The number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia as of September 2021 reached 64.2 million by contributing a GDP of around 61.07 percent and being able to absorb 97% of the total existing workforce, and was able to collect 60.42% of the total investment in Indonesia. This indicates that MSMEs have great potential to be developed, besides that MSMEs also contribute gross domestic product (GDP) in Indonesia, open opportunities to empower family finances, open business opportunities and absorb labor which in turn can improve the economy in Indonesia. However, the last two, the whole world has experienced economic paralysis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, as well as what happened in Indonesia. One of them has experienced a bad impact on MSMEs/ MSEs. The product of various chips "Tunggal Makmur" is a household industry that still survives today even though with Covid-19, production has decreased by up to 50% during the Covid-19 pandemic. For the conditions mentioned above, the Cilacap State Polytechnic Lecturer intends to carry out Community Service (PKM) at the location of various chips in Widarapayung Wetan village, Cilacap Regency. Community service aims to provide information and knowledge coaching to increase understanding of the important role of business in packaging various chips to attract buyers. The method used in this activity is by surveying methods and directly involving spaciousness to conduct coaching and conducting questions and answers with participants. What is expected by guiding to increase understanding of information and knowledge and socialization is to be able to increase sales by providing attractive packaging and labels. The output will be produced in the form of videos and journals.

Published: October 2022

Como consecuencia de la crisis global provocada por la pandemia de Covid-19, se ha puesto bajo el lente un incesante cuestionamiento sobre las acciones vitales y cotidianas como el habitar. Así, resulta pertinente que la enseñanza de la arquitectura de un giro hacia la concientización y revaloración de los aspectos human-izantes del fenómeno arquitectónico. La enseñanza y el quehacer de la arquitectura han sido entendidas, es-tudiadas y transmitidas desde tiempo atrás a partir de la estética de los sentidos y las sensaciones; “siendo la arquitectura uno de los modos en los que hacemos artificial el mundo, y siendo el mundo el lugar donde actúan nuestros sentidos, resulta inevitable una estre-cha vinculación entre los sentidos y el producto arquitectónico” (Masiero, 2004, pp. 11-12).

Sachs et Sackett

Published: October 2022

Il y a un peu plus de 20 ans, attiré tant par la curiosité et que par le dédommagement promis, j’avais loué pour quelques jours mon cabinet de jeune médecin généraliste récemment installé à Vendôme à l’équipe du réalisateur Michel Deville, qui y avait tourné quelques scènes de l’adaptation du roman de Martin Winckler « la maladie de Sachs », avec Albert Dupontel dans le rôle éponyme1. De cette expérience enrichissante à double titre, j’ai gardé en précieux souvenir un ordonnancier édité pour le film au nom du Docteur Bruno Sachs, médecin généraliste... Curieusement, c’est à la même époque que je me passionnais pour le modèle de démarche décisionnelle proposé par Sackett qui commençait à faire les gros titres du BMJ, tant par sa pertinence pour l’exercice de la médecine que par son impertinence – et celle de ses promoteurs – vis-à-vis du mandarinat médical et universitaire de l’époque2. L’evidence-based medicine envoyait au placard la médecine fondée sur la parole des Maîtres, et – au grand dam de ces derniers – remplaçait la vérité révélée par les niveaux de preuves. Je me souviens à l’époque des difficultés que nous avions à expliquer à nos confrères dubitatifs en quoi ce modèle aux apparences froidement scientifiques ne s’opposait en aucun cas à l’humanisme inhérent à l’exercice de la médecine générale, dont Martin Winckler proposait avec Bruno Sachs un archétype. Il nous semblait, et il nous semble encore, que c’est même là le coeur de notre métier : exercer une profession profondément humaine et sociale tout en fondant sa démarche décisionnelle sur des bases scientifiques. C’est d’autant plus vrai aujourd’hui, quand ces bases se sont élargies à d’autres sciences que la biologie, la pharmacologie et les biostatistiques, pour accueillir l’ensemble des sciences humaines et sociales. Les difficultés à faire adopter le modèle n’ont pas complètement disparues, mais ont surtout laissé la place à celles liées à son implémentation dans la pratique et donc à son apprentissage. « Déjà vu » aujourd’hui : dans le même numéro d’exercer, Rémy Boussageon fait le point sur l’evidence-based medicine et son utilisation raisonnée en médecine générale, tandis que Lise Journet et Camille Rendu nous proposent de réfléchir sur les représentations sociales du médecin généraliste à travers une typologie des médecins généralistes imaginés et décrits par les auteurs romanesques du siècle passé3,4. En point d’orgue, Léa Ceysson nous rapporte les difficultés rencontrées par les étudiants dans une situation emblématique de cet équilibre instable : l’hésitation vaccinale5. C’est un hasard, sans doute, que cette nouvelle coïncidence, mais qui vient néanmoins confirmer à quel point notre métier est à l’interface entre sciences et humanité, et à quel point l’exercer nous oblige à toujours plus explorer et toujours mieux maitriser la rencontre entre Sachs et Sackett.
Typologie des personnages de médecins généralistes dans le roman français du XXe siècle
Authors: JOURNET L , RENDU C , PELTIER A
Published: October 2022

