Pendidikan kristen dalam keluarga bertujuan untuk mengajarkan tentang hubungan antara manusia dengan Tuhan serta ciptaan-Nya. Pendidik kristen dalam keluarga,sekolah, dan tempat ibadah tanpa dibatasi oleh ruang dan waktu. Pendidikan kristen dalam keluarga mengajarkan tentang kehidupan yang nyata kepada anak-anak, agar anak-anak mengerti tentang kehidupan ini. Pendidikan Kristen dalam keluarga sangat penting diterapkan oleh orang tua di zaman sekarang. Salah satu peran Pendidikan Kristen dalam keluarga saat ini adalah mengupayakan kerja sama ayah dan ibu dalam mendidik anak dalam membentuk perilaku karakter anak. Oleh karena itu keluarga merupakan lingkungan yang paling utama dalam pembentukan karakter anak. Oleh karena itu peran orang tua sangat penting. Jadi dalam keluarga peran orang tua bukan hanya anak belajar dan mengalami pertumbuhan di dalam keluarga, tetapi seluruh angota keluarga dapat saling belajar dari yang lain. Akan tetapi semuanya itu tidak lepas dari keteladanan orang tua dalam mengajarkan perilaku karakter yang baik kepada anaknya dalam keluarga.

Perjumpaan Injil Dan Budaya Toraja Dalam Konteks Terjamahan Sura' Madatu
Authors: Gantina
Published: May 2022

In Toraja culture, people in general only know Aluk Todolo or known as the religion of the ancestors of the Toraja people. Aluk Todolo was accepted by the first human ancestors in the form of provisions and rules of life which is known as Aluk allusion. A work that is translated from the holy book into Sura Madatu which allows people to understand the meaning of the gospel so that the character of the new human/society can be actualized in the life of the Toraja people. At this time, christianity is christianity as a religion followed by the majority of the toraja people which affects the existence of Aluk todolo so that people's empowerment is empowered. Those who believe in Aluk Todolo have begun to decrease with the encounter of the bible through the translation of the Holy Book into the Toraja language known as Sura' Madatu .
Dunia Roh (Idea) Dalam Teologi Paulus
Authors: Attu Juliati
Published: May 2022

Roh adalah sebuah unsur yang tidak bisa kita buktikan secara empiric. Roh bersifat non-materi yang tidak bisa kita lihat secara langsung dengan menggunakan alat indrawi, namun bisa dipahami kepercayaan dan iman. Roh Filsafat Kant merupakan satu campuran sekaligus akhir rasionaliseme dan empiriseme. Filsafat Kant membahas tentang idealisme. Menerut Imanuel Kant idealism adalah aliran filsafat yang menekankan idea (dunia roh) sebagai objek pengertian dan sumber pengetahuan. Idea itu terpisah dari alam atau kenyataan, dan merupakan sumber asal dari segala sesuatu. Idealisme juga berpandangan bahwa segala sesuatu dilakukan manusia tidaklah selalu berkaitan dengan hal-hal lahiriah, tetapi harus berdasarkan prinsip kerohanian (idea). Maka dari itu idealisme sangat mementingkan perasaan dan fantasi manusia sebagai sember pengetahuan.
Pola kepemimpinan: Iman atau Kepemimpinan Otoriter
Authors: Milgasrial
Published: May 2022

Artikel ini membahas tentang pola kepemimpinan dalam Gereja yang mengacu pada dua hal pokok dasar dalam melayani yaitu mengembangkan iman setiap orang atau hanya berpacu pada sistem kepemimpinan Gereja yang serta merta menguntungkan suatu komunitas atau kelompok tertentu. Dalam menganalisa persoalan ini,maka metode yang akan digunakan adalah metode kualitatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana seorang pemimpin dalam pelayannya, apakah dalam tugas pelayanan melakukan hal yang sama yang dilakukan Yesus dan meneladani pola pelayanan Yesus atau justru melakukan pelayanan hanya sebatas karena taat pada aturan gerejawi dan sudah berada pada posisi terikat pada sebuah aturan. Dengan analisa ini maka kita di tuntun untuk menunjukkan sampai dimana kekuatan para pemimpin gereja gereja masa kini dalam menghadapi masalah ini dengan mengetahui jati diri kita yang sesungguhnya dalam mewujudkan salah satu bagian penting panggilan gereja. Selain itu Gereja juga menuntun orang banyak untuk lebih mengetahui ajaran yang sebenarnya bukan atas dasar kepintaran manusia tetapi mutlak dari Allah.
“MAKNA MEMBERIKAN PERSEMBAHAN YANG BENAR DILIHAT DARI PERSEMBAHAN SEORANG JANDA MISKIN DALAM KITAB MARKUS 12:4 – 44”
Authors: Bunna Marliani
Published: May 2022

