Abstract:

Abstract The modeling of binary microlensing light curves via the standard sampling-based method can be challenging, because of the time-consuming light-curve computation and the pathological likelihood landscape in the high-dimensional parameter space. In this work, we present MAGIC, which is a machine-learning framework to efficiently and accurately infer the microlensing parameters of binary events with realistic data quality. In MAGIC, binary microlensing parameters are divided into two groups and inferred separately with different neural networks. The key feature of MAGIC is the introduction of a neural controlled differential equation, which provides the capability to handle light curves with irregular sampling and large data gaps. Based on simulated light curves, we show that MAGIC can achieve fractional uncertainties of a few percent on the binary mass ratio and separation. We also test MAGIC on a real microlensing event. MAGIC is able to locate degenerate solutions even when large data gaps are introduced. As irregular samplings are common in astronomical surveys, our method also has implications for other studies that involve time series.

Abstract:

This article explores the relationship between the theory/experience of interconnectedness that is central to group analysis and the notion/experience of magic that is rarely written about in group analysis. The first part of the article reviews the history of magic in psychological theories of the mind ranging from Plato to Freud and Jung. A group-analytic clinical example serves to introduce a discussion of the place of magic within group-analytic theory and practice. It is hoped that this will encourage further dialogue about this important subject.

Abstract:

The tire dynamics simulation was done for the different speeds on the dry and wet roads with Magic Formula tire model. The coefficients of Magic Formula tire model under different conditions were obtained by means of the tire test data based on the nonlinear least squares method. The Magic Formula has a good ability to fit the test data for the longitudinal, lateral force and align moment. The tire dynamics simulation results show that at 30mph the wet tire peak longitudinal and lateral forces are only slightly less than the dry peak forces. The wet tire peak longitudinal and lateral forces decreases as the tire speed increases. This shows that the speed has a larger impact on the tire force. The align moment is relatively small. So it can be ignored in the vehicle dynamics analysis.

Abstract:

Abstract Dynamic behavior of a pneumatic tire is simulated by use of an explicit finite element (FE) code. Different parts of the tire and their corresponding material properties are taken into account in the FE model because they play a significant role in tire dynamics. The work presented in this study discusses simulation of cornering behavior, braking behavior, and combined cornering-cum-braking behavior. The effects of camber angle and grooved tread on tire cornering behavior are discussed. ABAQUS/Explicit, a general non-linear FE code, was used for these simulations. To predict the Magic Formula characteristics over a complete range, various simulations are performed at different normal loads and operating conditions. Predicted Magic Formula curves from the simulation results for various dynamic conditions closely follow the experimental data curves. Even though these simulations demand huge computational resources, the predicted Magic Formula curves can be directly used as input in the complete study of vehicle dynamics. Thus, this proposed approach minimizes the costly experiments needed to determine the Magic Formula characteristics and thereby forms a viable tool in the design and the development of tires.

Abstract:

The compelling need to increase global agricultural production requires new breeding approaches that facilitate exploiting the diversity available in the plant genetic resources. Multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations are large sets of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) that are a genetic mosaic of multiple founder parents. MAGIC populations display emerging features over experimental bi-parental and germplasm populations in combining significant levels of genetic recombination, a lack of genetic structure, and high genetic and phenotypic diversity. The development of MAGIC populations can be performed using “funnel” or “diallel” cross-designs, which are of great relevance choosing appropriate parents and defining optimal population sizes. Significant advances in specific software development are facilitating the genetic analysis of the complex genetic constitutions of MAGIC populations. Despite the complexity and the resources required in their development, due to their potential and interest for breeding, the number of MAGIC populations available and under development is continuously growing, with 45 MAGIC populations in different crops being reported here. Though cereals are by far the crop group where more MAGIC populations have been developed, MAGIC populations have also started to become available in other crop groups. The results obtained so far demonstrate that MAGIC populations are a very powerful tool for the dissection of complex traits, as well as a resource for the selection of recombinant elite breeding material and cultivars. In addition, some new MAGIC approaches that can make significant contributions to breeding, such as the development of inter-specific MAGIC populations, the development of MAGIC-like populations in crops where pure lines are not available, and the establishment of strategies for the straightforward incorporation of MAGIC materials in breeding pipelines, have barely been explored. The evidence that is already available indicates that MAGIC populations will play a major role in the coming years in allowing for impressive gains in plant breeding for developing new generations of dramatically improved cultivars.

