Framework for BIM-Based Repair History Management for Architectural Heritage

This research addresses the challenges faced in collecting and managing repair history information for architectural heritage due to its distribution among different institutions. To overcome this problem, this study proposes a building information modeling (BIM)-based repair history management framework that links non-formal repair details of architectural heritage to BIM. This framework was applied to the case study of the Great Hero Hall of Sudeoksa Temple in Yesan, South Korea. A repair history database in the form of structured data adhering to the historic building information modeling standard was utilized. The proposed framework effectively syncs the repair history database with BIM to preserve architectural heritage and streamline repair history information updates as well as management. Integrated heritage BIM is anticipated to furnish a thorough knowledge base for architectural heritage, comprising non-geometric details and formal information models, thus enhancing building maintenance planning. Ultimately, the benefits and limitations of the suggested framework and methodologies are deliberated for further implementation.

Некоторые аспекты военно-патриотического воспитания

The substantive role of batyrs in the education of national patriotism is considered. Horse riding, fights, conquests, love for military affairs developed a special «institute of batyrs», which solved almost all the most complex problems that arose in traditional Turkic-Kazakh society. Military history played an important role in the process of educating young soldiers. The moral and ethical norms that have developed in nomadic society give full reason to believe that the institution of great heroes served as the main source of inspiration for young people and performed an important function of patriotic education. Military-patriotic education is one of the important factors in ensuring military security, especially in the context of the changes that are taking place in the modern world. In all universities where there are military departments, it is necessary to introduce the subject of «Military History». Students studying at military departments should know the theory and practice in the construction of the Armed Forces, the theoretical foundations of military affairs and military art, learn to think about the military and get educated in the spirit of respect and friendship of peoples. The outward-political situation in the world requires enormous responsibility for strengthening the country's defense capability. The study of military history, national spiritual and moral values accumulated from the ancient period, a prerequisite among other areas in the military-patriotic education of students of Higher Educational Institutions. The huge role of the military history of the Kazakhs is revealed, where honor and dignity were the main factor in the development of the civilian position of the younger generation

Metamorphosis as the Crux of the Character Vandiya Devan in Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan

Human life is inherently compared. Man compares his life to other people’s lives. He has the intrinsic moral ability to balance the evil and good thoughts that bubble up from the depths of his mind. This is how literature and art have developed throughout all cultures. They have all been created in a comparative way. Literature has been a tool for teaching people about life and how it should and should not be. Images, symbols, and recurring themes from everyday life are used to illustrate the concepts. We refer to them as archetypes. They are the archaic pictures from global mythology that predominate in everyone’s minds. The journey of the hero is one such motif that has been predominating in the literary genre. This style totally maintains the hero’s quest as its foundation. They are fiercely patriotic toward their respective national identities. The great heroes of any nation are represented by their characters. Characters from the film “Ponniyin Selvan” such Aditya Karikalan, Arulmozhi Varman, and Vanthiyathevan are well-known for their quests, adventures, feuds, fights, and wars. Their quest and triumph serve as ideal illustrations of the hero archetype’s journey. In Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan, the transformation of the character Vanthiya Devan is extra ordinary. Thus, the present paper explores Vanthiya Devan’s transformation and achievements in the novel and film.

Thomas Butler, Earl of Ossory, 1634-80: A Privileged Witness, by Daniel D. Jordan

The news of the untimely death of the 46-year-old Thomas Butler, earl of Ossory, left bereft King Charles II and Queen Catherine, who ‘hath wept often’. The future kings James II and William III of Orange, whose marriages Ossory had witnessed, were also devastated by his passing. On 30 July 1680 a ‘malignant fever’ had struck down Ossory, the subject of this carefully crafted, meticulously researched and well-written political biography. Ossory’s death in the prime of his life elicited at least ten separate elegies. A number circulated as anonymous one-page broadsheets and urged their English and Irish readers not simply to admire Ossory but to model their lives on his. Others were by distinguished poets. John Dryden’s famous satire, Absalom and Achitophel, included a tender tribute to Ossory. In it, Dryden linked the names of Ossory and his father James Butler, duke of Ormond, in perpetuity and celebrated the antiquity and nobility of the Ormond line and its sustained fidelity to the Stuart cause (‘Barzillai crown’d with Honour and with Years’). This huge public display of grief was unusual even if England clearly craved a great hero.

