IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF BOILER PLANTS DUE TO THE USE OF DIRECT AND REVERSE RANKIN CYCLES
Authors:   Odessa State Academy of Construction and Architecture, Arsirii V.A. , Ryabokon P.M. ,   Odessa State Academy of Construction and Architecture
Published: May 2023

To generate electricity from biofuels at heat and power enterprises of Ukraine, the direct Rankine cycle is used, which ensures the efficiency of energy transformation within  = 0.25-0.55. To improve the efficiency of fuel energy, use in boiler plants, it is also proposed to implement a reverse Rankine cycle scheme. Such a proposal is good to use in enterprises where there is a need for drying biomaterials. Instead of a separate boiler for drying processes, it is proposed to use the energy of water condensation from flue gases. In this case, the cost of electricity for the operation of the compressor is significantly less than the amount of heat obtained by condensing water from flue gases. The efficiency coefficient or COP of the reverse Rankine cycle can have values greater than one  = COP  3. The combination of direct and reverse Rankine cycles in the technological scheme of the boiler plant increases the efficiency of using primary energy sources. The paper analyzes the representation of energy as a combination of two components: the potential P and the dynamics D. The Leibniz model, in which the power N is represented as the product of the potential P and the dynamics D with the unification of the unit of measure Watt, allows calculating the efficiency of transformation processes of different types of energy. To improve the energy performance of boiler plants, further development of the Newton model is proposed, which makes it possible to calculate the process dynamism indicator – . In Newton's model, within the framework of one type of energy, the dynamism indicator is calculated – as the ratio of dynamics to the initial potential  = D / P. Dynamism  can be calculated as the reciprocal of the resistance R, provided that the units of measurement of the energy components – potential and dynamics are unified. To increase the efficiency of biofuel combustion energy use, the idea of the reverse Rankine cycle has been implemented. The moisture condensation temperature of the flue gases increases due to an increase in the pressure of the medium. To do this, the smoke exhauster is moved from the discharge zone to the pressure zone. The additional energy from the flue gases of the boilers can be used to increase the efficiency of drying biomaterials. It is possible to refuse an additional boiler for drying materials, which significantly reduces fuel costs, and also improves the environmental performance of technological processes.

Problems of stability of soil structures and the development of landslides, including the Black Sea coast, pose a significant danger to the population and existing buildings and structures. The development of landslides and landslide-prone slopes requires careful and detailed study, the results of which should be the basis for the implementation of measures for engineering protection of territories, taken into account in the design and construction of new facilities. When calculating the stability of slopes, there is a difference in the calculated values of the coefficients of stability in two-dimensional and three-dimensional problem statements. Analysis of the research indicates the need to take into account the influence of topographic conditions of the entire slope when calculating it in two-dimensional schemes within the designated areas. Determination of the coefficient of stability can be carried out by both analytical and graph-analytical methods. In most cases, the calculation of the stability of slopes and escarpment and the determination of the coefficient of stability is performed for two-dimensional sections constructed on lines that coincide with the most probable direction of shift of the shear body. The most common methods used in calculating the stability of slopes in a two-dimensional problem statement are the most used because of their simplicity, but these methods are based on the acceptance of some assumptions described above. Based on the analysis of a number of works on two-dimensional and three-dimensional modeling of soil slopes, it is shown that the assessment of the stability of landslides is a complex, responsible and poorly studied task. Performing calculations of soil slopes in the three-dimensional formulation of the problem gives results close to reality, in contrast to the results obtained by conventional and common engineering methods for two-dimensional schemes. This is due to the fact that the three-dimensional formulation of the problem takes into account the combination of engineering and geological conditions of the entire slope. Three-dimensional modeling of soil slopes also allows taking into account factors that have a significant impact on stability, which cannot be taken into account in two-dimensional modeling (features of topography, the presence of trimming slopes, ravines, point structures, etc.).

