Philanthropy and the Destination of the mind

The study will deal with the topic of charity and its role in preserving the Faculty of reason, in order to highlight the areas of achieving charitable work and the purposes of Sharia in preserving the Faculty of reason. The study will also show that the preservation of the Faculty of mind has two sides: the aspect of being and the aspect of nothingness. Research objectives: the research aims to demonstrate the impact of charitable work in preserving the purpose of preserving the mind from both sides of existence and non-existence, instilling the spirit of initiative in people's souls to establish charitable works; based on what is intended to achieve the reality of charitable work at the level of the Faculty of mind. As for the study method, it relied on the descriptive analytical method and application to some examples and issues in the field of charity work, and the study concluded a set of results, the most important of which are: the preservation of the Faculty of reason is a legitimate purpose, and a great social work urged by Islam, and make those responsible for it the most complete punishment, and charitable work also achieves the purpose of preserving the Faculty of mind, preserving its existence, and avoiding non-existence, and by preserving charitable work of this origin is an intentional interest of the Sharia.

Motivations and commitment to work in the hospitality industry: investigating employee psychology and responsible organizational behaviors

Augmented Reality Awareness and Latest Applications in Education: A Review

Several advances in technology have touched the educational sector, where improvements and enhancements are always a surge for innovative learning. Augmented Reality (AR) is considered an efficient and promising technology capable of enhancing the educational sector. AR is a visualization technology that allows human interaction by providing users with a perception of reality using virtual information. In other words, AR adds to the existing real-world environment some extra virtual information generated by computer techniques that can enhance the overall experience. This promising technology can be applied in different sectors such as education, healthcare, banks, tourism, etc. Despite the great work available in the literature about this topic, deep insights and extensive research are still needed before the actual implementation in the real world. The aim of this work is to highlight the importance of AR in improving the educational sector and increase awareness of using such an approach. A review is conducted to prove the validity of AR in increasing learning outcomes, students’ motivation, and engagement in classrooms, as well as improving the understanding level. Several papers were analyzed based on different application areas under various interdisciplinary databases. As a result, the papers were collected in a table-based format to provide researchers with better and easier insights on how to improve the use of AR in education before real implementation. This study helped in highlighting potential future work, discussing limitations, advantages, disadvantages, and the latest advances in this technology.

RESTORING CONTINUITY: NOTES ON HISTORY AND FICTION

ABSTRACTIn 1935, as Europe witnessed the rise of fascism, Paul Valéry tried to identify the origins of the crisis in a lecture titled “Le bilan de l'intelligence.” Things were better, he claimed, when people were able to understand their present moment as the result of past events—that is, when “continuity reigned in the minds.” In this article, I discuss why that sense of continuity with the past is, in fact, indispensable for individuals and societies alike; using instances from great works of fiction, ranging from Don Quixote to the novels of Toni Morrison and Abdulrazak Gurnah, I suggest that fiction—the literary imagination of the historical past—might be uniquely adept at restoring continuity when it is broken.

The problematic space between art, ambition, and gameplay: The Medium and the issues concerning difficult subject matter and gameplay in games.

This article identifies and examines a couple of selected issues regarding speculative digital games which endeavor to deal with serious subject matter. Due to the fact that speculative games are exceptionally well suited for symbolic representation of sensitive topics, they allow their creators to conceive ambitious projects that aspire to be great works of audiovisual art. However, because game texts belong to a very specific medium, it is not always possible to realize this ambition in the context of gameplay. For reasons of space and focus this article uses one particular game, The Medium (2021), to serve as the primary example of how the problems which occur in the process of combining specific, engaging gameplay with serious, sensitive subject matter, lead to situations in which a game can fail to fulfill the player's expectations. By analyzing the structure, gameplay, and storytelling tools employed in The Medium, the article places emphasis on the significance of the possible tensions between the intention of the designers of the game experience and the experiences, ideas, and interpretations the players themselves bring to the game text.

Основные направления развития современной армянской лингвистики

The present paper examines the topical areas of research in the field of linguistics in modern Armenia. These include, first of all, the continuation of work on the creation of a dialectological atlas of the Armenian language. Today, the problems of Armenian ethno- and glottogenesis are of great importance, where theoretical developments related to the description of the development of the Armenian language are of great importance. Scientists of the Institute of Language of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia are doing a great work on the development of modern Armenian lexicography and terminology. Collaborative work of Armenian scientists is also carried out on the creation of linguistic base for automatic translation, linguistic processing of information.

