The Effect of Varied training style on The Development of Aerobic Endurance and Half Marathon Achievement for Men

The research aimed at designing exercises and identifying the effect of varied training style on aerobic endurance development and men’s half marathon achievement. The researchers used the experimental method on (5) athletes who participated in championships for athletics’ clubs and Iraqi institutions for the year 2019. The researchers specified (10Km) and (21Km) tests, a pilot study was conducted, and then the training program was applied for four months with four training sessions per week. The data was collected and treated using proper statistical operations to conclude that aerobic endurance developed using varied training as well as achievement. Finally, the researchers recommended using modern training methods and styles that suits the sport in order to reach the optimal goal as well as making similar studies using varied training on other individual and team sports for both genders for different age groups. In addition to that, the researchers recommended using varied training on other physical abilities.

3D building configuration as the driver of diurnal and nocturnal land surface temperatures: Application in Beijing's old city

Urbanization has produced extremely diverse structures of buildings, including horizontal sprawl, vertical growth, and a transition from traditional to modern architecture. Although the influence of urban morphology on urban heat formation is unquestioned, previous research has relied just on the 2D building composition and its influence on diurnal land surface temperatures (DLSTs). However, it is not well known that the 3D building configuration affects nocturnal land surface temperatures (NLSTs) and seasonal variations. In a new approach, a set of 3D landscape metrics, based on both aspects of composition and configuration, is here proposed and tested for spatiotemporal associations to land surface temperatures (LSTs) in Beijing's old city. The combination of classical and modern architecture styles makes this region an ideal laboratory for LST studies in highly different urban structures. Major findings include: 1) 3D landscape metrics effectively and suitably describe the diversity, irregularity and spatial arrangement of buildings; 2) Denser and more compact building patterns result in higher DLSTs, whereas highest NLSTs occur around modern high-rise buildings; 3) 3D landscape metrics have sensitive correlations to DLSTs, but in general NLSTs are closer associated with composition metrics rather than configuration metrics; 4) Both DLST and NLST are most importantly affected by building numbers and nearest distances between buildings; 5) The association between urban morphology and LSTs is fairly stable over all four seasons; with the variation that the summer relationship was relatively lower due to stronger solar radiation and evapotranspiration of urban vegetation.

Janteloven: Scandinavian Social Conformity, IKEA, Minimalism, and The Socialism of Design

Janteloven is a set of unspoken or hidden rules of conformity in Scandinavian societies, especially in Norway and Denmark. These rules, also called as Scandinavian Ten Commandments, were originated from a fiction novel, written in 1933 by Aksel Sandemose. Sandemose gathered, identified and described the unspoken Scandinavian nature of societal and conformity rules that he was highly critical about and stated the obvious with irony. Janteloven is commonly associated with some negative social behavioral traits as if Janteloven put a spell on Scandinavian people. It also was associated with some positive traits, Scandinavian design, IKEA and even Scandinavian social democratic life is associated with it. This study examines the stylistic characteristics of minimalism, Mid-20th Century Modern style, Scandinavian style, IKEA style and philosophies within their origins, and ideological associations. The study is designed as phenomenology; conceptual discourse analysis and content analysis methods were employed to analyze information. Design and ideology may influence each other reciprocally, and design trends may not be a coincidence. This study makes connections of how an egalitarian society ends up with minimalist design and IKEA philosophy using social conformity and Janteloven as vehicles.

ON ONE TENDENCY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LENINGRAD LANDSCAPE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1950S — 1960S

