Published: September 2021

In the banking system, banks have a variety of products to provide, but credit lines are their primary source of revenue. As a result, they will profit from the interest earned on the loans they make. Loans, or whether customers repay or default on their loans, affect a bank's profit or loss. The bank's Non-Performing Assets will be reduced by forecasting loan defaulters. As a result, further investigation into this occurrence is essential. Because precise forecasts are essential for benefit maximisation, it's crucial to analyse and compare the various methodologies. The logistic regression model is an important predictive analytics tool for detecting loan defaulters. In order to assess and forecast, data from Kaggle is acquired. Logistic Regression models were used to calculate the various performance indicators. The models are compared using performance metrics like sensitivity and specificity. In addition to checking account details (which indicate a customer's wealth), the model is significantly better because it includes variables (customer personal attributes such as age, objective, credit score, credit amount, credit period, and so on) that should be considered when correctly calculating the probability of loan default. As a result, using a logistic regression approach, the appropriate clients to target for loan issuance can be easily identified by evaluating their plausibility of loan default. The model implies that a bank should assess a creditor's other attributes, which play a critical role in credit decisions and forecasting loan defaulters, in addition to giving loans to wealthy borrowers.

Authors: S Balaji , Selvi Dr. M. Thamarai
Published: September 2021

Consumption of green leafy vegetables is part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Cauliflower leaves are rich in iron and calcium also has highest waste index. In order to diversify jellies and promote healthy eating, an attempt was made to utilize its leaves thus reducing the wastage. This study investigated the formulation and acceptability of jelly which were formulated with different proportions of orange juice and cauliflower leaf extract in the ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75,0:100. Present study includes standardization of jellies, organoleptic evaluation, nutrient and cost calculation of formulated cauliflower leaf jellies. Among the five variations, jellies containing 50 percent cauliflower leaf extract had higher sensory score (8.8±0.2) than the plain orange jelly. On supplementation of cauliflower leaves (Variation II), iron and calcium content increased from 0.4 to 10.8 mg and 9 to 192.3 mg respectively. The cost of the formulated jelly was found to be Rs 2.0/15g. Formulated jellies also had better micronutrient content when compared to standard jellies. It can be concluded that cauliflower leaf jelly can be prepared with good sensory, nutritional quality and cost-effective product as a means of nutrient enrichment. Hence, cauliflower leaves could be utilized to progress the nutritional status of the people.
The Effect of Reversion of Strain-Induced Martensite (SIM) and Grain Refinement on the Intergranular Corrosion of High Mn Steel
Authors: Shukla Sourabh , Patil Awanikumar P. , Bansod Ankur
Published: September 2021

The surface phase constituent of high-manganese austenitic stainless steel after cold work (15%, 30%, and 50%) and thermal aging at 900°C for 30 min and 6 h, was characterized using x-ray diffraction. The microstructural analysis was conducted using an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and the electron backscatter diffraction technique. The double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation test was used to measure the intergranular corrosion resistance (degrees of sensitization). The results showed that fine-recovered grains of austenite and strain-induced martensite together formed the surface of high-manganese steel after cold work. Because of the formation of strain-induced martensite in the cold-worked samples, their intergranular corrosion was much higher than that of the as-received sample. Also, the degree of sensitization of 15% cold work was higher (i.e., more intergranular corrosion) compared to the degrees of sensitization of 30% and 50% cold work. On the contrary, the intergranular corrosion of high-manganese austenitic stainless steel sample subjected to cold work was eliminated during thermal aging at 900°C for 6 h because of the reversion of strain-induced martensite and fine-reverted austenite grains. Owing to this grain refinement of austenite, faster diffusion rate of Cr at higher temperature and cold work helped healing of Cr-depletion zone in a shorter time. In other words, because the results showed that on 50% cold work and thermal aging at 900°C for 6 h, the high-manganese austenitic stainless steel does not become susceptible to intergranular corrosion. Hence, it could be beneficial to investigate the intergranular corrosion of high-manganese austenitic stainless steel.
Improved High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) Materials Qualification Using Dissolved H2S Concentration as the Sour Service Scalable Metric
Authors: Sherar Brent W.A. , Ellis Peter , Ning Jing
Published: September 2021

