The teaching role of the Holy Spirit in British Pentecostal theological education

This thesis seeks to investigate how the views in Pentecostal theology on the role of the Holy Spirit as teacher, and the traditions in Pentecostal Theological Education, impact a classical Pentecostal Theological College in the UK. Having become incorporated into mainstream scholarship, Pentecostal Theological Education faces the challenge of promoting and maintaining the spirituality of its students. Pentecostal educators believe that the Spirit’s teaching is the key to realising the spirituality of students in Pentecostal higher education. However, this belief is stifled by the academic demands of higher education. With many suggestions on how Pentecostal spirituality can be promoted, it has not yet been explained how this spirituality is promoted in the teaching and learning environment in a classical Pentecostal Theological College in the UK. Having established that the story of the Spirit’s teaching role in a classical Pentecostal Theological College is yet to be told, Chapter Four of the thesis provides a critical Case Study on how the role of the Spirit as teacher and the traditions in Pentecostal education impact teaching and learning in a classical Pentecostal Theological College. Research data was collected through semi-structured interviews, lesson observations, and documents. The methodology and methods were based on a subjectivist paradigm and interpretivist perspective. The research data has shown that the concept of the Spirit’s role as a teacher exists. However, the data analysis shows that practice of the concept is yet to be implemented in the case study unit. This challenge calls for further research and creativity in educating Pentecostal theological students

The hump in the Cerenkov lateral distribution of gamma ray showers

The lateral distribution of atmospheric Cerenkov photons emitted by gamma ray showers of energy 100 GeV is calculated. The lateral distribution shows a characteristic hump at a distance of approx. 135 meter from the core. The hump is shown to be due to electrons of threshold energy 1 GeV, above which the mean scattering angle becomes smaller than the Cerenkov angle

Association of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Cardiovascular Disease and Subclinical Atherosclerosis

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to fatty infiltration of liver in the absence of significant alcohol intake, use of steatogenic medication, or hereditary disorders. It is a common cause of chronic liver disease with a worldwide estimated prevalence ranging from 6.3% to 33%. The NAFLD is considered a hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance and increased oxidative stress are central to pathogenesis of NAFLD, and risk factors include metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, and high fat diet. NAFLD is associated with higher mortality as compared to the general population with cardiovascular disease being the most common cause of death. The NAFLD is associated with a higher prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis as evidenced by odds of higher coronary artery calcification, higher average and maximum carotid intima-media thickness. It is also associated with stiff arteries as evidenced by higher cardio-ankle vascular index and higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. Increasing evidence has linked NAFLD with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The NAFLD is associated with a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), more severe CAD, poor coronary collateral development, and higher incidence of coronary events. The NAFLD is also associated with ischemic stroke. Studies have shown that the association between NAFLD and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases is independent of shared risk factors

Nearest Neighbor Search with Keywords in Spatial Databases

In real world, there are billions of rows in a spatial database. If someone want to search for a location or place, it searches all the rows and return the result. Practically there can be only few rows in the database which are of importance to use. As with many pioneering solutions, the IR2-tree has a few drawbacks that affect its efficiency. The most serious issue among all is that the number of false hits can be really very large when the object of final result is far away from the query point, or the result is empty. In such cases, the query algorithm would need to load the documents of many objects, causing expensive overhead as each loading necessitates a random access. So if search is performed only in the used data subspace, the execution time would be saved. We propose such system which can implement this efficiently with the help of R-tree and Nearest neighbor algorithm using inverted Index spatial R-Tree to solve this problem

This change has opened up remarkable chances to actually spread data and draw in different crowds. To completely get it and look at the effect of web-based entertainment crusades inside general wellbeing systems, this study embraces an extensive investigation. By explicitly zeroing in on crusades that use stages like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, the examination investigates different elements of content, including printed messages, visuals, and intelligent highlights. To acquire complete comprehension, both quantitative and subjective techniques are utilized to break down the substance. The examination means to recognize examples, patterns, and the general viability of various systems utilized in advancing wellbeing, ways of behaving, and bringing issues to light. The review digs into looking for proof-based rehearsals in these missions, as well as the usage of narration, visual illustrations, and client-produced content. By utilizing these strategies, general wellbeing efforts endeavor to actually convey their messages and interface with their objective audiences. This study assesses commitment measurements like likes, offers, and remarks to check crowd inclusion and investment levels. Bits of knowledge from this assessment are expected to outfit significant comprehension for enhancing approaching general wellbeing correspondence via virtual entertainment. Grasping prosperous mission credits can teach experts, policymakers, and wellbeing communicators about beneficially exploiting virtual entertainment stages to reach and resound with different populations, eventually working on the effect of computerized time general wellbeing messages

Thermoluminescence and Mechanoluminescence studies of (Cd0.95 Zn0.05)S: Ag doped phosphor

Through the execution of experimental investigation, mechanoluminescence of (Cd,Zn)S: Ag phosphor was studied which is synthesized by solid state reaction. In the observation, the peak value of ML depends on different concentration. It is seen that ML intensity increases with Ag ion concentration in (Cd, Zn)S phosphor. The peak value of TL depends on the different UV-irradiation time. It is seen that as UV-irradiation exposure increases the TL intensity also increases

Generation Y’s perceived preference for green hotels

Abstract:The global business environment and hospitality industry have followed the trend of showing a significant increase in environmentally friendly (EF) practices and facilities. Generation Y consumers are a socially conscious generation), who are known to think of the negative impact on the environment. Internationally, consumers have become more aware and action-orientated of the greening trend, as there is an increased market demand towards environmentally friendly business approaches. The objective of the study was to identify the perceived impact of environmentally friendly facilities and practices that Generation Y consumers have towards the greening trend within the hospitality industry. The research followed a quantitative survey research design, with a non-probability convenience sample of 100 personally administrated questionnaires that were completed, collected and analysed. The results indicated that Generation Y consumers have shown a shift towards requesting greening within hotels but not to the extent of international consumers. The findings agreed with international research in terms of respondents having a positive environmental awareness, showing that 83% were willing to stay in a green hotel. Respondents generally agreed to environmentally friendly facilities and practices within hotels. Generation Y consumers in South Africa have moved consciously towards demanding greening within the hospitality industry, which will have a positive impact on the hotel market. This trend is expected to grow to match international positive perceptions of greening within the hospitality industry. An increased effort by hotels to promote greening would increase awareness and improve the competitive advantage of these
