Fasilitas Persemayaman dan Kolumbarium di Surabaya

Fasilitas Persemayaman di Surabaya" ialah fasilitas umum yang berfungsi sebagai tempat untuk menyemayamkan jenazah orang yang sudah meninggal sebelum menuju tempat peristirahatan mereka yang terakhir, baik di makamkan ataupun dibakar. Fasilitas yang disediakan ialah ruang persemayaman yang disewakan, ruang memorial di kolombarium, ruang ritel untuk yang menjual alat-alat untuk upacara persemayaman termasuk bunga segar dan bunga kering, serta kantin. Pendekatan perancangan yang dipilih adalah pendekatan filosofis dari makna kematian seseroang yang tetap diingat. Seperti yang dikatakan Dr. Sam Vaknin yang membahas bagaimana eksistensi orang yang meninggal masih ada selama mereka diingat oleh orang lain. Mengenang mereka yang meninggal yang kita kasihi merupakan sebuah memori yang dapat selalu dikekang. Oleh sebab itu konsep perancangan yang dpakai adalah "memory". Aplikasi Konsep memori yang dipilih mempengaruhi proses penataan massa, zoning dan bentuk yang didesain. Memori diwujudkan dalam bentuk sebuah perjalanan yang merupakan axis dari tapak, yang dimulai dari pintu masuk sampai ke temapt memory yang abadi yaitu kolombarium. Axis ini merupakan tanggapan desain tapak terhadap potensi tapak yang berada di ujung perempatan jalan. Untuk memberikan penekanan pada alur perjalanan memori, maka pendalaman perancangan yang dipilih adalah "sequence", di mana karakter setiap titik mulai dari pintu masuk menuju ke tempat persemayaman, dan ke kolombarium merupakan sebuah ruang yang mampu memberikan kesempatan pengguna untuk mengenang sebuah "memor

A Deep Structure Connection: Child Labor And The World Trade Organization

I would like to begin my remarks by making two utterly contradictory statements with regard to the relationship, as I see it, between the global phenomenon of child labor, and the World Trade Organization (WTO)

Phoenix rising: new models for the research monograph?

There is significant evidence that traditional university presses are continuing to face financial crises. Outlets for research monographs are drying up, print runs are being reduced and monograph costs are increasing. The combination of the digital networked environment and open-archive initiatives may, however, provide the opportunity, through institutional repositories, to rethink the role and nature of the distribution of research monographs in a university setting. The adoption of new models, untrammellled by the structures of the past, while still retaining editorial and refereeing standards, could revolutionize the access and distribution patterns of research knowledge within university frameworks. Ultimate success will depend, however on programmes of scholarly advocacy in scholarly communication with the academic author as both creator and as consumer

Creating an intellectual commons through open access

Open-access (OA) literature is online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The low-hanging fruit for OA is literature that authors consent to distribute without payment, or for which they are paid salaries by their employers rather than royalties by their publishers. This relatively small but very important category of literature includes peer-reviewed journal articles and their preprints, the primary literature of science. In this paper I discuss the peculiarities of royalty-free literature, the conditions that lead authors to consent to OA (including authors of loyalty-producing literature), and some obstacles to an OA commons that have the flavor of a tragedy of the commons

Change 2.0

An introduction to the journal is presented in which the author discusses the definition and effects of change, a column by John Lubans on the change that occurs at the close of a professional career, and the value and effectiveness of libraries in an era of increased access to information through the Internet

Review on Electro-Gravity Via Geometric Chronon Field

In 1982, Dr. Sam Vaknin pondered the idea of reconstructing physics based on time as a field. His idea appeared in his doctorate dissertation as an amendment to the Dirac spinor equation. Sam saw the Quantum Field Theory particles and momentum and energy as a result of the language of physics and of the way the human mind perceives reality and not as reality. To the author's opinion, it is a revolution of the language itself and is not a new interpretation of the existing language. The Special Theory of Relativity was a revolution and so was the General Theory of Relativity but yet these theories did not challenge the use of momentum and energy but rather gave them new relativistic interpretation. Later on, Quantum Mechanics used Energy and Momentum operators and even Dirac's orthogonal matrices are multiplied by such operators. Quantum Field Theory assumes the existence of particles which are very intuitive and agree with the human visual system. Particles may be merely a human interpretation of events that occur in the human sensory world. This paper elaborates on one specific interpretation of Sam Vaknin's idea that the author has developed from 2003 up to August 2018. It is a major improvement of previously published papers and it summarizes all of them and includes all the appendices along with new ideas.Comment: This paper corrects (35),and appendix B in an IARD 2016 paper. It adds an exact assessment of mass ratios of particles (43),(43.12),(43.7.1),(43.8), possibly exact Fine Structure Constant^-1 in (43.17.2

Artificial Identity: Representations of Robots and Cyborgs in Contemporary Anglo-American Science Fiction Films

The ‘human condition’ has traditionally been an area of study addressed primarily by philosophers concerned with the mind/body problem, rather than studied as a neuroscientific conundrum. However, contemporary developments in science and technology that afford us a greater knowledge of the human brain have resulted in an increased scientific focus on consciousness, emotion and personhood. This thesis argues that such explorations into consciousness and emotion as prerequisites of ‘artificial identity’ have entered the domain of contemporary cinema through the representations of robots and cyborgs. Despite the capacity for transhumanist practice and the creation of artificially intelligent automata that these developments have made possible, blurring the line between organic human and mechanical robots, it remains common for no distinctions to be made between the terms ‘human’ and ‘person’, which are used interchangeably to describe a member of the human race. Philosopher Daniel C. Dennett, though, has proposed a series of criteria for personhood that challenge the assumption that only humans can be considered persons. The application of his criteria to a series of key texts that highlight the relationships between humans and representations of automata - I, Robot (2004, Dir. Alex Proyas), Terminator Salvation (2009, Dir. McG) and Bicentennial Man (1999, Dir. Chris Columbus) – is central to this thesis. It explores the extent to which the representations of robots and cyborgs can be considered persons within utopian and dystopian narratives that have, at their core, a view of artificial identity as desirable or as nightmare. In conjunction with Dennett, the theories of neurologist and neuroscientist Antonio Damasio are applied, which explore both the biological means by which emotional (rather than solely physical) feelings are generated in humans, and the capacity of humans to simulate emotion. As Damasio argues that many of the central operations of the human central nervous and visceral systems are reducible to fundamental physics, the suggestion is that robots, too, could also ‘experience’ consciousness and emotion, being as they are very simplistic versions of humans. As such, the application of these theories suggests that the representations of robots and cyborgs in the key texts could be considered persons

Spam and Beyond: Freedom, Efficiency, and the Regulation of E-mail Advertising, 22 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 141 (2003)

Traditional forms of mailing advertisers bear the full cost of delivering advertisements to consumers. However, this is not true in the form of all e-mail advertisement, spam or not. E-mail users subsidize part of any e-mail advertisement, thereby splitting costs between advertiser and the consumer who receives the e-mail advertisement. This article takes the position that the subsidization that occurs in e-mail advertisement should be eliminated because it unjustifiably violates individual freedom. The article discusses why the delivery charges between sender and recipient are divided, why such cost-division violates freedom, and whether the violation is justified. The article also defines spam and discusses why the sending of spam unjustifiably violates freedom. A statute is proposed to redress that situation. Non-spam advertisement is discussed, also with the stance that non-spam advertisement is also unjustifiably violates freedom and a second statute is suggested to remedy the situation. Finally, the article concludes with the question of how approaches to spam ought to be applied to non-advertising e-mail
