Dusk and Dawn in Medieval Islam: on the Importance of Twilight Phenomena with Some Examples of Their Representations in Texts and on Instruments
Authors: Schmidl Petra G.
Published: April 2023

Dusk and dawn are one of the most important astronomical phenomenon used in Islamic ritual worship. They are connected with two of the five pillars of Islam, the fasting in Ramadan, and the ritual prayer. They are to be performed at the right time to be accepted. To know about dusk is necessary in Ramadan to determine the end of fasting, and about dawn to determine the beginning of fasting ‘when a white thread may be distinguished from a black’ (Sura 2,187). Further they are in need of determining three of the five daily ritual prayers in Islam, the evening prayer, the night prayer and the morning prayer. All of them are defined by twilight phenomena. These prayers rest on the Qur'an (see Sura 11,114, Sura 17,78 and Sura 50,39f) and the Sunna, the Hadith collections with the acts and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. These collection contain different descriptions or definitions of these prayer times. Most of them are phenomenological, for example ‘Do the morning prayer when the stars become indistinct!’ (Malik, Muwatta’, Wuqut al-salat, Wuqut al-salat (no. 6)). According to their position in Islamic religious duties dusk and dawn were widely discussed in different medieval Islamic astronomical sources, in texts and on instruments. On the one hand, in an astronomical tradition often called mathematical, the definition of these prayer times by twilight phenomena lead to exact and approximative methods to calculate time and duration of twilight by the angle of the solar depression below the horizon. These values are represented in tables and on instruments, especially on astrolabes. On the other hand texts on time keeping and the determination of the Qibla, the sacred direction in Islam towards Mecca, not written for the astronomical expert and probably produced in a legal context, so called folk astronomical texts, deals with the time and duration of twilight in two different kinds. First, there are rough approximative methods of determining the beginning, duration and end of dusk and dawn by the Lunar Mansions using them as a 'star clock'. Second, these texts contain detailed descriptions of the twilight phenomena in the morning and in the evening probably based on observations which are very useful to interpret the definitions given in the Hadiths. These descriptions are a beautiful example of an astronomical phenomenon which influenced the ritual worship of one of the three great monotheistic religions.
Borromini and the New Astronomy: the elliptical dome
Authors: Shrimplin Valerie
Published: April 2023

The cosmological view of the universe has frequently been reflected in art and architecture, especially in the cosmological symbolism attached to domed architecture, which relates to the traditional perception of the flat earth covered by the dome of heaven. Examples range from Byzantine churches to the revival of domed architecture during the Renaissance, and the decoration of the domes themselves also often alludes to astronomical symbolism. The reflection of contemporary perceptions of the universe in art developed dramatically during the Renaissance alongside the changing view of the universe, instigated by such thinkers as Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo. While Copernicus challenged the accepted order in his heliocentric system, Kepler further demonstrated that the ordering of the movement in the universe was in fact based on elliptical rather than perfect circular motion. Contemporary with Kepler’s writings, the work of the Baroque architect Borromini appears to have been influenced by the enormous changes in world view, cosmology and astronomy of the age. His major architectural works reflect seventeenth century scientific developments and are often based on schemes of mathematical precision. His use of the elliptical dome in preference to traditional classical and humanist precepts, such as the perfection of the circular form, appears to be related to the changing cosmological view and it seems unlikely to be a coincidence that that the predilection for elliptical domes in ecclesiastical architecture comes in at about the same time as Kepler.
Cicero's Use of Astronomy as Proof of the Existence of the Gods
Authors: Stein Joshua
Published: April 2023

Some two thousand years before scientists in Rome and Tucson came up with the idea of INSAP, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BCE) was well on his way to exploring the reciprocal possibilities of astronomy’s inspiration on human understanding. As he sometimes did, Cicero set up a fictional conversation, this one between advocates of Epicurean and Stoic philosophy and the philosophy of the Neo-Platonic school called ‘The Academy’. In the course of the Stoic’s presentation, the stars, planets, the sun and the moon are evoked. Are they gods? Is the universe itself God? Is the universe the living God with the planets being lesser gods? What is man’s place in the cosmos? Why was the world (the totality of creation) formed, and by whom? What does the unchanging nature of the celestial order teach us about ourselves and our roles on earth and in the universe? These are some of the questions the discussants ask, and answer. Cicero’s philosophy, based on his understanding of the heavens, the questions he asks, his obvious fascination with the heavens, are as contemporary as any modern poets’.
Art and Astronomy in the Service of Religion Observations on the Work of John Russell (1745–1806)
Authors: Steinhoefel Antje
Published: April 2023

