A systematic review of government casebooks and empirical studies on elementary English education in the era of COVID-19
Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Heo Hye-jung
Published: September 2022

The main purpose of this paper is to draw implications for online English classes by systematically reviewing government casebooks and research studies dealing with online elementary school English classes in Korea during the COVID-19 epidemic.
In-depth analyses of Korean government casebooks and 16 primary studies published during the years 2020 and 2021 showed that the Ministry of Education tried to support elementary schools by providing examples of restructuring standards for achievement, examples of instructional plans, and examples of evaluation and feedback. Some other findings are as follows. The ratio of content utilization-centered classes using the ‘E-learning platform’ for elementary English was high. Of the entire studies, 74% was conducted in the metropolitan area. Learners valued interaction with teachers the most. Teachers were concerned about copyright infringement and the learning gap between learners. It is necessary to further explore various types of online English classes, taking into account the characteristics of elementary learners.
The Relationship Between Young EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Knowledge and Listening Comprehension
Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Joo Dayoung , Lee Junkyu
Published: September 2022

This study investigates the degree to which an elementary school EFL learner’s level of second language (L2) vocabulary correlates to their L2 listening ability. The study aims to further identify whether or to what extent various measures of vocabulary knowledge predict the variance in L2 listening comprehension. In particular, the study focuses on the relatively unexplored area of phonological knowledge of vocabulary.
Three phonological measures which tap into both vocabulary breadth and depth knowledge were adopted in this study: the receptive phonological vocabulary breadth knowledge (RVB), productive phonological vocabulary breadth knowledge (PVB), and phonological vocabulary depth knowledge (VD) measures. Twenty elementary school EFL learners participated in the study and were required to complete an L2 listening comprehension test, followed by three vocabulary knowledge tests. Correlation analysis revealed that RVB most strongly correlated with L2 listening comprehension score (r = .77). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the best fitting model which consists of RVB and VD could predict about 75% of the variance in L2 listening comprehension. The findings indicate that phonological vocabulary knowledge is a significant predictor of L2 listening ability of young EFL learners.
Action research for exploring the aspects of level-differentiated literacy learning based on picture books in primary English
Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Park Jiwon , Kim Hae-Ri
Published: September 2022

This study aims to explore the process of a level-differentiated literacy class in primary English using picture books and investigate the aspects of the learner’s English reading and writing. To achieve the objectives, the following two research questions were proposed: 1) How can each cycle of a level-differentiated literacy class based on picture books be practiced? 2) What are the aspects of a level-differentiated literacy learning in primary English? To answer these questions, data were collected from diverse sources and qualitatively analyzed. The results are as follows. First, a level-differentiated literacy class using picture books was conducted through three cycles. In Cycle I, the students set the stage for reading by decoding words. In Cycle II, students began to read sentences and tried to write. In Cycle Ⅲ, it was possible to develop an integrated literacy through information reading. Based on the positive results of the three cycles, lesson models were derived. Second, it was possible to find three aspects of reading and writing according to the level of students. Low-level students built a foundation of literacy learning from decoding to sentence writing.
Mid-level students attempted meaningful writing related to their experiences and processed information using the text they read. High-level students responded to the text in-depth as well as producing their own ideas. Based on the results, some suggestions were provided.
Effects of types of input frequency distribution and working memory capacity on Korean elementary English learners’ grammar learning
Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Park Hye-Mi , Lee Sang-Ki
Published: September 2022

From the input-driven and usage-based approach to language learning, this study investigates the effects of types of input frequency distribution and working memory capacity on grammar learning by Korean elementary English learners. A total of 64 students were exposed to the participle forms of psychological verbs (e.g., exciting and excited) in three different input frequency distribution conditions (skewed, balanced, and control), and their working memory capacity was measured by a conceptual span task. The learning outcomes and the generalizability of the learned knowledge were measured with a scaled judgment task and a picture description task, immediately after the treatment and two weeks later. The results showed that the input frequency distribution factor had statistically significant main effects in the posttest session. Overall, students in the balanced condition were found to have outperformed those in the skewed condition. In addition, it was found that the working memory capacity factor had a positive influence on the learning of the target forms, both in terms of comprehension and production. Its positive effects continued to be observed in the production aspect of the delayed posttest session.

Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Lee Seungmin , Kim Jinyoung
Published: September 2022

Interaction is a key means of mediating English learning. Focusing on the role of interaction in English learning, this study analyzed the effects of level-based grouping on learner-learner interaction and learning of key expressions required for conducting collaborative activities. To this end, a collaborative activity to promote learner-leaner interaction was devised using the learning contents at an elementary English level, and it was applied to 5th grade English classes. Thirty students carried out the collaborative activity by forming heterogeneous groups and homogeneous groups according to their level of English. The effects were examined by analyzing the amount and pattern of learner-learner interaction and identifying the degree of help in English learning. The main findings of this study are as follows. Learner-learner interaction occurred actively among elementary school students performing the collaborative activity, and it occurred in a way that helped them learn English more effectively.
Learner-learner interaction helped the students to learn key expressions necessary for conducting the collaborative activity. According to level-based grouping, the effects of learner-learner interaction on the interaction pattern and English learning were different.

Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Choi Shin-Hyung
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate how to utilize applications and platforms on elementary students’ self-directed learning for English writing. It was attempted to prove the effectiveness of learning to write through the use of applications by getting corrections on students’ writing. Additionally, with the use of platforms, exchanging teachers-to-students feedbacks and students-to-students feedbacks during the process-oriented writing was attempted to improve efficacy. The research was carried out with two classes of sixth graders from an elementary school in Seoul. Tests on English writing abilities and affective domains of self-directed learning ability were conducted. Also, a semi-structured student interview was carried out. The test on self-directed learning ability consisted of the following six areas: motivation, self-management, responsibility, initiative, meta-cognition, and self-efficacy. The result showed that English writing abilities and self-directed learning ability on every area improved and that students showed a higher degree of satisfaction for the classes utilizing applications and platforms. According to students’ responses, strengths of the classes were one on one learning, customized feedbacks, and time efficiency. However, a serious impediment was encountered utilizing applications and platforms. For example, some of them felt uncomfortable about feedback errors, comparison with peers, and adaptation time. Some implications and suggestions for developing an English writing instructional model are included.
Coil embolization of a complex renal artery aneurysm using a new scaffold (Comaneci) device – A case report
Authors: Hargis Paige Ashley , Fletcher Austin , Bhat Ambarish
Published: September 2022

Advances in endovascular approaches have resulted in increasing utilization of minimally invasive techniques to treat visceral artery aneurysms including renal artery aneurysms (RAAs), with high rates of success. The basic endovascular approach to treating RAAs includes stent graft exclusion or coil embolization. Treatment of RAAs with wide necks or at the bifurcation of the main vessel is facilitated by scaffolding techniques, which have been previously described. These techniques have their limitations and cannot be used in all situations. We describe a scaffolding technique using the Comaneci device (Rapid Medical, Israel), a retrievable mesh device meant for intracranial treatment of wide neck or bifurcation aneurysms that we used to safely and successfully treat a 2 cm RAA.

Authors: Jagielski Adam , Kanciak Krzysztof
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we propose an estimation of quantum resources necessary for recovering a key using Known Plain Text Attack (KPA) model for SPARKLE family of LWC authenticated block ciphers - SCHWAEMM. The procedure is based on a general attack using Grover's search algorithm with encryption oracle over key space in superposition. The paper explains step by step how to evaluate the cost of each operation type in encryption oracle in terms of various quantum and reversible gates. The result of this paper is an implementation of the simplified version of this cipher using quantum computer and summary table which shows the depth of quantum circuit, the size of quantum register and how many gates of NCT family are required for implementing the ciphers and attacks on them.

