Social Work and Human Rights: Uncrossed Paths Between Exposure, Engagement, Lens, and Methods in Professional Practice
Authors: Carvalho Maria Irene , Albuquerque Cristina , Borrego Pedro
Published: January 2025

This article intends to demonstrate the interconnections between exposure, engagement, human rights (HRs) lens, and methods in social work. To achieve these aims, we used HRXSW, HRESW, HRLSW, and HRMSW index scales to carry out a survey amongst Portuguese social workers. This survey was sent to 4079 registered members (100%) of the Portuguese professional association, of which 259 were valid responses (6.3%). The results of this pilot study show that professionals are exposed to HR in the education system and in the professional practice and that the level of engagement with HR is strong. Professionals revealed that social problems and rights violations played a prominent role during their practices with clients; however, contradictions are noticed in relation with intervention methods. Their methods are mostly informed by individual rights and personal empowerment, collaboration, and accountability and, to a lesser extent, by non-discrimination, micro and meso approach, and activism. We conclude that professionals have the knowledge and courage to consolidate and promote HR; however, in order to advocate for and promote structural social changes that lead to the full realization of an HR utopia, they need to use methods based on structural and collective approaches.
The Relationship Between Acculturation and Second Language Learning in the Context of Sustainable Multiculturalism: A Case Study of Russian Immigrants and Syrian Refugees in Türkiye
Authors: Bayram Bora , Eryılmaz Ramazan
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to identify the acculturation strategies of Russian immigrants and Syrian refugees living in Türkiye and examine their impact on second-language learning. The idea of acculturation explains how immigrants adapt to the culture of the host country. In this research, the acculturation strategies of immigrants and refugees, their second-language learning, and other variables that could influence their integration were measured. Interviews were conducted with immigrants and refugees within the scope of the study. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed in accordance with the mixed research method. According to the findings, immigrants and refugees generally prefer the integration strategy. Females tend to favour the integration strategy more strongly compared to males. Among those residing in Türkiye, individuals with 0–1 year of residence exhibited significantly higher motivation for second-language learning. However, no significant relationship was observed among the other groups (2–5 years, 6–10 years, and 11+ years). Refugee or immigrant status, sex, and length of residence played important roles in second-language learning. Those who preferred the integration strategy, as well as refugees and females, tended to have higher second-language learning motivation. The research indicates that refugees require more support for cultural adaptation and second-language acquisition. Effective integration policies for refugees in Türkiye and the implementation of economic and social programmes through international cooperation are essential. Otherwise, neglecting cultural and social integration may threaten sustainable multiculturalism.

Authors: Toth Gergo , Szabo Sandor , Haidegger Tamas , Alexy Marta
Published: January 2025

As large-scale poultry farming becomes more intensive and concentrated, a deeper understanding of poultry meat production processes is crucial for achieving maximum economic and ecological efficiency. The transmission and analysis of data collected on birds and the farming environment in large-scale production environments using digital tools on a secure platform are not straightforward. In our on-site research, we have investigated two architectures, a cloud-based processing architecture and an edge computing-based one, in large-scale poultry farming circumstances. These results underscore the effectiveness of combining edge and cloud-based solutions to overcome the distinct challenges of precision poultry farming settings. Our system’s dynamic capability, supported by AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure and on-site edge computing solutions, ensured comprehensive monitoring and management of agricultural data, leading to more informed decision-making and improved operational efficiencies. A hybrid approach often represents the most viable strategy when examining contrasting strengths and weaknesses. Combining edge and cloud solutions allows for the robustness and immediate response of edge computing while still leveraging cloud systems’ advanced analytical capabilities and scalability.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the hazards of zearalenone (ZEN) to humans and assess the risk of dietary exposure to ZEN, particularly in relation to precocious puberty in children from the Zhejiang Province. The test results from five types of food from the Zhejiang Province show that corn oil has the highest detection rate of 87.82%. The levels of ZEN do not exceed the existing safety standards in any sample investigated in this study. According to the data from the Food Consumption Survey of Zhejiang Province residents, rice is the primary source of ZEN exposure, accounting for 55.85% of total exposure among all age groups. Based on the 50th exposure percentile, it would take 6.25 years of rice consumption to reach 1 year of safe ZEN exposure. Overall, the majority of the residents in the Zhejiang Province have a low risk of exposure to ZEN. In an extreme case (based on the 95th exposure percentile), the total ZEN exposure from the studied foods with respect to children aged ≤6 years and 7–12 years is 0.38 μg/kg b.w. and 0.26 μg/kg b.w., respectively—both exceeding the safety limit of 0.25 μg/kg b.w. set by the European Food Safety Authority, indicating a potential risk of exposure. Precocious puberty assessments show that ZEN exposure levels in children in the Zhejiang Province are significantly lower than those associated with precocious puberty; thus, precocious puberty is unlikely to occur in this area. Given ZEN’s estrogenic effect, it is necessary to monitor the level of ZEN in different food items, revise the relevant standards as needed, and focus on exposure to ZEN in younger age groups.
The Effect of Outflow Launching Radial Efficiency of Accretion Disk on the Shape of Emission-Line Profiles
Authors: Naddaf Mohammad Hassan
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the influence of radial behavior of disk outflow on the structure and dynamics of the broad line region (BLR) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), with an emphasis on how the mass ejection rate contributes to shaping the broad emission-line profiles. Specifically, we analyze how varying the radial efficiency of mass loss from accretion disks, driven by radiative dust-based mechanisms, contributes to the distribution of material in the BLR. By exploring different radial scenarios of disk mass loss behavior, we uncover connections between outflow radial efficiency and emission line profiles, particularly for lowly ionized lines. Our findings reveal that while the observed shape of broad emission lines is partially influenced by the radial behavior of the disk outflow, it ultimately depends more critically on the physical conditions of the clouds and the specific approach adopted regarding the emissivity for their contribution to the line formation.

