It is one among the four most popular groups in this area, including the Mnong who speak the same language of Mon Khmer family, while both groups of the Jrai and the Rhade belong to the Malayo-Polynesian language family. These groups once captured fertile plateaus, left their cultural and artistic heritage which affected the remaining small groups. Despite the difference in ethnic origins, these groups seem to share similar beliefs, customs and related folk arts after a very long time living beside each other. However, through an in-depth study, this paper points out the fact that the decorative patterns used by the Bahnar are different from the other ethnic groups, especially in color. Based on historical materials from the local museums and some studies in 1980s when all of the ethnic groups in this area had still lived in selfsufficient condition, this paper characterizes the traditional color scheme used by the Bahnar and identifies the difference in decorative motifs of this group compared to the others by pointing out they do not use green in their usual decorative patterns. Moreover, combined with some field surveys recently, through comparative analysis, it also discovers stylistic variations of these patterns in the process of cultural exchange with the other ethnic groups, both in and out of the region, in modern living conditions. This study helps to preserve and promote the traditional values and cultural identity of the Bahnar people in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, avoiding the fusion of styles among groups during the cultural exchange.

Utilising Reuse and Recycling Strategies for Costume Design in Kuwait Theatre 利用再利用和回收策略在科威特剧院服装设计

{"title":"Utilising Reuse and Recycling Strategies for Costume Design in Kuwait Theatre","authors":"A. Dashti","doi":"10.7190/shu-thesis-00250","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7190/shu-thesis-00250","url":null,"abstract":"Kuwait does not currently make use of any methods for recycling textiles (Alsuilaili et al., 2014). This \u0000fact, combined with high levels of textile waste, has resulted in significant ecological issues that demand \u0000immediate attention (Alsuilaili et al., 2014). Reusing and recycling materials within the realms \u0000of theatrical costume design and production is therefore extremely important (Jones et al., 2013). However, \u0000in nations such as Kuwait, where the practice was commonplace prior to the Iraqi invasion, this \u0000is no longer the case (Al-Ghareb, 1988). This qualitative study sought to investigate current practices \u0000among Kuwaiti costumiers and then compare these to UK costumiers who provide an example of existing \u0000sustainable (reusing and recycling) costume design practices. It aimed to investigate the attitudes \u0000and perceptions of Kuwaiti costumiers towards reusing and recycling as ways of reducing textile waste. \u0000In keeping with Beveridge’s (1968) framework, this thesis utilised exploratory and participatory modes \u0000of primary research. Two different studies were conducted to gather primary data. First, a series of \u0000semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 UK and 13 Kuwaiti costumiers to elicit information \u0000and opinions on the costume design process and on sustainability. Second, three workshops were conducted \u0000with three Kuwait costumiers. Each workshop comprised three different design tasks: Level 1- \u0000Redesigning; Level 2- Makeover of garments; and Level 3- Complete costume design from scratch. In \u0000these tasks, Kuwaiti costumiers were asked to apply the different practices they employ when re-using \u0000and re-cycling and to discuss their attitudes towards such methods. The three different tasks therefore \u0000consisted of “talking and making”. A thematic analysis was then conducted to identify major themes \u0000related to the 3Rs of sustainability: reduce, reuse, recycle (Lyngaas, 2017; Rinkesh, 2018), and the extent \u0000to which Kuwaiti costumiers adhere to these practices. The findings from the interviews showed \u0000that there was considerable divergence between the two sets of costumiers in their attitudes towards \u0000sustainable practices. For instance, the key themes arising from the interviews from UK costumiers \u0000were a robust understanding of costume design, advanced technical skills and creativity, a focus on \u0000reuse and recycling and the skills and knowledge to implement these, and the use of long-term storage \u0000techniques. In contrast, the key themes arising from the interviews with Kuwaiti costumiers were an \u0000inadequate understanding of costume design, a preference for purchasing new costumes, a lack of skills \u0000and knowledge regarding reuse and recycling, and costume skills required for storage. The findings \u0000from the workshops confirmed that the Kuwait costumiers had very limited knowledge of sustainable \u0000practices and, consequently, even less idea how to successfully apply them. However, they were enthusiastic \u0000and keen to learn more.

To meet the need to develop students’ mathematical performance in schools the government has launched various initiatives using computers to impact on mathematical attainment. While it is clear that computers can change pedagogical practices, there is a dearth of qualitative studies indicating exactly how pedagogy is transformed with Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in a teaching activity. Consequently, this paper addresses the following question: how, along which dimensions in an activity, does pedagogy alter with the use of computer drill and practice software in four disadvantaged grade 6 mathematics classrooms in the Western Cape province of South Africa? The paper draws on Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) to develop a view of pedagogy as socially situated. Four ideal pedagogical types are identified: Reinforcement pedagogy, which has the reinforcement of specialised knowledge as its object; Collaborative pedagogy, which has the development of metacognitive engagement with specialised knowledge as its object; Directive pedagogy, which has the development of technical task skills as its object, and finally, Defensive pedagogy, which has student regulation as its object. Face-to-face lessons were characterised as predominantly Reinforcement and Collaborative pedagogy and most computer lessons were characterised as mainly either Defensive or Directive.","PeriodicalId":270569,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130574668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Criminal Justice System, Health and Imprisonment in India 印度的刑事司法系统、健康和监禁

{"title":"Criminal Justice System, Health and Imprisonment in India","authors":"Debolina Chatterjee, S. Chatterjee","doi":"10.5281/ZENODO.1126280","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/ZENODO.1126280","url":null,"abstract":"Imprisonment is an expansive concept, as it is regulated by laws under criminal justice system of the state. The state sets principles of punishment to control offenders and also puts limits to excess punitive control. One significant way through which it exercises control is through rules governing healthcare of imprisoned population. Prisons signify specialized settings which accommodate both medical and legal concerns. The provision of care operates within the institutional paradigm of punishment. This requires the state to negotiate adequately between goals of punishment and fulfilment of basic human rights of offenders. The present study is based on a critical analysis of prison healthcare standards in India, which include government policies and guidelines. It also demonstrates how healthcare is delivered by drawing insights from a primary study conducted in a correctional home in the state of West Bengal, India, which houses both male and female inmates. Forty women were interviewed through semi-structured interviews, followed by focus group discussions. Doctors and administrative personnel were also interviewed. Findings show how institutional practices control women through subversion of the role of doctors to prison administration. Also, poor healthcare infrastructure, unavailability of specialized services, hierarchies between personnel and inmates make prisons unlikely sites for therapeutic intervention. The paper further discusses how institutional practices foster gender-based discriminatory practices.","PeriodicalId":270569,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"abs/1307.3324 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125175247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China's Middle East Policy and the Competition with the United States 中国的中东政策及与美国的竞争

The hypothesis regards to three effective factors: “China’s energy dependency” on the Middle East, “economy” and support for “stability” in the Middle East. What is important in China’s competition with the U.S. regarding to its Middle East policy is the substantial difference in ways of treating the countries of the region; China is committed to Westphalia model based on noninterference in internal affairs of the countries and respect the sovereignty of the governments. However, after 9/11, the U.S is seeking a balance between stability and change through intervention in the international affairs and in some cases is looking for a regime change. From the other hand, China, due to its dependency on the region’s energy welcomes America’s military presence in the region for providing stability. The authors by using a descriptive analytical method try to explain the situation of rivalry between China and the United States in Middle East. China is an “emerging power” with high economic growth and in demand of more energy supply. The problem is that a rising power in the region is often a source of concern for hegemony.","PeriodicalId":270569,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129363126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
