A Study of Consumer Buying Behavior of Ford Brand
Authors: - RUPAM SHUKLA
Published: May 2023

Preferences of Ford brand buyers Developing a successful market in today's competitive environment requires an in-depth familiarity with consumer purchasing patterns. The study's goal is to evaluate how satisfied buyers are with their Ford purchases and identify the factors that contribute to their decision to purchase. The study's primary objective was to learn about current Ford car owners' perceptions of the brand's strengths and weaknesses.
Researchers use questionnaires to learn about consumer buying habits in relation to variables like brand. Features, mileage, offers, performance, and service. Telephone callings were also used to get feedback from current car owners on how to make the car-buying/-leasing process more convenient for future customers. To help us evaluate the merits and shortcomings of the vehicles, we surveyed 100 people at random. The primary purpose of this report was to survey Ford customers about their experiences with the company's current products and services and analyse those responses in light of what those customers would like to see Ford offer in the future. Brand recognition, product offerings, and pricing were identified as company strengths, while mileage and customer service were identified as areas for improvement.
Harden Properties of Concrete using Untreated Wash Water
Authors: - Er. Mukesh Kumar , - Er. Sandeep Pannu
Published: May 2023

Concrete is a widely used construction material that provides a durable and strong foundation for structures. However, the production process of concrete involves the generation of large quantities of waste, including untreated wash water, which can negatively impact the environment. This has led to the exploration of ways to recycle and reuse this waste material, including using it in the production of concrete.

The use of untreated wash water in concrete production has been shown to affect the harden properties of concrete. The harden properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and durability, are critical in determining the performance and longevity of a structure. The presence of contaminants and impurities in untreated wash water can affect these properties by reducing the strength of the concrete and making it more susceptible to degradation.

Studies have shown that the use of untreated wash water in concrete production can result in a decrease in compressive strength, which is a measure of the ability of concrete to withstand loads. The presence of contaminants and impurities can also affect the durability of concrete by increasing the rate of corrosion of steel reinforcement and reducing its ability to resist cracking.

However, several techniques have been developed to mitigate the negative effects of untreated wash water on the harden properties of concrete. These techniques include the use of chemical additives, such as superplasticizers and pozzolanic materials, to improve the strength and durability of concrete. Additionally, the use of pre-treatment processes, such as filtration and sedimentation, can help remove contaminants and impurities from untreated wash water before it is used in concrete production.

Authors: Maciel Tatiane T. , Barbosa Bruno C. , Prezoto Fábio
Published: May 2023

It is possible to elaborate adequate methodologies for collecting social wasps from the knowledge of their behavior. Thus, the objective of the present study was to compare the attractiveness of different sized PET bottles (plastic soda bottles) (by volume), types of juice and variety of attractive flavors of juice in elaborating attractive traps to optimize the method for diverse works involving social wasps. The work was elaborated in the Botanical Garden of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, between the years of 2015 and 2016, and was divided into three experiments. The three experiments did not present a significant difference in relation to the richness or abundance of social wasps species, therefore the bottle volume choice used as traps, the type of juice (natural or artificial) and the variety of attractive substance should be selected according to practicality and low economic value. As such, the use of 0.5 L PET bottles as attractive traps filled with 150mL of mango, guava or passion fruit artificial juice is suggested.
Physical and Chemical Treatment Effects on the Germination of Pear Seeds (Pyrus Communis L.)
Authors: Al-Hussein Ziad , Al-Shabib Marwa
Published: May 2023

Pear (Pyrus communis L.) is one of the important species of fruits that are widely cultivated in Syria. Seed propagation of the pear is an important way to obtain seedlings to be used as grafting assets, but the method of seed propagation is difficult due to the effect of dormancy factors in germination. The research was carried out during 2020 and 2021 to study the effects of stratification for three periods (30–60–90 days) using ascorbic acid at a concentration of 100 mg/L, and potassium nitrate at a concentration of 0.3% for breaking the dormancy of pear seeds. The results showed that the best averages were at stratification for 60 days and gave the percentage of germination as 31%, and the speed of germination at 1.28 seeds/day. Additionally, treatments of seed soaking with ascorbic acid or potassium nitrate (without stratification) contributed to improving the germination percentage to 7.67% and 3.67%, respectively, with significant differences compared with the control (1%). The best results were with stratification treatment for 60 days with ascorbic acid, where the percentage of germination reached 49.67% and the germination speed increased to 3.91 seeds/day, in addition to reducing the period required for germination to 21 days.