Tujuan dari penulisan ini ialah untuk menguraikan makna dari memberikan persembahan yang benar dilihat dari persembahan seorang janda sebagaimana dalam kitab Markus 12:4-44. Dengan melihat realita atau keadaan yang terjadi banyak orang yang memberikan persembahan dengan tidak ikhlas atau hanya sebagai bentuk rutinitas yang dijalankan tanpa memaknai persembahan yang benar kepada Tuhan seperti yang dilakukan oleh seorang janda miskin dalam kitab Markus 12:4-44. Dalam tulisan ini penulis menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dimana pendekatan kualitatif memuat fenomena atau kejadian yang diamati oleh penulis yang kemudian dipaparkan dalam bentuk kata-kata. Sehingga pendekatan ini memposisikan penulis sebagai instrumen kunci dalam tulisan ini. Dengan pendekatan ini penulis akan memperoleh data mengenai kurangnya pemaknaan bagi anggota jemaat tentang makna dari memberikan persembahan.

A single nucleotide variant on chromosome 12 residing within TMBIM4 distinguishes patients with luminal B breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2022

Molecular subtypes including luminal subtypes A and B drive patient outcomes in human breast cancer but the biological basis for this is not completely understood (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors of each breast cancer molecular subtype. We identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs1168744, residing within TMBIM4, as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with luminal B breast cancer. In a separate cohort of patients with luminal B subtype breast cancer, we observed transcriptome-wide differential expression of a TMBIM4 transcript. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that TMBIM4 primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in human breast cancer. Sequence variation in the TMBIM4 gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of luminal B subtype human breast cancer.
KOMUNITAS KEBUDAYAAN TORAJA DALAM RITUAL MA’TADA DAN IMPLIKASINYA BAGI MASYARAKAT KRISTEN
Authors: Elentika
Published: May 2022

Kajian dalam tulisan ini membahas tentang kebudayaan Toraja yang masih sangat kental dilakukan hingga sekarang ini. Mereka bertumbuh dan berkembang secara tradisional dengan norma dan juga tatanan sosial yang melahirkan entitas budaya serta identitasnya. Bagi orang Toraja baik kelompok tradisional maupun kaum modernis, kadangkala pencarian jati diri mereka berkaitan langsung dengan teritori kampung dan juga Tongkonan Rumah adat. Jadi sebagian orang Toraja Tongkonan itulah yang menjadi pembandingan atau penentu sebuah kapasitas individu itu sendiri.1 Seperti halnya dengan Ritual Ma’tada’ yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat yang berada pada satu kampung sebagai wujud pengabdian dan rasa komunitasnya antar sesama, namun dapat ditinjau bahwa itu juga mempengaruhi masyarakat Kristen sekarang ini, dimana satu pihak loyal dalam melakukan tradisi dari turun temurun dan menghargai para leluhur, namun di sisi lain menyimpang dari ajaran Kristen tentang menyembah hal duniawi yang bukan Allahnya. Hal inilah yang banyak ditemui, bahwa yang menjadi fakta tentang iman kita untuk lebih percaya kepada Allah dibandingkan dengan dewa-dewa, lebih dominan diperoleh justru melalui budaya. Dan secara konkrit lebih banyak melalui keteladanan dan interaksi antar individu.

Preliminary Findings from a Collaborative Storytelling Program on Life Participation and Communication among Persons with Aphasia
Authors: Mohapatra Bijoyaa , Mohan Ranjini
Published: May 2022

Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a remotely delivered collaborative storytelling program based on the TimeslipsTM approach in persons with aphasia (PWA). The program aims to improve social interaction, communication, and participation through a guided experience. Methods: Six PWA of mild-moderate severity and of fluent and nonfluent types participated in the program twice a week for seven weeks. They collaboratively created 28 free-form stories from staged pictures. PWA were tested pre- and post-treatment on several validated outcome measures representing each of the Living with Aphasia: Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) domains. PWA self-rated on group therapeutic factors and program satisfaction scales. To assess the benefits of the program, the results were analysed for clinical significance (reliable change index) and meaningfulness for each of the outcome measures.Results: Comparison between pre- and post-test scores yielded clinical significance among all participants on at least one A-FROM domain and most participants improved on communication confidence, functional communication, and overall language abilities. All participants’ ratings of perceived group therapeutic factors and satisfaction with the program were high. Conclusions: The findings provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of a collaborative storytelling program for PWA. Such a program may have an important place in aphasia rehabilitation in improving psychosocial and communication deficits through engagement in creative arts. Large-scale studies with rigorous mixed-methods designs are needed to build on the present findings.Key words: group therapy, reliable change index, TimeSlips, functional communication, life participation
Psychological distance to science as a predictor of science skepticism across domains
Authors: Većkalov Bojana , Zarzeczna Natalia , McPhetres Jonathon , van Harreveld Frenk , Rutjens Bastiaan T
Published: May 2022

The current paper presents and tests psychological distance to science (PSYDISC) as a domain-general predictor of science skepticism. Drawing on the concept of psychological distance, PSYDISC reflects the extent to which individuals perceive science as a tangible undertaking conducted by people similar to oneself (social), with effects in the here (spatial) and now (temporal), and as useful and applicable in the real world (hypothetical distance). In six studies (2 preregistered; total N = 1,630) and two countries, we developed and established the factor structure and validity of a scale measuring PSYDISC. Crucially, higher PSYDISC predicted skepticism beyond established predictors, across science domains. A final study showed that PSYDISC shapes real-world behavior (COVID-19 vaccination uptake). The current work thus provides a novel tool to predict science skepticism, as well as a construct that can help to further develop a unifying framework to understand science skepticism across domains.
Intolerance of uncertainty is associated with heightened arousal during extinction learning and retention: Preliminary evidence from a clinical sample with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders
Authors: Morriss Jayne , Rodriguez-Sobstel Claudia , Steinman Shari
Published: May 2022

Background: Uncertainty-related distress is considered a hallmark of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD). Previous research in community samples has demonstrated that individuals with high Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU), the tendency to find uncertainty aversive, display altered threat extinction learning and retention. Methods: Here, we conducted an exploratory secondary analysis of an existing dataset (Steinman et al., 2022) to examine the extent to which IU in a clinical sample with anxiety and OCD predicts threat extinction learning and retention. Participants with an anxiety disorder and/or OCD completed a differential threat learning task across two days (n = 27). Skin conductance response (SCR) was used as an index of conditioned responding. Results: No significant effects of self-reported IU were observed for differential SCR during any of the experimental phases. However, higher self-reported IU, while controlling for trait anxiety, was specifically associated with greater SCR overall during same-day extinction training, next-day extinction training, and next-day reinstatement test. Conclusions: Such findings provide preliminary evidence that higher IU within clinical samples with anxiety and/or OCD may be associated with heightened arousal under uncertainty, and highlight IU as a promising treatment target for anxiety and OCD.
Eye Movement Traces of Linguistic Knowledge
Authors: Berzak Yevgeni , Levy Roger Philip
Published: May 2022

Eye movements in reading offer a rich, detailed picture of how language understanding unfolds in real time. Decades of research have demonstrated the sensitivity and quantitative functional form of how readers' eye movements are influenced by the linguistic characteristics of the words being read and their relationship with context. However, most of this work has examined only reading by native (L1) speakers, even though much of the world's population is multilingual, and non-native (L2) reading is a ubiquitous everyday activity. Here we present an analysis of eye movements in reading in a dataset containing a large and linguistically diverse sample of English L2 readers, including a quantitative characterization of the shape of the relationship between linguistic word properties and eye movements, and how this relationship relates to the reader's independently measured L2 proficiency. Our key result is that while many of the same qualitative effects are found in L2 readers as in L1 readers, we also find a ``lexicon-context tradeoff'' that is sensitive to a reader's L2 proficiency. L2 readers' eye movements are generally less sensitive to a word's relationship with its context and more sensitive to the word's intrinsic properties. However, the most proficient L2 readers' eye movements approach an L1 pattern. This tradeoff supports an experience-dependent account of the speed and efficiency with which context-driven expectations can be deployed in L2 language processing, with a proficiency driven gradual shift away from lexicon-dependent processing and towards contextual processing.
Social bonds are related to health behaviours and positive wellbeing globally
Authors: Tuncgenc Bahar , van Mulukom Valerie , Newson Martha
Published: May 2022