Die slavische Übersetzung der Märtyrerakte des heiligen Erasmus von Formia, wahlweise Ohrid
Authors: Stern Dieter
Published: May 2023

Die kirchenslavische Übersetzung der Märtyrerakten des heiligen Erasmus von Formia verdient unter anderem besondere Aufmerksamkeit, da der Text und mit ihm der Heiligenkult seine hauptsächliche Verbreitung in der Westkirche fand, während er im byzantinischen Raum allenfalls eine untergeordnete Rolle spielte. Es stellt sich die Frage, wie und unter welchen Umständen der Text seinen Weg in die frühslawische Übersetzungsliteratur finden konnte. Wiewohl viele Fragen zur Genese der Übersetzung noch offen sind und wohl auch in Zukunft keine befriedigende Antwort finden dürften, zeigen sich doch unmissverständliche Hinweise auf eine frühe Beziehung zwischen der noch jungen slavischen (bulgarischen) Kirche und Süditalien. Die häufigen Abweichungen des slavischen Textes von den zum Vergleich herangezogenen griechischen Vorlagen legen eine fortgesetzte Suche nach weiteren griechischen Textzeugen nahe, die jedoch angesichts der Marginalität der Überlieferung wenig zu versprechen scheint. Der vorliegende Überblick unterzieht den gegenwärtigen Stand der Forschung zur slavischen Märtyrerakte des Erasmus einer kritischen Würdigung und gewährt zugleich einen Überblick über die Forschungsgeschichte. Ferner sollen die vorhandenen Textzeugen vorgestellt, ein Vorschlag für ein stemma codicum unterbreitet und schließlich Fragen der Textüberlieferung und Übersetzungstechnik angeschnitten werden.
Per il testo e la tradizione della Vita Constantini
Authors: Ziffer Giorgio
Published: May 2023

L’articolo inizia parlando dell’origine e del contenuto della Vita Constantini, della quale offre un riassunto particolareggiato. Seguono quindi una breve storia degli studi critico-testuali e un censimento dei manoscrittti che tramandano il testo e che vengono ordinati in sette classi. Nel quarto paragrafo, che costituisce il fulcro dell’articolo, viene argomentata l’esistenza di tre diversi bracci (rami) della tradizione i quali permettono di ricostruire tre portatori di varianti, uno dei quali (di provenienza novgorodiana) risulta profondamente contaminato. Le relazioni di dipendenza degli archetipi delle sette classi di testimoni individuate sono raffigurate in uno stemma. L’autore discute quindi alcuni luoghi guida del testo dove i tre portatori di varianti hanno tre lezioni diverse. L’attenzione si sofferma poi sui testimoni serbi che derivano tutti da una copia in cui il testo della Vita è stato ‘corretto’ in più punti. Nel successivo paragrafo, dedicato alle principali linee di sviluppo della tradizione, l’autore illustra le ragioni in virtù delle quali possiamo concludere che l’archetipo da cui discende l’intera tradizione fosse di origine slava orientale. Nella parte finale dell’articolo l’autore illustra quelli che a suo modo di vedere sono i maggiori compiti futuri che attendono gli studiosi, a cominciare dall’edizione critica del testo.

Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS) terdapat hampir diseluruh Kabupaten/Kota di setiap provinsi di Indonesia.  Di Kota Sawahlunto BAZNAS beralamat di Komplek PT. Bukit Asam Persero, Bangunan W.54, Kelurahan Saringan, Kecamatan Barangin, Kota Sawahlunto. Pada BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto, dana zakat yang terkumpul masih jauh dari target yang ingin dicapai. Hal tersebut karena banyaknya Muzakki yang langsung memberikan zakatnya kepada Mustahik tanpa menggunakan perantara BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto, sehingga BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto kurang optimal dalam menyalurkan zakat. Adapun tujuan penelitiannya yaitu sebagai berikut : Untuk menganalisis pengelolaan dana zakat pada Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto) tahun 2019 – 2020 dan untuk menganalisis efektifitas pengelolaan dana zakat pada Badan Amil Zakat Nasional (BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto) tahun 2019 - 2020. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan pada BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto tentang pengelolaan dana zakat, dapat disimpulkan : Pengelolaan dana zakat di BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto dilakukan secara baik dan sesuai peraturan yang ada dalam Undang-Undang Pengelolaan Zakat. Penerimaan dana zakat dicatat sesuai kelompok (Dana zakat, dana Amil dan dana non syariah). Laporan Keuangan BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto dicatat dengan baik. BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto melaporkan dana zakat secara berkala ke BAZNAS Provinsi Sumatera Barat dan Pemerintah setempat. Pendistribusian dana zakat pada BAZNAS Kota Sawahlunto dikelompokkan menjadi 5 program yaitu Sawahlunto Sehat, Sawahlunto Peduli, Sawahlunto Cerdas, Sawahlunto Makmur dan Sawahlunto Sejahtera.Kata kunci : Pengumpulan, Penerimaan, Pencatatan, Pelaporan dan Pendistribusian Dana Zakat

