SYMBOLIZATION OF KERIS PAMOR IN THE MANIFESTATION OF SELF-IDENTITY IN THE SOKOSONGO KERIS COMMUNITY IN SEMARANG DISTRICT

Keris in the understanding of the Indonesian people, especially we as Javanese, understand the keris as a form of Tosan Aji. Javanese people adopt the meanings of the keris through prestige, using the keris as a means of increasing self-confidence and increasing a sense of enthusiasm or ethos in work. Research on the symbolization of prestige on the keris blade is to show the connection between the meaning of the symbol of prestige of the keris and the formation of a person's self-identity. These prestiges are divided into several elements that form them, namely, water, fire, air, earth and special prestige. The keris that will be discussed will be researched using qualitative methods and using an ethnographic approach. This research was carried out in Kesongo Hamlet, Tuntang District, Semarang Regency. In analyzing the data, ethnographic data analysis techniques will be used as an instrument in understanding cultural meaning which includes Domain Analysis, Taxonomic Analysis, Component Analysis and Cultural Theme Analysis. The symbolism in this keris, through its prestige, aims to be a means of prayer and also education or knowledge for its owner, but if the owner does not want to try and does not want to develop, then the prayers and hopes that exist will not come true.

Amber Fort: Its Architectural and Strategic Description 16Th and 17Th century A.D

Abstract: The fort has been concerned to Rulers of the states since ancient times. It was a symbol of prestige, Glory, power of Kingdom or Reign, in the contemporaneous ages of civilization. The skill and practice of constructing forts in India has recorded about 3000B.C. During the Medieval period the Rajput clan of Mewar, India, were prolific builders of Forts, struggle and proud of state and alertness towards security and safety of Forts in their regions. The study reveals that Inspite of harsh physical terrain, relief features, landscape and resources, rigid – intact rocky cliff hillock and strong fortification structure of Amber fort was marked as the architectural marvelous upto 17th century A.D. The architectural features of Amber Fort was known for its artistic Rajput style of elements with its huge ramparts and series of Gates and cobbled, paths and the beneath of these forts their lies a Moata Lake. The water of these lakes was the main source of Amber palace. The fabulous Amber Fort is a widespread palace complex that has been constructed with light yellow and pink sandstone and with white marble. Abul Fazl Akbarnama and Ain-i- Akbari, Abdul Qadar Badaoni Muntakhab - ut - Tawarikh, and Khawaja Niazam–ud- Din Ahmed Tabaqat-i- Akbari gives considerable attention to the significance of this fort from military point of view. The fort of Amber also finds special mention in the Mughal sources.

The purpose of this paper is to address these concerns. Every introduction of the telegraph in India marked the beginning of telecommunications. The postal service and telecommunications India's industries are among the oldest on the planet. The first trial electric telegraph cable was constructed from Calcutta to Diamond Harbor mod 1850. It had been opened in 1851 for the British East India Company's use.

Stats from before liberalization: During every British occupation, all of the country's significant towns and cities were wired utilizing telephones, but there were only about 80,000 telephones in 1948. Because the telephone was viewed as a prestige symbol rather than a useful tool after independence, expansion was modest. The number of telephones steadily increased from 980,000 in 1971 - 1981, 2.15 million to 5.07 million was the number in 1991. That’s when country's economic reforms began.

Glass from the 11th–13th century medieval castle of San Giuliano (Lazio Province, Central Italy)

Compositional analysis of glass from the medieval castle of San Giuliano (Lazio, Italy), occupied from approximately CE 1050–1250, sheds light on the financial wherewithal and integration of the castle’s elite inhabitants into wider economic networks. Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) of 261 shards was used to select 32 for further analysis using wavelength dispersive electron microprobe analysis (EMPA-WDS). This compositional analysis documents the pervasive recycling of earlier glass cullet, some of which pre-dates the 4th century CE. Around 20% of the sample comprised primarily plant ash glass, evidencing the penetration of plant-ash glasses into inland sites on the western central Italian peninsula. Almost 60% of the shards were an intermediate glass combining more recent plant ash glasses with recycled natron-based glass cullet derived from the Roman and Early Medieval periods. Compared to glass assemblages from contemporaneous sites, the levels of both recycled and intermediate glasses are quite high, with a concurrent incidence of trace elements that further precluded the manufacture of perfectly translucent glass vessels. This suggests that while the residents of the castle desired glass as a symbol of prestige, they may not have had the economic resources to obtain glass of the highest quality.

