Negotiating spaces of exception
Authors: Karaan Anna Katrina
Published: August 2021

Urban enclaves have come to define the growth of many contemporary cities, subdividing society spatially into homogenous groupings. In the global south, this has been translated even more distinctly due to the excessive disparity among social classes. With their predisposition towards exclusion, urban enclaves are often portrayed as particular sites of unsustainability. However, a specific version of these enclaves, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and its current manifestation of high-density mixed-use townships, has been championed as a concept that inculcates more sustainable practices due to its innate flexibility. Utilizing a localized actor-centric approach, this study uncovers how PUDs in Metro Manila are negotiated as spaces of exception. The study uses a representative case study of one of the pioneering PUDs in Metro Manila, Eastwood City, and applies a qualitative methodology to explore how relations of state-space-society creates and continuously shapes these spaces. Eastwood City is uncovered to be a legitimized space of exception, where dominant narratives have prioritized private over public interests, but crossed into the realm of acceptability due to its claims of sustainability, particularly of the "live-work-play" lifestyle. However, this study also reveals how the narratives of the dispossessed are exhibited in the margins and how this is continuously (re)shaping the development. These point towards the possibility of alternative futures for PUDs by shifting the power to negotiate to all stakeholders, not only in the creation but also throughout the lifespan of the project, which can then lead to more inclusiveness and equality in the process. By operationalizing the PUD concept, urban enclaves can cease to be purveyors of singular interests but become dynamic spaces of exception that are constantly negotiated by their actors.

Humanity is now believed to live in a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, as changes have been reported on the atmosphere, air, water, and soil, but also on societal perceptions of these issues. This presentation departs from the theoretical assumption that the impact of the abovementioned changes on culture and the environment have not yet found a stable influence on urban planning. This presentation overviews the implications of the food system within urban planning while considering it as a socio-technical system which integrates production, distribution, transformation, consumption and disposal patterns. The production phase of the food system in particular, emerges as a fundamental planning challenge, extending to urban form solutions, individual behaviours, dietary regimes, inequalities in foodsheds planning, and the cultural capital of food. Accordingly, the food system emerges here as an opportunity to identify how current urban fabrics of cities and their rural and regional hinterlands can be transformed in terms of their metabolic function and respond to the needs of people and the environment. To do so, this presentation introduces the preliminary results of an analysis conducted by an ongoing research project SPLACH – Spatial Planning for Change, at two particular scales: the region and the neighbourhood. Thus, while focusing in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA), in Portugal, we provide an analysis of the Regional Plan as well as of specific residential neighbourhoods located in LMA, regarding the relationship between the food system functioning and urban planning approaches. The analysis includes a comparative number of case studies which differ in urban form solutions, socio-economic conditions, but also geographical location. The results support the request for a stronger integration of the above-identified underexplored topics of the food system within urban planning, which will be fundamental to inform a new theory of the city that makes any serious contribution towards a sustainability transition.

This paper outlines the implementation of a National Ordinance across the country of Kuwait. The ordinance is a platform that is based on a seximal system of measurement for spatial and data driven planning. This system simultaneously provides a spatial framework for optimized connectivity as well as an analytical platform for projecting and tracking development across an entire nation. The national master plan for the country of Kuwait, the Fourth Kuwait Master Plan 2040, utilizes a National Ordinance that serves as the planning and development platform for the country. The ordinance is based on the Land Ordinance of 1785, Jefferson’s plan for most of the United States, however, it is restructured to address changes in context, technology and operation. In this case the Ordinance provides parallel Geographic Information Systems for both spatial implementation and data analytics. The intention is to use the Ordinance to address the difficulty in planning for the future of a complex system such as an entire country. This paper provides 1) a brief introduction to the idea of an Ordinance, 2) the historical context for the idea of a national planning platform, or ordinance, 3) historic examples and analyses, 4) the underlying concepts and methodology for the proposed ordinance, and 5) a detailed analysis of the proposed Kuwait National Ordinance.

