Design of microcavity resonators for single-atom detection
Get PDFWhispering gallery modes of a microdisk resonator are useful for the optical detection of single rubidium and cesium atoms near the surface of a substrate. Light is coupled into two high-Q whispering-gallery modes of the disk which can provide attractive and/or repulsive potentials, respectively, via their evanescent fields. The sum potential, including van der Waals/Casimir-Polder surface forces, may be tuned to exhibit a minimum at distances on the order of 100nm from the disk surface. Simultaneously optically trapping and detecting is possible, with the back-action of an atom held in this trap on the light fields being sufficiently strong to provide a measurable effect. Atom trapping and detection depend on a variety of system parameters and experimental realizations differ for different atoms

From Adam Smith's Concept of Sympathy to Natsume Sōseki's Social Proposal
No full textEl inicio del período Meiji (1868) marcó el comienzo oficial del proceso de modernización de Japón. Al mismo tiempo, surgió un sentimiento de incertidumbre y desasosiego identitario en la población japonesa. Diversas fueron las causas que originaron esta sensación de desarraigo: la posibilidad de absorción por otro país, el rechazo a los valores tradicionales, los cambios estéticos y, no menos importante, la pérdida de un ethos colectivista. Natsume Sōseki se sitúa precisamente en este momento histórico y, sin duda alguna, describe a través de sus conferencias y novelas no solo los cambios resultantes del proceso de modernización, sino también las problemáticas de su época. Uno de los temas recurrentes en Sōseki trata sobre la dimensión moral de Japón y la posible degradación de la sociedad japonesa hacia el individualismo. Sin embargo, Sōseki no rechaza totalmente el concepto de individualismo. ¿Qué le permite a este autor aceptar un concepto tan ajeno al Japón premoderno? Considerando esta pregunta, el concepto de simpatía desarrollado por Adam Smith en obras como La teoría de los sentimientos morales (1759) y La riqueza de las naciones (1766) emerge en Natsume Sōseki como un elemento que facilita el establecimiento de una sociedad, aunque esta sea de corte individualista. Esta idea constituye la principal hipótesis de esta tesis. Además, veremos que el concepto de simpatía es un elemento transversal en la teoría literaria, conferencias y novelas de Sōseki, como una propuesta social que se opone a una "revolución desde arriba" promulgada por el gobierno Meiji. (Texto tomado de la fuente)The onset of the Meiji period (1868) marked the official beginning of Japan's modernization process. Simultaneously, a sense of uncertainty and identity crisis emerged among the Japanese population. Various factors contributed to this feeling of displacement: the possibility of absorption by another country, rejection of traditional values, aesthetic changes, and, notably, the loss of a collectivist ethos. Natsume Sōseki precisely situates himself in this historical moment, elucidating not only the changes resulting from modernization but also the challenges of his time through his lectures and novels. A recurring theme in Sōseki's works concerns Japan's moral dimension and the potential degradation of Japanese society toward individualism. However, Sōseki does not entirely reject the concept of individualism. ¿What enables this author to embrace a concept so foreign to premodern Japan? Considering this question, Adam Smith's concept of sympathy, as delineated in works such as The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) and The Wealth of Nations (1766), emerges in Natsume Sōseki's writings as a facilitating element for the establishment of a society, even one with individualistic tendencies. This idea constitutes the primary hypothesis of this thesis. Furthermore, we will explore how the concept of sympathy permeates Sōseki's literary theory, lectures, and novels, offering a social proposition counter to the "top-down revolution" promulgated by the Meiji government.MaestríaMagíster en Estudios LiterariosLiteratura japonesa del siglo X

may be illogical and full of weirdness but people still believe them
Gereja Pilgrimasi: Menggagas Bentuk Keanggotaan Persekutuan Misional Diaspora dalam Pelayanan Gereja Toraja
No full textAbstract. The church’s mission in a fluid world requires new spaces of service. If the church is not responsive and critical of its reality, it is difficult for the church to be present to answer the needs of the people. One interesting reality is the existence of the diaspora. The extent to which the church's mission reaches the diaspora as a missional space is a challenge. This paper aimed to propose a form of diaspora missional fellowship membership in the ministry of the Toraja Church. The method used was a qualitative method with observation survey technique through two congregations in Tana Toraja and North Toraja and interviews with purposive sampling technique to some specifically determined people. Through this research, it was concluded that pilgrimage churches confront the church with a way of doing church based on the spirit of pilgrimage, which crosses the boundaries of geography, territory and church walls.

Menuju Teologi Sungai: Kajian Ekoteologi terhadap Pencemaran Sungai Sa’dan di Toraja
Get PDFHumans and all creatures need rivers as a source of life and prosperity. However, many rivers have been polluted, such as the Sa'dan river. This paper aims to rediscover Christians' vocation in viewing and preserving rivers that focus on God. By using the theory of Theocentrism and To Sangserekan mythology in treating the river as a sangserekan that needs to be guarded and maintained. The author uses a descriptive qualitative method to achieve this goal with the help of field studies and literature. Field studies through open interviews with respondents have been determined according to the needs of the instrument and literature study using the perspective of Theocentrism and To Sangserekan mythology which emphasizes that humans and rivers are both created. The results of the study said that the causes of the pollution of the Sa'dan river were: (1) there was a mistake in understanding the river, which had no connection with the issue of Christian faith; (2) an environmentally unfriendly lifestyle has become a habit that continues to be forced; (3) the lack of sermons on environmental issues, especially rivers. For this reason, a theological response is needed to answer the problem of pollution of the Sa'dan river, namely towards river theology.AbstrakManusia dan seluruh mahluk memerlukan sungai sebagai sumber kehidupan dan kesejahteraan.
