<p>Humans are unique creatures, have differences from one another. Whether it's differences in race, ethnicity, personality, hair color, etc. No human being in this world is exactly the same, each individual is different from one another. Individual differences are a gift from Allah SWT because these differences can produce extraordinary character and intelligence in each individual. In terms of learning and remembering, individuals also have different characteristics. Therefore, as an educator, teachers are expected to be able to understand and understand the understanding of each student in order to know how to distinguish each of these differences in a good direction. This article looks at individual differences in Learning and Remembering</p>

Are there natural followers in human communication, speakers who consistently converge more than others? Similarly, are there natural leaders, speakers with whom others converge more? Are such tendencies consistent across different linguistic characteristics? We use the Switchboard Corpus, a large collection of telephone conversations, to perform a large-scale study of convergence of speakers in multiple conversations with different interlocutors, across six linguistic characteristics. Having data from each speaker in several conversations makes it possible to investigate whether there are individual differences in likelihood to converge, among speakers (more or less likely to converge), and among interlocutors (more or less likely to elicit convergence). We only find evidence for individual differences by interlocutor, not by speaker; this shows that there are natural leaders, who elicit greater degrees of convergence than others, across different characteristics and different conversations. The absence of a similar finding for natural followers, speakers who converge more than others, suggests that the role of social aspects in mediating convergence is stronger than that of putative individual differences in propensity to converge, or that such propensities are characteristic-specific.

This research is motivated by phenomena that occur and are faced by children in orphanages, which is related to the problem of transition of residence, different characteristics and backgrounds of children, but requires them to be able to adapt themselves to the orphanage environment. Therefore social skills become a capital that must be possessed by children. The purpose of this study is to describe the parenting practices adopted by the orphanage caretaker in developing children's social skills, know how the implementation of parenting is applied, inhibiting factors, and the efforts made by the orphanage caretaker in developing children's social skills. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques are done by observation, deep interview, and documentation. The findings of the research revealed that: (1) The pattern of adoption is democratic parenting which is illustrated through the form of care provided. (2) Implementation of parenting that is applied is through several processes, namely adaptation carried out through an interpersonal approach, Goal attainment is done through the inculcation of social values, Integration is carried out through communication and coordination between parties, and Latency which is carried out through routine evaluation. (3) The inhibiting factors experienced are the limitations of caregivers, different backgrounds and characteristics of children, and environmental factors. (4) Efforts which made are the caretaker and caregivers to establish good coordination and communication, take a personal approach to each child, give advice, reprimand, punishment and motivation, establish coordination with the school, and conduct regular evaluations.

Previous research has investigated the relationship between personal factors and group creativity characteristics. On one side, they showed that individual differences play a role in group and team creativity. On the other side, they showed that group creativity activities have different characteristics, leading to numerous ways to assess effectiveness of creative activity. Nonetheless, no meta-analysis was performed on the relationship between the characteristics of the creative activity and individual differences. In this Registered Report, we conducted a meta-analysis (k = [XXX; number of studies/datasets]) on the relationship between personal factors and group creative activities characteristics (N = [XXXX]). We found [weak-to-no / weak / weak-to-medium / medium / medium-to-strong / strong] support for a [positive / negative] correlation between personal factors and creativity activities characteristics, r = X.XX, 95% CI [X.XX, X.XX]. We tested several moderators of the relationship, including [moderators]. Our analysis indicated that the relationship is [stronger / weaker] [moderators, e.g., in males than in females].

