A Longitudinal Approach to Examining the Socio-Economic Resilience of the Alento District (Italy) to Land Degradation—1950 to Present
Authors: Salvia Rosanna , Kelly Claire L. , Wilson Geoff A. , Quaranta Giovanni
Published: November 2019

Land degradation is a multifaceted phenomenon. In many mountainous and hilly areas that are marginal in terms of their economic and social sustainability, degradation is closely linked to population decline through ageing and outmigration, and to the abandonment of land, leading to a loss of community resilience. These processes acting together can produce positive feedback loops, with the consequential loss of socio-economic resilience at larger spatial scales that can ultimately lead to the disintegration of entire territories. Drawing on recent advances in defining, integrating, and operationalizing the measurement of resilience, this paper took a new approach by exploring changing resilience over an extended period in a rural region of southern Italy. The paper used both quantitative and qualitative methods to test the complex and shifting relationships between multiple domains, as an expression of spatial and temporal patterns of resilience, and examined the impact of shifting resilience on continuing degradation processes. The results suggest that the capacity of socio-ecological systems to respond sustainably to land degradation over an extended period of time is highly dependent on two critical processes: the availability and mobilization of critical factors within the five key domains noted above, and the strength of the temporal and spatial cross-scale relationships between those factors.
Compassion and Job Performance: Dual-Paths through Positive Work-Related Identity, Collective Self Esteem, and Positive Psychological Capital
Authors: Ko Sung-Hoon , Choi Yongjun
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this study is to examine the unexplored mechanisms through which employee job performance is affected by compassion experienced at work. While the relationship between compassion and job performance is relatively well established in the literature, our knowledge of the actual mechanisms underlying this relationship is still in a nascent state. In this study, we propose two paths through which increased job performance results from workplace compassion. Our empirical results, obtained through 360 full-time employees including 182 males and 178 females working in South Korea, provide support for the serial double mediation effects of positive work-related identity and collective self-esteem in the positive relationship between compassion experienced at work and job performance. In addition, the positive relationship between workplace compassion and job performance is mediated by positive psychological capital.
Application of the Gravitational Search Algorithm for Constructing Fuzzy Classifiers of Imbalanced Data
Authors: Bardamova Marina , Hodashinsky Ilya , Konev Anton , Shelupanov Alexander
Published: November 2019

The presence of imbalance in data significantly complicates the classification task, including fuzzy systems. Due to a large number of instances of bigger classes, instances of smaller classes are not recognized correctly. Therefore, additional tools for improving the quality of classification are required. The most common methods for handling imbalanced data have several disadvantages. For example, methods for generating additional instances of minority classes can worsen classification if there is a strong overlap of instances from different classes. Methods that directly modify the fuzzy classification algorithm lead to a decline in the interpretability of the model. In this paper, we study the efficiency of the gravitational search algorithm in the tasks of selecting the features and tuning the term parameters for fuzzy classifiers of imbalanced data. We consider only data with two classes and apply the algorithm based on extreme values of classes to construct models with a minimum number of rules. In addition, we propose a new quality metric based on the sum of the overall accuracy and the geometric mean with the presence of a priority coefficient between them.

Published: November 2019

In cryptography, the property of randomness in pseudo-random generators is very important to avoid any pattern in output sequences, to provide security against attacks, privacy and anonymity. In this article, the randomness of the family of sequences obtained from the generalized self-shrinking generator is analyzed. Moreover, the characteristics, generalities and relationship between the t-modified self-shrinking generator and the generalized self-shrinking generator are presented. We find that the t-modified self-shrunken sequences can be generated from a generalized self-shrinking generator. Then, an in-depth analysis of randomness focused on the generalized sequences by means of complete and powerful batteries of statistical tests and graphical tools is done, providing a useful vision of the behaviour of these sequences and proving that they are suitable to be used in cryptography.

