Hoplias malabaricus and Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus are Erythrinidae family widely distributed in the Amazon River system of great value to both commercial and subsistence fishing for riverine populations. As such, the objective of the present study was to investigate the endoparasite communities of H. malabaricus and H. unitaeniatus of a tributary of the Amazon River in the north of Brazil. The endoparasite communities of H. unitaeniatus and H. malabaricus were taxonomically similar (85%) and consisted of Clinostomum marginatum, Contracaecum sp., Guyanema seriei seriei, Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus, Pseudoproleptus sp. and Gorytocephalus spectabilis, although the dominant endoparasite was C. marginatum, which was the most prevalent and abundant. All the specimens of both H. malabaricus and H. unitaeniatus were parasitized, with a total of 1237 helminths collected in the former host and 1151 helminths collected in the latter. Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus possessed greater parasite species richness. Both hosts had an aggregate dispersion of parasites, and the abundance of C. marginatum, Contracaecum sp. and G. spectabilis correlated positively with the weight and length of the hosts. The condition factor was not affected by parasitism, but the abundance of C. marginatum and Contracaecum sp. increased when the condition factor of the hosts decreased. This is the first report of G. seriei seriei for H. malabaricus and Pseudoproleptus sp. for H. unitaeniatus.

Published: April 2018

Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations in Europe have declined through decades due to several, but not clear yet, factors. Parasite infections and diseases are some of the causes that directly affected the survival and breeding rates of animal population.

A study on the endoparasites of 70 hares (37 hunted free-living hares, and 33 bred on farms hares) was performed between 2015 - 2017 in the province of Grosseto (central Italy), an area where the impact of parasites in the hare population has never been investigated. During necroscopic analysis of hunted hares the following helminthes were found: Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (87.1 %), Passalurus ambiguus (12.9 %) and Andrya spp. (6.4 %) in the intestinal tract, Protostrongylus cuniculorum (8.3 %) in lungs and Dicrocoelium dendriticum (16.7 %) in livers. The prevalences of the intestinal helminthes in bred hares were: 12.1 % for Passalurus ambiguus and 3 % for Trichostrongylus retortaeformis. The coprological analysis showed prevalences of 64.9 % for coccidia in the 37 hunted hares and 45.5 % in the 33 bred hares. The relationship between the intensities of parasitic infections and body weight was evaluated.

The results of the present study in the Grosseto area indicate that free-living hares have few species of parasites and that the intensities of parasitic infection did not affect their general condition and health, suggesting that endoparasites played no detectable role in the dynamics of this hare population.

Published: April 2018

The zooplankton assemblage of selected wetlands of Assam, India was assessed to deduce the structural variation in the context of water quality parameters. A two year study between 2012 and 2014 comprising of 530 samples from the five wetlands revealed the presence of 46 taxa, 26 Rotifera, 15 Cladocera, 4 Copepoda and 1 Ostracoda, in varying density. The rotifers dominated in terms of abundance (48 ind. cm−3) followed by the cladocerans (28 ind. cm−3) and the copepods (19 ind. cm−3) and showed significant (p <0.05) correlations with turbidity, alkalinity, hardness and phosphate contents of the water samples. The diversity and the richness of the zooplankton showed an increasing trend with the water temperature. Among the different taxa, Brachionus sp. was most abundant followed by Mesocyclops sp. while Beauchampiella sp. was represented in the least numbers. Application of the cluster analysis allowed the segregation of the different zooplankton based on the similarities of abundance in the samples. The water quality parameters like temperature, alkalinity, turbidity, magnesium and calcium were observed to be significant contributors in shaping the zooplankton community composition of the wetlands, revealed through the correlations and canonical correspondence analysis. As an extension, the information can be used in monitoring the quality of the freshwater habitats of the concerned and similar geographical regions, using the zooplankton as the major constituents. The variations in the abundance of cladoceran, copepod and rotifer zooplanktons can be used to understand the mechanisms that sustain the food webs of the aquatic community of the freshwater bodies.
Changes in Chara hispida L. morphology in response to phosphate aluminium coagulant application
Authors: Rybak Michał , Joniak Tomasz
Published: April 2018

