Pemuridan Kontekstual dan Mengantar Kaum Muda Kristiani Kepada Pendewasaan Rohani
Authors: Puang Sambo
Published: February 2020

Kaum muda adalah semua masa dalam kehidupan manusia, dimana semua masi semangat, aktif, kekuatan dan talentanya sedang berkobar-kobar dan apabilah hal itu diarahkan dengan tepat dan baik yaitu menjadi berkat dan pengelola sesuai denagn Firman Tuhan ( Kej.1:26-28) maka kaum muda itu akan menghasilkan gelombang keberhasilan yang membawa kebahagian terutama kepada Tuhan, dan akan mengalami namanya kedewasaan rohani. Masalah yang masih banyak dialami oleh gereja masa kini adalah banyak kaum muda kristiani yang rela pindah agama atau keyakinan yang menyebabkan hal itu terjadi karna tidak adanya tindakan pemuridan dan pendewasaan rohani bagi kaum muda tersebut. Pemuridan kontekstual mengarahkan kaum muda pada kedewasaan rohani akan membantu gereja dalam mendidik kaum muda agar mereka tidak gampang terpengaruh oleh keyakinan lain yang akan menghacurkan kayakinan mereka selama ini.

Authors: Oducado Ryan Michael Flores , Palma Julie Anne Faye Sobrepeña
Published: February 2020

This descriptive survey aimed to determine awareness and participation in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) among nurses (n=30) in a private hospital in Iloilo City. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to gather data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U to test for differences between variables. Results indicated that were nurses were generally aware of the CPD law and its implementing rules and regulations (IRR). However, while nurses understood the concept of CPD and the new requirement of the CPD Act, more than half were not aware of learning activities under Self-Directed Learning and that nurses can earn CPD credit units through online CPD programs. More than one-third were unaware that excess CPD cannot be carried over to the next three-year period and that only completed post baccalaureate degree programs can be used to earn CPD credit units. There were no significant differences in the awareness of nurses when grouped according to sex, age, civil status, position, salary, and length of work experience. Seminars and workshops were the most common CPD activities participated by nurses in the last 12 months. Addressing the information gaps regarding the CPD law identified in this study may assist in increasing nurses’ support in the implementation of the mandatory CPD among nurses.

Underestimating the Unrepresented: Cognitive Biases Disadvantage Pro Se Litigants in Family Law Cases
Authors: Kroeper Kathryn Mary , Quintanilla Victor David , Frisby Michael Blake , Yel Nedim , Applegate Amy , Murphy Mary C , Sherman Steven
Published: February 2020

The majority of civil cases in the United States involve at least one pro se party—more often than not, at least one litigant is unrepresented by legal counsel. Despite efforts to provide pro se parties with information that decreases the procedural complexity of litigation, wide access to justice gaps persist between counseled and pro se litigants. We argue that, while helpful, information alone is not enough to close access-to-justice gaps, because the mere presence of counsel gives represented litigants a persuasive edge over pro se litigants in the eyes of legal officials. Two randomized experiments with civil court judges (Experiment 1) and attorney-mediators (Experiment 2), wherein only the presence of counsel varied (while other case-related factors were held constant), found that legal officials, on average, devalued the case merit of pro se litigants relative to otherwise identical counseled litigants. This case devaluation, in turn, shaped how legal officials expected pro se (vs. counseled) litigants to fare as they sought justice. Judges, attorneys, and mediators forecasted that pro se litigants would experience the civil justice system as less fair and less satisfying than counseled litigants, especially when the dispute resolution mechanism was trial (vs. mediation). These results suggest that perceptions of case merit are strongly influenced by a litigant’s counseled status. Comprehensive solutions to address access-to-justice gaps must consider ways to reduce legal officials’ biased perceptions of pro se litigants, so that they are not underestimated before their cases are even heard.
The Smart Plant
Authors: Fermaniuk Coral Lynn
Published: February 2020

