Authors: Parwita I Gusti Lanang Made , Dharma I G B Sila , Yekti Mawiti Infantri , Suryantara I Putu Gustave , Sutapa I Ketut
Published: December 2022

The need for clean water is generally divided into two groups, namely domestic water needs and non-domestic water needs. Non-domestic water needs are water needs other than for household purposes such as for education, industry, tourism, social and others. In general, the determination of non-domestic water demand is estimated to be around 20-25% of the total domestic water demand. Badung Regency has characteristics as the main tourist area in Bali as evidenced by the existence of 33 tourist destinations, both cultural tourism, natural tourism, artificial tourism and youth tourism. With these characteristics, this study emphasizes the analysis of non-domestic water needs in the tourism sector. The research was conducted by analyzing various factors related to the need for clean water in the tourism sector such as hotel accommodation, tourism support facilities and the number of tourism objects available. The results of this analysis are compared with domestic water needs according to the existing population. The analysis shows that non-domestic water demand for tourism accommodation (hotels, villas and condominium hotels) is 186.76 liters / second, for tourism objects is 7.64 liters / second, restaurants and bars is 24.21 liters / second.

Published: December 2022

The study aimed to assess Job Satisfaction (JS) among teaching staff in private vocational and technical education institutions in Mount Lebanon, Lebanon. The study is descriptive and analytic, using a sample of 200 teachers from 13 schools and institutes chosen according to the coordinated random method. A questionnaire created and validated by Warr, Cook, and Wall is adopted to measure job satisfaction. This questionnaire includes personal information like job status, educational level, number of years of work, monthly income, age, gender, and social status. Using a seven-level Likert scale, it also contains 15 items to measure various dimensions of job satisfaction (internal and external factors). Results show a low overall mean of 4.69 out of 7 with a standard deviation of 1.15 for job satisfaction, based on data analysis using the SPSS program. Also, the majority of respondents are not satisfied with the wage received (the overall mean of job satisfaction=3.83, with a standard deviation of 2.00); there is a low level of JS among teachers concerning the degree of job security (mean=4.13 with a standard deviation of 1.91); there are no statistically significant differences in JS among teachers due to demographics. Capitalizing on the results, recommendations are made.

Published: December 2022

El Complejo Plutónico de La Paz (CPLP) está ubicado al sur de la península de Baja California. En este complejo se ha reportado la presencia de rocas calcosilicatadas asociadas a otras rocas metamórficas e intrusivas. El presente estudio fue enfocado al estudio de las rocas calcosilicatadas y rocas adyacentes que afloran en el arroyo El Mezquite, conformadas por una alternancia de: mármol, mármol impuro, rocas calcosilicatadas y gneis anfibolítico, que se extienden por más de dos kilómetros y agrupadas como una unidad informal llamada calcosilicatos El Mezquite. Las relaciones de campo junto con las características megascópicas y microscópicas, indican que las rocas metasedimentarias representan parte de un protolito calcáreo formado en un ambiente marino con mezcla de sedimentos siliciclásticos y volcaniclásticos, los cuales fueron metamorfizados posteriormente. En el arroyo El Mezquite además afloran rocas ígneas sin deformación de composición tonalítica así como gneis anfibolítico, ortogneis y migmatitas, estas últimas en el contacto entre los intrusivos sin deformación y las rocas calcosilicatadas. Las litologías y sus relaciones de campo evidencian dos eventos metamórficos, uno regional representado por el gneis anfibolítico y el ortogneis y otro de contacto, representado por las migmatitas. La tonalita y el gneis anfibolítico fueron fechados por el método de U-Pb en zircones y arrojaron edades de 85.4 ± 0.7 Ma y 116 ± 1.5 Ma, respectivamente, indicando dos eventos magmáticos. La primera edad la interpretamos indirectamente como la edad máxima del metamorfismo de contacto, mientras que, por las relaciones de campo, la edad de 116 ± 1.5 Ma permite inferir la edad mínima del depósito e indirectamente la edad máxima del metamorfismo regional. También se obtuvieron datos termométricos de la tonalita y del gneis anfibolítico a partir del Ti en zircón, obteniendo 636 ± 33 °C y 701 ± 42 °C, respectivamente. La presencia de minerales como diópsido, wollastonita y trazas de rutilo, indican temperaturas potencialmente mayores a 700 °C para el metamorfismo regional lo cual alcanzó facies de anfibolita. Las rocas calcosilicatadas se depositaron en la zona de transición entre la cuenca profunda y la plataforma continental, posteriormente afectadas por metamorfismo regional (<116 Ma) y un metamorfismo de contacto sobreimpreso (<85 Ma).
Cuerpo atlético, deporte y normativas de género
Authors:   CIEG-UNAM, Ciccia Lucía Gabriela
Published: December 2022

