Authors: Iyke-Ofoedu Maureen Ifeoma  , Okafor Adaora Rose  , Ogbuagu Godson Okoro
Published: July 2023

Despite the efforts of stakeholders to improve employee performance in the banking sector through educational programs and trainings, the quality of service delivery in the commercial banks is still suboptimal in Nigeria. The study therefore examined the effect of career development techniques on employee performance in deposit money banks in Nigeria. The research design employed in this study was the descriptive survey research design. The sample size of 231 respondents was drawn from population of the study which consists of 548 employees of Wema Bank Plc, Sterling Bank Plc, First Bank of Nigeria Plc and Access Bank Plc in Enugu State. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses stated were tested using single regression analysis. The empirical result shows that there is a positive and significant effect of induction training on employee quality of service delivery (t-statistics (58.161) > critical value (0.000). Again, the study revealed that there is a positive and significant effect of job rotation on employee punctuality (t-statistics (59.146) > critical value (0.000). The study also revealed that there is a positive and significant effect of formal education on employee transparency (t-statistics (53.984) > critical value (0.000). The study recommended that Management of deposit money banks in Nigeria should invest more in induction trainings as it provides opportunity to both old employees and new hires to learn the ropes of their new jobs and roles thereby enhancing the quality of service delivery.

Authors: Vitak Jessica , Kumar Priya , Liao Yuting , Zimmer Michael
Published: July 2023

An exemplar of human-machine communication, voice-based assistants (VBAs) embedded in smartphones and smart speakers simplify everyday tasks while collecting significant data about users and their environment. In recent years, devices using VBAs have continued to add new features and collect more data—in potentially invasive ways. Using Communication Privacy Management theory as a guiding framework, we analyze data from 11 focus groups with 65 US adult VBA users and nonusers. Findings highlight differences in attitudes and concerns toward VBAs broadly and provide insights into how attitudes are influenced by device features. We conclude with considerations for how to address boundary regulation challenges inherent in human-machine interactions.
Who is (communicatively more) responsible behind the wheel? Applying the theory of communicative responsibility to TAM in the context of using navigation technology
Authors: Youk Sungbin , Park Hee Sun
Published: July 2023

By examining how perceived usefulness and ease of use relate to the user’s perception (i.e., communicative responsibility), the communicative behavior of the navigation system (i.e., the landmarks used to give directions), and the context of driving (i.e., familiarity of the driving location), this study applies the theory of communicative responsibility to the technology acceptance model to better understand why users are more likely to adopt certain navigation technologies while driving. We hypothesized that users’ perceived symmetry in communicative responsibility independently and interactively (with communicative behavior of the navigation system and the driving situation) affects perceived ease of use and usefulness of the navigation system. Consequently, the perceived ease of use and usefulness may affect the user’s intention to use the navigation system. This study found that usefulness was a significant predictor of behavioral intention. While driving in a less familiar location, the drivers perceived the navigation system to be more useful. When the navigation system provided location-specific landmarks, such as the name of a local store, drivers who attributed more communicative responsibility to the system were likely to find it useful.
Disentangling Two Fundamental Paradigms in Human-Machine Communication Research: Media Equation and Media Evocation
Authors: van der Goot Margot , Etzrod Katrin
Published: July 2023

In this theoretical paper, we delineate two fundamental paradigms in how scholars conceptualize the nature of machines in human-machine communication (HMC). In addition to the well-known Media Equation paradigm, we distinguish the Media Evocation paradigm. The Media Equation paradigm entails that people respond to machines as if they are humans, whereas the Media Evocation paradigm conceptualizes machines as objects that can evoke reflections about ontological categories. For each paradigm, we present the main propositions, research methodologies, and current challenges. We conclude with theoretical implications on how to integrate the two paradigms, and with a call for mixedmethod research that includes innovative data analyses and that takes ontological classifications into account when explaining social responses to machines.
Seriously, what did one robot say to the other? Being left out from communication by robots causes feelings of social exclusion
Authors: Rosenthal-von der Pütten Astrid , Bock Nikolai
Published: July 2023

