The Literary Structure and Doctrinal Significance of Alma 13:1-9
Authors: Duke James T.
Published: November 2022

Alma’s sermon at Ammonihah includes a remarkable passage (Alma 13:1-9) that contains a main chiasm as well as four shorter chiasms and four alternates. It also uses synonymia, cycloides, repetition, and an important Nephite idiom (rest). In addition, this passage explains the doctrine of the priesthood, the eternal nature of Christ and the priesthood, and introduces the doctrines of a preparatory redemption and the rest of God.
From Presence to Practice: Jesus, the Sacrament Prayers, the Priesthood, and Church Discipline in 3 Nephi 18 and Moroni 2-6
Authors: Welch John W.
Published: November 2022

This paper explores several relationships between the texts in Moroni 2-6 and the words and deeds of Jesus in 3 Nephi 18. The opening chapters of Moroni contain the words which Jesus Christ spoke to the twelve when he ordained them to the high priesthood, the words used by the Nephites in administering the sacrament, and also a few words by Moroni about baptism, church membership, congregational worship, and ecclesiastical discipline. This study demonstrates that these instructions and procedures were rooted in the words and deeds of the resurrected Jesus in 3 Nephi 18, as he administered the sacrament, gave instructions to his disciples, and conferred upon the twelve the power to bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost. Thus, one can appreciate the extent to which Nephite ecclesiastical procedures were based directly on the Savior’s instructions and ministry. Those practices, essential to the Restored Gospel, came from that divine source.
The Mortal Ministry of the Savior as Understood by the Book of Mormon Prophets
Authors: Draper Richard D.
Published: November 2022

The mortal Savior was not man, not human (Alma 34:10). Infinite and eternal, he received his physical life not from a son of Adam but from the Father of Adam, God. He took upon himself the image of man, but in truth he was the model, not the copy. Though mortal, he was still God, able to suffer and to redeem as only a god could. He was Son, because he received physical life from his Father, and Father, because he used his divine powers to give eternal life to others. Though not man, he experienced mortality, which allowed him to understand and love mortals.
The Spirituality of the Outcast in the Book of Mormon
Authors: Compton Todd M.
Published: November 2022

In the Book of Mormon, despised outcasts, such as the Lamanites or the poor, often have a special aptitude for spirituality, and the richer, "civilized," and more overtly religious Nephites are often declining in righteousness. This phenomenon, with some characteristic specific themes, such as being excluded from a religious edifice, is found in ancient and contemporary cultures and religions. This theme points up the complexity of the Book of Mormon, which is not simple cowboys-and-Indians melodrama.
The Secular as Sacred: The Historiography of the Title Page
Authors: Honey David B.
Published: November 2022

The Title Page of the Book of Mormon acts as an historiographical introduction to the editorial guidelines followed by Mormon in his work of compilation and redaction. These guidelines defined what was important for Mormon to incorporate in his historical record, and include the themes of genealogy, covenants, and the teaching and testifying of Christ.
Cry Redemption: The Plan of Redemption as Taught in the Book of Mormon
Authors: Volluz Corbin T.
Published: November 2022

According to the Book of Mormon, men must obey the commandments of God in order to gain eternal life. And yet, men are incapable of yielding full obedience to God, due to die carnal nature they inherit from the fallen Adam and Eve. To overcome this carnal nature, God has provided a way, through the atonement of his Son, whereby men may be redeemed from the carnal state to a spiritual state. If men are to be redeemed, they must call upon the Lord in the spirit of true humility, faith, and repentance. If they do so, God will redeem them by the power of the Holy Ghost. Frequently associated with the redemption process is a covenant of obedience.
Lehi’s Theology of the Fall in Its Preexilic/Exilic Context
Authors: Pritchett Bruce M.
Published: November 2022

Some authors have claimed that Lehi’s teachings on the fall of Adam are so similar to teachings prevalent in nineteenth-century America that they must be the source for 2 Nephi 2. However, this paper demonstrates that the bulk of well-recognized scholarly authority attributes teachings very similar to those in 2 Nephi 2 to preexilic and exilic biblical writers such as Hosea and Ezekiel. Thus, Lehi’s teachings are more consistent with a preexilic/exilic Israelite context than a nineteenth-century American context.
"Something to Move Mountains": The Book of Mormon in Hugh Nibley’s Correspondence
Authors: Petersen Boyd
Published: November 2022

