Recapturing the Oral Tradition of Storytelling in Spiritual Conversations with Older Adults: An Afro-Indigenous Approach
Authors: Juma Florence Akumu
Published: June 2022

The historical value of the oral tradition permeates literature as represented in multiple disciplines, including theology. An aspect of this tradition has proven viable in spiritual conversations with older adults. This paper will discuss the oral tradition’s medium of storytelling and listening to demonstrate its relevance in therapeutic conversations with older adults. Therapeutic storytelling is a distinct intervention prevalent in the African oral tradition This approach is also gaining attention in the contemporary context, blending seamlessly within the narrative approach. Using the quantitative research method of ethnography and autoethnography, I analyze specific therapeutic encounters that employ a storytelling/listening approach in spiritual conversations. The analysis reveals the relevance of storytelling in specific therapeutic encounters. Storytelling is gaining interest and reclaiming space in therapeutic settings with diverse populations, but mostly with older adults. The study also highlights the apparent similarities between the traditional approach to storytelling and the narrative approach in the contemporary therapeutic milieu.
Baptists in Scotland and Their Publications in the Long 20th Century
Authors: Talbot Brian R.
Published: June 2022

The impression is given in studies of theological books published in Scotland in the long twentieth-century that Scottish Baptists produced few significant works of academic scholarship. There is also no indication of any significant contribution made by more popular studies in theology or in church history. There is no doubt that only a very small number of scholars from this constituency have produced notable works in the fields of biblical studies missiology or theology, though a much larger number of works were produced for the benefit of the members of Christian congregations in this country. In the field of church history, very few works were published in the first half of the twentieth century, but by contrast, an increasing number of authors contributed to a flourishing area of studies in more recent decades. However, this study seeks to demonstrate that far more books were published than had been expected, and further studies are likely to increase this total in due course. It will be argued that Scottish Baptists, therefore, made a small but also significant contribution to both academic and more popular publishing in these fields in the long twentieth century.

The term leishmaniasis includes multiple clinical syndromes: visceral, cutaneous, and mucosal leishmaniasis, resulting from an infection of macrophages throughout the reticuloendothelial system in the dermis and the naso-oropharyngeal mucosa, respectively. The clinical phenotype is mainly driven by the leishmania biologic characteristics and, ultimately, also by the host immune status. The disease is endemic in focal areas in the tropics, subtropics, and southern Europe, transmitted by the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies. Sandflies regurgitate the parasite’s flagellated promastigote stage into the host’s skin; promastigotes bind to receptors on macrophages are phagocytized and transformed within phagolysosomes into non-flagellated amastigotes which replicate and infect additional macrophages. Amastigotes ingested by sandflies transform back into infective promastigotes. Depending on the host’s innate and acquired immune status, systemic and visceral leishmaniasis can be characterized by irregular fever, weight loss, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and anaemia. We present a 42 year-old man with long-lasting type 1 autoimmune hepatitis under immunosuppressive treatment. In January 2017, the patient started to experience low-grade unresponsiveness to empiric antibiotic therapy. The patient developed severe anemia and progressive multilineage cytopenia accompanied by increased levels of inflammatory markers. FDG-PET revealed increased glucose uptake in the liver, spleen, and the whole bone marrow. The subsequently performed bone marrow biopsy evidenced Leishmania amastigotes inside macrophages, confirmed by serological positivity to anti-Leishmania antibody. Immunosuppressive therapy was suspended and replaced by treatment with amphotericin B at 4 mg/kg/day from day 1 to day 5, followed by a single infusion on days 10, 17, 24, 31, and 38. The bone marrow smear after treatment still evidenced few Leishmania amastigotes; in consideration of the patient’s immunosuppression status, two further doses of amphotericin B on days 45 and 52 were employed, leading to infection resolution. In real-life, as exemplified in this case, administering two additional doses of amphotericin B (concerning the guidelines) offered an additional therapeutic opportunity for a patient under long-term immunosuppressive treatment.

