Dunia anak adalah dunia bermain, semua aktifitas keseharian anak-anak sebagian besar dihabiskan untuk bermain, dengan cara bermain anak-anak dapat menjelajahi lingkunganya dan belajar mengembangkan kompetensi yang dimilikinya. Merebaknya virus Covid-19 memang memberi dampak yang sangat signifikan bagi kehidupan manusia tidak kecuali aspek pendidikan anak usia dini. Pendidikan anak usia dini yang semula dilakukan dengan tatap muka berubah menjadi jarak jauh, pendidikan yang semula dilakukan secara bersama-sama kini dilakukan secara mandiri di rumah masing-masing. Intinya banyak terjadi perubahan di dunia pendidikan anak usia dini bahkan mungkin tidak pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya termasuk aspek bermain anak yang menimbulkan dampak psikis dan sosial motorik bagi tumbuh kembang anak. Kebijakan pembelajaran jarak jauh yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah pun tidak mampu mengatasi permasalah pendidikan anak usia dini yang merupakan generasi penerus bangsa, meskipun akses internet telah tersedia, pembelajaran jarak jauh secara daring masih menyimpan tantangan dan belum mampu menjawab kebutuhan bermain anak usia dini. Tantangan serupa pun dihadapi oleh orang tua yang harus beradaptasi dengan lingkungan pembelajaran anak di rumah. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pendidikan anak usia dini serta menunjang proses pembelajaran anak diperlukan ruang belajar yang mendukung dan membuat anak bersemangat dalam bermain di masa pandemi. Peran lingkungan pembelajaran dengan mengatur setting ruang yang cocok untuk aktifitas bermain anak perlu untuk di kaji lebih dalam.

Published: January 2022

Of the seventeen onion varieties evaluated for assessment of variability in mean performance, variances, heritability and genetic advance, (L-883 and Bhima Shweta) were most promising genotypes in respect of gross and marketable bulb yield, minimum number of bolters, rotten and multi-centred bulbs, bulb weight, equatorial bulb diameter, total soluble solids, number of leaves per plant and earliness in maturity. High values of genetic and phenotypic for gross and marketable bulb yield, average bulb weight, days to 70% neck fall and plant height indicated more opportunity of selection for these traits. High genetic advance as percentage of mean coupled with high heritability was observed for gross and marketable bulb yield and average bulb weight. Therefore, significant improvement could be expected through selection for these traits.
Nutmeg - Origin, diversity, distribution and history
Authors: Sasikumar B.
Published: January 2022

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) a small holder’s crop, with 3500 years of antiquity originated in the Moluccas, Indonesia, is now grown in about 12 countries including some secondary centres of domestication. Centres of domestication overlap the centre of origin in nutmeg. Out of about 175 species in the genus, only five are economically important. Besides species diversity and cultivar diversity, ecosystem diversity is also a component of biodiversity of the genus. The genus is represented by six species including four endemic species and subspecies each in India. A comprehensive work on Indian Myristica is pertinent. The history of the spice is mired in bloody wars, piracies, privateers, clandestine collection trips, wanton felling of the heirloom trees besides inadvertent specimen identity, inaccurate chronology and a treaty of land swap. Though French and British colonial rulers took interest in popularising nutmeg in their colonies albeit for economic gains, the role of French was pivotal. The package of practices of nutmeg (Colonial Horticulture) in the new French colonies were a complex process of creolizing the expertise borrowed from the native people of the Moluccas with the horticultural knowledge of the colonists, traders, settlers, slaves and other local residents. Though nutmeg, a perennial tree of about 100 years of life span, has only about 300 years of domestication history in the country, the cultivar diversity is amazing as exemplified by the high frequency of farmer’s varieties. The nutmeg population of the country also exhibits good phenotypic plasticity as demonstrated by leaky dioecy. While the transnational spread of nutmeg is a legacy of colonial rulers, the settlers mainly Christians, are credited with the intrastate spread of nutmeg in Kerala, the major area of production in India. History of nutmeg is still in an emerging phase and there are gaps in our understanding.

