The Process and Adaptation of the Ministries of the Wausau Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Postmodern Matrix to Those Born After 1964
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Bossert William
Published: June 2023

Problem. It was apparent to many of the Wausau Seventh-day Adventist Church members, as well as the pastor, that there was an apparent lack or minimal level of participation of young adults (ages 17-35) in the life of the church. It was the strong desire of the pastor and many of the members of the congregation to be inclusive of young adults, provide ministries for and by them, and to foster an environment for them to he able to grow in a deeper relationship with Jesus. It was evident that the current practice and ministry levels at the church were not meeting the needs or attracting this important segment of the population. Method. A two-year process began with the introduction of the local elders to the current literature to assist them in what were the possible issues involved in the rejection of the young adults of the church. Concurrently, the pastor and his wife initiated a social/spiritual ministry (called Face2Face) at the onset of the project which was aimed specifically to college-aged young adults living in the greater Wausau area. The worship liturgy began a process of change which included the inclusion of more contemporary Christian praise music to be blended with familiar hymns. PowerPoint presentations for announcements, worship service elements and sermon presentations were also included in the change process. The pastor endeavored to project a more positive, energetic and spiritual atmosphere during the Sabbath morning services. Leading laity were engaged in many hours of discussion about what kind of a church they believed God wanted and a consensus was developed. A document defining the Wausau Church was then developed and adopted. It became the foundation for the future development of new ministries as well as educating new members or attendees to the ministry philosophy of church. Results. At the conclusion of the project’s two-year time period, the church had more than doubled in attendance at the worship services. A generational shift of those born after 1964 went from 45.5 percent of the congregational attendees to 63.1 percent. All generational groups experienced growth, but those between the ages of 17-40 experienced the greatest and most significant increase. The increased participation was also reflected in the young adults increasing their numbers in leadership roles within the church, as well as placing their children in the age-appropriate Sabbath School divisions. A twenty-year decline in church membership had been reversed. Conclusions. The project was effective in achieving a significant increase of young adults’ participation in the life of the Wausau Church. It is evident that the process of laity education and change was effective in bringing about a new atmosphere or new church culture in which participation and growth could take place. The process of change that happened at Wausau Church may serve as a model to other local churches wishing to reach their young adults.
A Contextual Analysis Of The Seventh-day Adventist Church In Norway, With Suggestions For Renewal And Growth
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Aune Kjell
Published: June 2023

Problem Since 1979, when the membership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Norway peaked, the membership has declined. There are underlying, complex reasons. This project seeks the underlying causes for the decline, and suggests possible solutions. Method The study begins by establishing a theological basis for ministry. Norwegian society is then analyzed demographically followed by an analysis of the Adventist Church in Norway, that includes a historical and organizational analysis, a review of the database material for the Adventist Church in Norway, and by four questionnaires designed for (1) Active members, (2) Pastors, (3) Former members, and (4) Young non-Adventists with an Adventist background. The process of strategic planning is then spelled out. Results Church growth is not just something technical, functional or numerical. It is a project of the heart. Outer growth starts with inner growth. Based on demographics of the Norwegian society, it can be concluded that there is a neeed for home-based, relational and felt-need activities. The church needs to be more sensitive towards the needs and ways of postmodems and youth. More variety and tolerance is called for. Attention to the following groups will increase growth: Youth growing up in Adventist homes, guests visiting local churches, people with felt needs, immigrants, postmodems, youth wanting a different format or emphasis, new members, and former members. Spiritual renewal, relevance of preaching, discipling, spiritual gifts, and wide involvement need more attention. The role of the pastor needs to change to encourage more training and equipping. Focus on spiritual renewal and awareness is needed. Adventist distinctives need to be presented in a less theoretical way, showing the benefits in everyday life. The Church needs to be better at analyzing, involving, planning, following up, and evaluating. Conclusion There is hope for turning the negative trend to positive growth in the Adventist Church in Norway. A new way of thinking, a changed emphasis, adjusted methods, more variety and tolerance, and targeting groups with the greatest potential, can result in new growth. With more attention to the process of planning and evaluating, projects may succeed, and losses can be reduced.
A Koinonia Model For Building Better Marriage Relationships
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Park Hee Man
Published: June 2023

