Using a Small Group Approach to Increase Church Growth in the Gikondo Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Nsengimana Schadrack
Published: June 2023

Problem. Although many people are baptized at the Gikondo Seventh-day Adventist Church each year, about 70% leave the church shortly after baptism. Method. The biblical principles of church growth were studied and theological reflection focused on four biblical themes. First, the call to integrate the Great Commission into the daily life and relationships of the individual believer in Christ was examined. Second, church growth as faithfulness to God was explored as a biblical teaching. Third, the view that a healthy church embraces multiplication of disciples as its core responsibility was studied from a biblical perspective. Fourth, the role of the pastor as equipper and trainer was also studied. Ellen G. White’s books and the writings of other Christian authors dealing with small groups were studied; literature on strategies of church growth was also consulted. Books and articles on the principles, strategies, and programs to help pastors develop small groups in the local church for evangelism and nurture were consulted. A church growth study covering the ten previous years was conducted and then all 14 church elders and 30 additional members were interviewed to ascertain their views regarding a small group approach. All of them were open to using small groups as a basis for the church’s ministries, so a strategy was developed and implemented to start such a program. A training program was developed to train small group leaders in the Gikondo Church. Results. The Gikondo church members learned how to use a small group approach as a basis for the church’s ministries, which led to increased church growth. The small group approach contributed to both quantitative and qualitative growth. Groups increased from 44 in 2012 to 103 in 2014. In addition, 55 pre-Christians joined the small groups and 38 of them have been baptized. Conclusions. I discovered that for continued numerical and spiritual growth, a local church must continue to multiply its small group ministries. Intentional discipleship through a small group ministry is one way to help believers and non-believers experience God in their lives and to support them in their journey towards becoming deeply committed disciples of Christ. Small groups have also increased the involvement of many church members in Bible study and in the different church ministries.
A Strategy to Share the Gospel with the Hindu Community in the South Kenya Conference
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Oruta Willys
Published: June 2023

Problem The Adventist Church in the South Kenya Conference has not developed a strategy to share the Gospel with the Hindu community. The Hindu community is generally looked at as an idol worshipping group. However, this community conducts most of the business in many towns in Kenya. For this reason, they should not be neglected because God wants them to be part of His kingdom. Jesus died for the salvation of the whole world; therefore, a strategy to share the Gospel with the Hindu community is a divine command. In the South Kenya Conference, particularly in Kisii, the Hindu community has been there for a long time doing business, but very little has been done to share the Gospel with them. Method The development of this strategy involved an analysis of the Bible passages both in the Old and the New Testaments on God’s attitude towards unreached people groups. It also reviewed Ellen G. White’s writing, Adventist authors, and other Christian literature. The social cultural context of Kisii County and the religious background of the Hindu community was analyzed. A Gantt chart and logical framework approach was used in the organization of the project, indicating activities and time frames. The implementation process involved interviewing focus groups, training, and the use of Indian informants. Finally, monitoring and evaluation was conducted and results analyzed. Results The researcher was able to create contact with key Hindu leaders within Kisii County and has managed to enlist 14 members from the community with whom discussions are ongoing. Among the 14 one lady from an Adventist background has shown interest for her sons to be baptized into the Adventist church. The churches within Kisii New Life District are also willing to continue reaching out to the Hindu community. Conclusions The Hindu community is an unreached people group in Kenya and particularly Kisii County that should not be neglected. This project has demonstrated that if time and resources are focused on taking the Gospel to the Hindu community, progress can be made in sharing the gospel with Hindus.
A Biblical Strategy to Promote Christian Morality Among Youth in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Zambia Union Conference
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Namitondo Tommy
Published: June 2023

