The Impact

This study aims to reveal the extent of openness of communication carried out among students of the Da'wah Faculty and UINSU communication and its impact on worship activities carried out by these students. Observations and interviews are techniques used to collect data in this study. Triangulation analysis method is also used to analyze the data obtained from respondents, descriptive analysis research method applied in this study. From 30 respondents taken with a percentage of 20 female respondents and 10 male respondents it was found that social media activities through Facebook had a special attraction and increased their confidence in communication. The impact felt by the respondents was more to the shift in the discipline of worship that they did when cool communicating with their virtual friends, recitations of the Koran that are usually done before prayer time arrives multiplied by the fun they are chatting, status updates or just looking at their Facebook wall.

Obaku Zen

This chapter explores the cultural identity of Ōbaku Zen, which played a crucial role in the sixteenth century as a vehicle for importing Chinese culture. This was manifested in Manpukuji’s initial trove of material culture associated with the temple’s founder, Ingen Ryūki (Ch. Yinyuan Longqi, 1592–1684). It also touches upon the reception and legacy of Ingen’s material objects to demonstrate how naturalized into Japanese life Ōbaku’s presence became. This greatly affected other sectarian traditions and even diverse aspects of Japanese intellectual and artistic life and popular culture outside the religious sphere from the Tokugawa era up to the present.

Abstract. We have developed a new method to determine ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations observed by the Texas A&M University continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) under a wide range of operating conditions. In this study, we evaluate differences in particle optical properties detected by the Cloud and Aerosol Spectrometer with POLarization (CASPOL) to differentiate between ice crystals, droplets, and aerosols. The depolarization signal from the CASPOL instrument is used to determine the occurrence of water droplet breakthrough (WDBT) conditions in the CFDC. The standard procedure for determining INP concentration is to count all particles that have grown beyond a nominal size cutoff as ice crystals. During WDBT this procedure overestimates INP concentration, because large droplets are miscounted as ice crystals. Here we design a new analysis method based on depolarization ratio that can extend the range of operating conditions of the CFDC. The method agrees reasonably well with the traditional method under non-WDBT conditions with a mean percent error of ±32.1 %. Additionally, a comparison with the Colorado State University CFDC shows that the new analysis method can be used reliably during WDBT conditions.

This article is dedicated to an analysis of Russian cultural borrowings from the Natives of Alaska and Aleutian Islands during the second half of the 18th century until 1867, when these territories were sold to the USA. As this research shows, the Russians, in the process of their colonization of the New World, borrowed objects of a predominantly utilitarian character in the sphere of material culture. Most of these borrowings took place in the 18th century, when the Russians had weak connections with the metropolis and there was a scarcity of European goods. The spiritual culture of the Natives, with the exception of some linguistic borrowings, chiefly of a toponymic character, remained outside the cultural circle of the immigrants from Russia.

Ontological Concept

AbstractThe author notes that European spiritual culture has provided the world with two great myths: the myth of Jesus Christ and the Promethean myth. These two myths were an early indication of the rise of the hidden predatory spiritual paradigm. As a result of this paradigm (setting), later culture hypertrophically strengthened the human genetic predisposition towards an aggressive adaptive strategy. It is therefore necessary, according to the author, to expose and criticize this predatory paradigm and eventually transform it into a biophilic paradigm. If we want to understand this requirement, we need a higher-order theory, an evolutionary ontological theory of culture. One of the ways of achieving this objective is to weaken and criticize the myth in which the defiant Prometheus acts as an honored civilization hero. In the second part the author briefly introduces his evolutionary-ontological concept of culture. He defends the claim that culture is an artificial system with its own internal information and that two types of order have come into existence within culture in harmony with this information (spiritual culture): 1. strictly information-prescribed structures (specifically the material culture and technology), 2. Spontaneously (through succession) originating structures (especially institutions). If we want to change the orientation of the cultural system, we have to change not only its current information but also its former spiritual setting (paradigm).