Crime Prevention through environmental design(CPTED): Current state and Improvements of Government Office Buildings
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Kim Seou
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate government office buildings and the environmental factors that contribute to crime preventative designs of those buildings. It has been found that: first, in the case of central government buildings, “access management of government buildings” and “protection diagnosis” were newly established in the ｢government building management regulations and enforcement regulations｣ in December, 2016. However, this change has yet to be established in local government buildings. In addition, it was confirmed that the contents of regulations reflected here were far below par compared to the crime prevention building standards applied to personal apartments under the ｢Building Act｣. Second, as rallies and protests that take place near government office buildings increase every year, surveys confirm that exposure to noise has a negative impact on work performance. Finally, it is crucial that crime preventative designs should be strictly controlled by regulation (ex. building codes), so that civil servants are protected from crimes. It is necessary to improve sound insulation performance of windows to minimize the noise generated by protests to not hinder the work performance of civil servants. These findings help understand the current environmental conditions of government office buildings associated with crime prevention facilities. There is room for improvement in the principles and process to make the government office building better, safer and more pleasant for both citizens and officials.

The Gender Difference in Fear of Crime: Comparing the effects of Environmental Factors in Streets of Low-rise Multi-Family Housing Area
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Rhee Jee Heon , Han Gisung , Lee Kyung-Hoon
Published: September 2022

The streets in the low-rise multi-family housing area increase the fear of crime among residents due to the structure of the space and difficulties in maintenance. In particular, women have a higher fear of crime than men and are more sensitive to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to study environmental factors that can lower the fear of crime in standards of women. This study analyzed the difference between the fear of crime for men and women, their crime-related attitudes, and the effect of street environmental factors on the fear of crime for men and women in low-rise multi-family housing areas. For this purpose, we identified the factors affecting the fear of crime in the streets in the low-rise multi-family housing area by analyzing previous studies. We presented various levels of street environmental factors in four categories: building, street space, lighting, and security system, and conducted a photograph-questionnaire survey. The results showed a clear difference in fear of crime and crime-related attitudes according to gender. We also found a clear difference in fear of crime perceived by men and women according to the street environmental factors of low-rise multi-family housing areas. Furthermore, we identified the lack of natural surveillance and insufficient lighting as street environmental factors that women feel higher fear of crime. Lastly, floor signage and sign boards installed for the Safe Trip Home Project for Women can reduce fear of crime for women. These findings can provide fundamental data for designing a safe urban street environment for men and women without fear of crime.
Analysis and study of guidelines for crime prevention environment design of local governments: Focusing on regional governments
Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Jung Sang-Pil , Kim Jin-Wook
Published: September 2022

The occurrence of the top five crimes in Korea has been steadily decreasing over the past decade. The crime rate in this country is low at the global level, but the problem is that as society becomes more stable, the need for safety increases and social anxiety about crime increases. There have been many changes since the introduction of Crime Prevention Environment Design (CPTED) to Korea in the 1990s to spatially prevent such crimes. One of them is to reorganize the crime prevention environment design legally and institutionally. Since the provision of crime prevention environment design was newly established in the Building Act in 2004, crime prevention environment design guidelines for each local government have been newly established. This reflects the urgent need for a design guideline that reflects the characteristics of each region, but it was analyzed that some local governments have not yet created a crime prevention environment design guideline. In addition, the purpose of the guidelines developed by each local government was not clear in some cases, and it was found that there were many insufficient guidelines for use in the field. Safety in the country should be the first policy direction, and in order to respond to this, the crime prevention environment design guidelines should be continuously newly established and revised in the future. To this end, we tried to find problems by analyzing the production status of each local government's crime prevention environment design guidelines.
Immunohistochemical evaluation for integrin binding sialoprotein on healing process of intrabony defect treated by bone sialoprotein
Authors: Jaafar Mayada K. , Kadhim Enas F
Published: September 2022

