As war rages, Ukraine's collective memory is at risk
No End In Sight

With fighting in Ukraine only intensifying over the last week, nuclear power plants have been attacked by Russian forces, residential areas have been reduced to rubble, and 1.5 million people have fled the country at the time of writing. As major finance and gas companies suspend their operations in Russia and sanctions tighten, some of the largest architecture firms in the world have paused work in Russia in a show of solidarity.
But while these actions are intended to isolate Russia economically and politically until the cost of invasion is too high to continue, they do little to alleviate the conditions on the ground. In 2019, Ashley Bigham and Erik Herrmann, founders of Outpost Office, were invited to lead a design seminar for the inaugural year of Ukraine's first independent school of architecture, the Kharkiv School of Architecture. What they found was that students were eager to envision and design for a post-Soviet Ukraine while keeping true to the country's roots, both traditional and from more modern examples.
AN reached out to Bigham, who was a Fulbright Fellow in Ukraine in 2014, for more information about the risk to the country's historic structures and common urban fabric alike, and how the Kharkiv School of Architecture has weathered the war thus far.
The following interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
AN: Ukraine's cultural and historic sites are being bombed or are at risk right now. Are there any you would care to highlight? Either that have already been damaged or are in danger?
Ashley Bigham: At the beginning of this conversation I want to state that the most important thing right now is that we focus on the survival and humanitarian needs of all people currently in Ukraine and those who have fled this war. The destruction of Ukrainian art and architecture is just one tragedy in a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis.
Last week security-camera footage of a missile strike on government offices in Kharkiv was widely circulated. This government office building is situated on Kharkiv's "Freedom Square," also the site of the Derzhprom building, one of the largest and most complete examples of constructivist architecture in the world. There are no reports at this time of damage to the Derzhprom building, but this is one of the many I worry about. Take for example the dazzling experimental market halls of Ukrainian architect Alla Anishchenko. Constructed in the 1960s and located in many Ukrainian cities including Kharkiv, the capital Kyiv, Cherkasy, and Rivne these structures use the repetition of simple geometries and expressive structural features to create dynamic, open interior spaces. Her designs are not only exemplary examples of modernist concrete structures, they are important pieces of city infrastructure still operating as food markets or grocery stores today.

During the first days of the invasion, Ukrainian President Zelensky recorded one of his daily video addresses in front of the 'House with Chimeras' in the capital city of Kyiv. This unique Art Nouveau building from 1903 designed by the Ukrainian-Polish architect Władysław Horodecki is covered in sculptures of mythical creatures and large animals. Its highly ornamented facade (truly, one-of-a-kind) was the President's way of proving to the world that he remained in Ukraine despite false reports from Russia that he had fled the country. Defiant, he stood in front of this well-known building—beautiful and distinctive—so that there could be no doubt that he remained in Kyiv.
It has been reported that the museum housing the paintings of Ukrainian folk artist Maria Prymachenko was burned. Prymachenko's work is a national treasure; bold and colorful compositions featuring themes and motifs from Ukrainian folklore. The anguish of this loss was assuaged this week by revelations that the paintings may have been saved by some museum staff, but this is just one example of the fragility of cultural artifacts in a war zone. As Russia continues to indiscriminately bomb civilian buildings in almost all Ukrainian cities, I have no doubt that we will see the loss of important cultural artifacts in the coming days.
There's a lot of attention being given to the bombing of the Babyn Yar memorial and of the older government buildings in Kharkiv, but a lot of what is beginning to be targeted are apartment buildings. The Brezhnev-era ones are not structures that are generally architecturally admired but do visually shape a lot of everyday life in the region, and the loss of functional structures is devastating. Is there anything else we should keep an eye on?
In addition to the destruction of individual buildings and damage at symbolic sites like the Babyn Yar memorial, we are seeing the destruction of the urban fabric en masse. While it may be difficult to fully explain the architectural significance of each individual building bombed in this war, we should not forget that the urban fabric itself is an important architectural artifact.
For example, there are several cities in Ukraine which are studied specifically for their urban plans. The city of Slavutych was the last Soviet 'ideal city' designed to house the residents who fled the Chernobyl disaster. The city was designed as a collaboration between several nations each displaying unique architecture styles in distinct districts. The city planning of Slavutych also focused on being child-friendly and comfortable for residents with ample green spaces, pedestrian pathways, and integrated social services. Another interesting example is the linear city designed to house the workers of the Kharkiv Tractor Factory. Linear cities reorganized the relationship between housing and industry as cities experienced great advances in technological production in the 1920s and '30s.

