Abstract: “Klenteng” is an Indonesian term for place of worship for Chinese traditional faiths in Indonesia. Sam Poo Kong temple is a heritage building located in Semarang. Chinese temple building is part of the China building architecture, thus Chinese temple apply the feng shui principals, so that people get the fortune, peace, and prosperity from the perfect balance with nature. In this research, to be conducted a review of the use of feng shui principles contained in the layout of the building mass. The research question that arises is "How the application of feng shui to the layout of the building mass in the Sam Poo Kong temple?" This research aims to determine the influence of feng shui contained in the layout of the building mass Sam Poo Kong temple in Semarang. This research use structuralizes qualitative methodology. Analysis process was done by comparing the theory of feng shui with field observations. The building layout, planes, and the filler elements apply the principles of feng shui and it has a good meaning, leads to happiness and welfare in life. Cultural influence of Islam, Buddhist, Hindu, and Chinese cultures convey the meaning and message to the user of the building, all for good purpose in human life. Based on the analysis it can be concluded that the meaning of the layout of the building mass on the Sam Poo Kong temple in accordance with feng shui theory and it brings prosperity.Keywords: feng shui, Sam Poo Kong Temple, the layout of the building massAbstrak: Kelenteng atau Klenteng adalah sebutan untuk tempat ibadah penganut kepercayaan tradisional Tionghoa di Indonesia pada umumnya. Kelenteng Sam Poo Kong merupakan bangunan cagar budaya yang terdapat di kota Semarang. Bangunan kelenteng termasuk dalam bangunan Cina, sehingga dalam tatanan bentuk bangunannya masih mempergunakan kaidah feng shui. Konsep feng shui adalah seni hidup dalam keharmonisan dengan alam, sehingga seseorang mendapatkan keuntungan, ketenangan, dan kemakmuran dari keseimbangan yang sempurna dengan alam. Dalam penelitian ini, akan dilakukan peninjauan penggunaan kaidah feng shui yang terdapat pada tata letak massa bangunannya. Pertanyaan penelitian yang muncul adalah “Bagaimana penerapan fengshui pada tata letak massa bangunan di kawasan Kelenteng Sam Poo Kong?” Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh feng shui yang terdapat pada tata letak massa bangunan Kelenteng Sam Poo Kong di Semarang. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah strukturalis kualitatif. Proses analisis dilakukan dengan membandingkan teori feng shui dengan hasil observasi lapangan. Tata letak massa bangunan menerapkan kaidah feng shui serta memiliki makna yang baik, mengarahkan pada kebahagiaan serta keselamatan dalam kehidupan. Pengaruh budaya Islam, Buddha, Hindu, serta Kebudayaan Cina telah bercampur, menyampaikan makna serta pesan kepada pengguna bangunan, semua untuk tujuan kebaikan dalam hidup manusia. Berdasarkan hasil analisis maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa tata letak massa bangunan pada kawasan Kelenteng Sam Poo Kong sesuai dengan feng shui aliran bentuk dan mendatangkan kebaikan.Kata Kunci: feng shui, Kelenteng Sam Poo Kong, tata letak massa bangunan

Abstract The article discusses a project that features the relocation of the historic Atelier building, built by Krakow-based architect Wandalin Beringer (1839–1923) who was active in the early twentieth century, and the regeneration of a plot belonging to the Congregation of the Resurrection since 1885, which is located at 12 Łobzowska Street in Krakow. The method includes cutting the entire structure off at the foundation and then after reinforcing it with a steel structure transporting it in its entirety to the new location. The project included two possible variants of moving the building in a straight line, either by 21 or 59 metres and evaluates two projects of further regeneration, the adaptive reuse of the building as an exhibition and religious space as well as a proposal for the remodelling of the nearby plot that belongs to the Congregation into a space for meditation and as a recreational park. The aim of these measures is to prevent the demolition of this building, now over a century old, as a result of which a forgotten element of the cultural heritage of the city will be saved. This project was based on the results of analyses of the cultural and historical conditions of Krakow. The block of buildings in which the Atelier in question is located is a very attractive location, near to the very centre of Krakow, adjacent to residential, service and educational buildings. It is directly adjacent to the Monastery Complex of the Congregation of the Resurrection, listed as a heritage building under conservation protection (municipal registry of heritage buildings). In the second half of the twentieth century, the building was used as a workroom by artists such as Xawery Dunikowski and later by the sculptress Teodora Stasiak. The case of the Atelier may provide an inspiration for discussion as well as raising awareness among citizens and city authorities to avoid future situations in which cultural heritage may become forgotten or demolished.

Available Resources

In all spheres business experts try to raise competitiveness of the company by different ways, for instance at the expense of more efficient redistribution of available resources (costs). Objectives connected with modeling and optimizing resources used in advertising are becoming the most topical. Deeper knowledge in planning and conducting any marketing and advertising campaigns are in demand today among many specialists. The process of searching for and finding optimum costs of advertising in the Internet as a factor of the rise in the company sustainability can be successfully shaped through universal matrix methods of solution (e.g. simplex-method). Objectives which cannot be resolved by this method can be supplemented by such economic indicators, as profitability of investment and return on one ruble. The article summarizes the instrumental base dealing with estimating the efficiency of events connected with customer attraction to such a fast growing industry as internet-services. The author proposes besides traditional ways of expense optimization to take into account economic indicators connected with profitability of each sale channel. The following tools were used in the research: modeling, induction method, investment analysis, methods of statistics and formal logics, multi-criteria optimization, specific software meant for solving similar tasks, in particular special macros for excel table.

AbstractOver the last decades, algorithms have been developed for checking copositivity of a matrix. Methods are based on several principles, such as spatial branch and bound, transformation to Mixed Integer Programming, implicit enumeration of KKT points or face-based search. Our research question focuses on exploiting the mathematical properties of the relative interior minima of the standard quadratic program (StQP) and monotonicity. We derive several theoretical properties related to convexity and monotonicity of the standard quadratic function over faces of the standard simplex. We illustrate with numerical instances up to 28 dimensions the use of monotonicity in face-based algorithms. The question is what traversal through the face graph of the standard simplex is more appropriate for which matrix instance; top down or bottom up approaches. This depends on the level of the face graph where the minimum of StQP can be found, which is related to the density of the so-called convexity graph.