Problem A good number of the youth in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia are openly involved in immoral behavior. The youth blame peer pressure and modernity for their lack of Christian morality. The issue is whether youth in today's atmosphere can maintain a biblical norm of moral purity. Method A systematic study of the Bible was made. Then the writings of Ellen G. White, other Adventist writers, and other Christian authors were reviewed. This data was used to develop seminar materials for teaching Christian morality to young people. Four congregations were selected to pilot a program to demonstrate that youth can achieve Christian morality when they become more active in church programs. Eight focus groups were formed to help in implementing the project. Two seminars were held. The first was "Staying Morally Upright" and the second was "God's Healing Power." An evaluation was done before and after the presentations. Results The experience of discussing moral issues that affect the youth in particular generated interest for the youth and aided the determination of several to live a moral Christian life. The seminars and the evaluation done revealed that the youth were willing to change and demonstrate they can adhere to Christian moral standards. The youth were revived to lead a Christian moral life. More youth participated in church programs and chose good Christian partners and married in the church. Conclusion The project was to implement a program to promote Christian morality among Seventh- day Adventist youth. We now have a cadre of youth who are willing to participate more actively in church programs than those who did not participate in the seminars. Youth who had been involved in immoral behavior determined to change. They embarked on the healing journey indicated in the second seminar.
Toward a Biblical Model of Culturally Appropriate Persuasion for the Evangelistic Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Imo State, Nigeria
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Ntiwunka Aloysius
Published: June 2023

Problem. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a worldwide denomination, but it is one of the smallest in Imo State, Nigeria, even though 90% of the population is Christian, Protestant and Catholic, with only 2% Muslim. Since most of the population of Imo State is Christian, the common belief in God should open the opportunity to present the unique teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church; namely, the message of the Three Angels of Revelation. However, numerous approaches to evangelism do not seem to have been successful in producing changes in the lives of the citizens. Method. This project document followed a descriptive research method and includes a review of literature related to persuasion, a presentation of the historical context of cultural persuasion in Imo State, Nigeria, and a study of models, procedures, and principles involved in incorporating a biblical model of persuasion, followed by a model developed specifically for Imo State. Projected Results. Based on a biblical model of ministry to meet the needs of the community, holistic methods will be incorporated into outreach, such as a food pantry, health lectures, and home visits. The hope is that Seventh-day Adventists living in Imo State, Nigeria can learn to persuade others of their authentic faith in God and the message of the Three Angels of Revelation. Conclusions. Christian outreach often involves coercion, a compliance-gaining approach. Forceful persuasive strategies can be replaced with a biblical model of persuasion, even though coercive strategies are still being used globally, as well as by the leaders of Imo State, Nigeria. An article published by Scalia (Scalia, 2012) suggests that evangelism is meant to persuade and not provoke. It is thought that a biblical model of persuasion will change the declining growth pattern.
Comparative Analysis of the woman and </>женщина Conceptual Representation in English and Russian Languages in the Localization of the Series “The Handmaid's Tale”
Authors: Stepanova N. V. , Matveeva V. N.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The  topic  of  this  study  is  a  cognitive  semantic  analysis  of  the woman/женщина conceptual  representation  in  the  localization of the  series  “The Handmaid's Tale”. Due to the increasing interest in foreign series, the problem of localizing film texts is of particular importance. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the  need  to  study  the  mass  culture  products  from a  linguistic  point  of  view  to  draw conclusions about the most relevant problems of the modern society.

Methodology and sources. The  study  aims  to  obtain  objective  conclusions  about  the structure and content of the woman/женщина concepts within a given film discourse. In the course  of  the  research,  such  methods  as  definition  and  lexicographic  analysis  of synonymous  lines,  continuous  sampling  method,  Antconc  machine  analysis,  as  well  as  a cognitive semantic and comparative analysis of the original and localized text were used. The research material is the first season of the TV series “The Handmaid's Tale”, as well as its Russian adaptation. The amount of the analyzed material is 50 000 words.

Results and discussion.  The  categorical  structure  of  the  woman concept  consists  of 23 cognitive characteristics, which form 13 classification features. The material under study illustrates the equal level of lexical diversity of the original and localized  texts. The most common  transformation  is  the  replacement  of  a  part  of  speech  since  one-to-one correspondences do not always suit the norms of the translating language. Phraseological units included in the nominative fields of the woman/женщина concepts can be divided into 6 categories and nominate a woman as an object of social and personal relations.

