VOCAL MUSIC OF ISRAEL AND ARABIA

A. Israeli Music
Israeli singers have distinctive vocal style. They sing with guttural and throaty enunciation.

Two Divisions of Jewish Music

1. Devotional https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK-aXgSMj90
 almost entirely vocal
 featured during Sabbath and other holy days
 the art of Hazan (leader of prayer in synagogue) has always been evident in the culture
 shofar is a special call to prayer and repentance; it is sounded on the High Holidays (the Jewish New
Year and Day of Atonement)

2. Secular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeMhQBdkNQc
 instruments and voice are used
 played during life passage events
 context lies outside the religious domain
 very rhythmic and have popular and romantic texts

B. Arabic Music
Arabic Maqam is distinctively unique to Arabian music because of its technique of improvisation.
It is the system of melodic modes used in traditional Arab music.

Arabian rhythmic pattern or cycle is analyzed by means of rhythmic units.

1. Wazn - literally means “measure”  performed on the goblet
drum, frame drum and kettle drum  only used in musical genres
with a fixed rhythmic-temporal organization including recurring
measures, motifs and pulse
2. Iqa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySoEE4FhBOA
 the rhythmic pattern in Arabian music
 reputed to be over 100 iqa, but many of them have fallen out of fashion and are rarely used in
performance
 the greatest varieties of iqa (or iqa’at as pronounced) range from two to 48 beats
 are used in the muwashahat (an Andalusian musical form) where every syllable of the lyric must
fall on a beat.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OF
ISRAEL
The lute such as the
Philippine bandurria and Laud
traces its origins from the
Middle Eastern Oud and
Indian sitar. Goblet drum,
darbuk, the tambourine and
other instruments associated
with Middle Eastern music are
used as accompaniment.
One of the dances where accompaniment is used is Hora, a dance that often has strong off beats and
asymmetric meters.
ARTS
ARTS of CENTRAL ASIA
Arts of Uzbekistan
Making printed cloth was very popular among the peoples who inhabited the region of
present Uzbekistan. Printed table-cloths, curtains, bed-spreads, shawls, high-quality cloth for
women's garments, various coverlets (including horse-cloth), and even funeral cerements and
other piece and metrical printed articles performed a utilitarian function and served as a daily-
round ornament.
Uzbekistan ceramic art through many centuries was the most developed craft in this
region. The most famous Uzbekistan ceramic articles are made in Rishtan. It is renowned for the
blue glaze Ishkor. Rishtan ceramics is mostly decorated with herbal elements as well as images
of kumgans, birds, fishes, elements of architectural adornments.

Arts of Kazakhstan
The Kazakhs were traditionally pastoral nomads, dwelling
year-round in portable, dome-shaped tents (called gers, or yurts) constructed of dismountable
wooden frames covered with felt.
The harsh conditions of a nomadic life forced
people to produce all necessities on their own. Kazakh
folk craft tradition was thereby borne out of that
necessity, with items meeting the needs of the people and
rarely being used for trade. Amongst nomadic tribes, the
type of handicraft work was delegated by gender: men
were engaged in the processing of wood, metal, leather,
and other types of industries that require strength and were
traditionally associated with male activities; women worked in areas where perseverance and
hard work were needed—making and processing felt or wool and various types of weaving and
embroidery.

With Kazakhstan’s incorporation into the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 19th
century, the development of trade led to a decline in the role of folk crafts. Today, handicrafts are
a reflection of the rich nomadic culture of Kazakhstan, and handicrafts mainly serve as gifts and
souvenirs.

Arts of Tajikistan
Tajiks are a very ancient nation. Hence, the culture of
this people is rather unique and originates somewhere in
extreme antiquity. Tajiks have managed to preserve the
traditions and customs of people
From times immemorial Tajiks have been famous for
creations of national craftsmen. These skillful hands have
been making fabrics, utensils, musical instruments, carpets,
furniture, jewelry and many other things for many centuries
using only natural ecologically pure raw materials.
The art of decorative carving is very important for the local residents. It decorates the
monuments of architecture, household objects, musical instruments, utensils, doors, frames,
souvenirs and so forth. This is one of the most ancient and widespread crafts in Tajikistan.
There are woodcarving (utensils, furniture), stone carving and ganchu (architectural
monuments, houses, interior decoration).
 Long time ago images of people and animals were widely used in carving. After Islam had
been introduced they gradually disappeared to be replaced by numerous Arabian inscriptions.
Some carvers prefer "vegetative", geometrical patterns. Household objects are normally decorated
with onychoid four-leaf carving made on red-black painting. In architecture the ornamentation
in the form of lotus, tulips and other flowers is more characteristic.

