Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body does not produce enough or respond normally to insulin, causing blood sugar (glucose) levels to be abnormally high. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Andrographis paniculata leaf and stem bark extracts in management of Alloxan induced diabetes Wistar rats. Fifty (50) Wistar rats were divided into eight groups, namely; group A (normal control), B, C, D, E, F, G and H (treatment groups). The study was conducted for four (4) weeks by measuring blood glucose levels in first four weeks. The result showed that the diabetic rats administered with 500mg/kg of aqueous leaf extract and 250mg/kg of stem bark extract were significantly lower than those of untreated control groups. However, the combined dose of 250mg/kg aqueous leaf and 250mg/kg stem extracts were not significantly different from untreated control group. Findings of the study have demonstrated that leaves and stem extract of A.  paniculata exhibited significant blood sugar lowering property in Alloxan induced diabetic Wistar rats.

Introduction. Waste management, including hazardous waste, is one of the issues that are regulated at the level of the European Union with the help of Directives that are binding on all EU member states. Various EU Waste Directives have been approved since 1975, and in 2008 the fundamental EU Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives) was adopted, which describes the waste management policy, defines the classification of waste and methods for their processing and disposal. Material and methods. When preparing the review, legal documents (in particular, Directives, EU Regulations in the field of waste management) and guidelines for practical waste management in the EU were used. Results and discussions. The review presents a methodology for classifying waste, dividing it into non-hazardous and hazardous. Hazard codes and classes, threshold values, i.e. criteria for classifying waste as hazardous. Conclusion. At the stage of analysis of European legislation concerning waste management, the EU pays special attention to the classification of waste as an important tool for differentiating their flow and planning the management of their individual types. The main principle of classification is the differentiation of waste according to the degree of danger to the environment and humans, which allows minimizing their negative impact.

Published: September 2022

No país com um dos maiores índices de feminicídio, transfobia e homofobia, é de extrema relevância expor, trazer à luz e disseminar conhecimentos que nos auxiliem em compreensões mais abrangentes acerca das subjetividades e vivências múltiplas e diversas que existem e resistem em nossa sociedade. Diante da necessidade de explanar informações sobre o que vem acontecendo e, de alguma forma, contribuir para a melhoria da experiência universitária, compilamos esta obra. Quando pensamos na academia, imaginamos um lugar aberto para que cada cidadão desenvolva suas habilidades e competências em uma área específica. Entretanto, alguns grupos são subvalorizados mesmo no ambiente acadêmico, por exemplo, as minorias sociais. Vemos que alguns grupos se tornam invisíveis aos olhos da nossa sociedade. Grupos esses que são ignorados ou privados de oportunidades na maioria dos meios em que estamos inseridos. Diante da necessidade de explanar informações sobre o que vem acontecendo e, de alguma forma, contribuir para a melhoria da experiência universitária, compilamos esta obra. Enquanto as pautas acerca das diversidades humanas ainda se mostram como um tabu dentro das esferas de poder, é dever universidade enquanto formadora de opiniões – através de estudos e dados –, estimular o pensamento e os questionamentos. Por isso, a presente obra atua como um farol que nos guia e nos ilumina sobre temas como: gênero, sexualidade e as diversas formas de existência. Para essas questões e grupos sociais, debater e a pesquisar esses assuntos é de extrema relevância para o convívio social como um todo. Tal discussão é fundamental para a saúde humana e para que se faça jus as leis de direitos humanos, assegurando os direitos e integridade de todas e todos. Isso, sem distinção de gênero, sexualidade, raça ou classe social. Dito isso, o conhecimento é a chave para o combate às desigualdades e ignorâncias que permeiam em nossa sociedade. Por isso, a obra “Diversidade sexual e de gênero na Academia” é uma das chaves que proporcionará a todas e todos que a lerem, uma expansão de seus horizontes que, consequentemente, nos assiste a enxergar um espectro maior e mais colorido presente em nosso círculo social. Com respeito e reconhecimento, espero que juntas e juntos consigamos, desconstruir velhas muralhas e dar continuidade nos debates e pensamentos apresentados neste livro.
Aspects of Establishment and Reorganization of Secondary Schools in Jeju Area Immediately After Liberation
Authors:   Society for Jeju Studies, Kang Ik-Jun
Published: September 2022

