Authors: Gabriel Dhandi  , Sutrisno Sutrisno  , Yusak Tanasyah
Published: October 2023

Based on the results of a survey which shows that Christian youths view church and spiritual activities as no longer attractive, such as prayer, worship, quiet time, reading the Bible and other spiritual activities. This causes Christian youth to experience an identity crisis, moral degradation and is easily influenced by today's juvenile delinquency. Even though they are important assets for the church, nation and state. This also happens to Christian youth at PPA GBT Kristus Ajaib Tulungagung and the reason is because they do not have a good spiritual life and even underestimate their spiritual development. This study used a qualitative field method with an observation and direct observation approach. So that the results of direct observation and observation can describe about attainment an overview of the research objectives, namely to provide a series and presentation of authentic data on the implementation of the application of Christian youth spirituality development at PPA GBT Kristus Ajaib Tulungagung using Donald S. Whitney's theory of Spirituality Development.
Implementasi Pendidikan Agama Kristen Melalui Family Education
Authors: Erwin Zai  , Yanuar Ada Zega  , Nikarni Zai
Published: October 2023

Implementation of PAK through family education is really very important to do. To describe the implementation of PAK in the family, the authors use library research as a method. The background of this research is because there are obstacles in the process of applying PAK in families that are affected by the weakening of parents as educational figures. Of the many, one of the causes of PAK not manifesting satisfactorily in the family is parents who have not yet been born again. It means that parents still don't really think about themselves as disciples of Christ and feel that they are the main and first educators in the family. For this reason, parents must be aware that actualizing PAK in the family is their responsibility. Realizing effective PAK in the family, parents must educate their family members that PAK has a role and function as a change carrier that is dynamic, progressive, and transformative towards spiritual growth and development. The research carried out aims to contribute ideas to the problem of implementing PAK in families that have not been realized satisfactorily. The final conclusion of this article is that the implementation of PAK through family education is very much needed by today's Christian families.
Urgensitas Pemahaman “Kerusakan Manusia Sebagai Gambar Allah” Dalam Pelayanan Pastoral Konseling Bagi Warga Gereja
Authors: Nehemia Nome
Published: October 2023

This article uses the library research method. The research conducted is an attempt to describe the "Significance of Understanding Human Damage as the Image of God in Pastoral Counseling Services for Church Members". This research aims to contribute thoughts on the problems currently being experienced by some members of the church. The problem is, there are not a few church members who still do not maintain the divinity of God's attributes within them. Thus, the tendency that occurs is that church members act arbitrarily without realizing that they are the image and likeness of God; who has a role as a representative in this world in protecting and caring for His creation. So as an alternative problem solving, one of the most effective approaches is pastoral counseling services. Through the pastoral counseling service, church members must be educated and guided so that they realize that within themselves there are attributes of God that must be maintained with holiness. One of the ways is by avoiding various things that mix and are related to sin.

Study of corrosion properties of carbon steel, 304 and 316L stainless steels in sulfuric acid and their degradation products
Authors: KHAMME Eakapoj , SAKDANUPHAB Rachsak
Published: October 2023

In this study, corrosion properties of carbon steel and stainless steels, and degradation of sulfuric acid by the corrosion mechanism are presented. Carbon steel (CS), 304 stainless steel (SS304), and 316L stainless steel (SS316L) specimens were analyzed through their electrochemical response by using a potentiostat measurement. The specimens were submerged in concentrated 98 wt.% of H2SO4 acid for 0 day to 60 day. The degradation of H2SO4 was determined by its volume change, turbidity, and color due to the corrosion mechanism. Corrosion rate of CS, SS304 and SS316L specimens are 43.237 mm/year, 0.420 mm/year and 0.086 mm/year, respectively. After 60 days, the weight-loss of CS, SS304 and SS316L specimens are 48 wt%, 33 wt% and 0.1 wt%, respectively. Corrosion resistance of the materials are influenced by the passive oxide layer that forms on its surface and associated with electrochemical activity or semiconductive composition. The degradation of H2SO4 acid was observed due to the corrosion process of specimens and related to the turbidity and volume increase while the wt% concentration of H2SO4 acid decreases. In order to make material choices that enable continuous and safe operation of the process, it is important to understand the corrosion mechanism changes.