While humans actually need some overt communication channel to transmit information, be it verbally or nonverbally, robots could use their network connection to transmit information quickly to other robots. This raises the question how this covert robot-robot communication is perceived by humans. The current study investigates how transparency about communication happening between two robots affects humans’ trust in and perception of these robots as well as their feeling of being included/excluded in the interaction. Three different robot-robot communication styles were analyzed: silent, robotic language, and natural language. Results show that when robots transmit information in a robotic language (beep sounds) this leads to lower trust and more feelings of social exclusion than in the silent (i.e., covert) or natural language conditions. Results support the notion that humans are over-sensitive to signs of ostracism which seems to be detected in this style of overt but nonhuman robot-robot communication.
Triggered by Socialbots: Communicative Anthropomorphization of Bots in Online Conversations
Authors: Laaksonen Salla-Maaria , Laitinen Kaisa , Koivula Minna , Sihvonen Tanja
Published: July 2023

This article examines communicative anthropomorphization, that is, assigning of humanlike features, of socialbots in communication between humans and bots. Situated in the field of human-machine communication, the article asks how socialbots are devised as anthropomorphized communication companions and explores the ways in which human users anthropomorphize bots through communication. Through an analysis of two datasets of bots interacting with humans on social media, we find that bots are communicatively anthropomorphized by directly addressing them, assigning agency to them, drawing parallels between humans and bots, and assigning emotions and opinions to bots. We suggest that socialbots inherently have anthropomorphized characteristics and affordances, but their anthropomorphization is completed and actualized by humans through communication. We conceptualize this process as communicative anthropomorphization.

As in every part of Anatolia, the building typology is diversified in the Western Mediterranean Region. Isparta and Burdur houses located in this region, as in other Anatolian houses, the construction technique is observed with masonry stone walls on the ground floors and wooden structures plastered with gypsum plaster on the upper floors. Within the scope of this study, a database was created by examining the conservation status of 22 registered buildings in Burdur and Isparta provinces was restored. The study aims to learn the effects of historical residences on architecture students, to reveal the extent to which the state of preservation is assimilated and their approach to conservation. The subjective evaluations of architectural students of both Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University and Süleyman Demirel University regarding the preservation status of these buildings were examined. The evaluation form was filled in by the students who took and did not take the conservation courses. The correct answers of the students were grouped under the headings of separate criteria for each structure and analyzed using SPSS software. As a result of the study, it has emerged that a different evaluation should be made with standard deviation and quarters analysis using SPSS software. The differences in the results of the students who took and did not take the conservation course were presented more clearly with statistical analyses.
Re-Discussing Architectural Contextualism Through the Competition Project: The Case of Dominique Perrault and Wang Jianguo
Authors: HEKİMOĞLU Yasemin
Published: July 2023

Intentionally or unintentionally, architecture affects the world with its physical and cultural values and represents its judgments with the outcome product. Modern architecture and its influences should be considered to define those judgments in the contemporary architectural environment. The city-in-park model, among the most substantial influences of contemporary architecture, introduces serious challenges. While certain ideas emerge regarding the fundamental issue addressed as exclusivism, criticisms, and suggestions are also available with respect to this subject. This study discusses the concept of contextualism, coined by Stuart Cohen to produce suggestions and criticisms for the problems caused by modern architecture. Also, within the framework of this concept, a critique is presented of the Transformation and Revival of Industrial Heritages Competition. In this critique, while comparing two projects, a general discussion is carried out on the purpose of the projects, the parameters they affect, and the problems they deal with, as well as their form and context. The study aims to reevaluate architectural contextualism with two different projects designed within the framework of the same problems and to present a definitive study based on the idea of renewing in its context, brought by contextualism.

