New Testament Circumstantial Participles
Authors: Greenlee J. Harold
Published: November 2021

Participles in the Greek NT have a great variety of meanings or functions. One important meaning is to express a circumstance: the aorist tense expressing a circumstance prior to the action of the leading verb; the present tense, a circumstance concurrent to or occasionally subsequent to that of the leading verb. Unfortunately, various grammars fail to distinguish the circumstantial function from other functions. English versions of the NT likewise often render participles incorrectly. The present article seeks to clarify these distinctions and to enable the reader of the Greek NT to determine the function of the participles he encounters.
Toward a Code of Ethics in Bible Translation
Authors: Werner Eberhard
Published: November 2021

As Bible translation slowly develops into a discipline of its own, ethical standards need to be defined. In functional and skopos-oriented translation theories, an obligatory work plan gives support to expressing and regulating the expectations, capabilities and the contextual environments of a Bible translation project. Such agreements should also describe a code of ethics to which all agree. The interdisciplinary and professional nature of Bible translation leads increasingly to a collection of expertise that also requires an ethical framework to guarantee mutual understanding. Balancing out divine intervention against human responsibility is foundational to a code of ethics in Bible translation with Scripture-internal (emic), outward-oriented (etic) and mediating ethical aspects. To deal with the ethics of translating a text of divine origin, the author presents a perspective on the notion of divine inspiration that he calls impact-inspiration. A general code of ethics in Bible translation states the general but minimal agreements of those involved in Bible translation, and an individual code of ethics in Bible translation builds on the former and states the ethical agreement in Bible translation projects as part of a work plan.
Four Bible Translation Types and Some Criteria to Distinguish Them
Authors: Floor Sebastian
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on the classification of Bible translation types. This paper proposes four types instead of the traditional two: literal and idiomatic or dynamic equivalent. The four types are Type 1) close (or literal) resemblance, Type 2) open resemblance, Type 3) close (or limited) interpretative, and Type 4) open interpretative. There are several continua of criteria: the degree of resemblance to the original semantic content, the degree of explicitness, and the type of adjustments needed to unpack the meaning. Eight criteria of adjustments are proposed to distinguish these four types: 1) order of clauses and phrases, 2) sentence length, 3) reference disambiguation and tracking, 4) concordance of lexical items, 5) key terms and unknown terms, 6) figurative usage and idioms, 7) transition marking, and 8) information structure.
Using Features of Indigenous Poetry and Music in the Oral Performance of Some Praise Psalms in Isizulu
Authors: Dickie June
Published: November 2021

Translation needs to be accessible and acceptable to the receptor community. In the case of the Zulu people, the medium of communication most accessible to the majority is oral performance. Thus biblical text needs to be translated in a way that is prepared for the ear and not the eye. To be acceptable, the translation should sound like “my language,” using indigenous forms and contemporary vocabulary. When translating biblical psalms into isiZulu, they should sound like Zulu songs or poems, with all the richness of performance texture that is part of the long history of Zulu oral art. With this goal in mind, and given the tradition of Zulu praise poetry and the passion Zulu youth today have for poetry, a study was conducted in which young Zulu people, taking cognizance of their Zulu traditions in poetry and music, applied these to the translation and performance of some biblical praise psalms. The results show the value of focusing on orality, indigenous poetics, and performance in communicating effectively the message of some praise psalms.
The Samaritan Woman in John 4
Authors: Sim Ronald J.
Published: November 2021

John 4 is usually believed to portray a woman who is morally disreputable and socially marginal. The paper challenges this popular view, showing that the assumptions on which it is based are less secure than commonly thought, questioning a bridging reference, pointing out a word-play in the text built around the two contextual senses of ἀνήρ, and re-reading the text within an expanded and nuanced context of assumptions that were accessible to 1st century readers. This offers a more positive reading which should caution Bible interpreters and translators against relying on their initial presuppositions, which may over-influence a translation along one direction, and instead taking time to examine the best context for reading a text.
“HOLY MONEY”: GODS, MEN AND ECONOMY IN ANTIQUITY
Authors: Corrente Paola
Published: November 2021

