Paul was a figure who initially hated Christianity, in fact Paul was ethically and morally a criminal based on religion. In fact he was a religious figure from the Jewish religion but he killed people who followed Jesus. However, behind Paul's crimes, before he converted, he experienced a personal encounter that changed his life completely. Paul experienced a very, very radical life transformation because at first he really wanted to destroy the people who followed Jesus, but instead he risked his own life to educate his life in preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The author uses literature-based research methods sourced from books and several journals, thereby helping the author to analyze the life of the apostle Paul and the life of theology students in the dormitory. Every theology student must experience a life transformation, because there are many young people who lived their past lives from different backgrounds or were not morally good, but on campus theology must change. So the author also believes that there are many theology students who struggle with ethics, generally theology students have a background far from the church but instead become servants of God. Formed in dormitory life and disciplined in life spiritually and morally.

Authors: Trujillo González Julio , De Sedas Abraham
Published: September 2024

El Modelo Lineal Generalizado (GLM) es una extensión de los modelos lineales que permite modelar relaciones entre variables con distribuciones no necesariamente normales. Los GLM son útiles en matemáticas aplicadas, permientiendo modelar y entender relaciones entre variables en situaciones complejas. En Latinoamérica, los GLM se han aplicado en campos como ecología, epidemiología y economía. Los GLM se componen de tres elementos: la distribución de la vsariable de respuesta, el predictor lineal y la función de enlace. Sin embargo, la interpretación de los resultados puede ser compleja y si los supuestos del modelo no se cumplen, las estimaciones peuden ser sesgadas. Un estudio de Juan Carlos Di Trani utilizó GLM para analizar el comportamiento de forrajeo de las abejas en relación con varios factores ambientales, proporcionando informaci´ón valiosa para la gestión de los cultivos y la protección de las abejas.

A acne é uma condição crônica comum que afeta os folículos pilossebáceos, resultando em obstrução decorrente de processos como hiperqueratose, hipersecreção sebácea e colonização microbiana. Caracterizada por lesões não inflamatórias e inflamatórias, afeta áreas com maior concentração de folículos sebáceos, como rosto, parte superior do tórax e costas. Além de fatores clínicos, sua ocorrência varia conforme idade, sexo, raça e fatores ambientais, gerando impactos psicossociais significativos. Neste estudo, foi proposto o desenvolvimento de um sérum com ação multifuncional para tratar a acne, usando bioativos amazônicos. A pesquisa envolveu a identificação das queixas estéticas da população na região Norte do Brasil, revelando maior preocupação com pele oleosa e acneica. A partir desses resultados, foram selecionadas plantas regionais com propriedades anti-inflamatórias, antimicrobianas e queratolíticas para a formulação. Os extratos glicólicos de Arrabidaea chica, Salix alba, Calycophyllum spruceanum e o óleo de Copaifera langsdorffii foram obtidos e utilizados na composição do sérum. Entretanto, os primeiros protótipos apresentaram incompatibilidades entre os ativos e o veículo, resultando em uma solução heterogênea. Foi necessária a modificação na formulação, incorporando um agente gelificante não iônico e um ajuste na técnica de incorporação dos ativos, o que resultou em um sérum com aspecto terracota, odor levemente modificado e propriedades desejadas de toque aveludado, viscosidade leve e efeito matte. A formulação do sérum à base de bioativos amazônicos demonstrou estabilidade físico-química e potencial para ação terapêutica na pele acneica, sem transferência de cor para a pele, apresentando características de segurança e eficácia. No entanto, são necessárias investigações adicionais sobre possíveis efeitos terapêuticos e alergênicos. A utilização de boas práticas na manipulação e a padronização dos extratos agregaram qualidade ao produto final, contribuindo para seu potencial uso no mercado dermocosmético.