Most importantly, the urban fabric of a city should be important to the architectural community because it is significant to the people who live there. How do you assign value to your family apartment, your favorite cafe, your elementary school, or the maternity hospital where your children were born? We are witnessing the destruction of Ukraine's collective memory through the targeting of civilian buildings from Soviet-era housing blocks to local kindergartens. A friend recently shared the smoldering remains of a cafe in Kharkiv, reflecting on the many texts, conversations, and friendships that began in this little neighborhood shop.
How is the Kharkiv School of Architecture adjusting? More broadly, how are Ukraine's architecture students adjusting with the disruption to their education?
All aspects of "normal" life have ceased in Ukraine including higher education. Ukrainians are focused on daily survival, remaining in contact with family members in different regions, and providing for their medical needs.
The students at the Kharkiv School were sent home several days before the invasion began to be with their families or relatives. The teachers and staff who remain in Kharkiv are living in basements or underground shelters as the city is under near constant bombing. Those who were able to leave the city of Kharkiv are pouring all their energy into organizing and mobilizing humanitarian efforts: deliveries of food and medical supplies, housing internally displaced people, organizing transportation for refugees to leave the country safely, and sharing reliable information about the current situation.
Do you have a sense of what practitioners in Ukraine are thinking? I know this is a harrowing time both professionally, as it seems like all work has stopped, and from a personal perspective as both lives and livelihood are on the line.
One colleague from the Kharkiv School said they "dream of returning to rebuild Kharkiv," but for now, their focus is on their immediate safety. Every day of this war is bringing new challenges for citizens. There will be a time when architects will play a role in rebuilding Ukraine, but right now practitioners are doing what all Ukrainians are doing: volunteering to defend their cities, cooking food for displaced people, learning first-aid skills, sheltering children or the elderly… simply trying to survive.

Is there anything else you'd like to mention? What should people do if they want to help?
There is no place in Ukraine that is safe, yet millions of its citizens remain to defend their country. The world has watched the heroic efforts and resilience of the Ukrainian people in awe. However, we cannot let this admiration distract us from our own responsibilities as citizens in a globalized world. Ukraine desperately needs our help now and will continue to need support in the long term as they recover from this devastating war.
The Center for Urban History in Lviv, a trusted organization which works to preserve architectural history in Ukraine, has organized some information on how to support Ukraine: https://www.lvivcenter.org/en/updates/how-to-support-ukraine/

In addition to donating money, I have seen architects offer creative ideas for helping those affected by war: firms are offering paid internships for refugees, architecture schools allowing transfer students from Ukraine, artists are auctioning NFTs to raise money, etc. I would encourage everyone to consider donating their unique skills to aid in this humanitarian crisis.
Ashley Bigham is co-director of Outpost Office and an assistant professor at the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State University. In 2014 she was a Fulbright Fellow in Ukraine.

