ABSTRAK Wabah covid -19 telah menjadi pandemic di hampir semua negara di dunia. Pandemi ini membuat para ilmuwan berpikir keras mencari penyebab adanya virus tersebut dan sekaligus berjuang hingga kini menemukan obat dan vaksin yang tepat. Pandemic ini telah menimbulkan kepanikan di masyarakat dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Karena kemunculan virus ini sangat berbahaya dan bisa mematikan serta penyebarannya yang cepat, membuat orang menyangka bahwa virus ini adalah semacam hukuman Tuhan atas manusia, bahkan ada juga yang bertanya apakah virus ini bagian dari tanda-tanda bahwa akhir zaman sudah tiba. Kepanikan ini membuat para pemimpin agama tidak mudah untuk menjawab pertanyaan dan menanggapi berbagai pernyataan yang liar. Karenanya penulis ikut bersumbangsih melihat covid 19 ini dalam perspektif eskatologi Paulus. Penulis akan menggunakan metode deskriptif untuk memberi gambaran mengenai covid ini dan memberi penjabaran secara teologis hasil dari penelusuran terhadap teks-teks tulisan Paulus mengenai akhir zaman, yang tentunya mengkaitkannya dengan peristiwa covid yang sedang melanda dunia. Tulisan ini akan memberi gambaran apakah memang Paulus juga memberi gambaran tentang akhir zaman yang ada kaitannya dengan penderitaan yang dialami manusia akibat penyakit dll. Atau sesungguhnya keberadaan covid hanyalah penyakit sampar biasa yang tidak berkaitan dengan akhir zaman. Karenanya melalui penelusuran dan penafsiran terhadap teks-teks yang berkaitan dengan akhir zaman, maka penulis akan menguraikan hubungan antara keberadaan covid ini dengan eskatologi menurut tulisan Paulus.   ABSTRACT _______________________________________________________________ The COVID-19 outbreak has become a pandemic in almost all countries in the world. This pandemic has made scientists think hard to find the cause of the virus and have struggled to find the right medicine and vaccine. This pandemic has caused panic in the world community, including Indonesia. Because the appearance of this virus is very dangerous and can be deadly as well as its rapid spread, people think that this virus has been activated by God on humans, some even ask whether this virus is part of the signs that the end of time has arrived. This panic makes it difficult for religious leaders to answer questions and statements that are liars. Therefore the authors share in seeing Covid 19 from the perspective of Paul's eschatology. The author will use a descriptive method to provide an overview of covid and provide a theological explanation of the results of tracing Paul's writings regarding the end of time, which of course relates it to the covid events that are hitting the world. This paper will give an idea of ??whether Paul also gave a picture of the end times which is related to human suffering due to disease etc. Or the existence of covid is just an ordinary pestilence that has nothing to do with the end times. Because of the investigation and interpretation of texts relating to the end of time, the author will describe the relationship between the existence of covid and eschatology according to Paul's writings.

It will soon be 75 years since the United Nations Charter proclaimed the equal rights of peoples including their right to self-determination, as well as the obligations of countries — members to protect these rights collectively. In 1966, the International Covenants on Human Rights were signed and entered into force in 1976. So began with the confirmation of the right of peoples to self-determination and clarification of the content of this right. In subsequent decades, the UN and continental organizations have adopted hundreds of international agreements on certain as- pects of people’s rights (to choose a social system, study in native languages, to development and progress, etc.). However, many ethnic groups still cannot use their lawfully granted rights due to reasons which are beyond their control. The author of the article provides an explanation of the reasons preventing people from realizing the selfdetermination right recognized by the world community on the example of the Kurdish people. The theoretical and methodological aspects of the problem may be equally applicable to other peoples who, against their will, find themselves in multinational states.

This paper examines religious and state relations of Islamic thought perspective. This study aims to describe how the relationship between religion and state in the view of Islam. The method used in obtaining data is descriptive method through literature study. The results of the study show that among Muslim figures or thinkers such as Nurcholish Madjid and Abdur Rahman Wahid agree that there is a constructive relationship between state and religion which by revivalists separates it. Some of the indicators are: (1) Islam gives the principles of the formation of a state with the concept of khalīfah ,dawlah, or hukūmah, (2) Islam emphasizes the democratic values of truth and justice, and (3) Islam upholds Human Rights by stating that the basic rights that human beings bring ever since they are born are the right of religious freedom. Therefore, Islam essentially emphasizes the importance of human rights to be upheld in a state, because human rights are rights that should not be disturbed and deprived from the person who has the right.

