Cities emerging from the pandemic increasingly recognize that public spaces are a critical element of resilience, not merely recreational amenities. Future public spaces must be designed to accommodate more diverse and distanced activities, and may even change function entirely during public health emergencies. The need for informal public spaces has also become apparent, and cities can benefit from identifying them as resources and integrating them into land-use plans. Parks, sidewalks and cycling paths can be justified as investments in resilience and survivability and quickly expanded. Their provision must be viewed through the lens of social and spatial equity: in many cities, not every person or community has convenient access to these critical public goods. Planners must go beyond metrics on the mere availability or density of public spaces, and delve deeper to assess the quality of spaces, and the ability of different demographic groups to reach them. Historic neighbourhoods that developed organically offer useful inspiration when designing for equitable access and daily convenience, and can also accommodate the dispersal of jobs away from central business districts. Efforts to develop decentralised, “complete” neighbourhoods can be a boon for adaptive reuse, public space provision, and greater variety of work settings, while public areas of civic buildings can be re-imagined as nodes of collaboration in a knowledge-based economy. Beyond building infrastructure, maintaining lively and welcoming public spaces requires empathy, respect for the commons, and care for fellow human beings. Physical spaces in a city can only be fully and genuinely “public” if they are safe, and open to everyone, regardless of age, language, identity, sexual orientation or ability. As cities undertake revitalization efforts following the pandemic, they must strive to ensure such places are available to all.

Abstract Construction waste makes up a large part of the waste produced in Europe. Therefore, the European Commission has developed policies to create an economic cycle and increase waste recycling. These solutions have been developed reduce the destructive effects of the environment, including various certificates such as LEED in different countries to encourage building debris management. However, not all construction waste can be recycled and reused, often buried in the environment. Although these wastes are extracted from natural resources, the process of making them changes their original nature, and it is not possible to estimate the exact time of their decomposition and reversibility of waste in nature. Thus, a large part of them is landfilled due to their Non-Recyclability. Moreover, every year, a large area of fertile and usable land is allocated for their burial. This paper aims to clarify the non-recyclable part of landfilled construction waste in the environment, highlighting the need for importance and research in this area. It can improve and preserve the sources, land, and health of the environment and human beings in EU member states threatened by landfilling.

The main objective of our project is to provide security for human beings especially woman and children with a help of an advanced electronics. As most of the women are subjected to unethical physical harassment when they are alone in public areas, in case they will be provided with an equipment fitted inside the shoes which is not visible to others, the equipment consists of GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM module by which the geographical location can be tracked and can be sent. In the case of any emergency conditions, the button is pressed and the microcontroller sends latitude and longitude information to authorized persons through GSM. Then the location information is tracked and the information can be sent to police and family members so that they can be rescued in proper time. At the same time, they will be provided a high voltage generating device embedded within the system can be used to generate electric shock to temporarily paralyse the criminals in critical situations. The device is portable and hence can be taken anywhere we travel. It is economical and simple to use. So, it can be effective in saving many people (not merely women) from criminal attacks, sexual harassments and can be used as legal evidence of crime.

More and more the only services which human beings can offer to society and which society will need will be intellectual. Just as in the last 100 years mechanical skill superseded and to a great extent outmoded manual labor, in the next few years the automatic machine will supersede and to a great extent outmode mechanical skill (not entirely but mechanical skill will be cheap, comparatively to brain power). The age of automatons, for their development, construction, and maintenance, demands from society greater brain power.

During the pandemic covid 19 we are experiencing at this time, various technological innovations are created as the first step in breaking the chain of corona virus. One way that can be implemented in breaking the covid pandemic chain of 19, especially in public areas is by spraying a disinfectant liquid that can be done continuously. Optimization of spraying disinfectant liquid can be done by utilizing technology that is able to work automatically. This research makes a disinfectant sprayer chamber as a technological innovation. Automation of disinfectant sprayers can be done by utilizing the ATemega328 microcontroller as an automatic machine to activate the sprayer pump based on the detection of objects that are around it with the help of an ultrasonic sensor. Determination of the distance reading of the object greatly determines the performance of the ultrasonic sensor in providing input to the microcontroller. The smart sprayer system is capable of activating a 12Volt DC pump with a voltage of 5 amperes. This smart sprayer disinfectant control system can be applied to the gate or hallway at the center of the crowd.