This is a study on the aspects of changes in secondary education that appeared in the establishment of secondary schools in Jeju area immediately after liberation. At that time, Jeju was a representative region showing the expansion of secondary schools. During the Japanese colonial period, there were only two regular middle schools, but by 1949, the number of regular middle schools increased to ten. This indicates that the inherent demand of Jeju-do residents for secondary education surfaced immediately after liberation and the meaning of changes in secondary education can be determined through the aspects of school establishment.
Immediately after liberation, secondary schools in Jeju showed the aspects of reorganization from non-regular private middle schools to regular middle schools. The rapid increase in the number of middle schools in Jeju area after 1945 was made possible due to the internal sympathy of local community for the expansion of secondary education. After the second half of 1946, the administrative organizations expanded and the institutionalization of middle schools was carried out with the implementation of the Jeju-do provincial system and the U. S. military government’s new school system. At that time, the reorganization of the system into regular schools enabled not only the administrative authorities to strengthen the administrative power, but also made it easy for students with academic background of secondary school to enter into higher education or get a job. Many middle schools established immediately after liberation were gradually reorganized into regular middle schools in the system, which became the foundation of secondary schools in Jeju.

Published: September 2022

Two spectrophotometric procedures are developed for the estimation of three antihepatitic drugs namely Voxilaprevir (VOXL), Sofosbuvir (SOFOS) and Velpatasvir (VELP) in pure form and in different pharmaceutical formulations. The first method is based on the oxidation of velpatasvir and sofosbuvir with potassium iodate in an acidic medium followed by extracting the liberated iodine with cyclohexane and measurement at λ= 525 nm. Beer’s law is valid in the concentration ranges from 10–400 and 5–400 µg/ml for velpatasvir and sofosbuvir, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivity of the resulting-colored complex was found to be 1.34 × 10 for velpatasvir and sofosbuvir, respectively. The second method is based on the interaction of the antithepatatis drugs, Voxilaprevir, Velpatasvir and sofosbuvir in 1,2-dichloroethane with bromophenol blue (BPB), bromocresol green (BCG) and bromocresol purple (BCP) in the same solvent to produce stable colored ion pairs with maximum absorbance at 385–405 nm. Regression analysis of Beer’s plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges 10–60, 10–60 and 5–40 µg/mL for voxilaprevir and 1.64 × 103 l.mol−1.cm−1 for velpatasvir, 10–150, 10–150 and 10–60 µg/mL−for sofosbuvir with BPB, BCG and BCP reagents, respectively. The limit of detection is 0.46–7.69 µgml11 for sofosbuvir and 10–250, 10–150 and 10–100 µgml−1 and limits of quantitation range between 1.52–8.53 µgml1. The optimum assay conditions were investigated and the recovery of the drugs from their dosage forms ranged from 99.33% to 100.5%. Intraday relative standard deviations (RSD) were 0.029–1.397% and the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.9992 to 1. The two methods can be applied successfully for the determination of these drugs in tablets. The results of analysis were validated statistically through recovery studies.

A simple, economical, accurate, precise and less time-consuming UV Spectrophotometric method has been developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of Azelnidipine and Telmisartan in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage form. In this method Azelnidipine and Telmisartan are exhibits maximum absorbance (λ max) at 245 nm and 296 nm with methanol as the solvent. The method was validated as per the International Conference on Harmonization (ICHQ2R1) guidelines. Drugs followed the linearity in the concentration range of 1-6 μg/mL and 5-30 μg/mL with correlation coefficient (r2 ) of 0.9999 and 0.9987 for Azelnidipine and Telmisartan respectively. The validity of the proposed method was assessed by applying the standard addition technique where the percentage recovery of the added standard was found to be 100.17 and 99.86 for Azelnidipine and Telmisartan. The limit of detection and quantification were calculated and found to be 0.1147 µg/mL and 0.3475 μg/mL and 2.1825 µg/mL and 6.6137 µg/mL for Azelnidipine and Telmisartan respectively. The proposed method is recommended for routine analysis of Azelnidipine and Telmisartan in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms in regular quality control testing laboratories.

