Epistemological and methodological aspectes and problems of conceptual debate of fallibilism and infallibilism / Эпистемологические и методологические аспекты и проблемы концептуального спора фаллибилизма и инфаллибилизма
Authors: Akelyan Davit G.
Published: December 2023

Within the framework of the problem of philosophical epistemology and philosophy of science of the 20th century, the opposing conceptual dispute between fallibilism and infallibilism has been repeatedly considered, but in the professional literature it has been discussed for the most part in a very general form and only in the context of some epistemological problems, which does not make a separate consideration of individual aspects of the problem relevant. The purpose of this work is to clarify the epistemological and methodological aspects of the conceptual dispute between fallibilism and infallibilism, as well as the epistemological and methodological significance and problematic nature of each concept. At the same time, in the context of the formulated problem, the problem of conceptual preference is considered, which is understood as the formulation of arguments related to concepts from the epistemological and methodological points of view of the dispute, and the problem of forming a possible specific preference between the concept on this basis. The role of optimistic fallibilism in the conceptual dispute between fallibilism and infallibilism and the formation of epistemological and methodological foundations for solving a number of other problems in the philosophy of science is especially emphasized. To achieve the goals and solve problems, the following questions were formulated:
1. What are the epistemological and methodological problems and arguments of fallibilism and infallibilism in the context of a conceptual dispute?
2. Which concept is more preferable from the point of view of overcoming epistemological and methodological difficulties and problems?

FAHREDDÎN ER-RÂZÎ’DE KAZA VE KADER İNANCI
Authors: AKDENİZ Ahmet
Published: December 2023

Kaza ve kader meselesi, İslam inancında önemli bir yere sahiptir. İslam’ın bidayetinden itibaren bu mesele etrafında çeşitli fikir ayrılıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu fikirlerden bir kısmı insanı yüceltirken, bir kısmı da insanı tamamıyla işlevsiz kılmıştır. Tez ve antitez arasında sentez oluşturmaya çalışan bazı düşünürler ise, insanı sorumlulukları bağlamında özgür, Allah’ın kudreti ve ilmi karşısında ise aciz olarak değerlendirmek suretiyle orta yolu bulmaya gayret etmişlerdir.

Sentezci yaklaşımın kelam ilmindeki temsilcilerinin Ehl-i sünnet kelamcıları olduğu söylenebilir. Ehl-i sünnet ekolünün yetiştirdiği en önemli simalardan biri olan Fahreddîn er-Râzî, kaza ve kader meselesine bu perspektiften yaklaşmaya çalışmıştır. Felsefî-kelam (memzûc) döneminin en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olarak o, kaza ve kader konusunu aklî ve naklî delillerle izah etmeye çalışmıştır. Râzî, mensubu olduğu Eş‘arîyye’nin kaza ve kader anlayışını eserlerine yansıtmıştır. Ne var ki o, Eş‘arî geleneğinde ön plana çıkarılan “kesb” kavramı yerine, “cebr” lafzını kullanmayı tercih etmiştir.

Kaza ve kaderi iman esaslarından biri olarak kabul eden Râzî, bu hususun ezeli planda kesin bir hüvviyete kavuştuğunu ısrarla dile getirmektedir. Bu düşünceye bağlı olarak onun kelamî sisteminde insan, “özgür görünümlü mücber varlık” şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Yani insan, fiilin varlık sahasına çıkarılması bakımından muztar, fiilin seçimi ve sorumluluğu bakımından ise faal ve etkindir. Ancak eserlerinde Allah’ın ezeli takdiri, sonsuz ilmi ve kudreti ile ilgili hususlar güçlü bir şekilde dile getirilirken, sorumluluk hususundaki ifadelerinin nispeten zayıf kaldığı gözlemlenmektedir.

FROM GRIT TO LIFE SATISFACTION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS: PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AS A MEDIATOR
Authors: Xiaomei Zhang , Yew Ju Soon-
Published: December 2023

This present conceptual paper intends to explore and investigate college students’ life satisfaction in Ji’nan, China. College students’ life satisfaction has emerged as one of the most prominent indices relating to health, and it remains a severe challenge to be measured for educational organizations due to its subjective characteristics. However, it may be tested by its predictors. The prior literature about the relationship between grit, psychological capital, and college students’ life satisfaction has been reviewed, through which the inconsistency between grit and life satisfaction has been revealed. Therefore, this paper tries to explain the relationship between college students’ life satisfaction and grit by the mediating effect of psychological capital, which may be a new conceptual model seldom conducted in previous studies, especially in Ji’nan.

