La restauración de la adoración y la alabanza
Authors: Mora Ciangherotti Fernando Adolfo
Published: May 2024

The New Apostolic Reformation (NRA) is a contemporary Christian movement that has a global reach. Thousands of churches are counted among its many, intricate and growing networks. This article aims to show that there are theological and liturgical reasons, contained within the genetic code of contemporary apostolic churches, which constitute a formidable unifying element characteristic of their globalizing culture. One of these influences, constantly mentioned but little formally studied, is the area of ​​praise and worship music (P&W), and its liturgical use in neo-Apostolic churches. For this reason, the article presents briefly the evolution of several theological currents that came together to form the NRA. The following two sections describe how the current characteristics of praise and worship music were developed within the NRA. Finally, five dimensions are proposed that allow us to characterize the praise and worship movement today: the presence of God or P&W sacramentality as inspiration, revival as motivation, technology as an instrument, cultural transformation as mission, and dominion as end goal. It is concluded that, although there is no monolithic doctrinal and liturgical uniformity, it is possible to speak of a culture, theology of worship, ritual language, and practices that unify the NRA worldwide, which facilitates the dissemination of ideas and religious goods within. a highly expansive religious market.

A relação dos imigrantes haitianos evangélicos em São Paulo com o pentecostalismo
Authors: Marcelino Bernadete Alves de Medeiros
Published: May 2024

In 2010, many Haitians arrived in Brazil and the religiosity manifested by them was soon noticed. Many of them were evangelicals and little by little they were forming their Evangelical ethnic communities in differentparts of the Brazilian territory. Among these, Baptists, Adventists, Assembly of God, Rock Solid, amongothers. In São Paulo it was possible to follow some of these communities for a few years. Given this scenario, the objective of this work is to understand the relationship of Evangelical Haitian immigrants in São Paulo with “Pentecostalism”. For ourstudy, we adopted the bibliographic survey and the field experience obtained during the master's and doctoral research among Evangelical Haitians in São Paulo. As a result, we find that Pentecostal practices are common among different groups of Evangelical Haitians. We conclude that the relationship of Evangelical Haitian immigrants in São Paulo with Pentecostalism is expressive, even among those who do not recognize themselves as Pentecostals.
A Colonialidade do Espírito Santo no Pentecostalismo brasileiro
Authors: Correa Marina Aparecida Oliveira dos Santos , Xavier Liniker Henrique
Published: May 2024

This dossier aims to point out the coloniality of Holy Spirit, an integral person of the Divine Trinity, in current Brazilian Pentecostalism, in favor of whiteness in the sphere of power. The research points out that there is a process of invisibilization and erasure that does not allow the rise of black religious agents in Pentecostal communities, even though these religious communities are mostly formed by black people and located in the peripheries. The text seeks to reflect on the theme going through the roots of the foundation of Brazilian Pentecostalism and reaching the present day. We observe similarities with colonial Catholicism when the groups that hold power in Pentecostalism begin to use practices that privilege a white elite group. In this sense, we present broader aspects, addressing different points of view and possibilities to understand the different approaches to the coloniality of Holy Spirit in Brazilian Pentecostalism. Here, we work with the perspective of the Brazilian religious matrix absorbed by the Pentecostal movement and, furthermore, we work on aspects of the existing power frontiers between pastors from the peripheries against the superiority of pastors who are presidents of the Assemblies of God.
Cristão pentecostrafical?
Authors: Gonçalves da Silva Priscila Alves
Published: May 2024

This article aims to discuss how a use of Pentecostalism unfolded, in 2019, in a foundation for performances of religious intolerance with additional territorial dominance in Rio de Janeiro through the so-called Bonde de Jesus", drug traffickers who called themselves Pentecostals. Through bibliographic and documentary research, we aimed to demonstrate that religious intolerance is a constant in the Brazilian religious-political scenario, but the emergence of this group presented considerable novelty because it is an almost unprecedented use of a configuration and an excerpt of Pentecostal theology (spiritual battle) in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. As transversal themes of the mentioned problem, we debate racism, colonization and institutionalization (Government-promoted use) of European Christianity as an acceptable rule of religious-moral behavior.
La palabra profética evangélica-pentecostal
Authors: Mora Ciangherotti Fernando Adolfo
Published: May 2024

