Authors:   O.V. Bogatsky Physico-Chemical Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, Zinchenko V.F. , Magunov I.R. , Mozkova O.V. , Gorshtein B.A.
Published: June 2023

The paper reports on the main physicochemical properties of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and the features of its application in optics, optoelectronics, and semiconductor technology, as well as the main synthesis methods (synthesis in a solution, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, and chemical vapor deposition). The harmful effect of the ZnO admixture on the optical and operational properties of zinc sulfide as a starting material for optical ceramics and in a thin film coating is shown. Possible ways of zinc oxide entering the base material during synthesis, storage in air or subsequent heat treatment are considered. The possibility of detecting and estimating the content of oxide admixture (ZnO) in ZnS by methods of substantial chemical analysis has been established. For the first time, approaches were proposed and implemented aimed at weakening the harmful effect of oxide admixtures by binding them with the help of lanthanide sulfides and sulfofluorides, followed by the formation of lanthanide oxosulfides by exchange reactions. The use of the addition of boron oxide (B2O3) with the formation of complex compounds with significantly lower chemical activity and volatility compared to ZnO is considered more promising. The method developed by the authors implies the complete removal of the ZnO impurity by heat treatment of the material with a sulfurizing agent, Sb2S3, the excess of which is removed by heat treatment in a vacuum. This method seems to be more labor-intensive, but more attractive for consumers of zinc sulfide as a material for interference optics.

Pembangunan berbasis material beton saat ini merupakan hal yang sangat penting pada pembangunan infrastruktur. Salah satu pembangunan yang sering terjadi di lahan gambut. Seiring dengan hal ini, maka butuh beberapa tambahan material yang mampu memberi tahanan terhadap beton, agar mampu bertahan di lahan gambut yang diketahui mempunya zat asam yang tinggi. Bergerak dari kondisi ini, maka salah satu material yang di tambahkan yaitu silicafume. Job mix yang dilaksanakan menggunakan aturan SNI 03-2834-2000, dengan perawatan menggunakan air gambut dan air tawar. Berdasarkan pengujian didapatkan hasil kuat tekan di air gambut hanya 3,6% pada campuran silicafume 5% dengan menggantikan berat semen, dan 35% pada air tawar. Pada pengujian tarik belah tidak terdapat adanya perubahan yang signifikan. Sedangkan pada porositas seiring dengan penambahan silicafume sampai 20%, menjadikan porositas beton semakin meningkat dengan signifikan

Youth Evangelism, "Link2Llife," A Strategy To Reach Postmodern Youth In Germany And Switzerland
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Sigg Stephan
Published: June 2023

Problem In terms of cross-cultural mission youth are the most crucial group of people to be reached with the Gospel. From a theological, a sociological as well as a psychological point of view adolescence can be seen as the most receptive phase of life regarding the adoption and integration of faith, a coherent value system and a meaningful life narrative. The process of individuation in the adolescent years offers the biggest potential for both conversion and apostasy. Despite a professionalized youth ministry youth evangelism has never been high on the missional agenda of the Christian Church. Method The youth ministries department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Germany and Switzerland initiated and conducted an international youth evangelism broadcast through satellite to reach postmodern youth within and outside the church with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the years 2002 and 2004. Results In 2002 as well as in 2004 about 200 local congregations and youth clubs in Germany and Switzerland were part of the Link2Life initiative. Link2Life reached not only churched youth with the biblical message of Jesus Christ but also to a high percentage their unchurched friends. The Link2Life evangelism increased the identification with the Gospel message and the Adventist church among young people and lead to an increased number of baptisms. Conclusions Link2Life was an effective approach in the context of event or mass evangelism and a rare example of a missional attempt of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Germany and Switzerland to reach young people. Youth evangelistic events need the systemic context of an intergenerational and authentic community of faith. Youth evangelism, however, calls for an incamational and contextual approach that values authentic relationships.
Whole-person Care Ministry: a Study of Discordant Attitudes at Loma Linda University Medical Center
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Tyler Kenneth
Published: June 2023

