Action Research for sustainability: co-creation overcoming fragmentation in multidisciplinary design teams
Authors: Grosse E , Femenias P 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Sustainable transitions are challenging management and leadership in architectural practice. As means to overcome fragmentation and drive for sustainability, co-creation has become an emerging trend in construction management research and architectural practice. The early ‘fuzzy’ phase of projects has been identified as of great importance to integrate multidisciplinary perspectives in the design. With action research in architectural practice, three perspectives of co-creation processes were explored to achieve an integrated sustainable design. The experiences are reflected upon, in-action and in retrospect, and through the FfC framework (Framework for Co-designing), the paper contributes with new insight on success/advantage of co-creation processes for sustainable design. Such advantages include the integration of multidisciplinary competences, the creation of stakeholder value and engagement in early phase construction. Further, action research, and especially Gestalt practice and theory, brought a new relational approach to co-creation processes in early design. The architect, in the new role as ‘knowledge-process designer’, shifts focus towards designing interaction instead of artefacts, and thus contributes to SDG 17-Partnerships. The contribution to practice was twofold; 1) a new digital participatory design tool; 2) an innovative sustainable design solution for urban resilience supporting SDGs 11-Sustianable cities, 3-Health, and 14-Climate.
Vitality Housing – A Total Solution to Service Transitional Social Housing in Hong Kong
Authors: Lo T , Lee K , Rose E , Seo B , Au I 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In Hong Kong, about two percent of the population lives in squalid, overcrowded housing. Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) advocate that Transitional Social Housing (TSH), which broke the dichotomous housing supply (public vs. private) and can promote changes in Hong Kong’s housing system, should be built to provide better quality shelters and supportive services to the underserved group. Scale of economy, efficiency, affordability and sustainability are all keys for success for the TSH program. In this regard, the paper proposes a beacon TSH service model called ‘Vitality Housing’ as a total solution to equip NGOs with the necessary knowledge to operate and deliver large scale of TSH in Hong Kong. The model suggests: (i) engaging NGOs in design processes to incorporate their needs, (ii) working with design, construction and housing management professionals to adopt cutting-edge technology to reduce life cycle costs, and expediting the TSH delivery, (iii) partnering with asset managers to develop a sustainable financing model for TSH development, and (iv) using a knowledge sharing platform to transfer property development and management knowledge to the NGOs. This model can help local NGOs to learn more efficient approaches to operating TSH based on their expertise in providing social services for the poor.

Authors: Qumbisa N M R , Emuze F , Smallwood J 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Issues concerning finance and project delivery capabilities have remained as the main barriers to the successful implementation of pro-urban poor housing strategies. One such strategy is the initiation of group saving schemes. Based on a review of the Federation of the Urban Poor (FEDUP) within the South African context, the performance of this strategy was appraised while exploring the potential of using Capability Maturity Models to improve levels of performance. A qualitative research approach for data collection, analysis and presentation was used for this study. The data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, structured observations, household surveys and a focus group discussion. The participants in the study included stakeholders of the FEDUP Scheme, which included project managers from FEDUP and the project developers and beneficiaries of the model. Results exemplified how the FEDUP Group Savings Scheme Model could enhance the current, unsustainable, public housing delivery mechanisms. Therefore, the study has the potential to improve the performance of all group savings scheme models used to consolidate housing.