In the scientific literature, the concept of the Leningrad landscape school is usually concretised in the chronology of the 1930s-1940s. The article examines a stylistically integral trend in landscape painting of the second half of the 1950s – 1960s, associated with A. Semyonov, S. Osipov, K. Gushchin and several other masters. The genesis of this trend is outlined: the Thaw period processes in culture and society. The formation of a new visual image of time, fixed by the so-called modern style, is shown. The problem of re-actualization of this concept in connection with a number of recent exhibitions is considered. The formative and worldview factors, due to which the creative searches of these painters converge into a single trend that determines the nature of the Leningrad landscape of the specified period, are analysed. It can be traced how this trend, which absorbed many impulses of the modern style, became its major component. An attempt to identify an essential tendency in the Leningrad landscape of the next stage, the second half of the 1950s - 1960s, is the purpose of the article. Are there grounds for focusing on this period in the development of the Leningrad landscape? Are there any connections between the trend in landscape painting, which we will consider, with the general style vector of Soviet art of the period we are interested in? Namely, with the socalled modern style? The very formulation of the question was initiated by several exhibitions dedicated to the so-called Thaw period in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Pushkin Museum, the Moscow Museum in 2017–2018. But above all, by the exhibition “In Search of Modern Style. Leningrad Experience. The Second Half of the 1950s - Mid1960s”, which was held in the Russian Museum in 2018. (3). The concept of the organisers of the exhibition in the Russian museum was somewhat different from that of their Moscow colleagues. The creators of the expositions mentioned above sought to show a cross-section of social problems and moods, the history of mentalities. The curators of the exhibition in the Russian Museum were more focused on identifying stylistic vectors, shaping, and visual practices. Based on practical and theoretical research outlined in the article, the author returns the concept of modern style to scientific circulation.

Redefining twentieth century ideals of Irish womanhood: Dorothy Tyrconnell Forrest, Erina Brady, and early Irish modern dance

ABSTRACT This article explores the experiences of two women choreographers working with modernist dance forms in Ireland during the early twentieth century. Through an analysis of reviews, photos, and archival film, I demonstrate how these women navigated the moral panic surrounding modernist dance forms in early-to-mid twentieth century Ireland. I argue that the obstacles these women negotiated were directly related to societal norms and legislation centered on kinesthetic control of women’s bodies and sexuality. These norms resulted in associations of modern styles of dancing with improper sexuality – meaning any sexuality outside the confines of heteronormative married relationships – and suspicion of any dancing that was seen to undermine the ideals of Irish womanhood as a uniquely chaste identity.

국내 관광객의 한국 패션문화상품 구매행동 연구:성별과 연령집단에 따른 비교분석을 중심으로

The purposes of this study were to investigate purchasing behaviors of domestic tourists towards Korean fashion cultural products, and to identify the differences by subject’ sex and age variable. The subjects were 500 tourists in their 20’s to 50’s, and measuring instruments consisted of purchase status, preference for items and styles, product selection criteria, and subject’ demographic attributions. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, multiple responses analysis, x² test, factor analysis, t-test, ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test using SPSS program. The results were as follows: First, the purchase experience for Korean fashion cultural products was less than 50 percentage, and purchase satisfaction showed a relatively low level. The main reasons for dissatisfaction were unreasonable price, lack of diversity in items and designs, lack of practicality, and lack of cultural values. The most commonly purchased items were accessories while the purchase rate of clothing was very low. The main purchase place was souvenir shops at tourist sites. Second, domestic tourists mostly preferred T-shirts among clothing items, and handkerchiefs and bags among fashion miscellaneous items, and modern style among styles. Third, tourists considered the design, practicality, and culture /tourism factor in order of importance as product selection criteria. Fourth, purchase items, preference items, and product selection criteria showed many differences by the subjects’ sex and age groups, whereas reasons for dissatisfaction and preference styles showed differences by only the subjects’ age groups. These results showed that there is a need to develop clothing products with various items and designs, and product development plans should be differentiated considering consumer characteristics.

Analysis of Society Perspective about Vintage Fashion Using Deconstruction Approach

Nowadays, society perspective about vintage fashion as old-fashioned can be changed. This study aims to discuss the alteration perspective of society about vintage fashion. This discussion is conducted to see the other side of vintage fashion. This research is different from other fashion studies because it wants to show how to view the value of a fashion not in general way, especially using deconstruction approach. This study used qualitative methods in the form of interviews to get the data. The interviewees of this research were four young women who like to follow fashion development through social media. Their opinions are used as society representatives about vintage fashion. It will be connected with the theory of deconstruction like 'Differance.' In this case, people's perspective on vintage fashion changes due to the influence of influencers from various social media so that vintage fashion can be juxtaposed with modern style today. Therefore, vintage can get an identity as nowadays's clothes.

