Analisis Pemikiran John Wesley Terhadap Kekudusan Hidup dan Predestinasi Berdasarkan Teologi Reformasi.
Authors: Sitindaon Riky Handoko , Lestari Putri Rosinta
Published: June 2024

The holiness of life is a continuation of the process of the person who is born again. A person who has been born again is a person who has been sanctified by God. In the process of sanctification, the sinful man has no share in sanctifying himself. The holiness of life and predestination are in the authority of God, therefore humans have no share in determining salvation and self-sanctification. Since then Allah has determined everything and no human being knows what Allah has determined. Therefore God offers Grace to all people through His Son, the Lord Jesus, so that everyone who receives it can be saved. Predestination is an understanding that makes it easier for everyone to understand God's sovereignty in choosing and saving. Holiness in life is God's process in the person who has been chosen and saved to always live a godly life. Both are God's works in human life and prove that God is sovereign.

Published: June 2024

O livro didático tem acompanhado o percurso do desenvolvimento da escolarização brasileira, pois, através das políticas públicas tornou-se uma ferramenta importante na educação dos alunos da rede pública de ensino. Um tema que pode ser debatido em sala de aula, pois, atinge a esfera educacional, social, ambiental e da saúde humana, é a Agroecologia. Entretanto, a Agroecologia é uma temática que grande parte dos alunos não têm contato nas aulas e nos livros didáticos, apesar das inovações curriculares. Nesse sentido, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar as coleções de livros didáticos de Biologia utilizados por sete escolas públicas estaduais localizadas no município de Santana/AP, verificando se as coleções abordam temáticas que permitam compreender a Agroecologia. Para a referida pesquisa, primeiramente foi feita a escolha dos temas relacionados a Agroecologia, baseada na leitura e análise de três documentos oficiais: Lei n°10.831/20003, o decreto n° 7.794/2012 e o Plano Nacional de Agroecologia e Produção Orgânica 2016-2019 (Planapo). Após as escolhas dos temas, eles foram classificados em não abordados, abordado superficialmente, abordado e abordado detalhadamente. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a maioria das temáticas relacionadas à Agroecologia foram classificadas como abordadas superficialmente em todas as coleções. Conclui-se que apesar das falhas encontradas em todas as coleções, com a utilização de outros materiais e professores capacitados, é possível debater sobre a Agroecologia em sala de aula. Os pontos negativos identificados são de suma importância para contribuir na melhoria da qualidade dos livros, contribuindo para a educação no Brasil.

Authors:   USA, Mungara Pranay
Published: June 2024

An organization’s ability to develop and execute strategy relies on its grasp of customer behavior, especially in today’s volatile business climate. Achieving market dominance relies on it. Consequently, customer centricity should permeate all aspect of a company’s operations. In order to assist businesses locate the “right” customers, retain and expand their customer base, and maintain growth and profitability, marketers must utilize big data through data driven marketing (DDM). Aiming to increase shareholder value through establishing “customer centricity” is the focus of this research, which also delves into DDM adoption techniques. The decision-making process has grown in significance with the advent of analytics and the raging digital era. Also essential to the process are intuition and judgment. Choosing the right thing to do isn’t something that can be done purely rationally. This study provides the answers to the research questions about how data analytics in one department affects that department and the company as a whole. To be more specific, it uses an information value chain technique to hypothesize the link between the marketing unit’s and the firm’s performance in terms of quality data and the sensing capabilities of IT- based analytics. Supporting the predictions, a survey of 346 companies found evidence of both direct and partially mediated effects on sensing capabilities, as well as partially mediated effects on quality data.

