Authors: Sedihati Bu’ulolo  , Riste Tioma
Published: October 2023

In the context of the modern church, the leadership role of Christian women has become an increasingly important and complex issue. Despite increasing awareness of the importance of gender equality, there are still challenges and obstacles that hinder the advancement of Christian women in ecclesiastical leadership roles. This article aims to explore the influences and challenges faced by Christian women in ecclesiastical leadership and find solutions to promote their role in the modern church. Therefore, in this study the authors used a qualitative approach by applying a literature review and reflective analysis. A literature review was conducted to gather relevant literature on Christian women's leadership in the modern church, including scholarly articles, books, ecclesiastical journals, and theological sources. Reflective analysis was then carried out to deeply understand the influence that Christian women have on ecclesiastical leadership as well as to identify the challenges they face in the context of the modern church. Based on the literature review and reflective analysis conducted, this article reveals that Christian women have a significant influence in ecclesiastical leadership, including in ecclesiastical decision-making, public service, teaching, and spiritual guidance. However, they also face challenges such as restricted traditional roles, different interpretations of the Bible, gender stereotypes, lack of necessary support and training, and cultural conservatism. Therefore, this article concludes the need to recognize and promote the role of Christian women in ecclesiastical leadership by creating an inclusive environment, providing adequate training, overcoming cultural barriers, and promoting gender equality in the modern church.

Published: October 2023

A ausência dos batimentos cardíacos e a interrupção das atividades respiratórias é denominada Parada Cardiorrespiratória (PCR), que pode ocorrer por inúmeras causas. Entre elas estão infarto agudo do miocárdio, doenças cardiovasculares, acidente automobilístico, obstrução respiratória e hemorragias. Cerca de 18,6 milhões de pessoas morrem a cada ano em virtude de doenças cardiovasculares no mundo. Segundo dados da American Heart Association, 40% dos indivíduos que sofrem uma parada cardiorrespiratória em ambientes extra-hospitalares recebem a manobra de ressuscitação cardiopulmonar iniciada por leigos. O objetivo deste estudo é elaborar uma cartilha educativa direcionada ao público leigo. Trata-se de um estudo metodológico com revisão de literatura que tem como propósito agrupar dados para construir uma tecnologia educativa sobre parada cardiorrespiratória voltada para a população no formato de cartilha educativa. O coração é responsável por bombear sangue oxigenado para todo o corpo. Com a PCR, não há fluxo de sangue adequado, logo, os órgãos vitais sofrem consequências irreversíveis após 5 minutos de parada. Portanto, quanto mais precoce for o reconhecimento e atendimento à vítima, maior será sua chance de sobrevivência. Orientar as pessoas quanto a aspectos relacionados à saúde auxilia o desenvolvimento de tomada de escolhas, trazendo consigo novos modelos de ensino e ajudando a população a construir conhecimento. Desse modo, a cartilha educativa será um suporte de ensino de qualidade em que a população terá acesso facilitado a como proceder diante de uma PCR, tendo como resultado a segurança para realizar as manobras de ressuscitação de forma eficiente, reduzindo a mortalidade. A cartilha, além de conter o passo a passo de como realizar o procedimento de RCP, conta também com imagens educativas, facilitando a população compreendê-la.
Evaluation of the effects of different bracket types on the detection of interproximal enamel caries using periapical radiography
Authors: Karabiber Gülden , Arsan Belde , Koacer Ahmet Fatih
Published: October 2023

