Optimization Design Methods for Thermal Environment Problems in Chinese University Teaching Buildings at Various Periods

Chinese universities have gone through three periods of centralized construction and significant differences in the design of teaching buildings in different periods may cause various thermal environment problems. This study takes a city in a cold region in northern China as an example and selects three teaching buildings built during three concentrated construction periods: 1950s to 1960s, 1980s to 1990s, and early 21st century as common cases. Based on field research, thermal environment measurement, APMV and PMV-PPD evaluation, and DeST simulation methods, it was found that the average summer APMV of the three teaching buildings was 1.37, indicating poor thermal comfort. In winter, the ambient temperature of the classrooms was below 18 °C for about 30% to 40% of the whole year, the average PMV value was −2.36, and the PPD value was obtained as 83.28%, far exceeding the standard requirements. The obtained results form a design strategy to optimize the thermal environment of teaching buildings. By considering the teaching building of historical architecture from the 1950s to 1960s as an example, the optimization design was carried out from three aspects to improve the indoor thermal environment and reduce the building’s cooling and heating load. The cumulative load of the building throughout the year was reduced by 21%, the cumulative heat load was reduced by 28.3%, and the cumulative cooling load was reduced by 10.1%. This research is anticipated to be of great reference significance for enhancing the thermal comfort of existing buildings, promoting energy conservation, and reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, it contributes to the protection and optimal use of historical buildings.

This made it possible to assert that at the junction of various arts, choreography and its special plastic form contribute to the creation of new avant-garde forms of art, thereby realizing the richest artistic potential of the direction. Based on this, it becomes clear that the relationship between literary and choreographic arts is close, because it affects the enrichment of the ballet repertoire. Creating a choreographic work based on a literary background is one of the most important achievements of choreography.The artistic integrity of choreographic works forms the basis of the principle of art synthesis. The author of the article determined the important role of Ukrainian dance in creating a choreographic performance based on a literary source, because Ukrainian choreographic art is noted for its inexhaustible wealth of dance colors, emotional fervor, subtle folk humor and sincerity of performance, therefore creating a choreographic work based on literary works, especially on national themes, which is an auxiliary factor for activating the harmonious interrelationship of the specified time, space and transmitted events of the work with the means of stage and everyday dance vocabulary. The aim. The purpose and task of the article is to show the interpretation of literary works in the Ukrainian choreographic art of the 20th and early 21 centuries. Research methodology. A content-comparative method for comparing the works of researchers in different fields, the method of historicism - for researching a phenomenon within specific chronological limits, the method of generalization - for identifying the common and different points of view of scientists on the phenomenon under study. Research results: however, in the Ukrainian ballet theater of the late 50s of the 20th century, new aesthetic principles began to dominate, which were of great importance for the development of all musical and choreographic creativity. It is about rejecting prosaic plausibility as the only way to reproduce the truth of life on stage, restoring the hegemony of dance in the system of expressive means. In the ballet work of Ukrainian artists, the direction towards the heroization of the genre, the tendency towards the epic type of drama and the wide use of folklore becomes noticeable. Conclusion. In the process of working on the embodiment of a literary work or an image, the dramaturgy has the ability to change, develop, acquire specific features and details, the dramaturgy becomes alive, filled and exciting for the viewer. The ballet master’s solution to the embodiment of the literary source is embodied by the ballet dancers, who bring it to the audience with their art. The development and enrichment of choreographic art, the search for new forms, in this way, we observe in a creative union with adjacent muses, in interaction with other arts, where choreography does not dissolve in them, but while keeping its face, makes a fruitful contribution to the development of this union. The artistic integrity characteristic of the best choreographic works is based on the principle of synthesis of arts. Forms and means of dance-plastic action, principles of music-choreography dramaturgy, which allow to create works commensurate with the outstanding achievements of other arts, were formed in this experience. The key to the success of choreographic art is the mastery and development of this experience.

Analysis of the Masjids of the Great Seljukid Caravanserais: Case Study of Ribati Sherif

“Ribat”, an Arabic word, means “keeping watch along the border to prevent enemy attacks”. In the history of Islamic architecture, it was used for the structures where soldiers tied their horses and kept watch along the borders. In addition to military training, worship and scientific activities were also important in ribats. Volunteer soldiers, called Muraabituun, would spend their time outside of military training with Qur’an reading, worship and dhikr, and prepare themselves for jihad. Therefore, the military function and the spiritual dimension were intertwined from the beginning. The masjids of the ribats are of great importance when evaluated in this context. The first ribats were built in Central Asia from the VIII century onwards. The Great Seljuks built ribats following the Samanids and Ghaznavids. Ribati Sherif, which is the subject of the research, is one of the most mature examples of the Great Seljukid ribats. Kâtib Ali al-Mansûr Asad b. Muhammed es-Sarahsî was the architect of the caravanserai, which is thought to have been built by the governor Şerefü’d-Dîn Ebû Tâhir b. Sa’d b. Ali b. İsa al-Kûmmî, in 1114-1115 and later became the vizier of Sultan Sanjar.

Imperatives of Human Right Conservation in the Complacent Fights Against Insurgency in Nigeria

Insurgency is a major problem devilling Nigeria right now, it is a fight that government has been fighting for decades owing to its responsibility in accordance to section 14(2)(b) of the Nigeria Constitution of 1999 (as amended) in providing for the welfare and safety of her people. Regrettably this scourge has hindered a lot of developments in terms of socio-economic enterprises across all geopolitical zones in the country. The more the governments fight against this menace, the more galvanized they become in their daily operations. The Northern part of the country has recorded activities of groups such as Boko-Haram, Islamic State of West Africa Province ISWAP, Fulani killer Herdsmen, kidnapping etc. In the Eastern part of the country, there exists notorious sect like Independent People of Biafra IPOB, Eastern Security Network (ESN) and the unknown gunmen. The Western part of the country recently started gathering momentum in the name known as Yoruba Nation agitators etc. It is germane to say that, not all of these groups sees themselves as insurgence, rather they see themselves as freedom fighters. In the doctrinal research method as well as the field research, adopted in this work, it is discovered that the only major weapon that the Nigerian government is known for in fighting insurgency is the armory, and in using this military method, in bringing insurgency to bay, more humanitarian crisis is usually created, and human right suffers the more. Nigeria being a party to numerous organizations which include the code of conduct for law enforcement officials 1979, International Covenant on Civil and Political Right (ICCPR) and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Right (ICESR) 1966, as well as the United Nations Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment 1984 etc. Nigeria is directly bound by the provisions in the covenant to protect lives and properties when fighting insurgency in the country. It is the recommendation of this paper that, alternative means that would mitigate the sufferings of civilians be adopted as a right that belongs to them. Therefore the use of arms as the only means to ward off rebellion should be discouraged as it would adversely create more problems for the citizens. Better options to the menace include, Dialogue, Negotiation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction and a 'one to one’ discussion with the aggrieved would avoid escalation of violence and human right violation in Nigeria.
