Published: January 2024

The insurance industry in Indonesia has experienced significant development, but the level of insurance usage remains relatively low. The decision to purchase insurance is influenced by several factors, including income level, premium prices, knowledge level, and other social factors. UBAYA, a university in Surabaya, East Java, mandates every employee, lecturer, and student to use insurance provided by the institution with various types, such as employment and life insurance. Nevertheless, some of them choose to add additional insurance beyond what is provided by UBAYA. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the factors influencing individual decisions to add or not add insurance policies beyond those provided by UBAYA. The method used in this research is Social Network Analysis (SNA). The research results indicate that premium prices play a crucial role in the decision to utilize insurance based on individual income levels. Other factors influencing the decisions of UBAYA lecturers and employees include information provided by insurance agents regarding asset protection and options for medical services abroad. The purchase of insurance is influenced by economic and social factors, as well as a comprehensive understanding of personal needs in utilizing the benefits provided by insurance policies.

Technology is changing the times, and in the future this change is accompanied by an increase in diverse needs and desires, especially shopping needs. Related to this, it also affects the behavior patterns of consumers who make decisions in buying a product. The company has the opportunity to make a profit to maintain its business continuity if the level of sales to consumers is high, whereas if the level of sales to consumers is low, the company will lose money and will ultimately fail to survive. Market competition expects companies to find ways to make their products sell well in the market and have a place in the hearts of buyers. The results of the literature review show that product, price, and promotion affect consumer behavior. This is expected to provide insight to marketers to understand and meet consumer preferences and develop more effective strategies to optimize the most influential marketing variables.

Published: January 2024

The fence is a structure that is deliberately designed to limit or protect the house. The fence serves to provide protection or block views so that the house becomes safer. It is usually pushed manually by hand to open and close the fence. This is considered very inconvenient and time-consuming. This problem underlies the idea of creating an automatic fence opening and closing system using a smartphone by utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology in order to facilitate human work to open and close the fence. A smartphone is used as a NodeMCU controller contained in the ESP8266 WiFi module via an internet connection to connect to the Android Studio application. To move the fence using an electric motor as the driving force which is connected directly to NodeMCU. When the fence opens and closes, the relay will regulate and activate to give orders to the electric motor to move the fence. The fence will stop when the switch opens and the switch close responds, the motor will stop moving. Realtime data results are stored in Firebase and the results of this design are expected that all components are connected properly so that automatic fences can be used.

Published: January 2024

There is a list of limitations for accurate clinical assessment of chronic periodontitis (CP) activity. The search for new mechanisms of pathogenesis leads to the selection of appropriate test substrates and research methods. Today, a number of miRNAs are known, which are involved in maintaining a healthy state or periodontal diseases. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze researches devoted to the role of miRNA in chronic periodontitis and various research methods to clarify the further study. Materials and methods. We followed PRISMA guidelines to conduct this systematic review. To identify the types of miRNAs, and their research methods in CP, PubMed database were systematically screened for medical literature. The articles published from 2019 up to November 27, 2023, were included. The articles were screened by using the search strategy as "chronic periodontitis miRNA". Results. We identified 35 miRNAs whose expression was significantly altered in chronic periodontitis (CP) compared to healthy gingiva. Fifteen of these miRNAs were correlated with the clinical manifestations of CP. The studies differed in the RNA-containing substrates, which included crevicular fluid, saliva, blood plasma, or exosomes from these substrates, as well as gingival biopsies. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR was the final method used for miRNA identification in all the studies. miRNAs are involved in almost all cellular processes and play a crucial role in development, differentiation, and homeostasis. They achieve these functions indirectly by suppressing gene expression, particularly through the inhibition of translation at the initiation stage. Target genes associated with the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis (CP) have been previously identified for some miRNAs. Conclusion. Among the studied miRNAs, there are promising candidates to become targets for correction to optimize treatment, especially considering their predicted or known target genes involved in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis. However, no study has been devoted to pharmacological corrections of altered miRNA expression in chronic periodontitis.