Authors: Lewis Catherine C. , Stodard Justin , Lerner Joshua D. , Sufrin Hanna A.
Published: May 2023

Este artículo describe el Lesson Study basado en la escuela, un tipo de aprendizaje profesional local que es casi universal en Japón pero raro en los Estados Unidos. Después de discutir los elementos centrales de Lesson Study en toda la escuela, examinamos sus promesas y desafíos en los Estados Unidos. La promesa se muestra en el potencial presentado por el Lesson Study en toda la escuela, cuando se combina con un enfoque como la enseñanza a través de la resolución de problemas, para resolver dos problemas persistentes en la educación de los EE. UU.: (1) transformar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas para centrarse en la resolución de problemas; y (2) abordar la brecha de oportunidades que enfrentan los estudiantes de grupos históricamente marginados. Identificamos dos principios subyacentes al desarrollo exitoso del Lesson Study en toda la escuela: apoyo a la motivación intrínseca de los docentes; y liderazgo conjunto maestro-administrador. Juntos, estos principios se postulan para apoyar la efectividad colectiva de los maestros, una poderosa influencia en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Finalmente, discutimos un gran desafío para el Lesson Study en toda la escuela: sostenerlo en medio de cambios en el liderazgo de la escuela y del distrito.
Building Thinking Classrooms. A Summary of 15 Years of Research
Authors: Liljedahl Peter
Published: May 2023

Student difficulty with mathematics has been a pervasive and systemic problem since the advent of public education—not because students can't learn mathematics, but because, by and large, students can't learn it by being told how to do it. Since the publication of the NCTM Principles and Standards (1998) there has been a concerted effort to change this reality by transitioning to more progressive and student-centered pedagogies. And progress has been made. Yet, something is still missing. Systemically, we are still struggling with high failure rates, low self-efficacy, and massive student disengagement. In this article I look at the results of a research project that was specifically designed to change this reality by finding ways to get students to think. The results of this work shows that there are a collection of teaching practices that any teacher can use to turn their classroom into a space where students think, learn, and succeed
Ein geometrisches Problem aus dem Schulbuch – Erfahrungen und Möglichkeiten im ungarischen Lehramtsstudium
Authors: Ambrus Gabriella
Published: May 2023

In der letzten Zeit geraten geometrische Aufgaben im ungarischen Mathematikunterricht etwas in den Hintergrund. So haben immer mehr Lehramtsstudierende größere Defizit an geometrischen Kenntnissen zu Beginn ihres Studiums als es in früheren Jahren der Fall war. Nicht nur wegen der Wichtigkeit der Geometrie an sich, sondern auch aus fachdidaktischen Gründen ist dieser Inhaltsbereich wichtig, da geometrische Aufgaben besonders für den Problemlöseunterricht und die Entwicklung mathematischen Denkens geeignet sind. Ein Beispiel hierfür wäre, dass zu einer geometrischen Aufgabe im Allgemeinen oft mehrere, verschiedene Lösungswege angefertigt und analysiert werden können. Es gibt Aufgaben, die besonders für das Finden und Nutzen von verschiedenen Lösungswegen geeignet sind. Solche sind in ungarischen Lehrbüchern leicht zu finden. Eine problemorientierte Arbeit mit geometrischen Schulbuchaufgaben an dem mathematikdidaktischen Seminar kann - neben anderen Vorteilen - sich positiv auf die Einstellung zum Problemlösen und auf die Aufgabenkultur der künftigen Mathematiklehrerinnen und -lehrer auswirken. An einem konkreten Beispiel wird eine Möglichkeit für eine solche Arbeit am Online–Unterricht aufgezeigt.
Problem erkannt? – Problem gebannt?
Authors: Dutkowski Wilfried
Published: May 2023

