The most commonly used rules of modeling are limited to determine the level and direction beam of the light. However, such an approach does not reflect the real impact of lighting on the object. More accurate selection of lighting parameters is important, especially in the case of design objects, when it is still possible to change the structure or any selection of location and type of lighting. The chapter presents the use of specialized numerical methods in the design of modern sacred buildings as well as visualization methods used in communication between professionals creating and managing such models.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this research is to verify, by an empirical methodology, the existence of an emotion that we have called aesthetics using for it paintings by Kandinsky. The selection of abstract works as stimuli is determined by the fact that they are the formal elements (shape, colour, lines) what constitutes the composition of the works in which there is no reference evocative, as they have no visual references of the real world. Our results indicate that the stimuli used cause alterations in the psychogalvanic response indicates there has been an emotion developed in line with the proposals by James.RESUMENEl objetivo de esta investigación es comprobar, mediante una metodología empírica, la existencia de una emoción que hemos denominado estética, empleando para ello obras de Kandinsky. La selección de obras abstractas como estímulos viene determinada por el hecho de que son los elementos formales (forma, color, líneas) los que constituyen la composición de la obra en la que no hay referencia evocadora al carecer de referencias visuales del mundo real.  Nuestros resultados indican que los estímulos utilizados provocan alteraciones en la respuesta psicogalvánica, que indica que se ha producido una emoción elaborada en línea con las propuestas por James.

This paper reflects on insights that emerged from the findings of a qualitative study conducted by the author in 2007 with third year management students from an Australian university on their perceptions in relation to business ethics. The findings revealed an attitude of cynicism with regard to the application of ethical principles beyond university years – in “the real world of business'. This led the author to engage in more systematic efforts to address this problem, and to this end, she found Mezirow's notion of transformative learning inspiring and valuable. It is contended that reflection and critical thinking are crucially important skills to enable consciousness shifts that will lead to a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of the importance of ethical conduct in management. They can act as antidotes to attitudes of cynicism which make students feel powerless and dejected, disinclined to apply the knowledge gained during their training beyond university years. A selection of examples of class activities and assessments to foster transformative learning is provided.

While manipulative attacks on elections have been well-studied, only recently has attention turned to attacks that account for geographic information, which are extremely common in the real world. The most well known in the media is gerrymandering, in which district border-lines are changed to increase a party's chance to win, but a different geographical manipulation involves influencing the election by selecting the location of polling places, as many people are not willing to go to any distance to vote. In this paper we initiate the study of this manipulation. We find that while it is easy to manipulate the selection of polling places on the line, it becomes difficult already on the plane or in the case of more than two candidates. Moreover, we show that for more than two candidates the problem is inapproximable. However, we find a few restricted cases on the plane where some algorithms perform well. Finally, we discuss how existing results for standard control actions hold in the geographic setting, consider additional control actions in the geographic setting, and suggest directions for future study.

This paper presents an Application Based Active Learning (ABAL) methodology on Power Electronics (PE) and Electric Machines (EM) as a hybrid laboratory course for the undergraduate students to design and implement the real-world engineering problems. The ABAL is a type of active learning which is a branch of Learner-centered teaching (LCT). The DC/DC converter along with the speed control of DC separately excites the motor. In addition, a DC/AC converter is designed to control the speed of an induction motor. The results are then investigated on a hardware platform under the ABAL experimental methodology. This paper also discusses the problem identification selection of the equipment, circuit design, hardware mounting and critical analysis of the results acquired from the hybrid laboratory. The ABAL methodology was evaluated based on student satisfaction, feedback, grades and interest to solve the real-world problem rather than cramming the engineering concepts and fulfill so-called lab routine and tasks

The Grotesque

Borrowing Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the grotesque, this chapter explores how the use of remixed classical works contributes to the game Catherine’s pervasive focus on opposing dualities. The chapter describes in detail how, for example, music comments on the real world and horrific dreamworld experienced within the game by the main character, Vincent, who is in the midst of a major life crisis. It explores how the careful selection of musical works in Catherine, along with the irreconcilable combination of high and low arts, mirrors dualistic structures found throughout the game, from the mixing of unlikely gameplay genres to its narrative details.

<p>Abstract. Whatsapp (WA) as a new social media changes people's communication in cyberspace. Communication that initially can only be done in the real world, develops with the existence of cyberspace that makes communication can be done without having to meet, and can be done quickly and can be felt as if real. For this reason, this study aims to find out how public communication is before there is WA and after there is WA? Does WA change the concept of social distance for society? This research is important to do so that we know how WA as an active and massive communication media used by the community can change the concept of new social distance in society. The method used is qualitative data collection through interviews with several WA users. This interview was conducted by random sampling method with the selection of informants randomly. The theory used in this study is the theory of social distance. This study found that WA changed communication in cyberspace and WA also changed the concept of new social distance because after massive WA groups were used, people were free to disseminate information and had the right to comment without fear of social distance in the real world. People can also more easily realize their sympathies because groups in WA make it easier for them to carry out information and coordination to be able to carry out activities that show sympathy for others.</p><p><br />Keywords: Communication, Whatsapp, Social Distance</p>

Finding root of a nonlinear equation is one of the most important problems in the real world, which arises in the applied sciences and engineering. The researchers developed many numerical methods for estimating roots of nonlinear equations. The this paper, we proposed a new Simpson type method with the help of Simpson 1/3rd rule. It has been proved that the convergence order of the proposed method is two. Some numerical examples are solved to validate the proposed method by using C++/MATLAB and EXCEL. The performance of proposed method is better than the existing ones.