Contexte. La médecine générale a acquis le titre de spécialité médicale en 2004 en France. La discipline s’est structurée au XXe siècle « par défaut », comme une non-spécialité. Les représentations sociales autour du métier de médecin généraliste (MG) participent à construire l’identité professionnelle du groupe. Des travaux ont étudié la représentation des MG dans la littérature jeunesse, le cinéma, le dessin. Le but de cette étude était de faire émerger les différents types de personnage de MG figurant dans le roman français au XXe siècle. Méthode. Une étude qualitative a été conduite à partir de passages de romans français, fictionnels, mettant en scène au moins un MG, parus entre 1900 et 1999 et dont l’action se déroule en France au XXe siècle. Un recueil d’ouvrages le plus systématique possible a été conduit. D’abord, les passages ont été analysés par deux chercheuses à l’aide d’une grille de lecture de constitution déductive et inductive. Une triangulation de l’analyse a permis d’obtenir une fiche synthèse par personnage de MG. Enfin, les fiches ont été réparties en tas homogènes et distincts, constituant les différents types, selon la méthode décrite par Grémy et Le Moan. Résultats. 42 romans ont été inclus et 33 personnages de MG ont été identifiés. Aucun n’était une femme. Cinq types ont été constitués, nommés et décrits : « les jeunes loups », « les bons Samaritains », « les voyageurs en quête », « les idolâtres du statut », les « dévastés amers ». Conclusion. Cette étude suggère que la représentation du MG dans le roman français au XXe siècle est une figure composite qui apparaît alternativement comme un pilier, un symbole d’espoir, une figure de domination, un marginal observateur ou un consommable de la société.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. L’internat est une source de stress et de travail des internes en médecine. Elle pose la question de leur recours aux substances psychoactives comme un reflet de leur difficulté au travail. Objectif. Évaluer la prévalence de la consommation de substances psychoactives par les internes en médecine. Méthodes. Une enquête épidémiologique descriptive transversale par questionnaire anonyme a été menée auprès de l’ensemble des internes en médecine, toutes spécialités confondues en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Les différentes associations, syndicats et services administratifs des scolarités de chaque faculté ont permis de diffuser l’enquête. Le recueil de données s’est déroulé durant 2 mois par un logiciel sécurisé. Le critère de jugement principal était l’évaluation de la prévalence de consommation des différentes substances psychoactives débutées avant et pendant l’internat chez les internes en médecine. Résultats. Parmi les 540 questionnaires (78,7 %) analysés, 453 internes avaient consommé au moins une substance psychoactive durant leur internat dont 422 (93,2 %) l’avaient débutée avant ce dernier. La plupart des consommations était à usage festif, à l’exception des médicaments psychoactifs, de la morphine et ses dérivés. Le principal moyen d’obtention de ces substances (hors tabac et alcool) était par le biais de connaissances (60,5 %). 19,4 % des internes avaient déjà travaillé sous l’effet de substances psychoactives (hors tabac et substances à visée thérapeutique) et 37,1 % d’entre eux pensaient que leur consommation pouvait nuire à leurs capacités au travail. Pour les non-consommateurs, la raison principale était la peur des effets néfastes. Conclusion. Cette étude a montré une forte prévalence de consommation des différentes substances psychoactives chez les internes en médecine de la région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, majoritairement à but festif. Celle-ci était plus importante chez les internes de médecine générale et des autres spécialités médicales.

