EDUCATING THE HEART OF A PILGRIM: IN CONVERSATIONS WITH DILEXIT NOS AND SPES NON CONFUNDIT
Authors: Firmansyah Antonius 
Published: January 2025

Christians are pilgrims on this earth journeying towards the fulfilment of time. At the same time, they are also journeying along so many different axes of this world. Harmonizing the two journeys presents the Christians with a never-ending task of spiritually revitalizing themselves. The excess of progressing through secular journey as Christians brings a lot of toils to the center of their spirituality, the heart. Pope Francis recent encyclic, Dilexit Nos, provides us with insights on the spiritual capacity of the heart. Especially, his treatment of St. Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises on human heart may provide us with inspiration on the heart as the source of spiritual energy for journeying on the pilgrimage in this world. Combine with his bull for the Jubilee of 2025, Spes Non Confundit, we can perceive a wider context for the journeying Christians in basing their pilgrim on the capacity of the heart to hope.
REFLECȚIE IDENTITAR-LITURGICĂ ASUPRA CONSTRUCȚIEI CORTULUI ÎNTÂLNIRII. CRITICĂ TEXTUALĂ A CAPITOLELOR 25-40 DIN EXOD III
Authors: SUCIU Iulian Antoniu 
Published: January 2025

Liturgical-Identitary Reflection Regarding the building of the Tent of Meeting. Textual criticism of Exodus 25-40. The pursuit of God's presence stands as a paramount objective in the observance of sacred rituals. The Tent of Meeting, meticulously crafted at the behest of divine command, serves as the locus where the Almighty dwells amidst His people. The conclusion of the Book of Exodus lays the foundational stones of divine worship and liturgical tradition. Chapters 35-40 of Exodus offer a vivid portrayal of the construction of the sanctuary, ordained by YHWH to signify His abiding presence amidst the children of Israel. Even a superficial perusal of these concluding chapters reveals notable disparities between the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint. Thus, what becomes of the assertion, "they did everything just as the Lord had commanded"? The allure of Holy Scripture lies precisely in its myriad versions and translations, which have flourished across diverse historical and cultural landscapes. However, the existence of one rendition does not preclude another. The Hebrew original does not nullify the Septuagint, for instance, in the pursuit of a standardized, singular version. The pristine manuscript is now a relic of antiquity. Instead, we are bestowed with copies, translations, interpretations, and textual divergences. This inquiry aims to scrutinize these various sources, discerning and dissecting their similarities and disparities. We cannot focus solely on one textual variant and disregard all others in order to formulate our overarching conclusions regarding the sacred text.

This research aims to improve the students’ writing skill through Teacher Feedback strategy at First Semester Students of English Letters Department UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta in 2024-2025. The subjects of this research were 27 students of A class. This research used a cycle of Classroom Action Research, and it consisted of five meetings. The CAR cycle contents are Planning, Acting, Observing, and Reflecting. This research used two types of data, and they were qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were obtained through observations during the teaching learning activities. Moreover, the quantitative data were the scores of the students’ writing recount text before the implementation of the Feedback (pre-test) and after the implementation of the Feedback (post-test). The students’ pre-test scores showed that the total was 1250. In this degree, the mean that the researcher gained in students’ pre-test score was 46.30. Furthermore, the students’ post-test scores showed the total was 2062. In this degree, the mean that the researcher gained in students’ post-test was 76.37. It can be seen that there was an improvement on students’ mean scores. Most of the students’ scores were increased from the pre-test and the post-test scores. It was from 29.63% (8 students) who passed the minimum score to 81.48% (22 students) of the 27 students. It can be seen that there was a significant improvement from the percentage before and after treatments. In short, applying Teacher Feedback strategy in teaching learning process can significantly improve the writing skills of the students.
Gabapentin and alprazolam pretreatment enhance sedation and reduce propofol requirements but do not improve intravenous catheter placement in cats undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy

Abstract

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate whether pretreatment with gabapentin or alprazolam in cats increases sedation, facilitates intravenous catheter placement (IVCP), or reduces propofol requirements for intubation compared to placebo.

Methods
All cats that participated in this prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled clinical trial were admitted for elective ovariohysterectomy at a veterinary teaching hospital from 2022 to 2023. The cats were healthy, were ≥ 6 months old, and weighed > 3 kg. The cats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: group G received gabapentin (100 mg/cat), group A received alprazolam (0.125 mg/cat), and group P received a placebo. Ninety minutes after the pretreatment administration, premedication with acepromazine (0.02 mg/kg) and buprenorphine (0.02 mg/kg) was administered intramuscularly. Thirty minutes later, sedation levels, IVCP difficulty, and propofol requirements for intubation were evaluated.

Results
A total of 60 cats were finally included, with 20 cats in each group. Sedation scores were significantly higher in both group G and group A compared to group P, with no significant difference observed between group G and group A. No differences were observed in the difficulty of IVCP among the groups. Propofol requirements for intubation were significantly lower in group A (4.6 ± 1.2 mg/kg) compared to both group G (6.7 ± 2.4 mg/kg) and group P (8.4 ± 1.9 mg/kg).

Conclusions
Pretreatment with gabapentin or alprazolam increased sedation in cats undergoing premedication. Alprazolam reduced the propofol required for intubation, though neither drug facilitated IVCP.

Clinical Relevance
The findings of our study can have implications for anesthesia protocols in feline patients.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To examine the effects of age, sex, year of death/sample collection, and liver histopathology on liver copper concentrations in dogs fed a wide variety of commercial dog foods throughout their lives.