Problem Modem Korea is experiencing family crises. Marriages are ending in separation and divorce. The purpose o f this study was to develop a program based on biblical principles o f koinonia, one that could be used to improve communication for Christian couples and enhance their communion with God. Method A theoretical framework for this study was established based on the literature review. The biblical overview was presented using the koinonia perspective. The principles o f koinonia are found in the creation story, the covenant between God and His people, in the life and teaching o f Christ, and the outpouring o f the Holy Spirit on the day o f Pentecost. The koinonia model took form from these principles. In conjunction with this study, a training program was developed to improve communication between husband and wife and their communion with God. Results The communication training program for couples focuses on the enhancement o f the relationship and includes the following components: talking from the depths o f the soul, empathetic listening, the dialogue o f loving hearts, conflict resolution, laughter and humor, commitment, and intimacy. The training program also includes guidelines for communion with God: soul-exposing prayer, Bible study, solitude and silence, meditation and confession, praise and worship with rejoicing and gratitude, commitment, and intimacy. The objective o f the combined training programs is to help the participants develop a deeper fellowship with each other and God. The design uses a workshop-style with eight 3-hour sessions that can be adapted to a variety of applications for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Korea. There can be sessions for one week, a 2-day weekend, a 3-day weekend, or three consecutive weekends. In addition, the presentations can be adjusted to meet the needs o f small cell groups or train excursions. Conclusions Based on biblical koinonia principles, this training program will improve communication for couples and enhance their communion with God. The koinonia model suggested in this study provides the synergy for helping couples develop stability in their marriage relationships. It is recommended that a similar program be developed that addresses communication between parents and children and communion with God as a united family.
Planificacion Estrategica Para La Universidad Adventista De Chile, 2005-2007
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Poseck Bolivar
Published: June 2023

Problema. La Universidad Adventista de Chile (UNACH) es una institución de nivel superior que pertenece a la Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día. Por muchos años esta institución prosiguió su misión a través de planes que sólo incluían a un grupo limitado de departamentos; de esta manera, la planificación era parcial, marginando así a otras sub entidades de la universidad. Al asumir la rectoría de la universidad a mediados del año 2004, en consulta con el comité ejecutivo de la UNACH, decidimos elaborar un plan para la universidad, que considerara la teoría y práctica de la “planificación estratégica” y que abarcara a cada estamento de la institución. Metodología. Una vez que el problema fue identificado y el objetivo global establecido, se inició un estudio cuidadoso de la literatura relacionada a la planificación estratégica que 7 7 incluía conceptos afines del libro de Nehemías. Posteriormente, se formaron diversas comisiones de trabajo que incluían a los decanos y otros líderes claves de la universidad. Tomando en cuenta el perfil de la UNACH, estas comisiones se reunieron periódicamente por dos años (2005-2007) estudiando en detalle los desafíos más apremiantes de la institución, sus fortalezas y buscando alternativas viables y efectivas que la ayudaran a cumplir con su misión. Resultados. La planificación culminó en el año 2007 con una serie de planes detallados basados en diagnósticos básicos de los desafíos de la UNACH. Los planes incluyen a cada departamento de la universidad y prescriben acciones contextualizadas a cada una de esas entidades.
Renewing the Motivation of the Devonshire Seventh-day Adventist Church to Become a Missional Community Through the Biblical Alignment of the Church's Spirituality, Passion, and Ministries
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, McLean Errol
Published: June 2023

