Heat energy transport characteristics of microchannel reactors for hydrogen production by steam-methanol reforming on copper-based catalysts
Authors: CHEN Junjie
Published: June 2023

Numerical simulations are carried out to understand the heat energy transport characteristics of microchannel reactors for hydrogen production by steam-methanol reforming on copper-based catalysts. Enthalpy analysis is performed and the evolution of energy in the oxidation and reforming processes is discussed in terms of reaction heat flux. The effects of solid thermal conductivity, gas velocity, and flow arrangement on the thermal behavior of the reactor is evaluated in order to fully describe the thermal energy change in the reactor. The results indicate that the thermal behavior of the reactor depends upon the thermal properties of the walls. The change in enthalpy is of particular importance in exothermic and endothermic reactions. The net enthalpy change for oxidation and reforming is negative and positive, but the net sensible enthalpy change is always positive in the reactor. The wall
heat conduction effect accompanying temperature changes is important to the autothermal design and self-sustaining operation of the reactor. The solid thermal conductivity is of great importance in determining the operation and efficiency of the reactor. The reaction proceeds rapidly and efficiently only at high solid thermal conductivity. The reaction heat flux for oxidation and reforming is positive and negative. The change in flow arrangement significantly affects the reaction heat flux in the reactor. The parallel flow design is advantageous for purposes of enhancing heat transfer and avoiding localized hot spots.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Belcher Cedric
Published: June 2023

Problem. Elders are assigned to preach on Sabbath in the absence of the pastor in the Alexandria District of the Southwest Region Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Though some have been preaching for many years, many have not had additional training in preaching. Method. The training program was designed to inform and offer practical skills on how to preach expository sermons. To demonstrate mastery of the training content, elders preached two in-seminar sermons. The better of the two sermons was preached in the elder’s respective church. Results. The elders showed significant improvement in their inseminar-preaching. Their respective churches acknowledged the improvement. Conclusions Elders can improve their preaching skills when properly trained. Properly trained elders can preach with confidence and guarantee that an empowered elder is preaching every Sabbath.
Cross-Cultural Servant-Leadership for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Papua New Guinea
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Poli Loren
Published: June 2023

Problem Providing leadership for a diverse Papua New Guinea (PNG) remains a challenge for the Seventh-day Adventist church. There are more than 750 languages in current use and yet very little is being done to provide representation or give consideration to the cultural differences. Method A mixed-method research, both qualitative and quantitative, that included a review of literature, interviews, case studies, and a survey designed for use in PNG was used to conduct this research designed to explore and identify the knowledge of leadership from the context of PNG and how that understanding influences the support, perceptions, and practices of the Church.. Results/Findings PNG, despite its diversity, is grouped into two main people groups: the Austronesians and the non-Austronesians. Scholars in the area of anthropology have thus identified two cultural leadership practices that are dominant in PNG: Big Man and Chieftancy—and a cause for the tension. Research substantiates that developing a cross-cultural servant model of leadership that speaks to the diversity in PNG sensitive to the issues of respect, fairness, justice, and unity is paramount for leadership practices to succeed. Conclusions PNG, composed of diverse people groups, will experience difficulties if led strictly from either a Chieftancy or Big Man mindset. Both practices, however, thrive on serving others. The first step in providing servant-leadership training is to develop a process based on the biblical model. The Jesus model, if followed, would unify the leadership for the Seventh-day Adventist church in PNG and its associate area, the South Pacific Division and the Seventh-day Adventist Church at-large.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Huerta Antonio
Published: June 2023

Problem The Fresno Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church has a 65 year history in the city of Fresno. From the year of 1995 until the year of 2005 when I became the pastor for this church, I realized that the numeric growth rate in this congregation had dropped significantly. I soon became aware of the urgent need for a comprehensive analysis that would enable the Fresno Spanish Church to regain its growth momentum. Method The solution and the vision to solve the problem was the development and the implementation of a small group program that would help train, equip, and mobilize church members for ministry. The research began with the study of the literature on church growth and on how to turn around declining churches. A small group program was developed and implemented with as well trained team composed of dedicated church members. The recruiting and equipping of the team leaders took six months and once equipped and organized, the program was launched for a period of one year. Results The small group program to foster numeric growth at the Fresno Spanish Church was implemented in the year of 2007. The results were outstanding. The program impacted the life of the church and the congregation experienced much success. The morale among member improved and the church experienced numerical growth. On the year the small group program was implemented, the church experienced a 300 percent growth in membership. In addition to numeric growth, different outreach ministries were established and new leaders were developed to assist in the various community church programs. Conclusion The small group program implemented in the Fresno Spanish Church to foster numeric growth, I believe, can be replicated in other churches with similar challenges,especially in those churches were its leaders have a desire to positive impact their communities with the gospel of Christ
An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of The Experiencing The Joy Program In Attracting And Connecting With Postmoderns In The Richmond Hill Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Baker David
Published: June 2023

