Groups of Non-Conventional Means Referring to Time in Literary Texts.

The paper is an extensive analysis of literary texts spanning different eras, genres, and languages (including the epic of Gilgamesh, Russian works by A. P. Chekhov, S. Dovlatov, G. G. Demidov, as well as English works by W. Shakespeare, R. P. Warren, W. Faulkner, K. Vonnegut). Through this analysis, the author identified a common poetic feature shared by these works: the utilization of both conventional and non-conventional means to convey the passage of time. The objective of the study was to examine and categorize these non-conventional means according to their respective referential spheres, as well as to elucidate their functions within literary texts. Four main groups were identified, encompassing references to food, human physiology, events or objects in the characters’ living spaces, and processes in nature. The study reveals that non-conventional methods of conveying time in literature are considered archaic; however, they are still widely employed to personalize characters’ perception of time and highlight its psychological aspect. The temporality of these methods is generally reinforced through the use of adverbs, prepositions, or grammatical structures that indicate time. In conclusion, it is established that due to the directional nature of time, its fluidity, and the inevitability of approaching death, authors strive to find ways to capture and define time, giving it tangible forms, and in doing so, the past becomes alive once more.

An Approach to the Common Variables of Iranian Music and Architecture Based on Evidence from Architectural Facades of the Socio-Historical Qajar Period

Architecture and music are two artistic fields that are created and understood by humans. All forms of art, in their ultimate expression, open a path toward abstraction and experience. Based on this definition, many similarities can be found between these two arts. In the creation of architecture, the artistic imagination and mental forms of the artist, through the element of ambiguity resulting from the use of symbols from tangible forms in the construction of buildings, lead the work to the boundaries of abstraction, a realm in which music holds a prominent position. The aim of this article is to examine the historical and transformative trajectory of the conceptual relationship between the two arts of architecture and music throughout different historical periods, where this relationship and influence can be discovered and interpreted in the architectural buildings of each historical period, reflecting the distinct characteristics of that era. The issue addressed in this article is one of the most significant aspects of the connection between these two arts, which facilitates deep communication between them—namely, the practical and aesthetic considerations of these two arts. It seems as though something in the atmosphere and quality of the musical and architectural spaces of the past has changed in the present. Considering the nature of the research subject, the methodology employed in this thesis is a quantitative-qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. Utilizing qualitative content analysis under an interpretive-historical perspective and comparative analysis, the study identifies the fundamental variables present in the theories concerning music, architecture, and their conceptual connections. This research, with a formal and content-based approach throughout the Qajar historical period, examines three characteristics—rhythm and tempo, pitch, and texture—in architecture. Through the analysis of five case studies of prominent buildings from the Qajar period, particularly in architectural facades, it can be stated that the works in both architecture and music possess a rich language and rhythmic, melodic expression. When the outstanding examples of the Qajar period were examined, it was discovered that common concepts such as harmony, proportions, rhythm, and structure are effectively utilized in both disciplines, influencing the designers.

The Impact of the SEADDA COST Action

The Saving Archaeology from the Digital Dark Age (SEADDA) COST Action ran from 2019 to 2023 and produced a wide range of publications, opportunities for capacity building and knowledge transfer. This paper will discuss the less tangible forms of impact resulting from the work of the SEADDA members working within and across their own networks. These impacts include the new avenues of communication and collaboration created through the data stewardship and management focussed National Workshops held in Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Turkey, France, Romania and Ireland. Each workshop took a different form to be suit the needs of their community, but all resulted in progress towards ensuring the long- term persistence of digital archaeological data. This paper will describe the impact of each of these National Workshops. SEADDA made and strengthened connections across a range of different areas of collaboration, primarily through work with members of the European Archaeological Council, the Digital Preservation Coalition, and the ARIADNE Infrastructure for archaeological data. Each of these connections has resulted in closer ties, ongoing collaboration and other forms of impact that would not have been possible without SEADDA. SEADDA was also committed to ensuring participation of non-EU countries which participate in the COST, and supporting doctoral students and early career researchers, and the impacts of these commitments will also be highlighted in this paper.

