KEBANGKITAN ORANG MATI MENURUT I KORINTUS 15:12-34 DAN IMPLIKASI ETISNYA BAGI ORANG PERCAYA
Authors: Lumintang Danik Astuti
Published: February 2022

Doktrin kebangkitan merupakan dasar atau sentral pemberitaan dari iman kristen, karena itu, doktrin kebangkitan merupakan keunikan Kristen yang tiada tandingnya. Memang, doktrin kebangkitan orang mati bukanlah monopoli agama Kristen, karena agama-agama dan aliran lain, misalnya: agama Islam, Hindu, Budha dan aliran kebatinan, serta agama Suku memiliki konsep masing-masing.1 Yang jelas, bahwa doktrin Kristen mengenai kebangkitan berbeda sama sekali dengan doktrin kebangkitan agama-agama lain, aliran-aliran kepercayaan bahkan pandangan filsafat. Kesamaan yang ada hanyalah kesamaan istilah, sedangkan sumber dan konsepnya berbeda. Tetapi karena tulisan ini bukanlah studi perbandingan agama, maka perbedaan konsep ini tidak akan dibahas lebih lanjut. Doktrin kebangkitan menurut ajaran kristiani adalah doktrin yang unik, karena Alkitab yang adalah sumber dogma menyatakan bahwa kebangkitan orang percaya (Gereja) adalah kebangkitan tubuh. Tidak ditemukan di dalam ajaran lain mana pun juga. Kebangkitan Kristus yang menjadi dasar kebangkitan orang percaya adalah unik. Kendatipun demikian di kalangan Kristen sendiri masih menjadi pokok perdebatan yang seru, antara dongeng dan fakta, antara spiritual dan jasmaniah, antara bohong dan benar. Perdebatan ini sesungguhnya sudah dimulai sejak zaman Tuhan Yesus.2 Hal ini disebabkan oleh karena perbedaan pandangan atau konsep di antara orang Kristen sendiri. Perbedaan-perbedaan yang ada ini disebabkan oleh perbedaan hermeneutika yang dipakai, dan perbedaan latar belakang yang mempengaruhi masing-masing pandangan tersebut, bahkan perbedaan konteks zaman dan tempat dimana doktrin itu dibicarakan atau diajarkan. Karena itu, penulis sengaja membahas lagi topik kebangkitan orang mati ini dalam 1Korintus 15:12-58 untuk menggali kebenaran alkitabiah mengenai doktrin ini, sekaligus menemukan implikasinya etisnya bagi kehidupan orang percaya (Gereja).
DAMAI SEJAHTERA MENANTI KIAMAT Matius 25:14-30
Authors: Manaransyah Awasuning
Published: February 2022

Kiamat merupakan satu isu yang tidak ada habis-habisnya dibicarakan dari waktu ke waktu. Kiamat selalu digambarkan dengan keadaan yang sangat mengerikan, yang mana terjadi kehancuran bumi dan kebinasaan seluruh makhluk hidup. Sehingga ketika seseorang mendengar istilah kiamat, maka yang muncul dalam pikirannya adalah suatu gambaran peristiwa yang sangat menyeramkan dan menakutkan. Tapi saya yakin bahwa Saudara sudah pernah mendengar begitu banyak isu tentang datangnya kiamat. Dan respon setiap orang yang mendengar isu itu pun berbeda-beda. Prinsip-prinsip penting antara lain: Ucapan Syukur, Mari kita menjalani hidup ini dengan penuh ucapan syukur, karena Tuhan telah mengaruniakan talenta-Nya kepada kita masing-masing; Menemukan Talenta, Siapapun kita, terutama yang percaya dan mengenal Tuhan Yesus, pasti ada talenta tertentu yang Tuhan telah karuniakan kepada kita masing-masing. Maka langkah pertama yang dapat kita lakukan adalah menemukan talenta apa yang Tuhan berikan kepada kita masing-masing; Bekerja Keras, Kita harus meninggalkan kebiasaan santai, malas, hidup tanpa tujuan dan mari kita mengembangkan kebiasaan “berani bermimpi”, berani melangkah dan bekerja keras, maksimal bahkan berusaha sampai “sempurna”. Kita harus berani berinovasi melayani pekerjaan Tuhan, dan Senantiasa Siap Diaudit, Mulai dan akhiri setiap hari dengan ucapan syukur dan menyerahkan diri kepada Tuhan Yesus, jalani hidup sesuai dengan rencana dan kehendak Tuhan Yesus. Apabila Tuhan Yesus datang secara tiba-tiba, kita didapati berkenan di hadapan-Nya. Amin.

