The Effects of Utilizing a Genre-based Method to Teach Translation Among English Majors in China
Authors: Weijia Chen , Madhawa Nair Subadrah , Wider Walton
Published: May 2022

A genre-based method informed by Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has been proven effective in enhancing translation quality between different language pairs, but there has been limited research on its effectiveness in enhancing translation quality from Chinese into English. This research aimed to investigate the effects of utilizing a genre-based method to teach translation of non-literary texts from Chinese into English among English majors in China. A quasi-experimental design was adopted in this study and the sample was chosen based on intact groups. The Experimental Group (37 students) was taught using the genre-based method while the Control Group (37 students) followed the conventional method over a span of 12 weeks. A translation pre-test and a post-test were administered to both Groups prior to and after the pedagogical treatment. ANCOVA Test was employed to detect whether there was significant difference between the Experimental Group and the Control Group in their overall mean scores, mean score for delivery of ideational meaning, interpersonal meaning, textual meaning, as well as grammar and mechanics. The findings showed that the Experimental Group scored significantly higher than its counterparts in the five areas in translation. Therefore, it is suggested that the genre-based method be employed as an effective pedagogical tool to improve students’ translation performance in future translation classes.
Short-term Disability Insurance, Return to Work, and the Responsibility of the Orthopaedic Surgeon
Authors: Benson Emily , Dbeis Ammer
Published: May 2022

Millions of Americans are unable to work every day because of illness or injury. Many of these individuals have musculoskeletal issues and are under the care of an orthopaedic surgeon. Short-term disability insurance programs have been developed to address the financial burden experienced by workers who are temporarily without income. Private insurance companies and state-sponsored programs are the two most common forms. Most disability plans require verification from a physician that the worker is unable to work or is able to work in a limited capacity. Quite often, this responsibility falls on the orthopaedic surgeon. Our participation is important and substantial, yet we receive little instruction on the role that we play in this process. This article explains the history and development of short-term disability programs, describes the way they currently function in our country, and clarifies the role of the orthopaedic surgeon in the process.

Authors: Lee Christopher , Kelley Ben , Gurbani Ajay , Stavrakis Alexandra I.
Published: May 2022

The incidence of pertrochanteric hip fractures continues to rise as the aging population expands. Despite advancements in techniques and implants, failure rates remain up to 16% in the literature. The recognition of challenging fracture patterns and the use of meticulous preoperative planning can help to avoid common pitfalls. Understanding fluoroscopic views for reduction assessment and implant placement is instrumental in preventing fixation failure. In addition, adjunctive techniques including the use of a bone hook, cerclage wire, and colinear clamps can facilitate reduction efforts. It is imperative for the surgeon to recognize common pitfalls and to consider a wide array of techniques to manage these challenging and common fractures.

Published: May 2022

Current advancements in spine surgery have led to a recent interest in regional anesthesia for spine surgery. Spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and their combination are commonly used modalities for regional anesthesia in spine surgeries. The successful use of regional anesthesia has led to the emergence of several new concepts such as awake spinal fusion and outpatient spinal surgery. Regarding analgesic techniques, several new modalities have been described recently such as erector spinae and thoracolumbar interfascial plane blocks. These regional analgesic modalities are aimed at decreasing perioperative pain and enhancing early recovery in patients undergoing spine surgery. This narrative review focuses on the techniques, indications and contraindications, benefits, and complications of regional anesthesia in the context of spine surgery.

Published: May 2022

COVID-19 pandemic has affected the educational system worldwide. Policies were created and implemented to guide the schools to offer flexible learning. Nevertheless, its implementation was partly in favor of those on the mainland. So, the author explored the lived experiences of teachers, parents, and learners in Science about their problems encountered, coping mechanisms, and perception of the learning modality in an island school. With this, an in-depth interview was employed to gather the data and was triangulated through observation and focus group discussion. Thematic analysis revealed that the complexity of the topics, the conduct of experiments and its materialization, and the unreliability scores of the learners were Science teachers' problems; their coping mechanisms were teacher-parent communication, additional learning resources, and house-to-house visitation; their perceptions disclosed that the learning modality is difficult. Participants' perception of the modular approach is attributed to their problems and coping mechanisms. Hence, the Department of Education may provide professional opportunities such as seminars, workshops, and training to enhance the skills of the teachers needed and relevant to the current setting of education.