The influence of international relations after the 1815 Vienna Congress has defined the relation and equilibrium of forces in Europe; at the same time, it would cause the „oriental crisis” to become a general issue, much like the issue of the Romanian principates which started to state their legitimate claims regarding the right to social and national emancipation, all converging towards the diplomatic effort necessary for the creation of a national, independent state, in accordance with the objectives stated in the Dacian-Roman ideology.
TÜRK EDEBİYATINDA FEREC BA'DE'Ş-ŞİDDE
Authors: MERAL Tuğba
Published: May 2023

Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde, Arap edebiyatında sıkıntıdan ferahlığa ulaşılan hikâyelerin toplandığı bir edebî tür olarak dokuzuncu yüzyılda ortaya çıkmış; Fars edebiyatındaki örnekleri ise on üçüncü yüzyıldan itibaren görülmeye başlanmıştır. Arap ve Fars edebiyatlarında çok popüler olan bu edebî türün günümüze ulaşan Türkçe yazmaları, genellikle eser odaklı olarak çalışıldığı için Türk edebiyatında Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde, bugüne dek tek bir eser gibi algılanarak değerlendirilmiş; on beşinci yüzyılda Farsçadan tercüme yoluyla edebiyatımıza girdiği düşüncesi yaygınlaşmıştır. Oysa Türk edebiyatında; 14 bâblı, 13 bâblı ve 42 hikâyeli olmak üzere üç ayrı Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde külliyatı bulunmaktadır. 14 bâblı Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde, on beşinci yüzyılda Mevlânâ Lutfî Tokadî tarafından Arapçadan; 13 bâblı Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde, yine on beşinci yüzyılda Mehmed b. Ömerü’l-Hâlebî tarafından Farsçadan tercüme edilerek hazırlanmıştır. İlk musannifi belli olmayan 42 hikâyeli Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde ise bugüne dek Farsçadan tercüme olarak değerlendirilmiştir fakat Arap ve Fars edebiyatlarında 42 hikâyeli başka bir Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde'nin bulunmaması; 42 hikâyeli yazmaların, Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde türünün karakteristik özelliklerini taşımaması ve mevcut yazmalarda tespit edilen sözlü gelenek unsurları, bu külliyattaki hikâyelerin derlenerek hazırlandığına işaret etmektedir. 42 hikâyeli külliyata ait günümüze ulaşan en eski nüsha, bugüne kadar Budapeşte (1451) yazması olarak bilinmektedir fakat Paris-I (1390-1410) yazmasının daha eski olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde'lerin bilinen en eski yazmaları, 42 hikâyeli külliyata ve on dördüncü yüzyıla aittir. Dolayısıyla Türk edebiyatına Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde türünün ilk olarak on dördüncü yüzyılda 42 hikâyeli yazmalarla girdiği söylenebilir. Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde'ler üzerine yapılan araştırmalarda genellikle 42 hikâyeli yazmalara yoğunlaşılmış; 14 bâblı ve 13 bâblı külliyatlara ait yazmalar ise maalesef bugüne dek ihmal edilmiştir. Bu makalede, Türkiye'deki ve yurt dışındaki kütüphanelerde tespit edilen Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde yazmaları üç külliyat hâlinde değerlendirilecek; üç külliyatın bugüne dek gözden kaçırılan yeni yazma nüshaları tanıtılacak ve son olarak (Paris-I, Budapeşte, Hamidiye ve Fatih-I olmak üzere) dört nüshadan hareketle 42 hikâyeli Türkçe Ferec baᶜde’ş-şidde'nin özellikleri üzerine ayrıntılı bir inceleme yapılacaktır.