Jute, a renowned biodegradable and sustainable textile fibre, plays a pivotal role in environmentally conscious textile production. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the woolenization process on the qualitative attributes of jute yarn, such as yarn evenness, and tensile and functional properties, with a special focus on the development of wool-like properties. Yarn samples were meticulously prepared from white jute fibre, categorized into three distinct count groups (C8, C10, and C12), and subjected to four treatment categories: untreated (U), woolenized (W), bleached (B), and dyed (D). The results showed that the woolenization process impoverished yarn evenness, with a significant 15.2% increase in CVm for WC8, 74% and 88.6% increase in Thin (-50%)/Km and Thick (+50%)/Km, respectively, for WC10. For tensile properties, a 27% reduction in tenacity and 176.5% remarkable elongation improvement were noted for samples WC10 and WC12, respectively. Furthermore, the development of wool-like properties was noteworthy in functional properties, including a 38.8% increase in Specific Volume Index (SVI), and a 12.8% reduction in moisture content was marked for WC8. The woolenization process also had an adverse effect on jute yarn count and quality ratio, with a deterioration of 12.5% and 32.2% marked for sample WC10, respectively. The results suggest that the bleaching process performed after woolenization negatively impacts yarn evenness. However, dyeing after woolenization and bleaching can enhance overall yarn quality. The outcome of this study will promote the use of natural fibre, and jute over synthetic and natural wool fibres.

Published: January 2024

A multitude of data on infectious endocarditis has already been published so far. Nevertheless, the medical care of patients with infective endocarditis remains a significant challenge, and debates on this topic will continue. The diagnosis of this pathology can be difficult, and the treatment is prolonged and presents many challenges, as patients with infective endocarditis are susceptible to numerous both local and systemic complications. We correlated data from the medical records of patients hospitalized with infective endocarditis to analyze their predisposing conditions, clinical and biological parameters, and treatment outcomes. We concluded that infective endocarditis most commonly affects patients over 60 years who already have structural valve changes, most often involving the aortic valve, with the course of patients being mostly burdened by perivalvular abscesses.

Authors: Fugaretu C. , Sefciuc A. , Misarca C.
Published: January 2024

This is a single-center, non-randomized retrospective study that compares various clinical and evolutionary aspects of patients with perforated gastro-duodenal ulcers in order to determine the best surgical approach. The study included 35 patients who underwent surgical treatment for a perforated gastro-duodenal ulcer at Brașov County Emergency Clinical Hospital (SCJU BV) between January 2021 and January 2023. They were then divided into two groups based on whether the surgery was laparoscopic or traditional. A variety of clinical and paraclinical data were collected and compared. There were no variations in gender distribution, age, or site of the ulcer perforation across the groups. Patients who underwent a laparoscopic procedure had a smaller ulcer perforation, a faster resumption of intestinal transit, and a shorter hospital stay than those who underwent a standard procedure. At 3 days postoperatively, the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and the Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) were significantly lower in the laparoscopic group. Patients who underwent traditional surgery had a higher Boey score, needed more complex interventions, and had a higher rate of postoperative complications and mortality. In perforated gastro-duodenal ulcer cases, the laparoscopic approach is a viable option with numerous advantages, particularly in patients with a low Boey score. Meanwhile, the traditional approach may be reserved for cases with a high Boey score and complex surgical interventions.
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator Modulator Therapy Perspective: Findings in Clinical Outcomes in a Series of Pediatric Patients
Authors: Patran O.C. , Dracea L.L.
Published: January 2024

