SENTIDO DE APROPIACIÓN AL ESPACIO INTERIOR DEL HÁBITAT DOMÉSTICO

La construcción de viviendas en serie en Cuenca y alrededor del mundo se han incrementado de manera exponencial, convirtiéndose en una solución habitacional desarrollada en el campo inmobiliario. Si bien la construcción en serie entrega un recurso para satisfacer una necesidad básica de las personas, es necesario investigar el sentido de apropiación al espacio interior del hábitat doméstico considerando que los espacios no fueron proyectados ni resueltos bajo un programa de necesidades realizados a medida. El objetivo de la investigación es indagar la identificación simbólica y las transformaciones realizadas en los departamentos modelos para comprender el sentido de apropiación y concebir las auto creaciones y auto representaciones de los propietarios en sus espacios interiores. Palabras clave: Apropiación, hábitat doméstico, vivienda colectiva, transformación espacial. AbstractSerial housing construction in Cuenca and around the world has increased drammatically, becoming a housing solution developed in the real estate field. Although serial construction is a source of satisfaction to basic needs of people, it is necessary to investigate the sense of appropriation to the interior space of the domestic habitat considering that the spaces were not projected or solved under a program of needs adapted to a specifi measure. The objective of the research was to investigate the symbolic identification and the transformations carried out in the model apartments to understand the sense of appropriation and conceive the owners' self-creations and self-representations in their interior spaces. Keywords: Ownership, domestic habitat, collective housing, spatial transformation.

The Name of the Rose: Novel, Film, TV Series between Intermediality and Transmediality

We will consider the diverse strategies of adaptation employed in the case of Umberto Eco’s celebrated novel The Name of the Rose (1980) by examining the intricate passage from Eco’s novel to Jean Jacques Annaud’s film (The Name of the Rose, 1986) and the new Italian TV series (The Name of the Rose, 2019 – on air). We will look for some translational ‘continuities,’ trying a comparative semiotic analysis of some novel sequences and the film and the TV series. Regarding the TV series, we will also explore some extensions and ‘discontinuities’ of transmedia reinterpretations. According to Mittell, transmedia storytelling could be both ‘centripetal’ and ‘centrifugal.’ based on this distinction, we analyze the serial construction of the first season of The Name of the Rose, deepening the backstories of the characters or creating a sort of ‘paraquel’ for totally new characters.

Problems of Renovation of Urban Areas Under the Houses of Large-Panel Serial Construction of 1960-1970 in Terms of Project Financing

Currently, there is an acute issue concerning large-panel buildings of the first massive construction both in Russia and in Irkutsk Oblast, specifically with a series of 1-335 in all its modifications. There are about 400 such buildings in Irkutsk. The minimum required volumes for recovery in the city are more than 700 thousand square meters of total area. The operating life of these houses is about 30 years, which already suggests that they are not suitable for life. Also, I will support this statement by the fact that the panels were made of aerated concrete (performing the function of bearing and self-supporting walls), which both contributes to harmful effects on the residents organisms and to the condition of the building itself, as the aerated concrete in course of time reacted with reinforcement, which it almost completely destroyed. Numerous examinations confirm the presence of defects, destruction of materials and damages. The above-mentioned points at the need of reconstructing the buildings of the of Soviet construction. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the problems that will arise in construction organizations involved in the renovation and integrated development of territories occupied by dilapidated and substandard housing in the new context of project financing instead of shared construction.

Explosive Pluralisms

A specifically Germanic tradition of opera was renewed in Zimmermann’s Die Soldaten, an ambitious serial construction saddled with an antiwar moral. Zimmermann approached the problem of tradition by recasting opera as an inherently monstrous, pluralistic, and multivalent art form. Rather than steering around Wagner, Berg, and the modernists who had problematized opera, Zimmermann regarded them as a legacy worth confronting. He programmatically addressed modern music’s relationship to history, referring to old forms as Berg had done and incorporating new influences in an updated Gesamtkunstwerk. He positioned opera as a site for the serialist realization of his concept of the “spherical shape of time” (Kugelgestalt der Zeit). His allusions shaped the work’s formal structure and characterization, the rigidity of which in turn suggested an analogy to the inevitability of societal oppression. Archival documents show Zimmermann negotiating a balance between serialist control and Expressionist verve.