Conclusion. The woman/женщина concepts in the framework of a given film discourse are constructed  around  the  idea  of  the  subordinate  position  of  a  woman.  The  predominant component is the interpretative field, which includes emotionally and stylistically charged units.  Thus,  the  evaluative  essence  of  the  concept  under  study  is  doubtless.  Translation transformations enabling a translator to reverbalize the concept with minimal losses are widely used in the localization.
Linguo-Conceptual Studies of Literary Text: Evolution of Theoretical and Methodological Approaches
Authors: Kononova I. V. , Pruczkikh T. A.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The  article  presents  the  results  of  an  analytical  review  of  scientific  papers reflecting  the  stages  of  formation  and  development  of  cognitive  poetics  as  an interdisciplinary  research  area  in  Russian  linguistics.  The  purpose  of  the  article  is  to systematize and critically analyze approaches, concepts and methodological principles of the study of concepts that constitute the cognitive basis of literary texts, authors’ idiostyles and, by extension, of poetic sociolects and literary genres.

Methodology  and  sources. The  paper  reviews  theoretical  concepts  and  approaches (developed by R. Tsur, P. Stockwell, I.A. Tarasova, N.S. Bolotnova, L.O. Butakova, etc.), which served as the foundations of cognitive poetics. A comparative analysis of works focusing on the structure of literary concepts, their textual representation aspect and categorization criteria is carried out. The studies which concentrate on the application of corpus methods in order to analyze literary texts, including the works by B. Fischer-Starcke, D. Siepmann, A. Stefanowitsch, M. Mahlberg, etc., also formed the methodological basis for the analytical review.

Results and discussion. As a result of the review study, the evolution of theoretical and methodological  approaches  to  literary  concepts  and  literary  texts’  ideospheres  is demonstrated. The main concepts that influenced the formation of cognitive poetics are identified; the relevant problems of cognitive studies of poetic and prose texts are analyzed. It’s  shown  that  it  is  necessary  to  further  consider  the  problem  of  identifying  dominant concepts of authors’ idiostyles describing cognitive mechanisms that underlie the semantic variability of individual concepts. The importance of using corpus methodology in the study of literary discourse in its synchronic and diachronic perspective is discussed.

Conclusion. It is shown that, despite the fact that the author's creative consciousness has been  studied  intensively  and  for  a  long  time  in  Russian  cognitive  poetics,  there  are  still problems  that  need  further  consideration.  The  following  aspects  must  be  analyzed:  the criteria for choosing the method of modeling a literary concept, taking into consideration its type; the elaboration of uniform terminology in existing approaches; the development of the algorithms for describing the structure of literary concepts and identifying conceptual dominants  of  authors’  ideospheres.  A  conclusion  was  made  regarding  the  potential  of applying  corpus  research  methods  in  the  field  of  cognitive  poetics.  A  range  of  the  tasks related to the cognitive research of literary texts that could be solved by using statistical methods of corpus linguistics was determined.
Ecosystem of the University as a Subject of Educational Analytics
Authors: Shipunova O. D. , Pozdeeva E. G. , Evseeva L. I.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. New trends in the philosophical analysis of higher education development are associated  with  the  prospects  for  an  interdisciplinary  approach  to  organizing  coordinated processes  in  the  multidisciplinary  university,  taking  into  account  the  peculiarities  of information and intellectual technology of digital culture. The University with the unity of its functional connections presents a complex multilevel ecosystem, which state is determined by the intersection of the interests of various subjects included into the vocational training system.  This  article  examines  the  convergence  processes  in  the  university  ecosystem associated  with  educational  strategy  planning,  in  particular  with  the  coordination  process between the university goals and expectations of employers and graduates.

