Effect of various doses of inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus L.) in Assam condition

The present study was carried out in five Krishi Vigyan Kendras of different districts of Assam, viz. Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Nagaon, Nalbari and Chirang; to standardize the fertilizer requirement by dragon fruit plants in Assam condition. The growth and yield parameters recorded over two years revealed that the growth as well as the yield attributing characters were significantly influenced on application of Urea: SSP: MOP @70: 90: 40 g per plant in first year followed by Urea: SSP: MOP @ 150:150:300 g per plant from second year onwards (Treatment T2 ) as compared to the other treatments such as T0 : Control, T1 : 53:68:30 Urea, SSP, MOP g/plant(1st year) and 113:113:225 Urea, SSP, MOP g/plant (2nd year) and T3 : 88:113:50 Urea, SSP, MOP g/plant (1st year) and 188:188:375 Urea, SSP, MOP g/plant (2nd year).The Maximum stem diameter of 6.3 cm after 2nd year of establishment was found on application of T2 dose along with the maximum number of fruits per pole (25.82), maximum average fruit weight (272.04 g) and highest annual yield per pole (7.103 kg) as well as maximum fruit volume (279.6 cc) and the highest pulp: peel ratio (4.11). Therefore, considering the significance of T2 dose of fertilizer in various districts of Assam, it can be concluded that treatment T2 can be considered as the appropriate dose of fertilizer to be considered for Assam condition.

ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ УМСТВЕННЫХ СПОСОБНОСТЕЙ СТУДЕНТОВ АГРАРНОГО УНИВЕРСИТЕТА СЕВЕРНОГО ЗАУРАЛЬЯ

This article examines a study to find out the average IQ of students from one of the groups of the GAU of the Northern Trans-Urals. The results of a study on finding out the average IQ of 2nd year students are taken as a basis. 2nd year students of the Agroengineering training course of different profiles took part in an anonymous intellectual survey of the Eysenck test. The Eysenck Test is an intelligence quotient (IQ) test developed by the English psychologist Hans Eysenck. There are eight different variants of the Eysenck intelligence test. Any specialist of a technical and engineering specialty or profession needs the ability and abilities to analyze and synthesize spatial forms, to perceive ideas based by other developers and researchers in the drawing documentation. Students of the GAU of the Northern Trans-Urals demonstrated a significant amount of knowledge by answering interesting and difficult questions. At the end of the survey, it can be concluded that the abilities of students and the identification of predisposition to a certain mindset and assimilation of the material of educational programs are completely different and depend on different types of thinking. The article examines the mental abilities of university students and reveals a predisposition to a certain mindset and the assimilation of the material of educational programs. Engineering graphics, mathematics and physics help everyone to develop these abilities, do not forget about the humanities. A future specialist should not only calculate and draw, but also be able to correctly express and convey thoughts. For this purpose, both technical and humanitarian sciences are taught at our university.

The influence of situational factors on changes in mental state, depending on the level of development of reflection (using the example of students’ educational activities)

When considering the determinants of mental state, the most relevant research appears to be the study of the “situation — mental state” relationship, since this relationship opens up opportunities for understanding the underlying mechanisms of determination and regulation of mental states in situations of life. In this context, the consideration of the category of situation as an element in the structure of mental phenomena remains poorly studied. At the same time, the success of student learning depends on a well-structured educational situation, as a structural unit of educational activity, which includes: diverse factors, mental states of students, their characterological characteristics, etc. Studying the role of the influence of situational factors on the mental states of students in the learning process, it is noted that in different educational situations, factors influencing the mental state are given indirect significance. Based on this, the purpose of this article was to consider the influence of situational factors on changes in state, depending on the level of development of reflection, using the example of students’ educational activities. The empirical study was conducted in two real learning situations (lecture and exam), where the lesson was interrupted and respondents were asked to answer Вестник СПбГУ. Психология. 2024. Т. 14. Вып. 3 559 methodological questions. 130 respondents took part in the study: 98 girls and 32 boys. All students are 1st and 2nd year psychologists whose average age was 21 years. Research methods included logical-theoretical analysis of scientific literature, a testing method and, at the stage of processing the results, methods of mathematical statistics. It was revealed that in a lecture situation states of low levels of mental activity are experienced; in an exam situation — highlevel states. It has been established that in a lecture situation, the following factors influence the change in the mental state of low-reflective and highly reflective respondents: “Social interaction”, “Action and behavior”. In an exam situation respondents with a high level of reflection are influenced by the “Bodily manifestations” factor.

