Published: November 2024

After other previous proposals for educational innovation, in which it was found that the early collaborative implementation of specific technologies related to architectural surveying led to an improvement in the acquisition of fundamental concepts related to the appropriation and graphic description of form, in a new experience carried out in this academic year 2023-2024 we wanted to deepen this approach and check whether it also leads to a similar improvement in the assimilation of graphic skills in relation to more complex architectural elements in the initial stages of Architectural Drawing.

Después de otras propuestas anteriores de innovación educativa, en las que se pudo comprobar que la temprana implementación colaborativa de tecnologías específicas relacionadas con el levantamiento arquitectónico conducía a una mejora en la adquisición de conceptos fundamentales relacionados con la apropiación y descripción gráfica de la forma, en una nueva experiencia realizada en este curso 2023-2024 se ha querido profundizar en este planteamiento y comprobar si conduce también a una mejora semejante en la asimilación de competencias gráficas en relación con elementos arquitectónicos más complejos en las etapas iniciales del Dibujo de Arquitectura.

Entre el imaginario y la técnica: herramientas gráficas para la conceptualización del paisaje
Authors: Gómez Lobo Noemí , Rodríguez Illanes Alba , Ribot Gil Silvia Guiomar
Published: November 2024

From the study of the properties of moss to the creation of atmospheres with artificial intelligence, the first course in landscape design explores the relationship between graphic communication and project conceptualization. Starting with the translation of each student's individual imaginary to interdisciplinary references that extend the landscape and architectural field to the artistic or philosophical, the learning process begins with the abstraction of the first intuitions and their translation into a personal graphic language. How to represent the environment, to realize landscapes that trace the relationships of the living, the everyday, the experiential, the phenomenological or the invisible? These and other questions about the interpretation and definition of landscape were explored through a combination of analog and digital tools. Throughout the course, the reworking of concepts through different techniques turns the project into a non-linear process, growing as specialists through one's own skills.

Desde la exploración de las propiedades del musgo hasta la generación de atmósferas con inteligencia artificial, el primer curso de paisajismo explora la interrelación entre comunicación gráfica y conceptualización de proyectos. Partiendo de la traducción del imaginario individual de cada estudiante a referentes interdisciplinares que amplían el ámbito paisajístico y arquitectónico al artístico o filosófico, el proceso de aprendizaje se inicia con la abstracción de las primeras intuiciones y su traducción a un lenguaje gráfico propio. ¿Cómo representar el entorno, implementando paisajes que trazan relaciones a partir de lo vivo, lo cotidiano, lo experiencial, lo fenomenológico o lo invisible? Esta y otras cuestiones sobre la interpretación y la definición de la idea de paisaje, se exploran combinando métodos analógicos y digitales. A lo largo del curso, la reelaboración de conceptos a través de diferentes técnicas, convierte el proyecto en un proceso no lineal, creciendo como especialistas a través de las propias habilidades.

Authors: Fernández Rodríguez Juan Francisco , Aguilar Alejandre María , Martín-Mariscal Amanda
Published: November 2024

This communication analyzes the teaching experience developed in the Artistic Expression subject of the Degree of Engineering in Industrial Design and Product Development at the University of Seville (2023-24), focused on the development of physical models and prototypes, through manual and digital techniques. Students are proposed to develop mandatory handwork models and voluntary digital manufacturing models as a tool associated with the design process. To do this, the purpose of the model within the design process is analyzed, as well as the phase when it is developed and the possible materials and techniques to be used. Thus, students develop handwork models in the initial phases of the design process, with an impact on decision-making at a geometric and formal level, and 3D manufacturing prototypes in more advanced phases, with a more finalist or presentation nature.

La presente comunicación analiza la experiencia llevada a cabo en la asignatura de Expresión Artística II del Grado en Ingeniería en Diseño Industrial y Desarrollo del Producto de la Universidad de Sevilla (2023-24), centrada en el desarrollo de maquetas y prototipos físicos, mediante técnicas manuales y digitales. Se propone a los estudiantes desarrollar maquetas manuales obligatorias y maquetas de fabricación digital voluntarias como herramienta asociada al proceso de diseño. Para ello, primero  se analiza el objetivo que ha de cumplir la maqueta dentro del proceso de diseño, la fase en la que se desarrolla y los posibles materiales y técnicas a emplear para llevarla a cabo. De esta forma, los estudiantes desarrollan maquetas manuales en fases iniciales del proceso de diseño, con incidencia en la toma de decisiones a nivel geométrico y formal, y prototipos de fabricación 3D en fases más avanzadas, con carácter más finalista o de presentación.
La creación de un espacio de aprendizaje virtual en torno al habitar contemporáneo
Authors: Alba Dorado María Isabel
Published: November 2024