Published: January 2025

Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is a viral pathogen that causes acute, high-mortality hepatitis in ducklings, and vaccination with attenuated live vaccines is currently the main preventive measure against it. However, differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) is crucial for clinical diagnosis and effective disease control. This study aimed to develop a rapid mismatch amplification mutation assay PCR (MAMA-PCR) diagnostic method to simultaneously detect and differentiate between wild-type and vaccine strains. The method was specifically designed to target the critical single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site (T→C at position 1143 in the VP0 gene) unique to the Korean vaccine strain AP04203-P100. MAMA-PCR demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, with detection limits as low as 102.4 ELD50/mL for wild strains and 100.5 ELD50/mL for vaccine strains, and showed no cross-reactivity with 11 other common duck pathogens. The clinical sample results were completely consistent with those obtained using nested PCR detection and gold-standard sequencing. In summary, we successfully developed a rapid, one-step MAMA-PCR method that is more suitable for clinical diagnosis than traditional sequencing methods.

The use of escape protein, which is absorbed in the small intestine, can improve the production of ruminant animals because it meets their protein requirements better. This study hypothesized that wax lipid matrices are effective encapsulants for escape lysine in ruminants and tested tannin extract as an adjuvant. Forty intact male Santa Ines × Dorper sheep (~4 months old, BW 23 ± 1.2 kg) were allocated, in a randomized block design, to four treatments: control group (no lysine addition), supplementation with free lysine, escape lysine, and escape lysine + tannin extract. The ether extract intake was higher in the sheep fed escape lysine + tannin compared to the control and free lysine group. The sheep fed escape lysine presented higher DM and aNDF eating efficiency (p ≤ 0.05) compared to the free lysine and control groups. Escape lysine with and without tannin presented greater TDN compared to free lysine and control. The NFCs were lower in the free lysine diet, and the crude protein digestibility was higher in the sheep fed lysine + tannin and the control group compared to the escape and free lysine groups. The lysine treatments did not affect (p > 0.05) the performance, ingestive behavior, and blood parameters. The rectal temperature was higher in the sheep fed lysine escape compared to those fed free lysine. The sheep fed escape lysine + tannin exhibited reduced (p ≤ 0.05) large particles and improved peNDF 12 h after feeding. The escape lysine diet, regardless of the addition of tannin, improved the total digestible nutrients and eating efficiency, without affecting the performance, feed conversion, and blood variables of the sheep.