Published: October 2023

Aim: This aim of this study was to compare the effects of different chelating agents [ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), glycolic acid (GA) and citric acid (CA)] on the push-out bond strength (POBS) of two calcium silicate-based silicate cements (CSC) (Biodentine and PD MTA White).
Methodology: Dentin discs of 1 ± 0.2 mm thickness were taken from the middle root region of thirty-nine extracted mandibular premolar teeth and two holes (1 mm diameter) were drilled in each disc (n = 78 holes). The samples were then randomly divided into three groups (n = 26 holes) according to the final irrigation agents: Group 1: 20% CA, Group 2: 17% EDTA, Group 3: 10% GA. Then, two different materials were applied to the holes in each group (n = 13 holes): a: PD MTA White, b: Biodentine. POBS test was performed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The dentin discs were examined under stereomicroscope (25×) to assess the bond failure type.  Data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and comparison of main effects was examined with the Bonferroni test, and multiple comparisons were analysed with the Tukey HSD test. The level of signifcance was 5%.
Results: Biodentine showed significantly higher POBS than PD MTA White (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the final irrigation agents (p > 0.05). CA – Biodentine group showed substantially higher POBS than EDTA – PD MTA White, CA – PD MTA White, and GA – Biodentine groups   (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: While CA increased the POBS of Biodentine significantly, the POBS of PD MTA White was not affected by the final irrigation agents.

Air pollution is an environmental risk for the general population and for patients with various diseases, particularly respiratory diseases. Little data are available on personal exposure, but the recent emergence of low-cost air quality sensors (LCSs) should enable a better understanding
of the health impacts of air pollution at the individual level. However, the reliability and accuracy of most sensors in the market have not been established, and a thorough understanding of their strengths and limitations is needed. We therefore conducted a review to address the following
questions: 1) What is an LCS and what is the extent of its possible application? 2) Is the data obtained a reliable indicator of exposure? 3) What are the advantages and disadvantages of LCSs? 4) Could LCSs be useful in investigating the impact of air pollution on respiratory health? Further
studies are needed to promote the use of LCS in research settings and among respiratory patients. This will allow us to monitor exposure levels, provide alerts and study the respiratory effects of individual-level air pollution.

Published: October 2023

Neste artigo, tendo em vista a grande relevância do estudo do desenvolvimento histórico de conceitos matemáticos na contribuição para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática, buscamos identificar as influências dos processos antigos de cálculo de áreas e volumes nos métodos modernos de integração e as possíveis influências destes em métodos mais avançados. Assim, propomos uma revisita a história da teoria de integrais, na busca de um melhor entendimento dos processos avançados de integração. Para tanto, trazemos as influências da matemática grega para o Cálculo Integral, abordando o método da exaustão, e posteriormente trazemos as contribuições dos inventores do Cálculo: Newton e Leibniz, e as influências sofridas por estes. Em seguida discutimos os Métodos clássicos de Integração com ênfase nas contribuições de Cauchy (1789-1857) e Riemann (1826-1866). Já sobre os Métodos Avançados de integração, apresentamos inicialmente a integração no sentido de Lebesgue-Riesz, enfatizando os estudos de Lebesgue (1875-1941), bem como a abordagem de Riesz (1880-1956) para a integração no sentido de Lebesgue como uma possibilidade de minimizar dificuldades encontradas no processo. Por fim, trazemos nossas considerações, onde comentamos sobre a pesquisa que estamos desenvolvendo, que propõe o ensino de elementos conceituais da integral de Lebesgue na graduação.

Experimental study of the fracture of CT specimens printed in PLA as a function of the raster width
Authors: Aourik O. , Othmani M. , Chouaf A.
Published: October 2023

The FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) additive manufacturing process is characterised by a large number of process variables that determine the mechanical properties and quality of the manufactured parts. When printing layer by layer, the filaments constituting the layer are welded on the one hand between them in the same layer and on the other hand between the superimposed layers, this welding develops on the contact surfaces (raster width) along the deposited filaments. The quality of this welding determines the resistance to crack propagation between filaments and between layers. This article aims to study the effect of the width of the raster on the resistance to crack propagation in a structure obtained by FDM.We have developed an experimental approach from CT specimens to determine the tensile strength of polylactic acid (PLA) polymers, considering the J-Integral method. And given the complexity of the problem, three cases of raster width (l=0.42 mm, l=0.56 mm and l=0.68 mm) have been treated.According to the results obtained (J, ∆a), the resistance to crack propagation in the parts printed by FDM seems to be better when the width of the filament is small. Indeed, the energy necessary to break the specimen is relatively greater than in the case of a larger width. This finding was confirmed by comparing the values of J for a given advancement of the crack for the three cases studied.In order to present an exhaustive study, we focused on the effect of raster widths (including 0.42 mm, 0.56 mm to 0.68 mm) on the crack propagation of printed PLA. This study is in progress for other printing parameters. To highlight the cracking mechanisms, microscopic observations will be developed in greater depth at the SEM.Our analysis can be used as decision support in the design of FDM parts. In effect, we can choose the raster width that would provide the resistance to crack propagation desired for a functional part.In this article, we analysed the damage mechanism of CT specimens printed by FDM. This subject represents a new direction for many lines of research. For our study, we used the J-Integral theoretical approach to study the fracture behaviour of these parts by determining the resistance curves (J-∆a).

Expanding Climate Change Education in Agricultural Communities: Lessons from the U.S Midsouth
Authors: Tewari Rachna , Simpson Mark , Letot Carson , Mehlhorn Joey , Foster Daniel , Musunuru Naveen , Parr Brian
Published: October 2023

The U.S agricultural industry is a major player in the global market, and changes in climate that impact the industry have implications for both domestic and global food security. Existing studies have revealed a disconnect between agricultural stakeholders and the wider climatological community which impedes the process of informed decision making in response to climate-related changes in agriculture. Furthermore, the topic of climate change is not well-represented in national and state science education standards. We propose CLASS (Climate Literacy for Agriculture and Sustainable Societies), a collaborative project that aims to both bridge this gap in perception and understanding regarding climate change among stakeholders in rural communities and enhance the educational curriculum in high schools and higher education institutes. Beneficiaries for this project are students and educators at the secondary and post-secondary level and partners served by the partnering universities. The final products consist of college level courses, dual-credit courses for secondary schools, and educational materials for agricultural stakeholders with a focus on climate change. The project’s goal is to assist today’s students as they become part of the future agricultural workforce and to develop the knowledge, skills, and adaptive strategies required to meet the challenges associated with a changing climate.
Locus of Control and Pedagogy in Skill-Based Agricultural Mechanics
Authors: McKibben Jason , Holler Kelly , Clemons Christopher , Lindner James
Published: October 2023

Teachers of agriculture have use project-based learning as a primary teaching method in agricultural mechanics since the 19th century. These methods teach the information and motivate students to engage the content. Locus of Control (LOC) categorizes the relationship with decision-making and motivation. Internal LOC have a higher level of internal motivation and desire a central role in decision-making processes. External LOC typically do not seek out opportunities for decision making. A student with an internal LOC acts on the world and a student with an external LOC believes the world acts on them. This research was to determine if students’ LOC differentiated between hands-on compared to lecture-based teaching. Students in an agricultural mechanics course at [University] (N = 38) were neither internal nor external (f =16) LOC, those with a tendency towards one or the other were more internal (f = 15) and (f = 7) were external LOC. Most students felt slightly positive toward project-based learning (M = 3.61, SD = 0.70) and slightly negative toward lecture-based learning (M = 2.78, SD = 0.85). Either LOC plays no role in students’ feelings toward project-based methods or there are so few internal students that no correlation could be detected

Affective pedagogy in pre-service teacher education: a twofold approach combining explicit and vicarious learning
Authors:   Department of Educational Sciences, University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain, Falcón-Linares Carolina
Published: October 2023

What happens when affection and the awareness of affectivity, in the sense of ‘love’ or ‘tenderness’, become the objects of training and evaluation in pre-service teacher education? Our theoretical framework describes the link between positive emotional arousal and learning, the role played by the emotional dimension in the construction of a professional teaching identity, and the relevance of a teacher’s historical-emotional background for the cognitive construction of heuristics. We developed a teaching program designed to energize the experience of pre-service teachers in the university classroom. Through positive emotional arousal, we aimed to provoke a series of creative reflection processes regarding the teaching profession. Our research goal was to describe and interpret the program’s potential effects on the learning process and the construction of these pre-service teachers’ professional identity. The method applied in this paper was action-research carried out during three academic years of fieldwork with a total of 365 students. We coded the students’ narratives regarding their learning process and teaching identity into several conceptual nodes representing their insights and feelings concerning those topics. Our results and discussion highlight the importance of affective teacher education as a means of enhancing pre-service teachers’ learning, contributing toward the growth of their professional identity, and cultivating a culture of care and love in the classroom.

