Comparative analysis of mercenary activities in international documents and criminal acts criminalizing warfare abroad in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Mutavdžić Ana
Published: July 2023

Mercenary activities in wars and other armed conflicts, as a social phenomenon, do not stop intriguing both in moral, legal and financial terms, from the first armed conflicts until today. Although present practically throughout the entire human history, the regulation of mercenary activities from the aspect of international law as well as national legislation was completely neglected until recently. It was only after the World War II that the first international documents were created that tried to define and identify mercenaries as a serious threat to international security. Much later, the norms of national (criminal) legislation began to treat the activities of mercenaries as criminal acts, that is, mercenaries as criminals. Accordingly, in this research work the author will try to answer several, today more than ever, current problematic issues, which are based on the harmonization, that is, the non-harmonization of the norms regulating the field of mercenary in the acts of international law and our national criminal legislation, which tried to regulate the field of mercenary work within the national framework - with amendments to the Criminal Code from 2014.

Sosyal Ağ Platformlarında Anonim Hesaplara Yönelik Yasaklamacı Yaklaşımlar Karşısında Gereklilik ve Temel Haklar Sorunu
Authors: Sönmez Yasin
Published: July 2023

Gerek ülkemizde gerekse dünyanın çeşitli ülkelerinde sosyal ağ platformlarına kaydolunurken gerçek kimlik bilgilerinin sağlanmasının zorunlu hale getirilmesi konusunda tartışmalar bulunmaktadır. Sosyal ağ platformlarında anonimliğin yasaklanması anlamına gelecek bu tür bir düzenlemenin savunucularına göre sosyal ağ platformları aracılığıyla işlenen çeşitli suçların en önemli aracı bu platformlardaki takma isimli hesaplardır. Ancak kullanıcıların çeşitli kişisel verilerini sosyal ağ platformlarına vermelerinin zorunlu kılınması suretiyle anonim hesapların yasaklanması halinde, ifade özgürlüğü ve kişisel verilerin korunması bakımından yeni sorunlar ortaya çıkacaktır.
Dolayısıyla ülkemizde ve evrensel hukuk ilkelerini benimsemiş diğer ülkelerde bugüne kadar yasaklama yoluna başvurulmamış olmasının nedeni, ifade özgürlüğü ve kişisel verilerin korunması konularında ortaya çıkan kaygılardan kaynaklanıyor olmalıdır. Ayrıca örneğin ülkemizde sosyal ağ platformları tamamen denetimsiz bir ortam olmayıp, hukuka aykırı içeriklerin içerik çıkarma ve/veya erişim engelleme gibi araçlarla önlenmesi mümkündür. Buradan hareketle, 04.05.2007 tarihli ve 5651 sayılı İnternet Ortamında Yapılan Yayınların Düzenlenmesi ve Bu Yayınlar Yoluyla İşlenen Suçlarla Mücadele Edilmesi Hakkında Kanun ile getirilen içeriğin çıkarılması ve erişimin engellenmesi araçları, bir hukuk devletinde internetin denetimi için getirilebilecek en etkili ve nihai araçlar olup, bunun ötesinde anonim hesapların yasaklanması yoluna gidilmesi anayasayla güvence altına alınan ifade özgürlüğü ilkesinin ihlali anlamına gelecektir.
Diğer yandan sosyal ağ platformlarında mutlak bir anonimlik söz konusu olmayıp, yer ve erişim sağlayıcıların sahip olduğu e-mail adresi, telefon numarası veya IP adresi gibi veriler kamu otoriteleri tarafından talep edilerek ilgili kişilere erişilmesi genel olarak mümkündür. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmanın hareket noktasını oluşturan sorular şunlardır: Türkiye gibi içeriğin çıkarılması ve erişimin engellenmesi araçlarıyla donatılmış bir hukuk sisteminde ayrıca anonim hesapların yasaklanması gerekli midir? Yasaklamanın ifade özgürlüğü ve kişisel verilerin korunması bakımından ne gibi sakıncaları olabilir?

