An Investigation of the Perception of Neoclassical, Eclectic, Modernist, and Postmodern Architecture within Different Urban Landscapes: Athens vs. Paris

The public perception of buildings belonging to different architectural movements is a largely unexplored area from a quantitative scientific perspective. However, a better scientific understanding of perceptions of architectural movements is important for the formation of improved planning and design policies. In this work, we carry out an initial exploration of the public preferences of the architectural movements of Neoclassicism, Eclecticism, Modernism, and Postmodernism. To this aim, a total of 103 citizens from Athens (Greece) and Paris (France) were presented with the same questions regarding their opinions on buildings belonging to those movements. In the analysis and interpretation of the collected data, the different cultural, professional, and demographic characteristics of participants were then considered, as well as the role of the urban landscapes of Athens and Paris as the historical, societal, and aesthetic contexts that influence and shape perceptions. The results demonstrated a clear and uniform prevalence of Neoclassical architecture in terms of positive public perception in both cities. Similarly, in both cities, Eclecticism followed with a relatively more positive perception than Modern and Postmodern architectural styles, which were rated the lowest. However, a significant difference between the two cities was that when participants singled out their primary favorite style, Modernism enjoyed higher favorability in Athens than in Paris. These findings and their theoretical exploration provide inferences into the complexities of public perceptions of architectural styles, with potential implications for the integration of citizen preferences into future research on architectural/urban design and planning.

The use of traditional Chinese elements in modern interior design in the context of multimedia

Abstract Chinese traditional elements have to carry on their own inheritance and innovation in continuous social development, and this process will encounter different challenges and complex problems. In order to better integrate traditional elements into interior design, this paper analyzes the current situation of integrating traditional elements into modern interior design, uses a neural network model to explore the influence of multimedia context on the modern interior design of traditional Chinese elements, and investigates modern people’s preference for the way traditional elements are integrated into modern interior design through a questionnaire survey. The results show that the priority factors for choosing an interior design, the number of consumers aged 20-35 who prefer their favorite style in home decoration, accounts for about 40% of the total, and the cross analysis shows that the sense of atmosphere accounts for 15%, which shows that young people around 20-35 years old have the personality of the times and pursue a high quality of life. Only the age older users will consider comfort. It can be seen that interior design with traditional elements is more in line with the preferences of older people. Inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese culture is a huge challenge, and the reasonable integration of traditional and modern science needs to make attempted more.

Specifics of perception of historical and cultural heritage by generation Z in the conditions of network existence

The paper focuses on the issues of intercultural interaction in terms of the generational perception of various styles of musical and visual culture. Contrary to established opinion, Generation Z perceives various genres of art not through the prism of the determination of the youth subculture but as a cultural information array in general. The opposition of supporters of various musical and visual genres and styles of fine art is not typical for a significant part of Generation Z, which is associated with the features of the generation “living” in the digital environment and the specifics of the present stage of the information or digital society. The study involved students (aged 18–24) of the technical and humanitarian fields of training. The survey revealed that metamodern values were common among the younger generation. About half of the respondents identified themselves as citizens of the country, about a third referred to themselves as representatives of ethnicity or religion. As for cultural preferences, the majority showed a positive attitude towards various styles both in classical and modern musical and visual arts. Approximately equal shares of respondents regarded classical and modern art styles as their favorite styles. At the same time, the representatives of Generation Z involved in the survey did not have an opposition between supporters of various styles.

Interaction Styles in Context: Comparing Drag-and-Drop, Point-and-Touch, and Touch in a Mobile Spelling Game

ABSTRACT The choice of appropriate interaction style for children’s application has been a divisive subject of debate. For example, drag-and-drop is often said to perform worse than point-and-click in educational applications – and vice versa. In this article, we argue for the need to choose the interaction style in context, considering a range of factors. We compare drag-and-drop, point-and-touch, and simple touch for selecting letters to form words in a spelling line as part of an educational spelling game. We evaluate the perceived workload, user experience, preference, and writing times of twenty-five children (8–11 years), eight of whom were dyslexic. We found that touch received better ratings and was ranked highest most often on all subscales compared to drag-and-drop and point-and-touch. Children needed less time using touch and 68% chose it as their favorite interaction style. We also found small advantages for drag-and-drop over point-and-touch, which runs counter to some recent recommendations. This becomes particularly clear when using ranking responses, which support a particularly fine-grained picture.

