Identity Conflict in Modern Greece: Revisiting the Concept of Helleno-Christian Synthesis?
Authors: Vorotnikov V. V. , Nesterov D. S.
Published: September 2024

The relevance of addressing the topic of national identity is determined by the high dynamism of changes in the societal space of the modern world, which complicates and at the same time requires constant study of the peculiarities of self-identification of certain social communities. From this point of view, the identity conflict in modern Greece provides extensive material that, despite the breadth and depth of the available research literature, has not yet been thoroughly analysed. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of change in the religious component of Greek identity influenced by the processes of European integration and to explore how so-called European values are adapted to at the national level. To this end, the following objectives are achieved: firstly, the main value-based and religious attitudes of the Greek society in the process of national identity formation are identified; secondly, the available data on the current religious situation in the country are systematized; finally, the cases of identity conflict in modern Greece are analysed. The research materials include legal documents, data from official websites, as well as media materials. The research methodology relies upon axiological and hermeneutical approaches; the method of narrative analysis and discourse analysis are also used. The results of the study show that Helleno-Christian formula is an attempt to bring together Greek identity with its antique background and the Church claims to have a significant role in the process. The historic overview as well as modern statistics and data indicate patterns in the identification of the people of Greece, including cases of identity conflicts. The research substantiates the conclusion about the significant impact of the erosion of the religious component on the process of transformation of Greek identity. European legislation, as well as the ‘European values’ promoted by Brussels, have led to the deterioration of the key formula of the ‘Helleno-Christian synthesis’, which defined the design of Greek identity during the time of gaining independence and has retained its influence until recently. While, on the one hand, there is an expansion of rights and freedoms, including religious freedoms, on the other hand, a model of society imposed from above and often not supported from below, which was not typical for Greece before its accession to the EU, is being established. The identity conflict associated with this process polarises society and leads not only political parties but also religious institutions to revise their value-based and ideological platforms.

Objective: The purpose was to analyze the characteristics of water education in rural communities of the Andes; on the management and importance of water in the framework of university social responsibility.
 
Theoretical Framework: Theoretical Framework: Theoretical concepts and approaches that support the research are discussed, highlighting the university social responsibility, water education, sustainable development and water culture.
 
Method: The methodology is a mixed approach, for data collection from the qualitative approach, nine community members were interviewed and from the quantitative approach, it is descriptive, using the survey with its respective closed questionnaire for data collection. The sample consisted of 170 inhabitants of both sexes, over 18 years of age and residents of the Santa sub-basin, in the Huarán river, Santiago de Chuco, Peru.
 
Results and Discussion: Los resultados muestran una disminución de las precipitaciones y de las fuentes de agua en los últimos 30 años, asociada a la ausencia de tecnología para el uso racional de los escasos recursos hídricos en riesgo y al alejamiento de las tradiciones en la cultura del agua. En la discusión se contextualizan las implicaciones y relaciones identificadas. En esta sección se consideran las posibles discrepancias y limitaciones del estudio.
 
Research Implications: Water education studies are discussed, deepening from its categories water management and water culture; with contributions in projects of the region as well as approach from the educational curriculum in basic education, and social responsibility in companies and at university level. The implications include the description of proposals to optimize water management within the framework of University Social Responsibility through water education in rural communities of the Andes.
 
Originality/Value: The study contributes to the reflection on the use and optimization of water and its optimization from the framework of the University Social Responsibility, through water education. The relevance and value are seen when considering actions with the development of improved tools for teaching aspects related to water within the educational program, promoting water culture. It was identified, in rural communities, that water users prioritize quantity over quality by addressing water culture, which encompasses ancestral knowledge of communities, artistic and intellectual manifestations and experiences of the inhabitants. Therefore, Andean communities in families are connected by cultural and ancestral ties, which express land ownership, communal work and mutual help in the care of water.