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most frequent autosomal recessive disorder in Caucasians and has reduced life expectancy. It is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene which results in impairment of production, expression, and trafficking of the CFTR protein. CF has a multifaceted clinical representation with respiratory involvement as a main cause of morbidity and mortality. The multidisciplinary approach, care in specialized centers, early diagnosis through neonatal screening, and development of symptomatic treatments improved survival in the last decades. CFTR modulators were developed based on the discovery of the CF gene in 1989 and the improvement of genetic testing and have changed the perspective of a debilitating disease. These therapies, acting more upstream in the pathogenic cascade, overcome the underlying dysfunctions caused by CFTR mutations, having the ability to enhance or restore the resulting functional effects. CFTR modulator therapies are highly effective treatments for cystic fibrosis patients as shown in many clinical trials and real-life analyses so far. Improvement of quality of life, lung function, and pulmonary exacerbation rates are indisputable targets when evaluating the efficacy and efficiency of medical interventions in such a disease as CF, and they have been substantially changed in the era of modulators. We analyzed a small group of patients who were initiated on Kaftrio as per the indicated protocol. All significant clinical and functional aspects were improved, demonstrating the disease-changing potential of this therapy. We did not observe threatening side effects, no patients were stopped from the medication. CFTR modulators are the beginning of a new era in CF, a perspective for the improvement and effectiveness of precision medicine in CF patients.

Published: January 2024

Przedmiotem artykułu są zmiany wprowadzone w przepisach dotyczących kary łącznej na mocy nowelizacji Kodeksu karnego z 7 lipca 2022 r., w szczególności zaś nowa treść art. 85a określającego dyrektywy wymiaru kary łącznej. Ustawodawca przestawił kolejność tych dyrektyw, wymieniając jako pierwszą dyrektywę prewencji generalnej, a dyrektywę prewencji indywidualnej jako drugą. Zmiana ta może być odczytana jako nadanie priorytetu przy wymiarze kary łącznej dyrektywie prewencji generalnej. Z redakcji art. 85a k.k. wynika, że przy takiej interpretacji katalog dyrektyw wymiaru kary łącznej miałby charakter wyczerpujący. Pozaustawowe kryteria wymiaru kary łącznej wypracowane przez orzecznictwo mogłyby być wówczas uwzględnione wyłącznie w ramach dyrektywy generalno- lub indywidualno-prewencyjnej. Wydaje się jednak, że tak daleko idące wnioski nie są dostatecznie uzasadnione.
Is trans-laryngeal ultrasound (TLUS) an accurate and acceptable tool in the assessment of inducible laryngeal obstruction? A protocol for the ILOTUS: A cross-sectional, two-stage feasibility study
Authors: Slinger Claire , Leong Paul , Spencer Sally , Slinger Richard , Govender Roganie
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) describes an inappropriate narrowing of the larynx during breathing in. ILO can lead to several respiratory symptoms and be misidentified and treated as asthma, with associated patient morbidity and healthcare cost. ILO is also known as vocal cord dysfunction, or paradoxical vocal fold movement. The current reference assessment tool for diagnosing ILO is a video-laryngoscopy. However, timely access to specialist diagnostic laryngoscopy services may be challenging, and laryngoscopy may be poorly tolerated. AIMS: The aim of this cross-sectional, two-stage feasibility study is to determine whether abnormal vocal fold movements associated with ILO can be adequately visualised using trans-laryngeal ultrasound (TLUS) namely, the ILOTUS study: (ILO assessment via trans- laryngeal ultrasound). The second aim is to compare TLUS with a reference standard diagnostic tool to ascertain whether it may serve as a less invasive screening tool to assess ILO. Participants’ opinions about the acceptability of TLUS will also be gathered and compared with responses to a validated symptom score questionnaire. METHODS: In stage one, healthy volunteers (n = 30) will undergo TLUS to assess whether the vocal folds can be visualised,and whether narrowing of the vocal folds can be seen when they mimic ILO. Stage 2 will be conducted with a patient population(n = 30) referred to a tertiary airways service for breathlessness assessment. Participants in stage 2 will undergo the reference standard laryngoscopy as well as simultaneous TLUS. The level of agreement between TLUS and laryngoscopy will be evaluated, as well as comparison of symptom scores. DISCUSSION: This study will help inform future studies of the utility of TLUS in the assessment of ILO. This will be valuable for understanding whether TLUS could be offered as a non-invasive option for patients in the assessment of ILO if they are not able to tolerate or access laryngoscopy diagnostic services. It is not intended that TLUS will replace the current reference standard of video-laryngoscopy but may have potential as an early screening tool if found to be non-inferior.
The Causal Associations between Adipokines and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Cai Xiaoying , Wang Yaqing , Li Ying , Du Zhanxin , Wang Zhongxing
Published: January 2024

Background:

Observational studies have indicated the association of alteration of adipokines with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it remains unclear whether the associations are causal.