What does energy mean for people? Perspectives on renovation and energy retrofit among Swedish tenants
Authors: Femenías P. , Knutsson A. , Jonsdotter L. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The study reports from an on-going study of tenants’ view on energy retrofit. The first results, which are based on 27 qualitative interviews show a generally positive attitude to energy saving and environmental protection. However, many tenants are not familiar with the link between energy use and energy retrofit, and the idea of energy saving might oppose to the actual willingness to contribute. One important lesson from these preliminary results is that the project owners have overlooked the importance of informing the tenants about the energy retrofit and what measures that are implemented. This leaves the tenants to their own interpretation of the matter and in some examples a negative image is created. In order to transition from the idea of personal benefit from energy retrofit to a larger responsibility and willingness to participate to society at large, we suggest that tenants are invited to discuss energy retrofit and that they are properly informed about implemented energy saving measures.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Preservation is the act of preserving to keep, maintain, and conserve microbial strains to ensure their optimal viability and genetic stability. A wide variety of preservation techniques are available for preserving filamentous fungi. Most of the metabolically inactive preservation, such as freezing, cryopreservation, lyophilization, or L-drying, is widely accepted for long-term preservation of filamentous fungi with minimum viability loss and genetic changes. This study determined the viability and effectiveness of freezing or cryopreservation method in a fungal assemblage from the Indonesian Culture Collection (InaCC). The viability and growth rate of 40 fungal strains from InaCC were tested after three years of storage in the electric deep freezer (-80°C with 10% glycerol and 5% trehalose as cryoprotectant). The results showed that 95% of the observed strains could maintain their viability and growth rate after cryopreserved and storage for more than three years at -80°C. However, 5% of them showed a low growth rate and loss of viability. It was concluded that the cryopreservation technique by freezing at -80°C is suitable to maintain the viability of filamentous fungal cultures.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Providing a sensible breeding stock of predatory mites for a biological control system is important. For this purpose, the predatory mites need high feeding capacity on every stage of pest mites and high survival rates on alternative food. This research aimed at testing the predation capacity of P. crinitus on each stage of development of pest mites T. urticae, and investigating appropriate alternative food for laboratory rearing of predatory mites P. crinitus. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this research. For investigating the predation capacity of P. crinitus, we performed 20 experiments consisted of treatments with eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults of T. urticae, with five replicates. The variable for these experiments was the number of individuals of each stage of T. urticae consumed by P. crinitus during the period of 24. For investigating the proper alternative food for predatory mites, P. crinitus were given a free choice between pollen of Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd and pollen of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L, with six replicates. The variables of survival rate, facundity, duration of oviposition, and the length of the life cycle of P. crinitus were recorded for each alternative food. All experiments were conducted in room temperatures (-) and rH (-). The data were analyzed using the F test and followed by Least Significant Difference (LSD) with error levels of 5% and 1%. The results indicated that predatory mites P. crinitus consumed eggs more than other developmental stages of T. urticae. In terms of alternative food, the pollen of Euphorbia pulcherrima was more suitable for laboratory mass rearing of P. crinitus.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Sugar is a phagostimulant component of cockroaches bait. Knowledge of the chemosensory response of German cockroaches to sugar is necessary to design bait formulations. This study was aimed to determine the behavior of sugar selection by German cockroaches, based on latency parameters toward the bait. Observation methods were done using behavior sampling with CCTV cameras. Observations were made on fifteen mixed-sex from VCRU, BKL, PDG, JKT-b, and PKU-b strains with the treatment of plain agar and agar containing four types of sugar i.e., glucose, fructose, sucrose, and maltose with a concentration of 1 M each. The observation was carried out for 12 hours. Data were analyzed using Two-way ANOVA followed by the Duncan test for p<0.05. Correlation between sugar and latency was analyzed with redundancy analysis. The result showed that the treatment but not the strain influenced the behavior of latency. The VCRU, BKL, PDG, and JKT-b strain were showed the fastest latency toward maltose and sucrose, while the PKU-b strain was toward plain agar. There was a strong correlation between sugar and latency for 0.77 (axis 1) and 0.61 (axis 2), with a total variance of 89.7% resulted from the redundancy analysis. Those indicate that the German cockroaches perform the sugar selection with a preference of maltose, and sucrose is more stimulating than glucose and fructose.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
