Church in the Digital Age: From Online Church to Church-Online

ABSTRACT Digital technology has changed individual and communal lives radically, resulting in the emergence of online-based churches. Concerns regarding the nature of online-based churches call for a theological investigation. This article critically examines ongoing debates and argues that: An online-based church should be construed and welcomed from the perspective of theocentrism. As of now, it is worthy to embrace church online rather than an online church until the issues of immersion in worship and gatherings of church members, and problems of online sacraments are resolved. This article highlights the problems surrounding online-based churches, and elaborates ecclesiology in the digital era.

Dual encoder network with efficient channel attention refinement module for image splicing forgery detection

Abstract. In the realm of picture forensics, it might be difficult to find and locate an image-splicing forgery. To improve the accuracy of the picture forensic evaluation, we introduce a dual encoder network (DAE-Net) with an efficient channel attention (ECA) module. The ECA module creates a fusion approach with an attention mechanism that enables the model to concentrate on local objects’ tampering characteristics and increases the accuracy of multi-region tampering identification. We suggest combining a dual-coding network with a multi-scale dilated convolutional feature fusion module to better detect small target tampering zones. Experimental evidence suggests that DAE-Net outperforms state-of-the-art methods. The attack experiments also demonstrate the DEA-Net model’s stability and noise resistance.
The applications of posturography in selected neurological disorders

Posturografia jest jedną z obiektywnych metod służących do oceny układu równowagi człowieka. Równowaga człowieka to zdolność do utrzymywania pionowego rzutu środka masy ciała (center of mass – COM) w polu powierzchni podparcia (base of support – BOS). COM w jednorodnym polu grawitacyjnym pokrywa się z rzutem środka ciężkości ciała (center of gravity – COG). System kontroli postawy (postural control system – PCS) utrzymuje rzut COG w BOS oraz przeciwdziała siłom zewnętrznym (sile grawitacji i bezwładności), które wpływają destabilizująco na postawę ciała człowieka. Minimalizowanie wychwiań kontrolowane jest przez ośrodkowy układ nerwowy (central nervous system – CNS). Poprzez narządy przedsionkowy i wzroku oraz eksteroreceptory i proprioreceptory odbierane są bodźce zewnętrzne. Informacje o nich przekazywane są do CNS, który poprzez reakcje zwrotne steruje układem ruchu tak, by minimalizować ryzyko upadków. Celem pracy jest zaprezentowanie trzech typów badań posturograficznych: statycznego, dynamicznego i nadążnego, a także przedstawienie zastosowań posturografii do obiektywnej diagnostyki zaburzeń równowagi oraz jako metody służącej do rehabilitacji i monitorowania postępów terapii w chorobie Parkinsona oraz u osób po udarze mózgu.
Nomophobia (No Mobile Phone Phobia) and Psychological Health Issues among Young Adult Students

Background: Smart phone use has become a part of people’s everyday life. However, when the lack of using the smart phone to establish and maintain electronic communication is related to psychological distress, such a behavior may be considered a modern-age phobia, or nomophobia (no mobile phone phobia). The aims of the present study were to investigate among a sample of young adults the associations between scores for nomophobia and symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, and obsessive–compulsive disorders. Methods: A total of 537 students (mean age: 25.52 years; 42.3% females) participated in the study. They completed a booklet of self-rating questionnaires covering sociodemographic information and symptoms of nomophobia, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, and obsessive–compulsive disorders. Results: Higher scores for nomophobia were associated with higher scores for depression, anxiety, and stress, but not with scores for insomnia and obsessive–compulsive disorders. The regression model confirmed that symptoms of anxiety predicted nomophobia. Conclusions: The present results support the assumption that nomophobia appears to be a mood disturbance related to stronger associations with symptoms of anxiety and, to a lesser extent, with symptoms of depression and stress. By contrast, nomophobia appeared to be unrelated to insomnia and symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorders.
Emerging scientific and industrial applications of digital holography: an overview