This article attempts to trace the trajectory of Pentecostal evangelical prophecy from the private realm of the churches to the public realm of national politics in different parts of the world. Starting from the emergence of the prophetic ministry in contemporary neo-apostolic churches, it is shown how theological and ecclesiological changes have pushed the prophets from the pulpits of the churches, towards the politicization of their messages and their dissemination through different types of media. The article proposes four dimensions of contemporary prophecy: experiential/ritual, doctrinal/moral, cultural/political, and relational/ecological, to describe how prophecy is expressed and how the different dimensions contribute to the elaboration of the discourse of the prophets. Three specific cases, in reference to Venezuela, British Brexit, and Amazonian environmentalism, where political prophecy has come to the forefront and has been taken seriously by evangelical believers are discussed using the proposed dimensions, observing that the change towards a postmillennialist eschatology and the influence of the theology of dominion, propitiated by the New Apostolic Reformation, are present as catalysts for a renewed evangelical political activism.

Religion and Individual in a Traditional Multi-Religious Vietnam
Authors: Hung Nguyen Quang , Lam Nguyen Dinh
Published: May 2024

From ancient times to the present day, religion has played a multifaceted role in human existence, encompassing various aspects of individual life such as rites of passage, daily routines, and the formation of lifestyle. Traditional Vietnamese spiritual practices draw upon a syncretism of Confucianism, Buddhism, and indigenous beliefs, resulting in a cultural landscape where many Vietnamese individuals do not readily identify themselves as adherents to any single religious tradition. This juxtaposition gives rise to a notable paradox within Vietnamese religious life. While there may appear to be a lack of overt religious devotion in daily practices, religion manifests itself prominently in nearly all significant events in Vietnamese life. This article aims to explore the presence of these traditional religions in Vietnam to elucidate the underlying reasons for this paradox within traditional Vietnamese individual life.

An Application of Multi-Factor Model on Anomaly in China Stock Market
Authors: Li Jian-Fa , Lin Zi-Cheng
Published: May 2024

The traditional finance theories have been foundational in understanding financial markets. However, the discovery of anomalies has posed challenges to the established theories. These anomalies, including the equity premium puzzle, scale effect, overreaction, and reversal effect, have questioned classical finance theories. In response to these challenges, the field of behavioral finance emerged, offering insights into market behavior from the perspective of investor psychology and cognitive biases. Our paper contributes to this ongoing dialogue by examining 37 anomalies in the Chinese stock market. It seeks to understand the existence of these anomalies and evaluate the ability of asset pricing models to explain them. Our findings suggest that these models have substantial explanatory power, offering valuable insights for wealth management institutions in attributing investment performance. We underscores the importance of continuously refining financial theories to better capture the complexities of real-world markets and informs practical investment strategies in an ever-changing landscape.
Social Work Services – An Effective Intervention in Dealing with Problems of Families having Children with Autism
Authors: Hai Nguyen Trung , Ngoc Vu Thuy
Published: May 2024

