В статье рассмотрены культурные коды Океании, ставшие неотъемлемой частью мировой культуры: сёрфинг, превратившийся в стиль жизни для множества людей по всему свету, искусство нанесения татуировок, которое стало набирать популярность в Европе после путешествий Джеймса Кука по Океании в конце XVIII в., «культура тики», вобравшая в себя атрибутику полинезийской экзотики, и др. Приводятся свидетельства участников морских научно-исследовательских экспедиций XVIII—XIX вв., которые наряду с писателями, художниками и учёными стали основными проводниками океанийской культуры в глобальный мир. Анализируется влияние Океании на культуру Европы, Америки и России на рубеже XIX—XX вв., связанное с именами Поля Гогена, Марка Твена, Джека Лондона, Константина Бальмонта. Особое внимание уделяется вкладу в развитие науки, сделанному благодаря зоологическим, антропологическим и этнографическим исследованиям, проведённым на островах российским учёным Н.Н. Миклухо-Маклаем. Показано, как соприкосновение с Океанией привело целый ряд выдающихся личностей к мировой славе. Обосновывается мысль о том, что за последние двести лет культурные коды этих уникальных островов оказали значительное воздействие на философскую мысль, литературу, изобразительное и кинематографическое искусство, а также проявили себя в различных практических сферах, таких как спорт или ресторанное дело., The paper deals with the cultural codes of Oceania which have become an integral part of world culture: surfing as a lifestyle for many people around the world, the art of tattooing, which began to gain popularity in Europe after James Cooks’ trips to Oceania in the late eighteenth century, the “tiki culture” inspired by the attributes of Polynesian exotica, etc. The evidence is presented by the participants of maritime research expeditions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, who, together with writers, artists and scientists introduced the Oceanic culture to the global world. The paper analyses the influence of Oceania on the culture of Europe, America and Russia between the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries associated with the names of Paul Gauguin, Mark Twain, Jack London and Konstantin Balmont. Special attention is given to the contribution to the development of science due to zoological, anthropological and ethnographic studies carried out on the islands by the Russian scientist N.N. Miklouho-Maclay. It is shown how the contact with Oceania led a number of prominent figures to world fame. It is argued that over the last two hundred years the cultural codes of these unique islands have had a significant impact on philosophical thought, literature, visual and cinematic arts, as well as manifested themselves in various practical fields, such as sport or catering.

This article discusses the role of colonial oppression in creating conflicting perspectives in the reproduction of dance as Indigenous cultural heritage. The debate on kahiko, the ancient Hawaiian dance, of which practice was severely controlled and then revived through the cultural renaissance, demonstrates that the radical deprivation of the practice has created multiple understandings of the dance among different practitioners. Of primary importance in these respects is the intergenerational divide within the dance community, manifest in the critical perspective of the post-renaissance variant of kahiko, which highlights the “continuity” of the practice through the colonial rupture.

Background Native Hawaiians have higher hypertension (HTN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates than non-Hispanic whites, calling for culturally responsive interventions to close this gap. Purpose We tested the effects of a 6-month behavioral intervention, a cultural dance program based on hula (the customary dance of Hawai'i), for improving blood pressure (BP) and CVD risk among Native Hawaiians with uncontrolled HTN. Methods In a randomized controlled trial, we tested the effects of the hula-based intervention among 263 Native Hawaiians with uncontrolled HTN (systolic ≥ 140 or ≥ 130 mmHg if diabetes) and no CVD at enrollment. All participants received a brief culturally tailored heart health education before random assignment to the hula-based intervention (n = 131) or the education-only waitlist control (n = 132). Intervention received hula lessons and group-based activities for 6 months. Control received only 1-week education through 6 months. Results Intervention yielded greater reductions in systolic (−15.3 mmHg) and diastolic (−6.4 mmHg) BP than control (−11.8 and −2.6 mmHg, respectively) from baseline to 6 months (p < .05). At 6 months, 43% of intervention participants compared to 21% of controls achieved a HTN stage, Native Hawaiians with hypertension who participated in a cultural dance program show clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk than those who did not participate.