Published: November 2019

Zika virus (ZIKV) recently emerged in the Western Hemisphere with previously unrecognized or unreported clinical presentations. Here, we identify two putative binding mechanisms of ancestral and emergent ZIKV strains featuring the envelope (E) protein residue asparagine 154 (ASN154) and viral phosphatidylserine (PS). Synthetic peptides representing the region containing ASN154 from strains PRVABC59 (Puerto Rico 2015) and MR_766 (Uganda 1947) were exposed to neuronal cells and fibroblasts to model ZIKV E protein/cell interactions and bound MDCK or Vero cells and primary neurons significantly. Peptides significantly inhibited Vero cell infectivity by ZIKV strains MR_766 and PRVABC59, indicating that this region represents a putative binding mechanism of ancestral African ZIKV strains and emergent Western Hemisphere strains. Pretreatment of ZIKV strains MR_766 and PRVABC59 with the PS-binding protein annexin V significantly inhibited replication of PRVABC59 but not MR_766, suggesting that Western hemisphere strains may additionally be capable of utilizing PS-mediated entry to infect host cells. These data indicate that the region surrounding E protein ASN154 is capable of binding fibroblasts and primary neuronal cells and that PS-mediated entry may be a secondary mechanism for infectivity utilized by Western Hemisphere strains.
IFNα and IFNγ Impede Marek’s Disease Progression
Authors: Bertzbach Luca D. , Harlin Olof , Härtle Sonja , Fehler Frank , Vychodil Tereza , Kaufer Benedikt B. , Kaspers Bernd
Published: November 2019

Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes Marek’s disease, a malignant lymphoproliferative disease of domestic chickens. While MDV vaccines protect animals from clinical disease, they do not provide sterilizing immunity and allow field strains to circulate and evolve in vaccinated flocks. Therefore, there is a need for improved vaccines and for a better understanding of innate and adaptive immune responses against MDV infections. Interferons (IFNs) play important roles in the innate immune defenses against viruses and induce upregulation of a cellular antiviral state. In this report, we quantified the potent antiviral effect of IFNα and IFNγ against MDV infections in vitro. Moreover, we demonstrate that both cytokines can delay Marek’s disease onset and progression in vivo. Additionally, blocking of endogenous IFNα using a specific monoclonal antibody, in turn, accelerated disease. In summary, our data reveal the effects of IFNα and IFNγ on MDV infection and improve our understanding of innate immune responses against this oncogenic virus.

Published: November 2019

Installation of decentralized water-treatment plants is an ideal option to supply safe drinking water for rural communities. Presently in Sri Lanka, over 3.6 million villagers face acute water-quality problems, and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) is also prevalent among this community. Most of the drinking water in these villages is unpalatable due to high hardness and salinity. As an interim measure, reverse-osmosis (RO) water-treatment plants are introduced to provide safe water. However, due to deficient electrolytes, RO-treated water tastes unpleasant to some consumers; hence, people refuse it after prolonged use. The operation, maintenance, and management of RO plants are other major problems. Aimed at providing safe drinking water to the rural sector in a cost-effective manner, in this study, we fabricated an automated drinking-water purification system based on nanofiltration (NF) membrane technology, which can remove divalent cations, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and pathogens efficiently, and monovalent ions partially, and thus keep electrolytes to some degree. Ten commercial NF membranes were tested in a laboratory, for solute and DOC removal efficiency and robustness. The DF-90 membrane showed the highest removal of DOC and hardness, and it was therefore selected, to design a pilot NF drinking-water treatment plant. The adhered DOC by the membrane can be cleaned by NaOH solution (pH = 12). The pilot NF drinking-water treatment plant has been in use since September 2018, and it shows excellent performance of removing DOC, TDS, hardness, fluoride, and pathogens in groundwater, and the permeate water of the NF plant has been well-accepted by the stakeholders of the society. The dominant genus of source water, and throughout the two processes (NF and RO), is Pseudomonas, and their difference is significant in the concentrates of the NF and RO processes.
An Experimental Study of Focusing Wave Generation with Improved Wave Amplitude Spectra
Authors: Xu Guochun , Hao Hongbin , Ma Qingwei , Gui Qinqin
Published: November 2019

