Investigating the Factors Affecting the Design Change In Construction Industry In UAE
Authors: A. A. Tomh Mohsen 
Published: December 2022

The construction industry in Dubai is fundamental and influential to the economy of this emirate. In order to execute projects successfully, it is necessary to deploy and integrate a wide variety of resources, skills, and competencies. Because of this demand, the building industry in Dubai has developed into a prestigious but fragmented one. This is due to a large number of stakeholders in the construction industry in Dubai. This research is designed to investigate the factors that contribute to design change in the construction industry in Dubai, UAE. A construction project is usually processed with a set of interrelated activities happening with the aim of ensuring the client’s requirements are met. These activities are usually classified in a set of stages and phases; one very critical and important phase is the design stage. The findings of the study will provide insight into the factors that cause delays in project completion in Dubai. Owner’s factors, mainly poor coordination among the involved parties appear to be the main factor from the ‘owners’ This finding will assist in identifying the areas, which may need more attention. Similarly, the findings will also help in gaining awareness of other important factors, which cause delays, thus helping decision-makers in effective planning and implementation.
Mencermati Kisah Dipilihnya Matias Dari Spritualitas Kaum Pentakostal
Authors: Manurung Kosma 
Published: December 2022

Both in organizations and in social life, the existence of a leader is absolutely necessary to ensure the maintenance of order and peace in life. The Bible gives various descriptions of the election of a person to become a leader, for example Joseph who was chosen as a leader because he was able to interpret the dreams of Pharaoh or Saul who became king of Israel by lot. This article intends to reinterpret the story of the choice of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot in Acts 1:15-26 from the Pentecostal spirituality frame. By using descriptive research methods and support from literature studies, it is hoped that this research will be able to provide a strong explanation of the variety of leadership choices in the biblical picture, the story of the election of Matthias, and the meaning of the Pentecostals related to this story. It was found that for the Pentecostals, the story of the election of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot was a decision of God whose election was carried out in God's way. This story is also interpreted as God's answer to restore the elect.

Baik dalam organisasi maupun dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat keberadaan pemimpin mutlak perlu untuk memastikan terjaganya ketertiban dan kedamaian hidup. Alkitab memberikan berbagai gambaran terpilihnya seseorang menjadi pemimpin, seumpama Yusuf yang terpilih jadi pemimpin karena mampu menafsirkan mimpi Firaun ataupun Saul yang menjadi raja Israel lewat undian. Artikel ini bermaksud memaknai ulang kisah dipilihnya Matias mengantikan Yudas Iskariot dalam Kisah Para Rasul 1:15-26 dari bingkai spritualitas Pentakostal. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian deskripsi dan dukungan dari kajian literatur, penelitian ini dirahapkan mampu memberikan penjelasan yang kuat tentang ragam pemilihan pemimpin dalam gambaran Alkitab, kisah pemilihan Matias, dan pemaknaan kaum Pentakostal terkait kisah ini. Didapati bahwa bagi kaum Pentakostal, kisah dipilihnya Matias mengantikan Yudas Iskariot ini merupakan keputusan Allah yang pemilihannya dilakukan dengan cara Allah. Kisah ini juga dimaknai sebagai jawaban Allah untuk memulihkan umat pilihan.
Tinjauan Historis – Teologis Terhadap Potrait Yesus Menurut Perjanjian Baru Dan Implikasinya Terhadap Teologi Perjanjian Baru
Authors: Zebua Kasieli , Hura Melianus 
Published: December 2022

The Gospel is the Good News from God to mankind. The Gospel is God's eternal plan in His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, revealed in His incarnation, ministry, suffering, death, resurrection until His coming. Jesus This is the basis and centrality in the Christian faith. Regarding Jesus Christ, many stories have been "fabricated" by His early followers, so that Christians in this century are "victims" of fictional or mere stories. Through a qualitative approach with descriptive analytical methods, namely historical - theological and Biblical texts, this scientific work attempts to describe credible and authentic thoughts and understandings based on the analysis of Christian orthodox (true) beliefs, which are believed throughout the history of Christian faith. The story of Jesus Christ (4 Gospels) is a historical fact. The death and resurrection of Jesus, which are often doubted stories by many, are the central story of worship and the foundation of all Christian thought, the sudden resurrection of an event that falls within the framework of Judeo-Christian history.

