Integrating Faith and Learning Using a Biblical Concept-Based Curriculum.
J Christ Nurs
December 2024
Ashley Bell, PhD, RN, OCN, CNE, is an associate professor of nursing at Missouri Baptist University. Her clinical passions include oncology nursing and spiritual care. She enjoys providing transformational learning experiences that encourage students to integrate their faith into practice.
The integration of faith and learning (IFL) in nursing has deep historical roots. However, barriers have developed to successful IFL in Christian higher education. A biblically based concept curriculum (BBCC) is proposed that emphasizes deep learning, critical thinking, and student-centered learning.

How often do we reflect on the potential moral or value implications - what is right, wrong, has value and is (in)appropriate - of seemingly trivial analytical decisions, such as how to dichotomise a variable? I argue that analytical choices relate to multifaceted and oftentimes challenging moral issues that scientists should take into deeper consideration. Here, I illustrate a variety of potential considerations about moral values, including issues like exclusion, marginalisation, autonomy, responsibility, non-maleficence in relation to various common analytical choices and practices, such as the use of thresholds for disease diagnosis or population definition, the use of composite measures in the context of clarifying effects, classification practices, decisions on variable selection, as well as decisions relating to (dis)aggregation of data. I discuss these examples in the context of reasonable theoretical or statistical reservations.

Article Synopsis
- People with Parkinson's disease often have speech problems, affecting how they talk and interact with others.
- The PD COMM trial tested two types of therapy to help with these speech issues: one is called Lee Silverman Voice Treatment LOUD, and the other is regular speech therapy from the National Health Service.
- The study took place in the UK and involved different groups of participants, comparing the effectiveness and cost of each therapy method against doing nothing.
Communication is an essential aspect of care for all patients but is especially important for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Nurses who care for persons living with dementia (PwD), as well as family members and caregivers, need understanding of verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and approaches that are effective throughout the stages of dementia. Spiritual assessment and care also are critical.

This paper introduces a novel design for a universal DC-DC and DC-AC converter tailored for DC/AC microgrid applications using Approximate Dynamic Programming and Artificial Neural Networks (ADP-ANN). The proposed converter is engineered to operate efficiently with both low-power battery and single-phase AC supply, utilizing identical side terminals and switches for both chopper and inverter configurations. This innovation reduces component redundancy and enhances operational versatility.