In Vietnam, autism has only been known for more than 10 years but has quickly become a problem of social concern. Although there is no officially published data from 2000 to now, the number of children diagnosed and treated with autism in care facilities is increasing, each year is higher than the previous year (General Statistics Office, 2019).   Research results also show that families with children with autism are facing many problems such as financial difficulties, lack of care knowledge, stress, fatigue, and discord in the family (Morris, Muskat, Greenblatt, 2018; Newsome, 2001). Models of care, intervention, and support for children with autism and their families around the world are moving towards a holistic approach and emphasize on the providing of social work services because these services range from Prevention, Intervention, Restoration and Development content for children with autism and their families (Strunk, Leisen & Schubert, 2017; Shuai, 2018). In Vietnam, social work as a profession is still quite young when it was officially recognized as a profession through Decision No. 32/2010/QD-TTg “Development of the social work profession in the period 2010 – 2020” and recently continued to be developed in Decision 112/2021/QD/TTg “Social work development program for the period 2021-2030”. However, the national report summarizing 10 years of social work development shows that social work plays a major role in supporting disadvantaged groups (Department of Social Protection, 2021). Through assessment based on 150 parents having children with autism in care facilities in Hanoi, Hochiminh and Quangninh, this study aims to discuss problems of family having children with autism and recommend effective social work services to support them in this current context.
NGA PERIFERIA NË PERIFERI: SHPËRBËRJA E BASHKIMIT SOVJETIK DHE TRANZICIONI PERANDORAK NË SHQIPËRI E BALLKAN
Authors: Hoxha Artan
Published: May 2024

Shembja e Bashkimit Sovjetik dhe rënia e regjimeve komuniste shënon një pikë të rëndësishme kthese në historinë europiane. Me fundin e Luftës së Ftohtë filloi edhe zgjerimi gradual i Bashkimit Europian drejt Lindjes dhe përfshirjen brenda tij të pjesës më të madhe të ish-vendeve komuniste. Europa Lindore, me të cilën kuptohej zona sovjetike e influencës, u shndërrua jo vetëm në një hapësirë të zgjerimit të ndikimit të BE-së, por u përfshi edhe në pjesën më të madhe të kufijve brenda kësaj të fundit. Në këtë kuptim, sikundër ka argumentuar Jan Zielonka, Bashkimi Europian shfaq karakteristikat e një perandorie që priret të shtrijë kufijtë e tij drejt periferive. Ballkani, e për rrjedhim edhe Shqipëria, si lagje e jashtme e BE-së është kthyer në një zonë ku struktura europiane kërkon të vendosë kontrollin e saj. Zgjerimi i Bashkimit Europian nuk ka vijuar pa pengesa dhe ndikimi i tij po rivalizohet nga aktorë të rinj që duan ta kthejnë Ballkanin në zonën e tyre të influencës - sikundër është rasti i Rusisë dhe i Turqisë. Krahas me këto dinamika, ka ecur paralelisht edhe fundi i parimit vestfalian i sovranitetit kombëtar. Edhe pse ende larg anëtarësimit në BE, Shqipëria vijon të këmbëngulë të bëhet pjesë e klubit europian si dhe është futur pa asnjë ngurrim në globalizmin neoliberal. Këto zhvillime dëshmojnë këputjen e rëndësishme historike që ka kryer Shqipëria e sotme në raport me atë të përpara vitit 1991. Ndryshimet e rëndësishme strukturore në Europë, prekën sa Ballkanin aq edhe Shqipërinë.
TERRENI I NJË PARTNERITETI: MODELI SOCIALIST KINEZ DHE RRUGËTIMI EKONOMIK I SHQIPËRISË NË PERIUDHËN E HERSHME TË LUFTËS SË FTOHTË
Authors: Marku Ylber
Published: May 2024