Papio cynocephalus from French Guinea frequently harbours Loa papionis n.sp. The intermediate host is unknown. The larvae, in contradistinction to those of the human parasite Loa loa, show no diurnal periodicity.The occurrence of bacterial disease in adult L. papionis would seem to be a novelty; at any rate I could find no mention of diseased filariae in the literature.In so far as the biology of Microloa loa is concerned, I am inclined to doubt the correctness of the opinions expressed by Rodenwalt and Fülleborn concerning the structures they term “executory and genital cells”: the current hypotheses concerning the significance of these structures and of the “central viscus,” clearly need revision. Manson's “buccal apparatus” would seem to be nothing more than an optical illusion, while the “neck” or “shoulder” described by the older observers as existing in adult L. loa after fixation, was evidently due to imperfect technique.I have drawn attention to the desirability of standardising the technicalities which are such essential preliminaries to the accurate mensuration of micro-filariae, and have suggested a method which has certain advantages over those at present in use.Concerning the pathology of Loa infection, evidence both of the traumatic and toxic action of L. papionis on baboons, was obtained; moreover these parasites seemed definitely toxic for guineapigs, although the single experiment performed needs confirmation. The available evidence favours the supposition that adult baboons from an infected area possess a high degree of immunity both against L. papionis toxaemia and against reinfection by these parasites; but whether their serum is of therapeutic value for human beings infected with L. loa, requires further investigation.

Proponents of welcoming robots into the moral circle have presented various approaches to moral patiency under which determining the moral status of robots seems possible. However, even if we recognize robots as having moral standing, how should we situate them in the hierarchy of values? In particular, who should be sacrificed in a moral dilemma–a human or a robot? This paper answers this question with reference to the most popular approaches to moral patiency. However, the conclusions of a survey on moral patiency do not consider another important factor, namely the law. For now, the hierarchy of values is set by law, and we must take that law into consideration when making decisions. I demonstrate that current legal systems prioritize human beings and even force the active protection of humans. Recent studies have suggested that people would hesitate to sacrifice robots in order to save humans, yet doing so could be a crime. This hesitancy is associated with the anthropomorphization of robots, which are becoming more human-like. Robots’ increasing similarity to humans could therefore lead to the endangerment of humans and the criminal responsibility of others. I propose two recommendations in terms of robot design to ensure the supremacy of human life over that of humanoid robots.

The character of the original paper is to provide electromagnetic radiation absorbing material that attenuation characteristics of the electromagnetic field very good, as compared to the absorbent materials studied to date. This paper presents results of research on processing, characterization and behavior of composite materials based on silicone rubber used for electromagnetic shielding. In this work silicone rubbers is reinforced with magnetic fillers (iron silicon). The obtaining of composite materials was with the aid of a doctor blade technique. Doctor blade technique is a coating technique widely used for producing thin films on large area surfaces. The samples were processed in the laboratory using a plated nettling (PN), that was impregnated with a silicone rubber based composite containing powder of iron silicon (SI). Were achieved measurements of the both parts of the materials obtaining. These have shown an electromagnetic shielding effectiveness the order of 3.35-41.62 dB (white face) and 3.53-41.42 dB (gray face), in 1-18 GHz frequency range according to SR EN 50 147-1:1999. The paper tries to identify an absorbent material with the ability to protect human beings of electromagnetic radiation that surround us every day and every moment. With the exponential increase in development of commercial, aerospace, military and scientific electronic devices in modern society, electromagnetic radiation is becoming the fourth public pollution after the air, water and noise ones.

Microscopic Investigations

Introduction In electron microscopic investigations of crystalline specimens the direct observation of the electron diffraction pattern gives additional information about the specimen. The quality of this information depends on the quality of the crystals or the crystal area contributing to the diffraction pattern. By selected area diffraction in a conventional electron microscope, specimen areas as small as 1 µ in diameter can be investigated. It is well known that crystal areas of that size which must be thin enough (in the order of 1000 Å) for electron microscopic investigations are normally somewhat distorted by bending, or they are not homogeneous. Furthermore, the crystal surface is not well defined over such a large area. These are facts which cause reduction of information in the diffraction pattern. The intensity of a diffraction spot, for example, depends on the crystal thickness. If the thickness is not uniform over the investigated area, one observes an averaged intensity, so that the intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern cannot be used for an analysis unless additional information is available.