Performance evaluation of LU matrix decomposition using the SYCL standard

The object of this study is the performance of the SYCL standard tools when solving the LU matrix decomposition problem. SYCL is a fairly new technology for parallel computing in heterogeneous systems, so the topic of evaluating the performance of the standard on specific tasks in the field of parallel computing is relevant. In the study, the algorithm of parallelized LU decomposition of a square matrix was implemented by means of the SYCL standard and standard C++, and an experiment was conducted to test the implementation in a heterogeneous system with several types of processors. During testing, the program received square matrices of various dimensions as input, and the output was the execution time of the LU schedule on the selected processor. The obtained results, presented in the form of tabular and graphic data, show the advantage of the implementation of the SYCL standard over ordinary C++ by more than 2 times when using a graphics processor. It was experimentally shown that the implementation on SYCL is almost not inferior in speed to the implementation on ordinary C++ when executed on a central processor. Such results are caused both by the high possibility of parallelizing the LU schedule algorithm itself, and by the great work of the developers of the standard on its optimization. The obtained results indicate the possibility of speeding up the solution of the LU decomposition of the matrix and similar algorithms by means of SYCL when using heterogeneous systems with processors optimized for data parallelism. The results of the study can be used in justifying the choice of technology for solving LU matrix decomposition problems or problems with a similar parallelization scheme.

Some Approaches Measuring Creativity in the World and in Vietnam

Creativity is the "key" to bringing the world to continuous development because creative thinking helps people discover and invent great works that change the world. In the digital age, people's creative thinking is more appreciated than ever. This article will present the definition of creativity according to four major approaches: process, person, products and press. Next, the research on measuring creativity will be reviewed on the basis of synthesizing studies in the world and in Vietnam. For each approach, the world's most commonly used creativity measures are introduced, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and creativity measurement tools are discussed and analysed to guide the measurement of creativity in research and practice. Studies measuring creativity in the country are also compiled and evaluated according to these approaches to point out gaps that contribute to the direction of further studies.

Does Awareness of Aging Matter? The Moderating Function of Awareness of Age-Related Change on the Relationships Between COVID-19 Disruption, Perceived Stress, and Affect.

How people reflect on their own age may influence their well-being in the face of disruptions associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19). Subjective aging was operationalized in terms of one's awareness of age-related change (AARC), specifically, the gains and losses associated with aging. We developed a measure assessing disruptions to daily life associated with the COVID-19 pandemic across 3 dimensions (i.e., Social and Lifestyle Disruption, Work and Health Disruption, and Others Contracting COVID-19). We hypothesized that COVID-19 disruption would be positively associated with both AARC-losses and AARC-gains. Greater COVID-19 disruption would also be associated with poorer psychosocial outcomes (higher perceived stress and negative affect [NA] and lower positive affect [PA]) and these associations would be stronger for those reporting greater AARC-losses and weaker for those reporting greater AARC-gains. Cross-sectional questionnaire data were collected from 263 participants from the United States (aged 40-83; mean age: 62.88 years, standard deviation = 9.00; 56.3% females). After controlling for age, gender, education, employment, socioeconomic status, and physical functioning, greater Work and Health Disruption was associated with greater AARC-losses. Greater Social and Lifestyle Disruption was associated with both greater AARC-gains and AARC-losses. Moderation effects showed an exacerbating effect of AARC-losses on NA in the face of Work and Health Disruption and a protective effect of AARC-gains on PA in the context of Social and Lifestyle Disruption. We extend research detailing antecedents of AARC and highlight the need for longitudinal research that considers the ever-changing nature of the pandemic.

TRANSLATION AND STUDY OF THE LITERATURE OF ABAY IN CHINESE

In this article, based on the translation of Kazakh literature into Chinese, we briefly discuss the situation of translation of the works of the founder of Kazakh written literature, the poet, and philosopher Abai Kunanbayuly, into Chinese and their study in the People's Republic of China. In China, Kazakh literature is studied from the perspectives of sociology, communication, literary evaluation, philosophy, and literary translation. The translation of Kazakh literature into Chinese is divided into different periods: before the Great Cultural Revolution, after the Great Cultural Revolution, and the translation of the literature of independent Kazakhstan. Different ways of bringing the legacy of Abay Kunanbayuly to the Chinese people are shown. The works of Kabay, the translator who translated Abay's 167 poems, 3 poems, 45 Words as well as Mukhtar Auezov's four-volume epic "Abay", "Abay's Way" into Chinese, as he himself said, "I have devoted my whole life to Abay", the works of Li Chiushiung, who translated Abay's works into Chinese, and the works of Akbar Mazhituly, the contribution of the great poet's works to the development of Kazakh national spirituality in this country is comprehensively differentiated. By clarifying the stages of translation and dissemination of Abay's work, as well as the historical roots of the Kazakh nation's spiritual continuity in the two countries through Abay's legacy, the ways of achieving national unity and spiritual integrity were evaluated, examining how they reached the minds of the other countries and how they were accepted.