Bazuar kryesisht në burimet arkivore shqiptare, ky artikull eksploron implikimet e bashkëpunimit ekonomik të Shqipërisë me Kinën gjatë fundit të viteve 1950 dhe fillimit të viteve 1960. Punimi tregon se në vendimet e Shqipërisë për ndryshimin e aleancave, përllogaritjet ekonomike kanë qenë po aq të rëndësishme sa konsideratat politike. Artikulli argumenton se vënia e theksit mbi industrializimin e rëndë, mobilizimin e masave dhe parimin e mbështetjes në forcat e veta, nga ana e Kinës, ishte tërheqës për planet ekonomike afatgjata të udhëheqësve shqiptarë. Ky qëndrim u përforcua edhe më shumë pasi ndarja e punës në Këshillin e Ndihmës Ekonomike Reciproke (KNER) e la Shqipërinë në skajet e integrimit ekonomik të bllokut sovjetik europian, duke e zhvendosur atë në një zhvillim të bazuar në bujqësi. Artikulli gjithashtu argumenton se, megjithëse nuk pati një transferim thelbësor teknologjik midis Kinës dhe Shqipërisë gjatë viteve 1950, ato vite shërbyen për Shqipërinë si një periudhë studimi i sistemit socialist kinez, i cili përfundimisht u përshtatej synimeve politike dhe ekonomike të liderëve shqiptarë më shumë se ai sovjetik. Marrëdhëniet ekonomike me Kinën hapën rrugë të reja tregtare për Shqipërinë, duke e lidhur potencialisht ekonominë e Shqipërisë me tregje të reja dhe me flukset ndërkombëtare të mallrave. Megjithatë, këto mundësi mbetën plotësisht të pashfrytëzuara për shkak të mangësive ekonomike të vetë Shqipërisë, kapaciteteve të kufizuara industriale dhe infrastrukturës së dobët.

Objectives: Aspiration pneumonia is a common complication in patients with stroke, having a negative influence on morbidity and mortality. This study sought to assess the frequency of aspiration pneumonia and the independent predictors for its development among Nigerian patients with stroke. Methods: Five hundred and twenty-four stroke patients were prospectively enrolled during the study period at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri, from January 2005 and May 2011. All patients who developed aspiration pneumonia during hospital stay and follow-up were recorded. A student’s t-test and a Pearson chi-square analysis was used to compare baseline characteristics of subjects who developed aspiration pneumonia and those who did not. A multiple logistic regression was used to assess the independent predictors of aspiration pneumonia. We also recorded the rate of deaths and duration hospital stay within this period. Results: Aspiration pneumonia occurred in 65 (12.4%) of our stroke patients, A univariate analysis showed that patients with aspiration pneumonia were older (P<0.001), had a lower Glasgow coma score on presentation (P<0.001), were more likely to have swallowing (P<0.001) and speech problems (P=0.003). They were also more likely to have severe stroke (NIHSS, P<0.001) and disability (mRDS, P<0.001; Barthel’ ADL index, P<0.001) both on admission and discharge. They had a higher 60 - day fatality (75.4% versus 9.4%; P<0.001) and a lower duration of stay (25.3±17.5 versus 34.6±28.3; P=0.01). Factors associated with the development of aspiration pneumonia are; Age > 60 years (OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.37 - 3.91; P=0.002); Initial GCS≤12 (OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 2.60 - 8.00; P<0.001); dysphagia (OR, 12.1; 95% CI, 6.50 - 22.70; P<0.001); dysphasia (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.29 - 3.70; P=0.004); admission mRDS≥4 (OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.43 - 11.50; P=0.008); admission NIHSS≥11 (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.34 - 4.66; P=0.004); admission Barthel’ ADL index <30 (OR, 16.9; 95% CI , 4.07 - 70.29; P<0.001). Conclusion: Aspiration pneumonia is a common complication in our stroke patients. Decline in consciousness, swallowing and speech difficulties, and severe strokes are associated with the development of aspiration pneumonia.

Aim of the study. dynamic evaluation of carotid arteries’ patency and of cerebral hemodynamics indexes with the use of Dupplex sonography (DS) after surgical correction of high grade carotid sthenosis. Material and methods. The study enrolled 62 patients from 43 to 84 years old with high grade stenotic lesions of carotid arteries (over 60% narrowing). All patients underwent angioplasty and carotid artery stenting (CAS) in 2003-2011, in some of this cases carotid endarterectomy (CEA) also was performed . DS and digital subtraction angiography were applied for assessment of carotid stenosis severity and plaque morphology. As well, values of linear and blood flow volume were defined, data of total cerebral BF volume, carotid-carotid index were calculated. Results. Patients with occlusive-stenotic carotid artery lesions, which need surgical treatment, ultrasound DS reveals significant impairment of cerebral BF characteristics ( presence of stenotic velocities in narrowed arterial segment, substantial increase of carotid-carotid index ). Surgical treatment (CAS, sometimes CAS+CEA) improves hemodynamic characteristics after intervention, it results in restoring of carotid artery patency, eliminating stenotic type of BF in affected arterial segment, and normalizing value of carotid-carotid index. Ultrasound DS has high precision in diagnostics of carotid artery stenotic lesions, in assessment of stent position and ICA passability after intervention and in evaluation of effectiveness of intervention. In patients with contralateral ICA occlusion after correction of high grade another ICA stenosis we observe an improvement of carotid and vertebro-basillar BF.

