Published: July 2024

Na região nordeste do Brasil, a Amburana cearensis é uma das espécies mais comercializadas para fins medicinais. Sua casca é amplamente usada na medicina popular para tratamento de doenças do trato respiratório. As sementes são empregadas como antiespasmódicas e no tratamento de doenças reumáticas, asma, bronquite, resfriados e gripe, além de terem valor agregado devido ao óleo que possuem. Trata-se de uma árvore que floresce principalmente nas estações secas ao contrário da maioria das plantas do bioma Caatinga. Devido à época de floração incomum, esta espécie é considerada uma importante fonte de pólen e néctar para a fauna local. Sua madeira é usada para confecção de móveis, portas, caixas de alta durabilidade e barris de cachaça de cana-de-açúcar para maturação rápida. Para fins medicinais, A. cearensis destaca-se quanto a sua ampla aplicação farmacológica. Preparos caseiros tratam diversas doenças como gripes, resfriados, bronquite, dores de garganta, problemas intestinais e no tratamento de diferentes quadros de inflamações. A literatura comprova que as substâncias isoladas dessa espécie, como as cumarinas, os glicosídeos fenólicos - amburosídeo (A e B) -, ácido vanílico e ácido (z)-o-cumárico glicosilado apresentam diversas atividades farmacológicas como antibacteriana, antiinflamatória, antioxidante, broncodilatadora e protetora neural. Um dado importante é que a amburana demonstrou ser isenta de toxicidades em doses terapêuticas. Desde o início dos anos de 1980, estudos químicos e farmacológicos têm sido realizados, visando o aproveitamento desta planta para fins medicinais. Nesse sentido, o presente capítulo de livro visou: (I) buscar na literatura as principais indicações terapêuticas da A. cearensis; e descrever os principais compostos químicos e partes da planta usada (II).

Published: July 2024

This study focuses on the synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) from bovine bones through calcination and subsequent combination with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) using the Cold Sintering Process (CSP). The CSP, operating at lower temperatures than conventional methods, aims to preserve the bioactivity and biocompatibility of HA, crucial for biomedical applications. The research investigates the influence of HA composition, sintering temperature, and PVA content on the porosity and compressive strength of the HA-PVA composite. The Hydroxyapatite powder, obtained from calcinated bovine bones, exhibits irregular shapes and sizes with a maximum grain size of 10µm, confirmed by SEM analysis. XRD analysis validates the successful production of Hydroxyapatite, showcasing characteristic peaks. The HA/PVA composite's XRD pattern indicates the dominance of HA, with PVA present as well. The study produces 27 specimens through the CSP, varying HA composition and sintering temperature. Porosity increases with higher HA content and sintering temperature, attributed to the role of PVA in binding HA particles. Compressive strength rises with increased HA content, emphasizing HA's role in enhancing mechanical strength. The presence of porosity is mitigated by a strong bond between HA and PVA, contributing to structural integrity. This research provides insights into tailoring HA-PVA materials for biomedical applications, considering controlled porosity and mechanical strength. The CSP, with its unique advantages, emerges as a promising method for developing customized materials to meet diverse biomedical needs.

Published: July 2024

Throughout history, cities have been hubs for the development of new philosophical, cultural, political, economic, andtechnological ideas, thereby enhancing the quality of life for their inhabitants. However, the concentration of populationsand activities in cities coupled with other socio-economic and political factors have engendered significant challenges,affecting vulnerable social groups in particular, and giving rise to urban marginalities. This study explores the historicaltrajectory of urban marginalities in Western cities. It examines their diverse manifestations from antiquity to the presentday. This is carried out using a historical approach and focusing on three pivotal aspects that mark the evolutionaryexpansion of the Western city. It looks into how the physical drivers for the development of the city can give rise to itsphysical and social impact, which urban marginalities are part of. The research aims to elucidate the multifacetedmechanisms underlying the emergence of urban marginalities, and the many forms under which they manifestedthemselves since ancient times. Such research highlights the importance of understanding the historical context of citieswhen addressing their contemporary urban challenges.

It is estimated that the nearby city of Ververit has a history older than Çatalhöyük. The remains ofthe city wall, found to the east of Asartepe, are from the Hellenistic Period and indicate the presence of a large templein that era. Additionally, the wide plain to the west of Asartepe, referred to as the marketplace by the villagers, isbelieved to have been the city's agora during the Hellenistic period. Interaction between the ancient settlement andthe current one is observed, with many building materials from the ancient period being used in current buildings.Many of these materials contain decorative elements and embellishments from the Hellenistic period. Historicalresearch has been conducted on this region, which holds significant cultural depth, comparing the settlement fromancient times to the present day. Evaluations have been made considering the relationship between a Hellenisticperiod city and a modern city, with a focus on urban conservation.

