Jesus The Teacher

After reading the book, the writer found that Jesus knew His identity as Teacher and God. Therefore, the purpose of His coming into this world is to teach the truth to humans both through what is delivered and the example of His life. Therefore, a teacher must really realize, accept and be proud of his duties as a teacher so that he can carry out his duties to the fullest and be able to be an example for other students and society. Through reading this book, by learning from the Lord Jesus, there are many principles that a teacher must have and work on in teaching, namely knowing his students correctly with all the developments and struggles they face. In addition, a teacher must have clear goals, so that the learning process does not take place and act just like that without producing anything in students. In teaching a teacher, one must use the Bible as the main source in teaching even though one must be open to other knowledge to add insight to the teacher and students. A teacher must improve the quality of himself in teaching, by preparing both materially and choosing the right methods and strategies to use that are in accordance with the ability of students to accept them.
 In teaching a teacher must have a long-term vision in students. So that this helps the teacher to be patient and continue to give the best even though the students still have various weaknesses and deficiencies in themselves. Teachers must be able to see the positive side in students and develop it so that it becomes an impactful ability for the students themselves and the wider community in the future. Through reading this book, a teacher is required to learn from the person of the Lord Jesus and have a good personal relationship so that the wisdom and anointing from the Lord Jesus equips the teacher in carrying out his duties.

Using Industrial Waste Heat in District Heating: Insights on Effective Project Initiation and Business Models

The recovery of industrial waste heat and its reuse in district heating networks can be economical for both the industry and the district heating operator. While the potential for external use of industrial waste heat remains significant, there are already many implemented practical examples. This paper describes an Austria-wide survey of industrial companies that supply waste heat to district heating networks in order to assess the (i) initiation and implementation, (ii) business model design, and (iii) risks and uncertainties associated with external waste heat cooperation. Based on the survey results, good personal relationships are essential, and local politicians can be crucial for initiation. Major changes in the industrial supplier or district heating company are triggers for contact and implementation. For negotiations to be successful, the partners must feel they are being treated fairly, which requires a high degree of transparency. The most commonly used business model is the use of clear interfaces, i.e., a point that separates investment, billing, and responsibility. Billing is usually per kWh, possibly supplemented by other contractual arrangements such as take-or-pay. The lower the industry’s share of the joint investment, the less it receives for the waste heat. Conversely, the more guarantees and risks the industry takes on, the higher the price per kWh.

The implication is that efforts to optimize teacher performance can be carried out by school principals through exemplary, motivational, democratic policies, providing rewards, making good personal relationships and approaches, and creating a sense of security and comfort at work.

Academic achievement is more closely associated with student-peer relationships than with student-parent relationships or student-teacher relationships.

Personal relationships have long been a concern in education. Most studies indicate that good personal relationships are generally positively correlated with academic performance. However, few studies have compared how different types of personal relationships correlate with academic performance, and the conclusions of existing studies are inconsistent. Based on a large sample, the current study compared how the three closest types of personal relationships among students (with parents, teachers, and their peers) compared with their academic performance. Cluster sampling was used to issue questionnaires to students in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, China in 2018 (Study 1) and in 2019 (Study 2). The actual sample size included 28168 students in Study 1 and 29869 students in Study 2 (both studies, Grades 4 and 8), thus totaling 58037 students. All students completed a personal relationship questionnaire and several academic tests. The results showed that: (1) the quality of personal relationships significantly and positively correlated with academic performance; (2) Among the three types of relationships tested, the quality of student-peer relationships was the most closely associated with academic achievement. This study gives insights into future research directions in this field and also reminds educators to pay attention to the personal relationships among their students, especially peer relationships.

Investigating the most essential skills of planners in Ethiopia’s Amhara National Regional State’s Regiopolitan cities

This study intends to answer the specific skills and skills Ethiopian planners, particularly Amhara National Regional State's Regiopolitan cities planners, require the most in their urban planning profession. In today's urban world, understanding city dynamics, forecasting and predicting vibrant cities, making urban planning decisions and putting them into practice, collaborating with stakeholders from various governments and educational backgrounds, persuading people to accept urban plans, and building good personal and skilled relationships have all become highly complex and challenging. As a result, to succeed in their jobs in Ethiopia, planners must possess particular skills. This study looks into the essential skills that planners require in today's dynamic and complex urban environment. The investigation was conducted in Ethiopia as part of a more extensive regional study of Regiopolitan cities. A structured questionnaire survey of 104 experienced planners was undertaken, and semi-structured in-depth interviews with 9 key informants to investigate the essential planners' skills in the Ethiopian planning system to find the essential skills needed in practice. The findings demonstrate that an urban planning method in Regiopolitan cites of Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia urban planning system is such practical planners who wish to carve out a position for them must equip themselves with analytical and synthesis skills.

Facilitators and barriers of intersectoral co-operation to promote healthier and more environmentally friendly behaviour: a qualitative evaluation through focus groups for the INHERIT project