Assessment of teaching learning methods under CBME among second year medical students

Background: Medical institutions are progressively transforming their medical curriculum from a traditional approach to Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), which is a student-centered curricular activity. Self-assessment of the teaching methods by the students is an important tool to ensure the best possible academic environment for the students. The main aim of the study was to assess the teaching learning methods under CBME among 2nd-year medical students based on student’s feedback, in the Dept of Pharmacology. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire distributed to the 2nd year MBBS students who met the inclusion criteria. Data was analysed and expressed as percentages. Results: A total of 95 students met the inclusion criteria and all responded to the questionnaire. Majority responded positively towards the current teaching-learning methods. Small group discussion (SGD) seemed to be the preferred teaching learning method garnering a total of 67% vote. Most of the students mentioned their preference of learning in small groups but found the adult learning principles like Self Directed learning (SDL) to be less useful. Conclusion: Majority responded positively towards the current methods. It was evident from the study that facilitators need to focus on inclusivity in SGD. Incorporation of teaching learning methods suggested by the students would be an ideal tool to ensure the best academic environment for the students. Implementation of more problem based & critical thinking centric methods may encourage students to utilize the adult learning principles like SDL etc.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice of pharmacovigilance among undergraduate medical students in a tertiary care teaching hospital of Northern Maharashtra

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) contribute significantly among underlying reasons of morbidity and mortality in the health-care system. ADR reporting is the core of pharmacovigilance program but still insufficient reporting by health professionals exists in various part of our country. Aims and Objectives: The study was designed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of undergraduate medical students about ADR and pharmacovigilance. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Questionnaire was comprising 21 questions to evaluate the KAP of pharmacovigilance among undergraduate medical students. Descriptive statistics were analyzed and analysis of variance test was applied for statistical difference between the groups. Results: One hundred and eighty-six students participated in the study. The average score of 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year for knowledge was (4.50, 5.15, and 4.59) and for attitude was (5.37, 5.70, and 5.59) and for practice was (1.14, 1.78, and 1.36). There is a significant difference in average score between groups for knowledge and attitude, but not for practice. They have higher attitude and knowledge, but poor practice regarding pharmacovigilance. Conclusion: Respondent of the study was not completely aware of pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting. There is an increased need to create awareness and to train students about pharmacovigilance.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВА МАТОЧНЫХ РАСТЕНИЙ ВИНОГРАДА НА ИХ СПОСОБНОСТЬ К ВЕГЕТАТИВНОМУ РАЗМНОЖЕНИЮ

For many years, grapes were considered to be an unpromising crop in the conditions of the Central Non-Black Earth Zone but their wider spread has been encouraged by the appear- ance of new varieties whose berries ripen in a relatively short time. The assortment of modern grape varieties for amateur cultivation in the non-Black Earth Zone consists mainly of interspecific hybrids based on Vitis amurensis Rupr., Vitis riparia Michx., Vitis labrusca L., Vitis berlandieri Planch., which causes problems with their vegetative propagation. The article is devoted to the study of the effect of the method of obtaining planting material from vine mother plants on the increase of the regenerative capacity of the singletree cuttings obtained from them. During the threeyear research on the grape varieties Kishmish No. 342 and Moskovskiy Beliy, experiments were carried out on the additional growth of mother plants propagated by green and singletree cuttings and by the method of clonal micropropagation. As a result of the research, the advantage of using the technology of clonal micropropagation in the production of seedlings for the establishment of vine mother plantations was revealed. At the same time, the variety Kishmish No. 342 showed reliable differences from the control in terms of development indicators from the 2nd year of cultivation, and the variety Moskovskiy Beliy – from the 3rd year. Both varieties received 1.8–2.1 times more standard seedlings from mother plants propagated in vitro for three years on the basis of high rooting ability of singletree cuttings and the proportion of seedlings according to GOST 31783–2012.

