Facade Design and the Outdoor Acoustic Environment: A Case Study at Batna 1 University

The relationship between architectural design and outdoor acoustic environments remains underexplored, particularly in educational spaces where noise levels impact comfort and usability. This study investigates the impact of building facade height on the outdoor acoustic environment in university courtyards. Acoustic measurements were conducted in two courtyards at Batna 1 University, each surrounded by buildings with distinct facade heights. Key acoustic parameters, including reverberation time (RT), early decay time (EDT), rapid speech transmission index (RaSTI), Definition (D50), and sound pressure level (SPL) attenuation were evaluated at specified source-receiver distances. The results reveal a strong correlation between RT20 and distance at higher frequencies due to building facade reflections, while lower frequencies are more influenced by geometric configuration and material absorption properties. The results demonstrate that RT and EDT increase logarithmically or polynomially with distance, especially at higher frequencies (2000–4000 Hz), due to the decrease in direct sound energy and increase in reflected sound amplitude. Taller building facades lead to longer RT and EDT values compared to lower heights. D50 and RaSTI decrease polynomially with increasing source–receiver distance, with lower values observed in the courtyard with taller facades, indicating reduced speech clarity. The SPL attenuation is influenced by surrounding geometry, with the least reduction in the courtyard with lower facade heights, followed by the taller facade courtyard, contrasting with semi-free field conditions. These findings highlight the significant role of building facade height and architectural elements in shaping the acoustic characteristics of outdoor spaces, providing valuable insights for designing acoustically comfortable urban environments, particularly in educational settings.

The AI Chatbot Always Flirts With Me, Should I Flirt Back: From the McDonaldization of Friendship to the Robotization of Love

How is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as machine learning (ML) algorithms and Large Language Models (LLMs), in social chatbots transforming friendship and love? This study investigates Replika, an app offering AI friends and/or lovers to users. Unlike most AI companion research grounded in Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) and interpersonal communication theories, this study employs the sociological concept of McDonaldization to interrogate broader social and cultural implications of Replika. I argue that McDonaldization offers a systematic framework to understand the fast friendship and fast love provided by social chatbots while accounting for its limits in addressing the personalization enabled by emerging AI technologies. To bridge the conceptual gap, I propose the term “Robotization of Love,” pointing to the merging of efficient, quantifiable, predictable, and controllable love and algorithmically personalized love. The Robotization of Love also underscores the growing significance of robotic elements in shaping our affection and sociality.

Subsurface complexity controls the aquifer heterogeneity: A case study from the Al-Hassa oasis, Eastern Saudi Arabia

Al-Hassa region in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia is well-known for its geological and hydrogeological importance since it has historically hosted over 280 natural springs, which were used to irrigate the largest oasis in the world. Al-Hassa is located near the renowned Ghawar oil field, the largest conventional oil field globally, which represents a potential pollution source. This study utilizes and integrate hydrochemical investigations and geophysical gravity surveys to understand and reconstruct the subsurface heterogeneity in the Al-Hassa area. The dataset encompasses 113 groundwater wells distributed across the Al-Hassa Oasis which have been analyzed for salinity major ions, and isotopic (oxygen and hydrogen) compositions. A total of 571 gravity stations covering the broader oasis area (approximately 350 km2) are collected, processed, and modeled. The combined hydrochemical and geophysical results show a good agreement between groundwater quality and density (gravity anomalies) distribution within the study area. The southeastern part of the study area exhibits distinctive positive gravity anomalies, indicating denser rock formations alongside high total dissolved solids (TDS) in groundwater, reflecting poor water quality. Conversely, the southwest displays significant negative gravity anomalies, suggesting basins filled with loose sediments and low TDS values, signifying good water quality. Furthermore, the study reveals a certain pattern in groundwater temperature distribution, with cooler waters in the areas characterized by negative gravity anomalies (basins), and hotter waters emerging from areas with positive gravity anomalies. These findings suggest that groundwater quality differences may stem from varying sub-basins and interactions with distinct geological substrates. Temperature variations may also be attributed to differing subsurface flow pathways. This study attempts to explain the controlling factors for groundwater heterogeneity in the Al-Hassa Oasis area, emphasizing the role of geological, tectonic, and hydrogeological elements in shaping the Oasis's hydrological and hydrochemical pattern.