Religion and economy have had a very important role in shaping society and their connection to social matters has been present since the very appearance of money and birth of economic activities. In antiquity, the bond between religion and economy was very strong because ancient world was symbolic and was embedded with magic and religious ideas: economy was part of this “wholeness”, because it inherited from the past the social practices aimed at the well-being of people, which were under the direct protection of the gods. The aim of my paper, hence, is to analyze the religious dimensions of money and economy in ancient societies, following the perspective of philosophy and mythology. Through the guide of a careful observer of human behavior, the great philosopher Aristotle, both disciplines can give interesting insights on the effect economy can have on society. The background for my research will be the cultures of ancient Mediterranean world, in particular, Greece and Mesopotamia, for we have a considerable amount of documents and literary works, whereas, regarding the methodology, I will approach the texts from an historical and comparative perspective.
NO QUEER AGGIORNAMENTO THIS TIME: RESUBSCRIBING TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF NATURAL LAW, POPE FRANCIS FORECLOSES REFORMS OF CATHOLIC TEACHING ON SEXUALITY
Authors: A. Aquino Jorge
Published: November 2021

This article argues that a much anticipated liberalization of doctrine of matters of sexuality will not take place under Pope Francis. Though the pope has brought a more tolerant manner and tone in his discourse on homosexuality, the underlying foundation remains frozen, amid reiterated essentializations of gender that derive from archaic Catholic constructions of natural law. The article reviews Catholic doctrine on sexuality, particularly since the Church’s 1975 instruction on sexual ethics. Thinking with the “indecent theology” proposals of Argentine-Scottish theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid, the author compares prior expressions of doctrine with those found in key magisterial writings of Pope Francis. He concludes that the more open spirit and tone in the Pope’s public pronouncements are not matched by any significant shift in his teaching on sexuality, compared to his predecessors.
TOWARD A NEW GOVERNMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM: ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSAL OF POPE FRANCIS
Authors: Torres Aníbal
Published: November 2021

In a sign of continuity with his predecessors, the first Latin American Pope pays attention to diplomacy and representative democracy. Thus, although he is sometimes not perceived in this way, Francis has not neglected traditional level of interaction that the Church has managed to maintain in its long history, generally alternating moments of conflict and cooperation, and not without taking it into account when defining their own models of authority: the link with states. If attention to the community of states, it is not in itself something new for the Vatican, it certainly is the approach and the agenda emphasis that every pontiff has made of international relations. Thus, the article seeks to answer a series of questions: What newness does Pope Bergoglio contribute to “diplomacy”? Is the Pontiff’s proposal for international governance comparable to a world state? Moreover, how does Francisco’s position on the international system articulate with the “reform of the papacy”? More concretely, how does the Pope conceive the mission of the central government of the Church and of papal diplomacy? Finally, what role does Latin America play in the planetary scheme of the Bishop of Rome? The article points out that Francisco proposes a new international political institution, and he understands that in the current critical world situation, diplomacy has a particular relevance. It is also stressed that for the Pope the central government of the Church and diplomacy must be at the service of building bridges for the promotion of justice and peace. In addition, the article says that the peoples and cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean have a potential that the Pontiff values positively.

Authors: Setyawan Fendi
Published: November 2021

Untuk menjamin peraturan perundang-undangan yang dibuat dan diberlakukan tidak bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila, maka diperlukan instrumen hukum indikator nilai Pancasila. Namun permasalahannya adalah adakah intrumen hukum yang dapat digunakan sebagai acuan dalam pembentukan dan evaluasi peraturan perundang-undangan  dan kelembagaan hukum apa yang memiliki kewenangan untuk melakukan evaluasi dan penyelarasan terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan dimaksud? Untuk menjawab permasalahan ini, metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual dan perundang-undangan. Analisis dilakukan secara deskriftif kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deduktif dan penarikan kesimpulan secara preskriptif. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah bahwa BPIP dan BPHN telah menyusun dan menggunakan indikator nilai-nilai Pancasila untuk melakukan evaluasi, kajian dan analisis serta penyelarasan peraturan perundang-undangan yang didasarkan pada nilai-nilai Pancasila di internal kelembagaannya. Instrumen ini perlu dikembangkan dan diperkuat dengan mencantumkannya dalam lampiran Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011, agar setiap pembentuk peraturan perundang-undangan memiliki pemahaman dan panduan yang sama. Adapun terkait kelembagaan, perlu adanya penguatan dan sinergitas antar lembaga pembentuk peraturan perundang-undangan untuk mengistitusionalisasikan nilai-nilai Pancasila.

Two Years of Covid-19 in Retailing: Issues and Changes
Authors: Caboni Federica , Pizzichini Lucia
Published: November 2021

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars have studied effects caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus in different fields such as management, finance, business, and social science in general. The retailing sector was profoundly affected by several modifications during and after the first and second waves of COVID-19 worldwide. The spread of Covid-19, with the associated restrictions, the fear of social contact and the need to maintain physical distance, influenced both consumers and retailers. However, it was found that there is a lack of studies on key issues in the retail sector. For that reason, this paper aims to study how scholars in the business management research field have analysed this new retailing crisis and the retail field’s subsequent transformation. By adopting a qualitative research method based on a literature review, this paper identifies the main research topics – shopping, consumer behaviour, technology, and digitalization – related to COVID-19 and retailing in the business management research area. In particular, it was found that the above-mentioned topics need to be investigated in light of their connection and interrelation. The study shows the connection between the online shopping behaviours stimulated by the pandemic, the different retailer strategies to overcome the restrictions, and how digital technologies can serve as a bridge between the two.