Исследование распространенности и специфики проявления нервной орторексии у обучающихся

The prevalence of orthorexia nervosa ranges from 1 to 7 % of the world's population. Students are at risk, about a third of whom experience symptoms of orthorexia. In this regard, a more thorough study of the manifestations of orthorexia nervosa in students is necessary. The purpose of the work was to investigate the prevalence and specificity of the manifestation of orthorexia nervosa in students of different courses and specialties, as well as its relationship with the characteristics of preoccupation with body shape and character traits. Over the course of 8 months 132 students of the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, 92 girls and 40 boys from 18 to 26 years old, from 1st to 6th years and masters, were surveyed. All students were tested using the following methods: “Roman Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire (ORTO-15)”, “Body Shape” Questionnaire (BSQ) (Cooper, Taylor), Leonhard-Schmischek test, author's questionnaire. The respondents were divided into two groups, depending on the presence or absence of signs of orthorexia nervosa. 90 (68.2 %) students, representatives of the first group, showed signs of orthorexia nervosa. The results of the study confirmed that among students, manifestations of orthorexia are common in more than half of the students. More often it occurs in girls from 19 to 20 years old; among 2nd year students, mainly among representatives of chemical, biological and technical profiles. The eating behavior of students with signs of orthorexia nervosa is characterized by pronounced selectivity. This group of respondents reliably revealed connections between preoccupation with body shape and excitability, exaltation, anxiety, pedantry, cyclothymia and hyperthymia, as well as a higher body mass index (BMI).

The article presents the results of a study of the formation of discursive competence of a future CLIL teacher based on the foresight method, as well as results describing the levels of its development in the test and control groups. The authors emphasize the importance and necessity of creating conditions for the formation of discursive competence of the future CLIL teacher, which is determined by its significance as one of the key components of intercultural communication. The conditions under which the formation of discursive competence will occur most effectively are identified and described: pedagogical conditions: the use of gamification techniques as a means of increasing motivation to study subjects in a foreign language; dialogization of the educational process; availability of methodological materials: “Methodological recommendations for developing the discursive competence of a future CLIL teacher”, as well as “Glossary of CLIL teacher terms (terminological collection)”; organizational and methodological conditions: teaching technologies, project activities, problem-based learning, analysis of specific situations (case analysis); methods and forms of training: frontal group paired individual practical training; teaching aids: audiovisual aids, educational and methodological support, technical aids. The purpose of the study was to theoretically substantiate and experimentally test the effectiveness of pedagogical conditions for the formation of discursive competence of a future CLIL teacher. The participants of the experiment are future CLIL teachers (71 2nd year pedagogical students) of the natural sciences and mathematical majors.

A Survey on the Preexisting Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Blood Donation among Medical Students at Entry Level: A Cross-sectional Study

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: In India, there is a huge gap between blood demand and supply of blood. Young people form blood donors for the future as they are full of idealism and enthusiasm. Targeting medical students at the entry level itself is beneficial as they can be included in the donor pool early. Hence, we planned this survey to understand knowledge, attitude, and practice of blood donation among them. Methods: Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. A briefing about the study was given to students, followed by 15 min to complete the questionnaire. A short awareness session was also conducted. A pre- and post-session willingness for blood donation was also taken. Results: The median age range was 19.36 ± 1.15 years with more males than females. There was a significant difference between knowledge among 1st and 2nd year students; however, attitude and practice showed no difference. Females showed significantly higher knowledge and better attitudes but significantly low practice than males. Significant reasons for blood donation among donors were to help others, even the unknown at the time of need and health benefits for blood donors. The most common reason for nondonation cited by nondonors was fear of weakness/anemia; however, it was not statistically significant. Willingness for donation improved from 83.4% to 93% after the awareness session. Conclusion: The participants had a good amount of knowledge and favorable attitude toward blood donation, but the practice of blood donation was less, especially among females. Improved willingness to donate blood following awareness sessions suggests that conducting regular educational and motivational activities will be helpful.