Die Kegelschnitte sind die Grundlage zur Lösung der historischen Probleme Trisektion, Würfelverdopplung und Kreisquadratur außerhalb der von Euklid erlaubten Werkzeuge. In diesem Beitrag wird einerseits die Wandlung des Begriffs Problem im Zusammenhang mit zugelassenen Werkzeugen thematisiert und für die SI als potenzieller Unterrichtsgegenstand vorgestellt. Problemlösen ist - psychologisch betrachtet - sehr interessant, deshalb erfolgt ein Brückenschlag ausgehend von Köhlers Experiment mit Schimpansen auf Teneriffa bis in die Belletristik. Unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Diskussion um Werkzeuge und Unterrichtsinhalte werden Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie die antike mathematische Problemlösung den heutigen, technisch unterstützten Unterricht, positiv beeinflussen kann, bzw. wie die Denkstrukturen der Antike adaptiert werden können.
Brainteasers vs. offene Problemfelder

Published: May 2023

In diesem Artikel setzen wir Brainteaser und offene Problemfelder miteinander in Verbindung. Wir erarbeiten, dass erstere mit einer klassischen Unart verbunden sind, den Weg zur Behauptung zu vertuschen. Hierzu stellen wir drei klassische Aufgaben vor. Allein genommen wirken sie für sich wie Brainteaser, deren Lösung eines genialen Einfalls bedarf. Zusammengenommen – und mit etwas Kontext angereichert – wird jedoch klar, dass es viel produktiver ist, sie als Übungsfälle für das allgemeine Prinzip der Nutzung von Invarianten zur Lösung von Aufgaben darstellen.

Authors: Böhme Nadine , Hahn Heike
Published: May 2023

Im Rahmen einer quasi-experimentellen Studie im Prätest-Posttest-Kontrollgruppen-Design standen metakognitive Prozesse beim Problemlösen im Fokus. Die Studierenden der Experimentalgruppe des zweiten Mastersemesters waren alle zwei Wochen dazu aufgefordert, eine Problemaufgabe allein oder zu zweit im Rahmen des Seminars zu lösen und ihren Bearbeitungsprozess zu dokumentieren. Zusätzlich sollten sie unterschiedliche Bearbeitungen der gleichen Problemlöseaufgabe nachvollziehen und eine Rückmeldung hierzu schreiben. Durch die Reflexion des eigenen Bearbeitungsprozesses, entsprechende Feedbacks durch die Dozierenden und die Einschätzung fremder Bearbeitungsprozesse wurde versucht, das eigene Denken im Sinne der Metakognition beim Problemlösern bewusst zu machen. Im Beitrag wird betrachtet, inwieweit sich Unterschiede zwischen der Experimentalgruppe im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe bei den Erwartungen an das Problemlösen im Unterricht bzw. hinsichtlich der Überzeugungen zur Struktur mathematischen Wissens zeigen. Zusätzlich wird die Zufriedenheit der Experimentalgruppe mit dem Seminarkonzept betrachtet.

„Status quo“ des Problemlöseunterrichts in der Grundschule: Wird der Kompetenzbereich (weiterhin) vernachlässigt?
Authors: Gebel Inga , Kuzle Ana , Sturm Nina
Published: May 2023

Obwohl das Problemlösen in der Fachdidaktik nicht zuletzt durch die Bildungsstandards einen unverzichtbaren Kompetenzbereich darstellt, ist die Untersuchung der schulischen Implementierung wenig fortgeschritten. Vielmehr werden Erklärungsansätze für Schwierigkeiten bei der Unterrichtsgestaltung auf einer Erfahrungsbasis diskutiert, ohne den tatsächlichen „Status Quo“ auf einer empirischen Basis zu kennen. Im Rahmen des Beitrags wird eine fragebogengestützte Studie präsentiert, an der 186 Grundschullehrkräfte aus zwei Bundesländern teilnahmen. Es werden ausgewählte Aspekte zur Implementierung des Problemlösens (Frequenz der Implementierung, Umsetzungsart, Hemmnisse, Quellen der Unterrichtsideen) thematisiert und die Beeinflussung durch die Kontrollvariablen (fachlicher Hintergrund, Berufserfahrung, Haltung zum Problemlösen) präsentiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen u. a., dass die Berufserfahrung keinen Einfluss auf Hemmnisse in der Implementierung nehmen, wenngleich sich der fachliche Hintergrund und die Haltung der Lehrkräfte auf die erlebten Unterrichtsschwierigkeiten auswirken. Insgesamt gibt dieser Beitrag Aufschluss über Faktoren, die den unbefriedigenden Status erklären können und bietet somit klare Rückschlüsse für die Praxis.

