The United Church of Canada's Theology of Inclusion
Authors: Schweitzer Don 
Published: January 2025

[Figure: see text] After the 1960s, as cultural, linguistic, racial, and other differences increasingly defined peoples' identities, inclusivity became one of The United Church of Canada's (UCC's) defining characteristics and goals. But in 2000, a critique rose within UCC on inclusivity as presuming a power imbalance between those deciding who will be included and how, and those being included. This critique continued as UCC embarked on becoming an intercultural church. In UCC's 2022 strategic plan, inclusivity is scarcely mentioned. Yet the theme of inclusivity permeates the strategic plan and other UCC documents. While inclusivity has been sublated in UCC, this article demonstrates that its enduring values have been taken up and preserved in UCC's theology of an intercultural church. It will then illuminate the concept of inclusion with ideas from Michael Walzer, Jürgen Habermas, and Charles Taylor. Finally, the nature and grounding of inclusivity in the doctrine of God will be discussed using ideas of Gustavo Gutierrez.

The workshop on using technology applications as a learning medium for MTs Al-Ittihad teachers was based on the problem identified by the Postgraduate School Faculty service team, Universitas Lancang Kuning, namely the lack of knowledge about digital literacy in contemporary learning. For this reason, training in using technology applications in learning should be provided. This workshop was held in May 2023 at MTs Al-Ittihad School with 20 participants for 4 hours. To measure the level of teacher understanding, the service team provided questionnaires in the sessions before and after activities. The results of the pre-test regarding the use of technology applications namely ChatGPT, Vocaroo, and Tricider, showed that 93% -100% of the participants did not know about these technology applications. However, after the training was given, the results of the post test showed that 100% of the participants understood and could use the learning technology applications provided. Finally, the service team concluded that teachers really need knowledge about ICT empowerment in order to improve the achievement of learning outcomes.

Musculoskeletal symptoms among dentists in relation to work
posture
Authors: Navah Z. Ratzon  , Tal Yaros  , Alona Mizlik  , Tamar Kanner  
Published: January 2025

{\it Objective:} To determine the effect of work posture on
musculosketal complaints in Israeli dentists.
{\it Methods:} The population included 60 male dentists mean age was
46.0 (\pm SD 8.66), 30 worked in sitting position and 30 were altering
positions. Study population completed the standardized Nordic questionnaire
and informative form concerning recipient's practice of dentistry,
bio-demographic variables and questions about workloads.
{\it Results:} Musculoskeletal symptoms in the last 12 months were
localized primarily in the lower back and in the neck (55% and 38.3%
respectively). There was a significant correlation between the time spent
sitting and the severity of low back pain (r = 0.41, p = 0.01). On the other
hand there was no significant correlation between time spent sitting and
other musculoskeletal complaints (r = - 0.16).
{\it Conclusions:} Dentists who work in the sitting position have more
severe low back pain than do those who alternate between sitting and
standing despite the fact that those who sat at least 80% of the time worked
less hours and had less of a workload during their working hours. This
suggests that altering position should be recommended to dentists. An
intervention study, however, is needed to demonstrate that changing posture
will decrease the prevalence of low back pain in dentists.
Interaction between employees’ physical load factors and early support at
the workplace

Published: January 2025

Physical workload is a continuous problem, even in modern workplaces.
The purpose of the survey was to determine the effect of support on
employees’ physical load factors at workplaces. Training, guidance and
support were the main focus areas of the early support intervention, which
aimed to enable supervisors to find weak signals of impaired ergonomics.
The survey was carried out in the form of a controlled longitudinal
study, and the material was gathered via a questionnaire in both 2008 and
2010 from two co-operative trade groups. The final sample was 301
intervention subjects and 235 control subjects, and the response rate was
45% in both groups. We applied factor analysis to reduce the number of
items. The physical load factors’ sum score consisted of six items. We used
logistic regression in the statistical analysis.
Encouragement to improve processes at the workplace increased the
probability of positive change (i.e. decrease) in physical load factors. The
same applied to working pace, if individuals could control it themselves. In
contrast, workload and the support of supervisors had a reversed impact on
workers’ physical load factors. Focusing on promoting workers’ ergonomics is
still important in workplaces when aiming to decrease physical load factors.

ABSTRAK

Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sering ditemukan yang dinamakan getaran. Jika ada gempa bumi di tempat kita berpijak mengalami getaran maka kita mengatakan bahwa bumi bergetar. Getaran seperti itu sebenarnya dihasilkan oleh benda yang mengalami gangguan sehingga ia bergerak boalk-balik di antara titik keseimbangannya. Apabila getaran tersebut menjalar ke benda-benda lainnya, maka terjadilah rambatan getaran yang disebut gelombang. Percobaan dengan alat pratikum ayunan sedrhana dan pipa U ini bertujuan untuk menentukan besarnya gaya gravitasi bumi, menghitung timggi ayunan (h), waktu ayunan(t) dan perioda ayunan (T). Pratikum dilakukan dengan mengamati perubahan nilai gaya gravitasi bumi dengan menambah tinggi ayunan dan air pada pipa U Prinsip kerja pada alat pratikum ini dalah dengan memutar tali yang di ikatkan pada pipa dengan memvariasikan panjang tali.

ABSTRACT

In everyday life we ​​often find things called vibrations. If there is an earthquake where we stand there is a vibration then we say that the earth is shaking. Such vibrations are actually produced by objects experiencing disturbances so that they move back and forth between their balance points. If these vibrations spread to other objects, a vibration propagation occurs which is called a wave. This experiment using a simple swing practical tool and a U pipe aims to determine the magnitude of the earth's gravitational force, calculate the swing height (h), swing time (t) and swing period (T). The practicum is carried out by observing changes in the value of the earth's gravitational force by increasing the height of the swing and the water in the U pipe. The working principle of this practicum tool is to rotate the rope tied to the pipe by varying the length of the rope.

