Disrupting and Re-imagining European Studies: towards a More Diverse and Inclusive Discipline
Authors: David Maxine , Garcia Maria , Haastrup Toni , Mattheis Frank
Published: August 2023

In 2019, UACES and the European Studies Association of Sub-Saharan Africa (ESA-SSA) launched a project funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus Plus Jean Monnet Projects. The aim of the programme was to encourage and promote diversity within European Studies - broadly defined. The project, ‘Diversity, Inclusion and Multidisciplinarity in European Studies’ (DIMES) sought to explore ways to increase diversity within the field of European Studies, in particular with regards to the ethnicity, disciplinary focus, geographical location of its participants and eventually knowledge production within European Studies itself. The outlined aims of the project were threefold: 1) to improve the representation of BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of colour) academics within UACES and European studies more generally; 2) to move away from the emphasis on Western European and North American academics towards greater inclusion for scholars from under-represented, even marginalised geographies; 3) to broaden the disciplinary focus of contemporary European Studies to include adjacent/related disciplines such as anthropology, human geography, cultural studies and sociology.
Rethinking African-European Scientific Cooperation: The Case of the Platform for African-European Studies
Authors: Nshimbi Christopher C. , Develtere Patrick , Debela Bacha Kebede
Published: August 2023

African universities rely on teaching traditions and scientific theories based on Western epistemologies and ontologies. Interactions between European and African scholars too tend to focus on the deficits in African experiences, knowledge, research and teaching methodologies and the poor economic environments in which they operate that are characterized by inadequate infrastructure and budgets. This essay discusses an emerging opportunity in science diplomacy within African-European Union (EU) interactions in higher education and argues that a fundamental revision of the imbalances in African-European scholarly relationships is possible. The essay uses the case of the emerging Platform for African–European Studies, which involves 22 universities (including 14 in Africa and eight in Europe) and underscores the importance of science diplomacy, knowledge co-creation and co-production to correct hegemonic knowledge about Africa. It explores the origins of the programme, its attempt to follow a critical global and decolonized approach in addressing the revision of curricula both in Europe and in Africa and the co-design of research. It concludes by highlighting some of the obstacles to disrupting the status-quo.
Responsabilidad Social Universitaria como ámbito estratégico para las Instituciones de Educación Superior
Authors: Gaete Quezada Ricardo
Published: August 2023

La responsabilidad social universitaria es una temática relevante en diversos países Iberoamericanos, respondiendo al llamado de organismos internacionales y redes interuniversitarias iberoamericanas. El objetivo del artículo es analizar la incorporación del concepto de responsabilidad social en el ámbito de la dirección estratégica de las universidades chilenas, desarrollando un estudio descriptivo mediante un análisis de contenido mixto de planes estratégicos de una muestra de universidades chilenas. Los resultados evidencian una escasa utilización de dicho concepto en los documentos analizados, siendo incorporado fundamentalmente en la identificación de valores y principios institucionales, evidenciándose una menor utilización en la declaración de misión y visión institucional. La principal conclusión del estudio es que las universidades chilenas incluidas en la muestra no consideran a la responsabilidad social como un modelo conceptual explícito que oriente su dirección estratégica, por ende, no se despliega integralmente en su quehacer organizacional o al funcionamiento del sistema de educación superior chileno.

Why Citizens Don't Hold Politicians Accountable For Air Pollution
Authors: Singh Shikhar , Thachil Tariq
Published: August 2023

Urban citizens in low-income democracies rarely hold elected officials accountable for toxic air. To understand why, we fielded a large citizen survey in the highly polluted megacity of Delhi. We find no evidence of conventional explanations for accountability failures: residents are aware of pollution's adverse impacts, do not privilege development over curbing emissions, and are not fractured along class or ethnic lines on this issue. Instead, survey experiments reveal partisanship and sensitivity to the potential private costs of mitigation policies reduce accountability pressures. On the other hand, a randomized intervention (sharing indoor air quality information) that personalizes the costs of air pollution increases its electoral salience. We reveal key opportunities and constraints for mobilizing public opinion to reduce air pollution in developing democracies.

