The article analyses theoretically the concept of psychological safety as it is understood in psychology and presents the empirical study of students-future psychologists’ feeling of psychological safety in terms of their propensity to risk and their psychological hardiness as a prerequisite for a personal ability to resist danger. It is stated that the problem of an individual’s psychological safety in the situation of quarantine isolation and COVID-2019 pandemic is especially actual, even comes to the fore and requires thorough analysis and careful study in the context of the current objective situation in Ukraine and the world. The need for safety and protection from various threats is an individual’s fundamental need, further self-development and self-realization depend on its satisfaction; but an average person begins to realize this fact only after losing a sense of psychological safety. In scientific sources, psychological safety is more often seen as a means helping achieve / obtain something desired instead of understanding it as a goal. The interpretations of psychological safety, its structure, levels and factors supporting it presented by different scientists and its relation to informational-psychological security are analyzed. After the performed review of scientific psychological literature, the phenomenon of psychological safety was generalized as a complex, integral dynamic phenomenon; an individual’s state and feeling of being protected from external and internal threats; controllability of life events; an individual’s confidence in their ability to resist possible and existing threats; satisfaction of an individual’s basic needs and life as a whole for the further development and self-realization. We understand psychological safety as an individual’s sense of security in a safe world and a willingness to protect and restore that feeling when needed, resulting in the individual’s satisfaction with life. It is concluded that the studied students’ individual psychological hardiness with its components and the components of their sense of safety were not sufficiently developed. However, we can assume that psychological safety is more often experienced by people with developed psychological hardiness and its components: commitment to life; control over things happening in life, in particular, in stressful situations, and risk acceptance as a life challenge, as a result of which an individual can learn valuable life lessons helping them to become wiser for further self-realization.
Tolerance of 20 heirloom rice varieties at seedling stage salinity stressed and their growth in lowland coastal area

Published: March 2021

Coastal area of Bengkulu Province is home of many heirloom rice varieties and play an important role in contributing rice production in the province. However, as the climate change proceeds, a progressive sea water inundation has increased soil salinity mainly in low-lying areas and jeopardizing the sustainability of rice production in coastal regions.  The use of salt-tolerant varieties, therefore, would be a sensible solution to alleviate the adverse effect of soil salinity in respect of maintaining the crop production in the coastal areas. The objective of this study was to examine the salinity tolerance of 20 heirloom rice varieties collected from a coastal area of Bengkulu Province.  Prior to the screening process, lethal concentration 90 (LC90) was determined by assaying the seedlings of ‘Kuning Tinggi’ in a series of nutrient solution containing a different concentration of NaCl (0, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 10000 ppm). Using a regression analysis, LC90 was detected at a concentration of 3910 ppm. The screening was performed by exposing the varieties in the nutrient solution culture containing 4000 ppm NaCl and growing them on the tidal swamp. Under nutrient culture evaluation, the symptom of NaCl toxicity was scored and converted to salinity tolerance index. ‘Humbur’, ‘Kuning Tinggi’ and ‘Padang Bakung’ exhibited medium tolerant, while ‘Beram’, ‘Imperata’ and ‘Kuning’ exhibited very sensitive. Further evaluation of the tidal swamp for vegetative and generative performances signified that ‘Humbur’ and ‘Kuning Tinggi’ had medium tolerant to salinity stress
Seed-Borne Fungi Associated with Foxtail Millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.) Genotype ICERI-6
Authors: Khairani Hagia Sophia , Ardie Sintho W.
Published: March 2021

The need of functional foods that provide health benefits beyond the essential nutrient has caused foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.) potential to be developed. The foxtail millet superior development needs to be equipped by the production of pathogen-free seeds. Seed-borne pathogens have the potential to inhibit plant growth, reduce plant productivity, change the nutritional content of plants, and may cause new plant disease epidemics. This study aimed to detect and identify fungi associated with foxtail millet seeds genotype ICERI-6 from the Indonesian Cereal Research Institute, Maros which have 8 mo shelf life. Seeds surface-sterilized with NaOCl was grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated for 4 days. Detected fungal colonies were recultured on PDA medium to be characterized by morphological characteristics. The colonies were dominated by Fusarium oxysporum (52%) followed by F. verticilloides, Curvularia sp., Helminthosporium sp., Cladosporioum sp., and Rhizoctonia solani ranging from 4% to 13%. The fungal growth rate varies from 0.73 - 2.67 cm per day. Hot water treatment with temperature 52 oC for 20 min could reduce the percentage of infection by up to 64% without the reduction of seed germination. Detection of pathogens at different shelf lives and genotypes is needed as basic information to optimizing the method of controlling seed-borne pathogen in foxtail millet seeds.  Keywords: growth rate, hot water treatment, incubation, morphological characterization, shelf life.
Liquid Tobacco Smoke Concentration Test Against the Intensity of Stem Borer (Chilo saccharipagus) Attack on Sugar Cane
Authors: Roeswitawati Dyah , Nidya Nindy , Indratmi Dian , Prabowo Heri
Published: March 2021

