Evaluating Subtle Field Imprints in Water by Droplet Evaporation Method

Background: Even though water is regarded as something long understood and explained by conventional science – many open-minded researchers know that it still hides many mysteries (water clusters, coherent domains, so-called memory, etc.). Many of these mysteries come to fore in ultra-high dilution (UHD) experiments and practices, where usually not even one molecule of the originating substances is left. Mostly, they can be tackled only by using the droplet evaporation method (DEM).1 Aim: One of the hypotheses of water memory suggests that through UHD (dilutions, shaking) the field of a substance is stably impressed into water. If this is true than we should be able to imprint also a field itself - not originating from a certain substance, but from other sources. Such imprint should be revealed by an appropriate research method. Method: The DEM consists of monitoring dried water drops by dark field microscopy. It was discovered in the previous century by Ruth Kübler, a German artist, and further developed by Bernd-Helmut Kröplin, Minnie Hein, Berthold Heusel M. A. and Georg Schröcker. It has also been used to research the still controversial special characteristics of ultra-high diluted aqueous solutions.2 It has been proved capable of demonstrating differences in subtle influences of an UHD (around 10-47 M, practically “pure” water) of As2O3 on common wheat seeds. This method is therefore, capable of transferring certain, not yet fully understood or generally accepted subtle physical characteristicsof the solution to the remnant patterns after drop evaporation.3, 4 We used DEM to evaluate experiments on impressing the subtle field of five bioenergy healers and two so called “informed” objects (a glass and an “energy” card) into mineral or spring water with well-known characteristics. In all these experiments we also used control water that was of the same origin, but placed in a separate room. The DEM images were analyzed by special computer programs and statistically evaluated. No mother tincture of any kind was used. Results: The results demonstrate that even such subtle fields can leave stable and reproducible imprints in water - made visually accessible by the remnant patterns after drop evaporation. The irradiated water samples were statistically different from the control. This difference can usually be observed even by a naked eye. Conclusion These results have several implications. They confirm as follows: a) water memory – the main background of UHD effects, b) the possibility to imprint the fields into water, c) the existence of subtle fields not yet generally recognized by physical community and d) the capability of DEM to express the imprints.

Living Conditions and Social Distancing Barriers in India

The tenth part of the Social Change Indicators series gives an account on the living conditions that work as barriers against social distancing in different states of India: This segment especially focusses on aspects, such as the percentage of households (rural and urban) that own a house, the percentage share of nuclear households (rural and urban), the mean number of persons sleeping per room in households, the percentage of households (rural and urban) in which cooking is done in a separate room, the percentage of households (rural and urban) in which water is not treated prior to drinking, the percentage of households (rural and urban) with an improved non-sharable sanitation facility and the proportion of households living in slums.

Eligibility for home care of asymptomatic COVID-19 patients: challenges from a low resource setting in Central Kerala, South India

Background: As a large spectrum of COVID 19 disease is asymptomatic, there came a need for home based management of asymptomatic cases, which can ensure efficient utilisation of resources for care of severe cases. On 7th August 2020, Kerala government came up with advisory for home care of asymptomatic cases. The study was done to assess eligibility for home care among patients then admitted in COVID First Line Treatment Centres in Palakkad and to identify the challenges to aid in further planning and decision making about home care.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 133 laboratory confirmed COVID 19 cases admitted to CFLTCs during 08 August 2020 to 12 August 2020. Semi-structured questionnaire was administered over telephone, after getting oral informed consent from patients. Analysis was done using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 20.Results: 28.31% of asymptomatic cases were eligible for home care. The challenges were lack of separate room with attached bathroom and ventilation (29%), absence of facility to separate vulnerable persons at home (18.5%), lack of healthy caretaker (15.9%) and being unaware about co-morbidity status (27%). Significant associations were found between socioeconomic status and availability of separate room with attached bathroom as well as separate facility to accommodate vulnerable persons.Conclusions: Major factors limiting eligibility for home care were lack of facility to self isolate and to separate vulnerable persons away from home. Both factors were common among patients from BPL families. 27.4% of asymptomatic patients were unaware of co-morbidity status. This reinforces importance of screening for non communicable diseases in the community.

