description: Forest models are tools for explaining and predicting the dynamics of forest ecosystems. They simulate forest behavior by integrating information on the underlying processes in trees, soil and atmosphere.
Bayesian calibration is the application of probability theory to parameter estimation. It is a method, applicable to all models, that quantifies output uncertainty and identifies key parameters and variables. This study aims at testing the Bayesian procedure for calibration to different types of forest models, to evaluate their performances and the uncertainties associated with them. In particular,we aimed at 1) applying a Bayesian framework to calibrate forest models and test their performances in different biomes and different environmental conditions, 2) identifying and solve structure-related issues in simple models, and 3) identifying the advantages of additional information made available when calibrating forest models with a Bayesian approach.
We applied the Bayesian framework to calibrate  the Prelued model on eight Italian eddy-covariance sites in Chapter 2. The ability of Prelued to reproduce the estimated Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) was tested over contrasting natural vegetation types that represented a wide range of climatic and environmental conditions.
The issues related to Prelued's multiplicative structure were the main topic of Chapter 3: several different MCMC-based procedures were applied within a Bayesian framework to calibrate the model, and their performances were compared.
A more complex model was applied in Chapter 4, focusing on the application of the physiology-based model HYDRALL to the forest ecosystem of Lavarone (IT) to evaluate the importance of additional information in the calibration procedure and their impact on model performances, model uncertainties, and parameter estimation.
Overall, the Bayesian technique proved to be an excellent and versatile tool to successfully calibrate forest models of different structure and complexity, on different kind and number of variables and with a different number of parameters involved.

description: Research Background: Architect Victoria is Journal of the Australian Institute of Architects Victoria Chapter. It commissions thematic Guest Edited Special Issues on topics relevant to contemporary practice concerns. The Summer 2015 Special Issue Guest Edited by Jane Firkin focused on the Adaptive Reuse of C20th Modernist buildings. I was commissioned to contribute an essay on theoretical frameworks and educational models for undertaking adaptive reuse.
Research Contribution: The article made a theoretical critique of the Cartesian bias in modernist ideology for architectural autonomy which effectively precluded alterations as a sanctioned practice in the C20th. It outlined the design approaches of an alternative lineage of local and international alteration precedent. It documented my architectural educational strategies for encouraging students to confront the Modernist bias against additions through a design studio teaching framework where students design alterations to iconic and characteristic C20th modernist buildings.
Research Significance: The adaptive reuse of aging Modernist buildings is an environmental, cultural, economic and ethical necessity. This article provides a critical and educational framework to support and enhance this neglected area of architectural design practice. The Architect Victoria Journal is the document of record of the Australian Institute of Architects Vic Chapter. Thematic Special Issues are highly regarded topical and relevant professional publications and Guest Editorships are competitively appointed. An invitation to contribute is a significant professional acknowledgement. Other respected contributors to this Issue included Rob Adams, Director City Design, City of Melbourne, Breathe Architecture, an award winning Melbourne practice and the Victorian Chapter Heritage Committee.

description: Background: Settings throughout Canada and the USA continue to experience crises of overdose death due to the toxic unregulated drug supply. Injecting drugs alone limits the potential for intervention and has accounted for a significant proportion of overdose deaths, yet the practice remains understudied. We sought to examine the practice of injecting alone among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Vancouver, Canada. Methods Data were derived from two prospective cohorts of people who use drugs between June 2016 and November 2018. This analysis was restricted to participants who, in the previous 6 months, reported any injection drug use. Rates of injecting alone were categorized as always, usually, sometimes, or occasionally. We fit a multivariable generalized linear mixed model to identify factors associated with injecting drugs alone. Results Among 1070 PWID who contributed 3307 observations, 931 (87%) reported injecting alone at least once during the study period. In total, there were 729 (22%) reports of always injecting alone, 722 (21.8%) usually, 471 (14.2%) sometimes, 513 (15.5%) occasionally, and 872 (26.4%) never. In a multivariable model, factors positively associated with injecting drugs alone included male sex (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20–2.37), residence in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood (AOR 1.43; 95% CI 1.08–1.91), binge drug use (AOR 1.36; 95% CI 1.08–1.72), and experiencing physical or sexual violence or both (AOR 1.43; 95% CI 1.00–2.03). Protective factors included Indigenous ancestry (AOR 0.71; 95% CI 0.52–0.98) and being in a relationship (AOR 0.30; 95% CI 0.23–0.39). Conclusion We observed that injecting alone, a key risk for overdose mortality, was common among PWID in Vancouver. Our findings underline the need for additional overdose prevention measures that are gender-specific, culturally appropriate, violence- and trauma-informed, and available to those who inject alone.

