Challenges for Online Sermons and Online Communion during Covid-19 Pandemic: A Historical Perspective of Rural Congregations in the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe
Authors: Baloyi Ezekiel , Mapuwei Nyasha
Published: September 2023

This article aimed to investigate the challenges rural congregations face in the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe. The presentation employed literature review and documentary reviews such as church magazines because it is historical in nature. The findings showed that, unlike urban congregations who continued to benefit through digital gadgets to receive online sermons and online communion, rural congregations lag in all aspects involving digital sermons. Using face-to-face interviews and archival research, this paper proposes improved sermon dissemination packaging as key to the effective spread of the word in the face of difficulties in accessing technologically disseminated sermons in rural areas in Zimbabwe. Underpinned on the technological determinism theory, this paper unpacks technologically based preaching approaches that can be used to send sermons to all areas to improve Christian lives in rural areas in Zimbabwe. The study used a qualitative exploratory study designed to probe the perceptions and experiences of rural communities on issues about online sermon delivery communication. A qualitative research design enabled the researchers to interact with the study’s participants. Rural congregations in the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe faced several challenges. The most reported challenges were a lack of appreciation for using electronic gadgets to access platforms such as Zoom, Youtube, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google Meet and a lack of data and network connectivity resources. It was recommended that the Reformed Church in Zimbabwe strive to make an effort to capacitate pastors in rural congregations and their congregations so that they are well equipped with user-friendly electronic gadgets even in remote areas. This helps the church to benefit and continue to be enlightened with the word of God and communion even during the advent of pandemics such as COVID-19.

Authors: Lee Sean , Ghosh Abheek , Raymond Aislynn , Akhter Nabeel M.
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

This study assesses the safety and efficacy of balloon-assisted gastrostomy (BAG) compared to conventional techniques using dilators.

Material and Methods:

A single-center retrospective review of all fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous gastrostomy tube insertions from July 2017 to September 2020 was performed. Two hundred and seventy-three patients were included in this study, with 183 patients and 90 patients in the BAG and dilator groups, respectively. Fluoroscopy time, peak radiation dose, pain management, days to interventional radiology (IR) reconsultation, and post-operative complications (major and minor) for each procedure were reviewed to evaluate for statistical differences.

Results:

There were shorter fluoroscopy times (5.13 min vs. 7.05 min, P = 0.059) and a significantly lower radiation use (Avg = 102.13 mGy vs. 146.98 mGy, P < 0.05) in the BAG group. The BAG group required significantly lower operating time (41 min vs. 48 min, P < 0.01) and received lower pain management (fentanyl 75 mcg and midazolam 1.5 mg, P < 0.001). The mean days to IR reconsultation for the BAG group was greater (29 days vs. 26 days, P = 0.38). The overall rate of minor complications (grades 1 and 2, according to the CIRSE classification system) was higher in the dilator group (39% vs. 35% in BAG group, P = 0.53). No major complications were reported in either group.

Conclusion:

BAG is a safe and efficient technique for percutaneous gastrostomy tube placement. BAG patients required significantly lesser radiation, OR time, post-operative pain management, and recorded lower postoperative complications compared to their counterparts in gastrostomies utilizing dilators.

Authors: Shakir Muhammad , Altaf Ahmed , Hussain Hawra , Abidi Syed Muhammad Aqeel , Petitt Zoey , Tariq Mahnoor , Gilani Ahmed , Enam S. Ather
Published: September 2023

Background:

Immediate intraoperative histopathological examination of tumor tissue is indispensable for a neurosurgeon to track surgical resection. A brain smear is a simple, rapid, and cost-effective technique, particularly important in the diagnosis of brain tumors. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of intraoperative brain smear in the diagnosis of brain tumors in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), while also evaluating its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and overall accuracy.

Methods:

A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The retrieved articles were independently screened by two reviewers. The data was extracted, processed, and organized using Microsoft Excel.

Results:

A total of 59 out of 553 articles screened were included in the final analysis. The sensitivity and specificity of the intraoperative smear of brain tumors were found to be over 90% in most studies. The PPV was consistently above 90% in 11 studies, reaching 100% in one study and the NPV varied, ranging from 63% to 100%, and the accuracy was found to be >80% in most studies. One recurrent theme in the majority of the included studies was that an intraoperative brain smear is a cost-effective, quick, accessible, and accurate method of diagnosing brain tumors, requiring minimal training and infrastructure.

