The Effect of Principal’s Leadership and Infrastructure Support on Teacher’s Performance
Authors: Ulfah Rezka , Harapan Edi , Mulyadi Mulyadi 
Published: September 2023

Leadership is a birth from a protracted process of change in a person rather than a position or title. Teacher performance is always the center of attention because it is one of the factors in improving student achievement, so that teacher performance is always considered and various efforts are made to improve teacher performance. The infrastructure resources that Gunung Raja District schools have to support the educational process are insufficient to assist teachers in their instruction and prevent the development of students’ knowledge and abilities. The researcher is motivated to study "The Influence of Principal Leadership and Infrastructure Support on the Performance of Public Elementary School Teachers in Tanjung Raja District" in light of these circumstances. The survey research approach was employed in this study. 262 instructors, including the principals of 26 public primary schools in the Tanjung Raja District, made up the study’s population. Out of a total population of 262 respondents in 26 public elementary schools in Tanjung Raja District, the researchers selected 144 participants In this research, the technique and data collection that researchers use is through questionnaires, observation, and documentation. The conclusions: The effectiveness of the teachers is significantly influenced by the head of the school’s leadership. The performance of the teachers improves in direct proportion to the amount of leadership exercised by school administrators. The infrastructure has a considerable impact on the caliber of instructor performance. The quality of the school’s infrastructure and its infrastructure infrastructure will affect the teacher’s performance. Infrastructure has significantly and significantly impacted the principle of the school’s leadership.
Animalcules
Authors: Smailbegović Ada 
Published: September 2023

This entry explores the hidden worlds of animalcules or micro-animals, such as tardigrades and
mites. Such complex worlds are often inaccessible to the human sensorium due to their scale,
except through the use of instruments like microscopes. With this in mind, the entry on
micro-animals draws on the history of early microscopy by examining the writings and drawings
of figures such as the seventeenth-century Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was
the first to observe animalcules, and the seventeenth-century English scientist Robert Hooke, who made extensive microscopic studies of matter in his book Micrographia (1665). This raises questions about the role of descriptive language in amplifying the miniature forms of micro-animals and making them discernable to humans, particularly through the use of metaphor, which often creates comparisons between these tiny creatures and more familiar macroscopic organisms and even inanimate entities that are perceptible at the human scale. In this way, metaphor acts as a kind of figurative microscope, bringing animalcules into view of human observers. At the same time, this entry attempts to look beyond the anthropocentric scales perceptible to humans and to consider the realm of “tiny perceptions,” which render the worlds of animalcules perceptible to these creatures.
The Way Things Go
Authors: Bury Louis 
Published: September 2023

The Way Things Go contains a mix of poetry, art writing, and life writing about anticipatory grief, or mourning someone or something before it’s gone. Each successive chapter in the book decreases in length by exactly one sentence, from a 71-sentence-long opening chapter, to a 70-sentence-long second chapter, to 69 sentences, 68 sentences, and so on down to 1 (a book-length Oulipian “melting snowball”). This shrinking form enacts the book’s concerns with loss, climate change, and the passage of time.
At the level of its content, however, The Way Things Go is not fatalistic. Its title comes from a cult classic 1987 Fischli and Weiss film, in which objects such as bags of trash, car tires, and oil drums knock into one another in a Rube Goldberg-esque chain reaction. Moving through both personal history (his sister’s lupus and heroin addiction, his grandmother’s experience as a Holocaust survivor) and more global concerns (the Sixth Mass Extinction, COVID-19, the war in Ukraine), Bury considers the disruptions that occur as “things go,” as well as the continuity that remains. The book suggests that recent negotiations between optimism and pessimism with respect to the future reflect people’s feelings of vulnerability, particularly people who are used to taking their life’s stability for granted, in a world that seems increasingly precarious.

