Connecting an Urban Mosaic: Open Spaces and Sustainable Places of Belgrade
Authors:   University of Calgary, Burman Jeanette , Tsenkova Sasha ,   University of Calgary
Published: April 2021

Following a rapid transition to markets, democracy and private enterprise, Serbia’s capital Belgrade is emerging as a ‘global city’, but this ambition is coming at a cost to the environment and a loss of sense of place for its people. Diverse identities and changing values over time are being challenged as the city transitions out of a complex socialist past into a pervasively global economy, which by definition challenges locally embedded hybridity of place and puts strain on sustainable growth. Open spaces are required for city residents to live, work, and move efficiently, making the use, access, and ecological integrity of open spaces a city-wide priority. The dependence and attachment of city residents to these spaces provides an ideal baseline for analysis of different open space typologies integral to the urban fabric defining a wide range of urban resiliency strategies. This people-centered approach, coupled with an understanding of the contemporary and historical significance of open spaces, raises the question of how to improve and connect such forms to the urban fabric while respecting place identity in response to post-socialist spatial change. Our case studies inspect the socialist landscapes of public open spaces in New Belgrade as they have transformed in a contemporary context. Other case studies demonstrate the systematic loss of open space taken over by private informal housing on one hand, but also as people-driven initiatives reclaiming the urban landscape on the other. Using fresh empirical evidence and case study analysis at the neighborhood scale, this research employs an open space typology of resiliency in place for a connected urban mosaic of post-socialist Belgrade. The analytical framework draws on existing urban research in the context of post-socialist transition and advances a design matrix to analyze open space forms for connectivity in relation to place and sustainability.

Authors:   The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Sunter Catherine
Published: April 2021

In 2013, the Wood Be Better (WBB) interdisciplinary research project was established, with the principal goal to produce and publicise knowledge that would facilitate the increased use of wood in buildings in urban areas in Norway. This article investigates six master-level studios at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), from autumn 2013 to spring 2016, set up as laboratories for systematic architectural exploration within this research project. A set of structured, qualitative interviews with teachers, researchers and students, presents a broad account of the courses. The findings reveal an educational focus on investigating architectural solutions to complex urban situations and the development of technical and detailed knowledge in materials using the latest and expert knowledge within the interdisciplinary research team. The studios contributed to the research by illustrating the architectural implications of a variety of design alternatives, and in addition, embedded knowledge and interest in timber to the next generation of architects.

Los Métodos de Diseño Arquitectónico Positivistas Ya Están Agotados
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, Torres Landa López Alejandra , Parga Ramírez Jorge Carlos ,   Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes
Published: April 2021

La exposición de la enseñanza positivista y sus métodos surgieron como reacción a la tradicional Ecole des Beaux Arts, presentándose la faceta positivista como intentos desesperados para justificar el diseño arquitectónico, principalmente el aspecto artístico/espontaneo, sin embargo hoy en día parece haber unagotamiento de ambas posturas, lo que desemboca a identificar la realidad actual y la condición o visión presente Posmoderna. Hay que recordar que la filosofía positivista considera como verdad absoluta únicamente lo que puede ser captado por los sentidos y que puede sersometido a una verificación científica, de ahí surge el método científico. Esta postura permitió desarrollar metodologías de investigación con buenos resultados para su época, sin embargo la sociedad ha cambiado de moderna a posmoderna. Donde la sociedad moderna se caracterizaba por desconfiar delsujeto y sobrevalorar al objeto, donde la objetividad era la verdad absoluta, proporcionando un sentidode seguridad; en cambio, la sociedad postmodernase caracteriza por la incertidumbre, la globalización, la sociedad de consumo y el uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación. Dicha posmodernidad imperante se ve reflejada en la arquitectura y en consecuenciase presenta la necesidad de una propuesta de flexibilidad ante las tendencias anteriores.Dicha flexibilidad tendrá que manifestarse tanto en el proceso de diseño arquitectónico como en su enseñanza y aprendizaje, procesos que se ven afectados por las posturas Educativas Internacionales que resaltan el cambio de un modelo conductista a uno constructivista, en el que el primero el profesor era el centro del proceso educativo, el poseedor delconocimiento y donde el alumno era únicamenteel receptor, una figura pasiva que recibía lo que elmaestro le enseñaba; a diferencia del constructivista, donde el estudiante es protagonista del procesoeducativo, responsable de su propio aprendizaje y el profesor es guía y facilitador, proponiendo estrategias de aprendizaje que ayuden al estudiante a construir nuevos conocimientos, desarrollar habilidades y promovernuevas actitudes al autoaprendizaje, al trabajo colaborativo, responsable con la sociedad y el medioambiente. Sin embargo, pareciera que sólo se quedaen el discurso, ya que en los salones de clase se crean conflictos que impiden ponerlo en práctica.El interés por conocer y entender esta problemática, específicamente en la licenciatura de arquitecturade la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes enMéxico, llevó a proponer una investigación que busca explicar cómo la flexibilidad en un método de diseño arquitectónico puede ser un recurso para favorecer el modelo educativo constructivista y lograr aprendiza jessignificativos, de tal manera que se formenarquitectos que respondan las necesidades delmundo posmoderno.