Gas phase H2S partial pressure (PH2S) is associated with sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and is routinely used as the “scalable” parameter to qualify materials for high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) wells. Candidate materials for HPHT wells routinely require ANSI/NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 compliance because a few mole ppm of H2S at high pressure may place the well beyond the 0.05 psia (0.3 kPa) sour service threshold. PH2S has been accepted historically as the scalable sour severity parameter. However, as the total pressure increases, the relationship between PH2S and the dissolved H2S concentration becomes nonlinear. This limits the robustness of PH2S as the sour severity metric. Thus, ISO 15156-1:2020 now permits the use of H2S fugacity (fH2S), H2S activity (aH2S), and H2S aqueous concentration (CH2S) as alternatives for sour testing. This recent revision is based on evidence that fH2S and CH2S each provide better correlations to SSC at elevated total pressures than PH2S. This paper will address the merits and challenges of using fH2S or CH2S to define sour severity: we argue that CH2S is a practical, experimentally verifiable approach, which can be used to validate ionic-equation of state frameworks used to characterize mildly sour HPHT environments.

Authors:   Deparment of Political Science Assam University, Silchar., Das Shaibal
Published: September 2021

South Asia was under the colonial regime for a long period of time and it is a very diverse and unique region. South Asia has been plagued by terrorism for so many years. Due to terrorism, South Asia has suffered economically as well as politically and it has strained the relationship between many countries. Almost all the countries of South Asia are the sufferers of this threat and therefore a number of conventions and frameworks have been formulated to eradicate this. Terrorism is a challenge for all and a good cooperation among all the stakeholders is required in this regard. SAARC as a regional organization of South Asia has a lot of responsibility in this issue. Since its inception, SAARC has done various things but due to the political differences between the members it has failed to evolve an effective strategy. It has also failed to implement its guidelines and conventions on the ground and therefore a reform in SAARC is very necessary. To make South Asia a terror free region, all the countries should join hands and should work collectively. They should work by removing their political differences because a unified and strong SAARC will help South Asia in numerous ways and it will bring hope for the betterment of this region in all the possible ways. In this regard the present paper tries to examine the issue of terrorism and the prospect of security in South Asia.
From Look East to Act East : Opportunities for North-East India with Special Reference to Silchar
Authors:   Department of Political Science Assam University, Silchar., Sharma Priyotosh
Published: September 2021

