Landscape of Tragedy: Young Death, Rumour, and Speculation in Early 20th-Century Quebec
Authors: Kirkland Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

The beautiful Aileen Hingston and her dashing beau Shirley Davidson set off on a gentle Sunday morning sail in August 1907. Despite being excellent sailors and swimmers, the couple failed to return to the Hingston summer home at Varennes, a small town just south-east of Montreal, where they were expected for lunch. The sudden, mysterious disappearance of these two young Montreal celebrities captivated the public imagination. While people speculated and gossiped about whether this was a suicide pact, a tragic accident, or a staged escape, the family and friends of Aileen and Shirley were caught in the horror of searching the riverbanks and depths of the St. Lawrence for any sign of their loved ones. For five days, the search for the two young people was relentless and when the end arrived, it was the most tragic denouement.

This is a story that is dramatic and harrowing, played out across an urban and rural landscape that was rife with palpable tensions emerging where language, religion, gender, and class clashed. The sensationalism of this tragedy, driven by the youthfulness and celebrity status of the central actors, magnified the way narratives competed: one narrative driven by spectacle and speculation, the other driven by devotion and a desire for respectability. When we unpack this story, paying attention not only to the events themselves but also to the conversations that were happening in the public and private spaces of Montreal, we glean invaluable understandings of the ways these tensions were experienced and, in some instances, mitigated. We see, for example, that capital, both social and material, could provide a buffer from certain types of public disgrace, while private moral judgements were harder to combat and often lingered in the whispered realm of gossip, only emerging in written form once time and space had created enough distance from the trauma.
Cachez ce déchet que je ne saurais voir : la création et la municipalisation d’un service de gestion des ordures dans une ville de Montréal en mutation, 1868–1920
Authors: Richard Claudèle
Published: June 2023

Avant 1870, Montréal ne possède pas de service de collecte des déchets. C’est donc aux citoyens eux-mêmes qu’incombe la disposition de leurs rebuts aux endroits désignés, et ce, à leurs frais. Or, plusieurs préfèrent jeter leurs déchets sur la voie publique et dans les cours d’eau. Alors que la population montréalaise augmente rapidement au gré de l’industrialisation, ces pratiques menacent la santé publique. Ces solutions individuelles ne permettant plus de garder la ville dans un état sanitaire acceptable, les autorités instaurent un système contractuel de ramassage des ordures, toutefois peu efficace à ses débuts. En effet, les entrepreneurs sous-estiment les capitaux, le matériel et les employés requis pour nettoyer une ville de la taille de Montréal. Cette période d’instabilité prend fin avec l’entrée en scène de l’entrepreneur William Mann, dont la longévité de l’entente avec la Ville de Montréal, qui s’étend de 1877 à 1893, tranche par rapport à la brièveté des contrats précédents. Mais si Mann est le seul entrepreneur capable de prendre en charge l’ensemble du cycle de gestion des ordures, il enfreint ouvertement plusieurs clauses de son contrat, au grand dam de la population. Les critiques portées envers le système contractuel par des citoyens, des journalistes, et certains élus poussent les pouvoirs publics à municipaliser le service de gestion des déchets en 1893. Si la Ville dessert les citadins d’une manière jugée plus satisfaisante, elle a tout de même de la difficulté à s’affranchir des défis géographiques, démographiques, et financiers inhérents à la gestion des ordures.

Принципи формування готовності до вокально-виконавської готовності магістрів
Authors: Гуань Юе
Published: June 2023

Процес формування готовності магістрів факультетів мистецтв до вокально-виконавської діяльності на сьогодні потребує активної наукової уваги. Виявлення принципових ознак дослідження посприяє до розробки та впровадження ефективної методики підготовки магістрів до виконавської діяльності. Заслуговує уточнення наукова увага до традицій вокально-виконавського виховання співаків в Україні. Вокальна педагогіка виступає складовою загальної педагогіки, музичної педагогіки, але має певні специфічні особливості в змісті, формах і методах навчання, тому вимагає розробки спеціальних педагогічних принципів, які відображають сутнісні характеристики співацької освіти магістрантів-вокалістів. Формування готовності до вокально-виконавської діяльності забезпечує взаємодія системи принципів, до яких віднесено: принцип національної спрямованості; принцип системності та наступності; принцип стимулювання магістрів-вокалістів до широкого використання українських співацьких традицій; принцип індивідуалізації; принцип проективності. У нашому дослідженні вони підтримані системно-цілісним, аксіологічним, особистісно-орієнтованим, компетентнісним, креативним науковими підходами.

