The Magic of Creation Philosophy: Building the 21st Spiritual Literacy through Seven Learning Pathways

— To address the potential disclosure pace of information technology and the reality of eroding Islamic character values, mastery of spiritual literacy is essential for students in the 21 st century. This study aims to find useful learning models that can be developing in the process of planting religious literacy, through optimizing the potential of nature brought by each. The study review used in this study is a philosophical paradigm, especially in the aspect of human creation philosophy. This research uses a qualitative methodology which studied through phenomenology studies at the level of primary education in formal schools that develop integrated or integrated Islamic education concepts. The research process begins with the data collection stage on a set of facts about the continuity of the learning process in the school environment, through a series of activities of observation, interviews, and also documentation of some predetermined samples. In the next stage, researchers conduct member checks on all data that has obtained from the field. In the final stage, the researcher conducts a data reduction process and presents it qualitatively in the form of a display table. The results of this study are in the form of recommendations for developing a useful spiritual literacy learning model for students in the primary education unit, which is then known as the 7M Learning Pathways.
Chunking and consolidation: A theoretical synthesis of semantic networks configuring in conditioning

Horizontal versus vertical associative memory concepts are denned. Vertical associative memory involves chunking: the specification of new (previously free) nodes to represent combinations of old (bound) nodes. Chunking is the basis of semantic memory, configuring in conditioning, and cognitive (as opposed to stimulus-response) learning. The cortex has the capacity for chunking, but the hippocampal (limbic) arousal system plays a critical role in this chunking process by differentiall y priming (partially activating) free, as opposed to bound, neurons. Binding a neuron produces negatively accelerated repression of its connections to the hippocampal arousal system, consolidating the memory by protecting the newly bound neuron from diffuse hippocampal input and thus retarding forgetting. Disruption of the hippocampal arousal system produces the amnesic syndrome of an inability to do new chunking (cognitive learning)—anterograde amnesia—and an inability to retrieve recently specified chunks—retrograde amnesia.
Does Other Comprehensive Income Volatility Influence Credit Risk and the Cost of Debt?

We examine the usefulness of other comprehensive income (OCI) to debt investors in nonfinancial companies. Motivated by Merton’s (1974) real options framework, we construct a measure of incremental OCI volatility, designed to capture the effect of OCI on overall firm asset volatility, which is a primary driver of credit risk in Merton’s (1974) model. We find that the volatility of incremental OCI influences the likelihood of default, credit ratings, and the cost of debt. Overall, our evidence suggests that creditors use information from OCI in their assessment of firm credit risk and in pricing debt contracts.
Are global brands trustworthy?

Purpose This paper aims to extend the understanding of how global brands can positively influence brand trust by introducing two new mediating variables – brand affect and brand innovativeness, and testing the moderating role of consumer ethnocentrism in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach In total, 250 participants completed self-administered online questionnaires in a cross-sectional study in France. Moderated mediation and floodlight analysis were performed. Findings Brand globalness is positively related to brand affect and this, in turn, is positively related to brand trust. The relationship between brand globalness and brand affect is weaker for ethnocentrist consumers. Brand globalness is positively related to brand innovativeness and this, in turn, is positively related to brand trust. The relationship between brand globalness and brand innovativeness is weaker for ethnocentrist consumers. Research limitations/implications A limited number of fast-food brands was analyzed. Future studies should replicate the research model using different product categories to generalize the findings. Practical implications This study offers new opportunities for managers concerned by the optimization of their global brands management. First, the results demonstrate the interest of managers to increase the emotional and affective aspects of their global brands to make them more trustable. Second, brand managers should also emphasize the innovative aspects of their global brand. Indeed, it is essential for practitioners not only to propose frequently new and innovative products to consumers but also to follow the latest trends in their market. The more managers provide new, useful solutions to fulfill consumers’ needs, the more consumers will trust those global brands. Originality/value The mediating role of brand affect and brand innovativeness in the relationship between brand globalness and brand trust gives new insights on an established relationship.
Attitude Towards Science Among Lower Secondary Students in Johor Bahru

The purpose of the study was to investigate attitude towards science among lower secondary students in Johor Bahru. The attitude in this study included interest, perception towards science and motivation. The study was carried out in Johor Bahru, Johor. The study adopted quantitative descriptive research designs and questionnaires were used in the study. A total of 370 respondents constituted the sample of the study, which included Form 2 lower secondary students from Johor Bahru. Data was analysed to obtain frequency, mean and standard deviation. The results revealed that laboratory activity, curiosity to discovery science and science as a tool to understand the world is able to improve science learning.

The implication was that school teachers could prepare more laboratory activities in science lesson. They also can stimulate students’ curiosity to discovery science and related science knowledge to the world so that students are interested and motivated to learn science. Future studies on this subject would be beneficial to understand more deeply the relationship between student personal factors with science achievement.
Developing a social understanding of autism through the 'social model'.