Bibliometric Analysis of Towards Development Teaching and Learning Based on 3D Animation

Learning is the process by which a person acquires new knowledge, ability, understanding, or experience through interaction with information, teachers, the environment, or their own learning experiences. In addition, its learning methods are not always relevant and are often monotonous, causing students to be bored, uninvolved or unmotivated during the learning process. This can lead to difficulty understanding and retaining the subject matter. Animated 3D-based learning has become one of the increasingly popular modern educational methods to overcome monotonous learning. This method combines 3D animation technology with the learning process to create an interactive and engaging learning environment. The concept, advantages and disadvantages of 3D animation-based learning are discussed in this article. In addition, we describe some case studies that demonstrate the use of this method in education, both in schools and in various learning institutions. 3D animation-based learning offers a new opportunity to improve students ' understanding of difficult concepts by presenting the subject matter in a more visual and tangible form. The use of 3D animation in learning has great potential to improve the effectiveness of the learning process, research and development in this area can help maximize the benefits of 3D animation-based learning.

CÂND ARTA STRADALĂ ÎNTÂLNEȘTE DREPTUL

Today, street art is an inseparable part of the urban landscape. This form of culture was built on the Graffiti current. Current that in the 80's wore the coat of an illegal act (vandalism). This phenomenon has exploded and can also be observed in the big cities in Romania. The artistic value of such cultural expressions is indisputable, but the same cannot be said about the legal treatment applied to them, which is why most artists choose to remain anonymous (Banksy). The wall is one of the favorite supports of this art form. Artists choose to create their works in the public space, on such supports, public or private, and which do not belong to them. Currently, street art does not benefit from proper regulation. Street art can be protected by copyright rules. It is worth noting to what extent these tangible forms fall within the rules and limits of copyright.

The form and content in the architecture of the Yemeni temple gate: the gate of the Baran temple in Ma’rib as a model

Architecture has been considered one of the most expressive means for humans since the beginning of settlement. It carries two aspects, one of which is physical, which is the visible and tangible form. The other is non- physical, which is the intellectual content that the form reveals. Yemeni architecture in general and the architecture of temple gates in particular were shaped by the local environment and social culture. The Yemeni person tried to express his visions, beliefs, and perceptions in a unique architectural form that is distinct from others in an embodied and abstract form. The current research attempts to investigate the content that the architectural form of the Yemeni temple gates carried in form and details. The research focuses on tracing the relationship between the idea and the symbol of portal architecture from the stage of embodiment to the stage of abstraction. The research relies on descriptive and analytical approaches and comparative approaches to compare the gates with their counterparts in the kingdoms of ancient Yemen to determine the similarities and differences the extent of influence between the kingdoms. It aims to analyze the architectural form of the gate in a comprehensive and detailed manner to identify intellectual sources. The study reached an understanding of the architectural form of the temple gates and their contents. Yemeni thought was characterized by integration in embodiment and abstraction. The Yemeni architect turned to signs and symbols in order to give the form the character of embodiment through abstraction, while preserving the main features of the inspired form.

Reward systems and employees’ performance in selected star-rated hotels in Nakuru City, Kenya

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reward systems on employee performance in the Hospitality Industry. An employee reward system is the structure an organisation puts in place to provide tangible forms of recognition to its employees. Employee performance is driven by reward systems, which provide a framework to inspire, recognise, and retain top talent across industries. Employees are the driving force of exceptional visitor experiences in the vibrant landscape of the hospitality industry. The study was done in star-rated hotels within Nakuru City. Star-rated hotels are an indication of the range of facilities available, such as number of restaurants, location, food services, conference, room variation, swimming pool and spa service. The sample size comprised 42 employees selected through stratified and simple random sampling techniques from various departments in the selected star-rated hotels. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results indicated that reward systems have a positive effect on employee performance. In addition, some reward systems were observed to be preferred by employees over others. Therefore, hotels should consider adopting various reward systems in their establishments in order to meet the needs of their employees for enhanced performance. The findings of the study will benefit senior management and the human resource division of hospitality establishments as it will help them determine the most effective reward systems for improved employee performance.

