<p>One of the truths implied in Scripture Veda is the doctrine or concept of cosmology (creation of the universe). Cosmology is one of the important knowledge in Hinduism, because cosmology not only provides knowledge about the creation of the universe, cosmology can further explain the nature of actual human will, which is still difficult to understand.</p><p>Doctrine cosmology in Bali is expressed in local theology. Particularly lontar or texts Siwaistik always focuses on the teachings or knowledge of the Lord (Shiva) and knowledge of the way to achieve them as well as the creation of the universe, be it Bhuana Agung or Bhuana Alit.</p><p>For this reason the right knowledge and also appropriately implement this concept, in particular the concept of Hindu cosmology in the text Bhuana Kosa very important to understanding in daily life towards a harmonious life and increased devotion to God.</p><p>The concept of Hindu cosmology In the Text Bhuana Kosa is taking the concept of Tattwa Rudra.

<p>The truth in daily life is certainly a wholeness in implementing the tattwa, ethics and acara of Hinduism as tri basic framework of Hinduism in Bali. This is because until now the implementation of the teaching trilogy is still running and standing alone in an incomplete and comprehensive manner. Sometimes it is found in the field of implementation of acaras and ethics are not equipped with tattwa philosophy in it. So that the knowledge of the people will be more rooted and rely on the basic concept indeed. This of course will increasingly corner the minds of the people about the doctrine that is not fundamental.</p><p>One of the truths of tattwa written in the Vedic Scriptures is the concept of cosmology or the creation of the universe. Cosmology is one of the important knowledge in Hinduism, because cosmology not only provides knowledge about the creation of the universe, furthermore cosmology can explain the true nature of human beings, which so far is still very difficult to obtain. In Bali, this cosmological teaching is implied in local theology. Local theology that lived and developed in Bali until now is imbued with the teachings of the Vedic scriptures. Especially Siwaistic texts that always put forward the teachings of knowledge about the reality of God, the way to reach Him and the creation of the universe, both great bhuana agung and bhuana alit.</p>

Philosophy, which is considered to be the first driving force for the birth of various scientific studies, is also in the development of the Science Falak. The Science of Falak Studies examines the basic concepts of the creation of the universe in various scientific theories. In philosophical studies, the creation of the universe was also discussed by natural philosophers even several centuries ago before the term Falak Science was invented. Likewise, when discussing the movement of celestial bodies, the rotation of the earth, the Islamic calendar, determining the direction of the Qibla, and the entry of prayer times. If it is related to the study of philosophy, long before the year Christ was discovered, the content of astronomy has been widely discussed even though it is still limited to authentic thinking and its philosophical foundation. So it is very relevant if studying Falak science is synergized with philosophical thinking so that the basic content of Falak science can be digested in a complex manner. Furthermore, if the philosophical concept related to the systematics of Falak Science can be accepted, it will be transformed in determining the right policies for the socio-religious life of society, especially the private practice of Muslims. By constructing the substance of philosophy and Science of Falak will give birth to an effective formula for a more moderate and contextual concept of religion.

The following discussion tries to identify the key factors and mechanisms for the management of IP in research and development (R&D). Considering some experiences gathered from different players in R&D, particularly institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, a significant correlating starting point can be detected for the various R&D cooperation and schemes: By relying on a solid IP basis, R&D players can choose the most appropriate R&D cooperation and commercialization schemes to deal with meet their individual situations. The way of choosing a course is a matter of using the most individual IP management methods, a matter of puzzling, promising technologies with appropriate partnerships — at the right time. Diverse as these methods of choice are, there are nevertheless some basic considerations for IP management which may help to meet the challenges of the complex and demanding puzzling task. Most important seem to be continuous and diligent care for own IP, the creation and fostering of sustainable and enduring R&D networks, and the assessment of marketing chances. As practice shows, balanced and flexible cooperation between the research community and industry often proves to be the key to joint progress and, in the end, to successful innovation.

It has become a commonplace if not a truism to assert that the unprecedented development of digital technologies has radically changed our lives. However, the rapidity with which technical possibilities multiply does not seem to be accompanied by the constant examination, by the creation and re-creation of the ends to which those means must be subject, especially in the field of education. For there is no reason to imagine that the “spontaneous socialization” promoted by simple access to the network does not follow the colors of conformity that prevail in our societies. For this reason, the main objective of this dossier is to contribute to the criticism of the discourses and representations that rules our daily life with technology, naturalizing the logics that should be the subject of our careful evaluation, in order to open the way to the invention of practices, policies, and programs of distance education that, renewing the uses of technology, point out to us new perspectives for the democratic formation of the citizens.

