festival is held) in the spaces in the region and interviewing with the users of the space were used to decipher the architectural program. Another scientific method used in the study is to make content analysis of the space theories put forward in the conceptual context and to reveal the evaluation criteria of the architectural program of the Tashan Region with the sub-concepts obtained within the framework of the text-based analysis method. While deciphering the architectural program, the conceptual analyses of the space theories proposed were conducted in parallel with the aim of the study, and the assessment criteria for the architectural program in the Taşhan Region were presented by using the sub-concepts revealed following the analyses. In conclusion, based on the momentary sections from the actions that occurred in the Taşhan Region, spatial flexibility in meeting needs to be increased and the relationship between users and spaces was enriched with reprogramming.

Published: June 2023

In this study, how landscape architecture students associate the traces of the past of a given site with their conceptual approaches and spatial components in the design process is discussed. Karagöz Square, located in the city center of Trabzon, has undergone dramatic and mostly negative changes from the past to the present in functional, visual and semantic terms. the area which is under urban transformation process in order to revitalize, to make it a part of urban life and in this context to regain its old functions has been given to students as the subject of design within the scope of Environmental Design Project IV course. Within the scope of this paper, how students investigated the past of design area and physical and social dimensions of collective memory, how they reflected on their conceptual approaches and main design decisions, and then through which spatial components and usage types these decisions were reflected on projects are determined and explained. In a design group of 9 students, 5 designs, conceptual approaches of which were based on the history of the city and the design area and traces left in collective memory were discussed in detail. As a result of the content analysis of the presentations and reports of the students it was determined that some students were inspired by the past functional (such as socialization) and semantic dimensions of the area (such as entertainment and play) or the physical components of the area (such as olive trees, amusement park-entertainment equipment). The other students were inspired by the historical features of the city of Trabzon (the empires of the past) or the traces of cultural features in the society such as Trabzonspor and determined their design approaches based on these. In line with these, spatial components and usage types-activities in the final products are detailed in this study. How collective memory can be a tool for determining conceptual approaches in landscape design is also discussed.