Gender stereotype and hostile sexism among young korean gamers based on teammate selection strategy and game style preferences

<span>Female gamers are growing rapidly worldwide especially in young age groups and in mobile platform. Since that population change appears in recent 10 years, formerly male-oriented gaming community has confronted gender issues. In this paper, we witness that a strong gender stereotype exists for both genders in Korea by two surveys. In the first survey, subjects show that they have different expectations of opposite gender’s favorable game style where both genders have exactly same favorite styles. In the second survey, we investigate how members of hostile sexism community groups choose teammates in Overwatch game if they have privilege to select teammates for specific roles. Ilbe and Womad as two far extreme misogyny and misandry groups show hostile sexism in teammate selection. The result implies that hostile sexism and gender stereotype shown in game playing may be induced from other social factors than the amount of the game playing experiences. </span>

Potential of Visualizing Preference as Internal Factor for the Creative Process

Background Nowadays, many researches on the objective and logical evaluations of created (=designed) objects are conducted in design engineering and the Kansei design field. However, there are not many studies on the relationship between a creator’s creativity and the evaluation of the created artwork in the fine art field. Many students in the fine art field conduct creative work with their limited favorite styles although they have not yet developed their own expressive characteristics. This simply means that they need to be introspective and cultivate their own preference (=Kansei) as an internal factor. With this background in mind, the purpose of this research is to provide students in art & design school with new perspectives so that they can examine their own preferences and develop characteristics of their creative work. Thus, not only Kansei as a source of creativity but also Kansei as an evaluation on perceived stimulus from outside are addressed in this research. Methods For the purpose of this study “Beyond Creativity” was conducted with 14 students of art & design at Southern Illinois University (SIU). Each participant selected a favorite item from daily life. Each one was required to conduct a presentation about why they selected the item in as logical a way as possible. Then, they selected a favorite artwork from a magazine, named “Glass Quarterly”. Each student’s preference as a creator’s internal factor was visualized with the Evaluation Grid Method (EG method). Each one was also required to present on this. The result of the EG method was analyzed by multivariate analysis, Semantic Differential method (SD method) and factor analysis. Result Each participant’s preference as an internal factor was visualized by an evaluation structure with the EG method. The evaluation structure was composed of 57 adjectives (Ave. 4.75 per person) and 195 definite reasons (Ave. 16.25 per person). From the factor analysis, it was revealed that a participant used the following 3 factors to evaluate the selected as a favorite glasswork: “originality factor,” “abstractness factor,” and “conservativeness factor.” Each selected favorite artwork was scored based on these three factors. Conclusion Each one’s preference for an artwork was visualized and scored with the EG method and factor analysis even though it was said to be difficult to describe. Each student could understand one’s preference for creative work. Moreover, all students were able to easily convey each ohter’s preference objectively and logically to others. From the results, each participant was able to examine their own preference based on the visualized and scored evaluation results. Thus, the results mean each student can understand their characteristics of creative work. That is instrumental in trying various expressions in their creative work. Moreover, they can convey their creative work to others objectively and logically by using the results of the analysis.

Gombrowicz a polski film fabularny

This article presents the influence that Witold Gombrowicz’s work has had on Polish cinema. It covers several generations of directors, for example, Andrzej Munk (born in the 1920s), Roman Polanski and Jerzy Skolimowski (born in the 1930) as well as Agnieszka Holland, Piotr Szulkin and Marek Koterski (born in the 1940s and 1950s), and discusses the topic of film adaptations of his books (Jerzy Skolimowski’s Ferdydurke and Jan Jakub Kolski’s Pornografia [Pornography]). The article shows that Polish cinema uses Gombrowicz’s works most of all by taking up the issue of life’s authenticity and inauthenticity as well as to demythologize Polish tradition and history. As for esthetics, it employs Gombrowicz’s favorite style, i.e. the grotesque.

