The city of Cairo - since the beginning of the third millennium - has witnessed a constructional expansion of new cities for people of class A to live within gated communities, which provide luxury and safety. This research aims to identify the tangible and intangible needs from the occupants’ and the interior designer’s perspective, due to the diversity of these needs. The identification of these demands may help to clarify the requirements provided by the large construction companies, which will highlight the role of the interior designer in the design process of the residential units.Keywords: Interior design in Egypt, Contemporary Egyptian residences, Egyptian residential needs, Gated communities in Egypt.eISSN: 2398-4287© 2019.

Particularly in Creon’s debate with Haemon, and from then on, Sophocles shows distinct aspects of how anger acts on the tyrant’s ability to judge and how this can be related to inextricable familial and political ties. As every modern reading of the play applies a philosophical conceptualization to understand emotions and thus suffer the consequences of a historical gap between interpretative and original vocabularies, this paper argues that the Aristotelian conceptualization of emotions is a relevant philosophical tool to better contextualize Creon’s anger in Sophocles’ Antigone. The essay discusses Creon’s thymetic responses in the face of Haemon’s admonition and Antigone’s oligoria, and offers two examples of Aristotelian readings of Creon’s thymetic akrasia. One of the possible readings considers the specific role of phantasia in Creon’s understanding of reality. This philosophical explanation of a revengeful tyrant reveals important connections between psychology and politics in the government of the city.

Abstract During the second half of the seventeenth century, there were at least three embassies between the Spaniards of Manila and the Fujian based Zheng regime. The first embassy took place in 1656 ordered by the Spanish governor in Manila. The ambassadors were two captains of the city, and its aim was to re-establish trade relations, which had been severed many months before. In response, Zheng Chenggong sent his cousin to the Philippine islands to settle several business arrangements regarding Fujianese trade. In 1662, Zheng Chenggong took the initiative of sending the Dominican Victorio Riccio, who worked as missionary in the Catholic mission at Xiamen, as emissary to the Governor of the Philippines, don Sabiniano Manrique de Lara. The third embassy took place in 1663. Thereupon, Zheng Jing, Zheng Chenggong’s successor, sent Riccio to Manila for signing a peace pact and for re-establishing trade. The three embassies were related to the Zheng’s purpose of gaining economic and political supremacy over the Philippines and the South China Seas. In all three cases, the actors, the diplomatic correspondence, the material aspects and the results differed profoundly. The article analyzes the role of individuals as intermediaries and translators while considering the social and cultural effects that these embassies had on the Sino-Spanish relations in Manila.

Abstract Following in the footsteps of one’s favourite literary characters has become a significant part of tourism. It remains unknown, however, how many readers decide to visit the places described in a book, or what factors determine their decision to do so. This issue was analysed using the example of Łódź, the third largest city in Poland, which struggles with a negative image. In contrast to the research on literary tourism conducted so far, a questionnaire was completed by readers and not by tourists visiting the places described. The readers remembered many real locations and had become familiar with the city’s topography. Some declared their reluctance to accept its stereotypically ‘bad’ image, while others were fascinated with its ‘unique atmosphere’. To many the city has become more familiar and a significant number of readers have changed their perception of it as a result. By means of linear modelling, several factors were established which encouraged readers to visit the city for tourism purposes. These factors included the size of the reader’s home location, changes of opinion, and the first impression the book made. This research project clearly points to the significant role of the novel in creating images of the places it depicts.

This chapter analyses the polticial and administrative changes in the city of Babylon during the third and second centuries BCE. Traditionally the city had been governed by the members of the Esagila assembly, the kiništu, and the sanctuary’s high administrator, the šatammu. At some point in the first half of the second century, however, the puliṭê, that is members of a polis community, emerged as a new political interest group in the city. Examining the role of the puliṭê through a careful analysis of the documentary evidence as well as recent historiography, this chapter offers a new approach to interpreting the political and administrative transformation of second-century Babylon.

Aim of the article is to analyze a specific situation of Krakow during the Nazi-German occupation, when the city played a role of a capital of the General Government. The city functioned under a typical occupation regime, however, at the same time it was a seat of the authorities. As a result thousands of German functionaries and their families settled in Krakow. It had significant impact on many aspects of functioning of Krakow, ranging from social and housing issues, through architecture, economy, methods of extermination of the Jewish population and finally organization of the Polish underground. A separate issue discussed in the article are the Nazi propaganda campaigns conducted mainly in Krakow. Due to limitations, all these issues are presented in a general way, nevertheless giving a picture of specificity of Krakow’s war experience. Author indicates that the fate of the city is not typical for the Polish lands occupied by the Third Reich. Contradictory to the other places, Krakow was not only a city that was conquered and controlled, but we can see it as a beginning of a new, colonial, Nazi order in the Eastern Europe.

