Published: March 2023

Isla del Sol es un barrio de la localidad de Tunjuelito que se ha formado a través de esfuerzos conjuntos de personas, en su mayoría, desplazadas por el conflicto armado, quienes con el paso del tiempo fueron asentándose en este territorio. De acuerdo con lo identificado en los recorridos, el proceso de cartografía social y entrevistas a la comunidad, se presentan diferentes problemáticas socioambientales, como, por ejemplo, contaminación del aire generada por las empresas ubicadas cerca del barrio y el parque automotor de La Sevillana, además de su cercanía con el río Tunjuelo que presenta riesgo de inundación en temporada de lluvias y la disposición inadecuada de residuos sólidos por parte de la comunidad. De igual forma, existe alta presencia de población migrante en el barrio, lo que genera hacinamiento en las áreas habitacionales, escenarios de inseguridad, consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) e informalidad, entre otros aspectos socioculturales que demandan mayor atención en los comportamientos y los abusos con el territorio. Por las razones anteriores, las acciones de la estrategia de Gestión del Cuidado Comunitario están enfocadas en dar alcance a las necesidades en salud pública del territorio y a las problemáticas identificadas durante el proceso; con la implementación de la actividad Hola Vecino se fortalecieron hábitos de vida saludable y se promovieron prácticas sostenibles y de salud, en busca de disminuir los riesgos en salud e incidir positivamente en la calidad de vida de la comunidad del barrio.

Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of floor surface on lameness score and walking speed of crossbred cows under loose housing system. Crossbred cows (24) were selected and randomly assigned into one of the four groups (6 in each group) having different combination of flooring surface viz. T0-Concrete floor (in covered feeding area) + Brick paved (in open area), T1-Concrete (in covered feeding area) + Sand bed (in open area), T2- Rubber mat (in covered feeding area) + Sand bed (in open area) and T3- Rubber mat (in covered feeding area) + Brick paved (in open area). All experimental animals were scored for lameness using â€œVisual Lameness Scoringâ€ (VLS) system on 1-5 scale. Walking speed of cows was also observed during experimental period. Lameness scores were significantly different between the groups. Lameness score were greater for cow housed in T3 and T0 group. However, lameness score were lower in cows housed in T1 and T2 group. Walking speed differed significantly between treatments and was greater in T2 and T1 than T3 and T0. Cow housed in T0 and T3 group walked slower compared to T1 and T2 group. Further, proportionally greater numbers of cows with higher lameness score were found in T0 and T3 group. It can be concluded that equipping open area with sand bed with either concrete or rubber mat in covered area improved animal welfare in term of decreasing lameness. While providing rubber mat alone with brick was comparable to concrete and brick.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out for 35 days to assess the effect of selenium (Se)-yeast feeding on amelioration of simulated heat stress and reproductive performance of sheep. Twelve adult Malpura ewes were divided into two groups viz., G1 (n=6, control) and G2 (n=6, Se-yeast supplemented). The ewes of G2 were provided with Se at 0.3 mg/kg feed dry matter (DM) through Se-enriched yeast (Saccharomyces cerevesiea). The animals were stall fed individually with a diet consisting of 70% roughage (Cenchrus ciliaris) and 30% concentrate. All the ewes were estrus synchronized using intra-vaginal progesterone sponges+eCG protocol. To simulate heat stress, the ewes were kept inside the psychometric chamber and were exposed to different temperature at different hours of the day. Supplementation of Se-yeast had no significant effect on physiological response. Higher glucose and a lower protein level was found in the Se-yeast supplemented group under heat stress. Plasma metabolic hormone and cortisol level was higher in G1 as compared to Se-yeast supplemented ewes. Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx) was 10.62% higher in G2 as compared to the G1. Estrus percentage and estradiol level was higher in G2 as compared to the G1. From the findings of the present experiment, it is pertinent to conclude that the level of Se enriched yeast fed in this study have limited potential to ameliorate heat stress. However, different doses of Se could be tried in sheep to improve resilience against heat stress.

