Projetando para o planeta: estamos fazendo o suficiente?
Authors: Franqueira Teresa 
Published: May 2022

Design has always expressed itself through its cultural intervention in society, accompanying or inducing technological innovation, changing behaviours and shaping the artificial world in which we live, imbuing it with new meaning and sensemaking.
Regarding design for social innovation, there is now a new wave of social innovations more concerned with the environment, with younger generations taking the lead and taking to action. And there is also a general perception that society and companies are more active and participatory in actions to defend the planet, but are designers following these changes?
Given the unpredictability of events and the speed of change, designers should be more proactive than never. Designers have the ability and capability of observing the world and finding solutions to problems, to anticipate other problems, and more importantly, to devise opportunities to innovate and avoid future problems. Are we doing enough?

Authors: Vallejo Peña Alberto , Ruiz Lorenzo Valeria 
Published: May 2022

España es, en la actualidad, uno de los países con la población más envejecida del mundo. En términos sociodemográficos hemos pasado a formar parte de la conocida como Europa envejecida. Nuestra alta esperanza de vida y la caída de la natalidad nos han conducido a este escenario, sin perspectivas de que esta tendencia cambie a corto plazo. El tiempo relativamente corto en el que se ha producido este despegue nos obliga ahora a afrontar una intensa planificación para corregir determinados desequilibrios sociales. Entre los problemas identificados destacan las dificultades en la adecuación de la vivienda para mayores que implicará la apuesta por estrategias residenciales eficaces
El objetivo del presente trabajo es abordar las principales necesidades y problemas sociales en materia de vivienda para personas mayores en España, así como las principales estrategias residenciales que emergen para afrontar tales circunstancias. Se pretende recoger las principales aportaciones de la literatura sobre estas cuestiones, generando así una herramienta que nos permita sustentar las posteriores propuestas metodológicas a aplicar dentro del Proyecto Propuestas y parámetros innovadores de compliance aplicados a la Domótica y acreditación de la adecuación de las viviendas de las personas mayores en Andalucía, referenciado abajo. El artículo, por lo tanto, concluye sintetizando los fundamentos teóricos que tales antecedentes sitúan como pilares y conductores del resto de las acciones del proyecto, así como la indicación de las técnicas de investigación a aplicar en las siguientes etapas.