Plato regards training as a way to realize justice, both individual justice and social justice. Fourth, throughout the decade of the seventies when these numerous critiques of analytic philosophy have been within the process of eroding its luster, a spate of translations from the Continent stimulated some philosophers of education in Britain and North America to set out in new directions and to adopt a new style of writing and argumentation.
Rousseau wrote in his ebook Emile that each one children are completely designed organisms, able to study from their environment in order to develop into virtuous adults, but because of the malign affect of corrupt society, they often fail to do so. Rousseau advocated an academic method which consisted of eradicating the kid from society—for instance, to a rustic residence—and alternately conditioning him via modifications to his setting and setting traps and puzzles for him to solve or overcome.
Aristotle's view: Aristotle defines philosophy as 'a science which investigates the nature of being, as it is in itself. One among my lengthy-term goals as a teacher (and a scholar) is to create ways that objectively measure scholar studying that does not reduce philosophy to mere memorization. Democratic education is a principle of learning and school governance in which college students and workers take part freely and equally in a college democracy. It is the application of philosophy to the examine of the problems of education that is known as philosophy of education. Training is the applying of philosophy or philosophy of schooling is applied philosophy.
As sketched earlier, the area of schooling is huge, the issues it raises are almost overwhelmingly numerous and are of nice complexity, and the social significance of the field is second to none. No marvel educational discourse has occasionally been likened to Babel, for the variations in backgrounds and assumptions means that there is much mutual incomprehension. The whole lot we do not have at our beginning and which we need when we are grown is given us by education. A philosophy does not have a cover web page; make sure your title and title is on the first web page of your philosophy. Peters, R. (ed.), 1973, The Philosophy of Training, Oxford: Oxford College Press.
As well as, to help students learn to position individual course supplies into the broader context of a well rounded training. The continuance and health of human society is subsequently in a nonetheless greater diploma dependent on the college than previously. Educational Philosophy and Idea (EPAT) publishes articles concerned with all features of instructional philosophy.