Conducting large-scale epidemiologic studies requires powerful software for electronic data capture, data management, data quality assessments, and participant management. There is also an increasing need to make studies and the data collected findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). However, reusable software tools from major studies, underlying such needs, are not necessarily known to other researchers. Therefore, this work gives an overview on the main tools used to conduct the internationally highly networked population-based project Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), as well as approaches taken to improve its FAIRness. Deep phenotyping, formalizing processes from data capture to data transfer, with a strong emphasis on cooperation and data exchange have laid the foundation for a broad scientific impact with more than 1500 published papers to date.
Derrida, leitor de Schmitt: o conceito do político e o espectro do inimigo
Authors: Lima Deyvison Rodrigues
Published: May 2023

O tema do artigo é a leitura de Jacques Derrida acerca do conceito do político de Carl Schmitt. A partir da noção de hantise, a tradição da ontologie é caracterizada como a busca por uma presença como fundamento ou origem. Todavia, a lógica espectral se insinua na realidade, pois diferimento que nunca se faz presente. Por isso, o originário seria ele mesmo tardio, visto que posterior à aparição do espectro, isto é, a espera por sua reaparição. Na leitura derridiana, o conceito do político schmittiano é relacionado à tentativa de exclusão da indeterminação dessa presença-ausência através da inimizade ou da guerra. Desse modo, a existência da ordem política remeteria à presença espectral do inimigo como a possibilidade real de dar a morte, estabelecendo a identidade entre político, guerra e inimigo, bem como a experiência da impossibilidade da ordem.
O velho, o bobo e o louco: Ensaio sobre a representação da loucura em Rei Lear
Authors: Süssekind Pedro
Published: May 2023

Este ensaio procura mostrar que a abordagem da loucura em Rei Lear se desdobra em três manifestações interrelacionadas, correspondentes a três personagens: Lear, Pobre Tom e o Bobo. O primeiro enlouquece em decorrência da senilidade e do choque emocional, o segundo encena o desvario de um possesso, e o terceiro usa ironicamente o nonsense para dizer verdades incômodas. Por meio desses personagens, aparecem em cena formas de explicação da loucura concorrentes: a médica, que se baseava no conceito de melancolia; a religiosa, que a associava à possessão demoníaca; e a satírica, que via a loucura como contraparte do saber racional. Recorrendo ao Elogio da loucura de Erasmo e à História da loucura de Foucault, a hipótese defendida no ensaio é a de que Shakespeare combinou diferentes aspectos da experiência da loucura presentes nas manifestações artísticas do início da modernidade, revelando assim uma relação dialética de loucura e sabedoria.
A sensibilidade do diafragma em Diderot: um paradoxo do paradoxo
Authors: Carnicero de Castro Clara
Published: May 2023

A referência ao órgão do diafragma sinaliza uma acepção específica da sensibilidade, que coexiste com outras acepções em alguns dos escritos mais importantes da obra tardia de Diderot: Sonho de d'Alembert (1769), Elementos de fisiologia (≈1782), Refutação de Helvétius (1783) e, sobretudo, Paradoxo sobre o comediante (1773). Trata-se de uma acepção de difícil interpretação, porque ela se desdobra em duas: o diafragma e o cérebro como dois motores sensíveis do corpo humano. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o problema da sensibilidade do diafragma em Diderot, considerando esse duo, para, em seguida, contextualizar a teoria nos escritos de naturalistas e médicos da época (Buffon, La Caze e Bordeu) e, por fim, propor uma interpretação com base nestes.
Why Existence? An Explanation with No Remainder
Authors: Drob Sanford
Published: May 2023

The ultimate question, “Why is there something rather than nothing?” is approached through an analysis of the meaning and significance of the question, which involves a quest for both a “reason” and a “cause” for existence. The author endeavors to make transparent the Platonic claim that something “beyond existence” can give rise to existence, and holds that this “something” must involve an atemporal pre-existent possibility, such as logic, mathematics, or, as is claimed, value. Like logic and mathematics (and unlike the laws of nature) certain values are valid for all possible worlds, but only value can provide _both a reason and causefor existence_. It is argued that a “quest” for value and meaning gives rise to all existence, and that this quest is both linguistically and existentially expressed in the question “Why is there something rather than nothing?” As such, the question, as per the dictum of the Kabbalist Shimon Labis, is its own answer, answering itself without remainder.

