Educators in Qur’an (Education Spirituality Analysis in Surah Al-Kahfi Verses 60-82)

To achieve educational goals in accordance with Islamic religious law, it is necessary to have a strong foundation, namely the Qur'an as a guide for Muslims. In the Qur'an, there are many commands of Allah SWT that are intended for His people to be carried out and prohibitions to be abandoned. Al-Qur'an Surah Al-Kahfi verses 60-82 describe the struggle of Prophet Musa to study with Prophet Khidir, it can be imitated by educators today in carrying out their profession as an educator. The method used in this writing is library research. The stages that the author did in this research were collecting research materials, reading library materials, making research notes, and processing the research notes. The importance of good interaction between educators and their students in order to achieve the desired educational goals, an educator is expected to have good character in accordance with the Uswah Hasanah owned by the Prophet Muhammad in order to achieve the desired goals. Good manners are expected to always be embedded in students when studying, an educator is expected to use the right method in educating, in order to create a good and efficient interaction process between the two.

Revealing Power Relations in Online Learning: A Critical Classroom Discourse Analysis

The Government of Indonesia has made policy by implementing learning with online system through several online platforms since the pandemic covid_19 in 2020. The lecturers and the students of English Department of STKIP PGRI Jombang as unseperated parts of the higher education in Indonesia must realize this policy. Of the reasons, this research will employ qualitative reserach by adopting the theory of politeness and supported by the theory of critical classroom discourse analysis (CCDA), thus, it is aimed at investigating how power relation between the lecturer and the students of English Department of STKIP PGRI Jombang can maintain their good social relations. This research will be conducted to analyze the politeness strategy used by lecturer and students on online learning process. This research will explore what politeness strategy the lecturer apply to the students, what word choice the lecturer use in applying the politeness strategy toward the students and why the lecturer apply the politeness strategy to the students on online learning. The research, furthermore, will relate relate the examination of politeness and critical classroom discourse analysis to get true data analysis of the research. The findings showed that a lecturer maintains good manners to his students so that even though the position of a lecturer is higher, it is different from his students, which has a different role as a consequence. There were three stages of uncovering their power relations. The first stage, this research employed the lecturer’s dominant role to determine the construction of power to his students. It could be described in the analysis of the conversation related to the greetings in the initial of each meeting in online learning and the preparation of group discussion. The second stage, the researcher explored the solidarity expressed the lecturer to his students by employing his personal experiences and his expression of his sorry to hear when there was a student’s father was sick. Those two stages played important roles of exposing their relationship both equal and unequal. The lecturer exercised his power indicated that their social relations are unequal. On the contrary, the solidarity exposed by the lecturer to his students indicated that their social relations are equal.

Early Educators’ Perceptions of Behavior

We explored how teachers perceived challenging behavior in contrast to behaviors that exemplify social-emotional competence, and how descriptions of behavior varied based on child demographics such as gender, race/ethnicity, and disability status. Using a DisCrit lens, we conducted this study under the assumption that perceptions of behavior may be informed by teachers’ implicit biases. Fourteen preschool teachers shared their perspectives on behaviors they saw in the classroom, as exemplified by descriptions of the two children they considered the most socially-emotionally successful, A/Z, and the two they considered the most challenging, C/E. Children in the A/Z group were 54% female, 46% male, 54% White, 29% Black, and 82% did not receive special education services or need screening. Children in the C/E group were 86% male, 14% female, 46% Black, 36% White, and 75% were either receiving special education services or identified by teachers as needing a referral for screening. Positive A/Z behaviors included being a model, leader, or helper; having good play skills, manners, and verbal skills; and loving to learn. The challenging behaviors for C/E students included being hard to connect with; engaging in physical aggression and defiance; and having communication difficulties and poor self-regulation skills. These findings help us understand the role of implicit bias, systems issues, and the importance of culturally responsive practices in early childhood settings.

E Derek Taylor, Melvyn New, and Elizabeth Kraft (eds). The History of Sir Charles Grandison

Richardson’s prolixity is legendary. The sheer physical heft of his collected work posed a challenge: when confronted with ‘19 Volumes in Twelves, close Printed—In Three Stories—Monstrous!—Who that sees them ranged on one Shelf, will forgive me?’ (xxxix), he fretted. While modern readers often plead ‘TLDR’, being unwilling to excuse the extended psychological vacillations and moral qualms of his heroines, contemporary admirers begged the author for yet more of his fictions. Richardson’s final novel, The History of Sir Charles Grandison (1753–54), was partly the product of readers’ requests for a good man to complement his virtuous heroines. Yet, despite being Jane Austen’s favourite novel, Grandison has remained out of favour with readers and critics alike. This is partly due to the lack of a good critical edition. Unlike Clarissa and Pamela, which have both benefitted from affordable and readily available paperback editions, Grandison was last available in Jocelyn Harris’s 1986 edition. Though not quite a classroom text, her Oxford University Press edition granted Grandison a small but growing demographic of academic readers committed, possibly perverse, and compelled by Richardson’s story of the divided love of a painfully perfect hero, told in letters by a roster of women correspondents significantly livelier than Sir Charles himself.

