Pentecostals, Civic Education, and Eco-Integrated Farming : The Case of Four Eco-Farming Institutions in Northern Luzon, Philippines

Joel Tejedo 경희대학교 후마니타스 교양교육연구소 2022 후마니타스 포럼 Vol.8 No.2

Farmers are now the "dying breed" in the Philippine populace due to the negative impact of the ecological crisis that aggravated the life and livelihood of farmers. Philippine farmers are discouraged from continuing farming due to inflations and price hikes of farm inputs caused by the war between Ukraine and Russia. But what do Pentecostals do as a religion to base their attitudes and behaviors toward responsible ecological farming? How do Pentecostal believers respond to issues of environmental degradation and ecological disasters, and species extinctions? How are Pentecostals empowering local farmers to integrate and increase crops, livestock, fisheries, and fruit-bearing trees using civic education to respond to the critical issues of the farming industry? How do they create sustainable on/off-farm and agricultural entrepreneurship job opportunities that generate income for small local farmers? Using the biblical data, this study investigates the theological themes of eco-farming as a basis of Spirit-empowered religion. It provides models of Pentecostal proeco- farming institutions in the Cagayan Valley region to look at their approaches and best practices of eco-farming. This study predicts that fewer farmers engaging in agriculture in the future will aggravate food insecurity, leading to a food crisis. Hence, the task of religious and civic education in refueling integrative farming in the Philippines is worth pursuing and a civic call to the global argicultural industry.

Featured Articles: The United States in the Middle East ; Actually Existing Israel

( Joel Schalit ) 서울대학교 미국학연구소 2012 미국학 Vol.35 No.1

"Israel is neither Europe, nor the Middle East," the commenter wrote. "All of the moral categories you`ve been trained to apply to countries from those regions won`t work. They`re foreign, like you." A self-identified American soldier, but currently enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces, he was making this point in criticizing a journalist for penning a favorable article about an anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv. For those familiar with the Arab-Israeli conflict, such comments should not be surprising. Israel`s unknowability is one of the fundamental criticisms made against foreigners who choose to take the country to task for its policies towards the Palestinians. Nowhere is this criticism made more often, in recent years, than in the US, where public opinion on Israel has shifted drastically, and Israeli government PR efforts have increased. The ``Israel`` referred to by such media strategies I refer to as "Actually Existing Israel", all Cold War-era puns intended. It refers to both the ``actually existing Israel``, as well as it`s intentional mystification. For my paper, I`ll be discussing how this Israel gets produced, and why it is as much an American event, as it is an Israeli one. The discusssion is derived from my most recent book, Israel vs Utopia (Akashic Books, 2009).

Ethnic Accommodation and Electoral Rules in Ethno-Geographically Segregated Societies: PR Outcomes Under FPTP in Myanmar Elections

Joel Selway 동아시아연구원 2015 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.15 No.3

In this article I explore how the current first-past-the-post (FPTP) rules contributed to the failure of ethnic compromise during the democratic period (1948–1962) in Myanmar by encouraging extremist parties, hardening ethnic divisions, and causing political deadlock, ironically the same charges the centripetal school lays against proportional representation(PR). This puzzle of “PR outcomes” under FPTP is explained using geographic information systems techniques that map the country’s 2010 electoral districts onto an ethnic population map. It shows that ethnic party success in the 2010 election closely follows the distribution of ethnic groups in Myanmar and that given the high level of ethno-geographic segregation in Myanmar the representation of ethnic parties would be similar under PR and the alternative vote to the current FPTP. I conclude by discussing Indonesia’s electoral rules as a possible solution for Myanmar. The general theoretic contribution is that, although past scholars have generally argued that FPTP is bad for ethnically divided societies, their mechanisms are incorrect for ethnogeographically segregated societies.

Optimization of urinary dipstick pH: Are multiple dipstick pH readings reliably comparable to commercial 24-hour urinary pH?

Joel E. Abbott,Daniel L. Miller,William Shi,David Wenzler,Fuad F. Elkhoury,Nishant D. Patel,Roger L. Sur 대한비뇨의학회 2017 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.58 No.5

Purpose: Accurate measurement of pH is necessary to guide medical management of nephrolithiasis. Urinary dipsticks offer a convenient method to measure pH, but prior studies have only assessed the accuracy of a single, spot dipstick. Given the known diurnal variation in pH, a single dipstick pH is unlikely to reflect the average daily urinary pH. Our goal was to determine whether multiple dipstick pH readings would be reliably comparable to pH from a 24-hour urine analysis. Materials and Methods: Kidney stone patients undergoing a 24-hour urine collection were enrolled and took images of dipsticks from their first 3 voids concurrently with the 24-hour collection. Images were sent to and read by a study investigator. The individual and mean pH from the dipsticks were compared to the 24-hour urine pH and considered to be accurate if the dipstick readings were within 0.5 of the 24-hour urine pH. The Bland-Altman test of agreement was used to further compare dipstick pH relative to 24-hour urine pH. Results: Fifty-nine percent of patients had mean urinary pH values within 0.5 pH units of their 24-hour urine pH. Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean difference between dipstick pH and 24-hour urine pH of -0.22, with an upper limit of agreement of 1.02 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45–1.59) and a lower limit of agreement of -1.47 (95% CI, -2.04 to -0.90). Conclusions: We concluded that urinary dipstick based pH measurement lacks the precision required to guide medical management of nephrolithiasis and physicians should use 24-hour urine analysis to base their metabolic therapy.