At times of turmoil – such as during natural disasters, social crises, or pandemics – our social bonds can be key to receiving support and gaining certainty about the right course of action. In an analysis combining two global datasets (N= 13,264) collected during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examined how social bonds with close social circles (i.e., family, friends) and extended groups (i.e., country, government, humanity) relate to engagement in health behaviours and psychological wellbeing. Results revealed that only family bonding was associated with self-reported engagement in health behaviours. Being strongly bonded with both close circles and extended groups predicted less anxiety and depression, and better wellbeing, particularly for those who were bonded with more groups. These findings highlight that close and extended social bonds offer different sources of support and direction during the most challenging of circumstances, and that continuous investment is needed to forge and maintain both.
Towards consistent reporting of sample characteristics in studies investigating the biological mechanisms of romantic love [Reviewed version published in Frontiers in Pscyhology]
Authors: Bode Adam , Kowal Marta
Published: May 2022

In this non-systematic review, we consider the sample reporting practices of 43 studies up to and including 2021 investigating the biological mechanisms of romantic love (i.e., 32 neuroimaging studies, nine endocrinological studies, one genetics study, and one combined neuroimaging and genetics study). We summarize how they report sex/gender, age, romantic love, relationship duration/ time in love, and sample descriptors. We then outline the case for promoting comparability and the ability to determine generalizability in future studies. We conclude by presenting ideas about how best to report sex, age, romantic love characteristics, relationship status, relationship duration, time in love, type of unrequited love, sexual activity, cultural characteristics, student status, and method-relevant descriptors. If our ideas are adopted, in part or in whole, we expect the comparability of studies to increase. Adopting our ideas will also make it easier to make an assessment of the generalizability of findings.
Transformasi Budaya Lokal Pembangun Karakter

Pada dasarnya budaya dilahirkan oleh manusia sendiri, yang berkembang dan diwariskan antar generasi baik antar individu maupun kelompok. budaya yang berkembang dipengaruhi oleh individu yang memiliki keinginan untuk mengalami perubahan dari yang biasa saja menjadi luar biasa. Perkembangan budaya dapat dilihat dari berbagai aspek nilai budaya, seperti nilai ketuhanan, kemanusiaan, kehidupan, spiritual, moral, sosial, hingga intelektual. Perubahan dalam budaya tidak serta merta segala perubahan yang berasal dari luar, diterima tanpa difilter terlebih dahulu. Dewasa ini banyak sekali individu yang dengan cepat menerima dan mengetahui adanya perubahan dalam budaya, namun dengan gamblang pula melupakan budaya yang dari awal menjadi jati diri mereka. Perubahan budaya sangat mempengaruhi berbagai aspek nilai. Terutama pada era sekarang banyak sekali perubahan, yang apabila tidak disaring, akan membuat seseorang melupakan jati dirinya sendiri. Tampak jelas dari sikap individu era sekarang, kurang mengetahui budaya lokalnya sendiri, cenderung mengetahui dan mendalami budaya luar yang sebenarnya bukan jati diri mereka. Memang tidak ada salahnya mengenal perubahan budaya terutama yang berasal dari luar, sebagai penambah pengetahuan secara luas. Namun, alangkah bijak untuk tidak melupakan budaya lokal tanah air mereka.

Authors: Abidin Zainal
Published: May 2022

Program pemerataan dan peningkatan kualitas pendidikan belum menampakkan hasil seperti yang diharapkan. Jumlah anak usia pendidikan dasar yang berada di luar sistem pendidikan nasional masih sangat besar. Selain itu, kualitas pendidikan masih rendah yang menyebabkan teknologi, khususnya di bidang informasi dan komunikasi cenderung terhambat. Pembentukan pendidikan karakter serta budaya dalam diri peserta didik masih menjadi masalah utama dalam membentuk diri siswa menjadi manusia Indonesia. Sebab menjadi manusia Indonesia tidak hanya memiliki kemampuan dalam religi, tetapi juga pada kebudayaan. Menjadi masyarakat yang baik serta berguna bagi bangsa dan negara didasarkan pada nilai nilai-nilai sosial tertentu, yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh budaya masyarakat dan bangsanya. Pendidikan karakter berpijak dari karakter dasar manusia, yang bersumber dari nilai moral universal (bersifat absolut) yang disebut sebagai kaidah emas (the golden rule).