Published: July 2023

This study presents a case study that aims to select the ideal internal wall panel option causing less environmental impact for the Sumerbank Kayseri Textile Factory restoration process, which is now used as part of Abdullah Gul University’s main campus. Since the university has an environmental agenda, examining the environmental impacts of the materials used for the ongoing restoration process has the potential to contribute to these goals. For this purpose, the three most used interior wall panels in the Turkish building material industry, gypsum, reinforced gypsum, and cement-based panels, were selected within the scope of the case study. The life cycle assessment (LCA) method was used to compare these options, and analyses were conducted using SimaPro software. The data required for life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) were obtained based on market analyses and also from the EcoInvent Life Cycle Inventory Database. At the end of the study, damage assessment, weighting, and midpoint and endpoint data of the characterization results provided by the ReCiPe method were compared and interpreted. According to the overall results obtained for the described case conditions, reinforced gypsum panel causes the most adverse environmental impacts, followed by cement and gypsum panels, respectively.
Defining the Adaptive Reuse of Traditional Houses for Tourism Purposes through Multi-Choice Process: Türkiye- Konya /Sille Example
Authors: ERTAS BESIR Sebnem , SÖNMEZ Elif , ÖZDEMİR İlkay , KURAK ACICI Funda
Published: July 2023

“Architecture” is one of the tools that define sustainable cultural tourism. The sustainability of architecture which is an important source of culture is possible by conversation and restoration studies. It is observed that the most worn-out building group is residential buildings due to the lack of strict rules for historical settlements with this potential. A process based on the existence of traditional houses in historical settlements with their current function has been defined to be a tool, not a goal; particularly in cases where this becomes difficult. The Sille quarter which contains various cultural richness of Turkey and provides an adequate touristic axis for the province of Konya has been discussed. Fundamental decisions have been made to determine new functions that will define the model where functions other than residences will not cause transport capacity problems, social and cultural pressures; and prevent protected areas to become the decor of commercial activities.
Wooden-Pillared Sille Çay Mosque and Its Wooden Elements
Authors: BADEMCİ Fikret
Published: July 2023

The use of wood, a traditional building material, in historical mosques dates back to ancient times. The use of wood, which has a wide range of applications in mosques, in the load-bearing system of the building is seen as a distinctive feature of the building. The reason for this situation is that the number of mosques in which wood is used in the load-bearing system is low today. Wooden-pillared mosques, which belong to different periods and have different plan types, can be found in different regions and cities. One of these types of structures, which are frequently encountered especially in Central and Inner Western Anatolia, is the Sille Çay Mosque in Konya. The goal of this study is to document the Sille Çay Mosque as an example of a mosque with wooden columns and to reveal its original aspect. In this context, a sketch of the current state of the building was prepared by examining the building; the architectural elements in the building were photographed, and their ornaments were analyzed. As a result, it was observed that woodworking was used extensively in the mosque, which has a basilical plan typology among the 19th-century wooden-pillared mosques, especially in the pulpit, mihrab, and lectern, and suggestions were made for the restoration of the structure.

Authors: BİÇEN ÇELİK Ayşe , ERGİN Şefika , DAL Murat , AY İlhami
Published: July 2023

The durability of natural stone in traditional buildings is important for the structures to survive today. External environmental factors have negative effects on natural stone materials. When the material is exposed to negative factors, deterioration occurs in the stone. It is important to determine this deterioration and its causes correctly and to offer solutions for the transfer of buildings to future generations. Failure to identify the factors that cause deterioration leads to the growth of damages and the formation of new damages. Determining the deterioration on the surfaces of Hatuniye Madrasah and its causes will be useful in terms of preventing problems and making the right interventions. As a result of the analyses, the types of deterioration that occurred on the facades of the building and the changes in the chemical properties of the stone according to the results of the XRF chemical analysis were determined.

