A Parametric Analysis of Interior Space Organization for Improving Thermal Comfort Conditions in Office Buildings
Authors: Atsız Tuğba , Zorer Gedik Gülay
Published: June 2022

The interior planning organization in office buildings varies depending on the depth of the space and the plan layout. The thermal comfort of the space and the comfort conditions of the individuals are affected by different depth of the space. The aims of this parametric study are to examine the effects of the interior organization, window sizes, and the selection of building envelope elements on the design efficiency and the percentage of comfortable space in the buildings designed climate-conscious. In this study, the analysis is carried out for the offices located on the 3rd floor of the five-storey reference virtual building sensitive to climate. Calculations are made for a reference province in a hot-mild climate using Rhinoceros/Grasshopper simulation. Thermal comfort results in medium-depth office spaces and open-plan work areas will be given and evaluated comparatively for December 21 and June 21. Handling the interior planning organization and analysis process together at the design stage of the building will contribute to the development of thermally comfortable spaces.

Published: June 2022

Mimarlığa sanatsal boyut kazandıran, mimari ürünün estetik özelliğidir. Simetri kavramı ise belirsiz bir mükemmelliği yansıtarak güzellik ve estetik unsurlarının önemli bir parçası olarak ifade edilmektedir. Ayrıca oran ve denge duygusunun karşılığı olarak da tanımlanmaktadır. Antik Çağ’da yapı ile tüm yapı öğeleri arasındaki uyum ve ölçü ilişkisi olarak tanımlanabilen simetri, günümüzde, ortadan bir eksenle ikiye bölünmüş bir bütünün, eksenin iki yanında yer alan iki eş parçasıdır. Bu bildiri ile mimarlık alanının yapı ve şehir ölçeğinde tasarımın en önemli kriterleri arasında yer alıp, estetiğin sağlanmasında önemli ölçütlerden olan simetrinin tarihi yapılar üzerinden analiz edilerek geleceğe yönelik çıkarımlar sağlanması amaçlanmıştır. Diyarbakır’daki Osmanlı Dönemi eserleri arasında yer alan, ayrıca Tuhfet-ül Mimari’nde Mimar Sinan eseri olarak geçen Behram Paşa Camii’nin estetik özellikleri, yapının mevcut rölöve çizimlerindeki simetri uygulamaları üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler sonucunda simetri ve estetik arasındaki ilişkinin plan, cephe ve kalemişlerinde öne çıktığı, örnekler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda yapıda estetik ile ilişikilendirilen simetri uygulama teknikleri, geleceğe yönelik estetik değer taşıyan yapılar için de bir öneri niteliği taşımaktadır.
The Importance of Environmental Characteristics in Choosing a Walking Route in Cities
Authors: Akbarishahabi Leila
Published: June 2022

The characteristics of the streets, which are defined as open urban public spaces, affect the desire and preferences of individuals to walk on the street. In this study, it was aimed to determine the characteristics of the routes preferred by individuals for walking. In the study, sample studies evaluating the importance of environmental characteristics in choosing a walking route were examined, and a survey was designed in line with the results obtained. The survey was conducted with a total of 400 adult participants residing in the Gölbaşı district of Ankara. Environmental characteristics were defined as the independent variable and the tendency to walk as the dependent variable. As a result of the cause-effect analysis, it has been determined that variables such as safety (human, animal, and vehicle), landscape density, pavements, cleanliness and care, calmness and silence, flat terrain and comfort, visual diversity, and lighting have positive and significant relationships with individuals' willingness to walk, respectively. As a result, the environmental characteristics of the routes, especially the perceived safety, the aesthetic pleasure such as landscape density, cleanliness and visual diversity, as well as the qualities such as flat terrain and pedestrian pavements that provide walking comfort, encourage individuals to walk.
Traditional Room-Space Setup in “Mansions” of Alanya
Authors: Yilmaz Erkovan Nisa
Published: June 2022

