12.8% Ptolemy also wrote an influential work Harmonics on music theory and the mathematics of music. After criticizing the approaches of his predecessors Ptolemy argued for basing musical intervals on mathematical ratios (in contrast to the followers of Aristoxenus and in agreement with the followers of Pythagoras) backed up by empirical observation (in contrast to the overly theoretical approach of the Pythagoreans) Ptolemy wrote about how musical notes could be translated into mathematical equations and vice versa in Harmonics This is called Pythagorean tuning because it was first discovered by Pythagoras However Pythagoras believed that the mathematics of music should be based on the specific ratio of 3:2 whereas Ptolemy merely believed that it should just generally involve tetrachords and octaves He presented his own divisions of the tetrachord and the octave which he derived with the help of a monochord His Harmonics never had the influence of his Almagest or Planetary Hypotheses but a part of it (Book III) did encourage Kepler in his own musings on the harmony of the world (Kepler Harmonice Mundi Appendix to Book V). Ptolemy's astronomical interests also appeared in a discussion of the "music of the spheres" See: Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale, The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in member and non-member nations intended to evaluate educational systems by measuring 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic performance on mathematics science and reading it was first performed in 2000 and then repeated every three years Its aim is to provide comparable data with a view to enabling countries to improve their education policies and outcomes It measures problem solving and cognition The 2015 version of the test was published on 6 December 2016 The results of the 2018 data collection will be released on Tuesday 3 December 2019.

One conduit for this were the ascetics called resi who taught mystical practices A resi lived surrounded by students who took care of their master's daily needs Resi's authorities were merely ceremonial At the courts Brahmin clerics and pudjangga (sacred literati) legitimised rulers and linked Hindu cosmology to their political needs. Small Hindu enclaves are scattered throughout Java but there is a large Hindu population along the eastern coast nearest Bali especially around the town of Banyuwangi. Even though this is a field with many uncertainties it is expected that over the next 50 years climate changes will have an effect on the diversity of forest genetic resources and thereby on the distribution of forest tree species and the composition of forests Diversity of forest genetic resources enables the potential for a species (or a population) to adapt to climatic changes and related future challenges such as temperature changes drought pests diseases and forest fire However species are not naturally capable to adapt in the pace of which the climate is changing and the increasing temperatures will most likely facilitate the spread of pests and diseases creating an additional threat to forest trees and their populations to inhibit these problems human interventions such as transfer of forest reproductive material may be needed. 1.2 Southeast Asia Intervention by European banks (especially the Bundesbank) influenced the Forex market on 27 February 1985 the greatest proportion of all trades worldwide during 1987 were within the United Kingdom (slightly over one quarter) The United States had the second highest involvement in trading. .
