From Quark to Infinite Dimensionality

This article gives a overall picture of how the universe works from the likelihood that our universe is infinite dimensional at the nanometer scale of an indestructible quark. The article explains that we only can perceive for sure up to 4 dimensions of physical reality. However, the speculation in this article seems very clear that likely we are seeing activity in the 5th dimension in particle physics experimentation explaining the EPR paradox and other mysteries seen in particle physics. Finally, the article shows why the Mendeleev Chart has historically listed possible stable atoms without giving the exact number possible. The way protons and other hadrons are composed of six quarks and six antiquarks held together by gluons leads to the inevitable conclusion that only 108 stable atoms can exist. Being stable means the protons in an atom are composed of 3 quarks/antiquarks having charge 1. Recent discoveries in particle physics research demonstrates that there exists a particle named the pentaquark composed of five quarks. The article explains that pentaquarks have been identified in recent particle research. It is not known yet whether the pentaquark leads to a different proton that leads in turn to a pentaquark atom. New particle research will likely answer this question

KOLEKSI MANUSKRIP INDONESIA DALAM KATALOG ONLINE EROPA DAN URGENSI DIGITALISASI

Outside Indonesia, Indonesian manuscripts are preserved in universities, libraries and museums in various parts of the globe. And the exact number of collections is not known as various projects of manuscript digitization and cataloging continue to emerge. This paper discusses two things. First, remarkable European institutions preserving Indonesian manuscripts will be reviewed. We will look at their manuscript collections and to what extent they deal with the digitized collections. Secondly, as a great number of Indonesian digitized manuscripts in Europe is accessible online and free of charge, this paper will study how digitizing Indonesian manuscript becomes crucial. It argues that comprehensive manuscript digitization is – for now – the main goal of preservation. Manuskrip Indonesia tidak hanya tersimpan di Indonesia, jumlah pastinya tidak diketahui dan terus berubah karena katalogisasi naskah-naskah tersebut masih terus dilakukan di lembaga-lembaga yang menyimpannya – universitas, museum maupun perpustakaan – di berbagai belahan dunia. Artikel ini membahas dua hal: Yang pertama, akan dijabarkan lembaga-lembaga penting yang menyimpan naskah-naskah kuno Indonesia dan memiliki sistem preservasi dan katalogisasi yang unggul; Yang kedua, mengingat sebagian dari koleksi digital di Eropa tersebut bahkan dapat diakses secara online dan tidak berbayar, artikel ini juga mengkaji pentingnya digitalisasi naskah. Argumen yang dimunculkan adalah digitalisasi naskah yang komprehensif merupakan tujuan utama preservasi untuk saat ini.

A Pragmatic Analysis on Vague Language Used in Disaster News Articles on Thejakartapost.com

This paper presents the findings analysis of categories and functions on vague language used in disaster news articles on Thejakartapost.com based on the theory of Channell (1994). In the journalism context, especially in disaster news article, the information often contains vague language that has imprecise statement since it is harmful. Therefore, to avoid wrong statements, the reporters often use vague language in presenting information accurately. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method. All data were 24 news articles. There were 12 news articles of natural disasters and 12 news articles of human-caused disasters. The period was from April 2018 until March 2019. The findings of this study showed that there were three categories of vague language, namely vague additives to numbers that were realized by approximators and adjectives. The others were vagueness of choice of vague words that were realized by nouns, and vagueness by scalar implicatures that were realized by quantifiers, numbers, and exaggerations. In addition, they also have its functions of vague language. Firstly, giving the right amount of information, it is used since the reporters just shared the right number of information although the exact number was not available. Secondly, filling in lexical gaps of uncertainty, it is used since the reporters wanted to cover the imprecise information with another word, and generalized word that was difficult to identify. Last but not least, self-protection. It is used since the reporters wanted to protect and hedge their statements from imprecise information.Keywords: Vague Language, Categories, News Articles, Disasters, implicature

Counting and the ontogenetic origins of exact equality

Humans are unique in their capacity to both represent number exactly and to express these representations symbolically. This correlation has prompted debate regarding whether symbolic number systems are necessary to represent exact number. Previous work addressing this question in innumerate adults and semi-numerate children has been limited by conflicting results and differing methodologies, and has not yielded a clear answer. We address this debate by adapting methods used with innumerate populations (a “set-matching” task) for 3- to 5-year-old US children at varying stages of symbolic number acquisition. In five studies we find that children’s ability to match sets exactly is related not simply to knowing the meanings of a few number words, but also to understanding how counting is used to generate sets (i.e., the cardinal principle). However, while children were more likely to match sets after acquiring the cardinal principle, they nevertheless demonstrated failures, compatible with the hypothesis that the ability to reason about exact equality emerges sometime later. These findings provide important data on the origin of exact number concepts, and point to knowledge of a counting system, rather than number language in general, as a key ingredient in the ability to reason about large exact number.

Meter in Traditional Kakataibo Chants

This paper studies the principal aspects of meter of three traditional Kakataibo chants (a Panoan group of Peruvian Amazonia). Regarding meter, Kakataibo chants exhibit patterns relevant for the cross-linguistic study of line and meter typology. I describe the Kakataibo system of versification as a quantitative meter that counts an exact number of moras and regulates the distribution of these by imposing grouping restrictions; also, it establishes weight differences between light, heavy and superheavy syllables, and vowel lengthening plays an important role for meter purposes. In addition, the average duration of lines tends to last less than three seconds and decreases progressively during performance.