Published: March 2023

A blend of plant parts containing fruit of Phyllanthus emblica (amla), seed of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) and seed of Trachyspermum ammi (ajwain) mixed in equal proportion (BP) was tested at 0, 10 and 20% of the substrate along with 0, 2.5 and 5% of sodium sulphate (S) for their effects on in vitro methane production and feed fermentation. Inclusion of combination of BP with S did not affect production of total gas, methane and feed digestibility. In vitro gas production was not influenced by any level of S, whereas, it increased linearly with increasing level of BP. Inhibition pattern of methane production (ml/g DM) was similar by inclusion of both S and BP and the inhibition was 21.3% by inclusion of BP20S5. In vitro true digestibility of feed was significantly increased by inclusion of both S and BP and was 10.9% higher with BP20S5 as compared to control (BP0S0). Total volatile fatty acids werenot affected by any of the treatments, whereas, acetate was increased and propionate and butyrate were significantly reduced resulting in increased acetate to propionate ratio. Ammonia production was not affected by inclusion of neither S nor BP. It may be summarized that the blend of amla, ajwain and fennel and sodium sulphate can be explored as feed additive to mitigate methane production with an additional benefit of improvement in feed digestibility.

Authors: PARMAR PANKAJ , KHAMRUI KAUSHIK
Published: March 2023

The present study was envisaged to develop a process of production of herbal ghee from buffalo milk using arjuna extract. Three different types of extracts viz. commercial aqueous arjuna extract powder, aqueous extract and alcoholic extract prepared in laboratory from arjuna bark were tried. It was observed that, amongst the three types of extracts when added at the level of 4% of the fat taken, ghee prepared using alcoholic extract was found superior. While selecting the level of alcoholic extract for maximizing the retention of phytosterol in ghee, it was found that there was no significant difference in overall acceptability scores of ghee samples prepared by adding the extract @ 5%, 6% and 7% by the weight of fat taken. Phytosterol content was found to be the highest, i.e. 0.38 and 0.47 mg/g when cream and butter were used as fat source at 7% level of addition of alcoholic extract, respectively. Based on the above results, the optimized product was the one that was prepared by addition of 7% alcoholic arjuna extract using creamery butter method. The chemical composition of the optimized product was found to be fat 99.92%, moisture 0.08%, free fatty acid 0.22% oleic acid, Butyro Refractometer reading 41.5 at 40°C, Reichert-Meissl value 31.5 and phytosterol content 0.39 mg/g.

Published: March 2023

This study investigated physiological, biochemical and endocrine responses along with nutrient intake and growth of goat kids kept on either wooden slatted or soil floor in hot-dry weather conditions. Twenty kids (age 208 ±1.7 days; live weight 26.2±0.6 kg) were divided into two equal groups and allotted to either soil or slatted floor. After 14 days of adaptation, physiological responses, serum metabolites, enzymes and hormones were estimated at weekly intervals for 28 days. All the physiological responses increased from morning to afternoon with increase intemperature-humidity index. Type of flooring did not significantly influence physiological and growth variables. The serum biochemical, enzyme and endocrine responses were similar between both the groups. Due to lack of significant effect of slatted floor on growing kids, the provision of such floor in goat shelter could be appropriate only if it is economically feasible in terms of initial inputs and labour cost in hot-dry tropical environment.
The mixture effect of propyl paraben and bisphenol A on the uterotrophic response in the ovariectomized rats after oral administration
Authors: Park Juyoung , Lee Handule , Choi Dal-Woong , Park Kwangsik
Published: March 2023

