Authors: Russell Katie C. , Jeter Sheldon , MacDougall Colin
Published: May 2024

Communication Skills and Report Writing for Building Scientists addresses the primary questions of inexperienced technical writers: “How should my report be written?” and “How do I present my work in style, format, data presentation and illustration program?” An undergraduate research report is given as an example of good report writing and key elements of the report are highlighted for student learning. This concise handbook also covers writing to land a job or applying to graduate school, and a step-by-step guide is provided on how to successfully navigate the job search or graduate school application process. Several sample resumes are provided as well as effective means to communicate with prospective employers or graduate programs of interest. The last section of this guide covers writing on the job and speaks to the kinds of tasks students face when they make the transition from classroom reporting to workplace communication, where problems are often open-ended and audiences cannot be assumed to be building science professionals. Instruction is also given to students on how to use the library as a research tool and how to master various virtual communication platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams and LinkedIn.
Des Chambon aux Arnavon : transmission et enrichissement d’un fonds d’imagerie religieuse à Avignon au xviiie siècle
Authors: Gallian Nastasia
Published: May 2024

Héritière des imagiers de la famille Chambon, Marie-Alix Rostan (1705-1782) collabora avec son mari, Pierre-Joseph Arnavon (1691-1757), pour diriger ce qui fut le principal atelier de gravure et d’impression d’images en taille-douce d’Avignon entre 1722 et le début des années 1760. Recherchant, comme leurs prédécesseurs, la clientèle des confréries, des corporations et des chapitres d’église, les Arnavon développèrent une offre centrée sur les images de dévotion naïves et très marquées par leur terroir, dont nous proposons ici une étude d’ensemble et un catalogue.

Published: May 2024

En Inde, les enjeux de justice sociale, d’équité et de justice écologique font depuis longtemps partie des préoccupations des experts du curriculum. Cet article s’intéresse à la façon dont, à partir de 2005, l’éducation au développement durable, associée à la pédagogie gandhienne, a été intégrée dans le curriculum indien ainsi que dans les manuels qui en ont découlé. Sont notamment examinés, au niveau de l’enseignement primaire, les thèmes et les approches utilisés pour les études environnementales et les mathématiques, ainsi que leur impact sur la formation des enseignants. L’article se termine par le point sur la situation actuelle, avec un nouveau curriculum qui remet en question ces développements, et par une discussion de l’apport des études environnementales critiques et de leur focale sur la justice sociale au discours international sur l’éducation au développement durable.

Plateformisation de la mobilité et territorialisation des plateformes : le cas du free-floating en Île-de-France
Authors: Mangeart Timothée
Published: May 2024

Portée par des plateformes financées par des fonds de capital-risque, la micromobilité partagée a connu un rapide développement à travers le monde dans la deuxième moitié des années 2010 sous la forme de services de véhicules en free-floating. Lorsqu’elles se déploient dans l’espace de la rue, quelles transformations les plateformes de free-floating entraînent-t-elles ? A partir du cas de l’Île-de-France et de l’analyse de 35 entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès d’acteurs du secteur, l’étude de cas met en évidence un double mouvement : une plateformisation de la mobilité d’une part, et une territorialisation des plateformes d’autre part. En effet, pour fonctionner, les plateformes de free-floating capitalisent sur la présence continue de leurs véhicules dans l’espace de la rue, associée à l’affichage des informations relatives à leurs véhicules dans les applications numériques dédiées. La présence des véhicules dans l’espace de la rue a entraîné une régulation progressive des plateformes de free-floating par les collectivités locales. En réponse, les plateformes de free-floating ont adapté leurs technologies de contrôle à distance et automatisé des véhicules pour mettre en œuvre une stratégie de gestion de l’espace : le géogardiennage. In fine, la régulation par les collectivités locales a renforcé la capacité des plateformes de free-floating à maîtriser l’occupation de l’espace de la rue.
Le territoire est toujours vivant. Une analyse transversale de la littérature sur un concept central de la géographie
Authors: Gonin Alexis
Published: May 2024