Determination of Manning's Roughness Coefficient in Bijayapur Irrigation Canal, Kaski, Nepal
Authors: Gautam Arjun
Published: May 2022

The discharge in irrigation canal is to be determined for the proper allocation of water to the fields as per the crop-water requirement. Manning’s roughness coefficient is one of the major important parameters for estimating discharge in open channel. The purpose of this research is to determine Manning’s roughness coefficient in open channel flow by means of measuring velocity, cross-section, bed slope using Manning’s equation. It also discusses how it varies along with various aspects of channel geometry and draws useful conclusion from the analysis. The investigation was carried out in the Bijayapur Irrigation System which is situated in Kaski district of Nepal. The velocity was measured using current-meter and discharge was calculated from the area velocity methods. Roughness coefficient was calculated using the Manning’s equations for the uniform flow in open channel. The average value of Manning’s roughness coefficient at Sakneri and Bijayapur computed from this study was found 0.028 and 0.037, respectively. The roughness coefficient, however, being a parameter representing the integrated effects of the channel cross-sectional resistance, the result of this study shows the higher value of roughness coefficient for the material (cement rubble masonry) used in the construction of canal. The higher value of roughness coefficient might be due to uneven bed and poor condition of banks as observed during the study. The greater value of roughness coefficient definitely reduces discharge which leads to the tail end deprivation in the command area.
Ponds’ Water Quality Analysis and Impact of Heavy Metals on Fishes’ Body
Authors: Ndayisenga J.D. , Dusabe S.
Published: May 2022

The anthropogenic activities have caused increase in the aquatic heavy metals pollution. The higher concentration of heavy metals in fish’s body also affects the consumers as it reaches to human body through the food chain. This study was conducted to analyze the ponds’ water quality based on physicochemical parameters and nutrients in relation to the dissolved heavy metals accumulated in the fishes’ body by using R programing. In this study, the heavy metals bio-accumulated from barrage pond and diversions ponds was analysed. Kigembe, Nyamagana, Rwasave fertilized and Rwasave non-fertilized ponds were purposively chosen for the study. The water sample was analysed using HACH DR5000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer to measure Ammonium-Nitrogen, Nitrate-Nitrogen, Phosphates and Total Phosphorus at Chemistry Department’s Laboratory of University of Rwanda. While after filtration of water samples using Whatman filter papers, heavy metals including Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, Cd, Cr and Pb were determined using ICP-MS 7900. The analysis of physicochemical parameters showed that the temperature, pH, Conductivity, Turbidity and TDS were within the permissible limit of ponds’ water (20-300C, 6.5-9, less than 1000 µs/cm, 30-60 NTU and less than 2000 mg/L respectively) quality for all the sites except Rwasave fishponds, where lower pH was observed. The nutrients level in these ponds were low comparing to the standard limit. The assessed heavy metals were Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr and Pb whose concentrations analyzed in water were within permissible limit of 0.3ppm, 1ppm, 0.1ppm, 3ppm, 0.003ppm, 0.5ppm and 0.01ppm respectively while heavy metals bio-accumulated were within the permissible limit of 0.1ppm, 1ppm, 0.05ppm, 5ppm, 0.05ppm, 0.05ppm and 0.05ppm respectively for all the sites except for both dissolved and bio-accumulated Fe and Mn concentration which were high for all sites. The highest level of heavy metals concentration was obtained in particular Fe and Mn. This shows that there is urgent need of continuous water quality analysis within the ponds for maintaining the favorite conditions for fish. The water quality monitoring will help the farmers to create the safe aquatic environment for fishes and improve their production output.