Arts of Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan culture is slightly different from the
cultural traditions of the neighboring Muslim states of Central
Asia. The reason to this is that the ancestors of the Turkmen
were nomadic tribes whereas the lands of modern Tajikistan
and Uzbekistan were populated by settled tribes of farmers.
The traditional arts of Turkmen include felt
manufacture, jewelry making, woodwork, ceramics, and
silverwork, but the two crafts in which Turkmen excel are silk manufacture and carpet making.

Turkmenistan produces some of the most unique and beautiful carpets in the world.
Carpet weaving is an ancient art, and each tribe developed its own distinctive pattern. Turkmen
carpets have been traditionally woven out of wool, cotton, and silk by women, using horizontal
looms. The method of weaving has been modernized, but the beauty and quality of the fabrics
remains.
Turkmenistan is also the source of ketene, a homespun silk that is used for the beautiful
dresses worn by Turkmen women on special occasions. The embroidery uses different patterns
that are as unique as a family seal, identifying the tribe of its artist.

HEALTH
Analyzing the Nature of Emerging and Re-emerging Diseases

EMERGING AND RE-EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASE PROGRAM

In the recent past, the Philippines has seen many outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases and it
continues to be susceptible to the threat of re-emerging infections such as leptospirosis, dengue,
meningococcemia, tuberculosis among. The current situation emphasizes the risks and highlights the need
to improve preparedness at local, national and international levels for against future pandemics. New
pathogens will continue to emerge and spread across regions and will challenge public health as never
before signifying grim repercussions and health burden. These may cause countless morbidities and
mortalities, disrupting trade and negatively affect the economy.

There are several social determinants contributing to the emergence of novel infectious diseases and
resurgence of controlled or eradicated infectious diseases in our country. These contributing factors are
namely: (1) Demographic factors like the population distribution and density, (2) international travel/ tourism
and increased OFWs, (3) Socio-economic factors and (4) Environmental factors. The latter includes our
country’s vulnerability to disasters, increased livestock production, man- made ecological changes or
industries and lastly the urbanization which encroach and destroy the animal habitats.

The Emerging diseases are diseases that are newly discovered, while the re-emerging are diseases that
have been eradicated in the past but recurring in the present.
Leptospirosis is caused by the bacteria of the genus leptospira it is spread through ingestion of body
waste of rodents and rats.
Severe Acute Respiratory syndrome (SARS) is highly contagious viral illness that attacks the respiratory
tract of the patient.
Chikungunya is transmitted to humans through mosquitos similar to dengue fever
Meningococcemia is caused by bacteria, which may infect the brain and the spinal
cord and lead to the development of meningitis.
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease usually infects children below five years old, but may also occur in adults.
It is a viral illness that is highly contagious.
Avian Influenza is caused by the infection with bird flu type a virus.
AH1N1 is a human respiratory infection caused by specific influenza virus H1N1 strain.
Zika Virus Infection is caused by a Zika virus and is transmitted to people by Aedes mosquitos.

Demonstrating Self-Monitoring Skills to Prevent and Control Communicable Diseases

Self-monitoring is very important in order to be protected and in maintaining ourselves from being
healthy at all times.
A communicable disease is one that is spread from one person to another through a variety of ways
that include: contact with blood and bodily fluids; breathing in an airborne virus; or by being bitten by an
insect.
It is very important for everyone to be healthy at all times to stay away and be protected from the
harmful viruses and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
In Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the physiological needs includes the basic needs for the survival of his
body which food, clothing, air, shelter, and the homeostatic processes such as excretion, safety needs,
love/belonging, self-esteem, self-actualization, and self-monitoring which is the process of observing one’s
behavior and evaluating it in relation to one’s goal.

Activities are done to prevent one from having the disease. This includes getting immunized, eating a
healthy diet, taking regular exercise and getting enough sleep.

Three Levels of Preventing the Communicable Diseases

Primary Prevention is activities done to prevent one from having the disease. This includes getting
immunized, eating a healthy diet, taking regular exercise and getting enough sleep.

Secondary Prevention is activities done to prevent further damages when the disease has already
started. This includes prompt diagnosis, screening for high blood pressure and breast self-examination.

Tertiary Prevention is an activity that focuses on rehabilitating the sick person so as to prevent long term
complications of the disease. At this level health services workers can work to retrain, re-educate and
rehabilitate people who have already developed an impairment or disability.