Le concept de territoire fait l’objet d’une très abondante littérature en sciences humaines et sociales, qui alimente des sens et des usages apparemment très différents. Cet article dresse un état de l’art multidisciplinaire qui situe les uns par rapport aux autres les différents courants sur le concept de territoire. Dans le format synthétique qui est le sien, le but n’est pas d’approfondir chacune des discussions théoriques. Le premier objectif est plutôt de structurer, à travers un corpus d’environ 120 références, un panorama de la très abondante littérature francophone, anglophone et hispanophone sur le territoire. Le deuxième objectif est de tenter des rapprochements entre ces arènes de discussions qui échangent peu entre elles, autour de trois problématiques qui pourraient leur être communes. Enfin, en approfondissant la lecture transversale de la littérature et l’effort de synthèse, le troisième objectif est de soumettre à la discussion des caractéristiques fondamentales qui pourraient constituer le cœur conceptuel original du territoire. On propose finalement d’envisager la territorialisation comme un processus de partage qui permet de traiter la problématique de la coexistence des groupes sociaux dans des milieux ou espaces partagés.
Applications of Blockchain in Building Marketing Framework
Authors: Naim Arshi
Published: May 2024

Firms apply various technological applications to achieve their businesses objectives. Developing marketing framework (MF) has been a challenge for firms in all types of products and services. This is because firms are not sure of which MF can best suit their business practices and attain environmental sustainability. Another important reason is that there are some marketing models (MM) which are confused with the MF that leads to misinterpretation of applications. This research chapter is qualitative in nature and has two parts. The first part presents the definitions of MM and MF and presents a comparative analysis between them. The second part presents the application of blockchain for developing successful marketing framework for environmental sustainability. Results are presented by using observation methods. Analysis and are based on the firm's experience in the use of blockchain in building MF for environmental sustainability.

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important species in the cucurbit family with a large economic importance in the world. Two melon cultivars commercially important in Brazil are ‘Yellow’ and ‘Gaúcho’. In addition to their economic importance, these two cultivars display phenotypic differences in aroma, a major trait determining fruit quality. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) impart the different aroma found in this fruit and their biosynthesis is associated with fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. Using RT-qPCR techniques, the expression of seven genes (CmLOX9, CmLOX18, CmBCAT1, CmArAT1, CmPDC1, CmADH1, and CmAAT1) was determined during ripening. The lipid pathway played a strong role in determining aroma composition in non-climacteric ‘Yellow’ melons. Most volatiles decreased during ripening, explaining the non-aromatic characteristic of this cultivar. In climacteric ‘Gaúcho’ melons, the amino acid pathway was the main one related to the biosynthesis of esters, which contribute to the aroma of this cultivar. Volatile products of the branched-chain amino acid pathway correlated with CmADH1 and CmAAT1 expression, demonstrating their role in volatile synthesis in this climacteric melon cultivar. In addition, CmPDC1 contributes to the formation of aldehydes at the beginning of this pathway.

Salt stress is a major abiotic factor limiting plant growth worldwide, particularly in arid and semiarid regions where excessive groundwater use in irrigation leads to high salt concentrations. To address this issue, this study investigated the efficacy of silicon, either alone or in combination with Trichoderma harzianum and organic matter, in mitigating salt stress in forage sorghum. The experiment took place in a saline Fluvisol in Parnamirim, a semiarid region of Pernambuco, Brazil, and followed a randomized block design with five treatments and four replicates: sorghum (control); sorghum + Si; sorghum + Si + OM (organic matter); sorghum + Si + T (T. harzianum); and sorghum + Si + T + OM. Sorghum plants were assessed over three cycles (initial cut and two regrowths) from June 2021 to April 2022. The combined treatments of Si + OM, Si + T, and Si + T + OM increased plant growth by 42.17, 35.49, and 27.51%, respectively, compared to the control. Similarly, these treatments led to biomass accumulation gains of 39.42, 40.44, and 31.77% in sorghum plants relative to the control. Silicon alone did not yield significant growth or biomass accumulation improvements. The application of silicon in conjunction with T. harzianum and/or organic matter shows promise in enhancing forage sorghum growth under saline stress conditions in semiarid regions.

