Shortly after the Law on Military Housing came into force in 1879, the city designated locations for the construction of new barracks. The infantry barracks initially planned at the beginning of Savska Street were relocated due to plans to establish educational and cultural facilities in that area. The new location was confirmed in the Regulatory Plan of 1887 at the western edge of the Lower Town. The barracks were built in 1889 based on a design by Rupert Melkus, inspired by a project by Gruber & Völckner Office from 1881. After World War II, the barracks were abandoned. The 1865 Urban Development Program for the City of Zagreb and the 1971 General Urban Plan proposed the creation of a secondary city center on the site. In 1977 a competition was held, and the following year, most of the former barracks complex (eight out of 13 buildings) was demolished. The 1986 General Urban Plan proposed a park for the area. The park, inadequately designed and urbanistically unresolved for a central city location, still occupies the site today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the key elements of national security and defense of the state in the state is the military personnel. Social and legal protection, material support, and favorable conditions for the realization of their constitutional rights are priority tasks for the state. Providing housing for military personnel is one of the key aspects of social protection. The state of housing provision for military personnel not only reflects society's attitude toward its defenders but also holds strategic importance for ensuring combat readiness and the moral-psychological climate within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard of Ukraine, and other defense forces. At the legislative and organizational levels, the system of housing provision for military personnel in Ukraine remains ineffective and contains significant corruption risks. The sources of current legislation regulating the right of military personnel in Ukraine remains ineffective and contains significant corruption risks. The sources of corruption risks. The sources of current legislation regulating the right of military personnel to housing require radical changes. Soviet legislation forms the current housing laws, is outdated, and does not correspond to the present political or socio-economic conditions requiring radical changes. A comprehensive analysis of various periods in the development of domestic housing legislation provides an opportunity to identify the circumstances and reasons that will help eliminate the shortcomings in the legal regulation of housing relations and find ways to improve modern housing relations and find ways to improve modern housing legislation by introducing new mechanisms for housing legislation by introducing new mechanisms for housing provisions for housing provision for military personnel and their families. In this regard, it is important to conduct research on the circumstances and factors that influence the legal aspects of implementing new algorithms for housing provision for military personnel. Such an analysis will reveal the problems and shortcomings in the implementation of new housing provision mechanisms for a significant category of individuals and identify ways for their further development. The issue of implementing the «eOselya» affordable mortgage program for military personnel is considered. An analysis of mortgage housing loans has been conducted, focusing on the provision of long-term bank loans for the purchase or construction of residential real estate, where the collateral is the property itself. The requirements for candidates to obtain a preferential mortgage loan have been studied. Problematik issues arising in the process of mortgage implementation have been explored.

Canada became a suburban nation after WWII, but how the design of its suburbs evolved from grids to neighbourhood units of curvilinear streets is little known. During the post-war period, the federal government shaped suburban neighbourhoods by promoting community planning and new design standards, acting through the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The archival record demonstrates that the Canadian government influenced suburban design in wartime housing, veterans' housing and military communities, developing hundreds of neighbourhoods and several new towns. CMHC also partnered with other federal and provincial agencies and encouraged private builders to adopt the government's preferred design principles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Images of military conquest on Sennacherib's palace walls often featured his siege camps. By comparing the visual and textual references to these camps with the surroundings of the cities he besieged (on site and via aerial and satellite imagery, archaeological and historical data, and early maps and surveys), likely locations are proposed for Sennacherib's royal camps. These sites are found to have all had the same name on early maps, Mudawwara , which, in Arabic in the Middle Ages, denoted the enormous tent that housed the sultan on military expeditions. (At times, this name was prefaced with Khirbet al , indicating the ancient stone ruins thereof.) Examining all occurrences of this toponym within Judah and Philistia reveals a distribution consistent with what is known of Sennacherib's invasion route and of the cities besieged. It also resolves some long-standing questions and contributes to identifying the locations of the cities of Libnah and Nob. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies explicitly examining the antecedents of prison victimization are rare relative to other institutional outcomes (e.g., misconduct) and are virtually nonexistent for incarcerated military veterans. In the current study, we employed Firth regression models to predict victimization among a subsample of military veterans housed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections (MnDOC) using a target congruence approach. Inconsistent with prior theory and research, we observed no differences among veterans on the basis of race and physical or mental health disorders. We did, however, observe a relationship between an individual's risk of recidivism as measured by the MnSTARR 2.0 and victimization whereby higher scores corresponded with greater odds of victimization. Implications for theory and correctional policy are discussed and directions for future research are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes alternative physical and environmental features for the military housing welfare system, aimed at increasing stability and improving the quality of life in accordance with welfare objectives. The study examines welfare-related concepts, theories, studies, laws, and the management of homes in mixed-housing developments. Primary data was gathered through surveys and interviews, while secondary data was obtained from relevant documents and sources. Based on this data, a virtual project was developed to evaluate the progress of the proposed features and to determine how to integrate the concept of an integrated military housing welfare system into the physical features and surroundings of the project. The project's viability was assessed over a 30-year period from legal, financial, and practical perspectives. The results provide a framework for more adaptable and effective project management, which could be applied to other charity housing programs, and also address the shortcomings of previous government-run welfare housing schemes.

