Śrī Chakra Sādhanā
No full textŚrī Vidyā is an ancient concept that has both individual and universal aspect. In fact, it is both a process and a name of Lalitā, one of the Ten Mahāvidyās. The understanding of Śrī chakra is a part of Śrī Vidyā. The model of the created universe inherent in the Śrī chakra provides also a way for sādhanā. The paper attempts to present a do-able sādhanā which, even though does not touch on pujas, gives a powerful possibility to walk on the Inner path towards the discovery of samhāra – absorption into the Source of everything

Starlight Chakra Tool Kit: A Health Education Model for Spiritual Awakening
No full textNeither conventional nor integral health education models sufficiently emphasize the underlying fabric of health and the remembrance of the actual essence of human beings and the universe. The Starlight Chakra Tool Kit recognizes this Divine essence and includes four energetic tools for health educators that facilitate the awakening of Kundalini Shakti or the Divine Within and lead to luminous health. Each tool is a nutrient designed to nurture the presence of Kundalini Shakti through the subtle energetic pathways of the Chakra System. By transforming negative energetic patterns through the use of spiritual intention and consciousness, the Chakra System is balanced, and blockages are dissolved. The tools include Healing Presence, Reiki, Healing with Whole Foods, and Healing with Sound. Principles of the perennial philosophy that consists of the Ayurvedic system of healing, as well as scientific research in the fields of psychoneuroimmunology, quantum physics, consciousness studies, nutritional science, the power of intention, and sound healing are presented to validate the essential role of the Chakra System in personal and planetary health and evolution

Studi Potensi dan Kualitas Air Hujan Untuk Memenuhi Kebutuhan Akuades Laboratorium di Kota Jayapura
No full textStudi Potensi Air Hujan Untuk Memenuhi Kebutuhan Akuades Laboratorium di Kota Jayapura. Himawan, Indrawati M. Chakra, Pemenuhan kebutuhan akuades untuk keperluan laboratorium masih menjadi kendala di sebagian daerah di Papua. Telah dilakukan studi mengenai potensi ketersediaan dan uji kualitas air hujan dibandingkan dengan akuades pasaran di Jayapura. Hasil kajian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi mengatasi kesulitan pelaksanaan praktikum di daerah terpencil.
Air hujan dikumpulkan selama tiga bulan menggunakan atap plastik. Potensi ketersediaan ditelaah dari data curah hujan bulanan dan tahunan di Stasiun Dok II, sedangkan parameter kualitas air yang diuji meliputi pH, DHL, TDS dan uji kualitatif kation anion dan warna indicator asam basa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Air hujan di Jayapura memiliki potensi yang baik ditinjau dari sisi jumlah curah hujan tahunan maupun pemerataannya setiap bulan sebagai penyedia air laboratorium. Uji kualitatif menunjukkan air hujan memiliki sifat seperti akuades tetapi menunjukkan adanya zat mudah teroksidasi. Pengukuran pH, TDS, dan DHL menunjukkan bahwa air hujan di Jayapura memiliki kualitas setara akuades grade 3.Studi Potensi Air Hujan Untuk Memenuhi Kebutuhan Akuades Laboratorium di Kota Jayapura.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