Abstract:

Context. The increase in sensitivity of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) has lead to numerous detections of extended γ-ray sources at TeV energies, sometimes of sizes comparable to the instrument’s field of view. This creates a demand for advanced and flexible data analysis methods that are able to extract source information using the photon counts in the entire field of view. Aims. We present a new software package, “SkyPrism”, aimed at performing 2D (3D if energy is considered) fits of IACT data that possibly contain multiple and extended sources. The fits are based on sky images binned in energy. Although the development of this package was focused on the analysis of data collected with the MAGIC telescopes, it can further be adapted to other instruments, such as the future Cherenkov Telescope Array. Methods. We have developed a set of tools that in addition to sky images (count maps) compute the instrument response functions of MAGIC (effective exposure throughout the field of view, point spread function, energy resolution, and background shape) based on the input data, Monte Carlo simulations, and the pointing track of the telescopes. With this information, the package can perform a simultaneous maximum likelihood fit of source models of arbitrary morphology to the sky images providing energy spectra, detection significances, and upper limits. Results. We demonstrate that the SkyPrism tool accurately reconstructs the MAGIC point spread function, on- and off-axis performance as well as the underlying background. We further show that for a point source analysis with the MAGIC default observational settings, SkyPrism gives results compatible with those of the standard tools while being more flexible and widely applicable.

Abstract:

The people are the most precious resource of a nation. The operation of an economy depends, to a great extent, on the employment of people. Good health is a vital factor for the provision of regular supply of labor as it avoids the disruptions caused by sickness and the resulting absenteeism. Black Magic affects human beings health indirectly both physically and mentally. It creates invisible health problems; this is also one of the reasons to reduce the worker’s productivity in their fields. This study explained the Symptoms of black magic and issues faced by the respondents due to black magic. The promotion and protection of the health of the people are essential to sustain economic and social development.

Abstract:

Discordianism, founded in 1957 and generally regarded as a “parody religion,” has only recently received scholarly consideration as a valid religious expression within modern Paganism (Cusack 2010). Yet ritual practice within Discordianism remains largely unexamined; Hugh Urban’s brief discussion of Discordian magical workings as a sub-category of Chaos Magic is the extent of academic discussion of the subject to date (Urban 2006). This article elaborates on Urban’s tantalising classification of Discordian magic. A brief history of Discordianism is sketched; then ritual and magic in the Discordian tradition is explored through an examination of key texts, including Malaclypse the Younger’s Principia Discordia (1965), and Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus! Trilogy (1975). Similarities between Chaos Magic and Discordianism are noted, and an analysis of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY), a magical order founded by British performance artist Genesis P-Orridge and others in 1981, elucidates the relationship between Chaos Magic and Discordian magic. It is argued that the essentially unorganised nature of Chaos Magic and Discordianism, and the trenchant resistance of both to any form of “orthodoxy,” justifies classifying Discordian magic as a form of Chaos Magic. Chaos magicians and Discordians both have a deconstructive and monistic worldview, in which binary oppositions collapse into undifferentiated oneness, and neither conformity of belief nor unity of practice is required to be an “authentic” Discordian or Chaote.

Abstract:

AbstractAnalyses of religious behavior by cultural (i.e., hermeneutic) scholars of religion are impoverished because the intuitive interpretive method employed in fieldwork analysis fails to fill an explanatory gap in religious studies because of (1) the reliance upon informant (ethnographic) data that itself requires explanation, and because of (2) the rejection of relevant scientific explanatory models required to explain that data. We argue that fieldwork is often necessary for data acquisition but not sufficient for analysis, that stringent methods of evaluation are a necessary component of the analysis of religious behavioral data, and that such tools are currently available to scholars willing to engage methods and theories outside the humanities. Noticing tendencies in ethnographic interpretation, examining fresh interdisciplinary approaches, and revisiting fundamental meta-theoretical issues concerning the nature of explanatory reasoning may help to mitigate the generally ineffective state of scholarship in the field.