Published: January 2022

Curcuma longa (Turmeric) is an important medicinal condiment, which is known for its unique phytochemicals and biological activities. Seven turmeric powder samples obtained from five different locations of Almora District, Uttarakhand were compared for their nutraceutical potential in terms of proximate composition, phytochemical constituents such as phenolics and flavonoids, along with their antioxidant potential, curcumin, minerals etc. The commercial brand was taken for comparison purposes. Total fat was found highest in Jamradi sample (10.07%) while lowest was found in commercial sample (2.72%). The curcumin (5.13%), total phenolic (2.12 mg GAE 100 mg-1 DW) and flavonoid contents (5.43 mg QE 100 mg-1 DW) were highest in the Tani turmeric sample. DPPH activity of Dharad and Market samples were quite comparable (0.24 mg AAE 100 mg-1 DW), and FRAP activity was highest for Hawalbagh sample (0.44 mg AAE 100 mg-1 DW). Total fat, total moisture, phytic acid and oxalate content were identified as main factors causing difference among the turmeric samples.
Pastoral Ministry from the Margins: Pastors’ Wives in Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe
Authors: Sande Nomatter , Maforo Byron
Published: January 2022

This study researched pastors’ wives from the Apostolic Faith Church Mission in Zimbabwe as a case study to understand gender-sensitive leadership models in African Pentecostal churches. Women are the majority in both Apostolic Faith Missions and all the churches, hence the focus of pastoral ministry on women. The pastors’ wives’ contributions to the pastoral ministry are hardly told, as effective ministry is accredited to male leadership. Pastors’ wives are not “ordained to the ministry; they are regarded as helpers of their spouses who received a calling to ministry.” In reality, pastors’ wives bear enormous responsibility for the church by contributing financial and human resources to the ministry. Pastors’ wives are not trained; hence, they employ “experiential theology” to meet the needs of their fellow women. The overarching aim of this study was to explore the contribution of pastors’ wives to pastoral ministry in the African Pentecostal churches. The study used “pastoral ministry” as a conceptual framework. The study employed a qualitative methodology, and data were gathered through in-depth interviews. The study concludes that pastors’ wives’ pastoral ministry is a useful tool for church growth and should not operate from the margins.
Funnel Representation of Catholic Women in Church Councils
Authors: Dube Edmore
Published: January 2022

This article problematises the low uptake of higher leadership roles by guild women of the Roman Catholic Church in Zimbabwe. This is despite the fact that they are “over-represented” in the small Christian communities, which they almost “own.” They far outnumber men at the funnel base of the organisation, though they are grossly outnumbered by males from the parish council to national levels. Those that make it to higher positions in the church committees, are often relegated to clerical portfolios. What is intriguing, is the fact that the small Christian communities, which have meticulously absorbed more women in all lay ranks, are the foundational bases of the church. They are the praxis units exposing Catholic dogmas to the community; during celebrations and bereavements, in the absence of the top brass mainly comprised of their male counterparts. They are the conduits that help the catechumens live their faith, and the veins and arteries that feed the Catholic establishment with resources. A similar scenario of firm ecclesiastical control has been noted regarding the same sodality in South Africa. The Manyano/Ruwadzano sodality of the women of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Southern Africa (used as a control group for the research study that directed this article), presented an equally low uptake of leadership posts, despite the existence of women clergy. The disabling institutions were noted as the guild constitutions crafted or passed by male clergy against women, fear of scandal, inculturation and gender. The study recommends the fulfilment of church documents advocating parity between men and women in the election of office bearers. This article acknowledges the life work and career of the late Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel, who dedicated all of her remarkable talents to promote gender-equality and social justice.
Rethinking Methods to Curb Gender Discrimination in Church Leadership: The Case of Pentecostal Churches in Zimbabwe
Authors: Musvota Charity
Published: January 2022

The patriarchal structure that has pervaded and replicated itself, not only in the society but also in the church, has raised questions on how the church can get out of this quagmire. Many proposals have been propounded from different angles on the topic in question, and this paper seeks to add a voice to the discourse. The paper assesses the effectiveness of methods used in Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe to address and curb gender discrimination. The research concludes that although Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe have made concerted efforts to curb gender inequality in the church, the methods used have not been able to effectively mitigate the gender imbalance that previously existed. The research that directed this article was grounded on the Pentecostal hermeneutics theory as well as the African feminist theory. This article acknowledges the valuable inputs of the late Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel, who dedicated her work to the cause of gender inclusiveness and the eradication of social injustices. Her vast contribution, as an academic and minister in the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA), reverberated throughout the theological and academic milieu in southern Africa, and indeed in the world. The researcher used a qualitative approach as well as interviews and participant observation to gather data, together with secondary data from published books and journals. The study recommends educating people about the importance of gender balance and the inclusion of gender, a message of inclusion and new practices and traditions, and the creation of a structure for change. Roadmaps and paths for change are to be built. The research will be beneficial to political, social, economic and religious systems to alter the discrepancies in gender discrimination that are propelled by beliefs, a mind-set and culture proponents that seem to derail the value and contribution of women.
In Search of the Public Theologian: Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel’s Womanist Public Engagement
Authors: Thyssen Ashwin , Davis Sheurl
Published: January 2022

