The subject of this research is defined by the following question: what allows a person to differentiate time phenomenon from all other; is inconsistency of materialistic world alone enough for encountering the time phenomenon; what are the sources of inseparable link between time with action and space; what is duration and how it differs from time; what is the substantiation for all properties assigned to time; what is the nature of qualities attributed to space? The author proposes an original approach towards solution of the problem of time: before speaking of one or another nature of time, it should be clearly realized which phenomenon is in question, what is the distinctive feature allowing its identification, and what are the form, way and conditions of its manifestation. The article determines an inseparable link of the time phenomenon with the function that people unconsciously assign in the course of their practical activity to sequence of occurrences, formed by the shift in current states of rotation of the Earth. Active role of brain of the subject in “organization” of time phenomenon is revealed alongside. The affiliation of the concept of time to the range of concept-statuses alongside general specificity of the objective concept of such concepts are determined. The conclusion is made that there was a time when time did not exist. The author provides definitions to the fundamental time concepts based on the revealed objective content of these concepts. The fact is stated on the emergence of a completely new concept of time that gives the key to unraveling all of its mysteries.

Abstract This paper will reflect on key findings from a Summer 2017 initiative entitled The Role of Culture and Land-Based Healing in Addressing and Ending Violence against Indigenous Women and Two-Spirited People. The Indigenist and decolonizing methodological approach of this work ensured that all research was grounded in experiential and reciprocal ways of learning. Two major findings guide the next phase of this research, complicating the premise that traditional economic activities are healing for Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people. First, the complexities of the mainstream labour force were raised numerous times. Traditional economies are pressured in ongoing ways through exploitative labour practices. Secondly, participants emphasized the importance of attending to the responsibility of nurturing, enriching, and sustaining the wellbeing of soil, water, and original seeds in the process of creating renewal gardens as a healing endeavour. In other words, we have an active role to play in healing the environment and not merely using the environment to heal ourselves. Gardening as research and embodied knowledge was stressed by extreme weather changes including hail in June, 2018, which meant that participants spent as much time talking about the healing of the earth and her systems as the healing of Indigenous women in a context of ongoing colonialism.

This article aims to raise awareness of the concept of pet within the context of multispecies families, where we will talk about the recognition of pets as family members, a new typology that has generated many controversies and has been the subject of study since many dimensions. However, this research will be analyzed from the perspectives of plurality and affectivity, due to the active role of the pet within the family that by having specific and distinctive functions generates affinity ties between its members. Accordingly, it is essential to conclude whether or not pets are part of the family, which can be determined by defining the terms of kinship and lineage; since this terminology has a different significance.

In learning expositional text, there is material to identify, compile, analyze, and produce. Producing as a final project of learning exposition text because in producing students are able to think critically and student are considered to have mastered the material about identifiying, compiling and analyzing. Producing in exposition text materian in the form of writing. The use of models, methods and techniques in learnin exposition text is very important to help students more easily understand the subject conveyed by the teacher. The use of experiential learning in the learning process is an effort to develop and build student’klowlegde through their experiences. Teacher-student involvement through an experiential learning models based on student intelligence to improve skills in producing exposition text is a models that involves the active role of student by writing down their own ideas based on the experiences of student who vary according to their reseptive intellegences so that each student in producing exposition text will be varied so that this learning models is expected to help student develop or improve wrting skill especially in producing text.   Keyword: exposition text, experiential learning, teacher-student involvement

This work is aimed at developing an intersubjective paradigm and an active role of the subject in reduction conceptualization. For this purpose, the general oracular scheme of conceptualization is concretized by the complementarity of composition and decomposition as explications of synthesis and analysis of entities. Pragmatically conditioned enrichment of this complementarity is carried out with the involvement of compositional programming and nominal models of data, functions, and compositions. The oracular scheme of reduction is considered, the meaning of which is that it, based on existing compositions, naturally implements the paradigm of “divide and conquer” in understanding the active role of the subject in conceptualization, supporting the real complementarity of decomposition and compositional methods of conceptualization. Representative examples of reduction conceptualization are shown, which substantiate the technology of solving programming problems.