CIÊNCIA, TECNOLOGIA E EDUCAÇÃO: UMA ABORDAGEM INTERDISCIPLINAR
Authors: Correa Gisele Siqueira
Published: September 2024

Este estudo visa apresentar alguns princípios teóricos que discutem a importância da ciência e da tecnologia, não somente na área educacional, mas também para o desenvolvimento da sociedade e de cidadãos críticos capazes de modificar o meio em que vivem, através de ações significativas, que resultam da implementação das novas tecnologias no contexto escolar. Diante da complexidade dos problemas encontrados para essa implementação, este trabalho visa argumentar como a tecnologia aliada à educação pode ser um instrumento, que tem muito a colaborar e beneficiar o ensino, tornando a aprendizagem mais interessante para o aluno. Contudo, é necessário não somente usar a tecnologia, mas também usá-la de forma responsável, pois cabe ao professor exercer seu papel de orientador, estimulando a ação e a reflexão dos alunos.  Este trabalho foi elaborado através de pesquisas bibliográficas, contribuindo para uma reflexão construtiva, onde verifica-se que o professor precisa incorporar em suas práticas uma análise e compreensão da realidade, refletindo e dominando criticamente as novas tecnologias, voltadas à educação.  A ciência e a tecnologia são compreendidas num aspecto amplo, havendo sempre a necessidade de repensá-las, redirecioná-las, num processo dinâmico e que envolve continuamente a tomada de decisões, sendo importantes aliadas ao profissional, enquanto instrumento de dinamização da prática docente.

Aspiring to State Authority: The Autonomy of Arbitration Institutions in China
Authors: Huang Kai-Shen
Published: September 2024

Drawing on fourteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, this article ex-amines the widespread process of officialization in China’s arbitration institutions, aiming to understand the motivations for this approach that diverges from market norms. Despite legislation from the central govern-ment advocating for greater autonomy, the reliance of many arbitration institutions on the state’s formal system remains entrenched. The article argues that this dependence is largely attributable to the aspiration of Chi-nese arbitral officials to be recognized as part of the state’s ruling regime. Self-realization in contemporary China is not limited merely to the pur-suit of self-responsibility and independence, nor is the state’s role in ena-bling or constraining these forms of freedom always consistent. The article highlights the negotiation between individual autonomy and state guardi-anship as a crucial feature of Chinese subjecthood that shapes outcomes in engaging with legal provisions.

Mobile devices have become one of the most often used tools in everyday life, mostly because of the importance of its apps. In this case, mobile devices become personal trackers for daily activities that provide important information about the user by recording extra data in addition to the user's personal information. As a consequence of this information gathering, several tools are now accessible for use on mobile devices, however each tool is only able to provide discrete details about a certain application or activity. Consequently, the present research proposes a technology that allows investigators to get a detailed report and time line of all operations performed on the device. This report combines data from several sources to generate a unique collection of facts. Furthermore, an example is provided to illustrate how the solution works, highlighting the practicality of the instrument as well as the way in which investigators need to use it.
DATAFITS: A HETEROGENEOUS DATA FUSION FRAMEWORK FOR TRAFFIC AND INCIDENT PREDICTION
Authors: Geetha Reddy Y. , Sindhoora P. , Sharanya R. , Swathi Y.
Published: September 2024

In order to create a complete dataset, this study presents DataFITS (Data Fusion on Intelligent Transportation System), an open-source system that gathers and fuses traffic-related data from several sources. Our hypothesis is that traffic models may benefit from improved information coverage and quality thanks to a heterogeneous data fusion architecture, which would boost the effectiveness and dependability of ITS systems. Two applications that made use of event categorization and traffic estimate models confirmed our hypothesis. For nine months, DataFITS gathered four different kinds of data from seven different sources and combined them into a spatiotemporal domain. While incident categorization utilized the k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) method with Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Wasserstein metric as distance measurements, traffic estimation models used polynomial regression and descriptive statistics. The findings show that by fusing data, DataFITS was able to enhance information quality for up to 40% of all roads and dramatically expand road coverage by 137%. While incident classification reached 90% accuracy on binary tasks (incident or non-incident) and about 80% on categorizing three distinct categories of events (accident, congestion, and non-incident), traffic estimate earned an R2 score of 0.91 using a polynomial regression model.

