Subjects: Music,Ethnography,Participatory Research,Action Research,Figurative Language,Research Methodology,Researchers,Qualitative Research,Epistemology,Educational Practices,Psychological Patterns

Drawing from a two-year ethnographic study, this article establishes jazz as an epistemological metaphor for critical participatory action research. The author juxtaposes the tensions inherent in jazz music and critical participatory research methodologies to provide a framework for understanding how dissonance can become a productive element for meaning making and Truth-telling. The article establishes three major implications for critical researchers: 1) The desirability of discomfort in critical qualitative research as a means to avoid stagnation; 2) the &quot;crisis-generating&quot; potential of jazz epistemologies as an approach to critical participatory action research; and, 3) the emergence of new perspectives on research and pedagogy from the intersections of critical research and teaching practices.

Duoethnography (DE) is a collaborative research method where two or more individuals explore similar and different meanings of a phenomenon, based on each of their life experiences (Norris, 2008). Created by Joe Norris and Rick Sawyer, the approach is informed by the narrative tradition of storytelling and builds on Pinar's concept of &quot;currere.&quot; This paper will use one author's experience with a DE project as a &quot;case,&quot; which provides a context for both authors to juxtapose their histories with DE. Our purpose is to uncover and disrupt many of the assumptions of able-bodied normativity within DE's methodological processes, as this has yet to be explored within the duoethnographic literature. More specifically, we will use a reflexive process about the tenets of duoethnography as identified above to better understand the role of power within co-researcher differences, and to also explore the challenge and personal risk of research methods that require relationship, care, trust, and vulnerability.

This study sought to explore the leisure attitudes of the individuals participating in the dance activities, to compare them on the basis of various variables and to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between these attitudes and the life satisfaction of the individual. The research sample includes 302 individuals participating in the activities of the dance halls and dance courses in Ankara and their mean age is 24.55 ± 6.09.&quot;Leisure Attitude Scale&quot; (LAS) which was developed by Ragheb and Beard in 1982 and adapted into Turkish by Akgül and Gürbüz (2010) was utilized in order to determine the leisure attitudes of the participants. &quot;Satisfaction With Life Scale&quot; (SWLS) which was developed by Diener et al. (1985) and adapted into Turkish by Durak, Durak et al. (2010) was employed to find out the life satisfaction levels of the participants. Descriptive statistics of the leisure attitudes and life satisfaction levels of the individuals were produced. In addition, independent one sample t-test (t-test) and one way analysis of variance (OneWay ANOVA) were performed to explore whether leisure attitudes of the individuals vary according to the variables. With a view to bring to light the relationship between leisure attitude and life satisfaction, Pearson Correlation analysis was performed. The t-test and ANOVA, which conducted on the basis of the findings of the above-mentioned analysis to compare the leisure attitude scores and its subscales, revealed that the scores of leisure attitudes of the individuals participating to the dance activity and their cognitive and behavioural subscales do not vary according to their gender, age groups and educational level. However, the findings also shed light on that the participants whose perceived income level is low outscored the ones whose perceived income level is medium or high, only at the behavioural subscale in the comparison through the variable of perceived income level. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the leisure attitudes of the participants were positive and their life satisfaction levels were medium. An insignificant positive correlation was found between the participants' leisure attitudes and the life satisfaction levels. Consequently, the leisure attitudes of the individuals participating in the dance activities were positive; their life satisfaction levels were medium in this study and it can be said that the more their life satisfaction level increases, the more positive their leisure attitudes will become.

In this article, four critical ethnographers reflect on dilemmas that arose during individual research projects. We grappled with the question: What does critical ethnography require from us as we work to represent stories that emerge in contexts where students and/or teachers have been marginalized? After engaging in a three-year process of diffractive analysis, we arrived at the notion of missing stories, as stories that involve messy processes, multifaceted risks and multiple roles in the telling and hearing of people's stories in research.

