Practical Application of Aspiration as an Outcome Indicator in Extension Evaluation
Authors: Jayaratne KSU
Published: August 2023

Extension educators need simple and accurate evaluation tools for program evaluation. This article explains how to use aspiration as an outcome indicator in Extension evaluation and introduces a practical evaluation tool. Aspiration can be described as the readiness for change. By recording participants' levels of aspiration, we will be able to determine whether the program is effective in achieving desired results. This aspiration-recording tool is easy to use in terms of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Evaluation data collected from this tool can be used to document accountability and make decisions for program modifications.
Effectiveness of on-site sketching and ArcGIS mapping in producing riparian and wetland restoration plans
Authors: Hodgson Ryan , Marapara Tapuwa
Published: August 2023

This research explores how to produce effective riparian and wetland restoration plans. It considers design and visual communication in seeking to produce plans that are environmentally effective and easy to understand. Through an in depth understanding of the literature and current best practice, a potential design strategy was unveiled. This led to the discovery of how design initiatives should move beyond uniform riparian buffer zones to also consider critical source areas, concentrated flow paths and convergence zones. These ideas were explored through the production of riparian and wetland restoration plans for farmers at three different sites in Southland. Two distinct methodologies were used to produce riparian and wetland restoration plans: on-site sketching in collaboration with farmers to produce plans in Adobe Illustrator, and the use of ESRI ArcGIS employing a range of geographic factors that can help target key areas for riparian and wetland restoration. Strengths and weaknesses of each approach were established during the production of these plans. These were further verified in the form of ground truthing and interviews with the farmers. Each method had positives and negatives, from software cost and data resolution to the level of detail in each plan. It is recommended that a more integrated approach using the strengths of each method to inform each other is the optimum way forward to producing more effective riparian and wetland restoration plans.
An exploratory study on underutilisation of women in the New Zealand labour market during the COVID-19 lockdown
Authors: Wanniarachchi Kunchana , Kularatne Indrapriya
Published: August 2023

The global impact of COVID-19 is still being assessed, and its influence on gender equality is not fully understood. The workforce impacts of the global crisis have been greater on women than on men. This study investigates whether women were underutilised more than men in the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. An in-depth literature search was conducted on underutilisation of women, focusing specifically on topics such as gender inconsistencies and increasing levels of female poverty during the pandemic. The study is based on a quantitative approach using data published by various New Zealand government institutions, and shows that working women in New Zealand were underutilised during the pandemic compared with working men. This investigation revealed that gender inequality in the labour market was increased after COVID-19. The findings of this research may be helpful in developing policies in the areas of temporary unemployment benefits, subsidies for unexpected childcare needs and further support on highly impacted industries during the pandemic specifically focusing on the New Zealand female labour force.

Temporal variation of iodine in Danish groundwater
Authors: Voutchkova Denitza D.
Published: August 2023

Iodine is an essential element for human health, and both high and low iodine intake could have negative health outcomes. The spatial variation of iodine in Danish groundwater has been studied before, but to the author’s knowledge, this is the first time that the temporal variation is characterised. Nationwide data from the Danish groundwater monitoring programme (GRUMO) were analysed between 2011 and 2021, including 2924 samples from 1242 well screens at 893 wells. The sampling frequency varied and so the robust coefficient of variation (rCV) was calculated for 930 (75%) of well screens, and time-series analysis was performed for 23 (2%). Key findings are (1) iodine in Danish groundwater varies over time (0–124%, median = 10%), (2) in one quarter of the well screens rCV exceeds 20% and (3) this variation cannot be attributed solely to analytical uncertainty at 14% of the well screens. The impact of temporal variation of iodine in Danish drinking water of groundwater origin should be evaluated in future exposure or epidemiological studies with respect to the study goal, location and time period. Since the temporal variation could not be quantified over the entire concentration range, monitoring of iodine in Danish groundwater should continue.

