AbstractThis paper is an analysis study on Dangdanggula Degung Song viewed with Antagonistic Dualism theory by Jakob Sumardjo. The song, textually, has a strong and dynamic character. To verify public views (especially the community of Tembang Sunda Cianjuran) that Dangdanggula Degung Song has a strong and dynamic character, the song has been tried to be analyzed from the point of ornament position and the contour of the melody. The result of this musical analysis study is then interpreted referring to the theory of Antagonistic Dualism by Jakob Sumardjo. Based on this interpretation, a paradoxical phenomenon was found as an illustration of Tritangtu pattern of Sundanese people. This is the subject matter to be discussed in this paper.Keywords: ornament, Dangdanggula Degung song, Tembang Sunda Cianjuran AbstrakTulisan ini merupakan kajian analisis terhadap lagu Dangdanggula Degung ditinjau berdasarkan teori Dualisme Antagonistik Jakob Sumardjo. Secara tekstual, lagu tersebut memiliki karakter gagah dan dinamis. Untuk membuktikan pendapat umum (khususnya komunitas Tembang Sunda Cianjuran) bahwa lagu Dangdanggula Degung memiliki karakter gagah  dan dinamis, maka lagu tersebut dicoba dianalisis dari sisi penempatan ornamen dan kontur melodinya. Hasil kajian analisis musikal ini kemudian diinterpretasikan dengan merujuk pada teori Dualisme Antagonistik Jakob Sumardjo. Berdasarkan interpretasi tersebut ditemukan sebuah fenomena yang bersifat paradoks sebagai gambaran pola Tritangtu masyarakat Sunda. Inilah pokok bahasan  yang akan diuraikan dalam tulisan ini.Kata Kunci: ornamen, lagu Dangdanggula Degung, Tembang Sunda Cianjuran

The article under consideration is aimed at cross-cultural quantified associative mapping of the universal concept “happiness” and shaping the hierarchy of its cornerstone axiological constituents as perceived by Russian, French and English linguosocieties within the framework of the global pandemic reality. “Happiness” has been subject to transdisciplinary investigation since ancient times due to its dynamic character and ambiguity. The concept of “happiness”, although psychologically ingrained and biologically predetermined, can change significantly based on different outer and inner factors. It demonstrates an undeniable potential for multiple perceptions, various patterns of ethnic-specific and highly personalized verbalization, requiring unification and analysis of different sociocultural stimuli that trigger off this or that row of associations. The authors provide keen insight into the semantics of the concept and its static lexicographic axiological paradigm in the Russian, French and English languages. Three associative surveys were carried out through Google-forms to estimate the degree at which the “static projection” of “happiness” is relevant nowadays in pandemic-shaken societies as well as collect free associations, manually contrast the data and establish parallels and peculiarities within up-to-date Russian, French and English (American) visions of “happiness”. The survey results testify to the fact that “health”, “family”, “peace” and “freedom” are universally recognized constituents of “happiness” while certain elements prove to be ethnic-specific and arise due to concrete social circumstances.

Rotary Piston Engine is a new kind of rotary engine. To analyze the dynamic character of the valve system, kinematics equations are established using dynamical method. Dynamic response of the valve is studied by calculating the outcome using numerical method.FFT analysis is applied here to analyze the response curve. The result shows that the Valve Train covers the basic need, but the dynamic performance of the system still could be improved.

Market power is a complex matter that is approximated with quantitative indicators within economics. However, these indicators may not fully capture market power, or they may fail to identify it, although it may be present. Moreover, a quantitative approach restricts market power as a concept, impeding the ability to discuss its relationship with other concepts, such as sustainability. This paper extends the definition of market power, following Foucault’s understanding of power and the associated theoretical discussions of power from different disciplines. We extended Foucault’s work by including systems thinking to capture the importance of the prevalent system’s paradigm, which is the ultimate initiator of action. Apart from distinguishing different elements of power, we also integrate an instrumental view on the elements of power. The developed frame allows us to understand the dynamic character of power as a force that strives to maintain or ameliorate the position of the paradigm that it serves. Based on this frame, we outline how this extended understanding of power can be used to analyze market power itself, and its relation with sustainability.

Entrepreneurial legacies play an important role in transgenerational entrepreneurship, yet little is known about their nature and development. Through a multilayered analysis of narratives drawn from three generations of a single business family, we document that entrepreneurial legacies feature both stable and fluid elements, and that forward-looking components in family storytelling—which we refer to as “anticipated futures”—affect this dynamic character. We further show how such narratives can prompt, sustain, and disrupt entrepreneurship across multiple generations. Our findings offer insights that refine our understanding of entrepreneurial legacies beyond mere projections of the past through secondhand imprinting.

To justify texts, Arabic calligraphers use to stretch some letters with small flowing curves; the kashida instead of inserting blanks among words. Of course, such stretchings are context dependent. An adequate tool to support such writing may be based on a continuous mathematical model. The model has to take into account the motion of the qalam. The characters may be represented as outlines. Among the curves composing the characters outlines, some intersections are to be determined dynamically. In the Naskh style, the qalam‘s head behaves as a rigid rectangle in motion with a constant inclination. To determine the curves delimiting the set of points to shade when writing, we have to find out a mathematical way to compare plane curves. Moreover, as the PostScript procedure to produce a dynamic character, should be repeated whenever the letter is to draw, the development of a font supporting a continuous stretching model, allowing stretchable letters with no overlapping outlines, without optimization would be of a high cost in CPU time. In this chapter, some stretching models are given and discussed. A method to compare curves is presented. It allows the determination of the character encoding with eventually overlapping outlines. Then a way to approximate the curves intersection coefficients is given. This is enough to remove overlapping outlines. Some evaluations in time processing to confirm the adopted optimization techniques are also exposed.