Progressing eutrophication of waterbodies requires measures to be undertaken that aim at halting or reversing negative changes in the environment. Chemical restoration is one of the most common methods used for lake treatment, where iron or aluminium phosphate coagulants are applied. However, their chemical qualities pose the risk of acidification and aluminium ion release, which become toxic in acidic conditions. The influence of coagulants on aquatic plants, including charophytes that are very valuable from the ecological perspective, is little recognised. For this reason, the aim of the research was to define changes in the growth pattern of the charophyte Chara hispida under the influence of an aluminium coagulant. The research was carried out in mesocosms (0.8 m3) located in situ in a lake. Polyaluminium chloride was applied once to each chamber in doses of 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 ml m−3. Coagulant concentrations reflected aggressive restoration aimed at precipitation of phosphates, suspension and water colour at the same time. It was proved that the coagulant had inhibited the growth and slightly reduced the length of branchlets, and simultaneously elongated internode cells. Changes in the total length as well as the length of branchlets were caused by a strong pH decrease of the environment which simultaneously induced higher aluminium solubility and toxicity. Elongation of internode cells was caused by reduced light availability, resulting from high water turbidity in the first stage of coagulant’s application, and then from the charophytes’ thallus being covered by a coagulated suspension precipitated from water.
Re-Shared Urban Space: New Actors and Processes in South American Cities
Authors: Czerny Mirosława
Published: April 2018

Following stormy debate regarding the role of globalisation and global space in development, geographical analyses are now tending to return to matters of place, and its role in people’s lives. Given that Latin America’s cities were founded by Europeans, one might expect them to be characterised by processes and phenomena similar to European experiences and general processes of globalisation today. In fact, however, specific socio-cultural features arising from both the colonial and pre-colonial past of this region, political factors (especially that reflecting the presence of powerful elites descended from the Spanish) and economic features (interest in the region’s resources being displayed by foreign investors) have all conspired to ensure that Latin America is characterised by a development trajectory distinct from those in other regions, as well as by contemporary structures in urbanised areas being shaped by diverse political and economic forces, mechanisms ever-present in the region’s culture and politics deriving from social stratification, strong regionalisms, and diversified economic potential and global relationships.

Published: April 2018

Background

Plasma EBV DNA concentrations at the time of diagnosis (pre-EBV) and post treatment (post-EBV) have significant value for predicting the clinical outcome of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients. However, the prognostic value of the EBV concentration during radiation therapy (mid-EBV) has not been vigorously studied.

Patients and methods

This was a post hoc analysis of 105 detectable pre-EBV NPC patients from a phase II/III study comparing sequential (SEQ) versus simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Plasma EBV DNA concentrations were measured by PCR before commencement of IMRT, at the 5th week of radiation therapy and 3 months after the completion of IMRT. The objective was to identify the prognostic value of mid-EBV to predict overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS).

Results

A median pre-EBV was 6880 copies/ml. Mid-EBV and post-EBV were detectable in 14.3% and 6.7% of the patients, respectively. The median follow-up time was 45.3 months. The 3-year OS, PFS and DMFS rates were 86.0% vs. 66.7% (p = 0.043), 81.5% vs. 52.5% (p = 0.006), 86.1% vs. 76.6% (p = 0.150), respectively, for those with undetectable mid-EBV vs. persistently detectable mid-EBV. However, in the multivariate analysis, only persistently detectable post-EBV was significantly associated with a worse OS (hazard ratio (HR) = 6.881, 95% confident interval (CI) 1.699-27.867, p = 0.007), PFS (HR = 5.117, 95% CI 1.562–16.768, p = 0.007) and DMFS (HR = 129.071, 95%CI 19.031–875.364, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Detectable post-EBV was the most powerful adverse prognostic factor for OS, PFS and DMFS; however, detectable mid-EBV was associated with worse OS, PFS especially Local-PFS (LPFS) and may facilitate adaptive treatment during the radiation treatment period.

Published: April 2018

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, which has shown an increasing incidence in the past decades. 7% of primary bone tumors consist of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The etiology of this type of lymphoma is still unclear. Our aim was to study the latest research papers; to highlight the importance of cooperation between different medical specialty departments, in rare cases like NHL as PBT with associated HBV infection.

Case report: We present the case of a 39-year-old male patient, who presented to the orthopedic department of the University Emergency Hospital of Bucharest, with moderate pain, swelling, and a palpable mass of the right lower limb.

