As considerações que fizemos sobre o sacro e a religião num mundo em secularização (cf. REB 1969, pp. 268-307) devem agora dirigir nossa atenção ao problema de Deus neste mundo de hoje. Pois houve notáveis modificações também com relação ao nosso modo de falar sobre Deus, de Deus, a Deus ou com Deus. Isso vale principalmente para nós, padres, dos quais com razão os homens podem e devem esperar que lhes falemos de Deus; mas que lhes falemos de Deus de modo inteligível e aceitável hoje: que hoje os homens se disponham a amar a Deus sôbre tôdas as coisas, de todo o coração, com tôda a alma, com tôda a mente e com tôdas as forças (cf.

Evaluation of weaving craftsmen stations on lighting based on ergonomic principles
Authors: I Ketut Perdana Putra  , I Gede Bawa Susana
Published: March 2023

Evaluation is needed for traditional weaving craftsmen regarding the workstations used in work. This is necessary because traditional weaving is a cultural heritage that the weaving craftsmen community must preserve and use as a source of income. The weaving process uses simple tools by hand when working. In addition, the lighting for his workstation is only sourced from sunlight. This still has a weakness: when the weather is not supportive, such as cloudy or rainy, the light intensity automatically decreases. Of course, it impacts weaving craftsmen because it affects eye fatigue, unnatural work postures, reduced comfort, and reduced productivity. The studies conducted on several libraries and research results show that natural light must be combined with artificial light. Artificial light is added to minimize electricity costs. Lighting is designed to complement natural sunlight by providing at least 500 lumens of light while maintaining a balance between daylight and artificial light, energy efficient and ergonomically designed. The weaving process requires a light intensity of 500-1000 lux because it requires accuracy in producing a piece of woven cloth. Proper lighting that is by the work workers' conditions will reduce eye fatigue, and complaints, work postures become more natural, and increase work comfort and productivity.

Published: March 2023

Due to the epidemic, nursing students were barred from practising in hospitals throughout their co-assistance phase. A comprehensive examination of their perceptions of their skills throughout this period will help enhance education, eliminate gaps, and produce well-trained nurses. Therefore, this study examines co-assistant nursing students' perspectives on their competency and the factors that influence it. The research method was a correlational survey approach. There were 297 co-assistant nursing students chosen as a sample using a consecutive sampling technique from 1085 co-assistant nursing students who were registered at PD-DIKTI. The Nurse Professional Competence Scale Short Form (NPCS-SF), which has 35 items, was used to measure the clinical competence of respondents. Bivariate analysis used the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence interval, while multivariate analysis used Logistic Regression. From the research process, this study found that most respondents perceive that they are less competent in learning during this pandemic (71.4%). It also can be concluded that respondents' satisfaction with learning methods and facilities is significantly related to students' competence (<0.05). Based on the value of OR, respondents who are satisfied with the learning method during the pandemic will be 1.7 times the opportunity to be competent compared to those who do not. From the logistic regression results, only the respondents' satisfaction with learning facilities during the pandemic significantly affected their perceptions of their competence. In conclusion, the clinical competence of co-assistance nursing students is strongly influenced by the learning facilities they get. Pandemic conditions cause students to not be facilitated optimally at a hospital or other clinical settings, ultimately reducing their confidence in the competencies experienced.

Nutritional problems experienced by adolescents include anaemia, malnutrition, and obesity. Teenage girls who live in Al Fadhilah Islamic boarding schools have poor eating patterns, both in quality and quantity. This community service activity was carried out to anticipate stunting incidents through mentoring teenage girls at Islamic boarding schools. Activities include filling out the knowledge questionnaires related to stunting, the measurements of anthropometric, blood pressure, and haemoglobin levels, and the focus group discussion with the theme of the link between stunting and nutritional status, including hypertension and anaemia, as a form of assistance to participants in community service activities. A focus group discussion was held one time, only at the time of initial data collection. The activity results reported that most teenage girls had normal nutritional status based on anthropometry, were not stunted, did not have hypertension, and did not have anaemia. Community service activities in the form of accompanying teenage girls at Islamic boarding schools have not been able to improve the nutritional status of teenage girls significantly because the assistance efforts have not been carried out optimally, which is only done once at the beginning of the activity in the form of a focus group discussion so that it has not been able to change the behaviour of teenage girls.