In a polycentric urban structure, the commuting pattern which was traditionally directed from the suburban to CBD, is becoming more complex with increasing reverse- and cross-commuting activities. This paper is aimed to provide empirical evidence which validating the importance of utility-maximizing parameters, derived from the monocentric model, in the context of post-suburbanized polycentric urban region. It questioning to which extent of different residential mobility between municipalities could be linked to the variation of such parameters. Focusing on the frontier areas of Jakarta Metropolitan Area (JMA), Indonesia, each municipality within the region is treated as a Decision-Making Unit which intend to maximizing co-location between residential and employment uses. Using the data from the 2017 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS), the analysis was simply taken by comparing the aggregative-mean of income, housing-cost and transportation cost data from each municipal in JMAs periphery. The Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) was used for measure how these utility-maximizing parameters related with inter-suburban migration flows. The results show that housing cost is the only utility which still has significant impact in polycentric setting. Moreover, the area with lowest utility value tends to be the most efficient in attracting in-migrant. It implies that residential mobility within suburban areas does not motivated by lower housing or transportation cost, nor to get near to major employment location. Thus, workers heterogeneity and behavioral aspect may have played bigger role in residential mobility of polycentric urban setting.
Building moratorium as a future instrument for tackling unsustainable urban growth
Authors:   Meiji University, Angelova Ivana ,   Japan
Published: August 2021

We live in times when our planet is overloaded with issues coming from human activities where additional mechanisms to preserve the quality of life are essential. Modern societies experience constant internal dynamics. The uncontrolled urban growth leading to dense and unmanageable environment is a main urban issue cities face today. This is a prevailing problem in the developing countries where the construction industry is booming. Overall, while there is a rush to development there are also some conflicting interests and policies that are leading to unsustainable urban growth. To regulate a property development a local government can try to impose a moratorium on the issuance of building permits and this can be agreed upon all the interest parties or it may be imposed by operation of law (Lehman and Phelps, 2005). Oftentimes local authorities will impose a building moratorium to tackle development in order to have time to make a satisfactory urban plan or to make some changes and update the regulations. The land use control objective is to promote good planning values supported by the whole community. This is done by regulating the urban growth and it is best implemented on a carefully contemplated comprehensive plan. During a time a new plan is being drafted and growth balance is achieved some construction demand may arise based on an existing outdated, inadequate urban plan. If this demands are met “the ultimate worth of the eventual plan could be undermined” and this where the moratorium comes in place (Coon, 2010). The resources of academic literature on the case are somewhat in short supply and mainly based on describing specific case scenarios without a critical thought on the tool itself. Based on the resources the paper will look at a few different cases in developed countries using the growth management systems and one southeast european case - the city of Skopje, Macedonia that adopted the building moratorium system in January 2018. The author of this paper was personally involved in the decision making process in that time and will try to elaborate on how the tool was being used. The validity should be determined by weighing its impact on the affected parties and more comprehensive research in the economic repercussions of the mechanism is needed. A building moratorium is oftentimes a political decision and it's downside is that political parties would use it merely for their own purposes.
Analysis on Integration Path of Urban and Rural Industries Based on Economic Data Model. A Case Study of Strategy Planning of Taiyuan Rural Revitalization
Authors:   Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning & Design Institute Co., LTD., Qi Huimin ,   China
Published: August 2021

In the background of ongoing urbanization in China and prominent “dualistic” contradiction between urban and rural areas, rural revitalization is extremely urgent. Currently, common problems concerning industry, ecology and humanities exist in rural areas. This paper attempts to figure out the causes for differences in industrial development in rural areas on the basis of macro data analysis and industrial spatial distribution. Given the lack of quantitative analysis of the relationship between urban and rural development and industrial structure, this paper adopts SPSS statistical software to conduct regression analysis on the statistical data of Taiyuan City in the past ten years. Based on the relationship between industrial proportion and urban-rural income ratio, this paper proposes how the adjustment of urban industrial structure promotes the industrial development in surrounding rural areas and the narrowing of urban-rural income gap. From the perspective of rural industry undertaking or complementation with urban industry, this paper then puts forward the idea of undertaking the transfer industry within the scope of ensuring the aggregation effect of the city center and the carrying capacity of the ecological environment, proposing an industrial development path from agriculture to processing industry and then to culture, tourism and recreation industry for the villages in Taiyuan.
The informal syndicate Raj: Emerging urban governance challenges in newly incorporated
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Centre for Urban Policy and Governance, TISS Mumbai, India, Kundu Ratoola
Published: August 2021

