Violent Crime Policies in the Teaching and Learning Process in a Criminal Law Perspective

The reason for viciousness against understudies can happen on the grounds that educators don't grasp the significance of brutality and its unfortunate results. The instructor felt that the understudies would be stopped by whipping. Then again, understudies become angry and defiant to the educator. The conditions and background of acts of violence in education are strung together in a spiral relationship that can appear at any time, by any perpetrator who is involved in an educational institution, as long as there is a trigger for the incident. Recently, there have been various cases that occurred in the educational environment related to violence perpetrated by teachers against their students. Most of the occurrences are caused by the application of disciplinary norms that are too forced on students. Meanwhile, not all students are accustomed to disciplinary behavior. The wrong way of instilling discipline can be in the form of both physical and mental violence against children. The most visible thing is physical violence. It is not uncommon for this to go to court because parents feel they have been disadvantaged.

Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Behavior Intention Masyarakat Gen Y dalam Menggunakan QRIS pada Berbagai Toko Ritel di Kota Batam

Despite the previous severe contraction, the economy has gradually recovered, as evidenced by the resumption of significant transactions. One visible thing is the development of digitization in terms of converting conventional transactions into digital transactions such as the use of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesia Standard). In Batam City, it was reported by BI Kepri that the number of QRIS merchants increased by 10.28% from the first quarter of 2022, and users increased by 92.65% from the first quarter to 117,686 (y-o-y). However, many people have not switched to digital payments like Gen Y. The KIC survey spread across 34 provinces found that more Gen Y use conventional bank accounts than digital wallets and the use of digital wallets is dominated by Gen Z of 68%. This research aimed to analyze the factors that influence the Behavior intention of the Gen Y community in using QRIS in various retail stores in Batam city. The sample in this research was 101 respondents who were chosen according to predetermined criteria. The research model used a combination of TAM and TPB, with multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS. The results showed that Perceived Ease to Use had a significant effect on Perceived Usefulness, then Perceived Usefulness & Perceived Ease to Use affected Attitude, as well as the PEU, PE, Attitude, & Perceived Behavior control variables had a significant effect on behavior intention while the Subjective Norms variable did not significantly effect on behavior intention.

Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophy by Myles F. Burnyeat

Reviewed by: Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophy by Myles F. Burnyeat Allison Piñeros Glasscock and Elizabeth C. Shaw and Staff* BURNYEAT, Myles F. Explorations in Ancient and Modern Philosophy, vol. 4. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022. xii + 395 pp. Cloth, $120.00 The eleven essays in this collection were originally published while Burnyeat was at All Souls College, Oxford (1996–2006) and during his subsequent retirement. Like volume 3 of the same series, the collection was published posthumously, with editorial work undertaken by Carol Atack, Malcolm Schofield, and David Sedley. Part I contains seven essays on topics in ontology and epistemology; part II contains four essays on physics and optics. The figures examined include the usual suspects—Plato and Aristotle (plus an appearance by Aquinas)—but Burnyeat also draws our attention to some less appreciated accomplices to the ancient philosophical project: the Platonist commentator Numenius of Apamea, the Pythagorean Archytas of Tarentum, and Anaxarchus of Abdera, a follower of Democritus. The result is a collection that showcases one of Burnyeat's greatest strengths: his ability to identify the clues left for us in ancient texts and to produce from them compelling and exquisitely detailed accounts of what ancient philosophers were thinking and why. One of the final papers of the volume illustrates Burnyeat's detective acumen. "Archytas and optics" starts from the following question: Why is optics absent from the mathematical curriculum Plato sketches in the Republic? Burnyeat hypothesizes that if mathematical optics existed when the Republic was written, Plato likely excised it from the curriculum on the grounds that the discipline would lead the student to focus on visible things and their appearances. The bulk of the paper is devoted to establishing the antecedent of this conditional. Burnyeat argues that mathematical optics did exist at the time of the Republic's writing, and he posits the noncanonical Pythagorean Archytas as its founder. To recognize the significance of this lacuna in the Republic's curriculum and to provide a persuasive identification of the founder of an entire discipline is already to make a substantial contribution to scholarship. But how Burnyeat arrives at his central conclusion is equally impressive. He takes the reader on a tour of Aristotle, Plato, and Iamblichus, fragment 4 of Archytas, and the Apologia of Apuleius (whom readers might better recognize as the novelist responsible for The Golden [End Page 345] Ass). The result is not only an answer to the paper's central question, but a deeper understanding of the broader intellectual network in which canonical figures like Plato and Aristotle operated. No fragment is too small to catch Burnyeat's notice, nor is any line in a manuscript too faint. Part I of the collection includes Burnyeat's famous paper "Kinēsis vs. energeia: a much-read passage in (but not of) Aristotle's Metaphysics." The central argument is that Metaphysics 9.6.1048b18–35 is out of place. It was written by Aristotle for a different context and should not be printed in book 9. Because this article is so well known, I will not dwell on the details of the argument, but once again Burnyeat's methodology is worthy of comment. The first part of the paper offers a careful examination of the Metaphysics's manuscript tradition that attends both to what is present and to what is absent. For example, we learn that the focus passage is missing from an entire branch of the tradition, which Burnyeat suggests is the result of a learned excision. Later, Burnyeat develops a psychological sketch of the scribe of manuscript Ab beginning from the observation that a faint line is drawn through part of the focus passage. He argues that the scribe's motivation is not disapproval of the passage's contents but a desire to keep his text and commentary in sync. Observations like these provide the foundation for Burnyeat's thesis about the philosophical import of the focus passage, and they demonstrate that the physical record can be just as vital to reconstructions of ancient philosophy as the words that the record preserves. Occasionally, Burnyeat offers more direct admonitions to his readers about how to approach ancient philosophy. A key lesson...