PT. Rasa Prima Sejati Wall's is a company engaged in the field of ice cream food and Cimory drinks. This company has various types of ice products and Cimory drinks to offer. Every year the company can create new products, especially in various flavors, not only that, the company guarantees the quality of the products it produces. The problem faced by the company is that the sale of available goods does not match consumer demand. The company also has not used predictors or plans for the sale of goods so that there is a buildup of goods which results in losses in the company. In this case the research will make predictions by looking at past sales data. The data taken is only sales data for Cimory products for the last three years from 2019-2021. Research using the Liner Regression method is one of the methods in the function of predicting sales. Linear regression is a statistical method used to construct a model or relationship between one or more independent variables X and response variable Y. The software used to support data processing is Rapidminer. The purpose of this study is to use data mining to identify the most popular, least popular, and desirable products or items at Pt. Rasa Prima so that companies can use this information as a guideline for managing their inventory and attending to customer disappointment properly available using a simple linear regression method, the prediction results for 2022 and RapidMinier are 770000. This prediction can help companies make decisions and reduce inventory shortages.

Published: October 2023

One of the learning models that are often used and developed is PjBL (Project Based Learning). PjBL is a teaching approach built on learning activities and real tasks that provide challenges for learners related to everyday life to solve in groups (Goodman and Stivers 2010). Bridge Simulator is one of the supporting suggestions in implementing PjBL in vocational learning, which has become a national and international standard regulated by the Ministry of Transportation and IMO (International Maritime Organization), where users/students can apply the PjBL method with the BRM (Bridge Resource Management) concept. The focus of this study is how the adaptation of learning models with simulators by school residents including students, measurements using the D&M model and TTF model, that the adaptation of simulator learning shows positive results.

Boosting innovation in European bioeconomy

New projects to drive innovation within the European bioeconomy being funded by the CBE JU are outlined here. The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), a €2 billion public-private partnership advancing competitive circular bio-based industries in Europe, has signed its first 21 grant agreements this year. Two hundred ninety-three beneficiaries from 27 countries will receive €116 million in funding to develop new bio-based products and materials, first-of-their-kind production facilities, and innovative processes. The new projects will boost the competitiveness and increase the resilience of Europe’s bio-based economy by using often-underutilised resources to produce consumer products and industrial solutions to replace fossil-based ones. This will reduce the EU’s reliance on strategic imports and create new value chains, business opportunities, and green jobs, particularly in rural areas.

What is at stake in the psychedelic renaissance?

Professor Erika Dyck, Canada Research Chair in the History of Health & Social Justice, discusses the extensive history and growing medical application of psychedelics known as the psychedelic renaissance. British psychiatrist Ben Sessa re-introduced the concept of the psychedelic renaissance in 2011, suggesting that it was perhaps time to rethink the role of psychedelic drugs in medicine. The idea has gained momentum, especially in places like the United States and Europe, where psychedelics had been part of psychiatric reforms in the middle of the twentieth century. However, the focus on the global north and western biomedicine does not capture the diversity of psychedelic history that has led to this moment.

Workers at risk: Families serving alongside

Heidi Cramm, Marilyn Cox, and Deborah Norris focus on the families of public safety personnel and health care workers (PSP and HCW), plus how the risks and requirements of the job impact them. Public safety personnel (PSP) and health care workers (HCW) are dedicated to serving our communities, and that commitment can take a toll on the mental and physical well-being of both the workers and their families. Cramm, Cox, and Norris work with the Families Matter Research Group (FMRG), a large team of researchers, educators, and trainees, some of whom are PSP and HCW family members themselves. The FMRG recognizes the commitments and demands associated with public safety and healthcare work and the effects these have on family life and relationships beyond the workplace. Their primary objective is to form partnerships with families, workplaces, and other service providers to understand better the experience and needs of PSP and HCW families and promote evidence-informed programs and policies to support their health and well-being.
A case for higher spending on public goods