GEODETIC EXPERT EVIDENCE OF A BUILDING AFTER UNAUTHORISED RENOVATION IN THE CIRCUIT OF A SEPARATE ROOM

In practice, in the courts, the question often arises about the need for a geodetic expert evidence in relation to buildings, unauthorized reconstruction of which was carried out in the contour of separate premises. On the one hand, the legislation indicates the need for such expert evidence, and on the other hand, the right holders of such a premises are perplexed why they should investigate the entire capital facilities if they have changed the parameters of only one premise. The article explains why such expert evidence is necessary. The unauthorized reconstruction in the contour of an individual residential building, as a result of which new rights objects are formed (residential or apartment buildings), also deserves special attention. This exceptional case is described in the article. In addition, the article describes technical aspects of the state cadastral registration of reconstructed buildings in the contour of individual rooms, and proposes a classification of reconstruction for these purposes. The authors propose a distinction between the cadastral registration of the formed and the changed object, the state cadastral registration of which is carried out as a result of reconstruction. Also, the article presents the author's algorithm for conducting geodetic expert evidence in relation to unauthorized reconstruction of a building, the room in which changed the outline of the building itself.

The Tatar-Russian Bilingualism in Early Childhood

The paper presents findings from psycholinguistic research with normally developing preschool Tatar-Russian bilingual children between the age of 4;0 to 6;0 years old. Forty children in total- twenty children between the age of 4;0 -5;0, and twenty children between the age of 5;0-6;0 were tested. Children with language impairment and mental disabilities were excluded from the study. All children attend a polylingual kindergarten, where the children learn in organized way the following three languages: their mother tongue - the state language of the Tatarstan - the Tatar language, Russian - the official language of the Russian Federation to which Tatarstan belongs, and English. The children were tested with two types of language tests: Syntactic test (wh-complement tests) and mix Tatar-Russian vocabulary test (comprehension and production). They were also tested with a psychological non-verbal Knock Tap test. All children were tested individually in a separate room by a native Tatar speaking and Russian speaking researcher. In order to avoid the influence of the language of testing on the results half of the children were tested with part of the tests in Tatar language and the other part in Russian language. The next day they were changing the languages and the tests. The research question we try to answer is: Do the children develop balanced bilingualism in the kindergarten age having in mind the educational system they are involved in or they are dominant in one of the two languages. The results of the children are analyzed with the ANOVA and SPSS Statistics. They show that the older children are better in all test. Regarding the language the younger children show poor results in Tatar and better results in Russian. The older children show equally good results in both languages. The paper discusses the classical theory of Skutnabb-Kangas (1981) and newest findings of Bialystok (2020) regarding the bilingualism and bilingual education from early ages and which factors play important role in successful development of balanced bilingualism from early age.

Towards Non-Ageist Housing and Caring in Old Age

This article investigates aging-in-place among seniors who live with caretakers, particularly domestic workers who immigrate to Israel from poorer countries. In recent decades, new apartment designs are intended for families with children. Drawing on Dolores Hayden’s (1980) ‘Non-Sexist City’, we expound on Non-Ageist architecture for the aging population and migrant caregivers. We examine how this kind of residence can include additional and vulnerable groups in the population, such as seniors and their caregivers. Our study explores the design of Tel Aviv Metropolis apartments. We argue that typical apartment design affects the ethics of everyday living. Following Michel de Certeau (2011), our research observes everyday behaviors and creative tactics through which seniors and caregivers re-appropriate shared living space. Most seniors house caretakers in a room within the bedroom area of the apartment, for instance, while others use a separate room by the entrance. These practices point to hierarchy and equality as spatial aspects of typical apartments’ layout and their effect on their usage by seniors and caregivers. Our research explores the potential of a planning proposal—dividing the seniors’ apartment into a primary apartment and a secondary unit—suggested by the inter-ministerial government team in the National Housing Headquarters and by the Israeli Affordable Housing Center, an academic-social organization. We argue this division could enable better housing solutions for shared residency. Thus, the article combines qualitative research of residence in old age with analysis of the role of social values such as equality, autonomy, inclusion, affordability and communal values in old-age housing and care.