Published: May 2024

The furrow-ridge system was designed to allow the cultivation of dryland crop species in lowlands, enabling rotation with rice. After harvesting the dryland species, farmers usually return with rice in the following cropping season, with costs associated with dismantling ridges before sowing rice. The possibility of sowing rice directly on residual ridges should be investigated to avoid these costs. The objective was to verify the ecophysiological adaptability of rice sown on residual ridges from the previous dryland crop in lowlands, and to identify possible factors impacting the physiological performance of rice plants in this new production system. The experiment was installed in the field in a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 12 replications. The treatments considered the plant’s position in the field and in the irrigation furrow. The parameters of the growth analysis were calculated using the classical method. There was no significant damage to rice plants in any part of the field, and there was no difference between plants at the top or bottom of the furrow. Therefore, there is no need to dismantle residual ridges from previous dryland crops before planting rice in the succeeding cropping season in the lowlands of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
Expression of BerEP4 and CD10 IHC Markers in Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adnexal Tumours of Follicular Differentiation
Authors: Shabeer Nimi , Nair Nandakumar Gopinathan , Vijayaraghavan Lilarani
Published: May 2024

Background:

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. In most cases, BCC can be diagnosed by its characteristic histopathological features. The differential diagnosis includes basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and adnexal tumours of follicular differentiation. Cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10) and name of an immunostain (BerEP4) are reported to be useful in differentiating between them.

Objectives:

The primary objective was to compare the expression of BerEP4 and CD10 in BCC with that of SqCC and adnexal tumours of follicular differentiation, and the secondary objective was to evaluate the proportion of different histological subtypes of BCC.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty-eight cases of BCCs, 34 cases of SqCCs and 16 adnexal tumours of follicular differentiation received in the institution during the study period January 2017 to June 2018 were included in this descriptive study. Immunostaining with CD10 and BerEP4 was performed, and the staining pattern was studied in all 78 cases. A detailed histopathological evaluation including subtyping was carried out for BCC cases.

Results:

All BCCs showed positivity with CD10 and BerEP4, but the intensity and pattern varied. Squamous cell carcinomas were completely negative for BerEP4 and CD10 in tumour cells, and 25 of 34 cases showed stromal CD10 positivity. Among adnexal tumours of follicular differentiation, proliferating trichilemmal tumour was completely negative for both markers; other adnexal tumours (n = 11/16) showed peritumoral stromal accentuation for CD10, and nine of 11 cases showed BerEP4 tumour cell positivity (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

BerEP4 can reliably detect BCCs of all types and distinguish between BCC and SqCC, but it is unable to do so for adnexal tumours such as trichoepithelioma, trichilemmoma and trichoblastoma. CD10 is a useful adjunct marker in distinguishing both trichoepithelioma (TE) and SqCC from BCC. CD10-positive tumour cells favour a diagnosis of BCC and peritumoral stromal accentuation for trichoblastoma (TB) and trichilemmoma (TL). Tumour cells in SqCC are almost always negative for CD10. A combined immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel of CD10 and BerEP4 can serve as a very reliable adjunctive in the diagnosis of BCC.

Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) commonly presents as continuous, sharp, unilateral chest pain exacerbated by deep inspiration and change of posture. The present study has been undertaken to study the clinical profile of SP among in-patients of a tertiary care hospital in South India.

Methodology:

A prospective hospital-based study of 100 consecutive cases diagnosed with SP from January 2019 to September 2020. Every patient underwent comprehensive history taking, in-depth clinical examination, and investigations. Data were entered into Excel spreadsheets in 2019. Data were presented using frequency and percentage and descriptive statistics were used.

Results:

SP was more common in males, Smoking can be considered a significant risk factor for SP, as 54% of all cases had a history of smoking. Dyspnea, accompanied by unilateral chest pain is the most common SP symptom. Tuberculosis is the most common etiological component of SP. Eighty-five percent of cases were successfully treated by tube thoracostomy.