Management and Outcome: The patient underwent several investigations, whose result was DLBCL and an associated HBV infection. Due to the aggressive form of DLBCL, chemotherapeutical treatment has to be initiated as soon as possible to prevent further growth of the tumor. An antiviral therapy had to be initiated to prevent the hepatic failure, which could appear after chemotherapy and in the acute phase of viral infection.

Discussion: Our case raised the question regarding what kind of relationship could be identified between the HBV infection and NHL, and how this condition influenced the outcome of the treatment.

Published: April 2018

One of the most common neoplasms in the world, ranking third, is the colorectal cancer. 96% of all cases of colorectal cancer are adenocarcinoma. The prognostic of this diagnostic is a bad one, with low 5-years survival rate. Although the most common locations for the metastases are the liver and the lungs, the bones can also be targeted (5.5%).

We present the case of a 65-year-old male who came to the hospital with pain and tumefaction at the right fibular head. After extensive clinical and paraclinical examinations, a biopsy was performed, at which stage the entire tumor was removed. The result was that of moderate differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was then further examined and a tumor was discovered at the sigmoid colon. The primary tumor was removed and the patient underwent oncological treatment. 2 years later, the patient returned with a recurrence of the bone metastasis. After a PET-CT that infirmed other metastases coupled with a satisfactory evolution of the primary tumor, the decision was made to amputate the knee above. Biopsy is an essential step that establishes the correct diagnostic and dictates the right choice of treatment solution. Counseling is also essential, so that the patient can choose and accept the best treatment option.
Challenges in treating pleomorphic bone sarcoma in elderly patients: a case report
Authors: Orlov Cristina , Nitipir Cornelia
Published: April 2018

Pleomorphic sarcomas or spindle cell sarcomas of the bone are rare malignant tumors that affect the adult. Fracture in the affected bone is the most frequent first symptom. Multimodal treatment is similar to the one for osteosarcoma, but the benefit is less evidence-based, due to the rarity of this sarcoma subtype. The present paper is a case report of a 73-year-old patient, who presented with a comminuted fracture of the distal third of the femur after a fall on ice. Differential diagnosis of bone metastasis was made. After the histopathological confirmation, the surgical team decided to amputate, with prior patient consent. The tumor was staged pT1NxMx, R0. Immunohistochemical studies confirmed the histopathological diagnosis. A lytic lesion in the stump bone appeared on post-operative MRI and was interpreted as skip metastasis. No other metastatic sites were detected. The multidisciplinary team decided for adjuvant chemotherapy (3 courses) and then radiotherapy. He was unable to receive the total planned dose of radiotherapy due to local toxicity. Even so, he is free of recurrence on long-term follow-up.

Myxofibrosarcoma or myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most common sarcomas of the limb. It is usually treated multimodally. Most frequent sites of metastasis are the bone, lung and lymph nodes. The present paper is a case report of a 65-year-old male with myxofibrosarcoma of the fibularis longus muscle, for which he first underwent surgery - tumor resection with appropriate margins. The tumor was staged pT2b cN0 cM0. Postoperative PET-CT revealed metabolically inactive pulmonary nodules. Two months after surgery, he underwent adjuvant radiotherapy, a total dose of 60 Gy and 6 courses of chemotherapy (doxorubicin and ifosfamide). Pulmonary nodules have been stationary on all subsequent imagistic studies. He is free of recurrence on long-term follow-up.

Published: April 2018

Leaders who have transformational, empowerment, and other positive characteristics positively affect the performance of employee creativity. This study aimed to confirm and clarify the influence of leadership on employee creativity through meta-analysis method. Thirty-two titles of articles with 33 studies used in the analysis, yielding correlation values that support the hypothesis (0.27). In a geographical perspective, there is no difference between the west and the east. This can be seen from the comparable correlation value of each 0.268 and 0.274. However, in a sectoral perspective, manufacturing firms have a more prominent correlation (0.322) than service firms or mixed (0.238 and 0.235). Different motivation factors need to be considered as the link between personal and contextual factors. Therefore, further research should be done to examine the role of different motivations in linking the leadership support on employee creativity.

