Authors: Tiñena Guiamet Ferran , Solans Ibáñez Indibil , Buscemi Agata , Lorenzo Almeida Daniel
Published: November 2023

In the subjects of architecture and urban design in the second year of the School of Architecture of Reus, the different scales are integrated, going through all the architectural matters imaginable, we believe it is necessary to use new pedagogical tools to escape from the idea of a linear design with a beginning and an end. In this sense, we see the need to carefully design the progress of complete and motivating exercises, basing their learning on two major teaching methodologies: the first, the hand as a direct expression of thought, by means of an iterative process at various scales of which we carry out "rehearsals"; and the second, which aims, through theoretical classes, to convey a broad artistic and architectural culture related to the process, a multifaceted but deeply careful teaching which, due to its thematic concreteness, we have named "tutorials". In this communication we wish to share our experience focused on the use of both methodologies.

En las asignaturas de proyectos y urbanismo de segundo curso de la Escuela de Arquitectura de Reus, se integran las distintas escalas, pasando por todas las cuestiones arquitectónicas imaginables, consideramos necesaria la utilización de nuevas herramientas pedagógicas para escapar de la idea de diseño lineal con comienzo y final. En este sentido vemos necesario diseñar cuidadosamente el avance de unos ejercicios completos y motivadores, basando su aprendizaje en dos grandes metodologías docentes: la primera es la mano como expresión directa del pensamiento, a través de un proceso iterativo y a distintas escalas del que realizamos “ensayos”; y la segunda es la pretensión, mediante clases teóricas, de transmitir una amplia cultura artística y arquitectónica relacionada con el proceso, una enseñanza polifacética pero profundamente cuidada que, por su concreción temática, hemos dado en llamar “tutoriales”. En esta comunicación deseamos compartir nuestra experiencia centrada en el uso de ambas metodologías.
Réplicas interiores: un atlas doméstico
Authors: Pérez García Diego Alfonso , González Pecchi Paula
Published: November 2023

Project-based learning involves examining the work of others, traditionally focused on canonical works of architectural history that act as references for the workshops. However, these exceptional cases are often produced under unique circumstances, far removed from common architectural practice and alien to any direct student experience. The work developed in Architecture Workshop I, shows a different perspective by focusing on "normal houses", common and ordinary dwellings that students inhabit on a daily basis and that usually lack disciplinary recognition. Through scale replicas of interiors of their own homes, students observe and analyze details, processes and techniques, promoting hands-on learning and a deeper understanding of the architecture that builds cities. The exercise demonstrates that architectural knowledge resides not only in exceptional works, but also in the everyday and anonymous.

El aprendizaje basado en proyectos implica examinar el trabajo de otros, tradicionalmente centrado en obras canónicas de la historia de la arquitectura que actúan como referencia para los talleres. Sin embargo, estos casos excepcionales a menudo son producidos bajo circunstancias singulares, alejadas de la práctica de arquitectura común y ajena a cualquier experiencia directa de estudiantes. El trabajo desarrollado en el Taller de Arquitectura I, muestra una perspectiva diferente al enfocarse en las "casas normales", viviendas comunes y corrientes que habitan diariamente los estudiantes y que, habitualmente, carecen de reconocimiento disciplinar. A través de réplicas a escala de interiores de sus propias viviendas, los estudiantes observan y analizan detalles, procesos y técnicas, promoviendo un aprendizaje práctico y una compresión más profunda de la arquitectura que construye las ciudades. El ejercicio demuestra que el conocimiento arquitectónico no solo reside en obras excepcionales, sino que también en lo cotidiano y anónimo.
El Proyecto Experiencial: la titulación de arquitectos a través de proyectos no convencionales
Authors: Solis Figueroa Raúl Alejandro
Published: November 2023

The communication presents a singular format of final studio work that has been carried out for some years. Along with make known a way of doing, its main objective is to establish lines of relationship between an academic practice that is certainly uncommon and somewhat diffuse, and the areas of performance where graduates later start in the profession. "El Proyecto Experiencial" consists of approaching an architectural problem from a theoretical-experiencial point of view, formulating an argument that includes a process of materialization which transcends into an architectural experience. At the same time, it is inquired how the “Proyecto Experiencial” (project based on an experience of an experiment) can be a reference in the professional evolution of the architects graduated in this modality, and which abilities are provided by the realization of this process in the fiction and autonomy that the academic context allows. A process contrary of the simulation of a reality later be lived in the profession.