One of the most harmful pests of sugar cane is the Chilo sacchariphagus striped stem borer because it causes a decrease in the quality and quantity of sugar cane. Scratched wounds can be a place of infection of various pathogens so that it can result in fatal losses that can cause the death of sugar cane plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentration of tobacco liquid smoke that precisely suppressed the attack of striped stem borer. The study was conducted in the Experimental Garden Sweetener and Fiber Crops Research Institute Malang in May to September 2018. The study was conducted using a randomized block design with 3 replications. The treatments consist of: concentration of tobacco liquid smoke: 10 ml / l, 8 ml / l, 6 ml / l, 4 ml / l, 2 ml / l, Diafentiuron concentration 2 ml / l (negative control), and without treatment. Spraying of liquid tobacco smoke is done every 2 weeks. The results showed that the treatment of tobacco liquid smoke concentration had no significant effect on the intensity of the striped stem borer attack, but the number of sugar cane tillers and sugar content showed a significant effect
Posterior Probabilities of Effect Sizes and Heterogeneity in Meta-Analysis: An Intuitive Approach of Dealing with Publication Bias
Authors: Augusteijn Hilde Elisabeth Maria , van Aert Robbie Cornelis Maria , van Assen Marcel A. L. M.
Published: March 2021

Publication bias remains to be a great challenge when conducting a meta-analysis. It may result in overestimated effect sizes, increased frequency of false positives, and over- or underestimation of the effect size heterogeneity parameter. A new method is introduced, Bayesian Meta-Analytic Snapshot (BMAS), which evaluates both effect size and its heterogeneity and corrects for potential publication bias. It evaluates the probability of the true effect size being zero, small, medium or large, and the probability of true heterogeneity being zero, small, medium or large. This approach, which provides an intuitive evaluation of uncertainty in the evaluation of effect size and heterogeneity, is illustrated with a real-data example, a simulation study, and a Shiny web application of BMAS.
Savaris et al (2021) erroneously interpreted their regressions
Authors: Góes Carlos
Published: March 2021

Savaris et al. (2021) aim at "verifying if staying at home had an impact on mortality rates." This short note shows that the methodology they have applied in their paper does not allow them to do so. An estimated coefficient β≈0 does not imply that there is no association between the variables in either country. Rather, their pairwise difference regressions are computing coefficients that are weighted-averages of region-specific time series regressions, such that it is possible that the association is significant in both regions but their weighted-averages are close to zero. Therefore, the results do not back up the conclusions of the paper.
COL6A1 is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that collagen type VI alpha 1 chain, COL6A1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. COL6A1 mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of COL6A1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient post-progression survival, in lymph node negative patients but not in lymph node positive patients. Modulation of COL6A1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

The Perfect Storm: A Developmental–Sociocultural Framework for the Role of Social Media in Adolescent Girls’ Body Image Concerns and Mental Health
Authors: Choukas-Bradley Sophia , Roberts Savannah Rose , Maheux Anne J. , Nesi Jacqueline
Published: March 2021

In this theoretical review paper, we provide a developmental–sociocultural framework for the role of social media (SM) in contributing to adolescent girls’ body image concerns, and in turn, depressive symptoms and disordered eating. We propose that the features of SM (e.g., idealized images of peers, quantifiable feedback) intersect with adolescent developmental factors (e.g., salience of peer relationships) and sociocultural gender socialization processes (e.g., societal over-emphasis on girls’ and women’s physical appearance) to create the “perfect storm” for exacerbating girls’ body image concerns. We argue that, ultimately, body image concerns may be a key mechanism underlying associations between adolescent girls’ SM use and mental health. In the context of proposing this framework, we provide empirical evidence for how SM may increase adolescent girls’ body image concerns through heightening their focus on: (1) other people’s physical appearance (e.g., through exposure to idealized images of peers, celebrities, and SM influencers; quantifiable indicators of approval); and (2) their own appearance (e.g., through appearance-related SM consciousness; exposure to one’s own image; encouraging over-valuing of appearance; and peer approval of photos/videos). Our framework highlights new avenues for future research on adolescent girls’ SM use and mental health, which recognize the central role of body image.
Balancing Identities: How Economic Inequality and Class Affect Work-life Balance