Adab Siswa Mengikuti Program Tahfidzul Qur’an Di MTsN 5 Agam

The background of this research is that some students who memorize the Qur'an are people who have good manners, because adab can affect the character and attitude of students whose learning of the Koran already reflects people who are very meaningful with regard to aspects of behavior. a person both personally and in relation to his social aspects.

Students always reflect someone who has good manners. It can also be seen that students always make their intentions sincere only because of Allah SWT., and also have an attitude that reflects someone who memorizes the Qur'an who is always polite, polite and respectful to his teacher.

"Our Grand Inquisitor is a very good Man": to the Scientific Biography of Naum Abramovich Bortnik (1911-1977)

The article is devoted to the scientific biography of the Soviet medievalist, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Nahum Abramovich Bortnik (1911-1977). The author pays special attention to the period of the Great Patriotic War. Letters addressed to N. A. Bortnik are introduced into scientific circulation. The letter of the writer Isaac Sadykov, who worked a lot in Sverdlovsk during the Great Patriotic War, sheds light on the literary life of the city. Special attention is paid to the discussions, sometimes acute, emotional, devoid of academic chic, which flared up between M. Ja. Sjuzjumov and N. A. Bortnik. The article publishes the minutes of the meeting of the Department of General History of the Ural State University. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to reconstruct the scientific biographies of Soviet historians. This work is important for the preservation of the scientific heritage of our country. The publication of sources, in this case, is the only antidote against the tenets of "cathedral historiography" and empty references "separated by commas" in the notes for the next anniversary date. The article is a continuation of the study of the biographies of historians who were part of M. Ja. Sjuzjumov's "inner circle" and represents an independent scientific problem. The complete opposite of M. Ja. Sjuzjumov was undoubtedly N. A. Bortnik (1911-1977). They were separated by many things. Thus, M. Ja. Sjuzjumov belonged to the last generation of pre-revolutionary historians. Naum Abramovich Bortnik was a representative of the first generation of Soviet scientists. Professor Sjuzjumov has been developing the theory of dialectical continuity all his life; Professor Bortnik followed the "romantic school", highly appreciating the role of the masses of the people. M. Ja. Sjuzjumov saw echoes of political struggle in heretical movements; N. A. Bortnik insisted on the most important role of the leaders of the masses.

The Good or the Wild at Aristotle Eudemian Ethics 8.3?

The traditional understanding of Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics 8.3 requires emending the text at least two places, the more important of which changes the manuscripts’ characterization of the Spartans as “wild men” (ἄγριοι) to “good men” (ἀγαθοί). Neither emendation has any manuscript support and if they are rejected, we avoid some apparent philosophical problems. This article examines a new proposal to reject both emendations and argues that, despite the attractions of rejecting them, this chapter’s rhetorical and logical structure shows that they should be accepted. It also suggests a way to defuse the problems to which the emendations apparently give rise.

Interpersonal Relationships and Good Manners Practices of Students in School

The study aimed to determine the level of and establish a significant relationship between students interpersonal relationships and good manners practices in school. The study was conducted at Rosario National High School (RNHS) and Balagnan Integrated School (BIS) in Balingasag Central District, Division of Misamis Oriental, during the school year 2022-2023 with two-hundred twenty-one respondents (221). The study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design and used a questionnaire as the main instrument to gather relevant information. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to determine the level of interpersonal relationships and good manners practices among students in school. Pearson r correlation was employed to establish the significant relationship between interpersonal relationships and good manners practices among students in school. Results revealed that students at RNHS and BIS have very high level of interpersonal relationships, a very high level of good manners practices as to respect, politeness, and civility, and a high level of good manners practices as to graciousness. They also have significant relationships between interpersonal relationships and good manners practices in school. It is recommended that parents and teachers collaborate with one another to constantly communicate and interact with students because they are the models of these values. It is suggested that parents always remind their children of the importance of these values to their character formation.