description: Accurately identifying weeds in crop fields is key to achieving selective herbicide spraying. Weed identification is made difficult by the dense distribution of weeds and crops, which makes boundary segmentation at the overlap inaccurate, and thus pixels cannot be correctly classified. To solve this problem, this study proposes a soybean field weed recognition model based on an improved DeepLabv3+ model, which uses a Swin transformer as the feature extraction backbone to enhance the model’s utilization of global information relationships, fuses feature maps of different sizes in the decoding section to enhance the utilization of features of different dimensions, and adds a convolution block attention module (CBAM) after each feature fusion to enhance the model’s utilization of focused information in the feature maps, resulting in a new weed recognition model, Swin-DeepLab. Using this model to identify a dataset containing a large number of densely distributed weedy soybean seedlings, the average intersection ratio reached 91.53%, the accuracy improved by 2.94% compared with that before the improvement with only a 48 ms increase in recognition time, and the accuracy was superior to those of other classical semantic segmentation models. The results showed that the Swin-DeepLab network proposed in this paper can successfully solve the problems of incorrect boundary contour recognition when weeds are densely distributed with crops and incorrect classification when recognition targets overlap, providing a direction for the further application of transformers in weed recognition.

description: Background Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively review the methodological design choices and assumption parameters that have been made to calculate years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) in these studies. Methods We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, and the grey literature supplemented by handsearching, for BoD studies. We included injury BoD studies that quantified the BoD expressed in YLL, YLD, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) in countries within the European Region between early-1990 and mid-2021. Results We retrieved 2,914 results of which 48 performed an injury-specific BoD assessment. Single-country independent and Global Burden of Disease (GBD)-linked injury BoD studies were performed in 11 European countries. Approximately 79% of injury BoD studies reported the BoD by external cause-of-injury. Most independent studies used the incidence-based approach to calculate YLDs. About half of the injury disease burden studies applied disability weights (DWs) developed by the GBD study. Almost all independent injury studies have determined YLL using national life tables. Conclusions Considerable methodological variation across independent injury BoD assessments was observed; differences were mainly apparent in the design choices and assumption parameters towards injury YLD calculations, implementation of DWs, and the choice of life table for YLL calculations. Development and use of guidelines for performing and reporting of injury BoD studies is crucial to enhance transparency and comparability of injury BoD estimates across Europe and beyond. © The Author(s) 2022

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: 'Wake' was a performance of live writing created through the collaboration of Mick Douglas with artist and researcher Amaara Raheem. Presented as part of The Performance Arcade in 2016, the performance took place on the Wellington Waterfront for 4 nights. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: 'Wake' was a performance of words, sounds and gestures that responded to the artists' experience in the Arcade through the vocabulary of voicing and sounding, gesture and movement. Through this work, Douglas and Raheem are building a practice of generating writing-for-performance and writing that performs through live contexts, in relation to sites, chance encounters and circumstances. The work demonstrates Douglas' ongoing research into new forms of live, performative practices that engage with aesthetic experiences of mobility, and cultural and social atmospheres. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: 'Wake' was selected as an international contribution to The Performance Arcade: a specially curated, annual mini-festival of live art practices presented by the performing arts company The Playground NZ. Curated by designer Sam Trubridge with a selection panel comprised of NZ artists, producers, and curators, the festival is an open laboratory for the application of a radical and visionary philosophy for NZ Live Arts practice. In 2017, Douglas and Raheem presented the second iteration of this work, 'Wake Make' which was selected again for The Performance Arcade.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: 'Making Sense of Landscape' features a collection of works over 25 years and critical essays that position the practice Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL). Edited by Prof Gini Lee and Prof SueAnne Ware, the book features 18 TCL projects in the context of Narrative, Material Presence and the Civic, alongside 17 critical essays from international writers, academics, curators, artists and designers. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Since 1989, TCL has undertaken an investigation into the poetic expression of the Australian landscape and contemporary culture. This has permeated their design work in a multiplicity of public settings from urban waterfronts to desert walking trails. In each case, the detailed exploration of context, site, and community have informed outcomes and enriched the patterning and detail of built landscapes. TCL's projects demonstrate the exchange between the collaborative space of the design studio and the wider Australian landscapes of cities, suburbs, the outback, and the infrastructures that define them. This book captures not only TCL's projects, but more importantly speculates on the future of landscape architecture in Australia. As the editors note, contributions by invited essayists aim "to expand discourse and debate on the profession." RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The book received the President's Award at the 2014 Australian Institute of Landscape Architecture (AILA) Victoria President's Award, with the citation: 'The diverse range of voices in this book, and the positioning of TCL's work within both the local and international discourses are impressive and should be applauded. It received wide peer review in the professional journal Landscape Architecture Australia, Australian Garden History, The Age, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian and Open Journal. It featured on the highly regarded 'The Architects' show on Melbourne community radio station 3RRR (1 April 2014) and on 'The Plan' Radio Adelaide, University of Adelaide.