Conclusion:

SP was more common in males and during the third and fifth decades of life. Secondary SP was more common than primary SP. Smoking history is an important risk factor for SP. Evaluating the clinical profile helps in assessing the etiology of SP. Early screening for risk factors and detection of comorbidities helps in the prevention of SP.

European Parallel Traditions on Textual Studies apropos Translation Act in Indian Contexts: Charles Bally and Successors of Saussure
Authors: Mishra Sushant Kumar , Deepak Anuradha
Published: May 2024

Comparative language studies have yielded various interesting results towards the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. European thinkers have worked a lot on areas which have provided the basis for later frameworks for textual analysis and critical study. This kind of textual study has impacted the frameworks of Translation Studies for comparative analysis of parallel texts between a pair of languages. The translation processes and training have been designed on the basis of the categories drawn from the comparative stylistic studies between the language pairs. By ‘translation act’, we understand here the fundamental stylistic categories which help us refine the translation skills while translating a text. This paper aims at understanding such impact on the textual analysis frameworks as used in the Translation Studies. The paper focuses especially on the writings of Charles Bally in the context of text analysis of the source and target language texts. The writings of Charles Bally and some related writings of Saussure are not readily available in English.1 Considering these writings the parallel 1 The book titled Course in General Linguistics is a book posthumously edited by eminent linguists Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye. The books originally written by Saussure like Mémoire sur le système primitif des voyelles dans les langues Indo-Europèennes or related writings like Godel Robert, Notes inédites de Saussure are not available in English. Most of the writings of Saussure remain untranslated into English. These writings are important as they inform us about the methodology that Saussure employed in developing the understanding that is often presented to us. Course in General linguistics remains very sketchy in several aspects of Saussure’s theories. For information, the following sites may be consulted for further reading: 1. Godel Robert, Notes inédites de Saussure, this text is not available on internet archives. However, its reference can be found in several publications like European Parallel Traditions… 89 traditions of Europe, we explore the possibility of implementing the ideas of these traditions on the study of language pairs (English and Hindi) in the context of translation act. This implementation of these ideas for studying the language pairs for getting the principles regarding the translation act requires a comparative stylistic study between the pair of languages on which a translator is working. In this paper, the examples for illustrating the theoretical aspects of comparative stylistics discussed have been given from the language pair Hindi and English.
Factors Influencing Fans to Attend Matches Amid Pandemic: Exploring the Role of Trio of Team Affiliation, Sportscape, and Team Quality

Published: May 2024

Football is a sport that has attracted global attention. Individuals who attend competitive football associate with teams and athletes to a point where they become ardent attendees. Post-pandemic, fans have returned in droves to watch live matches at stadiums following the relaxation of strict observance of safety protocols. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to determine the factors that prompt fans to attend matches during games by focusing on three main factors including team affiliation, sportscape and star players. We used a qualitative phenomenological approach to obtain deeper comprehension regarding factors that influence fans to crowd at stadiums to watch football. We deployed semi-structured interviews which gave us the opportunity to probe and gather relevant responses. Interviews were audio taped and transcribed to pave the way for content analysis. Results show that fan affinity and star players are prime determinants of fans’ match day attendance at stadiums. Sportscape yielded mix results with some fans putting premium on sportscape but others lamented the deplorable conditions of stadium amenities such as washrooms, insecurity, and malfunctioning scoreboard on whose evidence sportscape does little to motivate them to attend matches. We recommend the need for teams to pool resources into recruitment of star players and build a groundswell of loyal fans through outstanding in-field performances to attract crowds to the stadium.

This paper aims at developing an intelligent face recognition students’ attendance system to enhance school attendance tracking. The system is made up of four phases- database of students’ details, face detection, face recognition and attendance report. The database stores all the students’ details and images of the students’ face captured while face detection and recognition is carried out with convolutional neural network algorithms from the face recognition and opencv library. As faces are detected and recognized from live streaming video of the classroom, attendance are recorded into an excel file and then sent to a real time database. The system also contains a mobile interface through which the course instructors can access information at all time. The methodology adopted for this work is object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) while programming language used is Python. This work has helped immensely to eliminate the issue of proxy attendance as well as reduce the time wasted in manual attendance system. It is very beneficial to schools and other institutions where attendance is required.