Injil adalah Kabar Baik dari Allah untuk umat manusia. Injil merupakan rencana kekal Allah dalam Putra Tunggal-Nya, Yesus Kristus, yang dinyatakan dalam inkarnasi-Nya, pelayanan, penderitaan, kematian, kebangkitan hingga kedatangan-Nya kembali. Yesus Inilah yang menjadi dasar dan sentralitas dalam iman Kristen. Mengenai Yesus Kristus, banyak kisah yang telah “direkayasa” oleh para pengikut-Nya mula-mula, sehingga umat Kristen pada abad ini merupakan “korban” dari kisah fiktif atau khayalan semata. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif analitis, yakni analisis historis - teologis dan teks Alkitab, karya ilmiah ini berupaya mendeskripsikan pemikiran dan pemahaman yang kredibel dan autentik berdasarkan keyakinan kekristenan ortodoks (benar), yang diyakini disepanjang sejarah iman kekristenan. Kisah tentang Yesus Kristus (4 kitab Injil) merupakan fakta sejarah. Kematian dan kebangkitan Yesus Kristus, yang merupakan kisah yang seringkali diragukan oleh banyak orang, ini adalah kisah sentral dalam ibadah dan dasar dari semua pemikiran Kristen, kebangkitan bukanlah sekedar insiden melainkan sebuah peristiwa yang berada dalam kerangka sejarah Yudeo – Kristen.

Authors: Liu Brian , Khawaja Hussain 
Published: December 2022

Background Cardiac telemetry is an integral part of inpatient medicine, although it is also costly, labor-intensive, and a limited resource. In this quality improvement initiative, we surveyed nurses, residents, and attending physicians regarding their knowledge and application of the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for telemetry usage. Methods Our study included developing and implementing a survey among nurses, residents, and attendings in a major academic teaching hospital. Participants’ application of the AHA guidelines was also evaluated using a 7-question sample of hypothetical patient scenarios. A total of 73 physicians and 64 nurses were surveyed. Results were analyzed using chi-square test analysis, and a p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Physicians reported being more comfortable than nurses in discontinuing telemetry (p<0.001) although nurses reported being more comfortable with the AHA guidelines compared to physicians (p<0.001). 81% of physicians somewhat or strongly agreed that cardiac telemetry was overused versus 48% of nurses (p<0.001). Attending physicians were more comfortable than resident physicians with the AHA guidelines, discontinuing telemetry, and daily review of telemetry orders. In four out of seven hypothetical scenarios, nurses reported being more likely to use telemetry compared to physicians when telemetry was not indicated. Conclusion There is a notable difference in knowledge and attitudes toward utilization and indications of cardiac telemetry among nurses, resident and attending physicians. An educational program is warranted detailing the AHA cardiac telemetry guidelines and their clinical application.

Published: December 2022

Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an important healthcare-associated pathogen. This study aimed to identify factors associated with CRKP isolation among hospitalized patients, describe molecular epidemiology, and mortality associated with CRKP isolation. Methods We performed a case-control study at two university-affiliated teaching hospitals. We included 150 patients (30 cases and 120 controls). Each patient with CRKP, a case-patient, was matched with four controls by admission facility, admission date, age, and sex. Controls, patients without CRKP, were randomly selected from a computerized list of inpatients whose admission date was the same as that of the case, within 48 hours of the date of the initial positive culture. We calculated the risk of in-hospital death as the number of deaths divided by the number of cases and evaluated the risk of mortality associated with the site of positive culture. Molecular epidemiology investigation using comparison of restricted DNA patterns of CRKP by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was conducted. Results A greater proportion of cases than controls had undergone an invasive procedure, including use of a central vein catheter, or mechanical nutrition by tube feeding. Pre-admission treatment within two months with the following antibiotic classes was associated with CRKP isolation: carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, anti-pseudomonal penicillins, and cephalosporins. The molecular analysis indicated that over 90% of isolates shared similar PFGE patterns. CRKP isolation was associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality in comparison to controls. Positive cultures from sites other than urine were associated with substantially higher mortality than was a positive urine culture (RR= 4.0). Conclusions The use of multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics, multiple comorbid conditions and poor performance status are important risk factors for developing CRKP in a hospitalized population.