We experimentally investigate the generating results of space-time focusing waves based on two new wave spectra, i.e., the quasi constant wave amplitude spectrum (QCWA) and the quasi constant wave steepness spectrum (QCWS), in which amplitude and steepness for each wave component can be adjusted with fixed wave energy. The wavemaker signal consists of a theoretical wavemaker motion signal and two different auxiliary functions at two ends of the signal. By testing a series of focusing waves in a physical wave tank, we found that with given wave energy, the QCWA spectrum can produce a focusing wave with larger crest elevation and farther focusing location from the wavemaker flap, as compared with the QCWS spectrum. However, both spectra lead to larger focusing wave crests when the wave frequency bandwidth was narrowed down and a positive correlation between the generated relative wave crest elevation and the input wave elevation parameter. The two spectra produce different focusing wave positions for the same wave frequency range. We also found that the focusing time strongly relates to the energy of the highest-frequency wave component of the wave spectrum.
Quo Vadis Smart Charging? A Literature Review and Expert Survey on Technical Potentials and User Acceptance of Smart Charging Systems
Authors: Huber Julian , Schaule Elisabeth , Jung Dominik , Weinhardt Christof
Published: November 2019

Uncontrolled charging of plug-in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) represents a challenge for the energy system. As a solution, recent studies propose smart charging to avoid grid congestion and to integrate renewable energy. While financial benefits for smart charging schemes are currently quite low, there are other objectives for smart charging. However, it is unclear for which objectives smart charging can be used most effectively and which arguments are most likely to convince end users of BEVs to use smart charging schemes. To fill this gap, we conducted a literature review of the premises and the objectives of smart charging and how they fit the end-user’s motivation to use such smart charging systems. To evaluate the results, we present findings of 16 domain experts who evaluated various statements on smart charging according to their technical correctness and their persuasiveness towards end users. The results show that experts consider those smart charging objectives as most persuasive towards end users which they consider technically correct. Moreover, cost savings and integration of renewable energies are rated highest on both scales. On the contrary, experts do not expect a positive impact of smart charging systems on battery life and rate it as not very convincing.
Correlation between High Carbohydrate Foods with Glycemic Index
Authors: Afandi Frendy Ahmad
Published: November 2019

High carbohydrate food has been perceived as a food with high glycemic index (GI). Meanwhile, the risks of diabetes are frequently associated with the GI carbohydrate based foods. Therefore, a comprehensive study based on the literature review regarding the relationship between high-carbohydrate food and the glycemic index needs to be conducted. High-carbohydrate foods can be grouped into the available carbohydrates type and non-available carbohydrates type. Food with available carbohydrates such as glucose, disaccharide, digestible oligosaccharides, and starch have positive correlation with the GI. The non-available forms of carbohydrates are hardly digested by the body, so they usually have low GI. The non-available carbohydrates foods are fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and galactooligosaccharide (GOS), raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. High-carbohydrate foods can have low GI value due to complex carbohydrates or resistant starches. The type of carbohydrate can be turned into non-available due to chemical modification, processing, or interacting with other components. This information is necessary because recently, people have high awareness in choosing carbohydrate food. Not only the amount consumed, but also its carbohydrate content, types of carbohydrates, and how they are processed are important to be observed.

Introdução: Os linfomas são um conjunto de neoplasias linfoides em que há o acúmulo de linfócitos malignos nos linfonodos, causando linfonodomegalia. Os linfomas são responsáveis por 3% a 4% dos cânceres no mundo. Estimativa mundial apontou 390 mil novos casos e 199 mil óbitos por linfoma não Hodgkin e 65 mil novos casos e 25 mil óbitos por Linfoma de Hodgkin no ano de 2012. Sendo a busca por cuidados terapêuticos e a tentativa de solucionar problemas de saúde conduzem indivíduo e familiares por caminhos compreendidos como itinerário terapêutico Objetivo: Conhecer o itinerário terapêutico de pacientes portadores de linfoma atendidos na rede pública por serviço de saúde especializado. Material e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo e descritivo com dados coletados em um hospital de referência em oncologia na Zona da Mata Mineira, no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 32 pacientes, sendo 18 do sexo masculino (56,3%), com idade entre 7 e 80 anos, caracterizados principalmente por baixos níveis de escolaridade e renda. Prevaleceu o linfoma não Hodgkin representado por 23 sujeitos (71,9%). Um total de 24 pacientes (75%) necessitou passar por três ou mais médicos até a obtenção do diagnóstico definitivo. O tempo médio entre o aparecimento dos sintomas e a realização do diagnóstico foi de 9,77 meses. A baixa renda dos pacientes contribuiu para a demora na busca ou obtenção do primeiro atendimento à saúde (p = 0,05) e consequente diagnóstico do linfoma. Conclusão: A dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de atenção à saúde e a baixa suspeita diagnóstica para a doença por parte dos profissionais possivelmente influenciaram o atraso no estabelecimento do diagnóstico.