Published: May 2022

This paper is an exploration of the synthetic division in compact form. The main goal was to develop an alternative algorithm on division of polynomials whose dividend is P(x) = a1xn + a2xn−1 + a3xn−2 + ⋯ + anx + an+1 and the divisor is D(x) = b1xm + b2xm−1 + b3xm−2 … + bmx + bm+1 , where n > m, a1 ≠ 0, b1 ≠ 0, and ai′s and bi′s including an+1 and bm+1 are constant. The quotient is in the form Q(x) = q1xn−m + q2xn−m−1 + q3xn−m−2 + ⋯ + qn−mx + qn−m+1 while the remainder is R(x) = r1xm−1 + r2xm−2 + ⋯ + rm−1 + rm. Specifically, this aimed to develop an algorithm using synthetic division in compact arrangement when b1=1 and b1≠1, to provide additional conditions to the problems where the usual synthetic divisions are inappropriate, and to generalize the developed algorithm of dividing polynomials of higher degrees. Basic research was employed in this study. This resulted to the development of alternative algorithm initially for quadratic, cubic and quartic divisors. Also, the conditions on inappropriateness of the usual synthetic division were identified. To wit, (a) the divisor D(x) = b1xm + b2xm−1 + b3xm−2 + ⋯ + bmx + bm−1 is prime or irreducible; (b) in case D(x) is reducible, at least one of the factors of D(x) is irreducible non-linear polynomial; and (c) in case D(x) is reducible and its factors are all linear polynomial (either monic or non-monic), one of them is not a factor of P(x). As a generalized result, the quotient is formulated as Q(x) = q1xn−m + q2xn−m−1 + q3xn−m−2 + ⋯ + qn−mx + qn−m+1 where qn = an − b2qn−1 − ⋯ − bm+1qn−m if b1 = 1 or qn = an−b2qn−1−⋯−bm+1qn−m b1 if b1 ≠ 1 while the remainder is R(x) = r1xm−1 + ⋯ + rm−3x3 + rm−2x2 + rm−1x + rm where r1 = qn−m+2, r2 = qn−m+3, r3 = qn−m+4,…, rm. Hence, the results comprise algorithms, conditions and generalized formula that can be used as alternative method in dividing polynomials with non-linear polynomial divisors.

Published: May 2022

This paper examines the validity of Purchasing Power Parity between Jordan and its major trading partners namely, Turkey, Qatar, Iraq, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Unit root tests, Johansen cointegration test were employed to test the data covering the period of 2000Q1-2020Q4. The unit root tests demonstrated that all variables are integrated of order one. The results of cointegration tests showed that there exists a cointegrating relationship between exchange rate, domestic and foreign price levels for the selected countries does have a cointegration relationship. This suggests that whenever there is a deviation from the equilibrium cointegrating relationship, exchange rate interacts in a dynamic fashion in adjusting to restore long-run equilibrium. As a conclusion, these results provide evidence on Purchasing Power Parity model hold in the long run and the Jordanian economy is integrated with these countries.

