A Plan and Strategy on Garden Creation for National Garden Designation: Focused on Worasan Garden in Jinju, South Korea

Background and objective: This study was conducted to establish a plan and promotion strategies for designating Worasan Garden in Jinju as a national garden.Methods: First, we examined the legal designation requirements and related regulations of national gardens through literature reviews, field investigations, and interviews regarding Suncheonman National Garden and Taehwagang National Garden, which were designated. We also conducted case studies on the organizational structure for national garden designation in terms of administration; spatial composition, major plant materials, and facilities in terms of garden planning; operating hours, management/operation organizations, and other garden characteristics in terms of operation.Results: The concept and designation requirements of national gardens are set by law. Worasan Garden is located in the gentle mountain area of Worasan, where forests damaged by forest fires in the past were restored by the voluntary effort of citizens, and is connected to four villages with the rural landscape. By converging the climate and vegetation of the southern region with the mountain topography, rural culture, and historical resources, Worasan Garden can be planned as a national garden with differentiation and identity. To effectively promote national garden designation, it is first necessary to hold garden expansion campaigns such as citizen publicity and garden education to obtain citizens' positive awareness, support, and participation. The garden hinterland must be designated as a green district to prevent sprawl. Cooperation with local residents, experts, and related organizations, as well as training in human resources, are also needed. Events such as a garden expo are required to improve the image. There must also be garden publicity and marketing as well as regional tourism. It is also necessary to establish garden-related ordinances and integrated plans.Conclusion: The Jinju government must first register Worasan Garden as a local garden. It is necessary to establish a creation plan and implementation strategies to meet the requirements for national garden designation from the point where preparations are made for a local garden. The garden must be planned and designed so that it has an identity as a national garden and is differentiated from others by combining the symbol of forest restoration in Worasan Mountain, the characteristics of the forest landscape in the southern region, and the image of urban countryside villages that represent the historical and cultural resources of Jinju. The implementation strategies require a bottom-up resident participation plan by obtaining positive awareness, support, and participation of citizens for national gardens, establishing laws and systems, and performing administrative or financial tasks.

More destructive than guns: contagious epidemic fever and public health in Lisbon, 1810-1812

The paper analyzes the controversy on the contagious epidemic fever in Lisbon between 1810 and 1811. Occurred during the last French invasion in Portugal, the epidemic was caused, among other factors, by the intense migratory flow of refugees displaced to the capital from countryside villages. Faced with the spread of the disease, the health services of Lisbon put in place preventive measures to curb its reach and disseminated preventive guidelines to the population. However, after French retreat in the early spring of 1811, the status of the epidemic itself, as well as the legitimacy of the measures taken, would be the subject of intense dispute. We propose an analysis of the controversy between Henrique Xavier Baeta, a navy physician who reported the events in theMemória sobre a febre epidêmica contagiosa (1812), and the editors ofJornal de Coimbra, who published a critical examination of Baeta’s book. For the latter, the main disease in those months would have been dysentery rather than fever, and its extent, much smaller than that reported by Baeta. The paper aims to show how different conceptions of disease and health underpinned both sides of the debate that spanned months in local newspapers. The analysis focuses on three of the main axes of the dispute: the effectiveness of the quarantine methods applied, the dispute over the most appropriate fumigation techniques, and the ability of Lisbon's public health services to respond to the crisis.

Age-Dependency of Cardiometabolic Risk and Protective Factors in Females Living in a Countryside Area of Switzerland.

We investigated the effect of age on cardiometabolic risk and protective factors in females living in a countryside area of Switzerland. For this cross-sectional analysis, data from 268 female adults, who live in two neighboring countryside villages in Italian-speaking Switzerland were retained. 89 study participants were premenopausal, 82 climacteric and 97 postmenopausal. Television viewing time, short duration of sleep, overweight, blood pressure, levels of atherogenic lipids and glycated hemoglobin significantly increased with age. Walking time also significantly increased with age. Tobacco smoking was more common among premenopausal women. It is concluded that in these countryside villages climacteric and postmenopausal women generally have an unfavorable cardiometabolic risk profile. On the other side, low physical activity and smoking are, compared to premenopausal and climacteric women, less prevalent in postmenopausal women.

