Reinvigorating cultural meaning through spatial experience: A triadic model for place-based architectural learning
...Show More Authors

Historical cultural environments are a repository of values and symbols that pass down across generations through spatial experiences. Despite their intellectual and cultural potential, their role in fostering belonging and identity has declined; they are often viewed as silent landmarks, isolated from lived experiences. This highlights the need for an integrated model that makes spatial experience a stimulating process for reinvigorating the meaning inherent in historical contexts and reconnecting the new generation with their cultural roots. This research aims to explore how cultural meaning in historical contexts can be reactivated through spatial experience. To achieve this, the study proposes a triadic model – physical encounter (PE), emotional connection (EC), and imaginative projection (IP) – as a framework. The study adopted a qualitative approach that explores a learning experience consisting of two interactive phases, one within a historical and cultural context, preceded by a formal educational environment, to track the transformations of the interpretive patterns. Students from the Department of Architecture are involved in this process, producing visual storytelling outputs analyzed by ‘MAXQDA Analytics Pro’. The results indicate that spatial experience enhanced spatial awareness and deepened their emotional response by transforming sensory impressions into symbolic meanings. Comparative pre-post analysis showed that after the on-site immersion, more spatial awareness (SA), atmospheric response (AR), symbolic meaning (SM), and transformative visualization (TV) became intensified, indicating more intense experience. Emotional Connection was a mediating dimension between embodied perception and imaginative reinterpretation, and transition of learning was realized through a multidimensional and not a linear process. Imagination contributed as a dynamic dimension, shifting towards context-rooted visualization. The research provides an interpretive framework that demonstrates how spatial experience can be transformed into a means of reinvigorating cultural meaning and enhancing awareness of identity. The triadic model represents an effective tool in education and training.

A Novel Technique for Secure Data Cryptosystem Based on Chaotic Key Image Generation
...Show More Authors

The advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), within the previous decades, has significantly changed people’s transmit or store their information over the Internet or networks. So, one of the main challenges is to keep these information safe against attacks. Many researchers and institutions realized the importance and benefits of cryptography in achieving the efficiency and effectiveness of various aspects of secure communication.This work adopts a novel technique for secure data cryptosystem based on chaos theory. The proposed algorithm generate 2-Dimensional key matrix having the same dimensions of the original image that includes random numbers obtained from the 1-Dimensional logistic chaotic map for given con

EEG Motor-Imagery BCI System Based on Maximum Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT) and Machine learning algorithm
...Show More Authors

The ability of the human brain to communicate with its environment has become a reality through the use of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-based mechanism. Electroencephalography (EEG) has gained popularity as a non-invasive way of brain connection. Traditionally, the devices were used in clinical settings to detect various brain diseases. However, as technology advances, companies such as Emotiv and NeuroSky are developing low-cost, easily portable EEG-based consumer-grade devices that can be used in various application domains such as gaming, education. This article discusses the parts in which the EEG has been applied and how it has proven beneficial for those with severe motor disorders, rehabilitation, and as a form of communi

Predicting Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium L.) Maturity by Machine Learning Based on Picking Force in Smart Picker
...Show More Authors

Manual fruit picking is labor-intensive and can damage fruit. Fully mechanized picking is efficient, but it also risks fruit damage. Therefore, semi-automated tools are needed to improve bitter orange picking. This paper presents a smart manual picker designed to facilitate picking while predicting fruit maturity based on picking force as well as various chemical and physical parameters using machine learning (ML). The study methodology consists of five stages: (1) manufacturing the smart picker, (2) picking 50 bitter orange samples, (3) measuring the characteristics of the bitter oranges in the laboratory, (4) training different ML models, and (5) identifying the most accurate model for predicting fruit maturity. The results indicate that

        The present article studies the specific cultural features contained in phraseological units. The problem is approached through three different levels:

  1. The modern linguistic meaning.
  2. Lexical components of phraseological units.
  3. The first variables of linguistic units.

  The paper emphasizes the gradual process of the cultural charge in the semantic structure of phraseological units.

Raffo examines the challenges faced by two Iraqi women, Raffo and Maryam, in relation to parenthood following the capture of Iraq by “ISIS”. The paper is concerned with the various depictions of trauma that Raffo accomplishes in the text then delves in the way she cocooned her characters’ identity in order to recover their traumas. Initially, Noura is a trauma tale, illustrating the recurrent and repetitive nature of trauma from mother to daughter. The narrative reflects the interactions and dynamics between the mother and daughter and their function as substitutes for memory and recounting personal narratives. Moreover, examin
