Estudo que teve como objetivo refletir sobre as heranças positivas e os novos caminhos de aprendizagem, utilizando as tecnologias digitais, que foram evidenciados em decorrência da pandemia provocada pela COVID 19 e que ficarão no pós-pandemia, a partir da disciplina educação e comunicação na saúde, da graduação em enfermagem da Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz – UESC. Trata-se de um relato de experiência, de caráter descritivo e abordagem qualitativa. A técnica de coleta de dados utilizada foi observação participante descritiva e princípios da análise documental. Como cenário, a graduação em enfermagem da UESC, localizada em Ilhéus-Ba e os sujeitos foram os discentes matriculados na referida disciplina no período entre 2020 e 2022. Os resultados indicam que a pandemia possibilitou a aproximação e conhecimento das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação – TDIC e que algumas podem ser mantidas no presencial com ganhos para os processos de aprendizagem, tais como: Google Classroom, Google Docs, Google Form, Google Meet, Telegram, Produção de áudiovisual e Instagram. Não se pode abandonar e ignorar as heranças positivas da pandemia. Estas devem ser para preencher as lacunas que já existiam antes e que se tornaram ainda mais evidentes.

O artigo consiste em uma discussão do estado atual da pesquisa, em andamento, “As Margens do Estado na Pandemia: experiências periféricas de (in)segurança humana no Brasil”. Apresentamos o contexto do trabalho, o seu enquadramento epistemológico, alicerçado em conceitos centrais do campo de Estudos para a Paz, e uma análise preliminar dos resultados obtidos até o momento. Iniciado em agosto de 2020, o intuito do projeto é construir um diagnóstico da situação das periferias brasileiras durante a pandemia de COVID-19, mapeando as experiências periféricas a partir do prisma da segurança humana. Para o efeito, serão coletados dados primários através de entrevistas e testemunhos, que comporão um repositório online público de informações. Através de uma abordagem crítica que retira a primazia do conceito de segurança do âmbito dos Estados, incluindo dimensões individuais e societais tais como o empoderamento e o direito e acesso a serviços básicos como educação, saneamento e proteção social, este projeto explora as subjetividades de segurança que emergem de contextos marginalizados. Esta pesquisa contribui para a expansão do enquadramento conceitual acerca da segurança e desenvolvimento humanos, através de uma perspectiva pós-colonial, que aborda as experiências locais nas suas vicissitudes. Assim, o projeto é pensado e desenvolvido com o intuito de contribuir para a visibilização das narrativas e experiências periféricas, bem como propor uma co-construção de abordagens e políticas com o potencial de colmatar as especificidades das crises que estão a emergir em contextos marginalizados do Brasil em decorrência da pandemia de COVID-19.

Published: July 2022

Lake has an important role of Earth’s hydrologic cycle. The changing of
lake water area shows the ecological health of lakes by instant
feedback. Most analyses of long-term monitoring of lake area are not
comprehensive enough, This study based on the remote sensing images from
1977 to 2021, combined with the Keyhole satellite data, hydrographic
survey, meteorology monitoring and land use change survey, investigated
the Poyang lake water area changes. Moreover, examined the response
relationship between lake water area and the impact factor, analyzed the
influence of river lake interaction on lake water area.The results
showed that: (1) From 1977 to 2017, the water area of Poyang Lake in
flood season (June to September) and dry season (November to Next
February) showed a significant downward trend by years. (2) In flood
season, runoff, sediment, precipitation has significant correlation with
water area. In dry season, sediment showed a significant correlation
with water area. (3) The Three Gorges Dam water impoundment at the upper
reaches of the Yangtze River weakened eliminated the blocking or
reversing flow from the Yangtze River, caused the water area decreased
in advance at the end of flood season after 2005, and decreased rapidly
in dry season after 2003. (4) The change of lakebed elevation caused by
sedimentation and human activities also accelerated the shrinkage of
water area. Result demonstrated that the variation of river lake
interaction is the primary cause of Poyang Lake water area dramatic
change.