The Act East Policy of India which actually succeeded India’s Look East Policy has deepened India’s engagement and ties with the East and Southeast Asian countries. The Act East Policy is a continuation of former Look East Policy of India which was introduced by P. V. Narasimha Rao Government in the early years of 1990s. If we, however, look at both the policies we could find the Act East Policy has reached far beyond in several areas where the former policy could not reach. The Act East Policy emphasizes on practicing more action oriented policies towards East and Southeast Asian Countries so that India can emerge as a major power in Asia. Under the Act East Policy, India’s linkages and connectivity with the Southeast Asian countries and ASEAN have been strengthened through a numbers of bilateral and regional trade agreements. The new Policy also aims at effective implementation of proposed policies and programs by developing better relations with these countries through bilateral talks, trade, business and economic, strategic and cultural ties. This paper tries to summarize the opportunities that the Act East Policy offers to India in general and to the North-East India, in particular. To point out the role Silchar and its strategic importance in the Act Policy is another objective of this paper. At the end, it highlights the major challenges which may harm the growth of Act East Policy of India.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. As the urban population grows and the global economy develops, municipal solid waste management (MSWM) has become an increasingly prominent global issue. MSWM is particularly difficult in developing countries due to its high cost and time-consuming nature. The Environment-based design (EBD) can potentially contribute to global MSWM by reducing costs and increasing efficiency, especially in helping developing countries identify critical issues in MSWM. This paper uses and demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the EBD method to analyze and identify critical issues in MSWM, using the city of Nairobi as a case study. This paper contains the first two of EBD's three activities: environment analysis and conflict identification, during the design problem period, design knowledge, and design solutions simultaneously and interdependently evolve as a part of the environment. The comparison with the existing literature confirms that the conclusions reached are, to some extent, reliable, time-saving, and less costly, which will offer a possibility to solve the problem of MSWM in impoverished areas.
FACTORS AFFECTING CITIZENS’ INTENTION TO CONTINUE USING THE REWARDING SOLID-WASTE COLLECTION MOBILE APPS IN TEHRAN, IRAN
Authors: Behnamifard F. , Ahmady H. , Shokri H.
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Despite technological advances in waste recycling and management, many developing countries, including Iran, are still in the early stages of this process: the segregation and collection of recyclable waste. In this regard, to increase citizens' coope ration in household waste segregation, a rewarding solid-waste collection system has been established in the metropolises of Iran. In such circumstances, it is evident that maintaining the continued use of citizens without compromising their satisfaction has become an essential concern in the development of a sustainable waste collection and recycling system in Iran. For this reason, the present study tries to investigate the factors affecting citizens' continuous intention to use the rewarding solid-waste collection (RSWC) mobile apps in Tehran (the capital of Iran). In this regard, first, the conceptual model of the research is obtained by combining the widely used ECM model with D&M’s IS success model. Then, the questionnaire designed based on previous studies was provided to the citizens, and out of a total of 373 completed questionnaires, by removing the incomplete ones, 302 questionnaires were finally analysed. A partial least squares (PLS) analysis based SEM using SmartPLS was performed to assess the model and verify hypotheses. Results show that various variables significantly influence users’ continuous intention to use RSWC mobile apps. Meanwhile, RSWC mobile apps should improve their platform quality and rewarding system, strengthen their content quantity, and ensure the consistency between their service and citizens’ satisfaction.

The sea in our bodies: writing in/with/from the intertidal zone
Authors: Fagan Melissa
Published: September 2021

Rachel Carson, in The Sea Around Us, wrote that we carry the sea in our bodies (1951). Our bodily engagements with the sea can engender a sense of oneness; literature about the sea, and about surfing, often reflects this. Yet, even when we are in the sea, we might struggle to see beyond ourselves: the sun gets in our eyes; our image is reflected on the surface of the water; in the case of surfers, we only have eyes for the next wave. As Kanaka Hawaiian scholar Karin Amimoto Ingersoll, herself a surfer, notes: ‘Despite our perceived identities as organic beings, surfers are neither innocent nor benign voyagers, and our experiences and our practices often escape our intentions and philosophies’ (2016, p. 4). Embracing a materially-immersed subjectivity that is both embodied and porous, which Stacy Alaimo calls trans-corporeality, my essay seeks to emulate the sea’s energy in content and form, riding a wave of embodied creative-critical writing-thinking. I will contemplate the interrelationships between surfing, writing and practice-led research and in doing so demonstrate how surfing has influenced both my writing and thinking, while exploring how trans-corporeality offers an ethical and methodological basis for writing in/with/from the intertidal zone.

Published: September 2021

With the increasing role of technology in transferring information in our daily lives, the Arabic language has become the fourth language used on the Internet. Therefore, to develop different information systems in the Arabic language, we should determine the syntax and semantics of creating a text efficiently and accurately. Part of speech (POS) is one of the primary methods employed to develop any language corpus. Each language consists of several tags applied in different applications, such as natural language processing (NLP), speech synthesis, and information extraction.  One of the main benefits of adopting cloud computing services is the offer a low cost and time to store your company data compared to traditional methods. This paper presents and deploys a cloud computing architecture for Tagging Arabic text using a hybrid model, which will help reduce the efforts and cost. The results show an excellent accuracy rate in tagging an Arabic text and quickly respond. Previous studies are compared based on relevant rating factors, which achieved high accuracy, procession, and recall rate of more than 95%.  The cloud computing tagger attained an accuracy of 99.2%.

