General Goal

The HeartMath Institute originated in 1991 through Doc Childre’s vision of promoting heart intelligence and health. The HeartMath system is an interdisciplinary undertaking, which bridges natural, human, social, spiritual, and ecological sciences, with the goal of promoting personal, social, and global coherence. The general goal of this paper is to introduce HeartMath as a coherent scientific approach to dialogue theological information, as well as a specific meditation method to explore theological phenomena. The particular aim is to contribute a theoretical and practically orientated pilot study with heuristic phenomenological reflection on personal experience of HeartMath theory, practice, meditation, related action, and reports in the form of scientific articles. This study is directly relevant to the DIALOGO conference theme of dialogue between science and theology. Methodology concerns the theoretical and practical value of HeartMath meditation methods as described with examples from HeartMath Global Coherence (GC) and Inner Balance (IB) apps. There are five GC reflective meditations on the theme of science and theology, complemented by five IB purely contemplative meditations. The reflective and discursive focus of the paper is on the monitoring of meditation sessions related to science and theology. The specific focus is on HeartMath techniques, electronic devices, and the planetary health potential of the Global Coherence Initiative.

Abstract For nearly 20 years, gerontology and geriatric administrators and faculty have been challenged by managing “tough times” related to low enrollment and reduced or limited funding for their programs. At the same time, the aging population continues to increase and the need for highly trained individuals to work with and on behalf of older adults are needed in all sectors of the workforce. In this paper, I will build on previous empirical and theoretical work from AGHE and GSA Fellows as I integrate personal experience from my fifteen years at a land-grant university, whereby I serve as the coordinator of our undergraduate gerontology minor. In particular, in an effort to uplift the 2019 conference theme, I will organize my thoughts from the lens of university-community engagement, as I describe how to best harness networks to support and leverage gerontology and geriatrics programs.

The article is devoted to the problem of training a future employee of the penal system, which is able to build relationships with surrounding people, including people who have transgressed the law and who serve punishment on humanistic grounds. The urgency of humanistic interaction in the conditions of the criminal executive system is argued from the position of the idea: a person by nature - i.e. initially, essentially - good. The author proposes a definition of a humanistic interaction between a cadet and a future employee of the criminal executive system with a person as a special type of relationship that fixes the understanding of the values and actions of another person; actualizing moral, humanistic values; reflecting the content of their own actions and actions in relation to the other; reflecting the perception of the spiritual world of another person. The textual-dialogical approach in education is presented as a learning strategy, as an educational technology, as a scientific approach. The content of the textual-dialogical approach to the development of cadets-future employees of the penal-executive system ability for humanistic interaction with a person is revealed through the content of the concepts text and dialogue. It is justified that the texts presented to cadets while developing their ability should, firstly, contain such knowledge, which, speaking in the meaning of humanistic values, allows students to interact with other people on the basis of these values; secondly, to meet the criteria of significance, accessibility and credibility. It is shown that, in the context of dialogues, cadets acquire personal experience of humanistic interaction with other people, which allows them to choose a humanistic oriented sense of dialogical interaction with another, find ways of interaction with another person that are adequate for this situation, and reflect their attitude to another.

Comprehensive History

Of all military campaigns throughout the course of history, Waterloo is surely the most studied. After an initial period during which the protagonists, and Napoleon in particular, made strenuous efforts to defend their conduct, a more scientific approach to the events emerged between 1871 and 1918, although it was hampered by a context of rising nationalism. After something of a lull resulting from the World Wars, new studies appeared, marked by attempts to balance out the differing national viewpoints, to re-evaluate the traditional narratives, and above all by a new approach to the realities of the battle based on accounts of personal experience. Cultural historians subsequently introduced new themes, amid a desire to return to first-hand sources. All this has the potential to give rise to a comprehensive history of the campaign, integrating archives from all camps. For currently, despite the plethora of published material on Waterloo, no such definitive study exists.

