The Norwegian National Day (17 May, also referred to as Constitution Day) stands out as one of the most popular National Day celebrations in Europe. According to surveys, around seven out of every 10 Norwegians take part in a public celebration during this day. This means that the National Day potentially has an impact on the way people reflect upon national identity and its relationship to the Lutheran heritage. In this paper, I will focus on the role religion plays in the Norwegian National Day rituals. Researchers have described these rituals as both containing a significant religious element and being rather secularized. In this article, I discuss the extent to which the theoretical concepts civil religion and religious nationalism can help us understand the role of religion, or the absence of religion, in these rituals. Based on surveys of the general population, I analyze both indicators of civil religion and religious nationalism. The two phenomena are compared by looking at their relation to such items as patriotism, chauvinism, and xenophobia. The results show that civil religion explains participation in the National Day rituals better than religious nationalism.

The Kemtek 1000 Sample Processor has been evaluated for precision, accuracy, speed and reliability. Precision was better than 1.0% at all volumes tested and accuracy within ±5%. A l00-tube assay could be set up within 15 min when patient specimens plus two reagents were sampled using a two probe system. Carry-over could be reduced to <0.01% by using a sufficient number of wash steps, the latter being related to the assay requirements. Evidence was found for adsorption of protein to the probe tubing but inaccuracies due to this could be reduced by introducing wash steps between samples. Problems over 12 months have been minor and quickly resolved. The authors were pleased with the way the processor performed and their staffhave confidence in leaving it to set up their assays.

While Archaeology started to take form as a professional discipline, Alternative Archaeologies grew in several ways. As the years went by, the image of Archaeology started being corrupted by misconceptions and a lot of imagination, and those professionals that were claiming to be scientists forgot one of their first responsibilities; the public. This lack of interest is one of the reasons why today, a vast majority of society believes in many clichés of the past that alternative archaeologists have used to build a fictitious History that is not innocent at all. From UFOs and the mysteries of great civilizations to the political interpretation of the past, the dangers of Alternative Archaeologies are clear and under our responsibility. This paper analyzes this situation in order to propose a strategy that may make us the main characters of the popular imagery in the mid-term. Since confrontation and communication do not seem to be effective approaches, we need a change in the paradigm based on Public Archaeology and the increase of our presence in everyday life.

The Way

While it would appear that the motivations to incorporate the Directorate of Special Operations (DSO) or Scorpions into a new South African Police Service directorate are largely politically driven, there are a number of practical obstacles standing in the way of a ‘smooth’ incorporation. Foremost among these is the manner of operations of the Scorpions, the way that they investigate certain crimes by means of prosecution-led teams, and their more effective use of intelligence-driven crime information. This is diametrically opposed to the SAPS investigation modus operandi, which is largely reactive. Furthermore, many of the Scorpions investigators, representing as they do a vast pool of built up experience and expertise, do not want to serve in the SAPS under the latter’s investigating regime. Other sticking points would be the fact that they are paid infinitely better than SAPS detectives, are better funded and resourced, have a far lighter case load (and one shared in a team) – all in direct contrast to members of the SAPS.

Captain Barker's paper was presented at a one-day seminar on The Selection and Display of Navigational Information at Sea, jointly organised by the Royal Institute of Navigation and the Nautical Institute in London on 11 December 1980.It does not seem so long ago since a shipmaster could not do better than proceed at utmost speed, mindful of sea conditions for heavy weather damage and of fog, for a successful conclusion to a commercial venture. Today the cost of bunkers may exceed the income earned on the freight. Commercial organizations carrying their own cargoes have always had to operate at speeds that relate to freight levels, but owners with their ships on charter, who were never very concerned in conserving bunkers, are now more closely scrutinized on the way they operate their ships, and particular attention is paid to the speed-consumption curve.

The aim of this paper is communication of modern trading business based on two-way communication between traders and customers. It is very important for buyers to have the opportunity to express themselves freely about the products or services that a particular trading company provides, and the buyers give suggestions on what should be improved. The objective of a modern trading company is to understand each client individually and use it to facilitate the decision making of customers to prefer to work with a particular company rather than with competition. Nothing provides loyalty better than excellent service. Merchandising as a form of communication seeks to influence all of its elements and knowledge to draw attention of the person-consumer in order to adopt and memorize the content communicated to him. The company, the supermarket, the hypermarket is able to define the strategies and policies of the merchandising elements, which will help build the image of the sales, as well as the way of presenting the products, resulting in the main hypothesis of work: Timely communication with consumers influences to a large extent final consumption decision.