Published: May 2022

Technologies for conversion of waste solid materials to liquid fuel and bio-crude oil have been researched widely for the production of renewable energy as substitute to fossil fuel oil. However, ash composition of biomass affects the pyrolysis process and the bio-crude oil product has unsatisfactory properties compared to conventional petroleum oil, such as, low heating value, high viscosity, corrosiveness, and the presence of oxygenated compound which causes bio oil ageing. This paper investigated the total waste materials; corn cobs and paper sludge obtained in municipal areas of Abuja, Nigeria, employed in pyrolysis of demineralized corn cobs and the upgrade of crude bio oil via thermal cracking using zeolite prepared from waste paper sludge, with expectation to improve bio oil properties. Demineralization of corn cob removed most of the ash content of biomass allowing for pyrolysis process. The prepared zeolite with mesoporous cage-like crystals analyzed using SEM was able to effectively catalyze thermal cracking of the crude bio oil and reduce the quantity of less desired high molecular weight oxygenated compounds. The bio oil chemical composition obtained from GC-MS analysis indicated the bio oil consisted of oxygenated compounds and hydrocarbons such as aliphatic hydrocarbons (28.768%), alcohols (-0.001%), amines (10.472%), carboxylic acids (0.144), phenols (0.047%), and esters (60.57 %), which significantly influenced the bio oil properties. The physical and chemical properties of the corn cob bio oil was determined for density (0.852 ± 0.03), viscosity (1.66 ± 0.01), cloud point (-34.0 ± 0.02) and calorific value (30.9 ± 0.01). With the exception of Flash point (58 ± 0.01) and acid value (13.1 ± 0.03). In comparison, the produced bio oil had properties likened to petroleum fraction of conventional gasoline than diesel. In conclusion, pyrolysis of corn cob and upgrade of the crude bio oil using prepared zeolite was found as a promising process in improving bio oil quality. The pyrolysis study has potential in the management of environmental wastes to help resolve the challenge of solid waste disposal.
Integrated Management of Construction and Demolition Waste as Key Factor of Urban Circular Economy
Authors: Elena Samourkasidou , Konstantinos Kitis , Giorgos Gkiouzepas
Published: May 2022

This paper has highlighted the importance of implementing a comprehensive action plan to promote the circular economy at municipal level using as a case study of the municipality of Kavala in the management of construction and demolition waste. There is a strong interest in this particular sector due to the significant building stock that requires demolition and also the pressures to the municipal waste management services due to the small-scale renovations of mainly short-term tourist accommodation. This study was conducted to understand the impact of an integrated strategic circular economy approach to urban sustainable development and resilience. To identify this correlation, the upper strategy was analyzed in its partial components and key pillars following the four-helix model while a link with the broader theoretical framework was formulated. Of particular added value is the underlining of the barriers and weaknesses identified during the planning process, which can act as a pilot in all corresponding Greek medium-sized cities. The results suggest that the integrated management of construction and demolition waste, which comprises actions at all distinct stages (raising awareness, planning, implementation and monitoring) have a positive impact on achieving the SDGs and in creating conditions for urban resilience. However, a quantitative assessment is recommended in order to evaluate through specific indicators when this strategy moves into the implementation phase.

Published: May 2022

Farmers have long considered urban agriculture as a panacea to urban food insecurity. However, growing food in cities is faced with many challenges like food contamination. Past studies on leafy vegetables focused on vegetables cultivated in urban centres. However, this paper aimed to determine and compare the level of heavy metals concentrations in soil and leafy vegetables in Urban Expressway Farms (UEF) and Peri-urban Road Farms (PRF) in Lagos, Nigeria. These two locations were purposefully selected. Soil Auger was used to drill holes to the required soil depth to collect soil samples. Sample of Amaranthus hybridus, Celosia argentea and Corchorus olitorius were collected using “envelope” principle. Pb, Cd and Mn residues in the samples were digested and determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The collected data were analysed using mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Variance. The mean pH value for UEF soil is 6.5 while PRF soil is 6.6. The highest Pb (0.93±0.06) was recorded in Celosia argentea at UEF. The highest mean concentration of Cd (0.51±0.11) was recorded in Amaranthus hybridus at UEF. The highest concentration for Mn was recorded in Amaranthus hybridus (0.98±0.02) at UEF. The concentrations of Pb in Celosia argentea at UEF 5 m from the expressway and Cd concentration in Amaranthus hybridus at 10 m from expressway were above the WHO/FAO permissible levels in vegetables. Level of heavy metal residue observed in soil and vegetables under this study were mostly influenced by the location of the farm-environment and not mainly the vegetable type.  The relative concentrations of Pb and Cd in all the three leafy vegetables raise some serious environmental concerns and need to be monitored regularly to prevent consumption of contaminated leafy vegetables. Farmers are encouraged to cultivate in fields far away from expressway.

