General Account

In this essay I first present a general account of the virtue of patience, drawing upon recent work by Matthew Pianalto and Nic Bommarito. I then illustrate how patience, so understood, will be a crucial virtue in achieving sustainability across a variety of contexts—from efforts in ecological restoration, to political and social action, to responding appropriately to setbacks, errors, and suffering more generally. I argue that a focus on patience in such contexts can bring to the fore often-overlooked aspects of the virtue, including its role (1) in pursuing goals where we ourselves will never see the full impacts and outcomes of our actions, and (2) in maintaining our goals and actions despite a lack of clear results and feedback. To pursue the long-term goals of sustainability effectively, often without clear, short-term, or immediate feedback will constitute a significant challenge; patience and perspective will be essential.

AbstrakPemberdayaan masyarakat merupakan suatu tindakan sosial dimana penduduk sebagai komunitas mengorganisasikan diri dalam membuat perencanaan dan tindakan kolektif untuk memecahkan masalah sosial atau memenuhi kebutuhan sesuai dengan kemampuan dan sumber daya yang dimilikinya. Analisa SWOT merupakan suatu bentuk analisis di dalam manajemen perusahaan atau di dalam organisasi yang secara sistematis dapat membantu dalam usaha penyusunan suatu rencana yang matang untuk mencapai tujuan,baik tujuan jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang. Dengan menggunakan metode analisa SWOT, jumlah jamaah yang sudah diberdayakan berdasarkan umur 30-35 tahun sebanyak 7 orang sebesar 25%, 36-40 tahun sebanyak 10 orang sebesar 35%, 41-45 tahun sebanyak 1 orang sebesar 3%, 46-50 tahun sebanyak 5 orang sebesar 17%, 51-55 tahun sebanyak 2 orang sebesar 7%, 56-60 tahun sebanyak 1 orang sebesar 3%,umur 61-65 tahun sebanyak 3 orang sebesar 10%. Dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa sebagian besar jamaah yang diberdayakan Komit Jawatan Uswatan berumur 36-40 tahun sebesar 35%.Kata kunci : pemberdayaan,ekonomi, analisa swot, komit jawatan.AbstractCommunity empowerment is a social action in which the population as a community organizes itself in making collective planning and action to solve social problems or meet the needs in accordance with the capabilities and resources it has. SWOT Analysis is a form of analysis within the management of the company or within the organization that systematically can help in the effort of preparation of a mature plan to achieve goals, both short-term and long-term goals, By using swot analysis method, the number of pilgrims who have been empowered based on age 30-35 years as many as 7 people by 25%, 36-40 years as many as 10 people by 35%, 41-45 years as much as 1 person by 3%, 46-50 years as many as 5 people by 17%, 51-55 years as many as 2 people by 7%, 56-60 years as much as 1 person by 3%, age 61-65 years as many as 3 people by 10%. It can be concluded that most of the pilgrims who are empowered by the Commitment of the Bureau of Uswatan are 36-40 years old by 35%.Keywords: empowerment, economy, swot analysis, committing service

This paper offers a critical reconsideration of the social, spatial and temporal dynamics of sixth- to eighth-century great hall complexes in England. The major interpretative issues and constraints imposed by the data are considered, and the sites are then subject to comparative analysis across long-term and short-term temporal scales. The former highlights persistence of antecedent activity and centrality, the latter the ways in which the built environment was perceived in the past, structured social action, and was a medium for the construction and consolidation of elite identity and authority. Within the broad similarity that defines the site-type there is evidence for considerable diversity and complexity of site history and afterlife.

Moral Theories

AbstractRecent work on the morality of hell spans the various subdisciplines of theology, with the ironic exception of theological ethics. An adequate defence of hell requires a positive account of how God's eternally tormenting some humans is beautiful, just and worthy of worship. This suggests a short-term and long-term task. The short-term task, which this article pursues, tests whether an adequate moral theory is available by evaluating three possible candidates, the third of which is the most interesting, as it offers a historicist defence of hell: we believe hell is cruel only because of aversions to cruel and unusual punishment that emerged in modernity. Nonetheless, all three defences are inadequate, suggesting a longer term goal: we need either better moral theories or better accounts of hell, as well as greater analytic clarity regarding theological statements of the form,I want doctrineyto be true but believe doctrinexis true.

Return To Activity

Noncompliance to rehabilitation programs presents a significant challenge to clinicians. Noncompliant athletes are at greater risk for re-injury and slower return to activity. There is a paucity of information concerning compliance to sports rehabilitation. This paper advocates the use of behavioral and cognitive techniques to facilitate achievement of rehabilitation goals. Behavioral techniques involve the use of specific short-term functional goals to achieve the long-term goal of return to activity. Cognitive techniques involve the relationship between thoughts and action, that is, if athletes are thinking negatively, they are less compliant to rehabilitation programs. Specific examples of both techniques are presented to the clinician that are proposed to increase rehabilitation goal attainment.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Previous short term toxicological studies of one to two weeks duration have demonstrated that MDL 19,660 (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-3Hl, 2,4-triazole-3-thione), an antidepressant drug, causes a dose-related thrombocytopenia in dogs. Platelet counts started to decline after two days of dosing with 30 mg/kg/day and continued to decrease to their lowest levels by 5-7 days. The loss in platelets was primarily of the small discoid subpopulation. In vitro studies have also indicated that MDL 19,660: does not spontaneously aggregate canine platelets and has moderate antiaggregating properties by inhibiting ADP-induced aggregation. The objectives of the present investigation of MDL 19,660 were to evaluate ultrastructurally long term effects on platelet internal architecture and changes in subpopulations of platelets and megakaryocytes.Nine male and nine female beagle dogs were divided equally into three groups and were administered orally 0, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day of MDL 19,660 for three months. Compared to a control platelet range of 353,000- 452,000/μl, a doserelated thrombocytopenia reached a maximum severity of an average of 135,000/μl for the 15 mg/kg/day dogs after two weeks and 81,000/μl for the 30 mg/kg/day dogs after one week.

Speed And Accuracy

Objectives School-age children with and without parent-reported listening difficulties (LiD) were compared on auditory processing, language, memory, and attention abilities. The objective was to extend what is known so far in the literature about children with LiD by using multiple measures and selective novel measures across the above areas. Design Twenty-six children who were reported by their parents as having LiD and 26 age-matched typically developing children completed clinical tests of auditory processing and multiple measures of language, attention, and memory. All children had normal-range pure-tone hearing thresholds bilaterally. Group differences were examined. Results In addition to significantly poorer speech-perception-in-noise scores, children with LiD had reduced speed and accuracy of word retrieval from long-term memory, poorer short-term memory, sentence recall, and inferencing ability. Statistically significant group differences were of moderate effect size; however, standard test scores of children with LiD were not clinically poor. No statistically significant group differences were observed in attention, working memory capacity, vocabulary, and nonverbal IQ. Conclusions Mild signal-to-noise ratio loss, as reflected by the group mean of children with LiD, supported the children's functional listening problems. In addition, children's relative weakness in select areas of language performance, short-term memory, and long-term memory lexical retrieval speed and accuracy added to previous research on evidence-based areas that need to be evaluated in children with LiD who almost always have heterogenous profiles. Importantly, the functional difficulties faced by children with LiD in relation to their test results indicated, to some extent, that commonly used assessments may not be adequately capturing the children's listening challenges.