Aim: During orthodontic treatment, dental materials can affect the imaging of caries lesions. Material density and X-ray beam attenuation play important roles in this imaging. This study aims to evaluate the artifacts that are caused by brackets made of different materials and affect the visibility of International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) code 5 caries.
Methodology: One premolar tooth with ICDAS code 5 caries was examined. Eight periapical radiographs were taken: one without a bracket and seven with different types of brackets (composite with metal slot, self-ligating ceramic, monocrystalline ceramic, polycrystalline ceramic, zirconium, self-ligating stainless steel, and conventional stainless steel). The gray values of the caries region were evaluated using Fiji software (version 1.53f, National Institutes of Health, USA) on periapical radiographs.
Results: Conventional stainless steel and self-ligating stainless steel brackets increased the radiopacity of the outer half of the enamel (E1). When these brackets were present, the gray values changed by -13.63633 (p = .026) and -16.38967 (p = .006), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in column B due to the brackets. However, numerically, the gray value changes were similar to those in column A.
Conclusion: Orthodontic brackets affect the evaluation of periapical images. Ceramic brackets provide more advantages than stainless steel brackets for radiographic imaging.

The ecology and distribution of most baleen whales are poorly known in Brazilian waters, despite the history of whaling and the recent increase in the research effort. Although stranding data presents some caveats, it is useful to understand patterns of distribution and occurrence and to detect population trends. In this scenario, data from 25 years of a monitoring marine mammal stranding program were used to evaluate the composition and spatial-temporal patterns of Balaenoptera whales in southern Brazil. A stretch of 270 km on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul State (from 29°20’S to 31°21’S) was surveyed year-round between 1993 and 2018. Whales were identified, measured and sex determined whenever possible. Molecular identification through mtDNA analysis was obtained for 22 individuals and confirmed field identification in 17 cases. Forty-eight whales of four species were recorded: common minke whale B. acutorostrata n = 27, Antarctic minke whale B. bonaerensis n = 1, Bryde’s whale B. brydei n = 13, fin whale B. physalus n = 1. In addition, six whales were not identified at species level due to advanced decomposition. The larger number of strandings of common minke and Bryde’s whales may be related to their greater abundance and/or more coastal distribution. Both species were recorded year-round, but strandings of common minke and Bryde’s whales occurred mostly during winter/spring (77.77%) and spring/summer (66.66%), respectively. Although Bryde’s whales appear to remain in southern Brazilian waters during the entire year, the results suggest the existence of seasonal inshore-offshore movements. Moreover, the greater number of strandings of juveniles of common minke whales compared to adults (ratio 1.86:1) and their occurrence in different seasons suggest that some immature individuals may not leave this region, as previously pointed out by other studies. This long-term survey brings new evidence of the importance of this region in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean for some Balaenoptera species.

Authors: Ibam Emmanuel Onwuka , Adewale Olumide Sunday , Agbonifo Oluwatoyin Catherine , Akindeji Ibrahim Makinde
Published: October 2023

Majority of the online learning systems in use today, lack proper integration of adaptive, collaborative, personalized and ubiquitous concepts in their design and implementation. Integration of these basic concepts in online learning systems will enable adaptation, individualization, and collaboration of learning resources to learners’ preferences, with an added advantage of accessibility to online resources anywhere and anytime. Hence, the research proposes an Adaptive E-Learning System (AES) model that incorporates activities sequencing in a personalised, adaptive, collaborative and ubiquitous learning environment. The system model consists of the system (software) architectural diagram and mathematical model of activity sequence. The design is presented using the UML activity diagram and the class diagram. The full implementation of the system is currently being carried out and is being tested with real life cases.

Published: October 2023

Artificial learning techniques are currently used for weather and climate forecasting, etc. In this paper, we will evaluate three algorithms for predicting meteorological parameters based on the humidity parameter. Our dataset was taken from Mbujimayi airport in the DRC. So, having the real-world data at our disposal, we used these Machine Learning tools to interpret and understand what happened by training the three models separately, and draw the conclusion as to which was the best model. Then, we used the three models to make some predictions about what our environment will be like tomorrow, and to draw conclusions and make decisions about whether or not our climate is already facing climate change. Three models are used: Decision tree, k-nearest neighbor and neural network, the analysis reveals that of the three models tested, the decision tree scored 81.8% after training with an average prediction of 71.5%, in second place we have the K-nearest neighbor with a score of 70% after training with an average prediction of 70, 8% and the cloture neural network with 64% training and an average prediction of 66.1%. Thus, the decision tree outperforms the other models in terms of training and prediction of meteorological parameters, and is the best model with a very high performance compared to the other models.