Peri-urban spaces in the Global South are regarded as sites of radical and often violent of transformation of social and spatial structures, of brutal dispossessions of lives and livelihoods to make way for speculative real estate development and the accumulation of capital through the expropriation and commodification of land. What kinds of politics and governance configurations emerge in the peri-urban areas of mega-cities? A host of state and non-state actors such as developers, aspiring middle-class urban dwellers are reimagining these sites. This paper investigates the complex governance and livelihood transformations following the upgradation of Bidhan Municipality to a Corporation in 2015 through the state driven merger of the existing planned satellite township of Salt Lake with the surrounding unplanned rural and urban areas. The paper argues that a new politics of unsteady alliances characterises the messy, unsettled and restless territories of the newly formed Municipal Corporation. A highly contingent, informalised and powerful configuration of non-state actors – locally known as Syndicates control the development dynamics and political fortunes of the periphery
How to grasp the power of the place: the TELLme project and Metro-dology

Published: August 2021

Metropolitanisation processes caused by unplanned urban growth have generated an enormous demand for infrastructure and services, as well as impacts on the environment that can lead to imbalances in social development. In order to promote sustainable growth, it is necessary to plan a fair distribution of services throughout the development of the city with efficient infrastructure system. Our answer is a proactive project, which holds the social and ecological function of the city that restores safe environmental conditions. In the ongoing TELLme Erasmus+ project, we attempt to define a holistic methodology, the Metro-dology; structure a training lab where academia and practitioners can discuss the issues, principles, and gaps of the metropolitan area; and develop mapping tools to comprehend the metropolitan complexity and support the training. We are looking for new relations among the parts of the city through first, mobility project to transform the times of the city; second, identification of suitable places for the production of a modern and clean circular economy; and finally selection of areas for urban regeneration to rediscover and renew the identity of the metropolitan city.
Integrating vertical farming at scale in urban food planning
Authors:   MSc, Petrovics Daniel ,   Hungary/Netherlands
Published: August 2021

At all stages of food production and consumption, resources are utilized in an inefficient manner and at an unprecedented rate, clearly affecting urban food systems. This raises future concerns in terms of climate change, and in terms of long-term food security and availability for growing urban populations. A supply-side solution to these issues - with particular potential in megacities - is Vertical Farming (VF), a high-yield form of controlled environment agriculture with promised potential to produce fruits and vegetables within cities, ultimately reducing their resource intensity. This research builds on an Urban & Regional Planning MSc thesis conducted at the University of Amsterdam. The research aims to provide a practical guide for planners, who aim to integrate Vertical Farming into urban food planning. Through this, an indication of whether and how VF can contribute to reducing the impact of food systems in terms of anthropogenic climate change is provided, and ultimately, it helps to understand if and how VF can be up-scaled for further impact. The research utilized an abductive approach with a qualitative design, where 17 experts working in the field were interviewed. These experts represent academia, consultancy, municipal officers, entrepreneurs, and investors. The findings are particularly applicable to planning with VF in cities in and integrative manner. The findings relate to 26 separate factors, along the lines of categories developed by van Doren et al. (2018). These categories include: Measures for Low-Carbon Urban Development, Operational Arrangements, Policy Context, Market Context, Social-Cultural Context, and Natural and Built Context.

Published: August 2021

Our study highlights a literature map on Fintech and the risks associated with this technological innovation in the financial sector. Considering all the studies published from 2014 to 2021 in "Scopus", we resort to econometric techniques to create our map. Our results show the recent attention of academics and researchers, mainly belonging to the technological and IT areas, towards Fintech. In particular, the studies focus on the issue of emerging technologies applied to investment and credit processes linked to the assessment of customer insolvency risk. For this reason, the existing analyzes adopt a mainly technical approach with very limited attention to strategic, organizational and managerial aspects typical of financial intermediation. Future studies could investigate the issue of Fintech behavior and relations with incumbent banks, as well as the risks that the applications of emerging digital technologies have on the sound and prudent management of these operators. In addition, further analysis can capture the risks of Fintech for clients, taking into account financial education. These are important aspects for the growth of Fintechs themselves, for the sustainability of the incumbent banks, with which they increasingly collaborate, and obviously for the banking supervisory authorities, attentive to the stability, efficiency and competitiveness of the financial sector as a whole.