A study of the Ichthyofaunal diversity of the River Nun Estuary, Nigeria was conducted for one calendar year. This was done in order to update the inventory of the fish species and to specify distribution patterns in the River Nun ichthyofauna in order to establish some basis for pollution prevention and the conservation of these fish communities and their habitat. Fishes were collected monthly from six sampling sites of the River Nun Estuary with the help of local skilled fishers. Cast nets, scoop nets, gill nets, beach seine nets, pole seine nets, and hooks and lines were used for capturing fish. Different fish species were collected from fishers at the different fish landings. photographs were immediately taken with the help of a digital camera. Fishes brought to laboratory were preserved in 10% formalin solution. All fish species were identified to genus and species level using taxonomic keys and standard literature. 60 species of fish that belong to 48 different genera and 27 families were recorded during the study. The families Cichlidae and Gobiidae had the highest number of species (7 species each) followed by the families Claroteidae, Carangidae, Mugilidae, and Characidae (which had 4 species each), Polynemidae (with 3 species), and Clupeidae Tetraodontidae, Carangidae, Sclaenidae (with 2 species each). The families Hepsedae, Dasyatidae, Soleidae, Elopidae, Monodactylidae, Lobotidae, Periophthalmidae, Ophichthidae, Soleidae, Cynoglossidae, Tetraodontidae, Serranidae, Clupeidae, Carangidae, and Haemulidae had just one species. Ethmalosa fimbriata(Bonga shad) of the of the Order Clupeiformes and family Clupeidae was the most abundant species of the River Nun estuary, followed by Pseudotolithus (Foniticulus) elongates (Croaker) of the family Sclaenidae, Periophthalmus barbarous/ papilio (Atlantic mudskipper) of the family Periophthalmidae, Mugil curema (White mullet), Mugil bananensis (Banana mullet), and Liza grandisquamis (Sickle fin mullet) of the family Mugilidae. It can be concluded that the ichthyofaunal composition of the River-Nun compares favorably with other Rivers of similar relevance.There is no cause for concern by all stakeholders about its ecological health and its fishery.

Authors: Maheen M , Nisa Khair Un , Sultan Muhammad Faisal
Published: February 2022

This study is based on applied research and intends to find out the impact of entrepreneurial education on the behaviour of university students with the mediation of intentions of students toward entrepreneurship. Although there are several studies associated with the topic, but the paper is unique because the data is based upon a specific geographical location, Karachi which is a metropolitan city of Pakistan. There is a severe dearth of entrepreneurial mindset in Pakistan and investigative studies related to the region in previous literature. The data for this study has been collected through a close-ended questionnaire. The study is pervasive in nature as the study is potent in the increase of knowledge in the area of business as well as universities. However, the study was supplemented with some limitations as the data collected from a developing country like Pakistan was not coherent with other economies. Although the value of the paper is not overshadowed, this can be used for applicative reasoning for universities and other academies. The sample size for the study is 150 to 200 software houses that have been used for the purpose of data analysis. However, the paper is supported by descriptive as well as inferential analysis in order to make the findings of the study potent and reliable enough. The use of the software indicates that there is a relationship between entrepreneurial education and the behavior of university students toward entrepreneurship.