Requiescat in Pace: Analysis of the Rules on the Prohibition of Funerals during the COVID-19 Emergency in Italy (Presentation Slides)

For centuries art, music, and literature have described the individual and collective backlash due to a pandemic, even though today our society has forgotten these circumstances, thanks to the medical and technological advancement, with all the systemic consequences entailed to the difficulty of stopping the contagion, including burials.In a small village in the Italian countryside an elderly person passed away, it is not known whether or not affected by COVID-19, but due to the contagion and the rules that prohibited public, religious or civil cerimonies, the lady's funeral was not able to take place according to the usual ritual and with the collective participation of family members and the local community. The announcement of her death and her leave-taking were given in a completely exceptional way: instead of the usual affiche published by the funeral home and payed by the family, the announcement was made through Facebook, from the mayor's page, in a participatory and emotional tone, with a mixture of secularism and religion: “This morning we gave our last farewell at the cemetary to Ms. XX, aged ..., mother of YX, her home was at …. Her remains were blessed by the priest. The Mayor was there in representation of all those who would have liked to participate, and who were unable since the restrictions for the ongoing coronavirus emergency. The condolences of all our community to the family. The Mayor". Another image that became well-known worldwide concerned the row of military trucks that carried the coffins of the deceased people from the cemetery of Bergamo (one of the most affected places in Italy) to the cremation sites in other regions.These sad episodes show of how much the ban forbidding public funeral of whom passed away was intrusive and affected entire communities, both in countryside villages, and in towns.The farewell cerimonies to deceased is a deeply felt moment, where the communities gather together with the affected family for helping each other to mourne the beloved one who passed away: in fact the burial of the deads is a universal rule. Between 9 March and 4 May 2020, Italian law was very intrusive in this severance, forbidding funerals with criminal penalties. Although the Italian state is increasingly secularized, the farewell cerimonies are still strongly linked to religious tradition, although secular rites are growing.The aim of this abstract is to verify what was the impact in Italy of the interdictive legal rules about funeral ceremonies on the life of people who have suffered individuals and, at the same time, collective mourning.

"Artistic Research on Socially and Environmentally Engaged Art - Ethics of Gathering

Art symposiums and similar gatherings in which international artists come together to collaborate are a longstanding tradition of the global art world. In 2019, artists and environmental researchers and experts were invited to work with a local school on environmental issues to create place-specific art and scientific collaborations. Three interdisciplinary teams focused on locally current topics. In this article, we present the process of one of them: the freshwater pearl mussels sub-project. In addition, we discuss the research practice of the International Socially Engaged Art Symposium and the ethics related to the gathering. The research practice included various forms of dialogue, such as presentations, structured group discussions, reflections, mentoring and art-based practice with community members. Tight living together in a humble, small house supported the dialogue. Environmental issues, critical environmentalist thinking and the ethics of the practices were discussed in the process. The ethical elements of the symposium were considered during the processes of defining the themes and aims, curating and producing the event, respecting peer artists and researchers, interacting respectfully with the surrounding community such as school children and community members in countryside villages, and non-human nature, considering the environmental footprint of the symposium and aiming for a meaningful ecological handprint. The documentation, data collection and research reporting also considered ethical issues. The research is part of a cyclic development of art symposiums as socially and environmentally engaged events.

Status and Distribution of Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) in the South Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India

The Indian Peafowls (Pavo crisatus) is Least Concern (LC) category on Red list and Schedule I species as per Wildlife Protection Act (1972) in India. Indian Peafowl (Pavo crisatus) population status and distribution was studied in South Coimbatore district especially in Polllachi area from August 2017 to January 2018. The study carried out in 13 villages in South Coimbatore including Nchavelampalayam, Chandrapuram, Kollupalayam, Chellampalayam, Marampudungigoundanur, Athanaripalayam, Kotturmalayandipattinam, Vallakundapuram, Vedasanthur, Kanchampalayam, Sangampalayam, Angalankuruchi, Paramadaiyur Village etc. From the present study, 405 direct sighting consists of 1283 Peafowls in 13 villages were recorded. Based on the Group wise of Peafowls showed that Mixed group(MIG) contain 50.37% followed by Male female group(MFG) stand for 40.74%, Female chick group(FCG) contains 4.19%, Female group(FG) with the percentage of 3.95%, and Male group(MG) which constitute of 0.74% were recorded. Based on Peafowls classification, Females Peafowls consist of 59.85% followed by 17.77% of Peacock, 13.09% Peafowls chicks, 9.27% sub adults Peafowls were observed. According to the Peafowls habitat, the study area categorized into mixed forest (MFL) habitat, Agricultural Land (AL) and Coconut farmland (CFL). Maximum of Peafowls observed in Coconut farmland (CFL) comprised of 44.33% followed by the mixed forest land (MFL) habitat consists of 36.20% and very low in Agricultural Land (AL) 19.45% of Peafowls were occupied. As a result of habitat thrashing, absence of predation and easy accessibility of food, climate change influence of Peafowls interested in countryside villages.

Algorithmic handwriting analysis of the Samaria inscriptions illuminates bureaucratic apparatus in biblical Israel.