Entre el silencio del cine y la electricidad del video. La apertura de la antropología audiovisual chilena a razones y memorias múltiples
Authors: Chamorro Andrea , Maturana Felipe , Donoso Juan Pablo
Published: September 2024

En el entendido que la antropología audiovisual chilena tuvo un notable impulso en la década de 1990 gracias al acceso a la tecnología del video y la emergencia de espacios de formación, investigación y creación audiovisual; revisamos de su trayectoria histórica atendiendo a sus conversaciones con la tecnología y la estética del video, así como a sus vínculos y continuidades respecto de lo que fuera la cinematografía documental chilena hasta la década de 1970. Desde esta perspectiva, sugerimos que la colaboración interdisciplinaria entre antropólogos y realizadores audiovisuales de la serie de documental para televisión Al sur del mundo (años 1984-2001) desde la base de que constituye un acto de restauración y apertura que reelabora la genealogía de una antropología que se enlazó con la realización audiovisual por razones y memorias múltiples.
La ley 26.160: entre la etnicidad y los “estilos locales de hacer política” en la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina)
Authors: Colla Julia , Martínez María Eugenia
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo aborda la compleja trama social y política en la concreción de la Ley nacional Nº 26.160 que declara la emergencia en materia de posesión y propiedad de tierras indígenas, en la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina). El análisis se centra en su articulación con las estructuras burocráticas locales y en los límites para la representación y la participación indígena. A su vez, se describen los “estilos locales de hacer política” –que refiere a las reglas de juego a la que deben incorporarse los representantes indígenas– y la influencia que esto tiene en la etnicidad y en la percepción y valoración de la normativa. Se concluye que superar los dilemas etnopolíticos es uno de los desafíos más importantes que tienen las comunidades santafesinas paraalcanzar resultados que coincidan con la regularización del dominio de la tierra y aseguren la permanencia territorial e, incluso, el acceso a mayores extensiones para su desarrollo sociocultural.
¿Conoce la ruta q 699? La arritmia del estado y la vida soterrada de los caminos en el territorio Pewenche
Authors: Skewes Juan Carlos Carlos , Espinoza Gabriel , Guerra Debbie , Blanch Benjamin , Isla José Andrés
Published: September 2024

El camino constituye una mediación material entre las comunidades locales y el Estado. La constitución de este nexo entraña un enjambre de posibilidades cuya realización es el fruto del tipo de relación que se establece entre los actores involucrados. Este artículo procura poner de relieve la compleja trama de acciones que subyace a la construcción, el uso, la mantención y la reparación de rutas marginales que vinculan, en este caso, a comunidades Pewenche con su entorno regional. Para ello, mediante la observación etnográfica, se acompaña en su desplazamiento a residentes locales y se entrevista a usuarios y funcionarios de la ruta Q 699. Los resultados permiten visualizar el camino como algo vivo, cuya condición cambiante se condicecon los procesos vividos localmente. El análisis pone de relieve que las partes –el Estado y las comunidades Pewenche– logran preservar sus propósitos en términos de mantener niveles de relativa autonomía y de una presencia espasmódica. No obstante, se concluye que el costo de tales adecuaciones lo asume el entorno en términos de una creciente degradación provocada por empresas que resultan ser invisibilizadas por una gobernanza arrítmica.
Reconocimiento tardío: incidencia en la política indígena de “nuevos” pueblos y territorios indígenas
Authors: De la Maza Francisca , Campos Luis
Published: September 2024

El artículo aborda las implicancias de la puesta en acción de la política indígena orientada a los pueblos y territorios indígenas que no se consideraron inicialmente en la promulgación de la Ley Indígena Nº 19.253 de 1993. A partir de una investigación etnográfica y colaborativa de larga duración, se analiza el proceso de reconocimiento de estos pueblos: en 2006, el pueblo Diaguita; en 2020, el pueblo Chango y en 2023, el pueblo Selk’nam, a lo que se suma el Pueblo Tribal Afrodescendiente en 2019, con la Ley Nº 21.151. En particular, se analizan las implicancias de este reconocimiento tardío en la relación entre líderes y organizaciones indígenas y funcionarios en diferentes dimensiones, como los procesos de acreditación, la conformación de comunidades y la implementación de la política indígena. Finalmente, el artículo muestra la relevancia de la perspectiva y la metodología de la etnografía del estado para analizar las múltiples complejidades del contexto, los agentes y la agencia de los involucrados en estas relaciones y las formas de negociación, conflicto y colaboración en este reconocimiento tardío, en contraste con los pueblos y territorios indígenas que fueron incorporados explícitamente en la ley en 1993.
La etnografía de la política pública como arte marcial: análisis del estado de bienestar contra la corriente
Authors: Dubois Vincent
Published: September 2024

Burawoy distingue entre sociología política, sociología profesional y sociología pública. Basándome en mi propia experiencia investigadora en etnografía crítica para analizar organizaciones y políticas de asistencia social, muestro que estos tres tipos no se contradicen necesariamente entre sí. En una estrategia que se hace eco de la noción de “arte marcial” de Bourdieu, propongo considerarlos más bien como tres etapas posibles. En primer lugar, la investigación por encargo permite acceder al terreno y a los datos. Siempre que el investigador preserve su autonomía, esta etapa provisional resulta necesaria para construir un conocimiento académico innovador sobre las formas concretas de las políticas públicas. Después, este uso científico autónomo de la información de primera mano, interna y detallada permite al investigador difundir un conocimiento crítico fuera del ámbito académico. Como en un arte marcial, el investigador crítico puede utilizar la fuerza del socio-adversario (aquí los organismos públicos) para “luchar” contra él, es decir, para contribuir a la crítica pública de sus políticas.