Authors: Moh Yasir , Jweid Ali
Published: March 2023

Our water quality continues to be negatively impacted by human activities, this is a global problem of critical importance (particularly concerning fresh water and human consumption). Since the 1960s, the critical water quality index (WQI) technique has been used to assess the worldwide water quality state of surface water and groundwater systems. Plans for water resource management must consider extensive data and knowledge about the quality of available water. Water quality indicators are a straightforward technical method for evaluating the state of a river's water quality. In this approach, many water quality characteristics are examined and interpreted in research on river water quality. It can be considered the most important parts of monitoring plans for river quality. In this study, a monitoring plan is achieved for three different stations located on Tigris and branch rivers Al-Dujaili and Al-Gharraf in Wasit/ Kut during the study period for eight weeks from 1/3/2022 to 1/5/2022. Water quality assessment has been conducted using arithmetic quality indices of general water used for drinking and agricultural consumption. It is where the qualitative indices are turned into a single number with no units. Classifying water quality is done by comparing the values ​​of the indices to a scale of ratings that have already been set up. In this study, It has been utilized the Water Quality Index. The following physical and chemical factors are used to determine the water quality index: pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, biological oxygen demand (BOD5), nitrate (NO3), sulphate (SO4), chloride (Cl), and phosphate (PO4). The results showed that each station had a low rating for the water quality index The average readings for the Tigris River were 187.44, Al-Dujaili 211.49 and Al-Gharaf 255.85, showing that Tigris River and its branches' water is seriously polluted for aquatic life due to the discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater from Kut's residential neighbourhoods.

Effective Risk Management using Proactive Approach
Studying effective color transformations for predicting plant evolving stages
Authors: Hamed Riwiz
Published: March 2023

The evolution of plants has resulted in a wide range of complexity, from the earliest algal mats to the complex gymnosperms and angiosperms (flowering plants) of today. One of the challenges in studying plant evolution is to reconstruct the ancestral forms and traits of different lineages. Colorspaces are mathematical models that describe colors in terms of numerical values, such as hue, saturation, and brightness. Colorspaces have been shown to help improve image classification performances among other computer vision applications. Colorspaces can be used to analyze plant color patterns and infer their evolutionary origins and functions. For example, colorspaces can help identify convergent evolution of flower colors among different plant groups that share pollinators. Colorspaces can also help detect cryptic variation in leaf coloration that may reflect adaptation to different environmental conditions. Thus, colorspaces are useful tools for studying plant evolution at different stages and scales.
Responsible Research Assessment Should Prioritize Theory Development and Testing Over Ticking Open Science Boxes
Authors: Dames Hannah , Musfeld Philipp , Popov Vencislav , Oberauer Klaus , Frischkorn Gidon T.
Published: March 2023

We appreciate the initiative to seek for ways to improve academic assessment by broadening the range of relevant research contributions and by considering a candidate’s scientific rigor. Evaluating a candidate's ability to contribute to science is a complex process that cannot be captured through one metric alone. While the proposed changes have some advantages, such as an increased focus on quality over quantity, the proposal's focus on adherence to open science practices is not sufficient, as it undervalues theory building and formal modelling: A narrow focus on open science conventions is neither a sufficient nor valid indicator for a “good scientist” and may even encourage researchers to choose easy, pre-registerable studies rather than engage in time-intensive theory building. Further, when in a first step only a minimum standard for following easily achievable open science goals is set, most applicants will soon pass this threshold. At this point, one may ask if the additional benefit of such a low bar outweighs the potential costs of such an endeavour. We conclude that a reformed assessment system should put at least equal emphasis on theory building and adherence to open science principles and should not completely disregard traditional performance metrices.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackground: Visual attention span (VAS) refers to the number of visual elements processed simultaneously in a multielement array. Yet, whether VAS deficits are markers of developmental dyslexia (DD) have not been systematically explored.Aim: The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relation between VAS deficits and dyslexia.Methods: A meta-analysis based on 31 articles, 53 independent studies, and 4149 subjects was conducted. Effect sizes for each study were calculated and a random-effect model was selected. Task and stimulus types in the VAS task, writing system, orthographic depth, control group type and age were included as possible moderators. Results: 1) VAS in dyslexic individuals was significantly worse than typically developing individuals, 2) task-stimulus type (report-verbal/n-back-verbal/n-back-non-verbal), writing system (alphabetic vs. Chinese) and control group type (age match vs. reading match) had significant moderating effects. That is, VAS deficits were more severe in verbal stimuli based on report task than in verbal and nonverbal stimuli based on n-back task, VAS deficits were more severe in alphabetic language than in Chinese and VAS deficits were more severe when compared with age matched controls than compared with reading matched controls. Conclusion: VAS deficits may be possible etiologies for DD and moderated by task-stimulus type, writing system and control group type. Implications of these findings regarding the understanding of dyslexia were discussed.
Inductive Reasoning can Facilitate Tribalism
Authors: Krueger Joachim Israel , Grüning David Joachim
Published: March 2023