Problem The Richmond Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church has not been successful in attracting post-modern young adults. Pastoral observation suggests that a potential contributing factor is that doctrinal study guides are not effective for reaching young adults. Post-modems are very visually oriented and place an emphasis on the need for experiential learning. In order to be effective, Bible studies targeting post-modem young adults need to focus on a combination of experiential discussions, relationships and individuality. These three areas are the focus of a new video Bible study series that specifically targets post-modem young adults entitled, Experiencing the Joy. Method The method used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Experiencing the Joy program in attracting and connecting with post-modern young adults was through a project conducted in the Richmond Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church comparing one lesson of the Experiencing the Joy study with one lesson of Search for Certainty study and documenting the results. The second part of the method was to implement the Experiencing the Joy program into the Richmond Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church with a group of young adults and document the results. The third part was to request pastors of area churches to implement the Experiencing the Joy program into their ministry and document the results. Results The result showed that the Experiencing the Joy program was an effective tool for attracting and connecting with young adults. This tool was proven more effective at attracting and connecting with young adults than the traditional Bible study during the project conducted at Richmond Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church. The program was successfully implemented into the Richmond Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Experiencing the Joy program was successfully implemented into the College Park Elementary School with the grade 8 students and additional high school students; the young adult group meeting at the Harmony Seventh-day Adventist Church; the young adults meeting at the Immanuel Seventh-day Adventist Church; the Kitchener-Waterloo Seventh-day Adventist Church; and the Kingsway College students. Conclusions The Experiencing the Joy program is an effective tool for reaching postmodern young adults. The churches that have implemented these studies provide positive feedback in their ongoing use of the Experiencing the Joy program.
The Ministerial Leadership Development Program At Lakeview Adventist College In Malawi
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Khonje Earnest
Published: June 2023

Problem The Ministerial Leadership Training program at Lakeview Adventist College has operated for over 28 years. Since the late 1990s, there has been little in the curriculum that prepared leadership to meet challenges in the field, especially in management and administration. The period 1997-2006 has seen the exit of more ministers than during the years 1980-1996. Method This study used surveys, interviews and questionnaires. Survey questions were formed to be answered by pastors in training as well as by those who have already completed training. Therefore, focus groups were organized for those at the College and for those serving as pastors. Interviews were conducted with two pastor-administrators, two non-pastor administrators, five shepherdesses and three retired ministers. Each focus group consisted of four to seven persons of the 18 and older. Population groups that participated were comprised of young adults (18-34), middle-aged adults (35-54), and older adults (55+). Results Differences were found in studying the two groups of ministers (the group from 1981-1996, compared to the group from 1997-2006). The first group lived during a time when technology was not advanced, nor were democratic and human rights issues what they are today. The second group had the advantage of more leadership training and many young adults attracted to and entering ministry. Also, women are becoming more accepted to be district pastors. Lastly, essential leadership skills have now been introduced into the theological curriculum. Conclusion The leadership curriculum, if constantly reviewed and evaluated, will produce new ideas and increased skills in handling modem pastoral work. Young people who want to become ministers should be more academically and spiritually qualified. Fields should provide bursaries for leadership training, with recruitment and selection based on an individual’s call and qualification to ministry. Ministers should be provided with better facilities, and should implement and use management principles to help them face contemporary challenges encountered in ministry leadership. However, little was found in the current curriculum to explain the exit of ministers from service.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Luwani Elphes
Published: June 2023