Soon after its creation, Pakistan confronted many issues including refugee problem, scarcity of able political leadership, absence of mutual consensus between both wings of the country and confusing nature of the relationship between Islam and state etc. took almost nine years to frame the permanent constitution for Pakistan. Constitution, the basic document of a state, determines the shape of its laws, structure of governance and system of rights and duties. The effectiveness of a constitution is judged by its practicability in the given area where it is enforced by the state machinery. Although, all civilized states of the world do possess a constitution, yet a good constitution is one which must protect the basic human rights by ensuring the independence of judiciary. Due to countless hurdles at the beginning of its journey, Pakistan’s constitutional development in the right direction could not take place. The main objective of the present study is to provide deep insight into the events and factors causing a delay in the constitution-making for the newly created state of Pakistan. The various events which took place from 1947 to 1956 have been analyzed in a subtle way.

The keyboard spans (i.e., octave spans) of old keyboard instruments was compared with those of modern pianos to explore whether the relationship between keyboard span and hand span is a contributory factor in overuse problems among pianists. The distance on the keyboard between the left side of the C4 key and the right side of the C5 key was measured in 120 old keyboard instruments, including 26 harpsichords, 8 clavichords, 7 spinets, 4 virginals, 75 pianofortes, and 20 square pianos, manufactured from 1559 through 1929. The oldest harpsichords and pianoforte showed a keyboard span equal to that of the modern piano. In late 18th and early 19th centuries, the span diminished by 3 to 6 mm on average. In the later 19th century, the keyboard span returned to the 188-mm modern size. Unfortunately, almost all famous piano pieces composed in that 100-year period use a small keyboard, and this fact is compatible with the paradoxical situation that many modern pianists struggle with difficult piano techniques on a modern keyboard, which is broader than the old type that the 18th and 19th-century composers used.

There are millions of television cable channel cards in hotels, motels and homes around the world. Almost all of these lists are organized with TV channel numbers arranged in numerical order on the left and corresponding station call letters on the right. Office buildings have the building directories organized in a similar way. Such organization may be inefficient in terms of the time needed to find a specific channel. It may be more efficient to organize such lists with the station call letters arranged alphabetically at the left. To test this hypothesis participants were presented with lists of TV channels or personal names organized either in the traditional numerical order format or in an alphabetical format. The task was to find eight different TV channels or names on the two types of lists. Lists arranged alphabetically were searched significantly faster than those arranged in the traditional numerical sequence format.

This paper examines the relationship of suffering, the need for care, and the healing power of aesthetics in human science. The authors live in the world of art and healing as scholars, educators, performers, and healers. In examining suffering in a cooperative mode of inquiry, the authors reflected on aesthetic works of suffering and beauty, as well as science, nursing literature, and illness narratives. Implications for nursing practice, education, and research are discussed. Recommendations for the possibilities of healing art in hospitals will be addressed as a restorative process in postmodern healthcare. The hospitals have been described as concentrated centers of human suffering, very much in need of its healing sister, art.

The relationship of philosophy to science is a matter of long historical dispute. Philosophy has been described variously as the mother, the queen or the handmaiden of science, depending on whether the philosopher’s role was perceived as that of giving birth to science, of regulating and legitimating scientific discourse or of clearing the conceptual underbrush in the way of scientific advance. This essay, by contrast, is grounded on a conception of philosophy and science as partners or sisters, perhaps even as Siamese twin sisters, both proceeding from the same impulse to understand ourselves and the world and to change both for the better. Occasionally relations between philosophy and science have been marred by sibling rivalry, with each sister claiming the right to control and limit the pretensions of the other. In fact, however, philosophy and science are interdependent and ultimately inseparable. To borrow a famous slogan from another context: science without philosophy is blind; philosophy without science is empty.