Authors: Yuchi Xiaoqian , Gu Helong , Du Xuanhong , Shu Pan
Published: January 2025

Performing stability studies of waterproof coal pillars is one of the key measures for preventing mine water disasters. As some areas of the coal pillar were affected by goaf water in the Nanhu Second Mine, the coal pillar and surrounding roadway were somewhat deformed. To investigate whether the pillar can ensure safe production in the mine, the source of goaf water and the direction of water infiltration were analyzed using exploration holes, and it was concluded that the goaf water originated from the V3 aquifer and was static. Thus, a theoretical analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between the mechanical parameters of the coal and rock structures affected by water. On this basis, a numerical simulation was employed to examine the key changes in the coal pillar and roadway affected by goaf water. The simulation results showed that the plastic area was 6–11 m and the elastic area in the middle was 6–8 m after excavating the working faces on both sides of the coal pillar, and the water flow vector of the aquifer could not pass through the pillar. Finally, in situ monitoring using ground-penetrating radar, deformation measurement, and loosening circle detection revealed that the development degree of internal cracks in the coal pillar was relatively light; thus, the pillar could effectively prevent water damage. These monitoring and analysis methods comprehensively evaluate the stability of the coal pillar and provide a guarantee for the safe mining of the working face.

Published: January 2025

Northwest China has been facing a contrast between water resource shortage and rapid economic and social development for a long time, and the enhancement of water resource carrying capacity (WRCC) is of strategic significance in solving this contradiction. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation system of water resource carrying capacity is constructed to define the characteristics of Northwest China, which innovatively integrates the four major systems of water resources, economy, society, and the ecological environment. The improved TOPSIS model is applied to systematically evaluate the dynamic evolution of WRCC in the five provinces (autonomous regions) of the Northwest region from 2000 to 2022. The obstacle degree diagnosis model is used to deeply analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the main constraining factors. The study finds the following: (1) the Northwest WRCC grows slowly amidst fluctuations, with insignificant inter-regional differences, but at a much slower rate than GDP growth in the same period; (2) WRCC in the Northwest region exhibits significant regional differentiation, with Ningxia and Xinjiang maintaining steady upward trends, while Shanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai show a fluctuating upward trend; (3) the constraining factors for WRCC improvement exhibit obvious regional characteristics and time-stage characteristics, with a spatial mismatch of water resource supply and demand, and with low population and economic agglomeration being the core bottlenecks constraining WRCC improvement in the Northwest region. Based on empirical analysis, this study provides customized WRCC improvement strategies for each province (autonomous region), providing scientific decision-making support for the sustainable use of water resources in the Northwest region.

Published: January 2025

Monitoring lake area changes with a higher spatial and temporal resolution can facilitate a more detailed analysis of climate-related changes in the Tibetan Plateau. In the Landsat era, optical remote sensing observation with water body index-based methods mainly contributed to alpine lake investigation. However, monitoring the seasonal or monthly change of a lake area is challenging since optical data are easily contaminated by the high cloud cover in the Tibetan Plateau. To cope with this, we generated new time series datasets including Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) observations. Meanwhile, we presented an improved deep learning model with spatial and channel attention mechanisms. Based on these datasets, we compared several deep learning models and found that the CloudNet+ had better performance. Taking this architecture as a baseline, we added spatial and channel attention mechanisms to generate our AttCloudNet+ for extracting the lake area. The results revealed that AttCloudNet+ had a better performance compared with the CloudNet+ and other CNNs (e.g., DeepLabv3+, UNet). For the accuracy of the lakeshore prediction, results from AttCloudNet+ demonstrated closer distance to the truth-value than other models. The obtained mean RMSE and MAE were 21.6 and 16.6 m, respectively. In contrast, the mean RMSE and MAE of the DeepLabv3+ were 99.5 and 76.0 m, while the corresponding RMSE and MAE for UNet were 91.1 and 64.9 m. In addition, we found our AttCloudNet+ was more robust than UNet and DeepLabv3+ because AttCloudNet+ is less influenced by the input optical images compared with DeepLabv3+ and UNet. By combining the results from different seasons and satellite sensors, we are capable of generating the complete lake area seasonal dynamics of the 15 largest lakes. The mean correlation coefficient (R2) between our seasonal lake area time series and the water level of LEGOS is 0.81, which is much better than the previous study (0.25). This indicates that our method can be used to monitor lake area seasonal variation, which is important for understanding regional climate change in the Tibetan Plateau and other similar areas.

