Over a long period of time, among people interested in writing, there has been endless discussion of the “split infinitive.” Both those who castigate it and those who are disposed to accept it have generally missed the point. Whatever one may think of its importance in itself, it can furnish an interesting approach for examining the real principles of sentence-structure and the logical arrangement of words.

Some of the teachings of the Lord Jesus are in the form of a straightforward sentence and some are figurative. The use of the word "leaven" in the few sentences that the Lord Jesus says about vigilance is in the figurative sense. That is why it is necessary to find the word meaning according to the principles of exegesis.The exegetical method used involves establishing the text of the text to be extrapolated, ie Matthew 16: 6, analysis of sentence structure and composing of translations, analysis of the context of the use of yeast at the time, excavation of theological points based on the meaning of words and wording in sentences, and the application of exegesis to the contemporary context.The conclusion of this study is, Jesus uses the term yeast because yeast is something commonly used in society, so its symbolic meaning is easily drawn according to what is understood by society. Yeast depicts the doctrine, and there is a common characteristic of yeast and the characteristics of doctrine; the decay caused by a small amount of yeast does not appear to be the process but the real change, as well as quite a bit of unhealthy teaching that is allowed to contaminate, has the potential to ruin the entire character of a person. The doctrine to watch out for is the preoccupation with the more outward than the spiritual, including arrogance, hypocrisy, and worldly worldview.Keywords : leaven, yeast, doctrine, alert, Farisi, Saduki AbstrakAjaran Tuhan Yesus ada yang berbentuk kalimat lugas dan ada yang kiasan. Penggunaan kata “ragi” dalam beberapa kalimat yang disampaikan Tuhan Yesus tentang kewaspadaan adalah dalam makna kiasan. Itu sebabnya perlu dicari makna kata tersebut sesuai prinsip-prinsip eksegesis.Metode eksegesis yang digunakan meliputi penetapan teks Alkitab yang akan dieksegesis, yaitu Matius 16:6, analisis struktur kalimat dan menyusun terjemahan, analisis konteks penggunaan ragi pada masa itu, penggalian pokok-pokok teologis berdasarkan arti kata dan susunan kata dalam kalimat, dan penerapan eksegesis kepada konteks masa kini.Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah, Yesus menggunakan istilah ragi karena ragi adalah sesuatu yang umum digunakan dalam masyarakat, sehingga arti simboliknya dengan mudah ditarik berdasarkan apa yang dipahami oleh masyarakat. Ragi menggambarkan ajaran, dan ada kesamaan karakteristik ragi dan karakteristik ajaran; pembusukan yang disebabkan oleh sejumlah kecil ragi tidak nampak prosesnya namun nyata perubahannya, demikian pula cukup sedikit ajaran yang tidak sehat yang dibiarkan mengkontaminasi memiliki potensi untuk merusak seluruh karakter seseorang. Ajaran yang harus diwaspadai adalah pengutamaan terhadap hal-hal yang lahiriah lebih daripada yang rohani, termasuk di dalamnya keangkuhan, kemunafikan, dan pandangan duniawi.Kata kunci: ragi, khamir, ajaran, waspada, Farisi, Saduki.

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of time, its manifestations in the Samara historical environment. The reflection of different modes of time in the spatial environment is an important quality of the “real” city, it gives the place emotional depth, defines identity, forms the spiritual and cultural life of the inhabitants. The material analyzes the following time modes: irreversible change, infinity, eternity. It is revealed that the historical environment of Samara has the quality of multitemporality (the presence of several forms of time perception), formed over a long period of time.

AbstractThe phenomena of comet groups, i.e. sets of comets that exhibit similarity in their orbital elements, is investigated. A computer program based on the D-criterion of orbital similarity is used to search for comet pairs and groups. The reality of the groups is tested by making computer searches in random samples of comet orbits.The data base for the study is 599 long-period comet orbits. The degree of orbital similarity within a comet group was first assumed to be identical to that encountered in meteor streams. The computer search at this level produced five comet pairs plus two groups with four and seven members, respectively. The latter two represented the eleven known members of the Kreutz group of sun-grazing comets. A comparison with searches in random samples showed that the two Kreutz groups were significant. There is a probability of 0.2 that the five comet pairs found in the real sample could be accidental formations.In a second study the orbital similarity parameter Ds was varied and the number of comet groups found in the real and synthetic comet populations was compared at each level of Ds. Apart from the Kreutz group of comets, the number of groups detected in the real comet sample was for all levels of orbital similarity only slightly higher than the average found in the random samples. At the 2σ confidence level we conclude that comet groups exhibit similarity in their orbital elements, that is no greater than might be expected by chance.

