Published: July 2021

Mobile phones are increasingly becoming one of the indispensable accessories of professional and social daily life, although constant handling and usage in various environmental conditions makes it fomite. Thus, antibacterial activity of Psidium guajava leaf extract was evaluated against bacteria isolated from mobile phones within Umar Musa Yar’adua University, Katsina community. A total of sixty (60) mobile phones were randomly swabbed, twenty (20) each, from hawkers, students, and staff of the University community. These were used as candidates for isolation of bacterial contaminants using standard protocols. Variable concentrations (500mg/ml, 300mg/ml and 100mg/ml) of aqueous extract of the Psidium guajava were prepared and tested against mobile phones bacterial isolates using agar well diffusion method. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, tannins and terpenoids. Staphylococcus aureus (39.6%), Escherichia coli (29.7%), Klebsiella sp. (18.8%), Proteus sp. (8.3%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4.2%) were the bacterial contaminants isolated and identified from the mobile phones. Aqueous leaf extract of the plant displayed promising antibacterial activity at 500mg/ml against all the isolates, with average zones of inhibition of 25.0 mm for S. aureus, Proteus sp., P. aeroginosa and 24mm, 6.0mm for E. coli and Klebsiella sp. respectively. The use of Psidium guajava leaf extract as candidate for production of antibacterial agent which can be used to disinfect mobile handsets is suggested.

Published: July 2021

Cancer is a public health concern amongst millions of humans and claims hundreds of lives every year. The maximum worry-inducing
side effect of cancer treatment is nausea and vomiting. Therefore, stopping and managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and
vomiting is an important part of a cancer patient’s treatment plan. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and quality of life provided
by two commonly used antiemetic regimens in the management and prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
(CINV) in cancer patients. We assessed patient-reported nausea, vomiting, use of rescue medication, and Functional Living IndexEmesis (FLIE) questionnaire results, and used them as parameters to make comparisons. We also examined the percentage of patients showing complete response (CR; no emesis and non-use of rescue antiemetics), and the impact of CINV on patient’s daily life during the acute and delayed phases. The results show that the complete response is achieved by 26 patients in group-B and 18 patients in group-A, from the total 60 patients, while the FLIE scores indicated better quality of life is maintained in group-B (76.6%). In the study, the predominance of Netupitant and Palonosetron regimen to Ondansetron was demonstrated.

Published: July 2021

A disruption in the equilibrium between the generation of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defense enzymes is referred to as
oxidative stress. In the present study, we planned to identify the hepatoprotective effect of Phyllanthus amarus alkaloid rich fraction
in wistar strain albino male rats. The hepatic damage was induced by the D-galactosamine and ameliorative effect was tested with
alkaloid rich fraction of P. amarus by measuring oxidative stress markers such as G6PDH, LDH, SDH, MDH and GDH in the liver tissue. Activity levels of G6PDH, SDH, MDH and GDH were significantly decreased in D-galactosamine induced hepatitis rats when compare to normal control rat group, while their activities were significantly increased in hepatitis rat group that supplemented with alkaloid rich fraction of P. amarus. In contrast, LDH enzyme activity of liver was significantly increased in the hepatitis rat group when compare to normal control rats, while its activity was significantly decreased in hepatitis rats treated with alkaloid fraction. In conclusion, it is very clear that alkaloid fraction of P. amarus has hepatoprotective property with respect of decreasing oxidative stress by regulating oxidative stress marker enzymes. The isolation and identification of specific alkaloid compounds with hepatoprotective properties and anti-oxidative stress will require much further research.

Authors: Aliyanto Deky Nofa
Published: July 2021

SKB 2 Menteri concerning the Establishment of House of Worship is stipulated on March 21, 2006, by the Minister of Religion and Minister of Home Affairs. Since its establishment, there are some churches affected by the regulations. This study attempts to construct the church's current attitude towards this reality based on church history in 30-500 AD. This study uses a qualitative approach with interactive analysis, namely data collection, data presentation, and data reduction, to draw a conclusion. The results of the study include: based on history, the church today must view the Joint Ministerial Decree on the Establishment of Houses of Worship as regulations aimed at maintaining tolerance among religious communities in Indonesia. However, it was found that this regulation was used by people or persons who were not responsible for suppressing the existence of some churches in Indonesia. Reflecting on history, today's church should make the challenge a stepping stone to experience the quality of faith growth in the congregation. The church also has the right to struggle through legal channels as stipulated in the law. Whatever the outcome, the church must guard against being involved in anarchic actions. SKB 2 Menteri Tentang Pendirian Rumah Ibadah ditetapkan pada tanggal 21 Maret 2006 oleh Menteri Agama dan Menteri Dalam Negeri. Sejak ditetapkan, terdapat sebagian gereja yang terdampak regulasi peraturan itu. Penelitian ini berupaya membangun sikap gereja masa kini terhadap realitas ini berdasarkan sejarah gereja tahun 30-500 M. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisa interaktif yaitu penggumpulan data, penyajian data, reduksi data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian mencakup: berdasarkan sejarah, gereja masa kini harus memandang SKB 2 Menteri Tentang Pendirian Rumah Ibadah sebagai peraturan yang bertujuan menjaga toleransi antar umat beragama di Indonesia. Kendatipun demikian, ditemukan bahwa peraturan ini dimanfaatkan oleh orang-orang atau oknum yang tidak bertanggung jawab untuk menekan eksistensi sebagian gereja di Indonesia. Berkaca dari sejarah, hendaknya gereja masa kini menjadikan tantangan tersebut sebagai batu loncatan untuk mengalami kualitas pertumbuhan iman jemaat. Meskipun demikian, gereja juga memiliki hak untuk berjuang melalui jalur hukum sebagaimana telah diatur dalam undang-undang. Apapun hasilnya gereja harus menjaga diri supaya tidak terlibat aksi anarkis.

