<p><em>Gaguritan Cangak</em> is classified as a classic literature that can be studied in terms of themes, messages, and teachings contained in it. The <em>Gaguritan Cangak</em> theme is the impact of good and bad deeds, the message delivered does not quickly believe to the promises or sayings of others, always be wary of self-salvation, and believe in the truth of <em>karmaphala</em> law. The Hindu ethic in <em>Gaguritan Cangak</em> emphasizes the teachings of <em>karmaphala</em>, that any good deeds will be good deeds and bad deeds will be bad. The doctrine of good deeds of human deeds is known by the teachings of <em>Trikaya</em> <em>Parisudha</em> and Tri Mala.</p>

Good Deeds

Mohammad Taqi Amini is an erudite religious scholar and profoundthinker. He possesses an inquisitive mind which refuses to accept things attheir face value. He sets out to prove that the reconstruction of Islamic civilizationaims at striking a balance between the physical and the spiritual forcesinherent in men. He attempts an outline of the scheme of cultural reconstruction.Also, he mentions the effects and implications of Western civilizationon modern life and evaluates the impact of two conflicting ideologies.The author believes that for the manifestation of faith and the constructionof culture, the necessary good deeds are not mere rituals or outwardsigns of virtue. Good deeds, on the other hand, comprehend both the innerand outward facets of life and they comprehend the whole being of man.The inner life however, comes first; for without it a healthy community cannotcome into existence, nor can man's use of nature yield any common benefit.The author reveals that in the framework of Western civilizationmaterialism dominates, and materialism recognizes reason as the only sourceof knowledge. But according to the Islamic concept of cultural reconstruction,the spiritual dimension is the basis of everything and which recognizesthe combined guidance of reason, heart and revelation for the acquisitionof knowledge. In all spheres of life such a wholesome and all pervasive guidanceis needed. The guidance of one faculty is not enough.In Western culture, the essential nature of man is regarded as animalisticand therefore the nature of character is determined in terms of material powerand worldly gains. Only those qualities are valuable which have a direct bearingon worldly gains and material power. For example, in business, punctuality,patriotism, social sense, and natural interests are the criteria. On the otherhand, qualities which do not have any bearing on worldly gains are not valued.Rather, violation of these qualities is considered a merit. Qualities like modesty,chastity, affection, mutual friendship and love, caring for the family, generosityof heart, soft-heartedness, sincerity, humanity, and consideration for the rightsof others have no value for a Western mind.The Islamic scheme of cultural reconstruction, on the other hand, isbased on a Divine view of life. This view divides life into material and nonmaterialand insists that both are necessary for the perfection of humanity ...

Abstract Clinical ethics can be viewed as a practical discipline that provides a structured approach to assist healthcare practitioners in identifying, analysing and resolving ethical issues that arise in practice. Clinical ethics can therefore promote ethically sound clinical and organisational practices and decision-making, thereby contributing to health organisation and system quality improvement. In order to develop students’ decision-making skills, as well as prepare them for practice, we decided to introduce a clinical ethics strand within an undergraduate medical curriculum. We designed a programme of clinical ethics activities for teaching and assessment purposes that involved using ethical frameworks to analyse hypothetical and real-life cases in uni- and inter- professional groups. In this paper, we draw on medical student feedback collected over 6 years to illustrate the appeal to students of learning clinical ethics. We also outline the range of benefits for students, healthcare organisations, and the field of clinical ethics arising from tomorrow’s doctors experiencing clinical ethics early in their training. We conclude by briefly reflecting on how including clinical ethics within tomorrow’s doctors curricular can secure and continue future engagement in clinical ethics support services in the UK, alongside the dangers of preparing students for organisational cultures that might not (yet) exist. We anticipate the findings presented in the paper will contribute to wider debates examining the impact of ethics teaching, and its ability to inform future doctors’ practice.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.

The Impact

AbstractA large amount of CO has been detected above many SL9/Jupiter impacts. This gas was never detected before the collision. So, in our opinion, CO was released from a parent compound during the collision. We identify this compound as POM (polyoxymethylene), a formaldehyde (HCHO) polymer that, when suddenly heated, reformes monomeric HCHO. At temperatures higher than 1200°K HCHO cannot exist in molecular form and the most probable result of its decomposition is the formation of CO. At lower temperatures, HCHO can react with NH3 and/or HCN to form high UV-absorbing polymeric material. In our opinion, this kind of material has also to be taken in to account to explain the complex evolution of some SL9 impacts that we observed in CCD images taken with a blue filter.

AbstractHydrogen cyanide polymers – heterogeneous solids ranging in color from yellow to orange to brown to black – may be among the organic macromolecules most readily formed within the Solar System. The non-volatile black crust of comet Halley, for example, as well as the extensive orangebrown streaks in the atmosphere of Jupiter, might consist largely of such polymers synthesized from HCN formed by photolysis of methane and ammonia, the color observed depending on the concentration of HCN involved. Laboratory studies of these ubiquitous compounds point to the presence of polyamidine structures synthesized directly from hydrogen cyanide. These would be converted by water to polypeptides which can be further hydrolyzed to α-amino acids. Black polymers and multimers with conjugated ladder structures derived from HCN could also be formed and might well be the source of the many nitrogen heterocycles, adenine included, observed after pyrolysis. The dark brown color arising from the impacts of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter might therefore be mainly caused by the presence of HCN polymers, whether originally present, deposited by the impactor or synthesized directly from HCN. Spectroscopic detection of these predicted macromolecules and their hydrolytic and pyrolytic by-products would strengthen significantly the hypothesis that cyanide polymerization is a preferred pathway for prebiotic and extraterrestrial chemistry.

The Impact

Crushed and statically compressed Madagascar graphite that was explosively shocked at 425 kb by means of a planar flyer-plate is characterized by a black zone extending for 2 to 3 nun below the impact plane of the driver. Beyond this point, the material assumes the normal gray color of graphite. The thickness of the black zone is identical with the distance taken by the relaxation wave to overtake the compression wave.The main mechanical characteristic of the black material is its great hardness; steel scalpels and razor blades are readily blunted during attempts to cut it. An average microhardness value of 95-3 DPHN was obtained with a 10 kg load. This figure is a minimum because the indentations were usually cracked; 14.8 DPHN was measured in the gray zone.
