TOURISM AS A DRIVER OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE RURAL SETTLEMENT ZARECHNOYE IN VELIKOUSTYUG DISTRICT OF THE VOLOGDA REGION)
Authors:   Vologda State University, Vologda, Russia, Orlova V.S.
Published: June 2021

Currently, a significant part of the rural territories of the regions of Russia is characterized by low production potential, a low level of agricultural development. For such territories, tourism could be the driver of socio-economic growth and innovative development in time. It was therefore increasingly important to develop a conceptual approach to rural development based on tourism innovations, which was the aim of the study. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: conceptual approach to rural development, economic and statistical methods, sociological survey, expert assessment, data capture and other methods of analysis and synthesis. The results of the survey: an analysis of the socio-economic situation of the rural territory was carried out on the example of the rural settlement of Zarechnoye in the Veliko-Ustyug district of the Vologda region, the main problems were identified: demographic and infrastructural, as well as a low level of productive potential. Based on the analysis, a conceptual approach to rural development was proposed through the development of tourism innovations. The conceptual goal is to increase the attractiveness and innovative development of the rural settlement of Zarechnoye based on its natural and cultural and historical potential. The projects proposed within the framework of the approach were aimed at improving and increasing the attractiveness of the territory for internal (local population) and external entities — investors, tourists, to promote the settlement in the external environment as a promising area for life and a favorable place for recreation. The target indicators for the development of rural settlement had been set: an annual increase in the number of residents registered on the territory of the settlement, and the formation of a stable inbound tourist flow. Scientific novelty: the originality of the author’s conceptual approach to the development of rural areas was determined by the possibility of their integrated development through the creation of a coastal tourist and recreational zone, which made it possible to fully realize the cultural, historical and natural potential of rural settlements. Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used by regional and local authorities and management to develop programs and projects for the development of tourist activities in rural areas. Conclusion: The study suggests that the creation of tourist and recreational areas in rural areas, taking into account the cultural and natural heritage of settlements, will contrib¬ute to the effective realization of their tourism potential and can become an incentive for innovative development of rural areas in modern conditions.

Reducing the number of road accidents is an urgent task, the solution of which can be achieved, including by improving the design of vehicles. One of the most common causes of road accidents is the occurrence of a car skidding during braking with its subsequent exit from the traffic corridor. The effective development of new vehicle safety systems that increase its directional stability during braking and the improvement of existing systems is possible only if there are reliable methods that take into account the main parameters of the vehicle that affect its stability during braking. The currently existing methods and expressions for calculating the heading angles of a car at the end of braking have a number of assumptions that facilitate the calculations. This does not diminish their value, but slightly reduces accuracy. The purpose of this work was to clarify the methodology for calculating the permissible and actual heading angles of the vehicle at the end of braking. Within the framework of the work, theoretical studies have been carried out, based on the analysis of existing research on this topic. Based on the analysis performed, it was found that the existing methods and expressions for calculating the heading angle of a car at the end of braking do not take into account the effect of differences in the track dimensions of the front and rear axles of the car, and the center of mass of the car is conventionally assumed to be located on the longitudinal axis of the car. Evaluation of the influence of these parameters on the accuracy of calculations has not been carried out at present, there are no expressions for calculating the permissible heading angle of the vehicle at the end of braking. As a result of theoretical studies, a refined technique was obtained, including expressions for calculating the actual heading angle of the vehicle at the end of braking under various braking modes. The previously specified parameters are taken into account in the expressions obtained. An equation was derived to calculate the permissible heading angle of the car at the end of braking, taking into account the dimensions of the car, its location relative to the edge of the carriageway and the width of the lane. The refined expressions and the resulting equation that form the methodology for calculating the heading angles of the vehicle at the end of braking represent the scientific novelty of this work. To increase the efficiency of calculations according to the proposed method, a computer program has been developed. The direction of further research is to assess the adequacy and accuracy of the proposed methodology using the developed program.
A Centralidade do Político nas Tragédias
Authors: Morais Ricardo Manoel de Oliveira
Published: June 2021

