The main focus of this paper is the discussion about non-coherent appearance of built environment in Pakistan that does not reflect the culture of society, but external influences more than natives. Being a part of a larger territory in yester centuries, the country is influenced heavily by external factors and deliberated efforts for “modernization” since after a decade of independence in 1947. Many parts of the subcontinent including India and Pakistan are influenced by Modernist trends in architecture that are evident in the built environment. The probability of inclusion of many diversified attributes of culture over a considerable period of time has been increased. It is therefore important to discuss the most relevant possibilities through which these influences were adopted and then were translated in the built environment. These influences are assumed to be translated through the taught content in the architectural education in the country. The paper also discusses the relationship of three entities; Culture, Built Environment and Architectural Education. It takes into account some examples of residences from Pakistan to analyze the interfacing capacity of culture and built environment. It adopts the methodology of qualitative study through literature and evidences from some cities of Pakistan to seek the validity of argument. It also relates the role of curriculum driven architectural education in the process of built environment. The findings reveal that the existing form of culture has grasped external influences in a subtle manner adopting a new form which appears as non-coherent to the generally perceived one. The role of architectural education in this regard holds a pivotal position in relation to the built environment. The findings established also connote architectural education as the interfacing factor of culture and built environment.

This paper discusses the rationality from the angle of language and itscoverage, rationality from the standpoint of immanence and transcendence.The theme of the study are about the relationship between ethics andrationality, rationality in economics including the position of rationality inIslamic economy, the role of the outsider (external factors) of rationality (ineconomy in taking decisions). The approach used is a philosophicalexploratory, i.e. tracing the linguistic philosophical side which started from the rational root of the word itself is up to on the word transformation in economics, so that gave rise to some form of the word rational that was so extreme and radical as the pretext of self to behave as free-free economy. The presence of characteristic trandensi in Islamic economy which is not owned by the conventional economy, namely the risk of uncertainty as to the resigned expression tawwakul and unrestricted time jangkauang (time horizon) from the life of the world to the life of the hereafter.Tulisan ini membahas rasionalitas dari sudut bahasa dan cakupannya, rasionalitas dari sudut pandang imanensi dan transendensi. Tema kajianadalah mengenai hubungan antara etika dan rasionalitas, rasionalitas dalambidang ekonomi termasuk di dalamnya posisi rasionalitas dalam ekonomiIslam, peranan outsider (faktor eksternal) terhadap proses rasionalitas (kedalam diri pelaku ekonomi dalam mengambil keputusan). Pendekatan yangdigunakan adalah filosofis-eksploratif, yakni menelusuri sisi filosofiskebahasaan yang dimulai dari akar kata rasional itu sendiri hingga sampaipada proses transformasi kata tersebut dalam bidang ekonomi, sehinggamemunculkan bentukan kata rasional yang begitu ekstrim dan radikal sebagai dalih diri untuk berperilaku sebebas-bebasnya dalam bidang ekonomi. Adanya karakteristik trandensi dalam ekonomi Islam yang tidak dimiliki oleh ekonomi konvensional, yaitu pasrah kepada resiko ketidakpastian sebagai ekspresi tawakal dan jangkauang waktu yang tak terbatas (time horizon) dari kehidupan dunia sampai kehidupan akhirat.

Background: A relationship between body size and longevity has long been appreciated within eukaryotes, especially vertebrates. Introduction: In general, large size is associated with increased longevity among species of mammals and birds but is associated with decreased longevity within individual species such as dogs and mice. In this study, we examined the relationship between measures of individual body size and longevity in a captive population of speckled cockroaches (Nauphoeta cineria). Method: Newly molted adults of both sexes were removed from a mass colony housed in multiple terraria and housed individually with food and water provided ad libitum for the duration of their lifespan. Thrice weekly, the status (i.e. live/dead) of individual cockroaches was noted for the duration of the study. Individuals found dead were weighed and measured to obtain body mass and morphometric measures and the age at the time of death was recorded. The relationship between body size and lifespan was assessed. Result: Contrary to what is commonly seen within vertebrates, large cockroaches were longer-lived than their smaller counterparts. Specifically, body mass, body length and pronotum width were all significantly correlated with the age at death in a mixed population of males and females (n = 94). In addition, we found that the longevity of a historically larger population in terms of both body mass and body length were significantly longer-lived than the population used in this study. Conclusion: These data indicate there is a significant interaction between body size and aging in this species and that increased size results in a survival advantage. There is evidence in the literature indicating that a positive relationship between size and longevity may be common in insects.

