An ode to archaeology. In the studies Archaeology and History at the University of Groningen, students are often asked to critically reflect on their studies. Why are we doing what we are doing and, especially, why should we get paid? This focus is understandable in our society that is focused on economic growth, resulting in little value being assigned to the humanities. However, because of this focus, we sometimes tend to forget why we are passionate about studying the past. In this article, I bring an ode to the study of the past to counter this. I believe the study of the past can bring a perspective to the present, makes it possible to imagine a future and can nuance the constant focus on linear progress. Furthermore, the people who have access to their past should be thankful for it, since this access is not a given for everyone.

Case Data

Grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance are legal instruments that are often used by someone to transfer their assets or wealth to others. But in practice, these four things become legal issues in society, especially for Muslim residents. Legal settlement of. This case was settled by the Religious Court. Based on case data that entered the Depok City Religious Court for the past five years until 2019, there were 24 grant cases approved, 20 wills, 8 endorsed cases, and 48 s allocation for inheritance. Some of the things behind this case and the most crucial is due to the ignorance of the community against the provisions of Indonesian law regarding grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance. On that basis, a Lecturer in the Faculty of Law of the University of Bhayangkara, Greater Jakarta, conducted socialization and legal counseling on grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance on Compilation of Islamic Law for the people in the Cinere District area. The will, endowments, and inheritance in the Compilation of Islamic Law is still very minimal. After the socialization and discussion of the law, the community's knowledge and awareness will require the implementation and legalization of grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance to improve legal problems up to the increasingly increasing religious court. The output resulting from this activity is planned to be made a waqf pocketbook as an additional reference about the legal grants, wills, endowments, and inheritance according to the Compilation of Islamic Law. Besides, the results of the activities are published in the form of implementation reports and published in scientific journals to provide comprehensive and academic-wide benefits and practical levels.

Dr. Mapes, members of the Academy, and quests. It is a great privilege for me to stand here as a recipient of this award and to tell you about some of the work I have been involved in during the past 6 years. Before I begin, however, I should like publicly to thank a number of people without whose guidance or direct help none of the work would have been accomplished. My teachers have been many, but four I think have instilled in me the scientific principles and experimental training which are so necessary in any project: Samuel Z. Levine who started my pediatric training; Norman Kretchmer and Robert Greenberg, who gave me the scientific and experimental training necessary for independent investigation; and Wallace McCrory who provided the proper conditions and atmosphere in which to carry out the work. In addition, I have had the good fortune of an association with individuals throughout the world who have contributed to these studies. Professor Julio Meneghello and his whole department at the University of Chile in Santiago, Dr. John Waterlow, and Drs. Elsie Widdowson and Richard Barnes have all provided me with materials to study, as well as ideas for me to explore. Perhaps more than any, however, I should like to thank the people in my own laboratory. These include Drs. Irving Fish, Robert Karp, Elba Velasco, and finally Pedro Rosso who was invaluable to our work in Chile and who is now continuing his work in New York. A special mention, of course, must be made of Dr. Jo Anne Brasel who has recently combined her expertise with our laboratory staff and who has been an indispensable collaborator during the past 2 years.

Insight Into

Purpose Futurist Jim Dator provides a personal insight of how he “sees” the past, present, and futures of Hawaiian tourism. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Ian Yeoman interviews one of the world's most prominent and respected futurists, Professor Jim Dator, from the Futures Research Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Political Science Department. Findings Like a climatologist, futurists discuss long‐term futures which are very uncertain, controversial, and often frightening stories. The past tells how the present occurred. Understanding that story is essential before considering the future. The growth of tourism is a fabulous story dependent on many developments whose future is uncertain. The tourism industry may want a “more of the same” trajectory of continued economic growth but a number changes are on the horizon which Dator calls “The Unholy Trinity,” namely the end of cheap and abundant energy; a profoundly unstable environment and a dysfunctional global economic system. Dator concludes that no government now governs satisfactorily, and so the future of tourism is extremely precarious and uncertain. Originality/value The interview provides both insight into how tourism has evolved and foresight of what could occur in the futures. Central to the interview is Dator's identification of the Unholy Trinity, Plus One, that suggests that the future will not neither be like the present nor like the future the tourism industry has hoped for in terms of continued economic growth. The originality and value of Dator's frank views are thought provoking, going beyond present wisdom and comfort.

