Authors: Wibowo Reson
Published: June 2023

Secara umum seperti yang kita ketahui, bahwa rework merupakan suatu pekerjaan ulang yang dilakukan oleh pihak kontraktor, di mana pihak owner tidak bertanggung jawab atas biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk rework tersebut, karena murni kesalahan dari pihak kontraktor.Beberapa penelitian telah mengungkapkan tentang penyebab rework, yang menghasilkan penelitian tentang penyebab rework dari segi faktor desain dan dokumentasi, faktor manajerial, faktor sumber daya. Hampir semua penelitian tersebut hanya menghasilkan faktor-faktor penyebab rework saja, dan tidak menghasilkan penelitian tentang bagaimana cara menyelesaikan permasalahan penyebab rework tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi penyelesaian masalah penyebab rework pada proyek konstruksi gedung bertingkat di DKI Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metoda AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), tahapannya dimulai dari kuesioner, matrik perbandingan dan Prority Vector. Sebelum masuk ke dalam metode AHP, ditentukan dulu kriterianya yang mewakili secara keseluruhan dari identifikasi penyelesaian masalah rework nya, kriteriannya yaitu mutu, biaya dan waktu. untuk kuesionernya membutuhkan 30 responden, masing-masing proyek diberikan 5 responden dimulai dari pimpinan proyek sampai dengan pengawas proyek, yang pengalamannya diatas lima tahun. Pada saat pembuatan kuesioner yang didalamnya terdapat  kriteria mutu, biaya dan waktu, dengan variabel solusi identifikasi rework yang berjumlah 53 (lima puluh tiga), maka terbentuklah pada setiap variabelnya, terdapat 8 (delapan) pertanyaan, sehingga dijumlahkan menjadi 146 (seratus empat puluh enam) pertanyaan, karena tidak memungkinkan peneliti merangkum menjadi 57 (lima puluh tujuh) pertanyaan, dengan mengutamakan 3 (tiga) peringkat tertinggi dari masing-masing penyebab rework yaitu dari segi desain dan dokumentasi adalah kesalahan desain, buruknya koordinasi dokumen, perubahan desain. Kemudian dari segi manajerial adalah kurangnya team work, jadwal yang terlalu padat, kurangnnya kontrol. Dan dari segi sumber daya adalah salah keputusan, pekerja kurang pengalaman dan pengetahuan, kurangnya peralatan. Disarankan untuk pengguna jasa (owner) dan penyedia jasa (kontraktor) untuk memperhatikan tiga peringkat tertinggi tersebut, agar dapat meminimalisir faktor rework.

The Impact Of The Imminence Of The Parousia On The Mission Of The Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Platon Bogdan
Published: June 2023

The imminence of the Parousia influenced the mission of Seventh-day Adventist church in all its history. The problem of this thesis is the extent to which the expectancy of the soon Parousia influences the concept about and the attitude towards mission in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Is Parousia the main motivation for the mission of the church or not? If Parousia determines the mission, what are the aspects associated with it that should drive the church mostly? This thesis has a multidisciplinary approach: exegetical, historical and systematical. The study examines how the Bible history presents the impact of expectation upon the life and actions of the people of God. Then, some relevant historical facts are presented - factors that influenced the appearance of Millerism, and, later, the development of mission in the organized Seventh-day Adventist church mission that is influenced by the expectation of the second coming of Jesus Christ. In the last part, the perspectives of the contemporary mission in Seventh-day Adventist church are presented, showing examples of extremism regarding the eschatological mission and showing, also, the possibilities of mission fields for cross-cultural mission. The expectancy of Parousia should offer a positive motivation for mission and the concept of the remnant should be seen in a larger spectrum. The views about sin, justification and sanctification, in eschatological background, are important in the manner in which they influence mission.
A Comparison Of Vocal Health, Hygiene, And Perceptions In Student Teachers, Voice Music Majors, and Speech-Language Pathology Majors: A Preliminary Study
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Brown Kenreah
Published: June 2023

