Lee, Kyunghwa. "Art Collector of Colonial Korea: Pak Yŏngch’ŏl’s Art Collecting and Museum." Korean Journal of Art History 321 (March 31, 2024): 39–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.31065/kjah.321.202403.002.
Full textAbstract:
Pak Yŏngch’ŏl (1879-1939) was a high-ranking government official, businessman and prominent art collector during the modern period. After Pak’s passing in 1940, his family donated Tasan mun’go (the Tasan Collection) to Keijō Imperial University in accordance with his will. The collection was comprised of 115 artworks, which included calligraphy, paintings, and craft items, along with a fund of 20,000 won. Pak’s financial support laid the foundation for the establishment of the Keijō Imperial University Museum two years later. Both the donation of his collection and the subsequent founding of the museum distinguish Pak Yŏngch’ŏl from contemporary Korean collectors. This study sheds light on Pak Yŏngch’ŏl’s character as an art collector and his perception of the museum based on a detailed investigation of the Tasan Collection housed at the Seoul National University Museum.Pak Yŏngch’ŏl did not actively participate in the appreciation and collection of art until the age of fifty. He began collecting art around 1928, coinciding with his appointment as the vice president of Chosŏn Commercial Bank. Pak then spent the next decade focused on building his collection. This study focuses on Pak Yŏngch’ŏl’s inspection tour of European countries in 1928, which was the catalyst that spurred his considerable devotion to the collection of art. During the tour, Pak Yŏngch’ŏl had the opportunity to experience various museums symbolizing modern civilization in Europe. The Louvre Museum in particular, which was first opened to the public and renown for its outstanding collection, seemed to have informed Pak of the value of art. The cultural treasures exhibited in the public spaces of museums would have reminded Pak that the preservation of historical artifacts is one of the indicators of civilization.In the pre-modern period, the appreciation and collection of calligraphy and painting were typically private activities limited to the individual’s personal domain. However, the political and social changes brought about in the modern period redefined art collecting within a public context. Pak Yŏngch’ŏl, who formed a collection and donated it with the purpose of establishing a museum, epitomizes the shift in perceptions of art collection in Colonial Korea.

Abstract The field of bioaesthetics seeks to understand how modern humans may have first developed art appreciation and is informed by considering a broad range of fields including painting, sculpture, music and the built environment. In recent times there has been a diverse range of art and communication media representing bees, and such work is often linked to growing concerns about potential bee declines due to a variety of factors including natural habitat fragmentation, climate change, and pesticide use in agriculture. We take a broad view of human art representations of bees to ask if the current interest in artistic representations of bees is evidenced throughout history, and in different regions of the world prior to globalisation. We observe from the earliest records of human representations in cave art over 8,000 years old through to ancient Egyptian carvings of bees and hieroglyphics, that humans have had a long-term relationship with bees especially due to the benefits of honey, wax, and crop pollination. The relationship between humans and bees frequently links to religious and spiritual representations in different parts of the world from Australia to Europe, South America and Asia. Art mediums have frequently included the visual and musical, thus showing evidence of being deeply rooted in how different people around the world perceive and relate to bees in nature through creative practice. In modern times, artistic representations extend to installation arts, mixed-media, and the moving image. Through the examination of the diverse inclusion of bees in human culture and art, we show that there are links between the functional benefits of associating with bees, including sourcing sweet-tasting nutritious food that could have acted, we suggest, to condition positive responses in the brain, leading to the development of an aesthetic appreciation of work representing bees.

Full textAbstract:
Chinese culture elements accepted for the first time by the Western countries was ceramic and silk. China's silk was found in ancient Greece during the Roman era and since then China has become the “Country of Silk”. Chinese ceramics came to the West a bit later. It was during the Song Dynasty that Western countries started accepting Chinese ceramics, and soon after that Chinese Ceramics had became a new surprise to the Western Countries and had China known as the “Country of Porcelain”. Porcelain as a cultural element is considered not only as material but also as a spirit. When the Europeans came to know the porcelain material, they had gradually been influenced by its spiritual content. Delicateness of ceramic slowly became a widely accepted aesthetic style, added with other factors that shaped the formation of the Rococo style that became very popular in Europe. This article used desk study to analyze and summarize the following three aspects: first, the impact of Chinese ceramic art on Western Rococo art, second, the art appreciation of Rococo art and third, to elaborate the influence of Chinese Ceramic and aesthetic in Western Countries.