La comunicación presenta un formato singular de trabajo final de estudios que desde algunos años se viene realizando. Junto con divulgar una manera de hacer, su objetivo central es establecer líneas de relación entre una práctica académica ciertamente alternativa y algo difusa, y los ámbitos de desempeño donde posteriormente los graduados se inician en la profesión. El “Proyecto Experiencial”, consiste en abordar una problemática de la arquitectura, desde una óptica teórico-experiencial, formulando un argumento que involucra un proceso de materialización el cual trasciende en una experiencia arquitectónica. Al mismo tiempo, se indaga acerca de cómo el proyecto experiencial puede referenciar el devenir profesional de los arquitectos titulados en esta modalidad, y a la vez que competencias entrega el realizar este proceso en la ficción y autonomía que permite la academia, y no al contrario, simulando la realidad que vivirá más tarde en la profesión.
Fundamentación en arquitectura: el estado de la cuestión
Authors: Estrada Gil Ana María , López Chalarca Diego Alonso , Suarez Velásquez Ana Mercedes , Uribe Lemarie Natalia
Published: November 2023

The research Architecture basic course: state of knowledge, asks two central issues. One is based on the study plans of different architecture faculties, and especially, the first course to the training of future architects; and the other, asks about the teaching staff that has formulated those programs. Both in the analysis of the study plans and in the analysis of the programs, curricular aspects are studied, as well as qualitative approaches according to the key words of their contents. Regarding the conversations with the teaching staff, their motivations, and disciplinary visions, as well as their pedagogical tools, are investigated. The debate about whether the student should be trained for his future occupation, or, on the contrary, for what does not happen in the professional environment, are some of the motivations that spark this research exercise.

La investigación "El estado de la cuestión en la enseñanza de la arquitectura" se pregunta por dos asuntos centrales. El primero se sitúa en los planes de estudio de las Escuelas de arquitectura, y especialmente, el curso de entrada a la formación de los futuros arquitectos; y el segundo, sobre el cuerpo docente que ha formulado dichos programas. Tanto en el análisis de los planes de estudio como en el de los programas se estudian aspectos curriculares, así como los enfoques cualitativos de acuerdo con las palabras clave de sus contenidos. En cuanto a las conversaciones con el cuerpo docente se indaga sobre sus motivaciones y visiones disciplinares, así como sus herramientas pedagógicas. El debate sobre si el estudiante debe ser formado para su futura ocupación, o si, por el contrario, para lo que no sucede en el medio profesional, son algunas de las motivaciones que suscitan este ejercicio investigativo.

Authors: Soust Verdaguer Bernardette , Gómez de Cózar Juan Carlos , García Martínez Antonio
Published: November 2023

This teaching experience works on collective housing projects developed by the students, in which a process of evaluation of the carbon footprint is developed using digital tools and identification of possible improvements for the results obtained. This exercise involves the integration of the calculation of the carbon footprint using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, as well as the awareness of the impacts generated by the different systems, elements and materials that make up the building. The aim of this is to stimulate a physical and tangible approach to the calculation of the carbon footprint incorporated into the architectural design, where the implications of the design, the volumetry of the building, the importance of optimisation in the design of the different systems that make up the building, as well as the selection of materials can be identified.

