Abstract:
Lighthouse is a tower with a strong light which gives navigators a continuous signal. There are about six lighthouses under the responsibility of the Central Region Marine Department of Malaysia. These lighthouses experienced severe construction defects and internal defects. Predictive maintenance, therefore, is performed manually to preserve the lighthouses. Lighthouse Maintenance Management Mobile Apps System (LMMS) is an Android mobile application developed for the Assistant Engineer, Technician, Marine Officer and Division Head of the Central Region Marine Department of Malaysia, responsible for the maintenance of lighthouses. Currently, the Central Region’s Marine Department of Malaysia lacks a computerised maintenance management system for the lighthouses, especially to manage maintenance schedules, work orders and maintenance-related records. In addition, the technician still uses a manual guide for troubleshooting tools and spare parts. Thus, LMMS was developed to solve these problems as a fully functioning mobile application by designing and developing a system for lighthouse maintenance management according to user needs. The methodology used to develop this mobile application is agile. The LMMS provides complete features for scheduling maintenance, orders for maintenance work, records related to maintenance, a list of tools and spare parts, and management of lighthouse information. The result shows that LMMS contributes to ease of use by using the mobile platform, quick and simple modules, systematic storage of historical records, efficient workload distribution, rapid reporting, updated list of tools and spare parts, and providing the latest information on the lighthouses. Deploying LMMS helps the Central Region Marine Department of Malaysia manage and maintain the lighthouses more effectively.

Abstract:
The Hellenic Lighthouse Network (HLN) is one of the most extensive and organized systems worldwide. Some of its most remarkable and historic lighthouses and beacons have been characterized as “Monuments of Modern Cultural Heritage” and are available to the public for small-scale, non-profit cultural uses. An increasing number of activities have taken place at or near lighthouses for the past decade, but lighthouse enthusiasts are convinced that such events could be organized on a more frequent and regular basis. Lighthouses are delicate albeit multifaceted structures that attract people seeking sophisticated and solitary experiences beyond the mass tourism realm. Since the practical significance of lighthouses is declining due to advances in navigation technology, their cultural worthiness is rediscovered and utilized in many tourism development plans across the world. This paper aims at suggesting an innovative and sustainable framework for the tourist valorization of Greek traditional lighthouses that is respectful of their inherent tangible and intangible values. The historical background explaining the cultural heritage Greek lighthouses represent, as well as national legislation restrictions regarding their management, are discussed and taken into account.

Abstract:
Greece owns one of the most extensive and best organized coastal and open sea lighting systems across the world. Some of the most breathtaking and historic lighthouses and beacons of the Hellenic Lighthouse Network have been characterized as "Monuments of Modern Cultural Heritage" and are available to visitors under certain circumstances. Greek lighthouses are austere albeit multi symbolic structures that enchant people seeking refined and reclusive experiences beyond the mass tourism spectrum. This paper aims at succinctly presenting the history of Greek lighthouses and examining the perspective of their valorization in cultural tourism, taking into account their legal framework, ownership status and inherent worthiness. Lighthouses represent tangible and intangible cultural values, which deserve to be rediscovered and communicated in ways that ensure sustainability and protection for lighthouse buildings and surrounding areas.

Abstract:
The subject of this study is the potential of lighthouses located in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship as a leitmotif for the EuroVelo 10 bicycle trail. The study examined from which places on the trail lighthouses can be seen, marked places where panoramic views of the sea open, and suggested activities that could help improve the exposure of lighthouses from the perspective of the trail. It was found that 6 of the 7 surveyed objects are already visible, in some form, from the trail. It was concluded that lighthouse objects are already or could become valuable landmarks for EuroVelo 10 route, but it should be considered how to maintain continuity of visual experience on the sections between lighthouses.