K. A. Chekalov. Essays on the history and typology of French popular literature in the 19th — early 20th centuries
Authors: Makarova P. A.
Published: June 2023

Since K. Chekalov’s book is a collection of essays dedicated to French popular belles-lettres of the 19th — early 20th cc., it allows for the reading to start from any chapter, yet it pays to read all essays in order to discover this phenomenon of French literature in its entirety. The book discusses both internationally renowned authors (A. Dumas, J. Verne, and E. Sue) and those less known to mass readerships (M. Leblanc, P. Féval, P. du Terrail, and X. de Montépin). The essays are concerned with various creative aspects of the author’s writing, as well as the problem of studying individual genres of popular literature. The monograph supports the thesis about French popular prose that emphasises its predilection for genre experimentation. Also in focus of the book is the reception of the French popular novel in Russia. The author supplies interesting examples of the difficulties encountered by translators of stylistic clichés that characterise popular literature. Written in a lively and engaging language, this book will appeal to scholars and ordinary readers alike.
V. K. Kantor. Dostoevsky’s two native countries: An attempt at interpretation
Authors: Vorozhikhina K. V.
Published: June 2023

V. Kantor’s new book is devoted to Dostoevsky’s oeuvre and Russia’s fate, as well as the ailments of Russian society, which the author describes using Dostoevsky’s terminology. At the core of the book is the concept of ‘karamazovshchina,’ interpreted by Kantor as a blind force that is devoid of God, defies all taboos and turns life into a carnival, erasing any distinction between good and evil. According to the author, ‘karamazovshchina’ constitutes the worst affliction of Russian history and life. In his book, Kantor disproves established interpretations of Dostoevsky’s ideas, emphasises the writer’s ambiguous attitude to the masses, demonstrates the Slavophile (rather than imperial) roots of his social ideal, muses on the problem of the loss of faith and freedom, and points out the instances where Dostoevsky’s judgement was prophetic and where, by contrast, he erred. The author considers Dostoevsky in the broader context of Western culture.
P. V. Basinsky. A true story of Anna Karenina
Authors: Zabotin D. V.
Published: June 2023

Basinsky’s A True Story of Anna Karenina [Podlinnaya istoriya Anny Kareninoy] offers an experience of close-reading Tolstoy’s classical novel. The book reconstructs the process of the novel’s writing (1873–1877) and provides an extensive historical and cultural commentary to selected chapters that deal exclusively with the relationships between Anna, Vronsky and Karenin. The monograph also features a philological analysis of the principal artistic images, themes, and motifs and suggests possible prototypes of the novel’s main and secondary characters. In his study, Basinsky relies on factual evidence from the biographies of Tolstoy and his family and friends, as well as their diaries and letters, etc. He supplements his True Story with illustrations, extracts from the memoir of S. Tolstoy, a son of the writer, that concern the novel, and readers’ responses to Anna Karenina (including those from writers, directors, and actors) over the period from its publication to the present day.
S. Alpers. The art of describing: Dutch art in the seventeenth century
Authors: Cherkashina M. V.
Published: June 2023

The review deals with the Russian publication of the 1980s’ bestselling study of art history, whose author polemises with Michel Foucault by invoking Francis Bacon, Johannes Kepler, and Jan Komenský. The core premise of Alpers’ book is a thesis about the decidedly describing rather than narrating character of the Northern Renaissance as opposed to the Italian model. In its reliance on the ‘optical’ method in order to create images (using a lens, a microscope, or a camera obscura), as opposed to the use of perspective by Italian artists, Dutch painters are not merely engaged in copying nature but instead depict the state of mind, ‘the storage of visual images.’ They also abolish the priority of the verbal over the visual described as  ut pictura poesis. Among other topics, the author pays tribute to Rembrandt. She argues that his uniqueness comes from the fact that he dismisses both the lofty Catholic miracle of the incarnated Word and the humble Dutch faith in the world’s outer shell, and thus rejects not only the Dutch art of describing but also the Italian idea of narrative painting.
Sac Malzemelerin Boyanabilme Kabiliyetlerine Temper Haddeleme Ezme Miktarının Etkisi
Authors: ÖZAKIN Batuhan , YILMAZ Emir
Published: June 2023

