This chapter introduces the material to be studied in Part II; it outlines the types of evidence for functional domestic artefacts that reveal the experiences of daily life in Roman and late antique Egypt. It explains that an analysis of object function can reveal how objects were used for different activities on a day-to-day basis, and therefore demonstrate some of the experiences of people in the past. The section assesses a range of everyday artefacts in durable materials, like stone, glass, ceramic, metals, and bone and ivory. Artefacts associated with daily activities such as cooking and dining, lighting the home, leisure time, and textile production are discussed in relation to specific examples from the archaeological record and textual sources. The section also addresses the extraordinary organic artefacts surviving from Egypt, and the special value of functional artefacts made of wood, textiles, leather, and other perishable materials. Organic artefacts associated with home furnishings and other textiles, writing tools and materials, basketry, and cleaning equipment, are discussed in relation to the experiences they facilitated in Roman and late antique Egypt. The chapter also discusses how these artefacts reveal the temporal rhythms of the home and multifunctional nature of domestic space and objects.

This study integrates the theory of multiple selves within the theoretical framework of dynamic motivational activation (DMA) to identify the dynamic patterns of multiple self-concepts (i.e., the potential self, the actual self) in multitasking (e.g., primary and secondary activities) in daily life. A three-week experience sampling study was conducted on college students. Dynamic panel modeling results suggest that the self-concepts are both sustaining and shifting in daily activities and media activities. Specifically, the potential and actual selves sustained themselves over time in primary and secondary activities, but they also shifted from one to another to achieve a balance in primary activities over time. Interestingly, secondary activities were not driven by the alternative self-concept in primary activities, but instead, by the emotional experiences of primary activities. Furthermore, the findings identified that multitasking to fulfill their actual self did not motivate people to re-prioritize their potential self later.

Ethno-ornithology is the study of the relationship between people and birds. It is a natural scientific approach that explains the relationship between people’s knowledge and the use of birds in their culture. Temuan community is one of the aborigine ethnics in Malaysia. They practice lifestyles that closely associated with nature. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the ethno-ornithology knowledge and practice by Temuan Community lived around the Gunung Ledang National Park, Johor, Malaysia. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 40 respondents from the Temuan community to gather the information of birds used in their daily activities. In addition, the information was also obtained from the interview session with the head of the village (Tok Batin). The identification of the birds obtained from the questionnaire and interview was further confirmed by using reliable resources. A total of 29 bird species was successfully identified. Temuan community used birds in their daily life in many ways such as, food, pet, folklore, entertainment, and many more. Understanding ethno-ornithology between local community and avifauna is good as it helps conservationists to keep track of bird species they use and identify the sustainable ways of this practice that align with the conservation of avifauna species.

Abstract Objective There is a need to identify determinants of neurocognitive impairment among older persons living with HIV (PLHIV). Utilizing smartphone-based Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and mobile cognitive testing, we examined the relationships between daily life activities and real-world neurocognitive performance among older PLHIV and HIV-uninfected adults. Method Ninety-one participants (58 PLHIV; Mage = 59.4, SD = 6.4), 70.3% male, 65.9% non-Hispanic white, completed four smartphone-based EMA surveys of daily activities and one mobile color-word interference test (mCWIT) per day for 14 days. Daily activities were grouped into five categories: activities of daily living (ADLs, IADLs), cognitively demanding activities, socially-engaging activities, physical activity (PA), and passive leisure activity (watching TV). Data was collapsed across the 14 days to examine between-person effects of the proportion of time reportedly spent on each activity on neurocognitive outcomes (the average correct responses and completion time for the mCWIT). Results No effect was found for engaging in activities by HIV status; however, PLHIV had significantly longer times on the mCWIT compared to persons without HIV (t = 2.49; 95% CI: 0.60, 5.37; p = 0.02). In a multivariable regression model accounting for HIV status, a greater proportion of time spent watching TV was associated with slower average mCWIT performance (beta = 9.41; 95% CI: 1.88,17.0; p = 0.01). There were no relationships between other domains of daily life activities and mCWIT performance. Conclusion Our findings provide evidence that more time spent watching TV is associated with slower mCWIT performance. Future work examining the time-lagged relationships between these variables is needed to understand whether watching TV decreases real-time neurocognitive performance.

The growth of interest in urban and housing history during recent decades has produced a large volume of studies that has examined broad societal parameters, or themes, such as housing policies, economics and legislation. Concurrently, a growing volume of historical research about households and families has been published, but few studies examine the lifestyles and values of the residents. In sum, there rarely has been any systematic analysis of how longitudinal developments in domestic life are related to developments in the spatial layout, the meaning and use of shared and private spaces and the daily activities these accommodate. In general, the inter-relations between the architectural, cultural and societal dimensions of housing history have commonly been overlooked. This paper argues why, and then illustrates how, integrative concepts and methods can be applied to diversify and enrich recurrent interpretations by referring to a published study of urban housing and daily life in the French- speaking cantons of Switzerland between 1860 and 1960.1