Secara garis besarnya Kabupaten Biak Numfor merupakan daerah yang cukup pesat dalam perkembangan jumlah penduduk sehingga hal tersebut perlu dipersiapkan generasi yang baik untuk menyongsong masyarakat yang sehat, namun hal itu tidak mudah dikarenakan stunting masih menjadi masalah gizi utama bagi bayi dan anak dibawah usia dua tahun di Papua. Kondisi tersebut akan menghambat momentum generasi yang sehat untuk kedepannya dan itu harus segera dituntaskan. Satu hal yang harus kita pahami bersama adalah stunting itu bisa diatasi atau dikoreksi dimulai dengan program edukasi dan sosialisasi pendampingan kepada mahasiswa diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat tentang pencegahan stunting di tingkat keluarga. Peran dan keterlibatan mahasiswa di perguruan tinggi memiliki potensi dalam melakukan edukasi kepada masyarakat dan dapat mengaplikasikan ilmu untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat. Untuk mendukung program tersebut didasarkan hasil observasi yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya ternyata masih banyak masyarakat yang belum mengetahui stunting di Papua maka dilakukan edukasi dan sosialisasi kepada mahasiswa Institut Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Yapis Biak, Kabupaten Biak Numfor sebagai agen perubahan yang nantinya akan menyampaikan informasi kepada masyarakat akan pentingya stunting itu. Olehnya itu pemerintah dalam hal ini BKKBN mempunyai peranan penting dalam melibatkan stakeholder khususnya kepada Perguruan Tinggi yang ada untuk bersinergi dalam menurunkan angka stunting dalam bentuk pencegahan dan penanganan stunting.

Leadership Requirements in the 21st Century : the Perceptions of Canadian Private Sector Leaders
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Watson Samy
Published: May 2023

Problem. Since 1995, with the realization that by 2005 more than 61% of executives in the senior ranks of the Canadian Public Service would be eligible for retirement (La Releve, 1998), the need to recruit and develop competent leaders has become a matter of urgent attention. Method. Public sector leaders were surveyed by mail-in questionnaires as to their ratings of a set of leadership competencies. Analogue research for private sector leaders, conducted by a colleague, was incorporated for some analysis. A stratified sample of the general public was also surveyed by telephone regarding a subset of the same competencies. Results. Public sector leaders perceived a shift in importance for the following competencies: cosmopolitan/world view, vision, teamwork, ability to learn, teaching skills, negotiation, interpersonal skills, ethics, entrepreneurial skills, problem solving, initiative, and stamina from 20 years ago to the 21st century; however, they rated business/technical and organizational as decreasing in importance. Public sector leaders identified globalization, technology, diversity, and downsizing as important influences on the required leadership competencies for the 21st century. Public sector leaders rated problem solving, ability to learn, initiative, teaching, ethics, and organizational skills lower than the general population. Public sector leaders rated cosmopolitan/world view as more important than did the general population. When public and private sector leaders' data were combined, public sector leaders rated significantly larger shifts in importance for vision, entrepreneurial skills, and negotiating. Public and private sector leaders ranked the top five competencies of vision, communication, teamwork, cosmopolitan/world view and ability to learn similarly. The general public identified the ability to learn as the top-ranked competency. Conclusions. The results o f this study inform leadership training and development opportunities for current public sector managers as they plan for the future. This study suggests that public sector leaders perceive significant changes are needed in future leadership competencies. In considering the top five ranked future leadership competencies for the public sector leaders, vision, communication, team work, cosmopolitan/world view, and ability to learn, a compelling story can be told about future leadership and the emphasis on future and relational clusters of competencies for leaders.
The Classification of the Greek Manuscripts of 1 Peter with Special Emphasis on Methodology
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Yoo Kenneth
Published: May 2023