Conclusion:

Intraoperative brain smear is a simple, rapid, cost-effective, and highly sensitive diagnostic modality for brain tumors. It can be a viable and accessible alternative to more traditional methods such as frozen sections and can be incorporated into neurosurgical practice in LMICs as a reliable and efficient diagnostic tool.
Overview of the winning approaches in 2022 World Robot Contest Championship–Asynchronous SSVEP
Authors: Du Zhenbang , Bian Rui , Wu Dongrui
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) electroencephalogram paradigm has gained considerable attention owing to its high information transfer rate. Several approaches have been proposed to improve the performance of SSVEP-based brain–computer interface (BCI) systems. In SSVEP-based BCIs, the asynchronous scenario poses a challenge as the subjects stare at the screen without synchronization signals from the system. The algorithm must distinguish whether the subject is being stimulated or not, which presents a significant challenge for accurate classification. In the 2022 World Robot Contest Championship, several effective algorithm frameworks were proposed by participating teams to address this issue in the SSVEP competition. The efficacy of the approaches employed by five teams in the final round is demonstrated in this study, and an overview of their methods is provided. Based on the final score, this paper presents a comparative analysis of five algorithms that propose distinct asynchronous recognition frameworks via diverse statistical methods to differentiate between intentional control state and non-control state based on dynamic window strategies. These algorithms achieve an impressive information transfer rate of 89.833 and a low false positive rate of 0.073. This study provides an overview of the algorithms employed by different teams to address asynchronous scenarios in SSVEP-based BCIs and identifies potential future avenues for research in this area.

El síndrome de Schnitzler es una constelación única y rara, de signos y síntomas, clínicos y biológicos, que incluyen la manifestación de urticaria crónica, fiebre, dolor óseo, artralgia y una gammapatía monoclonal de tipo IgM. El diagnóstico, en muchas ocasiones, se establece con dificultad, en consecuencia, ocurre un retraso en el mismo, sumando al caso una morbilidad importante. La mayoría de los tratamientos no son eficaces. En este sentido, la presente revisión pretende actualizar y resumir los aspectos generales del síndrome de Schnitzler, especialmente el horizonte diagnóstico y terapéutico. El enfoque metodológico utilizado para la investigación es de tipo bibliográfico – documental, el cual se apoya en diversas bases de datos para obtener información relevante en base al tema de estudio. El diagnóstico se establece mediante la combinación de los hallazgos clínicos, de laboratorio y de imágenes. Los criterios de Estrasburgo para el diagnóstico son ampliamente usados en la actualidad, por cuanto han demostrado ser más prácticos. Estos criterios requieren únicamente la coexistencia de 2 criterios mayores (exantema urticarial crónico y gamapatía monoclonal IgM o IgG) y al menos 2 criterios menores (fiebre intermitente, artralgia o artritis, dolor óseo, linfadenopatía palpable, esplenomegalia o hepatomegalia, velocidad de sedimentación globular elevada, leucocitosis y anormalidades óseas). Así mismo, es importante realizar el diagnóstico diferencial. En la actualidad se dispone de más de 35 modalidades para el tratamiento de esta patología, con diferentes niveles de eficacia, siendo los más efectivos las terapias bloqueantes de IL-1, y entre ellas, el antagonista del receptor de IL-1 Anakinra.
Career Plateau and Organizational Commitment: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Career Commitment and the Moderating Effect of Person-organization Fit
Authors:   Korean Academy Of Management, Lee Soohyun , Song Minyoung , Li Yiran , Kang Hyesun
Published: September 2023

Managers need to manage employees’ perception of their careers, as emphasized in various field studies and research. Researchers have pointed out that modern workers are becoming more sensitive to organizational career management, which could ultimately negatively affect their attitudes and performance. However, current literature tends to focus more on job-related attitudes and performance. This study aimed to explore the impact of employees' career-plateau perception on organizational commitment, considering that individual attitudes towards work could easily transition into attitudes towards the organization. This study also proposed that the mediating effect of career commitment exists in this relationship, suggesting that a high level of person-organization fit could amplify the negative impact of career plateau. Analyzing data from 296 employees, the results revealed that, as hypothesized, employees with a strong sense of career plateau exhibited lower organizational commitment. Additionally, the negative relationship between career plateau and organizational commitment was mediated by career commitment. Moreover, individuals who perceived a higher level of person-organization fit showed a stronger negative relationship between career plateau and career commitment. When examining the moderating effect of job position, this trend was more pronounced among employees in higher positions. Based on these findings, this study proposed the need to manage employees' attitudes towards the organization by managing their experiences related to career plateau within the organization. Furthermore, some practical implications for employee career management were suggested.