Problem The South Malawi Field membership for 2005 was characterized by an annual growth rate of just 3 percent, which was quite low compared to other parts of the Malawi Union. Furthermore, 74 pastors and their laity baptized only 164 members total on average while apostasies claimed as high as 26 persons per year. Therefore, this research aims at discovering the effect that equipping pastors and church leaders with effective leadership skills might have on addressing the challenges that seem to inhibit growth in the South Malawi Field. Method A body of up-to-date literature focusing on leadership and management skills applicable to the work of pastors and church leaders will be reviewed. This will involve a critical examination of spiritual journals, books, as well as extending to the vernacular literature. The extent to which the various elements of effective leadership skills are practiced in the South Malawi Field will be examined by use of a questionnaire survey By means of interviews, a selected sample will be drawn from a population of pastors and church leaders of the South Malawi Field. Statistics will be drawn and thematic data analyses will be employed to reveal the results. Results The expected results emerging from this research include the following: prioritized or ranked list of leadership skills for pastors and church leaders that will effectively address the membership growth challenges of the South Malawi Field. The extent to which the various elements or variables of leadership skills are practiced in South Malawi Field by attributes (experience, education level, location and tribe served) are discussed and recommendations made. Conclusion The aim of the project is to develop and implement a strategy for leadership development for the South Malawi Field pastors and church leaders to enable them to serve more effectively for the growth of the church in South Malawi Field. Conclusions are drawn from the results and the extent to which effective leadership skills are practiced for the South Malawi Field. The Malawi Union was benefited by the results of the seminars that were conducted during implementation of this study. In the same way, countries outside Malawi are expected to benefit through general application of the findings.
Proposed Solution to the Problem of Member Retention for the South Sao Paulo Conference
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ferreira Nilson
Published: June 2023

Problem. The South São Paulo Conference loses an average of 32 percent of its members per year as a result of dissatisfaction with the church. According to the Office of Archives and Statistics of the Central Brazilian Union, the South São Paulo Conference baptized 2,057 people in 2004 and 797 dropped out of the church, resulting in a 38 percent church dropout rate in that year. In 2005, the conference baptized 2,516 people and 1,000 dropped out, for a disaffiliation rate of 39 percent. In 2006, 2,746 were baptized and 456 dropped out, for a disaffiliation rate of 19 percent. In 2007, the conference baptized 2,904 people and 1,010 dropped out, a disaffiliation rate of 35 percent. In 2008, the conference baptized 3,029 people and 927 dropped out, resulting in a disaffiliation rate of 31 percent. In 2009, the conference baptized 3,258 people and 844 dropped out, for a disaffiliation rate of 27 percent. The loss of membership in this conference is a problem that needs to be addressed. Method. The research method used to conduct this study was the quantitative survey approach, as presented by the Handbook of Research Design and Social Measurement. For the purpose of this study, 100 former Seventh-day Adventists from four congregations in the South São Paulo Conference were selected to participate in the survey. These former members voluntarily participated in the survey and answered questions regarding their reasons for leaving the church. Results. A discipleship seminar was created and implemented that produced an environment of spiritual acceptance among church members. Once the participants understood the meaning of discipleship, especially the new converts, they demonstrated confidence in the program and became engaged with it. They understood that this seminar was helpful to them as a significant spiritual tool to strengthen their faith. Conclusions. This document describes and records the development, implementation, and evaluation of a proposed solution to the problem of member retention for the South São Paulo Conference in Brazil. It has been evaluated as to its practicality and potential as a successful member retention program among the Seventh-day Adventist churches in the South São Paulo Conference. This model is an approach that complements rather than competes with other methods to retain members within the church.
Reigniting the Lifecycle of Plateauing Churches in Brazil Through a Prayer-Based Intensive Growth Approach
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ferreira Otoniel
Published: June 2023

