What’s Wrong with the Christian Business Faculty Association?
Authors: Martinez Richard J.
Published: May 2024

As I take the reins from my friend Sharon Johnson at JBIB, I know these are big shoes to fill. Dr. Johnson grew the journal from birth to its current state in a little more than ten years. While Sharon certainly had extraordinary help from reviewers, writers, the CBFA Board, and Cedarville University, he has been faithful in doing the Lord’s work. As I have worked with reviewers and writers to put this 2006 issue together, it has been no small comfort that Sharon’s office is less than twenty feet from my own. I know you will join me in saluting Sharon for his time as Founding Editor of the Journal of Biblical Integration in Business.
Just What was Jesus Saying? Two Interpretations of the Parable of the Shrewd Manager
Authors: Dyck Bruno , Starke Frederick A. , Dueck Calvin
Published: May 2024

Many Bible passages have been applied to the practice of management. One particular passage — the parable of the shrewd manager (Luke 16: 1-15) — is conspicuous by its absence. Why is this parable, where the central character is a manager, rarely referred to? In this paper, we interpret the parable of the shrewd manager from both a Conventional materialist-individualist moral-point-of-view, and from its Radical counterpoint-of-view. Readers are challenged to consider the implications of the different interpretations of the parable and to think clearly about their own moral-point-of-view of management.
Engaging Ideas: Can Christian Business Scholarship Inform Business Practice?
Authors: Jackson Stacy , Eames Robert , Van Drunen Leonard , Voskuil Julie
Published: May 2024

This paper systematically reviews and critiques all the scholarship presented to date in the Journal of Biblical Integration in Business which is specifically focused on business practice. We employ a conceptual framework which parses the sources of normative advice and attempts to delineate the type of normative advice as being for our heads, hearts or hands. A particular focus is given to the “hands” portion of the framework when we look at the various normative perspectives regarding how business should be practiced by Christians. We also consider the sources for those perspectives (e.g., general versus specific revelation), the role of practitioners in their development, and the breadth of areas still in need of study. Finally, we suggest specific actions that consider the limited resources focused on explicit Christian scholarship, the particular (but not exclusive) Christian call to scholarship that matters in practice, the variety of backgrounds and skills aspiring Christian scholars possess, and the unmet needs of practitioners that only Christian business scholars may uniquely meet. We challenge ourselves to be more engaged, more empirical, and more explicit in our Christian business scholarship.
It’s Alive: The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology and Business by Christopher Meyer and Stan Davis
Authors: Johnson Sharon G.
Published: May 2024

A colleague who teaches chemistry and physics and I were discussing his dissertation work. He told me he was creating a new compound that would bond with mercury. This compound could be used by water companies seeking to remove this dangerous heavy metal from water. He said that they did not know the specific mechanism by which this occurred because the material is opaque and thus cannot be examined through even a sophisticated electron microscope.
Confession and Bookkeeping: The Religious, Moral, and Rhetorical Roots of Modern Accounting by James A. Aho
Authors: Hartman Charles
Published: May 2024

d Bookkeeping, presents the idea that double-entry bookkeeping arose from the desire in Renaissance Italy for all actions to be brought into conformity with God’s requirements, more specifically, with the dictates of the Roman Catholic Church. While the book does not address many modern accounting issues, it does present an interesting examination of the way in which social and cultural forces can shape business practice.
Innovation and the Early Christian Church
Authors: Oster Gary
Published: May 2024

Significant institutional change is a difficult process for most organizations. The first century Christian Church faced a number of hurdles as it transitioned from the prevailing Jewish culture to a new Christian paradigm. One issue particularly problematic to the Jewish culture was the refusal of the fledgling Christian body to honor Jewish dietary restrictions. Although the initial focus seemed to be on dietary regulations, the greater issue in Acts 10 centered on God’s offer of salvation to those outside the Jewish faith. Without the realization of a substantial conceptual shift to overcome these cultural barriers, the emerging Christian Church would be stillborn, unable to expand beyond the narrow constraints of the predominant Jewish culture. The issue was made more complex because key Christian leaders were exemplary adherents of the Jewish traditions, and also in need of reframed personal worldviews. In addition, requisite changes needed to be translated into easily understood universal principal. This paper uses the interaction of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10 to explore the specific methodologies used by the first century Jewish and Christian communities to recognize, interpret, integrate, and decide on new and challenging ideas. The paper asserts that mechanisms of organizational learning shown in Acts 10 serve as a worthwhile model for leaders of corporate innovation through the ages.
Innovation and the Early Christian Church: Strengthening the Thesis
Authors: Cafferky Michael E.
Published: May 2024

