Published: April 2022

The purpose of writing is to study 2 Kings 5 of Naaman's recovery as a motivation for crisis counseling during the Covid-19 Pandemi. The writing method is a descriptive analysis method, by reading, observing the entire contents of the text, seeing a description of the actions taken by the characters in the text, paying attention to the relationships that exist in the text and drawing the general meaning of the text. The meaning of the text is taken as a lesson in the implementation of crisis counseling. during a pandemi. The results of the study provide a lesson on how 2 Kings 5 stories of Naaman who experienced despair can be healed and the King of Israel who is depressed finds a solution. When Naaman and the King of Israel came to God through his prophet Elisha, Naaman was healed and even clean and the crisis of the king of Israel was resolved. During the Covid-19 Pandemi, there are many people who experience something similar to stress and even despair when they are positively affected by Covid-19. The Healing Study Naaman teaches that in any difficult situation, there is God who helps. The implication is that people affected by Covid-19 are motivated to get healing, when they come with faith in God.
Dari Dogmatika Menuju ke studi Agama dan Masyarakat: Menelusuri pemikiran Andreas A. Yewangoe
Authors: Aritonang Arthur
Published: April 2022

Paper ini akan menelusuri mengenai latarbelakang keahlian Andreas A. Yewangoe dalam bidang studi dogmatika. Dalam berjalannya waktu Yewangoe lebih menujukan keahliannya dalam studi agama dan masyarakat. Umumnya ruang lingkup bahasan studi dogmatika hanya membahas mengenai doktrin dan gereja, namun hal ini berbeda dengan Andreas A. Yewangoe sebagai seorang dogmatikus justru dalam banyak karya tulisnya lebih banyak menulis seputar studi agama dan masyarakat. Meskipun ada juga karya tulis Yewangoe yang membahas mengenai studi dogmatika namun tidak sebanyak dengan studi agama dan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu untuk menelusurinya penulis akan menggunakan pendekatan metodologi kepustakaan dan juga melakukan wawancara dengan sumber yang akan diteliti pemikirannya yakni Andreas A. Yewangoe beserta Barnabas Ludji sebagai mantan mahasiswa Yewangoe. Sehingga paper ini dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara ilmiah. Temuan dari penelitan ini ialah bahwa studi dogmatika ketika Yewangoe di Belanda memiliki cakupan yang luas pembahasannya termasuk bidang agama dan masyarakat. Disamping itu juga dipengaruhi oleh latarbelakang sosial, politik ekonomi Yewangoe ketika berada di Sumba Nusa Tenggara Barat dan juga kiprah Yewangoe dalam gerakan oikoumene maupun dipemerintahan di Indonesia.

Fatalisme, méfiance et refus des traitements contre le cancer du sein au Ghana
Authors: Salisu Waliu Jawula , Mirlashari Jila , Seylani Khatereh , Varaei Shokoh , Thorne Sally
Published: April 2022

Grâce aux récentes avancées en science et technologie, les options de traitement contre le cancer se sont multipliées, et les taux de survivance, améliorés. Pourtant, certaines personnes qui reçoivent un diagnostic de cancer du sein refusent les traitements. Cette étude vise à explorer comment les croyances et idées personnelles des patientes atteintes d’un cancer du sein influencent leur décision de refuser les traitements médicaux. Ainsi, treize entrevues avec des participantes ont été sélectionnées parmi une cohorte de plus grande taille afin de mener une seconde analyse en utilisant l’approche basée sur la théorie ancrée. La décision de renoncer au traitement médical était principalement influencée par les croyances personnelles, qui se déclinent ainsi : 1. Triangle religion-superstitions-ignorance; 2. Système de croyances traditionnelles ghanéennes; 3. Conviction que c’est son destin; 4. Relations précaires entre patients et soignants; 5. Rendez-vous inutiles; et 6. Épreuves inutiles. On peut les regrouper en deux grands thèmes : fatalisme, et communication déficiente entre le personnel de la santé et les patients. Les croyances personnelles et les failles administratives du système de santé sont donc les deux principales influences qui expliquent le refus en hausse des traitements médicaux chez les patientes ayant un cancer du sein au Ghana. Ces conclusions mettent en relief les besoins de mieux sensibiliser au cancer du sein, d’offrir des consultations professionnelles et de donner accès à des services de soutien psychologique.
Exploring the effect of neurofeedback on postcancer cognitive impairment and fatigue: A pilot feasibility study
Authors: Luctkar-Flude Marian , Tyerman Jane , Burnett Shawna , Giroux Janet , Groll Dianne
Published: April 2022