A partir de un enfoque interdisciplinar, la autora presenta ciertas herramientas de la Epistemología Feminista para reinterpretar, desde una lectura molecular de los cuerpos que considera la plasticidad y los procesos epigenéticos, la actual distribución binaria del desempeño atlético. De esta manera, muestra la imposibilidad de caracterizar como naturales las diferencias que hoy se advierten entre cis varones y cis mujeres. En su lugar propone que las normativas de género son techos simbólicos para el desarrollo del cuerpo atlético y las habilidades deportivas, techos que se expresan biológicamente y que pueden dar cuenta de dichas diferencias de manera más adecuada en relación con la lectura esencialista androcéntrica que asume el sexo como la causa de estas.
El gobierno de la violencia sexual. Feminismos y políticas neoliberales en la Ciudad de México
Authors:   CIEG-UNAM, Núñez Rebolledo Lucía , Salgado Méndez Rosa Elvira , Barreiro Mauricio José , Viveros González Thania Patricia
Published: December 2022

En el contexto económico, político y social de consolidación neoliberal de finales de la década de 1980 e inicios de 1990, emergieron en México un importante número de instituciones de gobierno con el objetivo de prevenir, atender y sancionar la violencia sexual perpetrada, sobre todo, por hombres contra mujeres y niñas. En este ensayo, las autoras problematizan la emergencia de dichas instituciones y destacan la coincidencia de que se hayan concretado, en ese contexto,  diversas reformas punitivas al tiempo de que se crearon las primeras agencias especializadas en delitos sexuales. A través de la consulta de fuentes primarias y secundarias, así como de entrevistas a feministas, se narra brevemente la dinámica de los feminismos en la Ciudad de México y el proceso de gubernamentalización de la atención a las mujeres violadas, el cual se consolidó con la creación de agencias especializadas ubicadas en el ámbito de procuración de justicia.
THE UNIVERSE IN WORDS: ASTRONOMY FOR ALL THROUGH AUDIO DESCRIPTION WITHIN THE OUTREACH PROJECT ASTROACCESIBLE
Authors: Pérez-Montero E. , Barnés-Castaño C. , García Gómez-Caro E. J.
Published: December 2022

ASTROACCESIBLE is an outreach project hosted by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC) and leaded by a blind astronomer. It is aimed at the teaching and popularisation of astronomy and astrophysics among all people regardless of their abilities using a wide range of inclusive resources. Audio description is one of the most extended inclusive resources for making films and artworks accessible for blind and partially sighted people. However, its potential for the description of astronomical images has not been widely exploited. In this contribution, we introduce The Universe in words, a series of videos describing images of some of the most popular objects in the Messier catalogue. These audio descriptions do not only have a prominent inclusive aspect, but also imply a better and deeper understanding of the represented objects for everybody. The resulting videos can also be used as a complement to other resources for in-person activities, such as sonifications or tactile models of the same or similar astronomical objects.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: Agriculture is the majority source of income for many people not just in the Indian subcontinent but around the world and hence forms the backbone of the economy. Present-day difficulties like unpredictability in weather conditions, water scarcity, and volatility due to demand- supply fluctuations create the need for the farmer to be equipped with modern day techniques. More specifically, topics like less yield of crops due to unpredictable climate, faulty irrigation resources, and soil fertility level depletions needto be communicated. Hence there is a requirement to modify the abundant agriculture data into modern day technologies and make them conveniently accessible to farmers. A technique that can be implemented in crop yield predictionis Machine learning. Numerous machine learning techniqueslike regression, clustering, classification and prediction can be employed in crop yield forecasting. Algorithms like Naïve Bayes, support vector machines, decision trees, linear and logistic regression, and artificial neural networks can be employed in the prediction. The wide array of available algorithms poses a selection dilemma with reference to the selected crop. The purpose of this study is to investigate how different machine learning algorithms may be used to forecast agricultural production and present an approach in the context of big data computing for crop yield prediction and fertilizer recommendation using machine learning techniques
Sentiment Analysis of IMDb Movie Reviews
Authors: Ajmera Avi
Published: December 2022