Diachronic Synodality: Synodality Within Tradition

Diachronic Synodality: Synodality Within Tradition Gregory F. LaNave THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF a “synod on synodality” and the subsequent efforts of dioceses to engage great numbers of the faithful in the preparations give the topic an air of extreme moment. In the West, at least, there has been a temptation to equate synodality with a move toward democratization in the Church—a prospect regarded variously with enthusiasm or dismay. Whether this association is fair or not, it brings to mind a comment G. K. Chesterton made about democracy and tradition: “Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father.”1 Chesterton’s maxim is a fitting thematic statement for this article. Synodality is, arguably, very much of a piece with Tradition within the Christian life. But at the same time, it stands in tension with Tradition—and the primacy of Tradition in its fullest sense must be acknowledged. I. Definitions Aside from the existing documents for the synod on synodality, the most important documents for establishing the meaning and parameters of synodality are (1) Pope Francis’s address commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Synod of Bishops (Oct. 17, 2015); (2) the apostolic constitution [End Page 173] Episcopalis Communio (2018); and (3) the International Theological Commission’s “Synodality in the Life and Mission of the Church” (2018).2 While the term “synod” is of ancient origin in the Church— being roughly synonymous with “council”—the noun “synodality,” so ubiquitous now, is a neologism.3 The ITC sees it as springing from the emphasis in the Second Vatican Council on the common mission and destiny of the members of the Church.4 It is well known that the Second Extraordinary Synod of Bishops in 1985 spoke of “communion” as the key ecclesiological concept of the council.5 It follows, in the view of the ITC, that one can speak of the way in which the Church lives out the reality of this communion, and this is the meaning of synodality: “In this ecclesiological context, synodality is the specific modus vivendi et operandi of the Church, the People of God, which reveals and gives substance to her being as communion when all her members journey together, gather in assembly and take an active part in her evangelising mission.”6 “Synod” suggests a body gathered to walk a path together,7 and nods toward the good of having a permanent body in the Church dedicated to this “walking together,” such as the Synod of Bishops. “Synodality” emphasizes rather the way in which a gathering of believers would walk together. “Synod” is a thing; “synodality” is a quality. And it is the latter that is particularly emphasized in the current discussions. [End Page 174] For our purposes the above description will suffice as a definition of synodality. A brief description of Tradition is also required, for understanding the relationship of synodality and Tradition requires seeing Tradition in light of its formal distinction from Scripture and the magisterium.8 Christ handed on to the apostles the full revelation of the Gospel, which they passed on to the whole Church. This encompasses “what they themselves had received—whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit” (Dei Verbum, 7).9 Formally, tradition is the handing down of what was received; materially, Tradition is the content of what was received. The preeminent expression of this Tradition is Scripture, the truth of which is guaranteed by the grace of inspiration. The task of authentically—authoritatively—interpreting revelation is “entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone” (DV, 10), that is, the magisterium. But in addition to Scripture and the magisterium we distinguish a wide realm of Tradition, the manifold ways in which the revelation of the Gospel exists and is passed down in the Church. Any way [End Page 175] by which the Gospel is received and passed on can in principle be called part of Tradition. However, it is common to...

Najah Al-Qari Sharh Sahih Al-Bukhari (d. 256 AH) Youssef Effendi Zadeh (d.1167 AH) The Book of Literature is a Section on Good Manners, Generosity And Miserliness


 
 
 
 ABSTRACT
 
 If we look at this research we will notice that the characteristics of a human being by which he treats others,are commendable and reprehensible. For what is commendable on the whole: that you should be with others on yourself and do justice to them and do not do justice to yours. And what is reprehensible against it, and good manners of all kinds is divided into two parts:
 The first section: Instinct.
 The second section: acquired.
 That is why it is clear to us through this research that creation is a splendor in the type of a human being, who are among the characteristics of the prophets, and the cycle of virtues at which they are different.
 
 
 

Design and kinematics of a lightweight cruciform continuum robot

Abstract. The design of new lightweight and dexterous configurations is a major research focus for continuum robotics. This work proposes a cruciform continuum robot. Its unique feature is that it is formed by multiple cruciform-arranged elastic sheets with a single dimension of motion connected in series, and thus it has low-coupling motion characteristics. In addition, the cruciform continuum robot has the advantages of lighter weight (65 g), better dexterity, and higher motion accuracy. In this paper, the forward and inverse kinematics models of the cruciform continuum robot are established by geometric methods based on the assumption of constant curvature, and its workspace is analysed. It is experimentally verified that the tip position errors are less than 1 mm, and the cable length errors are less than 0.4 mm. Further, the cruciform continuum robot is successfully used for the nucleic acid detection simulation experiment, which confirms its good dexterity and man–machine safety. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a new configuration for the lightweight and dexterous continuum robots, and to further provide a reference method for improving their modelling accuracy from the perspective of structure.

Kamapim gutpela man: Papua New Guinean and Chinese refinery workers' changing understandings of becoming a good man

ABSTRACTThis article adds to research on emerging masculinities in the Pacific by analysing how Papua New Guinean and Chinese male employees' intercultural work experiences impact their perceptions of becoming a good man. The idea of a good man acts as a benchmark for assessing the adaptability of Papua New Guinean employees to new work environments and determining if Chinese colleagues are their desired partners. I illustrate this point by first considering ‘becoming’ as an alternate framework to the binary framework reflected in earlier research. I next describe how Papua New Guinean workers impress their Chinese supervisors through negotiations and concessions about industrial and subsistence farming time, as well as how working with Papua New Guinean workers alters Chinese employees' perceptions of work. Finally, I demonstrate how employment practices foster Papua New Guinean workers' evolving perspectives on becoming agutpela man(‘good man’) and Chinese employees' evolving perspectives on becoming a good person, a vital route to becoming achenggongman (‘successful man’). This article proposes characterizing emerging masculinities as hybrid identities that are context‐dependent, interculturally exchanged and temporal by presenting two parties' new thoughts on becoming a good man. This article demonstrates modulatory power dynamics in the Chinese refinery based on a two‐way narrative as opposed to portraying Chinese management as the dominating force.
