Indonesia is a country that has a diverse form of arts and cultures, one of which is the art of mask that grows and develops in various regions. Masks in a broad sense vary greatly from shape, function, and materials for which they are made. The need for the use of masks is often found in artistic, ritual, religious, health, and performance activities. The tradition of mask in Indonesia has existed since before the history of writing. Masks are believed to represent the spirits of the deceased and are often decorated with human and animal forms to symbolize the supernatural world and the relationship between humans and their origins. This paper explored the form of mask, specifically the Surakarta mask as a source of idea in batik motif creation. The batik motif was made by stylization of the mask using remasol dye and colet technique, resulting in five batik clothes that are cut and sewn into women casual clothes. By turning Surakarta mask batik motif into casual clothing, the clothes made can introduce the art of mask in Surakarta to the wider community, preserving both the art of mask and the art of batik as a high value tradition full of local wisdom.

Scripts are sites of religious, cultural and political power. Although scripts are often viewed solely as technical devices in the service of meaning, the particular histories of scripts’ coming into being, their uses and sometimes disappearance can tell us much about shifting religious agendas, memory, and attachments to community, place, and particular literary cultures. In my essay I explore the history of writing in Java, including the story of the letters’ creation, to think about cultural and religious transformations, the relationship of foreign to local, and the powerful hold certain texts have on the imagination.

Grammatology is traditionally a field of linguistics that establishes and studies the relationship between the letters of the alphabet and the sounds of speech. Grammatology as a branch of linguistics appeared long ago, almost simultaneously with linguistics. Along with language education, it is considered as a philosophical, special cognitive discipline that has significance. The study of grammatology is related to the culture of writing words. That is, the doctrine that provides for the recognition of society in the history of writing and culture. In this regard, the article analyzes the fundamental concepts related to the field of grammatology, language terms related to grammatology. Many terms used in the field of graphic linguistics have different semantic content. This depends on the traditions of the linguistic school. In this regard, the article analyzes the relationship and differences between the system of fundamental knowledge as grapheme, graphics and spelling. Internal components like graphics and spelling are considered with the main language aspect of grammatology. Because they are directly related to the problem of writing. They are inseparable, interdependent categories that cannot be one another. If the graphics regulate the spelling marking system, the spelling provides for the permanent position of the marked spelling.

This chapter surveys the history of Russian translations of Golden Age Spanish theatre from the early 18th century until now, with a special focus on the relationship between translation trends and performance history. Our main goal is not only to document all known Russian translations of Spanish classical plays completed in the past 300 years, but also to elucidate the processes by which translation took part in the development and transformation of a specifically Russian comedia canon.

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a trajetória da relação entre o desempenho da Marinha Mercante Brasileira e a conta dos transportes (fretes) do Balanço de Pagamentos entre 1985 e 2010 que envolve o período de forte ajuste fiscal Estado e a retomada o desenvolvimentismo. As mudanças nas políticas destinadas à Marinha Mercante no Brasil, sobretudo pós-1990, alteraram o resultado da conta dos transportes, aumentando as suas despesas. O artigo está dividido em cinco tópicos. Inicialmente, traz uma breve trajetória da Marinha Mercante e da construção naval brasileira, destacando sua expansão e seu desmonte parcial. No segundo momento, será apresentada a atual retomada das atividades do setor brasileiro de navegação, com destaque para as metas definidas no Programa de Aceleração de Crescimento 2006-2010. Em seguida, traçaremos um panorama geral da relação entre abertura a comercial e a frota mercante nacional. No quarto tópico será analisada especificamente a conta dos transportes e o desempenho da Marinha Mercante pós-1985. E, por último, uma breve reflexão.Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the trajectory of the relationship between the performance of the Brazilian merchant marine and the account of the “freight” Balance of Payments between 1985 and 2010. The changes in policies for the merchant navy in Brazil, especially after 1990, profoundly altered the outcome of the account of the “freight”, increasing their costs. The article is divided into five topics. Initially behind a brief history of the merchant marine and shipbuilding Brazilian highlighting its expansion and partially disassemble, the second time, you will see the actual resumption of activities of the navigation industry in Brazil, with emphasis on the goals set in the Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento 2006 -2010. Then, overview of the relationship between trade openness and the nationalmerchant fleet. In the fourth topic will be examined specifically the account of the “freight” and performance of the merchant navy after 1985. Finally, a brief final reflection.

