Art-based References in Architecture
Authors: Virág Anett , Nagy Márton
Published: July 2023

The conditions affecting architectural form are changing more rapidly and radically today. There is no longer a consistent canon nor a uniform guideline to follow. However, technological achievements offer more opportunities for architects; the buildings are isolated from their surroundings and become formulaic objects. Due to the increasing impersonality of globalized construction, the search for alignment points that help the integrity of architectural works has lost its importance.This research examines those creators and their design methods who reject global trends and try to renew the emptiness of modernism. This paper has collected and analyzed alternative attempts, rich in multi-layered readings, emphasizing the value of the given place. These directions, seeking a connection to culture, history, and art, attempt to identify new points of alignment. How can these cultural elements become a guideline for the design process? How can they liberate formulaic modernity in crisis?This essay explores the answers through a conversation with Adam Caruso. The architect's writings, teaching, and design practice are unavoidable among contemporary architects who represent a critical attitude towards the impersonality of construction and promote the importance of cultural embeddedness. The practice of his office – founded with Peter St John – is fascinating because, in addition to examples from the history of architecture, they also use art-based references to find relevant architectural answers that reflect today's problems. The conversation reveals how we can integrate art-based references into architectural creation and education.

Данная работа посвящена построению аналитического решения задачи о распространении нестационарных волн в тонкой анизотропной пластине большой протяженности. Подход к решению основан на принципе суперпозиции и методе функций Грина. Его суть заключается в связи искомого решения с нагрузкой при помощи интегрального оператора типа свёртки по пространственным переменным и по времени. Ядром этого оператора является функция Грина для анизотропной пластины. Она представляет собой нормальные перемещения в ответ на воздействие единичной сосредоточенной нагрузки. Для математического описания сосредоточенной нагрузки используется дельта-функция Дирака. Пространственные нестационарные функции Грина для анизотропной пластины Тимошенко построены впервые с помощью аналитических методов. В качестве модели анизотропного материала рассматривается упругая среда с единственной плоскостью симметрии, геометрически совпадающей со срединной плоскостью пластины. Движение пластины рассмотрено в декартовой системе координат. В начальный момент времени пластина находится в невозмущенном состоянии. Для решения использованы интегральные преобразования Лапласа по времени и двумерное интегральное преобразование Фурье по координатам. Оригиналы искомых функции по Лапласу построены при помощи второй теоремы разложения для преобразования Лапласа. Оригиналы по Фурье построены с помощью связи интеграла обращения преобразования Фурье с рядом Фурье на переменном интервале. Полученные функции Грина позволили представить искомый нестационарный прогиб и углы поворота в виде тройных сверток функций Грина с функцией нестационарной нагрузки. Для вычисления интеграла свёртки и построения искомого решения использован метод прямоугольников. Результаты решения представлены графически.

Authors: Hameed Raghdah Maytham , Najim Abood Haidar Abdul Amir , Al-Hasnawy Huda H
Published: July 2023

Backgrounds: Interleukin 4 (IL 4) is a cytokine associated with the cause of several allergic diseases such as asthma due to their function in the differentiation of T helper type 2 lymphocytes and induction of the IgE isotype switch.
Object: The study aims to determine the association IL-4 level with total serum IgE levels and asthma severity. Methods: A cross-section study was performed. Eighty-seven subjects were recruited from Karbala Teaching Hospital for Children in the period extending from January 25 to May 24, 2022, including children with asthma, were subjected to measure IL 4 level using Elabscience ELISA kit and measured total IgE level using AccuBind IgE ELISA kit.
Results: Eighty-seven subjects of asthmatic children in which the mean age was 7.833 ± 3.652. There are 65.52% and 34.48% of asthmatic children (male and female, respectively). Total serum IgE was 398.889 ± 227.156 IU/ml, while the IL-4 level was 5.18 ± 8.224. There was a significant difference in IL 4 levels depending on asthma severity (P= 0.037). IL-4 levels in severe persistent asthma were higher than IL-4 levels in mild and moderate persistent asthma. Further, there was a highly significant difference in IL 4 levels depending on asthma controlled (P= 0.004). IL-4 levels in not well-controlled asthma were higher than IL-4 levels in well and partial controlled asthma. In addition, there was no significant correlation between IL-4 levels and total serum IgE levels (P=0.436).
Conclusion: IL 4 has an important role in predicting asthma severity and asthma control in children. These findings have important implications for the treatment of IgE-mediated asthma. Despite this, IL 4 levels have no significant correlation with total serum IgE levels.

