Uncommon fracture in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: A case report
Authors: Booker Lyndsey , Omura Jaclyn
Published: June 2023

Proximal humerus fractures in pediatric patients are uncommon. This is a case report of a 17-year-old patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who sustained an occult proximal humerus fracture. The patient was on chronic steroids and had a history of vertebral and long bone fractures. He was using a wheeled mobility device on public transportation at the time of injury. He had a negative radiograph, but an MRI revealed a right proximal humerus fracture. He had decreased mobilization in the affected extremity, which limited activities of daily living including driving his power wheelchair. After six weeks of conservative management, he returned to his baseline level of activity. It is important to recognize that chronic steroid use adversely affects bone health, and fractures may be missed on initial imaging. To ensure adequate safety, providers, patients, and their families should be educated on the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines for using wheeled mobility devices on public transportation.

BACKGROUND: Photon counting spectral CT is a significant direction in the development of CT technology and material identification is an important application of spectral CT. However, spectrum estimation in photon counting spectral CT is highly complex and may affect quantification accuracy of material identification. OBJECTIVE: To address the problem of energy spectrum estimation in photon-counting spectral CT, this study investigates empirical material decomposition algorithms to achieve accurate quantitative decomposition of the effective atomic number. METHODS: The spectrum is first calibrated using the empirical dual-energy calibration (EDEC) method and the effective atomic number is then quantitatively estimated based on the EDEC method. The accuracy of estimating the effective atomic number of materials under different calibration conditions is investigated by designing different calibration phantoms, and accurate quantitation is achieved using suitable calibration settings. Last, the validity of this method is verified through simulations and experimental studies. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that the error in estimating the effective atomic number is reduced to within 4% for low and medium Z materials, thereby enabling accurate material identification. CONCLUSION: The empirical dual-energy correction method can solve the problem of energy spectrum estimation in photon counting spectral CT. Accurate effective atomic number estimation can be achieved with suitable calibration.

Telah dilakukan pengujian karakteristik aerodinamika model uji airfoil NACA 0018 seperti gaya dan momen yang dihasilkan dari interaksi antara aliran udara dengan permukaan model uji menggunakan terowongan angin. jenis hisap terbuka yang mempunyai dimensi seksi uji sebesar 1,25 m x 0,5 m x 0,5 m. Karakteristik aerodinamika secara umum dinyatakan dengan gaya angkat (lift), gaya hambat (drag) dan gaya momen. Gaya angkat adalah gaya yang arahnya tegak lurus terhadap vektor kecepatan terbang, sedangkan gaya hambat adalah gaya yang arahnya sejajar vektor kecepatan terbang. Untuk mengukur gaya dan momen pada terowongan angin dipasang load cell menggunakan strain gauge guna membaca beban statik. Gaya atau momen yang dibebankan pada loadcell akan mengakibatkan deformasi pada struktur loadcell, dan nilainya akan terbaca pada rangkaian sensor regangan (strain gauge) kemudian diubah menjadi sinyal elektrik. Agar loadcell dapat mengukur gaya-gaya aerodinamika pada terowongan angin diperlukan komponen sebagai dudukan loadcell yang berfungsi untuk memegang loadcell, dan benda uji sekaligus menempelkan alat ukur gaya pada struktur terowongan angin. Struktur dudukan ini harus dapat menahan gaya-gaya aerodinamika yang terjadi pada benda uji dan mampu meneruskan gaya-gaya tersebut agar dapat dibaca dengan baik oleh loadcell. Aliran fluida dibangkitkan menggunakan propeller dengan rentang kecepatan aliran sebesar 5 - 30 m/s. Hasil pengujian pada kecepatan angin 7,2 m/s, diperoleh nilai koefisien angkat (CL) maksimum adalah 1,377 pada sudut serang 15o dan nilai koefisien hambat (CD) maksimum adalah 0,18 pada sudut serang 14o.

