Women in the Bible: What can they teach us about gender equality?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

What can we learn about gender equality from the women in Scripture today? Can women in Scripture serve as role models for the women striving for leadership positions and could there be a potential correlation with current-day policies and practices supporting gender balance, and Christian ethical standards? This article, based on the Reformed paradigm, addresses women portrayed in formal and informal roles spanning from leaders, teachers, prophets and other prominent characters – each playing their roles in Scripture. It is argued that despite women often being placed in marginal positions in Scripture, they nevertheless permeate the Bible in narratives on resourcefulness, auto-leadership, and in their place in securing and upholding the Covenant with God. It will be demonstrated how women are presented as necessary partakers in the most significant of biblical narratives, and that their leadership exertion typically has a necessary role in the overarching scriptural scenarios. It will appear that by taking a closer approach to Scripture, we can take inspiration from female biblical leadership figures in most, if not all realms of today’s life. Contribution: It will be clear that Scripture lends sufficient support to promote full and complete gender equality, whether this be expressed in corporate life, government, or family. The examples gleaned from Scripture will demonstrate how gender equality not only is something that Scripture allows, but also expects.
A MULTIMODAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED ADVERTISEMENT OF MALARIA DRUGS

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study identified and analyzed the visual and linguistic components associated with the selected advertisement of malaria drugs. This was with a view to describing the essential communication devices the advertisers of such drugs have employed. Data for the study were drawn from both primary and secondary sources. The primary source for the study comprised 4 purposively selected posters, stickers and drugs literature advertisement on malaria. Analysis of the data followed the framework of Kress and Leeuwen’s Multimodal Discourse Analysis. The results showed that such visual resources as colour, pictures, symbols and icons, gaze and posture enhance the semantic quality of the advertisement. In the whole, the study emphasizes the vitality of visual and linguistic elements as important communication devices in advertising.
Personality, Motivation, and College Readiness: A Prospectus for Assessment and Development

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article concerns how noncognitive constructs—personality and motivation—can be assessed and developed to increase students' readiness for college. We propose a general framework to account for personality and motivational differences between students. We review numerous studies showing that personality and motivational factors are related to educational outcomes, from early childhood to adulthood. We discuss various methods for assessing noncognitive factors, ranging from self‐assessments to performance tests. We consider data showing that personality and motivation change over time and find that particular interventions have proven successful in changing particular personality facets, leading to increased achievement. In a final section we propose a strategy for implementing a comprehensive psychosocial skills assessment in middle and high school, which would include setting proficiency standards and providing remedial instruction.
The Power of Omission. "Seeing the Centre: The Art of Albert Namitjira 1902-1959" by Alison French and "The Town Grew Up Dancing: The Life and Art of Wenten Rubunjta" by Wenten Rubuntja (with Jenny Green). [review]

