Innate cognitive capacities are orchestrated by cultural practices to produce high-level cognitive processes. In human activities, examples of this phenomenon range from everyday inferences about space and time to the most sophisticated reasoning in scientific laboratories. A case is examined in which chimpanzees enter into cultural practices with humans (in experiments) in ways that appear to enable them to engage in symbol-mediated thought. Combining the cultural practices perspective with the theories of embodied cognition and enactment suggests that the chimpanzees' behaviour is actually mediated by non-symbolic representations. The possibility that non-human primates can engage in cultural practices that give them the appearance of symbol-mediated thought opens new avenues for thinking about the coevolution of human culture and human brains.

Women are the beings who guarded her nakedness than most men. Sowomen have a more privacy rooms than others. By keeping the hijab asmuch as possible, the activities of the household can work well withoutfear of nakedness is maintained. It is very clear that in islamic law, theorders keep the hijab has been described in the Holy of Quran and Sunnah.So the role of architectural space is very important in presenting a spacethat could keep the nakedness of women in the home. As we know thatspace as a place of human activities, one of which is accommodating theactivity of female residents in homes with a due regard to any restriction orhijab women in islam. This paper uses the theory as a method of approachand observe the formation of the muslim family residential. So the studycan show the attention to architectural form hijab women in spatialarrangement. Spatial planning with respect to public and private space, the circulation of the house and used a room divider has major role in maintaining and cover the nakedness of the inhabitants, especially womenin home. Separation of public and private space as one of the applicationsthat are close the genitals. So the concept of study of this theory can bereference in designing the lay out in residences are islamic.

Authentic Happiness

Pascal sees happiness (bonheur) as the ultimate goal of all human activity, but argues that experience shows it to be unattainable; our underlying condition is unhappiness. In the immediate, he argues, human activities are forms of diversion or distraction, by which we seek to screen from ourselves our unhappiness and mortality and to gratify our vanity. This analysis omits the role of pleasure, which he elsewhere identifies as the motive force of all volition. In order to reconcile this anomaly, we need to distinguish between the motive of our actions, the ultimate end they have in view, and the Supreme Good. The motive of our actions is pleasure, their ultimate end happiness, and the Supreme Good God, in union with whom authentic happiness consists.

This article is dedicated to the role of passenger logistics centers in passenger logistics support systems. Presentations were made through the prism of defining the role of passenger logistics support systems. In today’s conceived economic reality, the rules of logistics also apply to everyday human activities. People have to meet their needs and move around. In this perspective, man becomes a resource. There must therefore be passenger logistics support systems, the key elements of which are passenger logistics centers. They fulfill the key logistic functions and enable the achievement of the logistics objectives (5 “W”). The article attempts to describe the present and future role of passenger logistics centers. Information on these centers has been collected, based on scientific achievements of specialists in this field (including M. Chaberek), on railway infrastructure managers and on the author’s experience. Finally, conclusions were drawn, in which direction should be assessed both passenger logistics support systems and, above all, passenger logistics centers. An attempt was also made to determine the postulated future role of passenger logistics centers in the logistics system of the country.