Published: May 2022

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic has infected the entire world and causes obsolete morbidity and mortality. While respiratory
symptoms are the most frequently reported, several recent studies revealed that gastrointestinal symptoms are not uncommon. Our
aim in this observational study is to reveal the gastrointestinal symptoms of COVID-19 patients.
Patients and Methods: Data of COVID-19 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms were recorded and retrospectively analyzed during
their hospital follow-up period. 82 patients participated in the study and later on had a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
test. Gender, age, systemic and gastrointestinal complaints, medical and surgical disease history, laboratory results, thorax computer
tomography (CT) findings, and characteristics of gastrointestinal system (GIS) symptoms of patients were also recorded. Data were
analyzed by statistical software.
Results: The most common typical symptoms of COVID-19 patients were cough, anosmia, debility, and shortness of breath. Further,
most of the gastrointestinal symptoms found in COVID-19 patients were nonspecific abdominal pain.
Lymphopenia and elevated liver transaminases were the most common findings of the tests. Patients with diarrhea indicated watery
diarrhea. Two patients also had ileus, they healed spontaneously without surgical intervention. Furthermore, all patients were
discharged without any problems.
Conclusion: Gastrointestinal symptoms are typical in COVID-19 patients. However, these symptoms do not seem to have a detrimental
effect on the progression of the disease. In our study group, there was no need for surgical intervention, but COVID-19 patients with
gastrointestinal symptoms should be treated by a multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: Sharma Rohit , Shaiza Tonrinphi , Lalhriatpuii Marie , Selvi A Tamil , J H Naveena
Published: May 2022

Introduction: The weaning period is a crucial time in an infant’s life since it not only involves a great deal of rapid change for the child, but it is also associated with the development of food preferences, eating behaviors and body weight in childhood, adolescence as well as in adulthood. Weaning too early may cause baby at higher risk of developing digestive disorders and adverse reactions or allergies to certain foods. On the other hand, weaning too late may deprive adequate nutrition and can result in improper growth and development. Objectives: To assess the knowledge & attitude regarding weaning among the mothers of infants. To find out the correlation between knowledge and attitude regarding weaning among the mothers of infants. Setting and participants:The study was conducted among 100 mothers who are having 6-24 months children who are attending Primary Health Centre of Gurugram, Haryana. Methodology: A structured knowledge questionnaire, socio-demographic variable and attitude scale on weaning was used to collect data from 100 mothers. Results: Most of the mothers had heard about weaning practice, 70% of mothers of infants having average knowledge whereas 15% were having adequate knowledge and 15% were inadequate knowledge regarding weaning. 54% of mothers of infants were having favourable attitude, 40% were having moderate attitude and 6% were having unfavourable attitude. The mean knowledge score was 19. The mean attitude score was 53.73.The standard deviation of knowledge of mothers of infants was 4.1008. The standard deviation of attitude of mothers of infants was 15.598. The significant association between the level of knowledge and attitude of the mothers of infants. The correlation coefficients between knowledge and attitude of mothers of infants was 0.12. Conclusion: The study has found that still there are mothers who are unaware about the healthy weaning practices or techniques. Hence it is important to provide parental education regarding weaning in order to reduce the mortality and morbidity rate and to promote the infant nutritional status.
Establishment of a Rice Tiller Number Prediction Model Using Soil Compaction and Days after Transplanting
Authors: Bui Van Huu , Ngo Quang Hieu , Ho The Anh
Published: May 2022

Soil compaction has a real effect on rice growth in the Mekong Delta. The correlation between soil compaction and rice growth (tiller number and plant height) in a paddy field in An Giang province was evaluated in the 2020 Winter-Spring and Summer-Autumn crops using the Pearson's correlation test. The research results show that soil compaction 0-20 cm from the soil surface has a positive correlation with rice tiller number, while the effect on plant height is non-significant. Therefore, a prediction model for rice tiller numbers is constructed using the Curve Fitting application in Matlab software. The obtained prediction models can effectively predict the number of rice tillers from the value of the 0-20 cm soil layer compaction at times under 40 DAT in the two studied crops. This study provides the optimal value of soil compaction (about 229.8 and 337.6 kPa in these crops), which can aid in the utilization of soil tillage for paddy rice cultivation by farmers.