Background: Bone defect healing is a multidimensional procedure with an overlapping timeline that involves the regeneration of bone tissue. Due to bone's ability to regenerate, the vast majority of bone abnormalities can be restored intuitively under the right physiological conditions. The goal of this study is to examine the immunohistochemistry of bone sialoprotein in order to determine the effect of local application of bone sialoprotein on the healing of a rat tibia generated bone defect. Materials and Methods: In this experiment, 48 albino male rats weighing 300-400 grams and aged 6-8 months will be employed under controlled temperature, drinking, and food consumption settings. The animals will be subjected to a surgical procedure on the medial side of the tibiae bone, with the bone defect repaired with absorbable hemostatic material in the control group (12 rats). The experimental group (12 rats) will be treated with local administration of 30 μl bone sialoprotein fixed by absorbable hemostatic sponge. After surgery, the rats will be  slaughtered at 7, 14, and 28 days (four rats for each period). Results: Immunohistochemical analysis of bone sialoprotein by stromal cells reveal a substantial difference between the bone sialoprotein group and the control group. Conclusion:  The study concludes that local application of bone sialoprotein could be a successful therapeutic treatment for bone injuries; these findings are encouraging for future clinical use.

Authors: Abdulateef Omar F , ÇOBANOĞLU Nevin
Published: September 2022

Background: This clinical trial aims to evaluate the color changes of direct resin composite veneer (DCV) restorations based on spectrophotometric analysis of 4 different types of resin composites between the baseline immediately after polishing and after one year of follow-up. Materials and methods: 28 patients were assessed for eligibility for participation, aged between 18 and 38 years old, who indicated for DCV restorations in anterior maxillary teeth were considered for participation in this study. In total, 25 patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected (6 males and 19 females, mean age: 20.9 at the time of restoration placement), and 3 patients were excluded. Participants were divided into four groups based on the type of composite resin used for restorations. Group 1 nanohybrid Ips Empress direct (Ivoclar Vivadent)](IPS) (13 restorations/6 patients), group 2 microfilled [Essentia (GC cooperation Japan)](ES) (14 restorations / 7 patients), group 3 supra-nano filled [ Estelite ∑ Quick (Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan)](EQ) (17 restorations / 7 patients) and group 4 nanofill [Filtek Ultimate (3M ESPE)](FU) (13 restorations / 5 patients). Baseline Color measurements were performed with a spectrophotometer immediately after finishing and polishing (baseline), and after one year of recall, color change (ΔE) from baseline values and after one year of follow-up of DCVs were calculated according to CIELab color coordinates. For this, a silicone mold was fabricated for each patient and used as a guide for each measurement to standardize the site of the readings. Statistical analysis of the data was applied using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn-Bonferroni posthoc test after controlling the distribution of data in terms of normality with the Shapiro Wilk test. Results: At the end of one year,25 participants(57restorations) were followed up. The mean ΔE of IPS, EQ, and FU composites were higher than the ES composite resin, but there was no statically significant difference between all types of composites (P> 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean ΔL* between any types of composite resin (p> 0.05). There was a significant change in Δa* and Δb* after a one-year recall for all the types of DCV restorations (p < 0.05). Conclusion: After one year of follow-up, the spectrophotometer measurements of direct resin composite veneer restorations, it was concluded no difference between the mean ΔE of ES, IPS, FU, and EQ resin composite. ES (Microfilled hybrid) showed a lower mean ΔE value compared to the other groups. All groups of resin composite showed color changes within clinically acceptable levels after a one-year follow-up.

