Authors: Carrasco Purull Gonzalo
Published: February 2025

Este artículo analiza cómo el concepto de metabolismo urbano ha sido fundamental para el desarrollo de discursos sobre el consumo urbano sostenible, explorando cómo las interacciones entre capitalismo y naturaleza generan fracturas metabólicas que convierten a los ecosistemas en simples inventarios de recursos. Además, critica cómo las grandes ciudades expanden su metabolismo a nivel global, explotando ecosistemas en territorios ubicados en los márgenes del desarrollo. Finalmente, propone repensar estos procesos orientándolos hacia la promoción de interacciones multiespecíficas e interdependientes, donde la reparación ecológica sea una parte fundamental de la vida urbana.
Management of acid sulfate rock in a Sydney road tunnel
Authors: Hunter Andrew
Published: February 2025

This paper describes the investigation and management of acid sulfate rock (ASR) conditions encountered in a Sydney road tunnel constructed in the Hawkesbury Sandstone. ASR conditions in Hawkesbury Sandstone have not been previously reported in published literature. The main focus of this paper is the investigation of ASR and its derivative products in an emergency egress long passage directly adjacent to a mainline carriageway. Sulfate induced heave has locally caused severe cracking, debonding and failure of shotcrete from the walls of the long passage. Rock degradation has also occurred on exposed rock walls in other parts of the tunnel as a result of sulfate efflorescence. Testing has revealed the sulfate is comprised almost entirely of one mineral; ferricopiapite, an iron sulfate member of the Copiapite Group of minerals. Given the unusual nature of the sulfate efflorescence and the proximity to the mainline, an intrusive investigation was carried out into the tunnel walls to assess the source and mechanisms responsible for the ASR conditions. The results of the study provide an important insight into potential hazards for current and future Sydney tunnelling projects and the need for ASR testing as part of geotechnical investigations for tunnels.

The study conducted water sampling at 30 well locations in 3 aquifers with different water depths (X15 m, X24 m, X36 m) in the Holocene and Pleistocene aquifers in the coastal area of Binh Thuan province, Vietnam. Water quality index calculation methods, correlation analysis, and principal component analysis were applied. The results showed that the Groundwater Quality Index fluctuated at “Excellent”, accounting for 18.61 %; “Good” accounts for 38.05 %; “Poor” accounts for 20.55 %; the remaining “Very Poor” and “Inappropriate” account for 22.79 %. The most “inappropriateˮ part is in Ham Thuan, Phan Thiet. Some well sites are not suitable for water supply. In the coastal area of Phan Thiet, the average chloride content during the year is higher than the allowed standard. During 3 years of monitoring, in the dry season, the highest chloride content was 478 mg.L–1 at sites GWBT16, GWBT20, and 521 mg.L–1 at GWBT24. The results of the principal component correlation analysis of water quality in the X15 m aquifer show a tendency to be more severely affected by high tides during the rainy season.

Phosphate ore is an important raw material for manufacturing phosphorous fertilizers and chemicals. Although most phosphate resources cannot be marketed directly as raw material, including that from the Djebel Onk mine, due to their low P2O5 content and high impurity content. To obtain a quality phosphate concentrate, the enrichment of low-grade phosphate ore is therefore of great necessity. The objective of this research was to explore the use of mixtures consisting of three beige phosphate sub-layers and two black phosphate sub-layers as feed material. The objective of this study was also to identify the chemical composition and mineral phases of the ore by various analysis techniques (X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, SEM / EDS scanning electron microscope, and optical microscope). Many beneficiation techniques can be used to improve the P2O5 content of phosphate ores depending on their characteristics. This technique of electrostatic separation gave excellent results in terms of content and recovery for both calcined and non-calcined beige and black phosphates. The removal of organic matter and calcite is crucial in the phosphate industry, wherefore high-quality phosphoric acid can be produced more economically, while reducing acid consumption. The best-obtained results from the calcination process followed by electrostatic separation from an initial ore with a content of 31.15 % of P2O5 were achieved for calcined beige phosphate (under conditions: rotation speed: 30 rpm, electrical voltage: 30 kV), with content of P2O5 in concentrate 36.89 % and recovery of 93.91 %. For calcined black phosphate the best results were achieved under conditions: rotation speed: 50 rpm, electrical voltage: 35 kV, with content of P2O5 in concentrate 36.65 % and recovery of 93.88 % from an initial ore (with a content of 30.85 % P2O5). This study highlights the importance of the calcination treatment before the electrostatic separation operation.