Published: October 2022

The fiber morphology and extractive content of Aquilaria cumingiana (Decne.) Ridl. wood collected in Davao Oriental, Philippines were determined to gather pioneering information about the properties of A. cumingiana for better characterization and classification. Wood samples were classified according to color with the aid of a Nix Mini 1 Color Sensor and labeled as A, B, C, and D. The result of the study showed an increasing trend of color lightness percentage from samples A (32.74%) to D (74.96%). Morphologically, both samples C and D (1.03 mm) showed the longest fiber, sample A showed the largest fiber (35.41 μm) and lumen diameter (27.77 μm), and sample C showed the thickest cell wall (4.71 μm). On the other hand, the highest Runkel ratio, slenderness ratio, and flexibility ratio were shown in samples B (0.49), C (33.00), and A (78.13), respectively. The amount of extractives obtained in the study decreases from samples A to D regardless of the solvents used. Statistically, the color lightness, morphological properties, and extractive content were significant across sample classifications. Among solvents used, the extractive content showed a significant result. The color lightness and extractive content showed a negative relationship, which signifies that the color lightness may be used to evaluate the amount and quality of extractives in A. cumingiana wood. Based on the morphological properties, A. cumingiana fibers are found favorable in pulp and paper production. The classification and characterization of A. cumingiana wood properties along the infected portions of a tree and chemical profiling of the extracts would be relevant information to consider.

Nine microsatellite markers recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization were used to measure the genetic diversity of Quezon and Marinduque native pig populations – with a total of 37 and 40 individuals, respectively. All markers were discovered to be polymorphic, with a mean number of alleles per locus of 10. Marinduque native pigs were found to have a mean effective number of alleles (EA), mean observed heterozygosity (HO), mean expected heterozygosity (HE), and mean polymorphic information content (PIC) of 5.005 ± 0.547, 0.673 ± 0.040, 0.780 ± 0.024, and 0.76 ± 0.03, respectively. By contrast, Quezon native pigs had mean EA, mean HO, mean HE, and mean PIC values of 5.280 ± 0.787, 0.634 ± 0.044, 0.773 ± 0.035, and 0.75 ± 0.04, respectively. Between the two populations, the heterozygosity (HE > HO) and positive values of FIS (0.1714) and FIT (0.1868) indicated a low number of heterozygotes, suggesting the possibility of inbreeding. The test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) showed that three loci each in the Quezon and Marinduque native pig populations deviated from HWE. Although morphological analysis revealed significant differences in snout shape, head profile, ear type, and all morphometric traits, a low level of genetic differentiation between the two populations was observed (FST = 0.0186; Nei genetic distance = 0.130; Nei unbiased genetic distance = 0.082). Overall, these findings imply that further studies on the genetic improvement and conservation of Philippine native pigs are required for the development of signature pig breeds across the country.

Published: October 2022

Hot springs in the Philippines are found mostly near volcanic regions and are the least places with possibly high background radiation. However, Makinit hot spring in El Nido, Palawan exists not only on the tectonically stable northern Palawan Microcontinental Block but also records anomalously high natural radioactivity. To quantify and determine the nature of radioactivity, this study conducted a preliminary radiological and geochemical study in the vicinity of this hot spring. The measured average specific activities of uranium and thorium were 1528.62 and 920.96 Bq/kg, and these exceed world median values on terrestrial radionuclides in the soil of 35 and 30 Bq/kg by 44 and 31 times higher, respectively. The average values of all seven calculated radiological risk parameters – namely, dose rate with an amount of 13.77 mSv/y, radium equivalent of 2862.10 Bq/kg, external and internal hazard indices of 7.73 and 11.86, respectively, absorbed gamma dose rate of 1271.42 nGy/h, annual effective dose equivalent of 1.56 mSv/y, and excess lifetime cancer risk of 5.46 x 10–3 – go beyond reference limits set by the UNSCEAR. The preliminary assessment of spring water physicochemical properties showed that the water temperature is greater than 55 °C and the pH averages around 6.62, indicating weak acid-neutral hot waters and a low to moderate temperature geothermal system. The sediments surrounding the Makinit hot spring were analyzed to be travertine, composed only of calcite, suggesting that the uranium and thorium ions are potentially bonded or are associated with the Ca-bearing mineral. This study can serve as a baseline for further research regarding the source of radioactivity and geothermal heat source and as a consideration for the development of the Makinit hot spring area.