Published: July 2023

Abstract : Conventional news television media is increasingly facing a hard challenges. The use of new media such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram are increasingly popular in the society. A number of studies in the world have shown that the use of new media continues to take on the role and function of conventional media. People are encouraged to make their own news and then broadcast it on their social media accounts. This condition makes news no longer monopolized by news television. Facing this condition, news television must improve and adapt to convergence. This study aims to find out how tvOne as one of the conventional news television faces new digital media attacks. What are the steps that tvOne has done in adapting and converging? Based on qualitative research through observation on tvOne for 5 months, supported by indepth interviews with several key informants from supervisor level to editor in chief, the results descriptively showed that tvOne as the news television has been converging since 2011. Convergence occurs in two stages, that was convergence through hardware communication technology and convergence through new media. New media convergence drives tvOne to create new content specifically for new media platforms with a new target audience that is not a terrestrial audience. The results of this study portrays that tvOne terrestrial content can be distributed into a new media platforms, but not on contrary.

Tinjauan Teologis tentang Tarian dan Manfaatnya bagi Pertumbuhan Rohani
Authors: Eunike Eunike
Published: July 2023

Dance is strongly connected to life, freedom, salvation, restoration and victory over the enemies. The Bible uses the word dance for the first time in the verse when Miriam took her tambourine and led the Israelites in a victorious dance after they had been set free from the Egyptians, who chased them into the red sea. God gave them salvation, victory, deliverance, and life. Miriam’s dance was a respond and expression of victory over the enemies (Ex. 15:20). Dance or body movement is a language of communication equal to words, music, or other expressed art. For this reason, when a dance is communicating the word of God, for certain people or in certain situations then it could be called a prophetic dance. To be a dancer is a great calling. A calling to bring back what has been taken from heaven, a calling to love God more and more, a calling to make a new covenant between men and God. Prophetic dance is a way to serve God through dance. In this way a dancer is not an artist who chooses to be served rather than to serve. But the principle is when one is appointed to be a leader, the more is his responsibility to serve his brethrens. Every movement is a body language to communicate the messages. Within the context of dance, every movement should carry a message in a way that people would understand the meaning when they see the dance.

Tarian mempunyai hubungan yang sangat kuat dengan kehidupan, kebebasan, keselamatan, pemulihan, dan kemenangan atas musuh-musuh. Alkitab menyebutkan kata tarian yang pertama di ayat tentang Miryam. Ketika dia mengambil tambourinenya dan memimpin orang Israel dalam sebuah tarian kemengangan setelah mereka dibebaskan dari orang-orang Mesir yang mengejar mereka di Laut Merah. Tuhan memberikan keselamatan, kemenangan, kebebasan, dan kehidupan. Tarian Miryam adalah respon dan ekspresi kemenangan atas musuh-musuh (Kel.15:20). Tarian atau gerakan tubuh adalah sebuah bahasa komunikasi sama seperti kata-kata, musik, atau kesenian yang dapat dilihat. Maka dari itu, ketika tarian sedang mengkomunikasikan Firman Tuhan untuk sebagian orang dan dalam situasi tertentu, inilah yang disebut profetik. Menjadi penari adalah sebuah panggilan yang sangat besar. Panggilan untuk mengembalikan apa yang pernah hilang dari Sorga, panggilan untuk mencintai Tuhan lebih dan lebih lagi, panggilan untuk membuat sebuah perjanjian yang baru antara umat manusia dengan Tuhan. Pelayanan tarian adalah cara melayani Tuhan melalui tarian. Artinya seorang penari bukanlah menjadi artis yang ingin untuk dilayani daripada melayani. Tetapi prinsip adalah semakin diangkat menjadi pemimpin, maka semakin besar tanggung jawab untuk melayani saudara-saudara. Setiap gerakan adalah bahasa tubuh yang mengkomunikasikan setiap pesan. Di dalam konteks tarian, setiap gerakan harus menyampaikan makna yang dapat dimengerti oleh orang yang melihatnya.

Published: July 2023

Eschatology is a branch of Theology, focusing on what will happen in the last days of the world and human history, studying into a season that will take place in the future, that is a reality that the history of the world and all the human beings would finally reach a consumed end. This is actually a process that is progressing toward a-by-God-appointed-end. God with all His understanding has decided and determined since eternity. Speaking of the endtimes means the hope of those who believe, because at that time the glorious coming of Christ shall be fulfilled and the established Kingdom of God will be marked with the judgment seat for the living and the dead. In the beginning of Jesus’ministry He proclaimed repentance and the Kingdom of God (Matthew 4:17). Mark explained at the start of his ministry, John was imprisoned, Jesus appeared and proclaimed the Gospel, about ther Kingdom of God. He said: “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15) The purpose of proclaiming the Gospel is for those who hear it will repent and believe in the Gospel. Jesus clearly showed there is a relevance between sharing the Gospel and eschatology.