This chapter concentrates on John’s uroscopic theories as presented in his On Urines. It starts by examining the structure of the work, showing John’s intention to systematize knowledge on the subject by dividing his treatise into four large thematic areas, i.e. introductory details, diagnosis, aetiology, and prognosis, thus presenting a general-to-specific approach in each section. The analysis then shifts to John’s theories on the various stages of human digestion, which had remained undisputed for centuries. It is shown that John is eager to present his own understanding, especially on the role of the liver. John’s own observations are also evident in his discussion of the different colours of urine thanks to the extra explanatory information he provides in this respect, especially on how to differentiate between various colours. The last section focuses on John’s urine vial, which although identified as an important feature of his original approach by earlier scholars, was never fully contextualized in light of a holistic reading of John’s work or of the development of other, non-Byzantine, medieval theories on the subject. Consequently, it is argued that John’s most original contribution is the introduction and detailed definition of eleven subdivisions in the urine vial compared to the three areas traditionally identified.

The reformulation of the subject as the gifted allows Jean-Luc Marion to incorporate saturated phenomena into his phenomenology but also introduces a serious problem to his project. Specifically, when confronted with the choice between absolute, unconditioned phenomena and the active role of the gifted, Marion chooses the unconditioned phenomena, and as a result, his project loses the ability to maintain meaning. In response to this issue, I advocate for a more active role for the gifted by turning to Iain Thomson’s recent work on Heidegger. I conclude by affirming the validity of a more active role for the gifted by turning to Heidegger’s early lectures on the phenomenology of religion. My aim will be to show that this more active role still allows the gifted to be affected by the phenomenon and can avoid the problems of objectivity and ontotheology, while better preserving the account of meaning.

In the study which has been the subject of the foregoing pages we have always considered the motion of the air to be regulated by a distribution of pressure balanced by the rotation of the earth, except in regard to the surface layer and one other suggested exception when the momentum of the general westerly circulation was invoked. It should here be noted that by this limitation to what may perhaps be called “great circle motion,” we are considering almost exclusively the circulation above that half of the earth's surface which is north of the northern tropic and south of the southern one.

Prophet as an actor first preaching in the life of Islam, with persistent and knows no despair, he delivered the message of Islam until his death. In connection with it as ukhairu ummah” then any Muslim either individually or in groups should inherit the position as the subject of preaching is not the object of propaganda let alone act as someone who does not do anything. Muslim communities must be at the core and is responsible for calling on people to take an active role of truth and prevent those things from falsehood, so that the goal can be achieved with the Islamic da’wah well and smoothly in accordance with what is expected. To carry out and deliver da'wah to its target objects, there are many methods or methods carried out by ulama, Da'i and da'wah practitioners, all of which rely on efforts to convey religious messages or Islamic values. In this regard, when the message of preaching will be delivered to the object, the thing that must be considered is the creation of a process of acceptance and understanding of da'wah messages in an atmosphere that is good and peaceful, does not lead to contra, divisive or even confusing understanding which results in no achieved the expected missionary purpose. On the one hand, the essence of da'wah in the socio-cultural system is to organize and provide direction for change. Changing the structure of society and culture from tyranny towards justice, ignorance towards progress / intelligence, poverty towards prosperity, all backwardness towards progress in order to improve the degree of humans and society towards the peak of humanity (tawa). The obligation to carry out Islamic da'wah, is certainly closely related to the commands of Allah SWT. In the A1-Qur'an, among the arguments that show the obligation of da'wah are listed in the which means the following: "And let there be among you a group of people who call upon virtue, send to those who speak and prevent from the poor, they are the lucky ones.

The Catholic University of Bolivia undertook an experience to develop profesional competencies in students of Operations research and to position the tools of this specialty to help improve the management of private companies. The paper presents the implementation of a new methodology (Project Based Learning) for teaching the subject of Operations Research to a group of students from different fields at a national context during a period of 5 years. Students must perform a project on  small companies in order to gain the competences related to the course of Operational Research. The paper analyzes the change of methods (from traditional ones based on the passive role of students to a participative model where student applies their knowledge to their daily activity)  teaching mathematics in Bolivia. The company representatives play an active role monitoring and assessing the implementation process. The evaluation of the students shows that the competency has been developed to the expected level and Operations research has now a place in the management of small companies.