Abstract:
Purpose The lighthouse tourism, which has been flourishing in several coastal areas and port cities with waterfront, provides the ideal scenario for escape experiences. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the implicit (dark tourism) meanings, symbolisms and emotions evoked by lighthouses, in particular those related with recreational storm chasing, “land’s ends” pilgrimage and gaze upon dystopic places. Design/methodology/approach Using a qualitative approach such as filmography’s content analysis (filtered by IMDb database), photo elicitation and engagement with lighthouses promotion websites, this study searched for evidences supporting the classification of lighthouse tourism as a “lighter” dark tourism product. Findings The qualitative information gathered from different sources provided support for a taxonomy of motives for engaging (dark) lighthouse experiences: risk recreation; isolation and loneliness; pilgrimage; shipwrecking; memorials; dystopia; and gaze for “ice palaces.” Research limitations/implications This conceptual paper suggests a taxonomy for a systematic classification of dark lighthouse experiences and suggested some research propositions for further research. Practical implications Public decision makers, maritime authorities and tourism operators may acknowledge the theoretical and practical contributions provided by this paper and develop innovative escape experiences. Social implications The lighthouse tourism is an innovative and creative way to promote the sustainable development of waterfronts of port cities, giving more “energy” to these coastal and often peripheral areas. Originality/value The paper fills a gap in the literature that so far never had deeply explored the relationship between the lighthouses’ meanings/experiences and dark tourism and introduces the innovative concept of (dark) lighthouse tourism.

Abstract:
The paper presents marketing projects of managing lighthouses as cultural and historical heritage in Croatia and Montenegro. Regardless of the advances in technology and changes of the functioning of modern navigational aids, lighthouses as cultural-historical monuments can get other value through the touristic market. The Croatian Stone Lights project is a commercialization of lighthouse buildings as a good practice example of promoting the maritime identity of the country, promoting national tourism offer and positioning the national tourism brand in the global tourism market. The Montenegrin project The Art of the Lighthouses is an original concept of creating destination icons by implementing art installations on lighthouses, harbours and coastal lights, which were used in this project for a purpose other than their primary one – being part of the navigation safety system. The aim of the paper is to present the results of these projects and their impact on the national identity. There are few tourist destinations in the world that offer accommodation in lighthouses, and there are still fewer examples of using port and coastal lights as recognizable destination icons. The paper develops through three basic sections: the introduction of both projects, descriptive analysis of tourist valorisation of lighthouses (marketing management of lighthouses as a part of cultural heritage and creation of destination icons), and finally research findings (focus of tourism expert groups – how to connect Croatian and Montenegrin projects on the marketing platform). The research results of this paper aim at linking Croatian and Montenegrin marketing experiences for the possible future cooperation in the field of commercialization of cultural and historical resources for touristic valorisation.

Abstract:
The lighthouse has long been a familiar setting for stories of love, conflict, and epiphany. That isolated tower on the clifftop brims with symbolic possibility and sometimes cliché, positioning it as a site of gendered love, with popular fiction titles embedding the trope of the contained world revolving, like the lit lamp, around the male authority. But the lighthouse also has an explicit historical situatedness. The nineteenth century British lighthouses, in particular, were seen as outposts of empire. They are immovable inscriptions of the outlines of islands, the edges of continents – the imprint of colonisation on country. And they are often seen as male domains. In the popular imagination, a lighthouse is much more than its function. Does recent historical fiction perpetuate or subvert what we think we know about lighthouses and the people who populated them? How does it portray the officially gendered roles and intense relationships of women characters? How might historical novels set in settler colonies recognise the specific meaning of the lighthouse as a marker of imperial authority? And how do we read the lighthouse and its place in the imagination as a geography of gender and love?

