The interiority of buildings in tropical countries requires specific characteristics unlike those in countries with four distinct seasons. Buildings in non-tropical climates must protect their inhabitants from extreme weather, meaning that the architecture’s connection with nature is necessarily limited by a boundary which can withstand extreme climatic differences. In tropical countries, on the other hand, the temperature does not fluctuate much throughout the year, so the temperature difference between seasons is not extreme. This characteristic is reflected in traditional Nusantara architecture, which incorporates a breathable wall so that free winds come in, reducing heat. The roof is tilted or saddled-shaped to keep rain water away from the building. The architecture uses organic materials and includes terraces for dialogue with nature. Modern Indonesian architecture, however, particularly in large cities, is mostly closed off, severely limiting the interaction with nature. Since the advent of air conditioning (AC) technology during the 1980’s, architecture has changed to seal the boundaries of the building. Advances in information technology such as Internet and smartphones have made for further changes to architecture in the area; some functional spaces are being discarded, while others are expanded. The relationship between architecture and nature is now constrained by impenetrable materials such as brick, concrete and glass, as opposed to the more traditional, permeable boundary. In contrast to this trend, modern Indonesian society is tempted to form a closer relationship with nature. This paper examines how a relationship between nature and the interior of buildings may be accommodated again, presenting some existing projects by several architects from Europe and Asian countries—including the authors’ own work—as case studies.

Web-based intermediaries that offer crowdsourcing services represent a new and promising way through which firms can leverage the power of a crowd to sustain their innovation performance. However, limited attention has been devoted thus far to understanding the relationship between the intermediaries architecture, i.e., how they deliver their service, and the innovation problems they are designed to solve. Based on an empirical base of 7 in-depth case studies, two distinct architectures, namely competition and competence searching, will be described in the paper; it will be demonstrated that each type is designed to solve specific classes of innovation problems. The paper presents important implications both for firms and web-based intermediaries. On the one hand, firms should collaborate with the web-based intermediary which presents the architecture that best fits the innovation problem to be solved. On the other hand, web-based intermediaries should be designed in coherence with the problems at hand.

Songwriter Cole Porter is unusual in having had two biopics based on his life: Night and Day (1946) starring Cary Grant, and De-Lovely (2004), starring Kevin Kline. The differences in the treatment of the character of Cole Porter between the films are striking, and indicate a change in the way that society envisions its artists, and the very act of creativity. Night and Day was conceived partly as a showcase of Porter's songs, but also as a means of providing inspiration to soldiers returning wounded from World War II, based on Porter's recovery from a traumatic riding accident. It depicts Porter as an everyman following a trajectory of achievement, from having little to great success, which was positioned as easy to emulate. De-Lovely, on the other hand, is about the relationship between Porter and his wife Linda, and the way that his creativity was influenced by his changing relationships with various people. Drawing on the work on biopics of scholars such as G.F.Custen, together with research into the shifting ideas of how creativity operates and is popularly understood, this article uses these biopics as case studies to examine the representation of changing concepts of the artist and the act of creativity through Hollywood film. It also considers how these changing conceptions and representations connect to shifts in American society.

