Review of two recently introduced epitaphs of Koguryo refugees: The epitaph of Lee Inhoe and the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Jang Byungjin
Published: January 2024

In 2022, two new epitaph materials for Koguryo refugees were introduced in China. These are The epitaph of Lee Inhoe and the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon. Lee Inhoe was a man of Liaoyang and his family was a powerful family from the Liaoxi and Liaodong areas.
Lee Inhoe's ancestors directly participated in the Tang's control of Koguryo's old lands, and most likely participated in the Tang's invasion of Koguryo before that. However, it seems that a more cautious approach is needed to directly identify them as being from Koguryo.
According to the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon, Mrs. Cheon is the daughter of Cheon Hyuneun and the great-granddaughter of Cheon Heonsung. However, the genealogy of the family differs from the existing data, raising questions. Unlike the existing data showing that Heonsung and Hyuneun were in a father-son relationship, in the epitaph of Mrs. Cheon, Heonsung and Hyuneun appear in a grand-grandson relationship. In addition, her grandfather, Dongje, is a person who has not been confirmed in any known materials related to the Cheon family. Unraveling the background of information confusion will be a future task.
The Context and Implication of the Rabbit Figure Supporting the Celadon Incense Burner with Openwork Auspicious-character Design Lid in the National Museum of Korea: Focusing on the Symbolism of the Rabbit and the Atlas Motif
Authors:   The Paek-San Society, Lee Haiju
Published: January 2024

This study discusses the symbolism of the rabbit statue on the base of a celadon incense burner with an openwork auspicious-character design lid in the National Museum of Korea. Chapter II analyzes the overall design of the incense burner, pointing out that although the rabbit statue is small in size, it is a three-dimensional figure with detailed carving of each part of the body and inlaid techniques used to express the eyes, making it an important component that embodies artistry beyond a simple base. Chapter III explores the spectrum of perceptions of the rabbit by examining rabbit sculptures from before the Goryeo period. As a symbol of fertility and longevity, thought to be a guide to the quick passage of the souls of the dead to the afterlife, rabbits were attached to funerary urns in the Silla period. They were depicted as moon symbols in Goguryeo tomb paintings and Unified Silla roof-end tiles. In Unified Silla, rabbits were also carved into royal tombs as members of the Twelve Great Deities to show the despotic kingship of the kings guarding the tomb, or were majestically displayed in stupas to represent the authority of Bhaisajyaguru. In Chapter IV, the meaning of the three rabbits supporting the incense burner was derived from three aspects. First, the intention of the rabbit's representation on the incense was inferred from the similarities between the rabbit's self-sacrifice and the offering of incense in The Jataka Tales of the Rabbit's Original Life (Sasa Jataka), which is to burn oneself and offer it to the gods. Since the rabbit was Buddha in the previous life, the life in which he practiced the great act of selflessness, it is believed that the rabbit was chosen to stand alone on the base of the incense burner, even though it does not symbolize absolute physical power. Through this carving of the rabbit, it can be seen that the 12th-century Goryeo people understood the offering of incense and the act of self-sacrifice in the same context. Second, the appearance of rabbits in historical texts and geographical journals from the Three Kingdoms and Goryeo periods was examined. In doing so, the chapter describes who recognized rabbits as auspicious animals in addition to being a symbol in Buddhism. Third, it discusses the internationalization of Goryeo culture, which is reflected in the sculpture of the atlas that supports the top. It is interpreted that the incense burner represents the cosmopolitanism of Goryeo culture because the rabbit statue on the incense burner was arranged in a form similar to the atlas statues popular in ancient Greece, Persia, and India and spread along the Silk Road.