La presente experiencia docente trabaja sobre proyectos de vivienda colectiva desarrollados por el alumnado, en los cuales se desarrolla un proceso de evaluación de la huella de carbono utilizando herramientas digitales y de identificación de posibles mejoras para los resultados obtenidos. Este ejercicio que implica la integración del cálculo de la huella de carbono utilizando la metodología del Análisis del Ciclo de Vida (ACV), así como la toma de conciencia de los impactos generados por los diferentes sistemas, elementos y materiales que componen el edificio. El objetivo de esto se centra en estimular la aproximación física y tangible del cálculo de la huella de carbono incorporado al diseño arquitectónico, donde se puedan identificar las implicaciones del diseño, la volumetría del edificio, la importancia de la optimización en el diseño de los diferentes sistemas que componen el edificio, así como de la selección de los materiales.

Was gibt es Neues aus den demokratiefeindlichen Milieus? Im Radar teilen wir zentrale Ergebnisse unseres Langzeit-Monitorings und analysieren die sich abbildenden Trends. Einer dieser Trends stellt die Neusortierung eines Spektrums dar, das sich in antagonistischen Posen gegen das System äußert, ohne dabei einem traditionellen politischen Lager zugeordnet zu sein. Waren diese dissidenten Gruppierungen zuvor in der Welt von Querdenken gut aufgehoben, beobachten wir eine Tendenz der Verselbständigung, die mit dem Abklingen themenspezifischer Mobilisierung einhergeht. Wie immer behandeln wir auch die neuesten Thementrends im Kommunikationsverhalten demokratiefeindlicher Akteure und zeigen, wer aus diesem Spektrum auf Telegram an Popularität gewinnt oder verliert.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ARGON LASER IN PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERAL RETINAL BREAKS IN PREVENTING RETINAL DETACHMENT
Authors: Danaj Brisilda , Simaku Ermal
Published: November 2023

Retinal detachment is a risk to one's vision that occurs about 1 in 10,000 times. Prior to the 1920s, this disease was completely blinding. Restoration of retinal detachments has been much simpler over the past 50 years thanks to procedures like scleral buckling, pneumatic retinopexy, and vitrectomy. Rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative retinal detachments are the three types. When subretinal fluid accumulates between the retinal pigment epithelium and the neurosensory retina, retinal detachment occurs. During this phase, three things might occur. Breaking the retina is one way to let vitreous directly enter the subretinal region. This retinal detachment is rhegmatogenous. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachments are frequently brought on by trauma- or posterior vitreous-separated-induced retinal tears. The growth of membranes on the vitreous or retinal surface is a second mechanism.These membranes have the capacity to physically divide the retinal pigment epithelium from the neurosensory retina. A tractional retinal detachment is what this is. Proliferative retinopathy caused by sickle cell anemia, diabetes, or other conditions that neovascularize the retina can cause tractional retinal detachment. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy following trauma or surgery may also contribute to tractional retinal detachments. Fluid exuding from a mass lesion or an accumulation of subretinal fluid caused by inflammatory mediators are the third causes of retinal detachment. Serous or exudative retinal detachment is the term used to describe this mechanism. Sarcoidosis and choroidal neoplasms are two examples of inflammatory or exudative retinal disease processes that can cause serous detachments. Patients with aggressively spreading cancers, such as testicular cancer, may also have serous retinal detachments. A case study of a retinal detachment without a profilactive argon laser and a known peripheral retinal break is presented. The patient arrived at our clinic with symptoms of retinal detachment that had been present for two to three weeks, as well as peripheral retinal breaks that had been photographed eight months prior.

