Discipleship in Urban Contexts
Authors:   Andrews University, Sanou Boubakar
Published: July 2023

"With the current state of discipleship, congregations can no longer afford to rely on their church-centered programs as their main means of growing disciples. Programs do not disciple people; people disciple people. Becoming authentic communities who create intentional spaces where believers of all ages and stages in their faith journey can effectively and meaningfully connect with one another and with God, grow spiritually, and reach out to the world around them is of vital importance in urban discipleship. With the imperative to share the gospel in the cities, urban congregations need to objectively do their own discipleship reality assessment in light of Jesus’ example and command. A thoughtful assessment of the gap between Jesus’ intention and current practices will help them make necessary adjustments to their approach to discipleship."
Toward an Adventist Theology of Urban Mission
Authors:   General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Office of Adventist Mission, Krause Gary
Published: July 2023

"As the Adventist Church looks at modern cities, the vista can be overwhelming. The city is an enigmatic phenomenon, a conglomeration of hundreds of disparate cultures, languages, and people groups. It is a complex and complicated place, resistant to easy categorization or description. Just as soon as one feels one is getting a grip on the nature of a city, a street corner is turned and another unfamiliar world opens up. The way the church views the city is of fundamental importance to the way it conducts its urban mission; therefore, in this chapter I will propose a theological window that can provide a clearer vision for Adventist urban mission."
Toward a Post-Religious Urban Theology: The Missionary Movement Ethos in Secularized Contexts
Authors:   Brazil Adventist University, Dias Marcelo
Published: July 2023

"An urban theology should be the center of conversation with the current post-religious context that takes into serious consideration people’s search for meaning and the new spirituality in this age. Perhaps popular culture can give clues about contemporary meaning-making as well (Shannahan 2014:207-217). On the one side, history assures that an urban setting does not need to feel like a threat to the Christian faith. “Early Christianity was primarily an urban movement. The original meaning of the word pagan (paganus) was ‘rural person,’ or more colloquially ‘country hick.’ It came to have religious meaning because after Christianity had triumphed in the cities, most of the rural people remained unconverted” (Stark 2009:2). On the other hand, history warns that a theology irrelevant for the current context and a Christian identity disconnected from the biblical narrative should be perceived as a real threat for the transmission of the faith and mission."

Background and Purpose: Genotyping of pathogenic microorganisms is important for epidemiological studies and the adoption of appropriate strategies to control infectious diseases. In this regard, the present study aimed to genotype Candida albicans strains isolated from vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) patients using combined ABC type (25SrDNA) and repetitive sequence (RPS) typing systems. using combined typing systems of ABC type (25SrDNA) and repetitive sequence (RPS). Materials and Methods: In total, 140 patients with VVC were investigated. Vaginal discharges were collected on Sabouraud dextrose agar and identified by CHROMagar. After species identification, a polymerase chain reaction system targeting 25S rDNA as well as ALT repeats in the RPS was designed to determine C. albicans genotypes. The dendrogram was constructed by zero-one matrix data based on the combination of ABC and RPS typing systems. Statistical analysis of data was performed in SPSS software (version 23). Results: In total, 41 (29.3%) Candida isolates were obtained from 140 VVC patients. The most common Candida species that were identified included C. glabrata (56.1%) and C. albicans (39%). Genotype A3 with five isolates (31.25%) had the highest frequency, followed by B2/3 with three isolates (18.3%), A3/4, C3/4, and B3/4 with two isolates (12.5%), and C2/3 and C3 with one isolate (6.25%), respectively. No significant association was found between the genotypes and antifungal resistance (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that non-albicans Candida species are more prevalent in VVC patients, compared to C. albicans. The results also indicated that ABC and RPS typings are useful for rapid genotyping and differentiation of C. albicans isolates in regional and small-scale studies.

Background: Vitamin K2 refers to a series of naphthoquinone derivatives, which have a variety of physiological and pharmacological functions for the human body. The most important type of vitamin K2 is menaquinone-7 (MK-7), an expensive raw material with no local manufacturers in Iran. Objectives: Since there was no report on the yield of MK-7 produced by the currently available Bacillus subtilis natto species in Iran, this study aims to optimize the culture condition for the production of MK-7 using this Bacillus species. Materials and Methods: The base medium (BM) for MK-7 production contained glycerol (6.3%), soybean peptone (3%), and yeast extract (0.51%). The selected factors for optimizing the MK-7 production included the incubation temperature (30, 37, and 40°C) and incubation time (72, 96, and 120hr) with/without the addition of K2HPO4 to the fermentation medium. Three sets of experiments with six modes in each set were designed based on these parameters. MK-7 content was analyzed by the HPLC method. Results: Two experiments showed the highest MK-7 production yields of 0.319 and 0.3158 mg/L. The culture condition for both of these yields was as follows:120 hours incubation time in the presence of K2HPO4. However, the incubation temperature was different in these two experiments. The incubation temperature of 30°C resulted in 0.319 mg/L MK-7 concentration, and 37°C yielded 0.3158 mg/L. Conclusion: B. subtilis natto (IBRC-M 11153) is suitable to be used as a basic platform for the mutation and production of a high-producer species. Optimizing the culture conditions using the wild-type species is not beneficial in increasing the production ability of the bacterium. It is necessary to use different methods for enhancing the production yield of MK-7 to lower the cost of microbial production and make the industrial process economic