I often have heard boxing fans remark that the prize ring reveals life the way it really is. The elemental combat between two individuals, the primal physical struggle, the quest for glory and fear of humiliation, all contribute to the belief that men in the ring are in touch with life's underlying realities. Significantly, depicting “life the way it really is” is precisely the role anthropologist Clifford Geertz ascribes to religious worldviews. Religions, Geertz tells us, do not just buttress social systems or justify conditions as men and women find them. They also explain the way the world works, cut behind surface appearances, and offer visions of underlying order which give meaning to daily life. Through drama and ritual, religion depicts the “really real” with idealized clarity. Religious symbols unmask the way the universe is in sheer actuality and demonstrate the moving forces behind mundane affairs. The truism that America's popular religion is sports takes on new significance in light of Geertz' observation. And in the pantheon of the 1920s, no gods shone more brightly than the heroes of the ring.

Early Christian authors were challenged by the impenetrable question of the origin of the world, but persevered in tracing the creation of the universe back to the one and only God. Part of their response was to defend the truth of God, the Father and Creator by meditating and commenting on the biblical account of the six days of creation. The commentaries on the Hexameron which we have are by Theophilus of Antioch and Clement of Alexandria. Theophilus, author of the oldest commentary on Genesis 1:1-25, pursues a primarily apologetic aim in favour of Christian monotheism and of faith in God who, through his Logos, is the Creator of all things; Clement, through statements scattered throughout his works, confirms in opposition to Gnostic-Marcionite ditheism that God the Father, working through the Logos, created the universe according to a plan of salvation whose fulfillment will be redemption at the end of time. Exegesis is combined with theology and – on the basis of a philosophical substratum which also includes predominantly Judaic traditions – translates into principles which will later open the way to protological reflection.

Using the right representation in the evaluation of the creation probability of the universe, one can show that the external dimension of the Freund–Rubin model is min (s,n-s), where s is the rank of the antisymmetric field strength in the model.

Artikel 2 van die Nederlandse Geloofsbelydenis bely dat God deur twee middele geken word, te wete deur middel van die skepping, onderhouding en regering van die wêreld (waaronder die wetenskap) en deur die heilige en goddelike Woord (die Bybel). Hierdie belydenis is van groot belang vir die gesprek tussen Wetenskap en Teologie. In hierdie artikel word gepoog om die verskille, maar ook die ooreenkomste tussen hierdie twee middele van openbaring uit te lig, elkeen tot sy reg te laat kom, maar hulle ook in balans met mekaar te stel. Die wyse waarop te werk gegaan word, is die volgende: eers word gestel wat vooronderstellings is, asook die plek wat vooronderstellings in die beoefening van wetenskap sowel as geloof inneem. Daarna word nagevors watter perspektiewe artikel 2 van die Nederlandse Geloofsbelydenis as geloofsvooronderstelling vir die wetenskaps- en teologiebeoefening respektiewelik bied. Hieruit word ’n aantal gevolgtrekkings gemaak wat kan help om die problematiek in die wetenskap-geloofsgesprek op te los. Die kernbevinding van hierdie artikel is die volgende: Vanweë die verskil in die aard en die doel tussen Bybelfeite en wetenskaplike navorsingsresultate kan en sal klaarblyklike harmonieprobleme tussen die Skrif en die wetenskap ontstaan. Hierdie is egter slegs klaarblyklike probleme, omdat ’n verrekening van die verskil in die aard en die bedoeling van die wetenskapresultate en die Bybelfeite hierdie probleem sal oplos.Article 2 of the Belgic Confession as faith presupposition in the science-faith debate. Article 2 of the Belgic Confession confesses that God can be known by two means: firstly by studying the creation, preservation and government of the universe (i.e. science) and secondly by studying the Word of God (the Bible). This confession is very important for the discussion between science and faith. In this article the similarities, but also the differences between these two means of revelation are researched. The aim is to set them in balance and in order to let each one come to its own right. The way the research is done is as follows: In the first place the role of presuppositions in both science and faith are determined. Secondly research is done on the perspectives obtained for both science and faith when Article 2 of the Belgic Confession is taken as a faith presupposition. Finally conclusions are made in helping to resolve the differences in the science-faith debate. The main finding is that harmony problems between facts from the Bible and scientific results will occur because of the difference in nature and meaning between these two entities. However, when the set difference in nature and meaning are taken into account, these problems can be resolved.

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.

The 1948 Nakba has, in light of the 1993 Oslo Accords and Palestinian refugee activists' mobilisation around the right of return, taken on a new-found centrality and importance in Palestinian refugee communities. Closely-related to this, members of the ‘Generation of Palestine’, the only individuals who can recollect Nakba memories, have come to be seen as the guardians of memories that are eventually to reclaim the homeland. These historical, social and political realities are deeply rooted in the ways in which the few remaining members of the generation of Palestine recollect 1948. Moreover, as members of communities that were destroyed in Palestine, and whose common and temporal and spatial frameworks were non-linearly constituted anew in Syria, one of the multiples meanings of the Nakba today can be found in the way the refugee communities perceive and define this generation.