Objetiva-se analisar o político como elemento temático central nas peças trágicas gregas, enfatizando-se, principalmente, a peça sofocliana de Édipo (ainda que outras sejam analisadas). A relevância desta análise justifica-se pelo fato de que as tragé-dias permitem compreender uma dimensão do ser humano que, como ser ontologicamente político, se abre ao indeterminado. Assim, não se pres-supõe que as peças espelharam a realidade na qual se inseriam, mas que se colocam como uma instância singu-lar para se pensar as ambigui-dades e indefinições que fazem parte da esfera política da polis e do político como horizonte humano. Nesta invéstigação, primeiramente tenta-se situar o “emer-gir” político do trágico para, após, adentrar nos enredos de algumas das peças.

Published: June 2021

Here, we report the imidazolium-/pyrrolinium-substituted persistent zwitterionic ferrocenate derivatives, which were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Additional theoretical studies on these zwitterionic ferrocenate derivatives clearly explain the origin of their thermal stability and the orbital interactions between iron and imidazolium-/pyrrolinium-substituted zwitterionic cyclopentadienyl ligand. Exploiting the facile Fe(II/I) redox chemistry, we successfully demonstrated that the ferrocene derivative can be applied as an example of derivatized ferrocene anolyte for redox-flow batteries. These zwitterionic ferrocenate derivatives will not only deepen our understanding of the intrinsic chemistry of ferrocenate but have the potential to open the way for the rational design of metallocenate derivatives for various applications.
Towards a Framework for Evaluating and Reporting Hansen Solubility Parameters: Applications to Nano and Micron Scale Particle Dispersions
Authors: Bapat Shalmali , Kilian Stefan O. , Wiggers Hartmut , Segets Doris
Published: June 2021

A thorough understanding of complex interactions within particulate systems is a key for knowledge-based formulations. Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) are widely used to assess the compatibility of the dispersed phase with the continuous phase. At present, the determination of HSP is often based on a liquid ranking list obtained by evaluating a pertinent dispersion parameter using only one pre-selected characterization method. Furthermore, one cannot rule out the possibility of subjective judgment especially for liquids for which it is difficult to decipher the compatibility or underlying interactions. As a result, the end value of HSP might be of little or no information. To overcome these issues, we introduce a generalized technology-agnostic combinatorics-based approach. We discuss the principles of the approach and the implications of evaluating and reporting particle HSP values. We demonstrate the approach by using SiNx particles synthesized in the gas phase. We leverage the analytical centrifugation data to evaluate stability trajectories of SiNx dispersions in various liquids to deduce particle-liquid compatibility.

Published: June 2021

Despite recent advances in the development of machine learning potentials (MLPs) for biomolecular simulations, there has been limited effort in developing stable and accurate MLPs for enzymatic reactions. Here, we report a protocol for performing machine learning assisted free energy simulation of solution-phase and enzyme reactions at an ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (ai-QM/MM) level of accuracy. Within our protocol, the MLP is built to reproduce the ai-QM/MM energy as well as forces on both QM (reactive) and MM (solvent/enzyme) atoms. As an alternative strategy, a delta machine learning potential (DMLP) is trained to reproduce the differences between ai-QM/MM and semiempirical (se) QM/MM energy and forces. To account for the effect of the condensed–phase environment in both MLP and DMLP, the DeePMD representation of a molecular system is extended to incorporate external electrostatic potential and field on each QM atom. Using the Menshutkin and chorismate mutase reactions as examples, we show that the developed MLP and DMLP reproduce the ai-QM/MM energy and forces with an error on average less than 1.0 kcal/mol and 1.0 kcal/mol/Å for representative configurations along the reaction pathway. For both reactions, MLP/DMLP-based simulations yielded free energy profiles that differed by less than 1.0 kcal/mol from the reference ai-QM/MM results, but only at a fractional computational cost.
A Photolabile Fe Catalyst for Light-Triggered Alkyd Paint Curing
Authors: Bootsma Johan , Browne Wesley R , Flapper Jitte , de Bruin Bas
Published: June 2021