Past excavations in Samaria, capital of biblical Israel, yielded a corpus of Hebrew ink on clay inscriptions (ostraca) that documents wine and oil shipments to the palace from surrounding localities. Many questions regarding these early 8th century BCE texts, in particular the location of their composition, have been debated. Authorship in countryside villages or estates would attest to widespread literacy in a relatively early phase of ancient Israel's history. Here we report an algorithmic investigation of 31 of the inscriptions. Our study establishes that they were most likely written by two scribes who recorded the shipments in Samaria. We achieved our results through a method comprised of image processing and newly developed statistical learning techniques. These outcomes contrast with our previous results, which indicated widespread literacy in the kingdom of Judah a century and half to two centuries later, ca. 600 BCE.

The Casse Processionali of Genoese and Ligurian Brotherhoods. Patronage, Preeminence, and Preservation of Anton Maria Maragliano’s Multi-Figured Processional Sculptures

In the territory of the Republic of Genoa, religious brotherhoods left their enduring mark on society from their 13th-century foundations until their dramatic suppression under French domination in 1811. Those in the countryside villages that continued to exist played (and still play) a crucial role not only in the preservation of pre-modern traditions, but also in the conservation of monumental works of art commissioned by Genoese and Ligurian casacce (confraternities). This essay focuses on the remarkably vibrant, polychrome wood sculptural groups that were borne aloft in their processions, then venerated as cult objects in oratories and churches. The development of casse processionali from the mid-16thcentury to their extraordinary profusion in the 18th century and the remarkable history of their preservation bear witness to the evocative and highly influential new concepts for these multi-figured groups created by their greatest exponent, Anton Maria Maragliano (1664–1739).

Survey of Rodent Species at Three Habitats and Control it by Use Change Base Carrier of Zinc Phosphide bait Technique in Sohag Governorate

Rodent cause major economic losses in man food item and often hinder production also, inflict health to people and live-stock in villages. Sohag one of the upper Egyptian Governorates is similarity in weather, agriculture and housing structure and lifestyle. Rodent species survey and calculate density in three different habitats to know the distribution shape and number development beside use change the base carrier of zinc phosphide bait technique when use more time to increase effectiveness in rodent control programs. Five species at family Muridae recorded in Akhmim district (Sohag Governorate) through 2014-2016 in the tested habitats, R. rattus, R. norvegicus, A. niloticus, A. cahirinus and M. musculus. The average number of all rodent species at two years was 689 rats and mice, 187.5 in field crops, 180.5 in vegetable city market and 321 in countryside village. Each habitat are discrimination of one specie, A. niloticus in field crops, A. cahirinus in countryside village and M.musculus in vegetable city market. R. rattus and R. norvegicus spread in the three habitats, R. norvegicus the predominant species in field crops only and R. rattus in other two habitats. The highest density of all recorded species was during spring then summer, whereas autumn and winter respectively. Using technique food base carrier at zinc phosphide bait 0.5% change in the next application after 15 delayed to increase the population reduction of rodent to 88.2 % and 84.6 % when change maize bait by wheat bait compared with applied the same food carrier of crushed maize over once after 15 day the reduction were 69 % and 71.7 % in countryside village and field crops respectively. The bait shyness of zinc phosphide reduce with change food bias carrier in the next application after 15 day the bait intake were (135 and 147 (g)) compared apply the same first bait after 15 day, bait intake were 22 and 26 g to each countryside village and field crops respectively

بررسی هویت از زبان ساکنان محلی به مبنای نظری بازنمایی اجتماعی مربوط است. در این ارتباط باید به گفتمان‌های محلی اشاره کرد. روستای حومه‌ای دره مرادبیگ در فاصله سه کیلومتری از مرکز شهر همدان بر اثر جریان‌های شهرگریزی و تکامل روستا با استفاده از امکانات شهری تغییر هویت داده‌ است. دره مرادبیگ از قدیم برای مردم همدان مکانی تفریحی با هویت ویلانشینی و گذراندن اوقات فراغت بوده است. با توجه به طرح توسعه روستا‌ها، هویت مکانی روستای دره مرادبیگ تحت تأثیر تحولات اخیر چگونه باید باشد؟ با تغییرات صورت‌گرفته هویت مکان برای افراد با سنین مختلف چگونه است؟ از نظر هانری لوفور، فضا عاملی سیاسی و اجتماعی است که هویت مکان آن بر اساس عوامل درونی و بیرونی است. هالفکری بر اساس این مدل، هویت روستاها را برآمده از موقعیت‌های روستا، بازنمودهای رسمی و زندگی روزمره روستاییان می‌داند. نتایج تحقیق نشان می‌دهد برای پاسخگویی به نیاز ساکنان با سنین مختلف و به منظور هویت‌بخشی در الگوی مسکن ویلایی و روستایی باید توسعه عمرانی و امکانات شهری در روستا لحاظ شود. همچنین فضاهای جمعی مرکز محله، قابلیت‌های طبیعی، فرهنگی و اکولوژیکی رودخانه آلوسجرد و سرمایه اجتماعی باید با سازماندهی و دستیابی به بافت ترکیبی افزایش یابد.