The Threatening of Rongga Language as a Result of Crossbreeding from Different Languages
Authors: Suparsa I Nyoman , Mantra Ida Bagus Nyoman , Apsari Ni Putu Anggi
Published: September 2024

Several factors are causing the threat of a language, namely globalization, majority and minority ethnicities’s existence, lack of participation of the younger generation, and crossbreeding. One of the reasons for the Rongga language is crossbreeding. This study employed a qualitative research design to study the Rongga language in crossbreed marriages. Thus, this research is intended to analyze the crossbreeding between ethnic groups with different languages, especially to figure out how Manggarai-speaking people and Ngadha-speaking people who are married to Rongga people pronounce the words of the Rongga language that contain sounds ɓ, ɗ, ɠ, ᵐb, ⁿd, ᵑg, ɹ. This study found that the sounds [ɓ], [ɗ], [ɓ], [ᵐb], [ⁿd], [ᵑg], [ɹ] in the Rongga language by Manggarai speakers are pronounced as [bʰ], [dʰ], [gʰ], [mb], [nd], [ŋg], and [r]. Every language sound [ɓ], [ɗ], [ɠ], [ᵐb], [ⁿd], [ᵑg], [ɹ] in Rongga by speakers of the language Ngadha is respectively pronounced as [bʰ], [dʰ], [gʰ], [b], [d], [g], [ʤ] or [r]. It showed that the threat to the Rongga language started from the smallest elements, namely the sounds of the language. Apart from that, threats in the Rongga language also occurred due to the limited vocabulary in the Rongga language; hence, they had to absorb the vocabulary from Indonesian. This study implies communicating in Rongga language should be carefully taken into account because it has several language variations.
Developing the Corpus of Minangkabau Language: Insights, Challenges, and Future Directions
Authors: Handoko Handoko
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses the design for developing the Minangkabau language corpus, especially regarding the opportunities and challenges. The corpus development of Minangkabau is a crucial project to document, preserve, and revive the treasure trove of culture within the language. The availability of a Minangkabau language corpus can open opportunities for more intensive research on the Minangkabau language with a more modern and data-based approach. It can also encourage the development of Minangkabau corpus-based teaching materials. The corpus is manually assembled using various sources’ comprehensive data collection, annotation, and curation pipelines. These may be manuscripts, books, newspapers, or other written texts and spontaneous conversations, such as interviews or public speeches. Multimedia resources, such as television and radio broadcasts, audio-video recordings, and social media content, also add to the diversity of data gathered. The availability of accessible digital sources, such as online videos, online radio programs, and ebooks, can make data collection easier. However, several challenges may appear in developing the Minangkabau language corpus, such as limited technology accessibility, dialect variations, and the involvement of highly skilled human resources. This paper explains some opportunities for developing the Minangkabau language corpus and increasing the role of the corpus in revitalizing and documenting the Minangkabau language. Furthermore, the availability of the Minangkabau language corpus can also be a starting point for developing linguistic technology, such as voice recognition, text-to-speech, and natural language processing.

Authors: Kumar Om , Krishna Amresh , Singh Prit Pal
Published: September 2024

In Bihar, nephrology services began in 1976–1977 at Patna Medical College and in 1984 at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, but with limited facilities. In the last 10 years, significant growth in nephrology services has been seen in Bihar. Many dialysis units were established, including 35 centers under Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme providing free or subsidized dialysis. All districts now have dialysis units. Kidney transplant services, which first started at Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), are now being performed at three more centers. More than 180 transplants have been performed; all live except for one deceased kidney transplant done at IGIMS. Although nephrology services at present are inadequate, recent years have seen an exponential growth in nephrology services in Bihar.