Published: July 2022

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare and devastating disease
of the pulmonary vasculature with a high morbidity and mortality rate in
infants and children. Currently, treatment approaches are mostly based
on adult guidelines and pediatrician clinical experience, focusing on
specific pulmonary antihypertensive therapy and conventional supportive
care. The advent of targeted drugs has led to significant advances in
the treatment of PAH in children, including endothelin receptor
antagonists, phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, and prostacyclins,
which have been studied and proven to improve hemodynamics and
functional class in children PAH. A new targeted drug, riociguat, is
assessing its safety and efficacy in clinical trials. However, more
randomized controlled studies are needed to evaluate the combination of
drugs, treatment strategies, and clinical endpoints of targeted therapy
in children PAH. In this review, we summarize the research advances of
PAH-targeted therapy in children over the last decade in order to
provide a theoretical basis for future studies.
PRESERVATION OF THE HISTORICAL URBAN ENVIRONMENT CAPTIVED OF OLD MISTAKES
Authors: Vechersky Victor
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current situation with the preservation and regeneration of the historic urban environment. The means and procedures used for this are analyzed. It is concluded that this area has significantly degraded over the past 20 years. This manifested itself in the fact that now the historical and architectural reference plan remains in fact the only document that protects the traditional nature of the historic city environment. As a fixation document, not a regulatory one, the historical-architectural reference plan does not actually perform this function. There is a return to the archaic - to an inefficient and long-rejected discrete approach to the protection of each individual monument, which is a fundamental mistake. The most important practical measures are the development of historical and architectural reference plans and projects of protected areas. They have practical meaning only in a complex and in a single sequence, when the results of the historical and architectural reference plan are embodied in the design of protected areas and research and design documentation to determine the boundaries and modes of use of historic sites. Only a full set of these works, carried out consistently and in a short time (1-2 years), a single interdisciplinary group of experts, can ensure the effectiveness of urban protection of cultural heritage and traditional environment. In urban planning documentation - master plans and detailed plans of historical cities - historical and architectural reference plans, boundaries of historical areas and protection zones are a basis for project decisions to ensure the protection of immovable cultural heritage, planning and construction. The practice of urban planning in historic cities poses new challenges, to solve which it is necessary to update the regulatory framework. In this sense, the most difficult group of problems is the identification and preservation of landmarks, ie areas recognized as landscape monuments (so-called cultural landscape), as well as urban monuments. It is also necessary to develop separate regulations (or supplement existing ones) to ensure the preservation of architectural and urban heritage in rural areas and outside settlements, as this issue has its own specifics and today is effectively addressed only in the case of a state historical and cultural reserve. It is proposed to develop a comprehensive territorial approach to the preservation of the entire immovable cultural heritage of the city and the traditional nature of its environment as a single spatial system.
SELECTED ISSUES OF PRESERVING THE HISTORICAL ENVIRONMENT OF RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES OF THE 1920S-1930S IN UKRAINE
Authors: Smolenska Svitlana
Published: July 2022