Published: October 2022

Marine heatwaves are discrete and prolonged periods of anomalously warm seawater temperature which have devastating ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Being part of the center of marine biodiversity and a fisheries-dependent country, the Philippines is vulnerable to the threats of marine heatwaves, but these extreme events remain understudied in the country. It is, therefore, crucial to investigate the development of marine heatwaves and to assess and predict the impacts of these events in the Philippine seas. In this perspective paper, we aim to put forward the research direction for advancing our understanding of marine heatwaves and their impacts in the Philippines. The limited studies on marine heatwaves in the Philippines highlight the need for progress in understanding the spatiotemporal patterns, physical processes, and impacts of marine heatwaves in the country. Advancing our knowledge of marine heatwaves will help us formulate mitigating strategies for ocean warming in fisheries management and marine biodiversity conservation in the Philippines.
Bioprospecting of Philippine Plants from Northern Samar with Butyrylcholinesterase-selective Inhibitory Activity

Published: October 2022

The World Health Organization identified neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), as among the public health challenges that need attention. At present, commercially available AD drugs on the market target cholinesterases. Symptomatic treatment extensively focuses on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) because it plays a major role in the breakdown of the main neurotransmitter acetylcholine. However, recent studies suggest that inhibiting butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) may be worth exploring because of its emerging relevance to AD. To search for potential selective BuChE inhibitors, 118 plants from Northern Samar, Philippines were investigated. The ethanol extracts of the plants were tested for in vitro AChE and BuChE inhibitory activity using Ellman's colorimetric method with modifications. At 100 ppm, 23 out of 118 plant extracts showed AChE or BuChE inhibition greater than 50%. Only 10 of the 23 plant extracts inhibited BuChE selectively, with IC50 values ranging from 13.48 ± 3.90 to 177.9 ± 15.8 ppm. The plant extracts with selective BuChE inhibitory activity include those from the stem of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc. (Zingiberaceae), bark of Sandoricum koetjape (Burm F.) Merr. (Meliaceae), leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (Moraceae), stem and bark of Erythrina variegata var orientalis Linn. (Leguminosae), leaves of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees (Acanthaceae), bark of Hibiscus tiliaceus Linn. (Malvaceae), leaves of Phyllanthus niruri Linn. (Phyllanthaceae), leaves of Annona squamosa Linn. (Annonaceae), and leaves of Hydrocolyte umbellata Linn. (Araliaceae). Further research into these plant extracts could yield herbal formulations and drugs that could be of particular interest in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.
Sparse Spatial Autoregressive and Spatio-temporal Models for COVID-19 Incidence in the Philippines
Authors: Ocampo Shirlee , Barrios Erniel
Published: October 2022

Philippine COVID-19 data have so many gaps resulting from lack of mass testing, late reporting of test results, and unreported cases – leading to too much noise and sparsity. A sparse spatial autoregressive model linking COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates to the healthcare system, demographic and economic indicators, disease prevalence, vaccination, urbanity, and environmental factors is proposed. The model allows for irregular spatial units accounting for temporal dependencies within a neighborhood was estimated using the Cochranne-Orcutt procedure embedded into the backfitting algorithm. Daily COVID-19 cases and deaths across provinces and cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) from 01 April 2020–15 September 2021 show a significant association of COVID-19 prevalence rate with the number of health workers, revenue of the local government unit (LGU), and prevalence of tuberculosis (TB). On the other hand, COVID-19 mortality rates are associated with the number of health workers, number of licensed COVID-19 testing laboratories, number of cities in an LGU, revenue of the LGU, prevalence rate of cancer, and prevalence rate of TB. The models emphasize the importance of resources available in the LGU that can boost the capabilities of the health care system. Pre-existing health conditions (co-morbidities) in the communities also determine the prevalence and mortality rates of COVID-19 in the Philippines.
Optimization Model of Supply Chain Network Design for Small-scale Banana Flour Production Using Deterministic and Metaheuristic Approach

