Generative artificial intelligence and academic writing: an analysis of the perceptions of researchers in training

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between academic writing and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Design/methodology/approach This paper is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach. Two approaches were used: the first, a narrative review of the literature with a systematic search from which a data collection stage was carried out using asynchronous interviews by means of an online questionnaire. Findings The results indicate that generative AI should be seen as a complementary tool for creative and critical academic writing. The data collected also highlighted issues related to academic dishonesty and the new type of plagiarism – plagiarism made possible by technologies – as well as issues of authorship and legitimacy of work carried out with AI and the loss of reflective and critical thinking and creativity. Research limitations/implications The considerable increase in resources using AI in all dimensions of human life. Practical implications The impact that the use of generative AIs can have on the creation of knowledge and the dissemination of scientific research. Social implications The impact that the use of generative AIs can have on the creation of knowledge and on the dissemination of scientific research. Originality/value The need for academia to anticipate the use of AI in academic writing and to incorporate its benefits into this process, especially considering researchers in training.

Anúncio de uma Sociedade em Crise sem Filosofia: Repensar a Educação Angolana a partir da “Sagrada Esperança”

The present text sheds light on reflection about a society in crisis "that is announced", being the capture of how we think in relation to Philosophy and the use that is made of reason, a necessary condition for this purpose. This way of thinking is reflected in all dimensions of human life, with particular mention of how education, politics, law, and justice are viewed as conditions for achieving a more dignified humanity. Hence, in this sense of philosophizing about our reality, we have proposed the challenge of (re) thinking our (Angolan) society from the perspective of "Sacred Hope" reflected in education. The reflection starts from the question: how to rethink, philosophically, our Angolan society from the "Sacred Hope," whose content is reflected in education? It is a question that fundamentally raises the discussion about the educational possibilities for realizing the individual in the Angolan context, characterized by levels of illiteracy and widespread poverty. This situation leads us to resort to the "Sacred Hope" which, in the circumstances in which it was born, as a thought-out ideal, represented the dream of achieving a different and dignified condition of life for the Angolan person, to, as a Philosophy, understood as a new perspective of life grounded in the light of reason, and question its reach in the present. Thus, if Philosophy is a questioning of any (social) reality, then it makes sense to admit that, without Philosophy, a society enters into existential crisis and, in this sense, it becomes imperative to rethink it from the perspective of education as sacred hope

The Integral Role of Magnesium in Muscle Integrity and Aging: A Comprehensive Review.

Aging is characterized by significant physiological changes, with the degree of decline varying significantly among individuals. The preservation of intrinsic capacity over the course of an individual's lifespan is fundamental for healthy aging. Locomotion, which entails the capacity for independent movement, is intricately connected with various dimensions of human life, including cognition, vitality, sensory perception, and psychological well-being. Notably, skeletal muscle functions as a pivotal nexus within this intricate framework. Any perturbation in its functionality can manifest as compromised physical performance and an elevated susceptibility to frailty. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a central role in approximately 800 biochemical reactions within the human body. Its distinctive physical and chemical attributes render it an indispensable stabilizing factor in the orchestration of diverse cellular reactions and organelle functions, thereby rendering it irreplaceable in processes directly impacting muscle health. This narrative review offers a comprehensive exploration of the pivotal role played by magnesium in maintaining skeletal muscle integrity, emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining optimal magnesium levels for promoting healthy aging.

Etika dan Strategi Komunikasi Dakwah Islam Berbasis Media Sosial di Indonesia

The development of social media in the digital era has a broad influence on many dimensions of human life, including Islamic da'wah activities. Today, many da'i da'wah efforts use various social media platforms as da'wah channels. This article aims to look at various ethical issues and Islamic and Da'wah communication strategies used by Islamic preachers based on social media channels. Qualitatively, the method of writing this article is in the nature of a literature study by collecting data from the Sinta Journal and Garuda Research and Technology Dikti databases. The scope and focus of the search for articles is specifically on the theme of ethics and communication strategies and social media-based da'wah with searches based on the Google Scholar search engine. Supporting data is from books and other relevant reference sources. The results of this study found that ethically, Indonesian da'wah communicators carry out da'wah communication through social media placing the al-Qur'an, al-Hadith, namely qoulan ma'rufan, qoulan kariman, qoulan maysuran, qoulan balighan, qoulan layyinan, and qoulan sadidan as foundation for the development of an attitude of openness, fairness, courtesy, honesty, responsibility, constructiveness and hope for the ridho of Allah. Strategically, da'wah communicators maximize the space of social media platforms as a means of da'wah by filling in creative Islamic content by considering aspects of new insights and knowledge, touching emotions, language that is easy to understand, using visual and graphic technology and is attractive.