Background: Snakebite envenoming is a global health problem, mostly in tropical and subtropical countries. Bangladesh is a subtropical country facing thousands of snakebite envenoming death every year. Knowledge of the distribution of venomous snakes is necessary to identify snakebite-prone areas, develop strategies for prevention and management, and reduce venom-induced mortalities and morbidities.
Methods: An integrated effort of direct observations of snakes, qualitative analysis of museum specimen records, clinical records of snakebites, and scholarly literature records were used to understand the pattern of distribution of venomous snakes in Bangladesh.
Results: We enlist 65 venomous snake species from Bangladesh and present detailed documentation on their distribution pattern. However, only nine species were considered medically relevant species because of their venom potentiality to kill humans and available clinical records of envenomation. The distribution pattern of those species divides the country into two major portions. A portion consists of northern, northwestern, and western parts of the country, which are habitats of Naja naja, Bungarus caeruleus, and B. lividus. Another portion comprised of the northeastern, southeastern, and southern parts of the country provides habitats for N. kaouthia, B. niger, and Trimeresurus erythrurus. However, Daboia. russelii had a different distribution pattern along the bank of the Padma and Meghna, and some coastal districts. Moreover, B. walli had a scattered distribution over the country. The knowledge of this ecological distribution of venomous snakes across the country bears a significant practical effect on clinical management of snakebite. Treating physicians can have a better understanding of possible offending snake species using this knowledge and the clinical syndromes produced by venoms.
Conclusion: Pattern of distribution of medically relevant venomous snakes in Bangladesh approaches to initiate concise and specific bite management strategies for two distinct distributional regions of the country. Moreover, the distribution of D. russelii and B. walli demands specific strategies for bite management.

HOW E-LEARNING PROGRAMS CAN BE MORE INDIVIDUALIZED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – A THEORETICAL APPROACH FROM A PEDAGOGICAL POINT OF VIEW
Authors: ROHDE NELE , FLINDT NICOLE , RIETZ CHRISTIAN , K. KASSYMOVA GULZHAINA
Published: July 2023

Countless e-learning programs have been developed over the last few years. Learning opportunities supported by technology have become widespread in educational contexts, and many people rely on the Internet to continue their education in personal, professional, or school contexts. Findings indicate that recently developed e-learning programs are built on modern digital tools but need more purposeful content and a different focus than traditional learning scenarios. These observations raise whether online learning features are optimal extensions to traditional in-person, in-class teaching.This article focuses on how to optimize an e-learning program with the development of a query builder based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that leverages the know-how of pedagogical experts to incorporate pedagogical learning methods effectively. For this reason, different definitions of e-learning and traditional learning theories, e.g., behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism, will be analyzed to help derive theory ideas for an EU-funded project called “Young Refugees AI Student Empowerment Program.” Finally, the article will show some first technical results of implementation integrated into the project. Because of the project's target group, the needs, motives, and requirements of migrants and refugees will also be analyzed, and into the ideas for implementation included.

Published: July 2023

Child adoption has been a long practiced among societies since ancient times. It was legally recognized in the world with its legal provisions. Muslims have also adopted children in contrast to Islamic guidelines and regulations suggesting alternatives. This research article examines the child-adopting practice among Muslim families in the Ampara district of Eastern Sri Lanka. This study was based on data analysis obtained through interviews with 50 such families and ten scholars and activists of this region. In the interview, certain aspects are covered and it takes about 15 minutes for each interview. The findings demonstrate that infertility and its consequence of social and psychological problems reflected in domestic violence are the prime contexts for child adoption. Furthermore, social and cultural patterns of this region have given female children more preference in child adaptation. This study provides awareness to concerned parties and decision-makers.