The aim of this study is to design an innovative research methodology to engage young people with a label of 'autism', in the research process. Advancement in the creation of a new and innovative research methodology made it possible for 11 young people to communicate with the researcher about what was important to them as they went through adolescence. 'Barriers' to inclusion in the research process were challenged by developing, practical ways to de-code and translate complex communication systems through the design of a 'communication profile'. Engaging young people with a label of 'autism' in a way that enables them to lead and direct the research process is new and challenges traditional research assumptions. It also challenges traditional research methods used with people with a label of Teaming difficulties' and questions the validity of 'researcher led' narrative. Utilising a more democratic process of 'inclusive' research methodology led to the findings that young people with a label of 'autism' are disabled by 'barriers' within wider society rather than by their perceived 'impairments'. The disabling barriers evident from this research were physical barriers (in relation the physical environment); support barriers (in relation to interpersonal relationships and support); and information barriers (the way information causes disabling barriers if it is not presented in ways that enables understanding). The findings significantly challenged current and past theories of autism and questioned the 'truth' in the 'knowledge' ascertained from positivist research methodologies. Listening to the collective 'voice' of young people with a label of 'autism', urges a move away from a reductionist explanation of 'impairment', to embrace the wider holistic explanation of autism as 'disability'. To advance the continuation of participation in research, this research study calls for a 'paradigm shift' in research methodology, to move away from 'positivist' research methodologies to advancing an 'emancipatory disability research' agenda. This research also calls for the inclusion of people with a label of 'autism' to become engaged in the wider 'social model of disability' debate and to become included as part of the wider disabled people's movement.
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design – What Does the Research Say?

Although object-oriented systems development (OOSD) has greatly matured over the past decade, the jury is still out on its ultimate impact on IS organizations. While OOSD is viewed by many as the best available solution to the ongoing “software crisis,” some caution that OOSD may be so complex that it will never become a mainstream methodology. Of particular importance to successful OOSD is object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD), the cornerstone of any serious systems development project. This paper reviews a wide range of empirical studies on OOAD involving human subjects, many with conflicting results. A critique of the research methodologies employed and a discussion of future needed research are presented.

Tapping Into Your Inner Superhero: Positive Interventions for At-Risk Youth Organizations

Childhood poverty has been linked with gaps in physical, emotional, and cognitive outcomes. Previous research sheds light on potential interventions for helping at-risk youth. We combine these findings with proven positive psychology interventions to create a curriculum for an organization serving at-risk youth in Trenton, New Jersey. The workshops are geared towards teaching components that enable lasting well-being using existing positive psychology frameworks, such as Martin Seligman’s PERMA. We also adapt lessons using VIA Character Strengths and resiliency factors for an adolescent population, and leverage behavioral modeling, self-agency, and environmental mastery to create sustainable programming. If successful, these interventions may teach us how positive psychology can enable flourishing in at-risk youth populations.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Real Wages in an Internationally Integrated Economy, Mexico 1998.1-2011.4

The objective of the current document is to analyze the macroeconomic determinants of real wages in Mexico, an economy with a high degree of integration with the US, under the Hypotheses of Rational Expectations, through the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). We estimated an ad hoc wage-setting equation, to the Mexican economy. The outcomes validate the existence of a Phillips curve and show that the unemployment is the most important variable in determining the real salary rates. However, productivity keeps a close relation with wages, while the inflation expectations play a secondary role in determining them.
Framing and sources: News on environmental justice in Bangladesh

With the rapid economic development and growing population, Bangladesh is one of the most environmentally vulnerable countries in the world. In this country, news reporting of environmental issues is vibrant and vigorous, although it attracts scant scholarly attention. In fact, environmental journalism in this South Asian country is one of the least studied topics in the area of journalism research. The current study attends to this country and examines news sources in two newspapers in Bangladesh, focusing on their coverage of river systems and climate change in 2009 and 2015. This study explores various sources, such as politicians, bureaucrats, activists, and citizens, and the patterns of emphasis in the news by using these sources to understand the framing of river degradation and climate change. The aim here is to illustrate the journalists’ influence in defining these environmental problems against various news sources and social actors. The qualitative analysis reveals an emphasis on political and bureaucratic sources in 2009 and on expert and citizen sources in 2015. Additionally, the analysis also demonstrates that the journalists—as actors in defining the reality—have exerted ‘influence’ on accentuating environmental concerns by shifting their source emphasis over time from politicians and bureaucrats to experts and citizens. Through this emphasis, they uphold the discourse of environmental justice in varied contexts.
Learning to recommend: Interactive learning with limited feedback