We discuss the concept of tribalism and the role of personal beliefs and cultural stereotypes in shaping social perceptions, arguing that social categorization is the result of psychological processes occurring within individual minds. We further argue that people perceive the social world through the lens of their own scheme of categorization, failing to recognize that others may see a different tribal landscape. The Inductive Reasoning Model (IRM) relies on the individual mind to explain social perceptual phenomena such as intergroup accentuation, ingroup favoritism, and the better-than-average effect. Based on the core premises that individuals view themselves positively and project their own attributes onto those who share their group membership, the IRM explains how intergroup accentuation and ingroup favoritism arise through the use of the Minimal-Group-Paradigm. This projection of self-ascribed attributes onto others who share the same group membership explains accentuation and favoritism, rather than the operation of norms and needs or economic rationality.

Published: March 2023

Modern commercial broilersare genetically selected for increased growth rate, improved feed efficiency,and a significant proportion of breast muscle tissue. Reducing feed conversionrate and days to market weight are of key interest to the industry from asustainability perspective. Dietary and environmental interventions that canattain these improvements without negatively impacting animal welfare are beingincreasingly studied and implemented. In the current study, a previously testedlaser enrichment device and a Spirulina algae feed additive were introduced to 600Ross 708 broilers grown for 7 weeks. Laser enrichment and dietary algae inclusioneach increased weight gain during the grower period (P<0.05 and P<0.10,respectively). Laser enrichment alone increased body weight at d28 by 77g and ond42 by 114g compared to CON (no laser enrichment; P<0.05). Neitherenrichment nor algae inclusion impacted litter moisture or increased contactdermatitis incidence, indicating a performance benefit without reducinganimal-based welfare outcomes.

LAY SUMMARY

Military personnel frequently report actions taken by themselves or others that violate deeply held moral beliefs, which can be experienced as a kind of moral injury. Some have questioned whether existing treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as cognitive processing therapy, are effective for those who have been exposed to a morally injurious traumatic event. These analyses demonstrate that active duty service members and Veterans seeking treatment for PTSD who reported potentially morally injurious trauma had PTSD and depression outcomes that were as good as those whose traumas were not primarily seen as morally injurious, suggesting that cognitive processing therapy is an efficacious treatment for PTSD in the context of morally injurious trauma.

Гострий панкреатит займає третю позицію за частотою госпіталізації поміж усіх ургентних хірургічних захворювань. Оскільки в розвитку цього захворювання має місце подвійна патогенетична складова, а саме: ліпопротеолітична й інфекційна, лікування процесу натикається на значні труднощі, в основі яких – відсутність антибактеріального ефекту. Останнє пояснюється зростаючою резистенцією бактеріальних збудників до антибактеріальних препаратів. Мета роботи. Обґрунтувати клінічними даними доцільність лімфотропного способу введення антибіотиків при гострому панкреатиті, базуючись на пропозиції авторів. Матеріали і методи. Прослідкували перебіг гострого панкреатиту на тлі лімфотропної та стандартної антибактеріальної терапії, вивчаючи ефективність за стандартними показниками. Результати і обговорення. За всіма показниками ефективність лімфотропної антибактеріальної терапії превалювала. Зокрема, тривалість антибактеріальної терапії була коротшою у 1,94 раза, а тривалість стаціонарного лікування – у 1,5 раза. Висновки. Лімфотропна антибактеріальна терапія є адресним накопичувальним способом введення антибіотиків, альтернативним до стандартної антибактеріальної терапії.

