Doxiadis’ Ekistics Imperative and the Paradox of Ecumenopolis
Authors: Major Mark , Atour Raya , Tannous Heba O , Albatarani Louna H. , John Deepthi
Published: June 2023

Constantinos A. Doxiadis was a leading architectural and urban theorist during the 20th century. At the dawn of the Information Age, he renewed the call for a science of human settlements, which he termed ekistics. Current debate inevitably revolves around his legacy in the field. Our paper briefly reviews Doxiadis’ thinking about settlements and science, focusing on the state of ekistic thinking today based on the case study of Metropolitan Athens and the Attica Region in Greece using space syntax. We also evaluate the inherent potentials and pitfalls of his ecumenopolis (a world city) concept, arguing that it remains too abstract and impractical of an idea for today’s world. Nonetheless, Doxiadis’ intellectual legacy is profound. We conclude that architects, urban designers, and town planners should continue to develop Doxiadis’ ideas about dynapolis (dynamic city) and entopia (in place) in addressing placemaking in cities for people today and tomorrow
Ekistics: Conception, Propagation, and Relevance - An Historical Review
Authors: Nagashima Catharine
Published: June 2023

This paper describes how ekistics was conceived by Constantinos Doxiadis and the means by which it was propagated. Besides applying ekistic principles to actual projects at Doxiadis Associates (DA), he supervised research at the Athens Center for Ekistics (ACE) and trained future ekisticians at the Graduate School of Ekistics (GSE). Personal anecdotes are included about the Ekistics Journal, the Delos Symposia, the World Society for Ekistics (WSE) and the activities of various Branch Societies. The dedication is to Panayis Psomopoulos who brought ekistics into the twenty-first century and the loyal team who supported him.

The second part of the paper delves into Ekistic theory, introducing the five disciplines, the five elements, population scale, ecumenopolis, ecumenokepos, the Ekistic Grid, territorial scale, the Anthropocosmos model and Entopia (between utopia and dystopia). Along the way we meet examples of applied ekistics, ranging from regional planning in China to organizing the sessions of a WSE conference to planning for the forthcoming sequel to the Sustainable Development Goals. The conclusion is, let us, like Arnold Toynbee, be inspired to pursue ekistics as long as we keep our life and our wits.
Jaqueline Tyrwhitt’s Contribution: From the 7th C.I.A.M. Grid to the Ekistics Grid
Authors: Felekoura Natalia , Tsiambaos Kostas
Published: June 2023

In this essay we are discussing a turning point in the urban thinking of the 20th century related to the transition from a static view of the city to a view of the city as an evolving living organism. We are exploring the paradigm shift from the urban grid of the 7th C.I.A.M. to the urban grid of the last phase of the science of Ekistics (C. A. Doxiadis) by focusing on the contribution of Jaqueline Tyrwhitt. First, we analyze the urban grid as a result of the considerations of the post war functionalist urbanism of the 7th C.I.A.M. Then we present the basic characteristics of the science of the human settlements called Ekistics and analyze its grid accordingly. Comparing the two grids, we highlight the introduction of the concepts of ‘change’ and ‘system’ as distinctive of the above-mentioned paradigm shift. Third, we explain Jaqueline Tyrwhitt’s contribution in this paradigm shift. Finally, we explain how Tyrwhitt formulated her own humanistic and ecological conception of urban planning having been influenced by the biologist and urban planner Patrick Geddes and his conception of the city as a living organism, which was part of the wider interaction between concepts in biology and the social sciences.
Ekistics as a Place Theory
Authors: Karaoz Melodi Pak
Published: June 2023

Constantinos A. Doxiadis’s entopia is a multidisciplinary design and planning system against the dystopian conditions of the mid-twentieth century. Embodying the criticism of the period’s architectural and urban trends, C. A. Doxiadis coined entopia as a practicable concept between “unattainable” utopia and “existing” dystopia in 1966 as a complementary term for ekistics’ principles to provide healthy living conditions for the oncoming world city, ecumenopolis. This paper examines Entopia’s historical and spatial context by investigating the uniqueness of the concept among the place theories of the same era, aiming to re-open a discussion of ekistics.

Entopia suggests a dynapolis (dynamic city) model and integrates a grid plan for accessibility and adequate mobility. The idea originates from the need for a human-oriented approach for future settlements of developing countries, new towns to be built, and existing settlements to be transformed in the direction of emerging needs. In this context, the paper first focuses on the grid plan and linear city model as antecedents of entopia’s dynamic city model. Secondly, modernist utopias are examined to compare entopia and other …topia projections. Thirdly, the place theories of the 1960s are criticized as the contemporary debates of entopia.

