Climate Change And The New Order In Georges-Jean Arnaud's La Compagnie Des Glaces : Novums And Alternative Worlds Or Reference To Reality, Badia Mazboudi

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Apocalyptic, without utopia, the world, as described in La Compagnie des glaces, volumes 15 and 16 by G-J Arnaud (1983), is covered in ice, the origin of which is the anthropocene and capitalocene ecological crisis. These two series belong to the cli-fi genre, a neologism coined by Dan Bloom, and they are part of 98 episodes written by the author about her. Our purpose in this article is to study the new order that the climate crisis has engendered, an order because this world, which resembles our own, is governed by the Ice Companies that lay the railroads, which have …

Between The Imagination Of Legends And The Challenge Of Reality: Writing To Save The Planet, Nadia Iskandarani

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Climate change is a global phenomenon due to global warming, characterized by a general increase in average temperatures. This change is linked to industrial activity, in particular to the greenhouse effect, which is why it is said to be of human origin. Alongside scientists, writers now include themes linked to global warming. New genres have appeared such as climate fiction. Thomas B. Reverdy, in his novel Climax describes the end of the world in the context of global warming. The action takes place in the north, towards the Arctic. The story involves various protagonists who remember Norse legends about the …

Climate Change And Neologisms: Towards A Lexico-Semantic Study, Abdelfetah Nacer Idrissi

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Climate change, a global phenomenon resulting from human activity and natural factors, is one of the most pressing concerns of our time. The impacts of global warming, rising sea levels, extreme weather events and biodiversity loss are increasingly evident. Equally remarkable is the impact this colossal challenge is having on our language, a living mirror of our collective understanding of the world. Indeed, the appearance of terms such as "ecoanxiety", "climavore" and "energy transition" are all signs of a profound transformation of the lexicon, demonstrating our growing commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness.

Designing Adaptive Facades Using Biomimicry For Improving Daylighting In Office Building: A Case Study Of Cairo, Egypt, Hosam Abd El-Aziz Amr, Nada Essam

Journal of Engineering Research

The paper explores the use of biomimicry to enhance façade design and improve daylighting performance in office buildings in Cairo, Egypt. By emulating natural processes, adaptive facades were developed to increase energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Initial studies examined biomimicry principles and international case studies of adaptive facades. Simulations of a façade inspired by the Gazania flower's nyctinasty movement showed significant improvements: the area achieving optimal illuminance (300-3000 lux) increased from 24.2% to 37.4%, and Spatial Daylight Autonomy (SDA) has decreased from 82% to 68%. These findings demonstrate biomimicry's effectiveness in addressing daylighting challenges in hot climates. The research underscores …

Due to the rapid spread of sharing economy applications worldwide, such as the Uber/Airbnb application, many researchers in various sectors question how to benefit from this new economic model. The research deals with studying the concept of sharing and types of sharing, the concept of the sharing economy, and the classification of its various sectors, which led to the …

A Review Of Effective Urban Strategies For Enhancing Pedestrian Thermal Comfort In High-Temperature Urban Environments, Norhan Mahmoud Mohamed Ibrahim Ali, Ahmed H. Aboulsaadat, Ingy I. El-Darwish, Ayman Gamal Eldin Ahmed Abdel Tawab

Journal of Engineering Research

Abstract- Pedestrian well-being is significantly influenced by the feeling of being thermally comfortable, and enhancing this comfort level contributes to the overall walkability. This study extensively compares the impact of different approaches in enhancing thermal comfort for pedestrians. The evaluation encompasses both fieldwork observations and computer simulations results. The investigated strategies include the urban geometry (arrangement, orientation and shape of urban structures), vegetation, solar-reflective materials, and water features. These strategies are considered the most effective means for improving outdoor thermal comfort. The findings reveal that the key climatic factors influencing outdoor thermal comfort in a microclimate are mean radiant temperature, …

Influence Of Concrete Jacketing On The Performance Of Steel Columns Under Blast Induced Progressive Collapse, Hanan Eltobgy Prof., Mohamed Saeed Refaey Dr., Mohamed Ahmed Aboshok Dr., Ahmed Emadel-Din Abdel-Aal Eng.

Journal of Engineering Research

This study investigates the influence of concrete jacketing on the performance of steel columns subjected to blast loading, which can lead to progressive collapse. Using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations, the research evaluates concrete-encased steel columns with different concrete cover thicknesses to measure their resistance to lateral displacements induced by blasts. Findings reveal that increasing the thickness of the concrete cover markedly improves the column's ability to withstand such loads. The study also highlights that steel has better energy dissipation properties than concrete. It examines how the combined challenges of progressive collapse and blast loading influence the overall structural response …