Published: December 2023

Parents are central figures in the children's learning process and their involvement in the preschool does have an influence on the effectiveness of the learning process. However, parents in Malaysia are facing the issue of a lack of opportunities for involvement in the preschool in which their children study. This is believed to be affecting the learning efficiency of the children. A quantitative study using the convenience sampling method was used to source 390 respondents. The objective involves exploring how the role of the parents of preschools can result in a child being able to learn more efficiently. The results of the survey were analyzed with SPSS version 26. The findings of the Pearson’s correlation test and multiple regression test results have shown that parental involvement in parents’ involvement in the teaching method used in preschools, and parents’ involvement in a certain degree of school-based activities at the preschool are all very important to ensure better learning efficiency of the children. The main implication of these findings is that preschools are recommended preschool teaching methods, and school-based activities, and this is to ensure parents are able to make a positive decision to choose a preschool that can provide their children with quality education.

O podcast é uma ferramenta digital que resgata a oralidade; por meio dele qualquer pessoa pode ouvir, por arquivos de áudio ou em aplicativos, um assunto de interesse pessoal. Na Educação em Solos destacam-se experiências exitosas de diversas instituições de ensino produzindo vídeos para o Youtube com atividades práticas/lúdicas, materiais didáticos digitais/impressos e, mais recentemente para as redes sociais que tem por intuito ajudar docentes e estudantes, principalmente do ensino médio e fundamental a compreender o tema solos. Por não encontrarmos podcasts que falavam diretamente sobre a educação em solos, decidimos criar no ano de 2022: o Mangue Pedocast, com a produção e lançamento de seis episódios através dos principais agregadores deste tipo de mídia. O presente texto foi fruto de um trabalho de conclusão de curso que teve por objetivo avaliar o uso do podcast na divulgação e conscientização sobre a importância do solo para a conservação do meio ambiente. A ferramenta se mostrou promissora frente a amplitude de alcance territorial, entretanto o número de reproduções foi abaixo do esperado com uma redução ao longo do ano, o que acreditamos estar relacionada à divulgação limitada dos conteúdos. Conclui-se que deverá ser repensado tanto o formato quanto as estratégias para divulgação dos episódios para garantir melhor êxito na continuidade dos programas.

Evaluation of Methanol Sprays in Marine Internal Combustion Engines: a Case Study for Port Fuel Injection Systems
Authors: Zoumpourlos Konstantinos , Coraddu Andrea , Geertsma Rinze , Van de Ketterij Robert
Published: December 2023

Methanol has emerged as a cost-effective and scalable alternative fuel for the maritime sector. However, the use of methanol in marine engines is limited by the unknown characteristics of methanol sprays when introduced through retrofitted port fuel injection (PFI) systems. The present study investigates the characteristics of methanol sprays under relevant conditions for marine engines, such as low injection pressure PFI. The primary objective of this research is to advance knowledge into key spray characteristics, including spray penetration, droplet size, atomization quality, and evaporation. The proposed methodology evaluates the efficacy of state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models in simulating PFI marine engine spray conditions. Moreover, the study compares the performance of the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH-RT) and Taylor Analogy Breakup (TAB) droplet breakup models under low injection pressure conditions. The results demonstrated that the KH-RT model does not predict any droplet breakup occurrence suggesting that the TAB model is more suitable for the given conditions. Furthermore, the liquid penetration of the spray was observed to align with the outcomes reported in previous experimental literature on methanol sprays. Nevertheless, the droplet sizes for low pressure injectors appear relatively large, indicating poor spray atomization, which impedes rapid evaporation and increases the risk of wall wetting in the inlet manifold and combustion chamber.
Comparative Study on the Performance of Marine Diesel Engines Running on Diesel/Methanol and Diesel/Natural Gas Mode
Authors: Yao Weihe , Ding Yu , Ben Hongkai , Xiang La
Published: December 2023