Perbaikan Kualitas Akustik di Masjid Bahrul Ulum P4TK BMTI Kota Cimahi Dengan Metode Pengaturan Ulang Posisi, Ketinggian Dan Jenis Speaker
Authors: Supriyadi Tata
Published: August 2023

Masjid Bahrul Ulum merupakan Masjid yang terletak di belakang kantor Balai Besar Pengembangan dan Penjaminan Mutu Pendidikan Vokasi Bidang Mesin dan Teknologi (BBPP MPV BMTI). Secara fisik masjid sudah melakukan renovasi terutama di bagian interior. Pemasangan plafon dari bahan PVC yang telihat rapi dan indah mempunyai karakteristik akustik yang kurang baik karena dapat memantulkan suara yang dapat mengakibatkan gema yang cukup kuat. Di tambah lagi dengan posisi penempatan speaker yang diletakan di keempat sudut ruang masjid yang dinilai kurang tepat karena dapat memperparah suara pantul yang mengakibatkan kejelasan suara (Clarity) berkurang dan tingkat kekerasan suara (SPL-Sound Pressure Level) di tiap area masjid tidak merata. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan akustik di dalam masjid sudah dilakukan penataan ulang penempatan posisi, ketinggian, arah dan jenis speaker yang tepat supaya bisa menghasilkan kualitas akustik yang lebih baik.

Metode yang digunakan untuk memperbaiki kondisi akustik tersebut yaitu dengan mengatur ulang posisi, ketinggian, arah dan jenis loudspeaker yang digunakan. Dari hasil pengujian diperoleh SPL yang merata di kisaran 75-80 dB dan ada peningkatan Clarity sebesar 8% setelah penataan ulang speaker.

 

Kata Kunci: akustik, posisi & arah speaker, persepsi subjektif, SPL, Clarity.

Published: August 2023

Este recurso es un video didáctico sobre clases prácticas de laboratorio en la asignatura de Análisis de Alimentos. Se determina el fósforo en queso, mediante espectrofotometría como técnica analítica cuantitativa.

En esta práctica, se llevará a cabo la determinación del contenido en fosforo de una muestra de queso mediante digestión en medio ácido y con agua oxigenada, para la posterior determinación espectrofotométrica del fosfato producido, mediante el método del azul de molibdeno. Por contenido de fósforo en quesos y quesos fundidos se entiende el valor, expresado en porcentaje en peso, que se obtiene aplicando el método que se describe a continuación, que es el de la IDF 042:2006 ISO 9874 de la Federación Internacional de Lechería.

Se mineraliza una cantidad pesada de muestra con ayuda de ácido sulfúrico concentrado en presencia de peróxido de hidrógeno. El fosfato se trata con molibdato de sodio y sulfato de hidracina como agente reductor. El azul de molibdeno así formado se mide por fotometría y se calcula, a partir de aquí, el contenido de fósforo. La precisión del método es de 0,04 g de fósforo por 100 de producto.

El método se basa en la reacción del ion fosfato con molibdato, que da lugar a fosfomolibdato. Este último, por reducción, origina un compuesto cuya estructura exacta se desconoce, denominado “azul de molibdeno”. Como reductores se pueden utilizar muchos compuestos, de los cuales el sulfato de hidracina, el cloruro de estaño(II), el ácido 1,2,4-aminonaftosulfónico y el ácido ascórbico son los más empleados. Al tratarse de un método “empírico”, es muy importante que la recta de calibrado y las muestras se analicen exactamente en las mismas condiciones. El color azul permanece estable durante aproximadamente una hora.

Mejora en la compresión y realización de los casos prácticos de laboratorio. Destrezas en el empleo de técnicas analíticas cuantitativas como son las valoraciones. Conocimientos básicos sobre la calidad de los alimentos.
Actions to Reset Studio Culture: A Case Study
Authors:   University of New Mexico, Quraishi Alaa Zuhra , Lopez Cesar Adrian ,   University of New Mexico
Published: August 2023

Decolonization isn’t only reclaiming aggressively settled territories, it is also reclaiming the traditions and processes inherited from the logic of colonization. In architectural education, agency is evaluated through form, aesthetics, and systems. However, could a new pedagogical approach that measures architecture through the representation of its constituents lead to social values in the discipline? Could this shift in studio education create an environment that incorporates student diversity rather than neutralizing it? In the Fall of 2020, the instructors and students of a third-year architectural design studio at the University of New Mexico leveraged the drastic change in platforms of learn¬ing to challenge and reset traditional pedagogical models in these spaces.
Becoming Credible: Developing Pedagogies for Inclusive Design Futures
Authors:   University Virginia, Cleckley Elgin
Published: August 2023

