Implikasi Pemahaman Kematian bagi Pembinaan Kerohanian Jemaat: Refleksi Teologis Lukas 16:19-31
Authors: Nainggolan Marnaek , Paradesha Happy Fasigita
Published: October 2022

This study aims to counteract the paradigm claim that says that a person's spirit can wander and enter human life. In addition, it is concluded that people who have died can still communicate actively with humans to provide guidance, protection, and sustenance to humans, especially for those who want to honor the spirits of the dead. This attitude has been deeply rooted both from the side, religions, and even cultures in Christianity that do not understand the concept of death from a biblical perspective. The discussion of this article uses an inductive method of qualitative research, first looking for data and Bible facts. Data were collected through field observations and literature study through reference books, journal articles related to problems in article writing. These results explain that the understanding of death in Luke 16:19-31 cannot be used as a basis for thinking that people who have died can still communicate with everyone who is still in the world. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menangkal adanya klaim paradigma yang mengatakan bahwa setelah seseorang meninggal, rohnya dapat mengembara dan memasuki kehidupan manusia. Selain itu sebagian meyakini bahwa orang yang sudah meninggal masih dapat berkomunikasi secara aktif dengan manusia untuk memberi petunjuk, perlindungan, dan rezeki kepada manusia secara khusus bagi mereka yang mau menghormati arwah yang sudah meninggal. Sikap seperti ini telah mengakar kuat baik dari sisi budaya, agama-agama dan bahkan dalam kekristenan yang tidak memahami konsep kematian dari perspektif Alkitabiah. Pembahasan artikel ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif metode induktif penafsiran terlebih dahulu mencari data dan fakta Alkitab. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan dan studi pustaka melalui buku-buku referensi, artikel jurnal yang berkaitan dengan permasalahan dalam penulisan artikel. Hasil pembahasan ini menguraikan bahwa pemahaman kematian pada Lukas 16:19-31 tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai dasar untuk berpikir bahwa orang yang sudah meninggal masih bisa berkomunikasi dengan setiap orang yang masih berada di dunia.

Authors: Telaumbanua Arozatulo
Published: October 2022

Teaching Sunday School needs effective, creative, innovative and dynamic psychomotor to produce a good and quality teaching process. A Sunday School teacher should not underestimate Sunday School children in understanding God's Word. Some Sunday School teachers think children are not critical, the fact they have complex skills. The majority of Sunday School teachers are educated or currently sitting in high school. Thus, the psychomotor aspect really needs to be developed through trainings carried in schools and churches. Because teaching Sunday school cannot be carried like a sermon at Sunday worship in church, but Sunday school activities are full of creations and are colored with a joyful and fun atmosphere for children. The purpose is to improve the skills of State High School 2 Ulunoyo students in teaching creative Sunday schools. A combination of lecture, question and answer and role-playing methods was used. As a result of this community service, students better understand the importance of creation in Sunday school teaching, add experience and give new enthusiasm to be involved in Sunday school activities in their respective churches. They are very enthusiastic about participating in this activity and implementing it in the Sunday school ministry where they serve.Keywords: evelopment; psychomotor; students; teaching; sunday school AbstrakMengajar Sekolah Minggu perlu psikomotorik yang efektif, kreatif, inovatif dan dinamis untuk menghasilkan proses pengajaran yang baik dan berkualitas. Dalam mengajar Sekolah Minggu, seorang guru Sekolah Minggu tidak boleh menganggap remeh anak Sekolah Minggu dalam memahami Firman Tuhan. Sebagian guru Sekolah Minggu beranggapan bahwa anak sekolah minggu tidak kritis. Namun yang benar faktanya ialah anak Sekolah Minggu memiliki keterampilan yang kompleks. Guru Sekolah Minggu mayoritas berpendidikan atau sedang duduk dibangku Sekolah Menengah Atas. Dengan demikian aspek psikomotorik sangat perlu dikembangkan melalui pelatihan-pelatihan yang dilaksanakan di sekolah maupun di gereja. Sebab mengajar sekolah minggu tidak dapat dilaksanakan seperti khotbah pada ibadah minggu atau ibadah raya di gereja, tetapi kegiatan sekolah minggu penuh dengan kreasi-kreasi dan diwarnai dengan suasana yang sukacita serta menyenangkan bagi anak sekolah minggu. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan keterampilan siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 2 Ulunoyo dalam mengajar sekolah minggu yang kreatif. Dalam kegiatan tersebut, digunakan metode kombinasi antara ceramah, tanya jawab dan bermain peran. Hasil dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, siswa lebih memahami pentingnya kreasi dalam mengajar sekolah minggu, menambah pengalaman dan memberikan semangat baru untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan sekolah minggu di gereja masing-masing. Mereka sangat antusias mengikuti kegiatan ini dan menerapkan di pelayanan sekolah minggu di mana mereka melayani.Kata Kunci: pengembangan; psikomotorik; siswa; mengajar; sekolah minggu