Characterization and outlook of climatic hazards in an agricultural area of Pakistan

Many dimensions of human life and the environment are vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change and the hazards associated with it. There are several indices and metrics to quantify climate hazards that can inform preparedness and planning at different levels e.g., global, regional, national, and local. This study uses biased corrected climate projections of temperature and precipitation to compute characteristics of potential climate hazards that are pronounced in the Gomal Zam Dam Command Area (GZDCA)— an irrigated agricultural area in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The results answer the question of what the future holds in the GZDCA regarding climate hazards of heatwaves, heavy precipitation, and agricultural drought. The results of heatwaves and agricultural drought present an alarming future and call for immediate actions for preparedness and adaptation. The magnitude of drought indices for the future is correlated with the crop yield response based on AquaCrop model simulations with observed climate data being used as input. This correlation provides insight into the suitability of various drought indices for agricultural drought characterization. The results elaborate on how the yield of wheat crop grown in a typical setting common in the South Asian region respond to the magnitude of drought indices. The findings of this study inform the planning process for changing climate and expected climate hazards in the GZDCA. Analyzing climate hazards for the future at the local level (administrative districts or contiguous agricultural areas) might be a more efficient approach for climate resilience due to its specificity and enhanced focus on the context.

Tafsir of Qur'anic Verses on Consumption

The Qur'an is a source of excavation and development of Islamic teachings in various dimensions of human life. This paper tries to develop economic studies from an economic point of view based on the interpretation of the Qur'an. As a methodology, tafsir plays an important role in order to develop the discipline of Islamic economics. The model of economic interpretation derived from the thematic interpretation of the Qur'an is developed through four phases including; Classification of Qur'anic verses related to economics, understanding them based on chronology, micro and macro context, and socioeconomic contextualization. In summary, this paper reveals that consumption behavior in the Qur'an is harmoniously regulated, gradual and systematically to propose a new model of consumption for Muslims through Islamic consumption behavior.

Implementasi Ajaran Paravidya dan Aparavidya Dalam Memerangi Hoax Sebagai Upaya Membangun Sumber Daya Manusia Hindu Unggul

Social media basically has a big influence on the dimensions of human life, because humans in their various activities cannot be separated from the existence of social media. Social media will have a good impact, if people understand and use it wisely, but it will have a bad impact if they don't use it wisely. This research principally aims to understand how Hindu teachings are to be wise and critical in managing information on social media, bearing in mind that there are two types of knowledge in Hinduism namely Paravidya and Aparavidya. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a critical discourse analysis approach. The results of this study indicate that Paravidya and Aparavidya knowledge is the main basis that must be understood by Hindus in relation to managing information on social media. By having these two knowledges, humans can have a balance between worldly and spiritual life. In addition, the teachings of Paravidya and Aparavidya are used as a basis for analyzing further information in the process of pratyaksa pramana (namely by direct observation using the five senses), anumana pramana understands the phenomena that occur by examining them through the causal process, then upamana pramana namely through doing the process of comparison or comparison, and pramana's words, namely through instructions from people who have authority about this information. By understanding this, Hindus will be wise in controlling the information they obtain on social media.

Fertiliser cost prediction in European Union farms: Machine-learning approaches through artificial neural networks

Abstract Machine-learning methodologies are part of the artificial intelligence approaches with several applications in different fields of science and dimensions of human life. These techniques appear in the frameworks of the digital transition, where smart technologies bring relevant contributions, such as improving the efficiency of the economic sectors. This is particularly important for sectors such as agriculture to deal with the challenges created in the context of climate changes. On the other hand, machine-learning approaches are not easy to implement, considering the complexity of the algorithms associated. Taking this into account, the main objective of this research is to present a model to predict fertiliser costs in the European Union (EU) farms through artificial neural network analysis. This assessment may provide relevant information for farmers and policymakers in the current scenario where the concerns are to identify strategies to mitigate the environmental impacts, including those from the agricultural sector and the respective use of chemical resources. To achieve these objectives, statistical information for the EU agricultural regions from the Farm Accountancy Data Network was considered for the period 2018–2020. The findings obtained show relative errors between 0.040 and 0.074 (showing good accuracy) and the importance of the total utilised agricultural area and the total output to predict the fertiliser costs.