A Healthy Lifestyle is a Social Lifestyle: The Vital Link between Social Connection and Health Outcomes
Authors: Proctor Andrew Scot , Barth Abigail , Holt-Lunstad Julianne
Published: August 2023

Social connection impacts physical health in a variety of ways, including longevity. A diverse and robust body of evidence demonstrates the importance of social connection as a key element of lifestyle relevant to health. Among this evidence, data illustrates the mechanisms linking social connection to health, emphasizing how aspects of social connection impact traditional behavioral lifestyle-related activities directly and indirectly. The evolving landscape of social engagement through digital technologies further suggests important implications for one’s social lifestyle on population health. This evidence points to the importance of considering how social connection impacts health across the lifespan and the need for policy, programming, and other strategies as part of prevention and mitigation efforts to improve social health.
The Critical Role of Action in Space-Number Associations: Evidence from Random Number Generation
Authors: Tagu Jérôme , Pressigout Alexandra , Lemoine-Lardennois Christelle , Doré-Mazars Karine
Published: August 2023

The influence of space-number associations on action parameters has been widely reported. Yet, some recent studies claim that space-number associations are only the consequence of lateralized actions. However, little is known about the actual influence of action on number representations, and how this influence interacts with the influence of space. Hence, our goal was first to further examine the influence of action on number representations, and second to characterize the nature of this influence by manipulating both action direction and magnitude. To this end, we used a saccade task followed by a random number generation task (Experiment 1). We show that saccade amplitude shapes number representations, but that this influence depends on saccade direction as it is found for rightward saccades only. Moreover, the influence of target spatial position on the numbers generated vanishes when no action is executed (Experiment 2). In our view, these results demonstrate the critical role of action in space-number associations. We suggest that the influence of space on number representations is only observed through lateralized actions. These findings shed new light on conflicting results in the literature about the influences of space and action, and provide important insights into the mechanisms behind space-number associations.
Selective Cultural Adoption: The Roles of Warmth, Competence, Morality, and Perceived Indispensability in Majority-Group Acculturation

Published: August 2023

Psychological research has begun considering the dynamics involved in majority-group acculturation, which is the extent to which cultural majority groups adopt the culture of immigrants and minority groups. However, previous research has predominantly concentrated on reactions to “immigrants” or “minority groups” as a homogenous entity, overlooking the nuanced perceptions and varied valuations attributed to different groups. Recognizing the heterogeneity among immigrant and minority groups, the present work investigated the influence of several perceived characteristics of immigrant and minority groups on majority-group members’ adoption of their cultures. Specifically, in three pre-registered studies—one correlational (Participants = 201, Ntrials = 2814) and two within-subjects experimental (Nparticipants = 144 and 146, Ntrials = 720 and 730) designs with close to politically representative samples from the U.K. and U.S.—majority-group members were more willing to adopt immigrant and minority-group cultures that they perceived as warm, competent, and moral because these perceptions made immigrants and minority groups seem indispensable to the identity and economy of the mainstream society. Our studies highlight the importance of considering the differentiated acculturation that majority-group members have to various groups within the same national context. We discuss the societal and cultural repercussions of this selective uptake of other cultures.
A Historical Review of Gaslighting: Tracing Changing Conceptualizations Within Psychiatry and Psychology
Authors: Klein Willis Benjamin , Wood Suzanne , Bartz Jennifer
Published: August 2023

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that causes a victim to doubt their sense of reality, usually leading to a loss of agency (i.e., confidence and sense of self) and emotional and mental instability. The phenomenon was first identified over 50 years ago and discourse on the topic was largely confined to psychiatry/medicine; however, interest in gaslighting has experienced a resurgence with expansion both in terms of the contexts in which gaslighting is thought to occur as well as disciplines weighing in on the topic. Indeed, Merriam-Webster chose ‘gaslighting’ as its word of the year in 2022. The aim of this article is to offer a historical review of work on gaslighting that tracks how the term has evolved and to identify core features of the phenomena. In doing so we identify points of consensus and tension in the literature. We conclude by making specific recommendations for the future of scholarship on gaslighting.
Individual differences in overconfidence: A new measurement approach
Authors: Binnendyk Jabin , Pennycook Gordon
Published: August 2023

