Authors: Vidakovic Predrag , Damjanov Nemanja
Published: March 2018

Background/Aim. Hand impairment in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients is the most frequent manifestation of this progressive disease and often cause problems in daily activities and working ability. The correlation of altered hand functions in patients with SSc and their impact on working ability is not fully explained. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of altered hand functions of patients with SSc on their working ability. Methods. We assessed 20 patients with SSc (17 females, 3 males), with mean age of 45.5 ? 11.9 years (min 29, max 69, Med 44.0 years). The movements of fingers, wrist and forearm were examined by measuring active range of motion of the hand and fingers, muscle strength of the fingers, the skin lesions by modified Rodnan score, the function of the fingers, hands and forearms by the Hand Mobility in Scleroderma (HAMIS) test, as well as the condition of the capillaries in the fingers by capillaroscopy and working capacity by Work Ability Index (WAI). Results. Reduced strength on at least one tested muscle, was established in all patients, thickening of the skin on the hands in 14/20 (70%) and the fingers in 19/20 (95%), ?scleroderma type? capillary changes in 15/17 (85%), decreased range of motion in finger joints in 16/20 (80%) of the patients. Also, 14/20 (70%) of subjects reported problems at work [decrease performance achieved in 8/20 (40%), reduction of working hours in also 8/20 (40%), leaving out some of the work in 14/20 (70%), and investing of extra effort in 15/20 (75%)]. By means of WAI, work ability assessment questionnaire, it was found that the working capacity was reduced in 11/20 (55%) of our patients. None of the patients was in the group of the most serious cases, the ?poor? category; in the ?moderate? category there were 6/20 (30%), while 5/20 (25%) of the patients were in the group with minimally reduced working capacity (?good? category). There was a statistically significant correlation between the thickened skin on the fingers (p < 0.05), reduced muscle strength in the fingers (p < 0.002) and limited mobility of the individual finger joints (p < 0.05), with information on reduced working capacity obtained by means of WAI questionnaire and with answers to questions about problems at work. Conclusion. The thickened skin on the fingers, reduced fingers muscle strength and limited mobility of certain finger joints in patients with SSc cause decreasing working capacity for all jobs that include manual activities.

Published: March 2018

Background/Aim. Doppler sonography of fetal middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) can be used to predict fetal anemia and the need for in utero intravascular transfusion (IUIT) in red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunisation pregnancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether measurement of MCA-PSV in fetuses that had undergone one to three transfusions is a good diagnostic tool for fetal anemia. Methods. Study included 36 pregnancies treated due to RBC alloimmunisation in our tertiary referral center during the 5-year period (2012?2017). We measured MCA-PSV and hematocrit (Hct) in all patients. In seven pregnancies there was a need to perform sequential IUITs for correction of fetal anemia. In these patients we compared MCA-PSV and Hct values before and after every transfusion. Results. Hct and MCA-PSV correlated negatively before transfusion therapy (p = 0.035) and after the second transfusion (p = 0.046). Contrary, after the first (p = 0.954), before the second (p = 0.738), as well as before (p = 0.092) and after (p = 0,741) the third transfusions there were no significant correlations between Hct and MCAPSV values. Hct values before and after transfusions were positively associated (p = 0.001), but MCA-PSV were not (p = 0.296). According to performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis the cut-off point of MCA-PSV for investigated patients was 1.22 multiples of its median (MoM). Conclusion. There is a reduction in MCA-PSV accuracy for assessing fetal anemia in previously transfused fetuses. Larger studies are needed to explain the reasons for these findings and potentially set new referral values of MCA-PSV for better diagnostics of fetal anemia.

Authors: Mishra Poonam , Talati Isha
Published: March 2018

Due to uncertainty in economy, business players examine different ways to ensure the survival and growth in the competitive atmosphere. In this scenario, the use of effective promotional tool and co-ordination among players enhance supply chain profit. The proposed model deals with the effect of quantity discount on an integrated inventory system for constantly deteriorating items with fix life time. We use advertisement and quantity discount to accelerate stock dependent demand and further, the offered preservation technology for controlling deterioration rate. The model is validated numerically, and the sensitivity analysis for critical supply chain parameters is carried out. The results can be used in the decision making process of the supply chains associated with the supply of cosmetic, tinned food, drugs, and other FMCGs.