Purpose of the Project. This project seeks to create and develop a comprehensive prayer-based evangelism strategy to reignite the lifecycle in plateauing churches in Brazil. Through this project, pastors, church leaders, members and new members will be motivated and equipped to experience a better prayer life. Method. The method used for this study was based on qualitative research: a review of prayer as it is presented in the Bible, theoretical texts on prayer, and practical books written by prominent Christian authors, and a comprehensive study of the lifecycle of some Seventh-day Adventist churches in Brazil. These profiles were studied and data collected in order to better understand the strategies currently being practiced and identify those needed to help reignite churches. Results. The research indicated that prayer and spiritual nurture are critical to the development of a prayer ministry. Prayer was found to be a priority for administrators, local leaders, and laity in successful churches. The steps needed to develop a culture of prayer and evangelism were identified. It was substantiated that, given that culture refers to a way of life, whatever the church does must be done in light of the intense desire to save the lost. One of the most successful outreach, supported by literature and the study of the Adventist churches in Brazil, is that of prayer-based evangelism. Recommendations. The following steps must be followed in order to provide the components of a prayer-based evangelism in Brazil: (1) Develop a prayer-based intensive growth strategy in order to reignite the lifecycle of churches that are plateaued or in a decline toward death. (2) Acknowledge that we are all in need of a Savior and that “sinners reaching out to sinners” in an atmosphere of prayer is the culture needed. (3) Clarify the steps that can be incorporated by any group of seekers of an intensive prayer life. (4) Motivate the church to fulfill the great mission of sharing God with others. (5) Make the process practical. (6) Encourage relationship building among the members as preparation for interacting outside the church community. Conclusions. The intent of this project was to show that the ministry of evangelistic prayer as a base in the church increases the likelihood that all other ministries will work better. Also, faithfulness and stewardship will increase, as the prayer ministry becomes a part of the culture of a church. The resulting spiritual life of the members will be reflected in the growth of the church, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Prayer-based evangelism includes putting into practice the following: prayer, spiritual nurture, evangelism, and discipleship.
The Implementation and Evaluation of the Spiritual Leadership Curriculum Joshua's Men in the Williamsport Pennsylvania Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Grove Thomas
Published: June 2023

Problem. In order for the Seventh-day Adventist Church to continue to be effective in its mission to its communities, new leaders must be developed in the local church. While there are many ways to impart skills to potential leaders, developing them as spiritual leaders is a unique task. One program, designed and written by Dr. Dan Reiland seems to fulfill this task. Joshua’s Men is a spiritual leadership curriculum which uses mentoring to develop leaders in the local church. The first edition was published in 1996. Reiland wrote a second edition which was released in 2006. Is this program effective? Does it develop spiritual leaders in the church? Can it be implemented in a small-sized church, where there is a restricted pool of potential leaders? This project evaluates Reiland’s second edition of the Joshua’s Men spiritual leadership curriculum to determine its effectiveness in developing spiritual leaders in the local church. Method. The method used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Joshua’s Men spiritual leadership curriculum in implementing the second edition of the program was measuring the effect it had on the lives of the participants. Four men from the Williamsport Seventh-day Adventist Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania participated in this project. Three tools were used to measure the results: interviews, a monthly survey and a Personal Leadership Assessment. Results. The results showed the effectiveness of the program in developing these four men as spiritual leaders. The monthly evaluations, interviews and the Personal Leadership Assessment revealed that the topics, monthly presentations and the reading material used, as a whole, were valuable. The participants also indicated they were applying in their everyday lives what they had learned. This was confirmed in the year end interviews with both the participants and their spouses, which noted that spiritual growth had occurred as a result of their involvement in the program. Conclusions. Joshua’s Men is an effective spiritual leadership curriculum which helps facilitate the development of spiritual leaders in the local church. The success of this curriculum is found not only in its relevant topics and easy implementation but also in the fact that it uses mentoring as its basis. This combination of strengths makes Joshua’s Men a very effective tool in developing spiritual leaders in the local church.

Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Fransch Eugene
Published: June 2023

Problem The youth department of the Southern Affican-Indian Ocean Division of the Seventh-day Adventist church (SID) has noticed a growing trend of frustration and ineffectiveness among local church youth leaders in their yearly church planning. This has lead to a high turnover rate among them due to a lack of adequate materials, poor program planning, and a clear knowledge of the department’s objectives to guide them in their planning. Methodology The purpose of the research was to implement a Youth Leadership Training Manual for church youth leaders that would help them overcome their current frustrations and assist them in planning their yearly programs by incorporating the AY Department’s objectives. Two churches in the Gauteng region were targeted to pilot this program. A mixed methods approach was used. Structured interviews and surveys were conducted among various youth leaders, elders, and youth of the Gauteng region and the youth they lead. Results This study had a positive impact among the youth leaders and their youth of the targeted churches and has empowered these leaders to effectively plan programs that fulfil the objectives of the Adventist Youth Department using Adventist youth material. Conclusions The piloted training manual will serve as a model to be used in the SID region of the church to empower and guide church youth leaders to realize their leadership gifts and experience joy and confidence in leading their youth. This research has assisted me in the development of leadership skills targeted to the youth leaders and youth of our church in the SID region.
Application of Biblical Worship Principles in the New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nairobi, Kenya
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Masimba Thomas
Published: June 2023