Gravitational Well

Abstract: A gravitational well is a potential well that describes an inhomogeneous gravitational field of an energy gradient, a quantum density gradient of a medium, and a gravitational action potential gradient. A Gravitational well is the distorted or warped Space-time. It is called a well, because it looks some kind of well.In the figure warped space-time is the Gravitational well. The mass of the object influences the depth of the well. It is not a visible thing, But its just the curvature of space-time and its real phenomenon The force of gravity is determined by the gradient of gravitational energy, the deformation vector of quantized space-time and the strength of the gravitational field. It should be noted that the force F of gravity is always directed to the bottom of the gravitational well in the direction of decreasing gravitational energy, quantum density of the medium and gravitational action potential [1-7]. Keywords: Quantum gravity, gravitational well, gradient, gravitational energy, quantum density, gravitational action potential, deformation vector

Божественная свобода, предмирное грехопадение и аргумент от сокрытости

The paper examines the hiddenness argument, originally developed in «Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason» (1993) by John Schellenberg. This argument is based on the notion of perfectly loving God eager to establish a personal relationship with everyone who is not resistant to Him. Since there are many unbelievers left ignorant about God without any fault on their part, God is not perfectly loving. If unsurpassable love is a necessary attribute of theistic God, as Schellenberg maintains, it follows that theistic God does not exist. Two possible objections against this reasoning are highlighted. First, it could be argued that theistic God has absolute freedom rather than unlimited love. In this case He is free to hide or disclose Himself to anyone He deems suitable for this. Second, the hiddenness of God could be linked to the pre-mundane Fall, committed by the souls beyond the realm of visible things. Thus any form of unbelief is stemmed from the original resistance to God, even if some persons seem to be nonresistant in their present earthly lives. This model, inspired by the teachings of Eastern Church Fathers, helps to reconcile hiddenness of God with His unsurpassable love to all the creatures.

Banners of the Double Kingdom: How to Identify the Product of Creation and Its Order

AbstractOne of the important dogmatic questions concerning the creed’s first article is to understand what gets produced in the divine act of creation and how that product is ontologically ordered. Traditionally creation is regarded as a double product of two kingdoms, heaven and earth, where God’s sovereign governance of earth is mediated through a governance already established in the created realm of heaven. I show that there are theological and philosophical reasons for affirming that God not only makes heaven and earth, but ontologically orders them so that the visible things are made from, or through the mediation of, the invisible.

Die Logoi der platonischen Sonnenanalogie

In Plato's Republic, the Analogy of the Sun famously points out that as the Idea of the Good relates to the knowable Forms so does the Sun to the visible things. Yet, no one has ever questioned whether the consequences claimed to be caused by the sun – among them especially the vital genesis of all physical things – can, based on Plato's philosophy, actually be caused by the material body of the sun. Taking this as a point of departure, the present article looks into whether one can reveal more of the Analogy, just as Socrates himself frequently emphasises the incompleteness of his presentation. The article thus develops a series of detailed arguments to propose a differentiation of each analogical relation into two subrelations, which imply a transcendent principle and an immanent representation of this principle on both sides of the Analogy. Implementing this differentiation bears the potential to solve existing tensions within the interpretation of Republic VI and VII, it allows for further systematic considerations about, among others, the Good and the Beautiful and it may help to contextualise Plato's Analogy historically.