Authors: Yanto Robi
Published: March 2018

Objek wisata adalah perwujudan dari ciptaan manusia, tata hidup, seni budaya serta sejarah bangsa dan tempat keadaan alam yang mempunyai daya tarik untuk dikunjungi. Potensi objek wisata yang ada di Kota Lubuklinggau saat ini belum dikelola secara maksimal, sehingga keberadaan objek wisata belum mendapatkan respon positif dari wisatawan yang berkunjung. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari menurunnya jumlah wisatawan yang berkunjung setiap tahunnya. Salah satu faktor menurunnya jumlah wisatawan yang berkunjung adalah sumber daya objek wisata yang kurang memadai. Untuk dapat meningkatkan jumlah wisatawan yang berkunjung tentunya dibutuhkan sistem pendukung keputusan peningkatan kualitas objek wisata. Dimana kriteria yang digunakan berdasarkan hasil wawancara di Dinas Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata yaitu daya tarik, aksesibilitas, akomodasi dan sarana pendukung. Sistem pendukung keputusan ini menerapkan metode Analitical Hierarchy Process dengan software pengujian expert choice. Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan agar dapat mengurangi penilaian secara subyektif terhadap peningkatan kualitas objek, sehingga menghasilkan sistem penilaian yang tepat dan objektif terhadap objek wisata yang akan dikembangkan.Tourist attraction is the embodiment of human creation, lifestyle, art of culture and history of the nation and place of nature that has the attraction to visit. Potential tourist attraction in the city of Lubuklinggau is currently not managed optimally, so the existence of the attraction has not received a positive response from tourists who visit. This can be seen from the decreasing number of tourists who visit each year. One factor of the declining number of tourists visiting is the inadequate tourist attraction resources. To be able to increase the number of tourists visiting the course required a decision support system to improve the quality of tourist attractions. Where the criteria used based on the results of interviews at the Department of Culture and Tourism of attraction, accessibility, accommodation and supporting facilities. This decision support system applies Analytical Hierarchy Process method with expert choice test software.

OBJECTIVE To describe rabies and rabies-related events occurring during 2016 in the United States.

DESIGN Observational study based on passive surveillance data.

ANIMALS All animals submitted for rabies testing in the United States during 2016.

PROCEDURES State and territorial public health programs provided data on animals submitted for rabies testing in 2016. Data were analyzed temporally and geographically to assess trends in domestic and sylvatic animal rabies cases.

RESULTS During 2016, 50 states and Puerto Rico reported 4,910 rabid animals to the CDC, representing a 10.9% decrease from the 5,508 rabid animals reported in 2015. Of the 4,910 cases of animal rabies, 4,487 (91.4%) involved wildlife. Relative contributions by the major animal groups were as follows: 1,646 (33.5%) bats, 1,403 (28.6%) raccoons, 1,031 (21.0%) skunks, 313 (6.4%) foxes, 257 (5.2%) cats, 70 (1.4%) cattle, and 58 (1.2%) dogs. There was a 4.6% decrease in the number of samples submitted for testing in 2016, compared with the number submitted in 2015. No human rabies deaths were reported in 2016.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Laboratory testing of animals suspected to be rabid remains a critical public health function and continues to be a cost-effective method to directly influence human rabies postexposure prophylaxis recommendations.

Published: March 2018

OBJECTIVE To compare duration of surgery, recurrence rate, and survival time between cats with idiopathic chylothorax treated with thoracic duct ligation (TDL) plus subphrenic pericardiectomy (SPC) and those treated with TDL, SPC, and cisterna chyli ablation (CCA).

DESIGN Retrospective case series with nested cohort study.

ANIMALS 22 client-owned cats surgically treated for idiopathic chylothorax from 2009 through 2014.

PROCEDURES Patient and surgery data were collected from the medical records. Recurrence of chylothorax and survival time were assessed by medical record review and client interview. Comparisons were made between cats treated with TDL plus SPC (TDL-SPC group) and those treated with TDL, SPC, and CCA (TDL-SPC-CCA group).