Problem There are many college/university students studying to become teachers, professional singers, and speech-language pathologists. Yet, despite research available on the risk of developing voice disorders in these areas of study, very little was found on such individuals while in the college setting. This is particularly true for speech-language pathologists who have limited research available overall. Method Nineteen students between the ages of 18- 43 years old, completed pre-and-post-testing of the Glottal Function Index (GFI), Voice Hygiene Questionnaire (VHQ), and the objective measures (maximum phonational frequency range, sustained phonation, jitter, and shimmer). Results The chi-square of independence results showed that the relationship between these scores is not significant (Sig. = .84). The independent samples t-test resulted in no significant difference between student teachers/music majors and speech-language pathology majors in GFI scores (Sig. = .34), VHQ scores (Sig. = .32), jitter scores (Sig. = .55), or shimmer scores (Sig. = .26). Conclusion Having an increase in the Glottal Function Index score does not affect the increase of a jitter score in an individual. Likewise, when pre-and post-scores of GFI, VHQ, jitter, and shimmer were compared between the two groups, there was no significant difference. However, due to the small sample size, further studies with a larger sample size are needed to substantiate our findings.
Theory Of Mind And Negation
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Buckins Jasmine
Published: June 2023

Problem There is an extensive amount of research on theory of mind, which is the ability to attribute mental states (e.g., beliefs, intents, desires, knowledge, etc.) to oneself and others and to comprehend that others have beliefs, desires, intentions and perspectives that may be different from one’s own. Some researchers have investigated the potential prerequisites or developmental milestones that may be required in order for a theory of mind to be developed in young children. Some researchers have concluded that certain factors play a role in theory of mind development. These factors include environmental, cognitive and linguistic components. However, in the area of linguistics few studies have been able to find a direct link to how language interconnects with theory of mind acquisition. More so, little research has been conducted on grammatical negation, also called syntactic negation and a possible link to theory of mind development. This thesis attempts to add to the body of research on how theory of mind and negation are connected. Method The participants in this study were comprised of 22, monolingual, English speaking children 3 to 7 years of age who presented with typically developing language skills. These participants were recruited from both public and private schools located in Southwest Michigan. Recruitment strategies included, sending Andrews University Institutional Review Board approved consent forms to the parents of children who were enrolled in Preschool through 1st grade in the Southwest Michigan locations mentioned above. The participants were randomly selected from those consent forms that were returned from parents who gave signed consent to allow their children to participate. The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, 4th Edition (PPVT-IV) was given to all participants. The PPVT-IV is a standardized test of receptive vocabulary knowledge that is highly correlated with other standardized tests of language and cognitive skills. All participants were required to achieve a standard score of 85 or above in order to satisfy inclusionary criteria for this study. Two participants were excluded from the study because they did not meet the inclusionary criteria for participation. Results The results yielded no significant statistical evidence between the negation tasks and theory of mind tasks. However, negation was shown to develop on a developmental trajectory with older children performing better than their younger counterparts on the sentence picture verification tasks used to investigate syntactic negation. Conclusion Implication for these findings propose that different kinds of negation should be analyzed in regards to theory of mind acquisition. For further study, language impaired children and a specific types of negation should be investigated over a larger sample size of children.
Investigating the Anti-Cancer Properties of Novel Hybrid 1,4-Dihydropyridine Derivatives in U-87MG Glioblastoma Cell
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Hunyenyiwa Tendai
Published: June 2023

Glioblastoma is the most devastating of brain cancers with a very high death rate and a low survival rate of less than 15 months after diagnosis. Glioblastoma is a cancer of astrocytes which are the majority of the brain glial cells that support neurons and help create the blood-brain barrier among other functions. The current approach to treating this disease is surgical removal of the main tumor, followed by radiotherapy and limited chemical intervention by the use of temozolomide (TMZ). This disease is characterized by high invasion and recurrence after surgical removal of the main tumor as a result of cancerous astrocytes migrating from the main tumor site to other parts of the brain. Novel dihydropyridines were synthesized and their effects tested on glioblastoma cell line U-87MG to screen for their anti-cancer activities. Cell viability assays were performed to establish the (lethal concentration) LC50 of these compounds. The novel hybrid dihydropyridines reduced the cell viability of U-87MG cells, with the substituted aromatic compounds being more potent than substituted heteroaromatic compounds.
A Wholistic Model of Apologetics for Equipping the Youth
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Kesmez Selim
Published: June 2023

Problem While available studies indicate that biblical world view among young adults decreases in years of secular education Adventist education system in Germany is struggling to address the needs of the young adults. The question arises what kind of needs can be identified why they leave faith and church behind and how the Church may counteract this process and provide valuable assistance. The urgency of this question emerges in considering the high rate of de-conversion among Adventist youth. Method This study analyzes various studies and statistical reports regarding the condition of the spiritual life of young adults in both the secular and Christian community, focusing especially on their unmet needs. To examine the target group of young German Adventists between 16 and 31 years of age specific data has been conducted by a questionnaire about the apologetic abilities among this group. Results The results of the study show that almost all de-conversions (96%) come about until the age of 35 and that among Adventist youth the de-conversion rate is around 50%. The underlying reasons of de-conversion are categorized in intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects. Conclusions In a time of multitudes of contradicting world views and concepts, apologetics can be used to strengthen biblical world view among young Adventist adults. A systematic approach of apologetics needs to be comprehensive to meet the needs of young people in secular environments. Such an implementation of apologetics with components of intellect, affection, and spirituality can counteract the process of de-conversion by fostering a solid basis of faith, namely a biblical world view. It presents an effective instrument to educate the youth and can empower young people in well-founded and well-justified faith so they are able to defend their faith for themselves and others.