The article raises some topical issues of preservation and regeneration of the historical environment of residential complexes of the avant-garde modernism period in Ukraine, in particular the deplorable condition of multi-story apartment buildings of the 1920s and 1930s. The reasons for the disfigurement of their authentic appearance by residents (extensions, glazing of balconies, partial "insulation" of facades, etc.) are revealed. Even houses that are included in the register of immovable monuments and have protective signs are undergoing significant transformations. Two essential aspects of the problem: legislative and value ones are highlighted by the author of the article. An analysis of the relevant articles of the Laws and State Building Norms of Ukraine showed that unauthorized actions to change the appearance of a house by the owners of individual apartments and premises are formally illegal, since the facades, adjacent territory, non-residential premises are the common property of all residents. But in fact, the residents are not united legally, have no interest in preserving the authenticity of the historic building. As the experience of advanced European countries, such as Germany, where the 1998 privatization of apartments was carried out, shows, residents' associations and other public organizations play an essential role in preserving the historical residential buildings of the modernist period. The experience of advanced European countries is of interest. In Germany, for example, as in Ukraine, apartments were privatized in 1998. It complicated the task of preserving historic residential buildings. However, society was already prepared to realize the value of the modernist heritage. It is considered prestigious to live in houses of this period. Inhabitants form associations whose purpose, along with the management of the joint property, is also to preserve the authenticity of the building. Great support and assistance to public initiatives is rendered by ICOMOS Germany. Awareness of the value of the house by its residents and owners is an important condition for the preservation of the historical environment and Ukrainian cities today. This was taken into account by the organizers of the workshop with the participation of German and Ukrainian students-architects, which was held in autumn 2017 in Zaporizhzha. An integral part of their project was a detailed plan to involve the residents of the quarter, erected in the late 1920s and early 1930s, in the process of its revitalization.
HOW TO DETERMINE MONUMENT PROTECTION ZONES
Authors: Vechersky Victor
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the issues of determining the boundaries and modes of use of the zones of protection of immovable monuments of cultural heritage in Ukraine. The urgency of this issue is due to the objective complexity and ambiguity of the subject area, as well as insufficient knowledge of the "material part" among those who practice in this field. The need to take into account not the monument itself, but its territory as a basic factor is emphasized. The peculiarities of defining protection zones of monuments of different types are considered. The error of the discrete approach to the definition of protection zones of each specific monument, regardless of other monuments and their mutual location, is noted. The need for a comprehensive and systematic definition of protection zones for all immovable monuments within the settlement is emphasized. It is important to emphasize the priority of careful and concrete determination of the modes of use of the territories of the zones of protection of monuments, imposed on them town-planning restrictions and encumbrances. This should be done in accordance with the principle of reasonable sufficiency, avoiding, where possible, bans on any urban planning activity and preferring its clear regulation. The usefulness for the society of correctly defining the zones of protection of monuments on the basis of a properly verified scientific methodology can be easily diminished. And not just the political situation, but also the petty urban politics of unencumbered people who care only about their own temporary gain, ignoring the catastrophic losses for the nation in the future. Until Ukrainian society learns to recognize such threats and engage experts in combating them, the methods and criteria for defining the boundaries of cultural heritage protection zones will remain at the level of academic exercises that have little to do with reality.

Published: July 2022

Endophytic fungi have been reported to promote plant growth and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. This study aimed to determine the effect of endophytic fungi application isolated from the sengon (Falcataria moluccana) seeds on the growth of sengon. The seed-borne endophytic fungi were applied when the session was three weeks old by sprinkling each suspension of endophytic fungi (103 to 106 spores/ml) on the soil around the plant roots. The experimental parameters evaluated were height, diameter, and total wet and dry weight. This study showed that endophytic fungi treatment has no significant effect on the stem diameter, total wet weight, and water content; but significantly affected the height and total dry weight. Cladophialophora sp. and Ascotricha sp. fungi increased the height growth of sengon, while Aspergillus sp. fungi increased the total dry weight against the control. Ochroconis sp. treatment was not significantly different from the control. The shoot-root ratio values range from 1.13-1.43, indicating that the seeds already have roots supporting plant growth. The Dickson quality index range from 0.65-1.03 suggested that the seedlings have good biomass distribution. Consequently, endophytic fungi have the potential to increase the growth of sengon seedlings.

Published: July 2022

Satellite information is an important source of information for assessing the impact of economic activities on ecosystems and identifying the risks associated with global climate change, their impact on ecosystem productivity, and land degradation and desertification. Satellite information makes it possible to extrapolate observation data at meteorological stations to large areas and provides a more accurate estimate of the prevalence of climatic and weather adverse effects on agricultural landscapes. The basis for the use of remote sensing methods to monitor the impact of climate change on agricultural landscapes and land use systems is knowledge of the relationship between structure and condition of vegetation, moisture supply, with its spectral reflective characteristics, which allow identifying vegetation types and stress according to aerospace survey.

