A letter written by Francis Lions to Linus Pauling in 1939 sheds light on the early development of Lions' work in the field of coordination chemistry. Together with the subject matter of some of his relatively early publications, it reveals how he was developing the synthetic strategies that later were applied to the successful design and function of sexadentate chelating agents.

Abstract This paper re-examines the narratorial voice in Callimachus' ‘mimetic’ Hymn to Athena and argues that we should see it as complex and experimental (cf. the voices of his hymns to Zeus and Apollo). The portrayal of a narrator whose sex is ambiguous (with some elements pointing to a female celebrant as the narrator, others to a male scholar-poet) is in fact closely connected to the subject-matter of the myth which the narrator tells — the blinding of Teiresias for seeing Athena bathing naked, characters who are themselves sexually ambiguous. The nature and function of this myth, and its portrayal of Athena, raise important questions about the representation of the gods, for example in poetry, and about Hellenistic attitudes to the divine.

This study aims to determine the differences in the average results of learning science the subject matter of the structure and function of plants between students whose learning uses a group investigation learning model with a model of picture and picture. This research includes field research, with the method used is comparative causal. The population of this study were all fourth grade students of SDN 45/1 Sridadi in the first semester of the 2014/2015 academic year, consisting of IV-A classes with 25 students, IV-B classes with 24 students. So the total population was 47 participants student. Because the population is less than 100, the entire population is sampled, with class IV-A consisting of 25 students as experimental class B and class IV-B consisting of 24 students as experimental class A. Data is collected by documentation method and test. The collected data were analyzed using statistical analysis of test differences in the average experimental class 1 (group investigation) and experimental class 2 (picture and picture) with the analysis of the two-party t-test test. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that: the average science learning outcomes in the subject matter of plant structure and function of IV-A class students with the group investigation model is 84.44, while the average mathematics learning outcomes of students studying with a model of picture and picture is 77.29.

Abstract This article studies the promulgation of law in Qin and Western Han China (221 b.c.e.–9 c.e.) based primarily on excavated legal and administrative texts. It shows that a new law was handed down from the emperor to the relevant offices on the day of enactment. The article argues that, to an extent, the subject matter and function of a law determined for whom it was passed and promulgated. Depending upon the location, rank, and official duties of the offices, the laws known and used could be quite different. Although it was required that documents of imperial decisions be forwarded swiftly and safely by courier at the prescribed speed, delays in forwarding such documents to distant local offices were probably common in Qin and Western Han China. Evidence indicates that district- and prefecture-level officials publicized laws that needed to be made known by the common people, by reading them aloud in local gatherings, for example, or posting them in conspicuous places. The article further argues that a law came into effect in offices on the day it arrived at local courts or on the day it was enacted in the central court, depending on the existence of related extant laws. It concludes that a new law in Qin and Western Han China was ex post facto, as it reached backwards to a past action and retroactively attached liabilities to the action at the point when it was performed.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

An outline has been presented in historical fashion of the steps devised to organize the central core of medical information allowing the subject matter, the patient, to define the nature and the progression of the diseases from which he suffers, with and without therapy; and approaches have been made to organize this information in such fashion as to align the definitions in orderly fashion to teach both diagnostic strategy and the content of the diseases by programmed instruction.

This article is aimed to examine the extent of the application of Islamic legal objectives by Sheikh Abdullah bn Fudi in his rejoinder against one of their contemporary scholars who accused them of being over-liberal about the religion. He claimed that there has been a careless intermingling of men and women in the preaching and counselling gathering they used to hold, under the leadership of Sheikh Uthman bn Fudi (the Islamic reformer of the nineteenth century in Nigeria and West Africa). Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.

Performance is the performance shown by educators, both in quality and quantity in carrying out their duties in accordance with the responsibilities given to them professionally. Educator performance development is a very decisive factor in the success of the education and learning process. In fact, in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City, there is still a low level of competency standards possessed by educators. The intended competency standard is from the standard academic qualifications and four competencies that must be possessed by a kindergarten educator, namely pedagogic, professional, social and personality competencies. This is evidenced by educators not yet mastering learning material with the maximum known when the learning process educators are not able to explain well the subject matter, and educators have not shown maximum performance in carrying out their duties and functions. The purpose of this study was to see whether there was an influence on teacher professionalism on teacher performance in Dumai IV Rayon Kindergarten. The results of the study prove that there is a significant relationship between the professionalism of Kindergarten educators and the performance of educators in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City. This is evidenced by the value of Sig (2-tailed) professionalism on educator's performance of 0,000, so the calculation shows 0,000 <0.05. This means that Ha is accepted, that is, there is a significant relationship between the professionalism of Kindergarten educators and the Performance of Educators in Kindergarten Rayon IV, Dumai City.
