Interpersonal relationships among professional church staff are an inescapable reality for all those working in Christian organizations, and improving such a relationship is the function of effective and efficient leadership. It is in the context of these relationships that both the church staff and the entire congregation find fulfillment in gathering for a worship experience. However, interpersonal relationships are both negative and positive with implications on the effectiveness of staff members at work, the congregation as well as the growth of the ministry. Leaders with this tendency must possess the appropriate skills for productive relationships among the staff members, be able to apply the skills appropriate for excellent and rewarding results, having an understanding of the complexity of human nature. An understanding of the concept of interpersonal relationships existing among church staff and improvement on the positive interpersonal relationship expected among church staff as well as its implications to attract the divinity from the transformational perspective is the thesis of this article.

Physical activity has been considered as an effective strategy for both physiological and psychological benefits. Though its effects are well documented among adolescents and adults, but it has not been studied extensively in middle aged people. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to see the effect of physical activity on perceived stress, sleep quality and happiness among middle aged people. Total 455 participants (males=197, females=258) in the age range of 40-60 years were recruited for the present study. To assess the domains of physical activity, perceived stress, sleep quality and subjective happiness, Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin, 1985), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et. al., 1983), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, et al., 1989) and Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) were used respectively. Obtained scores were subjected to two-way analysis of variance. Findings of the study revealed significant effect of physical activity on perceived stress (F= 3.34; p< 0.05) and sleep quality (F = 387.036; p< 0.01). But, physical activity did not produce significant effect on subjective happiness among male and female participants. The study indicates that physical activity plays a vital role in enhancing sleep quality and reducing perceived stress among middle-aged people. The significant implications have been discussed.

Nile tilapia belongs to the family Cyprinidae. All fishes are at risk of pathogenic and other microbes, because fishes are contain by environment which is rich in microorganisms. Fish exist in environment of water which is useful because mucus is produce from the body of fish and protect against the large number of microbes which are present in the water. Usually the body of fish is protected by the layer of mucus and the mucus contain many kinds of biological constituent in the outer layer, these are the mucus cells, the club cells and the epithelial cells. The fish immune system is very important. The fish mucus having several unwilling defiance parameter which are immunoglobulin’s, pathogen peptide and harmonize factors that provide both physical and machinal protection. Important part of the fish mucous defense system is immunological defense that is present in mucus of fish’s skin, helping as a physiological and structural barrier against outside risks. Genetic makeup and evolutionary lineage determine the innate immune system of pathogens that are modified through time, pathogenic association and environmental factors.

UV-B is a growing concern due to the rise in UV-B levels on the surface of the earth as a result of the loss of stratospheric ozone. Increased levels of UV-B radiation can in fact negatively alter plant physiological processes, growth and productivity. However, when researching the effects of UV-B on medicinal plants like Phyllanthus amarus and in the tropical area under field conditions, there are some curious phenomena have been discovered. Enhanced UV-B radiation has greatly improved the growth of P. amarus. The outcome of the photosynthetic pigment showed increased UV-B enhanced synthesis of Chlorophyll or the accumulation of Chlorophyll pigments in the treated plants compared to non UV-B treated plants. The concentration of UV-B absorbing pigments also increased due to enhanced UV-B radiation in P. amarus. The synthesis of secondary metabolites such as flavonoid and phenol content was increased under UV-B treatment as compared to control. The UV-B radiation enhances the grade of the medicinal plant by improving the medicinally active compounds. This enhanced impact of UV-B could be important to observe when studying the phytotherapeutic function of P. amarus in health aspects of human life.

Objectives: To identify factors predictive of obstetric uterine rupture after operative hysteroscopy. When these factors are present, to know if there are means to prevent subsequent uterine rupture. Finally, to specify the criteria for extracting the fetus before rupture. Patients and methods: Description of a case of uterine rupture in a patient with a history of uterine septum rupture treated by operative hysteroscopy and retrospective analysis of the 12 similar observations reported in the literature. Results: Two types of situations are to be differentiated: uncomplicated hysteroscopic ablation of a polyp or submucosal myoma, which does not seem to modify the obstetrical prognosis; metroplasties for uterine malformation, resections of complex synechia, uterine perforations secondary to resection with the use of a monopole section current, constituting situations at high risk of obstetrical rupture. Conclusion: Uterine ruptures secondary to operative hysteroscopy are rare but serious. They may occur before any labour, and involve the vital prognosis of the mother-foetus. Once the risk factors have been identified, there is no way of preventing the progression to obstetric uterine rupture. The vigilance of the obstetrician in this context must be extreme, trying to authenticate the slightest clinical sign in favour of a pre-rupture of the uterus. However, systematic Caesarean section is not justified.

