Architectural Impermanence: Tectonic Ecology Of The Sumbanese Traditional House, Yenny Gunawan, Justin Coupertino Umbu, Marianne Trautten

ARSNET

This research proposes tectonic ecology as the framework for understanding the impermanence of architecture, challenging the views of permanence in architecture and positioning impermanence as an ecological building practice. This study explores the idea of impermanence in vernacular architecture as a living spatial practice, acknowledging the growth, decay, and regeneration taking place in such a context. The research focuses on the Sumbanese traditional house in Weelewo Village, Southwest Sumba, as a case study. The Sumbanese house is constructed with natural materials and utilises joinery without using nails. The study collected data on the local construction practice through fieldwork, which included …

The Mediation Of Job Satisfaction And Organizational Commitment On Transformational Leadership And Employee Retention In Business Process Outsourcing Companies In Metro Manila: A Serial Mediation Analysis, Joel Mark Pirote Rodriguez, Jessie F. Sergote, Lourdes Palallos, Nelson R. Garcia

The South East Asian Journal of Management

Research Aims: Few studies have taken into consideration transformational leadership's influence on employee retention via work satisfaction and organisational commitment, despite the fact that it has been demonstrated to positively affect organisationally relevant employee attitudes and performance.

Exploration Psychology: Preparing Explorers More Effectively For Expeditions., Jon Rhodes

School of Psychology

Exploration environments expose individuals and teams to prolonged uncertainty, physical risk, and cognitive strain. Despite advances in expedition technology and logistics, psychological preparation for extreme environments remains comparatively underdeveloped. This presentation introduces the concept of exploration psychology as an applied framework for preparing individuals and teams to function effectively in high-risk and unpredictable expedition contexts. Drawing on research from performance psychology, stress physiology, and cognitive science, the talk outlines how psychological mechanisms underlying fear, attention, and decision-making influence behaviour in extreme environments. Fear responses involve rapid amygdala activation followed by potential top-down regulation through prefrontal cognitive appraisal, shaping behavioural responses …

Speculating The Architecture Of Nothingness Through Void Operations, Fatiharla Imanisahda, Yandi Andri Yatmo

ARSNET

This speculative design study aims to construct the idea of nothingness as an active and generative element of architecture. Nothingness, understood as voids, empty, and negative spaces, can be reinterpreted as a productive condition that opens up new spatial possibilities. Such a productive condition demonstrates the interdependence between nothingness and the spatial existence of something. The project explores how nothingness constructs the perceptibility of particular spatial terrain through void as architectural design operations. Through creating dystopian contextual scenarios where all spaces have been used up, the study identifies various void forms present in existing structures, classifying these voids based on …

Plain Language Summary Of Publication: Expert Consensus On The Early Use Of Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics In People With Bipolar I Disorder, Martha Sajatovic

Faculty Scholarship

Plain Language Summary: What is this summary about? This summary highlights key insights from expert psychiatrists on the early use of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics for treating people with bipolar I disorder. What were the results? LAI antipsychotics are usually reserved as a ‘last resort’ treatment in people with bipolar I disorder, even though evidence supports their early use. Barriers to earlier use of LAIs include access issues and views that healthcare providers and people with bipolar I disorder have about this type of medication. If the treatment plan of people with bipolar I disorder includes antipsychotics, experts recommend using …

Esg Investing Breaches Erisa Fiduciary Duties? A Closer Look At Spence V. American Airlines, Inc., Eric Chin-Ru Chang

Seattle University Law Review

In Spence v. American Airlines, Inc., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas found that American Airlines breached its fiduciary duties due to BlackRock’s ESG investing practices. Contrary to some reports suggesting that the ruling prohibits ESG investing under ERISA, a closer look at the ruling shows that the court only targeted American Airlines’ failure to manage conflicts of interest appropriately, rather than the legality of ESG investing itself. In light of the intensifying ESG backlash in the United States, this Article cautions against further restrictive measures on ESG investing. Such measures would exacerbate the widening …

Mempertanyakan Keyakinan Pada Kemampuan Artificial Intelligence Khususnya Strong Ai: Sebuah Perspektif Realis Kritis, Meutia Irina Mukhlis

Multikultura

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most popular albeit divisive topics up for debate today. On the one hand, die-hard proponents of AI believe that AI may one day come close to possessing human-level intelligence or even supersedes it (this view of AI is called strong AI) while on the other, some seem unconvinced of the promises of strong AI and prefer to believe in a weaker form of AI, an AI that might be able to do some functions humans assign to them or simulate basic level of human intelligence. This paper leans more toward the latter’s view. …
