The Influence of Social Media for the Development of Da’wah and Nahdlatul Ulama Society Behavior

The development of information technology is felt so rapidly. All fields have used information technology; both in medicine and exact science, and even now the religious field has used it. One of the advantages of information technology in the field of religion is the emergence of sites that contain da'wah or religious promotions. This is far different from the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW when delivering da'wah for the first time. He delivered da’wah stealthily and took very long time, but the existence of social media turned into open and transparent media and saved time and energy. In addition, social media can also be used as a means to change the behavior and lifestyle of society, one of which is the nature of dependence on social media, and fashion changes very quickly.

Health Lecturers and Students Views’ about Healthcare Workers’ as Healthy Lifestye Role Models: a Qualitative Study

Background : Health education institutions as producers of healthcare workers have a duty to demonstrate healthy lifestyles to the students as the future healthy role models. Objective : This research aimed to describe the views of health lecturers and students about their role and the effect of healthcare workers’ behavior as healthy lifestye role models. Method : An exploratory qualitative study with in-depth interviews was conducted in 2017. Six lecturers and five studentss were chosen as key informants, who were selected from the medicine, nursing, and health nutrition departments. We analyzed the data manually, by identifying categories then created into themes. Result : Healthcare workers were judged as a representative figure to demonstrate healthy lifestyles. Unhealthy lifestyle practice by healthcare workers was considered a violation of their responsibility. Furthermore, it will decrease the image and respect of healthcare workers which will cause people to trust less in the treatment process and health counseling, and finally, the society will imitate unhealthy lifestyles. Furthermore, in medical education, this influences lecturers’ self-efficacy in health counseling, causing guilty feelings and shame for not implementing a healthy lifestyle although they had already learned health science. Moreover, the students sometimes feel sadness and disappointment, since not all lecturers can become healthy lifestyle role models. Conclusion: Healthcare workers are role models of healthy lifestyles in society and expected to be in any setting. Therefore, they should appropriately respond to becoming someone who qualifies to be imitated and be a good example of a healthy lifestyle in society.

ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПОВЕДІНКИ СПОЖИВАЧІВ НА ВІТЧИЗНЯНОМУ РИНКУ ОРГАНІЧНОЇ ПРОДУКЦІЇ

Introduction. Consumers around the world are increasingly interested in how organic food is produced, how to improve their diet so that it is healthy, and how to reduce the impact of intensive agricultural production on the environment. At the present stage of development, organic agriculture has fully proven its ability not only to ensure sufficient production of environmentally friendly products, but also to promote the restoration and conservation of natural resources. Purpose. The purpose of the scientific article is to define the main characteristics of consumer behavior of organic products based on the results of marketing research; assessment of the reasons for the change in consumer loyalty to domestic organic products; formation of recommendations for the promotion of organics in Ukraine. Results. The relevance of this problem necessitated a marketing research by compiling questionnaires and conducting a survey among organic consumers in the Kiev region. The sample was 276 respondents. This study led to the conclusion that the level of consumer awareness of the features of labeling of organic products remains low, despite the popularization of a healthy lifestyle and nutrition in modern society. As a result of the analysis, it was found that currently organic production in the region is promising, given the growing interest from consumers. However, the key problems in the development of the market for organic products remain: a low level of awareness of target consumers, lack of guarantees of high quality organic food, and their misconception at points of sale. The search for ways to solve these problems determines the prospects for further scientific research. Originality. In the process of writing a scientific article, the following research methods were used: comparative and abstract-logical analysis - to formulate the theoretical and methodological foundations of the problem of scientific research, to formulate conclusions and prospects for further research; as well as sociological analysis - to conduct a survey, using pre-designed questionnaires on the behavior of consumers of organic agricultural products in the selected region. Conclusion. As a result of assessing the position of the population of Kyiv region on the situation of production and consumption of organic products in Ukraine, the insufficient level of public awareness and promotion of organic matter was determined. The level of consumer confidence in organic producers also remains low: 47.3% of respondents said they trust, but another 47.3% expressed distrust. Respondents were also willing to pay a higher price for certified organics. The marketing research identified priority types of organic matter: 65.3% of respondents want to buy all organic products, while 9.3% preferred meat and dairy products, 6.7% - fruits, 8% - vegetables, and 1.3% answered that they have their own organics. It is established that the demand for this product largely depends on the age group of the consumer, his marital status, the presence of children, average monthly income and the level of culture of consumption. A number of measures to increase consumer loyalty are proposed and the main factors influencing the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and consumption of organic matter in Ukraine are identified.