Published: April 2018

A sociedade internacional moderna, desde a sua formação na Paz de Westfália (1648), foi se transformando e, passando a admitir, cada vez mais, a intervenção de diversas organizações internacionais. Deste modo, é possível perceber a importância e a necessidade da criação dessas organizações internacionais para a mediação dos conflitos universais e sua solução pacífica. É neste contexto que emerge a luta pela criação de uma corte internacional para tratar dos crimes mais graves cometidos contra a humanidade (incluído o crime de genocídio e o crime de agressão). Tal reivindicação se materializou com a adoção do Estatuto de Roma (1998). Assim sendo, o presente artigo analisa os contornos da sociedade internacional contemporânea e a necessidade de buscar a paz por meio do direito. Daí, portanto, a escolha de problematizar a iniciativa da criação do Tribunal Penal Internacional (TPI) e seu papel na construção de uma paz mundial duradoura e voltada à proteção dos direitos humanos. Para tanto, o método de abordagem utilizado foi o hipotético-dedutivo e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica.

La reforma a la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, en materia de derechos humanos publicada en el Diario Oficial de la Federación el 10 de junio de 2011, representó un marco normativo impostergable para remontar el atraso de varias décadas con respecto a otros estados constitucionales, dado que fortaleció el concepto de derechos humanos en la Constitución, así como la apertura del derecho internacional de las derechos humanos. Es considerada como la más importante en los últimos años, por diversas cuestiones; siendo una de ellas, el comienzo de la devolución a las personas de la apropiación de sus derecho, en virtud de que se elimina el otorgamiento a los individuos de las garantías individuales, para dar paso al reconocimiento a las personas de los derechos humanos consagrados en el mismo texto constitucional, así como en los tratados internacionales en materia de derechos humanos que el estado mexicano sea parte.
What Drives the Difference between Online and Official Price Indexes?
Authors: Faryna Oleksandr , Talavera Oleksandr , Yukhymenko Tetiana
Published: April 2018

This paper examines the associations between online price indexes and official statistics. First, we generate online CPI component sub-indexes, which are later aggregated to an Online Price CPI. This approach is applied to our unique dataset which contains about 3 million observations of online retail prices for consumer goods in Ukraine’s five largest cities. The data span over the period 2016m1 – 2017m12 and cover about 46% of Ukraine’s Consumer Price Inflation basket. We find that online inflation is generally consistent with official estimates, but the matching capability varies across sub-indexes. Although the differences can partially be explained by poor dataset coverage, we find that online prices may indeed represent new information that is not captured by official statistics.
Macroeconomic Effects of Introducing a Capital Conservation Buffer in the Ukrainian Banking Sector
Authors: Dadashova Pervin , Jonsson Magnus , Onyshchenko Hanna
Published: April 2018

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is planning to introduce a capital conservation buffer in the Ukrainian banking sector over a four-year period starting in 2020. This new regulation will yield long-term benefits by strengthening the resilience of the banks, which will reduce the likelihood and costs of financial crises. However, higher capital requirements in the form of a capital conservation buffer can also result in short-term costs by temporarily lowering output. In this study, we use a dynamic general equilibrium model calibrated to fit some long-term features of the Ukrainian economy to evaluate how different implementation strategies affect the short-term output loss. We show that the output loss can be reduced by preannouncing and gradually implementing the buffer, along the lines that have already been advanced by the NBU.

Published: April 2018

Stock investment is often regarded by investors as a green opportunity that is characterized by high rewards and its attendant risk. Consequently, investors are preoccupied with analysis and prediction of the future performance of stocks, and the direction and magnitude of future changes in the stock value. In this study, the Takagi-Sugueno-Kang - Fuzzy Rule Based System (TSK-FRBS) was used to analyzed the trend of stocks using historical data gathered over a period of five months between January and May 2015. The TSK-FRBS was implemented in R. The input data is split into training and testing data for experimentation, testing and further analysis. Predictive accuracy was evaluated using the root mean squared error (RMSE) and symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE). Final results showed consistency obtained from feeding the model with the data and hence provedthat patterns that allow for prediction can be deduced from the chaotic nature of the stock exchange market.
Extension of French vaccination mandates: from the recommendation of the Steering Committee of the Citizen Consultation on Vaccination to the law
Authors: Lévy-Bruhl Daniel , Desenclos Jean-Claude , Quelet Sylvie , Bourdillon François
Published: April 2018

