This paper focuses on the thoughts of Sarah Coakley who tried to enter into dialogue with the concepts of the trinity, sexuality, and gender. According to Coakley, the root cause of sexuality and gender lies in desire (eros). Coakley made a strong critique of Sigmund Freud’s thinking. If it was Freud who said the desire for God was really about sex, on the other hand, Coakley asserted, sexual desire was always about the desire for God. Coakley approaches the reality of the Trinity and relates it to the problem of human desire through contemplation. The practice of contemplation provides clues about how one can transcend existing gender and sexuality stereotypes. The contemplation that is at the heart of Coakley’s thinking plays a very important role in approaching the Trinity, and from there he addresses issues of sexuality and gender.

Toraja has long been known as an area that is very thick with customs and culture. Rambu Solo’ is a traditional death ceremony which in the process of its activities there is a buffalo slaughter. The number of buffalo is determined by the strata of the family who died or the ability of the family and relatives. Because the consumption of buffalo meat is quite high in Toraja, and knowledge about the quality of meat such as buffalo meat has still lacked in the community, it is necessary to test the quality of the meat. In measuring the quality of meat usually use laboratory tests, the results of which are quite long. In addition, the testing has not been carried out by the Health Service in Toraja due to limited tools and other facilities. With the development of science, now there are several sensors to detect variables of the maturity of a meat such as the color, moisture and pH. This research is a continue research that has previously been carried out, namely a prototype measuring tool for measuring meat maturity based on color.In this study, a prototype measuring instrument for the quality of buffalo meat has been made using the parameters of color, moisture and pH. The results of this study is show that prototype is able to identify several parameters of meat quality. The higher the RGB data, the better the meat. As for the good moisture, the meat has a high water holding capacity or humidity, while the pH of the meat measured is still in normal conditions for all types of meat.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks, linked directly to tradition and culture. Coffee consumption continues to increase, resulting in very large quantities solid residue in the form of spent coffee grounds. Spent coffee grounds (SCG) contain a large amount of organic compounds. This paper aims to review a number of options to utilize productively SCG in electronics applications that currently being researched. Several previous research and innovations explored certain components as value-added products. However, by-products of coffee can also be considered as a potential functional material to be utilized in various electronic applications. Utilization of coffee grounds is an urgent need through a number of innovative and practical ideas to increase the added value and potential of coffee grounds as a whole.

Play is one of the characteristics of elementary school children ((elementary school) . This is because elementary school age children have unlimited energy to be involved in playing. By utilizing the game in learning can make students learn while playing. Games that can be applied in learning are games that contain elements of learning. One example of a game that contains elements of learning is the traditional game of Si Goal and Si Patte’. Thus, this study aims to analyze: (1) the concept of integer counting operations contained in the traditional game of the goal, and (2) the concept of integer counting operation contained in the traditional game Si Patte. This research is qualitative research with ethnographic approach. Informant (data source) in this study is a community located in Bori Ranteletok. The data in this study was obtained from the data of interviews with informants, field records made during the study and documentation in the form of photos of children playing traditional games of the Goal and the Patte’. The results of this study show that: (1) there is a concept of integer counting operations, i.e. multiplication, division, addition and subtraction in the game of the goal, and (2) there is the concept of integer counting operations, i.e. multiplication, summing and subtraction in the game Si Patte’. So that with the concept of integer counting operations contained in the traditional game of Si Goal and Si Patte’, then the traditional game can be used as a strategi in teaching the concept of integer operations in elementary school children to make learning more enjoyable. Learning mathematics by utilizing culture is called ethnomatematics. Teaching culture-based mathematics needs to be done by the teacher, because in addition to helping students to learn more meaningfully through real actions this activity can also help students to better know and love their own culture.

Stainless steel 304 is a metal used to replace damaged bones. However, this metal has a low level of biocompatibility in the body. To solve this problem, the metals are coated with a biocompatible material before implantation. The material used to coat the stainless steel is an apatite compound derived from eggshell because the composition of minor minerals of eggshell was CaCO3 94%, MgCO3 1%, CaPO4 1%, and organic material 4%. The method used in this research is the electrophoretic deposition method. This research aims to study the effect of apatite compounds that are coating on stainless steel 304 surfaces. Based on the experimental results, the suspension process carried out pH controls that resulted in pH 11.15, 1.42, 3.86, and 4.55. Increasing and decreasing pH can occur because the compound of HNO3 and NH4OH was strong acid and base. Researchers were not very careful in measuring the volume of HNO3 and NH4OH when it was inserted into the apatite compound suspension. The pH of the suspension affected the potential value (ζ), which indicated the stability of the particle resistance and determined the direction and speed of migration during the EPD process. Using the apatite compound concentration affected the mass of apatite compounds deposited on the stainless steel 304. Based on the experimental results, apatite compounds can attach to the stainless steel 304 surface.

Pornografi adalah sebuah budaya yang turut berkembang pesat seiring dengan kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Bahkan, pornografi dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang lumrah dan menjadi komoditas komersial yang bernilai ekonomi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan refleksi teologis yang dalam guna memperbaiki paradigma dan praksis tentang makna tubuh dan seksualitas. Dengan menggunakan penelitian pustaka, tulisan ini memperlihatkan bahwa pornografi telah mendistorsi pemahaman manusia mengenai seksualitas dan persepsinya tentang sesama manusia. Paham dan tindakan pengobjekan terhadap tubuh demi kesenangan diri sendiri telah berlaku dan dianggap benar oleh masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini menawarkan teologi tubuh sebagai upaya memperbaiki misinterpretasi tentang tubuh. Tubuh bukan sekadar raga, melainkan seluruh eksistensi diri manusia yang juga merupakan identitas personal sekaligus komunal.