Introduction. Malnutrition is one of main reasons for growth and puberty delay. Objective. To determine the prevalence of functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (FHH) from nutritional origin, and to study its clinical and biological characteristics. Population and methods. This retrospective study was conducted on 32 cases of FHH [secondary to Chronic Diseases + Constitutional Delay of Growth and Puberty (CDGP)], from a series of 125 patients evaluated for delayed puberty (DP) in the Endocrinology Department of the University Hospital Center of Constantine, between 2000 and 2010, and follow-up for at least 5 years. The diagnosis of malnutrition was clinical, according to the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics consensus. Each patient received a general check-up and a gonadotropic and thyrotropic hormonal assay. Other etiological explorations were clinically guided. FHH group was compared with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) group. Results. FHH constituted 26% of the series [21 boys/11 girls, (p<0.5)] vs 24% of IHH group. Secondary HHF represented 20% of cases in the series against 6% of CDGP. Malnutrition represented 27% of the series, 11% of which were directly responsible for delayed puberty (DP). Protein-energy undernutrition and iron deficiency anemia, due to inadequate intake, accounted for 62% of nutritional causes. There was a break in the growth curve in 97% of FHH vs 26% of IHH patients (p<0.001). FHH tripled the risk for developing growth retardation. Testicular volume of FHH group was 2.82±0.73 mL (2.69±0.4 mL in patients with malnutrition) vs 2.09±0.87 mL for IHH group (p<0.05). Conclusion. Despite therapeutic progress, DP in CD is common, representing a severity indicator, and poor control of CD. Prevention of FHH requires early detection, nutritional supplementation, and good control disease.

Published: July 2023

Investigation of form deviations of cylindrical high-speed steel (HSS) products made under turning-milling operation by CNC-controlled lathe machining center (further CNC) with auxiliary drive axle is given. Technological support of high-speed steel products quality made by turning milling operation on a CNC lathe machining center with an auxiliary drive axle takes effect owing to the shape deviation reduction. Planning of experiments was carried out according to the Taguchi method for four factors and three levels. The experiment was conducted on a DMG NEF 400 lathe machining center having an auxiliary drive axle, which allows machining modes to be performed with a rotating tool. Samples of high-speed steel R6M5K5-MP were used. Machining operation was made according to the scheme of orthogonal turning by milling. A core carbide mill CCM 4321 was used as a cutting tool. Out-of-roundness (lobing) was estimated using optical method. All measurements were carried out on the Bruker Contour GT-K1 optical profilometer. Surface micro-dimensions were measured by optical scanning of the surface. Surface optical scanning resulted in a point cloud was obtained that mirrors micro-dimensions of the cylindrical profile of the piece partmeasured section. The obtained data obtained made it possible to measure a lobing that occurs under orthogonal milling turning method. The influence of cutting modes on the shape and size of the maximum peaks of the cut is proved. The smallest facet pattern value is observed for milling width a_e in the range of 3,5...5,5 mm with high feed values for the tooth f_z and low cutting speed v_c. The largest cut height is observed at the average values of a_e, a_p, v_c. It is an optical profilometer that is an effective means of measuring facet patterns or lobings. The results obtained in the work allow predicting form deviations of a blank made of high-speed steel under turning milling operations on CNC machines. The results of the study can be used to improve rotary cutting tools quality in the tool industry.
Modification of a high-speed cutting tool surface by combined tungsten steel and nitrogen saturation
Authors: Petrova Larisa , Sergeeva Alexandra , Vdovin Viktor
Published: July 2023

