Forecasts of the 1989 Loma Prieta, California, earthquake
Authors: Harris Ruth A.
Published: January 2023

The magnitude (Mw) 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay area of central California at 5:04 p.m. local time on 17 October 1989, killing 62 people and generating billions of dollars in property damage. Scientists were not surprised by the occurrence of a destructive earthquake in this region and had in fact been attempting to forecast the location of the next large earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area for decades. This article summarizes more than 20 scientifically based predictions made before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake for a large earthquake that might occur in the Loma Prieta region. The predictions geographically closest to the actual earthquake primarily specified slip on the San Andreas fault northwest of San Juan Bautista. A number of the predictions did encompass the magnitude of the actual earthquake and at least one approximately encompassed the along-strike rupture length. Post-Loma Prieta studies of the 1906 San Francisco, California, earthquake in the Loma Prieta region of the San Andreas fault zone show the Loma Prieta and 1906 events with different senses of slip and fault-plane dip. Therefore, some have argued that the 1989 earthquake was not foreseen, even though (1) this earthquake appears to have released much of the horizontal strain accumulated since 1906, and (2) not all of the forecasts were based on 1906 behavior.
Maximum spectral energy for seismic magnitude estimation. Part I: Rayleigh-wave magnitude
Authors: Yacoub Nazieh K.
Published: January 2023

A method for accurate estimation of surface-wave magnitudes is presented as an alternative to Ms, the classical time-domain magnitude. The salient features of the method are the use of velocity and frequency windows to isolate seismic phases and the use of maximum spectral energy to characterize ground motion for magnitude estimation. Rayleigh-wave ground motion estimated by the new method is generally consistent, but not identical, to that measured in the time domain. The estimated ground motion is used to determine Rayleigh-wave spectral magnitudes for 27 presumed nuclear explosions, from several test sites. These magnitudes are studied for their accuracy and for their transportability between nuclear explosion test sites. For accuracy, we compare spectral magnitudes MR with their corresponding time-domain-measured magnitudes Ms. The comparison encompasses network magnitudes and their standard deviations and magnitude residuals. For transportability, we studied the variations in mb (body-wave magnitude), Ms (time-domain magnitude), and MR (spectral magnitude) for network-averaged mb-equivalent presumed nuclear explosions at the Shagan River and the Qingger test sites. These studies showed that this spectral magnitude has a smaller error than classical time-domain Ms and that it is transportable between the two test sites.
An evolutionary programming method for estimating layered velocity structure
Authors: de Groot-Hedlin Catherine D. , Vernon Frank L.
Published: January 2023

For most geophysical inverse problems, one solves for an Earth model that minimizes the misfit between the observed data and observational predications determined from forward modeling. However, the solutions to such problems are almost always nonunique, as some of the model parameters are poorly resolved by the data. We have developed a novel form of evolutionary programming (EP) that solves directly for a broad cluster of models that adequately fit the data. We obtain improved performance of the EP algorithm by rotating the model parameter axes at each generation so that the axes are aligned perpendicular and parallel to long valleys in the misfit surface. The rotated axes are defined by the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the set of models; the mutation rate in each new direction varies with the square root of the corresponding eigenvalue. This modified EP method finds a wide range of models satisfying the data, allowing one to determine the uncertainty in the model parameters. We illustrate this EP method by applying it to the problem of determining velocity structure from regional travel-time data. Application of this method to a travel-time data set generated from a model that includes a low-velocity zone (LVZ) illustrates that it successfully finds a wide range of models within the broad minimum that includes the initial solution. We apply the method to regional travel-time data recorded at the Kyrgyz broadband network (KNET) and find that velocities are well resolved, except at depths of 25 to 50 km.
A hybrid numerical technique, combining the finite-element and boundary-element methods, for modeling the 3D response of 2D scatterers
Authors: Zhang Bin , Papageorgiou Apostolos S. , Tassoulas John L.
Published: January 2023

A hybrid formulation of the 2.5D elastodynamic scattering problem combining the finite-element method and boundary integral equation method is presented and validated. The formulation of the 2.5D boundary integral equation method that is used was presented in detail by Papageorgiou and Pei (1998) and is an extension of the discrete wavenumber boundary integral equation method originally proposed by Kawase (1988) for 2D scattering problems. Modeling of the wave field in the domain of the scatterer is based on the variational principle of virtual displacements, and discretization of the domain is accomplished using the finite-element method.