Authors: Vieira Gláucia Cópio , Valentim Cardoso Gabriela , Aparecida Almeida Barros Ariane , Caroline Muzi Cunha Ana , Machado Delgado Ana Carolina
Published: November 2019

Introdução: Alguns instrumentos foram desenvolvidos para mensurar o medo de quedas, sendo a Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) o mais conhecido e utilizado. O teste de velocidade da marcha também tem sido bastante utilizado nesse contexto visto que permite reconhecer alterações na marcha e déficits de equilíbrio que estão intimamente ligados ao medo de cair e ao risco de quedas. Objetivo: discutir como o uso de instrumentos de avaliação simples e de baixo custo podem contribuir para verificação do medo de cair e do risco de quedas em idosos institucionalizados. Relato de Experiência: A experiência é fruto do Projeto de Ação Voluntária desenvolvido como parte do evento “EBSERH Solidária” promovido pela Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (EBSERH). O Lar de Idosos “Santa Luiza de Marillac”, beneficiado pela ação, é uma instituição de longa permanência localizada no município de Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. Durante a ação, a equipe de Fisioterapia avaliou o histórico de quedas no último ano e fatores associados e o medo de cair por meio do questionário FES-I. Foi realizado também o teste de velocidade da marcha para verificar a mobilidade dos idosos e o risco para quedas. Metade dos idosos avaliados referiu ter sofrido pelo menos uma queda no último ano. Pelos escores finais do questionário FES-I (29±8,3 pontos) foi possível perceber que os idosos mostravam-se muito preocupados com a possibilidade de cair. No teste de velocidade da marcha os idosos obtiveram escores intermediários (0,71 ± 0,23 m/s). Após as avaliações os fisioterapeutas orientaram os pacientes conforme as suas necessidades individuais e cada idoso recebeu uma cartilha com orientações específicas para prevenção de quedas. Conclusão: Ações como a mencionada neste trabalho se tornam importantes na identificação do risco de quedas em idosos institucionalizados, podendo assim contribuir para elaboração de estratégias e condutas que visem minimizar a ocorrência deste evento.

Authors: Machado Alessiana , Miranda Viana Murilo , Fonseca Colen Samia , Neftali Nogueira Silva Jesca , Lopes Devito Karina
Published: November 2019

Introdução: A pneumatização, considerada um processo fisiológico, são cavidades cheias de ar no interior dos ossos do crânio resultante de áreas de células epiteliais. Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de pneumatização na fossa articular (PFA) e da eminência articular (PEA) do osso temporal por meio de exames de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC). Material e métodos: Trezentas e noventa imagens de articulações temporomandibulares foram avaliadas por dois examinadores, devidamente calibrados, com experiência em imagens de TCFC. Nos casos em que foi detectada pneumatização, esta foi classificada de acordo com o tipo (unilocular e multilocular) e lateralidade (unilateral ou bilateral). Resultados: A PFA ou a PEA foi diagnosticada em 97 (49,74%) pacientes. Destes pacientes, 61 (31,3%) apresentaram PFA e 36 (18,5%) PEA. Em relação à lateralidade, na PFA, 36 (59%) apresentaram a condição unilateralmente e 25 (41%) bilateralmente. Dentre os pacientes com PEA, 24 (66,7%) apresentaram a condição unilateralmente e 12 (33,3%) bilateralmente. A pneumatização foi correlacionada entre os lados pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman e foi significativa para os casos multiloculares (fossa articular: rs=0,52 / p<0,0001 e eminência articular: rs=0,42 p<0,0001). Conclusão: A pneumatização da região temporomandibular é uma característica relativamente comum e, apesar de não necessitar de tratamento, a observação é fundamental para evitar complicações do tratamento ou diagnóstico errôneo na região.