Published: September 2022

Tomato flu is an infectious disease caused by an unexplained virus. The main symptoms of the infection are tomato-shaped blisters all over the body which enlarges to resemble the shape of a tomato, therefore being named as ‘Tomato flu’. Most commonly affects children below the age of 5 years. Tomato flu is considered a “Hand, Foot and Mouth disease”. The clinical manifestation of most cases is mild. It is a self-limiting infection; which gets resolved on its own in 7-10 days. The diagnosis is based on the clinical history and physical examination, especially in regions where there are outbreaks. This infectious disease etiological agent, its treatment regimen, and vaccination stills remain unknown and is a crucial area of research at present. COVID-19 has taught us lessons for outbreak preparedness and management of cases in emergency conditions by repurposing drugs and vaccines which is also synonymously being tried to curb the condition at present situation.

A Moldovai Köztársaság biztonsági és gazdasági kihívásai és a sikeres válaszok lehetősége 2022 nyarán
Authors: Barabás T. János
Published: September 2022

A jelenlegi biztonsági–gazdasági krízist számos kisebb-nagyobb válságjelenség előzte meg az elmúlt pár évtizedben, amelyekre a Maia Sandu vezette EU-barát kormányzat a reformok felpörgetésével válaszolt. Ez hosszú távon sikerekhez vezethet, és megerősítheti az ország nyugati integráció felé való konvergenciáját. Rövid távon viszont marad a bizonytalanság, aminek fő oka az energiaválság, és az orosz hadsereg esetleges Odessza-környéki támadása. A nyugati nyilvánosságban elhanyagolt Moldova sorsa túlmutat határain, sikere jótékony hatással lehet az egész régióban. Akárcsak a magyar, a román és az ukrán kormány is visszafogottan nyilatkozik Moldova ügyében, aminek egyik oka, hogy az országnak stabilitásra van szüksége, a kibontakozó új politikái az igazságügyi, a gazdasági és adminisztratív reformok területén megfelelő választ jelenthetnek a biztonsági és energiaügyi kihívásokra. A Moldovai Köztársaságban tehát a nehézségek ellenére erősítik a reformokat, ami miatt a Nyugatnak továbbra is érdeke kell, hogy legyen a gazdasági, politikai kapcsolatok szorosabbra fűzése.

The emergence of COVID-19 has resulted in an unprecedented escalation in different aspects of human activities, including medical education. Students and educators across academic institutions have confronted various challenges in following the guidelines of protection against the disease on one hand and accomplishing learning curricula on the other hand. In this short view, we presented our experience in implementing e-learning to the undergraduate nursing students during the present COVID-19 pandemic emphasizing the learning content, barriers, and feedback of students and educators. We hope that this view will trigger the preparedness of nursing faculties in Iraq to deal with this new modality of learning and improve it should the COVID-19 pandemic keep on or a new pandemic emerges.
TEOLOGI PRIBUMI DI INDONESIA
Authors: Karman Yonky
Published: September 2022

Abstract: One of the problems with the indigenization of Christian theology in Indonesia is how to respond positively to the Indonesian context. This problem is inseparable from Indonesian theologies which in many respects depend on the final product of Western theologies, a dependence on doing theology without independence and creativity. To overcome this dependence and at the same time foster theological independence, it is first important to reposition the passive subject of doing theology into an active subject by adopting a cultural approach (constructive orientalism). Second, getting rid of the tendency to disbelieve in local elements by reviewing the "kafir" vocabulary of Indonesian Bible texts because these inaccurate  translations indirectly  reinforce  this  tendency.  Within  the context of  the  church and  society, the  path  of  indigenous theology branches off, either through biblical studies or directly through existing church theology.

 

Keywords: indigenization, kafir, independence, Bible, theology.

 

Abstrak: Salah satu problem pribumisasi teologi Kristen di Indonesia adalah bagaimana merespons positif konteks keindonesiaan. Problem ini tak terlepas dari teologi-teologi Indonesia yang dalam banyak hal bergantung pada produk akhir teologi-teologi Barat, suatu ketergantungan berteologi tanpa kemandirian dan  kreativitas. Untuk mengatasi  ketergantungan  ini  sekaligus  menumbuhkan  kemandirian

berteologi,  pertama-tama pentinglah  reposisi subjek  pasif  berteologi menjadi subjek  aktif  dengan  mengadopsi suatu  pendekatan budaya (orientalisme konstruktif). Kedua, menyingkirkan kecenderungan mengafirkan unsur-unsur lokal dengan mengkaji kosakata “kafir” teks-teks Alkitab bahasa Indonesia karena terjemahan yang tak tepat ini secara tidak langsung memperkuat kecenderungan tersebut. Dalam bingkai konteks gereja dan masyarakat, jalan berteologi pribumi bercabang, bisa lewat studi biblika atau langsung lewat teologi gereja yang ada.