Comparison of Colorectal cancer prognosis between developed and developing countries: A literature review.
Authors: Ramaswamy Naik Venkatesh
Published: September 2021

Background: The cancer is caused when cells start dividing abnormally in the body. Age, genetics and lifestyle are major risk factors in developing cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund states that colorectal cancer incidence is globally ranked third in men and second in women. This highlights the need for effective screening and management of colorectal cancer to achieve better prognosis to prevent mortality and morbidity. Screening and management are not uniform all over the world, and it is affected by the economy of individual countries. In this context, we aimed to explore the prognosis of colorectal cancer in developed and developing countries and also to look for the factors affecting the prognosis.Material and Methods: A systematic search of the peer-reviewed journals from databases at Perdana University library which includes British Medical Journal, Up To Date, The Lancet, and Pubmed was done to answer the research questions. Results: We found that developed countries were in the west having a predominantly Caucasian population. The 5-year survival of patients with colorectal cancer (2008-13) was found to be least in Poland and the highest in Australia. In the developing countries it was found to have a broad representation from different ethnicities. The 5-year survival of colorectal cancer fwas ound to be least in Ghana and highest in Turkey.Conclusion: Looking at the results, the range of prognosis among developed countries is narrower than those in developing countries. This may be due to standardized screening and treatment practice in developed countries.

Evidence on the Efficacy of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as an Adjunct Therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: Dirjayanto Valerie Josephine
Published: September 2021

Background: As the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) places a significant burden on healthcare-related costs. COPD is characterized by airflow impairment, including chronic bronchitis, small airways obstruction, and emphysema. COPD pathophysiology involves inflammation correlated with lung decline, body composition alteration, and decreased quality of life. Since preceding studies have shown its roles in inflammatory processes, omega-3 is proposed as a potential adjunct treatment in slowing down COPD progression.Aim: To analyse the efficacy of omega-3 as a potential adjunct therapy in COPD management.Method: A literature review was conducted by retrieving studies published from 2010-2020 through PubMed, EBSCOhost, Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, Clinical Key, Wiley, and Science Direct that evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation in COPD management.Outcome: The search yielded 12 studies with a total of 6,474 subjects. Outcomes suggested that omega-3 leads to a reduction in inflammation, improved body composition, enhanced exercise capacity, higher quality of life, and lower exacerbation occurrences. Association found for lung function was weak, but this might be due to the study designs. The only potential adverse effect was diarrhoea, but this is insignificant.Conclusion: To conclude, omega-3 supplementation in COPD management showed promising results, considering its efficacy in slowing down COPD progression, minimal side effects, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility. However, the incorporation of this intervention into management guidelines require more trials with larger samples to establish more substantial evidence and more in-depth understanding of its roles.

Authors: Arshad Muhammad Sameer , Siddiqui Asad Ali
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many scientists to promptly make vaccines against the disease. A large number of people who will receive the vaccines will likely be older adults, many of whom being long-term statin users. Statins, known to be immunomodulators, can interact with vaccines and alter their effects. Whether this effect is significant or not is up for debate, like in the case of the influenza vaccine. Thus, the interaction between statins and the COVID-19 vaccines should be investigated and understood, and guidelines should be written to ensure that the vaccines perform optimally.

Published: September 2021

The Learning Management System (LMS) has attained great significance in the innovative teaching-learning process at the university level during pandemics. The 21st century saw innovation in technology use and incorporation of LMS in the teaching-learning process. The major objective of the present study was to determine the teacher-learner perception towards the adaptation of the Learning Management System and to examine the adoption baseline for LMS by incorporating critical external factors in the technology acceptance model. A mixed-method research approach was used. Data was collected from 400 learners and 20 teachers. It was found that teacher’s perception of LMS is affected by a number of factors related to social influence, perceived ease of use and usefulness. In addition, factors such as actual use of the system and content qualities are also important to whether teachers embrace a system or not. The study provides some useful insights on LMS adoption and highlights how innovative tools can transform the conventional learning landscape.