Published: September 2022

En este artículo se documenta la experiencia de hacer un análisis y rediseño a un proceso crítico en una empresa del sector floricultor. Realizando entrevistas a diferentes empleados que intervienen a lo largo del proceso seleccionado, para así determinar el modo de trabajo actual, posteriormente se plantean mejoras del proceso evaluado, llevando a cabo las fases de ciclo de vida Business Process Management BPM de identificación, análisis y re-diseño. Fomentando una cultura BPM por parte de los colaboradores de la compañía, para de esta forma garantizar el éxito del proyecto, sin embargo, es vital aclarar que la implementación de BPM es difícil de gestionar y comprender para una organización que apenas conoce del tema, por lo que es viable una previa educación y comunicación a todos y cada uno de los empleados vinculados con la empresa, disminuyendo con esto los posibles actos de resistencia al cambio. Por otra parte, el compromiso de un proyecto que plantea la implementación de un ciclo de vida BPM y una cultura BPM es una tarea que parte desde la gerencia; por lo que los altos cargos de la compañía deben estar al tanto del cumplimiento de cada una de las fases de investigación y posterior rediseño del proceso. Con este trabajo de investigación se plantea dar una capacitación de BPM suficiente para permitir que las actividades y metodologías expuestas para el proceso crítico estudiado sean replicadas en nuevos procesos dentro de la empresa.
Timapiprant, a prostaglandin D2 receptor antagonist, ameliorates pathology in a rat Alzheimer’s model
Authors: Wallace Charles H , Oliveros Giovanni , Serrano Peter A , Rockwell Patricia , Xie Lei , Figueiredo-Pereira Maria
Published: September 2022

We investigated the relevance of the prostaglandin D2 pathway in Alzheimer’s disease, because prostaglandin D2 is a major prostaglandin in the brain. Thus, its contribution to Alzheimer’s disease merits attention, given the known impact of the prostaglandin E2 pathway in Alzheimer’s disease. We used the TgF344-AD transgenic rat model because it exhibits age-dependent and progressive Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Prostaglandin D2 levels in hippocampi of TgF344-AD and wild-type littermates were significantly higher than prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin D2 signals through DP1 and DP2 receptors. Microglial DP1 receptors were more abundant and neuronal DP2 receptors were fewer in TgF344-AD than in wild-type rats. Expression of the major brain prostaglandin D2 synthase (lipocalin-type PGDS) was the highest among 33 genes involved in the prostaglandin D2 and prostaglandin E2 pathways. We treated a subset of rats (wild-type and TgF344-AD males) with timapiprant, a potent highly selective DP2 antagonist in development for allergic inflammation treatment. Timapiprant significantly mitigated Alzheimer’s disease pathology and cognitive deficits in TgF344-AD males. Thus, selective DP2 antagonists have potential as therapeutics to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Legal systems of the countries of totalitarian socialism: features of legal genesis and development trends
Authors:   Vologda Institute of Law and Economics of the Federal Penal Service of Russia, Kuznetsova E.V.
Published: September 2022

The essential features of the legal systems of the countries of totalitarian socialism are analyzed, some issues of the formation of the socialist legal system in Russia are investigated, the main approaches to the typology of the legal systems of the countries of totali-tarian socialism are identified: from denial of existence at the present time to recognition as a global legal system. The characteristic features of socialist law are revealed, the close connection between legal genesis and political genesis is noted. The formation of the system of socialist law in Russia was based on a radical rejection of the legislation of the previous era; on the contrary, in some other countries of totalitarian socialism, a gradual change in the regulatory framework is noted. The leading role of ideology in the system of socialist law is characterized, which influenced the content of law, and its forms, and technical and legal features. From the point of view of content, socialist ideology gave rise to a special paradigm of relations in the “personality-state” system, which in one way or another affected all branches of law. The author also draws attention to the specifics of the sources of socialist law, the features of the legal culture of the countries of totalitarian socialism. All of the above allows us to conclude that the socialist legal system exists as an independent one. Despite the reduction in the number of countries included in this legal system after the collapse of the USSR, its preservation is noted, while in its classical form it remained only in the DPRK, other countries should be attributed to the modernized socialist legal system. The transformations concerned mainly socio-economic relations, the main political institutions did not undergo significant changes. An analysis of constitutional legislation and political practice does not indicate a desire to re-build the political and legal system along Western lines.
Organization of the investigator’s
Authors:   East Siberian institute of the MIA of the Russia, Fomina I.A.
Published: September 2022