Abstract: Sentiment analysis is an artificial intelligence branch that focuses on expressing human emotions and opinions in the sense of data. We try to focus on our sentiment analysis work on the Stanford University-provided IMDB movie review database in this post. We look at the expression of emotions to determine whether a movie review is positive or negative, then standardize and use these features to train multiple label classifiers to identify movie reviews on the right label. Since there were no solid framework structures in a study of random jargon movies, a standardized N-gram approach was used. In addition, a comparison of the various categories' methods was conducted in order to determine the best classifier for our domain query. Our process, which employs separation techniques, has an accuracy of 83 percent.

Abstract: Motion detection is a widely used tool in computing applications. Modern day techniques have explored this paradigm vastly, and its applications are equally widespread. Proximity detection is a popular mean of measuring motion. The paradigm of proximity detection is of high importance today. From vehicle collisions, to aided systems, it is used everywhere. Alternatively, in video recognition, changes in coordinates of image framerates can be used to determine on screen motion. This can be implemented using various software
The Use of Extended Reality and Computer Vision to Aid Reminiscence Therapy in Persons with Dementia
Authors: Bukhariya Unnati , Choudhary Vikas , Rairikar Aniruddha
Published: December 2022

Abstract: It is estimated that, in 2019, 55.2 million people worldwide were living with dementia, a number that, when applied to the UN population forecast and assuming no change in age-specific prevalence rates, is slated to increase to 78 million people by 2030 and 139 million people who have dementia by 2050 [1]. While WHO acknowledges that, due to multiple factors, calculating the exact economic cost of dementia is not possible, it estimates the global cost of dementia in 2019 to be USD 1.3 Trillion, which is expected to increase to USD 1.7 Trillion by 2030 and $2.8 Trillion by 2050 [1]. These statistics indicate the necessity to develop more accessible and affordable ways to improve the quality of life of people who have dementia and help them maintain autonomy for longer to minimise the economic and social costs associated with it. Reminiscence therapy, the use of life histories – written, oral, or both – to improve psychological well-being [2], is a relatively inexpensive approach to helping elderly people cope with depression and dementia. The objective of this paper is to review past research on how Extended Reality technologies (Virtual and Augmented) have been used in the treatment of dementia and, in the end, suggest a way to aid Reminiscence therapy by leveraging the advancements in the field of Extended Reality and real-time Computer Vision.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: Cotton is the most valuable agricultural product in the world. Annual cotton production is 27 million tons. The three major producers—India, China, and the United States—accounted for more than half of global output. Due to its tropical climate cultivation, Effective remedies are needed since it is the target of a wide range of agricultural pests and illnesses. Additionally, it might be challenging for the producer to correctly identify a lesion since the signs of the major pests and illnesses cannot be distinguished in the early stages. The current research offers a solution based on artificial intelligence and machine learning in the screening of cotton leaves, which makes it possible to monitor the health of the cotton crop and make better management decisions

REALISTIC MATHEMATIC EDUCATION ON HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILL MATHEMATICS OF STUDENTS
Authors: Ariati Chelsi , Juandi Dadang
Published: December 2022

The literature on the effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on high-order thinking skills (HOTS) students is massive. There is a diversity of research results. So a systematic and comprehensive review is needed to justify and describe its effect, which includes problem-solving, critical, creative, and reasoning abilities. This research used a systematic literature review (SLR) technique to search the Semantic Scholar, ERIC, Google Scholar database, and direct URLs from 2013 to 2022, yielding 49 studies that matched the inclusion criteria. Every paper was recorded and then categorized for analysis based on the title, education level, year of publication, sample size, and kind of HOTS. The findings indicated that RME positively impacted students' HOTS when learning activities were applied with student-centered, contextual problems, and the teacher was the facilitator. Working together in small groups allowed students to carry out individual exploration activities, reconstruct concepts from their own experiences, and connect these concepts to the mathematical ideas studied. RME thus becomes appropriate for use in achieving learning's aims and urgency, particularly in raising students' mathematical HOTS. The study's findings also offer information on the trends and heterogeneity of research into applying RME on mathematical HOTS in Indonesia. It is thus anticipated that it will serve as a recommendation and a focus for further study.
Development and Characterization of Tramadol Hydrochloride Rectal Suppository
Authors: Dangi Nanci , Jain Sunil K. , Jain Vivek , Jain Rupesh K. , Khangar Pushpendra Kumar
Published: December 2022

Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic drug. Rectal administration of tramadol is useful in the treatment of post-operative pain or malignant pain in cases where it cannot be administered orally. Rectal suppositories of tramadol hydrochloride were prepared using different bases and polymers and the effect of different additives on in vitro release of tramadol hydrochloride was studied. The agar-based suppositories were non-disintegrating/non-dissolving. All the prepared suppositories were evaluated for various physical parameters like weight variation, drug content and hardness. In vitro release study was performed by USP type I apparatus. Addition of 10% w/w propylene glycol accelerates the release of tramadol hydrochloride significantly (P<0.05) as in A1, which may be due to decrease in the gel matrix of agar. In formulation A2, A3 Addition of HPMC (1%, 3% w/w) and in formulation A3 and A4 addition of PVP (1%, 3% w/w) retards the release significantly (P<0.05), which may be due to increase in the viscosity and gel strength of the polymer matrix. Hence, PVP, HPMC and similar polymers in higher concentration can be used to formulate sustained released suppositories. The sustained release suppositories can be prepared by addition of PVP, HPMC in agar-based suppositories.

Optimum Coefficients Of Discrete Orthogonal Tchebichef Moment Transform To Improve The Performance Of Image Compression
Authors: Begum A.H.Ragamathunisa , Manimegalai D. , Abudhahir A.
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes an improved image compression scheme which utilizes optimum coefficients of discrete orthogonal Tchebichef moment transform. In the conventional moments-based-compression techniques, after making a trade-off between the conflicting factors, namely the quality of the reconstructed image and the compression ratio, the moments are chosen sequentially up to the desired order for reconstruction. But, as far as this proposed method is concerned, for reconstruction, it utilizes the optimally selected Tchebichef Moment Transform coefficients that yield better quality output image with a reasonable peak-signal-to-noise ratio for a desired value of compression ratio. Standard test images of different classes with various sizes (128x128, 256x256, 512x512 and 1024x1024) have been subjected to the proposed compression method for the block sizes 4x4 and 8x8 in order to assess its performance. The standard performance measures such as compression ratio, mean square error and peak-signal-to-noise ratio are considered in this study. The results reveal that the proposed method vis-Ã -vis the task of compression performs invariably well for the different classes of input images of above-mentioned sizes.

COVID, Campus, Cameras, Communication, and Connection
Authors: Price Jasmine , Lanclos Donna , Phipps Lawrie
Published: December 2022

This article discusses insights from two separate and linked projects. A staff-facing project at a UK university in the English Midlands, took place in late Spring 2020. We heard at that time a concern from staff for students who were not in touch and were not “visible” due to their absence from digital places as well as the more obvious physical ones. Staff also discussed their sense that, from the students who were in contact, there were a lot more emails and one-on-one discussions about logistics and worries. In Spring 2021, at a university in the north of England, we conducted a student-facing project intended to discover their lived experience of the 2020-21 academic year, as well as surface insights into what the phrase “back to campus” might mean for these students. Students struggled with what their lecturers were asking in terms of visibility (especially cameras). Students were also concerned about building and maintaining connections. The desire for effective and transparent communication in a time of crisis was also expressed. We juxtapose the rhetoric about “back to campus” and assumptions embedded in policies around cameras and digital participation with the expressed desires of students for human relationships and care in a time of uncertainty and upheaval. We end with implications for institutions going forward, with the certainty that this will not be the last time, as a sector, when we have to rely primarily on digital places and platforms for the work of the University.
A regulatory arbitrage game: Off-balance-sheet leverage and financial fragility
Authors:   University of Piraeus, Voliotis Dimitris
Published: December 2022

