Compact Single-Family Housing Generated by Parametric Design – Search for Optimal, Sustainable or Smart Densities
Authors: BRADECKI Tomasz , KĄTNY Dawid 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Single-family housing – the form of residential buildings expected by the society is often inconsistent with the theoretical optimum form of housing that is recommended in urban theories and ideas. Research indicates that most Poles want single-family housing, while its density is low in comparison with multi-family housing which provides a more compact city. The paper identifies the thesis to what degree it is possible to develop a compact city with single-family housing. The authors verify how parametric design may be useful in urban design and spatial planning. The purpose of the article is to discuss the possibility to generate single-family housing estates’ projects using the parametric tool of the Grasshopper program. The authors demonstrate how parameter tool-supported designing may be useful for better effectiveness of using space. The research used a script by Dawid Kątny, developed for the purposes of his diploma thesis, in which he attempted parametric variants and optimization. The paper describes the issue of “density vs quality of life” in quantitative terms. Quantitative density variants can be used in analysis for future smart and intelligent cities’ development.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
The paper presents a method developed and improved over many years (since 1982) by a team of researchers of the Faculty of Architecture of Wrocław University of Science and Technology for elaborating on guidelines for the conservation of cultural landscape areas. Thanks to systematic research – studies of the past changes to the landscape and analyses of the current state of affairs – they enable a synthesis of the whole spectrum of conservation protection and revalorisation problems of the area under development. They provide an appropriate basis for the preparation of planning documents. The use of their content is facilitated by an unambiguous, precise and easy-to-read graphical presentation. Currently, the technique of preparing conservation guidelines in their entirety or in certain selected aspects is applied by all graduates of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in works requiring analysis of fragments of the cultural landscape.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
This paper presents the results of unconfined compressive strength tests carried out on samples of two different fine grained soils mixed with anthropogenic materials produced in Poland, showing binding properties – cement kiln dust and fly ash obtained from combustion of brown coal in a pulverized boiler. The tests were performed on cylindrical samples in a testing machine for compression tests after various curing time ranging from 1 to 8 weeks. The conducted work constitutes the first stage of research devoted to the recognition of the effects of calcareous fly ash and cement kiln dust addition into the fine grained soils.

Abstract
The paper presents a method of shaping and describing the geometry of bipolarly prestressed closely spaced built-up member with symmetrical supports and a bisymmetrical cross-section. The following has been defined as a function dependant on the position along the length of the x section of the closely spaced built-up member with determined geometrical parameters: intial elastic y

in the clear and the geometric characteristics of a single chord section were assumed. A full and correct description of the geometry of bipolarly prestressed closely spaced built-up members is necessary to start the static and stress analysis. As a result of the introduction of a bipolar displacement prestressing into the closely spaced built-up member, the moment of inertia increases in the middle part with respect to the non-material axis z. It allows predicting the increase of the critical load bearing capacity of the closely spaced built-up member. The load bearing capacity of bipolarly prestressed closely spaced built-up members was estimated using the modified Engesser’s formula for two-chord closely spaced built-up member with rigid battens. For selected pair of channel sections, the analytical critical load estimation results were verified using FEM.
Best Available Technologies for Waste Co-Firing Applications
Authors: WYKA Krzysztof , SKOREK-OSIKOWSKA Anna 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Thermal transformation of waste is one way in which the negative impact of human activities on the environment can be reduced. Thermal waste treatment is generally negatively associated by the public as hazardous and harmful to the environment. In this study the authors present the possibility of waste management in the process of co-firing with coal using BAT (Best Available Techniques) for both the combustion process and the exhaust gas purification process. Co-firing of coal with RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) while ensuring stable production of electricity and heat supports the process of waste management which, if not burned, will end up in landfills, which, according to the authors, is the worst possible way to handle waste both from the point of view of environmental protection itself and from the point of view of energy efficiency.
Future approaches for sewer system condition assessment

