Published: January 2025

Postmodernism, which believes in the principle of relativity and the absence of absolute truth, creates a space of freedom and pleasure for self-expression. However, this principle contradicts the truth of the Word of God which believes in absolutes and the source of true knowledge which only comes from the Bible. The impact of this principle is also that knowledge does not become a unity which causes misconceptions that occur in students. The purpose of this paper is to explain the impact of postmodernism on the development of science in Christian education and to explain the importance of the Bible as a source of truth in Christian education in the era of postmodernism. This paper uses the literature study method. Based on the theory and analysis used, it can be concluded that Christian education in the midst of this secular era must remain firm in making the Bible the foundation in every learning process. Because the Bible is the true source of knowledge that is able to guide students as ambassadors of God's kingdom in true truth. Suggestions that the author can give, namely in the implementation to transfer student knowledge, Christian education must remain consistent in using a curriculum based on the Bible by integrating the Bible in every lesson. ABSTRAK BAHASA INDONESIA: Zaman postmodernisme yang mempercayai prinsip relativitas dan tidak adanya kebenaran yang mutlak menciptakan sebuah ruang kebebasan dan kesenangan untuk dapat mengekspresikan diri. Namun, prinsip ini bertentangan dengan kebenaran dari Firman Allah yang mempercayai adanya kemutlakan dan sumber pengetahuan sejati yang hanya berasal dari Alkitab. Dampak dari prinsip tersebut juga, yaitu pengetahuan tidak menjadi kesatuan yang menyebabkan miskonsepsi yang terjadi pada siswa. Tujuan dari penulisan paper ini, yaitu memberikan penjelasan mengenai dampak postmodernisme untuk pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan di dalam pendidikan Kristen dan memberikan penjelasan tentang pentingnya Alkitab sebagai sumber kebenaran di dalam pendidikan Kristen di era postmodernisme. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode studi literatur. Berdasarkan teori dan analisis yang digunakan maka dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa pendidikan Kristen di tengah zaman yang sekuler ini harus tetap teguh menjadikan Alkitab sebagai landasan di dalam setiap proses pembelajaran. Karena Alkitab adalah sumber pengetahuan sejati yang mampu menuntun siswa sebagai duta kerajaan Allah di dalam kebenaran sejati. Saran yang penulis dapat berikan, yaitu di dalam pelaksanaan untuk mentransfer pengetahuan siswa maka pendidikan Kristen harus tetap konsisten mempergunakan kurikulum yang berlandaskan kepada Alkitab dengan mengintegrasikan Alkitab di dalam setiap pembelajaran.

PENERAPAN METODE FISHBOWL UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA [THE APPLICATION OF FISHBOWL METHOD TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY]
Authors: Hutauruk Ruth Tania Putri , Padang Ariani Tandi 
Published: January 2025

Students are creatures created in the image and likeness of God who have a rationale and intellect. This means that students are given the ability to think critically and understand all existing knowledge. The development of an increasingly advanced era, students are required to have critical thinking skills which are expected to be implemented in their daily lives. However, the sinful nature of humans can cause students to construct their own thoughts and begin to ignore eternal truths. If this is allowed, students will determine their own truth and begin to oppose God's will. Therefore, Christian education and Christian teachers have the responsibility to work on students' critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study is to describe the steps of applying the fishbowl method that can improve students' critical thinking skills. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method supported by relevant and reliable sources. Through the study and research conducted, the author concludes that the fishbowl method is proven to be able to improve students' critical thinking skills. The advice that the author can give is to provide a longer time allocation for the application of the fishbowl method. Students will be encouraged to analyze information and provide solutions that help students in their daily lives. ABSTRAK BAHASA INDONESIA: Siswa merupakan makhluk ciptaan yang segambar dan serupa dengan Allah yang memiliki rasio maupun akal budi. Artinya, siswa diberi kemampuan untuk berpikir kritis dan memahami segala pengetahuan yang ada. Berkembangnya zaman yang semakin maju, siswa dituntut untuk memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis yang diharapkan dapat terimplementasi dalam kehidupannya sehari-hari. Namun, natur manusia yang berdosa dapat mengakibatkan siswa mengonstruksi pemikirannya sendiri dan mulai mengabaikan kebenaran-kebenaran yang bersifat kekal. Apabila hal ini dibiarkan, siswa akan menentukan kebenarannya sendiri dan mulai menentang kehendak Allah. Oleh sebab itu, pendidikan Kristen maupun guru Kristen memiliki tanggung jawab untuk mengupayakan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk memaparkan langkah-langkah penerapan metode fishbowl yang dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif yang didukung oleh sumber-sumber yang relevan dan terpercaya. Melalui kajian dan penelitian yang dilakukan, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa metode fishbowl terbukti mampu meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa.