An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of Undergraduate Theology Majors Towards Members Of The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Community
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Williams Jephet
Published: June 2023

Problem and Purpose Research has identified students’ attitudes towards the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community as being determined partly by the students’ understanding of gender identity, and partly by a further mixture of variables that include religiosity, gender, and ethnicity. Most of this previous research has been undertaken in either secular or non-Adventist settings. This present study examines attitudes of undergraduate theology majors at two Adventist universities in North America and the Caribbean. Method A Likert Scale was constructed consisting of eight questions geared to elicit attitudes across a number of areas. Sixty-three students completed the questionnaire. Participating students were enrolled at historically traditional theological Adventist universities in two countries. Results Results identified attitudes among students that were generally mirrored by attitudes in the broader society, as reflected in legislation. Gender and ethnic differences were indicators in student attitudes, with the former variable revealing slightly more conciliatory attitudes among females compared to the males, and the latter variable revealing far less conciliatory attitudes among Afro-Caribbeans than among students from North America. Conclusions The Adventist universities chosen for this research have historically adhered to a traditional stance on the biblical interpretation of gender identity and, as such, they provided a useful platform to observe any student divergence from the historical status quo. This study offers insights into the significant correlation between theology majors’ ethnicity and their attitudes towards members of the LGBT community. The data obtained from administration of the survey instrument revealed this correlation.

Problem Considering that Southern Minas Conference (AMS) growth rate is lower than other fields within the Brazilian Southeast Union (USEB) an investigation was conducted regarding the organizational health, the practices and styles of leadership, as well as the job satisfaction level among AMS pastors. Method The study was conducted among 46 pastors who represent three levels of leadership: Top Leadership, Management and Work Force as established by the research instrument Organizational Leadership Assessment (OLA) that analyses the perception of the participants regarding six key areas of leadership, six levels of organizational health, and job satisfaction level of the Work Force, which was also divided in two groups: ordained and aspiring pastors. Results The study revealed that the participants perceived the AMS organizational health as limited, the leadership style as paternalistic negative, whereas the whole Work Force considered as good the level of job satisfaction. It was also detected that the aspiring pastors perceived the organizational health as moderate and the leadership style as paternalistic positive, whereas the ordained pastors perceived the two aspects as limited and paternalistic positive respectively. Conclusion Through the present research it is possible to conclude that AMS has two main challenges to face: promote growth regarding organizational health towards moderate, excellent and optimal levels, and development regarding leadership style from paternalistic negative towards paternalistic positive and servant leadership. As for job satisfaction, though considered as good, there is also space for growth towards very good.
Sin And Its Place In The Experience Of Suffering: Presenting The Basis For A Sound Theodicy
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Wiens Roman
Published: June 2023

Topic One of the most significant issues in theism is the obvious existence of evil and suffering. Thus many philosophers (especially Atheists) propose this fact alone negates the existence of an all-loving, omnipotent, and caring God. This attacks both the integrity of God and the coherence of the scriptural accounts. In response, theologians around the world proposed theodicies to show that the existence of a God, as portrayed in the Bible, is coherent with suffering in this world. Purpose The different approaches to this problem are categorized in four categories, outlined, and evaluated in one chapter about the most noteworthy theodicies. In the following chapter relevant Bible text passages about sin and Sin, as well as three narratives about suffering are carefully examined and their correlation is established. Because this new basis has some theological, apologetical, and practical consequences, the implications of it will be discussed in another chapter before coming to a final conclusion. Sources Throughout each period of time, there appeared one of (at least) four groups of scholars and theologians who tried to promote their opinion. Some pointed to the educational value, some to God’s foreknowledge, some to our free will, and others to the cosmic conflict behind the scenes. But this study indicates that important biblical aspects have been neglected and a closer examination of biblical narratives reveal the correlation between the creator-creation divide and our suffering. Conclusions A more in-depth study reveals four important biblical principles that are necessary for the basis of a sound theodicy: One, suffering is always fundamentally and directly linked to Sin (the creator-creation divide) as its causation. Two, there is primarily no higher cause for suffering – suffering is pointless. Three, God is mightier than Sin and its consequences. Four, there is always a higher cause for how God acts in our suffering.
Study Of The Ability To Detect Humor In Visual Images By 2-5 Year Olds
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, McFall Sonovia
Published: June 2023