This study examines a simple banking system in a game-theoretic framework wherein banks act as self-interested agents to maximize leverage at the expense of overall financial stability. The resultant strategic inefficiency raises concerns about how banks manage the "financial stability" good, which is appropriated into a "tragedy of the commons." We conceptualize the inefficiency using the price of anarchy introduced by Koutsoupias & Papadimitriou (2009). We seek the optimal regulatory framework that minimizes the price of anarchy or the degree of financial fragility.
Another Participant in the Discussion: Who and Why
Authors: Culp John
Published: December 2022

Adding additional positions to the discussion between process and evangelical theologians may stimulate developments within each tradition. Postmodern philosophy relates to both evangelicals and process thinkers while differing with each of them. Comparing the thought of a representative from each group brings recognition of the agreement that absolute knowledge is not available to humans but significant differences arise about what is known about God. Comparison also shows a common identification of newness or novelty with God. However, disagreement arises about the nature of divine agency. Process theologians are challenged to draw upon the resources of process theology to show more clearly how God’s influence, as pervasive and continuing, supports hope. Evangelical theologians are challenged to relate divine and human action more consistently. Both evangelical and process theologians are encouraged to recognize the limitation of their own conceptual structures.
Leadership as Relational Process
Authors: Wood Martin , Dibben Mark
Published: December 2022

Various scholars defend the idea that leadership is something accomplished between the leader and the led, rather than something that coincides with the role of an individual manager. Even so, we argue that shared leadership implies a relational ontology grasping leadership as an ever-changing series of events that is thoroughly processual in nature. Supplementing existing analyses and expanding the possibilities for relational leadership research, we propose a view from the perspective of process philosophy, in which relations determine individual leaders and followers, and not the reverse. The process perspective invites us to see and to feel leadership subjectively within ourselves, instead of simply looking at it objectively from the outside. Understanding leadership in this way, as an internally related complex occasion of experience, has implications for expanding the possibilities for what is known in management as relational leadership research.
The Return of Radical Theology: A Critical Examination of Peterson and Zbaraschuk, eds., Resurrecting the Death of God
Authors: Shields George
Published: December 2022

This review article critically examines the anthology Resurrecting the Death of God: The Origins, Influence, and Return of Radical Theology, edited by Daniel Peterson and G. Michael Zbaraschuk (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2014). After making brief but largely appreciative summary comments on a number of essays, the article focuses attention on contributions by John Cobb on the theology of Altizer, John Roth on Levinas, and J. W. Robbins on the politics of de Tocqueville’s concept of God. Suggestions are provided for inclusion of a wider swath of theologies that might be considered "radical," and the argument is made for more dialectical exchange, including a revisitation of the basic rationale behind Tillich’s notion of the power of being and the provision of outlines of a cumulative or "global" abductive argument for the existence of cosmic mind that is informed by recent arguments of Thomas Nagel as well as historical forms of process natural theology, especially as propounded by Hartshorne.
Grafting Metaphysics: How Transpersonal Agroecology Bears Fruit with Process Metaphysics as its Root
Authors: Cox Travis
Published: December 2022

Transpersonal agroecology (TPAE) is a theory, derived from the collective leanings of various important thinkers and practitioners in the field of alternative agriculture over the last century, which sees the mindset of the farmer to be just as important as his or her agricultural practices. However, these accumulated intuitions do not provide a coherent metaphysics within which to practice TPAE. Process metaphysics provides such a coherent framework for TPAE and for sustainable agriculture.
Architectonic and Artisanal: A. N. Whitehead and John Milbank on God and Creativity
Authors: Mir Amene
Published: December 2022

John Milbank’s theology argues for a return to the participatory ontology of the pre-moderns in which actuality is understood as rooted in intimate relation to the divine. He rejects modernity’s notion that finite reality can be understood as occupying its own space independent of God. In this context he develops the notion of finite "making" as coincident with the finite realization of the divine. This paper develops how the notion of "coincidence" can be applied to Whitehead’s thought, allowing for an identification of God with creativity and finite "making," seeking to provide a more theologically satisfying account of God’s relation to creativity.

