AbstractThis article provides a theoretical discussion of the genre of commentary writing. Rather than examining the role of commentary in a specific religion, it attempts to articulate a set of useful questions to begin the process of rethinking what this genre is and, in the process, help create a theoretical vocabulary and conceptual framework for an analysis of commentary from the history of religions. The article is divided into three parts. The first broadens the traditional concept of a "canon", ostensibly the raw data upon which the commentary imposes a taxonomy. The second argues that the human condition, what Heidegger calls the way in which we are thrown into the world, demands that we interpret it. Finally, it is suggested that commentary is fundamentally about location or space, thereby providing the classificatory schema that is necessary for contextualizing both past and present. The main goal of this article is to problematize the current discussion of commentary in a theoretical way.

Synthesis Approach

Over the past decades, peer review of teaching has become commonplace at many universities around the world. Though research on the topic is expanding, much of the literature is composed of qualitative studies that offer relevant empirical findings but often have limited foundations in theory. Using a framework synthesis approach, we synthesize the empirical findings of 48 qualitative articles on peer review of teaching into a comprehensive conceptual framework drawing on sociocultural perspectives of learning. We propose the term “collegial faculty development” (CFD) to encompass all practices that support faculty in developing their teaching quality by drawing on the expertise of their colleagues. Our framework conceptualizes the main elements of CFD and shows how different contextual, individual, and relational factors shape the way CFD unfolds. Based on these theoretical considerations, we discuss issues of intersubjectivity, materiality, and temporality as potential avenues for further research.

Religion, which is one of fundamental element that affects and changes culture. One of the most important functions of religions is to unite their members around a common belief. People who share the same belief look at the world from the same window and think that they see the same things through that window.  It is stated that, thanks to religious belief, people are relieved significantly by means of emotional comfort and calmness, coping with death anxiety and seeking wisdom in their illnesses.  In order for nurses to know how the individual's religious beliefs will affect their care; they are expected the relationship between religion, culture and health. Westbeerg proposed an innovative nursing role for faith communities in the mid-1980s, and interest in this area has grown exponentially over the past 25 years.In this review, it is proposed to develop the field by creating a conceptual framework for the field of "Interreligious Nursing", which is based on religion integrated care.   Özet Din, kültürü etkileyen, değiştiren ona süreklilik kazandıran temel unsurlarından birisidir. Dinlerin en önemli işlevlerinden birisi mensuplarını ortak bir inanç etrafında birleştirmeleridir. Aynı inancı paylaşan insanlar dünyaya aynı pencereden bakar ve o pencereden aynı şeyleri gördüklerini düşünürler.  Dini inanç sayesinde insanların duygusal bir rahatlık ve sakinlik yaşadıkları, ölüm kaygısıyla başaçıktıkları ve hatta geçirdikleri hastalıklarda bir hikmet olduğunu düşünerek rahatladıkları belirtilmektedir. Hemşirelerin, bireyin dini inançlarının bakım sürecini nasıl etkileyeceğini bilmek için; din, kültür ve sağlık ilişkisini bilmeleri beklenmektedir.  Westbeerg'in 1980'lerin ortasında iman (inanç) toplulukları için yenilikçi bir hemşirelik rolü önermiş ve son 25 yılda bu alana ilgi katlanarak artmıştır. Bu derlemede dinin entegre adildiği bakımı esas alan “Dinlerarası hemşirelik” alanına yönelik kavramsal çatı oluşturularak, alanın geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.

It is true for the case of stock trading also. Successful traders always do a lot of research and analysis before buying and selling their stocks. This analysis usually includes looking at past record of a stock and finding patterns for future predictions. As machines are very good at processing huge amount of data and finding patterns from the data, we can see why the use of deep learning models can be beneficial in this case. In this paper, we are going to study various deep learning models used by researchers in the past to predict stock prices.

For at least the past several decades, Persian literary scholarship has drawnits conceptual framework largely from the social sciences. Despite severalnoteworthy exceptions, a tendency to read Persian literature for its sociopoliticalcontent still guides the way scholars write about and teach the fieldtoday. Indeed, a brief survey of course syllabi with “Persian literature” in theirtitles would no doubt reveal that instructors (the present writer included) byand large introduce writers and their works based on non-literary socio-historicaldevelopments, either arranging texts chronologically by their years ofproduction or presenting them (still usually chronologically) as reflections ofthe historical events, social movements, and ideological currents that shapedthe societies from which those texts arose.Mehdi Khorrami’s Literary Subterfuge and Contemporary Persian Fiction:Who Writes Iran? challenges this trend, arguing that we do a great disserviceto both individual texts and literary studies as a discipline when weconsider non-literary factors as the primary criteria by which to analyze andschematize literary works. Instead, while acknowledging the importance ofsocial, historical, and ideological contexts, in other words the world outsidethe text, Khorrami’s study of contemporary Persian fiction contends that wemust scrutinize the world inside the texts – their aesthetic, linguistic, and formaldevices and concepts – to develop a comprehensive view of literature’shistorical evolution.The work under review argues that modernist Persian fiction evolves froma counter-discursive to a non-discursive position vis-à-vis official discoursesin Iran, primarily under the Islamic Republic. The author’s conception of discursivityrelates directly to his understanding of the term modernist. The single ...

Based from the findings, TOPSIS model was able to assess the companies’ financial performance and consequently rank them.