subject: Architectural science and technology

description: BACKGROUND: 'Architectonics' was a real-time projection mapping installation over the entire facade of Storey Hall, performed live at White Night Melbourne 2016. The work exemplifies Batty's merging of previously disparate methods of working with light and sound and his command of digital fluency over modern technology to create transcendental moments of awe. CONTRIBUTION: This research explored a variety of architectural perceptual tricks with an extreme level of detail. With the aid of custom visual granular synthesis software (developed by Batty), the architectural features of the building were disintegrated and rebuilt into an evolving generative form throughout the night. This project contributes to Batty's ongoing research exploring the intersection between audio-visual art, computer science and musical performance. SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of 'Architectonics' is evidenced by its selection, after a competitive expression of interest process, for White Night Melbourne, a one night only, showcase of exhibitions and interactive events throughout the CBD. The 12 hour event is a State Government of Victoria initiative and major contribution to Australia's cultural calendar. White Night Melbourne 2016 was attended by an estimated 580,000 people. Batty's work featured alongside prominent artists such as OCUBO and Craig Walsh. The installation led to the creation of custom projection mapping software that facilitated offsetting architectural features to create a technique known as 'chasers'. At this time, no other commercial mapping software facilitated the chaser technique, requiring artists to create renders in 3D modelling programs. As a result, the project's source code has been released as open source for community benefit.

description: BACKGROUND - A precursor for this text is my lyric essay, 'grounds', published in Unlikely journal, 2018. Stephen Muecke, Ross Gibson and Katrina Schlunke are influences on the research methods and creative mode of 'Hexham'. It is informed by their innovation of language and narrative to address questions about Australian settler history. My essay also enacts a response to Aboriginal author Evelyn Araluen's recent article for Overland journal, regarding my deployment of decolonial theory. The issues raised in 'Hexham' are of ongoing relevance to the validity of the Australian settler voice and colonial historiography. CONTRIBUTION - My text asks: how can I take responsibility for my settler-colonial history as a creative writer? I undertook research into my family archives, public records, local histories, field visits to the Western District, and Gunditjmara and Jardwadjali sites. I use a hybrid form and an ambiguous voice to convey the open-ended nature of this research. The structure interrupts my received history of Hexham by framing it within my ongoing learning about the Aboriginal histories of the area. It is the first essay in a book-length manuscript that extends the question above and seeks to reach a broad settler Australian audience engaged with literature, culture and history. SIGNIFICANCE - The essay was commissioned by Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature, for its Reading Victoria initiative. Selected by a panel of high profile peers, Sophie Cunningham, Andre Dao, Elizabeth Flux, Omar Sakr and Veronica Sullivan, it joins public conversation and literary engagement with local, place-based writing. Reading Victoria reaches a statewide online readership engaged with contemporary literature, history and culture. This publication has led to a commission to produce a new place-based work for the Avantwhatever experimental sound festival in Melbourne, July 2018.

