SWOT analysis to evaluate the integration of online education with a participatory approach in the field of art
No full textProblem definition: The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis is one of the strategic planning approaches used to evaluate the status of a plan or strategy. The strengths describe which aspects of a topic or part of an organization are superior and what distinguishes it apart from the competitors. The weaknesses stop the effectiveness of a strategy at its desired level. Moreover, the opportunities indicate the desirable external factors which can provide the target strategy with a competitive advantage, while threats point out to the factors that are likely to harm the organization or its strategies. It should be noted that this method, in addition to the strategic planning, is generally employed in the situation analysis. In fact, this analysis is considered as an effective tool for identifying the environmental conditions and internal capabilities of a system. Objective: The present research is based on the collected experiences of online education in the field of art, especially with practical content, which has been proposed and employed as an effective strategy in the field of education along with in-person training on the basis of the coronavirus pandemic conditions and its limitations. Research method: The current study has been conducted by collecting a questionnaire and analyzing the data in an indirect manner with the aim of avoiding the inclusion of tastes in the research findings. The SWOT analysis las been also performed using a quadruple standard worksheet. Resulte: The research has been mainly focused on the use of creative methods by the teacher to induce the spirit of active participation and collaboration in order to enhance the learning experience of the students. It is known that the practical skills training is not possible except through the synergistic interactions resulting from active participation. The results illustrate the importance of evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the strategy in achieving the desired results for the novel techniques
Del mar Caspio al mar de Alboran; una visión general de las similitudes de personalidad entre Bahman Mohasses y Pablo Picasso
No full text[EN] Bahman Mohasses is one of the artists who emphasize his unique personal art, style and look in creating his works, both in the field of painting and sculpture. He transcends the superficial and dramatic manifestations of modern schools and at the same time the outward manifestations of the Iranian visual tradition, and finds remarkable success in inventing his personal identity. Critics, friends and followers consider his work to be influenced by the most famous Spanish artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso. Beyond technique and style, the influence of Picasso s personality on him and the spiritual similarities between the two are sometimes astonishing. What sets Mohasses apart from many Iranian artists, in addition to his unique technique among Iranian painters, was his dark and bitter look in his works. Although many of Mohasses early works are technically close to those of European painters of the 1920s and 1930s, their main origins are in Picasso s Cubist style. Perhaps for this reason, many Iranian painters and art critics consider Bahman Mohasses to be the most complete Iranian painter by European standards and even know him as the Iranian Picasso.Goodarzparvari, P.; Bueno Camejo, FC.; Molina Alarcón, M.

Explanation of the Concept of Theoretical Critique in Relation to the History and Philosophy of Art
No full textAmong the existing academic texts on plastic art criticism in Iran, and of course among the approaches that are practically applied in writing critique, theoretical criticism has been vastly overlooked. Awareness of the theoretical criticism attributes will help us to achieve a personal perception of artistic media. Such a realization, first of all, has hermeneutic dimensions; because in it, the work of art, as the occurrence of an experience, does not necessarily reveal all its features however the way of its interpretation determines the character of the collection to which the work belongs. This paper is intended to provide a definition of theoretical criticism and determine the relation between this domain and a range of plastic criticism definition, that the applied approach is its beginning and academic approach is the end.
Crisis occurrence of significance in modern art led to the emerging of theories such as formalism, abstraction, institutional theory of art and ... in order to provide a definition of art. Parallel with these theories, there was a development, revival or birth of the media. The contemporary situation led to a situation that can be considered as the end of artists' art and the beginning of their tendency to create a kind of philosophy through the creation of works of art. Attempting at theoretical critique can be very effective in realizing an
An overview on the Nietzsche’s evolution during the relation with Wagner
No full textV posledních desetiletích byl mnohými badateli opakovaně analyzován vztah Nietzscheho a Wagnera. V mnoha knihách a oborných článcích byly podrobně vysvětlovány filozofické, sociální, psychologické i umělecké aspekty tohoto vztahu. Tento článek se pokouší prozkoumat jeho skryté aspekty. Na jedné straně vycházíme z dokumentů, které zanechal Nietzsche, a na druhé straně z hodnocení provedených na postoji Wagnera. Hlavním cílem je rozlišit nejasné vlivy tohoto komplikovaného vztahu, s přihlédnutím k pozoruhodným dokumentům, které zanechal Nietzsche. Klíčová je časová následnost proměny jejich vztahu, kterou se ve studii pokoušíme zachytit.Nietzsche and Wagner's relationship has been repeatedly analyzed in recent decades. Several philosophical, social, psychological and artistic aspects of this relation have been explained in detail in articles and books. This article attempts to investigate the hidden parts of this relation, relying on the documents left behind by Nietzsche on the one hand and on the other hand the assessments performed on the attitude of Wagner. In the other words, the main objective here is to distinguish unclear influences of this complicated relationship, taking into account the notable documents and signs, left behind by Nietzsche. Their fundamental views from their thoughts border that is certainly the music to the realms of politics and sociology are concisely investigated. The similarities and differences are analyzed between their opinion, based on their philosophical requirements. The time journey has been supposed as the key parameter time during the relationship and it has been tried to study its evolutionary trend. The main aim is to demonstrate the variations in Nietzsche’s vision from Wagner along the time. Nietzsche and Wagner's drama has a three-act theater: the commitment, seduction and freedom