Published: October 2022

Problems concerning low-profit-generating production occur in many small producer enterprises, including banana flour production by small-scale Cavendish banana farmers. One usual difficulty is the inability of these small producers to adjust to market conditions due to limited resources. These farmers are unable to allocate adequate resources such as transport vehicles, equipment, and laborers to various activities in the production process. This paper formulated a mixed-integer linear programming model based on a supply chain network design for banana flour production. This model aimed to determine the optimal number of resources for a producer organization to maximize its total profit. The deterministic branch-and-bound technique and metaheuristic binary firefly algorithm were implemented to obtain the model solution. Based on a case study, both approaches consistently showed that to maximize the profit for small-scale banana flour production, they must operate one mill and one truck with a 4,000- kg maximum capacity and hire nine non-regular and 14 regular laborers. The methodology developed in this study can also be applied to other banana producer organizations with a similar supply chain network to explore alternative enterprises and improve profitability.

Published: October 2022

Isoetes philippinensis, a critically endangered site-endemic lycophyte, was rediscovered after the last collection in 1969. The present study elucidates the morphology and ecology of the species – which have not been fully investigated – by describing the detailed morpho-anatomical characters, collecting water samples for physico-chemical analysis, and providing an in situ description of its habitat. The diagnostic characteristics of the species included long microphylls (up to 63 cm long), cobwebby megaspores and microspores, and the presence of velum. The morphology of I. philippinensis exhibits the features of other aquatic, amphibious and terrestrial species of Isoetes – such as the presence of lacuna in the roots, air chambers in the leaves, reduced stele, and abundance of parenchyma cells throughout the organs. Water-quality values are within the minimum acceptable limit. Threats to the population of I. philippinensis are discussed and characterized as Critically Endangered (CR A1c, B2a). The information presented here is vital for both in situ and ex situ conservation of the species.

Published: October 2022

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. With the clinical success of several synthetic aromatase inhibitors (AIs) as therapeutic agents in post-menopausal estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, natural products have been tapped in search of chemically diverse compounds with potential better effectiveness against aromatase while conferring reduced adverse effects. Alpinia galanga is among the Philippine native medicinal plants with extensive studies on its phytopharmacological properties, yet reports on its human placental aromatase inhibitory activity remain rudimentary. To determine the aromatase inhibitory activity of A. galanga in silico, a total of 119 database-derived A. galanga secondary metabolites were evaluated molecularly docked onto the catalytic site of human placental aromatase using the UCSF Chimera platforms according to the AutoDock Vina BFGS algorithm. To assess binding stability, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the GROMACS software package were carried out. Drug-likeness was assessed in silico using SwissADME. Of the screened compounds, galanolactone (1), 4-(3,4-dimethoxy-trans-cinnamoyl)-trans-cinnamic acid (2), isocoronarin D (3), quercetin (4), β-sitosterol (5), (E)-8ß,17-epoxylabd-12-ene-15,16-dial (6), galangin (7), labda- 8(17),12-diene-15,16-dial (8), 7-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylhept-4-en-3-one (9), and 3,5,7-trihydroxy-4-methoxyflavanone (10) conferred highest binding affinities against aromatase ranging from binding energies of –8.7 to –8.0 kcal/mol with notable formed hydrogen bonds and interactions against key amino acid residues. Top-ranked compounds were predicted to have good druggability, whereas MD simulations demonstrated the stability of the ligands inside the complex. Overall, the study indicates the potential of top A. galanga secondary metabolites as promising drug pharmacophores in developing therapeutics against breast cancer.

