When Reconversion doesn’t meet Sustainability: The Case of an abandoned Market In Casablanca.
No full textArchitecture and urban planning in African cities
took a new turn during the colonial era, creating
shared histories of urban development. However,
this heritage remains underrated, especially in
previously colonised countries. Some, such as
Morocco, began to roll out initiatives to prevent
demolition and inappropriate transformation.
This research focuses on a number of buildings
featuring distinctive typologies of buildings.
Among the sample are industrial buildings and
markets, which have been marginalised in cities
such as Casablanca. The research examines how
technologies such as Hbim and photoscan can
be used to identify, record and design recovery
strategies for disavowed heritage buildings.
Interviews with urban residents showed that heritage buildings affected urban development,
and evolved into deeper research into the
abandoned Crio Market located in the formerly
industrial zone of Roches Noires in Casablanca.
The case study draws an historical timeline
of the building, showing its progression from
expressing modernism with its ‘thin concrete
shell’ architecture, to becoming subject of several
reconversions for private profit, resulting in a
distortion of the building’s original architecture.
The market offers proof that not demolishing
a building does not necessarily guarantee
successful and sustainable maintenance of
modern heritage. The research culminated in the
making of a 3D model alongside a set of recovery
guidelines offered as a first step towards a
sustainable reconversion project
Fragility and recovery of colonial architecture: toward a sustainable approach in Morocco.
No full textIn many ex-colonial countries, the built heritage during the dominant regimes is underlooked.
Some countries, such as Morocco-the subject of the current research-have recently begun to take initiatives
by launching inventories to classify buildings from that period, with the aim of preventing their
demolition. The paper focuses on some specialised building types (industrial buildings, commercial, etc.)
that are briefly mentioned in these technical inventories, as opposed to other types (residential,
administrative, school buildings, etc.). The research is deepened by studying the now-abandoned covered
market in the city of Casablanca, by observing the evolution of its original state alongside with its
surrounding environment leading to the current state of the market today. The study adopts different
methods from the graphic-semantic analysis, thanks to archival research and site surveys, a type-
technological framing, and a parametric reconstruction using H.B.I.M. Recovery design reflections
showing how many parameters are required for a hypothetical redevelopment, from respecting the original
history of the building to meeting changing human needs
Marrakech: Guéliz - Architecture in Peril
No full textMarrakech is a Moroccan city known for its “Medina” heritage, playing the role of the international window of traditional Moroccan architecture. However, there is a “recent" yet underrated type of the city’s heritage, The New city of Gueliz. This zone constituted the basis of the colonial regime’s perspective of a modernist city in Marrakech during the protectoral era (1912-1956). Gueliz’s conception created an element of rupture in the city’s urban planning separating the old (Traditional Medina) from the New (City). This has led to the critical situation of the city's current master plan: rupture vs interdependency with the past. In this framework, the aim of the research presented in this paper is a study of the "colonial building" in today’s city, its impact from the architectural, urban, social to the urban dimension. The main results showed inappropriate transformations of the buildings concerned, which very often lead to their demolition. For this reason, the paper questions the position of these buildings from a sustainable urban planning perspective. The research is deepened by analyzing case studies of the concerned buildings in order to understand and then to provide the right intervention guidelines scenarios : whether an adaptive reuse intervention is the answer, if not, how to profit from the operation of the demolition as a last solution scenario by considering the building as a material bank. The analysis work is based on thematic surveys and restitution with HBIM tools, in order to define recovery and enhancement strategies for the future building on an urban scale

The sculpture is often partially obsolete. Body whorl obliquely flattened and more or less narrowed, with a prominent keel. A slight external indentation accompanies the palatalis superior; at the position of the infraparietalis the apertural lip is mostly slightly indented. The palatal side of the aperture appears vertical (in lateral view). Umbilicus open.