The Impact of virtual groups in social media programs on changing the social habits of university students – An applied study on female students of Qassim University –: أثر الجماعات الافتراضية في برامج التواصل الاجتماعي على تغير العادات الاجتماعية للطالبات الجامعيات – دراسة تطبيقية على طالبات جامعة القصيم –

The study aimed to identify the impact of virtual groups in social networking programs on changing social and economic customs among female university students. To achieve this, the study relied on the social survey method. The closed questionnaire tool was used to collect data. The study was applied to female students of Qassim University from Faculty of pharmacy, Faculty of sharia (Islamic Law) and Faculty of Arts, the number of the sample was (273) students, and were chosen in a stratified manner. In the light of the hypothesis of the explained theories, which are (social progress, proliferation, determination, cultural courses), the study reached a number results, the most important of which are: that Arabic and foreign social materials shared among female members of virtual groups, whether among relatives or friends or among work groups, are related to the change of social customs of young woman’s engagement in Saudi society, so that it is directly from the suitor to the young woman without an intermediary before asking the guardian. The study also found that there is a relationship between the virtual group of female friends and the virtual group of relatives in social networking programs and the change in the expenditure and consumption habits of female university students. The study also reached that there is no relationship between virtual groups and the type of material shared and the level of contentment of the article sent with the customs of the first months of marriage (honeymoon). The customs of honeymoon have changed because of the cultural contact with foreign societies. It turns out that the interpretation of the economic imperative and the interpretation of cultural courses and the interpretation of proliferation are all suitable to interpret the connection of virtual groups in social networking programs with the change of social customs.The study concluded with a number of recommendations, most notably: The need to raise the awareness of parents and family regarding the enlightenment of young women who are getting married about the importance of taking into consideration the rationalization when setting up wedding ceremonies in Saudi society, and that arranging them should be in a modern style with taking into account the values and customs of Saudi society. The study came to a conclusion as a whole that there is an impact of the new social networking on the change of social and economic customs of young women in university. This enhances the importance of conducting and testing a number of different theories. This work would be done through working on more studies and researches which seek the relation between one of social networking programs and consumption. Also, the relation of social networking programs with the change of the concepts, roles and responsibilities of marriage and marital relationship. This would be done through using qualitative and quantitative tools (focused interview, content analysis, case study) in order to describe and interpret aspects that cannot be discovered by the questionnaire.

Sustainable construction for affordable housing program in Kabul

Afghanistan suffers from four decades of war, caused a massive migration of the rural population to the cities. Kabul was originally designed for 1,5 million people, where now 5 million people live. The importation of modern western styles housing for rapid reconstruction reveals apparent cultural conflict and significant environmental footprint. The new constructive cultures for sustainable reconstruction should necessary consider the use of local materials combined with modern technologies. Earthen architecture underlies the embodiment of Afghanistan architecture. The aim of this research is to revisit traditional afghan earthen construction with the tools of industrial modernity. Three soils of the Kabul region were first characterized. Then, sun-dried mud brick and compressive earth block, with and without stabilization have been prepared and tested in the laboratory to develop the most suitable earth construction element which is cost effective and easily available compared to the imported modern products.

Effects of Hydroxycinnamates and Exogenous Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen on Cider Aroma and Fermentation Performance

Cider apple cultivars typically contain high concentrations of tannins (phenolic compounds) and/or acids. The phenolic content of some cider apples far exceeds that of white wine grapes, yet modern global cider styles are often fermented using yeast strains originally selected and commercialized for white wine production. The potential for phenolic compounds in cider apple juice to influence fermentation rate or aromas generated during cider fermentation is not typically considered in yeast strain selection. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, and chlorogenic acid (at concentrations reported in apples) on fermentation kinetics and cider aroma, and the interactive effects of yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) on these outcomes. Our hypothesis was that phenolic compounds present in high-tannin cider apples would slow down fermentation, but not alter aroma, and that added YAN would moderate these effects. Ferulic acid negatively affected fermentation performance , but p-coumaric and chlorogenic acids did not. A sensory sorting task showed that p-coumaric acid led to distinct differences in grouping by aroma, while ferulic acid resulted in distinct aroma descriptors. Finally, addition of YAN improved fermentation performance for low concentrations of ferulic acid, and it affected the aroma of cider amended with p-coumaric acid.

