Towards the Interpretation of the Latin Inscription on a Fragment of a Roman Jug from the Territory of Ancient Nauportus
Authors: Repanšek Luka
Published: February 2025

A Latin possessor inscription was discovered scratched on the bottom of a Roman potsherd (datable to the period between the Late Republic and the Julio-Claudian dynasty) recovered from the Ljubljanica river near Vrhnika. The inscription reads amianti sum curtos in Old Roman cursive. Based on paleographical characteristics, the inscription can be tentatively dated to the 1st c. AD. Several good typological parallels of possessor inscriptions consisting of a genitive of a personal name and the verb sum are found on ceramic vessels across the Roman empire. However, the type in which the object explicitly names itself is rare. The Roman cognomen Amiant(h)us is well attested, especially in Italy, so the only problematic part of the inscription is curtos. Given that the pot is damaged, it is possible that the inscription was originally longer and that curtos stood in attributive position to a word like calix/uasus/ urceus et sim. If this is not the case, however, it can only be understood as a substantivization, potentially signifying something like a ʻ(pot) sherdʼ > ʻpotʼ. In support of this, however, Latin epigraphical and literary sources are silent. An additional problem is raised by the final -os, which in the Classical period would only be justifiable after u. The attested form curtos for expected curtus could potentially be explained as a reflex of Vulgar Latin development of us to -ọs, which is sporadically attested in Pompeian graffiti, or assumed to be a letter-for-letter Latin transcription of the Ancient Greek word κύρτος ʻ(fish)trapʼ. The latter solution runs into the problem of the pot from Ljubljanica not matching what we know of ceramic pots used for fishing in terms of shape and dimensions. Given its shape, the vessel was probably a single-handled Roman lagynos. Allowing for the fact that the inscription does not terminate after  and that the  should be read as an , which indeed seems to be the lectio facilior, another possibility is to restore curios[e] ʻwith care, carefullyʼ and assume a bipartite text such as Amianti sum. Curios[e pone] vel simile.
Meditative thinking and heideggerian response to humanity’s forgetfulness of being
Authors: Borjal Resty Ruel Ventura
Published: February 2025

Human beings today are facing existential challenges precisely because the human person has forgotten to be with oneself. Humanity has challenged entities and failed to let others be in a meaningful way. Humanity has neglected to cultivate the correct relationship with the world around us and has been trapped in the many ordinary affairs, which amounts to the “forgetfulness of Being.” This paper emphasizes the existential challenges brought about by technological modernity. It will also look at the dangers, saving power, and impacts of technology on the environment within the thinking presented to us by Martin Heidegger. This paper employs the interpretive method. It determines and identifies the vital insights which are significant to the issues and concerns of the study. Also, other sources were associated with the literature in seeking to answer some questions regarding the challenges brought about by modern. This study argues in favor of the need to reflect on humanity’s appropriate attitude toward technology toward a mode of releasement that could lead to a way out from the existential crisis. This paper endorses Heidegger as an environmental thinker. Furthermore, this paper suggests engaging critically with Heidegger’s philosophy of technology and presents a kind of thinking that could be a way out from the rule of machination. Scientific thinking is calculative thinking, a kind of thinking where everything is reduced into quantification. For Heidegger, it is crucial to keep meditative thinking alive, for it brings about a world in which one feels at home.
Drawbacks associated with secondary disclosure among family members of the discordant couples: Findings from a qualitative study at a regional hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa
Authors: Lelaka Constance Matshidiso , Mavhandu-Mudzusi Azwihangwisi Hellen
Published: February 2025

This study explored the drawbacks associated with secondary disclosure among family members of discordant couples at a regional hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. This was a qualitative study utilising an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design. A purposive sampling method was used, and participants were recruited using snowball sampling. Data was collected from eight family members of HIV serodiscordant couples using one-on-one semi-structured in-depth interviews, and data was analysed thematically using the IPA framework. The findings indicated that family members of the HIV serodiscordant couples were distressed, and this led participants to show reluctance and opposition to secondary disclosure of the results of discordant couples to other family members. Drawbacks to secondary disclosure stem from being shaped by family differences, family gossip, lack of support, the stigma associated with HIV, and the HIV topics being regarded as a taboo in the family. To minimise disclosure tension and manage stress among family members of discordant couples, HIV programs should be directed at addressing stigma related issues and promote the importance and benefits of secondary disclosure counseling services among discordant couples and family members. This study contributes to our understanding of how discordant couple’s family members are negatively affected by secondary disclosure. The study can further contribute to the improvement of policies and guidelines to include discordant families in the planning and implementation of their programs to enhance, strengthen, and promote secondary disclosure, including the comprehensive services of discordant couples and their families.

Authors: Mardini Ruba Makhoula , Al Hashemi Adul Rahman
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of an educational program based on the systems theory in developing grammatical concepts among eighth grade students in Jordan. The study adopted the experimental approach with a quasi-experimental design. The study participants consisted of (66) students from the Terra Santa College (STC) of the Franciscan Fathers, Amman, who were randomly distributed into two groups: An experimental group of (32) students which was taught according to the program based on the systems theory, and another control group of (34) students which was taught according to the regular program. And in order to achieve the objectives of this study, the educational program, the teacher's guide, and the grammatical concepts test were prepared, and were subject to the validity and reliability coefficients. The grammatical concepts test was applied to both groups before and after teaching. Consequently, the results of the study showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (∝ = 0.05) attributed to the program based on the systems theory. And in the light of results obtained, the two researchers presented some recommendations, including conducting more studies on the systems theory to find out its impact on teaching Arabic language skills.

Four scales were administered to experiential avoidance, non-attachment to self, intolerance of uncertainty, and symptoms of depression. Participants completed a measure including the experiential avoidance Scale, non-attachment to self, intolerance of uncertainty Scale, and symptoms of depression. The prominent results indicated that there was a positive (direct and indirect) mediating effect of the "repression-and-denial" dimension on the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and symptoms of depression. There was a negative (indirect) mediating effect of the "repression-and-denial" dimension on the relationship between non-attachment to self and symptoms of depression. These findings underscore the potential value of targeting the dimensions of experiential avoidance, in therapeutic interventions aimed at alleviating depression symptoms and improving psychological well-being.
