(Dis-)Continuation of Territoriality: A Framework for Analysis of the Role of Social Practices in (Re-)Production of Space by Anica Dragutinovic, Susanne Kost

“…The main findings are related to the (1) methodological contribution—operationalisation of the “praxeological quadrat of cultural analysis”, and (2) substantive contribution—revealing the role of social practices on the continuation of territoriality of the region. The article presents cultural patterns in the perception of and orientation towards long-past territorialities by the interviewees and makes clear what significance these historical and historicising spatial references have for the spatial planning of the present.…”

Ductility of continuous RC beams strengthened with partially bonded near-surface mounted CFRP bars by Mahmoud A. Abdelraouf, Ayman H. Khalil, Ahmed F. Maree, Amr M. Ibrahim

“…Then, a comprehensive parametric study was performed to expand the results using different CFRP bonded lengths, CFRP reinforcement ratios, retrofit patterns, and steel reinforcement ratios. The obtained results indicate that partially bonding the CFRP bars can improve the beam’s deformability, ductility, and moment redistribution. …”

Continued collaboration of ex situ and in situ programs is critical for the genetic sustainability of the endangered Rana pretiosa by Briar Hunter, Anne-Laure Ferchaud, Eric Normandeau, Kendra Morgan, Arne Mooers, Gabriela Mastromonaco, David Lesbarrères

“…Mixed source zoo populations were less differentiated from their wild source populations than the latter were among themselves, indicating sufficient representation of wild populations in zoo populations. The patterns we uncover support continued collaboration of ex situ and in situ endeavours as supplementation will likely be required for the long-term viability of the very wild populations the zoos rely on for genetic sustainability.…”

Imbalance‌ and‌ Heterogeneous‌ Behavioral‌ Patterns‌ of‌ Regional‌ Powers‌ in‌ Syria‌ Crisis‌ Managment by Neda Kahrizi, Ghodrat Ahmadian

“…This research, by a descriptive approach, looking for an answer to the question of "Why does the Syrian crisis with its unmanagement in the imbalance of power in international system continues as such?" One of the reasons of the unmanaging the Syrian crisis- by using the library method- is the heterogeneity of behavioral patterns adopted by the regional powers, such as Islamic Republic of Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, to manage the crisis in the unbalanceed structure of the system. …”
