In the paper, an attempt has been made to describe the cultural and linguistic contacts between the local Maya civilization and the Spanish conquistadores. The consequences of that contact for the local culture and Mayan-Spanish interrelationships have been discussed. The authors emphasize that as a result of this intensive and long-time contact, the Spanish culture has not been completely imposed on the Maya culture, nor has Spanish language completely subjugated the Mayan language.

The Subject

Arriving in Italy following the expulsion of the Jesuits from all the territories of the Spanish crown, the Mexican Francisco Javier Clavijero did not delay much to conceive the work that earned him the fame of initiator of the modern Latin American historiography. Eager to correct the erroneous and, in many ways, teratological image that the philosophes had offered of America, he composed, in the Spanish language, his, still fundamental today, Historia antigua de México, which, however, for various reasons, had to remain manuscript for a long time. Instead, he published it in Italian (Storia antica del Messico, 4 vols., Cesena, Biasini, 1780-81), two years after finishing it, in March 1778. The considerable extension of the work certainly makes Clavijero credible when he claims to have imposed himself a “new and difficult task by translating [his books] into the Tuscan”. The solutions that he adopts for some translation problems in the field of the subject dealt with are preferibiles to those of most contemporary translators of similar works.

Local wisdom emerges through internal processes and lasts a long time as a result of interactionsbetween humans and their environment. This long evolutionary process will lead to the emergenceof a crystallized value system in the form of common law, beliefs and local culture. Thus, in essencelocal wisdom is a norm that is adhered to in society which is believed in faith and becomes areference in everyday life. Local wisdom is the positive behavior of humans in interacting withnature and the local environment which comes from the values of religious customs, ancestraladvice or local culture, which are naturally built in a society to adapt to their local environment.This literature review aims to raise local wisdom in the form of traditions in Javanese society,especially those related to health and care for children.

Being restricted directly displaying cigarettes on commercials forces cigarette manufacturers and creative teams to work hard to create a cigarette commercial that can attract consumers’ attention. This is the reason why many cigarette manufacturers show scenes laden with local culture elements in their commercials as an effort to bring their products closer to the consumers. Local culture-themed commercials beginning to bloom on the television aim not only to preserve Indonesian local cultural values but also to protect them from being claimed by other countries. This research aims to get an overview of an alleged exploitation of Sumbawa local culture in Dji Sam Soe cigarette commercial Mahakarya Indonesia 2016 version. The research method used here is semiotic analysis with approaches from Roland Barthes, which are linguistics and connotative and denotative iconic message. Several vital scenes indicate practices of exploitation of Sumbawa local culture in the advertisement. These practices of local culture exploitation are marked by the emergence of scenes where Sumbawa people work together to build boats and houses (denotation), a long-time characteristic of Indonesian society, along with verbal and written message (linguistics) shown through the back sound of a man saying,“From the youths to the elders, to the youths.”and “One Nusantara collaborate to create an effort in which equal burden is bore on the shoulders!”.These sentences send both denotative and connotative messages that are important to be analyzed further.

John Dauns died on June 4, 2009 of cancer in New Orleans at the age of 73. His work on rings and modules is well-known in the algebra community. However, functional analysts working in the area of C*-algebras are likely to know his name from one theorem that is a corollary of results he and I had obtained in work we did in the mid-sixties of the last century ([17, 27, 18]) and which became known as the Dauns-Hofmann Theorem in C*-algebra theory. It has been known in the C*-text book and monograph literature up to the recent one under this name ([9, 20, 21, 39, 41]) since it provides apparently a useful tool that continues to be used in current research (see e.g. [7, 8, 25, 38, 40]). The problem with the historical record of the Dauns–Hofmann Theorem is that it used to be somewhat obscure how it originated and that the full weight of what was proved was not precisely understood for a long time. As John Dauns was deeply, if not subbornly involved in the development of the early phases of the representation of rings, algebras, C*-algebras (and other classes of algebras) by continuous sections in bundles (sometimes called continuous fields) [11–18], and since his work in this area was substantial and contributed much to a local culture of "sectional representation" at Tulane University ([19, 22, 27–34, 43, 44, 48]), I feel that it is justified to attempt a clarification. He can no longer participate himself in such an attempt; nor would he actually protest the occasional lack of acknowledgment were he alive, because that would be contrary to his ever gentle disposition. This small survey is devoted to shedding some additional light on this portion of John Dauns' work in mathematics; it is natural that it should have a personal tenor by a writer remembering his presence and his work as a collaborator.

Despite the modern and grandiose appearance of most architectural projects, closer examinations cast doubts on their sensitivity to the cultural and traditional past of the societies for which they were intended. Space for human habitation and interaction is one of the primary aspects of man's culture, and is basic to any architectural discussion. For a long time, architecture in most developing nations was shaped by colonial contexts and ideologies. The architects seemed more committed to revitalizing the civilization of other advanced countries within a new world setting. The focus of this paper is on the interplay between architecture and culture. The relationship between spaces created by architects and the local culture is examined within the context of place - the house, the community, the region, as well as the nation. The study identifies ties that bind groups together. It also explores the components that constitute spatial character. Physical and intangible aspects of materials in achieving environmental character are evaluated. Key questions regarding the professional and ideological inclination of architects are addressed. Finally, the impact of emerging global trends occasioned by contact of cultures is analyzed.