Plants have long been excluded from the conversation regarding intelligent functioning in living things. This mindset dates back to ancient times, when plants were assigned a low-functioning and unintelligent rung on the scala naturae. In comparison to animals, plants have evolved to respond to their environment with a modular body plan, which lacks a nervous system and ‘intelligent’ organ, such as a brain. Despite this, research has demonstrated that plants are able to sense their environment, transmit sensory information throughout the entire organism, and respond to this sensory information with appropriate physiological responses. Also, plants have been shown to demonstrate aspects of learning and memory -cognitive functions once thought to be restricted to ‘intelligent’ beings (i.e. animals). The argument against plant intelligence is largely semantic-based, and stems from the concept that the word ‘intelligence’ cannot be applied to organisms which lack organs responsible for intelligent functioning. To truly appreciate the intelligent functioning of plants, we must eliminate this semantic barrier through a re-evaluation of our conventional understanding of intelligence. Perhaps this would require us to view intelligence, not as a quality unique to animals, but as a biological property, which in varying degrees is present in all life forms.

Manly Merchants
Authors: Marsden Magnus
Published: February 2020

This article explores intersections between masculinity, mobility, generation and commerce through the everyday lives of Afghan men who make up trading networks that are active across Eurasia. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork among Afghan traders in Ukraine’s port city of Odessa and in the international trading city of Yiwu in China. Building on recent work in anthropology concerning the ‘emergent’ nature of Middle Eastern masculinities, the article brings attention to the flexible and adaptable nature of the notions of masculinity held and performed by mobile Afghan traders. It emphasises the need for such conceptions of masculinity to be treated historically and draws attention to the forms of caregiving that are especially important to the traders’ intimate lives and self-understandings. The article also highlights the significance of complex notions of trust both to the traders’ articulation of conceptions of manliness and to their everyday modes of securing a livelihood.
Entanglements with the 'Sea'
Authors: Yazdani Nasim , Lobo Michele
Published: February 2020

Displacement following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and later political instability in the Middle East, has led to the increase of Iranian migrants to Australia and beyond, many of whom live in exile and can never return. This article explores how Iranian conceptualisations of the sea provide a framework for entanglements with nature and the environment that are poetic and turbulent, and provides insights into nostalgia and belonging. It explores some entanglements with the ‘sea’ in the work of classical and contemporary Persian poets, diasporic Iranian women’s literature, artwork and memories of newcomers of Iranian heritage who seek asylum in Australia. The article also highlights the connections between poet and world through investigating the role of the geographical realm and nostalgia in producing the worlds of human relations and thoughts with the place.

An Analysis of Semantic Waves: Maton’s Legitimation Code Theory for Cumulative Knowledge-Building
Authors: Ramadhan Yolanda
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to state that knowledge blindness in educational research has severe obstacles to understanding knowledge development. Karl Maton offers sociological concepts of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) - 'semantic gravity' and 'semantic density' – systematically. These concepts are used to analyse the way the classroom practices of secondary school learning in Indonesia, especially in Biology and History subjects. The researcher shows that the 'semantic wave' class can be a cumulative class practice. The most significant human society in education has the desire to build cumulative knowledge. Researchers usually produce ideas that have usefulness or attraction beyond the specificity of their original context. This research is useful to make the power to explore more in-depth knowledge with several policies that state that education must prepare students to live and work in a rapidly changing society by providing knowledge and skills that can develop throughout 'lifelong learning'. Educational learning can also be observed not only by context, but meaning and purpose also affect the cumulative and segmental parts. This problem forms the starting point for interdisciplinary research discussed in the papers collected in this special edition. Freebody (2013). At this point, the problem is the range with each discipline as the background of this research.

Authors: Ушаков A. C.
Published: February 2020

Статтю присвячено теоретичному аналізу проблеми впливу духовних цінностей на формування образу людини культури.