Enhancing histology learning in sports science education through a functional approach and virtual microscopy practical sessions
Authors: Ambardini Rachmah Laksmi , Arovah Novita Intan , Indra Eka Novita
Published: September 2024

Background Problems: Histology is a critical component of the sports science curriculum, as it thoroughly explains the connection between the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. Research Objective: This study investigates the improvement of histology learning among sports science students by employing a functional approach and practical sessions with virtual microscopy. Methods: The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with 103 students from the Sports Science program, enrolled in a histology course with two parallel classes. The students were divided into experimental (n = 56) and control groups (n = 46) using cluster random sampling based on their classes. The experimental group received instruction using virtual microscopy, while the control group was taught using light microscopy throughout the semester. Both groups were assessed on their learning outcomes at the end of the semester through a written exam. Experimental group students also provided feedback on the courses. Using the independent t-test, the learning outcomes were compared between groups. Students’ feedback was analysed descriptively. Findings and Results: The results revealed that the average test scores for participants in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (74.9 ± 7.8 and 68.9 ± 9.6, respectively). Student feedback indicated that the majority concurred that the functional approach to histology teaching enhanced their understanding of histological structures. They also noted that practical virtual microscopy sessions improved their comprehension of the topics studied. Additionally, nervous tissue was identified as the most challenging tissue to learn, primarily due to visualisation difficulties in relating microscopic and macroscopic structures and the abundance of new terminology to remember. Conclusion: The findings suggest that combining a functional approach with virtual microscopy notably enhances the quality of histology education, equipping sports science students with a comprehensive understanding and essential practical skills for their academic and professional development.

Published: September 2024

To date, no one will be surprised by 3D technologies, for users, monitor screens with visualization in the form of three-dimensional 3D images have become common and familiar. There are many ways to add volume to still and moving images. Accordingly, technologies for creating three-dimensional graphics are extremely diverse in nature, allowing you to model virtual objects and create images based on them. At the same time, various visualization systems of numerous three-dimensional (3D) models (including digital terrain models (DEM)) using stereo effect are the most effective and characterized by the maximum degree of clarity. This determines the purpose of this work – to study and analyze the possibilities and features of creating anaglyphic relief maps using free software for geographic information systems with open object code. Three-dimensional geo-images of the relief were created by implementing the anaglyphic method on the example of the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. The relevance of the presented research is determined primarily by the fact that the active and widespread introduction of various variants of 3D geo-images into our daily life and the practice of scientific research simultaneously reveals the presence of a number of problems related in one way or another to technologies and means of obtaining and perceiving them. The theoretical aspects and modern methods of creating anaglyphic relief images using various GIS products were studied, their disadvantages and advantages were revealed. The results of the work confirm the possibility and accessibility of using the GIS functionality with open object code to create anaglyphic geo-images. Using the functionality of the open GIS SAGA and QGIS, a series of relief anaglyph maps for the territory of the Republic of Mordovia was obtained. The results of the research performed, the data obtained and the author's materials created confirm the need and identify possible ways to improve the overall technological scheme for creating anaglyphic maps and plans. The given technological schemes for the creation of anaglyphic geo-images and the obtained materials can be used in organizing and conducting further studies of the features of the relief of the Republic of Mordovia.

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Health of Postmenopausal Women
Authors: Лукашенко С.Ю. , Рубченко Т.И.
Published: September 2024

Проведен анализ данных о 745 пациентках с естественной и хирургической постменопаузой. Обсуждается характер влияния заместительной гормональной терапии (ЗГТ) на здоровье женщин. Для группы из 91 пациентки, принимавших ЗГТ на протяжении 7 лет, исследована динамика минеральной плотности костной ткани (МПКТ) шейки бедра и поясничных позвонков методом двуэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии (ДРА). Изучались характер изменений МПКТ на фоне приема ЗГТ в зависимости от ее исходного состояния, а также динамика оценочного заключения о наличии остеопороза и остеопении у пациентки. Исследование позволяет сделать вывод, что ЗГТ, как минимум, на 7 лет «естественным способом» тормозит старение костной ткани в проблемных зонах и должна быть основной при лечении постменопаузального остеопороза.