Out of place, out of time: Gaddafi and the Palestinian resistance in the 1970s

ABSTRACT In this article, I look at the nature and significance of Mu’ammar al-Gaddafi’s support to the Palestinian Resistance in his early years of power (roughly 1969–1980) and connect it to the broader anti-colonial, anti-imperial message that was an important part of his early years. My intention is neither to portray Gaddafi as a great hero nor emphasize his eccentricities to the point of obscuring all other aspects of his political persona. Rather, it is to provide balance to a discussion of a figure whose political ideas are often portrayed as being rooted merely in impulse and egoism. This latter portrayal was pushed by Western powers, providing them with justification for their at-times reckless approach towards Libya and its leader who posed a threat to the West’s interests. Ironically, the cartoon-like portrayals of Gaddafi that Western governments perpetuated demonstrate a point that Gaddafi tried to make, that representative rather than direct democracy was a problematic form of governance, causing those in charge to impose their will on the people. Arab leaders also disliked Gaddafi, in part due to their shift from Arab unity towards economic privatization; with such a shift came a certain complacency towards imperialism, colonialism, and Palestinian resistance.

Трансформація античного міфу у романі Маргарет Етвуд «Пенелопіада»

This article discusses the work of Margaret Atwood, one of Canada's most prominent contemporary writers, with a particular focus on her exploration of the female theme in her literature. Atwood is known for her interest in issues related to women's self-identification, their presence in society and culture, their priorities, desires, and claims, with a central theme being the secondary status of women compared to men. The article delves into Atwood's novel "The Penelopiad," published in 2005, which reimagines and transforms the ancient myth of Penelope and Odysseus in a new narrative context. It explores how Atwood uses the ancient myth, expanding and altering its content and meaning, to create a qualitatively new female version of well-known events, distinct from the canonical male culture represented by Homer. The novel "The Penelopiad" places the female character, Penelope, at its center. In European culture, Penelope has traditionally been perceived as the faithful wife of a great hero, as clever as her husband. This tradition of defining Penelope through her connection to Odysseus dates back to antiquity. However, Margaret Atwood challenges this tradition by giving Penelope her voice. The author offers readers a unique opportunity to hear Penelope's story "from the horse's mouth," a narrative told with irony that demythologizes the image of the great wanderer. The novel begins with a somewhat ironic tone, drawing readers into a deep monologue with the main character. Notably, the style of the narrative is sarcastically simple and primitive, emphasizing the significant contrast with the original myth of Odysseus, which is filled with complex language, numerous epithets, and comparisons. The use of parody, a humorous genre, gives the narrative its own plot, composition, imagery, and stylistic features. The title of the novel, "The Penelopiad," itself highlights the contrast with Homer's "The Odyssey." By replacing the male name of the great hero with Penelope's female name, Atwood brings the wife of the hero to the forefront of the story. This powerful feminist technique places Penelope on an equal footing with Odysseus, and both stories are intertwined to the point that it becomes impossible to determine which one holds more significance. In contrast to "The Odyssey," "The Penelopiad" should have been a story of a woman's journey. However, such a story would hardly have been possible in a patriarchal society where a woman's place has always been in the household, beside her children and husband, engaged in the mundane chores of running a household. The journey undertaken by the protagonist is symbolic, representing a journey into her own self, self-discovery, and a quest to uncover historical roots and fulfill her genuine desires. Atwood reinterprets the trivial stories about Penelope in a feminist context, portraying them as an attempt by a patriarchal society to belittle women and absolve the truly guilty men. Overall, the article provides an insightful analysis of Margaret Atwood's use of mythology and feminist perspectives in her novel "The Penelopiad." Atwood's work challenges traditional narratives and offers a fresh interpretation of well-known stories from a female point of view, shedding light on the complexities of gender dynamics and power structures in literature and society. Key words: Margaret Atwood, Penelopiad, ancient Greek myth, transformation, history, feminism

Cerita Rakyat “Saliwu, Pahlawan Suku Padoe”

This study aims to research Luwu's oral literary work on the character of the story based on the Levi-Strauss analysis model. "Saliwu, Pahlawan Suku Padoe" is one of the literary works of the Luwu community which is full of values and concepts of life, delivered orally, and passed down from generation to generation to speakers. This story tells about a great king's who struggle with high self-esteem against the oppression of other ethnic group who wished to dominate and colonize their region. In addition, the story can be a source of advice and learning for posterity for the provision of the coming day so that it does not get lost. This story also intends to introduce a character who is described as a great hero and highly respected. He is willing to be held captive and die in exile rather than betraying his people who uphold custom. The theory used is Levi-Strauss with descriptive analysis method. The results found indicate that there is structured relationship between elements in the story and social conditions in the community.