The purpose of research is to improve the quality and effectiveness of the treatment of patients with stable angina and subclinical hypothyroidism, living in iodine deficiency regions by complex treatment of dishormonal, dismetabolic, hemodynamic and autonomic disorders and differentiated inclusion in complex therapy low doses of L-thyroxine and L-carnitine in the background of receiving potassium iodide. Use of a standard anti-ischemic therapy and potassium iodide in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and stable angina, living in areas of iodine deficiency, does not improve the laboratory and instrumental manifestations of comorbid pathology. The combination of anti-ischemic therapy and L-thyroxine has positive influence to the improvement of the free-radical oxidation processes and heart rate variability only in the group of patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and duration less than 5 years of stable angina. In the group of patients with a disease duration of more than 5 years for achievement of the target levels of the main indicators of the free-radical oxidation processes and antioxidant defense, as well as the normalization of hemodynamic and autonomic regulation of cardiac activity appropriate to apply combined therapy using a standard anti-ischemic treatment, potassium iodide, L-thyroxine and L-carnitine. Thus, for adequate restore of the clinical condition, hemodynamic parameters and to prevent metabolic disorders in patients with stable angina and subclinical hypothyroidism it is advisable to use a differentiated combination therapy by L-thyroxine and L-carnitine with based receivement potassium iodide.

The influence of long term hypokinezia on the functioning of the erythrocytes system superoxyde dismutase – catalase and some mice tissues is investigated. It is shown that at long term hypokinezia for erythrocytes enzymes system superoxyde dismutase – catalase the phenomenon of cross regulation of activity is characteristic and this finds it’s reflection in negative correlation between the activities of enzymes. It is shown that the long term hypokinezia initiates the damages in processes of receipt and oxygen recycling in muscles and initiation of tissue hypoxia.
Features of compaction of sedimentary rocks of oil and gas deposits
Authors: Mamyashev V. G. , Kuznetsova A. M.
Published: March 2023

The process of compaction of sediments determines the patterns of changes in the properties of rocks of oil and gas bearing sections, primarily their porosity. The porosity of rocks of different lithology varies depending on their depth. The study of the regularities of changes in the porosity of rocks is important for the identification of geological sections, for substantiating the intervals of the existence of reservoirs with intergranular porosity type, for forecasting the properties of support layers by section and for methodological support for the geological interpretation of the materials of geophysical studies of wells. The existing concept of gravitational compaction of sediments doesn't reflect a number of features of this process of rocks in real conditions. The article substantiates the conditions of precipitation formation corresponding to their transition to an initial relatively stable state. The features of precipitation formation in the initial marine and continental conditions, as well as the features of their formation in permafrost strata are substantiated.

The general patterns and features of the compaction curves of typical sandstones and clays are considered according to the data of reference wells drilled within the West Siberian oil and gas basin.
Factors of influence on the development of self-induced hydraulic fracturing cracks
Authors: Syundyukov A. V. , Sagitov D. K.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the regularities of the propagation of self-induced hydraulic fracturing cracks in the process of injection of the displacement agent into the formation in order to maintain reservoir pressure. Technogenic and petrological factors have a significant impact on the processes of initiation, propagation and degradation of self-induced hydraulic fracturing cracks. In modern oil and gas field practice, we are just beginning to use geomechanical simulators for private calculations and have not yet used them in integrated calculations of field development options, nevertheless, the influence of geomechanical processes of the spread of man-made cracks makes a significant contribution to the field development indicators. The aim of the study is a complex of factors that prevent and contribute to the development of self-induced hydraulic fracturing cracks. The study uses the author's methodology for estimating the crack length of a selfinduced hydraulic fracturing depending on the downhole pressure in the injection well. The results of the work have developed a classification of factors influencing the development of self-induced hydraulic fracturing cracks, a quantitative analysis of the differences in the characteristics of the spread of man-made cracks for two deposits with different geomechanical and hydrodynamic properties. The work makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the laws of the development of man-made cracks and has broad prospects for development, allowing us to significantly improve the current 3D digital models and analytical filtration models, which will improve the production of field reserves and increase the value of the oil recovery factor.