Machine learning is now all the rage in the AI world. We have recently used AI to construct very clever devices with exceptional performance. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that produces very accurate findings, which in turn indicates very good performance. Apps for picture description make use of deep learning in our study. Providing a description of a picture's content is what image description is all about. Object and action detection in the input picture is the foundation of the notion. When describing images, there are primarily two methods: bottom-up and top-down. Bottom-up methods create captions by combining the information of an input picture. Using different architectures, such as recurrent neural networks, top-down methods provide a semantic representation of an input picture, which is then translated into a caption. One potential advantage of picture description is that it might aid those with visual impairments in comprehending what is shown in online images. What follows is an explanation of the specifics. Looking at the image below, what can you make out?

Defensive and in charge Nowadays, in many developing and urban areas, the greater air quality has become one of the most important factors in everything. The magnificence of the air is negatively affecting collectibles due to the many tainting methods caused by power consumption, transportation, and other factors. Population growth is a major issue in our nation as it is happening at a rapid pace. This, along with economic expansion, is causing environmental issues in cities, such as water and air pollution. in a portion of the air.
Air pollution and pollutants have a direct effect on human health. As is well known, the main sources of pollution include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter (PM), so2; etc. A propellant such as gasoline, petroleum, etc. that has not been properly oxidized is producing carbon monoxide. The burning of thermal fuel releases nitrogen oxide (NO), but sulfur dioxide (So2), one of the main air pollutants, is more prevalent and has a greater impact on human health. Multidimensional collisions with location, time, and imprecise boundaries augment the air's dominance. To examine AI-based approaches for air quality prediction is the aim of this enhancement. In this research, we will use a machine learning system to forecast air pollution.

Lithuanian laborers in Nazi-occupied Austria 1942–1945
Authors: Bubnys Arūnas
Published: September 2024

The theme of forced and voluntary labor of Lithuanians in Nazi Germany has been nearly forgotten and not studied by Lithuanian historians in recent decades. Even less examined has been the forced labor and imprisonment of Lithuanians in Nazi-annexed Austria. Up to 70,000 Lithuanians could have been deported to Germany during World War II. This is a fairly significant part of the Lithuanian population, which has affected Lithuanian Poles, Roma and minority Lithuanians most severely. When assessing the types and scale of Nazi violence, apart from the genocide of the Jews, the conclusion is that it affected people in Lithuania most who suffered from forced labor and forced removal from residential areas. At the current stage of research, we can predict that at least a thousand Lithuanians, forcibly or voluntarily, ended up in Nazi-annexed Austria during World War II. The national composition was made up predominantly of Lithuanians, Poles and Russians. Lithuanians were transported to Austria en masse from 1942 to almost until the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War. The vast majority of Lithuanians brought to Austria worked in industrial and transport companies. The overview of the workplaces shows that the majority of the Lithuanians was concentrated in Vienna, Kapfenberg and Marktle. A smaller number of Lithuanians were employed by farmers in the villages.
Part of the Lithuanian population came to Austria as political prisoners or for racial reasons (Jews). Another part was imprisoned while staying in Austria for disciplinary violations or attempts to flee to Lithuania. The imprisoned residents of Lithuania were mainly held in the Mauthauzen concentration camp and its branches (Guzen, etc.). At the current stage of research, it can be predicted that at least one hundred inhabitants of Lithuania of different nationalities were imprisoned in the Mauthauzen concentration camp. The revised List of 68 Lithuanians who died in Mauthauzen concentration camp (some persons may be Latvian residents) listed below in appendix 1 (list clarified by LGGRTC employee Stanislovas Buchaveckas).

Homeland – East Prussia, Home – Lithuania: The Case of the Wolf Children
Authors: Matimaitytė Rūta
Published: September 2024

After Second World War, Soviet Lithuania experienced one of the largest waves of migration from the territory of what was previously East Prussia. By cart, on foot or by freight train, children from East Prussia – alone or with one of their guardians – tried to reach the neighbouring Lithuania. Sick and hungry, these children were forced to find ways to survive in the Soviet-occupied territory, which was plagued with mass deportations, partisan warfare and collectivisation. This is the case of the so-called wolf children who grew up in Soviet Lithuania with the hostile Soviet narrative of their traumatic experience, and tried to convey their traumatic experiences – revealed through the meanings of homeland and home – during trips to Kaliningrad.
Die Parteiendifferenztheorie im Politikfeld der deutschen Migrationspolitik als Erklärungsfaktor
Authors: Borchert Finn Derice
Published: September 2024