Overconfidence plays a role in a large number of individual decision biases and has been considered a “meta-bias” for this reason. However, since overconfidence is measured behaviorally with respect to particular tasks (in which performance varies across individuals), it is unclear if people generally vary in terms of their general overconfidence. We investigated this issue using a novel measure: The Generalized Overconfidence Task (GOT). The GOT is a difficult perception test that asks participants to identify objects in fuzzy (“adversarial”) images. Critically, participants’ estimated performance on the task is not related to their actual performance. Instead, variation in estimated performance, we argue, arises from generalized overconfidence: i.e., people indicating a cognitive skill for which they have no basis. In a series of studies (total N = 1,293), the GOT was more predictive when looking at a broad range of behavioural outcomes than two other overestimation tasks (cognitive and numeracy) and did not display substantial overlap with conceptually related measures (Studies 1a and 1b). In Studies 2a and 2b, the GOT showed superior reliability in a test-retest design compared to the other overconfidence measures (i.e., cognitive and numeracy measures), particularly when collecting confidence ratings after each image and an estimated performance score. Finally, the GOT is a strong predictor of a host of behavioural outcomes, including conspiracy beliefs, bullshit receptivity, overclaiming, and the ability to discern news headlines.
Epidemiology of body dysmorphic disorder and appearance preoccupation in youth: prevalence, comorbidity and psychosocial impairment
Authors: Krebs Georgina , Clark Bruce , Ford Tamsin , Stringaris Argyris
Published: August 2023

Objective: Little is known about the epidemiology of body dysmorphic disorder in youth. We evaluated the prevalence, comorbidity, and psychosocial impairment associated with BDD and more broadly defined appearance preoccupation in young people.Method: Data were drawn from the 2017 Mental Health of Children and Young People in England survey. BDD and psychiatric comorbidity were assessed in 5-19 year olds (N = 7,654) according to DSM-5 criteria, using a clinician-rated standardized diagnostic assessment. Psychosocial impairment was measured with a quantitative scale, and indexed by reported self-harm and suicide attempts, and service utilisation, assessed using structured interviews. Results: The point prevalence of BDD was 1.0% (95% CI 0.8 – 1.3%). BDD was significantly more common among adolescents than children (1.9 vs 0.1%; OR = 22.5, p<0.001), and females than males (1.8% vs 0.3%; OR = 7.3, p<.001). Similar age and sex effects were observed for appearance preoccupation. Approximately 70% of young people with BDD had psychiatric comorbidity, most commonly internalizing disorders. BDD was associated with self- and parent-reported psychosocial impairment, self-harm and suicide attempts, and service utilisation. Appearance preoccupation was more common than full-syndrome BDD, but showed similar age and sex effects, patterns of comorbidity, and associated impairment. Conclusion: BDD and appearance preoccupation are relatively common, especially among adolescent girls, and associated with substantial co-occurring psychopathology, risk, and impairment. Improved screening is needed to increase detection and diagnosis of BDD, and to facilitate access to evidence-based treatment. Future research should seek to establish whether appearance preoccupation as a target for early intervention.

Published: August 2023

This article is focused on assessing the influence of body weight on the indicators of physical and emotional status of 12-13-year-old girls. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between body weight and indicators of physical and emotional status in 12-13-year-old girls. The study involved 108 girls aged 12 and 30 girls aged 13. The following methods were used: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, anthropometric, pedagogical, physiological methods, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The study revealed statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlations between body mass index (BMI) and indicators of physical development, functional status, physical fitness, physical activity, and value orientations of 12-13-year-old girls, as well as factors negatively influencing their attitude towards physical education classes. The study also identified a direct statistically significant relationship between BMI and the value orientations in the subjects. An increase in BMI was associated with the reinforcement of terminal values such as independence and love, as well as instrumental values like cheerfulness. The research revealed that normal body weight has a positive impact on the development of physical abilities of 12-13-year-old girls, specifically agility and trunk flexor muscular strength and endurance. According to the obtained data, the number of correlations between BMI and other studied indicators of physical and emotional status, physical activity, and value orientations increased with age. While 12- year-old girls had 12 such correlations, 13-year-old girls had 15. Conclusions: The abovementioned necessitates the consideration of these findings in the justification and development of exercise programs based on the use of health fitness means for girls with insufficient body weight.
Features of the organization sport selection to the club and national football teams of France
Authors: Dulibskyy Andriy
Published: August 2023