Structuralism seeks to analyze the sum total of experience from birth to adulthood. In psychology , the process of introspection relies exclusively on observation of one's mental state, while in a spiritual context, it may refer to the examination of one's soul. He viewed adaptation to one's surroundings as a concern for biology, not psychology. Using the example of an apple, a person practicing structuralism can only describe it in terms of their most basic perceptions. You'll get full access to our interactive quizzes and transcripts and can find out how to use our videos to earn real college credit. A Brief History of Structuralism Psychology itself did not emerge as as a discipline separate from biology and philosophy until the late 1800s. Through introspection experiments, Wundt began to catalog a large number of basic conscious elements, which could hypothetically be combined to describe all human experiences.
Instead, he called his to his approach to psychology as volunteerism. Wundt was greatly emphasized on the study of components of consciousness, which is the supposed structure of our mind so, his approach to psychology is called as structuralism. An important principle of introspection is that any given conscious experience must be described in its most basic terms. Structuralism was, essentially, the study of all of the many elements of human consciousness. They would report what the stimulus made them think and feel. Wundt's method of introspection did not remain a fundamental tool of psychological experimentation past the early 1920's.
Ideas often form during brainstorming sessions or through discussions. Physical and mental relationships Once Titchener identifies the elements of the mind and its interaction, it wonders why the elements interact the way they do. While neither of these early schools of thought remain today, they both had an important influence on the emergence of psychology as a modern science. And with that, there came about several theories that attempted to theoretically study the crux of human behavior. The different schools of psychology represent the major theories within psychology.
John Dewey, a professor at the University of Chicago, was heavily influenced by the work of William James. Researchers are still working to offer experimental approaches to reach the measurement of conscious experience, particularly in the field of cognitive psychology. Structuralism in Psychology Structuralism is regarded as the first school of thought in the field of psychology. Skinner claims the results of introspection are subjective and cannot be verified because only observable behavior can be objectively measured. Given this, it would be a waste of time to try to determine the structure of the mind. Functionalism was developed by William James , Who in contrast to structuralism emphasized the importance of empirical-rational thinking, thought about an experimental-empirical philosophy.
So why study structuralism if it has been largely replaced by other schools of thought such as psychoanalysis, , and? Structuralism suggests that the goal of psychology is to study the structure of the mind and consciousness, while functionalism puts forth that understanding the purpose of the mind and consciousness is the aim of psychology. During this period of history, many areas of science were focused on what is known as elementalism, or breaking things down to their smallest possible parts. Wundt concentrated on three areas of mental functioning; thoughts, images and feelings. His greatest contribution was to show that psychology could be a valid experimental. Structuralism: The Basics How can structuralism be defined? We're inaccurate about all sorts of things; even our memories are full of inaccuracies and exaggerations. He believed that he could understand the structure of the mind and its reasoning if it could define and categorize the basic components of the mind and the rules by which the components interact.
He discovered this by realizing that when he asked people to listen to a sound and respond as soon as they heard it, they were much faster than when they had to also say what sound they heard. While structuralism is usually associated with Wilhelm Wundt, it was actually his student, Edward Bradley Titchener, Who was largely responsible for presenting structuralism as history remembers it. Originally published in English in 1971, structuralism was an increasingly important method of analysis in disciplines as diverse as mathematics, physics, biology, psychology, linguistics, sociology, anthropology and philosophy. Structuralism Structuralism was a school of thought that sought to identify the components structure of the mind -- the mind was considered the key element to psychology at this point. Wundt was interested in studying the inner workings of the mind in an objective and scientific manner. Titchener was born in Chichester, United Kingdom on January 11, 1867 and died in the United States, specifically in Ithaca on August 3, 1927.
However, it was Wundt's student, Edward Titchener, who first came up with the term 'structuralism' and popularized the school of thought. Just as Mike broke water down into its basic components, so were structuralists concerned with breaking down the mind into its fundamental parts, or 'structure. Wundt founded the first psychology lab to carry out his structuralist experiments. Some of the key figures in the functionalism movement are William James, John Dewey, James Angell, and Harvey Carr. In addition, these elements could be divided into their respective properties, which were: quality, intensity, duration, clarity and extension. Structuralism, in psychology, a systematic movement founded in Germany by and mainly identified with.
Wanted participants to use introspection language not an interpretation of what you see. Wundt Believe that he could carefully analyze each element of the mind, breaking things down into smaller parts, in order to understand how the mind works. He explains and evaluates the work of the main people at work in the field — Claude Lévi-Strauss, Michel Foucault, Talcott Parsons, Noam Chomsky — and concludes that structuralism has a rich and fruitful future ahead of it. The basis of reasoning that he used to study the structure of the mind was to understand what each element of the mind was, how those elements interacted with each other, and why they interacted in the ways that they did. In the university of this same city was instructor of Titchener, the founder of the estructuralismo.
Wundt's background was in physiology, and this was reflected in the topics with which the Institute was concerned, such as the study of reaction times and sensory processes and attention. Behaviorism became more popular at this time Limited use There is a reason for language What can you do with this information? He defined consciousness as the sum total of mental experience at any given moment, and the mind as the accumulated experience of a lifetime. Connect with psychological conditions Titchener believed we had 3 elements of Conscious Experience Sensations Quality Duration Clearness Intensity Images Quality Duration Clearness Intensity Affections or Emotions Quality Duration Intensity Wundt believed there was a tridimensional theory of emotions and Titchener disagreed and said there were only pleasant and unpleasant emotions. Another example of structuralism is describing your experience at the ocean by saying it is windy, salty, and cold, but rejuvenating. Wundt was especially interested in how people processed sensory stimuli, and he was the first to draw a distinction between sensation, or a stimulus' effect on one of our senses, and perception, or our brain's interpretation of the stimulus. James Angell and Harvey Carr, also professors at the University of Chicago, were two other prominent figures in the functional psychology movement. As one of Wundt's students, Titchener is perhaps best remembered for establish in the school of thought known as structuralism.

