Purpose of ReviewAlcohol consumption significantly contributes to global morbidity and mortality, particularly in individuals with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of public health policies in reducing alcohol-related harm, focusing on SAFER initiatives and World Health Organization (WHO) “best buys.”Recent FindingsKey strategies to reduce the affordability of alcohol, such as alcohol taxation, minimum unit pricing, and legislation, have proven effective in reducing alcohol consumption and ALD-related deaths. However, their success varies across different regions and populations. Innovative approaches to further mitigate alcohol-related harm are also explored.SummaryThe review highlights the need for more robust, evidence-based public health policies to address alcohol-related diseases. A comprehensive, focused approach is essential to mitigate the global alcohol epidemic and its consequences, with an emphasis on policy refinement and greater understanding of alcohol-related harm.

The world of work or business has theological implications. For Christian business people, it is necessary to base their business activities on the word of God as a standard of faith and behavior so that they do not only pursue material gain but at the same time become witnesses of Christ. The purpose of this study was to find out how much influence Christian businessmen's understanding of Christian character has on employee performance, especially for those who are congregated at GBT Maranatha Bandung. The chosen research method is the quantitative-correlational method. The results of the study show that the influence of Christian businessmen's understanding of Christian character on the performance of employees who are congregated at GBT Maranatha Bandung is 0.446, which is in the medium category. Based on this, the understanding of Christian businessmen about Christian character must be continuously improved, so that employee performance can get better and can affect the results of a business. Christian business people must separate themselves from all business practices that are ethically unholy and fair by adopting Christian character as a Christian identity.

This article examines the identity of pastors in dealing with conflicts of interest between pastors. It has become commonplace these days to increasingly hear of conflicts of interest between pastors which result in arguments, divisions, and leave deep emotional wounds. Through this article, we will be able to understand the relationship between the identity of pastors in dealing with conflicts of interest with fellow ministers as Christians. By using case study research methods in a qualitative approach, accompanied by data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation, then the data is analyzed by data reduction and data presentation. The results of the research found that the pastors were born again, had personal experiences with God that awakened faith, had theological education, and had fairly good knowledge of the Bible, however there was an identity that was not in line with the teachings of the Word. From a psychological aspect, it was found that some of the priests did not have a father figure, some had died, divorced, and some had been entrusted to other people. These elements then have a negative impact on the pastor's identity if they are not handled wisely.AbstrakTulisan ini mengkaji perihal jati diri pendeta dalam menghadapi konflik kepentingan antar pendeta. Menjadi hal yang biasa pada hari-hari ini dengan semakin sering mendengar konflik kepentingan antar pendeta yang mengakibatkan pertengkaran, perpecahan, dan meninggalkan luka hati yang mendalam. Melalui tulisan ini akan dapat mengetahui kaitan jati diri pendeta dalam menghadapi konflik kepentingan dengan sesama rekan sepelayanan sebagai orang-orang kristen. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian studi kasus dalam pendekatan kualitatif, disertai teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, untuk kemudian data tersebut dianalisis dengan reduksi data dan penyajian data. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa para pendeta didapati telah lahir baru, memiliki pengalaman pribadi dengan Tuhan yang membangkitkan iman, memiliki pendidikan teologi, dan memiliki pengetahuan Alkitab yang cukup baik, namun demikian terdapat jati diri yang belum seturut dengan ajaran Firman. Dari aspek psikologis ditemukan bahwa para pendeta didapati ada yang tidak memiliki figur ayah, ada yang meninggal, bercerai, dan ada yang dititipkan kepada orang lain. Unsur-unsur tersebutlah yang kemudian berdampak negatif pada jati diri pendeta tersebut jika tidak disikapi bijaksana.

BACKGROUND: Glenohumeral bone loss plays a critical role in recurrent shoulder instability by altering contact area, congruency and performance of static restrains. During this study, we tried to gauge the clinical outcomes of surgical management of shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss treated with bony block.METHODS: This is a prospective study of 19 cases of shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss treated with bone block, either by transfer of coracoid process or using iliac crest tricortical graft. Preoperative evaluation was done in the form of clinical examination and radiological investigations (radiographs, CT scan and MRI) were performed in all the patients to measure the percentage of glenoid bone loss. Patients were evaluated clinico-radiologically and functional outcomes were drawn using CONSTANT and ROWE scores.RESULTS: The mean percentage of glenoid bone loss using three-dimensional CT scan was 23.05±7.39% in our study. Coracoid process transfer (Latarjet procedure) was performed in 15 patients while tricortical iliac crest graft (Eden-Hybinette procedure) was utilized in 4 patients. The mean follow-up was 14.4±2.1 months. Mean preoperative CONSTANT and ROWE scores were 79.26±4.69 and 26.57±12.8, which improved to 92.68±5.68 and 85±11.76 respectively at the last follow-up. The mean active external rotation, abduction and forward flexion were 48.95±9.37°, 175.79±7.69° and 169.47±7.05° respectively at the last follow-up. Nine patients had internal rotation upto D12 vertebral level.CONCLUSIONS: The bony block procedures are time tested and safe operations for management of recurrent anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss and provide good overall outcomes.

