Church Offerings during Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case Study in GKII Tandang
Authors: Objantoro Enggar , Susanto  , Diana Ruat , Katarina  , Darmawan I Putu Ayub
Published: November 2022

This article discusses the factors causing increase in church offerings during the Covid-19 pandemic in Semarang city. The pandemic does not always cause a decrease in a church’s financial revenue, such as that shown in GKII Tandang. Hence, the causal factors need to be found, which necessitated the use of a qualitative method in conducting this research. The data was collected by use of in-depth interviews with 30 informants as respondents. In order to complete the data, the researchers conducted participative and non-participative observations on the social and economic conditions of the congregants. Based on the results, two factors of increased revenues during the pandemic were found. Firstly, the congregants expressed their gratitude through their various offerings. They understood that in times of need, God still took care
of them in various ways. Therefore, they increased their offerings. Secondly, the congregants understood that all their worldly revenues came from God anyway. Thus, they were encouraged to give offerings consistently during the pandemic. The congregants could have the concept of giving offerings as returning God’s privilege due to a successful cultivation of values on their part. This cultivation happened through: 1) Bible studies that have encouraged the building of the congregants’ understanding on church offerings and God’s care, 2) Transformative sermons which enlighten the congregants on their responsibilities of giving church offerings and God’s care
during the pandemic, which in turn decreased the congregants’ worry and generated.

In this study, a control design of the compressor system is analysed in order to demonstrate its characteristics and to improve efficiency. The state space model is constructed by the Moore-Greitzer nonlinear equations. Upstream flow acts as a control loop disorder and the compressor system cannot meet the requirements with flow variance, so it is essential that the controller adapts to the new conditions. Because the control signal is connected to the system output by a nonlinear model, a reset controller is used to control the compressor system. A robust reset controller has designed consistent with the PI + CI method. The robust controller is designed as multi-input-multi-output and uses two throttle control valve and close-coupled valve actuators to apply control signals. Two reset controllers with a harmonious combination in the structure of the compressor system provide the possibility of following the desired pressure and flow states. The proposed controller can stabilize the compressor and increase its efficiency in the event of any disturbance in addition to preventing surge instability. The simulation results show that the reset controller can provide good performance. It is proved that the convergence rate changes with changes in the controller parameters. Finally, the stability of the controller is examined under the most severe conditions.

Exploitation of massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output gains for downlink transmission in Millimetre Wave Systems comes at the expense of obtaining accurate channel estimation and computing complexity. Moreover, the fundamental task of massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output channel estimation is to exploit the characteristics of the channel and sparsity of these multi-antennas systems to simplify complicated spatial structures. We tackle the channel estimation problem in constructing angle domain channel model with multivariate optimization. In the proposed global particle swarm optimization for angle domain aided scheme, the channel estimation design is decoupled into two parts The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over the traditional CS-based channel estimation methods.

There are different research methods, techniques and strategies that are used to study the text. One of such methods is the method of textual analysis, a variety of study approaches used to analyze and comprehend a piece of writing. Understanding media-political texts and avoiding manipulation and information bias requires not only linguistic and extra-linguistic competence, but also awareness of different strategies.
In the present paper, we are aimed to provide an overview of textual analysis as a research tool for studying incidents of manipulation in media news broadcasts from a textological perspective.
LINGUOPOETICS OF EPITHET IN O. HENRY’S SHORT STORIES
Authors: Haroutyunian Sona , Haroutyunian Amalia
Published: November 2022

It is common knowledge that reading literature in the proper sense of the word is rather difficult as it presupposes the ability of the reader not to confine one’s perception to what can be seen on the surface of the text only. The reader’s ability to go deep into the text and reveal the intention of the writer is of prime importance. Many prominent philologists both in our country and abroad have referred to this question, and their investigations have established that the real understanding of a piece of verbal creativity is a step by step process and can be achieved only gradually. This, in fact, is the underlying methodological bases of the present research which aims at studying the use of epithets in O’Henry’s short stories and their role in the linguopoetic organization of the stories. Of particular investigative interest have turned out to be The Last Leaf and The Gift of Magi.

Europian Union and dilemas unresolved balkan
Authors: Kastrati Shqipe , Kastrati Albana
Published: November 2022

The Europian Union is a “sui generis”organization(a special type),which one is evolving over the time.This organization is a conglomerate of nations which have a single goal,the progres of their country,in principle,always working through the advancement of the organization in general. Ways of organizing and the functioning of the EU, with some modifications, the weathered dignity,the challenge of growth.How ever,the changes can only move forward.

