Sexual ethics in islam ISRA presenation
Presentation on Islamic Ethics with a particular focus on sexual ethics for HSC students studying Islam.
Friday prayer at the mosque.adapted
The document summarizes the key aspects of Jumu'ah, the Friday congregational prayer in Islam. It explains that Jumu'ah replaces the midday prayer on Fridays and is obligatory for adult men, though encouraged for women. The prayer involves two rak'ah led by an imam, two sermons by the imam, recitations from the Quran, and ends with personal prayers. Physical actions like standing, bowing, and prostrating are performed with spiritual meanings like humility and submission to God.
Five pillars of islam ISRA Presentation
The document discusses the five pillars of Islam: Shahadah (testifying to creed), Salat (offering daily prayers), Zakat (paying charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). It explains the significance and benefits of each pillar, which are acts of worship intended to strengthen a Muslim's faith and spiritual development through both individual and collective observance. The five pillars provide a framework for cultivating spirituality and balancing the three dimensions of Islamic faith: belief, practice, and spiritual excellence.
Christianity Significant Person - Paul of Tarsus
Paul of Tarsus made significant contributions to the development, expression, and impact of Christianity. He helped spread Christianity beyond Jerusalem through missionary work, establishing communities across Asia Minor and Europe. Paul also contributed influential epistles that became sacred texts defining Christian beliefs like the death and resurrection of Jesus, salvation through faith, and ethics of love. Additionally, Paul played a key role at the Council of Jerusalem which allowed Gentiles to join the Christian faith without adopting Jewish practices, aiding rapid expansion. Through his efforts, Christianity developed into a distinct religion with global reach rather than a small Jewish sect.
Christian Ethics - Bioethics
Christian ethics related to bioethics are primarily based on the authority of the Bible, natural law, and teachings from early Church councils and leaders. The overarching principles are love as commanded by Jesus Christ and protecting the dignity and sacredness of human life as created in God's image. This applies to ethical stances on issues like abortion, euthanasia, and medical interventions. While there is some diversity between denominations, core bioethical positions are grounded in showing compassion through respecting all human life.
Islam Significant Person - Aisha Bint Abu Bakr
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Islamic Ethics - Sexual Ethics
This document discusses Islamic ethics regarding sexuality from an Islamic jurisprudence perspective. It outlines core concepts like tawhid (belief in one God) which directs Muslims to fulfill God's will. Marriage is considered good and the proper outlet for sexuality, while adultery and homosexuality are forbidden as they go against God's commands. Issues like marriage, adultery, and homosexuality are examined through teachings in the Quran and hadith which emphasize living according to God's revelations and avoiding clear evil acts. Guidance is also drawn from scholarly consensus to determine rulings for issues in the broad gray area between good and evil.

Christian ethics BPC resource
Christian ethics are primarily based on teachings from the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, Sermon on the Mount, and life of Jesus. Protestant ethics are divided between liberals who emphasize situation ethics and evangelicals who stress absolute biblical authority. Catholic ethics rely on biblical authority as well as tradition, church councils, papal encyclicals, and natural law which holds that human conscience can discern right from wrong. Orthodox Christians also emphasize biblical authority along with church fathers and councils.
Christian ethics bioethics_hsc MCC resource
The document discusses the foundations and sources of Christian ethics, including scripture, natural law, and tradition. It examines how different Christian denominations approach issues in bioethics such as abortion, euthanasia, and stem cell research. While most Christians are against abortion and euthanasia based on the commandment "thou shall not kill", views vary between denominations in allowing exceptions or drawing from other ethical sources like personal choice. Catholics take a stricter view opposing all abortion and euthanasia based on natural law teaching that life begins at conception.
Paul of tarsus connecting the dots
Paul of Tarsus was an early Christian missionary who helped expand Christianity. He played a key role in connecting Christianity to Gentiles rather than just Jews, which greatly increased the number of believers. His missionary work led to changes in how Christians viewed themselves and expressed their faith, such as replacing circumcision with baptism. Paul revitalized Christianity through his evangelization of non-Jews.
Account for the religious landscape in australia post 1945
This document outlines changes in religious adherence in Australia since 1945 based on census data, showing a decline in Anglican and Presbyterian figures but increases in Catholic, Orthodox, and Pentecostal adherents. It also notes a rise in secularism and steady increases in Hindu, Muslim, and Buddhist figures due to immigration. The changes are accounted for by factors like immigration, denominational switching, the rise of new age religions, and increasing secularism in the context of Christianity remaining the major religious tradition.
Interfaith dialogue examples and impact
Interfaith dialogue is important in multicultural, multi-faith Australia to foster cooperation and understanding between religious traditions. It establishes recognition of diversity and promotes communication to coexist peacefully. The document discusses two organizations, Interfaith Dialogue and the Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Australia, that focus on education, community building, and cooperation across faiths through principles like sincerity, service, and consultation. Both aim to develop deeper understanding and awareness of shared values between Abrahamic religions.
Interfaith dialogue dr gerard hall
Interfaith dialogue is essential for several reasons according to Catholic theologian Dr Gerard Hall SM. First, in our postmodern world no single religion can claim to have the sole truth. Second, in a democracy all religions have a right to practice freely. Third, in secular societies the role of organized religion is ambiguous. Fourth, as global citizens we must care for all humanity regardless of borders. Fifth, Australia is a multicultural society requiring dialogue between religious groups and indigenous peoples. Sixth, spirituality exists outside religion so faiths must engage all voices. Seventh, religions should promote justice for marginalized groups. Eighth, dialogue is fundamental to human dignity and community.