Percepcao Dos Pastores Da Associacao Paulista Sul Quanto Ao Direcionamento Das Ofertas Voluntarias Em Relacao As Orientacoes Da Organizacao Adventista
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Pereira Oseias
Published: June 2023

Problem In the report that was presented, the Associação Paulista Sul audit department identified that in 2012, 93% of the offerings received went to the local church and 7% went to cost the Church's worldwide expansion. According to the guidelines issued by Divisão Sul Americana da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (DSA), this amount should be 40% of the total. The Associação Paulista Sul offerings have been used to meet local needs rather than neglecting the Seventh-day Adventist Church's need for worldwide expansion. Method The quantitative methodology was chosen for this study, in an effort to make it more objective. A questionnaire, with objective questions, was given to the ministers from APS during councils and meetings. This was to ensure that they could respond privately and accurately on the theme of offerings. Results The results obtained from this survey showed that the ministers from APS show an interest on the theme of the survey; although a significant number of participants have a different view on the guidelines issued by the upper-level organizations of the Church and do not promote or practice those guidelines. Conclusions The leadership of APS faces a great challenge to align the procedures on the use of church offerings. This is because there is no unanimity with regard to the conduct of its ministers. Strategies that are more focused on involvement than on information must be implemented in the attempt to obtain better results on the subject of the use of the offerings. I also concluded that the participants benefited from being more directly involved in the subject under analysis.

Published: June 2023

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

Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of perceived stress and self efficacy on student satisfaction with the dissertation process among doctoral students in educational psychology in selected universities in the United States. Method Survey research method was used as the research platform for this study. Online surveys using Survey Monkey were administered to doctoral student in Educational Psychology from selected universities in the United States. Dissertation self-efficacy was measured with the Dissertation Self-Efficacy Scale (DSES; Varney, 2003). Perceived Stress was measured with the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10; Cohen, Kamarch & Mermelstein, 1983). Student satisfaction was measured by a single, straight forward question on how satisfied doctoral candidates and recent graduates were with the dissertation process. Descriptive statistics analysis was performed by frequency, mean and standard deviation to find out how satisfied were doctoral students in educational psychology with the dissertation process. Independent samples T-test were used to test significant gender differences in the satisfaction with the dissertation process. Finally, multiple regression analysis was conducted to analyze the correlations between perceived stress, self-efficacy and satisfaction with the dissertation process. Results Results indicated that participants in this study reported moderate levels of satisfaction with the dissertation process. The independent-samples t-test indicated no gender differences in student satisfaction with the dissertation process. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis indicated that both perceived stress and self efficacy are positively and significantly correlated with satisfaction, suggesting that those with high levels of self-efficacy and moderate levels of perceived stress tend to be more satisfied with the dissertation process. Also, regression analysis indicated that the two predictor model accounts for 28% of the variance in satisfaction with the dissertation process. Conclusions In summary, high levels of dissertation self-efficacy and moderate or optimal levels of stress, influence satisfaction with the dissertation process and could enhance program completion of educational psychology doctoral students. Both students and institutions should focus on increasing doctoral candidates’ dissertation self-efficacy, maintaining moderate or optimal levels of stress and reducing high stress when necessary, and also on increasing student satisfaction with the dissertation process by maintaining program quality and encouraging positive and supportive student-advisor relationships.

