Connecting Theory and Practice in Initial Teacher Training in Italy. The University of Bari Experience of the Multimodal Laboratory.
No full textThis chapter presents the multimodal-pedagogical model and initial teacher training organization aimed at preparing primary school teachers at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro.” The work centers on how the components of curriculum are balanced and how theory meets practice in school and university classrooms. We specifically focus on the epistemic function of didactic-disciplinary laboratories as experiences promoting and advancing multimodal learning essential to teacher preparation
Salt Tolerance of Barak Cenana Rice (Oryza sativa L cv. Barak Cenana) EMS Derived M1 Putative Mutants
No full textBarak Cenana (Oryza sativa L cv. Barak Cenana) is a native red rice cultivar of Tabanan
regency, Bali. We have previously created first generation putative mutants (M1) lines
of Barak Cenana using EMS. In this study, we aim to evaluate M1 lines tolerance to
salt stress. Three-leaf seedlings of WT Barak Cenana and M1 lines were cultured in
hydroponic system containing Yoshida solution and 100 mM NaCl for 7 days. The salt
tolerance level of each seedling was evaluated using SES standard and the survived
seedlings were transferred into the pot-containing soil growth for maturation. All WT
were died when treated with 100 mM NaCl for 7 days. In contrast, some M1 lines were
survived where 0.5% were highly tolerance (II2A-4) and 4.06% (1F-4, 1F-3, II2A-8, IID-1,
IID-4, IID-6 and 1B-6) were tolerance to salt stress. This variation of salt tolerance level
among M1 lines is likely due to the random mutation caused by EMS. Furthermore,
all survived mutants were fertile and able to produce mature seeds. As characters in
M1 generation are not stable, future studies are required to establish stable mutant lines

Some Antipyretic Ethno-medicinal Plants of Manipuri Community of Barak Valley, Assam, India
No full textThis ethnobotanical survey was carried out to collect the information on the use of some antipyretic activity plants used by Manipuri community of Barak valley, Assam. A total of 26 nos. of antipyretic plant species belonging to 20 families and 23 genera have been recorded through structured questionnaires in consultations with the community practitioners. For curing fever the use of aboveground plant parts was higher (65.38%) than the underground plant parts (15.38%). Of the aboveground plant parts, leaf was used in the majority of cases (13 species), followed by whole plant part (5 species), fruit (1 species), bark (1 species), flower (2 species), root (2 species ), and rhizome (2 species ), were also found to be in use by the Manipuri community of Barak valley, Assam having antipyretic activity plants. The present paper implies the potential of the traditional knowledge for the mankind.Some of the interesting plants are Canna indica L., and Dactyloctenium aegyptium (L) P.Beauv
Barak Yöresi Uzun Havalarının Karakteristik Yapısını Oluşturan Yerel ve Müzikal Unsurların İncelenmesi
No full text<p><span>Barak havaları, tarihsel bakımdan değerlendirildiğinde Anadolu'nun en kadim müzikal ögelerini bünyesinde barındıran, geleneksel halk müziğine ait uzun havalardır. Barak havaları için “yüzlerce yıllık bir göçün hikayesi” demek, yerinde bir tabir olacaktır.<span> </span>Çünkü barak barak havalarının sözel içeriğe dayalı, kendine özgü bir yapısı vardır. Ve bu sözel içerik çok önemli bir boyutta binlerce yıllık göçer yaşantısının bir ürünüdür. Sözel içerik, barak havalarının müzikal yapısının belirlenmesinde en önemli unsur olmuştur. Bu sözel içeriğe bakıldığında, Göçebe Türkmen yaşantısının binlerce yıllık tarihinde yaşadığı acıların, göçlerin, kahramanlıkların, sevgilerin ve aşiret kavgalarının konu edildiği görülür. </span></p>
<p><span>Diğer yörelerin uzun hava tavırlarından farklı olarak, barak havalarının müzikal yapısına, yaşanmış hikayelerin ve yörenin aşiret kültürüne dair yaşam biçiminin direkt etki ettiğini görürüz. Bozlaklara, hoyratlara, mayalara ve diğer serbest karakterli halk müziği eserlerine baktığımızda, sözel içeriklerini barak Barak havalarında olduğu kadar kahramanlık ve savaşlar değil, daha çok yaşanılan acılar ve sevgi temalarının oluşturduğu görülür. Bu sebeple de bu uzun havaların icralarında, barak havalarında olduğu gibi çığırtkan ve savaşçı bir okuma üslubu, sert ve keskin hançereler görülmemektedir. Bu hançere biçimi ve okuma üslubu, barak havalarının kendine özgü bir tavır olarak ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise barak havalarının icra üslubuna ve melodik yapısına doğrudan etki etmiş olan yerel unsurları ve melodilerin yapısal özelliklerini incelemek suretiyle barak yöresi uzun havalarının bugünkü biçiminin daha sağlıklı değerlendirilip anlaşılmasına katkı sağlamaktır. </span></p>