RESULTS 15 cats were treated with TDL plus SPC, and 7 were treated with TDL, SPC, and CCA. Median duration of surgery was significantly briefer for the TDL-SPC group (80 minutes; range, 55 to 175 minutes) than for the TDL-SPC-CCA group (125 minutes; range, 105 to 205 minutes). Five cats (2 in the TDL-SPC group and 3 in the TDL-SPC-CCA group) had persistent pleural effusion 4 weeks after surgery. Chylothorax recurred in 2 cats (1/group). Median survival time in the TDL-SPC group was 774 days (range, 3 to 2,844 days) and in the TDL-SPC-CCA group was 380 days (range, 11 to 815 days); these values did not differ significantly.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Addition of CCA to the surgical treatment approach for cats with idiopathic chylothorax was associated with a significantly longer duration of surgery with no better outcome than achieved with TDL plus SPC alone.
PRELIMINARY STUDY ON BURIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HARINGEN
Authors: Kusmartono Vida Pervaya Rusianti
Published: March 2018

The archaeological remains discovered in a site reflect past human behavior attemptingto adjust oneself with ones surrounding environment. Thus, there should have been a closerelationship between choosing a prospective activity location and humans strategy to fulfill onesbasic needs. Among the sites in the central region of Kalimantan, which indicate the potency todepict the occurrence of a persisting religious-based-tradition of past civilization, is Haringen. Untilnow, one of the traditions which still show the continuity of old culture is burial. In regard to thisresearch, the effort to identify the characteristics of Haringen burial was carried out by using ethnoarchaeologicalapproach. Based on analogical analysis on ethnographic data of the Maanyancommunities who reside in Haringen today, the discussion was foussed on past human behavior inHaringen concerning death management, both involving tangible and intangible features. Therefore,I assume the Haringen burial characteristic is an implementation of the concept of Kaharinganbelief, which is principally, founded from religious concepts occurred in prehistoric period; a periodwhen the concept of ancestor worship was initially developed and elaborated with the concept ofaxis mundi, which is materialized in form of terraced structures.

Published: March 2018

Abstrak. Tulisan ini membahas perkembangan kebudayaan Banjar yang ditinjau dari peranan mantra. Mantraadalah rangkaian kata yang diucapkan untuk melakukan praktek magis. Mantra Banjar tumbuh dan berkembangdi wilayah tenggara Kalimantan. Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan mantra Banjar sejalan dengan perkembanganpendukungnya, yaitu masyarakat Banjar. Pada awalnya, mantra Banjar lahir dari karya seni ciptaan leluhurimajinatif Banjar yang percaya pada animisme atau kepercayaan Kaharingan. Kedatangan komunitas Jawa danMalayu yang berlatar ideologis Siva-Buddha membawa warna baru untuk mantra. Kemudian, ketika Islamdatang, agama baru ini menolak semua jenis mantra, penolakan ini mempengaruhi keberadaan mantra Banjar.Akibatnya, praktek ritual dengan mantra Banjar menurun, karena Islam mencapai popularitas yang luas. Namun,ternyata ada pula kesengajaan untuk menyembunyikan mantra untuk menjaga efek sakral dari mantra.Bagaimanapun, mantra tidak benar-benar menghilang. Sebagai warisan budaya Banjar, mantra masih menjadibagian dari kehidupan mereka, mantra hidup dan tumbuh di antara orang-orang sampai hari ini.
Modelling of Graph Databases
Authors: Pokorny Jaroslav
Published: March 2018

Comparing graph databases with traditional,e.g., relational databases, some important database features are often missing there. Particularly, a graph database schema including integrity constraints is mostly not explicitly defined, also a conceptual modelling is not used. It is hard to check a consistency of the graph database, because almost no integrity constraints are defined or only their very simple representatives can be specified. In the paper, we discuss these issues and present current possibilities and challenges in graph database modelling. We focus also on integrity constraints modelling and propose functional dependencies between entity types, which reminds modelling functional dependencies known from relational databases. We show a number of examples of often cited GDBMSs and their approach to database schemas and ICs specification. Also a conceptual level of a graph database design is considered. We propose a sufficient conceptual model based on a binary variant of the ER model and show its relationship to a graph database model, i.e. a mapping conceptual schemas to database schemas. An alternative based on the conceptual functions called attributes is presented.  This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Fusing Detected Humans in Multiple Perception Sensors Network
Authors: Tran Hoang Quang Minh , Le Anh Vu
Published: March 2018