Descriptive Qualitative

This research aims to rewrite the paradigm of a superior invader and the inferior colonized using Derridian deconstruction in The Track to Bralgu, a novel by Streten Bozig Wongar. It examines the depictions of the Aborigine to identify the superiority paradigm that is represented on the characters’ description and reveals how the depiction of the characters in the story brings the idea of the superiority of the colonized toward the colonizer by deconstructing the White’s paradigm. A descriptive qualitative method is a method used and a postcolonial approach is applied to conduct the research. The results of the study show that (1) the qualities of the Aborigine people which show themselves not being inferior are tracking and living in the bush, taking care of human being, transforming from human form into an animal form, and honoring the corpse; (2) the qualities of the Aborigine which deconstruct White’s constructed paradigm are skillfulness, humanity, and faith; and (3) the Aborigine people have no intentions to be better than the White people, they just live the way they believe. By living the life the way they believe, it is proven that the Aborigine people do gain the paradigm of superiority in the period of colonization. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji ulang paham superioritas penjajah dan inferioritas masyarakat terjajah dalam The Track to Bralgu menggunakan konsep dekonstruksi dari Derrida. Penelitian ini menilik penggambaran karakter Aborigin untuk mengidentifikasi paradigma superioritas penjajah dalam penggambaran karakter dan menunjukkan bagaimana penggambaran karakter tersebut menuntun paradigma superiotas dari masyarakat terjajah dengan mendekonstruksi paradigma kulit putih. Metode deskriptif kualitatif adalah metode penelitian yang digunakan dan pendekatan poskolonial diterapkan untuk melakukan penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) karakteristik orang Aborigin yang tidak merepresentasikan inferioritas mereka adalah melacak dan hidup di alam liar, peduli terhadap sesama manusia, bertransformasi dari wujud manusia menjadi hewan, dan menghormati jenazah; (2) karakteristik orang Aborigin yang mendekonstruksi paradigma penjajah ialah kepiawaian, kemanusiawian, dan kepercayaan; dan (3) orang Aborigin tidak memiliki intensi untuk menjadi lebih baik daripada penjajah, mereka hanya hidup dengan cara yang mereka yakini dan mereka menjadi superior dengan hidup dalam kebudayaan tersebut pada masa kolonial.

In the era of globalization and technological revolution, education plays vital role in the acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable a person to increase the productivity of the nation and improve the quality of life. The social and economic development of a country is linked with student academic performance. The student performance plays an important role in producing best quality graduates who will become great leaders and give manpower for a country thus are responsible for the country’s economic and social development. (Ali et. al., 2009). The present study was carried out to determine the role of study habits on academic achievement of B.Ed. students of different streams. A sample of 400 B.Ed. students was taken from two govt. colleges and two private colleges of Bhiwani and Palwal district. Results indicate that a positive correlation exists between academic achievement and study habits, science students are better than commerce and arts students in their study habits. Female science students are even better than male science students. A students learning is determined by the grade a student earns for a period of learning. Greater the grade of the student means that the student has learned a lot and hence, greater the academic achievement of the student. Academic achievement of the student is not related with only one variable. Academic achievement of the student is also related with age, year level, parents’ educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, IQ, gender, study attitude and study habits. Personal and environmental factors are responsible for academic achievement. Many studies say that learning is better acquired and mastered as soon as the learner attends to it. Gestalt psychology mentions the Law of Proximity referring to the way in which he tends to form groups according to the way they are spaced, with the nearer one’s being grouped together (Tria. et. al., 1998). As applied to learning, this refers to the closeness in space or in time. Further more, it explains why it is easier to remember recent events and hence more easily joined with the interest of the present in a common, Gestalt (Tria. et.al., 1998). In learning process, immediate and continuous drill work tend to enhance better academic achievement.