Purpose: Postcancer cognitive impairment (PCCI) and fatigue are adverse effects that often persist following cancer treatment, and impact quality of life. The study purpose was to evaluate feasibility and effect of neurofeedback on cognitive functioning and fatigue in cancer survivors. Specifically, we aimed to test feasibility of recruitment strategies and our study protocol including outcome measures. Design: This pilot feasibility study used a 10-week wait-list design. Participants served as their own controls and received neurofeedback training twice a week for 10 weeks. Participants: The sample consisted of breast cancer survivors from Kingston, Ontario (n=16). Methods: Outcomes were assessed using validated, self-report scales at three time periods: before, during, and after neurofeedback. Findings: The neurofeedback protocol was feasible and resulted in significant decreases in perceived cognitive deficits, fatigue, sleep, and psychological symptoms. Implications for Psychosocial Providers: Neurofeedback may be an effective, non-invasive complementary therapy for PCCI in breast cancer survivors.
Issues associated with a hereditary risk of cancer: Knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses in oncology settings
Authors: Hébert Johanne , Bergeron Anne-Sophie , Veillette Anne-Marie , Bouchard Karine , Nabi Hermann , Dorval Michel
Published: April 2022

Documenting a patient’s family history of cancer is useful in assessing their predisposition to some types of hereditary cancers. A group of nurses working with cancer patients were surveyed, by way of a questionnaire, to determine their level of knowledge about oncogenetics, describe various issues related to their capacity to identify, refer and support individuals with a hereditary risk of cancer, and explore their interest in continuing education on this topic. The findings show limited knowledge and a low sense of competence among the participating nurses, as well as a lack of access to university and continuing education programs in this field. Training focused on competency development would enhance their capacity to carry out an initial assessment of individuals who are potentially at risk for cancer and refer them to specialized resources. Keywords: hereditary cancers, oncogenetics, family history, nursing competencies
Transitioning from Heparin to Saline Locks for Central Venous Access Devices in Oncology: An Evidence-Based Practice Approach
Authors: Jabaley Terri , Xiong Niya , Conley Susanne , Mazeika Teresa , Johnson Danielle , Biggins Brenda , Hilton Nancy , Hong Fangxin
Published: April 2022

Central vascular access devices (CVADs) are often essential to the care of patients undergoing long-term cancer treatment. CVAD maintenance is an essential oncology nurse competency. Evidence-based practice (EBP) in flushing and locking help to prevent intraluminal occlusion, a common complication. Heparinized saline (HS) has been the standard locking solution for CVADs. However, research indicates no superiority of HS over normal saline (NS). The objectives of this EBP project were 1) to evaluate whether a significant difference in intraluminal occlusion was associated with the change from HS to NS use for locking CVADs in ambulatory oncology care, and 2) to evaluate the effects of peer nurse mentoring on nurses’ and patients’ perspectives about the practice change. Analysis of data revealed decreases in alteplase usage after transitioning to NS locking. Patient and nurse surveys indicated that peer nurse mentoring increased nurse and patient confidence and competence in making the practice transition.
Brief Communication: Screening for distress in community settings
Authors: Pang Kittie , McAndrew Alison , Fitch Margaret
Published: April 2022