Автором розкрито сутність понять: «людина культури», «образ людини культури», представлено структуру ціннісної системи особистості, проаналізовано особливості детермінаційного впливу духовних цінностей на особистісний розвиток в цілому; окреслено напрями педагогічного впливу, що сприяє формуванню образу людини культури у студентської молоді.

Акцентується увага на тому, що людина як суб’єкт і об’єкт культури є носієм вищих (духовних, моральних, естетичних, творчих, інтелектуальних) цінностей і одночасно джерелом їхнього виникнення або трансформації. Особливістю людини культури є спрямованість на індивідуальний особистісний розвиток та духовну, творчу самореалізацію в соціумі.

У статті визначено двокомпонентну структуру ціннісної системи особистості: об’єктивні цінності, що представлені суспільними ідеалами та суб’єктивні цінності, які визначають світогляд людини та мотиви її поведінки. Засвоєння духовних цінностей та морально-етичних норм стає підґрунтям розвитку образу людини культури, що детермінує подальший особистісний розвиток у напрямі актуалізації зазначених цінностей. Формуванню образу людини культури у студентської молоді сприяє ознайомлення з найкращими взірцями світової культурної спадщини, де вдало поєднуються інтелектуальний, естетичний, духовний і моральний розвиток особистості,

Ключові слова: людина культури, образ людини культури, духовні цінності, моральні цінності, ціннісна логосфера.

Discourse of war in Oleksa Stefanovych’s poetry
Authors: Рязанцева Тетяна
Published: February 2020

The is article focuses on the military topics and poetics in the patriotic and religious poetry of Oleksa Stefanovych (1899—1970), one of the most interesting Ukrainian diaspora writers. The question of his personal war experience remains open, but the topic of war and the struggle for independence is an important element of his poetry. The e material for analysis is taken from his Apocalyptic cycle “The World’s End” (“Kinetssvitnie”) inspired by the events of the WWII, from his patriotic poems dedicated to the heroes of Kruty and Oleh Olzhych, and from the fragments of his unfinished poetic works on the tragic events of Bazar (“Do Bazaru”) and Brody (“Do Brodiv”). Based on Aleida Assman’s descriptions concerning the peculiarities of memory representations in literature, the author demonstrates the main points of Stefanovych’s creative strategy. It is focused on the sacralization and mythologization of real places, figures, and events connected with the struggle for Ukrainian statehood in the early 20th century and the participation of Ukrainians in the events of the WWII.

Stefanovych sacralizes space and time by putting the real tragedies of Ukrainian history into the Apocalyptic context and interweaving the motifs of martyrdom and heroism. In his poetic universe the sites of historical events become the places of worship, memory or trauma tightly connected with the paradoxical experience of military defeat that turned to be the moral victory. The typical stylistic traits of Stefanovych’s poetry are defined as the balance between the high symbolism and accuracy of naturalistic details, the extreme level of dramatic tension and exact moral accents.
Between small village and world: trilogy “Ost” by Ulas Samchuk
Authors: Василенко Вадим
Published: February 2020

The paper considers the trilogy of novels by Ulas Samchuk “Ost” as a genre variety of a family chronicle. The main issues are its genre nature, correlation of the work with traditions of the classic Ukrainian novel and the modern novel forms, its relation to the concept of “high literature”, the ideological and aesthetic views of the author.

The main point of the paper is the interpretation of Ulas Samchuk’s novel as an attempt to implement the idea of high literature substantiated by him. The concept of high literature in Ulas Samchuk’s sense is related to the concept of classical literature, and the very idea of literary work in exile is connected with the idea of the lost statehood.

The realistic basis of Ulas Samchuk’s novels originates in his understanding of realism as an artistic style and principle of depicting reality, the “universal key to the door of reality”. At the same time, the researcher testifies to the blurring of style shapes in Ulas Samchuk’s postwar prose and points to the combination of realistic traditions and modernist tendencies in it.