Urbanization has a significant influence on precipitation, but existing studies lack the spatial and temporal heterogeneity analysis of its impact on precipitation in urban areas at different levels. This study investigates the spatial heterogeneity of precipitation and the influencing factors on six dimensions in 156 urban areas in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei urban agglomeration from 2000 to 2018, utilizing a mixed-methods analytical approach. The results show that the change in the natural factor layer caused by urbanization was the most important factor, affecting urban precipitation variation in summer and over the whole year, accounting for 34.5% and 10.7%, respectively. However, the contribution of the urban thermal environment in summer cannot be ignored, and the change in the urban thermal environment caused by human activities in winter is an important influencing factor. When considering the optimal combination of factors, relative humidity was shown to be significant in the spatial variations in precipitation during summer, which contributed 26.2%, followed by human activity as indicated by night-time light intensity. Over the whole year, aerosol optical depth makes the substantial contribution of 21.8% to urban precipitation change. These results provide benchmarks for improving the adaptability of urban-environment change and urban planning in the context of urbanization.

Published: June 2022

Earthquake-triggered landslides frequently occur in active mountain areas, which poses great threats to the safety of human lives and public infrastructures. Fast and accurate mapping of coseismic landslides is important for earthquake disaster emergency rescue and landslide risk analysis. Machine learning methods provide automatic solutions for landslide detection, which are more efficient than manual landslide mapping. Deep learning technologies are attracting increasing interest in automatic landslide detection. CNN is one of the most widely used deep learning frameworks for landslide detection. However, in practice, the performance of the existing CNN-based landslide detection models is still far from practical application. Recently, Transformer has achieved better performance in many computer vision tasks, which provides a great opportunity for improving the accuracy of landslide detection. To fill this gap, we explore whether Transformer can outperform CNNs in the landslide detection task. Specifically, we build a new dataset for identifying coseismic landslides. The Transformer-based semantic segmentation model SegFormer is employed to identify coseismic landslides. SegFormer leverages Transformer to obtain a large receptive field, which is much larger than CNN. SegFormer introduces overlapped patch embedding to capture the interaction of adjacent image patches. SegFormer also introduces a simple MLP decoder and sequence reduction to improve its efficiency. The semantic segmentation results of SegFormer are further improved by leveraging image processing operations to distinguish different landslide instances and remove invalid holes. Extensive experiments have been conducted to compare Transformer-based model SegFormer with other popular CNN-based models, including HRNet, DeepLabV3, Attention-UNet, U2Net and FastSCNN. SegFormer improves the accuracy, mIoU, IoU and F1 score of landslide detectuin by 2.2%, 5% and 3%, respectively. SegFormer also reduces the pixel-wise classification error rate by 14%. Both quantitative evaluation and visualization results show that Transformer is capable of outperforming CNNs in landslide detection.
Super-Resolution of Sentinel-2 Images Using a Spectral Attention Mechanism
Authors: Zabalza Maialen , Bernardini Angela
Published: June 2022

Many visual applications require high-resolution images for an adequate interpretation of the data stored within them. In remote sensing, the appearance of satellites such as Sentinel or Landsat has facilitated the access to data thanks to their free offer of multispectral images. However, the spatial resolution of these satellites is insufficient for many tasks. Therefore, the objective of this work is to apply deep learning techniques to increase the resolution of the Sentinel-2 Read-Green-Blue-NIR (RGBN) bands from the original 10 m to 2.5 m. This means multiplying the number of pixels in the resulting image by 4, improving the perception and visual quality. In this work, we implement a state-of-the-art residual learning-based model called Super-Resolution Residual Network (SRResNet), which we train using PlanetScope-Sentinel pairs of images. Our model, named SARNet (Spectral Attention Residual Network), incorporates Residual Channel Attention Blocks (RCAB) to improve the performance of the network and the visual quality of the results. The experiments we have carried out show that SARNet offers better results than other state-of-the-art methods.