Hugh Nibley’s correspondence reveals a lifelong fascination with the Book of Mormon. This is significant for two reasons: First, Nibley has taken the book seriously longer than we have as a church, and second, the private Hugh Nibley is as devoted to the Book of Mormon as is the public man. Nibley’s interest in the book is threefold: he recognizes the striking similarities it shares with other ancient Near Eastern texts; acknowledges its witness to Joseph Smith’s divine calling; and, most importantly, perceives the relevance and accuracy of the book’s prophetic warnings. In his letters, Nibley also addresses criticism raised against his methodology. "The potential power" of the Book of Mormon, writes Nibley, "is something to move mountains; it will only take effect when everything is pretty far gone, but then it will be dynamite. That leaves room for optimism." Hugh Nibley’s words make that optimism contagious.
A Case for Lehi’s Bondage in Arabia
Authors: Brown S. Kent
Published: November 2022

The lengthy sojourn of Lehi’s family in the Arabian desert invites the almost inevitable question whether circumstances forced family members to live in the service of tribesmen either for protection or for food. In my view, enough clues exist in the Book of Mormon—they have to be assembled—to bring one to conclude that the family lived for a time in a servile condition, a situation that apparently entailed suffering and conflict.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the efficacy of the insulin pen cap Insulclock on improving glycemic control, treatment adherence, and user satisfaction in people with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial comprised a 4-week run-in phase and a 6-week double-arm phase in which participants were randomly assigned into an active or masked mode.

RESULTS

Fifty-five participants were evaluable (active group, n = 26, masked group, n = 29). The increase in time in range was higher in the active versus masked group (5.2% vs. −0.8%; P = 0.016). The active group showed a higher reduction in mean glucose, glucose management indicator, time above range, and high blood glucose index. On-time insulin doses increased in the active group and decreased in the masked group.

CONCLUSIONS

Insulclock system use was associated with improved glycemic control, glycemic variability, hyperglycemia risk, and treatment adherence in people with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes.
Improved Vehicle Longitudinal Velocity Estimation Using Accelerometer Based Intelligent Tire
Authors: Nalawade Rajvardhan , Nouri Arash , Gupta Utkarsh , Gorantiwar Anish , Taheri Saied
Published: November 2022

An intelligent tire–based algorithm was developed to reinforce the vehicle longitudinal velocity estimation, from the vehicle inertial measurement unit (IMU). A tire was instrumented using a triaxis accelerometer (intelligent tire) in an instrumented vehicle with an IMU, and a global positioning system (GPS) based speed sensor (VBOX) as the ground truth for vehicle velocity. A testing matrix was developed, including two tire inflation pressures, two normal loads, and variable speed between 4 m/s to 14 m/s. A signal processing algorithm was developed to analyze the data from the accelerometer. Variational mode decomposition and Hilbert spectrum analysis were used for extracting features from each tire revolution. Later, a machine learning algorithm was trained to estimate the velocity using the acceleration data from the intelligent tire. Because the sampling rates of the IMU data and the intelligent tire data were different, sensor fusion was implemented. This calculated velocity was then used to correct the IMU-based estimated velocity. This new velocity can be used to enhance the performance of all advanced chassis control systems, such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability program (ESP).