A fusion method is proposed to keep a correct number of humans from all humans detected by the robot operating system based perception sensor network (PSN) which includes multiple partially overlapped field of view (FOV) Kinects. To this end, the fusion rules are based on the parallel and orthogonal configurations of Kinects in PSN system. For the parallel configuration, the system will decide whether the detected humans staying in FOV of single Kinect or in overlapped FOV of multiple Kinects by evaluating the angles formed between their locations and Kinect original point on top view (x, z plane) of 3D coordination. Then, basing on the angles, the PSN system will keep the person stay in only one FOV or keep the one with biggest ROI if they stay in overlapped FOV of Kinects. In the case of Kinects with orthogonal configuration, 3D Euclidian distances between detected humans are used to determine the group of humans supported to be same human but detected by different Kinects. Then the system, keep the human with a bigger region of interest (ROI) among this group. The experimental results demonstrate the outperforming of the proposed method in various scenarios.  This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

CV Menoreh Politan is one of sugar coconut companies in Kalibuko, Kokap, Kulon Progo Regency Yogyakarta. Some of its coconut sugar products are sent to various regions in Indonesia, and some others are occasionally exported. The company, however, had encountered some constraints both in supply and product fulfillment. This research was,  therefore, aimed at studying the efficiency of performance at CV Menoreh Politan. The input variables used were order fulfillment cycle, supply chain flexibility, total supply chain cost, cash to cash cycle time, and daily inventory, while input variables for output of supply chain performance were delivery performance, order fulfillment, and conformity with standard. The efficiency of coconut sugar supply chain performance is analyzed by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with constant return to scale (CRS) assumption.  Analysis of farmer efficiency by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) resulted in farmer efficiency level. CV Menoreh Politan has operated efficiently with its 14 partners (24.14 percent), while the remaining 44 farmers of CV Menoreh Politan (75.86 percent) have not reached the maximum efficiency level. The inefficiency of farmers was largely due to the cost of supply chains and long-term enterprise turnover. Overall, the collectors have been fully operational. Similarly, the company has been technically efficient, meaning that in terms of input and output, it has been good.

Kehamilan menyebabkan banyak perubahan pada tubuh ibu. Perubahan-perubahan itu untuk menyesuaikan tubuh ibu pada keadaan kehamilannya (Ratna, 2010). Perubahan tersebut sebagian besar adalah karena pengaruh hormon, yaitu peningkatan hormon estrogen dan progesteron. Segera setelah terjadi peningkatan hormon estrogen dan progesteron dalam tubuh, maka akan muncul berbagai macam ketidaknyamanan secara fisiologis pada ibu misalnya mual muntah, keletihan, dan pembesaran pada payudara. (Hani,dkk 2011). Emesis gravidarum ini menyebabkan menurunan nafsu makan sehingga terdapat perubahan keseimbangan elektrolit dengan kalium, kalsium dan natrium yang menyebabkan perubahan metabolisme tubuh (Neil & Nelson, 2006). Menurut Supriyanto (2009), 50-90% wanita hamil mengalami mual pada trimester pertama dan sekitar 25% wanita hamil mengalami masalah mual muntah memerlukan waktu untuk beristirahat dari pekerjaannya (Smith, dkk, 2009).