중국 상해 및 상해 인근도시에 거주하는 20-30대 여성의 웨딩행동 분석

Nowadays, global wedding dress companies are interested in the Chinese wedding market because of expectations in consumption patterns of the post 80's generation. Therefore, wedding behavior, selection criteria for wedding dresses, and favored image by segmented groups targeting 20's to 30's Chinese women were studied to help the Korean wedding dress industry to establish their business in China. The survey was conducted in Shanghai city and three neighboring cities-Wuxi, Zhengziang, and Hangzhou-, and the primary data were analyzed using the SPSS program. As results, Chinese women thought that the wedding ceremony should be elegant and dignified, and they wanted to choose their favorite style rather than a recommended style. The criteria of selection were classified into four factors. Overall image and well fitting with their face and body were the most important factors in the selection of wedding dress. The most favored image was unique/novel image. Several favored images for their wedding dress were significantly different by occasion (ceremony day and photo shoot day) and education level. People of higher education level preferred more luxurious and classic image during the ceremony, and a classic and gorgeous image on the photo shoot day. A white dress and a colored dress for weddings were favored more than the Chinese traditional dress on both occasions. There was also a significant difference between general consumers and the wedding business employees in the quantity of wanted wedding dress.

Listening for Geographies: Music as Sonic Compass Pointing Toward African and Christian Diasporic Horizons in the Caribbean

I met my partner Haiti while I was doing field research on Vodou and music. At the time he was a sound tech for his sister's band, Boukman Eksperyans. We were introduced at the Rex Theater downtown Port-au-Prince, right on the stage, a few hours before the show. The band usually set up to a soundtrack of its own music or to Bob Marley and the Wailers pumped up to a volume I found uncomfortable but that the musicians loved. Loud music made the air thicker, and it shaped the space into a pulsating, vibrating, energized place. Hand-carved drums thundered during the sound check. The band members of Boukman Eksperyans were self-conscious researchers of the musical legacy of the African Diaspora that had brought their forebears to Haiti during colonial slavery. Taking ethnographic forays into the countryside to historic religious compounds, the band learned the rhythms, songs, and dances associated with the eighteenth-century diasporic strands: the Dahome, the Nago, the Kongo, and the Ibo. They blended these styles, along with elements of Protestant and Rastafari thought, into their own rock fusion and toured the Antilles, the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan on Chris Blackwell's Island record label (and its subsidiary, Mango). Traveling through the networks of the contemporary Haitian Diaspora, the band sang of the Afro-Creole history of Haiti. They crafted a religious message and a politics of a creole past even as they leaned into a globalizing future, heaving their Dahomean-derived drums through airport metal detectors together with digital music players slung from their back pockets. Music makes a place where my husband can live his body. Now that we have moved to a university town Connecticut, my husband has become adept at streaming live Haitian radio broadcasts over the Internet and through the many speakers our house. He pumps up the volume just like the old sound check days, playing his favorite style, konpa. Our daily activities New England are punctuated by the lively advertising jingles and the radio news Port-au-Prince. In these moments the soundtrack of our lives echoes the soundscape of a household Haiti (when there is electricity there, that is). Living away from his extended family and friends, outside his country and culture, my partner tells our children that he came to the U.S. too late, when he was too old to be remade here. Yet when we return to Haiti, he is clearly marked as a partial outsider, a dyaspora, by his clothing, his physical fitness, and an Americanness readable other subtle ways. He has become like many transmigrants who are no longer quite fully at home anywhere. For him, I think, Haitian music and radio ads move him to a psychic space closer to home. In fact, for my husband, music itself is a kind of home and hearing it makes him feel he is in his skin (see Ramnarine 2007). When the devastating earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, he lived an in-between netherworld, playing the only radio station still on the air, Signal FM. We listened to the litany of the dead, the on-air discussions and the slow dirges on Haitian radio, with the television turned soundlessly to CNN (see also McAlister 2012a). But the konpa music changes its tune when my husband's brother visits. Frey Guy is konveti (converted), an evangelical who frowns on mainstream konpa because it encourages hip rolling, couples dancing, and impure thoughts. Guy brings audiocassettes, CDs, videos, and DVDs of evangelical konpa, Haitian gospel, Haitian church services, and Haitian evangelical TV shows. The weekend after the quake, Guy and his family came from Boston to wait for news at our house. The scripture of the day on their favorite Web site was about earthquakes, all part of God's mysterious plan. Visiting with Guy, we are invited to feel at home a different diaspora, or more properly phrased, a global movement. Through witnessing and through music, Guy works to convince us that we belong to the one and only Kingdom of God. …