Authors: Hasan Mubeen Ul , Ceyhan Ayhan
Published: June 2024

Genom Çapında İlişkilendirme Çalışmaları (GWAS), çiftlik hayvanlarında üretim özellikleriyle ilişkili önemli Kantitatif Özellik Lokuslarını (QTL) belirlemek için önemli bir araç olduğunu kanıtlamıştır. GWAS, genomda bulunan Tek Nükleotid Polimorfizmini (SNP) tanımlamaya ve daha sonra tanımlanan SNP'leri ekonomik açıdan önemli özelliklerle ilişkilendirmeye yardımcı olur. Hayvan yetiştiriciliğinde süt üretimi, et üretimi, yağ ve protein içeriği, et kalitesi, yavru verimi, büyüme oranı, doğurganlık, yapağı kalitesi vb. ile ilgili birçok SNP daha önce tanımlanmıştır. Bu önemli SNP'ler koyun, sığır, keçi, tavuk, manda ve yak gibi ekonomik açıdan önemli hayvanlarda tanımlanmıştır. GWAS, bir DNA çipi yardımıyla büyük popülasyon genomlarının taranmasına ve hayvan ıslah programı için gerekli olan genomik bölgelerin belirlenmesine yardımcı olur. Belirlenen bu SNP'ler, bireysel hayvanlar arasındaki üretim farklılıklarını anlamak için bir popülasyondaki hayvanların genomları arasındaki fark hakkında bilgi sağlayabilir. İnsan nüfusundaki hızlı artış ve kişi başına düşen üretimin artması, hayvansal ürünlerin veriminde uygun bir artış gerektirmektedir. Bu önemli QTL'lerin tanımlanması, küresel gıda talebini karşılamak üzere hayvansal ürün veriminin artırılması için gereklidir. Bu derleme tavuk, sığır, keçi ve koyunlarda GWAS ile ilgili genomik çalışmalara odaklanacaktır. Ayrıca, bu çalışma GWAS'ın artan gıda talebini karşılamak için hayvanlarda önemli ekonomik özelliklerin üretim seviyesini artırmaya nasıl yardımcı olduğunu vurgulayacaktır.

Published: June 2024

Essential properties of the standart Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model are characterized in terms of the parameter, R_0, known as the basic reproduction number.In the present work, we investigate the dependency of R_0 on contact rates in two distinct cases, the 2009 A(H1N1) pandemic for the Netherlands and Istanbul, and the Covid-19 pandemic for the federal states of Germany. For the data from the 2009 A(H1N1) pandemic, encompassing seven European countries (including the Netherlands) and Istanbul, Turkey, we show that the basic reproduction number is proportional to the population density. We observe in particular that for the Netherlands and for Istanbul, high population densities may give rise to parameters that lie well outside the accepted ranges in the literature. In addition, for the data from the period between February and June 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic in the federal states of Germany, we observe that inhomogeneities in a population dominate the effects of population density, possibly due to the curfew and travel restriction practices in force during that period enhence the role of household dynamics. We also observe for the federal states of Germany for the Covid-19 pandemic that demographic factors exert a significant influence on the contact rate and consequently impact the determination of R_0.

Çimento bağlayıcılı malzemelerin gevrek ve çekme kuvvetlerine karşı dayanımının nispeten düşük olduğu bilinmektedir. Çimentolu malzemeler taşıyabileceği yük ve sönümleyebileceği enerji sınırına ulaştıkları zaman ani kırılmalar meydana gelir. Çimentolu harçların bu tür mekanik özellikler sergilemesi, kullanım amacına da bağlı olarak istenmeyen bir durum olarak değerlendirilebilmektedir. Çimento bağlayıcılı ürünlerde çekme yüklerini daha fazla karşılatabilmek, süneklik kazandırabilmek ve daha fazla enerji sönümletebilmek amacıyla farklı elyaf türleri ürün karışım tasarımında yer bulabilmektedir. Bu deneysel çalışmanın amacı, rüzgâr türbin kanadı üretiminde oluşan kirlenmemiş/bozulmamış kumaş atık/artıkların fiziksel geri dönüşüm ile farklı boyutlarda elde edilen tekstil tipi cam elyafların çimentolu harçlarda değerlendirilebilmesidir. Bu bağlamda, fiziksel geri dönüştürülmüş tekstil tipi cam elyaflar 3, 6, 12 ve 14 mm uzunlukta olacak şekilde boyutlandırılmış ve her biri ayrı ayrı ağırlıkça %0, %0,25, %0,50, %0,75, %1,00, %1,25 ve %1,50 oranlarında çimento harçlarında kullanılmıştır. Tüm test örneklerinin yayılma çapı, basınç dayanımı ve eğilmede çekme dayanımı deneysel olarak test edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, beklendiği gibi, lif boyu ve lif miktarı yayılma değerlerini azaltan bir faktör olarak tespit edilmiştir. Eğilmede çekme dayanım sonuçlarına göre bu lifler arasından optimum dayanım sonucunu veren lif uzunluğunun 6 mm olduğu görülmüştür. Buna karşın, lif uzunluğu ve kullanım miktarının basınç dayanımını düşürebilen bir etki sergileyebileceği gözlemlenmiştir.

