The Influence of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev’s Work on the Economic, Cultural, and Spiritual Development of Kazakhstan in the Late 19th Century and Early 20th Century

The significance and relevance of the issues are predetermined by the fact, that, by the time of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev’s activity, the political and social situation of Kazakhstan in the early 20th century was on the verge of collapse. The main factor that influenced this situation was the policy of spreading illiteracy, people alienated from religion language, and writing. From the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kazakhstan suffered from the colonial policies of the Russian Empire. Currently Kudaiberdiev writes a work “Catechism of Muslims”. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the consequences of the creative work on the economic and spiritual and cultural development of Kazakhstan. During the analysis, several scientific sources and materials were analyzed, and the following scientific methods were used: structural-functional and dialectical methods, the method of synthesis, logical and comparative analysis, and the method of generalization. During the research, it was proved that in the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev the calls to fight against the policy of tsarist Russia and to revive their language, customs, religion, and history were present. The main result of this research is proof that the works of Shakarim Kudaiberdiev had a tremendous impact on the social status, culture, religion, and language of the Kazakh people. His works acted in opposition to Russian policy and encouraged people who were tired of colonial oppression. The research on this issue is actively developed, therefore this work is of practical value for the definition of the role of Shakarim’s creativity during the economic, cultural, social, and political development of Kazakhstan at the end of 19 – the beginning of 20 century.

The Intellectual Class and the Rise of German Cultural Nationalism

German cultural nationalism emerged in the context of the invasion of French culture. This cultural nationalism was different from the nationalism represented by Britain and France, which focused on the expression of nationalism from the cultural level, and made use of cultural connection and unity to achieve the establishment of a nation state. In the 17th and 18th centuries, French culture invaded Germany in all aspects, and the aristocrat and the middle classes of the German states were proud of speaking French, while German was neglected as a national language. Against the background of the political and economic unification of the German region, a group of Deutsch intellectuals began to actively propagate and promote the German culture and language, hoping to establish a unified German national identity from the cultural identity to complete the unification of the country, and to make the German state regain its historical glory. The subsequent historical development proved that German cultural nationalism became the foundation stone of German unification. After the Napoleonic Wars, German cultural nationalism was further transformed into German political democracy, and Prussia finally completed the unification. How did German cultural nationalism emerge from all this, and what was the role of the German intellectual class in it? By studying this period of history, this paper is able to further understand the intricate international context and international situation in Western Europe at that time. At the same time, it draws on the positive factors of German cultural development.

Manufacturers perceptions of the barriers and facilitators of designing and producing accessible fitness equipment: A qualitative study

ABSTRACT A descriptive qualitative study was conducted to learn manufacturer perceptions of the barriers and facilitators of designing and producing accessible fitness equipment. Eight participants familiar with the ASTM International (formally the American Society for Testing and Materials) Universal Design of Fitness Equipment standards were interviewed via a virtual platform. Audio recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and independently coded by two investigators using thematic analysis. Two primary themes emerged from the data, 1) Challenges and 2) Tipping the Scale. Challenges included a humanitarian versus a business model view, application of the ASTM International standards, lack of a market analysis, and safety and liability. Facilitators deemed appropriate to tip the scale include consideration of a carrot (reward) versus a stick (punitive measures), availability of a market analysis, ASTM International standard modifications and enlisting activism for cultural change and development of laws and policies to mandate inclusion of accessible fitness space and equipment. Legislative action appears to be a primary facilitator to increase the design, development, and availability of accessible equipment in fitness centers.