Problem. Churches experiencing plateau or even decline often arrive at that stage in their life cycle because they are no longer fulfilling the great commission. They have lost their spiritual vitality, vision, and a purpose for mission. The challenge is renewing in this context a vision for growth and a commitment to ministry to the lost. This project details how this challenge was responded to at the Devonshire Seventh-day Adventist Church. Method. Identifying that the church was in the plateau stage of its life cycle was fundamental to approaching the problem. A theological foundation was established as a first step for communicating to the church a vision for growth and mission. A three stage process was developed and implemented. This was done concurrently with a series of spiritual formation experiences throughout the period of implementation. Result. The project involved the use of an evaluation instrument. The data from this suggested the transformation process at the Devonshire Seventh-day Adventist Church had repositioned the church for growth and with continued equipping of the laity would result in a greater commitment to mission. Conclusion. Transforming a church into a missional community involves both a spiritual and structural renewal. This is not a project to be implemented as a one-time experience. This is instead a process that must be nurtured and maintained over the long term in order to make permanent the transformation experience.
A Model for Training Church Family Life Directors in Hispanic Congregations in the Michigan Conference
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Mayer Jorge
Published: June 2023

Problem. The complexity of today’s life—with divorce, parenting inadequacy, juvenile delinquency, one-parent households, financial pressures, and the sexual revolution— creates significant distress to the families. Within the general population of the United States, Hispanics find additional stressors in acculturation and machismo. The families in Hispanic congregations of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists did not have a meaningful ministry to assist them in coping with these challenges. Method. This project examined the biblical principles on the origin, composition, and mission of the family, the socio-theoretical approaches to understand the family as an institution, and the Hispanic family in the United States. A selection process for the nomination of Church Family Life Directors (CFLDs) among the Hispanic churches in the Michigan Conference was developed. Two training-session weekends were designed to teach CFLDs concepts and skills that are related to the family in general, and more specifically to the Hispanic family, and congruent with biblical principles and the most appropriate theory about the family. Results. The Family Life Department was organized in all seven Hispanic churches of the Michigan Conference. CFLDs equipped themselves for the new task by attending the training sessions and participating in the organization o f specials events that gave visibility to the department. Conclusions. The Family Life Department can effectively serve today’s families, not only within the church but outside of it. The appropriate selection and training of CFLDs is a practical and effective avenue to minister to the needs of marriages and families.
Towards a Theology of Worship: an Application at the Oakwood College Seventh-day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Nixon John
Published: June 2023

Problem. There is an ongoing conflict between the members of the Oakwood College Church regarding what constitutes appropriate and meaningful worship. The conflict is most pronounced between the church’s two largest constituencies, college students and senior citizens. The lack of unity on this issue hinders both nurture and outreach efforts on behalf of the church and is a constant source of member dissatisfaction. Initial observations suggest that the problem is traceable, at least in part, to the lack of a clear understanding as to what should be the basis for determining corporate worship practice. Method. This study presents a review of historic worship practices among Seventh-day Adventists with an interest in building upon them for further development of a biblical theology of worship. It draws on New Testament principles as revealed in the worship practices and counsels relative to the church of the book of Acts and later New Testament churches. It seeks to integrate these principles with those of the Protestant reformers in their attempts to return the church to its biblical roots, drawing principally from the theology of Ulrich Zwingli. Conclusions. The ultimate goal of this project is to assist the Oakwood College church in the development of worship that is biblically sound and pleasing to God, and to make a contribution to the overall Seventh-day Adventist church in the area of worship theology.
Implementation of an Integration Process for Baptized and Transferred Members Into the Durham Spanish SDA Church Through the Adoption of Shared Values, Mission, and Vision
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Paulino Domingo
Published: June 2023

