Resolution of a sign (1). Regarding a Neolithic slab in the petit mont passage grave (Arzon, France)

Our communication will make use of the word “resolution” in order to address both the original meanings of prehistoric signs and the new technical capabilities that make it possible to detect ancient engravings on stone. An interpretation of an iconographic program belonging to such an old period (6500 BP) relies on a precise inventory of material removals on the rock surface so that all the signs can be detailed and labelled. For this, we will focus on one of the two passage graves preserved in the Neolithic cairn of PetitMont (Arzon, France). There, an engraved orthostat displaying a figure of a so-called “solar wheel” has been known for a long time; however, this type of motif neither fits the chronological context nor the usual corpus of signs in the megaliths of Brittany. A careful recording combining a compilation of images under oblique lighting and 3D modelling makes it possible to produce a graphical synthesis at several levels of information (contours, removal of material from the rock surface, chromatic and morphological alterations). All the signs identified on the basis of their hollow layouts allow us to recognize four main motifs: a circular composition consisting of 17 polished axe blades; a representation of a liquid element; two depictions of boats, one with crew, the other unmanned.

La pratique de la nage et ses représentations : un frein à l’épanouissement de la nature aquatique de l’homme ? Une lecture sociopoétique de Schwimmen, une fiction autobiographique de John von Düffel

The unprecedented development of swimming in the second half of the twentieth century has contributed greatly to overcoming the obstacles associated with aquatic immersion. In a short autobiographical account entitled Schwimmen, John von Düffel tells how, in the context of the widespread development of swimming, he gradually developed a second nature of an aquatic type. This experience leads him to shake up common representations and contemporary practices: relaxation, conviviality, sports performance, competition are, according to Düffel, only the transposition of terrestrial activities into water; revealing the persistence of man’s attachment to land, they paradoxically act as an obstacle to the blossoming of his amphibious nature, even as they create the conditions for the acclimatization of the greatest number to the aquatic universe. In contrast, Düffel’s privileged relationship with water is a source of re-enchantment at a time when the trivialization of immersion plays against connivance and symbiosis with the liquid element.

Manifestasi Tuhan pada Tubuh Manusia dalam Teks Anggastya Prana

<p><em>The human body in the concept of Hinduism consists of three layers called Tri Sarira, namely: Sthula Sarira (body), Suksma Sarira (subtle body) and Anthakarana Sarira (causative body). Stula Sarira or coarse body is the outermost layer of the human body which is formed from the Panca Maha Buta, which consists of: Pertiwi (solid element), Apah (liquid element), Bayu (air element), Teja (heat / light element), and Akasa (ether). Suksma Sarira or subtle body which is a layer of the body that cannot be seen or touched, but is present in mankind for example the mind. Anthakarana Sarira is a fine layer that is the cause of human life called Atman. Birth is closely related to the procurement of offspring, serves to pay birth debt. Debt in Sanskrit is called Rna, which developed into Tri Rna, including: debt to the Gods (Dewa Rna), debt to parents or ancestors (Pitra Rna), and debt to the Rsi (Rsi Rna). In “Lontar Anggastya prana” it is told that the life of the baby while in the womb the mother is guarded and protected by Hyang Siwa / Siwatma.</em></p><em>The process of creation (uttpti) begins with interest or liking at the age of adolescence until the relationship occurs / intercourse until fertilization occurs between spermatozoid (kama petak) with ovum (kama bhang) becomes Sang Hyang Antigajati in the form of the seed of life. When a child is looking for birth, he is called Sang Hyang Siwatma. When humans are born into the world, he is accompanied by four brothers called Chess Sanak in the form of Yeh Nyom (amniotic fluid), placenta, shampoo, and blood. The Catur Sanak accompanies humans from birth as Sang Anggapati, Sang Prajapati, Sang Bhanaspati, and Sang Bhanaspatiraja, until humans die and change their designation according to human development, and continue with the depiction of God in the human body in the form of sacred characters.</em>

Management Strategies of Working Capital in Polish Services Providing Companies

Net working capital aims at keeping companies in good financial condition and, above all, ensuring their financial security. It appears in micro, small, medium and large companies operating in every sector. In the case of services providing companies working capital management is very limited as in such businesses there is no inventory, which is the least liquid element of current assets. Therefore, in such companies working capital management strategies are based on the management of short-term receivables, short-term investments and short-term liabilities. In the paper services providing companies operating in the transport and tourism sectors have been presented. The research period covers the years 2016-2018. By means of selected statistical methods and appropriate financial indicators it was found that transport companies used different working capital management strategies compared to companies operating in the tourism sector.

«Vous êtes des poissons». Homo aquaticus de Paul Willems

<p>The narrative work of Paul Willems is filled with the presence of the liquid element. While the elements of the aquatic world are often part of novelistic diegesis, they are not as easily rendered in the theater. The article has for its purpose the examination of the presence of the aquatic element in the plays of the Belgian author. Therefore, the hermeneutic study will focus on various manifestations of water, grouped into four thematic parts ranging from metonymic water, through metaphorical and symbolic water, to anthropomorphic water.</p>