Objective: To characterize the dynamic capabilities of four selected companies in the sugar-energy segment, which incorporate eco-innovations in their businesses.Methodology: Empirical research of a qualitative nature and explanatory approach, involving the multiple case study method, with the proper triangulation of data.Originality: In the literature, there are few studies involving the redesign of industrial parks for eco-industrial parks that provide opportunities for the presence of eco-innovation and the development of dynamic capabilities. This phenomenon characterizes industrial parks that are environmentally oriented in their production processes, whether in their base technology, in raw materials, in production energy, in the structure of the organization and in the institutional structure of the industrial ecosystem.Main results: The cross analysis of the data and information collected indicated the presence of dynamic capabilities aimed at the sustainability of their businesses, based on the fundamentals of energy origin.Theoretical contributions: Using the approach of Tondolo and Bitencourt (2014) it was possible to explain the type of implication of eco-innovations on dynamic capabilities and on business. The scenario of the influence of eco-innovations described on the competitive behavior of the companies studied shows a direct connection with dynamic capabilities, points to the existence of a logical path and allows for important considerations to be established in relation to [a] perception of eco-innovations as a strategic opportunity, [b] find the procedural or technological change that would solve their environmental problems, [c] develop real and latent dynamic capabilities and [d] the systemic solution involved the guided use of the capabilities that characterize the dynamic environment of these companies.Managerial contributions: Knowing the trajectory of environmental innovations introduced in the sugar-energy segment, with the inclusion of biotechnologies developed in the country or adapted to our reality, helps in the configuration of favorable environments for the emergence of eco-innovative solutions that meet the SDG agenda of UN. The identified dynamic capabilities span the three main product categories – sugar, ethanol and energy – and allowed for a strategic realignment supported by a new core business: clean energy.

Una visión alemana de los modelos de ciudad. El caso de Querétaro
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Göbel Christof
Published: May 2022

Por su complejidad, la organización, función y morfología de las ciudades ha sido históricamente reducida a abstracciones gráficas o “modelos” urbanos que intentan dar cuenta de tipologías de ciudad según el espacio cultural de que se trate. Sin embargo, por su naturaleza, las ciudades se encuentran bajo constante cambio y transformación, lo cual da lugar a muchas preguntas acerca de la vigencia y pertinencia de dichos modelos urbanos: ¿Siguen siendo estos modelos una vía para entender la lógica y estructura de las ciudades? ¿La morfología urbana es susceptible de entenderse a través de estos esquemas? ¿Existen modelos urbanos para entender una ciudad “media”? A partir de estos cuestionamientos, el objetivo de este artículo es explorar si los modelos urbanos actuales siguen correspondiendo con la morfología y estructura de una ciudad, y con los cambios ocurridos en ellas en un lapso mayor a diez años, como es el caso de la ciudad de Querétaro.

Abordar el tema de la Teoría de la Restauración Arquitectónica, nos lleva en este número a distinguir tres aspectos primordiales de esta actividad, que se entrelazan permanentemente y que sus límites son difíciles de definir; el primero, son aquellas reflexiones que abordan los tópicos ontológicos y epistemológicos, en donde los documentos son el material de análisis; el segundo trata sobre la difusión y propagación de las ideas, es decir, estas acciones que van abriendo brecha al conocimiento y plantando la semilla del interés; el tercero refiere a la práctica propia de la disciplina en donde la interpretación de la teoría, los avances tecnológicos, el interés histórico y la suma de experiencias nos conducen, a veces, a situaciones nunca antes imaginadas, de donde surgen las incógnitas y los horizontes por explorar.
Angiolo Mazzoni Del Grande, ingeniero italiano en Colombia y las propuestas para una teoría de la restauración arquitectónica
Authors:   Kioto University, Niglio Olimpia
Published: May 2022