Ahead of the 2016 European Football Championship held in France, the Ministry of Education together with the French Football Federation (FFF) and school sports associations approved the program "Foot à l'école" ("Football at school"), which operates in all schools in the football country. The main goal of the national program is to strengthen and consolidate the practical relationship between school and the favorite activity of many children - playing football. The program enables children to play football at school and makes the game not only an element of sports selection, but also one of the tools for academic success of schoolchildren.

For this purpose, the French Football Federation trained qualified specialists and provided schools with the necessary sports equipment, high-quality playing uniforms and methodological support. The main and emphasized essence of the program is focused on entertaining and educational aspects that involve in the process of playing football all children who dream of big football, regardless of gender and football playing skills or competitive achievements. The goal of this program is to involve the largest number of children in football lessons.

The development structure of both youth and professional football in France is constantly being improved, including because it is economically and image-wise very profitable for French football clubs to invest in their future. After all, young talented players usually go to play on the basis of signed large professional contracts in the more powerful football leagues of Europe (England (EPL), Spain (Primera), Italy (Serie A), Germany (Bundesliga)), so a constant influx of qualified football personnel is needed in their place.

The article deals with topical issues regarding the improvement of applied military skills of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine based on the use of sports orienteering tools. It is emphasized that regular practical orienteering exercises allow servicemen to confidently move through unfamiliar terrain and overcome various natural obstacles, receive and analyze relevant information, and quickly make decisions in extreme situations. Such military-applied skills are especially important for servicemen of special operations forces, reconnaissance, airborne assault and other special units, which mainly operate in small groups outside the permanent deployment points of military units. On the basis of the analysis of the problems of the organization of military applied training of personnel, the ways of increasing the effectiveness of the educational process of training the skills of orientation in the terrain in the power structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are presented.

Published: August 2023

Maintaining the appropriate level of professional and combat readiness of military personnel is an extremely important and necessary factor for the successful performance of the tasks assigned to protect the state. The military and professional activity of soldiers is characterized by constant increased physical and mental stress, as well as the impact on the psyche of various stress factors, the performance of tasks in special conditions associated with the risk to life and health, which can become a reason for the deterioration of their health and reduction of combat capability. Contusions and their consequences are fairly common violations of the state of combat readiness of soldiers participating in combat operations. At the same time, the adaptation of servicemen who received concussions during the performance of official duties should be complex in nature. The analysis of the nature of the complaints put forward by the respondents and the self-assessment of well-being at the end of the working day and the working week indicates the deterioration of the regulation of the activity of the main organs and systems of the body, negative changes in the working capacity of servicemen, and the lack of opportunities for its restoration. All this is a sign of the formation of relevant pre-clinical health conditions. Although the vast majority of participants have a sufficient level of physical fitness, at the same time there is a certain number of participants who show results that are worse than age norms. This characterizes the impact of concussion on the physical condition of servicemen and is a sign of general deterioration of health.

It is the means of physical training that are not only important factors that depend on the professional realization of military personnel, but also ensure a positive impact on the performance of combat tasks.
Gender stereotypes in AI-generated images
Authors: García-Ull Francisco-José , Melero-Lázaro Mónica
Published: August 2023

