Abstract - Yogyakarta’s Keraton palace forms part of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) that has architectural values of high standing. Apart from this, the hall called Sri Manganti takes specific pride of place in this palace. The purpose of this research project is to reveal these architectural aspects through establishing their cultural significance, meaningful architectural elements and the conservational measures applied to this particular hall. The theories employed for this piece of research include the Capon theory, the Orbasli theory, the Feilden theory, the Forsythe theory, and finally the Javanese Tradition Architectural theory. The methods used consist of the descriptive and the qualitative method along with the architectural approach to the matter of the building’s form and function, and the local conservation of the various cultural meanings. The cultural significance of the Sri Manganti hall lies in the application of the Javanese architectural concept of Joglo Mangkurat (referring to the roof’s steep upper section) along with the hanging structure known as Lambung Gantung, aesthetic appreciation of Javanese culture and tradition and exhibition and performance of Javanese art. The architectural and aesthetic values can be discerned in its architectural components consisting of the fundament, floor, poles/pillars, supporting and upper wooden beams called ander & molo, ceiling, roof, various decorations and the general lay-out. A valuable building like this has apparently suffered from loss of quality in the components of its construction. This decline in quality could have been caused by the impact of the tropical climate, faulty maintenance and certain questionable human measures taken. On the other hand, it turns out that the change of function into an exhibition venue for art has actually brought added value in terms of the building’s usefulness.This building falls under the essential buildings that make up the Keraton palace, so its general condition needs to be properly maintained, both with the measures taken to adapt and conserve it for the future.Keywords: architectural value, aesthetic value, conservation, adaptation, preservation

Abstract Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Shreb.) has exceptional utility as a low maintenance lawn in the transition zone. However, during the summer smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.] infestations can reduce the aesthetic value and function of the turf and lead to a thinning of the tall fescue stand, noticeable after the crabgrass plants have senesced. Research was conducted to evaluate the impact of mowing height and nitrogen fertility on smooth crabgrass plant counts and tall fescue cover in Virginia Beach, VA. Plots were mowed at either 6 cm (2.5 in) or 10 cm (4 in) and received 49, 171, or 220 kg of nitrogen annually per hectare (44, 152, and 196 lb.A−1). Mowing at 10 cm with the highest level of fertility resulted in the most turfgrass cover among all the treatment combinations. Mowing at 10 cm as opposed to 6 cm resulted in less smooth crabgrass plants, regardless of nitrogen fertilization rate. Index words: fertilization, turfgrass, weed control. Species used in this study: Smooth crabgrass [Digitaria ischaemum (Schreb.) Schreb. ex Muhl.]; tall fescue [Festuca arundinacea Shreb. synonym Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub].

Over Time

This book examines how language works in democratic politics and how it impacts the effectiveness of policy. Using evidence from the first computer-assisted analysis of all 41.5 million words of legislation enacted from 1900 to 2015, it tracks the major changes in form and function that Parliament's use of language has undergone over time and the reasons for such changes. More importantly, it explores the policy and social implications of changes in legislative language as well as the issue of legislative indeterminacy. This introductory chapter discusses the questions, arguments and aims of the book and reviews the literature on the operation of language in British politics, along with the impact of legislative language on policy effectiveness. It also explains what specifically the book contributes to the existing literature, describes the research design, and provides an overview of the chapters that follow.

And Function

In general, the form and function of living plants reflect a requirement to maximize their interaction with the environment in order to harvest more effectively the energy and materials they require (Corner 1964). Thus, fluctuations in the aerial environment exert a considerable effect upon the physiology of the plant and lead to initiation of a range of responses. Changes in temperature are known to exert a pronounced effect on the growth of plants, and hence upon their productivity (Ong & Baker 1985). Most temperate species spend the majority of their life at mean temperatures below the optimum for their growth, and there are marked genetic differences between plant species in their ability to tolerate nonoptimal temperatures (Pollock & Eagles 1988). This review summarizes some of the ways in which plants are known to sense and respond to temperature change and discusses the potential for improving growth and performance at nonoptimal temperatures. Discussion concentrates upon temperate grasses and cereals because of their suitability as experimental material and because of their economic importance. Consequently, this review is largely concerned with responses to low temperatures, but some responses of tropical cereals to high temperatures are also described.