ANTIPLATELET THERAPY: NEW INSIGHTS ON THE SECONDARY PREVENTION OF STROKE
Authors: García-Rafanell Julián , Borja Javier
Published: May 2024

Antiplatelet agents represent an important part of the therapeutic armamentarium in the prevention of stroke. Among them, aspirin is the gold standard but its chronic use has been associated with gastric intolerance, gastrointestinal and systemic hemorrhages and drug-resistance. Triflusal is a new antiplatelet agent from the family of salicylates but is not derived from aspirin and has a more selective mechanism of action : inhibition of thromboxane A2 in the platelet with no effect on prostacyclin biosynthesis in the endothelium. In the quest for the search of new antiplatelet agents, triflusal has shown a similar relative risk reduction than aspirin for the prevention of stroke but with reduced severe hemorrhagic side effects. The efficacy and better safety profile of triflusal vs aspirin in the secondary prevention of stroke has been demonstrated in major, randomized and double blind clinical trials and confirmed after a long term study with a mean follow up of 17 years, as well as in a Cochrane meta-analysis. Aspirin, but not triflusal, increased antihypertensive therapy requirements during long term treatment in the secondary prevention of stroke. In patients with atrial fibrillation, the combination of oral anticoagulants with triflusal has shown increased efficacy versus the standard oral single anticoagulation treatment with no increase of haemorrhagic risk. Studies have shown that the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with the use of triflusal was negligible whereas the hemorrhagic risk associated with the use of aspirin, including low doses aspirin, was evident. Triflusal was well tolerated in asthmatic patients with aspirin-exacerbated –respiratory-diseases. The efficacy of triflusal in secondary prevention of stroke and its better safety profile when compared to aspirin has been recognized in important International Guidelines including the European Stroke Organization Guidelines.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the structural model of risky behaviors based on attention, memory, and inhibition systems with the mediating role of emotion regulation in female drug users. Methods: This research was descriptive-correlational and employed structural equation modeling. The study population consisted of all drug users (marijuana) in Isfahan who visited addiction treatment centers during 2023. The sample included 200 female drug users (marijuana) selected through convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Attention and Memory Improvement Software, Wechsler's Clinical Memory Test, the Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scales (Carver & White, 1994), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006), and the Risk-Taking Behavior Questionnaire (Lejuez, 2002). In this study, descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to organize, summarize, and describe the characteristics of the participants and research variables. In the inferential statistics section, structural equation modeling and Pearson correlation methods were employed for data analysis using SPSS.22 and AMOS.22 software. Findings: Fit indices 0.599=PCFI, 0.611=PNFI, 2.88=CMIN/DF, 0.072=RMSEA, 0.913=IFI, 0.920=CFI, and 0.909=GFI indicated a good fit of the proposed model with the data. Hence, the proposed model is suitably fitted. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that the structural model of risky behaviors based on the attention system with the mediating role of emotion regulation fits well for drug-using individuals.