Authors: Agaba  Moses  , Bosco Turtasingura John 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the study was to determine how strategic formulation affected Lyamujungu SACCO's organizational performance. A correctional sectional research design was used for the investigation. The study was able to analyze the link between the study variables since it used both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Simple random selection and purposive sampling methods were used to choose a sample of 105 respondents. Using thematic analysis and SPSS Version 21.0, the respondents' quantitative and qualitative data were examined. Based on the study's objectives, quantitative findings in the form of descriptive statistics, correlations, and regressions were provided in tables. The study discovered that the development of a plan had a substantial positive association with SACCO organizational performance (r =.785, P .01). With these results, the study makes a contribution by channeling the currently fervent conversation surrounding concerns of strategic formulation and organizational performance in Lyamujungu SACCO by offering empirical evidence that has been mostly absent. The study advises management to collaborate with Board members and all other stakeholders to implement the resolutions of both the Board meeting and the Annual General Meeting in order for Lyamujungu SACCO to develop effective strategies.
Gereja Mula-Mula Menyikapi Perbedaan dan Konflik Berdasarkan Kisah Para Rasul 15:1-34: Sebuah Refleksi bagi Gereja Toraja Mamasa
Authors: Toding Yulianus 
Published: September 2023

The background of this article is the conflict and differences in the Toraja Mamasa Church after the Bikker-Geleijnse. Acts 15:1-34 tells about how the early church resolved conflicts due to differences. This similarity of experience prompted the authors to examine the text of Acts 15:1-34 as reflective material in dealing with differences in the Toraja Mamasa Church after Bikker-Geleijnse. The research method used is narrative criticism. The research question that the author poses is how did the early church respond to conflict and differences as a reflective material for the Toraja Mamasa Church? The author carries out this research by describing the traces of Bikker and Geleijnse's mission in Mamasa, the background of the conflict in the early church, interpreting the text of Acts 15:1-34, and constructing a reflection to resolve conflicts and differences in the Toraja Mamasa Church.The research method used is narrative criticism. The author finds that the early church faced conflicts and differences with a middle-ground perspective. The church gives freedom to the context of carrying out its own ethnic laws and rules while at the same time emphasizing Christian ethics as a standard of God's holiness. This action then spurred the Toraja Mamasa Church to have a contextual perspective while at the same time respecting the holiness of God. AbstrakLatar belakang artikel ini adalah konflik dan perbedaan di Gereja Toraja Mamasa pasca Bikker-Geleijnse. Kisah Para Rasul 15:1-34 menceritakan tentang bagaimana gereja mula-mula menyelesaikan konflik akibat perbedaan. Kesamaan pengalaman ini mendorong penulis untuk mengkaji teks Kisah Para Rasul 15:1-34 sebagai bahan reflektif menghadapi perbedaan di Gereja Toraja Mamasa pasca Bikker-Geleijnse. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kritik naratif. Pertanyaan penelitian yang penulis ajukan adalah bagaimana gereja mula-mula menyikapi konflik dan perbedaan, sebagai bahan reflektif bagi Gereja Toraja Mamasa? Penulis melaksanakan penelitian ini dengan mendeskripsikan jejak misi Bikker dan Geleijnse di Mamasa, latar belakang konflik dalam gereja mula-mula, menginterpretasi teks Kisah Para Rasul 15:1-34, dan mengonstruksikan sebuah refleksi untuk menyelesaikan konflik dan perbedaan di Gereja Toraja Mamasa. Penulis menemukan bahwa gereja mula-mula menghadapi konflik dan perbedaan dengan perspektif jalan tengah. Gereja memberi kebebasan kepada konteks menyelenggarakan hukum dan aturan etnisnya masing-masing, sekaligus menekankan etika Kristen sebagai standar kekudusan Allah. Tindakan ini kemudian memacu Gereja Toraja Mamasa untuk berwawasan kontekstual, sekaligus menghormati kekudusan Allah.

Obese patients, especially patients with severe obesity and requiring bariatric surgery, have a high prevalence of nutrient deficiencies. This study aims to determine some of the basic characteristics of patients undergoing bariatric surgery so that they can be used as supporting data for post-bariatric surgery nutrition medical therapy, particularly in the provision of food sources and micronutrient supplementation which can be deficient due to anatomic and physiological alterations after the surgery. The study was conducted on 55 preoperative bariatric patients by assessing age, gender, and degree of obesity based on body mass index (BMI), serum vitamin D and B12 levels, erythrocyte folic acid, and serum ferritin of subjects. The study is descriptive with a cross-sectional design. Subjects were taken by consecutive sampling. The results showed that the mean age of preoperative bariatric patients was 36 ± 7.1 years; most (85.5%) were women. Most subjects (34.5%) had BMI of 35­–39.9 kg/m2. Vitamin D deficiency was present in most (75.6%) of the study subjects, but most had serum vitamin B12 levels, erythrocyte folic acid levels, and serum ferritin levels within normal limits. This study shows that the basic profile of patients undergoing bariatric surgery is primarily late adults, classified as severe obese and having vitamin D deficiency.
Keywords: Obesity, Prebariatric, Serum Vitamin D, Serum Vitamin B12, Erythrocyte Folic Acid, and Serum Ferritin.

