Training Architects as Activists: Social Sustainably in the Studio
Authors: De Wit-Paul Alissa
Published: August 2024

This paper discusses the application of social sustainability to architecture through a second-year graduate architecture studio focused on urban buildings. I designed the Urban Design Studio in such a way that future faculty could choose assignments between five socially sustainable equity issues: housing, food insecurity, transportation equity, access to opportunities, and environmental health. This supports the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) graduate curriculum by focusing on sustainable practices, including activism in architecture. Using the built environment as a platform, the students learn to promote equity, especially in the urban environment. The students research on equity topics, adopt a position on a selected issue, and begin to develop a site, program, and building form around their issue. Architecture has a unique ability to influence social sustainability through equity, especially if we shift our design practices to support disenfranchised populations. Buildings can provide more than social markers. They can create locations that empower local communities. The question is, how do we teach a process that instills this as foundational to quality design? My studio’s process not only establishes a foundational knowledge of building within an urban context, but also provides a firm grounding of activism as central to architectural practice.
The Use of GIS for Land Use Planning: Recommendations for PPGIS in the United States
Authors: Hugo Nichole , Viertel David
Published: August 2024

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) provide the ability to present multifaceted data in a clear and understandable manner, enabling various stakeholders to be informed and actively participate in discussions about future changes to land use. The use of GIS allows for the analysis of complex spatial and temporal data, aiding in community planning and development, resource conservation, and efficient land utilization. While GIS resources have become more accessible in recent years, land use planners in the US have not fully utilized this tool in regards to engaging the public and gaining their feedback in the planning process. In contrast, European countries like Finland and Poland continuously use PPGIS (Public Participation Geographic Information Systems) and publish their processes frequently. A literature review of PPGIS publications from 2015-2023 provides an overview of the limitations of PPGIS and the barriers for use, including lack of participation and limited funding. A review of the literature, as well as an analysis of the impact of the COVID pandemic, are used to determine best practices for incorporating PPGIS into land use planning processes in the US. Recommendations for improving the use of PPGIS in the US include utilizing training programs, active participation in community meetings, and using multiple methods to engage the public.

Authors: Van Leeuwen Anouschka , Post Lysanne , Lockhorst Ditte , Admiraal Wilfried , Kester Liesbeth
Published: August 2024

Teachers in secondary education have to deal with a growing diversity in student population, which asks for differentiation of their teaching. Computer-based assessments (CBA’s) are educational software tools that, for a particular school subject, allow students to practice their knowledge or skills, leading to results about students’ performance or ability level at that point in time. Information derived from CBA’s (known as learning analytics) has the potential to support teachers to differentiate by informing them of each student’s current level. In this study, our aim was to provide a typology of how and why teachers in secondary education use analytics, with the subsequent aim of providing recommendations for teacher professional development. Four profiles were found: high users, selective users, early stage users, and non-users. We provide recommendations for each of these profiles.

Authors: Dignam Christopher , Pennington Lisa K. , Daifallah Assma
Published: August 2024

This study examines interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary interconnections within STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics), the humanities, and their collective impacts on civilizations over time. This study includes a comprehensive overview of STEAM education and its integration with historical context and explores relationships beyond the acronym of STEAM itself, with an emphasis on STEAM advancements, the humanities, and digital citizenship for contemporary learners. The role of humanities in relation to STEAM is considered for delving into the historical background of robotics, the technological evolution from simple machines to complex tools for machine learning, engineering innovations during Industrial Revolutions, the Renaissance for creativity, and the Maker Movement for makerspaces in fostering innovation. The researchers consider how scientific, technological, engineering, and mathematical advancements have shaped societal development, as well as the historical roles of artistic expression on cultures. An analysis of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary connections among STEAM disciplines within historical contexts creates a holistic educational view of societal evolution. The researchers also reflect on the contemporary implications of historical STEAM developments, advocating for the integration of historical context into STEAM curricula – and STEAM curricula into the humanities – for cultivating critical thinking, creative thinking, and a deeper understanding of civilization's interconnectedness.
Examining the Effect of Problem-Based Learning Approach on Learners` Mathematical Creativity: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Bron Joseph F. , Prudente Maricar S.
Published: August 2024

Problem-based learning (PBL) is linked to developing learners` creative thinking in mathematics. This process-oriented approach capitalizes on using problems to stimulate learning through independent and collaborative investigations. This meta-analysis looked at the effectiveness of using PBL to influence mathematical creativity. Fifteen results from 13 studies were analyzed in which a medium effect (g=0.580) was computed using the random effects model. Further, the analysis of heterogeneity statistics suggests conducting a subgroup analysis in which only the strategy used in the comparison group and educational level, among the identified characteristics, moderates the effect of PBL on mathematical creativity. Future research should expand geographically to encompass a more diverse educational landscape and include a broader demographic to validate the efficacy of PBL across different age groups and cultural contexts.