Problem. The New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church has practiced the traditional style of worship since its establishment in 1986. In this style of worship, reverence is expressed through silence, and both emotional expression and congregational response are discouraged. Neither clapping of hands nor applauding ministers is acceptable. Seemingly, the new generation of members has embraced the opposite. As a result, the church is experiencing a conflict as to which style of worship should be observed. Methods. A literature review of contemporary authors, the Bible, historical Adventist writings, commentaries, and relevant articles concerning style of worship were examined. A questionnaire was developed and administered to ascertain the attitude of members in the New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church relative to traditional and contemporary worship, and to how the conflict could be resolved in a biblical way that would enhance church unity. Results. The results gathered from the questionnaires that were administered in the New Life SDA Church indicated that there was general support for contemporary worship across age differences. Many who indicated strong or very strong support for contemporary worship also reported satisfaction with the traditional model. Overall, 66% of the church indicated support for the contemporary model, which leaves 34% either neutral or favoring the traditional model, thus revealing the possibility for significant conflict over the issue of worship style in the New Life SDA church. Conclusions. For the New Life SDA Church to adhere to its missional purpose and maintain church unity while understanding what the Bible speaks about true worship, there is an urgent need for education and intervention by means of a seminar on the biblical worship principles to establish a theological foundation for the practice of worship.
Implementation of a Guest Retention Process in the Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church for Maximal Evangelism Effectiveness
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Madding Timothy
Published: June 2023

Problem. The Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church attracts approximately 250 first-time guests through its doors each year. Of these approximately 5% are actually connecting to the church through membership. The local church has no organized, effective means of connecting these guests to the church and Christ, therefore great growth potential is being squandered. The intention of this project is to increase the evangelistic impact of Louisville First and other Seventh-day Adventist churches in metropolitan areas by increasing the number of first-time guests to membership ratio. Method. A guest retention process was developed and implemented in 2010 at the Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, which consisted of: (a) a training of the church leadership to provide awareness and authorization, (b) a four-part sermon series to introduce the biblical foundations and details of the guest retention process to the whole congregation, (c) a training seminar to give basic hospitality training to the members of the hospitality team, and (d) a training for the follow-up of guests at Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church. The guest retention process was then tested to measure its effectiveness. Results. The overall guest retention process training brought greater awareness of biblical hospitality and the attendance of guests at Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church. The pre- and post-evaluation instrument also showed that the guest retention process was perceived to be more successful at evangelism effectiveness. Conclusion. The guest retention process project proved to be a valuable training resource in the Louisville First Seventh-day Adventist Church. This resource might be a valuable training tool for other locations as well.
A Strategy for Poverty Reduction Among Seventh-day Adventist Members in Kenya
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Nyagwoka Joseph
Published: June 2023

Problem. Poverty is a challenge in Kenya today and is significantly impacting the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This problem is reflected in recent tithe and offering reports that suggest that the majority of the Seventh-day Adventist members and new converts in Kenya do not have a regular source of income. Hence, there is a need for local congregations to address this problem of poverty. Method. In this study current literature dealing with poverty has been reviewed and analyzed. This includes books, journal articles, programs, reports, and internet materials. The available data from the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist church is used. Additionally, other poverty surveys done by the Kenya government and other nongovernmental organizations are utilized. From this analysis, recommendations will be made for seminars that will be conducted for pastors and lay leaders. This will include designed programs for the poor combined with a strategy for poverty reduction that can be used for the SDA church in Kenya. Expectations. This project will challenge the minds of the poor and liberate them to participate in the elimination of poverty. It will help in the development of a program that can be used by pastors and lay leaders to conduct seminars on poverty reduction within the Adventist churches in Kenya. The project will also provide a long-term strategy on poverty reduction among Church members which is in harmony with the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy principles. It will also help the local Adventist churches to realize their mission, through the tool of poverty reduction. Conclusion. The created strategy is made in the context of Christian growth; there is a way for poverty reduction that enhances wealth creation in the churches of third world countries. At this particular time there is an urgent call to the SDA church, especially in the developing countries, to be self-reliant, self-supporting, and rely less on the appropriations from the world church. The way the church can respond to this call is by empowering its members to create income-generating projects in Kenya.