cultura de la restauración de la arquitectura en Colombia comenzó a manifestarse en la segunda mitad del siglo xx, cuando el arquitecto Carlos Arbeláez Camacho, profesor de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, instituyó los primeros cursos de historia colombiana del arte. En marzo de 1948, llegó a la misma Universidad el ingeniero italiano Angiolo Mazzoni Del Grande para iniciar, en un primer momento, los cursos de Composición y Urbanismo y, luego, los cursos de Historia de las construcciones y de la arquitectura. La realidad política y social colombiana en aquellos años fue muy compleja y la cultura de la modernización había favorecido la demolición de muchos edificios históricos, tanto civiles como religiosas. En 1902 surgió la Academia Colombiana de Historia, con la finalidad de proteger el patrimonio cultural desde la época prehispánica hasta el siglo xx, pero no tuvo un valor decisional. Con referencia a estas premisas, el presente artículo tiene como finalidad analizar la seis contribución heredada en Colombia por el ingeniero Angiolo Mazzoni Del Grande, tanto como profesor en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia o como profesional de muchos proyectos de restauración en la ciudad de Bogotá. La postura fue extraída de un análisis deductivo a partir de la revisión de algunos artículos, proyectos arquitectónicos y entrevistas.
Barrio “La Candelaria”, Ciudad de Guatemala, Patrimonio Arquitectónico en el olvido

La Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción, ha sido impactada por el cambio climático, debido su ubicación geográfica, las placas tectónicas y características volcánicas del suelo, lo que provoca que el país esté amenazado siempre por trágicos sucesos que ocurren repentinamente y en forma recurrente, por los eventos de origen natural (erupciones volcánicas, terremotos, huracanes, tormentas, inundaciones, deslizamientos). Por la antigüedad del Barrio Candelaria, (ya que es el segundo establecido en el Valle de la Ermita, luego del traslado de la ciudad en enero de 1776), adicional que fue de las áreas dañadas por el terremoto del 4 de febrero de 1976, tiene como consecuencia, que el patrimonio arquitectónico del Barrio Candelaria está constantemente en riesgo, En el siglo XXI, los problemas del patrimonio arquitectónico en todo el país tienen componentes adicionales que lo hacen más vulnerable a la ruina, (deterioro social, económico, político, inseguridad), que sumados al mal estado físico de los edificios, derivado a la falta de mantenimiento, al poco apoyo financiero e interés de las autoridades en aplicar las leyes vigentes para la salvaguardia de los bienes del patrimonio cultural inmueble. Dentro del Barrio de La Candelaria, existen viviendas y vestigios arquitectónicos, los cuales podrían mejorar su estado actual. Guatemala necesita que las instituciones estatales y privadas se unan para velar por la prevención y salvaguardia del patrimonio.
Hermenéutica de la identidad cultural y la arquitectura
Authors:   Universidad Anáhuac, Mota Rodríguez Arturo
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo se analizan las condiciones por las que puede establecerse una perspectiva hermenéutica en la comprensión de la identidad cultural, en su relación con la arquitectura. Tal análisis se realiza en cuatro partes, a saber: primeramente se plantea el problema de la relación entre identidad y cultura; en la segunda y tercera partes, se incluye la hermenéutica como guía de la reflexión de la identidad cultural, que sin ser unívoca, y sin perderse tampoco en la fragmentación de la diversidad equívoca, conserva una vinculación moderada, guiada por la reflexión que posibilita la Hermenéutica Analógica de Mauricio Beuchot; finalmente se argumenta a favor de un pensamiento que justifique la importancia de la hermenéutica de la identidad cultural simbólica para la configuración de la arquitectura como disciplina (lo que contribuye a la expresión de la identidad de una cultura y del sentido de patrimonio para un pueblo o comunidad)
Restoration Of A Unique Urban Esthetic While Avoiding The “Boutique City Conundrum”: The Case Of New Orleans
Authors:   Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, Brad McBride J.
Published: May 2022