Given this fact,we refer to the most important challenge of Europe and his Constitution.Ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon cut”troubled souls”in the EU since it is know that the treaty contained over  70% of the content of the Europian Constitutional Treaty.We can say that the Europian politics,this time has passed the test of challenging which was submitted to the mark the continuation of reforms in contradiction with their slowdown and stagnation.

With the beginning of the democratic development in Easter Europe,the Albanians were the first who asked for their right to self-determination.For European recognition of the new republic crucial was status of a Republic and the combination of the principles of the concept of “European” and that “classic”. When there was not stability in Balkans,when the war in former Yugoslavia started in Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Kosovo was not independent,when the war began in the Presheva Valley,and in Macedonia,Kosovo was not  independent. In a conclusion the answer to this wrong perception would be: the independence of Kosovo has stabilized the Balkans.

O presente trabalho constitui um estudo sobre o caso das crianças filhos de desaparecidos, roubadas durante a última ditadura militar argentina, que recuperaram a sua história na adolescência ou já adultos. Alguns desses jovens relataram a experiência vivida, através de uma série de testemunhos que ficaram registrados num documentário. A partir da escuta desses testemunhos realizei um percurso sustentado na teoria e experiência psicanalítica sobre a importância de testemunhar como agente reconstrutor da própria história, analisei a função do nome próprio como traço essencial na constituição subjetiva e abordei a noção psicanalítica de trauma e do estranho/sinistro (Unheimliche) para pensar os efeitos e marcas da invasão do real na vida daqueles que tiveram que reconstruir suas origens e suas histórias.
Prologue
Authors: Dekoninck Ralph
Published: November 2022

The volume preface takes up the question of the reversibility between
knowledge and image through the issue of engraving (and intaglio
printmaking more broadly) as a metaphor for thinking knowledge in the
early modern period. Reflecting on period epistemic-artistic metaphorology
of engraving that enabled a thinking through of the actual plastic
processes entailed in the reception and production of knowledge, this
chapter interrogates how a new technique such as engraving generated
or reactivated and thereby transformed rich metaphorical networks,
enabling a re-thinking of certain issues at the intersection of knowledge,
belief, and vision in early modernity.
Introduction
Authors: Sargent Noyes Ruth
Published: November 2022

Galileo Galilei’s History and Demonstrations on Solar Spots and Their
Properties, a collection of letters on observations of sunspots, came off the
Roman presses in spring 1613 with 38 printed illustrations that minutely
reproduced Galileo’s telescopic drawings. Printed from etched copperplates
by artist Mattheus Greuter, these prints’ production consumed
half of the book’s entire budget. This introductory chapter explores the
crucial rhetorical and epistemological role that Greuter’s sunspot etchings
and the artist’s painstaking methods played in conveying and even
constituting Galileo’s controversial Copernican arguments against broader
themes throughout essays in the book as whole, with special attention
to re-examining the discursive field of early modern epistemic images
in recent scholarship.
Visual Worlds on Early Modern
Scientific Instruments: Types and
Messages
Authors: Ellinghaus Julia , Remmert Volker R.
Published: November 2022

This chapter surveys early modern scientific instruments adorned with
images. These images per se have no relevance for the instruments’ use. To
date, such “instrumental imagery” and its contexts have only sporadically
been analyzed. This paper presents methods aiming at a systematic analysis
of this visual material to inquire after its role in the various contexts
of the adorned instruments (genesis, function, use) and importance for
crafting histories of success and relevance within the emerging field of
the sciences. The iconography points to quite a few significant topics:
statements of specific positions in theoretical debates; mediation and
illustration of knowledge, in particular by picturing the usability of the
instruments; or the role of instruments as patronage artefacts.

