What are the basic issues of responsible building? This chapter addresses that question by analyzing not only the codes and conduct necessary to produce buildings of “commodity, firmness, and delight,” but also buildings that speak their site and surroundings. Ethics building is simply good design in the abstract, but appropriate and perhaps even harmonious design—or, when thought possible and necessary, design that is disharmonious to good effect.

Energi terbarukan adalah salah satu masalah energi paling terkenal saat ini. Ada beberapa sumber potensial energi terbarukan. Salah satu energi terbarukan yang umum dan sederhana adalah energi matahari. Masalah besar ketersediaan energi saat ini adalah terbatasnya sumber energi konvensional seperti bahan bakar. Ini semua sumber energi memiliki banyak masalah karena memiliki jumlah energi yang terbatas. Penting untuk membuat model dan analisis berdasarkan ketersediaan sumber energi. Energi matahari adalah energi terbarukan yang paling disukai di negara-negara khatulistiwa saat ini. Tergantung pada produksi energi surya di daerah tertentu untuk memiliki desain dan analisis energi matahari yang baik. Untuk memiliki analisis yang baik tentang itu, dalam makalah ini kami membuat model prediksi energi surya berdasarkan data iradiasi matahari. Kami membuat model energi surya dan angin dengan menggunakan Metode Autoregresif Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). Model ini diimplementasikan oleh R Studio yang kuat dari statistik. Sebagai hasil akhir, kami mendapatkan model statistik solar yang dibandingkan dengan data aktualRenewable energy is one of the most fomous issues of energy today. There are some renewable energy potential sources. One of the common n simple renewable energy is solar energy. The big problem of the availability of energy today is the limeted sources of conventional enery like fuel. This all energy sources have a lot of problem because it has a limited number of energy. It is important to make a model and analysis based on the availability of the energy sources. Solar energy is the most prefered renewable energy in equator countries today. It depends on the production of solar energy in certain area to have a good design and analysis of  the solar energy. To have a good analysis of it, in this paper we make a prediction model of solar energy based on the data of solar irradiation. We make the solar and wind enery model by using Autoregresif Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) Method. This model is implemented by R Studio that is a powerfull of statistical. As the final result, we got the statistical model of solar comparing with the actual data

In the practice of integrated water management we meet complexity, subjectivity and uncertainties. Uncertainties come into play when new urban water management techniques are applied. The art of a good design is not to reduce uncertainties as much as possible, but to find the middle course between cowardice and recklessness. This golden mean represents bravery. An interdisciplinary approach is needed to reach consensus. Calculating uncertainties by using Monte Carlo simulation results may be helpful.

Internet-mediated research (IMR) has grown expansively since the start of the 21st Century in scope, range of methodological possibilities, and breadth of penetration across disciplines and research domains. However, the use of IMR approaches to support qualitative research has lagged behind its application in supporting quantitative methods. This chapter discusses the possibilities of using IMR methods in qualitative research and considers the issues and debates that have led some qualitative researchers to be reluctant to consider IMR as a viable alternative to traditional offline methods. The chapter adopts an optimistic stance on the potential for qualitative IMR and outlines a range of possible methods and strategies, as well as examples of successful (and less successful) studies. Practical advice on tools, procedures, and guidelines for good design practice is offered. A comment on likely future scope, methods, emerging techniques, and developments in qualitative IMR is presented.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a global disease with rapidly rising incidence and prevalence. It is associated with a higher risk of stroke, dementia, cognitive decline, sudden and cardiovascular death, heart failure and impairment in quality of life. The disease is a major burden on the healthcare system. Paroxysmal AF is typically managed with medications or endocardial catheter ablation to good effect. However, a large proportion of patients with AF have persistent or long-standing persistent AF, which are more complex forms of the condition and thus more difficult to treat. This is in part due to the progressive electro-anatomical changes that occur with AF persistence and the spread of arrhythmogenic triggers and substrates outside of the pulmonary veins. The posterior wall of the left atrium is a common site for these changes and has become a target of ablation strategies to treat these more resistant forms of AF. In this review, we discuss the role of the posterior left atrial wall in persistent and long-standing persistent AF, the limitations of current endocardial-focused treatment strategies, and future perspectives on hybrid epicardial–endocardial approaches to posterior wall isolation or ablation.

Abstract Background/Aims  Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) require blood monitoring as recommended by the British Society for Rheumatology guidelines. Deranged liver function tests are a common abnormality, and when a significant transaminitis occurs further investigations are required. We wish to present three cases where a transaminitis was caused by acute hepatitis E. Hepatitis E rarely causes illness in the general population. Transmission can occur via sewage-contaminated food and water, undercooked or raw pig and game meat, or processed pork and shellfish. Blood transfusion and solid organ transplantation is very rare. There is an estimated 60,000 cases of Hepatitis E per year in England. Those who are immunosuppressed are more likely to develop chronic liver disease. Methods  . Results  Case 1 is 55 year old male with a seronegative inflammatory arthritis treated with methotrexate and sulfasalazine whose ALT rose to 2043 U/l. After a negative liver screen including autoantibodies, Hepatitis E IgM was detected. Case 2 is a 71 year old male with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis prescribed Methotrexate and Sulfasalazine who developed a transaminitis following a holiday to Spain. Hepatitis E serology was positive. Case 3 is a 65 year old male with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis on Abatacept and Methotrexate who also developed deranged liver function tests following a trip to Spain. Alcohol excess was initially suspected due to the consumption of &gt; 20 units per week. However, on cessation of all medications the ALT continued to rise to 1087 U/l. He was found to be Hepatitis E IgM positive with viral PCR also detected. In all three cases contaminated food was likely to be the source of infection and DMARDs were successfully restarted in all patients following normalisation of liver function tests. Conclusion  This case series highlights an important differential for transaminitis with very little published literature. Hepatitis E is under reported and not routinely requested in practice as part of a liver screen. Failure to check Hepatitis E serology may lead to DMARDs being discontinued inappropriately. All patients should be educated about the risks of Hepatitis E from food products.We recommend that DMARDs are suspended once Hepatitis E infection has been diagnosed in order to allow the immune system combat the infection. Treatment is usually self limiting, though in severe cases Ribavirin has been used with good effect. DMARDs should be restarted once liver markers normalise, and two serum Hepatitis E RNA results and two stool samples are negative. The presence of persistent Hepatitis E RNA (viral shedding) is highly suspicious for chronic infection, which would warrant hepatology input. Disclosure  G.A. Brown: None. L. Kearney: None. E. Warner: None. S. Ellis: None.