Recent studies reported bisphenol A (BPA) and propyl paraben (PrP) are found in human urine, blood, and breast milk samples as well as in food, packaging, socks, and clothes. This means that the two chemicals co-exist in consumer products, and humans are exposed simultaneously to the mixture chemicals. However, the studies on the mixture effects of the two chemicals on human health are not enough. This study was designed to elucidate the effects of orally administered PrP, BPA, and their mixture effects on the uterotrophic response using ovariectomized rats. In addition, the correlation between the uterotrophic response and tissue concentrations of the two chemicals was studied to investigate whether one chemical has any effect on the absorption, distribution, or excretion of the other chemical. Histopathology, hematology, and plasma biochemistry analysis were also performed to evaluate the chemicals’ toxicological effects in the treated rats. Although a significant increase in uterus weight (absolute and relative) was observed in the positive chemical (17β-estradiol) treated group, there were no statistical differences in the uterus weight between the vehicle control and the chemical-treated groups. However, a slight increase in the endometrial glands and a change in the cuboidal to columnar epithelium of the endometrial epithelium were observed in the mixture-treated group. There was no significant toxicity in all treated groups by the hematology and plasma biochemistry analysis results. The results of tissue distribution showed that BPA was mostly detected in the liver while PrP was not detected in most tissues, and the BPA level was higher when the rats were treated with PrP than without PrP, suggesting that PrP may increase the absorption of BPA after oral administration.

Authors: Rajendran Thanendrann , Abdul Rahman Norhana
Published: March 2023

In most tropical countries, especially in Asia, where afflicted nations included the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, agricultural waste was disposed of in enormous amounts. Poorly designed garbage disposal techniques are one of the biggest environmental ills. Environmental conservation efforts have been severely hampered by the disposal and management problems posed by wastes produced by industrial and agricultural operations. This study was carried out to find optimal replacement of coconut shell taken at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing by conducting mechanical properties tests. In this investigation, coconut shell concrete was produced by replacing coarse aggregate with coconut shells by 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of the total coarse aggregates. The results suggest that 10% replacement of coconut shell produces the optimum value for coarse aggregate replacement based on the compressive strength and Schmidt rebound hammer test results.

Published: March 2023

Rainfall is very important elements in slope failure. Rainfall infiltrating into the slope is the main factor that triggers slope failure. The infiltration of the surface water affects both resisting and disturbing components of the slope which in turn decrease the slope stability factor. Shear strength parameters are very important for design slope and foundation. In this study, Consolidated Drained (CD) triaxial test were conducted on granitic residual soil specimens, both under saturated and unsaturated conditions with different moisture content at 16%, 17% and 18%. While, the Soil Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) were developed using the pressure plate extractor apparatus and gives a result of residual suction, 148 kPa which equivalent to maximum apparent cohesion, 17 kPa. Therefore the shear strength variation with respect to suction was found to be non-linear for the entire test in accordance to the curved surface envelope soil shear strength model (CSESSM).

Security plays an important role in our everyday lives be it in a personal, residential, commercial or enterprise setting. In the traditional home security setting, user can retrieve the video captured from the closed-circuit television (CCTV) when needed. However, user will not be notified when there is intruder. This disadvantage can be overcome by inculcating the idea of Internet of Things (IoT) into home security system. Smart home security system can integrate various types of sensors such as motion sensor, humidity sensor and temperature sensor together with electrical appliances in house such as CCTV camera, lights and fans. Smart home security system is capable to send notification to alert user if detected any house scenario which is abnormal so that user can act immediately upon receiving the notification for appropriate action. This helps to ensure the security of house. There are various home security systems proposed by past researchers. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on the proposed designs and to analyse and compare the results to determine the challenges and prospect in this field of technology.

Exploring Intersectional Identities and Geographic Origins in Ancient Nubia at Tombos, Sudan
Authors: Buzon Michele , Guilbault Kari , Simonetti Antonio
Published: March 2023

As part of an intersectional investigation of changes in identity and lifeways during sociopolitical changes in the ancient Nile Valley, strontium isotope analysis has provided a useful entry for understanding local practices. At the site of Tombos, human residential mobility was spurred through Egyptian imperial actions in Nubia during the New Kingdom period (~1450–1050 B.C.). During this period, immigrants and locals interacted and influenced cultural symbols displayed in burials with migration ending with Egyptian occupation. Through the examination of multiple overlapping identities and experiences, patterns emerge. Isotopically identified locals are exclusive in tumulus graves and flexed body position (all skeletally sexed as female), consistent with the surrounding region.