Gerakan shalat menurut sunnah harus dilakukan dengan tepat. Gerakan shalat dapat dipelajari dengan guru agama agar gerakannya tepat, namun banyak orang yang membutuhkan waktu lebih lama atau mencari guru agama yang dapat mengajarkannya. Untuk itu, diperlukan suatu sistem pembelajaran yang dapat membantu mengenali gerakan shalat, khususnya gerakan takbir. Penelitian ini berfokus pada gerakan takbir berdasarkan kitab Fiqih Sholat Seperti Nabi karya Syeikh Albani. Penelitian ini berfokus pada peningkatan akurasi pendeteksian gerakan takbir menggunakan metode pengolahan citra berbasis Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) dengan operator Prewitt dan operasi morfologi. Pada tahap awal, operator Prewitt diterapkan untuk mendeteksi tepi gerakan pada citra grayscale, yaitu dengan menonjolkan kontur gerakan tangan saat takbir. Kemudian, dilakukan operasi morfologi seperti dilatasi dan erosi untuk menghaluskan citra dan mengurangi noise, sehingga memperjelas tepi gerakan yang terdeteksi. Citra yang dihasilkan menjadi input bagi model CNN yang dilatih menggunakan teknik transfer learning. Dengan pendekatan ini, model CNN memperoleh akurasi sebesar 89,2% dalam mendeteksi gerakan takbir. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi operator Prewitt, operasi morfologi, dan CNN efektif meningkatkan akurasi klasifikasi gerakan sholat dan memberikan kontribusi baru pada pengenalan gerakan sholat menggunakan metode pemrosesan gambar

Analysis of Translation Method of the Idiomatic Phrases in J.K. Rowling's Novel “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”
Authors: Beatrice Stephanie  , Muhammad Zaki Pahrul Hadi
Published: February 2025

Among works of fiction, idiomatic phrases are some of the most complicated problems in translation. Idioms are a significant part of every language whose metaphorical meanings cannot be directly conveyed through translation. The idioms help maintain most of the subtlety and unique cultural characteristics that define a language. This paper will elaborate on the translation of idiomatic phrases in the novel "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows" by J. K. Rowling by reflecting upon various methods that the translator may employ while rendering English idioms into Indonesian. The data for this research was obtained through a descriptive qualitative approach, where this research was conducted on how translators retain or alter the meaning of idiomatic expressions from the novel in question in the target cultural context. The research determined that translators use literal translation, idiomatic translation, and paraphrasing, among the other techniques, which best allow them to be as faithful as possible to the original meaning and fit into the culture they are targeted for. The present study calls attention to the problems idiomatic translation poses and the role of culture in literary translation.
Identification and classification of speech disfluencies: A systematic review on methods, databases, tools, evaluation and challenges
Authors: Luna Alana S. , Machado-Lima Ariane , Nunes Fátima L. S.
Published: February 2025

With the advancement of multimedia technologies, human-computer conversational interfaces are becoming increasingly important and are emerging as a highly promising area of research. Vocal representations, facial expressions, and body language can be used to extract various types of information. In the context of vocal representations, the complexity of human communication involves a wide range of expressions that vary according to grammatical rules, languages, accents, slang, disfluencies, and other speech events. In particular, the detection of disfluencies, i.e., interruptions in the normal flow of speech characterized by pauses, repetitions, and sound prolongations, is of interest not only for improving speech recognition systems but also for potentially identifying emotional aspects in audio. Several studies have aimed to define computational methods to identify and classify disfluencies, as well as appropriate evaluation methods in different languages. However, no studies have compiled the findings in the literature on this topic. This is important for both summarizing the motivations and applications of the research, as well as identifying opportunities that could guide new investigations. Our objective is to provide an analysis of the state of the art, the main limitations, and the challenges in this field. Eighty articles were extracted from four databases and analyzed through a systematic review. Our results show that research into the detection of disfluencies has been conducted for various purposes. Some aimed to improve the performance of translation tools, while others focused on the summarization of spoken dialogues, speaker diarization, and Natural Language Processing. Most of the research was oriented toward the English language. F-score, precision, and recall were the most commonly used evaluation measures for the reported methods. Statistical and machine learning techniques were widely applied, with CRFs (Conditional Random Fields), MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy), Decision Trees, and BLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory) being especially prominent. In general, newer approaches, such as BERT and BLSTM, have demonstrated higher performance. However, several challenges remain, opening up new research opportunities.

