Junction Conditions for General Gravitational Theories

José M. M. Senovilla

The junction conditions for general theories of gravity based on actions that depend on arbitrary functions of the curvature scalar invariants (including differential invariants) are obtained using the distributional formalism. In case of the existence of thin shells, a general expression for the shell energy-momentum tensor is presented. Generalized Israel equations are also obtained. The conditions for a proper matching, without shells, are derived. The main results are: (i) shells arise if the $m$th-covariant derivative of the Riemann tensor is continuous at the matching hypersurface, where $m$ is the maximum order of differentiation appearing in the Lagrangian density; (ii) a proper junction without thin shells requires further that the $(m+1)$-th derivative be also continuous, (iii) theories with $m=0$ that are quadratic in the scalar curvature invariants are special and unique for they allow for discontinuities of the Riemann tensor resulting in the existence of thin shells and {\em gravitational double layers} and (iv) General Relativity and $F(R)$ theories are extraordinary theories that admit shells of curvature (i.e. impulsive gravitational waves) because other theories require the absence of jumps of the second fundamental form across the matching hypersurface. For proper junctions, the continuity across the matching hypersurface of the normal components of the energy-momentum tensor is proven to be a {\em universal} property, independently of the field equations, thereby providing important necessary conditions for any matching in any gravitational theory. All results are derived for a minimal coupling with the matter, but the strategy would be analogous for more general couplings.

Holistic Education: Implementing St. Josemaria’s Philosophy of Education in the Philippines

Cyrill Paolo Silva

This paper recommends and applies the Philosophy of Education of St. Josemaria Escriva as an enhancing addition for basic education in the Philippines in line with the current reforms of DepEd MATATAG and the K-12 reform. The proposal is not a replacement for the current system but aims to address key implementation gaps in moral formation, teacher readiness, and parent-school collaboration. Integral to St. Josemaria Escriva’s Philosophy are the principles of Formation, Freedom, and Families, which coalesce into an advocacy for holistic student development, which is not just concerned with academic development but includes moral formation as well. Using philosophical analysis and critical evaluation, this paper argues for a new emphasis on parent-teacher collaboration, recognition of parents as primary educators, and comprehensive teacher formation to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical applications of reforms. Moreover, this paper recommends integrating moral formation across all subjects and not just in Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao (ESP) to enhance the effectiveness of values education.  Finally, this paper concludes with the transformative potential of St. Josemaria Escriva’s Philosophy of Education in promoting a morally and spiritually enriched educational system that can potentially address challenges faced in Filipino society.

Generating spacetimes from colliding sources

M. Halilsoy, V. Memari

Certain well-known spacetimes of general relativity (GR) are generated from the collision of suitable null-sources coupled with gravitational waves. This is a classical process underlying the full nonlinearity of GR that may be considered alternative to the quantum creativity at a large scale. Schwarzschild, de Sitter, anti de Sitter and the $γ$-metrics are given as examples.

Revisiting the Evolving Lorentzian Wormhole: a General Perspective

Subhra Bhattacharya, Tanwi Bandyopadhyay

Wormholes can be described as geometrical structures in space and time that can serve as connection between distant regions of the universe. Mathematically, general wormholes can be defined both on stationary as well as on dynamic line elements. However, general relativistic and evolving Lorentzian wormholes are less studied than their static wormhole counterpart. Accordingly, in this work we shall focus on some evolving wormhole geometries. Starting from a general class of spherically symmetric line element supporting wormhole geometries, we shall use the Einstein's field equations to develop viable astatic wormhole solutions. We will also discuss various evolving wormhole solutions together with their physical significance, properties and throat energy conditions. We claim that the method discussed in this work shall be applicable for developing wormhole solutions corresponding to any general Lorentzian wormhole metric.