Published: October 2023

Perceived service quality is the foundation for comprehending transportation needs, as it influences consumers' selection of the numerous types of services that are continuously evolving. A company's success is determined by its ability to please its clients. This study's objective is to examine the influence of Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM) and Perceived Service Quality from Low-Cost Carrier on Brand Image, Customer Satisfaction, and Loyalty. Explanatory research employing a quantitative methodology will be used by the author for this study. This study used a non-probability sampling strategy with a purposive sampling method, meaning the selection of samples is not random but rather based on specified criteria, notably prior experience with LCC (Low-Cost Carrier) or low-cost airlines. Using an adapted SERVQUAL scale, 249 participants who were domestic travelers from Indonesia were contacted.  SmartPLS 3 utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the research data. Perceived service quality was a significant predictor of customer satisfaction (β = 0.877, p = 0.000), corporate image (β = 0.607, p = 0.000), and customer loyalty (β = 0.456, p = 0.000), as indicated by the results. EWOM will increase consumer loyalty to low-cost carriers (β = 0.182, p = 0.028). On the basis of these results, LCCs should develop future strategic plans that significantly emphasize the enhancement of service quality metrics

Lecanemab and other treatments: Glimmers of hope for alzheimer’s patients

Effective treatments for amyloid-associated neurological diseases are desperately needed; H. Robert Guy, CEO of Amyloid Research Consultants, talks us through the obstacles and opportunities associated with structure-based drug design. The FDA recently approved an antibody drug, Lecanemab, aka Leqembi, that slows neuronal degeneration caused by Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Granted, Lecanemab is no miracle drug: it is not a cure, it can have deleterious side effects, and it is expensive. Nonetheless, it is the first antibody treatment for AD to be efficacious. Lecanemab antibodies were developed to target amyloid beta (Aβ), long suspected of being a major cause of AD and a prime constituent of amyloid plaques. This development was a surprise since previous attempts to use antibodies to Aβ fibrils have failed. Numerous researchers have long argued that Aβ fibrils are not the primary culprit; smaller Aβ assemblies called oligomers are more toxic, appear earlier, and can interact with membranes to increase their permeability to calcium ions. When an electric impulse called an action potential reaches a presynaptic terminal, it triggers the entry of calcium ions that stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. Interference by Aβ with this process can have devastating consequences.

Crafting investment models through contradictory value and momentum investment strategies by artificial intelligence

Professor Chien-Feng Huang discusses how Artificial Intelligence could provide innovative models and strategies to solve investment problems. Over the past decade, Professor Chien-Feng Huang has been working on several investment problems using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Big Data technology, data mining and machine learning play crucial roles in his research, where he hopes to discover niches and innovative solutions to bring about blue ocean strategies for investment. One major line of research Professor Huang has been pursuing is to combine seemingly contradictory strategies to generate emerging solutions for investment. For example, the momentum investing strategy might advise buying a stock, yet the value investment strategy advises against it. So, which one is right?

The role of prescribing practices in managing chronic pain with opioids

Norm Buckley and Jason Busse from the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Pain Research and Care discuss prescribing practices, managing chronic pain with opioids, and the contribution of licit and illicit opioids towards the Canadian opioid crisis. Over the past 40 years, chronic pain treatment has ranged from pharmacotherapy, regional anesthesia techniques, graduated exercise, physiotherapy modalities, lifestyle modification, psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy), and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, and Tai Chi. Pharmacotherapy included the use of anticonvulsant drugs such as carbamazepine with their risks of liver dysfunction, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories with the risk of bleeding and renal injury, anti-depressants with serotonin, cholinergic and adrenergic actions, and complications including sedation and cardiac arrhythmia, and opioids.
Wastewater surveillance for infectious disease preparedness