Published: January 2024

This study aims to examine the disease and diet of people in the Gyeonggi area in the late Joseon Period based on the morphological and chemical analysis of human remains from an archaeological context. The human remains contain information on individual health and diet. In this study, we applied physical anthropological analysis and stable isotope analysis to understand the disease and diet of individuals from the late Joseon period. As a result, the physical and pathological characteristics of the study group were summarized into three. First, the life expectancy of the study group was under 50 years. Second, osteoarthritis was evenly high in the study group regardless of gender and age. Third, Dental caries and enamel hypoplasia were identified with high frequency in the study group. According to these results, we inferred high labor intensity, poor dental care, and childhood nutritional imbalance of people in the Gyeonggi area in the late Joseon Period. Next, the dietary characteristics of the study group were summarized into two. First, the study group’s diet was highly dependent on C3 plants. Second, the statistical comparison showed no difference in diet between several factors (Sex, age, disease, burial type, excavated site). The results showed that dietary variations in the late Joseon Period were small, depending on several domesticated crops. And this dietary pattern is very common in an agricultural society that relies on a small number of cultivated crops.

В статье проведена комплексная оценка степени адаптации кустарниковых интродуцентов, выращиваемых в Акмолинской области, по характеру роста и генеративному развитию. В процессе перестройки сезонного цикла развития у интродуцированных растений изменяется время начала и окончания фенологических фаз, уменьшается их продолжительность. Кроме того, период цветения характеризуется удлинением и длительностью не менее благоприятных климатических условий. В целом вегетационный период интродуцированных на севере растений намного короче, чем у их естественной родины и других географических регионов. При смене растений происходят изменения не только в их внешней форме, но и в сезонном развитии, например, время начала и окончания вегетационного периода и весь цикл перехода от активного состояния к покоящемуся и обратно. Эти процессы протекают под влиянием различных факторов: температуры, влажности, освещенности, состава почвы и других, которые существенно отличаются от обычных. Первичные фенофазы (набухание и распускание почек) определяются температурой воздуха и почвы. Анализ фенологического контроля за несколько лет в Акмолинской области показал, что в процессе реконструкции ритма развития акклиматизированных растений по отношению к климатическому характеру изменяется как время их начала, так и продолжительность фенологических фаз. У интродуцентов с ранним началом и концом вегетационного периода сезонный цикл развития, как правило, соответствует климатическому характеру исследуемой зоны, проходит в короткие сроки и завершается при температуре выше +5 °С. Вегетационный период растений, требующих высоких температур, превышает конец вегетационного периода, что отрицательно сказывается на их общем состоянии, росте и высоте.

This study aimed to describe a surgical procedure for the management of corticosteroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and report its clinical results. The technique included harvesting a bone plug from the lateral femoral neck, core decompression, and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) application; the procedure was completed by press-fit insertion of the autologous bone plug in the debrided area. Autologous bone plug-sliding with core decompression and bone marrow concentrate aspirate application provides good clinical outcomes in the management of ONFH. A retrospective review was performed using records of patients operated on between October 2019 and June 2021. Only patients with Ficat-Arlet stage-2 ONFH, who underwent the procedure described, were included. Twenty- nine hips (18 patients) were included and evaluated clinically and radiologically. Clinical evaluation included the Harris hip score (HHS) and Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, while radiological evaluation included direct radiographs. The average age was 39.8 years (± 11.7, range: 24-65 years). The average follow-up was 13.5 months (± 3.4, range: 8-19 months). There were improvements in the VAS pain and Harris hip scores in all patients. Average HHS increased from 61.90 to 87.45 (p < 0.001), while the average VAS pain score decreased from 7.14 to 3.27 (p < 0.001). No complications were encountered in any of the patients during the follow-up. None of the patients had femoral head collapse on the latest radiograph or required total hip replacement. The combination of the novel autologous bone plug-sliding method with conventional regenerative methods is a successful treatment choice for ONFH.

СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЕ ОБУСТРОЙСТВА ИСКУССТВЕННЫХ НЕРОВНОСТЕЙ В г. ТАЛАС
Authors: Абдырахманов Иманбек
Published: January 2024

В данной статье на основе обзора применения искусственных неровностей (ИН), которая в просторечии называется «лежачий полицейский», выдвигается предложение по совершенствованию обустройства искусственных неровностей, заключающиеся в следующем: на дорогах с двух полосным движением в г. Талас, взамен установленных ИН на всю ширины, их располагают на половине  ширины проезжих частей, в соответствии с полосами движения перед пешеходным переходом, и в дополнении к ИН на линию, разделяющей транспортные потоки противоположных направлений у линии расположения  искусственных неровностей устанавливается дорожные отбойники. В зоне действия ИН наносятся горизонтальные дорожные разметки и устанавливаются дорожные знаки в соответствии требованиям ПДД. Предлагаемые обустройства ИН уменьшает количество переездов через неровности, следовательно, снижая негативные последствия, вытекающие при преодолении «лежачих полицейских», как частые поломки подвесок автомобиля, нагрузок на водителя и дискомфорт пассажиров. Кроме того, наличие дорожного отбойника предотвращает выезд автотранспорта на встречную полосу движения в зоне расположения ИН. Образованный островок безопасности повысит безопасность пешеходов при переходе через проезжую часть.

Published: January 2024

Sheep meat production is facing new challenges, so a thorough knowledge of the attributes of lamb meat produced by different genotypes and under pasture conditions is necessary to characterise these systems, to valorise and differentiate the product from a quality approach and towards a more natural image, attributes that are increasingly taken into account by consumers. This study aimed to characterize the lamb meat nutritionally, coming from five genetic types, reared in a pastoral system, through the content of essential minerals, macro element, Ca, Mg, Na and K, trace elements as Se, Co, Zn, Cu, Mn, total iron (TFe), hem iron (HFe) and non–hem iron (NHFe) and B12 vitamin in the Longissimus dorsi muscle. The breeds, Corriedale, Merino Dohne, Highlander®, Corriedale Pro, and Australian Merino x Corriedale crossbreed; n=10, were studied. Merino Dohne breed has the highest calcium concentration (66.6 ± 6.3 mg·kg–1), Highlander® and Merino Dohne have a significantly (P<0.05) higher manganese concentration (304.1 ± 26.0 and 308.7 ± 23.6 µg·kg–1, respectively) than the other breeds. There were no significant differences in vitamin B12 concentrations between lamb breeds. The HFe and HFe/TFe ratio was higher (P<0.05) in the Corriedale and Corriedale Pro breeds (15.7 ± 0.6 and 15.4 ± 0.7 mg·kg–1 and 81.7 ± 2.8% and 76.0 ± 2.2%, respectively) and consequently less NHFe, related to others groups. Also, increased Zn content was obtained in Corriedale (32.6 ± 1.3 mg·kg–1), but other breeds are also rich in zinc. These results show that meat from these breeds qualifies as a good source claim for people with high requirements as children and elders.

Published: January 2024

The loss of genetic diversity in farm animal genetic resources is a growing concern, with many local breeds facing possible extinction. This study on Goat production in Cyprus was carried out to establish the morpho–biometric profile of indigenous Cyprus Native Hair Goats, for which there is no scientific information necessary for their proper classification and identification, for that purpose 60 animals were measured on 17 morphobiometric traits. A two–way analysis of variance with the interaction of the effects of age and gender was performed. White, chamoise, light buckskin, brown–white, white–grey, grey, pinto, and bay colors were the common coat colors recorded with proportions of 28.6; 14.29; 14.29; 14.29; 7.14; 7.14; 7.14 and 7.14%, respectively. All the Cyprus Hair Goats had horns with an arc shape. Wattles, beard, topknot, and feathered feet traits were seen in proportions of 14.3, 57.14, 50 and 21.43%, respectively. Gender factor showed a significant (P<0.05) effect on ear length, head length, wither height, heart girth, chest width, body length, hip height, cannon circumference, and body weight, as well as on morphological indices such as foreleg length, compact index, and area index. However, female Cyprus Hair Goats recorded greater proportionality index values than males. This revealed that females had a brevilinear profile with dairy–type breed characteristics and males were mesolinear with a meat–type profile. Further studies are needed to highlight and expose the potential genetic material of Cyprus Native Hair Goats.
Analysis of Internal and External Factors Affecting Liquid Chemical Cargo Port Efficiency
Authors: Yüksekyıldız Ercan
Published: January 2024