Keywords: Gravity Force, Simple Swing, U Pipe

Objectives: To describe the seasonal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) burden in Italy considering the current prophylaxis strategy with palivizumab recommended only for high-risk infants (representing only 4.4% of an estimated birth cohort) and to evaluate the potential benefits of a new prophylaxis strategy targeting all infants with nirsevimab.
Methods: A static decision analytic model previously used in the US was adapted to evaluate the RSV-related health and cost outcomes associated with nirsevimab versus standard of care (SoC) for the prevention of RSV medically attended lower respiratory tract infections (RSV-MA-LRTIs). Monthly probabilities of RSV infections, health events, mortality, and complications associated with RSV infections were obtained from the literature. Costs associated with each event were obtained using the available literature and through real-world data analysis of National Hospital Discharge Records.
Results: For one RSV season, in the current SoC, the model estimated 216,100 RSV-MA-LRTIs, 15,121 associated complications, and 16 RSV-deaths–corresponding to an economic burden of approximately €50.5 million related to RSV-MA-LRTIs management, €10.9 million associated with potential complications due to RSV and €3 million in lost productivity due to RSV-deaths. Nirsevimab is expected to prevent 100,208 RSV-MA-LRTIs, 6,969 complications, and 6 deaths due to RSV infections, corresponding to an economic saving of about €23.3, €5, and €1.2 million, respectively.
Conclusion: Nirsevimab is a new prophylaxis strategy that helps to protect all infants against RSV disease and could substantially reduce the clinical and economic burden of RSV in Italy in infants experiencing their first RSV season.

Published: January 2025

Background: Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) δ Syndrome (APDS) is an ultra-rare, potentially life-threatening disease that lacks approved treatments in Spain. This study aimed to apply Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to assess the value of the first pharmacological treatment for APDS in Spain.
Methods: A multidisciplinary group of 8 experts evaluated the selective PI3Kδ inhibitor leniolisib against Standard of Care (SoC). An MCDA framework tailored for Orphan Drugs (ODs), consisting of 5 comparative and 2 quantitative non-comparative criteria, was used. Re-scoring followed a group discussion.
Results: Leniolisib scored higher than SoC in all criteria, including efficacy and safety. It was deemed highly valuable as the first disease-modifying treatment, with a positive therapeutic impact and potential to improve patients’ quality of life. Additionally, leniolisib may lead to cost savings. The supporting data was considered of high quality.
Conclusion: Based on MCDA methodology and stakeholder experience in APDS management, leniolisib is seen as a value-added treatment option compared to SoC in Spain.

Investigations on some innate immunity proteins can yield misleading information, as investigators often rely on static measurements and assume a direct correlation to function. As protein function is often not directly proportional to protein abundance, and mechanistic pathways are interconnected and under constant feedback regulatory control, functional analysis is required. In this study, we used functional mass spectrometry to measure anti-protease and complement activity in plasma obtained from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Our data suggests that within 48 h of hospital admission, COVID-19 patients undergo a protease storm with significantly elevated neutrophil elastase (p &lt; 0.001) and lymphocyte granzyme B (p &lt; 0.01), while, anti-protease activity is significantly increased, including alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT; p &lt; 0.001) and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT; p &lt; 0.001). Concurrently, the ratio of C3a to C3beta activity significantly decreased with increasing COVID-19 severity, suggesting more complement activation (Mild COVID-19 p &lt; 0.05; Severe COVID-19 p &lt; 0.001). Activity levels of AAT, ACT and C3a/C3beta remained unchanged over 10 hospital days. Our data suggests that COVID-19 is associated with both a protease storm and complement activation, with the former somewhat balanced with increased anti-protease activity. Evaluation of the AAT/ACT ratio and C3a/C3beta ratio indicated that COVID-19 severity is associated with both neutrophil elastase neutralization and complement activation.

Critical-size bone defects (CSDs), which are those that do not self-repair in a given period, are essential for evaluating bone-regeneration strategies. We established CSDs models in the rabbit cranium and ulna, and the bone-regeneration capacities of porous calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics were assessed. A 12.6-mm cranial defect was confirmed as a CSDs after 12 weeks, with submicron surface-structured biphasic calcium-phosphate (BCP) implants [consisting of 20% hydroxyapatite and 80% tricalcium phosphate (TCP)] demonstrating significantly higher bone formation (32.2% ± 10.6%) than micron surface-structured TCP (TCP-B) implants (17.8% ± 4.6%, p = 0.0121). Ulna defects (15.0 mm in length) failed to heal spontaneously within 24 weeks when the periosteum was removed from both the ulna and radius, and the radius was covered with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. No bone bridging (i.e., union) was observed in the BCP implants at 12 weeks, whereas 80% of BCP implants (four out of five) achieved union by 24 weeks. Furthermore, the bone area within the available space of BCP implants increased significantly from 19.3% ± 7.3% at 12 weeks to 37.7% ± 8.5% at 24 weeks (p = 0.0063), accompanied by significant BCP resorption (14.8% at 12 weeks and 30.2% at 24 weeks). This study offers two rabbit CSDs models for evaluating bone-regeneration strategies (including bone substitution), and the overall data obtained in the current study indicate the possibility of repairing CSDs with CaP ceramics demonstrating improved bone-forming ability given adequate implantation time.
