Aristotle’s Static World and Traditional Education – A Secondary Publication

The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of Aristotle’s view of nature that is, the staticview of the universe, and find implications for education. Plato sought to interpret the natural world using a rationalapproach rather than an incomplete observation. He thought that viewing the world from the perspective of geometry andmathematical regularity was the best way to understand the world. On the other hand, Aristotle believed that we couldunderstand the world through observations. His worldview portrayed a static reality, imbued with individual purpose anda sense of deliberate legitimacy. In addition, the natural motion of earthly objects and celestial bodies, which are naturalmovements towards the world of order, are the original actions. Aristotle thought that all natural things would carry outsome movement. Above all, Plato and Aristotle view the world as a static universe. It is possible to fully grasp the worldby approaching the objective nature that exists independently of human beings with human reason and observation.After all, for Aristotle, like Plato, their belief that the natural world was subject to regular and orderly laws of nature,despite the complexity and seemingly unceasing changes, became the basis of Western thought. The universe, rooted inthe metaphysical perspective of ancient Greece and carried forward in modern philosophy, has traditionally depended ondeveloping a dichotomy of comprehension, distinguishing between what is already accomplished or predetermined, theideal and the inevitable. This dichotomy forms the foundation of traditional teaching methods that often do not prioritizethe opinions of learners.

Implementation Technique Breast-feed With Nipples Milk Scratches On Mother Baby At Rs Viqueque City Regency Dili Timor Leste

According to Soetjiningsih (1997), the most common problem in breastfeeding is nipple pain / blisters, about 57% of mothers who breastfeed reported having suffered from blisters on their nipples. Nipples of blisters can prevent exclusive breastfeeding. Based on data in the Viqueque district hospital in Dili East Timor 2019, in 10 breastfeeding mothers, there were still many breastfeeding mothers who experienced blisters on the nipples . The design of this study included quantitative research with cross-sectional type of correlation design. The population in this study were all breastfeeding mothers who visited the Viqueque City Hospital in East Timor by taking the sample with the type of accidental sampling, amounting to 44 respondents. The variable in this research is the technique of breastfeeding and nipple milk with ordinal scale. This research was conducted in December 2019 until July 2020. In this study analyzed by contingency coefficient test with α o, 05. The results of the study after being tested with contingency coefficient obtained p-value = 0.008 < α = 0.05 (p-value <α) which means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means that there is a relationship between breastfeeding techniques and nipple milk nipples. Incorrect position in breastfeeding is a natural thing that occurs early in the breastfeeding period. Both mother and baby are in the learning stage. If the position is improperly attempted, the position is replaced until finally I find the right position. As time goes by, mother will become professional until finally she can find the right position for mother and baby. When the position is right, surely the mother's nipples will not blister.

<p><em>Land conversion is a logical consequence of increasing activity and population as well as other development processes. Land conversion is a natural thing to happen, but in reality, land conversion is a problem because it occurs on agricultural land that is still productive. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the conversion of agricultural land; know the impact of conversion of agricultural land on the welfare of farmers; and understanding the impact of the conversion on food security. Data analysis used in this study was factor analysis using a computer with the SPSS 19.0 program package.</em><em> </em><em>Based on the results of the research, the conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that the main factors driving land conversion are external and internal. The dominant external factors driving conversion are increased land requirements, more promising jobs in other sectors, uncertainty in the price of agricultural products (price fluctuations), and difficulties in finding workers in the agricultural sector. Internal factors driving land conversion are difficulties in obtaining water resources, high risk, and economic pressure; there was an increase in the income of Subak Gadon farmers on an average of IDR 240,650/are/month as a result of farmers converting land from paddy fields to utilization for business ventures. Land conversion does not affect the food security of farming families but affects food supply at the regional level.</em></p>

Selenomethionine, a Trace Element, Increases Osteoblastic Activity of hFOB 1.19 Cells (an In Vitro Study).

