The field of contextualisation is broad, with a vast diversity of definitions, models and methodologies. There are now many useful models of contextualisation from which to choose. But clearly, there is no one-size-fits-all solution – the diverse collection of options are not equally valid or useful or effective in all ministry contexts. How should one choose the best method for his or her ministry and context? This article argued that the ministry ‘context’ – the area, actors and activity of ministry – is the key determining factor for choosing the most effective contextualisation method for each ministry situation. The various contextualisation models and methods are based on the ministry context for which they are designed, as the constraints of each specific ministry context significantly influence the ideal contextualisation methodology. This article considered six distinct ministry contexts, each of which requires a different contextualisation methodology.Contribution: This article contributed to the discussion of contextualisation methodologies. While there are many settled theories and methods in this area, there remains considerable divergence and disagreement around various contextualisation concepts and practices. This article provides a useful pedagogical framework for organising the various methods in order to aid the academic discussion as well as the practical application of these methods.

✓ Herbert Olivecrona (1891–1980) singlehandedly founded Swedish neurosurgery. At the International Congress in Neurology in Bern in August, 1931, Harvey Cushing invited the cream of the world's medical society to a private banquet. Among the 28 specially invited guests was Herbert Olivecrona. At 40 years old, Olivecrona took his seat with pioneers such as Otfrid Foerster, Percival Bailey, Hugh Cairns, Geoffrey Jefferson, and Sir Charles Sherrington. This suggests that Cushing was impressed by the Swedish aristocrat's didactic deeds when he visited the Serafimer Hospital in Stockholm 2 years earlier. During the mid-1920's, the radiologist Erik Lysholm greatly improved the technique of ventriculography and, challenged by Olivecrona, his diagnostic neuroradiology became of superior quality. In the early 1930's, utilizing technical innovations of his own, Lysholm became a master at demonstrating and localizing posterior fossa tumors, which Olivecrona then operated on. Olivecrona's clinic became the mecca to which many scholars, thirsting for more knowledge, went on a pilgrimage. The international reputation of the clinic was founded, not on epoch-making discoveries, but by the resolute and practical application of methods already launched elsewhere and the exemplary organization that Olivecrona had established in collaboration with Lysholm. In spite of hardships and primitive working conditions, the clinic at the Serafimer Hospital gradually developed into the ideal prototype for a modern neurosurgical department. Olivecrona trained many colorful personalities who later were to lay the foundation for neurosurgery in their home countries; these included Wilhelm Tönnis of Germany, Edvard Busch of Denmark, and Aarno Snellman of Finland. Olivecrona was a true pioneer who made major contributions in practically all fields of conventional neurosurgery.

The article examines  the idea of meritocracy, now increasingly criticized. It is shown that the relevance of the discourse on meritocracy is due to the objectively increased role of education and various creative and technical talents in the context of rapid technological development. At the same time, critics rightly point out that meritocracy today has become largely a myth that plutocrats turn to justify their privileges, status and wealth. The very idea of a meritocracy that focuses exclusively on the technical competencies and abilities demanded by the neoliberal economy is also criticized. Many authors talk about the need to fairly reward and respect low-skilled workers, who often (especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic) bring more public benefit than highly educated financiers or bankers. Nevertheless, the article shows that this criticism is a hidden apology for meritocracy. In this case, critics justify deeper inequalities associated with long-term prospects and self-realization. It leads to cementing the “secondary” status of workers of the “hand” and “heart”, whose fate in the context of automation and the development of artificial intelligence technologies may turn out to be unenviable. In the author's opinion, the only alternative to this state of affairs is the rejection of meritocracy as a normative concept. It should be recognized as an inevitable evil associated with the imperfection of social institutions and, in part, human nature. Accordingly, the author contrasts the meritocratic pursuit of status and power with the ideal of universal striving for the maximum possible and, what is remarkable, all-round development and practical application of the talents of all without exception.

The death of William Gawthorne Unwin marks the end of a significant phase in the history of modern engineering. He was one of the last of that distinguished band of pioneers who by example and by teaching helped to bridge the gulf that had for ages existed between the study of abstract science and its practical application in engineering. His career covered the whole period during which engineering became gradually recognized as a branch of science. It is difficult now to realize that at the time when Unwin’s engineering studies began, informed opinion was inclined still to regard as “ vulgar and sordid ” the application of science to practical engineering. Such a state of affairs at so recent a date may well astonish us, although Rankine, in the celebrated introduction to his volume on Applied Mechanics, describes how wide was the gulf fixed between the ideal and the practical by the philosophers of ancient times.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we report a new approach to the problem of high rate formation of nanophase powders. In our experiments we were able to make aluminum oxide particles in the size range from 5 to 140 nm (peaking sharply at 35 nm) at a rate of 3 g/min. The starting material was a mixture of aluminum-tri-sec-butoxide and sec-butanol. An aerosol was made from this solution and subsequently burned in a special torch, described below. The resulting particles were spherical and no necked regions were observable between them. In a practical application, our technique allows a large production rate while still approaching the ideal of nano-scale monodispersed particles. The work was extended to the formation of zirconium oxide particles with quite similar results in the size distribution.

