The city is one of important aspects of the earth. The universe has been created with various kinds of creature. However, to be able to survive, there are two important things to do: a) surviving to compete, and b) surviving to live. The human being becomes the subject for any building plans for nation advancement. On the other side, the environ- ment which becomes the object of building plans is frequently ignored. It should not happen as al-Qur'an states that the universe is created for human's benefits based on its Standard and function. When the universe does not function as its standard, there will be a disaster. For that reason, building infrastructure in the city should consider the surroundings, and does not make the nature as the place of throwing away. The building process which synergies with al-Qur'an aims to make people aware and change their behavior for the safety of the universe. In al-Qur'an, it is stated that if the human is not back to his/her 'fitrah' will disappear because of any damages created by human himself.

This work is urgent due to the need in studying the Tuvan traditional clothing, which is a part of the “cultural core” of the residents and contributes to the preservation of their national identity. The research aims analyzing the interrelations of the spiritual (sacred) and material (earthly) in the semantics of the Tuvan costume. The subject of the study is the Tuvan folk costume, whereas the main focus is its sign-symbolic nature. The features of the cut, decor and form of the Tuvan costume represent, on the one hand, a unique ethnic specificity, and on the other hand, mean fundamental laws of the Universe inherent in the cultures of all the peoples on the Earth. The study results in the systematization of cultural types of the costume and identification of their symbolic articulation in particular material form (fit, cut or design elements)

In this article, the issue of structural individualisation, which is one of the results of social modernisation, is adopted as the subject-matter. In the processes of individualisation, it is, first and foremost, the importance of an individual human being and matters relevant to their life, including the obligation to make constant choices in all the aspects of life, that is placed emphasis upon. In the aspect of values, the process of individualisation means transfer from values seen as responsibilities (related to duties) to values connected with self-fulfilment (self-development). The consequence of individualisation is the significant changes in the realm of morality: departing from traditional moral values and standards, permissivism and moral relativism, the destruction of normativity, and the secularisation of morality. On the other hand, it creates the opportunity to determine one's own moral choices and shapean autonomous moral personality.

According to Aristotle all heavenly movement is ultimately due to the activity of forty-seven (or fifty-five) ‘unmoved movers'. This doctrine is highly remarkable in itself and has exercised an enormous historical influence. It forms part of a world-picture the outlines of which are as follows. The universe consists of concentric spheres, revolving in circles. The outermost of these bears the fixed stars. The other either bear planets or, insofar as they do not, contribute indirectly to the movements of the latter. Each sphere is moved by the one immediately surrounding it, but also possesses a movement of its own, due to its mover, an unmoved, incorporeal being. (It was these beings which the schoolmen designated as theintelligentiae separatae.) The seemingly irregular movements of the planets are thus viewed as resulting from the combination of regular circular revolutions. The earth does not move and occupies the centre of the universe. Such was Aristotle's astronomic system, essential parts of which were almost universally adopted by the Arabic, Jewish, and Christian philosophers of the Middle Ages.

Ibn Bajja’s philosophy may be summed up in two words; al-ittisal (conjunction) and al-tawahhud (solitude). Conjunction is union with the divine realm, a union that reveals the eternal and innermost aspects of the universe. Through this union or knowledge, one is completed as a human being, and in this completion the ultimate human end, happiness, is achieved. Solitude, on the other hand, is separation from a society that is lacking in knowledge. Once united with the eternal aspects of the universe, one must isolate oneself from those who are not in the same state, who may therefore distract one from the supernatural realm through their ignorance and corruption.