Arthropods found on the pig carrions in the dry season in the Warri city at 05°32’34.95"N and 05°44’39.834"E from 10th December 2017 to 10th February 2018 studied. Three pigs were killed and their decomposition monitored for 60 days, arthropods were collected with the aid of sweep nets, brushes, handpicking and pitfall traps while the soil below the decaying pig carrions were searched extensively twice daily for the first week and once daily for the remaining weeks. Data analysis was done by Microsoft excel while graphs were used to demonstrate the frequencies of the arthropods in every phase of decomposition, pie chart was used to elucidate stages of putrefaction and their respective periods. The outcome of the study showed five exclusive stages of decay: fresh, bloated, active decay, advance decay and dry decay correspondingly. The fresh stage took shortest days of 2 as the dry decay took longest days of 41. A total of 1495 arthropods were collected, at the fresh stage, there were 244 arthropods, while 213 were Diptera, only 19 were Hymenoptera and 12 were also Coleoptera but at the bloated stage of decomposition, a total of 273 arthropods were recorded, Diptera were 223 as hymenoptera were 21 and Coleoptera were 29 while at the active decay stage of decomposition there were a total of 437 arthropods, 333 of them were Diptera, 29 were Hymenoptera as 75 were Coleoptera but at the advance decay stage of decomposition, there were a total of 438 arthropods, 225 of them were Diptera, 30 were Hymenoptera as 91 were Coleoptera but at the dry decay stage of decomposition, only 195 arthropods were recorded, 96 of them were Diptera, 21 were Hymenoptera and 78 were Coleoptera in that order, for the reason that the Coleoptera and Diptera used the decaying pig carrions for breeding of their offspring, they could be used in the estimation of the time after death hence are of immense forensic importance while the role of the recorded Hymenoptera could also be of great importance as the tears and wears that they created on the carrions could be cause of error in the estimation of the time of death and their predatory role could also give a fake entomofauna documentation data, more researches of this nature are to be carried out in Warri city and other neighboring communities in order to document reliable database of arthropod of forensic importance in the oil rich city.

<p>This article consists of two parts. The first part analyzes the causes of an increasing number of disputes at universities, resulting both from external factors related to the crises of the 21<sup>st</sup> century and from internal factors, i.e. the nature of universities, the increasing complexity of problems arising at universities and the changing role of universities in society. One of the reasons for the increased number of conflicts is the treatment of universities as service providers, which is a result of a change in understanding the role of universities. Students understand their role as consumers and this change alone causes an increased number of formal proceedings against universities. In response to this trend, universities in many countries are introducing or considering alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods, which are less expensive and faster alternatives to litigation or disciplinary proceedings, and include an important element of universities’ mission of educating students in a spirit of respect and tolerance for the other party, and also choose methods in which the parties have the opportunity to influence the resolution of the dispute. The article analyzes mediation which is the most frequently used method of ADR in different countries in academic disputes. Although mediation, according to the analysis carried out in the article, perfectly fits into the idea of an autonomous and independent university, it is thus far widely used only in some countries. The analysis of the application of mediation in certain countries may be an important reflection on the more widespread introduction of this method at universities in other countries partiuculary because mediation is not confined to one legal system. In the second part of the study, the author analyzes the use of court proceedings in resolving academic disputes, the institution of an academic ombudsman, as well as mixed and adjudicatory methods of solving conflicts in higher education.</p>