Osteoporosis and resulting fractures affect a significant group of people in the world. It has been shown in many studies that selenium has positive effects on bone metabolism. Based on this information, the aim of this study is to investigate whether bone differentiation will start in a shorter time by applying selenomethionine (SeMet) to hFOB cells.First, hFOB 1.19 cells were cultured. Safe doses of SeMet were determined by MTT and LDH tests. Ossification levels were determined by alizarin red staining and measurement of alkaline phosphatase enzyme levels. The results were analyzed with statistical tests.It was observed that SeMet increased cell viability at concentrations of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200µM in 24h. At these concentrations, cell viability increased above the control, the viabilities were as follows: 109.4%, 104.9%, 104.3%, 103.15%, and 100.27%. High doses of SeMet significantly reduce cell viability. According to Alizarin red staining, SeMet increases the amount of calcium deposits in hFOB cells in a dose-dependent manner. In the experimental groups, the highest ALP enzyme was determined in the 7-day SeMet application. The most effective dose was measured as 15µM.It was determined that SeMet, which is found as a trace element in living things in nature, increases the viability of hFOB cells, which are osteoblast cell precursors, and increases osteoblastic differentiation and osteoblastic activity in these cells. Our results are at a level that sheds light on an important problem in public health.

Smoking in Human Rights Perspective in Indonesia

Исполнять технонауку: Art & Science с точки зрения современной метафизики

In the article the assumptions, strategies and possibilities of Art & Science (A&S) are considered through the prism of three types of metaphysical thinking. These types are defined by the answers to the question: why is there something rather than nothing. Thus, the analysis of classical metaphysics makes it possible to identify the basic assumptions of many A&S projects. These assumptions are borrowed by art from the public self-presentation of science and from Western common sense: there is an autonomous and definite nature, it is successfully known and mastered by science. So nature is nature, and nothing more. These assumptions are disputed by post-Kantian transcendental ontology. It opens up for A&S the opportunity to reflect upon the givenness of nature in the experience mediated by science, namely the constitution of science’s own objectivity, the social and political factors involved, as well as naturalization processes that turn scientific objects into nature things by way of erasing their origin. Nature is in the eye of the beholder. Empirical metaphysics (a number of projects from STS) sheds light on laboratory practices of nature enactment and the role of non-human actors in these processes. Nature is not only in the eye of the beholder, but also in the hands of the doer. It is assembled gathers, among other things, from the tissues of society, politics, culture, so does not oppose them from the outside. Among other things, this move allows us to define Art & Science as the enactment or performance of technoscience, since the laboratory-technical aesthetics inherent in this art is a reenactment of the part of the technoscientific network of practices and actors. In conclusion, by means of Pierre Bourdieu’s critical sociology, a hypothesis is formulated explaining why an alliance with STS may be problematic for A&S artists, and why posthumanism and new materialism are assimilated in this art in a cliched form. The technoscientifically formed world requires technoscientific enlightenment based on STS and philosophy, and A&S in alliance with them can be its art.

존 듀이 미적 경험의 이해를 위한 젤트너의 제안

P. M. Zeltner was a John Dewey aesthetician who greatly enhanced his understanding of Dewey's aesthetic experience. He argues that Dewey's aesthetics represent naturalistic metaphysics, and in Dewey, organic humans and music result in the existence of ‘of nature’, ‘in nature’, and ‘by nature’. From this point of view, music is defined as containing the mysterious things of nature, that is, the metaphysical things of nature. Aesthetic experience is a key concept of Dewey aesthetics and a medium for restoring continuity between daily life and art. Dewey introduces everyday aesthetic experiences as ‘an experience’. Zeltner argues that this an experience is an aesthetic experience “as a convergent completion,” and that all experiences in everyday life become an aesthetic experience as well as an experience when they have aesthetic structures and properties. Zeltner suggests dividing ‘an experience’ into a primary phase of aesthetic experience and an intentionally cultivated phase of aesthetic experience for understanding Dewey’s aesthetic experience. However, these two phases have a continuity that can never be separated.