Published: May 2023

Education - in its broadest sense imparts a formative effect on the mind, character, and physical ability of an individual. This is particularly so in case of primary education. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another through institutions. Teacher’s quality is the overarching important factor in the entire process of education system. To improve the quality of school education system today we need teachers who can perform not only inside the classroom but also with the entities outside the school system. The current focus of educational administrators and policymakers is rightly laid on developing the required competencies and skills. The aims of education reflect the current needs and aspirations of a society as well as its lasting values, and the immediate concerns of a community as well as broad human ideals. Very little research efforts have been carried out to delve into these issues. This article presents the discussion of the varied demographic and other discussion of the Karnataka states, status of dropout students, government initiatives regarding primary education in the study area. The present study focuses to explore the issues & challenges of government schools in Karnataka.
La Transformation De La Societe Civile En Societe Anonyme
Authors: Nedoumbaiel Ramarde
Published: May 2023

Le code civil français de 1958, applicable au Tchad, en ses articles 1832 à 1873, n’a pas prévu la possibilité de la transformation d’une société civile en société anonyme. Pour des raisons stratégiques et économiques, le législateur OHADA a prévu une technique de changement de la forme de la société, aux fins de l’adapter aux exigences nouvelles des activités socio-économiques. Mais cette prévision législative semble restrictive. Elle n’a pas envisagé la transformation de la nature juridique de la société. La jurisprudence française, notre source d’inspiration, tante par moment de combler ce vide mais dans des conditions très restrictives. La clarification du législateur OHADA est souhaitable pour un développement plus harmonieux des affaires. La présente étude vise à esquisser la nécessité de la transformation de la société civile en société anonyme, dans l’espace OHADA, à partir de la jurisprudence française.
Educational Investment and Unemployment in Nigeria
Authors: Opuala-Charles Silva , Oshilike Ijeoma Victoria
Published: May 2023

Education is a fundamental human right and is essential for the development and progress of any nation. It is a general belief that educated individuals fare better in the labour market than the less educated. This study empirically examines investment and expenditures in education, and its influence on unemployment rate in Nigeria from 1991 to 2021. Unit root test, ARDL approach, bound test, Breusch Godfrey serial correlation LM test and the CUSUM test were employed. Unemployment rate (UER) was used as the dependent variable while Federal government recurrent expenditure (GEE), credit to private sector (CPS), average of school enrollment rate (ASE) as proxy for literacy rate, labour force participation rate (LFP) and gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) as the independent variables. Findings revealed that apart from UEM that is stationary at the level, the other variables are stationary at first difference given the 5% level of significance. Labour force participation rate is statistically significant. There is an insignificant positive relationship between government recurrent expenditure on education and unemployment rate in the long -run. On the other hand, credit to private sector, school enrolment rate, and gross fixed capital formation all conform to their a priori expectations, but are insignificant, i.e., statistically indifferent from zero. The study recommended among others that an actionable and working fiscal policy in the educational sector should be established and government should improve on the quality of institutions through better teacher training, investment in educational research development, and the establishment of vocational training centers that provide practical skills to students.
While Poor and Lower Income Taxpayers Are Forced to Subsidize the Lifestyle of Well-To-Do Elites, Evidence in The Current Research Suggested No Reliable Data Have Ever Existed for Scientific Analysis That Suggested Pollution or Manmade Contribution to Climate Change: Presenting Eddison Walters Climate Change Research Deception and Misinformation Theory
Authors: Walters Eddison
Published: May 2023