Authors: Manurung Kosma
Published: July 2021

According to Psalm 23, to King David, God was the shepherd. In the New Testament, the Lord Jesus Himself stated that He was the good shepherd. Another story that the Bible writes about is how God shepherded the Israelites out of Egypt to the Promised Land for forty years. This research article aims to elaborate on the Pentecostal theological view of the meaning of God as a shepherd. The methodology used in this research is text analysis and literature review. Based on the research results of this article, God as a shepherd is interpreted as God’s leadership in the life of the believer, where God leads the believer to enter into His perfect plan. God as shepherd also means that there is God’s real protection and care for believers. God shepherds believers because it is motivated by His love for believers who will not bear to let believers walk alone. Menurut Mazmur 23, bagi raja Daud, Tuhan itu adalah gembalanya. Di Perjanjian Baru Tuhan Yesus sendiri menyatakan bahwa Dia adalah gembala yang baik. Cerita lainnya yang Alkitab tulis adalah bagaimana selama empat puluh tahun Allah menggembalakan bangsa Israel keluar dari Mesir menuju tanah Perjanjian. Penelitian artikel ini bertujuan menjabarkan pandangan teologi Pentakosta memaknai Allah sebagai gembala. Adapun metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis teks dan kajian literatur. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian artikel ini Allah sebagai gembala dimaknai berupa pimpinan Allah dalam kehidupan orang percaya dimana Allah memimpin orang percaya untuk masuk dalam rencana-Nya yang sempurna. Allah sebagai gembala juga berarti ada perlindungan dan pemeliharaan Allah yang nyata bagi orang percaya. Allah menggembalakan orang percaya karena didorong oleh cinta kasih-Nya pada orang percaya yang tidak akan tega membiarkan orang percaya berjalan sendiri.
STUDI EKSPLANATORI DAN KONFIRMATORI TENTANG PENYEMBAH YANG BENAR BERDASARKAN YOHANES 4:1-26 DI KALANGAN JEMAAT ARAS GEREJA NASIONAL SE-KOTA JEMBER
Authors: Handoko Yudi , Uriptiningsih Ana Lestari
Published: July 2021

By and large, human beings are worshiping creatures (homo adorance). Hence, there is a need for human beings to worship an entity greater and more prominent than themselves. The need is more apparent in religious communities. Religious persons identify such an entity as GOD/ALLAH. However, in its development, practices of worship are no longer centered on GOD/ALLAH. For example, the essence of worship does not conform to the will of God as written in John 4:1-26. This study will analyze the implementation of true worship according to John 4:1-26 in mainstream churches in Jember. It will use explanatory and confirmatory survey methods, which combine the literature survey and interpretation of 150 samples. The result highly suggests that the mainstream churches in Jember have been implementing the worship in spirit and truth. Out of two dimensions implied by John 4:1-26, the most effective one is worship in spirit. In addition, the most significant category influencing true worship is service. Secara umum, manusia adalah makhluk penyembah (homo adorance).  Dalam diri manusia secara universal terdapat kebutuhan untuk menyembah sesuatu yang diyakini lebih besar dan tinggi dari dirinya.  Kebutuhan ini semakin nyata dalam diri umat beragama.  Manusia beragama menyebut sosok atau oknum yang lebih besar dan tinggi dari dirinya sebagai TUHAN/ALLAH. Dalam perkembanganya, penyembahan melenceng dan tidak lagi berpusat pada TUHAN/ALLAH. Hakikat ibadah pun tidak lagi sesuai dengan yang dikehendaki Allah dalam Yohanes 4:1-26. Studi ini akan meneliti implementasi penyembahan yang benar berdasarkan Yoh. 4:1-26 di Aras Gereja Nasional se-kota Jember. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode survei eksplanatori dan konfirmatori melalui studi kepustakaan sebagai landasan teori dan angket pernyataan terhadap 150 sampel dari kalangan jemaat Aras Gereja Nasional se-Kota Jember. Hasilnya, ditemukan bahwa Gereja Nasional se-kota Jember telah melakukan penyembahan dalam roh dan kebenaran dengan perolehan angka yang tinggi. Dari dua dimensi yang termaktub dalam Yohanes 4:1-26 diperoleh bahwa dimensi yang paling memengaruhi tingkat implementasi penyembah yang benar di kalangan jemaat Aras Gereja Nasional se-kota Jember adalah “Penyembah Dalam Roh” dan kategori yang paling berpengaruh terhadap tingkat implementasi penyembah yang benar berdasarkan Yohanes 4:1-26 di kalangan jemaat Aras Gereja Nasional se-kota Jember adalah kategori latar belakang “Jenis Pelayanan”.