The objective of the study was to examine the impact of HRIS usage and knowledge sharing behaviour on the innovation capability of banking sector employees. The study also investigated the moderating role of organizational citizenship behaviour in the effect of HRIS usage and knowledge sharing behaviour on innovation capability. Resource-Based View and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour theories are applied in this research. This study is based on a quantitative approach for data collection and the data was examined using a correlational research design. The target population of this study is based on the employees of private banks of Karachi, Pakistan. The sample size was 187 responses which were analyzed using linear regression. The results showed that human resource information system usage has a positive and significant effect on employee’s innovation capacity. Similarly, knowledge-sharing behaviour was also found positive but had an insignificant effect on employee’s innovation capacity. The results also demonstrated that organizational citizenship behaviour has a positive and significant moderated effect on the relationship of human resource information systems and employee’s innovation capacity and in the relationship between knowledge-sharing behaviour and employee’s innovation capacity. This study provides a model to management leaders and practitioners who can look into employees’ creative capabilities and leverage them. The study suggests that certain actions need to be implemented by top management to foster a positive attitude towards employees' innovation capacity through proper HRIS usage and knowledge-sharing behaviour over the span of time. Lastly, implications and avenues for future research are also suggested at the end of the paper.

The questionnaire was filled out by executive managers or executive directors of organizations as company representatives. Smart PLS was used to analyze the data. The measurement model was run to ensure validity and reliability. Moreover, the outer loadings, model fit and important statistics were assured. The structural model estimated the proposed relationships of the study. The findings of the study suggested a positive impact of all the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation on innovation while the moderation effect of environmental turbulence was found to be significant for all the relationships except innovation readiness. The study finally concluded that EO had a significant impact on innovation intensity. Based on the findings, it is recommended that SMEs should enhance entrepreneurial orientation in their respective organizations in order to intensify innovation. The practical objective of this research was to gain knowledge on entrepreneurial orientation and innovation intensity that is crucial for organizations in the contemporary business world. The study has certain implications for the development of organizations’ strategic orientation. SMEs in Pakistan have great potential and in terms of intensifying innovation in enterprises, it is important to focus on entrepreneurial orientation. Thus, SMEs have to be innovative, proactive, and ready to take risks which may ultimately help them improve their performance.
Narcissistic Leadership and Project Success in IT Industry: Moderating the role of Risk Management Technology
Authors: Ali Tahreem , Akbar Waqar , Wachani Juliyana Usman
Published: September 2021

Narcissistic leaders supersede others opinions while dealing with different projects is an area of concern because they create the risk of various projects' success. However, risk management technology can balance this leadership to mitigate the project failure risk. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of narcissistic leadership on project success with the moderating role of risk management technology. A self-administrated questionnaire measured the narcissistic leadership constructs with two dimensions (i) admiration, (ii) rivalry as antecedents, risk management technology as moderating construct, and project success with five dimensions (i) cost (ii) schedule (iii) quality (iv) performance and (v) operating environment as an outcome from 242 IT professionals working in IT firms. Using structural equation modelling, the results reveal that narcissistic admiration has a negative significance, but the narcissistic rivalry has no significant impact on project success. Therefore it suggests that narcissistic admiration associated with positive attributes such as high esteem, envy, forgiveness, etc., with an overall motivation to focus on achievements may benefit in success of the project. The results further reveal that risk management technology has no moderating role between narcissistic admiration and rivalry with project success, which suggests risk management technology is not enough to reduce the narcissism leadership to contribute to project success. Further, the results do show the positive impact of risk management technology on project success. The study is helpful for organizational development (OD) professionals, project leaders, and IT firms. The study also provides a new avenue of investigation for academic researchers to tighten up the gap in narcissistic leadership.
Survey: (Blockchain-Based Solution for COVID-19 and Smart Contract Healthcare Certification)
Authors: Sabah Noor , Sagheer Ali , Dawood Omar
Published: September 2021