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with front line health care provider burnout, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We sought to better understand how nurses and physicians of differing genders may have been affected differently by the COVID-19 crisis. Methods Between July 17, 2020, and October 31, 2020, we surveyed nurses and physicians caring for COVID-19 patients at a large, academic, public safety net hospital in the southern United States. Survey questions were adapted from validated questionnaires used to determine quality of life, assess levels of anxiety, and determine how COVID-19 may have affected our nurses’ and physicians’ work, home and social lives. Results Overall, 120 (41.7%) providers responded, including 39 (50%) physicians and 81 (38.6%) nurses. 69.3% reported disruption to their home/family, 76.3% to their social lives, and 29.8% worried about financial strain. More nurses than physicians worried about being excluded from social gatherings (59.7% v 35.1%, p=0.01). Similarly, 70.1% of nurses and 46.0% of physicians expressed concern of exposing others to COVID-19 (p=0.01). Nurses also expressed greater concern about being treated differently by others when compared to physicians (64.5% v 37.8%, p= 0.01). Female physicians reported greater difficulty separating their personal lives from their professional lives than male physicians and either male or female nurses (84.6%% vs 35% vs 33.3% vs 35.9%, p <0.05). Most physicians (89.7%) and nurses (93.8%) reported some level of anxiety, with 31.5% of respondents experiencing moderate or severe anxiety. Conclusion Healthcare workers on the frontline of COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of profession, reported increased anxiety that extended beyond the hospital into their homes and social lives. Physicians and nurses, as well as men and women, reported different sources and degrees of stress and disruption to their work, home and social lives.
CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC MANAGEMENT OF RALSTONIA SOLANACEARUM CAUSING BACTERIAL WILT OF TOMATO
Authors: Atiq Muhammad 
Published: December 2022

Bacterial wilt is an important disease of tomato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, which causes 90% yield losses. The present research was done to evaluate the effect of different chemicals against bacterial wilt of tomato. By using inhibition zone technique, five chemicals (Oxyrich, Forum top, Electus Super, Cabriotop and Kocide) at three different concentrations (250, 300 and 350 ppm) along with control were evaluated against R. solanacearum under lab conditions with Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Among all the treatments, maximum inhibition zone was expressed by Oxyrich (20.687mm). Under field conditions using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), Oxyrich and kocide were evaluated alone and in combination at three different concentrations (2, 2.5 and 3%) along with control. Among these treatments, maximum reduction in disease incidence was expressed by combination of Oxyrich + Kocide (18.38%). Difference among treatments was observed using least significant difference (LSD) at probability level of 0.05%. It is concluded that identification of different chemicals will be helpful in future studies for the management of bacterial wilt disease of tomato.
Molecular Ecology of Freshwater Turtles and Future directions
Authors: Mushtaq Iqra Mushtaq 
Published: December 2022

