Gaussian Pulses over Random Topographies for the Linear Euler Equations
Authors: Flamarion M. V. , Ribeiro-Jr R.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates numerically the interaction between a Gaussian pulse and variable topography using the linear Euler equations. The impact of topography variation on the amplitude and behavior of the wave pulse is examined through numerical simulations and statistical analysis. On one hand, we show that for slowly varying topographies, the incoming pulse almost retains its shape, and little energy is transferred to the small reflected waves. On the other hand, we demonstrate that for rapidly varyingtopographies, the shape of the pulse is destroyed, which is different from previous studies.

Authors: Siddiqui Noman Ahmed , Qadri Tahir , Tayyab Muhammad , Shahid Umaira , Raza Sadaf
Published: May 2024

A significant increase in medical-related cases of brain neoplasm has been noticed in the past few years affecting not only adults but children as well. Brain neoplasm segmentation isolated the different abnormal brain tissues from normal brain tissues which are complicated tasks in medical image examination. But simultaneously it plays a crucial role in time diagnosis which not only improved the treatment possibilities but also increased the rate of survival of the patients because a brain neoplasm is a treatable kind of cancer if diagnose well on time. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based segmentation are a more focused, attractive, and attentive study area in recent few years because MRI is noninvasive imaging, safe, and cost-effective. Detection of brain neoplasm using the manual procedure of segmentation is an extremely difficult, time-consuming, expensive, and individual task because large data of MRI images are produced in clinical practice which may delay the diagnosis. This increases the practical significance of the automatic segmentation techniques but due to brain neoplasm being extremely unpredictable concerning position, appearance, type, and size improving the methods for state-of-the-art segmentation process remain a complex task. To segment the brain neoplasm accurately, automatic segmentation is a solution with better performance. The goal of this paper provides an organized literature survey for recent MRI-based automatic brain neoplasm segmentation techniques with the modern participation of several researchers which helps new researchers in exploring future directions. There are several current surveys focused on traditional methods, but this paper focuses on recent trends including machine learning techniques accompanied by transfer learning, deep learning, neural network, and hybridization. Moreover, this survey also presents the findings and limitations of each article which show the effectiveness of the proposed work. Finally, this survey, found that after over two decades of research, the novel methods for segmenting brain neoplasms using computer-aided techniques are becoming more and more refined and becoming closer to being used often in clinical settings but in terms of computing complexity and memory consumption, these approaches lag.

Imperative Values of a Logical Forgiveness
Authors: Naik Abhayraj
Published: May 2024

This article deals with the nuances of the concept of 'forgiveness' and its role in shaping law and societal institutions. In the background of Aurel Kolnai's notions on the act of forgiveness, the author analyses the different conceptualizations of forgiveness. The logical paradox of forgiveness as formulated by Kolnai is considered. The article argues that the notion of 'divine forgiveness' is not vulnerable to this paradox. Hence there is a need for interpersonal forgiveness to adopt some of the premises on which divine forgiveness is based on. The critical interrelations between the concepts of forgiveness, patience and trust and their role in approximating interpersonal forgiveness with divine forgiveness are discussed.
Max Weber on Property: An Effort in Interpretative Understanding
Authors: Ford Laura R
Published: May 2024

In this article, Laura Ford explores Max Weber's writings on the subject of property. Weber, in his first dissertation, articulated legally and historically, the conception of property as a phenomenon that was dependent on organised social relationships and somewhat closed to outside participation. Later, he formulated this conception sociologically and systematically connected it to additional concepts. Ford engages with Weber's work in three broad phases (the legal phase of his first dissertation, the economic-historical phase and finally the sociological phase) in order to examine if any sociological issues emerge from the same.

