In the Beginning was the Word. The Relationship of Language to Social Organization in Spiritualist Churches

Both corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and donation-based crowdfunding have potential synergistic effects to generate funds, but fundraisers face competition and challenges to achieve their donation target. For instance, on the one hand, CSR initiatives may create the opportunity to generate funds through crowdfunding. On the other hand, crowdfunding can be used to micro fund many social activities in line with a company’s CSR goals. This study explores the relationship among successful donation fundraisers in crowdfunding activities that have the potential to become CSR activities. Specifically, the study examines the relationship of the value and size of funds raised in the beginning (first day) of fundraising effort with its target funds by the fundraiser and type of activities. Data from crowdfunding activities in Southeast Asian countries are used to examine the funds raised through donations by comparing trends, cultures, and characteristics of fundraisers using donation-based crowdfunding. The results of the study show that the value of funds raised in the beginning (first day) has a significant positive correlation with small targeted funds. Art, culture, and product-based activities of crowdfunding show the potential to have synergistic effects with CSR activities, and they tend to be correlated with successful project financing in Southeast Asia.

Online surveys have become a significant wellspring of data for clients prior to settling on an educated buy choice. Early audits of an item will in general exceptionally affect the ensuing item deals. In this paper, we step up and study the conduct qualities of early reviewer through their posted audits on our shopping gateway. In explicit, we partition item lifetime into three back to back stages, in particular early, lion's share. A client who has posted a survey in the beginning phase is considered as an early analyst. We quantitatively describe early reviewer dependent on their rating practices, the supportiveness scores got from others and the relationship of their surveys with item prevalence. We have tracked down that (1) an early analyst will in general relegate a higher normal rating score; and (2) an early reviewer will in general post more supportive audits. Our examination of item surveys additionally demonstrates that early reviewers appraisals and their got support scores are probably going to impact item prominence. By survey audit posting measure as a multiplayer rivalry game, we propose a novel edge based implanting model for early analyst forecast. Broad investigations on two diverse web based business datasets have shown that our proposed approach beats various cutthroat baselines.

Krueng Itam village is one of the villages where the majority of the residents work as palm oil farmers and depend on palm oil plantations. In marketing to sell FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunch) palm oil farmers still rely on collector traders (agents) which in this case is referred to by the term "Tauke Sawit" (toke sawit). In the beginning, the relationship between palm oil farmers and the Tauke was limited to economic relations, such as the sale and purchase relationship between sellers and buyers. But in its development, the relationship turns into a relationship of dependence and interest that leads to a patron-client relationship. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation and interview process that is expected to be able to provide an overview of the social relationship between tauke and farmers. Based on the results of the study, the relationship between tauke and palm oil farmers is a patron- client relationship where palm oil tauke as the patron and palm oil farmers as clients. Palm oil farmers need tauke to accomodate the harvest of palm oil FFB and tauke needs palm oil FFB from farmers to be sold to Palm oil mills. In this cooperative relationship, farmers will usually borrow money for capital needs and others to the tauke, this makes the farmers' dependence on the tauke become greater so that each of them will maintain the relationship by respecting the existing norms so that the relationship has been established will not be broken easily. The relationship of patron-clients is more visible in the relationship between tauke and small farmers, this is because there is a clear difference in socio-economic status between the two, so that the tauke as a patron play a big role.

Abstract: The thinking of Harold Innis on the relationship of communication to the rise and fall of historical forms of social organization has been little exploited in the context of contemporary organizational dynamics. In this essay, I use Innis' distinction between the vernacular and writing as an explanatory device to examine current trends in organization. Many of the patterns Innis pointed to can equally be found in the formation and disappearance of large organizations in our time, even though the time scale is radically compressed compared to his historical analyses. In one respect, however, a new pattern is emerging in the postmodern organization, where the "vernacular" is that of the writers, not the written, with paradoxical implications for the standard theory of rational organization, enunciated by Weber and others. Résumé: La pensée d'Harold Innis sur le rapport de la communication à la montée et la baisse de formes historiques d'organisation sociale n'a pas beaucoup été exploitée dans le contexte de dynamiques organisationnelles contemporaines. Dans cet article, j'utilise la distinction d'Innis entre « vernaculaire » et « écriture » pour expliquer des tendances courantes en organisation. En effet, on peut retrouver, dans la formation et la disparition de grandes organisations aujourd'hui, plusieurs des tendances qu'Innis a repérées, quoique leur durée est comprimée de manière radicale par rapport aux analyses historiques d'Innis. À un égard, cependant, une nouvelle tendance est en train d'émerger dans l'organisation postmoderne, où le « vernaculaire » est l'apanage de ceux qui écrivent plutôt que de l'écriture en soi, ce qui a une portée paradoxale sur la théorie conventionnelle de l'organisation rationnelle telle qu'énoncée par Weber et d'autres.

