The Subjection of the Creature to the Futility of Idolatry: The Scope and Application of Romans 8:19–22
Authors: Perriman Andrew 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
What Paul has to say in Rom 8:19–22 about the subjection of ἡ κτίσις to futility, its bondage to corruption, and its groaning in pain is usually read as a statement about the general condition of creation, ruined by the sin of Adam as indicated in Rom 5:12, which, along with believers in Jesus, yearns for final restoration. The argument put forward here will be that the conceptual frame for the passage is furnished not by the story of the fall but by the more focused and characteristically Hellenistic-Jewish polemic against “Greek” idolatry developed in Rom 1:19–23. What troubles Paul as a pious Jew in the Mediterranean world is the subjection of the material of creation—wood, stone, gold, silver—to futile religious practices that result in the corruption of life. The whole of creation groans in solidarity with the abused “creature,” but in the “present time” there is also a groaning community that bears confident witness to the approaching end of the impious pagan order.

Published: December 2023

There are few studies on those who resume their education after dropping out of high school and fewer still on single mothers who decide to return to school. The present study, initiated by the organization ‘Mamanva à l’école’ (MVE)(Mom Goes to School), aims to (1) identify the facilitating elements and challenges encountered by single mothers enrolled in general adult education and vocational training and (2) identify ways of supporting them in their roles as students and parents in order to foster their retention and achievement as well as their parental skills for educating their children and getting involved in their schooling. Conducted by means of six group interviews with 39 single mothers and analyzed using a qualitative approach, the study reveals needs specific to the reality of the participants’ lives. For instance, some express the desire to form a separate group apart from young students. They are clear about their need for daycare in their learning centers. These findings can inspire MVE in its mission and guide the Tracking Table in deciding what avenues to privilege in the next stages of a school-family-community partnership regarding mothers' relations to school and to children's school learning.
Promoting closer ties and cooperation between the school, the family and the community in the framework of intercultural education

Published: December 2023

This paper describes the findings of a comparative study of rural and urban communities in Cyprus concerning the perceptions of primary school teachers and community stakeholders as regards school–community relations. The data were collected via a semi-structured interviewing technique amongst primary school teachers and community stakeholders. The analysis of the qualitative data demonstrates that both primary teachers and community stakeholders whether in a rural or an urban area consider school– community cooperation as a positive and important factor in their respective spheres of interest. However, teachers were found to maintain a more conservative stance towards relationships with the local community, believing that their professional autonomy is threatened by interferences of community stakeholders and agents. Furthermore, there was a divergence of perceptions between rural participants and their urban counterparts as regards to the extent to which such a cooperation should take place; both teachers and community stakeholders in rural areas seemed to be more willing to extend their communication and their relations in additional fields. On the contrary, teachers and community stakeholders in urban sites seemed more conservative towards such a situation; they regard that such a cooperation and such relations should be limited. The findings come to validate similar findings reported in the limited literature in Cyprus (Georgiou, 1998; Symeou, 2002) and indicate that there is a lot of ground to be covered towards extending and improving school–community relations for the benefit of all institutions concerned.
Memaknai Kerja melalui Lensa Teologis Rasul Paulus
Authors: DAPUTRA ODORICO 
Published: December 2023

Manusia adalah makhluk yang diciptakan untuk bekerja. Sebagai makhluk yang senantiasa bekerja, tindakan tersebut telah begitu melekat pada dirinya yang utuh. Melalui pekerjaannya, manusia berupaya untuk mewujudkan sikap dan otoritas Allah di dalam dunia ini yang dilandaskan oleh karakter-Nya sebagai Sang Pekerja. Sementara itu, di dalam rentangan waktu perjalanan gereja, Kekristenan telah jauh mengalami perkembangan semenjak periode abad pertengahan dengan melekatnya praktik-praktik kaum monastik. Di sinilah istilah pekerjaan dan kerja mengalami reduksi melalui gagasan-gagasan dalam praktik monastik oleh para klerikal yang senantiasa hidup melayani Allah di dalam biara dan gereja. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, pekerjaan dan pelayanan telah terdikotomisasi laiknya dua kubu yang berbeda bahkan berseberangan.
Karya tulis ini berfokus kepada analisis terhadap surat-surat kiriman Rasul Paulus dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif bukan eksperimental yang bertujuan menganalisis literatur-literatur teologis demi berupaya menunjukkan bahwa pekerjaan adalah pengabdian diri seutuhnya kepada Allah yang melaluinya, setiap manusia sebagai ciptaan menurut gambar-Nya, dipanggil untuk menjalankan mandat Allah pada Kejadian 1:26-28 beserta seluruh aspek yang dilakukan dalam hidupnya.

Elections have become the mainstream of modern countries. Elections are founded on the principle of equality, namely that every citizen has equal rights and position in the government, therefore every citizen actually has the same power to govern. This people's power is the source of legitimacy and legality of state power. Freedom, Security, Justice and Peace in General Elections must be obtained by all Indonesian people in essence. Of course, this cannot be realized if there is no national stability. Elections do not only rely on the state or military, but involve the strength and role of individual citizens, including non-governmental or private organizations. To hold free, safe, fair and peaceful elections in the General Election, space and mechanisms for full participation must be created, where citizens develop democratic mechanisms and have the power to make decisions in accordance with the wishes of the citizens themselves, without any persuasion or intimidation from other parties. party. interested parties, because the idea of democracy being promoted is actually quite simple, namely to protect the rights of citizens in exercising their freedom to express opinions. For this reason, freedom, security, justice and peace in general elections must be maintained by the government and the government must build stability in the country in implementing elections well.