The problem. Either because of methodological flaws or because of inadequate databases, Greek manuscripts of 1 Peter have not been satisfactorily examined. This study is an attempt to establish a better textual critical method and to apply it to a larger database. The method identifies new statistical techniques that facilitate quantitative analysis, necessary to establish the tentative groups that are used for the profiling of manuscripts. The method. The method I used for the classification of Greek manuscripts of 1 Peter combines the computer-generated profile method and a statistical technique known as factor analysis. The profile method has been used for the last 35 years whereas factor analysis is applied to textual criticism for the first time. Factor analysis eliminates hours of laborious computation usually associated with the Revised Claremont Profile Method's quantitative analysis, while at the same time yielding accurate results because it forms tentative groups in one swift process. The computer-generated profile method refines and modifies the tentative groups made by factor analysis, thus enabling the establishing of the final groups. The results. When I applied factor analysis to the 106 Greek manuscripts of 1 Peter, 3 groups of Alexandrian manuscripts emerged and 13 groups of non-Alexandrian manuscripts. When I applied the computer-generated profile method to those tentative groups, I found that 27 of the manuscripts are Alexandrian in text-type (3 groups), 63 are Byzantine (10 groups), and 16 are Mixed (3 groups). Conclusions. Factor analysis and the computer-generated profile method used in this study, are the best available methods at this present time for the classification of the Greek manuscripts. The classifications of the 106 Greek manuscripts of 1 Peter done in this study are also helpful resources for understanding textual groupings of Greek manuscripts of 1 Peter.
The Relationships Between Student Diligence, Student Support Systems, Other Related Variables and Student Academic Outcomes in High Schools in Grenada
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Arthur Christon
Published: May 2023

Problem. The Ministry of Education on the Caribbean Island of Grenada has been seeking to find ways to improve students' academic performance. The Ministry's emphasis has been on finding ways to make students more responsible for their education and at the same time trying to examine the level of educator support and parental support students receive. This emphasis on the level of educator and parental support that students receive was due in part to the findings of Hinds et al. (1999) that students in the Eastern Caribbean rate the support from parents and educators as being very important to their educational life. This study examined the impact of student diligence on student academic performance in Grenada's high schools. On a secondary level, the study examined impact of student support systems on student diligence and investigated demographic differences in diligence. Method. Four hundred and forty-eight students, 348 parents, and 34 educators participated in the study. Of these, 310 students were matched to their parents. Factor analysis was done to ensure that the instrument was robust enough to be used in the Grenadian culture. Correlational and multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between diligence and academic performance, and parental diligence support and student diligence. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine demographic differences in diligence among students. Results. Factor analysis led to the revision of the Diligence Inventory that was used in Grenada. Diligence was operationalized through four dimensions and 33 items. The four scales were: Motivation, Concentration and Assimilation, Conformity and Responsibility and Discipline. The major findings indicate that there is a significant but modest correlation between diligence and academic performance (r = .248). However, the correlation between diligence and academic performance for females ( r = .258), 15-year-olds (r = .427), and students of 'other' descent (r = .300) are stronger than that of general population. Also, there is a significant relationship between parental support and student diligence (r = .279). Educators (M = 140.05, SD = 12.22) are more supportive of their students' diligence than are parents (M = 133.79, SD = 19.92, p < .001). The study found that females tended to be more diligent than males ( p < .05), and that younger students were more diligent ( p < .01) and tend to have significantly higher academic performance levels than older students (p < .001). Conclusion. This study has implications for educating students in Grenada and other Caribbean countries With similar cultures. It may help educators become more sensitized to the differences students bring to the classroom, and may help thedifferent Ministries of Education in their intervention measures to improve students' academic performance.
The Relationship Between Religious Beliefs, Moral Development, Self-Control, Peer Pressure, Self-Esteem, and Premarital Sex