2020’s racial reckoning produced student, faculty, staff, and alumni calls for action to many North American schools of architecture and design. For example, Notes on Credibility, by the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s African American Student Union and AfricaGSD, demands that the GSD must “institutionalize anti-racism and acknowledge that pedagogy has a cultural obligation.[1] Many calls echo Notes, prompting a rethinking of architectural pedagogy from longheld Beaux-Arts models and late image-making practices. As we collectively advance, studio instruction requires new pedagogical and inclusive modes incorporating identity, culture, history, memory, and place. Empathic instruction, through a strategically designed collegial environment, allows for personal and instructional creativity resulting in personal discovery. To rise to the Calls, and this time, pedagogies must include a full human experiential perspective, whereby students develop a skill toolkit based on ethics and aesthetics to support design activism.
Imagining and Re-imagining Place: Cultivating Spatial Imagination in Architectural Education
Authors:   Delft University of Technology, Sioli Angeliki , Havik Klaske ,   Delft University of Technology, Floet Willemijn WIlms ,   Delft University of Technology
Published: August 2023

For pressing and complex spatial or social urban agendas, understanding and interpreting place has always been an important issue. In-depth and close explorative reading of a site—in which drawing, modeling and writing (the basic tools of architecture) become instruments to open up new perspectives—is vital for imagining site-specific architectural possibilities. We thus see creative imagination, related to and emerging from place, as a crucial source of innovation. As educators, therefore, we need to examine how to guide students explore their imaginative faculties. Our pedagogi-cal approach is founded upon the philosophical thought of phenomenology, theory on place, findings from neurosci-ence, and examination of architectural precedents. Based on these underpinnings we developed a course that focused on enhancing students’ spatial imagination and challenged them to think how the tools of architectural analysis and design can offer new imaginative ways to approach the local, social and historical aspects of a place. The paper illustrates how this framework is brought into architectural education by engaging the example of “Methods of Analysis and Imagination,” a master level elective course we taught in 2019. It presents the course’s overarching structure, as it unfolded over three intensive workshops on drawing, modeling and writing respectively. Investigating a selected site—through readings, conversations, exercises, hands-on and in situ assignments—the three workshops explored the way imagination can help us look at a place, and discover new and unique spatial or architectural relationships lurking in the banal and the ordinary. Through selected students’ work the paper concludes situating the course in an educational context that cares to expand spatial and architectural imagination, trusting imagination to be the productive and valuable answer to the many critical contemporary conditions we face as architects.
Lessons from Close Reading
Authors:   University of Illinois at Chicago, Geraki Palmyra
Published: August 2023

By drawing an analogy between precedent analysis in architecture and close reading in literary studies, this paper advocates for the potentially radical pedagogical consequences of incorporating close reading into architectural education and practice. Precedent analysis is presented as a textual strategy in a predominantly visual field that affords architects the opportunity to parse the vast amount of knowledge and intricate decision‐making that comprises the architectural process. The enduring relevance and disciplinary importance of close reading in the field of literary studies is showcased as a useful precedent for the field of architecture, which has struggled to maintain a dialogue between long‐standing disciplinary debates on autonomy and the role of theory in architecture and contemporary narratives that see architecture as a socially embedded practice. While precedent analysis has obvious limitations as a vehicle for the study of architecture, it does have the potential to transcend its traditionally formalist reputation and engage in a dialogue with contemporary design concerns by revealing the insidious ways power structures infiltrate spatial language.

Writing-in-Action: Preliminary Results from a New Method of Teaching Technical Writing
Authors:   Ferris State University, Cosper Chris , Cosper Denise ,   Ferris State University
Published: August 2023

“I got into architecture because I loved to draw. But now, I spend all day writing.” This statement, spoken by an architect in the twilight of his career, encapsulates the experience of many architects, whose careers often evolve from designing, visualizing, and detailing a project to project management, office manage-ment, and client relations, which require the composition of countless emails, letters, and other forms of written commu¬nication. Technical writing is a critical but underappreciated component of architectural practice, and—correspond¬ingly—it is an undervalued part of architectural education. Gerald Grow argued in “The Writing Problems of Visual Thinkers” that architects think—and therefore write—dif-ferently than the general population. If Grow is correct, should architectural educators not develop a unique peda-gogical approach to teaching architects how to communicate through technical writing? And if so, which pedagogical approach is correct? In The Reflective Practitioner and Educating the Reflective Practitioner, Donald Schön investigated the way that architects and other professionals work through a prob¬lem through a process of testing potential solutions, what Schön called “knowing-in-action,” “reflection-in-action,” and “reflecting on reflection-in-action” (his term for meta-thinking). Because the writing process mirrors the design process in many ways, Schön’s ideas for educating the reflective practitioner should be appropriate for teaching architecture students to write more effectively. This paper analyzes the preliminary introduction of Writing-in-Action during the 2019-20 academic year and fall 2020 semester. The analysis includes three components: 1) an examination of the Writing-in-Action method in a senior-level “bookend” sustainability seminar, 2) an examination of specific Writing-in-Action interventions in a first-year introduction to sustainability course, and 3) a discussion of progress-to-date in a first-year English class taught during the fall 2020 semester.
Standard Details
Authors:   Oklahoma State University, Peiffer Keith
Published: August 2023