Published: January 2025

Objectives. To investigate trends in awards funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) focusing on sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) populations from 2012 to 2022 in the United States. Methods. Replicating the method of Coulter et al., we identified NIH-funded awards for SGM research from 2012 to 2022 using the NIH RePORTER (Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Results) system. We coded for SGM subpopulations, demographics, and health content areas. We also inflation adjusted awards to 2022 dollar values. Results. NIH funded 1093 unique awards concerning SGM health, which totaled $491.7 million in first-year funding and made up 0.8% of the NIH portfolio. Frequency of awards nearly tripled over our study period. Most awards focused on HIV/AIDS (65.5%), mental health (29.5%), illicit drug use (19.9%), or sexual health issues (17.0%). We found funding differences across subpopulations: sexually minoritized men (67.8%; $357.9 million), transgender women (18.1%; $77.6 million), sexually minoritized women (13.9%; $57.6 million), transgender men (8.2%; $37.6 million), and nonbinary people (4.4%; $17.6 million). Only 42.2% of awards explicitly examined racial/ethnic identities of participants. Conclusions. Although NIH funding for SGM-related research has increased, persistent inequities indicate the need for systemic changes to advance health equity.

Pose Scoring Model for Refining Multi-Person Poses
Authors: Ghasemi-Naraghi Zeinab , Nickabadi Ahmad , Safabakhsh Reza 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

In multi-person pose estimation, the coordinates of body joints are estimated to predict the body poses of several people in an image. Although significant progress has been made in this area in recent years, the solutions still suffer from certain weaknesses. One weakness is the detection of a larger number of poses than the actual number of human instances in the image. To face this problem, the final poses are often selected by thresholding the detected human scores. This, however, is not optimal because a pose with a lower priority may be assigned a higher score and selected as the final pose. In this paper, we introduce a problem, explain the reason, and present a pose scoring model as a solution. This model predicts the confidence score for the pose based on the human image, the location and the confidence score of the joints and the structure between the joints of the body. We formulate the problem using Conditional Random Fields and introduce suitable potential functions. To infer the best pose score, we design a neural network whose inputs are a human image and an initial pose. To train the model, a lot of training data and corresponding labels should be provided. For this purpose, we introduce Monte Carlo and GAN-based data augmentation methods, and a scoring function to train the model. Also, we investigate the effect of the pose scores on the reliability and accuracy of multi-person pose estimation models. The proposed idea is implemented as a deep neural network and can be easily applied to other multi-person pose estimation models as a model-agnostic method. In addition to the usual pose estimation evaluation metrics, we consider the number of poses to compare the models in terms of reliability. Experiments show that the performance of the proposed model is higher than the state-of-the-art models. Conducting further research can help to simplify and reduce the complexity of the model.