Published: May 2023

Problem. The purpose of this study was to ascertain if there is any relationship between religious beliefs, moral development, self-control, peer pressure, self-esteem, and premarital sex, providing for a comprehensive framework for understanding this phenomenon. Method. Subjects were 148 undergraduates attending three schools in different geographic regions within the United States. Subjects were primarily between 18 and 25 years old. A survey was completed by 148 students. Data-were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Independent-Samples t test. Results. Of the 148 students who participated in the study, 38% were Black, Hispanic, 38% were White, non-Hispanic, 10% were Hispanic, and 4% were Biracial/Multiracial. Ninety-six percent of subjects stated that they belonged to a religious faith or church, and 4% stated that they did not. With regard to whether or not the subjects had premarital sexual intercourse, 33.8% had consensual sex, 55.4% did not have sex, 8.1% had sexand were forced, and 2.7% had sex but were unsure as to whether or not it was consensual. Of those subjects who did have premarital sex, 86% of those had sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend. With two exceptions, the 8.1% of subjects who were forced to have sex were female and forced or pressured by a boyfriend/girlfriend. Most of the subjects, 49.3%, had principled morality scores in the low range. In regard to self-esteem, most of the subjects, 56.8%, scored in the average range. Self-control scores of subjects revealed that 74.3% scored in the average range. In relation to peer influence, 79.1% of subjects were not influenced by their peers on the nine issues studied. The Analysis of Variance and the Multivariate Analysis of Variance that was used to test hypotheses found non-significant differences between those who had sex and consented, those who did not have sex, those who had sex and were unsure, and those who had sex but did not consent, on religious beliefs,moral development, self-control, peer pressure, and self-esteem scores. Conclusions. For the 148 subjects attending Seventh-day Adventist colleges, the non-significant results seemed to indicate that different factors may have been influencing this sample in their premarital sexual behavior.

Problem. Many marital satisfaction studies have focused on many sub-groups: Caucasians, Blacks, and many ethnic groups such as Japanese, German, Polish, Indian, Chinese-American, Swedish, Mexican-American, Nigerian, and Koreans in Korea. No study was found that has investigated marital satisfaction factors for Korean-American couples. Method. This study evaluated marital satisfaction factors that were important to Korean Americans. The Korean-American population for this study was reached through the Korean-American church organizations in America by random selection of churches. A total of 558 surveys was usable for analyses. Of the 558 subjects, approximately 49% were husbands and 51% were wives. Three hundred forty-four surveys were from matched couples. Methods of analyses were: factor analysis, t -test for independent sample, regression analyses, and discriminant analysis. Results. The mean score of husbands' marital satisfaction was significantly greater than that of wives. Eleven factors were found in Korean-American couples. Taken individually, all of the 11 variables were significant predictors of the marital satisfaction of Korean-American couples. The five most important factors for marital satisfaction of Korean-Americancouples were: expressing affection to each other, having sexual satisfaction, having children, keeping commitment to sexual fidelity, and sharing activities together. Other factors of communication that were significant contributors to marital satisfaction of Korean-American couples included: positive kinship relationship (with parents-in-law), positive family dynamic in her or his family of origin, self-esteem, and religious homogamy. The order of importance of the 10 factors was slightly different between husbands and wives. Maintaining an androgynous role in Korean homes was not very important. Compared to the highly dissatisfied couples, the highly satisfied couples tended to have a higher level of expression of their affection to each other, to experience more positive attributes from having children, and to have a higher level of sexual satisfaction. Conclusion. In summary, the four factors most important to marital satisfaction of the Korean-American wives were: expressing affection to each other, having sexual satisfaction, maintaining sexual fidelity to each other, and having children. The three factors most important to marital satisfaction of the Korean-American husbands were: expressing affection to each other, having children, and having sexual satisfaction. In varying degrees, except for androgynous gender role, all 10 factors were significant predictors of the marital satisfaction of Korean-American couples when taken individually.