The formulation may be used to study the wave field in models of sedimentary deposits (e.g., valleys) or topography (e.g., canyons or ridges) with a 2D variation in structure but obliquely incident plane waves. The hybrid method exploits the versatility of the finite element method for modeling the scatterer and the effectiveness of the boundary integral equation method for taking care of the radiation condition in the half-space. The advantage of the 2.5D formulation is that it provides the means for calculations of 3D wave fields in scattering problems by requiring a storage comparable to that of the corresponding 2D calculations.

Authors: Li YJ , Ko HK , Pan SW , Feng JY , Su KC , Li Y , Yang SN , Hsiao YH , DW Perng
Published: January 2023

Background: Static lung hyperinflation (SLH) measured using body plethysmography in patients with asthma is associated with poor outcomes. The severity of SLH may be associated with small airway dysfunction (SAD), which can be measured using impulse oscillometry (IOS). Objective: This study aims to determine the correlation between SLH and SAD in patients with severe asthma and assess the improvement in SLH and SAD with treatment. Methods: We analyzed data from patients who were enrolled in the Taiwan Severe Asthma Registry, which comprises a prospective observational cohort. Plethysmography and IOS were performed regularly. The relationship between spirometry and IOS parameters was determined. Changes in the clinical outcomes in response to treatment were analyzed. Results: Of 107 patients with severe asthma, 83 (77.6%) had SLH based on an increased residual volume to total lung capacity ratio (RV/ TLC). Most patients were older women with worse pulmonary function and SAD than those without SLH. SAD, defined as increased airway resistance/reactance, was significantly correlated with SLH. Airway reactance at 5 Hz (X5) ≤−0.21 kPa/(L/s) detected SLH with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.84 (P<.0001; sensitivity, 85.2%; and specificity, 83.3%). After 12 months, patients who received add-on biologics (vs those who did not) had significantly reduced exacerbations, fractional exhaled nitric oxide level, and blood eosinophil counts, as well as improved forced expiratory volume in the first second, X5, and a trend toward reduced RV/TLC ratio. Conclusion: In severe asthma, airway reactance (X5) could be a novel parameter for assessing SLH.

Authors: Thayumanasamy Illakiya , Ramamurthy Karthik
Published: January 2023

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible and degenerative brain condition that gradually damages memory and thinking abilities. Despite being incurable, AD causes significant pain and financial hardship to patients and their families. However, medications are most effective when administered early in the course of the disease and early diagnosis is crucial in the treatment of AD to restrict its progression. There are several approaches proposed for computer-assisted AD diagnosis that involve structural and functional imaging modalities, such as sMRI, fMRI, DTI, and PET. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have facilitated the development of novel models for diagnostic accuracy in AD. This research compares the performance of several machine learning and deep convolutional architectures to detect AD from MCI. It is essential to find the effective baseline model for classifying AD, hence all the pre-trained models are evaluated with benchmark dataset. Experimental observations indicate that the DenseNet-169 performed best out of different state-of-the-art architectures, with an average accuracy of 82.2%.

