Jesus, the Prophet, the Messiah, and the Host: an Interpretation of Luke 24:13-35

The story of Jesus' encounter with two disciples on the journey to Emmaus is a unique story, among which is the story contains the question: what really made two disciples not recognize Jesus?, and why after inviting Jesus to their home, the identity of Jesus was recognized. Many solutions have been offered to answer these complicated problems, but it seems that the answers proffered are less than convincing. According to the author, the Emmaus story must be seen from the entire book of Luke and Acts because in this episode there are important themes scattered throughout Luke's two writings. The two disciples are representatives of Jews who cannot understand that the Messiah must suffer, be crucified, and be resurrected. What made them recognize Jesus again was when Jesus entertained them to eat? It was because it reminded them of a similar event before Jesus' death and at the same time referred to the role of Yahweh as the host of His OT people and the hope of an eschatological meal. In the end, the theme of this dining table fellowship became important in the Acts of the Apostles in relation to Jewish and Gentile relations within the early church. Keywords: Emmaus, Motif of Ignorance, Table Fellowship, Rejected Messiah Cerita perjumpaan Yesus dengan dua murid dalam perjalanan ke Emaus merupakan kisah yang unik, di antaranya adalah kisah ini mengandung pertanyaan: apa yang sesungguhnya membuat dua murid tidak mengenali Yesus dan mengapa setelah mengundang Yesus ke rumah mereka, identitas Yesus tersingkapkan. Banyak solusi telah coba untuk ditawarkan untuk menjawab persoalan pelik ini, namun sepertinya jawaban-jawaban itu kurang meyakinkan. Menurut penulis, kisah Emaus harus dilihat dari keseluruhan kitab Lukas dan Kisah Para Rasul karena di dalam episode ini termaktub tema-tema penting yang tersebar di sepanjang dua tulisan Lukas itu. Dua murid merupakan perwakilan orang Yahudi yang tidak dapat memahami bahwa Mesias harus menderita, disalibkan, dan dibangkitkan. Yang membuat mereka mengenal kembali Yesus adalah ketika Yesus menjamu mereka makan, karena itu mengingatkan peristiwa yang serupa sebelum kematian Yesus sekaligus merujuk pada peran Yahweh sebagai penjamu umat-Nya dalam PL dan harapan akan jamuan eskatologis. Pada akhirnya, tema persekutuan meja makan ini menjadi penting dalam Kisah Para Rasul dalam kaitan dengan relasi Yahudi dan non Yahudi dalam gereja mula-mula.

Study of the Temperature Behavior in the Flow of Combustion Gases of a Gasoline Engine in its Exhaust System Using the PTEC-593 Driving Cycle

This study aims to analyze the temperature behavior along the exhaust system based on the PTEC-593 conduction cycle using thermocouples. A bibliographic review has been carried out to understand the temperature distribution throughout the system; therefore, four points were chosen for the study the exhaust manifold, before the catalyst, then the catalyst, and the end of the exhaust pipe. Thus, the vehicle exhaust system is coupled with type K thermocouples and modified to include a three-way catalyst and a new system with SAE J403 1008 steel pipe of 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The tests during the driving cycle were carried out in the city of Latacunga at an altitude of 2800 meters and an average temperature of 12∘C. Other tests involved idling at different times of the day, and the last one was on the route of ”the chasqui,” so the vehicle is in several possible scenarios. As a result, the exhaust manifold temperature was higher than 417∘C, the initial system temperature after the catalyst was 310∘C, the exhaust pipe end temperature was lower than 160∘C, and the idling temperature did not exceed 230∘C. It was concluded that the best place to place a TEG is after the catalyst because at this time we do not affect the wrong readings of the lambda probe, which would lead to fuel consumption and high emissions of polluting gases. Keywords: thermal energy, exhaust temperatura, exhaust manifolds, catalysts, driving cycle, energy efficiency. Resumen El propósito de este estudio es analizar el comportamiento de la temperatura a lo largo del sistema de escape basado en el ciclo de conducción PTEC-593 utilizando termocuplas. Para ello se ha realizado una revisión bibliografíca donde se puede entender la distribución de temperatura a lo largo del sistema, por tanto se escogieron 4 puntos para el estudio: el colector de escape, antes del catalizador, después el catalizador y el final del tubo de escape. Así, al sistema de escape del vehículo se acoplo termocuplas tipo K, y se modificado para incluir un catalizador de tres vías y un nuevo sistema con tubería de acero SAE J403 1008 de 2 1/2 pulgadas de diámetro. Las pruebas durante el ciclo de conducción se realizaron en la ciudad de Latacunga a una altura de 2800 msnm y un clima promedio de 12∘C, otras pruebas en ralentí a diferentes horas del día y en la última fue en la ruta de “el chasqui”, por lo que el vehículo se encuentra en varios escenarios posibles. Como resultado, la temperatura del colector de escape fue superior a 417 ∘C, la temperatura inicial del sistema después del catalizador fue de 310 ∘C, la temperatura al final del tubo de escape fue inferior a 160 ∘C y la temperatura de ralentí no superó los 230 ∘C. Se concluyó que el mejor lugar para colocar un TEG es después del catalizador, debido a que en este momento no afectamos las lecturas erróneas de la sonda lambda, que conllevaría a un consumo de combustible y alta emisión de gases contaminantes.

Tax and other incentives to small, medium, micro enterprises in South Africa.

Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2004.The promotion of Small, Medium and Micro enterprises (SMMEs) has been identified as key strategy of government for employment creation and income generation. For some time now small business owners had to fend for themselves. Small business was neglected and was in the main ignored by government. Since the 1994 democratic process the challenge for the new order has been to create an enabling environment for the small business sector of the economy. The historical neglect and the consequent policy vacuum has had to be re assessed. To this end the 1995 White Paper on a National Strategy for the development and Promotion of Small Business in South Africa was the first major effort by government to design a policy framework targeting the small business sector. The promulgation of the Small Business Act in 1996 and the establishment of the Ntsika Enterprise Promotion agency under the aegis of the Department of Trade and Industry has attempted to provide direction and facilitate the provision of Non Financial support to the Small Business Sector. Various incentive schemes have been developed and put into operation together with a range of tax incentives to help promote Small Business. Eight years have passed since the promulgation of the Small Business Act and the perception that finance for SMMEs has been the greatest stumbling block to development. However the failure of the vast numbers of micro lending agencies have revealed that low levels of entrepreneurship has led to their demise. The provision of meaningful positive incentives need to be measured and their effectiveness needs to be tested. This study will try and identify the incentives available

Análisis de la eficiencia de un disco de freno convencional ventilado con respecto a un disco hiperventilado mediante mecanizado

The objective of this study is to redesign a ventilated brake disc as a hyperventilated disc to compare the differences in temperature and brake distances; for this purpose, a monitoring system was installed in the vehicle which consisted of the implementation of two temperature sensors located near each disk and a data acquisition card. With the implementation of hyperventilated discs, the temperature generated by the braking friction could be reduced. The temperature values that occur between the discs when braking was monitored. To obtain the temperature values of the brake discs, road tests were conducted with different types of discs: ventilated discs on the two front wheels, hyperventilated discs on the two front wheels and mixed discs. In the mixed discs there is a ventilated disc on the right front wheel and a hyperventilated disc on the left front wheel. By displaying time data of the brake discs, it was possible to conclude that hyperventilated discs have better heat dissipation, since they have better ventilation. From all the results obtained on the route tests, it was possible to visualize the temperature behavior in the discs at the moment of braking and it was evidenced that hyperventilated discs tend to heat up less than normal discs, thus leading to a decrease in time and stopping distance.El objetivo de este estudio tiene como finalidad rediseñar un disco de freno ventilado a un disco hiperventilado para comparar las diferencias de temperatura y distancias de frenado, para ello se instaló un sistema de monitoreo en el vehículo, que consistió en la implementación de dos sensores de temperatura ubicados cerca de cada disco y una tarjeta de adquisición de datos. Con la implementación de los discos hiperventilados se pudo disminuir la temperatura generada por la fricción del frenado. Se realizó el monitoreo de valores de temperaturas que se producen entre los discos al momento de frenar. Para obtener los valores de temperaturas de los discos de frenos, se realizaron pruebas de ruta con diferentes tipos de discos: discos ventilados en las dos ruedas frontales, discos hiperventilados en las dos ruedas frontales y discos mixtos. En los discos mixtos van un disco ventilado en rueda delantera derecha y uno hiperventilado en rueda delantera izquierda. Mediante visualización de datos en tiempo en los discos de freno se pudo concluir que los hiperventilados poseen una mejor disipación de calor ya que presentan una mejor ventilación. A partir de todos los resultados de las pruebas de rutas obtenidas, se pudo visualizar el comportamiento de temperatura en los discos al momento de frenar y se evidenció que los discos hiperventilados tienden a calentarse menos que los normales, llevando con esto a disminuir el tiempo y distancia de frenado

The main objective of this thesis project focused on designing and implementing an electric propulsion train for a vehicle prototype and subsequently achieving an adequate driving technique, where man and machine come together to achieve an efficient participation in the Eco Shell Marathon competition. In this context, the methodology sought to identify needs such as: equipment and driving strategies. Therefore, for the equipment selection, the technique of the ordinal method corrected of weighted criteria was applied, resulting in: a Brushed Speed WPHMOTO 48v 1000w motor with a score of percent; A TDPRO YK31C Accelerator Driver with a 40 percent priority, and Turnigy Graphene Panther Batteries (6000mAh, 6S 75C Lipo with XT90) with a 44 percent priority, from three possible options for each of them. After the equipment implementation, experimental trials of four types of practices were carried out. In the analysis of the results when contrasting the first two practices carried out on the sloping track zero degrees, it is revealed that in Test 01 the vehicle travels 35.056 km per kW.h, while in Test 02 the distance is 37.466 km per each kW.h. In the case of Test 03 and 04 performed on the track with an inclination of two degrees, the coefficients of the relationship between distance traveled and energy consumed are: 34.29 km/kWh and 42.219 km/kW.h respectively. Therefore, the relationship between the distance traveled and energy consumed present favorable data when applying the driving strategy based on giving impulses through the accelerator as the speed of the two types of tracks decreases.

A Large Area Fiber Optic Gyroscope on multiplexed fiber network

We describe a fiber optical gyroscope based on the Sagnac effect realized on a multiplexed telecom fiber network. Our loop encloses an area of 20 km2 and coexists with Internet data traffic. This Sagnac interferometer achieves a sensitivity of about (10-8 rad/s)/sqrt(Hz), thus approaching ring laser gyroscopes without using narrow linewidth laser nor sophisticated optics. The proposed gyroscope is sensitive enough for seismic applications, opening new possibilities for this kind of optical fiber sensors