Meer varkens zonder zienswijzen dan nodig. Rechtsbescherming bij de bestuursrechter na het arrest Varkens in nood

Volgens het arrest Varkens in Nood van het Hof van Justitie is artikel 6:13 Algemene wet bestuursrecht in strijd met het Verdrag van Aarhus. De beperking op het beroepsrecht door de eis van een eerder ingediende zienswijze verdraagt zich namelijk niet met artikel 6. Vervolgens heeft de Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak consequenties uit het arrest getrokken, onder meer door de eis van voorafgaande zienswijzen te laten vallen en soms het beroepsrecht open te stellen voor eenieder. Het valt te betogen dat de Afdeling artikel 6:13 Awb wel heel ruimhartig heeft toegepast. Een restrictievere lezing van het arrest was ook denkbaar geweest.

Kwantificeren is geen kwalificeren: de uitspraak van het Hof van Justitie inzake de vaststelling van willekeurig geweld (art. 15c-situaties)

Kwantificeren is geen kwalificeren: de uitspraak van het Hof van Justitie inzake de vaststelling van willekeurig geweld (art. 15c-situaties)

Artikel 15 aanhef en onder c Richtlijn 2011/95/EU (de Kwalificatierichtlijn) bevat de criteria voor het bestaan van ‘ernstige schade’ met het oog op zogenoemde ‘subsidiaire bescherming’. Subsidiaire bescherming is een van de twee vormen van internationale bescherming; vluchtelingschap is de andere vorm. Subsidiaire bescherming wordt verleend indien aannemelijk is dat bij uitzetting van de vreemdeling gegronde redenen bestaan op een reëel risico om te worden onderworpen aan: (a) doodstraf of executie, (b) folteringen, onmenselijke of vernederende behandelingen of bestraffingen, of (c) ernstige en individuele bedreiging van het leven of de persoon van een burger als gevolg van willekeurig geweld in het kader van een internationaal of binnenlands gewapend conflict. In deze uitspraak bevestigt het Hof van Justitie dat de beoordeling van de vraag of sprake is van een artikel 15c-situatie een algemene beoordeling betreft waarbij de verschillende relevante elementen in samenhang moeten worden beoordeeld. Een beoordeling die alleen ziet op het aantal doden en gewonden wordt in strijd geacht met het Unierecht. Het Hof van Justitie gaat met name in op factoren uit het eerdere arrest Diakité; deze worden in dit arrest nogmaals benadrukt.

Review on The Production of Fermented Beverage as a Post-Harvest Processing Alternative For Mango, Banana and Purple Sweet Potato
Authors: Yurista Sonia , Aditiawati Pingkan
Published: November 2021

West Java is one of the regions in Indonesia that produces large numbers of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato. After harvesting, these commodities will undergo physical, chemical, and physiological changes so that further post-harvest processing is needed. One of the post-harvest processing that can be done is fermentation. Fermenting mango, banana, and purple sweet potato into wine is a simple and efficient method that can increase the economic value of the product. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from grapes; however, any fruit and tuber could be used for wine-making. The article reviews the potential of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato for wine production, the microbes involved, and pretreatments of mango, banana, and purple sweet potato.
Sex Estimation Using Geometric Morphometrics
Authors: Black Valda
Published: November 2021

Creating and testing efficient techniques for the sex estimation of modern human skeletal remains has been a significant focus in biological anthropology. It is well established that the innominate, particularly the pubic bone, is a sexually dimorphic part of the human skeleton, but prone to fragmentation. Using modern pubic bones of known age and sex, this study aims to capture shape differences using geometric morphometrics (GMM) to test classification accuracy of segments of the pubic bone. The sample consists of 70 left adult pubic bones from the William M. Bass Donated Skeletal Collection, with 35 males and 35 females of mixed age and population affinity. Landmarks were placed on the dorsal surface of the pubic body and ischiopubic ramus to capture their overall shape in two dimensions, so the study is easily replicable and applicable. The scans were separately run through a generalized Procrustes, principal components (PCA), and canonical linear discriminant function analysis (DFA). The DFA results show high classification accuracy for the pubic body (94% males, 100% females) and the ischiopubic ramus (100% females, 97% males), with the PCA DFA allowing a researcher to explore specific shape changes driving the differentiation between groups. GMM was able to quantify and successfully discriminant the shape changes between males and females for small elements of the pubis, which can be applied to fragmentary remains and future morphological methods.
Morphology of Intersectionality
Authors: Clemmons Chaunesey
Published: November 2021

