Infrastructure systems like bridges are constantly exposed to different natural hazards, mainly from seismic and earthquakes. Any failure on them would represent a crisis for any civilization as they represent fundamental architecture for allowing people to get transported as well as develop the logistics from materials and products. This work identifies the main factors indispensable to improve bridge infrastructure resilience and how they interact among them based on experts' judgment and previous literature. The interaction between parameters is evaluated by integrating Fuzzy theory with Decision-Making and Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), known as Fuzzy DEMATEL. The findings of this research demonstrate prominence order and causal-effect relations from the main resilience factors; in this way, the outcome from this study is expected to help stakeholders and decision-makers improve the resilience from bridge infrastructure against the seismic hazard.

Software systems need to be maintained and updated regularly to meet new requirements and to adapt to improvements in technology. However, every time an update is made, more codes are added that result in the increasing complexity of the software. High complexity in software makes it challenging for developers to update and maintain. To improve the complexity issues in software systems, architectural patterns play an important role. With the in-built concept of modularity in architectural patterns, they have a general tendency to reduce the complexity of software systems. This also improves other quality factors of the software, such as maintainability and testability. This research is conducted to study the impact of commonly used architectural patterns on different types of applications by applying the patterns on both desktop and web-based applications. As per the findings of the literature review, the survey results, and the empirical evaluation, it proves that complexity issues in software can be improved using architectural patterns. The findings of this research is used to propose a framework for improving complexity issues in software using architectural patterns. This framework will help stakeholders to reduce complexity by choosing suitable architectural patterns.

Morocco has become an increasingly frequent and severe drought episode due to climate change in recent decades. This has significantly reduced freshwater, especially in areas characterized by significant agricultural potential, such as the Sidi Bennour region. Consequently, rational and sustainable management of existing water resources has become essential. The main objective of this study was to estimate evapotranspiration by applying the METRIC energy balance model (mapping evapotranspiration at high resolution with internalized calibration). Thus, this application, based on the combined use of auxiliary climate data and high-resolution optical satellite data (Landsat 8 OLI), allowed the evaluation and spatial distribution, at the scale of the Sidi Bennour region, of the different variables (net radiation, surface temperature, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux) controlling the evapotranspiration. The analysis of the various images derived, especially that of evapotranspiration, shows that these variables change depending on the presence and condensation of cultures. The results of this study are satisfactory and allow us to conclude that the METRIC model is a promising and operational approach for the evaluation, spatialization, and monitoring of evapotranspiration by remote sensing. The interest of this study lies in the importance of the precise knowledge of the evapotranspiration through the derived image, which will constitute an essential document for the persons in charge of the irrigation and the farmers in order to evaluate the need for the water of the cultures and to an integrated management of the water resources that become increasingly rare in the study area.

Many higher education stakeholders criticize the existing Environmental Higher Education Ranking Systems for not taking environmental factors which a given university operates in into consideration in processing the university portfolio and to group universities based on environmental factors similarities. This study intended to evaluate one of these environmental factors the Average Annual Temperature [AAT] and its impact on the ranking of universities. We studied the relationship between the AAT and two Environmental sustainability Higher education ranking systems [ESHERS] which are the University of Indonesia Greenmetric [UIGM] and Times Higher Education University Impact ranking [THEUIR]. We aim to find to what extent should UIGM and THEUIR methodologies consider the countries average annual temperature in evaluating the progress of the universities. We collected data of the overall university scores of 2020 ranking for the two ESHERS along with the AAT values for countries host these universities from the Listfirst website We used the linear regression technique to figure out any relationships between AAT and university ranking scores. The initial results show the AAT of a country doesn't have any impact on a university ranking operates in that country. The residual plot shows that many reseals are left without explanation by the model and the fit figure shows that there is no linear pattern in the dependent variable.