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

French's book is full of conjunctions and anecdotes: about Namitjira's teacher and friend Rex Battarbee, about Hermannsburg, about alcohol, arrest and humiliation, about Albert's singing voice, which was admired by the leader of the Vienna Boys' Choir, stranded in Australia during the war. Perhaps the most important link created by Namatjira is that between his own pioneering status and the next generation of Aboriginal artists. "The Town Grew up Dancing" is primarily an oral history, based on twenty-five years of taped interviews and conversations, mostly between Wenten and the book's co-author, Jenny Green. The narration is multilingual: in Rubuntja’s first language, Arrernte, as well as Aboriginal English and English. A rich textual synthesis results from maps, photographs and colour reproductions of his paintings, and, perhaps most poetically, from Rubuntja's love affair with language and his awareness of the continuation of the past within the present - the effects of massacres, land grabs, religion, war or knowing there was once an important soakage and a group of mallee trees where there’s now a supermarket. In Wenten Rubuntja's own words, 'This book is really good - people have got to read it and say, "This is a really good story".'
[Study of the conformation of neurospecific cardioactive glycoproteins by optical spectroscopy].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Using selective fluorescence quenching and circular dichroism techniques, the conformation of protein carriers of earlier detected cardiotropic hypothalamic neurohormones was investigated. The experimental results point to essential differences in the structural organization of the above compounds that were designated according to the type of their binding to corresponding hormones as BNH, BNC and BNS. For instance, the circular dichroism spectrum of BNS is typical of proteins that are characterized by a high content of non-ordered structures, a low content of beta-structures and an almost complete absence of alpha-helices. BNC and BNH with nearly the same content of alpha-helical structures are distinguished by the number of "non-ordered glomes" which are more abundant in BNC. These results are in good agreement with the fluorescence quenching data.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui status kemiskinan rumah tangga beserta faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhinya di Provinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2015. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif berupa regresi logistik (logit regression). Data yang digunakan berasal dari Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) tahun 2015 dengan kode Provinsi Jawa Timur. Sementara itu, perangkat lunak yang digunakan dalam analisis adalah Microsoft Office Excel 2013 dan Stata 13. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa rumah tangga yang berstatus miskin adalah sejumlah 3.278 rumah tangga atau sekitar 11,24% dari total sampel. Sekitar hampir 65 % rumah tangga miskin di Provinsi Jawa Timur tersebut tinggal di wilayah perdesaan. Sementara wilayah dengan tingkat kemiskinan tertinggi pada tahun 2015 adalah Kabupaten Pamekasan dengan persentase sebesar 29,62 % dan Kota Surabaya menjadi wilayah dengan tingkat kemiskinan terendah yaitu hanya 0,66%. Hasil regresi logistic menunjukkan bahwa pendidikan kepala rumah tangga, jenis kelamin kepala rumah tangga perempuan, dan akses terhadap Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR) dapat mengurangi probabilitas rumah tangga untuk jatuh kedalam kemiskinan. Sementara variabel jumlah anggota rumah tangga yang semakin banyak, kepala rumah tangga yang bekerja di sektor pertanian, dan keluarga yang memiliki akses terhadap asuransi kesehatan miskin dapat meningkatkan kemungkinan rumah tangga untuk jatuh miskin.
Comparing word embedding models for Arabic aspect category detection using a deep learning-based approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Aspect category detection (ACD) is a task of aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) that aims to identify the discussed category in a given review or sentence from a predefined list of categories. ABSA tasks were widely studied in English; however, studies in other low-resource languages such as Arabic are still limited. Moreover, most of the existing Arabic ABSA work is based on rule-based or feature-based machine learning models, which require a tedious task of feature-engineering and the use of external resources like lexicons. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to overcome these shortcomings by handling the ACD task using a deep learning method based on a bidirectional gated recurrent unit model. Additionally, we examine the impact of using different vector representation models on the performance of the proposed model. The experimental results show that our model outperforms the baseline and related work models significantly by achieving an enhanced F1-score of more than 7%.
Optimal assembly of educational and psychological tests, with a bibliography

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The advent of computers in educational and psychological measurement has lead to the need for algorithms for optimal assembly of tests from item banks. This paper reviews the literature on optimal test assembly and introduces the contributions to this report on the topic. Four different approaches to computerized test assembly are discussed: heuristic-based test assembly; 0-1 linear programming; network-flow programming; and an optimal design approach. In addition, applications of these methods to a large variety of problems are examined, including:(1) item response theory-based test assembly;(2) classical test assembly;.(3) assembling multiple test forms;(4) item matching;(5) observed-score equating;(6) constrained adaptive testing;(7) assembling tests with item sets;(8) item pool design; and (9) assembling tests with multiple traits. This paper concludes with a 90-item bibliography on test assembly.
Stochastic Model of SIR Epidemic Modelling