There is no debate the climate on earth is changing but research conducted by Walters and Djokic (2022) presented evidence that established, studies that attribute pollution or manmade cause and effect in climate change research are based on junk science. The study presented evidence that suggested, scientific data analysis linking manmade causes or pollution to climate change does not exist. Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory expanded Eddison Walters Modern Economic Analysis Theory which was developed by Walters (2020A) and was expanded by Walters and Djokic (2022). Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory which was explained in Walters and Djokic (2022) resulted in proposed changes by the researchers to restore the reliability and creditability of data analysis in scientific research. The researchers called for the implementation of changes to American Psychological Association (APA) standards aimed at avoiding junk science such as research that incorrectly links pollution or manmade causes to climate change without scientific evidence based on scientific data analysis from being accepted into the body of literature as scientific research (Walters, 2020: Walters, 2021; Walters & Djokic, 2022). The foundation of Walters and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory is grounded in the principle, of "all else being equal", which has been a long-established principle for the scientific analysis of data to ensure unknown factors do not distort the results of data analysis. The current study applied the principles of Walter and Djokic Quantitative Analysis Factor Distortion Theory for evaluating the creditability of directing taxpayer resources to green energy policies aimed and reversing climate change. The current study also considered what segment of the population benefits the most from green energy policies and what segment of the population shoulders the cost burden. The current study considered the opportunity cost of allocating taxpayer resources to implement green energy policy by considering challenges facing American taxpayers where the results of investments have quantifiable scientific measurements for successful implementation rather than committing resources to implement green energy policy with no quantifiable scientific measurements for successful implementation
East Asia and Latin America on the Crossroads of Development: The key factors that attributed to different developmental outcomes
Authors: Bakiris Konstantinos , Mylonakis John
Published: May 2023

East Asia and Latin America are two regions of great similarities and trajectories. Struggling with poverty and underdevelopment, many analysts classified them as regions of developing states. Today, countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan are among the fastest growing in the World while Brazil, Mexico and Argentina are still struggling with huge societal inequality, institutional corruption, and extreme poverty. The scope of this paper is to identify key factors that are attributed to different developmental outcomes between East Asia and Latin America. This will be accomplished through a comparative analysis of state policies, sectoral growth and relationship to external trade and market vulnerabilities, between three countries from each region, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico from Latin America and Japan, Korea, and Taiwan from East Asia. The paper argues that the model of developmentalism implemented in Latin America never aimed to achieve societal equality or technological growth and was tormented by political instability, elite-controlled systems, and protectionism that had no relativity with global trade. On the contrary, East Asia identified its internal market weaknesses and was committed to generating macroeconomic stability, creating an ideal atmosphere for private investment and political stability.

As technology advances, the use of Information and Communication (ICT) tools or gadgetries has proliferated in all areas of human endeavors which paved way for the use of electronic learning (e-learning) system in which teachers are no longer present in the physical classroom to teach their courses. This paper therefore evaluate the e-learning system as a mode of teaching and learning process, relevance of its usage and challenges that hinder majority of students in its usage in learning process particularly in our National Open University. This research will adopt survey research design where the researchers developed questionnaire known as Questionnaire on Usage of Electronic Learning System (QUELS) that served as an instrument for data collected. The study areas constituted Bauchi study centre of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) in the north east of Nigeria. And the population constituted all the students in the first year and second year of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) which was the sample of the study. Three (3) research questions were formulated the purpose of this research, The instrument used for data collected was validated by the experts in both fields of Computer Science and Education. Challenges such as non-availability of internet services, inability of indigent students to possess portable computer devices, irregular power supply as well as cost of accessing Internet facilities was assessed. And recommendations were given base on the findings of this research in order to see the possibilities of expanding the system in our schools at the advance level and some of the major problems facing studying electronically.
An Evaluation of English Textbook of Grade VII in the Light of Competency Based Curriculum in Bangladesh
Authors: Ullah Mohammed Anwar , Khanum Farjana
Published: May 2023