Abstract:

The rapidly increasing rate at which biological data is being produced requires a corresponding growth in relational databases and associated tools that can help laboratories contend with that data. With this need in mind, we describe here a Modular Approach to a Genomic, Integrated and Comprehensive (MAGIC) Database. This Oracle 9i database derives from an initial focus in our laboratory on gene discovery via production and analysis of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and subsequently on gene expression as assessed by both EST clustering and microarrays. The MAGIC Gene Discovery portion of the database focuses on information derived from DNA sequences and on its biological relevance. In addition to MAGIC SEQ-LIMS, which is designed to support activities in the laboratory, it contains several additional subschemas. The latter include MAGIC Admin for database administration, MAGIC Sequence for sequence processing as well as sequence and clone attributes, MAGIC Cluster for the results of EST clustering, MAGIC Polymorphism in support of microsatellite and single-nucleotide-polymorphism discovery, and MAGIC Annotation for electronic annotation by BLAST and BLAT. The MAGIC Microarray portion is a MIAME-compliant database with two components at present. These are MAGIC Array-LIMS, which makes possible remote entry of all information into the database, and MAGIC Array Analysis, which provides data mining and visualization. Because all aspects of interaction with the MAGIC Database are via a web browser, it is ideally suited not only for individual research laboratories but also for core facilities that serve clients at any distance.

Abstract:

The optimal management of resectable oesophageal adenocarcinoma is controversial, with many centres using neoadjuvant chemotherapy following the Medical Research Council (MRC) oesophageal working group (OE02) trial and the MRC Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy (MAGIC) trial. The more intensive MAGIC regimen is used primarily in gastric cancer but some also use it for oesophageal cancer. A database of cancer resections (2001–2013) provided information on survival of patients following either OE02 or MAGIC-type treatment. The data were compared using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Straight-to-surgery patients were also reviewed and divided into an ‘early’ cohort (2001–2006, OE02 era) and a ‘late’ cohort (2006–2013, MAGIC era) to estimate changes in survival over time. Subgroup analysis was performed for responders (tumour regression grade [TRG] 1–3) versus non-responders (TRG 4 and 5) and for anatomical site (gastro-oesophageal junction [GOJ] vs oesophagus). An OE02 regimen was used for 97 patients and 275 received a MAGIC regimen. Those in the MAGIC group were of a similar age to those undergoing OE02 chemotherapy but the proportion of oesophageal cancers was higher among MAGIC patients than among those receiving OE02 treatment. MAGIC patients had a significantly lower stage following chemotherapy than OE02 patients and a higher median overall survival although TRG was similar. On subgroup analysis, this survival benefit was maintained for GOJ and oesophageal cancer patients as well as non-responders. Analysis of responders showed no difference between regimens. ‘Late’ group straight-to-surgery patients were significantly older than those in the ‘early’ group. Survival, however, was not significantly different for these two cohorts. Although the original MAGIC trial comprised few oesophageal cancer cases, our patients had better survival with MAGIC than with OE02 chemotherapy in all anatomical subgroups, even though there was no significant change in operative survival over the time period in which these patients were treated. The use of the MAGIC regimen should therefore be encouraged in cases of operable oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract:

The performance art of magic allows us to experience the impossible, and this study used a balancing magic trick to investigate the relationship between participants’ enjoyment and perceived impossibility. Participants watched a live performance of a magic trick in which the magician balanced objects in progressively more impossible configurations. At seven different time points observers rated their enjoyment, and the extent to which they believed what they saw was impossible. Regression analysis revealed that participants’ enjoyment of the magical effect relates to their perceived impossibility of the magic trick, and this relationship was independent of how much they enjoyed magic in general. Moreover, a one-way within-subjects analysis of variance showed that participants enjoyed the performance More as the trick became more impossible. However, once the magical effect was anticipated, enjoyment began to plateau while perceived impossibility continued to increase. These results are discussed in the context of people's aesthetic appreciation of magic and current arts appreciation models.

Abstract Drawing Down the Moon is an outstanding contribution to the contemporary debate about ritual practices and magic. My review focuses on two intersecting points, the definition of magic as discourse in Chapter One and the analysis of “love charms and erotic curses” in Chapter Four. I begin with the second issue, the category love magic, and will return to the first, magic as discourse, at the end. I have a fairly narrow point to make about the category love magic: the modern classification incorporates but does not sufficiently analyze ancient notions of agency. On the issue of definitions of magic, Edmonds’s careful study reveals the problems of classifying rituals based on a narrow notion of discourse.