Problem. The following types of members have difficulties in integrating themselves into the organizational and congregational culture of the Durham Spanish SDA Church in the city of Durham, North Carolina: (1) members that join or transfer their membership from the Inter-American Division, (2) members who are baptized for the first time but were connected to the Seventh-day Adventist church in their country of origin or in the territory of the North American Division, and (3) members who are baptized for their second or third time and have been members of the church in their country of origin or in the territory of the North American Division. This lack of integration is the result of a congregational and organizational clash between these types of members and those members who have been baptized at the Durham Spanish church for the first time with no previous connection or knowledge of the Seventh–day Adventist Church. This congregational and organizational clash produces a negative effect in the whole congregation and impedes its effectiveness and growth. Therefore, there is a need for an effective ongoing integration process at the Durham Spanish church. Method. An ongoing integration process was implemented at the Durham Spanish SDA Church since October 2007 until the present. The program included the following action steps: 1. A four part seminar entitled “A Congregational Identity Clarification Process” that includes a survey to determine the degree of openness to change of the participants. 2. The exploration of the values, mission, and vision of the Durham Spanish SDA Church by the members of the nominating committee and the new appointed leaders. Two surveys were used to explore and clarify the personal and congregational values, mission and vision. 3. The development of statements to describe the values, mission and vision of the congregation and answer the question: Who is this congregation? 4. The administration of the GLOBE Project Research Survey (Global and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness Project) Form Alpha (adapted to a congregational setting) to measure the cultural dimensions and leadership dimensions predominant at the Durham Spanish SDA Church. Results. The implementation of the above action steps of the integration process at the Durham Spanish SDA Church has produced the following results: (1) awareness about the unique identity and organizational culture of the congregation, (2) the adoption of a set of operational values, mission, and vision by the leadership, and (3) a sense of mutual respect and unity among the leadership as they validate the values, mission, and vision of the congregation through the development and execution of the strategic plans and programs. Conclusion. The implementation of the integration process which promotes the adoption of shared values, mission, and vision has proven to be an effective strategy at the Durham Spanish SDA Church.
Osmanlı Devleti’nin Son Döneminde Adab-ı Umumiyenin Muhafazası ve Kadın
Authors: ÖZTOP Fatih
Published: June 2023

Batılılaşmaya çalışan Osmanlı yönetimi kurumsal hamleler yapmaya çalışırken Osmanlı elitleri ya da elitlerin haremi ise batılı toplumları taklit ederek görsel anlamda batılılaşma çabalarına girişmişlerdir. Tüccarlar ve diplomatlar sayesinde Osmanlı bürokratlarının hanelerine kadar giren Avrupa’nın lüksü, özellikle başkent İstanbul’da hane içi yaşantıyı da değiştirmiştir. Bundan etkilenen Osmanlı kadınları da zamanla Avrupalılar gibi giyinmeye başlamışlar ve kadınların bu tavrı gerek toplum gerekse Saray nezdinde tepki ile karşılanmıştır. Ayrıca kadınların arabalara binmek, mesire yerlerine gitmek veyahut büyük mağazalarda alışveriş yapmak gibi yeni alışkanlıklar edinmesi de zaman zaman irade-i seniyyeler ile yasaklanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Osmanlı kadınlarının Avrupa’yı taklit suretiyle edindikleri yeni alışkanlıklara karşı devletin resmi tavrını ve bu hususta aldığı tedbirleri ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Osmanlı yönetiminin adab-ı umumiyenin muhafazası adına kadınlara yönelik getirdiği kısıtlamalar ve yaptırımlar arşiv belgelerine dayandırılarak tartışılmıştır. Sultan II. Mahmud döneminde kadınların güvenliklerini sağlamak adına onların tek başlarına seyahat etmeleri yahut mesire yerlerine gitmeleri yasaklanırken, Sultan Abdülhamid II döneminden başlayarak Osmanlı Devleti’nin son yıllarında bu yasak şer’i söylemlerle uygulanmaya çalışılmıştır. Arabalarla gezmenin veya batılı kıyafetler giyinmenin çoğunlukla Osmanlı elitlerinin haremine mahsus bir alışkanlık haline gelmesiyle devletin aldığı tedbirler, nüfuzlu aileler karşısında yetersiz kalmış ve çoğunlukla işe yaramamıştır.

