Biblical And Theological Principles For Ministry To The Deaf And Other Isolated Groups, Joseph Jacobson Jan 2024

Biblical And Theological Principles For Ministry To The Deaf And Other Isolated Groups, Joseph Jacobson

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

Deaf people are one of the largest unreached groups in the world (Lowenstein 2019, para. 2). To reach this group with the gospel, it is vital to build a solid biblical foundation for ministry to deaf individuals. The knowledge of God and the importance of faith, hope, and trust in God are often limited among deaf communities despite technological advancements (Broesterhuizen 2005:307). It is essential to show the different groups of deaf communities scattered around the world that Jesus loves them and that “the Bible is at heart a text that is positive for all marginalized people, whether poor, or …


The Healing Power Of Forgiveness, Susan Payne Jan 2024

The Healing Power Of Forgiveness, Susan Payne

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

“I can never forgive him!” Angry tears rolled down her face as she spat out the words. “He lied about me in court, turned my children against me, and refuses to protect them from physical and sexual abuse! How can I forget these terrible things and excuse his behavior?” I listened as she vented her anger and frustration. Then, after the emotion was spent, I asked if I could share what I have learned about forgiveness, what it is and what it isn’t. Eventually through many tears and prayers, this woman was set free from the bitterness of her situation. …


Is There A Future For The Missiological Study Of Worldview? Part 2, Paulo C. Oliveira Jan 2024

Is There A Future For The Missiological Study Of Worldview? Part 2, Paulo C. Oliveira

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

In Part 1 of this article, I revisited the foundational intellectual roots of the missiological worldview construct, described the concept, and presented an argument advocating for additional critical engagement in mission circles. In Part 2, the focus will be on probing the anthropological shift moving away from worldview studies, exploring some implications of this shift for missiology, and, finally, addressing—more directly—the question of the future of missiological worldview studies.

Spiritual And Theological Foundations For Ministry Among Secret Followers Of Christ, Shari Colins

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

This article provides a spiritual and theological foundation for mentoring and discipling young women who are secret followers of Christ in a restricted access country. The objective of this article is to encourage effective mentoring and discipling that can contribute to shaping an individual’s spiritual growth in Christ. By nurturing these relationships, I seek to establish a supportive community that empowers young women in their spiritual journeys.


Biblical And Theological Principles For A Chaplaincy Ministry, Shelby Davidson Jan 2024

Biblical And Theological Principles For A Chaplaincy Ministry, Shelby Davidson

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

The term chaplaincy does not directly appear in the Bible. However, the principles of chaplaincy are very much present in the Scriptures. Jesus, the greatest chaplain, was present in the Garden of Eden. Later, he incarnated as a human to this fallen world to be with humanity, to go through what human beings go through. A chaplain primarily is present with the people; therefore, a ministry of presence, empathy, giving wise counsel, and many other qualities describe what a chaplain is. This article looks at biblical and theological principles to guide a chaplaincy ministry from Scripture as well as from …


Mechanics And Dimensions Of Divine Forgiveness, Ransford Danson, Kenneth Appiah Kubi Jan 2024

Mechanics And Dimensions Of Divine Forgiveness, Ransford Danson, Kenneth Appiah Kubi

Journal of Adventist Mission Studies

Central to Christianity is the doctrine of forgiveness, yet no unified understanding or coherent concept of forgiveness exists in Christian discourse. Understandings of the process of forgiveness invariably depend on denominational traditions, beliefs, values, and practices (Worthington et al. 2019). A point of convergence is the view that forgiveness relates to the physical or psychological harm or wrongdoing inflicted by one person on another (Słowikowski 2020:56). There is also agreement that forgiveness is of different types: interpersonal, intrapersonal, and God-to-human (Fincham 2022; Maranges and Fincham 2024; Shah et al. 2024). The first two types constitute human (earthly) forgiveness, and the …

Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Pos Tagging For Filipino, Jimson Paulo Layacan, Isaiah Edri W. Flores, Katrina Bernice M. Tan, Ma. Regina Justina Estuar, Jann Railey E. Montalan, Marlene M. De Leon

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

Supervised learning approaches in NLP, exemplified by POS tagging, rely heavily on the presence of large amounts of annotated data. However, acquiring such data often requires significant amount of resources and incurs high costs. In this work, we explore zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning to address data scarcity issues in Filipino POS tagging, particularly focusing on optimizing source language selection. Our zero-shot approach demonstrates superior performance compared to previous studies, with top-performing fine-tuned PLMs achieving F1 scores as high as 79.10%. The analysis reveals moderate correlations between cross-lingual transfer performance and specific linguistic distances–featural, inventory, and syntactic–suggesting that source languages with …


Evaluation Of A Blockchain-Based Prescription System And Data Source For National Research And Development, Sean Chan, Aedin Clay, Lance Tan, Christian E. Pulmano Jan 2024