Studying population structure has made an essential contribution to understanding evolutionary processes and demographic history in forest ecology research. This inference process basically involves the identification of common genetic variants among individuals, then grouping the similar individuals into subpopulations. In this study, a spectral-based classification of genetically differentiated groups was carried out using a provenance–progeny trial of Eucalyptus cladocalyx. First, the genetic structure was inferred through a Bayesian analysis using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Then, different machine learning models were trained with foliar spectral information to assign individual trees to subpopulations. The results revealed that spectral-based classification using the multilayer perceptron method was very successful at classifying individuals into their respective subpopulations (with an average of 87% of correct individual assignments), whereas 85% and 81% of individuals were assigned to their respective classes correctly by convolutional neural network and partial least squares discriminant analysis, respectively. Notably, 93% of individual trees were assigned correctly to the class with the smallest size using the spectral data-based multi-layer perceptron classification method. In conclusion, spectral data, along with neural network models, are able to discriminate and assign individuals to a given subpopulation, which could facilitate the implementation and application of population structure studies on a large scale.

Published: June 2022

Based on a linear spectral mixture model and multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis, using daily advanced very-high-resolution radiometer (AVHRR/2) data of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, a subpixel snow mapping algorithm was proposed in this paper, for prolonging the historical time series of the fractional snow cover data to 40 years. In particular, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and channels 1 and 2 of AVHRR/2 data were used to automatically select the end-members directly, from a certain AVHRR/2 image. A look-up table of sample spectra of mixed pixels and their respective snow cover percentages was introduced for one AVHRR/2 image. According to the established look-up tables, the fractional snow cover of each mixed pixel can then be extracted from the AVHRR/2 images. Before the subpixel snow mapping, the cloud pollution of the AVHRR/2 images was mitigated, with both the thick and thin clouds almost removed from the AVHRR/2 images. It turns out that the processing speed of the subpixel snow mapping is three times faster than the process not using the look-up table. The mapping algorithm was validated against the snow-covered area from Thematic Mapper (TM) data, with the root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) well below 0.12. Results show that the proposed algorithm for subpixel snow mapping is both effective and efficient, especially in such a mountainous region as the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.
Review of Remote Sensing Applications in Grassland Monitoring

Published: June 2022

The application of remote sensing technology in grassland monitoring and management has been ongoing for decades. Compared with traditional ground measurements, remote sensing technology has the overall advantage of convenience, efficiency, and cost effectiveness, especially over large areas. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest remote sensing estimation methods for some critical grassland parameters, including above-ground biomass, primary productivity, fractional vegetation cover, and leaf area index. Then, the applications of remote sensing monitoring are also reviewed from the perspective of their use of these parameters and other remote sensing data. In detail, grassland degradation and grassland use monitoring are evaluated. In addition, disaster monitoring and carbon cycle monitoring are also included. Overall, most studies have used empirical models and statistical regression models, while the number of machine learning approaches has an increasing trend. In addition, some specialized methods, such as the light use efficiency approaches for primary productivity and the mixed pixel decomposition methods for vegetation coverage, have been widely used and improved. However, all the above methods have certain limitations. For future work, it is recommended that most applications should adopt the advanced estimation methods rather than simple statistical regression models. In particular, the potential of deep learning in processing high-dimensional data and fitting non-linear relationships should be further explored. Meanwhile, it is also important to explore the potential of some new vegetation indices based on the spectral characteristics of the specific grassland under study. Finally, the fusion of multi-source images should also be considered to address the deficiencies in information and resolution of remote sensing images acquired by a single sensor or satellite.

The indicators of the conformation and reproductive abilities of hybrid sows in the dynamics of six farrowings under the conditions of the pedigree farm of the pig breeding complex of PAO “Cherkizovo-pig breeding” were studied comparatively. In the dynamics of six farrowings the largest increase was revealed by measuring the chest depth by 16,32 %, and the smallest by height at the withers by 6,64 %. Analysis of changes in measurements has shown that sows at the beginning of reproductive use had not yet finished growing and significantly increased their linear sizes during the first three farrowings. At the same time, they grew most intensively in length than in height. According to the calculated conformation indices Topigs Norsvin hybrid sows were characterized as animals of a typical meat productivity direction. When characterizing the conformation of animals by indices, it was revealed that the index of longlegginess gradually decreased in age dynamics. According to the index of massiveness and lengthiness a tendency to increase indicators with the increase in the number of farrowing sows was revealed. The blockiness index has shown the slight increase until the third farrow, and in subsequent farrowings this index remained approximately at the same level. The live weight of sows at the first farrowing was 149,49 kg. The live weight of sows increased by 99,11 kg or by 16,62 % by the sixth farrowing. The most intensive gain in live weight was observed during the first four farrowings. So, in the fourth farrowing the live weight of sows increased by 65,62 kg or 43,90 % compared with the first farrowing. The calculated correlation coefficients between the indicators of conformation and reproductive abilities turned out to be relatively low, they had mainly a negative orientation.