Holography is a technique to record and reconstruct three dimensional (3D) information without mandating lenses. Digital holography (DH) provides direct access to the complex amplitude of the reconstructed wavefront. This feature differentiates DH from other imaging techniques and enables it to provide quantitative information of the object under investigation. Advancements in technologies of digital image sensors, coherent sources, and computation algorithms and hardware, has paved the way of digital holographic systems for industrial applications. This work presents an overview of the scientific and industrial applications where DH can play an important role. Few of the applications of digital holographic systems in the industrial and scientific areas including microscopy, non-destructive testing, displays, environment, cloud and ocean studies are discussed.
Active commuting to early childhood education and care institutions among toddlers (2–3 years)

ABSTRACT Little is known about the modes of active commuting to and from school (ACS) in toddlers (2–3 years old). The aims of the present study are threefold: (a) to describe the modes of transport to and from early childhood education and care (ECEC) institutions in toddlers; (b) to analyze the role of different barriers and neighbourhood characteristics, as perceived by parents, in ACS; and (c) to examine the contribution of ACS on levels of PA. Parents provided written input through a questionnaire about the modes of transport to school they use with their young children, the weekly use-frequency of each mode, as well as the barriers they perceived to walking or riding a bike to ECEC institutions. The final sample consisted of 154 young children from Valencia (Spain). In a randomly selected subsample of 44 children, PA was measured using accelerometers. Cars and strollers were the most common modes of transport in toddlers. Perceived distance to school was negatively correlated to ACS, whereas parents’ perceptions around planning/psychosocial barriers was also negatively associated with ACS. There was a significant and positive association between ACS and total PA. However, ACS contributes positively to toddlers’ overall PA levels. This study provides information about planning/psychosocial barriers as significant predictors of ACS in toddlers.
Defining the glucosylceramide population of C. elegans

Glucosylceramides (GlcCer) are lipids that impact signaling pathways, serve as critical components of cellular membranes, and act as precursors for hundreds of other complex glycolipid species. Abnormal GlcCer metabolism is linked to many diseases, including cancers, diabetes, Gaucher disease, neurological disorders, and skin disorders. A key hurdle to fully understanding the role of GlcCer in disease is the development of methods to accurately detect and quantify these lipid species in a model organism. This will allow for the dissection of the role of this pool in vivo with a focus on all the individual types of GlcCer. In this review, we will discuss the analysis of the GlcCer population specifically in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, focusing on the mass spectrometry-based methods available for GlcCer quantification. We will also consider the combination of these approaches with genetic interrogation of GlcCer metabolic genes to define the biological role of these unique lipids. Furthermore, we will explore the implications and obstacles for future research.
Can Narrative Bibliotherapy Reduce Vulnerability to Eating Disorders? Evidence from a Reading Experiment

No research has yet experimentally evaluated the role of narrative fiction in relation to eating disorders (EDs). This study used a between-participants design to assess vulnerability to EDs before and after reading two contemporary U.S. young adult sports novels. ED vulnerability was measured using the EAT-26 and a tailored questionnaire. The experimental group ( n = 32) received the books with text-specific reading guides. The control group ( n = 33) received only the novels. Our hypothesis was that post-reading measures would be lower (improved) in both groups, but more markedly in the experimental group. Scores were typically lower in the experimental group and higher in the control group, but these differences were not statistically significant after correction for multiple comparisons. These findings underline the need to expand empirical evidence on the effects of narrative reading in the context of EDs, while the innovative methods trialed here open up new methodological avenues.
Environmental Impact of an Abandoned Cinnabar Mining Exploitation (Usagre, Spain)