Effect of Murivenna Ointment in the Management of Parikarthika (Acute Fissure in Ano) – A Pilot Study

Parikarthika (Fissure in ano) is one of the most painful condition which is occurring in the ano rectal region. Due to irregular food habits and modern life styles of peoples in the present era has also added to the increase in the rate of incidence of fissure in ano. The aim of the present pilot study was to assess the effectiveness of Murivenna ointment in the management of Parikarthika. This study was conducted in 22 patients diagnosed as acute fissure in ano. Patients Murivenna ointment was applied locally with digitally in fissure bed (Parikartika) of all 22 patients. All patients were advised to follow this twice daily after sitz bath for 4 weeks or till healing of fissure bed whichever is earlier. Adjuvant drug Triphalachurnam 5 gm orally at bedtime with lukewarm water was prescribed daily to all patients with constipation. There was significant relief in symptoms like pain in ano and bleeding per rectum in all patients after 30 days of treatment. The anal sphincter tonicity became normal in 21 patients (95.45%) after 30 days of treatment. Ulcer in ano was completely healed in 19 patients (86.36%) after 30 days of treatment. There was no reoccurrence in all patients after 30 days of follow up. The irritable symptoms like pain and bleeding per rectum were effectively relieved within 14 days of treatment in all patients. It is one of the effective treatments in the management of fissure in ano as it relieved the cardinal symptoms of fissure in ano such as cutting pain and burning pain.

Phenomenon of musicality in expressiveness of V. Kandinskyi canvases

The radicalism of the picturesque aspirations of modern and avant-garde style was fed by overcoming the statics of this art form and the subject specify of the expression. Ideal and temporary nature of the music presented the source of this sort expressiveness, which to the ful was used by V. Kandinskiy. His music preparation, subsequently friendship with A. Schoenberg promoted the corresponding to creative choice, which he has done the declaration of the abstract art and projection music sign to compositions and acceptance in graphic sphere. Kandinskiy rested in achievements post-impressionism – post-symbolism, in which are presented “washed away” in scene, not clearly given image. The music elements painting Kandinskiy realized as independence of the colour and symbolic elements in compositions. In this work is made analysis of linen “Composition II”, “Improvisation 8” and “Improvisation IV”. It is attention to symbology Roman and Arabic numerals, presented in name, which put into composition of the picturesque linen to associations with conditional image types of the music sound. The special accent is made on analogy of the symmetries of the distribution colorful heel and line to ?rchytonic construction of the music forms.

Adakites and associated granitoids from the Serra da Prata Arc: Evidence for a Tonian subduction setting within the Araçuaí-Ribeira orogenic system (AROS), SE Brazil

Within deeply eroded orogenic belts, the geochemical signatures of metamorphosed igneous rocks can be used to constrain modern-like tectonic models operating in Precambrian times. One important aspect of this discussion is the presence or not of pre-collisional arc-related rocks that would represent the magmatic product of subduction processes imprinted on the upper plate of the convergent setting. New detailed geological and geochemical data of the northern segment of the Tonian to Cryogenian juvenile Outer Arc of the Araçuaí-Ribeira Orogenic System (AROS) are presented. Results were combined with recently published U–Pb and Hf data to contribute to a comprehensive tectonic model. The arc-related rocks (Serra da Prata Complex), transformed in foliated orthogneisses, are interlayered with dolomitic marbles, amphibolites, and psammo-pelitic paragneisses (Italva Group). This association is similar to the one described in the southern part of the orogenic system, pointing to the extension of the Outer Arc system until the Rio Doce River, in the transition zone between the Araçuaí and Ribeira segments of the AROS. New geochemical analyses together with reinterpreted published data indicate the presence of typical adakites that, together with normal calc-alkaline expanded series, island arc tholeiitic series, and A-type granitoids, corroborate with a modern style plate tectonic model. The envisaged model started in the Tonian, with E-verging subduction that resulted in the production of very juvenile arc-related rocks and associated fore-to back-arc basins filled with carbonatic rocks, meta-volcanic rocks, and MORB-like basaltic rocks. The typical adakites are considered the result of partial melting of young and hot oceanic lithosphere under moderate to high pressures in which garnet was an important stable residue. Potassic C-type adakitic rocks formed by the partial melting of thickened lower crust occur associated with the typical adakites. The occurrence of both adakites, together with A-type granitoids, characteristic of the investigated terminal sector of the Serra da Prata arc, is interpreted to result from a slab window gap, either associated with slab tearing/ridge subduction or slab roll-back, hampering an intracontinental model for the Ribeira orogen.

