The Subject

This chapter focuses on the possibility of isolating an Italian theory of architecture in the postwar period until 1969, taking the controversy over Renaissance proportions as a case study. Rather than defining a specific approach to the subject from Italian authors compared to their international colleagues, this contribution explores the specificity of Italian humanism and the significance of that experience from the point of view of the postwar reconstruction. The study of Renaissance architecture, rather than offering a historical precedent for the construction of national identities, warded off that possibility, constituting a problematic beginning for European modernity.

ABSTRACTWith its intense drama and marked eroticism, the story of Judith's slaying of Holofernes was often represented in baroque visual art and music. The overwhelming majority of musical representations are found in oratorios, with only three cantatas known to have been devoted to the subject. The oratorio's dramatic framework was suited for emphasizing Judith's multifaceted figure through character depiction, contrast and conflict, while the cantata's epic nature and lack of direct character intervention made staging conflict in that genre more difficult. Yet precisely because of these limitations, the cantata constitutes a revealing case study for exploring the strategies composers employed to give agency to Judith.This article focuses on the baroque cantata settings of the Judith story by Sébastien de Brossard and Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre (both from about 1708, both based on a text by La Motte). To illustrate their differing perspectives on Judith, I employ the concept of focalization – used in literary theory to mean point of view or filtered perspective – as a theoretical framework. The well-known Judith paintings by Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi (the so-called Uffizi Judith) provide a lucid example of focalization through the differing perspectives of the two maidservants and offer a valuable methodological tool for understanding the two differing compositional approaches. Whereas Brossard follows La Motte's narrative dutifully by emphasizing swiftness of action at the expense of character depiction, Jacquet de La Guerre bypasses it through instrumental accompaniments and independent symphonies that give voice to Judith, despite a text that downplays her character.

From the point of view of the national economy, the development of a transport sector is a key process which relies on many other industries. Therefore, it is inevitable to coordinate related activities and to develop the transport sector effectively, and significant synergies in relation to other sectors could be generated. This article deals with the issue of public passenger transport and its greater attractiveness through the account-based ticketing (ABT) technology application in the process of passenger handling. The article contains a review of the current literature on the subject, using both completed and partially completed studies. It presents the case of study of account-based ticketing in the Slovak Republic. ABT technology has already been introduced in many countries, for example, in the Netherlands in 2019, and in Singapore.

The study aims at analyzing errors made by Sudan University of Science and Technology students’ at faculty of Sciences-Chemistry Department in employing passive voice in writing lab reports. The study focuses precisely on identifying the types of errors occurred in using passive voice and the reasons behind these errors. Descriptive qualitative method is adopted and applied to obtain and process the gathered data. To run this study and to collect reliable data, thirty chemical students are chosen randomly as the subject of the study. Samples of the students’ lab reports are collected and analyzed. The collected data is analyzed according to the Dulay et al. (1982) Surface Strategy Taxonomy model. Teachers’ questionnaire is also used to find out the sources of the students’ errors from the teachers’ point of view. The findings of the study reveals that the majority of the students’ errors are categorized as omission and misinformation whereas additions and misordering errors are fewer and unconsidered. According to the teachers, these errors are attributed to the interference of the mother tongue, lack of knowledge and carelessness of the students.

The subject of his article reflects what Robert Crawford has called ‘a growing wariness of notions of an essentialist Scotland’ (1994, p. 57). The article has been written partly as a contribution to the critique of ‘essentialist’ notions of national identity in gerneral and ‘Scottishness’ in particular. I share the concern of Stuart Hall (1990; 1995) and others (Massey 1991; Rose 1995) to challenge ideas which reproduce notions of the ‘boundedness’ or ‘purity’ of territorial and national identities; whilst recognising that such identities are, by definition, only likely to change slowly (Therborn 1995). My approach to the analysis of national identity is to try to follow the ‘social construction of reality’ thinking which informs much current writing on the relationships between ethnicity, place and identity (Jackson and Penrose 1993). From that point of view, regarding Scottish national cultural identity in the late twentieth century,

Points Of View

The data presented in the history which follows is of interest from three points of view. First, a majority of the reports in the literature on the “gifted” devoted to the development of children with superior endowment stress the fact that superiority is not unitary. Gifted children tend to exceed the norm in all areas. A study of gifted twin boys (2) illustrates this point of view. Secondly, various studies have attempted to show that students of education are not comparable in endowment to students in other fields. Wolfle (3) in exploring some thirty fields of endeavor has shown that the combined fields of physical education and general education contained the fewest number of cases on the high end of the distribution curve. The subject of this study tends to be an exception to both of the above since she has a problem, and though of very superior intelligence is the offspring of educators, also of very superior intelligence.

