Over the past decades, development of engineering sciences has incredibly contributed to advancements in medicine by production of numerous devices for diagnostics and treatment. In the middle of the twentieth century, a new scientific field, biomedical engineering (BE), was established, which has developed into an extremely complex scientific discipline requiring a distinctive educational profile. Various study programs in BE have been established at universities around the world but also at several universities in Serbia. Also, intensive research in this field is performed at several scientific institutions in Serbia. In the present paper short summaries of the research results of several groups of engineers and medical doctors are presented as an illustration of the wide field of BE research and possibilities of its application in diagnosis and therapy of various diseases.

Research In Mathematics Education

As mathematics education has become better established as a domain of scienti fic research (if not as a scientific discipline), exactly what this research is and what its results are have become less clear. The hi story of the past three International Congresses on Mathematical Education demonstrates the need for greater clarity. At the Budapest congress in 1988, in particular, there was a general feeling that mathematics educators from different parts of the world. countries, or even areas of the same country often talk past one another. There seems to be a lack of consensus on what it means to be a mathematics educator. Standards of scientific quality and the criteria for accepting a paper vary considerably among the more than 250 journals on mathematics education published throughout the world.

Artikel ini membahas kedudukan rempah-rempah sebagai bagian penting dari sejarah Indonesia dengan mengkajinya dari perspektif sejarah total. Komoditas seperti cengkeh dan pala yang dihasilkan di Kepulauan Maluku pada masa lalu pernah dihargai tinggi dalam ekonomi global. Eksplorasi pelayaran dari berbagai penjuru dunia demi mencari rempah-rempah lantas menciptakan “Jalur Rempah” yang menjadikan nusantara sebagai poros ekonomi global. Selain berpengaruh besar terhadap berbagai unsur kehidupan dalam lingkup global, eksplorasi rempah-rempah telah memicu temuan penting dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan, mulai dari Itinerario karya kartografi oleh Jan Huygen van  Linschoten hingga Herbarium Amboinense karya botanikal oleh Rumphius. Akan tetapi di balik itu, rempah-rempah memicu terjadinya praktik eksploitasi alam. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah total sebagaimana diterapkan oleh Fernand Braudel, artikel ini menyajikan  hubungan sejarah, politik dagang, budaya, alam, dan ilmu pengetahuan di balik eksplorasi dan eksploitasi rempah-rempah di Nusantara.       This article discusses spices as an important part of Indonesian history through the lens of total historical perspective. In the past, commodities such as cloves and nutmegs which grew in Moluccas Island have been highly valued in global economic trade. Sea voyage exploration from all over the world in quest of spices has created the “Spice Route” that makes nusantara became the axis of global economy. Besides very influential on so many aspects of life in global scope, the exploration of spices was also engendering the important discovery in scientific field ranging from from Itinerario, a cartographical work of Jan Huygen Linschoten to Herbarium Amboinense, a botanical work of Rumphius. Nevertheless, the exploration was also encourages the exploitation of nature. By applying total history approach as applied by Fernand Braudel, this article try to trace the connection of history, trade politics, culture, nature and science behind the story of exploration and exploitation of spices.

Instrument Control

Advances in camera technology and digital instrument control have meant that in modern microscopy, the image that was, in the past, typically recorded on a piece of film is now recorded directly into a computer. The transfer of the analog image seen in the microscope to the digitized picture in the computer does not mean, however, that the problems associated with recording images, analyzing them, and preparing them for publication, have all miraculously been solved. The steps involved in the recording an image to film remain largely intact in the digital world. The image is recorded, prepared for measurement in some way, analyzed, and then prepared for presentation.Digital image acquisition schemes are largely the realm of the microscope manufacturers, however, there are also a multitude of “homemade” acquisition systems in microscope laboratories around the world. It is not the mission of this tutorial to deal with the various acquisition systems, but rather to introduce the novice user to rudimentary image processing and measurement.

On the Symbolism of Rain in A Farewell to Arms

Farewell To Arms

This paper critically analyzes the symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929). The researcher has applied the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis as a research tool for the analysis of the text. This hypothesis argues that the languages spoken by a person determine how one observes this world and that the peculiarities encoded in each language are all different from one another. It affirms that speakers of different languages reflect the world in pretty different ways. Hemingway’s symbolic use of rain in A Farewell to Arms (1929) is denotative, connotative, and ironical. The narrator and protagonist, Frederick Henry symbolically embodies his own perceptions about the world around him. He time and again talks about rain when something embarrassing is about to ensue like disease, injury, arrest, retreat, defeat, escape, and even death. Secondly, Hemingway has connotatively used rain as a cleansing agent for washing the past memories out of his mind. Finally, the author has ironically used rain as a symbol when Henry insists on his love with Catherine Barkley while the latter being afraid of the rain finds herself dead in it.

The Way

The world-wide use of scleral contact lenses has dramatically increased over the past 10 year and has changed the way that we manage patients with corneal irregularity. Successfully fitting them can be challenging especially for eyes that have significant asymmetries of the cornea or sclera. The future of scleral lens fitting is utilizing corneo-scleral topography to accurately measure the anterior ocular surface and then using software to design lenses that identically match the scleral surface and evenly vault the cornea. This process allows the practitioner to efficiently fit a customized scleral lens that successfully provides the patient with comfortable wear and improved vision.

National Borders

Over the past century, democracy spread around the world in turbulent bursts of change, sweeping across national borders in dramatic cascades of revolution and reform. This book offers a new global-oriented explanation for this wavelike spread and retreat—not only of democracy but also of its twentieth-century rivals, fascism, and communism. The book argues that waves of regime change are driven by the aftermath of cataclysmic disruptions to the international system. These hegemonic shocks, marked by the sudden rise and fall of great powers, have been essential and often-neglected drivers of domestic transformations. Though rare and fleeting, they not only repeatedly alter the global hierarchy of powerful states but also create unique and powerful opportunities for sweeping national reforms—by triggering military impositions, swiftly changing the incentives of domestic actors, or transforming the basis of political legitimacy itself. As a result, the evolution of modern regimes cannot be fully understood without examining the consequences of clashes between great powers, which repeatedly—and often unsuccessfully—sought to cajole, inspire, and intimidate other states into joining their camps.