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this Community Service Team is to train the knowledge and skills of the GKKI congregations in Purworejo in hermeneutics and homiletics. Community Service Team gave lectures, questions and answers and the tasks carried out by the participants. This training is important because the Bible has gulfs (historical, cultural, linguistic, social and so on) that separate the current reader from the Bible writer. Likewise homiletics, because preaching is an important part of worship, as a means of building faith and means of evangelism. The method used is by going directly to the place of activity and conducting face-to-face training. The training process goes through three stages: preparation, implementation and evaluation as well as a follow-up to the results of the training. The results obtained are that the board and congregation are very enthusiastic in developing their knowledge and skills to preach. They also increasingly understand the importance of hermeneutics for interpreting the Bible. Administrators can also outline sermons and deliver sermons according to good interpretive guidelines.Keywords: training; hermeneutics; homiletics AbstrakTujuan kegiatan PkM ini adalah untuk melatih pengetahuan dan keterampilan pengurus jemaat dalam hermeneutika dan homiletika. Tim PkM memberikan ceramah, tanya jawab dan tugas-tugas yang dikerjakan oleh peserta. Pembelajaran ini penting karena Alkitab memiliki jurang (sejarah, budaya, bahasa, sosial dan sebagainya) yang memisahkan pembaca saat ini dan penulis Alkitab. Demikian juga pelatihan homiletika, karena khotbah merupakan bagian penting dalam ibadah sebagai sarana pembinaan iman dan sarana penginjilan. Para pengurus jemaat juga belum pernah mendapatkan pembelajaran hermeneutika dan pelatihan homiletika, bahkan pemimpin jemaat belum pernah mengikuti pendidikan teologi secara formal. Metode yang digunakan dengan mendatangi langsung tempat kegiatan dan melakukan pelatihan secara tatap muka. Proses pelatihan melalui tiga tahap: persiapan, pelaksanaan dan evaluasi juga tindak lanjut hasil pelatihan. Adapun hasil yang diperoleh yaitu pengurus jemaat sangat antusias dalam mengembangkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mereka untuk berkhotbah. Mereka juga semakin memahami pentingnya hermeneutika untuk menafsirkan Alkitab. Para pengurus juga dapat menyusun kerangka khotbah dan menyampaikan khotbah sesuai dengan pedoman-pedoman penafsiran yang baik.Kata kunci: pelatihan; hermeneutika; homiletika

Authors: García Gutiérrez Alejandro , Gil-Osuna Juan David , Pimiento-Diaz Mariana , Viveros-Enriquez Juan Alejandro , González Clavijo Angélica María
Published: October 2022

Contexto: La enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) presenta un amplio espectro sintomático que varía de persona a persona. Sin embargo, hay evidencia que denota una dependencia del sexo en la severidad de los síntomas.
Objetivo: Describir los criterios y planteamientos que sugieren a las diferencias de sexo como factores responsables de la mortalidad y severidad de los síntomas de la enfermedad por SARS-CoV-2.
Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda descriptiva de la literatura en la base de datos PubMed, tomando artículos publicados desde diciembre de 2019 hasta mayo de 2021, siendo los idiomas de publicación inglés y español, englobando estudios actuales y retrospectivos sobre factores sexuales, hormonales, moleculares y genéticos en la infección y enfermedad por SARS-CoV-2.
Resultados: Se seleccionaron 30 artículos, los cuales abordaban principalmente las siguientes líneas y temas de investigación: epidemiología y salud pública, ciencias biomédicas (evolución, reproducción, genética, inmunología, endocrinología, bioquímica, biología molecular) y, medicina clínica.
Conclusiones: Estadísticamente hay menor severidad y mortalidad por la infección en población femenina a nivel global. Esta tendencia responde a mecanismos que incluyen: una mayor reserva de enzima convertidora de angiotensina II (ECA2) en algunos tejidos, una respuesta inmune más eficaz debido a la presencia de hormonas sexuales que actúan como factores protectores a la enfermedad, así como mecanismos propios de los genes sexuales, ya sea la inactivación del X o genes asociados al sistema inmune.