description: BACKGROUND Attuning was a 24 hour live in collaborative durational performance inhabiting the Point of Contact Gallery and transmitting a live online audio broadcast. Performed with Prof. Julieanne Preston and six local artists, the work explored collaborative practices of attuning to the potential of co-created practice within a shared space and duration, with each other, and with a selection of texts primarily drawing from Latin American poetry published by the Gallery. CONTRIBUTION Attuning explored the nature of idling as a rarefied state requiring ongoing fine-tuning and adjustment to achieve the highest level of efficiency of effort and economy of energy. Through the contingent and relational activity of collective reading, the work revives the orality and aurality of poetry through experiments in (mis)pronunciation, enunciation and elocution. This activity shifts labour with its connotations to social, political and geographical issues to the generative and emergent life of creative practice. Labour becomes the investment in doing, making, verbalising and hearing. This work is part of the broader project 'The Idleness Labourity' which explores an aesthetic ethos of co-creative experience through performative ways of questioning, exploring and attributing value in contemporary creative arts practices. It contributes to Douglas' creative practice-based research in socially-engaged public art, performance and mobility, and inter-cultural, artistic practice. SIGNIFICANCE The project was selected by the curatorial team of Point of Contact Gallery as part of their international program, and resulted from an invited artist residency supported by Syracuse University New York. This independent Gallery, housed within Syracuse University and funded by the New York State Council on the Arts, operates as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary forum where artists, writers, scholars and students actively engage in the production of publications, art exhibitions and events.

Creators: name: Trudgeon, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330102
subject: Architectural design

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: In December 2015, 'notation' became the focal point of a workshop entitled 'To Note: Notation Across Disciplines' led by independent curator Hannah Mathews which considered the significance, influence and role of notation across creative disciplines. Trudgeon was one of the 25 practitioners invited to reflect upon notation from a process and/or work-based perspective. His lecture 'Search, Contain, Paperwork' was included in a book that came out of the workshop. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: In his text, Trudgeon discusses ways in which notation is a significant component in the design process with regards to who is notating and why. He firstly addresses a historical framework for the associations between technology and culture, and the role of notation emerging from that framework. He then discusses how the changes identified through this framework have emerged in the practice of architecture. As such, Trudgeon brings architectural practice back to the idea of people wanting to record, communicate and represent their relationships with the environment; this 'marking' - notating - forms the basis for structured social interaction. This work demonstrates Trudgeon's ongoing transdisciplinary practice with a focus on technology and innovation, in relation to cultural change. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: Trudgeon's text was published in the book that came out of the workshop at the peer-reviewed venue RMIT Design Hub. The book, as part reference and part exercise manual, forms a collection of material that informs and challenges the definition of notation across disciplines. It was published by Perimeter Editions, and was launched at the National Gallery of Victoria during the Melbourne Art Book Fair (March 2017).

description: Qilian Mountain National Park (QLMNP) is a biodiversity hotspot with great agriculture and tourism resources. With the expansion of human activities, a few areas of the park are experiencing massive landscape transformation, and these areas are also highly ecologically sensitive. Nevertheless, there are substantial differences in the human activities and natural resources of various communities around QLMNP, resulting in heterogeneous landscape degradation. Hence, this study explores the extent and drivers of spatial heterogeneity in landscape fragmentation associated with ecologically vulnerable communities in QLMNP. Multiple ring buffer analysis and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were used to analyze the relationships between landscape fragmentation and variables of human activities and facilities to identify the main factors influencing landscape fragmentation in different regions. The results reveal that human disturbance had a stronger relationship with landscape fragmentation in QLMNP than natural factors do. Among the drivers of landscape fragmentation, the distribution of residential areas and the extension of agricultural land were found to have more significant impacts than tourism. Expansion of cropland had a greater impact on the eastern part of the national park, where overgrazing and farming require further regulation, while tourism affected the landscape fragmentation in the central area of the national park. The point-shaped human disturbance had a larger impact than the linear disturbance. The study findings can be used to formulate a comprehensive plan to determine the extent to which agriculture and tourism should be developed to avoid excessive damage to the ecosystem.

description: Un concept mathématique, quoique difficilement définissable, relève d’un processus particulier dans la mesure où l’objet mathématique ne peut être accessible d’emblée. L’élève ne peut y accéder que par l’intermédiaire de représentations de cet objet. Celles-ci sont donc partielles et conditionnées par des contraintes liées au matériel et à la perception. L’enjeu de la conceptualisation revient à abstraire les caractéristiques qui fondent le concept à partir des différentes situations puis à les généraliser. Cette démarche procède d’actions faites de catégorisations, de schématisations, d’inférences et de modélisation. Le projet à la base de ce travail visait à déterminer les conditions de cette conceptualisation. Autrement dit, j’ai cherché à comprendre de quels étayages un enseignant peut disposer pour favoriser une dynamique de conceptualisation mathématique chez les élèves. A partir de deux narrations et d’enregistrements audio, j’ai constitué un corpus de données que j’ai analysé au moyen de grilles d’observation. Le traitement de ces informations a mis en évidence certaines conditions qui soutiennent la conceptualisation en résolution de problème mathématique. Ces étayages sont d’ordre environnementaux et interactionnels. Sur le plan du dispositif, je relève qu’un contexte créatif de manipulation et d’expérimentation permet la mise en oeuvre d’une dynamique d’action et de conceptualisation. Celui-ci est conditionné par un environnement matériel qui favorise les conversions et qui fournit les éléments nécessaires au dépassement d’obstacles. Quant aux étayages interactionnels, ils comportent essentiellement deux versants. Premièrement celui de soutenir les inférences et les catégorisations, en démontrant les caractéristiques déterminantes ou non pertinentes et en proposant une démarche de conversion. Deuxièmement celui de maintenir l’orientation vers le but initial et les concepts mathématiques qui le sous-tendent, en stabilisant les connaissances nécessaires à la résolution et en favorisant la convergence des actes et des idées vers une réalisation à la fois empirique et conceptuelle.