In the third chapter, product defect detection model is constructed based on U-Net network, and residual structure, hole convolution module, strip pooling module and attention mechanism module are introduced to optimize the network model. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the model for product defect detection.
Wavelet Scattering Transform and Deep Learning Networks based Autism Spectrum Disorder Identification using EEG Signals
Authors: Mohi ud Din Qaysar , Jayanthy Anavai K.
Published: January 2023

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurological abnormality that influences how an individual perceives and interacts with others, which leads to issues with social interaction and communication. In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in every 44 children in USA is affected by ASD. The identification of ASD is based on behavioural characteristics and it generally takes a long time from the initial observation of behavioural signs to the final diagnosis, due to the complexity and diversity of ASD symptoms. The application of Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, recorded from 14 ASD affected children and 14 healthy controls, as a potential biomarker for ASD categorisation, was analysed in this study. After pre-processing, second-order Wavelet Scattering Transform (WST) coefficients were extracted from the EEG signals and Deep Learning (DL) based ASD detection networks (WST-ASDNets) were used for categorisation of ASD and control subjects. Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM) based WST-ASDNet and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based WST-ASDNet achieved accuracy of 94% and 92% respectively, in ASD subject identification. The results demonstrate that the proposed WST-ASDNets can efficiently classify ASD and the usage of WST coefficients extracted from EEG signals can be used as potential biomarker for ASD categorisation.

Authors: Zhang Bowen , Wang Tianqi
Published: January 2023

The processing of basketball videos with complex contents faces several challenges in terms of global motion features, group motion features, and individual pose features. The current research cannot solve problems, such as the diverse spatiotemporal features of actions, the utilization of correspondence between spatiotemporal features, the increase of data volume, and the complexity of the network. To solve these problems, this paper studies the visual image recognition of basketball turning and dribbling based on feature extraction. Specifically, the optical flow image was introduced to establish the relationship between the velocity field of the basketball turning and dribbling and the grayscale of the image frame, such as to effectively depict the time variation of pixels. In addition, a convolutional neural network was established based on multi-feature learning to process the sports video image frames, and to extract more spatiotemporal features of basketball turning and dribbling. To improve the feature utilization of the action recognition model, this paper strengthens the extraction of dynamic and static features for the recognition of the player's basketball turning and dribbling in the same scene, and improves the existing convolutional neural network. Furthermore, the multi-feature learning of motion excitation and temporal aggregation of actions were completed. The proposed model was proved effective through experiments.

Estrategias de consumo: qué comen los argentinos que comen
Authors: Aguirre Patricia
Published: January 2023

Este libro presenta una mirada antropológica sobre la alimentación actual. En la tradición de las investigaciones que la abordan como “hecho social total” expone los resultados de un estudio cualicuantitativo de tres lustros llevado a cabo en el Área Metropolitana Bonaerense. Más allá de comprobar que si bien existen alimentos disponibles, estos no son accesibles para gran parte de la población. Buscando las razones de esta falta de acceso, se analiza el desempeño del mercado (precios, ingresos) y del Estado (políticas públicas) entre la década de 1990 y principios del nuevo milenio. Se trata de responder a la pregunta sobre cómo las personas más pobres organizan sus consumos para mejorar su acceso a la alimentación. La respuesta se busca en las estrategias de consumo, no solo de los hogares pobres, sino de los hogares de todos los niveles de ingresos. Estas estrategias, entendidas como prácticas y representaciones, guían las elecciones y le dan sentido a qué, cómo y por qué comer y, como fenómenos de largo plazo, sus directrices no han sufrido grandes cambios hasta el día de hoy. Sin embargo, son estrategias que fracasan al triunfar: aunque logran moderar la crisis en los hogares más pobres, lo hacen al precio de crear un hambre oculta.
Breast asymmetry classification and diagnostics
Authors: Mnikhovich M. V. , Fedorova A. S. , Romanov A. V.
Published: January 2023

Breast asymmetry is a polyetiological condition, which may be caused by congenital characteristics, developmental abnormalities, hormonal changes, traumas or surgery. The estimation of breast symmetry should be performed by the plastic surgeon while planning the augmentation or reduction mammoplasty as well as reconstructive surgery. Breast asymmetry is a widespread condition, according to some reports, it can be found in more than half of women. Anthropometric methods, as well as radiology methods, are used to diagnose and estimate breast asymmetry. There are many classification systems of breast asymmetry. The first ones were based on breast appearance or etiology of asymmetry, while modern classifications combine morphologic and etiologic principles. Today there is no conventional diagnostic protocol for breast asymmetry, where it would be listed, which breast parameters should be measured during breast asymmetry estimation. The first attempts were made in the middle of the XX century. Works of Penn, Smith and Westreich are considered to be basic in this field. Generally, relationships between major breast soft-tissue reference points (nipple, areola, submammary fold, lateral border) and bone structures (breastbone, jugular notch, clavicle) are estimated.