In his response to Oster’s article, Cafferky offers commendations for the points that Oster presents when considering the events described in Acts 10-11. Cafferky also explores what he believes is an implicit assumption in Oster’s article regarding applying organizational theory from the for-profit sector straight across into the nonprofit sector. Oster’s thesis might be strengthened if the literature from the world of organization theory applicable to nonprofits is considered. Finally, Cafferky attempts to strengthen Oster’s thesis by exploring the complexity of the identity and purpose that he believes the first century Jewish Christians carried with them as they evaluated the prospects of including Gentiles into the Gospel Commission as well as laying aside Jewish dietary restrictions.
Beyond Legal Compliance: Toward Better Corporate Citizenship of Foreign Multinational Enterprises in China
Authors: Lam Maria Lai-ling
Published: May 2024

Many leading multinational enterprises (MNEs) are found to practice fewer corporate social responsible actions in developing countries even though they are legally mandated by their global supply chain partners (Abdul-Gafaru,2009; Murdoch & Gould, 2004; Philipp, 2009; Rondinelli, 2006; Stiglitz, 2006). Will the voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of foreign multinational enterprises in China be a better alternative than legal regulations in a country where there is a weak legal enforcement system?

Phytochemicals detected in Lysiphyllum strychnifolium (Craib) A. Schmitz stem extracts and their log-patterns of ABTS radical scavenging activities
Authors: Karaket Netiya , Pansuksan Kanoktip
Published: May 2024

Lysiphyllum strychnifolium (W. G. Craib) A. Schmitz is a plant with various medicinal properties, including antioxidant activity and detoxification. In this study, we initially screened the phytochemical compounds in methanolic (MeOH) extract by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique and blasted them with NIST17 library. After screening, some bioactive compounds, such as 1,2-Benzenediol (3.68%); 1,2,3-Benzenetriol (12.16%); 1,3,5-Benzenetriol (24.30%); 13-Docosenamide, (Z)-(3.41%); and D-allose (24.46%) with reported antioxidant properties were identified; Then, the next analysis of phytochemicals; including catechin and quercetin in MeOH, ethanolic (EtOH), and aqueous extracts by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results revealed that catechin contents in all extracts fell within the range of 3.46–9.55 mg/g DW. However, quercetin is figured out in all extracts except in the EtOH extract, which may be due to its low content and the limitation of detection. Subsequently, we tested the free radical scavenging activities of all extracts using the ABTS method. It is noteworthy that all extracts exhibited significant antioxidant activities, showing a logarithmic pattern when plotting the graph of decolorization versus concentrations, unlike the linear pattern observed with the standard Trolox. Our study confirms that L. strychnifolium extracts have excellent antioxidant activities and represents a potential candidate for alternative source of antioxidant agents in medicinal application.

META-LUDOLOGICAL NARRATIVE IN DIGITAL GAMES: A STUDY ON ALAN WAKE II
Authors: Depboylu Kağan
Published: May 2024

This study, examining the innovative perspectives and opportunities video games offer to narratology, particularly through the game Alan Wake II, scrutinizes the potential of digital games to develop new narrative forms and techniques beyond traditional narrative frameworks. Alan Wake II stands at the convergence of meta-fiction, meta-narrative, and meta-linear cinematic narration, adding new layers of meaning to the narrative through player interactions. It expands the boundaries of storytelling by employing methods such as creating stories within stories, transitioning between characters and fictional universes. This interactive storytelling grants players the freedom to explore different layers of the story while also allowing for deep inquiries into the structure of the narrative, fictionality, and reality. The layered structure of the narrative in Alan Wake II and the intertextual and intermedial integration of numerous story elements emphasize the meta-linear cinematic narrative, giving the player an active role in assembling the story. Through synthesizing traditional narrative methods with the techniques used in the analysis of digital games, this study opens a discussion on how video games can form a meta-ludological narrative form. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of the contributions of the structure formed by the combination of ludic and narrative elements to narratology, demonstrating how metaleptic transitions between different fictional planes on various layers can be integrated into gameplay.
Overcoming the nutritional immunity by engineering iron-scavenging bacteria for cancer therapy