Bir Dış Politika Aracı Olarak Gastronomi: Türk Mutfağı ve Türkiye’nin Gastrodiplomasi Girişimleri

Since the last quarter of the twentieth century, the actors of global politics have multiplied, and their relationships have diversified. This has also led to a redefinition of foreign policy strategies. States tend to increase their public diplomacy activities. Cuisine, the most tangible form of cultural resource, has become one of the powerful tools of public diplomacy. Food, dishes, and cuisine have played an essential role throughout history and have begun to be defined as a diplomacy tool. We define gastrodiplomacy as a public diplomacy activity that aims to attract people through food. Turkey has a unique culinary culture due to its location and multicultural character. A Turkish cuisine is a tool that deserves to be promoted in Turkish foreign policy and an opportunity for nation branding. This article examines the concept of gastrodiplomacy, identifies the components of Turkish cuisine, shows Turkey's gastrodiplomacy activities, and offers suggestions for Turkey's gastrodiplomacy initiatives.

Tokenized and Tactile: Frank Stella’s Geometries (2022)

On 8 September 2022, the American artist Frank Stella launched a series of twenty-two digital art works minted as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in collaboration with Arsnl, the in-house platform by the Artist Rights Society (ARS). Titled Geometries, each “package,” included the NFT that would affirm ownership and the corresponding geometric model designed by Stella in JPG (image), MP4 (video), SLS (3D printing), GLB (virtual reality and model manipulation), and USDZ (augmented reality). This range of digital formats alludes to two of Stella’s innovations in this space: the license to remix and manipulate his models, and the ability to 3D print Geometries at any color, scale, and material. Taking Stella’s foray into the NFT-space as a starting point, my article focuses on an emergent trend by artists engaging with Web3: the effort to bridge the physical and the digital by giving tangible form to NFT artworks and what this suggests for the future of digital materiality. The paper at its core seeks to examine the relationship between the physical referents to NFTs at the very moment when new media returns to historical forms.

Racial Discrimination and Anti-discrimination: The COVID-19 Pandemic’s Impact on Chinese Restaurants in North America

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has seen a rise in racial discrimination against Asian communities, notably the Chinese population. Despite growing research on various aspects of the pandemic, there is a notable gap in understanding its behavioral impact regarding racial discrimination. This study delves into the manifestations of COVID-19-related racial discrimination and antidiscrimination efforts on online platforms using large-scale data sets from Yelp.com and SafeGraph. We specifically examined how the pandemic affected Chinese restaurants compared with non-Chinese ones at different pandemic phases. Our findings are significant; the pandemic triggered an immediate surge in racial discrimination, resulting in a substantial decrease in customers visiting Chinese restaurants. Importantly, we applied advanced text mining and machine learning techniques to analyze user behavior, consistently revealing that increased discrimination prompted users to take antidiscrimination actions on online platforms. This research highlights a tangible form of racial discrimination through reduced patronage of Chinese restaurants and underscores the capacity of consumers to combat discrimination on online platforms. It calls for targeted policy interventions to address and prevent racial discrimination, particularly in the context of public health crises.

Reconsidering Perceptions of the Balkan Wars (1912-3) in British War Correspondence

Historiography about external representations of southeastern Europe places significance on the Balkan Wars (1912-3) in cementing negative stereotypes of the region. Despite this, there have been few studies dealing specifically with British representations of these conflicts. This article scrutinises British journalistic correspondence from the wars, sources neglected by previous scholarship in favour of overtly literary depictions of the region and tangible forms of Anglo-Balkan political contact. Foregrounding domestic political culture which shaped representations, notably the publicity of the liberal Balkan Committee, and the practicalities of war correspondence, this article argues British perceptions of the wars were more sympathetic than typically assumed. Representations of the conflicts were based around patterns of perception originating in orientalist assumptions about the Ottoman Empire. Reporters welcomed allied victories as the triumph of Western ‘progress’ over Eastern ‘stagnation’ and instrumentalised violent stereotypes about the Ottomans to highlight the just cause of the allied offensive via atrocity propaganda. While recognising growing dissent in Britain over pro-Balkan reporting from organisations such as the Ottoman Association, this article concludes by emphasising how the ‘fratricidal’ Second Balkan War had less of an impact on patterns of perception due to its short duration.