With the increasingly stringent requirements of international decarbonization regulations, the shipping industry has accelerated the pace of exploiting low-carbon fuels. Methanol is one of the most prospective substitute fuels featured with low-carbon content, clean combustion and easy storage. For marine diesel/methanol dual-fuel engine applications, a certain quantity of diesel is typically used to ensure a stable ignition and combustion. However, the combustion and emission characteristics as well as the stable operation window of marine diesel/methanol dual-fuel engines under different operating loads have not yet been well investigated. In this study, a marine diesel/natural gas dual-fuel engine was used as a prototype to develop a 3D simulation model using CONVERGE, which was then validated using experimental data under different operating loads. The validated model was then employed to investigate the effects of methanol substitution rate (MSR) on the combustion and emission characteristics under the diesel/methanol operation mode. By monitoring the abnormal combustion phenomena such as misfire and knocking, the maximum MSR under different operating conditions was identified. Finally, the engine performances of diesel/natural gas and diesel/methanol modes were compared in terms of combustion and emission characteristics. The results show that the maximum MSR tends to increase first (from 5% to 43% under operation load from 25% to 75%) and then decrease (from 43% to 20% under operation load from 75% to 100%) with increasing operating load owing to the misfire limitation at low load and knocking limitation at high load, respectively. Comparing to the prototype diesel/natural gas mode, the diesel/methanol mode exhibited a shorter combustion duration with increased NOx emissions. The results obtained from this study are expected to guide the operation management of marine diesel/methanol dual fuel engines, and thus help reduce ships’ CO2 emissions.
ASR-I SAADET VE HULEFÂ-yi RÂŞİDÎN DÖNEMİNDE YETİMLERE VERİLEN HAKLARIN İSLÂM HUKUKU BAĞLAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

İslam hukukunun hükümlerinin teşekkül ettiği İslam’ın ilk yıllarında yetimlerin haklarına dair gelişmeleri konu edinen bu çalışma, bu süreçte yetimlerle ilgili yapılan hukukî düzenlemeleri ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. İslâm tarihi kaynaklarında yetimler hakkında zengin bir literatür olmakla birlikte İslam’ın ilk yılları olan Asr-ı Saâdet ve Hulefâ-yi Râşidîn dönemlerinde bu paralelde kurumsallaşmanın olmadığı dolayısı ile çalışmaya bu perspektiften bakılması gerektiği dikkate alınmalıdır. Hz. Peygamber’in yaşadığı Mekke ve Medine dönemleri, İslam’ın oluşum ve devletleşme süreçleridir. Bu süreçler toplumda yerleşmiş olan yetimlere yönelik yanlış algıların kaldırılmaya çalışıldığı ve hedeflenen ideal toplumda yetimlerin haklarına dair hukukî temellerin atıldığı bir dönemdir. Fakat yapılan çalışma bu hususta kurumsallaşmanın daha sonra kurulan İslam devletleri tarafından gerçekleştirildiğini göstermektedir. Hz. Peygamber ve Hulefâ-yi Râşidîn döneminde kurumsallaşmadan daha çok var olan hükümlerin topluma kabullendirilmesi ve işlevsel hale gelmesi sağlanmıştır. Bu hükümlerin toplumda tezahür etmesinin ve kurumsallaşmasının ise Emevi, Abbasi, Selçuklu ve daha çok Osmanlı devleti döneminde olduğu görülmektedir. Asr-ı Saâdet ve Hulefâ-yi Râşidîn döneminde ise kimsesiz çocuklara yönelik sosyal hizmetler açısından koruma ve bakım modelleri geliştirilmiştir. Bu hususta var olan yanlış algıların kalkması sağlanmıştır. Yetimlerin fiziksel ve ruhsal gelişimlerini sağlıklı bir şekilde tamamlamalarını sağlamak amacıyla İslam dininin ona sunmuş olduğu statü ve hakların neler olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çerçevede İslam’ın ilk dönem kaynakları taranarak konu ortaya konulmuş ve konunun önemine dair günümüz toplum hayatı ile ilgili olan evlat edinme, koruyucu aile modelleri ve sosyal hizmetler gibi yönler irdelenmiştir. Çalışma yapılırken nitel yöntemin metin analiz tekniği kullanılarak konu detaylandırılmıştır.
Analyzing the Role of Language and Religion in Culturally Competent Healthcare: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Authors: Razzaq Nasir , Farzeen Khan Eesha , Razzaq Salma
Published: December 2023