Problem Understanding the impact that humor can have as a form of therapy has been studied mostly in relation to mental and spiritual healing. As a result, little focus has been given to understanding the types of humor and how one’s understanding of and appreciation for types of humor develop over time. Gaining an understanding of humor development is important due to discoveries that the use of humor is a great intervention tool when working with children. Nevertheless, the use of pictures (with humor) is often used within speech therapy sessions, but seldom used correctly due to the lack of understanding of humor development in children. Method This study was carried out by individually removing each participant from the classroom A total of 12 pictures were presented to each child (i.e. three groups of four pictures) via the iPad. When the first photo grid was presented, the experimenter directed the participant’s attention to the reference picture, and created a story line to explain the reference picture. Then the experimenter directed the participant’s attention to the other three pictures by saying, “…Point to the picture that makes you laugh the most.” The participant then selected from the three alternatives, with the expected selection to be the one of incongruency. Each participant was given a range of 0 to 90 seconds to observe each photo grid and select a response. Results A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient showed that there was a positive correlation on all of the dependent variables (types of humor) and some independent variables (i.e. language and gender), as well as between gender and hyperbolic humor type. Repeated measures ANOVA resulted in significant difference in participants’ ability to correctly identify incongruent elements in types of humor based on gender, language and age. A multiple regression analysis was done and resulted in there being a high level of significance for the independent variables age grouping, gender and language skills to operate as successful predictors of overall correct identification of incongruence in the dependent variables. Conclusion It is important to take into consideration the age, gender and type of humor as well as the language skill level of each client, because these aspects could have a major impact on the success or failure of a session and overall work with a client.
Soteriological Specifics in Paul, James, John, and Peter
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Buchner Dominik
Published: June 2023

Topic The ideas of New Testament authors seem to stand in contradiction to each other: some appear to focus on justification by faith, whereas others seems to proclaim that works need to be performed in order to be saved. It is therefore very difficult to deduce relevant practical implications from the doctrine of salvation because it is often explained in a rather superficial and dissatisfactory way. Purpose The development of the interpretation of the doctrine of salvation is outlined in a chapter about church history. In the following chapter relevant Bible text passages in Paul, James, John, and Peter about the doctrine of salvation are examined carefully. Because the doctrine of salvation has some practical and theological consequences, the implications of it will be discussed in another chapter before coming to a final conclusion. Sources Throughout each period of time during church history, there appeared to be two groups of scholars and theologians who tried to convince church members of their opinion. One group tried to emphasize righteousness by faith; the other group stressed the importance of deeds (as New Testament authors appear to do also). But this study indicates that Bible authors actually wrote about the same topic from different points of view. They focused on different aspects that contribute to the whole picture. They did not contradict each other. Conclusions A closer study reveals no theological differences among the different writers’ points of view and approaches concerning the doctrine of salvation. Some of them tried to focus on justification and sanctification in their correct chronological order, some focused on the truthfulness of faith that presents itself through appropriate works, and others emphasized the importance of both aspects to show that they are inseparable.
The Relationship of the Old Covenant to the Everlasting Covenant
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kumar Ashwani
Published: June 2023

Problem The old covenant is often understood to be contrary to the new covenant. A distinction is made by such claims as the following: the old covenant represents the Old Testament, and new covenant represents the New Testament. The old covenant was made with only Israelites while the new covenant is made with the Church. The old covenant was based on works, and the new covenant is based on grace and is better than the old. Purpose The goal of this study is to present evidence that the new covenant was not established because it was different in the content than the old or the old was faulty. This study will seek to demonstrate that the old and new covenants are actually the same in nature or one in kind and belong to the one everlasting covenant. God has only one covenant and He called it My covenant, also known as the “everlasting covenant.” Method The old covenant is often understood as a contract or an agreement but this study will focus on the fact that it was a relationship and will establish the covenant formula of everlasting covenant after an analogy with ANE treaties. The next section will apply this covenant formula to the Abrahamic, the old and the new covenants. The last chapter will deal with the differences and allegations against the old covenant. Conclusions After careful study, it will be presented that God has only one covenant and it is known as the everlasting covenant. The divine covenants with Abraham and Israel, through Moses, along with the new covenant, can be viewed as successive stages of God’s single covenant of redeeming grace that is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The only difference between the old and new covenant is that the things which were shadow: The earthly sanctuary, earthly priest, sacrificial system in the old covenant met their reality in the new covenant. This is not something that stands contrary to the old covenant but serves as a fulfillment of its types and shadows.