A key question for historians of emotion has been the relationship between the expression of emotion and the corporeal experience of emotion by historical subjects. Recently, work indebted to practice and performance theories has emphasised language’s productive capacities to produce emotion performatively. New Materialism extends this conversation by suggesting an alternative imagining of ‘matter’ – the corporeal – which attributes it greater agency in systems of discursive production. This article explores in particular the work of theorist Karen Barad and the implications of her work for the history of emotions.

Taryn Storey believes that a series of letters recently discovered in the archive of the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB) makes it important that we reassess the genesis of the English Stage Company at the Royal Court. Dating from November 1952, the correspondence between George Devine and William Emrys Williams, the Secretary General of the ACGB, offers an insight into a professional and personal relationship that was to have a profound influence on the emerging Arts Council policy for drama. Storey makes the case that in 1953 Devine not only shaped his Royal Court proposal to fit the priorities of the ACGB Drama Panel, but that Devine and senior members of the ACGB then collaborated to ensure that the proposal became a key part of Arts Council strategic planning. Furthermore, she puts forward the argument that the relationship between Devine and Williams was instrumental to new writing and innovation becoming central to the future rationale for state subsidy to the theatre. Taryn Storey is a doctoral student at the University of Reading. Her PhD thesis examines the relationship between practice and policy in the development of new writing in post-war British theatre, and forms part of the AHRC-funded project ‘Giving Voice to the Nation: The Arts Council of Great Britain and the Development of Theatre and Performance in Britain 1945–1995’, a collaboration between the University of Reading and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

This study examined the relationship between subjective memory complaints and performance on tests of memory by relatives of patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) and by older adults without a family history of dementia. Relatives of AD patients did not differ significantly from controls either in level of complaint or in performance on neuropsychological tests. However, among relatives of patients with early-onset AD, significant correlations were found between performance on memory tests and self-rated changes in everyday memory. These findings raise the possibility that relatives who have entered the age range in which their parents or siblings developed dementia symptoms are monitoring their memory performance more diligently than relatives of patients whose illness began at much later ages or persons who have no close relatives with AD.

The relationship between Shakespeare and the Jews is a multifaceted one with an extensive history dating back to the Elizabethan era. Attitudes to Jews in Shakespeare’s England comprise a complex topic with religious, racial and cultural components that has been explored in detail in James Shapiro’s seminal monograph Shakespeare and the Jews. Jewish elements in the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries extend far beyond the infamous figure of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, and the history of critical and interpretative approaches to such elements is extremely variegated, including shifting perceptions of Shylock on the page and stage over the centuries, different ways of addressing Jewish themes within the plays in writing and performance, and the representations of Jews and Judaism in translations of Shakespeare into other languages.

Expert power is that which comes from having knowledge and expertise in a particular area (Nazarko, 2004). In the history of the development of higher education, the relationship between the lecturer and the students has changed because of many different factors. Before the Internet and web revolution, the lecturer was the main source of information for his or her students. The web as a modern source of knowledge is now used universally, and this spreading trend may affect the relationship between the lecturer and his students. Understanding the impact of this change appears to be important for improving teaching techniques. Thus, many studies have focused on the effect on students and lecturers of using Internet and web applications. These studies have widely investigated this impact on students achievements and attitude, and have also shown how the role and performance of faculty have changed. This paper aims to investigate this issue from the students perspective: what is the impact of using web resources as a source of knowledge on the student-lecturer relationship? How has the fact that students now gain knowledge from websites affected the relationship with the lecturer as a knowledgeable person, that is, the one with the expert power? The participants were 1661 students from 30 universities/educational institutions. The Teacher Power Use Scale (TPUS) was used to collected data along with an open-ended questionnaire. Predictive Analytics Software (PASW) was used to analyze the data, and a thematic analysis was used to analyze data from the open-ended questionnaire.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.