This study, aimed at evaluating the link between maize farmer lands and infrastructures. The main objective of the study was to find out the existing links between farmlands and infrastructures within the maize supply chain in the North Central States of Nigeria. The investigation was carried out using questioners to assess the constraints of farmers in supply chains, multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted to sample the respondents in Kuje Area Council and Mararaba. A total of 130 respondents were interviewed using a structured interview guide. Results indicated that the majority of the farmers have no access to adequate infrastructural facilities such as roads, processing facilities, storage facilities and markets. Proximity analysis was also carried out analyzing GRID3 data for farmlands, roads and market points using ArcGIS 10.8. The result also shows that the majority of the maize farmlands are not close to the markets and there are no major roads connecting the farms to the transportation of farm produce. Farmers are infrastructural constraints at the production, transportation and marketing stage. The study, therefore, suggests a more viable infrastructural facility for farmers to interconnect farmland, to enable farmers to have access to good roads, storage and processing facilities which will enhance the maize value chain.
The Fluid Discontinuity Theory
Authors: Panchariya Dev Arastu
Published: July 2022

Theoretical Physics is perhaps the only class of philosophies that has really enhanced and evolved itself to a lot of extent seeking clues towards the ultimate nature of reality. Stretching from the Theory of General Relativity and Quantum Physics, it’s been diversified with quite peculiar answers to multiple deep facets. However, still there is a significant fragment of Physics which is yet to be developed in that theoretical frame of system where the mathematical analysis turns in a more definitive role and thus, holds the intersection of certain other branches of the field and this area is Fluid Dynamics or Hydrodynamics. Although there is no question over some forsooth brilliant contributions in the regime but still, this discovery will deal with a nonpareil strand in order to fill some gaps which will determine new findings to lead the coming times much exclusively through the realm. The proposed discovery in this paper, being chronicle on the most primordial basis; is about quilting the distinction of waves as a whole in the fluid being in layered form and its impact via penetration of mass into those in form of respective disturbance in its fabrication of fundamental geometry. In other words, the idea proposed is about investigating and evolving the understanding of fluid discontinuity in distinctive extents forming geometrical patterns which is the idea that has also been undertaken to insights by some of the greatest Philosophers, Physicists, and Mathematicians of the last two centuries from Helmholtz to Lord Kelvin to Einstein but unfortunately it could not be attained in a full turn of deeper understanding in terms of Theoretical and Mathematical evolution as attempted by all these greatest forefathers of Sciences. In order to extract the idea with the overlap of modern mathematical integration, the entire formation of the defined system is taken into the account by establishing geometrical interpretations which will also develop more protean insights into the field and fill many further gaps in the classical regime of the Dynamics and gives a modern turn to it. The fabrication of the idea is systematically unfolded in terms of both Theoretical & Mathematical engagements concerning to the respective structures taking place in form of different theories partaking in an evolutionary methodology.
The Concept of a “Conspiracy” vs the Empire in the Views of the “Right” (by the Example of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries)
Authors: Liubov Ulyanova
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the attempt to revise the dominant idea in historiography that the right-wing movement of the early twentieth century is part of Russian conservatism on the basis of the infamous work «Protocols of the Elders of Zion» analysis. After attributing this text as the first comprehensive work reflecting the views and discourse of the future Black Hundreders, it can be said that the focus of the ideas of the «Right» was the concept of «conspiracy» of the world «international government» against traditional statehood («empire»), and it was from that «basis» that their political, economic, social and cultural views, including criticism of the banking policy of the Russian state at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries, associated with the name of the Finance Minister S.Yu. Witte, and the «Jewish question». At the same time, Russian conservatism of the same historical period did not have such «conspiratorial» concept in its framework, operating with rational arguments, modern in essence.
Imperialism, Orientalism and Anti-Colonialism in the System of Eurasian Ideas: the Type of Eurasian Discourse as Geopolitical Antinomy
Authors: Xenia Ermishina
Published: July 2022