Standard details are ubiquitous in contemporary architecture, common in many of the buildings we occupy every day. Despite this reality, there is limited scholarly attention given to theorizing their role; clearly, these types of repetitive, ubiquitous details are not what Edward Ford was concerned with in The Architectural Detail. This paper will interrogate the significant role of the standard detail in professional practice, focusing not on a technical or historical perspective, but rather a practical one focused on how standard details are put into use. Using Lawrence Busch’s expansive exploration of standards and their role in structuring our world as a broad framework, the paper will explore the connections between standard details and their relationship to power in shaping professional practice. Standard details exert their agency within the design pro¬cess, setting the range of what is possible and serving as a standing reserve for the design team to use. Standard details are also materializations of much broader systems, inextrica¬bly connected to the construction industry, manufacturing processes, professional liability, and standardization. The standard detail exerts significant but anonymous power in the practice of architecture and reveals the uncomfortable relationship that the discipline has with the actual contingen¬cies of professional practice. An adaptive reuse project by the author provides the context for the deployment of standard details as an unexceptional yet common example of much of normative contemporary architectural practice. Like many other projects, this one used the following standard details: resilient wall base, acoustical panel ceilings, and hollow metal frames. These standards are deployed in a wide variety of projects and a similar ecology structures their usefulness. Like all standards, their apparent naturalness masks the complex apparatus that created them and gives standard details their power. Their influence in the everyday makes standard details worth our consideration.
New Problematics and Prospects for Public Space: An Experiment with Cul-De-Sac
Authors:   Drury University, Khorshidifard Sara
Published: August 2023

Times of rapid environmental and cultural change impelled by disasters, pandemics, and socio-political unrests deem essential broadened awareness and resilient tenacities for an urbanism that is set to act in post-traumatic modes. In times of precarity, urban public realm spaces in various shades and most mundane shapes are ever more vital to help cities heal by restoring their social longevity, improving people-environment relations and setting the pace for future generations. On top of effective micro and macro projects, successful cities stand out through vigorous middle-scale spaces in their boroughs, districts, and neighborhoods. This essay resumes discussions on the role of public realm in neighborhood commonplaces through experimentations via a didactic exercise reexamining cities’ contemporary cul-de-sac forms and spaces. The prevailing and familiar spatial layout of the cul-de-sac is explored and extrapolated. It is often the most obvious of things/topics around us that are not viewed critically or at all. Cul-de-sac as the topic of investigation is considered both literally and figuratively, a space with concrete dimensionalities, a symbol of designed seclusion as modern residential ideal and a metaphor for roadblock qualities cities and neighborhoods are facing today tangled with larger inequalities, uneven developments, and lacks in connectivity, permeability, sociability, etc. These effects have become emblematic of urbanizations sacked, disengaged, and close-ended conditions resulting in fear of the other, diminished public realm and depleted social life. Starting with background studies and synoptic understandings of the genre’s past and present, the essay follows through with a comparative undergraduate design studio exercise. The introductory, warm-up practice uses particular socio-spatial analysis methods in evaluating current conditions for stretching spatial opportunities. Advancing the cause, prospects and initiatives for the future public space, this piece concludes with a review of the pedagogical process, methodological application, and thoughts on the reexaminations of cul-de-sacs for enhanced and possibly unfamiliar experiences.
Rethinking Parkerson Mill Creek, AU Campus

Published: August 2023

Parkerson Mill Creek (PMC), an indispensable portion of the nearby environment, gives a green corridor with valuable local ecologies. Quick urbanization, extra loads of surface runoff, climate change, and contamination have changed the creek’s biodiversity. Between 1965-1973, Auburn’s city culverted the Parkerson Mill Creek stream close RBD library, which signifi¬cantly altered headwaters’ flow. Parts of stopping parcels are making a point source of contamination that contaminates the stormwater. The zone is making a straight edge between AU green space and Auburn’s city’s green walkways. Besides, the town itself has few green spaces left compared to the green expanse of Auburn University. Both spaces co-exist without creating any association. The location within the RBD library’s front illustrates the potentiality of adjusting and bringing back the past ( PMC) by reconnecting all the city’s green texture. This investigation objectives center on making a transitional space of interaction whereas giving stormwater manage¬ment techniques by daylighting Parkerson Mill Creek close the RBD Library.