Mathematic formulas for counting breast volume depending on its linear measurements were developed as well. Nowadays the importance of skeleto-muscular system state (the presence of scoliosis or rib cage deformation) estimation is emphasized, while these conditions can also cause breast asymmetry.

Properties and behavior of nanoparticles
Authors: Kiriian S.V. , Kozytskyi S.V.
Published: January 2023

The methods of obtaining nanomaterials have been described, and the conditions for the formation of nanoparticles of a given size have been assessed. It has been shown that the surface energy of the nano-sized particles, due to a large portion of surface atoms, is significantly greater than the surface energy of the microparticles resulting in the non-equilibrium state of the former with the possibility to self-organize forming, in particular, strong and wear-resistant cladding films from the metallic nanoparticles on the friction surfaces. To explain the interaction of the nanoparticles, which are at the boundary of the quantum and classical states, with the environment, the main provisions of quantum mechanics have been used. The mutual interaction between the bare nanoparticles and between the nanoparticle and a surface, separated by the environment, has been considered. It has been shown that without the stabilization with surfactants, metallic nanoparticles will aggregate; in turn, the nature of the interaction between the nanoparticles with the solid substrates is determined by their dielectric constants. The paper presents an overview of the development of the nanotechnology industry, indicates the commercial demand for nanomaterials, marks the countries that are leaders in the production of nanomaterials, and lists the mainelements used for the production of metallicnanopowders.
Formation and informative content of photoplethysmographic signal under the conditions of controllable external compression
Authors: Bekshaev A. Ya.
Published: January 2023

The physical nature and quantitative characteristics of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal under conditions of external compression of the studied tissue area are theoretically investigated. Dependences of the constant and variable components of the PPG signal on the applied pressure are revealed, which have maxima at certain compression values. The physical model of the PPG signal formation process takes into account the optical and mechanical properties of biological tissues. The model is based on the consideration of the diffuse propagation of light in a two-component scattering medium (blood + surrounding tissues) and employs the Kubelka – Munk two-stream theory; in this case, the amount of blood in the tissues is determined by the conditions of mechanical equilibrium and the laws of tissue deformation.

It is shown that the developed model correctly describes the observed qualitative features of the PPG signal, and the condition for the best agreement between theoretical and experimental curves allows real-time determination of the peripheral microcirculation quantitative characteristics (mean value and amplitude of the blood pressure fluctuations in precapillaries, erythrocyte concentration, average degree of blood oxygenation, the vessel walls elasticity, etc.). The developed methods for determining the blood circulation parameters can be used as the basis for inexpensive and effective express methods of research and medical diagnostics, which are especially useful in mass surveys or in environmental monitoring.

Molecular light scattering – the method allow to determine the intensity and coefficient of scattering of the substance. For most of aqueous solutions, the value of this coefficient is comparable to that for benzene, but an order of magnitude more than for water. Therefore, it is necessary to register the emitting intensity of the order of  . For provide such experiments it has been proposed to used the high sensitive astronomical cameras, for eliminate interference, which allowed with physical-chemical processes. The aim of this work is to apply the high sensitive cameras ZWO ASI120MM in the investigation of molecular light scattering. In astronomical research for study the objects with weak light flows (comets, meteors, asteroids), usually used the CCD-cameras. For comparison three types of cameras, which used in the astronomical observations, are given. The CCD-camera VIDEOSCAN-415-2001 has been used for observation of the comets and asteroids, it has a small sizes and can to accumulate the signal without a system of refrigeration.  The camera Watec WAT-902H2 ULTIMATE has high sensitive, that allow to fix the fast flying astronomical objects, meteors for example.  The CCD-camera DMK 21AU04.AS, which is an analogue of ZWO ASI120MM, has been used for registration of fast processes. This article shows a successful application of the astronomical cameras ZWO ASI120MM in the investigation of molecular light scattering. The scheme of experimental setup using that camera is presented. It is shown that as a result of the experiments, it is possible to determine the intensity of the refracted and main ray and calculate the scattering coefficient for the solutions under study. For work with images obtained as a result of experiments, special software has been created. The developed program “Light” is allowed to conduct to measure the average value of the intensity. In the course of subsequent experiments, when setting new tasks, the software will be refined and improved. In the future, it is planned to use this technique for investigation the water-protein solutions.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGE OF A HOUSE IN URBAN TEXTS BY JOSEPH BRODSKY AND ORKHAN PAMUK
Authors: RAMAZANOVA Shelale İ.
Published: January 2023