Abstract

Background
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSCs) therapy represents a potential therapeutic tool to treat RA, but loss of secretory property post delivery restricted clinical application. It has been verified that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-MSCs exhibited better inhibition on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) T follicular helper cells (Tfh) via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) activation with unknown molecular mechanism, particulary the overall outcome of ERS-modified MSCs on RA.
Methods
To compare the therapeutic efficacy, thapsigargin (TG)-stimulated or unstimulated MSCs were transplantated into collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. Joint inflammation was evaluated from general and histological aspects. Splenocytes were isolated and flow cytometry was performed to assess the proportion of T helper 1 (Th1), Th17 and Tfh subsets. During mechanism exploration, TRRUST and Cistrome Data Browser databases were used to analyze transcription factors related to COX2 regulation, as well as target genes regulated by activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4). Then western blot and qRT-PCR were employed to determine the level of ATF4 in ERS-MSCs. To verify the function of ATF4 in vivo, ATF4-overexpression MSCs were transplanted to CIA mice, joint inflammation, Th1, Th17 and Tfh subsets were analysed. To clear the molecular regulatory mechanism leading to ATF4 activation, protein levels of protein kinase RNA like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)/phosphorylated-PERK (p-PERK) and eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α)/phosphorylated-eIF2α (p-eIF2α) were examined. Besides, ATF4 and eIF2α/p-eIF2α were checked after PERK blocking. Subsequently, mitochondrial stress was checked in ERS-MSCs. At last, blocking ERS and mitochondrial stress separately or simultaneously, ATF4 and eIF2α/p-eIF2α were checked again.
Results
Compared with MSCs, ERS-MSCs exhibited better therapeutic efficacy in CIA mice. Public databases and bioinformatics analysis confirmed the regulatory role of ATF4 on COX2 and experimental methods further confirmed ATF4-transfected MSCs diminished the joint inflammation of CIA mice. We also demonstrated that during ERS induction, PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation contributes to elevated ATF4 expression. Besides, mitochondrial stress was also provoked in ERS-MSCs, coupling with ERS synergistically regulated ATF4.
Conclusions
ERS-MSCs exhibited better immunosuppresive ability than un-pretreated MSCs through COX2 overexpression, which was regulated by ATF4. Besides, ERS and mitochondrial stress co-regulate ATF4 expression. This study established a new role of ATF4 in promoting secretory properties of MSC and provided a promising MSC-based therapeutic strategy for RA treatment.
A retrospective repeated cross sectional study assessing changes in the prevalence of apical periodontitis associated with the endodontic status and DMFT scores of patients in two adult cohorts (2008/2009 and 2018/2019) attending a UK dental hospital.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Aim:
To compare the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP), endodontic treatments, quality of endodontic treatments and their association with apical radiolucencies and DMFT scores, in patients attending a British National Health Service (NHS) Hospital in 2008-2009 (Cohort 1/C1) and 2018-2019 (Cohort 2/C2).
Methodology
Randomly selected panoramic radiographs of 980 patients, evenly distributed into two cohorts: C1 (2008-2009) and C2 (2018-2019), were retrospectively analysed.
Patient demographics, number of teeth, presence and quality of endodontic treatments, apical radiolucencies in treated and untreated teeth, endodontic treatment quality, apical periodontitis prevalence by tooth type and DMFT scores were compared.
Results: C1 had significantly higher DMFT scores (p<0.001), but similar numbers of teeth to C2. Patients with apical periodontitis had higher DMFT scores and lower number of molars (p<0.001). Similar percentages of untreated teeth had apical periodontitis in C1 (3.4%) and C2 (2.9%) but at a patient level, C2 had significantly fewer endodontic treatments (48.2% vs 41.2%; p=0.015), less apical disease (51%, vs 44%; p=0.04) and fewer endodontically treated teeth (5.5% vs 4.2%; p=0.007). The percentage of endodontically treated teeth with apical periodontitis was similar (29.3%, vs 27.9%). C2 patients had less unsatisfactorily obturated teeth (63.7% vs 57.6%) which was short of significance (p=0.072).
C2 had fewer endodontically treated anterior teeth (p<0.001) but a higher proportion of endodontically treated molars (20.2%, vs 28.7%; p=0.003). A close to significant improvement in the quality of molars’ root canal treatments in C2 was noted (well-obturated teeth C1: 23.48%, c2: 35.11%; p=0.061).
Conclusion
A reduction of caries and endodontic disease burden and a slight improvement in the quality of endodontic treatments in the 2018/2019 cohort was observed. This was not accompanied by increased tooth retention.
Aboveground biomass estimation using multimodal remote sensing observations and machine learning in mixed temperate forest

Abstract

Plants sequester carbon in their aboveground components, making aboveground tree biomass a key metric for assessing forest carbon storage. Traditional methods of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation via Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots lack sufficient sampling intensity to directly produce accurate estimates at fine granularities. Increasing the sampling intensity with additional FIA plots would be labor and time intensive, particularly for large-scale carbon studies. Utilizing remote sensing (RS) data, such as Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), aerial imagery, and satellite images can significantly enhance the efficiency of forest carbon monitoring efforts. The principal objective of this study is to utilize the random forest (RF) algorithm to build predictive AGB models. We utilized 67 explanatory variables, which were extracted from three RS sources resulting in nine RF models. Each RF model was subjected to variable selection, hyperparameter tuning, and model evaluation. The optimum model considered 28 explanatory variables, with root mean square error (RMSE) of 27.19 Mgha− 1 and R2 of 0.41. Combining LiDAR with image metrics increased the accuracy of prediction models, serving as a pivotal tool for large area biomass mapping and carbon related decision making.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objective: This study compared adverse perinatal outcomes between pregnancies complicated by periviable fetal growth restriction (pFGR) that underwent weekly sonographic surveillance versus serial growth surveillance.
Study Design: In this retrospective cohort study, pFGR was defined as a 22 0/7 – 27 6/7-week singleton, < 500g, and ≤ 10 %. The surveillance group initiated weekly Doppler surveillance while the serial growth (SG) group underwent growth assessment every 3-4 weeks between 22 – 27 6/7 weeks. Adverse perinatal outcomes were compared.
Results: 81 (36.2%) underwent weekly surveillance. Despite no difference in perinatal death, the surveillance group demonstrated a higher rate of obstetric (65.4% versus 42.7%, p < 0.05) and neonatal (60.8% versus 28.4%, p < 0.05) adverse outcome composites compared to the SG group.
Conclusion: The surveillance group experienced increased rates of obstetric and neonatal morbidity without difference in perinatal death though interpretation is limited by the observational nature of this study.