description: The transition towards net-zero emissions is inevitable for humanity’s future. Of all the sectors, electrical energy systems emit the most emissions. This urgently requires the witnessed accelerating technological landscape to transition towards an emission-free smart grid. It involves massive integration of intermittent wind and solar-powered resources into future power grids. Additionally, new paradigms such as large-scale integration of distributed resources into the grid, proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and electrification of different sectors are envisioned as essential enablers for a net-zero future. However, these changes will lead to unprecedented size, complexity and data of the planning and operation problems of future grids. It is thus important to discuss and consider High Performance Computing (HPC), parallel computing, and cloud computing prospects in any future electrical energy studies. This article recounts the dawn of parallel computation in power system studies, providing a thorough history and paradigm background for the reader, leading to the most impactful recent contributions. The reviews are split into Central Processing Unit (CPU) based, Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) based, and Cloud-based studies and smart grid applications. The state-of-the-art is also discussed, highlighting the issue of standardization and the future of the field. The reviewed papers are predominantly focused on classical imperishable electrical system problems. This indicates the need for further research on parallel and HPC approaches applied to future smarter grid challenges, particularly to the integration of renewable energy into the smart grid.

description: Objectives Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a worldwide challenge, threatening global health. The objective of this research was to determine the 3rd generation cephalosporin resistance (3GCR) proportion in Escherichia (E.) coli isolated from clinical samples of dogs and cats in Germany. Methods The study utilized result data from antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of isolates obtained from diagnostic samples collected from dogs and cats send in for bacterial examination. Data includes AST results from 3,491 veterinary practices in Germany spanning the years 2019 to 2021, representing 33.1% of practices and clinics nationwide. Out of 175,171 clinical samples, a total of 25,491 E. coli strains (14,6%) were evaluated for their susceptibility to antimicrobials, in particular the 3rd generation cephalosporin cefovecin, but also aminoglycosides (gentamicin, GEN), fluoroquinolones (enrofloxacin, ENR), tetracyclines (doxycycline), phenicols (chloramphenicol), folate pathway inhibitors (sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim), and nitrofurans (nitrofurantoin). Results The cefovecin resistance proportion was 11.6% in the study period. Geographical analysis showed local variations in 3GCR in E. coli of ±3%. Regarding all E. coli isolates investigated, resistance proportions were observed as follows: 12% for sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, 7% for enrofloxacin, 8% for chloramphenicol and 4% for gentamicin. Notably, 3GCR E. coli showed significantly higher resistance proportions, specifically 30% for sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, 28% for chloramphenicol, 18% for enrofloxacin and 14% for gentamicin. Conclusions This study represents the first of its kind to utilize an extensive dataset encompassing dogs and cats across Germany. Companion animals have close contact to their owners and transmission of 3GCR between them is likely as well as acquisition from other environmental sources. Resistance proportions (6.7%) against the antibiotic ceftazidime as reported by the German AMR surveillance for human medicine were lower than in our veterinary data. Our study provides an overview of the current 3GCR resistance proportion in Germany and demonstrates the importance of integrated AMR monitoring.