METHODS
This study utilized all bioarchived liver samples collected during necropsy at time of death from 2006 to 2022 from dogs housed in a closed feeding colony. Liver samples were analyzed on a dry matter basis for copper concentration by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry and did not require specific criteria for selection. The effects of animal age, year of death/collection, sex, and liver histopathology on liver copper concentrations were assessed.

RESULTS
Liver samples were analyzed from 296 dogs. Age and sex had no effect on liver copper concentrations, which increased linearly over time by an average of 3.41 ppm per year but remained within the normal reference range. Quantile regression indicated that the lowest 5% and highest 5% of liver copper concentrations analyzed were not changing and only a slight increase (3.7 ppm per year) was observed in the lower 25th quantile. The mean copper concentration of abnormal liver histopathology samples was not different from the mean copper concentration of normal liver histopathology samples.

CONCLUSIONS
Histopathologic findings or animal demographic did not impact liver copper concentrations over a 16-year period. Liver copper concentration increased linearly but remained within the normal reference range.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Mean liver copper concentrations for each year remained within normal limits. Studies assessing the impact of specific nutrient profiles and sources in various populations are warranted.

Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Pelaksanaan Pemilihan Kepala Desa Serentak di Masa Pandemi Covid-19 di Desa Ridan Permai, Kabupaten Kampar 2021. Indikator Partisipasi Masyarakat adalah: Rasional Nilai, Rasional Instrumental, Tradisional dan Emosional Afektif. Dari hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Partisipasi Masyarakat sangat rendah dalam mengikuti Pemilihan Kepala Desa di Desa Ridan Permai tahun 2021. Penyebab rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat terdapat kesalahan dari panitia pelaksana Pemilihan Kepala Desa dalam pemutakhiran data pemilih, penundaan jadwal pelaksanaan Pemilihan Kepala Desa oleh pemerintah kabupaten Kampar, faktor situasi pandemic Covid-19, serta kurangnya sosialisasi dari stakeholder kepada masyarakat mengenai pelaksanaan Pemilihan Kepala Desa, sehingga masyarakat tidak tahu akan manfaat dan tujuan dari Pemilihan Kepala Desa itu sendiri dan masyarakat lebih mengutamakan pekerjaan serta kegiatan dan aktifitas sehari-hari di banding mengikuti Pemilihan Kepala Desa. Dilihat dari beberapa indikator menyebabkan rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat pada pelaksanaan Pemilihan Kepala Desa. Pihak panitia dan penyelenggara Pemilihan Kepala Desa diharapkan mampu mengevaluasi untuk pelaksanaan pemilihan kedepannya. Supaya masyarakat dapat memahami arti pentingnya Pemilihan Kepala Desa. Sehingga nantinya diharapkan tampil seorang figur kepala desa yang mampu memimpin dan mengayomi masyarakat serta menjalankan program kemasyarakatan dengan baik untuk enam tahun kedepan.

Published: January 2025

This article presents the results of a study of the temperature dependences of the coefficients of thermal expansion and isothermal compressibility of the ternary compound TlGaS2. In the studied temperature range (80-400 K), no anomalies were found in the temperature dependences of these properties. The thermal expansion coefficient of the TlGaS2 semiconductor compound is calculated based on empirical formulas including Debye temperature and Debye functions, and the average energy of the crystal lattice is calculated and its temperature dependence is tabulated. It was shown that the energy of the crystal lattice depends on the degree of anharmonicity of the oscillations.
CORRELATION BETWEEN PROJECT INITIATION AND PERFORMANCE OF SLUMS UPGRADING PROJECTS IN NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA: RESCUING THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL ELEVEN FOR RESILIENT URBAN CITIES
Authors: Ombwayo Janet , Kidombo Harriet , Gakuu Christopher 
Published: January 2025

Objective: This paper sought to assess the influence project initiation phase on performance of slums upgrading projects (PSUP) in various slums of Nairobi city County in Kenya following slum upgrading initiatives by government with aim of achieving first target of sustainable development goal eleven.

Theoretical Framework: The study was anchored on empowerment theory that postulates that through coalitions at the community level, members are empowered to effectively collaborate for building of social capital that provides solutions to emerging issues.

Method: The study was guided by pragmatism whereby both positivism and constructivism were adopted. Correlational research design and descriptive survey research designs were considered appropriate for the former supported inferential statistics while the latter was ideal for collecting quantitative and qualitative data concurrently. By relying on descriptive survey and correlational research designs, 208 study participants are surveyed out of a sample of 266 drawn the target population of 794. Qualitative data was presented in narrative form.

Results and Discussion: The results reveal that even though activities within project conceptualization and setting up of project deliverables are still a challenge, project initiation is to a small extent properly executed due to inadequate stakeholder identification and insufficient community needs assessment process. From the regression analysis, project initiation showed a very strong positive linear and significant relationship with PSUP. The null hypothesis was rejected in favour of the alternate hypothesis and thus concluded that project initiation has a significant influence on PSUP.

Research Implications: Stakeholders identification and community needs assessment were not largely achieved thus having a negative impact on project initiation phase and activities therein, there is need for a policy framework to guide the initiation process and ensure that project objectives or goals are people centred. In addition, the slum dwellers should be adequately involved in the initiation phase as this will help mitigate frictions and disagreements preceding project planning and execution phases, unnecessary delays and waste of resources. It is important for all the state agencies involved in slum upgrading in Kenya to adhere to critical needs of the project initiation phase for successful implementation of slum upgrading projects.