AbstractIf familiarity with magic was previously associated with curiosities lacking real value, it now seems generally agreed that knowledge of magic in the past is but one aspect of knowledge of religion and also of the society in which magic is investigated. This condition also applies to magic in the world of the Talmudic sages, a broad culture of many years with many receptors for magic. Two of the questions that have occupied investigators for over a century concern the extent to which the sages of the Mishnah and Talmud were participants in magic and the issue of whether or not there was a gap between religion and magic in antiquity. The thrust of the following treatment is to add to this subject the investigation of Judaism in antiquity through textual analysis and methodological examination of the problems facing the student of the sources.

Abstract:

Abstract Even though the concept of “magic” has suffered severe criticism in academic discourse, the category continues to be used in many disciplines. During the last two decades, classicists in particular have engaged in a lively discussion over “magic” and have produced an impressive amount of written output. Given the impossibility of defining “magic” in a consistent and widely accepted manner, one cannot help but wonder what these scholars are actually talking about. Hence this paper purports (a) to critically review the recent debate on “magic” in Classical Studies, (b) to advocate for abandoning an abstract category of “magic” in favour of a proper analysis of ancient sources and (c) to historicize the term “magic” in Antiquity, that is, to muse on its ancient semantics, functions, and contexts. This methodological approach does not only overcome the major problems inherent in modern definitions of “magic,” but will also yield new insights into terminologies, modes of thought and speech strategies that underlie ancient religious discourses.

Abstract:

Purpose: This study was conducted to describe the development and validation of the Hocus Focus Magic Performance Evaluation Scale (HFMPES), which is used to evaluate the competency of health professions personnel in delivering magic tricks as a therapeutic modality. Methods: A 2-phase validation process was used. Phase I (content validation) involved 16 magician judges who independently rated the relevance of each of the 5 items in the HFMPES and established the veracity of its content. Phase II evaluated the psychometric properties of the HFMPES. This process involved 2 magicians using the HFMPES to independently evaluate 73 occupational therapy graduate students demonstrating 3 magic tricks.Results: The HFMPES achieved an excellent scale-content validity index of 0.99. Exploratory factor analysis of the HFMPES scores revealed 1 distinct factor with alpha coefficients ≥0.8 across the 3 magic tricks. The construct validity of the HFMPES scores was further supported by evidence from a known-groups analysis, in which the Mann–Whitney U-test showed significant difference in HFMPES scores between participants with different levels of experience in delivering the 3 magic tricks. The inter-rater reliability coefficients were ≥0.75 across the 3 magic tricks, indicating that the competency of health professions personnel in delivering the 3 magic tricks could be evaluated precisely.Conclusion: Preliminary evidence supported the content and construct validity of the HFMPES, which was found to have good internal consistency and inter-rater reliability in evaluating health professions personnel’s competency in delivering magic tricks.

Abstract This article raises the question of how contemporary multicultural authors and film directors build upon the magic-realist convention, with its specific narra-tive-discourse configurations (the way the story is told) to allow their audience access to foreign, often bizarre worlds. The first section of the analysis deals with understanding the precise structural configurations that make a text work as magic realism and explores variations that complicate the schemata. The second section relies on the first section's discussion of magic-realist codes to look closely at Julie Dash's film Daughters of the Dust , a text type that utilizes its visual and auditory tracks to work as magic realism.

Abstract:

This paper describes fabrication of a magic-mirror with an extremely small concavo-convex surface, which is invisible to the naked eye. The magic-mirror was manufactured by end-milling with a machining center on the rear of the workpiece after polishing. Incident light was radiated to the mirror surface and the reflected light was projected on a screen. The tool pass by CNC programming show up as image of magic-mirror on the screen. Analysis of the image on the screen indicated completion rate of magic-mirror surface generation. As some experimental result, the integrated magic-mirror production process on the machining center could be achieved by a novel application of on-machine magnetic abrasive finishing and ball end-milling. Moreover, it was found to possible to fabricate a magic-mirror with satiny and continuous-curvature corrugated surface.