Abstract   This paper explores how parenting patterns in shaping children's character in the digital era with the perspective of the Qur'an. This is interesting because there is not much literature that discusses this theme in the view of the Qur'an. In today's digital era, almost everyone depends on gadgets, and children are no exception. This era is an era where there is a market for positive and negative things on social media. The spread of hoaxes, hate speech, and radicalism, for example, can be known through social media. This is a challenge that has the potential to affect the character of children who will become the nation's next generation, who should be given proper care so that good character is formed from an early age. Character building from an early age depends much on parenting patterns, because they are the first educators. In addition, the material given to children is also a determining factor in shaping children's character. Talking about parenting patterns in shaping children's character, it turns out that the Al-Qur'an has provided an overview in several letters, which tell how the ideal parenting patterns are carried out by parents towards their children.   Keywords: parenting patterns, character, digital era, Al-Qur'an.   Abstrak   Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana pola pengasuhan orang tua dalam pembentukan karakter anak di era digital perpsektif al-Qur`an. Ini menjadi menarik karena tidak banyak ditemukan literatur yang membahas tema tersebut dalam pandangan al-Qur`an. Di era digital sekarang ini, hampir setiap orang bergantung pada gadget, tidak terkecuali anak-anak. Era ini adalah era di mana terjadinya pasar hal-hal positif dan negatif di media sosial. Penyebaran hoax, ujaran kebencian, dan paham radikalisme misalnya, dapat diketahui melalui media sosial. Hal ini merupakan tantangan yang berpotensi mempengaruhi karakter anak-anak yang akan menjadi generasi penerus bangsa, yang seharusnya diberikan pengasuhan yang tepat agar terbentuk karakter yang baik sejak usia dini. Pembentukan karakter sejak usia dini sangat tergantung pada pola pengasuhan orang tua, karena merupakan pendidik pertama. Selain itu materi yang diberikan kepada anak juga menjadi faktor penentu dalam pembentukan karakter anak. Berbicara tentang pola pengasuhan orang tua dalam pembentukan karakter anak, ternyata al-Qur`an telah memberikan gambaran dalam beberapa surat, yang mengisahkan bagaimana pola pengasuhan ideal yang dilakukan orang tua terhadap anaknya.   Kata Kunci: Pola pengasuhan, Karakter, Era digital, al-Qur`an.

Science is experiencing a crisis of reproducibility, where many published experimental results fail to reproduce when repeated. This crisis can, among other interpretations, be taken as indicating some misconceptions about the nature of causation itself. Such assumptions have led us to underplay the significance of interference, preserving instead a commitment to same cause, same effect. A consequence has been a widening gap between the ideal and the real. The danger, if this gap continues to widen, is that science has less and less practical application. The crisis of reproducibility need not be taken as a failure of science in every case since it could also reflect the natural variety that can arise in a world of tendencies.

Students of American historiography value the latter part of the nineteenth century as a period in which distinctive ideas about the nature and procedures of historical research became explicit. More specifically, it was an era when the scholarly world was greatly influenced by the ideal of scientific objectivity and exactitude. Rapid advances in scientific theory and practical application in the post-war industrial boom set a standard for reliable knowledge in all fields. In that general enthusiasm for scientific precision several practicing historians tried to align their craft with the dominant criteria of their day in hopes of winning added respect and integrity for historical writing. The acceptance of that standard in the realm of historio-graphical theory produced significant repercussions in current ideas about church history, an area which until that time had been considered a separate field of inquiry. The decades between 1884 and 1896 mark a watershed in American thought, a transition from historical sensitivity at once patriotic and hagiographical to a discipline self-consciously, perhaps naively, tied to documentary evidence. But, beyond the popular rubric of faithfulness to the written record, there was a great debate over both the possible interpretations allowed by accumulated data and the final purpose of historical information. Such questions were especially relevant to church historians because they often answered the latter query before the former. The conflicting opinions, articulated by a fresh generation of European-trained scholars, broached questions about the historian's task that continue to be pertinent today. Contemporaneous problems besetting all historians came into open conflict in this earlier period, and serious dilemmas still confront us.

It is well known that all peoples, without exception, have for centuries formed their own ideas about the world, the cosmos, man, his otherworldly and other dimensions. Associated with factors of different vital values, they accumulate the energy of an ethno-national spirit, attest to the reflections of an individual, as well as the tribe, nation, nation over the ideal aspirations that are usually united around consecrated, close and native ethnic groups. On the other hand, being a subject of admiration and reflection, holiness and inspiration, sacred importance inevitably influences the formation of the culture and art of a particular ethnic group, its life and behavior, aptitude and character, and thus determine the originality of its thinking, worldview and experience. To put it another way, for centuries and still largely, despite the loss of the world of theocentricity as a determining factor in civilizational development, religious imperatives acted and acted as the axis of history, one of the fundamental principles with which humanity binds the past and now comprehends the future. "Every nation," Gustave LeBon notes in his work, "Psychology of Nations and Masses," has a mental structure as stable as its anatomical features, and it is from him that his feelings, his thoughts, his institutions, his beliefs and his art »

This article is described the hypothesis of the solution how to create the "ideal anesthesia". Theoretical justification of the innovative technique of the Receptor-focused Magnetic Resonance anesthesia is offered. It should be use the "ideal anesthetic" as which the electromagnetic model of a medicinal preparation for anesthesia acts. Stages of carrying out the offered type of anesthesia have offered. For the practical application of the proposed idea it would be implemented a number of innovations. First, it includes technologies of a magnetic and resonant tomography of high resolution (less than 100 microns). At the second, it would be technologies of creation electromagnetic models of the existing medical preparations. Than it would be on-line technologies of formation the 3D base of addresses of receptors for anesthesia of organism of a particular person. In addition, technologies of a triggering the cascade of biochemical reactions is proposed, by the modeling of pharmacodynamics electromagnetic models of a medicinal preparation. Such type of anesthesia will allow to avoid side effects of medical preparations at stages of an absorption, distribution, removal that are caused by the mass of drug and, in addition, respectively, to reach therapeutic effect only by means of electromagnetic model of a medicinal preparation for anesthesia.