Published: July 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the lives of people across the world, including adolescents who were required to stay at home during the lockdown period. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of binge-watching behavior among adolescents during the Covid-19 lockdown and to explore its association with perceived stress. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 239 adolescents aged between 15 and 19 years in a selected region using a self-administered online questionnaire. The results revealed that binge-watching behavior was prevalent among adolescents, with nearly 70% of the participants reporting that they had engaged in binge-watching during the lockdown period. The findings also showed a significant positive association between binge-watching behavior and perceived stress among the adolescents. Moreover, the study found that the duration of binge-watching, the frequency of binge-watching, and the types of programs watched during binge-watching were significantly associated with perceived stress. These findings highlight the need for appropriate interventions to address the negative impact of binge-watching on the mental health of adolescents during the Covid-19 lockdown.
A Radiation Levels Measurement at Workplace of Cyclotron-PET/CT Facilities (in Karachi) using TLD Dosimeters
Authors: Perveen Kauser , Mohsin Ayesha , Nadeem Hira , Ali Syed Mishkat , Hussain Khalid
Published: July 2023

Cyclotron is the most widely used proton particle accelerator for production of short lived radionuclides particularly F-18 for diagnostic purpose in oncology imaging. Currently, only Fluorine [F-18] is being produced in Pakistan. F-18 is tagged with glucose analogue and converted into [18F] FDG (Fluorodeoxyglucose) by synthesis process. [18F] FDG emits positron and, via annihilation process, produces two gamma photons of 511keV energy, which is of great concern for occupational safety. Therefore, a study was carried out to assess the dose incurred by radiation workers working in controlled and supervised areas of cyclotron facility.

In this study, the ten (10) calibrated Thermoluminescene dosimeters (TLD-100) were annealed and placed in different locations of four Cyclotron-PET/CT facilities for determination of dose in work area. In the selected cyclotron facilities, one out of four was unshielded cyclotron and other three were self-shielded. Ten (10) TLDs were placed in preselected controlled and supervised areas of facilities for the duration of 30 days. After four weeks of exposure, TLDs were removed and assessed on TLD reader for dose evaluation.

The evaluated results of radiation levels from TLDs are in good agreement with the criteria for classification of areas as defined in Regulations on Radiation Protection (PAK/904). The measured doses of work area are well below the defined regulatory dose limits for controlled area (>6mSv/yr) as well as supervised area (>1mSv/yr) except in case of unshielded cyclotron vault. It is concluded that the facilities have implemented the requirement 27 of PNRA Regulations on Radiation Protection (PAK/904) and also have established strong radiation safety measures for minimization of occupational exposure.

Authors: Ahmad Sareer , Kashif Main Said , Alam Jehangeer , Ghani Abdul , Irfan Muhammad
Published: July 2023

Investigating with rapid population growth and urban sprawl, unregulated municipal waste (MSW) poses a threat to public health and environmental safety. In this study, we examine its performance, cure, and physiological features and evaluate the potential of MSW as a renewable energy source in the Bannu region. Depending on the average generation of MSW generation (e.g. 0.439 kg/capita/day), the daily production of MSW in the city can reach up to 2000 tons/day. However, its safe construction is prohibited directly to a lack of (a) past planning, (b) public services, (c) political determination, and (d) public understanding. Various MSW samples were collected for social and economic construction. Body parts of MSW in Bannu are declining through decaying material, plastic bags of nylon, cloth, nappy and paper. A close assessment of this MSW was performed along with its temperature values. The maximum temperature range for MSW is estimated at 13369.935 kJ / kg. The power output of 44.29 MW is continuously tested from 2000 tons of MSW / day. The consequences of this study should help policymakers develop a management strategy for MSW for renewable power.
Role of Logistics and Transport Sector in Globalization: Evidence from Developed and Developing Economies
Authors: Muhammad Ejaz  , Ayesha Naz
Published: July 2023

