No full textThe three volumes of this set are a facsimile reingraving of the 1659 Haseda Daigaku Toshokan copy of Aesop's fables. The imprint reads Ito San'emon, Manji 2. It is done in Oriental style on double leaves in a heavier paper casing bound by thread. I count some 30 double pages in this volume, including five illustrations. At least the first two seem to deal with the life of Aesop. The first has Aesop looking at people inside cages, upon which birds stand; this was his supposed bright idea for waging war, according to the life. The second has a lower panel in which Aesop seems to have been thrown down a cliff. The third again presents two scenes, I believe. Is the boar kicking the old bull in the face in the upper panel? And might the lower scene show the crow waiting for the eagle to drop the snail, so that he can eat it first? The fourth seems to show BF in its upper panel. In the lower, has the horse just kicked Dr. Wolf? The upper part of the fifth seems to be UP. Are those two men visiting the land of the monkeys in the lower portion? Is the first being rewarded for his flattering lies? There is a loose insert at the beginning of the volume, perhaps an advertisement.Language note: JapaneseOriginal language: grcVolodymyra Zabashtans and Anatolia Cherdakl

It is done in Oriental style on double leaves in a heavier paper casing bound by thread. I count some 31 double pages in this volume, including five illustrations. The upper panel of the first presents The Ant and the Fly. The lower panel seems to present a demon on horseback with a human walking alongside. The second may have the fox betraying the wolf in the upper panel, but the presence of both waves and a basket with the latter animal make me wonder. The lower panel here is AD. The upper panel of the third illustration has perhaps one animal (a wolf?) seizing the prey (a fox?) from another animal which is hard for me to identify. The lower panel has a cat outside a house and a mouse or rat inside. Might the upper portion of the fourth panel be the story of the wife visiting her drunken husband in his tomb? The lower portion seems to show a raging storm god causing wind and rain. The fifth illustration seems to have a bird on a tree branch relating to a man with a long pole. Below one human being may hold a rope over another human being on the ground. I look forward to working with the person who can clarify the association of these fascinating illustrations! There is a loose insert at the beginning of the volume, perhaps an advertisement.Language note: JapaneseOriginal language: grcVolodymyra Zabashtans and Anatolia Cherdakl
The effect of setting goals of different difficulty level on performance
No full textThe effectiveness of goal setting has been extensively studied in industrial psychology and has been widely applied in sports contexts. However, the optimal level of goal difficulty remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of different goal difficulty levels on performance using the standing broad jump as a task. Participants (N = 78) were divided into two groups: an easy-goal group and a difficult-goal group. Each group performed standing broad jumps with three goal levels set based on their baseline performance. In the easy-goal group, the target distances were set at 60%, 80%, and 100% of the baseline. In the difficult-goal group, the targets were set at 100%, 120%, and 140% of the baseline. The results revealed that in the easy-goal group, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified a significant main effect of goal difficulty on performance [F (2, 76) = 8.46, p < .01, ηp2 = .18]. Post-hoc multiple comparisons indicated that performance at the 80% (p < .01) and 60% (p < .01) targets was significantly lower than at the 100% target. Additionally, a one-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant decline in performance compared to baseline (t(38) = -2.60, p < .05). Conversely, in the difficultgoal group, no significant differences in performance were observed across the target levels (100%, 120%, and 140%), and performance remained consistent with the baseline. These findings suggest that setting goals below one’s capability may negatively impact performance. For shortterm goal setting, it is recommended to establish targets that exceed one’s current ability.departmental bulletin pape
An Investigation into the Development of the Spatial Concept of the In-Between Space in the Netherlands and Japan in the 20th Century
No full textIn-between spaces are the gradual transition spaces between two opposites; between inside and outside or public and private. This research will investigate the motives and implementation of the concept within Dutch and Japanese architecture, as it is widely used within architecture of these countries. Because the in-between space concept is perceived differently by architects, theories and works of two Dutch and two Japanese architects are investigated. The Dutch architects are Aldo van Eyck (1918-1999) and Herman Hertzberger (1932) and Japanese architects are Kisho Kurokawa (1934-2007) and Sou Fujimoto (1971). This research reveals that the in-between space concept emerged as a response to the modern movement in the Netherlands. Van Eyck and Hertzberger strived for more human centred architecture and therefore implemented in-between spaces in their buildings. Kurokawa and Fujimoto are both influenced by Japanese culture. The in-between space concept is traced back to the Buddhism origin of the country. Even though the motives of the architects of both countries are different, the implementation is similar. The Dutch architects emphasise the human relationship with each other slightly more, whereas the Japanese architects emphasise the relationship between humans and their environment more. The ambiguous character of an in-between space leaves room for interpretation, providing new perceptions and a different spatial experience. The in-between space is a space in it’s own right and therefore just as important as other spaces.AR2A011Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

Housing capsule. From metabolic ingenuity to parasite solutions
No full text[Esp] Este trabajo de investigación se centra en el análisis de una cuidadosa
e intencionada selección de edificios conformados a partir de la generación
de un módulo tridimensional, que denominaremos “
cápsula habitacional”
repetida en el espacio a través de múltiples estrategias de proyecto.