Keywords: Retinal detachment; peripheral retinal breaks; rhegmatogenous; tractional; exudative; profilactive argon laser.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE QIRIAZI SISTERS TO THE EMANCIPATION OF ALBANIAN WOMEN
Authors: Lajçi Nutrika
Published: November 2023

“Two Albanian heroines” were named by Hester Donaldson, the sisters Sevasti and Parashqevi Qiriazi. They stood out among the first Albanian women in the foreign world and were considered unusual in their eyes. The success achieved by the Qiriazi sisters in the college of Constantinople was first of all a continuation of a family inspiration, but also of preparation in the American school. This is what Sevastia herself says: "The foundations of my education were laid at the American Mission School in Manastir". The Qiriazi sisters, without a doubt, occupy one of the places of honor for their struggle and commitment, both in education and even more so in diplomacy, distinguishing their attitude in the fact that they devoted their whole lives to the issue of the homeland. They make known, in front of the foreign opinion, the goal and the just fight that the Albanian people fought for freedom and independence, for education and their national language. The Qiriazi sisters, in addition to opening a school for girls, also founded a society called Yll'i Mêngjezit with Parashqevi Qiriazi as president. According to the statute, the goals of the Association were efforts to educate women and improve their position in the family and society. This activity influenced the strengthening of the national feeling among the women of Korça and its surroundings.

Keywords: Qiriazi Sisters, Hester Donaldson, Sevasti, Parashqevi, school diplomacy, Manastir, Korça, Gjerasim.

THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, THE BATTLE OF LIFE FOR ALL HUMAN KIND
Authors: Kurti Bledar
Published: November 2023

The Old Man And The Sea, by Ernest Hemingway, went in printing in 1952, a year later was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. In 1954, Hemingway was given the Nobel Prize in Literature. After such a big success and a long and well accomplished career, a few years later, on a Sunday, the morning July 2nd 1961, Hemingway committed suicide. The paradox of the author’s ending with the ending of his most famous novel The Old Man And The Sea is that Ernest Hemingway, the man, gave up, whereas his character in the novel Santiago never gave up, was never defeated, emerging triumphant with the struggle against larger forces. This paradox raises the question: is The Old Man And The Sea a reflection of the author’s personal life and agony, as most commentators believe, or is it much more than that? A novel that depicts and represents the constant struggle of human kind in every era? Why was Hemingway in agony? Ernest Hemingway was a writer that belonged to the Lost Generation. One can imagine living the horrors of WWI, known as the Great War, being a personal witness in the Civil Spanish War, then WWII, living the entire adult life in and between wars. One looses hope and only dwells in the despair of loss, and agonizing in every breath. But as painful as his life was, Hemingway wrote this novel not just like a reflection of his own agony, not just as an expression of his own voice, but more than that, he portrayed the constant human struggle throughout the centuries, speaking in the voice of all humanity, past, present and future. This approach is the key what makes the novel so great. And the style and symbolism used in it make it a masterpiece therefore reading it a very thrilling experience.  In this paper I will analyze the symbolism used in The Old Man And The Sea as well as make a comparison with a flow of historical and literary memory and conscience of the human kind, the world at large and of its author Ernest Hemingway. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis on why this novel goes beyond the voice of the author. It is a universal work that represents the struggle and calling of humanity throughout the ages.

Keywords: Hemingway, Old Man, sea, symbolism, Santiago, Manolin, Marlin, sharks, lions, fish, humankind, struggle, universal.
OVERLOOKED AVANT-GARDE IN THE YOUTH OPUS OF LOJZE KOVAČIČ
Authors: Blažić Milena Mileva
Published: November 2023