Symbolic Aspects of Nutrition Vocabulary in the Turkic Languages

Amantai Sh. Znilkubaeva

The article uses a lot of factual material to reveal the role of ethnographisms associated with cooking during the most significant moments of human life: birth, wedding, burial. The connection of symbolism with ritual is revealed.The purpose of the article is based on the specifics of the work caused by the need for a linguoculturological description of the vocabulary of nutrition, the definition of extralinguistic factors (customs, traditions and religious beliefs) in the formation, development and functioning, as well as the disclosure of the symbolic essence of this LSH.The relevance of the article is determined by the need for linguistic and cultural understanding of the food vocabulary, which is widely reflected in paremia, concepts, phraseological units, and customs as the most stable lexical and semantic categories of the Turkic languages (more than 2 000 lexical and phraseological units).The material of the study was the vocabulary of nutrition of the Turkic languages. The main methods used in the work are descriptive, comparative, and interpretive.The reception and serving of food among the Turkic peoples and their reflection in customs and traditions are symbolic relations between people connected by social, gender, and age relations. For example, the symbolism of food associated with the birth of a child has its roots in the distant past of the Turkic people and means a sacrifice for the successful birth of a woman. These rituals include: preparing special meals to speed childbirth: Garissa (lit. Competition with the cauldron, where food is cooked), preparing special dishes: sut burysh, IIT mun, burial of the bones of a ram slaughtered for a woman in labor, gnawing the neck vertebrae of a ram without a knife, burning meat, etc. These traditions are a symbol of introducing the baby to a new life denoting the appearance of a new person. As a result of the analysis of this thematic group, it was revealed that traditional household rituals are the most stable basis of the ethnic spiritual culture of the Turkic peoples, many symbolic actions related to food are common, which once again confirms the hypothesis of genetic kinship of these peoples.The concept of linguoculturological research of customs and traditions as one of the current trends in linguistics opens up new aspects of the relationship and connection of language and spiritual culture, language and folk mentality, language and folk art. In the conceptual picture of the world and the national – cultural context, the question of the place and role of the studied LSH is very significant.The scientific novelty of the research consists in the linguistic and cultural understanding of one of the traditionally established and most stable lexical and semantic categories of the Turkic languages – the vocabulary of nutrition. Such studies in modern linguistics have not been sofer conducted.

Does the Employability Paradox Exist or Not? An Inverted U-Shaped Model

Haibo Yu, Changli Yan, Lu Zhang et al.

This paper’s purpose is to test the employability paradox by adopting a combined linear and non-linear approach based on the conservation of resource (COR) theory and the prospect theory and further to discuss it in two groups of employees with different seniority following the career timetable perspective. A total of 623 pairs of matched employee and manager surveys was collected from 27 Chinese enterprises in two waves. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The results show no paradox that perceived employability promotes both an employee’s turnover intention and performance. Specifically, perceived employability has a significant inverted U-shaped effect on turnover intention but no direct influence on job performance. Seniority is a moderator, showing the curvilinear relationship only exhibits for employees with shorter work seniority (≤3 years), and a positive linear relationship between perceived employability and job performance only exists for employees with longer seniority (>3 years). This study emphasizes the value of employability for employers and proposes who is more suitable and what timetable should be followed for employability enhancement in practice. In addition, the study provides an enlightening finding of the inverted U-shaped relationship between perceived employability and turnover intention, applies the COR theory and the prospect theory to explain the non-linear relationship, validates the effect of too much of a good thing (TMGT), and negates the paradox from the perspective of the perceived general employability and career timetable.

MEDIATIONAL FIELDS AND DYNAMIC SITUATED SENSES

Carlos Mario MÁRQUEZ SOSA

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notions of mediational fields and dynamic situated senses as a way to identify the structure of experiences, thoughts and their relations. To reach this purpose I draw some lessons from the debate between Dreyfus and McDowell about the structure of experience, from Cussins’s conception of mediational contents, and from Evans’s account of singular senses. I notice firstly that McDowell’s answer to Dreyfus consists in developing a practical and demonstrative notion of the products of our conceptual capacities. A conception that entails that human experience is not entirely characterised in terms of an abstract specification of truth-conditions. McDowell and Cussins endorse Evans’s conception of singular senses. A specification that takes into account the dynamic and situated abilities involved in making reference. Whereas the first argues in favour of a conceptual conception of experience, the second one argues in favour of a nonconceptual conception. I introduce the notions of mediational fields and dynamic situated senses to argue that both converge in conceiving the contents of experience as mediational and not reducible to an abstract specification of truth-conditions. My proposal is to define a bidimensional space orthogonal to the conceptual/ nonconceptual, experience/thought, know-how/know-that dichotomies. Cognitive contents are ways to disclose the world both as mediational fields and as referential structures. The degree in which those elements are presented determine different varieties of cognition. I use the previous notions to develop the sketch of an account of singular, objective and contextual ways of cognition, and to argue that it is better to begin an enquiry about cognition with notions that do not presuppose a distinction between practical and intellectual capacities.

Students’ decisions about the teacher’s types of written feedback on short stories in English

Roxanna Correa Pérez, Jael Flores Flores

This study examines feedback provided by an English teacher to Chilean secondary student texts, in the context of writing short stories collaboratively in an English as a foreign language class. The study aimed to analyze students’ decisions about the teacher’s types of feedback on their short stories. For this investigation, and under the context of qualitative research, there were analyzed 6 consecutive drafts of the students’ short stories, of a public high school in Chile. This is a qualitative research with an action research design. The data collected was analyzed using Straub and Lunsford (1995) categories to describe the impact of the teacher’s written feedback on students’ decisions. In terms of students’ decisions, participant students adopted most of the teacher’s comments. The student’s texts evidenced progress, but still, regardless the feedback provided, they presented some grammatical and organizational issues.