Inclusive Ends, Dominant Ends, and Politics: Was St. Ignatius Irrational?
Authors: Dombrowski Daniel
Published: December 2022

I have argued elsewhere that the overall method that is required in liberal political philosophy is that of reflective equilibrium and that this method can be best understood in processual terms. In the present article I try to show how neoclassical (and other) theists can bring their convictions to bear in a politically liberal society, within the confines of this method, in a rational (rather than irrational or mad) manner.
Peace Talk: Or, The Unspeakable Conviviality of Becoming
Authors: Keller Catherine
Published: December 2022

This essay unfolds within the wider theological project of an apophatic relationalism. The moral intention of political theology, in its progressive hope, takes refuge here in the apophatic folds of a Cusan cosmological mysticism that, in turn, lends depth to a polyvocal Whiteheadian theology. In this paper hope finds itself tangled in the question of religio-political peace, vis-à-vis a specific thousand-year loop of Western history. In the knotty present, this cosmopolitics—with an eye to each new wave of Islamophobia—lives with uncertainty as to the realism of its pluralistically complicated peace-talk. Partners in the pilgrimage of this paper include (with Whitehead) certain political theorists who read him, especially William Connolly and Paulina Ochoa, along with William Cavanaugh, Enrique Dussel, and Eduourd Glissant, who do not. The aim will be to convert—at the level of symbolic resonance at least—what I call the crusader peace complex into the complex conviviality of peace. The pulses of this transdisciplinary exercise (an effort in self education rather than specialization) will proceed through eight theopolitical vignettes.
Is Personal Identity Something That Does Not Matter?: An Inquiry into Derek Parfit and Alfred N. Whitehead
Authors: Mingarelli Eleonora
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the present article is to disentangle both Parfit’s and Whitehead’s views on personal identity. Issues regarding what it means to be a singular individual, how a person can remain the same over time, and what makes an individual an original being with specific characteristics will be examined.
Physics and Philosophy in Whitehead
Authors: Athearn Daniel
Published: December 2022

An essay first published in 1917 presents key insights and ideas that shaped Whitehead’s physics and metaphysics. It also displays his apparently lifelong view that science cut off from philosophy (which for him meant, or at some point led to, metaphysics) will fall short in its vital mission of explaining facts and phenomena—a view dissenting sharply from reigning doctrines of the modern era. His largely implicit criticism of the modern assumption that science as such can do without philosophy merits clarification and evaluation.
Wittgenstein and Whitehead Revisited
Authors: McDonough Richard
Published: December 2022

In this article I criticize the treatment of the relationship between Wittgenstein and Whitehead asserted by Jerry Gill in a 2014 article in Process Studies. I argue that Wittgenstein’s later philosophy is much more sympathetic to Whitehead’s view than Gill thinks.
Animals, Ethics, and Process Thought: Hierarchy without Anthroparchy (A Response to Combs, Donaldson, and Sinclair)
Authors: Henning Brian G.
Published: December 2022

In the present article the other articles in this Special Focus section on Process Thought and Animals are criticized. Both the strengths and weaknesses of the articles by Combs, Donaldson, and Sinclair are detailed. Whitehead’s non-invidious hierarchy is defended.
The Metaphysics of Evolution: Against Ted Sider’s "Against Parthood"
Authors: Fitzpatrick Michael
Published: December 2022

This article explores process mereology, the theory of part-whole relations. I compare and contrast the mereology of Theodore Sider with that of Alfred North Whitehead, broadly favoring the latter’s approach for allowing us to take seriously an evolutionary structure in metaphysics.
What is Consciousness?
Authors: Brown Jason
Published: December 2022

This paper summarizes the main features of the microgenetic account of consciousness, of the transition from self to image, act and object, the epochal nature of this transition, and its relation to introspection, imagination, and agency. The affinities of microgenetic theory to many aspects of process thought should be evident to readers of this journal, but the theory, which was developed in pathological case study, rests on a wealth of clinical detail that is beyond the scope of this article. In brief, the micro-temporal transition from archaic to recent formations (distributed systems) in the phyletic history of forebrain constitutes the absolute mental state, with consciousness the relation of self to image and/or object. The discussion touches on the overlap of states, the continuity of the core over successive states, and subjective time experience.
In Defense of Secularizing Whitehead
Authors: Allan George
Published: December 2022

This essay responds to Lewis Ford’s "Allan’s Atheism," in which he assesses a recent essay of mine that finds God an unnecessary and indeed coherence-destroying addition to Process and Reality. I clarify my position by showing how Whitehead’s notions of physical purpose and aesthetic determination adequately account for the novelty required for an actual occasion’s concrescence and for increases in achieved value. I then criticize Ford’s claim that genuine novelties must have a divine origin and that in Adventures of Ideas the Eros of the Universe refers to God.
Toward More Clarity about Coherence in Whitehead’s Metaphysics: A Proposal
Authors: Towne Edgar A.
Published: December 2022

