Bell Hooks’ Sisterhood Model: An Integration Of Religious Congregations And Women’S Advocacy In The Philippines, Ariane Shelley Q. Pepito

Social Sciences and Development Review

In the Philippines, Catholic religious sisters serve their communities as teachers, nurses, leaders, and companions, as a commitment to their chosen vocations. While their acts of service and charity is a sincere commitment to Gospel, their identities continue to be veiled and shaped by the enduring image of a Madonna: a symbol of womanhood inspired in the figure of Mary characterized by purity, chastity, obedience, and maternal devotion. This image, although revered, also places expectations on how sisters are seen and see themselves creating tension between ecclesial identity and public advocacy. This study explores how Filipino Catholic sisters reconcile traditional …

Participants shared their preferences …

Experience Is Not Enough: Allan Combs And The Developmental Conditions Of Integration, Maria Giovanna Vianello

Journal of Conscious Evolution

Allan Leslie Combs occupies a distinctive position in consciousness studies through his sustained attention to the relationship between experience, interpretation, and development. This article examines Combs’s enduring contribution by focusing on his insistence that extraordinary or altered states of consciousness are neither self-interpreting nor inherently developmental. Drawing primarily on Consciousness Explained Better and related works, the paper argues that Combs’s central insight lies in viewing interpretation as a function of one’s developmental stage rather than treating it as a reflective process applied after experience. This perspective is articulated most explicitly through the Wilber–Combs lattice, which correlates states of consciousness with …

Antara Solidaritas Dan Komodifikasi: Analisis Wacana Kritis Terhadap Narasi Thr Untuk Ojol Di Media Massa Online, Sheila Octaviana

Jurnal Manajemen dan Usahawan Indonesia

This article examines the discourse surrounding the distribution of religious holiday bonuses (THR) for online motorcycle taxi (ojol) drivers in Indonesian media using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The study reveals that the THR issue extends beyond legal and policy debates, becoming a contested site of meaning among platform companies, the state, media, and drivers. At the micro level, semantic strategies, such as the use of terms like “bonus,” “partner,” and “assistance”,obscure drivers’ legal employment status. At the meso level, corporations and the state dominate discourse production through mainstream media, while drivers’ voices are often marginalized. At the …

Detection And Correction Of Object Orientation On Production Lines Using Photodetector-Based Systems, Utkirjon Ubaydullayev, Elmira Raxmanova

Technical science and innovation

This article addresses the issue of errors occurring in high-speed production lines, particularly those caused by misalignment or incorrect positioning of manufactured objects. Although production lines have significantly enhanced industrial efficiency worldwide, they are not immune to mistakes, especially under rapid operation conditions. To mitigate these errors without human intervention, the proposed solution integrates photodetector sensor matrices with robotic manipulators. The system uses high-resolution photodetector arrays, such as the Hamamatsu S13774 CMOS Linear Image Sensor, to capture shadows of objects on the production line, converting these into numerical data. This data is then processed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and …

Technical science and innovation

The article presents generalized theoretical studies of the errors arising in the conversion of material moisture into informative parameters of the microwave field. Such informative parameters of a material include structural inhomogeneities, non-uniform moisture distribution throughout the volume and by the forms of moisture bonding, density, temperature, and mass. The influence of material inhomogeneities during moisture measurements in an enclosed volume on the errors of primary measuring transducers is investigated, along with the errors accompanying the conversion of moisture into the dielectric characteristics of the material and the conversion of dielectric characteristics into informative parameters of the microwave field. A …

Real-Time Likelihood Map Generation To Localize Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Transients, Jeremy Buhler, Marion Sudvarg

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

High-energy transient astrophysical phenomena, such as supernovae and binary neutron star mergers, benefit from a multi-wavelength investigation in which a space- or balloon-based omnidirectional telescope detects and localizes early high-energy emissions (such as a gamma-ray burst), then alerts a narrow-field follow-up instrument to observe the source. The high-energy telescope must provide a map that assigns to each sky location a likelihood that the source appears there. To issue prompt alerts despite limits on communication bandwidth and latency, it is desirable to compute this map aboard the high-energy telescope, but doing so requires rapid response while computing under stringent size, weight, …

Effect Of Real Quest Outdoor Learning On High School Students Climate Literacy, Siti Aisah, Abdul Hakim, Puardmi Damayanti

Jurnal Pendidikan Sains

This study investigates the influence of the Real Quest Outdoor Learning (ReQOL) model, which encompasses knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, on the climate literacy of high school students. A quasi-experimental design was performed with a non-equivalent control group; thus, a sample consisting of an experimental class (n = 34) and a control class (n = 32) was used. A one-way ANOVA test was used to test the differences between pretest and post-test scores at a 0.05 significance level. The basic knowledge on climate in the experimental group increased significantly (sig < 0.001), while the change in attitudes and behaviors was insignificant (sig = 0.339 and sig = 0.447, respectively). The fact that attitude and behavior did not improve significantly during the experiment can be justified by the existing Adiwiyata programme in schools. These findings indicate that the ReQOL model is a good way to help students understand climate issues better. Adding discovery-based outdoor learning to science classes has the potential to make students more aware of environmental issues and lay the groundwork for the development of responsible behavior. This underscores the scientific contribution and educational importance of the development of climate literacy within the curriculum.