Published: June 2023

Gait recognition has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications in various fields, including surveillance, security, and healthcare. Biometric gait identification, which involves recognizing individuals based on their walking patterns, is a challenging task due to the inherent variations in gait caused by factors such as clothing, footwear, and walking speed. In this paper, we propose a computational intelligence approach for biometric gait identification. Specifically, we integrate an intelligent convolutional model to identify human gaits based on the inertial sensory data captured from the body movement during the human walk. Extensive experiments on two datasets demonstrated that the efficiency of the proposed approach outperforms the existing methods. Our approach has the potential to be used in real-world applications such as surveillance systems and healthcare monitoring, where accurate and efficient identification of individuals based on their gait is crucial.
Principles and applications of wireless energy transmission
Authors: Chen Shaoqi
Published: June 2023

In this day and age, people's lives are inextricably linked to electricity, which is being used more and more in everyday life. The traditional transmission of electrical energy usually uses materials such as metal wires and cables as the transmission medium, and the losses and potential damage (line deterioration, tip discharges) caused by this transmission medium are inevitable. The introduction of radio has been very effective in reducing this situation, and the development of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has seen three major developments since then, with Tesla lighting a phosphorescent lamp at the Colombian World's Fair in 1893, igniting hopes for WPT. This new way of transmitting electrical energy has expanded the imagination of people in terms of power supply methods by making it possible to provide more freedom in situations where cable charging is not suitable.The working theory, fundamental design, and potential applications of wireless energy transmission technology are covered in this study. By doing this, it offers insight into the development and use of wireless energy transmission technology as it is now. In the end, it is envisaged that the market will adopt wireless energy transfer technology extensively.

Published: June 2023

To mitigate or avoid losses caused by earthquakes, it is necessary to understand them deeply. In our project, two idealized second-story structures with different properties with multi-degree of freedom-free vibration will be analyzed. The displacement response of the first structure is analyzed under the conditions with and without an available load by the modal superposition method. As a result, the properties, including the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the second-floor story shears, have also been obtained. Moreover, the same properties of the second structure are obtained, too, except for the story shear. Moreover, the displacement response of each phase of the impulsive loading of the second structure is also computed by using Duhamel Integral.

The Influence of Force Majeure of Non-government Factors on People's Willingness to Insurance in China
Authors: Chen Yuxuan
Published: June 2023

Except for investors, people usually regard insurance as a tool to transfer unknown risks. We believe that insurance can minimise financial losses when a risk occurs and reduce people's fears when disaster strikes. Therefore, some scholars put forward the hypothesis that people's willingness to buy insurance is related to some force majeure. From the perspective of behavioral finance, this paper selects indicators such as the rate of return of insurance stocks and insurance search index as proxy variables for insurance willingness. It also selects natural disasters and epidemics as proxy variables for force majeure other than government actions (referred to as force majeure in the text). Regression analysis was carried out on the above variables, and it was concluded that force majeure other than government actions was positively correlated with people's willingness to purchase insurance.

With the development of China's financial derivatives market, China needs to pay more attention to the management of interest rate risk, and commercial banks should avoid interest rate risk typically through the role of derivatives. China's financial markets have been opened up to the rest of the world, and many international factors are influencing the changes in our financial markets. This paper focuses on the function of interest rate derivatives and their impact on commercial banks in China. This is an important step for commercial banks in China to take in order to reform and improve themselves. Using interest rate derivatives to enable banks to reduce their operational risks and to ensure the safety of China's financial system is the goal of this paper. According to the findings of the research, the adoption of interest rate derivatives can help commercial banks decrease their exposure to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Feds Monetary Policy and Dynamic Changes in Stock Prices of Large Supermarket Chain
Authors: He Jiabei
Published: June 2023

The U.S. is experiencing the highest inflation in 40 years, and prices have been rising. The Fed adjusts this rate to achieve one goal - to maintain maximum employment and price stability in the United States. But the Fed's sharp rate hikes also raise the risk of a sharp slowdown, especially as new challenges emerge, such as Russia's war with Ukraine and China's capacity problems due to Covid lockdowns. This article assesses the impact of Fed rate hikes on the supermarket stock market. This paper builds a VAR model and an ARMA-GARCH model to analyze changes in stock prices from the perspective of value and volatility. This paper finds that Fed rate hikes unsurprisingly negatively impacted stock returns and increased their volatility, leaving stock prices in an unpredictable situation. The research paper can give the Fed a reference data. When the Fed decides to raise interest rates, it needs to consider the current world economic situation. For example, flu and war will affect the world economy, and will also have some impact when the Fed raises interest rates.
Behavior and design of earthquake resistant concrete structure
Authors: Yang Zhuyu
Published: June 2023

