SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DOCTRINE OF GOD IN MISSION:
A CASE OF JONAH AND THE SAILORS
Authors: Mwita Alexander
Published: August 2024

The development of any country, society, or community depends upon the system of education that the people go through to prepare themselves to take up various responsibilities. A faulty educational system or an ideal one has consequences on the economic, social, and political systems of that entity, be it a country, society, or community. One person who was interested in studying this trend was Paulo Freire, an educationist from Brazil. Freire’s study was based on an educational pedagogy that oppresses or liberates those involved in the teaching-learning process. An examination of both, the pedagogy to oppress or to liberate permeates many systems of education in the world. This paper revisits Freire’s thesis entitled, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed”, and examines how some of these ideas are in line with the Seventh-day Adventist system of education.

The educational process consists of two main types of activities: the teaching activity of the teacher in educating students in knowledge, skills, and life experience, and the learning activity of the student in mastering the content taught by the teacher. Defining the learning process, teaching guides and determines learning. Therefore, the learning process is often explained as the process of educating the student. As a result, the learning process is perceived as a mechanism for the "transmission" of teaching content from teacher to student, with the teacher directly shaping the student. It formalizes the algorithm for solving problems − the problem-solving algorithm using the method of Diophantus al-Khwarizmi. This article presented a solution to text problems in algebra for grade 7 using the Kyrgyz method and a system of linear equations. It should be noted that this type of thinking was successfully used by many ancient Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese and Indian mathematicians. The generalization of the described method can be successfully used to solve various problems.

Generating function and root properties for chromatic polynomials
Authors: Salman Shatha , Abduldaim Areej , Faraj Anwar , Sadiq Fatima , Hamid Mohammed
Published: August 2024

The chromatic polynomial P(G,t) related to graphs is a major area of algebraic graph theory. These polynomials allow graphs to be extracted using algebraic techniques and contain important information about their structure and properties. In particular, the coefficients, roots, and derivatives of graphing polynomials at certain points and their values are frequently interpreted in important ways. A graph with vertices V and a chromatic polynomial chi_{G}(n) is called G. In the paper, we discover some properties by defining h_{G}(z) as the generating function of the chromatic polynomial of the graph along with properties of the roots. A real number t is called a chromatic root of the generating function for the chromatic polynomial of a graph G if h(G, t) = 0. Since the chromatic polynomial enumerates the appropriate colors of a graph, it is natural to see how color roots behave in light of the assumptions related to them.

Diana Aurenque. Animales enfermos. Filosofía como terapéutica. Santiago: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2022
Authors: Donoso Pardo Natalia
Published: August 2024

Animales enfermos. Filosofía como terapéutica tiene la amabilidad de dirigirse a un público amplio, diverso y para nada experto en la materia, pero también —y es quizás lo más destacable— invita a desplazarnos al terreno de lo que es estrictamente filosófico, a saber, la pregunta por quienes somos. Los filósofos, tal y como señala Diana Aurenque, no son los únicos que pueden reflexionar acerca de la naturaleza humana: estamos, en tanto seres humanos, condenados a reflexionar acerca de nosotros mismos. En medio de nuestra ajetreada existencia, se vuelve imposible escapar de la pregunta primordial por quienes somos y cuál es el fin de nuestro vagabundeo por el mundo.
Crítica y fundamentación de la Prima Philosophia en el idealismo trascendental de Kant y Husserl
Authors: Vargas García Juan Manuel
Published: August 2024

La noción de idealismo trascendental se rastrea como un resultado de la síntesis kantiana del racionalismo y del empirismo. Dicha síntesis constituye el proyecto de una metafísica de la metafísica, es decir, de una nueva Filosofía primera. En ese proyecto se vuelven patentes los dos sentidos de filosofía primera, el socrático y el aristotélico, a través de la tarea crítica y positivo de la teoría del conocimiento. Ese idealismo trascendental kantiano comparte con la filosofía de Husserl, pese a profundas diferencias, el motivo originario de elaborar una filosofía científica capaz de suministrar a la humanidad normas éticas racionales y universales.

