Menyikapi Pluralitas Spiritualitas dari Persekutuan Doa Pietis dan Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor
Authors: Rano Baki Janter
Published: May 2023

Konflik antara anggota Persekutuan Doa dan warga Gereja Masehi Injili di Timor (GMIT) karena perbedaan spiritualitas telah menjadi pergumulan GMIT dalam lingkup jemaat secara umum. Hubungan keduanya cenderung saling mendominasi, yang akhirnya menimbulkan kerenggangan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menemukan alternatif bagi GMIT dalam mengelola pluralitas spiritualitas secara relevan. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan teologis yang dipadukan dengan pendekatan historis fenomenologis oleh Jan S. Aritonang. Pada akhirnya, artikel ini menawarkan “model taman” menurut Joas Adiprasetya dan "profil spiritual” karya Tom Hovestol sebagai alternatif solusi bagi  persoalan di antara warga GMIT dan anggota-anggota Persekutuan Doa. Model Taman menawarkan sebuah gambaran bahwa  orang percaya memiliki cara yang berbeda-beda dalam mengekspresikan pengalaman, cinta, dan relasi mereka dengan Allah Tritunggal. Sedangkan Profil Spiritual menawarkan sebuah model pembelajaran bersama dengan basis pelayanan Yesus, yakni melalui koinonia dan marturia. Dengan menggunakan kedua pendekatan iniGMIT memberikan ruang bersama untuk mengenal keunikan masing-masing melalui diskusi bersama tentang Firman Tuhan secara mendalam dan belajar disiplin rohani, sehingga terjadi keterbukaan timbal-balik dan memulihkan relasi yang renggang. Dua alternatif tersebut mampu mengelola pluralitas spiritualitas dalam persekutuan secara utuh dan seimbang.
Dialog Studi Ritual dengan Hermeneutika Tekstual
Authors: Sipahutar Roy Charly HP
Published: May 2023

Artikel ini merupakan suatu upaya untuk memberikan alternatif berteologi kontekstual di Indonesia. Kesadaran teologi Asia dan Indonesia dalam beberapa dekade belakangan ini menghadirkan kreativitas hermeneutik yang berupaya melahirkan teologi yang benar-benar lahir dan menjadi milik Asia, khususnya Indonesia. Hermeneutika intertekstual yang sampai hari ini cukup populer di Barat telah dikembangkan di Asia menjadi hermeneutika lintas tekstual dengan mempertimbangkan kekayaan serta keberagaman teks budaya dan religi Asia. Namun demikian, keniscayaan bahwa di Asia, khususnya Indonesia, tradisi ritual dan lisan (tutur) memiliki fungsi yang lebih mengakar dan tersebar luas dibandingkan dengan tradisi tekstual (tulisan) menuntut suatu alternatif model hermeneutika yang lain untuk menjadikan tradisi non-tekstual, khususnya ritual yang melestari di tengah masyarakat lokal memiliki tempat dalam berteologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis mengurai makna ritual, studi ritual (budaya material agama), dan hermeneutika tekstual untuk memperoleh alternatif hermeneutika kontekstual Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlu adanya dialog antara studi ritual sebagai bentuk penghargaan terhadap kewibawaan tradisi Indonesia dengan hermeneutika tekstual yang sampai saat ini masih dominan dalam penafsiran Kitab Suci. Dialog studi ritual dengan hermeneutika tekstual menjadi alternatif berteologi kontekstual di bumi Indonesia.
Make Way for Beauty
Authors: Triasmoroadi Hardiyan
Published: May 2023

The pandemic has plunged us into a liminal situation and led us into an unknown situation. In this article, I propose an apophatic approach to cultivating spirituality in response to this prevailing uncertainty. Within the Christian spiritual tradition, two major approaches exist, i.e. the cataphatic (via affirmation) and the apophatic (via negation). While religious education often leans heavily towards the cataphatic approach rather than apophatic, I argue that in the face of uncertainty, religious education would benefit greatly from embracing the apophatic approach. One way to achieve this is by creating more space for artistic practices. Contemplative artistic practices, which yearn to find beauty apophatically, play a significant role in navigating religious education through uncertain times. The inclusion of artistic practices in religious education can deepen spirituality, help individuals navigate uncertainty, and enable them to find beauty amidst unknowing paths.