Earthquake and seismic-resistant concrete structures are essential components and requirements of structural design. The performance and response of concrete structures during/after the earthquake event are significant to determine the condition of the structures as well as to identify the possibility of structural failure. The main objective is to investigate the appropriate method to evaluate the impact on the structure due to earthquakes based on closed-form solutions, and to determine its differences with the results of numerical modelling. The seismic behavior of structures is required to be designed in accordance with the minimum design requirements specified in the Standard. Seismic design, where ground behavior is considered, is presented as a significant part of design analyses, and ground movement and shaking, are associated with the ground deformation which is the primary seismic load consideration for the design of plain or reinforced concrete structures. The outcome of the longitudinal analysis provided the maximum axial and bending strain which is adopted to calculate the combined strain. These results of strain are considered with the design of concrete structures against Ultimate Limit State and Service Limit State design phases. Therefore, the results evaluate the effect of seismic design on the performance of the concrete structure.
Retrosynthesis-Introduction to the Analysis and Mechanism
Authors: Liu Luhao , Zheng Jiaying
Published: June 2023

In organic chemistry, organic synthesis is a special branch of chemical synthesis. Chemical synthesis is a fundamental concept, which is usually expressed in the physical and chemical manipulation of reactions, starting with the selection of reagents and ending with the production of reactants. Organic synthesis is also similar, but it is worth noting that the conditions for the construction of organic molecules by various organic reactions are often more complex in terms of structure, including functional groups, polycyclic structures, stereoselectivity and other structural issues. Under the conditions of organic synthesis, "retrosynthesis" is an important method to solve its synthetic routes, which are simpler and easier to design and conceptualize than organic synthesis, total synthesis and asymmetric synthesis under the influence of many reaction mechanisms, concepts and factors. Therefore, we will explain in detail the feasibility, convenience, and applicability of the retrosynthesis routes through five aspects: background, concepts, factors, terms, and mechanisms of retrosynthesis analysis.
The Introduction of Different Types of OLEDs
Authors: Cheng Zhendong , Yan Zimeng
Published: June 2023

As display technology advances, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted a lot of attention worldwide due to their light weight, flexibility, wide viewing angle, etc. This paper briefly introduces the history and the different historical OLEDs, including phosphorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), and triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA). Then, this article mainly presents two kinds of OLEDs. The first is small-molecule OLED with typical three organic layers. The purity of the material is quite high, and it can produce high-quality films with high fluorescence quantum efficiency, which can produce a variety of colors of light. Its disadvantages are poor thermal stability and limited carrier transport capacity. The second is polymer based OLED. Compared with small molecule organic luminescence materials, polymer materials have higher physical strength, better processibility, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. In this regard, recent research progress and the comparison between these two types of OLEDs are proposed. They both are considered the most promising display technologies.

Authors: Mulyanto Rudi
Published: June 2023

At first 10 (ten) cases studied by the author were cases of divorce applications. However, in the trial process, the wife filed a counterclaim called a reconvention lawsuit to claim her rights. The rights demanded are such as living, mut'ah, iddah, madhiyah, or hadhanah as well as gono-gini assets. However, not all counterclaims were granted by the panel of judges based on various considerations. To find out, the researcher formulated two problem formulations, namely: 1. How is the legal protection for the plaintiffs of reconciliation if their rights are not obtained in accordance with the Court's decision which has permanent legal force, 2. Can the implementation of the Court's decision be carried out effectively.This research is an empirical research that uses descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach. Sources of data were collected through interviews with several relevant informants, namely the panel of judges, the Registrar of the Banyuwangi Religious Court. Literature and documentation in the form of copies of decisions, books were also used as further data sources. After the data is collected, the data is processed by editing, classifying, and grouping according to the problem formulation. Then, it is reviewed and analyzed by connecting the data and literature review.The conclusions of this study are: 1) Efforts to protect the wife by providing a living have been carried out to the maximum. However, these efforts do not always run smoothly, because the husband does not make it happen. In article 34 of Law Number 1 of 1974 in conjunction with article 80 (4) the Compilation of Islamic Law, it has been determined about the kinds of rights that a wife can claim when divorced by her husband in court, and if the husband is unable to fulfill the expenses decided by the Religious Court, the panel of judges will postpone the implementation of the ikrtalak for 6 (six) months. 2) The implementation of the Court's decision is not all carried out effectively and according to expectations, this is due to the husband's mediocre level of economic ability.