Human personality depicts an individual’s behavior and it is a formal object of psychology. Understanding human behavior is a vital and fundamental subject to understand human’s essence. The typology of behavioral concept is multifaceted and varied. In fact, various definitions of personality arrive at a single substance. This paper analyses Sigmund Freud’s concept on personality through the eye of Qur’an. The Qur’an made a personality concept as part of its focus. Through a comparative method, this study concludes that both Freud and the Qur’an argue that human personality consists of three components or potentials with different characteristics, yet integrated, to create human behavior and its personality. Freud calls them consecutively as Id, Ego and Superego; while the Quran calls them as Nafs, Akal and Kalbu. The difference between Freud and Quran on personality concept lies on the source where these three potentials came from. In Freud’s view, they came from the human being themselves internally or being influenced by their surroundings. Freud did not count God’s influence in his theory. According to Quran, however, the third potentials (Kalbu)depicts God’s values embedded in human being. Kalbu is called as a God’s disposition (tendency). Thus, Quranic concept on personality is theocentric while Freud’s is anthropocentric which is much dependent on rationality and morality of human being.

ResumoO advento da globalização, especificamente, no que se refere à esfera empresarial permitiu a adoção de importantes mudanças em se tratando da gestão administrativa das empresas. Tais mudanças se referem, principalmente, à forma como se encaram as pessoas que compõem as empresas. Acredita-se que sejam as pessoas a parte essencial de todas as empresas. Este artigo pretendeu discutir sobre a importância das pessoas, bem como de saber qual a forma de lidar com elas e como isto pode influenciar, positiva ou negativamente, nos resultados das empresas. Assim, observa-se que para gerir as pessoas não se deve ter apenas visão mecanicista ou mesmo metódica, é necessário que se discuta e compreenda as diferenças existentes entre técnicas obsoletas antigas e as modernas, que atuam conjuntamente com uma gestão eficaz. Precisa ser resgatado o papel que o ser humano representa dentro das organizações quanto a sua atuação nas atividades que executa como colaboradores dentro das empresas. Tal atitude, por parte das organizações, lhes permitirá ver que o capital humano poderá ser o seu grande diferencial em se tratando de competitividade. Diante do exposto, o artigo procurou baseado em diversas literaturas bibliográficas, apresentar uma análise da importância da gestão de pessoas para as organizações, bem como demonstrar o quanto elas possuem um reflexo positivo nos resultados finais das empresas. Afinal, quando uma gestão de pessoas é eficaz, aliada ao processo de gestão da inovação e conhecimento terá condição de garantir muitas vantagens competitivas, que podem ser difíceis ou mesmo impossíveis de serem copiadas pelas empresas concorrentes. Palavras-chave: Empresa. Gestão de Pessoas. Globalização. Resultado. AbstractThe advent of globalization, specifically concerning the business sphere, has allowed the adoption of important changes in the companies administrative management. These changes are mainly related to the way the people who make up the companies are viewed. It is believed that people are the essential part of all businesses. This article aimed to discuss the people’s importance as well as to know how to deal with them and how this can influence positively or negatively in companies' results. Thus, it should be noted that in order to manage people one should not only have a mechanistic or even methodical view, it is necessary to discuss and understand the differences between old and modern obsolete techniques that work together with effective management. The role needs to be rescued that the human being represents within the organizations as to their performance in the activities that perform as collaborators within the companies. Such an attitude on the part of the organizations will allow them to see that human capital can be their great differential when it comes to competitiveness. Considering the above, the article sought based on several bibliographical literatures, present an analysis of the importance of people management for organizations, as well as demonstrate how they have a positive reflection on the companies final results. After all, when people management is effective, allied to the managing innovation and knowledge process will be able to guarantee many competitive advantages that may be difficult or even impossible to be copied by competing companies. Keywords: Company. People management. Globalization. Result.