This study identifies the influence of transportation sector in driving the process of globalization across globe. Various studies have theoretically described this factor but literature has yet to come up with some empirical findings to recognize its role as a cause of globalization. Hence, present study has proposed a systematic theoretical framework by taking into account three modes of transportation including air, rail and marine to establish their relationship to globalization over the period of 1995 to 2020.  Cointegration results validate long run association between globalization and the modes of transportation. Further, generalized method of moments (GMM) estimates is applied by dividing the data into three regions.  The data of 109 developed and developing countries shows that all the three modes of transportation are significant in shaping the process of globalization worldwide. In case of 77 developing countries, rail and marine transport are significant while in 32 developed countries only marine transport is appeared to be a significant contributor in formulating the trend of globalization. It is important to note that the role of marine transport is more influential in determining the intensity, expansion and improvement of global networks.
More Education of Juvenile Offenders In Sentences Of Imprisonment: A Reform And Justification Approach As A Consequence Of Niklas Luhmann's Systems Theory
Authors: Storck Wolfgang
Published: July 2023

Background: In order to meet the demands of contemporary society, German juvenile criminal law needs a necessary reform. Consequently, this article proposes the reintroduction of indeterminate sentencing as an instrument for an overall social benefit to this need for reform and to counter the existing determinate sentencing system in place today. This specific sentencing system is understood to be the current guideline and norm currently implemented. According to Luhmann's systems theory, this contradicts the diversity of societies and the unique individuality of each member within them. In this perspective, individuals have the right to assert their rights and define their norms as long as they do not break the law or commit a criminal offence.
Methods: The discussion surrounding indeterminate sentencing reached its conclusion in the late 1990s, so a lack of scientific research exists. However, considering the societal transformation and development of the younger generation, the reintroduction of indeterminate sentencing seems opportune. Niklas Luhmann’s flexible systems theory from the 1980 s is well suited to support this reintroduction. Based on a relevant literature review and the development of tightening in German juvenile law, this article adopts an analytical approach supported by social, legal and political research. It provides a framework elucidating the reasons and the appropriate form for reintroduc ing indeterminate sentencing as a useful method to increase resocialis ation among the youth . This framework includes practical approaches such as combining education, professional training and social education, all aimed at implementing a rehabilitative approach within the juvenile justice system, similar to the original law that was abandoned.
Results and Conclusions: If this occurs, the indeterminate sentence allows for a more individualised approach, establishing an individual-oriented minimum sentence while maintaining a maximum duration. Thus, it aligns with Luhmann's flexible systems theory approach and proves relevant to the current circumstances of the youth generation. Such an approach offers greater benefits by emphasising the integration of education within the prison sentence for resocialisation, surpassing the capabilities of the current determinate sentencing in juvenile criminal law.
The actual recidivism rates average between 25% and 30% depending on the sentence. With an education-focused approach adjusted to the juvenile offender , coupled with a realistic future- oriented education system in and after the sentence, the process of resocialis ation stands a better chance of success . Although the research on this topic is in its early stages, this approach serves as an initial step towards instigating the necessary reform within juvenile law.
The Role of Legal Certainty Principle in Provision of Access to Justice in Ukraine in Wartime
Authors: Ostapenko Hanna
Published: July 2023

Background: The paper offers the analysis of implementation of legal certainty principle and access to justice in Ukraine. Both are regarded in connection to the rule of law principle; their coordination is shown in cases when the application of rule of law is required to patch the holes of imperfect judicial system facing the challenges of the ongoing war.
Methods: The methods of legal reasoning and analysis are used to present the main approaches to legal certainty principle as well as to the access to justice. Additionally, with the help of comparative method their meaning and influence on the legal practice are established. The method of analogy is used to predict the possible solutions in order to improve access to justice in Ukraine.
Results and Conclusions: Legal certainty is an element of the rule of law, it provides predictability in legal regulation, the clarity of legal norms, and demands the propriate way of legal acts enforcement as well as prohibits retroactivity. It challenges respect to the legitimate expectations and provides stability in legal regulation. The improvement in the application of the right to access to justice is beneficial for the legal certainty and vice versa. When legal certainty is violated due to the gap in legislation, unclarity of legal norms or controversy of legislative provisions and violated rights of the claimant could be restored, if the right of access to court is fully guaranteed. It is stated that res judicata, a requirement for legal certainty is a demand that is also common to access to justice.