A case for higher spending on public goods

Yew-Kwang Ng, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Economics at Monash University in Australia, argues in favor of increased spending on public goods. An important issue in public policy is how much we should spend on public goods. A pure public good has the characteristic that its usage by some does not reduce its availability to others. Examples include defense, broadcasting, publication, and research. Private goods (subsuming services) like apples or haircuts are typically paid for by consumers. In a market economy, their provision and prices are thus typically determined by the balance of supply and demand. The demand is in accordance with the willingness to pay by the consumers; this, in turn, depends on their marginal valuation (the additional value provided by consuming another unit). On the other hand, the supply depends on the marginal costs of production (the additional costs of producing another unit).

Youth as essential problem-solvers of our futures

Nancy Butler Songer, Associate Provost of STEM Education at the University of Utah, discusses the importance of supporting and including young people as part of environmental decision-making teams and key problem-solvers of our futures. The New York Times calls the environmental threat of the Great Salt Lake in the United States an “Environmental Nuclear Bomb.” Even as water levels continue to decline (e.g., the 2022 average lake level was the lowest on record; Great Salt Lake Strike Team, 2023), regional population and water consumption continue to grow. The result is not only a dying off of the lake’s brine shrimp that support a stable ecosystem but the development of poisonous dust plumes that threaten human health.

Patients with diabetes in rural underserved areas

Richard J. Santen, MD, Emeritus Professor of Medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, delineates the characteristics of patients with diabetes residing in rural underserved areas, including the role of meal replacements for weight loss. Patients with diabetes residing in rural, economically challenged and medically underserved areas generally lack endocrinologists for consultative evaluation and management. (1,2) One solution to the problem is recruiting retired endocrinologists to care for these patients by telemedicine. This can be facilitated by partnering with rural, community health clinics. In the United States, a Federal program funds 1,400 rural clinics and supports the providers and clinical educators to instruct patients regarding diabetes mellitus management, nutrition, laboratory testing, and radiology. My experience over the last six years, as a partially retired endocrinologist, indicates that such a program is beneficial and results in lowering the hemoglobin A1c levels in patients with diabetes (3).

Enhancing irrigation effectiveness in vineyards with innovative technologies

Professor Pete W. Jacoby, from Washington State University, walks us through enhancing irrigation effectiveness in vineyards with innovative technologies like automated irrigation. As growers worldwide struggle to sustain vineyard production during hot summer temperatures and limited water resources, emerging technologies in the form of electronic soil moisture sensors coupled with automated irrigation may provide some opportunities for consideration. Using soil moisture sensors can aid in irrigation scheduling to sustain crops such as wine grapes to avoid heat damage to vines and impacts on fruit yield ahead of visual effects on the vine.

Microbiome of the skin: The good and the bad

Chronic wounds are a significant burden to patients and health systems; Manuela Martins-Green from the University of California tells us how her research in understanding the dynamics of wound healing could aid new approaches to wound care. The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is the barrier that protects the organs from the environment, functioning as an interface between the environment and the inside of the body. Residing on the skin is a complex and diverse community of microbes called the microbiome. Trillions of microbes across bacterial and fungal families use a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic metabolic pathways to survive. Considerable effort is being put into studying the role of the microbiome in skin infections, disorders, and disease. Host- microbiome interactions are particularly important during wound healing because changes in microenvironmental conditions in the tissue can change commensal bacteria into pathogens that infect the wound chronically, including forming biofilm.
Psychotic-like experiences: What are they and why are they important?

Psychotic-like experiences: What are they and why are they important?

Dr Lorna Staines and Professor Mary Cannon of RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, explore psychotic-like experiences, explaining what they are and why they are important. It is widely thought that hallucinations and delusions occur only in the context of a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia. Although this viewpoint is common, it is not accurate. Many people will have a hallucination or delusion throughout their lifetime even though they do not have a psychotic disorder. In most cases, they will happen for only a brief period before fading and only occur once. Examples of such experiences might be hearing your name being called when alone in a house (auditory hallucination) or having an intensely strong feeling that someone on the street or in your neighbourhood may be trying to harm you, despite not having a reason to believe this (paranoid delusion). These are called “psychotic-like experiences” or “PLE”.
