Abstrak             Penelitian ini membahas karya sastra yang membawa isu alam dan lingkungan tereksploitasi melalui sistem pertanian sebagai sarana merawat bumi. Perusakan lingkungan pertanian Desa Kailasa merupakan pokok permasalahan tokoh Yahya dalam penyelamatan alam dan lingkungan. Adanya gerak komunal petani yang bersifat antroposentris membuka kontestasi untuk mengakses sumber daya alam. Alam dimanfaatkan untuk mendapatkan keuntungan besar, baik pihak petani maupun pihak lain yang berkepentingan, akan tetapi tidak ada keseimbangan area pertanian jangka panjang. Melalui sudut pandang ekokritik mencermati narasi penyelamatan ekosistem dalam kontestasi kepentingan ekologis. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori ekokritik yang bertolak pada pandangan Cheryll Goltfelty. Metode yang digunakan deskriptif kualitatif. Antroposentris membuat alam dan lingkungan Kailasa terdegradasi terlihat dari manusia yang mengekploitasi alam. Teridentifikasi masyarakat Kailasa mengalami pergeseran kesadaran eko ke kesadaran ego, perubahan tersebut dilatarbelakangi oleh hidup yang berorientasi pada materi untuk kepentingan ekonomi. Ada kecenderungan yang mengarah ke kesadaran eko, terlihat pada generasi baru setelah lima belas tahun terjadi kontestasi, akan tetapi hanya berubah pada tanaman polikultur (tanaman carika). Narasi yang diuraikan terlihat mewakili pemikiran ekosentrisme yang melindungi dari kejahatan antroposentris, akan tetapi terdapat paradoks dalam memperjuangkan ekosistem yang direpresentasikan. Teridentifikasi dari masyarakat Kailasa yang tetap menggunakan cara pandang antroposentris walaupun alam dan lingkungan telah mengalami degradasi. Kata Kunci : ekologi,  ekosistem, antroposentris, ekosentris, ekstensifikas, intensifikasi, kontestasi.     Abstract This research discusses a literature that brings the issue about nature and environmental issues exploited by a farming system as means of caring for the earth. Environment represented in the novel entitled Kailasa by Jusuf AN as a form of ecology criticism and how the narrative of ecosystem rescuse in the contestation of ecological. The purpose of this research is to identify environmental damage and what attitude that should be taken as an act of saving nature and the environment in contestation of acosystem diversity. The destruction of the agricultural environment of Kailasa Village is the main issue of Yahya's character in saving nature and the environment. The anthropocentric nature of farmers' communal movements opens contestation to access natural resources. Nature is used to gain big profits, both farmers and other interested parties, but there is no balance of long-term agricultural areas. Through an ecocritical point of view, look at the narrative of saving ecosystems in the contestation of ecological interests. This research uses an ecocritism in literature that depart from the view of Cheryll Goltfelty. The method used is descriptive kualitative to dissect the problem. Anthropocentric make Kailasa nature and environment degraded which can be seen from humans who exploit nature. It is identified that there is a shift of eco to ego consiousness in Kailasa communitty while the change is motivated by material-oriented life for the sake of the economy. After nature is degraded, there is a tendency to back eco consiousness. Seen in the new generation after fifteen years of contestation, but changed on polyculture plants (carica). Narrative described appears to represent the ecocentric thinking that protects evil anthropocentris, but there is a paradox in the struggle for represented ecosystems. It is identefied from Kailasa community that they keep the antrhoposentric perspective though nature and the environment has been degraded.Keywords: ecocritic, ecosistem, antrophocentric, ecocentric, extensification, intencification, contestation.

Abstract. Geosystemics (De Santis 2009, 2014) studies the Earth system as a whole focusing on the possible coupling among the Earth layers (the so called geo-layers), and using universal tools to integrate different methods that can be applied to multi-parameter data, often taken on different platforms. Its main objective is to understand the particular phenomenon of interest from a holistic point of view. In this paper we will deal with earthquakes, considered as a long term chain of processes involving, not only the interaction between different components of the Earth’s interior, but also the coupling of the solid earth with the above neutral and ionized atmosphere, and finally culminating with the main rupture along the fault of concern (De Santis et al., 2015a). Some case studies (particular emphasis is given to recent central Italy earthquakes) will be discussed in the frame of the geosystemic approach for better understanding the physics of the underlying complex dynamical system.

AbstractDue to its unique 400-year duration, the sunspot number is a central reference for understanding the long-term evolution of solar activity and its influence on the Earth environment and climate. Here, we outline current data recovery work. For the sunspot number, we find historical evidence of a disruption in the source observers occurring in 1947–48. For the sunpot group number, recent data confirm the clear southern predominance of sunspots during the Maunder Minimum, while the umbra-penumbra ratio is similar to other epochs. For the Dalton minimum, newly recovered historical observations confirm a higher activity level than in a true Grand Minimum.