抗NMDA（N-methyl-D-aspartate）受體腦炎是當人體自身免疫系統產生的抗體攻擊大腦中的NMDA型谷氨酸受體所導致的自體免疫腦炎。發病初期會出現精神症狀，常沒有神經影像學，腦波或腦脊髓液檢查的異常。它很容易被誤診為原發性精神疾病或其他疾病，像是抗精神病藥物惡性症候群（Neuroleptic maligmant syndrome,NMS）、病毒性腦炎、惡性緊張症、藥物濫用、裝病等。抗NMDA受體腦炎症狀與NMS幾乎完全相似不容易被鑑別診斷。自2007年開始因免疫醫學的進步，才終於可以被明確診斷，在此之前有許多病人因為沒有被診斷出抗NMDA受體腦炎而終身被當成精神病人。本案例詳述一位19歲年輕女性出現急性精神異常症狀，自發病、治療、到確診為抗NMDA受體腦炎的經過，並探討疾病的經過、治療的反應及診斷的困難。

 

Anti N-methyl-D-aspartate antibody encephalitis (Anti-NMDA antibody encephalitis) develops when such antibody binds and damages NMDA receptors in the brain. Psychiatric symptoms and signs,such as hallucination, acute psychosis and delusional state, are often found as early clinical presentations,rather than brain lesion that can be found on neuroimaging. The CSF and EEG studies are often normal, thus such cases are easily misdiagnosed as acute psychosis, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), viral encephalitis, substance abuse, or malingering. In fact, the symptoms and signs of anti-NMDA antibody encephalitis and NMS are almost identical, making it especially difficult to diagnose. From Since 2007, thanks to the advances of Immunology, such autoimmune encephalitis is now able to be diagnosed accurately. In the past, lots of victims were treated as psychotics when anti-NMDA antibody was not able to be detected. In this case report, we illustrated the clinical presentation, disease progress, responses to treatment, and how the final diagnosis of anti-NMDA encephalitis was made on a 19 years old female who developed acute psychosis.

El uso de diferentes alternativas para la construcción implica de igual manera un correcto análisis y diseño aplicando normativas y recomendaciones, con el fin de obtener estructuras sismorresistentes. La presente investigación tuvo como finalidad evaluar comparativamente doce modelos estructurales con diferentes tipos de cubiertas (dos, cuatro y múltiples aguas), separadas en Hormigón Armado y Steel Framing. Mismos que cumplieron con los parámetros sismorresistentes establecidos en la NEC-SE-DS-2015. Los resultados obtenidos fueron evaluados mediante gráficas analíticas y comparativas que demostraron que las estructuras de Steel framing son significativamente más livianas con respecto al Hormigón Armado encontrando una disminución del 94,1 %; lo que influye directamente con los cortantes dinámicos y estáticos. El sistema Steel framing es de baja ductilidad, eso no significa que sea un material que no resista fuerzas sísmicas ya que es un sistema de masa reducida y de gran rigidez debido a que se colocan arriostramientos diagonales en los paneles de los muros, esto permite que las oscilaciones de un sismo sean de alta frecuencia en periodos muy bajos concluyendo que las estructuras son adecuadas.

Plants may not have optimum growth hormone production potential under suboptimal growth and environmental conditions. The exogenous application of microbes is a potential and economical source of plant hormones. A laboratory trial was performed to evaluate the hormone biosynthesis potential of several soil microbes. Rhizobium sp. (Rhizobium trifolii, Rhizobium etli, Rhizobium meliloti, Rhizobium ciceri, Azorhizobium caulinodans, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Rhizobium vulgaris, and Rhizobium phaseoli) were isolated from root nodules of various legumes and were biochemically characterized. Absorption spectroscopy (535, 254 and 665 nm λ) was used to quantify indole acetic acid (IAA), gibberellin and cytokinin production of different Rhizobium species. B3 isolate of Rhizobium trifolii had yielded (14.54 and 21.37 µg mL-1) IAA equivalents without and with L-tryptophan (L-TRP) supplement, that was statistically at par with same species while significantly greater than other Rhizobium isolates. Gibberellin production was found statistically non-significant in all isolates. Rhizobium phaseoli (Vp1) yielded 1.68 µg mL-1 cytokinin that was at par with the same species isolates and with Rhizobium trifolii but was critically greater in amount than other species. It was concluded that Rhizobium plays a vital role in plant growth and development can produce auxin and gibberellins, but some could produce cytokinin.