In recent years we have witnessed a multitude of changes that make it necessary and urgent to rethink and redefine both the limits of the architectural discipline and those of its teaching. It is inevitable that the teaching of architecture in Spain must position itself in relation to the new approaches, services and considerations that society demands regarding the concept of living and, specifically, in relation to housing. This contribution aims to make known the results of a training proposal that has contemplated the creation of a virtual learning space through the use of new teaching methodologies and instruments that allow the teaching currently provided in architecture schools to be adapted to the professional situation that future architects will have to face in order to respond as a group to what society demands regarding contemporary living for this century.

Learnings from Black Liberation System Entanglements Part II: Our experience of system traps
Authors: Udoewa Victor
Published: November 2024

Much of the systems community’s explicit justice work has focused on the ecological crisis of climate, but not as much has been shared about the learnings from other intersectional social justice movements such as racial, gender, disability, LGBTQIA+, indigenous, and economic justice. This is partly because this systems practice work is being done outside of the “expert” systemic design communities. In this paper, I explore an updated understanding of adverse system entanglements, or traps, contextualized to the lived experience and global struggle for Black liberation in conversation with other inextricably entangled struggles (feminist, queer, womanist, mujerista, queer womanist, Latin American liberation, disability, and more). Classical system traps still apply, but they are insufficient to capture our full, lived experience of entanglements. In other words, you can avoid the traditional system traps and still become ensnared in other traps. For there are further, deeper, more insidious traps that work against our justice movements and flows. These shapeshifting traps require that we also are shapeshifting. I highlight learnings we already have, embody, carry, and through which we tell stories to the systemic design community to facilitate inter-ontological and inter-epistemic conversation. This is the second in a short series of papers to explore updated Black Liberation adverse system entanglements (or traps), movements (or interventions), and praxeology (instead of methodology).
Acting on Emotions: Designing with the relational dramas in welfare systems

Published: November 2024

As welfare systems worldwide face increasing pressures, there is a growing need for actionable approaches to transform them into more adaptable and sustainable forms. Service design is suggested to support such transformations. While early service design focussed on experiences, it has recently adopted systemic perspectives to address the complex interrelations among actors in service systems. However, this shift has neglected how these relations are experienced emotionally by the actors involved. Since emotions are integral to how actors understand, navigate and form agency, overlooking them can hinder service design’s ability to support welfare systems transform into more adaptable forms. This research aimed to integrate experiential and systemic perspectives in service design to support actors in transforming complex welfare systems. To explore this, a transdisciplinary research-by-design study was conducted. Drawing on recent service design research and relational sociology, the study was informed by the concept of emotional reflexivity and a service ecosystem design framework. Situated within the Norwegian child welfare system, this research involved over 100 system actors. Systems oriented design and theatre practices were used to facilitate emotional reflexivity among system actors about the complex, and sometimes difficult, relational dynamics they were embedded within. The four-month collaboration culminated in an interactive theatre event involving 800 participants, followed by facilitated conversations among system actors. By focussing on diverse emotional experiences within the child welfare system, three pairs of propositions for incorporating emotions into systemic approaches to service design were developed: 1) adopting a systemic view of emotions, 2) mirroring emotions to support reflexivity, and 3) facilitating conversations about emotional tensions. We discuss the implications of these propositions for practice and theory and how they can advance systemic approaches to service design within complex welfare systems.
The Metaphysics of Evagrius Ponticus
Authors: Muller Fabien ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

Scholars in recent decades have downplayed or completely denied that Evagrius Ponticus has a metaphysical system, instead suggesting that he merely borrows from various philosophies, particularly Stoicism, without a coherent system. In this paper, I propose a different perspective, arguing for a metaphysical and Platonic interpretation. I reconstruct Evagrius’s metaphysics systematically, relate its fundamentals to the environment of the late antique Medio- and Neoplatonic tradition, and show that by establishing the principles and structures of being, Evagrius indeed reveals himself to be a metaphysician.
Being, Meaning, and the Divine Ideas
Authors: Pritschet Miriam ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

Stein, in an attempt to fortify the realist position she fears is not satisfactorily established by a “moderate” Thomist view, champions the “essential” as a distinct kind of finite being by which units-of-meaning are. This pushes up wrinkles elsewhere in her ontology, however—particularly in difficulties that arise regarding the relationship between such essential being and the eternal being of God. These difficulties are brought to a head in Stein’s puzzling treatment of the divine ideas, which appear to have deep and conflicting affinities with both the essential and the eternal. This article analyzes Stein’s contested consideration of the complex intersection of essential and eternal being in the divine ideas, unpacking her seemingly disparate assertions to bring to light a “dual countenance” according to which the divine ideas can be identified with essential being in one sense and eternal being in another—thereby maintaining intentional tension while resisting outright contradiction.
The Computational Search for Unity
Authors: Fazi M. Beatrice ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2024