TROJAN HORSE OF THE GREEK GOLDSMITHS

The paper analyzes the images on the gold gorytos covers of the second half of the 4th century BC (fig. 1). These items were found in the Chertomlyk kurgan (now the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine), the Melitopol kurgan (now the Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine), the kurgan near the town of Ilyintssi (now Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine) and the kurgan 8 from group of Piat’ bratiev (Five Brothers) near the stanitsa Elizavetinskaya (now the Rostov Oblast, Russia).
 All gorytos covers are of the same size. They were made using a bronze matrix (or a set of matrices) at the same time and in the same workshop.
 Most modern researchers accept the interpretation of the central images on the gorytos covers as the scenes from the life of Achilles, the hero of the Greek epic, who was revered by Greeks as divine protector. K. Robert proposed this interpretation in 1891. B. V. Farmakov­sky singled out five scenes from the life of Achilles which sequentially represent the Hero from his childhood to the death (fig. 2: 1).
 In this paper the author identifies nine scenes (fig. 2: 2). Upper frieze: 1) a young man (possibly Apollo) teaches the boy Achilles archery; Thetis stands side by side, she worries about the fate of her son Achilles (fig. 3: 3); 2) Achilles says his mother Thetis goodbye before leaving to the island of Skyros; 3) Odysseus finds Achilles on the island of Skyros; 4) Deidamia, the wife of Achilles, runs away in despair; 5) Peleus hands over his weapon to his son Achilles.
 Lower frieze: 6) Briseis regrets her fate as a slave (fig. 3: 1—2); 7) Zeus establishes the events in the fates of the heroes (fig. 3: 4); 8) Achilles accepts the gifts from Agamemnon and makes peace with him, a wounded Odysseus is standing beside him; 9) Thetis carries the bag with ashes of Achilles and mourns his death (fig. 3: 5). All scenes tell about the events that preceded the manifestation of Achilles as a great warrior and hero: the beginning of warfare training, the events on the eve of the beginning of the Trojan War, the events at the walls of Troy and the quarrel with Agamemnon. Perhaps these images are associated with the magic of knowledge about the beginning, about the origin. In this case, this is knowledge about the origin of Achilles as a hero. Such magical knowledge made it possible to wield the power of the Protector Hero and direct it to the right direction like a prayer or a spell.
 Gorytos was the Scythian weapon. This gorytos series was made in some workshop of a Greek city-state, possibly in the Bosporus kingdom. They were donated to the Scythian rulers with a secret purpose: with the help of magical images to restrain the warlike moods of the Scythians, to pacify them. Therefore, these gorytos were like a wooden horse which, according to the Greek epic, the Achaean warriors left as the so-called gift of Troy and with its help captured this impregnable city.

Is Superman Circumcised? The Complete Jewish History of the World's Greatest Hero by Roy Schwartz

Reviewed by: Is Superman Circumcised? The Complete Jewish History of the World's Greatest Hero by Roy Schwartz Matthew Brake (bio) Roy Schwartz, Is Superman Circumcised? The Complete Jewish History of the World's Greatest Hero. McFarland, 2021. x + 364 pp, $45.00. In Is Superman Circumcised? The Complete Jewish History of the World's Greatest Hero, Roy Schwartz sets out to demonstrate that despite the many Christian allegories portraying Superman as a Christ figure (made popular by the 1978 Superman movie), Superman is actually a Jewish character. Schwartz's work joins a growing body of scholarship dedicated to parsing out the Jewishness of the Man of Steel. Schwartz himself makes note of works like Danny Fingeroth's Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero (2007). While Schwartz does not mention it, one could suggest Martin Lund's 2016 book, Re-Constructing the Man of Steel: Superman 1938–1941, Jewish American History, and the Invention of the Jewish-Comics Connection, another text that examines Superman's supposed Jewishness (with a more critical eye toward the question). Schwartz offers three ways that his book uniquely contributes to this growing body of literature: "it examines the entirety of Superman's career, from 1938 to date, whereas others have limited themselves to his formative 'Golden Age,' ending around 1945, with a few ventures up to 1960. It also explores more deeply the Jewish parallels, including their theological, folkloric, historical and sociological meaning. And it's the first to focus exclusively on Superman" (5). One of the best ways to evaluate this book is to judge it by the criteria Schwartz lays out here. Starting with Schwartz's first point, the book is impressive in its breadth of material. Schwartz guides readers through Superman's origins and the early concepts from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster that eventually led to Superman's debut in Action Comics #1. From there, he doesn't stop until events from Brian Michael Bendis's recent run on the character, including when Superman reveals his identity to the world. Schwartz also references the recent CW television show Superman & Lois, which debuted in 2020. In between, he discusses Superman's depiction in various comic book publishing "ages" (i.e., the Golden Age, the Silver Age, etc.) as well as the various serials, television shows, movies, and other transmedia adaptations of the character. While a book like this will end up leaving some things out, Schwartz follows through [End Page 89] on his promise to explore the entirety of Superman's existence, from the early ideas leading to his creation to works that have appeared within the last two years, all the while attempting to highlight the Jewishness of the character. I will address the exploration of Jewish parallels last, but to Schwartz's claim that this book is the first to focus exclusively on Superman, that's not quite accurate. Lund's (previously mentioned) text predates Schwartz's by five years, although Lund's does confine itself to Superman's early years. Also, Schwartz's book does focus on Superman overall, although at times in deviates into a discussion, more broadly, on the history of comics in general and on Jewish contributions to the creation and growth of the industry specifically. This is fine, and is done to provide context for the claim of Superman's Jewishness, but there are places where the text veers off course into one of these other directions so that Schwartz needs to throw in a sentence to remind us that the book is about Superman's Jewishness. I direct a majority of my critiques to Schwartz's claim that the book more deeply explores Superman's Jewish parallels than many other texts. To this point, Schwartz does need to be commended for the breadth of material he has assembled in this text. It is an interesting survey of comics history as well as the Jewish presence in the comic book industry throughout this history. Many scholars studying the history of the Man of Steel may also appreciate this text as a resource to find primary and secondary sources for their own research. There are places where Schwartz makes the...

