The book focuses on all typological aspects of arches and vaults within the heritage of design and construction, while bringing attention to new "e;green"e; materials, promoting a circular economy informed by limitations caused by global warming. The multidisciplinary approach involves several different competences in architecture, structural engineering, conservation and restoration, geomatics, BIM, building engineering, the technology and history of construction, graphical methods of assessment, and innovative design that utilizes non-polluting materials. After an overview of the technical and aesthetic advantages of masonry vaults, there is a review of the most up-to-date trends in historic preservation. Classic methods of static assessment and innovative building technologies are detailed. Surveying methods and data acquisition are discussed, particularly laser scanning technology and its applications in heritage masonry curved structures. Next comes the experimental static and dymanic behavior of masonry vaults, followed by a critical revision of Distinct Element innovative computerized Methods. An explanation as to how to pass from classic stability analysis to an adaptive Finite Element Method limit analysis procedure is offered. Reinterpretation of the past is then undertaken, with an eye towards emphasizing sustainability. Finally, the conclusion examines  still existing gaps in knowledge and recommends avenues of future research.

Literary museums today must respond to new challenges; the traditional image of the author's home museum as a sacred place of literary pilgrimage centered around a national hero has been questioned, and literary museums have begun to develop new strategies centered not only on biography, but also literary texts, imagined spaces, different readers, historical contexts, architectural concepts, and artistic interventions. As this volume shows, the changing of spaces asks how literary museums create new ways of interlinking real and literary spaces, texts, objects, readers, and tourists.

This book investigates approaches to community heritage within the Arab region and the underlying theories associated with these approaches. It aims, within the context of the region, to define 'community' and 'heritage', as well as examine the emergence and development of this field. The volume's contributors deploy a wealth of case studies from the Middle East and North Africa to provide a unique forum for discussion, comparability, analysis and deeper understandings of current trends in community heritage. In particular, the volume explores the relationship between communities and their heritage, the meanings and values placed upon it, the nature and degree of community participation and engagement in its interpretation and management, and how its different registers affect and produce sometimes unexpected community heritage formations. It also examines the level of responsibility held within the profession towards this essentially democratic process of public participation in their heritage in a region shaped by controversial histories, political turmoil and tourism-driven economies. The volume builds on current research and practice in community heritage globally by debating and re-centring a suite of familiar and new issues related to hitherto under-researched regional-specific methodologies, and developing fresh insight into the theoretical underpinning of these practices. It will be of value to heritage scholars and practitioners as well as those interested in politics, identity, education and the dynamics of heritage-based sustainable development.

This book focuses on the Heritage Conservation of Architecture, Historic Districts of a City and Conservation strategies with specific case studies from India, in order to highlight the need for conserving the rich piece of history through research, education, advocacy, and practice. The historic significance and the condition mapping of the subjects are carried out through primary field studies by the authors at School of Planning and Architecture, Vijayawada, India. The cases are analysed, and appropriate solutions and sustainable strategies are evolved for the conservation of the buildings facing contemporary challenges. The contents align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 11), Target 11.4 which aims to ¿strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world's cultural and natural heritage'. This would ensure that a rich piece of history is documented and analysed to ensure that it is not erased and forgotten. This book serves as a bountiful data base of literature as well as conservation strategies for heritage conservationists, students of architectural conservation and researchers.

Published on the occasion of the "Preoccupied: Indigenizing the Museum" initiative at the Baltimore Museum of Art, this book centers Native artist voices and challenges collective understandings of Native peoples' pivotal role in North American history. The written and visual contributions address and refute the oppressive and pervasive hierarchies of colonialism upon which museums are based.

Pneumothorax (pneumothorax: Greek pneuma air + th¿rax chest, chest) is the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity due to disruption of the integrity of the visceral, parietal or mediastinal pleura. When enough air accumulates in the pleural cavity, the lung parenchyma collapses and loses its respiratory function. Based on etiology, pneumothorax is classified into traumatic, spontaneous, diagnostic and therapeutic. When a pulmonary abscess breaks into the pleural cavity or the esophagus ruptures with the development of mediastenitis, pyopneumothorax occurs, i.e., accumulation of pus and air in the pleural cavity. Basically, with an open or closed injury to the chest with damage to the lungs, hemopneumothorax develops, i.e., accumulation of air and blood in the pleural cavity. In the case of accumulation of serous exudate in the pleural cavity along with air, hydropneumothorax is spoken of.

This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences). It analyzes how real people and fictional characters experience the rupture of post-war repression, as their vindicating collective memory counters the authoritarian narrative and laws that demonized and criminalized them. The book, that breaks the persistent cycle of denial of Francoist malfeasance, is a resource for scholars and students who research the representation of Spain's dictatorship, its aftermath and the recovery of postdictatorial memory.

Planning for Urban Country addresses a major gap in knowledge about the translation of Aboriginal values and Country Plans into Australiäs built environment contexts. How do you ¿heal¿ Country if it has been devastated by concrete and bitumen, excavations and bulldozing, weeds and introduced plants and animals, and surface, aerial and underground contaminants?

This book seeks to highlight some of the difficult imperial histories and legacies embedded in the Ethnographic Collection of the National Museum of Ireland and enable dialogue with source communities as well as Irish audiences. Ethnographic material acquired as part of the British Empire, represents the duality of Irish participation with the structure and practices of Empire and Ireland's own experience as Britain's oldest colony.From the late 18th to the early 20th century, Irish explorers, soldiers, colonial officers, and administrators enforced British rule abroad against a backdrop of calls for self-governance, the repeal of the Union, rebellion, and civil war. Irish emigrants contributed to the advance of the colonial frontier. Trophies from battlefields in South Africa, Sudan and Ethiopia and taken during sanctioned looting of the royal palaces of Benin, Nigeria and Kumasi, Ghana, were displayed as symbols of their victory and evidence of the 'civilizing' power of the Empire. However, expeditions also depended on local experts for supplies and were reliant on what Indigenous people were prepared to trade. Indigenous artists actively engaged with colonial markets and enriched precontact art forms with tradegoods and created portable souvenirs. Diplomatic gifts also drew Western visitors into their own networks of influence. The collections therefore also offer insights into Indigenous creativity and innovation, as well as resistance. Examining the Collection through a modern lens of biographies as part of decolonizing practices reveals the multi-layered identities of the collectors, the objects themselves and their creators. Part I offers in-depth histories of the institutions whose collections were transferred to the Dublin Museum of Science and Art in 1877, reconnects donors and traces objects' journeys to the museum, as gifts, loot, military and missionary collecting. Part II is divided geographically and focuses on the individual donors and artists and the life histories of specific objects, their contexts and uses.

The richest area per square meter isn¿t the Silicon Valley in The United States of America or Shanghai in China. Its not the piece of land housing the world's richest companies such as Amazon, Microsoft or Meta. It's also not the world richest oil mines in Saudi Arabia or Iraq. Neither is it the mineral rich mines in South Africa or Australia. The world's richest area per square meter is the ¿grave mine¿, the cemetery. It`s beneath the earth in the cemetery, laid great world-changing ideas, talents and skills exceedingly richer than anything money can buy. A great number of these ideas, talents and skills were never unearthed and if they did, were never refined and put to good use for the betterment of humanity. Every individual who had ever graced this earth is endowed with a unique set of talents to the benefit of the individual and to the world at large. The earth is the vast marketplace where every one of us is assembled to showcase his/her naturally endowed offerings.