Size Tunable Synthesis and Surface Chemistry of Metastable TiO2-Bronze Nanocrystals
Authors: Billet Jonas , Dujardin Wouter , Keukeleere Katrien De , Buysser Klaartje De , De Roo Jonathan , Driessche Isabel Van
Published: March 2018

The metastable titania phase, bronze, has great potential as photo-catalyst or as anode material in Li-ion batteries. Here, we report the first synthesis of colloidally stable, size-tunable TiO2-bronze (TiO2-B) nanocrystals, via a hydrothermal process. By employing Definitive Screening Design, the experimental parameters affecting the size and agglomeration of the nanocrystals are identified. The size is mostly determined by the reaction temperature, resulting in 3 – 8 nm NCs in the range of 130 °C – 180 °C. To avoid irreversible aggregation, short reaction times are desired and in this respect microwave heating proved essential due to its fast heating and cooling rates. The resulting nanocrystals are de-aggregated and stabilized in polar solvents using either positive or negative surface charges. In nonpolar solvents, steric stabilization is provided by long chain amines and carboxylic acids. Furthermore, we study this peculiar post-synthetic surface modification through solution 1H NMR and elemental analysis. Surprisingly, we find ion-pairs of alkylammonium carboxylates bound to the surface, contrasting with earlier reports on carboxylic acid stabilized metal oxide nanocrystals. To rationalize this, a general framework of acid/base chemistry with metal oxide nanocrystals is constructed and discussed.
INTERFACES ENTRE BIOÉTICA E DIREITO ACERCA DA REGULAMENTAÇÃO E DESCRIMINALIZAÇÃO DO ABORTO EM DEFESA DA CONSOLIDAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS FEMININOS NO BRASIL
Authors: França Karoline Veiga , Brauner Maria Claudia Crespo
Published: March 2018

O corpo feminino tem um significado para além da questão biológica e estética: é lugar de luta e resistência. Destarte, o debate sobre a sua ressignificação vem ultrapassando o tempo e espaço, através da reivindicação de direitos os quais transformem a mulher em um sujeito de direitos. No Brasil, há um notório desrespeito aos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos das mulheres no que concerne ao exercício da sua autonomia reprodutiva. Assim, este ensaio objetiva fazer uma reflexão crítica, através da interface Bioética e Direito, sobre o aborto, sua regulamentação e descriminalização na legislação brasileira, fundamentando-se no método lógico-dedutivo de pesquisa bibliográfica.

RECURSO AO LEGISLADOR: CONSIDERAÇÕES EM TORNO DO CONTROLE LEGISLATIVO AO PODER JUDICIÁRIO (UM EPITÁFIO À PEC Nº33)
Authors: Dettmam Deborah , Matos Nelson Juliano Cardoso
Published: March 2018

Este artigo discute se o recurso ao povo ou ao legislador, como instrumento de resolução dos conflitos entre os poderes, viola a separação de poderes e a independência do poder judiciário ou se, antes disso, dá fiel execução à separação de poderes. Para alcançar esse objetivo, esse artigo investiga se existe relação entre o recurso ao legislador e os regimes autoritários; se a Constituição Federal de 1988 proíbe outro guardião constitucional, que não o Supremo Tribunal Federal, e quais as consequências e inconsistências teóricas em se recorrer ao povo como árbitro do conflito constitucional.
DA EXIGÊNCIA DE LEI FORMAL E MATERIAL PARA CRIAÇÃO DE OBRIGAÇÕES ACESSÓRIAS COMO PRESSUPOSTO PARA APLICAÇÃO DE SANÇÃO
Authors: Queiroz Rafael Dos Santos , Bernardes Flávio Couto
Published: March 2018

