Analisis Isi Sosok Iblis dan Sebuah Ketaatan Dalam Film The Nun

The Nun is technically a prequel to the ever-expanding Conjuring Universe. This film tells the story of the origins of VALAK, the super scary demon nun from The Conjuring 2. Synopsis The Nun is set in 1952, at the Carta Monastery in Romania which is known to be haunted and cursed by local residents. This film tells the story of the investigation carried out by Father Burke, Sister Irene and Frenchie into the suicide of one of the nuns in the convent. In their investigation they find out that something is wrong with the place and they have to solve the puzzles one by one. In film this involves the collection and analysis of non-numerical data, such as text, images, or audio recordings. Researchers can use this method to explore the researcher's experience of watching the film, our perceptions of the characters and themes, and the impact of the film on moral beliefs and values. Unlike in the film The NUN, Valak in Christian demonology is actually a demon in the form of a small angel who rides a two-headed dragon, and is considered the commander of 38 legions of evil spirits. Some life lessons that can be taken from this film are obeying God, obeying his commands and staying away from his prohibitions.

Understanding the early development and supportive factors of individual resilience in times of COVID-19

This study explores how individuals cultivate their psychological resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic—an ongoing adversity worthy of exploration. Drawing on 55 semi-structured interviews, our qualitative research revealed an early pathway towards individual resilience, socioecological factors influencing the development of individual resilience, and lessons learned across the two observed phases - during and after the first COVID-19 lockdown (Europe, March–May 2020). The study shows three early, interrelated phases towards development of individual resilience - reflecting and making sense of what happened, experiencing hope for better life and regaining control in life. It unveils socioecological factors influencing the cultivation of individual resilience at micro, meso and macro levels. Furthermore, the study shows how life lessons learned could reflect the early development of individual resilience. The study contributes to the psychological resilience literature by exploring the early development of resilience over time and different contexts, and the role of socioecological in harnessing resilience.

Mister Rogers (1928-2003) Through the Holistic "Health & Wellness" Lens : Current and Historiographic Lessons.

In the 1960s, Fred Rogers created Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood ( MRN ), a television shows for children. Although Rogers may not have been aware that his series carried the potential for a public health model, such an observation becomes apparent in contemporary terms. This transdisciplinary narrative explores MRN through the lens of holistic "health & wellness." Several themes come in perspective as they relate to health as defined by the World Health Organization for present and future communities. Targeting a young population, Rogers focuses on emotional nurturing and health with safety for all and within a happy and healthy community-themes that are the core of public health. Through the "health & wellness" lens, the footprints for a child's behavioral and social model are evident; a model particularly relevant to present and future generations with emotional growth, health, and community spirit as essential. In MRN , children are learning through the visual and audio arts, self-esteem, caring, and positive behaviors for personal and social health. Through this lens, besides the footprints to an educational model, another evidence manifests itself, which is the timeless impact of the content of Rogers' life lessons that are constantly adjusting to the next audience of this age group by updating its format in parallel with an advancing technology, which supports the validity of MRN ' potential for a holistic public health model toward complete physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being, and as previously proposed by the World Health Organization.

Analisis Kepribadian Tokoh Utama dalam Novel Dangerous Romance Karya Daisy Ann: Kajian Psikologi Sastra

This research is based on the selfish side that exists in the personality of the main character in Daisy Ann's novel Dangerous Romance which can be studied more deeply with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative, with the aim of describing the personalities of the main characters, Maura and Benny Arliansyah, based on the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego. The research data are sentences quoted directly from the novel Dangerous Romance by Daisy Ann. The identity of Maura's personality includes the desire to possess, the desire for Ben's attention, the desire to be a good wife, and the desire to be a friend of Ben. The ego of the Maura personality encompasses selfishness, ambition, and reluctance to surrender, attention, openness, and jealousy. The superego in Maura's individuality involves the awareness of his egoism and the consciousness of releasing Ben. As for the superego that is seen in him, it is his awareness of his fault. These personality concepts can be used as a life lesson that one's selfishness can destroy everything. This finding is also a sign that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory can be used as a primary foundation in the study of novel literature so that it can be reimplemented in other literary works, whether drama or scripture. Keywords: Dangerous Romance, Psychoanalysis, Main Characters

