A missional hermeneutic for the transformation of theological education in Africa
Authors: Niemandt Nelus 
Published: June 2019

The wide acceptance and maturation of the theology of missio Dei is the most important development in the theology of mission in recent times. It introduced a radically new understanding of mission and theology, and flowing from that a re-appropriation of ecclesiology. Mission studies are also characterised by a new appreciation of mission from the margins: liberation theology and the associated discourses on decoloniality, deep engagement in contextuality and the explosion of missional ecclesiology (missional church). This apostolic orientation of the church is of the utmost importance in the reflection on the future of theology. This research attends to the postcolonial discourse as an important critique of colonialism and understands the emancipation of Africanised or decolonised theological education as an inevitable and positive development. Contextual sensitivity, attention to diverse power structures and a predisposition to appreciate diversity open imaginative possibilities for theological education. This leads to the argument that decolonial African theology must confront issues of biblical hermeneutics. The proposal of this research is that missional hermeneutic is an excellent starting point. It describes the contours of a missional hermeneutic, attending to mission as central to the Biblical story, the meaning of mission and the conviction that reading Scriptures constitutes an essential part of missional praxis. Missional hermeneutic is a centring vision and purpose for theological education. The argument is for a missional curriculum that defines a centre that unifies the various disciplines, one that places mission and missiology at the heart of theological education.

Authors: Ferreira Talita , Moreira Evando Carlos 
Published: June 2019

Este estudo objetivou identificar e apresentar concepções, crenças e contextos episódicos do futebol que marcaram a vida dos sujeitos participantes - adolescentes/ estudantes - como conteúdo e estratégia de ensino nas aulas de Educação Física no Ensino Médio. Os relatos foram obtidos a partir do método de participação coletiva de opiniões, denominado “roda de conversa” com estudantes de uma escola estadual em Cuiabá-MT. O estudo indicou a necessidade de se pensar o futebol num contexto sócio-histórico nas aulas de Educação Física e não somente como elemento esportivo explorado a partir da vivência técnica e tática. Assim, os alunos poderão se perceber como cidadãos críticos e participativos socialmente e não apenas reprodutores de habilidades físicas e/ou idealizações midiáticas.

Published: June 2019

IntroductionThe study was to assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program based on the dynamics of the functional parameters of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and the tolerance of daily stress in middle-aged patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The incidence of COPD continues to grow, and life expectancy of the patients is shortened by an average of 8 years. Globally, losses from COPD are projected to increase over the coming decades owing to the long-term exposure to risk factors and population aging. A significant role in improving COPD patients condition and preventing the disease is played by physical rehabilitation.MethodsAnalysis of modern scientific literature, content analysis of outpatient documentation, conclusions of X-ray examinations, anthropometric measurements, pulse oximetry, arterial tonometry, spirographic studies, 6-minute walk distance, methods of mathematical statistics.ResultsA comprehensive physical rehabilitation program was developed for use in a polyclinic, which included a common set of physical exercises combined with breathing gymnastics with elements of superficial breathing, sound gymnastics, therapeutic massage, nebulizer therapy, Nordic walking. After the program application, chest excursion increased and airway patency statistically significantly improved. The exercise tolerance of the cardiovascular system increased.ConclusionsThe physical rehabilitation program for middle-aged COPD patients contributed to the economization of the respiratory system, slowing down the recovery of cardiovascular parameters, and improving the tolerance of daily exercise, which was confirmed by mathematical processing.

Published: June 2019

IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of cognitive impairment and the results of stabilographic tests in elderly patients with cognitive impairment.MethodsThe study involved 42 participants aged 62–84 (mean 73.4 ± 6.7) years. The assessment of cognitive status was carried out with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Included were subjects who obtained a score below 27, which is the cut-off score between the absence and presence of cognitive impairment. Postural stability was evaluated by using a force platform which registered the shifts of the centre of pressure (CoP) in the sagittal and frontal plane during two 32-second trials of quiet stance on a hard surface, with eyes open and with eyes closed. The CoP sway parameters were analysed.ResultsIn the eyes-open test, we obtained a weak negative correlation of the MMSE and the mean radius of the CoP sway (<i>r</i> = –0.37; <i>p</i> < 0.05). Considering the values achieved in each plane, a statistically significant correlation was observed in all the parameters analysed in the sagittal plane. The eyes-closed test revealed a clear negative correlation between the MMSE results and all the studied parameters.ConclusionsA significant relationship between the severity of cognitive impairment and the results of stabilographic parameters were noted. A negative correlation between the stabilographic parameters and the MMSE scores showed a linear deterioration of postural stability which progresses along with the decrease in cognitive functions.
A Telehealth Privacy and Security Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Telehealth Providers: Development and Validation
Authors: Zhou Leming , Thieret Robert , Watzlaf Valerie , DeAlmeida Dilhari , Parmanto Bambang 
Published: June 2019