Under-diagnosis of mental disorder in people with intellectual disabilities: study of prevalence in population with different degrees of intellectual disability

Carlos PEÑA SALAZAR, Francesc ARRUFAT NEBOT, Abel FONTANET et al.

There are a few studies in the literature analyzing the prevalence of mental illness in people with intellectual disabilities (ID). This study explores the prevalence of mental disorders in adults without previous mental disorder and different degrees of ID. We assessed 142 individuals with varying degrees of ID and with unknown previous psychiatric disorder. We applied the diagnostic battery PAS-ADD based on criteria ICD-10 and DSM-IV TR to analyzed the prevalence of mental disorders in people with mild / moderate ID. We applied the Spanish version of the scale DASH-II to analyze the prevalence of mental disorders in people with severe and profound ID. We found a psychiatric disorder previously undiagnosed in 29.57% of our sample. In people with mild/ moderate ID the most common psychiatric disorder was depressive disorder (33.3%), but in people with severe and profound ID was the anxiety disorder. The most prevalent medical comorbidity was epilepsy (22.5% of the total sample and 39.2% in the population with severe / profound intellectual disabilities). Psychiatric disorders seem to be more common in the population with ID than in the general population, increasing their prevalence and medical comorbidity in severe and profound ID.

Generalized Nonsingular Solutions for the Scalar Meson Field of a Point Charge in General Relativity Theory

Yi-Shi Duan

It has been shown that in investigating the electromagnetic and meson fields of elementary particles, the effects of gravitational interaction cannot be neglected. The present note is an attempt to find solutions to the equations of the general relativistic gravitational and scalar meson fields of a point nuclear charge. The solution is nonsingular at all points of the gravitational and meson fields. Although it contains several functions whose form is not given, this solution can be used to obtain the potential of the scalar meson field, which is a generalization of the Yukawa potential; furthermore, it makes it possible to calculate the mass and self-energy of the nucleon, which turn out to be finite.

Liliana Pérez García

Athanasius Pernath, habitante de un ghetto en Praga, descubre en un oscuro laberinto la túnica medieval y un juego de tarot para engendrar al Golem; un hombre artificial, un ser autómata y sin pensamiento, construido por un rabino conocedor de la Cábala. No obstante, Pernath sólo conserva una carta: el loco. Athanasius no recuerda su pasado, sin embargo, la obra es una sucesión de sus sueños, que se atribuyen a su mente fraccionada. Él, aduce al inicio de la historia que el alma de los hombres se derrumbaría al momento de eliminar cualquier concepto, deseo secundario o por quitar de la mente cualquier inútil costumbre. En realidad, todas aquellas experiencias narradas, han sido concebidas por un hombre que por equivocación tomó el sombrero de Pernath en la catedral de Hadschrim.

Per quelle confuse carte... The Galilean De motu in Raffaello Caverni’s Reading

Francesco Crapanzano

In my view, among the contributions related to De motu and its related issues, we may include Raffaello Caverni’s (1837-1900) confused, “lengthy” and not always accurate writing on the subject in his Histoire de la méthode expérimentale en Italie. The monumental work of the Tuscan priest was published in six formidable volumes (the last posthumously) and immediately met both praise and criticism. Leaving aside certain odd judgments and risky assumptions, the Caverni’s ideas on De motu can legitimately be considered as useful material. This is not so much the case for his “review” but rather for his reconstruction of the theoretical framework within which Galileo worked in order to hypothesize how he undertook the construction of the new physics and for a more accurate “history of effects”.

Melhoramentos humanos, no plural: pela qualificação de um importante debate filosófico

Murilo Mariano Vilaça

No artigo, abordo a ideia de melhoramento humano (MH), visando a contestar três frustrantes tendências dos seus críticos, a saber, as ideias de: (1) que a natureza humana será artificializada, sugerindo que estaremos diante de algo novo e incomparavelmente perigoso, bem como que ainda seja possível preservar uma separação radical entre natureza e técnica; (2) que é possível abordar e criticar o MH a partir de uma singularidade semântica; e, diretamente relacionada à anterior, (3) que há univocidade entre os defensores do MH acerca de como os indivíduos devem lidar com os meios biotecnocientíficos disponibilizados, a saber, como uma ingênua e acrítica obrigação de melhorar.