The indexing methods offer a powerful tool to estimate soil quality and detect the impact of various soil management practices over time. This research was conducted in the semi-arid area of Morocco, to test the impact of two types of tillage (conventional tillage (CT) and no-till), crop residues (vetch and no cover), and three nitrogen fertilization rates (30, 60, and 90 kg/ha) on soil quality index (SQI) and crop yield. To assess SQI, principal component analysis (PCA) was used for selecting the minimum soil data set (MDS). Four indicators were taken as MDS (Soil organic carbon (SOC), Exchangeable Potassium (Kexg), pH, Total Nitrogen (TN) and SOC, Kexg, TN, (Sodium) Na+ for 0–20 and 20–40 cm depth respectively), and scored using linear and nonlinear approaches. SQI produced by the linear method (SQIL) was the most reliable, due to its ability to differentiate soil quality in different layers. SQIL (additive and weighted linear) showed a higher soil quality score (>0.7) at the soil surface (0–20 cm) and medium to low soil quality score (0.46-0.69) at 20–40 cm depths and it reported higher soil quality under CT compared to no-till. Soft wheat under both systems produced an equivalent yield and exhibited no correlation with SQI.

Since activating the implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol in 2019, many countries are striving to adopt the amendments to sustain a green environment. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region has implemented the Kigali Enabling Activities project, which paves the way for future amendments. This paper explores the hurdles faced when implementing this Amendment through three factors: natural, economic, and cultural problems. By adopting the GAP analysis, the paper first presents the ideal procedures of the Kigali Amendment as suggested by the environmental organizations of the United Nations (UN), and this scenario is used to benchmark introducing this Amendment in the GCC region. Then the paper considers the different variations of weather and culture, which comprise the main hurdles that the Amendment is facing. In addition, the paper explores the other problems to conclude with solutions and recommendations that enable the governmental bodies and UN offices to implement the Kigali amendments with minimum errors and lowest cost, thereby promoting the same model in the GCC states.

The Gulf cities have grown exponentially in the last two decades, owing primarily to the discovery of oil. As a result of globalization, large-scale urban developments have been developed, affecting Gulf cities' built environment and urban fabric. Since the discovery of oil in the 1930s, the city's climate has undergone significant change. Cities in Bahrain have extensively faced the challenge of keeping up with growing urban growth in terms of long-term sustainability for current and future generations. While they as well have faced challenges of preserving the current heritage embedded in buildings and traditional communities. One of the areas impacted by urbanization and urban growth is the Block 307 neighborhood in central Manama. This research paper studies the characteristics, opportunities, restrictions, and relationships with the surrounding areas of the Block 307 neighborhood in Manama's main city. The research concept is based on literature review, site analysis of the selected case, and the surrounding context to identify opportunities and obstacles. Lastly, suggesting a plan for the urban redevelopment of block 307 neighborhood to a sustainable Community.

Energy consumption in a new building design project is nowadays one of the most attractive parameters of development. The building orientation affects directly the amount of energy consumption to achieve energy saving. The main objective of this study focuses on building orientation and its impact on energy consumption. One basic factor in building orientation affects the solar radiation exposure and hence the lighting, thermal acquisition, and equipment. The amount of energy consumption is computed in the Mediterranean climate using several orientations in two typical summer and winter periods. The proposed building simulation is modeled with basic orientation change to assess the energy consumption every 15 degrees using trnsys software and energy plus. The obtained results show that is the building orientation has a very important role in reducing total energy consumption.

This research investigates the concept of social sustainability and social innovation within residential spaces design. Residential spaces and particularly homes hold precious users memory that is associated with space and place. Houses also play an essential role in maintaining social sustainability. Social sustainability means creating inclusive, healthy, and secure communities, starting with families and users' needs and aspirations. This research aims to innovate a family living place design that helps preserve and make memories. Qualitative methodology was used applying the design thinking approach, including responses from the interviewees, which is the most effective method concerning the topic. Different design thinking phases of empathy, ideation, prototyping, and testing were adopted in this research, with six interviewees who took part in this study. Also, the observation method was used to investigate possible design guidelines. Analysis tools included user persona and empathy maps. The observation of users has led to the design guidelines, which have been proved effective through testing them in a simulated design rendering of a living room using 3Ds MAX software. The research concludes the usefulness of implementing proposed design guidelines in solving social and interior issues.