Academic theology remains male dominated, both in bodies present and in the research methodologies employed. It is a commonplace to refer to Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel in terms of a foundationally Reformed theologian and church polity specialist. This is often done without adequate attention to the important role that gender played both in her biography and teaching. There is a need to centre our focus on the matter of gender to see how this had influenced her life’s work. The roles fulfilled by Plaatjies-Van Huffel were as an African feminist, decolonial thinker, ecumenist and Reformed theologian. It may be helpful, when considering her life’s work, to draw these orientations together through a study of her as a public theologian. An exploration into the contours of her intellectual life may thus be helpful for both understanding the life and work of Plaatjies-Van Huffel, and in analysing the continued development of public theology as an intellectual discipline. Such an analysis, nevertheless, must account for her centring of a particular gender politics in the public sphere as a black woman. Alice Walker offers a definition for “the womanist”: “A black feminist or feminist of colour … Appreciates and prefers women’s culture, women’s emotional flexibility (values tears as natural counterbalance of laughter), and women’s strength … Committed to survival and wholeness of entire people, male and female.” Plaatjies-Van Huffel embodied this definition by working for unity, reconciliation and justice in the three publics. How may a womanist and public theological reading of Plaatjies-Van Huffel enrich our understanding of her? This article employs womanist theory as a lens through which to read and understand Plaatjies-Van Huffel as a public theologian.
The Contribution of Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel to the Writing of Church Historiography in South Africa
Authors: Philander Nathan
Published: January 2022

Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel introduced a fresh method of historical research that enables analysis from specific perspectives. She contended that church historians should pursue not only the meaning of authors’ observable written intentions, but rather, when reading texts, distinguish between what is written and what is not written. In this way, the reading of the text provides a coherent structure. Hence, church historians should think from the framework of the decentralisation of the subject and should consequently reject the idea of a self-governing subject. She refined some of Foucault’s ideas, applied them to our context and established a framework for historical research by church historians. When this is applied to church history, the emphasis should fall on power as knowledge, as it is traditionally transferred in writing.
Crossing the Lines of Race and Gender: The Quarrel on the Integration of the First Black Dominican Sisters in Natal
Authors: Denis Philippe
Published: January 2022

Black women expressed the desire to enter religious life in a Dominican Congregation of the Catholic Church of Natal for the first time in 1923. Since all the sisters of the two congregations they wanted to join (initially the Dominican Sisters of Oakford and, later on, the Dominican Sisters of Newcastle) were white, the question was raised of how the black candidates would relate to white sisters. Should they be fully incorporated into the congregation, simply attached to it or kept apart in an independent congregation of black sisters? The decision was in the hands of the women leading these congregations, of the local bishop and of the apostolic delegate sent by Rome to oversee the life of the church. This paper looks at the manner in which race and gender shaped the history of the black sisters in the Dominican Congregations of Oakford, Newcastle and eventually Montebello in inter-war Natal. It argues that, for different reasons and according to different timeframes, the leadership of the Congregations of Oakford and Newcastle ended up consenting to a model of segregation under the control of white sisters. In the Congregation of Newcastle, at least, the black sisters themselves favoured integration.
Justice through Virtuous Leadership and Decision-making. The Witness that was Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel
Authors: Koopman N N
Published: January 2022

This essay honours Mary-Anne Elizabeth Plaatjies-Van Huffel. It focuses on her role as a leader and decision-maker. The essay discusses the notion of virtuous decision-making. A brief description is offered of the notion of virtue. Thereafter, the seven virtues, faith, hope, love, wisdom, moderation, fortitude and justice are discussed. Justice is portrayed as the Summum Bonum, the supreme good and ultimate goal. In seeking justice in church and in the world, Plaatjies-Van Huffel was nurtured by the contents of her faith, the Triune God and those who belong to God; by realistic, resilient and responsive hope; by the excellence of love; by wisdom, sensitive intuition, sound judgement, careful discernment; by moderation and temperance; and by the fortitude and courage to make an unfamous decision and to implement it. In her person and example as a pastor, academic and leader, Plaatjies-Van Huffel verifies the notion of virtuous leadership and decision-making.