In recent years, with the territorial dispute between China and Japan, the research on Okinawa's national subjectivity and cultural themes and its achievements have been increasing in China. However, research on post- World War II Okinawa literature is still not mature. The theses, which analyze Okinawa’s history, religion, folklore, culture, and even the potential consciousness of Okinawa, people since ancient times from the perspective of post- World War II Okinawa literature is especially rare. When we study the post- World War II Okinawa literature, it is important for us to ignore Oshiro Tatsuhiro (1925-2020), the first Okinawa writer, who won The Akutagawa Prize, the highest honor in Japanese pure literature. Oshiro Tatsuhiro's literature not only records the relationship between China and Ryukyu with a strong sense of history and humanistic sentiment, but also is praised because of his distinctive Okinawa character, and it also has its own place in the field of "Japanese literature." In a sense, we can also refer to the literature of Oshiro Tatsuhiro as a cross-nation and mixed literature.

Learning for students was to master the material in the purpose of facing the learning evaluation, and it was requiring a maximum ability. In fact, there were students who were not able to master the material. This situation informed that there was a low learning activity. This problems could be solved by having a scientific learning activities based using assignment techniques and classroom management. Learning activities were shown through the involvement of students in physical and mental activities by completing assignments both inside and outside the classroom. And it was done using scientific principles in order to create a conducive atmosphere and optimal learning maintenance. The exploratory method was carried out during the learning process at elementary school teacher education study program of UMN Al-Washliyah. Before the learning activities begun, it was done earlier by controlling and coordinating the class preparation for presenting the results of the assignments. Learning activities were begun through the steps and process of observation, asking questions, collecting information by experimenting, processing information and communicating. The technique of presenting the results of the assignment was debate, which meant that all students should prepare themselves mentally about the material being discussed. When the presenter reviewed the material, the examiner can be directly asking or objecting to the review of the material presented by the presenter.

Guided FNAC has become a clinching investigation for intra-abdominal lesions be it palpable or non-palpable. FNAC as superseded the need for biopsy as it involves a complex setup for laparotomy procedure and very small and deep-seated lesions cannot be approached by biopsy. This study included all palpable and non-palpable lesions in different abdominal organs presented in various departments of Sawai Man Singh Hospital, Jaipur. Relevant investigations were taken by the patients before posting them for procedure including prothrombin time and contraindications considered like haemangiomas, bleeding tendencies. The aspirates were stained with H &E stain and MGG stain and special stains applied when required. A total of 1220 cases were received in the duration of one year. A female preponderance was noted with M: F (1:1.32). The age range was from 11-month-old to 98-year-old patients. Maximum cases were in the age group of 51-60 years (219 cases). Liver was the most common site (45%) followed by gall bladder (31.3%) and then pancreas (6.55%). Majority of lesions were malignant (55.8%) followed by benign (15%). Malignant lesions were noted more in females whereas male population had more of benign and inflammatory lesions. The rate of malignant lesions increased as the age increased. In liver most common malignancies were metastatic lesions whereas in gall bladder, primary lesions were more common. FNAC has a very high sensitivity which makes it a first line investigation in evaluation of abdominal lesions. It has both diagnostic and prognostic value and enables a surgeon for treatment modalities.

The implementation of the Modern Management Accounting System provides many benefits, but requires several facilities and adjustments in order to function properly. Activity Based Budgeting (ABB) is a system that is useful for managing the production process by providing deeper insights into production utilization and resource allocation compared to traditional budgeting systems. This paper examines the possibilities, benefits and difficulties that may be faced in implementing the ABB system in the manufacturing process of PT XYZ frits in the Indonesian ceramic industry. This paper uses an experimental approach in the application of ABB at PT XYZ to determine the occurrence of inaccuracies in natural gas charging and to eliminate activities that are not value added. The cost of natural gas in the production of frits products is the largest production cost. The conclusions show that some benefits can be obtained and provide more accurate cost information and non-value added activities, in this case, the reworking, dripping and resmelting processes can be eliminated.
