ABOUT RETURNING A TAPESTRY TO THE INTERIOR
Authors: Dvorkina I.
Published: June 2021

A short excursion into the history of the European tapestry allows reminding the various methods of using tapestries in historical interiors of different historical periods, the role of tapestry in the USSR and in the post-Soviet territories.

The article analyzes the problems that led to the paradoxical situation that has developed in Russia when the number of artists specializing in creating tapestries after graduation from universities becomes more and more, but they remain not in demand.

Possible ways of using traditional tapestry and actual textile forms in modern interior design are suggested.

The problem of terminology is also discussed, which is now especially acute in all cultural areas.
Noninvasive Human-Prosthesis Interfaces for Locomotion Intent Recognition: A Review
Authors: Xu Dongfang , Wang Qining
Published: June 2021

The lower-limb robotic prostheses can provide assistance for amputees’ daily activities by restoring the biomechanical functions of missing limb(s). To set proper control strategies and develop the corresponding controller for robotic prosthesis, a prosthesis user’s intent must be acquired in time, which is still a major challenge and has attracted intensive attentions. This work focuses on the robotic prosthesis user’s locomotion intent recognition based on the noninvasive sensing methods from the recognition task perspective (locomotion mode recognition, gait event detection, and continuous gait phase estimation) and reviews the state-of-the-art intent recognition techniques in a lower-limb prosthesis scope. The current research status, including recognition approach, progress, challenges, and future prospects in the human’s intent recognition, has been reviewed. In particular for the recognition approach, the paper analyzes the recent studies and discusses the role of each element in locomotion intent recognition. This work summarizes the existing research results and problems and contributes a general framework for the intent recognition based on lower-limb prosthesis.

Authors: Minh Dương Đức , Hà Nguyễn Ngân
Published: June 2021

Mục đích của nghiên cứu hành động này là để cải thiện khả năng phát âm của sinh viên, đặc biệt là về các nguyên âm tiếng Anh, thông qua một chương trình luyện âm. 20 sinh viên không chuyên tiếng Anh của Trường Đại học Khoa học Tự nhiên, Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội tham gia chương trình này. Trong 10 tuần, học viên được giải thích về cách tạo nguyên âm tiếng Anh cũng như sự giống và khác nhau giữa hệ thống nguyên âm tiếng Anh và tiếng Việt trước khi thực hành các âm này thông qua mô hình bồi dưỡng của Dickerson. Dữ liệu được thu thập từ bảng câu hỏi và kiểm tra trước và sau thực nghiệm. Việc phân tích dữ liệu thu thập được đã chứng minh rằng sau chương trình đào tạo, học viên đã đạt được sự cải thiện nhất định về khả năng phát âm của mình. Số lỗi phát âm nguyên âm giảm; tuy nhiên, một số âm vẫn có vấn đề với người học. Bằng cách nghiên cứu những lỗi sai về phát âm của sinh viên, nhóm nghiên cứu nhận thấy rằng có sự tồn tại mối quan hệ giữa tiếng Việt và tiếng Anh, và tiếng Việt có ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến việc tiếp thu phát âm tiếng Anh của sinh viên trong nghiên cứu này. Bên cạnh đó, việc sử dụng các chiến lược học phát âm khác nhau đã được chứng minh là hữu ích cho việc học phát âm của học sinh, đặc biệt là nhóm chiến lược xã hội.

The Examination of Job Satisfaction of Teachers in terms of Commuting Time, Motivation and some Demographic Characteristic
Authors: Önen Özgür , Doğaner Yasemin Altındal
Published: June 2021

Teachers’ appointments & relocations may create problems for both teachers & educational administers in centralized & developing countries. Policymakers should not only consider school needs but also give attention to teachers’ needs while appointing teachers to schools in a nationwide system. Current regulations in Turkey give priority to vacancies in schools. However, this priority causes partners to live apart from each other or let one of them work in schools located, generally, in rural districts or villages away from the other partner or family member in need of special care of a relative. Teachers who work under this circumstances complain about online forms, and teacher unions ask governmental agencies to reconsider their priorities. Both teacher unions and teachers argue that this system of reappointment causes them to be exhausted and feel unhappy. This study, it is aimed to understand if commuting time is related to teachers’ job satisfaction together with their motivation, gender, seniority, compulsory duty, and marital status. Results indicated that extrinsic motivation, commuting time & gender are significant predictors of job satisfaction. The findings of the study were discussed & possible suggestions are given according to the results.