Introduction: Attempted suicide is a major public health problem with a prevalence rate of approximately 2.7% worldwide. There is an increasing trend of attempted suicide in Bhutan. It is a strong clinical predictor of eventual suicide deaths and results in significant use of health care resources. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of attempted suicide patients admitted in Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital from January 2014 to September 2018.
Methods: This descriptive record review analyzed 72 clinical records of attempted suicide patients. The characteristics of attempted suicides are described using detailed illness history of patients who were admitted in the psychiatric and medical wards.
Results: The result showed a higher rate of attempted suicide in females (56.9 %) and highest in the age range between 21 and 30 years. The percentage of patients from the western region of the country was higher (48.6%). The median duration of hospital stay was 5 days (range 1-74). There was a slightly higher number of attempted suicide admissions in the cold season. Pre-existing mental health disorders, mostly depressive disorder, was the major underlying cause of attempted suicide (55.5%). The predominant method used for attempted suicide was self-poisoning on medication (76.3%) with the common medicine being Paracetamol.
Conclusions: To prevent attempted suicide and eventual suicide, there is a need to strengthen early detection of depressive illnesses and regulate the accessibility of over-the-counter drugs like Paracetamol.

Ameliorative effects of aqueous seed extract of D acryodes edulis on doxorubicininduced cardiac tissue damage in albino rats were investigated. The animals were divided into groups and fed for 14 days to acclimatize. A single dose of 15 mg/kg body weight doxorubicin was given intraperitoneally to each group except the control group. After 48 hours, two animals were randomly selected from each group and sacrificed under ethylether anesthesia, to harvest their hearts for histological studies. Subsequently, groups 1 and 2 were given normal saline, while groups 3 and 4 were treated with 25 and 100 mg/kg body weight of aspirin and vitamin C respectively. Groups 5-8 received different doses of aqueous seed extract (200, 400, 600, and 800 mg/kg body weight). Treatments lasted for 21 days and the rats were sacrificed under anesthesia, and their hearts harvested and fixed in 10% formol saline for examination. The photomicrograph revealed severe and focal loss of cardiac fiber, intra-myocardial hemorrhages, fragmentation of cardiac muscle, and disorganization of histoarchitecture in the induced but untreated animal groups. Micrographs showed significant ameliorative effects of the extract in a dose-dependent way and healing effects of the standard drugs. These results showed that aqueous seed extract of Dacryodes edulis exhibits therapeutic potentials for cardiac disorders.

Este narrador homodiegético, inestable y borracho, permite develar las contradicciones del pensamiento heteropatriarcal, lo que se demuestra al criticar la violencia de género, pero, al mismo tiempo, ser él un hombre que la ejerce de manera simbólica. Asimismo, estas contradicciones se revelan en su oscilar entre la culpa por haberse mantenido al margen de las agresiones que sufría su hermana y la justificación por considerarse una masculinidad subordinada en relación con su cuñado. A pesar de que prima la autojustificación, el mismo narrador termina por reconocer que el crimen contra Teresa es responsabilidad de todos. La violencia de género y el resultado en un suicidio feminicida no es un problema doméstico e individual, sino social.

Juicio profesional docente ante dilemas éticos escolares
Authors: Barudi Ana Laura
Published: August 2021

La relación entre ética y docencia ha sido ampliamente explorada desde mediados del siglo XX, en diversos países, a través del desarrollo de estudios teóricos y empíricos. Estas investigaciones suelen remitirse a cuestiones inherentes a la conversación entre los campos de la filosofía y de la educación y también a la ética de profesiones arquetípicas como la abogacía o la medicina. En particular, muchos de esos trabajos han brindado extensa atención a los fundamentos e implicancias éticos de la acción docente en las escuelas, en especial al desarrollo del juicio profesional docente como recurso valioso para decidir ante situaciones escolares controvertidas. En este artículo retomo esos antecedentes y propongo un enfoque teórico-conceptual para estudiar la manera en que los docentes de nivel primario perciben y abordan dilemas éticos escolares. Construyo una perspectiva ecléctica que combina aportes de la filosofía (ética y pragmática) y de los campos sociológico, antropológico y educativo y que permite estudiar los procesos de percepción ética, deliberación moral y juicio profesional de esos docentes en el abordaje de sus dilemas éticos como indicios de las soslayadas dimensiones éticas de sus acciones.
Utilización del simulador EPANET en el análisis de redes de agua potable en edificaciones