Importance and Necessity of Peace Education in the School Curriculum for Fostering International Perspective
Authors: Manzoor Bhat Rashid , Laxmi Jamatia Purna
Published: June 2023

The rise of materialism and militarism was promoted by the industrial revolution. Indirectly, militarism affected the outbreak of war by encouraging the growth of the armaments industry. In order to create the reality of battle, cultural and educational manipulations are used to reinforce group identification and build images of the enemy as well as their possibilities. Denial of human values leads to the death of innocent civilians, especially children and women, as a result of the tendency to dehumanise the enemy. Love, camaraderie, and worldwide understanding are instilled and built via Peace Education. The term "peace education" is not synonymous with "education for peace." In the case of the latter, peace is included in the curriculum. In the first case, peace is used as a guiding principle in the schooling process. Education for peace is not just training for a job; it is education for life. Education for peace aims to teach people the values, skills, and attitudes they need to be wholesome individuals who live in harmony with others and as responsible citizens. Peace education serves as a preventative measure to keep youngsters from becoming entangled in the societal norms that perpetuate violence. It's about learning the skills, attitudes and values that will help you build and maintain peace.

This research is about the effect of Bank Soundness level which is measured using the CAMEL ratio with Profitability of Conventional Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). In this study, the Capital is proxied by the CAR ratio, Earning is proxied by the NPL ratio, the Management is proxied by the NIM ratio, the Equity is proxied by the BOPO ratio, Liquidity is proxied by the LDR ratio, as a dependent variable, and profitability is proxied by ROA (Return on Assets) as an independent variable. The object of research in this study is Conventional Banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period 2019-2021, with 30 Conventional Banks. The data of this research is from the annual financial reports of each bank. Which is processed by using the Multiple Linear Regression analysis. The result of research is that CAR affects profitability, this means that banks can manage capital to generate profits. NPL does not affect profitability because every year there are bad loans, so the NPL value is uncertain. NIM does not affect profitability because the bank can minimize bad loans with its productive assets. BOPO has a negative effect on profitability because with minimal costs it can generate maximum income. LDR has no effect on profitability because lending is not proportional to credit quality.

Married people were more common in the healthy control group (p=0.005). AII psychopathology scales were significantly higher in the psychosis group (all p values <0.001).The internal consistency of the BaPS-SF was high (Cronbach a=0.898). lt was determined that the BaPS-SF has a three-factor structure: survival strategy, normalizing beliefs and negative beliefs. lt was determined that the MCR has a three-factor structure: social control and reassurance seeking, threat monitoring and avoidance and conscious self-regulation attempts The internal consistency of the subscales ranged from 0.867 to 0.876.
Discussion: Current results show that BaPS-SF and MCR are valid and reliable for Turkish population.

Published: June 2023

As part of the overall focus on the democratic backsliding in Hungary since Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz reassumed power in 2010, numerous international observers have expressed concern regarding increasing Hungarian influence in the Western Balkans. Specifically, many fear that through intensified meddling in Western Balkan affairs, Orbán’s Hungary would spread its illiberal influence throughout the region and subsequently undermine broader EU policy. In 2019, the process leading to the appointment of Olivér Várhelyi (a Hungarian diplomat close to Orbán) to the position of the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement garnered a salvo of criticism. While this incident briefly attracted the European media floodlights to the topic, the issue of Hungarian influence in the region of the Western Balkans quickly faded into a relative obscurity. Apart from few exceptions and a handful of journalistic accounts (which will be quoted extensively throughout the study), there are little to no attempts to analyse and explain Hungarian foreign and trade policy in the Western Balkans. What interests and strategic considerations drive Hungarian foreign and trade policy in the region? What are Hungarian foreign policy priorities and what instruments does Hungarian foreign policy have at its disposal in the region? Is Orbán’s Western Balkan policy marked by a total discontinuity with regards to previous Hungarian foreign policy towards the region? Who formulates foreign policy priorities in Hungary and what is the interplay between formal and informal actors? What economic interests shape Hungarian foreign policy in the region? How much has Hungarian foreign policy in the region changed as a result of war in Ukraine? To answer these questions, this paper is divided into four main sections. The first focuses on Hungary’s foreign policy strategy in the region. The second, as a special case study, investigates the effects of Orbán’s minority politics in Serbia’s Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Vajdaság in Hungarian). The third, researching Hungarian media empire in the region, and finally the fourth focusing on the economic drivers of Hungary’s approach in the region.

Consolidation is often employed as an alternative to expand and enlarge the business market, consequently impacting the company's profitability. This study aims to analyze the effect of company consolidation on profitability levels, utilizing financial ratios such as Return On Assets (ROA), Return On Equity (ROE), and Return On Investment (ROI) as indicators. It employs a quantitative approach, utilizing secondary data derived from the consolidated financial statements of Semen Indonesia Tbk. companies.