On 4 December 2017, French parliamentarians passed a law extending the vaccination mandates for children up to 2 years of age from three vaccinations (against diphtheria, tetanus and poliomyelitis) to 11 by adding vaccinations against pertussis, Haemophilus influenza b (Hib), hepatitis B, pneumococcal diseases, meningococcal C diseases, measles, mumps and rubella. This vote follows a recommendation made by the Steering Committee of the Citizen Consultation on Vaccination that took place in 2016. The law applies to all children born after 1 January 2018. Parents who do not fulfil the mandate will not be fined but non-vaccinated children will not be admitted to any collective child services such as nurseries or schools. No exemption other than for medical reasons will be considered. Here we describe the historical background of this evolution and its main epidemiological, sociological and policy drivers. They mainly refer to insufficient vaccine coverage, persistence of a preventable burden for some diseases and growing vaccine hesitancy in the French population. We also discuss some of the challenges and conditions of success.

Metropoliten Alanların Yönetimine Dair Kuramlar Ekseninde Türkiye’de Büyükşehir Belediye Mevzuatının İrdelenmesi

Published: April 2018

Son
dönemde mekânsal düzlemde şehirlerin iç içe geçmişliğini aşan çok daha kompleks
mekânsal yayılım süreçleri kendisini göstermeye başlamıştır. Bu sürecin
siyasal, yönetsel, hukuki, sosyolojik ve birçok yönden esaslı bir biçimde
değerlendirilmesi, ortaya çıkan sorunların aşılması hususunda büyük önem
taşımaktadır. Mekânsal düzlemde ortaya çıkan bu yayılımın akademik boyutta ele
alınışı birbirinden farklı üç ana hat üzerinde değerlendirilebilir. Reform
kuramının yönetsel mekan açısından tekleştirici savunusuna karşın, kamu tercihi
kuramının çok parçalı savunusu önemli bir yaklaşım gibi görünse de; son dönemde
müzakereci ve oydaşmacı demokratik kültürün yönetsel sistemde meydana getirdiği
dönüşüme koşut metropoliten alandaki parçalı kurguyu uyumlaştırmaya dönük yönetişimci
yaklaşım, yeni bölgecilik olarak kendisinden fazlası ile söz ettirmeye başlamıştır.
Bu çalışmada literatür ve içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak Türkiye’de
metropoliten alanların yönetiminde büyük öneme sahip hukuki düzenlemeler ile akademik
düzlemde mekânsal alanların yönetimine ışık tutan kuramlar kıyaslamalı bir
biçimde ele alınmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler neticesinde Türkiye’de
metropoliten alanların yönetimine dair kanuni düzenlemelerde “kamu tercihli
yönetişim” yaklaşımından, “reformcu yönetişim” yaklaşımına doğru bir dönüşümün
olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Güvenlik
hiç şüphesiz sadece bireyler için değil aynı zamanda siyasal unsurları barından
devletler için de medeniyetini sürdürebilmek adına yaşamsal bir unsurdur.
Dolayısıyla, egemen bir devlet olmanın şartlarından biri olan güvenlik, bir
uygarlığın; kültürel, ekonomik, sosyal ve politik yapısı gibi unsurlarını
beslemeye izin veren bir yapı taşıdır. BM tarafından sağlanan verilere göre,
insanlığın yarısı şehirlerde yaşıyor ve 2030 yılında bu nüfusun %60’ı
şehirlerde yaşıyor olacak. Kentsel alanda yaşanan bu yığılma süreçleri güvenlik
olgusunu öne çıkarmaktadır. Sistemci bir bakış açısıyla, bir ülkenin
güvenliğinin onun şehirlerinin güvenliğine bağlı olduğu söylenebilir. Kentsel
düzeyde suç oranının önlenmesi veya en azından azaltılması, sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın
sağlanmasında daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Bu bağlamda, donanım ve yazılım
içeren teknolojik donanımlar, suçların önlenmesinde ve güvenlik yönetimini daha
kolay hale getiren kontrol mekanizmalarının sağlanmasında büyük rol
oynamaktadır. Yüz tanıma sistemleri, plaka tanıma sistemleri, elektronik izleme
sistemleri bu güvenlik sistemlerinden sadece birkaçıdır. Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi
(CBS), uzman kişilerin suçları önlemek amacı ile benzetim için tematik
haritalar üretmesini sağlayan yeni nesil bir kavramdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı,
kentsel alanda işlenen suçların önlenmesinde CBS kullanımının önemini bir model
önerisi yaparak ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın kapsamı, CBS'nin güvenlik
yönetiminde kullanımı ve Türkiye ve Dünyadaki uygulamaları ile sınırlıdır. Bu araştırmada
önerilen model SWOT Analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma bazı
önerilerde bulunarak sonuçlandırılmıştır.
“Menjadi Sesama Manusia” Persahabatan sebagai Tema Teologis dan Implikasinya Bagi Kehidupan Bergereja
Authors: Susanta Yohanes Krismantyo
Published: April 2018