The year 2020 has shown the quick spread and devastating effect of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on
the world economy, health, and human life. Combating the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial. Blockchain technology
can assist in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic by assuring safe and reliable medical supplies, accurate
identification of virus hot spots, and establishing data provenance to verify genuine personal protective equipment that
is decentralized, reliable, traceable, and transparent. A major proportion of current healthcare systems are centralized
and are short on privacy and information necessary for the detection of fraud connected to the certification by the
COVID-19 vaccine. The quick vaccination rollout and the deployment of a global vaccination campaign are crucial
and dependent on the availability of transparent and operational distribution chains, which may be audited by all
the necessary parties. Blockchain technology might also be used to assure transparent monitoring, storage, and
distribution of COVID19 vaccinations. Smart contracts are built for monitoring and tracking the proper circumstances
of vaccine distribution in comparison to safe handling of vaccine producers, informing all network peers. This study
aims to investigate the effectiveness of block chain and smart contracts in the health care system. The article presents a
model of the decentralized infrastructure of the health care system. The blockchain and intelligent contract technology
provided has shown promising results. The proposed solution is economically feasible and ensures data integrity,
security, transparency, and traceability. Future work aims to expand the functionalities of smart contracts and the
blockchain technology.

Sobre el aumento y la disminución de la fe
Authors: Jericó Bermejo Ignacio
Published: September 2021

Sobre el desarrollo de la fe, Santo Tomás de Aquino piensa que todo lo que los cristianos creen hoy estaba ya implícito en la fe de los primeros creyentes. Pero algunas cosas está más desarrolladas y mejor explicadas que al principio. Pedro de Aragón no fue un profesor en Salamanca tan famoso como sus hermanos Fr. Luis de León o Juan de Guevara pero tiene el mérito de haber publicado dos volúmenes de Comentarios a la Secunda Secundae (1584) de Santo Tomás que aquí estudiamos.
En torno al libro “Jesús”, de José Antonio Pagola
Authors: Aguirre Monasterio Rafael
Published: September 2021

El libro de José Antonio Pagola, Jesús. Una aproximación histórica, apareció en Madrid en 2007 y generó un enorme interés, a pesar de las críticas iniciales y la represión por parte de la Conferencia Episcopal Española. Este rápido interés se produjo no sólo en los círculos cristianos españoles, sino en toda América Latina. Desde entonces, han aparecido once ediciones españolas, se han vendido más de 120.000 ejemplares y ha sido traducido a once idiomas diferentes. En los EE.UU., la quinta edición ha obtenido el “Premio a la Excelencia para las publicaciones Católicas 2014”, otorgado por la Sociedad de Editores Católicos. Ahora que la tormenta se ha calmado en torno al libro, Rafael Aguirre considera que es el momento de un análisis crítico del libro, mostrando sus valores y sus limitaciones. Aprecia la intención fundamental de Pagola para que el mensaje y la vida de Jesús sean atractivos para la gente de nuestro tiempo a través de la investigación histórica, pero también analiza ciertas carencias del libro. Al mismo tiempo, Aguirre intenta extraer algunas lecciones de lo que ha sucedido con este libro. Entre otras cosas se ha puesto de manifiesto el abismo existente entre el episcopado español y el sentir mayoritario de los fieles.
Repasando Perfectae Caritatis
Authors: Marcos Martínez Tomás
Published: September 2021

La Perfectae caritatis resulta un microcosmos conciliar, reproduce en su interior el encuadre esencial del Vaticano II desde su nacimiento. Las pulsiones para la aparición y despliegue del gran sínodo se zambullen en la actualización de la Iglesia. Y el decreto pretende, como expresa su título, “la adecuada renovación de la vida religiosa”. Ambos, concilio y decreto, Iglesia y vida religiosa, destacan pues dos líneas de acción: por un lado, la refacción o el recomienzo; por otro, la adaptación o modernización. El mismo decreto explicitará esta interpretación animando a “una renovación eficaz y una recta acomodación” (PC 4). En este trabajo seguiremos su hilo conductor.
Cinco trasvases de la Doctrina de Juan de Ávila a otros catecismos
Authors: Resines Llorente Luis
Published: September 2021