Methodology  and  sources. The  research  is  based  on  the  system  methodology  and principles of the communicative action theory. In the university ecosystem, the key role in the  functional  connections  organization  is  played  by  the  processes  of  convergence  in relation  to  the  intentions  of  the  participants  of  interaction  in  the  educational  space,  the identification of attitudes that motivate cooperation and mutual reinforcement of optimal behavioral strategies. The empirical basis is the statistical data from a number of sociological surveys  conducted  at  Peter  the  Great  St.  Petersburg  Polytechnic  University,  as  well  as research data on the target attitudes of companies in their interaction with universities.

Results and discussion. Comparison of the level of consistency of companies' requests in finding employees and the educational goals of the university showed a common desire to form  a  high  potential  of  future  employees,  which  requires  pedagogical  technologies  to motivate  and  develop  project  skills  and  constructive  activities.  In  the  university development,  an  important  factor  is  the  formation  of  a  common  field  of  goals  and expectations realized in the graduate model, with account of the industry knowledge and new technologies development, as well as formation of skills that characterize the potential of self-development in the future profession.

Conclusion. The  development  of  an  ecosystem  approach  in  the  analysis  of  modern university  activities  has  revealed  prospects  for  combining  university  knowledge  with practical  skills  in  planning  various  forms  of  partnership  with  business  and  other representatives  of  the  professional  community.  Convergence  processes  in  the  university ecosystem ensure the interpenetration of pedagogical technologies and agent strategies in achieving high-quality professional training.
Representation of the Frame HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY EATING in American Media Discourse
Authors: Kulchitskaya E. R.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The  article  considers  the  problem  of  frame  modeling  of  the  HEALTHY/ UNHEALTHY EATING concept applying the methods of corpus linguistics. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that no previous attempts have been made to model the  frame  of  the  HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY  EATING  concept.  The  relevance  of  the  research  is conditioned by the use of the collocation method to study the structure of the frame.

Methodology  and  sources.  The  analysis  of the  structure  of  the  HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY EATING concept was based on the method of frame modeling and the method of collocation allocation.  The  collocations  selected  in  the  texts  of  the  News  on  the  Web  (NOW)  corpus served as an empirical basis for the study. The NOW corpus contains more than 16 billion words of data from web newspapers and magazines.

Results  and  discussions.  The  article  presents  a  hierarchical  model  of  the HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY  EATING  frame,  highlights  the  following  terminal  slots “healthy/unhealthy  food(s)”,  “healthy/unhealthy  cooking”,  “healthy/unhealthy  weight”, “eating  regularity”,  “eating  moderation”,  “eating  balance”,  “eating  mindfulness”,  “eating irregularity”,  “eating  excessiveness”,  “eating  imbalance”,  “eating  mindlessness”,  “eating disorders”. The analysis of the collocations obtained, verbalizing each separate slot of the HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY  EATING  frame  in  the  NOW  case,  allowed  us  to  draw  conclusions about the structure of subordinate subframes.

Conclusion. The study shows that each individual slot of the frame under consideration has a complex structure, including terminal nodes-slots. The analysis of the selected collocations reveals  those  aspects  of  the  HEALTHY/UNHEALTHY  EATING  concept  that  are  most  often discussed  in  media  discourse.  This  includes  ideas  about  eating  mindfulness,  regularity, moderation, eating disorders and various types of diets.
Søren Kierkegaard’s “Man in Search of God” as a Cultural and Anthropological Type
Authors: Klyukina L. A.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. This article attempts to present Søren Kierkegaard’s “man in search of God” as  a  cultural  and  anthropological  type  of  a  person  that  shapes  their  self-cognition independently in the dimension of their existence.

Methodology and sources. The following sources are referred to in this article: “Fear and Trembling”  and  “The  Gospel  of  Sufferings”  by  Søren  Kierkegaard; works  of  ante-revolutionary and  modern  Russian  authors  L.I.  Shestov,  N.A.  Berdyaev,  B.E.  Bykhovsky, P.P. Gidenko, S.S. Khoruzhy, E.N. Levicheva, V.A. Podoroga, V.D. Gubin, L.A. Klyukina; texts by researchers foreign to Russia, such as U. Hubben, T.V. Schitsova. To research and describe the  experience  of  a  person’s  self-actualization  in  Kierkegaard’s  “movement  of  faith”,  the ideas of M.K. Mamardashvili’s phenomenological approach have been employed.

