Authors: Mulyono Tanto Trisno , Astono Rizky Andika Dwi
Published: September 2024

This study aims to interpret the conditions of bullying as depicted in the photobook "Bully", exploring the symbolic and aesthetic elements used to represent the psychological and emotional dimensions of bullying. Utilizing a qualitative, interpretative approach, the research employs visual analysis and symbolic interpretation to uncover the deeper meanings conveyed through the photobook's imagery. The analysis focuses on how visual elements such as lighting, composition, and perspective reflect the dynamics of power, fear, isolation, and resilience within the context of bullying. The study is grounded in the Social-Ecological Model and Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, which provide frameworks for understanding the multifaceted nature of bullying and the cognitive distortions experienced by both victims and perpetrators. Results reveal that shadows in the images symbolize the psychological distress and cognitive distortions faced by victims and bullies, while light represents hope, resilience, and the potential for cognitive and emotional recovery. The photobook effectively captures the complex interplay between individual experiences and social influences, illustrating how both victims and bullies are affected by and respond to their environments. The findings underscore the importance of addressing both psychological and social factors in bullying interventions and highlight the photobook's role as a powerful medium for visualizing and understanding these dynamics.
Inflation and Inflation Uncertainty in Pakistan
Authors: Saeed Kashif , Ilyas Sidra , Dilawar Sabira , Abbas Asad , Sheikh Muhammad Ramzan
Published: September 2024

This study estimates inflation and inflation uncertainty in Pakistan. To quantify the disparity in inflation levels, the average point is defined as the point at which positive and negative disruptions have an impact. The response to them can also influence the measures of positive and negative shocks in the fluctuation of inflation. The secondary data from 1983:Q1 to 2020:Q4 is derived from the IMF-IFS data series. The ARCH families of models are employed to calculate and analyze the inflation uncertainty in Pakistan. The ARCH and GARCH models capture the symmetric response of inflationary innovations. The Friedman-Ball hypothesis posits that inflation in the present day exacerbates the uncertainty surrounding inflation in the future. This investigation investigates this hypothesis and ascertains its validity for Pakistan.

Authors: Zhao Jinjiang , Zhang Guanwen
Published: September 2024

Aiming at the problems of low prediction accuracy and slow convergence speed of existing ball mill rolling bearing Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction models, an RUL prediction method using Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and Bidirectional Long and Short-term Memory (BiLSTM) is proposed. Firstly, the Savitzky-Golay (SG) filter is used to remove the interference of random noise in the original vibration signals; then the short-term features of the sequences are extracted using TCN and capture the long-term correlations in the data with the help of BiLSTM; finally, the attention mechanisms assign different weights to features in order to achieve the goal of being able to more accurately extract information about the health state of the device. Theoretical analysis and data validation demonstrate that the method improves the accuracy and adaptability of model series predictions, and the IEEE PHM 2012 dataset is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Authors: S. Ayuba Joseph , Abdullahi Musa , B. Iliya Patience
Published: September 2024

Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is one of the major causes of deaths and disabilities in tropical and subtropical countries especially in the continents of Asia and Africa. Report revealed that on average, 5-8 and about 3,000 cases of SBE are recorded daily and yearly respectively in northeast Nigeria which population are largely agriculturists. Thus, snakebite (SB) led to economy setback and slows down productivity among the workforce as a result of disabilities induced by SBE. Consequently, the revenue generation even including income facing declined. This paper proposes population-based mathematical model for studying the dynamic impacts of diagnosis and treatment of snakebite envenoming victims with anti-snake venom in a community. The model is rigorously analyzed using relevant techniques and theorems in dynamical systems. The model was validated using monthly reported data on snakebite envenoming from 2020–2022, collected from snakebite treatment and research hospital (STRH) Kaltungo in northeast Nigeria. The qualitative study revealed that the model has snakebite-envenoming-free and snakebite-envenoming-endemic equilibrium points. It is shown via the Lyapunov function in conjunction with the Lassale invariance principle that these two equilibrium points are globally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, numerical simulations of the model were carried out to investigate the impact of the diagnosis of snakebite envenoming victims and the treatment of the same on the burden of snakebite envenoming. The results of the simulations revealed that appropriate diagnosis and treatment of snakebite envenoming victims with anti-snake venom could significantly reduce the number of snakebite-induced deaths and disabilities. This work can serve as a framework for making policy and decision in addressing the issues of SBE in the public healthcares in the study region and beyond.

