University students consume live music; however, almost 40% declare that they have never attended a flamenco show, an intangible heritage of humankind. Numerous studies have shown that cultural capital and socioeconomic profile, among other factors, are variables that influence cultural consumption, and therefore, cultural sustainability. Considering the relationship between several variables, this paper pursues a double objective. On the one hand, identifying the factors that influence attendance at flamenco shows, and on the other, proposing a predictive model that quantifies the likelihood of an individual attending a flamenco show. To this end, we analyse flamenco consumption by means of a survey conducted on 452 university students, using Multilayer Perceptrom (a non-parametric model), a methodology based on an artificial neural network. Our results confirm the importance of cultural capital, as well as personal and external factors, among other. The findings of this research work are of potential interest for management and planning of cultural events, as well as to promote cultural sustainability.

The Relationship

The concept of legitimate culture plays a crucial role in the study of the relationship between the differentiation of tastes and the reproduction of social inequalities. Nevertheless, the actual role of legitimate culture in present society is often disputed in light of a supposed crumbling of the privileged structure of the fine arts. Meanwhile, the existing practice of survey research often neglects this institutional dimension of the legitimisation of taste and researchers often withdraw from attempts to develop an empirically-based scale to measure the legitimacy of taste. The aim of this paper is to develop a method of measurement of cultural capital which is based on empirical evaluation of the legitimacy of respondents’ taste. Specifically, this measurement links responses to open-ended questions about favourite cultural goods with institutionalized critical ratings. The particular focus is to answer how this methodologically innovative approach relates to prevalent instruments for measurement of cultural capital (highbrow culture attendance, educational credentials) and how it could inform the study of the change of legitimate culture. The study uses data from a survey of Czech youth cultural consumption (N=524). The results show close ties between the institutional measurement of cultural capital and the Bourdieusian application of Multiple Correspondence Analysis as a mean to identify significant cultural differences. While the feasibility of institutional measurement of cultural capital in survey data could be disputed, it is a useful tool to advance our understanding of how legitimate culture operates in present society.

LABOR CULTURE: A LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT CONTEXTS OF SOCIALIZATIONRESUMENEl resultado que se presenta constituye una alternativa de trabajo para fortalecer el desarrollo de la cultura laboral desde la selección misma de los contenidos que deben ser aprendidos, y que incluye los significados que son transmitidos históricamente, las normas, los valores, el actuar diario de los estudiantes y docentes, las creencias, las ceremonias y las tradiciones compartidas por todos los miembros de la comunidad educativa. Se requiere, por tanto, que los estudiantes muestren una actitud laboriosa y responsable ante las tareas que se les encomiendan, valoren la importancia del trabajo del hombre y del suyo propio, manifiesten respeto y admiración por los oficios y profesiones más necesarias; en sentido general que se preparen para la vida. No constituye un resultado acabado, pues al encontrarnos ante un fenómeno polisémico como el que se está investigando se requiere del trabajo investigativo desde la relación con la significación social, práctica e individual que tienen los estudiantes desde el desarrollo de las actividades laborales.PALABRAS CLAVE: cultura laboral, contextos de socializaciónABSTRACTThe result presented is an alternative work to strengthen the development of the labor culture from the selection of the contents to be learned, which includes the meanings that are transmitted historically, norms, values, daily action of Students and teachers, beliefs, ceremonies and traditions shared by all members of the educational community. It is therefore necessary that the students show a laborious and responsible attitude to the tasks entrusted to them, to value the importance of the work of the man and of his own, to show respect and admiration for the most necessary professions and professions; In the general sense that they prepare for life. It is not a finished result, because when faced with a polysemic phenomenon such as the one being investigated requires research work from the relationship with the social, practical and individual significance that students have since the development of work activities.KEYWORDS: labor culture, contexts of socialization.