Results and discussion. This article demonstrates that it is not faith but search for faith that is the aim of Kierkegaard’s philosophy and meaning of his existence. This is because only in the “movement of faith” is a person able to actualize their inner self in their outer self, or face their own self that searches for God. For Kierkegaard, the example of this is Jesus Christ. With the help of Christ as symbol, a person is capable of comprehending the soul’s immortality as the metaphysical dimension of a human being.

In the context of Mamardashvili’s phenomenological approach, the author of this articles shows  that  understanding  Christ  as  the  symbol  of  a  person’s  self-actualization  and  selffulfillment can be interpreted as the experience of distinguishing between the symbols of time  and  infinity  in  consciousness.  This  very  reality  of  distinguishing  between  time  and infinity and having to choose between them is referred to in this article as “dynamic infinity”, which is equivalent to Kierkegaard’s notions of “movement of faith” and “moment”.

Conclusion.  The  author  concludes  that  in  post-modern  world,  when  a  typical  person  is experiencing acutely the loss of fundamental autonomous individuality while the erosion of personal origin in culture is leading to dehumanization and disintegration of society, Søren Kierkegaard’s  “man  in  search  of  God”  can  become  a  reference  point  for  developing  an individual thinking and integral personality.
Human Sciences: Another Experience of Substantiating Socio-Humanitarian Knowledge
Authors: Plebanek O. V.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The  article  raises  the  problem  of  methodological  foundations  of  sociohumanitarian knowledge. The opinion that has been established since the constitution of the  social  and  humanitarian  sciences  that  there  are  fundamental  differences  in  the methodology of natural science and socio-humanitarian knowledge has become perceived as an axiom. This situation did not contribute to the creation of an adequate theory capable of sufficiently implementing the explanatory and predictive functions of science in this area.

Methodology and sources. Obstacles to the creation of an adequate methodology for the study of human existence are misunderstood thesis about the specifics of socio-humanitarian knowledge and inadequate understanding of the nature of the object of socio-humanitarian knowledge. The unity of criteria and standards of scientific research in the natural sciences and socio-humanitarian sciences is achieved on the basis of the post-non-classical model of science. The concept of scientific paradigms developed by V.S. Stepin can serve as a source of a new approach to the formation of the methodology of socio-humanitarian knowledge.

Results and discussion. The classical model of scientific research posited the opposite of the method of natural and socio-humanitarian sciences on the basis of the opposite of the methods of mastering the objects of research: sensory means and intelligible. In this way, indeed, it is impossible to combine the criteria and standards of science in relation to natural science and socio-humanitarian research.

Conclusion. The post-non-classical model of science is based on the understanding of the research  object  from  the  point  of  view  of  its  structure,  which  allows  us  to  consider  the phenomena of human existence as having a single nature with the object of natural science, since in both cases, objects have a complex, systemic nature and belong to self-developing objects.
Distance Education: Parents' Perception
Authors: Abramova M. A. , Kamenev R. V.
Published: June 2023

Introduction.  The  relevance  of  the study  is  due  to  the  lack  of  information  for  analyzing parents' perception of the problems of introducing distance learning in secondary schools in the conditions of COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to compare the specifics of parents' perception of opportunities and problems of distance learning in conditions of self– isolation by parents in different regions of Russia, as well as to identify attitudes that determine the prospects for its further implementation.

Methodology and sources. The theoretical base is represented by the works of Russian authors  about  the  family  (A.I. Antonov, O.M. Zdravomyslova,  G.G.  Filippova).  A  review  of foreign studies of parenthood focuses on its socializing function (R. Benedict, A. Cardiner, M.  Spiro).  A  separate  block  of  works  is  devoted  to  the  problems  of  the  introduction  of  distance  education  (Gül  Özüdoğru;  Lee;  Zhao  et  al;  Garrote  et  al,  Bezrukikh  et  al,  R.S. Zvyagintsev, Yu.D. Kershi, M.A. Pinskoy). The study is based on systematic and activity-based approaches that consider parents as one of the most important factors in improving the effectiveness of distance learning. The article presents the results of an on-line survey of parents (N = 1526) in four regions of Russia (Leningrad and Irkutsk regions, Stavropol and the Republic of Bashkortostan). Data processing was carried out using the SPSS program.