Spätestens seit der Flüchtlingskrise 2015 ist das Thema der Migration unverändert auf der politischen Agenda geblieben. Verschiedene Regierungen in unterschiedlichen deutschen Bundesländern reagieren dabei mit verschiedenartigen Policies darauf. Das Ziel dieses Beitrages besteht darin, diese verschiedenen Policies der beiden Bundesländer hinsichtlich der Aspekte „Finanzierung/Beauftragung der Krankenkassen mit der Gesundheitsversorgung der Asylsuchenden und Einführung der Gesundheitskarte“, „zentrale Unterbringung (Ankerzentren)“, „Existenzsicherung“, „Abschiebungen nach Afghanistan“ und der „Abstimmung im Bundesrat über das Gesetz zu sicheren Herkunftsländern (Marokko, Tunesien, Algerien)“ in Bezug auf ihre Permissivität oder Restriktivität in einer vergleichenden Fallanalyse zu untersuchen. Somit wird dahingehend die Frage nach den möglichen Unterschieden gestellt. Der vergleichenden Fallanalyse liegt dabei die Annahme zugrunde, dass die Parteiendifferenztheorie im expliziten Fall greift, da aktuelle Forschungsbeispiele explizit Parteieffekte (neben weiteren Effekten) im Fall der migrationspolitischen Policies auf Länderebene in Deutschland nachweisen. Die Hypothese(n), dass Berlin mit seiner Rot-Grün-Roten Regierung in diesem Einzelfall deutlich progressiver agiert, als Bayern mit seiner Regierung aus CSU und den Freien Wählern, bei denen restriktivere Policies zu erwarten sind, wird dabei bewiesen.
„Ich übertrage Dir meine Stimme!“
Authors: Haake Philipp
Published: September 2024

Dieses Paper untersucht die Vor- und Nachteile von Liquid Democracy, wie sie von der Piratenpartei Deutschlands mithilfe der Software „Liquid Feedback“ umgesetzt wird. Dadurch soll Mitgliedern direkte oder delegierte Mitbestimmung bei politischen Entscheidungen ermöglichen werden. Die Analyse zeigt jedoch, dass diese Form der Stimmendelegation die Entstehung oligopolistischer Machtstrukturen begünstigt, da Delegationsketten und Clusterbildung Macht konzentrieren. Ein Großteil der Mitglieder nutzt die Delegation, ohne selbst aktiv an den Entscheidungsprozessen teilzunehmen. Wodurch die idealisierte Vorstellung, dass die am qualifiziertesten und am besten geeigneten Personen die Stimmen erhalten, in Frage gestellt wird.
Intergeschlechtlichkeit im Leistungssport
Authors: Garleff Lea-Henrike
Published: September 2024

Der Leistungssport, basierend auf binären Geschlechtervorstellung, ist ein besonders aktuelles Feld wenn es um Geschlechterfragen, Diskriminierung und Heteronormativität geht. Besonders der Diskurs um intergeschlechtliche Sportler:innen verdeutlicht das Dilemma zwischen Chancengleichheit und Diskriminierungsarmut. Regelungen sollen dafür sorgen, dass in Wettkämpfen natürliche Körper mit ähnlichen physiologischen Voraussetzungen gegeneinander antreten, um Spannung und Ergebnisoffenheit zu generieren. Dem gegenüber steht gegenüber ein selektiver, diskriminierender Umgang mit Intergeschlechtlichen Sportler:innen, zB. durch hormonsenkende Behandlungen und Geschlechtstests. Aus der Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte der Geschlechtertests zur Einteilung in Leistungsklassen und dem damit verbundenen Scheitern zeigt sich die Komplexität von Geschlecht und die Inkompatibilität der sozial geschaffenen Grenzen der Binarität. So stellt sich die Legitimation von Diskriminierung durch Chancengleichheit als umstritten heraus, was durch die Debatte um die Existenz von Chancengleichheit im Sport verdeutlicht wird. Daher ist es notwendig sich mit dem Spannungsfeld zwischen Spitzensport und Intergeschlechtlichkeit auseinanderzusetzen und die bestehe Heteronormativität im Sportsystem zu hinterfragen. Die daraus entstehenden Grenzen des aktuellen Sportsystems bringen das Interesse nach alternativen Möglichkeiten mit sich. Denn das vorhandene Dilemma zwischen Fairness, Chancengleichheit und diskriminierungsfreier Teilhabe Aller kann bis zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt nicht gelöst werden. So lässt sich zwar zeigen, dass sich immer mehr Sportorganisationen um Diskriminierungsfreiheit bemühen, die Problematik der binären Leistungsklassen und Hierarchisierung der Geschlechter jedoch so grundlegend in der Organisationsstruktur verankert ist (Krämer, 2020 B, S. 19), dass ein Umdenken des Sports auf struktureller Ebene notwendig erscheint.

