A Virtual Resource for Enhancing the Spatial Comprehension of Crystal Lattices

Students commonly exhibit serious spatial comprehension difficulties when they come to learning crystal systems. To solve this problem, an active methodology based on the use of a Didactic Virtual Tool (DVT)—developed by the authors—is presented in this paper. The students’ opinion was obtained from a survey carried out on 40 mechanical engineering students. The analysis of the obtained results reveals that, by using this DVT, students achieve a better understanding of the contents where spatial difficulties often arise during conventional teaching. Several DVT features were highly valued by the students, e.g., didactic use was rated 9.5 out of 10 and the methodology using the DVT in the classroom was rated 8.5 out of 10. In addition, the results revealed two factors that the students considered essential for using a DVT, both related to the tool design: (i) the modern aspect, i.e., it is necessary to keep a DVT updated to avoid obsolescence; and (ii) the DVT must be appealing in order to attract the students’ attention.

Το διδασκαλείον του Νικηφόρου Γρηγορά

This paper focuses on the foundation and function of a school-“didaskaleion” by Nikephoros Gregoras in the first half of the 14th century (ca. 1325- 1350). Information about this school is provided by Gregoras himself in his Letters, as well as in his History (“Ρωμαϊκὴ Ἱστορία”), whereas secondary data can be traced in his most prominent student’s writings, Isaak Argyros. This institution was located at the Chora Monastery, and, according to Gregoras’ words, its basic aim was to prevent the extinction of learning and to transmit all the knowledge related to “tetraktys”, and especially to astronomy. Besides the inquiry into information about the curriculum and the students of this school, the present study examines thoroughly Gregoras’ pedagogic principles and emphasizes on his rather modern aspect concerning the way he relates child development with education.

Populism as a theoretical framework: modern aspect for political system

In the article considered the common and special approach in different European countries to the definition of populism, traced the evolution of the concept from the ancient period. Thus, we can state that the concept of populism is a multifaceted political construct that performs the integrative-cognitive function of structuring and constructing a complex and controversial political reality with elements of social, discursive and praxeological eclecticism. A characteristic feature of the actualization of populism is the extreme parameters of the functioning of the state-political organism of society and the value projections of its existence. The crisis of society, which generates a conceptual platform of populism, reflects the objective need for democratization of the foundations of social order and social life. In particular, the anti-elite orientation of populism is due to the need to expand the influence of the subject field and instruments of direct democracy and direct democracy. The anthropological optimism of populism contrasts with the static-consensual metaphysics of the elitis.

ТРУД ИММИГРАНТОВ В БРАЗИЛИИ (2007-2015): ЗАКОННЫЕ И НЕЗАКОННЫЕ СХЕМЫ

This paper analyzes labor immigration to Brazil in a historical and modern aspect. The historical features of immigration processes are established, as well as the evolution of the state immigration policy in Brazil. It is established that the era of slavery played an important role in the formation of the Brazilian labor market. The importation of slaves from Africa continued even after independence was declared in 1822. The transition from slave labor to the wage labor occurred in the second half of the twentieth century. Subsequently, Brazil’s immigration policy was based on a quota system to protect the domestic labor market and reduce unemployment among the local population. At the present stage, the policy of protecting the domestic labor market of Brazil is still conducted, on the basis of a selective approach. As a basic mechanism of regulation are working visas. It is revealed that as globalization processes develop, Brazil faces new challenges, including mass flows of undocumented immigrants from the less developed countries of Latin America. The impact of the global economic crisis on migration in Brazil has been revealed.

THE EVOLUTION OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PEOPLE WITH PSYCO-PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