Authors: Zheng Guanchao , Xu Wen , Xu Mohd Khairol Anuar Bin Mohd Ariffin
Published: August 2024

Response surface method (RSM) as a fitting method had been applied to composite
cylindrical buckling problem. There are little researches focusing on the accuracy of the RSM. For
most cylinder buckling problems, only angles of the fiber orientation had been considered as the
important variables. This paper proposes a progressive response surface method (RSM) to
approximate the buckling critical pressure for composite cylindrical pressure hull taking ply angles
and ply thicknesses into account. This method is adopted to replace the finite element method
(FEM) to rise the calculation efficiency, and the fitting model result in this method can be proved to
be effective and accurate compared with 6 different RSM models. The results can demonstrate its
accuracy and feasibility under ply angles and thicknesses for composite cylindrical buckling
problem.

Published: August 2024

Although charity has been developed in China for decades, its basic value attributes have
not been truly stimulated in Chinese society. If we look at the development of philanthropy in China
alone, we will not only fail to touch the core of the problem, but also deviate from it. Based on a brief
analysis of the early development history, this paper finds that the problem has been foreshadowed
in the earliest historical development. Through a combination of qualitative research methods, this
paper realizes that the key to improving and even solving the problems in the field of public welfare
and charity in Chinese society does not lie in the problems of the field itself, but rather in the political
behaviors and modus operandi behind the problems that appear to be public welfare and charity.

Authors: Kovšca Vladimir , Lacković Vincek Zrinka , Antun Tkalčec
Published: August 2024

The paper deals with the impact of microtransactions on the development of new business models in the field of computer games, caused by various monetized offerings within computer games, as well as other platforms such as gaming consoles and smartphones. The paper also examines the reasons for the emergence of business models based on microtransactions in the video game industry and the influence of the industry’s transition towards a consumer-oriented model. The central hypothesis of the paper is that microtransactions have a strong impact on the development of business models in the entire video game industry, and that over time, the value of products monetized in this way increases, despite consumers’ efforts to prevent this development direction of the industry. The paper conducted research on a population of consumers of video game content, mainly students of the Faculty of Organization and Informatics at the University of Zagreb, as well as respondents from other EU countries. The conclusion is that the number of microtransactions and the number of business models based on microtransactions will continue to grow in the future, but there are ways to combat those forms of microtransactions that have negative effects on consumers, especially minors, and, in some situations, even illegal.

Authors: Marenić Ivona , Dabo Krešimir
Published: August 2024

In today’s age, the average consumer is too exposed to marketing materials to pay attention to each one, and billboards can be an expensive investment for companies and can easily go unnoticed. The average consumer uses tools that would reduce his exposure to advertising materials, but the results of this research indicate that even though consumers are overexposed to advertisements, they still believe that humor on billboards is not present enough and that they would like to see it more precisely for the reason that research has shown that the use of humor is rated as likable by consumers. Starting from the basic definition that humor is a form of communication whose goal is to make the interlocutors laugh and cheer up, the aim of this paper was to investigate the opinion of different publics about humorous billboard advertising solutions and to determine the connection between the use of humor as a tool in billboard advertising, the intention to purchase the advertised product /services and raising awareness about the organization and the advertised product/service. The chosen research method is a survey, and it was conducted with an online survey questionnaire, which enabled the quick and easy collection of a larger number of respondents needed for the implementation of the research task. A wide and heterogeneous sample enabled an insight into the opinions of different members of the population, given that they are all exposed to the advertising (humorous) appeal that is the subject of this research. The obtained results indicated a positive effect of using humor in advertising through billboards, more precisely in increasing the visibility of the brand, i.e. the memory of the advertised product, as well as a generally positive opinion about the use of humor in advertising. Most of the respondents confirmed that humor is a good method of attracting their attention and that they like the humorous approach to advertising through billboards. What are the humor preferences of different groups of people, what is the correlation between humorous advertising and brand building, what type of humor attracts the most attention for a certain brand or economic niche, are just some of the possible research topics and directions. Considering the few and scarce literature in this area, the results of this and similar research can bring useful and practical guidelines to professionals in practice for more precise and effective management of advertising campaigns in the future, and to the scientific community a better understanding of the phenomenon of consumer thinking, i.e. a clearer insight into the connection messages and consumer behaviors of the product or service. This work was created as part of the research for the diploma thesis at the university graduate study of Communication Studies, student Ivona Marenić at the Catholic University of Croatia, 2023.