This study explores workplace gender bias in images generated by DALL-E 2, an application for synthesising images based on artificial intelligence (AI). To do this, we used a stratified probability sampling method, dividing the sample into segments on the basis of 37 different professions or prompts, replicating the study by Farago, Eggum-Wilkens and Zhang (2020) on gender stereotypes in the workplace. The study involves two coders who manually input different professions into the image generator. DALL-E 2 generated 9 images for each query, and a sample of 666 images was collected, with a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of 5%. Each image was subsequently evaluated using a 3-point Likert scale: 1, not stereotypical; 2, moderately stereotypical; and 3, strongly stereotypical. Our study found that the images generated replicate gender stereotypes in the workplace. The findings presented indicate that 21.6% of AI-generated images depicting professionals exhibit full stereotypes of women, while 37.8% depict full stereotypes of men. While previous studies conducted with humans found that gender stereotypes in the workplace exist, our research shows that AI not only replicates this stereotyping, but reinforces and increases it. Consequently, while human research on gender bias indicates strong stereotyping in 35% of instances, AI exhibits strong stereotyping in 59.4% of cases. The results of this study emphasise the need for a diverse and inclusive AI development community to serve as the basis for a fairer and less biased AI.

The Influences of the Participation Motivation and the Level of Satisfaction with the Education of the Learner of the Senior Model Education Program on the Intention to Continue the Participation
Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Yoo Kyung Bin , Kim Sang Yong
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine how senior model educational program learners' satisfaction with education affects
their motivation to continue participation. In this study, 500 learners of the senior model education program at the senior model education
centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do were selected as research subjects. The participants of this study were senior male and female
models who had either participated in or graduated from senior model training programs in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The researcher
collected data by distributing 500 questionnaires to these participants. The subjects of the study were sampled using a convenience sampling
method. The results of this study are as follows. First, the relationship between participation motivation and program satisfaction was found
to have a statistically significant static effect on learning-oriented and goal-oriented types. In particular, among the motivations for participation,
it was confirmed that learning orientation had a relatively higher effect on program satisfaction. Second, among the motives for participation,
it was found statistically significant that only the learning-oriented motive had a significant positive impact on the intention to continue
participation. Third, there were significant relationships between education satisfaction, instructor satisfaction, employee satisfaction, physical
environment satisfaction, and the intention to continue participation. These factors all had a significant impact on the intention to continue participating in the program. Fourth, it was confirmed that instructor satisfaction played a partial mediating role between education satisfaction
and intention to continue participation. This means that program satisfaction has a direct or indirect effect on the relationship between independent
variables and parameters.
Active Digital Aging Process Based on Older Adults’ Experience in Creating Digital Content

Published: August 2023

This study explored the digital aging experiences of older adults who create digital content from the perspective that older adults
are active participants in the current digital society. Eight older adults who had been creating digital content for at least six months shared
their experiences. The interview data were analyzed based on the Grounded Theory. Findings indicated that the participants showed common
psychological characteristics, life experience characteristics, and social and environmental factors in later life that became the foundation
for digital content creation. In the introductory stage of digital content creation, older adults passively utilized available resources. As they progressed to the more sophisticated stage of creating digital content, they actively interacted with existing resources and developed digital
skills. They minimized the negative influences of obstacles in the digital aging process by utilizing the resources they already had. Digital
content creation made them experience active aging and it allowed them to continue digital content creation. This experience led to the
virtuous cycle structure of digital content production. Based on these results, intervention strategies for digital aging in middle and old age
and educational methods to improve digital competence for older adults were discussed.

Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Yun Sohyeon , Lim Young-Myoung
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and applicability of applying intervention strategies for the formation of healthy
lifestyles in the elderly. The subjects of this study were pre-evaluation and post-evaluation, a total of 8 sessions (twice a week, 70-90 minutes)
targeting 7 elderly people living in the community. Intervention strategies provided opportunities and experiences for various lifestyle
components(physical activity, eating habits, social relationships, and social participation), and became plans for improvement, value formation,
and habit formation (knowldge, evaluation, experience, and planning). Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted to examine
behavioral changes in lifestyle, value system, self-efficacy, and satisfaction at the end of the intervention. For data analysis, frequency analysis,
descriptive statistics, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were performed using SPSS 26.0. Lifestyle change, values, and self-efficacy increased
after the intervention, but they were nor statistically significant. Satisfaction with the application of the intervention strategy was found to
be very high. Through this study, we confirmed the possibility of lifestyle change in the elderly and at the same time confirmed the participants’
positive response to the introduction and application of the intervention strategy. Efforts to introduce and expand the application of intervention
strategies for the formation of healthy lifestyles for the elderly should be continued.