Purpose: This project was designed to develop, refine and field-test a distress screening approach with survivors accessing community-based cancer support agencies. Methods: The project was conducted in phases including a literature review and focus groups with cancer survivors and community agency staff. Data were gathered to lay the foundation for building a subsequent development and implementation of a new screening approach suitable for community-based cancer support agencies to use in identifying psychosocial distress in their clients. Results: Standardized questionnaires used for distress screening approaches in clinical settings were not seen by cancer survivors as appropriate for community-based cancer support settings. A new screening approach was designed and implemented based on input from cancer survivors and staff in community-based agencies. The tool used in the distress screening approach focused on problems relevant to individuals in the community setting. If problems were identified, staff followed tailored care pathways to resolve them. Both patients and staff found the screening approach useful for quickly pinpointing problems and avenues for dealing with the issues. Conclusions: Screening for distress approaches can be useful in a community-based cancer support setting to identify individuals who are at greater risk for experiencing difficulties. Data from screening can be useful for agencies to report on their service effectiveness.
Ein Fest für den Heiligen
Authors: Ferro Eva
Published: April 2022

During the Middle Ages the cult of saints was an essential part of religious life. As a result, the study of saints’ lives and other narrative sources is a well-established research area for medievalists. But these studies often marginalize liturgical sources and rarely take the reality of medieval saints’ cults into account. This volume, however, focuses on liturgical worship or, as the author calls it, ‘Hagiopraxis’, and its sources and manuscripts. This approach rests on the methodological assumption that saints in the Middle Ages were constructed and propagated not only in Vitae and Passiones, but primarily in liturgical practice, in its texts and artefacts. It was mostly these liturgically constructed saints who were called upon for help and protection, and who could act as role models for the medieval audience. This innovative approach is exemplified in this volume through the study of the medieval cult of Saint Zeno, patron of the north Italian city of Verona.
Antioxidant-Rich Vegetables: Impact on Human Health
Authors: Adebukola Adeyanju Anne , Rebecca Oyenihi Omolola , Omoniyi Oguntibeju Oluwafemi
Published: April 2022

Antioxidants are valuable ingredients present in vegetables. Vegetables are essential and crucial in human’s health and diet because of their minerals, antioxidant vitamins, phytochemical compounds, and dietary fibre content. This is the reason why an adequate consumption of vegetables has been linked with reduced risk and protection against various chronic diseases. Notably, each vegetable belongs to a group that contains a unique quantity of phytochemical compounds, which distinguish them from other groups and even within their group. The exact mechanisms by which the consumption of vegetables protects against human diseases are yet to be fully understood. However, the phytochemicals present in vegetables could be responsible for attenuating some of them. These phytochemicals are strong antioxidants that reduce the risk of chronic diseases by mounting resistance against the generation of free radicals and their damage. They are also involved in the modification of metabolic activation, detoxification of carcinogenic compounds, or attack of tumour formation in cells. This review highlights the inherent antioxidant potentials of vegetables, their roles as an excellent source of antioxidants and their impact on human health and diseases. Information provided in this review will provide more insight into the roles of antioxidants present in vegetables.
Snake Venom and Therapeutic Potential
Authors: Ibrahim Nassar Mamdouh
Published: April 2022

Many active secretions produced by animals have been employed in the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as hypertension and cancer. Snake venom toxins contributed significantly to the treatment of many medical conditions. Snake venoms are the secretion of venomous snakes, which are synthesized and stored in specific venom glands. Many toxins from snake venom are investigated and formulated into drugs for the treatment of conditions such as cancer, hypertension, and thrombosis. Most of the venoms are complex mixture of a number of proteins, peptides, enzymes, toxins and non-protein inclusions. Cytotoxic effects of snake venom have potential to degrade and destroy tumor cells. Different species have different types of venom, which depends upon its species, geographical location, its habitat, climate and age. The purpose of this chapter is to review focusing on the therapeutic potential of snake venoms and to establish a scientific basis for diseases treatment particular antitumor.
Many-Electron Problem in an Atomic Lattice Reduced Exactly to Two-Particle Pseudo-Electron Excitations: Key to Alternative First-Principles Methods
Authors: Kussow Adil-Gerai
Published: April 2022