Balance global del proceso de negociación entre el gobierno y el FMLN
Authors: Acevedo Carlos
Published: November 2022

Con el Acuerdo de Paz, firmado el 16 de enero último en ciudad de México, el gobierno salvadoreño y el FMLN han formalizado el cese definitivo de once años de confrontación bélica, y dado culmen a un largo proceso de negociación, cuyas primeras iniciativas se remontan a los orígenes mismos del conflicto. El objetivo del presente artículo es efectuar un balance de los compromisos de paz que han resultado de ese proceso, y que abarcan cuatro grandes bloques de acuerdos -los acuerdos sobre derechos humanos, firmados en San José, Costa Rica, en julio de 1990; los acuerdos sobre reformas constitucionales, suscritos en México, en abril de 1991; y los acuerdos de Nueva York I y Nueva York 11,firmados en septiembre y diciembre de 1991, respectivamente- más el calendario de ejecución acordado en Nueva York, en el mes de enero recién pasado. El artículo está dividido en tres grandes partes. En la primera, se presenta una rápida visión diacrónica del proceso de negociación, haciendo hincapié sobre todo en su última fase decisiva, comprendida entre enero de 1989 y enero de 1992. En la segunda parte, se efectúa el balance propiamente dicho de los logros de la negociación; y en la tercera se examinan los principales factores, endógenos y exógenos, que posibilitaron los acuerdos de paz, para concluir con un breve apartado sobre los retos políticos para el futuro cercano.

Do Income Stocks Provide Higher Total Return than Growth Stocks? Empirical Data Analysis
Authors: Amoah Robert Awobgo-Moah
Published: November 2022

The fundamental issue in the investment process is not only how much to invest but also, what stocks to invest. It takes an average investor to make fundamental and/or technical analysis to select the best stock in the market. Of course, the selection dilemma does not lie with which company pays the highest dividends. It lies withwhich stock type (growth or income), provides highest payoff (total return) in the long run. The purpose of this study is to establish whether or not income stocks outperform growth stocks over time, and to offer valuable insights to new and existing investors as towhich path to take when it comes to stock selection. The study takes an empirical approach of analyzing existing data in order to make conceptual contribution to the body of knowledge in the literature of investment finance.In fact, the widespread rally behind dividend-paying stocks is not just a fad but has been supported by empirical evidence (data). Generally, growth stocks provide lesser total returns to the investor than income stocks. A test of mean differences of yields between income and growth stocks saw the yield (4.0) of income stocks almost doubling the yield (2.2) of growth stocks. Analysis of the data further indicatesthat dividends have played significant role in increasing total return in the history of investment. This was evident when average annual equity returns have been lower than 10% during a decade. Further analysis of data also, revealed the consequences of different dividend-policy implementations. The study established that dividend growers and initiators have historically achieved higher total return with less volatility than companies that either maintained or cut their dividend payment. Furthermore, dividend yield appeared to be significant in selecting stocks. Surprisingly, the study found that Stocks in the highest quintile of dividend yields have performed less, relative to stocks in the second quintile over time.

Published: November 2022

The Glass ceiling has become a central notion in the topic of gender in every organization. It is not only a barrier for an individual based on the individual's incapacity to manage a higher-level work, rater it relates specifically to women as a group who are prevented from going further in their careers because they are women. The barriers that constitute the glass ceiling can be of various types like Individual, Societal, Organizational, etc. It is vital to identify those barriers and install suitable measures so that this stumbling block called glass ceiling can be removed from the career path of skillful female academicians. This paper is intended to discuss the barriers that women face in their career pursuits for senior-level jobs because of the Glass ceiling and what they must do to go ahead and reach the leadership level they want or put it rightly, they deserve. This empirical study done in first grade colleges of Mangalore city is a preliminary attempt to identify the impact of Glass ceiling on women in education sector especially in their career advancement. It is evident from the findings that the existence of Glass ceiling in private institutions are far more when compared to government institutions.

