The study sample includes 56 male and female students (28 male and 28 female) from Madaba Governorate's Al-Khansaa Secondary Comprehensive School for Girls. A two-group quasi-experimental design is used, with an experimental group and a control group. An achievement test, three educational games, and resources relating to three topics of supplication, travel etiquette, and playing etiquette, are produced and used by the researcher. The experimental group is taught these concepts through educational games in the schoolyard, while the control group receives traditional classroom instruction. SPSS software is used to conduct a statistical analysis. The achievement test results for the control and experimental groups do not indicate any statistically significant (α≤0.05) differences. The results reveal no statistically significant (α≤0.05) gender-related variations in the experimental group's level of success. The researchers suggest that Islamic education sessions might be designed to avoid the characteristic inertia, using extracurricular educational games.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49201954","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}

Studies have revealed that the guidelines adopted by the Yuan authority to promote the production and supply of textile raw materials such as ramie, silk and cotton were deeply influenced by traditional Chinese agricultural civilization,although the traditions of nomadic civilization were still reflected in these policies. Guidelines, while increasing the variety and quantity of levy in the Yuan Dynasty, served to maintain the rule of the Mongol regime and to consolidate the privileges of the nobility. Objectively, those guidelines also promoted the evolution of textile techniques at that time.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44948165","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}

Based on the provincial data onto 1990, 2000 and 2010, an empirical analysis using the multi-period mixed cross-sectional data (Pool Data) model shows that income inequality has a significant negative impact on health in China. The method constructed in this paper is used to decompose the contribution rate of macro effect and individual effect. The results show that the negative impact of macro effect accounts for 27.7%, while the impact of micro effect accounts for 72.3%. With the continuous improvement on GDP per capital in China, the impact of macro effect of income gaps between life expectancy is getting smaller and smaller. The macro effect contribution rate decreases year by year. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to reduce income inequality, but also to take targeted measures to reduce the negative impact of income inequality on individual health.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43083093","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}

It is therefore of vital significance to examine the ecological environmental protection and ecological culture, especially in some indigenous and border regions with rich natural resources. This paper analyses the problems faced by the development of ecological culture in Xishuangbanna Dai region of Yunnan from the perspective of the “Marxist view of nature” and explores its innovative and sustainable development paths. The article begins with an overview of the “Marxist view of nature”, followed by an explanation of the necessity of ecological culture construction in Xishuangbanna Dai region. It then provides an in-depth analysis of the ecological problems and concludes with responding suggestions and solutions. This study not only helps to understand the ecological culture and civilisation of ethnic minority groups and their ecological environment status quo, but also provides implications and theoretical value to the construction of global ecological culture and ecological civilisation.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45783517","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}

Maḥmūd Shāker is a literary critic who could have had some tangencies with many of the prominent intellectual trends in the early and mid-twentieth century, such as Salafism, Arabism, Islamism, and Nationalism. However, if a negative definition is sought to describe him, he can be classified under none of these groups. Magdy Wahba may be correct in what he went for; that Maḥmūd Shāker represents the voice of anti-colonial anger in the conscience of the Islamic orthodoxy.

Consumers may find it challenging to understand messages or communicating advertisements on pro-environmental actions. Accordingly, stimuli development was designed in this study using regulatory focus theory for the structural development of an advertisement message. The advertisement content was generated based on promotion and prevention regulatory focus messages. This pre-testing study involved 30 university students who were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions: promotion or prevention regulatory focus message (n = 15 per group). The data were analysed with an independent samples t-test. The advertisement with the promotion-focused message was more persuasive than that with the prevention-focused message. The findings suggest guidelines for practitioners to devise effective strategies when designing advertisements that will not only help firms obtain personal benefits but also benefit society and the environment.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48947743","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}

Some extracted highlights are the significant positive relationships between physical preparation, perceived level of program effectiveness, price, and level of customer involvement into new operational fitness services, the surprising non-relationship between customers’ health awareness and their involvement. Those findings are the foundations for fitness businesses in Vietnam to recover and develop in a new-normal post-Covid era.","PeriodicalId":89741,"journal":{"name":"Asian social science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46096943","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}