PERPUSTAKAAN KOTA PONTIANAK

Reported by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2019 regarding the literacy culture of each region, West Kalimantan is listed as the third lowest province in literacy culture or reading interest, the Pontianak City Government has provided places for the public to develop reading interest in the Pontianak City Library, however The Pontianak City Library as the parent of literacy media in Pontianak City has problems in terms of architecture such as inaccurate spatial programs, inadequate spatial size, and the formation of a library that is less representative. Several steps are used in the new library design starting from ideas, data, analysis, synthesis of the initial design to design development, the focus of library design is on programming a space where one of the commercial rooms and a separate room, also in library collections requires special treatment so that processing The collection provides space in the manager building by bridges between buildings for manager access. The new library design approach is adapted to current times by utilizing the latest technology related to libraries such as automatic lending and book creation tools, the library formation is also designed more iconically, on the main building facade of the library which adapts from the tanjak formation and applies secondary skin formations in the form of motifs, gill patterns typical of Pontianak City.

I AM THEREFORE ASKING YOU TO STOP WORKING ON THE MUSEUM. STANISŁAW SANKOWSKI’S WAY TO ESTABLISHING A MUSEUM IN RADOMSKO

In 2020, we are celebrating 50 years of the Stanisław Sankowski Museum in Radomsko, officially established on 1 July 1970. However, it was already from 1946 that Stanisław Sankowski, a history teacher, had been collecting documents and exhibits related to the region among the students of the First Secondary School in Radomsko. He appealed for them to be collected in the school newsletter and in 1958 in the ‘Gazeta Radomszczańska’ paper. The appeal was successful, and the collections started to grow. At that point there was no mention of a seat for the Museum, so initially, as approved by the school Headmaster, the Museum was housed in the school building. It seemed that it would find a home there for longer, particularly as the school was given a new building. When it turned out there was no separate room available for the exhibition, the school hall was adapted for the Museum exhibits. This, however, was not to the liking of the school authorities; the Deputy Headmaster, who, interestingly, happened to be a historian himself, forbid the works to be continued. For some time the Museum’s activity was suspended, yet finally S. Sankowski decided to move the collected exhibits to his own flat. Excursions, even from around the country, were invited to visit it. Meanwhile, S. Sankowski continuously tried to be allocated some facility where the Museum could be housed. The efforts were accelerated by the mention of the Radomsko Museum in a private flat in a programme on Radio Free Europe. Soon afterwards, the home for the Museum was found: initially, they were 3 rooms in the building of the town authorities, later the whole ground floor, while in the mid-1970s it was allocated almost the whole building of the former 1859 Town Hall. The Museum had enjoyed first successes even before the formal establishment; these were undoubtedly the finds that brought archaeologists to Radomsko and their subsequent discoveries. What needs to be appreciated, though, i s f i rst a n d fo rem o st t h e ed u cat i o n a l effo r t o f S. Sankowski and his promoting activities. Many years later, in 2008, the Radomsko Regional Museum was named after its instigator and creator.

STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF COVERINGS OF EXTENDED RADIATING PIPES ON THEM HEAT RADIATION, WHEN HEATING LARGE OBJECTS AND HEATING INDUSTRIAL ROOMS