O cumprimento das obrigações acessórias é imposto mediante normas de conduta. A estrutura normativa revela na hipótese a descrição do fato jurígeno, com os mesmos aspectos aplicáveis às normas que criam os tributos. A prescrição deve descrever a prestação e o modo de sua execução. As regras que irão compor essas normas devem ser inseridas no ordenamento por lei formal e material, em respeito à legalidade, proporcionando o fechamento do sistema jurídico. A norma de sanção tem por antecedente o descumprimento da norma de conduta. Há comando expresso no Código Tributário Nacional impondo sua criação por lei em sentido estrito.
UM OLHAR SOBRE A EFETIVIDADE DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS TRIBUTÁRIAS NA BUSCA DA JUSTIÇA SOCIAL
Authors: Ribeiro Maria de Fátima , Maciel Lucas Pires
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo tem como mote analisar os aspectos sociais que o Estado está obrigado a fornecer à sociedade e as repercussões dos tributos, considerando a tributação como importante instrumento para o desenvolvimento econômico e social. A tributação é necessária não apenas como forma de financiar os custos do próprio Estado, mas para realizar a redistribuição de riquezas. Fez-se um estudo acerca dessa função do Estado e a busca pela Justiça Social. Assim, no cenário nacional, pode-se afirmar que existem políticas públicas para garantir efetivamente a justiça social? Foi utilizado o método dedutivo, com pesquisas bibliográficas.
A EXECUÇÃO FISCAL ADMINISTRATIVA: UM OLHAR SOBRE A PERSPECTIVA DA AMPLA DEFESA COMO INTEGRANTE DO FEIXE DE GARANTIAS CONSTITUCIONAIS QUE COMPÕEM O DEVIDO PROCESSO LEGAL
Authors: Couto Bernardes Flávio , Machado Rodrigues de Azevedo Henrique
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo objetiva analisar a constitucionalidade da introdução da Execução Fiscal Administrativa no contexto do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, com foco específico na compatibilidade desse instituto com a ampla defesa, garantia constitucional elevada ao status de cláusula pétrea pela Constituição de 1988. Assim, pretende-se demonstrar que a ampla defesa é um dos aspectos do feixe de garantias que compõem o devido processo legal, devendo ser observada nos casos em que o Estado pretende se apoderar do patrimônio dos administrados pela via da tributação no contexto do paradigma do Estado Democrático de Direito, com enfoque no modelo constitucional de processo
OS DIREITOS SEXUAIS DAS CRIANÇAS E ADOLESCENTES NO ESTUPRO DE VULNERÁVEL
Authors: Souza Luanna Tomaz
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo busca analisar se a Lei 12.015/2009, que traz modificações ao Código Penal Brasileiro no âmbito dos crimes sexuais, tem contribuído para reconhecimento dos direitos sexuais das crianças e adolescentes. A hipótese inicial é de que a Lei foi construída à revelia da compreensão da criança enquanto sujeito de direitos. Foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e jurisprudencial como forma de fundamentar a análise. Avalia-se que a Lei 12.015/2009 contribuiu para reafirmar uma lógica tutelar que ignora a dimensão de direitos das crianças e adolescentes.

INTRODUCING STUDIO ORIENTED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (SOLE) IN UPM SERDANG: ACCESSING STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING (SCL) IN THE ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO
Authors: Zairul Mohd
Published: March 2018

This article reports the initial results of the exploratory research related to student-centered learning (SCL) in final year Architecture studio education in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). SCL is defined as an approach to empower students in their own learning. Although studies on the adaptability of this concept in education has increased, there are few studies conducted for the benefits of architectural education from studio design perspective. In this article, we define SCL as an approach to increase student autonomy in learning curve especially in making decisions related to design subjects using a summative and formative approach. The objective of this article is to experiment the SOLE model and how it can move forward. The SOLE (Studio Oriented Learning Environment) model encompasses lecturing, sharing and peer review that is inspired by self-regulated theory. However, several problems and difficulties were identified namely, a lack of tutor input and problems in discussion dynamic in addition to resistance to peer assessment. This article suggests a number of improvements for future recommendations. The study will benefit educators in the architectural field in contributing to helping students to build on unique background knowledge and at the same time let the students generate learning opportunities and reconstruct knowledge dynamically in an open-ended learning environment to implement SCL in the studio module.
THE UNIVERSITY AS AGENT OF CHANGE IN THE CITY: CO-CREATION OF LIVE COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Sara Rachel , Jones Matthew
Published: March 2018

