This article analyses a selection of pop music videos released between 2012 and 2014 that rescript Berlin’s Zeitlichkeit (temporality), the relationship between city spaces, history, and time. Examples include videos by German and non-German artists, ranging from David Bowie to Miss Platnum, Lilly Wood & the Prick, Alanis Morissette and Andreas Bourani. Striking synergies between the different sound-image-texts emerge around questions of historic memory, time, and time passing. Close analyses show how these Berlin music videos released between 2012 and 2014 challenge linear narratives of pasts and progress. In the non-linear conceptions of time suggested in these videos and songs, new and old agents can coexist and create images and narratives of a different temporal tapestry of the city.

In this research paper, the relationship between the athletics standard of a badminton player and his psychological diathesis would be discussed. The purpose of this research paper is to support the psychological selection of a badminton player theoretically. In this research paper, it analyzes 57 players’ spatial memory, movement memory, time reaction, attention distribution, attention concentration, intelligence, and personality through 16 different observation factors. Based on the observation and analysis, it could be concluded that a player’s intelligence and psychological ability are closely connected with partial variable and multiterm variable of attention. Also, a player’s intelligence and psychological ability are closely connected with his athletics level. In another word, if a badminton player has a higher intelligence, and better psychological diathesis, he may have a higher athletics standard.

Two consecutive analytical tools are presented here: MaPA (Map of Audiovisual Performance) and EdiPA (Audiovisual Performance Edition). I introduce these tools as a possible way of organizing and representing the content of music videos as primary sources of analysis. Both tools aim at understanding the interrelationsof the trinomial text-sound-image which is fundamental to the interaction between musical performance and its context. The construction of a MaPA begins with the selection of isolated photograms or a sequence of photograms extracted from a video with the intention to show the relationships between music and staging elements (facial expressions, larger body gestures, props, lighting, camera effects, image manipulation, filming techniques etc.). The EdiPA is built to graphically highlight fundamental sound elements which are transcribed from the video with some kind of music notation (such as the traditional score, lead sheets, graphics, spectrograms etc.) over which photograms from MaPAs are overlaid with its respective video timings (in minutes and seconds) and a succinct textual information to facilitate the comprehension of the text-sound-image trinomial. The use of both analytical tools is illustrated here with various types of MaPAs and EdiPAs samples, from simple ones to more complex ones. I also propose the recognition of three types of music video recordings (illustrated here with performances of Brazilian singer Elis Regina and singer-composer Caetano Veloso), which consider the interference of the video direction and the levels of freedom and planning of the  musicians’ performance: (1) non-spontaneous performances, (2) quasi-spontaneous performances (3) spontaneous performances.

To make the city biomimetic does not mean necessarily to copy nature, but rather to pursue processes analogous to natural ones, diluting the boundaries between nature and cit. Thinking like a forest when approaching urbanism, might lead to sympathize with natural boundaries. The title of this paper reprises a short chapter, “Thinking like a Mountain”, by the great American ecologist Aldo Leopold, published in The Sand County Almanac in 1949. The first part of the paper recall how the relationship between nature and architecture has been understood in the past, quoting some theories, from Abbé Laugier to Christopher Alexander, to Gilles Deleuze, to Peter Wohlleben. In the second part of the paper some reflections are made on a selection of projects that since the 1970s have sought to mitigate the destructive effects of the city on the ecology proposing a closer relationship with nature.

This chapter provides methods and models for thinking about avant-garde and experimental films and videos that incorporate popular music. It sketches the history of intersections between avant-gardists and popular music. It also provides close readings of works by Kenneth Anger, Bruce Connor, Joseph Cornell, Derek Jarman, Tony Oursler, Pipilotti Rist, Andy Warhol and others. It claims that institutional, formal and cultural constraints not only limit the frequency with which avant-gardists participate with pop musicians and pop music, they also colour the audiovisual relations within the works themselves. Avant-garde films and videos with pop soundtracks emphasise particular kinds of audiovisual relation—relations that differ from sound-image connections in narrative films, YouTube clips, commercials and music videos. It is demonstrated that this experimental subgenre embodies a unique sort of sound-image relation and suggests, finally, that these videos can expand our knowledge of audiovisual relations more broadly.