Full textAbstract:
Raffles introduced government directly in Java and tried to do various things that he considered useful for his government. It abolished the slave trade, forced labor and permanent surrender of cash crops, and gave farmers the freedom to choose their own crops to grow. Later he also introduced the land tenure system, which abolished the unpopular forced farming system established by the Dutch, in which crops were grown and handed over to the government. In addition, he ordered the restoration of the Borobudur temple and other temples, and allowed research related to these cultural buildings. During his reign, Raffles increased his knowledge of Javanese customs, history, beliefs, geography, and natural history and compiled information for a book which he would later publish. This has a very big influence when it is associated with the end of the British rule in Java, it has a direct and indirect impact on the development of information and appreciation of the reception of art and culture observers of the indigenous Javanese population from Europe.

Full textAbstract:
The Silk Road, a historical network of trade routes connecting East Asia to Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, facilitated profound cultural exchanges, including the transfer of artistic concepts and creations. The Western Liao dynasty (Qara Khitai), reigning from 1124 to 1218 over territories including present-day Xinjiang, marked an era of significant political and cultural importance. During this period, a unique artistic style emerged, seamlessly blending Chinese and Central Asian influences. This paper investigates the artistic interactions between China and Central Asia during the Silk Road and the Western Liao dynasty era. We explore to what extent the Silk Road and the Western Liao dynasty facilitated these interactions, pinpointing contributing factors and examining their impact on art evolution. The analysis includes three cases of jade ware. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the artistic interactions between China and Central Asia during the Western Liao dynasty had a profound impact on both regions, leaving an enduring legacy. It underscores the interconnectedness of civilizations along the Silk Road and highlights the universal language of art, transcending boundaries to foster mutual understanding and cooperation. By exploring this shared history through art, we deepen our appreciation for the power of artistic expression to bridge gaps and connect diverse cultures across time and space.

"The Curricular Reform of Art Education in Primary School in Slovenia in Terms of Certain Components of the European Competence of Cultural Awareness and Expression." Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal 2, no. 2 (June 30, 2012): 71–90. http://dx.doi.org/10.26529/cepsj.386.
Full textAbstract:
One of the important positions of the last curricular reform in Slovenia, which included systemic issues of education (White Paper on Education, 2011) and curricula for compulsory subjects in primary school, is the fact that Slovenia has been integrated into Europe, and thus education should also include the development of core European competences. One such competence is cultural awareness and expression, which until now has been an issue more in the context of cultural policies than school policies in Slovenia. The purpose of the present article is to critically analyse the curricular reform of art education (i.e., visual art education), through which, in terms of certain components of the competence of cultural awareness and expression, it is foreseen that the student will gain a knowledge of art, develop an ability to experience works of art and develop a creative attitude towards art and heritage.Because the starting point and goal of curricular change is the curriculum, our analysis is derived from curriculum theories, and not from the art theories and pedagogical theories that have predominantly framed previous attempts at curriculum analysis. Critical consideration of the curricular reform of art education in primary school in terms of certain components of the competence of cultural awareness and expression was undertaken by comparing curricula in the field of aesthetic education. We compared art education with music education and literature within the Slovenian language curriculum. Qualitative analysis showed that, despite the reform, the curriculum for arts education does not realise selected components of the competence of cultural awareness and expression, largely due to the curriculum’s conceptual structure. Art education is centred principally on art-making activities, with an obviousneglect of appreciation. The integration of arts subjects at school, as proposed by the White Paper, is therefore not possible, due to the existing model of art education. From a practical point of view, the analysis also raised the question of the knowledge and competences of teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Piano originated in Europe. It is a keyboard instrument invented by Italian Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1709, known as the king of musical instruments. It is often used in solo, accompaniment, ensemble and other performances. The piano came into China at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. At first, the appreciation and acceptance of the piano by Chinese people was not high. Later, foreign missionaries often used the piano in the church. As time went by, people’s acceptance of piano increased day by day. After the founding of new China, China’s pianists won many awards in international piano competitions. After the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly, and it has also absorbed the culture from all over the world. More and more Chinese people begin to appreciate piano music and learn to play. Piano education has also entered the public’s vision. In higher education, many art colleges and universities have set up piano learning related courses. Piano is no longer a rare thing hundreds of years ago, but gradually integrated into Chinese culture. At present, China’s piano education has been orderly popularized, occupying a place in art education, but at the same time there are also some aspects worth thinking about the piano education in the cultivation of aesthetic and artistic accomplishment. From the current situation and development of China’s piano education this paper gives the corresponding countermeasures.