Hula (Hula) means “dance” in Hawaiian and is a traditional Hawaiian singing and dance music. Hula includes dance, performance, chanting, and singing. Ancient Hawaiian culture had no text. For this reason, a chant called Ori, a mele with moderation, and a hula were used as a means of conveying various events. In this study, we made a prototype of software to make hula costume from mele. There are many words in mele, and by selecting the words, you can make your favorite hula costume and hula costume suitable for the situation. In this research, we devised that it is easy to make a hula costume even if you are not a hula expert. We also worked on making it as easy as possible for people who are not good at handling software. In the former, when a word is selected from the mele, the meaning of the word is displayed and so on, making it easier to create costumes suitable for the situation. In the latter case, unnecessary operation of the keyboard is eliminated by using only the mouse operation as much as possible, so that it is easier to see. However, this software can only display two-dimensional still, and it is not possible to view the created costume pattern three-dimensionally, so I would like to improve these improvements in the future.

Marriage is away for humans to developing off spring, there fore important thing is that marriage is regulated by the state, religion and customs. In Batak custom marriageis legal if it is done according toreligionthen the marriageis considered invalid, and peoplewho do marriage like this may not take partin any traditional ceremonies. This reseach is an exploratory study using primer and secondary data, the data collection is done by interviews, questionnaries andobservations the data coollectedis evaluatedqualitativelyand quantitatively so based on theabove datait canbe concluded that the batak toba people in Medan still do traditional marriage such giving “dekke si mudur udur” give to hula- hula. Hula-hula will give good words of blesssingor advise for the bride’s life in the future.

Aims To describe a pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) isolated and associated with game therapy (PFMT + GT) for women facing mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) during climacteric period. Methods To standardize a randomized controlled clinical trial intervention, a protocol was created, in an attempt to decrease women's symptomatology generated by MUI, through pelvic floor and abdomino-loin-pelvic muscles strength, and endurance. This study protocol will be composed of 32 volunteers, divided into two groups of 16. They will perform PFMT isolated or PFMT + GT, twice a week during 8 weeks. Interventions will last 40 minutes and will be divided into warming (5 minutes), training (30 minutes), and 5 minutes will be composed of resting time between exercises (1 minute each). Isolated PFMT sessions will be performed through four modalities of exercises: diaphragmatic, bridge, abdominal (plank), and pelvic mobility. PFMT + GT training will be carried out by using Wii Fit Plus games, such as Lotus Focus, Penguin Slide, Basic Step, and Hula Hoop from Wii equipment. Assessments will occur before, after, and 1 month after interventions. Vaginal manometry, 1-hour Pad Test, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and Patient Global Intervention (PGI) will be used to evaluate the sample. Conclusions It is expected greater increase on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength, endurance, vaginal pressure for PFMT + GG. Moreover, it is supposed that PFMT + GT volunteers present better treatment adherence due to games motivational inclusion.

This book results from an ongoing collaboration between the Benioff Oceania Programme at the British Museum and Dennis Kanaʻe Keawe, a Hawaiian artist and artisan specialised in pahu (drum) making and based in Hilo (Hawaiʻi). Shaped and nutured through the artist’s unique lens, this volume combines a renewed understanding of historical pahu collections at the British Museum with innovative research into pahu making as a living practice. Presenting new and rarely seen photography alongside deep cultural knowledge, and making space for users to become contributors, this book aims to redefine collections stewardship while becoming a resource for those who make, play and care for Hawaiian pahu., London