Forensic anthropologists operate within a medico-legal context, performing analyses to estimate a biological profile (ancestry, age, sex, stature) and make observations on trauma, pathological conditions, taphonomy, and other anomalies evident in skeletal remains. These findings are reported to the appropriate requesting agency to narrow down the possible identity of the unknown individual and to understand the death event. Boundaries of identity and the terminology used to describe and explain identity are dynamic and intersectional. Ancestry estimation is important because there is a bridge between ancestral categories and sociocultural labels. Yet, a lack of agreement between ancestry estimates and social identifiers exists for certain groups. To better understand why this disagreement exists, a three-component concept (bio-origin identity, public ancestral-racial identity, and self ancestral-racial identity) modeled after sociological frameworks is employed. This article explores the identity of a single individual within the study sample using the three-component concept. Results highlight that discordance exists between the identity approximated by ancestry estimation and the application of this identity to the sociocultural context. Understanding the importance of the intersectional nature of the terminology used in instances of forensic identification is imperative so as to not hinder identifications and marginalize groups.

Umweltschutzrecht in Polen
Authors: Kosieradzka-Federczyk Agata , Federczyk Wojciech
Published: November 2021

The analyzed thirty years of development of environmental law begin with the economic transformation of the country. This article treats this topic as a point of reference. In the first part of the article, the development of environmental law in Poland was presented by distinguishing time periods. The accession to the European Union has led to a rapprochement of Polish legislation with the EU, but the period that elapsed between the change of the political system and the accession to the EU was too short to catch up with the significant backlog in environmental protection. The second part of the article presents the development of the doctrine of environmental law. Among many considerations, one of the basic ones is to find the place of environmental law in the system of Polish law. The next part - the shortest one - presents the structure of the environmental protection public authorities. In its essential core, it was shaped in the 90 s. In this period, the division of tasks in environmental protection into governmental and self-governmental took place. In the subsequent years, authorities dealing with environmental impact assessment and nature protection were separated. The last change concerned the bodies of water protection. The last issue discussed in the paper concerns current problems in environmental protection. The main challenge is the quality of air - despite fairly extensive legal instruments, the improvement is insufficient. Polish policy on climate change is still burdened with historical negligence. Basing the energy sector on coal-fired installations, even if the share of RES in energy production increases, makes the transformation difficult. This part ends waste management issue. Here, too, the landfilling - a basic principle of waste management before the transition period, has changed significantly, but again the pace of change is too slow.

This article provides an overview of the formation and development of environmental law in Ukraine. The review covers the period from the early 90 s of the 20th century to the present days. The paper reveals the essence and the significance of the basic law "On Environmental Protection", as well as special laws aimed at regulating certain issues. The reasons and results of the environmental law new institute formation - the institute of environmental impact assessment - are highlighted separately. The authors concluded that the development of environmental law in Ukraine in the coming years would be carried out in two main directions. First, it is the systematization of a large number of legislative acts in the field of nature protection. Secondly, it is the approximation of Ukraine's environmental legislation to EU environmental law.
Oriental Images and Ethics. British Empire and the Arab Gulf (1727–1971). A Perspective from Historical Anthropology
Authors: el-Aswad el-Sayed
Published: November 2021

This article examines the images of the Arabian Gulf before and after the establishment of the Trucial States, presently the United Arab Emirates, in order to understand how such images have been constructed to change the culture of the region. Oriental images of the Arabian Gulf, reflecting the relationship between the Orient (Arab/Islam) and the West, were created in different historical stages. During the first stage (1727-1819), European orientalists depicted Arab Gulf inhabitants, particularly the Qawasim tribesmen, as pirates. The British considered the Qawasim to be allied with the Wahhabi movement, indicating that Arabs formed an integral part of the precarious Orient. During the second stage (1820-1891), British Empire established what is known as the Trucial States, implying the taming of the Arabian Gulf. During the third stage (1892-1971), the Trucial States became subjugated communities under the British protectorate. Ethical issues related to negative images of the Arab Gulf are discussed.
José Saramago e George Steiner. A antropologia do mal ou “o mal é”
Authors: Nogueira Carlos
Published: November 2021