Background: Telehealth is a great approach for providing high quality health care services to people who cannot easily access these services in person. However, because of frequently reported health data breaches, many people may hesitate to use telehealth-based health care services. It is necessary for telehealth care providers to demonstrate that they have taken sufficient actions to protect their patients’ data security and privacy. The government provided a HIPAA audit protocol that is highly useful for internal security and privacy auditing on health care systems, however, this protocol includes extensive details that are not always specific to telehealth and therefore is difficult to be used by telehealth practitioners.Objective: The goal of this study was to develop and validate a telehealth privacy and security self-assessment questionnaire for telehealth providers. Methods: In our previous work, we performed a systematic review on the security and privacy protection offered in various telehealth systems. The results from this systematic review and the HIPAA audit protocol were used to guide the development of the self-assessment questionnaire. The draft of the questionnaire was created by the research team and distributed to a group of telehealth providers for evaluating the relevance and clarity of each statement in the draft. The questionnaire was adjusted and finalized according to the collected feedback and face-to-face discussions by the research team. A website was created to distribute the questionnaire and manage the answers from study participants. A psychometric analysis was performed to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire.Results: There were 84 statements in the draft questionnaire. Five telehealth providers provided their feedback to the statements in this draft. They indicated that a number of these statements were either redundant or beyond the capacity of telehealth care practitioners, who typically do not have formal training in information security. They also pointed out that the wording of some statements needed to be adjusted. The final released version of the questionnaire had 49 statements. In total, 31 telehealth providers across the nation participated in the study by answering all the statements in this questionnaire. The psychometric analysis indicated that the reliability of this questionnaire was high. Conclusion: With the availability of this self-assessment questionnaire, telehealth providers can perform a quick self-assessment on their telehealth systems. The assessment results may be used to identify possible vulnerabilities in telehealth systems and practice or demonstrate to patients the sufficient security and privacy protection to patients’ data.
New Research into the Early and Middle Bronze Age in Central Jordan: The Site of Murayghat
Authors: Kerner Susanne 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The site of Murayghat, southwest of Madaba, consists of a central limestone knoll (Area 1) with numerous structures built from standing stones, single orthostat stones (Hadjar al-Mansoub), dolmen fields overlooking them, and domestic architecture situated around the central knoll. The dolmens, standing structures, and lower levels of the architecture date into the Early Bronze Age, while a reuse of the site is attested from the Middle Bronze Age. The dolmens are simple trilithon structures, which show planning and a relation with the possible cultic center. The EB I architecture features apsidal rooms and large walls made from orthostats similar to those on the central knoll. The site fits into the Early Bronze Age development of large cemetery structures related to settlement sites. The “Ritual Landscapes of Murayghat” project is carried out by the University of Copenhagen.

Genetic diversity of gliadin-coding alleles in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from Northern Kazakhstan
Authors: Utebayev Maral , Dashkevich Svetlana , Bome Nina , Bulatova Kulpash , Shavrukov Yuri 
Published: June 2019

Background
Spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) represents the main cereal crop in Northern Kazakhstan. The quality of wheat grain and flour strongly depends on the structure of gluten, comprised of gliadin and glutenin proteins. Electrophoresis spectra of gliadins are not altered by environmental conditions or plant growth, are easily reproducible and very useful for wheat germplasm identification in addition to DNA markers. Genetic polymorphism of two Gli loci encoding gliadins can be used for selection of preferable genotypes of wheat with high grain quality.

Methods
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyse genetic diversity of gliadins in a germplasm collection of spring bread wheat from Northern Kazakhstan.

Results
The highest frequencies of gliadin alleles were found as follows, in Gli1: -A1f (39.3%), -B1e (71.9%), and -D1a (41.0%); and in Gli-2: -A2q (17.8%), -B2t (13.5%), and -D2q (20.4%). The combination of these alleles in a single genotype may be associated with higher quality of grain as well as better adaptation to the dry environment of Northern Kazakhstan; preferable for wheat breeding in locations with similar conditions.