Boyalı çelik sac malzemelerin yüzeyleri otomotiv, beyaz eşya vb. sektörlerde ürünün son kalitesini ortaya koyduğundan tüketicinin dikkate aldığı önemli unsurlardan biridir. Bu sektörlerde kullanılan çelik sac malzemeler genellikle soğuk haddeleme üretim sürecinin son basamağında boyanabilme ve şekillendirme açısından pürüzlü olarak üretilir. Yüzeyde meydana gelen pürüzlülük profili sac malzemelerin boyanabilme kabiliyetini etkilemektedir. Aynı zamanda sac malzemelerin farklı pürüzlülüklerde temin edilebilmesinden dolayı yapışma mukavemetlerinin ve boyanabilme kabiliyetlerinin farklı olduğu ortadadır. Ayrıca yine haddeleme ve yüzey pürüzlülük parametreleri boya ve kaplamaların malzeme yüzeyine yapışma mukavemetini ve boyanabilme kabiliyetini etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada HC420LA sac malzemelerin boyanabilme kabiliyetlerine temper haddeleme ezme miktarının etkisi araştırılmıştır. İlk olarak sac malzeme numuneleri farklı ezme miktarlarıyla temper haddeleme işlemine tabi tutulmuştur. Temper haddelenmiş HC420LA sac malzeme numunelerinin yüzeylerinin pürüzlülük parametreleri belirlenmiştir. Farklı ezme miktarları ile haddelenmiş ve farklı pürüzlülüklere sahip çelik sac malzemeler poliüretan akrilik esaslı boya ile kaplanmıştır. Son olarak boyanmış yüzeylerin yapışma mukavemetleri, dolayısıyla boyanabilme kabiliyetleri çapraz kesim (cross-cut) testinden elde edilmiştir. Temper haddeleme ezme miktarı arttıkça yüzeyin pürüzlülük profilinde değişimler meydana gelmiştir. Temper haddeleme ezme miktarı arttıkça (%0-1 aralığında) boyanın yapışma mukavemeti artmış ve %1 ezme miktarının üzerindeki artışlarda boyanın yapışma mukavemetinin azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Tepelerin yüksekliklerinin (Rpk) ve vadilerin derinliklerinin (Rvk) boyanın yapışma mukavemetinde oldukça etkili olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oil of Helichrysum chionophilum: an endemic plant of Türkiye
Authors: ACET Tuba , ÖZCAN Kadriye
Published: June 2023

Diseases that develop due to microorganisms have become increasingly dangerous today. Especially in the fight against resistant microorganisms, there is a need for cheaper, natural and effective methods. Plant materials containing biologically active compounds come to the fore in this sense. Therefore, in the present study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oil obtained from H. chionophilum collected from Gümüşhane were investigated. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. Free radical scavenging activity was determined using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) method. Antimicrobial activity was examined using the microdilution method using 17 bacteria and 2 yeasts. According to the findings, IC50 value of the radical scavenging activity of the essential oil of H. chionophilum plant was found to be 260.0±0.2 µg/mL. Also, the essential oil of the plant showed outstanding antimicrobial activity against Y. pseudotuberculosis (MIC: 16 µg/mL), S. epidermidis (MIC: 16 µg/mL), and C. albicans (MIC: 16 µg/mL) and C. tropicalis (MIC: 32 µg/mL). The results indicate that H. chionophilum, which is an endemic species, and its essential oils can be used as a new and alternative natural agent thanks to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Cyber Laws and Cyber Security in Pakistan: Myths and Realities
Authors: Tahir Muhammad , Farrukh Tahreem , Shahid Muhammad
Published: June 2023

The evolving nature of warfare is characterized by technology's ability to adapt and attack enemies in different ways at different times and places. This adaptability also extends to the realm of cybersecurity, where billions of dollars are illegally transferred, data breaches occur, national secrets are compromised, and critical public infrastructure is hacked. Pakistan, like many other countries, is not immune to these challenges. Pakistan recently experienced a massive cyberattack against a major institutional website, resulting in a successful intrusion by hackers. In response, Pakistani lawmakers introduced a cyber law, but at the time the scale and complexity of these new threats were not fully recognized. To protect itself from such risks, it is important for Pakistan to stay vigilant and continuously adapt its cybersecurity measures to meet the evolving cyber threat landscape.