Clever decision making in the selection of building materials is a topic that focuses on important aspects of the building industry.‏ The materials used in the facade of the building not only affect the appearance of the building and the city but also affect the environmental, social, economic, energy efficiency and other kinds of aspects. Considering the importance of this issue, in this research, the city of Tehran‏ was studied in terms of building materials and tried to solve the problems of Tehran by identifying and analyzing the current situation. Statistical analysis was performed using R software packages version 3.5.0 and Microsoft Excel. The most important result of the data is that travertine has been identified as the most commonly used material in Tehran since the past 10 years. In this research, after examining the various types of materials used in the facade of the buildings in Tehran, we seek to discover the relationship between the type of building materials and the building age. In addition, after examining sample buildings, several common types of combinations of materials have been presented in the facades of Tehran's buildings. Keywords: building materials, building facade, travertine

The selection of species which show the highest possible tolerance to negative habitat conditions, also among plants of foreign origin, is a pressing issue. One of the species we would like to recommend for planting in urban areas is the white mulberry species (Morus alba) due to both its outstanding adaptability and its ecosystem services. There are no reliable studies on the distribution of this species in urbanized areas in Poland, nor sufficient analyses of the methods of its renewal, both deliberate and spontaneous spread through self-seeding. Collecting data on the population of an alien species within individual regions and forecasting potential changes in the population’s size and structure, as well as its possible impacts on other organisms, is one of the basic measures to reduce biological invasions, which is one of the six priority objectives of the European Biodiversity Strategy and an element of the Strategy on Invasive Alien Species. The aim of this study was to determine the size and structure of the white mulberry population in the city of Wrocław and to analyse the relationship between this structure and intensity of anthropopressure and thermal conditions.

This study examined the relationship between wages and house rents in the cities level. Merely, the existence of the housing market in the suburb is an critical component to explain relations between two market in two spaces. By applying practical and theoretical considerations, the house rents in suburb are included in this general equilibrium model. We utilize mathematical modeling to find some optimal equations in two markets to know the new relationship between wages and rents in the city level.  An estimation using Non-Linear Seemingly Unrelated Regression to proof the relationship between wages and rents empirically.  The work found that house rents in urban and suburban affecting wages in an urban area, it brings important policy implications in two markets. There are two considerations for the policy maker. They should consider others markets and spatial aspect when formulating their policies, especially in labor and housing markets Keywords: wages, house rents, urban labor economics.  ABSTRAK Studi ini menguji hubungan antara upah dan sewa rumah di tingkat kota.

Age And Sex

SummaryAs part of a population study on chronic lung disease in the Netherlands, an investigation is made of the relationship of both age and sex with indices describing the maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve. To determine the relationship, non-linear canonical correlation was used as realized in the computer program CANALS, a combination of ordinary canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and non-linear transformations of the variables. This method enhances the generality of the relationship to be found and has the advantage of showing the relative importance of categories or ranges within a variable with respect to that relationship. The above is exemplified by describing the relationship of age and sex with variables concerning respiratory symptoms and smoking habits. The analysis of age and sex with MEFV curve indices shows that non-linear canonical correlation analysis is an efficient tool in analysing size and shape of the MEFV curve and can be used to derive parameters concerning the whole curve.

This article discusses the struggles of urban social movements for a de-neoliberalisation of housing policies in Poulantzian terms as a “condensation of the relationship of forces”. Drawing on an empirical analysis of the “Berliner Mietenvolksentscheid” (Berlin rent referendum), which was partially successful in forcing the city government of Berlin to adopt a more progressive housing policy, the article argues that urban social movements have the capacity to challenge neoliberal housing regimes. However, the specific materiality of the state apparatus and its strategic selectivity both limit the scope of intervention for social movements aiming at empowerment and non-hierarchical decision-making.

While many analysts have commented on the representation of 1968 campus events and antiwar demonstrations, less attention has been paid to the global significance of the dramatic struggles in industrial Detroit during the period. The meanings of events in the city were intensely fought over. As Stuart Hall, Chas Critcher, Tony Jefferson, John Clarke, and Brian Roberts observed, the events of 1968 were “an act of collective will, the breaks and ruptures stemming from the rapid expansion in the ideology, culture and civil structures of the new capitalism . . . in the form of a ‘crisis of authority.’” In Detroit the crisis of authority was expressed in the form of popular political struggles against racism, state violence, and the contradictions of life in the industrial capitalist city. This article asks and answers the following research questions about the struggle over the meaning of this decisive turning point in US history: What was the relationship between racial ordering, uneven capitalist development, and mass antiracist and class struggles? How did Black working-class organic intellectuals resist and alter hegemonic definitions of the situation? How are the dialectics of insurgency and counterinsurgency to be best theorized during this precise historical conjuncture?