In Bangladesh, English textbook is the only material used widely for teaching English language. The textbook of class seven is designed based on the new curriculum following the experiential learning cycle, a theory of Kolb. The aims of this study are to justify the purposes of English textbook, to evaluate how the competencies are presented in the textbook and to check whether the experiential learning cycle is followed. Therefore, the study evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of this book regarding the presentation of four competencies as well as the presentation of four skills. Moreover, the research examines whether or not the units complete experiential learning cycle sequentially. The textbook provides enough opportunity for learners’ engagement. As the curriculum believes in learners’ autonomy and democratic practices, the book emphasizes group and pair work. However, there is very little scope for individual task. Based on the textbook analysis it is found that among 16 units, 7 units do not complete experiential learning cycle. During the evaluation the study also finds some other syntactic and semantic issues in the book. Beside these, the new curriculum is excellently organized. As it is designed following the new curriculum, it will have great impact on the teaching-learning system. Some recommendations are also made for improving the textbook for class seven.

Authors: Enninful Ebenezer Kofi
Published: May 2023

In recent times it is perceived technology is contributing to high levels of unemployment among graduate workers in the photography industry in Ghana. The study aimed to explore the impact of technology on employment opportunities in the industry and assess the consequences of this for Ghana. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to inform the research design, which involved both qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather quality data from participants. The study involved interviews and questionnaires with a total of 23 participants, including directors of photography studios, graduate workers, and unemployed graduates seeking employment. The findings suggest that the rise of modern technology is leading to the displacement of digital photography skilled workers, with photography directors being hesitant to expand their businesses and hire more workers due to the challenging economic climate. Participants also reported facing financial constraints when trying to start their photography businesses. Based on these findings, the study provides suggestings for assuaging the impact of technological unemployment in digital photography industry in Ghana.
Gabriela Mistral y la Educación para la Paz Iberoamericana y Mundial
Authors: Farías Rojas Gabriel Arturo , Cid Uribe Miriam Elizabeth , Orellana González Francisco Javier , Aravena Erices Marcia , Amaro Mardones Karenth Romina
Published: May 2023

Este artículo es el resultado de una invitación de Unicervantina (en la actualidad, Unicervantes) en Bogotá, Colombia, para reflexionar sobre la Educación para la Paz desde la perspectiva del discurso de Gabriela Mistral. Por lo tanto, la idea es tomar en cuenta tanto su discurso como su biografía para comprender cómo Mistral vincula Educación y Paz en su práctica discursivo-pedagógica a lo largo del tiempo. Por un lado, es de suma importancia considerar su pedagogía en tanto maestra rural que desarrolla su carrera como docente exitosa en Chile y el mundo. Por otro lado, su discurso, aplicado a su práctica pedagógica –no como pedagogía dentro del aula, sino como enseñanza a la sociedad que la rodea en amplio espectro–, involucra abrazar fuertemente la paz como un valor. Como consecuencia de ello, el resultado global es la capacidad de Gabriela Mistral para superar la discriminación y propiciar el intercambio comunicativo entre las comunidades del mundo. Además, en la misma línea, la defensa de la paz es un deber y, por ello, nuestra sociedad debe ser educada para su férrea defensa, incluso, y principalmente, en tiempos de guerra.

Fruit growing has played a huge role in solving food supply issues in many coutries. However, the yield and quality of fruits can be affected by various diseases, and thus timely and accurate identification of disease conditions is particularly important. Currently, using image recognition and object detection technology to diagnose fruit tree diseases has become a research hotspot in forestry informatization. Convolutional neural networks eliminate the preprocessing of manual feature selection and have high recognition performance. However, it is not easy to train due to the risk of gradient disappearance. In order to achieve better recognition effect, this research addresses the problem of applying small-scale data samples through data enhancement and transfer learning, and it optimizes the model by combining the two main attention mechanisms of SE and CBAM with ResNet50. Through experiments, it is found that the CBAM ResNet50 model has the best effect, improving the application performance of the studied model in actual scenarios.