Focusing on the concept of generation and family in the novel, the author emphasizes the relations between the generations, because each one plays its significant role in the complex drama of the family and national histories. The family, as the subject of action and one of the main actors in the theater of history, becomes a symbolic embodiment of the trauma generated by history.

The notion of idyllic chronotope is connected with the sacred space of family, the motive of searching harmony. The basic element of such chronotope is the topos of hamlet as a form of ideal national existence. The idea of destroying the hamlet during the revolution is related to the process of destroying the family idyll. In general, the history of Moroz’s family in Ulas Samchuk’s novel is a reflection of the national history, and the destroyed space of the family is a field in which the Soviet totalitarianism repressive mechanisms were tested.
Hybrid war on stage of Kyiv Mohyla Academy (1736—1737)
Authors: Ісіченко Архиєпископ Ігор
Published: February 2020

During the 1736/1737 academic year, Mytrofan Dovhalevskyi taught a course in poetics at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. According to the rules of the time, he prepared two school dramas, the texts of which survived — for Christmas and Easter. Five interludes were set for each drama. In the 3rd interlude to the Christmas drama and the 5th interlude to the Easter drama, the plot is based on the confrontation of Liakh (Pole) and Zhyd (Jew), oppressing Belarusian and Ukrainian peasants, with Cossack. Moskal (Moscovite) is a powerful ally of the Cossack. The propaganda sense of both interludes is revealed in the context of political conflicts of that era. During 1733—1735 Stanisław Leszczyński, a former ally of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, led the war for the royal throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Most Ukrainian lands were then part of the Commonwealth. The Russian empire introduced troops into the territory of the Commonwealth and put on the throne Stanisław Leszczyński’s rival August III. Ukrainian citizens of the Commonwealth were prompted by Russians to revolt against Polish authorities. The Haidamaky movement emerged which Russia promised to support. The Cossacks of Zaporizhzhia in 1734 betrayed Hetman Pylyp Orlyk and came under the jurisdiction of the Russian empress. The interludes to the Mytrofan Dovhalevskyi’s dramas form the ideological basis for Russian aggression and future division of the Commonwealth. They impose on the spectators the idea of   oppressing Ukrainians and Belarusians by Poles, complementing it with anti-Semitic nuances. Cossacks are encouraged to engage in aggression, interpreted as a liberation mission. These trends, identified still in the Baroque literature, were used in 2014 by the Russian Federation for motivating its incursion into Ukraine. The modern terminology defines such trends with the concept of ‘hybrid war’.
EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION AND NATURE OF LITHIUM SALT ON CHARACTERISTICS OF GEL ELECTROLYTES DMSO-PVDF-LiAn
Authors: Globa Nataliy , Pershina Katherine , Shmatok Yurii , Milovanova Olha
Published: February 2020

The results of the study of electrolytes based on gel solutions of DMSO-PVDF-lithium salt with concentrations up to 0.05 m.f. and above 0.1 m.f. are presented.  It is shown that the conductivity of electrolytes is close to the conductivity of lithium salt solutions in pure DMSO and obeys the Arrhenius equation in the studied range of temperatures and concentrations. The calculated activation energies for electrolytes with a salt concentration of up to 0.05 m.f. are 14–15.4 KJ/Mol, and for electrolytes with a salt concentration above 0.1 m.f. - 16.9–20.6 KJ/Mol indicate a fast ion transfer, which in more concentrated solutions is inhibited by an increase in their crystallinity. The analysis of the equivalent circuit models of the Li-Li systems electrochemical impedance spectra showed the tendency of electrolytes to form capacitive elements at the lithium electrode-electrolyte interface. It was recognized the presence of semi-infinite diffusion in LiClO4 and LiIm with salt concentration of 0.05 m.f., due to the imperfection of the film formed on the electrode surface.