In addition to numerous international and national criminal and preventive acts and regulations, strict prohibited sanctions, despite the defined business norms, the economy as an activity by which they are acquired and acquired, and disposes of numerous assets, including material ones, is unfortunately not exempt from criminal offenses in which individuals or groups, they want to gain an extraneous benefit. We classify these crimes in the group of economic crimes, and damages from them are caused in private companies, public companies and state and local administration, and the perpetrators can come from among employees or from outside business entities, and a special problem is internationalization and globalization, which this criminal makes the works even more complex. In addition to measurable damage in amounts, these criminal acts are also a danger to the community because they disrupt the system and values. Due to the large amounts of damage to the budget of the European Union, it established a separate prosecutor’s office – EPPO. In the introduction, the paper defines what criminal acts of economic crime are, their problems, and briefly their causes and consequences at the EU level. The search methodology for sources uses the legal acquis of the EU and the legislation of the Republic of Croatia, which define the legal framework for the fight against economic crime. Then, based on the indicators of the Ministry of the Interior, an analysis of the trend of economic crime for the level of the Republic of Croatia is made. In the period from 2013 to 2022, the largest number of these criminal offenses was recorded in 2016, (7111), and observed in the period from 2019 to 2022, there is an increase in the number of these criminal offenses (2019-4137, 2022 -4956), while the most common criminal offenses are Forgery of official or business documents, Abuse of position and authority, etc. In addition to individual criminal offenses, organized groups, internationalization, and the level of perpetrators and their social position are a big problem. The establishment of the European Prosecutor’s Office therefore proved to be justified both in other countries and for the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Namely, numerous damages were prevented by the action of this institution. Based on the research and the author’s personal experiences, recommendations are given for the prevention and suppression of these crimes, which should have a broad social framework. Even with just one criminal act, it is possible to threaten the survival of the company and numerous employees, which managers must keep in mind. In addition to the scope for other research, this points to the consideration of the necessary education and training of management and economics students on the prevention of these criminal acts, as a common good.
Observing one-divalent-metal-ion-dependent and histidine-promoted His-Me family I-PpoI nuclease catalysis in crystallo
Authors: Chang Caleb , Zhou Grace , Gao Yang
Published: August 2024

Metal-ion-dependent nucleases play crucial roles in cellular defense and biotechnological applications. Time-resolved crystallography has resolved catalytic details of metal-ion-dependent DNA hydrolysis and synthesis, uncovering the essential roles of multiple metal ions during catalysis. The histidine-metal (His-Me) superfamily nucleases are renowned for binding one divalent metal ion and requiring a conserved histidine to promote catalysis. Many His-Me family nucleases, including homing endonucleases and Cas9 nuclease, have been adapted for biotechnological and biomedical applications. However, it remains unclear how the single metal ion in His-Me nucleases, together with the histidine, promotes water deprotonation, nucleophilic attack, and phosphodiester bond breakage. By observing DNA hydrolysis in crystallo with His-Me I-PpoI nuclease as a model system, we proved that only one divalent metal ion is required during its catalysis. Moreover, we uncovered several possible deprotonation pathways for the nucleophilic water. Interestingly, binding of the single metal ion and water deprotonation are concerted during catalysis. Our results reveal catalytic details of His-Me nucleases, which is distinct from multi-metal-ion-dependent DNA polymerases and nucleases.
Processing causal structure sentences in Mandarin Chinese: an eye movements study