While the plan scheme and structure are important in the traditional building, it is essential to consider the concept of 'room' at a lower scale to understand these structures. The concept of 'tent', which is the accommodation element of the nomadic life culture, and the entire life cycle that takes place within this concept, being taken into a 'room' over time, creates the basis of the concept of housing. This study is based on the fact that a single nomad tent corresponds to a "room" in traditional buildings. The place of the rooms in the houses, described as mansions, which have been built in a more planned way outside the castle walls of Alanya, in the concept of traditional building and the definition of the ideal room has been examined. For this determination, 11 mansions, which were previously restored, were selected and examined in situ and the spatial components of the rooms were determined. Then, the influence of the combination of these components in space on the space setup was examined. As a result, it was determined that the ideal room type defined for traditional houses was reached in 34 rooms studied in 11 mansions, which was largely achieved.
The Impact of Insulin Resistance on Hepatic Fibrosis among United States Adults with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: NHANES 2017 to 2018
Authors: Bae Ji Cheol , Beste Lauren A. , Utzschneider Kristina M.
Published: June 2022

Background: We aimed to investigate the association of hepatic steatosis with liver fibrosis and to assess the interactive effects of hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance on liver fibrosis in a nationally representative sample of United States adults.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017 to 2018, which for the first time included transient elastography to assess liver stiffness and hepatic steatosis. We evaluated the association between hepatic steatosis (using controlled attenuation parameter [CAP]) and clinically significant liver fibrosis (defined as liver stiffness ≥7.5 kPa) using logistic regression with an interaction term for hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance (defined as homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance ≥3.0).Results: Among adults undergoing transient elastography (n=2,023), 45.9% had moderate or greater hepatic steatosis and 11.3% had clinically significant liver fibrosis. After adjustment for demographic and metabolic factors, the odds of significant liver fibrosis increased as CAP score rose (odds ratio, 1.35 per standard deviation increment; 95% confidence interval, 1.11 to 1.64). We detected a significant interaction effect between CAP score and insulin resistance on the probability of significant liver fibrosis (P=0.016 for interaction). The probability of significant liver fibrosis increased in the presence of insulin resistance with increasing CAP score, while those without insulin resistance had low probability of significant liver fibrosis, even with high CAP scores.Conclusion: Individuals with hepatic steatosis had higher odds of fibrosis when insulin resistance was present. Our findings emphasize the importance of the metabolic aspects of the disease on fibrosis risk and suggest a need to better identify patients with metabolic associated fatty liver disease.

Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of individuals’ competencies in business intelligence (BI) and analytics (BA) on process effectiveness (PE). Moreover, to investigate the mediating role of user participation (UP) and the moderating role of gender in this relationship. An empirical analysis based on survey data was conducted. A sample of 215 middle and upper management levels from SMEs located in Jordan was surveyed to collect the data. Structural equation modelling through partial least squares-multi group analysis (PLS-MGA) is used to analyze the data. The results support the direct positive impact of individuals’ competencies in business intelligence (BA) and business analytics (BA). Moreover, user participation has been found to mediate this relationship. Additionally, the results showed that gender moderates the relationship between individuals’ competencies in business intelligence (BI) and analytics (BA) on process effectiveness (PE). The findings improve the understanding of the needed individuals’ competencies in business intelligence (BI) and analytics (BA) that affect process effectiveness (PE). This will help develop and arrange strategies that increase individuals’ competencies in business intelligence (BI) and analytics (BA) among employees. Furthermore, managers and owners should put plans for strategies to augment confidence amongst female employees.
Tackling the Unique Challenges of Low-frequency Solar Polarimetry with the Square Kilometre Array Low Precursor: The Algorithm
Authors: Kansabanik Devojyoti , Oberoi Divya , Mondal Surajit
Published: June 2022

