821Surrounding greenness is associated with slower biological ageing based on epigenetics

Background High surrounding greenness has many health benefits, but few studies have evaluated these from the perspective of epigenetics. Methods We derived Horvath’s DNA methylation age (DNAmAge), Hannum’s DNAmAge, PhenoAge, and GrimAge from DNA methylation data measured from peripheral blood samples of 479 Australian women in 130 families. The DNA methylation age acceleration (DNAmAgeAC) was calculated as the residuals after regressing DNAmAge on chronological age. Greenness was represented by the satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) within 300m, 500m, 1000m and 2000m surrounding participants’ home addresses. The greenness-DNAmAgeAC association was evaluated using a within-sibship design fitted by linear mixed effect models, adjusting for familial clustering and important covariates. Results Our analyses based on the whole sample suggested that the greenness-DNAmAgeAC association was only statistically significant for GrimAge acceleration. Each inter-quartile range (IQR) increase in NDVI within 1000m was associated with 0.59 (95% CI: 0.18, 1.01) year decrease in GrimAge acceleration. Greenness was also inversely associated with GrimAge’s three DNA methylation based components (cystatin-C, growth differentiation factor 15, and smoking pack-years). For participants at higher 50% area-level socioeconomic status (SES), each IQR increase in NDVI within 1000m was associated with 1.24 (95%CI: 0.39, 2.09) year and 0.79 (95%CI: 0.29, 1.30) year decrease in Hannum’s DNAmAgeAC and GrimAge acceleration, respectively. Conclusions Higher surrounding greenness was associated with slower biological aging measured by GrimAge acceleration and Hannun’s DNAmAgeAC in Australian women, particularly among those who lived in areas at higher SES. Key messages Epigenetics provides a potential mechanism for why surrounding greenness is an important health issue for community construction.

Michael Winterbottom’s The Claim (2000) as a transnational and transcultural adaptation of The Mayor of Casterbridge

In this article, we will be focusing on issues of transnational and transcultural film adaptation using as a case study a particular screen adaptation of the novel The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy entitled The Claim (Michael Winterbottom 2000). The article aims to analyse the film in relation to these issues, taking into account notions of transcultural adaptation and transnational film productions, as well as mobility and migration in the context of a nineteenth-century film text. It is not only a text that relocates Hardy’s narrative into a new geographical/cultural dimension, but also it is itself a transnational production. Moreover, in the case of The Claim, there seems to be a clear understanding of processes of intercultural community construction that are particularly productive to look at. The article establishes a link between the particular transcultural perspective raised in this film and Michael Winterbottom’s oeuvre, taking also into account other adaptations of Hardy’s novels by the same director and the Western genre that underlies this film production.

Konstruksi Masyarakat pada Tradisi Nyajen Sebagai Usaha Keberhasilan Cakades Jelang Pilkades

Local beliefs and cultural values are still attached to the Javanese community, especially in the countryside. Karangpuri Village still preserves the tradition of its general, especially in political terms. Next April there will be a village head election. cakades carries on the tradition of iajen for the smooth running of the pilkades. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach with the foundation of Peter L. Berger's sosial construction theory. This research was conducted in Karangpuri Village, Sidoarjo. The goal is to find out the Karangpuri village community construction against the tradition of the generalthe results of this study are that the community sees this as normal and should be done by everyone who has a desire for fluency, pangestu to ancestors, and as a form of preserving local culture and beliefs inherited from previous ancestors.

The Promiscuous Life of a Genre for the Dead: The Marthiya as an Instrument of Community Construction in Muslim Russia

This article explores how the Islamic elegiac genre of marthiya can shed new light on the social and cultural history of the Muslims of Russia’s Volga-Ural region in the late imperial period (1870s-1917). The marthiyas enjoyed great popularity across geographical, ethnic, and factional lines as a medium for asserting and affirming social bonds and expressing collective identities. Volga-Ural marthiyas reveal the links between Sufism and Tatar national history-writing, demonstrate the interrelation between Sufi literature and Muslim revolutionary culture, and point to historical figures and groups that were left out of the evolving Tatar national historiography.

PESAN KESETARAAN PENYANDANG DISABILITAS MELALUI INTERAKSI SIMBOLIK MEDIA SOSIAL

Being considered equal to normal people in general is a dream that people with disa-bilities really want to realize. The public's view of disability has constructed the stig-ma that people with disabilities are unable to move like normal people specifically relating to physical exercise.. The difficulty of dismantling the stigma that is already inherent and generalizing persons with disabilities with physical disability or mal-function becomes a particular challenge faced by persons with disabilities as a mi-nority group. This paper uses the constructivist paradigm as a point of view in look-ing at understanding the complexity of social construction. The phenomenological method used in this study will explore the perspective of individuals with disabilities through self-concept "me" as an object that is the result of community construction, try to be replaced with "I" as a subject that is reconstructed through the help of so-cial media with self-actualization amid physical limitations which is owned. This study found that messages through social media that contain hopes and big dreams which imply that people with disabilities also have physical abilities and expertise equivalent to normal people in general. Various attempts were made, even more so by utilizing social media as a means of proving to the world about "This Is Me"and “I Can Do Anything

This study developed an innovative &ldquo;community construction&rdquo; curriculum module using hands-on model of urban design workshop. The curriculum is designed based on the design thinking process&mdash;empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. This study examined how students developed design thinking through the learning process of fieldwork, problem definition, and project proposal with teamwork in real-life communities and neighborhoods. In this study, &ldquo;Religious Culture and Historic District Regeneration&rdquo; was selected as the theme of the workshop course, based on the real issues in context, and the religious culture experience of the intangible cultural heritage was used as the topic of the proposal. Data were collected from classroom sessions, group discussions, neighborhood and community visits, student interviews, and learning reflective journals to analyze the conceptualization and design process that stimulate the possibility of rejuvenating the historic Tamsui district. The research findings revealed that, through participatory design, students&rsquo; learning to accomplish the proposed tasks was a sense making process through their communication with the &ldquo;people&rdquo; and &ldquo;surroundings&rdquo; of the place as well as their own experiential understanding. The study also found that bringing the curriculum to the real-life world for task-based learning initiated novel learning experiences while students were exposed to traditional culture. The architectural knowledge built by research through design and the visibility function that promotes design thinking are further discussed in this research. In addition, the curriculum module on innovative participatory design &ldquo;community construction&rdquo; developed in this study will help optimize the practice of design thinking learning model in university curriculum reform. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