The Authority of the Honorary Council of the Indonesian Notary Association in Imposing Sanctions for Violation of the Notary's Code of Ethics
Authors: Yani Ahmad , Qurrahman Taupiq
Published: April 2021

A code of ethics is a pattern of rules, procedures, signs, ethical guidelines when carrying out an activity / a job. The notary code of ethics is all moral principles that guide in carrying out the position of a notary, whether it applies to Notaries or other people who hold and carry out the position of notary public. The Indonesian Notary Association as the only forum for Notaries has a very important role in making rules and enforcing the professional code of ethics for Notaries, because one of the complementary tools in the Indonesian notary association is the presence of an Honorary Council. The Honorary Council upholds the code of ethics, dignity and dignity of the Notary, which is independent and free from partiality in carrying out its duties and authorities in the association. The objectives of this study are 1. What are the obligations and prohibitions against Notaries, 2. How is the Authority of the Honorary Council of the Indonesian Notary Association in Imposing Sanctions for Violation of the Notary's Code of Ethics in Indonesia. The methodology used in this research is normative juridical. The results of the discussion are: Notaries have obligations and prohibitions, both those regulated by law and those regulated by a code of ethics. If the notary violates the law, the notary has indirectly violated the code of ethics. However, notaries who violate the code of ethics do not necessarily violate the law. In addition, in upholding the code of ethics, the Central Honorary Council only has the authority to give warnings and proposals to the central management to make a temporary dismissal (schorsing) of association members who violate the code of ethics
СРЕДСТВА РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИИ КОНЦЕПТОВ ОСЕНЬ И ВЕСНА В ЛИНГВОКУЛЬТУРЕ РУССКОГО И УЗБЕКСКОГО ЯЗЫКОВ
Authors: NOSIROV Otabek
Published: April 2021

В статье рассмотрены аспекты выражения концептов Осень и Весна, входящих в концептосферу Времена года в русской и узбекской лингвокультурах. Также произведён подробный анализ понятий осень и весна в толковых словарях узбекского языка, изданных в разный период. В современных толковых словарях узбекского языка значения времён года имеют как сходства, так и различия: это наблюдается не только в отношении зимы и лета, но и в оформлении дефиниций весны и осени. Содержание концептов Осень, Весна связано с культурно-ценностными доминантами русской и узбекской культур, а их этнокультурные отличия проявляются в каждом из слоев концепта на этимологическом, семантическом, образном, понятийном, ассоциативном, символическом уровнях. В статье это рассмотрено на основе узбекских пословиц и поговорок, которые и в XXI веке сохранили в себе элементы ритуально-обрядовых традиций, свидетельствующих о том, что формирование и наполнение концепта непосредственно связано с формированием и развитием мифопоэтики народа, бережно сохраняемой и передаваемой из поколения в поколение.
An Empirical Modelling for the Baseline Energy Consumption of an NB-IoT Radio Transceiver
Authors: Khan Sikandar , Alam Muhamamd Mahtab , LeMoullec yannick , Kussik alar , parand sven , Verikoukis Christos
Published: April 2021