Czym jest Objawienie? Gdzie ono się znajduje? Jak je interpretować wobec zmieniających się kultur, układów społecznych, wykształcenia czy mentalności człowieka? To nie są pytania, na które jest łatwo dać odpowiedź, gdyż mamy do czynienia z Kościołem Trójosobowego Boga, który jako wspólnota wiary kroczy już od ponad 2000 lat przez burzliwe dzieje świata. Problematyka Objawienia już od początków istnienia Bosko--ludzkiej wspólnoty stanowiła przedmiot jej refleksji 1 . Wybitny teolog lubelski Marian Rusecki dowodzi nawet, że religia już sama w sobie posiada objawieniową genezę 2 . Pomijamy zatem tu bogatą literaturę historyczną na ten temat rozwoju rozumienia Objawienia 3 . Przejdziemy bezpośrednio do przedłożonej przez Sobór 1

<p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p> <p><em>Production of fish from reservoir waters can be increased through scientific sharing of fish production practices. Adoption of this approach will have the effect of promoting the socio-economic status of the related rural population by providing employment opportunities to them. Proper utilization of reservoir water resources will increase national fish production. Although many reservoirs are available in the country, they are not utilized for the development of fisheries, aimed at welfare and development of fisher communities to improve their economic standards. The socio – economic status of reservoir -dependent fishermen can be studied by using certain parameters such as their dwelling places and ownerships, educational status, kind of occupation as fishermen, full or part time, age, experience in fisheries, training, total family income, expenditure, sources of fishery-related information etc. In fisheries, social status of fishers is relatable to interactions with each other, either as individuals or as groups. This form of interaction is related to socio-economics of the concerned, regarded as depicting their relative status in the line. Socioeconomics are a common combination encountered in the field of planning and developmental work. Socio -economic studies begin with a detailed description of socio- demographic characters of population.</em></p>

Evangelism is an inseparable part of the Christian's life. The basis of evangelism is the motivation of “God's love” (John 3:16) or God's concern for those who are lost or lost. In doing so, God uses the means of believers to be channels of blessing to all nations (Gal. 3:9, 14, 29). Meanwhile, the ultimate goal is to establish the Kingdom of God. This shows that evangelism can never be separated from the demonstration of the faith and good works of believers. In this study, the writer aims to find the implications of faith and practice related to the context of early church evangelism in terms of James 2:14-26. The methodological reference that the author uses is biblical studies which include exegesis and Bible studies. According to the study of James 2:14-26, it implies that faith and works cannot be separated from the evangelistic life of Christians. A godly lifestyle and love for all is living evangelism. Because the development of the early church has shown that their quantity increases with the quality of life that shows the way of living the Kingdom of God.Penginjilan adalah bagian yang tidak pernah bisa dilepaskan dari kehidupan orang Kristen Dasar dari penginjilan adalah motivasi “kasih Allah” (Yoh. 3:16) atau kepedulian Allah terhadap mereka yang sesat atau terhilang. Dalam pelaksanaannya Allah memakai sarana orang-orang percaya untuk menjadi saluran berkat bagi semua bangsa (Gal. 3:9, 14, 29). Sementara, tujuan puncaknya adalah mendirikan Kerajaan Allah. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penginjilan tidak pernah bisa dilepaskan dari demonstrasi iman dan perbuatan baik orang percaya. Dalam kajian ini penulis bertujuan untuk menemukan implikasi tentang iman dan perbuatan yang dikaitkan dalam penginjilan jemaat mula-mula ditinjau dari Yakobus 2:14-26. Adapun acuan metodologi yang penulis pakai adalah studi biblika yang mencakup eksegesis dan kajian Alkitab. Menurut kajian Yakobus 2:14-26 memberikan implikasi bahwa iman dan perbuataan tidak bisa dilepaskan dari kehidupan penginjilan orang Kristen. Gaya hidup saleh dan kasih kepada semua orang merupakan penginjilan yang hidup. Sebab dari perkembangan jemaat mula-mula telah memperlihatkan bahwa kuantitas mereka bertambah seiring kualitas hidup yang menunjukkan cara hidup Kerajaan Allah.

Genesis 3:1-7 is the most important of the four chapters in the chapter. The problem that occurred was when the woman in the garden came face to face with a snake who said to her, “you will never die” (Gen 3:4). These words resulted in a dialogue that made the woman not only see and think that the fruit gave understanding, but she also took, ate and gave it to her husband and her husband ate it (Gen 3:6). This action has caused their eyes to be opened so that they know that they are naked (Gen. 3:7a), and they make their loincloths, because naked is a picture of their sinful condition. Meanwhile the LORD God had announced His Law “…in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die” Genesis 2:17.