Abstrak

Eskatologi merupakan salah satu cabang ilmu teologi yang membahas tentang peristiwa-peristiwa terakhir dalam sejarah dunia dan manusia, mempelajari tentang suatu masa yang akan terjadi dimasa yang akan datang yaitu suatu kenyataan bahwa sejarah dunia beserta dengan segenap umat manusia akhirnya akan mencapai suatu titik konsumasi . Proses ini adalah proses sejarah yang sesungguhnya yang bergerak menuju suatu akhir yang telah ditentukan Tuhan. Allah dengan keputusan kebijaksanaan-Nya telah menentukan dan diputuskan oleh Allah sejak kekal. Berbicara tentang akhir zaman berarti berbicara tentang pengharapan orang percaya, karena pada waktu itu kedatangan Kristus yang dipenuhi dengan kemuliaan-Nya dan hadirnya Kerajaan Allah yang ditandai dengan adanya penghakiman bagi orang yang hidup dan yang mati. Pada awal pelayanan Yesus, Ia memberitakan tentang pertobatan dan Kerajaan Allah (Mat 4:17). Markus menjelaskan permulaan pelayanan Yesus ketika Yohanes Pembaptis ditangkap. Yesus tampil dan memberitakan Injil Allah tentang kerajaan Allah, kata-Nya waktunya “sudah genap, Kerajaan Allah sudah dekat. Bertobatlah dan percayalah kepada Injil” (Mrk 1:14-15); Pemberitaan Injil bertujuan agar orang yang mendengar pemberitaan tersebut bertobat dan percaya kepada Injil. Yesus menunjukkan bahwa adanya relasi antara pemberitaan Injil dengan Eskatologi.
Pentingnya Apologetika Menrut 1 Petrus 3:15 bagi Penginjilan
Authors: Antonio Lucky
Published: July 2023

Apologetics as a branch of Theology is based on the main purpose that is to bring people to maturity and spread the Gospel. Reading the Bible in a holistic way, apologetics has been executed since the very beginning of the world’s existance and apologetics was started by God Himself when He answered those who opposed Him. Appologetics has continued to the first church and up to now when proofing the truth of the Christian belief during evangelisation and even as an act of counselling. The connection between apologetics and evangelisation is quite close, as apologetics try to answer the questionings of the Chritian beliefs,which could be a direct act of evangelisation. Wilbur Smit wrote “a spoken or written accountability of what we are doing or the Truth we are believing”. Wilbur Smit believes that being accountable is part of our conviction. Very fundamental as an apologetic is that he should have a deep conviction and sanctifies Christ in his life. This is a key factor, because the presuppostion here is that the Jesus Christ is Lord of the thoughts of an apologetic. The apologetic arguments should be towards the Lordship of Jesus Christ and wisdom of God and founded on the fear of the Lord. Foolishnes of unbelief is not to be exposed for apologetic is as neutral as other human activity. Any apologetic argument should have the Truth of God as the presupposition.

Abstrak

Dasar pikir inilah apologetika sebagai cabang ilmu teologia mempunyai tujuan utamanya adalah mendewasakan umat dan memberitakan Injil. Mencermati Alkitab secara holistik, aplogetika sudah diterapkan sejak keberadaan dunia dan apologetika diawali oleh TUHAN sendiri dalam memberi jawaban kepada para penentang-Nya. Kegiatan apologetika terus berlanjut sampai pada gereja awal sampai sekarang ini sebagai kegiatan menyatakan kebenaran keyakinan Kristen seperti di dalam kegiatan penginjilan bahkan sampai kepada tindakan konseling. Relasi apologetika dan penginjilan mempunyai keterikatan yang erat. Keterikatan ini tampak dari jawaban atas pertanyaan iman Kristen (apa yang diyakini) yang adalah sebuah penginjilan secara langsung. Wilbur Smit menuliskan “suatu Pertanggungjawaban lisan atau suatu uraian lisan untuk mempertanggungjawabkan apa yang kita telah lakukan atau kebenaran yang kita percayai”. Maksud Wilbur Smit adalah pertanggungjawaban adalah bagian dari apa yang diyakini. Sebuah hal yang mendasar yang harus diketahui seorang apologis adalah harus memiliki keyakinan penuh dan menguduskan Kristus di dalam hidupnya. Hal ini penting karena presuposisi Tuhan Yesus Kristus sebagai Tuhan dalam pikiran seorang apologis adalah dasar utama. Argumentasi apologis harus berpresuposisikan ke-Tuhanan Yesus Kristus dan bijaksana berdasarkan takut akan Tuhan. Kebodohan yang tidak percaya tidak dipertunjukkan, karena argumentasi apologetika tidak lebih netral dari pada aktivitas manusia yang lain. Dalam argumentasi apologetika harus berpresuposisikan kebenaran Allah.
Konsep Kehadiran Allah Berdasarkan Kitab Kejadian dan Implikasinya bagi Gereja Saat Ini