The measurement of port efficiency is a crucial requirement in the maritime sector and has been the subject of numerous studies due to its direct impact on international trade. The methods used to determine port efficiency vary depending on the characteristics of the operations under investigation. Depending on which port operations are assessed, port adequacy can be measured in various ways. In the literature, it is evident that port efficiencies are mostly determined using numerical methods. However, when analyzing port efficiency, measuring it solely through numerical processes can lead to misleading results in some cases. To avoid this, it is necessary to analyze non-numerical internal and external factors that affect port efficiency. In this study, non-numerical internal and external factors influencing port efficiency in liquid chemical cargo ports were identified through a literature review and by experts. The identified factors were evaluated through surveys conducted with experts specializing in liquid chemical cargo ports. The survey results were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 statistical software. According to the results obtained from the surveys, factors such as the location and dimensions of the port area, the adequacy of hinterland connections and logistic facilities, well-organized physical surroundings of the port, the use of technological innovations, and the proper functioning of the quality control system were identified as significant factors affecting port efficiency. In addition to these factors, accurate job analysis in the port, satisfactory wages, sufficient education levels, and morale of port personnel were also found to be crucial factors influencing port efficiency.

Screen “Breaks” and the Critical Spectator: Cultivating Movie Expertise in the Photoplay Feature “Why-Do-They-Do-It?”
Authors: Brown Patrick
Published: January 2024

This article interprets the silent-era Photoplay column “Why-Do-They-Do-It?” as a ludic form of participation akin to the film press’s contests and puzzles. Publishing fan-submitted letters on movie bloopers, “Why-Do-They-Do-It?” was contextualized as a medium of feedback between the viewer and the techno-cultural apparatus of the cinema. The column facilitated a disciplining of the spectatorial gaze. As the 1920s dawned and Photoplay’s readership began to skew toward young women, this critical gaze was increasingly transferred from the films toward the self, as the column was often set adjacent to advertisements for beauty and hygiene products.

It has been proven that digital games, in addition to some negative sides that are often discussed in various media and on the Internet, do also have quite a few positive ones. In particular, they can be of great help in developing various skills in adolescents such as critical thinking, communication, and technical skills. The purpose of the present study is to scrutinize the results of approximately one dozen recently published research studies and publications in the area and to provide an evaluation of the achieved results. This evaluation will be of use to developers of online learning who may be hesitating about the benefits of the use of digital games in education. Do games have a positive impact on learner motivation and engagement, and if so, to what extent? Which elements in learning using games have a more tangible effect and which ones have a more negligible one? What are the bottom line results and to what extent do digital games have a positive effect on learner success? These are the questions that, in the era of distance learning, increasingly concern both the scientific community, teachers and school administration, as well as adolescents and their parents. In this paper we try to answer these questions by reviewing key research from the recent past.

Mengulik Pemahaman tentang Gender menurut Kejadian 1:27 sebagai Refleksi Teologi Pentakosta Tradisional terhadap LGBT
Authors: Purnomo Catur Sigit , Manurung Kosma
Published: January 2024