Com o desenvolvimento dos grandes centros urbanos e o aumento das áreas impermeáveis, surge a necessidade de aumentar as áreas permeáveis, sem abrir mão do pavimento de concreto e ainda assim ajudar na drenagem urbana, tirando a sobrecarga dos sistemas de drenagem tradicionais. Desse modo, o objetivo desta pesquisa é comparar dois traços de concreto permeável com as mesmas características físicas e mesmas compactações, mas tendo como diferença o tipo de cimento a ser empregado que serão o CP II-E e o CP II-Z, ambos com 32 MPa de resistência, com isso serão analisadas quais as mudanças na resistência e na permeabilidade dos corpos de prova que podem ocorrer. Serão moldados em laboratório cerca de 6 corpos de prova para ensaios de resistência à compressão e mais 4 corpos para os ensaios de permeabilidade que seguiram as especificações da NBR 16416 com algumas adaptações e foram cronometrados o tempo que o corpo de prova demorava para absorver certa quantidade de água e usando uma fórmula disponível na mesma norma. Os resultados indicam que não houve diferenças significativas entre os traços comparados, porém a resistência de ambos foram superiores às observadas em outras pesquisas e notou-se que os traços feitos com o CP II-Z tiveram uma ligeira vantagem, mas ainda ficam empatados com o outro traço. No quesito de permeabilidade, ambos têm um ótimo desempenho, pois atendem aos critérios mínimos da NBR 16416. Conclui-se que a comparação entre esses dois cimentos não mostrou tantas diferenças significativas, porém foi observado que a compactação e cura são elementos fundamentais para agregarem resistência aos pavimentos drenantes. Com isso, é possível ampliar o leque de aplicações para que no futuro se possa adotar o pavimento permeável até mesmo em vias públicas e rodovias.   A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STRENGTH AND HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY OF THE PERMEABLE PAVING ADDED WITH POZZOLAN   ABSTRACT Along with the development of large cities and the increase in impermeable areas, it raises the need for permeable areas expansion without forgoing the concrete paving and after all promoting urban drainage in order to unburden the traditional drainage systems. Accordingly, this study sought to compare two traits of permeable concrete with the same physical characteristics, the same compaction, although they differ in the type of concrete to be applied, they are CP II-E and CP II-Z, both 32 MPa resistant, hence possible changes to occur in strength and permeability of the specimen will be analyzed. In the laboratory, six specimens will be mold for compressive strength testing, and four extra specimens for permeability testing following NBR 16416 standard with some adaptations, we measured the time the specimen takes for absorbing an amount of water, as well as an available formula following the same standards.  The results suggest that there were no significant differences between the traits when compared. However, the strength for both was higher when compared to other studies, it was noticed that traits made with CP II-Z presented a slight advantage, nevertheless, they are similar to the other trait. Regarding permeability, both had a great performance, since they meet the minimum NBR 16416 standards. We concluded that the comparison between those concretes had not presented significant differences, though we observed that compaction and drying are key elements to add strength to draining concrete paving. Hence, it is possible to broaden applications in order to adopt permeable paving even for public roads and highways.   Keywords: Permeable paving. Drainage. Concrete.

AbstractAuthenticity is a key concept in the evaluation of rock music by critics and fans. The production of fakes challenges the means by which listeners evaluate the authentic, by questioning central notions of integrity and sincerity. This article examines the nature and motives of faking in recorded music, such as inventing imaginary groups or passing off studio recordings as live performances. In addition to a survey of types of fakes and the motives of those responsible for them, the article presents two case studies, one of the ‘fake’ American group the Residents, the other of the Unknown Deutschland series of releases, purporting to be hitherto unknown recordings of German rock groups from the 1970s. By examining the critical reception of these cases and taking into account ethical and aesthetic considerations, the article argues that the relationship between the authentic (the ‘real’) and the inauthentic (the ‘fake’) is complex. It concludes that, to judge from fans’ responses at least, the fake can be judged as possessing cultural value and may even be considered as authentic.

This article traces the uses of zeitgeist in early nineteenth-century European political discourse. To explain the concept's explosive takeoff in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, two perspectives are combined. On the one hand, the concept is shown to be a key element in the new, “temporalized” discourses of cultural reflection emerging during this time. On the other, its pragmatic value as a linguistic tool in concrete political constellations is outlined on the basis of case studies from French, British, and German political discourse. Developing this two-sided perspective, the article sheds light on an important aspect of early nineteenth-century political discourse while also pointing to some general considerations concerning the relationship between the semantic and pragmatic analysis of historical language use.

The hypothesis of our work is that the concepts of globalization, the information technology boom and Postmodernism are closely linked and that somehow eroded the ontological concepts of identity, individual and cultural diversity, in terms of the relationship I and the other. In the international strategic framework that other has fallen on Arab-Islamic culture. The thought of the Western world, with its logic of instrumental rationality has built stereotypes about that culture, ignoring its archetype. This reality is the one that perceives the concepts of the Arab-Islamic tradition of Jihad and Hijra only as ideas that lead to the destruction and not as a heritage of the philosophical and religious thought for the development of humanity. From a Jungian interpretation, both concepts and the psychic behaviors that derive from them, outside the fallacious and violent interpretations, are valuable contributions to humanity in the current situation.

The Relationship

Failed Information Technology (IT) projects are common in organisations, as IT solutions often do not meet the expectations of business clients. Business experts often have a negative perception of the people working in the IT function. There seems to be a proverbial “chicken-and-egg situation”: the relationship between business and IT suffers because IT projects fail to solve the real business need and, on the other hand, many IT projects fail because of existing interpersonal relationship problems between business- and IT employees. Research was done to identify categories of issues in the business-IT interface and rank them in order of significance. The term “fusion” is used in this paper, to refer to the process by which the elements of the IT function and the rest of the business work together to achieve a common goal. This paper reports on the categories of issues and draws a conclusion of what would constitute fusion in the business-IT interface.
