With ethical awareness, literacy abilities, and awareness as God's intelligent creatures, Christians in various dynamics of life must continue to show a human ethics and spirituality, especially in the context of Christian ethics and spirituality. The Christians are able to use the results of the development of science and technology in digital systems. Although, learning, supervision and self-control as God's people are things that are constantly attached to it. With the advance and increasing number of scientific and technological discoveries in various forms, Christians are challenged to publicize themselves and their discipleship calls in the context of digital technology with various media. Christianity and technology become important topics of study that can be included in the umbrella of the great scientific knowledge of theology and science which have been under-attention in certain denominations. Christianity and technology as an academic discourse in lecture classes will be very applicable in the broad life of students and the Christian community in the future, especially by including the ethics, literacy, and creation as sub-topics in it. This discussion has become very important in the age of technology so that understanding and behavior of how Christians should place themselves in the midst of new challenges in the real new age is now being managed with adulthood. ==== Dengan kesadaran beretika, kemampuan literasi, dan kesadaran sebagai makhluk ciptaan Tuhan yang cerdas maka umat Kristiani dalam berbagai dinamika hidup mesti tetap memperlihatkan sebuah etika dan spiritualitas manusia, terutama dalam konteks etika dan spiritualitas Kristiani. Umat Kristen terbilang mampu menggunakan hasil perkembangan sains dan teknologi dalam sistem digital. Meskipun pembelajaran, pengawasan dan penguasaan diri sebagai umat Tuhan merupakan hal-hal yang terus-menerus melekat di dalamnya. Majunya dan semakin banyaknya temuan sains dan teknologi dalam berbagai bentuk, membuat umat Kristiani ditantang untuk mempublikasikan diri dan panggilan pemuridannya dalam konteks berteknologi digital dengan berbagai media. Kristen dan teknologi penting menjadi satu pokok bahasan kajian yang bisa dimasukkan ke dalam payung keilmuan besar teologi dan sains yang selama kurang diperhatikan dalam denominasi tertentu. Kristen dan teknologi sebagai satu diskursus akademik di dalam kelas-kelas perkuliahan akan menjadi sangat aplikatif dalam kehidupan luas mahasiswa dan masyarakat Kristiani di kemudian hari apalagi dengan menyertakan sisi etika, literasi, dan ciptaan sebagai sub-sub bahasan di dalamnya. Pembahasan ini  menjadi amat penting di zaman teknologi agar pemahaman dan perilaku bagaimana seharusnya umat Kristiani menempatkan dirinya di tengah-tengah tantangan baru di zaman baru yang nyata sekarang ini menjadi terkelola dengan dewasa.

The human brain has the impressive capacity to adapt how it processes information to high-level goals. While it is known that these cognitive control skills are malleable and can be improved through training, the underlying plasticity mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we develop and evaluate a model of how people learn when to exert cognitive control, which controlled process to use, and how much effort to exert. We derive this model from a general theory according to which the function of cognitive control is to select and configure neural pathways so as to make optimal use of finite time and limited computational resources. The central idea of our Learned Value of Control model is that people use reinforcement learning to predict the value of candidate control signals of different types and intensities based on stimulus features. This model correctly predicts the learning and transfer effects underlying the adaptive control-demanding behavior observed in an experiment on visual attention and four experiments on interference control in Stroop and Flanker paradigms. Moreover, our model explained these findings significantly better than an associative learning model and a Win-Stay Lose-Shift model. Our findings elucidate how learning and experience might shape people’s ability and propensity to adaptively control their minds and behavior. We conclude by predicting under which circumstances these learning mechanisms might lead to self-control failure.

The paper presents results of a study on the relationship between the features of volitional regulation and academic performance in university students of different years and areas of training.The study compared students (year 1 to 4) of ‘Psychology’ (n=133) and ‘State and Municipal Administration’ (n=201) programmes.The following methods were used: the Action Control Scale by J.Kuhl; the questionnaire for revealing the expression of self-control in the emotional sphere, activity and behavior (developed by G.S.Nikiforov, V.K.Vasilyev and S.V.Virsov); the Dembo-Rubinstein self-esteem scale (modified by V.A.Ivannikov and E.V. Eidman, 1990); the Purpose in Life Test (by D.A.Leontiev).The arithmetic mean of all examination marks received by the student during the current academic year was used as an indicator of academic performance.It is shown that in junior students of the management programme the indicator of academic performance positively correlates with the indicators of the Action Control Scale (p <0.01), the Purpose in Life Test (p <0.01) and behavioral self-control (p <0.01), whereas in students of the psychology programme it positively correlates with indicators of the Purpose in Life Test (p <0.01) and social self-control (p <0.01).No significant correlations were found in senior students.The results obtained in the study allow us to draw some conclusions about the contribution of volitional regulation to the level of academic achievements in students.