Editorial Note

Excellence in scientific research has become a necessity rather than merely a symbol of prestige. With the advent of digital media, the dissemination of research contributions has become very friendly. Every individual has inherent skills in research and itscommunication, which need to be identified and developed. Adequate motivation in this direction and the appropriate platforms for publishing are vital in promoting the publishing trend. The idea of International Journal of Advanced Thermofluid Research (IJATR) was struck in mind during my doctoral research period at Universiti Sains Malaysia, which provided me everything needed to perform and grow in research and publishing. While acknowledging the diverse publishing platforms in the field of thermal sci ence and engineering, IJATR attempts to provide a venue for timely publication of contributions from the broad domain of thermofluids. The term thermofluid is defined to encompass energy, thermal science, fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, combustion and all related domains. I am pleased and proud to present this document in front of the august audience. I have taken the daring step to launch IJATR with a strong confidence to develop it to a level that would comply with the quality standards of a leading research journal in the area. Admitting the obvious shortcomings as a beginner, I earnestly seek supports, constructive comments and suggestions from the respected readers, to improve its quality. I hereby gratefully acknowledge the supports of Prof. A. A. Mohamed, Prof. Raymod Viskanda, and the invaluable contributions of the authors, associate editors, reviewers and my colleagues, in realizing the successful launching of IJATR. Dr. M.

Quality of Work Life (QWL) and Its Impact on the Performance of the Banking Industry in Saudi Arabia

The quality of work life (QWL), job satisfaction, and individual work performance are the lynchpins of organizational performance and sustained business growth (SBG). Numerous researchers have recognized an association between QWL and SBG. Positive QWL dimensions ensure a workforce’s commitment to SBG. Like SERVQUAL, the QWL has several dimensions, and the most common are: (1) job satisfaction, (2) autonomy, (3) physical working environment, (4) remuneration, (5) career growth, (6) collegial relationships, and (7) relationship with management. A career in the banking industry has always been considered a symbol of prestige, prosperity, job security, and job satisfaction. To understand this, we present the WRKLFQUAL model to measure QWL and its impact on job security and satisfaction (JSS) and individual work performance (IWP). The dimensions and subdimensions of WRKLFQUAL are different from the dimensions and subdimensions of SERVQUAL; however, mechanisms measuring service quality and QWL have similar approaches. Accordingly, this study applied gap analysis to find what workforces expected from their work environments, as well as what they have actually experienced. Many researchers have argued that gaps in service quality significantly influence business performance. In this regard, our research found that almost all dimensions of WRKLFQUAL have negative gaps, meaning poor QWL causes job dissatisfaction and hampers IWP. Regression analysis also shows that average gaps have a significant relationship with job satisfaction. Finally, research proves that job security and satisfaction plays a mediating role in average gap scores and individual work performance. This study was carried out with reference to the banking sector’s performance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as follows. Cronbach’s α score suggests that 95% of the sample is free of error. To apply WRKLFQUAL on the same lines those of SERVQUAL, we developed seven dimensions and 28 subdimensions. Based on these dimensions, seven factors were extracted, all with factor loading between 0.745 and 0.835, confirming that all components had quite a high level of common variance. Accordingly, gaps in QWL, ranging from −0.997 to −1.149, also show that almost all the dimensions and subdimensions need improvements. Carrying this analysis further, we also compared QWL between Saudi and non-Saudi multinational banks and found that the QWL of the Saudi banking system has a slight edge over non-Saudi multinational banks. A correlation among seven predictors, ranging from 0.625 to 0.812, suggests that all seven predictors are highly correlated. Similarly, regression analysis with R2 0.704 shows that we have a good-fitting model. Hence, we argue that JSS depends on QWL and conclude that negative QWL causes job dissatisfaction and insecurity. We also examined the mediating impact of JSS on QWL and IWP and conclude that the Sobel test, in most cases, provided results higher than 1.98, which is the minimum criterion of having Sobel be significant and effective. Hence, we prove that JSS has a mediating role in QWL and IWP. Finally, we conclude that poor QWL causes job dissatisfaction and eventually reduces organizational efficiency.