John the Baptist and Fasting
Authors: Olcese Gianluca
Published: June 2023

The Gospels passages describe John the Baptist’s ascetic behaviour in the Judean desert, eating locusts and wild honey, wearing garments made of camel hair. The food choices of St. John are analysed in comparison with the practice of nazirite, and also on the light of Eastern tradition, mostly spread in Syriac Christianity, which interpretation differs, underlining a particular form of ascetism completely characterised by vegetables. Commentaries, mostly dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries, explain the word ‘akrides’ as a particular vegetable. Furthermore, the celebration of St. John’s Eve, as a result of medieval western development, is nowadays characterized by abundance of food, in contrast, with the Gospel description of the life of the Baptist, are compared with the tradition of charivari, known since the Middle Ages.
Information extraction and sentiment analysis of hotel reviews in Croatia
Authors: Šuman Sabrina , Vignjević Milorad , Car Tomislav
Published: June 2023

Today, the amount of data in and around the business system requires new ways of data collection and processing. Discovering sentiments from hotel reviews helps improve hotel services and overall online reputation, as potential guests largely consult existing hotel reviews before booking. Therefore, hotel reviews of Croatian hotels (categories three, four, and five stars) in tourist regions of Croatia were studied on the Booking.com platform for the years 2019 and 2021 (before and after the start of the pandemic COVID-19). Hotels on the Adriatic coast were selected in the cities that were mentioned by several sources as the most popular: Rovinj, Pula, Krk, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Brač, Hvar, Makarska, and Dubrovnik. The reviews were divided into four groups according to the overall rating and further divided into positive and negative in each group. Therefore, the elements that were present in the positive and negative reviews of each of the four groups were identified. Using the text processing method, the most frequent words and expressions (unigrams and bigrams), separately for the 2019 and 2021 tourism seasons, that can be useful for hotel management in managing accommodation services and achieving competitive advantages were identified. In the second part of the work, a machine learning (ML) model was built over all the collected reviews, classifying the reviews into positive or negative. The results of applying three different ML algorithms with precision and recall performance are described in the Results and Discussion section.
Uloga emocija na strateškoj razini odlučivanja
Authors: Gonan Božac Marli , Kostelić Katarina
Published: June 2023

U radu se polazi od poznavanja fenomena emocija, te se istražuje njihova uloga u strateškom odlučivanju primjenom sekundarnog istraživanja. Svrha ovog rada je predložiti pretpostavke daljnjih istraživanja na temu uloge emocija na strateškoj razini odlučivanja, budući da su spoznaje o emocijama u strateškom odlučivanju u užem smislu ograničene, parcijalne te proturječne. Za potrebe pisanja ovoga rada primijenjeno je istraživanje za stolom koje je obuhvatilo pretraživanje odabranih bibliografskih baza prema kriteriju ključnih riječi te metodu snježne grude. U radu se razlikuje strateško odlučivanje u užem smislu od strateškog odlučivanja u širem smislu, koje obuhvaća proces strateškog menadžmenta. Kod strateškog odlučivanja, emocije dominantno pozitivnog hedonističkog tona ukazuju na povoljnu situaciju koju nije potrebno mijenjati dok emocije dominantno negativnog hedonističkog tona ukazuju na potrebu za promjenom postojeće situacije i potiču na djelovanje. U tom kontekstu, uočava se da postojanje negativnih emocija nije negativno iz perspektive strateškog menadžmenta, već dovodi do poželjnog pristupa pri strateškom odlučivanju i povoljnih ishoda (izuzev utjecaja ljutnje). Narativni pregled rezultira s četrnaest pretpostavki kao prijedloga daljnjih istraživanja integriranih u konceptualni model uloge emocija u strateškom odlučivanju, u čemu se ogleda originalnost i znanstveni doprinos rada. Sistematizacija teorijskih i empirijskih spoznaja o ulozi emocija u strateškom odlučivanju koja se u radu donosi, prilog je razvoju održivih organizacija.
Neki momenti u teološkom čitanju znakova vremena
Authors: Petrušić Bruno
Published: June 2023