Queering the Ecclesia: Exploring “Institutional Culture” as a Path toward a Socially Just Church
Authors: Robertson Megan , Nadar Sarojini
Published: January 2022

Ecclesiological research on queer sexuality in South Africa has often been restricted to studying heteronormative church policies and doctrines as well as their implementation. This has confined possibilities of transforming church into a specifically queer affirming and more generally socially just space, to a matter of policy change. Similarly, transformation in higher education research in South Africa previously adopted a “transformation by numbers” approach centred on policy change. However, urgent calls to decolonise higher education has highlighted the limits of this “inclusive” approach and shifted the field’s focus to an approach that interrogates the “institutional culture” of organisations to understand the ways in which such cultures might epistemologically and functionally preclude inclusion. Drawing on the case study of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA), this paper proposes the extension and appropriation of the concept of “institutional culture” as it is used within higher education research for ecclesiological research, in order to expand queer possibilities of being a more socially just church.
James Anta: Missionary, Martyr and unsung Hero of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Zimbabwe
Authors: Mujinga Martin
Published: January 2022

The history of Wesleyan Methodism in Zimbabwe speaks loudly about the role played by the first missionaries. Most scholars credit these missionaries for the sacrifices they made. However, the expansion of the mission was largely the work of teacher-evangelists from South Africa. Among them were Modumedi Moleli and James Anta. Moleli and Anta were martyred in Mashonaland during the Shona uprising of 1896–1897. Although the two evangelists came to Zimbabwe during the same period and were killed in the same epoch through the same type of brutality, Moleli received scholarly attention and church recognition. On the one hand, Brandon Graaf dedicated a book to Moleli and on the other hand, the church named a school after him. Moleli died in Mashonaland East and was buried at Nenguwo (now Waddilove) Training Institute, whereas the school in his honour is located in Mashonaland West, where James Anta was killed. In contrast, there is neither a building nor scholarly work dedicated to Anta. This paper argues that, although Anta’s name is mentioned in the Wesleyan Methodist literature, there is deliberately no attempt to honour his martyrdom as central in the growth of Methodism in Zimbabwe. By using qualitative research methodology, the paper challenges the Wesleyan Methodist Church to reconstruct its ecclesiastical history to honour Anta, who came to Zimbabwe as a missionary in his own right. The paper concludes by arguing that the historiography of Methodism in Zimbabwe is incomplete without acknowledging Anta as a missionary, evangelist and martyr; and yet he remains an unsung hero.
John William Colenso’s Collection of Psalms and Hymns for St Peter’s Cathedral, Pietermaritzburg: Context, Analysis and Christological Implications
Authors: Bethke Andrew-John
Published: January 2022

In 1866, Bishop John William Colenso published a collection of hymns which he compiled for use at St Peter’s Cathedral in Pietermaritzburg. He had recently returned to Natal from England after defending himself in the legal debates which surrounded his status as Bishop of Natal. His controversial commentaries on Romans and the Pentateuch had been the catalyst of his denouncement by his metropolitan bishop, Robert Gray. While Colenso had been in England, Gray had visited the Diocese of Natal. While there, he introduced the recently published Hymns Ancient and Modern to parish churches. Colenso was a strong critic of Hymns Ancient and Modern, mainly on account of its ritualist tendencies, and he was annoyed to find that Gray had introduced the book in his absence. In response, he created a collection of hymns, a number of which he edited in order to conform to his evolving Christology. The collection sparked something of a media frenzy both in Natal and Britain, so much so that it was still being discussed four years after Colenso’s death. This article provides the historical context of the collection and its subsequent revisions; an analysis of its contents, paying special attention to hymns that were modified in some way; and a critique of the letters and reviews the collection received in the press. The article suggests that Colenso’s notoriety ensured that the collection received far more attention than it warranted. In essence, it served as a proxy battle ground for deeper concerns about the impact of biblical criticism on Christology.

Objetivo: Realizar a comparação do perfil epidemiológico da Tuberculose (TB) no Estado do Pará, fazendo uma comparação da doença em momentos distintos, antes e após o surgimento da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave (SARS-COV-2). Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, realizado pelo levantamento de dados do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), referente a casos de TB no cenário pré e pós Covid-19 (2016 a 2021). Resultados: Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) o Brasil consta entre os 20 países com as mais altas incidências por casos absolutos de TB do mundo, o Pará apresenta uma média anual de 4.166 casos de tuberculose, estar relacionado a questões no desenvolvimento social, precariedade na saúde; deficiência da gestão pública, que limitam as ações de prevenção, por consequência, tem-se aumento dos casos da doença. Em 2020, observou-se uma queda de 16% na notificação de casos novos em comparação a 2019. Esses números podem ser explicados, pelas medidas preventivas adotadas durante a pandemia. Conclusão: O estado do Pará apesar das adversidades sociais e econômicas tem demostrado redução nos índices da TB e do novo coronavírus, segundo os boletins epidemiológicos, isso pode estar ligado as medidas de distanciamento social.
Unusual Timeline of Nivolumab-induced Vitiligo in a Patient with Melanoma
Authors: Ahatov Renat , Good Allison , Ross Lindy
Published: January 2022

