The discovery and recognition of the embodied meaning of a place can be interpreted through the existing building. The installation artist, the designer and the architect regard the building not as a blank canvas but as multi- layered structure, which they have the opportunity to activate. They have the opportunity to reflect upon the contingency, usefulness and emotional resonance of a particular place and use this knowledge to heighten the viewer’s perception of it. The relationship between the building and its wider location has often been seen as somewhat ambiguous and yet it is possible to describe some spaces as encapsulating, in miniature, the characteristic qualities or features of a much wider situation.The interior has an obvious and direct relationship with the building that it occupies, the people who use it, and also it can have a connection with the area in which it is located. Preston Bus Station is a marvellously brutal building. In 2012, the Preston City Council proposed its demolition and replacement with a surface car park; they refused to consider proposals for building re-use. This provocative act galvanised the various groups that were campaigning to save the building and proved to be the impetus for a number of different types of projects. Gate 81, a collaboration between architects, designers, academics and arts organisations, curated a series of events within the Bus Station with the intention of raising the profile of the building.This paper will discuss the nature of the building, document the Gate 81 projects and report upon this sanguine approach to conservation.

Verbal communication is not the only way by which people can interact; people communicate with each other through different signs, colours, cultural symbols and costumes. One of the ways that people can communicate through is clothes or textiles. The language of textiles and its covert discourse have not been studied profoundly. Each bit of textile has its specific meaning. Through the discourse of their clothes, people try to show their nationality, age, gender, social status, geographical belonging etc. Kurdish traditional clothes are believed to be culturally rich, since they are dressed by a large number of people in the past and present. This study is an attempt to examine the relationship between discourse and clothes. It tries to study the hidden discourse of Kurdish traditional textiles. The study seeks to answer several questions, including: What do the clothes say about the people who wear them? How different types of clothes show different forms of people’s identity? How do clothes reveal the people’s nationality, age, gender, geographical territory and social class? The principles of discourse analysis, more specifically Foucault’s approach of material discourses, are used to investigate the collected data. The study uses a mixed approach of quantitative and qualitative methods. The data are collected in three ways: by analysing the photo albums, a survey and a site visit to Kurdish Textile Museum in Erbil. The study concludes that the pieces of textiles can be seen as linguistic elements in communications and Kurdish traditional clothes embraces specific cultural codes and symbols that can be used to reveal the discourses they embrace.

We are all consumers, and we understand and recognize one another as such. Recently, however, many facets of our identity as a consumer have been arising and modeling this essence. The use of social networks, the financial crisis, and the new trends such as sharing economies may be factors of change toward new ways of understanding the relationship of the people to the market. This chapter intends to produce an overview of the different types of consumers according to their behaviors and the trends that have been emerging since the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. Prosumer, presumer, crowdsumer, trysumer, and knowcoster are some of the terms to be analyzed and defined in this chapter, which ends with a call for consumer sovereignty.

This research departs from the phenomenon of live streaming mass due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Face-to-face mass activities were eliminated and replaced by using live streaming media. The focus of this research is to see how the value of the communion of people in the Eucharist can be maintained in cyberspace. Researchers used qualitative research methods with a theological reflection approach based on the thoughts of Antonio Spadaro and Anthony Le Duc about cyber theology. The novelty of this research is a theological reflection from the perspective of the teachings of the Catholic Church. The results showed that the people were helped to maintain the value of the Eucharistic communion in the midst of a pandemic. Cyberspace is a forum to strengthen relationships between believers emotionally and spiritually. However, it must be emphasized that cyberspace is only a supplement. This space is needed according to the portion and remains actualized in a real and direct relationship. Research data shows that people feel that they are not enough with live streaming mass. The church needs to help people to reflect more deeply on the relationship between God and humans in cyberspace. Therefore the Church has a tough task after the pandemic ends. AbstrakPenelitian ini berangkat dari fenomen misa live streaming akibat pandemik Covid-19. Kegiatan misa secara tatap muka ditiadakan dan diganti dengan memanfaatkan media live streaming. Fokus penelitian ini melihat bagaimana nilai persekutuan umat di dalam Ekaristi bisa dipertahankan dalam cyberspace. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan refleksi teologis berdasarkan pemikiran Antonio Spadaro dan Anthony Le Duc tentang cybertheology. Kebaruan penelitian ini adalah refleksi teologis dengan sudut pandang ajaran Gereja Katolik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa umat dibantu untuk mempertahankan nilai persekutuan Ekaristi di tengah pandemi. Cyberspace menjadi wadah untuk menguatkan relasi antarumat secara emosional dan spiritual. Namun yang harus ditekankan adalah cyberspace hanya suplemen. Ruang ini dibutuhkan sesuai porsinya dan tetap diaktualisasikan dalam relasi nyata dan langsung. Data penelitian menunjukkan umat merasa tidak cukup dengan misa live streaming. Gereja perlu membantu umat untuk merefleksikan lebih mendalam lagi relasi Tuhan dan manusia di dalam cyberspace. Oleh sebab itu Gereja mempunyai tugas berat setelah pandemi berakhir.