The study aimed to compare pornography use of students in two culturally different European countries – Poland and Germany, and to investigate associations with religiosity, sexual myths, and sex taboos. Data were collected in an online survey among German (n = 1303) and Polish (n = 1135) university students aged 18-26 years. Polish students were more religious, showed a greater acceptance of sexual myths, and reported a higher level of sex taboos in their origin families. Polish students were younger at their first contact with pornography, while German students used pornographic materials more often. Results suggested a link between sociocultural background, especially religiosity, and pornography engagement. The relationship between pornography use and religiosity was ambiguous. On the one hand, attending church was negatively associated with age at first contact and pornography use. On the other hand, the association of intrinsic religiosity with pornography use proved to be contradictory: it was correlated with a lower frequency of pornography use for females and with a higher frequency for males. The agreement with common sexual myths was related to a higher frequency of pornography use. There was no association between the level of sex taboos and pornography use.

- This article is aimed to analyse immigrants' sociability and the social dimension of their cultural consumption, assuming that consumption itself is a social action embedded in subject's social and cultural sphere and that cultural object, at their time, are a fundamental resource for social and everyday life. The attention will be focused, in particular, on subject's "significant others" and their role in shaping and mediating subject's consumption and social life. Then the article will deepen the relationship between consumption and subject's cultural capital.

The purpose of this research work is to track down the level of relation between strength and endurance in training exercises of handball athletes. The most successful ratio has been established during work with two groups of 10 players each, all of whom are university students. They were trained, respectively, according to the general training methodology, on the one hand, and a programme, developed by us, on the other.The object of our research is the effectiveness of the different in volume and intensity training work over the level of the identified physical qualities - strength and endurance. The groups are tested at the beginning and at the end of a two-month experimental period, during which 24 training sessions have been performed with the application of:1. A control run test - 4 km distance - at individual intensity of 85% and a pulse frequency of 145-155 b/min. The intensity is calculated on the basis of the best result, accomplished by the player. The pulse frequency is measured with a field micro-coordinator Seka, Sportronic - 250 and an analytical record, TYP, 2D, Syntron, Seka Software, Version 1.3, England.2. A strength test consisting of 5 sessions of eight repeats - semi-squats with bar - 40% of the maximum individual capability for 35 seconds.It has been established that the combination between workouts for strength and ednurance in a ratio of 2:1 respectively, gives a positive influence on both qualities. A training focused on endurance has a less significant effect on the strength of the athlete, and reversely, strength has a greater effect on endurance. It is recommended that in power sports the relative element of endurance in training not exceed 25-30%, and in sports with endurance as a leading quality - training for strength be in the margin of 20-30%.

AbstractThis article considers the reconstruction of Rwanda's post-genocide music industry through the national music competition, Primus Guma Guma Super Star. It explores local ideas about ‘playback’ and ‘live’ music, and argues that these two performative categories can be understood as wider metaphors for the relationship between the Rwandan state and its citizens, particularly Rwandan youth. On the one hand, Guma Guma aims to create the ideal post-genocide celebrity subject who will ‘play back’ a unified, de-ethnicized Rwandan identity with body and words. On the other, during the first two seasons of the competition, audiences demanded ‘live’ performance and Guma Guma prompted heated debate about ‘taboo’ topics, revealing enduring differences along socio-economic, ethnic and regional lines. Rather than affirm an inclusive Rwandan identity, Guma Guma hinted at its fragility and underscored the multiple and conflicting ways in which young people identify themselves and evaluate ‘truth’ in the post-genocide era. The article contributes not only to literature on popular culture in Africa, but also to studies that focus on mediation and changes in recording technology. Although scholars have quite rightly attempted to dissolve the boundary between the live and the mediated, I suggest that the boundary continues to do cultural and political work, particularly in developmental states.