The research was carried out on the material of the essay by Joseph Brodsky "A guide to the renamed city", "One and a half rooms", and the novel by Orhan Pamuk "Istanbul : the city of memories". The purpose of the article is to identify common ways of creating an image of a house in the works of Joseph Brodsky and Orhan Pamuk as one of the key images in the literatures of the world. In this case, the word "house" includes all dictionary meanings: dynasty, clan; residential building; a place where people live, united by common interests, conditions of existence; your home; family, people living together, their household; as well as such figurative meanings as society, city, country. Conclusions: both authors traced the expansion of the semantics of the image of the house, which finds its expression in the sequential inclusion of a larger group of people localized in a wider space. Since groups of people, living in one city or in one country, due to metaphorical transfers, can be called families (differing in composition)/, then, respectively, the city and country in which these families live, as a result of metonymic transfers, can acquire the meanings of houses differing in size.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of the proposed research is to investigate the influence of the semantic invariant core on the formation and development of a polysemic word-term structure, on the phenomena of variability within both individual term systems and the commonly used vocabulary. The object of research is language subsystems, in particular, terminological subsystems, their interconnections, which are studied from the standpoint of deep semantic processes analysis. The subject of research is the word-term, as an element of the terminological system, as a polysemic structure, and the interrelation of its components with the invariant semantic core. A complex of general and specific scientific methods, techniques and approaches is involved in tasks solving (approaches of lexical semantics, cognitive linguistics, methods of differential and component analysis, analysis of lexicographic definitions, contextual analysis). Research results: while investigating, we have revealed how the semantic invariant core is both a source and a participant in complex semantic processes and linguistic phenomena. Practical value: the results of the research can be used for the analysis and practical use of the principles of term formation, the formation of clusters within terminological systems, as well as for the study of terms functioning in different types of discourse. Conclusion. The functioning of the semantic invariant phenomenon provides opportunities for the emergence and development of the lexeme branched semantic structure, and is one of the global foundations of terminological processes. Analysis of the semantic core potential makes it possible to explain the phenomena of changes in categorical semantic features and categorical blurring.

The Roles of Atambua Customs and Challenges in Dealing with Garment Smuggling in Indonesia-Timor Leste Border Area
Authors: Stefani Djong Selviana , Damayanti Angel
Published: January 2023

Border areas are often the center of crime and tend to be dominated by issues of transnational crimes, including garment smuggling, mainly used clothes. This study aims to examine the strategy of the Indonesian government in dealing with garment smuggling at the border area between East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Timor Leste. The Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) accordingly exercises its essential role in supervising goods in and out of the border area between Indonesia and other countries. This article discloses that although Atambua Customs and Excise agency has conducted preventive and repressive approaches mainly by carrying out operations, patrols, and surveillance activities at the border area, the used clothes smuggling remains problematic due to officials’ practices of bribery and residents’ permissive actions.  The authors use the concepts of transnational crime, garment smuggling, and border security by utilizing a qualitative method with a case study model. Primary data is collected from interviews with the Atambua Customs and Excise agency, and secondary data is collected from documents, books, and websites.
A Teoria Antropológica do Didático como uma ferramenta metodológica para o estudo das relações métricas no triângulo retângulo

