Christian ecotheology uses theology to examine the consequences of human action on ecology. It comes from the notion that the natural world is the creation and the good of God. The study of the Sacred Texts and the analysis of their references to the environment provides information on the relation of human beings to the environment and reveals the approach of each author. In this study, a detailed descriptive statistical analysis of the environmental references of the four Gospels of the New Testament was carried out. The different aspects of the environment (natural, anthropogenic, and spiritual) were explored and a quantitative analysis of the environmental references was performed for the texts of the four Gospels using descriptive statistics measures. The results show that the anthropogenic environment is the most commonly cited, with the spiritual environment coming next and the natural environment in the third position.

One of the educational areas which have the function as the center of the new growth is the Campus of the State University of Semarang. The existence of Unnes trigger the development of the Sekaran sub-district. One area that has developed commercial activity quite rapidly in the Sekaran sub-district is the Taman Siswa Road Corridor. The purpose of this study was to assess the utilization of space commercial activity in the Taman Siswa road corridors and look for the cause of development of land in the region. The method used in this research is the method of quantitative analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. In the analysis that has been performed, on the factor analysis, the results are not as expected from researchers, or can be said output generated deviate from the input that has been inserted. This is because there are errors in data entry. To anticipate this is to use the results obtained from the descriptive statistical analysis.

Statistics today represent a group of scientific methods for the quantitative and qualitative investigation of variations in mass appearances. In fact, statistics present a group of methods that are used for the accumulation, analysis, presentation and interpretation of data necessary for reaching certain conclusions. Statistical analysis is divided into descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistics. The values which represent the results of an experiment, and which are the subject of observation of a certain occurrence, are called parameters and they are divided into descriptive and numerical. All numerical parameters are divided into non-continuous and continuous. The graphic presentation of the distribution of frequencies can be by poligon or histogram. The most frequently applied descriptive statistical methods are: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, standard error of arithmetic mean, variation coefficient, and variation interval.

Daoism proposes a radical reversal of the way that modern human beings think about the natural world. Rather than understanding human beings as “subject” who observe the “objective” world of nature, Daoism proposes that subjectivity is grounded in the Dao or Way, understood as the wellspring of cosmic creativity for a world of constant transformation. As a result the Daoist goal of “obtaining the Dao” offers insights into the ecological quest to transcend the modern, Cartesian bifurcation of subject and object, self and world. From this follows an ideal of human action not as the projection of agency onto an neutral, objective backdrop but as a transaction or mediation between self and world.

In his Critique of Pure Reason, Kant argued that human reason is inherently conflicted, because it demands a form of unconditioned knowledge that transcends its capacity; his solution to this conflict of reason relies on the idea that reason’s quest for the unconditioned can only be realized practically. This book proposes to view the conflict of reason, and Kant’s solution to this conflict, as the central problem shaping the contours of post-Kantian German Idealism. I contend that the rise and fall of German Idealism is to be told as a story about the different interpretations, appropriations, and radicalization of Kant’s prioritizing of the practical. The first part of the book explains why Kant’s critics and followers came to understand the aim of Kant’s critical philosophy in light of the conflict of reason. I argue that F. H. Jacobi and Salomon Maimon set the stage for the reception of Kant’s critical philosophy by conceiving its aim in terms of meeting reason’s demand for unconditioned knowledge, and by understanding the conflict of reason as a conflict between thinking and acting, or knowing and willing. The manner in which the post-Kantian German Idealists radicalized Kant’s prioritizing of the practical is the central topic of the second part of the book, which focuses on works by J. G. Fichte and F. W. J. Schelling. The third part of the book clarifies why, in order to solve the conflict of reason, Schelling and Rosenzweig developed the view that human experience is grounded in three irreducible elements—God, the natural world, and human beings—which relate in three temporal dimensions: Creation, Revelation, and Redemption.