Coronal magnetic fields are well known to be one of the crucial parameters defining coronal physics and space weather. However, measuring the global coronal magnetic fields remains challenging. The polarization properties of coronal radio emissions are sensitive to coronal magnetic fields. While they can prove to be useful probes of coronal and heliospheric magnetic fields, their usage has been limited by technical and algorithmic challenges. We present a robust algorithm for precise polarization calibration and imaging of low-radio frequency solar observations and demonstrate it on data from the Murchison Widefield Array, a Square Kilometre Array (SKA) precursor. This algorithm is based on the Measurement Equation framework, which forms the basis of all modern radio interferometric calibration and imaging. It delivers high-dynamic-range and high-fidelity full-Stokes solar radio images with instrumental polarization leakages <1%, on par with general astronomical radio imaging, and represents the state of the art. Opening up this rewarding, yet unexplored, phase space will enable multiple novel science investigations and offer considerable discovery potential. Examples include detection of low-level circular polarization from thermal coronal emission to estimate large-scale quiescent coronal fields; polarization of faint gyrosynchrotron emissions from coronal mass ejections for robust estimation of plasma parameters; and detection of the first-ever linear polarization at these frequencies. This method has been developed with the SKA in mind and will enable a new era of high-fidelity spectropolarimetric snapshot solar imaging at low radio frequencies.
Gravitational-wave Statistics for Pulsar Timing Arrays: Examining Bias from Using a Finite Number of Pulsars
Authors: Johnson Aaron D. , Vigeland Sarah J. , Siemens Xavier , Taylor Stephen R.
Published: June 2022

Recently, many different pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations have reported strong evidence for a common stochastic process in their data sets. The reported amplitudes are in tension with previously computed upper limits. In this paper, we investigate how using a subset of a set of pulsars biases Bayesian upper limit recovery. We generate 500 simulated PTA data sets, based on the NANOGrav 11 yr data set with an injected stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB). We then compute the upper limits by sampling the individual pulsar likelihoods, and combine them through a factorized version of the PTA likelihood to obtain upper limits on the GWB amplitude, using different numbers of pulsars. We find that it is possible to recover an upper limit (95% credible interval) below the injected value, and that it is significantly more likely for this to occur when using a subset of pulsars to compute the upper limit. When picking pulsars to induce the maximum possible bias, we find that the 95% Bayesian upper limit recovered is below the injected value in 10.6% of the realizations (53 of 500). Further, we find that if we choose a subset of pulsars in order to obtain a lower upper limit than when using the full set of pulsars, the distribution of the upper limits obtained from these 500 realizations is shifted to lower-amplitude values.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Anemia is mainly characterized by a lack of red blood cells. Although postpartum anemia is significant, it is rarely detected and studied as anemia among pregnant women. Postpartum mothers physically need to be ready to take care of their newborns, and the normal hemoglobin level needs to be considered to support their activity after delivery. An effort to improve the hemoglobin (Hb) level is by consuming date palm syrup. The study revealed that it could increase hemoglobin levels.

AIM: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of date palm syrup on Hb levels in postpartum mothers.

METHODS: The population of this study was all postpartum mothers who came to midwifery independent practices in Bengkulu City; those who met the inclusion criteria were involved as subjects in this study. This research method was quantitative using a quasi-experimental research design. This study used a two-group pre-test–post-test design to check hemoglobin levels before and after the intervention of date syrup of 10 ml/8 h for 10 days.

RESULTS: The result showed date syrup’s effectiveness in increasing hemoglobin levels in postpartum mothers in Bengkulu City; p-value was 0.000 or p < 0.005.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study are expected to be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapies given by health workers to increase hemoglobin levels in postpartum mothers.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Various attempts have been made to control the population of Aedes aegypti with the help of chemicals or by engineering Wolbachia pipentis, an obligate intracellular bacterium that is passed down through DENV and arbovirus infections to manipulate the monthly average reproductive yield. This study reviews the phenomenon of the river border area which is one of the habitats for the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the Musi River, Palembang City.
AIM: The application of the euclidean distance method in this study was carried out to determine the environmental exposure of settlements along the river basin area.
METHODS: The research methodology was carried out objectively related to data on dengue incidence in 2019. It was carried out by taking location coordinates through the application of geographic information systems and the use of satellite imagery for data acquisition of existing buildings. This stage is followed by bivariate statistical calculations using the application of WoE where the probability value of the measurement is described using the Area Under Curve. Processing and accumulation carried out with existing buildings will result in a calculation of the estimated size of the exposure area.
RESULTS: The results obtained provide information, where the natural breaks jeanks value of 0.007-0.016 range results in 1465ha of heavily exposed building area. The value of the temporary bivariate statistical calculation will produce an AUC probability number of 0.44 which describes the relationship between the Musi river and the findings of dengue symptoms in the sub-districts around the Musi river border area, Palembang City. Swamp soil conditions are vulnerable to being a habitat where Aedes aegypti larvae are found.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the analysis that we obtained from the population of dengue incidence and the condition of the river basin area showed a significant structure with the distribution of dengue incidence, it is known that the presence of buildings on the river Musi banks has a greater risk of infectious diseases transmissions and natural disasters ranging from sanitation, hygiene, flooding to river erosion.
Taxonomic reassessment of chaetognaths (Chaetognatha, Sagittoidea, Aphragmophora) from Korean waters
Authors: Choo Seohwi , Jeong Man-Ki , Soh Ho Young
Published: June 2022