Data on 745 patients with natural and surgical postmenopause has been analyzed. An effect of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on women's health is discussed. For a group of 91 patients who took HRT for 7 years, the dynamics of bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae was studied by the method of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DRA). The nature of changes in BMD against the background of HRT intake was studied depending on its initial state as well as the dynamics of the evaluation conclusion about the presence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in the patient. The study allows us to conclude that HRT "naturally" slows down the aging of bone tissue in problematic areas for at least 7 years and should be a basis in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Метод оценки статуса результата измерения для четырехэлектродной измерительной схемы термоэлектрического преобразователя
Authors: Федосов И.И.
Published: September 2024

Измерение температуры в промышленности реализовано преимущественно контактными средствами измерения, таким как термосопротивления и термопары. Термопары позволяют измерять температуру в широком диапазоне и с высокой точностью, однако эксплуатация термопар под воздействием промышленных факторов приводит к изменению термоэлектрических свойств материалов и росту погрешности измерения температуры. В данном исследовании предложен метод оценки статуса результата измерения температуры на основе новой четырехэлектродной измерительной схемы термоэлектрического преобразователя (ТЭП). Использование предложенного метода позволяет получить статус результата измерения «подтвержденный», «ориентирующий» или «недостоверный» для каждого измерения ТЭП в рабочем диапазоне температур. Экспериментальное исследование предложенного метода для четырехэлектродного ТЭП хромель-алюмель-нихросил-нисил подтвердило возможность определения роста погрешности измерений ТЭП на уровне допускаемых отклонений.
El diagnóstico que favorece a agresores intrafamiliares en Colombia y Latinoamérica
Authors: Correa Solarte Alexandra
Published: September 2024

Como periodista colombiana, publiqué una investigación sobre la aplicación de pseudociencia en los juzgados de familia en los que permiten el uso del constructo de la “alienación parental” y el “Síndrome de la Alienación Parental” (SAP) que diagnostica a las mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar como locas y, a los niños que han denunciado sobre todo abuso sexual incestuoso, como mentirosos. Una estrategia claramente defensora de presuntos agresores intrafamiliares que no solo se utiliza en Colombia, sino en otros países de Latinoamérica y el mundo. Estas teorías han sido descartadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la comunidad científica internacional, por no contar con bases probadas o concluyentes en detrimento de los derechos humanos de mujeres y niños, constituyéndose como una herramienta violentadora de género. Estas ideas fueron acuñadas por el médico estadounidense defensor de la pedofilia, Richard Alan Gardner, en 1985. Mi investigación se realizó con base a las denuncias de decenas de mujeres víctimas de violencia intrafamiliar, la mayoría pertenecientes al colectivo “Yo Sí Te Creo” y fue publicada y mencionada en medios internacionales y nacionales. Así como también fue insumo para el informe de la Relatora de Naciones Unidas para las Mujeres y las Niñas, Reem Alsalem en 2023. Además coadyuvó entre otros esfuerzos civiles a que la Corte Constitucional colombiana prohibiera el uso de la pseudo-teoría, pues permite entregar las custodias de menores de edad a presuntos abusadores sexuales y dejar los delitos intrafamiliares en impunidad.
The Findability of Microkinetic Parameters by Heterogeneous Chemical Reaction Neural Networks (hCRNNs)
Authors: Stagge Hannes , Güttel Robert
Published: September 2024

Finding microkinetic parameters for heterogeneously catalyzed processes with conventional methods is a challenging task. Recently, the use of artiﬁcial neural networks has been described as a promising and ﬂexible tool for kinetic parameter estimation. In this work, an extension to the methodology of chemical reaction neural networks (CRNNs) to heterogeneously catalyzed reaction networks (hCRNNs) is proposed. The developed network architecture encapsulates physically interpretable layers for the Arrhenius expression, coverage dependency, and power-law terms encountered in a typical microkinetic model and accounts for possible reversibility of all elementary step reactions in the mechanism. Thus, it is fully interpretable and acts as a drop-in replacement for a conventional kinetic expression. The methodology is further examined on a prototypical heterogeneously catalyzed reaction mechanism under transient conditions and various operational and kinetic regimes. This work oﬀers a framework for quantifying network errors and interpreting its predictions as well as a systematic overview assessing its ability to identify kinetic parameters. It is found that kinetic behavior is generally described very well by the network. Additionally, kinetic discovery is possible for the fastest reaction in the mechanism, if observed. A link between the results and the transient regime is established. With this, the design of suitable hCRNNs training strategies becomes possible.