A crise política, social e econômica que a Venezuela enfrenta hoje é o resultado da ação de uma série de fatores políticos, geopolíticos e econômicos, que influenciam e se manifestam de forma decisiva na saúde e no futuro de sua indústria petrolífera. que conseguiu gerar mais de 90% de sua renda externa e que, por esse motivo, mantém por nove décadas uma sociedade viciada em alavancagem externa e incapaz de desenvolver uma economia produtiva autônoma. Este trabalho enfoca a análise dos determinantes da involução da indústria do petróleo, alguns dos quais têm seus determinantes externos, no cenário geopolítico do século passado e presente, mas outros, a meu ver, fundamentais, que têm É o produto de políticas econômicas e de gestão, específicas para esse setor industrial. Em particular, trato das críticas ao planejamento petrolífero venezuelano que começa a ser elaborado após a “reversão” à Nação, em 1976, das concessões concedidas a empresas internacionais pelo desenvolvimento da atividade petrolífera desde 1908. Um planejamento de mundos ilusórios, baseado em uma percepção errônea das circunstâncias naturais que determinaram o maior acúmulo de petróleo extra pesado no mundo em nosso país. Um planejamento no qual eles continuam a influenciar, mesmo a partir dos postos de comando da indústria "nacionalizada", os interesses do capital internacional do petróleo e suas respectivas metrópoles.

Typically, fashion product searching in online shopping malls uses meta-information of the product. However, the use of meta-information is not guaranteed to ensure customer satisfaction, because of inherent limitations on the inaccuracy of input meta-information, imbalance of categories, and misclassification of apparel images. These limitations prevent the shopping mall from providing a user-desired product retrieval. This paper proposes a new fashion product search method using multimodality-based deep learning, which can support more flexible and efficient retrieval by combining faceted queries and fashion image-based features. A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) generates a unique feature vector of the image, and the query input by the user is vectorized through a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based recurrent neural network (RNN). Then, the semantic similarity between the query vector and the product image vector is calculated to obtain the best match. Three different forms of the faceted query are supported. We perform quantitative and qualitative analyses to prove the effectiveness and originality of the proposed approach.

This paper concerns a case study presenting one of the biggest landfills in Poland that required application of complex engineering works to extend the deposing capacity of the structure. The shear strength parameters of the subsoil and waste material used for analyses were based on geotechnical investigation and were then applied in slope stability analyses of the landfill. For the purpose of safety management of the new development and reclamation plan for the landfill, an observational method was applied to increase the geotechnical safety of the structure. The slope reinforcement methods mainly included the geogrid, geocomposite, and berms construction. However, much of the uncertainty associated with the stability of the geogrid-reinforced slope is related to the time-dependent deformation of geosynthetic materials. For the purpose of changes in the geogrid parameters with time, the samples were excavated from the landfill slope after 20 years of exploitation and analyzed in the laboratory. The tests allowed precise determination of the material properties, changing geometry, and mechanical properties like tensile strength and strain. Obtained results were compared to parameters of the brand-new geogrid samples. The tests indicated only insignificant changes in geosynthetics, physical, or mechanical performance properties, and the slope has not been compromised in its stability or performance.