The main directions of the organization of the work of the investigator are considered, which ensure the creation of the best conditions for high-quality, efficient, complete and rapid disclosure and investigation of crimes, as well as the implementation of current organizational activities with the most optimal expenditure of time, effort, and funds established, that the organizational issues of the investigator’s work and their detailed study allow not only to ensure the timely fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the preliminary investigation, but also to avoid or minimize conflicts that occur in practice during the investigation. The analysis of the main reasons for the inefficient organization of the work of investigators made it possible not only to give the necessary recommendations, but also to highlight their scientific and practical components. It was revealed that in view of the fact that the preliminary investigation is of great importance for the proper administration of justice, then the correct organization of work at the preliminary investigation allows not only to properly carry out functional and official duties, but also to comply with the time frames indicated by the current criminal procedure legislation. The conclusion is made about the relevance of an active approach in organizing the work of an investigator in order to achieve optimal conditions for his work, due to the impossibility of carrying out the tasks assigned to the investigator without successfully fulfilling his professional duties. This is especially true in the current era of digitalization of the activities of preliminary investigation bodies. The investigator must act as a universal manager of planning his time, taking into account modern conditions and the needs of society and legislation. The issues of rational planning and accounting for the effectiveness of the use of working time by the investigator were studied. Recommendations are given for its systematization and control of working time. Emphasis is placed on the need for scientific improvement of the activities of the investigator, the use of forecasting and optimization in planning, which plays an important role in the organization of competent, fast and objective proceedings in criminal cases and audit materials in general. Recommendations are given for the use of special programs for organizing time for the benefit of the investigation, taking into account modern features of the digitalization of society. The main ways and means of improving the technical work of the investigator, which occupies a large place in his activities, are recommended.

Authors:   Irkutsk Law Institute (branch) University of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, Ditsevich Ya.B.
Published: September 2022

As part of the analysis of the practice of preserving World Heritage sites, Yellowstone National Park was chosen as the object of research, including since this specially protected area was on the List of World Heritage under Threat for a certain period of time, and was subsequently excluded from this list. The subject of the study is the practice of legal protection of these World Heritage sites by the mechanisms of the Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Using the original texts of documents and scientific literature in a foreign language, the author examines the main problems that threatened the ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park and the role of the positions of the World Heritage Committee in its protection. The evolution of the Committee’s approaches to the implementation of extractive industry projects at World Heritage sites and in the territories adjacent to them is particularly noted. The role of international professional associations in the formation of such a position (the International Council for Mining and Metals, the International Association of Hydroenegretics) is emphasized, as well as the possibility and necessity of applying these positions to protect the ecosystem of Lake Baikal.

Objetivo.

Identificar la prevalencia del autoinforme de síntomas, del acceso al testeo y del diagnóstico de la enfermedad por el coronavirus del 2019 (COVID-19, por su sigla en inglés), así como su asociación con determinantes sociales de la salud (DSS).

Métodos.

Estudio transversal con una muestra de 11 728 hombres y 12 612 mujeres mayores de 17 años, con base en la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares 2020. Las variables dependientes fueron el autoinforme de síntomas, de acceso al testeo y de una prueba positiva para COVID-19. Las variables independientes fueron la edad, el nivel de educación, la zona de residencia y geográfica, la etnia, el tipo de hogar, el ingreso per cápita, la actividad y el seguro de salud. Se calcularon prevalencias, asociaciones bivariadas y modelos de regresión logística binomial (razón de momios [OR] e intervalo de confianza del 95% [IC95%]).

Resultados.

