Influence of two paraffin wax chewing gums with different con-sistencies on the stimulated salivary flow rate
Authors: Blattner Florence , Saccardin Fabio , Ortiz Virginia , Filippi Andreas
Published: June 2024

This study investigated and compared the consistency and compressive strength of two commercially available paraffin wax chewing gums (Aurosan (AU) and GC Europe (GC)), as well as their impact on stimulated salivary flow rate. Instrumental texture analysis was utilized to assess the consistency and compressive strength of AU and GC during a 7-min chewing period. Subsequently, stimulated salivary flow rate (sSFR) was evaluated in healthy subjects using AU and GC over a 7-minute period. The compressive strengths from the preliminary test were compared over time with the sialometry data. Eighty-one test subjects, comprising 33 men and 48 women, participated. Over the 7-min measurement period, differences were observed in the total amount of saliva accumulated per minute. Direct comparison of AU and GC revealed that regardless of age and gender, the amount of saliva formed after 1 min was 0.63 times less with AU than with GC (95% CI: 0.56 - 0.70; P < 0.001). The accumulated saliva volume with AU was also significantly lower than that with GC in the first 4 min (P = 0.016). However, from minute 5 onwards, the two products no longer showed statistical differences in the total amount of saliva. Comparison of the compressive strength of AU and GC showed that the values after 1 and 2 min were significantly higher for AU than for GC (P < 0.05); for all other time points, the compressive strength was higher for GC. In the mixed-effects model after log-transformation of compressive strength and saliva volume, GC exhibited decreasing saliva volumes with increasing compressive strength (P <0.001). Conversely, the opposite was observed for AU (P = 0.019). The study suggests that the consistency or compressive strength of paraffin wax chewing gums from different manufacturers could impact sSFR.

Application and Research of Multi-Scale Dynamic Diffusion Permeability Model in Different Coal Ranks
Authors: Ke Meixuan
Published: June 2024

The spatial scale of coal mining and rock layer control is distributed between 10-10 and 107, spanning 17 orders of magnitude. There are multi-scale pore cracks from millimeter to micro and nanometers in the coal, and the pore size can reach one million times, which makes the coal permeability also show a multi-scale characteristics of millions and time. For the permeability of the coal seam, it is necessary to test and analyze the distribution of micro and nano pores and cracks in the coal [1]. CBM mining is accompanied by the dynamic change of adsorption pressure in coal and the complex deformation of multi-scale heterogeneous structure of coal, and the multi-scale deformation feature of pore fissure structure plays an important role in the transport of methane [2]. However, existing studies focus on treating coal as a homogeneous isotropic medium, without considering the influence of coal multiscale pore structure on permeability. The variation of heterogeneous degree of coal structure with structural scale and its influence on dynamic diffusion and permeability are rarely reported. Li Zhiqiang et al. [3] conducted an experimental-model-mechanism study of CBM gas micro-nano series multi-scale dynamic diffusion permeability. On this basis, the dynamic diffusion and permeability of different coal scales.

Published: June 2024

Introduktion Sygeplejersker spiller en stor rolle i mange rehabiliteringsforløb. Men da nutidens praktiske sygepleje er en blanding af behandlende, forebyggende, sundhedsfremmende, lindrende og rehabiliterende indsatser, kan der i en kompleks sundhedspraksis opstå tvivl om sygeplejerskens specifikke rolle i rehabiliteringsindsatser - især når der arbejdes i tværfaglige teams, hvor hver profession typisk har sine egne specifikke roller og kompetencer. Dette kan skyldes de mange forskellige opgaver og ansvarsområder, som sygeplejersken typisk håndterer i forskellige sundhedsfaglige kontekster. Vi vil derfor udforske sygeplejerskens særlige rolle i rehabiliteringsindsatser – også i tværprofessionelle og tværsektorielle forløb - samt klarlægge, hvordan sygeplejerskers kompetencer og ekspertise styrker denne indsats. I Hvidbog for rehabilitering præsenteres en definition af rehabilitering, som er bredt accepteret blandt fagfolk:

Racionalnost znanstvenega raziskovanja naravnega prava
Authors: Mihelič Petja
Published: June 2024

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, through the presentation of various pursuits and creations of objective law, the necessity of objective natural law and the essential identity of natural and positive law. A positive law governing a morally relevant issue must be the same as the ethical norm of natural law. Only such a law can be considered just and legitimate. When regulating social relations in the field of morality, positive law must not depart from the coherent norms of natural law. However, man has the discretion to regulate many other areas of dispositive (natural) law, such as technical norms and the vast majority of legal rules in various legal branches. Legal theories of the origin of cultures (positivist, integral, historical, etc.) are not concerned about seeking objective law (as a fully constructed and set legal reality), but about creating objective law. It is a creation of a whole new reality: Grundnorm in Kelsen, Hercules in Dworkin, procedural objectivity in Fuller, minimal morality in Hart, seven commandments of good in Finnis, etc. The theories listed are of a subjectivist nature, as they want to create objective law, to determine good and evil themselves, to take on the role of God himself.

The Phenomenon of the Hijab Wrapping Tightly in the Qur'an Sunnah Review and its Comparison with the Veil and Burqa
Authors: Rahmawati Erma , Abdul Aziz Fikri , Raudhatul Jannah Gina
Published: June 2024

Islam sets various norms for its followers, including Muslim women, who are required to cover their aurat, maintain good character, and beautify their speech. Various types of coverings such as jilbab, hijab, khimar, niqab, and burqa serve the same function but have different forms. The niqab covers the face except for the eyes, while the burqa covers the entire face. Although modern technology makes it easier for Muslim women to choose comfortable and fashionable clothing, many prioritize trends over the function of covering the aurat. The interpretation of the Qur'an and Hadith regarding how to cover the aurat needs to be understood and applied correctly. This study uses an interpretative approach to understand tafsir literature. The hijab aims to protect women's dignity, and although slavery has been abolished, the hijab remains relevant to distinguish free women and maintain morality. The hijab controversy often arises due to differing interpretations of religion and gender. The majority of scholars agree that a woman's entire aurat should be covered except for the face and hands. This study provides an understanding of the meanings of hijab, niqab, and burqa and invites society, especially women, to understand and implement these teachings according to Sharia.

Authors: Nur Zen Hasanah  , Alfi Rizki , Rifkiah Ria , Abdul Muhyi Asep
Published: June 2024

Islam and fundamentalism have become significant subjects in contemporary studies of religion and politics. The presence of fundamentalism in the context of Islam poses complex challenges, particularly in managing the relationship between tradition and contemporary realities. This research employs descriptive and thematic content analysis methods to analyze the phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism, exploring its origins, characteristics, and impacts in social, political, and cultural contexts. Through a descriptive approach, this research provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of Islamic fundamentalism from historical, doctrinal, and practical perspectives. Thematic content analysis allows for an understanding of interpretations and applications of Islamic doctrines that underpin fundamentalist movements. The findings highlight the complexity of the relationship between the rich tradition of Islam and rapidly changing contemporary contexts. While fundamentalism often claims to uphold the "purity" of tradition, this research demonstrates how rigid understandings and interpretations often conflict with the values of modernity, human rights, and pluralism. The results of this research provide deep insights into the dynamics between Islam, fundamentalism, and contemporary challenges. Their implications stimulate critical reflection on how Muslim and non-Muslim societies can respond to these challenges in ways that promote dialogue, tolerance, and mutual understanding.