Account for the present religions
Australia currently has a diverse religious landscape influenced by five major factors: Christianity remains the dominant tradition, though attendance is declining; immigration has increased religious diversity as migrants brought new faiths like Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism; some Australians switch denominations more commonly within Protestantism; new age religions focused on spirituality have risen in popularity; and secularism has grown as religion is separated from public life and some question traditional faiths.
Interfaith dialogue examples and impact
Christian ecumenical movements in Australia have had a significant impact by helping to reduce sectarianism between denominations that was inherited from the UK, such as between Anglicans and Catholics. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity celebrated in May each year brings denominations together in prayer and worship around shared scripture, faith, and calling from God. The Uniting Church of Australia, formed from the union of Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist denominations, continues ecumenical work through theological dialogues with other churches to promote understanding and cooperation in their shared mission. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Commission advocates on indigenous rights and policy issues, representing the united Christian voice.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity brings together different Christian churches in prayer and worship. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Commission advocates on indigenous rights and policy through a united Christian voice. The Uniting Church of Australia, formed through church union, continues ecumenical work through theological dialogue with other denominations.
Principle Beliefs of Christianity
The document discusses several key Christian beliefs: the Trinity, the divinity and humanity of Christ, his death and resurrection, salvation, and revelation. It provides biblical passages for each belief and explains how the passages illustrate the beliefs. For example, it explains that Genesis 1:1 supports the Trinity by referring to God creating through the Word. John 3:16 is listed under both salvation and revelation to show that salvation is only through God's revelation of his Son.
Mission powerpoint
This document provides information about Christian missionaries and spreading the gospel. It discusses how the Bible calls all Christians to preach the gospel to all people. It defines a missionary as someone who travels from their community to another place without that faith to inform them about Christianity and the benefits of worshipping God. The goal is to spread the faith and form church communities where people can regularly practice and worship together. The document asks the reader to choose and research one of three missionaries: St. Patrick to Ireland in 432, St. Columba to Scotland in 563, or Sister Irene McCormack. It outlines the SQ3R reading strategy of survey, question, read, recite and review to guide studying the selected missionary.
Martin Luther King Jnr. ppt
Martin Luther King Jr was a Baptist minister and civil rights activist who led the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He believed in using non-violent civil disobedience to achieve racial equality and justice. King led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, helped form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to coordinate activities, and gave influential speeches promoting racial harmony, such as his "I Have a Dream" speech. He was assassinated in 1968 while supporting a sanitation workers' strike.
Early.church.history.revised
The document summarizes the development of early Christianity from the life of Jesus to the East-West Schism in 1054 CE. It discusses Jesus' disciples spreading the word and establishing an early Christian community. It then covers topics like the persecution of early Christians, leadership of the church under figures like Peter and Paul, the division from Judaism, Constantine's conversion, and the split between the Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.
Explain why jesus is the model for christian life
Jesus is the model for Christian life according to four aspects of his life and ministry portrayed in the gospels. Jesus lived a life of prayer, frequently communing with God. He lived a life of service to others, focusing initially on Israelites but expanding his scope. Jesus also acted as an advocate for the poor and oppressed. Finally, Jesus loved and forgave others, showing Christians the importance of forgiveness.
Moral maturity kohlberg and piaget
This document discusses Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg's theories of moral development. Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development from birth to adulthood. Kohlberg identified six stages of moral reasoning grouped into three levels - pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional morality. The document provides descriptions of each stage and level of moral development. It also presents a scenario involving a man stealing a drug to save his wife and asks the reader to make decisions related to the scenario and link them to Kohlberg's stages of moral development.
MJP key term definitions
The document defines key moral terms including conscience, moral maturity, morality, and immorality. It describes conscience as the inner voice that urges people to do good and avoid evil. Moral maturity is defined as a person's cognitive moral development. Morality involves principles of right and wrong behavior that depend on the object, intention, and circumstances of an action. Immorality is defined as conduct that does not align with standards of right and good.
The synoptics
The four gospels were written for different audiences and purposes. The synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke were selected early on as they provided the clearest account of Jesus' life and message. Each gospel was composed at a different time and place, so they sometimes built upon and differed from one another. For example, Matthew's Jewish community focused on fulfilling Jewish law and tradition, while Mark's persecuted community related to Jesus' struggles. Luke wrote for established Christians seeking clarification, and John promoted belief through metaphor and imagery.
Historical and cultural context of the time of jesus
The document summarizes the historical and cultural context of the time of Jesus in Palestine. It describes Jewish religious practices like observing the Sabbath and making sacrifices in the Temple. It also discusses the political situation under Roman rule, the various Jewish sects like the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the widespread hope for a Messiah who would liberate the Jewish people.
The nature of religion and beliefs review prelim sor
The document discusses the nature and characteristics of religion and beliefs. It defines the supernatural dimension as aspects of human experience beyond comprehension. Religions can have a transcendent or immanent worldview. Key characteristics of religion include beliefs, believers, sacred texts, ethics, and rituals/ceremonies. These interact to create a dynamic, living religion. Religions contribute meaning for individuals and social cohesion for communities. It also defines Aboriginal Dreaming as a complex belief system embracing the creative era and present/future, originating from ancestral spirits shaping the landscape.
Australian aboriginal beliefs and spiritualities terminology
Indigenous Australians have rich spiritual beliefs centered around ancestral beings and the Dreaming. Key concepts include:
1) Ancestral beings are spirits regarded as direct ancestors that shaped creation and founded laws and ceremonies; they exist in sacred sites linking past and present.
2) The Dreaming encompasses the creative era when ancestral beings roamed, the establishment of society, and the present/future.
3) Countries are lands belonging to indigenous groups and places of Dreaming. Totems link people to ancestral beings through animals, plants, or landmarks.
4) Elders are respected keepers of sacred knowledge and overseers of Dreaming tracks within Aboriginal communities. Kinship defines relationships and responsibilities.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