Authors: Kumar Anshuman , Singh Kalyani , Sarkar Debasmita , Singh Priyanka
Published: June 2023

Neck lymph node metastasis is the most critical factor influencing the survival and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The outcome of patients with lymph node metastases occurring after excision or radiotherapy of the primary tumor is poor. In the absence of ipsilateral nodal metastases, contralateral lymph neck metastasis is extremely rare. Reports of skip metastases have been recorded for lesions of the tongue and floor of the mouth as there is free communication between the two sides of the tongue. Intraoperative frozen sections of neck nodes have been used as a modality for the detection of occult metastases and to guide the extent of neck dissection but have not provided satisfactory results. The case described in this report is a rare phenomenon that demonstrates a well-lateralized clinically advanced buccal mucosa carcinoma with histologically proven node-negative neck but exhibited contralateral positive neck after a span of 1 month.

Authors: Effendi Tolib , Windari Rusmilawati
Published: June 2023

Tidak adanya batasan tentang pungutan liar yang diatur di dalam Peraturan Presiden 87 Tahun 2016 tentang Satuan Tugas Sapu Bersih Pungutan Liar mengakibatkan aparat penegak hukum, khususnya Satuan Tugas Sapu Bersih Pungutan Liar (Saber Pungli) memberikan batasan yang berbeda-beda dalam menegakkan permasalahan pungutan liar. Pungutan liar diterjemahkan oleh aparat penegak hukum sebagai salah satu bentuk tindak pidana korupsi dan juga tindak pidana pemerasan. Isu yang diangkat dalam penulisan ini adalah bagaimana seharusnya rumusan pungutan liar yang sesuai dengan konsep hukum pidana dan kenyataan di masyarakat serta apakah pungutan liar seharusnya merupakan bagian dari tindak pidana korupsi. Konsep yang dipergunakan untuk mengkaji dalam penelitian ini adalah konsep dasar dalam hukum pidana tentang hukum pidana umum dan hukum pidana khusus. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan, bahwa pemerintah perlu untuk mempertegas batasan dari perbuatan yang dikategorikan sebagai pungutan liar, dan lebih tepat apabila pungutan liar sebagai bagian dari tindak pidana korupsi.
Best practice in aggravating and mitigating factors: Assessment of court decisions on corruption
Authors: Arum Debora Sekar
Published: June 2023

Many court decisions on corruption have contained aggravating and mitigating factors that have left the public wondering. This research aims to find out the standard of best practice in aggravating and mitigating factors on corruption cases and measure the fulfillment of those standards in various court decisions. This normative research utilises the statute, case, and conceptual approaches as well as the qualitative analysis method. The research concluded that, (1) circumstances outside the elements of the crime, (2) circumstances that reflect the seriousness or dangerousness of the crime and the defendant, (3) the motive to commit such crime including internal or external reasons (Correspondence Inference Theory), (4) circumstances related to or surrounding the offence, and (5) circumstances related to the personal condition or reputation of the defendant in the community are the standards of best practice in aggravating and mitigating factors; and, that none of the court decisions examined in this research have cumulatively fulfilled those standards.
Analysis of the effect of corruption prevention on private investment at the district/city level in Indonesia
Authors: Tua Maruli , Mahi Benedictus Raksaka
Published: June 2023

: Several previous studies have shown that there are differences in the effect of corruption prevention on private investment. Corruption eradication by the KPK is expected to have a positive and significant effect on investors' decisions when investing in Indonesia. This research studied the long-term effects of corruption prevention on accumulated private investment at the regional level, using cross-sectional data analysis from 507 districts and cities between 2018-2020. The test was conducted using multiple linear regression with the independent variable being the Monitoring Center for Prevention (MCP) as the corruption prevention index. Using White Robust estimator, the study results prove that corruption prevention has long-term positive and significant effects on overall accumulated investment at the district and city levels. The MCP score of a region was greater than other regions for three years, therefore the accumulated investment was greater. These results encourage an increase of urgency when mainstreaming corruption prevention, proving it to be the right choice for investment in Indonesia. To enable local governments to be involved in corruption eradication, the government is expected to provide sustainable local incentive funds (DID).
Three years of the corruption eradication commission’s institutional reform: A narrative policy analysis
Authors: Pranoto Darmawan , Kurniawan Teguh
Published: June 2023

Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) has been in a dramatic institutional transition since the enactment of the Second Amendment of the CEC Law in 2019, followed by a series of subsequent policies. The policy narrativepresented by the government and the DPR as the policy-making actors is that the policy was carried out to strengthen the performance of the KPK. Meanwhile, counter-narratives emerged that said the opposite. This discourse took place intensively from 2019 to 2022, judging by the number of media reports. As a result of the narrative debate, based on several surveys, the KPK experienced a significant decline in the level of trust from the public. Using the Narrative Policy Analysis, this study poses the question: how does the government construct the KPK's institutional reform policy narrative? This research finds that the government policy narrative is built on distant belief systems, but is not accompanied by adequate positive incentives, resulting in a prolonged polemic. In this study, it is suggested that the government conduct a comprehensive evaluation study of this policy, open a space for open dialogue by involving counter-narrative actors, and conduct a better policy advocacy.

Published: June 2023

Integrity as a concept is usually associated with and measured by one of two separate scopes: personal or organizational. This paper argues that in educational institutions such as schools or universities, integrity measurement should not be done by separating personal and organizational concepts. In addition, integrity in education sector is often discussed just from academic perspective such as cheating, plagiarism or other wrongdoings in classroom or research activity. The measurement concept in this paper also includes non-academic aspects such as administrative services, financial management, and procurement. Educational integrity in this paper combines three concepts which are the character dimension (Istiani, 2015), the Corporate Ethical Value model (Kaptein, 2007), and the classification of corrupt behaviors in education compiled by KPK from various resources (2018). To conclude, the concept of educational integrity should be looked as holistic one which can be assessed from the integrity character of students, the ecosystem that influences them, and also the compliance level of school’s governance. This offered concept tries to fulfill the strategic role in encouraging educational stakeholders to massively and systematically evaluate the achievement of integrity improvement in the education sector, including the human capital result.

Tertiarization process in Croatia
Authors: Peračković Krešimir , Turk Ivo , Šikić Luka
Published: June 2023

This paper analyses a structural change by economic sectors in general and tertiarization process in particular, for the period 1971-2011 in Croatia. It started from the classical economic theory of service sector growth and demographic approach by using the data collected from the population censuses, to analyse long term changes and trends in the sector's structure. The process of tertiarization is usually defined as an increase in the share of service sector employment in total employment and we assume as a continuous long term process, it is influenced by different factors in different periods, and mostly the ones that have accelerated the process of deindustrialization as well in the past. Our results confirm a structural change that favours service sector growth during the whole period, not only in last three transition decades, along with the simultaneous reduction in agricultural and industrial sector shares. The main limitation is fact that those results are just a fundamental but necessary first step based on demographic statistics which reveal some elementary insights useful for further analyses. Scientific assessment of this article is in interdisciplinary approach of explanation of different impacts and specific features of tertiarization process in Croatia since 1970s. Also, the contribution of this paper is at the same time the collection and presentation of a new set of data combined in one article from several sources, which can be the basis for some further research. The results also consider the question if this process was accompanied by the economic growth and development observed in the rich and more developed countries or this shift towards service society with postindustrial division of labour does not come along with expected modernisation and developmental effects.