It is well proved that remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs) are very useful systems for remote sensing in precision agricultural labors. INTA (National Institute for Aerospace Applications) and the University of Huelva are involved in Tecnolivo Project that proposes the development of a marketable and easy-to-use technological solution that allows integrated, ecological, and optimized management of the olive grove through non-invasive monitoring of key agronomic parameters using RPASs. The information collected by the RPAS in regards to the state of the vegetation, such as hydric stress levels, plague detection, or maturation of the fruit, are very interesting for farmers when it comes to make decisions about their crops. Current RPAS applications for precision agriculture are mainly developed for small- to medium-sized crops using rotary-wing RPASs with small range and endurance operation, leaving aside large-sized crops. This work shows the conversion of a fully declassified and obsolete fixed-wing internal combustion engine (ICE) remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), used as aerial target for military applications and in reconnaissance and surveillance missions at low cost, into an electric lithium polymer (LiPo) battery-driven RPA that will be used for precision agriculture in large-sized crop applications, as well as other applications for tracking and monitoring of endangered animal species in national parks. This RPA, being over twenty years old, has undergone a deep change. The applied methodology consisted of the design of a new propulsion system, based on an electric motor and batteries, maintaining the main airworthiness characteristics of the aircraft. Some other novelties achieved in this study were: (1) Change to a more efficient engine, less heavy and bulky, with a greater ratio of torque vs. size. Modernization of the fly control system and geolocation system. (2) Modification of the type and material of the propeller, reaching a higher performance. (3) Replacement of a polluting fuel, such as gasoline, with electricity from renewable sources. (4) Development of a new control software, etc. Preliminary results indicate that the endurance achieved with the new energy and propulsion systems and the payload weight available in the RPA meet the expectations of the use of this type of RPAS in the study of large areas of crops and surveillance.

Published: February 2020

Ischemic stroke is a complex and devastating event characterized by cell death resulting from a transient or permanent arterial occlusion. Astrocytic connexin43 (Cx43) gap junction (GJ) proteins have been reported to impact neuronal survival in ischemic conditions. Consequently, Cx43 could be a potential target for therapeutic approaches to stroke. We examined the effect of danegaptide (ZP1609), an antiarrhythmic dipeptide that specifically enhances GJ conductance, in two different rodent stroke models. In this study, danegaptide increased astrocytic Cx43 coupling with no significant effects on Cx43 hemichannel activity, in vitro. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) the presence of danegaptide within brain tissue sections were detected one hour after reperfusion indicating successful transport of the dipeptide across the blood brain barrier. Furthermore, administration of danegaptide in a novel mouse brain ischemia/reperfusion model showed significant decrease in infarct volume. Taken together, this study provides evidence for the therapeutic potential of danegaptide in ischemia/reperfusion stroke.

Background: Development of radioresistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a significant problem in cancer treatment, contributing to the lack of improvement in survival trends in recent decades. Effective strategies to overcome radioresistance are necessary to improve the therapeutic outcomes of radiotherapy in OSCC patients. Methods: Cells and xenograft tumors were irradiated using the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform. AKT inhibitor capivasertib (AZD5363) was encapsulated into cathepsin B-responsible nanoparticles (NPs) for tumor-specific delivery. Cell viability was measured by alamarBlue, cell growth was determined by colony formation and 3D culture, and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry with the staining of Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) Annexin V and PI. An orthotopic tongue tumor model was used to evaluate the in vivo therapeutic effects. The molecular changes induced by the treatments were assessed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Results: We show that upregulation of AKT signaling is the critical mechanism for radioresistance in OSCC cells, and AKT inactivation by a selective and potent AKT inhibitor capivasertib results in radiosensitivity. Moreover, relative to irradiation (IR) alone, IR combined with the delivery of capivasertib in association with tumor-seeking NPs greatly enhanced tumor cell repression in 3D cell cultures and OSCC tumor shrinkage in an orthotopic mouse model. Conclusions: These data indicate that capivasertib is a potent agent that sensitizes radioresistant OSCC cells to IR and is a promising strategy to overcome failure of radiotherapy in OSCC patients.

The academic use of mobile technology engages students beyond traditional classroom contexts. Over the past few years, higher education institutions have promoted students’ learning and growth by supporting their use of mobile technology. Mobile technology offers educational possibilities that can enhance students’ growth in higher education. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between college students’ academic use of mobile technology and higher-order thinking skills through their active engagement and learning effort. The sample consisted of 456 students at a university in South Korea, and the data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results suggest that the academic use of mobile technology influences students’ higher-order thinking skills directly, in addition to their learning effort and active engagement in courses. These findings provide valuable information for higher education institutions that seek to introduce interactive and technology-integrated environments.