Full textAbstract:
The 4th CIRP International Conference on High Performance Cutting had been held at the Nagaragawa Convention Center in Gifu City of Japan in October 2010. The scope of the conference was to review and discuss the visions, state of the art and innovations in the area of high performance cutting and related manufacturing technologies. This conference is originated from the CIRP Working Group in High Performance Cutting established by Professor G. Byrne in 2001. After four workshops in Europe, the 1st international conference on HPC was held in Aachen in 2004 chaired by Professor Byrne and Professor F. Klocke. The second one was held in Vancouver under the chairmanship of Professor Y. Altintas and the 3rd one was organized by Professor Byrne and Dr. O’connell in Dublin. In this conference, 144 interesting papers were presented from 19 countries. The editorial committee of IJAT selected the excellent papers presented at the conference and requested the authors to contribute manuscripts in expanded version of conference papers. As a result, 25 papers were accepted for the publication. I believe that this special issue provides the readers valuable information at the leading edge of manufacturing technologies. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of the authors and reviewers for their invaluable effort.

Simon, Anne. "The Unpleasant Taste of Death: The Challenge of Industrial Livestock to Literature." Colloquia 50 (December 30, 2022): 79–89. http://dx.doi.org/10.51554/coll.22.50.06.
Full textAbstract:
Industrial livestock production with its communication strategy aimed at concealing a filthy death and the bad taste of the meat produced has become an important motif in contemporary literature. How to create a narrative about the quiet life of animals that blend in a large herd? A life that is ruthlessly framed by a beginning (insemination) and an end (slaughter) lacks deviation and adventure—it lacks the possibility of becoming the material for a novel. The aim of this article is to examine the poetic devices and ethical aspirations of an emerging genre called the ‘agroalimentary novel,’ which depicts animals for profit and recreates their unique existence worthy of a story. Agroalimentary novels have become increasingly common in Europe and the Americas in the last decade. They raise the issue of taste very plainly: in Latin (gustus) and Old French (in the 12th c., gost and in the 13th c., goust), ‘taste’ is understood literally and figuratively, and is linked to the sense and appreciation of taste. The meaning of taste is associated with aesthetics, and not only with the senses, but also with art, not only with the body, but also with social issues; it refers to both practical activities and norms. How do the themes of livestock production and slaughterhouses relate to the issue of taste? Writers and readers find the aesthetics of the traditional novel problematic. When depicting it, some become inarticulate, while others are confronted with the inability to talk about it. In both cases, they confront the impossible symbolic act of appropriation. Loathing and disgust that is physically expressed and less humanly focused, even more distinctly than in the work of Jean Paul Sartre or in the various accounts of war, have entered literature.

Full textAbstract:
"„Sok szíves üdvözlettel régi barátos...” (“With kind regards, your old friend...”). Coriolan Petranu’s Friendly Connections to the Hungarian Historians. Coriolan Petranu is the founder of modern art history education and scientific research in Transylvania. He had received special education in this field of study that is relatively new in the region. He started his studies in 1911 at the University of Budapest, attending courses in law and art history. During the 1912-1913 academic year he joined the class of Professor Adolph Goldschmiedt (1863-1944) at the Friedrich-Wilhelm University in Berlin. The professor was an illustrious personality from the same generation as art historians Emil Mâle, Wilhelm Vögte, Bernard Berenson, Roger Fry, Aby Warburg, and Heinrich Wölfflin, specialists who had provided a decisive impetus to art historical research during the twentieth century. In the end of 1913, Coriolan Petranu favored Vienna, with its prestigious art historical school attached to the university from the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There he completed and perfected his education under the supervision of Professor Josef Strzygowski (1862-1941). The latter scholar was highly appreciated for his contributions to the field of universal art history by including the cultures of Asia Minor (Syria, Mesopotamia, Armenia, and Persia), revealing the influence that this area had on proto-Christian art, as well as by researching ancient art in Northern Europe. In March 1920 the young art historian successfully defended his doctoral dissertation entitled Inhaltsproblem und Kunstgeschichte (”Content and art history”). He thus earned his doctor in philosophy title that opened him access to higher education teaching and art history research. His debut was positively marked by his activity as museographer at the Fine Art Museum in Budapest (Szepműveszeti Muzeum) in 1917-1918. Coriolan Petranu has researched Romanian vernacular architecture (creating a topography of wooden churches in Transylvania) and his publications were appreciated, published in the era’s specialized periodicals and volumes or presented during international congresses (such as those held in Stockholm in 1933, Warsaw in 1933, Sofia in 1934, Basel in 1936 and Paris in 1937). The Transylvanian art historian under analysis has exchanged numerous letters with specialists in the field. The valuable lot of correspondence, comprising several thousands of letters that he has received from the United States of America, Great Britain, Spain, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary, Poland, the USSR, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Egypt represents a true history of the stage and development of art history as a field of study during the Interwar Period. The archive of the Art History Seminary of the University in Cluj preserves one section dedicated to Hungarian letters that he has send to Hungarian specialists, art historians, ethnographers, ethnologists or colleagues passionate about fine art (Prof. Gerevich Tibor, Prof. Takács Zoltán, Dr. Viski Károly, Count Dr. Teleki Domokos). His correspondence with Fritz Valjavec, editor of the “Südostdeutsche Forschungen” periodical printed in München, is also significant and revealing. The letters in question reveal C. Petranu’s significant contribution through his reviews of books published by Hungarian art historians and ethnographers. Beyond the theoretical debates during which Prof. Petranu has criticized the theories formulated by Prof. Gerevich’s school that envisaged the globalization of Hungarian art between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period and that also included in this general category the works of German masters and artists with other ethnic backgrounds, he has also displayed a friendly attitude and appreciation for the activity/works of his Hungarian colleagues (Viski Károly and Takács Zoltán). The previously unpublished Romanian-Hungarian and Hungarian-Romanian set of letters discussed here attest to this. Keywords: Transylvania, correspondence, vernacular architecture, reviews, photographs, Gerevich Tibor, Dr. Viski Károly "