Since the first record of chaetognaths (arrow worms) reported from Korean waters by Molchanov in 1907, three families, 12 genera and 21 species have been additionally described. Eighteen of the 21 recorded species have been reported under scientific names different from the latest taxonomic system. This study aimed to address this issue by conducting a taxonomic re-evaluation of chaetognaths collected from Korean waters. Furthermore, the taxonomic usefulness of morphological differences in corona ciliata and distribution of ciliary sense receptors were re-examined using specimens stained with 1% Chlorazol black E (CBE) solution. This study includes taxonomically-validated voucher specimens of 18 species from Korean waters. Based on the specimens, re-description including image data and CBE staining pattern, distribution, ecological information and improved key were provided for each species. However, Decipisagitta decipiens, Serratosagitta serratodentata and Sagitta pseudoserratodentata from Korean waters is still questioned because of the paucity of the voucher specimen and scientific literature.

De quoi la notion de « terrain » rend-elle compte ?
Authors: Albero Brigitte
Published: June 2022

Utilisé en recherche comme dans les pratiques socioprofessionnelles, le « terrain » désigne bien plus qu’il n’y paraît. L’attention portée aux conceptions les plus communes (lieu de l’enquête ou de l’action, objet de recherche, positionnement pragmatique) conduit à en dégager les risques (naturalisation, réification) et les conséquences (homogénéisation, standardisation) pour mettre en évidence des aspects sous-jacents, le plus souvent non questionnés car non conscients ou implicites. Cette mise en problématique d’un terme à l’apparente évidence alors qu’il relève d’un construit social à décoder (ou à déconstruire), conduit finalement à en étudier des aspects plus complexes et fructueux (expérience, pratique, relation, travail) que seule une réflexivité critique et éthique permet d’ajuster individuellement et collectivement, donnant à ce processus (épistémique, émotionnel, instrumental, social) une fonction fondamentale d’éducation et de formation.

Published: June 2022

Certaines expériences se construisent dans des espaces privés, protégés, qui constituent des terrains privilégiés pour approcher le développement du sujet dans ses aspects les moins visibles et les moins connus. L’entrée en parentalité est l’une de ces étapes emblématiques où le sujet adulte se confronte à des apprentissages fondamentaux dans un tournant de vie transformateur. L’intelligibilité des processus expérientiels, en particulier lorsque surviennent des situations inconfortables où se côtoient les émotions (doute, anxiété, peur…), dépend de la capacité du chercheur à les approcher dans leurs dimensions les plus intimes et de son aptitude à se laisser prendre par la spécificité du terrain qu’il explore.

Le xiii e  siècle fut-il le siècle d’or de l’analogie ? À en juger par les cas de Bonaventure et de Thomas d’Aquin, rien n’est moins certain. Si Étienne Gilson a cru pouvoir reconduire leurs métaphysiques respectives à deux modèles analogiques différents, l’un unifiant, l’autre séparateur, il n’en demeure pas moins que l’analogie n’était pas au centre de leurs préoccupations. Du côté du Docteur angélique, la notion a subi des remaniements et des transformations profonds depuis le Commentaire des Sentences sous l’effet de la poussée de l’ actus essendi , tandis que le Docteur séraphique l’a purement et simplement écartée au profit d’une théorie de la ressemblance et de l’expression en conformité avec sa métaphysique du Verbe.