The urgent need to include biologically active additives in diets including vitamins is primarily due to the fact that their use makes it possible to neutralize the negative effect of certain dietary deviations. Vitamin E is one of the most effective natural antioxidants, which has a versatile effect on metabolism, the role of which in a living organism is difficult to overestimate. Agricultural enterprises of the Russian Federation have imported vitamin E over the past 30 years from abroad due to its absence on the domestic market. State Company “MegaMix” in 2019 developed and mass-produced the feed additive INNOVIT® E 60, which has no analogues in world practice. The purpose of the research was to study the effectiveness of biologically active additives of a new generation in feeding of broiler chickens. INNOVIT® E 60 (registration No. PVR-2-8-20/03540) was used as a test feed additive containing vitamin E-acetate (DL-α-tocopheryl acetate) – 60-63 % as an active substance, as well as an auxiliary substance (carrier) silicon dioxide – up to 100 %. Three groups of broiler chickens were formed for the research: the control group, which received vitamin E as an additive to the main diet (BASF, Germany) in doses of 120, 100, 80 g/t of compound feed, depending on the rearing period, broiler chickens of the 1st experimental group received the additive INNOVIT® E 60 (MegaMix, Russia) in doses of 120, 100, 80 g/t of compound feed and broiler chickens of the 2nd experimental group received the additive INNOVIT® E 60 (MegaMix, Russia) in doses of 100, 80 and 60 g/t of compound feed depending on the age period of broilers rearing. The conducted studies allowed us to establish the effectiveness of the use of the INNOVIT® E 60 feed additive of domestic production in the feeding of broiler chickens in comparison with the imported analog. The optimal dosage of the tested feed additive is 100, 80 and 60 g/t of compound feed depending on the age period of the broiler chickens being reared.

STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL PENGGUNAAN SEKRUP TIPE SELF DRILLING SCREW PADA SAMBUNGAN BAJA RINGAN (COLD FORMED STEEL)
Authors: Devtrina Fahmi Savero , Setiyarto Y. Djoko
Published: June 2022

Penggunaan baja ringan (cold formed steel) sebagai bahan konstruksi sudah semakin popular. Di Indonesia, penggunaan baja ringan biasanya diaplikasikan pada struktur atap dengan menggunakan sekrup self drilling screw sebagai alat sambung. Sekrup tidak menggunakan mur seperti baut pada umumnya, sehingga kegagalan lebih mungkin terjadi pada jenis alat sambung ini. Penelitian eksperimental ini menguji sambungan baja ringan yang menggunakan self drilling screw dengan mekanisme tumpu dan diberikan beban tarik aksial. Variabel spesimen dibedakan berdasarkan ketebalan profil baja ringan, jumlah dan formasi self drilling screw yang digunakan. Dari hasil eksperimental diketahui bahwa mekanisme keruntuhan yang terjadi berupa keruntuhan tilting, keruntuhan hole-bearing dan keruntuhan pull-over. Diperoleh pula kekuatan sambungan (Pmax) terbesar yang terdapat pada sambungan dengan menggunakan 3 buah self drilling screw yang dipasang zig-zag, baik hasil pengujian laboratorium maupun perhitungan teoritis. Hasil yang logis berdasarkan pengaruh jumlah sekrup, karena semakin banyak sekrup semakin besar kekuatan sambungan, tetapi itupun dipengaruhi oleh pola perletakan sekrup yang digunakan.