Published: August 2023

This study verified the moderating effect of technology literacy on the relationship between social activities and the emotional well-being of the middle-aged, young-old, and old-old groups. To this end, we conducted the ｢2019 Technology Adoption Study of Middle-aged
and Older Koreans(TASK)｣. We collected data from 500 community-dwelling Koreans aged 55 years and older. After that, performed analysis
of variance(ANOVA) and controlled regression analysis by dividing the age group into 247 middle-aged(55-64 years old), 140 young-old
groups(65-74 years old), and 113 old-old groups(75 years or older). As a result, in the case of middle-aged and young-old groups, social
activity and technology literacy had a significant effect on emotional well-being. The middle-aged found technology literacy to have a moderating
effect. However, the case of the old-old group found that social activities did not have a statistical relationship with emotional well-being.
Therefore, this study expanded the academic discussion by examining the effects of social activities on the emotional well-being of middle-aged,
young-old, and old-old. In particular, the practical and policy implications of promoting a high level of emotional well-being by enhancing
technology literacy for middle-aged people and maximizing the positive impact of social activities on emotional well-being were proposed.

Published: August 2023

In this modern era, there is a significant rise in stock market price which attracts the shareholders of the company. The shareholders, as well as the investor, show a great interest in the analysis and prediction of the stock market which eventually makes the investors and other speculators invest some good fortune in the company. A good prognosis may result in meaningful benefits. In today's life, more optimized models and different outlooks and analyzing trends are created over time. The analyzing framework used in this work is Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) which is a part of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for long term dependencies. With the use of these algorithms with proper parameters precise results can be obtained. This can be done by collecting a dataset that consists of stock market data with all the opening and closing prices of stock having to be measured with several hidden layers and different units. With the result of this method, a more accurate prediction of the stock market is possible with historical datasets.

Published: August 2023

In this article, the effects of conventional drilling parameters on the surface roughness of holes in hybrid fibre composites were investigated and quantified. A sample of a hybrid fibre composite with E-glass, hemp, and flax fibre reinforcements was fabricated by the hand lay-up method and subjected to drilling tests under different operating conditions by varying the drilling process parameters (drill diameter, spindle speed, and feed rate). The average surface roughness (Ra in µm) of the drilled hole was measured for each set of conditions. The results were subjected to statistical analysis (ANOVA) to determine the effects of process parameters on the measured variable. The calculations show that a combination of drill diameter and spindle speed, as well as drill diameter and feed rate, are the most important determinants of variation in bore surface roughness. A simple regression equation with linear terms was then established to model the observed interactions between the input and output variables. The equation was able to accurately model the behaviour of surface roughness, showing that this methodology can be extrapolated for use with different machining processes and/or materials. The 3-factor analysis ANOVA, performed with a confidence level of 95% and a statistical significance of a p-value less than 0.05, showed that the drill diameter ranked first and made the largest contribution (82.394% contribution), followed by the feed rate (16.719% contribution) and the spindle speed (0.6199% contribution). Regression modelling using linear regression yielded an R2 value of 0.8015 and using the power-law equation yielded an R2 value of 0.8796.

Towards an Ecological Architecture: On Energy and High-Density Dwelling
Authors: Kaska Sena
Published: August 2023

Rapid changes in climate and the increase in global population are putting great stress on cities and creating an important discourse on the relationship between energy, ecology, and high-density dwellings. Today’s notion of sustainable design and its incremental improvements to reducing energy use will be insufficient to accommodate the increasing future energy and dwelling demands, as well as to maintain the viability of urban human habitats. There is a great opportunity to maximize thermodynamic interdependencies and better connect processes of systems ecology to dwelling design. This thesis, therefore, critiques today’s notion of sustainability and urban housing practices and introduces the principles, processes, and interpretations of energy dynamics into dwelling design in order to culminate a new conceptualization of high-density dwellings that offer new spatial possibilities for prosperous human habitats. 
Open Architecture
Authors: Plummer Michael L.
Published: August 2023