The article presents the literary works foryouth by Lojze Kovačič (1928-2004) who mostly wrote for adults.He was born in Basel, Switzerland, but before the Second World War, the author's family had to leave Switzerland and they emigrated to the then Kingdom of Yugoslavia, to the birthplace of his father. As early as 1947, he began publishing in Slovene in the student newspaper “Mi mladi” (We Young). After 1950, he wrote short modern fairy tales for children with modernist elements typical of adult literature. This deliberate modernity already heralds a top author who, for example, translated Kafka for children. In his initial phase, he collaborated with illustrators (e.g., Milan Bizovičar), created comics with avant-garde art elements and wrote science fiction. The most famous is the collection of short contemporary fairy tales “Zgodbe iz mesta Rič-Rač” (Stories from the City of Rič-Rač, 1962- ) which has been reprinted several times and represents only a third of the author's oeuvre. Two-thirds are unpublished, scattered through various radio shows and magazines. The editor of Pionirski list, Marija Kovačič Vida, published texts by a whole generation of authors in the 1950s and 1960s. In the most famous anthologies, entitled “Za celo leto: priročnik iger in deklamacij” (For the Whole Year: A Handbook of Games and Declamations, 1960) and “Praznični koledar: pesmi, črtice in igre za šolske prireditve” (Holiday Calendar: Poems, Literary Sketches, and Games for School Events, 1976), she made an outstanding review of literary creativity intended for children and youth. Based on the study of the author's oeuvre for youth, we can easily conclude that the author is a pronounced modernist, as he used avant-garde approaches, elements of art deco, Bauhaus, camera obscura, puppets, mundus inversus, commercials, etc. He translated picturesque visual images into modernist texts for young people. At the end of the article, suggestions are given for a scientific-critical monograph dealing with the author's literary opus for youth which is characterized by translation of visual into verbal and vice versa (e.g., puppets, comics), as well as between other media. It is paradoxical that L. Kovačič in his literary worksintended for adults was rather critical of the socialist system in his second homeland (1945-1991), but he nevertheless published the most literary units for youth during this very period, and his work was also regularly included in the curricula (1984, 1998) and readers in schools, while in the latest curriculum from 2019 he is completely overlooked and omitted. Based on his writing, L. Kovačič is a truely European author. He died on 1 May 2004, the day Slovenia became a member of the EU and the intense oblivion of history began. L. Kovačič was one ofthe victims of this process.

Keywords: Lojze Kovačič, youth opus, art deco, avant-garde, Bauhaus, topsy-turvy world, camera obscura, puppets, radio, commercials.

Authors: (Kokoli) Iris Klosi
Published: November 2023

English language teaching is both challenging and satisfactory, especially when combined with student-oriented approaches. The focus of the paper will be the experience with third year undergraduate students of University of Tirana, Faculty of Foreign Language, English Department, during their courses on British Studies and Translation Criticism. The paper is a qualitative research describing the way English language students were involved in playwriting, production and performance of a variety show in English called “Curtain Call” by the end of their academic year April-June 2022. The paper reinforces the importance of offering extracurricular activities to English language students to encourage their creativity, academic development, language proficiency, cooperative learning and team building. The paper also seeks to offer a positive perspective of students´ experience on the stage of National Experimental Theatre in Tirana, and their familiarity with backstage, forestage, light effects, music, stage design, stage directions, proxemics, prosody, speakability, breathability, and many other theatrical elements. From the English language and culture teaching-learning perspective, the research offers a series of findings and recommendations on the importance of applying all the acquired knowledge on British and American Studies and Translation teaching-learning process in front of English-speaking spectators who could test their successful language and culture attainment when performing live in English while taking the stage.

Keywords: English language teaching-learning process, language and culture acquisition and attainment, theatre stage, language proficiency, British and American culture.
ADAPTATION AS A SOLID PRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUE IN TRANSLATION OF COMPLEX LITERARY TEXTS
Authors: Ajdini Florim , Ejupi Suzana
Published: November 2023

