Girl Talk: The Role of the "Speakings" in the Pastoral Care of the Older Girls' Choir
Authors: Faull Katherine
Published: May 2022

In marked contrast to contemporary eighteenth-century cultural and political inscriptions of the body, the Moravians articulated a radical body dialectic in which the natural manifestations of manhood and womanhood were considered to be integral elements of manifested spiritual consciousness. However, the positive corporeality of eighteenth-century Moravian faith attracted fierce criticism to the group, as the hyper-realistic linguistic and artistic depictions of the significance of the crucified Christ gave rise to virulent attacks on the ethical practices of the Moravian Church. From Goethe's age until now, both the parties of reason and religion have been fundamentally threatened by the intertwining of faith and the body and the concomitant spiritual and religious enactment in the Moravian Church. Tire Principia and the Instructions that were compiled by the synods directly after Zinzendorf's death constitute unique examples of a codification of what had been a tradition and rite within the renewed church since its very inception in 1722. This article examines the implementation of the Instructions specifically within the older girls' choir, the content of the Instructions, and explores the memoirs of eighteenth-century Bethlehem sisters for evidence of their efficacy.

"Honor to the Side": The Adoration of the Side Wound of Jesus in Eighteenth-Century Mordvian Piety
Authors: Vogt Peter
Published: May 2022

The wounded side of Jesus Christ played an important role in the theology and devotional life of the eighteenth-century Moravian community. The adoration of the side wound manifested itself in various ways, ranging from hymnody and preaching to graphic art and ceremonial installations. In the context of a theology of the atonement, the wounded side of Christ signified a place of refuge, an opening out of which the church was "born," and an eschatological token by which Christ will be recognized at the time of his second coming. The Moravians expressed these ideas in a peculiar language that contemporaries often found shocking and that continues to be a puzzling phenomenon for modern scholarship. Especially the description of the side wound as a place of giving birth has given rise to controversial theories about abnormal sexual practices and concepts of gender. At the same time it has become increasingly clear that the Moravian devotion to the side wound must be considered in the context of a larger tradition of side wound piety, going back to early and medieval Christianity and also present in Renaissance art and Lutheran hymnody.
Where the Huck is Finn? The Hunt for Huckleberry Finn in Hannibal, Missouri
Authors: Zima Dustin
Published: May 2022

Missouri's Visitor's Bureau and Chamber of Commerce have dubbed the Mississippi River town to be "America's Hometown" in honor of its most famous citizen, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain. In Hannibal, Tom Sawyer, with what are believed to be his endearing shenanigans and humorous pranks, is presented to tourists, as well as residents, as the ideal boy. Huckleberry Finn, on the other hand, is swept under the rug so as not to burden visitors and/or townspeople with Hannibal's true slaveholding past, and the racism still lingering in the present.
Effect of Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid on Re-epithelialization and Bacterial Bioburden in Acute Wounds: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy Volunteers
Authors: Burian Ewa A. , Sabah Lubna , Kirketerp-Møller Klaus , Gundersen Glenn , Ågren Magnus S.
Published: May 2022

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the wound-healing effect and antimicrobial properties of a novel stabilized hypochlorous acid solution on acute wounds, using a suction blister wound model. One suction blister was raised and de-roofed on each forearm in 20 healthy volunteers. Stabilized hypochlorous acid/control (sterile 0.9% NaCl) solutions were assigned to either wound by randomization. Wounds were irrigated and treated on days 0, 2 and 4. Re-epithelialization was assessed blindly by digital planimetry, and bacterial growth was assessed as the number of colony-forming units cultured from surface swabs. Hypochlorous acid solution increased the degree of re-epithelialization on day 4 by 14% compared with the control solution (95% confidence interval (CI) 6.8–20%, p = 0.00051) and was not inferior (p < 0.0001) to the control solution on day 10 (0.3%, 95% CI –1.3–1.9%). Median bacterial counts were lower with stabilized hypochlorous acid compared with control and were further reduced after irrigation and treatment of both groups on day 4, but remained lower in the stabilized hypochlorous acid group compared with the control group. This study demonstrates immediate and durable antimicrobial action and a beneficial effect on acute wound healing after irrigation and treatment with a stabilized hypochlorous acid formulation.

