The Performances at the Theatre of the Pythion in Gortyna, Crete. Virtual Acoustics Analysis as a Support for Interpretation
Authors: Manzetti Maria Cristina 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The location of the so-called “small” Roman theatre of Gortyna (Crete), precisely at the back of the temple dedicated to Apollo Pythios, suggests a clear correlation of this monument with religious rituals. We may suppose that the theatre was used in particular during the Ludi Apollinares (Pythia), namely games and a festival dedicated to the God Apollo (held for the first time in Rome in 212 BC) or during the iso-Olympic agones as witnessed by the epigraphic sources of the imperial age. However, we have to consider also the possibility that the “small” theatre of Gortyna could have housed civic ceremonies or other activities related to the life of the Koinon ton Kreton, the federal assembly of all the Cretan cities which had its seat during the imperial times right in the space of the sanctuary. This paper aims to verify the typology of performances and activities that could take place in the theatre of the Pythion (namely if it was more suitable for music or speech) through virtual acoustics analysis. The study of the acoustics’ quality has provided significant support to formulate hypotheses about the primary function of the theatre of the Pythion at Gortyna.
Religious Experience: Experience of Transparency and Resonance
Authors: Theissen Gerd 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
At a time in which religion is breaking away from the normative power of its traditions and new forms of spiritual experience are emerging, religious philosophy must find criteria for what a religious experience is and how to judge its truth. In their empirical critique of religion L. Wittgenstein and R. Carnap accepted two forms of religious experience, which they described with an optical and acoustic metaphor. They denied their cognitive truth value, but not their value for life. However, an extended concept of truth, which encompasses every correspondence between experience and reality, can also find truth in religious experiences of “transparency” and “resonance”. They differ from aesthetic experience not only by the depth of transparency and resonance, but also by their cognitive interpretation. What is experienced is cognitively referred to a final reality: either to a “summum ens” in this world, or to the whole of this world or something unknown beyond of this world. This final point of reference is a unity of “being” and “value”. Religion makes experiences of the everyday transparent for both aspects of an ultimate reality und motivates to a life full of resonance with this reality.

Meeting with social robots like the cat-cucumber meeting? An integrated model of human-robot first contact. Psychological perspective.
Authors: Maj Konrad , Zarzycki Pawel 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
People contacts with social robots, especially humanoid ones, are still rare. The vastness of research shows that we have cognitive relationships. Based on the studies in the field of social psychology, we propose an integrated theoretical model of developing cognitive category “social robot” and the mental model as a result of contact with the robot. We are discussing the consequences of this process, both social and personal, such as cognitive conflicts, unmet expectations and disappointments.
Collective expression: how robotic swarms convey information with group motion
Authors: St-Onge David , Levillain Florent , Zibetti Elisabetta , Beltrame Giovanni 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
When faced with the need of implementing a decentralized behavior for a group of collaborating robots, strategies inspired from swarm intelligence often avoid considering the human operator, granting the swarm with full autonomy. However, field missions require at least to share the output of the swarm to the operator. Unfortunately, little is known about the users’ perception of group behavior and dynamics, and there is no clear optimal interaction modality for swarms. In this paper, we focus on the movement of the swarm to convey information to a user: we believe that the interpretation of artificial states based on groups motion can lead to promising natural interaction modalities. We implement a grammar of decentralized control algorithms to explore their expressivity. We define the expressivity of a movement as a metric to measure how natural, readable, or easily understandable it may appear. We then correlate expressivity with the control parameters for the distributed behavior of the swarm. A first user study confirms the relationship between inter-robot distance, temporal and spatial synchronicity, and the perceived expressivity of the robotic system. We follow up with a small group of users tasked with the design of expressive motion sequences to convey internal states using our grammar of algorithms. We comment on their design choices and we assess the interpretation performance by a larger group of users. We show that some of the internal states were perceived as designed and discuss the parameters influencing the performance.

Homogenous dispersion and interfacial bonding of carbon nanotube reinforced with aluminum matrix composite: A review
Authors: Hashim Hanizam , Salleh Mohd Shukor , Omar Mohd Zaidi 
Published: January 2020

AbstractRecent developments in the field of carbon nanotube (CNT) have attracted attentions on a new development of aluminum matrix composite (AMC). Homogenous dispersion and interfacial bonding of CNT/metal matrix are the two main problems yet to have sound solutions. In general, to ensure uniform dispersion, the overall process can be divided into three steps: preprocessing, mixing and post processing. This paper summarizes previous works on solid and liquid processing techniques which some are more successful than others by looking at the improvement of the composite tensile strengths. On the other hand the interfacial bonding depends on the existance of Al4C3 phase and physical conditions of CNT. Both elements must be controlled for the optimized results. The review presented here would be used as references in the future works to fabricate higher strength CNT/aluminum composites.