Since Hurricane Katrina wrought devastation on the city of New Orleans in 2005, the city has seen a renaissance with the return of many of those who fled the storm, as well as an inward migration of young professionals and entrepreneurs who believe there is opportunity for an attractive future in the region in which they can participate. The city exercises a fascination upon many, in large part due to a Latin-French esthetic accompanied by an artistically creative impulse of African influence. In the following pages, we would like to explore in more detail what has happened in the city since the destruction of 2005, and some of the challenges New Orleans faces, while recognizing its resurrection is in large part due to its beauty as a subtropical, almost Caribbean, port city which is a crucible of distinct cultures, yielding a very appealing mix as expressed through music, literature, architecture and food. And this blend is attracting entrepreneurs, artists and artisans of all types. Without these cultural attributes, it is unlikely that New Orleans would have come back in its present form. On the contrary, it would likely have been reduced to a mere touristic museum of a once existent Creole Culture, a sort of “touristic boutique”.
Visión Urbano-Arquitectónica del paradigma estético y el comercio, Centro Histórico-CdMx
Authors:   Instituto Tecnológico de la Construcción, Valiñas Varela María Guadalupe
Published: May 2022

El objetivo del artículo es mostrar una perspectiva actual del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México y su problemática en relación con el comercio excesivo que, en algunos casos, daña el patrimonio urbano arquitectónico, y a su vez su estética. El problema consiste en investigar este espacio para analizar cómo se articula de manera antagónica la relación comercio-estética en el mismo. Dado que este lugar es el centro de la ciudad y del país, se ha saturado de comercio en sus diferentes modalidades, desde plazas comerciales, pasajes, mercados, hasta llegar al ambulantaje. Estos elementos en su relación inciden en el daño del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México y contribuyen al deterioro de la estética urbano arquitectónica de dicho espacio. Los principales aportes de este trabajo reflejan los diferentes efectos ocasionados por el comercio en detrimento del aspecto estético, que deben ser evaluados como es el despoblamiento, el convertir la vivienda en bodegas, el comercio informal invadiendo el espacio público y el daño a los monumentos históricos en la zona. La utilidad del proyecto se gesta en relación a la dirección que deben asumir las políticas públicas para preservar dicho patrimonio en aras de buscar el bienestar ambiental, social y económico de manera equitativa fortaleciendo el aspecto estético, que persé debe ser una de las características principales del Centro Histórico dada su importancia cultural e histórica, pensando en marcas de ciudad identitarias, que puedan entrelazar armónicamente el comercio y la estética con la participación ciudadana.

Así, Joel Jiménez y Alicia Bracamontes aportan sus hallazgos en torno a la simbología que rodea el sistema de canales en el prehispánico barrio de Moyotlán, (hoy barrio de San Juan en la Ciudad de México), y encuentran que en dicho barrio se encuentra el único registro de una escultura de serpiente asociada a un canal. Por su parte, José Bravo, Carolina Quilodrán y Antonio Sahady, rescatan en su trabajo a los molinos de agua de Pichelimu, en el Chile Central, destacando tanto el valor patrimonial e histórico-cultural de los mismos, como su valor en téminos de sustentabilidad tanto en los materiales empleados en su contrucción, como en su funcionamiento. Los autores proponen que estos molinos sean integrados a los bines patrimoniales chilenos.
Pasado y porvenir de la construcción con bajareque
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Guerrero Baca Luis Fernando
Published: May 2022