This article dwells upon the basic unit of cognitive linguistics, which is a concept. Firstly, we provide an overview of major scientific works written by foreign linguists who pay attention to special aspects and lines of research. Secondly, we analyse conclusions on modern problems in linguistics that are drawn in cognitological studies conducted since the end of the 20th century. We also touch upon the course and practice of cognitive linguistics while considering the connection between cognition and language. In order to study a concept, which is a linguo-philosophical unit of linguistics, we examine the associative and semantic field of the concept &quot;woman&quot; in the Kazakh and English cultures. The linguo-philosophical analysis of the macro concept &quot;blue&quot; and its associative and semantic field in the English and Kazakh languages show that its cultural and personal meaning greatly differ. We prove that conceptual borders of any language display purview, knowledge, feelings, world outlook and life position of the respective ethnos and its distinctive members.

The aim of this study was determine the effects of different environment temperatures on motor characteristics and muscle strength. 15 athletes participated to study. Flexibility, vertical jump, hand grip-leg strength, 30m sprint, 20-meter shuttle run and coordination-agility tests were measured in five different environment temperatures. (22°C, 10,5°C, 0°C, -5,5°C ,-11°C). Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine whether the data showed normal distribution. ANOVA was used to compare the data for normal distribution and Kruskal-Wallis-H test was used for showing not normal distribution. Additionally, Tukey test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for meaningful difference. The significance levels were taken as 0.01 and 0.05. Significant changes were found all measured parameters compared to cold environment and Significant differences were found in all motor scores except anaerobic capacity (p &lt;0.05). In all sport activities done in hot environment, higher efficiency is obtained compared to those done in cold environment and therefore, performances of athletes increase depending on the environment temperature.

The paper presents a methodology which helps to avoid a great amount of costly experimental research. This methodology includes thermo-gas dynamic design of an engine and its mounts, the profiling of compressor flow path and cascade design of guide vanes. Employing a method elaborated by Howell, we provide a theoretical solution to the task of assessing the influence of the VGV blades' angle of rotation on the characteristic of a compressor. The finite element model of a VGV blade helps to solve some problems of strength and tune-out of resonance in the domain of a compressor's operating frequencies as well as the problem of determining the position of the pressure center and the location of a blade's pivotal point. Cinematic and dynamic analysis of the control linkage of VGVs is carried out in a MSC.ADAMS package. The investigation is based on geometric 2D and 3D models, gas-dynamic and strength analysis taking into account geometrical nonlinearity and based on the finite element method. The study is also based on the dynamic analysis according to the Euler-Lagrange equation, which describes the behavior of mechanical systems comprised of markers and the Craig-Bampton method implying the theory of superposition of vibrational modes.

The purpose of this study was to prove the mechanism of mineralization, when hydroxyapatite (HAP) is formed in blood plasma. These observations were substantiated by in vitro simulation of HAP crystallization in the plasma of healthy adults in a controllable quasi-physiological environment (T = 37°C, pH = 7.4) and at concentrations of dissolved Ca and P ions that resemble those in the blood of healthy adults. Another objective of the study was to investigate the role of Mg2+, Na+Cl - and serum albumin, the main blood protein, in the formation of calcium phosphate. Mineralized aortic and mitral valves of the heart were obtained in operations on patients with rheumatic or septic acquired valvular disease. Macroscopic and histological analyses of these samples were conducted. Primary nanocrystals of HAP formed in the blood may take part in the mineralization of both cardiac valves and vessels. The penetration of HAP nanocrystals may be caused by breaks in the endothelium of blood vessels. The lowering of pH may result from substantial degradation in the valve tissue. The experimental data make it possible to conclude that albumin and Fetuin-A are structural proteins that are responsible for subsequent incorporation of HAP nanocrystals in newly formed bone tissue.

The article attempts to analyse the interaction between philosophy of education and teaching practice. Such area of learning as &quot;philosophy of education&quot; is defined, genesis and dynamics of practice as universals of human existence are traced; such concepts as &quot;practice,&quot; &quot;teaching practice&quot; are analysed in view of philosophy of education; the role and position of teaching practice as linking system in the theory of knowledge are grounded. The main conclusion of the conducted research is the proof that philosophy of education in its new interpretation is not only theoretical understanding of foundations and manifestations of educational process, but also practice, direct implementation of educational theoretical groundwork in everyday life. Using historical and philosophical analysis, the author showed that philosophy of education implements adopted philosophical (world view) paradigms in various teaching practices.