Visi menjadi kota berkelanjutan adalah tujuan pembangunan Pemerintah Kota Bontang yang perlu diintegrasikan ke dalam strategi-strategi pembangunannya, salah satunya dalam sektor pariwisata yang diarahkan pada wisata urban. Namun, pengejawantahan wisata urban belum tampak dalam pengembangan wisata di area urban terbesar dengan jumlah penduduk terbanyak di Kota Bontang yaitu Kelurahan Lok Tuan. Penelitian ini mengkaji pandangan single actor dan multiple actors dalam konsep komunikasi strategis untuk menggambarkan wisata urban berdasarkan analisis daya tarik wisata 4A. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pendekatan komunikasi strategis yang tepat dalam konteks pengembangan wisata urban sesuai visi kota berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode pengumpulan data wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Informan terdiri atas tiga komponen sistem sosial yang memengaruhi diseminasi gagasan wisata urban yaitu pihak Kelurahan Lok Tuan, komunitas masyarakat dan opinion leader. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hubungan Pemerintah Kota dan stakeholder internal cenderung linier dengan minim keterlibatan, sementara hubungan dengan stakeholder eksternal lebih kolaboratif. Tanpa mengaburkan pentingnya proses komunikasi linier tersebut, penelitian ini melihat bahwa komunikasi yang dinamis dan kolaboratif perlu diimplementasikan juga pada hubungan Pemerintah Kota dengan stakeholder internalnya. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengembangkan fokus studi untuk menghasilkan gambaran yang lebih komprehensif tentang komunikasi strategis Pemerintah Kota dalam mewujudkan visinya, serta mengaitkan dengan konsep keterlibatan untuk mengetahui saluran komunikasi yang tepat untuk mencapai tujuan dari hubungan linear maupun kolaboratif tersebut.

Mengendalikan inflasi merupakan salah satu tantangan besar dalam menjaga stabilitas perekonomian Indonesia.  Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, kebijakan moneter memainkan peran penting dalam mengendalikan tingkat inflasi.  Tingkat inflasi di Indonesia dalam kurun waktu 5 tahun terakhir mengalami perubahan yang berkisar 3,13%; 2,72%; 1,68%; 1,87%; 5,51%.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran kebijakan moneter di Indonesia dalam mengatasi inflasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur, dengan cara mengumpulkan, mengkaji, dan menganalisis berbagai literatur, data, dan kebijakan yang telah diterapkan Bank Indonesia dalam pengendalian inflasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan moneter yang diterapkan Bank Indonesia terbukti cukup efektif dalam mengendalikan inflasi di Indonesia. Penyesuaian suku bunga, operasi pasar terbuka, dan instrumen kebijakan moneter lainnya telah dimanfaatkan secara aktif oleh Bank Indonesia untuk menjaga inflasi tetap berada pada kisaran sasarannya. Faktor-faktor seperti permintaan agregat, biaya produksi, harga komoditas internasional, dan nilai tukar juga mempengaruhi tingkat inflasi di Indonesia. Namun Bank Indonesia telah mampu mengendalikan inflasi secara efektif melalui kebijakan moneter yang tepat. Meski demikian, tantangan seperti fluktuasi harga komoditas internasional dan nilai tukar mata uang masih perlu diatasi ke depan. Oleh karena itu, Bank Indonesia perlu terus meningkatkan koordinasi dengan pemerintah dalam merancang kebijakan fiskal yang dapat mengurangi ketergantungan perekonomian Indonesia terhadap harga komoditas internasional. Selain itu, transparansi kebijakan moneter dan komunikasi yang lebih baik dengan pasar juga merupakan kunci untuk menjaga stabilitas harga dan mencegah tekanan inflasi yang berlebihan.