A tale of two formats: Graduate students’ perceptions and preferences of interactivity in Responsible conduct of research education

ABSTRACT Background The significance of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) education in higher education is well-acknowledged. However, the lack of interactivity in online RCR courses remains a concern for course designers and instructors. This research aims to identify types of interactivity embedded in RCR courses and examine graduate students’ perceived interactivity in different course formats (online versus face-to-face) by two distinct samples. Methods/Materials Study one, involving 191 participants, identified the model construct of the Learner Perceptions of Interactivity Scale for RCR. The result indicated a 15-item scale characterized by three factors: self-control, human-interaction, and information-access. Study two, involving a sample of 390 individuals who received both formats of RCR instruction, confirmed the instrument’s reliability and explored students’ perceptions of interactivity types within the two formats. Results Notably, students in Study 2 perceived a higher degree of human interaction in the face-to-face format while attributing more significance to self-control and information access in the online course. Approximately 80% of the students expressed a preference for a fully online course if given another opportunity to choose or recommend a format. This preference was attributed to their inclination toward more control and access, underscoring the significance of these elements in shaping their learning experiences.

Diverse bacterial hosts and potential risk of antibiotic resistomes in ship ballast water revealed by metagenomic binning

Ship ballast water promoting the long-range migration of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has raised a great concern. This study attempted to reveal ARGs profile in ballast water and decipher their hosts and potential risk using metagenomic approaches. In total, 710 subtypes across 26 ARG types were identified among the ballast water samples from 13 ships of 11 countries and regions, and multidrug resistance genes were the most dominant ARGs. The composition of ARGs were obviously different across samples, and only 5% of the ARG subtypes were shared by all samples. Procrustes analysis showed the bacterial community contributed more than the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in shaping the antibiotic resistome. Further, 79 metagenome-assembled genomes (46 genera belong to four phyla) were identified as ARG hosts, with predominantly affiliated with the Proteobacteria. Notably, potential human pathogens (Alcaligenes, Mycolicibacterium, Rhodococcus and Pseudomonas) were also recognized as the ARG hosts. Above 30% of the ARGs hosts contained the MGEs simultaneously, supporting a pronounced horizontal gene transfer capability. A total of 43 subtypes (six percent of overall ARGs) of ARGs were assessed with high-risk, of which 23 subtypes belonged to risk Rank I (including rsmA, ugd, etc.) and 20 subtypes to the risk Rank II (including aac(6)-I, sul1, etc.). In addition, antibiotic resistance risk index indicated the risk of ARGs in ballast water from choke points of maritime trade routes was significantly higher than that from other regions. Overall, this study offers insights for risk evaluation and management of antibiotic resistance in ballast water.

Memaknai Realitas Dunia Maya: Kajian Dramaturgi dalam Film Semu

This article attempts to look at the acute phenomenon of the social media generation with its activities and images in cyberspace. The film entitled "Semu" as a short film is able to depict the self-image of a teenager on social media nicely. A common social context in modern times where many people are accustomed to using smartphones and social media as part of their daily routine. On the other hand, the film Semu depicts that existence on social media is often important for individuals who want to portray a different image of themselves than they really are. This article finds that content and activities on social media are the main elements in shaping the online existence of a person or entity on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other media. So falsehood on social media is a phenomenon where individuals or entities present information, images or identities that are inaccurate or do not correspond to reality via social media platforms. In this context, dramaturgy refers to theoretical analysis used in theater and performance studies to understand and dismantle false identities in cyberspace. The impact is that the public does not trust someone's activities on social media. Photos and videos can easily be used to manipulate netizens, their dismantling results in distrust of the images and content that someone continues to produce.