Prediction of properties of solids (semiconductors) is based almost entirely on the first-principles methods. The first principles theories are far from being perfect and new schemes are developing. In this study, we do not follow the traditional one-particle-in-effective-field concept. Instead, all Coulomb interactions between particles are treated in their original form, i.e., particle-particle discrete interactions. Two-particles Coulomb excitations theory in a crystal lattice is proposed, along with a method for calculations of physical measurables. Most important, the relevant particles are not electrons but pseudo-electrons with both the Coulomb interaction mode and the effective mass different from those of electrons. The unitary transformation represents the many-body system as an ensemble of two-pseudo-electron excitations without neglection of the terms in a Hamiltonian. The many-particle wave function, being derived in a non-trivial two-particle form, ensures a full description of exchange-correlation and screening effects, for both ground and excited states. As an example, the energy of a many-electron system and the quasiparticle energies are expressed in an elegant integral closed-form and compared with the Density Functional Theory. The proposed scheme possibly opens a new route toward the numerical evaluation of properties of many-particle systems.
Effects of Welded Pipe-cutting on the Residual Stress Re-Distribution and Engineering Critical Assessment
Authors: Roh Ji-Sun , Yi Myung-Su , Kim Myung-Hyun
Published: April 2022

Welded rolled up steel pipe plates undergo more roundness deformation than seamless pipes. The main reason is that the existing residual stress after welding was re-distributed by the cutting process. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of the constraint on the cutting process through finite element analysis (FEA) to minimize deformation. To include the effect of the cutting simulation, the external constraint was used as the mechanical restraint, and a welded pipe without constraints was used for comparison purposes. The results show that the cutting deformation and residual stress were both significantly reduced under the effect of external constraints. Moreover, the method of reducing conservatism in engineering critical assessment (ECA) was proposed using residual stress re-distribution.
Rediscovering the Aesthetic Argument
Authors: Ashbach Jonathan ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: April 2022

The aesthetic argument for the existence of God is sometimes seen as a weaker younger cousin to the more powerful moral argument, but it may in fact be the more formidable of the two. The phenomenological aesthetic argument, presented here, brackets the question of beauty’s objectivity. It argues that various aspects of the raw data of the human aesthetic sense—specifically, our perceptions of human, natural, artistic, and abstract beauty—are highly unlikely to have developed on naturalism but are unsurprising given theism. These facets of aesthetic experience therefore ground a substantial argument against the merely Darwinian paradigm.
If Homosexuality Is Wrong, So Is Contraception
Authors: Hsiao Timothy ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: April 2022

Historically, the Christian church was united in firm opposition to both homosexuality and contraception. Today most evangelical Christians continue to oppose the former but have embraced the latter. This paper argues that there is a clear tension between these views, especially when it comes to the evangelical use of natural law–type reasoning. The conclusion of this paper is that Christians who view homosexual activity as immoral must also view artificial contraception in the same light. They are wrong for the same reason: they both misuse the sexual organs by directing sexual activity away from procreative unity.
From a pair to a dozen: the piscivorous species of Haplochromis (Cichlidae) from the Lake Edward system
Authors: Vranken Nathan , Van Steenberge Maarten , Heylen Annelies , Decru Eva , Snoeks Jos
Published: April 2022

Piscivory is a common trophic niche among cichlids of the East African Great Lakes, including Lakes Edward and George. From these two lakes, we examined the taxonomic diversity of cichlid species with a piscivorous morphology. Prior to this study, two piscivorous species were formally described, Haplochromis squamipinnis and H. mentatus. We redescribe both species and describe an additional ten new species of Haplochromis with a piscivorous morphology: H. latifrons sp. nov., H. rex sp. nov., H. simba sp. nov., H. glaucus sp. nov., H. aquila sp. nov., H. kimondo sp. nov., H. falcatus sp. nov., H. curvidens sp. nov., H. pardus sp. nov., and H. quasimodo sp. nov. All twelve species differ in dominant male colour pattern (unknown for H. latifrons sp. nov. and H. curvidens sp. nov.) and morphological traits. The species can be divided into two morphological groups: the macrodontic piscivores and the microdontic piscivores. This division potentially reflects an ecological differentiation in habitat use, hunting technique, prey species, and prey size. We conclude that some 12–20% of the species from the cichlid assemblage of Lake Edward have a piscivorous morphology.
Faceless, estranged and dangerous: Visual representation of female migrants from the Middle East and Africa in the Serbian media landscape
Authors: Krstić Aleksandra
Published: April 2022