Over the world, several cinnabar mining districts have been investigated concerning the consequent Hg pollution of surrounding ecosystem compartments. Among those gathering more attention, there are the Almadén and Mieres mining districts in Spain (Loredo et al., 1999; Higueras et al., 2003, 2006; Fernández-Martínez, et al., 2006; Millán et al., 2006), which are the largest and the eighth largest Hg mining districts in the world, respectively. Apart from these, in Spain there are other Hg mining areas extensively exploited up to quite recently, and whose environmental consequences have not been investigated so far. This is the case of the Usagre mining district. The Usagre mining district belongs to the Ossa-Morena Zone, the Iberian Massif geotectonic unit that displays the greatest variety of types of mineralisation and the largest number of ore deposits. Particularly, the Usagre district is characterised by epithermal Hg-(Cu-Pb-Ba) replacements in limestones (Variscan age). The most important deposit of this type is the Sultana-Mariquita mine, an Hg-rich deposit (size: 0.11 Mt and grade: 5-7 % Hg) worked intermittently from 1631 to 1971 (Tornos et al., 2004). The aim of the present work is to study the Hg content and distribution in soils and plants in the Usagre mining area in order to establish its Hg pollution degree, and, therefore, to assess the derived environmental risks.
Smart admission control strategy utilizing volunteer‐enabled fog‐cloud computing

Fog computing has become an effective platform for computing delay‐sensitive IoT tasks. However, the increased scalability of IoT devices ( IDs$$ \mathrm{IDs} $$ ) makes it difficult for fog nodes to perform better. Volunteer computing (VC) has emerged as a supportive technology in which resource‐capable ID$$ \mathrm{ID} $$ s, such as computers and laptops, share their idle resources to compute the IoT tasks. However, in VC‐based approaches, improper selection of volunteer nodes (VNs) may result in an increased failure rate and delay. To address these challenges, this work proposes a Smart Admission Control strategy utilizing volunteer‐enabled Fog‐Cloud computing (SAC‐VFC). The VNs are selected based on grey TOPSIS ranking. The incoming tasks are classified based on priority and delay and then scheduled using the Improved Jellyfish Algorithm (IJFA). Smart gateway (SGW) and fog manager (FM) act as mediators for allocating tasks among voluntary, fog, and cloud resources. FM performs a similarity‐based clustering of fog nodes using the enhanced Fuzzy C Means clustering (EFCM) algorithm to manage resources. Simulation study suggests the superior performance of SAC‐VFC over peers under comparison in terms of average delay, average makespan, success rate of tasks and tasks satisfying the deadline metrics.

Objectives Emerging evidence supports the positive effects of mindful parenting as a clinical intervention in the context of child psychopathology; however, previous studies have not considered the specific parenting predictors of improvements in child outcomes. Methods Parents accessing a child and youth secondary mental health care center participated in an 8-week mindful parenting training ( n = 89). The effects of the mindful parenting training were assessed on parent-reported child ’ s psychopathology, parents ’ own psychopathology, mindfulness, and parenting factors from pre-to post-intervention, 8-week and 1-year follow-up. Results Multi-level analyses indicated immediate and delayed improvements in most child and parent outcomes. Changes in experiential avoidance in parenting partially predicted improvements in child internalizing problems. In combination with mindful parenting, experiential avoidance in parenting fully accounted for improvements in child attention problems. Changes in parental over-reactivity fully accounted for improvements in child externalizing problems. Conclusions The mindful parenting training successfully improved the targeted (mindful) parenting factors, which in turn predicted improvements across different child outcomes.

Hybrid Boolean gates show that Cas12c controls transcription activation effectively in the yeast S. cerevisiae

Among CRISPR-Cas systems, type V CRISPR-Cas12c is of significant interest because Cas12c recognizes a very simple PAM (TN) and has the ability to silence gene expression without cleaving the DNA. We studied how new transcription factors for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be built on Cas12c. We found that, upon fusion to a strong activation domain, Cas12c is an efficient activator. Its functionality was proved as a component of hybrid Boolean gates, i.e., logic circuits that mix transcriptional and translational control (the latter reached via tetracycline-responsive riboswitches). Moreover, Cas12c activity can be strongly inhibited by the anti-CRISPR AcrVA1 protein. Thus, Cas12c has the potential to be a new tool to control the activation of gene expression within yeast synthetic gene circuits.
Success of Xenografts in Alveolar Ridge Preservation Based on Histomorphometric Outcomes