Abstract. Malnutrition is the most common problem in coastal areas among other areas in the city of Serang. The focus of this study is discussing the malnutrition of children under-fives in fishing families and their causes as well as the role of community assistant for families of fishermen who have children under-five with malnutrition status, where the majority of them are fishing laborers living in poverty. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Collecting data employs in-depth interviews, observation and documentation studies. The results of this research show that fishermen’s family income is low, their level of education and understanding of nutrition are low, so they are unable to meet their nutritional needs ideally. Cultural factors and local habits greatly affect their attitudes in meeting the needs of daily life, in terms of nutrition they believe that fish and eggs consumed by children under-five will adversely affect their health and skin. In addition there is still an understanding that fathers must be given the highest priority in any case, including in terms of eating compared to other family members. The findings show that they live in  dirty living environment with poor sanitation and inadequate clean water sources. Furthermore, this research study finds that the community assistants, including Social Worker, have not played their role adequately. The most striking obstacles faced are economic factors, accessibility and knowledge as well as lack of awareness from families in overcoming the problem of malnutrition in children under five in fishing families Abstrak. Masalah malnutrisi terbanyak terdapat di wilayah pesisir di antara wilayah lain di kota Serang. Fokus dari penelitian ini membahas tentang malnutrisi balita dalam keluarga nelayan dan penyebabnya serta peran pendamping bagi keluarga nelayan yang memiliki balita dengan status malnutrisi, di mana mayoritas mereka adalah buruh nelayan yang hidup dalam kemiskinan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Pengumpulan datanya menggunakan wawancara mendalam, observasi dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan keluarga nelayan rendah, tingkat pendidikan dan pemahaman akan gizi kurang sehingga mereka tidak mampu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan gizi secara ideal. Faktor budaya dan kebiasaan setempat sangat mempengaruhi sikap mereka dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari hari, dalam hal gizi mereka berkeyakinan bahwa ikan dan telur apabila dikonsumsi oleh balita akan berdampak buruk pada kesehatan dan kulit mereka. Selain itu, masih ada pemahaman bahwa ayah harus diutamakan dalam hal apapun termasuk dalam hal makan dibandingkan anggota keluarga lainnya. Berdasarkan penelitian, terlihat lingkungan tempat tinggal mereka sangat kotor dengan sanitasi yang buruk serta sumber air bersih yang cukup sulit. Lebih jauh terungkap bahwa peran pendamping masyarakat, termasuk Pekerja Sosial, masih relatif belum cukup memadai. Hambatan yang dihadapi yang paling menonjol adalah faktor ekonomi, aksesibilitas dan pengetahuan gizi serta kurangnya kesadaran dari keluarga dalam mengatasi masalah malnutrisi pada anak balita dalam keluarga nelayan.

This study aimed at showing health supervisor’s role in enhancing the effectiveness of health education areas in public schools in the city of Ma’an, Jordan, and its relationship to some demographic variables for the academic year 2016-2017.The study population consists of all health supervisors in public schools in the city of Ma’an for the academic year 2016-2017. The entire school number reached 38 schools including 13 schools for males, and 25 schools for females. The total sample size of the study was 38 supervisors as each school had one health supervisor. Due to the lack of the school populations, all the 38 supervisors had been used by 100% of the school population for the purpose of this study. In addition, the researcher had used descriptive analytical approach based on the case study or phenomenon as it was existed in the case. This phenomenon had been described accurately and expressed qualitatively and quantitatively.A study tool of 22 questions had been used for the application of this study and its data collection. The tool included four main parts: the first part contained questions 1-7 related to the first area (nutrition), and the second part contained questions 8-12 of the second area environmental health and public safety, whereas the third part had questions 13-17 which showed the third area the personal health of students and promoting health awareness. As to part four, it contained questions 18-22 related to the fourth area Reproductive health. Each response had been scaled according to Likert Scale Quintet.Data had been analyzed through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Also, frequencies, mean as well as standard deviation had been the statistical methods used for describing the variability of some data in our study. Furthermore, differential analysis tests such as analysis of variance test (One-Way ANOVA) had been used to see if there was any difference in the mean scores among groups on some variable. In addition, Cronbach’s Alpha had been used to measure the scale consistency.One of the most important results, shown by our study, had been the significant and effective role of the school health supervisor in Ma’an public schools for the academic year 2016-2017 in all areas of health education mentioned in the questionnaire. In addition, the results showed non-existence of statistically significant differences, attributed to variation in gender and the level of education, at the level of (α ≥ 0.05) for the role of health supervisor in enhancing the effectiveness of areas of health education in public schools. In the light of the results obtained in the present study, the researcher made many recommendations, among which the most important are: identifying health officer in each school who must have the required qualifications to hold the title of a health supervisor so that he/she could achieve all responsibilities to the fullest. Another important recommendation was to make an ongoing evaluation of school health programmes in those schools and also make workshops, seminars and conferences for teachers specializing in school health.

This chapter discusses the history of Catholics in the rural United States, which engages three narrative strands. The role of the institutional church—its schools, churches, monasteries, and hospitals—and its clergy represent perhaps the most visible strand. Then there is the story of rural Catholic people themselves: where they came from, what they did, and how their religious faith separated them from their non-Catholic rural neighbors. An often-tense relationship between the city and the country constitutes the third strand; stereotypes aside, rural America has never existed in isolation from American cities. This dynamic was especially evident in the history of rural Catholics. That history generated some of its own quintessentially “American” images: family farms, wholesome church life, the simplicity and honesty of small town life; but these images were inevitably read as anomalous when Catholics staked their proprietary claims.
