Homo sapiens, All Too Homo sapiens: Wise Man, All Too Human
No full textOutside of Carlsbad, New Mexico, a mere three hundred miles from the University of New Mexico where I teach, is the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). This deep, geologic storehouse will entomb nuclear weapons waste for the next 10,000 years. The transuranic elements—elements with an atomic number of 92, uranium, or higher—are unstable and radioactive, and they decay at a half-life rate that makes them dangerous environmental contaminants. During the planning phase of the WIPP’s construction, the Department of Energy hired archaeologists, historians, linguists, materials scientists, and science fiction writers to address questions such as the one paraphrased here: How should we communicate radioactive danger to Earthdwellers after five hundred generations of linguistic variation? (Piller). How can we communicate that this repository is not a monument filled with treasure to the Cyborg Indiana Jones who may come a thousand years hence
PENGARUH ATRIBUT JASA PENDIDIKAN TERHADAP LOYALITAS MAHASISWA DI UNIVERSITAS WIDYATAMA (Studi Kasus Pada Mahasiswa FBM Manajemen S1 dan D3)
No full textAmaris Ganefi Putra, Influence Attributes Of Education Services at the University Student Loyalty Widyatama (Case Study On Student Management FBM S1 and D3). Under the guidance of Sri Wiludjeng SP, S.E., M.P.
Higher education is one of the institutions that are formally assigned the duty and responsibility of preparing students in accordance with the national education goals, which fills community need and the availability of skilled experts with the level and type of skills are very diverse. Management model institution of higher learning can be equated with the services business model. Satisfaction of stakeholders (students, faculty, staff, management) is also a measure of success. Attributes in higher education services are offered in the form of courses that management is done under the department. Number of courses are many and diverse, but based on the science, among other fields of Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences (MIPA), Sastra and Language, Religious Education and the Arts. The efforts of these educational service providers aimed at achieving customer loyalty. Consumer loyalty plays an important role in a company, they retain significant improve financial performance and maintain the viability of the company, this is the main reason for a company to attract and retain them. All costs incurred by the student in the form of money to pay all the costs of education, the time spent can be calculated as the opportunity cost, and attending their labor, should be offset by services provided PTS it solely to achieve the loyalty of students to be future come.
S1 and D3 Management Students Widyatama University can be said to have a high loyalty, which is visible from respondents who are willing to re-register, it will not perform academic leave except under certain conditions, refused to move to another private university and willing to recommend the University of Widyatama to others .
Attribute education services jointly affect loyalty management students at the University of Widyatama, but based on calculations that have been made, of the three variables, it turns out there are only two variables that have a significant impact on building loyalty management students, the variable service and image, it this is because the facilities at the University Widyatama not optimal, for example, there is still a long queue in the registration of students, there is no air conditioning in every room.
By examining the research that has been done, the author tries to put forward some suggestions to be used as input for Widyatama University, the university's image Widyatama had a good response from the respondents but have the lowest value, Widyatama University as an institution that provides educational services, should always keep good name, maintain accreditation, increasing its contribution, in order to be a top priority of students and prospective students in choosing educational institutions, development of physical infrastructure such as laboratory facilities e-library access, as well as the comfort of the classroom should be noted again, such as air conditioning in every room, a clinic located in a place easily accessible, student attendance using barcode, by increasing the things described above are expected to provide a better value or exceed the expectations of students, thus leading to the achievement of students into higher loyalty

The simple application of layers during aesthetic restorations of the anterior teeth
No full textРезюме.
На стоматологическом рынке уже есть эстетические композитные
системы с ограниченной цветовой палитрой, сравнительно новой среди которых является Amaris. Эту композитную систему, состоящую
всего из одного цвета, критически тестировал на повседневную пригодность профессор, доктор КлаусПетер Эрнст. С помощью пяти различных степеней сходства и трех различных эмалевых масс материала
удалось справиться с различными показаниями также на участке передних зубов, при условии, что стоматологу известны определенные
приемы и профессиональные «трюки» использования композитов,
которые автор подробно описывает в следующих клинических случаях. Статья включает также данные о продукте.Summary.