Balanced feeding of dairy animals is a costly affair in developing countries due to a lack of sufficient resources. A feeding cum digestion trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dried green Azolla (Azolla microphylla) incorporation in lactating Murrah buffalo’s diet. Multiparous Murrah buffaloes (n = 10) with an average of 30 d in milk and yielding 11.29 kg/d were distributed randomly into two equal groups. The control group of buffaloes was fed a concentrated mixture prepared with commonly available feed ingredients – including maize grain, wheat bran, cottonseed cake, groundnut cake, mustard cake, mineral mixture, and salt – whereas the concentrate mixture of the treatment group was prepared, including 10% of the dried Azolla, by keeping both the concentrate mixtures iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. After 3 wk of preliminary feeding, a digestion trial was conducted for the assessment of nutrient utilization in two groups. Results indicated a positive response on the digestibility of dry matter (P < 0.05), organic matter (P < 0.05), neutral detergent fiber (P = 0.01), and acid detergent fiber (P = 0.015), whereas the digestibility of crude protein and ether extract remained unaffected (P > 0.05). Improvement in the digestibility of different nutrients without influencing the intake of nutrients indicated the importance of dried Azolla in the ration of lactating Murrah buffaloes.

The importance of agriculture across the different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) results from its increased relevance to long-term developmental consequences that affect children and other vulnerable groups. Although encouraging progress has been achieved in documenting nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) in community-based programs through analyses of existing data, much remains to be learned about what, how, and at what cost agriculture can contribute to improving nutrition outcomes. This study aims to explore the perceptions and understandings of local agriculture planners towards NSA in CALABARZON, Philippines. It also aims to describe the current position of the local agriculture planning in the study area. Data were collected using a phenomenological study design using two focus group discussions and five key informant interviews. Municipal agriculturists, municipal agriculture officers, agriculture extension workers, municipal nutrition action office (focus groups), and provincial agriculture officers (key informants) were recruited. Patterns were identified through a rigorous process of data familiarization, data coding, theme development, and revision. It was observed that NSA is a new concept among the local agriculture planners in the study area. Understanding of the participants on NSA mainly focused on improving the nutrient content of the crops produced to improve the nutrient intake of the population. Although the agriculture office has conducted several programs related to nutrition in the past, the continuity of the projects was not sustained. Thus, there is a need to increase the awareness of local institutions towards the importance of improving the nutrition sensitivity of local agriculture plans.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are the most well-documented, “generally regarded as safe” microorganisms used in food fermentation, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Many probiotic strains are utilized for the production of beneficial metabolites, such as bacteriocins and lactic acid, which influence the preservation, organoleptic characteristics, and nutritional properties of food. However, these strains are usually cultured using complex and expensive media, which significantly contribute to the cost of the final product. Thus, this study aims to develop a low-cost alternative medium (LCAM) for the growth and metabolite production of industrially important LAB strains. After several preliminary experiments, an LCAM containing rice bran extract, waste coconut (mature) water, baker’s yeast extract, table sugar, and salts was subjected to a statistically-guided optimization study for growth support of a model LAB strain Lactobacillus plantarum BS. Based on the second-order response mathematical model, the optimized medium composition was 35% rice bran extract and 58% waste coconut water, 1% baker’s yeast extract, 1% table sugar, and 5% salt solution (LCAM A) plus a modified version without baker’s yeast and table sugar (LCAM B). Predicted values were acceptable at 95% (8.91 and 8.88 log CFU/mL) and highly comparable (102% relativity) with the commercial complex medium used as control. Both LCAM formulations were found to support the growth and metabolite production of different LAB genera (L. plantarum BS, Lactococcus lactis NCDO 497, Enterococcus faecalis M4-3, Streptococcus thermophilus BIOTECH 1555, and Pediococcus acidilactici BIOTECH 1068). The LCAM supported the metabolite production of these LAB strains comparable with the commercial medium but is 7.4–7.6-fold cheaper than the cheapest commercial medium. This significant cost reduction has a huge prospect on the large-scale utilization of LAB. Nevertheless, further studies are necessary to enhance the nutritive composition of LCAM for other genera of LAB.
KAJIAN TEOLOGIS KRISTEN, TENTANG MAKNA MEJA MAKAN SEBAGAI SARANA PEMBERITAAN INJIL DALAM KELUARGA

Keluarga adalah merupakan jemaat terkecil dalam persekutuan gereja. Keluarga juga mempunyai peranan penting dalam melakukan pemberitaan injil didalam keluarga untuk mendidik anak dengan baik dan benar yang berlandaskan akan kebenaran Firman Tuhan. Meja makan merupakan bagian yang terpenting dalam keluarga. Meja makan juga bisa dipakai untuk memberitakan injil dalam keluarga. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah penulis ingin mengetahui sejauh mana keluarga Kristen menjadikan meja makan sebagai sarana untuk memberitakan injil dalam keluarga lewat makan bersama sehingga keluarga terhindar dari kehidupan yang tidak sesuai dengan kebenaran Firman Tuhan.