Published: May 2022

In school, there are a lot of lesson, skills and experiences that may took place. It is inevitable to encounter unexpected certainties during class hours, especially during Physical Education classes. There are a lot of unexpected certainties like injuries that may took place, the latter may deprove the students in attaining the knowledge and skills they may acquired during their physical education classes. Moreover, it is the teacher's primary role to keep the students safe from any harm. Thus, this study aimed to assess the knowledge and readiness of Filipino Physical Educators in addressing injuries in Physical Education settings. This mixed-method sequential explanatory research considered twenty (20) physical educators of a state-funded higher education institution were selected for the quantitative phase. Four (4) of them were selected in the qualitative phase via extreme case sampling that measured their demographic profile, knowledge, readiness, and experiences in first aid management. Using the Pearson r test manifests a negative relationship between the variables of this study and the demographic profile of the respondents/participants. As per the results of the quantitative phase and the findings of the qualitataive phase this study delineates that the Physical Educators do have a sufficient level of knowledge and readiness in terms of addressing and responding to unexpected certainties that may took place on their respective physical education classes. Furthermore, it is recommended that Physical Educators must consider a variety of strategies to improve their knowledge and readiness in dealing with injuries. With this, further knowledge and information should be obtained to strengthen and enhance the knowledge and readiness they initially have.
Traffic optimization based on a macroscopic fundamental diagram in urban bizonal system
Authors: Jiang H. 
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The article considers the possibility of forming a traffic optimization strategy based on a macroscopic fundamental diagram between urban areas. The zones of influence are constructed with the maximum and minimum values of border control, respectively, according to the category of different types of the zone of influence. The stability zones were formed by connecting the zones of influence and their shape changes with different values of exogenous flow and endogenous flow were analysed.Materials and methods. The data on the traffic flow of the central part of the Jinan (PRC) road network are presented and an urban bizonal system is constructed using the obtained macroscopic fundamental diagrams. The modelling of the state of traffic flows was carried out and the regularity of their changes at different parameters of border control was obtained using the mathematical modelling MATLAB complex.Results. As a result of the study, the traffic management solutions were obtained for the relatively parameter of completed and incomplete trips. The generalized options for optimizing traffic in the considered urban areas are proposed – four combinations of strategies for traffic management are performed serving the design optimization option with different traffic flow conditions.Discussion and conclusions. For each multi-zone system of the road network, it is necessary to form its own characteristic variant of optimizing the traffic flow.
Protection against progressive collapse of buildings with precast reinforced concrete floors
Authors: Krasnoshchekov Yu. V. 
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The results of the studies analysis on the protection of multi-storey buildings from progressive collapse are presented, which indicates insufficient attention to structural systems made of precast reinforced concrete, as a result of which design standards orient the designer to the use of not always effective monolithic structures. In particular, the problem of protection against progressive collapse with the exclusion of prefabricated crossbars of floors and coatings has not been practically studied. The purpose of the study is to develop a method for calculating a continuous system of hollow plates made by the method of formless molding.Materials and methods. When designing the protection of multi-storey buildings from prefabricated elements, a static calculation is usually carried out with the exception of vertical structures (walls, columns) and the reinforcement of floor crossbars and coatings by ensuring their continuity. There are constructive methods of reinforcing prefabricated floors by creating continuous plates of adjacent spans with the help of connecting elements made of plastic reinforcing steel, but the calculation of such systems has not been developed. A method for calculating a system of two plates according to a rigid thread scheme is proposed.Conclusions. Currently, theoretical methods have been developed to solve various problems of protecting buildings and structures from progressive collapse. However, there are many design requirements for the protection of multistorey buildings from progressive collapse, which have not yet received experimental and theoretical confirmation for the effective solution of practical problems. It seems that in this article one of these problems is partially solved.
Concrete as a factor in reinforced concrete buildings collapse in Burundi
Authors: Mikerego E. , Ndikumana J. 
Published: May 2022

Introduction. This paper presents the results of the assessment in-situ of the involvement of the concrete in the collapse of reinforced concrete buildings in Burundi.Materials and Methods. The study consisted in the identification of the compressive strengths of the concrete structural elements of the reinforced concrete buildings under study. The compressive strengths were identified on the columns, beams and slabs using an industrial SCHMIDT 2000 sclerometer according to the protocol described in NF EN 12504-2(2003). Seventeen (17) three-storey buildings under construction were studied. For each building involved in the study, the reinforced concrete bearing elements of the first floor were studied. The results obtained were classified according to the cement grades (32.5) and (42.5) that were used in the studied buildings. A comparison of the compressive strengths obtained in-situ was established in relation to the normative values according to the cement grade used. The reliability of the obtained results was confirmed by the correlation between the results obtained in the laboratory conditions on the reinforced concrete experimental samples.Results. This study showed that in Burundi up to 100% of collapses are caused by privately built structures. It was proved that the compressive strengths of 100% of the columns, 82% of the beams and 82% of the slabs that were made with a low-grade cement (32.5) had compressive strengths lower than the normative value (25MPa). In addition, the compressive strengths of 50% of the columns, 50% of the beams and 84% of the slabs made with a high-grade cement (42.5) were also proved to have compressive strengths lower than the normative values (35MPa).Discussion and conclusion. In this study, the reliability of the results obtained by sclerometer test in-situ on the reinforced concrete buildings has been proved. Concrete has been shown to be a factor in the collapse of privately built reinforced concrete buildings in Burundi. Low-grade cement was observed to have a high impact in the collapse of reinforced concrete structures than the high-grade one. Therefore, as a recommendation, the process of building reinforced concrete buildings in Burundi needs to be regulated and controlled.

