Прослідковуються урбанізаційні та дезурбанізаційні процеси в моді ХХ ст. Звернено увагу на недостатню вивченість питань естетичних та культурологічних аспектів формування моди як видовища в контексті образного простору культури повсякдення. Визначено видовищні виміри модної діяльності як комунікативної сцени. Наголошено на необхідності актуалізації народних мотивів свята, творчості в гурті, певної стилізації у митців та дизайнерів моди мистецтва ностальгійного, втраченого світу з метою осягнення фольклорної, глибинної стихії моди як екомунікативного простору культури повсякдення. Ключові слова: міф, мода, етнокультура, етнос, свято, площа Ключові слова: міф, мода, етнокультура, етнос, свято, площа. According to E. Moren ethnic cultural influences take place in urbanized environment and turn it into "island ontology".Everyday life ethnic culture is differentiated, specified as a certain type of spectacle. However, all that powerful cosmologism, which used to exist as an open-air theater in settlements, near rivers, grasslands, roads, is disappearing. The everyday life culture loses imperatives, patterns, and cosmological designs, where, for example, the “plahta” contains rhombuses, squares, and rectangles - images of the earth, and the top of the costume symbolizes the sky. Yes, the symbolic marriage of earth and sky was a prerequisite for marrying young people. The article deals with traces of the urbanization and deurbanization processes in the twentieth century fashion.Key words: ethnic culture, culture of everyday life, ethnics, holidays, variety show, knockabout comedy, square.

Educational Computer Game

<p>Geophysics is the application of the laws and techniques of physics to disclose knowledge about the Earth’s dynamic processes and subsurface structure. It explores phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis to improve our understanding of the Earth’s physical processes. Effective mitigation of risks from catastrophic geophysics hazards requires knowledge and understanding of natural processes. Scientific divulgation deals with the communication of knowledge previously produced in scientific contexts to a non-expert massive audience.  One of the difficulties science divulgators need to overcome is to explain specific concepts, even complex, from a given discipline in a language simple and understandable, maintaining scientific correctness, and enhance skills, knowledge and competences of their interlocutors.</p><p>Considering that, nowadays, digital technologies play a large role in young people’s lives and games are directly connected to the life of adolescents, we realized an educational videogame to teach geophysics and Earth sciences to low and high-school students; an educational computer game, serious game, where electronic medium with all the characteristic of a gaming environment convey formative outcomes. The starting point is that technologies are systems of open possibilities that can be effectively integrated with innovative methods of education necessary to promote more effective, efficient, attractive and durable learning. In fact, the ardour and enthusiasm that digital games evoke in teenagers has brought many researchers, school leaders and teachers to the question “how video games” can be used to engage young people and support their learning.</p><p>A first stage of the project of Virtual Reality, "Journey inside the volcano", were presented at several scientific divulgative events, such as the ESA Living Planet Symposium, The National Geographic Festival delle Scienze, the September 29th INGV Open Day, involving more that a thousand users and receiving appreciation from the public. We present the serious game and the relate appreciation analysis based on guestbook comments compiled at the end of the experience. The comments reveal a great level of appreciation, involvements and emotions, and margins of improvement. The results foster us to improve the project developing other geophysical topics.</p>

Bouchard, David. (2012). Beneath Raven Moon. North Vancouver, BC: More Than Words Publishers. Print and CD. Trickster Raven is at it again in Beneath Raven Moon, a creation myth taken from the tradition of the Kwakwaka’wakw people of British Columbia. Metis author David Bouchard weaves together the enchanting tale of how keen-eyed Eagle and whimsical Raven conspire to create a love match between two young people with the story of how the Earth was given Grandmother Moon. Each page is beautifully illustrated with West Coast First Nation’s designs in the dark golds, silvers, blues and oranges of nighttime. Bouchard sets a quiet, ethereal tone for the text through carefully-paced repetition and descriptions of night time scenes. The use of playful dialogue, traditional terms such as Grandmother Moon or Grandfather Cedar and Bouchard’s placement of Trickster as a force in many aboriginal cultures enhances the timeless feeling of the text. Beneath Raven Moon derives its authenticity from its Metis author and K’omoks First Nations illustrator. Source notes are background information that places this myth in the tradition of the Kwakwaka’wakw people from BC’s Inside Passage. Each page contains both English and Kwakwala text, with the Kwakwala translation attributed to Pauline and Pewi Alfred. In keeping with First Nations' oral traditions, a CD of the story read aloud in English, Kwakwala and French is included with the book. The CD also features the haunting First Nations flute music of Mary Youngblood. Students aged eight to twelve will enjoy the visual and auditory experience of Beneath Raven Moon. Recommended: 3 out of 4 stars Reviewer: Kristie Oxley Kristie Oxley is an elementary Montessori teacher at Richard McBride Elementary School in New Westminster, BC.