Published: January 2025

Nitrates (V) in drinking water are harmful to human health and are a probable carcinogen. Nitrates (V) in drinking water are responsible for the formation of methaemoglobin, which causes hypoxia, cyanosis, collapse and even death. Newborn babies and infants up to six months of age are most at risk. For this reason, a European Union directive was introduced in 1991 to protect waters from pollution caused by nitrogenous fertilisers of agricultural origin, restricting their use. The aim of the study was to analyse the content of nitrogen compounds (ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrates (III and V)) in water samples from selected rural waterworks in Tłokinia Wielka. Analyses were performed using spectrophotometric methods. The results showed that excessive levels were present in the tap water from public water supplies, which are regularly monitored by the State Sanitary Inspectorate and water supply companies.

Authors: Ghaderi Dehkordi Negin , Khaledi Darvishan Abdulvahed , Zare Mohamad Reza , Porto Paolo
Published: January 2025

The study highlights the increasing significance of understanding sediment sources and their contributions within a watershed, particularly in relation to different land use types. As the demand for effective source apportionment grows, this research aims to quantify how various land uses—specifically rangeland, rainfed agriculture, irrigated agriculture, and orchards—contribute to sediment yield over time. To achieve this, the researchers employed geochemical tracers and 137Cs to assess sediment contributions in a small sub-basin located in western Iran. The methodology involved creating a working unit map by overlaying land use maps from 1967 and 2021 with a slope map of the region. A total of 75 and 31 soil samples were systematically collected across different land uses to ensure a representative analysis of 137Cs and geochemical methods, respectively. The study utilized specific models to calculate the average contributions of each land use type. For non-agricultural lands, a diffusion and migration model was applied, while agricultural lands were analyzed using a mass balance type II model. The FingerPro program in R software 4.2.2 facilitated the selection of suitable tracers and allowed for the determination of sediment source contributions through a multivariate mixed model algorithm. The findings revealed significant changes in sediment yield contributions over the past 60 years. In 2021, rainfed agriculture accounted for 72.26% of sediment yield, down from 85.49% six decades earlier. Conversely, irrigated agriculture showed an increase from 1.80% to 15.06%. Rangeland and orchard contributions remained relatively stable but low, at approximately 8% and 4%, respectively. The total erosion rate for the sub-basin was estimated at 526.87 t y−1, with rainfed agriculture being responsible for the majority at 450.43 t y−1.

Published: January 2025

This study puts forward a reliability analysis for the bearing performance of piles subjected to the coupled action of chloride corrosion and scouring. A chloride diffusion model was constructed based on the stiffness degradation factor and Fick’s law. The Monte Carlo simulation method, along with the consideration of the scouring effect of water flow on the pile foundation, was employed to assess the impact of key factors on the failure probability, considering both the bending moment and lateral displacement damage criteria. The results show that for the same exposure period, the failure probability increases as the bending moment, lateral and vertical loads, and seawater velocity increase; furthermore for the same conditions, the failure probability increases with longer exposure times. According to a particular case study, the mean bending moment, mean lateral and vertical loads, and seawater velocity all have an impact on the lateral displacement failure criterion, making it more sensitive than the bending moment failure criterion.
How Extreme Droughts Change the Impact of Eutrophic Reservoir on Its Outflow, with Special References to Planktonic Cyanobacteria and Their Secondary Metabolites?
Authors: Grabowska Magdalena , Mazur-Marzec Hanna , Więcko Adam
Published: January 2025

Increasingly frequent weather extremes induce changes in the quantity and quality of surface waters, complicating their use and resource management. These challenges are particularly relevant to dam reservoirs, designed to provide high-quality water for various recipients. The impact of extreme drought on lowland eutrophic reservoir–river systems remains poorly understood. Our research showed that the effects of extreme droughts, resulting in a decrease in the water level in a lowland reservoir and its outflow, are more severe than those of floods. During extreme droughts, reservoir pressure increases because the large load of cyanobacteria released from the reservoir, in conditions of low river discharge, is not diluted. unlike during floods. The increase in the total biomass of potamoplankton and, especially, cyanobacteria responsible for the production of toxic microcystins was positively correlated with reservoir outflow. Additionally, a shift in the dominant cyanobacteria species was observed, from Planktothrix agardhii to Microcystis spp., leading to changes in the oligopeptide profile, including microcystins.
Globalization and the Fallout of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ghazalian Pascal L.
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted globalization by disrupting the course of international economic integration, reducing interpersonal interaction and communication, and lessening the significance of global governance and political interactions. This unprecedented event has altered global supply chains, MNEs’ operations and FDI, and trade patterns, and it has favored protectionist and border policies. Meanwhile, travel restrictions and social-distancing measures reduced human mobility and hindered intercultural exchanges. This study explores the short-term and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic globalization while also reflecting on its implications for social and political globalization. The analysis underlines that the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged many governments to assess their strategies vis-à-vis globalization by seeking a certain equilibrium between global engagement, regional retreat, and national seclusion. Despite the adverse implications, some positive outcomes have emerged via the COVID-19-induced digital transformation and the reconfiguration of the global supply chains to improve resilience against future exogenous shocks. This pandemic exposed the shortcomings of the current global system and emphasized the necessity for a post-COVID-19 “re-designed” globalization to mitigate anti-globalization sentiments and expand benefits across countries/geo-economic regions and different segments of society.
Interrelationship between Molecular Subtypes of Metastatic Axillary Lymph Nodes and Radiomorphological Parameters in Breast Cancer Patients who did not have Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Authors:   Oncology Clinic of Azerbaijan Medical University, Baku, Azerbaijan, Akhundova J.N.
Published: January 2025