Introdução: Como uma opção de tratamento ao edentulismo mandibular foi desenvolvido o conceito All-on-4®, uma técnica de ancoragem com a instalação de quatro implantes distribuídos na região anterior da mandíbula edêntula para uma reabilitação total implantossuportada. Objetivo: Neste estudo, analisamos pelo método de elementos finitos o comportamento biomecânico dos implantes e tecidos ósseos. Material e métodos: Foram utilizados 3 modelos tridimensionais computadorizados, cada um com 4 implantes hexágono externo 3,75x13mm na região interforames mentuais, os implantes anteriores mantidos na posição axial e a variação ocorreu nos implantes posteriores: grupo 1, implantes posteriores retos; grupo 2, implantes posteriores com inclinação em 17° e grupo 3, com implantes posteriores inclinados em 30°. Uma carga axial de 150N foi aplicada nos molares e de 100N nos pré-molares bilateralmente. Resultados: Após análises evidenciou-se que nos grupos 17° (13,68Mpa, 34,76Mpa e 14,36Mpa para as tensões de tração, compressão e cisalhamento respectivamente) e 30° (14,26Mpa, 23,14Mpa e 10,31Mpa para as tensões de tração, compressão e cisalhamento respectivamente) apresentaram menores picos de tensão no osso. O mesmo padrão de distribuição de tensões foi observado para os implantes, com redução quando inclinamos os implantes distais. Conclusão: Os resultados mostraram que a angulação dos implantes favoreceu a distribuição das tensões no osso e implantes, interferindo positivamente na performance biomecânica das reabilitações totais implantossuportadas em mandíbulas edêntulas, considerando que no grupo dos implantes retos os valores das tensões foram maiores.

Conclusão: A prática regular de atividade física parece melhorar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de hipertensos resistentes.
Transformations de la religion dans l'espace européen vers une religion civile européenne ?
Authors: Vincent Gilbert
Published: November 2019

Religious transformations within Europe. Towards a European secular religion ?

Is secular religion, as Rousseau thought, a form of religion distinct from Christianity ? Rousseau's conceptualism is too dependent on sociological presuppositions and narrow historical circumstances to be usable. On the contrary, analyses, such as Hume's, more heedful of the inner dynamics of religious traditions, open up new avenues for exploring the connection between religion and politics in a situation such as that of Europe in a state of flux, in which, on one hand, the great religious traditions need to define themselves mutually and, on the other, the specifically political processes cannot be apprehended outside the question of legitimation, hence of meaning.
Réflexions sur le mystère de la rédemption. Leçon donnée à l'occasion de la séance de rentrée de la Faculté le 19 octobre 1992
Authors: Mehl Roger
Published: November 2019

Reflexions on the Mystery of Redemption.

While not attempting to elaborate his own doctrine of redemption, the author has tried to bring to light the difficulties stemming from the classic doctrines on the subject ; the most important of these is that of redemption viewed as a propitiatory sacrifice whose effect is to destroy the image which Christ has given us of his Father. While maintaining the idea of sacrifice (both for Jesus and for God himself), the author detaches it from the notion of expiatory ransom. He reserves, however, a central place for the notion of substantiation.
Baptême de Jésus et baptême des premiers chrétiens
Authors: Grappe Christian
Published: November 2019

The Baptism of Jesus and the Baptism of the First Christians.

The author attempts to demonstrate that the synoptic accounts of the baptism of Jesus rely upon a tradition which makes use of a double typology , Adamic and messianic, and that they present Jesus as both the New Adam and the Messiah-King-Priest-Prophet. He then attempts to demonstrate that this interpretation of the baptism of Jesus was not without consequence in the understanding of baptism among the first Christians, who considered themselves to be dependant upon the dignity of Christ and participants of the recently instituted new Creation.