Accurate measurement of the 3rd and 4th ventricles is important in cases of prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of suspected cranial anomalies. Ventricular dilation occurs with excess fluid in the embryologic ventricles during brain development, we make a comparative analysis of two case reports on a 23rd-week fetus and a 10-month-old neonate. Ultrasound findings related to horns and ventricular system through transfontanelle ultrasound (excluding any > 95th error margin and < 5th percentile) can be utilized for a specific diagnosis of ventricular dilation. Hydrocephalus is defined as the accumulation of excessive CSF resulting in dilation of the cerebrospinal compartment in the calvaria; which can be acquired or congenital in origin. Hydrocephalus can also be seen due to obstructed flow, faulty absorption, and overproduction of CSF (in the subarachnoid space) by a choroid plexus papilloma. The diameter of the anterior horn of the RT and LT (hydrocephalic) lateral ventricles measured 15.3mm and 14.1mm respectively, far above the threshold for normal (control) neonates / RT and LT (anterior) lateral ventricles averaging 2.40mm and 2.51mm. These documented findings indicate the excellent agreement between fetal brain sonography in the diagnosis of fetal ventriculomegaly (anterior horn/ 10.4mm) and dilation (combined 40.8mm). Mean Head Circumference (MHC) for neonatal hydrocephalus was 44.2cm far above the normal average of 36.7cm. When we assessed the clinical benchmark of 10mm or (>19mm) for the neonate ventricle, it was far above the normal range (greater than > 95th percentile value).

Primary spinal Schwannoma (PSS) remains uncommon nerve sheath tumor of the spine with male preponderance and presenting in fourth to fifth decades. They arise from the Schwann cells in sensory root as PSS or part of Neurofibromatosis 2.
This is a retrospective study of histopathologically confirmed cases of PSS treated between 2010 to 2021. They were operated and age, sex, clinic-radiological findings, surgical technique used and outcome studied. Laminectomy or laminoplasty or combined anterior-posterior approach was used with either an intracapsular or extracapsular tumor removal. Follow-up was at 15 days, 2 months, 6 months and yearly intervals.
There were 37 cases operated with age ranging from 16 to 81 years and majority in the 21–40-year group (40%) followed by 41 to 60 years (32%). There were 22 males and 15 females. Localized pain in the back or cervical region was the commonest finding (75%) followed by myelopathy in 38%, radiculopathy in 35% and bladder disturbances in 13%. They were most common in the lumbar region (35%) followed by thoracic (30%). With relation to the level and sex, the cervical level showed equal sex distribution while the rest had male preponderance
PSS although can frequently present to the spine surgeon and the diagnosis is clinched with help of an MRI. Surgery remains the main modality of treatment either by laminectomy, laminoplasty or minimal invasive spine surgery. The nerve root of origin must be preserved in all that can be aided with help of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
The Challenging State of University Campus and Library Open Access Policies
Authors: Johnson Paula C. , Dubinsky Ellen
Published: May 2022

Introduction: This study investigates whether United States university libraries’ commitment to increasing open access (OA) to scholarly outputs as demonstrated by their support of campus level OA policies translates into adoption of OA policies that apply specifically to library employees. Method: This mixed-methods study used an anonymous survey and optional open-ended interviews of schol arly communications librarians at Carnegie Classification Doctoral Universities (Very High Research [R1] and High Research [R2]) to gather information about OA policies or statements at their institutions and/or within their libraries. Results & Discussion: Variation in campus culture and governance structure meant the path from creation to adoption to implementation of a campus and/or library OA policy was similarly varied. The research reveals librarians’ motivations for and contributions to advancement of OA on their campuses, and sometimes also within their libraries. Conclusion: Many of the rationales driving adoption of campus OA policies similarly drive adoption of library-specific OA policies. Those surveyed whose institutions did have library-based OA policies referenced both the importance of leading by example and alignment with institutional mission and values.
Physics of the tau lepton
Authors: Portoles Jorge
Published: May 2022

Within our present knowledge, the tau is the heaviest lepton and the only one decaying into hadrons, a fact that makes it the source of a very rich phenomenology. It represents the third family of leptons in the Standard Model, a feature that helps its classification but whose real meaning is not asserted yet. The tau lepton provides: i) a clean and unique environment to study both the hadronization of QCD currents, in an energy region populated by resonances, and the phenomenological determination of relevant parameters of the Model; ii) together with the muon, they have a very constrained flavour dynamics (in the absence of neutrino masses) due to an accidental global symmetry of the Standard Model. In consequence, the tau lepton brings an excellent benchmark for the study of QCD at low energies and, at the same time, for the search of new physics.
The first measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment from the Fermilab Muon g−2 collaboration
Authors: Tewsley-Booth Booth
Published: May 2022