Published: September 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hak jurnalis terkait ujaran kebencian dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi, serta mekanisme perlindungan yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 1999 tentang Pers. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode normatif dengan pendekatan statute approach dan diolah dengan metode hermeneutika hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pasal 28 ayat (3) mengenai ujaran kebencian dalam UU ITE merupakan pasal yang multitafsir dan rentan disalahgunakan. UU ITE juga dapat mengesampingkan UU Pers sebagai lex spesialis dalam perlindungan jurnalis. Sedangkan UU Pers memiliki mekanisme perlindungan terhadap profesi jurnalis, seperti hak jawab, hak koreksi, Nota Kesepahaman antara Dewan Pers dengan Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia, dan penyelesaian sengketa melalui jalur Dewan Pers. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa UU ITE dan UU Pers memiliki perbedaan dalam perlindungan hak jurnalis terkait ujaran kebencian. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan harmonisasi antara kedua undang-undang tersebut agar tidak terjadi tumpang tindih dan kontraproduktif dalam pengaturan norma. Selain itu, diperlukan penguatan mekanisme perlindungan dalam UU ITE agar tidak menimbulkan kriminalisasi terhadap jurnalis yang melaksanakan tugasnya secara profesional dan bertanggung jawab. Dengan demikian, perlindungan hak jurnalis dapat dijamin dengan baik dan kebebasan pers dalam menjalankan tugasnya dapat terlindungi sesuai dengan amanat konstitusi negara.

Authors: Aulia Muhammad Zulfa , Hantoro Bimo Fajar , Sanjaya Wawan , Ali Mahrus
Published: September 2023

As an influential legal idea, Satjipto Rahardjo’s progressive law has colored various legal discourses and practices in Indonesia. Court decisions, as legal texts that record and summarize the trial process, also show that litigants, experts, and court judges often use this legal idea. This research will examine how progressive legal phrases are used in court decisions and whether the users have considered their underlying assumptions, pillars, or principles. This research is limited to Constitutional Court decisions in law review cases. The use of progressive legal phrases is generally accompanied by several progressive legal assumptions proposed by Satjipto Rahardjo. However, these are selected and used partially according to the needs and interests of their users, and thus can have bias implications when compared and examined comprehensively based on other assumptions or pillars.
Interpretation of Interfaith and/or Belief Marriage by Judges: Disparity and Legal Vacuum
Authors: Sanjaya Umar Haris
Published: September 2023

Judges experience disparities in interpreting marriages of different beliefs and/or religions, resulting in different legal products, both determinations made. There is a difference between granting and rejecting. Interestingly, the understanding of the Constitutional Court judges and judges at District Courts has a significant disparity where one says there is a legal vacuum and the other is clear in accordance with the law. This study concerning a disparity in interfaith marriages in its determination and the legal vacuum of different-faith marriages created by judges in court. This study concludes that in practice judges in court in giving considerations believe there is a legal vacuum against marriages of different beliefs, as a result judges determine whether there is a disparity determination that is granted or not. The Constitutional Court itself interprets its decisions (2014 and 2022) that interfaith marriages are clear and do not constitute a legal vacuum in its enforcement.

Mesozoic drift of the Wrangellia superterrane revisited: the way forward from paleomagnetic data
Authors: Andjić Goran , Vaes Bram , van de Lagemaat Suzanna , Boschman Lydian , Dekkers Mark , Johnston Stephen , van Hinsbergen Douwe
Published: September 2023

The allochthonous origin of the Wrangellia superterrane relative to North America has been established in the early days of plate tectonics using paleomagnetic and geological data. However, long-standing disagreement between paleomagnetic and structural studies on magnitude of northward translation of the Wrangellia superterrane during the Latest Cretaceous–earliest Cenozoic has cast doubt on the validity of the paleomagnetic data of the superterrane, including data from Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks. Here, we compile all paleomagnetic data from the superterrane and present new results from uppermost Triassic limestones and lowermost Jurassic lavas of the Bonanza arc, which confirm that the Wrangellia superterrane was at those times at a much lower latitude than today, either ~25–35° North or ~25–35° South. Moreover, declinations reveal a coherent, major clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, depending on hemispheric origin. When correcting for previously documented true polar wander–the wholesale rotation of the solid Earth relative to the Earth’s spin axis–at the approximate longitude of the Wrangellia superterrane, new and existing paleomagnetic data allows for two possible scenarios of Mesozoic kinematic evolution: from 190 Ma to 80 Ma, the Wrangellia superterrane was either transported ~5000 km northward while rotating ~110° clockwise at a north-dipping subduction zone or remained at northern middle latitudes while rotating ~70° counterclockwise at a south-dipping subduction zone. The robust and reproducible Triassic–lowermost Jurassic and Cretaceous paleomagnetic data make previously speculated systematic artifacts unlikely solutions for the kinematic debate on the Late Cretaceous to Eocene tectonic history of the Wrangellia superterrane.