Abstract:

Abstract Magic call is a voice changer modification service from the provider that allows you to change the original voice when calling. This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of the similarity level of magic call voice recordings on Telkomsel and XL providers with original voice recordings for forensic audio purposes. The voice recordings of magic call Telkomsel and XL use 4 voice recording samples consisting of 2 women and 2 men using their original voices. The data were analyzed using pitch, formant, and spectrogram analysis techniques. The data were then extracted using praat and gnumeric tools. The findings in this study showed that the four-voice recordings of 2 women and 2 men from magic call were compared with the original voice recordings showing non-identical results. This can be seen from the analysis results table which shows that 13 words from the sound recordings have very high non-identical values compared to identical values. It can be concluded that the magic call on Telkomsel and XL providers are not identical. Keywords— Forensic Audio, Sound Recording, Provider, Magic Call.

Abstract:

Mosaic animals have provided the platform for many fundamental discoveries in developmental biology, cell biology, and other fields. Techniques to produce mosaic animals by mitotic recombination have been extensively developed in Drosophila melanogaster but are less common for other laboratory organisms. Here, we report mosaic analysis by gRNA-induced crossing-over (MAGIC), a new technique for generating mosaic animals based on DNA double-strand breaks produced by CRISPR/Cas9. MAGIC efficiently produces mosaic clones in both somatic tissues and the germline of Drosophila. Further, by developing a MAGIC toolkit for 1 chromosome arm, we demonstrate the method’s application in characterizing gene function in neural development and in generating fluorescently marked clones in wild-derived Drosophila strains. Eliminating the need to introduce recombinase-recognition sites into the genome, this simple and versatile system simplifies mosaic analysis in Drosophila and can in principle be applied in any organism that is compatible with CRISPR/Cas9.

Abstract:

Literary analysis tends to be conceptual and top-down driven. Data-driven analysis, although it belongs more to the domain of scientific method, can nevertheless sometimes reveal elements of narrative that conceptual readings may fall short of identifying. In critiques of Burnett's The Secret Garden, the children's return to health is generally understood to be the result of their interactions with nature. Some readings add the power of storytelling as a healing force in the novel. Burnett's concept of magic has tended to be treated with uneasy abstractions, and the influence of affect on health remains open for further investigation. This article bases its argument on data-driven analysis that charts how affective content in the novel occurs in conjunction with references to magic. It identifies the narrative significance of negative allusions to nature and how concepts of magic occur alongside representations of positive affect, and suggests that the magic of healing in The Secret Garden is not the transforming power of biological nature, nor the transforming power of storytelling, but the transforming power of surprise, wonder and happiness in conjunction with all these factors. Positive affect represents the essence of what Burnett means by magic.

Abstract:

Abstract Magical realism, which combines reality and fantasy, has become a trend in the world of literature, sparking a new way of thinking while producing a literary work. Studies on magical realism in literature are crucial as they could reflect the cultural and societal norms of the society featured. This article utilised the theory of magical realism by Faris (2004) to discuss the aspect of magical realism presented in the novel “Cebisan Mantera Terakhir” (2013) by Hasanuddin Md. Isa and published by the Malaysian Institute of Translation and Books (ITBM). The genre of the novel is classified as mystery or mysticism in the setting of a supernatural world where shamans practise “santau” (a type of black magic) in the Malay community. This qualitative study aims to identify and analyse the way the author depicts magical realism through content analysis of the text. Findings showed that the magic element in the form of “santau” was evident in the Malay community featured in the novel. The application of Faris‟s principles showed the clear connection between reality and the magical elements of “santau” which can be categorised into particular aspects of the text, such as objects, events, characters, beliefs and texts. Religion and beliefs are also inseparable from the Malay community, a factor portrayed as a connection between reality and the supernatural worlds. Keywords: magical realism, novel, Cebisan Mantera Terakhir, shaman, santau, black magic Abstrak Kemunculan aliran realisme magis dilihat melalui gabungan antara dua dunia, iaitu dunia nyata dan dunia fantasi yang membawa pemikiran baru dalam karya sastera. Penelitian terhadap realisme magis dalam suatu karya sastera sangat penting kerana pada dasarnya realisme magis merupakan satu cerminan atau refleksi yang nyata mengenai budaya dan sosial masyarakat. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan Teori Realisme Magis oleh Faris (2004) untuk memperlihatkan aspek realisme magis dalam novel Cebisan Mantera Terakhir (2013) karya Hasanudin Md Isa dan diterbitkan oleh Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia Berhad (ITBM). Novel ini memaparkan genre misteri atau mistik yang menerapkan elemen dunia ghaib dan golongan pawang yang terlibat dalam kegiatan santau dalam masyarakat Melayu. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti dan menganalisis aspek realisme magis dalam novel yang memperlihatkan bagaimana pengarang mengungkapkan elemen realisme magis dalam karya. Kajian ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan membuat analisis kandungan teks. Dapatan kajian ini jelas menggambarkan unsur magis yang dapat dikesan dalam amalan santau dengan berlatarkan masyarakat Melayu. Penggunaan prinsip-prinsip oleh Faris (2004) telah menonjolkan perhubungan yang jelas antara unsur realiti dan unsur magis dalam amalan santau itu dengan adanya pembahagian kepada kelompok-kelompok tertentu, iaitu objek, peristiwa, watak, kepercayaan, teks, dan sebagainya. Dalam masyarakat Melayu, konteks agama dan kepercayaan tidak dapat diasingkan dalam tradisinya yang turut dipaparkan sebagai satu perkaitan antara alam nyata dan alam ghaib.