Authors: Shakil Muhammad , Mujahid Abdul Majid , Mahmood Farrukh , Asif Muhammad , Ilyas Muhammad
Published: February 2022

Background: Renal arterial waveform analysis done via renal Duplex Doppler Ultrasound gives a safe, trustworthy, and real time assessment of renal hemodynamics without any delay and ambiguity as it removes various components that make estimation of renal function problematic. Objective: To evaluate the clinical validity of RI and to identify the relationship between RI and RFT’s for evaluation of renal function in patient. Analytical cross sectional examination was done at DHQ teaching hospital Sargodha from 2020 to 2021. The it had 158 hepatitis C positive patients and 79 healthy volunteers following approval of summary. After validation of inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients were broken in into 4 groups (A to D) according to stage of disease and controls were kept in Group E. Grey scale ultrasonography test for renal measurements and renal echogenicity was done. Sagittal and axial scans was done in supine posture from anterior approach utilizing liver and spleen as an acoustic window. The size and texture of liver was also assessed. Color Doppler was done to calculate Resistive Index (RI) using conventional curvilinear probe. Results: The serum creatinine and urea levels in the diseased groups were greater than those in the control group. It was individuals in Group-D who had the highest creatinine levels, which were followed by those in Groups C, B, and A, respectively. The greatest Urea level was found in Group-D, at 49.6714.19, while the lowest was found in Group-A. The mean RI in sick groups (the highest was in Group D, with values of 0.78 and 0.81 in the right and left kidneys, respectively) was similarly statistically substantially greater. Conclusion: An important connection exists between RI and RFT. The use of Doppler duplex ultrasonography for the study of renal hemodynamics in cirrhotic patients with HCV is a reliable, non-invasive, simple, immediate, and cost-effective method for examining renal hemodynamics in these patients. It is not essential to have clinical symptoms or deviations from RFTs for this test to be more accurate than RFTs at predicting disease development.

Don’t Get Boxed In By Your Thought Process
Authors: Davis Lessie
Published: February 2022

Have you ever scanned the Table of Contents of a new Wildlife Rehabilitation Bulletin and thought to yourself, “Nope, nothing on my species, so nothing in here for me!”? If so, you may be missing useful information that does relate to your rehabilitation work. Helpful hints or new ideas can often be found even within papers that appear, at first glance, to be utterly unrelated to your topic of interest. Rehabilitators working with different species still have many more similarities than differences, and relevant information can turn up in the most unexpected places. Think twice before discounting information simply because of the packaging. Creative readers, like scavengers for good ideas, can sniff out and take home what is helpful to them, to modify for their own purposes. Reading this way simply requires some imagination and the ability to ‘read outside the box.’ Follow me, as we take a short journey through this issue of the Bulletin to seek out tips that would be useful for a rehabilitator of almost any species.
Reward Caring with Education, not Condemnation
Authors: Fox Wendy
Published: February 2022

Recently the popular morning talk show Live with Regis & Kelly, seen by four to six million people nationwide each day, showed Kelly caring for a baby robin she had found. She had the bird in a shoebox and was feeding it bread and milk. The immediate concern of the rehabilitation community was  obvious; millions of people had now seen a celebrity ‛instructing’ the public on how to raise a baby bird. On behalf of NWRA I spoke with Live and was given the following information: the bird was transferred to a rehabilitator, they spoke with USFWS and NY State for information on regulations, and they were inundated with phone calls and faxes from rehabilitators and concerned members of the public. The following day they corrected the information.
Well-being and Social Sustainability, Cross-Cultural Validation of an Emotional Metacognition Traits Scale in Brazilian Adolescents
Authors: Vaquero-Diego Maria , Botey Maria , Molina Schnorr Samuel , Rodrigues Ernani Vassoler
Published: February 2022

