Most developed communities, such as Japan, the European Union and the USA, are experiencing a shortage of sites for waste disposal facilities (WDFs) (e.g. Alter 1991; Schall 1992; Chilton 1993; Ikeguchi 1994; Anon. 1994; Berenyi 1996; European Commission 1999). Strong control of local public bodies over site selection decisions and public opposition appear to be the chief causes (Schall 1992; Charles 1993; Capua & Magagni 2000). Recently, in the USA adequate landfill capacity has been ensured, but mainly because of the ease of planning permission for new very large regional landfills (Berenyi 1999). This further illustrates the artificial nature of waste disposal site availability.

Fifteen years ago I read before this Society a paper treating of “the languages of the Early Inhabitants of Mesopotamia,” in which I expressed my conviction that the non-Semitic dialects (for there are at least two closely-allied idioms) spoken in that district, revealed to us by the Babylonian and Assyrian inscriptions, were really languages, and not cryptographies or “allographic systems of writing,” as they were called by those who favoured the theory of the artificial nature of the script employed.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to find out how the directions regarding the arrangement of street vendors on Manakarra Beach, Mamuju City. Regency. Mamuju. The variables used consisted of 4, namely: (1) Policy; (2) Education Level; (3) Economic level; (4) Supervision. The analytical method used is in the form of qualitative descriptive analysis and multiple linear analysis.Manakarra Beach is an Artificial Nature Tourism Object in the form of a beach located on Jl. Yos Sudarso, Kel. Rimuku, Kec. Mamuju, Kab. Mamuju, which is the center of Mamuju City. Departing from the description above where the focus of this research is the street vendors (PKL) who are on Manakarra Beach itself. Where the street vendors (PKL) sell on the shoulder of the road and sidewalk, so that there is a need for an effort to organize and supervise so that the street vendor activities do not interfere with the activities and mobility of the population or the community on Jalan Yos Sudarso. In addition, there is also a lack of awareness of tourists on Manakarra Beach towards the surrounding environment, this is evidenced by the presence of food packages and plastic bottles scattered at several points on Mankarra Beach. This of course was also praised by the existence of street vendors on Manakarra Beach itself. So that better structuring and supervision measures are needed.   Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana arahan tentang Penataan Pedagang Kaki Lima di Pantai Manakarra, Kota Mamuju. Kab. Mamuju. Variabel yang digunakan terdiri dari 4 yaitu: (1) Kebijakan; (2) Tingkat Pendidikan; (3) tingkat Ekonomi; (4) Pengawasan. Metode analisis yang digunakan berupa analisis dekriptif kualitatif dan analisis linier berganda. Pantai Manakarra Merupakan Objek Wisata Alam Buatan berupa pantai yang terletak di Jl. Yos Sudarso, Kel. Rimuku, Kec. Mamuju, Kab. Mamuju, yang merupakan pusat Kota Mamuju. Berangkat dari uraian diatas dimana yang menjadi fokus penelitian ini yaitu Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL) yang berada di Pantai Manakarra itu sendiri. Dimana Pedagang Kaki Lima (PKL) tersebut berjualan di bahu jalan dan trotoar, sehingga perlunya bentuk upaya penataan dan pengawasan agar kegiatan PKL tersebut tidak menggangu aktivitas dan mobilitas penduduk atau masyarakat di Jalan Yos Sudarso. Selain itu juga kurangnya kesadaran wisatawan di Pantai Manakarra terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya, hal ini dibuktikan oleh adanya bungkusan makanan serta botol plastik yang berserakan dibeberapa titik di Pantai Mankarra. Hal ini tentunya dipengaruji juga oleh adanya PKL di Pantai Manakarra itu sendiri. Sehingga diperlukan tindakan penataan dan pengawasan yang lebih baik.

The Grotesque

Chapter 9 begins studying Alfred Schnittke’s lengthy retreat from polystylism by looking at several of his key compositions from the 1980s, among them his Piano Sonata no. 2, Violin Concerto no. 4, String Trio, and Viola Concerto. In these works, polystylism began to fade as Schnittke emphasized the grotesque, artificial nature of his quotations. He also began speaking more about what he called “shadow sounds,” which soon took precedence in his aesthetic schema, largely replacing polystylism. Yet by the end of the 1980s, as polystylism dissipated, it remained a central category for critics and listeners. Schnittke himself became more unrooted; he emigrated from the USSR to Germany but continued to express a deep ambivalence about his true home.