Contemporary research on media reporting about migrants and refugees has been intensified since the 2015 European migrant crisis. However, only a limited number of authors focus on the visual representation of female migrants, which has been recognised to lead to more positive citizens' perceptions and the development of the "culture of hospitality" (Bleiker et al., 2014). The main objective of this paper is to identify dominant visual frame in which female migrants appear in the Serbian print and online media. The mixed-method analysis of 54 images captured from 2015 until 2020 is based on the theoretical concept of visual media frames. The main results show that female migrants have been dominantly visually represented as a threat to border security and public health and that they are usually captured in long shots, deprived of identity and voice in the overall media coverage.

Authors: Fuglem Mark , Richard Martin , Kennedy Allison , King Tony , Cater Neil
Published: April 2022

Two models are being developed to assist operators quantify risks to facilities off the east coast of Canada, given initial locations and characteristics of an ice island or set of ice island fragments. The first is an ensemble model in which a specified number of possible trajectories and fates will be simulated and plotted. Different realizations will be simulated by varying the environmental hindcast data and random parameters used. The second is a finite-element advection-diffusion model that determines maps of the probability of occurrence of an ice island fragment at different locations. This paper discusses the overall approach and progress to date.

Published: April 2022

The development of oil exploration/production offshore Kazakhstan in the northern Caspian Sea has been proceeding quite extensively. New vessels are needed and one example of recent vessel deliveries are five icebreaking tugs, Mangystau 1-5. The first vessel has been in operation 1.5 years and full-scale ice trials were performed in March 2012. The project has been really international as the basic design was done by Aker Arctic in Finland, the shipbuilding contract was done between STX OSV (Norway) and Caspian Offshore Construction (COC) (Kazakhstan). The vessels were built in Romania by STX. The paper will first of all describe how this arrangement worked out, how the vessels look like and finally discuss the full-scale trial results.
Loads on Downward Breaking Cones from Managed Ice Floe
Authors: Fenz Daniel M. , Kokkinis Theodore
Published: April 2022

This paper investigates the interaction of a managed ice floe with a downward breaking conical structure. The floe considered has width on the order of the structure’s waterline diameter. The investigation was motivated by the authors’ observations that peak loads in managed ice interaction model tests result from flexural breaking of the floes. The flexural failure load is determined analytically using a beam on an elastic foundation modified for the effects of a finite beam length corresponding to the floe size. This is compared to other limit states of floe rotation and ridge-building pressure to determine the controlling mechanism leading to a design load. Results are verified through comparison to model test data from experiments carried out by the authors at the Institute for Ocean Technology’s ice model test basin in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Comparison of Analytical and Numerical Models of Glancing Ship-Ice Collisions
Authors: Liu Jiancheng (Jessie) , Daley Claude , Yu Han-Chang , Bond James
Published: April 2022

The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Polar Class (PC) requirements are widely accepted by the industry as the design standards for vessels operating in polar regions. The PC requirements consider the bow shoulder collision with infinite ice as the base scenario. The Popov collision model (Popov, 1976; Daley, 1990), updated with a pressure-area ice pressure model, was adopted for calculating the ice loads on the hull. The Popov collision model considers that the ship-ice impact is so quick that a 3-D collision can be modeled by an equivalent 1-D collision. All motions between ship and ice are mapped onto the normal direction to the hull at the collision point. No collision energy is assumed to be dissipated by the friction force since sliding velocities are ignored. It is of interest to assess the effects of the simplifications in the Popov model using a numerical method which can simulate the collision mechanism with a high level of sophistication.