Authors: Okeke Nchedo Priscilla , Anyanwu Kamsiyochi Chris
Published: September 2024

Cet article a étudié la traduction littéraire comme outil d’épanouissement de langue maternelle. Le but de ce travail est d’exposer la traduction littéraire comme outil d’épanouissement de langue Igbo. Cette étude est un sondage menée auprès de 36 professeurs de  langues à  Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe. L'instrument utilisé pour cette étude était un questionnaire de 39 éléments, développé autour des quatre questions de recherche et distribué aux 36 professeurs de  langue anglaise, française et Igbo. Le pourcentage simple ou la moyenne a été utilisé pour l'analyse des données et chaque échelle d'évaluation dont la moyenne était supérieure à 2,5 a été acceptée, tandis que toute moyenne obtenue inférieure à 2,5 a été rejetée. Les résultats montrent que la traduction littéraire promeuve le développement des langues maternelles, l’enrichissement de patrimoine culturel et la préservation de la culture en rendant les œuvres littéraires accessibles à un public plus large. Cependant, l'étude souligne également que la plupart des professeurs de langues ne traduisent pas les œuvres littéraires dans la langue Igbo en raison des problèmes de censure et de la demande limitée du marché.  Par conséquent, cette étude recommande que le gouvernement, les organisations non gouvernementales, les éditeurs, les traducteurs, les professeurs de langues et les auteurs doivent mettre en place des programmes pour soutenir et pour financer la traduction des œuvres littéraires vers la langue Igbo.
 
Abstract:
This study entitled “Literary Translation as a Tool for Mother Tongue Development” explores literary translation as a tool for developing the Igbo language. It employed a survey research design and involved 36 language teachers at Nwafor Orizu College of Education, Nsugbe. The instrument used for this study was a 39-item questionnaire, developed around the four research questions and distributed to the 36 English, French and Igbo language lecturers. The simple percentage or mean was used for data analysis and each rating scale with a mean above 2.5 was accepted, while any mean below 2.5 was rejected. The results show that literary translation promotes the development of mother tongues, enriches and preserves cultural heritage by making literary works accessible to a wider audience. However, it also points out that most language teachers do not translate literary works into Igbo Language due to problems of censorship and limited market demand. The study recommends that the Government, Non-Governmental Organisations, publishers, translators, language teachers and authors should set up programmes to support and finance the translation of literary works into Igbo Language.
"SOLENOID" AS WORLD LITERATURE
Authors:   Charles University of Prague, Czech Republic, BĂLAN Daniela Andreea
Published: September 2024

This study proposes an analysis of the novel Solenoid from the point of view of world literature theories. The aim of the article is to demonstrate how this contemporary type of discourse contributes to a revaluation of Cărtărescu’s writing in the national sphere, where world literature theories have not been widely explored yet and where Cărtărescu’s novels have sometimes received divergent opinions. First, we will situate our discourse in the context of world literature current debates. Second, Cărtărescu’s novel will be placed in a network of world writers we consider he belongs to. The third part is dedicated to the way in which the image of Bucharest is constructed in the novel. The closing section will clarify the reasons why Cărtărescu’s novel sets into motion but, at the same time, challenges world literature’s network of writers that it establishes strong connections with.