Objective:

To determine the causal associations between adipokines and AD.

Methods:

A Mendelian randomization (MR) method was applied to investigate the causal relationships of adipokines, including adiponectin and resistin, with risk of AD. Genetic proxies from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of adiponectin and resistin were selected as instrumental variables. GWAS summary statistics for AD were extracted as outcome.

Results:

In this study, we found evidence of the causal effects of adiponectin on AD (OR: 0.850, 95% CI: 0.731-0.990, p = 0.037). However, no relationship between resistin and AD (OR: 0.936, 95% CI: 0.851-1.029, p = 0.171) was detected. In the reverse causation analysis, null associations of AD were found for adiponectin and resistin (all p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

This study provides evidence of causality between adiponectin and risk of AD. However, no genetic susceptibility of resistin was discovered for AD.
Doubly stochastic subdomain mining with sample reweighting for unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification
Authors: Tang Chunren , Xue Dingyu , Chen Dongyue
Published: January 2024

Clustering-based unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification methods have achieved remarkable progress. However, existing works are easy to fall into local minimum traps due to the optimization of two variables, feature representation and pseudo labels. Besides, the model can also be hurt by the inevitable false assignment of pseudo labels. In order to solve these problems, we propose the Doubly Stochastic Subdomain Mining (DSSM) to prevent the nonconvex optimization from falling into local minima in this paper. And we also design a novel reweighting algorithm based on the similarity correlation coefficient between samples which is referred to as Maximal Heterogeneous Similarity (MHS), it can reduce the adverse effect caused by noisy labels. Extensive experiments on two popular person re-identification datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art works.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Weakness and atrophy in trunk muscles have been associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify isometric exercises resulting the highest trunk muscle activity for individuals with and without CLBP. METHODS: Fourteen males with CLBP and 15 healthy age-matched healthy subjects were recruited for this study. Muscle activity during maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) was measured for a comparative reference with surface electromyography (sEMG) from six trunk muscles. Thereafter maximum EMG amplitude values were measured during eleven trunk stability exercises. The maximal EMG activity in each exercise relative to the MVICs was analyzed using generalizing estimating equations (GEE) models with the unstructured correlation structure. RESULTS: The GEE models showed statistically significant differences in muscle activity between exercises within both groups (p< 0.001), with no significant differences between groups (p> 0.05). The highest muscle activity was achieved with the hip flexion machine for multifidus, side pull with a resistance band for lumbar extensors, side and single-arm cable pull exercises for thoracic extensors, rotary plank and the hip flexion machine for abdominal. CONCLUSION: This study found five isometric trunk exercises that exhibited highest muscle activity depending on muscle tested, with no significant difference between individuals with and without CLBP.

Published: January 2024

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) occurs following a series of histological changes through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). A variable expression of normal and aberrant genes in the tissue can contribute to the development of EAC through the activation or inhibition of critical molecular signaling pathways. Gene expression is regulated by various regulatory factors, including transcription factors and microRNAs (miRs). The exact profile of miRs associated with the pathogenesis of EAC is largely unknown, though some candidate miRNAs have been reported in the literature. To identify the unique miR profile associated with EAC, we compared normal esophageal tissue to EAC tissue using bulk RNA sequencing. RNA sequence data was verified using qPCR of 18 selected genes. Fourteen were confirmed as being upregulated, which include CDH11, PCOLCE, SULF1, GJA4, LUM, CDH6, GNA12, F2RL2, CTSZ, TYROBP, and KDELR3 as well as the downregulation of UGT1A1. We then conducted Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) to analyze for novel miR-gene relationships through Causal Network Analysis and Upstream Regulator Analysis. We identified 46 miRs that were aberrantly expressed in EAC compared to control tissues. In EAC tissues, seven miRs were associated with activated networks, while 39 miRs were associated with inhibited networks. The miR-gene relationships identified provide novel insights into potentially oncogenic molecular pathways and genes associated with carcinogenesis in esophageal tissue. Our results revealed a distinct miR profile associated with dysregulated genes. The miRs and genes identified in this study may be used in the future as biomarkers and serve as potential therapeutic targets in EAC.
International economic law and the reinvention of industrial policy: Opportunities, limitations and risks
Authors: Nahtigal Matjaz
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:

