An exploratory factor analysis yielded seven factors, which qualified time as destructive, constructive, fluid, elusive, cyclical, eternal, and mysterious. The factor scales significantly related to gender, origin, faculty association, and death anxiety. A structural equation modeling approach was ...
As time passed, the meaning of "期" expanded. It can now represent a specific period, such as "semester" (学期) or "era" (时期), or a cyclical period, such as "life cycle" (生命周期) or "economic cycle" (经济周期). Moreover, when "期" is used to express "expectation" or "ho...
moving from noise to tranquillity, while the hard solid bronze door opens into a circular hole so that the interior provokes curiosity in the visitor. The circle, as an easily recognisable symbol, is a cyclical symbol of time and a fundamental graphic element that runs through the space. Withi...
Early Christian leaders rigorously disputed the traditional cyclical view of time. Prominent among them was St. Augustine. He laid great emphasis on the idea that the crucifixion of Christ must be regarded as a unique event, not subject to repetition, implying that time is linear rather than cyc...
speaking about the spiral as a bridge of the cycle and the line. M.M. Thomas does not want to value the cyclical view of time and history negatively. He merely wants to add a dimension which is lacking wherever the cycle prevails: “The Christian understanding of historical and cosmic proc...
world (and therefore cyclical time) is “Earth moves but Heaven is still: the rim revolves but the Center remains without motion”, which is clearly based on the symbolism of the wheel – which rotates. So the question is: does the “turning world” rotate, or is it a spiral or helix...
is the focus on the long-term memory of time series and to the application of the Hurst exponent as indicators of predictability (ex-ante). This article offers a procedure for how to reveal hidden chaotic states in the time series of a project’s output information. If it is possible to...
It is because we have failed to accurately comprehend the meaning of three passages related to this that we have been led to parse them incorrectly and therefore misread them. The three passages in question are: 1、道恆無名,樸雖小,而天下弗敢臣。 (Mawangdui version jia) 道常無名,樸雖小,...
A single order of differencing is most common in models that show a constant trend; a second order of differencing can indicate a trend that varies with time.By default, the order of difference used in the Microsoft Time Series algorithm is -1, meaning that the algorithm will automatically ...
Of course, when Christians say “the end,” we are speaking about more than termination. We are speaking about purpose. What is the purpose of a day, or a life? What is the meaning of time and history? We don’t always know exactly where a path leads until we reach its end; it ...