The outputs of generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) are often called “synthetic” to imply that they are not natural but artificial. Against that use of the term, this article focuses on a different denotation of synthesis, stressing the unifying and compositional aspects of anything synthetic. The case of large language models (LLMs) is used as an example to address synthesis philosophically alongside notions of representation in contemporary computational systems. It is argued that synthesis in generative AI should be understood as a search for unity that is fundamental to the making of a representational reality. This representational reality, internal to computation, is a stable (if imperfect) whole, a togetherness of distributed representations. The article thus demonstrates that developing the philosophical concept of synthesis to investigate today’s generative AI involves examining how structuring occurs in LLMs and studying the kinds of forms that structuring results in.
Application of ARIMA Methods on Unemployment and Inflation Rates in Nigeria
Authors: Akobi Clement , Ogunmola Adeniyi
Published: November 2024

In Nigeria, Unemployment and inflation rate are some of the problems bedeviling the economy. The inability of Job seekers to secure gainful employment tends to create disaffection among these people and cause some of them especially the youth, to resort to social vices. In the motivation to experience low unemployment rate and inflation rate which are economic indicators in Nigeria, deriving appropriate ARIMA model to give insight into future occurrence of these indicators for intervention calls for the application of ARIMA model. This study seek to fit ARIMA model to unemployment rate and inflation rate and forecast future values for both unemployment rate and inflation rate. Utilizing secondary data sourced from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) from 1991 to 2020. The findings reveal that, for each of the two series, to obtain the appropriate ARIMA model that fits the data, ten closely suitable ARIMA models were identified. Using the least values of AIC, AICc and BIC as selection criteria, ARIMA (0, 1, 1) was found to be the best fitted model for each of the two series. Subsequent diagnostic checks confirm the adequacy of the fitted models, with residual analyses indicating no significant autocorrelation or heteroscedasticity. The forecasted values for the unemployment rate series and inflation rate series maintain a constant point forecast. This implies that unemployment rate and inflation rate in Nigeria does not reveal a noticeable increase nor decrease but will be constant in Nigeria. Due to the unchanging forecasted value which appears not to be decreasing, there is need for interventions that will lead to the visible reduction of present unemployment rate and inflation rate in Nigeria.

A descriptive survey method was employed, targeting, 80 adults ( 50 unmarried and 30 married) selected  through simple  random sampling from Ajibode, Akinyele Local Governmen The study revealed that crisis management radio programs significantly influence listeners' perceptions and attitudes towards crisis, with education being the most impactful aspect. Kokoro Alate has educated a large number of people on how to conduct themselves during crises and resolve disputes. However, despite awareness of the importance of feedback, respondents hesitated to contribute, limiting the programme's effectiveness. The study concludes that crisis resolution programmes like Kokoro Alate are vital tools for combating social crises. To enhance programme effectiveness, awareness campaigns on crisis resolution programmes should be conducted.Further research is recommended to investigate reasons for low feedback and declining radio audiences. Additionally, government and private broadcasts should prioritize crisis-resolution programming. By addressing these areas, Kokoro Alate's influence can expand, enhancing community resilience and crisis management in Akinyele Local Government.

Inflow generation using Thomas- Fiering model for Thaphanseik Reservoir in Myanmar
Authors: Latt Yin Nwe , Zin Win Win , San Zin Mar Lar Tin
Published: November 2024

