Entre Lettres Et Message – La Spécificité Des Écrits Pauliniens, Sœur Yara Matta Oct 2024

Entre Lettres Et Message – La Spécificité Des Écrits Pauliniens, Sœur Yara Matta

Horizons et Conjonctures

La spécificité des lettres de Paul dans l’Antiquité est décelée à partir de l’analyse d’une péricope de la deuxième épître aux Corinthiens. Ses écrits exercent d’abord une fonction de gouvernement à distance ; et maintiennent ainsi son autorité apostolique au-delà de la présence physique auprès de ceux qu’il avait évangélisés. D’autre part, son but est de continuer à édifier la communauté et à l’accompagner vers une plus grande croissance dans la foi, l’espérance et l’amour. Enfin, les lettres pauliniennes sont au service de la Parole vivante de l’Évangile et montrent un apôtre qui cherche à se conformer au Christ, son …


It Does Not Matter Who You Are, But It Does Matter How You Teach And What You Know, Areej Radhi Alruwaili Dr. Oct 2024

It Does Not Matter Who You Are, But It Does Matter How You Teach And What You Know, Areej Radhi Alruwaili Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

A growing number of studies have explored how students prefer Native English Speaker Teachers (NESTs) (e.g. Elyas & Alghofaili, 2019). On the other hand, research has also emerged to investigate the qualities that can help to develop an effective English teacher (e.g. Tatipang, Manuas, Wuntu, Rorintulus & Lengkoan, 2022). This paper tries to examine English teachers’ attitudes towards native-speakerism and teaching effectiveness, from the perspective of NESTs and Non-native English Speaker Teachers (NNESTs) working in Saudi Arabia. The findings reveal that an effective English teacher, as perceived by the teachers, is flexible, motivated, self-confident and builds rapport with students. Teacher …

Puerto Rico Imperatives To Enact Energy And Climate Justice, Ruth Santiago, Hilda Llorens, Catalina M. De Onis

Environmental Studies Faculty Publications

In the days and months following Hurricanes Irma’s and Maria’s landfall in Puerto Rico, photos and videos of the catastrophic impacts were broadcast throughout the world. These successive hurricanes in September 2017 tore down the electric grid, many of the wires, poles, and towers, and flooded substations. The almost total lack of electric service for 3.2 million people sent shockwaves throughout the archipelago as outside observers watched, horrified by the collapse of almost all other critical services dependent on electricity. Disrupted services included water supply and treatment, medical services, education, communications, and economic and business transactions. The decimated centralized transmission …

Can Large-Language Models Help Us Better Understand And Teach The Development Of Energy-Efficient Software?, Ryan Hasler, Konstantin Laufer, George K. Thiruvathukal, Huiyun Peng, Kyle Robinson, Kirsten Davis, Yung-Hisang Lu, James C. Davis

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Computing systems are consuming an increasing and unsustainable fraction of society's energy footprint, notably in data centers. Meanwhile, energy-efficient software engineering techniques are often absent from undergraduate curricula. We propose to develop a learning module for energy-efficient software, suitable for incorporation into an undergraduate software engineering class. There is one major problem with such an endeavor: undergraduate curricula have limited space for mastering energy-related systems programming aspects. To address this problem, we propose to leverage the domain expertise afforded by large language models (LLMs). In our preliminary studies, we observe that LLMs can generate energy-efficient variations of basic linear algebra …

La Désinformation Religieuse Sur Les Réseaux Sociaux : Un Fléau À Contenir, Roula Azar Douglas

Horizons et Conjonctures

Avec plus de 60 % de la population mondiale active sur les plateformes numériques, les réseaux sociaux constituent un terrain fertile pour la désinformation religieuse, incluant les fausses nouvelles ciblant des groupes religieux et la déformation de textes sacrés. La propagation rapide résulte de motivations politiques et économiques, de l’ignorance, du fanatisme religieux et des biais médiatiques. Les utilisateurs contribuent à cette diffusion en partageant du contenu sans vérification. Certaines personnes sont plus vulnérables en raison de l’absence d’esprit critique, du manque de temps et de la faible maîtrise numérique.
La lutte contre ce fléau requiert une approche multidimensionnelle : …

Nature Brings Happiness: Contact With Nature As Mediator Between Nature Relatedness And Well-Being Among Urban Communities In Indonesia, Bartolomeus Yofana Adiwena, Ratna Djuwita Oct 2024

Nature Brings Happiness: Contact With Nature As Mediator Between Nature Relatedness And Well-Being Among Urban Communities In Indonesia, Bartolomeus Yofana Adiwena, Ratna Djuwita

Psychological Research on Urban Society

Well-being is one of the most important elements and is known to be closely related to various aspects of human life, such as physiological health. Previous studies demonstrate that the natural environment positively contributes to well-being. However, most research on the natural environment and well-being mainly focuses on situational factors, such as contact with the natural environment, and ignores dispositional factors, such as nature relatedness. Thus, the current study aims to examine the role of nature relatedness (dispositional factor) and contact with nature (situational factor) in improving well-being among urban communities in Indonesia. This study uses a cross-sectional design and …

The Phase 3 randomized controlled trial, TBTC Study 31/ACTG A5349 (NCT02410772) demonstrated that a 4-month rifapentine-moxifloxacin regimen for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis was safe and effective. The primary efficacy outcome was 12-month tuberculosis disease free survival, while the primary safety outcome was the proportion of grade 3 or higher adverse events during the treatment period. We conducted an analysis of demographic, clinical, microbiologic, radiographic, and pharmacokinetic data and identified risk factors for unfavorable outcomes and adverse events. Among participants receiving the rifapentine-moxifloxacin regimen, low rifapentine exposure is the strongest driver of tuberculosis-related unfavorable outcomes (HR 0.65 for every 100 µg∙h/mL increase, …