MIGUEL DE UNAMUNO’S TRANSLATION ERROR IN THE INTERPRETATION OF HAMLET’S LAST WORDS VS META TRANSLATION OF SHAKESPEARE’S TEXT

The article is devoted to the study of two works created by the outstanding Spanish philosopher and writer M. de Unamuno in 1920-1922. Based on Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, a poem (1920) and an article (1922) with the same title Repose is Silence were written. Their name is interpreted by Spanish researchers as a curious translation error of Hamlet’s last words: “The rest is silence”. The considered works are vivid examples of meta-translation reflecting the conceptual image of the artist’s world. The study and reconstruction of the context of the creation of two texts and the analysis of their ideological and artistic content allow not only to get closer to understanding the peculiarities of the linguistic consciousness of the Spanish philosopher and poet, but also to understand the huge potential of meta-translation as the realization of Bakhtin’s idea of the life of great works in the ‘big time’ of culture. These Unamuno meta-translations embody two artistic methods of mastering Shakespeare’s spiritual experience and at the same time are the result of Unamuno’s understanding of the Spanish (and wider European) reality of the turning point.

The Influence of Leadership on The Level of Discipline and Performance of Assistant Investigators at The Central Java Regional Police Criminal Investigation Unit

A pioneer is somebody who leads by starting social way of behaving by making due, coordinating, putting together, or controlling the endeavors/endeavors of others or through eminence, power, or position. The focus of power leaders is on their success in influencing others to produce an impact. It is believed that the success of a leader moves and influences others through his power toward the good of the other people and the organization he leads. In complex social situations, cooperation and collaboration are needed to build great work. In such situations, leaders and leadership are always needed for effectiveness and efficiency. Leadership emerged with human civilization, where they gathered to maintain their existence, challenging the beasts and the natural surroundings. There has been cooperation between humans and an element of leadership. Thus, it can be concluded that leaders and leadership wherever and whenever they are always needed, especially in modern times now and in the future. The article attempts to investigate the connection among authority and the degree of discipline and execution of collaborator examiners at the Focal Java Territorial Police's Criminal Examination Unit.

The Representation of Feminist Ideologies in Roald Dahl’s Matilda

Matilda is one of Roald Dahl's greatest works. In this novel, the titular character, Matilda, is described as a five-year-old girl Matilda with extraordinary ability, despite her unfavorable family. She was fortunate to meet a dedicated teacher, Miss Honey, who recognized her talents. The present study aimed at analyzing Roald Dahl’s novel entitled Matilda from feminist perspectives. This study focused on analyzing feminism represented in the novel’s intrinsic elements. The study employed close reading enriched with Rosemary Tong's elaboration on feminist perspectives. The analysis revealed that feminist ideologies are represented through the novel’s theme, setting, and characterizations of the major characters. The novel's theme represents feminist ideologies by presenting women against, abused, or embraced feminist ideologies. The socio-cultural setting of the novel further emphasized the oppression of women who wanted to be independent. The depiction of feminism was strongly presented in the characterizations of Matilda and Miss Honey, who cooperated in fighting against their families' patriarchal treatment. These results imply that the novel is educative for children and young women to raise awareness about gender equality.

Coolie from Marxist Perspective in Mulk Raj Anand’s Coolie

The aim of this article is to analyze critically about Mulk Raj Anand's novel Coolie from Marxist perspective. Although Marxist theory of literature developed out of Marx’s and Engel's general remarks concerning culture, art and literature in relation to their discussion about social economic and political questions as a literary theory. So Marxist criticism can be taken as the twentieth century phenomenon. Coolie is a great work of art and a number of themes and ideas have been woven into its texture. However, its central theme is the exploitation of the poor and the under-privileged by the forces of capitalism, industrialism and colonialism. This theme had been studied in depth with reference to Munoo, a poor, helpless orphan, who is denied his fundamental right to life and happiness, who is exploited and made to suffer, till he dies of consumption. Munoo is not the only victim of such exploitation, the novelist makes it quite clear, that such exploitation and denial of life and happiness is the lot of the poor everywhere in India, whether in villages or big cities like Daulatpur and Bombay. The lot of the poor is equally wretched and miserable whether in rural or urban India.

Outcomes and Factors Associated with Insufficient Effectiveness of Acute Treatments of Migraine in Japan: Results of the ObserVational survey of the Epidemiology, tReatment, and Care Of MigrainE (OVERCOME [Japan]) Study.