Published: March 2021

Work-Life Balance (WLB) is recognized as a fundamental part of people’s well-being and prioritized in European policy making. Until recently, little attention was given to the role of economic inequality in people's inferences of WLB. In Study 1, we experimentally tested and confirmed a) the effect of economic inequality on WLB, and b) the role of status anxiety in mediating this relationship. In Study 2, we provided a replication and advancement of Study 1 by manipulating socioeconomic class in addition to economic inequality. Results showed that in the inequality condition, people expected less WLB through a partial mediation of status anxiety and competitiveness. We also found that class mattered, with economic inequality mainly affecting participants in the low-class condition. In sum, economic inequality enhanced participants’ competitiveness and concern about their social status, which in turn affected WLB. This demonstrates the need for policies promoting WLB in those countries characterized by high inequality.
Peer effects in college: how peers' performance can influence students' academic outcomes
Authors: de Souza Laeticia R. , de Xavier Pinto Cristine Campos , Queiroz Bernardo L , de Oliveira e Silva Dimitri
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the existence of peer effects in academic outcomes by exploringspecificities in the student's admission process of a Brazilian federal university, which works as a naturalexperiment. Individuals who are comparable in terms of previous academic achievement end up havingclassmates with better or worse performance in college because of the assignment rule of students toclassrooms. Thus, our identification strategy for estimating peer effects on academic outcomes eliminates theendogenous self-selection into groups that would otherwise undermine the causal inference of peer effects.Overall, our findings showed that joining a class with high-ability students damages academic achievementsof the lowest-ability students at UFMG. Although male and female students are both negatively affected bybeing in the first (better) class, we found gender differences. Specifically, being at the bottom of the betterclass make females take less radical decisions compared to male students in the sense that female studentscontinue to study even though with lower performance (reduced GPA and credits earned) while male studentsseem to be more prone towards dropping out (increased number of subjects – or even University registration– cancelled and reduced attendance in classroom). We have also found other heterogeneities in peer effectsin college in terms of class shift, period of admission, area of study and parents’ education. This study is anecessary step before investigating the impact of peer quality on after-graduating decisions using the samenatural experiment. This will allow us to deepen our understanding of how peer effects can also have long-lasting impacts.
In This Together? Support for European Fiscal Integration in the COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Bremer Björn , Kuhn Theresa , Meijers Maurits , Nicoli Francesco
Published: March 2021

European fiscal integration is highly controversial and is assumed to lead to a Euroskeptic backlash among the public. Yet, in a historical decision in July 2020, European governments agreed on the ambitious recovery package ‘Next Generation EU’, establishing an unprecedented fiscal stabilization capacity to address the economic and healthcare challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. We study the mass politics of European fiscal integration in a survey experiment on public support for a European Pandemic Recovery Fund (PRF) in five European countries in 2020. We find remarkably high support for a joint European fiscal instrument, which, however, is sensitive to policy design. While cross-country differences reflect collective self-interest, citizens’ left-right orientations, their EU positions, and perceived economic risk from COVID-19 structure differences within countries.

Is the Recession a ‘Shecession’? Gender Inequality in the Employment Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany
Authors: Moehring Katja , Reifenscheid Maximiliane , Weiland Andreas
Published: March 2021

This paper evaluates gender inequality in employment risks during the first and the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. We use individual-level panel data collected weekly between 20 March and 9 July 2020, and again in January 2021, to examine the risks of short-time work, job loss and unpaid furlough, as well as having to work on-site by means of growth curve modelling. The results reveal gender inequality in employment risks and gendered use of governmental support schemes. During the early phase of the pandemic, women had a higher probability of being temporarily exempted from work, but a lower probability of being in short-time work and receiving the associated state benefits. Compared to men, women also continuously had a higher probability of working on-site rather that from home. Consequently, women’s employment during the pandemic is more polarized between job loss or working on-site with the associated infection risk. Gender inequalities are rooted in the long-term gendered dualization of the German labour market with the low-wage sector and marginal employment being female dominated. The results call for close monitoring of long-term gendered effects of the pandemic recession and an adjustment of governmental crisis measures to the requirements of the female workforce.
An Analysis of Gravitational waves
Authors: Kalvakota Vaibhav
Published: March 2021