What I call ambiguities of system due to the sheer complexity of Whiteheady’s metaphysics and his analysis of process in terms of concrescence and transition threaten its coherence in terms of what we know empirically of the quantum and classical dimensions of nature. Ambiguities of equivocation pertaining to Whitehead’s use of the terms "contemporary" and "objectification," as the latter is employed in to prehension and satisfaction, also threaten its coherence. The article proposes ways to reduce these threats and uncertainty about coherence by clarifying ambiguities and by attending to the way Whitehead’s terms are predicated on the quantum and classical dimensions.
Whitehead, Russell, and Moore: Three Analytic Philosophers
Authors: Rusu Bogdan , Desmet Ronny
Published: December 2022

The aim of this historically oriented article is to give an account of the methodohgical similarity of Whitehead and Russell with regard to the logico-mathematical mode of philosophical analysis, and of Whitehead and Moore with regard to common sense. According to the authors, these similarities, especially when taken together, justify the classification of Whitehead as an analytic philosopher. Because of the doctrinal uniqueness of Whitehead, however, they also hold that he will always remain an atypical analytic philosopher.

The imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure leads to the prevalence of obesity world-widely. Strategy to simultaneously limit energy intake and promote energy expenditure will serve as a powerful mean for new obesity treatment. Here, we identified Rhamnose as a non-nutritive sweetener to promote adipose thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Rhamnose promotes cAMP production and PKA activation through dopamine receptor D1 in adipose tissue. As a result, Rhamnose administration promotes UCP1dependent thermogenesis and ameliorates obesity in mice. Thus, we have demonstrated a Rhamnose-dopamine receptor D1-PKA axis critical for thermogenesis and Rhamnose may serve as a new therapeutic molecular diet against obesity.
The Work Context and Mentoring: Do Job Characteristics Influence Mentoring Received?
Authors: Waaland Torbjørn
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of job characteristics on mentoring received. A survey questionnaire was sent to 435 employees from 29 preschools in Norway and 284 responses were returned, a response rate of 65.3%. Exploratory factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the data while age was used as a control variable. The results reveal that social support and feedback from others have a significant influence on mentoring received, indicating that coordination of work based on these job characteristics could promote mentoring received in preschools.

The purpose of this study is to describe the performance of Islamic Education teachers in improving student achievement and to describe the achievement of students at SMP Darul Ihsan Muhammadiyah Sragen. This research is qualitative. Analysis of research data using the deductive method, starting from the formulation of the theory and then ending with the phenomenon of the research results. The results of this study indicate that professional teacher performance includes creativity and innovation in learning for students, namely by the enthusiasm of the students who attend learning clinics established by the relevant teachers every evening. Teachers with their performance relate lessons by always providing opportunities for students to take part in various competition events according to their talents. While the skills to carry out performance in teaching the teacher never allow an empty class. Then the form of student achievement is, in the cognitive realm, the ability to capture lessons and the results of academic competition with other students. In the affective realm, there is an example from a teacher, habits with peers, and a high spirit of empathy. In the psychomotor domain, there is an activity guide for daily skill activities in dormitories, for example, sermons, speeches, press activities, and sports skills.

Authors: Saputra Azis Ilham , Sri Lestari Sri Lestari , Ali Mohamad
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between religiosity and school climate on the moral behavior of high school students. The method used to determine the relationship between religiosity and school climate on the moral behavior of high school students in this study is quantitative. The data in this study were obtained by researchers through the questionnaire distribution method. Furthermore, based on the research results it is also known that the magnitude of the R-square value is 0.472, meaning that the magnitude of the influence of the variables of religiosity and school climate together on moral behavior is 47.2%. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between religiosity and school climate on student moral behavior, then there is a relationship or influence between high school student religiosity. This research implies that the results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between religiosity and students' moral behavior. therefore it is necessary to have moral education through religiosity both at school and in the family environment. This is because a student has deep knowledge and understanding of religious teachings, and practices his religious teachings obediently, he will reject and be negative towards behaviors that violate the teachings of his religion.