In search for cobalt replacements for alkyd paint curing we show that the photo-active complex [(Cp)Fe(C6H6)]+ (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) acts as a latent catalytic drier that allows for photochemical control over the onset of curing, without the need for anti-skinning agents such as the volatile MEKO normally used to prevent curing during paint storage. The highly soluble neutral complex [(Cp)Fe(Ch)] (Ch = cyclohexadienyl) readily converts to the photo-active complex [(Cp)Fe(C6H6)]+ upon oxidation in alkyd, allowing the latter to be dosed in a wide range of concentrations. Infrared and Raman studies show similar spectral changes of the alkyd paint matrix as have been observed in alkyd curing mediated by the known commercial cobalt- and manganese-based driers Durham NUODEX® Cobalt 10 Neo and NUODEX® DryCoat. The new [(Cp)Fe(Ch)] / [(Cp)Fe(C6H6)]+ system performs equally well as both commercial paint driers in terms of drying time, and outperforms NUODEX® DryCoat by showing a hardness development (increase) similar to the cobalt-based drier. Based on an observed light-dark on/off effect and EPR studies we propose that photolysis of [(Cp)Fe(C6H6)]+ generates short-lived active FeII species, explaining the excellent latency. The novel alkyd curing system [(Cp)Fe(Ch)] / [(Cp)Fe(C6H6)]+ presented herein is the first example of an intrinsically latent paint curing catalyst that is: (1) based on an abundant and harmless transition metal (Fe), (2) doesn’t require any anti-skinning agents, and (3) shows excellent performance in terms of drying times and hardness development.

Published: June 2021

In this work, we have modeled a fundamental part of the defense mechanism of Cyanobacteria against damaging effects of excess light conditions. This mechanism is part of the photoactivation cycle in the Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP), which involves the separation of protein domains triggered by chromophore translocation. Using carefully designed metadynamics simulations, we have discovered the structural rearrangements along an energetically favorable pathway to the activated state. The structural rearrangement of OCP along its activation path has been a long-standing question, only answered now by our work.

Variability of amphidromous organism isotopic niches in three Guadeloupe rivers affected by damming and water catchment

Published: June 2021

Native fauna of the tropical volcanic part of Guadeloupe is amphidromous: juveniles born in rivers but that grow in the sea need to migrate upstream to colonise their adult habitat in rivers. This migration is affected by any human-made obstacles placed in their way. Moreover, on volcanic tropical islands, streams are the main source of water catchment for the human population. This deeply affects river hydrology and characteristics. Both damming and water catchment potentially affect community diversity and species demography, but they may also alter the trophic ecology of the river fauna. Using stable isotopes and the stable isotope Bayesian ellipses approach in R (SIBER), this study aimed to assess the isotopic niche variability of riverine fauna of three persistent small rivers of Basse-Terre Island (Guadeloupe) affected by damming and water catchment. Using electrofishing, decapods and fishes (gobies) of three rivers were sampled upstream and downstream of dams. Our results demonstrated that the variability of the isotopic niches was extremely high between rivers but varied less between stations of the same river. Our results revealed complex and river-specific effects and a pattern merged with natural variability. Our two hypotheses (i.e., increase of resources upstream of dams and differential responses of trophic guilds to damming and water catchment) were only weakly supported and never in an unambiguous manner. Our study showed that it is necessary to consider the ‘noise’ generated by natural variability to observe and understand changes in the trophic ecology of associated fauna in relation to damming and water catchment.

Published: June 2021

Peroxisomes are recognized as significant platforms for the activation of antiviral innate immunity where stimulation of the key adapter molecule mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) within the RIG-I like receptor (RLR) pathway culminates in the up-regulation of hundreds of ISGs, some of which drive augmentation of multiple innate sensing pathways. However, whether ISGs can augment peroxisome-driven RLR signaling is currently unknown. Using a proteomics-based screening approach, we identified Pex19 as a binding partner of the ISG viperin. Viperin colocalized with numerous peroxisomal proteins and its interaction with Pex19 was in close association with lipid droplets, another emerging innate signaling platform. Augmentation of the RLR pathway by viperin was lost when Pex19 expression was reduced. Expression of organelle-specific MAVS demonstrated that viperin requires both mitochondria and peroxisome MAVS for optimal induction of IFN-β. These results suggest that viperin is required to enhance the antiviral cellular response with a possible role to position the peroxisome at the mitochondrial/MAM MAVS signaling synapse, furthering our understanding of the importance of multiple organelles driving the innate immune response against viral infection.
Bishop Innokenty (Nerunovich): Mission Impossible…
Authors:   Institute of Russian History RAS, Yurganova I. I.
Published: June 2021