The Making of Business Nobility. The Social Rise of Austrian Businessmen after 1848

In the 19th century, the society of the Habsburg monarchy underwent a fundamental transformation. The changes associated with the year 1848 and the demise of the estate society also significantly affected the social position of businessmen. Their position before this date was not legally defined and prestige did not depend on their property, but on their place in the traditional ranking of the social hierarchy associated with the possession of burgher rights or the noble title. Their prestige began to grow after this date, mainly due to the ever closer cooperation with the state and growing political influence. In the new era, the noble title was not a prerequisite for belonging to the elite, but for many people it was still a symbol of prestige and many businessmen sought it. They saw in it a demonstration of their achievements and a fulcrum for the historical memory of their entire family.

WOMEN IN ISLAMIC FEMINIST VIEW

This research article aims to examine women in Islamic studies who have occupied a very top position. Dialogical studies on women have been widely discussed by gender activists, especially discussions on gender equality. Among the feminist figures who advocate for women's rights and gender equality are Qasim Amin, Amina Wadud Muhsin, Fatimah Mernissi, and Asghar Ali Engineer. They look at women through their own thinking glasses. This paper only presents some of the opinions of these feminist figures, however, apart from the two opinions above, it is rarely mentioned that the presence of the Qur’an text on the theme of polygamy is a social response to the situation in pre- Islamic society, which tends to marry women in order to dominate. orphan properties. In addition, at that time polygamy was considered a symbol of prestige and social status, so it was not uncommon to find a tribal chief marrying many women and even tens or hundreds of them. Therefore, Islam actually comes with a message of social change to regulate unlimited polygamy, to restrictions and finally to monogamy; where women are no longer seen as property, but as equal partners to men. a more in-depth study there are still many thoughts of other Muslim feminist figures

DIALECTIC OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS AND SKYSCRAPERS AS GREEN SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS

The low-rise development has always been compatible with Human nature, it has been the dominant trend and it is also compatible with the environment. At the same time, tall buildings, despite their rarity, constitutes an emblem of pride and a symbol of prestige and wealth .The process of constructing very tall buildings or skyscrapers is controversial in all fields. Very tall buildings are harmful to the environment and to their occupants, and from this standpoint there are those who reject them and see that they are an infringement on the environment. The truth is that there cannot be one simplified answer, because there are cases in which tall buildings are needed or justified, and in other cases the construction of tall buildings will become a problem.The balance between the two directions in the sense of when to build very tall buildings and when not to build, is what this research discusses .While there are places where tall buildings should be refrained from, such as areas of heritage value, nature reserves and areas where the sky line is affected, it has been shown that the use of skyscrapers or very tall buildings in some places may be logical and have positive economic and tourism effects, such as high-density city centers and waterfronts, which allows a large number of residents or users to benefit from the economic or visual advantages, also in high-density areas it gives a chance for the presence of open spaces, routes for car traffic and parking. Other places, especially where there is a conflict whether to construct tall building or prevent them, are studied on a case by case basis.Finally, if there is a necessity or a sovereign decision has been taken or a need for the construction of very tall buildings or skyscrapers, then building should be designed in a sustainable manner that reduces the negative and harmful impact on the residents and the surrounding environment, and set standards regulating this.

Sociální vzestup podnikatelů v Rakouském císařství

The events of the mid-19th century marked a fundamental change for Central Europe, and the Austrian monarchy was no exception. Although the revolution of 1848 did not mean the permanent entrenchment of liberal changes (which did not occur until the adoption of the February Constitution in 1861), the changes associated with these events fundamentally changed the society of the empire. The end of the division of society and the introduction of equality before the law also significantly affected the social position of businessmen. Before 1848, their legal status was not defined and prestige depended primarily on the place on the traditional ranking of the social hierarchy, which was linked to the holding of a noble title or burgher rights. However, the year 1848 changed this situation and their prestige began to grow thanks to ever closer cooperation with the state and growing political influence. Since the change of the electoral rules to the Chamber of Deputies of the Austrian Imperial Council in 1873, businessmen have even had their own curia (chambers of commerce and trade). At this time, the aristocratic title was no longer a prerequisite for belonging to the elite, but it remained an external symbol of prestige and many businessmen sought it. They saw in it a depiction of their achievements and a fulcrum for the historical memory of their entire family. However, the path to it was not easy and in the case of businessmen it also differed significantly from other social groups of the monarchy.