Preservation of Cultural Heritage via Education of Children, Utilizing Visual Communication: Persepolis as a Case Study
No full textPreservation of cultural heritage via education of children, utilizing visual communication: Persepolis as a case of study
No full textFocusing on the next generations as the owners of the heritage, development of the educational approach for children is an important issue which would assist the preservation of cultural affairs. Provision of the possibilities by which children can get familiar with their cultural treasures would support the cultural sustaining and maintaining approaches of the society while this chain would deliver the cultural values more effectively. Among several approaches, visual communication as the unique language which can be understood and utilized by every nation has been considered as an educational approach for children to promote their knowledge on the value of cultural heritage. Considering the fame and importance of Persepolis, it has been aimed as case study and different visual communicating procedures have been proposed for education of Persian student on this world heritage, while in some cases, the possibilities and limitations have been discussed

Global, regional, and national progress towards sustainable development goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health: all-cause and cause-specific mortality findings from the global burden of disease study 2019
No full textBackground: Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction of neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and reduction of death of children younger than 5 years to less than 25 per 1000 livebirths, for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, and potential trajectories of child mortality for the next decade, we present the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 findings for all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality in children younger than 5 years of age, with multiple scenarios for child mortality in 2030 that include the consideration of potential effects of COVID-19, and a novel framework for quantifying optimal child survival. Methods: We completed all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality analyses from 204 countries and territories for detailed age groups separately, with aggregated mortality probabilities per 1000 livebirths computed for neonatal mortality rate (NMR) and under-5 mortality rate (U5MR). Scenarios for 2030 represent different potential trajectories, notably including potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of improvements preferentially targeting neonatal survival. Optimal child survival metrics were developed by age, sex, and cause of death across all GBD location-years. The first metric is a global optimum and is based on the lowest observed mortality, and the second is a survival potential frontier that is based on stochastic frontier analysis of observed mortality and Healthcare Access and Quality Index. Findings: Global U5MR decreased from 71·2 deaths per 1000 livebirths (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 68·3–74·0) in 2000 to 37·1 (33·2–41·7) in 2019 while global NMR correspondingly declined more slowly from 28·0 deaths per 1000 live births (26·8–29·5) in 2000 to 17·9 (16·3–19·8) in 2019. In 2019, 136 (67%) of 204 countries had a U5MR at or below the SDG 3.2 threshold and 133 (65%) had an NMR at or below the SDG 3.2 threshold, and the reference scenario suggests that by 2030, 154 (75%) of all countries could meet the U5MR targets, and 139 (68%) could meet the NMR targets. Deaths of children younger than 5 years totalled 9·65 million (95% UI 9·05–10·30) in 2000 and 5·05 million (4·27–6·02) in 2019, with the neonatal fraction of these deaths increasing from 39% (3·76 million [95% UI 3·53–4·02]) in 2000 to 48% (2·42 million; 2·06–2·86) in 2019. NMR and U5MR were generally higher in males than in females, although there was no statistically significant difference at the global level. Neonatal disorders remained the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years in 2019, followed by lower respiratory infections, diarrhoeal diseases, congenital birth defects, and malaria. The global optimum analysis suggests NMR could be reduced to as low as 0·80 (95% UI 0·71–0·86) deaths per 1000 livebirths and U5MR to 1·44 (95% UI 1·27–1·58) deaths per 1000 livebirths, and in 2019, there were as many as 1·87 million (95% UI 1·35–2·58; 37% [95% UI 32–43]) of 5·05 million more deaths of children younger than 5 years than the survival potential frontier. Interpretation: Global child mortality declined by almost half between 2000 and 2019, but progress remains slower in neonates and 65 (32%) of 204 countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, are not on track to meet either SDG 3.2 target by 2030. Focused improvements in perinatal and newborn care, continued and expanded delivery of essential interventions such as vaccination and infection prevention, an enhanced focus on equity, continued focus on poverty reduction and education, and investment in strengthening health systems across the development spectrum have the potential to substantially improve U5MR. Given the widespread effects of COVID-19, considerable effort will be required to maintain and accelerate progress. Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. © 2021 The Author(s).