Buying and wearing second-hand clothes are still considered taboo and embarrassing by many people in Indonesia. However, a new phenomenon has emerged, namely the thrifting trend among young people during this pandemic. Thrifting means an activity of hunting used clothes. This study aims to 1) explain the cultural changes among young people related to thrifting; 2) knowing the motivation of thrifting among young people; 3) find a relationship between thrifting and the environment. The author uses cultural theory and qualitative descriptive methods, namely utilizing data obtained through literature study. The results of this study indicate a cultural change related to fashion among young people, which is shown through thrifting activities. Thrifting motivation is driven by the desire to be thrifty, look unique, and different, and care for the environment. Thrifting among young people is not just a dress activity but also a desire to take part in saving the earth and reducing waste.

The article deals with the essence and meaning of Oralkhan Bokei’s stories and narratives. The ways of creating images of heroes in the Oralkhan Bokei’s stories and narratives are analyzed. The writer poses an issue going through time and remaining relevant. O. Bokei, through a contemporary hero, presents the problems of contradictory person who is eager to know the meaning of life. O. Bokei was able to show a deep and dramatic processes of destruction of harmony in the relationships, leaving of man from the earth. The characters of such heroes as Aka, Alma, and Kumyray are depicted in tense moments of crisis: choice, self-knowledge, memories, and frustration. The search for answers to eternal questions about the meaning of life and the continuity of generations requires the writer to analyze the feelings and innermost spiritual experiences of a contemporary. In the spiritual and moral quest, each of the characters shows their own nature. The modern Bokei’s hero reflects the situation of moral and cultural vacuum: traditional values developed by the millennial way of life were devalued in the eyes of young people. This is the reason for the tragedy of a whole generation of our contemporaries, masterfully reflected in the Oralkhan Bokei’s wok.

<p>This work is aimed at young people at the age of 14 to 15 years old.</p><p>The work is based on the study of the Periodic Table. Students show a great interest in learning about the history of the periodic table, as well as the details of each chemical element individually. They want to know how it was discovered, the scientist who did it, in which rock we can find it, where we use it, its properties, and much more.</p><p>Combining the two sciences, Geology and Chemistry, we make a blank Periodic Table with dimensions of 2m to 1,5m. We also make cards with the elements.</p><p>The aims are:</p><ul><li>- To help students study the periodic table through various table games and learn not only the names of chemical elements but their inseparable relationship with the Earth and man.</li> <li>- To make it clear that everything we need and use has its origins in the Earth.</li> <li>- To emphasize the origins of the chemical elements in the minerals and the rocks.</li> </ul><p>For every element there are several cards. An example is Al (Aluminum). For Al, there is a card with the chemical symbol of Al, a card with the picture of Bauxite (the rock from which we get aluminum), a card with the materials made of Al, a card with a small quiz about some of its chemical or physical properties, etc. Τhe cards have colors depending on the group that the chemical elements belong to. There are also cards with the history behind a chemical element.</p><p>Students are divided into groups, in which they then pick up different cards and try to place the chemical elements in the correct box in the periodic table.</p><p>Another game they like to play is to pick a card with the element’s symbol on and try to guess the name of the element and to associate it with the suitable mineral or rock card.</p><p>In addition, the students are given atoms and bonds simulations, as well as the chemical type of a mineral and a picture or a real part of a rock, in which we find the mineral. Their goal is to construct the mineral using the simulations and the written directions. Ιn this way, they also recognize the rocks in which the chemical elements are found.</p><p>The most interesting in the above process is that students prepare the cards themselves. Thus, they are also actively involved in the process of creating their own periodic table.</p><p>In 2019, the scientific world celebrated the 150th anniversary since the creation of the periodic table. Our students, after playing such games as the above, decided to celebrate the International Year of P.T. by painting their own periodic table on canvas.</p><p>Their work is now hanging in a central school area.</p>