LINGUOSTYLISTIC MEANS OF REALIZING THE DISCOURSE CHARACTERISTICS OF GERMAN ADVERTISING

This article deals with the study of German advertising text and discourse. Advertising as an important type of mass communication quickly entered the life of modern man. Advertising text, based on the use of expressive possibilities of language means at all levels, has a significant impact on the observance of various stereotypes and lifestyles of modern society. The social significance of advertising has become an important element of social life and has emerged into a number of the most important types of mass communication, the essential linguistic processes that occur in it have become the object of attention of linguistics, cognitive science, and sociolinguistics. Linguostylistic, linguopragmatic, linguocognitive and synergetic aspects of this type of discourse in their unity favour the systematic linguistic description of advertising phenomenon which plays a significant role in modern German world image.Stylistic embodiment of advertising is coordinated with cognitive and pragmatic aspects and plays text- and discourseorganizing role. Stylistic means provide interaction of the subject-logical content of the message. From the stylistic point of view, advertising actively uses the methods of allusion, understatement, contrast, accent. In German advertising, stylistic types of nomination and stylistic figures are used - substitution figures, combination figures. The plasticity of the advertising text is due to its pragmatic orientation, commercial purpose. The selection of language means, especially lexical, depends on it. Modern advertising can work if it is built from the familiar elements of the precedent text. Advertising affects the addressee, and the realization of this impact occurs through the use of professional and corporate vocabulary. The advertising text reproduces its version of the world, which does not repeat the characteristics of the real world, but strengthens them.

The rehabilitation of buildings. Reflections on construction systems for the environmental sustainability of interventions

<p>The old age and the poor state of repair of the Italian building heritage and the change in the needs and lifestyle of modern society require re-qualitative interventions of building rehabilitation. These operations are environmentally sustainable, favouring the protection of the soil, allowing the grey energy of the materials that make up the building to be depreciated over a greater number of years and which will have sufficient residual performance, also thanks to integration with other components.</p><p>In order to safeguard the intrinsic sustainability of the rehabilitation of the building, it is necessary to act in the intervention taking into account its sustainability, considering the life cycle of both the building as a whole together with its specific redevelopment project. Sustainability in the management phase is conditioned by energy efficiency; in the construction and demolition phases, however, it is conditioned both by the construction techniques and the connection methods between the different elements of the construction system, and above all by the choice of its components and materials that make it up. The paper presents as an international best practice a dry construction system made with recycled elements derived from scaffolding and a wet construction system consisting of components in lime and hemp.</p>

Social practices of the «high society» lifestyle in the work of O. Makovei «Biography of Osyp Yurii Fedkovych-Hordynskyi»