Illusory Interior: Public Housing as Uncanny Site

In 2021, Indonesia participated in the London Design Biennale, focusing on the theme of Resonance. The pavilion's response centred around public housing as an uncanny site, examining the psychological barriers faced by evicted communities during their transition to public housing. This study provides a conceptual analysis by exploring how the uncanny aspects of the occupants' experiences are expressed in installation using the illusory interior as a spatial metaphor. Through practice-led research, utilising ethnographic surrealism and narrative inquiries, data was gathered and translated into artistic mediums through various experiments. The study identifies several factors contributing to the uncanny sensation among public housing occupants, based on the occupants' experiences in public housing in Rancacili (Bandung) and Penjaringan (Jakarta), such as the shift from horizontal to vertical living, inadequate unit design, the absence of communal spaces, and a lack of ownership. The pavilion design attempts to integrate design theory and art practice, showcasing how installation art can express interiority within built spaces and extend it into installation art. Here, the uncanny acts as a methodological framework for critiquing space and transforming interiority into tangible forms by interpreting the actual conditions using installation art as a medium.

Dampak Budaya Akademik Kampus Terhadap Gaya Hidup Mahasiswa Perantau Mahasiswa Tadris IPS UIN Jakarta

This study aims to find out and explain how the impact of campus academic culture on the lifestyles of overseas students in the Social Sciences Tadris Study Program at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The method used is qualitative with the data analysis model of Miles and Hubberman on the basis of Peter L. Berger's social construction theory and Weber's Social Action. The results of this study are that campus academic culture becomes a habit and becomes values and norms that have gone through an institutional process and are present in a tangible form. Overseas students absorb the objective world and try to strengthen their existence as students depending on their association. The next step is that overseas students try to display it. Campus academic culture is only considered as a requirement during lectures by overseas students or wetrationalat. Campus academic culture is not an indicator of the lifestyle that is displayed, overseas students tend to display a lifestyle in accordance with their previous interests or those they just discovered while undergoing lectures. Campus academic culture has a more positive impact on improving the ability of individual overseas students such as adding insight and changing mindsets that affect their lives.Keywords: Academic Culture, Overseas Students, and Lifestyle.

This study aims to determine the tourism potential in Aan Tourism Village and community participation in the development of Aan Tourism Village. Research carried out with descriptive qualitative methods is expected to increase insight and knowledge about community involvement, especially in the development of tourism villages. Aan Village has a variety of interesting tourism potentials in the form of views of hills, rice fields, waterfalls, and unspoiled rivers. In addition to nature-based tourist attractions, the people of Aan village have diverse and unique cultures and arts. Community involvement in developing Aan tourism village as a whole is quite optimal, which is more dominated by community members who have backgrounds and experience in tourism. Community involvement in tangible forms of energy includes participation in mutual aid activities, being a tour guide, and providing culinary. While in the form of property, among others, in the form of providing honey bee cultivation assets, facilities and exhibition places for craft art and painting. The driving factors for community participation in the development of Aan tourism village, which include willingness, ability and opportunity, are good. While the inhibiting factor in the development of Aan tourism village is still found a small number of community members who still do not understand about tourism and limited human resources who have skills in tourism.

Dynamics of the Deviant Subculture Klitih Gang and Al-Fatah Transgender Boarding School in Yogyakarta

Klitih gangs in Yogyakarta, as a tangible form of juvenile delinquency, cannot be separated from the construction of the failure of environmental socialization and socialization of adolescent life in modern times. This study used interpretive approach (qualitative). Researcher digs deeper into how cultural criminology views the deviant subculture of youth members of the Klitih Gang and the dynamics of the Al-Fatah Transgender Islamic Boarding School as accurate facts. This article focuses on discussing several aspects that are interconnected with the school of cultural criminology, including (1) cases of youth violence and street crime by gangs of Klitih as a form of crime as culture; (2) community construction related to culture as crime against transgender groups, especially in the Al-Fatah transgender Islamic boarding school, Yogyakarta; (3) discussion on the realm of existentialist criminology in its allusion to ways of life, style, and semiotics. This phenomenon creates anomie in the dynamics of social life and requires efforts to harmonize both from a juridical and sociological perspective.