Bond Hearings for Asylum Seekers Are Latest Casualty of the Recent Supreme Court Term
Posted by Emma Winger | Aug 2, 2022 | Detention, Enforcement
For almost two decades, asylum seekers taken into Border Patrol custody who passed a "credible fear" interview have been eligible to seek release from detention on bond while they go through the asylum process.
But now that right is gone. On July 29, a federal district court in Washington erased a key legal victory which had kept the Trump administration from eliminating those bond hearings. The order was the inevitable result of the Supreme Court's recent decision in Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez, which limited the power of courts to order bond hearings in class action cases.
For now, certain people who pass asylum screening interviews may be detained for months or even years without the opportunity to ask an immigration judge to release them during their asylum proceedings.
Padilla v. ICE is a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of people who enter the United States between ports of entry, are put in a fast-tracked deportation process called expedited removal, and who pass an initial screening interview about their requests for asylum.
In April 2019, the Trump administration tried to eliminate bond hearings for these asylum seekers in a decision by then-Attorney General William Barr called Matter of M-S. But in July 2019, right as the decision was to go into effect, the district court in Padilla issued a preliminary injunction ordering the government to provide class members with bond hearings as part of their constitutional right to due process.
This order remained in effect until last Friday. But its fate was sealed in the Supreme Court's Aleman Gonzalez decision. In Aleman Gonzalez, the Supreme Court held that lower courts cannot issue class-wide injunctions to force the government to act (or not act), with respect to the implementation of certain immigration laws—including the immigration detention statutes. Since the Padilla injunction was similar to the one that the Supreme Court ruled against in Aleman Gonzalez, it too could no longer be upheld.
Thankfully, the Padilla case is not over. The district court still has to reconsider its original decision that class members have a constitutional due process right to a bond hearing, following the Supreme Court's 2020 decision in Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, which limited due process rights for certain recent arrivals. The district court will also need to consider whether to issue declaratory relief—a statement of what the law requires, without a specific order instructing the government to do something—or other relief on the remaining legal claims.
In the meantime, these asylum seekers are left without bond hearings. While they may try to pursue individual habeas petitions demanding a bond hearing, this still leaves many people at risk of lengthy detention.
But the government could still act. Nothing prevents the Biden administration from protecting the due process rights of asylum seekers by releasing these people—all of whom have been screened and found to have a credible fear of persecution—on parole.

Q: Why do we need both client Id and client secret instead of just clientSecret? I have been trying to understand how OAuth2 works. At first I thought it was redundant to spend one extra step exchanging auth code + client secret for access token - why not have server return access token directly. For that I found this explanation.
Then what confuses me is, why does it need a clientId and a client secret, instead of just a secret? A secret which can both declare and prove itself. The client app then can simply pass it to server when it sends user there to authorize itself for accessing server resource.
Thanks!

A: The client id is sent in the first part of the token dance to identify the client. This id is sent in an insecure way, in the URL. Even on the authz server end of this request the id may be exposed in an insecure way where the authz server redirects the user agent to the authorization page. So the client id is not meant to be secure, just to identify the client.
Only after receiving the authorization code (after user authorization), does the client then need to obtain the access token in a more secured way. This is where the client secret is used over TLS.

A: Imagine the client signs the request with the secret and sends just the signature. How does the server know which secret to use? Presumably the server supports multiple consumers.

A: You can have the server return the access token directly. You need to request Implicit grant (response_type with the value token instead of code).
The authorization server returns the access token directly.
This type of grant is intended to be used for user-agent-based clients (e.g. single page web apps) that can't keep a client secret or client id because all of the application code and storage is easily accessible. If your client can keep a secret, it is recommended that you use a more secure grant type.

4D pharma plc (AIM: DDDD), a pharmaceutical company leading the development of live biotherapeutics, today announces positive top-line results for its Phase Ib study of Thetanix in paediatric patients with Crohn's disease. The study achieved its primary objective, demonstrating that Thetanix was well tolerated with a good safety profile.
The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in two parts, with a single-dose phase and a multiple-dose phase and treated a total of 18 subjects aged 16-18 with Crohn's disease. In the single-dose phase, eight subjects were given a single dose of either Thetanix or placebo. In the multiple-dose phase, 10 subjects were given either Thetanix or placebo twice daily for seven consecutive days.
The Company also announces the publication of data demonstrating the efficacy of Thetanix in pre-clinical models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The data, published in the journal Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, showed that Thetanix demonstrated strong efficacy on the primary readouts in two different preclinical models with relevance to Crohn's disease, protecting against weight loss, preventing histopathological changes in the colon and attenuating inflammatory mediators.
Using an in vitro co-culture assay, a pirin-like protein (PLP), produced by Thetanix, was also identified as a candidate effector molecule. Recombinant PLP was shown to be protective against colitis in a preclinical model and, like Thetanix, to act on NF-κB signalling in vitro.
"These promising results add to the growing body of evidence on the efficacy of Thetanix, further reinforcing its potential as a novel treatment for Crohn's disease," said Dr. Alex Stevenson, 4D's Chief Scientific Officer. "Achieving the primary objective of the Phase 1b study, demonstrating the safety and tolerability of Thetanix, is an important milestone in the development of this programme."

About Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease which can occur in any part of the gastro-intestinal tract, but primarily affects the small intestine. Patients suffer from diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain. Many often require long-term medical therapy, are repeatedly hospitalised and may even require surgical intervention. Crohn's disease remains an area of significant unmet medical need. In the mild-to-moderate population, patients are typically treated with long-term immunosuppressants, which are not effective in all individuals and often lead to the development of severe side effects. Safe and effective novel drugs are needed to provide improved treatment options for patients, particularly in the maintenance therapy setting.

The real estate market in 2017 was another banner year for both buyers and sellers in Deland, Deltona, Orange City and Debary. Interest rates have risen slightly; however, they remain at very affordable levels, continuing with the previous year's ability to borrow money inexpensively. This continuation of cheap money has perpetuated the Seller's Market that we have been experiencing, helping sellers to obtain an average asking price to selling price ratio of 98.8% for the year. Inventory remains low, with only 749 homes on the market in December 2017, which is down from 805 in December 2016. The combination of lower inventory and higher asking price to selling price ratios spurs competition amongst buyers, which leads to homes selling at an average of only 39 days on the market as opposed to 53 days on the market in December of 2016. Of course, this number includes all residential properties throughout these four cities, including those rare unmotivated sellers that languish on the market for hundreds of days or more! Typically, homes for sale under $250,000, when properly priced are selling in days, not weeks or months, with appraisals being a regular hurdle that all parties must address. All of these factors lead to higher median selling prices, ending in December at $170,000, up from $150,000 in December 2016.
For the last few years most "experts" suggested that interest rates would rise, and I believe this year is no different. As of January 18, 2018, Freddie Mac reports that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.04 percent with an average .6 point, down from 4.09 percent at the same time last year. The real estate market is booming, and nobody knows when it will slow down. With the current pace of rising home prices, it cannot continue forever as we will eventually run out of affordable housing. Currently though, the market is favorable to both buyers and sellers with low interest rates and rising prices, when this will end is anyone's guess.

by Brian McDonough -- "CellPoint (Nasdaq: CLPT) and E-Plus have signed a frame agreement to provide mobile location systems for the KPN-Group, which serves 25 million customers, mostly in Europe.
"The Cellpoint contract covers German operator E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH &Co. KG and includes an option for all operators in the KPN Mobile N.V. group. The KPN Group has holdings in telecom providers in Germany, Hungary, Belgium, Ukraine and Indonesia.
"CellPoint chief executive Lars Persson noted this is the world's first pact to deliver a 3G (third generation) location system, based on the GSM (global system for mobile communications) standard, that is designed for roaming. "That is of paramount importance to GSM operators," he added.

Q: Break points stopped breaking the code execution Delphi Embarcadero studio 10.2 I work with Embarcadero Studio 10.2.
To do a debug I'm using break points. Somehow program doesn't stop at those break points any more.
The points are just marked with green tick but do not stop program execution.
In advanced properties of the breakpoint it is marked "break".
I tried to look through "project-options-Delphi Compiler", everything looks marked ok. I attach the screenshot.
Really appreciate some help!

A: Yup should always reboot your system when trying to clear this problem.
Then, after doing a full build or your project, if the breakpoint hasn't reverted to being displayed red, rather than green, try typing an exclamation mark into the source where the bp is. If the compiler doesn't complain when you next do a compile, that tells you that the compiler is finding a different version of the unit that you think it is.
Btw, the same cause - the compiler finding a different version of the unit that you think it is - can also result in breakpoints being mis-aligned vertically with the source, so that some b.p.s being on blank or irrelevant lines in the source.
Also btw, these sort of problems with breakpoints do not happen in source files which are explicitly listed amongst you project's source files in the Project Manager, because the compiler does not search around for the file.