However, locals also used materials and practices associated with the colonizers, including pyramid, chapel, and shaft tomb types; extended body position; coffins; and artifacts. These variations provide evidence of simultaneous experiences of multiple social statuses at Tombos. The findings provide fruitful avenues to explore motivations for varying identity expression related to such ideas as family traditions, religious beliefs, gender dynamics, deliberate signaling, and the concept of foreignness. Theoretical and intersectional approaches to isotope analyses also necessitate a reassessment of methodological, analytical, and ethical issues associated with research.

Authors: Devi S. , Rajalakshmi M.
Published: March 2023

Due to technological development, social media platforms like forums and microblogs allow people to share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The organization, shopping groups etc. has major discussions regarding their business advertisements and product reviews. Also, there are certain followers for particular person or group due to their interests. Here the major issue is to know who or which group in social media is more influenced. The social media analysis needs to perform for identifying influenced person in the social media. The influencer node/person detection in a certain community is already done using greedy algorithm, genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization, cuckoo search algorithms. These existing techniques takes more time for diffusion and accuracy in prediction is not satisfied by users. To overcome this issues, in this research influencer node is identified using optimized Girvan Newman Cuckoo Search Algorithm (GNCSA). First Grivan Newman is used to identify the community and perform community detection. Cuckoo search algorithm uses host bird strategy in finding cuckoo eggs in his nest. Based on the centrality measure it decides whether the node is an influencer or not. This paper proposed Influencer detection by forming community first and measures angular centrality using optimized Girvan Newman cuckoo search algorithm. Our proposed work GNCSA gives a better accuracy rate for the data sets of Dolphin 0.89, for Facebook dataset got 0.93, Twitter data set got 0.94 and for YouTube data set 0.92, karate club and football got 0.91. This proposed work increases the intracommunity of the social network and improves its performance accurately by detecting the influencer in the social network.

Authors: Zhao Chenyang , Cao Heling , Lv Pengtao , Chu Yonghe , Wang Feng , Liao Tianli
Published: March 2023

The graph neural network (GNN) based approaches have attracted more and more attention in session-based recommendation tasks. However, most of the existing methods do not fully take advantage of context information in session when capturing user’s interest, and the research on context adaptation is even less. Furthermore, hypergraph has potential to express complex relations among items, but it has remained unexplored. Therefore, this paper proposes an adaptive context-embedded hypergraph convolutional network (AC-HCN) for session-based recommendation. At first, the data of sessions is constructed as session hypergraph. Then, the representation of each item in session hypergraph is learned using an adaptive context-embedded hypergraph convolution. In the convolution, different types of context information from both current item itself and the item’s neighborhoods are adaptively integrated into the representation updating of current item. Meanwhile, an adaptive transformation function is employed to effectively eliminate the effects of irrelevant items. Then, the learned item representations are combined with time interval embeddings and reversed position embeddings to fully reflect time interval information and sequential information between items in session. Finally, based on learned item representations in session, a soft attention mechanism is used to obtain user’s interest, and then a recommendation list is given. Extensive experiments on the real-world datasets show that the proposed model has significantly improvement compared with the state-of-arts methods.