Published: July 2023

The concept of the presence of God in the midst of believers is very important, because when God is present all changes, the Book of Genesis records that before the world was created and the Spirit of God hovered in chaotic and formless world conditions. God's presence in Indonesia and especially for believers will have an impact and influence towards the better. Every believer must be a change agent and God's representative on earth, so that others can see and feel God's presence in real life. The church as an organization must also appear with all its existence for the life of the state and nation, the church must have "sensitivity" to see the surroundings, so that the church does not become an exclusive organization or a collection of saints who do nothing for their environment. AbstrakKonsep Kehadiran Allah ditengah-tengah umat percaya sangatlah penting, karena waktu Allah hadir maka semua jadi berubah, Kitab Kejadian mencatat bahwa sebelum dunia diciptakan dan Roh Allah melayang-layang keadaan dunia kacau dan belum berbentuk. Kehadiran Allah di Indonesia dan khususnya bagi umat percaya akan membawa dampak dan  pengaruh kearah yang lebih baik. Setiap umat percaya harus menjadi agen perubahan dan perwakilan Allah di bumi, supaya orang lain dapat melihat dan merasakan kehadiran Allah secara nyata. Gereja sebagai organisasi juga harus tampil dengan segala eksistensinya bagi kehidupan bernegara dan berbangsa, gereja harus punya “kepekaan” untuk melihat keadaan sekelilingnya, sehingga gereja tidak menjadi organisasi yang eksklusif atau kumpulan orang-orang suci yang tidak berbuat apa-apa bagi lingkungannya

The divine mandate given to man by God from the very beginning of creation was to rule the world (Gen. 1:27). The foundation of God’s Kingdom has already existed since its creation. After man fell into sin, there was enmity between the serpent, the women, and their respective offspring (Gen. 3:6-7). God’s promise that the serpent will be crushed pointed to the coming of the Messiah and the assurance of victory (Gen. 3:15). The divine mandate to proclaim the kingdom of God can not be hindered by anyone and needs to be known by every believer. Therefore, every believer is called to fulfill God’s plan to proclaim the kingdom of God. To find out the divine mandate for preaching God’s Kingdom, the qualitative method of literature study is used. AbstrakMandat ilahi diberikan Allah kepada manusia sejak awal penciptaan adalah menguasai dunia (Kej. 1:27). Dasar tentang kerajaan Allah juga sudah ada sejak penciptaan. Setelah manusia jatuh dalam dosa, terjadilah permusuhan antara si ular dengan perempuan, dan keturunan masing-masing (Kej. 3:6-7). Janji Allah bahwa ular itu akan diremukkan menunjuk kepada kedatangan Mesias dan jaminan kemenangan, (Kej.3:15). Mandat ilahi tentang memberitakan kerajaan Allah tidak bisa dihalangi oleh siapapun dan perlu diketahui oleh setiap orang percaya. Oleh sebab itu orang percaya terpanggil untuk menggenapi rencana Allah yaitu memberitakan kerajaan Allah. Untuk mengetahui mandat ilahi tentang memberitakan kerajaan Allah, maka dalam penulisan menggunakan metode kualitatif yaitu studi literatur atau studi pustaka.

Authors: Sondos Abu Saba
Published: July 2023

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of psychodrama strategy in developing academic skills and reducing behavioral and emotional disturbances among students with learning difficulties in the city of Hebron. The study followed a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest-posttest) to examine the effectiveness of the psychodrama strategy in developing academic skills (reading and writing) and reducing behavioral and emotional problems among students with learning difficulties in the city of Hebron. The study sample consisted of 30 male students from Al-Razi School who were purposively selected. The study relied on an academic skills scale and a behavioral and emotional problems scale. The study found an improvement in the development of academic skills and reduced behavioral and emotional problems among the students. This was clearly evident from the mean scores of the pretest and posttest tables, where the posttest tables had a higher mean score for the paragraphs than the pretest tables. This study can be considered the first experimental study (within the researcher's scope), especially in the local environment (Palestine), using a psychodrama strategy to develop academic skills and reduce behavioral and emotional problems among students with learning difficulties.