Published: May 2024

Certain bacteria demonstrate the ability to target and colonize the tumor microenvironment, a characteristic that positions them as innovative carriers for delivering various therapeutic agents in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, our understanding of how bacteria adapt their physiological condition to the tumor microenvironment remains elusive. In this work, we employed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to examine the proteome of E. coli colonized in murine tumors. Compared to E. coli cultivated in the rich medium, we found that E. coli colonized in tumors notably upregulated the processes related to ferric ions, including the enterobactin biosynthesis and iron homeostasis. This finding indicated that the tumor is an iron-deficient environment to E. coli. We also found that the colonization of E. coli in the tumor led to an increased expression of lipocalin 2 (LCN2), a host protein that can sequester the enterobactin. We therefore engineered E. coli in order to evade the nutritional immunity provided by LCN2. By introducing the IroA cluster, the E. coli synthesizes the glycosylated enterobactin, which creates steric hindrance to avoid the LCN2 sequestration. The IroA-E. coli showed enhanced resistance to LCN2 and significantly improved the anti-tumor activity in mice. Moreover, the mice cured by the IroA-E. coli treatment became resistant to the tumor re-challenge, indicating the establishment of immunological memory. Overall, our study underscores the crucial role of bacteria’s ability to acquire ferric ions within the tumor microenvironment for effective cancer therapy.
Jointly looking to the past and the future in visual working memory
Authors: Liu Baiwei , Alexopoulou Zampeta-Sofia , van Ede Freek
Published: May 2024

Working memory enables us to bridge past sensory information to upcoming future behaviour. Accordingly, by its very nature, working memory is concerned with two components: the past and the future. Yet, in conventional laboratory tasks, these two components are often conflated, such as when sensory information in working memory is encoded and tested at the same location. We developed a task in which we dissociated the past (encoded location) and future (to-be-tested location) attributes of visual contents in working memory. This enabled us to independently track the utilisation of past and future memory attributes through gaze, as observed during mnemonic selection. Our results reveal the joint consideration of past and future locations. This was prevalent even at the single-trial level of individual saccades that were jointly biased to the past and future. This uncovers the rich nature of working memory representations, whereby both past and future memory attributes are retained and can be accessed together when memory contents become relevant for behaviour.
Comment on 'Accumbens cholinergic interneurons dynamically promote dopamine release and enable motivation'
Authors: Taniguchi James , Melani Riccardo , Chantranupong Lynne , Wen Michelle J , Mohebi Ali , Berke Joshua D , Sabatini Bernardo L , Tritsch Nicolas X
Published: May 2024

Acetylcholine is widely believed to modulate the release of dopamine in the striatum of mammals. Experiments in brain slices clearly show that synchronous activation of striatal cholinergic interneurons is sufficient to drive dopamine release via axo-axonal stimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. However, evidence for this mechanism in vivo has been less forthcoming. Mohebi, Collins and Berke recently reported that, in awake behaving rats, optogenetic activation of striatal cholinergic interneurons with blue light readily evokes dopamine release measured with the red fluorescent sensor RdLight1 (Mohebi et al., 2023). Here, we show that blue light alone alters the fluorescent properties of RdLight1 in a manner that may be misconstrued as phasic dopamine release, and that this artefactual photoactivation can account for the effects attributed to cholinergic interneurons. Our findings indicate that measurements of dopamine using the red-shifted fluorescent sensor RdLight1 should be interpreted with caution when combined with optogenetics. In light of this and other publications that did not observe large acetylcholine-evoked dopamine transients in vivo, the conditions under which such release occurs in behaving animals remain unknown.

Published: May 2024

A atual situação estabelecida pela escassez de recursos naturais não renováveis para a geração de energia, associada com a tendência mundial em buscar o desenvolvimento sustentável, impulsionaram a ascensão e busca por fontes e recursos energéticos alternativos. Alinhada com essa tendência se destaca a energia solar, a qual é produzida a partir da radiação solar e caracterizada como uma fonte profusa, renovável, sustentável e limpa. Essa pode ser utilizada em processo térmico para aquecimento e/ou em sistema do tipo solar fotovoltaico para geração de eletricidade. Decorrente das vantagens que estão relacionadas com a utilização desses sistemas é possível expandir as aplicações nos diversos segmentos da sociedade, sendo que a implantação de sistema para gerar eletricidade com o uso dessa tecnologia requer a instalação de um ou mais arranjos de módulos fotovoltaicos. Durante a fase de instalação em campo, esses módulos podem ser submetidos aos diferentes tipos de solicitações mecânicas, as quais possuem o potencial e a capacidade de causar desconformidades no seu funcionamento, estabelecendo uma situação na qual é necessário realizar retrabalhos, o que impacta em custo, tempo e qualidade. Para minimizar as consequências dessas desconformidades, testes operacionais podem ser realizados nesses módulos antes de sua instalação em campo, a fim de verificar a integridade dos mesmos. Nesse contexto, este trabalho propõe uma arquitetura para sistema realizar automaticamente os testes operacionais em módulos fotovoltaicos antes da fase de instalação em campo. A validação dessa arquitetura é realizada por meio de testes práticos em protótipo desenvolvido para esse fim. Os resultados obtidos nesses testes foram positivos, sugerindo que a arquitetura proposta é adequada para a finalidade a qual se destina.