Published: May 2023

Problem. The rapid growth of diverse populations is affecting the educational system, and teachers often have not received training in multicultural education. The goal of this study is to document the multicultural teaching experiences of elementary Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) teachers in the United States and Canada. Method. Survey questionnaires were sent to elementary school teachers to ascertain training, goals, paradigms, and challenges in teaching students from diverse cultures. Through a purposive sampling process, three teachers were chosen for in-depth interviews and observation. Results. Seventy percent of the 1,780 questionnaires sent out were returned. Many teachers reported receiving training in their formal education or during in-service training while 40% reported never having any training. Five multicultural paradigms describe the strategies used by the teachers. The self-concept development paradigm and the ethnic additive paradigm were used by the majority of the teachers. The least used paradigm was the language awareness paradigm. Observations and interviews corroborated the data from the survey. The various paradigms (Banks, 1994) were not closely related to goals (Nel, 1993). The greatest challenges experienced by teachers were language related. Other challenges included teachers’ sensitivity to students’ needs, difficulty in dealing with parents, and several learning barriers. Learning barriers included students’ low self-esteem; lack of academic preparation or motivation; fear of failure, lack of role models; race rivalry and prejudices. Conclusions. The teachers in this study tend to primarily utilize the human relations approach in their multicultural classrooms rather than the social reconstructionist approach.
Effective Middle School Teachers : Becoming "Real"
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Sommers Rhoda
Published: May 2023

Problem. This study looks at four effective middle school teachers' stories in order to understand the experiences and beliefs which impact their choice to use developmentally responsive classroom practices. There is general agreement in the literature concerning characteristics of effective middle school teachers, but little has been done to understand what influences these teachers to teach the way they do. Method. A qualitative case study design was used for this study. Two male and two female middle school teachers were observed and interviewed during the course of 1 school year. Each teacher's life experiences, classroom practices, and beliefs are described in narrative form. An analysis of the four teachers' practices and beliefs was conducted using the Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development's Turning Points (1989) and the National Middle School Association's This We Believe (1995). Further analysis of similarities and differences in the teachers' lives led to the emergence of other themes. Results. The four teachers' classroom practices and beliefs matched the descriptions of developmentally appropriate practices in Turning Points and This We Believe. Further analysis of similarities and differences in the teachers' lives led to the emergence of other themes. Conclusions. The concept of "Real" as portrayed in The Velveteen Rabbit describes the lives of the four middle school teachers who participated in this study. These teachers love and give of themselves freely to others. They have experienced growing pains, but choose to look beyond the discomfort and allow it to mold and shape their lives. Though they are Real and recognize the contributions they are making to others, they continue to open themselves up to continued growth.

Conclusion: The results showed that verbal self-instruction training affects symptoms of ADHD and academic procrastination.
ВЕРБАЛІЗАЦІЯ КОНЦЕПТУ SURVIVAL У КІНОДИСКУРСІ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ТРИЛОГІЇ “THE MAZE RUNNER”)
Authors: Іванотчак Н. І. , Садівська С. А.
Published: May 2023

Статтю присвячено вивченню особливостей семантико-когнітивної об’єктивації концепту SURVIVAL у англомовному кінодискурсі (на матеріалі трилогії “The Maze Runner”). Основний результат дослідження полягає у виявленні лексичних засобів вербалізації концепту SURVIVAL та описі його основних диференційних когнітивних ознак. Аналіз концепту SURVIVAL здійснюється за допомогою методики компонентного аналізу на матеріалі словникових дефініцій із виокремленням сем з англомовних лексикографічних джерел, що відображає специфіку фрагменту мовної картини світу на позначення SURVIVAL, а також застосовуються контекстуальний та концептуальний аналіз, когнітивно-дискурсивна інтерпретація дискурсивних контекстів SURVIVAL. Дослідження вербалізації здійснюється на матеріалі англомовного кінодискурсу антиутопії, оскільки він відзначається різноманіттям вербальних засобів вираження поведінкових концептів. Встановлено, що лексичними засобами об’єктивації концепту SURVIVAL у кінодискурсі є лексема-ім’я концепту (survival, to survive та інші похідні від них слова), а також синоніми лексеми (to last, to save, to make, to escape, to exit, to look for a way out, to get away, to stay alive). Всі вони розкривають зміст концепту та є елементами його ядерної зони. У визначенні SURVIVAL домінантними семами є state та continuing to live, continuing to exist, що актуалізують домінантні когнітивні ознаки: стан існування, попри небезпеку, подолання небезпеки, уникнення небезпечної ситуації. Периферійні елементи концепту SURVIVAL включають лексеми alive, to keep (that way), to run, to find (shelter). Диференційними когнітивними ознаками концепту SURVIVAL, відповідно до дослідження, можна вважати такі установки, як “following the rules” (to lead, do what sb. says), “keeping silent”, “never stop moving”.
