The real world of everyday life with its unfailing routines, repetitions and manifold habits may be seen as a matrix for the immanent expressions of what could holistically be called ‘The Void’, ‘The Real’ or simply ‘The all-embracing presence of immanence’. Thus, everyday life situations may tell us more than we normally assume about ourselves and the chimerical vision of an existing subject within the process of self-expression. But how can we investigate such situations in an appropriate manner, so that they show us by themselves somehow pre-reflexive patterns they incorporate? There is no unique method of how to investigate such situations; however, there should be a methodological form of performative settings beyond the stage which I would like to discuss.Following some of the ideas of Julian Klein and Arno Böhler on the significance of our feelings and on the limits of conceptual thinking I propose a specific form of philosophical performances, which is based on a grounding of emotions within thinking and on postponed deliberations within networking groups of individuals who are sharing a similar background of specific experiences in a given population.

Functions are an important component in the study of mathematics (NCTM 1989, 2000). Learning about the concept of functions can be a natural way for students to “mathematize” the real-world relationships that they observe. Everyday life abounds with opportunities for students to observe and describe dynamic relationships that can be classified as functions.

Waiting lines or queues are commonly occurred both in everyday life and in a variety of business and industrial situations. The various arrival rates, service rates and processing times of jobs/tasks usually assumed are exact. However, the real world is complex and the complexity is due to the uncertainty. The queuing theory by using vague environment is described in this paper. To illustrate, the approach analytical results for M/M/1/8 and M/M/s/8 systems are presented. It optimizes queuing models such that the arrival rate and service rate are vague numbers. This paper results a new approach for queuing models in the vague environment that it can be more effective than deterministic queuing models. A numerical example is illustrated to check the validity of the proposed method.

Critics of null hypothesis significance testing suggest that (a) its basic logic is invalid and (b) it addresses a question that is of no interest. In contrast to (a), I argue that the underlying logic of hypothesis testing is actually extremely straightforward and compelling. To substantiate that, I present examples showing that hypothesis testing logic is routinely used in everyday life. These same examples also refute (b) by showing circumstances in which the logic of hypothesis testing addresses a question of prime interest. Null hypothesis significance testing may sometimes be misunderstood or misapplied, but these problems should be addressed by improved education.

Though there is much to gain through technological development, it is also necessary to critique the ubiquitous presence of devices in social life and the overstimulation they bring. The increasing mediation of reality through applications such as Instagram could blur the division between the ‘real’ world of everyday life and a ‘hyperreality’ fostered by such applications. Using concepts from theorists Jean Baudrillard and Georg Simmel, this paper presents a critique of the overstimulation of information through social media. With continuous and repetitive material being recycled online, it is discussed how a blasé attitude is used to protect oneself from being informationally overwhelmed.

Philosophy of constructivism emphasize learning not just memorize, but to reconstruct or build new knowledge and skills through facts or propositions that they experience in their lives. effort in the lead learners in order to build the knowledge and skills of teachers are required to be competent in using a learning model. Model-Based Contextual Learning is a model that can connect students with the real world. Application of PAI learning today is still normative and adopt methodologies old model. PAI taught presents norms often without illustrations socio-cultural context, students do not live up to the values of religion in everyday life. This article seeks to describe the application of Model-Based Contextual Learning. Keywords: Application, Contextual Model-based learning.

In our everyday life, as we work or travel, we are always confronted with many kinds of borders: political ones when we travel to other countries, or cultural ones, when we meet people with different backgrounds or lifestyles. We generally take these borders as something natural or let alone as something sacrosanct. And although in the Western civilization, we are aware of the fact that we have big difficulties in accepting the other‘s point of view or her way of life, we rather reinforce the borders and isolate ourselves from influences alien for our traditional or so-called pristine world. How could people of different cultures, religions, or languages manage to live together in the most harmonic way possible? Music is one kind of art which inspires and unites people across borders, but so does imagination: The Aletic Republic as a fictional republic transcends a world from imagination into a tangible place full of persons, landscapes, stories, poetry, and moods.

Scarcely anything influences today’s young generation as intensely as global and digital developments. Confusing real places in everyday life and virtual places in online communities leads to an acting out of their hybrid identity in the context of globalisation. These new opportunities consequently create new, often ambivalent, forms of identity in adolescents. Thus the boundaries between the virtual and the real world coalesce, the two can no longer be separated. What significance does spirituality have for this generation? How can youth ministry react? This article aims to link the intersection of globalisation, digital networks and virtual reality with the spirituality of adolescents, and to find out what a contextualisation of a Christian youth ministry could look like in these intersections.

It is unlikely that Ballard et al.'s embodiment theory has general applicability to cognition because it is based on experiments that neglect the importance of meaning, purpose, and learning in cognitive tasks. Limitations of the theory are illustrated with examples from everyday life and the results of recent experiments using cognitive and visuomotor tasks.

One effort that can be done is to prepare the cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is more aimed at the effort to recognize, understand and manifest emotions in the right portion and the effort to manage emotions in order to be controlled so that can be utilized to solve various problems faced later. Through IQ people can face the real world, but the individual needs emotions in order to understand and confront himself and ultimately be able to face others, so important we build emotional intelligence of children for future preparation. By having an emotional intelligence someone will better understand and appreciate feelings on self and others and can apply it effectively in everyday life.