Wastewater surveillance for infectious disease preparedness

The University of Oklahoma Wastewater Based Epidemiology (OU WBE) team highlights successes from their three years of wastewater surveillance in Oklahoma & how this surveillance approach can be used as next-level monitoring for infectious disease preparedness. The OU WBE team, founded by Bradley Stevenson, Jason Vogel, and Katrin Gaardbo Kuhn in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Summer 2020, has expanded to one of the most extensive wastewater monitoring networks in the world with a team that has included over 50 faculty, students and staff. In a paper published in 1942, Drs. James Trask and John Paul described a study to detect poliovirus in wastewater samples collected in New York and New Haven. They concluded, “It is likely that the periodic sampling of sewage for pathogenic viruses or bacteria may be a method of epidemiological value”. (1) Since then, wastewater surveillance has been used to detect sporadic outbreaks or clusters of various infectious pathogens, reaching new levels of routine utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic.(2)

Overcoming obstacles in rare disease clinical trials

With an urgent need to develop new treatments for people with rare diseases, the University of Birmingham’s Professor Timothy Barrett explains how a new consortium will provide a step change in the delivery of rare disease clinical trials. Amina was diagnosed with diabetes when she was four years old. Her parents were told she had type 1 diabetes, the commonest form in childhood, and learnt to inject her with insulin several times a day. They had many sleepless nights checking her blood glucose in case it went too low. Unfortunately, aged ten years, she began to lose her vision, and family photos showed her on holiday at the seaside using a white stick. She was diagnosed with Wolfram syndrome, a rare genetic disease. This is a progressive degenerative disorder without treatment, and people die prematurely from complications.

The secrets of hydropower and PTX in Greenland

Greenland is a prime location for large-scale hydropower projects. Renewable energy investment possibilities are, therefore, abundant, writes Claus Andersen-Aagaard, Chief Executive Officer of GreenLead. One of the lesser-known facts about the Arctic is its potential to solve a part of the climate crisis. Melting glaciers, high up in mountain ranges, create the perfect conditions for large-scale hydropower. With a government actively looking for investors, it is a wonder that over 60 well-documented renewable energy opportunities continue to be known by so few. Greenland is home to some of the planet’s most extensive and untouched natural landscapes. Its abundant water resources, including vast glaciers and numerous rivers, make it an ideal location for large-scale hydroelectric power projects.

Innovative gene therapy approaches for brain tumour-related epilepsy

Professor Mark Cunningham and Dr Kate Connor from Trinity College Dublin discuss the burden of brain tumour-related epilepsy and why novel therapies are urgently needed to improve the quality of life for those affected. Brain tumour-related epilepsy (BTRE) is a unique and devastating condition which embraces two serious pathologies. BTRE incidence is inversely correlated to malignancy, with seizures as the first presenting symptom in 65-85% of patients with low-grade gliomas (LGG) and 30-60% with glioblastoma (GBM). (1) Seizures often manifest as complications throughout brain tumour evolution. Clinical management via radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can reduce seizure frequency, but many patients continue to experience seizures following therapeutic intervention. (2) Overall, BTRE is a debilitating and difficult-to-control condition, with seizures closely linked to tumour recurrence and progression.

Healthy aging and physical activity practice: The missing link

Isabelle J. Dionne, PhD, Professor, Université de Sherbrooke, walks us through physical activity practice and how it impacts research on healthy aging. Major public health agencies around the world urge the older population to get on the move while cities and states invest more and more in safe and attractive infrastructures and programs. Nonetheless, physical activity (PA) levels of aging adults remain low in most developed societies. It appears that the healthcare systems and the general public do not take advantage of the skills and competencies of qualified PA professionals trained in universities around the globe to support evidence- based physical activity practice and healthy aging. This weakest link needs reinforcement.