Lake Hula, the core of one of the most extensive wetland complexes in the Eastern Mediterranean, was drained in 1951–1958. However, about 350 hectares of papyrus marshes were allocated in the southwestern part of the previous lake and became the Hula Nature Reserve status, the first of two wetlands in Israel included in the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. The list of algae and cyanobacteria species of Lake Hula was compiled by us for the first time based on data from publications of 1938–1958, as well as our research in the Hula Nature Reserve, obtained within the framework of the monitoring program for 2007–2013. The list includes 225 species and intraspecies of algae and cyanobacteria belonging to eight phyla. The dynamics of the species richness of algae and cyanobacteria flora for 1938–2013 are shown. Species-bioindicators of water quality have been identified, and the change in their composition by ecological groups for a period of about a hundred years has been shown. Based on the species richness of algae communities, water quality indices were calculated with particular attention to changes in trophic status during the study period. The algae flora of Lake Hula and Hula Nature Reserve was found to be similar, but bioindication has revealed an increase in salinity and organic pollution in recent years.

Wetland management usually involves multiple stakeholders. This paper describes how the use of the ecosystem services (ES) concept can help to identify the main stakeholders associated with wetland conservation, using the Hula Wetland in the Sea of Galilee’s watershed as a case study. We conducted a stakeholder analysis based on semi-structured interviews. We focused on the management of two semi-natural areas within the larger Hula Wetland area (Hula Nature Reserve and Agamon), in which different management regimes are used and which provide different bundles of ES to different stakeholders. Using the ES concept in the stakeholder analysis, we were able to present the Hula Wetland management in a comprehensive manner. The approach also revealed a lack of coordination between the managing organisations which might lead to competition favouring cultural services (in particular tourism) at the expense of habitat services (i.e. biodiversity conservation) in the future. To test our method we also conducted a stakeholder analysis in the Camargue Wetland in France. The two wetlands have similar characteristics but are embedded in different institutional contexts. The Camargue Regional Park has a multi-stakeholder platform which could serve as an example for the Hula Wetland to improve its management and lead to better coordination and complementarity of ES provided by the two sub-sites. Our study showed that applying the ES concept helps to quickly identify relevant stakeholders and analyse wetland management in a more holistic way and to point towards sustainable solutions for conflicting stakeholder interests.

In recent years, 3D computer graphics (3DCG) technology has been applied in various fields such as AR technology, VR technology, movies, games, and virtual fitting of clothes. Among them, there is the problem of contact between clothing and other objects (such as the body). In this paper, we focus on that problem. Since this research is part of the development of CAD for the design of hula costumes, and since we assume that the users of the CAD will have PCs with not very high performance, we took an approach that does not require a large amount of computation. As a representation of the cloth, we used a mass-spring model in which springs and mass points are connected in a grid. We also compared how the three methods of calculating position and velocity, Euler method, FB Euler method, and Runge-Kutta method, affect the simulation results.

Since the mid-1980s, significant changes in climate conditions have occurred, and trends of dryness in the Kinneret drainage basin have been documented, including a temperature increase and precipitation decline. The precipitation decline, and consequently the reduction in river discharge, resulted in a decrease in TP (total phosphorus) flux into Lake Kinneret. After the drainage of the Hula natural wetlands and old Lake Hula during the 1950s, the ecological characteristics of the Hula Valley were modified. Nutrient fluxes downstream into Lake Kinneret were therefore predicted. The impacts of climate conditions (precipitation and discharge) on TP (total phosphorus) outsourcing through erosive action are significant: higher and lower discharge enhances and reduces TP load, respectively. The total TP flushing range from the Hula Valley peat soil through the subterranean medium and where TP is directed are not precisely known but are probably outside Lake Kinneret. Most runoff water and mediated TP originates from bedrock through erosive action. Long-term records of TP concentrations in headwaters and potential resources in the Hula Valley confirmed the significant influence of climate conditions on the outsourcing of TP capacity. The impacts of agricultural development, external fertilizer loads and migratory cranes in the winter are probably insignificant.

The Hula Valley in northern Israel was partly covered by swamps and a shallow lake. The entire valley was drained and converted for agricultural cultivation. Later, an additional soil reclamation operation was implemented, including eco-tourism. From the early 1990s, winter migratory cranes have attracted visitors, thus supporting the hydrological management of the entire valley that protects the downstream Lake Kinneret. It was documented that these birds have a minor impact on phosphorus pollution, but severely damaged agricultural crops are protected by mild deportation and daily, short, periodical corn seed feeding.