The September 14, 2015 gravitational wave observations showed the inspiral of two black holes observed from Hanford and Livingston LIGO observatories. This detection was significant for two reasons: firstly, it coupled the result and avoided the possibility of a false alarm by 5σ , meaning that the detected “noise” was indeed from an astronomical source of gravitational waves. We will discuss the primary landscape of gravitational waves, their mathematical structure and how they can be used to predict the masses of the merger system. We will also discuss gravitational wave detector optimisations, and then we will consider the results from the detected merger GW150914. We will consider a straight-forward mathematical approach, and we will primarily be interested in the mathematical modelling of gravitational waves from General Relativity (Section 1). We will first consider a “perturbed” Minkowski metric, and then we will discuss the properties of the perturbation addition tensor. We will then discuss on the gravitational field tensor, and how it arises from the perturbation tensor. We will then talk about the gauge condition, essentially the gauge “freedom” , and then we will talk about the curvature tensor, leading eventually to the effect of gravitational waves on a ring of particles. We will consider the polarisation tensor, which maps the amplitude and polarisation details. The polarisation splits into plus polarised and cross polarised waves, which is technically the effect of a propagating gravitational wave through a ring of particles. We will then talk about the linearized Einstein Field Equations, and how the physical system of merger is encoded into the mathematical structural unity of the metric. We will then talk about the detection of these gravitational waves and how the detector can be optimised, or how the detector can be set so that any “noise” detected can fall in the error margins, and how the detector can prevent the interferometric “photon-noise” from being detected (Section 2.2). Then, we will discuss data results from the source GW150914 detection by LIGO (Section 3).

Modification of Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm to Solve the Traveling Salesman Problem
Authors: Anindya Alda Larasati , Bintoro Ketut Bayu Yogha , Permana Silvester Dian Handy
Published: March 2021

Traveling salesman problem (TSP) is an optimization problem in determining the optimal route of a number of nodes that will only be passed once with the initial node as the final destination. One method for solving TSP is the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Algorithm. ACO is inspired by ant behaviour in searching for food, where ants produce pheromones to find food sources and make a route from the colony to food that will be followed by other ants. However ACO has not been considered as the optimal method for resolving TSP. This is because ACO has several shortcomings in the computational process. Comparisons between pheromones are not yet clear, and slow computing time causes the results of ACO to be not optimal. To correct these deficiencies, modifications will be made to the ACO. Modifications are made by changing some values in the ACO, such as adjusting the number of ants by the node automatically, changing the value in the pheromone renewal, and adding value to the construction of the solution. The outcome of this research is the modification of ACO did not provide shorter computing time with a more accurate final value, thus did not provide an optimal solution. The test results in this study found that the average computation time for the last iteration of each test was 0.54 second, and for the 10 iteration computation time obtained an average of 5.54 second for four tests. The amount of memory used in four tests in this study was 440.11 mb for 10 iterations.

South German Credit Data Classification Using Random Forest Algorithm to Predict Bank Credit Receipts
Authors: Religia Yoga , Pranoto Gatot Tri , Santosa Egar Dika
Published: March 2021

Normally, most of the bank's wealth is obtained from providing credit loans so that a marketing bank must be able to reduce the risk of non-performing credit loans. The risk of providing loans can be minimized by studying patterns from existing lending data. One technique that can be used to solve this problem is to use data mining techniques. Data mining makes it possible to find hidden information from large data sets by way of classification. The Random Forest (RF) algorithm is a classification algorithm that can be used to deal with data imbalancing problems. The purpose of this study is to discuss the use of the RF algorithm for classification of South German Credit data. This research is needed because currently there is no previous research that applies the RF algorithm to classify South German Credit data specifically. Based on the tests that have been done, the optimal performance of the classification algorithm RF on South German Credit data is the comparison of training data of 85% and testing data of 15% with an accuracy of 78.33%.
Samorząd terytorialny w Polsce w świetle wyzwań polityki klimatycznej
Authors: Roguska Zofia
Published: March 2021

Achievement of climate goals adopted at the EU level requires the widest possible involvement of local government units, in particular cities responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. For over a decade, the EC has been taking steps to better manage the scale of the EU member states’ climate efforts at the local level through the use of so-called instruments of soft regulation. These actions, aimed at putting pressure on the governments of the EU member states to mobilize them to take more ambitious actions in the field of climate protection, lead to the creation of new informal instruments supporting implementation of the EU legislation. The article discusses this phenomenon on the example of the Covenant of Mayors operating since 2008.