Background. In breast cancer (BC), ultrasonographic examination of axillary lymph nodes is a critical prognostic factor for distant metastases and for recurrence risks. Identification of BC molecular subtype using radiomorphological features of metastatic lymph nodes would lower the volume of surgical interventions and is very important for developing protocols for chemotherapy (CTx).
Purpose. To study the interrelation between ultrasound findings on axillary lymph nodes and molecular subtypes in primary breast cancer patients who did not have any neoadjuvant CTx.
Material and methods. 184 women with BC, aged 24–75 (53.9 ± 0.8), who were examined and treated at the Oncology Clinic of Azerbaijan Medical University in 2021–2022 were enrolled in the study. Of these, 110 (59.8%) were primary patients who did not have any chemotherapy, whereas the other 74 (40.2%) had more than four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Device LOGIQ C5-Premium (2012) was used to assess findings of ultrasound examination of axillary lymph nodes. Immunohistological tests of bioptat tissue were used to identify molecular subtypes of malignant tissues taken from the patients.
Results. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups of patients who had neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those who did not have it in terms of hormone receptors (ER – p = 504; PR – p = 895), HER2 (p = 0.592), and breast cancer subtypes (p = 0.411). However, proliferative activity index Ki-67 (Ki-67 < 14) of the primary tumor was statistically significantly lower than threshold limits (p = 0.042) in patients who received neoadjuvant CTx than in patients who did not have it (69.1% versus 82.4%). Statistical correlation between primary tumor proliferative activity (Ki-67 ≥ 14) and HER2+ expression was noted. In TNBC subtype, oval axillary lymph nodes with irregularly thickened cortex (< 3.0 mm) were seen, while in HER2+ subtype, lymph nodes had rounded form with impaired cortical structure.
Conclusion. The performed neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduces axillary lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients, particularly in those with HER2+ subtype. If hormonal receptors cannot be defined, molecular subtypes identified with axillary lymph nodes and tumor radiomorphologic features in breast cancer patients are of a large practical importance for management decision in patients with BC.

Published: January 2025

Bladder cancer is a serious condition that affects the urinary tract. Each year, more than 614,000 new cases are reported, and approximately 80% of these are non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). This type of cancer has a high rate of recurrence, reaching up to 60% within five years, and progression, reaching 55%. These factors lead to extensive surgery and disability for patients who have muscle invasion of the bladder. Additionally, bladder cancer can contribute to increased mortality through metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Modern approaches to predicting the progression of NMIBC rely on point systems based on clinical and histological characteristics of the tumor. In addition, researchers are actively exploring potentially valuable biomarkers that could provide a more personalized assessment of both the risk of recurrence and disease progression. This paper presents an overview of current research on predicting the course of NMIRMP using urinary biomarkers. Their prognostic significance and features of their use in clinical practice are discussed in detail, which determines the personalized management tactics of this category of patients.

Comparison of Data Collection Methods: Advantages and Disadvantages
Authors: Kholifah Eling Retno , Sofwan Muhammad
Published: January 2025

This article aims to analyze the differences in data collection techniques in the research as well as identify the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, including surveys, interviews, observations, document analysis, experiments, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The research method used is a literature study, which involves tracing and analyzing written sources to understand the application of each technique. The results show that surveys offer efficiency and a wide range, but often neglect the depth of information needed to understand social contexts. Interviews and FGDs provide deeper insights, although they take time and can be influenced by researcher biases. Observation methods provide a good contextual understanding, but are subjective, while document analysis can present relevant historical data but must be critically evaluated. Experiments allow for the identification of clear cause-and-effect relationships, but are often carried out under artificial conditions that do not reflect reality. Taking into account technological developments, such as online surveys and mobile apps, this article concludes that a deep understanding of data collection techniques can help researchers design more effective and ethical research, resulting in findings that benefit society.