Published: September 2023

Tuberculosis is a serious infection that can appear in many forms and presentations. Here, we highlight a case of a 13 year old patient with a three-month history of nonspecific abdominal pain whose symptoms persisted after treating Typhoid and H. pylori infections. She had subsequent computedtomography imaging notable for nodular thickening of the omentum and ascites concerning for possible carcinomatosis. Diagnostic laparoscopy with peritoneal biopsy revealed abdominal tuberculosis, and she had resolution of symptoms following appropriate medical therapy. We discuss the risk factors, clinical features, and work-up in the diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis.

This work aims to investigate whether there are reports in the literature about the role of the recruiter's characteristics on participation in research projects focused on gestational women.
A bibliographic search was performed in SCIELO, Redalyc, Latindex, MEDLINE (through PubMed), SCOPUS and Web of Knowledge of articles published in English or Spanish with the search terms: Participation in research, informed consent, motivation and influence, reasons to participate in clinical research, recruitment characteristics.
We conclude that sociodemographic characteristics and perception of risk are important in the decisionmaking process of pregnant women to decide a positive answer when being asked to participate in a clinical trial.
Translating and Analyzing Hedging in Tikriti Dialect from Arabic into English
Authors: Abdullah Ghaneya Jasim , Hussein Shafaa Hady 
Published: September 2023

Hedging is a linguistic phenomenon used in spoken engagement to communicate interpersonal messages. It is a communicative strategy that allows speakers to soften or regulate the assertiveness of their words. It stems from various characteristics such as uncertainty, doubt, tentativeness. ambiguity, neutrality, mitigation, and subjectivity. Hedging is routinely used in most talks to make statements acceptable to listeners.
The current study aims at comparing and analyzing the frequency, types, and purposes of hedges in Tikrit dialect. The study tries to solve the main problem is that there is no research that links the use of hedges with the dialect as a social characteristic. This study is an attempt to fill that gap.
The accurate study tries to hypothesize that hedging devices in Tikrit dialect are difficult to be translated into English. And the translators keep the grammatical structure of the hedging devices in the SLTS when translating them into their equivalent TLTs. And hedging devices in Tikrit dialect have the same functions in English.
The data selected for the study consists of twenty-three samples taken randomly from 200 typed Tikrit dialect conversations which contain hedging devices. These conversations are of different contexts. Some of them are family conversations, others are street conversations and some others are café conversations. They all share the common feature of being informal.
The method of translation (whether covert or overt) used by the translators is going to be figured out. At last, a table for each device is given to summarize the analysis and a proposed translation is offered. Then findings are drawn statistically.
The study also draws some key conclusions, the most important of which are that both Arabic and English use hedging devices to show the meaning of hedging devices, and interpreters struggle to render Arabic hedging devices into English. The fundamental cause of these devices' poor representation is their similarity in use. Because they have no experience with this form of translation, the translators do not look for viable counterparts for these devices. As a result, they attempt to avoid utilizing hedging devices whenever possible. and as a result, interpreters are generally weak at applying hedging devices.
A Quasi Experimental Study of Helicobacter Pylori Eradication in Afghanistan: Comparison of Treatment Preferences for Helicobacter Pylori Eradications, Sequential Therapy Versus Hybrid Therapy
Authors: Jan Rauf , Alam Sher , Najeebullah  , Zadran Mohammad Ashraf 
Published: September 2023