El bajareque es una de las técnicas de construcción con tierra que menor atención ha recibido por parte de académicos y arquitectos. Este sistema, que seguramente fue la base de la vivienda de la mayor parte de la población desde las épocas más remotas de nuestra historia, ha pasado desapercibido pese a su probada pervivencia y potencial de aplicación en la edificación sostenible. En la UAM-Xochimilco, desde hace varios años, se estudian diferentes sistemas constructivos de tierra para documentarlos, valorarlos e implementarlos tanto en procesos de restauración patrimonial como en el desarrollo de nueva arquitectura. El presente texto tiene como objetivo mostrar los avances del análisis realizado, desde 2010, en estructuras de bajareque correspondientes a diferentes momentos y regiones; con el fin de reconocer sus cualidades y vulnerabilidad. La información generada a partir de estudios de sitios prehispánicos del norte de México y El Salvador, de viviendas tradicionales de México, Nicaragua y Venezuela, así como estructuras contemporáneas de Ecuador, Chile, Colombia y Perú, demuestran los valores patrimoniales, además del potencial económico y ecológico de la técnica. Se observan sus ventajas para la edificación progresiva, la autoconstrucción, su eficiente comportamiento en diversos climas y su pervivencia, aún en sitios de alta sismicidad, gracias a su flexibilidad. Además, la tierra entramada puede ser aplicada tanto para la realización de muros como en entrepisos y cubiertas si se le dan los tratamientos apropiados para su estabilización y protección superficial.
Nociones de sostenibilidad en el patrimonio vernáculo del Valle del Choapa
Authors:   Universidad de chile, Lobos Martínez María de la Luz
Published: May 2022

En un mundo globalizado, que apunta a ser cada día más sostenible, es necesario observar las experiencias pasadas para lograr concebir soluciones futuras. Basándose en esa premisa, se entiende que las culturas constructivas tradicionales de cada país constituyen una fuente importante de conocimiento, por lo que cabe preguntarse ¿En qué aspectos es la arquitectura vernácula un aporte para la creación de edificios sostenibles? El estudio del Valle del Choapa contribuye a responder dicha interrogante, pues consiste en un oasis situado en la región semidesértica del norte de Chile, en la que hay diferencias geográficas, climáticas y de recursos naturales con los que la población ha confeccionado su hábitat a lo largo de los siglos, generando diversas identidades locales y dejando en evidencia una clara relación entre el medio natural y el construido. Así, esta investigación pone al descubierto un patrimonio cultural edificado e igualmente anónimo; a través del estudio de las construcciones vernáculas de este territorio establece, desde sus tres ámbitos, criterios para la sostenibilidad que son aplicables a la arquitectura contemporánea. Entre ellos destaca la utilización de recursos naturales locales sin poner en riesgo sus ecosistemas, la construcción con mano de obra local, el respeto por las tradiciones y el incentivo de la vida en comunidad; el reciclaje de materiales y la adaptación a las condiciones medioambientales; tanto en el diseño, emplazamiento y soluciones constructivas utilizadas. Dichas características hacen de estas edificaciones un referente vivo de sostenibilidad, tanto para la arquitectura contemporánea como futura.
Criterios de intervención en la rehabilitación del patrimonio industrial arquitectónico
Authors:   Universidad de Málaga, Rodríguez Marín Francisco José
Published: May 2022

En las últimas décadas se han incrementado de forma significativa las actuaciones de recuperación y rehabilitación de la arquitectura industrial. Este trabajo se centra en la arquitectura, y analiza una casuística diversa en distintos países como Inglaterra, Italia, Polonia, España y Portugal, no sólo por su origen geográfico, sino especialmente porque suponen diferentes modelos de actuación. El análisis de estos ejemplos invita a reflexionar sobre los objetivos perseguidos y los resultados obtenidos en función de cómo se conceptualizó cada intervención.
La restauración arquitectónica en un paisaje de minas mexicano: La Región Carbonífera de Coahuila
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juarez, González Milea Alejandro
Published: May 2022

Este trabajo explora varios testimonios de la industria carbonífera de Coahuila, para discutir el posible curso de las intervenciones arquitectónicas en el contexto de lo que hoy se denomina “patrimonialización”. Dado el carácter selectivo de la designación del patrimonio, esto implica identificar situaciones dinámicas que por su aparición durante cortos periodos de tiempo dejaron muchas huellas o vestigios pasajeros, aunque también pocas pero destacadas señales de persistencia. El artículo ofrece una revisión historiográfica de estas huellas y vestigios, para reflexionar sobre el contenido ético que podría tener la restauración, de cara a dos formas de uso del paisaje que compitieron entre sí: la colonización agrícola y la actividad extractiva de carbón. Una premisa es anteponer un compromiso con las generaciones futuras, para que en adelante pueda reflexionarse el impacto de nuestras acciones sobre el medio ambiente. Ello de manera independiente a la construcción de identidades, a las opciones económicas, al cierre de industrias o a la diversificación de la industria cultural.
The Japanese Amateur Textual Production Scene: Activities and Participation in Dōjin Cultures
Authors:   Kobe University, Hernández Hernández Álvaro David
Published: May 2022

