The Semantic Metamorphosis Of “Evangelization”: Formulating A Definition Of Evangelization Based On Action, Content, And Result, Moses Jarvis R. Catan

Landas

The 500th anniversary of Philippine Christianity offers gratitude for the Spanish missionaries who introduced the faith, yet highlights the urgent need to nurture this heritage toward works of love and justice. As Moses Jarvis R. Catan’s essay suggests, the effective inculcation of Gospel values remains incomplete after five centuries. Facing modern challenges like secularization and declining faith among youth, the Church must embark on a New Evangelization. This contemporary mission demands a proactive role for the laity, along with innovative approaches and creative tools, to ensure the Christian faith matures and actively transforms contemporary Philippine society.

A Bucket Half Empty: A Critique Of The Notion Of Sustainable Development As A Paradigm For Environmental Sustainability, Abundio R. Babor

Landas

Addressing the critical degradation of the global biosphere and ecosystems driven by relentless economic development, this paper offers a vital critique of modern ecological policies. While frameworks like those from the 1992 Earth Summit aimed to reconcile economic growth with environmental conservation and resource equity, Babor argues that these strategies remain fundamentally inadequate for protecting the planet's non- renewable assets. Ultimately, the paper contends that the unbridled exploitation of finite resources inherently undermines the earth's capacity for regeneration, challenging the long-term viability of current sustainable development paradigms.

I Landed A U.F.O. On Main Street: An Autoethnography Of The Founding Of An Arts Education Organization In Appalachian Kentucky, Elise L. Kieffer Phd

Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity

Abstract: The Appalachian region in the southern mid-west has long been the source of stereotyping for dramatic and political affect. Through the course of nine years as a resident in an Appalachian community in south-central Kentucky, the author experienced life as it is lived by the local people. Through the establishment of an art education organization, the author became entwined with local families and became familiar with the origins of many of those stereotypes. Using autoethnography to interpret her experiences, through the lens of academic research, the author will confront the primary issues that surfaced: the acute designation of outsider …

Cross-Mediterranean Egyptian Migrants: A Discursive Analysis, Sara Hussein

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates how the Egyptian migrant subject who chooses to cross the Mediterranean through irregular means to reach Europe is discursively constructed in Egyptian media, particularly in the wake of the 2016 Rashid boat sinking. In both official and public discourse, this highly visible and well-documented accident raised questions on accountability and the role of the state in this situation. By identifying and analyzing the themes represented throughout a diverse collected fieldwork corpus of various Egyptian media, statements by public officials and organizations, newspaper articles and editorials, television talk show programming, and popular cultural production, this thesis offers a …

Deep Learning Method For Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Images With Small Samples, Xiangbin Shi, Zhong Jian, Cuiwei Liu, Liu Fang, Deyuan Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of large information dimension and fewer labeled training samples of hyperspectral remote sensing images, this paper proposes a hyperspectral remote sensing image classification framework HSI-CNN, which reduces the number of model parameters while maintaining the depth of neural network. Image pattern invariance and spectral channel contribution rate are analyzed, and the spectral redundancy information is reduced by principal component analysis. A full convolution neural network structure suitable for small sample hyperspectral remote sensing images is designed and the amount of network parameters is effectively reduced. Three kinds of HSI-CNN structures are proposed …

The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study consisted 1200 respondents comprising (staff of the Zamfara State Agricultural Development Project, FADAMA III Project, IFAD, Animal rearers and Farmers). Instruments of data collection used for the study were the questionnaire, interview and discussions. One thousand two hundred questionnaires were distributed to respondents and only 988 (82.2%) were dully returned and found usable. The results of the responses were interpreted using simple percentage and frequency tables.

Elements Of Research Questions In Relation To Qualitative Inquiry, Jennifer Kross, Amanda Giust

The Qualitative Report

Research denotes the importance of quality research questions and their role in guiding methodology, data collection methods, and interpretation of results. Research questions, living at the base of methodology, play a key role in quality inquiry. This article addresses common themes of research questions in qualitative inquiry and the factors impacting question development. The importance of driving questions and the use of a question map are discussed as useful tools in developing probing, quality research that directs effective qualitative research.

The Christianization Of Judith: Considering The Hieronymian Translation Of Liber Iudith And Jerome’S Christianizing Agenda, Brody Van Roekel

The Hilltop Review

I will consider Jerome’s translation using gendered analysis while considering carefully how hints of his own preoccupations and Christianizing agendas can be found within. In Liber Iudith, Jerome gives a night’s work to a text illustrating the story of the Hebrew widow Judith single-handedly overcoming the seemingly unassailable Assyrians. Comparing Jerome’s translation to the earlier Septuagint text, a number of significant departures can be located. These departures demonstrate Jerome’s conception of proper Christian widowhood, related too to his qualms with femininity. The Hieronymian changes then appear to be both culturally-motivated and implemented in response to the demands of an …

African American English And Urban Literature: Creating Culturally Caring Classrooms, Erin E. Campbell, Joseph J. Nicol

#CritEdPol: Journal of Critical Education Policy Studies at Swarthmore College

Language and literacy are a means of delivering care through consideration of students’ home culture; however, a cultural mismatch between the predominantly white, female educator population and the diverse urban student population is reflected in language and literacy instruction. Urban curricula often fail to incorporate culturally relevant literature, in part due to a dearth of texts that reflect student experiences. Dialectal differences between African American English (AAE) and Mainstream American English (MAE) and a history of racism have attached a reformatory stigma to AAE and its speakers. The authors assert that language and literacy instruction that validates children’s lived experience …

The Consistent Ethic Of Life Of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin And The Crisis Of Our Common Home, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta

Landas

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines describes the ecological crisis as the "ultimate pro-life issues." Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis have all emphasized that environmental degradation and human life are inseparably linked, disproportionately affecting the vulnerable. This essay examines the crisis through Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’s "consistent ethic of life" (CEL), arguing that it must expand to incorporate ecological concerns. By bridging CEL with Pope Francis’s "integral ecology," the author surveys climate challenges and reframes the CEL to be more ecologically sensitive, ultimately offering actionable ways in which this expanded moral vision can help protect our common …

Cooperation Among Strangers With And Without A Monetary System, Maria Bigoni, Gabriele Camera, Marco Casari

ESI Working Papers

Human societies prosper when their members move beyond local exchange and cooperate with outsiders in the creation of wealth. Collaboration of this type presents formidable challenges because interaction is impersonal, reciprocity is unfeasible and trust cannot be easily established. Here we study this cooperation problem by modeling strategic interaction among strangers through an Intertemporal Exchange Game. The setup can be easily implemented in the laboratory to study a variety of cooperation-enhancing institutions. In particular, we study the role of a fiat monetary system by introducing intrinsically worthless tokens that can be offered in exchange for cooperation. The experiments show that …
