비블리오드라마의 텍스트로써 그림책을 위한 연구

The purpose of this study is to enable the training of biblio drama through new texts ratherthan biblical texts as texts of biblio dramas, and to lay the foundations for the experience ofparticipants to interact with their lives and texts without religious burden. By using picturebooks as texts of bibliodramas, the interpretative training of bibliodramas can be done withoutreligious burdens on the Bible, and participants can participate in bibliodramas lightly ratherthan religious approaches. The picture book text enables the interpretation of various meaningsby the interaction between the text and the picture, the compressiveness of the text makes theinteraction with the participant's life in depth, and the picture text can reduce the burden of theparticipant by presenting the model of the image when the physical activity is done.Althoughthe possibility of using picture books as texts of biblio dramas is open, the hermeneuticmethodology for interpreting picture book texts is suggested as a follow-up study.

Soul in Vedanta Metaphysics and Emersonian Philosophy

Vedanta philosophy, as the foundation of Hindu philosophy, has talked much about the existence and role of Atma in life in depth, and Atma’s relationship to Paramatma as the unity of the worldly living beings and the absolute, Brahma. This notion deals with the idea that Atma is immortal and unchanged, but it undergoes transformation from body to body. The western Christian philosophy also has the notion of Atma with the name "the soul," but Christian philosophy gives the message of the changeability of the soul. Being brought up in Christian culture and tradition, Emerson focuses on the soul's spirituality in his writings and develops the theory of transcendentalism, but as influenced by Vedantic philosophy, his concept of the soul departs from pure Christian tradition and gets linked with the Vedantic concept of Atma and Paramatma. This study examines how Vedanta metaphysics and Emersonian transcendentalism share common ground in the perception of Atma and Paramatma, and finds the connection between Vedantic metaphysical notion of the soul as Atma and Paramatma and American transcendental view of the soul and the Over-soul proposed in Emerson’s writings. This study is significant to make a meaningful connection between the Eastern Vedic viewpoints with the Western viewpoints in the mode of philosophical understanding.

Interpretive Paradigm on Development of Science and Accounting Research

This study aims to understand the reality of social life in depth by understanding its essential nature through the level of emotional experience or subjective experience. With different levels of understanding and human behavior as subjects, research with this paradigm is not looking for generalizations. The interpretive paradigm is considered to have a correlation relationship with problems in the study of accounting and social science so that it can be used as a scientific approach in accounting development. This type of research uses qualitative. The research approach uses a literature review with several sources from previous research. The results of this study indicate that the interpretive paradigm in the philosophy of science can help researchers to see further and deeply related to the reality of social life, so that they can determine whether the reality is just a symbol and the ideas that arise are a truth about the reality of the problem. With the latest information generated will provide the development of science that is getting closer to the truth about the science being studied. In addition, as a perspective in interpretive sociology approach is a solution in solving an accounting problem that has a relationship with social interaction where an in-depth study is carried out and can affect the development of accounting science.

Life and priorities before death: A narrative inquiry of uncertainty and end of life in people with heart failure and their family members.

Most patients with advanced heart failure are ill-prepared and poorly supported during the end of life. To date, research has focused primarily on generalized patient accounts of the management or self-care phase of the syndrome. Little research has examined the end of life in depth or from the perspectives of family members. The purpose of this study is to describe how people diagnosed with heart failure and their family members describe uncertainty related to impending death. A narrative inquiry was undertaken using a social constructionist perspective. Twenty participants took part in over 60 interviews: 12 participants with heart failure (eight male and four female; mean = 67.3 years) and eight family members (mean = 61.6 years) engaged in two in-depth interviews, approximately 3-4 months apart, followed by a telephone follow-up 2-3 months later. Six key themes/storylines were identified. These included: prognosis messages received from physicians; whenever I die, I die; loss isn't new to me but … ; carrying on amidst the fragility of life; ultimately living not knowing; and the need to prepare. The six key storylines of death and dying with advanced heart failure were consistent for both patients and family members. There was a desire for better communication with physicians. Many participants were critical of how the prognosis of advanced heart failure was communicated to them, even if they anticipated the news. Participants wanted frank, open conversations with their healthcare providers that both acknowledged that they were at end of life but did not remove all hope.