This paper will cover the physics and methods behind Fermilab’s Muon g-2 Experiment, along with the long-awaited results from Run-1. The experiment was undertaken to resolve the tension between the Standard Model and the previous measurement taken at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The measured value of the muon magnetic anomaly is aµ(FNAL) = 116592040(54) × 10−11. This result is in good agreement with Brookhaven’s previous measurement. The new world average, aµ(Exp) = 116592061(41) × 10−11, shows a difference from the theoretical value of the Standard Model (SM), aµ(SM) = 116591810(43) × 10−11, of 4.2 standard deviations, strongly hinting at physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment requires the simultaneous measurement of the muon precession frequency, the magnetic field, and the muons’ distribution in the field. All three of these measurements will be discussed in context, along with the main systematic corrections and uncertainties.
The Interurban Network of Criminal Collaboration in Canada
Authors: Carrington Peter J. , Graham Alexander V.
Published: May 2022

The interurban network of criminal collaboration in Canada is described, and possible explanations for its structure are explored. The data include all police-reported co-offences in the 32 major cities of Canada during 2006–09. Component analysis and graph drawings in network space and in geospace elucidate the structure of the network. Quadratic assignment procedure multiple regressions, repeated separately on the networks of instrumental and noninstrumental co-offences, test hypotheses about possible determinants of the network structure. The cities form one connected component, containing two clusters connected by a link between Toronto and Vancouver. One cluster, centred on the triad of Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, comprises the cities in Ontario and Quebec, with weak links to cities in the Atlantic provinces. The other cluster, centred on Vancouver, comprises the cities in the four western provinces. The structure is strongly correlated with the residential mobility of the general population, which in turn is strongly correlated with intercity distances. The correlation with mobility is less strong for instrumental than for noninstrumental crimes. The structure of this co-offending network can be explained by criminals’ routine activities, namely ordinary residential mobility, but the alternative explanation of purposive interurban criminal collaboration is more plausible for instrumental crime.
Zrozumienie wskaźnika RRSO oraz jego rola w decyzjach kredytowych studentów – wyniki badania ankietowego
Authors: Redo Magdalena , Prewysz-Kwinto Piotr
Published: May 2022

Wyniki badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego wiosną 2021 r. wśród 625 studentów toruńskich uczelni wyższych pozwalają stwierdzić, że RRSO (Rzeczywista Roczna Stopa Oprocentowania) jest miernikiem znanym i wykorzystywanym do oceny kosztu kredytu przez osoby go zaciągające (72% wszystkich ankietowanych studentów rozpoznaje wskaźnik, a 86% studentów, którzy korzystali z produktów kredytowych, kierowało się jego poziomem podczas decyzji kredytowej). Podkreślić jednak należy, że wartość RRSO nie jest prawidłowo rozumiana, czego powodem może być skomplikowana formuła obliczania oraz wprowadzająca w błąd nazwa wskaźnika (tylko 15% respondentów trafnie rozumie, że RRSO ujmuje nie tylko odsetki, ale i pozaodsetkowe koszty kredytu oraz że RRSO jest podawane w ujęciu rocznym, co oznacza, że prawdziwy koszt przy krótszej pożyczce jest odpowiednio niższy). Co więcej, osoby zaciągające kredyt oczekują rzetelnego wyjaśnienia wartości RRSO, jednak większość pracowników instytucji kredytowych wydaje się tego nie robić, co może oznaczać, że również oni mogą mieć problem z właściwą interpretacją RRSO (spośród studentów, którzy zadeklarowali kontakt z pracownikiem instytucji finansującej przy zaciąganiu zobowiązania kredytowego, tylko 25% zostało w sposób przystępny i w pełni zrozumiały poinformowane o wartości informacyjnej zawartego w umowie poziomu wskaźnika, a aż 33% wskazało, że pracownik w ogóle nie podjął tematu poziomu RRSO). Powyższe wydaje się ważkim argumentem za zwiększeniem świadomości finansowej Polaków i koniecznością edukacji w tym obszarze od najmłodszych lat. Bez tego w sytuacji coraz łatwiejszej dostępności kredytów i pożyczek oraz coraz niższych stóp procentowych coraz więcej Polaków będzie popełniać błędne i ciążące na ich życiu decyzje finansowe.