The article considers the activity of the second Irkutsk diocesan bishop-Bishop Innokenty (Nerunovich), who headed the diocese in 1733–1747, which received various assessments. It is proved that the initial aspirations of the bishop, characterized by the draft program for the Christianization of the indigenous population of Eastern Siberia, remained largely unfulfilled, including due to conflicts with the local secular authorities. Denounced by the highest church authority, Bishop Innokenty failed or did not want to understand and accept the specifics of Siberian identification, which represents a polyphony of multilingual and diverse peoples, alien norms and traditions of Christianity, the bishop's unwillingness to compromise, disregard for the realities of Siberian reality, and harsh measures against representatives of merchants and clergy led to isolation in local society. It is concluded that the drama of Nerunovich consisted in his unconditional affirmation of traditional Orthodoxy, without taking into account the surrounding mentality, and made the mission of spiritual care and guidance of the East Siberian flock impossible. Along with this, the bishop's work on the Christianization of the non-Russian population left a mark on the history of Siberian Orthodoxy.

The missionary activity of the Russian Orthodox Church was of great importance for the socio-cultural development of the outskirts of the Russian Empire. The purpose of the work is to consider the educational and educational activities of the Russian Orthodox Church in Siberia on the example of the Altai Ecclesiastical Mission, which operated on the territory of modern Mounting Altai and Mounting Shoria. The article discusses the process of creating mission schools, the specifics of their activities. The basis of the mission's educational activities was the understanding that schools are the most effective way to spread Christian teaching and education. Because of this, large financial resources were allocated for the development of schools. It was common practice to attract merchants to finance the construction and equipment of school buildings. The opening of schools and the education of aboriginal children in them sometimes met with resistance from the local population. Altai missionaries contributed to the formation of the national culture of the inhabitants of Altai and Mounting Shoria. The activities of the Altai Ecclesiastical Mission influenced the formation of the Altai intelligentsia. The first representatives of the national intelligentsia of the Altai Mountains (teachers, writers, artists, doctors) were almost all either students of mission schools, children of foreign missionaries, or employees of the mission. The missionary and educational activities of the Altai Ecclesiastical Mission consistently achieved its main goal – the rebirth of the pagan way of thinking of foreigners, the formation as individuals of entire generations in the bosom of the Orthodox Church. The educational nature of the activities of the Altai Spiritual Mission contributed to the birth of a new culture: the spread of sedentary life, literacy of the local population.

Evidence-based recovery strategies in futsal
Authors: Nemčić Tihana , Calleja-González Julio
Published: June 2021

Futsal (FT) can be defined as a multiple sprint sport with intermittent high-intensity activities. It could be considered one of the most demanding team sports due to the FT player’s heart rate mean of approximately 90%, work to rest ratio of 1:1 and activity
changes every three seconds. Besides, unlimited number of substitutions, size of the pitch, a smaller ball and constant proximity of the opponent that puts extremely high demands on FT players are the main characteristics of the game. With studies reporting that participating in a FT match provokes muscle damages and inflammations, with a high injury incidence, it is of vital necessity to examine the most efficient methods providing fast recovery of FT players between practice sessions and matches played. Research studies focused on recovery methods in other team sports such as basketball, volleyball, and rugby, among others, reported benefits of passive recovery (massage, water therapy, stretching), active recovery and nutritional techniques. However, for the best of the authors’ knowledge, a limited number of recovery methods has been provided for the game of FT. The most effective recovery methods for FT players are only found to be photobiomodulation therapy and optimal sleeping regimen. Thereby, the main aim of the current narrative review is to present available scientific literature of recovery methods that may have positive effects on FT
players.