Authors: Kotani Hitomu , Tamura Mari , Katsura Yusuke , Moinuddin Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Ethnic minority groups are considered vulnerable due to their cultural, linguistic, and religious differences, but some are resilient and may have the potential to work as critical stakeholders in disaster risk reduction (DRR). The special session “Minority communities in DRR” at the 2022 IDRiM conference focused on the potential and roles of ethnic minority groups, especially mosques in Japan that are mainly managed by foreign nationals. This technical summary aims to (1) summarize presentations and discussion from the session and (2) describe future research directions regarding ethnic minority communities in general and Muslims in Japan in particular. The session presented various activities undertaken by mosques, including functioning as coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination sites and evacuation shelters for foreign nationals, and relief suppliers (e.g., sending donations and volunteers) in natural hazard-related disasters (e.g., earthquake and flood). The presentations and discussion could lead to micro, meso, and macro perspectives in future studies where the related individuals (e.g., mosque managers and users), the mosque’s networks, and the overall trend of mosques throughout the country are focused on, respectively. The findings of this session and future research will help us further comprehend their potential and roles, empower them, and contribute to building multi-stakeholder partnerships to realize a society where no one is left behind.
HISTORY, CURRENT STATE AND PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF SOILS IN RUSSIA (REVIEW)
Authors: MAKAROV O. A. , TSVETNOV E. V. , ABDULKHANOVA D. R.
Published: May 2023

A detailed review of existing methods of economic assessment of soils in Russia is carried out. It is shown that the foundations of such an assessment were laid and voiced by V.V. Dokuchaev - in public lectures at meetings of the Imperial Free Economic Society. Of the domestic soil assessment systems, the most perfect and holistic is the one created by a group of employees of the V.V. Dokuchaev Soil Institute under the leadership of I.I. Karmanov. T e main elements of this system are the soil-ecological index (a bonus score refecting the level of soil fertility taking into account specif c climatic conditions and terrain) and the tarificategory of the soil type of the assessed site. Modern methods of assessment, including monetization of ecosystem services of soils in determining the amount of damage from land degradation and assessing the value of soils based on the concepts of «zero soil», are analyzed. It is shown that the most promising approaches to the economic assessment of soils are - the assessment of the cost of individual soil properties, the cost of soil modif ers used to improve soil quality, the cost of soils, soils and soil mixtures used for the purposes of reclamation, landscaping and landscaping, the assessment of the cost of ecosystem services of soils for lands of various economic use. Examples of approbation of some methods of economic assessment of soils for the territory of the Educational and Experimental Soil-ecological Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University «Chashnikovo» are considered.

Published: May 2023

The methodology for biodiagnostics of the ecological state of soils and other environmental objects involves the use of two approaches: bioindicative observations in situand biotesting of samples, carried out according to standard methods in controlled laboratory conditions ex situ. An integrated assessment of soils on an interdisciplinary basis in accordance with the international standard ISO19204-2017 makes it possible to diagnose of soils “health” based on biotic parameters in the course of natural environmental observations, ecotoxicity indicators, which are supple-mented by the results of quantitative chemical analysis (TRIAD methodology). For soils, indicators of the state of higher plants and microbial communities, especially in agroecosystems, are of paramount importance. The article analyzes the advantages and limitations of well-known methods of phytoindication, laboratory phytotesting, soil respiration, structural and functional indicators of microbiota diversity and bacterial biosensors. The responses of living systems to the same pollutant content largely depend on the carbon content of organic matter. The existing regulatory framework for the ecological assessment of the biological state of soil ecosystems practically does not take into account this, as well as the level of mineralization and pH of the analyzed objects. For an adequate assessment of the ecological quality of soils, it is proposed to improve the methods of measuring toxicity by more targeted recommendations for application (for example, for certain gradations of humus content, mineralization, pH).

This paper describes how to make films using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanofiber cellulose (NFC). In this study, different NFC and PVA ratios were varied. To achieve ideal condition during the film making process, several characteristics, including as density and viscosity, have been investigated using Taguchi method. The results showed two main outcomes. To obtain optimal viscosity, the NFC/PVA ratio factor is 5/95, the volume/volume ratio is 10%, and the sonication time is 7 minutes. For optimal density, several conditions can be used, including a NFC/PVA ratio of 10/90, volume/volume ratio of 3%, and a sonication time of 5 minutes. The experimental results confirmed the average viscosity response of 129.99 ± 13.33 and the S/N ratio of -42.64 ± 0.56. The experimental results of the Taguchi method were -42.64 ± 0.56 and the S/N ratio was -42.92 ± 0.67. Meanwhile, the response data for the Taguchi methodal density averaged at 1.042 ± 0.013 and the S/N ratio was -0.365 ± 0.104. For the results of the experimental condition were 1.126 ± 0.015 and the S/N ratio of -1.031 ± 0.124.From these data, it can be concluded that there is an increase in the average and variability which indicates that the blending process is getting better with the use of NFC.