Published: March 2023

As a hybrid company form between a corporation and a partnership, the partnership limited by shares moves between non-transparent and transparent taxation. It has a special position in the domestic dualism of corporate taxation. This impacts the international tax law as well. The study examines the effects of cross-border activities of a partnership limited by shares and its shareholders under international tax law on the basis of inbound and outbound constellations and analyses the application of uni- and bilateral regulations for avoidance of double taxation. The result is an “attribution model” which, in the author’s opinion, represents a system-compliant solution for the partnership limited by shares in a cross-border context.
What is the Profitability of a Photovoltaic Installation in France for an Individual?
Authors: Lagarde Quentin , Beillard Bruno , Mazen Serge , Leylavergne Julien
Published: March 2023

The energy transition will require the use of renewable energy resources that will allow us to reach our decarbonization objectives. In addition to states and institutions, individuals have an important role to play in this transition, particularly with the installation of photovoltaic panels. But for individuals to use this source of energy, they must be guaranteed a financial return that encourages them to take the plunge. Several companies, in a commercial approach, guarantee returns on investment after 2–3 years for any installation. But is the financial profitability always guaranteed? In France, several types of photovoltaic installations are possible, total resale and self-consumption. For each one, the profitability will vary and depends on many parameters such as the initial and daily investment, the irradiation, the electricity buy-back price, and the consumption. This paper explains the calculation methodology for both typologies and shows that currently, in most cases, a self-consumption installation is more profitable than a full resale installation but is far from obtaining the returns on investment predicted by the commercials. If self-consumption is more profitable today, this is due to the fact that the investment (initial or annual) is less important, and that the price of electricity becomes more and more expensive while at the same time the price of resale decreases from year to year.

Published: March 2023

The outbreak of dengue results in surge of patient in the hospital. Dengue without warning signs are usually treated on outpatient basis while those with warning signs presents to emergency and are treated as inpatient basis. Severe dengue is treated in intensive care unit. This creates the challenge in managing the surge from outpatient to intensive care unit, often exceeding the capacity to treat. A hospital needs disaster management plan to cope with this surge of the patient. The disaster plan includes, hospital incident command system, networking plan, surge capacity, and emergency system. Beside this, a dynamic protocol needs to be implemented as sensitivity and specificity of the test kit remains same however, the predictive value of screening question increases as more and more population get affected. Therefore, primary or screening triage plays important during the surge of the patient.

Authors: S Biswas
Published: March 2023

Background: The breast is affected by several diseases, including developmental, inflammatory, and neoplastic. While benign breast neoplasms are usually more common, breast cancer is the most common nonskin cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women after lung cancer in the world. Objective: The review aimed to assess the histopathological diagnosis of breast lesions over a period of 9years Methods: This was a retrospective review of eight hundred and fourteen histopathologic cases of breast lesions accessed through laboratory records of all breast lesions cases seen. The demographic data were obtained and the patient’s histology slides were reviewed. The tumors were classified according to the WHO International Classification of breast tumors and Malignant breast tumors were graded according to the Nottingham grading system. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The majority of breast cancer cases were seen in patients below 40 years, malignant cases were predominant in older age groups (40 – 59 years; 57.4%, 60 years and above; 23.3%) and malignancy was significantly associated with age group, p-value < 0.05. The prevailing neoplasm was Benign type (68.3%) while malignant neoplasm accounted for 30.2% and invasive ductal carcinoma (89.1%) was most prevalent. Moreso, the majority were in grade 2; 152 (76.8%) using the Nottigham grading system. However, the commonest benign neoplasm was fibroadenoma (53.7%) followed by fibrocystic change (20.1%). Conclusion: Breast lesions are common in this environment. Benign breast neoplasms are commoner than malignant diseases. One in three of every sub-Saharan woman diagnosed with malignant breast lesion may not survive five years post-diagnosis. The prognosis of breast malignancies in sub-Saharan is poor due to late Presentation, ignorance and poverty.