Adaptation as one of the most efficient techniques in translation seen from a general perspective has alwaysbeen a challenge to encounter with almost all those who practice this complex intellectual activity. In this regard, this paper aims to identify  some crucial steeps to be undertaken during the translation process, all in order to see  what is the scale  this technique reaches, and which are the text transfer difficulties from SL to TT, impacting the overall message transfer from L1 to L2. The source samplings are translation products from 20 students at the English Language Department, at our home institution. The samplings are divided into two groups of ten translations each, which have been put under both qualitative and quantitative  analysis, aiming to reveal factors, reasons and level of language mastery, as a crucial factor and  cause,  which impacts and puts under condition the overall adaptation scale to be used in the process. Text Quantum Transfer Interactions Typology (TQTIT), based primarily on using adaptation as a technique, will be revealed and defined. This analytical approach will result with quantitative percentage referring to adaptation, expressed in an explicit way. It will show a sharp cleavage between ST and TT consistency balance in terms of adaptation functionality, of the overall transferred message from one to the other language. This will be the final answer to the priory set hypothesis concerning translation based upon adaptation as a technique. And finally the answer will define and qualify the product as an “ad verbum”, rather than as an “adsensum” translation product.

Keywords: Translation, adaptation, scale, factors, reasons.

Authors: Gurra Hyreme , Isaku Fatmire , Xhumkar Bjonda
Published: November 2023

This research paper is going to elaborate the elements of Modernism as one of the most distinguished and important period of Literature. The key elements of this Era will be highlighted threw James Joyce’s Portrait. Modernism surely made a new approach to English Literature with a completely new writing style, motifs, aspects, symbols, and access to scenes,using new elements that will encourage and influence future writers. In “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’’, is portrayed the innovative use of stream of consciousness, a technique throughout which is described the thought and the stream of consciousness since it vividly contains the elements of Modernism.The new style of writing that characterizes Modernist writers is highly impressing and contains innovative elements that were not used by authors from other periods in Literature. This style transcribes the inner world of the actors, rather than describing sexiness or the external outlook of the character. The novel “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,” vividly contains a great amount of these elements, away from the traditional styles and methods.In this study are highlighted and analyzed the main elements of Modernism, used in almost every part of the novel.The research methods being used throughout this paper are: comparative method, narrative method, qualitative and quantitative method.

Keywords: Obsessed, Modernism, tradition, stream of consciousness, individual, techniques.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do biochar de torta de filtro como condicionador de solo e sua influência no crescimento e na fisiologia de macaúba, araçá e cajuzinho do cerrado. Os experimentos foram montados na Fazenda Hamilton de Abreu Navarro da UFMG, onde foram avaliados o efeito de quatro doses de biochar de torta de filtro (1%, 2%, 4% e 8% v/v) e dois tratamentos controle:  um com correção do solo e adubação mineral, e o outro sem adubação. Para acompanhar o desempenho das mudas, foram realizadas avaliações aos 30, 60 e 120 dias após o transplantio, dos parâmetros fisiológicos (fotossíntese, transpiração, condutância estomática, CO2 consumido, carbono interno e taxa de transporte de elétrons), e morfológicos (altura e diâmetro), aos 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias após o transplantio. Aos 120 dias, avaliou-se a produção de biomassa seca da parte aérea, de raízes e total. Para a macaúba, a aplicação de biochar, na dose de 2%, favoreceu a sua fotossíntese. Já para o araçá, aos 30 dias após o transplantio, o tratamento sem adubação foi melhor para a maioria das variáveis, entretanto os tratamentos com biochar também tiveram resultados satisfatórios. O cajuzinho do cerrado também respondeu positivamente à aplicação de biochar em todas as doses. As variáveis fisiológicas e morfológicas responderam bem aos tratamentos sem adubação e com aplicação de biochar ao solo. Portanto, o biochar de torta de filtro pode ser indicado no plantio das espécies estudadas, assim como a não aplicação de corretivo e fertilizante mineral.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a ação de isolados de Trichoderma asperellum e de seus filtrados de cultura no controle de Lasiodiplodia theobromae in vivo e na promoção do crescimento de mudas de nogueira-pecã. Foram desenvolvidos dois experimentos, ambos em casa de vegetação. No primeiro experimento, a parte aérea das plantas foi aspergida pelos tratamentos de controle biológico e 14 dias após foi inoculado o patógeno no caule, por meio de ferimento. No segundo experimento, o substrato foi umedecido com os tratamentos de controle biológico e 14 dias após foi feita a inoculação do patógeno seguindo mesma metodologia do primeiro experimento. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: comprimento da parte aérea, diâmetro do caule, massa fresca da parte aérea e da raiz, massa seca da parte aérea e da raiz, incidência e severidade da doença. A comparação das médias foi realizada pelo teste de Skott-Knott a 5% de probabilidade de erro, com o software SISVAR. Nos dois experimentos, obtiveram-se as maiores respostas nos parâmetros de crescimento avaliados nos tratamentos com os filtrados de cultura e com a suspensão de esporos, em relação ao tratamento inoculado com o patógeno sem o uso dos tratamentos de controle biológico. Esses tratamentos também reduziram a incidência e a severidade do cancro do tronco em mudas de nogueira-pecã, sendo que o melhor tratamento variou com a forma de aplicação. Os isolados de T. asperellum e os filtrados de cultura estimularam o crescimento inicial das plantas, diminuíram a incidência e a severidade do cancro do tronco nas plantas de nogueira-pecã, independente da forma de aplicação.

