Dialogue in the Arts: Interaction of Languages of Painting and Cinema

Explores the objectlanguage laws in visual arts and the interrelation of art signs that are employed in painting and cinematography. The author addresses the “Age of Innocence” by Martin Scorsese and analyses the cinema art speech as determined by the objectlanguage of the painting styles, namely the impressionism, pointillism, Art Nouveau, etc. The artistic culture is described as a dialogue space where languages of various types of arts reveal their origin from a single source and make their capacity of general understanding messages produced in culture obvious.

Project Proposal of Mural Painting in the Chapel of the Stieglitz Saint-Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry

This article is dedicated to common problems connected with a modern decorative program of Christian mural painting for a chapel or other compact liturgical architectural space. The article considers some neoclassical models, unrelated to the canonical language of an icon, and offers several practical recommendations for artists involved in the monumental church painting.

Motivation and Engagement as a Predictor of Students’ Science Achievement Satisfaction of Malaysian of Secondary School Students

Psychologists consider student engagement as a primary pathway by which motivational processes contribute to students’ learning and development (Connell - Wellborn, 1991). Academically engaged students self-regulate their learning, make plans for upcoming tasks, and persist when encountering obstacles and challenges. The present study intends to analyses the relationship between students' motivation and engagement and their academic satisfaction and test the effect of some variables (gender, class) on that relation. To accomplish these purposes, this study intends to investigate Malaysian primary school students' motivation, engagement and achievement satisfaction as predictors of achievement satisfaction in science and test the effect of some variables (gender, grade) on that relation. The students - 460 students (43 percent male, 57 percent female) of secondary school- responded to the Self-Developed Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire, Students' Engagement Questionnaire and Science Motivation Questionnaire. All the questionnaires are valid and reliable according to the Cronbach’s Alpha value. A Multiple linear regression analysis has been used to predict the achievement satisfaction of Science based on the level of students’ motivation and level of engagement in Science classroom. The findings showed that students have a good level of motivation, engagement and achievement satisfaction. Even though students’ motivation is significantly predicted students’ achievement, but neither students’ engagement nor achievement satisfaction are a significant predictor of students’ achievement.

Careers, Identities and Professionalization. a Study on Doctors about Their Social Representations Related to the Labor Market Today and its Foreseeable Future

This study is in line with the analyses of university and working career in their interaction in relation with conditioning factors. It comprises two central issues: the issue of identity bound to the issue of professionalization within the domain of training and employment. Nowadays, professionalization of the individuals, inside a troubled occupational world, demands the implementation of mechanisms favoring the development of both the individuals and the institution in which they work. All this has an impact at the local, regional and even national levels. Three levels of analysis interplay from a sui generis perspective: macro-meso-micro-macro (Aparicio, 2005; 2007a; 2007b, 2013a, 2014, 2015 b, d – See the Three- Dimensional Spiral of Sense Theory). The aim was to be aware of the doctors’ representations regarding the value of such degree under the present “degree devaluation”, and its impact on the professional future as well as on the core issues of the labor market which need urgent measures with a view to a belter interaction between the two systems. The methodology used was quanti-qualitative (semi-structured questionnaires, interviews, and hierarchical evocations). The population consisted of doctors (2005-2012) from the National University of Cuyo, in Argentina. The results helped us understand the nucleus of such representations and the peripheral aspects by career and institution, thus revealing professional and disciplinary identities. The professional identities show the situated needs in terms of professionalization within the different contexts and, particularly, within the labor market.

Biographical Narratives in Teaching: a Study of Professors on Postgraduate Courses

Literature and research have shown that professional development constitutes an essential dimension in constructing both work and professional identity. An important aspect in such development is training. In the field of adult education, different authors (Pratt, 1993; Mezirow, 1985; SchA¶n, 1996; Silva, 2007) emphasize the importance of placing trainees at the center of the learning and cognitive processes and within their corresponding social and historical contexts. Training is supported by a comprehensive adult learning theory. Therefore, the acquired knowledge is not only the result of an external and objective reality but also of a complex construction in which the appropriation of experience plays a relevant role. This paper reveals the findings obtained through biographical narratives in a five-year work program with teachers at different levels (from pre-school to higher education) on postgraduate courses. The core issue is the importance of biographical narratives, as an identification strategy for personal experience, knowledge construction and professional identity. This strategy provided the opportunity for recognition of practical experience, as a provider of learning, as well as his/her own authorship, which are important conditions in the understanding of professional identity.

Model Pengembangan Produktivitas Perajin Industri Bidai Di Wilayah Perbatasan

Social and economic phenomena seen among the various efforts to develop culture-basedhandicraft industry. Several groups of small business industry looks continue to live but with thecondition that no maximum. The quality of labor in the industry is determining the level ofproductivity of the industry output.Industry sector is the sector that absorbs labor andemployment issues is a crucial issue especially when it comes to productivity. This is due to theproductivity can be achieved when workers have a willingness to work with a boost in selfworker.Work will occur if the labor needs of both physical and non-physical being met. In thisstudy, the element of productivity is measured is associated with the quality of workerseducational level, expertise, skills and labor in handicraft industry studied where this industry isbuilt upon the characteristics of the local culture by low adoption of technologies that are likelyto improving the entrepreneurial skills.

Thresholds for reduction-related entanglement criteria in quantum information theory

We consider random bipartite quantum states obtained by tracing out one subsystem from a random, uniformly distributed, tripartite pure quantum state. We compute thresholds for the dimension of the system being traced out, so that the resulting bipartite quantum state satisfies the reduction criterion in different asymptotic regimes. We consider as well the basis-independent version of the reduction criterion (the absolute reduction criterion), computing thresholds for the corresponding eigenvalue sets. We do the same for other sets relevant in the study of absolute separability, using techniques from random matrix theory. Finally, we gather and compare the known values for the thresholds corresponding to different entanglement criteria, and conclude with a list of open questions.