This paper uses the work of Late Antique (4th-6th century) Latin poets to demonstrate the ways that pre-modern sources can be a part of scholarly discussions of the development of environmental imaginations and can usefully contribute to the development of the environmental humanities. The three poets (Ausonius, Sidonius Apollinaris, and Venantius Fortunatus) have many works that explore and describe nature; one theme that emerges is that they closely connected the rivers of Gaul to their concerns over political and cultural identity. Rivers, including the Rhone and the Mosel, were intricately woven into the daily life and cultural identities of 4th-6th century Gaul, and were both tangible and fluid political boundaries. These poems use rivers to confirm cultural identities, validate the Christian cultural experience, and express broader cultural and political concerns about cultural integration and hybridity. Resumen En este ensayo se utilizan textos de poetas latinos de la antigüedad tardía (siglos IV y VI) para demostrar cómo algunos recursos pre-modernos pueden formar parte de discusiones académicas sobre el desarrollo de la imaginación ambiental y contribuir al desarrollo de las humanidades ambientales. Los tres poetas que se discuten aquí—Ausonio, Sidonio Apolinar y Venancio Fortunato—tienen obras que exploran y describen la naturaleza. Uno de los temas que surgen es que ellos conectan los ríos de la Galia con su  preocupación por la identidad política y cultural.  Algunos ríos, entre ellos el Ródano y el Mosela, eran fronteras políticas fluidas y tangibles que estaban intrincadamente relacionadas con la vida diaria y las identidades culturales de la Galia durante los siglos IV y VI. Estos poemas usan los ríos para confirmar las identidades culturales, validar la experiencia cultural cristiana, y expresar profundas inquietudes culturales y políticas sobre la integración cultural y la hibridez.

Today, most of believers are still relying on their strenght and taught to do thier daily activities. Sometimes, they are forget that they still need helps and God’s intervention. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised that he would send the Holy Spirit to His disciples (Luke 24: 49).  Not just that promise, He also promised that He would be with them until  the end of the age (Mat. 28: 20). These passages show that God takes the roles in believers daily life.

O cotidiano compreende as atividades laborais, de lazer, de estudo, de autocuidado, de convívio social, entre outras, sendo também considerado como uma perspectiva de análise e intervenção orientadora da prática do terapeuta ocupacional. A condição de deficiência pode, muitas vezes, afetar a realização dessas atividades. O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as dificuldades e possibilidades de realização de atividades cotidianas de jovens com deficiência. Com base no método Photovoice, que prioriza o ponto de vista do pesquisado, quatro jovens realizaram fotografias de atividades, locais, ou objetos relevantes em seu dia-a-dia, em uma semana típica de suas rotinas. Uma segunda rodada de fotografias referentes aos obstáculos enfrentados cotidianamente foi realizada, e apenas dois jovens participaram. A análise das fotografias ocorreu em conjunto com os participantes, quando relataram individualmente para a pesquisadora o contexto e motivos de realização das fotos. No texto comparou-se os registros de dois jovens, identificando diferenças extremas em seus cotidianos. O relato e reflexão sobre as fotos foi considerado significativo para um dos participantes que afirmou ter gostado de realizar os registros fotográficos. Pelas imagens, registradas pode-se observar que um dos participantes tem menos oportunidades de participação social, uma vez que seus registros foram todos realizados dentro de sua casa. Ambos participantes registraram limitações voltadas sobretudo às condições de acessibilidade arquitetônica e geográfica, seja dentro de casa ou em espaços de uso coletivo, revelando a grande interferência desses impedimentos para sua vida cotidiana. Abstract The daily life is marked by work, leisure, study, self-care, social interation, also considered as a perspective and analysis of the occupational therapist's practice. The disability condition can often affect the performance of these activities. The article aims to present the difficulties and possibilities of carrying out daily activities of young people with disabilities. Based on the Photovoice method, which prioritizes from the subject's point of view, the youngsters took photographs of relevant activities, places, or objects in their daily life in a typical week of their routines. A second round of photographs regarding the obstacles faced daily was held, and only two young people participated.. The analysis of the photographs occurred together with the participants, when they individually reported to the researcher the context and reasons for the photos. In the text, the records of the two young people were compared, identifying extreme differences in their daily lives. The report and reflection on the photos was considered significant for one of the participants, who liked to carry out the photographic records. From the recorded images, it can be observed that one of the participants has fewer opportunities for social participation, since their records were all carried out inside their house. Both participants registered limitations mainly on the architectural and geographical accessibility conditions, either indoors or in spaces of collective use, revealing the great interference of these impediments to their daily life.Keywords: Daily life; Photography; Young with disabilities; Occupational therapy.

Este artículo contiene los resultados de la investigación sobre el papel de las mujeres otomíes en la transmisión del idioma en el ámbito de la vida cotidiana. Se buscó rescatar la relevancia del idioma materno para el funcionamiento de la vida social de los otomíes y reconocer la relevante función de las mujeres para que el otomí siga siendo un idioma vivo. Este es, particularmente para las mujeres, el referente generacional, la herramienta a través de la cual han adquirido un amplio reservorio de saberes. Desde el confinamiento de sus roles tradicionales, ellas encuentran en la esfera doméstica un espacio de privacidad y de confianza para hablarlo y forjar el respeto de los demás. La práctica cotidiana de sus saberes femeninos en ese espacio constituye uno de los vehículos que prolonga la vigencia y el desarrollo de su idioma. ABSTRACTThis article analyses the role of Otomí women in the transmission of language by carrying out activities of daily life. The focus is on two points. First, it is analyzed the importance of language within social life for the Otomí women and men; and second, to make visible the importance of women to keep the Otomí language alive. Through generations, the language for women has been a tool to have and conserve local knowledge that allows them to accomplish their female daily activities and fulfill their social roles. Local language is not only important for women to carry out specific daily female activities, but also by speaking it, women acquire respect. Women feel confident and find a space for privacy in the domestic sphere to speak their local language. Therefore, the domestic life for women represents an opportunity for them to conserve and develop their Otomí language.