Vitiligo, manifested by skin hypopigmentation, is an autoimmune disorder of the skin due to the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes. Nivolumab, which is a programmed cell death–1 receptor inhibitor, is a well-known therapy for melanoma. Nivolumab-induced vitiligo has been described in literature, explained by destruction of non-cancerous melanocytes. This is considered a favorable response, due to a correlated stronger immune response against tumor cells. The average onset of the vitiligo is reported to be 5.2 months after starting the therapy, with a maximum reported onset being 9 months. We present a 52-year-old male patient whose initial vitiligo presentation occurred a year after starting the therapy and has continued for months after concluding Nivolumab therapy.

Description du sujet. À Lubumbashi, la croissance spatiale urbaine rapide (plus de 5 % par an) et non planifiée concourt à des changements importants de l’occupation du sol, en particulier autour des sites miniers où de fortes concentrations de métaux lourds dans les sols présentent d’énormes conséquences environnementales et sanitaires. Objectifs. La présente étude vise à évaluer le processus d’anthropisation des paysages autour des sites miniers de la ville de Lubumbashi de 1989 à 2014. Méthode. À partir de l’approche cartographique couplée aux outils d’analyse paysagère, les tendances évolutives de l’occupation du sol ont été quantifiées à travers la proportion des classes dans des zones tampons comprises entre 0-500 m, 500-1 000 m, 1 000-1 500 m, 1 500-2 000 m et 2 000-2 500 m des sites miniers. Résultats. La périphérie des sites miniers a enregistré une expansion rapide du bâti, suivie d’une régression des sols nus et de la végétation, essentiellement lors de la période qui a suivi la libéralisation du secteur minier en 2002. Cet effet est nettement plus marqué autour des sites miniers urbains. Ces perturbations, qui sont dues à la croissance démographique rapide, s’amplifient avec le temps et sont perceptibles au sein de toutes les classes de distance aux sites miniers. Conclusions. L’anthropisation des paysages autour des sites miniers pourrait mener à une saturation foncière susceptible d’amplifier la dégradation environnementale et l’exposition humaine aux métaux lourds.
Advantages and Limitations of Hydrogen Peroxide for Direct Oxidation of Methane to Methanol at Mono-Copper Active Sites in Cu-Exchanged Zeolites
Authors: Cheng Lu , Chen Xuning , Hu P. , Cao Xiaoming
Published: January 2022

The oxidant is a crucial factor affecting the performance of direct oxidation of methane to methanol (DMTM). It is still extremely challenging to realize one-pot DMTM using dioxygen. So far, hydrogen peroxide is still the most frequently reported green oxidant for DMTM with high selectivity of methanol. Aiming to achieve insights into the influence of oxidants on the DMTM performance and to improve catalysts, we computationally investigated the reaction mechanisms of DMTM using hydrogen peroxide at mono-copper sites in three kinds of Cu-exchanged zeolites with different sizes of the micropores. We identified the common advantage and limitations of hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. In contrast to molecular oxygen, the O-O bond of hydrogen peroxide could be easily broken to produce reactive surface oxygen species, enabling the facile C-H bond activation of methane at a lower temperature. However, the radical-like mechanism for the C-H bond activation in DMTM using hydrogen peroxide makes the C-H bond breaking of methanol ineluctably superior to methane. This leads to the inevitable trade-off between selectivity and activity for DMTM. Moreover, the lower O-H bonding energy of hydrogen peroxide would also result in the significant self-decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Despite the existence of these bottlenecks, the kinetic analysis manifests that it is still promising to improve catalysts to boost the performance of DMTM using hydrogen peroxide.

Published: January 2022

Weekend effect is a form of inefficiency that makes stock returns are not random (predictable) and repetitive which is against the efficient market theory by Fama (1991). This study aims to encourage stock investor knowledge about these anomalies, and act more measurably, so that a more efficient market can be achieved. This study uses a regression method that is looking for a significant value between days against the daily return index with the aim of finding a trading pattern on a particular day, especially on Monday and Friday. As a result, the weekend effect occurs during the post-crisis impact on the real sector, in other words affect the performance of the company's stock returns as a whole so that the global financial crisis that is post-crisis 2007-2008 has a negative statement on the weekend effect.Keywords: weekend effect; post crisis; return; efficient market; anomaly market