The actuopaleontological studies on Cuban scleractinians and coral reefs of half a century ago are not over

Gathering and studying a rich collection of fossil corals in Bulgaria led to the definition of various new taxa, but highlighted the gaps in our knowledge of fossil Scleractinia. I needed to learn from living corals. An actuopaleontological project with massive sampling of all phenotypes following coral life in depth in Cuba (1970–1973) showed extraordinary scleractinian variability and led to “heresy” regarding the conventional Caribbean taxonomy. Subsequent fundamental new knowledge challenged Scleractinia taxonomy and justified the results of the investigation of the Cuban corals, through continuing contributions to: holistic approach to scleractinian species; integrative character of coral taxonomy; new paleobiological perspectives and tasks for study; and the evolutionary benefits of hybridization for reef survival. Continuing research can be supported by: an 80% preserved collection; a scientific audiovisual documentary; a monograph in Russian, French, and soon Spanish; and a substantially and rarely preserved coral life and reef ecosystem.

The relational capital of micro-enterprises run by women: the startup phase

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate how relational capital contributes to the startup phase of women-owned micro-enterprises. The motivation for the study stems from the fact that micro-enterprises are key drivers of economic growth and that woman entrepreneurs are key developers of these businesses.Design/methodology/approach– To gather data for our study, a qualitative research methodology was adopted using a case study approach based on examining current events of real life in depth (Yin, 2009). Nine cases of micro-enterprises run by women are analysed, focusing on the management of the start-up phase to investigate the nature and role of the relationships that are activated by the entrepreneurs.Findings– The paper develops the CAOS model of micro-entrepreneurship, examining the personal characteristics of the female entrepreneur (C); the environment in which the micro-enterprise operates (A); organizational and managerial aspects (O); and the motivations for starting a new business (S). Using this model, the authors’ are able to link these factors and classify different types of connections, it is possible to identify the kind of existing relations. From the analysis, it was found that a predominant use of networks characterized by informal and permanent relations, supporting the need to reconcile work and family and to involve relatives and friends in the network. This emphasizes the lack of strategy in the female-run micro-enterprises.Originality/value– Given that female entrepreneurship is regarded as central to the development and welfare of economies, the deepening of knowledge of how women entrepreneurs manage the start-up of her business can contribute to improving the effectiveness policies aimed at promoting the participation of female entrepreneurs in the economy.

Family and Poverty Eradication in Developing Countries

This research note aims to find the new perspective on “family” relating to poverty reduction with the case study of Myanmar. Firstly, this research note examines the concept of family in Myanmar. Secondly, it approaches the socio-economic impacts on family. Lastly, it analyzes “family” from the data collected by the life history interview to migrant workers from Myanmar. In depth life history interview shows that different ideas on family depending on the socio-economic situation of individuals. This research note calls for more focus on individuals and their relations with family rather than family as the main unit of analysis, however, family oriented policies for poverty reduction are widely discussed.

Immigration and Integration: The Irish in Wales, 1798-1922

In this work, Paul O'Leary examines the causes of emigration and seeks to understand the experience of Irish immigrants in Wales. Initially, there was little evidence of Celtic solidarity and the Irish often met with violent hostility from the Welsh. Nevertheless, by the late 19th century the tortuous process of integration was well under way and appeared to be relatively trouble free in comparison with the Irish experience in many other parts of Britain. The author considers key aspects of immigrant life in depth: pre-famine immigration; the role of the Irish in the labour force; criminality and drink; the establishment of community institutions ranging from Catholic churches and schools to pubs and bookshops, from friendly societies to political organizations; the mobilization of support for Irish nationalist organizations; and Irish participation in the labour movement. In each case the author links the distinctive experiences of the Irish to developments in Welsh society.