Abstract. This article shows that conceptually friendship is not something new. It has been around since someone was born, knowing himself and others. The concept of friendship has been known in the ancient world as well as many philosophers such as Aristotle, Derrida and Levinas has discussed about. The concept of friendship can also be found in the texts of Scripture. In fact, the church often fails to build encounters with other religions / faiths, resulting in tension between the church and other faiths. Therefore, this paper will show that friendship is not just a concept or important theological theme, but rather related to praxis, which is the action of someone in the encounter with others. In this context the Church is called to be a community that treats everyone as a friend, as a fellow human being created by God.Abstrak. Artikel ini memperlihatkan bahwa secara konseptual, persahabatan bukanlah sesuatu yang baru. Ia telah ada sejak manusia lahir, mengenal diri dan orang lain. Konsep persahabatan telah dikenal dalam dunia kuno serta banyak disinggung oleh para filsuf seperti Aristoteles, Derrida, dan Levinas. Konsep dan contoh persahabatan juga dapat ditemukan dalam teks-teks Alkitab. Pada praktiknya, gereja seringkali gagal dalam membangun perjumpaan dengan agama/ iman lainnya sehingga berakibat munculnya ketegangan hubungan antara gereja dengan penganut agama lainnya. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini akan memperlihatkan bahwa persahabatan bukan sekadar konsep atau tema teologis yang penting, melainkan berkaitan dengan praksis, yaitu tindakan seseorang dalam perjumpaan dengan orang lain. Dalam konteks inilah gereja dipanggil untuk menjadi komunitas yang memperlakukan setiap orang sebagai sahabat, sebagai sesama manusia ciptaan Allah.
Pentakostalisme dan Aksi Sosial: Analisis Struktural Kisah Para Rasul 2:41-47
Authors: Soesilo Yushak
Published: April 2018

Abstract. The Pentecostal Movement is a Christian movement that puts the power and work of the Holy Spirit at the first place. This movement sought to bring back the biblical Christianity as experienced by the early church. As the early church experienced a rapid growth of new souls, so it is with today's Pentecostal churches. The problem that arises is often in the effort to win the soul there is a dichotomy between power ministry, as emphasized by the Pentecostal movement, with social action. Some churches emphasize only one aspect of the ministry. Through a structural analysis approach to Acts 2: 41-47 the researcher seeks to find the ideal formulation in an attempt to win souls as in the experience of the early church. Through this approach the result is that the power ministry and social action must be carried out by the church at the same time and in balance that ultimately make the effort to win souls effectively.Abstrak. Gerakan Pentakostalisme adalah gerakan orang Kristen yang mengutamakan kuasa dan karya Roh Kudus. Gerakan ini berusaha untuk mengembalikan kekristenan yang Alkibiah sebagaimana yang dialami oleh gereja mula-mula. Sebagaimana gereja mula-mula yang mengalami pertumbuhan jiwa baru yang pesat, demikian halnya dengan gereja-gereja Pentakosta masa kini yang juga mengalaminya. Permasalahan yang muncul adalah seringkali dalam usaha untuk memenangkan jiwa ada dikotomi antara pelayanan dengan kuasa, sebagaimana yang ditekankan oleh gerakan Pentakostalisme, dengan aksi sosial. Beberapa gereja menekankan hanya pada satu segi dari pelayanan tersebut. Melalui pendekatan analisis struktural terhadap Kisah Para Rasul 2:41-47 peneliti hendak mencari formulasi yang ideal dalam usaha untuk memenangkan jiwa sebagaimana pengalaman gereja mula-mula. Melalui pendekatan tersebut diperoleh hasil bahwa pelayanan kuasa dan aksi sosial harus dijalankan oleh gereja secara bersamaan dan seimbang yang pada akhirnya membuat usaha untuk memenangkan jiwa berlangsung secara efektif.
