The idea of a quality of life based on high handcraft-manufacturing requirements in their interaction with an industrialised society has an important part – beyond the particular case - in the Expo 2015 project. It’s in the post war period that in Milan the strategic question of a “social art” is raised, as defined by the experience of the artistic section of the Belgium Labor Party, put into practice in the activity of the Brussels People’s House. The research of better living collective standards sustained by a concrete commitment in the improvement of the social housing and the applied art system is expressed with a series of exhibi tions. In Milan with the Regional Lombard Exhibition of decorative arts of the Human Society in 1919 – contemporary to Bauhaus in Weimar- and later on with the Biennial of decorative arts in Monza (1923-1930) and again in Milan in 1933 with the 5th Triennial, (showcase of urban planning, industrial arts and most innovative artistic productions) that acquires immediately a world level. These issues are still today the driving force of the Milanese Triennial activity.

Theatre practice in Nigeria is facing a general decline due to factors that are very glaring. One of such factor is the digital culture that has forced citizens to live a private live that is more comfortable and thereby reducing patronage. In spite of this obvious fact our theatre is still ignoring the application of these digital network sites especially the social media in redeeming the declined image of the theatre industry. This study uses the literary and artistic methodologies to examine the video upload of Ahmed Yerima’s The Sisters with a view of creating a template for creating a pocket-friendly theatre through the social media. The study therefore, observes that most of the video uploads posted on social media sites are merely for social reasons without commercial drive. It also observes that theatre practitioners in Nigeria are not profit driven but social driven in the practice of their art. The paper therefore, recommends strongly a culture of video upload for commercial reasons, commercialization of websites in most Nigerian universities to generate money for the university and the theatre and improvement on the technical quality of the video uploads.

Abstract Brazil's current housing deficit exceeds 6 million homes and a demand of 10 million homes for low-income families is expected by 2040. On the other hand, during the last 10 years, approximately 850,000 social housing units have been delivered through the "My House, My Life" Program - (Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida - PMCMV). Despite these numbers, several studies suggest some problems related to the low quality of the houses. This article aims to investigate the design parameter related to the geometry of social housing in Chapecó/SC, Brazil, which contributes to the achievement of the best thermal performance. Parametric methods and multi-objective optimizations were utilized, two objective-functions were optimized regarding the degree-hours for cooling and heating. The results showed significant improvements, reaching up to 98% during the hot period and 49% during the cold period. Guidelines were defined to assist architects in the early-phases of the social housing design based on the climate of the target region. However, the best design solutions for thermal comfort throughout the year can only be indicated with computational methods.

When interacting on a learning task, which is typical of several academic situations, individuals may experience two different motives: Understanding the problem, or showing their competences. When a conflict (confrontation of divergent propositions) emerges from this interaction, it can be solved either in an epistemic way (focused on the task) or in a relational way (focused on the social comparison of competences). The latter is believed to be detrimental for learning. Moreover, research on cooperative learning shows that when they share identical information, partners are led to compare to each other, and are less encouraged to cooperate than when they share complementary information. An epistemic vs. relational conflict vs. no conflict was provoked in dyads composed by a participant and a confederate, working either on identical or on complementary information (N = 122). Results showed that, if relational and epistemic conflicts both entailed more perceived interactions and divergence than the control group, only relational conflict entailed more perceived comparison activities and a less positive relationship than the control group. Epistemic conflict resulted in a more positive perceived relationship than the control group. As far as performance is concerned, relational conflict led to a worse learning than epistemic conflict, and - after a delay - than the control group. An interaction between the two variables on delayed performance showed that epistemic and relational conflicts were different only when working with complementary information. This study shows the importance of the quality of relationship when sharing information during cooperative learning, a crucial factor to be taken into account when planning educational settings at the university.

Of Greece

The percentage of victimization of Dutch Jewry during the Shoah is the highest of Western, Central and Southern Europe (except, perhaps of Greece), and close to the Polish one: 75%, more than 104.000 souls. The question of disproportion between the apparent favorable status of the Jews in society – they had acquired emancipation in 1796 - and the disastrous outcome of the Nazi occupation as compared to other countries in general and Western European in particular has haunted Dutch historiography of the Shoah. Who should be blamed for that outcome: the perpetrators, i.e. the Germans, the bystanders, i.e. the Dutch or the victims, i.e. the Dutch Jews? The article first surveys the answers given to this question since the beginnings of Dutch Holocaust historiography in the immediate post-war period until the debates of today and the factors that influenced the shaping of some basic perceptions on “Dutch society and the Jews”. It then proceeds to detailing several facts from the Holocaust period that are essential for an evaluation of gentile attitudes. The article concludes with the observation that – in spite of ongoing debates – the overall picture which has accumulated after decades of research will not essentially being altered. Although the Holocaust was initiated, planned and carried out from Berlin, and although a considerable number of Dutchmen helped and hid Jews and the majority definitely despised the Germans, considerable parts of Dutch society contributed to the disastrous outcome of the Jewish lot in the Netherlands – through a high amount of servility towards the German authorities, through indifference when Jewish fellow-citizens were persecuted, through economically benefiting from the persecution and from the disappearance of Jewish neighbors, and through actual collaboration (stemming from a variety of reasons). Consequently, the picture of the Holocaust in the Netherlands is multi-dimensional, but altogether puzzling and not favorable.