Essa pesquisa é um recorte de uma dissertação de mestrado, que teve como objetivo analisar as praxeologias matemáticas e didáticas acerca das relações métricas no triângulo retângulo presentes nas coleções de livros didáticos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e dos livros didáticos do Ensino Médio escritas pelos mesmos autores, a fim de identificar como acontece a passagem desse saber matemático de uma etapa de ensino para outra. Como aporte teórico, utilizou-se a Teoria Antropológica do Didático (TAD) proposta por Chevallard (1999) e seus colaboradores, que permitiu a identificação das praxeologias presentes nos livros didáticos ‘Matemática Realidade & Tecnologia’, ‘Teláris Matemática’, ‘#Contato Matemática’ e ‘Matemática Contexto & Aplicações’. As análises realizadas apontam que esses autores dão enfase no Teorema de Pitágoras como principal técnica de resolução e na construção do ambiente tecnológico-teórico, explorando nas tarefas a resolução por meio da aplicação de fórmulas. Acredita-se que as abordagens que foram desenvolvidas nos livros analisados contribuem para que o ensino e aprendizagem das relações métricas no triângulo retângulo e consequentemente da geometria, continue passando por dificuldades, sendo esse um dos fatores para que se avance no ensino da geometria.

Este libro tiene el objetivo de resaltar y reconocer la existencia de ideas y preferencias complejas que van más allá de los estudios de interpretación de la realidad social (la sociedad y la cultura) conocidas como actitudes y valores, tales como la ideología y sus relaciones con los sistemas de poder. Este objetivo explícito lo distingue de trabajos anteriores de la autora (Flores, 2007; Flores e Infante, 2010; Flores y Estrada, 2016), en los que el propósito fue estudiar cómo las agrupaciones religiosas compiten hoy en día por acrecentar o conser- var el número de sus afiliados, teniendo como base las producciones discursivas y los mecanismos de persuasión utilizados, pero también algunos mecanismos de degradación y agresión ejercidos contra las mujeres. Asimis- mo, la incidencia de la ironía (Ballart, 1991) en el habla oral de la entrevista sociolingüística y, finalmente, el estudio del discurso, sus estrategias (Chilton y Schäffner, 2000) y formas de comunicación en un caso particular de la política mexicana. Tanto este texto como los trabajos anteriores tienen en común el argumento de las producciones discursivas y su relación con el poder. Lo nuevo en este trabajo es resaltar y reconocer la necesidad de encontrar rutas indagato- rias que permitan explicar puntualmente la complejidad del ser humano. Flores Treviño guio la indagación con cuestionamientos orientados a exponer el fun- cionamiento del dispositivo del poder.
Acceso y equidad en el sistema de admisión a nivel de pregrado de la Universidad Surcolombiana a la luz de la Sentencia T-441-1997
Authors: Rozo Vanegas Natalia
Published: January 2023

La Sentencia T-441-1997 establece el concepto de “desigualdad de origen” y permite a las universidades, bajo el principio de la autonomía universitaria, la creación de cupos especiales en sus sistemas de admisión, para la población proveniente de zonas marginadas, que por su condición no pueden presentar en igualdad de condiciones las pruebas de admisión a programas de educación superior. Mediante un enfoque analítico-descriptivo, apoyado en un método mixto, se analizó el sistema de admisión al nivel de pregrado de la Universidad Surcolombiana, desde los factores: naturaleza oficial o privada de la institución de educación media y el estrato socioeconómico de los aspirantes admitidos; elementos que inciden en la configuración de las zonas marginadas. Esto con el fin de determinar si existen brechas de desigualdad en el sistema de admisión con respecto a la población que se encuentra en mayor olvido estatal. El estudio encuentra que predomina la admisión de aspirantes provenientes de colegios públicos y estratos bajos; siendo solo en determinados programas de pregrado donde hay una nivelación e incipiente dominio numérico de los admitidos provenientes de instituciones privadas sobre los de instituciones públicas. También, evidencia la ineficacia de la estratificación socioeconómica para demostrar la capacidad económica de los admitidos.
A Case Study of Millennials’ Attitudes Toward U.S. National Parks
Authors: Ruiz Troy S. , Havlick David G.
Published: January 2023