The Analysis of Prototype Cast Constructions and the Assessment of their Technological and Exploitation Properties

The article describes the application of various methods of rapid prototyping for manufacturing of prototype castings. This technology assumes that the properties of such a casting are similar to properties of a casting obtained in serial production involving die-casting technologies or high pressure die casting. However, other conditions of metal preparation, pouring, and the solidification process, related to the specificity of manufacturing of a single casting with the application of rapid prototyping, as compared to serial production generate different final properties. Numerical simulations of exploitation conditions, with the use of Ansys and Abaqus software, were conducted for selected constructions taking into account the final properties of a casting. MAGMASoft software was used for the analysis of the technological process for manufacturing of prototype castings, as well as in serial production. The article describes the consecutive stages for manufacturing of selected prototype castings - from the moment of designing to manufacturing of a ready-made element. The selected elements were produced with the use of rapid prototyping with a 3D Z-Corp printer and a FDM Titan machine, and then model sets were prepared for casting with the application of the lost wax casting technique.The conducted analysis was aimed at defining methodology for manufacturing prototype castings with the use of numerical simulation tools, especially the implementation of boundary conditions achieved as a result of solidification analysis and techniques of rapid prototyping. It was stated that final properties of a prototype casting and a serial casting may be different, which may impact the assessment of the construction under development. The use of numerical calculations for the assessment of a prototype and serial construction with exploitation parameters broadens the expertise with final properties of the analysed construction.

Challenges of SMR Licensing Practices

This paper aims to increase the understanding of high level Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) licensing processes in Finland, France, the UK, Canada and the USA. These countries have been selected for this study because of their different licensing processes and recent actions in new NPP construction. After discussing their similarities and differences, suitable features for Small Modular Reactor licensing can be emphasized and suggested. Some of the studied licensing processes have elements that are already quite well suited for application to SMRs, but all of these different national processes can benefit from studying and implementing lessons learned from SMR specific licensing needs. The main SMR features to take into account in licensing are standardization of the design, modularity, mass production and serial construction. Modularity can be divided into two different categories: the first category is simply a single unit facility constructed of independently engineered modules (e.g., construction process for Westinghouse AP-1000 NPP) and the second is a facility structure composed of many reactor modules where modules are manufactured in factories and installed into the facility as needed (e.g., NuScale Power SMR design). Short construction schedules will not be fully benefitted from if the long licensing process prolongs the commissioning and approach to full-power operation. The focus area of this study is to better understand the possibility of SMR deployment in small nuclear countries, such as Finland, which currently has four operating NPPs. The licensing process needs to be simple and clear to make SMR deployment feasible from an economical point of view. This paper uses public information and interviews with experts to establish the overview of the different licensing processes and their main steps. A high-level comparison of the licensing steps has been carried out. Certain aspects of the aviation industry licensing process have also been studied and certain practices have been investigated as possibly suitable for use in nuclear licensing. All of the current licensing processes were found to be quite heavy and time-consuming and further streamlining could be possible without compromising safety or the need for public participation in the licensing process. Some examples of the modification possibilities for SMR applications are discussed. A profound discussion on SMR-specific licensing models, and on ways to simplify and harmonize them, will be needed in the near future in Europe too. This would be a natural continuation to the harmonization efforts underway for existing and new large reactors.

Study on a Vision Sensing System for the Parameter Estimation of a Serial Construction Robot

In this paper, a vision sensing system was developed in order to measure the gesture of a serial construction robot and the cylinder displacement of each actuator. The system consists of a single CCD video camera and several light sources which were used to acquire the distance information of key points of the construction robot. The three-dimensional coordinates of key points were obtained from a two-dimensional video image by using image processing. The gesture of the construction robot and the cylinder displacement of each hydraulic actuator were calculated via the inverse kinematics method. In addition, the validity of the proposed method was confirmed through an experiment of parameter estimation for the friction characteristics of a hydraulic cylinder.

Instrumental Take-Serial Constructions in Haitian and in Fon

Since the paper by Jansen et al (1978), it is a well-known fact that serializing languages divide into two major groups: those which have Take-serial constructions and those which don’t. Haitian creole has Take-serial constructions, as exemplified in (l):(1)Jan pran kabrit ale nan macheJohn take goat go in market‘John brought the goat in the market.’Among the languages which have Take-serial constructions, languages further divide into two groups: those which have instrumental Take constructions and those which do not. An example of an instrumental Take-serial construction is provided in (2). In these constructions, the subject of the second verb is interpreted as the instrument of the complex predicate formed by the series of verbs.
