In his Studies of nature (1784) and Harmonies of nature (1815) Saint-Pierre presented a panoramic view of nature as the work of omnipotent and benevolent God, whose providential care about His creation is everywhere visible. In this way, he wanted to call people to the life worthy of God, the life to be rewarded after death. The article discusses the nature of the universalist reward envisioned by Saint-Pierre in the light of his discussion of the spiritual nature of the human being. His view of this nature evolved and was not presented in entirely coherent fashion.

Abstract: Warm water is needed by human being to take a bath, wash their clothes, their dishes etc. By the photothermal conversion, the solar energy can be used to heat the water. Flat solar collector is a tool which is used to capture energy of the sun radiation then convert it into heat to heat up water in collector’s pipes. The number of glass cover used effects the performance and efficiency of the collector. From this research, it is found that the efficiency of the collector is better when the cover used are two glasses than one glasses. The temperature difference of incoming and outgoing water in the collector using two glasses 15 ̊C higher than that of one glass.

Humans are created from two elements, namely, physical (physical) and spiritual (psychic). Therefore man is the perfect being from various aspects of it spiritually (psychologically). Since man has been created perfectly, he has three spiritual powers: al-fikr, al-wijdaan, al-madhadah with different shades, levels and levels between individual human beings; which is expressed in the form of attitudes and behaviors as a result of efforts to meet their psychological needs. In conjunction with persuasive devotion, a da'i must understand and be aware of the spiritual potential of human being as well as object of delivery of message of dakwah, which of course must be supported by skill and skill that exist in da'i self. One of the most basic is where da'i have to master the linguistic of various aspects, so that what is conveyed is not contradictory or in line with the spiritual nature of human beings as mad'u.

AbstrakSetiap manusia yang terlahir di dunia memiliki hak untuk berpikir dan mengutarakannya. Namun, kebebasan untuk mengutarakan suatu konsep keilmuan tertentu terkadang mengalami banyak kendala. Hal tersebut dikarenakan setiap kelompok masyarakat memiliki aturan dan kepercayaan yang berbeda. Hal tersebut membuat konsep hasil penemuan suatu ilmuan yang bertentangan dengan apa yang telah mereka yakini menjadi suatu boomerang baginya. Keyakinan Galileo terhadap teori heliosentris Copernicus membuatnya harus menghabiskan sisa hidupnya sebagai tahanan rumah. Kepercayaan terhadap konsep matahari sebagai pusat tata surya, yang tetap teguh terus dipertahankannya berdasarkan hasil pengamatan dan penelitiannya, membuahkan pengakuan oleh gereja setelah kematiannya.Kata kunci: Galileo, heliosentris, pusat tata surya AbstractEvery human being born in the world has the right to think and express it. However, the freedom to express a particular scientific concept sometimes experiences many obstacles. That is because every community group has different rules and beliefs. This makes the concept of the findings of a scientist contrary to what they believe to be a boomerang for him. Galileo's belief in the Copernicus heliocentric theory left him with the rest of his life under house arrest. His belief in the concept of the sun as the center of the solar system, which he continued to maintain on the basis of his observations and research, led to the recognition of the church after his death.Keywords: Galileo, heliocentric, the center of the solar system

The aim of the Round Table (RT) ”Problems in modelling stellar atmospheres“ was that of giving a panoramic view of the state of art on the atmospheric models used to predict observations of stars from T to A spectral type, the Sun included.

This article presents ideas on the significance of the four most important elements, the sun, earth, water, air which play a unique role in the creation of nature, all living things as well as plants, animals and human being. The importance of the water element is emphasized separately. Water is the source of all life, people must appreciate it, protect it and use it efficiently, without wasting the water. In the article all this is illustrated in the context of the life and activity of the first irrigator - the Uzbek woman - Holbibi, who is represented as a high specialist in the field of agriculture and water resources management. For several years, she selflessly led the water management system in the Namangan region and left a bright mark in this area.

Abstract A dialogue as a social reality consists, first and foremost, in communication between those who realize that they are called to notice and to accept the other and to treat him or her with proper respect. Such a dialogue may be motivated either by the desire to share the good or by the willingness to avoid conflict. The aforementioned approaches are marked by distinctly different attitudes, which are not only rooted in two different methodologies and have two different aims, but they also encompass two diverse procedures. More importantly, engaging in dialogue may also be motivated by realizing one’s own mission in life, i.e. acting in harmony with the spiritual nature of the human being, who is a relational being. Upon realizing his or her likeness to the Triune God, i.e. the inseparable communion of the Divine Persons, a Christian discovers that the Holy Trinity constitutes the model and source for his or her own involvement in maintaining relationships with other people. Chiara Lubich, the founder of the Focolare Movement was a contemporary thinker, who had realized and creatively developed the human vocation for unity in the likeness of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This movement, founded by Lubich, has both lay and consecrated members who are devoted to building the culture of unity based upon promoting dialogue as a tool for interpersonal communication. The aim of this article is to present the spiritual experience of Chiara Lubich, which marks the origin of this new concept of a dialogue rooted in the mystery of Divine unity.

Evidence previously presented by one of the authors (1) suggests strongly that chromospheric activity decreases with age in main sequence stars. This tentative conclusion rests principally upon a comparison of the members of large clusters (Hyades, Praesepe, Pleiades) with non-cluster objects in the general field, including the Sun. It is at least conceivable, however, that cluster and non-cluster stars might differ in some fundamental fashion which could influence the degree of chromospheric activity, and that the observed differences in chromospheric activity would then be attributable to the circumstances of stellar origin rather than to age.

It is now possible to determine proper motions of high-velocity objects in such a way as to obtain with some accuracy the velocity vector relevant to the Sun. If a potential field of the Galaxy is assumed, one can compute an actual orbit. A determination of the velocity of the globular clusterωCentauri has recently been completed at Greenwich, and it is found that the orbit is strongly retrograde in the Galaxy. Similar calculations may be made, though with less certainty, in the case of RR Lyrae variable stars.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.