O objetivo da pesquisa consistiu em avaliar as características de queima de espécies encontradas na região geográfica imediata de Patos/PB quando submetidas à ação do fogo. Foram avaliadas dez espécies em três repetições, que consistiam no material combustível de espécies encontradas na Caatinga. Esses materiais foram coletados em sacos de náilon de 60 kg e secos ao ar para posterior queima. Avaliaram -se a altura e temperatura das chamas; tempo e frequência de ignição; velocidade de propagação; duração da queima; intensidade do fogo e teor de cinzas. Na velocidade de propagação das chamas identificou-se superioridade da Aristida adscensionis com 0,0335 m s-1, assim como na intensidade do fogo, em que seus 402,43 kcal m-1 s-1 foram responsáveis pela classificação em muito alta severidade. A máxima duração da queima foi encontrada na Anadenanthera colubrina, com 24 min. A Mimosa tenuiflora obteve o menor teor de cinzas, o que é favorável para seu potencial energético. A Cnidoscolus quercifolius é uma espécie de baixa inflamabilidade, tendo em vista a dificuldade de entrar em ignição. Locais com presença abundante de Aristida adscensionis devem ser monitorados frequentemente para o risco de ocorrência de incêndios, principalmente em épocas que condições como a elevada temperatura do ar e baixa umidade favorecem à ocorrência do fogo.

Channel News Asia has been an excellent news site in Asia and other foreign countries because of its exceptional phrase complexity and informative text which is at par to The Guardian or VICE, despite being CNN tier news site by the web and operational design. Currently, the South China Sea conflict is part of the CNA’s subtle information delivery regarding UC-China rivalry without sounding like Yellow Journalism. Using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis, the author was able to discover how CNA delivers the geopolitical issues to provide information regarding US-China rivalry in trade market.

Qur'an Chapter Yusuf verse 84 tells about the sore eye of Prophet Ya'qub. It is told that he had sore eye with an indication of white discoloration of his eyes due to deep sadness. In this verse, the Qur'an only speaks of the nature and cause of the illness, without mentioning the type of illness yet. Based on this background, this thesis presents research on the eye disease of Prophet Ya'qub in the perspective of eye health study. The research method applied in the study is qualitative method. Whereas, The documentation techniques from library sources in the form of 12 books of tafsir muktabar along with other supporting books for data collection techniques. Then the interpretation analysis theory that is applied is tahli>li> interpretation. The results of the study found that there are six opinions of tafsir scholars in interpreting the type of eye disease of Prophet Ya'qub. The six are: blindness, low vision, flooding of tears (Nasolacrimal duct obstruction), thin white membrane (cataract), dry eye, and glaucoma. There are two principles which become the standard in the object of this research, namely the indication of the white color in the eyes of Prophet Ya'qub and sadness as a causative factor. According to the study of eye health, by paying attention to these two indications, the author further strengthens the opinion that the eye disease which plagued the Prophet Ya'qub leads to cataract eye disease. Because cataracts are a disease which clearly gives a white effect on the eye. As for the other diseases, there is less visible characteristic of the white effect on the eye. Furthermore, the main cause of cataracts is excess sugar in the body (Diabetes Mellitus). Diabetes mellitus often occurs due to stress or protracted sadness. Thus, the author's strong assumption in giving the conclusion that the eye disease experienced by the Prophet Ya'qub is leading to cataract eye disease