In the context of many internationally unpredictable fluctuations, hostile forces have been causing religious life in Vietnam to suffer many negative impacts. Many subjects have taken advantage of loopholes in state management of religion to distort Vietnam’s policies, causing internal conflicts. In many cases, a very small incident or a normal conflict in religion that can be exaggerated, distorted, and perverted to become serious; a religious incident in an area or locality that can easily be amplified into an international issue; an event that is only a phenomenon, but can be perverted to become a nature; an issue that is partial, but can easily turn into a whole; a story that is very ordinary, but can be turned into a complicated one. In the article, the author analyzes some of the main impacts of religion on secular life in Vietnam today, and some religious security trends in the coming time.

Authors: Apriyani Sinta
Published: June 2024

Political activism, which cares about the environment and is embodied in the vision, mission, and programs of government and political action, must fight for the future. The form of political concern for the environment, previously referred to as environmental policy in Indonesia, has been implemented through the submission of petitions by Indonesian environmental NGOs to pay attention to ecological aspects, lawsuits over policies, and mass mobilization actions. A survey is conducted in the study. The data used to use other data to create a form of environmental and political awareness, or what is then known as "green policy" in Indonesia, is now being used by some NGOs in Indonesia to file petitions, legal procedures on regulations, and large-scale mobilization factors to draw attention to environmental aspects. The literature was used in the study. The data comes from other documents, regulations, and books. The community and the government feel the problem of this justice, which supports what is happening on social media in Indonesia. The current reality of the "green" political narrative, which some NGOs can appreciate, is not fully understood and is on the list. The existence of green cities in Indonesia is vital and should be held accountable by the government for places in Indonesia.

Knowledge of Biology is important, not only for understanding our lives, but also for pursuing further studies in related disciplines like medicine and agriculture. Performance in the subject in Kenya public secondary schools has been low over the years and this has prompted studies into some of the predicting factors for this biology performance. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between parental involvement and academic performance in biology in public secondary schools in Kilifi County, Kenya. Cognitive Theory of Development by Jean Piaget (1936) and the Framework of Parental involvement by Norman Epstein (2002) were used to inform the study. Descriptive and correlational designs were used where a sample of 322 participants were selected from a population of 1535 students and teachers. Stratified random, simple random, Purposive sampling was used to select Biology teachers, form three class as well as the 10 public secondary schools. A sample of 306 form three students and 16 Biology teachers was then selected from the target population. Data was collected from students and teachers using the parental involvement tool and a teacher questionnaire. The study incorporated content validity which was established through expert opinion. Instrument reliability was achieved using split half method where a Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.7 was realized. Data from students Biology performance were obtained through document analysis. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 was used. Descriptive statistics of frequencies, mean and standard deviation were used and inferential statistics of Pearson moment correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Parental involvement was found to be significantly correlated with academic performance in biology. There was need to maintain parental support to enhance student performance. Studies using other designs, contexts and general learner performance may shed more light into the subject.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of teachers’ temperament and method of teaching on the relationship between teacher-student relationships and learning engagement of students of Taraba State University, Jalingo. Design/Approach/Method The study adopted a cross-sectional survey of 400 undergraduate students. Utilising the Hayes Process macro, we tested the moderating impact of teacher temperament on the relationship between teacher-student relationships and learning engagement. Also, we tested the mediating impact of teaching methods on teacher-student relationships and learning engagement. Findings Based on the analyses, the study found that teachers’ temperament significantly moderates the impact of teacher-student relationships on learning engagement such that low and average teachers’ temperament strengthens the positive impact of teacher-student relationships on learning engagement. Also, the study found that teacher-student relationships have a significant impact on learning engagement. But teacher-student relationships have no significant impact on teaching methods. Originality/Value This is one of a few studies on the relationships between teachers’ temperament, teacher-student relationships, teaching methods and the impact on learning engagement in Taraba State University. It provides sound basis for educational managers and policy makers to provide quality teacher education in university setting.