AbstractWe acknowledge and pay respect to the people of the Yugambeh Nation on whose Land we work, meet and study. We recognise the significant role the past and future Elders play in the life of the University and the region. We are mindful that within and without the buildings, the Land always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.1This paper introduces staying-with the traces of inter/intra-subjective experience, with and within place, in mapping-making philosophy in environmental education. Through a conceptualisation of philosophy as concepts or knots in an infinite composition of knowledge, rather than separate knowledges, we use staying-with the traces2 as method, whereby our embodied patterns of human and more than human relationality across place and time may engage with philosophy. This grounding of philosophy foregrounds the diverse onto-epistemologies of posthumanism and indigenist3 ways of knowing, acknowledging tensions and searching for the possibilities of connectivity between them. Through an embodied arts-based walking practice, our approach challenges the perpetuation of reductionist perspectives, including nature/culture binaries, within environmental education. We stay with the traces of bird, meeting, tree, watery and concrete in mutual inseparable relation and becoming.

The article is devoted to the dynamics of the attitude of adolescents to environmental problems. Relevance of the article is determined by the prospect of active influence of the younger generation on the environment in the near future. The attitude of teenagers in 1996 and 2017 to the possibility of economic growth and improvement of the well-being of Russians due to environmental degradation, as well as their concern about environmental problems (air and water pollution, deforestation, etc.) is analyzed. A comparison of the data from two surveys on “Adolescent health and the environment” in 1996 and 2017 showed that despite the deepening environmental crisis, the proportion of adolescents had almost doubled over the past two decades (13.1% in 1996, compared to 24.1% in 2017) of those who fully or partially agreed with the prospect of Russia’s economic growth due to environmental pollution, by 9.4% of those who agreed that the welfare of the people should be improved to the detriment of it; in addition, the share of adolescents who expressed serious concern about environmental problems has decreased, and the participation of respondents in environmental movements remains at a low level. There is also a positive trend: over two decades, the proportion of those who never litter the streets or nature has almost tripled. The article also considers data of all-Russian adult population surveys, which show that in comparison with the 1990s, the anxiety of Russians about environmental problems in their places of residence has decreased. In some questions, young people are more complacent than the older generation, although there is no basis for this. In the West, schoolchildren are active in the fight against global warming. The mass of the movement suggests the impact of this activity from school environmental education and education for sustainable development, which is given insufficient attention in Russia.

During the past several years, a systematic search for novae in the Magellanic Clouds has been carried out at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The Curtis Schmidt telescope, on loan to CTIO from the University of Michigan is used to obtain plates every two weeks during the observing season. An objective prism is used on the telescope. This provides additional low-dispersion spectroscopic information when a nova is discovered. The plates cover an area of 5°x5°. One plate is sufficient to cover the Small Magellanic Cloud and four are taken of the Large Magellanic Cloud with an overlap so that the central bar is included on each plate. The methods used in the search have been described by Graham and Araya (1971). In the CTIO survey, 8 novae have been discovered in the Large Cloud but none in the Small Cloud. The survey was not carried out in 1974 or 1976. During 1974, one nova was discovered in the Small Cloud by MacConnell and Sanduleak (1974).

Support Facility

The University of Iowa Central Electron Microscopy Research Facility(CEMRF) was established in 1981 to support all faculty, staff and students needing this technology. Initially the CEMRF was operated with one TEM, one SEM, three staff members and supported about 30 projects a year. During the past twelve years, the facility has replaced all instrumentation pre-dating 1981, and now includes 2 TEM's, 2 SEM's, 2 EDS systems, cryo-transfer specimen holders for both TEM and SEM, 2 parafin microtomes, 4 ultamicrotomes including cryoultramicrotomy, a Laser Scanning Confocal microscope, a research grade light microscope, an Ion Mill, film and print processing equipment, a rapid cryo-freezer, freeze substitution apparatus, a freeze-fracture/etching system, vacuum evaporators, sputter coaters, a plasma asher, and is currently evaluating scanning probe microscopes for acquisition. The facility presently consists of 10 staff members and supports over 150 projects annually from 44 departments in 5 Colleges and 10 industrial laboratories. One of the unique strengths of the CEMRF is that both Biomedical and Physical scientists use the facility.

Summary: In the past suicidal behavior among Black South Africans has been largely underresearched. Earlier studies among the other main ethnic groups in the country showed suicidal behavior in those groups to be a serious problem. This article briefly reviews some of the more recent research on suicidal behavior in Black South Africans. The results indicate an apparent increase in suicidal behavior in this group. Several explanations are offered for the change in suicidal behavior in the reported clinical populations. This includes past difficulties for all South Africans to access health care facilities in the Apartheid (legal racial separation) era, and present difficulties of post-Apartheid transformation the South African society is undergoing, as the people struggle to come to terms with the deleterious effects of the former South African racial policies, related socio-cultural, socio-economic, and other pressures.