VISUALISASI LIRIK LAGU “LIR ILIR” UNTUK ANAK-ANAK BERBASIS METODE DOUBLE DIAMOND

“Lir Ilir”, a folk song composed by Sunan Kalijaga, contains righteous meaning that teaches life lessons to human beings. The development of technology and information at the present time has triggered Indonesian children to be closer to and familiar with foreign cultures which may bring about negative impact on the preservation of Indonesian culture. Indonesian children become more familiar with foreign language songs rather than with Indonesian folk songs. Accordingly, the values of local culture may diminish over time when children tend to appreciate other cultures than their own one. The current study aims to create a visualization design of the lyrics of “Lir Ilir” as a complementary media of recognizing folk song to appeal mainly to children. The study employs Double Diamond design method approach. At the development phase, the cost-benefit matrix is used as a validation tool. The study results in four illustration posters employing the illustration styles of realistic, cute childlike, and spread illustrations in accordance with parts of stanzas in “Lir Ilir” lyrics. The visualization design of “Lir Ilir” may help Indonesian children to recognize, understand, and interpret the values of local cultures in Indonesia. Lyrics of Lir Ilir is one of the examples providing this purpose.

Bent and Broken

Abstract: This essay reflects on Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations and what it has meant, and continues to mean, to me as a reader and scholar of Dickens. Beginning from the observation that students seem invariably to detest Pip, the essay explains how reading the novel hermeneutically, as a lesson for my own life, has helped me to ruminate the complex feelings of shame that I have long felt regarding my own working-class childhood, and my own Estella. What I suggest finally is that, while neither of Great Expectations ’s endings is particularly happy, the novel ends with a muted but hopeful message about finding contentment, peace, and even joy despite being bent and broken

Life Lessons: Experiences of Gender Studies in Zines in the 1990s and 2000s

ABSTRACT The early years of gender studies in the US academy can be traced through their impact on zinesters, who parsed their interactions with these studies in their self-made and distributed publications. In this paper, I argue that the way that these young people used the space of the zine to make sense of feminist theory in their lives and to understand their experience of thinking through gender and sexuality within the college setting can serve as a reminder of the necessity for feminist theory to be transformative to students’ lived experiences, and of the critical importance for feminist studies in the academy to primarily enable students to, in Sara Ahmed’s words, ‘live a feminist life’. The zines discussed here show both the excitement and promise that arose for student zinesters in their work with feminist theory at college, but also the inequalities perpetuated by the gender studies classrooms of the 1990s and 2000s. As we reach a critical moment in reimagining and rebuilding institutions of higher education, zines discussing early gender studies courses offer a rare insight into the lived experience of historical efforts to address educational inequality, and can serve to refocus conversations on the role of studying liberation in the academy today.

Yudhishthira's Wisdom and Emerson's Brahma: The Power of Self-restraint/Samyama and the Awakened Soul

This research examines how wisdom and "brahma" are instrumental in handling critical situations and adverse moments in life as portrayed by Yudhisthira in "Yudhisthira's Wisdom" and Brahman in Emerson's poem "Brahma". The Pandavas regains their lost lives because of Yudhisthira's restrained emotions and calm response to Yaksa's ordeal of answering his questions. Ralph Waldo Emerson's character Brahma also stands for an awakened self that sees beyond sensory things, finds oneness in dualities so can accept death as a part of life itself. Such a supreme self keeps a person in a state of mind which transcends all kinds of differences and brings in the realization of meaninglessness of the transient realities and sensory perceptions. To substantiate the argument that wisdom and brahman are the spiritual forces within us, this paper uses Heinrich Zimmer, Vivekananda and Radhakrishnan's interpretations of the holy book of Gita and its life lesson about Samaya. Few critics' insights regarding Emerson's "brahma" are also borrowed to support the proposition that the ultimate Truth termed variously as Soul, Supreme Self, Awakened Soul, Brahman and others is within us--omnipresent and imperishable. In a world where cruelty, violence, political and religious outrages, and technological disasters are mocking humanity; love, harmony and peace, this research can help to inculcate in people peaceful ways of resolving crises, the art of surviving them and coping with great dilemmas of lives.

Imparting Value Based Education Through Gurukul Methodology for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