Predloženi teološki model čitanja znakova vremema sastoji se od promatranja sadašnjega trenutka Crkve i suvremenoga društva. Crkva koju se ima pred očima poslijekoncilska je Crkva, a društvo je poslijemoderno društvo. U članku se uzima u obzir razmišljanja i uvide nekolicine suvremenih autora, različitih svjetonazora, prepoznavajući u njima znakove vremena i izazove suvremenoj teološkoj misli. Među takvim znakovima vremena posebno se ističe nezadovoljstvo spomenutih mislilaca s posvemašnjim materijalizmom, s izostankom nutarnjega života, s onesposobljenošću za transcendentno. Unutar globalnoga liberalnoga kapitalizma takvi oblici duhovnoga nezadovoljstva imaju nultu toleranciju prema fizičkom izvanjskom nasilju i nasilju sustava, kao i težnju prema multikulturalnosti, pa se vide kao posebni znakovi pogodni za teološko čitanje. U zaključku članka ističe se da na isti način valja i kršćanskoj teologiji vratiti proročku dimenziju koja će biti temeljna i u gajenju suvremenih oblika svetosti.

Published: June 2023

This paper aims to bring to the forefront the most important connecting element of society, namely socialization. Improving socialization through motor games is, perhaps, a solution to many problems, as children align emotionally, emotionally, volitionally, physically, cognitively, etc. The study was conducted on a sample of 59 students aged 6 to 9 years. The sociometric technique was used to determine negative, positive, and neutral interpersonal relationships by age level before and after the use of the chosen motor games. The index of preferred status, cohesion index, arithmetic mean and progress rate were used for statistical interpretation.

This research is expected to be able to provide a good understanding of the behavior of zakat collection from the public and how zakat institutions distribute the zakat. This study uses a quantitative method using panel data and samples from five zakat institutions in Indonesia, such as the National Zakat Agency (Baznas), Rumah Zakat, Rumah Yatim, Dompet Dhuafa, and Inisiatif Zakat Indonesia. Furthermore, the ZIS collection and distribution data that will be analyzed is annual data for the period 2018 to 2021. The results of this study show that the performance of ZIS collection has continued to show a positive trend during covid-19 pandemic, which indicates that ZIS receipts from muzakki are not affected by economic conditions. However, there have been a number of changes of ZIS distribution because it need to prioritize asnaf of fakir, misin, and fisabilillah in order to recover economic conditions due to Covid-19.

Robot Manipulator is the most robot used in industry since it can act like a human arm that can move objects. Research on robot manipulator has been widely carried out in various problems such as control systems, intelligence robots, degrees of freedom, mechanics-electronics systems and various other problems. In control systems there are studies to design of robot motion through kinematics. However, modeling the kinematic motion which has nonlinear characteristics will be more difficult if the number of degrees of freedom increases. To overcome this problem, this research will proposed sparse regression to modeling the kinematics of a robotic arm with the black box principle modeling. The results obtained indicate that the method The proposed one has the ability to identify robots manipulator with a fitness score of up to 100%. This matter shows that the proposed method can modeling the kinematic inverse of the manipulator robot without through complex calculations. From this research is expected can provide other research opportunities related to identification kinematics with the identification system method
Agritourism: a source for socio-economic transformation in developing economies
Authors: Zvavahera Promise , Chigora Farai
Published: June 2023

