Indonesia is a country that has many local cultures including one of them is Ajar pikukuh sunda (Sundanese Wiwitan) which is in Padepokan Bumi Dega Sunda Academy Bandung. In the teachings of Sundanese pikukuh there is a ritual that is always carried out, namely the offering. However, many people misinterpret the ritual offerings so that they are referred to as givers of demons and polytheists. The purpose of this study was to determine the meaning of offerings in Sundanese Pikukuh (Sunda Wiwitan) Teachings at Padepokan Bumi Dega Sunda Academy Bandung. This research methodology is descriptive qualitative with case studies. The results of this paper conclude that the ritual offerings carried out in Ajar Pikukuh Sunda (Sundanese Wiwitan) have a very high and noble meaning. The teaching materials / means in the ritual are all the same, namely water, earth, fire, and wind, animal elements, and plant elements. The meaning of offerings carried out by the Sundanese Pikukuh Teachers at Padepokan Bumi Dega Sunda Academy Bandung is a prayer ritual as a form of gratitude to our ancestors, the universe, to our parents, or to everything that has supported us so far, because without them we will never exist so that by using the means of sasajen from the natural elements it will be able to reconnect the energy of the past with the future.

In conventional electrodynamic theory, the advanced potential solution of Maxwell's equations is discarded on the ad hoc basis that information can be received from the past only and not from the future. This difficulty is overcome by the Wheeler?Feynman absorber theory, but unfortunately the existence of a completely retarded solution in this theory requires a steady-state universe. In the present paper conventional electrodynamics is used to obtain a condition which, if satisfied, allows information to be received from the past only, and ensures that the retarded potential is the only consistent solution. The condition is that a function Ua of the future structure of the universe is infinite, while the corresponding function Ur of the past structure is finite. Of the currently acceptable cosmological models, only the steady-state, the open big-bang, and the Eddington-Lema�tre models satisfy this condition. In these models there is no need for an ad hoc reason for the preclusion of advanced potentials.

Descriptive Qualitative

This research aims to figure out the types of personification used in one of the famous albums namely Michael Jackson's Thriller and Invincible. The sources of data were 19 songs taken from Thriller and Invincible albums by Michael Jackson and the lyrics of the songs. The research design used was descriptive qualitative research with documentation analysis as the technique of data collection. The result showed that there were 65 personification expressions found in the albums. Those 65 personifications were categorized into four types of personification as proposed by Dorst et al. (2011) namely: conventionalized personification (33 expressions), novel personification (20 expressions), default personification (12 expressions), and personification-with-metonymy (0 expressions). The idea of conventionalized personification presents in the lyrics is to dig out the beauty and tranquility of nature to life. It also might address giving an object or animal-human characteristics to create interesting imagery to the ELT Students. Also, these songs are assumed as one of the various English materials in language teaching in the future since it has no sarcasm and motivating contexts throughout the lyrics themselves.

In the article, in order to expand the horizons of legal science, the problems of future legal regulation with Another Mind, its subjects are considered. According to the author, based on the premise that the Universe is boundless both in space and in time, and “everything can be” in it, in a monochronological projection, where time moves from the past through the present to the future, subjects of Another Mind are both of earthly origin, and alien, alien, alien, galactic, etc. origin, having a carbon basis, as well as subjects of a different basis - silicon, radiant, plasmoid, etc., represent, when entering into appropriate relations with them, a legal component that can be considered a metapravo. And in the multichronological projection, where time is parallel, perpendicular, diagonal, as well as faster and slower – in the widest ranges – compared to ours, etc., relations with Another Mind are unimaginably more complicated, and their legal component will already be a megapravo.

In this chapter, an attempt is made to operationally define cyber crimes against women, as we have found that the definitions of cyber crimes have changed in the past decade and we presume that even this will change in the future decades to come. In addition, the current definitions do not specifically fit in to the nitty-gritty issues of cyber crimes against women and a succinct operational definition is provided. A new set of typology is made with regard to the cyber crimes against women as not all type of crimes fit to the category of cyber crimes against women. The patterns of victimization of women in cyberspace are dealt by qualitative case studies along with the typology.

Even those families for whom works of literature and learning afforded ways of projecting themselves into the past and the future did not always follow through smoothly on that projecting. Many works of literature and learning therefore communicated a version of family that did not square with smooth patrilinear norms. One kind of disruption was illegitimate birth. Others included bitter personal, confessional, and inheritance-based divisions within families. Two case studies are highlighted: that of the poet and magistrate Jean Vauquelin de la Fresnaye and his children, in particular his courtier and libertin-poet son Nicolas Vauquelin des Yveteaux; and that of Nicolas Vignier (the once-Protestant historian) and the confessionally divided literary producers who were his descendants.

Exoskeleton Design

The past few decades have witnessed a rapid explosion in research surrounding robotic exoskeletons due to their promising applications in medicine and human performance augmentation. Several advances in technology have led to the development of more energy efficient and viable prototypes of these devices. However, despite this rapid advancement in exoskeleton technology, most of the developed devices are limited to laboratory testing and a very few of them are commercially available for human use. This chapter discusses the advances in various constituting technologies including actuation, sensing, materials, and controls that made exoskeleton research feasible. Also presented are case studies on two state-of-the-art robotic exoskeletons, Harmony and Maestro, developed for rehabilitation of the upper body. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the ongoing challenges in exoskeleton design and ethical, social, and legal considerations related to the use of these devices and the future of exoskeletons.

Heraclitus declares the being (that which exists, nature) but identifies it with becoming, but Parmenides declares just the Being; only what is, is, what is not, is not. All “follows” from that: change, he argues, is logically impossible and so what is, is one and unchangeable! This dazzling absolute monism is in daring disagreement with sense perception, but curiously it has found a well-known genius as a supporter. Emboldened by his theory of relativity, Einstein considers the universe as a four-dimensional “block” (a space-time continuum like a loaf of bread) which, remarkably, contains all moments of time (of past, present, and future) always, and where change is an illusion. He said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.” In the block universe, the past is not gone, it is present; and the future, like the present, is, well, present, too.

One of the traditional activities of the National Physical Laboratory is its work on the maintenance and improvement of the primary standards of measurement. Although one may possibly visualise such work, because of its long history and its association with calibration services, as of a largely routine character, this is certainly far from the case at the present time. The present is a period of considerable activity and change in fundamental metrology, with the classical material standards of measurement being superseded by atomic or quantum standards. The past decade has seen a change to atomic standards for the units of length and time, and there seems little doubt that the future will see an extension of atomic-based standards to other areas, notably that of the electrical quantities. Some of the changes which may come about as a consequence of adopting the most accurate and convenient quantum methods have interesting implications. For example, a possible outcome of the new techniques being developed for the accurate measurement of very high (infrared) frequencies is that the standards of length and time may become unified, with the velocity of light taking the role of an agreed defined constant rather than an experimentally determinable quantity.