The article examines the origins of the Eurasian theory of statehood. P.N. Savitsky, in his early writings, rejected the adventuristic Western model of imperialism and put forward the theory of continental empire which later took shape in the Eurasian concept of “Continent-Ocean”. N.S. Trubetskoy's initial Eurasian idea had virulent anti-imperialist and anti-colonial nature, but in his later Eurasian period he formulated his own theory of statehood based on the Eurasian concept of a chorus of personalities, the “fraternization” of Eurasian peoples, and subconscious empathy founded upon common historical destiny. While Savitsky believed that Russia became an empire at the moment of its unification with Ukraine in the mid-17th century, Trubetskoy generally estimated the unification with Ukraine rather negatively, and more specifically, the internal and foreign policy pursued by the authorities after unification which opened the way to Europeanization of Russia and disregard of national origins. Trubetskoy himself believed that Russia became an empire after the conquests of Kazan, Astrakhan and Siberia and after the experience gained while under the rule of Genghis Khan. The two concepts of empire proposed by Savitsky and Trubetskoy were organically combined into a single ideocratic Eurasian concept of empire.
Artistic Comprehension of National Power in the Prose of Russian Emigration of the First Wave (I.A. Bunin, B.K. Zaitsev)
Authors: Victoria Zakharova
Published: July 2022

This article is devoted to the study of the problem of perception of Russian statehood on the examples of artistic and autobiographical narratives of two famous writers – “The Life of Arsenyev” novel by I.A. Bunin and the “The Journey of Gleb” tetralogy by B.K. Zaitsev. Moreover, this is about the youthful perception of life, not yet clouded by any socio-historical cataclysms. It is concluded that I.A. Bunin and B.K. Zaitsev inscribed wonderful pages in the artistic historiosophy of the Russian statehood, organically perceived at the end of the nineteenth century as the Orthodox empire with the centuries-old history that evoked love and pride of compatriots.
Need for the Empire
Authors: Sergey Chernyakhovsky
Published: July 2022

Analyzing the world experience of empires, including the Russian empire, and their main features, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that empires do not entirely disappear as there are many zones in the geopolitical space for which the form of empire can be seen as optimal. The fall of one empire generated in this space can serve as just prologue for the appearance of another one, – with different authority subjects and different carrier ethnos, but fulfilling the same function: to politically unite the multiethnic and multicultural territory drawn to unity. The author believes that in fact the empires can be viewed as extensive spaces-states united by the Project. The author thinks that the collision of interests choice between empire and the people should be viewed through this prism, noting that People who reject the Project will remain just population. This is caused by the fact that the Project, apart from other things, constitutes the identity of people that creates the empire, expressing its collective “Self” and “Connotations”, in other words, – the variety of values that are considered existential for this people. The tenacity of empires for several centuries, including the contemporary epoch, even if in different forms, is determined by the fact that only Empire can be considered the form of the Project existence.
Popular Movement in the Baltic States for Conversion to the “Tsar Faith”
Authors: Sergey Lebedev , Galina Lebedeva
Published: July 2022

The article aims to analyze pursuit and struggle for conversion to the “Tsar Faith” in the territory of the Baltic states. In the Russian Empire the Baltic area constituted a separate Governorate General that included three provinces – Estland, Courland and Livland. According to the German name of the Baltic sea, - Ostsee, - that area even in Russian was termed Ostsee Governorate (the present-day territories of Estonia and Latvia). The Orthodox religion was the first Christian faith that appeared in the territory of modern Latvia and Estonia already in the 11th century and was brought from neighboring Russian areas. Still this Russian faith was subjected to oppression in various historical periods. For example, in the period of 1918 – 1926 twenty eight temples were taken away from the Orthodox Church in Latvia, but still the people in those territories were driven to Russian culture and Russian church. Today the Baltic area is defined as boundary area in the public conscience due to the collisions of various religions, languages and cultures. This fact is related to the people’s self-identification, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the Baltic native inhabitants were only loyal subjects of Russian emperors and loyal citizens in the USSR. And the issues of confession play the crucial role in the identification and fate of the peoples being the major issues in the border and developing areas.