Research significance is contingent on the requirement strengthening for high-speed cutting tools performance and wide-spread introduction of automatic lines and NC-machines. An increase of the tool service life is also necessary for the reduc-tion of putting expensive alloying elements to use, primarily, tungsten. The solution of these problems requires the use of technologies for hardening cutting surfaces. Combined processes of thermochemical treatment processes, uniting diffusive surface alloying with nitrogen saturation have shown their effectiveness in the surface hardening of various steels. Now the aim is to study the process of combined surface tungsten and nitrogen saturation of high-speed steel for increasing small-sized tool durability. Experimental studies were carried out on samples and small-diameter drills made of P6M5 steel. For laboratory experiments connected with combined process of thermochemical treatment an installation for nitriding in multi-component media was used. Metallization with tungsten was carried out by the slip method with parallel nitriding of the tool in a glow discharge. To determine the regime that provides the necessary temperatures for oxygen and nitrogen saturation, the temperatures of the control steel samples were measured on the surface and in the core at different durations of the cur-rent pulse in the heating phase. Metallographic analysis proved that thermochemical treatment resulted in a modified sur-face layer with a thickness of 10…15 microns, formed in P6M5 steel. The structure of the layer is an internal nitriding zone, which consists of a solid tungsten and nitrogen solution in iron and dispersed inclusions of tungsten nitrides. Dispersion and solid solution hardening provide a two-fold increase in the microhardness of the modified W-N layer compared to the alloy base. A transitional diffusion zone of nitrogenous martensite has been revealed under the hardened layer, creating a smooth microhardness gradient from the layer to the core, protecting it from embrittlement, peeling and staining. Using a metallophysical simulated test in predeveloped methodology, the calculation of the hardening index of the modified layer (yield point increase) was made. It showed that with increase in the concentration of tungsten in the layer, the proportion of the component of the dispersion hardening by W2N particles also increases. Full-scale tests in production conditions showed that the tool with a hardened layer had increased resistance. The durability of drills, determined by the number of drilled holes made before its dropping-out, increases by 2,2 times when drilling on 30XGSA steel and by more than 7,0 times when drilling a titanium alloy VT-23.
Analytic representation of the friction force-temperature relations under the conditions of frictional interaction of spatially-ordered rubbers having steel surface
Authors: Breki Alexander
Published: July 2023

The analysis of the known friction-temperature laws is carried out in the article. A mathematical model of external friction of F.F. Ling and E. Seibel coefficient dependence on temperature, activation energies of formation and destruction of friction bonds and other factors, developed using the equations of absolute rates of chemical reactions, is analyzed. An approxima-tion of this model is implemented in temperature independence case for Bowden and Tabor shear strength. A mathematical model, describing sliding friction force-temperature relation under frictional interaction of spatially ordered rubbers hav-ing steel surface, is proposed. A distinctive feature of the proposed mathematical model is that it can simultaneously describe areas of constancy, friction force linear and nonlinear scaling under temperature changes. The testing and verification of the developed mathematical model is fulfilled through digitizing and processing experimental data, obtained by the fric-tional interaction of bars, made of spatially ordered natural rubber and spatially ordered rubber SCS-50 with a prism made of steel st.3. Analyzing the approximating dependencies, it is found, that for spatially ordered natural rubber, the maximum value of the friction force is 2,0 kgf under the temperature of approximately 37,6 ℃, and the average value of the friction coefficient is 0,987, for spatially ordered natural rubber, the maximum value of the friction force is 1.84 kgf under the tem-perature of approximately 31,4 ℃, while the average value of the coefficient of friction is 0,853. New tribotechnical charac-teristics have been introduced making possible to give a more detailed characterization of the frictional interaction in the rubber-steel system for the cases of temperature changes.
The development of engineering support for loose abrasive working methods
Authors: Bochkarev Pyotr
Published: July 2023

The trends of working methods development based on the analysis of certain working methods using loose abrasive are giv-en. Along with wide technological capabilities and relatively low cost, the existing irregularities of methods are noted. The elimination of them will ensure prospective viability for the development of machining operations with the use of loose abra-sive. An approach was suggested. It consists in forming the structure of databases of working methods according to struc-tural and technological features and generating groups of methods differing in homogeneous design procedures for their development using a mathematical tools technique of cluster analysis. The article describes and provides diagrams of the developed methods of external and internal surfacing of rotation body type using a compacted layer of abrasive medium. They make it possible to get not varying qualitative characteristics, finishing through forming an area of abrasive material in the chamber with equal compaction in the places of interaction of the treated surface and abrasive grains, and to provide conditions for equalization of contact pressures on the working surface. Based on the performed research and testing of the presented methods, scientific and technical tasks have been identified, the solution of which will make it possible to imple-ment the technological support of their effective application. For the purpose of reducing the complexity of the created mod-els and the volume of experimental research, a strategy for conducting research based on the unification of individual pro-ject procedures for technological preparation of production is proposed. The obtained results allowed making theoretical substantiation of a systematic approach to the formation of an environment for automated planning of operations using loose abrasive, which consists in the creation of formalized homogeneous design procedures for grouped working methods.