This conceptual paper uses an expansive literature review on agritourism as a source for socio-economic transformation in developing economies and extrapolates the findings to Zimbabwe. With exceptional natural resources coupled with deeply rooted cultural heritage and unique opportunities presented by agritourism prospects, offer Zimbabwe invaluable chances at fostering sustainable growth within farming communities. However, though there are substantial agritourism attractions within the country little effort is placed upon advertising these attractions resulting in insufficient literature on such versatile prospects. Research suggests that higher socio-economic status, improved access to food within households, and reduced vulnerability can lead to beneficial outcomes. Consequently, it is crucial for agricultural communities to be inclusive and considerate of their social circumstances, physical environments, and cultural heritage. To facilitate future progress, farmers should promote the expansion of agritourism, thus accommodating evolving demands. The paper proposes a transformative model based on location, funding, product quality, marketing techniques, infrastructure, and legislative support as catalysts toward viable agritourism.
Cross-national associations of IQ and infectious diseases: Is the prevalence of Corona an exceptional case?
Authors: Becker David , Kiel Claudia , Rindermann Heiner
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Previous studies reported negative associations between a country’s mean IQ and economic development at the one side and the prevalence of infectious diseases on the other, arguing that a more rational behavior and better living conditions decreased health risks. The purpose of this study was to transfer these previous findings on the relationship between IQ and the burden of infectious diseases on a cross-national level to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Countries with higher IQ results and rich countries in North-East Asia and the West are more affected by Corona than poorer countries in the Middle East or in sub-Saharan Africa (IQ: _r_IQ↔Cases = .41 and _r_IQ↔Deaths = .28; wealth: _r_GDP/c↔Cases = .45 and _r_GDP/c↔Deaths = .22). Intelligence can have contradicting effects on Corona, i.e., it increases health and makes people more rationally cautious, but at the same time leads to an older population that is more susceptible to corona health problems and allows societies to detect more Corona cases.

METHODS: The effects of IQ on the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (per capita: reproduction rate_ R_0, hospitalizations due to Corona, Intensive Care Unit treatments, cases, deaths, excess mortality) were controlled in a sample of up to 207 countries for climatic conditions, air pollution, wealth, demographic factors, health burden (e.g., cardiovascular diseases), peoples’ mobility, test coverage and anti-Corona regulations. The stability of effects was checked in six country sub-samples and controlled for the factors named above in regressions with 73 successful runs. 

RESULTS: The effect (standardized β) of IQ shows an average negative (reducing) effect of –.19 on the pandemic’s impact. Intelligence has a small effect on the spread of corona and the severity of its consequences. Stronger effects are given by climatic conditions (colder climates) and air pollution. Detailed regressions and additional path analyses show that the reducing effect of IQ is limited to the direct path and the long term (β = .08 in 2020 but –.21 in 2021).

CONCLUSIONS: In the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the previous findings about the relationship between IQ and the burden of infectious diseases could only be partially reproduced. The assumption of a weakening effect on the impact of the pandemic was confirmed, but only to a limited extent and along unknown ways.
A signal conditioning module for denoising Electrocardiogram signals
Authors: Patel Vandana , Shah Ankit
Published: June 2023

In this work, we propose to use an optimal multiband filter with least mean square algorithm to design a signal conditioning module for denoising Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals contaminated with predominant noises. The module is implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware. The experimental results of the proposed module are investigated and compared using an ECGID database available on Physionet. Quantitative and qualitative analysis is performed using Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), and quality indexes to assess the effectiveness of the module. The average values of SNR are 10.90124, and MSE is 0.001761, indicating the successful elimination of noises in the filtered ECG signal using the proposed module. The signal quality indexes also demonstrate that the relevant information for diagnosing cardiac functionality is preserved. Furthermore, the performance of the designed module is tested on ECG signals obtained from electrodes placed on the human body. The Spartan 3s500efg320-5 FPGA device is employed to implement the filter design module using the partial serial architecture.
Strategy To Retain Second Generation Immigrants at the Bethlehem French Seventh-day Adventist Church in New Jersey
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Duvivier Emile
Published: June 2023