I denne artikel analyseres sammenhængen mellem kulturelle præferencer og social baggrund ud fra et surveymateriale om kulturelle forbrug i Aalborg, der underlægges korrespondance- og klusteranalyser. Der træder tydelige mønstre frem i form af forskelle i præferencer, og disse forskelle kan knyttes til forskelle i kulturel og økonomisk kapital. Dog synes ikke en inddeling i tre hovedklasser efter mønster fra Bourdieus Distinction oplagt i disse danske data, hvor de mest kapitalstærke grupper heller ikke har en lige så markeret smag. Det er hverken luksus, klassisk dannelse eller avantgardisme, der særkender de mest kapitalstærke i Aalborg, men forskellene fra den mere folkelige smag er alligevel tydelige, hvorfor modsætninger mellem det abstrakte og det konkrete, mellem det sjældne og det almindelige, det kostbare og det billige, deltagelse eller ikke deltagelse mv. kan trækkes. Derigennem tegnes også et billede af forskelle både mellem forskellige kapitalstærke grupper og mellem forskellige mindre privilegerede grupper. Søgeord: Kulturelle forbrug, Bourdieu, multipel korrespondanceanalyse, klasser, kulturel kapital. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Annick Prieur and Lennart Rosenlund: Cultural Differences in Denmark The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between cultural preferences and social background on the basis of survey data about cultural consumption in the Danish city Aalborg. The data are subjected to multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis. Some clear patterns appear regarding preferential differences that may be related to differences in economic and cultural capital. A division, however, into three main classes, like Bourdieu did in Distinction, does not seem evident in these Danish data, in that the respondents who have the highest levels of capital do not have very distinctive tastes. They are not characterized by luxury, classical education or avant-gardism; but the differences from more popular tastes are still evident in distinctions between the abstract and the concrete, the rare and the common, the expensive and the cheap, participation and non-participation etc. Therefore it is possible to draw a picture of differences between privileged groups and less privileged groups. Key words: Cultural consumption, Bourdieu, multiple correspondence analysis, classes, cultural capital.

The current study proposes and refines the Appraisals in Personality (AIP) model in a multilevel investigation of whether appraisal dimensions of emotion predict differences in state neuroticism and extraversion. University students (N = 151) completed a five-factor measure of trait personality, and retrospectively reported seven situations from the previous week, giving state personality and appraisal ratings for each situation. Results indicated that: (a) trait neuroticism and extraversion predicted average levels of state neuroticism and extraversion respectively, and (b) five of the examined appraisal dimensions predicted one, or both of the state neuroticism and extraversion personality domains. However, trait personality did not moderate the relationship between appraisals and state personality. It is concluded that appraisal dimensions of emotion may provide a useful taxonomy for quantifying and comparing situations, and predicting state personality.

Abstract. Previous research suggests that parenting style influences the development of the needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. The present study investigated the relationship between parenting style and another important motive disposition – the need for autonomy – in a sample of Singapore university students ( N = 97, 69% female), using a cross-sectional and retrospective design. It was predicted that an authoritative perceived parenting style would relate positively to the implicit need for autonomy ( nAut), the explicit need for autonomy ( sanAut), and the congruence between these two motive dispositions. Authoritative maternal parenting was found to positively associate with sanAut, while maternal parenting was not found to associate with nAut, or with nAut/ sanAut congruence. Paternal parenting was not associated with any of the dependent variables.

The first chapter of Hieroglyphic Modernisms exposes the complex history of Western misconceptions of Egyptian writing from antiquity to the present. Hieroglyphs bridge the gap between modern technologies and the ancient past, looking forward to the rise of new media and backward to the dispersal of languages in the mythical moment of the Tower of Babel. The contradictory ways in which hieroglyphs were interpreted in the West come to shape the differing ways that modernist writers and filmmakers understood the relationship between writing, film, and other new media. On the one hand, poets like Ezra Pound and film theorists like Vachel Lindsay and Sergei Eisenstein use the visual languages of China and of Egypt as a more primal or direct alternative to written words. But Freud, Proust, and the later Eisenstein conversely emphasize the phonetic qualities of Egyptian writing, its similarity to alphabetical scripts. The chapter concludes by arguing that even avant-garde invocations of hieroglyphics depend on narrative form through an examination of Hollis Frampton’s experimental film Zorns Lemma.