Plant diversity varies immensely over large-scale gradients in temperature, precipitation, and seasonality at global and regional scales. This relationship may be driven in part by climatic variation in the relative importance of abiotic and biotic interactions to the diversity and composition of plant communities. In particular, biotic interactions may become stronger and more host specific with increasing precipitation and temperature, resulting in greater plant species richness in wetter and warmer environments. This hypothesis predicts that the many defensive compounds found in plants’ metabolomes should increase in richness and decrease in interspecific similarity with precipitation, temperature, and plant diversity. To test this prediction, we compared patterns of chemical and morphological trait diversity of 140 woody plant species among seven temperate forests in North America representing 16.2°C variation in mean annual temperature (MAT), 2,115 mm variation in mean annual precipitation (MAP), and from 10 to 68 co-occurring species. We used untargeted metabolomics methods based on data generated with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to identify, classify, and compare 13,480 unique foliar metabolites and to quantify the metabolomic similarity of species in each community with respect to the whole metabolome and each of five broad classes of metabolites. In addition, we compiled morphological trait data from existing databases and field surveys for three commonly measured traits (specific leaf area [SLA], wood density, and seed mass) for comparison with foliar metabolomes. We found that chemical defense strategies and growth and allocation strategies reflected by these traits largely represented orthogonal axes of variation. In addition, functional dispersion of SLA increased with MAP, whereas functional richness of wood density and seed mass increased with MAT. In contrast, chemical similarity of co-occurring species decreased with both MAT and MAP, and metabolite richness increased with MAT. Variation in metabolite richness among communities was positively correlated with species richness, but variation in mean chemical similarity was not. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that plant metabolomes play a more important role in community assembly in wetter and warmer climates, even at temperate latitudes, and suggest that metabolomic traits can provide unique insight to studies of trait-based community assembly.

Clarice Lispector’un Yaşam Suyu’nda öznenin silinişi ve dilin imkansizliği
Authors: AYDINALP Esra Başak
Published: June 2021

Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) Latin Amerika Edebiyatının (Brezilya) en önemli edebi figürlerinden biridir. Eserleri dişil öznelliğin, varoluşsal sorgulamanın ve modern çağda bireyin anlam duraklarının dilde hem yitirilişinin hem de inşasının nüvelerini taşır. Kendine has üslubu ile modern anlatı geleneği içine adını yazdırmakla birlikte klasik edebi formların bütünüyle dışındadır. O yaşamak deneyimini yazıya yaklaştırma gayesiyle yazar. Bu bağlamda eserleri yaşamsal olduğu kadar, düşsel ve kurgusal unsurları bir arada barındırır. Bütün bu öğeler Lispector’da yazı kavşağında belirir. Yazmak onun nezdinde yaşamak kadar elzemdir. Bu gereklilik içinde Lispector yaşamı yazıya ve dile hapseden klasik yazı anlayışından uzaklaşır ve yaşamı yazı ile mümkün kılarken anlamın dilde yitirilişine ve imkansızlığına, öznenin baskın konumuna meydan okur. Bu bağlamda bu araştırmada amaç Lispector’un 1973 yılında kaleme aldığı Yaşam Suyu adlı eserinde dilin imkansızlığını ve öznenin silinişinin dilsel olanaklarını tartışmaktır. Bunu yaparken araştırmacı, her ne kadar Lispector herhangi bir kuramı baz alarak yazmamış olsa da onun yapıtlarında postyapısalcı unsurların izini sürecek ve yapısöküm anlayışı ile Lispector’da yazıya yansıyan öznenin ve dilin olanaksızlığını ortaya koymaya çalışacaktır. Bu bağlamda yazarın kullandığı özgün teknik detaylıca incelenecek ve Lispector’un şiirsel yazı tekniği, düz anlatının sınırlarını mütemadiyen zorlayan, dili; dilsel ve kurgusal düzlemde bir hapishane gibi algılayan yazı anlayışını aşarak dilin imkansızlığı ve öznenin yazıdan silinişi stratejilerini/olgularını betimleyecektir. Bu nedenle bu araştırmada, Clarice Lispector’un Aqua Viva (Yaşam Suyu) adlı eserinde öznelliğin izleri takip edilerek özünde her zaman “baskın” olan öznenin ve “ben’in” yazının anlamsal duraklarında silinişi ortaya koyulacak ve Lispector metninin kendisini yineleyen, yenileyen dilin tüm sınır uçları ve olanaklarını zorlayan nitelikleri incelenecektir.

