General and anatomical features of fourteen wood species from Maluku were observed and described for identification purposes. Except for Heritiera littoralis Dryand and Tarrietia riedeliana Oliv., all wood species could be distinguished one from the others based on anatomical characters. A tentative identification key is presented.

The aim of this investigation is to create a prediction model on the potentiality of supplying merchant wood products. The investigation was carried out in the province of Riau Four Sawmills and two plywood industries were selected for this study. The annual data concerning production factors (input factors) such as material input (x1), the price of raw material (x2), The cost of additive matters/auxiliaries (x3), the designed production capacities (x4), and the price per unit product (x5) were collected. In addition, their annual production (Y) was also recorded. The prediction model is intended to interpret the relationship between production factors and their actual production per annum by applying multiple regression analysis. The prediction models for Sawmill products and plywood products are presented respectively as follow : Y = 7.2140 + 0.5717 x1 – 0.1323 x2 – 0.1787 x3 + 0.0078 x4 + 0.2188 x5, and Y = 10.1774 + 2.1724 x1 – 0.6431 x2 + 0.0071 x3 + 0.6182 x4 + 0.7128 x5. Both models show a considerable high of confidence (P = 0.95).

The effect of cooking condition on the quality of rattan is presented in this article. Round fresh manau rattan samples, each of 100 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter were 80 stems in all. The samples were devided into 4 groups before cooking. Each group was cooked with four different oil mixtures and four levels of cooking time. The results reveal that the composition of cooking oils has a significant effect on the cane color and compressive strength parallel to grain. but has no effect on shear strength of the rattan. The mixtures containing coconut oil tends to reduce the rate of rattan skin color change during cooking. Also, such composition produced better rattan skin color in comparison with those treated with others.

A study on the physical and mechanical properties of block-board using core strip from 4 species of loging wastes has been undertaken and the results presented in this paper. The result shows that the everage value of block-board moisture content, density and strip density are 9.85%; 0.47 % and 0.43% respecttively. The bending strength of the block-board varies from 457.41 kg/cm2 (Jelutung) and 465.22 kg/cm2 (Perupuk) for paralel to the grain of the face and back veneer. The bending strength perpendicular to the grain of the outer veneer varies from 219. 76 kg/cm2 (Jelutung) and 418.85 kg/cm2 (Perupuk). The block-board samples which uses core strips from the 4 wood species have glue shear strength properties which complies with the Indonesian, German and Japanesse (JAS) standard, while the delamination complies only with Japanesse (JAS) standard.

Baki is one of the biggest and most famous poet of Divan Literature Being termed as poet laureate at his contemporary, poet's most rotable work is his Divan while his works in verse and prose are also available. Baki contrived his Divan with Süleyman the Magnificient's request during his lifetime. Being added the new poems, written later, new and different contrivances of the divan was put forth at different dates. The Baki Divan, whose manuscript copies reached over 100 at Turkish and European libraries, has been made third press, so far. Scientific press of the divan in comparison to various copies was made by Sabahattin Küçük. Existence of poems, registered in poem magazines rather than not present in poets'divans is a well-known matter. Poem magazines-notwithstanding needs to be approached cauticus (cautiously) from point of including poems' masters- are particularly important from the point of including poems that are not available in poets' divans. In this study we will introduce poems with appellative detected in various magazines which dont exist in printed divans of Baki. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the disintegration of the USSR, old communists (new liberals) formed the politics of liberalism. In their opinion, everything that occurred during the time of the USSR is bad, and even the state ideology of the USSR was bad because for the state it is impossible to form an ideology. I would like to raise a question in this paper: Is it necessary for Russia to have a state ideology? Having denied totally its previous period, the Russian society now searches ways to overcome the present ideological disintegration. In fact, now the present government often begins to overlook the question whether it is necessary to find a new world outlook and to develop a new ideology to solve the problems of arrangement of the Russian state. In the 90's the socialist idea has undergone fierce attacks by the representatives of the liberals. Arming itself with the ideology of liberalism they try to defend democratic Opposition in slogans of political democracy, pluralism, a lawful state and a civil society. This article attempts an analysis of the basic ideological doctrines used by the supreme circles of the Russian authority between 1992 and 1999. In this vein, a sociopolitical analysis of post Soviet Russia is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