The distribution and diversity of turtles now reflect the lengthy and complex evolution of the taxonomy, which represents an old group of tetrapod vertebrates in terms of evolutionary history. Freshwater turtles represent the majority of the 365 species, and they mostly live in tropical and subtropical regions. Emydidae diversity hotspots can be found in Southeast North America, as can Geoemydidae and Trionychidae in the Indo-Malayan area. While Pelomedusidae are mostly found in Africa, Chelidae are primarily found in the Neotropics and Australia. Most species of the genus are endemic to a particular region or even to a single location. The majority of freshwater turtles suffer varied degrees of threat, mostly from habitat changes and collection. With the use of morphological and molecular data, the majority of phylogenetic trees for different turtle species have been generated using DNA techniques and procedures. The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), cytochrome b (Cyt b), carapacial ridge (CR), and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (CO I) genes of freshwater turtles were sequenced by using universal PCR and long-PCR methods. Along with CR sequences of freshwater turtles, the composition and structure of the control region of diverse species were compared and analysed. Functional domains in the regulatory area, as well as their conserved sequences, were determined based on sequence similarities to other turtles. The mitochondrial regulatory regions and flanking sequences of diverse freshwater turtle species were recovered using Long-PCR and gene-specific primers. To clarify the genetic links between the fresh water turtle species that share the same habitat type, a tree was created based on Cytochrome b sequencing data and the PCR- Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern.

Background: Nowadays, one of the main ways to manage HIV infection is the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Despite the benefit associated with the use of antiretrovirals, these could have side effects on certain vital body functions such as the liver and kidneys.
Aim of the Study: The main objective of this study was to assess the liver and kidney functions of people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy at the Bafoussam Regional Hospital (BRH).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted for three months on 100 HIV-positive patients undergoing HAART at the Regional Hospital of Bafoussam. Sociodemographic, clinical and biological data were recorded for each subject and then analyzed using standard procedures. Liver function was explored by the following biochemical parameters: alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, total and direct bilirubin. The renal function was explored by measuring the creatinine and the serum uric acid levels. Results: Among the 100 patients who participated in the study, 83 were women (83 %) and 17 patients were men (17 %). The most represented age group was between 41 and 50 years old (37 %). The mean age was 47.66 ± 10.2 years. For the liver function assessment, 6 % had elevated alanine aminotransferase activity (greater than 42 IU/L), 8 % had an increase in the aspartate aminotransferase activity (greater than 38 IU/L) and 17% of patients had hypoalbuminemia (below 35 g/L). In addition, 14% of the patients had a high total bilirubin level (greater than 1 mg/dL) and 62% of the patients had a high direct bilirubin level (greater than 0.3 mg/dL). Patients presenting simultaneously an abnormal level of direct and total bilirubin were following the Zidovudine-Lamivudine-Atazan avir-Ritonavir (ZLAR) second line regimen. For the evaluation of renal function, 18% had a high creatinine level (greater than 14 mg/L) and 24% of patients had an abnormal level of uric acid (greater than 60 mg/L), this variation was not associated with antiretroviral treatment (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: No significant association was found between the regimen and the variations of certain biochemical parameters. However, compared to ZLAR, Tenofovir-Lamivudine-Dolutegravir (TLD) was the regimen that recorded the largest number of patients with abnormal variations of biochemical parameters involved in this study.
Analisis tentang Keselamatan Menurut Roma 10:4-15 dan Aplikasinya bagi Orang Percaya
Authors: Mendrofa Adinia 
Published: December 2022