Authors: Savira Deandra , Zainul Rahadian
Published: May 2023

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of plate variations 4//4 and 5//5 Al/Cu on the performance of hydrogen gas generators. The method used is electrolysis using electrolytes H2O and CH3COONa. The result obtained is that the 4/4 Al/Cu electrode plate variation is more effective in producing hydrogen gas during electrolysis than the 5/5 al/cu electrode plate variation. The 4/4 plate variation produces hydrogen gas with 8 ml and 102 ml of H2O and CH3COONa electrolytes, respectively. The use of electrolytes in the form of salt and variations of the electrode plates during the electrolysis process affect the yield of hydrogen gas produced using a hydrogen generator.

A Buddha – a megnevezés elterjedésének történeti rekonstrukciója korai páli és kínai szövegek vizsgálatán keresztül
Authors: Wessely-Fenyvesi Boglárka
Published: May 2023

Ma magától értetődőnek hat a buddhizmus alapítóját és kulcsfiguráját a Buddhaként említeni. A megvilágosodott Gotama remetének egyértelműen ez a legáltalánosabb és legelterjedtebb titulusa, függetlenül attól, hogy nyugati vagy keleti, vallásos vagy tudományos kontextusban kerül elő a név. A páli Tipiṭaka korai rétegei és a korai kínai fordítások azonban arra engednek következtetni, hogy ez nem volt mindig így. E tanulmány a fenti jelenséget eredményező folyamatot vizsgálja a páli Majjhima-, Saṃyutta- és Khuddaka-nikāya bizonyos részei, illetve egyes korai kínai buddhista fordítások segítségével.
Szamantabhadra bódhiszattva szerepe és jelentősége az Avatamszaka-szútrában
Authors: Hamar Imre
Published: May 2023

Szamantabhadra bódhiszattva a mahájána buddhizmus égi bódhiszattváinak egyike, a kelet-ázsiai buddhizmusban az i. sz. V. század óta tisztelet tárgya, akit számos módon jelenítenek meg a kelet-ázsiai művészetben. A rá vonatkozó első forrás a Lótusz szútra, amelyet Dharmaraksa fordított le először kínaira 286-ban Zheng fahua jing 正法華經címmel, később pedig a híres fordító, Kumáradzsíva (344–413) fordította le ismét 406-ban Miaofa lianhua jing 妙法蓮華經 címmel. Szamantabhadra a Lótusz szútra utolsó, „Szamantabhadra bódhiszattva buzdítása” (Puxian pusa quanfa pin 普賢菩薩勸發品) című fejezetében jelenik meg, amely a szútra gyakorlására ösztönzi a híveket. Feltehetően a Lótusz szútra hatása alatt íródott a Szamantabhadra vizualizációs szútrája (Guan Puxian pusa xingfa jing 觀普賢菩薩行法經, T.277) című mű, amely rendkívül részletes leírását adja Szamantabhadra megjelenésének hatagyarú elefántján. Ez az apokrif szöveg vizualizációs gyakorlatok elemeit tartalmazza, amelyek vélhetően Belső-Ázsiából származnak, valamint egy bűnbánat rituálét, amely az ebben az életben és az előzőekben elkövetett minden bűntől való megszabadulást tesz lehetővé. Szamantabhadra kultuszának harmadik forrása a Buddhávatamszaka-szútra, amelyet Buddhabhadra (359–429) fordított le kínaira 420-ban hatvan tekercsben, majd a Siksánanda (652–710) 699-ben nyolcvan tekercsben. A szöveg sajátossága, hogy a Buddha tanítását elsősorban bódhiszattvák közvetítik benne. Ezek egyike Szamantabhadra, aki a mű több mint harmadában beszél Buddha helyett. A Buddhávatamszaka-szútra két fejezete is említi Szamantabhadra nevét. Az egyik a „Szamantabhdra szamádhija” (Puxian sanmei普賢三昧), a másik a „Szamantabhadra gyakorlata” (Puxian xing 普賢行). A szútra IX. századi tibeti fordítása egy másik, „Szamantabhadra tanítása” című fejezetet is tartalmaz (Kun tu bzang po’i spyod pa bstan pa), amely a szútra egyik kínai fordításában sem található meg. Siksánanda azonban önálló műként kínaira fordította ezt a művet Da fangguang Puxian suo shuo jing 大方廣普賢所說經 (T. 298) címmel. A jelen tanulmány a „Szamantabhadra szamádhija” és a „Szamantabhadra tanítása” című fejezetek kínai változatának magyar fordítását tartalmazza a tibeti variánsokkal egybevetve.
A huatou 話頭 chan buddhista meditációra vonatkozó fogalom vizsgálata X–XII. századi szövegekben
Authors: Keller Mirella
Published: May 2023