Burden of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in adults in the Americas, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
No full textBackground High prevalence of diabetes has been reported in the Americas, but no comprehensive analysis of diabetes burden and related factors for the region is available. We aimed to describe the burden of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and that of hyperglycaemia in the Americas from 1990 to 2019. Methods We used estimates from GBD 2019 to evaluate the burden of diabetes in adults aged 20 years or older and high fasting plasma glucose in adults aged 25 years or older in the 39 countries and territories of the six regions in the Americas from 1990 to 2019. The main source to estimate the mortality attributable to diabetes and to chronic kidney disease due to diabetes was vital registration. Mortality due to overall diabetes (ie, diabetes and diabetes due to chronic kidney disease) was estimated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model. Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated as the number of deaths multiplied by standard life expectancy at the age that the death occurred, years lived with disability (YLDs) were estimated based on the prevalence and severity of complications of diabetes. Disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) were estimated as a sum of YLDs and YLLs. We assessed the association of diabetes burden with the level of development of a country (according to the Socio-demographic Index), health-care access and quality (estimated with the Healthcare Access and Quality Index), and diabetes prevalence. We also calculated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of diabetes burden due to each of its risk factors. We report the 95% uncertainty intervals for all estimates. Findings In 2019, an estimated total of 409-000 (95% uncertainty interval 373-000443-000) adults aged 20 years or older in the Americas died from diabetes, which represented 5.9% of all deaths. Diabetes was responsible for 2266 (19302649) crude DALYs per 100-000 adults in the Americas, and high fasting plasma glucose for 4401 DALYs (36855265) per 100-000 adults, with large variation across regions. DALYs were mostly due to type 2 diabetes and distribution was heterogeneous, being highest in central Latin America and the Caribbean and lowest in high-income North America and southern Latin America. Between 1990 and 2019, age-standardised DALYs due to type 2 diabetes increased 27.4% (22.032.5). This increase was particularly high in Andean Latin America and high-income North America. Burden for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes across countries increased with higher diabetes prevalence and decreased with greater Socio-demographic and Healthcare Access and Quality Indices. Main risk factors for the burden were high BMI, with a PAF of 63.2% and dietary risks, with a PAF of 27.5%. The fraction of burden due to disability has increased since 1990 and now represents nearly half of the overall burden in 2019. Interpretation The burden of diabetes in the Americas is large, increasing, heterogeneous, and expanding. To confront the rising burden, population-based interventions aimed to reduce type 2 diabetes risk and strengthening health systems to provide effective and cost-efficient care for those affected are mandatory.

The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010–19: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
No full text© 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY 4.0 licenseBackground: Understanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally. Methods: The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate cancer burden attributable to behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risk factors. A total of 82 risk–outcome pairs were included on the basis of the World Cancer Research Fund criteria. Estimated cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 2019 and change in these measures between 2010 and 2019 are presented. Findings: Globally, in 2019, the risk factors included in this analysis accounted for 4·45 million (95% uncertainty interval 4·01–4·94) deaths and 105 million (95·0–116) DALYs for both sexes combined, representing 44·4% (41·3–48·4) of all cancer deaths and 42·0% (39·1–45·6) of all DALYs. There were 2·88 million (2·60–3·18) risk-attributable cancer deaths in males (50·6% [47·8–54·1] of all male cancer deaths) and 1·58 million (1·36–1·84) risk-attributable cancer deaths in females (36·3% [32·5–41·3] of all female cancer deaths). The leading risk factors at the most detailed level globally for risk-attributable cancer deaths and DALYs in 2019 for both sexes combined were smoking, followed by alcohol use and high BMI. Risk-attributable cancer burden varied by world region and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), with smoking, unsafe sex, and alcohol use being the three leading risk factors for risk-attributable cancer DALYs in low SDI locations in 2019, whereas DALYs in high SDI locations mirrored the top three global risk factor rankings. From 2010 to 2019, global risk-attributable cancer deaths increased by 20·4% (12·6–28·4) and DALYs by 16·8% (8·8–25·0), with the greatest percentage increase in metabolic risks (34·7% [27·9–42·8] and 33·3% [25·8–42·0]). Interpretation: The leading risk factors contributing to global cancer burden in 2019 were behavioural, whereas metabolic risk factors saw the largest increases between 2010 and 2019. Reducing exposure to these modifiable risk factors would decrease cancer mortality and DALY rates worldwide, and policies should be tailored appropriately to local cancer risk factor burden.
