The Ethics and Characterisation of God, and the Rejection of Saul

In dialogue with the thought of Martha Nussbaum, divine emotions point to God’s cherished projects and are relevant for the ethical evaluation of divine violence. There is complexity in analysing ancient concepts broadly labelled ‘emotions’ that hold emotive, cognitive, and physical dimensions, including regret and favour. Divine regret suggests that the divine violence against Saul is not a repayment of Saul’s guilt but a repayment of God’s own prior action in making Saul king. Divine regret is an emotion/cognition that is not based on an attempt to determine good and evil but on divine attachments and values, the need to remove Saul, and God’s favour for his neighbour. God’s characterisation is also described through the phrase ‘according to [God’s] own heart,’ and divine presence indicated the divine spirits upon Saul and David.

Multimodal Assemblies for Prefacing a Dispreferred Response: A Cross-Linguistic Analysis

In this paper we examine how participants’ multimodal conduct maps onto one of the basic organizational principles of social interaction: preference organization – and how it does so in a similar manner across five different languages (Czech, French, Hebrew, Mandarin, and Romanian). Based on interactional data from these languages, we identify a recurrent multimodal practice that respondents deploy in turn-initial position in dispreferred responses to various first actions, such as information requests, assessments, proposals, and informing. The practice involves the verbal delivery of a turn-initial expression corresponding to English ‘I don’t know’ and its variants (‘dunno’) coupled with gaze aversion from the prior speaker. We show that through this ‘multimodal assembly’ respondents preface a dispreferred response within various sequence types, and we demonstrate the cross-linguistic robustness of this practice: Through the focal multimodal assembly, respondents retrospectively mark the prior action as problematic and prospectively alert co-participants to incipient resistance to the constraints set out or to the stance conveyed by that action. By evidencing how grammar and body interface in related ways across a diverse set of languages, the findings open a window onto cross-linguistic, cross-modal, and cross-cultural consistencies in human interactional conduct.

Simple action alters attention towards visual features

Recent studies have revealed anaction effect, in which a simple action towards a prime stimulus biases attention in a subsequent visual search in favor of objects that match the prime. However, to date the majority of research on the phenomenon has studied search elements that are exact matches to the prime, and that vary only on the dimension of color, making it unclear how general the phenomenon is. Here, across a series of experiments, we show that action can also prioritize objects that match the shape of the prime. Additionally, action can prioritize attention to objects that match only one of either the color or the shape of the prime, suggesting that action enhances individual visual features present in the acted-on objects. The pattern of results suggests that the effect may be stronger for color matches – prioritization for shape only occurred when attention was not drawn to the color of the prime, whereas prioritization for color occurred regardless. Taken together, the results reveal that a prior action can exert a strong influence on subsequent attention towards features of the acted-on object.

Meningkatkan Aktivitas Belajar Bahasa Indonesia Melalui Model Pembelajaran Pertemuan Kelas Pada Kelas V SDN 3 Pekanbaru

This study aims to describe the increase in studen learing activities on Indonesia language lessons through the application of learning models for class meetings in class V SDN 3 Pekanbaru. The study was mitivated by the low of students’ activities at Indonesian Language subject.

The formulation of study were whether the use class meeting Learning model increased learning activities of Indonesian language at the fifth Year students of state elementary school 3 Pekanbaru.The study was done into two cycles, the first cycle and the second cycle were done into one meeting. For the success of study the writer arranged the following stages namely: 1) the preparation of action, 2) the implementation of action, 3) observation, 4) reflection.The success of class meeting model was known on the improvement of students’ learning activities in Indonesia language subject prior action at the first cycle and at the second cycle. Students’ learnig activities at prior action was categorized “low” as the number of 59 was in the range 45-64 and the average was 58,9%. At the first cycle students’ learning activities was categorized “enough” as the score 66 was in the range 65-74 and the average was 66,1%. At the second cycle students’ learning activities was categorized “very good” because the number 89 was in the range of 85-100 and the average was 88.7%. this means that class meeting learning model improved students’ learning activities of Indonesia language at the fifth year students of state elementary school 3 Pekanbaru.

Penerapan Strategi Exchanging Viewpoint untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran Matematika di Kelas IV Sekolah Dasar Negeri 013 Desa TG.Berulak Kecamatan Kampar Kabupaten Kampar

The research was motivated by the low of student’s learning achievement, this could be seen on the following indicators, in daily test, among 29 students, 13 students or 44.8% could achieved KKM specified, 16 students or 55.2% could not achieve it. The objective of research was to find out student’s learning achievement of mathematic. The formulation of research was how the implementation of exchanging viewpoint strategy to improve students’ learning achievement of mathematic for the fourth year students of state elementary school 013 Tanjung Berulak sub-district of Kampar the district of Kampar. The research was classroom action research consisted of for stages namely preparation of action, implementation of action, observation and reflection.

The economic recovery seems to be taking hold. Inflation stood at 0.6 percent at end-July 2019. The fiscal consolidation was sustained through the first half of 2019; the overall fiscal deficit is estimated at 0.2 percent of GDP at end-June 2019. Reforms are progressing on revenue and customs administration as well as public expenditure management. While the authorities are committed to privatize the two public banks, the tenders for both banks were launched with a delay in September 2019 (prior action). Socio-political tensions have abated but uncertainty remains high, particularly considering the presidential election scheduled for 2020.

Statistical Analysis of the Relationship Between Social Capital and Evacuation: The Case of the 2017 Mt. Agung Eruption

This study aimed to examine actual situations and problems involving evacuation activity during the Mt. Agung eruption in the autumn and winter of 2017. It also clarified (from the viewpoints of administrative information, individuals, families, local residence organizations, and simple notification services) the factors that promoted evacuation based on an examination of data from evacuees and supporters as provided by administrative agencies, questionnaires, and surveys. There were two main results. The first involved the relationship between alert recognition and recognition of the call for evacuation. When people received the volcanic eruption alert from real media sources, they also recognized the call for evacuation from other people or parties within those sources. When people received the alert through virtual media, they also recognized the call for evacuation from the same media. The information recognition path available through real media was narrower than that involving virtual media. Second, only the factor of “alert recognition” realized “group evacuation.” Factors such as “prior action” and “recognition of eruption in 1963” were not directly related to “group evacuation.”
