The long-lasting archaeological work at Elephantine has provided a wealth of information on one of the oldest urban centres of Ancient Egypt. However, little is known of its hinterland. This contribution discusses the period comprising the end of the Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period. A range of evidence related to the arrival of Nubian nomads from the south is attested at this time. They are archaeologically known with the name of ‘Pan-Grave’ culture. The Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project has identified a variety of Pan-Grave sites, all situated on the West Bank north of Aswan. They consist of ephemeral campsites, desert shelters/watch stations, rock art locales, and three cemeteries. The ongoing investigation of the cemeteries dates the arrival of three different communities to the early-mid Thirteenth Dynasty, with only the closest to Elephantine lasting till the early Seventeenth Dynasty. These small groups of nomads seemed to have been the only inhabitants of the West Bank suggesting that the region at the time was sparsely inhabited. The variety and complexity of the Pan-Grave cemeteries have revealed the existence of multifaceted and intricate funerary rituals, of which there is no evidence in Egyptian sources and within the urban centre of Elephantine. The evidence also suggests that these nomads sustained their communities through local natural resources and possibly offered their labour and services to the nearby settlements of Elephantine and Syene. The finding in the grave of a pregnant woman of ostrich eggshell blanks and unfinished beads similar to those found in Elephantine House 169 is proof of this synergetic bond.

Cooling Methods for High-Power Electronic Systems Thermal management is a crucial step in the design of power electronic applications, especially railroad traction and automotive systems. Mass/size parameters, robustness and reliability of the power electronic system greatly depend on the cooling system type and performance. This paper presents an approximate parameter estimation of the thermal management system required as well as different commercially available cooling solutions. Advantages and drawbacks of different designs ranging from simple passive heatsinks to complex evaporative systems are discussed.

Substansi pembangunan berbasis spasial di Indonesia diregulasikan melalui kebijakan penataan ruang, tujuannya adalah menata aspek struktur dan pola ruang wilayah. Struktur ruang fokus pada jaringan infrastruktur sedangkan pola ruang mengatur penggunaan lahan. Kebijakan ini diimplemetasikan secara massif sejak tahun 2007, namun efek spasial setiap aspeknya belum banyak diteliti. Hal ini menyebabkan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah propinsi dan kabupaten/kota diimplementasikan cenderung tidak dilengkapi dengan kedalaman analisis yang kuat untuk mendukung pengaturan struktur dan pola ruang wilayah. Kajian ini bertujuan menelaah aspek struktur ruang yakni jaringan jalan sebagai indikator aksessibilitas wilayah sebagai bentuk output pembangunan yang berdampak luas pada kemajuan wilayah. Fokus penelitian adalah efek spasial jaringan jalan yang diukur dari panjang jalan dan keterkaitannya dengan variabel dirinya secara kontinyu dan berketetanggaan dengan wilayah sekitarnya.

The stock market of ASEAN at present has experienced various of development rapidly on one side, but on the other side also extremely vulnerable to influence various changes in macro economy, social, and political in the country and overseas. Macro economy conditions can influence composite stock price index. Indicators of macro economy are chosen in research is inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate. The three is part of the key variables of macro economy that can be used to see the activity of a country’s economy. This research analyzed the influence of third macro economy variables to composite stock price index in five ASEAN countries namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Thailand were using analysis multiple linear regression with research’s periode January 2014 up to December 2016. Results showing that partially, only exchange rate which have significant effect on composite stock price index, while inflation and interest rate has no significant effect on...