NarrowBand Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is an emerging cellular IoT technology that offers attractive features for deploying low-power wide area networks suitable for implementing massive machine type communications. NB-IoT features include e.g. extended coverage and deep penetration for massive connectivity, longer battery-life, appropriate throughput and desired latency at lower bandwidth. Regarding the device energy consumption, NB-IoT is mostly under-estimated for its control and signaling overheads, which calls for a better understanding of the energy consumption profiling of an NB-IoT radio transceiver. With this aim, this work presents a thorough investigation of the energy consumption profiling of Radio Resource Control (RRC) communication protocol between an NB-IoT radio transceiver and a cellular base-station. Using two different commercial off the shelf NB-IoT boards and two Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) NB-IoT test networks operational at Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia, we propose an empirical baseline energy consumption model. Based on comprehensive analyses of the profile traces from the widely used BG96 NB-IoT module operating in various states of RRC protocol, our results indicate that the proposed model accurately depicts the baseline energy consumption of an NB-IoT radio transceiver while operating at different coverage class levels. The evaluation errors for our proposed model vary between 0.33% and 15.38%.
Implementation of Unbalanced Thermoelectric Equivalent Circuit for Power Flow and Thermal Rating of Underground LV and MV Cables
Authors: Pompodakis Evangelos , Chrysochos Andreas I. , Ahmed Arif , Alexiadis Minas C.
Published: April 2021

This manuscript proposes a time-series temperature-dependent
power flow method for unbalanced distribution networks consisting of
underground cables. A thermal circuit model for unbalanced three-phase multi-core
cables is developed to estimate the conductor temperature and resistance of
Medium and Low Voltage distribution networks. More specifically, a novel
approach is proposed to model and estimate the parameters of the three-phase
thermal circuit of 3/4-core cables, using the results of Finite Element Method and
Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed approach is generic and can be
accurately applied to any kind of 3- or 4-core cables buried in homogeneous or
non-homogeneous soil. Furthermore, it is applicable in cases where one or more adjacent
cables exist. Using the proposed approach, the conductor temperature of each
phase can be individually and precisely calculated even in networks with highly
unbalanced loads. The proposed approach is expected to be an important tool for
simulating the steady state of unbalanced distribution networks and estimating
the conductor temperatures. The proposed thermal circuit is validated using two
4-core LV and one 3-core MV cables buried in different depths in homogeneous or
non-homogeneous soil. Time-series power flow for a whole year is performed in a
25-bus unbalanced LV network consisting of multicore underground cables.

Published: April 2021

Empat conto batubara dari daerah Muara Wahau telah diteliti untuk mengetahui karakteristik termal dengan pendekatan analisis pirolisis dan perangkat thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Perilaku termal ini dapat memberikan gambaran yang dialami oleh batubara selama proses pembatubaraan di alam, pembatubaraan buatan, salah satu proses yang terjadi pada gasifikasi batubara bawah tanah, pencairan batubara, dan lain-lain. Analisis proksimat, ultimat, dan petrografi batubara juga dilakukan untuk mengetahui komposisi bahan organik yang terkandung di dalamnya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa batubara Muara Wahau mempunyai komposisi maseral inertinit yang cukup bervariasi dari 6% hingga 18% (v/v). Analisis TGA menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kandungan maseral inertinit, penurunan massa conto secara umum semakin rendah. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa maseral inertinit cenderung tidak berevolusi selama proses pemanasan. Hasil ini memberikan implikasi bahwa batubara yang mengandung maseral inertinit kurang direkomendasikan untuk jenis pemanfaatan yang dipengaruhi oleh reaktivitas maseral seperti gasifikasi dan pencairan.

Pola Perbelanjaan Belia Melayu B40 dan M40 di Kuala Lumpur
Authors:   Universiti Malaya, Bukhari Nur Jannah , Kim Keum Hyun , Idris Aida , Md Yunus Marzudi
Published: April 2021

This study focuses on analyzing the spending patterns of youths from across the B40 and M40 income strata living in Kuala Lumpur. To achieve the objectives of this study, an analytical framework was developed that prioritizes needs. These needs include basic necessities, shelter and health, family, religious matters, and free time. The results of this study show that there is no significant difference between the two groups in terms of spending patterns. However, there is a difference in terms of priorities, which are led by the desire to guarantee survival in the city. Basic necessities, such as house ownership, feature as top topics in the discussion of expenditure, especially among lower and middle-income groups. However, the pricing of homes which renders them unattainable to these two groups, especially in the urban setting, results in expenses related to home purchases not being a main item in their spending patterns. This study highlights that the type of residence contributes to the shaping of the lifestyle and spending patterns of urban youth.