This chapter discussed that the combination of entrepreneurship and technopreneurship is a crucial factor in the long-term sustainability of e-commerce and e-businesses. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 produced very rapidly, disruption, and exponential changes. The development of digital technology will change and displace traditional industries. Not only traditional industries but also various repetitive jobs such as cashiers, admins, or small and micro-manufacturing industry workers sooner or later will be replaced by machines or automation robots. Even professions and analytical work such as tax consultant, accountant, or translator will be carried out by digital systems that will process input data more quickly, accurately without human error, and precision according to principles. One of the professions that is believed to continue to develop and will continue to exist is technopreneurship that is primarily supported by the increasing number of forms of technology-based entrepreneurship, such GO-JEK.

Jesus' model for discipleship (John 15:1–16) is grounded within a context of human and divine relationships: abiding in Christ, fellowshipping with other disciples, and ministering to needs of others in the world and in the church. As the Christian community becomes increasingly reliant on digital technology and the Internet to provide an environment and resources for disciple-making we must also be familiar with the available options and understand the benefits and limitations of using these methods as we seek to establish and enhance these essential spiritual relationships.

Background Professional and amateur soccer players often perform dramatic on-field feats of celebration after scoring a goal. Injuries may occur during these activities. Purpose With the aim of preventing such “score-celebration injuries” in the future, the authors examine these events in professional soccer players and discuss potential avenues for prevention. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Over the course of 2 seasons (1996-1998), 152 soccer players were evaluated at an orthopaedic clinic for injuries incurred during matches. Nine players (6%) had injured themselves while celebrating after scoring goals in a match. The type of celebration, injury type, treatment, and mean duration of recovery were noted. Results Seven of the 9 patients were male professional soccer players with ages ranging between 17 and 29 years (mean age, 24 years). The injuries occurred when the playing ground was natural turf in 8 cases; most injuries occurred in the second half of the game. The types of celebration maneuvers were sliding (prone or supine) and sliding while kneeling in 5 cases, piling up on jubilant teammates in 3 cases, and being tackled while racing away in 1 case. Injuries included ankle, clavicle, and rib fractures; medial collateral ligament sprain; low back strain; hamstring and adductor muscle strain; quadriceps muscle sprain; and coccyx contusion. The mean duration for recovery was 6.2 weeks. Rival team players were usually not responsible for such trauma. Conclusion Exaggerated celebrations after making a goal, such as sliding, piling up, and tackling a teammate when racing away, can result in serious injury. In addition to general measures for preventing soccer injuries, coaches and team physicians should teach self-control and behavior modification to minimize the risk of such injuries. More restrictive rules, which penalize such behavior, may assist in the prevention of score-celebration injuries.

Theological Vision

The publication ofThe Politics of Jesusin 1972 established John Howard Voder as the most intellectually compelling, critical, and constructive Mennonite theologian of this generation. In that volume, Voder articulated an interpretive method and a substantive doctrinal position that affirmed his sectarian and ‘restoration’ theological vision but at the same time gained him a serious hearing in several corners of the North American Christian community. His recent tenure as President of the Society of Christian Ethics and appointment in the Department of Theology at Notre Dame University are only two examples of his standing among ecumenically-minded Christians.

AbstractSelf-control, involving processes such as delaying gratification, concentrating, planning, following instructions, and adapting emotions and behavior to situational requirements and social norms, may have a profound impact on children's adjustment. The importance of self-control suggests that parents are likely to modify their parenting based on children's ability for self-control. We study the effect of children's self-control, a trait partially molded by genetics, on their mothers' parenting, a process of evocative gene–environment correlation. Israeli 3.5-year-old twins (N = 320) participated in a lab session in which their mothers' parenting was observed. DNA was available from most children (N = 228). Mothers described children's self-control in a questionnaire. Boys were lower in self-control and received less positive parenting from their mothers, in comparison with girls. For boys, and not for girls, the serotonin transporter linked polymorphic region gene predicted mothers' levels of positive parenting, an effect mediated by boys' self-control. The implications of this evocative gene–environment correlation and the observed sex differences are discussed.

AbstractChristian ethics has always taken a complex view of the goods and purposes of human sexuality and its role in human relationships. Sexual desire and behavior have to be seen always within the overarching moral imperatives of love of God and love of neighbor. Such love entails self-giving and other-regard, and in longer-term relationships also some measure of commitment, fidelity, reciprocity or mutuality, truthfulness and generativity. Yet not all relationships with these characteristics do (or should) include sexual behavior. Nor do all sexual relationships include all these characteristics or virtues all the time. So we do better to base our moral evaluations of relationships on the exercise of these virtues than on more obvious criteria of sexual orientation or even status in the eyes of the church. At the same time, it is also possible for faithful and reasonable people to disagree faithfully and reasonably on sexual ethics, as on other things.

Delinquency represents a failure of socialization. It is suggested that de linquents' patterns of play may be used as the context for teaching youths to adapt to societal demands. The game situation may be viewed as social life in miniature, requiring conformity to given rules and self-control. At the same time, games are uniquely self-reinforcing. The game preferences and behavior of delinquents are seen to differ from those of nondelin quents and may be used as the focus of a planned program of treatment.