Visitation to some of the most popular national parks in the United States has surged in recent years, but in many national park units, attendance has declined even as the U.S. population increases. Changing demographics, patterns of visitation, maintenance needs, and inconsistent federal support raise questions about national parks’ relevance to younger generations. In particular, the attitudes of the U.S. Millennial generation are a key concern for park managers and supporters. We evaluate the views of a sample of Millennials toward America’s national parks and find that many lack basic knowledge about national parks, yet still say they value and appreciate the national park system. Land managers should respond to knowledge gaps of Millennials and pursue outreach that strategically consolidates the support of this and younger generations for a national parks system that is expected to provide ecological and cultural benefits for current and future generations.

Computer aided design in education and its interpretation through design thinking
Authors: Togay Abdullah , Coşkun Merve , Güneş Serkan , Güneş Çiğdem
Published: January 2023

The notion of â€œdesign thinkingâ€ can be regarded as a way of thinking that consists of both divergent and convergent phases. As a creative problem solving methodology, it first defines the problem with a human-centered perspective and then analyzes all the aspects of the problem as a part of a whole. This approach can be applied in all fields, including design education. With the emerging technology, computer-aided design tools and techniques have become an indispensable part of design professions, and therefore education. However, the way how computer-aided design tools and techniques should be integrated into current design education has not been discussed adequately. This study aims to frame the problems related to the current content, structure and timing of CAD courses. The alternative solutions regarding the integration of CAD courses to product design education will be proposed by using design thinking method.Keywords: design thinking, computer aided design (CAD), design educationÂ

Having served as the capital of Tsarist Russia for two hundred years until the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the second biggest city of Russia and her gate to Europe, St Petersburg is the city full of historical buildings of fantastic architecture with its historical texture. Because of its historical and cultural significance, St. Petersburg is in UNESCOâ€™s List of World Heritage Sites.On one side, there we have St. Petersburg, a fascinating city, the subject of Dostoyevskyâ€™s novels, with cathedrals, churches, palaces, bridges, statues, and museums, housing rich cultural and historical heritage; on the other side, there we see jewels, reflecting the soul of women and embellishing their bodies.With this study, inspired by the authenticity and the cityâ€™s architectural pattern, innovative designs have been created via advanced 3D modeling technology. Thus, it was aimed that the beauty of the grandeur of history could be utilized as accessories, gaining a new functionality and transferring the cultural heritage values from local to universal level.Practical Research Methods have been adopted as a research methodology. The sampling of the study has been limited to the embellishments reflecting the architectural texture of St. Petersburg, as an inspirational resource for jewelry modelling. In planning the study, the stages of analysis, synthesis, selection and modelling of jewelry designs have been taken into account.

Permanence of an artwork in public areas and a design project: Draw and Erase (Yaz-Boz)
Authors: Çevik Arzu
Published: January 2023

There are three elements that come to the forefront while questioning the permanence of an artwork: The artist who plays a role, although indirectly, in individuals' establishing a direct relationship with the artwork; the political authorities and city administrators who have effective power on the permanence of artworks, and the watchers/users who realize conscious or unconscious vandalistic behaviors to artworks in public areas. While, at times, emerging as a consequence of a systematic destruction of the cultural structure of societies and a dogmatic thinking, the vandalism can also emerge in the form of destructive actions of individuals provoked by psychological and sociological causes. Users who areÂ  consciously or unconsciously injurious behavior to the artwork in the public areas is starting point of the project. At the same time, this interactive project Â was born of necessity Â as a result of human â€“ behavior â€“ environmentÂ  interaction. This project aims the protection of Â the artwork in public spaces and bring together people with interactive art.Â Keywords: public art, sculpture, vandalism, design, interactive Art