Invisibility Cloak using Color Detection and Segmentation with open CV

Have you ever thought of making visible things invisible, just like the Harry Potter? Have you ever thought how does one supersede backgrounds and add effects in a movie? The cloak was magical and invisible in Harry Potter, the movie. As we know there is no magic and no invisible cloak which exists in the world. It’s all about the graphicstricks. The concept of an invisibility cloak is a mixture of science, fantasy, and the collective imagination. This paper helps to create one’s own ‘Invisibility Cloak’.It will make use of Python and OpenCV module specifically targeting Image Processing and Image Segmentation to create a false sense of invisibility in the frame. It will explore how an object of a specific color or texture can be manipulated using the OpenCV library of python. To achieve this, initially we’ll be capturing and storing the backdrop frame . Thereafter we’ll be identifying the red coloured fabric by making use of the above mentioned algorithms. Then we’ll segment out the red colored fabric by generating a mask and then finallywe’ll generate the final augmented(magical) output to create Invisibility cloak. These steps are discussed deeper in thepaper.

Специфика природы образа в социокультурном пространстве

Among the researchers of the visual, visualization is singled out as one of the universal characteristics of modern culture. This trend is due to the growth of visual artefacts that are rapidly filling the socio-cultural space. Many factors contributed to this, and one of the main ones is the development of media communications. The discourse on visuality went beyond the boundaries of Art Studies, which entailed the study of non-artistic visuality – the everyday life of visible things. As a result of visual experience expansion, the processes of production and consumption of visual images have changed, which is reflected in social practices. Terminological difficulties encountered in the field of visual studies speak to the problems of visual studies institutionalization. Nevertheless, we can distinguish two polar theoretical approaches: according to the first approach, the image is understood as a "cultural" representation mediated by various ideological practices. This approach has been influenced by constructivism, which is reflected in the interest in analyzing the role of images in the formation of social and cultural meanings. Also, the representational theory of imagery deals with issues related to the view of the observer and its conditioning by various scopic regimes. This paradigm is considered to be subject to emancipation trends. It asserts the change of the concept of a passive spectator, captured by images, to the concept of a spectator, who actively participates in the creation of visual images. The second approach, which is considered in the article, interprets the image from the phenomenology point of view. The phenomenological approach to visual imagery focuses on the image-presentation concept, which exists autonomously from the observer, in the mode of semantic closure, which means that the visual image has its own content that is difficult for the subject to access. The presented concept excludes reading the image only as a reflection or representation of the socio-cultural field. It is concluded that the image theory is undergoing significant changes, and vision and the viewer are becoming more independent.

Making “Sustainable Consumption” Matter: The Indoor Microclimate as Contested Cultural Artifact

This article demonstrates how a cultural reading of consumption that focuses on the meaning and materiality of domestic indoor microclimates can contribute to conceptual developments in the field of practice theory that refocus attention on cultural patterns, including prevailing norms and prescriptions regarding indoor temperature and thermal comfort. Drawing on evidence collected during a research-led change initiative that encouraged people to reduce energy use in the home by lowering indoor temperature to 18°C, we deploy the heuristic device of “indoor microclimate as artifact” to show how the manifestation of this new artifact initiated significant changes in everyday practices that revolve around heating. We observe that these changes may also spill over into the public sphere – from home to workplace. By making the microclimate a tangible and visible thing, we describe how people appropriate and appreciate this new object of consumption, what it says about different bodies in diverse and bounded spaces, and what the artifact as a commodity reveals about broader systems of heating and energy provision, and associated actors. Due to the increasing spread of central heating and the growing importance of complex technological devices to monitor and control indoor temperature, heating is no longer a practice in and of itself for many urban dwellers in Europe. However, when people appropriate the indoor microclimate, new heating-related practices emerge that can lead to energy sufficiency. We thus argue that by deliberately “materializing” domestic indoor microclimate as part of a change initiative, more sustainable forms of energy use can be made to matter.

Freedom and evolution in the dynamics of social systems

This is a review of recent work on how the physics of evolution accounts for the origin, changes and future of social systems. Evolution means the changes (spatial, temporal) that happen with discernible direction in time. Changes are everywhere because physical features of ‘freedom to change’ are in every moving and flowing system. With freedom comes evolution, and with evolution come all these visible things, movement, change, configurations, diversity, multiple scales, and the universality of social organization phenomena such as human settlements, hierarchy, economics, economies of scale and diminishing returns.

Aplikasi Elaboration Likelihood Model Theory dalam Iklan Calon Gubernur 2018 terhadap Perilaku Memilih

The election of the head of the region would be held by government. It brought its own benefits to the campaign team. It was easy to find even before the pairing, the candidates who would forward to show his face in a billboard or banner on the sidewalk. Their poses for religious festivities or bright invokes blessings. They described in doing many positive activities to attract people's sympathy. Many governor candidates used outdoor media to advertise them in the governor election last June. Generally they showed self-advertising positively, memorable, and interesting. There were characteristics that highlighted. So, prospective voters would remember and did not hesitate to vote. This was the usual way of using elaboration likelihood theory either on peripheral routes or central routes. The central route involved critical thinking that peripheral routes did not do that. This theory was also associated with the behavior of people’s vote. The results of this conceptual study showed the finding that visible things are visually capable of capturing unselected voters with peripheral routes. In the other hand, voters who used the central route were given a lot of informative information to reinforce belief.