The latest scientific studies proved, that 18 % of men and women with disorders of musculoskeletal system and 12 % of blind believe that the main problems for disabled people is not so variety of restrictions (means of communication or movement, etc.), as much as lack of social participation, shortcomings of legal and technical nature, what in general reinforce the social inequality between people. The problem of relationship between society and individuals with disabilities has always existed. It remains highly relevant today. A retrospective approach to the study of the past experience allows us to see current issues in the process of their formation, accumulation, development, transformation and consider them according to the specific circumstances of the historical period. The purpose of the study to explore the evolutionary path of relations between society and individuals with psycho-physical disabilities Material and methods. According to the purpose we set tasks to study and analyze data from scientific sources concerning the development of relations between society and individuals with mental and physical disabilities in the historical and modern aspect. And the possibility of use of physical education in solving these problems. The purpose and tasks were implemented by methods of analysis and sharing of scientific and methodological literature and practical experience. Results. The origins of negative attitude to disability is rooted in society itself and «disability» is a social phenomenon, not a medical problem of the person. Historical analysis helps to overcome subjectivity in management activities and to define pedagogical conditions of the implementation in practice of theoretical conclusions and recommendations. Ukraine because of its geographical position absorbed both Western and Eastern culture. Thus, in the world historically formed several approaches to the formation of a model of relations between society and people with disabilities: cultural, medical, social. Conclusions. History allows us to see current issues in the process of their formation, accumulation, development, transformation. Accumulation of views (in the period of intensive development of pedagogy) about the formation of physical qualities of children with psycho-physical features has become a prerequisite for the later learning, special physical education and training for children with violations of psychophysical development in special branch of pedagogical knowledge, namely adaptive physical education.

Correlation Between Quality of Life and Depression Among Persons Suffering from Psoriasis.

Introduction:Chronic dermatitis is a major sociomedical issue still being marginalized due to generally accepted view that skin diseases are less of a health problem than is the case with diseases of other organs and organ systems for they are not life-threatening. Measurement of quality of life of persons suffering from psoriasis could become an important factor in assessing the success of treatment and modern aspect of integration of the diseased into the planning of therapeutic procedures, monitoring of their outcomes and improving the quality of treatment.Aim:To determine the quality of life and the degree of depression of persons with psoriasis, as well as to make a correlation between the two.Patients and methods:A descriptive and analytical study of cross-sectional character has been performed. The sample consisted of N = 56 respondents with medically verified diagnosis of psoriasis that was treated at the Clinic for Skin and Venereal Diseases of the Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo. Criteria for involvement of participants: respondents are to be over 18 years of age with verified medical diagnosis of psoriasis, and to voluntarily consent for inclusion in the research. The research instruments consisted of standardized questionnaires: the WHO-BREF Quality Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory.Results:Median value of scores relating to quality of life of persons with psoriasis from our sample was highest in the domain of social interaction and amounted to 72 (51.50-81.00); the domain of physical health was 63 (39.50-75.00); the psychological condition was 63 (44.00-75.00); and the environmental domain was 63 (44.00-73.50). Depression of persons with psoriasis showed correlation with domains of quality of life. The depression proved correlated with the respondents’: physical health (rho = -0.793 p = 0.0001); psychological health (rho = -0.842 p = 0.0001); social interactions (rho = -0.598 p = 0.0001); as well as with attitude towards the environment (rho = -0.709 p = 0.0001). Gender, age, education, marital or employment status did not prove statistically significant for influencing occurrence of the depression.Conclusion:Given that median scores of all four domains of the quality of life of persons suffering from psoriasis were in the higher half of classification scale, the quality of their life can be considered as satisfactory. The degree of depression and the domain of quality of life are in negative correlation with psoriasis.

New euprimate postcrania from the early Eocene of Gujarat, India, and the strepsirrhine–haplorhine divergence

The oldest primates of modern aspect (euprimates) appear abruptly on the Holarctic continents during a brief episode of global warming known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, at the beginning of the Eocene (∼56 Ma). When they first appear in the fossil record, they are already divided into two distinct clades, Adapoidea (basal members of Strepsirrhini, which includes extant lemurs, lorises, and bushbabies) and Omomyidae (basal Haplorhini, which comprises living tarsiers, monkeys, and apes). Both groups have recently been discovered in the early Eocene Cambay Shale Formation of Vastan lignite mine, Gujarat, India, where they are known mainly from teeth and jaws. The Vastan fossils are dated at ∼54.5 Myr based on associated dinoflagellates and isotope stratigraphy. Here, we describe new, exquisitely preserved limb bones of these Indian primates that reveal more primitive postcranial characteristics than have been previously documented for either clade, and differences between them are so minor that in many cases we cannot be certain to which group they belong. Nevertheless, the small distinctions observed in some elements foreshadow postcranial traits that distinguish the groups by the middle Eocene, suggesting that the Vastan primates—though slightly younger than the oldest known euprimates—may represent the most primitive known remnants of the divergence between the two great primate clades.