Tanah merupakan salah satu media tempat tumbuh tanaman yang harus diperhatikan agar terhindar dari kerusakan yang dapat menurunkan kualitas tanah. Pengolahan tanah dan pemupukan yang tepat merupakan salah satu cara untuk mempertahankan kualitas tanah. Olah tanah intensif (OTI) dapat memicu terjadinya erosi yang mengakibatkan penurunan kualitas tanah. Upaya untuk mengurangi dampak olah tanah intensif adalah dengan penerapan olah tanah konservasi (OTK). Penerapan OTK dan pemupukan N dapat meningkatkan ketersediaan hara N yang merupakan unsur hara makro tanah sehingga penerapannya dapat tinggi meningkatkan kualitas tanah. Olah tanah konservasi (OTK) dapat menjaga bahan organik tetap tinggi di dalam tanah dan stabilitas agregat tanah dapat dipertahankannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sistem olah tanah dan pemupukan N terhadap perubahan sifat-sifat kimia tanah. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Politeknik Negeri Lampung dan Laboratorium Ilmu Tanah FP Unila dari bulan Maret-Juli 2017. Penelitian ini merupakan percobaan faktorial yang dirancang dengan rancangan acak kelompok yang terdiri dari 2 faktor dan 4 ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah perlakuan sistem olah tanah (T) yaitu T0= tanpa olah tanah dan T1 = olah tanah intensif. Faktor kedua adalah perlakuan pupuk nitrogen (N) yaitu N0 = 0 kg N ha-1 dan N2 = 200 kg N ha-1  sehingga diperoleh empat kombinasi perlakuan  dengan empat ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tanpa olah tanah dapat mempengaruhi sifat-sifat kimia tanah yaitu mampu meningkatkan C-organik tanah, pH tanah, KTK tanah, Kadar K dan Ca, sedangkan pemupukan N dapat menurunkan pH tanah.

In 2002 the international community adopted a new system of hazard classification and labeling of chemical products, which is recommended to be implemented by all the Member- countries of the United Nations through national legislation and international acts. Within the frame of the implementation of this decision, in 2015 the amendments were made to the Directive of the European Community of June 24, 1982, № 82/501/EEC on the prevention of major industrial accidents, and to the United Nations Convention onthe prevention of major industrial accidents, and a little later to the national legislation of the European countries establishing measures on preventing major accidents. In 2017, the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union adopted the technical regulation on the safety of chemical products, which establishes classification criteria that are completely identical to the criteria for the system of hazard classification and labeling of chemical products. Entry into force of the technical regulation of the Eurasian Economic Union will lead to the need for amending all theregulatory legal acts and regulations that contain regulations based on the classification of chemical products, including in the Federal Law № 116-FZ of July 21, 1997, On industrial safety of hazardous production facilities. The task of harmonizing the legislation on industrial safety with the international documents in terms of the classification of chemicals was planned to be solved when developing a new law on industrial safety. During the discussion, the developers encountered different approaches to the definition of classes of hazardous substances, the analysis of which became the subject of this article. The authors formulated proposals that can be used at the next round of harmonization of the Russian legislation on industrial safety with the international documents. When preparing proposals with classes and lists of hazardous chemicals for use in the industrial safety legislation, a comparison was made not only of the definitions of classes of chemicals in different documents, but also of their quantities, which are the criteria for qualifying objects as hazardous production facilities. It is noted that the term «flammable liquids», used in 116-FZ, practically does not occur in the international classifications, therefore, when developing new documents, it was proposed not to use it.

Intracranial lipomas, also called intracranial lipomatous hamartomas, have been reported in some strains of research mice, but are rare in C57BL6 strains. It is presumed based on current publications that this is the first report of an intracranial lipoma in a mouse with this genetic change (B6.Cg-Cnpy2 tm1.2 Zhli Alb-Cre). Grossly, a fur-covered, soft, cylindrical, exophytic mass on the dorsal midline of the cranium was evident. Upon dissection, a soft, white, tubular structure extended through a 1mm defect in the sagittal suture of the skull to the deep surface of the hypodermis. Histologically, the mass consisted of well demarcated proliferation of mature white adipocytes, each containing one large fat droplet. The mass extended from the cerebrum at the level just caudal to the hippocampus in the third ventricle, between the superior colliculus and the caudal portion of the retrosplenial area and through the sagittal suture to the hypodermis and was surrounded by normal brain tissue.