Socio-Cultural Implications of Son Preference: A Case of Danyor, Gilgit

The study deals with the dilemma of son preference and its causes and consequences. The fieldwork was conducted in village 'Danyor' in Gilgit-Baltistan, for the period of six months. Socio-economic survey was conducted from seventy-five households, detailed in-depth interviews were taken from thirty respondents in addition to 35 case studies. The field findings revealed the prevailing perceptions are sons as powerful and socially strong, owner and successor of family property, old age security for parents, symbol of prestige, custodian of family strength and honor etc. On the contrary, daughters are considered as burden of dowry and financial dependency on parents. The study concludes that son preference results in many discriminatory practices against female child such as abortion of female fetus, high infant mortality, lower status of daughters bearing mother in the family, short birth spacing, high probability of husband's remarriage and increased chances of being divorced.

La traduction littéraire qui n’est pas que la traduction. Sur les enjeux traductologiques au Canada

The article aims to take a close look at the literary relations between English- and French-speaking Canada. Among different possibilities, the author analyzes specific cases concerning literary prizes, in particular winners of the Governor General’s Prize in the category of translation. As it is one of the most prestigious awards in Canada, it undoubtedly conditions the reception of a literary work, being a symbol of prestige. The choice of the jury can sometimes seem surprising or even confusing, as it was the case of Nancy Huston or Jacques Brault who won the prize in the category of translation. Without a doubt, the specificity of the translation à la canadienne goes beyond any distinctions and descriptions and – being also a political issue – revolts against all control and all interference.

Deporte, publicidad y marcas en los libros de texto de educación física

El marquismo se caracteriza por un consumo irreflexivo y desmedido, guiado por la exhibición de marcas, símbolo de prestigio e identificación con los grandes agentes mediáticos, entre ellos las figuras deportivas. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la presencia de publicidad encubierta y marcas en los libros de texto de Educación Física en España. Este aspecto compromete las finalidades del sistema educativo con respecto al consumo responsable. El estudio fue descriptivo y llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido de 6.773 fotografías. Se realizó un análisis univariante y bivariante y se aplicó el test χ2, con una confianza de 95%. El porcentaje de fotografías con presencia de marca en los libros de Educación Física indicó una falta de atención a este fenómeno por parte de la institución educativa. Los libros reprodujeron el sistema de marcas y el patrocinio deportivo en sus fotografías. La presencia de marcas en los atuendos deportivos contribuye al fenómeno del marquismo en el alumnado. Las señas de identidad que encuentran los estudiantes en los libros de texto se vinculan con personas competitivas, que forman parte de la élite, visten ropa de marca y lucran con el patrocinio deportivo, independientemente de la ética comercial de la empresa patrocinadora. Así, los manuales escolares contribuyen a intereses comerciales privados.

Patronage and Capitalism in the Musical Associations of Late Nineteenth-Century Colonial Manila

The rapid economic growth in the colony beginning in the mid-nineteenth century gave rise to a modernity that transformed the musical mode of production in Manila. A new market comprised of the culturally-supportive elite and middle-class population patronised musical productions. In addition, musicians and other artists formed unions to create an institutionalised representation of themselves corresponding to the larger socio-political and economic forces in the network of production, creating new relations necessary in the existing social formation. Exchanges between the various players of the musical mode of production required matching forces to avoid exploitation, particularly of labour. This article examines three of the more prominent musical associations in the late nineteenth century—Liceo Artistico-Literario, Sociedad de Conciertos Union Artistico-Musical, and Sociedad Musical Filipina de Santa Cecilia—investigating how they advanced music and education and promoted the arts, regulated the practice of music making, responded to the market demand for commoditised music labour, and accelerated modernity in Philippine music during the last decades of Spanish colonial rule. Their patronage represented the continuing feudal and new capitalist systems of managing musical productions and remunerating musical labour, providing a possibility for indigena (island-born native) musicians to accumulate cultural capital and afford them social mobility in the colonial system. Membership in these associations became symbols of prestige, which helped establish social networks among Filipino musicians.

Consumed by prestige: the mouth, consumerism and the dental profession.

Commercialisation and consumerism have had lasting and profound effects upon the nature of oral health and how dental services are provided. The stigma of a spoiled dental appearance, along with the attraction of the smile as a symbol of status and prestige, places the mouth and teeth as an object and product to be bought and sold. How the dental profession interacts with this acquired status of the mouth has direct implications for the professional status of dentistry and the relationship between the profession and society. This essay examines the mouth's developing position as a symbol of status and prestige and how the dental profession's interaction and response to this may have important effects on the nature of dentistry's social contract with society. As rates of dental disease reduce in higher socioeconomic groups, dentistry is experiencing a reorientation from being positioned within a therapeutic context, to be increasingly viewed as body work. This is not in of itself problematic; as a discipline dentistry places a very high value upon the provision of enhanced or improved aesthetics. This position changes when the symbolic exchange value of an aesthetic smile becomes the main motivation for treatment, encouraging a shift towards a commercialised model of practice that attenuates professional altruism. The dental profession should not welcome the association of the mouth as a status and prestige symbol lightly; this article examines how this paradigm shift might impact upon the social contract and dentistry's professional status.