However, institutional interventions must be implemented to provide training to students to improve digital competence, strategies to become independent learners, and time management.
Pre-Service English Teachers’ Experiences of Peer-Reviewing in L2 Writing
Authors: Subekti Adaninggar Septi
Published: May 2022

This case study explored pre-service English teachers’ experiences in peer review activities in second language (L2) writing class through secondary data analysis of the participants’ final reflections and peer review documents. The present study used secondary qualitative document analysis as the method. It used two types of secondary data. The study found that learners were still unconfident in giving feedback on grammar and considered assessing peers’ works objectively tricky. However, conducting peer review compelled them to study independently and facilitated them to realise their mistakes. Learners realised the importance of giving clear and accurate feedback but at times struggled to do so due to limited ability. The findings showing learners’ repeated concerns on grammatical aspects in their reflections whilst the peer review activities also included organisation and coherence aspects may indicate that learners prioritised accuracy more than organisation of ideas.  Furthermore, several learners appreciated their peers' feedback regardless of quality as a part of learning. It is suggested that peer reviewing is conducted regularly to facilitate learners to learn from each other and to conduct studies on the extent the peer reviewers’ feedback is used to improve the reviewees’ writing.

Guided endodontics by Niraj Kinariwala and Lakshman Samaranayake, editors. Cham, Switzerland: Sringer Nature; 2021
Authors: Tkachenko Oleksandr
Published: May 2022

Endodontic guides (synonyms: endoguides, endodontic templates, 3-dimensional endoguides) guarantee two things: minimal invasiveness of the procedure and high level accuracy. That is why two editors, Niraj Kinariwala and Lakshman Samaranayake, united another 18 contributors from totally 6 countries (Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, Hungary, and India) bringing to the world Guided Endodontics.
The textbook consists of 10 Chapters; all of them are dedicated to planning, manufacturing and application of all types of endodontic guides: (1) types depended upon their use in endodontic treatment (non-surgical and surgical guides), (2) types depended upon their support, and (3) types from classification of surgical endodontic templates.
Perfect illustrations: computed tomography (CT), micro-CT data, virtual surgical planning, digital workflow, intraoperative images, and control X-rays immerse the reader in the smallest details of the guided treatment.
Chapter 8, “Static Guided Approach in Surgical Endodontics” perfectly describes guided microscopic root-end resection using stereolithographic manufacturing what is extremely useful in modern practice.
In summary, this textbook is a phenomenal chance for every endodontists to absorb all we need to know about state of the art principles and techniques of guided endodontics. I can honestly say that with profound knowledge and appropriate implementation of these techniques any practice limited to endodontics will reach the highest level of modern endodontic specialty.
Minimally Invasive Approaches in Endodontic Practice by Gianluca Plotino, Editor. Cham, Switzerland: Sringer Nature; 2021
Authors: Tkachenko Oleksandr
Published: May 2022

A new must-read textbook, Minimally Invasive Approaches in Endodontic Practice, is designed by top experts for the future generation of specialists in endodontics. The textbook consists of 9 beautifully-written Chapters carefully prepared by 18 co-authors from 11 countries (Brazil, Canada, France, Greece, Hong Kong [the Special Administrative Region, China], Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, United States of America, and Venezuela) under the leadership of Gianluca Plotino (Italy).
For the practitioners who are only starting to grow or already deeply specialize in endodontic microsurgery, the Chapter 7, “Minimally Invasive Approach to Endodontic Retreatment and Surgical Endodontics” by Mario Zuolo (São Paulo, Brazil) and Leandro Pereira (Campinas, Brazil) is the useful one. The chapter highlights important data in a very informative academic way. The table 7.1 is more than worth of attention due to the state of the art comparison of technical differences between macro- and microsurgery. The apical microsurgery success rate of around 90 percent comparing to less than 60 percent of macrosurgery clearly shows the advantages of the first one. Perfect illustration of retrocavity filing (i.e., retrofilling) is a role model part of protocol of the microsurgical management for the apical root region.
In summary, this textbook is a very important source of knowledge and practical skills for every dental practitioner related more or less with the endodontics.
Review of “Endodontic Microsurgery of Posterior Teeth with the Assistance of Dynamic Navigation Technology: A Report of Three Cases” by Fu and Colleagues in Journal of Endodontics 2022; Article in Press
Authors: Tkachenko Oleksandr
Published: May 2022

Implementation of pioneering technologies in surgical specialties is not an easy task and certainly needs a well-described manual. The article of Fu and colleagues is just a manual for the implementation of dynamic navigation-assisted endodontic microsurgery. The publication is prepared by four Chinese co-authors and highlighted on eight pages of precisely illustrated case series. Accordingly to literature there were no previous published cases of the application of dynamic navigation-assisted technology as a companion technology to endodontic microsurgery. The authors are first to report this technology applied to the posterior teeth of the maxilla (one case) and mandible (two cases).
A preoperative diagnosis in all the presented cases was a chronic periapical periodontitis. Clinical procedures of the dynamic navigation technique included: (1) preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning, (2) a dynamic navigation system (DHC-ENDO1, DCARER Medical Technology, Suzhou, China) was used for the preoperative surgical path designing, (3) calibration and registration, and (4) real-time dynamic navigation. The endodontic microsurgery in all cases was performed using OPMI PICO microscope (Carl Zeiss, Gottingen, Germany) which I`m also using in my practice.
In these three molar cases, the authors proved that the novel approach in dynamic navigation–assisted endodontic microsurgery is a feasible, predictable, and timesaving combination of technologies and surgical technique.
Klasifikasi Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah Menggunakan Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan Backpropagation
Authors: Hardoyo T , Eko Eko Hari Parmadi
Published: May 2022