description: Für Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz liegen bisher nur in geringem Umfang Indikatoren vor, die deren ökonomische Bedeutung widerspiegeln. In diesem Bericht wird ein erster Schritt zur Verbesserung der Informationslage unternommen. Als Indikatoren werden Energieeffizienzinvestitionen, daraus abgeleitete Bruttoproduktion und (Brutto-) Beschäftigung sowie Umsätze mit Gütern und Dienstleistungen, die der Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz dienen, betrachtet. Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte sind Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Gebäudebestand und im Produzierenden Gewerbe, Energieeffizienzdienstleistungen sowie die Produktion von Gütern, die potenziell für rationelle Energieverwendung und -Umwandlung eingesetzt werden können. Die Berechnungen zeigen, dass mit den Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz im Gebäudebestand, denen auch besondere CO2-Minderungspotenziale zugeschrieben werden, besonders hohe Produktions- und Beschäftigungswirkungen verbunden sind.

description: To date, there are only a few indicators for measures to increase energy efficiency that reflect their economic significance. This report takes a first step towards improving the information situation. The indicators considered are energy efficiency investments, gross production and (gross) employment derived from them, and sales of goods and services that serve to improve energy efficiency. The focus is on measures to increase energy efficiency in existing buildings and in the manufacturing sector, energy efficiency services and the production of goods that can potentially be used for the efficient use and conversion of energy. The calculations show that the measures to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, which are also attributed special CO2 reduction potentials, are associated with particularly high production and employment effects.

description: Fast 550.000 Personen waren im Jahr 2016 alleine durch energetische Gebäudesanierung beschäftigt – direkt oder indirekt in vorgelagerten Produktionsbereichen. Von Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz gehen viele weitere wirtschaftliche Impulse aus. Beispielsweise durch die Produktion von Gütern, die zur Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz beitragen oder durch Dienstleistungen wie Energieberatung oder Energie-Management. Die Studie betrachtet die Indikatoren Energieeffizienzinvestitionen, daraus abgeleitete Bruttoproduktion und (Brutto-)Beschäftigung sowie Umsätze mit Gütern und Dienstleistungen, die der Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz dienen.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, πραγματοποιείται μια αρχιτεκτονική μελέτη, για την ανέγερση ενός κτιρίου, το οποίο πρόκειται να στεγάσει κοινωνικές δομές (συσσίτιο, κοινωνικό παντοπωλείο, κοινωνικό φαρμακείο, κοινωνικό φροντιστήριο), το οποίο καλείται «Κέντρο Κοινωνικής Προσφοράς». Η κατασκευή, αποτελείται από το κυρίως κτίριο που στεγάζονται οι δομές και από ένα μεταλλικό στέγαστρο. Το κτίριο έχει σχεδιαστεί με την φιλοσοφία της αλληλεγγύης και δεν είναι τυχαίος ο συμβολισμός σύμφωνα με τον οποίο το μεταλλικό στέγαστρο «αγκαλιάζει» το κτίριο, αποτίνοντας έτσι φόρο τιμής στην προστασία και την προσφορά, ενώ το μεγαλύτερο μέρος των επιφανειών του κτιρίου είναι καμπύλο, πράγμα που προσδίδει στον άνθρωπο αίσθημα γαλήνης, προστασίας, ευμένειας. Οι δομές τοποθετούνται στην πόλη των Μεγάρων και απέχουν μόλις λίγα χιλιόμετρα από το κέντρο της πόλης. Είναι μελετημένες σύμφωνα με τις πιο σύγχρονες προδιαγραφές και κανονισμούς, το υλικό του φέροντος οργανισμού είναι οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα και το υλικό της τοιχοποιίας είναι οπτόπλινθοι, ενώ δεν λείπουν τα βιοκλιματικά στοιχεία στην κατασκευή. Η εργασία απαρτίζεται από τα εξής κεφάλαια: 1ο Κεφάλαιο: Δίδονται ιστορικά – γεωγραφικά - δημογραφικά στοιχεία, καθώς και στοιχεία σχετικά με την τοπική παραγωγή, για τον Δήμο Μεγαρέων. 2ο Κεφάλαιο: Αναφέρονται οι παροχές (επιδόματα) και οι στεγασμένες δομές που προσφέρει το κράτος, αλλά και ο δήμος για τους πολίτες. 3ο Κεφάλαιο: Γίνεται μνεία στον τομέα των Ανανεώσιμων Πηγών Ενέργειας και συγκεκριμένα στα βιοκλιματικά συστήματα που χρησιμοποιούνται. 4ο Κεφάλαιο: Περιγράφεται η χωροθέτηση του κτιρίου, καθώς και το κτιριολογικό πρόγραμμα. 5o κεφάλαιο: Προβάλλεται η πορεία ιδεών μέχρι την τελική απεικόνιση του κτιρίου, παρουσιάζεται η κατασκευή με σχέδια 2 ή/και 3 διαστάσεων, φωτορεαλιστικών απεικονίσεων, ενώ αναφέρονται βιοκλιματικά στοιχεία του 3ου κεφαλαίου που εφαρμόστηκαν στην κατασκευή. 6ο Κεφάλαιο: Παρατίθενται τα οφέλη που συμπεραίνεται ότι απορρέουν εάν πραγματοποιηθεί η κατασκευή του κτιρίου.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία έχει τίτλο «Αστικά Στερεά Απόβλητα – Προτεινόμενες Λύσεις Διαχείρισης Βιοαποβλήτων Δήμου Νέας Φιλαδέλφειας – Νέας Χαλκηδόνας» και επιδιώκει να παρουσιάσει τρόπους διαχείρισης των στερεών αποβλήτων και προτεινόμενες λύσεις διαχείρισης των βιοαποβλήτων στον Δήμο. Αρχικά, οριοθετείται η έννοια των Αστικών Στερεών Αποβλήτων, καθώς και οι τεχνικές διαχείρισης απορριμμάτων, ενώ στη συνέχεια γίνεται αναφορά στο Ευρωπαϊκό και Ελληνικό θεσμικό πλαίσιο σχετικά με την διαχείριση και αξιοποίηση των απορριμμάτων. Ακόμη, η εργασία επιχειρεί να αποτυπώσει την διαχείριση των Αστικών Στερεών Αποβλήτων στο Δήμο Νέας Φιλαδέλφειας – Νέας Χαλκηδόνας ο οποίος βρίσκεται σε δυσχερή θέση λόγω έλλειψης κεντρικού σχεδιασμού διαχείρισης των αποβλήτων. Από τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας καταλήγουμε στο συμπέρασμα ότι υπάρχει ουσιαστική ανάγκη για την ορθολογική διαχείριση των Α.Σ.Α. στο Δήμο Νέας Φιλαδέλφειας – Νέας Χαλκηδόνας. Θα πρέπει οι τεχνικές διαχείρισης που εφαρμόζονται να αναθεωρηθούν και να δημιουργηθεί ένα σύστημα διαχείρισης με στόχο την καλύτερα εφικτή αξιοποίηση των αποβλήτων.