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Different analytical approaches exist to describe the structural substance or wear reserve of sewer systems. The aim is to convert engineering assessments of often complex defect patterns into computational algorithms and determine a substance class for a sewer section or manhole. This analytically determined information is essential for strategic rehabilitation planning processes up to network level, as it corresponds to the most appropriate rehabilitation type and can thus provide decision-making support. Current calculation methods differ clearly from each other in parts, so that substance classes determined by the different approaches are only partially comparable with each other. The objective of the German R&D cooperation project ‘SubKanS’ is to develop a methodology for classifying the specific defect patterns resulting from the interaction of all the individual defects, and their severities and locations. The methodology takes into account the structural substance of sewer sections and manholes, based on real data and theoretical considerations analogous to the condition classification of individual defects. The result is a catalogue of defect patterns and characteristics, as well as associated structural substance classifications of sewer systems (substance classes). The methodology for sewer system substance classification is developed so that the classification of individual defects can be transferred into a substance class of the sewer section or manhole, eventually taking into account further information (e.g. pipe material, nominal diameter, etc.). The result is a validated methodology for automated sewer system substance classification.
Uniform flow and energy dissipation of hydraulic-jump-stepped spillways
Authors: Zhou Yu , Wu Jianhua , Ma Fei , Hu Jianyong 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
In skimming flow, a uniform flow can be achieved and the flow depth, velocity and air concentration remain constant if a stepped spillway is sufficiently long. In this study, physical model experiments were performed to investigate the uniform characteristics and energy dissipation of a hydraulic-jump-stepped spillway, which is a new type of stepped spillway for increasing the unit discharge capacity and energy dissipation. Based on the redefinition of uniform flow, experimental results show that at a given stepped spillway slope, a smaller height for the beginning of the uniform flow region, a greater uniform aerated flow depth and a greater uniform equivalent clear water flow depth can be obtained as compared with the traditional stepped spillway due to strong aeration in the aeration basin. Under the condition of uniform flow, the energy dissipation rate of stepped spillways can be estimated by the equivalent clear water flow depth with given inflow conditions. Compared with the traditional stepped spillway, the uniform flow over the hydraulic-jump-stepped spillway has a smaller specific energy, revealing that the hydraulic-jump-stepped spillway is more advantageous for dissipating energy, especially at large unit discharges.

Published: April 2020

AbstractAs a holy book, al-Qur'an has function as a law and a way of life for Muslims. In this context, Muslims in modern times have problem in understanding the whole contents of the Qur’an. Therefore, exegetes formulate a method of understanding the Qur'an in line with certain themes or so-called the Maudlu'i interpretation method. This article aims to describe the Maudlu'i interpretation, the problems of the Maudlu'i interpretation, and examples of the Maudlu'i interpretation. This literature review use descriptive qualitative method. The results of the study indicate that the interpretation of Maudlu'i is a method of interpretation that seeks to explain the contents of the Qur'an based on a particular theme. There are three focuses of Maudlu'i interpretation that developed in the 20th century, namely the Maudlu'i method of interpretation which focuses on terminology, the Maudlu'i method of interpretation which focuses on themes or topics in the Qur’an, and the Maudlu'i method of interpretation which focuses on one particular chapter in the Qur’an. Regardless of the dynamics of strengths and weaknesses, Maudlu'i interpretation is more suitable with the living conditions of modern-day Muslims. This study reveal that the Maudlu'i method of interpretation plays an important role in understanding the content of the Qur'an. AbstrakSebagai kitab suci, al-Qur’an berfungsi sebagai undang-undang dan pedoman hidup umat Islam. Dalam konteks ini, umat Islam pada zaman modern seringkali kesulitan dalam memahami isi al-Qur’an secara keseluruhan. Oleh karena itu, para ahli tafsir kemudian merumuskan sebuah metode memahami al-Qur’an sesuai dengan tema-tema tertentu atau yang disebut sebagai metode tafsir Maudlu’i. Artikel ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan tentang Tafsir Maudlu’i, problematika tafsir Maudlu’i, dan contoh tafsir maudlu’i. Kajian pustaka ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa tafsir Maudlu’i merupakan metode tafsir yang berusaha menjelaskan isi kandungan al-Qur’an berdasarkan tema tertentu. Metode tafsir yang berkembang pada abad 20 tersebut dibagi menjadi 3 kategori, yaitu tafsir maudlu’i yang fokus pada terminologi, tafir maudlu’i yang fokus pada tema atau topik dalam al-Qur’an, dan tafsir maudlu’i yang fokus pada satu surat tertentu dalam al-Qur’an. Terlepas dari dinamika kelebihan dan kekurangannya, tafsir Maudlu’i lebih sesuai dengan kondisi kehidupan umat Islam zaman modern ini. Hasil kajian menyimpulkan bahwa metode tafsir Mau’dlu’i memiliki peran penting dalam memahami isi kandungan al-Qur’an. Kata Kunci: Metode Mauḍu’ī, Tafsir dan Aplikatif.

Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study was to analyze cosmetics purchasing decisions by consumers with consideration of halal labels or product quality where brand image as an intervening variable. This study uses quantitative methods with confirmatory objectives. Questionnaires are distributed using a purposive sampling method for 400 respondents in several villages throughout Indonesia. The results showed that the halal label significantly influenced brand image and purchasing decisions. Product quality affects brand image but has no impact on purchasing decisions. Meanwhile, brand image has a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The research implications show that for rural communities, promotion of halal cosmetics is more useful for driving purchasing decisions compared to the quality of cosmetic products.
From Performance to Performativity: The Christchurch Mosque Murders and What Came After
Authors: Mazer Sharon 
Published: April 2020

On Friday 15th March 2019, a white Australian man armed with assault weapons attacked Muslim worshippers at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. Fifty-one people were murdered. Another 49 were injured. Families and their communities were devastated. Almost a year later, they are evermore deeply into the hard, impossibly sad process of recovery. The city of Christchurch, still reeling from the catastrophic earthquakes of 2010-2011, took the blow to its determinedly imperturbable façade hard, but is now moving on. Aotearoa New Zealand likewise. Staged as a series of performances, the attack and its aftermath were also acutely performative. The gunman transmitted the images and sounds of his white-supremacist-fuelled, assault-weaponized violence via livestream on Facebook: himself the protagonist, his victims the unwitting antagonists in a filmed performance for an unseen audience. In response, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern immediately took centre-stage: meeting the media, comforting the victims, commending the first responders, and leading two commemorative events on public platforms set up in the park across from Masjid Al Noor, the primary target. There were other, more ad hoc, performances, too, including haka (ritual chant/dance) by school groups, gang members and other odd individuals in front of Masjid Al Noor. Almost immediately after the mosque murders, plans for films, television specials and serials, and theatre performances began proliferating exponentially. This essay reflects on questions of performance and performativity in the wake of the mosque murders.

Microclima e Conforto Térmico na Área da Mata da Bica no Município de Portalegre/RN
Authors: Silveira Iáskara Michelly de Medeiros , Carvalho Rodrigo Guimarães de 
Published: April 2020

A cidade de Portalegre, localizada na Região Oeste do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, está situada no topo de uma serra com cerca de 650 m de altitude. O relevo justifica uma condição climática de excepcionalidade ao contexto geral do semiárido, com chuvas mais abundantes e uma temperatura mais amena. As condições ambientais tornam-se mais singulares devido à presença de brejos de altitude, sendo o mais conhecido deles a Mata da Bica, que se localiza no entorno da área urbana. A área do brejo foi transformada em um Terminal Turístico e mantém uma mata arbórea, uma nascente com espelho d’água e uma bica. A problemática desta pesquisa é compreender se na Mata da Bica, as condições de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar são mais confortáveis em função da manutenção da cobertura vegetal e se esse serviço ambiental é um motivador da visitação. Foram realizadas duas coletas de dados para monitoramento da temperatura e da umidade durante 24 h em três pontos com coberturas do solo diferentes: o ponto 1 na Mata da Bica; o ponto 2 na área urbana; e o ponto 3 na zona rural. Junto a isso, foi verificada a opinião da população quanto ao conforto térmico na Mata da Bica e na área urbana. Confirmando a hipótese da pesquisa, a área de menor temperatura e maior conforto térmico foi a Mata da Bica, e obteve-se a indicação de que a condição climática do local é um dos serviços ambientais responsáveis pela atração turística. A B S T R A C T The city of Portalegre, located in the West Region of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, is on the top of an approximately 650 m altitude scarp. The relief justifies a weather condition of exceptionality to the general semi-arid context, with more abundant rains and milder temperatures. Environmental conditions become more peculiar due to the presence of high altitude marshes, being Mata da Bica the best-known, located in the surroundings of the urban zone of Portalegre. The marsh area was transformed into a Tourist Terminal. It features an arboreal, a spring with water surface and a water fountain. This research aims to understand if, at Mata da Bica, the temperature and air relative humidity conditions are more comfortable depending on the maintenance of the plant cover and if this environmental service motivates visitation. Two data collections were conducted to monitor the temperature and humidity for 24 h on three areas with different ground covers: area 1 at Mata da Bica; area 2 in the urban zone; and area 3 in the rural zone. The data collected were analyzed, and the opinion of the population was verified regarding thermal comfort at Mata da Bica and in the urban zone. As expected, the area with the lowest temperature and highest thermal comfort was Mata da Bica, and it was also confirmed that the weather is one of the environmental services responsible for tourist attraction. Key words: Thermal comfort. Environmental service. Urban climate.