Nowadays, the development of Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM) is quite rapid. Updating data is very necessary to find out how far the development of UMKM is every year.UMKM are divided into three criteria, namely: micro, small, and medium. The problem is to determine the criteria for an UMKM based on several attributes such as: No, District, Kelurahan, Company Name, Owner's Name, Address, Telephone/HP, Type of Business, Number of Employees, Assets, Turnover, Year of Establishment, and criteria as labels. This takes a long time for the Government to determine the criteria for UMKM. This study uses data from the 2018 UMKM in the city of Bandung. ThisUMKM data will be used for classification so that criteria data can be obtained faster. The classification method used is backpropagation. The data used in this study amounted to 5219 data with 12 attributes and 1 criteria label. The 12 existing attributes are then selected into 4 attributes according to the attribute ranking. Data testing using 3-fold cross validation resulted in an accuracy of 98.4294% with the most optimum network architecture: 30 neurons, using two hidden layers, logsig activation function, trainlm training function, input layer 4 nodes and output layer 2 nodes.

Antibiotics being an effective antibacterial did not really last long as expected. This is because as soon as they were discovered, bacteria started developing resistance against it. Even though studies have shown that resistance genes existed long before the discovery of antibiotics, the reason why we have increased growth in antibiotics resistance is as a result of misuse and overuse of the agents in human and agricultural settings. The aim of this study is to identify the common bacterial species in wastewater and to determine their resistance pattern to regularly/commonly used antibiotics.  Samples were collected from the general wastewater channel of the state specialist hospital, Maiduguri. The bacterial isolates identified were Enterobacter spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp, Proteus spp, Klebsiella spp, Salmonella spp, Bacillus spp, Coagulase -ve Staphylococcus and other Coliform spp. The antibiotics susceptibility of the bacterial isolates was assayed using the disc diffusion method; OPTUDISCs. The level of sensitivity was highest with   Ofloxacin and Levofloxacin having 78.5% and 75%, while resistance was highest with Cloxacillin, Augumentin, Ampicillin and Tetracycline with 96.4%, 89.2, 88.9 and 85.1% respectively. This shows that except for Levofloxacin, all isolates have already been exposed to antibiotics, which resulted in them developing multi resistance. As a result of this multi resistance, there is need to develop other alternative therapy that will be able to tackle antibiotics resistance and surveillance on trends in antibiotic resistance.
Optimal Home Energy Management Considering Uncertainties in Occupancy, Consumption, and Electricity Price
Authors: Dindar Amin , Mohagheghi Salman
Published: May 2022

Power utilities issue demand response (DR) during the hours of peak load in order to reduce the demand on the network and provide congestion relief to overloaded circuits. While traditional residential DR programs are mainly one-way in the form of remote on/off control of air conditioning (A/C) units, residential customers can adopt a more proactive role through utilizing the capabilities of smart meters and home energy management systems (HEMS). HEMS can monitor energy rates and DR incentives, and accordingly change the temperature setpoint of the A/C unit and/or shift appliance loads from peak to off-peak hours in order to maximize financial benefits. All this can be achieved in an automated human-out-of-the-loop fashion. From the HEMS’ standpoint, the task can be viewed as solving an optimization problem with the goal of reducing power consumption while maximizing financial gains. However, another equally important goal would be to ensure that the comfort level of residents, if present in the building, is not compromised. This is especially crucial during periods of extreme temperatures where maintaining an acceptable indoor temperature has a direct impact on the residents’ health, especially children and the elderly. What makes this multi-objective optimization problem more challenging is the uncertain nature of some model parameters, e.g., electricity rates, building occupancy levels, and demand. This paper presents a novel solution for energy management of a smart home using DR by considering the above factors. To ensure that the solution found is feasible against all possible uncertainties, a robust model is developed and solved for a given time horizon. As shown through simulation results, considering uncertainties are necessary, since they can change the solution in a nonnegligible way.