Published: June 2022

Land degradation due to soil erosion is a major problem in mountainous areas. It is crucially important to understand the law of soil erosion under different land-use patterns with rainfall variability. We studied Qingshuihe Watershed in the Chongli district of the Zhangjiakou area. Four runoff plots, including caragana, corn, apricot trees, and barren grassland, were designed on the typical slopes of Xigou and Donggou locations. The 270 natural rainfall events observed from 2014 to 2016 were used to form a rainfall gradient. The relationship between runoff and sediment yield was analyzed. Results showed that the monthly rainfall of the slope runoff plot in the Chongli mountain area presented the trend of concentrated rainfall in summer, mainly from June to September, accounting for 82.4% of the total rainfall in 2014–2016, which was far higher than that in other months. Starting from April to May every year, the rainfall increased with time, then from July to September, the rainfall decreased gradually, but it was still at the high level of the whole year. Among the four ecosystems, the caragana-field has the best effect on reducing the kinetic energy of rainfall and runoff, which can effectively reduce the runoff and sediment yield of the slope and reduce the intensity of soil erosion. In terms of the total amount of runoff and sediment, the runoff and sediment yield of the caragana-field reduced by 74%–87% and 64%–86% compared with that of the grassland. Comparing different land-use types, the caragana plantation would be conducive to conserving soil and water resources.
Kolpa as a border river in the newspaper Slovenski narod, 1868–1914
Authors: Zajc Marko
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the portrayal of the Kolpa as a border river in the leading Slovenian liberal newspaper Slovenski narod from 1868 to 1918. A border river is understood both in terms of the political concept of a border river and in terms of a natural border in a landscape. The differences between these two concepts can occur over long historical periods and can change significantly (e.g. due to floods, changes in the riverbed and the loss or acquisition of the status of a border river). In the period examined, the Kolpa formed an internal border between the Hungarian and Austrian parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. In addition, since the Late Middle Ages it has been a political border between Carniola and Croatia. The article analyzes the following aspects: a) the Kolpa as a border and a political concept, b) the management of the Kolpa (construction and maintenance of bridges, traffic bans, and restrictions), c) the Kolpa as a dangerous river, and d) border disputes.
From fluid migration to stable circular migration: A case study from Hungary
Authors: Illés Sándor , Kincses Áron , Simonyi Péter
Published: June 2022

This article provides insight into long-term international migration flows to Hungary from 2006 to 2012. The article distinguishes territorial systems embedded in migration and circular inflows. It discusses the concept of international circular migration from an inward perspective. Second, it studies the spatial and temporal changes in the structure of first-time international migrants and circulators using unique tables. Finally, it maps circular migration around this new immigration country. The patterns are generated by the practice of international migrants in combination with the migration policies of the receiving governmental actors. It concludes that circulators lend a sort of stability to the immigration system. Based on an analysis of statistical tables, circular immigration flows remained relatively stable even from a spatial perspective. Exploring stability in the context of circular migration is one of the main innovative approaches of this article.
¿(No) “solo Madrid es Corte”?: la cabeza que gobierna un imperio de Cortes
Authors: Osorio Alejandra B.
Published: June 2022

El cronista real Alonso Núñez de Castro en su Libro Histórico Político, Solo Madrid es Corte (1658), define a la Corte cómo la cabeza que gobierna, dónde reside la razón, y el rey (como cabeza de los reinos), sus consejos, vasallos y hombres importantes cercanos a él. Núñez enfatiza la población de Madrid, enumera los consejos del rey y sus funciones, describe detalladamente la etiqueta observada en la Corte alrededor del cuerpo del rey, incluye la jerarquía de la totalidad de reinos y provincias del monarca, y da cuenta detallada de sus finanzas y contribuciones al erario real. Esta obra produce/establece el espacio (y geografía) imperial del cuerpo político de los Austrias españoles con Madrid como su cabeza cortesana y político-cultural. También se conforma a estructuras y argumentos similares a los que Giovanni Botero, a fines del siglo XVI, definió como característicos de una gran ciudad como cabeza, y los que describen las grandezas de Lima y de la ciudad de México. Una comparación de Madrid con otras ciudades-cortes del cuerpo político de los Austrias españoles, ayuda a entender su bajo perfil en la documentación del Nuevo Mundo, a pesar de su lugar a partir de 1561 como cabeza político-administrativa dentro del imperio.
Baron of Bertier’s embassy to Madrid and the construction of the diplomatic network of Elector Maximilian II Emanuel of Bavaria (1695-1696)
Authors: Martínez López Rocío
Published: June 2022