Authors: Rodrigues de Oliveira Bruno , Aparecido Queiroz Duarte Marco , Lustosa Sobrinho Renato
Published: August 2024

The selection of forage grasses that are more adapted to adverse conditions, such as water scarcity or dry rain periods, is extremely important. Mainly due to the severe climate changes, and the search for more sustainable ways of farming. Forage grasses form the basis of the diet of beef cattle and are also used as a source of biofuels, for erosion control and soil improvement. This work presents a machine learning methodology to obtain classification models for nine forage cultivars, subject to moderate and severe water stress. The Naïve Bayes algorithm is used together with the Kernel Density Estimation method to obtain the densities used in the classification models. Before learning the models, the grouped cross-validation technique and also the grid search are used to search for the best set of hyperparameters. The best accuracy and precision results are 0.88 and 0.90, respectively. It is observed that the classification performance depends on the cultivars used in the training and test sets. At the end, the estimated probability densities are also analyzed by comparing them with some statistics obtained for each variable and water stress or control environments.

This paper sheds new light on the question of how to build a tax model for online advertising and digital companies. Policy measures to tax transnational companies, including digital companies, should be based not only on the question of where and how much value is generated, but also on the question of who generates how much value. The legal definition of ‘digital permanent enterprise’ used in the context of online company taxation should be built on the understanding that only human labor creates the economic value of commodities. To counter the dominance of non-profit monopoly platforms on the Internet, the creation of public Internet services is a viable policy option. Introducing an online advertising tax is an ideal financial foundation to support the creation of public service Internet platforms and civil society Internet platforms.

Legal interpretation plays a crucial role in legal studies and legal practice, many legal experts still do not agree on the presence of interpretation science in the position of legal discipline studies. Especially Indonesia which adheres to a positive legal system, so that the emergence of legal interpretation in society becomes a pro-contra discussion. This interpretation model is a serious challenge in judicial practice because it is related to serious problems related to analytical jurisprudence, how in judicial practice judges are played in making decisions not based on written legal provisions or positive law. Ronald Dworkin is a legal philosopher who is very involved in the issue of interpretation models, which makes Dworkin distance positivism by criticizing it as a standard rule. However, assessing the theory of the legal system presented by Dworkin actually in judicial practice has a value of benefit for those seeking justice and legal certainty, so that some judges in Indonesia also use interpretation in making decisions related to legal vacuum or legal uncertainty.

Non-communicable diseases like diabetes and hypertension are highly prevalent and make a substantive contribution to the global burden of morbidity and mortality in both developing and developed countries. Because lifestyle behaviors have been shown to be effective in preventing and treating several types of diseases that can ultimately lead to a high prevalence of morbidity and mortality, several widely accepted treatment guidelines for specific diseases include lifestyle modification strategies. We aim to identify the suspected cases of Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension & the risk factors among screened participants. We found 18% of them were found to be suspected as diabetics and 5% of them were suspected to be hypertension. We observed statistically significant association with risk factors between both the known cases and suspected cases of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Screening programs can strengthen healthcare system initiatives and reduce the growing burden of both diabetes and hypertension in India.

Ecologia na mídia: como reduzir a distância entre a ciência e a imprensa
Authors:   , Nepomuceno Tatiana Pires
Published: August 2024

Existe uma distância que separa as pesquisas, desenvolvidas na ecologia, da mídia, e, como consequência, a ciência ecológica da sociedade. Os efeitos deste são ainda mais nefastos quando consideramos a crise ecológica crescente e seus impactos socioeconômicos, políticos e na saúde humana. Quando relacionamos estes efeitos frente ao contexto atual de ataques continuados à ciência, em especial pela crescente disseminação de notícias falsas pelas redes sociais, é imperativo que se investigue os obstáculos à difusão científica desde o fazer ciência até a publicação na mídia. Afinal, embora as questões relacionadas ao meio ambiente sejam descobertas pelos cientistas, é a imprensa quem geralmente desempenha o papel na distribuição destas informações à sociedade. A porta de entrada entre os programas de pós-graduação em ecologia (PPG-Ecos) e mídia perpassa por sua Assessoria de Imprensa e, neste contexto, a Comunicação Organizacional estabelecida por um trabalho integrado entre a Assessoria de Imprensa (AI) da instituição, os PPG-Ecos e a mídia exercerão um papel fundamental para aproximar a ciência ecológica da sociedade. Neste trabalho, procuramos compreender os obstáculos à difusão científica, desde o fazer ciência até a publicação na mídia, com foco em ecologia. Nos propusemos a testar dois conjuntos complementares, não excludentes, de hipóteses explicativas: H1: há falhas na comunicação entre as AIs e a imprensa e H2: há falhas na comunicação entre cientistas e suas respectivas Assessorias de Imprensa. Nossos resultados mostraram que os critérios de abrangência (p=0,9586) e uso de linguagem técnica (p=0,3074) não apresentaram influência no aproveitamento dos releases publicados pelas AIs na imprensa. (H1). No entanto, verificamos uma influência positiva do critério relevância de impacto atual ou futuro (p=0,0255). Também identificamos que existe uma falha na comunicação entre PPG-Eco e AI (H2) que dificulta que a produção acadêmico-científica para a imprensa. Portanto, concluímos que mais do que incluir nos releases o critério de impacto atual ou futuro, é necessário criar meios de fomentar o diálogo e comunicação entre PPG-Eco e Assessoria de Imprensa.
