The research goal is to identify the modern balletfeatures, which actively uses innovative methods. The study objectives are to collect and analyze the opinions of art experts and critics on the issues of modern ballet in Western European theater productions. The analysis period was chosen for the three years 2020-2022.The research methodology is based on a systematic approach and includes the methods of the general scientific group (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction), as well as a number of special methods: content analysis of scientific literature on the research topic; sociological survey method; as well as the method of statistical analysis. The survey results were analyzed using the Neural Designer program (a tool for advanced statistical analytics) and translated into a graphical diagram format for clarity of perception.Answers in 60 questionnaires were evaluated by the average score for each analysis criterion, which made it possible to bring all the calculations to a 10-point scale. Based on the results of the study, the article author concluded the following: in modern productions, symbolism manifests itself as the dominance of «body language» over musical informativeness, over stage design. The action development takes place within the classical framework, but with the use of a postmodern concept regarding the dancechoreography.","PeriodicalId":37633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Namibian Studies","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76751426","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}

The researcher uses a quasi-experimental research design to accomplish the study's goals. 62 pupils in the tenth grade made up the study's participants; they were split into two groups: a control group (n = 31) and an experimental group (n = 31). While the latter is instructed utilizing the Padlet app, the former is instructed conventionally. Pre-post-tests of scientific thinking abilities were used to collect the data, and these tests underwent validity and reliability checks. The results showed that using Padlet to improve students' biology learning performance is helpful. Between the means of the two groups, there were statistically significant differences in favour of the experimental group, which performed better on the post-test. The outcomes also showed a statistically significant difference in favour of the experimental group for both the overall performance of skills and the score of each ability individually on the post-test of scientific thinking skills. The study came to various conclusions in light of the data, the most crucial of which is the requirement to keep using the Padlet app in instruction.","PeriodicalId":37633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Namibian Studies","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74887150","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}

Second, it was found that the average respondent's behavioral intention was 4.10 out of 5, or the category agreed to use telemedicine services. Viewed from the seven measurement variables, the average response of respondents is 65%, or Telemedicine is categorized as well received. The younger generation has a good perception of telemedicine services, and the existence of behavioral intention indicates individual readiness to use telemedicine services not only during the pandemic but also after the passing of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study proposes an improved measurement of spiritual value using the concept of Islamic spirituality and tries to implement it in Baznas of Berau Regency, East Kalimantan Province of Indonesia. Measurements were taken on a sample of 60 mustahik who had experienced the economic empowerment program. The measurement results show that, the condition of mustahik after the program show improvement in material and spiritual values.

This confirmed that the pledge of allegiance to the imam was voluntary and without coercion. Guidance with opponents and enemies has always taken precedence over fighting against them. Fighting was not the easy way, but rather the path of irreplaceable oppression. The Imam, may God bless him and grant him peace, did not start fighting with anyone, and he raised the principle (Do not fight them until they start against you, praise be to God, so argue, and leave them until they give you another argument against them). During his caliphate, Imam Ali (may God bless him and grant him peace) faced many challenges that he managed to overcome with steadfastness in Islamic principles. You find divine justice in its best form in the judgment of Imam Ali. It is also noted that Imam Ali (PBUH) worked hard so as not to shed a single drop of blood unjustly with his sword, and he believed that the survival of his ants alive was more beloved to him than what he owed to him in terms of controlling the whole world. Imam Ali (pbuh) adhered to all the foundations and provisions laid down by the Prophet of Mercy, the Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and obliged his army to do so, embodying a practical reality in the battles fought by Imam Ali (pbuh).","PeriodicalId":37633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Namibian Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88424530","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}