Population Policy Shifts and Their Implications for Population Stabilisation in Pakistan
No full textThe visible fast increase in the growth rate of world population occurred during the second half of the twentieth century due to the faster declines in mortality following the medical and public health advances made around the time of World War II. The global population growth rate after peaking of at around 1.7 to 1.9 percent per annum in the 1970s and 1980s has since started declining and is currently around 1.4 percent per annum. The world population more than doubled, recording 142 percent increase, from 2.51 billion in 1950 to around 6.07 billion in 2000 [Hakim (2000)]. Most of the increase has been in less developed countries, from 1.68 billion in 1950 to 4.88 billion in 2000, recording 190 percent. Compared to this, the more developed countries witnessed only a marginal increase of 43 percent from 0.83 billion in 1950 to 1.19 billion population in 2000.

The sculpture is often partially worn off. Body whorl slightly flattened obliquely and more or less narrowed, without a distinct keel. Palatal side of the aperture slightly protruding, appears vertical (in lateral view). Umbilicus narrowed but open. Shell height, 5.3–7.4 mm, width, 2.3–2.7 mm.</p> <p>Apertural lip usually strongly thickened, discontinuous at parietal side or connected by a thin callus. Some very weak folds may be present on the lip. Angularis either connected or not with spiralis. Subangularis present, more or less prominent. Columellaris reaching well beyond columella, somewhat more prominent than infracolumellaris. Both lamellae occasionally extend to the apertural lip. Infrapalatalis, palatalis inferior and palatalis superior clearly indented and reaching the edge of the aperture. At the weak anterodorsal palatal center a suprapalatalis and often a suturalis are present. The palatalis superior often forms a strong callous bulb at the apertural lip.</p> <p> Notes.—In the sample from the peak of the Pedro dels Quattre Battles mtn the apertural dentition is most strongly reduced. The infracolumellaris is hardly visible and does not reach the columella (in frontal view). The subangularis is lacking in this sample. The apertural lip is less strongly thickened than in other (fully grown) specimens in <i>A. secale</i>. In this sample angularis and spiralis are not connected, but that differs in other populations of this subspecies.</p> <p> Differentiation.— <i>Abida s. merijni</i> is most closely related to the two lowland forms that occur at the foot and along the flanks of the mountain, i.e. <i>A. s. margaridae</i> and <i>A. s. lilietensis</i>. In <i>A. s. margaridae</i> the angularis is always connected to the spiralis, but this is not so in <i>A. s. lilietensis</i> (and <i>A. s. affinis</i>). This might account for the variability of this character state, as observed in <i>A. s. merijni</i>. The strongly thickened apertural lip and the bulbous callus associated with the palatalis superior in <i>A. s. merijni</i> can be traced back to <i>A. s. margaridae</i>. A similarly thickened apertural lip is observed in <i>A. s. cadica</i>. However, <i>A. s. merijni</i> differs from the latter subspecies by the absence of a protruding aperture, which is characteristic for <i>A. s. cadica</i>. See also the differentiation sections for the other high-altitude forms.</p> <p>Derivatio nominis.—This subspecies is named after Dr. Merijn M. Bos, a good friend of the first author, who accompanied him on collecting trips to the summits of the Sierra’s Moixeró and Cadí (and back). His help and support were invaluable.</p> <p>Genetic barcode.—GenBank accession numbers EU395379 – EU395382.</p>Published as part of <i>Kokshoorn, Bas & Gittenberger, Edmund, 2010, Chondrinidae taxonomy revisited: New synonymies, new taxa, and a checklist of species and subspecies (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata) 2539, pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 2539 (1)</i> on pages 22-23, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2539.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10094211">http://zenodo.org/record/10094211</a>