The Neurobiology of Aesthetic Chills: How Bodily Sensations Shape Emotional Experiences
Authors: Schoeller Felix , Jain Abhinandan , Pizzagalli Diego A. , Reggente Nicco
Published: September 2023

The phenomenon of aesthetic chills—shivers and goosebumps associated with either rewarding or threatening stimuli—offers a unique window into the brain basis of conscious reward due to their universal nature and simultaneous subjective and physical counterparts. Elucidating the neural mechanisms underlying aesthetic chills can reveal fundamental insights about emotion, consciousness, and the embodied mind. What is the precise timing and mechanism of bodily feedback in emotional experience? How are conscious feelings and motivations generated from interoceptive predictions? What is the role of uncertainty and precision signaling in shaping emotions? How does the brain distinguish and balance processing of rewards versus threats? Here we review neuroimaging evidence and highlight key questions for understanding how bodily sensations shape conscious feelings of pleasure and meaning. This research stands to advance models of brain-body interactions shaping affect and may lead to novel non-pharmacological interventions for disorders of motivation and pleasure.

Authors: Cropley David H , Theurer Caroline , Mathijssen Sven , Marrone Rebecca L
Published: September 2023

Creativity is now universally recognized as an essential, 21st century competency. However, there are many practical barriers to the development of creativity in schools, universities and workplaces. Chief among these is a problem of the fitness-for-purpose of creativity assessments. Highly valid and reliable creativity tests, necessary to support the development of individual creativity, are typically slow and labor-intensive to administer and score. However, recent advances in machine learning are opening up solutions to the fitness-for-purpose problem, across a range of different modes (e.g., verbal and figural) of testing. This paper describes the development of a large, image-based, multi-label classification model capable of automatically scoring the figural Test of Creative Thinking – Drawing Production (TCT-DP) with accuracies comparable to those of typical human raters. The growth of this, and similar machine learning models, promises to transform the development of creativity in education, offering rapid, accurate and cost-effective assessments that can be seamlessly integrated into teaching and learning.

Authors: Nishant  , Sharma Bhagwat Swaroop , Sharma Jyoti , Sinha Neel Ratan
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION Mast cells present in the connective tissue stroma release pro inﬂammatory and mitogenic cytokines. The mast cell in tumor act as a host immunologic anti tumor response. More than 90% of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas with oral epithelial dysplasia being the most common potentially malignant disorder. Mast cells play an important role in tumourigenesis.n some studies, with different granules of mast cell is  closely related with angiogenesis and tumor invasion.  In this study we used toluidine blue for the staining because it reveals mast cells as large, purple, oval and granulated cells.
MATERIAL AND METHODS 30 cases of oral epithelial dysplasia, 30 cases of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and 10 cases of Normal oral mucosa (NOM) were studied for mast cell number using toluidine blue. Mast cells were counted using an Olympus CX41 microscope ﬁtted with an Olympus oculometer grid. Counting was carried out at ×40 by two independent observers and was done in six non overlapping ﬁelds in each slide. Mast cells were identiﬁed on the basis of the purple color attained by the granules after toluidine blue staining, but the nucleus of these cells appeared blue.
RESULTS Highly signiﬁcant increase of mast cells in oral epithelial dysplasia on comparison with OSCC whereas there was only a signiﬁcant increase in mast cells in OSCC on comparison with NOM.
CONCLUSION Mast cells can be used an indicator of increased angiogenesis and can help in the prediction of carcinogenesis, its progression, and also in the prognosis of the malignant lesions.
The features of the legal regulation of state veterinary and sanitary control over the movement of animals
Authors: Krasnova Yuliia , Funta Rastislav
Published: September 2023

The relevance of the study is driven by the need to elucidate the essence of veterinary and sanitary control over the movement of animals at the national level to facilitate its further correlation with the experiences of European countries. The purpose of the study is to analyse the state of the legal provision in the defined sphere and formulate suggestions for enhancing the legal regulation of state veterinary and sanitary control over the movement of animals. The paper uses a system of general scientific methods of cognition (dialectical, formal-logical, analysis, and synthesis), and a special formal-legal method. The paper analyses the national experience of legal regulation of state veterinary and sanitary control over the movement of animals through the disclosure of its features. The essence of state veterinary and sanitary control during the movement of animals is established and its place in the legal system is determined. The boundaries of the legal regulation of this issue are outlined, legal forms of implementing such control, subjects and objects of such activity, the sequence of procedures required by veterinary-sanitary legislation for animal movement, and the specificities of legal responsibility for violations of veterinary and sanitary requirements during animal transportation are defined. The need to develop normatively established requirements for the safe movement of animals is substantiated, which encompass not only the procedures for protecting animals from epizootics and cruel treatment during their preparation for transportation or during transportation itself but also ensure the population’s access to quality and safe food products while guaranteeing the well-being of the animals. The practical importance of the paper lies in a number of proposals for improving Ukrainian legislation in this area.