« La Parole devint chair et dressa sa tente parmi nous ». Réflexions sur la théologie du IVe Évangile
Authors: Trocmé Étienne
Published: November 2019

The Word became flesh and set up his tent among us. Reflections on the theology of the Fourth Gospel.

The fundamental paradox of christology, as it is formulated in John 1, 14, is developed throughout the Fourth Gospel in a narrative shape much more organized, and less anecdotical, than that of the Synoptics. The period of the incarnation is related in a tragic account terminating in the elevation of the Son of God on the cross, which is at the same time his return to the Father. This tragedy, however, is integrated in the divine plan for salvation, for it makes possible, firstly, the recruitment of a number of disciples charged to continue the work of the Master, and secondly the sending of the Paraclete, who will lend the testimony of the disciples universal scope and efficiency.

F. Max : A forgotten French author of the enlightenment : Francisco Xavier de Oliveira (1701-1783).

Francisco Xavier de Oliveira, a Portugese nobleman and diplomat who wrote in French to divulge his liberal ideas, was forced into exile in England where he converted to Protestantism. His numerous writings - censored by the Inquisition in Lissabon - and his conversion sufficed to have him condemned and his effigy burnt in 1761. His response, of which the main chapter, originally published in London, is included in the present article, is a vibrant plea for tolerance.

Le texte qui a reçu le sigle 4Q MMT et qui a été établi par John Strugnell à partir de six manuscrits hébraïques passe pour nous renseigner sur l'origine même de la communauté de Qoumrân. Il expose en tout cas ce qui distingue la secte de la majorité dont elle se détache : d'une part le calendrier bien connu de 364 jours, d'autre part l'interprétation rigoriste de certaines règles rituelles, où se manifeste une exigence sévère en matière de pureté qui, sur au moins deux points, rejoint ce qu'on sait du sadducéisme par les sources rabbiniques anciennes. Après l'exposé didactique des points controversés, une injonction respectueuse adressée par un porte-parole de la secte à un destinataire, détenteur certain d'une autorité religieuse, indique que la rupture n'était pas souhaitée par l'auteur.
De l'Église hors de l'Église au ciel anticipé. Sur quelques paradoxes chrysostomiens
Authors: Brottier Laurence
Published: November 2019

Jean Chrysostome, le pasteur chrétien type du IVe siècle, insiste fréquemment sur la nécessité de fréquenter l'assemblée ecclésiale. Néanmoins, une lecture attentive de ses homélies met en lumière un fil conducteur particulier de sa pensée. Il refuse d'attribuer quelque importance que ce soit à tel ou tel lieu particulier : l'Église ou même le Ciel peuvent être recréés partout où vivent les vrais spirituels. La répétition des exigences pastorales est, paradoxalement, accompagnée par une dénégation réétirée des contingences, ce qui contribue à transcender les exigences.
Loi et Évangile chez Luther et Cranach
Authors: Cottin Jérôme
Published: November 2019

Le peintre Lucas Cranach réalisa à partir de 1529 deux versions sensiblement différentes du thème luthérien de la Loi et de l'Évangile. On y a vu un reflet des divergences théologiques entre Luther et Mélanchthon. Nous proposons d'y voir plutôt le reflet de la dialectique luthérienne de la Grâce qui montre l'homme à la fois condamné et sauvé.
Le débat entre Tillich et Hartshorne
Authors: Gounelle André
Published: November 2019

Le philosophe américain du Process, Charles Hartshorne se sent proche de la critique du théisme par Tillich, mais conteste sa notion de Dieu comme être, et sa thèse du caractère symbolique du discours sur Dieu. La différence entre ces deux penseurs, parfois proches, tient au sens de la distance et de la séparation entre Dieu et l'homme plus grand chez le théologien que chez le philosophe.
Beauté et compossibilité : L'épistémiologie religieuse de Jonathan Edwards
Authors: Vetö Miklos
Published: November 2019

Le Great Awakening américain pose la question de la nouvelle lecture spirituelle de l'Ecriture. Jonathan Edwards, le plus grand théologien de l'époque explique cette compréhension renouvelée du même texte à partir de «la nouvelle idée spirituelle de Dieu» que la conversion rend perceptible. Cette nouvelle idée est «la sainte beauté de Dieu», l'attribut principal de Dieu en Jésus-Christ à partir duquel les autres attributs divers et leur ordre et connexion réciproques sont mis en lumière.