Achalasia -An Update

( Joel E Richter ) 대한소화관운동학회 2010 Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (JNM Vol.16 No.3

Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder of unknown cause, characterized by aperistalsis of the esophageal body and im -paired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Patients present at all ages, primarily with dysphagia for solids/liquids and bland regurgitation. The diagnosis is suggested by barium esophagram and confirmed by esophageal manometry. Achalasia cannot be cured. Instead, our goal is to relieve symptoms, improve esophageal emptying and prevent the development of megaeso-phagus. The most successful therapies are pneumatic dilation and surgical myotomy. The overall success rate of graded pneu-matic dilation is 78%, with women and older patients responding best. Laparoscopic myotomy, usually combined with a parti-al fundoplication, has an overall success rate of 87%. Young patients, especially men, are the best candidates for surgical myotomy. Botulinum toxin injection into the lower esophageal sphincter and smooth muscle relaxants are usually reserved for older patients or those with co-morbid illness. The prognosis for achalasia patients to return to near normal swallowing is good, but the disease is rarely “cured” with a single procedure and intermittent touch-up procedures may be required.

Challenges in the Use of Targeted Therapies in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Joel Rivera-Concepcion,Dipesh Uprety,Alex A. Adjei 대한암학회 2022 Cancer Research and Treatment Vol.54 No.2

Precision oncology has fundamentally changed how we diagnose and treat cancer. In recent years, there has been a significant change in the management of patients with oncogene-addicted advanced-stage non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increasing amounts of identifiable oncogene drivers have led to the development of molecularly targeted drugs. Undoubtedly, the future of thoracic oncology is shifting toward increased molecular testing and the use of targeted therapies. For the most part, these novel drugs have proven to be safe and effective. As with all great innovations, targeted therapies pose unique challenges. Drug toxicities, resistance, access, and costs are some of the expected obstacles that will need to be addressed. This review highlights some of the major challenges in the use of targeted therapies in NSCLC and provides guidance for the future strategies.

Systematic Literature Review on Augmented Reality-Based Maintenance Applications in Manufacturing Centered on Operator Needs

Joel Murithi Runji,Yun-Ju Lee,Chih-Hsing Chu 한국정밀공학회 2023 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol.10 No.2

Smart manufacturing supported by emerging Industry 4.0 technologies is a key driver to realize mass product customizations. Augmented reality (AR) has been commonly applied to facilitate manual operations with ambient intelligence by overlaying virtual information on physical scenes. In most modern factories, maintenance remains an indispensable process that is difficult or yet to be fully automated. Several studies have previously reviewed AR-based maintenance across all industrial sectors, whereas those specific to manufacturing did not necessarily involve maintenance. Hence, this paper presents a systematic literature review on AR-assisted maintenance in manufacturing with a focus on the operator’s needs. A generic process has been proposed to classify the maintenance operations examined in the past studies into four sequential steps and to analyze the classification results based on the geographical location, maintenance type, AR technical elements, and integrated external sensors. The findings thus derived are expected to provide design guidelines for implementing AR applications with practical values to aid manual maintenance in future smart manufacturing environments.

Historicizing “Korean Criminality”

Joel Matthews(조엘 매튜스) 고려대학교 한국사연구소 2017 International Journal of Korean History Vol.22 No.1

이 연구는 일본 식민지배의 맥락에서 조선인들을 잠정적인 범죄자로 몰면서 지배와 감시, 그리고 처벌을 동반하였던 담론을 다루고자 한다. 피식민인들을 잠정적인 범죄혐의자로 보는 이와 같은 담론은 19세기 후반 일본의 제국주의 인식 및 피식민인의 법적 지위에 대한 지식으로부터 기인하였다. 이 연구는 전간기 “불령선인(不逞鮮人)” 호칭 및 조선인들의 경제적 우범지대로써의 1940년대 암시장의 등장을 분석하였으며, 그를 통해 인종적으로 조선인을 규정짓는데 범죄와 파괴의 기준이 적용된 것, 그리고 잠정적 범죄혐의자 인식이 전후 재일조선인에 대한 합법적인 배제와 차별을 정당화하게 된 과정을 보여준다. In the context of Japanese colonialism, this article examines the discourse of colonial criminality that came to epistemologically position the Korean colonial subject as criminal and therefore necessitating domination, surveillance and punishment. The discourse of colonial criminality stemmed from Japan’s late nineteenth century epistemological commitment to imperialism and concomitant knowledge of law and the legality of colonial subjects. Through an analysis that historicizes the “criminal Korean” (futei senjin) epithet in the prewar and the emergence of yami as a signifier of Korean economic criminality throughout the 1940s, this article illustrates how the racialization of Koreans in Japan was both framed in terms of crime and subversion, and how that criminality functioned as a justification for postcolonial legalized exclusion and discrimination.