Published: July 2022

Stunting is one of the problems that can potentially be experienced by children. This situation is of course not desired by parents, especially mothers. Unfortunately, the understanding of the dangers of stunting is not yet clear for some mothers. For this reason, information services are provided to determine whether information services are able to increase understanding of the dangers of stunting for mothers. This research is an experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study were mothers at the Posyandu Merpati 2, Jatimurni Bekasi city. The sample in this study was drawn purposively with a total of 38 people. Data were collected through the stunting hazard understanding scale. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results showed that information services were able to improve understanding of the dangers of stunting for mothers. The implication of the results of this study is that as a type of service in guidance and counseling, the use of information services can be extended to various life settings.
PERLINDUNGAN ANAK DALAM PANDANGAN ISLAM
Authors: Cikka Hairuddin
Published: July 2022

The concept in Islam reminds every parent to prepare their children as well as possible, and do not leave them in a weak state, either weak in wealth, weak in education, especially weak in faith, because it will be dangerous for their children. Allah SWT says: "And fear Allah those who, if left behind them weak children, who they worry about (their welfare). Therefore, let them fear Allah and let them speak the truth." (Q.S. an-Nisa: 9). Islamic teachings really protect children because children are a gift as well as a mandate from Allah to parents who must be nurtured and educated as well as possible so that they become human beings with noble character (akhlaqul karimah), physically strong, mentally strong, and strong faith.
Hester’s resistance against the patriarchal society: A postcolonial reading ofThe Scarlet Letter
Authors: Alenezi Majed
Published: July 2022

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter can be read within the framework of postcolonial theory, with colonialism equating patriarchy. The anti-colonial reading of the novel is permitted through Hester’s struggle with what seem to be prevalent regulations regarding gender, culture and religion. The only way for females to be liberated from this patriarchy is by rejecting it. Hawthorne, in this novel, suggests that being a woman is in itself fighting back. Thus, it is only through womanhood that the female character is able to arrive at a reconciliation with themselves and with their consciences.
“Now I could tell my story”. Eavan Boland’s motifs of revising the Irish poetic tradition
Authors: Dolmányos Péter
Published: July 2022

The prominent place that Eavan Boland occupies in the essentially male-defined and male-dominated canon of contemporary Irish literature is the result of the poet’s pioneering act of entering into a reconstructive and resituating dialogue with that tradition and which in turn has paved the way for numerous younger women poets to claim a place for their voices and redefine that tradition itself. The paper seeks to examine and explore a number of topoi with and through which Eavan Boland would negotiate her position in relation to the Irish literary tradition, from broad general motifs to ones peculiar to the Irish context.
Notes on the trickster as a literary character in archnarratives. A brief initial analysis
Authors: Danišová Nikola
Published: July 2022

The so-called “trickster” is a special and important archfigure in the mythological and fairy-tale images of each civilization and cultural circle. The trickster is a controversial and often (seemingly) contradictory character that belongs to the “culture of popular laughter” (Bakhtin) or picaresque mythology (Kerényi). The aim of this paper is to present a brief initial analysis of the selected characters on a trans-genre and trans-cultural sample of ancient texts.
Representation of female identity in humour
Authors: Gogová Lenka
Published: July 2022

The article discusses humour as a form of communication and social interaction, which is not only based on sociocultural similarities, tolerance and solidarity among in-group members but also hostility or aggression towards out-group members. As humour is formed on binary oppositions, the female gender is often used as a popular “target” in humour discourse. It also represents “otherness” regarding the opposite gender and communicates social codes based on physical appearance, behaviour, or specific roles in society. Gender-stereotyping, which is used to categorize and understand the “outside” world better, is one of the most common and simplest approaches in humour discourse. The main aim of our research is to discuss the role of women and the way female identity, as a social construct, is defined and presented in humour discourse through stereotypes. More precisely, this article examines the evolution of women’s representation in the situation comedies with regards to their stereotypical portrayals and traditional social roles.
From the vanishing to the virtual: space envisioned in literature
Authors: Mukherjee Sanjay
Published: July 2022