Con el desarrollo de IoT (internet de las cosas), el procesamiento de datos amplia tanto su complejidad como sus posibilidades de uso, entre los que destaca el desarrollo de la IA. Al mismo tiempo, se identifican una serie de efectos colaterales de esta tecnología que impactan en nuestra democracia. Los datos, y la forma en qué son procesados, conllevan riesgos para la ciudadanía, cuya amenaza principal es que sus nuestras vidas diarias sean vigiladas o intervenidas. No obstante, junto con estos conflictos, el IoT genera grandes beneficios para las sociedades en diversos campos como puede ser el sector industrial o el médico, sin olvidar las posibilidades ligadas a la mejora de la prevención de riesgos potenciales para las personas e infraestructuras. En cualquier caso, no se puede caer en su mitificación ni en el pesimismo. El papel de la regulación es esencial en esta profunda transformación tecnológica en la que nos encontramos. El IoT supone un verdadero desafío para la ciudadanía europea. La UE ha realizado un notable esfuerzo legislativo, que nos ha situado como el área del mundo con una legislación más avanzada en la protección de derechos en el ecosistema cibernético. Pero no es suficiente. Este libro ofrece no solo una evaluación de la situación actual, sino también realiza propuestas para construir una ciudadanía europea en la que la tecnología sea una aliada, no una amenaza.

Published: June 2024

Banana peel is rich in bioactive compounds and dietary fiber. Both tapioca starch and bananas are naturally gluten-free. As a means of waste valorization and snack enrichment, tapioca crispy crackers were enriched with banana peel, with or without flesh. The peel was from cv.Namwa bananas are in the final stages of ripening. Phenolic compounds in the ripe banana peel led to the bitterness of the enriched crackers. To increase the amount of banana peel that could be used, the peel was boiled before being incorporated into a formulation of banana peel, at 30 g /100 g of tapioca starch, and flesh at 8 g/100 g of tapioca starch, by weight. The crackers contained no preservative or synthetic coloring or flavoring agent and were assessed without further seasoning. The product was very well-received with 100% acceptance and 93.33% of the respondents were interested in buying it. More than half of the respondents regarded it as being innovative and tasty. Proximate analyses revealed that the optimized formulation contained 2.28% ± 0.08 of total dietary fiber (about 2,280% compared to 0.01% ± 0.02 of the formulation without banana) whereas no significant increase in protein content was observed. The product contained phenolic compounds at 27.26 ± 0.19 μg TAE/g. Sensory evaluation predicted that the enriched crackers, stored at 35±1 °C in a closed container, were not likely to be rejected due to any unpleasant smell of rancidity for at least 10 days. The phenolic compounds contributed by the boiled banana peel significantly suppressed the rancidification process. The optimized formulation can be used for the development of healthy antioxidant-rich, high-fiber, and high-protein snacks using high-protein food processing by-products.

African Agency in Mission: Apolo Kivebulaya and Religious Change in East Africa [reviewing Wild-Wood, Emma. The Mission of Apolo Kivebulaya]
Authors: Linda OCHOLA-ADOLWA
Published: June 2024

This book provides a history of religious change in East Africa through the lens of the life of Apolo Kivebulaya (c. 1865 – 1933). The book closely examines a previously less visible and poorly documented history, arguing that Kivebulaya and other African Christians contributed to the production and spread of spiritual knowledge, practices, and relationships. Given the fact that most of the existing documentation was written by European missionaries, the biography ensures that Africans remain at the center as the primary agents of Christian witness. The biography demonstrates excellent engagement of sources, including archival material and sources only available in East Africa.
The Increasing Breadth and Depth of African Christian Theology [reviewing Bongmba, Elias Kifon, ed. The Routledge Handbook of African Theology]
Authors: Nebeyou A. TEREFE
Published: June 2024