Published: July 2023

El entendimiento de las dinámicas de orientan el consumo de productos verdes es fundamental para el fomento de la sostenibilidad de un país. El objetivo de esta investigación es entender el comportamiento de los consumidores en Ecuador en relación con el mercado de productos orgánicos. Para lograrlo, se ha creado un modelo teórico que combina la teoría del comportamiento planificado con la teoría de activación de normas. Se ha utilizado la técnica de los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales con el enfoque en los mínimos cuadrados parciales (SEM-PLS) para analizar los resultados obtenidos. Los hallazgos indican que las normas personales son el factor principal que influye en la intención de compra, mientras que el control percibido y las normas subjetivas no tienen un impacto significativo, probablemente debido a la influencia de las normas personales. Aunque la varianza explicada de las variables endógenas es baja, se sugiere que futuras investigaciones podrían expandir el marco teórico para incluir otros aspectos relacionados con la personalidad del consumidor.

El trabajo social es esencial en la lucha contra la violencia intrafamiliar, ya que su enfoque en el bienestar humano y la justicia social permite abordar las causas subyacentes de este tipo de violencia. Los trabajadores sociales pueden identificar y atender a las víctimas, proporcionar orientación y apoyo, y promover la prevención y la resolución pacífica de conflictos en los hogares, lo que contribuye a una sociedad más justa y pacífica. El objetivo de la presente investigación es verificar la correlación que existe entre las dos variables, con el fin de formular estrategias que disminuyan los casos de violencia intrafamiliar en la población de estudio, a través de una gestión eficiente por parte del trabajador social. La metodología que se aplicó fue cuantitativa de alcance correlacional. La población correspondió a las 25 familias que forman parte del programa. Entre las principales conclusiones se tiene que, en el contexto de estudio, existe una relación inversa entre los enfoques de las variables de la investigación, es decir mientras existan acciones eficientes por parte del trabajador social, en materia de violencia intrafamiliar, los casos tienden a disminuir, aumentando el bienestar de las familias.

La presente investigación se llevó a cabo con el objetivo de analizar el abandono familiar y su relación con el estado emocional de los adultos mayores en el barrio Paraíso del cantón Salinas. Con un enfoque cuantitativo y un método de investigación correlacional, se utilizaron dos variables: abandono familiar y estado emocional de los adultos mayores. Para medir el nivel de satisfacción de las personas mayores, se empleó la escala de Likert en la encuesta estructurada ( muy satisfecho, satisfecho, ni satisfecho, ni insatisfecho, Insatisfecho, muy insatisfecho), que consistió en preguntas que permitieron obtener información importante acerca del tema a estudiar. Los resultados revelaron una correlación significativa entre el abandono familiar y la depresión en este grupo de personas, lo que sugiere que el abandono es un factor estresante importante que puede contribuir al desarrollo de trastornos emocionales en los adultos mayores. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de fortalecer las relaciones familiares y fomentar un ambiente afectivo y seguro para los adultos mayores, para mejorar su calidad de vida y prevenir la aparición de problemas emocionales

La violencia tiene múltiples formas desde los gritos, insultos y amenazas, hasta las humillaciones, los golpes y el abuso sexual, e incluyendo la discriminación y la negligencia. En todos los casos, deja severas consecuencias a nivel físico, psicológico y social, erosionando la capacidad de desarrollar mecanismos de cuidado y aptitudes para toda la vida. El objetivo de la presente investigación tiende a identificar la presencia de violencia contra niñas, niños y adolescentes en las pautas de crianza familiar. Esta es una investigación de acción social, donde se analiza a la violencia desde las opiniones de la niñez. Se destacan las teorías de violencia, perspectiva sociológica, género y autoestima. Se emplean instrumentos, creando espacio de participación para que personas de diferentes franjas etarias, compartan experiencias de forma lúdica. Se explora las relaciones sociales y se describe a la sociedad tal como se la experimenta. En el análisis de resultados, se destaca que se convive en una sociedad donde no sólo existen derechos si no también deberes, donde los adultos deben entender que no únicamente son proveedores de comodidades materiales, sino además controlar y mejorar la disciplina con el ejemplo en casa, evitando el consumo de alcohol, drogas o incurrir en consumos innecesarios que afectan la economía del hogar provocando sobre endeudamiento. Considerando que las actividades recreativas permanentes disminuyen la agresividad además la intervención de otras instituciones tanto en el área de psicología y medicina mejora la convivencia.