Objectives: Recreational physical activities of New Zealand women were examined to develop ethnic‐specific suggestions encouraging physical activity (PA) participation as a targeted approach to reduce obesity rates among different groups. Methods: Healthy Māori, Pacific and European women (n=331; 16–45 years of age) completed an online Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire to assess recreational PA and adherence to PA guidelines. Existing PA preferences were tailored to make ethnic‐specific suggestions aimed at increasing PA participation. Results: Achievement of PA guidelines was: Māori 74%; Pacific 60%; European 70%. Highest participation across all women was for walking (Māori 72%, Pacific 60%, European 83%), followed by floor exercise (Māori 54%, Pacific 37%, European 56%). Gym‐type activities (e.g. weights, aerobics) and jogging were also common across ethnic groups. Group/team activities (dance, netball, touch football) were among the top 10 activities for Māori and Pacific, but not European women. Conclusion: Obesity rates among specific ethnic groups of New Zealand women might be reduced by promoting activities that are: family/whānau‐oriented (netball, touch), community‐linked (hula, dance) and outdoor‐based. Implications for public health: Tailoring existing PA preferences to develop ethnic‐specific sets of activity suggestions could be important avenues to increase PA participation, improving the PA habits and subsequent health of New Zealand women and their communities.

Unstable pelvic ring lesions are usually treated with internal fixation. In patients presenting clinical instability or soft tissue complication risk, external fixation is a safe treatment option. However, pin tract infection, insufficient biomechanical properties, difficulty sitting and changing decubitus are important drawbacks related to the treatment. The present study reports the association of anterior and posterior subcutaneous internal fixation by applying spine-designed implants on the pelvic ring disruption: supra- acetabular pedicle screws with an interconnecting rod (Infix), plus posterior transiliac fixation with the same system, which the authors have named the “Hula Hoop Technique”.

Objective The aim of this study was to calculate the costs and assess whether a culturally grounded physical activity intervention offered through community-based organizations is cost effective in reducing blood pressure among Native Hawaiian adults with hypertension. Methods Six community-based organizations in Hawai‘i completed a randomized controlled trial between 2015 and 2019. Overall, 263 Native Hawaiian adults with uncontrolled hypertension (≥ 140 mmHg systolic, ≥ 90 mmHg diastolic) were randomized to either a 12-month intervention group of hula (traditional Hawaiian dance) lessons and self-regulation classes, or to an education-only waitlist control group. The primary outcome was change in systolic blood pressure collected at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months for the intervention compared with the control group. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated for primary and secondary outcomes. Non-parametric bootstrapping and sensitivity analyses evaluated uncertainty in parameters and outcomes. Results The mean intervention cost was US$361/person, and the 6-month ICER was US$103/mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure and US$95/mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. At 12 months, the intervention group maintained reductions in blood pressure, which exceeded reductions for usual care based on blood pressure outcomes. The change in blood pressure at 12 months resulted in ICERs of US$100/mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure and US$93/mmHg in diastolic blood pressure. Sensitivity analyses suggested that at the estimated intervention cost, the probability that the program would lower systolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg was 67 and 2.5% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Conclusion The 6-month Ola Hou program may be cost effective for low-resource community-based organizations. Maintenance of blood pressure reductions at 6 and 12 months in the intervention group contributed to potential cost effectiveness. Future studies should further evaluate the cost effectiveness of indigenous physical activity programs in similar settings and by modeling lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life-years.

The Hula Valley, a gateway from Syria and Lebanon to the southern Levant, was dominated in the Middle and Late Bronze Ages by the city-state of Hazor. Following the desolation of the latter in the 13th century BCE, it seems that Abel Beth Maacah became the leading polity in the region, showing a remarkable sequence of Iron Age I architecture. We examine this regional power shift using a zooarchaeological sequence from Abel Beth Maacah, which suggests the economic impact of pastoral nomads on the region during the Middle Bronze Age, and a reversion to traditional, extensive agro-pastoralism in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages.