Many studies are focused on traditional (old) or modern (new) industrial policy. There are insufficient studies linking the emergence of the knowledge economy and the institutional requirements to underpin inclusive social and economic development in developed or developing countries.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the knowledge economy and the institutional requirements for more inclusive and sustainable socio-economic developments. Constraints of the international economic law in its current form for more inclusive and sustainable industrial policy in developed and developing countries will be put forward. The inclusive knowledge economy requires not only innovative advanced firms but also innovative and creative public sector employees capable of supporting and disseminating opportunities of the knowledge economy to the entire society. Moreover, the inclusive knowledge economy requires lifelong learning processes of the workforce in developed and developing economies. Therefore, a human dimension, broad participation, and shaping of modern development strategies a key to developing an inclusive and sustainable knowledge economy. Institutional constraints of the international economic framework are currently not adequately supportive of such a structural shift. The objective of this study is to show the possible adjustments at the international and national levels to support the development of an inclusive knowledge economy. The human dimension (participation, creativity, imagination) of the public and private sector goes hand in hand with institutional innovations.

METHODS:

The normative and institutional analysis, embedded in the historical context of industrialization patterns in the selected countries, will provide insights into the institutional requirements for an inclusive knowledge economy.

RESULTS:

The result of the conceptual and normative as well as empirical comparative analysis will provide insights into the possibilities and needs for institutional innovations at the regional, national, and supranational levels of polity while embracing the need for a more supportive international normative context. Several possible institutional innovations at the national levels, such as regional public venture funds, decentralized support, and training centers, are provided. A reform of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures to better delineate between potentially productive and harmful subsidies at the international level can be seen as a reform proposal at the international level.

CONCLUSIONS:

Industrial policies in developed and developing countries will not be able to address the social and economic divides between advanced and stagnating sectors of the economy without addressing the requirements for institutional innovations at all levels of the international polity.
Effects of stretching on muscle strength, endurance, and power performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: dos Reis Alex Lopes , de Oliveira Laís Campos , de Souza Amanda Yasmin Vieira , Stabelini Neto Antonio , de Oliveira Raphael Gonçalves
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND:

The acute and chronic effects of stretching preceding exercises on strength, power and muscular endurance are still not entirely clear in the literature.

OBJECTIVE:

To verify the acute and chronic effects of the main types of stretching (static, dynamic, PNF, and ballistic) on muscle strength, power, and endurance.

METHODS:

A systematic literature search was performed in: PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, Scopus, Science Direct, and CENTRAL. The methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. Meta-analysis were performed using the standardized mean difference (SMD).

RESULTS:

43 studies were included in the systematic review and 30 in the meta-analysis calculations. Only two studies showed high methodological quality. In general, static stretching had an impact on the potentiated the gain in muscle strength of the lower limbs in the long term (0.60 [0.20–1.00]). The acute (ES [Formula: see text] 0.38 [0.05–0.70]) and long-term (ES [Formula: see text] 1.04 [0.21–1.88]) dynamic stretching was able to potentiate the gain of muscle power in the lower limbs, while the acute PNF had an impact on the worsening of the muscular endurance (ES [Formula: see text] 1.68 [0.83–2.53]).

CONCLUSIONS:

When the training objective is linked to acute effects, dynamic stretching should be prioritized before the main activity. For long-term effects, static and dynamic stretching have been shown to potentiate muscle strength and power gain, respectively, and are recommended in these cases.