The Associative Foundation of Conspiratorial Thought
Authors: Kelly Thomas , Hattersley Michael , Ludvig Elliot Andrew
Published: July 2023

People sometimes fail to learn the correct structure of the world, which can lead to outlandish, even conspiratorial, beliefs. Little research, however, has considered how these beliefs are learnt. In associative learning, blocking occurs when people learn less about a novel cue in the presence of another causally predictive cue. Here, blocking was demonstrated in a conspiratorial context. In the task, participants were told of a foreign politician and of a possible conspiracy: this politician has allegedly been poisoned at a given location. Participants then learned about a set of location-illness pairings, with the conspiracy-congruent location paired with somewhere novel to establish if learning about this second location was blocked. Learning about this novel location was blocked by the conspiratorial description and, on aggregate, participants endorsed this conspiracy theory. There was, however, no evidence that conspiracy theorists were more likely to demonstrate blocking in general.

To examine the socioecological factors that are conducive to women’s hunting, we conducted an ethnographic survey using the Human Relations Area Files and other selected sources. Based on life history theory and behavioral ecology, we predicted that women should engage in hunting when: i) it poses few conflicts with childcare, ii) it is associated with few cultural restrictions around the use of hunting technology, iii) it involves low-risk game within range of camp, with the aid of dogs, and/or in groups, and, iv) women fulfill key logistical or informational roles. We systematically reviewed ethnographic documents across 64 societies and coded 242 paragraphs for the above variables. The data largely support theoretical expectations. When women hunted, they did so in a fundamentally different manner than men, focusing on smaller game and hunting in large groups near camp, often with the aid of dogs. There was little evidence to suggest that women only participated in hunting during non-reproductive years; instead, allocate networks were a prominent strategy for mitigating tradeoffs between hunting and childcare responsibilities. Women commonly fulfilled crucial informational, logistical, and ritualistic roles. Cultural restrictions limited women’s participation in hunting, but not to the extent commonly assumed. These data offer a cross-cultural framework for making inferences about whether and how women’s hunting occurred in the past.

Background: The global increase in older employees requires target-group-specific approaches for health promotion. Traditional occupational health interventions (OHI) are rarely taken up due to a lack of time or motivation. LiFE (Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise) integrates neuromotor and strength exercises into everyday life. This study aimed to (1) iteratively adapt the LiFE program for employees ≥ 55 years in a work setting (i.e., wLiFE), and (2) pilot the initial wLiFE version to measure feasibility and pre-post-changes in neuromotor function, strength and physical activity (PA).Methods: For aim 1, a standardised 5-point approach (community assessment, expert and stakeholder consultation, development, modify LiFE to wLiFE), was used. For aim 2, feasibility was tested through a 4-week pre-post intervention study administered by personal trainers. Questionnaires on adherence, exercise frequency, adverse events, and acceptance, were used. Neuromotor function was measured with the 12-Level Balance Scale (12-LBS) and Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CBM), strength with the 60-sec chair test, and PA with a one week sensor-based monitoring. For statistical analysis, mean and standard deviation, and for pre-post changes Wilcoxon signed-rank test with effect size (r) were calculated.Results: The participant manual from the previous LiFE program was adapted based on iterative wLiFE development. In the pilot study, 15 employees (mean age 59, range 55-65 years, 8 female) implemented 9 out of 12 wLiFE activities with 100% intervention adherence. Exercise frequency ranged from 32%-73% days/week and 0.5-2 times/day. No adverse events occurred, and acceptance was high (school grade: 1.6; 92% recommend it). Greatest effects were found for sedentary behaviour-related PA variables (i.e., sedentary bouts > 30min, r = .736, p = .017; sedentary time, r = .516, p = .110) and neuromotor function (CBM, r = -.667, p = .030; 12-LBS, r = -.600, p = .095). Medium effects were found for strength (60-sec chair test, r = -.462) and specific PA variables (number of steps, r = -.363) although not significant (p = .169 - .273). Participants with low baseline function showed higher pre-to-post increases in neuromotor function, strength, and PA (r = .214-1.000).Conclusion: wLiFE development was successful, and pilot testing revealed a positive participants’ feedback, indicating feasibility of LiFE in a work setting with older employees. Changes observed in CBM and sedentary-related variables are promising and justify future studies in this field. The next steps are program adjustments based on study findings and subsequently evaluating wLiFE in a randomised controlled trial.