Culinary practices of the Bidayuhs in Sarawak, Malaysia: a qualitative study

AbstractThe Bidayuh cuisines and culinary practices epitomize an inherent part of the cultural profile of the Sarawak community. This indigenous group (Bidayuh) is the second-largest group contributing to the Sarawak’s distinctive identity after the Iban. The distribution of the Bidayuh community is predominantly across the districts of Lundu, Bau, Kuching and Serian in Sarawak. There are concerns that the Bidayuh traditional culinary culture will gradually beset by modernization. Many prefer convenience over the hassle of cooking using the traditional manner, hence diluting the traditional culinary knowledge among the younger generations. Therefore, ethnomethodology, a qualitative research approach, was utilized to explore the traditional culinary practices and the connotation of food among the Bidayuh indigenous group in Sarawak, Malaysia. The data were collected from nine informants [Kampong Gumbang in Bau District (n = 5) and Kampung Mongkos in Serian District (n = 4)] who had voluntarily participated in this study. Through the ethnomethodological lens, this study documented eight traditional Bidayuh recipes and the collective development of the gastronomic culture of this community that are still remembered and practiced today.

Student-centered school, competency development and playful, experiential mathematics learning in Hungary

As colleagues of the Faculty of Culture, Education and Regional Development at the University of Pécs (Hungary), we have been striving for decades to ensure that teachers contribute as successfully as possible to the development of the most important competencies of their students. In our thesis we highlighted three topics (each related to a renowned psychologist) we found important in our teacher training practice. Based on the work of Carl Rogers, the person-centered approach has influenced the mindset of helping professionals worldwide over the past sixty years. In the 80's we started spreading it from the Juhász Gyula Teacher Training College in Szeged, and than from the University of Pécs. John Raven's psychocybernetic approach points out that education is a complex system in which positive changes in one factor can be detrimental to overall performance due to complex interactions. When the University of Pécs awarded John Raven an honorary doctorate, it also wanted to show that we want to build more on his work in teacher education. Zoltán Pál Dienes is considered the most exciting figure in playful, experiential, exploratory mathematics learning/teaching worldwide. In the last years of his life, he also became an honorary doctor of the University of Pécs and we undertook to bring his mathematical games (learning aids) to Hungarian schools. We hope that the "Dienes method" will make everyone like this anxiety-inducing subject, which is still foreign to many students today. The trends presented in this paper can help make our educational practice more child-centered and effective if we continue to make serious efforts.

Modern trends in physics education in Ukraine: integration of technologies and methods to increase effectiveness

The importance of the development of physical education cannot be doubted, since it is the key to the health of the nation and the building of a harmonious society as a whole. Modern realities of life in Ukraine, unfortunately, require not only the appropriate level of education, but also the consideration of additional negative factors affecting a person, his opportunities and needs. The main problems concern the general decrease in the physical activity of education applicants, the forced distance learning format, the lack of conditions for full-time physical education and sports. Nevertheless, this should not affect the quality and efficiency of education, which has caused attention to innovative technologies and approaches in education. There is an urgent need to develop educational and methodological support that will take into account the conditions of obtaining education, possible health risks for their maximum prevention, the potential of innovative technologies when mastering the discipline, the modern domestic experience of introducing new methods of training and directed physical development. The purpose of the article is to systematize innovations in the field of physical education in Ukraine to increase its effectiveness. The following general features of the development of physical culture in Ukraine were determined: striving for a healthy lifestyle and self-improvement among young people; craving for non-traditional sports; the desire to get certain results in sports, that is, persistent internal motivation. All this must be taken into account when drawing up educational and training programs that can really contribute to the development of physical capabilities, the identification of interest in various sports and physical activities, depending on the preferences and level of training, the state of health of the applicants for education. Innovative practices in the field of physical education must take into account the conditions of obtaining education. Therefore, innovations with the use of modern communication technologies, which allow to study independently, while receiving full informational support and control of the teacher, additional motivation from his side, are relevant at the moment. The emphasis in the methodology of theoretical training has shifted towards taking into account the possible risks of injury when performing exercises. This is mainly due to the distance learning format. It is important to provide applicants with all the information about the technique of performing exercises, possible mistakes and their consequences, to foster a responsible attitude to the training process. The introduction of modern communicative practices will contribute to encouraging students to physical development, a healthy lifestyle, independent additional classes, will allow you to correctly choose an interesting, necessary and affordable physical activity for yourself. Further development of this topic can be a detailed study of the methods of organizing the educational process taking into account the peculiarities of the introduction of innovations. The practical development of the experience will be the implementation of the formed programs and the determination of their effectiveness.