The Embodiment of Disobedience
Authors: Shaw Andrea Elizabeth
Published: February 2025

Despite the West's privileging of slenderness as an aesthetic ideal, the African Diaspora has historically displayed a resistance to the Western European and North American indulgence in 'fat anxiety.' The Embodiment of Disobedience explores the ways in which the African Diaspora has rejected the West's efforts to impose imperatives of slenderness and mass market fat-anxiety. Author Andrea Shaw explores the origins and contradictions of this phenomenon, especially the cultural deviations in beauty criteria and the related social and cultural practices. Unique in its examination of how both fatness and blackness interact on literary cultural planes, this book also offers a diasporic scope that develops previously unexamined connections among female representations throughout the African Diaspora.

Writing the Arab-Israeli Conflict
Authors: Isacoff Jonathan B.
Published: February 2025

Nearly all empirical work in political science is fundamentally historical, yet very little attention has been given to the problem of grounding claims to historical knowledge. In Writing the Arab-Israeli Conflict Jonathan B. Isacoff constructs the nature of historical knowledge by deftly examining the multiple histories of the Arab-Israeli conflict written by generations of Israeli scholars. He also undertakes briefer analysis of literature, drawn from both historians and political scientists of the Vietnam War, demonstrating that historical revisionism is not unique to the study of the Middle East. Focusing on different schools of historical interpretation Writing the Arab-Israeli Conflict argues for a pragmatist approach in the tradition of John Dewey. Most importantly, this exceptional work suggests a number of practical methodological measures that can be taken to produce more sophisticated and nuanced political science scholarship.
Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better
Authors: Abernathy Frederick , Baker Kermit , Colton Kent , Weil David
Published: February 2025

Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better examines the performance and operation of the US homebuilding sector based on a detailed survey of large home builders conducted by the authors in the period of the great building boom of the 2000s. In contrast to the many books that have focused on the financial side of the housing sector prior to the Great Recession, the book examines the operational side of the industry and what did, and, more importantly, what did not, happen during the period of unprecedented growth. Despite the rise of very large, national homebuilders during the boom years from 1999 to 2005 and the consolidation of the industry that accompanied it, the authors find that major homebuilders often did not adopt innovations in areas ranging from information technology, supply chain practices, and work site management, nor improve their operational performance. Given this, the book discusses what homebuilders can learn from other industries as they face a challenging future.
A Journey on My Own
Authors: Vieler Eric H.
Published: February 2025

A Journey on My Own tells the story of Eric Vieler, born in America but raised in Hitler's Germany, where he saw the persecution of Jewish neighbors and experienced the bombing of cities. After being expelled from a Nazi-run academy, he crossed battle lines to reach his home. On Easter 1945, he encountered American troops, became their interpreter, and witnessed fierce fighting. He joined British occupation forces, doing a variety of jobs for food as compensation. Vieler's quest for his American identity was fulfilled when he was repatriated to America at age fifteen, but thoughts of independence were thwarted when, due to his age, he was required to attend public school. Although he held after-school jobs, his primary support was through a New York City welfare agency. In 1950, Vieler enlisted in the Army, was commissioned at age nineteen, and went on to serve in Korea, where he was seriously wounded and twice decorated for valor.
Crippled at the Starting Gate
Authors: Fisher Robert Leslie
Published: February 2025

In Crippled at the Starting Gate, Robert Leslie Fisher argues that the United States needs an education bill, much like the G.I. Bill passed after World War II, to send more Americans to graduate school in the sciences and engineering. Equally important, the graduate schools need to change their culture not only to recruit more women, African-Americans, and Latinos into science, but to promote them to senior faculty positions. Accomplishing these changes in university science and engineering departments will be challenging since the institutions have a strong propensity to recruit white males similar to the overwhelmingly white male senior faculty. In Making Science Fair (2007), Fisher urged new productivity metrics to assure that more women can advance in science. Now Fisher urges ending burdensome educational practices including requiring women and foreign graduate students to teach under-graduates, which adversely affects both the graduate students and the undergraduates.