ALTERNATIVAS DE MONEDA PARA LA INFORMACIÓN FINANCIERA DE LAS EMPRESAS EN EL ENTORNO ECONÓMICO VENEZOLANO
Authors: Morillo González Arnoldo José
Published: October 2022

En Venezuela, la moneda de curso legal es el bolívar y es por ello que todas las transacciones mercantiles y financieras deben hacerse en esa moneda. Recientemente ha sido reconocida la hiperinflación, a partir de la publicación por parte del Banco Central de Venezuela, y es conocido el uso de la divisa como medio de pago y protección de los activos por parte de las empresas en el entorno económico venezolano. Esto hace que pudiese surgir incertidumbres sobre cuál moneda será más útil en la presentación de información financiera: ajustada por inflación, ajustada por inflación y convertida en divisa, o presentada directamente en divisa. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar teóricamente, desde una perspectiva legal, económica y financiera, las alternativas de moneda para la información financiera de las empresas, en el entorno económico venezolano. La metodología empleada se basó en la revisión bibliográfica y análisis sistemático y reflexivo de fuentes secundarias representadas por textos escritos y consultas a través de páginas web. Las leyes venezolanas establecen como moneda legal el bolívar y la información financiera suministrada debe ser útil. El dinero presenta tres funciones: reserva de valor, medio de cambio, unidad de cuenta. La información financiera se debe presentar a valores ajustados por inflación y puede ser posteriormente convertida en moneda extranjera. Conclusiones: la moneda legal es el bolívar; el dinero, producto de la inflación ha diluido sus funciones fundamentales; la información financiera se ajusta por inflación y luego se pudiese convertir en divisas mejorando su utilidad.

SERVICE QUALITY MEASUREMENT IN TANZANIAN BUSINESS SCHOOLS
Authors:   College of Business Education (CBE), Mbise Esther
Published: October 2022

The extended SERVQUAL instrument is examined and validated for measuring business schoolsâ€™ service quality in Tanzania-an emerging economy. The relative weights that students attach to various dimensions of the service quality in business schools are established and compared in two periods of time, pre and post graduation. A longitudinal survey was conducted with final year students from two business schools-the College of Business Education and the Institute of Accountancy Arusha. Â The validity of the extended SERVQUAL instrument is excellent- Î± >0.95. A new Process Outcome dimension in the extended SERVQUAL is more important than other dimensions. It is suggested that the extended SERVQUAL instrument be used by managers of business schools to identify factors which students use to assess the quality of the education services they receive. Knowledge of these factors will enable business schoolsâ€™ managers set priorities while allocating scarce resources to improve quality per school and in higher education, in general. Regulatory bodies should make use of this model as a supplement to the traditional performance measures.

The Political Peter Pan of the Literary World on the Stage with His Beggars: Educational Analysis
Authors: Nozen Seyedeh Zahra , Amani Bahman
Published: October 2022

Little is known about the ‘Peter Pan’ of the literary world of the eighteenth-century England, compared to his contemporary authors. Even though some of the authors of his age have thick volumes of correspondence to their credits, John Gay’s correspondence is as thin as his social position and literary fame. Had it not been for the recent efforts of the editor of The Letters of John Gay, even the present petite volume of Gay’s correspondence would not have been available for any research work and this paper alike. His high ambitions in political preferment destroyed his literary dignity. This paper intends to investigate the socio-cultural background of the young indefatigable literary figure of the English literature against which his political role is foregrounded. The descriptive method is used to meet that aim. Given the results, The Beggar’s Opera as a true, actual and direct manifestation of national detestation of the corrupt political situation and the individual, thought to be responsible for it, endorsed its ‘suspected success’ and led ‘Peter Pan’ to be the nightmare of ministers.

Published: October 2022

The present study is quantitative research that attempts to scrutinize the drawbacks and acceptable ways of using a prominent online meeting platform, Google Meet, while determining its role in view of students’ perceptions as far as foreign language teaching and anxiety is concerned. Using online meeting programs can be considered to be an amusing and a versatile solution at first step. Yet, during the COVID-19 pandemic such platforms despite being a great remedy for the continuation of education on the one hand, were tested whether they would manage to substitute face-to-face education environment at the required level. While the previous studies prior to the pandemic could provide only limited and regional case studies carried out around the globe, those which are implemented in the wake of it will constitute a determining pattern regarding its use for utmost benefits or harm. Therefore, the real contribution or negative effects of such platforms will emerge depending on the further studies similar to the current one. Hence, in conformity with the purpose of the study, first a case specific Likert type scale was constructed utilizing inferential statistics to provide a better projection. Then, the scale was applied to 130 university students attending the English Language Literature Department of a state university to find out solutions for two fundamental research questions. As the results were analyzed through descriptive statistics, the findings of the study denoted different perspectives of students which would provide beneficial results for the upcoming interests of foreign language teaching field.