We introduce a multi-objective search algorithm for retrosynthesis planning, based on a Monte Carlo Tree search formalism. The multi-objective search allow for combining diverse set of objectives without considering their scale or weighting factors. To benchmark this novel algorithm, we employ four objectives in a total of eight retrosynthesis experiments on a PaRoutes benchmark set. The objectives ranges from simple ones based on starting material and step count to complex ones based on synthesis complexity and route similarity. We show that with the careful employment of complex objectives, the multi-objective algorithm outperforms the single-objective search and provides a more diverse set of solution that is closer to the desired objective. Our algorithm thus provides a framework for incorporating novel objectives for specific applications in synthesis planning.
The Implementation of Analytical Functions in the Field of Domestic Policy in the Executive Authorities of the Regions of the Siberian Federal District
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Romanovsky A. A.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the work is to identify the specifics of the implementation of analytical functions by professional units in the domestic political blocks of regional governments on the example of the subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the Siberian Federal District. Research objectives: 1) to analyze the regulatory framework governing the activities of the executive authorities of the regions in the field of domestic policy; 2) to study the specifics of the organization of structural divisions of these executive authorities performing analytical functions; 3) to analyze the implementation of these functions in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that despite following the basic principles of the organization of expert and analytical activities, structurally and functionally it is built differently in different regions. The specifics of the implementation of analytical functions among specialized departments in the domestic political blocs of regional governments of the subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the Siberian Federal District are most pronounced in the Irkutsk region. The region is the only one where expert management is separately allocated in the office of the highest official. Among the regions of the Siberian Federal District, where specialized executive authorities have been established, the Ministry of Domestic Policy of the Omsk Region differs to a greater extent in the implementation of analytical functions.

Goal: To investigate the current status of quality of life of postoperative patients with gynaecological tumours, and to analyse the relevant factors affecting the quality of life of postoperative patients with gynaecological tumours. Method: One hundred and fifty-three postoperative gynecological oncology patients who attended the gynaecology and oncology departments of three tertiary hospitals in Henan Province from June 2023 to March 2024 were investigated by convenience sampling method. The patients' postoperative survival quality was investigated through the General Information Survey Scale and Quality of Life Score Scale. Results: The quality of life measurement scale score of postoperative gynaecological oncology patients in this study was (121.27±10.87), in which there was a difference in the quality of life of postoperative gynaecological oncology patients of different age, education level, marital status, and per capita monthly income of the family, p<0.05. Conclude: The quality of life level of postoperative gynaecological oncology patients is generally good, and age, literacy, marital status, and per capita monthly family income are important factors in the postoperative quality of life of gynaecological oncology patients. Healthcare professionals should focus on patients with older age, lower education level, unstable marital status, and poor economic status, and provide personalised targeted interventions to improve their quality of life.
Sanctuary
Authors:   , Crews Nickol
Published: September 2024

In 2003, architectural historian and lecturer K. Michael Hays authored the book Sanctuaries: The Last Works of John Hejduk in conjunction with an exhibition of the same name at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City. Sanctuaries catalogued the later architectural works of American academic and architect John Hejduk, which were comprised of a series of intimate and allegorical architectural constructions that pose as sanctuaries where urban dwellers might escape the tragic history that still defines the war-torn European city of Berlin. However, while Hejduk’s ‘sanctuaries’ act as witnesses to the historical tragedy, they provide no solace—only a didactic and allegorical recognition of the horrors of the past.

This design-led thesis investigation explores how the dark historical lens that underpins Hejduk’s Sanctuaries can evolve in a positive direction to focus on contemporary issues of environmentalism, particularly for children as they grow into adulthood. This thesis explores how architectural ‘sanctuaries’ can be conceived as special places allegorically imbued with our deep-seated connection to the natural realm rather than embodying didactic recognition of the horrors of the past. My personal experience of childhood, growing up in a semi-rural area, established the natural realm as an important sanctuary, where I weathered the rites of passage we all struggle through as we grow into adulthood. The paddock and childhood home form the research sites for the thesis’s allegorical architectural outcomes.

American specialist in comparative mythology Joseph Campbell’s book The Hero’s Journey defines the universal rites of passage we all experience. This design-led thesis investigation uses The Hero’s Journey as a framework for an allegorical architectural project that frames sanctuaries as didactic architectural experiences that reinforce the importance of our intimate connection with the natural realm. Unlike Hejduk’s architectural interventions that remind us of a tragic past, these sanctuaries are conceived as invitations to renew our connection to the natural world through play, learning from nature and about nature in the process while confronting the most significant issue facing us in the 21st century: our connection to a thriving and sustainable natural environment.

This thesis asks: How can John Hejduk’s framework for Sanctuaries be re-presented as an allegorical architectural project that teaches children about our deep-seated connection to the natural realm?