Starting Over
Authors: Lynch Edward A.
Published: February 2025

Starting Over traces the remarkable political career of former Virginia Governor and U.S. Senator George Allen. Once considered a likely presidential candidate, Allen became a YouTube sensation after a slip of the tongue. But the Allen story is not over and his career has featured multiple returns from seeming oblivion. The author provides a balanced look at Allen's successes and failures. George Allen's career also parallels the ups and downs of modern American conservatism. Allen reinvented conservative political action in the post-Reagan, post-Cold War era. The issues on which he had his greatest successes became the issues that fueled the Republican comeback in the 1990s. In these pages, the reader will learn as much about recent American politics as about Allen himself.

Varieties of Darkness
Authors: Meredith Don
Published: February 2025

From Venice to Vietnam, from the Welsh coast to Cairo, Don Meredith has traveled in the wake of twentieth-century writers, using their novels and poems as guides, as another wayfarer might turn to Fodor’s or the Guide Bleu. He has gone in search of the back streets, basilicas, cafes, piazzas, and countrysides that figured so powerfully in the works of authors who are especially attuned to a sense of place.

Part travelogue, part literary study, Varieties of Darkness is Meredith’s account of his exploration of Michael Ondaatje’s fascinating literary masterpiece The English Patient. Meredith mines the places, the real-life counterparts of the characters, and the curious creative mind of Ondaatje. Varieties of Darkness offers fresh insights into the novel and Ondaatje’s prodigious use of scholarly detail.
The Wisdom of the Body
Authors: Shackleford John M.
Published: February 2025

Everything we learn comes to us through the senses. We interpret the books we read, the speeches and sermons we have heard, and so on. Over the years, we put these things together along with our personal experiences of daily living. Somehow, we integrate all of this sensory input and arrive at an outlook on life. Along the way we may decide whether or not our time here on earth has any meaning. In interpreting the facts of life, many of us tend to do so piecemeal, filtering out certain memories, perhaps even pleasurable ones, if they seem unimportant. However, the more one tries to recall childhood memories, the more they come to the forefront. In The Wisdom of the Body, John M. Shackleford reflects upon his childhood experiences and thoughtfully relates them to his sixty years in a wheelchair. He hopes that his determination to overcome the many difficulties of a paralyzed man—while at the same time pursuing a professional career—will inspire others to master their personal obstacles and become useful members of the human family.

Seen and Unseen Worlds
Authors: Murray J.  Richard
Published: February 2025

Since 451 A.D., at the Council of Chalcedon, Christians have prayed a credo—a short summary of their belief—during Mass which begins: “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth and of all things seen and unseen.” With that belief, they see the unseen: God, His Blessed Mother, the Angels, the Saints, and Satan, the fallen Archangel. This touching memoir asserts the fact that we live in two different worlds—the ever-changing one we see with our human eyes and the ever-constant one we see with our eyes of faith. Seen and Unseen Worlds: Private Memoirs of a Former Jesuit is a very human introduction to living faith by a young man who was part of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) for nearly twelve years. The book culminates with Murray’s decision to leave the Society in 1956. This book is for people of all religions and ages because it deals with life, destiny, the world we know, and the world we cannot yet know.

Embodied Collective Memory
Authors: Narváez Rafael F.
Published: February 2025

The human body is not a given fact; it is not, as Descartes believed, a “machine made up of flesh and bones.” The body is acquired, achieved, and learned. It is thus full of mimetic and mnemonic implications. The body remembers, and it does so in collectively relevant ways. Gestures, corporeal and phonetic rhythms, affective idioms, and emotional styles — perceptual, sensorial, motoric, and affective schemata — are all largely learned in shared social contexts.

These aspects of the embodied experience are often consigned to habit, to bodily automatisms, and to corporeal memories that reflect aspects of culture. But if the body reflects certain aspects of culture that press to become naturalized and organically attached to social actors, it also resists these kinds of cultural pressures. These adaptive and resistive dynamics, as this book shows, are not without consequences for individuals and groups. These processes can result in both advantages and disadvantages for social actors. They can take us toward certain futures while foreclosing others. It is therefore necessary to understand how, why, and to what extent corporeal memories are constructed but also resisted, modified, or created anew.