Factores biomecánicos asociados a la reabsorción radicular post ortodoncia. Revisión de literatura
Authors: Orellana-Padilla Grace Estefanía , Zapata-Hidalgo Christian David
Published: May 2023

La ortodoncia es una especialidad de la odontología que busca la armonía dentofacial, teniendo como principio básico el movimiento de dientes a través del complejo dentoalveolar por medio del fenómeno físico llamado fuerza, teniendo en cuenta que si no se controla esta fuerza se pueden desencadenar procesos patológicos como reabsorción radicular externa influenciada por varios factores biomecánicos afectando la estructura dental del paciente y disminuyendo la posibilidad de que el tratamiento sea exitoso. La presente revisión tiene como objetivo analizar la información electrónica bibliográfica útil referente a los factores biomecánicos que predisponen una aparición de reabsorción radicular externa post ortodoncia por medio de una revisión de literatura en donde se han tomado en cuenta plataformas de investigación bibliográfica tales como PubMed, Scopus, Ovid y Web of Science; donde se evidencia que factores biomecánicos como fuerzas intrusivas, fuerzas continuas y prolongadas aumentan significativamente el grado de reabsorción radicular. Como argumento concluyente se establece que se recomienda realizar control radiográfico y una pausa en tratamientos de pacientes que ya presentan reabsorción radicular visible para disminuir su severidad.

Background and objectives:Metformin is the most common oral hypoglycemic agent used as first line together with life style modification in almost all type 2 diabetes patients worldwide. The aim of the study was to determine the percentage of vitamin B12 deficiency in a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its association with the daily dose metformin (? 1.000 mg) and more than two years durations of treatment and anemia. Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of 100 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who attended the diabetic center and two General Teaching Hospitals in Erbil city during the period from the 1st of June to the end of December 2017. Vitamin B12 level, hemoglobin concentration, and other biochemical indicators of all recruited patients were obtained. Results: The mean age (+SD) of diabetic patients was 54.35 (± 9.71) years and the range was between 24 to 75 years. More than half of the patients (57%) had poor glycemic control and about one third (29%) of patients had vitamin B12 level less than 200 pg/ml. Patients with obesity, longer duration of disease and on high dose of metformin had a significantly higher level of vitamin B12 deficiency. Conclusions:vitamin B12 deficiency is common among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus especially among those using high dose of metformin for a long time. Therefore, identifying low vitamin B12 level among diabetic patients raises the concern to the patients for the future complications and challenge for the clinicians for management.

Background and objectives: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with variations in clinical behavior and biological features that lead to variations in response to treatments and survival. The aim of this study was to look for the histopathological and therapeutic factors associated with breast cancer recurrence. Methods: In this retrospective study, 100 locally recurrent or distant metastatic breast cancer cases were reviewed between 2008 -2016 at Rizgary Oncology Center in Erbil to find out the most important risk factors that have an effect on breast cancer recurrence. Results: The current study revealed that grade of disease has a great effect on breast cancer recurrence when 64.9% of patients with grade III disease have had disease recurrence within the first 2 years from the date of diagnosis. Also, this study showed that, within the first two years from the date of diagnosis, 57.9% of stage III cases have had disease recurrence. Adding more, within the first two years, 36.4% of the triple-negative subtype and 41% of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 enriched subtypes had disease recurrence within that period. Concerning the effect of delay in receiving adjuvant radiotherapy, 65.2% of those patients that were waited for more than two months to receive adjuvant radiotherapy had disease recurrence within the first two years. Conclusions: Several factors have important effects on the disease recurrence like stage of the disease, grade, molecular subtypes, and delays in receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. All of them are independently causing earlier recurrence of breast cancer.