당뇨환자의 당뇨양말 디자인요소 선호도와 요구성능

Diabetics often suffer from the complications of foot disease. Foot discomfort results from poor blood circulation. Thus, diabetics should wear socks that do not constrict the blood flow in the feet and legs. This study examines the design factors and performance requirements of socks for diabetics. We apply the results to the development of socks for diabetic. The participants in this study were 112 diabetic patients who had visited a hospital in Busan. We conducted statistical tests that included t-tests and chi-squared tests. The results depended on age and gender. Male and female patients did not differ from each other in the most favorite style; however, their second favorite style was different. The second most preferred style for male patients was calf-length socks, while the second most preferred style for female patients were ankle-length socks. Male patients preferred black or gray socks, while female patients preferred white socks. Socks for diabetics should be machine washable, easy to remove, non-slip, lightweight, comfortable, deodorized, and antibacterial.

PROC REPORT IN STYLE

I would like to demonstrate how you can create colorful PDF files using ODS (Output Delivery System) with different predefined style templates for the layout and color scheme of both tables and graphs. There are a few different ways you can customize your reports in the Report Procedure. Traffic lighting is a very popular technique and can be achieved by changing the font and/or the background colors. I prefer to customize my reports by adding background color to highlight a row, column, and/or cell in a table. I will share my favorite styles and show you how to look at your tables in the different styles available. I will briefly explain how you can create your own style by changing the color scheme of an existing style so that it can be used for all of your reports. I will explain how I used the pieces of code to get the table with a row, a column and individual cells highlighted with several different colors. I will focus on creating PDF files using ODS, but these methods can be used with other output destinations. This paper is for beginner to intermediate level SAS® programmers with experience creating tables with Report procedure.

Learning Styles of ESL Students in Community Colleges

This study investigated the learning styles of adult English as a second language (ESL) students in Northwest Arkansas. Learning style differences by age, gender, and country of origin were explored. A total of 69 northwest Arkansas adult ESL students attending 7 adult-education centers were administered the VARK Learning Styles Questionnaire. Most participants came from Mexico and El Salvador, their ages ranged from 23 to 45, and females were an average of 10 years older than males. Note taking was chosen by 1/3 of participants as their favorite learning style, 20% favored aural modes, 15% favored kinesthetic, 4% favored visual, and 15% chose combinations of learning styles. Females chose auditory and multimodal learning styles, while males favored note taking. Students differed by level of English proficiency, beginning-intermediate favoring aural learning styles more than advanced students. ANOVA results indicated that participants were significantly less visual and more read-write than either aural or kinesthetic, but males and females differed significantly in their choice of aural learning. Hispanic males chose note taking and kinesthetic learning styles significantly more than visual or auditory modes of learning. Hispanic females chose note taking, aural, and kinesthetic learning styles significantly more than visual. Asian males favored note taking and aural learning. Correlation was found between age and learning styles with subgroups exhibiting a negative correlation between age and kinesthetic learning, with Mexican males and females exhibiting the strongest negative correlation. Males showed a low positive correlation between age and note taking.