„nicht tonal und nicht atonal“ Zur Bedeutung der Quinten in Ligetis Etüde Nr. 8 „Fém“

Ligeti’s claim that his etudes are neither tonal nor atonal can be demonstrated with the functions of the fifths in the etude No. 8 “Fém.” The fifths are integrated into the musical relationships partly in a traditional and partly in a modern manner. Customarily, the interval of a fifth is added to single tones in order to establish tonal spaces and implying fundamentals. A peculiarly modern aspect is the use of fifths as parts of the overtone series.

The Chinese-Russian Slang as a Contemporary Aspect of the Russian-Chinese Language Contact

This paper sheds some light upon the Chinese-Russian slang as a modern aspect of the Russian- Chinese language contact. The paper shows that there are two main types of the attitude towards the Chinese-Russian slang. The first group of people considers it to be a language game, so the attitude is mostly indifferent. The second group of the respondents has a negative attitude, which is illustrated by the author.

The case of the gene: Postgenomics between modernity and postmodernity.

The history of modernity is a story about humans emancipating themselves from prejudice and superstition through reason and science. Scientific research has been a major driving force of progress for human civilization since the industrial revolution in the mid‐18th century. During the past 250 years, humans have rapidly increased their use of science, as a tool not only to understand and shape their environment, but also to improve themselves with better health care and longer, more comfortable lives. Unfortunately, the application of science has not always been appropriate: Darwin's theory of natural selection was applied to social policies in the form of eugenics from the early 19th century until the second half of the 20th century. In this period, eugenics remained a popular ideology and, as a consequence, genetics was a popular science. It was also a period of significant human migration that increased racial diversity in Western nations, with resulting concerns about racial purity. Naturalism and social Darwinism were very popular throughout, while industrialization led to massive urbanization and increasing pauperism. Politically, it was a time of interventionist policies, such as the so‐called Progressive Era in the USA that led to drastic social and political change. > No more divine designer, no more life force is needed; life is determined by a genetic program and evolves as a result of chance—or human choice—and selection Eugenics gained scientific legitimacy in the early 20th century owing to Mendelian genetics, which offered a rational, scientific theory to understand, predict, and control heredity and thereby the characteristics of future generations. As pauperism, criminality, and “feeblemindedness” were thought to be genetically determined, eugenics offered a tool to eliminate these undesirable traits from the human population. Of course, the idea of a single and universal definition of “the gene” is currently disappearing together …

The 2006 Asian Games: self-affirmation and soft power

This article is based on a study of the 2006 Asian Games held in Qatar. It was one of the first major international sporting events ever organised by Qatar that has since become a key location for such occasions. The purpose of this study was to explain the function of mega-events. They are associated with the event organisers to bring out the unique identity of a nation and to gain credibility with the international community through the use of an emotional dynamic. Analysis proposes to illustrate how this event affected Qatar internationally as part of soft power as well as the structuring role it played locally. The Asian Games were not to be perceived as an isolated sports event on the contrary, it was an integral part of a global strategy. Qatar needed to gain political recognition and to demonstrate its ability to organise other more prestigious sporting events. Moreover, this mega-event served a local purpose. It was essential in the process of identity affirmation. As a metaphor of society, sport had to symbolise excellence with regard to the values promoted. It was an opportunity to associate the modern aspect of sports with the traditional values of a political system and the Muslim faith. Previously, where sport was typically ingrained in the values that defined western society, Qatari leaders believed that social values could purify sports to become a method of socialisation. If mega-events were a means to increase Qatar’s influence in international relations, they also served as a cultural instrument that would impose a model for society and further increase the country’s influence.

