The aim of this scoping review was to examine research theory, measurement instruments, correlates, interventions, and outcomes of resilience for family caregivers of persons with people with dementia (PwD).MethodThis scoping review was conducted according to Arksey and O'Malley’s scoping review framework and Joanna Briggs Institute’s manual for scoping reviews. Multiple databases, including Ovid‐MEDLINE, Ovid‐EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Korean databases were searched using controlled vocabulary and text words. Two review authors independently screened and selected relevant studies.ResultMultiple database search identified 18 studies, published between January 2000 and February 2022. Most studies (72.2%) used theoretical framework, such as modified McCubbin and McCubbin’s Family stress, adjustment, and adaptation model and Walsh’s Family resilience model. Eight measurement instruments have been applied to measure the resilience for family caregivers of PwD. However, all the used instruments were not conducted the cross‐cultural adaptation and construct validation in Korean family caregivers of PwD.

Diasporic Imagination and Chronotopes

Abstract The ways diasporic groups emerge and diasporic identities are constructed have recently become important research topics in sociolinguistics. However, these works have not paid sufficient attention to the spatial-temporal configurations of diasporic imaginations. In this article, I intend to shed light on the ways differing diasporic imaginations are inscribed on what kind of language-related diasporic activities are created by the diasporic subjects. To answer this question, I draw on the data of an ethnographically informed critical sociolinguistic study of diasporization among Hungarians in Catalonia that I conducted between 2018 and 2022. In the analysis, I compare the chronotopic figures appearing in the life journey narratives of Hungarians in Catalonia with the ways the ideal diasporic subject was imagined in the activities of two salient diasporic organizations. The article points to the fact that diasporic imaginations do not only contain moral guidelines on how diasporic subjects should behave, but they are also determined by the time and the space diasporic subjects inhabit.

Karawitan Composition Eka Semaya | Komposisi Karawitan Eka Semaya

Eka Semaya is a composition of karawitan petegak, which takes ideas from the stylist's personal experience. Eka Semaya is taken from the word Eka, which means One, and Semaya, which means Promise. So it can be concluded that Eka Semaya is a promise made by someone who is used to describe love and affection for the opposite sex, or it can be interpreted as a determination or a commitment between two humans (men and women) in which they make this Promise or determination in a wedding procession. This work creates stories about the stylist's and his partner's life journey. It is poured into a karawitan composition using the gamelan Semar Pegulungan Saih Pitu as the medium. The creation method used in Eka Semaya's karawitan designs is Alma M. Hawkins' method, which includes several stages: exploration, improvisation, and forming. Eka Semaya's composition is divided into four rounds, totaling 12 minutes. The realization of Eka Semaya's karawitan arrangements is expected to increase young Balinese artists' creativity to create works based on personal experience and have a value of beauty and features in compositional works.

Comparing the Depiction of Love in English and Indonesian Proverbs: An Analysis Using Cognitive Semantics and the Contrastive Method

This study delves into the intricate realm of human emotions, specifically exploring the concept of love as depicted in proverbs from two culturally distinct languages: English and Indonesian. This study utilized a cognitive semantics analysis and the contrastive method to unravel the underlying conceptualizations of love in these linguistic expressions. Proverbs served as windows into a society's collective wisdom and cultural values, often reflecting fundamental human experiences. By analyzing an extensive corpus of English and Indonesian proverbs related to love, we aimed to investigate the cognitive structures that underpin these linguistic expressions. Through this exploration, we also aimed to bridge linguistic and cultural gaps, shedding light on how love is conceptualized differently and similarly across these languages. Applying a cognitive semantics analysis, we dissected the metaphorical expressions and conceptual metaphors that govern love-related proverbs in both languages. Scrutinizing these linguistic metaphors uncovered the nuances of love as perceived by English and Indonesian speakers. The contrastive method allowed us to identify patterns of similarity and divergence in the cognitive love models, offering a deeper understanding of cross-cultural variations. Admittedly, the findings show that (1) both English and Indonesian proverbs utilize a diverse range of metaphorical expressions to convey the complex concept of love; In English proverbs, love is often metaphorically associated with the warmth of a fire, the journey of life, and the destination of that journey and Indonesian proverbs lean heavily on metaphors that are related to nature and natural elements, (2) the metaphorical expressions and source domains used to describe love in English and Indonesian proverbs signify culture's significant role in shaping the conceptualization of love in language, and (3) English proverbs focus more on love's transient and fleeting elements. In contrast, Indonesian proverbs highlight the more profound nature of love that extends beyond immediate gratification. By understanding how love is conceptualized in different languages, we can enrich our linguistic knowledge and gain valuable insights into how humans experience and express this universal emotion. Our study strives to foster cross-cultural appreciation and enhance intercultural communication by unraveling the intricate tapestry of love as depicted in English and Indonesian proverbs.

Qashash Al-Qur'an as Hypnoparenting in Children in Neuroscience Perspective

The stories within the Qashash al-Qur'an are incredibly captivating and leave a profound impression on those who contemplate them. Stories that carry profound wisdom have a remarkable ability to capture attention and stimulate the mind. Children enjoy listening to these stories as they embrace the values of Islamic education without feeling coerced. Examples include the stories of the prophets and narratives of past individuals, from which wisdom and lessons can be extracted from their life journeys. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this article seeks to explore this phenomenon. It argues that in order to instill these important values within the souls of young children, an effective educational method is through the study of hypnoparenting from a neuropsychological perspective. As children prepare for sleep, their brain waves transition from beta to alpha, allowing information and messages conveyed during this time to be stored in their subconscious. The data and information embedded within the subconscious mind will subsequently influence the child's thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in the future.

Dosa Yang Mendatagkan Maut Dan Tidak Mendatangkan Maut 1 Yohanes 5:16-17 Serta Pengaruhnya Bagi Orang Kristen Masa Kini

The interpretation of 1 John 5:16, 17, which distinguishes between sin leading to death and sin not leading to death, remains a topic of debate among Bible scholars. Diverse viewpoints arise from theological interpretations and biblical studies. Further dialogue is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of this verse. Employing exegetical methods, the author endeavors to elucidate the concept of mortal sin and non-lethal sin. The research centers on scrutinizing sin in 1 John, particularly in verses 2:1 and 3:8, and comparing it with the context of verses 5:16, 17. It considers factors such as faith in Jesus as the Mediator and situations involving conscious sin or continuous transgression against God's law, both of which lead to death. A sin that doesn't lead to death pertains to a believer who, during their life's journey, may sin but subsequently confesses to God. In such cases, God forgives, preventing eternal death.