A numerical study of the Popov collision model of ship-ice interaction is presented in this paper. In the study, ship sliding motions and frictions between hull and ice were included in the six-degree-of freedom ship-ice collision model using LS-DYNA software. The output and checked items include the force time histories, maximum force value, ship/ice motions, contact areas and positions, etc. A parametric study was carried out to quantify the effects from varying mesh sizes, ship-ice friction coefficients, ice elastic modulus and ice buoyancy force using the FE model simulation. The effects of simplifications of the Popov analytical model were assessed through the comparisons of the results produced by the analytical model and the numerical model.

Published: April 2022

The combination of active learning classroom review of Arctic marine environment and ice navigation principles with realistic ship simulator exercises provides for reliable retention of nautical knowledge and skills. The Alaska Maritime Training Center in Seward, Alaska (AVTEC), has developed an intensive curriculum of 15 days duration that satisfies current IMO/STCW and DNV recommended criteria for training watch-keeping officers to navigate and command ships in ice-covered waters and other severe high-latitude conditions. The performance in ice of a range of vessels sizes and types are simulated consistent with ships anticipated to encounter ice in Alaskan waters.
Fatigue Life Estimation of Notched Components Using Frequency Domain Approach
Authors: Sarzosa Diego F.B , Pascualinotto Vagner
Published: April 2022

Engineering structures are constructed to withstand a variety of in-service loading specific to their application. Random vibration excitation is observed in most structural components in the offshore, aerospace, and automotive industries. Likewise, fatigue life estimation for structural elements is fundamental for verifying the design and assurance of structural integrity throughout service. The linear cumulative Palmgren-Miner's damage rule is widely used for damage assessment, despite its well-known limitations. The scatter of fatigue testing data suggests that a probabilistic characterization of the material behavior should be considered during fatigue life predictions. In this work, the inherent uncertainties of the fatigue phenomenon and the influence of a geometrical discontinuity are explored in the fatigue life estimation of a structural component subjected to random vibration profiles. The fatigue life estimated using the methodology proposed in this work presented a good agreement with testing results using Dirlik frequency domain counting methods.

This study aimed to adapt the Work-Health Balance questionnaire (WHBq; (Gragnano, Miglioretti, Frings-Dresen, & de Boer, 2017) into Spanish and to provide evidence for its factorial structure, reliability, and validity. WHBq comprises 17 items with three scales: Work-Health Incompatibility (WHI), Health Climate (HC) and External Support (ES). It was applied to a sample of Mexican workers (n =316). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the three-factor model replicating the original structure provided good fit (CFI = 0.950; SRMR = 0.051; RMSEA = 0.069). The reliability of each factor and the whole questionnaire were satisfactory (α and ω higher than 0.70). The AVE was lower than 0.50 only for ES. Solutions to this problem are discussed. Concurrent and differential validity was examined with external criteria. The WHBq in its Spanish version shows good psychometric properties and theoretically consistent relationships with external variables. These findings provide support for its use as a valid and reliable tool in Mexico.

Published: April 2022

Gifted students (i.e., those who are more likely to achieve extraordinary goals in one or more domains) generally differ from the non-gifted students in some of the dimensions of self-concept (i.e., a person's perception of him/herself). However, the current research on giftedness has evolved to introduce new possible moderators of these differences so it has become necessary to carry out an update on the topic. The aim of the present meta-analysis (reference: CRD42018094723) was to synthesise the studies since 2005 on differences in self-concept between gifted and non-gifted students. The results showed that gifted students have higher levels of general and academic self-concept, especially in math self-concept. However, no differences were found in behavioural and emotional self-concepts, and only slightly lower scores in social self-concept. In physical self-concept they scored significantly lower than non-gifted students. The differences in this sub-dimension are moderated by identification procedures, geographical area, and age, so it is suggested that social stereotypes about giftedness as well as physical activity habits may be some of the reasons for these differences.