Thomas-Fiering (T-F) model was applied for generating synthetic streamflow for the Thaphanseik reservoir. The Thomas-Fiering model accommodated the non-stationarity of seasonal data. Time series of streamflow are crucial for the planning, design, and management of various water resource systems. In this study, the model was tested using historical data spanning 39 years (from 1985 to 2023). The model’s performance was evaluated by using statistical measurements such as Coefficient of Determination (R2) and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE). Additionally, this model was utilized to generate synthetic streamflow data for the years 2024 to 2100. The logarithmic transformation method was used in order to avoid the negative flows in the synthetic data.  In this study, synthesis flow data were generated using different random sequences. The mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient of different synthetic series were calculated. The calibration process was performed for the periods 1985 to 2016 and validation process was performed for the years 2017 to 2023. Based on R2 value, most suitable synthetic series were chosen. The generated data showed a high goodness of fit, with R² and NSE values. An analysis of the historical and synthetic discharge statistics revealed that the model successfully captured the features of the historical data and integrated them into the generated sequences.
Beyond the Studio: Tertiary Music Production Graduates in Kenya Pursuing Non-Production Roles
Authors: Nyandieka Brian Bichanga
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the reasons behind music production graduates in Kenya moving away from production roles, with a focus on gaps in education and challenges in cultural competency. Through a qualitative research design employing semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with recent graduates in Nairobi County, the study utilizes Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory to analyse how graduates transform their educational experiences into professional capabilities. The findings reveal a significant theory-practice gap characterized by the dominance of Western musical paradigms in formal education, which creates substantial barriers for graduates engaging with local music production contexts. Additionally, the research identifies critical cultural competency challenges stemming from limited exposure to indigenous musical traditions during formal training. These challenges manifest in graduates' inability to produce commercially viable music that resonates with local audiences, often leading to career transitions into music education roles. The study demonstrates how the current educational framework creates what is termed an "impeded transformative experience," where graduates struggle to convert their academic knowledge into viable industry practice. The research concludes that successful reform of music production education in Kenya requires a holistic approach that addresses both technical competency and cultural literacy, suggesting the need for curriculum reforms that balance Western production techniques with local musical traditions while maintaining global industry standards. This transformation is essential for improving graduate outcomes and ensuring the sustainable development of Kenya's music industry.

In Silico Analysis of Limonoid-Based Antifeedants from Melia volkensii Targeting the Ryanodine Receptor in Spodoptera frugiperda
Authors: Rajab Mohamed
Published: November 2024

Spodoptera frugiperda is an invasive pest causing significant crop losses worldwide. Resistance development and health and environmental concerns associated with synthetic insecticides have prompted a search for eco-friendly biopesticides. Limonoids such as salannin, volkensin, and volkensinone, isolated from the East African plant Melia volkensii, show antifeedant activity against S. frugiperda larvae. Volkensin had an ED50 of 3.5 µg/cm², volkensinone (a lactone of volkensin) an ED50 of 6 µg/cm², and salannin an ED50 of 13 µg/cm². Additional limonoids from M. volkensii, including salanninolide and toosendanin, also displayed strong antifeedant effects. With toosendanin already used commercially, a re-evaluation of M. volkensii antifeedant compounds was conducted using in silico techniques. Docking simulations with 3D models of these limonoids and the S. frugiperda ryanodine receptor protein revealed binding affinities from -6.4 to -7.5 kcal/mol, comparable to those of chlorantraniliprole, a commercial insecticide targeting ryanodine receptors. These binding affinities at two distinct receptor sites align well with in-vitro antifeedant activity, underscoring M. volkensii’s potential for environmentally friendly, receptor-targeted biopesticide development against S. frugiperda.

Resilience is the ability of individuals to be able to adapt and rise from difficult conditions or situations. The Five-by-Five Resilience Scale is a measurement tool developed by DeSimone et al (2016) to measure individual resilience. There are five protective factors of resilience, namely adaptation, emotional regulation, optimism, self-efficacy and social support. This research aims to adapt the Five-by-Five Resilience Scale into Indonesian. This research was conducted because there has been no testing of the Indonesian version of the Five-by-Five Resilience Scale. The subjects involved in the study were 267 subjects with an age range of 18 - 25 years who were domiciled in Indonesia. Based on the results of psychometric testing through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), 4 factors were obtained that build the Five-by-Five Resilience Scale. The results also show that the Five-by-Five Resilience Scale has a correlation with other measuring tools in convergence validity testing. The reliability test results show that the dimensions on the Five-by-Five Resilience Scale as a whole have a reliability > 0.7.

The results revealed that key factors driving this improvement included increased student motivation and active participation in the learning process. Students reported feeling more confident in their speaking abilities, and the authentic language input provided by YouTube videos helped them improve their pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency. The novelty of this study lay in applying YouTube as a pedagogical tool within an Indonesian junior high school context, specifically focusing on its impact on speaking skills. Furthermore, the study highlighted the importance of combining digital media with interactive classroom activities to create a more engaging and effective learning environment. This research contributed to the growing body of literature on digital media in education by offering practical insights into how YouTube videos could be successfully integrated into language teaching to foster speaking skill development among younger learners. The findings suggested that YouTube digital videos served as an effective medium for improving language proficiency, particularly in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts, where authentic language exposure was often limited. Moreover, the study emphasized the crucial role of motivation and student engagement, offering valuable strategies for educators to implement in their classrooms to enhance student learning outcomes.