One of the most critical tasks in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) is broadcasting Emergency Messages (EMs) at considerable data delivery rates (DDRs). The enhanced spider-web-like Transmission Mechanism for Emergency Data (TMED) is based on request spiders and authenticated spiders to create the shortest route path between the source vehicle and target vehicles. However, the adjacent allocation is based on the DDR only and it is not clear whether each adjacent vehicle is honest or not. Hence, in this article, the Improved Restricted Greedy Forwarding (IRGF) scheme is proposed for adjacent allocation with the help of trust computation in TMED. The trust and reputation score value of each adjacent vehicle is estimated based on successfully broadcast emergency data. The vehicles’ position, velocity, direction, density, and the reputation score, are fed to a fuzzy logic (FL) scheme, which selects the most trusted adjacent node as the forwarding node for broadcasting the EM to the destination vehicles. Finally, the simulation results illustrate the TMED-IRGF model’s efficiency compared to state-of-the-art models in terms of different network metrics.

The concept and theory of lasers was first put forward by Albert Einstein in 1917 and was first realized by researcher Theodore. H. Maiman in 1960. The invention of the laser is based on the theories of quantum physics, but research on the properties and optical characteristics of lasers, especially diode lasers is rarely carried out, so references for developing and applying them are very difficult to obtain. Lasers have coherent properties, which are parallel, massive, single-color (monochromatic) light propagations, which are different from incandescent white (polychromatic) light which is commonly known everyday from the sun, fire, lamps and so on. Laser diode devices have various types of power, which of course differ in the amount of voltage, current, strength of light in each condition (Uiga. E, 2014).The purpose of this research is to examine the physical characteristics of the diode laser, to determine the range of the current-voltage limits and the divergence angle in the radiant, to determine the characteristics of the laser diode with different powers.The research method used is experimental, which is carried out by testing variables and measuring the magnitude of the voltage, current, divergence of different powers from the diode laser.Based on the experimental results, the diode laser has a characteristic phase of the Volt-Ampere change called the laser phase. There are 3 phases that have been proven, namely the spontaneous emission phase, the transition phase, the stimulated emission phase and one characteristic that has been found, namely the power characteristics, the strong light (flux) (Uiga. E, 2014 ). The resulting data and variables can be used as a reference, study for research so that they can be used as a basis for further research.Keywords: Laser-Diode, Divergence, voltage, current, power

Successful development of YY technology depends not only in the identification of YY males (YYM), but also on the evaluation of the percentage of males obtained from them. The progeny of selected potential YYM was evaluated individually in order to determine its genetic status. In total, 12 potential YYM and 12 normal females (XX) were selected. Potential YYM were selected taking into account external color, shape of the genital papillae and size. After individual crossing, a confirmed YYM was crossed consecutively with three XX females and three XY females to further assess the variation in the percentage of males obtained. A significant deviation from the 1:1 sex ratio expected for normal males (XY) was observed for ten of the twelve potential YYM that were evaluated, confirming YY status. Variation ranking between 88 to 93% in the percentage of males was observed in crosses between YYM and XX females. Finally, failure to obtain only 100% males was observed in crosses between YYM and XY females. This variation could be the result of the interaction of minor genetic parental factors or the water temperature during fry period. External parameter used for selection of potential YYM need to be optimized in further work.

In humid tropical zones of Mexico maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in human and animal feed. Six maize genotypes were studied to evaluate grain and leaf production, under three plant densities (50,000; 62,500 and 83,333 plants ha-1). The assay was carried out at the Papaloapan University Campus Loma Bonita, Oaxaca. Genotypes used were: DK-357, HE-1A17, H-520, NH5, H-564C and the synthetic variety VS-536. Experimental design consisted of a randomized blocks. Each experimental plot was 12.8 m2. Variables studied were: plant height (cm), days to male flowering, days to silking, ear weight (g), ear length (cm), number of grains per ear, weight of a hundred grains (g), grain yield (kg ha-1), and dry leaf yield (kg ha-1). An analysis of variance was performed for genotypes, densities, and genotypes by densities interaction. In addition, a Tukey test for pairwise comparison was run (P ≤ 0.05). There were significant differences among genotypes, densities and genotype by density interactions. The hybrid H-520 produced the highest grain yield (5,993.3 kg ha-1). The synthetic variety VS-536 showed higher leaf yield than anyone else.

