The background of this research comes from the public's understanding that the jlamprang motif is a typical Pekalongan batik motif, besides that there are also those who state that this motif is an imitation of the paṭola motif. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the transformation process of the patola woven motif into the jlamprang batik motif, one of the characteristic batik motifs of Pekalongan. Why can the weaving motif turn into a batik motif? Why does the jlamprang batik motif become the hallmark of Pekalongan? The method used in this research is to trace the trade of paṭola motif cloth from India and its distribution in Java, both in the form of the distribution of decorative motifs on temples and on cloth. The search was carried out through literary texts, decorative motifs on temple walls, and motifs of cloth worn by statues. The results showed that in Java the paṭola motif has undergone a transformation from a woven motif to a decorative motif on the temple walls to a batik motif. Jlamprang became the signature batik motif of Pekalongan because it was in this city that the motif was first developed by Arab traders to overcome the scarcity of paṭola woven motifs from India. Thus, it can be concluded that the Javanese society is an adaptive society, with local genius capable of processing foreign decorative motifs into their own motifs and making them a local identity.

Decorative motifs found in Hindu and Buddhist temples, usually are depicted on almost all parts of buildings. Decorative motif in the form of reliefs consisted of geometric ornaments, nature, plants, animals, and humans. Relief there is a series of panels connected to one another with stories taken shadow-play epic. Fables are also often depicted. Stories with animals as the main character containing morale for human’s life. Temple has 3 main parts, namely the base, body, and roof of the temple. In addition there is also a section called cornice and plinth. This serves as a separator between the three parts of the temple. To add beauty and give the impression of a slender building, then on cornice and plinth was carved decorative motif that surrounds the temple. The various decorative motifs will be discussed at length in this paper.

Abstract This study focuses on literary and sub-literary texts which present Egyptian scholars. I first look at outsider’s views (like the church-father Clement of Alexandria), borderline views (like the Egyptian priest Chairemon), and insider’s views. For the latter examination, two compositions are studied in more detail. The first is the Book of the Temple, which is a manual of the ideal Egyptian temple, including sections about the duties of several of its intellectual specialists. The second is the Ritual for Entering the Chamber of Darkness, which is a difficult text about the initiation to arcane religious knowledge and the mysteries of writing.

Most of the building of temples Hindu / Buddhist in Java, always equipped with statues as a symbol of the manifestation of the gods. These statues are usually placed in the temple chambers in accordance with their respective functions. One thing that is interesting about how to obtain the materials and manufacturing process performed by the artists sculpture carving during the Ancient Java era?. Therefore, the approach tries to uncover ethno-archaeology through ethnographic data. From these data, expected to be useful for science as well as add insight for anyone who wants to know about the 'secret' making of the statues in the Java-Kuna. Our ancestors have proven that they have the genius of local identity and identity as a cultural and civilized nation.

The structural changes during reversible martensitic transformation of near-equiatomic NiTi alloys can best be studied in TEM at around room temperature. Ternary additions like Mn offer this possibility by suppressing the Ms temperature below RT. Besides the stable intermetallic phases (Ti2Ni, TiNi, TiNi3) several metastable phases with various crystallographic structures (rhombohedral, hexagonal, monoclinic, cubic) have also been reported to precipitate due to suitable annealing procedures.TiNi:Mn samples with 0.9 and 1.3 at% Mn were arc melted in argon atmosphere and homogenized at 948 °C for 72 hours in high vacuum in an infrared furnace. After spark cutting slices of 0.2 mm, TEM specimens were prepared by electrochemical polishing with the twin-jet technique in methanol - perchloric acid electrolyte. The TEM study was carried out in a JEOL 200 CX analytical electron microscope.In this paper a new intermetallic phase is reported which has been observed in both samples by TEM during the martensitic transformation process.

Members of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation have committed themselves to measure and improve safety culture within their organizations by 2013 ( CANSO, 2010 ). This paper attempts to offer support to air navigation service providers that have already implemented a standardized safety culture survey approach, in the process of transforming their safety culture based on existing survey results. First, an overview of the state of the art with respect to safety culture is presented. Then the application of the CANSO safety culture model from theory into practice is demonstrated based on four selected case studies. Finally, a summary of practical examples for driving safety culture change is provided, and critical success factors supporting the safety culture transformation process are discussed.