Partition, Politics, and the Quest for Bengali Identity: A Case of Barak Valley in South Assam
No full textThis article is reproduced here with permission from the author and may be found online at http://www.mcrg.ac.in/rw%20files/RW61_62/RW61_62.pdf.Prior to independence, Barak Valley was a part of Surma Valley. When Sylhet and Cachar, two Bengali speaking districts of the Bengal Presidency, were separated and combined to form Assam in 1874, Surma Valley administrative division was created. Until Sylhet’s secession to East Pakistan in 1947 Cachar district remained a part of Surma Valley. After Sylhet, Cachar district became the lone Bengali stronghold in Assam. In late twentieth century, Barak Valley became the name of Cachar district which included remnants of erstwhile Sylhet. Historically, Barak Valley has gone through partition twice- once in 1874 when it was severed from Bengal and again in 1947 when Sylhet voted to secede. In post-independent Assam, Barak Valley turned into an alien land. Subsequent actions of the leadership have significantly impacted the socio-political life and strengthened the sense of isolation of Barak Valley. The present study is intended to comprehend how Barak Valley has struggled to preserve its identity despite going through a serious existential crisis
Gaziantep O?uzeli-Dokuzyol village reuse proposal; Example of Ezogelin Barak culture center
No full textDokuzyol village is a settlement 17 km away from Gaziantep Oǧuzeli district, within the Barak Plain boundaries. The old name of this village is Uruş; it is also known as Ezo Gelin's village because it is the birthplace of the legendary Ezo Gelin in folklore. There are traditional abode buildings in the village, but some have been abandoned, and village people have started to prefer reinforced concrete structures. Rural architecture is an embodiment of cultural heritage; therefore, preserving and transferring it to future generations is an essential cultural continuity element. The main reason for choosing this village is that there are examples of traditional abode architecture. To maintain the Barak Culture, an abode cultural center named Ezo Gelin was built in 2018. Cultural center seldom is used and haven't served its main purpose. The aim of this research is develop a renovation for Ezo Gelin Barak Culture Center, which was built with great investment but not used and to draw attention the abode building in the village. In this research adobe buildings of Dokuzyol village were documented with traditional method and function suggestions for the protection of buildings have been developed within scope of the Interior Architecture education survey course. It has been suggested that some of the unused abode buildings in the village to serve for the new function of Ezo Gelin Barak Culture Center. The proposal developed for Ezo Gelin Barak Cultural Center aims to contribute to rural tourism and cultural heritage. © 2022 Author(s)
Remaking imperial power in the city: The case of the William Barak building, Melbourne
No full textWhen the enormous drapes that had been covering a new building in central Melbourne were thrown off in early 2015, an extraordinary sight was revealed: a colossal image of a face staring down the city’s civic spine. This moment of unveiling marked a fascinating moment for Indigenous–settler relations in Australia, but especially urban, densely settled Melbourne. For the face is that of William Barak, ancestor and leader of the Wurundjeri people, whose country was stolen and remade into what we now know as Melbourne. That an early land rights champion is represented in the built form at such a pivotal location in the city that dispossessed his people offers an opportunity to consider the forms of violence, appropriation and misrepresentation that are perpetually constitutive of settler-colonial cities. Drawing together critical Indigenous scholarship, settler-colonial studies and geographies of memorialization, the paper analyses the building to demonstrate the contemporary workings of settler-colonial urbanization. The paper analyses the representational politics the building performs, the history of land sales since contact and the role of the site in a wider imperialist planning project to reveal the intimate nexus of land, property and recognition politics that work to continuously secure white possession of Indigenous lands.Full Tex