TPATIENTS IN SEVENTEENTH CENTURY RUSSIA: FROM THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE TO SOCIAL HISTORY
Authors:   Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Khudin Kirill
Published: June 2023

The article focuses on a new view of the social history of medicine through the eyes of patients, not just those of physicians. This vision has not yet gained currency in Early Modern Russia research, although the concept itself was proposed by British historiography back in the 1980s. The article reviews the records of the Apothecary Chancery. They make it possible to see that the pool of customers of health care services in 17th-century Russia was much larger than reported by other sources. In addition, the new approach detects vertical-horizontal bracing cage of communication channels between patients, through which the European medical knowledge moved into Russian society. The article formulates several issues that require further research (using quantitative methods) into the social profile of patients in 17th-century Russia.
“SHEDDING YOUR TEARS INSTEAD OF YOUR BLOOD”: A BLOODLESS MARTYRDOM IN THE LIFE AND LITERARY WORK OF SYMEON THE NEW THEOLOGIAN
Authors:   Independent researcher, Ushakov Alexander
Published: June 2023

The article examines the emergence and development of the theologema martyrium sine cruorum in its connection with the idea of imitation of Christ (μίμησις Χριστοῦ) in Eastern Christian ascetic literature, and the interpretation of this theologema in the Life and literary work of the Byzantine mystic of the 10th – 11th centuries Symeon the New Theologian. The article shows the relationship between the theologema of bloodless martyrdom and the ideas of ascetic selflessness, the idea of pastoral care, anthropological phenomena of ascetic practices, the problem of authority and power in the religious consciousness of Byzantine society, the desire to translate the ascetic ideal in the mass consciousness. As a result of the analysis of the sources, the following conclusions were made: μίμησις Χριστοῦ and the idea of bloodless martyrdom associated with it in the Byzantine tradition had a considerable didactic and educational significance in hagiographic and theological literature. The deeds of martyrdom included the enduring of various temptations and overcoming difficulties that led one to communication with God. Through pastoral care, this model was translated into the public consciousness of the Byzantines and became an active practice. The imitatio principle determined both literary and behavioral models of the Middle Ages in both the West and the East.

Анотація. Тренувальний процес виступає як елемент цілісної річної підготовки та ґрунтується на даних про стан спортсменок. Це дозволяє розглядати всі структурні елементи побудови тренувального процесу у зв’язку один з одним і як доповнення кожного. На основі цього розробляють різні варіанти річного циклу відповідно до вимог спортивного календаря. Мета. Розглянути основні підходи та закономірності побудови і програмування тренувального процесу та розробити схеми етапу безпосередньої підготовки до чемпіонату світу та Європи спортсменок у черліденгу. Методи. Аналіз науково-методичної літератури та даних мережі Інтернет, метод моделювання, систематизація та узагальнення. Результати. Раціональна побудова підготовки спортсменок передбачає планомірне підвищення рівня їхньої підготовленості, відносну стабілізацію. Під час планування тренувального процесу враховували, що кожне тренувальне заняття з великим чи значним навантаженням певної спрямованості викликає активну реакцію організму спортсмена. Для формування адаптації систематично виконували навантаження відповідного обсягу та спрямованості протягом тривалого часу. Тривалість та інтенсивність тренувальної роботи з великими і значними навантаженнями відповідної спрямованості в поєднанні з заняттями іншої спрямованості, відновленням, відповідали адаптаційним можливостям спортсмена. В такому випадку формувався найвищий відставлений тренувальний ефект. Розроблено алгоритм побудови етапу безпосередньої підготовки до змагань, який містив складові: аналіз календаря змагань; розрахунок кількості днів між головними та відбірковими змаганнями; обґрунтування тривалості етапу безпосередньої підготовки до змагань (ЕБПЗ) – п’ять–вісім тижнів; розрахунок мезоциклів для етапу у співвідношенні: 3-3, 2-2-2, 3-3-2; планований обсяг та спрямованість навантажень для мезоциклів. ЕБПЗ до чемпіонату світу з черліденгу 2023 р. становив шість тижнів для одного макроциклу, містив два мезоцикли по три тижні (контрольно-підготовчий та передзмагальний). ЕБПЗ до чемпіонату Європи з черліденгу 2023 р. був розрахований на сім тижнів та містив два мезоцикли: контрольно-підготовчий (чотири тижні) та передзмагальний мезоцикл – три тижні. Отримані дані підтверджують напрацювання фахівців у різних видах спорту щодо планування передзмагального мезоциклу як етапу звуження для досягнення відставленого тренувального ефекту. Це дозволило раціонально здійснити програмування тренувального процесу дуету в черліденгу.