The intellectual and material author of this barrack is the engineer Antonio de Gáver, although its in Polvorista Square must be framed within the initiative and promotion of Juan de Villalba and under a typological model imposed by the new Bourbon regime. Several previous projects of Gáver in his destination of Oran for its barracks, found at the Archivo General de Simancas, allows the comparison with the building that was actually constructed, forcing the conclusion of a clear analogy. Furthermore, his close relationship, military career and probable friendship with the then head of the Captaincy, Juan de Villalba, would corroborate this fact with a definite and clear synergy between the high-ranking officer and the engineer who would both carry out the construction of the barracks.

Military dependents' villages, also known as juancun, are unique cultural landscapes in Taiwan. These compounds were established during the 1950s in order to house the defeated Kuomintang (KMT) soldiers and their families. There have been numerous literary and cinematic representations of juancun since the 1970s, but television dramas on the related topic did not appear until the 2000s. This article delves into the highly acclaimed 2015–2016 TV drama A Touch of Green (yi ba qing), directed by Tsao Jui-yuan, which is an adaptation of the mainlander writer Pai Hsien-yung's canonical literary work of the same name in 1971. It examines how Tsao turns Pai Hsien-yung's China-centric, nostalgic literary work into a TV drama that is aligned with contemporary Taiwanese values, in a bid to seek ethnic reconciliation between Taiwanese and mainlanders.

During the pre-industrial period, most military personnel were billeted instead of lodged in barracks. Historiography has tended to attribute this to a lack of foresight. In reality, the crown had no real interest in investing in them. Barracks could not provide the practical advantages of private households. The royal prerogative that obliged the population to billet the king's troops was, despite its unpopularity, a very valuable resource for both the soldiers and the crown and not simply a necessary inconvenience.

Many governments have implemented indirect policy instruments as an alternative to direct instruments for providing public services. However, the effectiveness of the instruments from the perspective of recipients has not yet been compared in depth in the literature. This study investigates the recipients' evaluation of the differences between public housing and housing vouchers, which were exogenously assigned by the government to recipients, using ordered logit and generalized ordered logit models to analyze data collected in 2019 from Korean military personnel. The findings indicate that the evaluations of the services delivered by housing vouchers were more positive than those of public housing, and the magnitude of the difference between evaluations varied according to the attributes of the household decision makers and the rural or urban location of the leased house. These findings provide empirically grounded contributions to the selection of policy instruments and uncover the contexts in which each policy instrument may be implemented for the best effect.

The purpose of the article is the general characteristics of military residential architecture built in the 1920s and 1930s in the 2nd Polish Republic. In the newly restored Poland the most pressing problem was the improvement of the housing conditions of the population. The military, who contributed the most to the reinstating of independence held special privilege with the state officials. Therefore, the problem of their quartering was resolved with utmost preference. After an unsuccessful period of trial and error with traditional and light timber frame construction the government addressed this problem systemically establishing the Military Accommodations Fund with a dedicated budget for creating typified, repeatable solutions. The MAF commissioned specific designers, held open as well as limited competitions and hired a cadre of architects and engineers to come up with designs that could rapidly and cost effectively replenish the housing base with functional, hygienic solutions. Because the MAF was well funded, the most prominent polish modernist architects readily cooperated with the organization making Polish interwar architectura militaris an engine of modernization.

The Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) Core Registry was established by the American College of Medical Toxicology in 2010. The Core Registry collects data from participating sites with the agreement that all bedside and telehealth medical toxicology consultations will be entered. This twelfth annual report summarizes the registry's 2021 data and activity with its additional 8552 cases. Cases were identified for inclusion in this report by a query of the ToxIC database for any case entered from January 1 to December 31, 2021. Detailed data was collected from these cases and aggregated to provide information, which included demographics, reason for medical toxicology evaluation, agent and agent class, clinical signs and symptoms, treatments and antidotes administered, mortality, and whether life support was withdrawn. Gender distribution included 50.4% of cases in females, 48.2% of cases in males, and 1.4% of cases in transgender or gender non-conforming individuals. Non-opioid analgesics were the most commonly reported agent class (14.9%), followed by opioids (13.1%). Acetaminophen was the most common agent reported. Fentanyl was the most common opioid reported and was responsible for the greatest number of fatalities. There were 120 fatalities, comprising 1.4% of all cases. Major trends in demographics and exposure characteristics remained similar to past years' reports. Sub-analyses were conducted to describe new demographic characteristics, including marital status, housing status and military service, the continued COVID-19 pandemic and related toxicologic exposures, and novel substances of exposure.

The accurate computation to predict the heat transfer and flow characteristics in an IRS system is challenging because of the complex designs of thermo-fluid dynamics, such as the entrainment of cold atmospheric air and mixing with the hot exhaust from the gas turbine housed in naval or cargo ships. This study considers the IRS device with four cylindrical funnels stacked one above the other. This study aims to find the suitable turbulence model(s) for numerical modeling of the IRS device. The Reynolds number based on the nozzle diameter is varied between 3527 and 7231 (laboratory-scale) and 4×105 to 5×105 (real-scale) as per the availability of the experimental data. Eight turbulence models, viz., standard  k-ε⁠, RNG k-ε (with standard wall function and enhanced wall functions), realizable k-ε⁠, low Reynold number (LRN) Launder-Sharma k-ε⁠, low Reynold number (LRN) Yang-Shi k-ε⁠, standard k-ω⁠, k-ω SST, v²-f are used to model the complex entrainment and mixing process inside the IRS device. The LRN-LS model estimates the thermos-fluid dynamics quite accurately for the lower Reynolds number range (laboratory-scale IRS), and SST k-ω model predicts accurately for higher Reynolds number values (real-scale IRS). We believe that the present study would help further the numerical modeling of IRS devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