Universities have a civic responsibility towards the cities of which they are a part. This is typically operationalised through Outreach and Engagement, which aims to share and apply the expertise and knowledge generated by the university with communities. The model is typically a one-direction path from the University to communities, but there is potential for the engagement to take on more of a two-way collaboration, in which there is an intent to generate new knowledge and enact positive change. This paper reflects on the practice of Hands-on-Bristol, a collective bringing community members, architects, trainee architects, and academics together to co-create projects. This practice is conceived as a form of Spatial Civic Agency that empowers a community organization to participate in making and re-making their places. Projects typically involve a process of co-creation, bringing into consciousness the conditions that shape a community’s place in their world and catalysing possibilities that seemingly cannot otherwise be unlocked. The paper analyses the process of the projects using four key civic agency concepts which identify a need to: Involve the citizen as co-creator; Engage with public and community places; Reconceptualise the role of the professional; and Understand democracy as a lived social and cultural experience grounded in everyday life. The analysis suggests that this participatory approach to education questions the primary focus of education as provider of practice-ready graduates and makes a place for the University as civic agent with transformative potential to co-create more sustainable, resilient communities.
UTILIZATION OF SOCIAL FACILITIES TO REINFORCE SOCIAL INTERACTION IN FORMAL HOUSING
Authors: Yuliastuti Nany , Sukmawati Annisa Mu'awanah , Purwoningsih Purwoningsih
Published: March 2018

Formal housing development in Indonesia is supported by the availability of social facilities to develop social, economy, and culture of residents. Social facilities have an essential role to enhance the social values of residents by providing a space for interaction. This paper aims to examine utilization of social facilities to reinforce social interaction in a neighborhood by comparing the utilization of social facilities at two formal housings, built by the government and a private developer. The analytical method used is quantitative descriptive analysis through Crosstab Analysis. The study presented that the accessibility is the most important factor influencing the use of social facilities. Furthermore, social facilities at a private housing development are more effective to conduct social interaction than at a public housing development. Social facilities at private housing developments have a significant role as spaces for gathering and fostering social relationships among residents. Meanwhile, social interaction among residents at a public housing development is regardless of the use of social facilities due to a sense of community.
TOWARDS TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING METHODS FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (ESD): A CASE STUDY
Authors: Grierson David , Munro Karen Elizabeth
Published: March 2018

This paper explores the relationship between education for sustainable development (ESD) and interdisciplinarity in the context of architecture and engineering higher education, presenting a case study of the University of Strathclyde Glasgow’s Sustainable Engineering (SE) postgraduate programme, within the wider context of common principles and practices present across HEIs.  The paper - one of a series - offers an overview of the SE programme between 2004 and 2015 (coinciding with UNDESD) and discusses its growing focus on interdisciplinarity and the introduction of transformative learning methods over the study period.  The study uses a methodology of statistical analysis of enrolment and graduation trends on the SE programme alongside a discursive analysis of course and module provision specific to learning methods for ESD and interdisciplinarity. The study finds that, within the SE programme, both the courses and modules that have an SD focus exhibit the greatest longevity over the study period and are selected by students significantly more often than other courses and modules. The finding supports previous studies that report an increased appetite for such courses and classes.  The learning methods employed on the modules align with those considered exemplary in the literature surrounding ESD, and demonstrate the programme’s aspirations towards increased interdisciplinarity in postgraduate ESD.  The paper provides insight into the practices and outcomes of a specific long-standing programme, offering opportunity for reflection, discussion and comparison with similar programmes.
THE SPATIALITY OF SEGREGATION: NARRATIVES FROM THE EVERYDAY URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF GOTHENBURG AND GLASGOW
Authors: Shehab Nada , Salama Ashraf M.
Published: March 2018

Recent figures of displaced people in the world have reached more than 60 Million suggesting that there has been an exponential increase in the rate of forced and voluntary mobility between cities. This has inevitably caused socially and politically constructed ‘borders’ to change. This paper examines the different levels of manifestation of migration using two case studies from: Scotland and Sweden to demonstrate different mobility patterns serving to provide a wider comparison of urban responses to the different magnitudes of influx of migrants and their highly diverse distributions. Within the context of the two cases the paper examines socio-spatial practices of migrant communities and assesses the impact of displaced populations on the urban areas they occupy and vice versa. It also highlights the role of urban practitioners in questioning durable solutions that address the challenges introduced by spatial segregation on infrastructure and local communities. Key contribution of this study aims to shift stereotypical architectural conception towards more resolved contextual solutions that address current socio-cultural needs in urban areas that host displaced communities. This is coupled with a greater understanding of the historical trends and future challenges of mass migration, which could be developed into a methodology for further research into proposing socially sustainable solutions that deal with the complex nature of displacement and its socio-spatial impact on urban environments.