Problem. The defining emphasis of Loma Linda University Medical Center is to “Continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus” and “Make man whole” through a whole-person care approach. This study aims to determine why a significant number of patients fail to establish rapport with their care providers resulting in less than desirable healing outcomes and longer hospital stays. Method. A Qualitative Research study was conducted with 12 interviewees to ascertain their insight of what comprised an excellent care partnership with their medical providers and, conversely, what constituted unacceptable care in their view. A representative balance of diversities in ethnicity, culture, age, gender, medical diagnosis and religion among the patient participants was achieved by selecting the first 12 former patients who agreed to contribute to the study. Results. Study participants confirmed that effective communication is the basis for the establishment of trust in the provider/patient relationship. They are more apt to comply with recommendations for treatment, experience greater satisfaction with their care and are less inclined to seek legal redress in the event that treatment is unsuccessful if a trusting and responsive relationship with their provider is achieved. Partnership rather than paternalism is their preferred model for the ideal doctor or care provider relationship. Conclusions. Care providers best connect with patients by engaging intentionally with them regarding their medical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. The additional time and effort invested in good communication pays dividends in securing patients’ cooperation and investment in their care. Patients do not appreciate condescension, apparent disinterest in them as persons or being treated just as a case or as a disease to be beaten. A physician or care provider that manifests approachability, listens well, follows up with what is learned and goes above and beyond the call of duty is seen as a valuable asset by the patient and the institution.
Priesthood of All Believers: a Catalyst for Change in the Ephraim Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Barthelemy Reginald
Published: June 2023

Problem. The Ephraim Seventh-day Adventist Church has experienced a significant declined over the last seven years. Nearly half of the membership was missing; however, one of the main reasons for this decline is the fact that church members failed to understand their calling to ministry and as a result they failed to assume their responsibility as disciples. Method. A series of six seminars were given. The participants were taught the concept of the priesthood of all believers, the duty, and the responsibility of a disciple. Pre- and post-seminar surveys were administered by the researcher to measure understanding and growth acquired from those seminars. Data collected from the surveys was evaluated and was beneficial to the Ephraim Church. Recommendations were made that other churches in the Greater New York Conference area give a thorough study of the priesthood of all believers concept. The researcher recommended that follow-up get-togethers take place on a quarterly basis for those who were taught the priesthood of all believers concept so that they can share their ministry experiences with each other, and also to study new ways to share the concept with other believers. Results. We had an attendance between 20 to 40 participants in each seminar. Four small groups were formed in order to identify those who were interested in learning and sharing the priesthood of all believers’ concept. Each small group was composed of five to seven members, and had for their task to grow the group to twelve people. When the group reached twelve, then a new group would be formed. The groups met once a week for Bible study, and then they would go out to reach others for Christ. Ministry in the groups began with the members of the groups, then to the members of Ephraim Church, and then they took their ministry outside to the community. Each group had a designated Sabbath to share their experiences with the church during the personal ministry minutes. We found small groups ministries to be among the best models to implement the priesthood of all believers’ concept. The Ephraim church members have been motivated by the results of these findings and manifested the desire to continue toward that path. Four people have received Christ as a result of the small group ministries, and we are currently preparing other people who joined these small groups to receive water baptism. Conclusions. The priesthood of all believers concept advocated in this project seeks to train and equip members of the Ephraim Seventh-day Adventist Church for Christian duty. This concept creates a friendly environment for all believers to work together as a team and to foster a spirit of unity and togetherness among pastors and members. Team effort is the pathway to success. This research provided many practical and spiritual life changing lessons to both participants and the researcher. However, this model needs further reflection and implementation for improvement.
Applying the Biblical Practice of Meditation Among Adventist Frontier Mission Employees
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Vine Conrad
Published: June 2023