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is devoted to the creation of private museums of medieval icons and ‘primitives’ in Russia and Western Europe at the start of the twentieth century. One of these museums belonged to a famous Russian collector and artist, Ilya Ostroukhov (1858–1929). Ostroukhov shared a similar appreciation for ‘primitives on a gold background’ with the American art historian, art dealer and collector Bernard Berenson (1865–1959), a taste that Berenson had started to cultivate by the end of the nineteenth century. Taking as examples Russian, Italian and American collections of ancient icons, this chapter demonstrates common tendencies in the discovery, study and collecting of medieval icons and Italian ‘primitives’, as well as new trends in the European art market.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSword culture is a complex phenomenon that encompasses the dimensions of sword-making and polishing, sword appreciation, technical skills associated with the use of the sword, i.e., swordsmanship, as well as the written and oral traditions related to the transmission of fencing. In recent years, this diverse heritage in China and Italy has drawn increasing attention from both professional scholars and the historical martial art community. However, efforts to directly compare Asian and European historical fencing and sword culture are extremely rare. Written in the form of a dialogue with the pioneering researcher Maestro Roberto Gotti, who has been at the forefront of reconstructing Renaissance Italian martial arts for the past two decades, this study is an initial foray to compare Chinese and Italian two-handed sword traditions of the early modern period (circa 1400–1630). At the same time, the author recognizes the inherent challenges to such an undertaking, such as the fact Italian and Chinese martial arts have come down to us in very different states. While Chinese martial arts continue to be practiced as a living art, Italian martial arts have mainly survived in written form. On the other hand, notwithstanding the difficulties in interpretation, Italy has preserved far more documents from which contemporary scholars may seek to uncover the past. At the same time, there are numerous differences in the way fencing knowledge was recorded, which creates an additional layer of complexity for cross-cultural comparison. In summary, considering all the difficulties inherent in this research, the findings presented here are tentative and meant to stimulate discussion and further research—no more than “throwing a stone to attract jade” as the Chinese saying goes—rather than serve as a definitive comparative statement of Chinese and Italian swordsmanship. The reader is encouraged to read Gotti’s The Dynamic Sphere: Thesis on the Third State of the Vitruvian Man and the reply to this study, jointly written by Gotti and Penso (appended to the end of this chapter), in order to form a more complete view of the dialogue.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCultural exclusion in older age is conceptually under-developed and empirically under-explored. This results in a lack of knowledge concerning the mechanisms through which cultural exclusion is produced and the policy instruments that support cultural inclusion in later life. This article explores how cultural practice changes in old age and how these changes associate with old-age social exclusion. Cultural participation comprises (a) going-out, (b) home-bound and (c) identity-culture. These domains are explored with survey data (n = 1000) of Austrians aged 60 years and older.Results suggest shifting cultural practice later in life, from public to private spaces, and three clusters of cultural participants (Omnivore, Univore-Television (TV), Univore-Entertainment), which differ in their cultural practice, social status, and taste preferences. Univores-TV are typically involved in home-bound cultural practices, most likely to be socially excluded, and show the highest appreciation of folk art. Disengagement from public cultural spaces is, hence, more prevalent among socially marginalised groups with folk tastes.Gerontology needs to problematize older adults’ exclusion from cultural practice as a matter of spatial and taste marginalisation. In order to build more age-inclusive cultures across Europe, policy should address the diversity of older adults’ cultural participation and provide support in bringing marginalised practices to public spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Moorcroft’s reputation as a designer continued to grow in these years. His newly launched SunRay tea ware attracted the attention of the influential Council for Art and Industry, and was selected for exhibition both at home and abroad as a model of progressive design. But Moorcroft was openly critical of what he saw as the CAI’s narrow appreciation of his work. He asserted his independence in a letter to The Times, criticising the CAI’s selection criteria for the British display at the International Exhibition of Art and Technology in Paris, 1937, and provocatively exhibited his own selection of decorative pieces in the International Pavilion. His exhibit inspired an article in La Revue moderne which identified in his work a timeless moral value, a particularly significant response at a time when culture was becoming increasingly politicised in Europe. Not coincidentally, he publicised the prominent display of his work in the culturally tolerant Deutsches Museum in Munich, a gesture all the more eloquent as politically motivated exhibitions of National Socialist and of Degenerate Art were taking place less than a mile away at just this time. Moorcroft’s work was appreciated for what one critic called its ‘real truth’; his international reputation as a ceramic artist had never been higher. This double success as designer and artist was unparalleled at a time when the gulf between industrial and studio production was at its deepest. And it doubtless inspired Blackie to invite Moorcroft to write a book on his work; it would have followed publications by two of the most influential potters and instructors of the time, Gordon Forsyth and Dora Billington, who had each recently examined from different perspectives the future relationship of studio pottery and industrial design. The project, though, was barely begun, and only jottings survive which sketch out some of his guiding principles, not least his commitment to integrity in design. Moorcroft’s exhibition at the New York World’s Fair of 1939 again drew the attention of the national press. Ledgers indicate that his sales income was also steadily rising, although not by enough to completely offset the relentless increase in costs. The declaration of war would bring its own problems.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOne important aspect in the study and appreciation of arms is the techniques and methods for their decoration. The wide range of materials and techniques used in the creation of swords and daggers were intended to add to the aesthetic qualities of functional items, either for everyday or ceremonial use. Throughout the ages, beautiful swords and daggers were worn by the elite and were presented to warriors and courtiers as gifts to symbolize victory, honor, virility, and to reinforce the bond of loyalty. They were also worn by men as jewelry of prestige and status. Techniques used by artisans to embellish these swords and bladed weapons are the subject of this paper. Examples from museums and private collections are selected to demonstrate the exquisite craftsmanship of gilding and coloring, inlay and damascening, stone and gem-setting, embossing, chasing and engraving, enameling, 3D carving, wiring and filigree, etching and openwork. This chapter focuses on how these techniques were used to produce distinctive details of decorated antique swords and daggers of Eastern origins from the Ottoman empire, Persia, and India.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLay judges are citizens with particular knowledge of and experience with the judiciary. The findings of a survey among the lay judges of ten judiciaries are examined in this chapter. It is found that the perceptions of lay judges of judicial independence, their own as well as that of the professional judges, are very similar to the perceptions of the professional judges. In addition, lay judges are most positive about their independence, when they participate in judicial panels together with professional judges and when they are taken seriously by the professional judges. For them, these conditions surpass sitting alone as a judge. Although selection effects may play a role, the results indicate that experience as a lay judge leads to a much higher appreciation of judicial independence than that of (highly educated) citizens in general. This in turn indicates that the views of the general public are too negative about judicial independence.