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate marital burnout and to determine the effectiveness of a communication skills training protocol. Methods: The experimental method employed was a single-subject design with multiple baselines, involving couples seeking counseling at the Raz City Clinic in Shiraz and the Clinic of the General Directorate of Exceptional Education in Fars Province, during the autumn of 2021. Among these couples, three pairs exhibiting the highest levels of marital burnout were selected using a purposive sampling method. The therapeutic program of the communication skills training protocol was conducted by the researcher over 10 sessions, followed by a follow-up in two stages, one month apart. The participants responded to the Marital Burnout Scale at the baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up stages. Data were analyzed using visual analysis methods, the recovery percentage formula, and the reliable change index. Findings: Findings indicated that the communication skills training protocol enhanced marital quality and reduced marital burnout, with these effects being maintained during the follow-up phase. Conclusion: The treatment protocol proved to be effective, and couple therapists can utilize these communication skills in their work with couples to reduce marital burnout and enhance marital quality, particularly during the early years of marriage, where it can have a significant impact.
How does the Loosening Policy of Stock Index Futures Affect the Asymmetric Effect of Futures and Spot Markets
Authors: Liu Jiashu
Published: May 2024

By constructing EGARCH (1,1) model, this paper uses the logarithmic returns of CSI 300, SSE 50 and CSI 500 stock index futures in the capital market from 2016 to 2023 to study the leverage effect of each loosening policy on the futures and spot markets. The study found that after the futures market experienced the restriction policy in 2015, the three loosening policies did not cause the market to form an asymmetric effect, and the promulgation of the fourth and fifth loosening policies successfully restored the leverage effect of the market. The reason may be that the first three loosening policies have a short time span and low intensity, and fail to effectively schedule investor sentiment to increase futures trading volume. At the same time, through the Granger causality test, it is found that the information transmission function of the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 stock index futures market has not been effectively 'repaired'.

With the continuous evolution of society and culture, the purchasing inclination of the new generation of consumers towards traditional cultural products has undergone significant changes. Despite in-depth research by domestic scholars on variables such as traditional cultural elements and flow experience, their actual impact in the modern consumer market has not received sufficient attention. This study, aiming to explore the intrinsic connection between traditional cultural elements, flow experience, and purchase intention of Z-generation consumers, takes flow experience as a mediator and purchase intention as the dependent variable. Through in-depth analysis of questionnaire survey data using SPSS 26.0 software, this paper confirms the significant positive impact of traditional cultural elements on purchase intention and reveals the mediating role of flow experience in this process. The research results indicate that as the main force of the new generation of consumers, Z-generation consumers deeply identify with and love traditional cultural elements, preferring to purchase products incorporating these elements and experiencing the joy of flow experience during use. This provides new opportunities for the development and application of traditional cultural element products in modern society. Based on this, this paper proposes a series of strategic recommendations, including integrating traditional cultural elements into product design, enhancing consumer participation, and blending traditional culture with modern consumption trends through innovative means to meet the needs of Z-generation consumers.

With the advent of the information age and the rapid progress of technology, it has become inevitable for enterprises to move towards digital transformation. Energy is one of the most vital material bases for national economic and social development, which plays a vital role in national economic growth. How to use energy efficiently has been the core factor to measure the sustainable development potential of an enterprise. Based on the data of listed companies in China, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of enterprise informatization on energy efficiency from different perspectives. Studies have shown that the degree of enterprise informatization has a direct relationship with its energy efficiency. At present, the overall informatization of enterprises in various regions of China is low. However, with the continuous popularization of digital technology and applications, it has a certain inhibitory effect on enterprise energy consumption, with the effect becoming more and more apparent. Especially during the digital transformation, the role of state-owned enterprises in promoting total factor energy consumption has been more significant. Therefore, from the perspective of digital transformation, it is of great significance to study the energy efficiency of state-owned enterprises. This research explores the significant differences in energy efficiency among various industries, and the adoption of digital transformation strategies will help narrow these differences and further promote energy efficiency improvement across the industry. In addition, through the analysis of typical cases, this topic reveals the main problems faced by enterprises in the process of digital transformation and their causes, which puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions. This study can provide a solid theoretical basis for the positive role played by Chinese enterprises and related departments during the digital transformation.