ABSTRACTThe study characterizes developmental trends in early Hebrew clause-combining (CC) by analyzing the interplay between linguistic form and communicative function in different interactional settings. Analysis applied to all utterances produced by three children aged 2;0–3;0 who combined two or more clauses, either self-initiated or on the basis of adult input. Ten types of CC were analyzed for marking by connectives (e.g. the Hebrew equivalents of ‘and’, ‘that’, ‘so’). Four shared consecutive developmental phases emerged: non-marking; partial marking by ‘and’ and ‘that’; use of ‘but’ and ‘because’, favored significantly in interlocutor-supported contexts; marking of adverbial relations and more varied use ofše-‘that’. These CC processes are interpreted as reflecting general properties of language development, in the form of gradually increasing specification of form–function relations under the impact of interlocutor–child interactive support combined with Hebrew-particular typological factors.

Abstract Background The B-Lite® lightweight breast implant (LWBI), weighs ~ 30% less than traditional silicone implants, while maintaining an equivalent size, form and function. The LWBI thus places less stress on breast tissues, preserves tissue stability and integrity over time, reducing weight-related complications and reoperation rates. Objectives To assess the long-term (over 5 year) safety and performance of the LWBI in primary and revision augmentation procedures. Methods Retrospective single-center, single surgeon analysis of prospectively collected data, was performed on 827 consecutive primary and revision augmentation patients operated between December 2013 and January 2019. 1653 implants (250-835 cc, mostly round, textured, extra high-profile) were implanted using standard surgical techniques. Direct physician-to-patient follow-up ranged from 6 to 67 months. Chart data on reoperations and overall complications as well as patient and surgeon satisfaction, were analyzed. Results The 5 year Per Patient Kaplan–Meier reoperation free rate was very high (97.1%). Only 2 out of 5 total cases of capsular contracture grade III required reoperation (KM rate 0.2%, CI- 0.1-1.0). No cases of rupture or BIA-ALCL were recorded. 94.9% of patients rated the aesthetic outcome, and 95.5% of patients rated the natural look and feel of their breasts, at 4-5 (Satisfied-Very Satisfied). Similarly, the surgeon rated 4-5 on 95.4% of the patients’ aesthetic outcomes. Conclusions The extremely favorable safety profile, high patient and surgeon satisfaction, and inherent benefits of reduced weight, in the largest known study of B-Lite® implant surgeries, should make the LWBI a strongly considered strategic alternative to traditional implants.

There is a whole wide diversity regarding how people adapt to the natural environment conditions and how they value or relate to their everyday objects and products; outside aesthetics or functionality, users appreciate utilitarian artifacts according to assorted perspectives and factors, including traditional, emotional, and cultural approaches. This paper is envisioned to propose a reflection regarding the value and significance of utilitarian handcrafted objects as a fundamental element of popular culture, associated with tradition, heritage, and folkloric preservation. Based on direct experience, photographic record, and assorted theoretical approaches, it was viable to generate a conceptual review and reflection considering the consumers’ appreciation of traditional handcrafted artifacts, understanding these implements’ value and significance beyond their form and function, as the cultural significance of handcrafted utilitarian, decorative and traditional products, as a crucial component of tangible and intangible heritages and identities in the American context.

Utomo’s novels are very related to the theme of religion and culture. The language used tends to be simple but still interesting and beautiful so research on the form and function of language style is very interesting. The purpose of this study is to describe the form and function of language style in the three Utomo novels. Data collection is done by heuristic techniques or read by repeatedly. Data analysis method used is hermeneutics. Almost all types of figurative language styles are found, but for the sake of effective exposure, only three data would be presented as examples of the form of language style and the function of language style. The three most found figurative languages are metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, and sinekdoke. The function of language also varies, starting from clarifying the picture, increasing the impression, shortening the narrative, and describing the character's feelings. Fulfillment of these functions with simple but beautiful forms of language style makes Utomo's novels have high aesthetic value and are easily understood by readers.