There is a dynamic relationship between the built environment and those who dwell within it. Dwellers both influence, and are influenced by the everyday environment they inhabit. For architecture to make meaningful contributions to these environments, it must privilege the input and energy of the dweller. This calls for an architecture that is open to participation throughout its planning, design and building process; an open architecture. Conversely, closed architecture is focused on individual object-making. Pure form and aesthetics are prioritized over participation. Personal modification over time individualizes the sculptural vision of the artist-architect. Using emerging open-source and fabrication technology, open architecture establishes the natural relationship between dweller and dwelling. The dweller; and their unique needs and insights, is included within the architectural process. This results in a personalized dwelling that remains flexible, resilient and sustainable. 
Disobedient Architecture: Lessons from the Autonomous Zone
Authors: Terentii Cristina
Published: August 2023

Throughout the history of state-building, systems in power were translated into urban architecture. Public spaces and buildings were designed to maintain order and reinforce the socio-political narrative – architecture became a tool of support to the status quo. In response to the harmful practices, citizens show their collective dissatisfaction in various forms of disobedience, such as protest. The disobedient assemblage of bodies and objects within the urban fabric has the potential to challenge the status quo, and re-organize power structures ingrained in physical space.

During the summer of 2020, the protest demonstrations culminated in the creation of the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (C.H.A.Z.) in Seattle. The architectural potential of disobedience will be revealed through the study of harmful narratives ingrained in physical space, as well as how C.H.A.Z. challenged them. The research culminates in the final project of the disobedient People Zone: temporality, adaptability, and locality expressed in built form, with intent to continuously support the civic voice.  
Structural Qualification of a Developed GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Bridge Barrier using Ultimate Load Testing

Corrosion of reinforcing steel bars is the main factor affecting durability and service life of steel-reinforced bridge barriers in North America. The use of glass fiber reinforcing polymer (GFRP) bars as non-corrosive material has emerged as an innovative solution to corrosion related problems. A recent cost-effective design of PL-3 bridge barrier was developed at Ryerson University incorporating high-modulus GFRP bars with headed ends. An experimental program was conducted to investigate the load carrying capacity of the developed barrier wall. A 40-m long barrier was constructed and tested at four different locations to investigate its structural behavior, crack pattern and ultimate strength when subjected to the equivalent static loading simulating vehicle impact. Experimental results were compared with the design values specified in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. Experimental findings showed a large margin of safety for the proposed GFRP-reinforced barriers. The failure pattern due to transversal loading the longitudinal barrier over 2400 mm length was initiated by a trapezoidal flexural crack pattern at front face of the barrier, followed by punching shear failure at the transverse load location. Comparison between the available punching shear equations in the literature and the punching shear failure developed in the barrier wall was conducted.

Amidst environmental challenges, natural calamities, poverty, and social disparities, the imperative to nurture sustainable practices that benefit the environment, economy, and society has grown more pronounced. The paradigm of green economics embodies efforts to elevate human well-being while upholding ecological sustainability. In the context of green economics within developing nations, the role of community practices becomes integral through the lens of community partnerships, which bolster community endeavors in achieving their objectives. Nevertheless, the lack of substantial empirical investigations into partnerships related to green economy practices remains conspicuous. This research aims to scrutinize community partnerships’ manifestations within the green economy practices domain. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the study delves extensively into the practices encompassing organic coffee cultivation in Aceh, apiculture in West Sumatra, mangrove conservation in East Kalimantan, and waste management in Jakarta. Data collection involves in-depth interviews, direct observations, and focused group discussions within each locality, subjecting the data to thematic analysis. The study unveils several noteworthy findings. Firstly, community partnerships related to green economy practices emerge as collaborative endeavors that collectively empower communities to address economic and environmental challenges. Secondly, the configurations of community partnerships assume diverse forms, spanning from community-initiated efforts to those instigated by businesses or governmental entities. Thirdly, partnership engagements may involve a single community or extend to multiple communities within a region. Lastly, the research identifies establishing robust social institutions within communities as a foundational step toward executing community partnership endeavors that underpin green economic practices within Indonesian society. The social implications of this study furnish invaluable insights for the grassroots implementation of green economic practices. From an academic perspective, this research holds the potential to contribute to the evolution of partnership models within the realm of community development in the context of green economic activities.