Published: May 2024

In this article, the author studies the conflict in Sri Lanka, and identifies and describes two sources of its intractability: fractured fronts and maximalist goals. The artile seeks to reveal that while the Sri Lankan governments recent military onslaught against the LTTE has been surprisingly successful, history is clear that a meaningful solution to the conflict in Sri Lanka will be found not on the battlefield but in the hearts and minds of the Sri Lankan people. The causes of the conflict are several - an analysis of these sources of intractabily involves both a backward looking appreciation of the events, perspectives and trends that fractured a nation as well as a forward looking transformative outlook towards a shared deliberative reality. The author believes that while the current military success against the LTTE coinddes with a wave of collective Sri Lankan anguish at the country' grim predicament. For several reasons, the present represents apotential moment of critical realignment in Sri Lanka. An analysis of the institutional, historical and ideological bases of the conflict indicates dfferent channels that the public sphere will have to simultaneously destroy and create if such a critical realignment is to be serendipitousy realised.
Is Law Just a Means to an End
Authors: Cotterrell Roger
Published: May 2024

This paper examines the claim that law, in complex modern societies, is merely a tool or instrument of private, sectional or governmental purposes. To put matters in perspective, it considers ways in which shared tradiions, common values, emotional allegiances and convergent individual interests have been thought, by legal and social theorists, to be foundations for law - the basis of a 'common good' which law serves. The paper argues that these theoretical views remain instructive. In contemporary multicultural societies there are diverse social foundations on which law's authority and effectiveness depend. The conception of law as 'a means to an end' is not adequate to characterise these foundations

Architectural Porosity: Reading The Change of Inhabitation in Urban Heritage Area
Authors: Saginatari Diandra , Hale Jonathan , Collett Tim
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the idea of architectural porosity, which intends to see the material and socio-spatial porosity of the built material as a conceptual framework of architectural inquiry that can be utilised to unfold architectural phenomena in different contexts. Therefore, this paper is exploratory, and the exploration intends to unfold architectural phenomena in the context of a revitalised urban heritage area. Urban heritage areas are prone to changes through regeneration or revitalisation projects. The changes result not only in physical change but within the social, economic, and cultural aspects. By addressing the dynamic, complex, and interrelated changes in the urban heritage context, the exploration in this paper is guided by an overarching question: What will architectural porosity unfold in terms of the change of inhabitation in a revitalised urban heritage area? This question will be explored by utilising the idea of assemblage thinking as a qualitative methodological approach to read an empirical case of Semarang Old Town, Indonesia, as a revitalised urban heritage area. The exploration shows that architectural porosity unfolds the relation and entanglement between material and socio-spatial porosities in the change of inhabitation in Semarang Old Town. Furthermore, architectural porosity, as architectural inquiry, could be one of the ways of approaching urban heritage context that unfolds the possibility of incorporating natural ecological cycles of plants, decay, and informal inhabitation, which are usually denied by the conventional revitalisation practice, as alternative voices in the discussion of urban heritage revitalisation.
Effective Elements and Interior Typologies in The Public Space Construction of Shopping Centers
Authors: Şahin Fatih , Çevik Sonay
Published: May 2024

Shopping centres, which are urban public spaces, support environments where different groups living in the city can be together and symbolize their power. These environments, which respond differently to today’s sociality and daily life, affect the awareness of publicity and direct the formation of physical architecture and social space. While the urban model setup is used against the problem of large-scale building solution under a single roof/cover in shopping malls, it brings together the urban spaces scattered in the city and gives the human communication/interaction process with entertainment culture. The discourse of being an alternative to the city centre, which brings people together, connects time and space, and intertwines activities that vary, prevails in shopping centre designs. In this study, the differentiated interior plan types of shopping malls in Turkey are extracted in the physical context with the spatial analysis, and the intensity of use and supported objects/elements specific to the focus spaces are determined. In the social context, the spatial continuity of the existing public space phenomenon in the city in the common use areas (foci) of shopping centres is evaluated through subjective perception. Beyond similar architectural examples with the effect of globalization and consumption habits, different interior typologies are shown for the designs of new shopping centres, and the effective elements of publicity fiction are discussed.