Los estudiantes con altas capacidades, aquellos que presentan una mayor probabilidad de lograr metas extraordinarias en uno o más dominios, generalmente difieren del alumnado general en algunas de las dimensiones del autoconcepto, o la percepción que tiene una persona de sí misma. Sin embargo, la investigación actual sobre altas capacidades ha evolucionado introduciendo nuevos posibles moderadores en estas diferencias por lo que se hace necesaria una actualización sobre el tema. El objetivo del presente metaanálisis (referencia: CRD42018094723) fue sintetizar los estudios desde 2005 sobre las diferencias en el autoconcepto entre estudiantes con altas capacidades y alumnado general. Los resultados mostraron que los alumnos con altas capacidades presentan niveles superiores de autoconcepto global y académico, especialmente el matemático. Sin embargo, no se hallaron diferencias en autoconceptos conductual y emocional, y hubo puntuaciones levemente más bajas en autoconcepto social. En el autoconcepto físico, estos estudiantes puntúan notablemente más bajo que el alumnado general. Las diferencias en esta subdimensión están moderadas por los procedimientos de identificación, la procedencia y la edad, por lo que se sugieren que los estereotipos sociales acerca de las altas capacidades, así como los hábitos de actividad física podrían estar detrás de las dichas diferencias.
Rating mean of expert judges and asymmetric confidence intervals in content validity: An SPSS syntax
Authors: Merino-Soto César , Livia-Segovia José
Published: April 2022

The estimation of content validity, obtained by rational analysis of expert judges, is usually done with coefficients that standardize between 0.0 and 1.0 the judges' judgment. However, this estimate can also be expressed in the metric of the judges' responses, in the form of the response mean, and with asymmetric confidence intervals around this mean. The aim of the present manuscript is to implement a procedure for these estimates (response mean and asymmetric confidence intervals) in a program written in SPSS syntax. The rationale of the procedure is explained, and an applied example of the calculation is developed. The program is freely distributed upon request to the authors.

La estimación de la validez de contenido, obtenida mediante el análisis racional de jueces expertos, habitualmente se hace con coeficientes que estandarizan entre 0.0 y 1.0 el juicio de los jueces. Sin embargo, esta estimación también puede expresarse en la métrica de las respuestas de los jueces, en la forma de la media de respuesta, y con intervalos de confianza asimétricos alrededor de esta media.

Elemen keagamaan dalam semangat perpaduan merupakan unsur penting untuk mengekalkan keharmonian dan kemakmuran dalam kalangan masyarakat pelbagai bangsa di Malaysia. Oleh itu artikel ini disediakan bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti pengaruh faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi elemen keagamaan dalam semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan remaja yang tinggal di kawasan perumahan rakyat di Malaysia. Kajian dijalankan dengan menggunakan reka bentuk tinjauan keratanlintang secara kuantitatif. Seramai 244 orang remaja yang tinggal di tiga buah kawasan perumahan iaitu di perumahan Rakyat Desa Rejang, Pantai Ria dan Seri Pantai telah dipilih sebagai responden kajian. Data kajian telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan ujian deskriptif dan regresi pelbagai secara stepwise. Analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahawa majoriti (59.8%) remaja yang tinggal di kawasan perumahan rakyat menunjukkan elemen keagamaan yang sederhana sahaja dan perlu dipertingkatkan. Analisis regrasi pelbagai pula mendapati bahawa faktor kesihatan diri (β=.539, p<.05) adalah petunjuk utama yang mempengaruhi elemen keagamaan dalam semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan remaja. Manakala kombinasi kesihatan diri (β=.405, p<.05) dan tingkah laku prososial (β=.289, p<.05) menyumbang sebanyak 6.6% perubahan tambahan terhadap semangat perpaduan. Faktor hubungan kejiranan dan semangat cintakan Malaysia pula menyumbang sebanyak 3.1% dan 1.4% varians terhadap semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan remaja. Kombinasi keempat-empat faktor peramal tersebut telah menyumbang sebanyak 40.1% varians terhadap semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan remaja yang tinggal di kawasan perumahan rakyat. Hasil kajian memberi implikasi positif kepada pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan dalam usaha untuk menyediakan pelan strategik yang komprehensif dalam menambahbaik program-program yang boleh membina dan menyemarakkan semangat perpaduan dalam kalangan rakyat khasnya remaja yang tinggal di kawasan perumahan rakyat di Malaysia.