Published: March 2021

Raw materials security is currently one of the biggest challenges for every modern statehood. Its essence, however, has not been noticed and appreciated for many years. Ensuring the state’s security, also in the area of raw materials, demands close cooperation between state authorities and local government. Moreover, it demands taking into consideration not only local interest, but also goals of the state. Nowadays, fulfilment of own tasks of the commune (e.g. tasks in the area of spatial planning and development) should include security of a state as a bigger value. Unfortunately, the practice shows that in many cases aforementioned assumption is not being implemented.

Published: March 2021

Public administration (including local government administration), acts to implement the mission assigned to it by law. This mission – mainly related social life organizing and protecting of the general interest – requires an effective decision-making process. In this area the administrative sciences use the achievements of management sciences. Using new approaches in the field of administrative sciences, the public administration uses new, non-authoritative methods rather than the authoritative ones. The main issue in this area is to search the for new methods of managing of the local affairs while paying attention to the administration’s mission.
Powiat i gmina w systemie bezpieczeństwa lokalnego – możliwości i ograniczenia
Authors: Pieprzny Stanisław
Published: March 2021

The article is an attempt to look at the current local security’s shape, its contemporary conditions, possibilities and limitations. The influence of the socio-political environment on the condition of local security is a regular phenomenon, provided that this environment creates optimal conditions for the shape of the security of local communities. Factors changing this environment are often beyond local communities that have no impact on this environment. In Polish conditions, ‘locality’ is related to the activities of local government units. Municipalities and counties are local self-government communities. These units have the greatest impact on the formation and activity of smaller formal and informal local communities. The author’s intention is to note these positive and negative conditions of local security, with an indication of the entities exerting the greatest influence on local security.
Foreign Embassies and Roman Universality in Einhard’s Life of Charlemagne
Authors: Latowsky Anne
Published: March 2021

In his Life of Charlemagne, Einhard writes, He also increased the glory of hiskingdom by winning over kings and peoples through friendly means. In this way he so completely won over Alfonso [II], the king of Galicia and Asturias, that when he sent letters or emissaries to Charles, he ordered that in Charles’ presence he was only to be referred to as his subject. By his generosity he had so inclined the Irish kings to his will, that they publicly declared that he was certainly their lord and they were his subjects and servants. Some letters they sent to [Charles] still survive and they testify to this sort of feeling toward him.
Making Substantial Connections:A Critical Appreciation of Sheila Delany
Authors: Akbari Suzanne Conklin
Published: March 2021

Centring on three of Delany's most influential publications, this article provides an overview of the way her work has both engendered debate and stimulated new research directions. "Undoing Substantial Connection" (1972) argues that the late Middle Ages witnessed the decline of "analogical thought" in literature, science, politics, and philosophy; "Mothers to Think Back Through" (1987) engages the life and work of Christine de Pizan, challenging the prevalent celebratory readings of this late medieval writer in order to pose tough questions regarding the role of the author in society; and "Geographies of Desire" (1992) explores the interrelation of gender and Orientalism in the poetry of Chaucer.
Labouring to Make the Good Wife Good in the journées chrétiennes and Le Menagier de Paris
Authors: Burger Glenn
Published: March 2021

This paper focuses on two related moments of hybridity in late medieval conduct literature concerned with the management of the conduct of the good wife's daily life. First, it examines the fusion of clerical and lay authority found in the so-called journées chrétiennes, a group of texts written by clerics to help lay people lead a contemplative life from within the married estate. Second, it considers the epistemological confusion evident in a similar attempt to navigate the interpenetration of lay and clerical experience in the opening sections of Le Menagier de Paris. It concludes that such texts make possible, through the labour of their performative reading practices, a process of textual and cultural enrichment that allows their readers to engage with the social in new ways.
Translation, Early Printing, and Gender in England, 1484-1535
Authors: Hosington Brenda M.
Published: March 2021