Abstract Opening its door to 3.6 million Syrians, Turkey is host to the largest refugee population today (UNHCR 2020). In addition to providing them with humanitarian aid, Turkey has made academic and financial reforms to enhance Syrian refugees‘ access to higher education (Ergin and de Wit 2019). Thanks to these reforms, over 27,034 Syrian refugees accessed Turkish universities as of the end of 2019 (CoHE 2020). Appreciating this humanitarian effort of an emerging country without abundant resources, this study questions how the government policy of enhancing Syrian refugees‘ access to Turkish universities could be more inclusive. In this respect, using available official statistics of current Syrian students in Turkish higher education, this study reveals which Syrian refugees have accessed higher education in Turkey and what should be done to enhance the access of other Syrian refugees who are left behind there.

Assisted reproductive technology has introduced a large scope of medical solutions for infertile couples to found a family, however surrogacy seems to be the most debated, as it triggers many ethical and legal questions. The multicolor of legal reactions to this sensitive issue can be represented through the legislation of the three countries in the Central European region, despite the decision making ot the ECtHR and the continuously ongoing europeanization and unification of law in Europe. However, in this regard, the domestic legislation enjoys prime attention and significance, because the ECtHR approaches these cases with a relatively ,,open-mind“ by giving the member state a large margin of appreciation in their legislation of delicate topics. This carefulness of the ECtHR was represented in case of Austria, where it highlighted the importance of free discretion of the country to decide whether to constrain surrogacy or not. Austria with this validation could maintain its prohibitive legislation towards surrogacy, but could also permit certain assisted reproductive techniques. From the Slovak domestic legislation we can demonstrate how certain countries can take the path of the complete non-regulation of surrogacy methods. The lack of detailed regulation on ART, the implicit ,,ban“ on surrogacy arrangements, and the determination of motherhood on gestational basis all reflect and contribute to the conservative approach Slovakia generally demonstartes in the field of reproductive and sexual rights. One prime example of permitting legislation on surrogacy comes from Ukraine, where even commercial surrogacy has been acceptable since the 1990s. There, the domestic legislation tries to protect all the three subjects of the surrogacy arrangement, also lessens the complications when issuing the birth certificate of the child. Despite the complex legislation of ART, some key features and concepts are not taken into consideration in these laws, which may endanger the legal certainty of the parties. By examining all the three legal approaches (prohibition, permission, non-regulation) a state can chose in regulating surrogacy through the examples of Austria, Slovakia and Ukraine, we can conclude that neither of them may seem satisfactory. The lack of an European standard in this regard may cause serious inadequacies, on the other hand one shall respect the ethical and moral reasoning of the state when drafting a regulation on such a delicate issue. However, this free attitude may not be maintainable in the future, especially with the strong emergence of international surrogacy cases.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the author refers to one of the elite representatives of Romanian photographic art, Joseph Berman, a distinguished personality in the field of visual documentation, who contributed enormously to the development of ethnological field research. From a theoretical and practical perspective, a visual image immortalizes a moment in space and time, facilitating the recourse to the information it holds whenever needed. The photography can communicate to you several types of information, on the one hand, about the personality of the one who made this immortalization, revealing details about the preferences and skill of the master photographer, and on the other hand, it expresses realities, historical, social, ethnographic details of eternal temporal moments and habitats, motivating us to become critical consumers of visual images. For these reasons, the rhetoric of the image (Roland Barthes) becomes emblematic for ethnological research. Researchers in the field of Romanian ethnological photography delimit the period of flourishing (development) of visual documentation from the first half of the 20th century into two segments, the first up to Joseph Berman and the second – after him. With its affirmation in the photographic field, ethnological documentation took on color, becoming „alive”, loaded with deep meaning. The famous sociologist Dimitrie Gusti, appreciating his talent, called him: „co-author of the image of the Romanian village and peasant” and, rightly, did not accept a monographic campaign through the villages of Romania without Berman’s skill and talent, considering any other type of ethnological research compromised from the start.

Full textAbstract:
The European Court of Human Rights is currently facing a challenge in dealing with numerous applications linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions aiming to protect human life and health, which, at the same time, limit some of the most important human rights and fundamental freedoms. Legal scholars have voiced different views as to the complexity of this task, invoking the previous case law on infectious diseases and on military emergencies to infer standards that would be transferrable to COVID-19-related cases, or the margin of appreciation of domestic authorities pertaining to health care policy as the approaches ECtHR could take in this respect. The present paper argues that the ECtHR would be well advised to resort to a more systemic integrated approach, which implies the need to consider obligations emanating from other health-related international instruments in setting the standards against which it will assess the limitations of human rights during the COVID-19 outbreak. Hence, the authors reflect on the potential contribution of the integrated approach to the proper response of the ECtHR in times of the pandemic. The review shows that both the ECtHR’s caselaw on the integrated approach, as well as its theoretical foundation leave enough room for a wide application by the ECtHR of the right to health, and likewise – soft law standards emanating from the various public health-related instruments, when adjudicating cases dealing with the alleged violations of human rights committed during the COVID-19 outbreak. Subsequently, the paper critically assesses to what extent the ECtHR has taken into account the right to health-related instruments in its previous case law on infectious diseases. This is followed by a review of the existing, albeit sparse, jurisprudence of the ECtHR in its ongoing litigations pertaining to restrictions provoked by COVID-19 pandemic, viewing them also in the context of the integrated approach. The analysis shows that ECtHR did not systemically utilize the integrated approach when addressing the right to health, even though it did seem to acknowledge its potential. The authors then go on to scrutinize the relevant health emergency standards stemming from international documents and to offer them as a specific guidance to the ECtHR regarding the scope of the right to health which will help in framing the analysis and debate about how the right to health is guaranteed in the context of COVID-19. Consequently, building on the proposed integrity approach, examined theoretical approaches, and standards on the right to health acknowledged in relevant supranational and international instruments, the authors formulate guidance on the path to be taken by the ECtHR.