Shifting Paradigms of Research in English Studies in India

English Studies in India has undergone significant changes, leading to a shift in
 research paradigms. Right through the British colonial period of nearly two hundred
 years English literature and language were used as important instruments of political
 domination and acculturation. Even after the British colonialism ended the dominance
 of English continued in all spheres of life. English has become the language of the
 privileged class and studying English literature a symbol of prestige. However, in its
 quest for relevance, English Studies had to incorporate new areas of knowledge under
 its purview. Literary theory made a big splash in English Studies and changed the way
 of approaching and assessing literature. English Studies also saw rigorous debates
 about the relationship between English Literature and ELT and different approaches
 in their pedagogy. Then, postcolonial literature and theory made its impact felt in
 the field. Two other domains that have enriched the field of English Studies are
 Comparative literature and Translation Studies. English writings emanating from India
 grew in plenitude and self-assurance and the language itself underwent substantial
 change to acquire its distinct Indian characteristics. Literatures produced in 24 Indian
 languages are being copiously translated into English and researches in English
 studies are happening at this contact zone of creative literature in English and literature
 available in English translation.

Colouring the Mediterranean

Purple textiles were highly valued in the ancient Mediterranean as a symbol of prestige, social status and power. Despite the numerous publications focused on the production and spread of purple dye technologies, the discussion regarding this particular dye has often been compartmentalised regionally (eastern or western Mediterranean) and chronologically (second or first millennium bc). The aim of this paper is threefold: (1) to propose a full chaîne opératoire for the production of shellfish-purple-dyed textiles; (2) to synthesise the archaeological evidence on production and consumption of such textiles in the entire Mediterranean before the Romans; and (3) to discuss the social implications of the production and consumption of these textiles, to gain a better understanding of their economic and social significance.

An Analysis of Prepositional Errors Committed by Undergraduate ESL Learners of Pakistan

Second Language Acquisition (SLA) phenomena are very important for social, practical and academic reasons. About 6000 languages are spoken in the world and almost all of them have been learned by second languages by some portion of their speaker. There are four most commonly-used languages and English is one of them that is acquired as L1 by 427 million people and as L2 by 950 million speakers. In Pakistan, English has become most important language for communication and also a symbol of prestige in the society. It has turned into a great asset for Pakistani students; they learn it as their second language from basic to advance level. Moreover, English enjoys the status of official language in Pakistan. However, Pakistani learners face many difficulties and problems in using English in their writings and during speaking. Committing errors in the use of prepositions is one of such difficulties. This research examines the misuse of English prepositions by Pakistani undergraduate ESL learners. The purpose of the study is to find out whether male learners commit more prepositional errors or female. Other than this, following study also focuses on the types of prepositional errors found in tests of MCQs and word deletion. For this purpose, thirty (30) students of Government college university of Faisalabad (fifteen participants from each gender) were selected randomly for quantitative research. The data was collected through two tests; first test was based on gap filling exercise and second was based on MCQs. These tests were then analyzed through tables and graphics by using Microsoft excel software. Researcher used Hot Potatoes as a tool for making test and used statistical methods to find the frequencies and percentage of errors. The study found out various types of prepositional errors in both type of tests. Resultantly, the ratio of errors committed by female ESL learners was higher than male ESL learners. Keywords : Prepositions, gender analysis, error analysis, influence of L1 on L2 DOI : 10.7176/JLLL/53-02

El esclavo negro de la ciudad de Lugo

Las actas del consistorio lucense nos permiten conocer la existencia de un esclavo negro que fue comprado por la ciudad en los primeros años del siglo XVIII. Se buscaba con ello, sin duda, estar a la altura de otras más reconocidas, a las que se trataba de emular a través de nuevos símbolos de prestigio, como daba la posesión de un esclavo. No es algo muy habitual en el mundo gallego y menos todavía en la provincia lucense. El hecho de encontrarse bien documentada su corta existencia en la ciudad lo hace acreedor de un especial interés.