El análisis arquitectónico e histórico de la
“Nakagin Capsule Tower” de
Kisho Kurokawa (1972) y la descripción y estudio de las bases conceptuales
del movimiento metabolista, se usará de referente para abordar el
análisis comparativo de dicho ejemplo con otros más contemporáneos
en concreto el “
Home for the homeless” de James Furzer en Londres
(2015) y el “
Shelter with dignity” de Framlab en Nueva York (2018).
En el análisis se recurrirá a la metodología de la comparación
para una vez obtenidas conclusiones, y siempre remitiéndose al
concepto de cápsula – y a la filosofía metabolista y su evolución en
el tiempo hacia mínimos en una arquitectura parasitaria- proponer
soluciones a un problema como es el alojamiento de emergencia
en entornos urbanos. En concreto en la ciudad de Cartagena.
De esta manera el trabajo recorrerá tres estadios. En un primer
lugar, se analiza esta arquitectura doméstica de mínima escala, utilizando la
herramienta del redibujado propio tanto del referente histórico de la “
Nakagin
Capsule Tower” de Kurokawa (1972) como de los ejemplos seleccionados
para comparar, del que se han obtenido planos directamente del autor.
En segundo lugar, centraremos la atención en el ejemplo primigenio
de la cápsula habitacional, generadora del edificio a través de diferentes
estrategias de proyecto basadas en la repetición espacial. Se compararán
cuestiones como la superficie, la organización espacial o la proporcionalidad
entre espacios. A continuación, se compararán las distintas configuraciones
globales de los edificios localizando los diferentes mecanismos de agrupación,
su autonomía o la configuración espacial de los espacios comunes.
Por último, y procurando ser propositiva se apuntará a la
reinterpretación de estos referentes con el objetivo de mitigar en la
ciudad de Cartagena el problema urgente y de absoluta actualidad de
diseñar soluciones de “
shelter” o refugio de mínimos aprovechando
infraestructuras urbanas como las medianeras de la ciudad. [eng] This research work focuses on the analysis of a careful and
intentional selection of buildings formed from the generation of a three-
dimensional module, which we will call “
housing capsule” repeated in space
through multiple project strategies.
The architectural and historical analysis of the
“Nakagin Capsule
Tower” by Kisho Kurokawa (1972) and the description and study of the
conceptual bases of the metabolist movement, will be used as a reference
to address the comparative analysis of said example with other more
contemporary ones, specifically the James Furzer’s “
Home for the homeless”
in London (2015) and Framlab’s “
Shelter with dignity” in New York (2018).
In the analysis, the methodology of comparison will be used to, once
conclusions have been obtained, and always referring to the concept of
the capsule - and to the metabolist philosophy and its evolution over time
towards minimums in a parasitic architecture - to propose solutions to a
problem such as the emergency shelter in urban settings. Specifically in
the city of Cartagena.
In this way the work will go through three stages. In the first place,
this minimal-scale domestic architecture is analyzed, using the redrawing
tool of both the historical reference of Kurokawa’s “
Nakagin Capsule
Tower” (1972) and the examples selected for comparison, from which plans
have been obtained. directly from the author.
Secondly, we will focus on the original example of the housing
capsule, which generated the building through different project strategies
based on spatial repetition. Issues such as surface, spatial organization or
proportionality between spaces will be compared. Next, the different global
configurations of the buildings will be compared, locating the different
grouping mechanisms, their autonomy or the spatial configuration of the
common spaces.
Lastly, and trying to be proactive, the reinterpretation of these
references will be pointed out with the aim of mitigating in the city
of Cartagena the urgent and absolutely topical problem of designing
“shelter” solutions or refuge for the minimum, taking advantage of urban
infrastructures such as the party walls of the city.Escuela de Arquitectura e Ingeniería de EdificaciónUniversidad Politécnica de Cartagen