A huatou 話頭 ('kulcsmondat') fogalom a chan buddhizmus egyik jellegzetes meditációs technikájára utal. A tanulmány a huatou használati és szemantikait változásait vizsgálja különböző X–XII. századi chan szövegekben.A huatou kifejezés már az első chan gong’an 公案 (jap. kōan) gyűjteményben is előfordult, vagyis a többnyire mesterek és tanítványaik közötti interakciókat lejegyző történetek, példázatok gyűjteményében, név szerint a 952-ben összeállított Zutang ji 祖堂集 (A pátriárkák csarnokának gyűjteménye) című szöveggyűjteményben. A huatou jelentőssége Dahui Zonggao 大慧宗杲 (1089–1163) tanításainak köszönhetően változott jelentősen, szerinte ugyanis a huatou a gong’an egyesszenciális egysége, a szituáció kulcspontja, s egyben az általa tanított meditációs technika alapja.Jelen tanulmány célja, egyfeleől, hogy a huatou kifejezés különböző szövegforrásokban való előfordulásait megvizsgálva, illetve szövegpéldák bemutatásával történeti áttekintést nyújtson a fogalom szemantikai alakulását illetően. Célja, másfelől, hogy rámutasson, a kifejezés mindig is fellelhető volt a chan gong’an irodalomban, ezzel bemutatva, hogy a Dahui Zonggao-féle meditációs technikaként való használátot a chan buddhizmusban milyen történeti fázisok előzték meg.
Kelet és Nyugat találkozása Hishida Shunsō Samantabhadra ábrázolásán
Authors: Kiss Mónika
Published: May 2023

Hishida Shunsō 菱田春草 (1874–1911) a Meiji-kori nihonga festők egyik első generációjához tartozott. Ezt az „új” stílust, avagy műfajt a nyugati festészeti stílusok és technikák gyors terjedésével szemben a hagyományos japán festészetet megmentő irányzatként állították be. Bár a Shunsō művészete iránti érdeklődés az elmúlt néhány évtizedben folyamatosan nőtt Japánban, még mindig meglehetősen ismeretlen a nyugati kutatók körében, és ez különösen igaz a buddhista festményeire.A jelen tanulmányban egy ilyen buddhista témájú festményt vizsgálok meg. A festmény a Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva) címet viseli, és egy fiatal fiút ábrázol, aki egy elefánt tetején olvas. Maga a festmény nem közismert és a datálása is kérdéses, ezért bizonyítékokkal alátámasztva érvelek amellett, hogy 1903 előtt készült, amikor is a szintén nihonga festő és barát Yokoyama Taikannal 横山大観 (1868–1958) Indiába utazott, hogy felfedezze a kortárs indiai (vallásos) művészetet. Ez az utazás kétségkívül változást hozott a stílusában, főként, ami a buddhista témájú festményeit illeti. A tanulmány fő tézise, hogy a Fugen-festmény határvonalat jelent Shunsō vallásos festményeiben, és megállapítható, hogy stilisztikailag különbözik az indiai tartózkodás után készült festményeitől. Ezen buddhista istenség ábrázolásának számos hagyományos gyökere van, azonban itt egy ikonográfiai szempontból hibrid formával találkozunk, amelyben keverednek a zen festészetben általános Shaka-háromságok előzményei a kevésbé ismert és elterjedt Chigo Fugen (Samantabhadra fiatal fiúként ábrázolva) megjelenítésével. Shunsō szembeállította az elefánt realista ábrázolását a hagyományosan kivitelezett kontúros fiúképpel, ezért ez a festmény az egyik legjobb példa arra, hogy a nihongaművészek hogyan ötvözték keleti (jelen esetben japán) örökségüket a nyugati művészeti technikákkal és anyagokkal, amelyeket újonnan kerültek át Japánba a Meiji-korban.