The simple application of layers during aesthetic
restorations of the anterior teeth
Is this in spite of or as a result of the simplified color palette? Aesthetic
composite systems with a limited color palette there are already present on the
dental market. Among them there is the relatively new amaris. This composite system consisted of just one color was critically tested for its daily usefulness by professor, doctor Claus peter Ernst. By means of 5 different degrees of
similarity and three different enamel masses of the material one can manage
to handle different indications also in the area of anterior teeth, under the
condition that the dentist knows specific techniques and professional „tricks“
during the use of the composites that the author describes in the following
clinical cases. The article also includes the information about the product
Founding a Historically Latino/Caribbean-serving Institution: An Archival Research Study on Florida International University
No full textEmploying an archival research approach, this study explores the formation of Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, Florida. As one of the few institutions to open its doors with a specific mission to promote greater international understanding, this study explores diasporic migration and community formation in efforts to challenge the U.S. federally designated phrase of Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs) and acknowledge those HSIs who have historically served Latino and Caribbean populations. The author defined FIU as a Historically Latino/Caribbean-serving institution based on the transnational Latino and Caribbean cultural community formation in southeast Florida between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s. Specifically, this dissertation illustrated evidence in the FIU university archives pertaining to the influence of a Latino and Caribbean demographic increase during the1960s-1970s on the southeast region of Florida, Hispanic student headcount, and the founding of an international institution with geographic proximity to the Caribbean. This dissertation also expressed the importance of conducting historical research in higher education including archival research in efforts to provide a more holistic narrative regarding American higher education. Framing migration as an essential process to the economic and social development of a region (Castles, 2002), the intent was to understand how transnational Latino and Caribbean cultural community formation in southeast Florida shaped and influenced the initial years of the institution

Re-reading Local Spaces: City as Text \u3csup\u3eTM\u3c/sup\u3e Goes Virtual
No full textThis chapter provides honors program faculty and directors with detailed strategies for running a City as TextTM (CAT) experience in a hybrid or virtual format. It documents specific ways the traditional CAT institute principles were adapted to a virtual space, including changes made to the institute format, destinations, collaborations, and assignments. A new emphasis on multimedia platforms, central to the virtual institute, are discussed. Finally, a summary of what the facilitators learned in the process of shifting a fundamentally in-person experience to online is shared
Reading the Local in the New Now: Mapping Hidden Opportunities for Civic Engagement in the First Virtual City as Text™ Faculty Institute
No full textIn spring 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic in full force, the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) Place as Text (PAT) Committee reimagined its longstanding City as Text™ (CAT) Faculty Institute model as an experimental virtual training titled “Reading the Local in the New Now” (RLNN). With the cancellation of two scheduled CAT Faculty Institutes because of the pandemic, the committee quickly shifted gears to develop and offer a fully online version of the program. Shorter in length, with participants joining from their homes across the country, the Institute was designed with key CAT principles as its foundation (Braid and Long; Long; Machonis). In this chapter, the RLNN facilitators outline how we conceived of and created the Institute, and we describe the participants’ processes of engaging with it. In retrospect, we realized how closely both groups—facilitators and participants—practiced mapping, observing, listening, and reflecting as an integral part of our co-engagement, illustrating how well these time-tested CAT strategies stand up to the challenges of our contemporary moment. At the same time, the historical context of this Institute meant that Reading the Local in the New Now Institute could not be identical to the Faculty Institute structures offered for over thirty years through NCHC. Necessitated by government-imposed restrictions, CDC and state health guidelines, higher education and K–12 policies, and personal and familial precautions, we were essentially called home to protect our communities. As a result, facilitators needed to adapt the well-established methods of place-based exploration to new strategies for exploring places as text. The changes strikingly revealed new possibilities for civic engagement
