<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> This article aims to show that science and faith have always walked closer than is usually thought, and that they can even coexist harmoniously in the same individual. It also seeks to show the sterility of the debate that puts both in direct confrontation, evidencing the often prejudiced and disdainful position of current science towards faith as a characteristic of the human condition, whether or not it is associated with a religion. In a broader approach, it discusses currently existing beliefs about the existence of intelligent life outside the Earth in contrast to the possibilities that science offers in our actual state of technological development. In addition, the work intends to convey the perception that it would be much more constructive to accept faith as a natural manifestation of consciousness that recognizes the limits of knowledge, rather than rejecting it through scientific arguments that, being faith, is manifestly inapplicable.</p><p><strong>Key-words:</strong><strong> </strong>science, faith, cosmogony, cosmology.</p><p>================================================================ </p><p><strong>Resumo:</strong> Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que ciência e fé sempre estiveram mais próximas do que normalmente se pensa, e que podem até coexistir harmoniosamente no mesmo indivíduo. Também busca mostrar a esterilidade do debate que as coloca em confronto direto, evidenciando a posição muitas vezes preconceituosa e desdenhosa da ciência atual em relação à fé como característica da condição humana, associada ou não a uma religião. Em uma abordagem mais ampla, discute-se as crenças atualmente existentes sobre a existência de vida inteligente fora da Terra em contraste com as possibilidades que a ciência oferece em nosso atual estado de desenvolvimento tecnológico. Além disso, o trabalho pretende transmitir a percepção de que seria muito mais construtivo aceitar a fé como manifestação natural da consciência que reconhece os limites do conhecimento, do que rejeitá-la por meio de argumentos científicos que, para ela, sendo fé, não se aplicam.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> ciência, fé, cosmogonia, cosmologia.</p>

Production is an activity to convert inputs into outputs through the transformation process. Input in the form of man, money, method, material, machine. While the output is in the form of goods or services. The purpose of production in general is to meet individual needs. There are several factors that influence production namely land and all economic potential that is processed and cannot be separated from the production process, labor is directly related to the demands of property rights through production, and capital, management and technology. In production there are various types of production, namely production which is intermittent and continuous. The production, if viewed from an Islamic perspective, it must fulfill the following principles. First, produce in a halal circle. Second, managing natural resources in production is interpreted as the process of creating wealth by utilizing natural resources must rely on the vision of the creation of this nature and along with the vision of human creation, namely as a blessing for all nature. Third, the Caliph on the earth is not only based on the activity of producing the usefulness of an item but work is done with the motive of benefiting to seek the pleasure of Allah SWT. Key Words: Production, Red Sugar, benefiting

In this article, an important part of Simondon’s philosophy of technology (mainly as it is elaborated in On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects) is presented and situated within a broader context of philosophy of technology and contemporary trends of technological development. The hypothesis suggests that one of the main motives behind such Simondon’s ideas as a reconciliation between culture and technics, the need for mechanology, etc. is to dispel the metaphysical view of autonomous position of technology as uncontrollable destiny in contemporary societies. However, Simondon’s position remains inherently ambivalent here: even though it is culture that should incorporate and govern technology, culture still must accomodate itself to the actual state of technology developed by technicians. A mystifying element in Simondon’s philosophy of technology remains, as the philosopher privileges a technician as being grounded in and having access to the pre-individual state of nature. It is argued that the development of technology should be more democratized and put under rational control of society.


On the hypothesis that the Earth consists of an imperfectly conducting sphere surrounded by infinite homogeneous dielectric, I have recently obtained a complete solution (in a form adapted for numerical computation) of the problem of determining the effect at a distant point of the Earth’s surface due to a Hertzian oscillator emitting waves of a definite frequency. Previous investigators had obtained approximations (some of which were incorrect) to the dominant terms of the series which represents the effect due to the Earth, but the earlier approximations cease to be valid in the neighbourhood of the antipodes of the transmitter. On this hypothesis the absolute value of the Hertzian function (with the time-factor suppressed) is roughly proportional to (sin θ ) -½ exp (- 23⋅94 λ -⅓ θ ), where λ is the wavelength measured in kilometres, θ and is the angular distance from the transmitter. When θ is nearly equal to π, the factor (sin θ ) -½ has to be suppressed. This formula does not agree with results obtained experimentally. The numerical factor 23⋅94 is much too large, so that, as θ increases, the magnetic force decays much less rapidly than the theory indicates; and it has also been suggested on experimental grounds that the actual state of affairs is represented much more closely when the factor λ -⅓ is replaced by the factor λ -½ .

The quantitative evidence of human impacts on the Earth System has produced new calls for planetary stewardship. At the same time, numerous scholars reject modern social sciences by claiming that the Anthropocene fundamentally changes the human condition. However, we cannot simply dismiss all previous forms of cultural learning or transmission. Instead, this paper examines ethics in the Anthropocene, and specifically what it implies for: (1) reassessing our normative systems in view of human impacts on the Earth System; (2) identifying novel ethical problems in the Anthropocene; and (3) repositioning traditional issues concerning fairness and environmental ethics. It concludes by situating ethics within the challenge of connecting multiple social worlds to a shared view of human and Earth histories and calls for renewed engagement with ethics.

The OA-10B dam is one of the earth structures of the EOL (Eastmain – Opinaca – La Grande) project within the "La Grande" hydroelectric complex at James Bay, in the northwest of Quebec. Three rivers, the Eastmain, Petit Opinaca, and Opinaca, were diverted to the La Grande River to increase the hydropotential of the LG-2 power plant. Dam OA-10B, 25 m high, has a zoned section with an impervious moraine central core, and rests mainly on overburden foundations consisting of heterogeneous deposits of glacial till. The paper describes the different construction phases of the dam with emphasis on foundation treatments. Key words: construction, core trench, dam, dewatering, excavation, foundation, glacial till, instrumentation, moraine, treatment.

Features of changes of land cover and exogenous processes in a river basin of Poltva in connection with decreasing of the economic activities during the Post-Soviet period are considered. For researches the remote materials occurring at different times are used. Changes in agricultural and the forest use of the earth have caused in the majority stabilization exogenous processes. Changes aquicultural, urban and industrial human activities have caused activization of these processes in a river basin. Key words: changes of land cover, exogenous processes.

This article is a small empirical study based on two assignments, both involving reading and writing, in two physics courses at a Christian college. Students read theological, philosophical, and scientific arguments and produced research papers. By performing interdisciplinary intellectual work, students considered the compatibility of science and Christian faith through a specific issue: the age of the earth and universe. Students indicated that they both changed and formed beliefs through their completion of the assignments. Furthermore, students became more amenable to the possibility that the principles of Christianity and science are compatible. The authors argue that incorporating theological questions into science classes fosters students' faith as well as their learning and moral development.