Enhancing Hybrid Spectrum Access in CR-IoT Networks: Reducing Sensing Time in Low SNR Environments
Authors: Hlapisi Nthatisi Margaret
Published: March 2023

The current utilization of the licensed spectrum band is not optimal. the abundance of Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets could lead to congestion in the unlicensed spectrum band. A potential solution is to integrate cognitive radios into IoT devices, specifically by developing CR-IoT (cognitive-radio-enabled IoT) devices that leverage the hybrid spectrum access (HSA) technique to access the licensed spectrum band and employ energy detectors for spectrum sensing. While HSA can enable high data throughput for CR-IoT networks, environments with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) may experience reduced performance. Particularly, in low SNR environments with SNR values ranging from -20dB to -24dB, the high level of noise uncertainty can cause the energy detector to spend more time sensing, which results in a significant reduction in transmission time and overall throughput. In this study, a novel approach is presented to address the challenge of noise uncertainties on the energy detector by implementing an adaptive sensing threshold. The simulation outcomes reveal that the proposed technique can significantly improve the throughput in scenarios characterized by low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), with a maximum enhancement of up to 28%. This innovative approach can pave the way for more robust and efficient energy detectors in the presence of noise uncertainties .

Geology of the Sacramento Mountains escarpment, Otero County, New Mexico
Authors: Pray Lloyd C.
Published: March 2023

The Sacramento Mountains constitute a sharply asymmetrical cuesta at the eastern edge of the Basin and Range province in south-central NM. The escarpment rises abruptly for more than a mile above the desert plains of the Tularosa Basin. From the crest, near 10,000 ft, the surface slopes gently to the Pecos River, 100 mi to the east and 6,000 ft lower.

The rugged west-facing escarpment has been carved in an uplifted fault block composed largely of sedimentary rocks having an aggregate thickness of about 8,000 ft. Tertiary sills and dikes of intermediate composition are of local importance. The bedrock strata range in age from late Precambrian to Cretaceous, but almost the entire sedimentary section is of Paleozoic age. The strata are largely the product of marine deposition on a stable shelf area. Most of the pre-Pennsylvanian formations are thin and laterally persistent across much of southern NM, and many are separated by disconformities. The Pennsylvanian and Permian units are thicker, and show greater lateral variability as a result of more tectonic instability and diastrophism than prevailed earlier.

Kimya Eğitimine Teknolojinin Entegrasyonu
Authors: Çolak Yazıcı Senem
Published: March 2023

Kimya bilimi soyut ve somut kavramları bir arada bulunduran, yaparak yaşayarak öğrenme ilkesine dayanarak öğrencilerin laboratuvar ortamında deney yaparak kalıcı öğrenmenin sağlandığı bir bilim dalıdır. Günümüzde birçok okulda laboratuvar olmaması, öğretmenlerin müfredatı yetiştirme endişesi ile deneylere yer verememesi veya kimyasalların pahalı olması gibi birçok nedenden dolayı öğrenciler deney yapamamakta, uygulamalı anlatım gereken bazı konular öğretmen merkezli düz anlatım yöntemi ile işlenmektedir. Teknolojinin eğitim dünyasında yerini alması ile birlikte eğitim amaçlı hazırlanan web 2.0 araçları, animasyonlar, etkileşimli sanal laboratuvarlar ve yapay zekâ uygulamaları soyut kimya kavramlarının somutlaştırılması konusunda kullandığımız ders materyallerinde biri haline gelmiştir. Farklı kullanım amacına yönelik hazırlanan web 2.0 araçları ile bir kimya konusunun teorisi görsel materyallerle zenginleştirilerek öğrenci ile paylaşılabileceği gibi aynı web 2.0 aracı ile konu içeriğine uygun bir oyun hazırlanarak kalıcı öğrenmenin sağlanması amaçlanabilir, yapay zeka kullanan araçlar vasıtası ile laboratuvar ortamına taşınamayan deneyler sanal ortamda etkileşimli olarak öğrenciye sunulabilir ve bu sayede dikkat çekme, keşfetme, açıklama, derinleştirme ve değerlendirme olmak üzere bir konunun anlatılmasında yer verdiğimiz tüm aşamalarda teknolojiden yararlanabiliriz. Bu doğrultuda web 2.0 araçlarını tanımak, ihtiyaca göre konu anlatımına entegre edebilecek yöntemleri bilmek ancak eğitime teknolojinin entegrasyonu ile mümkün olmaktadır. Bu bölümde web 2.0 araçlarının kimya eğitiminde kullanılmasının yanı sıra eğitime teknoloji entegrasyon yöntemlerinden kimya konularının öğretiminde kullanılabilecek oyun tabanlı öğrenme ve harmanlanmış öğrenme türlerinden ters yüz sınıf modeli anlatılmıştır.
Tolerance-localized and control-localized solutions to system of interval linear equations
Authors:   , Burimas Kanokwan
Published: March 2023