Different xenograft approaches in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) are essential to understand relative to their histomorphometric outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study involved studying biomaterials of a xenograft nature that are used in ARP procedures, to compare the different approaches and evaluate their efficacy in relation to histomorphometric data. An electronic search was completed using the databases: Ovid (Medline), Google Scholar and Wiley Online Library, including a hand search for relevant articles and grey literature. Only randomised controlled trials, using xenograft biomaterials for alveolar ridge preservation procedures involving human studies, dated from 2010–2022 were included in the review. An initial search yielded 4918 articles, after application of the eligibility criteria, 18 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in the systematic review. The two main xenograft groups found were of bovine origin and of porcine origin. The main histomorphometric outcomes evaluated included new bone percentage (N.B%) and residual graft percentage (R.G%). The mean N.B% for the bovine and porcine groups were 33.46% and 39.63% respectively and the mean R.G% for the bovine and porcine groups were 19.40% and 18.63% respectively. The current evidence suggests that the two main xenograft biomaterials used in ARP procedures after tooth extraction, which are of bovine and porcine origin, displayed effectiveness in producing new bone.
Soil texture GlobalSoilMap products for the French region 'Centre'

Soil texture (ST), namely the particle-size fractions of clay, silt and sand, is an important component of all soil physical-chemical processes. The object of this study is to determine the spatial variation of soil particle-size fractions in the region ”Centre” of the France in relation to their main controlling factors, and to create extended maps of these properties in order to meet GlobalSoilMap specifications. For this we used 2487 soil profiles from the French soil database and continuum depth values of the properties within the soil profiles have been calculated with quadratic splines methodology optimizing the spline parameters in each soil profile. We used environmental covariates to predict soil properties within the region at the following depth intervals: 0-5, 5-15, 15-30, 30-60, 60-100, and 100-200 cm. We used two different digital elevation models (DEMs) (i.e. – SRTM and ASTER DEMs) with 90m and 30m resolution, respectively, to generate terrain parameters and topographic indexes. We used also gamma ray maps, Corine land cover and available geological and soil maps of the region at scales 1M, 250k and 50k as covariates. Soil particle-size distribution is modeled using the compositional data analysis theory namely, alr-transform (Aitchison, 1986). Prediction models were boosting regression trees (BRT). Thereafter, a linear model of co-regionalisation (LMCR) was fitted for co-kriging the residuals. 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
Multichannel Electrophysiological Recording With Spike Detection and Sorting in a Duty-Cycled Wireless Optogenetic Headstage

Neural signal recording and optical stimulation using implantable devices have become a ubiquitous method to treat brain disorders, yet there lie some shortcomings, such as size, weight, and functionalities of the implants. This work presents a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) component-based miniaturized wireless optogenetic headstage with simultaneous optical stimulation and electrophysiological recording for freely moving rats. The system includes a battery-based neural stimulator consisting of a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, an oscillator, and a <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>LED. The electrophysiological signal recording system includes an intracortical neural probe implemented on a shape memory polymer (SMP) substrate, an array of neural amplifiers with an integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a transceiver IC, and a ceramic antenna. A digital sub-1-GHz transceiver integrated with a low-power microcontroller (MCU) is used to transmit the acquired neural data to a remote receiver unit, followed by offline spike detection and sorting in LabVIEW. The front-end recording amplifiers provide a gain of 45.7 dB with the input-referred noise of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2.4 \mu \text {V}_{\text {rms}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. The integrated multiplexer (MUX) with the ADC allows sampling of the amplified voltage at a configurable sampling rate of 160–480 kSamples/s. The total power consumption of the stimulation and the recording system is 23 mW. The dimension of the headstage device is <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$13.5\times21.3$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm, weighing 4 g without the battery. The system is experimentally validated in an in vivo setting by placing the headstage on the head of a male rat and recording the neural signals from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain. This integrative neural signal recording and spike sorting approach would be useful for the development of a closed-loop neuromodulation system.