Elector Maximilian II Emanuel of Bavaria’s marriage to Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria gave him a central role in the complex context of Charles II of Spain’s succession. To achieve his main goals and, ultimately, the Spanish succession for his son Joseph Ferdinand, the elector needed to have a strong diplomatic network at Madrid’s court that could defend his interests. But Bavaria had not had an important presence in the court of the Spanish Monarchy before, so the elector and his main collaborators needed to build a powerful network in the court of Madrid, unconnected to Emperor Leopold I, practically from the ground up. To do it, the elector sent to Madrid in 1695 one of his most treasured diplomats, Pierre, baron of Bertier. In the following pages, we will analyze the background of the diplomatic relationship between Bavaria and the Spanish Monarchy before Charles II’s reign, how the elector’s envoys communicated with the members of a court where there were almost no precedents whatsoever of a steady presence of Bavarian ambassadors and how they built a very important network for their master with the help of the queen mother, Mariana of Austria.

Blended System for Data-Driven Learning of English for Specific Purposes
Authors: Yan Hengbin
Published: June 2022

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Data-Driven Learning (DDL) are two constructivist and student-centered approaches to language pedagogy that are well-established in second language acquisition. Despite recent fruitful attempts to unify the two approaches for enhanced pedagogical effectiveness, current technological bottlenecks, characterized by a lack of specialized functionality and accessible interfaces for ESP learning, have limited their application in a broader range of scenarios such as blended language learning.

To address these issues, the present paper proposes the design and development of a new DDL system tailored to the needs of ESP pedagogy, with functions specifically designed to foster student-centered learning and develop genre awareness at different stages of the ESP learning process. Built on a flexible plug-in architecture, the system utilizes state-of-the-art NLP tools for efficient multilayered linguistic annotation and indexing, made query-able through a user-friendly web interface that minimizes expertise required for DDL activities. We demonstrate the usefulness of the system with a case study showcasing its key functions for data-driven ESP learning, and discuss its potential use in an integrative blended learning environment.
New Deep Learning Model for Face Recognition and Registration in Distance Learning
Authors: Salamh Ahmed B Salem , Akyüz Halil
Published: June 2022

The demand for secure, accurate, and reliable identification of individuals using facial recognition has attracted considerable interest in education, security, and many other sectors, not limited because it is robust, secure, and authentic. Recently, the demand for distance learning has increased dramatically. This increase is due to various barriers to learning that arise from enforced conditions such as seclusion and social distancing. Facial feature extraction in distance education is valuable in supporting face authenticity as it prevents the position of participants from changing, especially during the examination phase. In the field of face recognition, there is a mismatch between research and practical application. In this paper, we present a novel but highly efficient Deep Learning model for improving face recognition and registration in distance education. The technique is based on a combination of sequential and residual identity blocking. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of using deeper blocks than other models. The new model has proven to be able to extract features from faces in a high and accurate manner in compared with other state-of-the-art methods. In registration processing, there are several challenges related to training data limitation, face recognition, and verification. We present a new architecture for face recognition and registration. Experiments have shown that our registration model is capable of recognizing almost all faces and registering the corresponding labels.