Abstract
It is demonstrated by a detailed structural analysis that the crystallinity and the efficiency of small molecule based organic photovoltaics can be tuned by solvent vapor annealing (SVA). Blends made of the small molecule donor 2,2′-[(3,3′″,3″″,4′-tetraoctyl[2,2′:5′,2″:5″,2′″:5′″,2″″-quinquethiophene]-5,5″″-diyl)bis[(Z)-methylidyne(3-ethyl-4-oxo-5,2-thiazolidinediylidene)]]bis-propanedinitrile (DRCN5T) and the acceptor [6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) were annealed using solvent vapors with either a high solubility for the donor (tetrahydrofuran), the acceptor (carbon disulfide) or both (chloroform). The samples were analyzed by grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS), electron diffraction, X-ray pole figures, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). A phase separation of DRCN5T and PC71BM is induced by SVA leading to a crystallization of DRCN5T and the formation of a DRCN5T enriched layer. The DRCN5T crystallites possess the two dimensional oblique crystal system with the lattice parameters a = 19.2 Å, c = 27.1 Å, and β = 111.1° for the chloroform case. No major differences in the crystal structure for the other solvent vapors were observed. However, the solvent choice strongly influences the size of the DRCN5T enriched layer. Missing periodicity in the [010]-direction leads to the extinction of all Bragg reflections with k ≠ 0. The annealed samples are randomly orientated with respect to the normal of the substrate (fiber texture).
Contact Analysis for Contact Thermoforming of PMMA Sheet

Published: January 2020

Abstract
The ability to produce products with more uniformity in the wall thickness distribution makes contact thermoforming the most suitable optical product processing method. Among all the process parameters, the contact condition significantly affects the structural strength and the optical properties of the product. Thus, it is imperative to investigate the effect of change in the contact conditions on product thickness. Hence, in this study, experimental investigations on contact conditions were performed considering poly(methyl methacrylate) as the sheet material and stainless steel 304 as the punch material. Experiments were conducted to examine the effect of temperature on the coefficient of friction (mechanical contact condition) and the effect of pressure on the thermal contact conductance (thermal contact condition). It was found that the contact conditions change significantly with changes in the operating conditions. Furthermore, numerical simulations were performed, considering isothermal processing and nonisothermal processing with constant and variable contact conditions to identify the effect of the change in contact condition on the product thickness. It was found that the change in contact condition has a considerable effect on the product thickness distribution. This study shows the importance of incorporation of the change in the contact condition for realistic simulations.
Optogenetic Control of Spine-Head JNK Reveals a Role in Dendritic Spine Regression

Published: January 2020

AbstractIn this study, we use an optogenetic inhibitor of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) in dendritic spine sub-compartments of rat hippocampal neurons. We show that JNK inhibition exerts rapid (within seconds) reorganization of actin in the spine-head. Using real-time Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to measure JNK activity, we find that either excitotoxic insult (NMDA) or endocrine stress (corticosterone), activate spine-head JNK causing internalization of AMPARs and spine retraction. Both events are prevented upon optogenetic inhibition of JNK, and rescued by JNK inhibition even 2 h after insult. Moreover, we identify that the fast-acting anti-depressant ketamine reduces JNK activity in hippocampal neurons suggesting that JNK inhibition may be a downstream mediator of its anti-depressant effect. In conclusion, we show that JNK activation plays a role in triggering spine elimination by NMDA or corticosterone stress, whereas inhibition of JNK facilitates regrowth of spines even in the continued presence of glucocorticoid. This identifies that JNK acts locally in the spine-head to promote AMPAR internalization and spine shrinkage following stress, and reveals a protective function for JNK inhibition in preventing spine regression.
Late Mesozoic Volcanism in the Ust’-Kara Basin (Eastern Transbaikalia) and Its Relationship with Magmatism of the Great Xing’an and East Mongolian Volcanic Belts