Colonization by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) of the gastric epithelial lining epitomizes a pervasive and clinically consequential infectious etiology. Therapeutic strategies aimed at bacterial eradication inherently hinge on a confluence of determinants-regional antimicrobial resistance spectra, localized clinical algorithms, and pharmaceutical attainability. Best practices in the medical milieu underscore sagacious antibiotic stewardship, predicated on a patient-centric antibiotic historiography prior to therapeutic commencement.
The overarching objective of this study-executed in a quasi-experimental comparative framework at Sheikh Zayed University Teaching Hospital, Khost, Afghanistan-was to discerningly evaluate and contrast two paradigms of treatment: Sequential Therapy and Hybrid Therapy. The subject pool encapsulated a demographically diverse set of individuals, aged 16 to 80, manifesting symptoms of peptic ulcer diseases or gastritis. Those ineligible for inclusion included follow-up patients, immunocompromised subjects, and individuals undergoing oncological interventions.
Employing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 25 for data stratification, the Hybrid Therapy arm was subjected to an initial seven-day treatment window with amoxicillin (1g, BID) and omeprazole (20mg, BID), succeeded by a seven-day regimen involving clarithromycin (500mg, BID) and metronidazole (400mg, TID). Conversely, the Sequential Therapy cohort received a bifurcated, five-day course of omeprazole and amoxicillin, followed by an additional five-day regimen of omeprazole, metronidazole, and clarithromycin. Outcome variables, inclusive of treatment efficaciousness, regimen completion, and patient adherence, were rigorously evaluated via Chi-Square statistical testing.
Encompassing 145 patients, the study observed a gender dispersion of 156 males (41.1%) to 224 females (58.9%). Per-protocol analysis unveiled a statistically significant eradication rate-86.8% vs 83.0% (P=0.021)-tilted in favor of Hybrid Therapy. Both Modified Intention-to-Treat and Intention-to-Treat analyses corroborated this proclivity, registering significant eradication rates of 92.1% versus 67% (P=0.031) for Hybrid Therapy.
Conclusively, Hybrid Therapy demonstrated a superior safety and efficacy profile vis-à-vis Sequential Therapy in extirpating H. pylori, intimating its plausible preferability for the clinical management of associated peptic ulcer diseases and gastritis.

Education is a human need that must always develop according to time. The rapid development in the world of education and technology is a benchmark for the quality of increasing the achievement and motivation of higher education students in Indonesia. Therefore, to improve achievement and motivation to learn, the strategy taken is to make changes in terms of learning which is usually too menotonous now no longer, so as a lecturer must be able to create creative teaching strategies so as to improve the achievement and motivation of college students to learn even better, the strategy is to stop changing the way of learning that has been usually too monotonous. Therefore, as a lecturer must be able to develop creative teaching strategies to be able to improve student learning achievement and strengthen motivation, with a more interesting and fun learning strategy so that students are more enthusiastic about learning. The purpose of this study was to determine creative teaching strategies to improve the achievement and motivation of college students in Indonesia. This research method uses quantitative research methods, where the data is obtained from the results of distributing questionnaires online. The results showed that creative teaching strategies were able to improve student achievement and motivation. From this research, it can be concluded that the application of creative teaching strategies which aims to improve student achievement and motivation to learn has proven to be effective. The limitation of this study is that researchers can only conduct research on teaching strategies when there are many more strategies that can increase student creativity and motivation. The researcher hopes that future researchers can conduct research related to teaching strategies to increase student creativity and learning motivation but by using other strategies. This study also recommends that future researchers make this research a reference in conducting research on improving student creativity and motivation through teaching strategies.

Authors: Mayorga Hernández María Isabel 
Published: September 2023

La evolución de los procesos de documentación gráfi ca del patrimonio representa también un avance en el estudio del pasado. A través de nuevas técnicas, tecnologías y equipos, es posible lograr resultados más precisos y completos. Esta evolución se presenta a través de tres casos, realizados en décadas distintas, haciendo un comparativo entre sus objetivos, metodologías, instrumentos y resultados.
Primero, Claustro e Iglesia de San Francisco en Villa de Leyva (1995), sedesarrolló mediante métodos manuales, implementando nivelación de espacios y mediciones laterales por sumatorias y diagonales, triangulando cada zona para su restitución gráfica. Se obtuvo una planimetría bidimensional para realizar análisis arqueológicos, históricos, identifi cación de lesiones y materiales en planos de calificación, diagnóstico y la propuesta de restauración implementada.
Segundo, levantamiento de Lanceros en el Pantano de Vargas (2006), se utilizaron técnicas fotográfi cas, medición topográfica, dibujo con niveles y cuadernas sobre las esculturas, dando como resultado, planos bidimensionales, con vistas básicas del conjunto y de las 15 esculturas. Lo anterior permite la identifi cación de lesiones, diagnóstico e intervención.
Por último, en la restitución del Parque Arqueológico Teyuna (2022), como parte del estudio del agua y el territorio, se realizó fotogrametría con el uso de drones y la digitalización con técnicas y métodos que logran una reconstrucción conmodelos tridimensionales para su análisis.
A partir de estos casos, se identifi cará cómo cada uno significó la forma más adecuada de reconocer el pasado en su tiempo, incorporando planimetría y modelos gráfi cos que reconocen, estudian y representan el análisis científico del patrimonio.