<p>The neglected coastal edge of the port landscape has left behind unreceptive scars on the city’s urban fabric. These prominent locations are pivotal links between coastal towns and the sea; they are currently in very poor condition.¹ This thesis explores a site with these characteristics, Nelson, nestled between the Southern Alps at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. The compact and intimate geography of the Nelson region is surrounded by the ocean; with the city growing central to its port. Due to the once thriving local exports and industrial trade the port hastily expanded, the inevitable decline of the industrial era has resulted in a landscape of disregard which has distanced the city from the water. These neglected waterfront locations now taint the pristine image of the Nelson Haven.  This thesis examines how a carefully considered architectural design can reintegrate this pivotal location back into the city’s urban fabric while reinforcing the relationship between the people of Nelson and the water. This design-led research utilises the sport of rowing with its link to the water as the catalyst to reconnect the people of Nelson to the waterfront and the water itself.  This design-led thesis employs the ideologies of atmospheric experiences to materialise the importance of water to sense of place. This is achieved by exploiting the atmospheric experiences of material, space and time through an architectural dialogue with the water’s duality. The Nelson Haven experiences vast tidal movements which forms the foundations for the experience observed at the interface of architecture and water. This thesis further argues that this framework of architectural experience has the potential to serve as a catalyst project to rejuvenate and reintegrate the city of Nelson with its prime waterfront location.  ¹ “Rutherford & Trafalgar Parks & Maitai Walkway” Nelson City Council. accessed July 15, 2015. http://nelson.govt.nz/assets/Leisure/Downloads/R-and-T-parks-redevelopment.pdf.</p>

This article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of symbolic images of stone and mountains in the folklore and literatures of the peoples of the North Caucasus and Abkhazia. The objects of analysis are myths, a heroic epic about the sledges shared by a number of Caucasian peoples, poetry by K. Mechiev, K. Kuliev, A. Keshokov, and R. Gamzatov, novels by B. Shinkuba (Dissected Stone) and A. Gogua (Nimbus). As shown in the article, the images of stone and mountains in each literature function differently within the structure of a literary text, depending on the author’s intention. At the same time, these images are initially closely connected with history, life, mythology, folklore of the people, and with thousand-year historical and spiritual experience of mountaineers. The process of creating a literary image, whose roots go deep into national history and culture, reflects the interaction of different types of thinking — historical, mythological, anthropological, and literary; the nature of the relationship and the dialogue of literature with folklore, historiography, and ethnography speak about the role of this interdisciplinary dialogue in the development of literature; this way, we can also speak of literary or artistic historicism which differs from historicism in historiography or philosophy of history.

Introducción: La lógica interna del futbol sala está formada por ataque y defensa que implican continuas transiciones ofensivas y defensivas y ocasiones de gol. Esta gran movilidad en ataque tiene como finalidad provocar y aprovechar un desequilibrio en el esquema táctico defensivo contrario, creando así un efecto sorpresa de incertidumbre que genere una opción clara de finalización y así poder anotar gol. Existen estudios que explican cómo, cuándo se consiguen los goles pero no existe ninguno que diga quién los consigue. El objetivo de este trabajo es saber cómo se distribuyen los goles entre los diferentes tipos de jugadores en las mejores ligas europeas de fútbol sala. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo. La muestra asciende a 110 partidos en la liga italiana (11 equipos), 240 en la liga española (16 equipos) y 273 en la liga rusa (14 equipos), lo que supone un total de 623 partidos de los que se han podido analizar 619 y una muestra (n) alcanzada de 4716 goles de la temporada 2.014-2.015. Para la recogida de datos se han utilizado las actas de los partidos. Datos descriptivos dados en frecuencias, medias y porcentajes y estadística inferencial utilizando Chi-cuadrado para establecer la relación entre variables. Resultados y conclusiones: Los resultados establecen que existe una relación directa entre las posiciones de partida y la consecución de goles. Así, el pívot obtiene un 40,37% de los goles, seguido por los alas con un 37,24%, los cierres con un 19,64%. Abstract. Introduction: The internal logic of futsal consists of attack and defense involving continuous offensive and defensive transitions and goal chances. This great mobility in attack aims to provoke and take advantage of an imbalance in the opposing defensive tactical scheme, creating a surprise uncertainty effect that generates clear chances of finishing and thus scoring goals. There exist studies explaining how, or when, goals are achieved; however, none discusses who gets them. The objective of this paper is to assess how goals are distributed among the different types of players in the best European futsal leagues. Method: Quantitative, descriptive study. The sample consists of 110 matches in the Italian league (11 teams), 240 in the Spanish league (16 teams), and 273 in the Russian league (14 teams), with a total of 619 matches analyzed on a total of 623 available, and a sample (n) of 4,716 goals scored during the season 2014-2015. For the collection of data, match minutes were used. Descriptive data was presented in frequencies, means and percentages, whilst inferential statistics were run using Chi-square to establish the relationship between variables. Results and conclusions: The results establish that there is a direct relationship between starting positions and achievement of goals. Pivots get 40.37% of the total goals, followed by wings with 37.24%, and closures with 19.64%.