Del total de personas incluidas, 16% notificó síntomas, 10% un testeo y 4,2% una prueba positiva para COVID-19. Existieron desigualdades en la notificación de síntomas de COVID-19, con una mayor probabilidad en las mujeres cuyos ingresos habían disminuido (OR: 1,7; IC95%: 1,2-2,4) y las personas desempleadas (OR: 1,2; IC95%: 1,1-1,4 para los hombres y OR:1,3; IC: 1,5-1,5 para las mujeres). En cambio, con respecto al acceso a las pruebas diagnósticas, la mayor probabilidad se observó en personas con educación superior (OR: 2.4; IC95%: 1,9-2,9 para los hombres y OR: 2,7; IC95%: 2,2-3,4 para las mujeres), cuyos ingresos se mantuvieron (OR: 1,5; IC95%: 1,3-1,9 para los hombres y OR: 1,7; IC95%: 1,4-2,0 para las mujeres) y del cuartil de ingreso per cápita en el hogar más alto (OR: 2,0; IC95%:1,6-2,5 para los hombres y OR: 1,6; IC95%: 1,3-2,0 para las mujeres). La probabilidad de notificar síntomas, realizarse una prueba y el diagnóstico para COVID-19 aumentó con la edad, para las personas que contaban con seguro de salud y residentes en los llanos; por otra parte, disminuyó para residentes de zonas rurales.

Conclusiones.

Existen desigualdades en el acceso al testeo y en la notificación de síntomas de la COVID-19.
Living Together: Intergenerational Living in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors:   , Kondo Erika
Published: September 2022

In recent years, isolation and loneliness have become prevalent social issues in Aotearoa New Zealand. These issues are becoming more serious as the population ages rapidly and there is an increase in the number of people living on their own.

Up until the early 20th century, it was common for a family, and extended families, to live intergenerationally under the same roof. Studies have indicated that Intergenerational Living (IGL) has many emotional and practical benefits.

However, IGL is not highlighted and discussed in New Zealand. This thesis aims to fill this gap and proposes that IGL can help mitigate social issues caused by isolation and loneliness. I discuss these social issues and suggest design solutions for various household types that focus on different family dynamics, cultural practices, and communal spaces that encourage social interaction.

This thesis follows an iterative research process where Design-led research and Research -led design are integrated to explore the research question, “What are the architectural implications of Intergenerational living in Aotearoa New Zealand?” To answer this question, I investigated three key components of IGL relevant to the New Zealand context.

• How the diverse cultures of New Zealand will play a role in IGL arrangements• How IGL will work in an urban environment where spaces are limited• An IGL framework and specific design solutions
Yes in our Backyard: Tackling Stigma Towards Transitional Housing Through Design
Authors:   , Olivera Celina Camille
Published: September 2022

Transitional housing is temporary supported accommodation for people experiencing homelessness. It is practical and better than other types of temporary accommodation currently offered in New Zealand. However, public resistance is becoming an immovable force that slows or prevents such housing developments from coming to fruition. It is often received with community opposition due to the preconceived stereotypes, stigmatisation and particular attributes of the housing and the people living there. With the rapidly increasing number of people experiencing homelessness and living in inadequate and ill-equipped motel rooms across New Zealand, public resistance to transitional housing is becoming an important and unanswered problem.

In response to this issue, 'Yes, In Our Backyard' explores how design as an outcome can alleviate stigmatisation towards transitional housing whilst being sensitive and responsive to its tenants' social, mental, and physical needs. The research is divided into two parts and employs a design-led investigation. The first part begins with a precis of literature reviews, precedent studies, and surveying transitional housing tenants to develop design strategies, criteria, and a design framework for tackling housing stigmatisation. The second part implements the design framework through two transitional housing designs across two case study sites in Lower Hutt. The designs assess the limitations and successes of the set design framework in different scales and uncover design interventions that could embody the framework.

The two case studies guided by the design framework found that design can alleviate stigma and potentially change perceptions through its programme and physical externalities. As a design framework and exemplary case studies, the outcomes of this research hopes to become an example to designers and developers in how to construct more humane, just, and democratic communities that address the multitude of issues that comes with public opposition.
Vestigial Space: An organic evolution of architecture
Authors:   , Duxfield Joshua
Published: September 2022

The thesis begins with an observation that many successful designs often use the non-functional or unoptimized space formed by the constraints of site or the design itself to drive the rest of the design, the hypothesis being that the challenge of coming up with a solution to an otherwise redundant or unoptimized space always produces novel results. The thesis defines these spaces that drive this phenomenon as “vestigial space” due to their formation occurring during the evolution of architecture.