Authors: Sabirin Indah Puti Rahmayani , Polii Amanda Debora , Khaerunnisa Rahmadaniah , Yuslianti Euis Reni , Kristiana Ris
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Incisional wound in oral mucosa is usually performed during oral surgery but can also be caused by injury. Although wounds can naturally heal, the application of medicine might help accelerate wound healing. Proving the effectiveness of natural ingredients is currently being promoted because Indonesia owns many plants that are used empirically. The use of natural substances is also supported because it is relatively easy to obtain and safe if used properly. Subang Pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) is one of the produce of West Java that people consume and empirically use on wounds. Its fruit and core contain active ingredients that affect wound healing, such as bromelain enzyme, flavonoids, saponin, and alkaloids. This study aims to determine the effect of fruit ethanol extract gel of Subang pineapple on Wistar rats oral incisional wound observed from wound length. Methods: 25 rats were divided into five groups: baseline, negative control, positive control with 10% povidone-iodine, positive control with AloclairTM gel, and treatment group with 20% pineapple ethanol extract gel used as wound model on the buccal mucosa. The length of the incisional wound area was examined on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Measurement of wound length was performed using a periodontal probe. Results: The mean of wound length was smaller especially on day 3 in the treatment group. Post-Hoc Mann-Whitney test (p<0.05 considered significant) showed the wound decrease with Subang pineapple extract was better than the negative control (p=0.008) and povidone-iodine group (p=0.007) but didn’t show a significant difference with the Aloclair™ gel group (p=0.0118). Conclusion:  Topical application of pineapple extract affected oral mucosa incisional wound healing and had a potential to accelerate wound closure. Further study with different concentrations and another type of wound can be suggested.Keywords: incisional wound; pineapple extract; subang pineapple; wound healing

English as an international language plays an important role in the lives of Balinese people since Bali is a world tourism destination. In general Balinese people use English when they communicate with tourists because most of the Balinese work at tourism. Therefore, it is inevitable that English is one of the most popular languages ??for the younger Balinese generation to learn. However, the difference in the pronunciation system between English and Balinese, which is the mother tongue of the Balinese people, is often a problem. One of the most common types of pronunciation difficulties is the pronunciation of diphthongs in English. Pronunciation errors will certainly have an impact on misunderstandings in English communication.

     Based on this phenomenon, this community service is carried out with the aim of providing one solution to improve the ability to pronounce diphthongs in English, namely by utilizing various online dictionaries that are equipped with audio features. This solution is believed to be one of the options that can be done considering that currently, Balinese people are very close to technology, but some still are not able to fully utilize the dictionary in the network. The target of this community service activity was the students of SMK PGRI Payangan Gianyar. The selection of Payangan Gianyar area is due to it has the potency to become a new tourist destination in Gianyar District.

The OBJECTIVE was to evaluate long-term results of the use of «closed» techniques of surgical treatment of pilonidal disease.METHODS AND MATERIALS. The study included 147 patients who underwent excision of the pilonidal sinuses according to Karydakis – 28 and excision of the pilonidal sinuses with mobilization of the gluteal fascia – 89, laser obliteration using Filac Fistula Probe – 30 patients. To assess the long-term results, a questionnaire survey of patients, a face-to-face examination and ultrasound of the soft tissues of the postoperative scar area, statistical data processing were carried out.RESULTS. By primary intention, wounds healed in 91.4 % of patients. Complications were observed in 10 (8.5 %) patients: postoperative wound seromas – 8, wound hematoma – 1, postoperative wound suppuration – 1. After mobilization of the gluteal fascia, recurrence of the disease was established in 4 (4.4 %) patients, after obliteration with the use of laser energy and Filac Fistula Probe – in 4 (13.3 %) patients. No relapse was diagnosed after Karydakis procedure.CONCLUSIONS. Operations using «closed» techniques are effective methods of surgical treatment of pilonidal disease. At the same time, there is a low percentage of complications, relapses of the disease and a short period of rehabilitation.