MİMARLIK VE KENT: NESNELERARASI BİR ESTETİK KARŞILAŞMA
Authors: Erkan Kaya Halide İrem , Uluoğlu Belkıs
Published: June 2024

Mimarlık ve kent ilişkisi ağırlıklı olarak kent üzerinden okunmuş ve bu çerçevede kentin katmanlı ve karmaşık ilişki ağlarıyla kurulu yapısı çözümlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu yaklaşım, mimarlık ve kent arasındaki karşılıklı etkileşimin potansiyelini yeterince ortaya koyamamakta ve kentteki mimarlığın disiplin olarak boşluğunun artmasına neden olmaktadır. Mimarlık ve kent arasındaki karşılıklı etkileşim, birbirlerini nasıl etkilediklerini ve nasıl evrildiklerini anlamamızı sağlayan bir araştırma alanı sunar. Bu çalışma mimarlık nesnesinin bir büyük nesne olarak kentle nasıl karşılaştıkları ve bu karşılaşmalarda mimarlığın rolünün nasıl tanımlandığı sorusu etrafında şekillenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, mimarlık ve kentin karşılıklı ilişkisi üzerine kurulu yeni bir tartışma başlatarak kenti mimarlık bağlamında düşünmek için zemin oluşturmaktır. Bu doğrultuda Graham Harman’ın Nesne Yönelimli Ontolojisi’nde tanımlanan, nesnelerarası ilişkide gerçekleşen bilişsel bir etkinlik olarak estetik karşılaşma, mimarlık ve kent karşılaşmalarını çözümlemek için kuramsal model olarak temel alınır. Harman’ın özerk nesne anlayışını takip ederek, mimarlık ve kentin bağımsız varlık alanları içinde, nitelikleri aracılığıyla aralarında gerçekleşen karşılaşmalara odaklanılmıştır. Mimarlık literatüründe yer alan ve kenti ele alan metinler bilişsel bir sürecin ürünü olup estetik karşılaşmanın kendisi olarak tanımlanmıştır. Eisenman’ın “The City of Artificial Excavation” ve Koolhaas’ın “Bigness, or the problem of Large” metni örneklem alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Metinlerde yer alan mimarlık ve kentin niteliklerini tanımlayan ifadeler çözümlenerek, birbirleri üzerindeki etkisi ortaya çıkarılmış böylece estetik karşılaşmanın nasıl gerçekleştiği sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Sonuç olarak kenti tanımlayan niteliklerin mimarlık içinde yeniden değerlendirilerek bir tasarım stratejisine dönüştürülmesiyle mimarlığın kentin karmaşık yapısının içinde kendisini var edebileceği, bir yandan da kendi nitelikleri ile kenti kuran ve şekillendiren parametrelerden biri olarak varlık gösterebileceği ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
A Forgotten Settlement on the Byzantine Roads: Korniaspa
Authors: Serdar Dinçer Pınar , Doğandor Emre
Published: June 2024

The geographical location of Korniaspa, whose history dates to the Roman period, remains a mystery in terms of historical geography in Byzantine Anatolia. Previous attempts to locate Korniaspa have been limited by subjective assumptions and the need for more specific information, making it challenging to pinpoint its exact location. However, historical records indicate that Korniaspa was situated along the border of Cappadocia and Galatia and along the main road connecting Tavium to Sebasteia. Although Byzantine remains were found during the surveys in the neighbourhood, they are thought to have come from Tavium, where extensive excavations have not yet been conducted. Concerning Korniaspa, the available sources say that the birthplace of the Arian bishop Eunomios was in the Korniaspa region. At the same time, Korniaspa appears only once in inscriptional records, on the back of a votive stone in a second early 3rd-AD-dated graveyard in Phrygia, Dorylaion. Although the authenticity of this reference to Korniaspa is disputed, most researchers agree that it refers to Korniaspa.
This article examines the possible Celtic origin of the name Korniaspa and its connection to the Celtic past of the region. It also explains whether Korniaspa was part of Galatia, as Basil claimed, and the European links to Korniaspa. This study highlights the need to consider all available evidence and eliminate subjective assumptions to arrive at the most accurate understanding of Korniaspa's location