This thesis aims to prove that by consciously designing using vestigial space – as either a starting point or a catalyst – will arrive at a more novel design. It tests this hypothesis through the study and redesign of the new Managed Isolation and Quarantine Facility (MIQ) typology. It is noted that Covid 19 has tested New Zealand’s capability for human biosecurity both at the border and within the country. With all existing solutions being temporary, the thesis then notes that long-term biosecurity requires new purpose-built answers, making it the perfect area to test this hypothesis.

The resulting covid hotel design is a starting point for discussion around novel means to tackle the issues of human quarantine and an exploration of possible solutions to current problems identified within the government run MIQ facilities. The use of the idea of vestigial space forces the development of unorthodox solutions and created a design with a greater relationship to its context which in this case revolves around the issue of access and isolation.

The thesis then concludes the hypothesis is true and that the use of vestigial space, formed by the constraints of the problem to begin design, can help to ground a project within its context.
Designing for social impact
Authors:   , Anaru Kataraina
Published: September 2022

How can lessons from international development projects help us to achieve social impact through architecture in a domestic context? The aim of this paper is to articulate a generalised framework for designing for social impact that draws on real-world experiences.

Since the 1970s, spatial theorists have been increasingly concerned with the mutually constitutive relationship between space and social outcomes. More recently, humanitarian architecture has emerged as an area concerned with social impact within architectural practice and discourse.

The framework presented here, informed by interviews with architects and project leads with experience in government-funded development projects in the Pacific, aims to translate reflections on specific humanitarian or development projects into a generalised approach to designing for social impact. The framework is made up of five components: investigate, advocate, communicate, innovate and evaluate; and is tested through a live project case study.

The case study brief required the exploration of collaborative possibilities between a Catholic Māori rōpū, a social housing trust and the Archdiocese of Wellington at the site of a pan-tribal marae in Kilbirnie. Reflections on the implementation of the framework through the case study reveal that a community-focused design process can have social impact, even in the absence of built outputs.
Justice Reinvestment: a Vehicle Toward a Self-Determining Model of Justice
Authors:   , Potter Joseph
Published: September 2022

In response to the disproportionate rate of Māori within the New Zealand (NZ) criminal justice system, this thesis critically analyses the role of Justice Reinvestment (JR) to redirect state resources and decision-making abilities to local communities. Against the backdrop of settler-colonialism, criminal justice initiatives and policies have failed to provide significant outcomes for Māori communities, given their entrenchment in Western thought. In response, many have called for a holistic, transformative, community approach to justice, addressed in a Māori way. Therefore, this thesis looks to explore JR as a vehicle towards a self-determining model for Māori communities.

Using a critical methodology, which draws upon Kaupapa Māori theory, this research engaged in eight semi-structured interviews with key Māori thinkers associated with criminal justice. Using a thematic data analysis, the findings suggested balance, self-determination, and progressive transformation were significant considerations in developing a model for Māori communities. To achieve this, the concluding discussion argues for the implementation of a broader, power-sharing relationship between Māori and the Crown. Secondly, it proposes an alternate model which is given effect by key JR tenets, and Māori concepts to achieve a sense of collective balance. In doing so, this framework provides a more holistic, healing approach for Māori communities.
Analysis of Energy Storage Operation Configuration of Power System Based on Multi-Objective Optimization
Authors: Zhou Linyao , Ma Tengfei
Published: September 2022

Driven by the goal of “carbon neutrality,” the increase in use of renewable energy power systems will be inevitable in the future. Uncontrolled output power and random volatility make it difficult to balance power in real time during system operation. Therefore, energy storage is considered to be an effective way to ensure the real-time balance of system power. However, cost of energy storage is relatively expensive. As a solution, energy storage can be used to balance the system power in order to reduce system operating costs. Taking the high proportion of wind power systems as an example, the impact of the “supply side” low-carbon transformation on the economics and reliability of power system operation is explored. In order to solve the problem of power system operation configuration optimization under the background of “carbon neutrality,” this paper establishes a multi-objective programming model.