In the conditions of a global crisis value education represents the most efficient way of forming a social and intellectual basis for the achievement of sustainable development goals and coevolution ideas. Due to mounting problems related to sustainable development the need of value education for sustainable development continues growing. The proposed research will explore contemporary state of education and suggest possible ways for imparting value-based education through Gurukul methodology for achieving sustainable development goals.
 Value education for sustainable development is regarded as a way of forming of new consciousness and behaviour through which human development course should be adjusted.
 The Gurukul education system is an immortal part of our country’s rich traditions and cultural heritage. It is indeed one of the most valued and famous education and life learning systems practiced in ancient India.
 A Gurukul is a residential education system in India which dates to 5000 BC. Under this system, all are considered as equals and no fee is charged. The Shishyas or students are taught life lessons and a cultured way of life in natural surroundings. Also, humanity, love, peace and discipline are essential components of the Gurukul education.
 Gurukul education which focuses on applied knowledge, practical learning and personality development. It also emphasizes on thoughtfulness, respect for planetary boundaries, social equality and justice. This Sustainable Gurukul Education system prepares the Shishyas in all aspects of life in future.
 Sustainable development requires the interplay of all three areas: knowledge, values, and education, influencing individual and then collective decision-making, behavior, and action.
 We want to create a more sustainable world, with stable economies and more just and inclusive societies. A difficult but not unattainable target if we can count on the involvement of governments, institutions, businesses, and, above all, a responsible and committed public.
 Integration among the three elements is essential for sustainable development. Scientific knowledge without values can produce materialism, exploitation and destruction. Religious values without reason can lead to superstition and fanaticism. Education must bring both knowledge and values together to be effective. Sustainable development goal is one among 17 goals set out by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030.India is ranking 121 in the world for sustainable development ranking. These goals are directed towards ending poverty, inequality, climate change and peace for all. So, every country in the world is responsible to achieve these agendas.
 Besides, the idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat or Azadi ka Amrit Kaal cannot be actualised without making youth capable of contributing sustainability towards industrial revolution. The proposed research will explore various methods of imparting value-based education through Gurukul Methodology for achieving sustainable development goals.
 This kind of research in much needed in the current scenario. This research will try to explore the various dimensions of sustainable development which are linked with value education, so that people will have a better understanding of value education & its importance in sustainable development. The proposed research will be an in-depth study on how Gurukul Methodology can pave a way for sustainable development. It will develop a systematic review of literature on the value education through Gurukul Methodology & its importance in sustainable development, which is yet lacking. Researcher will try to develop a model through which value education can be imparted using Gurukul Methodology which results in sustainable development.

Considering life through death - introduction to lessons of life

I am a palliative care physician for 30 years. And I have been teaching " Lessons of Life " to medical students and elementary, junior high, and high school students for 30 years. Based on the words left behind by the deceased patient, these are classes to think about life through death. I would like to introduce some of the lectures at this conference.
 When I took care of a 23-year-old female terminal cancer patient, her pain of bone metastasis, which could not be removed, was relieved by a wedding ceremony. I was taught that pain is relieved not by drugs but by supporting the hopes and dreams of patients. A 21-year-old woman with cancer of unknown primary cancer, who had not been told of her prognosis, realized that she was dying and left a letter for her mother. She wrote, "I am glad I was born as your daughter” with gratitude. A 17-year-old high school male student, who had a brain tumor, left a diary. In the diary, he wrote, "If I were to die tomorrow, what would I do today? All I can do now is to live my life to death as I am.”An 18-year-old woman, battling rhabdomyosarcoma,said,“Walking, talking, seeing, hearing, laughing, crying, and living. You may think it’s normal as someone who always takes it for granted, but that’s not the case.” Through the words and actions left behind by my patients, I learn that we are living a day that is irreplaceable.

Instagram and end of life. Exploring the mediational role of social networks in young cancer patients through a case study

The growing prominence of social networks has changed the field of death by allowing people to share their personal experience of dying or surviving the death of loved ones. This paper features a case study through which we examine the mediational role of new technologies in end-of-life experiences in young cancer patients. The case study revolves around an Instagram account created by a young Spanish woman after being diagnosed with a cancer that would ultimately end her life. The thematic analysis carried out on the 196 posts focuses on three of the main topics addressed in the account: (1) the visibilisation of cancer and its impact on the daily lives of young patients; (2) the life lessons learnt from the experience of cancer; (3) a critique of the traditional imaginary of cancer, understood in terms of an individual struggle, together with the denunciation of the lack of social protection for young cancer patients. Ultimately, the analysis shows how Instagram acts in this case as a mediational tool through which the account’s creator not only relates to her community of followers, but also to herself and to her own illness, giving rise to different meaning-making and self-regulating functions.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect the anxiety of teachers at work?

ABSTRACT This paper explores teachers’ anxiety about work at 75 timepoints between October 2019 and July 2022, covering the period before, during and towards the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. We find the work-related anxiety of headteachers increased substantially throughout the pandemic – much more so than amongst more junior staff. Female teachers experienced a greater impact than men, particularly amongst those with young children. Differences were also observed in work-related anxiety between independent and state schoolteachers, though only during the first lockdown. We illustrate how providing onsite instruction, live online lessons and working longer hours were all associated with raised levels of work-related anxiety.