In this research, the application of eleventh grade chemistry book content on the daily life of students at professor Rasoon Amin school in kabul provinces has been studied. The application has been evaluatyed at two levels of social and individual bases. The research was based on the active components of William Roman's theory and the context-based approach, which based on this theory, the practical content of the book, encourages students to use it in their daily lives. The results of this study showed that the practical content of the 11th grade chemistry in daily life has confirmed to maintain the health of students with more than 80% of their answers. Recognition of natural resources using chemistry content is more than 80% in students and they feel responsibility about 80% in their lives. In addition, more than 80% of students have taken benefits of chemistry content. On the other hand, the study made it clear that whenever the subject is taught empirically and practically and the students' attention is drawn to practical activities, it can be used in all aspects of everyday’s life.

Architecture and urbanization are representatives of our architectural and cultural histories. Many of the lost historical characteristics can come out of the back door citing such representatives. Reconstruction and restoration are a set of activities that deal with the body and spirit of a subject. The subject can be a city, a natural environment or an architectural structure. There are different approaches to reconstruction and restoration, which differ significantly in terms of the level of intervention in a historical subject. This is a technique that our archaeologists are not sufficiently familiar with. From an archaeological point of view on the historical subjects, any document could not be as consistent as the architectural works with the circumstances of the community. The nature of the art of modern history is to see which cases have not been addressed in historical documents. As the historical subjects’ evidence, we were not so diligent in the preservation of such subjects as a documentary. The aim of this study is to investigate the heritage of contemporary architecture and to determine how to preserve such works, as well as to review the Khosrawi leather factory in Tabriz, which has now maintained its role as the Islamic Art University. The results of this research, which are obtained through a descriptive-analytical method, show that we can preserve the architectural structures by changing the application of traditional structures to the cultural or social ones.

The Relationship

Gauguin is an important painter who lived between 1848-1903 and became a pioneer for his contemporaries with his artistic stance. Although he started painting at a late age, he proved himself in a short time with his devoted work, both theoretical and practical. Reacting to the nature-following feature of Impressionism towards which his contemporaries were oriented, innovations revealed its open artistic structure, arguing that emotion and state should be included alongside the impression. This innovative structure also opened the door for him to make exemplary studies on the relationship between painting and music within the scope of interdisciplinary art. Gauguin, who has a special interest in music, gave musical meaning to his paintings with color tones and often used the term "Color Orchestration" for his paintings. From this point of view, the aim of this study, which is shaped by the case study pattern, that is one of the qualitative research approaches, is to deal with the color orchestrations in Gauguin's paintings within a pictorial and musical framework. In this direction, five different paintings by Gauguin were chosen to create orchestration examples. By paying attention to the subject of the paintings and the stain values and timbres of the colors that make up the painting, instruments were determined to correspond to the color and orchestration examples were created with these instruments. As a result of revealing the relationship between color and sound with this study, Gauguin's "Colour Orchestration" idiom has been embodied. Keywords: Interdisciplinary Art, Painting, Music, Gauguin

Cognitive interviewing helps to bring back the original meaning of pilotage in a case study. Cognitive processes in an interview start with the interpretation of the question and its constituent terms, include the stage of forming an opinion and developing a judgment about it, and ends with editing the answer. The objectives of the cognitive interview are to explore the concepts, words and concepts of everyday language; pull out meanings, associations and emotions associated with the subject of research; detect barriers blocking the respondent's presentation of his position; assess confidence in your opinion, as well as the willingness to correct your point of view; to form their understanding of the "ordinary theory" of the studied phenomenon, etc. For each task, you can build an original strategy for a cognitive interview, but it is important to understand what we are studying, what the result should be and what the research team will do with it.