Data Integration Using Through Attentive Multi-View Graph Auto-Encoders

Thematic integration represents a function in likeness judgments of sets of objects which are unrelated taxonomically, like soup and scoop. We hypothesized that integration provides as an even more key method in the likeness evaluation of abstract objects due to their temporality, their big variability, and relational nature. One therapy is always to influence information from different options - such as for example text information -equally to coach visible designs and to constrain their predictions. We provide a fresh serious visual-semantic embedding design experienced to spot visible things applying equally marked picture information along with semantic data learned from unannotated text. We show this design fits state-of-the-art efficiency on the 1000-class ImageNet item acceptance concern while creating more semantically realistic problems, and also reveal that the semantic data may be used to create forecasts about thousands of picture brands maybe not seen throughout training. we design the integration applying multi-view chart auto-encoders, and include receptive process to ascertain the loads for every see regarding equivalent jobs and characteristics for greater interpretability. Our design has variable style for equally semi-supervised and unsupervised settings. Fresh benefits shown substantial predictive precision improvement. Situation reports also revealed greater design volume introduce node characteristics and interpretability.

Said and the world: typos, mistranslations and neoplatonism

This paper departs from the observation of a typo in a recurring quote from Hugh of Saint Victor’s Didascalicon in Edward Said’s works, a problem which upon closer inspection is symptomatic of an attitude toward religious thought that is counterproductive for Said’s arguments concerning a secular reading of texts. For decades, the words “in visible and transitory things” have been printed as “invisible and transitory things,” substantially changing the meaning of the text. Furthermore, following on Auerbach’s footsteps, Said draws from Hugh to substantiate central categories for his thought, namely exile, love, and the world, but, either willingly or unwillingly, he suppresses the original meaning of such concepts in Hugh, arriving to a characterization of them that is solely grounded on an anachronistic, 20th century perspective. By rereading Hugh in its original context, in light of the Bible and medieval Neoplatonism, we may arrive to a better understanding to how ideas that came to be of great importance to Comparative and World Literature came to occupy their place.

ВАРИАЦИИ МИСТИЧЕСКИХ ИДЕЙ В ЛИТЕРАТУРЕ XIX ВЕКА (О. де Бальзак, Ж. де Местр, Ш. Бодлер)

This work deals with an important aspect of the writings of three 19 th -century authors - Joseph de Maistre, Honore de Balzac and Charles Baudelaire. They were followers of the theory of correspondence, or ‘universal analogy’, which suggests that each visible thing is a symbol of the invisible world and each material phenomenon is in correspondence with the Divine laws. The author of this article highlights that it is impossible to reflect on the artistic legacy of these authors – ‘prophets’ and ‘clairvoyants’ – without understanding the mystical idea that is fundamental for their writings. They formed their own bonds with the mystics Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and Emanuel Swedenborg. Balzac's novels contain numerous reminiscences of Swedenborg’s mystical works such as Arcana Coelestia (Heavenly Mysteries) and L’Homme de Desir , the influence of the ‘unknown philosopher’ Saint-Martin is evident in J. de Maistre’s ‘ Les Soirees de Saint-Petersbourg (Saint Petersburg Dialogues) , while Charles Baudelaire repeatedly mentions Emanuel Swedenborg in his essays. The author of Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) can also be regarded as a follower of Joseph de Maistre’s aesthetics, since Baudelaire’s revolutionary pathos contains a tinge of de Maistre’s political theosophy, which is based on the concept of Divine Providence that governs the material world. In so far as the concept of the Divine Proportion is concerned, the basic ideas of de Maistre’s providentialism are in line with philosophical theses of Balzac, another follower of the theory of correspondence. However, when it comes to the concept of matter, their views differ. According to the author of the Mystical Book , both the invisible spiritual world and the visible physical world consist of the same matter, which can transform itself but does not disappear. De Maistre, on the other hand, believed that matter is but a sign of the almighty Spirit. During their lifetime, the writers avoided owning that they were fascinated by mystical philosophy. However, their writings have proved that their knowledge of mysticism was indeed profound. By virtue of their powerful imagination, they were able to use the metaphor and convey their idea of the fundamental nature of the Divine idea. Each of them yearned to renovate the Christian religion and was looking for the possible ways of regaining the lost Unity, the poet’s role being that of a clairvoyant and an interpreter of the sacred signs.