In this thesis, we are interested in a system of interval linear equations Ax=b whose coefficient A and right hand side b vary in some real intervals. We study two types of solutions called tolerance--localized and control--localized solutions of interval linear equations system. The characterizations of each solution are proposed in two main theorems. First, the proposed theorem is stated in terms of center and radius matrices which is directly proved by following their definitions. The other theorem is presented as magnitude sense with new notation. Based on the second theorem, the closed form of all solution sets is released. In addition, we apply the idea of tolerance--localized solution to deal with the course assignment problem. To optimize the preference and over/under workload of the instructors, we formulate the modified integer linear programming model to solve the problem. The obtained result is not significantly different from the original model. Moreover, we found that the obtained result gives higher overall preference of the instructors than actual course assignment in the 2nd semester of 2018.
Biomimicry: function and aesthetic of vacation home, Chonburi
Authors:   , Techaborikiti Suparuek
Published: March 2023

This thesis entitled ‘BIOMIMICRY : FUNCTION AND AESTHETIC OF VACATION HOME IN CHONBURI’ is an attempt to add an architectural element named fah lai (ฝาไหล literally translated as "flowing wall" popularly translated as "breathing wall") of Thai traditional house to the category of 'biomimicry'. This attempt is problematic because the term 'biomimicry' in architecture was invented in the 1990’s much later than the Thai traditional houses. These two words, fa lai and biomimicry, belong to different cultures and different times. Moreover, the term ‘biomimicry’ itself has various interpretations. In this thesis, I will classify the uses of this word ‘biomimicry’ and its related terms in architectural discourse so that it is possible to explain why fah lai can fit into a particular category that exists between ‘biomimicry’ and ‘bioclimatic’ design. Therefore, Geoffrey Bawa’s houses become my case studies because of this reason. Known as ‘Bioclimatic Designer’, the studies of Bawa’s architectural drawings, his space composition, the use of local materials, the relations between the inside and the outside spaces of a house, are the valuable process of learning architecture. The analytical drawings of Bawa’s houses enable me to synthesize my own architectural composition for a vacation home in Chonburi. Function and aesthetic, in this sense, are based upon my own interpretation of biomimicry in crossed cultural studies between the U.S. and Thai cultures.
The use and analysis of accounting and non-accounting information in equity-based crowdfunding
Authors:   , Narklor Aranya
Published: March 2023

Equity-based crowdfunding (ECF) is a new funding source for Thai startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). However, there has been only one ECF fundraising success story in Thailand during the past three years. A mixed-method research approach is employed to investigate the use of accounting and non-accounting information in the Thai ECF setting. The findings show that the most important information is the business model. The majority of participants focus on estimated revenue & cost and estimated cash flow. They pay a great deal of attention to non-accounting information, which is product/service characteristics and market potential. These results can be used by ECF platform operators to address the information asymmetries between fund-seekers and investors. The experimental findings show that individual investors who view mixed-type information are more likely to invest in the ECF campaign than individual investors who view only one set of accounting information or non-accounting information. The present study asserts that two qualitative characteristics of accounting information that influence investment decisions in the ECF environment are relevance and understandability. From the results, it is clear that cognitive errors and emotional bias are the two investor behaviors affecting individual investors’ decision making. These findings imply that although individual investors viewed adequate information, they were negatively influenced by investor bias in their decisions about equity-based crowdfunding. Investment education may be the key to reduce unfavorable investment outcomes resulting from the bias.