This analysis is done to explore the real purpose in Romans 10: 4-15 to be understood properly and correctly so that it can be a guide for believers. This analysis is carried out to answer the problems that occurred in Rome regarding their understanding of how to obtain salvation and the results of this exegesis can be applied in the lives of believers today. Salvation is the main goal of human life, so the true concept of salvation must be exposed. All humans have sinned and have lost the glory of God so that the main thing that must be resolved is sin. The Lord Jesus is the only person who can solve this sin through His death and resurrection to replace human sin. In Romans 10: 4-15 it is explained that salvation is obtained only by confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. Salvation in this case has stages, namely the existence of a mission by God, some are sent to preach the gospel (salvation), so that some hear the gospel, then believe, and finally cry out to the Lord Jesus. Through the results of the analysis carried out, a concept was discovered that salvation is obtained only through faith in the Lord Jesus, because it is He who has replaced human sin. This analysis also emphasizes all those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus, to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, because salvation is only through the Lord Jesus Christ. Analisa ini dilakukan untuk menggali maksud yang sebenarnya di dalam kitab Roma 10:4-15 untuk bisa di mengerti dengan baik dan benar sehingga bisa menjadi suatu pedoman bagi orang percaya. Analisa ini dilakukan untuk menjawab masalah yang terjadi di Roma mengenai pemahaman mereka tentang cara memperoleh keselamatan dan hasil dari eksegesa ini dapat diplikasikan dalam kehidupan orang percaya saat ini. Keselamatan adalah tujuan utama kehidupan manusia, sehingga konsep keselamatan yang benar harus disingkapkan. Semua manusia telah berdosa dan telah kehilangan kemuliaan Allah sehingga hal utama yang harus diselesaikan adalah dosa. Tuhan Yesus adalah satu-satunya pribadi yang dapat menyelesaikan dosa tersebut melalui kematian dan kebangkitan-Nya untuk menggantikan keberdosaan manusia. Dalam Roma 10:4-15 dijelaskan bahwa keselamatan diperoleh hanya dengan mengaku dengan mulut bahwa Yesus adalah Tuhan dan percaya dalam hati bahwa Allah telah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati. Keselamatan dalam hal ini mempunyai tahapan yaitu adanya pengutusan oleh Allah, ada yang diutus untuk memberitakan Injil (keselamatan), sehingga ada yang mendengar Injil, kemudian percaya, dan akhirnya berseru kepada Tuhan Yesus. Melalui hasil analisa yang dilakukan ditemukan suatu konsep bahwa keselamatan yang diperoleh hanya melalui iman kepada Tuhan Yesus, sebab Dialah yang telah menggantikan keberdosaan manusia. Analisa ini juga menekankan kepada semua orang yang belum percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus, agar menerima Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruselamat pribadinya, sebab keselamatan hanya melalui Tuhan Yesus Kristus.
Refleksi Alkitab tentang Hukuman Kebiri bagi Pelaku Kejahatan Seksual
Authors: Chijaya Arieas , Simon Simon 
Published: December 2022

The implementation of castration punishment triggered by the government through go-vernment regulations in lieu of law (PERPU) number 1 in 2016 for perpetrators of sexual crimes does indeed cause polemic in the public. Castration is a medical action in the form of removal or cutting of the male testes so that the hormone testosterone produced in the testes is reduced. The method used in this article is a qualitative method with an exegetical approach and literaturestudy. The results of this study found an answer that castration against perpetrators of sexual crimes by cutting off the testes of sexual function organs is not appropriate according to the Scriptures. God forbids castration because it destroys the physical perfection that was perfectly created by Him. Prohibition from God to castrate humans when examined historically, this is conducted by people who do not know God properly. They did this to show their devotion to worshiping other Gods. Even if God accepts the repentance of a castrated person, it does not mean that God approves of these castration practices. Penerapan hukuman kebiri yang dicetuskan oleh pemerintah melalui PERPU nomor 1 tahun 2016 bagi pelaku kejahatan seksual memang menimbulkan polemik di masyarakat umum. Hukuman kebiri atau yang disebut juga kastari adalah tindakan medik berupa pengangkatan atau pemotongan pada testis pria agar hormone testosteron yang diproduksi di testis berkurang. Metode yang peneliti gunakan dalam penulisan artikel ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan eksegesis dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan suatu jawaban, bahwa tindakan mengkebiri pelaku kejahatan seksual dengan cara memotong testis organ fungsi seksualnya tidaklah tepat menurut Alkitab. Allah melarang praktek pengkebirian karena merusak kesempurnaan fisik yang diciptakan-Nya secara sempurna. Larangan Tuhan untuk mengkebiri sesama manusia jika ditelisik historinya,ini dilakukan oleh orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah yang benar. Mereka melakukan ini untuk menunjukkan wujud baktinya menyembah ilah-ilah lain. Sekalipun Allah me-nerima pertobatan orang yang dikebiri, bukan berarti menunjukkan kesetujuan Allah pada praktik kebiri ini.