Results  and  discussion.  The opinion on the implementation of distance learning was studied not only regarding the education of children, but also the possibilities of using technology by parents. The study showed that they quite objectively assess the problems of implementing  distance  learning.  Parents  are  not  inclined  to  criticize  the  school,  but  they doubt the prospects of implementing the technology in the format it was introduced, arguing that it costs a lot for health, unavailability of technical equipment and the level of training of both students and schools. In relation to their training using distance learning technologies, the statements were positive.

Conclusion.  A comparison of parents' responses by region showed, on the one hand, a commonality of opinions, and on the other, a significant impact on the results of the assessment of socio–cultural specifics associated with the dominant type of management, the demand for digital skills in the regional labor market.
Konseling Keluarga dalam Perspektif Karisma Max Weber untuk Mengatasi Konflik Pasangan Suami Istri
Authors: Fadhil Ahmad
Published: June 2023

In addition of spreading the religious teachings, religious experts are also tasked with assisting people in solving their daily lives such as family problems. They are visited by their followers through informal channels, namely outside the institutions provided by the state such as the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), the Advisory Board for the Development and Preservation of Marriage (BP4), and the ReligiousCourts. From a counseling point of view, this is discussed as family counseling. This paper will discuss this phenomenon from a sociological point of view to understand the meaning and scope of family conflict within the framework of Max Weber's charisma theory. In conclusion, family conflict itself is basically natural and neutral or can have a positive or negative value. Among the three types of charisms proposed by Weber, namely prophetic, magical, and institutional hegemony, the ulama have hegemony over the ummah in the institutional charism category

Mathematical and Statistical Model for Assessing the Impact of COVID-19 Waves on the Regional System (on the Example of the Kirov Region)
Authors: Karaulova L. V. , Karaulov V. M. , Vishnyakov A. V.
Published: June 2023

Since the f rst outbreak in China and the spread of COVID-19 in dif erent countries of the world, the study of mathematical models of the spread of the epidemic has begun and is intensively continuing. Such models are dynamic and of en based on dif erential or dif erence equations. As a rule, these models require an identif cation procedure to determine unknown parameters. But for a number of reasons, unambiguous identif cation of such parameters cannot be performed. For example, the preparation of statistical data for the identif cation procedure may be performed in various ways. T erefore, the preferred method of data preprocessing is to approximate them with the most appropriate functional dependence.

T e study shows that epidemic curves may be represented by a superposition of several local waves — an outbreak of an epidemic in a particular region consists of many local waves and some of them may merge into one common wave. In this article, it is proposed to use analogs of the normal distribution density function to predict waves of new COVID-19 cases. T e purpose of the article was to develop a model of the dynamics of the total number of cases and new cases of COVID-19, taking into account the waves of the epidemic and the impact on the regional socioeconomic system.

T e study was conducted on the basis of data on the incidence of COVID-19 in the Kirov region4 in 2020—2022. It is shown that the chosen model describes statistical data well and allows making  realistic forecasts for the total number of diseases and new cases of diseases. T e results of the study may be used to develop preventive measures to prevent the spread of the disease and allow assessing the impact of the epidemiological situation on the socio-economic system of the region.