The pandemic is currently forcing several countries to take certain restrictions on public transportation to prevent the spread of the virus, Peru is in the aforementioned phase, so many users who continue to use public transportation on a daily basis to get to work, home, supermarkets, among other activities, must stay informed to comply with these requirements. In this context, the mobile application was developed to help the proper management of information of the sanitary measures of the Covid-19 in the area of public transport for the city of Lima, and this is compatible with Android and iOS; likewise, the Mobile-D methodology, helped to make such mobile application and to know the phases to proceed with the implementation, which has an impact on time, information management and user satisfaction. The results of the present document show that the level of user satisfaction increased to 67.5% of a sample of 200 people as the experimental group. It was concluded that the application made it possible to automate the management of information on Covid-19 sanitary measures in the field of public transportation.

Australia has ranked as one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change. The rising trend of temperature is intensifying the creation and extension of urban heat islands (UHI). This paper investigates different cooling street strategies in line with developing resilient Sydney to the effects of climate change. Two different approaches are investigated including, green canopy and cool pavement. A wide range of impacted parameters is examined including Air Temperature, Surface Temperature, Sensible Heat Flux, Sky View Factor, Human Thermal Comfort, and Mean Radiant Temperature. Also, different surface reactions to the sun and shadow were surveyed to investigate the various materials responses to the different levels of shadow. ENVImet software is adopted to simulate and quantify microclimate processes before and after introducing cooling street strategies. This study demonstrates that replacing asphalt pavement with light concrete pavement reduces surface temperature by up to 20°C. Planting short to medium height trees reduces air temperature by up to 3°C and surface temperature by up to 11°C. Also, human thermal comfort has a direct relationship with the Sky View Factor at daytime. Besides, the study proves that the Mean Radiant Temperature is reduced considerably by both green canopy and light pavement scenarios in the daytime; however, the night time radiant heat does not differ substantially in any of the scenarios. Overall, both proposed initiatives show the positive cooling effects on air, surface, and mean radiant temperature, human thermal comfort, and the heat fluxes in the daytime; however, the cool pavement scenario decreases both daytime and night-time air and surface temperature.

Active Aging (AA), which is the process of health promotion, collaboration, and increasing the quality of life in old age, may be a strategy to prevent many future challenges in countries like Iran that have a rapidly aging population. This study aimed to measure AA dimensions in Iran and examine their associations with the quality of mental health among Iranian elderly. A quantitative cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 623 community residents of Tehran aged 55 years or older was conducted. In total, 590 people responded. AA was measured using the Active Aging Index (AAI), including four domains, and mental health of the participants was measured using the 15-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) scale. Associations between AA and GHQ was examined using Mixed-Effect Linear Regression analysis. The overall AAI score was calculated at 26.8 (men 33.9 vs. women 20.6) out of 100. Higher scores in the first domain (employment) and lower scores in the third domain (independent, healthy, and secure living) and the fourth domain (enabling environment) were linked with poorer mental health, but the second domain (participation in society) showed no association. Different aspects of AAI showed different associations with mental health. In addition, it seems that the AAI, as a tool for measuring AA, needs a profound modification in the Iranian context, using qualitative studies in Iran.
Une collecte d’images
Authors: Haug Steffen

Entre 1927 et 1930 à Berlin, puis de 1934 à 1940 à Paris, Walter Benjamin travaille à accumuler des matériaux pour un projet de vaste envergure : retracer, à partir de l’étude des passages parisiens, une « préhistoire du XIXe siècle ». La rédaction du texte est sans cesse différée, tandis que l’immense corpus préparatoire semble voué à croître indéfiniment, devenant une somme composite de citations que double parfois, à la manière d’une note de régie, une réflexion ou une remarque énigmatique.Au fil de ses recherches, Benjamin se rend à l’évidence : il faudra que son Livre des passages soit enrichi par des images. Une « documentation visuelle » se constitue bientôt, écrit-il, glanée pour l’essentiel dans les recueils du Cabinet des estampes de la Bibliothèque nationale où il travaille pendant son exil parisien. Une centaine de notes témoignent de cette collecte et conservent, enfermée dans leurs plis, la mention d’une ou de plusieurs images qui sont restées pour la plupart inconnues jusqu’ici.Steffen Haug a voulu retrouver cette réserve enfouie. Gravures et dessins de presse, tracts, réclames, affiches et photographies, de Meryon et Grandville à Daumier, en passant par la cohorte anonyme et le tout-venant de la production visuelle à grand tirage du XIXe siècle : la moisson rapportée ici est surprenante. Elle invite à lire ou relire les Passages en faisant à l’image toute la place qu’elle occupe dans la pensée du dernier Benjamin, à l’heure où s’élaborent, sous la menace de temps assombris, son essai « L’œuvre d’art à l’époque de sa reproductibilité technique », le projet de livre sur Baudelaire ou ses Thèses sur le concept d’histoire.
An Optimistic Security Model for Improving Cyber Security Using Adaptive Algorithms to Prevent SQL Injection Attacks
Authors: Raju P. Salman , Rao P. Venkateswara
Published: June 2022