DNA strands are essential in a cell for growth, metabolism regulation and carrying genetic information bases to new generations, in every creatures . The function of DNA bases is a 0 and 1 system. In this theoretical research , we try to make two other 0 and 1 systems for DNA bases .In both methods, C2Fe+ is attached to DNA bases and nucleotides like a flag to make derivatives. In the first method NMR susceptibility and Magnetization of pristine DNA bases, nucleotides and their C2Fe varieties are determined theoretically by using Gauss view and Gaussian programs. With effect of a magnetic field (H) and NMR susceptibility of these compounds, their calculate magnetizations , certain signals can be created as a mark of DNA bases and their compounds. These resulted not only can be considered as a method to make a new (0) and (1) system. In the second method, by using Gauss view and Gaussian programs the theoretically UV-Visible spectrum of pristine DNA bases, nucleotides and their C2Fe varieties are determined which the spectrum absorption of the pristine compounds are in different range with the absorption range of C2Fe varieties. With a little change in spectrophotometer construction another 0 and 1 coding system can be created, again.

Published: July 2023

The concept of detection limit was combined with quantum chemical calculations for trace analysis of cadmium and lead in aqueous solution using deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) as ligand. The DFT study was performed using 6-31G(d), cc-pVTZ and SDD basis sets in combination with different theoretical methods such as; B3LYP, MP2 and M06L implemented in Gaussian 09 program package. The obtained results of the study in the gas and aqueous phases show that the chemical stability of the complex was found in the order Pb-oxine > Cd-oxine. Based on the calculations done, the stability order was relative to the detection limit (LOD) for the two metals Cd and Pb. Thus, a reverse relationship between LOD and binding energy has been found.
Practical issues of oral immunotherapy for egg or milk allergy

Published: July 2023

Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has been recommended to reduce parental burden related to strict allergen avoidance and induce desensitization and immune tolerance for patients with long-lasting allergies to hen’s eggs (HE) or cow’s milk (CM). OIT should be monitored by pediatric allergists specializing in OIT and oral food challenge tests to manage allergic reactions. Although a previous history of anaphylaxis or multiple food allergies is not a contraindication to OIT, it is contraindicated if the patient has uncontrolled asthma, a malignancy, active systemic autoimmune disorders, or diseases requiring treatment with beta-blockers. A variety of OIT protocols have been de veloped to ensure better outcomes and safe up-dosing, including adjunctive therapies with biologics. This review provides insight into the practical issues of various immunotherapy options for children with HE or CM allergies.
Heart failure in children and adolescents: an update on diagnostic approaches and management

Published: July 2023

Cardiac failure is a clinical syndrome that may develop in children owing to cardiac dysfunction or underlying structural heart diseases. Considering the differences in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for pediatric heart failure (PHF) and adult heart failure, we have reviewed the current literature on PHF. Relevant studies were extracted from MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, and Clinical Trial Registries using the terms “pediatric heart failure” or “heart failure in children” and “management” or “decongestive therapy.” Recent advances in diagnostic approaches, such as cardiac magnetic resonance, speckle-tracking echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, and molecular diagnostic techniques, have increased our under -standing of PHF. It is imperative that clinicians evaluate the interrelated factors responsible for the develop ment of PHF, including myocardial function, pulmonary and systemic blood flow, heart rhythm, valve function, and nutritional status. Although recent advances have demon strated the efficacy of many new drugs in adult heart failure trials, it cannot be concluded that these drugs will show similar efficacy in children, considering the heterogeneous nature of the underlying mechanisms and variable pharmacody-namics and pharmacokinetics. Therefore, the underlying pathophysiology of PHF and the mechanisms of action of different drugs should be considered when selecting appropriate therapies. Further trials are needed to establi sh the efficacy and safety of these drugs, and a combined mul-ti disciplinary strategy will help enhance PHF outcomes.