ResuméArtiklens ærinde er at undersøge hvordan fænomenet fagligt fyrtårn, der blev introduceret i forbindelse med den nationale kompetenceudvikling på dagtilbudsområdet i 2018, konstrueres blandt ledere, medarbejdere og fyrtårne, samt at identificere de udfordringer, muligheder og dilemmaer der knytter sig hertil. Artiklen bygger på interviews med faglige fyrtårne, ledere og kolleger. Analysen viser, at de faglige fyrtårne konstrueres på mangfoldige måder gennem de positioner de forhandler sig frem til og bliver givet i det pågældende samarbejde. Artiklens metodologiske afsæt er inspireret af socialkonstruktionistisk erkendelsesteori, hvor virkeligheden anskues som et socialt konstrueret fænomen. I artiklen bliver fænomenet faglige fyrtårne sat i perspektiv i forhold til forståelsen af en intern og ekstern professionsforståelse og artiklen afsluttes med at fremhæve fire fremtrædende analytiske positioner; faglige fyrtårne som lyskastere, eksperter, facilitatorer og forandringskraft. AbstractVocational lighthouses - a growing phenomenon in daycare institutionsThe purpose of this article is to examine the ways in which the phenomenon vocational lighthouse, introduced in reference to the national competence initiatives in daycare in 2018, is constructed among leaders, employees and vocational lighthouses and to identify challenges, possibilities, and dilemmas related to the position. The article is based on several interviews from vocational lighthouses, leaders and colleagues. The analysis shows that the vocational lighthouses are constructed in specific and multifarious ways, closely connected to the context and the negotiated positions in which they participate in the local collaboration. Methodologically the article is inspired by social constructionist theory, whereby reality is viewed as a socially constructed phenomenon. The article places the vocational lighthouses in an understanding of an internal and external profession, and in conclusion, the article highlights four salient positions: vocational lighthouses as light-casters, experts, facilitators and change enforcers.

"Influence of the Spatial Pressure Distribution of Breaking Wave Loading on the Dynamic Response of Wolf Rock Lighthouse."

Abstract:
The survivability analysis of offshore rock lighthouses requires several assumptions of the pressure distribution due to the breaking wave loading (Raby et al. (2019), Antonini et al. (2019). Due to the peculiar bathymetries and topographies of rock pinnacles, there is no dedicated formula to properly quantify the loads induced by the breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses. Wienke’s formula (Wienke and Oumeraci (2005) was used in this study to estimate the loads, even though it was not derived for breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses, but rather for the breaking wave loading on offshore monopiles. However, a thorough sensitivity analysis of the effects of the assumed pressure distribution has never been performed. In this paper, by means of the Wolf Rock lighthouse distinct element model, we quantified the influence of the pressure distributions on the dynamic response of the lighthouse structure. Different pressure distributions were tested, while keeping the initial wave impact area and pressure integrated force unchanged, in order to quantify the effect of different pressure distribution patterns. The pressure distributions considered in this paper showed subtle differences in the overall dynamic structure responses; however, pressure distribution #3, based on published experimental data such as Tanimoto et al. (1986) and Zhou et al. (1991) gave the largest displacements. This scenario has a triangular pressure distribution with a peak at the centroid of the impact area, which then linearly decreases to zero at the top and bottom boundaries of the impact area. The azimuthal horizontal distribution was adopted from Wienke and Oumeraci’s work (2005). The main findings of this study will be of interest not only for the assessment of rock lighthouses but also for all the cylindrical structures built on rock pinnacles or rocky coastlines (with steep foreshore slopes) and exposed to harsh breaking wave loading.

Abstract:
Offshore lighthouses are a remarkable historical heritage often over 100 years old. The management of their ageing is a challenge and requires a thorough understanding of their structural response under wave loading. With this aim in view, the dynamic response of the ‘La Jument’ lighthouse in the French Iroise Sea was characterized in situ , with accelerometers, under the action of a breaking wave, during a winter storm in January 2018. Detailed exploitation of the measurement data complemented by photographic documentation of the same wave event helped determine eigenfrequencies and damping coefficients of the structure as well as the likely orientation of the wave and the position of its crest with respect to the lighthouse tower. The results of these analyses were put into perspective with those of literature and more specifically from three-dimensional finite element modelling of the structural response of the lighthouse under the action effects of breaking waves. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Environmental loading of heritage structures’.