Unleading during a pandemic: Scrutinising leadership and its impact in a state of exception.

Characterising COVID-19 pandemic as a ‘state of exception’, we might expect great hero models of leadership to come to the fore. Instead, drawing on a thematic analysis of 246 news articles, this paper illustrates something different: communities, companies, individuals picked-up the leadership mantle but were reluctant to frame their practices under a leadership rhetoric. The paper explores spontaneous initiatives and leaderly actions that were made visible during the pandemic and proposes practice-based implications for redrawing leadership conceptualisations. These practices, coined as unleading, are characterised under four dimensions: unconditionality and social intention; purposeful action in the absence of an achievement motivation; sensing and attending to local conditions; and confident connecting and collaborating. The analysis and discussion of the four dimensions affirm that while leading and unleading are always present when organising, they are more or less visible and practiced depending on organisational, social and individual circumstances. The paper concludes by surfacing questions and reflections for the future of unleading and implications for leadership theorising and practice.

An Exploration of Karna’s Last Days through the Prism of Aristotle's Hamartia

Purpose: The Mahabharata by Vyasa and the Iliad by Homer both have a surfeit of Heroes. The two great heroes are Karna from the Mahabharata and Achilles from the Iliad. They have a few things in common as their lives are heavily influenced by fate. As fate is inescapable, they confronted their death head-on. The figures of Karna and Achilles stand out dramatically in both Indian and Greek mythology respectively casting everyone else in the gloom, thus making both the masterpieces incomplete without these heroes. Though these spartan heroes were invincible due to their origin, they lay their lives in Kurukshetra and Trojan wars respectively. They decided to be glorious despite knowing the fact that they would die in the battle. Few characters in the ancient literature have been drawn with such perfect skill and insight into human nature as Maharathi Karna, a character who has never been truly understood, has been continually misinterpreted despite the completeness, candor, and clarity of the amazing Epic in providing us with specifics of his existence. The most important aspect of his life narrative which is often overlooked or glossed over by modern writers which has far-reaching implications is that Karna was born out of wedlock and so cast away at birth. His adroitness and the values he lived and loved for standing him in good stead for a hero. Design / Methodology/Approach: The paper is prepared by accumulating secondary data from educational websites and written articles. The study shall be carried out with the use of Research Journals, Scholarly Books, Doctoral Theses, and websites. This qualitative research is carried out by studying and interpreting the existing knowledge on the subject using the keywords “Karna”, “Epic”, “Tragic flaw”, “Battle”, “Loyalty” which are accessible in online articles, peer-reviewed journals, publications and a variety of related portals. Findings/Result: Karna's entire life was spent trying to figure out who he was and to find an answer to the same. Karna's life also shows us how life is full of unrelenting choices; the options being limited. Friendship with someone who has aided at times of need and to whom one has sworn lifelong loyalty and friendship is admirable, but there must be a fine line drawn between this duty and other, more important responsibilities. Karna is, without a doubt, a figure who, in Aristotelian terminology, possesses the classical features of a tragic hero, as well as a figure with a great deal of literary potential. Originality/Value: This paper attempts to make a sincere study of Karna as a tragic hero under classical examples of Aristotle's ‘Hamartia’ where a hero wants to ‘Triumph’ but while doing so he commits an intentional error and ends up achieving exactly the opposite with disastrous results. The story of the life of Karna is pre-eminently great nevertheless fate and destiny played an unwarranted and calamitous game facilitating the reader of the Epic to identify himself or herself with the Tragic Hero. Paper Type: Exploratory research paper.