The development of information and communication technology causes electronic media to start following technological developments related to a shift in media consumption patterns to online media such as the internet, television streaming and information that can be accessed via the internet. The number of internet users that is growing so rapidly is increasing along with the development of variations in internet-based communication media. Its use that is so easy and can be accessed anywhere is an option for most people. This study aims to determine the convergence of Banyuwangi TV media in broadcasting local cultural content in the digital media era. This qualitative descriptive research uses a case study approach, where the researcher identifies and analyzes a specific issue. Data were obtained from interviews with sources, books, articles, and other related literature. Using the concept of media convergence from Henry Jenkins, the results of this study indicate that Banyuwangi TV adopts three types of media convergence that are related to each other: a) technological convergence by managing online media in the form of websites (www.banyuwangi.tv) and youtube and being present in the media.
Towards Early Prediction of Human iPSC Reprogramming Success

This paper presents advancements in automated early-stage prediction of the success of reprogramming human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a potential source for regenerative cell therapies. The minuscule success rate of iPSC-reprogramming of around 0.01% to 0.1% makes it labor-intensive, time-consuming, and exorbitantly expensive to generate a stable iPSC line since that requires culturing of millions of cells and intense biological scrutiny of multiple clones to identify a single optimal clone. The ability to reliably predict which cells are likely to establish as an optimal iPSC line at an early stage of pluripotency would therefore be ground-breaking in rendering this a practical and cost-effective approach to personalized medicine.
Temporal information about changes in cellular appearance over time is crucial for predicting its future growth outcomes. In order to generate this data, we first performed continuous time-lapse imaging of iPSCs in culture using an ultra-high resolution microscope. We then annotated the locations and identities of cells in late-stage images where reliable manual identification is possible. Next, we propagated these labels backwards in time using a semi-automated tracking system to obtain labels for early stages of growth. Finally, we used this data to train deep neural networks to perform automatic cell segmentation and classification.

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a group of cardiac malformations present already during fetal life, representing the prevailing category of birth defects globally. Our aim in this study is to aid 3D fetal vessel topology visualisation in aortic arch anomalies, a group which encompasses a range of conditions with significant anatomical heterogeneity. We present a multi-task framework for automated multi-class fetal vessel segmentation from 3D black blood T2w MRI and anomaly classification. Our training data consists of binary manual segmentation masks of the cardiac vessels’ region in individual subjects and fully-labelled anomaly-specific population atlases. Our framework combines deep learning label propagation using VoxelMorph with 3D Attention U-Net segmentation and DenseNet121 anomaly classification. We target 11 cardiac vessels and three distinct aortic arch anomalies, including double aortic arch, right aortic arch, and suspected coarctation of the aorta. We incorporate an anomaly classifier into our segmentation pipeline, delivering a multi-task framework with the primary motivation of correcting topological inaccuracies of the segmentation. The hypothesis is that the multi-task approach will encourage the segmenter network to learn anomaly-specific features. As a secondary motivation, an automated diagnosis tool may have the potential to enhance diagnostic confidence in a decision support setting. Our results showcase that our proposed training strategy significantly outperforms label propagation and a network trained exclusively on propagated labels. Our classifier outperforms a classifier trained exclusively on T2w volume images, with an average balanced accuracy of 0.99 (0.01) after joint training. Adding a classifier improves the anatomical and topological accuracy of all correctly classified double aortic arch subjects.