The concept of melodic progression (Seyir) in Persian classical music

Melodic progression is one of the most essential elements of the “Mode” definition in Iranian and Arabic-Turkish music. There is a distinctive manifestation of this concept in Persian classical music due to the distinctive features of Dastgāh. This article aims to trace some continuities in the concept of melodic progression, reaching from the earliest medieval treatises, through the Safavid period, and into the modern era, when the Dastgāh became dominant. In this musical system the concept of melodic progression has recently been termed Seyir-e Naghmegi, where Seyir is used as an acronym for that concept. The purpose of this study is to explore the role and position of Seyir within the Dastgāhi system. So this study’s problems are: Due to the multi-layered structure of the Dastgāh, how many levels is the concept of Seyir defined? How are the different levels of the Seyir concept related to each other? The recent reports on Seyir in the literature on the subject, from the micro to macro levels, have been discussed separately. Thus, the purpose of the study was to come to a conclusion by describing different repertoire narrations and deductive reasoning in order to draw a conclusion. Using a descriptive-analytic approach, the article collected written information as library studies and discussed it. Manuscripts and treatises are also studied using the historical method. According to this study, the Seyir concept appears at three levels, each of which is independent, coherent, and contiguous. According to the article, the following three levels have been identified: Micro level: Gūsheh, Middle level: Āvāz, Macro level: Dastgāh. This study demonstrates that Seyir, as an abstract concept in a modal structure, does not define “melody” in any exact sense, thus forcing the melody to conform to the exact expression of the mode. The concept of Seyir in a Dastgāhi system, as a framework that is closed in the dimensions of seven Dastgāh-hā and five or with a grace of six Āvāz-hā, offers the possibility of endogenizing new modes on previously used platforms within the system. While the use of different permutations of the tetrachords and pentachords gives “98 Circles” the concept of Seyir can create infinite modes. In short, the Seyir in its general and common sense in the Iranian and Arabic-Turkish field refers to a set of modal aesthetic criteria that provides the basis for transforming mode into a definite and tangible form. As Seyir progresses from abstraction (sound scale) to determination (melody), it incorporates concepts such as melodic figures. In this regard, Seyir’s ability to organize new modes on a mutual scale with existing modes is expanded.

Book Reprography in Copyright

Books are evolving into one of the most important mass communication tools on the planet. As a result, buying books through manufacturing and distribution is a crucial form of mass communication. The research’s purpose is to explore book reprography in copyright. The researchers used qualitative approach with literature study as the research design. The data were generated from different literature, mainly relevant books and scientific articles. The researchers discovered that, under copyright law, the creator's exclusive right arises immediately based on the declarative principle after a work is realized in tangible form, subject to limitations in accordance with statutory and regulatory conditions.

A STUDY ON CLIENT’S EXPERIENCE OVER WEB PROTOTYPING FOR A PORTAL WITH REFERENCE TO ITC PRIVATE LIMITED

This project is “A STUDY ON CLIENT EXPERIENCE OVER WEB PROTOTYPE FOR A PORTAL WITH REFERENCE TO ITC PRIVATE LIMITED” The journey of developing a new product involves various steps. While it's tempting to dive head-first into the project, you'll do well to remember the adage – ''by failing to prepare, you prepare to fail''. Planning and testing your ideas before implementing them is the best way to ensure your brand can release the right products. That is what prototyping does – implement ideas into tangible form and explore their real-world impact before finally executing them.
 Let's get a closer understanding of what, how, and why of prototyping.
 A portal is a web-based platform that allows users to access information, applications, and services in one centralized location. Portals are commonly used in the e-commerce industry to manage inventory, track shipments, and monitor sales.
 Implementing the wire-frame approach requires careful planning and coordination between businesses and their vendors. It is essential to communicate with vendors to gather accurate information about their warehouse capacity and delivery schedules.
 Once this information has been collected, businesses can use the wire-frame approach to identify areas where they can improve their storage and distribution processes to maximize space utilization.
