This research aims to study the creativity of Balinese dance which is used as a medium of worshipping God in Hindu practice. This research is designed in an interpretive descriptive type in order to provide an in-depth description of the research focus. There are three findings in this study, namely art as art as an expression of the soul, art as the cultivation of religious values, and art as a means of worshipping God in Hindu life. First, art as an expression of the soul is closely related to the outpouring of feelings through the appearance of works of art that can improve the quality of life. Second, arts as the inculcation of religious values are related to the use of Hindu religious symbols. Third, art as a means of worship is indicated by artistic creativity that is actualized by dance artists as an appreciation of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (God Almighty) with his various prabhavas (manifestation of God) in the implementation of Hindu religious rituals. The movements displayed are representations of the mudra sulinggih (gestures of the priest's while performing worship) which are also rhythmic movements that have an association with cosmic dances.

The aim of this research is to determine the differences in attitudes toward physical exercise of students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, and their interests in certain sports and recreational activities. The study included a total of 59 students of Academy of Dramatic Arts in Banja Luka and Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo. Given the requirements in terms of physical ability and physical appearance that contemporary theater and film production has for future actors, we believe that physical exercise should be their daily needs. The results of research have confirmed our opinion and pointed to a satisfactory level of physical activity of drama students. There was no significant difference in the attitudes of students toward physical exercise in relation to gender and place of study. The research results are encouraging, showing the awareness of students on the importance of practicing physical exercise in terms of improving the quality of life, as well as work and artistic creativity.

Works Of Art

Chapter 5 (“Public Health”) contains 21 works of art that tell the story of efforts by societies throughout the ages to protect the health of their citizens. Of the measures instituted, some of the oldest and the most important with regard to impact on life expectancy, disability, and quality of life have been ones concerned with provision of a clean water supply and proper waste management. Numerous works featured in this chapter speak to the dire consequences of poor sanitation, insect-borne infections, pollution, and plagues, such as the Black Death, leprosy, tuberculosis, syphilis, influenza, and AIDS. They also tout the miracle of immunizations, while decrying the medical profession’s inability to lighten society’s addiction burden or substantially improve the care provided to incarcerated patients.

Historical preservation is important to protect significant historic resources from destruction and inappropriate changes. Urban waterfronts are unique cultural resources that have its own identity, represent the lifestyle of surrounding communities. Over the years, the activities along the waterfront have changed along with city development, resulting in the loss of sense of place. In recent years, the agenda of preservation the cultural value of waterfront areas has been a research focus among the civil society and NGOs. However, in the midst of rapid development, this aspect is often overlooked and deteriorates the historical values of the place. At the same time, the quality of life of waterfront communities is also affected. This conceptual paper is a call for a set of actions to ensure that historical values at these places are protected. Through content analysis from previous literature reviews, this paper investigates how regeneration of historic waterfronts can help in preserving sense of place and improve the quality of life among waterfront communities. Findings from the literature revealed that contextual integration is important for successful redevelopment of historic waterfronts in order to preserve their sense of place.

Multiple Domains

Introduction: The Quality of Life (QOL) of individuals transcends the concept of the multiple domains of health.  It is the individual’s highly subjective discernment of his position in life in relation to his goals, expectations, and standards.  It is a perception of well-being and life satisfaction.  Literatures have consistently reported evidences of association between spirituality and quality of life.  But despite the increasing number of studies on spirituality and quality of life, few studies explore the role of spiritual health and religious practices in the quality of life of faculty and staff of educational institutions.  Thus, this descriptive-correlational study determined the relationship between the spiritual health and religious practices of the respondents and their quality of life.   Methods: Through purposive sampling, 177 respondents were selected.  The instrument utilized was composed of adapted questions from World Health Organization’s Quality of Life (WHO-QOL) and Spiritual Health and Life Orientation Measure (SHALOM). Data gathered were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and linear regression.   Results: The study revealed high levels of spiritual health, religious practices and quality of life of the respondents.  Both spiritual health and religious practices were significantly related to the quality of life.  Furthermore, married respondents and the teaching faculty had higher level of quality of life compared to those who are unmarried and non-teaching.  Lastly, spiritual health is the highest predictor of the quality of life.   Recommendation: This study endeavors to help create an environment that would enhance the spiritual health and therefore, the quality of life of the faculty and staff.

Abstract Translingual identity, as a part of the trans-paradigm, refers to linguistic, sociocultural, ethno-racial, and religious practices, which are negotiable, fluid, and in motion, transcending mainstream boundaries. This paper expands the translingual literature from the perspective of sociolinguistic disparities of culturally and linguistically diverse Eastern-European immigrant women in Australia, as they become victims of the perpetual foreigner stereotype in their host communities. Using the linguistic ethnography methods, such as open ethnographic observation and semi-structured interview, the study reveals that due to biographical accent, name, and the country of origin, as aspects of translingual identity – Australian-by-passport, those women become the victim of the perpetual foreigner stereotypes, such as ‘perceived as different’ and ‘Russian bride,’ which led to their feelings of inferiority and social inequality. By expanding the scope of the translingual identity and how it is perceived in Australia, this study provides a necessary contribution to the translingual literature, while simultaneously advocating for the quality of life and justice for translingual immigrants in their new home.