The SARS-CoV-2 variants have been emerging and have made great challenges to current vaccine and pandemic control strategies. It is urgent to understand the current immune status of various Chinese populations given that the preexisting immunity has been established by national vaccination or exposure to past variants. Using sera from 85 individuals (including 21 convalescents of natural infection, 15 cases which suffered a breakthrough infection after being fully vaccinated, and 49 healthy vaccinees), we showed significantly enhanced neutralizing activities against SRAS-CoV-2 variants in convalescent sera, especially those who had been fully vaccinated. The neutralizing antibodies against Omicron were detectable in 75% of convalescents and 44.9% of healthy vaccinees (

), with a detectable rate of 50% and a GMT of 46.4 against Omicron. We also examined and found no pan-sarbecovirus neutralizing activities in vaccinated SARS-CoV-1 survivors. A booster dose could further increase the breadth and magnitude of neutralization against WT and variants of concern (VOCs) to different degrees. In addition, we showed that COVID-19-inactivated vaccines can elicit Omicron-specific T-cell responses. The positive rates of ELISpot reactions were 26.7% (4/15) and 43.8% (7/16) in the full vaccination group and the booster vaccination group, respectively, although without statistically significant difference. The neutralizing antibody titers declined while T-cell responses remain consistent over 6 months. These findings will inform the optimization of public health vaccination and intervention strategies to protect diverse populations against SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Advances
. Breakthrough infection significantly boosted neutralizing activities against SARS-CoV-2 variants as compared to booster immunization with inactivated vaccine. Vaccine-induced virus-specific T-cell immunity, on the other hand, may compensate for the shortfall. Furthermore, the public health system should target the most vulnerable group due to a poorer protective serological response in both infected and vaccinated adolescents.
Menangkal Radikalisme Agama Berdasarkan Reinterpretasi Amanat Agung Injil Matius Dalam Konteks Poskolonial

For the Indonesian nation, which is a nation with a pluralistic society, religions have an important role to play in creating a nation with a peaceful and harmonious society in order to create national unity and progress. But it is a fact that often conflicts and divisions that occur are the result of religion itself, especially if the religious ideology is contrary to the values of Pancasila which uphold tolerance. Seeing this reality, an attitude is needed to see how the teachings of each religion are for its adherents. Specifically for Christianity, by using qualitative research methods and literature studies, this paper intends to reinterpret the great message which is currently attached to interpretation, namely the command to Chirstianize due to the influence of colonialism. Because the meaning of Christianity is no longer relevant for Indonesia and has even become a sensitive meaning for adherents of other religions. That is why, this paper wants to offer a post-colonial spirit to be able to reinterpret the wrong interpretation of the Great Commission, so that the interpretation is more relevant to the context in Indonesia. So that it can help the government in efforts to counter religious radicalism.
Abstrak: Bagi bangsa Indonesia yang merupakan bangsa dengan masyarakat majemuk, agama memiliki peran penting untuk menciptakan bangsa dengan kondisi masyarakat yang damai dan harmonis agar bisa tercipta keutuhan serta kemajuan bangsa. Tetapi menjadi suatu kenyataan bahwa seringkali konflik dan perpecahan yang terjadi adalah hasil dari agama itu sendiri, apalagi jika ideologi agama itu bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila yang menjunjung tinggi toleransi. Melihat realita itu, maka diperlukan sikap untuk melihat bagaimana ajaran masing-masing agama bagi para pemeluknya. Secara khusus bagi agama Kristen, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dan studi pustaka, tulisan ini hendak melakukan reinterpretasi terhadap amanat agung yang dewasa ini sudah melekat dengan interpretasi, yaitu perintah untuk mengkristenkan akibat pengaruh kolonialisme. Sebab makna kristenisasi tidaklah lagi relevan bagi Indonesia dan malah menjadi makna yang sensitif bagi penganut agama lainnya. Itulah sebabnya, tulisan ini hendak menawarkan semangat poskolonial untuk bisa melakukan reinterpretasi terhadap interpretasi keliru dari amanat agung, agar interpretasinyanya lebih relevan dengan konteks yang ada di Indonesia. Karena hal tersebut dapat membantu pemerintah dalam upaya menangkal radikalisme agama.
EPICISATION OF DRAMA: LINGUISTIC AND STYLISTIC FEATURES
Authors: Sokolovska S.
Published: June 2022