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Threshold theorem is probably the most important development of mathematical epidemic modelling. Unfortunately, some models may not behave according to the threshold. In this paper, we will focus on the final outcome of SIR model with demography. The behaviour of the model approached by deteministic and stochastic models will be introduced, mainly using simulations. Furthermore, we will also investigate the dynamic of susceptibles in population in absence of infective. We have successfully showed that both deterministic and stochastic models performed similar results when $R_0 \leq 1$. That is, the disease-free stage in the epidemic. But when $R_0 > 1$, the deterministic and stochastic approaches had different interpretations.
Validation of a telephone cognitive assessment test battery for use in chronic fatigue syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We compared a computerized version of the Cognitive Drug Research (CDR) cognitive assessment test battery and a completely automated telephone version of the same battery. These assessed aspects of attention, working memory and long-term memory. Both methods were used to assess the cognitive performance of a cohort of 30 people with confirmed chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and a group of 30 healthy controls matched for age and education. The CFS group had significantly slower reaction times on all four cognitive measures on both the computerized and telephone tests. The mood data followed similar patterns in the computer and telephone assessments. The results from both forms of the test battery confirmed the pattern and severity of cognitive impairment in CFS. Furthermore, the two methods of testing were similarly sensitive in detecting cognitive deficits. The incapacitating nature of CFS may cause problems for researchers if the restrictions to mobility affect the representativeness of the study group. The findings of the present study support the use of a fully automated telephone cognitive testing system for detecting deficits in CFS.
Siderophore: Structural And Functional Characterisation – A Comprehensive Review

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Plants and microbes have enormous importance in our daily life. Iron is said to be the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust from soil, still many plants face problem in uptaking iron because it is found in insoluble form, which severely restricts the bioavailability of this metal. In response to this, microorganisms present in soil such as Pseudomonas sp., Enterobacter genera , Bacillus and Rhodococcus produce special iron carriers or iron-binding compounds called as ‘siderphores’ or ‘siderochromes’. This paper is an attempt to review the importance of siderphores in enhancing plants’ iron utilisation strategies, the mode of transport of siderophores along with iron across the memberane and depending on the difference in their chemical structure, functional moiety and their source of isolation of four different types of siderophore (hydroxamates, catecholates, carboxylates and siderophore with mixed ligand). Siderophore and their derivative have large application in agriculture as to increase soil fertility and as biocontrol for fungal pathogen. This review unlike other reviews includes (1) types of siderophore, (2) the structural difference amongst them, (3) siderophore biosynthesis, (4) transport mechanism, (5) the genetics of siderophore and (6) their efficacy in human life.
Measuring Urban Metrics of Creativity Using a Grid-Based Geographically Weighted Regression Model

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Recent urban studies have recognized cities as epicenters of a rapid rise in the creative industries and the creative class. Nevertheless, the relationship between urban spaces and creative industries has yet to be fully understood. This is especially true in places in the emerging world such as China, where the social context is different from that in developed countries. This paper attempts to measure urban metrics of creativity in the city of Nanjing, China, by establishing grid-based spatial regression models. A variety of location factors regarded as crucial for the development of creative industries by previous studies are investigated, including heritage sites, landscape amenities, universities, nightlife, and catering places, as well as public transport. The results suggest that these urban metrics of creativity bear a significant explanatory power for the location choice of creative enterprises in Nanjing, according to both ordinary least-squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR). In fact, results for GWR are significantly stronger than for OLS. Meanwhile, great spatial variations are observed across these variables in the grid-based GWR model. That is, a high significance is found in downtown and highly urbanized areas for the factors of heritage sites, nightlife areas, and universities, whereas the other factors (e.g., landscape amenities) are relevant only in specific locations in the suburban areas of Nanjing. This study thus proves that spatial regression models are more applicable for measuring urban metrics of creativity than conventional economic models are. This paper also bears some implications for urban policy of creative city strategy.
“Communitas in Crisis”: An Autoethnography of Psychosis Under Lockdown

