The Church

Main Street in Sarasota, Florida. A high-tech medical arts building rises from the east end, the county's historic three-story courthouse is two blocks to the west and sandwiched in between is the First Church of Christ, Scientist. A verse inscribed on the wall behind the pulpit of the church reads: “Divine Love Always Has Met and Always Will Meet Every Human Need.” This is the church where William and Christine Hermanson worshipped. It is just a few steps away from the courthouse where they were convicted of child abuse and third-degree murder for failing to provide conventional medical care for their seven-year-old daughter.This Article is about the intersection of “divine love” and “the best interests of the child.” It is about a pluralistic society where the dominant culture reveres medical science, but where a religious minority shuns and perhaps fears that same medical science. It is also about the struggle among different religious interests to define the legal rights of the citizenry.

A brief introduction to acronyms is given and motivation for extracting them in a digital library environment is discussed. A technique for extracting acronyms is given with an analysis of the results. The technique is found to have a low number of false negatives and a high number of false positives. Introduction Digital library research seeks to build tools to enable access of content, while making as few as possible assumptions about the content, since assumptions limit the range of applicability of the tools. Generally, the broader the assumptions the more widely applicable the tools. For example, keyword based indexing [5] is based on communications theory and applies to all natural human textual languages (allowances for differences in character sets and similar localisation issues not withstanding) . The algorithm described in this paper makes much stronger assumptions about the content. It assumes textual content that contains acronyms, an assumption which is known to hold for...

Salah satu indikasi ketertinggalan lembaga pendidikan tinggi islam swasta adalah minimnya pelayanan dan sarana prasarana yang memadai baik dari tata kelola administrasinya maupun dalam proses pembelajarannya. Situasi seperti ini jika dibiarkan akan memperburuk citra lembaga pendidikan tinggi itu sendiri dan lambat laun akan ditinggalkan. Adanya pemamfaatan teknologi pendidikan seperti pembuatan sistem informasi akademik, e-learning, digital library, e-mail, website dan pengadaan serta pemberdayaan sumber daya manusia yang menguasai teknologi bukan tidak mungkin lembaga pendidikan islam swasta menjadi lembaga pendidikan yang berkualitas dan berdaya saing.