Ethics of the Sea – Experience of the Vis Archipelago Fishermen

Ethics of the Sea – Experience of the Vis Archipelago FishermenThis paper is based on the author's years-long research of the experience of fishermen of the island of Vis, their ethics and mutual relationships in the extreme conditions of fishing at distant open sea islands of the Adriatic where they were continously exposed to pirate attacks, open sea elements, with boats powered by wind or man, in small living quarters of a boat and fiercely competing with each other for survival. In such extreme conditions the only answer to the challenge of survival was mutual solidarity, willingness to help another, the principle of egalitarianism and mutual respect. The author also speaks about the transethnic culture of people living at sea, the phenomenon of the sea as the liquid element which does not divide but rather connects different shores, cultures and languages. He speaks about the insular world whose most important social principle is - work, manufacture as the basis of survival, sacrificing for another and high value of an individual who deserves to be held in esteem through his work and sacrifice as the corrective of selfish interests. Etyka morza – doświadczenie rybaków z wyspy VisArtykuł opiera się na wieloletnich badaniach autora nad doświadczeniem rybaków z wyspy Vis (Chorwacja), ich etyką i wzajemnymi relacjami w trudnych warunkach na odległych wyspach adriatyckich, gdzie nieustannie byli narażeni na ataki piratów, kaprysy otwartego morza; posługiwali się łodziami żaglowymi i wiosłowymi, żyjąc na małej przestrzeni i rywalizując między sobą o przetrwanie. W tak skrajnych warunkach jedynym wyjściem, by przetrwać, była wzajemna solidarność, troska o innego, zasada równości i wzajemny szacunek. Autor mówi też o transetnicznej kulturze ludów żyjących na morzu, zjawisku morza jako płynnego elementu, który nie dzieli, lecz raczej łączy różne brzegi, kultury i języki. Opisuje wyspiarski świat, gdzie najważniejszą zasadą społeczną jest praca, poświęcenie dla innego oraz wysoka wartość jednostki, która zasługuje na szacunek dzięki pracy i ofiarności, łagodzącym indywidualne interesy.

IDENTIFIKASI BAKTERI RESISTEN MERKURI PADA INDIVIDU DI DAERAH PESISIR PANTAI DI DESA BUDO KECAMATAN WORI

Mercury is a silver liquid element at room temperature. Mercury form a variety of both inorganic and organic compounds. Mercury that goes into the sea, there is evaporated back into the atmosphere and fall to the ground experiencing methylation. Mercury in water can undergo methylation area with the help of the sulfate reducing bacteria and iron. Not only mercury from only rainwater but sediment mercury in the bottom waters can also be converted into methyl mercury. MeHg is harmful to humans, because it will accumulate MeHg in plankton or microorganisms. Then the plankton and microorganisms will be eaten by predators higher up the food chain in consumption by humans. This tudy aims to determine determine mercury resistant bacteria found in individuals in the coastal areas. The study design was a descriptive exploratory method. Samples taken in this study was a colony of mercury -resistant bacteria in tartar, urine and feces. Specimens were obtained put in a sterile pot and immediately brought to the biology laboratory in the MIPA Unsrat Manado Faculty to the identification of mercury -resistant bacteria and test. Isolation of mercury resistant bacterial isolates in 3 samples, obtained 6 isolates. Then test to identify bacteria with morphological, physiological testing, and biochemical testing. Results of a study found four genus of bacteria. Keywords: Mercury , Mercury Resistant Bacteria , Tartar , Urine , Feces Abstrak:Merkuri merupakan suatu unsur berbentuk cair keperakan pada suhukamar. Merkuri membentuk berbagai persenyawaan baik anorganikmaupun organik. Merkuri yang masuk ke dalam laut, ada yang menguap kembali ke atmosfir dan jatuh ke tanah mengalami metilisasi. Merkuri dalam daerah perairan dapat mengalami metilisasi dengan bantuan bakteri pereduksi sulfat dan besi. Tidak hanya merkuri dari air hujan saja tetapi sedimen merkuri di dasar perairan juga dapat diubah menjadi metil merkuri. MeHg ini berbahaya bagi manusia, karena MeHg ini akan terakumulasi dalam plankton atau mikroorganisme. Kemudian plankton dan mikroorganisme ini akan di makan oleh predator yang lebih tinggi lagi dalam rantai makanan hingga di konsumsi oleh manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui mengetahui bakteri resisten merkuri yang terdapat pada individu di daerah pesisir pantai. Desain penelitian adalah metode deskriptif eksploratif. Sampel yang diambil dalam penelitian ini adalah koloni bakteri resisten merkuri pada karang gigi, urin dan feses.

The first coordination number for liquid metals

A simple and absolute method for the calculation of the first coordination number for any pure, isotropic liquid element is presented. The liquid density and the position for the first peak of the radial distribution function, assumed to be the atomic diameter, are the only parameters required. The coordination number for liquid metals that exhibit a BCC (body-centred cube) solid structure averages 7.4 while the first coordination number for liquid metals with a FCC (face-centred cube) or CPH (close-packed hexagonal) solid structure averages 7.1. Those liquid elements that have less closed-packed solid structures have a first coordination number less than 7.0. The calculation also correctly predicts the first coordination number for liquid Se to be 2.4, consistent with its chain-like structure. The calculated values for the liquid element coordination numbers are consistent with the decrease in density of a few percent that occurs upon melting and appear to be related to the Engel–Brewer valence of the solid, which suggests that the electron structure of the solid may be retained upon melting. The first coordination numbers for liquid Ge and Si were calculated to be 5.0 and 4.7, respectively, larger than the value of 4.0 for solid structures. The increase in coordination number upon melting accounts for the increase in density of Ge and Si that occurs upon melting.PACS No.: 61.20.Gy