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans are used to detect and stage cancer and can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments used for patients with different types of cancer. The current study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments provided to breast cancer patients and the effect of treatment on the right and left breasts separately. A sample of (84) female left and right breast cancer patients were treated with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. The efficacy of the treatments was evaluated on 18 follow-up patients among the original sample who already underwent a PET-CT scan before starting their treatment. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by measuring the standard uptake value (SUV) of cancer lesions in patients before and after treatment.   Results showed that 32.1% of the diagnosed lesions did not change their SUV values, 39.3% were treated, 27.4% were new lesions do not present in the original PET-CT scan, and 1.2% for lesions that increased the value of the SUV. Moreover, the results also showed that left breast cancer was more responsive to treatment than right breast cancer, while chemotherapy was more effective than radiation therapy. In summary, the efficacy of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for both right and left breast cancer patients was evaluated using PET-CT technology. Only one-third of the cancerous lesions were treated using the treatment methods described in this study. The research is unique in that it is the first in Palestine to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of the treatment delivered to breast cancer patients.
Factors Influencing Female Student Participation in Student Council Elections at Palestinian Universities: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior
Authors: Lara Alomary  , Hiba AlShrouf  , Mousa Ajouz
Published: July 2023

This study aims to elucidate the variables influencing the decision of female students to run for student council elections in Palestinian universities. Adopting a quantitative approach, the investigation utilized 201 purposefully sampled questionnaires for data collection, which was subsequently analyzed using SPSS statistical software and structural equation modeling via Smart-PLS. The study revealed several critical factors that deter female students from participating in these elections. The primary deterrent was the perceived integrity of the elections, followed by the political convictions of the female students. Voter influence on the decision of female candidates and the perceived abilities of the female students as potential candidates also played moderate roles in the decision-making process. Interestingly, the impact of social and cultural structure on the decision to run could have been stronger, contrary to expectations. When viewed through the theory of planned behavior lens, the proposed study model accounted for 70% of the variation in the intentions of female students to run for student council elections. The results demonstrated that beliefs, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms had a significant statistical impact on their intention to run. Moreover, all intermediary relationships between beliefs and the intention to participate in the student council elections were statistically significant. Remarkably, the study found that approximately 31.17% of female students intended to run for the student council elections. This study’s uniqueness lies in its pioneering exploration of factors impacting female students' decision to run for student council elections in Palestinian universities, a topic seemingly overlooked in previous literature. It contributes significantly to scholarly discourse and provides valuable insights for researchers and policymakers.

El blended learning es un modelo de configuración de la enseñanza que se extiende en el nivel superior (Bartolomé Pina, García Ruiz y Aguaded, 2018; Martín García, Sánchez Gómez y Costa, 2019). Bajo la modalidad de aula invertida (Coufal, 2014; Lucena, Díaz, Rodríguez y Marín, 2019) requiere que los docentes adecúen sus prácticas. Desde el diseño del contenido hasta la evaluación de los aprendizajes, esta propuesta pedagógica implica repensar las prácticas de la enseñanza. El presente trabajo expone los resultados de una investigación que aborda las decisiones y acciones acerca del diseño, la metodología y la evaluación que se realizan en propuestas de aula invertida en el nivel superior. El procesamiento didáctico del contenido, la centralidad de la actividad del estudiante, el aprendizaje con fuertes aspectos comunicativos y la evaluación formativa se constituyen en las dimensiones fundamentales de una modalidad mixta que contribuyen a la transformación de los escenarios educativos.