Abstract:

This tentative study suggests Isabel Allende “Ines of my soul” and Gabriel Garcia Marquez “Love in the Time of Cholera” from magic realism point of view. Magic Realism is a Latin American literary movement which attempts to depict the reality in human’s mind. This literary movement is originated in the Latin American’s fiction in the middle of twentieth century. Isabel Allende, who is famous because in the most of her novels the magic realism is used, depicts the life of Ines Suarez, without whom the settlement of Chile could not be achieved, in the historical novel “Ines of my soul”.The father of magic realist writers, Gabriel Garcia Marquez in “Love in the time of cholera”, depicts the inside and outside worlds of man in this world, with the using of magic realism, he wants to show these opposites clearly.In this study, firstly, a model of analysis will be assumed by the features of magic realism. Next, Allende’s and Marquez’s novels will be read and analyzed within the magic realism pattern, the magic realism’s features will be traced in the novel. Finally, possible implications of both the model and the findings of the research for literary criticism and teaching novels of this kind will be discussed.

Abstract:

Sustainability studies have not been able to come up with a consensus conceptualization of “sustainability,” despite many attempts. This article asks what this conceptual confusion means. I do this through a (conceptual history) vertical analysis, and horizontal (discourse) analysis of the current use of the term. It finds that sustainability is a perfect fit for what Hupe and Pollit have called a “magic concept,” in that it is; broad, has a positive normative charge, imply consensus or at least the possibility of overcoming current conflicts, and has global marketability (2011: 643). This has both positive and negative effects: On the one hand, the popularity of the concept of sustainability has enabled an overarching discourse on the responsible use of natural resources. On the other hand, the concept is vulnerable to various strategic misuses, ranging from corporate greenwashing to Luddite passions. Based on a vertical analysis of the history of sustainability, this vagueness is not a coincidence: It was part of a political bargain at its birth, where environmental concerns were grafted onto an older discourse on “development” during the writing of the 1987 Brundtland report. Based on a horizontal analysis, this vagueness is now inherent to the concept and cannot be abandoned without losing the very magic qualities that make sustainability such a rallying point. This finding points to the conclusion that we should be cautious about how sustainability is wielded. Received: 03 February 2021Accepted: 01 March 2021

Abstract:

Just as magic was undermined in the Acts of the Apostles, its spread throughout the whole region of the Greco-Roman Region was also undermined. Although the magic episode occurred six times in the Acts of the Apostles, the demonstration of the geographical aspect of magic in the Acts of the Apostles was undermined. The prominent question regarding the presence of magic in the Greco-Roman reigns is how serious was magic during the Greco-Roman Era for Christianity so that the gospel could be proclaimed to the end of the world? This article will demonstrate the seriousness of magic to impede the spread of the gospel is obvious when analyzing the geographical spread of magic. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the magical context of each Roman city where magic was there. Moreover, this article also demonstrates the significance of the geographical aspect of magic for the spread of the Gospel. This geographical aspect will be argued within the context of the apologetic purpose of the Acts of the Apostles and the spread of the gospel to the end of the world to fulfill Jesus’ command to his disciples. This research will employ a literature method. The analysis will analyze the city of Samaria, the island of Cyprus, the strategic city of Ephesus, Philippi, and Malta. Application regarding the proclamation of the gospel for our contemporary world will be provided in the section of discussion and result before the conclusion.