BackgroundTackling challenges related to health, environmental sustainability and equity requires many sectors to work together. This “intersectoral co-operation” can pose a challenge on its own. Research commonly focuses on one field or is conducted within one region or country. The aim of this study was to investigate facilitators and barriers regarding intersectoral co-operative behaviour as experienced in twelve distinct case studies in ten European countries. The COM-B behavioural system was applied to investigate which capabilities, opportunities and motivational elements appear necessary for co-operative behaviour.MethodTwelve focus groups were conducted between October 2018 and March 2019, with a total of 76 participants (policymakers, case study coordinators, governmental institutes and/or non-governmental organisations representing citizens or citizens). Focus groups were organised locally and held in the native language using a common protocol and handbook. One central organisation coordinated the focus groups and analysed the results. Translated data were analysed using deductive thematic analysis, applying previous intersectoral co-operation frameworks and the COM-B behavioural system.ResultsAmongst the main facilitators experienced were having highly motivated partners who find common goals and see mutual benefits, with good personal relationships and trust (Motivation). In addition, having supportive environments that provide opportunities to co-operate in terms of support and resources facilitated co-operation (Opportunity), along with motivated co-operation partners who have long-term visions, create good external visibility and who have clear agreements and clarity on roles from early on (Capability). Barriers included not having necessary and/or structural resources or enough time, and negative attitudes from specific stakeholders.ConclusionsThis study on facilitators and barriers to intersectoral co-operation in ten European countries confirms findings of earlier studies. This study also demonstrates that the COM-B model can serve as a relatively simple tool to understand co-operative behaviour in terms of the capability, opportunity and motivation required amongst co-operation partners from different sectors. Results can support co-operators’ and policymakers’ understanding of necessary elements of intersectoral co-operation. It can help them in developing more successful intersectoral co-operation when dealing with challenges of health, environmental sustainability and equity.

Perspective of Teaching in University Professors: Case Study in A Chilean University

The present study aims to critically analyse university teaching from the perspective of the actors themselves, since the exercise of teaching allows the teacher to look at their pedagogical practice, interpret it, and recreate it, also turning it into a source of learning from a perspective of change and innovation. In methodological terms, the study is based on the interpretive paradigm which is intended to understand how teachers mean the teaching process, therefore, the methodology option is qualitative through the case study. The data have been obtained through focus groups, with the participation of 16 university professors, a question that allowed the emergence of the discourse of the investigated subjects referring to their experience in the exercise of university teaching. The results point to the importance of didactics in the learning process, the establishment of good personal relationships with their students, the deep mastery of the content of the discipline taught by the teacher, the adequate theory-practice relationship, and the primary concern for the learning in their classrooms, as factors that stand out in those teachers who transcend in the lives of their students. They also open up the opportunity for a series of questions, many of them about the role of university teachers in their capacity as trainers of trainers.

Accountability and Community on the Internet: A Plea for Restorative Justice

AbstractIn this article, I analyze norm enforcement on social media, specifically cases where an agent has committed a moral transgression online and is brought to account by an Internet mob with incongruously injurious results in their offline life. I argue that users problematically imagine that they are members of a particular kind of moral community where shaming behaviors are not only acceptable, but morally required to ‘take down’ those who appear to violate community norms. I then demonstrate the costs that are associated with this strategy; the most worrisome being those that distort the nature of moral dialog and the purpose and effectiveness of accountability practices online, creating a vitriolic and polarising online environment. Because of these negative consequences, I suggest that we ought to hold others accountable for restorative ends. I argue that restorative accountability practices can help us cultivate new norms online that rely less for their enforcement upon negative acts such as shame, and more upon positive acts that focus upon the most appropriate way to make amends to the victim(s) and the community. In this sense, restorative accountability incorporates important elements from the ethics of care, a relational ethics that values creating, promoting, and restoring good social and personal relationships. I conclude by arguing that accountability practices premised on the ethics of care produce better outcomes for the victim(s) of a moral violation, the transgressor, and the community.

"Go Make Your Face Known": Collaborative Working through the Lens of Personal Relationships.

Background:Collaborative working between professionals is a key component of integrated care. The academic literature on it largely focuses either on integration between health and social care or on the dynamics of power and identity between doctors and nurses. With the proliferation and extension of nursing roles, there is a need to examine collaborative working amongst different types of nurses.Method:This study explored experiences of collaborative working amongst generalist and specialist nurses, in community and acute settings. We carried out semi-structured interviews, incorporating the Pictor technique, with 45 nurses, plus 33 other key stakeholders. Transcripts were analysed using Template Analysis. This article focuses on one major thematic area that emerged from the analysis: the significance of interpersonal relationships amongst nurses, and between them and other professionals, patients and carers.Results:Relationship issues were ubiquitous in participants’ accounts of collaborative working. Good personal relationships facilitated collaboration; face-to-face interaction was especially valued. Relationships were recognized as requiring effort, especially in new roles. Organisational changes could disrupt productive personal networks.Conclusion:Relationship issues are integral to successful collaborative working. Policy and practice leaders must take this into account in future service developments. Further research into collaborative relationships in different settings is needed.

INTRODUCTION In the last quarter of the twentieth century rapid development in the biological, medical, and pharmaceutical sciences has taken place and is continually developing causing a considerable broadening and deepening in the medical knowledge and thus the emergence of new methods of examination and treatment of patients. There is high importance in the development of medical and technical sciences and as a result the amount of information needed by physicians in their practice for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases has significantly increased. Using new and emerging drugs, diagnostics, and data from evidence-based medicine should help improve the clinical and cost effectiveness of care. Definition of Patient-Physician Relationship Physician-patient effective relationship is the main key to deliver good therapy and high quality healthcare in the medical field. Physicians and their communication, social and relational skills are the main pillars that help in collecting information and data from patients to facilitate precise and accurate diagnosis, and deliver effective care and therapy.1 These skills are the most important practices in the medical and clinical field that will help reach the best healthcare outcome and patient gratification.2 Furthermore, the physician-patient relationship has two main components: emotional and informational. Delivering successful medical care and intervention require strong physician-patient communication by establishing a partnership. Also, a patient has a great view about his or her medical situation or problem that will help him or her to be part of the decision making process.3 Therefore, creating a good social and personal relationship, facilitating sharing… ABBREVIATIONS: CDSS - Clinical Decision Support System, ICD - International Classification of Diseases, CPT - Current Procedural Terminology, SNOMED - Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine, HER - Electronic Health Records 1.