Earthquakes are the most energetic phenomena in the lithosphere: their study and comprehension are greatly worth doing because of the obvious importance for society. Geosystemics intends to study the Earth system as a whole, looking at the possible couplings among the different geo-layers, i.e., from the earth’s interior to the above atmosphere. It uses specific universal tools to integrate different methods that can be applied to multi-parameter data, often taken on different platforms (e.g., ground, marine or satellite observations). Its main objective is to understand the particular phenomenon of interest from a holistic point of view. Central is the use of entropy, together with other physical quantities that will be introduced case by case. In this paper, we will deal with earthquakes, as final part of a long-term chain of processes involving, not only the interaction between different components of the Earth’s interior but also the coupling of the solid earth with the above neutral or ionized atmosphere, and finally culminating with the main rupture along the fault of concern. Particular emphasis will be given to some Italian seismic sequences.

<p>Earthquakes, the most energetic phenomena in the lithosphere, often cause danger and casualties: thus, their study and comprehension are greatly worth doing because of the obvious importance for society. Geosystemics intends to offer a way to study the Earth system by viewing it as a whole, looking at the possible couplings among the different geo-layers, i.e., from the earth’s interior up to the ionosphere through the atmosphere. It uses specific universal tools to integrate different methods that can be applied to multi-parameter data, often taken on different platforms (e.g., ground, marine or satellite observations). Its main aim is to understand the particular phenomenon of interest from a holistic point of view. Central is the use of entropy, together with other physical quantities that are introduced case by case.

<p>There wasn’t previously interested in environmental issues as in these days, the reason of what companies fouling , and affiliated factories  of remnants contribute significantly to the question of environmental chaos, and these remnants through a black mass overshadowed on the three levels of life, the core of the earth and what is owned of water as strategically store, the surface of the earth and all the creatures in addition to the human, the atmosphere which is the surface of our cosmic village, as a result of this situation the problem is exacerbated, and take a new dimension, and stages, it has become necessary that the global actors stand in front of this persist on our planet.</p><p>The Standard ISA 1010 came in order to be one of the most important methods that are working to reduce some cases, stop this going too far on the environmental by companies and its affiliates factories.</p><p>Where this standard checksum working together to raise the auditors, and opened the way for them, to understand the size and the large responsibility placed on their shoulders towards environmental issues and matters relating to health problems associated with them.</p>International Standard on Auditing in 1010 is not binding law, and not a system necessary to apply sharply and tough. But it is a bout bell ringing continuously in ear, heart and mind, the owner of origin, the factory Manager, administrators and auditors, that environmental damage is a collective responsibility, must commit with because when you bounce the side effects of the abuse of environmental issues we are the first to suffer them.

Our long term goal is to develop a new generation of robotic-prosthetic hands that will incorporate key anatomical features of the human hand, especially, the passive dynamics defined by the joint stifftness and damping properties. This paper presents a design of a mechanism that can measure the passive moment of the human hand joint. We designed a motor-driven system, integrating a noninvasive and infrared motion capture system, that can control and record the angle, angular velocity and passive forces of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint in the index finger. A total of 19 subjects participated in the experiments. We conducted two experiments to estimate the total passive moments of the MCP joint from the human subjects. The results showed that the novel design of the mechanism collected the precise passive moments and kinematic data, thus allowing us to develop a comprehensive understanding of the passive properties of the human hand joints.

BACKGROUND COVID-19 or coronavirus disease is seriously affecting the daily lifestyle of the inhabitants of the earth. It had already created so much disturbances in terms of lives as well as livelihood. SUMMARY The constantly changing epidemiology and its pathophysiology of the coronavirus also known as SARS-COV-2 is creating problems in designing the containment strategy. Symptoms have changes so far since its inception in Wuhan, china. Disease management has been not all success as high virulent nature of the novel coronavirus has left the health care infrastructure overwhelmed with millions of case. The long term implications are also staring in the eyes of the researchers and needs to be solved before gaining traction. CONCLUSION Highly uncertain nature of novel coronavirus has been demanded greater focus on constant research. More research needs to be done in order to catalogue all the features of the virus whether changing or constant.

Published in 2006, El viento de la luna is one of Muñoz Molina’s latest novels. Set in Mágina, a little town in the Andalusian province, in 1969, it’s the story of a boy of thirteen year old fascinated by the events of Apollo XI and its landing on the moon. His observation of the earth and the moon expresses an image of the reality made by a strange mixture of the present and the past, during the last years of Franco’s dictatorship. The inverted point of view proposed along the novel through the eyes of the boy opens a new and courageous way of seeing and perceiving events: with such a perspective, the moon looks at the earth and allows the consciousness of a new meaning and a new dimension about life.