description: Το κρέας αποτελεί ένα από τα βασικά συστατικά της διατροφής του ανθρώπου προσδίδοντας του απαραίτητα θρεπτικά συστατικά τα οποία είναι υψίστης σημασίας για τη φυσιολογική λειτουργία και ανάπτυξη του οργανισμού. Σύμφωνα με αρκετές μελέτες, έχει αποδειχθεί ότι η κατανάλωση του κρέατος τη σημερινή εποχή έχει αυξηθεί σημαντικά σε σχέση με το παρελθόν και αναμένεται να αυξηθεί ακόμα περισσότερο στο μέλλον. Ωστόσο, ορισμένες μελέτες αναφέρουν, ότι εκτός από τα αναμφισβήτητα οφέλη που προκαλεί η κατανάλωση του κρέατος υπάρχει και συσχέτιση του με την εμφάνιση ορισμένων σοβαρών ασθενειών, γεγονός που προκαλεί ανησυχία στους ανθρώπους. Οι ασθένειες με τις οποίες βρέθηκε να συνδέεται η κατανάλωση κρέατος είναι τα καρδιαγγειακά νοσήματα, ο καρκίνος και ο διαβήτης τύπου 2. Όσον αφορά τη συσχέτιση της διατροφής με την εμφάνιση καρκίνου, αναφέρεται σε κάποιες μελέτες ότι η κατανάλωση κόκκινου και επεξεργασμένου κρέατος βρέθηκε να συνδέεται κυρίως με τον καρκίνο του παχέος εντέρου και ενδεχομένως και με άλλες μορφές καρκίνου. Τελευταία δεν είναι και σπάνια η τάση καταναλωτών για μείωση της κατανάλωσης κρέατος και αντικατάσταση του με δίαιτες πιο χορτοφαγικές ή και η συμπόρευση με τα πρότυπα της Μεσογειακής διατροφής ώστε να αποφευχθούν οι πιθανές αρνητικές επιδράσεις της κατανάλωσης του κρέατος. Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να μελετηθούν οι θετικές αλλά και οι αρνητικές επιδράσεις της κατανάλωσης κρέατος και προϊόντων του στην υγεία του ανθρώπου.