There was a degraded ecosystem and an affected decreasing nekton and microbenthos at River Pelus. So far, no publication of macrobenthos is available. The research purpose was to map species richness and longitudinal distribution of macrobenthos. The survey method was taken with stratified random sampling in eight stations and five replicates from May to July 2018. The result showed ten species of macrobenthos. All species belonged to class Malacostraca (four species) and Gastropoda (six species). Of the four species collected in all replicates, Macrobrachium oenone categorized as an indicator species that only lived in Station II because there were a boulder substrate and good water quality. In the same class, M. pilimanus, Parathelpusa bogoriensis, and P. convexa were in all stations except station V because there was a sand substrate and poor water quality. In station V, there were only two species of gastropod, Melanoides riquerti and Pomacea canaliculata that could live. In general, there were a cosmopolitan species that could live in all substrates and water quality such asM. riquerti. For a longitudinal distribution map, there was a unique tendency of decreasing species richness numbers due to the river weir.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Daun dewa (Gynura pseudochina) is a potential producer of a medicinally active compound. Several active compounds contained were steroid, saponin, flavonoid, tannin, and essential oils. The benefit of G. pseudochina as medicine includes anticoagulant (prevent blood clot) and blood liquefaction. The use of zeolite and sand as substrates in this study shall give information about the active compound in the plant. Thus, the objectives of this study were to know the effect of substrate towards the active compound and flavonoid contents, also to determine the effective substrate that leads to the higher activity of antioxidant and flavonoid contents in G. pseudochina. This study used an experimental method with a two-factor factorial, completely randomized design. The first factor was substrates, consist of zeolite and sand substrates. The second factor was the treatment of humic acid concentrations, 0 g/kg; 4g/kg; 8 g/kg; 12g/kg. There were a total of 24 units of experiment, which consist of 8 combinations of treatments with three replications each. The result showed that both zeolite and sand substrates affected the growth and antioxidant activity of G. pseudochina. Zeolite substrate enhanced the antioxidant activity, yet it did not increase the growth. Meanwhile, the sand substrate increased growth. The treatment of 8 g/kg humic acid in a zeolite substrate enhanced the antioxidant activity. The treatment of humic acid in both zeolite and sand substrates could be used to improve the growth and antioxidant activity in G. pseudochina.

Abstract
Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC) is an alternative food source that can be cultivated optimally. The application of mutation techniques on winged bean can provide genetic variations and have an essential role in the agricultural industry, especially in the assembly of superior cultivars. This research aimed to determine the anatomical response and chlorophyll content of winged plants undergoing mutations due to Cobalt 60 gamma-ray radiation and finding out the differences in the anatomical character between mutated and unmutated winged leaves. The experiments used a factorial, Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The factor I was winged plants and factor II was the concentration of Cobalt 60 radiation (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 grays), each with 5 replicates. The results showed that the Cobalt 60 gamma-ray radiation increased the cuticle and leaf mesophyll thickness, but decreased the stomatal length and density of winged leaves. Cobalt 60 ray radiation affects the chlorophyll content of winged leaves. The total chlorophyll content has increased significantly, followed by an increase in the amount of gamma-ray radiation. The exposure radiation time of 40 minutes gives a response of high anatomical character and chlorophyll content than the exposure for 20 minutes.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Liyangan buries some artifacts in volcanic sediment, including pollens. Reconstructing ancient plant diversity requires good quality in an adequate amount of genomic DNA from fossilized pollen. The current study was aimed to separate pollens from their sediment and extract the pollens. The separation was done according to different protocols (BALAR’s and Geology’s), DNAs were extracted by applying modified-CTAB and mini Genomic DNA Mini Kit. Current data showed the two separation and extraction protocols were able to separate fossilized pollens and so to extract them. The BALAR method combined with CTAB resulted in 314µg/ml to 887µg/ml while a lower amount of 382µg/ml to 852µg/ml were obtained when extracted by DNA Mini Kit. The Geology protocol combined with CTAB resulted in even lower concentrations (43µg/ml to 230µg/ml); and 22 µg/ml to 216 µg/ml by DNA Mini Kit. The BALAR’s protocol performed a better result in separating fossilized pollens from other materials. Both extraction methods resulted in an adequate amount of genomic DNA, although in quite low quality.