The introduction of printing to England at the beginning of the early modern period intersected with an ongoing interest in matters concerning the querelle des femmes. One result was the production of fourteen translations from Latin and French, twelve of medieval and two of humanist origin. Discussing all fourteen translations, this article proposes an overview of the varying ways in which translation, publishing, and gender were closely intertwined. The source texts, spanning almost four hundred years, varied in provenance, style, and genre and appealed to different audiences. The translating methods used are equally varied, but all owe something to what Sheila Delany calls "the literature of sexual politics."

Robin Hood and the Crusades:
Authors: Knight Stephen
Published: March 2021

Robin Hood riding home from crusade seems a default opening to modern Sherwood stories, especially in film. But the late medieval point of the longbow was to make him a peasant and a pedestrian, bearing a weapon deadly to the gentry, as at Agincourt. This essay examines Robin's rise into the aristocracy and onto horseback, discovering that the formation is remarkably new, related to film, and that crusading in the myth is both new and negative. Robin Hood continues to chart the history of the present.
Le Bestiaire d'amour in Lombardy
Authors: Beer Jeanette
Published: March 2021

Le Bestiaire d’amour was written in northern France by Richard de Fournival, Chancellor of Notre Dame “dame,”, in the middle of the thirteenth century. Drawing heavily on bestiary material, it was addressed to an anonymous “dame,” and for her it diverted well-known animal exempla to new purpose: a prescriptive/proscriptive analysis of profane love. Enriching that analysis are Aristotelian reminiscences and digressions. There are also flashes of misogyny, for the new love-bestiary’s didacticism is Ovidian in its complexity. While ostensibly obeying conventional codes of courtliness, it effectively demotes woman from any position of superiority because, in a hierarchy where man’s glory over the other animals is his reason, reason isthe one quality to which his lady is unresponsive. Ending with a plea for mercy from la blle dame sans merci, Richard suggests there will be neither closure nor a happy ending for Le Bestiaire man’s.
À chaque saint sa chandelle. Pour un calendrier ludique
Authors: Di Stefano Giuseppe
Published: March 2021

Le hasard, qui fait bien les choses, veut que, pendant la rédaction de ces notes, la nouvelle de la béatification de Jean Paul II est sortie dans les média. On se souviendra que, lors de ses funérailles, les fidèles avaient affiché des santo subito bien visibles. Pour élever un élu au nombre des saints, l’Église a besoin de la preuve des miracles. Le fait est que les récentes nouvelles confirment qu’un miracle a eu lieu, en France. Une « pétite soeur », qui souffrait de la maladie de Parkinson s’est adressée par la prière à Jean Paul II; la guérison s’est produite. Or, Jean Paul II souffrait justement de la maladie de Parkinson.
Beowulf as a Philosophical Poem
Authors: Clark George
Published: March 2021

Criticism has treated Beowulf as a heroic epic with some Christian colouring or as a Christian parable thinly cloaked in heroic dress to indicate the extremes of interpretation, but Beowulf can be read as a philosophical poem grappling with problems inherent in the heroic and Christian faiths. These are, first, the problem of evil troubling Christian thought and, secondly, the less frequently discussed problem of oblivion challenging the heroic world view. The poem implies, rather than states, the two philosophical problems it embodies in the narrative and in the contrasting tonalities of the hero’s three great, or mythical, combat. Orthodox Christian faith holds that one all-powerful, all-knowing, and morally perfect God created the world (in the largest sense: the universe) — which immediately raises the problem of evil. Michael Tooley acknowledges that “when one conceives of God as unlimited with respect to power, knowledge, and moral goodness, the existence of evil quickly gives rise to potentially serious arguments against the existence of God.” The hero and the poem explicitly recognize God’s power and clearly imply his uniqueness, though his perfect goodness is not explicitly asserted and sometimes seems erratic or contingent. Orthodox Christianity can hardly accept a morally ambiguous God, despite the physicist and wide-ranging intellectual Freeman J. Dyson’s belief that God is evolving towards that perfection which orthodox theology attributes to him.3 Readers cannot assume, a priori, that because the Beowulf poet flourished in the Christian era, the poem’s theodicy was completely sound.
