There is no distinction known to men among states of existence of a body which can give reason for any one state being regarded as a state of absolute rest in space, and any other being regarded as a state of uniform rectilinear motion. Men have no means of knowing, nor even of imagining, any one length rather than any other, as being the distance between the place occupied by the centre of a ball at present, and the place that was occupied by that centre at any past instant; nor of knowing or imagining any one direction, rather than any other, as being the direction of the straight line from the former place to the new place, if the ball is supposed to have been moving in space. The point of space that was occupied by the centre of the ball at any specifiod past moment is utterly lost to us as soon as that moment is past, or as soon as the centre has moved out of that point, having left no trace recognisable by us of its past place in the universe of space.

The article defines the principal artistic conflict in S. Dovlatov’s works as an irreconcilable contradiction between the ugly truth of reality and the embellished lies of Soviet ideological appearances, imposing themselves as a substitute for that particular reality. However, a third element in this universe is a recurrent type of protagonist who remains consistent in all of Dovlatov’s works. His situation, fate and personality are defined by his sticking to ‘a third way.’ It is from this viewpoint alone that one can observe the workings of the law of absurdity that rules the universe. According to the author, the popularity of Dovlatov’s books lies in their mainstream protagonist. Devoid of individual traits, Dovlatov’s hero is easy for any reader to identify with psychologically; and not because of many similarities, but due to very few differences. All in all, the article attempts to describe S. Dovlatov’s artistic world as a system that represents an organic unity of the writer’s creative principles and his deeply dramatic worldview.

<p>This article will briefly discuss the problems of postmodern theology in the context of the relationship between God and nature. In this case, the author brings the conception of theistic naturalism in the view of classical theology of Islam. Theological conception of postmodernism (theistic naturalism) can be useful contributions to the refreshment of Islamic theology, particularly in the case <em>a</em><em>f</em><em>‘</em><em>â</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>al</em><em>-</em><em>‘</em><em>ibâd</em> and its derivation. The concept of direct influence and indirect influence may help explain the intervention of God toward human beings without denying the law of causality, as the law that becomes standard of modern science. Nevertheless there are some things that need to be considered in this concept: <em>Firstly</em>, God is only the spirit of the universe, God has entrusted His power to the nature, and all the events occurred due to the co-creativity of God and nature. <em>Secondly</em>, God has no a direct influence on the external dimension, rather He is merely a Spirit of things who has influence on inner dimension.</p>

The contrast between the attitude towards violence of the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament was already explored by Marcion (d. c. 160 ad) before the advent of Islam and has been rediscovered again and again since.1 Marcion saw the former as the creator of the world and God of the law and the latter as the good God, the God of love.2 The character of the former reflects a community’s need for sanctified social norms, while the character of the latter shows the community’s and the individual’s longing for the hope of salvation.3 The God of the Qurʾān is also one of punishment and pardon. This chapter investigates the former aspect and focuses on: (1) the appearance of evil and violence in the universe as described in the Qurʾān; (2) the philosophical-theological questions revealed by this myth; and (3) its social implications.

Many applications require design of a linkage that executes a rectilinear motion. In this study a synthesis procedure for six-bar mechanism for generation of rectilinear motion is presented. To achieve this goal, matrix algebra is used to describe translation, rotation, and inversion of motion of links. These concepts then are used to implement the classical three-precision point synthesize of a four-bar mechanism with a coupler point that traces a straight line. The motion of this four-bar mechanism is inverted and then is used to synthesize a second four-bar mechanism. The merging of these two four-bar mechanisms forms a six-bar mechanism such that the motion of one link is rectilinear motion. To implement this procedure, a graphical user interface is developed for the ease of exploring the design space. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by designing a linkage for a lift-truck.

It is a well known fact that the (simple) Engineers’ Theory of Bending is based on the assumption of the Law of Proportionality, that is to say that the stress-strain characteristic of the material concerned is a straight line, and it accordingly follows that stress values determined by the formulæ: , for the stress at any station on the section, and M/Z for the maximum fibre stress can be correct only when the M/Z value lies within the limit of proportionality of the material.

Article 30 of the 1945 Constitution is the basis for the formulation and drafting of Law No.3 / 2002 on national defense. In article 30, it is stipulated that national defense and security efforts are carried out through the system of defense and security of the total people by the Indonesian National Army and the Indonesian National Police, as the main force, and the people, as the supporting force. This system of defense and security for the people of the universe is then manifested in Law No.20 / 1982 concerning the main provisions of national defense. However, when the TAP MPR Number VI and Number VII was issued regarding the Separation of the Police from ABRI. The government is drafting a new Defense Law that is aligned to separate Defense and security that is adaptive to these changes. The defense is compiled and formulated and then translated into Law no. 3/2002, however, the Law on Security was not immediately realized, instead Law No.2 / 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police. Until now, the Law on Security does not exist and has not been materialized. As a result, there is a gap between legislation in the defense sector and legislation in the security sector. Some of the mandates of Law No.3 / 2002 can then be translated into Laws, Government Regulations, Presidential decrees instead other legislation products to support national defense.  The lack of this security aspect of course affects the defense and security system which was previously manifested as a comprehensive unit which is of course adjusted to the history of the nation itself. In addition to defense duties which are military in nature, there are tasks in the field of military Nir which all fall into the category of security aspects. As long as there are no regulations governing Security, the Defense and Security System mandated in the 1945 constitution will never materialize.    