This study determined to gauge if the given program outcomes for teacher education programs are evident as well as the indicators for beginning teachers are gained by the fourth-year students. This study used a mixed-method utilizing a sequential explanatory design which implies collecting and analyzing quantitative and then qualitative data in two consecutive phases within one study. A survey – questionnaire adapted from a standardized questionnaire, the Course Description Alignment Tool, which was used in the study "General Education Science and Mathematics Courses of Philippine Normal University’s Outcomes-based Teacher Education Curriculum: Intents and Actualities," was utilized for the study. The statistical treatments used were proportion, weighted mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. It was found out that on the extent of the implementation of the Teacher Education programs based on the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Program Outcomes, the respondents had with them more evident traits from the indicators which were common to all types of schools, given that of the five indicators, all four have a weighted mean interpreted as very evident and only one indicator was just evident. The average weighted mean for the indicators on the program outcomes common to all types of schools was higher than that of the program outcomes common to the discipline. On the extent of the implementation of the Teacher Education programs based on the Department of Education’s Beginning Teacher Indicators from the Philippine Professional Standard for Teachers (PPST), with the seven domains where the indicators were grouped, the respondents had very evident traits on the indicators for domain 2 which was on the learning environment and domain 7 which was on personal growth and professional development. It was concluded that on the implementation of the teacher education programs there were evidences that the students were able to have the required qualities or anticipated traits to become a beginning teacher based on the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) and the Program Outcomes of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). This implied that the teacher education program had already met some necessary areas for producing a set of good quality educators for schools. It was recommended that a professional and instructional development plan be adopted.
Heavy Metal Pollution from Listvenitization: In Case of Alakeçi (Bayramiç-Çanakkale/West Türkiye)
Authors: VURAL Alaaddin
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to investigate the risk of element/heavy metal pollution caused by listvenitization. In this context, the heavy metal pollution risk of listvenite-derived soils in the region where listvenitized ultrabasic rocks are present as a result of hydrothermal alterations in the vicinity of Alakeçi (Bayramiç Çanakkale/Western Türkiye) was investigated with pollution index, geoaccumulation index and integrated pollution risk parameters. For this purpose, Cu, Zn, Pb element concentrations of 350 soil samples collected from the field were determined, and Pollution Index (PI) and Geo-accumulation Index (Igeo) parameters for each element and Integrated Pollution Index (IPI) parameters for each sampling point were calculated. In addition, distribution maps of PI, Igeo and IPI parameters were plotted. When the site is considered in terms of IPI parameter, it has been determined that the site has medium and high pollution risk. When the field is considered in terms of PI and Igeo parameters, a remarkable level of pollution has been detected in the field, especially by Ni, Co and As elements. When the distribution maps of the PI, Igeo and IPI parameters are examined, it has been determined that the pollution risk is higher than the other areas, especially in the areas where hydrothermal alteration is intense and in the tectonic line areas. Although listvenitizations and listvenite zones are important target areas especially for epithermal gold mineralizations, this study has shown that listvenitization areas are also areas at risk of heavy metal pollution. Therefore, listvenitization zones are areas that should be investigated in terms of heavy metal pollution risk as well as epithermal gold mineralization potentials.

Sua abordagem abrange desde os tempos romanos até os atuais, em que a nova realidade social e econômica determinou o surgimento de um contrato com perfil diferente do que vigorava na época em que foi elaborado o Código Civil de Clóvis Beviláqua. O texto explica essa diferença e mostra a importância social de uma relação negocial em que se preservem o princípio da igualdade, consagrado na Constituição, e o da equivalência das prestações, fundamento de toda relação bilateral justa. A obra destaca os principais institutos consagrados no Código de Defesa do Consumidor, como a boa-fé objetiva, a lesão enorme, a resolução por fato superveniente e a desconsideração da pessoa jurídica. Analisa três temas que são os mais árduos do ramo: as nulidades no CDC, a responsabilidade pelo fato do produto ou serviço e, por fim, a defesa do consumidor em juízo. Obra recomendada para o operador do Direito que lida com o Código de Defesa do Consumidor quando estiver fazendo qualquer ação que envolva direitos do consumidor, discussão de contratos bancários e elementos mínimos da dogmática pertinente à área. Livro-texto para a disciplina Direito do Consumidor e leitura complementar para as disciplinas Responsabilidade Civil, Contratos e Processo Coletivo do curso de graduação em Direito.

Diagnosing ozone–NOx–VOC sensitivity and revealing causes of ozone increases in China based on 2013–2021 satellite retrievals
Authors: Ren Jie , Guo Fangfang , Xie Shaodong
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in China
have decreased significantly in recent years, but surface ozone (O3)
concentrations showed upward trends at more than 71 % of air quality
monitoring stations from 2015 to 2021. To reveal the causes of O3
increases, O3 production sensitivity is accurately diagnosed by
deriving regional threshold values of the satellite tropospheric
formaldehyde-to-NO2 ratio (HCHO/NO2), and O3 responses to
precursor changes are evaluated by tracking volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and NOx with satellite HCHO and NO2. Results showed that
the HCHO/NO2 ranges of transition from VOC-limited to NOx-limited
regimes apparently vary among Chinese regions. VOC-limited regimes are found widely over megacity clusters (North China Plain, Yangtze River
Delta and Pearl River Delta) and concentrated in developed cities (such as
Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an and Wuhan). NOx-limited regimes dominate
most of the remaining areas. From 2013 to 2021, satellite NO2 and HCHO
columns showed an annual decrease of 3.0 % and 0.3 %, respectively,
indicating an effective reduction in NOx emissions but a failure to
reduce VOC emissions. This finding further shows that O3
increases in major cities occur because the Clean Air Action Plan only
reduces NOx emissions without effective VOC control. Based on the
O3–NOx–VOC relationship by satellite NO2 and HCHO in
Beijing, Chengdu and Guangzhou, the ozone concentration can be
substantially reduced if the reduction ratio of VOCs/NOx is between 2:1
and 4:1.
Evaluating the accuracy of gridded water resources reanalysis and evapotranspiration products for assessing water security in poorly gauged basins

