Authors: Heryanto  , Pramono Rudi , Parhusip Mangatas , Siallagan Thomson 
Published: January 2025

Emotional intelligence is a crucial determinant of the efficacy of church services, since people often face vulnerabilities that result in both internal and external challenges. The cultivation requires religious understanding and implies robust self-management abilities from leaders. In the absence of good self-management, leaders have difficulties in cultivating their emotional intelligence. This research aimed to examine the challenges surrounding the contradictory link between virtual spiritual leadership (SL) and emotional intelligence (EI). as predictor and criterion factors, respectively, with Self-Management (SM) serving as the mediating variable. This study uses WarpPLS software in data processing. This research examines the impact of spiritual leadership on emotional intelligence, with self-management serving as both a moderating and mediating factor. The analysis is conducted in accordance with the methodological guidelines established by Hair (J. F. Hair et al., 2019a), ensuring a rigorous and systematic approach to evaluating the proposed relationships within the model, the sample included 85 participants, consisting of leaders and church council members from the Indonesian Methodist Church, District 3, Region 1. The sample included 17 indicators generated from 4 constructs, each multiplied by 5. The findings indicated that SL significantly influenced both SM and EI. SM demonstrated a direct impact on EI and showed the potential to modulate the link between SL and EI. The analysis revealed that SL contributed just 14% to the variation in SM, and its mediated effect on EI via SM is also 14%. Nonetheless, SM failed to effectively moderate the link between SL and EI.

Authors: Daniel Cathy E. 
Published: January 2025

Self-efficacy, or teachers' beliefs in their ability to effectively handle the tasks, obligations, andchallenges associated with their professional activity plays a crucial role in influencing important academic outcomes (e.g., students' achievement and motivation). This is especially relevant in EFL/ESL language learning as teacher attitudes about their abilities to effectively instruct and motivate students affect their students’ perceptions of themselves as language learners and even their motivation to learn the target language. The COVID pandemic presented significant challenges to preservice EFL teachers worldwide, especially in Kuwait. This study examines preservice EFL teacher self-efficacy in the final semester of teacher education before the pandemic with preservice EFL teacher self-efficacy during the pandemic. Ninety secondary EFL preservice teacher education students (54 in the pre-COVID group and 36 in the during-COVID group) participated in the study. The participants completed a modified version of the STEBI-B, a self-report questionnaire designed to measure preservice teacher self-efficacy and outcome expectancy. The findings indicated higher levels of self-efficacy in the Pre-COVID group of preservice EFL teachers; especially on response items related to instructional methods/teaching content. The results of the study have implications for education programs offering online degree options as well as for traditional campus-based education programs.

Accurate and Robust Stellar Rotation Periods Catalog for 82771 Kepler Stars Using Deep Learning
Authors: Kamai Ilay , Perets Hagai B. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We propose a new framework to predict stellar properties from light curves. We analyze the light-curve data from the Kepler space mission and develop a novel tool for deriving the stellar rotation periods for main-sequence stars. Using this tool, we provide rotation periods for more than 80K stars. Our model, LightPred, is a novel deep-learning model designed to extract stellar rotation periods from light curves. The model utilizes a dual-branch architecture combining long short-term memory and transformer components to capture temporal and global data features. We train LightPred on self-supervised contrastive pretraining and simulated light curves generated using a realistic spot model. Our evaluation demonstrates that LightPred outperforms classical methods like the autocorrelation function in terms of accuracy and average error. We apply LightPred to the Kepler data set, generating the largest catalog to date. Using error analysis based on learned confidence and consistency metric, we were able to filter the predictions and remove stellar types with variability, which is different than spot-induced variability. Our analysis shows strong correlations between error levels and stellar parameters. Additionally, we confirm tidal synchronization in eclipsing binaries with orbital periods shorter than 10 days. Our findings highlight the potential of deep learning in extracting fundamental stellar properties from light curves, opening new avenues for understanding stellar evolution and population demographics.
“Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte Ratio and Its Relation with Myocardial Markers and Varying Severity of Myocardial Ischemia on Lexiscan in High Risk Patients”.
Authors: Mohsin Naveed , Mushiyev Savi , Chaudhari Shobhana 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is mainly caused by atherosclerosis that is considered as an immune-inflammatory condition. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is widely available inflammatory biomarker that has been found a very useful marker in acute coronary syndrome.

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to check the utility of NLR inflammatory biomarker with varying severities of myocardial ischemia and to correlate it with cardiac troponin elevation and abnormal myocardial stress imaging patterns.

Methods:
All patients with anginal chest pain or angina equivalents who underwent regadenoson SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging, commonly known as Lexiscan, with positive stress results, defined as reversible myocardial ischemia were included. The corresponding NLRs, cardiac troponins, and stress imaging parameters were reviewed.

Results:
A total 92 patients were studied. There was no statistically significant difference in the elevation of NLR inflammatory biomarker across varying severities of myocardial ischemic categories but NLR correlated positively with the cardiac troponin T elevation. Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevation was significantly associated with the severity of myocardial ischemia (p<0.05). The inter-tertile NLR comparison revealed an inversely proportional relationship of stress left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with NLR (p<0.01).

Conclusion:
NLR is not influenced by the severity of myocardial ischemia, but correlates positively with cardiac troponin T elevation. The high NLR translates into more depressed left ventricular function on stress testing.