Cognitively diverse project entrepreneurs are the ones most likely to succeed at making a ding in the universe. Project entrepreneurs are more effective because they are more likely to persevere at achieving their project and at undertaking new breakthrough innovations. Cyrus Field, Marconi, Walt Disney, Sam Walton, and Steve Jobs were project entrepreneurs. Innovative entrepreneurs are likely to either know less theory, or to take theory less seriously, which allows them to try what theory says is impossible. For instance, the physics of Marconi’s day said that his radio waves should go straight into space rather than curve with the earth to cross the Atlantic. Conversely, innovative entrepreneurs often have more tacit knowledge. Innovative entrepreneurs pursue serendipitous observations or slow hunches, often through trial-and-error experiments, and may benefit from cognitive diversity, such as dyslexia and Asperger’s syndrome. What inventors and entrepreneurs know is the subject matter of the epistemology of innovation.

In this paper, I explain the problem of the dreamer in the Zhuangzi. I aim to show that no difference exists between dreaming states and waking states because we have a fluctual relationship with these two stages. In both, “we are dreaming.” Put another way, from a psychoanalytical point of view, one stage penetrates the other and vice versa. The difference between dreaming and non-dreaming disappears because dreaming is a structural process. Also, from a psychoanalytical perspective, all confirmations and negations about dreams and non-dreams leads to one point: the being, or rather the becoming, of the subject. How does this solve the problem of the True Person/True Human Being (zhenren真人)? Does such a person have dreams or not? Does the True Person sleep without dreams, as we find in the Zhuangzi? From a psychoanalytic perspective, this is not possible. To prove this, I will present few passages from the Zhuangzi and offer a psychoanalytic explanation of them based on Jacques Lacan’s theory of the fantasy and desire.

A globalização aprofundou suas estratégias capazes de fomentar a competição global e de definir os agentes hegemónicos dessa corrida, que de um lado estão grandes corporações em concorrência e de outro os trabalhadores em uma luta de classes, sendo os atributos expressos a esse globaritarismo os responsáveis pelo (re) ordenamento do território, impactando na política, economia e cultura da sociedade. Portanto, a problemática apresentada tem servido como referência para a importância de analisar o conceito de logística sob o olhar geográfico e empresarial, compreendendo asua atuação e limitações a partir de procedimentos metodológicos que abrange desde levantamento bibliográfico sobre a temática até o mapeamento das condições atuais do sistema de transportes de cargas na cidade.ABSTRACT Globalization has deepened its strategies to foster global competition and to set its hegemonic agents having, on one side, large corporations in competition and, on the other side, workers on a class struggle, where the attributes in this globalization process are the ones responsible for spatial planning of cities, thus impacting politics, economy, and culture of the society. Therefore, the problems stated have served as a significant reference to analyze the concept of logistics from a geographic and business perspective by understanding their role and limitations from methodological procedures that range from literature on the subject to the mapping of current conditions of the cargo transportation system in the city.

Water is perhaps the most abundant and most universally distributed form of matter on the earth. It has to perform more varied functions and more important duties than any other kind of matter with which we are acquainted. From its close connection with all forms of life, it has been the subject of deepest interest in all ages. It is constantly changing from one of its states to another. At one time it is solid, now liquid, and then gaseous. These changes take place in regular succession, with every return of day and night, and every successive season; and these changes are constantly repeating themselves with every returning cycle. Of these changes, the one which perhaps has the greatest interest for us, and which has for long ages been the subject of special observation, is the change of water from its vaporous state, to its condensation into clouds, and descent as rain. Ever since man first “observed the winds “and “regarded the clouds,” and discovered that “fair weather cometh out of the north,” this has been the subject of intensest human interest, and at present forms one of the most important parts of the science of meteorology, a science in which perhaps more observations have been made and recorded than in all the other sciences together.