Published: June 2023

Ocean thermal energy conversion is an attempt to convert potential energy in the variances heat content of seawater into other energy by utilizing the temperature change between the sea surface and deep sea at least 20°C. The Lembata waters is near to the equator, sea surface temperature tends to be warm and stable. This research was conducted to estimate the potential energy generated from a closed cycle OTEC system in North Lembata Waters. This study used temperature data from Global Ocean Physics Reanalysis from Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) for 9 years (2012-2020) in 6 stations. Validation was performed using the primary CTD Lembata OTEC Team of the Marine Geological Institute (MGI). Temperature data validation results on the MSE (Mean Square Error), RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) methods are considered to represent field temperature conditions. The variability value shows the station point in the North Lembata Waters has a temperature with slight differences. The vertical temperature change (ΔT) shows between 20.98°C to 23.44°C. Potential electric power resulting from the OTEC system using the technical estimation formula. The average net power generated from those temperature gradients ranges from 5.65 MW-7.56 MW, respectively. The Lembata waters have temperature conditions suitable for OTEC installations. Station C-4 has a power potential of 6.84 MW with a depth of 763 m and the distance of 1.86 km from the coastline. Station C-4 in the Omesuri sub-district is the best point for OTEC installation in North Lembata Waters.

60-72 aylık çocukların benlik algıları incelenerek, sosyal problem çözme becerisine etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden genel tarama modelinde tasarlanmış olan bu çalışmada Konya ili Selçuklu ilçesinde anaokuluna devam eden yaş ortalamaları 66.7 ay olan 43 kız, 74 erkek toplam 117 çocuk çalışma grubuna dahil edilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında “Demoulin Benlik Algısı Ölçeği” ve “Sosyal Problem Çözme Becerileri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde katılımcılardan 20’sinin düşük (%17.1), 61’inin orta (%52.1), 36’sının yüksek (%30.8) benlik öz saygısına sahip olduğu; 28’inin düşük (%23.9), 68’inin orta (%58.1), 21’inin ise yüksek (%17.9) benlik öz yeterliliğine sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Çocukların sahip oldukları öz saygıları ile sosyal problem çözme becerileri arasındaki fark incelendiğinde, yüksek benlik saygısına sahip çocukların düşük benlik saygısına sahip çocuklardan sosyal problem çözme becerileri puanlarının anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ancak farklı benlik öz yeterliliklerine sahip çocukların sosyal problem çözme beceri puanlarında herhangi bir anlamlı farka rastlanmamıştır. Ayrıca katılımcıların sosyal problem çözme beceri puanlarının cinsiyete göre de farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür.

The reaction of ethanol conversion to acetone on binary cerium-zinc oxide catalysts has been studied. It has been established that the reaction products of the conversion of ethyl alcohol on binary cerium-zinc oxide catalysts are ethylene, acetaldehyde, acetone, carbon dioxide and, at high temperatures, destructive decomposition products. The highest yield of acetone is observed on samples rich in zinc at temperatures of the order of 450-550°C, while catalysts rich in cerium are active in the reaction of dehydration of ethanol to ethylene. In this work, the acid properties of cerium-zinc oxide catalysts were evaluated by their activity in the isomerization of butene-1 to trans and cis butenes-2. It was found that cerium-rich catalysts are active in butene-1 isomerization reaction. The activities of cerium-zinc oxide catalysts in the reactions of the conversion of ethanol to acetone and the isomerization of butene-1 into trans and cis butenes-2 are compared. It was found that the reaction of the conversion of ethanol to acetone proceeds on the centers of the basic nature, and the formation of ethylene proceeds on the centers of the acidic nature.

Triopanca mart is a mini-market belonging to the Infantry Battalion 305 Para Raider Unit located on Jl. Raya Teluk Jambe, Sirnabaya, Kec. Teluk Jambe Timur, Kab. Karawang, West Java 41360. This mini market operates in the retail sector, managed directly by members of the 305th Para Raider Infantry Battalion. The current running system, namely the data processing of incoming and outgoing goods, is still being recorded. Into a ledger according to receipts and stock inventory, only recorded on a piece of paper then copied back to the computer input using excel by the warehouse admin. Problems that often arise are usually related to the accuracy of the number of goods and stock information; sometimes, the information provided does not follow existing goods' availability. This study aims to create a web-based inventory information system model that can manage incoming and outgoing goods and inventory using the Waterfall method and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for structural modeling.