Published: June 2023

Purpose This present action-research analyses the absence of participation of youth leaders from the Brazilian East Union (ULB) in social networks and propose an action plan to promote the participation of these leaders in social networks, in order to facilitate communication, strengthen bonds, and to make stronger ties with the new generations. Method During the action-research process, dialogs and seminars were developed with the participation of thirty (30) youth leaders of the ULB. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured interview and applied the content analysis technique. The theorical references that support the actions and analyses relied on the studies of Bardin (1997), Bergamini (2009), Castell (2004), Kellerman (2012), Lévy (1997), Prensky (2001), Recuero (2009), and Thiollent (2009b). Results It is concluded that the main causes of non-participation of youth leaders on social networks are: lack of preparation for the proper way of using networks, fear of exposure and the perception that is a waste of time. Conclusions At the end of the actions it was possible to observe an increase in participation of youth leaders in social networks and the positive effects to the organizations. Lastly, this work presents a reflexion that may be useful as basis to other similar initiatives, not only in a religious institution, but also in other social organizations.
Risk factors for infant formula usage during the initial hospital stay in term and late pre-term neonates after implementation of a breastfeeding support program: A retrospective case–control study from a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Ganapathy Suja Mariam , Buddhavarapu Siddartha
Published: June 2023

Background: Infant formula usage in hospitals is inevitable in certain circumstances. We explored the high-risk groups who required formula during hospital stays during the post-intervention phase of a quality improvement initiative for improving exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rates in hospitals. Methods: A retrospective and case–control study was conducted involving 50 cases of neonates who received infant formula and 200 control who were exclusively breastfed. Data regarding maternal and neonatal details were from breastfeeding assessment forms and case record which was collected prospectively during the program. We compared common risk factors between the two groups. Results: There was a strong association between infant formula usage and cesarean sections, assisted reproductive technology (ART) conceptions, multiple gestations, neonatal intensive care unit admissions, being small for gestational age, and being an infant of a diabetic mother. First-h breastfeeding was associated with a higher likelihood of EBF in the hospital. In the final model, ART conception, multiple gestations, and delayed initiation of breastfeeding were strong predictors of the use of infant formula in the hospital. Conclusion: Initiating breastfeeding within the 1st h promotes EBF. ART conception and multiple gestations remain strong risk factors for formula usage, the social, physiological, and genetic reasons for which will need to be studied in detail.
A series of fetal reductions and their outcomes at a tertiary care center in North Karnataka: Fetal reduction series: A boon?
Authors: Yalagachin Neha G , V R Rashmi , T.H Sunita

Fetal reduction is a novel method that aims to reduce a higher-order gestation to lower-order pregnancy to reduce both maternal and perinatal adverse outcomes. One of the methods of fetal reduction is by intracardiac injection of KCl under ultrasound guidance. Here, we present a case series of eight women who had undergone fetal reduction. All of them were trichorionic triamniotic triplets at the time of reduction. In seven women, the reduction was done to twin gestation, whereas one reduction was to singleton pregnancy. Out of eight cases, only one carried to full term and underwent vaginal delivery. One case was lost to follow-up and 2 women underwent expulsion. A total of nine live births were reported with 8 babies going to the neonatal intensive care unit for low birth weight and preterm care. Fetal reduction is an important method that needs to be widely practiced and reported to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes in multifetal gestation.

The grease of the wheel: The correlation between corruption, regional revenue and expenditure in Indonesia
Authors: Arsandi Sanda Aditiya
Published: June 2023

Previous research has revealed that corruption is considered to have two types of effects on the economy. Corruption is seen as an obstacle to the economy but also as a "grease of the wheel" that accelerates the rotation of economic cogs. This study aims to determine the position of corruption in Indonesia after fiscal decentralization. The study was conducted based on secondary data obtained from the publications of the Central Statistics Agency and the Corruption Eradication Commission. The test was carried out using correlation analysis from 2006-2020 to see the effect of corruption in the regions and private sector on its economic dimension. Results show that corruption in the regions has a significant positive effect on corruption in the private sector and the realisation of regional revenue and expenditure. These results support the argument that in Indonesia, the phenomenon of corruption as a grease of the wheel still occurs.

У статті аналізується динаміка ринку телевізійної реклами України за останні роки. Акцент зроблено на оцінці стратегій розвитку телевізійної реклами від початку повномасштабної війни Росії з Україною, адже війна призвела до відчутних змін в рекламному середовищі та, відповідно, і в маркетингових стратегіях рекламодавців. Автором пропонується методика оцінки актуального стану ринку телевізійної реклами України, зроблено припущення щодо його подальшого розвитку. У статті розглянуті основні аспекти впливу війни на ринок телевізійної реклами. Порівняно довоєнні та актуальні рекламні стратегії. Доведено, що найбільшим рекламодавцем на телебаченні наразі є фармацевтичний сектор, адже їх рекламні матеріали потребували мінімального коригування. Зроблено висновок, що ринок телереклами поступово оживає та нарощує свої обсяги. Це дозволяє припустити, що якщо Україна буде перемагати на полі бою, ‒ вже у 2024 році можна буде досягти довоєнних показників.