An experiment was conducted in a 19-years old aonla orchard from October 2019 to January 2020 at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) research farm to determine the performance of different radish varieties in aonla based multistoried agroforestry systems. The study consisted of two factors viz. four agroforestry systems (aonla + carambola, aonla + lemon, aonla only, and open field) and four radish varieties (BU mula-1, BARI Mula-1, BARI Mula-2 and Rocky 45) laid out in a two factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. Findings exhibited that light availability in the open field was 727.02 µmol m-2s-1 which was significantly higher over the aonla based multistoried agroforestry systems. Light received by the aonla + lemon, aonla, and aonla + carambola systems were 74.13, 65.57, and 52.77% of the open field, respectively. The highest (276.47 g) leaf fresh weight produced by Rocky 45 was noticed in aonla + carambola system and the lowest leaf weight produced by BU mula-1 was found in an open field. The highest root fresh weight (592 g) was produced by Rocky 45 in the open field, and the lowest root fresh weight (102.60 g) was produced by BU mula-1 in aonla + carambola based system. The highest root yield (39.47 t/ha) of Rocky 45 was produced in an open field and a higher leaf yield (18.43 t/ha) was reported in BU mula-1 among four radish varieties. Among four radish varieties, Rocky 45 performed better yield in open field conditions and aonla based agroforestry system.

2019-2020 enrollment data for universities and colleges reports that the number of students enrolled exclusively in online programs increased from 3.5 million to 5.8 million, an increase from 17.6 percent to 22.7 percent. This is higher than previously reported. The number of programs and courses that institutions of higher education offer online are continuing to increase in response to meeting the needs of a diverse population of students. Yet, a group that is significantly impacted in meeting specific needs with online learning are students diagnosed with one or more disabilities. According to the United States (U.S.) National Council on Disability, in 2015 approximately 11 percent of undergraduate students have a disability, equating to approximately 11 million individuals. In supporting students with disabilities, a larger population are positively impacted. Providing typed transcripts or closed caption for videos and lectures is imperative for an individual with a hearing disability, but it also improves learning for students where English is a second language. Few institutions would argue the importance of providing needed access and support to students, yet there may be a disconnect with faculty having the understanding and training to support online learning utilizing Assistive Technology (AT). Possessing the skillset to implement AT in online courses lags significantly. This paper evaluates current trends related to college students with disabilities and the impact of providing AT to improve online academic success, the role faculty play in developing and teaching courses that implement AT, as well as the responsibility of college and university administration in supporting the implementation of these strategies. Examples of implementation of AT in business courses is presented and discussed.

Published: May 2022

The continuous global financial, geopolitical, structural, and societal crisis needs a holistic societal or geopolitical transformation framework. This framework can be important to predict global incoming wave of organized misdeeds. A holistic protective Financial & Technical (FinTech) activity is based on control, governance, and audit prerequisites; such prerequisites are crucially needed to predict global financial predators before they execute their fatal misdeeds. These protective controlling processes depend on measurable framework variables, like Critical Success Factors (CSF), which evaluate the possibilities of possible predator’s financial misdeeds and tries to define sources of such organizations and even countries. The framework can be also used for the dependence of the evaluation of societal or organizational transformational processes, which can block global financial crimes, or a SOGFP_TB. This article discusses in depth the concept of a framework that can be applied to support SOGFP_TB, which can be a structural manner to detect global destructive financial crimes, by applying the Global Financial Crimes Analysis (GFCA), and for that goal a strategic vision is needed for the integration of FinTech risks and controls mitigation mechanisms. The GFCA is fundamental for the organization’s long-term societal and business longevity; and also, for combatting SOGFP. Besides all the previously presented facts, this article highlights SOGFP_TB’s importance for the organization, to optimally integrate the global economy in a coordinated, controlled, and above all in an ethical manner. Knowing that SOGFP_TB’s appliance, is complex, risky and difficult; but the SOGFP_TB is needed to combat the irregularities, like the Swiss Fatal Financial Traps (SFFT) ones, which are well organized and sealed.

Crowdfunding is a new era financing alternative. It has been well accepted worldwide and the sustainability was empirically proven. Despite the popularity, rapid growth, and overwhelming acceptability worldwide, yet still to be unfamiliar relatively to many people. Especially in the Malaysian context where there is very little understand about how, why, where, when and what type of crowdfunding (business area) users prefer to engage. Accordingly, agriculture is yet to be among the Malaysian main industries since post-independence. However, as reported for the past couple of years, the Growth Domestic Product (GDP) for agriculture is still far behind Manufacturing and Services industries. Among the issues were low up take of agriculture technology and innovations due to high initial investment, high risk, hard to access for loan. As crowdfunding is a new emerging financing alternative, thus this paper is to understand the potentials and challenges of Agricultural Technology-Based Crowdfunding (ATCF). For a better understanding, we performed a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews of above 18 years old Malaysian citizen. The respondents were randomly engaged. Data from the interviews were later transcribed into verbatim, analysed within and cross cases, coded, categorised, and grouped into the emerging themes. The findings were displayed in a table in responding to the research objectives. Few future research have also been identified and proposed to strengthen the study on the subject matter.