The Man of the Theater from the Environment of P.I. Tchaikovsky: K.N. De‐Lazari

This paper is dedicated to a creative personality from P.I. Tchaikovsky’s friendly circle, Konstantin Nikolaevich De-Lazari (stage name Konstantinov). Throughout the composer’s life, this artist of almost all theatrical genres (from drama and opera to vaudeville and operetta) maintained friendly relations with Pyotr Ilyich himself, then with his brothers and father. Serving alternately in the troupes of the opera (Bolshoi Theater, Moscow) and drama theaters (Alexandrinsky Theater, St. Petersburg), he did not lose touch with either the musical or dramatic environment and was considered “his own man” behind the scenes of the theaters of both capitals. He was a friend of Pyotr Ilyich’s friends: N.G. Rubinstein, G.A. Laroche; patronized talented actresses who played prominent roles in the destinies of M.I. Tchaikovsky (M.G. Savina) and A.I. Tchaikovsky (A.Ya. Glama-Meshcherskaya). K.N. De-Lazari left several memoir texts; their exact number and significance for the biography of P.I. Tchaikovsky has not yet received a scientific assessment. These texts and their interpretation will help to expand our understanding of the composer’s circle of friends and the synthetism of perception of musical and dramatic theater, characteristic of P.I. Tchaikovsky, his natural artistry, in a broad sense.

EMPTY BENCH IN INDONESIAN PERFORMING ARTS STUDIES: AUDIENCE

Many Indonesian performing art experts have stated that audience studies were conducted in minimal numbers. However, the exact number of research on performing art audiences in Indonesia remains unclear. The factors that influence it are still not known in detail. This paper used a literature review on seven nationally accredited performing arts journals from art institutes in Indonesia over the past ten years. The results showed that only 3 out of 1034 journal titles focusing on performing art audiences in the last ten years. From these findings, we can conclude that the study on the audiences is so scarce. This research theme is not interesting for performing art experts in Indonesia. Indonesian performing art experts and academicians have left the importance of audience studies. This paper also discusses the factors that influence the negligible of performing arts audience studies in Indonesia.

Dihedral group and classification of G-circuits of length 10

In this paper, we classify G-circuits of length 10 with the help of the location of the reduced numbers lying on G-circuit. The reduced numbers play an important role in the study of modular group action on P S L ( 2 , Z ) $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ -subset of Q ( m ) \ Q $Q(\sqrt{m}){\backslash}Q$ . For this purpose, we define new notions of equivalent, cyclically equivalent, and similar G-circuits in P S L ( 2 , Z ) $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ -orbits of real quadratic fields. In particular, we classify P S L ( 2 , Z ) $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ -orbits of Q ( m ) \ Q $Q(\sqrt{m}){\backslash}Q$ = ⋃ k ∈ N Q * k 2 m $={\bigcup }_{k\in N}{Q}^{{\ast}}\left(\sqrt{{k}^{2}m}\right)$ containing G-circuits of length 10 and determine that the number of equivalence classes of G-circuits of length 10 is 41 in number. We also use dihedral group to explore cyclically equivalence classes of circuits and use cyclic group to explore similar G-circuits of length 10 corresponding to 10 of these circuits. By using cyclically equivalent classes of circuits and similar circuits, we obtain the exact number of G-orbits and the structure of G-circuits corresponding to cyclically equivalent classes. This study also helps us in classifying the reduced numbers lying in the P S L ( 2 , Z ) $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ -orbits.

Measuring Emerging Number Knowledge in Toddlers

Recent evidence suggests that infants and toddlers may recognize counting as numerically relevant long before they are able to count or understand the cardinal meaning of number words. The Give-N task, which asks children to produce sets of objects in different quantities, is commonly used to test children’s cardinal number knowledge and understanding of exact number words but does not capture children’s preliminary understanding of number words and is difficult to administer remotely. Here, we asked whether toddlers correctly map number words to the referred quantities in a two-alternative forced choice Point-to-X task (e.g., “Which has three?”). Two- to three-year-old toddlers (N = 100) completed a Give-N task and a Point-to-X task through in-person testing or online via videoconferencing software. Across number-word trials in Point-to-X, toddlers pointed to the correct image more often than predicted by chance, indicating that they had some understanding of the prompted number word that allowed them to rule out incorrect responses, despite limited understanding of exact cardinal values. No differences in Point-to-X performance were seen for children tested in-person versus remotely. Children with better understanding of exact number words as indicated on the Give-N task also answered more trials correctly in Point-to-X. Critically, in-depth analyses of Point-to-X performance for children who were identified as 1- or 2-knowers on Give-N showed that 1-knowers do not show a preliminary understanding of numbers above their knower-level, whereas 2-knowers do. As researchers move to administering assessments remotely, the Point-to-X task promises to be an easy-to-administer alternative to Give-N for measuring children’s emerging number knowledge and capturing nuances in children’s number-word knowledge that Give-N may miss.

On a Result of Hayman Concerning the Maximum Modulus Set

The set of points where an entire function achieves its maximum modulus is known as the maximum modulus set. In 1951, Hayman studied the structure of this set near the origin. Following work of Blumenthal, he showed that, near zero, the maximum modulus set consists of a collection of disjoint analytic curves, and provided an upper bound for the number of these curves. In this paper, we establish the exact number of these curves for all entire functions, except for a “small” set whose Taylor series coefficients satisfy a certain simple, algebraic condition. Moreover, we give new results concerning the structure of this set near the origin, and make an interesting conjecture regarding the most general case. We prove this conjecture for polynomials of degree less than four.