Published: January 2020

Abstract
—The origin of the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous volcanism within the northern part of the Argun terrane (eastern Transbaikalia) is considered. New data on the geology, age, and composition of late Mesozoic volcanic complexes of the Ust’-Kara basin are presented. Three stages of volcanism have been identified: Tithonian–Berriasian (~150–143 Ma), Valanginian (~140–136 Ma), and Hauterivian (~134–131 Ma), during which volcanic rocks and sediments of three formations (Udyugan, Ust’-Kara, and Shilka, respectively) were deposited. The petrochemical and geochemical characteristics of the rocks of these formations are considered. The compositions of chemically similar rocks evolved toward an increase in the contents of incompatible elements. The rocks of the Ust’-Kara basin are compared with the coeval igneous rocks of the Great Xing’an and East Mongolian belts, which formed in the settings of an active margin and intracontinental rifting, respectively. It is shown that the rocks of the basin are similar in composition to the volcanics of the Great Xing’an belt. A conclusion has been drawn that the late Mesozoic magmatism in the northern part of the Argun terrane was controlled by subduction processes, which led to the formation of the late Mesozoic active continental margin of the Asian continent.
Implementasi Paradigma Islam Wasathiyah; Strategi Menjaga Masa Depan Keindonesiaan

Abstract:Indonesia is a country with a society that has a very high level of diversity (heterogeneous-pluralistic), and is framed in a united harmony of solidarity, and is based on Pancasila as the ideology of the nation. This is in accordance with the ideals of the nation's founders with the motto Unity in Diversity (they remain one). Such diverse community conditions are certainly easily provoked by SARA issues, especially religious issues and have the potential to cause enormous conflict. The presence of hardliners in all walks of life is certainly a challenge for the government. Hardliners try to replace the ideology of the nation with the Wahhab / Muslim Brotherhood ideology that is extreme, hard, and rigid. This hardliner group aspires to the Khillafah Islamiyah state which is clearly in conflict with the foundations of the Pancasila state and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The birth of the Wasathiyah Paradigm as an intellectual response to his concern for the thought of hardliners who tried to divide the nation. Wasathiyah's true understanding is able to harmonize inclusive and moderate thinking so as to create peace in the life of the nation and state, as well as building a progressive civilization.Keywords: Hardliners, Wasathiyah, Moderation Abstrak: Indonesia adalah negara dengan masyarakat yang memiliki tingkat keberagaman sangat tinggi (heterogen-pluralistik), dan di bingkai dalam satu kesatuan harmoni solidaritas, serta berlandaskan Pancasila sebagai ideologi bangsa.

Kondisi masyarakat yang beragam seperti inilah tentu mudah terprovokasi oleh isu-isu SARA terlebih isu agama dan berpotensi menimbulkan konflik yang sangat besar. Hadirnya para kelompok garis keras di segala lini kehidupan tentu menjadi sebuah tantangan bagi pemerintah. Kelompok garis keras berusaha mengganti ideologi bangsa dengan ideologi Wahabi/Ikhwanul Muslimin yang ekstrem, keras, dan kaku. Kelompok garis keras ini mencita-citakan negara Khillafah Islamiyah yang jelas-jelas sangat bertentangan dengan dasar negara Pancasila dan UUD NRI 1945. Hal tersebut menjadi sebuah acaman yang membahayakan bagi persatuan bangsa dan berpotensi mendorong bangsa kita ke dalam jurang kehancuran. Lahirnya Paradigma Wasathiyah sebagai respon para intelektual terhadap keprihatinnannya terhadap pemikiran kelompok garis keras yang berusaha memecah belah bangsa. Pemahaman Wasathiyah yang benar mampu menyelaraskan pemikiran yang inklusif dan moderat sehingga mewujudkan kedamaian dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara, serta membangun peradaban yang berkemajuan.Keywords: Kelompok Garis Keras, Wasathiyah, Moderasi

Abstract:The Constitutional Court's Decision is a product of the Judicial Review that was submitted to test the validity of the law against the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. In the implementation there are two models of the system of testing the law, namely centralized or decentralized system. Both have fundamental differences because the decentralized review system is not Erga Omnes, while the centralized system has the binding nature of Erga Omnes. The research method uses normative juridical methods, using secondary data obtained through literature study and analyzed qualitatively. The results and discussion of this research are that the Constitutional Court has provided much better direction for Indonesian legal politics, as seen from its objective decisions.Keywords: Erga Ormes, Constitutional Court, Statutory Regulations.

AbstractIn Malaysia, there are still a number of small minority groups living far from urban areas. They are called Orang Asli. The life system is still very simple and underdeveloped. This native place is often targeted by da'wah and other religious approaches each year. Until recently the emergence of a statement from the humanitarian group, namely Pro Human Rights (Proham), which refused to preach the native people. As well as criticizing the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) for the involvement of indigenous propaganda. Then this issue received support from a group of liberals in Malaysia. They argue that these activities have usurped the right to freedom of religion. This statement shows that there are acts of discrimination against Islam.