Artificial Intelligence Pengetahuan Agama Dan Lingkungan Siswa Sadar Mengelola Sampah

Religion plays an important role in human life. Religion has a very dominant role in the formation of human personality because religion is the main source of foundation in the dimension of human life in shaping human personality, through disclosing spiritual values, creed values, worship practices, so as to give birth to individuals who are obedient and diligent in carrying out religious values. Obedience and adherence to religious values ​​not only shape individual personality, but are manifested from these personality values ​​can organize their lifestyle so that they can live life in a calm, orderly and neat manner. In this study, it is seen how the role of students' knowledge of religion and the environment has on the level of awareness of these students in managing waste, especially in the school environment. Using a total sample of 100 students, questionnaires are administered and the results obtained are processed with artificial intelligence using the rough set method. The results obtained were 8 new rules which were set as a reference in the future to change the behavior of students who are aware of better waste management.

How Kabir Das expounds evil! A study in light of Kabir’s mystical poetry

The most briskly discussed, however, without clear and satisfactory philosophical and religious justification is the concept of evil. In binary oppositional sense it has been associated with human life since the day of creation which in more pristine sense is the product of first sin of Adam and Eve, as is believed in some theological traditions. High wits broach over it as having circumference in all dimensions of human life and that it is the opposite of what is thought as virtue and ethics also. It, since thought and explored variedly, gives birth to a good number of complex and for the intellectual coterie, even baffling questions on its nature, origin, its essence, etc. Undoubtedly, many answers to the questions like how evil entered the universe, why God created it or let it exist, if evil had been there prior to the world, would it not then be a problem in the notion of God’s ontological goodness, if God did create it, does it not simply mean that God is malicious, if not God but Devil bred it, is it not then a negative mark on God’s Almightiness and Omnipotence, if God created it and let it be in the world, is it not metaphysical foolishness to acknowledge God ordaining to aloof from it. This paper shall be framed on the concept of evil from moral aspect according to Kabir Das in light of The Bijak of Kabir by Linda Hess and Sukhdev Singh, The Songs of Kabir by Rabindranath Tagore, The Songs of Kabir by Arvind Krishna Mehrotra and prefaced by Windy Doniger. The effort shall be made to come up with the thought that how evil is the outcome of Maya or delusion or sheer ignorance and how it bears no proportion in Divine transcendence in the mystical theodicy of Kabir Das. For that endeavour other relevant and suggestive along with secondary sources shall be consulted with to substantiate the theme with judicious corroboration. The sources for the elaboration shall be philosophical, religious and ethical. Moreover, some references shall be, if necessary, taken from texts from cultural studies since the theme culturally and anthropologically has an indomitable significance.

Recommendations for bureaucracy services in the new normal time

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia has changed various dimensions of human life, including government bureaucratic services whose main task is to provide public services. This type of research uses a literature study whose data sources come from secondary data sources such as books, articles and journals. The results of the analysis show that bureaucratic management in the New Normal period faces 2 (two) challenges that must be solved, namely: The internal dimension of how to ensure that the apparatus can carry out their obligations in accordance with their respective duties and functions supported by clear outputs. The external dimension is how the bureaucracy is able to provide public services to the community with limited conditions that require the provision of public services to be based on health protocols. This condition is an opportunity for the bureaucracy to be able to formulate Work Form Anywhere (WFA) policies to carry out the given work based on optimal output.

Politicians and Artificial Intelligence Refusal: Brief Considerations

Technological development of the last decades changed not only working procedures but also economic hierarchies and – in many cases – it offered an instrument for ambitious leaders to bring a new perspective to countries, continents, or even the world in different areas: economy, law, politics, etc.
 Inside these new dimensions of human life, politicians are asked to create rules for societies, but also their specific tasks. At the same time, politicians are asked to think about the future and to settle the main directions for national development, in such a way to profit for today and the next generations. For such development plans, politicians need to consult many data and create a specific legal framework, able to increase people's skills in every area, in a coherent vision that includes Artificial Intelligence.
 Artificial Intelligence might have a special field of action in political competition, which must be regulated by the same actors able to use it. Such a specific legal possibility – to be able to regulate one of your tools – offers to politicians many interrogations about the limits of Artificial Intelligence use. Politics is a matter of power and history shows that many times politicians use many tools and administrative procedures to preserve or achieve power. Artificial Intelligence could be used for the same purposes and both scholars and citizens will be important to study how politicians will regulate it. In this case, an important topic is the Artificial Intelligence acceptance in political completions and if politicians will try to regulate its use with a specific interdiction on the political area. It will be also important to see if such interdictions will consider the danger for democratic institutions or other reasons like psychological dangers to the human mind, costs of implementation, etc.

