Egyptian Architecture

This article discusses the meaning and function of the act of measuring ancient Egyptian architecture in the present-day context, in which the advent of digital culture has allowed the accumulation of extremely precise and accurate data. Our expectations on our modern measurements may lead us to select the ancient data through a filter that does not correspond to the ancient perspective, thus affecting the validity of the results. In order to disentangle past and current perspectives, it may be useful to discuss two aspects: the difference between ancient measures obtained from calculations and observations, and the meaning of precision and accuracy in modern and ancient times. A reconstruction of the planning and building process of ancient monuments is likely to take a successful path only if we are willing to look at the evidence from a slightly different perspective, in which numbers become part of a larger and more complex operation.

The tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people carried out at the East Sera village is different from the other regions. The difference is the aim of the practice which is more specific and focus to cure disease. It indicates that the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading carried out at the East Sera village has meaning and function specifications which can not be found in other areas. East Sera society interpret Qashidah Burdah tradition as an alternatif treatment media implemented when the other media treatments (medical and shaman) are not able to cure. In addition, the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick person also has several functions; namely socio-economic function (this media treatment is much cheaper than the others); socio-religious function (it can strengthen monotheism, fortitude and resignation to Allah), and socio-cultural function as a medium for preserving helpfulness attitude, familiarity, and social solidarity. The existence of those functions – both latent and manifest – becomes the reason of why the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people still continues to be preserved by the people of East Sera.

The purpose of this study is to understand and identify the composition of Rejang Pedawa dance attire and the meaning and function of Rejang Pedawa dance outfit. Rejang Pedawa dance fashion is the same as Rejang dance clothing in general but the difference is at the top that uses ungar and sekar spurs made from pelendo that take the form of flowers and tails of peacocks, and the use of traditional Balinese cloth in almost all of the Pedawa rejang clothing. From the functions and meanings it can be concluded that the Rejang Pedawa dance takes a beautiful form because it is indeed the function of the Rejang Pedawa dance to entertain Bhatara Bhatari who is led to descend to Earth during the Pujawali Saba Pedawa Village ceremony. The meaning of Rejang Pedawa's clothing still maintains the fashion that they received from their ancestral heritage. Traditional dance prioritizes a sense of devotion, so it does not take into account too much of the clothing worn.

AbstractThis article wants to reinterpret the symbol of batik Demak that has been lost for hundreds of years. Demak as the first Islamic empire, in its time, becomes the center of Islamic Javanese culture and a cultural figure with the various cultural products. One of the cultural products in Demak is batik. The context of this study views Batik Demak as a cultural form, namely artifacts that contain a discourse of self-representation found by ideographic aspects of the initiator and the culture that produce to it. This discourse is reflected in the form or figure of the object as well as the implicit meaning. Batik Demak is considered to be a cultural heritage in Demak since hundreds of years ago. It had, once, disappeared then in 2006 it was reappeared. This must cut the strings of history about the meaning and function of Batik Demak in ancient times. Batik Demak tends to present when each region in the territory of Indonesia, especially Central Java is promoting batik with regional motifs. The reinterpretation of symbols that emerge seems to be a strategy of branding or imaging an area. The meaning of the symbol of batik does not really represent the pattern of life of Demak community as manifested in the five typical motives of Demak.Keywords: Batik Demak, Reinterpretation, Symbols

Text Study

In a series of complex study of multicomponent or polypredicative complex sentences, it is relevant to consider them as a microtext. In the text study discussion issues still exist: the number and composition of categories, the means of their expression, the difference between the concepts of “textual characteristic” and “text-forming function”. Based on the material of multicomponent complex sentences, we consider universal text categories inherent in any text, and optional, inherent only to certain types of text. The principal categories of the text, such as cohesion, coherence, integrity, consistency, continuum are realized even within the limits of a microtext-sentence. The analysis of multicomponent structures is carried out in a triune way: taking into ac-count the relation of their form, meaning and function. We show that the sequence of homogene-ous subordinate clauses is determined by their content and the communicative task of the state-ment. In this regard, as the utterance unfolds from one subordinate clause to another, either the concretization of the meaning of conditionality or its intensification is revealed. On the other hand, the connection to the subordinate clauses of constructive conjunctions and lexical actualizers contributes to the expression of the category of informativeness, which implies the reflection in the text of the degree of novelty or significance of information. On the example of contaminated structures with various types of communication (compositional, subordinate, non-union), various methods and techniques are described as tectonic means of text formation. Thus, we conclude that a multicomponent complex sentence, which is a transitional structure from a complex sentence to a text, makes it possible to study the interaction of lexical and syntactic means in the formation of the meaning and implementation of the author’s communicative intention.