The problem of mathematics learning often happens in mathematics teaching that seems far from the real problem. Realistic mathematics learning can help students to understand about mathematics concepts that abstract for them. If the teachers use real context in mathematics learning, students will be more attracted and interested. The purpose of this research is to look at the effect of realistic mathematics learning towards student's mathematical disposition. The method of this research is descriptive quantitative. The subjects were 35 students of SMP N 14 Yogyakarta grade 7 and this research held in one month. The instrument is students' mathematical disposition scale questionnaire. The students fill the questionnaire before and after they are given a treatment. The result of the questionnaire was analyzed using descriptive statistics, by looking at the average before and after treatment and categorized according to the average value. Based on the results of the descriptive statistical analysis showed that an average of students’ mathematical disposition has increased. The average value of students in pre-treatment is 96.02 with the medium category and then after treatment is given to the 109.44 with the high category

This study aims to present the concepts and methods of statistical analysis using the Excel software, in a simple way aiming at a greater ease of understanding of students, both undergraduate and graduate, from different areas of knowledge. In Excel, mainly Data Analysis Tools will be used. For a better understanding, there are, in this book, many practical examples applying these tools and their interpretations, which are of paramount importance. In the first chapter, it deals with introductory concepts, such as introduction to Excel, the importance of statistics, concepts and definitions. Being that in this will be addressed the subjects of population and sample, types of data and their levels of measurement. Then it brings a detailed study of Descriptive Statistics, where it will be studied percentage, construction of graphs, frequency distribution, measures of central tendency and measures of dispersion. In the third chapter, notions of probability, binomial and normal probability distribution will be studied. In the last chapter, Inferential Statistics will be approached, starting with the confidence interval, going through the hypothesis tests (F, Z and t tests), ending with the statistical study of the correlation between variables and simple linear regression. It is worth mentioning that the statistical knowledge covered in this book can be useful for, in addition to students, professionals who want to improve their knowledge in statistics using Excel.

This article analyses the changes effected by the new constitutional bills of rights of Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. In the Introduction, the conceptual and empirical framework is presented, enunciating four descriptive hypotheses: (1) the new Arab bills of rights are longer and denser, (2) they take up the most recent catalogues of rights as expressed in the globalized constitutional models, (3) they recognize the international human rights law as a binding legal category, and (4) they grant a special importance to women, children and minorities’ rights. The testing of these hypotheses, by means of a descriptive statistical analysis and the study of the novelties introduced, constitutes the second section. The third section analyzes the evolution and functional rationale of these new constitutional provisions. Finally, a conclusion is provided, arguing that the new Arab bills of rights are situated within globalized constitutional trends, adjusted with certain regional particularities.

At one time, God was a bird. But it is said that Christianity evolved away from its animocentric origins in order to defend a pure form of monotheism. This narrative, however, misses the startling scriptural portrayals of God as the beaked and feathered Holy Spirit—the third member of the Trinity who is the “animal God” of historic Christian witness. Appearing as a winged creature at the time of Jesus’ baptism (Luke 3:21-22), the bird-God of the New Testament signals the deep grounding of biblical faith in the natural world. The Introduction calls this perspective “Christian animism” in order to signal the dialectical relationship between biblical religion and the beliefs of indigenous communities that Spirit enfleshes itself within all beings on Earth. It argues that all things are alive with sacred personhood and worthy of human beings’ love and protection in a time of massive environmental devastation.

Microcredit has a fundamental role as a tool for financial inclusion. It is estimated that there are almost 50 million microentrepreneurs in Brazil, of which two-thirds are women. This work aims to analyze the impact of microcredit for women microentrepreneurs in comparison with men, based on data collected in northeastern Brazil in partnership Avante, a fintech specialized in microcredit. Data were collected from microentrepreneurs who had access to credit (treatment group) and those who did not have their credit granted (control group) so that they could be compared. The analysis was divided into two parts. In Part I, a descriptive statistical analysis of the collected data was performed. In Part II, some simplified causal inference techniques were applied to validate whether the impact of microcredit existed for women microentrepreneurs. The results give strong indications that women, despite having a lower income, grow more than men after access to microcredit. The annualized growth in income of women was 19.87%, while that of men was 14.66%.
