Theological education continues to be subject rapid social and technological change, which is further exacerbated by the recent global pandemic. Practical theology as a discipline grow, being well placed methodologically engage with diverse contexts these realities. The task for theological whether it can meet challenges part of transformation required. Openseminary methodology program was deve...

The schema produces derogatory implications in its practical domain in that working with the elderly is considered as something inferior as “Working with older people is seen as focusing on custodial activities that lack the “excitement” and status of other fields of social work practice” [3]. The schema and its associative labels have also given rise to a loss of voice for the elderly in that ...

An algorithm is presented for the fast and accurate definition of protein structural domains from coordinate data without prior knowledge of the number or type of domains. The algorithm explicitly locates domains that comprise one or two continuous segments of protein chain. Domains that include more than two segments are also located. The algorithm was applied to a nonredundant database of 230...

I argue that taking the Practical Conditionals Thesis (PCT) seriously demands a new understanding of the semantics of such conditionals. Practical Conditionals Thesis: A practical conditional [if A][ought(B)] expresses B’s conditional preferability given A Paul Weirich has argued that the conditional utility of a state of affairs B on A is to be identified as the degree to which it is desired u...

This paper describes a new technique for the design of BIST TPGs. The TPG design technique identiies compatible circuit inputs that can be connected to the same TPG stage. The key idea is that compatibility between the circuit inputs is determined by analyzing the circuit logic. Unlike pseudo-exhaustive testing, circuit inputs that fanout to the same output can be compatible, provided that conn...