Funções neuropsicológicas de escolares na reabertura das escolas brasileiras na pandemia da Covid-19

ABSTRACT Purpose The objective of this study was analyzed the neuropsychological functions of students from a public school in Brazil, enrolled in the 1st and 2nd year of Elementary School at the time of the reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and to access the influence of family and contextual information on the performance of these skills. Methods 117 students participated in the study, as well as their parents or guardians. The children were evaluated in person using the Brief Child Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument (NEUPSILIN-Inf). The parents/guardians answered remotely the Inventory of Resources of the Family Environment and questions about socioeconomic classification and maternal education. Results The data showed a high prevalence of children who had problems or deficits in the functions of orientation, memory, language, visuospatial skills, arithmetic skills and verbal fluency. Furthermore, predictable activities that signal some degree of stability in family life are predictors of children's performance in orientation skills and resources that promote proximal processes significantly reflect on language performance. The results suggest that children included in families with a household income below one Brazilian minimum monthly salary presented poorer inhibitory control performances. Conclusion The impact of changes in neuropsychological skills in children's learning were presented and discussed, highlighting the need for immediate and targeted intervention of these functions. Contextual factors that influenced the performance of neuropsychological skills were also considered.

Pyrolyzed and unpyrolyzed residues enhance maize yield under varying rates of application and fertilization regimes.

Biochar is increasingly gaining popularity due to its extensive recommendation as a potential solution for addressing the concerns of food security and climate change in agroecosystems, with biochar application for increased carbon sequestration, enhanced soil fertility, improved soil health, and increased crop yield and quality. There have been multiple studies on crop yield utilizing various biochar types and application amounts; however, none have focused on the influence of diverse biochar types at various pyrolysis temperatures with different application amounts and the integration of fertilizer regimes in maize crops. Therefore, a two-year factorial field experiment was designed in a temperate Himalayan region of India (THRI) to evaluate the residual effect of different biochar on maize yield under different pyrolysis temperatures, various application rates and fertilizer regimes. The study included three factors viz., amendment type (factor 1), rate of application (factor 2) and fertilizer regime (factor 3). Amendment type included 7 treatments: No biochar- control (A1), apple biochar @ 400°C pyrolysis temperature (A2), apple biochar @ 600°C pyrolysis temperature (A3), apple residue biomass (A4), dal weed biochar @ 400°C pyrolysis temperature (A5), dal weed biochar @ 600°C pyrolysis temperatures (A6), and dal weed residue biomass (A7). The rate of application included 3 levels: Low (L- 1 t ha-1), medium (M- 2 t ha-1), and high (H- 3 t ha-1). At the same time, the fertilizer regimes included 2 treatments: No fertilizer (N) and recommended dose of fertilizer (F). The results revealed that among the various amendment type, rate of application and fertilizer regimes, the A3 amendment, H rate of application and F fertilizer regime gave the best maize growth and productivity outcome. Results revealed that among the different pyrolyzed residues used, the A3 amendment had the highest plant height (293.87 cm), most kernels cob-1 (535.75), highest soil plant analysis development (SPAD) value (58.10), greatest cob length (27.36 cm), maximum cob girth (18.18 cm), highest grain cob yield (1.40 Mg ha-1), highest grain yield (4.78 Mg ha-1), higher test weight (305.42 gm), and highest stover yield (2.50 Mg ha-1). The maximum dry weight in maize and the number of cobs plant-1 were recorded with amendments A4 (14.11 Mg ha-1) and A6 (1.77), respectively. The comparatively 2nd year of biochar application than the 1st year, the H level of the rate of application than the L rate and the application and integration of the recommended dose of fertilizer in maize results in significantly higher values of growth and productivity in maize. Overall, these findings suggest that the apple biochar @ 600°C pyrolysis temperature (A3) at a high application rate with the addition of the recommended dose of fertilizer is the optimal biochar for enhancing the growth and productivity of maize in the THRI.

Psychological factors of adaptation of medical students to a simulation-based learning environment

The aim of the present study is to reveal psychological factors of medical students’ adaptation to simulation-based education. The importance of the study is based on the wide implementation of simulation technologies in medical education and practical healthcare. The aim of the study was to investigate the perceptions of medical students regarding simulation training scenarios using high-tech simulators through the focus group method. The sample comprised 132 medical students enrolled in the “General Medicine” program, differentiated by their simulation training experience: 60 students from the 4th and 5th years with experience using high-tech simulators, and 72 students from the 1st and 2nd years without such experience. The transcribed recordings of focus groups were subjected to coding and thematic analysis. The results have been used to identify 5 thematic blocks characterizing aspects of cognitive and mental representation of the simulation training environment: physical (technical), psychological and social components, and positive and negative attitudes. The primary factor affecting training perception is the practical experience gained, including practicing non-standard situations, mastering tools, acquiring practical skills, training motor skills, and learning algorithms. The second significant factor is the specific features of the Simulation Center (SC), such as limited equipment, lack of information, restricted access, and limitations in interacting with the simulator, including lack of accountability, communication, and non-technical skills training, subjective perception of the simulator’s cost, and communicative unrealisticness. In view of the obtained data, which allowed to identify specific stressors associated with simulation training, further multidimensional study of the adaptation process is planned.