Throughout today's economic and social life, the use of web-based services (such as e-commerce, online banking, and web-based communications, to name a few) has become a common habit. Countless applications operate worldwide on millions of servers, and their numbers are steadily increasing. It has become a focus of attackers and hackers for the attacks because of the huge growth of internet usage. It is necessary for all companies to develop and protect their applications in order to maintain their credibility and keep their products relevant for users. Web applications have brought in new classes of computer security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection (SQLIA), and it has exceeded previously prominent vulnerability classes in recent years. SQL injection is the instance of the broader class of vulnerabilities that are based on input validation. The primary purpose of this research is to study the vulnerabilities of SQL injection and to propose an optimistic security model for secure data transmission. In this work, the authors proposed an adaptive algorithm to prevent SQL injections.

Remote permafrost terrain mapping, Grays Bay-Yellowknife corridor, Northwest Territories and Nunavut

Published: June 2022

The new Grays Bay - Yellowknife corridor will provide transportation, energy, and telecommunications to northcentral Canada, and connect existing highway infrastructure to a deep-sea port on the Arctic Ocean. This infrastructure will improve access for
exploration and development, and reduce operating costs in this mineral-rich region of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, one of the biggest impediments to development in this region. Relatively little information on permafrost and ground ice conditions is available for most of the corridor. To
fill this information gap, the Geological Survey of Canada's GEM-GeoNorth program is compiling permafrost and surficial geology information, mapping periglacial terrain features, and modelling ground ice conditions along the corridor. This poster presents the periglacial feature mapping component.
Periglacial features are landforms associated with cold environments and typically contain permafrost. Permafrost, and its related ground ice, affect terrain sensitivity to climate change and surface disturbance. With development of this periglacial terrain and accelerated climate warming in the
north, communities, planners, and regulators require this information to make informed decisions on how and where to build and manage environmentally sustainable and climate change-resilient infrastructure, and determine best adaptation strategies.
Influence of Optimum Torque Reverse Motion on Dentinal Cracks after Root Canal Preparation with Two Nickel-Titanium Rotary Systems
Authors: Khallaf Maram , Hassan Reham
Published: June 2022

Objectives:

This study was aimed to evaluate the cause-effect relationship between canal preparation with ProTaper Next (PTN) and ProTaper Gold (PTG) using optimum torque reverse (OTR) motion or continuous rotation and dentinal crack formation.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty distobuccal roots of human maxillary first molars were divided into five groups; Group I: PTG Full rotation, Group II: PTG in OTR, Group III: PTN Full rotation, Group IV: PTN in OTR, Group V: unprepared (control group). After mechanical preparation, the distobuccal roots were sectioned horizontally at 3, 6, and 9 mm from the apex. Images were captured using a stereomicroscope at 25X to determine the presence or absence of dentinal cracks. Friedman test was used to compare between root sections followed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test for pairwise comparison. Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare between tested rotary systems followed by pairwise comparison with Dunn Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05).

Results:

Crack development was significantly higher in PTG using OTR motion 36.7% followed by PTN using OTR 33.3%, while the control group showed no cracks. PTG and PTN with full rotation showed crack development with 23.3% and 13.3%, respectively.

Conclusions:

The type of motion kinematics used during mechanical preparation have an impact on dentinal crack formation. Nickel-titanium instruments with larger taper tend to induce more cracks.