Redeeming the Horrors of Racial Suffering: The Political Christology of M. Shawn Copeland
Authors: Couturier David B.
Published: September 2024

Marilyn McCord Adams argumenta que la coherencia de la cristología en el siglo XXI requiere que las obras cristológicas aborden “los horrores”, los horrendos males que desafían la coherencia y nos dejan con profundos sentimientos de disgusto y repulsión. No es suficiente proporcionar justificaciones para excusar a Dios o racionalizar las intenciones de Dios. La cristología debe mostrar cómo Cristo vence los horrores. Este artículo explora la cristología política de la teóloga mujer afroamericana M. Shawn Copeland en busca de evidencia de cómo Cristo nos redime de los horrores del sufrimiento racial. El artículo proporciona una pedagogía para el reconocimiento del horror.
Sororidad y Cristología
Authors: Bedford Nancy Elizabeth
Published: September 2024

Desde el principio de su ministerio, Jesús y su evangelio fueron recibidos como buena noticia por mujeres que lo siguieron como discípulas y amigas. Él las consideró hermanas suyas. Las teologías dominantes demasiado a menudo han invisibilizado esta dimensión sororal de la cristología, que sin embargo resulta fundamental para evitar que la cristología se torne un discurso alejado del corazón del mensaje de Jesús. Se tomarán en cuenta paradigmáticamente los casos de Marta y María de Betania (hermanas en la carne), Macrina (hermana de Gregorio Niseno) y Juliana de Norwich y Margery Kempe, (hermanas en la fe) para acceder a la dimensión sororal de la cristología a la luz de una conceptualización feminista de la sororidad.
Abstract: From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus and his gospel were received as good news by women, who followed him as his disciples and friends. He considered them his sisters. Too often, dominant theologies have made this sororal dimension of Christology invisible, although it is essential to avoid Christology becoming a discourse distanced from the heart of the message of Jesus. The cases of Martha and Mary of Bethany (sisters in the flesh), Macrina (sister of Gregory of Nyssa), and Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe (sisters in the faith) are taken into account paradigmatically in order to accede to the sororal dimension of christology in the light of a feminist conception of sisterhood.
From Theory to Practice. Understanding the Incarnation as a Mode of Unio
Authors: Herbst Thomas
Published: September 2024

The Church, particularly within the Gospels, and also the Pauline corpus, has understood the evolving doctrine of the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity to be intimately connected in a way that praxis- a lived spirituality with tangible aspects- is constructed on the foundation of theoria, the underlying doctrinal rationale motivating choices taken by believers. This is amply attested to by scriptural as well as patristic authors and forms a core of the Church’s experience to modern times.
The Franciscan movement, beginning with the experience of the founder, Francis of Assisi, forms an important, even essential, part of this intricate story that extends from the thirteenth century to the present.

