Beautification of Chinese Architectural Images in the New Media Age

From the perspective of communication science, the communication of architectural images in the new media age has an obvious beautifying trend. Due to the differences in politics, economics, and cultural environment between China and western countries, the beautification of architectural images in China is a unique phenomenon. This study classifies the beautification of Chinese architectural images into different types in terms of image communication: audience orientation, time orientation, space orientation, and cultural orientation. By investigating and analyzing relevant cases, this study explores the beautification of Chinese architectural images in the new media age and puts forward thoughts and evaluation, aiming to better comprehend the relationship between beautification and architectural communication.

Teaching Mathematics to Children With Autism

Difficulties in learning mathematics are the most “resistant” within the intervention programs for children with autism. However, mathematics cannot be excluded from the curriculum because it forms abilities which would ensure better social adaptation for the child. It is not about academic level of mathematics in this chapter, but a professional and social one. In day-to-day life, the child with autism encounters mathematical situations generated by simple self-serving actions, space orientation in spaces loaded with symbols, etc., which requires intellectual operations of a minimal abstraction degree. Along with the social component which mathematics has, learning it can also be considered therapeutic as it involves a process of mental organizing which children with autism need. The chapter offers a few basic methodological solutions in forming mathematical abilities for children with autism.

Investigation of the Influence of the Space Orientation of Layers on the Surface Shape Error during Additive Shaping of Products by an Electric Arc in a Protective Gases Environment

The paper presents the results of a study of the process of additive surface shaping by an electric arc in a protective gas. An analysis was made of the errors in the shape of surfaces obtained with different filling of layers. It has been experimentally confirmed that such process parameters as the orientation of the layers, the coefficient of their overlap are significant and affect the numerical value of the error in the shape of the resulting surface. In this connection, they should be taken into account when designing algorithms for dividing into layers and filling them with additive shaping by an electric arc in a protective gas.

Influencia de la orientación del espacio sobre el esfuerzo percibido en Educación Física: Juegos motores de cooperación-oposición

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS, 2010) establece una práctica física mínima de 60 minutos diarios en rango de intensidad moderada a vigorosa. Los participantes fueron 28 estudiantes de 6º de Educación Primaria. Se desarrollaron tres juegos motores de cooperación-oposición, variando la orientación del espacio. Los objetivos fueron conocer la adecuación del esfuerzo percibido en los tres juegos, relacionados con la intensidad, para lograr beneficios para la salud y comparar el esfuerzo percibido dependiendo de las diferentes orientaciones espaciales. Tras cada juego, se distribuyó la escala de esfuerzo percibido (PCERT). Los resultados muestran que el alumnado no alcanza una intensidad suficiente en los juegos para obtener beneficios para la salud. Se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para el esfuerzo percibido dependiendo de la orientación del espacio, siendo el juego con mayores valores el de espacio orientado con porterías pequeñas y el juego con menos valores el juego sin espacio orientado. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2010) stablishes a minimum physical practice of 60 minutes per day in a range of moderate to vigorous intensity. Participantes were 28 students of 6th Primary Education. Three cooperation-opposition motor games were developed, varying the space orientation. The objectives were to know the adequacy of perceived effort in the three games, in relation to intensity, to achieve health benefits and compare the perceived effort based on the different space orientations. After the completion of each game, the Pictorical Children's Effort Rating Table (PCERT) were distribuited. Results show students do not reach a sufficient intensity in motor games to obtain health benefits, as well as statistically significant differences for the perceived exertion depending on the space orientation, being the game with higher levels the one that presents oriented space with small goals and the game with lower levels is the non-oriented space game.

Whose Nostalgia is Ostalgia? Post – Communist Nostalgia in Central-European Contemporary Art

The paper is focused on a particular group of visual artists from Poland, Hungary, and the Czech and Slovak republics dealing with the issue of memory, history and nostalgia in their work. A common feature of their art is the perception of local space in its historical connotations, the exploration of historical content, causality reception, and the time-space orientation of man. Using space, with its physical and symbolic expression, is their strategy; a specific interest is the process of searching, changing or losing the identity in a historically complicated area of Central Europe. The article examines relations between collective memory, identity and nostalgia, captured in the artistic reflection and thus mirroring the actual state of a society.