According to Clifford Geertz, Islam in Indonesia is a religious tradition that is influenced by religious beliefs, ethnic preferences and political ideologies carried out by Modjokuto people as a reflection of the religious traditions of the Javanese community. Geertz states that the style of Islam in Indonesia, especially Java is syncretic Islam. It was from a combination of Islam and Javanese culture. Islam is only a mere accessory but its substance is a noble Javanese culture. Whereas according to Woodward, that religious conception has a big role in transforming certain cultures in this case is Javanese Islamic culture. According to Woodward, the style of Islam in the archipelago is acculturative. It was from the encounter with the local culture in a very long time.

<div class="WordSection1"><p>This article is to unravel the issue of dialectic of Islam and local culture in the social field as one face of Javanese Islam. Historically, Islam came to Indonesia there is a record seventh century AD, but there are also the states of the thirteenth century AD. This means that Islam has been a long time to adapt and dialogue with the culture, customs, attitudes and ways of thinking locals Indonesia. Moreover, many aspects of Islamic teachings that can be flexible so it can receive the local elements are in harmony with the teachings of Islam. The style of Islam in Java in many ways resembles Islam in South Asia. Kerala, the Malabar coast became an important area for the spice trade. Therefore, this area is also very likely to be a transit area for the purpose of trading with the merchants and simultaneously broadcast and Sufi Moslem are deliberately seeking new areas for development of Islam. For this reason, the face of Islam in Java is the result of dialogue and dialectic between Islam and local culture which then displays the face of Javanese Islam. In fact, Islam in Java is indeed not a single, not a monolith, and not simple. Among these are reflected in social relations syncretic Javanese Moslem community with other communities go naturally with the local knowledge base in the village community at large.</p> <p> </p> <p>Artikel ini ingin mengurai persoalan dialektika Islam dan budaya lokal dalam bidang sosial sebagai salah satu wajah Islam Jawa. Secara historis, Islam datang ke Indonesia ada yang mencatat abad VII Masehi, tapi ada juga yang menyatakan abad XIII Masehi. Ini berarti Islam telah lama beradaptasi dan berdialog dengan budaya, adat kebiasaan, sikap dan cara berpikir penduduk lokal Indonesia. Terlebih lagi, banyak aspek dari ajaran Islam yang dapat bersifat fleksibel sehingga dapat menerima unsur-unsur lokal yang selaras dengan ajaran Islam. Corak Islam di Jawa dalam banyak hal menyerupai Islam di Asia Selatan. Kerala, di pantai Malabar menjadi daerah penting untuk perdagangan rempah-rempah. Oleh karena itu, daerah ini juga sangat mungkin menjadi daerah transit bagi kaum pedagang dengan tujuan perdagangan dan sekaligus menyiarkan Islam dan kaum sufi yang secara sengaja mencari daerah baru untuk pengembangan Islam. Karena itulah, wajah Islam di Jawa merupakan hasil dialog dan dialektika antara Islam dan budaya lokal yang kemudian menampilkan wajah Islam yang khas Jawa. Dalam kenyataannya, Islam di Jawa memanglah tidak bersifat tunggal, tidak monolit, dan tidak simpel. Di antaranya adalah tercermin dalam relasi sosial komunitas Islam Jawa sinkretis dengan masyarakat lainnya berjalan secara alamiah dengan mendasarkan pada kearifan lokal masyarakat desa pada umumnya.</p> <p> </p></div> <br />

The main purpose of the research is to recognize and interpret Old Polish diarists’ reflections on language and local culture in a wider cultural perspective. Literary works by J.Ch. Pasek, J. So-bieski and some foreign authors who visited the Republic of Poland have been analyzed. Two ques-tions seem to be particularly interesting in the context of this theme: what features of local culture distinguished the Poles from people in other countries and regions in Europe in the 17th century and how these differences affected the contacts with the environment and the self-esteem of the protag-onists in each work. In view of the author’s own and other people’s opinions, a multiple image of the “Polish cultural code” has been revealed, whose elements were maintained in Polish customs and mentality for a long time.

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.

Long Time

For a long time, the development of dynamical theory for HEER has been stagnated for several reasons. Although the Bloch wave method is powerful for the understanding of physical insights of electron diffraction, particularly electron transmission diffraction, it is not readily available for the simulation of various surface imperfection in electron reflection diffraction since it is basically a method for bulk materials and perfect surface. When the multislice method due to Cowley & Moodie is used for electron reflection, the “edge effects” stand firmly in the way of reaching a stationary solution for HEER. The multislice method due to Maksym & Beeby is valid only for an 2-D periodic surface.Now, a method for solving stationary solution of HEER for an arbitrary surface is available, which is called the Edge Patching method in Multislice-Only mode (the EPMO method). The analytical basis for this method can be attributed to two important characters of HEER: 1) 2-D dependence of the wave fields and 2) the Picard iteractionlike character of multislice calculation due to Cowley and Moodie in the Bragg case.