Penghijrahan etnik bukanlah satu perbahasan yang asing. Terdapat pelbagai etnik telah melakukan penghijrahan sehingga membentuk diaspora etnik masing-masing di seluruh dunia. Dalam konteks negeri Sabah, penghijrahan etnik turut berlaku. Penduduk Sabah yang asalnya terbentuk oleh beberapa etnik peribumi, telah berkembang dan membentuk masyarakat multi-etnik ekoran daripada proses penghijrahan. Oleh itu, kajian ini akan menganalisis penghijrahan etnik-etnik dominan Islam daripada Filipina, Indonesia dan Brunei terhadap pembentukan multi-etnik Islam di Sabah. Kajian kualitatif telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan. Data-data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disusun secara tematik. Kajian mendapati terdapat pelbagai etnik dominan Islam daripada negara-negara tersebut telah berhijrah dan membentuk diaspora etnik mereka di Sabah. Sekali gus telah menyumbang kepada pembentukan multi-etnik Islam di Sabah. Etnik-etnik tersebut adalah seperti Melayu-Brunei dan Kedayan daripada Brunei; etnik Jawa dan Bugis daripada Indonesia, serta etnik-etnik daripada Filipina seperti etnik Kegayan, Bajau, Iranun dan Suluk. Kepelbagaian etnik ini telah menjadikan ia sebagai satu identiti bagi negeri Sabah. Walaupun masyarakatnya terdiri daripada pelbagai etnik, namun dapat hidup harmoni sehingga dinobatkan sebagai contoh yang selari dengan gagasan 1 Malaysia. Justeru, Malaysia amnya dan Sabah khususnya sewajarnya mampu menjadi suri teladan kepada negara-negara luar yang masyarakatnya turut terbentuk oleh pelbagai etnik dan kaum.
The Importance of Collocation in Translating Arabic Metaphorical Connotations into Malay

Published: April 2022

While the modern linguistic studies emphasizes the importance of an understanding of the collocation in order to achieve non-violation of the rules of language use by the community, the translation studies concern with the roles of collocation in ensuring a precise translation. Collocation is regarded as one of the crucial parts in translating metaphorical connotations as it captures the meaning that transcends its literal translation and it cannot be quoted literally otherwise it will spoil the intended meaning. This study aims to highlight the importance of collocation in achieving an exact translation especially in translating the Arabic metaphorical connotations into the Malay language based on semantic equivalence between the source and target text to the closest possible to the meaning of the original Arabic text. This study employs descriptive and analytical methods. Based on the examples, the study concludes the need of taking into account the role of collocation in the translation of the Arabic metaphorical connotation to the Malay language in order to achieve the precise translation as well as to determine the semantic equivalence. Therefore, this research suggests that the translator should choose the correct combination of words in the target language so that he does not come out with a correlation that is incompatible with the nature of the target language.

Religious commitment and Waqf trustee communication are important predictors of a typical Waqf intention. Yet little is known about the underlying mediating variables that account for these relationships. Based on assumptions derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior, the focus of this paper is to explain how religious commitment and Waqf trustee communication are predictors associated with Waqf intention with the underlying mechanism of human social psychology; i.e., the individual attitude, behavioral control towards Waqf, and Waqf subjective norms. An online survey (N=200 Muslim adults) was used to test the proposed relationships using PLS Algorithm, Bootstrapping, and Blindfolding analysis in SmartPLS software. The findings showed that religious commitment and Waqf trustee communication are directly related to one’s Waqf intention, with Waqf trustee communication showing stronger effect than religious commitment. In addition, behavioral control and subjective norms of Waqf significantly mediate the effect of religious commitment and Waqf trustee communication on Waqf intention. The attitude towards Waqf only mediates the effect of religious commitment to Waqf intention, but not of Waqf trustee communication. Our knowledge of these relationships is important as it can help advance the integration of social psychological factors in explaining the effect of religious commitment and trustee communication on Waqf intention.