John Russell’s lunar images have so far been neglected and misunderstood by both historians of art and of astronomy. On the one hand this is due to the fact that the images do not come within many current definitions of the notion of art, particularly when the function of art is seen as an agency of subjective experience. Ironically, the reverse of this argument explains why historians of astronomy neglected Russell’s moon images. Compared with the more technical look of lunar maps, equipped with latitude and longitude grids as well as legends, Russell’s ‘photo-realistic’ pastels came across as works of art. They were therefore neglected because of their very nature, their double identity combining aspects from both art and astronomy. On the other hand, the moon images have to be seen in the context of Russell’s life and as more than just the work of an artist and astronomer, but also as the work of a Methodist. Russell’s lifelong devotion to Methodism is well known. Never before, however, has this pivotal attitude of the artist towards religion been taken into account in connection with the study of his moon images. In my paper I argue that Russell was part of the movement that attempted to unite nature and religion in the late eighteenth century. While prominent artists such as William Blake argued that nature was the work of the devil and to study it was blasphemy, Russell shared his beliefs with other evangelicals who saw the study of nature in no contradiction with God at all. In fact, Russell actively searched for proof of God’s part in the creation of the world and His presence within it. This association between God and nature has been termed natural theology and peaked in the late seventeenth century, with the work of Isaac Newton himself. I attempt to show that Russell conducted years of astronomical study, leading to the moon pastels, out of religious motivation. This contextualisation of Russell’s work within the tradition that believed in the ‘God of Nature’, will, I hope, explain the previously unsolved puzzle of the artist’s incentive to portrait the moon.
The Imperial Shrines of Ise: An Ancient Star Cult?
Authors: Teeuwen Mark
Published: April 2023

Japan’s ancient imperial cult has consistently been understood to revolve around the figure of the sun-goddess and imperial ancestor Amaterasu. The symbolism of Amaterasu’s shrine in Ise has been interpreted on the basis of this same premise. There is, however, one dissenting voice: the work of Yoshino Hiroko, who argues that behind the solar façade, imperial worship of Ise reflected an ancient star cult of Chinese origin. This paper finds arguments both for and against this daring hypothesis.
Translations of Kepler’s Astrological Writings Part I, Section 3.2. Kepler’s Nativity of Augustus
Authors: Linde Cornelia
Published: April 2023

This section translates two reports, with calculations, that Kepler wrote to Emperor Rudolf II on the topic of the Emperor Augustus’s nativity. The reports are undated, but the second wishes the Emperor a Happy New Year. This was not the only time that Kepler attempted to recreate the birthchart of Augustus. In a series of 1599 letters to Herwart von Hohenburg, Kepler discusses what the nativity of Augustus might be, basing his research on ancient authors. In those letters, he supposes that sub Capricorno’ means a Capricorn Ascendant. In the following analysis, however, he advocates a Capricorn Moon.
A Possible Babylonian Precursor to the Theory of ecpyrosis
Authors: van der Sluijs Marinus Anthony
Published: April 2023

It has repeatedly been proposed that the classical theory of the Great Year had its origins in Babylonia. Attempts to substantiate this connection were frustrated by the absence of the motif of an ecpyrosis or ‘world fire’ in Mesopotamian literature. The Neo-Babylonian text Erra and Isum may fill this gap.
The Influence of Orphic Beliefs on the Development of Hellenistic Astrology
Authors: Greene Liz
Published: April 2023

Orphism has been a scholarly battleground since the 19th century. Past and present conflicts within the field, as well as a general reluctance on the part of researchers to acknowledge the historical importance of astrology, have obscured the relevance of Orphic astrological motifs that may have influenced both the development of Hellenistic astrology and the cosmological aspects of philosophy from the Presocratic period through Plato to the late classical period and beyond. Consequently, there has been little or no research into the astrological dimension of Orphic beliefs. This paper, while not discussing the details of Hellenistic astrological techniques, is intended to open a discussion on the subject of Orphic influences on the development of Hellenistic astrology.
Astronomical Luni-Solar Cycles and the Chronology of the Masoretic Bible
Authors: Cohen Ariel
Published: April 2023

An astronomical table found in al-Khwarizmi’s ninth century CE treatise, related to the Jewish calendar, is analysed in detail. The analysis is used to establish the evidence that until the last centuries of the first millennium CE, the most important events in Jewish history described in the Masoretic text of the Bible were believed to have occurred simultaneously with the reappearances of new moons at the same celestial longitudes. The astronomical solar year of 365.25 days, in use from the first Millennium BCE throughout most parts of the first Millennium CE, and a mean lunar month of 29.5 days and 793 parts of an hour, are used to explain how they influenced the erroneous dating of major events described in the Masoretic text of the Bible by adopting the previously unknown astronomical cycles of 483 and 502 years. Such major events include Adam’s new moon, signifying the ‘year of creation’ and the epoch of ‘Aera Adami’, the birth of Abraham, Exodus with the giving of the Torah, and the building of Temples I and II. The results suggest that the chronology of the Masoretic text of the Old Testament was deliberately adapted to conform to what would be presently regarded as astrological concepts.