Evidenced by the increase of Rough Motor Capacity in children, seen in the first cycle meeting I on the aspect of strength and balance aspects of the average value reached 2.27 with the criteria Enough, then in cycle II The third meeting reached 4.3 with the criteria Good.

Long-term data sets of headwater river discharges and precipitation record in the northern part of the Kinneret drainage basin were compiled and analyzed. Previous conclusions related the headwaters discharge decline to anthropogenic enhancement of consumption. Wider and deeper search of the regional balances confirmed enhancement of gravitating water loss in the Hula Valley. The Hula Valley soil properties of Field Capacity, Bulk Density and Wilting Point confirm the potential loss of gravitating water during periods of dryness due to Climate change through preferential pathways.

Hula hoops are a popular piece of fitness equipment used to attempt to slim the waistline and improve core muscle endurance. Although there are obvious visible movements at the waist and hip, no study has quantified the intensity of muscle activity during hula hooping. Therefore, this study analyzed muscle activation in the torso and hip during hula hooping. Because injury to the waist often occurs after prolonged, repeated impact between the waist and a hula hoop, this study developed a novel waist fitness hoop that eliminates impact, called the “Mini Hoop,” and determined the effects of mini hooping on hip movement and muscle activation. A total of 16 healthy females performed hula hooping and mini hooping at a self-selected pace. Results showed that hula hooping caused larger muscle activation, with 46%–49% maximum voluntary isometric contraction for the external oblique, spinal erectors, and gluteus medius, whereas gluteus maximus and adductor longus muscle activation were with 22%–29% maximum voluntary isometric contraction. Mini hooping required a smaller range of hip motion in flexion, extension, abduction/adduction, higher pelvic oscillation frequency, and lower muscle activation for the external oblique, spinal erectors, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and adductor longus (13%–33% maximum voluntary isometric contraction) compared with hula hooping ( p < 0.05). In conclusion, hula hooping and mini hooping differ in their range of hip motion, pelvic oscillation frequency, and muscle activation requirements. Hula hooping is suitable for moderate-intensity core muscle activation, whereas the Mini Hoop is suitable for low-level core muscle activation.

Potassium dynamics of soils is constituted by constantly changing relationship between soil K forms, and this relation is affected by some soil physical and chemical properties. Most Sidama (south Ethiopia) farmers grow enset crops which have high K requirements. The soils were collected from Awassa-Zuriya and Dale districts; ’Woinadega’ (warm subtropical climate) and Hula district ‘Dega’ (wet, cool temperate climate). Overview of K dynamics in soils via Quantity-Intensity (Q/I) curves was used to evaluate the dynamics of K in fifteen soil samples representing the enset farming systems of Sidama. All of the Hula district soils and half of the Dale district soils had low percent K saturation. There were significant correlations between some soil properties and Q/I parameters and among equilibrium solution parameters and Q/I parameters. Variations among the mean quantity (±âˆ†K) values of the soils were not significant. The Dale and Hula district soils had higher K intensity than the Awassa-Zuriya district soils; where the Hula (Adola kura kebele) soil had the highest value. Therefore, the Dale and Hula district soils will require frequent and split K applications since they have lower capacity to maintain long-term supply of K. On the other hand, Awassa-Zuriya district soils had high K quantity than the Dale and Hula district soils. This shows that the Awassa-Zuriya district soils have a higher potential to supply K for a longer period of time from the exchangeable pool. However, the Awassa-Zuriya district soils require less frequent and higher K fertilization to saturate the exchangeable pool to meet immediate potassium requirement of crops. The low equilibrium activity ratio of potassium and low potassium replenishing capacity of nearly all of the soils studied also indicated the need for K application. Key words: Dynamics of potassium, potential buffering capacity, activity ratio, quantity-intensity isotherms, potassium saturation.