In this article I address the problem of the definition, manifestations, characteristics, and causes of catastrophic evil (one that leads hundreds or thousands of people to exclusion, suffering and death in a short time). To this end, I start from a set of George Steiner’s theses on the nature of evil that José Saramago’s thought and literary discourse confirm and support with an eloquence and depth that is rare in both the history of ideas and and in universal literature.
The Collection, Authentication, and Use of Oral Evidence in African History
Authors: Ojieh Chukwuemeka Ojione
Published: November 2021

Several works on this subject have substantially established that oral evidence is a reliable source in African historiography. But it is not sufficient for such works being Africanist responses to Eurocentric postulations that pre-literate African societies, lacking Western-written sources, had no history. Though such works have improved our knowledge of the relevance of oral tradition in the reconstruction of African history, African oral tradition has been criticized by Western scholars. To this end, the article departures from most works on African oral historiography whose attentions are on the relevance of oral evidence in African history. Rather, it provides a manual on the process of engaging in the collection, authentication, and use of such oral data as to ensure that it is a credible source for writing African history. It is argued in the article that pre-literate African history will be more credible after critically scrutinizing data derived from oral evidence.
El conocimiento tradicional hñähñu de las características físicas de la fibra de ixtle (Agave spp.)
Authors: Reyes-Samilpa Alicia , y J. Antonio Reyes-Agüero , Hooft Anuschka van ‘t
Published: November 2021

This article presents an ethnographic description of the artisanal production of maguey fiber in Indigenous hñähñu localities of the Mezquital Valley in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. From an ethnobotanical perspective, that considers the physical characteristics of the fibers, a description is provided of the selection and extraction process, the preparation of the leaves before the defibration process, the defibration process itself, and the subsequent treatment of the ixtle (maguey fiber), as well as the carding techniques. Results show that both the selection process (species, variant, age of the leaf, and its central or marginal location) and the preparation of the fiber itself are variable but firmly rooted in local traditional ecological knowledge that corresponds with the required physical characteristics of length (cm), thickness (µm), linear density (dtex), tensile strength (N), and color of the fibers for textile production.

: Multiple inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a multisystem inflammatory disease following COVID-19 in children. This disease occurs a few weeks after COVID-19. A child with this condition develops a cytokine release cascade that results in organ damage. The involved organs include the heart, lungs, brain, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system. Fever is present in all patients and Kawasaki-like symptoms are one of the common features in these children. In this article, we introduce a child with MIS-C who has skin, gastrointestinal, neurological, and renal symptoms and has been hospitalized in the PICU.

Background: Resilience is a dynamic system for successful adjustment with various circumstances, particularly adverse living conditions. In this respect, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-12) can simultaneously assess the individual, relational, contextual, and cultural resources of resilience. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of CYRM-12 in Iranian youth. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total number of 440 students aged 14 - 18 years were enrolled. The students were studying in middle and high schools (the academic year of 2019 - 2020) in the city of Islamshahr, Iran, and were selected using random cluster sampling. Data collection questionnaires included the CYRM-12, CYRM-28, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: Our results supported the one-factor structure and showed that the given measure had a good fit (χ2/DF = 2.63, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.95, and GFI = 0.95). The internal consistency measured by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was also satisfactory (0.79). As well, the test-retest reliability determined by Pearson’s correlation coefficient (with a two-week interval) was obtained 0.70. Moreover, this scale had acceptable convergent and divergent validities. Conclusions: The Persian version of the CYRM-12 delivered good reliability and validity to assess resilience in Iranian youth.

Background: The cesarean section plays an important role in reducing mortality rates and postpartum complications in the mother and fetus in certain deliveries. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of magnesium sulfate supplementation on intrathecal marcain on pain control after cesarean section. Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was performed on 42 women candidates for cesarean section in Vali-e-Asr Hospital in Birjand in 2018. In each group, vital signs and pain score were assessed every 15 minutes using the Visual Intensity Pain Scale (VAS) 1,2,3,4,8,12 hours after surgery. Data were collected and analyzed using the Friedman test, t-test for independent groups, Mann-Whitney, and chi-square by SPSS software. Results: The mean age of women candidates for cesarean section was 29.11 ± 5.42 years. The mean VAS score in both groups at different times was statistically significant. At 1 and two hours after surgery, the mean VAS score in magnesium sulfate and marcaine groups was significantly higher than marcaine group and in three hours after the surgery, it was significantly less than the Marcain group but there was no significant difference in other times. Changes in pain intensity in the magnesium sulfate and marcaine groups were significantly greater than the marcaine group. Conclusions: Addition of magnesium sulfate to intrathecal marcaine has a significant effect on pain management after cesarean section.