Published: June 2023

This paper aims to examine the barriers and challenges faced by businesses in Kosovo in terms of access to SMEs funding sources during the pandemic, as well as their impact on the business evaluation of SMEs. Given that more than 99 percent of businesses in Kosovo are SMEs, which are considered essential for economic development, they also contribute to job creation. This study employs a quantitative approach, with reported data provided directly by SMEs via questionnaires. The empirical approach used in the study is ordered logit regression to measure the effect of credit lending, business plan, own investment, donations, and borrowings from family or friends on business evaluation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Empirical results show that credit lending and business plans have a significant positive impact on business evaluation, whereas borrowings from family or friends and donations have a significant negative impact. Despite the study's limitations, we are convinced that it should spark a debate between researchers, academics, and policymakers. The study contains the original value and contribution in the empirical aspect, which is designed on the data provided for Kosovo to evaluate the association between SMEs and the use of funding sources during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Published: June 2023

The paper deals with investing in agriculture based on structured products, which gains an important position in international investment for both institutional and retail investors. The aim of the paper is to present the proposal of two new types of investment certificates, i.e. Twin-Win Outperformance certificates and Capped Twin-Win Outperformance certificates, which belong to the segment of partially guaranteed investment tools due to a security buffer. The advantage the proposed certificates lies in the combination of the features of two certificates into one product. The certificates are described in an analytical form of the profit functions which are derived based on two components, i.e. the underlying asset and the derivative (used European call options and down and knock-out put barrier options) on its underlying asset. The pricing formulas are developed with a specification of the issue price sensitivity on changes in different input parameters. Opportunities to invest in these proposed certificates are being demonstrated in the agricultural market, i.e. Teucrium Corn Fund ETF, where various variants of these certificates are created based on different level of included parameters. The best results are performed with the objective to increasing of the intellectualization of all potential investors in investing to agriculture using corn futures.
“Colarse por la ventana de la novela”: narrativas del retorno de la diáspora afrocaribeña contemporánea
Authors: Stecher Guzmán Lucía
Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza un conjunto de textos de la diáspora afrocaribeña contemporánea a partir de la pregunta por las formas en que la literatura contribuye a crear, actualizar y renovar lo que diversas propuestas teóricas consideran como un rasgo constitutivo de las comunidades diaspóricas: la centralidad que tiene “el retorno reiterado al concepto y/o la realidad del país de origen” (Tölölyan). Se propone que muchas representaciones del retorno participan de la configuración y legitimación de un espacio de enunciación diaspórico, cuyos miembros demandan el derecho a participar de la vida de las sociedades de origen, de destino y también de la diáspora. En un primer momento el artículo analiza el diálogo intertextual de algunos textos contemporáneos con el Cuaderno de un retorno al país natalde Aimé Césaire. Posteriormente se detiene en dos articulaciones del retorno que aparecen frecuentemente en las narrativas estudiadas y que representan posicionamientos antagónicos en relación con las formas de viajar al Caribe: la figura del migrante de retorno comprometido y la del turista.
Raza, género y tiempo libre en Puerto Rico
Authors: Román Medina Giselle
Published: June 2023

En este artículo ejemplifico la actualización de las fantasías turísticas que hacen del Caribe un lugar de tiempo libreen el éxito musical “Calma”, interpretado por Pedro Capó y Farruko. Como contracara menos auspiciosa de tales fantasías, analizo las acusaciones de pereza a sectores de la población puertorriqueña en las canciones “Y no hago más na’”, del Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, y “Calobó y Bambú”, de la Sista, así como en el cuento “Pollito Chicken”, de Ana Lydia Vega. La comparación de estas acusaciones para pensar la generización y racialización del acceso al tiempo libre, hace notorios los límites de expresiones culturales de resistencia descolonizadora o feminista no interseccionales.
Diálogos afro-hemisféricos. Soul music y transnacionalismo negro en contextos afrolatinoamericanos
Authors: Steinitz Matti
Published: June 2023

El auge de los movimientos por la liberación negra en EEUU de los años 1960 y 1970 fue acompañado por el ascenso de la música soul como expresión de una nueva autoafirmación y estética negra. Este artículo explora las huellas de la poco estudiada popularización de los slogans y símbolos del movimiento Black Power por medio de la música soul en contextos afrolatinoamericanos. Se discute tanto el potencial emancipador de estas manifestaciones de un transnacionalismo negro hemisférico como el repudio por parte de intelectuales y élites nacionalistas en Latinoamérica que veían en estos flujos diaspóricos una  amenaza para las ideologías dominantes del mestizaje y de la democracia racial.