ABSTRAKSI Perkembangan dibidang teknologi pertanian pada saat ini telah memberikan banyak kontribusi dibidang pertanian. Namun ternyata belum banyak dinikmati oleh para petani. Ini karena ada beberapa kendala diantarnya rendahnya pengetahuan para petani dan keterbatasan dibidang sumber daya seperti modal, tanah dan lain-lain. Respon kelompok tani terhadap peran PPL tentu mampu menciptakan terjadinya hubungan yang serasi yang bersifat interpersonal antara kelompok tani dan PPL. Ada faktor-faktor intern dan ekstern yang berpengaruh pada respon kelompok tani terhadap PPL. Faktor intern meliputi sifat stereotip, kearifan terkait menyunting stimulus, konsep tentang diri, kebutuhan dan harapan, emosi tentang diri dan pengalaman di masa lalu. Faktor ekstern antara lain : intensitas kunjungan, frekuensi kunjungan dan ukuran maupun pengulangan kunjungan. Dari hasil penelitian dapat dilihat bahwa faktor intern ataupun faktor ekstern tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan respon petani, namun hubungannya sangat kuat dengan peran PPL dan hasil analisa terdapat hubungan respon para petani terhadap peran PPL. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PPL sebagai pembimbing mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 71,3%, PPL sebagai organisator mempunyai kategori sedang dengan skor 60,7%, PPL sebagai dinamisator mempunyai kategori tinggi dengan skor 81,3% dan PPL sebagai teknisi mempunyai kategori sedang dengan sekor 62,3%. Adapun saran dari penelitian ini meliputi : perlunya suasana yang kondusif antara para kelompok petani dengan PPL. Kata kunci : Peran PPL, respon petani, faktor intern dan ekstern petani   ABSTRACT Developments in the field of agricultural technology at this time have contributed a lot in the field of agriculture. However, it has not been widely enjoyed by farmers. This is because there are several obstacles including the low knowledge of farmers and limitations in the field of resources such as capital, land and others. The response of farmer groups to the role of PPL is certainly able to create a harmonious interpersonal relationship between farmer groups and PPL. There are internal and external factors that influence the response of farmer groups to PPL. Internal factors include the nature of stereotypes, wisdom related to editing the stimulus, self-concept, needs and expectations, emotions about oneself and past experiences. External factors include: intensity of visits, frequency of visits and the size and repetition of visits. From the results of the study, it can be seen that internal factors or external factors do not have a relationship with the response of farmers, but the relationship is very strong with the role of PPL and the results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between the responses of farmers to the role of PPL. The results showed that PPL as a supervisor had a high category with a score of 71.3%, PPL as an organizer had a medium category with a score of 60.7%, PPL as a dynamist had a high category with a score of 81.3% and PPL as a technician had a medium category with score 62.3%. The suggestions from this research include: the need for a conducive atmosphere between farmer groups and PPL. Keywords: PPL role, farmer response, internal and external factors of farmers

The vision of Lithuania presented by Vincas Kudirka (1858-1899), a prominent leader of the Lithuanian national revival movement, was conditioned by radical social, national, political and cultural changes in Eastern and Central Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. Being subjected to the above-mentioned processes, Kudirka’s concept of Lithuania was not unchanging. Interpreting Kudirka’ s own ‘confession’ too literally, historians, literary historians and writers of reminiscences tended to simplify the changes of Kudirka’s viewpoints, especially dealing with his allegedly sudden Lithuanian transformation. A closer analysis of the relationship between the external factors and the personal attitudes of this outstanding public figure reveals his gradual conversion to and development of national consciousness, as well as the motivation of his active involvement in the Lithuanian national movement and in the struggle against the Russification and Polonization of his people. The changes in Kudirka’s viewpoints towards the role of various social layers of Lithuania in different periods are also dealt with in this study.

Core family support is one of the external factors that affect students. Each form of family support has aspects including informative, emotional attention, instrumental assistance and assessment assistance. Students are expected to maintain communication with the nuclear family, in order to continue to get support from the nuclear family. The role of the nuclear family as controls, mentors, regulators and supervisors cannot be immediately erased or eliminated just to be independent or free of expression. In procrastination, it is a student's behavior that is not uncommonly realized but is still being lived out, procrastination makes us think irrationally in a conscious state and looks natural by the surrounding environment. Social support, especially core family support is needed to help the student concerned avoid procrastination. This research was conducted with quantitative research with the technique ofcorrelation analysis product moment. From the results of the analysis shows the direction of the relationship between core family support and academic procrastination, while the value of p <0.01 in Sig. (2-tailed) shows that there is a relationship between core family support and student academic procrastination.