Problem. Personal feedback from AFM personnel indicated deep uncertainty as to the legitimate basis for, and practice of, meditation within the Bible in general and the counsels of White in particular. The ongoing debates within the SDA Church concerning meditation and the lack of formal denominational guidance on how to meditate exacerbated the uncertainty. As a consequence, primary devotional habits for many employees primarily revolved around to prayer, Bible study and corporate worship. Yet there remained a reported hunger on the part of many employees for a more meaningful sense of God’s presence in their lives. The problem therefore was whether and how spiritual growth could be nurtured among AFM employees through enabling them to both understand and apply the counsels of the Bible and of Ellen G. White on meditation. Method. A study was conducted on the topic of meditation as found in current literature, the Bible, and the writings of White, followed by the development of a meditation model suitable for use within an Adventist environment. Ten AFM employees participated on a voluntary basis in an initial seminar, which included a summary of the above study and an orientation to the meditation model. Each employee participated in an initial in-depth interview, after which each employee worked through the meditation model provided for eight weeks, followed by a final in-depth interview. Results. The results indicated that the practice of biblical meditation brought significant personal spiritual benefits to the research participants, with 80% of the research participants indicating their intent to continue the practice of biblical meditation. The results also indicated that biblical meditation may not be a suitable devotional habit for all people, suggesting that different people will find different devotional habits to be meaningful. Conclusions Biblical meditation is an important and powerful devotional habit with deep roots within the Bible and the writings of White. Biblical meditation within an Adventist theological context may be experienced as intensely personal, deeply transformational, and providing the framework for a dynamic encounter between the Holy Spirit and the practitioner. To avoid extremes of subjectivity, biblical meditation may be most suitable for an individual if practiced within an active and loving Christian community. Adventist practitioners are recommended to gain a broad understanding of the principles of meditation as revealed in the Bible and writings of White before engaging in meditation. New practitioners are recommended to engage in meditations as per the enclosed meditation model until confident in the use of the principles contained therein. Practitioners are recommended to approach biblical meditation with an expectation of God’s transforming presence and a submissive attitude to the deep work of God. Finally, practitioners are recommended to find a mechanism for journaling that ensures confidentiality and encourages open personal reflection.
Coping Strategies For Members Of The Zion Seventh-Day Adventist Church Who Experienced Multiple Losses And Complex Grief After A Major Crisis
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Joseph Jean-Renaud
Published: June 2023

Problem This dissertation explored the prevalence of trauma exposure, complicated grief, and related symptoms among survivors and members of Zion Seventh-day Adventist Church who had lost family members in the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Method The sample included participants who were members of Zion Seventh-day Adventist Church (n =39) who had either personally witnessed the 2010 Haiti earthquake and/or had lost family members in this traumatic event. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to explore the relations between the scale items of the IES (Impact of Event Scale) as well as between the subscales and other variables of interest. Results There were no participants in the subclinical or mild range, 71.8% in the moderate range, and 28.2% in the severe range. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the intrusive and avoidant subscales, r (37) =.48, p=.002. Conclusions These findings suggest that 9 months after the Haiti 2010 earthquake, significant amounts of post-traumatic stress symptoms were observed among members of the Zion Seventh-day Adventist Church who had lost family members in this disaster. This study also suggests that grief symptoms among this bereaved population have a significant correlation with PTSD symptoms. Further research using additional methodologies and measurement techniques is needed to determine whether or not these patterns remain consistent.
Multicultural Strategies for Developing a Church With Intentional References to Diversity, Inclusiveness, and Structure as Modeled by the All Nations Seventh-day Adventist Church, Berrien Springs, Michigan, 1979-2012
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Afa'ese Uatisone
Published: June 2023