Di era ini perubahan terus berlangsung secara cepat, juga dalam berbicara tentang kepemimpinan khususnya pada kepemimpinan Kristen. Para pemimpin Kristen tentu menghadapi banyak tuntutan yang kompleks yang mengarah pada jemaat dan melibatkan komunitas. Disisi lain, aliran filsafat pragmatism memberi kerangka tentang bagaimana kepemimpinan Kristen yang menekankan efektivitas, dan hasil yang nyata. Dalam hal ini pemimpin Kristen yang pragmatisme menekankan prinsip pragmatisme dalam pengambilan keputusan, penyelesaian masalah, pengelolaan demi mencapai tujuan yang nyata.Tulisan ini hendak menggali bagaimana konsep pemimpin Kristen yang pragmatis dengan pendekatan yang melibatkan filsafat. Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan tentang karakter dan kualitas seorang pemimpin Kristen yang pragmatis yang dapat diterapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sebagai seorang pemimpin Kristen yang pragmatis.Tujuan tulisan ini adalah sebagai tambahan wawasan yang mendalam tentang pemimpin Kristen yang pragmatis dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan bagaimana dampak dari kepemimpinan tersebut. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan observasi, tulisan ini diharapkan memberikan konstribusi tentang pemahaman kepemimpinan Kristen yang pragmatis dengan harapan bahwa hasil dari tulisan ini bisa digunakan sebagai sumber referensi bahkan panduan bagi pemimpin- pemimpin Kristen di gereja dan praktisi lainnya.

Objective. In this study we compare results obtained when applying the monozygotic twin difference cross-lagged panel model (MZD-CLPM) and a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to the same data. Each of these models is designed to strengthen researchers’ ability to draw causal inference from cross-lagged associations. We explore differences and similarities in how each model does this, and in the results each model produces. Specifically we examine associations between maladaptive parenting and child emotional and behavioural problems in identical twins aged 9, 12 and 16.Method. Child reports of 5,698 identical twins from the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS) were analysed. We ran a regular CLPM to anchor our findings within the current literature, then applied the MZD-CLPM and the RI-CLPM.Results. The RI-CLPM and MZD-CLPM each enable researchers to evaluate the direction of effects between correlated variables, after accounting for unmeasured sources of potential confounding. Our interpretation of these models therefore focusses primarily on the magnitude and significance of cross-lagged associations. In both the MZD-CLPM and the RI-CLPM behavioural problems at age 9 resulted in higher levels of maladaptive parenting at age 12. Other effects were not consistently significant across the 2 models, although the majority of estimates pointed in the same direction.Conclusion. In light of the triangulated methods, differences in the results obtained using the MZD-CLPM and the RI-CLPM underline the importance of careful consideration of what sources of unmeasured confounding different models control for and that nuance is required when interpreting findings using such models. We provide an overview of what the CLPM, RI-CLPM and MZD-CLPM can and cannot control for in this respect and the conclusions that can be drawn from each model.