Healing myths, yoga styles and social bodies: socio-logics of yoga as a health practice in the socially stratified city of Marseille, France

Drawing on participant observation and interviews in two yoga studios in the highly socially stratified city of Marseille, France, this paper explores the understandings of yoga as a health practice that emerge at the intersections between yoga styles and their social contexts of consumption. Its insights emerge from the comparison of three modern yoga styles that were developed for Western English-speaking cultural contexts – Iyengar, Bikram and Forrest – and which differ in form but also in the chronology of their emergence on the global yoga market and that of their reception in France. These three yoga styles are also branded through contrasting mythologies of transformational healing, and the aim of this paper is to explore how a brand conceptualization of yoga as a health practice relates to or resonates with the embodied experiences of practitioners, and to the socio-cultural contexts in which practitioners and their practices are embedded. The paper contributes a new case study to the global yoga scholarship and to a poorly studied French yoga scene, but more importantly, it cross-examines the discourses through which a yoga style is branded, the way it is transmitted, and the social context and social positioning of the individuals who practice it. Combining perspectives on the body, narrative and rituals, it identifies how yoga healing is construed in relation to gender, ethnicity and class and the points of consensus and dissent that emerge from the encounters between French social bodies and exogenous yoga styles.

Preserving Yemeni Architecture in the Era of Civilization and Development

Population increase and accelerating growth of cities have led to several problems in developing countries. Developmental policies have been adopted to improve the economic and social well-being of the countries. Modern architecture in the cities and their civilized expansion are also examined in this study. In particular, the rise in modern architectural style and the changes that occurred due to the use of new building materials are discussed in detail. The scope of the study is Yemen and its important historical and architectural treasures in the heritage architectural field including the distinctive mud architecture in Hadramout Valley. Thus, Yemeni cities are classified in order to help architects and planners in the development of a strategic plan for these cities. The findings will also help to preserve the heritage and unique nature of Yemeni architecture in this era of development.

Influence of Spatial Layout of Residential Buildings on Sedentary Behaviour of Residents in Enugu, Nigeria

Sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of several non-communicable killer diseases globally. However, there is limited understanding of how the design and planning of residential buildings can help in curbing sedentary lifestyle among urban population in the developing countries. This research investigated the spatial layout of residential buildings and its influence on sedentary lifestyle of the occupants in Enugu metropolis in southeast Nigeria. A questionnaire survey of 400 residents and evaluation of the active design features of the floor plans of their residential buildings were conducted in the study area. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Duncan multiple comparison test, and thematic content analysis. The residential buildings were found to have the traditional house and western style house layouts. Although the results indicated that residents spent about 90% of the time at home on sedentary activity, those living in buildings with traditional house layout were found to spend the least time on sedentary activity compared to those in dwelling units with western style house layout pattern. The results of Duncan multiple comparison test revealed that residents in house layouts where the conveniences are separated from the sleeping place or lounge, spent significantly lower time on sedentary activity such as sitting, while the reverse was the case for light activity like standing. The findings of this research are instructive in revealing that when it comes to active design, the traditional house layout pattern appears to have advantage over the modern or western style. It is therefore recommended that to achieve residential design that promotes physical activity among occupants, architects and other professionals involved in housing development should consider the adoption of the traditional layout concept in the design of future homes in the study area and beyond.

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DISTANCE LEARNING

Because of the developement and technology, learners and teachers shift from the traditional way of education to the modern one.This later involves studying from home without going or being at school or university.The modern style of education has advantages and disadvantages.In case of disadvantages we have to suggest solutions for enhancing distance learning.

Penerapan Pemahaman Pedagogik melalui Pendidikan Berbasis Teknologi

In pedagogic understanding, an educator must possess qualified credibility as an instructor if he/she has willing to teach. The art of teaching and also the knowledge of the style of learning is called pedagogic. Then, in the orientation of how the teaching is also various. For example, there is a conventional learning style to a modern style. However, the amusement of the newest way or so-called the modern way tends to become strange for some educators. Therefore, this research is in progress to figure out the cause and effect of what makes the teacher/educator doesn’t willing or has no intention to learn and to apply the way of teaching with a new style of teaching method and with the new media of electronics called technology