Problem. The development of a multicultural church is a challenge because it requires a fusion of diverse cultural entities into a single church. When the All Nations Church began in 1979 in Berrien Springs, Michigan, church leaders discouraged its establishment, believing the experiment would be divisive, and encourage dysfunction and misunderstanding. Members of other Seventh-day Adventist churches in the community disapproved of the concept of a multicultural church within its boundaries. To date, no formal evaluation has been done to determine the effectiveness of the multicultural ministry to the community. Method. This narrative culture-inspired project is the report of a descriptive study that included a review of current literature related to racial and multicultural issues in organizational development in the context of a theological study of unity in diversity. The document includes responses to a survey distributed to core members of the All Nations Church in Berrien Springs, the multicultural congregation that served as the target population. Interviews were conducted that included leaders and individuals who contributed to the formation of the All Nations Church and those who thought contrary to the need for its existence. Results The survey and interviews identified some of the successes and failures of establishing a multicultural church in the context of the All Nations Church in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Given a study by DeYoung, Emerson, Yancey, and Kim (2003, p. 165), a multicultural church congregations can be divided into assimilated, pluralist, and integrated multiracial congregations. The study indicated that the current status of the All Nations Church falls between pluralist and integrated. Conclusion. For the past 32 years, the All Nations Church has claimed its reason for existence to be that of an intentionally multicultural Seventh-day Adventist church, under the auspices of the Lake Region Conference. The pioneers of the All Nations Church saw the need in the community for a multicultural church but the idea of establishing such a church was going against the tide of public opinion. Presently, it seems that some of the reasons for establishing such a congregation have disappeared, but the members indicate that it still serves the original purpose, but the opinions are still mixed as to whether or not the church can be declared a success.
A Model for Multicultural Worship Developed at the Fallbrook Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Jones Gerald
Published: June 2023

Problem. Seventh-day Adventist Churches in the southern California region are becoming racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse, thus providing a favorable climate to embrace a worship service that includes the needs of all people. How can churches embrace a worship service that emphasizes diversity, is inclusive, and becomes an intentional multicultural worship service? Is there a first step that clergy and worship leaders can take to have a multicultural worship service? How important is the role of leaders in helping this becoming a reality? Method. This project developed a multicultural worship service led by church pastors of diverse racial, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds leading worship together. The coming together of at least two pastors will be called an honorary co-pastor service. The Fallbrook Church has two worship services: 8:15 and 11:00. The 8:15 worship service was the intervention service to measure the congregation’s acceptance of multicultural worship. The results of the 8:15 worship service was evaluated against the 11:00 worship service. Results. Returns from the survey appear to be positive. The co-pastor intervention of culturally or racially diverse pastors worshipping together affected the attitude of the congregation to embrace multicultural worship. As a result of the survey it appears the honorary co-pastor model can be a first step for congregations with a similar interest in developing a multicultural service. Conclusions. A multicultural worship service with the honorary co-pastor model is a tangible and practical response to a foundational text regarding worship found in Revelation 14:6- 7. In this passage, our worship is to the God of the eternal gospel and His transforming grace for all people. Leaders from diverse backgrounds provide an example of unity in worship through scripture, prayer, music, and fellowship. Through this model the congregation has the opportunity to learn acceptance of people from diverse backgrounds. In the worship service there can be no greater response to God’s call than when pastors lead a congregation toward reconciliation with each other.
A Strategy to Engage Islamic Youth and Young Adults in Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kamara Matthew
Published: June 2023

Problem. Since the arrival of the first official Adventist missionaries to Liberia in 1926, evangelistic efforts have been focused on non-Muslim communities. The nation’s 14 years of civil crisis left 105,000 disarmed combatants who are mainly young people. Most of these young people are found in Grand Cape Mount County, a predominantly Islamic community where they are engaged in illicit diamond mining, illegal harvesting of latex, and other criminal activities for their income. There is a need for the Adventist church to use this situation as an opportunity to reach out to them with pilot projects that will empower them for economic sustenance and spiritual development. This may initiate deeper relationships between the church and the Muslims in that community. Method. Current literature including articles, journals, and books dealing with Christian-Muslim relationships and with contextualizing the Adventist message in Muslim culture were reviewed through library research. Literature on historical, cultural, social, and political analyses of Liberia and specifically Grand Cape Mount County were also reviewed. The project will include a Leadership seminar, study of Islamic culture, implementation of pilot projects, and placement of tentmakers in Grand Cape Mount County. Finally, the project will be evaluated with recommendations made to stakeholders at the close of the project. Expectation. The implementation of this project will begin a new era in Adventist-Muslim relationships in Liberia. Participants trained by this project will be assigned to conference tentmakers who would be placed in strategic locations in the county. These tentmakers will introduce participants to business enterprises where they will gain work experience, which will motivate them to establish their own small businesses or work to earn wages for their sustenance. The goal is that, occupied with their new vocation, these young people will recede from criminal activities and become contributors to the economic development of their community. Adventist Conference leaders may also appreciate the new development as an opportunity to establish relationships with the Muslims in the county. Through such friendship evangelism, the church and stakeholders may be encouraged either to continue their support for the project or to introduce similar new projects (elementary school, clinic etc.) that will meet the needs of the community and strengthen relationships with the people.
Evaluating and Enhancing the Personal Prayer Life of the Members of the Standifer Gap Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Mix Robert
Published: June 2023

