Batik is one of the arts that contains a whole descriptive belief about how Javanese interpret their lives. It is found inclassical batiks, which are still committed to the standard elements from Keraton as a center for preserving Javaneseculture. Through studying classical batik, the writer finds a concept of Kacu ratio used in making batik. For thewriter, the kacu is a local form of genius that belongs to the Javanese community. The consciousness of the emptinesspermeates all material forms that exist in the universe. This belief is also applied to the process of designing batikfabrics. For the Javanese, beauty lies in the balance of macro and microcosmos. The actual balance lies at the pointof paradox. Through this research, similarities in the numbers of the Kacu ratio, which is believed to be the goldenratio of the Javanese people in ancient times were sought. Then the equation would be applied to the artwork. Thisstudy uses a qualitative method with several literature sources to dissect the Kacu concept and apply it to works ofart. The writer uses the Kacu concept to arrange visual objects as a scale and balance composition through a formalistapproach. Finally, the writer presents batik and screen-printing techniques on textile. Therefore, the writer needsto study the Kacu ratio further to understand what this ancient ratio means in the beliefs of the Javanese people.

Calung art is one of the original arts typical of the West Java region and has existed since ancient times, and is commonly used during traditional ceremonies such as traditional ceremonies offered to Dewi Sri or better known as traditional ceremonies "seren taun". In this traditional ceremony the calung art became one of the supporting musical instruments played in the ceremonial process. However, it cannot be denied that this era which is increasingly developing into modern day more or less makes the existence of this calung experience a shift. This study aims to determine how the history of Calung Punklung's music and the process of its change to modern music. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method by collecting sources of literature coupled with sources of interviews and documentation. The analysis technique used is by using heuristic methods, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The results of this study show that the presence of the Calung Punklung music group is an effort to preserve Sundanese culture in the arts in particular. As for the changes made by the Punklung Clung group, this has only just happened in the aspect of bringing the genre of the song that was sung and how to dress when the performance.

The conclusion of this article is that inter-religious education in the Quran is an education that encourages all students to have an intellectual, moral, achievement and noble personality with humanity and togetherness orientation to develop the principles of democracy, equality and justice in social life and compassion for the universe on the basis of faith in God. Students are required to know the background of each religion and not see it from just one perspective, but also through the perspectives of others to avoid excessive fanaticism in religion that can be a trigger for conflict so far. The article also found two things needed in the construction of Inter-Religious Education, namely; firs! to carry out dialogue by placing each religion in an equal position. Second, develop an attitude of tolerance by providiug opportunities for each religion to urderstand each other. The method that authors use in this study is a qualitative method that is supported by research libraries. While the method of interpretation that authors use is the method of interpretation maudu'i, the authors chose this method because this method can be used as an excavator of lnter-Religious Education according to the Qur'an more comprehensively.

The cosmological dynamics of a non-locally corrected gravity theory, involving a power of the inverse d’Alembertian, is investigated. Casting the dynamical equations into local form, the fixed points of the models are derived, as well as corresponding de Sitter and power-law solutions. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the model parameters for the existence of de Sitter solutions are obtained. The possible existence of power-law solutions is investigated, and it is proven that models with de Sitter solutions have no power-law solutions. A model is found, which allows to describe the matter-dominated phase of the Universe evolution.

Erau Pelas Benua Guntung is the ritual ceremony that held by Kutai Guntung society Bontang, East Borneo. Erau will be held for seven days. In this ceremony, the erau ritual can’t be held if they are not doing the Pelas Benua. Pelas Benua is a ritual that sorrounds the four direction of the wind in Guntung as the form to clean up from the negative things. This ritual using Dewa-Dewa music as accompanist, the belian communicate to Dewa  Semega, He is The God who control the universe. This research using qualitative method with ethnomusicology perspective. Music Dewa-Dewa is ritual music which is specially used in Pelas Benua procession. Music Dewa-Dewa is an ansamble which consist Klentangan, Gong, Gendang and Gimar instrument.                                                                                                  There are three function of Dewa-Dewa music in this ceremony, as communication, ritual function, and physical response.

Many recent researches have investigated the deviations from the Friedmannian cosmological model, as well as their consequences on unexplained cosmological phenomena, such as dark matter and the acceleration of the Universe. On one hand, a first-order perturbative study of matter inhomogeneity returned a partial explanation of dark matter and dark energy, as relativistic effects due to the retarded potentials of far objects. On the other hand, the fractal cosmology, now approximated by a Lemaitre–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) metric, results in distortions of the luminosity distances of SNe Ia, explaining the acceleration as apparent. In this work, we extend the LTB metric to ancient times. The origin of the fractal distribution of matter is explained as the matter remnant after the matter–antimatter recombination epoch. We show that the evolution of such a inhomogeneity necessarily requires a dynamical generalization of LTB, and we propose a particular solution.

"Reflections on the concept of objective art in the context of contemporary art. Objective art communicates about the human being and his/her place in the universe, about the cosmic laws and the role they play in human life and provide clues as to how man can relate to them. From literary sources attesting to the idea that art in its origin had the role of transmitting knowledge to future generations, we deduce that in ancient times all art forms could be read like a book, and those who knew how to read, fully understood the meaning of the knowledge that was incorporated in these art forms. Nevertheless, there are two forms of art, one very different from the other: objective art and subjective art. Everything that we call art today is subjective art. Objective art is the authentic work resulted from the deliberate, premeditated efforts of a conscious artist. In the act of his creation, the artist avoids or eliminates any subjective or arbitrary element and the impression that such a work evokes in others is always defined. Keywords: objective art, the art of antiquity, contemporary art "

Studies on history of science are increasingly emphasizing the important role that, since ancient times, images have had in the processes of shaping concepts, as well as registering and transmitting knowledge about nature and the arts. In the past years, we have developed at Center Simão Mathias of Studies on the History of Science (CESIMA) inquiries devoted to the analysis of images as forms of registering and transmitting knowledge about nature and the arts – that is to say, as documents pertaining to the history of science. These inquiries are grounded on the assumption that all images derive from the interaction between the artistic technique used in their manufacture and the concept intended to be expressed by them. This study enabled us to analyze distinct roles that images have had in different fields of knowledge at various ages. Some of the results obtained so far are summarized in the present article.

AbstractChristophe Milieu's De Scribenda Vniversitatis rervm historia libri qvinqve (Basel, 1551) interprets the "universe of things" (universitas return) within an evolutionary and historical framework consisting of five connected and progressive "grades" (gradus) of existence accessible to human understanding: nature (natura), the world of God's creation and man's animal aspect; prudence (prudentia), including the arts of survival; government (principatus), the stage of civil society and political history; wisdom (sapientia), equivalent to civilization and including the higher sciences and philosophy; and literature (litetatura), in which knowledge of the preceding phases of "progress" (progressio) is expressed in writing. Milieu's "narrative" constitutes a pioneering and comprehensive history of western culture.