A Cognitive Semantic Analysis of Selected American Political Caricatures on Covid 19

Political caricatures are reflections of real situations or affairs that are summarized through drawings. Recently, they have become key elements in political communication since they manipulate different verbal and visual elements in shaping the political messages and attracting the recipient's attention. These different modes include verbal and visual elements. Accordingly, they provide a new framework to understand political discourse. This paper is an attempt to examine the efficiency of Langacker’s (2008-2017) construal dimension of prominence to the analysis of visual and verbal elements of political caricatures. It aims to prove that the prominence parameters of profiling and trajectory/ landmark alignment can account for the phenomenon of multiple construal triggered by visual and verbal modes, and the process of meaning construction in political caricatures. To achieve these aims, a sample of American political caricatures published on Covid 19 has been selected to be analyzed. Analysis of the selected data shows that the semantic content of the political cartoons resides on the visual and verbal elements employed in these caricatures. Both types of elements highly depend on Langacker’s two construal parameters of prominence, profiling and trajector/landmark, in constructing and conveying their intended messages. In addition, the way the conceptualizers construe the scenes participates greatly to decoding these messages.

INVESTIGATING COMMERCIAL URBAN CORRIDORS - A PILOT STUDY IN BEIRUT LEBANON

Urban environments are multifaceted, varied, dynamic, complex, and evolving as are the underlying features for human health and wellbeing (Bai, Nath, Capon, Hasan & Jaron, 2020). Healthy and resilient cities can be entry points and platforms for change, adaptation and innovation to achieve optimal health for urban communities and the environment (Regional Framework for Urban Health in the Western Pacific 2016–2020: Healthy and Resilient Cities, 2016). Planners considered urban corridors, which are connection and access between urban districts, as major elements in shaping the city image and forming its identity and investigating them are vital for enhancing healthy and resilient cities. Narrowing the scope on commercial urban corridors, which are a concentration of retail stores that serve a common trade area and lie along a single street (Catherine Dyste, 2012). These corridors can be seen as a dynamic space, but at the same time, they are created to create a range of experiences (Shaban et al., 2018). Improving commercial urban corridors requires several indicators for reviving the companionable and sociable life of a street. Problems occur when space use is not driven. The society therefore uses the urban commercial corridor according to their own interests. This condition may generate conflict between users of the 'Link' and users of the 'Space’, may make the corridor an uncomfortable location, and may decreases its livability. Rapid urbanization and unplanned rapid changes of commercial activities in corridors that have an impact on the surrounding streets and users’ activities imposes burdens on surrounding land use and mobility. However, this problem has contributed to various issues such as traffic congestion, pollution, decrease in green areas and degradation of the urban quality of living. That’s why investigating these corridors is imperative to know its utilization and functioning to identify the existing problems and chaos in the corridor since they are facing significant challenges, which is the lack of reliable knowledge on their characteristics and development; important for local authorities to provide wealth of knowledge and data collection. The paper aims to investigate commercial urban corridors to identify and analyze livability aspects and indicators for reviving its companionable and sociable life that can be implemented in a way of a considerable checklist which acts as a systematic structure for communicating the data required, diagnosing issues, and defining the strengths and limitations of the efficiency of a commercial urban corridor to promote a healthy and resilient urban context. To achieve the aim, the research investigates a commercial urban corridor focusing on one of the urban corridors in Beirut, Lebanon. By using Geoportal Interactive Tool, conducted by UN-Habitat and UNICEF to create cartography of the existing conditions of the pilot study, and then analyzes the aspects and indicators of livability based on cartography, walk through analysis and face-to-face interviews with inhabitants in area. After analyzing the commercial urban corridor and identifying the effective indicators, the research resulted in proposing some guidelines for enhancing livability in commercial urban corridors, which were mainly related to the physical aspect since it defines the most inadequate quality and performance.