La información del consumo de alimentos y bebidas en la población venezolana es indispensable para identificar problemas nutricionales y grupos en riesgo, por edad, áreas geográficas y niveles socioeconómicos. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las características de la ingesta promedio de alimentos en la población entre 15 y 65 años en Venezuela durante el año 2015. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 1132 sujetos, a quienes se les aplicó 2 recordatorios de 24 horas, no consecutivos con la metodología de pasos múltiples, y un cuestionario de frecuencia cualitativa sobre la ingesta de bebidas. El consumo promedio de calorías fue de 1.925 kcal, distribuidas en: 16,3% proteínas, 30,2% grasas, 52,4% carbohidratos y 1,1% alcohol. El 79,2% de la muestra presenta una dieta habitual inadecuada por déficit en calorías. La deficiencia en minerales fue mayor en mujeres, calcio (92,9%), hierro (42,2%) y zinc (76,6%). La mayoría de los encuestados realizaron 3 comidas al día. El almuerzo fue la comida que predominó en la ingesta diaria, seguida en orden decreciente por desayuno y cena. Las bebidas azucaradas jugos de frutas y gaseosas son una importante fuente de carbohidratos simples. El estudio EVANS 2015 muestra una caída importante en el consumo de macro y micronutrientes, en especial en los estratos sociales y niveles educativos más bajos y en los adultos mayores, que es diferente por regiones, lo cual está generando en sectores vulnerables un estado nutricional y de salud deficiente, con el aumento consecuente de las enfermedades por déficit de calorías y nutrientes.

Los patrones de consumo se utilizan para identificar el tipo y variedad de alimentos que consume una población de manera habitual. La pregunta que se intenta responder en este trabajo es la siguiente: ¿qué es lo que usualmente comen los venezolanos y en qué cantidades? Se utilizan los resultados del Estudio Venezolano de Nutrición y Salud (EVANS), 2015, para identificar un patrón general de alimentación y relacionarlo con la ingesta de energía y macronutrientes. Además, se aplican técnicas estadísticas para identificar distintos subpatrones, que dependen de diversos factores sociodemográficos como región y clase social. Se encontró un patrón general de la población venezolana, con un promedio de 911 gramos y 1.925 kcal, inferior a la referencia nacional de 2.300 kcal. Además se obtuvieron 5 patrones de consumo diferenciados según su composición nutricional. El patrón 1 con altos niveles de adecuación, presente en apenas 6% de la población, y el 5 con una marcada inadecuación por déficit en todos los nutrientes, presente en 35% de los participantes en el estudio. Dos patrones intermedios, cuyo consumo parece estar influido por factores de tipo geográfico. El patrón 3, característico de los llanos y la región occidental, en el que resalta un alto consumo de carne, grasas y cereales; y un patrón 4, más característico de la región oriental y Guayana, con predominio de pescado y frutas. El patrón 2, más característico de la región andina y central, presenta un nivel adecuado de consumo en casi todos los nutrientes. Los patrones muestran diferencias geográficas y la existencia de una alta vulnerabilidad alimentaria en 35% de la población cuyo consumo calórico promedio alcanza niveles de sobrevivencia.

Authors: Wu Yuqing
Published: October 2022

Since 2021, China’s semiconductor industry and chip industry have been in the hot stage. While the scale of the two industries has continued to expand, there are also problems of bubble economy and excessive competition. In the first half of 2022, the stock market has entered an adjustment cycle. In order to predict the returns trend of the adjustment cycle and help investors make reasonable decisions. This paper uses AIC and BIC criteria to determine the order of the model, test the significance of the model and its parameters, then build the ARMA(2,1) model to predict the closing price of the SSE STAR Market Chip Index from January 2nd, 2020 to February 21st, 2022. According to the results, this paper finds out that both fitting effect and forecasting effect are good. The index will maintain a downward trend in the next 30 periods. Through the above empirical analysis, this paper puts forward two suggestions: firstly, in the face of industry differentiation, people need to invest rationally; secondly, semiconductor companies and chip companies should attach importance to mergers and acquisitions.
A Review Study on the Analysis of Validity Validation of Chinese Stock Market Pairs Using CAPM
Authors: Du Mahe
Published: October 2022

Since the inception of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), numerous empirical studies have been conducted to test its effectiveness. However, there are several disputes surrounding the CAPM model's implementation and study in the Chinese securities market. This paper first describes the significance of the CAPM model in testing its validity in the Chinese market. Then the paper summarizes 11 papers that include using data from the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges as assistance, and using different analytical methods to conduct research. The investigation demonstrates that the CAPM model's relevance and validity in the China stock market are restricted. Finally, a summary of the issues with the CAPM model's practical use in the Chinese securities market is provided, along with suggestions for solutions.