LA LECTURA EXTENSIVA COMO FORMA DE ENSEÑAR ESPAÑOL

At present, the promotion of reading the literary text is aimed at forming the reading habit in students and integrating them in the different socio-cultural contexts where they interact; motivate them to experience reading activity from pleasure, to develop reading behavior in them. Owning this type of communicative activity, a person understands everything he reads, and responds adequately to what he has read, converting his thoughts in response. Reading any text in a foreign language and answering questions about the text or expressing their opinion about the read, the student learns the skills of monologue speech. In this article, the author considers the importance of extensive reading in the study and teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language or any other foreign language, presents approaches to teaching reading that can be used in reading and parsing any text, introduces activities to be used in an extensive reading program, and analyzes the reading practices in the students of the 2nd year of E/LE at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The benefits of extensive reading include gains in reading and writing competence, growth of vocabulary, and increases in self-respect and motivation of students. Reading books can be a good way to acquire new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop understanding of a language. It is important that the books are interesting to students and at a level appropriate to their reading ability.

Associations Between Medical Students' Opinions on Usage of Internet Services and Digital Teaching Tools

"Currently, the educational process must integrate new tools, to keep pace with technological progress. Our paper aims to investigate the extent to which the preferences of medical students for the autonomous use of multimedia resources in the learning process are correlated with their opinions towards the Internet and the intensity of using it in their daily activities. Methods: We investigated 395 medical students from 4 medical universities in Romania, 75.9% females, and 88.8% in the 1st and 2nd years of study. Students were asked to express on Likert-scales their agreement with a list of statements about Internet services, as well as whether they like learning using multimedia tools and how intensively they use Internet services. Results: The students agree to a medium to large extent with the favorable statements about Internet services but are also aware of the negative influences that indiscriminate use of such technology can have. The intensity of Internet usage is high, although not exaggerated. With small exceptions, the students who enjoy using multimedia resources during the learning process have also favorable opinions about Internet services, and use them constantly, mainly for information and instant messaging on social networks."

Block 1 (pre-clinical and paraclinical) electives for medical students in the new competency-based medical education curriculum – Analysis and evaluation

Background: Pre-clinical electives were introduced by the National Medical Commission for competency-based undergraduate Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor Of Surgery program during phase 3-part 1 to provide the learners with an opportunity to gain immersive experience in a particular stream, with the objective to provide learner with opportunities for diverse learning and lateral thinking. The impact of these learning experiences is not available as it was introduced for the 1st time in Indian Medical Colleges. Aims and Objectives: The present research aims to analyze and evaluate the outcome of the electives in terms of students’ satisfaction (knowledge and skills), teaching and learning methodology, assessment methodology, workload demand, and utility. Materials and Methods: It was a questionnaire-based (Google form) cross-sectional study conducted among phase 3-part 1 student after completion of elective. Results: A total of 187 students out of 191 participated in the research. 97.9% (183) were satisfied with the duration, and 79.7% (149) said that the learning objective was useful for their learning experience (topic). 82.3% (154) said that they were allowed to think independently about the topic. 78.9% (147) were satisfied with the assessment components of the elective. 44 (23.5%) felt that it required a low workload, whereas 143 (76.5%) felt that it required a high workload. 28% felt that it should be practically oriented, 20% felt that it should be done after 2nd year, and 20% felt that there should be rotation for multiple topics. Conclusion: Electives are a good opportunity to gain multi-dimensional knowledge and skills in a particular stream. It gives opportunity to explore more than one topic to augment future study.