Abstract: In this post-modern era, the issue of gender has become increasingly complex. Within Christianity itself, there is a debate about whether the gender issue can be tolerated and accepted within a religious context or not. Churches also tend to differ in their implementation of policies related to this issue, ranging from rejection, indifference, to acceptance. From this dilemma, it is interesting to understand how Pentecostals, in particular, view this matter. This article seeks to examine how the Bible, especially Genesis 1:27, perceives the concept of gender and how this perspective can be applied to LGBT individuals from a Pentecostal standpoint. Through textual analysis and careful literature review, this article investigates the Bible's viewpoint on the LGBT community and offers an interpretation in the form of a divine gender concept according to the Bible. The Pentecostal reflection found includes an emphasis on gender, sexual organs in relation to the divine reproductive system, the holiness of a believer's life, and the need for a divine community to provide support in implementing the divine gender concept in a holistic manner.Abstrak: Pada zaman post-modern ini, isu mengenai gender menjadi semakin rumit. Dalam Kekristenan sendiri, terdapat pertentangan apakah isu mengenai gender ini dapat ditoleransi dan diterima dalam konteks keagamaan atau tidak. Gereja pun cenderung berbeda dalam menerapkan kebijakan terkait isu ini, mulai dari yang menolak, mengabaikan hingga menerima. Dari dilema ini, maka menarik untuk memahami bagaimana kaum Pentakostal, menilik hal ini. Artikel ini berupaya mengkaji bagaimana Alkitab, terutama kitab Kejadian 1:27, memandang konsep gender dan bagaimana pandangan ini dapat diterapkan pada orang-orang LGBT dari sudut pandang kaum Pentakostal. Menerapkan analisis teks serta menggunakan kajian literatur secara seksama, artikel ini menyelidiki cara pandang Alkitab terhadap komunitas LGBT dan membuat interpretasi berupa konsep gender yang ilahi menurut Alkitab. Refleksi Pentakostal yang ditemukan mencakup penekanan pada gender, organ seksual dalam hubungannya dengan sistem reproduksi ilahi, kesucian hidup orang percaya, serta perlunya komunitas yang ilahi untuk memberikan dukungan dalam rangka menerapkan konsep gender yang Ilahi secara holistik.

Abstract: This study uses a qualitative method; Conduct literature reviews on various literature such as the Bible, articles, books and other references. This article presents ideas about the urgency of revitalizing Christian education in the anticipating era as an offer of thought for church members and students in using digital technology. Seeing the current digital space which is full of challenges and crucial problems such as misuse of technology, God's people are expected to have a deep, contextual and biblical perspective and biblical principles. By exposing the narrative of Ephesians 5:15-16, this research produces several theological principles that can be used as a guide in revitalizing Christian education in the anticipating era, namely: Be thorough and critical, be wise, and use your time well. These three principles contain deep theological meaning and are relevant if used as a thinking paradigm by church members and students in harmonizing Christian religious values in the anticipating era.Abstrak: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif; Melakukan kajian pustaka diberbagai literatur seperti Alkitab, artikel, buku, dan referensi lainnya. Artikel ini menyajikan gagasan tentang urgensi revitalisasi pendidikan Kristen di era anticipating sebagai sebuah tawaran pemikiran bagi warga gereja dan peserta didik dalam menggunakan teknologi digital. Melihat ruang digital saat ini yang penuh dengan tantangan dan masalah krusial seperti penyalahgunaan teknologi, umat Allah diharapkan memiliki cara pandang serta prinsip alkitabiah yang mendalam, kontekstual, dan biblikal.