The Institute of Hungarian Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Debrecen formed a research group in 2010 in order to launch the research of Hungarian realms of memory. This paper was written within the frameworks of the research group. Its basic hypothesis is that the identification of Hungary as the Bastion of Christendom is an established part of Hungarian collective memory. This paper attempts to demonstrate the changes of this realm of memory, regarding its meaning and function, from its formation up to the present day.

Lactoferrin was isolated and purified for the first time over 50-years ago. Since then, extensive studies on the structure and function of this protein have been performed and the research is still being continued. In this mini-review we focus on presenting recent scientific efforts towards the elucidation of the role and therapeutic potential of lactoferrin saturated with iron(III) or manganese(III) ions. The difference in biological activity of metal-saturated lactoferrin vs. the unmetalated one is emphasized. The strategies for oral delivery of lactoferrin, are also reviewed, with particular attention to the metalated protein.

Descriptive Qualitative

The article titled “Demonstrative Nouns of ini and aini in Muna Language.” The purpose of this article is to analyze the form, meaning, and function of ini and aini in Muna language. The method used is descriptive qualitative with distributional technique. This method is used to describe and analyze the form, meaning, and function of ini and aini. The results of the analysis found that the form of ini is a base or monomorpheme, while the form of aini is a derivative or polymorpheme which consists of morpheme a- and morpheme aini. In construction of phrase, clause, or sentence generally have the same meaning, namely ‘this’. For instance, O lambu ini damasoe and lambu aini damasoe the meaning is ‘The house will be sold.’ However, when it’s examined more closely, both forms of demonstrative ini and aini in distributional are not interchangeable. For instance, *O lambu aini damasoe dan *Lambu ini damasoe. Both of constructions are ungrammatical caused by form ini has a meaning ‘this’, while form aini means ‘which this’. The bound morpheme a- in aini has a function as a noun marker which pointed in article ini called relative noun marker. Thus, demonstrative aini can stand alone as a minor sentence in the answer sentence, e.g., Question: Hamai bokuku kabasa? ‘Where is my reading book?’ Answer: Aini! ‘This’ < (Here is it!). Demonstrative aini when substituted with ini, the construction became ungrammatical, e.g., Question: Hamai bokuku kabasa? ‘Where is my reading book?’ Answer: *ini. Hereafter, the form ini cannot be formed in more complexes, whereas the form aini can be formed again with another bound morpheme, such as: ainihakanau ‘This is me’, ainihako ‘This is you’, ainihakoomu ‘These are you’, ainihae ‘This is he’, ainihada ‘These are they’, and ainihakasami ‘These are we’.

Love begets poetry; poetry begets love. These two propositions have seemed evident to thinkers and poets across the Western literary tradition. Plato writes that “anyone that love touches instantly becomes a poet.” And even today, when poetry has largely disappeared from the mainstream of popular culture, it retains its romantic associations. But why should this be so—what are the connections between poetry and erotic love that lead us to associate them so strongly with one another? An examination of different theories of both love and poetry across the centuries reveals that the connection between them is not merely an accident of cultural history—the result of our having grown up hearing, or hearing about, love poetry—but something more intrinsic. Even as definitions of them have changed, the two phenomena have consistently been described in parallel terms. Love is characterized by paradox. Above all, it is both necessarily public, because interpersonal, and intensely private; hence it both requires expression and resists it. In poetry, especially lyric poetry, which features its own characteristic paradoxes and silences, love finds a natural outlet. This study considers both the theories and the love poems themselves, bringing together a wide range of examples from different eras in order to examine the major structures that love and poetry share. It does not aim to be a comprehensive history of Western love poetry, but an investigation into the meaning and function of recurrent tropes, forms, and images employed by poets to express and describe erotic love.