Pendidikan merupakan investasi penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia dan mengukur kemajuan masyarakat. Penerapan manajemen mutu pendidikan di sekolah dapat membantu mencapai hasil yang optimal dalam pembelajaran. Gangge (1997) mendefinisikan belajar sebagai perubahan perilaku yang berbeda antara kondisi sebelum dan sesudah proses pembelajaran. Di SMK Darunnajah, terdapat masalah dalam pemahaman materi oleh siswa yang perlu diatasi melalui penelitian tentang manajemen penjamin mutu untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, berlandaskan filsafat positivisme menurut Sugiono. Metode ini bertujuan menginterpretasikan fenomena dalam kondisi alami dengan peneliti sebagai instrumen utama. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive dan snowball, serta pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui triangulasi. Analisis data dilakukan secara induktif untuk menekankan makna daripada generalisasi. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran, SMK Darunnajah memerlukan kerjasama jangka panjang dengan lembaga terkait bidang TKJ (Teknologi Jaringan Komputer), bukan hanya selama praktik kerja industri (prakerin), tetapi untuk periode yang lebih lama, seperti lima tahun. Langkah-langkah yang diterapkan termasuk MGMP, Bimtek, Tafsify I’gdad, Ta’hil, In House Training (IHT) dan Khutbatul ‘Arsy, serta supervisi guru. Namun, ada beberapa faktor penghambat seperti rendahnya kesadaran siswa, jumlah mata pelajaran kejuruan yang sedikit, kurangnya dana, dan gangguan fasilitas. Kerja sama jangka panjang antara SMK Darunnajah dan lembaga terkait sangat penting untuk meningkatkan mutu pembelajaran. Faktor pendukung seperti tim pengawas dan evaluasi rutin berkontribusi pada perbaikan, sementara penghambat seperti kesadaran siswa yang rendah, keterbatasan fasilitas, dan dukungan dana yang masih bergantung pada pesantren perlu diatasi. Dengan implementasi langkah-langkah perbaikan dan dukungan berkelanjutan, kualitas pembelajaran di SMK Darunnajah diharapkan dapat meningkat secara signifikan.
Mind the Gab: Rødme og cyanose kan overses på højpigmenteret hud
Authors: Farid Højgaard Nielsen Ben
Published: September 2024

På sygeplejerskeuddannelsen trænes de studerende i at imødekomme borgeres grundlæggende behov, herunder at beskytte patientens hud. Internationale studier peger på, at selvom der er fotos af forskellige etniciteter i undervisningsmateriale, så mangler der fokus på hvordan højpigmenteret hud skal observeres for f.eks. rødme og cyanose. Den manglende opmærksomhed på hvordan højpigmenteret hud skal observeres, kan føre til alvorlig patientskade idet tegn på infektioner og cyanose kan overses. I artiklen er der fokus på et konkret redskab til at vurdere højpigementerede hudtoner og vanskeligheden ved at vurdere rødme som et parameter. Til slut vises et konkret eksempel på, hvordan begrebsrammen Fundamental of Care (FoC) kan anvendes i undervisningen, således at relationen til patienten og de pårørende er i fokus og den personcentrerede sygepleje kan styrkes. Nøgleord Højpigmenteret hud, Fundamental of Care, diversitet, sår, sygepleje, rødme, redskab til at vurdere hudtoner.

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically disrupted global supply chain management, significantly affecting Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). This study investigates the profound impacts of the pandemic on SMEs’ supply chain operations, highlighting key challenges such as inventory shortages, logistical bottlenecks, and increased costs. The research draws on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of how SMEs have adapted their supply chain strategies in response to the pandemic. Findings suggest that while SMEs were disproportionately affected by supply chain disruptions, those that swiftly adopted digital tools and diversified their supply chains were better positioned to mitigate risks. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on supply chain resilience, offering practical recommendations for SMEs to enhance their supply chain management in the face of future global disruptions.
Customer complaints as a source of customer-focused process improvement: A constructive case study

Published: September 2024

Process-based thinking commonly focuses on enhancing the efficiency of processes, while it is often criticized for not paying enough attention to the customer. This paper argues that customer complaint information can be used as a basis for customer-focused process improvement. Thus, it is not enough to make the complaining customer satisfied, but the complaint information should also feed back to the actual processes where the fault causing the complaint arose and where it can be removed. The empirical component of the study includes the development of a novel construction to utilize customer complaints for process improvements, which was implemented in a large Finnish enterprise operating in the wholesale logistics environment. The results show benefits at both operational and strategic levels.