In this work we aimed to examine the reliability and validity of a trait scale on emotional meta-cognition in a large number of subjects (> 11, 000 adolescent students) from a private school network in Brazil. Following up previous validation of the same scale in Europe, we proceed a cross-cultural work in order to analyze its feasibility in assessing the interpersonal emotional intelligence. The study was proceeded during the 2017 academic year, in São Paulo, Brazil. The process included translations and peer content validation of all items from original scale, pilot study in a small sample and the broad survey hereby reported. We, then, proceeded a internal consistency measurement and a factorial analysis, both exploratory and confirmatory. Once the analyses have been carried out we compared emergent dimensions raised from the present research to the original ones, validating the instrument in its majority for the measurement of emotional intelligence in a new cultural set, as well as elucidating subtle differences seen in few items. Considering the sample size, subject cultural diversity and items loads in each factor, we conclude the scale used is an useful tool for mapping the perceived emotional intelligence in Brazilian adolescents, which encourages self-knowledge and informs of the needs in emotional competencies and self-development.
The Impact of the Small Business Institute® (SBI) on Students, Faculty, Clients, and Other Stakeholders: Personal Reflections From Metropolitan State University of Denver
Authors: Bechtold David , Hoffman David Lynn , Holt Andrew , Melnick Adam , Murphy Ann , Prater Rebecca
Published: February 2022

Higher education is increasingly criticized for its expense, decline in student performance, lack of accountability and transparency, and declines in student performance and learning. The Small Business Institute’s ® (SBI) Programs can meet some of these criticisms with its conferences, journals, and experiential learning. Research has found that SBI students build much needed interpersonal skills (soft skills) and retain information longer than other traditional teaching techniques such as lectures. The benefits of experiential learning include team skills, interpersonal relationships, economic development, and evidence of an institution’s social impact. This article explains Metropolitan State University of Denver’s SBI program and how it led to a Center for Entrepreneurship, a Major in Entrepreneurship, and a Minor in Entrepreneurship. In addition, it has provided several MSU Denver faculty and students with many of their career needs including research, service, and teaching.
Comentario a Alberto Vergara. Ni amnésicos ni irracionales: una mirada al electorado peruano a partir de las elecciones de 2006
Authors: Montes-Pastor Iván Nicolás
Published: February 2022

Alberto Vergara es sin duda uno de los politólogos de vanguardia dentro del acotado campo de investigadores que alberga la ciencia política peruana. A lo largo de su obra, la pluma del autor pone en evidencia sus innegables capacidades intelectuales para conjugar o, mejor dicho, aplicar las teorías más abstractas a un caso empírico en concreto. En este análisis, Vergara toma como objeto de estudio las elecciones peruanas celebradas en el año 2006.

Early Intervention for an AtRisk 16-Month Old Using Visual Communication Analysis (VCA) Leads to Gifted Performance
Authors: AH Sandoval-Norton
Published: February 2022

Many developmental screeners focus heavily on receptive and expressive language skills, and the extent to which an infant can maneuver their environment. Research with young children typically involve motor skills, language, and occasionally simple procedural or problem solving tasks. The current study explores skills infants are expected to attain, and other skills that have never been tested in an infant who is considered “at-risk” due to moderate developmental delays. Researchers collected data via specialized VCA software, video recordings, and the Vineland-3 pre- and post-study. The participant improved in all areas measured by the Vineland-3. Additionally, despite the participant being introduced to novel and progressively more difficult tasks, his average attention span throughout the entirety of the study was significantly longer than previous research suggests for infants. Researchers also implemented the detour box as a gross measure of frontal function. The participant successfully completed the detour task and multi-step problem solving
‘To Spray or Not to Spray’: Developing a Tourism-Linked Research Agenda for Aircraft Disinsection
Authors: Grout Andrea
Published: February 2022