İnsanoğlu var olduğu günden itibaren bağlı bulunduğu toplumdaki konumunu bulma arayışı içerisindedir. Kendini bulma arayışı mensup olduğu toplumun iç dinamiklerine uygun olarak farklılık gösterebilir, fakat temelde buluşulan nokta yeryüzündeki her insan için ortak önem taşıyan bir yerdir. Bu bağlamda kendine özgü iç arayışlar içinde “yer altına” sığınan insan yaptığı sorgulamalarla ya yer altından çıkarak hayata karışır ya da bu düşünceler içerisinde hayat içerisinde kaybolur. F.M. Dostoyevskiy’nin “Yeraltından Notlar”, Hakan Tufan’ın “Kaybolan” eserleri, arayış içinde bulunan başkişilerin benzer hayat serüvenlerine sahip olmaları bakımından bağıntı içerisindedir. Başkişilerin içerisinde bulundukları hayat, hayata karşı bakışları, hayat karşısındaki tükenmişlikleri benzerlik ihtiva ettiği için yazarlar evrensel olarak aynilik teşkil eden konuyu kendi üsluplarınca, ait oldukları topluma göre işleyerek temelde aynı noktalarda buluşurlar. Bu yüzden çalışmamızın konusunu Yeraltı Adamı ve Hakan’ın hayat karşısında var olma serüveni karşısında takındıkları tavır ve bu tavrın benzer/farklı noktaları oluşturacaktır.

Saha çalışması kapsamında, beş öğrencinin oluşturduğu çeviri yorum yazıları ele alınmaktadır. Anlamlı öğrenme, keşfederek öğrenme, öz kontrol, öz yönetim, etik sorumluluk, bilişsel düşünme pratikleri, deklaratif ve prosedürel bilgi gibi kavramlar, araştırmanın kuramsal ve yöntemsel dayanaklarını oluşturmaktadır. İlgili öğrencilerin, ürettikleri çeviri yorum yazıları etrafında sergiledikleri (öz)düşünümsel performanslarında, sözü edilen bu kavramların izleri sürülmektedir. Ayrıca, bu yönde oluşturulan yansıtıcı rapor çalışmalarının, yeni medya çevirmeni konumundaki öğrencilerin (öz)düşünümsel farkındalıklarını geliştiriyor olmasının altı çizilmektedir.
A Comparative analysis of role perceptions and expectations of medical doctors and interpreters in healthcare settings
Authors: ŞENER ERKIRTAY Olcay , KINCAL Şeyda
Published: June 2021

It is a fact that interpreters act as important language facilitators by bridging the gaps between the parties. Especially Cecilia Wadensjö’s (1998) influential research on community interpreting presented a new perspective in which the interpreter started to be perceived as an active participant assuming different roles and having power during the interactions (Van de Mieeroop, 2012:1). Thus, various scholars started examining the interpreters as active participants. On the other hand, user expectations and perceptions are also among the key factors defining the role of the interpreter. With this purpose, this study attempts to explore, compare and contrast the role perceptions and expectations of medical doctors and healthcare interpreters in accordance with the expectancy norms and the professional norms, as part of an ongoing PhD thesis. The data analyzed in this paper were obtained from questionnaires submitted to 22 medical doctors working in private hospitals and clinics, and interviews conducted with 13 interpreters working in private hospitals in Turkey. Preliminary findings reveal that interpreters mostly meet the doctors’ expectations in terms of role. However, there are also certain aspects that diverge from this finding. The comparative analysis that this study aims to undertake is hoped to provide an insight into the conflicting views on perceptions and expectations that shape the healthcare interpreter’s role.
Student Perceptions of Instructional Delivery Methods Utilizing Various Teaching Modalities in an Integrated Lab Curriculum
Authors: Kolegraff Stacy , Cleary Joseph , Kline Andrew
Published: June 2021