EPANET es un modelo de simulación por computador muy conocido para el estudio de redes de distribución de agua potable en sistemas públicos. No existe suficiente información de su utilización en redes de distribución de agua en edificaciones, por lo que resulta interesante simular el comportamiento hidráulico de este tipo de redes de suministro a presión.

El programa original no está concebido para analizar redes de distribución en edificios, porque los caudales demandados por los aparatos sanitarios se basan en la probabilidad de su uso simultaneo, es decir es poco probable que todos funcionen al mismo tiempo. En edificaciones no se cumple la ecuación de continuidad en cada nudo como en las redes de distribución públicas.

El presente artículo presenta una metodología subsanando el desbalance de caudales en los nudos de la red, dotando al proyectista de una herramienta con un software libre que permite de forma rápida calcular la red, realizando simulaciones en múltiples escenarios en busca de una optimización hidráulica hasta cumplir con lo establecido en la Norma Hidrosanitaria del Ecuador.

Esta metodología fue utilizada en el estudio de una red de distribución de agua potable en un edificio de 3 pisos abastecida desde un tanque elevado, con 15 aparatos sanitarios, se consideraron las pérdidas de energía por fricción y locales, para analizar las velocidades del agua en las tuberías, las presiones de servicio en cada aparato sanitario y simular su comportamiento hidráulico.

En base a los resultados obtenidos se observa que se cumplen con los requerimientos establecidos en la normativa que establecen velocidades mínimas de 0.60 m/s y que las presiones sean mayores a 3 m. en todos los aparatos sanitarios.
Evidências do conhecimento metacognitivo na tomada de decisão por ser professor de física
Authors: Pimentel Emanuel Cesar , Rosa Cleci Teresinha Werner da
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo investiga sujeitos que escolheram realizar um curso de licenciatura em Física a partir de experiências positivas em relação à disciplina durante o processo de formação na educação básica, especificamente, no ensino médio. O estudo foi guiado pelos seguintes questionamentos: em que contexto as experiências vivenciadas positivamente por estudantes da educação básica repercutem em escolhas conscientes por ser professor de Física? Em que grau aparecem (ou não) evidências do conhecimento metacognitivo na tomada de decisão de atuar como professor? Por escolhas conscientes, entendemos aquelas que são acompanhadas da avaliação dos próprios conhecimentos (conhecimentos metacognitivos); por experiências vivenciadas, entendemos as decorrentes de algo que impacte e influencie o sujeito. O objetivo do estudo é analisar a relação entre as experiências vivenciadas positivamente na educação básica e a ativação do conhecimento metacognitivo em estudantes que optam por realizar um curso de licenciatura em Física. O percurso metodológico envolveu duas etapas – sendo a primeira associada a um questionário aplicado a ingressantes do curso – e permitiu mapear aqueles que haviam optado por ele a partir de vivenciarem experiências positivas em relação à Física durante o ensino médio. Na segunda etapa, realizamos entrevistas com oito sujeitos com o objetivo de verificar se a opção pelo curso estava associada à evocação do pensamento metacognitivo e em que circuitarias isso ocorria. Os resultados permitiram identificar que as escolhas estão associadas aos conhecimentos metacognitivos ainda que em graus distintos dependendo do contexto em que a experiência positiva ocorreu.