Lindenburg leg., 06-viii-2004 (RMNH 99136 /5).</p> <p>Distribution.—See fig. 2.</p> <p>Description (n=35).—Shell slender spindle-shaped, with 7 3/8–8 1/8 slightly inflated whorls, sculptured with regularly placed, vague axial ribs. The sculpture is often partially faded. Body whorl slightly flattened and more or less narrowed, without apparent keel. Palatal side of the aperture slightly protruding in the middle (in lateral view). Umbilicus widely open. Shell height, 5.1–7.3 mm; width, 2.0– 2.2 mm.</p> <p>Apertural lip thickened, strongly reflected and discontinous at the parietal side or connected by a thin callus. Angularis not connected with spiralis. Subangularis absent. Columellaris not reaching beyond columella, clearly broader than subcolumellaris and parietalis. Infracolumellaris like columellaris but less prominent. Palatalis inferior and palatalis superior clearly indented and almost reaching the edge of the aperture. At the anterodorsal palatal center a weak suprapalatalis and infrapalatalis are present. A suturalis is usually absent.</p> <p> Differentiation.—This subspecies shares character states with both <i>A. s. lilietensis</i> and <i>A. s. brauniopsis</i>. These two subspecies occur at the foot and along the flanks of the mountain, i.e. <i>A. s. brauniopsis</i> on the south- and westside, and <i>A. s. lilietensis</i> on the NE-flank. The pronounced columellaris, widely open umbilicus and the strongly reflected apertural lip point to a relation with <i>A. s. brauniopsis</i>. However, along the eastflank of the mountain, at altitudes from 1,650 to 2,100 m, shells that are clearly intermediate between <i>A. s. peteri</i> and <i>A. s. lilietensis</i> are found. These specimens have a discontinuous apertural lip and the more slender shape that links these two taxa. <i>A. s. peteri</i> resembles <i>A. s. cadiensis</i> and <i>A. s. merijni</i>, but differs in that it is somewhat smaller and less conical and by its very fine striae that are more pronounced in both <i>A. s. cadiensis</i> and <i>A. s. merijni</i>.</p> <p>Derivatio nominis.—This subspecies is named after Mr. Peter Lindenburg. Without his help and support, the first fieldwork period of the first author would not have been possible. Together collecting trips to the peaks of the Pedraforca mtn and the Torre del Cadí mtn were made, where material of this new subspecies was collected.</p> <p>Genetic barcode.—GenBank accession numbers EU395369 – EU395370, EU395373, EU395378.</p>Published as part of <i>Kokshoorn, Bas & Gittenberger, Edmund, 2010, Chondrinidae taxonomy revisited: New synonymies, new taxa, and a checklist of species and subspecies (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pulmonata) 2539, pp. 1-62 in Zootaxa 2539 (1)</i> on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2539.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10094211">http://zenodo.org/record/10094211</a>
معتوب‘‘ (امراؤ طارق): ایک تانیثی مطالعہ’’
No full textUmrao Tariq is a famous fiction writer of our age. Maatoob is his important and multi dimentional novel. In this novel, he raised many questions and presented complications of the post modern era. Especially in the feminist perspective, study of this novel is very meaningful. In this article the researcher has tried to analyze various aspects of feminist approach in the novel Maatoob. The study has also highlighted the inner crises of the women, which forces her to express herself in various ways. It is also noted that the author has deviated from the prevalling techniques of the writing of this genre and tried to experiment new way to prove his point
LEGAL STANDING ISTRI DALAM GUGATAN PEMBATALAN PERKAWINAN SETELAH KEMATIAN SUAMI (STUDI PUTUSAN NOMOR: 1674/PDT.G/2023/PA.MR)
No full textAn annulment of marriage can be filed for several reasons, one of which is because a husband married another woman without the consent and without the knowledge of his wife, as is the case in Decision Number: 1674/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mr. However, the Panel of Judges rejected the lawsuit filed by the plaintiff because they considered that the plaintiff did not have the legal standing to file the lawsuit because the plaintiff's husband had died. Apart from that, there are several legal considerations which, in the author's opinion, are problematic. For example, the panel's consideration stated that the object of the case no longer exists (does not exist) due to the death of the plaintiff's husband, the legalization of the marriage between the defendant and the plaintiff's husband, which clearly resulted in a formal defect in the application for legalization of the marriage certificate submitted by the defendant. The aim of this research is to determine the process of resolving marriage annulment cases in case number: 1674/Pdt.G/2023/PA.Mr and to analyze the legal considerations of the Panel of Judges in deciding the case. The method that the author uses in this research is an empirical juridical method. This means that this research was carried out by conducting direct research in the field. Meanwhile, the approach method used is a socio-legal approach. The results obtained from this research are that the Plaintiff as a wife has legal standing as regulated in Article 73 letter b KHI jo. Article 23 letter b Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. Seeing these facts, the author considers that the panel of judges who handle this case should be more careful and thorough in deciding the case and should use a strong legal basis, both positive law and Islamic law