Abstract: Life skills are defined as psychosocial abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with demands and challenges of everyday life. Life skills are problem solving behavior used appropriately and responsibly in management of personal affairs. Life skills may be learn by teaching or simply by personal experience. Actually no life skills is used alone, there’s always a combination of more than more. Scientific approach is empirical knowledge. This approach can be considered as a way to think critically and systematically. The scientific method is rooted in the knowledge gained by finding problems through observation, experimentation, and through a process of objective reasoning and logic. Scientific approach strongly supports the active role of students in learning so that students can be learn life skills such as finding out, gather information, ask questions, and the establishment of confidence students through class discussions.Keywords: Life Skills, Pendekatan Scientific

In today’s society, electronic devicesrepresent an important part of the cultural fabric, especiallyfor the younger generation. Professors and lecturersteaching at post-secondary levels express concern whenstudents appear to be more interested in electronic devicesthan the content being presented in the classroom. Thesedevices permit the student to locate small snippets of dataand information leaving them largely incapable ofintegrating this data into comprehensive concepts. Anotherdrawback of using modern electronic devices in theclassroom relates to their misuse during examinations. Theargument from an educator’s perspective is: suppressionversus celebration, as electronic devices assume aubiquitous place and role in the classroom. Unable toeffectively compete with the apparent entertainment valueof iPods, iPads, cell phones and laptops, educators andpolicy makers enact a range of measures designed toenforce student engagement during class time. Institutionalresponses to the use of electronic devices include: policylanguage enshrined in course outlines, bans on suchdevices and confiscation of offending devices. Conversely,given that every conceivable subject is available via theinternet, these electronic tools are effective in ‘bringing theworld into the classroom’. This paper explores and presentsactionable strategies that educators can employ to leveragethe power of electronic devices in stimulating students’participation during classroom delivery. Based onliterature search, personal experience and field interviews,suggested best practices are advanced for the enhancementof the learning environment (both lecture and lab) in thepursuit of improved learning outcomes. The paper will alsopresent the limitations and drawbacks in the use of thesedevices.

Chemically Selective

The first few atomic layers of a solid can form a barrier between its interior and an often hostile environment. Although adsorption at the vacuum-solid interface has been studied in great detail, little is known about adsorption at the liquid-solid interface. Adsorption at a liquid-solid interface is of intrinsic interest, and is of technological importance because it provides a way to coat a surface with monolayer or multilayer structures. A pinhole free monolayer (with a reasonable dielectric constant) could lead to the development of nanoscale capacitors with unique characteristics and lithographic resists that surpass the resolution of their conventional counterparts. Chemically selective adsorption is of particular interest because it can be used to passivate a surface from external modification or change the wear and the lubrication properties of a surface to reflect new and useful properties. Immunochemical adsorption could be used to fabricate novel molecular electronic devices or to construct small, “smart”, unobtrusive sensors with the potential to detect a wide variety of preselected species at the molecular level. These might include a particular carcinogen in the environment, a specific type of explosive, a chemical agent, a virus, or even a tumor in the human body.

High Arsenic

Grown-in dislocations in GaAs have been a major obstacle in utilizing this material for the potential electronic devices. Although it has been proposed in many reports that supersaturation of point defects can generate dislocation loops in growing crystals and can be a main formation mechanism of grown-in dislocations, there are very few reports on either the observation or the structural analysis of the stoichiometry-generated loops. In this work, dislocation loops in an arsenic-rich GaAs crystal have been studied by transmission electron microscopy.The single crystal with high arsenic concentration was grown using the Horizontal Bridgman method. The arsenic source temperature during the crystal growth was about 630°C whereas 617±1°C is normally believed to be optimum one to grow a stoichiometric compound. Samples with various orientations were prepared either by chemical thinning or ion milling and examined in both a JEOL JEM 200CX and a Siemens Elmiskop 102.

The general goal of this research is to clarify mechanisms of solid state reactions at the atomic level as a step in the rationalization of macroscopic reaction behavior in solids. A study of intermetallic alloy formation resulting from interdiffusion of metals in thin films can be made by HREM. In this work, reactions between Pt and Sn in thin films are studied to elucidate mechanisms for structural and compositional changes during the interdiffusion process.Thin films of Pt and Sn used in this study were prepared by the two-film method introduced by Shiojiri. Few hundred angstroms of Pt were vacuum-deposited onto holey carbon films mounted on TEM grids. Sn films with an average thickness of 200Å were created by evaporation at rates of 15-30 Å/sec onto air-cleaved KBr substrates. The Sn films were wet-stripped and collected on the holey Pt grids. Figure 1 shows a cross-section schematic of a Pt-Sn couple. While this two-film arrangement did not allow observations of the actual reaction interface, microtomy was used to produce cross-sections.

Resource Program

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.