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o curso de Pedagogia da Terra que foi ofertado pela Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás nos anos de 2007 a 2011, entendendo ser este curso uma ação de fortalecimento dos pressupostos defendidos pelos movimentos sociais do campo em relação à garantia de direitos dos jovens do campo. A abordagem visa reiterar que a educação urbana não atende às especificidades e espacialidades educativas dos sujeitos do campo. Para tanto, se faz necessário uma prática pedagógica específica e contextualizada, visando assim fornecer condições de emancipação dos jovens campesinos. Conclui-se que ao longo dos anos houve avanços significativos no modelo de educação do campo, sendo que iniciativas como a do curso de Pedagogia da Terra (FE/UFG) vêm a fortalecer as práticas educativas e a cultura campesina, especialmente na região do centro-oeste brasileiro. Contudo, considera-se como necessário investigar os impactos sociais de tais ações pedagógicas dos concluintes do curso nos percursos formativos dos jovens que habitam o campo.Palavras-chave: Jovens; Pedagogia da Terra; Movimentos Sociais do Campo. ABSTRACT: This article aims to analyze the Pedagogy of the Earth course that was offered by the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás in the years 2007 to 2011, understanding that this course is an action to strengthen the assumptions defended by the social movements of the field in relation guarantee the rights of young people in the countryside. The approach aims to reiterate that urban education does not meet the specificities and educational spatiality of rural subjects. In order to do so, a specific pedagogical practice is necessary and contextualized, aiming to provide conditions for the emancipation of young peasants. It is concluded that over the years there have been significant advances in the field education model, and initiatives such as the Pedagogy of the Earth (FE / UFG) course have strengthened educational practices and peasant culture, especially in the Brazilian midwest. However, it is considered as necessary to investigate the social impacts of such pedagogical actions of the graduates of the course on the formative courses of the young people who live in the field.Keywords: Young; Pedagogy of the Earth; Social movements of the countryside.

Point Of Departure

In recent years we have seen increasing youth activism on climate and other sustainability issues. This paper presents a theoretical framework for further research on young sustainability activists as public educators. The point of departure is taken in Latour’s argumentation concerning the need to create new attachments to the Earth. In line with this, we highlight the importance of aesthetics and experiences conceived as integrated sense-perceptional, emotional and intellectual faculties. The second part of the paper moves into social movement theory, to explore what role the Youth for Sustainability movement may have in creating new attachments to the Earth. Drawing on Melucci, emphasis is put on the movement’s collective identity making. Furthermore, following Rancière, the ability to interrupt the distribution of the senses is stressed. Examples of youth activism for sustainability are presented and interpreted, which points to the potential of children and young people to act successfully. The last part of the paper moves into pedagogical theories to explore how this kind of youth activism fostering new attachments to the Earth can be conceived as public pedagogy. We thereby refer to Biesta’s distinction between pedagogy for the public, pedagogy of the public and pedagogy for publicness.

The Mean

The motion of an artificial satellite around the Moon is much more complicated than that around the Earth, since the shape of the Moon is a triaxial ellipsoid and the effect of the Earth on the motion is very important even for a very close satellite.The differential equations of motion of the satellite are written in canonical form of three degrees of freedom with time depending Hamiltonian. By eliminating short-periodic terms depending on the mean longitude of the satellite and by assuming that the Earth is moving on the lunar equator, however, the equations are reduced to those of two degrees of freedom with an energy integral.Since the mean motion of the Earth around the Moon is more rapid than the secular motion of the argument of pericentre of the satellite by a factor of one order, the terms depending on the longitude of the Earth can be eliminated, and the degree of freedom is reduced to one.Then the motion can be discussed by drawing equi-energy curves in two-dimensional space. According to these figures satellites with high inclination have large possibilities of falling down to the lunar surface even if the initial eccentricities are very small.The principal properties of the motion are not changed even if plausible values ofJ3andJ4of the Moon are included.This paper has been published in Publ. astr. Soc.Japan15, 301, 1963.