The work of O.Makovei «Biography of Osyp Yurii Fedkovych-Hordynskyi» is analyzed in the article. The goal of the article is to find in the text representations of social practices, which were peculiar for the high society lifestyle in the medium of the educated middle class – intelligentsia – in the Duchy of Bukovyna throughout the 19th.century. In the discourse of the author’s biographical work and in used memories of Fedkovych’ contemporaries it is stressed that noble standards of living were the ideal of the social life in Bykovyna and Chernivtsi, herewith negative connotations were present in such statements.
 The lifestyle of Y.Fedkovych’s parents suited this definition, while the poet in his conscious age tried to oppose to such a lifestyle. That is why his behavior in front of the audience was characterized by displays of protest against following elite standards of living in the society. Probably, his demonstrational wearing of rustic (Hutsul) clothing was also connected with his goal.
 Despite the fact that his participation in social practices of the high society lifestyle allowed Fedkovych to gain support of his writing talent in the 1860s, in the 1870-1880ss he was demonstratively violating accepted behavioral norms, which were generalized as the rules of common courtesy. Furthermore, he tried to stress that he is equal with villagers, he called himself Hutsul. But O.Makovei found out that Hutsuls still considered Fedkovych to be a stranger – «lord in disguise», «German».
 While analyzing life and works of Y. Fedkovych, O.Makovei described poet’s social surrounding – intelligentsia- and its peculiar social practices such as following the common courtesy rules in self-representation (manners, clothes, communication), different types of intelligentsia leisure (clubs, salons parties, theatre) and cooperation.
 Keywords: social practices, life style of the high society, Y.Fedkovych, O. Makovei, intelligentsia, middle class, Bukovyna, Chernivtsi.

Melatonin alleviates circadian system disruption induced by chronic shifts of the light-dark cycle in Octodon degus.

Modern 24‐h society lifestyle is associated with experiencing frequent shifts in the lighting conditions which can negatively impact human health. Here, we use the degus, a species exhibiting diurnal and nocturnal chronotypes, to: (a) assess the impact of chronic shifts of the light:dark (LD) cycle in the animal's physiology and behaviour and (b) test the therapeutic potential of melatonin in enhancing rhythmicity under these conditions. Degus were subjected to a “5d + 2d” LD‐shifting schedule for 19 weeks. This protocol aims to mimic lighting conditions experienced by humans during shift work: LD cycle was weekly delayed by 8h during 5 “working” days (Morning, Afternoon and Night schedule); during weekends (2 days), animals were kept under Morning schedule. After 9 weeks, melatonin was provided daily for 6h in the drinking water. The “5d + 2d” shifting LD schedule led to a disruption in wheel‐running activity (WRA) and body temperature (Tb) rhythms which manifested up to three separate periods in the circadian range. This chronodisruption was more evident in nocturnal than in diurnal degus, particularly during the Afternoon schedule when a phase misalignment between WRA and Tb rhythms appeared. Melatonin treatment and, to a lesser extent, water restriction enhanced the 24‐h component, suggesting a potential role in ameliorating the disruptive effects of shift work.

Students’ views on the purpose of physical education in upper secondary school. Physical education as a break in everyday school life – learning or just fun?

ABSTRACTPrevious research shows that students have a widespread understanding about the purpose of physical education (PE), including learning about movement, health and also PE as a break from other school subjects. The present study aims at examining more closely the break perspective in light of interview data from 26 students, whose statements in interviews that focused on PE in upper secondary school in Norway, reveal that the view of PE as a break from other school lessons is also a valid understanding among students when they are approaching the end of PE in their schooling. We have asked what kind of learning the students’ views on PE as a break from other school subject are, or may be, in light of the Norwegian curriculum in PE in upper secondary school and to changes in the 2012 curriculum, which aimed to reduce performance stress and too much hunt for good grades. We present two interpretations of the interview texts – PE as ‘the movement moment’ in everyday school life, and participating in fun activities together with good friends, and a third interpretation, which we describe as a relatively invisible view of knowledge goals among the students about training and lifestyle and critical awareness about sport cultures in the society. We argue that a view of PE as ‘a movement moment’ in everyday school life contributes to modifying the view on PE as a break from other school subjects and to seeing it as a relevant learning perspective. On the other hand, a modified break perspective should be merged with knowledge and critical lenses on training, health, lifestyle and sport cultures in society, so that the students’ views on the purpose of PE all in all contain important knowledge and reflections they should have, according to the Norwegian curriculum in PE.