Published: June 2023

Günümüzde tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Covid-19 Salgını toplumlar üzerinde olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri olan bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. Tüm toplumsal kurumları etkileyen bu salgınla birlikte gündelik yaşamda birtakım değişiklikler söz konusu olmuştur. Tüketim de bu değişikliklerin yaşandığı alanlardan biridir. Yapılan bu araştırmanın genel amacı salgın döneminde ailelerin tüketim eğilimlerinin incelenmesidir. Bu çalışmayla birlikte ailelerin olağanüstü durumlar karşısında yaşadıkları endişe sonucunda tüketim eğilimleri sosyal bir bakış geliştirerek araştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma alanı olarak İstanbul/ Bağcılar seçilmiştir. Bağcılar'da yaşayan ailelerin tümü araştırmanın evrenini oluşturmaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılan bu araştırmada kartopu örneklem tekniğiyle aile üyelerine ulaşılmıştır. 17 kişiyle derinlemesine yüz yüze mülakatın gerçekleştiği bu araştırmada yapılandırılmamış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış olup görüşme sonucunda elde edilen bulgular yorumlayıcı yöntem ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre; salgın döneminde tüketimin en fazla arttığı sektör, gıda sektörü olmuştur. Bu durumda referans gruplarının etkisi söz konusudur. Gıda sektöründen sonra artışın yaşandığı bir diğer sektörler ise medya ve sağlık sektörüdür. Bunun nedeni ise salgın döneminde fiziksel mesafeden kaynaklı olarak insanların yüz yüze iletişim kuramaması sonucu iletişimlerini sosyal medya araçlarıyla gerçekleştirmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Tüketimde azalmanın yaşandığı sektör ise giyim sektörüdür. Bunun nedeninin bulaşa maruz kalma korkusu ve endişeden kaynaklandığı da elde edilen bulgular arasındadır.

Authors: Мазур Катерина , Янчук Діана , Галета Дарина
Published: June 2023

У статті розглянуто питання щодо впливу війни на транспортну і логістичну галузі, як на внутрішньому, так і на міжнародному рівнях. Перекриття маршрутів доставки, зменшення обсягів перевезень та зростання тарифів є основними наслідками війни для цих галузей. Встановлено, що зниження рівня безпеки внаслідок бойових дій призвело до зниження довіри до транспортних компаній та підприємств логістичної галузі, що вплине на їхню діяльність навіть після закінчення війни. Досліджено заходи, що запроваджені органами державної влади, такі як спрощення відповідних процедур та документообігу, укладання відповідних міжнародних угод, а також забезпечення відповідної інфраструктури допоможе забезпечити ефективну та безпечну вітчизняну транспортну логістику в умовах війни. Стаття присвячена вивченню та аналізу організації агроекспорту з України у військовий та післявоєнний періоди. Основна мета дослідження полягає в розумінні викликів, які виникають у зв'язку з конфліктними ситуаціями та після них, і виявленні стратегій та рекомендацій для успішного функціонування агроекспорту в умовах військового стану та післявоєнної відбудови.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, Terrones Cordero Aníbal , Sánchez Torres Yolanda ,   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo, Vargas Sánchez Juan Roberto ,   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana
Published: June 2023

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la evolución de la economía mexicana, a través del comportamiento del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) real de México en el periodo 1970-2009. Para estimar la relación ENTRE PIB, exportaciones petroleras y no petroleras, se emplearon mínimos cuadrados ordinarios. La economía mexicana presentó un ciclo económico sexenal. Se registró el “valle” al inicio y final de cada sexenio, mientras que el “auge” en el segundo y tercer año. Con López Portillo se obtuvo el crecimiento promedio anual más alto, de 6.57%. Un aumento de 1% en exportaciones petroleras generó un incremento de 0.20% del PIB. La crisis económica actual se refleja por una disminución del PIB, al pasar de un crecimiento de 3.3% en 2007 a 1.8% en 2008, y -6.5% para 2009, aunado a un desempleo de 6.4% en septiembre de 2009.
El PIB, la balanza comercial y el tipo de cambio: ¿posible solución a la crisis económica?
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Cortés Fregoso José Héctor , Domínguez González José Antonio ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: June 2023