Problem. Daily, disciplined personal prayer is one of the most difficult, yet important exercises the Christian can undertake. Many Christians today talk about prayer more as a burden than as a pleasure. Even many pastors, including myself, have been frustrated about their prayer experience. I discovered very few of my church members or leaders spent much time in prayer on a daily basis. Method. A ten-month sermon series and curriculum was formed and delivered during 2009. Its purpose was spiritual enhancement. It included ten sermons on the prayer life of Jesus and the early church, and ten interactive discussion periods geared to challenge the participants into a more knowledgeable, active, and effective prayer experience. The success of this journey was measured by a questionnaire given during the first afternoon seminar and again at the last afternoon seminar. Comparison of results yielded some interesting insights. Results. Twenty people voluntarily attended the first afternoon seminar and eight the final session. A comparison of the results of the questionnaires from the first afternoon session and the last session showed that an increase in time in personal prayer was associated with an increase in feelings of satisfaction in personal prayer. The increase of time in prayer was also linked to an increase in confidence in one’s relationship with God. Overall those in the final group spent considerable more time with God on a daily basis, which created a deeper desire to spend even more time with Him! Conclusions. The combination of time, learning, and practice seems to have contributed to an increase in satisfaction with personal prayer.

On the Fate of Loanwords in a Language (the Case of the German Language)
Authors: Alekseenko E. S.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The  article  discusses  loanwords  as  one  of  the  ways  to  expand  lexis,  the attitude towards foreign language units in the German language community, in particular, purist  movements  and  efforts  to  preserve  purity  of  the  language,  a  brief  analysis  of loanwords in modern German is carried out. Currently, loanwords, especially those form English, have a crucial role in the process of lexis evolution. Analyzing this  phenomenon and its perception by native speakers might help to suggest how the German language will evolve.

Methodology  and  sources. In  the  course  of  the  study,  such  concepts  as  “language evolution”, “loanwords”, “purism” were analyzed and described. The materials for the study were  the  articles  of  such  linguists as  E.D.  Polivanov  and  M.D.  Stepanova  on  the development  and  expansion  of  lexis,  in  particular  the  one  of  the  German  language,  the works  of  sociolinguists,  L.P.  Krysin  and  I.V.  Belikov,  in  particular, related  to  language evolution, as well as modern studies of the German language.

Results  and  discussion. The  article  highlights  modern  sociolinguistic  ideas  about language  evolution,  considers  loanwords  as  a  significant  part  of  this  process.  The diachronic  and  synchronic  analysis  of  foreign  language  elements  in  the  lexis  of  the German  language  is  carried  out,  the  main  milestones  in  the  development  of  purism  in Germany  are  presented.  The  development  of  a  language,  like  the  development  of  any society,  is  inevitably  influenced  by  foreign  cultures  that  bring  something  new;  isolated development  is  practically  impossible.  At  different  stages,  the  language  borrows  missing elements from the languages of those communities that have achieved greater success in one  area  or  another.  The  perception  of  borrowed  elements  is  directly  influenced  by  the mood in the language community, the political situation and other extralinguistic factors. The conducted research suggests that despite the not always positive attitude of members of  the  language  community  to  loanwords,  the  process  of  including  words  from  other languages into the lexis is inevitable.

Conclusion. Borrowings are an inevitable consequence of linguistic evolution taking place in  close  contact  with  other  languages  and  cultures.  At  the  moment,  borrowings  are  an integral  part  of  the  lexis  of  the  German  language  and  are  an  essential  element  of  its development.