Authors: Bushuev N. S. , Shulman D. O. , Rochev N. A.
Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic period in rail freight transportation in Russia is marked by indicators of rapid growth of transit traffic, export and import volumes, the average speed of transportation increase and delivery speed of transit container traffic. The positive dynamics point to the necessity of continuing research in the field of improving the quality of service in this sector of the railway industry.Information materials of transport and logistics companies services were used. The methods and technologies used to improve the quality of service in railway transport were analyzed: reducing the delivery time of goods, increasing the average delivery speed of transit container traffic, identifying the most demanded nomenclature of goods, increasing the total volume of transit container traffic in Russia.Currently, according to the approved Complex Plan of Modernization and Expansion of Mainline Infrastructure, by 2024 the estimated delivery time of transit container transportation across Russia in the West-East direction should be seven days, average delivery speed of transit container traffic should reach 1319 km/day, and the volume of transit container transportation should reach the level of 1656 thousand TEU (Twenty-foot equivalent unit). In this regard, it is necessary to develop a reliable methodology for determining the perspective volumes of container transportation in regular, express and high-speed trains with the identification of the most demanded nomenclature of cargo, taking into account the speed of delivery.
Feasibility study of calculation methods for tram track stiffness
Authors: Dudkin E. P. , Mohsin A. H.A. , Sultanov N. N.
Published: April 2023

Nowadays, design and construction of new urban tramlines require feasibility study of calculation methods for stiffness. A calculation method for tram track stiffness with noise and vibration insulation systems has been developed in this paper. Theoretical analysis of the impact of rail insulation systems on tram-to-slab load transfer has revealed the potential options and factors influencing the choice of a system. The new design method obtained makes it possible to predict the distribution of loads on the load-bearing foundation surface. Different variants of rail/slab load distribution have been determined depending on the mechanical characteristics of rail profiles. Tram track slab stiffness has been calculated for three design models such as rigid surface pavement, bridge structure and foundation slab. The design of the tram track as foundation slab allows calculating slab reinforcement as accurately as possible because the surface pavement takes into account the planned service life and tram flow density in the area under survey.Field experiments have demonstrated a better convergence of theoretical and experimental data when designing the slab as foundation. As a result, a new method for calculating the foundation slab stiffness of a tram track has been proposed taking into account planned service life, tram flow density and other factors.
Modulus of elasticity of non-ballasted track
Authors: Ivanova K. I. , Kolos A. F. , Wang X.
Published: April 2023

The main stiffness properties that determine the stresses in the track structure components under loads from a moving train are the modulus of elasticity of the rail slab and the slab-track/rail correlation stiffness coefficient. These parameters have been investigated for a ballasted track and are well established today, in contrast to those of a non-ballasted track. This study aims at determining the stiffness characteristics of a non-ballasted track, comparing them with those of a ballasted track, and assessing their effect on the stress-strain state (SSS) of the elements of a non-ballasted track structure. Field experiments to measure the stresses in the track structure elements were carried out using strain-gauge methods. As a result of the experiments, the modulus of elasticity and the correlation stiffness coefficient of the rail slab and the rail were determined for the RHEDA2000 slab track system. The results obtained prove it possible to apply a rail-as-beamon-elastic-foundation theory and to use well-established calculation methods for designing a non-ballasted track structure suitable for different operational conditions.

Authors: Yashchenko E. F. , Sinelnikova E. S. , Shumov M. E.
Published: April 2023

In a situation of ambiguity and global crisis, uncertainty tolerance, purpose or meaning in life and life values have become important factors of psychological health and adaptability of the Transport University students. The purpose of this study is to survey the levels of students’ uncertainty tolerance, purpose in life and life values.Sixty students of Saint-Petersburg State Transport University aged 18–22 participated in the survey. The following methods were used in the research: Crumbaugh and Maholic’s PIL (Purpose-in-Life Test) adapted by D. Leontyev; V.F. Sopov and L.V. Karpushina’s Morphological Test of Life Values; E.N. Osin’s adaptation of the McLane Uncertainty Tolerance Scale.The Purpose-in-Life Test have revealed average scores; at the same time, high scores have prevailed on the “Locus of Control – Life” scale. The students’ material and spiritual values proved to be in a good balance. The students’ Uncertainty Tolerance turned out to be at an average level, but the “Uncertainty Tolerance” scale have revealed either high-level or low-level scores.Uncertainty tolerance is related to life values in both males and females. A higher purpose in life tends to promote greater psychological adaptability to ambiguous situations and boosts uncertainty tolerance in general. The females’ uncertainty tolerance is connected to spiritual values, maintaining individuality, creativity, and hobbies. The males’ attitude to novelty is linked to their prestige and achievement.According to the survey, the Transport University students have an average level of uncertainty tolerance, purpose in life, and well-balanced material and spiritual values. Purpose in life is related to higher uncertainty tolerance and adaptability to ambiguous situation. There is some gender specific correlation between life values and uncertainty tolerance among males and females. Females’ attitude is more related to spiritual values whereas males are more oriented to social success.