Published: June 2019

AbstractGold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been the most extensively studied colloidal systems in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology owing to their fascinating physical and chemical properties. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are often inseparable from advances in GNPs. Diversity in the modes of preparation, unique properties, unusual stability in comparison to related materials make GNPs ideal for a vast array of applications in chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine. This article gives an overview of the fascinating area of GNPs. The rich history of GNPs is briefly reviewed in the beginning of the article followed by a concise description of various pioneering synthetic strategies and their properties. An overview of novel anisotropic gold nanostructures is described in the subsequent section. Because of the importance of assembled nanostructures in tuning the collective properties of nanomaterials, assemblies of diverse GNPs are briefly described. Furthermore, a few interesting aspects of supported GNPs have also been outlined. Toward the end of the article, we have highlighted important applications of GNPs and have given a special mention of a new category of ultra‐small materials of gold known as atomically precise clusters. The article ends with the new directions of GNPs and outlines the prospects of future applications.
2‐ and N6‐functionalized adenosine‐5′‐diphosphate analogs for the inhibition of mortalin
Authors: Moseng Mitchell A. , Nix Jay C. , Page Richard C. 
Published: June 2019

Our early efforts to find a covalent inhibitor of mortalin, a member of the 70 kDheat shock protein (Hsp70) family, led us to solve the structure of the mortalin nucleotide‐binding domain (NBD) in complex with N6‐propargyladenosine‐5′‐diphosphate. The acquired structure emphasizes the ability of the nucleotide‐binding pocket to accommodate modifiedADPcompounds. A library ofADPanalogs modified at either the 2‐ or N6‐positions of adenosine was screened against the mortalin‐NBD. Competitive inhibition and binding assays of the analogs demonstrate that modifications at the 2‐ or N6‐positions have potential to bind and inhibit mortalin uniquely compared to other Hsp70 homologs, and that modifications at the 2‐position confer the greatest selectivity in binding and inhibition of the mortalin‐NBD.

Published: June 2019

AbstractFlexyDos3D, a silicone‐based chemical radiation dosimeter, has great potential to serve as a three‐dimensional (3D) deformable dosimetric tool to verify complex dose distributions delivered by modern radiotherapy techniques. To facilitate its clinical application, its radiological tissue needs to be clarified. In this study we investigated its tissue‐equivalence in comparison with water and Solid Water (RMI457). We found that its effective and mean atomic numbers were 40% and 20% higher and the total interaction probabilities for kV x‐ray photons were larger than those of water respectively. To assess the influence of its over‐response to kV photons, its HU value was measured by kV computed tomography (CT) and was found higher than all the soft‐tissue substitutes. When applied for dose calculation without correction, this effect led to an 8% overestimation in electron density via HU‐value mapping and 0.65% underestimation in target dose. Furthermore, depth dose curves (PDDs) and off‐axis ratios (profiles) at various beam conditions as well as the dose distribution of a full‐arc VMAT plan in FlexyDos3D and reference materials were simulated by Monte Carlo, where the results showed great agreement. As indicated, FlexyDos3D exhibits excellent radiological water‐equivalence for clinical MV x‐ray dosimetry, while its nonwater‐equivalent effect for low energy x‐ray dosimetry requires necessary correction. The key findings of this study provide pertinent reference for further FlexyDos3D characterization research.
Enhanced Dynamic Adhesion in Nematic Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Published: June 2019

AbstractSmart adhesives that undergo reversible detachment in response to external stimuli enable a wide range of applications in household products, medical devices, or manufacturing. Here, a new model system for the design of smart soft adhesives that dynamically respond to their environment is presented. By exploiting the effect of dynamic soft elasticity in nematic liquid crystal elastomers (LCE), the temperature‐dependent control of adhesion to a solid glass surface is demonstrated. The adhesion strength of LCE is more than double in the nematic phase, in comparison to the isotropic phase, further increasing at higher detachment rates. The static work of adhesion, related to the interfacial energy of adhesive contact, is shown to change very little within the explored temperature range. Accordingly, the observed enhanced adhesion in the nematic phase is primarily attributable to the increased internal energy dissipation during the detachment process. This adhesion effect is correlated with the inherent bulk dynamic‐mechanical response in the nematic LCE. The reported enhanced dynamic adhesion can lead to the development of a new class of stimuli‐responsive adhesives.

Electrolyte effects on recirculating dense bubbly flow: An experimental study using X‐ray imaging
Authors: Mandalahalli Manas M. , Wagner Evert C. , Portela Luis M. , Mudde Robert F. 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn this work, the effect of an electrolyte (up to 2 M of NaCl dissolved in water) on a homogeneous dense bubbly flow, in an airlift bubble column, is studied using nonintrusive techniques. X‐ray and high‐speed imaging are used to investigate the bubble size distribution, the local and the global gas‐fraction profiles. The major effect of the electrolyte is the bubble size distribution at the fine‐pore sparger, which is a consequence of the bubble coalescence inhibition promoted by the electrolyte. The bubble plume widening, the increase in overall gas fraction, and the onset of bubble recirculation in the column can all be explained by the bubble size reduction at the fine‐pore spargers. As a result of the bubble size reduction, the overall role of the electrolyte is in a reduction of the driving force for the liquid recirculation. Furthermore, an accumulation of the small bubbles causes a layer of foam at the free surface, which is dynamic in nature and induces additional bubble recirculation.