The paper contends that space envisioned in literature – which is always inextricably intertwined with time – has never been real. From the bucolic settings in Theocritus’s idylls (which have a pronounced mythical component) to the town in the heart of America in Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, which is narrated in the past tense to be as “once a town”; from the Ptolemaic concept of heaven and hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy to the “unreal cities” in Eliot’s The Waste Land; from the thatched cottages and country churches besides the vanishing village greens in Chaucer, Blake and Austen to the goings-on in the imagined county of Wessex in Hardy’s novels or the invented islands by Swift in Gulliver’s Travels to the retreat to the Walden Pond, to, the fading away of institutional space – whether in the phenomenal world or the space within the human heart – as in Larkin’s “Church Going”, literature worth reading has always been a complex record of what we were (the vanished time-space) to what might become of us in the dystopic time-space narrated with all the horror on the screen that collapses the boundaries between the actual and the virtual. The paper attempts to contemplate on some of these points.
Reading buildings: The textual turn of architecture as a parallel to the spatial turn in literary studiesi
Authors: Topolovská Tereza
Published: July 2022

This article seeks to explore the parallels between the spatial turn embraced by contemporary literary theory and the so-called textual turn in architecture. More specifically, links between the contemporary developments of architectural theory and practice and literary criticism are established. In order to highlight the nature and origin of the connection between these two contemporary tendencies, this paper draws on a number of authoritative texts of both literary criticism as well as architectural theory, predominantly within the Anglo-American context. Architecture is presented from the viewpoint of the 20th and 21st centuries, which accentuates its liberation from a purely formal understanding by emphasizing the human involvement in its interpretation. The conception and structuring of physical spaces are therefore regarded as conditioned by processes similar to those involved in the construction of meaning in language and literature. Thus, while literary studies benefits from the extension of its field of study through the inclusion (and contemporary primacy) of the spatial point of view, architectural criticism invites active participation in the construction of its meaning, in other words, its reading. The processes of the mutual influencing and enrichment of both the textual turn in architecture and the spatial turn in literary studies is exemplified by means of contemporary architectural works that embody the synergic relationship of the two traditionally separate fields – (literary) text and architecture.

Shortage supply of space for urban infrastructure including street and pedestrian aspects remains a great challenge in the context of Bangladesh due to the rapid growth of urbanization. Here, overcrowded cities can hardly manage space for walking, the safest mood of public mobility. In Sylhet, a city in north-eastern Bangladesh, widening the vehicular street and decorating pedestrian pathways is the common tendency of street development by the local authority where the quality of urban streets is rarely investigated. In most research, walking preferences are measured via a quantitative method by addressing street comfort, traffic, and size rather than the urban design qualities of the street, i.e. a qualitative approach. Hence, the project aims to identify the user preferences for walking in the Zindabazar area, a commercial street of Sylhet considering the urban designs qualities like enclosure, legibility, human scale, transparency, complexity, coherence, linkage, and imageability. Therefore, this research applied a questionnaire survey, conducted to analyse the relation between walking preferences and urban design qualities of the commercial street. After collecting Likert scale data, Linear and multiple regression models were used to analyse it. Regression analysis was conducted to identify the relation between urban design qualities and user preferences for walking on the proposed street. The research identified that walking preferences of user are not significantly associated with all the factors of urban design qualities except legibility, transparency, and human scale. The research will help identify the poor and significant urban qualities of the street(s) which need to be modified to improve user preferences.
On the incompleteness of mutation: Introduction to Pretoria Regionalism
Authors: van der Westhuizen Cornelius
Published: July 2022

This article aims to make the European professional audience acquainted with the architecture of an important southern African city. Additionally, the author hopes to familiarise this audience with the cultural nuances and character of this city, while trying to maintain distance as a native of the city. South Africa is famous for its significant natural and wildlife treasures. Internationally the history of this country’s politics and developing democracy are also well known. From famous political leaders overcoming the harsh and hateful Apartheid laws to more world-renowned medical practitioners performing ground-breaking medical procedures: the impact of South African global contributions cannot be overlooked. However, there is significant oversight in the appreciation of the architecture and analyses of the urban conditions in the country. Pretoria is the administrative capital of the Republic of South Africa and contains a substantial oeuvre of built works that is testament to the numerous international and local cultural influences. Thus, it was deemed necessary to present the architectural and artistic responses from the modernist period (late 1920s – 1970s). The Pretoria Regionalist style, sometimes styled as the Third Vernacular, is a contextually inspired, and unique Transvaal-esque mutation of the machined and purist aesthetic of the Modernist Movement (1920s – 1960s). This architectural oeuvre is presented within the historical context of the founding and evolution of South Africa. Hence, eight contextually appropriate and architecturally significant edifices representing the modernist architecture of the early 20th century are broadly discussed.
Baťovany – (re)visions of a modern town: Searching for identity
Authors: Vaňová Veronika , Pohaničová Jana
Published: July 2022