The 51% attack is a technique which intends to fork a blockchain in order to conduct double-spending. Adversaries controlling more than half of the total hashing power of a network can perform this attack. In a similar way, n confirmation and selfish mining are two attack techniques that comprise a similar strategy to the 51% attack. Due to the immense attacking cost to perform the 51% attack, it was considered very unlikely for a long period. However, in recent times, the attack has befallen at a frequent pace, costing millions of dollars to various cryptocurrencies. The 51% attack strategy varies based upon the adopted consensus mechanism by a particular cryptocurrency, and it enables attackers to double-spend the same crypto-coin, restrict transactions, cancel blocks, and even have full control over the price of a cryptocurrency. A crypto-coin with a low hashing power is always jeopardized by the 51% attack due to the easily attainable hashing. In this paper, we analyze the real impact of the 51% attack, revealing serious weaknesses in consensus protocols that made this attack possible. We discuss the five most advanced protection techniques to prevent this attack and their main limitations. We conclude that in most cases, security techniques fail to provide real protection against the 51% attack because the weaknesses are inherited from the consensus protocols.

The ability to view constructions virtually before using the real resources to construct them has been of main interest in civil engineering over a long period of time. This has been achieved partially through virtual reality. Virtual Reality helps in visualizing the operations on computer generated jobsites and to study the available alternate plans. Even though the latest software in virtual reality helps us in designing and drawing the plans, the question of reality still arises. The plans that are done in computer sometimes do not match with the real practical applications. This shows that it is difficult to bring the experiences of practical world into the computer. In order to overcome the gap between the real and virtual environments, this paper highlights the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in all the areas of civil engineering instead of using Virtual Reality. This paper describes the developing augmented reality technology and its various application domains in civil engineering.

Apple is the most important fruit in Hungary, despite of that, it is a paradox that during the last years, apple growing was the most unsuccessful enterprise among the prosperous ones in the country. The real cause of regression was unequivocally the low price, which could be obtained and the inadequate structure of apple varieties. A heavy problem is still the overweight of the quality doomed to supplying the processing industry instead to the fresh consumption. In order to improve the conditions, we aimed the economic analysis of the five year long period, 2005-2009, to trace the changes involving values and costs of production, income and all conditions combined with this activity. The data presented in the paper are means of a heterogeneous population of values, which cannot be utilised for immediate use in management, but they may reveal the challenges and tendencies of that branch in economics.

This research is focused on the content of religious moderation in Walisongo Material in The Textbook of History and Culture of Islam Class VI Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ministry of Religious Affairs 2016. This research is motivated by the appeal of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia that madrasa educational institutions should cover the concept of religious moderation in the textbooks, in this case the History and Culture of Islam. The research method used is qualitative research. The type of this research is library research, more precisely the analysis of textbooks. The results of this study indicate that: (1) Each sub-lesson material of walisongo in the textbook contains indicators of religious moderation (national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, accommodative to local culture), except for Sunan Bonang sub-lessons which do not contain indicators of national commitment and Sunan Giri sub-lessons which do not contain indicators of tolerance. Indicators of religious moderation in Walisongo material can be known with two events. First, directly from the sentence that shows the indicator word itself. Second, the sentence structure of the material is in accordance with the indicator definition. (2) The excess content of religious moderation in walisongo material in the book is that there are indicators of religious moderation contained in the sentence directly and according to the definition of each indicator, and there are illustrations both in the form of pictures and writings, from the real form of religious moderation even though not all of them exist.

The study of clay fabric, including the spatial distribution, orientation, and particle to particle relationship of the solid particles (< 4 μm) in the sediments, is a subject which has evoked interest over a long period. However, due to the limitation of both coring devices and laboratory instruments, no in situ (“real”) clay fabric has been observed, especially for those deeply buried subsurface sediments in which the clay fabric may have changed due to release of overburden pressure. This paper presents a newly developed methodology to delineate the real in situ clay fabric microfeatures of undisturbed natural sediments obtained using a pressure core barrel.

This study looks at two figurative ways in which popular media and social media represent the publics response to the process of implementing Brexit. Specifically, it contrasts analogies, which construe the nature of Brexit in terms of the nature of the problems arising (e.g. the impossibility of taking the eggs out of the cake ), with tweets relying on simile to express emotional responses. The focus of this study is on the nature of simile, as the trope of choice in profiling emotional responses, and especially on narrativised similative constructions, such as Brexit is like X , where X as an extended narrative. These similes match the real story of Brexit, which lasted several years, with other narrative scenarios. Crucially, the scenarios created are focused on how the person feels about the story of Brexit (e.g. the long period of hesitation and indecisiveness) and not on political affiliations and arguments. In effect, Brexit is like X framing could be loosely paraphrased as Experiencing Brexit makes me feel similarly to experiencing a narrative such as X , where X is a made-up story, depicting unimportant social events or movie genres. The emotions targeted in the Brexit is like X examples (such as disappointment, boredom, feeling exasperated or bemused) are complex emotional reactions to a narrative failing to reach a satisfying resolution. From the perspective of figuration, Brexit is like X similes suggest the need to re-evaluate the nature of simile as a conceptual mapping and to consider the role fictive stories play in expression of emotions. Also, the complex syntactic forms used to represent the narrative structure of X provide the material for reconsidering simile as a construction.