Abstract:
We are in the golden age for the search for high-redshift galaxies, made possible by a combination of new instruments and innovative search techniques. One of the major aims of such searches is to constrain the epoch of reionization (EoR), which marks the second major change in the ionization state of the Universe. Understanding the EoR is difficult since whilst it is galaxy evolution which drives reionization, reionization itself influences galaxy evolution through feedback effects. Unraveling the interplay of reionization and galaxy evolution is further complicated by of a lack of understanding of the metal enrichment and dust distribution in high redshift galaxies. To this end, a class of galaxies called Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) have been gaining enormous popularity as probes of all these three processes. In this thesis, we couple state of the art cosmological SPH simulations (GADGET-2) with a physically motivated, self-consistent model for LAEs, so as to be able to understand the importance of the intergalactic medium (IGM) ionization state, dust and peculiar velocities in shaping their observed properties. By doing so, the aim is to gain insight on the nature of LAEs, put precious constraints on their elusive physical properties and make predictions for future instruments such as the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). Using our LAE model in conjunction with a code that builds the MW merger tree (GAMETE), we build a bridge between the high-redshift and the local Universe. We also use SPH simulations (GADGET-2) to study the nature of the earliest galaxies that have been detected as of yet, place constraints on their contribution to reionization, and predict their detectability using the next generation of instruments, such as the James Web Space Telescope (JWST).

Abstract:
United States Lighthouses are being decommissioned by the United States Coast Guard because they are no longer needed as navigational aids. Government agencies and non-profit groups untrained in preservation are assuming control of these aids. These groups need assistance to adequately maintain the lighthouse and prevent major deterioration problems. About 300 managers of lighthouses were contacted for information on how they maintain their lighthouse, including information on shoreline erosion. About 120 replies were received containing maintenance and restoration information, drawings and photographs. The lighthouse system was divided into six geographic regions with similar climatic conditions for closer examination. The replies from the lighthouses regarding common deterioration problems in the construction materials and environmental conditions were used to develop general maintenance guidelines for each geographic region. Lighthouse managers can use these maintenance guidelines to assist them in preserving their lighthouse.Shoreline erosion was examined closely because of its destructive capability. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in North Carolina was used as a Case Study in combatting erosion.

This dissertation is aimed to analyze the changes observed in the social uses of lighthouses along the northeast coast of Brazil. We aim to develop geographical and historical approaches to better understand how these monuments have been used at present, within the new social demands were at the beginning of the XXI century. To perform the analysis we organized a historical retrospective on the occupation and use of coastal areas of Brazil, along with theoretical studies concerning the category of territory, fundamental to our discussions. We emphasize that, in addition to desk research, our study consisted of field research, where we could observe the interactions between local people and the headlights. We believe that this research was justified as it helped to organize a scientific knowledge on the subject, generating theoretical support to re-interpret the headlights while coastal monuments and heritage materials from Brazil. Finally, we found that besides material wealth, the lamps can be interpreted as cultural heritages of people living on the Brazilian coast.
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo central analisar as transformações verificadas nos usos sociais dos faróis marítimos do litoral nordestino do Brasil. Objetivamos desenvolver abordagens geográficas e históricas para compreender melhor como estes monumentos tem sido utilizados na atualidade, dentro das novas demandas sociais vigentes no início do século XXI. Para realizar a análise organizamos uma retrospectiva histórica sobre a ocupação e uso dos espaços costeiros do Brasil, juntamente com estudos teóricos referentes à categoria de território, fundamental para nossas discussões. Enfatizamos que além da pesquisa documental, nosso estudo foi composto por pesquisas de campo, onde pudemos observar as interações entre as populações locais e os faróis. Entendemos que esta pesquisa se justificou na medida em que contribuiu para organizar um conhecimento cientifico sobre o tema, gerando subsídios teóricos para re-interpretar os faróis enquanto monumentos costeiros e patrimônios materiais do Brasil. Por fim, pudemos constatar que além de patrimônios matérias, os faróis podem ser interpretados como patrimônios culturais de populações que vivem na costa brasileira.