  Metode penelitian yang penulis gunakan adalah metode Kualitatif dimana metode ini penulis meneliti secara langsung kelapangan untuk mencari data atau informasi sedalam-dalamnya yang dilakukan dengan wawancara secara langsung terhadap responden sehingga penulis mendapatkan informasi yang akurat dan terpercaya sehingga dapat melengkapi penulisan karya ilmiah ini.

Hasil dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan menunjukan bahwa, sekarang ini hampir sebagian besar dari keluarga Kristen sudah tidak menjadikan meja makan sebagai sarana untuk memberitakan injil didalam keluarga karena kurangnya perhatian orang tua akan pentingnya persekutuan keluarga dimeja makan mereka lebih mengutamakan aktifitasnya untuk bekerja sehingga kurang ada waktu untuk bersama dengan keluarga dimeja makan. Hanya sebagian kecil dari keluarga Kristen yang menjadikan meja makan sebagai sarana pemberitaan injil dalam keluarga.

Within the ever-growing and quickly increasing field of cyber security, it is nearly impossible to quantify or justify the explanations why cyber security has such an outsized impact. Permitting malicious threats to run any place, at any time or in any context is a long way from being acceptable, and may cause forceful injury. It particularly applies to the Byzantine web of consumers and using the net and company information that cyber security groups are finding it hard to shield and contain. Cyber security may be a necessary thought for people and families alike, also for businesses, governments, and academic establishments that operate inside the compass of world network or net. With the facility of Machine Learning, we will advance cyber security landscape. Businesses these days are gathering immense amounts of user information. Information is at the heartbeat of any business-critical system you'll be able to think about. This co-jointly includes infrastructure systems that are being implemented these days. Today’s high-tech infrastructure, that has network and cyber security systems, is gathering tremendous amounts of data and analytics on almost all the key aspects of mission-critical systems. Whereas people still give the key operational oversight and intelligent insights into today’s infrastructure, machine learning and AI are gaining pace and gathering immense momentum in most of the areas of today’s systems, whether or not it's positioned on premise or within the cyber security house.
Histoire et histoires : ajustement biographique et mythe personnel
Authors: Solti Richard
Published: October 2022

Cet article propose une présentation du concept de « mythe personnel » développé par le psychologue américain D. McAdams. Très peu connu en France, ce concept offre un cadre interprétatif pour modéliser les ressources internes dont disposent les individus. Cela afin de faire face à une crise ou à une rupture dans l’histoire de vie. Issue de la psychologie du développement anglo-saxonne, ce concept prolonge les travaux liés aux histoires de vie, en y apportant des compléments relatifs aux affects, aux émotions et aux dimensions non-verbales de la construction de l’histoire des individus. La thèse défendue par McAdams est qu’en certaines occasions, lorsque l’histoire construite par un individu est ébranlée par de nouvelles expériences qui peuvent aller jusqu’à désorganiser la représentation des précédentes, l’individu peut faire appel dans sa mémoire à quelques mots isolés, à des images plus ou moins organisées par un thème, ou à des récits proches de sensations corporelles. Ces représentations peuvent unir leurs singularités pour donner à l’existence un sentiment d’unité. En organisant la mise en résonance de différents niveaux de souvenirs verbaux, affectifs et émotionnels, le mythe personnel constitue une modélisation du passé, des évènements présents et de la projection dans l’avenir. Il est ainsi une histoire qui continue à être révisée, ayant pour fonction d’alimenter la vie en significations, unité et finalités. En cela, dans une certaine mesure, la révision de son mythe personnel peut donner un autre sens à l’origine du changement ou du maintien d’une trajectoire de vie, en y apportant une cohérence symbolique globale. Pour illustrer les perspectives qu’ouvre ce concept, nous évoquerons tout particulièrement l’engagement d’une recherche sur la reconversion professionnelle des militaires, qui en voie de devenir des quidams, doivent déposer uniforme et arme, et abandonner leur statut de héros potentiel, au profit d’une vie professionnelle beaucoup plus ordinaire.
Les émotions populaires à l’assaut des ambassades
Authors: Aballéa Marion
Published: October 2022