Abstract. Achieving water security in poorly gauged basins is critically hindered by a lack of in situ river discharge data to assess past, current, and future
evolution of water resources. To overcome this challenge, there has been a
shift toward the use of freely available satellite and reanalysis data
products. However, due to inherent bias and uncertainty, these secondary
sources require careful evaluation to ascertain their performance before
being applied in poorly gauged basins. The objectives of this study were to
evaluate river discharge and evapotranspiration estimates from eight gridded water resources reanalysis (WRR), six satellite-based evapotranspiration (ET) products, and ET estimates derived from complimentary relationship (CR–ET) across eight river basins located in Central–West Africa. Results highlight strengths and weaknesses of the different WRR in simulating discharge dynamics and ET across the basins. Likewise, satellite-based products also show some strength and weaknesses in simulating monthly ET. Our results further revealed that the performance of the different models in simulating river discharge and evapotranspiration is strongly influenced by model structure, input data, and spatial resolution. Considering all hydrological model evaluation criteria, FLDAS-Noah, Lisflood, AWRAL, and Terra were among the best performing WRR products while for ET estimates, FLDAS-Noah, Terra, GLEAM3.5a and 3.5b, and PMLV2 outperformed the rest of the products. Given the plethora of WRR and ET products available, it is imperative to evaluate their performance in representative gauged basins to identify products that can be applied in each region. However, the choice of a particular product will depend on the application and user requirements. Taking this together, results from this study suggest that gridded WRR and ET products are a useful source of data for assessing water security in poorly gauged basins.
Simulating the hydrological impacts of land use conversion from annual crop to perennial forage in the Canadian Prairies using the Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform

Abstract. The Red River is one of the largest contributing sources
of discharge and nutrients to the world's 10th largest freshwater lake,
Lake Winnipeg. Conversion of large areas of annual cropland to
perennial forage has been proposed as a strategy to reduce both flooding
and nutrient export to Lake Winnipeg. Such reductions could occur either via a reduction in the concentration of nutrients in runoff or through changes in
the basin-scale hydrology, resulting in a lower water yield and the concomitant
export of nutrients. This study assessed the latter mechanism by using the
physically based Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform to examine the
hydrological impacts of land use conversion from annual crops to perennial
forage in a subbasin of the La Salle River basin in Canada. This basin is a typical
agricultural subbasin in the Red River Valley, characterised by flat
topography, clay soils, and a cold subhumid, continental climate. Long-term
simulations (1992–2013) of the major components of water balance were
compared between canola and smooth bromegrass, representing a conversion
from annual cropping systems to perennial forage. An uncertainty framework
was used to represent a range of fall soil saturation status (0 % to 70 %),
which governs the infiltration to frozen soil in the subsequent spring. The model
simulations indicated that, on average, there was a 36.5 ± 6.6 %
(36.5 ± 7.2 mm) reduction in annual cumulative discharge and a
29.9 ± 16.3 % (2.6 ± 1.6 m3 s−1) reduction in annual
peak discharge due to forage conversion over the assessed period. These
reductions were driven by reduced overland flow 52.9 ± 12.8 %
(28.8 ± 10.1 mm), increased peak snowpack (8.1 ± 1.5 %,
7.8 ± 1.6 mm), and enhanced infiltration to frozen soils (66.7 ± 7.7 %, 141.5 ± 15.2 mm). Higher cumulative evapotranspiration (ET)
from perennial forage (34.5 ± 0.9 %, 94.1 ± 2.5 mm) was also
predicted by the simulations. Overall, daily soil moisture under perennial
forage was 18.0 % (57.2 ± 1.2 mm) higher than that of crop simulation,
likely due to the higher snow water equivalent (SWE) and enhanced
infiltration. However, the impact of forage conversion on daily soil
moisture varied interannually. Soil moisture under perennial forage stands
could be either higher or lower than that of annual crops, depending on
antecedent spring snowmelt infiltration volumes.