Cultural competence in healthcare refers to the ability of providers and organizations to effectively deliver healthcare services that meet the social, cultural, and linguistic needs of patients. The current interdisciplinary approach aims to elucidate the critical roles of language and religion in healthcare, focusing on their impact on communication, patient satisfaction, health literacy, and cultural competence in healthcare delivery. Through meticulous analysis of academic databases, health organization reports, and religious institution publications, this literature review consolidates findings from few peer-reviewed articles published in English. Findings reveal that effective healthcare communication is significantly hampered by language barriers, leading to risks of misdiagnoses, improper treatments, and diminished patient satisfaction. The review highlights the indispensable roles of language and religious competence in healthcare, advocating for their integration into healthcare practice, education, and policy to enhance the quality and cultural competence of healthcare delivery for diverse patient populations. Future research should continue to explore and expand on these findings, contributing to the development of practical strategies and theoretical frameworks supporting culturally competent healthcare.
The electronic government implementation model in the Republic of Korea based on the theory of planned behavior TPB
Authors: Fayed AmanAllah
Published: December 2023

This paper explains that the theory of planned behavior is a theoretical framework that explains the factors that affect the intention of the person which will affect his behavior. These factors are the attitude toward the behavior, the subjective norm, and the perceived behavioral control. Ajzen depended on Bandura’s self-efficacy theory which changed it to the perceived behavioral control. That tells more about the capability of the individual from the available resources and the possibilities of him to be able to proceed with a behavior. The research objective deals with the fact that Ajzen (1991) criticizes the technology acceptance model TAM theory applied in social science, he said that it does not provide the extendibility element in the research that needs to explain more about the usefulness elements. Therefore, other researchers advocated for the implantation of the TPB theory of planned behavior to be able to apply the extendibility element in the research of the electronic government field. In the domain of explaining human behavior the theory of planning behavior indicates a good direction in this field of explaining and understanding human behavior. Recently, technology has become a main factor in social science, here to discuss the government to citizens providing services G2C electronic government initiatives. Most of the research depends on the technology acceptance model TAM, and UTAT theories to explain the effect of the technology in the electronic government implementation. Most of the research about the Republic of Korea’ electronic government implements the technology acceptance model TAM theory and other theories. The results indicate that most foreigners are very familiar with the internet in their home countries more than they are with the electronic government in their home countries. Therefore, the Republic of Korean’ lifestyle made foreigners more familiar with the electronic government portal. The last general question is about whether to use the electronic government portal in Republic of Korea or not according to the yes or no answers are 78%, 22%.

Authors: OZTURK OZGU , Günay Kamil
Published: December 2023

This research aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of integrating Philosophy for Children (P4C) strategies with English language teaching for EFL learners. While existing studies have extensively outlined the educational benefits of P4C across various educational contexts, limited research focuses on its application in ESL or EFL settings. Therefore, this study investigates the positive effects of integrating P4C into EFL classrooms, specifically in conjunction with integrated language skills activities. A total of 12 students, evenly divided between Istanbul and Muğla, participated in the study. The P4C group engaged in language skills activities integrated with P4C in their classrooms for four weeks, and the impact of these lessons was assessed using questionnaires. The study’s results demonstrate that P4C interventions significantly reduced students’ levels of English speaking anxiety, enhanced their motivation to learn English post-intervention, and improved both their receptive and productive language skills. These findings underscore the potential of P4C integration in EFL instruction, offering promising implications for language pedagogy and learner outcomes.

Published: December 2023

The nature of science learning is to teach students to be involved in the investigation. Investigations in science can help improve the performance and skills of students. The purpose of this study is to plan to design instructional strategies after crafting the Sustainability Action Plan in the school context. Specifically, it attempts to answer the following research objectives: (1) To determine the pretest and post-test scores of the experimental group after their exposure to the ADDIE model in teaching natural science, and (2) To determine the significant improvement in the students’ scores before and after exposure of the ADDIE model. Using a quasi-experimental design with non-probability sampling, the two experimental groups (n=30) per section taking up General Chemistry 2, and General Physics 2. The results revealed that the respondents obtained closer mean values of the pretest (M=10.80, M=9.03) but the mean value of the post-test for General Chemistry is greater than General Physics (M=23.00, M=12.27). Likewise, there is no significant difference in improvement between the means of General Physics (t =1.8959; p=0.0630) compared to General Chemistry which is significant (t = 13.6640; p=0.0001) when tested at α 0.05. The data suggest that students need a strong focus on the competencies taken from the modules on whatever modalities of learning are utilized. A parallel study is recommended to enhance the students’ problem-solving skills at the junior high school level to establish the effectiveness of ADDIE Model.