Hero Meets Penelope, Leander Meets Odysseus: The Intratextual Dialogue between Ov.Her. 1 andHer. 18–19

AbstractIn this paper, I investigate the relationship between Penelope's letter to Odysseus (Her. 1) and the letters of Leander and Hero (Her. 18–19), especially Hero's letter to Leander (Her. 19). The peculiarity of this comparative approach lies mainly in the fact that whereas Penelope and Odysseus were one of the most famous couples in ancient literature and the protagonists of a great epic, the Odyssey, Leander and Hero were considerably less known in Rome during Ovid's time. To prove the close relationship between the letters of Penelope, Leander, and Hero, I present their numerous similarities, and then I suggest the reasons why Ovid took pains to compose the letters of Leander and Hero in a way so closely reminiscent of Penelope's letter to Odysseus.

Polsko-litewskie dziedzictwo kulturowe – różnice w świadomości społecznej. Perspektywy zbliżenia dzięki wspólnym bohaterom narodowym na przykładzie Michała Kleofasa Ogińskiego

The uncomfortable situation of Poles in Lithuania is, among other things, the effect of Lithuanian historical education. Excerpts from the textbook on the history of Lithuania show diametrical differences in contemporary ideas about the past of both nations. Shared heroes are useful to overcome prejudices of the previous century (which affect the image of 1385-1795). One of them is Michał Kleofas Ogiński, Lithuanian nobleman, a political activist during the last years of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and two decades after its collapse. He has the rank of a great national hero in Lithuania and Belarus but is valued in Poland above all because of his piano compositions. The analysis of fragments of his work Memoirs about Poland and Poles helps us to regard a representative of the noble nation from a different perspective. It makes us aware of the cohesion of Polish and Lithuanian national identity at the turn of the 19th century, helps us to appreciate the heritage of the past and offers a chance to build positive relations between us. Rectifying a distorted vision of history is a prospect for a mature partnership now and in the future.

AMLO’s Mexican Time (Business Is Good!)

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has promoted himself as a historical figure equal to the great heroes of Mexico’s national mythology. His populist rhetoric denigrates political opponents as enemies of the people. But more than two years into his term, his promises of economic growth have failed to materialize, partly because of his attachment to austerity.

Why Would the Skalds Not Have Lied about the Rulers’ Expeditions and Battles? Some Remarks on a Relic of Medieval Attitude toward Sources in Modern Medieval Studies

The article presents a critique of a research method whereby historical sources could not have possibly lied as they were targeted at the addressees who knew the actual course of the events described or referred to. This attitude toward the sources has its antecedence in Snorri Sturluson’s argument on the reliability of skaldic poetry. To his mind, the poems were biased but still valuable, in a way, as they were declaimed before the rulers who would have perceived an untrue account “as a mockery, rather than a praise”. The question arises, what kind of a situation Snorri tried to preclude: one where a mean warrior would have been shown as a great hero? Or, perhaps, one where a defector would have been portrayed as a warrior bravely marching in the first rank? The story of Giffard from the Morkinskinna saga seems to offer the answer. Giffard fled from the battlefield but had a praise poem dedicated to him, which the (real) character aptly deciphered as derision aimed at him.

BUZAUL IN THE TIME OF TUDOR VLADIMIRESCU – GHEORGHILAŞ PANDUR, THE OUTLAW FROM THE CURVE OF THE CARPATHIANS

Through his activity, Tudor Vladimirescu left a strong impression on his contemporaries from Buzau and their descendants. Because they were at the crossroads connecting Muntenia, Moldova, Transylvania and Dobrogea, the people of Buzau suffered deeply from the chaotic confrontations between Arnauts, Etherists and Turks. However, aware of the importance of the ideas promoted by Theodor from Vladimiri, beyond the immediate failure of these principles, the inhabitants of Buzău honored the great hero, attributing his name to schools and boulevards, mentioning him in official historical speeches and popular ballads. Pandurul Gheorghilaş, who became an outlaw, continued the spirit of actions covered by the need for justice and fairness of Tudor Vladimirescu's social program, in the mountain area of Buzău county.