Increases in international air transport are playing a major role in the global dispersion of mosquito- borne diseases, notably malaria and dengue fever. Disinsection of aircraft is the formal name of the process undertaken to control disease vectors that may be inadvertently imported from endemic regions. The goals of not exposing passengers and crews to insecticides, while also eliminating mosquitoes on flights, are potentially incompatible concerns. Understanding this problematic tourism-health link is important as organisations and individuals strive to make global tourism more sustainable. Aircraft disinsection as a means of disease vector control offers multiple opportunities for tourism research. This review offers a broad study agenda involving tourism and social science work which reaches beyond the medical research paradigm that dominates disinsection studies. It can be suggested that the key question is not whether to side with disinsection or not, but under what conditions is it most effective? Such decisions can be assisted through more integrated aviation and tourism policy analysis, crew and passenger health studies, analysis of crew behaviours and interpretation research.
The attitudes of Thai hosts towards western volunteer tourists
Authors: Proyrungroj Raweewan
Published: February 2022

This study examines the attitudes of Thai hosts towards Western volunteer tourists who were on volunteer vacation at the Home and Life orphanage. An interpretive paradigm utilising a combination of qualitative data collection methods (semi-structured, in-depth interviews and participant observation) was conducted with twenty resident members of Thai Muang sub-district who acted as the host of the volunteer tourists. The analysis of the data revealed that all respondents portrayed positive attitudes towards volunteer tourists, based upon two main factors: the volunteer tourists’ conduct and performance; and the perceived benefits they gained from the work of these tourists. The opportunity for the local children to learn English with English native speakers was cited as the most significant benefit. However, the respondents also had concerns about some aspects of the volunteer tourists’ behaviour and perceived under-performance, which was found to be mainly the result of cultural differences. In addition, it was found that there are mixed views regarding the volunteer tourists: some respondents perceived them as special type of tourist, whereas some viewed them as being non-tourists.
Understanding the motivation of repeat visitors to Rome
Authors: Giraldi Angelo
Published: February 2022

Tourism marketing studies and knowledge of the motivations of tourists’ repeat visiting behaviour are highly fragmented even in an increasingly saturated marketplace. The success of a destination should be guided by a thorough analysis of tourist motivations to return to the destination. This study has three aims: to examine the travel motivations of repeat travellers, to determine whether there is a significant difference in travel motivations among travellers with different demographic and trip profiles, and to verify whether motivations and satisfaction are valid predictors of destination loyalty for return visitors. To accomplish these goals, this study considers the particular destination of the city of Rome, one of the most visited locations in the world. The objectives are pursued through quantitative analyses conducted on 232 questionnaires completed by visitors to Rome. Based on the results, this study confirms the previous literature on the topic and contributes some additional findings. Moreover, various managerial implications are proposed.
Changes in tourist arrivals in Tuscan destinations between 2000 and 2013: A group based trajectory approach
Authors: Giusti Antonio , Grassini Laura
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the development of tourism in Tuscany’s municipalities, using a methodology to detect common growth curves from yearly time series (2000-2013) of the number of arrivals. The analysis is based on a partition of Tuscany into 262 areas derived from a partial aggregation of the original 287 municipalities. The work is carried out by finding a criterion to detect common time patterns of arrivals across territories, classifying territories according to such similarities in patterns, and verifying whether areas in the same group are also spatially contiguous. The study confirms the presence of heterogeneity in the growth patterns of different areal units. There is a general stability of the classical tourism destinations which are renowned worldwide. Other destinations have been developing due to exploiting the demand for rural tourism, interest in nature, environment and landscape, and so on. The growth patterns are derived by means of a special approach of finite mixture modelling: the group based trajectory model, a semiparametric method that aims to detect common patterns in longitudinal data.
