In this chapter I look at how Denim Jean are deployed for ordinary body sexualization. Despite their codification as potentially sexy, jeans remain mundane, almost ubiquitous items, perceived as remarkably versatile for all practical purposes in ordinary life. They are subject to fashion dynamics, and indeed represent an important segment in the fashion industry. They thus provide an excel-lent spot for the exploration of sexualization as an ordinary practice that emerges from – and aside to – normal daily rounds, as much as it is performed in specialized places or choreographed in a myriad of glamorized symbolic forms. I ntroduce my discussion by initially considering how Denim’s relationship to fashion illu-minates its relation to embodied subjectivity and individuality more generally. Rather than developing a semiotic approach, considering how the fashion system plunders fetishism or sexual subcultures for inspiration, I explore how the expression of sexuality (attraction and gender) is mediated by a particular clothing, denim jeans, which enjoys a particular status within the actualization of fashion in everyday life. In other words, I start naturalistically from reported practices of meaningful ordinary use of an ordinary item such as jeans, interrogating the chains of meanings that link identity, embodiment and sexuality. The mediating role of denim is revealed as subjects perform what I define as ‘mirror work’ - or actually looking at oneself and working on one's own ensuing emotions - to negotiate their own body perception in relation to normative ideals of beauty and sexuality. Based on ethnographic interviews, I show that denim jeans afford a perception of ‘fitness’ or appropriateness that articulates comfort with compliance as well as authenticity with adaptability. This dynamic is crucial to feeling sexy: something that is articulated via gendered notions of seduction.

We explore design criteria for a new multijunction solar cell concept, the three terminal selective band offset barrier solar cell (3T-SBOB). The 3T-SBOB reaches tandem solar efficiencies without suffering from series current constraints of two terminal designs, and without suffering from grid alignement issues of four terminal designs. It consists of a low bandgap silicon interdigitated back contact solar cell, connected to a high bandgap top cell by a selective band offset barrier (SBOB). The SBOB allows transport of only one type of charge carrier, leading to independent quasi-Fermi level separations in top and bottom cells under illumination It reaches tandem efficiencies with three terminals and with technical advantages over 2T and 4T devices. This paper reports results of the design of the 3T-SBOB device. Two candidate materials for this critical ETL and SBOB material are SnO2 and PC(71)BM. This paper presents these preliminary materials studies and resulting device structure...

Penitipan anak mulai berkembang di Indonesia, terutama di kota-kota besar, seperti Jakarta, Surabaya dan kota lainnya. Adapun Tempat Penitipan Anak (TPA) Balita Sandhy Putra merupakan salah satu tempat penitipan anak yang ada di Surabaya, tepatnya berlokasi di Ketintang, Kecamatan Wonokromo, kotamadya Surabaya. Banyak para ibu yang berkarier di luar rumah, mempunyai balita. Pada saat berdinas, mereka menitipkan balitanya dengan harapan anak dijaga, dirawat dan diasuh, sehingga kesejahteraan anak terpenuhi. Tugas menjaga, merawat danmengasuh balita-balita tersebut diserahkan kepada para perawat balita, dengan diberikan imbalan (upah) atas pekerjaan mereka. Oleh karena itu, tentunya dalam pelaksanaan tersebut diharapkan tidak menyimpang dari aturan Hukum Islam itu sendiri, terkecuali bila ada faktor-faktor tertantu yang dapat mempengaruhi sikap dan tindakan mereka, sehingga menyimpang dari norma-norma yang ada. Rumusan masalah dalam pembahasan ini adalah; 1). Sejauh manakah pelaksanaa...

Para el Dr. José Luiz Borges Horta con sumo aprecio. Resum: Avui la globalització és més o menys potent segons l'aspecte que considerem. Estem molt globalitzats en el tecnològic i econòmic, però poc en el cultural i gairebé res en el polític i social. Cal humanitzar la globalització i fer que el conjunt de la humanitat "se n'apoderi", ja que és simplement un producte humà. La humanitat sempre ha estat mínimament globalitzada i per això, malgrat la diversitat geogràfica, continua sent una única espècie. Abans però la globalització gairebé no era perceptible. En canvi, amb la Modernitat, s'ha evidenciat la seva importància, per exemple amb violents efectes com la colonització i l'imperialisme. Europa i després Occident van liderar aquesta globalització, però avui la seva hegemonia sembla disminuir. Per comprendre-hi el seu paper i encarar el futur, és important que Occident sigui conscient de la genealogia de la globalització. Paraules clau: globalització, em...
