Adaptive Reuse and Customization

Adaptive Reuse and Customization
Authors:-Harishanthana US

Abstract-Adaptive reuse is the best eco-friendly design strategy to repurpose existing building forms, stepping towards sustainability and a better environment. This type of revitalization is not restricted to buildings of historic significance but is also a smart strategy adopted in the case of archaic buildings. Customizing and reusing the existing built form not only saves money and profit but also a large amount of reduction in energy consumption and environmental impacts. Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration, and Reconstruction are major methods in bringing Adaptive reuse and Customization efficiently. Reusing the older vacant buildings for other purposes forms a very important outlook of any urban regeneration scheme and the adaptation process suggests opting for new technologies and design concepts that will support the older built to acclimate successfully to contemporary requirements without destroying the existing urban form. Adopting the adaptive reuse approach for the redevelopment of older vacant buildings provides added benefits to the regeneration of an urban area in a sustainable way, by transforming these buildings into usable and accessible units and providing a new sense of access to the public. While a large amount of historically built structures are being demolished and reconstructed. Adaptive reuse and customization could retain the built environment to the functions and needs and also maintain the historical facts and cultural factors.”

Exploring How Globalization and Migration Have Impacted the Transformation of Religious Practices among the Youth in Singapore

Exploring How Globalization and Migration Have Impacted the Transformation of Religious Practices among the Youth in Singapore
Authors:-Margaret Pereira, Dr. Md Rosli Bin Ismail

Abstract-Youth expect religion to create meaning in life. These expectations play a significant role in practised religion and significant changes in the religious landscape. Participation in places of worship continues to decline. Organised religion might be facing a shifting landscape but this does not mean people are shunning religion. The interactions between religious institutions and an individuals’ perspectives of religion are investigated to reveal the transformation of religious practices in Singapore, from the lens of globalization and migration. Kierkegaard’s Theory of Existentialism is used along with non-probability purposive sampling with an objective to explore how globalisation has affected religious practices of Christian youth in Singapore and to investigate how migration has affected religious practices among Christian youth in Singapore. The key informants are six young Singaporean Christian adults between 25 and 30. Qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews, open-ended questions, in-depth interviews and thematic analysis is used.

Integrated Approach to Emotion Recognition Across Multiple Modalities

Integrated Approach to Emotion Recognition Across Multiple Modalities
Authors:-Dr. Kavitha C, Jananisri K, Monisha B T, Prathibha G, Shanmitha P, Niranjani T

Abstract-Multimodal emotion recognition is essential for advancing human-computer interactions and enabling applications like mental health monitoring and social robotics. This study focuses on utilizing text, audio, and motion data from the IEMOCAP dataset to develop independent models that capture unique emotional cues from each modality. The audio model employs a hybrid architecture combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Multi-Head Attention, and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), achieving an accuracy of 81%. The text model leverages a CNN-based approach inspired by Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN), achieving 94% accuracy. For motion data, a Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (ST-GCN) was implemented, achieving 63% accuracy. A score-level fusion strategy integrates these models, improving the overall recognition performance. Evaluations using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall demonstrate how multimodal approaches can provide a more accurate and reliable emotion recognition system by combining complementary information from diverse data types.

Project Naiad: An Automated Smart Irrigation Revolution for Urban Home Gardens Using Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi

Project Naiad: An Automated Smart Irrigation Revolution for Urban Home Gardens Using Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi
Authors:-Bernard Felipe B. Capalit, Client Teejay N. Jimenez, Anna Fatima P. Padao, Cairoden L. Usman Jr.

Abstract-This study aimed to develop a prototype of an automated smart plant watering system for urban home gardening, focusing on the reliability and functionality of its monitoring, notification, and water dispensing features. The system incorporated components such as the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, DHT22 sensor, soil moisture and water level sensors, a raindrop sensor, and a submersible pump to address urban gardening challenges. The study evaluated the accuracy of the system’s sensors, the real- time data display, and SMS notifications, as well as the precision of water dispensing based on soil moisture levels. Results indicated high reliability, with most sensors achieving accuracy rates between 90% and 100%. The soil moisture sensor provided consistent readings, while the raindrop and water level sensors performed with near- perfect accuracy, enabling precise environmental monitoring. Notification features, including the LCD display and SMS alerts, were effective, with minimal delays in SMS reception. The water dispensing system demonstrated precision, adjusting water volume according to soil moisture levels, achieving an average water conservation effectiveness of 85% or higher. Additionally, a weak negative correlation between soil moisture and water dispensed highlighted the system’s responsiveness to environmental conditions. In conclusion, the prototype proved effective in monitoring and responding to soil conditions while minimizing water usage, making it a viable solution for urban home gardening. Future work could explore IoT-based enhancements for improved real-time monitoring, remote control, and data logging to further optimize system functionality.