The OBJECTIVE of the study was to analyze the results of treatment of patients with lightning scrotal gangrene (Fournier’s gangrene).METHODS AND MATERIAL. The work is based on the analysis of the results of treatment of 31 patients with Fournier’s gangrene aged 32 to 82 years. In 19 (61.3 %) patients, the most probable nosological causes of Fournier’s gangrene were diseases of the anorectal zone, in 10 – pathology of the urogenital sphere. In 2 patients, Fournier’s gangrene developed as a result of a closed injury (1) and a gunshot wound (1) of the perineum and scrotum. A limited (slowly progressing) form of the disease was observed in 18 (58.1 %) patients, a common form with a lightning (9) and rapidly progressing (4) course – in 13 (41.9 %). 6 (19.3 %) patients suffered from diabetes mellitus of varying severity. In all patients, the clinical manifestations of the disease and laboratory parameters were characterized by the phenomena of generalized surgical infection with signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and endotoxicosis. In 93.5 % of patients, causative microflora was represented by various associations of both facultative-anaerobic and obligateaerobic gram-negative and obligate-facultative anaerobic gram-positive microorganisms. The growth of anaerobic gramnegative non-clostridial flora was also obtained.RESULTS. Out of 31 patients, 6 (19.3 %) patients died who had a common form of FG with a lightning and rapidly progressing clinical course in the format of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and systemic endotoxicosis with an outcome in organ-system dysfunction. The causes of death were: septic shock (in 1), progressive systemic endotoxicosis (sepsis) with the outcome of multiple organ failure (in 3) and pulmonary embolism (in 2).CONCLUSION. Multidisciplinary approach to solving organizational and therapeutic and tactical tasks with the participation of doctors of related specialties, active surgical tactics in the format of «aggressive surgery», providing for the widest possible excision of necrotic and non-viable tissues, performed in combination with programmed (stage-by-stage) sanitation necrectomy, pathogenetically justified correction of violations of the homeostasis system, rational antibacterial therapy, a comprehensive system of local wound treatment and plastic replacement of lost integumentary tissues are priority ways to optimize the results of treatment of patients with Fournier’s gangrene.

Language is something that a child learns from their environment. English, a global language, has become a popular demand in many countries, including Nepal. With a strong belief that children learn when actively engaged in the learning process, this study aims to enable early-grade learners to develop their language skills by emphasizing English speaking and listening skills. The question guides this research- how can digital storytelling pedagogy help to enhance early-grade learners' English language skills? Using action research, this study includes fifteen upper kindergarten learners and three parents as participants in two weeks’ virtual classroom settings. Data were collected through observation, field notes, interviews, and questionnaires. Significant findings show that digital storytelling pedagogy is effective in developing the language skills of early learners as it creates an environment where they can watch, listen, interact and communicate more. With exposure to new vocabularies through storytelling and in the meaning-making of the same, they became more acquainted with English and Nepali languages. Gestures and non-verbal communication were added advantages of digital stories.

The increase demand for electric power, high consumption and little power station capacity has caused to reduce supplying hours of electricity in Iraq. Furthermore high bills prices especially in rural areas and cities faraway from electricity-generating power stations. In addition to the increase in pollution due to the use of fossil fuel sources. All those obstacles have led to the search for cheap, clean and renewable energy sources. In this research, wind turbine model operates at a low wind speed and high efficiency was achieved. The model was located and studied in Tikrit city where wind power need to be consumed. Here, the vertical turbine with an area of 0.49 m2 was designed and then it was placed at least 8 meters above the ground without any disturbances within 100 meters in any direction. The system was observed to start rotating with wind speed of 1.5 m/s. However, the best turbine cycles per minute were 68 was obtained at wind speed of 6.6 m/s and the system torque was 60 N.m. Finally, 75 watts of power was produced from a multipurpose generator that was designed to run a single battery. and was used (Neodymium magnet), and also operated at low speed.

The current status of the right to the environment at the global international law
Authors: Dr. Köböl-Benda Vivien
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the right to a healthy environment, which is a challenging aspect of international law because, until recently, it was not explicitly addressed at the global level. The United Nations' human rights instruments do not contain provisions related to the environment, but the approach of 'greening the existing' human rights can be observed in several forms, for instance, in general comments. International environmental law introduced a similar concept, the 'human rights approach', which connects environmental issues with human rights. We assume that these two concepts can serve as the foundation for declaring the right to a healthy environment but do not replace that. We argue that the global recognition of the right to a healthy environment could connect the two branches of international law and ease its fragmentation. This article aims to examine and evaluate the existing international legal background at the global and regional levels. While doing so, we will analyze the legally binding and soft law instruments and the relevant case law of international human rights law and international environmental law. The article emphasized the recent legal development, as the United Nations Human Rights Committee adopted 2021 resolution no. 48/13, which promotes the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. Here, we also present suggestions for the further global elaboration of the right. On the one hand, the examination reveals that international law already has several instruments and concepts that can be considered a starting point for the declaration. On the other hand, we propose that innovation, new approaches should be expressed in the future, related to the right to a healthy environment.