Introdução: O sarampo é uma doença viral, grave e altamente transmissível, capaz de afetar indivíduos em quaisquer faixas etárias e acarretar em diversas consequências, podendo levar o indivíduo a óbito. O Brasil recebeu um certificado de eliminação da transmissão do vírus pela organização Pan-Americana, resultante de uma série de ações de vigilância laboratoriais e de imunização, no entanto, um surto ocorrido no ano de 2018 na região norte do país demonstrou a necessidade de uma vigilância contínua para a contenção dessa patologia. Objetivo: Deste modo, objetivou-se apresentar as principais particularidades do sarampo e a situação atual dessa doença no território brasileiro. Materiais e Métodos: por meio de uma pesquisa e análise bibliográfica de teses, dissertações e artigos publicados entre os anos de 2010 e 2020 e uma análise de informações obtidas através de uma pesquisa nos bancos de dados disponíveis, sobre os casos de sarampo ocorridos no Brasil no período atual. Resultados: Desde 2017 o Brasil vem sofrendo uma ressurgência do vírus do sarampo, devido principalmente ao fato de as coberturas vacinais terem sofrido uma queda. O programa de imunização possui grande crédito e respeito pela comunidade científica e por grande parte da população, porém vem crescendo no país uma cultura antivacinal que está interferindo negativamente no combate a essas doenças. Nas vinte primeiras semanas epidemiológicas do ano de 2020 o Brasil vem enfrentando um surto de sarampo nas cinco regiões, sendo Pará, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina e Paraná os estados com maiores números de caso registrados. Mediante ao atual cenário epidemiológico do sarampo no Brasil a vacinação de rotina é de extrema importância para a saúde pública, além de mostra-se ainda como a forma mais eficaz de prevenção contra o vírus causador desta patologia, sendo fundamental para a prevenção de surtos e erradicação do sarampo, estando disponíveis de forma gratuita na rede pública de saúde do Brasil. Conclusão: Portanto as campanhas de vacinação são essenciais para que a maior parte da população seja imunizada, de modo a evitar possíveis surtos desta patologia.

Introdução: Palinologia é a ciência que estuda grãos de pólen e esporos de plantas atuais e fósseis preservadas em rochas e sedimentos. A partir da necessidade de estudos que fornecessem conhecimento da flora polínica da região, iniciou-se o estudo palinológico de plantas do campus Seropédica da UFRRJ e a construção de uma Palinoteca no Departamento de Solos da UFRRJ. Materiais e Métodos: Coletou-se no campus Seropédica da UFRRJ, materiais de Angiospermas e Monilófitas, sendo confeccionadas 38 exsicatas para depósito no Herbário RBR. Em laboratório, foram coletadas, com auxílio de uma lupa, esporângios e anteras para realização da acetólise padrão, sendo produzidas 81 lâminas para observação em microscopia óptica, descrição da morfologia polínica e análise morfométrica dos grãos e esporos, sendo o material utilizado para a confecção da primeira Palinoteca da UFRRJ. Resultados: Quanto à descrição polínica morfológica e morfométrica das Angiospermas observou-se que Mimosa caesalpiniifolia possui tamanho pequeno. Os Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, tanto var. rosa, vermelha e branca e Talipariti tiliaceum possuem tamanho muito grande e são apolares, Antigonon leptopus, Delonix regia, Ipomoea sp., Pachira aquatica, Stifftia chrysantha, Thevetia peruviana e a Thunbergia grandiflora, Thunbergia alata são grandes. As espécies de Thunbergia são heteropolares e as demais espécies isopolares. Para a espécie Yucca sp., foi observado padrão monocolpado, e as espécies de Thunbergia possuem colpo espiroaperturado. H. rosa-sinensis, Ipomoea e T. tiliaceum apresentam poros e superfícies equinadas, Bougainvillea spectabilis, C. fistula, Clerodendrum splendens, C. thomsoniae e Tecoma stans possui grãos tricolpados. A. leptopus, B. spectabilis, D. regia e P. aquatica possuem ornamentação reticulada, os Clerodendrum são microequinados; M. caesalpiniifolia e Yucca sp. são psilados; Murraya paniculata e S. chrysantha são estriados e T. alata é escabrada. Todos apresentam simetria radial e são mônades com exceção de M. caesalpiniifolia que é uma políade. Quanto as samambaias, observou-se perispório em Nephrolepis biserrata diferindo de Microgramma vacciniifolia, ambas são de tamanho médio, heteropolares, de lesão monolete, superfície verrucada e mônade. Conclusão: Através do estudo foi possível verificar a grande variação de características das espécies analisadas, bem como deu início a construção da primeira Palinoteca da UFRRJ.