It is shown that for heating rooms and objects large in length and volume, the use of extended emitting pipes is most appropriate. A method for heating extended objects is described, in which the principle of radiation from radiating pipes with a length of more than 30 m is used in a garage-defroster of railway cars. The heating system of the garage-defroster includes a firebox-heat generator, long pipes of 90 m along the wagons, the control and instrumentation system A. The firebox and the control and instrumentation cabinets are installed in a separate room. The defrost system circuit is essentially a large emitter. The entire heat-radiating circuit is a closed system of direct and return pipes through which a low-temperature (300–400 °C) coolant circulates. The industrial operation of such a system at one of the Ukrainian factories has confirmed the advantages in comparison with the known defrosting systems: reliability, easy operation, high efficiency, safety and environmental friendliness, low capital costs, a minimum of instrumentation and automation, minimal thermal inertia. Ways of increasing the uniformity of temperature and heat radiation from pipes are considered: recirculation of the coolant in the working circuit and applying coatings with different emissivity to the pipe surface. So, with a recirculation rate of the coolant in the working circuit of the industrial defrosting system from 3 to 5, the temperature difference between the surface of the emitting pipes at the first and distant cars was 100 or more degrees. Therefore, cars that are closer to the coolant entrance to the system defrosted faster than others. Two new methods for controlling the radiation intensity of long pipes along their length are proposed: coating coatings with different emissivity on the surface of pipes and coating with maximum and minimum emissivity, which alternate between themselves, around the perimeter of the rings. The results of laboratory experiments on the dependence of the heat radiation of pipes on the methods of applying special coatings to them are shown, which showed that coating in a certain order allows you to change the nature of the distribution of temperatures and heat radiation on surrounding surfaces, significantly reducing their decrease along the length of the radiating pipe.

KONSEP BERKELANJUTAN PADA KANTOR MILENIAL TERINTEGRASI TRANSPORT HUB DI DUKUH ATAS

As Urban Interchange of Jakarta, Transport Hub is a key to promote sustainable transportation and mobility and to promote the use of public transportation. Dukuh Atas, as an interchange between major public transportation such as : MRT, LRT, KRL Sudirman, and KRL Bandara has become Transit Oriented Development based on masterplan of Dukuh Atas by Government of Indonesia. Millennial Office integrated with Transport hub is a form of integration between activity-based working space and public transportation. This kind of integration is pioneered by type and behaviour of millennials and it resulting the change of typology. The previous typology of office and transport hub aren’t fitted to be used by millennials. This cause the evolution of transport hub as an interchange between many public transportation and private vehicle and also an activity-based office which is separate room or zone based on activity. The Notion of office and transport hub’s type are re-composed by retrospectively analyze the typology and behaviour involved in it to be integrated with surrounding place and public transportation. Other than facilitating the interchanging between transportation, the architecture of Millennial Office integrated with Transport Hub at Dukuh Atas became a pioneer of a working place with transport oriented development and to promote the use of public transportation in Jakarta. AbstrakSebagai Urban Interchange, Transport Hub merupakan kunci sukses terjadinya perpindahan dan mobilitas secara berkelanjutan dan mempromosikan penggunaan transportasi publik. Dukuh Atas yang merupakan titik pertemuan beberapa transportasi publik besar seperti: MRT, LRT, KRL Sudirman, dan KRL Bandara menjadi salah satu kawasan berorientasi transit yang sedang direncanakan oleh pemerintah DKI Jakarta dan pihak MRT. Kantor Milenial terintegrasi Transport Hub di Dukuh Atas merupakan bentuk integrasi antara transportasi publik dengan tempat kerja dengan tipologi berbasis aktivitas. Hal ini dipelopori oleh tipe dan perilaku dari milenial yang mendorong pergeseran tipologi dari transport hub dan kantor. Tipologi lama dari kantor dan transport hub sudah tidak cocok untuk generasi milenial. Hal ini mendukung usulan desain transport hub sebagai tempat transit memiliki integrasi ke beberapa transportasi publik dan pribadi dan kantor berbasis aktivitas yang tidak dibatasi dalam cubicle atau ruang individual. Konsep tipologi dari transport hub dan kantor di komposisi ulang dengan metode kualitatif dengan melihat tipologi terdahulunya secara retrospektif dan menganalisis perilaku didalamnya, yang menghasilkan tipologi kantor dan transport hub menjadi satu kesatuan bangunan terintegrasi yang juga terhubung dengan daerah dan fasilitas transportasi publik sekitar. Selain sebagai sarana integrasi transportasi publik sekitar, arsitektur Kantor Milenial terintegrasi Transport Hub menjadi pelopor tempat kerja yang berorientasi transit dan mendorong penghuninya untuk lebih menggunakan transportasi publik guna mengurangi polusi dan kemacetan di kota Jakarta.