The most prevalent form of blood cell is the red blood cell. RBCs resemble biconcave discs with a 7.8 mm diameter and a thickness of about 2.2 mm. There are two ways that erythrocytes can be used as carriers: Targeting a specific tissue or organ, for continuous or extended medication release. For the delivery of medications, various kinds of mammalian erythrocytes have been employed. There are numerous techniques, including the hypo-osmotic method, the dilution method, the dialysis method, the press well method, the isotonic osmotic lyses, the electrical breakdown method, the endocytosis method, the membrane perturbation method, the normal transport method, and the lipid fusion method. After erythrocytes have been loaded with the therapeutic drug, carrier cells are subjected to physical, cellular, and biological examinations. Several invitro tests have shown the value of carrier RBCs. The RBC mediated microinjection that occurs most frequently invitro. Today, a wide range of uses for resealed erythrocytes as medication carriers, enzyme replacement treatment, etc. have been proposed.
Mitigating Challenges to Effective Management of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)
Authors: Nwangene Nkiruka Lauretta
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) refers to the collective effects of prolonged physical and cognitive impairments and mental health problems during or after the stay in intensive care unit (ICU). PICS significantly affect patients’ quality of life and ability to return to their normal routines. The challenges of PICS have become more pervasive since the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to examine the challenges to effective management of PICS and suggest tangible ways of addressing them so as to reduce the prevalence of PICS, and improve on patients’ wellbeing, quality of life and satisfaction with care services.
Methods: The descriptive survey is employed to make a brief systematic review of selected 2019—2024 literatures on PICS, the challenges, and the measures for managing the challenges effectively.
Results: There is a consensus on lack of awareness and inability to recognize the condition among healthcare professionals; the difficulty of predicting and managing the long-term effects of PICS; the significant emotional toll of PICS on patients and their families; and the fragmentation of healthcare systems, which together constrain effective management of PICS.
Conclusion: To attain effective management of PICS, a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, which can address cognitive, physical, and psychological aspects of the condition, has to be adopted. Resorting to a meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals, widespread awareness about PICS, the symptoms, and the need for early interventions would guarantee patients’ attainment of maximal outcomes and improved quality of life.
Sentiment Analysis by Hierarchical Deep Neural Networks for Audience Opinion Mining
Authors: Hashemi Hilda , Hashemi Hooman
Published: May 2024

The prominent applications of sentiment analysis encompass various fields, including marketing, customer service, and communication. The conventional bag-of-words approach for measuring sentiment only counts term frequencies, while neglecting the position of the terms within the discourse. As a remedy, this research aims to build a discourse-aware approach upon the discourse structure of documents. For this purpose, rhetorical structure theory (RST) is utilized to label (sub-) clauses according to their hierarchical relationships, and then polarity scores are assigned to individual leaves. To learn from the resulting rhetorical structure, a hierarchical category structure-based deep recurrent neural network is proposed to infer underlying tensors of salient passages of narrative materials to process the complete discourse tree. The significance of this study lies in enhancing the structure of exploding and vanishing gradients in deep recurrent neural networks and also improving evaluation criteria in text analysis using the structure of opinion mining. The proposed approach is RST-HRNN. Exploding gradients is a process in the backpropagation stage aimed at continuously sampling the gradient of the model parameter in the opposite direction based on the weight (w), which is continuously updated until reaching the minimum global function.

This study identified the synergistic effect of NPK, Borax, ZnSO4 and MgSO4 with different concentrations on the postharvest quality and shelf life of strawberry stored at ambient conditions. This study was conducted in completely randomized Block design. Strawberry fruits were treated with different concentration of NPK, Borax, ZnSO4 and MgSO4 and stored at ambient temperature for 4 days. Changes in fruit’s physiological loss of weight, firmness, total soluble solid, titrable acidity, and ascorbic acid were periodically recorded. The results indicated that the treatment T8 (NPK @0.5% + Borax @0.25% + Znso4 @0.25%+ Mgso4  @0.25%) significantly reduced the decrease of physiological loss of weight, total soluble solids, titrable acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, non- reducing sugar and total sugar content. The results showed that treatment T8 (NPK @0.5% + Borax @0.25% + Znso4 @0.25%+ Mgso4 @0.25%) is the most effective treatment for improving the postharvest quality and prolong the shelf life of strawberry when stored at ambient condition.