Depuis la généralisation du système diplomatique européen initiée à Vienne en 1815, ambassades et consulats sont devenus les cibles de plus en plus récurrentes d’explosions de colère provoquées par différents types d’émotions collectives. L’article présenté ici vise à analyser les origines de ce phénomène. Centré sur une période – de 1815 à l’entre-deux-guerres – où de tels épisodes étaient d’autant plus transgressifs qu’ils étaient encore exceptionnels, cet article montre comment se forment les différents types d’« émotions diplomatiques » qui font aujourd’hui régulièrement la une de l’actualité. De Téhéran en 1829 à l’Europe ou l’Amérique latine des années 1920, il s’agit de comprendre comment certaines formes d’émotions populaires se sont progressivement tournées contre les représentations diplomatiques, et de s’interroger sur ce que cette nouvelle pratique révèle de l’assimilation du système diplomatique par les populations. La confrontation entre une émotion collective souvent exprimée par la violence et un système de relations codifié et intellectualisé, ne peut être lue comme la simple opposition entre un déchaînement de passions primitives et un comportement rationnalisé ou civilisé. Chacun des épisodes étudiés souligne plutôt l’évolution de la perception de l’artifice diplomatique par les populations aux quatre coins du monde : l’exposition croissante des représentations diplomatiques aux émotions populaires apparaît surtout comme le signe de la progressive reconnaissance de leur représentativité. Le besoin de protection, parfois paranoïaque, est le premier résultat de cette nouvelle vulnérabilité diplomatique : il conduit directement aux ambassades barricadées devenues aujourd’hui familières. Élevant des barrières infranchissables entre diplomates et populations qui les accueillaient, il changea profondément – et sans doute irrémédiablement – le sens du contact et de l’immersion diplomatiques.
Les apories des modèles émotionnalistes en théorie de l’action
Authors: Vimeney Guillaume
Published: October 2022

Réflexion de philosophie empirique, l’article questionne le statut des émotions dans la théorie de l’action contemporaine. Longtemps dénigrées, mises au banc de la pensée, passions et émotions font désormais l’objet de toutes les attentions en sciences sociales. L’essor de ce champ d’étude a entraîné un nombre considérable de travaux théoriques et expérimentaux. Malgré l’intérêt et les espoirs suscités par les modèles émotionnalistes, on peut légitimement s’interroger sur leurs dérives réductionnistes. Biais chauds, filtres cognitifs, « marqueurs somatiques », constitueraient la part prédominante de notre activité mentale. La promesse de réunir corps et esprit, de s’extraire du dualisme cartésien n’était finalement qu’un leurre. Un dogmatisme peut-il en cacher un autre ? Peut-on totalement dissoudre la raison dans les émotions ? L’entreprise de naturalisation du social est-elle devenue inéluctable ? Soulignant les limites à la toute-puissance des émotions, l’article défend une version faible de l’intentionnalisme. Pour ce faire, il s’intéresse notamment aux explications naturalistes du « wishful thinking » (I), c’est-à-dire la tendance à prendre ses désirs pour la réalité. Ces travaux montreraient que nous serions sans cesse victimes d’illusions. Les émotions régiraient notre vie psychique. L’irrationalité motivée permettrait alors de rendre compte de nos biais de jugement. Cette proposition repose sur la distinction de deux systèmes de traitement de l’information : un système automatique et inconscient d’une part, et un système contrôlé et intentionnel d’autre part. N’est-ce pas réinstaurer le dualisme ontologique tant décrié ? A contrario, ces processus semblent liés par des intentions stratégiques. Le phénomène du « wishful thinking » s’expliquerait ainsi par des déraisons de trois ordres : inconscientes (II), conscientes (III) et métaconscientes (IV).