Published: October 2022

This study uses the ISM (Interpretative Structural Modelling) to model, relies on expert judgment to obtain better results, reveals the hierarchical relationship between each risk, and indicates its role path in small and medium-sized construction enterprises. At the same time, the driving and dependent coordinator diagram of the MICMAC (Matriced Impacts Corises-Multiplication Appliance Classment) is used to further analyze the interaction mechanism of each risk. The study found that the financial risk identification was divided into the transition structure of 6 levels and 21 classes. Gross profit margin of sales and the number of real estate enterprises are two indirect factors affecting the financial risk of small and medium-sized construction enterprises. Asset-liability ratio, interest coverage ratio, and inventory turnover rate are the direct factors affecting the financial risks of small and medium-sized construction enterprises. Liquidity ratio, quick ratio, cash ratio, return on total assets, basic earnings per share, return on net assets, operating profit, turnover rate of accounts receivable, inventory turnover rate, net profit growth rate, operating profit growth rate, growth rate of return on net assets, total assets of the enterprise, the number of enterprise personnel, national fixed real estate investment quota and real estate sales area are the deep-seated factors affecting the financial risks of small and medium-sized construction enterprises, while the first solution of the driving factors such as turnover of total capital can also help reduce the risk of construction enterprise and enhance the vitality of the enterprise.

Published: October 2022

Investors care about how to choose a portfolio that is worth investing in from the huge stock market in China because they want to obtain a high rate of return (RoR) by controlling the investment risk. Then, the three-factor model as a quantitative investment strategy can effectively satisfy investors’ requirements by selecting influential factors highly related to stock prices. Moreover, current existing journals on three-factor stock selection strategies in China mostly use constituent stocks of CSI 300 as research data, and there are few studies on the SSE Composite Index, especially the SSE STAR Market which was officially opened in June 2019. Therefore, based on the demand of investors and the innovation of sample data, this paper selects the SSE STAR Market as the stock pool to construct a three-factor model and uses data of the A-share market to construct another model simultaneously for comparison. Finally, the research result of this paper demonstrates that the three-factor model can predict the RoR of the SSE STAR Market and A-share market well, so it can be used to predict the RoR in the actual investment process and then provide an objective suggestion for the investors in the real-world stock market.
Stock Prediction Analysis and Risk Conduction Path Research Based on EMD-LSTM Model
Authors: Xu Jingwen
Published: October 2022

Stock market, government bond market and corporate bond market are important components of my country's financial market. It is of great significance to study stock market price fluctuations and their forecasting methods, and to reveal the risk transmission path between them. The first part of this paper mainly studies the construction of the index price prediction model, and makes a comprehensive comparison of the high-frequency fluctuation characteristics, long-term trend characteristics and average trend characteristics of the EMD decomposition results of the Shanghai Composite Index, the SSE Government Bond Index, and the SSE Corporate Bond Index. The LSTM prediction model and the EMD-LSTM prediction model were established for the three sequences respectively, and the prediction effects of the models were comprehensively compared by calculating the RMSE and MAPE of the predicted values of the test set. The results show that after the introduction of the EMD method, the prediction effects of the SSE Composite Index and the SSE Corporate Bond Index prediction model have been greatly improved, but the prediction effect of the SSE Government Bond Index prediction model is far inferior to that of the LSTM model. The second part of this paper mainly studies the financial market risk analysis and transmission path. First, the fluctuation risk analysis and stationarity analysis of the logarithmic return series of the three index price series are carried out. The yield series are stable. Then, the LSTM models based on different training data predict three index price series and compare the prediction results to study the similarity of the price fluctuation mechanism of the three financial markets. The results show that the price fluctuation mechanism of the stock market is similar to that of the corporate bond market, and the price fluctuation mechanism of the government bond market is more similar to the corporate bond market than the stock market. The paper conducts E-G cointegration test on three logarithmic return series that have been tested for stationarity to study the long-term equilibrium relationship between the three markets and finds that there is a cointegration relationship between the SSE Composite Index and the SSE Government Bond Index, as well as the SSE Government Bond Index and the SSE Corporate Bond Index. Finally, the Granger causality test is carried out between the sequences with cointegration relationship, and the result shows that the risk transmission mechanism between the national debt market and the corporate bond market is strong, while the risk transmission mechanism between the stock market and the bond market is weak.