In many problems in online machine learning, we receive only partial feedback in each round. This setting is particularly important to model many real world problems including recommender systems, experimental design and dynamic pricing. Especially in cases where the set of actions available is large, there is also a need to model similarity in order to generalize well from sparse feedback. Existing approaches to many of these problems usually have little empirical evaluation or apply heuristics with no performance guarantees. In this thesis we develop principled techniques and algorithms to tackle the problem of online learning with partial feedback. We use ideas from Gaussian process optimization and Bayesian inference to design statistically efficient feedback sharing mechanisms. We propose computational and statistical techniques to speed up our algorithms and show that they scale easily to web scale data. We consider the problem of personalized online recommender systems and posit it as a contextual multi–arm bandit list selection problem. For this setting, we develop a general algorithm, CGPrank that effectively shares feedback across (1) list positions, (2) items, and (3) users. We then consider the problem of interactive set selection to maximize cumulative value. In this setting, we formalize a novel class of problems called AVID Adaptive Valuable Item Discovery. We consider settings where there is a need to diversify the set of selected items in the AVID setting. We also consider a generalization of AVID where there are item specific costs of selection. For these settings, we develop a family of algorithms, GP-Select that can generalize feedback efficiently using Gaussian processes and diversify using submodular maximization techniques. Finally, we introduce a new family of algorithms, BPM, for locally observable stochastic partial-monitoring problems. We incorporate prior information about the outcome distribution in the form of a confidence ellipsoid that allows us to effective share feedback among actions. We present two versions of BPM– BPM-TS and BPM-Least that differ in the action selection process in each iteration.

Gendered narratives of alcohol/drug consumption and violent nationalism in India

Alcoholism and drug addiction have come to be regarded as psychological and social disorders in recent times. The international diagnostic system ICD (International Classification of Diseases) provides a diagnosis for severe cases of alcoholism/addiction that meet clinical standards. However, the consumption of these substances even recreationally has been challenged. In the case of India the problem of alcohol and drug consumption is tied to nationalism and is gendered. My work in a rehabilitation clinic in India introduced me to learning about the non-clinical side of the condition. While literature from around the world supports the idea that female alcoholics and addicts in recovery are treated differently by medical staff, it does not look at how some of these narratives about the addict are sometimes tied to the prejudice against the substances themselves. This leads to the research question How are gendered narratives of alcohol and drug consumption represented in Indian society in general, and Bollywood movies in particular. The thesis also explores to what extent, if any, such representations relate to the rise of violent nationalism within Indian society. Tracing the history back to the disease model that has come to dominate our understanding of the condition, one can observe that these diagnostic criteria have been evolving, as has the social milieu that creates these breaches in normality. I am not looking at the clinical diagnosis itself but at the fears that surround addiction narratives. These narratives are to be found in everyday life, in cinema, in policy, in crime. The ‘addict’ is not only a clinical being but tells a different story which varies according to the identity that they embody. Women in India who transgress

Prevalence of Imposter Phenomenon among Saudi Female Faculty &its Roots During their Childhood: Qualitative Approach

This study explored a) the prevalence of IP among female faculty in Medina, b) family interactions and parents’ influence during faculty childhood. To that end, the paper investigates parenting styles, conflicts, familial and siblings' dynamics as possible variables, which may be predictive of IP. The sample comprises 60 female faculty in Medina, age between 24 to 48 years old, with a mean age of 34.29 years (SD= 7.36). The study employed the Arabic version of Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale and the Thematic Apperception Test. Quantitative and qualitative data research methods were used in this paper. Findings of the study’s QUAN constituent reveal moderate prevalence of IP among faculty in Medina; 23.33% of the sample seem to frequently have IP thoughts and feelings. Results of the QUAL part confirm that instructors’ family interactions and parents influence (parenting styles, conflicts, familial and siblings' dynamics with the subject) are predictive of IP.
FINANCIAL LITERACY – WHAT AND WHY SHOULD WE IMPROVE

Financial literacy has become a necessary skill for life and employment. This paper aims to introduce the research findings from a survey conducted in higher education institutions. 522 students participated in the poll. The main goal of this study was to analyze the financial literacy of students in Estonia. The standardized survey method of data collection was used and logit regression model was chosen to examine the impact of financial and non-financial variables on the financial literacy of respondents. The survey revealed that financial literacy of students is affected by gender, nationality, age and academic discipline. However, the level of education the students pursue, the work experience of the students and the level of education of the parents does not affect the level of financial literacy. The main conclusions of this study were that students' financial literacy level in Estonia was low and students’ interest for long-term planning was not very high. 51% of the respondents had low level of financial literacy, only 3.4% plan their financial affairs in advance on a several years basis and 55.9% have considered retirement funding. These results have important implication for policy makers and further researchers to develop better strategies for financial education.