The Healing Power of the Body of Christ: An Ecclesial and Neurological Argument for Social Connection Despite Social Distancing

The modern crisis of social isolation is a devastating and lethal phenomenon encompassing many dimensions of human life: the sociological, psychological, neuro-psychological, and spiritual. Loneliness and disengagement leave existential longings within the hearts and minds of persons, causing depression, anxiety, and the fragmentation of community. Yves Congar’s ecclesiological and pneumatological theology explicates the fulfillment of humanity’s deepest longings when individuals gather as a communal body realized in the ideal form of the Church, a supra-ecclesial community. When people share their unique charisms gained through the grace of the Holy Spirit for the good of the community, a healing grace permeates into individual hearts and restores communal relationships. The article has three sections. The first section describes the detrimental consequences of isolation and the spiritual perils of social distancing and human separation. The second develops Congar’s theological insights into how community allows for participation in the life of the Trinitarian God. The third section applies Congar’s theological principles to practical pastoral healing remedies for the tendencies of division within the present age, especially dealing with the global pandemic. When each person becomes receptive to the action of the Holy Spirit, who unifies the Body of Christ, the fullness of life emerges.

Educare alla purezza: modelli pedagogici e politica cinematografica nel cattolicesimo italiano

Between the late nineteenth century and the World War I, several factors pushed secular and Catholic educational agencies to theorize pedagogical lines specifically aimed at governing individual sexuality. In the Catholic sphere, the pedagogical proposal hinged on an almost complete, even terminological, removal of sex and sexuality: that dimension of human life was veiled and compressed within a bipolar linguistic horizon: at one extreme “purity”, at the other “instincts”, “passions” and “senses”. The construction phase of this pedagogical model – which in its various transformations was central at least until the 1960s – coincided in practice with the first diffusion of cinema, going on to profoundly influence the Catholic approach to the new medium: in the atlas of Catholic pedagogy, cinema was immediately catalogued among the most resolute opponents of the “angelic virtue” of “purity”. This contribution intends to propose a long-term analysis aimed at highlighting the evolution of the relationship between this pedagogical model and film policy in Catholicism, identifying the links between this relationship and the progressive sexualization of Italian cinema.

PANDEMI, NEW NORMAL, DAN LIMINALITAS KEHIDUPAN BERAGAMA DI JAWA TIMUR

The Covid-19 pandemic affects almost all dimensions of human life, including religious life. As an entity also affected by the pandemic, religious life manifests as part of the social problems and dilemmas in the pandemic era. This article tries to explain the liminal movement of religious life in East Java. The aim is to find some urgent dimensions regarding the practice of religious life in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic. The qualitative approach was chosen as a technique to find several essential aspects in the liminal process. By conducting interviews and being supported by online data categorized thematically, this technique can reinforce views and patterns of religious experience. Interviews were conducted with academics, mosque managers, religious leaders, mosque congregations, and community leaders. The research findings are that as a form of experience in the pandemic era, liminality can transmit ritual practices and cultural codes into new ways of doing and adapting religious life into new everyday habits. Amid an increasingly blurred rationality and demands for survival that continue to whack, people take various ways to resist epidemics and disasters and seek protection with various patterns, including religion.

The Tribute of Faith: Theistic Commitment as Moral Gesture

Abstract In this paper I explore and defend the idea that those who struggle intellectually in theistic religious practice can be given a good reason to persist in it by treating their continuing practice as a way of paying tribute to people and projects and personal relationships and indeed to the whole moral dimension of human life, expressing how important and profoundly significant these things are to them. This ‘tribute of faith’ is a gesture that one makes with one’s life—a moral gesture. The key thought is that the sayings and other doings of a religious life allow one to treat the world as one in which the things, such as projects and people, that are, for one, most deeply imbued with moral value will achieve fulfilment—a fulfillment that without the truth of religious claims they would often be denied.

Rising Fundamentalism: The Challenging Time for Secularism

Fundamentalism is the belief in ancient and traditional forms of worship, as well as the belief that whatever is written in a holy book is correct. It was especially noticeable in the twentieth century, which sought to recover and publicly institutionalise aspects of the past that had been obscured by modern life. Fundamentalism has seen a meteoric rise in the twenty-first century, with fanaticism and international terrorism on the rise as well. Fundamentalists consider secular states to be their primary adversary because their goals do not always coincide with one another. All of these goals, according to the fundamentalists, are obstacles to t their ultimate goal of preserving the spiritual dimension of human life. Fundamentalism is an ideology that has not only taken hold in poor and underdeveloped countries, but has also taken hold in developed, liberal, and democratic countries. The primary goal of this research is to demonstrate that fundamentalism is on the rise at a time when secularism is under threat.