Narasi Kepemimpinan Perempuan: Studi Naratif Kisah Debora dan Yael dalam Hakim-hakim 4:1-24
Authors: Paembongan Raka Saden Priya L
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Every organization has a leader, and leaders are trusted to lead their members to achieve certain goals. Sometimes leaders are still tainted by the social gap from a gender perspective, that men are superior to women. This fact can be seen from some churches and social organizations that prohibit women from becoming leaders, especially in the biblical narrative in both the Old and New Testaments in 1 Corinthians 14:34. Therefore, Judges 4:1-23 tries to see that there is equality in leadership carried out by women, especially Deborah, and also Jael in leading the Israelites to defeat the Canaanites. The research method is narrative criticism of the text of Judges 4:1-23, which looks at the flow of the narrative, including the character and setting of the text, and there is also a literature study from a feminist perspective. The results showed that Deborah succeeded in leading the Israelites to defeat the Canaanites from her religious side, which spread to her political and social side as a prophetess and then became the leader of the Israelites as a whole. God blessed Deborah and Jael in defeating the Canaanites, thus proving that women as leaders can succeed solely because of God's extension to them.Abstrak: Setiap organisasi mempunyai namanya seorang pemimpin, dan pemimpin dipercaya untuk memimpin anggotanya mencapai tujuan tertentu. Terkadang pemimpin masih dinodai dengan adanya kesenjangan sosial dari perspektif gender, bahwa laki-laki lebih tinggi dari perempuan. Fakta tersebut bisa dilihat dari beberapa gereja maupun organisasi sosial yang melarang perempuan menjadi pemimpin, terutama dalam narasi Alkitab baik dalam Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru dalam 1 Korintus 14:34. Oleh karena itu, Hakim-Hakim 4:1-23 mencoba untuk melihat bahwa adanya kesetaraan dalam kepemimpinan yang dilakukan oleh perempuan terkhususnya Debora, dan juga Yael dalam memimpin bangsa Israel mengalahkan bangsa Kanaan. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah kritik naratif teks Hakim-Hakim 4:1-23, yakni melihat alur narasi, termasuk karakter dan latar teks, dan juga ada studi pustaka dari perspektif feminis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Debora berhasil memimpin bangsa Israel mengalahkan bangsa Kanaan dari sisi religiusnya, yang menjalar kepada sisi politis dan sosialnya sebagai nabiah lalu menjadi pemimpin bangsa Israel seutuhnya. Allah memberkati Debora dan Yael dalam mengalahkan Kanaan, sehingga terbukti bahwa perempuan menjadi pemimpin bisa berhasil semata-mata karena perpanjangan tangan Allah kepadanya.

Authors: Gainau Markus S , Pentury Yolanti Wise
Published: January 2024

Abstract: The Code of Ethics for Christian Religious Education (PAK) serves as a guideline that directs efforts to create a work culture in alignment with the will of God. This research aims to elaborate the ethical code applied by PAK teachers and its impact on the work culture in the Sentani City environment. The methodology employed in this study was a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted by recording interviews with 12 PAK teachers in Sentani City and through observations at two Christian schools in the city, namely, Pengharapan Elementary School and Kononia Christian High School. The collected data was then processed using transcription techniques, where spoken text was transformed into written form. The subsequent process involved reduction, wherein relevant text was retained while irrelevant portions were discarded. The results of this reduction were then indexed and presented as data for analysis. The findings of this research indicate that the implementation of the ethical code has an impact on the work culture, encompassing values of integrity, professionalism, responsibility, and exemplary behavior. However, the culture of innovation remains underdeveloped among PAK teachers, primarily due to slow adaptation to information and communication technology. This has the potential to affect the competence and professional development of teachers.Abstrak: Kode Etik Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) berfungsi sebagai pedoman yang mengarahkan dalam upaya menciptakan budaya kerja yang sesuai dengan kehendak Tuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan kode etik yang diterapkan oleh guru-guru PAK dan dampaknya terhadap budaya kerja di lingkungan Kota Sentani. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan merekam wawancara dengan 12 guru PAK di Kota Sentani serta melakukan observasi di dua sekolah Kristen di kota tersebut, yaitu Sekolah Dasar Pengharapan dan SMA Kristen Kononia. Data yang terkumpul kemudian diproses dengan teknik transkripsi, di mana teks lisan diubah menjadi bentuk tertulis. Proses selanjutnya adalah reduksi, di mana teks yang relevan dipertahankan sedangkan yang tidak relevan dibuang. Hasil dari reduksi ini kemudian diindeks dan disajikan sebagai data yang akan dianalisis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kode etik berdampak pada budaya kerja yang mencakup nilai-nilai integritas, profesionalisme, tanggung jawab, dan keteladanan. Namun, budaya inovasi menjadi aspek yang kurang berkembang di kalangan guru PAK, terutama karena adaptasi terhadap teknologi informasi dan komunikasi yang berjalan lambat. Hal ini berpotensi memengaruhi kompetensi dan pengembangan kompetensi para guru