The Relationship

This study examines a subsample of the ceramic jar collection from the prehistoric Schild Cemetery of west-central Illinois to explore the possibility of identifying changing cultural identity in situations of culture contact and interaction. The relationship between ceramic vessels (and other types of material culture) with cultural identity is often studied, but in cases of cultural interaction or marriage between members of distinct groups, archaeological assemblages may prove incompatible to categorizations utilizing traditional typologies. This work presents a quantitative analysis of ceramic style to characterize prehistoric cultural interaction, a methodology which complements traditional typological analysis. The time period in question (ca. A.D. 1100) was one of broad social and political change in the region in which interaction, and likely intermarriage, took place between individuals from Late Woodland and Mississippian societies.

Studies of creole material cultures in historical archaeological frameworks in the Americas and Caribbean from the sixteenth century onwards emphasise the diversity and dynamism of cultural traits that are rooted in a range of different backgrounds: indigenous, African and European. Using a case study based upon recent historical and multidisciplinary archaeological research in north-western Barbados, this paper seeks to chart the development of a distinct vernacular Barbadian creole material culture over the period 1650–1900. It is argued here that the evolution of a strong and characteristic local cultural identity, as evidenced by recent archaeological research, counters the usual perception, common among historians of the period, that the plantocracy and its associated agents merely sought to reproduce English culture in the tropics. In fact the cultural picture as presented here is far more nuanced, and has implications for wider historical archaeological studies in the region.

AbstrakKajian tentang ingatan budaya menekankan bahwa ingatan kita ternyata sangat selektif. Ingatan budaya dapat dikomunikasikan melalui media tertentu. Media-media tersebut dapat berupa bentuk budaya material yang paling dasar misalnya pidato lisan, cerita kakek tentang masa lalu, dan dapat pula berupa budaya material yang biasanya memiliki wujud dan beroperasi melalui sistem simbolik seperti monumen, foto sejarah, lukisan, film dokumenter, novel historis, dan bangunan-bangunan sejarah. Dengan demikian, karya sastra dapat ditempatkan sebagai salah satu budaya material. Mengingat eratnya keterkaitan ingatan budaya dengan budaya material, tulisan ini berupaya mengungkap bagaimana budaya material dan pembentukan ingatan budaya dapat menjadi kajian yang menarik dalam penelitian sastra. Tulisan ini mengungkap bagaimana representasi ingatan budaya tokoh pahlawan nasional di dalam berbagai budaya material, termasuk karya sastra. Representasi ini terkait dengan identitas budaya tokoh pahlawan nasional tersebut yang menjadi bagian dari ingatan budaya masyarakat Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapatnya perbedaan yang cukup siginfikan dalam representasi tokoh pahlawan nasional dalam masing-masing budaya material, terkait identitas budaya yang dihadirkan. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ‘cara mengingat’ mempengaruhi pembentukan budaya material termasuk karya sastra dan identitas budaya terhadap tokoh pahlawan nasional yang pernah hidup di suatu masa.Kata kunci: budaya material, ingatan budaya, penelitian sastra sejarah, konstruksi identitas AbstractThe focus of cultural memory studies emphasizes on our selective memory. Cultural memory would be communicated by certain media. These media can These media can be the most basic forms of material culture such as oral speech, grandfather's story about the past, and can also be a material culture that usually has a form and operates through a symbolic system such as monuments, historical photographs, paintings, documentaries, historical novels, and historical buildings. Thus, literary works can be placed as one of material culture. Considering the close relationship between cultural memories and material culture, this paper seeks to reveal how material culture and the formation of cultural memories can be interesting studies in literary research. This paper will reveal how the cultural memory representation of national hero figures in various material cultures, including literary works. This representation is related to the cultural identity of the national hero who takes part of the cultural memories of the Indonesian people. The results showed that there were significant differences in the representation of national hero figures in each material culture, related to the cultural identity presented. Thus, it can be concluded that the 'way of remembering' influences the formation of material culture including literary works and cultural identity of national hero figures who have lived at a time.Keywords: material culture, cultural memory, the research of historical literature, identity construction