Authors: Okwilagwe Eugenia A. , Jinadu Afeez T.
Published: December 2023

This study examined the predictive power of knowledge, perception, utilisation, and attitude toward social media-based learning on students’ academic achievement in geography. Adopting a correlational research type and population proportion to size sampling technique, 975 respondents were selected from thirty-nine schools. Assessment of Social Media Knowledge (KR20 = 0.73), Geography Achievement Test (KR20 = 0.82), Social Media Perception (α =0.86), Perceived Social Media Utilisation (α = 0.72), and Social Media Attitude Scales (α = 0.83) were used to collect and analysed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression. Fifty percent (50%) of the respondents use social media-based learning for academic purposes. Positive linear relationship exists between the predictor variables and the criterion variable. The four predictors accounted for 9.9% of the student’s achievement in Geography. Knowledge of social media β = .266; t (617) = 6.936) was most influential, followed by attitude (β = .157; t (617) = 3.031) in predicting students’ achievement in Geography, while perception and utilisation were not statistically significant at 0.05 significant level. Conclusively, students are encouraged to use social media for academic purposes in order to excel in geography and, perhaps, in other subjects.

The field experiment conducted at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, during the crop years 1995 96 and 1996 97 indicated that rice (Oryza sativa L.) berseem (Trifolium alexandinum L.) cropping system removed the rnaximum, quantity f NPK (1,140 kglha), followed b y rice potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) greengram (Phaseolus radiatus L.) (1,060 kglha) and riceIndian mustard [ rasiica juncea (L.) Czerng. osson] greengram (1,029 kglha) cropping syskm. Heavy depletion of NPK by rice berseem cropping system . resulted in nega ive ba ance of nitrogen (144 kglhaj, phosphorus (23 kglha) and potassium (41.6 kglha). Rice Indian mustard greengramcropping system alsa tesulted in negative balance of 131 kglha of N and 330 kglha of K. Nitrogen and phosphorus balance was found positive in rice wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fidri Paol.) greengram and rice potato greengram cropping systems,. whereaspotassium ba ance was negative in these cropping systems. These results, thus, show that potassium was found to be most removable nutrient by .the crops, which results in. mining of sqjl K and thus calls for adequate feytilization. . .

A field experiment was conducted at Crop Research Centre of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, during 1996 97 and 1997 98, to identify the appropriate rice (Oryza sativa L.) based cropping sequences for sustainable productivity and profitability under foothills of Himalayas. Rice as base crop was sequenced in 10 feasible crop sequences, viz. wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) rice, chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) rice, lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) rice, field pea (Pisum sativum . .) rice, wheat mungbean (Phaseolus radiatus L.) green manure rice, wheat sesbania (Sesbania aculeata Pers.) green manure rice, wheat maize (Zea mays L.) cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] foddet rice (Oryza sativa L.), chickpea maize cowpea fodder rice, lentil maize cowpea fodder rice and field pea maize cowpea fodder rice sequence. The green manuring of sesbania and mungbean in rice wheat system gave an additional rice equivalent yield 1.11 and 0.9 tonneslha over wheat rice, respectively, and showed maximum land use efficiency (90.95%). Further chickpea rice sequence (10.88 tonneslha) showed its superiority to all other sequences having 2 crops. Among 300% cropping intensity, sequence chickpea maize cowpea fodder rice (13.90 tonneslha) proved most efficient in term of rice equivalent yield, production efficiency (38.09 kglha) and mean economic returns (Rs 43,992/ha), while sequence wheat maize. cowpea fodder rice was highest carbohydrate (9.68 tonneslha) and chemical energy (50.51 K cal x 10 Yha) producer among all sequences.

A field experiment was conducted during 1997 98 and 1998 99 on sandy loam soil at the National Research Centre on Rapeseed Mustard, Bharatpur (Rajasthan), to study the production potential, and economics of 5 important lndian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj. Cosson] based cropping systems under rainfed conditions. Among all the cropping systems, pearlmillet [Pennisetium glaucum (L.) R. Br. emend. Stuntz) clusterbean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taubert] grown for fodder followed by lndian mustard gave the highest productivity per unit area per unit time. This system gave 41 1.6 qlha fodder yield of pearlmilletd clusterbean, followed by 10.15 qlha. Though lndian mustard yield was higher after clusterbean, lndian mustard equivalent yield (1 5.80 qlha) was the highest in pearlmillet clusterbean Indian mustard cropping system. The highest net return was also received from this system (Rs 11,9891 ha), followed by clusterbean Indian mustard cropping system (Rs 10,687lha). Fallow Indian mustard cropping system mostly followed by the farmers of Rajasthan gave the lowest lndian mustard equivalent yield (1 0.1 5 qlha) and net return (Rs 6,000lha).