 

Kata-kata Kunci: pribumisasi, kafir, kemandirian, Alkitab, teologi.

Conclusion
: Mean values of capillary glucose estimation by glucometer were higher than plasma glucose estimation in laboratory on auto analyzer and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Venous glucose estimation on glucometer gave high erroneous results as compared to plasma glucose estimation in laboratory.
Pattern Of Nicotine Use And Dependence In Psychiatric Patients
Authors: Pattabhi Rama rao Erabally , Gudlavallety Preeti , Radham Ruthika
Published: September 2022

Background: Tobacco use is an epidemic known as “the brown plague” affecting one billion lives in the 21st century and 80% in developing countries. Prevalence of smoking is especially high in patients with psychiatric illness with an ongoing debate over which comes first. Studies about nicotine consumption in psychiatric patients are few from developing countries. Hence, this study is designed to identify socio-demographic and diagnostic correlates of nicotine use.

Aims and Objectives:- To estimate the pattern of nicotine use and determine the association between socio-demographic profile, onset of nicotine use, it’s use as a coping mechanism, psychological association with nicotine use in psychologically ill patients.

Material and methods:- A cross-sectional study including 101 patients with nicotine use and psychiatric illness were administered a semi structured questionnaire, Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence(FTND) and nicotine dependence syndrome scale. Data analyzed with mean, standard deviation, chi- square, ANOVA

Results:-Nicotine use was more common in middle age group with alcohol dependence followed by depression. Nicotine use was not associated with background, socioeconomic status, gender. Majority tried to quit for health but what kept them with nicotine were drive, stereotypy, continuity, priority.

Conclusions:- Nicotine is a commonly abused substance in psychiatric patients without a clear demarcation about the cause effect relationship. The existing study gives few insights into reasons for nicotine intake which was more so among the productive age group. Hence, there is a need for further research about psychotropic drug interactions with nicotine use and focus on integration of nicotine cessation into treatment of other psychiatric disorders rather than separate deaddiction clinics to alleviate the illness burden.

Published: September 2022

Background
and Objective
:
Problem of invasive tests in breast lesion diagnosis can be addressed by comparing non-invasive tests with final Histopathological diagnosis obtained after excision biopsy. Present study was carried out to study diagnostic utility of mammography, sonography, FNAC compared to excision biopsy for diagnosis of breast lesions

Methods:
Prospective Observational study was carried out among 81 women with Breast related symptoms. Digital Mammography Machine, ACUSON S3000™ Ultrasound System; FNAC and surgery for excision Biopsy were used. Sensitivity, Specificity, Accuracy, Positive and Negative Predictive values were measured and p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:
Sonography and FNAC composite have sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values 100.00%, 81.40%, 90.12%, 82.61% and 100.00% respectively. Mammography+FNAC (97.3%) is not as sensitive as Sonography+FNAC (100%), Sonography combined with FNAC is equally sensitive to excision biopsy (100%) and therefore can be used for screening purpose.

Conclusion: Contrary to present guidelines which consider Mammography as most important screening tool for Breast Cancer, combination of Sonography and FNAC can be considered equally reliable.

Authors: Pawar Sheetal , Totawar Sachin , Kulkarni Vaishnavi
Published: September 2022

INTRODUCTION: Maximum open surgeries are being replaced with laparoscopic surgeries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is being more commonly practiced than open surgery. Many parenteral or oral medications are used to control post operative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy do have their own side effects. So, local instillation will be beneficial with lesser or negligible side effects. The present study was conducted to compare the effect of intraperitoneal instillation of 0.25% Bupivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and 0.25% Bupivacaine with Fentanyl to know which combination has better efficacy in patients of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

METHODOLOGY: The present comparative study was carried on patients posted for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in a tertiary care hospital during 2019 to 2022, The patients were divided in two equal groups of 40 each with Group D - Patients receiving 0.25% bupivacaine with Dexmedetomidine and were instilled with 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 1 μg/kg Dexmedetomidine (diluted in 2 ml Normal Saline). Also, Group F - Patients receiving 0.25% bupivacaine with Fentanyl where patients were instilled with 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 1 μg/kg Fentanyl (diluted with 2 ml Normal saline NS). Degree of postoperative pain was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

RESULTS: Overall VAS in 24 hrs was significantly lower in the D group compared to F group. The time required for the first dose of rescue analgesia was longer in the D group than in F group, indicating better and longer pain relief in the D group compared to that of F group. The difference was also statistically significant among the two groups. Total analgesic consumption was high in F group than in the D group.