Landholding and Agriculture in Late Ramesside Theban Documents

Summary: Agriculture and land management are recurring topics in the Late Ramesside Letters. Eight of them completed with P Turin Cat 2084 and P Berlin 8523 illustrate the agricultural methods used for farming cereals, fruits and vegetables in the late New Kingdom. They show that although necessitating extra work, artificial irrigation was frequent on small parcels located on ı͗db, nḫb or ꜤmꜤm types of land. The two traditional categories of landholding, institutional and private, are distinguished, but their management overlapped when the landholder was involved in both systems. People farming the land pertained to the Necropolis workers, the memorial temple of Ramesses III, the Necropolis scribes household, or were sharecropper peasants living in countryside villages. Landholders behave as managerial landlords while technical terms specify the juridical frame within which subaltern people farmed the land. The land was assigned (swḏ) to them and they were responsible for fulfilling the “mission of the fields” (sḥn Ꜣḥt) at the risk of having their right to till the land withdrawn (nḥm) if they failed.

Space and Language Learning under the Neoliberal Economy

Neoliberalism, as an ideology that valorizes and institutionalizes market-based freedom and individual entrepreneurship, derives from the logic of highly advanced capitalism, and thus must be understood in relation to the material conditions of our capitalist economy. One such material condition is space. However, the intersection of space and neoliberalism is yet to be explored in detail within the field of applied linguistics. This lacuna impedes our understanding of the social and geographical embeddedness of language, in particular the dialectic between language learning and political economy. The key question we address in this paper is: how are trajectories of language learning under the neoliberal economy shaped in spatial terms? Through looking at two cases—the re-invention of the countryside village of Yangshuo as the biggest English corner in China and the Korean phenomena of jogi yuhak [early study abroad]—we argue 1) that a heightened awareness of the link between language learning, space, and mobility will allow us to explore the material constraints and inequalities of language learning with greater sensitivity, and 2) that a focus on the spatial grounding of language learning can allow applied linguistics to make a unique contribution to the critique of neoliberalism.

Design of a novel constructed treatment wetland system with consideration of ambient landscape

A ‘fan-shape’ constructed wetland (CW) system is designed to treat domestic wastewater as well as to provide an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sensitive landscape with ornamental plants for recreation. The system consists of two-stage subsurface horizontal flow CW cells with dewatered alum sludge cakes as the main substrate to ensure the treatment efficiency. The system is located in a new countryside village in Northwest China. The paper presents the design considerations of the CW together with the surrounding landscape to create an integrated CW (ICW). The study attempts to show how the wastewater infrastructure of CW can be an attractive feature in a community; bringing utility and beauty together, and serving needs for education, recreation and habitat conservation, through integrating engineering and landscape design.

Variations of Freedom: Naturalism and Existentialism in Maria Jotuni’s novella Arkielämää This article analyses Maria Jotuni’s (1880–1943) novella Arkielämää (Everyday Life, 1909) as an early version of the existentialist novel in Finnish literature. I discuss Jotuni’s work in the context of the cultural revolt against 19th-century literary traditions. It is my contention that Jotuni’s work can be considered as a hybrid text combining features both from naturalist and existentialist novels. On one hand, the novella draws from the naturalist ideal of the everyday by exploring the occasional events of quotidian life during a single day – the lives of ordinary people in a remote countryside village, focusing especially on women and their fortunes in love while also unfolding the primitive in human nature. However, by means of a comparative analysis and by studying the figure of the vagabond Nyman in particular, I demonstrate how Jotuni’s work is also rooted in the existentialist novel tradition emerging from Dostoyevsky’s works. The existentialist aesthetics inscribed in Arkielämää reconfigures primitive naturalism into a new form. Despite feelings of anxiety and estrangement, the continuation of life by nature and daily communication establish a positive “counterforce” to balance the entropic, naturalist vision.

Iraqi Buffalo Now

Buffaloes in Iraq represent the most productive animal since its domestication in Mesopotamia about 1 pre-historic era recently, domesticated buffaloes all over country go through drastic factors from (1980_2006), such as (gulf wars, marsh drainage, rinder pest plaque, economic blockade ) which are attributed to widely changes in animal environment ,geographical sites, and dangerous decline in buffalo population accompanied by reduced fertility and feed shortage, resulted in switch of buffalo raising and started to work on another easy jobs .lastly American war in 2003 lead to marsh return and finally ethnic-fighting release, so thousands of buffalo breeders (Madan) started a big mass moving from hot-spot area around Baghdad countryside villages nearer to conflicting sectors in Anbar and sallah aldin provinces towards southern marshes (natural habitats before along time).This new theater encouraged Iraqi government represented by Ministry of agriculture through three involved companies to put strategic plane for buffalo development in future.