Authors: Holmes Andrew G D
Published: June 2021

This paper explores, from a theoretical basis, the difficulty in defining and assessing learner autonomy in higher education. Although the development of learner autonomy as a key aim of higher education, it is a vague and ill-defined term. As such, the assessment of learner autonomy within university programs of study is highly problematic. The author argues that the authentic assessment of genuine learner autonomy may not be possible within formal credit-bearing programs of higher education. The aim of the paper is to stimulate reflection and discussion so that university teaching staff may reflect and consider whether they can assess autonomy in the programs they are responsible for.

Published: June 2021

Individual personality development is influenced by various factors, there are internal factors and external factors. This paper aims to determine whether a unique life experience, namely suffering, can influence the formation of a person's personality. This study uses a biblical study approach to the story of Job in the book of Ayub with a narrative interpretation method and also uses a literature study approach. It is evident that unpleasant life experiences such as the suffering that befell Job do not change Job's good personality. Job was a godly and honest man; fear Allah and shun evil; a person of sincerity or integrity; an optimist; a generous person; and a man who is loyal to his wife
Kematian Seutuhnya Dalam Pengakuan Gereja Toraja Menurut Pandangan Antropologi Metafisik
Authors: Salewa Wandrio
Published: June 2021

Death is a reality that every human being must experience. In death all human power and effort during his life becomes terminated, meaningless and death stops everything. Even so, humans believe in themselves there is something that is not affected by death, namely the soul, so that only the body experiences death. Whether influenced by philosophical thinking or traditional views. The dead body and the immortal soul contain the notion of a soul containing divine elements.
The description in this paper focus on understanding death as a whole using a metaphysical anthropology approach. With the research method of literature study and cursory observations, the result show that humans die completely and live completely. Humans experience death in both body and soul. However, on the other hand, in personal relationships with others, it is found that the body and soul remain intact in the memories of others, even though someone’s person has died. The concept og human death as a whole, in the view of metaphysical anthropology, has similarities with complete death, is the recognition of the Toraja church.

Vulnerability and ability to exercise one’s rights
Authors: Neto Luísa
Published: June 2021

We intended to discuss the relationship between the right to the free development of personality constitutionally enshrined and the conditions placed by specific situations of vulnerability to the exercise of fundamental rights. Vulnerability appears as a transversal and universal phenomenon, episodic or permanent. The reflection and legal intervention on vulnerability are thus justified as a view of respecting human dignity and of promoting values such as autonomy, health, physical or mental integrity. The respect for the different personal needs precludes normalization and imposes the substitution of the medical model for a social model of vulnerability. This results in an eventually generic duty of care committed to the State, which – in a non-paternalistic way – must deal with situations of discriminatory imbalance (eg people with disabilities, but also children or the elderly), requiring the analysis of the specific problems of vulnerable groups that demand consideration specific to the principle of equality.
Studi Deskriptif Konflik dalam Komunitas Religius yang Berwajah Multikultural Ditinjau dari Aksiologi Max Scheler
Authors: Baylon Steviano Alyanro
Published: June 2021

Abstrak:

Kesadaran akan nilai persatuan di zaman ini sudah mulai pudar. Sekelompok orang sering menjadikan perbedaan, sebagai motif untuk memecah belah persatuan. Sehingga tidak jarang, banyak terjadi konflik diantar budaya yang tak kunjung usai. Perbedaan budaya menjadi penyebab konflik yang terjadi di antara masyarakat Indonesia salah satunya komunitas Frater. Maka dalam tulisan ini penulis mau mendalami nilai egaliter sebagai alat pemersatu di dalam komunitas Frater yang terkadang mengalami konflik. Konflik yang terjadi karena adanya pandangan yang berbeda mengenai nilai atau kebiasaan diantara budaya di dalam komunitas tersebut.  Dalam hirarki nilai Max Scheler ada nilai spiritual yang dapat menjadi landasan yang baik untuk menjadikan komunitas frater yang memiliki nilai kasih persaudaraan, sebab dalam nilai egaliter terkandung penghargaan terhadap martabat dan kedudukan manusia yang sederajat dengan manusia lainnya. Maka nilai egaliter sangatlah dibutuhkan untuk membangun komunitas religius yang ideal sesuai dengan nilai kesatuan, sehingga komunitas frater dapat tumbuh dalam multikultural yang membangun kebersamaan, tanpa menumbuhkan konflik.