Em 1968, José Comblin publicou Théologie de la ville.1 Desde então, o assunto “cidade” tornou-se tema de reflexão teológica. Elaborado a partir da percepção das mudanças em curso nas cidades e, mesmo, a partir da formação de metrópoles latino-americanas, este tema será recorrente em sua vida e em suas obras. Mas, o presente artigo busca demonstrar: 1) que a reflexão de Comblin é, antes de tudo, uma reflexão sobre o ser humano; 2) que a centralidade antropológica é colocada a partir do papel que as estruturas urbanas desempenham na constituição e na integração das dimensões humanas; 3) que, o ser humano perfaz um caminho processual. Para tanto, estruturamos o texto em três partes: 1) Contextualização histórica; 2) Teologia da cidade; 3) Perspectiva humana e pastoral.Abstract: In 1968, Joseph Comblin published Théologie de la ville. Since then, the topic «city» became the subject of theological reflection. Drawn on the perception of the changes underway in the cities and even on the development of Latin American metropolises, this theme will recur in his life and in his works. This article, however, seeks to demonstrate: 1) that Comblin’s reflection is above all a reflection on the human being; 2) that the anthropological centrality is a result of the role that urban structures play in the creation and integration of human dimensions; 3) that the human being’s path is a procedural one. To do so, we structured the text into three parts: 1) Historical context; 2) Theology of the city; 3) Human and pastoral perspective.Keywords: Joseph Comblin. Anthropology. City. Theology of the city. Pastoral.

Resumo O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal apresentar uma investigação acerca das múltiplas práticas de leitura em bibliotecas localizadas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Para a realização deste estudo, buscamos delimitar o universo de frequentadores, suas práticas de leitura na biblioteca, os mediadores entre os textos, sons, imagens e a leitura, bem como as relações entre os espaços das bibliotecas e os territórios onde estão inseridos. Investiga-se ainda qual a importância e a função da leitura para os que a praticam, nos níveis objetivo, subjetivo, simbólico e imaginário. Através de entrevistas e da observação participante, procuramos trazer à tona a relação dos usuários com os livros, outros conteúdos, mídias e suportes. Cada vez mais, observamos práticas que combinam leitura, oralidade e escrita em um cenário transmidiático. Com os resultados, procura-se também contribuir com informações sobre a experiência dos usuários para a formulação e avaliação das políticas públicas de leitura e aquelas voltadas para as bibliotecas.   Palavras-chave: Rio de Janeiro, bibliotecas, práticas de leitura, leitura do mundo, experiências.   Resumen El presente artículo tiene por objetivo principal presentar una investigación acerca de las múltiples prácticas de lectura en bibliotecas ubicadas en la ciudad de Rio de Janeiro. Para la realización de este estudio, buscamos delimitar el universo de sus frecuentadores, sus prácticas en la biblioteca, los mediadores entre los textos, sonidos, imágenes y la lectura, además de las relaciones entre los espacios de las bibliotecas y los territorios que las abarcan. Investigamos además cual es la importancia y función de la lectura para sus practicantes, en los niveles objetivo, subjetivo, simbólico e imaginario. A través de entrevistas y de la observación participante, buscamos recuperar la relación del público con los libros y otras formas de lectura del mundo, a través de otros suportes, como el audiovisual, la música, etc. Cada vez más, observamos prácticas que combinan lectura, oralidad y escrita en un escenario transmediático. A partir de los resultados se pretende contribuir para la formulación y evaluación de las políticas públicas de lectura y bibliotecas.   Palabras clave: Rio de Janeiro, bibliotecas, prácticas de lectura, lectura de mundo, experiencias.     Abstract The major purpose of this article is to present a research on the multiple reading practices in libraries in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We attempted, firstly, to define the universe of its users, their reading practices at the library, the mediators between the texts, sounds, images and reading, as well as the relationships between the libraries´ venues and the territory in which they are set in. It is also analyzed what is the importance and function of the reading for those who practice it, in objective, subjective, symbolic and imaginary levels. Through interviews and participant observation, we tried to highlight the users´ relationship with books, other contents, medias and formats. We increasingly observe practices that combine reading, orality and writing in a transmedia scenery. Thus, we hope to contribute with information on the experience of the users for the formulation and evaluation of public reading and libraries´ policies.   Key words: Rio de Janeiro, libraries, reading practices, reading the world, experiences.