Over the past decades, the potential for the direct use of corpora known as data driven learning (DDL) has gained great prominence in English language classrooms. A substantial number of empirical studies demonstrated that DDL instruction positively affects students’ learning. As learning outcomes can be affected by individual differences, some researchers have investigated the efficiency of DDL in the light of learners’ different characteristics to determine the type of learners who were more responsive to DDL. The DDL literature has indicated the need for more research addressing for whom DDL best suits. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to examine whether or not learners’ predominant intelligences were significant predictors of DDL learning outcomes. The sample for this study included 30 female EFL Yemeni students at Sana’a University. The study used three primary instruments:  a multiple intelligence questionnaire, a posttest and a delayed test on the vocabulary that was taught using DDL. The result of the correlation analyses between the participants’ three identified predominant intelligences and their performances in the posttest and delayed test showed an insignificant relationship between the variables. The regression analyses results also revealed that the predominant intelligences insignificantly predicted the participants’ posttest and delayed test performances.  Based on these findings, learners’ needs and preferences should be activated and addressed by classroom instructions for creating a diverse and motivating learning environment.Keywords: corpora, DDL, individual differences, IQ, multiple intelligences

Often regarded as one of life’s few certainties, death is both instantly familiar to us and deeply mysterious. Every adult will have encountered death in some form, sometimes through the loss of a family member, sometimes less directly via friendships with others or the viewing of news items on television or the Internet. Yet, few take the time to examine death closely and to consider its significance in shaping human lives. Death is of interest both for what we know about it (in observing and living with others who die) and for what we do not know about it (“What will happen to me after I die?”). Death seems, on the face of it, to lend itself well to both philosophical and educational inquiry. For, if, as Socrates claimed, philosophy prepares us for death, this suggests an educational process (“How does it prepare us?”) that warrants careful investigation. It is, however, not just philosophy that prepares us for death but also death that prepares us for philosophy. Our understanding of death can exert a powerful but often unnoticed influence over our ontological and epistemological views, our ethical commitments, and our educational endeavors. Death can prompt us to ask: What does it mean to be a human being? What do we value and why? What and how should we seek to know? How should we live?

Japanese has different characteristics from other foreign languages including having kana letters, kanji and romaji. The kana letters include hiraganaand katakana. The katakanaletters are used to write loan word from foreign languages into Japanese. The names from outside Japan are also written using katakana. This study discusses about the writing of names of cities in Java island into Japanese katakanawhich contained in Japanese version of Google Maps. The aims of this study are to know how google.map.jp write the names of cities in Java island using Japanese katakanaand what pattern did they use to write those city’s names. The analysis conducted by using descriptive method. The results of this study revealed that in Japanese version of Google Map, there are 62 city names written in katakana, while the rest are written in romaji. There are eight patterns found in writing the name of the cities using katakana. Those are including writing katakanabased on Hepburnstyle using the KVKV pattern, adding vowels to each closed syllable sound, writing “r” for the sound of “l”, and syllable “ci” written as “chi (チ)” or “shi (シ)”.

We compared two floating-point-encoded evolutionary algorithms (EA) – differential evolution (DE) and the generalized generation gap (G3) – using a set of problems with different characteristics. G3 is reported to offer superior performance with unimodal functions, which are, however, often solved more efficiently using derivative-based optimization for example and it is interesting to know, how these algorithms perform in multimodal global optimization problems. Our results suggest that G3 converges fast but is prone to converge prematurely rather than finding the global optimum in high-dimensional multimodal problems. DE, in contrast, appears to handle multimodal problems better but cannot match convergence speed of G3 in unimodal problems.

Ergonomics is not a panacea. Ergonomics focuses first on fitting the job to the worker, then on fitting the worker into the job. The appropriate application of ergonomic principles, while keeping in mind the individual differences among workers, will lead to improvement in the health and safety of any occupational setting. Perhaps the real significance of ergonomic programs is best considered in light of the possible alternatives. These words from Weiner (1950), also cited by Christensen (1987), sum up the problem of taking a narrow, short term view of the workplace, and the consequences of failing to actively strive for improved ergonomic working conditions: It is a degradation to a human being to chain him to an oar and use him as a source of power; but it is an almost equal degradation to assign him purely repetitive tasks in a factory, which demand less than a millionth of his brainpower. But it is simpler to organize a factory or galley which uses individual human being for a trivial fraction of their worth than it is to provide a world in which they can grow to their full stature (Weiner, 1950).