The town of Partizánske in Slovakia, formerly known as Baťovany and built according to the design of the urban development plan of architect Jiří Voženílek (1909 - 1986) from 1938, represents a unique urban-architectural achievement in the context of not only Czechoslovak functionalist architecture, but also the emergence of modern European cities in the first half of the 20th century. Its original Baťa image, the remarkable idea of a linear industrial town with numerous structural and building innovations in the field of architecture have co-created the town’s identity over the years and its original urban, architectural and historical value remains clearly observable. If we do not protect these values, the town will gradually lose its identity. From this perspective, the key aspect is the re-identification or (re)vision of the historical, architectural-urban, industrial and cultural values of the original industrial town concept and the subsequent confrontation of this model with the current demands of the town residents as a way to rediscover the disappearing identity with an emphasis on preserving and maintaining the exceptional values of Baťa architecture and urbanism. To this day, Partizánske has not adopted any concept of functioning territory or object-focused monument protection of Baťa heritage. Possible solutions regarding monument protection and rescue, restoration or reconstruction of the original Baťa architecture are hindered by lack of open communication between monument protection institutions, experts - historians, architects and urban planners with practical experience, town councils, civic associations and town residents. Therefore, our research also focuses on cooperation with the inhabitants of the town and introduces them to possible intervention solutions for the preservation of the unique architectural, urban and cultural heritage. This paper attempts to search for possible ways (participatory design, research by design, etc.) of ensuring the sustainability of the identity of the town, while preserving the unique values of Baťa heritage in Partizánske for future generations.
Star Status authentic design
Authors: Baláž Martin
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, we must be prepared for unknown or unexpected situations in design, design research, and design education. We are awaiting changes in standards for the art, design and engineering education system. We are currently facing a new type of communication in the design process. Classical research and traditional forms are changing, and we are searching for new research and development strategies. The Star Status philosophy is viewed in a social context as a section of design process. It is part of the alternative design programme of design thinking, education and training, which also comprises Open Sphere Strategy and Authentic Design Essence. Together they create a flexible system for the action-centric design process, research and education with a spirit of avant-garde thinking. In general, this system can define Designers as Individuals (Stars) in Society Groups (Constellations); they are connected to other members by various Relationships (Status). Some stars form connections, constellations and new compositions with other stars. Through new connections, the stars in constellations create a new composition, new context, new lifestyle. The acquiring and mastering of design drawing is the most credible technique of an autonomous artistic exploration, of drawing as a way of thinking in the most natural form in the designing process, functional as technology in the Star Status Philosophy. The ability to create a visual communication language is an important part in the fusion of the Action Centric independent artistic research and development. As part of interdisciplinary experience, the acquiring and mastering the common strategy in designing process between the designer and engineer, mastering the philosophy and method of design strategy, synthesis of designer drawing and 3D environment are the basic layers of Synergic research and development Design Strategy.
The influence of smoking on the periodontal biome. A review.

Published: July 2022

Periodontal disease is believed to be an opportunistic infection due to the interaction of bacterial plaque and the patient’s response that may be influenced by environmental, genetic, and other risk factors. In addition to the fact that smoking is considered a risk factor in many systemic diseases, it has also been associated with the initiation of periodontal disease. Smoking is one of the modifiable risk factors and has a significant influence on the development, progress, and results of the treatment of periodontal disease. The current state in the field of study suggests that smoking aids the colonization of periodontal microorganisms, accelerating the onset of periodontal disease. Biological modifications in pathogens, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, along with poor immune response, influence the variations of subgingival flora in smoking patients. Only with an individual approach can the risk factors of each patient be identified and satisfactory results obtained. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the influence of smoking on periodontal microbiome and the importance of adopting the appropriate treatment method according to the influence of this risk factor on healing.