Authors: Barus Sabari , Ginting Budiman , Saidin  , Nasution Faisal Akbar 
Published: December 2023

Objective: This research aims to find arguments (theories) to ensure that foreign direct investment does not conflict with but is in accordance with the values of Pancasila and the provisions of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

Conceptual foundation: Each country in the world cannot isolate itself but must establish relationships and work together to achieve the good of those countries. Robert Jackson and Georg Sorensen said that each other's countries are independent and have sovereignty. But they are not estranged from each other. They are adjacent to and influence each other and side by side and opposite each other. Therefore, complete separation of one country from another is not an option. A country that is isolated and disconnected from other countries will usually suffer.

Method: This research is normative juridical using conceptual, statutory, and historical approaches. The legal materials used are primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, which are collected systematically according to the issues of concern in this research and the collection technique uses literature study, then the problems are analyzed qualitatively.

Result and conclusion: Foreign direct investment has a position as part and complement of the Indonesian economic system because its existence is in accordance with the values contained in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
Contribution: The results of this research convince and invite the Indonesian people that the presence of foreign direct investment in the Indonesian economic system no longer needs to be debated, but accept foreign direct investment as a complement and encourage growth and realize the welfare of the Indonesian people in accordance with the Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
The impact of Federal Reserve Interest Rate Hikes on the Systemic Risk of the U.S. Banking Industry: Based on Semi-Parametric Vine Copula SCCA Model
Authors: Chen Zhengbang , Jin Xin 
Published: December 2023

We use the Vine Copula SCCA model to measure the systemic risk of the US banking industry, and compares the impact of two different events, external risk and Fed rate hike on systemic risk. The results demonstrate that the systemic risk of the US banking industry reached its peak when affected by external shocks (2020) but was quickly released by market rescue measures. When the Fed raised interest rates consecutively in 2022, large banks showed good resistance to risk, but the joint default risk of small and medium-sized banks remained at a significant level for a long time, indicating that interest rate hikes may have increased the systemic risk of the US banking industry. US banking industry should maintain good risk management and prudent operation, and the regulatory intensity they receive also needs to be strengthened.
Dynamics of Harmony: A Comparison of Principles between Ikebana and Mondrian’s Neoplasticism
Authors: Chai Tze Lo Cherie , Simatrang Sone , Joneurairatana Eakachat 
Published: December 2023

The paper Ikebana and Mondrian's Neoplasticism explores the meaning and form of harmony. By integrating the principles of traditional Japanese floral arrangement, Ikebana with the principles of neoplasticism harmony evolves, not as a static state but that of push and pull drawn on the thinking of Piet Mondrian. The discussion sprung from a deeply personal search for harmony through two seemingly contradictory schools of thought and cultures: Japanese flower arrangement and the abstract art of Piet Mondrian. By bending branches and shaping lines, the nature of harmony takes a visceral form. Initially, they appear similar, not in expression but in their absolute stillness. The East seeks harmony through accord, the West through the reconciliation of discord. Yet beneath the surface, Ikebana and Mondrian grapple with a push and pull, searching for concord amidst tensions. I argue that harmony is a dynamic, fluctuating state that is deceptively perceived as a state of stillness.

Published: December 2023

With the introduction of green building, solid waste utilization has become a key research focus in civil engineering. Recycled concrete technology plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of the concrete industry. However, its durability in cold regions remains a pressing challenge for engineers. This paper reviews domestic and international studies to summarize the performance and degradation mechanisms of recycled concrete under freeze-thaw cycles, focusing on four factors: recycled aggregate proportion, freeze-thaw cycle conditions, water-to-cement ratio, and admixtures. Evaluation systems for frost resistance of recycled concrete are also summarized. Finally, improvement measures for enhancing the frost resistance of recycled concrete are proposed, providing a theoretical basis for further research and engineering applications in this field.
BGSSN: Breast Cancer-Associated Genes Prediction Based on Weighted Sample-Specific Networks of Cancer Subtypes
Authors: Liu Qian , Zhang Yuanyuan , Zheng Haoyu , Wang Shudong 
Published: December 2023

Breast cancer exhibits a notable degree of heterogeneity in its occurrence and progression, encompassing diverse clinical patterns and outcomes among patients even with identical clinical pathological stages. Genetic mutations in different subtypes of breast cancer may lead to different types of disease and have different clinical implications. Therefore, molecular typing based on the characteristics of breast cancer heterogeneity and the screening of associated genes for different subtypes of breast cancer may be able to more accurately determine the pathogenic genes of breast cancer. In this paper, we propose a weighted sample-specific network based on breast cancer subtypes to predict associated genes, named BGSSN. To better reflect the individual characteristics of patients and the importance of patient samples in different subtypes, the weight of samples is added when constructing the sample-specific network. The random walk with restart method is then utilized to predict new breast cancer-associated genes within the constructed network. By leveraging this method, the network structure can be effectively explored to identify potential gene candidates.

Published: December 2023

In oil and gas exploration and development, the complex working conditions of high temperature and high pressure are increasing, and the strength decline of silica-cement often occurs under such conditions. In this work, the metakaolin influence on the mechanical properties and micro-structure of silica-cement at 240 ℃ and 21 MPa condition is comprehensively studied. XRD technique investigated the chemical composition of cement crystal phase, and SEM observed the micro-morphology of high temperature cement. Results showed that the loading metakaolin has reduced porosity by 12.86%, air permeability while greatly increased nanopore (＜50nm) by 36.47% and increased nanopore (＜10 nm) by 10.34%. Thus, the cement permeability reduced greatly or its anti-channelling enhanced, that is, such results improved the comprehensive performance of cement slurry. These observations, combined with the previously reported the remarkable enhancement of the MK cement compressive strength, represent a major step toward the development of strength retrogression-resistant material at high temperature.