The Canadian government proactive monitoring activities of the private sponsorship of Refugees Program (PSR): practices and impact
Authors: Abdullah Salsabeel
Published: July 2023

The development of IRCC proactive monitoring activities was attributable to the growing concerns of inadequate resettlement practices affecting the privately sponsored refugees arriving in Canada. This MRP sought to determine the background context for the foundation of the IRCC proactive monitoring activities as well as understand the consequences of these practices. The study analyzed the process relating to the IRCC monitoring activities and the impacts it has on Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs). This study embraced a case study methodology that interviewed five staff members from various SAH organizations. The findings suggested that IRCC proactive monitoring process echoes management audit practices that are causing structural barriers and has adverse outcomes on SAHs operations. For example, the lack of IRCC consultations with SAHs has led to a rift of resistance that undermined their local expertise in refugee sponsorship. SAHs work has shifted towards strengthening its internal control mechanisms that emphasized financial

principles.

Older Syrian refugees' experiences of language barriers in post-migration and (re)settlement context in Canada
Authors: Boutmira Souhail
Published: July 2023

This research explores older Syrian (from the Government-Assisted Refugee program) experiences of language barriers in Canada's post-migration and resettlement context. Guided by the ecosystemic model (Guruge & Khanlou, 2004), the qualitative descriptive method (Sandelowski, 2000) was used to describe the experiences of six older adults (three women and three men, 55-year-old and over) living in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area. Results show that the lack of English proficiency affects refugees' resettlement and, in particular, older adults at risk of abuse. Language barriers influence older adult refugees because it limits their ability to navigate the Canadian systems, exacerbate their dependency on adult children, increase social isolation, and decrease employment and income opportunities. Participants' commitment to learning English comes from their conviction that fluency has an essential role in shaping their experiences in Canada. Conclusions can help policymakers identify specific interventions to address language barriers among older adult Refugees.
Remains of communism: an autoethnographic study of a Romanian-Canadian girl
Authors: Chesu Cezara
Published: July 2023

People migrate every single day and have been doing so since the beginning of the humankind. It is not something new, nor something out of the ordinary. That being said, all stories of migration are different depending on the push and pull factors of both the country of origin and the country of migration. Through this paper, I want to acknowledge my story and how it is different. I was born in post-communist Romania to a family that had lived their entire life in a wildly aggressive communist regime. I grew up in Romania in what was called a "democracy" at the time. My growing up however, was not democratic at all. Communism in Romania had never quite dissipated. While there is a sense that communism fell nearly overnight, in truth, the system was not so quickly dismantled. As a result, my entire childhood was influenced by the remains of communism.

Retail Demand Forecasting Using Neural Networks and Macroeconomic Variables
Authors: Haque Md Sabbirul
Published: July 2023

With the growing competition among firms in the globalized corporate environment and considering the complexity of demand forecasting approaches, there has been a large literature on retail demand forecasting utilizing various approaches. However, the current literature largely relies on micro variables as inputs, thereby ignoring the influence of macroeconomic conditions on households’ demand for retail products. In this study, I incorporate external macroeconomic variables such as Consumer Price Index (CPI), Consumer Sentiment Index (ICS), and unemployment rate along with time series data of retail products’ sales to train a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for predicting future demand. The inclusion of macroeconomic conditions in the predictive model provides greater explanatory power. As anticipated, the developed model, including this external macroeconomic information, outperforms the model developed without this macroeconomic information, thereby demonstrating strong potential for industry application with improved forecasting capability.
Mathematical Identities and Tracking: An Exploration of Efficacy in Children and Women
Authors:   , Hagan Emma
Published: July 2023

This study seeks to understand the impact of elementary school mathematical identities and mathematics tracking on the identities of women and girls. “Tracking” is an institutionalized education method developed in the 1960s and 1970s in which schools sort their students into smaller class-sized groups based on their observed achievement (Domina et al., 2016). Too often, when students test onto the lower track, they are confronted with a sense of futility and a lack of self-efficacy (Domina, Hanselman, Hwang & McEachin, 2016; Houtte & Stevens, 2015). Further, in STEM disciplines, students who identify as female report lower self-efficacy rates than those who identify as male (Hand et al., 2017). Girls typically form during their elementary school years a dislike and disinterest in mathematics across their academic careers and into adulthood (Tang, 2019; Carter, 2020). This comparative mixed methods study included student surveys with students in kindergarten, and 4th grade, pre-ability-based testing, and interviews with several adults who identify as female, some of whom serve as educators, some who have been tracked, and all of whom have provided mathematics biographies. The central research questions included: (1) How do mathematics placement tests and tracking impact student math identity and self-efficacy? (2) What perceptions do students and professional educators have about ability-based learning groups and tracking? (3) How does mathematics tracking in elementary school impact lifelong mathematical success? The findings show that most children have high self-efficacy in early childhood, and that tracking does matter over time. Lastly, the findings suggest that the self-efficacy of women and girls in mathematics increase through methods of teaching and co-teaching. This study illuminates the mathematical identities of students who identify as women and girls to promote their overall success.