The article explores the unique nature of pre-war Greek agricultural prisons, arguing that these settlements offered aprogressive spatial condition to the enclosed communities. In contrast to Foucault's model of central control andisolation, these prisons incorporated agricultural work and open-air spaces, aiming for rehabilitation through: a)connection with the natural environment and b) assigning responsibilities to the inmates. As Yi-Fu Tuan suggests, wecross-examine conceptual, built, and experienced spaces to explore "...how abstract ideas develop out of those givendirectly to the body...". Following a qualitative research method, we examine three aspects of prison space: spacedefined by the legal system, the built space, the lived space. We present findings on the built structures and lifewithin them, concluding with how culture of enclosed societies contributes to a state's legal and political civilization.We highlight these places as valuable heritage deserving further interdisciplinary investigation by architecture,criminology and anthropology.

Civil engineers face a significant challenge in assessing seismic vulnerability due to the complex of soil-pile-structureinteraction system. This research aims to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of individual piers under various seismicground motions. Factors like sand type, pile diameter, pier height, and mass placed were investigated for their impacton the seismic fragility of concrete piers. Using incremental dynamic analysis with a beam on a nonlinear Winklerfoundation model, the study compared the effects of near and far ground motions. Results from the dynamic analysisand fragility assessment demonstrated the effects of the parameters above-mentioned on the design of fragilitycurves, as well as its relationships to fundamental period of structural system.

Published: July 2024

In a developing world today, elderly citizens need extra care and attention. Still, at a point, family members may notbe able to provide proper attention to their older ones for various reasons, which may include busy schedules, theskill required, and equipment; hence, a care home becomes an option that can provide a sustainable livingenvironment for the older people. This paper describes socialization as a major problem faced by the elderly in carehomes, which causes isolation and progresses into depression; hence, it proposes a paradigm shift in design thatgoes beyond the boundaries of a hospital or an isolation center. The architectural solutions propose creating a safespace where the elderly can make new connections and rediscover themselves by integrating a vocational schoolwith the elderly care homes that meet the social needs of elderly citizens, providing them with an adaptive andconducive space. Identifying the needs of elderly people is one of the factors considered very important, as it isnecessary to understand that the care of elderly people can be a bit challenging because they become very sensitiveas they age.

Published: July 2024

Infrastructure is closely linked to socio-economic development and research based on historical data has shown asignificant positive association between economic growth and infrastructure in the long run. Infrastructuredevelopments come with a range of social and economic benefits, however, it is not a panacea without side effects,having a range of negative effects on the environment owing to the fact that it is embedded in the natural system.Using the deductive approach to qualitative analysis, an extensive review of the literature was conducted. Theresearch determines several factors that can be considered in mitigating the adverse effects of infrastructuredevelopment on the environment such as the use of green building and low-carbon infrastructure, sustainablebuilding practices, renewable energy, waste management during construction and environmental legislation.Decision-making should therefore be guided by these factors established and incorporated into public policiesnecessary to promote sustainable economic development and environmental protection.
A Critical Enquiry of Material Ageing in Interior Architecture
Authors: Khimesara Saumya , Shah Amal
Published: July 2024

Psychology and architecture are seen in intersections whenever the old buildings and spaces are repurposed. Thedirect connection seen is through the materiality of those spaces. This raises the curiosity to explore theamalgamation of a material's functionality and aesthetic values with its purpose and enduring existence, evenafter decay, as seen through historical perspectives. This study aims to blend the material's purpose and idea ofexistence with its functionality and aesthetic, considering the longevity of its impact. Investigating the valuecreation of old materials, the research contributes to sustainability and evokes a sense of nostalgia, highlightingthe material's unique connection with history. Focused on interior architecture, the study challenges theperception that ageing diminishes a space's value, advocating for positive emotional responses from occupants.By examining global adaptation projects, particularly in Bombay, India, the research underscores the emotionaland historical significance of aged materials, emphasising their role in enhancing user experience and well-being.The study contributes valuable insights for designers seeking to leverage the enduring value of ageing andweathering materials, promoting sustainability and preserving historical connections in design approaches.

Published: July 2024

This paper analyses the essential role of mixed-use streets in contemporary cities and addresses their inherentissues. The study highlights the national policy focus on mixed-use streets, which can improve sustainability,economic development, social integration, and quality of life. Due to divided responsibilities, traffic prioritization,and changes in the commercial sector, mixed-use streets are sometimes neglected. The study reviews mixed-usestreet patterns in Okhla, an unplanned, high-density area; examining how population density and urban activitiesaffect streets, focusing on its imprecise definition and seeming popularity. An extensive case study reveals the lackof specific zoning standards, poor planning provisions, and low network density along with traffic congestion, spaceencroachment, and a lack of public spaces. The author proposes merging multivariable densities and using networkdensity to portray urban structure. The findings contribute to sustainable urban development discussions and helppolicymakers and planners improve mixed-use spaces' livability and functionality.