La calidad percibida por las personas usuarias de un servicio se ha convertido, hoy en día, en el principal referente de la calidad. La Dirección Provincial del SAE en Jaén, con la finalidad de mejorar la calidad del servicio de orientación profesional que se presta a los ciudadanos, propuso su evaluación, que fue realizada mediante la elaboración de un instrumento de medida cuyo marco teórico se sustenta en el desempeño (Cronin y Taylor, 1992, 1994), confirmándose su dimensionalidad mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. La hipótesis de contraste afirmaba, con independencia de la media provincial otorgada por los usuarios a la calidad del servicio, la existencia de diferencias, estadísticamente, significativas o gaps entre las categorías: unidades de orientación y personal técnico y, cuya confirmación, permitiría establecer prioridades de intervención y la metodología adecuada para gestionar y mejorar la calidad del servicio. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1.107 desempleados usuarios del servicio de orientación, obteniendo la recolección de datos mediante encuestas telefónicas. Los resultados muestran que, en el contexto específico de la orientación profesional para el empleo, sólo existen dos dimensiones de la calidad percibida, una objetiva relacionada con componentes externos y otra subjetiva que agrupa, en una única dimensión, el resto de atributos de la calidad considerados (SERVQUAL). Y en relación con las comparativas realizadas, se confirma la hipótesis alterna, lo que ha permitido la implementación de importantes medidas para mejorar la calidad percibida del programa y la correcta prestación del servicio de orientación profesional.

Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: Drug utilization evaluation (DUE) also referred as drug utilization reviews (DUR) or medication utilization evaluation (MUE) are defined as an authorized, structured, ongoing review of healthcare provider prescribing, pharmacist dispensing, and patient use of medication. Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are those which are used for epilepsy and also for other neurological disorders. METHODOLOGY: A prospective observational questionnaire based cross sectional study in 200 patients of various departments receiving at least one AEDs. The subjects were included in the study only after they met the criteria for the study and after properly filling a informed consent form. The data was obtained by a questionnaire format and it is evaluated for utilization patterns, medication adherence. The cost of AEDs were calculated to evaluate total costs on each drug. RESULTS: Out of 200 patients, 140 were male and 60 were female. The age group 11- 20 years were found prominent with epilepsy. The average number of AEDs per patient was found to be 1.54. Among all the drugs prescribed phenytoin was the most common drug prescribed 148 (47.89%) for the treatment, followed by lorazepam 59 (19.09 %) and sodium valproate 27 (8.73 %). Maximum of the patients are high in utilization patterns and also in medication adherence. The chi-square value was 1.1373 and 1.3886 for medication adherence and utilization patterns respectively. CONCLUSION: Medication adherence was also high in patients which was found using morisky medication adherence scale. The utilization pattern was also 82 % by the patients. The cost effectiveness was done by comparing the costs of drugs prescribed during the study. It was found that topiramate is having high cost which can be burden to patient to adhere the therapy.

Indonesian Aviation Law Reform

Published: April 2023

Significant role of air transportation in Indonesia, especially from a political and economic perspective, it has led to rapid developments in the world of national aviation. This remarkable development of air transportation is not supported by adequate laws and regulations, especially those relating to the requirement to obtain compensation in the event of a loss suffered by the passenger due to an error made by the air carrier. Law Number 1 of 2009 Concerning Aviation which is expected to bring about reforms within Aviation Law in Indonesia, especially regarding the terms of liability of the air carrier for losses suffered by air transport service users, there are not many fundamental changes when compared to the provisions contained in the Air Freight Ordinance (Luchvervoer Ordonantie). It is necessary to review the status of Law Number 1 of 2009 as a form of renewal of aviation law in Indonesia. Conditions for accidents need to be expanded, not only accidents experienced by air transportation modes, but accidents experienced by users of air transportation services since paying the transportation costs are the liability of the air carrier. The terms of embarkation so far need to be expanded in terms of meaning, starting from the time the transportation agreement is agreed upon by the payment of transportation costs by the transportation service user and the meaning of disembarkation ending when the transportation service user leaves the destination airport building.
