The New IAU/IAG Joint Working Group on Theory of Earth Rotation

AbstractAlmost thirty years ago the criteria that are currently used to verify claims for the discovery of a new element were set down by the comprehensive work of a Transfermium Working Group, TWG, jointly established by IUPAC and IUPAP. The recent completion of the naming of the 118 elements in the first seven periods of the Periodic Table of the Elements was considered as an opportunity for a review of these criteria in the light of the experimental and theoretical advances in the field. In late 2016 the Unions decided to establish a new Joint Working Group, JWG, consisting of six members determined by the Unions. A first meeting of the JWG was in May 2017. One year later this report was finished. In a first part the works and conclusions of the TWG and the Joint Working Parties, JWP, deciding on the discovery of the now named elements are summarized. Possible experimental developments for production and identification of new elements beyond the presently known ones are estimated. Criteria and guidelines for establishing priority of discovery of these potential new elements are presented. Special emphasis is given to a description for the application of the criteria and the limits for their applicability.

French Education

The progress of globalization has made every country to cooperate internationally to fulfill its national interests. Indonesia sees opportunities from France as a country that has the more advanced technology from Indonesia. In education, France is a country that has the best system. France saw a joint research opportunity to do both so that both of them agreed to make cooperation conducted by the Ministry of Research and Higher Education (Kemristek Higher Education) at the French Embassy in the meeting of the Joint Working Group in the field of Research and Higher Education. Until the eighth meeting from 2009 to 2016, continue to discuss what programs will get done. But in reality, in 2012 until 2016, participants from the scholarships given by Kemristek Dikti decreased. From the decline, it gets seen that the delay factor of fund given to the scholarship recipients makes the students feel hampered in doing their activities, besides the lack of socialization of this scholarship which makes the students who want to seek for learning to France do not know about this scholarship program