The research advocates for minimal intervention principles in adaptive reuse projects, ensuring the historical and cultural values of the buildings are considered. Furthermore, it highlights that these projects should not only focus on physical restoration but also faster social and cultural interaction. Adaptive reuse projects in the Kadıköy region have been developed in line with these principles, creating active and functional spaces that respond to community needs. These projects successfully demonstrate how the preservation and active use of historical buildings can contribute to regional and cultural sustainability. Finally, the research addresses the challenges encountered in the preservation and adaptive reuse of historical buildings in Turkey, discussing legal, economic, and technical issues, and offers suggestions for effective strategies in this field. The aim is to increase awareness and develop efficient strategies for the preservation of Turkey’s historical structures.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar como a pluralidade de abordagens teórico-metodológicas associadas à Psicologia se manifesta na formação do psicólogo.  Para tanto, esta pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma análise curricular, de abordagem qualitativa, dos cursos de graduação em Psicologia de quatro Universidades brasileiras. Identificou-se uma certa disparidade de oferta e carga horária entre as disciplinas vinculadas a abordagens teórico-metodológicas, demonstrando uma ênfase nas perspectivas psicanalítica, comportamentalista, seguida da fenomenológica. Considerando as tradições historicamente imbricadas no terreno da Psicologia, salienta-se a necessidade de uma formação acadêmica que comporte a alteridade. Por sua vez, nutrida por um efetivo diálogo, por parte de alunos e professores, a partir de distintos referenciais teórico-metodológicos.
La ciudad contemporánea: identidad y patrimonio
Authors: Rocha Irving Samadhi Aguilar
Published: May 2024

Los habitantes de los pueblos o espacios rurales sufren transformaciones en su estilo de vida con la expansión de la ciudad a mancha urbana, generando la aparición de las formas de vida modernas y tecnológicas que se desarrollan en éstos y a las cuales se adaptan. Las prácticas de agricultura poco a poco son desplazadas ante las nuevas tecnologías de la urbanización; junto con ello las costumbres y tradiciones se modificarán creando una combinación, entre lo urbano y lo rural, poniendo sobre la mesa la discusión entorno la identidad de los habitantes. Ejemplo de esto, es el poblado de Ocotepec, en el estado de Morelos, el proceso de urbanización que tiene es evidente. Lo interesante de Ocotepec consiste en el hecho que, en el 2014, la UNESCO le otorgo al pueblo de Ocotepec el patrimonio inmaterial cultural, por sus costumbres del Día de Muertos y es considerado pueblo indígena. Esto fue posible porque frente a la expansión de la ciudad y su urbanización se contempló dentro discurso político de la UNESCO para proteger este patrimonio. De aquí que se vuelva fundamental abordad el tema de la identidad, patrimonio y las ciudades contemporáneas caracterizadas como “machas urbanas” de modo qu pueda abrir la reflexión, de corte filosófico, en torno al dos categorías que nos permitirían analizar éstas, se trata del lugar y no lugar de la mano de Marc Auge.

Introduction: Anubias sp. “White” is distinguished from other Anubias species by mutation. The leaves are white and green, which is popular and has great market demand. The growth of this aquarium plant is slow.
 
Method: The combination of adenine sulfate (Ads) and 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) into Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. A comparison of three substrate materials, i.e., filter pads (FP), husk ash granules (HAG) and rockwool (RW) were used in ex-vitro acclimatization of the plantlets.
 
Results: Ads and BAP had combined effects on the plantlets, leaves and roots of the apical bud (p<0.05). The treatment with only BAP at 0.5 mg/L in MS medium obtained the highest number of shoots, which was 7.40 shoots/explant (p<0.05). There is an interaction between 25 mg/L Ads and 1-1.5 mg/L BAP to induce callus. The treatments with HAG were better than the other planting materials in terms of growth performance (p<0.05). HAG yielded the best growth (fresh weight of 0.74 g/plant), which was better than FP and RW, respectively, and showed a significant (p<0.05) difference in terms of root number and plant height except root length.
 
Conclusion: There was an interaction between 25 mg/L Ads and 1-1.5 mg/L BAP to induce callus. The treatment with only BAP at 0.5 mg/L in MS medium obtained the highest number of shoots, which was 7.40 shoots/explant (p<0.05). The HAG as a planting medium was the optimal ex-vitro acclimatization of Anubias sp. ‘white’ plantlets.