Uno de los componentes más importantes de la demanda efectiva, para una economía nacional abierta, gira en torno de las exportaciones, las cuales inducen cambios endógenos en el nivel de consumo y de inversión agregados. En el presente trabajo se propone un modelo de regresión simultánea que, con base en la teoría económica, permite establecer la relación entre el producto interno bruto (PIB), la balanza comercial (BC) y el tipo de cambio (TC) nominal para diferentes periodos, considerando en ocasiones unas variables como explicativas y en otras como dependientes, es decir, tomando en consideración los problemas de los modelos multiecuacionales. De esta forma, el presente trabajo se propone elaborar un modelo de estructura simultánea que pueda ser útil para hacer pronósticos de las principales variables macroeconómicas, sobre todo en un contexto de una economía abierta y su relación con la economía internacional. La pregunta fundamental tiene que ver con una posible alternativa de política económica para impulsar la recuperación de la economía mexicana. Es decir, se pretende que los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación de dicho modelo faciliten posibles propuestas que puedan ser útiles para paliar de alguna forma los efectos de la crisis financiera actual.

Westward expansion of the Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis) into Dawson and Lincoln counties of central Nebraska
Authors: Bajelan Jamila , Geluso Keith
Published: June 2023

The Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis) is a small, migratory species of temperate woodlands in the eastern United States. Along its
western distributional edge in the Great Plains, this species resides in wooded riverine corridors. In recent decades, the distribution
of Evening Bats has expanded westward throughout the Great Plains. Herein, we report on two county records that further
document the distributional expansion of Evening Bats into central Nebraska. In 2019 and 2022, Evening Bats were collected in
Lincoln and Dawson counties, respectively, in woodlands adjacent to the Platte River. Increases in wooded habitats along prairie
waterways likely has resulted in their westward movements in the Great Plains. With the continued westward expansion, this
species should be looked for farther west beyond known distributional limits along prairie waterways throughout the Great Plains.
Analyzing the Spatial Distribution of Sediment Contamination in the Lower Great Lakes
Authors: Forsythe K. Wayne , Marvin Chris H.
Published: June 2023

Despite significant reductions in contaminant concentrations over the past 30 years, large areas within Lake Erie and Lake Ontario still exceed Canadian sediment quality guidelines. Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) can persist for long periods of time in the environment and cause significant ecosystem damage. Analyses of the spatial distribution of these contaminants were carried out using a GIS-based kriging technique. Initially, sta- tistically valid results were obtained for three of four contaminants in Lake Erie (HCB, Pb, Hg) and two of four (HCB, Hg) in Lake Ontario. Acceptable concentration estimates were subsequently achieved for all contaminants following log-normal transformation kriging analyses. In general, the concentration of contaminants was lower in sediment collected in Lake Erie than in Lake Ontario. In many areas of Lake Erie, the concentrations were under both the probable effect level (PEL) and the threshold effect level (TEL), which relate to the severity of adverse biological effects that may be expected. Greater concen- trations of these contaminants were observed in Lake Ontario sediments, which can be partly explained by the bathymetry and current circulation patterns in the lake.
Predicting aquatic invasion in Adirondack lakes: a spatial analysis of lake and landscape characteristics

Published: June 2023

Invasive species continue to pose major challenges for managing coupled human–environ- mental systems. Predictive tools are essential to maximize invasion monitoring and conservation efforts in regions reliant on abundant freshwater resources to sustain economic welfare, social equity, and ecological services. Past studies have revealed biotic and abiotic heterogeneity, along with human activity, can account for much of the spatial variability of aquatic invaders; however, improvements remain. This study was created to (1) examine the distribution of aquatic invasive species richness (AISR) across 126 lakes in the Adirondack Region of New York; (2) develop and compare global and local models between lake and landscape characteristics and AISR; and (3) use geographically weighted regression (GWR) to evaluate non-stationarity of local relationships, and assess its use for prioritizing lakes at risk to invasion. The evalu- ation index, AISR, was calculated by summing the following potential aquatic invaders for each lake: Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea), Brittle Naiad (Najas minor), Curly-leaf Pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), European Frog-bit (Hydrocharis morsus-ranae), Fanwort (Cabomba caroliniana), Spiny Waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus), Variable-leaf Milfoil (Myriophyllum hetero- phyllum), Water Chestnut (Trapa natans), Yellow Floating Heart (Nymphoides peltata), and Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha). The Getis-Ord Gi? statistic displayed significant spatial hot and cold spots of AISR across Adirondack lakes. Spearman’s rank (q) correlation coefficient test (rs) revealed urban land cover composition, lake elevation, relative patch richness, and abundance of game fish were the strongest predic- tors of aquatic invasion. Five multiple regression global Poisson and GWR models were made, with GWR fitting AISR very well (R2 = 76–83%). Local pseudo-t-statistics of key explanatory variables were mapped and related to AISR, confirming the importance of GWR for understanding spatial relationships of invasion. The top 20 lakes at risk to future invasion were identified and ranked by summing the five GWR predictive estimates. The results inform that inexpensive and publicly accessible lake and landscape data, typically available from digital repositories within local environmental agencies, can be used to develop predictions of aquatic invasion with remarkable agreement. Ultimately, this transferable modeling approach can improve monitoring and management strategies for slowing the spread of invading species. 
Modelling possibilities of bolt connections with finite element method
Authors: Sarka Ferenc
Published: June 2023

