“My Time in Academia”: Systemic Ideologies and Contrapower Harassment
No full textSystemic ideologies burden faculty in academia, especially women and other marginalized populations. In particular, the stamina of female faculty is funneled into surviving a system that is inherently prejudiced against them. When women challenge these systemic ideologies, they are often dismissed and silenced—especially in instances of contrapower harassment. The role-playing game (RPG) My Time at Portia acts as an allegory of systemic ideologies and their impact on faculty dealing with contrapower harassment. Academia functions as an inadequately designed RPG where women and other marginalized populations are prevented from upgrading their tools and, therefore, are powerless to progress
Theological Foundations of Modern Empirical Science
No full textAs observed by C. S. Lewis, “Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Law Giver.” This belief is foundational to the basic assumptions of modern empirical science: the universe exists, is orderly and follows mathematical laws, and may be understood by humans. Through the examination of the faith of three founders of modern physics, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell, we can see how belief in a Creator influenced their science. This provides a theological warrant for the efficacy of science to provide genuine knowledge regarding the nature of reality and can provide needed perspective when legitimate conflicts between science and theology arise

Spiritual development of primary school children
No full textThis study examines children\u27s spiritual development in primary education as a key aspect of holistic growth, integrating moral, emotional, and academic dimensions. Rooted in Fisher’s Four Domains Model, it explores relationships with God, self, others, and the environment. Using a quasi-experimental design, it assesses the impact of a values-based spiritual program on children aged 7 to 9 in Romanian Adventist schools. Findings show that structured programs enhance spiritual well-being, resilience, and happiness. Emphasizing educators’ and communities’ roles, the study offers recommendations for integrating spirituality into curricula, fostering ethical and empathetic individuals
Factors Influencing Parental Loyalty: A Study of Adventist Schools in Romania
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of parental satisfaction and assess the effect of parent satisfaction on parental loyalty towards Adventist educational institutions, including primary, secondary and high schools, within the context of Romania.
The research employs a structured questionnaire administered to parents who have chosen Adventist schools for their children’s education in Romania. A total of 297 parents agreed to participate in this study. Path analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the factors of perceived value, service quality, corporate image, communication and convenience and their effect on parental satisfaction, which in turn influences parental loyalty. The final results were analyzed in light of various demographic variables, including age, gender, school, income, region, and level of education.
The results indicate a favorable relationship between Parent Satisfaction and the factors of Perceived Value, Service Quality, and Convenience. These factors subsequently have a positive effect on parental loyalty.
The study demonstrates that parents are satisfied with the Adventist educational institution in Romania and are willing to invest financially in them. Therefore, Adventist schools should aim to enhance their service quality and introduce more convenient features to retain current customers and attract new ones in the future. Further research could expand on these findings and explore additional variables that may significantly impact parental satisfaction and loyalty.