Published: July 2023

This work aims to apply an integration between a multi-agent system and microsimulation to take advantage of the large amount of data generated in urban freight transport to improve the overall performance of the urban supply chain without forgetting the principles of autonomy that govern each of its actors, responding to the different dynamic scenarios that may arise in the operational context. The integration framework produces a satisfactory communication process in those modeling methods measured by two indexes: throughput and latency. The results of this integration show a robust response to dynamic scenarios and allow reacting to the different quantity of changes without dismissing the search for optimum solutions.

Aluminium memiliki berbagai aplikasi komersial karena memiliki ketahanan korosi yang baik, ringan, sifat mekanik yang baik, dan  kemudahan fabrikasi. Paduan Aluminium-Silikon memiliki kemampuan cor dan las yang baik, konduktivitas termal yang baik, dan ketahanan korosi yang sangat baik. Semakin berkembangnya zaman, maka dunia industri saat ini dituntut untuk meningkatkan kualitas hasil  produksinya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sifat mekanik paduan Al-Si setelah ditambahkan material lain. Metode penguatan pada paduan Al-Si menggunakan metode stir casting. Hasilnya  Penambahan Fe2O3 undoping dan doping graphene tidak dapat meningkatkan kekuatan tarik dari paduan Al-Si dan sebaliknya penambahan Fe2O3 undoping dan doping graphene menurunkan kekuatan tarik dari paduan Al-Si. Penambahan material Fe2O3 undoping graphene dan Fe2O3 doping graphene pada paduan Al-Si memiliki pengaruh terhadap kekerasan paduan Al-Si yaitu terjadi peningkatan nilai kekerasan dari Al-Si raw 108,83 HV setelah ditambah material Fe2O3 undoping graphene menjadi 111 HV dan menjadi 134,83 HV setelah ditambah material Fe2O3 doping graphene.

Published: July 2023

Stres adalah fenomena mental atau fisik yang terbentuk melalui penilaian kognitif seseorang terhadap rangsangan dan hasil interaksi seseorang dengan lingkungan. Layaknya penyakit lainnya, stres harus segera ditangani, agar tidak mengganggu keseharian hidup seseorang. Namun, diagnosis mandiri perlu dihindari untuk mencegah terjadinya penanganan yang keliru. Metode terbaru mendeteksi stres melalui media sosial, dimana psikiater dapat mengenali gejala stres seseorang berdasarkan postingan yang terus-menerus di media sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan dataset dari Twitter, dengan kuesioner DASS-42, model algoritma Multilayer Perceptron dan Indonesian Sentiment Lexicon. Analisis terhadap tweet dapat membentuk model prediktif yang diterapkan untuk mendeteksi sentimen serupa di tweet lain. Percobaan dua kasus uji, yaitu dengan parameter Adam solver menghasilkan akurasi 86%, sedangkan dengan parameter SGD solver menghasilkan akurasi 72%. Hal itu dikarenakan Adam solver bekerja lebih baik dari segi waktu pelatihan dan skor validasi pada kumpulan data yang relatif besar

Jaringan power listrik kapal untuk kegiatan operasional pelayaran memiliki karakteristik 3 phase 450 VAC 60 Hz, sumber listrik diproduksi generator dengan kapasitas 562 KVA. Gangguan pada jaringan power adalah undervoltage dan overvoltage, kondisi ini menyebabkan terjadinya voltage collapse atau blackout. Voltage collapse tidak boleh terjadi pada sistem power, karena itu banyak penelitian terdahulu membahas dan berusaha untuk mengatasi permasalahan undervoltage ini. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah membahas faktor utama dan upaya mengatasi masalah undervoltage pada busbar power listrik. Faktor dominan penyebab undervoltage adalah beban pemakaian terlalu tinggi (overload), baik oleh lonjakan sesaat atau beban tinggi berterusan. Pengujian pelepasan beban menggunakan metode undervoltage load shedding (UVLS) adalah metode untuk mengelola sistem power saat kondisi tegangan rendah, metode ini diimplementasikan untuk mencegah ketidakstabilan tegangan dan melindungi dari potensi kerusakan jaringan listrik. Pengujian metode UVLS dilakukan dengan memberikan beban secara bertahap, yaitu pemberian beban nilai kecil hingga besar untuk memastikan sistem UVLS melakukan pelepasan beban dengan benar. Pengujian beban bertahap dilakukan untuk memastikan sistem UVLS merespon dengan baik dan bekerja sesuai harapan, fungsi kerja ini untuk menghindari terjadinya voltage collapse/blackout pada instalasi power listrik.