In the article, the possibilities of simulating bolted joints in the Ansys finite ele-ment program are presented. The purpose of the publication is to draw attention to the various simulating options. In the article, different simulation options are used for the same model. The versions to be used are 1) bolt connection without preload 2) bolt-tool, 3) beam-tool, 4) real screw thread modelling. In the article, I rely on previous publications, so some stages are presented in less detail than others. During the simulations, I compare the number of elements used, number of nodes, running time, stress and deformation results. The model used is a closed space loaded with internal pressure, which is divided into two halves. A gasket is installed between the two halves, the two halves are fastened to each other by a row of screws. In order to manage the running times, I only examine the part of the entire model correspond-ing to one screw. The screw joint is loaded with pretension, and the connecting elements with a constant pressure. Where possible in the software, the tightening torque is also taken into account. The results are presented in tabular form for easier comparison.

O Programa Emergencial de Manutenção do Emprego e da Renda foi uma política pública instituída pelo governo brasileiro em reação às consequências deletérias da pandemia de Covid-19 sobre o mercado de trabalho. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as disputas jurídicas em torno da implementação do Programa Emergencial através de negociações coletivas. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de: 1) levantamento de contratos coletivos no Sistema Mediador do Ministério da Economia, em que foram encontrados 152 instrumentos coletivos referentes ao programa no município do Rio de Janeiro, firmados entre abril e setembro de 2020; e 2) entrevistas com sindicalistas e advogados de sindicatos que participaram de negociações coletivas relativas ao programa. Os achados da pesquisa apontam para a importância da atuação dos sindicatos na regulação do trabalho e para as consequências do Programa Emergencial em termos de insegurança jurídica e ontológica, uma vez que ele permitiu a suspensão de contratos de trabalho e a redução de jornada e de salário em plena pandemia. Nesse contexto, intensificou-se o unilateralismo patronal como eixo decisório nas negociações coletivas e direitos fundamentais dos trabalhadores foram negociados sob o manto de uma regulação do trabalho de crise.

The experiment was conducted in the farmers’ field at the Farming System Research and Development site (FSRD), Atia, Delduar, Tangail during the Rabi season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 to evaluate the performance of BARI released gladiolus varieties and popularize these varieties among the farmers of Tangail region. BARI developed three varieties of gladiolus, namely BARI Gladiolus-3, BARI Gladiolus-4, and BARI Gladiolus-5. Among the three varieties, BARI Gladiolus-4 performed the best in terms of the spike (191009 piece ha-1) and corm (254322 piece ha-1) production from the average of 2018-19 and 2019-20. Though BARI Gladiolus-4 performed the best in terms of yield, the maximum economic return was obtained from BARI Galdiolus-5 due to a higher spike in demand and market price compared to the other two varieties. The highest gross return (Tk.2406215 ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 1402546 ha-1), as well as BCR (2.40), were also recorded in BARI Gladiolus-5 followed by BARI Gladiolus-4. The lowest gross return (Tk. 1837608 ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 833939 ha-1) as well as BCR (1.83), were obtained from BARI Gladiolus-3. The farmers under the AEZ-8 areas can become economically benefitted by the production of BARI Gladiolus-5 and BARI Gladiolus-4.