The Brechtian epicization of drama is studied from the prospective of seeingthe play as a literary work endowed with enormous intergenerational potential toinfluence the reader's consciousness, and at the same time as the literary basis77of the performance that becomes an intellectual event for the audience. Theresearch focuses on the study of the peculiar speech of the epic drama, theanalysis of dramaturgical texts and the interpretation of the plays "Man EqualsMan" and "The Good Person of Szechwan." The play "Man Equals Man" does notreflect the particular facts of political life in the Weimar Republic, but the form ofthe parable which Brecht used throughout his literary career creates "thealienation effect" (Verfremdungseffekt): apart from the concrete and visual, it alsohas a generalised long-range plan. The play "The Good Person of Szechwan"reveals a multi-coloured gamut of speech disconnection, differentiation, andsynthesizing. The problem of searching for and revealing a "cased" person,finding a die-cast personality is not only one of the facets of the idea of the drama,but also is the main idea, theme, plot and collision, i.e. the basis of all componentsof the content and form of this work. This is embodied in the development ofconventionality, free stage forms that construct the dramaturgical event through asystem of metaphors and associations. Drama to a certain extent becomes a freeauthorial expression, in which traditional elements act as a kind of pillars ofreception and interpretation. Changing "points of view" in a dramaturgical text,that is, changing the author's attitude in relation to the characters, their wordsand actions makes it possible to hear the "second voice", the "author’s comment".The poetics of non-Aristotelian drama contributes to the fusion of genreboundaries and the penetration of epic and lyrical principles into drama andtheatre. Its essence is revealed through motifs, rhythm, intonation, whichcontribute to creation of the melody of the text itself; increased associativity ofwords, gestures, sounds; a verbal theme that can be guessed in many variations.The traditional dramaturgical conflicts are extended to their global forms, thespiritually open to the interlocutor characters appear.

Implementation of a post-overdose quick response team in the rural Midwest: A team case study
Authors: Canada Meredith , Formica Scott
Published: June 2022

The opioid-involved overdose crisis in the United States has had devastating effects on communities across the country. Post-overdose outreach teams have emerged as one way to reduce overdose risk for individuals who use drugs. Limited literature exists on how these teams are developed and how they operate. Even less is known about these teams in rural locations. This case study explored one rural team’s implementation, including its strengths and barriers to serving participants. Findings from interviews with program staff indicate the team had a consistent procedure for conducting outreach with overdose survivors and family members, had broad support and buy-in from leadership, and were able to clearly articulate the program’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth—including the need for more formal program evaluation. Factors that facilitated implementation included use of a person-centred and non-coercive approach, establishment of team role boundaries, multi-disciplinary collaboration, empathy, and buy-in across agencies and town leadership. Barriers included stigma among citizens, lack of an evaluation plan, difficulty providing outreach to individuals who have unstable housing, and difficulty following up with service agencies. The findings can benefit other jurisdictions, especially small and rural localities seeking to address the drug crisis more effectively.
Policing the pandemic: Public health, law enforcement, and the use of force
Authors: Van Dijk Auke J. , Shearing Clifford , Cordner Gary
Published: June 2022

This article delves into the relationship between policing and public health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The police have been seen as a crucial and extensively mobilised resource that has been utilised in responding to a public health crisis. The response to the pandemic shows the police mainly as enforcing state orders in which they have a traditional function related to the use of force. It is argued here that the classic definition of policing in terms of the use of force allows for the police becoming ‘decoupled’ from the institutional frames of criminal justice and public order. The perspective of a decoupled police would have real consequences for their involvement in public health. The article concludes with the conditions necessary for police to be a legitimate force in the public health domain.
Obstacles to mental health treatment: Similarities and differences among first responder groups

Published: June 2022

First responders have been shown to be at risk for several negative mental health outcomes. However, it is not always clear how to intervene to prevent these outcomes. One approach has been to try to reduce the obstacles to care that might be imposed by the profession or the organization. In this paper, we investigate whether the nature of these obstacles varies as a function of the type of job. A group of 1,485 first responders were studied. The results indicate a number of important specialty-related differences. The results are discussed in terms of how to tailor prevention programs to confront obstacles to care.
