Shading space is an important characteristic of China's traditional architecture. The traditional dwellings in China are taken as the research object. On the basis of the statement of the classification and function of building shading, this paper focuses on the various shading methods such as eaves shading, function space shading, windows shading, courtyard shading, green shading and building mutual shading in the building layout.

Conclave Wijaya has been established since 2013 and was inaugurated in 2014, Conclave Wijaya is not only focused on one type of function space but in addition to coworking space there is also built office space, meeting rooms, event spaces, auditoriums and class rooms. The identification of problems stems from the rapid development of startups and micro and small businesses, especially in Jakarta. But often times there are many new breakthroughs about the concept and function of coworking space that suits consumers' needs and of course at affordable prices. Although Conclave Wijaya cooperates with Comma, Conclave itself does not follow in the footsteps of Comma, which only has one function, namely as coworking space. This is the purpose of the study, first to prove that Conclave Wijaya is able to cover and accommodate its function as a place to work and relax, second to study the Conclave Wijaya facility as a container that is able to attract and attract users, and third to see strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats on Conclave Wijaya. In order to achieve the objectives of the method used with a qualitative approach can describe the conditions that exist in the Conclave Wijaya and identify aspects that affect the existence of the Conclave Wijaya. The final results achieved indicate the strategy of Conclave Wijaya in its existence that continues to survive amid competition in the coworking space business. Keywords: Analysis; Coworking Space; User; Strategy AbstrakConclave Wijaya sudah berdiri sejak tahun 2013 dan diresmikan ditahun 2014, Conclave Wijaya tidak hanya berfokus pada satu tipe fungsi ruang tetapi selain adanya coworking space disana juga dibangun office space, meeting room, event space, auditorium, dan class room. Identifikasi masalah bermula dari pesatnya perkembangan startup dan usaha mikro kecil dan menengah khususnya di Jakarta. Namun seringnya waktu banyak terobosan baru mengenai konsep dan fungsi dari coworking space yang sesuai kebutuhan konsumen dan tentunya dengan harga terjangkau. Walaupun Conclave Wijaya bekerja sama dengan pihak Comma namun Conclave sendiri tidak mengikuti jejak Comma yang hanya memiliki satu fungsi yakni sebagai coworking space. Hal ini yang menjadi tujuan studi dilakukan, pertama untuk membuktikan Conclave Wijaya mampu mencakup dan mewadahi fungsinya sebagai tempat bekerja dan bersantai, kedua untuk mengkaji fasilitas Conclave Wijaya sebagai  wadah  yang  mampu diminati  dan  menarik pengguna, dan ketiga untuk melihat  kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang dan ancaman pada Conclave Wijaya. Agar tercapainya tujuan metode yang digunakan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dapat mendeskripsikan kondisi yang ada pada Conclave Wijaya serta mengindentifikasi aspek yang mempengaruhi keberadaan Conclave Wijaya. Hasil akhir yang dicapai menunjukkan strategi Conclave Wijaya dalam eksistensinya yang terus bertahan ditengah persaingan bisnis coworking space.

The popular yet demonic guardian of ancient Egypt, Bes, combines dwarfish and leonine features, and embodies opposing traits such as a fierce and gentle demeanor, a hideous and comical appearance, serious and humorous roles, an animalistic and numinous nature. Drawing connections with similarly stunted figures, great and small cats, sacred cows, baboons, demonic monsters, universal gods and infant deities, this article will focus on the animalistic associations of the Bes figure to illustrate that this leonine dwarf encompassed a wider religious significance than apotropaic and regenerative functions alone. Bes was thought to come from afar but was always close; the leonine dwarf guarded the sun god Ra along the diurnal solar circuit; the figure protected pregnant women and newborn children; it was a dancer and musician; the figure belonged to the company of magical monsters of hybrid appearance as averter of evil and sword-wielding fighter. Exploring the human and animal, demonic and numinous aspects of this leonine dwarf will not only further our understanding of its nature and function, but also its significance and popularity.

AbstractThe Sun Stone of Motecuhzoma Ilhuicamina is one of the major monuments revealed by excavations in and around the Aztec Templo Mayor since 1978. Featuring the sun disk on its top surface and the Mexica conquest of 11 enemy polities on its cylindrical sides, it is considered a gladiatorial stone, similar in both iconography and function to the later Stone of Tizoc. While Tizoc's stone locates its conquest scenes between earth and sky bands, this sun stone uniquely places its conquests between two bands of repeating motifs. The authors argue that these bands are extraordinary examples of pictographic texts that parallel and likely called forth ritual speech acts. The iconography and patterning of the motifs reveal the bands to be visual exhortations or prayers related to human sacrifice specifically associated with Tezcatlipoca. The complex pattern of the repeating motifs is rhythmic and reflects the discourse structure of Nahuatl high speech.

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new class c0 (S, (E, || . || ), ξ, u) of normed space E valued functions which will generalize some of the well known  basic sequence spaces and function spaces studied in Functional Analysis.. Beside the investigation pertaining to the linear paranormed structure of the class c0 ( S, (E, || . || ), ξ, u ) when topologized it with suitable natural paranorm , our primarily interest is to explore the conditions pertaining the containment relation of the class c0 (S, (E, || . || ), ξ, u) in terms of different ξ and u so that such a class of functions is contained in or equal to another class of similar nature.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njst.v15i1.12028Nepal Journal of Science and TechnologyVol. 15, No.1 (2014) 121-128