Authors: Sánchez Aguilar Raúl , Bascaran Virto Natalia , Díaz Martín Silvia , Marín Díaz Marta , Rodríguez Cuadrado Sara
Published: July 2021

La muerte es un suceso natural al que todas las personas se enfrentan alguna vez en la vida. Por ello, resulta fundamental trabajar el duelo y la muerte desde las etapas más tempranas. La propuesta de intervención escolar presentada parte de una exhaustiva revisión del currículo oficial español de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria, el cual no aborda el tema del duelo (De la Herrán, Rodríguez y De Miguel, 2019) y se sustenta en una amplia revisión bibliográfica. Esta propuesta de trabajo transversal a partir de la pedagogía de la muerte tiene como objetivo principal formar al alumnado de tres a doce años y a sus familias con relación al tema del duelo, la conciencia de finitud y las situaciones de pérdida. Se compone de distintas sesiones de trabajo cooperativo dirigidas por el profesorado: sesiones curriculares y extracurriculares de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria, sesiones mixtas con alumnado de Infantil y Primaria y sesiones extraescolares con la participación de las familias. La temporalización abarcaría todo un año escolar, siendo óptima la prórroga del plan a lo largo de los cursos para garantizar la formación integral del alumnado a lo largo de toda su escolarización. La implantación de este plan de intervención, acompañado de la pertinente formación docente, resulta esencial para permitir al alumnado comprender y disfrutar la vida y aceptar la pérdida gracias a la pedagogía de la muerte en la escuela (De la Herrán y Cortina, 2006).

Authors: De La Hoz Suárez Aminta , Pacheco Ruíz Carlos , Cantillo Padrón Julio
Published: July 2021

El desarrollo de todo negocio lleva implícito un conjunto de riesgos que pudiesen afectar en diferentes grados a la operatividad empresarial, sin embargo, particularmente los riesgos de carácter financieros es uno de los más temidos, por esa razón la presente investigación se centra en describir las causales de exposición a riesgos financieros de empresas importadoras y comercializadoras de motores para vehículos de la ciudad de Maracaibo, Venezuela. Metodológicamente es un estudio descriptivo, de campo por tener acceso a las únicas tres grandes entidades que se dedican a la naturaleza de negocio descrita, destacándose el estudio no experimental por no manipular la variable objeto de estudio. Se encontró que las causales prevalecientes son no sistemáticas y afectan la generación de beneficios económicos esperados que inciden en la capacidad de obtener mejores activos para sustentar su liquidez, dificultándose el otorgamiento de crédito para no debilitar el capital. Asimismo, se enfrentan a causas sistemáticas producto de acatar políticas macroeconómicas impuestas por el estado venezolano, originándose cambios en el mercado, y en ocasiones pérdidas por siniestros. Por tal razón, se sugiere tomar decisiones financieras inteligentes en la medida que los factores externos o causales sistemáticas existentes lo permitan, para mantener la operatividad de negocios a pesar de la inestabilidad económica a la que se enfrenta este sector de actividad.
Apertura comercial, inversión doméstica y crecimiento económico en Ecuador. Investigación empírica 1950-2019
Authors: Salazar Olives Gladys
Published: July 2021

La teoría del crecimiento ha dedicado atención a la inversión doméstica y a la apertura comercial de las economías con el resto del mundo como factores claves para explicar la evolución del crecimiento. El objetivo principal de este trabajo consiste en analizar la relación de cointegración, la dinámica de corto y largo plazo y los vínculos causales entre la apertura comercial, la inversión doméstica y el crecimiento económico en el Ecuador en el período 1950-2019. El trabajo es de nivel explicativo con diseño de investigación empírica. Se presenta un modelo empírico de crecimiento estimado por medio del enfoque de prueba de límites de rezago distribuido autorregresivo (ARDL) y la prueba de causalidad de Granger. Los resultados hallados indican que existe una relación de cointegración a largo plazo entre inversión, apertura y crecimiento, según la prueba de límites de ARDL, en el Ecuador. La inversión y la apertura tienen un impacto positivo y significativo sobre el ingreso y el crecimiento, a corto y largo plazo. No obstante, el análisis de causalidad de Granger indicó un proceso unidireccional que va de la apertura hacia la inversión y el ingreso, mientras que no se pudo rechazar la hipótesis de no causalidad en ambas direcciones entre inversión y crecimiento. Se concluye que, como consecuencia, el análisis implica que esta economía debe continuar sus esfuerzos para una mayor apertura hacia los mercados internacionales, tanto vía exportaciones como a través de las importaciones.