THEORETICAL COMPETENCIES OF STUDENTS OF A PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT UNIVERSITY: WAYS OF FORMATION AND KAHOOT CONTROL

The purpose of the research is to study the features of the methodology of performing "lectures with pre-planned mistakes" and Kahoot control of theoretical competencies of students of a physical culture and sport university. The introduction of a modern form of lectures, «lectures with pre-planned mistakes", into the educational process of ASIPCS students allowed us to identify that during one lecture session only 3-4 planned errors are enough to make it possible to solve all the challenges facing this form of lectures. The use of audio lectures on “General Pedagogy" and "Pedagogy of Sports" in the educational process of ASIPCS showed that students reacted positively to this innovation and expressed their opinion on the expediency and use. Gamification in the process of monitoring and checking students' knowledge through the Kahoot platform has shown its advantages over the traditional form of holding seminars. The vast majority of 2nd and 3rd year students highly appreciate the use of this information and communication technology in the educational process. This platform allows you to solve not only the tasks of monitoring, controlling, mastering and consolidating new theoretical knowledge, but also provides an opportunity to develop skills of collective thinking and collective decision-making.

Major Lower Limb Amputation for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Is Associated with Poor Long-Term Survival: 4-Year Follow-Up of a Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Despite advances in medicine, 30% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) require major lower limb amputation (MLLA). The long-term outcome of this cohort is poorly described. Methods: In all, 154 patients undergoing MLLA for CLTI during 2018-2020 were analyzed for short-term and long-term outcomes and prosthesis use. Results: In total, 106 below-knee amputations and 48 above-knee amputations were followed up for a mean duration of 50 months (37-78). The mean age of the cohort was 63 years. The majority were male (60%) with multiple comorbidities, including diabetes (83.8%), hypertension (49.4%), ischemic heart disease (20%), and smoking (32.5%). An equal proportion underwent MLLA as primary (45%) or secondary (55%). 30-day mortality was 6%. The mean length of in-hospital stay was 18 days (3-56). Overall survival rates at 1st, 2nd, and 4th year were 73%, 64%, and 35%, respectively. On a multivariate regression analysis, a higher level of amputation had a significant impact on mortality (p = 0.015). 54% of amputees had a prosthetic limb. However, the primary use of prosthesis was for cosmesis, with only 12% mobile independently. Conclusions: MLLA for CLTI is associated with poor early and long-term survival. Prosthesis use and mobility are extremely poor in the Sri Lankan context.

The article deals with the emotional burnout and identification of early signs of maladaptation in medical university students. The causes of emotional burnout among students of secondary vocational medical education can be various, including overload with academic assignments and exams, lack of social support, problems with personal life, financial difficulties and constraints in interaction with other students and teachers.The authors conduct a comparative study of the student groups of 1st (50 people) and 2nd (26 people) year of secondary vocational education and applicants in 2022 (370 people) and 2023 (321 people) admission to a medical university. To describe the main psychological characteristics of persons belonging to those groups, as well as to identify the relationship between the level of empathic abilities and the severity of character accentuations with the likelihood to occur for symptoms of emotional burnout in the learning process, on the basis of the Russian University of Medicine, applicants were surveyed and students were tested within the framework of secondary professional medical education using the following psychodiagnostic methods. The severity of the symptoms of emotional burnout was assessed using the method “Diagnosis of the level of emotional burnout” by V. Boyko; the features of the processes of empathy were studied by the method of V. Boyko “Diagnosis of the level of empathic abilities”. The features of the personal sphere, professional prospects and values are also studied using the methods of Shmishek-Leonhard, FPP and DDO by E.A. Klimov

Discovering and Mapping Aspects of Spatial Publicness

The value of public spaces and their social function in cities has been the source of numerous writings. The questions posed in our undergraduate architecture studio at the University of Cyprus are: “What core design aspects create successful public places, and how do they constitute conscious design processes?” and “What are core values that create successful public places and how are they consciously integrated in a design process?”. This paper will attempt to address the topic of spatial publicness within a framework of translating observations of the above into design strategies and tools. These aspects have formulated the basis for recent design briefs, tested within an architectural studio context from 2nd year coursework, while at the same time being translated into transferable values, such as diagnostic and synthetic tools, appropriate for an undergraduate architectural studio. They formulate the basis of an ongoing research project tested within the studio context and utilizing case studies from the output of students’ work to draw conclusions that guide the pedagogical approach.