Este artículo deriva del trabajo de investigación realizado en el marco del proyecto “El aula virtual y sus actores en la educación universitaria”. En él abordamos el estudio de la organización de las aulas virtuales de la Especialización en Educación Mediada por Tecnología Digital, perteneciente al Centro Universitario Regional Zona Atlántica (CURZA) de la Universidad Nacional del Comahue. El análisis se realizó r a partir de las cuatro dimensiones pedagógicas: informativa, práxica o experiencial, comunicativa, tutorial y evaluativa, propuestas por Adell y Castañeda (2009). Los resultados obtenidos constituyen una importante referencia al momento de pensar en futuras mejoras dentro de la organización de la carrera.
El uso de los recursos tecnológicos que tienen los estudiantes del Seminario de Trabajo Final de la Licenciatura en Educación
Authors: Londero Laura , Soria Sandra del Valle
Published: July 2023

El presente trabajo muestra los primeros resultados obtenidos en el proyecto de investigación “Herramientas didácticas y recursos tecnológicos que se utilizan dentro del seminario para motivar y acrecentar las competencias investigativas en los estudiantes de Trabajo Final de la Licenciatura en Educación”, realizado por docentes de la carrera en cuestión de la Universidad Siglo 21 en el 2020. Desde la perspectiva cuantitativa se realizó una encuesta a 207 estudiantes que cursaron o rindieron el Seminario de Trabajo Final. En esta primera etapa se indagó sobre los conocimientos que tienen los estudiantes sobre las tecnologías, el uso de las redes, las plataformas educativas y su valoración sobre el cursado del seminario, los contenidos, los materiales didácticos y el nivel de la carrera. Partimos del supuesto de que los estudiantes conocen las tecnologías, pero las aplican escasamente en su trayectoria profesional. Los resultados obtenidos permiten reforzar el uso de las TIC sobre todo en la elaboración de su plan de actividades y, a partir de sus relatos, identificar aquello que obstaculiza o facilita el desarrollo de sus competencias investigativas.
Ultrazvočna preiskava pri diagnosticiranju sarkopenije
Authors: Jerele Cene , Jordan Taja , Rotovnik Kozjek Nada
Published: July 2023

Sarkopenija je izguba mišične mase in funkcije, ki zmanjša kakovost življenja, povzroči fizično oslabelost in je povezana z večjo umrljivostjo. Za postavitev zgodnje diagnoze in za uspešno zdravljenje sarkopenije so potrebne varne, dostopne in natančne diagnostične metode. Ultrazvočna slikovna preiskovalna metoda se vse pogosteje uporablja za oceno mišične mase in kakovosti mišic. S pomočjo različnih ultrazvočnih parametrov lahko sklepamo o količini mišične mase kot tudi o kakovosti mišičnega tkiva. Z uporabo standardiziranih protokolov opravljanja meritev lahko dosežemo večjo natančnost in ponovljivost preiskave. Pomanjkanje jasno določenih mejnih vrednosti in nepopolna standardizacija protokolov in ponekod slaba korelacija parametrov z dejansko fizično zmogljivostjo bolnikov za zdaj še zavirajo širšo uporabo ultrazvočne preiskave v kliničnem okolju. Kljub temu z naraščujočim številom raziskav na tem področju ultrazvočna preiskava pridobiva veljavo pri vsakdanji klinični obravnavi sarkopeničnih bolnikov.
Narratology in Early Modern medical manuscripts: The Case of London, Wellcome Library, MS 213
Authors: Esteban Segura Laura
Published: July 2023

It has been argued that narrative elements can be found throughout the history of English scientific writing. Narratives can be linked to specific genres; thus, learned texts for medical doctors were different from those directed to lay audiences (Taavitsainen, 2022). This article sets out to analyse a specific type of medical narrative, that of recipe collections, focusing for the purpose on the text housed in London, Wellcome Library, MS 213. The manuscript dates from the beginning of the seventeenth century (1606, more specifically) and gathers recipes “experienced and tryed by the speciall practize of Mrs Corlyon” (Moorat, 1962-1973).[1] The codex belonged to Alethea Howard (née Talbot), Countess of Arundel. The main aim of the study is to identify and examine narrative forms and functions as well as particular features in the collection of recipes held in MS Wellcome 213, which can contribute to the knowledge of recipes written by and for women during the early modern period.

