Abstract The fact about the way God has described himself or how Muslims regard God’s traits is a significant point because that is the path to know the truth about God in his own words, and the verification of Muslims understanding of God through their thoughts and behaviors in accordance with Quran can be studied. In Islamic mysticism, the names and traits of God are categorized into two groups: beauty and divine glory. Although there have been widespread studies in regard to God’s traits, casting a statistical view on these traits can help with the understanding of God, because it would ease the recognition of the way God has introduced himself or envisages traits he most used for himself which in its turn will enlighten the path a Muslim should take. Therefore, with regard to statistics in this work, we would like to study the idea that which group of God’s traits (beauty or divine grace) is more repeated or what the proportion of the two is, and also what difference there is between the Meccan and Medinan suras in the description of God.

Abstract MOOC appearance has produced, in a first phase, more discussions than contributions. Despite pessimistic opinions or those catastrophic foreseeing the end of the classic education by accepting MOOC, the authors consider that, as it is happening in all situations when a field is reformed, instead of criticism or catastrophic predictions, an assessment should be simply made. MOOC will not be better or worse if it is discussed and dissected but can be tested in action, perfected by results, or abandoned if it has no prospects. Without testing, no decision is valid. A similarity between the MOOC appearance and the appearance of the idea of flying machines heavier than air can be made. In the flight case, the first reaction was a strong negation (including at Academies level) and only performing the first independent flight with an apparatus heavier than air has shifted orientation from denial to contributions. So, practical tests clarified the battle between ideas. The authors of this article encourage the idea of testing–assessment and, therefore, imagined and proposed one software for quickly assess whether MOOC produces changes in knowledge, by simply transferring courses from ‘face-to-face’ environment into the virtual one. Among the methods of statistical analysis for student behavioral changes was chosen the Keppel method. It underpins the assessment method of this work being approached using both the version with one variable and also with three variables. It is intended that this attempts to pave the way for other series of rapid assessment regarding MOOC effects (using other statistical methods). We believe, that this is the only approach that can lead either to improve the system or to renunciation.

In a concluding chapter the answers to the three subquestions in the Introduction are given. Augustine develops himself as a representative of the anti-Gnostic tradition. In the course of his development, he retains its theodicy, but breaks with its pedagogical understanding of divine grace. Further, Augustine clearly places himself in the classical pedagogical tradition. This becomes evident in the way he speaks about the educating meaning of fortuna and the pedagogy of dialogue. Having become presbyter, classic notions regarding ‘corrective friendship’ keep determining his thinking, but he increasingly Christianizes them. The research also shows that the debate about grace among Augustine scholars can be enriched with the insight that Augustine increasingly emphasizes the unique meaning of the death of Christ for man’s salvation. With regard to the discussion on Augustine’s justification of coercion, the research shows that there is no rupture in Augustine’s thinking, but, rather, an organic development.

The studies on the Japanese conception of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) represent an example of the unexpected way cultural specificities influence people’s emotions, thoughts,and behaviors. In a digital world where rapid social and institutions innovation must occur to adapt to the speed of the cyberspace, it is imperative for social sciences and humanities researchers to pay close attention to how the undercurrents of cultures and religions might influence the way people interact with the technological world.

The essence of education is an old topic. It is not only a theoretical problem, but also a practical problem. The essence of education is directly related to the answer to “What is education?”, and how to answer “What is education?” directly determines the way and content of education. On this basis, the statements about the nature of education also guide and standardize people’s educational concepts and behaviors (Shi, 2018). It can be said that human beings have been thinking about this issue since they have had educational practices. After the independence of the educational discipline, the discussion about the essence of education has become a basic problem of pedagogy. Scholars try to find answers to other specific educational questions by solving “What is education?”

The article presents an entropy-statistical analysis of losses in the mixing section of a central air conditioner. The temperature and humidity of the outdoor and recirculating air were measured. The methodology for determining losses using the entropy-statistical method is presented in the work. The calculation of losses in the mixing section of the central air conditioner due to the mixing of air flows depending on the flow rate of the supply and recirculation air as well as due to hydraulic losses. A comparative analysis of the results is carried out and the distribution diagrams of the component losses are presented. Proposed conclusions regarding the way to reduce losses.