Pengenalan Gangguan Reproduksi Anak Pria Pra-Pubertas di Kelurahan Meras Kecamatan Bunaken, Kota Manado
Authors: Maabuat Pience Veralyn , DeQueljoe Edwin
Published: August 2023

Disorders or abnormalities of sexual differentiation and development in men and women began to be known when the child entered the prepubertal period. For boys, abnormalities include cryptorchidism, hypospadias, congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, and pseudohermaphroditism. The prepubertal period is the period that begins at the end of childhood called prepuberty, also known as the maturation stage where at this stage secondary sex characteristics begin to appear and the reproductive organs in boys have begun to develop perfectly. For this reason, it is necessary for early recognition through the transfer of knowledge regarding reproductive organs, especially known by parents, so that they can give attention to the health condition of children in the family and of course can determine steps for early countermeasures if a disorder is found in the child's reproductive organs. Partners who participated in this activity were community members in Meras Village, Bunaken District, who had children from prepuberty to teenage. The purpose of this activity is to increase public knowledge about reproductive health in boys prepubertal. The results obtained were an increase in knowledge through given tests before and after the transfer of knowledge, and the results of the free examination carried out did not find abnormalities in the sample children.Keywords: Disorders; reproduction; cryptorchidism; hypospadias; Meras AbstrakGangguan atau kelainan diferensiasi dan perkembangan seksual pada pria dan wanita, mulai diketahui pada saat anak memasuki  masa pra pubertas.

Published: August 2023

Aim. To justify and propose a methodology for searching multi-criteria Pareto-optimal solutions based on the use of socio-economic models or digital twins of complex dynamical systems.

Tasks. To substantiate the relevance of using predictive methods for making managerial decisions in conditions of rapid changes and the need to use for these purposes recommendation systems using socio-economic models or digital twins. To propose a methodology for searching multi-criteria Pareto-optimal solutions and to evaluate its accuracy on mathematical and socioeconomic models. To formulate recommendations and limitations on the use of this methodology.

Methods. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, grouping), mathematical methods of searching for Pareto-optimal solutions and generation of LP -sequences, results of mathematical modelling and numerical experiments were used in the research.

Results. The methodology of searching for multicriteria Pareto-optimal managerial decisions is proposed, proposals and limitations on its application are formulated.

Conclusions. In conditions of rapid changes it is important to be able to make managerial decisions that take into account the influence of many factors and, accordingly, many criteria characterising the socio-economic system, and at the same time it is necessary to make these managerial decisions in accordance with the logic “from the future”. The method of searching for multi-criteria Pareto-optimal solutions based on the use of socio-economic models or digital twins is proposed. The accuracy of this method is investigated on mathematical models of different degrees of nonlinearity with different number of parameters when solving production multi-parametric problems.

Purpose: This study is aimed at determining the effect of strategic outsourcing and corporate performance of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria Research methodology: The study adopted a survey research design because it is suitable and ideal for assessing how effective outsourcing strategy affects the corporate performance of insurance firms in Nigeria. With a population of 720 staff from three quoted insurance firms in Nigeria, using Yamane's formula, a sample of 260 respondents was selected. Multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses that were developed at a significance level of 0.05 percent. Results: The study unveiled that outsourcing has evolved into a helpful strategy and weapon for corporate organizations, particularly for Nigerian insurance companies that are constantly looking to improve their corporate performance in the financial sector. Limitations: This study is limited to quoted insurance firms in Nigeria as of December 2021; hence, the result may not be universal to other excluded categories. It is expected that further studies should cover all the insurance firms in Nigeria with variables like comprehensive and ICT outsourcing strategies on the operational efficiency and profitability of insurance firms in Nigeria. Contributions: To leverage the services of other organizations and professionals outside of their core competencies for operational effectiveness and efficiency, corporate organizations in Nigeria, especially those in the financial sector, should incorporate strategic outsourcing into their corporate culture.