Les enjeux politiques de la présence de l’Amérique dans le Mercure galant
Authors: Martignon Maxime
Published: July 2023

Comment déterminait-on si un récit ou une nouvelle concernant l’Amérique devait trouver sa place dans le Mercure galant à l’époque de Louis XIV ? Le fonctionnement interne ordinaire du périodique privilégié demeure hélas particulièrement opaque. Dans cet article, trois lieux d’observation permettent d’apercevoir les enjeux entourant la publication de ces textes. Les pratiques d’écritures de nouvellistes proches du rédacteur Donneau de Visé, les pratiques documentaires du secrétariat d’État à la Marine et les pratiques de publication des périodiques de Hollande y sont analysées dans leurs interactions avec le Mercure. On y caractérise notamment le travail d’adaptation des scripteurs aux attentes du pouvoir ainsi que celui des « portiers » (gatekeepers) qui décident de l’opportunité de publier un texte.
Lectures comparées du Mercure galant et de la presse protestante autour des conversions religieuses
Authors: Drouin Sébastien
Published: July 2023

Après la révocation de l’édit de Nantes et l’interdiction du protestantisme en France, le Mercure galant publie un grand nombre de récits de conversions au catholicisme. La presse protestante d’expression française, basée en Hollande, lui donne la réplique. Cet article propose un survol analytique des cas de conversion religieuse ayant eu lieu au Canada tels que rapportés tant par le Mercure, que par la presse d’opposition en exil.
Construire un imaginaire diplomatique
Authors: Pioffet Marie-Christine
Published: July 2023

Cette enquête montre comment la représentation dans le Mercure galant du ballet diplomatique entre Français, Britanniques et Autochtones en Amérique du Nord souffre d’un traitement inégal des acteurs en présence. Dans le contexte de la rivalité impériale exacerbée par la guerre de Succession d’Espagne (1701-1713), les ambassadeurs britanniques s’y voient systématiquement dénigrés, tant par les commentaires des correspondants du périodique que par les propos rapportés des représentants autochtones. Sans surprise, les émissaires de la France et leurs alliés sortent grands vainqueurs de cette mise en scène tendancieuse. À l’opposé, les comptes rendus de ces négociations consignés par les administrateurs britanniques, objets de la dernière partie de l’étude, donnent un tout autre tableau de ces échanges tripartites où les sujets du Roi-Soleil sont loin de tenir le plus beau rôle.
Rôles et fonctions de la gravure dans le Mercure galant
Authors: Davis Peggy , Poirier Marie-Lise
Published: July 2023

Le succès commercial du Mercure galant et l’appui financier du Dauphin de France permettent à Jean Donneau de Visé d’investir dans la production de gravures dès 1678. Outre les pièces musicales, énigmes et autres planches de modes, on retrouve dans ce recueil périodique royaliste cinq gravures illustrant des batailles menées dans les colonies antillaises. À partir de ce corpus restreint, cet article interroge les fonctions de l’image et ses modes de pérennisation du règne et réfléchit à la place de la gravure dans le Mercure galant et sur le marché de l’imprimé parisien aux 17e et 18e siècles.
Resilience and Post-Traumatic Growth after Discriminatory Job Loss: The Case of Academics Dismissed after Turkey’s 2016 Coup
Authors: Atay Erhan , Bayraktaroglu Serkan
Published: July 2023

This study is about the impact of discriminatory job loss (DJL) on individual attitudes. It is based on interviews with 36 academics who were inequitably and involuntarily fired, and aggressively and punitively discriminated against. We extend previous research on workplace discrimination by exploring the effects of discriminatory job loss on a skilled workforce and by going beyond the job loss itself to examine coping mechanisms, resilience and post-traumatic growth. We found that gratitude, patience and optimism or pessimism about one’s future and career were leading individual factors in the ability to cope with discriminatory job loss. Such coping mechanisms, and their roles in resilience and post-traumatic growth, were described to us by academics in Turkey and abroad.

Summary

This study of DJL (discriminatory job loss) is a contribution to the literature on job loss and workplace discrimination. In particular, we aim to improve understanding of the psychological outcomes of job loss and termination while exploring their specific causes. Unlike previous studies, this one shows a hidden, unknown and veiled side of DJL, as changes in attitudes are hard to notice, or in some cases unnoticeable, until individuals act or speak out. We extend previous workplace discrimination research by exploring the effects of discriminatory job loss on skilled workers and by providing a broader perspective that includes positive aspects, such as resilience and post-traumatic growth. We found that gratitude, patience and optimism or pessimism about one’s future and career were leading determinants of the ability to cope with discriminatory job loss. Among academic victims of DJL, the ability to cope was key to resilience and strategies for post-traumatic growth.

Thus, unfair firing and punitive discrimination do not necessarily stop highly skilled workers from having hopes, expectations and plans for the future. They struggle to reduce external negative outcomes by combining resilience and PTG strategies with internal attitudes of optimism, gratitude and patience. On a practical note, workplace discrimination may be prevented through resilience and PTG strategies.