Abstract:
It is well known that, socioeconomic development in coastal regions is in many respects are more rapid than elsewhere. The rapid development has been the outcome of recognition of these regions as a means providing ideal conditions for relatively cheap transport, food and mineral resource, petroleum, natural gas, agricultural and industrial development, housing and recreation, etc. Therefore, coastal areas are under threat due to forcing function of human activities. A novel technique addressed scenic evaluation through application of fuzzy logic methodologies to values obtained from checklist that itemized 26 human and physical parameters rated on five-point attribute scale. The methodology enabled calculation of an Evaluation Index (D) which categorizes all sites and statistically best described attribute values in terms of weighted areas. The methodology developed for coastal scenic evaluation using Fuzzy Logic Approach (FLA) is a very useful tool in making future management plans for coastal areas by simulating different human usages. With regard to coastal zone management this technique is suitable for evaluating future potential changes especially with regard to influence of coastal structures on the coastal scenery. This work will hopefully be utilized by coastal mangers, planners, academics, governmental agencies, as to improve the especially human usage of the coastal areas also this work will be a tool for the preservation and conservation and the sustainable development of the coastal areas. For the pilot site, Ç
irali, D values are calculated and corresponding classes are found for different attributes of parameters rising from the human usage.

Coastal regions are very important because they provide a lot of resources and benefits for all the humankind. Coastal defense structures protect coastal regions from wave attacks. However, the cost of construction such coastal defense structures are very high and need big investments. Hence, to reach the optimum design and minimize the risk of failure has vital importance during the design stage of these structures. Model studies are the most effective tool in optimizing the design of these structures. Rubble mound coastal defense structures were constructed with assembly of different sizes of armor stones and front slopes. Rubble mound coastal defense structures were designed by Van der Meer

This thesis deals with delay prediction issue between nodes on the Internet. Accurate delay prediction helps with choosing of the nearest internet neighbor and contributes to effective usage of network sources. Unnecessary network load is decreased due to algorithms of delay prediction (no need for many latency measuring). The thesis focuses theoretically on the three main algorithms using coordinate systems - GNP, Vivaldi, Lighthouses. Last one is at the same time the main subject of the thesis too. Algorithm Lighthouses is explored in detail theoretically and in practise too. In order to verify the accurate of delay prediction of Lighthouses algorithm the simulation application was developed. The application is able to compute node coordinates of synthetic network using Lighthouses algorithm. Description of simulation application and evaluation of simalution results are part of practice part of this thesis.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the Mediterranean coastal monitoring actors (i.e. maritime signaling instruments) such as lighthouses, lights, traffic lights. A twofold motivation behind this choice: on the one hand the 110th anniversary - that will be celebrated in 2021 - of the transfer of the management of the lighting service of the coasts from Italian Ministry of Public Works to the Navy. On the other hand, the willing to illustrate how the Systemic Design methodology can represent a strategic element for the enhancement of a coastal Cultural Heritage such as the one represented by lighthouses.

Abstract:
Lighthouses and other navigational aids are situated near tumultuous seas and thus may be good candidates for early applications of wave energy conversion technologies. The U.S. Coast Guard First District is converting lighthouses’ electrical systems to solar power to divest itself of electrical submarine cables and overhead costs associated with cable maintenance. However, in some lighthouses solar conversion is impractical or may compromise historic preservation. Unless alternative energy sources become available for these locations, they will continue to use submarine cables to run on shore power. Lighthouse sites for which shoreline and wave characteristics are suitable would be good candidates for a wave energy demonstration project. This paper describes gravity wave physics and the characteristics of mechanical radiation (growth, propagation, diffraction, and shoaling). A simple expression for energy content of a wave train with a two-parameter Bretschneider spectrum is applied to spectral wave density data collected from 15 buoys to evaluate wave energy resource potential at 31 candidate lighthouse sites in New England. Annual average wave power per meter of wavecrest varied from 3.9 to 21.7 kW/m at the buoys, and from 3.9 to 9.2 kW/m (with an average of 5.0 kW/m) at the lighthouses (buoys with maximum wave power are far out to sea, but still influence the correlation). The performance characteristics of two types of wave energy conversion technologies are used to calculate annual energy delivery by way of example. The paper concludes with a discussion of economics and environmental and permitting issues. It identifies Seguin Island light off a point in Maine and Nauset Beach, Chatham, Nantucket, and Sankaty Head lights (on Nantucket Island and along the outer shore of Cape Cod) as the best sites to begin more detailed evaluations, based on a comparison of wave power and utility rates. Subsequent studies would include demand profile for lighthouses, supply profiles, and resulting storage requirements.