تقانتا "الإدهاش" و"التكثيف" في أعمال جمعة الفاخري ( مجموعتا "عصير ثرثرة" و"سحابة مسك" نموذجا)

تُعتبر تقانتا الإدهاش والتكثيف من أهمّ تقانات القصّة القصيرة جدًّا، فعنصر الإدهاش يأتي في القصّة القصيرة جدًّا كخاتمة تتّضح فيها معالم القصّة ورؤى القاصّ، ومن سمات هذا العنصر وخصائصه هو أنّه يأتي مخالفا لسياق الحركة الدّلاليّة للحكاية وبهذا يكون مغايرا ومربكا لأفق انتظار القارئ، كما أنّ تقانة التكثيف هي التي تميّز هذا الجنس الأدبي من غيره من الأجناس الأدبيّة. انطلاقا من هذه الأهميّة جاءت هذه الدراسة لتسلّط الضوء على هاتين التقنيتين في الأعمال القصصيّة لـ"جمعة الفاخري" بهدف معرفة حجم إسهامات هاتين التقنيتين في نجاح القصّة القصيرة جدًّا عند أحد أعلامها في المغرب العربي، ونظرا إلى كثرة كتابات جمعة الفاخري في هذا الجنس الأدبي فقد ركّزت الدراسة على مجموعتي "عصير ثرثرة" و"سحابة مسك" كنموذجٍ لباقي أعماله القصصيّة، وتقوم هذه الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي- التحليلي لكشف مواقع هاتين التقنيتين، ثم بيان دورهما في إنجاح عمليّة القصّ السردي عند الكاتب. وقد اتّضح لنا أنّ تقانة "الإدهاش" كانت حاضرة وبقوّة في قصص جمعة الفاخري القصيرة جدًّا، وأنّ هذه التقانة تنتج عن الإضمار والغموض والحذف والتخييل وترك البياضات الفارغة واصطناع لغة المفارقة و... لخلخلة ميثاق التلقي وإرباك القارئ وتبديد أفق انتظاره وتوقعه، هذا بالإضافة إلى تقانة التكثيف التي ساهمت في إضفاء الحركيّة والضغط المعنائي الناتج عن كثرة المضمون في قالب اللفظ الذي يختاره القاصّ، كما تنوّعت أشكال التكثيف عند الفاخري ما بين تكثيف دلالي وبنائي وسيكولوجي. وعند مناقشة الأساليب البلاغية والفنية في قصص الكاتب وجدنا أنها كانت متنوعة ما بين التناص والحوار والانزياح والتضاد، والتناص لدى الفاخري وظف خدمة للتكثيف، فيما وجدنا الحوار والانزياح والتضاد قد خدمت تقانة الإدهاش ودورها

تشكيلات الإيقاع واتّساق نصِّ المديح الجاهلي (مدح بشر بن أبي خازم لأوس الطائي نموذجاً)
Authors: شتيّات فؤاد
Published: August 2023

يدرس البحث تشكيلات الإيقاع واتّساق نص المديح في قصائد مدح بشر بن أبي خازم لأوس بن حارثة بن لأم الطائي في العصر الجاهلي، ويحاول ربط الإيقاع الخارجي من وزن وقافية أو إيقاع المتماثلات أو التكرار أو المتجانسات أو المتعاقبات أو بنية الأصوات بالمعنى الشعري، وبالفكرة التي راودت الشاعر ودفعته إلى الانخراط في مدح أوس الطائي. ويرى البحث أنّ كل ما ذكره يقع في دائرة الإيقاع الخارجي للقصيدة، أمّا الإيقاع الداخلي للقصيدة فتلك الروح التي تسري داخل وشائج القصيدة الداخلية وتنظم الفكرة وتنمو بها تصاعديا أو أفقيا في معمار القصيدة بدءا بالمقدمة وانتهاء بنهاية القصيدة. ويسير البحث وفق محورين،الأول: ويعالج فيه المفهوم العام للإيقاع الخارجي والداخلي، والآخر: ويعالج فيه دور الإيقاع والتكرار في تشكيل التجربة الشعرية عند بشر بن خازم في مدحه لأوس بن حارثة الطائي، وجماليات ذلك الإيقاع بشكليه الخارجي والداخلي.