Evaluation Of A Blockchain-Based Prescription System And Data Source For National Research And Development, Sean Chan, Aedin Clay, Lance Tan, Christian E. Pulmano

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

In the Philippines, healthcare providers, government agencies, and research institutions use data from patient prescriptions to generate reports for health planning and decision-making. However, current e-prescription systems have vulnerabilities, including erroneous information, hacking attempts, a single point of failure, and medical fraud. In addition to affecting the quality of data reporting, these issues violate a patient's rights to data privacy. One promising solution is a blockchain-based prescription system. Blockchain's immutable ledger accurately traces medical fraud and erroneous information, while its decentralized nature reduces the impact of failures. Performance is an important consideration, as healthcare systems need to be scalable and …


Gender Differences In Achievement, Behavior, And Stem Interest Among Learners Using Minecraft, Maricel A. Esclamado, Ma. Mercedes T. Rodrigo Jan 2024

Gender Differences In Achievement, Behavior, And Stem Interest Among Learners Using Minecraft, Maricel A. Esclamado, Ma. Mercedes T. Rodrigo

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

In this paper, we analyze how male and female learners differ in their in-game behaviors, knowledge assessment outcomes, and STEM interest using the What-If Hypothetical Implementations using Minecraft (WHIMC). We also investigate how male and female learners’ self-reported levels of frustration and boredom relate to these outcomes. We examine in-game data, out-of-game assessment data, self-reported frustration and boredom, and results of the STEM interest questionnaire (SIQ) from 175 Grade 8 learners from a school in the Philippines. We found that male learners tend to explore more than female learners. Both genders learn more through more exploration, making more observations, and …


Narratological Considerations In Translating Maria Magsano’S Duksay Kapalaran, Benigno C. Montemayor Jr. Jan 2024

Narratological Considerations In Translating Maria Magsano’S Duksay Kapalaran, Benigno C. Montemayor Jr.

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

Translation requires a thorough understanding of the source text, so that it can be aptly conveyed into the target text regardless of the source and target languages. In view of translating Maria Magsano’s Pangasinan novel Duksay Kapalaran into English using foreignizing strategies, which privilege the culture, society, and history embedded in the source text over the cultural values attending the target language, the author first performs a careful reading of the novel. What is brought to the fore are the novel’s nuances and relevant attributes, specifically orality and didacticism, which Ma. Crisanta Nelmida asserts are the dominant features of the …

Predicting Graduate University Admission In Azerbaijan Using Multiple Regression, Günel Alasgarova Jan 2024

Predicting Graduate University Admission In Azerbaijan Using Multiple Regression, Günel Alasgarova

Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

Each year, Azerbaijani universities strive to attract the best candidates for graduate degrees within the academic hierarchy. Since 2005, one-third of undergraduates have been applying for master’s programs. The admission decisions primarily depend on the State Examination Center exam scores. This quantitative research mainly discusses the predictors of graduate university admission based on numerous factors using multiple linear regression. This study statistically measured four independent variables to predict university graduate admission scores in 2021 (GAS21). Significant differences were found between the average graduate admission scores of 2021 and those of 2020 (GAS20) and the percentage of students who scored >86%. …

Examining Public Responses To Transgressions Of Ceos On Youtube: Social And Semantic Network Analysis, Jin A. Choi, Sejung Park Jan 2024

Examining Public Responses To Transgressions Of Ceos On Youtube: Social And Semantic Network Analysis, Jin A. Choi, Sejung Park

College of Communication and Media Scholarship and Creative Works

In what was labeled the "nut rage" incident, the vice president of Korean Air, Hyun-Ah Cho (Heather Cho), demonstrated behavior that exemplifies corporate transgression and deviation from societal moral standards toward a flight attendant aboard a flight. Such behavior instigated the public to express negative sentiment on various social media platforms. This study investigates word-of-mouth network on YouTube in response to the crisis, patterns of co-commenting activities across selected YouTube videos, as well as public responses to the incident by employing social and semantic network analysis. A total of 512 YouTube videos featuring the crisis from December 8, 2014 through …

The second result was that while …


Characterization Of Size Effects In Additively Manufactured Grcop-42 And Their Influence On Mechanical Response, Gabriel Demeneghi Jan 2024

Characterization Of Size Effects In Additively Manufactured Grcop-42 And Their Influence On Mechanical Response, Gabriel Demeneghi

Dissertations

This study investigates size effects on microstructure, mechanical behavior, and fatigue performance of additively manufactured GRCop-42. Systematic analyses, encompassing changes on powder composition, wall thickness, and heat treatment, was conducted on specimens produced through laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser powder direct energy deposition (DED) techniques. L-PBF specimens exhibited a reduction in strength and elongation with decreasing thickness, attributed to increasing porosity as specimen’s thickness decreases. Conversely, in DED specimens, decreasing mechanical properties with thickness were associated to surface topography. Emphasizing the non-generalizability of size effects across AM methods. Size effects were also investigated on high cycle fatigue, as …