This paper focuses on Japanese amateur text producers–often addressed as dōjin–who have been frequently described in contrasting terms: either as isolated, insular individuals who lack social skills or interest in intersubjective interaction, or as communities built on shared mutual interest and emotive bonds. In this paper I argue that a focus on the different orientations of dōjin cultures towards the value of media texts allows us to build a bridge between both of these stances. Along with analysis of texts and appropriative practices, this perspective advocates for the analysis of institutions as a different empirical field in the study of contemporary popular culture. In this paper my goal is to propose a distinction within dōjin cultures between activities and participation, described as two different forms of social action shaped by different orientations towards the value of texts. Both orientations share however an acknowledgment of a certain value in specific texts, which becomes the driving force behind textual production. As I will suggest, the word activities is useful to represent a vertical orientation towards value. This is a kind of orientation that lies at the foundation of individualistic attitudes within the practices of dōjin cultures. In contrast, the word participation helps to characterize a horizontal orientation towards value. This is a kind of orientation that supports collective participation and links individuals into wider groups and networks. Activities and participation are constitutive elements of amateur dōjin culture.

Authors: Imran Muhammad , Ul Haq Shamsheer , Ozcatalbas Orhan
Published: May 2022

Around 1.7 billion adults have no access to transaction accounts in the world. The majority of those are poor and women in rural areas of two developing regions of the world (South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa). Rural areas of these regions are home to the poor and poverty, hunger, unemployment/underemployment is widespread phenomenon. Access to financial services is crucial for economic development. However, poor and smallholder have been neglected by traditional banks for a long time. Microcredit a development model to provide loans to the poor who have no, or little collateral emerged in Bangladesh and has been adopted in many countries of the world. In this chapter, microcredit as a solution to much of the problems of the rural areas has been discussed. Over time there has been a shift in objectives of rural development. Rural development nowadays is about an overall improvement of the human quality of life in terms of economic, social, political, and environmental, issues. Access to microcredit has a positive impact on three dimensions of sustainable rural development; social, economic, and environmental. Microcredit helps in the alleviation of poverty, employment, entrepreneurship, higher productivity from agriculture, women empowerment, gender equality, reduced rural outmigration, better health and education, green entrepreneurship, and adoption of modern technology/inputs in agriculture.

In this digital world, all the digital information transmitted through the wireless channel has a threat to its security. Along with security, encryption speed is also a significant factor in transmitting the data as fast as possible. The pipeline is the technique used to improve the throughput of the encryption process so that the amount of data encrypted per unit time will be increased. In this chapter, the design of the modern SMS4-BSK cryptosystem is briefed, various pipeline designs of SMS4 algorithms are surveyed and the pipeline implementation on SMS4-BSK cryptosystem is analyzed. The SMS4-BSK cryptosystem is robust, fast and has a throughput of 7.4 Gbps. This modern cryptosystem can resist all kinds of cryptanalysis attacks. The pipelining technique is implemented in this cryptosystem to improve the throughput further. The pipelining method is applied in the encryption architecture of the cryptosystem. The pipelined design is implemented in Kintex-7 FPGA. The design achieved a throughput of 9.9 Gbps. The pipeline implementation can be extended to the key scheduling architecture also as both the encryption and the key scheduling use the same architecture. As per the SMS4-BSK algorithm, the keys are generated in the host system to improve the throughput.