Problem Bethlehem French Seventh-day Adventist Church in East Orange, New Jersey, has been facing the challenges of any typical church located in urban environments in this post-millennial world. The church is confronted with member depletion in general, and the young people, in particular. The problem of retention has plagued our congregation in a manner that stagnated our exponential growth. A large percentage of the children who were born and raised in the church is leaving the Seventh-day Adventist faith after college. The Bethlehem French Seventh-day Adventist Church has not been exempted. Method To resolve the problem, I have put in place a series of five seminars to instruct the parents about their duty of transmission of the spiritual values to their children, to instill in the young people their self-value and identity awareness, and to train the church elders to offer a spirit-filled worship environment susceptible to nurture spiritual growth in the church. During a period of five months, from April through August 2018, 18 young people from 14 to 21-years-old participated in a research project to measure their religious involvement before and after the implementation. Quantitative data recorded before and after were collected, compared, analyzed, and evaluated to establish a diagnostic of the problem, and to propose tentative solutions. Results The study revealed that most of the young people do not live in a home where strong parent involvement is part of their spiritual formation, and none of them attended Seventh-day Adventist schools. The results of the surveys also highlighted the fact that there are disconnect and trust issues between the youth and the church leadership. Only a small percentage of them see the adults as spiritual role models. However, their faith in Christ and their likeliness to stay in the church seemed to increase from the pre-implementation survey to the post-implementation survey. Conclusions Therefore, I recommended several actions plans to address the problem. I encouraged the parents to improve their parent/child relationship through better parenting skills, and a daily home devotion schedule. I also increased, through subsequent training, the elders' awareness of youth mentality, and I invited them to be more open-minded regarding contemporary styles of worship. A loving spiritual home environment, a caring and supportive church community, and a better preaching and uplifting worship services would contribute to keeping the youth close to Jesus until he comes back to introduce eternity.
A Strategy To Reach Families with Children in Calgary, Alberta
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Girleanu Ghenadie
Published: June 2023

Problem During the last decade, Calgary Central Church has not been intentionally involved in reaching families with children. They have done many different types of evangelism and community outreach programs but nothing to attract this specific segment of the population. With a large number of unreached families with children in the community, the need for a specific outreach project like this was obvious. Method A 12-week program to reach families with children was developed and implemented during 2016-2017. The approach of this project was to reach the parents by reaching their children first. For this purpose, Kids' Discipleship Club was developed and implemented. Its main purpose was missional, but during the course of the implementation stage, the purpose of the project became a combination of both reaching families in the community and helping church families in discipling their children. Results Twenty families enrolled their children in this program, 14 of them from the church and six from the community. In total, there were 35 children who attended the weekly meetings. As a result of this program, the families from the community had a chance to get to know our church and see that we care about them and their children. During this program, the leaders and the families from the church established relationships with the families from the community. The other result was that the families from the church strengthened their relationship with Jesus. The children had an amazing experience that helped them grow and mature on their discipleship journey. Conclusions This project demonstrates that churches must become intentional in reaching out to different demographic groups in our community. A one-size-fits-all approach does not work; therefore, the church needs to come up with new strategies. I believe that this type of project can be very successful in reaching out to families, and it has the potential to have a great missional impact on our communities.
Improving Marital Satisfaction: An Enrichment Program for Couples in the Huntington, New York Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Benoit Eddly
Published: June 2023

Problem One of the first and most sacred institutions established by God at creation was the institution of marriage. It is God who placed in man the desire to leave his father and mother, that he might be joined to his wife, with the objective of becoming one flesh. This perfect union ordained by God has proven elusive in many marriages. When I started my pastorate at the Huntington Seventh-day Adventist Church, I observed that many of the married couples were having difficulties communicating effectively and resolving conflict. I noticed that some of them lacked the behavioral skills and resources necessary to address their issues. This lack subsequently hindered their ability to establish strong and healthy marriage relationships. Method An eight-week marriage enrichment program was designed and implemented at the Huntington Seventh-day Adventist Church with the objective of helping married couples improve marital satisfaction, specifically in five areas: communication, conflict resolution, sexual relationship, financial management, and spirituality. Four married couples enrolled and agreed to be part of a research group. They were assessed before the study began and four months after the study ended. Two instruments were used to evaluate change in the participants' marriages. The Enrich Marital Satisfaction scale (Fowers & Olson, 1993) was used to measure overall marital satisfaction. The PREPARE/ENRICH Customized Inventory (Olson, Larson, & Olson, 2009) was used to detect change in the five targeted areas of marital satisfaction. Results The study indicated that post-intervention, every couple who participated in the study enjoyed a higher level of satisfaction overall in their marriages. They also made positive improvements in four of the five areas taught in the intervention curriculum: communication, conflict resolution, sexual relationship, and spirituality, with one consistent exception, financial management, where every participant scored lower on the post-test than on the pre-test. Conclusions All who were part of the research group testified that this enrichment program had an immediate positive impact on their marriage relationship and gave them better tools to address certain issues in their marriages. They all requested that the program be repeated with the hope of rejoining and inviting other couples whom they believe could benefit from what they had learned. Consequently, it is recommended that this program be repeated at the Huntington Seventh-day Adventist Church.