Ключові слова: черліденг, програмування, побудова, тренувальний процес, етап безпосередньої підготовки до змагань.

Aqila Wash Station is a micro business that washes motorcycles, mats and carpet in Deli Tua, a sub-district in North Sumatra province. Washing motorcycle may consume a large amount of time and this decreases customers’ satisfaction. The whole process is performed manually using very simple tools and this tires the workers quickly, which results in a decrease in their work quality. The most common problem that workers face is soap depletion. The next problem is compressor machine becomes hard to initiate, which makes the washing duration longer and may even cause customers to go to another motorcycle wash station. This service activity helps the wash station by providing a compressor machine and a set of hydraulic tools to raise and lower the motorcycle. The floor, where the motorbike is washed, is leveled, and then a steam machine and soap are provided. This service activity also includes giving assistance to the workers, rotating the material given, providing internships chance to students, and teaching few concepts of science and technology. It is expected that workers effectiveness will improve the work quality of Aqila Wash Station.

Authors: Seck Mamarame
Published: June 2023

This study explores the unstudied rich Wolof Sufi oral cultural productions and their contribution to the knowledge about Islam in Senegal. It only focuses on oral production by Sufi leaders and their followers. This consists of an oral corpus of the life stories of past and current Sufi leaders, woven by multiple (re) tellers across generations, designed in such a way that they can give Sufi adepts examples to follow and, possibly, reproduce. The storytelling varies according to the speaker’s skills and charisma, the audience’s expectations and context of the performance. The combination of all these factors makes the structure of the stories unique, especially compared to those coming from western cultures. Keywords: Narrative, Sufism in Senegal, Sufi oral Production, Islam in Senegal.
The Doctrine of One Actor: Junayd’s View of Unity (Tawhīd)

Published: June 2023

İlk sûfîler arasındaki en göze çarpan figür, Cüneyd’dir. Zîrâ Cüneyd, tasavvufun ana akımının teşekkülüne o devirdeki diğer herhangi bir şahıstan daha fazla katkı sağlamıştır. XIII. yüzyılın meşhur Hintli âlim ve sûfîsi olan Şâh Veliyullah (ö. 1176/1762) tasavvufun gelişimi hakkındaki son derece aydınlatıcı olan değerlendirmesinde Cüneyd’in katkısını aşağıdaki alıntıda olduğu gibi tasvir eder: Bütün tarîkat müessisleri ve tasavvuf akîdesinin şârihleri veya en azından bunların çoğunluğu her ne kadar amelî tahakkuklarındaki yöntem konusunda birbirlerinden farklılık arz etseler de tarîkatin ana esasları üzerinde ittifâk etmişlerdir. Bu ana esaslar seyyidü’t- tâife Cüneyd ismi ile ilişkilidir. Şöyle ki, bu esasların çoğu onun tarafından formüle edilmiştir. Kendi çağındaki sûfîler ona râcîdir. Hattâ hiçbir şeyhe ihtiyaç duymayan pîrler (Üveysîler) dışındaki bütün tarîkatler ondan çıkar.1

Authors: Воронова Олена , Марущак Світлана , Пугачов Микола
Published: June 2023

Стаття присвячена дослідженню причин та економічних наслідків для держав фінансово-економічних криз. В дослідженні виділено фактори виникнення економічних кризових явищ. Здійснено класифікацію світових фінансових криз. У дослідженні визначено ключові макроекономічні індикатори економічних криз та інструменти контролю за їх динамікою, що дозволяє своєчасно визначати ймовірність виникнення системних економічних криз з метою розробки управлінських рішень щодо їх попередження та недопущення переростання з локальних у регіональні та глобальні. На основі ретроспективного дослідження історії світової фінансової кризи та аналізу наукових джерел, основними макроекономічними показниками, які свідчать про розвиток фінансової кризи, є стан платіжного балансу, відношення зовнішнього боргу до ВВП, рівень волатильності обмінного курсу та відношення міжнародних резервів до приросту імпорту.