It remains uncertain whether causal structure prediction can improve comprehension in Chinese sentences and whether the position of the headword mediates the prediction effect. We conducted an experiment to explore the effect of causal prediction and headword position in Chinese sentence reading. Participants were asked to read sentences containing causal connectives with their eye movements recorded. In the experiment, we manipulated the causal structure of the sentence and the position of the headword. We found a promoting effect of causal structure on first-pass reading time and a hindering impact on total reading time. However, the effect was not mediated by the headword position. The results show that causal syntactic prediction facilitated early-stage processing and increased the integration cost in the late stage of Chinese sentence processing. These findings also support the constraint-based approach, which suggests an isolation between semantic and syntactic processing.
Mejorando la retroalimentación de aula: una propuesta elaborada colaborativamente por profesores de aula
Authors:   , Flores Lagos David Alexis
Published: August 2024

Este estudio aborda la indagación con foco en la mejora colaborativa de los procesos de retroalimentación de aula en una escuela rural pública de la región de O’Higgins. La problemática es que los participantes consideran útil la retroalimentación, pero enfrentan desafíos en su aplicación debido a la falta de planificación y estrategias, y perciben que los estudiantes no siempre la valoran o utilizan. El trabajo colaborativo docente era incipiente, afectando su potencial para el desarrollo profesional docente y mejorar la enseñanza. La propuesta de trabajo se desarrolló bajo un enfoque de investigación-acción, involucrando a cuatro docentes y el jefe técnico en la construcción colaborativa de una propuesta de retroalimentación usando la estrategia de estudio de clase. La metodología incluyó grupos focales y reuniones de trabajo para diseñar, implementar y evaluar la propuesta.Los resultados revelan cambios en las percepciones docentes sobre la retroalimentación. Se observan mejoras en las actividades y estrategias utilizadas, así como en las percepciones y comentarios de los estudiantes, según lo reportado por los docentes, aunque aún no es una práctica habitual. También, se evidencian avances en cuanto al desarrollo del trabajo colaborativo entre docentes, evidenciando una transición hacia la asunción de responsabilidades y liderazgo distribuido.
Articulación curricular entre los niveles nt2 y 1° año básico: propuesta de criterios articulatorios desde el principio de singularidad a partir de las voces de niños y niñas
Authors:   , Villarroel Sala Catalina Fernanda
Published: August 2024

La articulación curricular entre Kínder (NT2) y Primer Año Básico (1EGB) es definida como una relación que posibilita el paso de un nivel a otro. Desde la teoría, su calidad se remonta a cómo se realiza el proceso y la toma de decisiones desde las necesidades presentes. En Chile, este proceso es dificultoso y presenta escasos estudios que avalan su realización, debido al poco conocimiento de docentes acerca del proceso (Gajardo, 2010; Iturriaga, 2016; Sáez, 2012).El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo reconstruir las percepciones de niños y niñas de un colegio particular de Santiago frente al plan de articulación curricular institucional entre los niveles NT2 y 1EGB desde el principio de singularidad. Entre los hallazgos de la investigadora se encuentran las emociones, espacios y expectativas como ejes direccionadores de la creación de criterios para la articulación curricular con una mirada centrada en la niñez.La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa y para los resultados se empleó un análisis temático y etnografía visual, con inspiración postestructuralista, destacando aspectos como: vivencias en NT2 y 1EGB, expectativas y percepciones sobre el aprendizaje, buscando del mismo modo, develar cómo los niños y niñas pueden ser parte del diseño curricular, tal como se evidenció en el pasado Congreso Pedagógico Curricular.