Neuro-orthopaedic assessment and management in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness: A review
Authors: Thibaut Aurore , Aloisi Marta , Dreessen Joëlle , Alnagger Naji , Lejeune Nicolas , Formisano Rita
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Following a severe acquired brain injury, neuro-orthopaedic disorders are commonplace. While these disorders can impact patients’ functional recovery and quality of life, little is known regarding the assessment, management and treatment of neuro-orthopaedic disorders in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). OBJECTIVE: To describe neuro-orthopaedic disorders in the context of DoC and provide insights on their management and treatment. METHODS: A review of the literature was conducted focusing on neuro-orthopaedic disorders in patients with prolonged DoC. RESULTS: Few studies have investigated the prevalence of spastic paresis in patients with prolonged DoC, which is extremely high, as well as its correlation with pain. Pilot studies exploring the effects of pharmacological treatments and physical therapy show encouraging results yet have limited efficacy. Other neuro-orthopaedic disorders, such as heterotopic ossification, are still poorly investigated. CONCLUSION: The literature of neuro-orthopaedic disorders in patients with prolonged DoC remains scarce, mainly focusing on spastic paresis. We recommend treating neuro-orthopaedic disorders in their early phases to prevent complications such as pain and improve patients’ recovery. Additionally, this approach could enhance patients’ ability to behaviourally demonstrate signs of consciousness, especially in the context of covert awareness.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: There are some rules that furniture designers must take into consideration to design ergonomic furniture. The main design principle is the target group for which the furniture will be designed, considering the dimensions of people who use the furniture. OBJECTIVE: The paper presents the correlation between 12 parts of children’s body, as well as the proportion between stature and 11 other parts of the body which are used for the purposes of furniture and interior designers. METHODS: Field measurements include: Stature (S), Sitting height (She), Shoulder height (Sh), Popliteal height (Ph), Hip width (Hb), Elbow rest height (Erh), Buttock-popliteal length (Bpl), Buttock-knee length (Bkl), Thigh clearance (Tc), Eye height sitting (Eh), Knee height (Kh) and Shoulder breadth (Sb) to pupils aged 6–11 (grades 1 to 5). The measurements were done in 687 children in 12 primary schools in 4 different regions in Kosovo. RESULTS: The data of the study shows that, in general, there is a correlation (in some parts strong and in some medium) for the measured parts. Also, the study presents the proportion between the stature and other parts of the body which are necessary for the design of children’s furniture. CONCLUSION: Using this data will enable furniture designers to easily target the dimensions of the group they will design, even by measuring only one dimension, i.e. stature and then setting the proportions for each piece separately.
GEREJA DAN MODERASI BERAGAMA
Authors: Luji Daud Saleh
Published: January 2024

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mencari nilai-nilai alkitabiah yang dapat dijadikan oleh gereja sebagai kekuatan dalam melakukan moderasi beragama.  Penelitian ini dilakukan mengunakan  penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisa mendalam terhadap berbagai literatur dengan mangacu pada alkitab sebagai landasan biblis utama. Ada empat nilai yang ditemukan dari penelitian ini yaitu 1). Nilai kebaikan dan perdamaian yang direflesikan dari ajaran Raja Daud, Rasul Yohanes dan Rasul Paulus tentang berbuat baik, menjauhi yang jahat, tidak membenci orang lain dan selalu berupaya untuk mencari perdamaian. 2). Nilai mengasihi tanpa dibatasi oleh suku, agama, ras  dan golongan. Nilai ini diperoleh dari cerita nabi Yunus, kisah orang Samaria yang murah hati, kisah penyembuhan yang Yesus lakukan bagi perempuan Sirofenesia dan hamba seorang perwira di Kapernaum dan terakhir karya penyelamatan yang dilakukan Yesus kepada semua orang tanpa memandang suku bangsa dan golongan. 3). Nilai kerukunan yang menurut mazmur Daud dapat mendatangkan berkat bagi semua orang. 4). Gereja yang dipanggil untuk melayani sesama. Yesus dalam keseharianNya bekerja untuk melayani orang dalam segala aspek kehidupan, karena itu gereja dipanggil menjadi alat untuk terus melayani sesama tanpa memandang muka dan inilah nilai pelayanan harus dilakukan oleh Gereja.