Marketing is a significant point in agriculture. Without marketing, products that have been resulted may be difficult to sale. Marketing is not just a method to sell products as many as possible for benefits, but it is also the way to keep the existence of produced products on the market. The company also needs to communicate the product and the company itself to the customers, especially in the situation of fierce competition. One of the marketing successes is influenced by the promotions. Many products are not successful in the market because of the promotions failure although in terms of quality are well-established if compared with the other products (simamora, 2003: 284). Promotion program that currently favored by business is by using social media as a way to promote their products especially in companies with low budget. One of companies that uses social media to promote the products is Royal Sandwich. Royal Sandwich is one of the UKM (small and medium enterprises) in the field of convenience food. The aims of this study are: 1) Recognizing various promotion conducted by the Royal Sandwich. 2) Analyzing the effectiveness of promotion media of the fried sandwich product by Royal Sandwich based on the impact of communication. 3) Analyzing the effectiveness of promotion media of the fried sandwich product by Royal Sandwich based on the impact of sale.

The study of sociocultural anthropology has not only led to changes in the way I practice medicine. It has also led to changes in my understanding of the concepts of health and illness, of the importance in understanding my patients' perspectives, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors and how these are shaped by cultural and social influences.

The parameters of the functional response are not traits. They represent processes such as hunting and digesting prey. Thus, all the traits that influence the way predators and prey encounter each other in space and the morphologies and behaviors that influence capture, evasion, or digestion are all potential sources of variation in the functional response parameters. In this chapter, I cover how we break the parameters down mathematically so that the connection between the parameters and traits is more transparent. I review the empirical evidence for the dependence of functional response parameters on phenotypic traits, temperature, and habitats, and I showcase some examples of these effects.

On some days teachers need to just “get by.” It’s self- preservation. But when we let this minimalist effort become our habit, we are giving up on our dreams. We didn’t become teachers just to get a job. We became teachers to shape young minds, to make the world a better place, to offer support and guidance to young people, to share our passion for learning, to bring life to our classes and our stu­dents. We aspire to educate. A teacher who “aspires to excel is almost by default a visionary . . . a leader”. Schools can breed challenges and spirit- breaking experi­ences. Yet becoming dispirited about mandates, regulations, procedures, testing, and standards is no reason to give up on our dreams for students. If anything, those are the times to buckle down and work harder. Bolster determination. Ignite students’ interest. Ballast emo­tions with resolve to be our best and do our best. These are the aspirations that revitalize us. When we aspire to excel we can reconfigure our attitudes and behaviors. We can aim to bring out the best in ourselves and others. Nine Ways to Excel in Schools 1. Start the day with intention. Be clear and simple about your resolve. 2. Hold on to the best of you. Use that as a starting point to recover your aspirations. 3. Ignite your energy in the classroom. Stimulate engagement and interactions. 4. Subdue your energy in the classroom. Stimulate quietness. Let students take the lead. 5. Prompt learning. Use unique, clever, and challenging ways to hook students’ interest. 6. Show yourself. Let others see your interest and verve for learning. 7. Shift your classroom persona. Be the teacher you most admire. 8. Treat your students the way you would want your own chil­dren to be treated. Show respect, curiosity, compassion, and loving expectation. 9. Read, study, and query others. Find best practices to energize your classroom.

• “You want my honest opinion?” • “I’m just being honest.” • “I’m going to be brutally honest with you.” For many of us, hearing these words causes us to brace for mean- spirited “feedback.” And when we are the one “being honest,” we may believe we have unfettered permission to hurt, harm, or embarrass . . . all under the guise of honesty. Too often, the speaker uses “I’m just being honest” to excuse himself or herself from a kind or tempered commentary. Think of the categories toward which this kind of brutal honesty is aimed: appearance, skills, integrity, home life, family members, level of education, and so on. What is honesty, anyway, and why do we use it to say and do harsh and hurtful things? Why do we give ourselves permission to be impolite and to degrade someone under the banner of “being honest”? The etymology of the word “honesty” may surprise you. In previous centuries, the original meaning had the same root as the word “honor”: good manners, elegance, decency. Imagine how our verbal interactions might change if our honesty became honorable action. Imagine how our vitality in schools may change when we aspire to interact with decency and good manners, to be honest with students as well as staff. Imagine how we might explain and demonstrate honor and honesty throughout our students’ time with us. • Rather than speak with unconstrained freedom to hurt and hinder, we would display honesty with honorable actions and elegant intent. • Rather than equate honesty with “truth” (whose truth?), we would use honesty as the opportunity to behave with decency and good manners. When we adopt such noble attitudes and behaviors, we feel vibrant. Our energy changes. Our sense of being both peaceful and powerful is clear. We know we are on rich, solid ground. Behaving the way we choose, rather than the way that feels most natural, is foundational to our own leadership, matu­rity, and ability to help our students grow and develop . . . . Perhaps we are closer to being honest with ourselves and others when we act the way we know is best for the situation and act the way we want to be rather than acting according to habit and what feels natural.