The spread of Christianity in Africa is linked with the presence of Western missionaries and colonialism. However, this connection does not extend to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) and the Egyptian Coptic Church, as both of these churches existed before the era of Western missionary activity and colonialism. Colonialism is characterized by its exploitation and imposition of cultural practices, which undermines local traditions, customs, and religious beliefs. It is important to note that colonialism, overall, had a detrimental effect leading to their subjugation, humiliation, and exploitation. African theology as a discipline emerges after the liberation of most African nations from their colonial oppressors. Initially, it arises as a response to Western dominance in Africa, particularly in terms of culture and language. African theology seen as playing a role in restoring African identity. Throughout the years, African theology undergoes different stages and experiences various developments. This book recounts these developments and explores the issues surrounding African theology.
African Theological Education: Retrospect and Prospect — An Anglophone Perspective
Authors: HANCILES Jehu J.
Published: June 2024

Christian theological thinking and vocation has a long and illustrious history on the African continent, dating back to prominent theologians in Roman North Africa and Egypt. To appraise the prospects of theological education in Africa against its complicated and fraught background, I will discuss two issues of primary importance: 1) the need for theological education (programs, research, and institutions) to deeply engage African realities and context; and 2) why overcoming the debilitating effects of captivity to the Western theological/intellectual tradition will be Africa’s greatest gift to the global church. These issues are primary because they will largely define or determine the prospects of African theological education for the next generation and beyond.

Kwame Bediako, Promoter of Africa Christian Thought
Authors: CARPENTER Joel A.
Published: June 2024

Kwame Bediako (1945–2008) was an influential African Christian theologian. Bediako’s theological achievements have received a fair amount of scrutiny, but his work as an organizer, promoter, developer, and sustainer of Christian thinking is arguably at least as valuable as his ideas. This article surveys the scope of what Kwame Bediako achieved as a Christian intellectual entrepreneur, it examines how he did it, and it explains why such work is so important. This essay traces the development of the Akrofi-Christaller Institute of Theology, Mission, and Culture, the formation of networks and resourcing initiatives for Christian thought in Africa and beyond, and Bediako’s methods as an intellectual agent. The strategic importance of these efforts is enormous. Bediako’s achievements should challenge others to do their part to strengthen the infrastructure of Christian thought, in Africa and worldwide.

Pertumbuhan karakter Kristen adalah suatu proses yang melibatkan pertumbuhan rohani, seseorang mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan dan memperdalam hubungan dengan-Nya melalui doa, membaca Alkitab, persekutuan dengan sesama umat beriman, dan pelayanan kepada sesama. Hal ini mencerminkan konsep kelahiran kembali diajarkan dalam Kitab Titus 3:5-7, yaitu proses spiritual yang dapat membentuk karakter seseorang. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai konsep kelahiran kembali menurut Kitab Titus 3:5-7. Konsep ini dapat diterapkan pada penumbuhan karakter mahasiswa STT Ecumene. Metode penelitian kualitatif yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini didasarkan pada filosofi yang digunakan untuk meneliti kondisi ilmiah. Studi literatur, artikel jurnal, dan media lainnya digunakan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang pertumbuhan karakter dalam agama Kristen. Selain itu, metode studi literatur juga digunakan untuk menjawab permasalahan penelitian dengan mencari sumber literatur yang relevan dengan topik penelitian, antara lain buku teks dan jurnal ilmiah. Kitab Titus 3:5 menekankan bahwa keselamatan datang bukan karena perbuatan baik yang kita lakukan, namun karena kasih karunia Tuhan. Konsep kelahiran kembali dalam konteks agama Kristen mengacu pada pengalaman spiritual seseorang mengalami transformasi batin yang mendalam, melalui pertobatan, pengampunan dosa, dan penerimaan kembali oleh Tuhan. Lingkungan belajar dan kehidupan di kampus dapat memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap pertumbuhan karakter mahasiswa, sedangkan pembaharuan oleh Roh Kudus adalah proses dimana individu diberikan hidup baru di dalam Kristus, dan Roh Kudus bekerja dalam diri individu untuk mengubah hati dan pikiran mereka. Melalui kematian dan kebangkitan-Nya, Kristus telah membayar dosa manusia dan membuka jalan bagi mereka untuk menerima keselamatan dan pembaharuan melalui Roh Kudus.