Authors:   International Islamic University Malaysia, Mohd Azizah , Hj Ibrahim Badruddin , Abd Rashid Siti Zainab
Published: April 2021

Under Islamic law, blood relatives from among hawashi (collateral kin) fall into the category of those who deserve nafaqah (maintenance), especially whenever they are in need or when they are incapable of maintaining themselves, while at the same time having relatives who are capable and well off. This research discusses maintenance for collateral relatives as an instrument to ensure continuous protection of relatives under Islamic law. The discussion includes the views of the fuqaha on maintenance to hawashi in Islam. It also reviews the basis for the responsibility to maintain relatives including relevant principles in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW, the discussion and views of contemporary fuqaha (Islamic jurists) on the extent of a person’s responsibility to maintain relatives. Further, this research also analyses the application of Islamic law in Malaysia in relation to one’s responsibility to maintain relatives. For the purpose of comparison, discussion will also include provisions of the law on maintenance for relatives in several Muslim countries. The research was conducted through library research and analysing the treatises of Muslim jurists, as well as the provisions of Islamic law on maintenance for collateral relatives. The findings of this research are deemed significant to improve the existing provisions on Islamic law relating to maintenance in Malaysia.
Pemerkasaan Pelaksanaan Sulh dalam Kes Tuntutan Hartanah Orang Islam di Mahkamah Syariah di Malaysia
Authors:   Universiti Malaya, Wan Adnan Wan Azimin , Buang Ahmad Hidayat
Published: April 2021

Sulh (settlement) has been used in Malaysia as an alternative to the litigation process since 2002. The Syariah courts face several challenges in carrying out sulh. The main cause of this challenge is limited jurisdiction in addition to other administrative issues. The present study was conducted with the objective to analyse the method of application of sulh concerning real estate in the Syariah courts. This study also suggests improvements to improve the application of sulh for case resolution in the Syariah courts. This is a qualitative study, whereby data was collected through library research and interviews with parties directly involved in the sulh process. The data collected, such as case judgments and interviews, was analysed using a descriptive content analysis. This study found that problems concerning the sulh process are the result of administrative issues, while legal challenges and limited jurisdiction do not have much impact on sulh implementation. This is because the courts use their discretion and implement sulh with flexibility in line with laws and regulations, as well as existing sulh procedures where necessary. Much depends on the commitment and skills of sulh officers who are trained and knowledgeable in legal and case management aspects. To avoid a clash between the rules and discretionary practices, some improvement measures are required. These improvements involve the revision and coordination of existing laws and sulh regulations. An implication of this this study is that it can help strengthen the application of sulh in matters concerning real estate in the Syariah courts, especially with the said improvements.

A Risk Analysis on Blockchain Technology Usage for Electronic Health Records
Authors: Ploder Christian , Teresa Spiess  , Reinhard Bernsteiner  , Thomas Dilger  , Rebecca Weichelt
Published: April 2021

Health data is one of the most valuable data and highly sensitive. Its careful handling is essential in today' s digitalized world and cloud technology use for sharing. Health Information Systems facilitate the storage and accessibility of health data for better care along the patient path. As the integration of all historical patient data, the Electronic Health Record is at the heart of health data management. The centralization of stored health data represents a single point of failure and trust, making data exchange across institutions difficult and insecure. Blockchain technology builds on consensus mechanisms and immutable chains of blocks for validating and securing data transactions as a modern decentralized approach. The application of blockchain technology for Electronic Health Records is promising but still a young concept. Due to the wide range of discussion, this paper aims at identifying risks by using blockchain technology in the eHealth sector. Based on a systematic literature review, various authors' argumentations and findings are examined and concluded to set up the empirical study. The semistructured qualitative interview study aims to find out the threats of blockchain. The paper concludes with an overall discussion and some implementation recommendations.
Decolonizing Religious Education to Enhance Sustainable Development in Africa: Evidence from Literature
Authors: Muasya Juliet Njeri
Published: April 2021

Decolonizing knowledge is the process of questioning, changing and transforming imposed theories and interpretations brought about by colonial systems. In particular, decolonizing Religious Education involves challenging religious systems and structures imposed by colonial masters. During the colonial period, religion was used as a tool of 'racism', 'apartheid' ‘indoctrination’, ‘evangelisation’ and ‘exploitation’, yet it is a subject that acknowledges and respects the diversity of African beliefs and culture. By decolonizing the Religious Education curriculum, the subject is likely to become a powerful tool for promoting sustainable development in Africa. In this paper, I argue that decolonized Religious Education is likely to contribute to development in Africa in a variety of ways; resolving conflict and peacebuilding, management and conservation of natural resources, in addition to promoting appropriate religious beliefs and moral values. I conclude this paper by presenting a rationale for the inclusion of a multi-faith Religious Education curriculum in Kenya, while decolonizing Religious Education pedagogical approaches, in order to actualise Kenya's Vision 2030 and Big Four Agenda of the Jubilee Government