Published: May 2022

Purpose: The local peace actors, including poets, play an important role in promoting peace in a conflict context. In this vein, this study aims to investigate the role of local poets in promoting peace in the conflict-affected communities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Methodology: A qualitative inquiry was conducted in one of the Districts of former FATA, namely Bajaour. During fieldwork, fifty in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants, including poets, journalists, teachers, writers, and traditional peacebuilders.
Findings: Thematic analysis revealed four major themes of local poets' role in promoting peace. These themes are; firstly, the poets highlighted the miseries of the conflict situation in their poetry. Secondly, they attempted to give voice to the sighs of oppressed and voiceless people. Thirdly, they resisted the increasing oppression. Finally, they preached peace and resisted violence
Implications: It is concluded that poetry is an effective tool for promoting peace which should be used by peacebuilding organizations and government agencies working for peace in a conflict context.
Analysis of Vertically Oriented Coupled Shear Wall Interconnected with Coupling Beams
Authors: Singh Vikram , Sangle Keshav 
Published: May 2022

The nonlinear static response of a vertically oriented coupled wall subjected to horizontal loading is presented in this research article. The 3 storey vertically oriented coupled wall interconnected with coupling beams is modelled as solid elements in a finite element (FE) software named Abaqus CAE and the steel reinforcement is modelled as a wire element. For simulation of concrete models, a concrete damaged plasticity constitutive model is taken into consideration in this research. Moreover, with the help of concrete damage plasticity parameters, validation of two rectangular planar walls was executed with an error of less than 10 percent. Finally, these parameters are used for modeling and analyzing the static behavior of coupled walls connected with coupling beams. Furthermore, the maximum unidirectional horizontal loading helped in obtaining the compression and tensile damage as well as scalar stiffness degradation. Significantly, the research also found the plastic hinge location in the coupled wall as well as in the coupling beam, which are of utmost importance in nonlinear analysis.

Известной проблемой при проектировании подводных транспортных магистралей является прогноз русловых процессов на долгосрочную перспективу. Моделирование транспорта наносов и развития донных деформаций в руслах рек и окрестности гидротехнических сооружений как на физических, так и на численных моделях относится к одной из наиболее сложных и спорных областей гидравлики открытых потоков. Авторами предложено решение задачи долгосрочного прогноза развития русловых деформаций на участке реки Амур в районе расположения основной и резервной ниток подводного перехода магистрального трубопровода Восточная Сибирь - Тихий океан на основе математического моделирования задач гидродинамики и литодинамики в трехмерной постановке. Представлено описание используемой численной модели, учитывающей оползание подводных откосов, закрепленные (ремонтные) участки дна, взвешенные и влекомые наносы. Приводится информация о методике проведения калибровки и валидации численной модели на натурных данных. Обоснован выбор формулы расчета удельного транспорта влекомых наносов, которые имеют определяющее влияние на интенсивность и направленность развития русловых процессов. Приведены сведения, обосновывающие необходимое и достаточное количество слоев многослойной численной модели и размер расчетной ячейки. Расчетный алгоритм реализован на графическом акселераторе GPU, что позволяет за приемлемое время выполнять качественный прогноз деформаций русла на перспективу.
Forecast of river bed evolution for the long run is a well-known problem when designing underwater major transport arteries. Simulation of sediment transportation and ground strains development in river beds and vicinities of off-shore structures based on both physical and numerical models is referred to one of the most complicated and disputable areas of open-channel hydraulics. The authors offer a solution of the long-term forecast problem for riverbed strains in the Amur River reach in the area, where the main and standby lines of trunk line submerged crossing “Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean” are located, based on mathematical simulation of hydrodynamics and litho-dynamics problems in three-dimensional statement. Description of the used numerical model is presented; the model considers sliding of underwater slopes, fastened (repair) riverbed areas, suspended and bed load deposits. Information on the numerical model calibration and validation in full scale data is given. Selection of a formula for calculation of specific bed load sediments transportation, which have controlling influence on intensity and direction of river bed evolutions development, is justified. Information, which justifies necessary and sufficient quantity of layers of the multilayer numerical model and computational cell size, is given. The computational algorithm is realized on a graphical accelerator GPU, which permits to perform high-quality long-term forecast of river bed strains.