La Doctrina cristiana que se canta, asignada a Juan de Ávila, es una caja de sorpresas, desde el momento en que no han dejado de aparecer trasvases parciales de lo que escribió el Apóstol de Andalucía, de los que se sirvieron otros autores. Como la obra de Juan de Ávila aparecía anónima, nadie se tomó la molestia de citar la procedencia de lo que incorporaba a su propio catecismo. Este artículo desvela cinco de esos trasvases, hasta ahora desconocidos, uno en España y cuatro en Portugal.
La fe propia de los católicos en los In Epistulam Iohannis ad Parthos Tractatus de San Agustín
Authors: Luis Vizcaíno Pío de
Published: September 2021

En sus Tractatus sobre la primera carta de san Juan, san Agustín interpreta el texto apostólico en clave de actualidad eclesial, equiparando a los disidentes de la comunidad de la carta con los cismáticos donatistas. Pero a esa equiparación se oponía el hecho de que, mientras aquellos tenían una fe cristológica diferente de la fe de la comunidad, los donatistas tenían la misma fe cristológica que los católicos. Para solventar el problema, el santo amplía el contenido de esta fe: la recta fe sobre Cristo –Cabeza– conlleva la recta fe sobre la Iglesia –su Cuerpo–. En un segundo momento, amplía el concepto de recta fe en otro sentido al unirla inseparablemente al amor eclesial. Esta es precisamente la fe propia de los católicos (“creer en”), distinta de la fe de los donatistas y otros herejes, coincidente con la de los demonios, que también creen que Cristo es Hijo de Dios (“creer que”), pero no le aman. El núcleo del estudio lo constituye la fe de los católicos con sus aspectos y efectos específicos; pero tal núcleo va precedido de otros aspectos generales de la fe, presentes en el texto agustiniano: naturaleza, rasgos, origen, dialéctica entre el creer y el entender, relación con la Escritura, y seguido de breves consideraciones sobre el daño a la fe y la falta de fe.
El Depositum Fidei en la Iglesia de Esmirna (siglos I-IV)
Authors: Saavedra Monroy Mauricio
Published: September 2021

Los diversos modelos de símbolos de fe neotestamentarios están presentes en la documentación de la Iglesia de Esmirna y son usados en contextos catequéticos, bautismales, litúrgicos, así como en contextos de persecución y controversia frente a paganos, judíos y herejes. Es particularmente importante la profesión de fe de los presbíteros de Esmirna en que se proclama la unicidad de Dios frente a las ideas gnósticas y marcionitas, a la vez que se hace la distinción entre Dios y Cristo frente a la coyuntura suscitada por Noeto y la confesión de la verdadera pasión, muerte y resurrección del Señor frente al docetismo. Esta confesión de fe, de carácter normativo, pudo ser un símbolo de fe bautismal usado por la comunidad a finales del siglo II e inicios del siglo III.
Ecclesiam suam (1964-2014)
Authors: Díez Barroso Santiago
Published: September 2021

En la Primera Parte de este Artículo nos hemos ocupado de cómo los temas de Ecclesiam suam afloraron desde el inicio de la vida del Papa Montini, siendo el resultado de su contemplación y de sus reflexiones, para constituir las líneas de fuerza de su ministerio presbiteral y episcopal. En esta Segunda Parte abordaremos cómo la carta inspira la praxis pastoral del inicio de su pontificado. Nos centraremos en la carta, en sus Discursos periconciliares y en el uso que hacen de ella los textos conciliares. Dejamos para una próxima Tercera Parte la comprobación de cómo persiste la presencia de Ecclesiam suam en la praxis pastoral de Pablo VI aquende el Concilio, qué eco ha tenido en sus sucesores y de qué modo la transfiguración ha enhebrado toda su existencia.