This paper discusses students’ perspectives about the instructional delivery methods they preferred and found effective in four courses at a major university. Different teaching modalities were used, including asynchronous course delivery and a hybrid format which utilized synchronous virtual meetings for lectures and in-person face-to-face hands-on building activities. A survey was conducted, and results indicated that students both preferred and found most effective hands-on and lab activities over all other methods. The results of the student surveys are presented and discussed. The learning laboratories were designed to complement and enhance student learning in fundamentals, building information modeling, residential, and commercial construction courses, and provided opportunities for students to build and virtually design assemblies outside the classroom by applying knowledge first learned through reading and lecture. The laboratory exercises have been designed to reinforce course comprehension by combining them with additional instructional delivery methods allowing students to “learn by doing.” Each hands-on experiential exercise incorporated concepts learned in lecture (recorded or virtual); these exercises included hand drafting, virtual design, framing, exterior systems, door and window flashing and installation, and concrete. This information may assist educational programs that are interested in developing hand-on experiential laboratory exercises to enhance other course delivery methods.

McKinsey Global Institute (2017) in its report states that construction-related spending accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, but the sector’s annual productivity has only increased 1% over the past 20 years. As with all other industries, as years pass innovation is intended to increase and introduce much higher productivity levels and safer work environments. It has been more than a decade of BIM utilization in construction jobsites. The introduction of three-dimensional modeling was supposed to serve as the turning point regarding technology in construction, but have we truly seen the effective utilization of BIM in construction process? So, what are the roadblocks to a smoother transition from paper-based 2-D to electronic 3-D Models in construction job sites? Utilizing both a questionnaire survey and an in-depth interview technique, this study explored the reasons behind the slow adoption and apprehensions in adopting 3-D Models in construction projects. Ineffective and lack of training in BIM was found to be one of the reasons for less than slower adoption of the BIM in construction job sites.

Published: June 2021

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been utilized as an alternative medium to human workers in data collection processes in various industries. The capabilities of UAVs are now being extended from passive tasks of data collection to active tasks of interacting with the environment by equipping them with manipulators and robotic arms to function as Unmanned Aerial Manipulators (UAMs). Research on UAMs has been growing in the last few years. The applications of UAMs have been studied including sensor installation, inspections, door opening, valve turning, pick and drop, etc. for the oil and gas industry and civil applications. However, there is a lack of studies in understanding the potential applications of UAMs and their capabilities in construction and in augmenting construction activities. The goal of this research is to identify potential opportunities and challenges of the application of UAM in construction projects. The study undertakes a literature review followed by semi-structured interviews with industry experts to identify the potential areas for the UAM application and possible challenges towards the adoption of technology in the field. This study contributes to the introduction of a new research area in contact- based UAV-guided technologies in construction processes.
A Methodology to Align Student Learning Outcomes with Degree Program Curriculum using Priority Mapping and Coursework Hours
Authors: Bond Alan
Published: June 2021

Among the goals of the accreditation process are to ensure a high level of degree program quality to students and the public. One mandate of accreditation requires a process of continuous improvement based upon the collection, analysis, and resultant action plans of Student Learning Outcome (SLO) assessment data. Because degree programs have a limited number of curriculum hours available for degree-specific learning, an educational unit must determine how to efficiently utilize this resource for student success to demonstrate mastery of specific SLO skill sets. This paper outlines a methodology that includes ranking the SLO’s by priority, determining the number of classroom hours taught per SLO, and creating a comparative baseline of the alignment. Analyzing this data creates an opportunity for an educational unit to make data-driven decisions justifying future actions of curriculum changes and fulfills the continuous improvement requirement. The results of using this methodology identified multiple misalignments in SLO priority ranking versus the classroom hours taught, and corrective actions were taken. This successful outcome indicates that this methodology is a viable process to create a framework for analyzing current curriculum time commitments compared to the input of faculty and industry support members ranking the importance of various mandated skill sets.