Des sciences aux Sciences religieuses. Le programme d'André-Marie Ampère (1834-1843)
Authors: Despland Michel
Published: November 2019

Michel Despland : From Science to Science of Religion. The programme of Andre-Marie Ampere (1834-143).

André-Marie Ampère, the physicist, wrote an «Essay on the Philosophy of Science» (2 vols, 1834 and 1843), where, in addition to a system of classification of the sciences, a project is offered for a «science of religion » on the model of the «noological» , i.e. human, sciences. This project is examined and situated in the context of the reflections advanced at that time by theologians on the sciences in general.
Luther est-il « protestant » ? Le sacrement chez Luther et dans la tradition luthérienne
Authors: Lienhard Marc
Published: November 2019

L'exposé aborde d'abord la perception des sacrements avant Luther, en particulier, la place de la foi. Il souligne la valorisation de la parole et de la foi dans les premiers écrits de Luther au sujet des sacrements, le thème de la communauté puis le combat contre toute conception sacrificielle de la cène. Des approches spiritualistes ont bien plus que Luther relativisé l'importance du sacrement, mettant notamment en cause la présence réelle du Christ dans les éléments et l'action de Dieu dans le baptême. Nous examinons ensuite les points charnières : le rapport de Luther au Moyen âge, l'action extérieure de Dieu par la parole et les sacrements, la particularité du sacrement par rapport à la parole, la possible réduction de la doctrine sacramentelle chez Luther. Enfin on évoque le passage de Luther au protestantisme.
Le concept de Kairos dans la théologie de Paul Tillich et dans le Nouveau Testament grec
Authors: Dôle Robert
Published: November 2019

Cet article propose une nouvelle interprétation du concept de Kairos dans la théologie de Paul Tillich. Il suggère que Tillich lui donnait exactement le même sens que celui du Nouveau Testament grec, c'est-à-dire le moment propice pour l'arrivée du Fils de l'homme. L'œuvre de Tillich offre des indications des qualités métaphysiques de ce personnage mystérieux.
Présence d'un maître livre de l'historiographie française. Un destin : Martin Luther, de Lucien Febvre
Authors: Lienhard Marc
Published: November 2019

Le célèbre ouvrage de Lucien Febvre sur Luther (1928) ne proposait pas une biographie exhaustive, mais un «jugement». Il se focalisait sur les problèmes essentiels de l'histoire de Luther. Il privilégiait la dimension proprement religieuse. Selon Febvre, Luther n'était pas le seul acteur de cette histoire. L'Allemagne s'était emparée de lui et l'avait entraîné plus loin qu'il ne l'aurait voulu initialement. Febvre se situait au-delà de la polémique ou de l'hagiographie. Insistant sur le Luther religieux, il balaie les réductionnismes en tout genre et marquera la plupart des travaux français jusqu'à nos jours. Notre étude relève cependant certaines limites de son exposé, en particulier ses affirmations concernant le subjectivisme du réformateur, le peu d'attention accordée aux années après 1525, la place trop réduite donnée à la théologie, et la réduction de Luther à sa propre religiosité.
Les radicaux du XVIe siècle et Érasme
Authors: Lienhard Marc
Published: November 2019