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In this article, I use autoethnography to examine time spent on an acute psychiatric ward during the COVID-19 lockdown. I employ the device of “communitas in crisis” to emphasize the precarious nature of this experience and the extent to which, for myself at least, informal social interactions with fellow patients and “communitas” were significant features of my hospital experience and subsequent discharge. I suggest that a lack of emphasis on inpatient to inpatient relationships in the recovery literature is an omission and a reflection of psychiatry’s authority struggles with both service users and professionals, along with a general perception of psychosis as individual rather than as a socially constructed phenomenon. I also suggest that, especially in the wake of greater social distancing, mental health and social services should safeguard against psychological and social isolation by creating more spaces for struggling people to interact without fear or prejudice.
O2C.1 Worker compensation: are epidemiological studies fit for purpose?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction Every year, large numbers of workers have an injury at work or develop a work-related disease. A range of worker compensation systems exist across countries for which epidemiological studies potentially provide critical evidence. This paper discusses the adequacy of current epidemiological research for this purpose. Methods Compensation schemes need to identify the occupational circumstances, or dose, that increase (e.g. double) the risks of the disease, and to define these so they can be administered effectively by decision-makers who lack epidemiological experience. Large studies or meta-analyses with effective control for confounders, adequate exposure assessment, and clear case definition are (ideally) required. Results Although epidemiological studies may show consistent evidence of an increased health risk from an occupational exposure, definitions of exposure are often unsuitable for converting into an appropriate exposure schedule for a compensation scheme. Direct measurements of occupational exposure are usually scarce and not available for individual workers; both claimants, perhaps, assessors would find these measurements difficult to access and use. Exposures defined by industry or job title, particularly with a qualifying time-period, although perceived by epidemiologists as rather simplistic, are more straightforward to use, e.g. ‘osteoarthritis in miners who have worked 10 or more years underground’. If quantitative exposure measurements are unavailable, epidemiologists often define qualitative metrics such as ‘high’, ‘medium’, or ‘low’ or develop more complex semi-qualitative exposure metrics such as ‘exposed or not’ at a given level of certainty or probability; intensity of exposure based on expert judgement of proximity to the substance and effectiveness of control procedures. Application of these in a compensation scheme may be problematical. Discussion Epidemiology plays a vital role in ensuring workers are compensated for work-related ill-health. Epidemiological study design, exposure metrics and primary and subsidiary analyses should be tailored to directly support compensation schemes.
ThP8.3 - From red coded report to Fistula salvage in 2 weeks

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Aim Fistulas and grafts are life line for patients with End stage renal disease (ESRD). However, they frequently fail, and early intervention is recommended to prevent loss of access. The present study aimed to establish waiting times between identification of significant stenosis/thrombus on duplex scan to intervention. Methods In this study we looked at all red coded reports in 2022 to establish their waiting time from red report to a radiological or surgical intervention. We have a traffic light system where patients with fistulas with no stenosis and good volume flow (VF) over &gt;600ml/min are labelled green, labelled amber when there is a &lt;50% stenosis or minor thrombus with VF still around/above 600 ml/min. Red where there is significant stenosis/thrombus. Results 291 patients were identified, 178 patients with significant &gt;50% stenosis/thrombus in fistula, 82 patients with occluded fistulas, 15 patients with significant inflow +/-outflow stenosis/occlusion, 16 patients with e.g. very high VF fistulas/pseudoaneurysms/small vein size +/- &lt;600ml/min VF (maturing fistulas). As a result of red report, 9% of patients received a new fistula and 57% of patients received an intervention to salvage their existing fistula. Interventions included 112 fistuloplasty/venoplasty, 43 surgical thromb ectomy procedures. 58% of patients received an intervention within the first 2 weeks with 3.6% of patients receiving intervention on the same day as red coded report. 34% of patents however did not receive any intervention. Conclusion There is room for further improvement to salvage more fistulas, though 60% of patients did have an intervention within 2 weeks.
Traumatic Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair with Dermal Autograft within a Morel-Lavallée Lesion

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary: Morel-Lavallée lesions and traumatic abdominal wall hernias seldom present together and have no standardized guidelines for treatment. We present a unique case of a traumatic abdominal wall hernia present within a patient’s abdominal Morel-Lavallée lesion, which was reduced and repaired with a dermal autograft. This is a novel approach to repairing a rare and unusual injury. The literature suggests that tension-free repairs with mesh should be used on delayed repairs of traumatic abdominal wall hernias. However, some advocate for primary repairs due to an up to 50% increased risk of wound infection in these injuries, even without the use of mesh. Although infection rates with the use of biologic mesh (acellular dermal matrices) in a contaminated field are lower than that of synthetic mesh, infections still occur and tend to be higher in repairs without mesh. The lack of foreign material and innate immunogenicity of the patient’s own dermis may theoretically decrease the risk of infection compared with other commercially-available and biologically-derived products. The patient is a 47-year-old woman who was in a motor vehicle accident with prolonged extrication time. She was hospitalized for approximately 6 months due to extensive injuries, but had no further complications from her Morel-Lavallée lesion or repair of her traumatic abdominal wall hernia with her own dermis.