Human activity on the planet has created ecological problems, and it is necessary to find new solutions to the sustainable development of rural areas, thereby affecting the rural areas socially, economically, culturally and environmentally. Sustainable development allows society to increase prosperity, and one of the pillars of prosperity is an attractive living environment. Modern society�s perception tends to change, highly appreciating the need for local economic development. Each country applies a different approach to achieving its sustainable development goals. One of the potential solutions in this context could be the establishment of bioregions. The establishment of bioregions in the European Union is still at the initial stage, and an assessment of the current situation is very urgent. A strategic framework in place at all policy-making levels is essential to ensure the sustainable use and preservation of natural resources and to promote regional cooperation and sustainable development. In Latvia, bioregions are a new concept, which has no specific legal framework. However, the establishment of potential bioregions is largely affected by multilateral agreements between the UN and EU Member States, which are binding on Latvia and aimed at sustainable development, biodiversity and mitigating climate change. The present research employed document analysis to identify bioregion establishment processes and the drivers thereof. The research aims to analyse the strategic policy documents in order to summarize the policy conceptions of sustainable territorial development for the establishment of bioregions. The research was conducted with the support of fundamental and applied research project No. lzp2022/1-0519 Bio-regions as an Integrated Strategy for Sustainable Rural Development in Latvia.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract For the last few years, the HVAF process has been established as a commercially used process and has gained an increasing share in the market of thermal spraying. The main thermal spray materials being used for HVAF spraying have been those based on the tungsten carbide family. Economical aspects and European regulations on chemicals management REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) have motivated the demand for thinner WC based coatings, which are still dense and wear resistant. This demand has progressively increased, and the trend shows a further growth in the need for thermal spray feedstock for HVAF sprayed net shape coatings. The challenge for powder producers lies in providing suitable spray powders, with high and consistent quality as well as in considerable volume, to be able to make reliable recommendations to the users of HVAF technology. A deeper understanding of powder requirements for net shape coatings, matching the needs with new powder solutions, and appreciation of the differences in behavior or performance depending on powder type are essential to address the above challenges and constitutes the theme of this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Designing pipelines for CO2 transport comes with unique challenges when compared to conventional oil and gas transportation systems. One of which is the proximity of the CO2-rich fluid phase boundary to typical operating conditions. There are also significant risks specific to non-routine, planned operations which cross this phase boundary - such as depressurisation. This paper discusses how changes in environmental conditions can impact the safe depressurisation of CO2 pipelines. During depressurisation of a CO2 pipeline, cold temperatures are a risk due to the high Joule Thomson (JT) coefficient of CO2-rich gas. When the contents of the pipeline transition from dense to gas phase, heat will also be absorbed from the system's surroundings to supply the latent heat of vaporisation. The combination of these factors means that the surrounding ambient conditions can greatly impact the requirements for safe depressurisation. To investigate this impact, the depressurisation of three representative CO2 pipelines have been investigated using thermohydraulic modelling software, considering varying ambient conditions from Wood's project experience. The results show that factors such as ambient temperatures, wind velocities/seabed current, and the thermal conductivity of the surrounding soil have a first order impact on the minimum temperatures expected during depressurisation. The properties of the soil, such as dryness and composition - rarely the focus of detailed environmental analysis - are noted to have a particularly high impact on the minimum temperatures expected. Depending on the minimum wall design temperatures and pipeline length, this can result in significant minimum durations required to safely depressurise CO2 pipelines. It should be noted that a reasonable and economical approach for depressurisation is to assume a constant heat flux. Such an assumption provides an order of magnitude estimate as a screening procedure to determine if a more detailed survey is needed. However, in reality, the depressurisation event would cause the temperature of the soil to drop, which impacts the heat transfer from soil to pipeline. This will be discussed on a high level, with reference made to the finite element method adopted by some industry leading software packages. The case studies shown provide an understanding of how forecast conditions during these operations can determine system design margins and increase operational risks in very different ways depending on the installed pipeline environment. The outcome is an increased awareness on the importance of early project phase CO2 transport insights for transport assurance and asset integrity, and an appreciation of current best practice for CO2 pipeline modelling.

Full textAbstract:
The new paradigms derived from the implantation of the European Higher Education Area entail a relevant increase in the use of active methodologies focused on the development of competences, encouraging the participation and involvement of the student in the learning process. In the context of the Degree in Computer Engineering at the Universidade da Coruña, different itineraries or mentions are offered, which in addition to the general and transversal competences, deepen in the competences of each speciality. The Final Degree Project (FDP) of this degree deals with complex real-world problems that often require skills from different specialisations. With the aim of ensuring that the students acquire specific knowledge from other specialisations as a complement for the preparation of their FDP, this work proposes a teaching innovation strategy based on multi-speciality cooperative learning with FDP students from the mentions in Software Engineering and Computing. In order to evaluate the impact of this teaching innovation strategy, the students involved have answered an anonymous questionnaire, showing in general a high degree of satisfaction regarding the level of learning, the development of competences as well as the overall appreciation of the proposal.