Metaphysical Anthropology of Conversation with the Dead: Naruto's Conversation with Minato In Konoha's Pain Attack
Authors: Salewa Wandrio , Panuntun Daniel Fajar
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Fear and depression are ready to take control of a person's life if he hesitates to accept death. Similarly, Naruto experiences this in the Naruto shippuden series. When he was an infant, Naruto lost both of his parents. Surprisingly, Naruto met his father, Minato Namikaze, in Konoha while battling agony. The out-of-control Naruto almost took out the nine-tailed bijuu (kyubi), but his father prevented it, and Naruto regained the will and fortitude to battle Pain. Mark 5:35â€“42 and Daniel 12:1-3 will be used to support the method of metaphysical anthropology that will be employed. This paper examines the relationship between metaphysical anthropology in the Naruto shippuden and Mark 5:32â€“42 and Daniel 12:1â€“3 to construct a consolation concept to face grief. This study drew several conclusions, the first being that Christianity values life both before and after mortality, necessitating the development of contextual counseling techniques. Second, the conversation between Naruto and Minato during Pain's attack on Konoha has a noble value because it ultimately leads to Pain's revival and the restoration of Konoha. Thirdly, the Christian doctrine of the asleep soul in Mark 5:35â€“42 and Daniel 12:1-3, which rewards the soul after death, supports this research.Â Keywords: Death, Naruto, Metaphysical Anthropology, Soul
Johann Baptist Metz's Approach to the Church Secularity: A Theology of Connection
Authors: Firmanto Antonius Denny , Setiyaningtiyas Nerita , Wuriningsih Fransisca Romana
Published: January 2025

Abstract: This research examines the changing landscape of Christian life. Today, Christians are at a crossroads where one path offers comfort, a world sheltered from the tumultuous secular world's complexities. The other path invites Christians to engage in the secular world, transcend selfishness, and face its challenges in the public arena. This research aims to strengthen the Church's understanding of divine calling and purpose in secular society. This research uses a qualitative descriptive methodology investigation to explore the theological work of Johann Baptist Metz. This research starts from Metz's existential thought, which views the present as the Church's eschatological time. This study explores Metz's concept of Christian time, its profound implications for eschatological ideas, and reveals its relevance in the modern context. Thematic analysis, the foundation of qualitative research, distills and presents research findings. Research findings show that Metz views the importance of the human-God relationship as the basis for the existence of the Church. The Church is an interconnected entity. This relational dimension becomes the identity of the Church. Just as the Incarnation of Christ marked the entry of the Divine into human history to establish a deep relationship, the Church stands as the eternal embodiment of Christ's presence in the world. It serves as a channel for the ongoing encounter between God and humanity, placing itself at the intersection of the sacred and the secular. The Church's Christian eschatological experience finds expression in grassroots mission work, where compassion for the poor and marginalized is paramount. The Church's willingness to adapt and develop its theological perspective reflects its unwavering commitment to facing the challenges of the contemporary world, thereby becoming a beacon of empowerment and life transformation.

Authors: Gainau Markus Samson
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Violence in the Christian family is the most widespread type of gender-based violence that draws attention from the Church. Domestic violence is an act of hostility toward God. This study seeks to explore domestic violence in Papua from a Christian standpoint. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Researchers used in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies to collect data in this study. The research found two things: First, domestic violence is clear evidence of violating the sacred promise of marriage. Through the research results, it was found that in the indigenous Papuan community in Hinekombe village, there are traditions regarding male dominance over women and tolerance of the use of force by men. Secondly, God cares deeply about Christian marriage. God emphasizes that it is in the family that one can shape his or her personality and build a relationship with God. Marriage is "an honourable treasure ordained and blessed by God," a model of the relationship between Christ and the Church, and a union meant for "mutual harmony" where "men and women can please each other, not hurt.Â Keywords: Sacred Vows of Marriage, Tainted, Christian Domestic Violence, Hinekombe Village, Papua.