AbstractArtificial polymeric additives are known, and experimentally proven, to be effective drag reducing agents in pipelines with turbulent flow medium. The artificial nature of these additives and their low resistance to high shear forces, exerted by the pipeline geometries and equipment, are considered as major problems against a wider implementation in other industrial applications. The present work introduces a new polymer-surfactant complex of two organic additives (chitosan and sodium laurel ether sulfate, SLES) as a drag reducing agent. The rheological and morphological properties of the new complexes were experimentally tested. The new complex’s drag reduction performance and stability against high shear forces were analyzed using rotating disk apparatus. All the investigated solutions and complexes showed a non-Newtonian behavior. The cryo-TEM images showed a unique polymer-surfactant macrocomplex structure with a nonlinear relationship between its rheological properties and surfactant concentration. A maximum flow enhancement of 47.75% was obtained by the complex (chitosan 300 and 400ppmof chitosan and SLES, respectively) at the rotation speed of 3000 rpm. Finally, the stability of the proposed additives was highly modified when the additive complexes were formed.

Processing Techniques

We develop the hypothesis that textile and nature have much in common and that in a time of biomimetics textile is a unique class of material that provides a bridge between artefacts, by definition synthetic, and biofacts - material entities found in and produced by nature, i.e. non-synthetic. Furthermore we formulate the (seemingly) contradictorily concept of Artificial Nature. Biomimetics sometimes emphasize the inspirational aspects so that science and technology get input from biology for new technological development for new artefacts. Artificial Nature instead emphasizes the other way around; adding sound, ecology based, technology to nature and in nature for enhancing ecosystem functions.Some characteristics of natural biofact materials and structures include pliability, softness, porosity, light weight, recyclability, and periodicity. Textiles are soft, foldable, of low weight, inherent porous, anisotropic as well as periodic, easily compatible with biodegradability and recyclability. Thus there are many similarities. These are discussed together with a number of cases where textiles are mimicking biofacts. We first look at synthetic see grass (Zostera marina) for remediation of one of the most important biotopes in the world where we show that textile processing techniques are able to make production efficient. Then we look at artificial leaves, i.e. photon collecting flexible patches and indicate the textile realization of such. One of the most valuable ecosystem services is the provision of clean water and maintaining a low degree of pollution in water is of outmost importance. Textile based water purification systems has been constructed and merged with fungus (Zygomycetes) we show the potential for enhancing wet land capability.

Cultural Theorist

Literary and Cultural Theorist Terry Eagleton argues that “the aesthetic” was from its very inception a development toward a representation of human subjectivity. For Eagleton, the discourse of aesthetics assigned the body to “a subtly oppressive law … a specious form of universalism … [that] blocks and mystifies the real political movement towards … community.” The aesthetic became a “coercion to hegemony,” by informing and regulating sensuous life while at the same time allowing for what seemed like a prospering autonomy. For Eagleton, aesthetics is not ultimately concerned with art objects but with the project of “reconstructing the human subject from the inside.” Autonomy, as it has been described by many theories of the aesthetic, becomes for many a desirable model of independent subjectivity and individual subjective experience. Even though aesthetics works on the subject “from the inside,” as Eagleton writes, it does so through material means. Architecture, art theory, and curatorial practices provide other instances of what Eagleton describes as “apparatuses” of power in the cultural field. One of the things I want to suggest is that cultural practices represent possibilities for subjectivity. Critical, architectural, and museological representations seem to concern artistic production, but also function as subtle suggestions about what it means to be human. These practices work to affect the formation of subjects by attempting to limit and pre-scribe the possibilities for subjectivity. Joel Fineman has similarly argued that subjectivity is constructed from “subjectivity effects” that are in turn produced in a web of discourses. One of Fineman's primary concerns is for how rhetoric can be used to establish compelling and realistic representations of subjectivity, while providing evidence of the artificial nature of the subject at the same time.

Artificial Nature

A recent critical study of a number of species of Ludius Esch. has shown that considerable confusion exists in collections of the group, due largely to lack of adequate descriptions of the various species and to the artificial nature of the classification now in use. The genus Ludius, as now recognized in the American literature, is not a true genus in any natural sense, but is, rather, a heterogeneous group of species the natural affinities of which are not known. For purposes of classification, the species have been grouped primarily by characters of the antennae.