Full text
Abstract:
Data from full-scale measurements of ice loads on lighthouse Norstro¨msgrund has been analyzed using basic statistical methods. Questions like scaling, duration of ice interaction and correlation of extreme ice loads on different segments of the structure are discussed. Typical ice conditions in the Baltic Sea are described in general and the region is divided into areas with similar ice and ice movements. Indications of strong influence of structure diameter on the effective ice pressure were confirmed by results obtained on other lighthouses in the area. The result can be used in simulations of ice load probabilities for fixed vertical structures with small diameters located in the Baltic Sea.

Abstract:
The objective of this cruise was to conduct the final and complete field test of the LIGHTHOUSE situational awareness system for remotely operated vehicles, developed in the HVF 0068 Project LIGHTHOUSE. This included three divesof the ROV PHOCAin the Norwegian Sognefjord, during which the optical and acoustic sensors were validated. Moreover, as part of the EU H2020 project iAtlantic (grant agreement 818123), we investigated the response of pelagic deep-sea fauna to warmingand suspended sediment (which will be introduced to pelagic ecosystems by deep-sea mining activities). To this end, we captured the jellyfish Periphylla periphyllaand conducted shipboard experiments.

Abstract:
The objective of this cruise was to establish the first order functionality of the LIGHTHOUSE system in terms of mechanics, ROV operations, electrical components and data link. This is a highly integrated suite of optical and acoustic sensors to create a real time 360° scan of an underwater environment, in order to enhance the situational awareness of pilots and mission specialists. The tests were to be conducted in the clear, deep waters of the Norwegian Sognefjord. Due to severe technical malfunctions that became only apparent during mobilization in the port of Kiel, the vessel stayed moored to the east shore and west shore quays in Kiel Harbor, except for an excursion off Boknis Eck in the Eckernförde Bight. Despite these restrictions in locality, the majority of the work programme was carried out with great success.

Full text
Abstract:
The US Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the nation’s most effective cultural resources legislation to date, mostly through establishing the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NHPA requires federal agencies to address their cultural resources, which are defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. The precursor to the Corps of Engineers erected the mole (a.k.a., the south pier) in the early 1820s at the entrance to the Buffalo harbor. The area on top of and surrounding the mole was modified through the past two hundred years, many of the character-defining features remain including the stone retaining walls, talus, stairs, and lighthouse identified in plans and drawings from the period of construction. Notably lost is the stone tow path, or banquette, and the stone incline on the south side of the mole is no longer visible. The researchers recommend a period of significance of c. 1820 through 1972 (50 years) since the mole has continued its original use of keeping the entrance to the Buffalo River open for freight and recreational boating traffic through the present day.

Bjelland, David, and Bozena Dorota Hrynyszyn. Energy retrofitting of non-residential buildings with effects on the indoor environment: a study of university buildings at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. Department of the Built Environment, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.54337/aau541564763.

Full text
Abstract:
The year 2050 is considered the deadline for achieving the European climate goal of net zero emissions, an essential sustainability milestone. Current strategies ask for higher retrofitting rates in the building sector, as most of today’s buildings will still be standing and be used in 2050, and longer. However, retrofitting strategies must consider energy and emissions reductions alongside social sustainability, targeting not only the building but also its users. Historically, the focus has been on indoor environmental quality, while other aspects of human well-being such as the quality of views were not addressed as frequently. Educational buildings can function as lighthouse projects, profiting from its many users as communicators. This article presents the retrofitting potential of the central building complex of the Gløshaugen campus of the NTNU in Trondheim in terms of energy, as basis to study the impact of retrofitting strategies on the indoor environment. The study consists of a selection of details, their building physical assessment, and a proposal of retrofitting measures. The results highlight the importance of human-centric definitions in the early (re-)design stages. Humancentric planning aspects can have diverse positive influences on the building’s users, especially in educational and other highly cognitive settings. Their impact however is strongly dependent on the selection of measures and their implementation. Interactions of the many aspects of well-being that can be addressed during retrofitting must be studied further as their interdependencies are often unclear and case specific. Human-centric retrofitting can function as a guide for upcoming mass retrofits throughout Europe for the sustainable achievement of climate goals.