CONCLUSION: We concluded that intraperitoneal instillation of dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg in combination with 0.25% Bupivacaine in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy significantly reduces the post operative pain and analgesic requirement in postoperative period.
Towards multilingual pedagogies for social justice in the primary school
Authors: Quehl Thomas
Published: September 2022

Multilingual pedagogies are a growing, yet often conceptually and politically contested area in mainstream educational settings. The article draws on data from a broader ethnographic study that focused on teacher agency in multilingual pedagogies in five superdiverse primary school classrooms in London and the East of England, where the children in each class spoke approximately ten languages besides English. The study used fieldnotes, teacher interviews, participatory activities with children and photographs of schoolscapes to analyse dominant features of the classroom: a monolingual norm, educators’ tendency to restrict children’s multilingualism to EAL-learning aspects and an only symbolic acknowledgement of their linguistic repertoires. Here, I argue that three intertwined dimensions of social justice emerge from this status quo as requirements for and as elements of multilingual pedagogies in superdiverse mainstream schools: the participation and recognition of plurilingual speakers, a normalization of multilingualism in the institution school and a deconstruction of languages as national languages. It is suggested that these dimensions are relevant for critical reflections and developments at the classroom level. However, it is only possible to leverage their analytical as well as practical potential, if they are conceptualized within wider examinations of hierarchies, discourses and institutional practices within contemporary societies that are characterized by phenomena of transnational migration and racism. The article concludes by drawing on the frameworks of migration pedagogy and the raciolinguistic perspective for such contextualisation.
Do macrojogo ao microjogo

Published: September 2022

Com o presente artigo pretendemos problematizar e explorar o conceito de jogo, entendendo-o como algo amplo, rizomático e não fechado em uma única forma de interpretação. Além do que, o conceito de jogo pode já ter sido cristalizado em decorrência da sua consolidação, assim, seu desenvolvimento só se torna possível na medida em que se há um arruinamento para devir novas potencialidades. Foi, então, a partir dos pensamentos de Deleuze e Guattari sobre: conceito e rizoma, de onde partimos para desenvolver o conceito de macro-jogo e micro-jogo, em uma tentativa de potencializar as discussões por um viés interdisciplinar e de cunho filosófico. Diante de tais questões, foi possível compreender a importância do olhar interdisciplinar para a resolução de problemas provenientes de áreas distintas do conhecimento, rompendo com a dicotomia entre teoria e prática tão evidente e presente em tais áreas.

Published: September 2022

Biodegradable salicylic acid-based poly(anhydride-ester)s (SAPAE) have proven to be effective in many biomedical applications including controlling inflammation, promoting bone growth, and preventing biofilm formation due to the release of salicylic acid upon hydrolysis of the polymer anhydride and ester bonds. Microspheres of SAPAE polymer are one fabrication option available for the encapsulation and controlled release of hydrophobic small molecules. This project aims to evaluate and characterize the ability for SAPAE microspheres to encapsulate, protect, and deliver retinol, a small hydrophobic molecule which is highly used in dermatological and cosmetic products for anti-aging purposes. The SAPAE of interest is a copolymer of salicylic acid (SA), adipic acid, and a diphenylene acetic acid (PAA). Due to supply chain limitations, the polymers used to form microspheres were of two variations, low molecular weight and high molecular weight. Nonetheless, this allowed for comparison of microspheres characteristics including size, morphology, and retinol loading efficiency. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was confirmed that the unloaded and retinol-loaded microspheres had a spherical shape, and the sizes were similar between the low molecular weight and high molecular weight polymer versions. Residual methylene chloride solvent was successfully reduced in all samples which increases the viability for biological applications. Finally, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy detected a maximum of 4% w/v loading of retinol in the microspheres.