Knowledge of patient outcomes and treatment effectiveness associated with acute migraine treatments in Japan is lacking. To describe patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and treatment effectiveness in three acute treatment groups from OVERCOME (Japan): over-the-counter (OTC) only, prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/acetaminophen (Rx-NSAIDs/ACE) only, and triptans. OVERCOME (Japan) was an observational, cross-sectional, population-based web survey of people with migraine (July-September 2020). PROs, including the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ), Migraine Interictal Burden Scale (MIBS-4), Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Migraine (WPAI-M), were compared pairwise between treatment groups. Logistic regression was used to examine treatment effectiveness. The analysis included 9075 survey respondents (OTC only: n=5791; Rx-NSAIDs/ACE only: n=751; triptans: n=2533). Triptan users reported the lowest MSQ scores, most severe disability (MIDAS: 20.7% versus 6.3% and 11.6%) and severe interictal burden (MIBS-4: 50.1% versus 21.2% and 19.8%), and greatest work impairment (WPAI-M: 50.4% versus 32.2% and 30.8%) compared with the OTC and Rx-NSAIDs/ACE groups, respectively. Treatment effectiveness was very poor-to-poor for 60.9%, 43.1%, and 47.6% of the triptan, OTC, and Rx-NSAIDs/ACE groups, respectively. Severe interictal burden was significantly associated with insufficient treatment effectiveness (odds ratios, severe versus no burden: 0.47 [95% confidence interval: 0.40-0.54], 0.56 [0.35-0.89], and 0.41 [0.32-0.52], for the OTC, Rx-NSAIDs/ACE, and triptan groups, respectively). People with high migraine burden used triptans for acute treatment, but many reported poor treatment effectiveness. Education may be required to promote better treatments, including earlier introduction of migraine-specific acute and preventive medications.

On the Distinctions Between Spoken and Written Language in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Abstract: Figures as diverse as Samuel Beckett and Marshall McLuhan have lauded Joyce for his unusual awareness of the distinct conventions and characteristics of language as it occurs in different forms (primarily spoken and written). Such commentary usually focuses on Ulysses and Finnegans Wake . While more formally restrained than Joyce’s two greatest works, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man shows Joyce forging the philosophy and aesthetic which consciously treats language in these different forms, implicitly (through, for example, the strategies he develops to represent sound) and explicitly (through, for example, ruminations on the properties of writing and speech). This is shown not least by the fact the book begins not (as is sometimes claimed) at the beginning of Stephen’s life, but at the beginning of his linguistic life, and from the outset uses a variety of print-oriented techniques (such as italicization, indentation, and ellipsis points) to represent the phonic world. This implicitly demonstrates a further distinction, also crucial to Joyce’s later work, not only between speech and writing, but between handwriting and print. The distinction also looms large in A Portrait , which at various times references the manual in a way that emphasizes the labored means of production of the yet-to-be published writer, but also is written very distinctly (as Hugh Kenner observes about Ulysses ), for “technological space” or “printed pages for which it was designed from the beginning.” It is notable in this context that Joyce rejected one strategy in particular for representing the sounds of speech within the visual medium of writing: non-standard spelling. He experimented with a more phoneticized style in Stephen Hero , but this is largely abandoned by the time it becomes A Portrait . We are left with one notable dialectal spelling: “shite.” The deployment of this word speaks volumes about Joyce’s journey from sound to print.

From the Editor: School’s Out

The title of this editorial is from the work of the great philosopher Alice Cooper who penned a song of the same name in 1972 (look it up, kids – it was on vinyl!). While for many it is spring that represents new life blooming, for those involved in higher education, spring simply mocks us. As the trees and flowers blossom, birds return from their migration to warmer latitudes, faculty and students are locked in an epic struggle to somehow cover all the material promised in one of the great works of fiction, the syllabus. The faculty hope that some amount of what they have helped students discover sticks through the summer and beyond. Those who teach introductory courses like yours truly live in dread of the future comment from a colleague that the students you taught the semester before say that they have “never heard of” some concept into which you poured your heart and soul to get across its importance, even beauty. Students are trying to figure out if it is possible to learn an entire semester of geology in the weekend before the final (spoiler alert—it is not).

Design Intention of Scientific Elements in Vitruvian Man

These great works of art, produced during the Renaissance, in this day and age, has never failed to arouse huge debates among people. In order to create more satisfying fine artworks, some artists started to research science and left abundant related remains. As one representative artist, Leonardo da Vinci did many experiments or drew sketches that had relationships with science. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most representative and influential artists of the Renaissance who had the most extensive knowledge base. He was not only a painter, cartographer, inventor, anatomist, but also a musician and philosopher. His achievements in anatomy were far greater than his achievements in engineering, invention and architecture. The precise sketch of the human body and related notes were stricter and more accurate than previous achievements in this regard, especially Vitruvian Man which represented the perfect human body. After the publication of the Vitruvian man, the exquisite proportion and harmony displayed have been well-liked by the world and passed down from each generation. Not only that, Vitruvian Man has also become one source of inspiration for modern artists and writers. By clearly analyzing this painting through anatomy and geometry, more conclusions could be derived. Vitruvian man points out the meaning of the figure itself is often used as the hidden symbol of the basic symmetrical characteristic of the human bodys structure, and then as the hidden symbol of the whole universe.
