The appraised dependent variable – the de-gree of the professors’ satisfaction in relation  to the variables of QLW offered by the researched universities – was classified in biological, psycho-logical,  social  and  organizational.  Starting  from these data, it took place a descriptive analysis.

Of two letters written by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) to the Genevese physicist Auguste de la Rive (1801-1873, For. Mem. R.S.) which are preserved in the public University Library of Geneva, one is of distinct interest. This letter (M.S. 2319), written on 17 December 1856, throws sidelights on the discovery of the ‘Thomson Effect’ (originally described in his paper to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1851) and on the state of his thought about the nature of the mobile element involved in electrical conduction.

The Public

The public university is an educational institution with heterogeneous and multicultural socio-religious and cultural background conditions for students, including the State University of Malang (UM). The problem that multicultural and multireligious campuses often face is intolerant behavior that allows acts of violence to occur. Nevertheless, interestingly, this does not happen at UM. That is because UM seeks to develop a tolerant attitude of students through Islamic religious education with a culture of non-violence. The aims of this study are: (1) to find out what nonviolence cultural values ​​exist in UM, and (2) what efforts are made by UM to strengthen religious tolerance through Islamic religious education with a culture of nonviolence. This qualitative research applies a case study with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis includes data collection, condensation, data display, and concluding. The results of this study, namely: (1) The values of the non-violent culture that is being developed by the State University of Malang (UM) are: (a) Rahmatan Lil'alamin values, (b) Peacebuilding values, and (c) Tolerance-values. (2) The strengthening of religious tolerance through non-violent culture through PAI learning at UM includes: (a) The PAI learning process is carried out in the classroom learning directly (2 credits) and in the form of Tafaqquhfiidiinil Islam (TDI) activities which are including public lectures PAI learning and intensive guidance on reading the Qur'an (1 credit) for a total of credit is 3.

A Current

Using published estimates of inequality for two countries (Russia and USA) the paper demonstrates that inequality measuring still remains in the state of “statistical cacophony”. Under this condition, it seems at least untimely to pass categorical normative judgments and offer radical political advice for governments. Moreover, the mere practice to draw normative conclusions from quantitative data is ethically invalid since ordinary people (non-intellectuals) tend to evaluate wealth and incomes as admissible or inadmissible not on the basis of their size but basing on whether they were obtained under observance or violations of the rules of “fair play”. The paper concludes that a current large-scale ideological campaign of “struggle against inequality” has been unleashed by left-wing intellectuals in order to strengthen even more their discursive power over the public.

The centerpiece of New York State’s 150th anniversary of the Sullivan Expedition of 1779 was a pageant, the “Pageant of Decision.” Major General John Sullivan’s Revolutionary War expedition was designed to eliminate the threat posed by Iroquois allied with the British. It was a genocidal operation that involved the destruction of over forty Indian villages. This article explores the motivations and tactics of state officials as they endeavored to engage the public in this past in pageant form. The pageant was widely popular, and served the state in fixing the expedition as the end point in settler-Indian relations in New York, removing from view decades of expropriations of Indian land that occurred well after Sullivan’s troops left.

Recent Developments

Recently, theology has garnered renewed attention in the academy. For various reasons, both theologians and some religious studies scholars have argued that theology deserves to be brought into greater dialogue with other disciplines, and some have even argued that theology ought to be taught in the public university. There are interesting arguments to be made that theology is more similar to other disciplines than might initially be supposed, and even that it is at the cutting edge of certain recent developments in scholarship more broadly. There are also, however, noteworthy barriers to incorporating theology more fully into the academy, and these may present significant challenges to inter-disciplinary dialogue and the possibility of productive exchange between theology and other areas of research.