“An Authentic Record of My Race”: Exploring the Popular Narratives of African American Religion in the Music of Duke Ellington

AbstractEdward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington (1899–1974) emerged within the jazz profession as a prominent exponent of Harlem Renaissance racial uplift ideals about incorporating African American culture into artistic production. Formed in the early twentieth century's middle-class black Protestant culture but not a churchgoer in adulthood, Ellington conveyed a nostalgic appreciation of African American Christianity whenever hewrote music to chronicle African American history. This prominent jazz musician's religious nostalgia resulted in compositions that conveyed to a broader American audience a portrait of African American religiosity that was constantly “classical” and static—not quite primitive, but never appreciated as a modern aspect of black culture.This article examines several Ellington compositions from the late 1920s through the 1960s that exemplify his deployment of popular representations of African American religious belief and practice. Through the short filmBlack and Tanin the 1920s, the satirical popular song “Is That Religion?” in the 1930s, the long-form symphonic movementBlack, Brown and Beigein the 1940s, the lyricism of “Come Sunday” in the 1950s, and the dramatic prose of “My People” in the 1960s, Ellington attempted to capture a portrait of black religious practice without recognition of contemporaneous developments in black Protestant Christianity in the twentieth century's middle decades. Although existing Ellington scholarship has covered his “Sacred Concerts” in the 1960s and 1970s, this article engages themes and representations in Ellington's work prefiguring the religious jazz that became popular with white liberal Protestants in America and Europe. This discussion of religious narratives in Ellington's compositions affords an opportunity to reflect upon the (un)intended consequences of progressive, sympathetic cultural production, particularly on the part of prominent African American historical figures in their time. Moreover, this article attempts to locate the jazz profession as a critical site for the examination of racial and religious representation in African American religious history.

A study on “kaikano husband” of Akutagawa Ryunosuke and “Kalailmuseum” of Natume soseki -through museum in the works in the modern aspect of meizi period-

나쓰메 소세키의 『칼라일 박물관』을 통해서는 근대의 칼라일이 자신의 아내와 살았던 집과 내부의 서재와 그 주변의 풍경에 대해 씌어졌다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 아쿠타가와의 『개화의 남편』에 등장하는 박물관에서는 동판화를 통해 첫째는 과거의 도쿄의 혼합된 근대의 모습 회상. 둘째는 우키요에를 통해 그 시대의 친구의 연애를 통해서 주인공의 결혼관과 연애관을 통해서 근대를 어떻게 생각하고 있었는가를 회상하고 있다. 그 당시 도쿄에는 외국인들이 들어와 쓰키지에 집을 짓고 살면서 그 부근이 새로운 도시로 변모하고 공원이나 극장이 들어서 지식인들이 문화생활을 자연스럽게 받아들일 수 있는 공간으로 자리매김을 했다는 것을 의미하며, 그 공간으로 인해 남녀 간의 연애는 자연스럽게 이루어지게 된다. 아쿠타가와도 어릴 때부터 외국인들이 거주하는 쓰키지 거류지에 산 적이 있어 그 부근이 메이지로 인해 파괴와 건설을 반복하는 것을 보아왔다. 때문에 그 시대의 풍경을 많이 그리워했을 것이다. 아쿠타가와는 위와 같은 배경이나 환경으로 인해 메이지 초기, 즉 개화기의 화양절충 풍속이나 분위기를 재현하고 싶었다고 볼 수 있다.

Heart Palpitation From Traditional and Modern Medicine Perspectives

Background:Palpitation is a sign of a disease and is very common in general population. For this purpose we decided to explain it in this study.Objectives:The purpose of this study was to describe the palpitation in both modern and traditional medicine aspect. It may help us to diagnose and cure better because the traditional medicine view is holistic and different from modern medicine.Materials and Methods:We addressed some descriptions to the articles of traditional medicine subjects which have published recently. Palpitation in modern medicine was extracted from medical books such as Braunwald, Harrison and Guyton physiology and some related articles obtained from authentic journals in PubMed and Ovid and Google scholar between1990 to 2013.Results:According to modern medicine, there are many causes for palpitation and in some cases it is cured symptomatically. In traditional medicine view, palpitation has been explained completely and many causes have been described. Its aspect is holistic and it cures causatively. The traditional medicine scientists evaluated the body based on Humors and temperament. Temperament can be changed to dis-temperament in diseases. Humors are divided in 4 items: sanguine, humid or phlegm, melancholy and bile. Palpitation is a disease, it is heart vibration and is caused by an abnormal substance in the heart itself or its membrane or other adjacent organs that would result in the heart suffering.Conclusions:Our data of this article suggests that causes of palpitation in the aspect of traditional medicine are completely different from modern medicine. It can help us to approach and treat this symptom better and with lower side effects than chemical drugs. According to this article we are able to detect a new approach in palpitation.
