{"title":"Examining the Impact of Continuous Dance on Emotions and Factors Influencing Dance Self-Efficacy","authors":"NA YU, LIU XIAOLEI","doi":"10.59671/lbnzk","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59671/lbnzk","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: The COVID-19 outbreak since 2019 seriously affected both physical and mental health, making relief for long-term negative emotions a top priority. While dance behavior in physical education is known to alleviate negative emotions, few researchers explored its effect after sudden crises like COVID-19 and antecedents of sustained dance behavior, i.e., factors influencing dance self-efficacy under such specific conditions. This study conducts empirical research by distributing 307 questionnaires to dance school students from two universities in China and South Korea, aiming to address gaps in related fields and offer guidance to future researchers and practitioners.nnMethods: In this study, structural equation modeling was carried out using a questionnaire. Empirical data were collected separately from two universities in China and Korea to examine the relationship between the constructs. Theoretical framework construction utilized the stimulus-organism-response framework and social cognitive theory for an in-depth exploration of the psychological factors affecting dance self-efficacy and whether continuous dance behavior can alleviate negative emotions after a crisis.nnResults: The findings reveal that dance self-efficacy emerges as a crucial factor in sustaining individuals' ongoing dance intentions, with dance activities positively impacting mood improvement. Both mastery experience and vicarious experience significantly influence dance self-efficacy, albeit with differing effects. Mastery experience positively enhances dance self-efficacy, while vicarious experience has a negative impact. Augmented feedback also affects dance self-efficacy, though to a lesser extent compared to the former two factors. In contrast, physiological and affective states differ from those in other disciplines as common sources for evaluating dance self-efficacy. Moreover, environmental factors influence dance self-efficacy in the aftermath of a crisis or external stimulus. nnDiscussion: This study extends the stimulus-organism-response framework and social cognitive theory to the context of physical education. It aims to reveal the antecedents of dance self-efficacy behavior in physical education activities and explore whether persistent dance activities after a sudden crisis have a soothing effect on emotions. The research results enrich the relevant literature on dance education and provide theoretical support and management inspiration for those engaged in physical education activities.","PeriodicalId":13651,"journal":{"name":"Interciencia","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135356766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to analyze the electrical and environmental characteristics of the process with the highest fire risk and suggest the fire risk and improvement measures. A total of 15,963 motors are installed and operating in the rubber product manufacturing factory A. We investigated 177 fire accidents that occurred for 19 years from 2002 to 2020 to analyze the installation environment of the motors in the curing and logistics processes, which are major fire risk locations and measure and analyze the temperature and the electrical signals such as current in the load/no-load, locked-rotor conditions due to trouble. The study found no particulars of the current and leakage current under the motor load and no load in the normal motor operating state. However, it confirmed the leakage current rapidly rose to a maximum of 897.8% due to the locked-rotor state in the trouble situation. It also confirmed that the motor temperature exceeded 40℃, the maximum temperature for environmental exposure, in the curing process exposed to a high temperature. The analysis of fires in the site showed the process accounted for the highest proportion of fires. This study is meaningful in that while existing studies were limited to locked-rotor state in the laboratory environment, it proved in an actual industrial site that the current increased more sharply as the motor status approached closer to the locked-rotor state.","PeriodicalId":13651,"journal":{"name":"Interciencia","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135102919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The term \"machinability of materials\" is a set of properties of the material being machined, which we monitor from the point of view of its suitability for production with a certain method of machining. When optimizing cutting conditions and tool life, it is necessary to use a certain optimization criterion within certain limiting conditions.

However, even if we assume it is treated water, it is not certain that drinking it would result in radiation exposure, but rather it might cause stomach discomfort. The definition of contaminated water can be described as \"water in a state where it is polluted or contains radioactive substances.\" On the other hand, treated water refers to water that has undergone specified water treatment in response to natural water sources. Fukushima effluents is only pre-treatment as ALPS process, so it is inadequate to simply call it treated water. In other hand, Korea’s Hanbit nuclear power plant discharged extremely warm effluent from cooling sea water in its plant condenser into the sea, which not only prevents fish from being caught in the nearby waters but also prevents the cultivation of seaweed. Currently, neighboring countries of Japan are relying on unscientific logic and raising their voices loudly regarding the release of Fukushima contaminated water, which is worrisome. However, this knowledge should not be confined to specialized knowledge but should be shared as basic common sense within society. Unfortunately, the world has largely neglected natural science and allowed itself to be swayed by fears that harm the world.","PeriodicalId":13651,"journal":{"name":"Interciencia","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135612104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the media does not genuinely advance societies since it distorts them and manipulates all types of information, leading to a loss of confidence practically all around the world, and leading humanity to social alienation. Media narratives and applications take us back to ideas that have been forgotten in the depth of history and show us how they are used in a variety of visual mediums, from TV show scripts to blockbuster films. As a result, we miss the opportunity to be truly, cognitively, emotionally, artistically, creatively, aesthetically, and intellectually human. Technically speaking, the type of common law used between the 12th - 19th century among the nations and civilizations where German culture predominates, the phrase\"Pandectic law\" is used to characterize the structure that Roman law developed through doctrine and practice. People in India, the Middle East, Rome, and nearly all of Europe once used such types of judgments. With the adoption of new legal and ethical criteria, national and international laws were modernized, and Pandect law was forgotten. However, it is still possible to see the traces and application of Pandect Law in many modern time narratives, especially Snowpiercer, which is one of the important films showing the dystopic future of humanity. This study aims to provide the links to see how modern media is taking its core power from myths and earlier times and connecting them to the predicted future of humanity even in the age of digitalization and AI. Specifically, the paper aims to exemplify the links between the Pandect Law of the 12th century and famous television serials or blockbuster films such as Snowpiercer. Based on a descriptive approach, this study aims to analyze the images, TV series, and movies using both structural and semiotic analysis methodology.","PeriodicalId":13651,"journal":{"name":"Interciencia","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135102905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