The Relationship

In the first volume of Raymond E. Brown’s magisterial three-volume commentary on the Gospel According to John, all of the major Johannine questions—of authorship, composition, dating, the relationship of John to the Synoptics (Mark, Matthew, and Luke)—are discussed. The important theories of modern biblical scholarship concerning John are weighed against the evidence given in the text and against prevailing biblical research. In sum, what is attempted is a synthesis of the major scholarly insights that bear on the Fourth Gospel. The translation—as Father Brown states at the outset—strives not for any formal beauty but rather for an accurate and contemporary version: “the simple, everyday Greek of the Gospel has been rendered into the ordinary American English of today.” The result is a translation that will strike the reader with uncommon immediacy. Father Brown also analyzes, in the appendixes, the meaning, use, and frequency of certain key words and phrases that occur in John, and examines the differences between the Johannine and Synoptic treatments of the miracle stories. The chapters of the Gospel translated here in Volume 29 (1–12) comprise the Prologue, which opens with the famous “In the beginning was the Word,” and the Book of Signs, an account of the miracles of Jesus and of his ministry.

Cancer Clinic

I WANT to make clear in the beginning that I am not a hematologist, and I am certainly not a cancer expert. However, I have been asked to present the views of a general pediatrician. I have divided the content of my presentation into three areas. First, the initial period of diagnosis of malignant disease in a child; second the relationship of the primary physician, or the practicing pediatrician, to the family and the clinic in the course of the illness; and, finally, the relationship of the physician to the family and clinic during the terminal stages and, indeed, after the death of the child. TIME OF INITIAL DIAGNOSIS First of all, at the time of the initial diagnosis of cancer and a malignant disease in a child, all physicians who serve as family physicians go through some rather serious self-searching problems of their own. This is not a straightforward illness, and there is a great deal of concern, such as "did I miss this diagnosis or did I completely overlook something critical here that has been going on for some time." This is a question that almost everybody who is thoughtful in their relationship with children will ask themselves. In some, it is a very destructive kind of response and, in others, perhaps constructive; but, nevertheless, it is a real one and a frightening one for a physician to face. Secondly, many physicians ask the question: "How can I get rid of this patient? Nobody likes doctors who take care of dying kids; how can I unload this patient?" I am talking of what many people have told me of their feelings.

The relationship of social organization to architectural standardization in Maya cities sheds light on urban planning and political structure–specifically changes in cultural complexity. What does variability in standardized E Group architecture tell us about diversity in Maya society, especially insofar as it concerns religion? Temporal variability in archaeoastronomical alignment patterning shows shifts from earlier Preclassic (1000 BCE-250 CE) horizon-based solar solstice/equinox calendar dates to Classic Period (250-950 CE) examples emphasizing zenith passage, possibly based on interaction with people from Teotihuacán. Data from temples and specialized architecture associated with E Groups have the potential to show how sites differed from one another regionally in the way religious institutions formed around calendar keeping and solar celebration. Trends in the construction of E Group complexes though time and across space are related to the tempo and mode of internal cultural developments, such as emerging bureaucracies, hallmarks of complexity related to occupational specialization. Building elaboration in religious precincts, such as increasing temple room size, number, and relative proportion relates to the expansion or contraction of priesthoods responsible for the seasonal festivals and other public (investiture) or private (prophecy) ceremonies in Maya centers.