Jatropha curcas L. is a second-generation energy crop, which produces approximately 40% oil in its seeds, which can be transformed into biodiesel. In vitro culture is a valuable tool for the multiplication and conservation of elite plant varieties. In J. curcas, there are several reports on the micropropagation of the species, but with low reproducibility. The objective of this study was to obtain the in vitro organogenesis of J. curcas and estimate the nuclear DNA content by flow cytometry during eight subcultures in vitro. The organogenesis of adventitious shoots was obtained in 3.3 g/l of MS, 110.25 μM of 6–(γ, γ-Dimethylallylamino) purine (2ip), 1.27 μM of indoleacetic acid (IAA) and 369.21 μM of adenine sulfate (AdS), obtaining up to 18.50 ± 0.7 shoots per explant. The development of the shoots was 1.67 ± 0.76 cm in MS medium, 4.44 μM of benzylaminopurine (BAP), 1.0 μM of IAA and 543 μM of AdS. The rooting was 13.6 ± 2.51 roots in ½ MS and 14.7 μM of indole butyric acid (IBA). The nuclear DNA content was from 0.80 ± 0.12 to 1.07 ± 0.23 pg of nuclear DNA during the eight subcultures.

Piglet mortality due to diarrhea is the most important economic loss in the pig industry. However, the use of antibiotics is been banned nowadays and the nutraceutical products are getting importance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Brosimum alicastrum Swartz leaf meal (BLM) in the diet of piglets, as a nutraceutical additive for reducing diarrhea. The study consisted in fed piglets with pre-starter commercial feed under two treatments, either without (T1) or with (T2) inclusion of 20 g/kg BLM. Ninety-eight piglets were used per treatment, with an average initial live weight (LW) of 2.6 ± 0.42 kg. The test lasted from 5 to 27 days-old, the pigs were fed ad libitum. Offer and rejection of food were recorded daily, as was the presence of diarrhea; live weight was recorded weekly. Data on productive measures were analyzed by T-test; contingency tables, X2 tests and calculation of relative risk (RR) for the incidence of diarrhea were applied. Daily weight gain (DWG) in T2 was higher than in T1 (273 ± 0.12 vs 220 ± 0.09 g/day) (P = 0.003). The true incidence rate of diarrhea was 3% and 1% (P <0.001) for T1 and T2 respectively. The cumulative incidence rate of diarrhea was lower (P <0.001) in T2 (25%) than in T1 (54%). The risk of developing diarrhea was higher in T1 (RR = 0.67, 95% CI, 0.39-1.13). The inclusion of BLM in the diet of piglets reduced the incidence of diarrhea and increased DWG.

The use of land associated with agriculture and pasture production is a key factor in soil biodiversity. For more than 50 years, land use has changed in the central region of Veracruz, from areas of native vegetation to agricultural or pasture areas, with changes in soil properties and biota. In the present study, the impact of land uses with pasture, sugarcane and native vegetation in the edaphic meso and macrofauna, was compared. For this, indices of abundance, wealth and diversity of existing communities were used. The work was carried out considering windy, rainy and dry seasons, using two soil depths (0-15 and 15-30 cm). In total, for the two soil levels, 16 taxa were identified, being the most abundant Formicidae, Oligochaeta, Isoptera and Carabidae, during windy and rainy seasons. Abundance of majority of groups corresponded to soil with native vegetation. The lowest abundance, richness, diversity and equity of meso and macrofauna was recorded during dry seasons and in the pasture land use. It is concluded that the change in land use for pasture cultivation can have a negative impact.

Considering the importance of the use of crop models as an aid measure in the management of the agricultural production system, the objective of this study was to assess the performance of a soybean and maize models, CROPGRO-Soybean and CSM-CERES-Maize, respectively, for different genetic materials and water regime in the two annual cropping seasons in a region of Mato Grosso state, Brazil. Models were adjusted and evaluated, respectively, with field experiments under irrigated and rainfed conditions, by using crop production parameters and phenology. Model performance was generally variable in the rainfed conditions, especially when water deficit was more pronounced during the season. Values of coefficient of agreement, d, varied between 0.22 – 0.50 and 0.10 – 0.80 and maximum RMSE of grain yield were of 2.5 and 2.7 t ha-1 for soybean and maize, respectively. Results indicated model’s sensibility to water stress, which was more accentuated in the second agricultural season, when maize is usually cultivated. In an overall analysis, the soybean and maize crop models provided satisfactory results regarding simulation of crop growth and development, indicating to be a useful agricultural management tool for the most important agricultural crops in Mato Grosso state, although adjustments regarding parameters of soil water availability would increase models’ performances.