La présente étude évoque la diffusion des écrits érasmiens dans les milieux dissidents, l'autorité attribuée à Érasme et les réactions d'Erasme aux thèses des dissidents. Une seconde partie présente divers travaux consacrés au sujet au cours des vingt dernières années. En troisième lieu un bilan général fait apparaître qu 'il y a surtout convergence en ce qui concerne la conception de l'homme et la sotérologie. Comme Érasme les radicaux valorisent aussi la primauté de la vie par se rapport à la doctrine ainsi que la place des laïcs. Mais ils vont plus loin en se séparant des Églises.
La transcendance du regard et la mise en perspective du Tekhelet (« bleu » biblique)
Authors: Hercenberg Bernard Dov
Published: November 2019

How could a colour lead you from the perceptible to the realm of the invisible ? It is about this tension that tells us the «tekhelet» (biblical «blue»), presented by Hebraic texts as the colour of the crossing through the appearances, the memory and the divine. It is as if nature is offering, from the sea to the blue of the sky, a directional continuity and a perspective towards the ultimate. It is the History of the formation of this signification that we shall think about.
Apocalypse 20,2-4 et le millenium protestant
Authors: Backus Irena
Published: November 2019

This article studies the exegesis of Ape. 20,2-4 in five of the most influential protestant commentaries published between 1557 and 1618 : the Hundred Sermons of Henry Bullinger, the Methodus facilima by Nicolas Colladon, the Latin Apocalypsis by Françis du Jon, the Commentarius in Apocalypsin by Johannes Piscator and the Commentarius of David Pareus. All the commentators are faced with the problem of deciding whether the thousand years of Ape. 20,2-3 is the same as the thousand years of Ape. 20,4. They are also unclear about the status of the millennium and not sure whether to treat it as a historical period or a spiritual state. The variety of solutions to the problems shows how embarrassing the problem of the millennium was to orthodox protestants in the late XVIth and early XVIIth century.
La polémique païenne dans les Actes de Pilate
Authors: Levieils Xavier
Published: November 2019

Il ne nous est resté aucune trace textuelle des Actes de Pilate, ouvrage anti-chrétien du début du 4e siècle, dont la circulation a été facilitée dans la partie orientale de l'Empire par Maximin Daïa, lors de la «grande persécution» contre les Chrétiens. Il est toutefois possible d'en reconstituer le contenu polémique grâce à la confrontation des sources chrétiennes qui en font mention : le premier livre de l'Histoire ecclésiastique d'Eusèbe de Césarée, le discours apologétique de Lucien d'Antioche et les Actes de Pilate, document homonyme d'origine chrétienne. L'examen de ces textes, comparés aux écrits anti-chrétiens de la même période, nous révèle que, sous la forme d'un rapport officiel rédigé par Pilate, ces Actes dépréciaient la figure historique du Christ.
Perancangan Fuzzy Logic Model Sugeno untuk Wall Tracking pada Robot Pemadam Api
Authors: Azhar Ari , Kesuma W Kartina Diah , Subagiyo Heri
Published: November 2019

Robot pemadam api merupakan robot yang dibuat dengan tujuan memadamkan api pada daerah yang sulit untuk dijangkau manusia. Robot Pemadam Api harus memiliki kemampuan navigasi yang handal dalam menyelesaikan misinya dengan menerapkan metode yang baik. Terdapat beberapa metode navigasi pada Robot Pemadam Api, salah satunya wall tracking. Pada makalah ini dipaparkan penerapan kendali fuzzy logic untuk metode navigasi wall tracking. Dalam proses pengujian terdapat keterlambatan respon pada fuzzy logic, namun dapat diatasi dengan melakukan perhitungan fuzzy logic diluar sub program navigasinya. Dengan cara demikian robot yang menerapkan fuzzy logic untuk wall tracking mencatatkan waktu rata-rata memadamkan api dan kembali ke home sebesar 66,7 detik untuk start di lorong dan 36,5 detik untuk start di ruang 1 pada sampling jarang dan robot mencatatkan waktu 63,4 detik untuk start di lorong dan 34,9 detik untuk start di ruang 1 pada sampling rapat. Catatan waktu tersebut lebih kecil jika dibandingkan dengan robot yang tidak menerapkan fuzzy logic untuk wall tracking yang mencatatkan waktu sebesar 78,1 detik untuk start di lorong dan 44,8 detik untuk start di ruang 1.