A sphere, whose radius changes in time, moves with non-uniform speed along a straight line through an inviscid compressible fluid. The acoustic velocity potential is determined asymptotically when the characteristic speed U 0 of the sphere is small compared with the mean sound speed c 0 in the fluid. It is assumed that both the sphere radius and the translational speed vary slowly, with appreciable change on a time scale t 0 = a 0 / U 0 , where a 0 is a characteristic radius; furthermore, the sphere is assumed to be compact, in the sense that the ratio between its radius and a typical wavelength is small. The sound field is expressed by means of moving source and dipole potentials in a fashion that appears simpler and more general than previously given.

ABSTRAKAnak yang telah mumayiz diberikan kebebasan memilih tinggal bersama ibu atau ayahnya. Kesempatan untuk memilih harus dinyatakan secara eksplisit dalam putusan untuk menghindari konflik di kemudian hari antara kedua orang tuanya. Berbeda dalam Putusan Nomor 175/PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA yang tidak langsung menetapkan anak yang telah mumayiz diasuh oleh ibu atau ayahnya. Hal ini dikhawatirkan akan menimbulkan persoalan hukum di kemudian hari demi memperebutkan anak tersebut. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana aspek kepastian hukum terhadap pemeliharaan anak mumayiz dalam Putusan Nomor 175/PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA, dan bagaimana perlindungan hukum bagi anak mumayiz yang belum menentukan pilihannya? Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian empiris dan datanya diperoleh melalui wawancara hakim dan putusan Mahkamah Syar’iyah Banda Aceh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Putusan Nomor 175/PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA tidak mencerminkan kepastian hukum bagi anak yang telah mumayiz. Hal ini dikarenakan anak yang berumur 14 dan 18 tahun tidak jelas berada di bawah pengasuhan ibu atau ayahnya. Perlindungan hukum bagi anak mumayiz yang belum menentukan sikap/pilihan menjadi kewajiban bersama kedua orang tua untuk mengasuh dan memeliharanya. Jika anak sudah menentukan pilihan dan memilih ibu sebagai pengasuhnya, maka ia wajib memelihara dan mengasuhnya hingga dewasa dan ayah berkewajiban memberikan nafkah kepadanya. Sebaliknya, jika ayah menjadi pilihannya, kewajiban mengasuh, merawat, dan menafkahi menjadi kewajibannya.Kata kunci: kepastian hukum, pengasuhan, perceraian, anak mumayiz. ABSTRACTA Minor who has been mumayiz is given freedom to choose to live either with the mother or father. The decision should be explicitly stated in court decision to avoid future conflicts between the parents. In contrast, Court Decision Number 175/PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA did not in a straight line determine the status of a minor who has been mumayiz to be raised by either the mother or father. This could lead to legal dispute of fighting over the minor in the future. The question is how the legal certainty in the custody of minors with mumayyiz status in Court Decision Number 175/PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA and how the law provide protection for them who have not made their choice yet? This study is done by empirical research and the data collected through interviews of judges and the ruling of Syar’iyah Court of Banda Aceh. The results show that the Court Decision Number 175/ PDT.G/2011/MS-BNA does not reflect legal certainty for the minors with the status of mumayiz. This is because the law does not set off that minors aged of 14 and 18 are in care of their mother or father. While the law has set for minors who have not mumayiz because of the existence of parenting to the mother has been confirmed in the verdict. Legal protection for undecided custody of mumayiz minors will be obliged to their both parents to nurture and raise. If the child has made a choice and chooses the mother as the caregiver, then she is obliged to care and nurture the child to adulthood, and the father is obliged to provide a livelihood for the child. On the other hand, if the father becomes the child’s choice, the obligation to care, nurture, and provide a livelihood becomes his duty.Keywords: legal certainty, custody, divorce, mumayiz minors.

This chapter delves into the important issues of substantial unity and the foundations of knowledge. It argues that the views of Bernard Lonergan and Charles Sanders Peirce concerning world process are strikingly similar. Both outline an evolutionary cosmology that pays attention to both the law-like and the chance elements required to think of the universe as developing. Both reject the notion that the universe is mechanistically determined even if it is ordered. Both look upon “chance” as an objective component of the universe, not merely as a cloak for ignorance. The remarkable convergence of ideas of two thinkers separated by almost a century not only illuminates their place in intellectual history but, more importantly, adds an extrinsic confirmation of a cosmological view that takes motion and change seriously.