Teachers play a key role in modernising education. Their competences have a direct effect upon students' achievements. In the context of rapid technological, economic, social and cultural change, teachers are facing new demands as well as changes in their professional roles. The quality of continuous professional development is essential not only for improving educational performance, but also for enhancing teachers' professional identity, responsibility and awareness of their own professional development. The project titled Continuous Professional Development of Technological Sciences Teachers in the Knowledge Society, co-funded by the European Commission through the Sectoral Operational Programme Human Resources Development, provided technological sciences teachers in Romania with relevant opportunities for continuous professional development, consisting in teacher training and experience exchange with teachers in this specific curricular area, using a collaborative online platform. A blended instructional approach was used in the curriculum design and delivery of the course modules - Habilitation on Curriculum, and Continuous Professional Development on Differentiated Instruction. This paper aims to present some findings of the evaluation report on the teacher training program mentioned above, following: the curriculum design and program implementation; the impact of the training program; the program outcomes, according to the perceptions of the direct beneficiaries - technological sciences teachers; the degree of the portal accessibility and usage. The retrospective appreciation of the training program value is subsumed to the objectives of providing education and training professionals with recommendations for improving the training program and activities promoted through the portal, and developing similar programmes at local, regional or national level.

Full textAbstract:
Floyd Rudman (2003) notes that by enlarge, contemporary theory posits biculturalism as a positive and adaptive phenomenon. However, as early as 1936, commentators like Redfield et al. proposed that “psychic conflict” can result from attempts to reconcile different social paradigms inside bicultural adaptation (p. 152). Child (1943/1970) also argued that biculturalism cannot resolve cultural frustrations and accordingly, they can be more distressing than a commitment to one culture or the other. The tensions these early theorists noted I found significant when writing and directing my recent feature film PUNCH (Ings, 2022). When creating this work I drew on both my Māori and Pākehā (European) ancestry, and my experience as a gay man who was raised in a heteronormative world. In creating the film’s characters I navigated tensions, working within and between cultural spaces as I wove experience into a fictional examination of what it is to be an outsider in a world that you call home. In this pursuit, I often found myself transgressing borders in my effort to give voice to an in-betweenness that was impure and at times disruptive. While being appreciative of cultural values and practices, I sought ways of expressing identities that are liminal. However, in designing the in-between, like many bicultural creatives I faced accusations of diminished purity. Significantly, I found myself encountering a form of cultural monitoring and pressure to reshape what I knew to be embodied truth because it failed to sit comfortably with the presuppositions of culturally anxious funding bodies, producers and distributors. Their opinions as to what authentically characterised cultural spaces (to which they did not belong), proved challenging. This was because ultimately I knew that audiences for the film would contain people from the in-between, from the liminal, the underrepresented and the marginalised … who would be seeking an expression of lived experiences that rarely appear in cinema. Using scenes from the film PUNCH, this presentation unpacks ways in which cultural networking, verification and responsibility were navigated to reinforce an attitudinal position of ‘positive cultural dissonance’ (Faumuina, 2015). By adopting this stance, I no longer saw biculturality as a diminishment or watering down of integrity, instead it was appreciated as a space of fertile tension and creative synergy. Using positive cultural dissonance as my turangawaewae (place to stand), I negotiated a research project that pursued the resilient beauty of in-betweenness in a story of bicultural, gender non-binary, small town conflict and resolution.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this report is to map, conceptually and empirically, the diverse elements that constitute rightwing extremism. The aim is to offer readers a guide to this complexity and an appreciation for the numerous ideas, actors, and outcomes associated with RWE. The report is divided into two parts. The first focuses on the conceptual issues associated with RWE while the second explores how this complexity plays out in practice by examining various ways in which RWE has framed and reacted to Islam. This case study was selected as it illustrates the intricacies of varied and evolving RWE responses and because Islam and Muslims are often a major target of RWE violence and hostility. In Part 1 we caution against describing RWE as a single movement or an ideology given that those associated with RWE, overall, lack the common bonds that bind members of a movement together. We explore the substance of this complexity and summarize the key features on a schema focusing on actors, ideas, and outcomes associated with RWE. In Part 2 we illustrate, with reference to this conceptual complexity, how a plethora of mainly European RWE approaches to Islam underscores the pluralism of ideas and interpretations within RWE. This ideological plurality steers its proponents in divergent directions and results in varied outcomes. Not only do right-wing extremists, including those inspired by white supremacism, nationalism, and cultural nativism, adopt divergent positions on the issue, their approach ranges widely from co-optation and inspiration to non-engagement and outright hostility. These divergent positions, in turn, differ depending on local contexts, frames of reference, core beliefs, and individuals’ interpretations of each of these factors. This heterogeneity has important implications for practitioners, policymakers and those who study RWE movements. Importantly, perceptions of threat are not constant or consistent across RWE movements. Varied threat perceptions can, in turn, produce different types of violence and extremism, with a diverse and inconsistent list of potential targets for violent acts, potential allies, and perceived constituents among RWE actors.