Using physical interactive devices like mouse and keyboards hinders naturalistic human-machine interaction and increases the probability of surface contact during a pandemic. Existing gesturerecognition systems do not possess user authentication, making them unreliable. Static gestures in current gesture-recognition technology introduce long adaptation periods and reduce user compatibility. Our technology places a strong emphasis on user recognition and safety. We use meaningful and relevant gestures for task operation, resulting in a better user experience. This paper aims to design a robust, faceverification-enabled gesture recognition system that utilizes a graphical user interface and primarily focuses on security through user recognition and authorization. The face model uses MTCNN and FaceNet to verify the user, and our LSTM-CNN architecture for gesture recognition, achieving an accuracy of 95% with five classes of gestures. The prototype developed through our research has successfully executed context-dependent tasks like save, print, control video-player operations and exit, and context-free operating system tasks like sleep, shut-down, and unlock intuitively. Our application and dataset are available as open source.

The objective of this article is to approach the main historical milestones of epilepsy, a disease that affects 50 million people in the world, 40 million of them in developing countries. An important part of the sick population does not deal with treatment, although it is a predominantly controllable problem. Probably one of the main causes for this is the stigma that attends people with epilepsy.
German geographical urban morphology in an international and interdisciplinary framework
Authors: Heineberg Heinz
Published: September 2022

This paper reviews the development and main aspects of research in German geographical urban morphology in an international and interdisciplinary framework. German urban morphology has a long history. It was a progenitor of the Conzenian tradition in Britain. During recent decades, however, it has lost the prominent position it held within German human geography in the early years of the twentieth century. It has nevertheless continued to yield a sizeable amount of research, including on cultural-genetic city types at continental and sub-continental scales and on urban change and conservation. Within the framework of geographical urban morphology a number of applied and theoretical topics merit particular attention: among these are the reuse of derelict land, the revitalization of harbour areas, interdisciplinary approaches to redevelopment, holistic perspectives on the built environment, transformation and reconstruction in eastern Germany and urban shrinkage. Fundamental aspects of urban morphology as a field of knowledge include increased participation in the international community of urban morphologists, a renewed impetus to the revitalization of theory, and more contributions on ecological aspects of urban form.
Extending the compass of plan analysis: a Chinese exploration
Authors: Whitehand J.W.R. , Gu Kai
Published: September 2022

Research on Chinese urban form has hitherto been descriptive rather than analytical and it is handicapped by the lack of major sources of information used in the West. This paper explores M. R. G. Conzen's method of plan analysis, as developed by him largely in Europe, in the very different cultural conditions existing in China. Components and stages in the genesis of the layout of the ancient city of Pingyao are established or inferred using Conzen's method and concepts. Most components in the street plan of Pingyao and many of those in its plot pattern are products of a series of planned schemes. The historico-geographical structure of the city's plan can be understood in terms of fixation lines (mainly lines of former and extant city fortifications), consequent and occupation streets, fringe belts, present and former axial streets, the recurrence of an ancient street-grid module, rectilinear street systems in areas created since the fourteenth century, the influence of fengshui (especially on plot orientations), varying degrees of plot metamorphosis and repletion, and the incidence of communal residential work units. Because of the limited historical record, especially in the form of true plans, some findings are more tentative than those of comparable studies in Europe. However, the successful application of the method in an environment so different from that of its previous, largely Euro-American, testing grounds justifies confidence in its worldwide applicability, with major implications for urban landscape management.
Aspects of urban form
Authors: Kropf Karl
Published: September 2022

The diversity and complexity of human settlements is reflected in the range of ways we try to understand them. The richness of subject matter presented by cities has given rise to an equal richness in methods of investigation. Even within a single field such as urban morphology, there are different approaches with different terms of reference. The challenge raised by the diversity is not how to select between the different views but how to combine and co-ordinate them. The purpose of this paper is to undertake an initial critical analysis of different approaches to urban morphology in an effort to meet that challenge. The first aim is to identify the range of different phenomena taken as the object of urban morphological enquiry. The second is to identify an aspect that is common to all the approaches and that can be used as a reference key to co-ordinate different views in a rigorous way. The ultimate goal is a composite view in which the different approaches support each other to provide a better understanding of human settlements.
Cartographical sources for urban morphological research in China
Authors: Gu Kai , Zhang Jian
Published: September 2022

The use of cartographical sources is fundamental to understanding urban landscapes. Despite the increasing amount of research on the changing physical form of Chinese cities, knowledge of the sources and access to them remain poor. True ground plans showing streets, plots and building blockplans are rare. This paper highlights the importance in urban morphology of the use of those limited cartographical sources that are available in China, including their use in conjunction with field surveys and other sources of information.
