Authors: Repullo Daniel , Miró Òscar , Nogué Ramon , Coll-Vinent Blanca
Published: July 2024

En España la enseñanza de la medicina de urgencias y emergencias (MUE) en las universidades no está regulada. El presente estudio analiza la situación de la enseñanza de la MUE en las facultades de medicina de España. Se accedió a la página web de las 46 universidades con facultad de medicina. En caso de existencia de asignatura se contactó con los responsables. Se valoró la titularidad de la universidad y la obligatoriedad, curso, duración, número de créditos, distribución de horas, contenido del programa y tipo de evaluación de la asignatura. Además se detalló el sexo y categoría del profesorado. La MUE está presente en el 65% de las facultades, y se identificaron 33 asignaturas. La asignatura es mayoritariamente obligatoria (72,7%), cuatrimestral (87,9%), y se imparte en quito curso (57,6%). Diecinueve asignaturas son exclusivas de urgencias y 14 comparten programa con otras asignaturas. La mediana de créditos es de 5, con una relación de horas teórico-prácticas similar. Los programas de las asignaturas son muy variados, generalmente con pocas prácticas hospitalarias, y en el 75% de los casos se requiere un mínimo de asistencia y examen para superarla. Se identificaron 385 profesores: un 62,3% de son asociados, un 34,3% colaboradores, y solo hay 11 catedráticos (3%). En cuanto al sexo, las mujeres representan un 31,9% de los docentes, con un porcentaje decreciente a medida que aumenta la categoría profesional. Se concluye que la MUE se enseña en la mayoría de las facultades, pero no es universal ni uniforme, hay poca vinculación de docentes y grandes diferencias de programa y una presencia minoritaria de mujeres docentes, lo que sugiere un gran margen de mejora en el futuro

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by prolonged elevation of blood glucose levels. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) serves as a critical metric for assessing mean glycemic control in individuals with diabetes. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of diabetic control, measured by HbA1c levels, on pituitary gonadotropins (FSH and LH) in Iraqi women with Type 2 diabetes during the menopausal transition. A cross-sectional study involving one hundred diabetic menopausal women aged between 45 and 60 years was conducted from November 2023 to March 2024. Participants were categorized into groups based on HbA1c values indicating good or poor glycemic control. Data on various variables including age, height, weight, BMI, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, FSH, and LH were collected and analyzed. Our findings revealed no significant difference in LH or FSH levels among diabetic women with varying degrees of HbA1c control. Spearman's rho correlation coefficients showed weak negative correlations between HbA1c and both LH and FSH levels. These results underscore the complex interplay between glycemic control, hormonal regulation, and metabolic factors in diabetic women during the menopausal transition.

Discourse-Linked DPs as Covert Partitives
Authors: Falco Michelangelo , Zamparelli Roberto
Published: July 2024

The paper studies the conditions that determine the Discourse-Linked or non-Discourse-Linked status of noun-less Determiner Phrases introduced by different determiners, in Italian and in English. For instance, given the sentence Ten bombs exploded yesterday, the continuation [Three] were cluster bombs tends to have a meaning equivalent to 'three of the bombs that exploded’ (D-Linked), while [Three] will explode today is understood as 'three (different) bombs’ (non D-Linked). Beside world-knowledge, the syntax of the determiners and their position with respect to the verb affect the availability of DL/non-DL readings. This and other facts undermine an analysis cast purely in terms of semantic domain restrictions, and suggest that DL readings are due to the presence of a covert partitive structure. While perhaps intuitive, this idea faces various issues in Italian, due to its interactions with the syntax of the pro-form ne. We show that an NP-based structure for numeral and proportion-based partitives (three/half of the bombs) is actually compatible with the facts, and offers a cue on the nature of sub-DP pro-forms and their uses.
Stratégies rhétorico-argumentatives fallacieuses et biais cognitifs dans le discours de propagande
Authors: Munteanu Marius Octavian
Published: July 2024

Cet article révèle les structures intimes des discours de propagande au moyen d’une analyse alliant des concepts dérivés de l’argumentation, de la rhétorique et de la communication politique. Il met à nu leurs traits discursifs mobilisés pour accroître l’adhésion des foules, en distinguant la communication politique de la propagande, l’argumentation par conviction de l’argumentation par la persuasion. Comment les stratégies rhétorico-argumentatives contribuent-elles à la construction de discours étalant leur « vérité » ou leur « réalité », construisant des mondes alternatifs présentés comme les vrais mondes ? L’analyse déployée sur le discours de la sénatrice roumaine Diana Șoșoacă relatif aux séismes survenus en Turquie en février 2023 procure des éléments de réponse. Feignant l’argumentation rationnelle reposant sur des arguments factuels, la propagandiste fait appel aux émotions primaires de son auditoire pour changer sa forma mentis.
Le conte transhumaniste de Nick Bostrom: du débat idéologique de la communication argumentative à la communication narrative
Authors: Alloun Mohamed Sami
Published: July 2024

Cet article étudie la communication transhumaniste à travers l’analyse de La fable du Dragon-Tyran de Nick Bostrom. Philosophe du posthumain, l’auteur recourt au texte littéraire pour illustrer le débat idéologique qui oppose, d’un côté, un fort enthousiasme pour le progrès technoscientifique et, de l’autre côté, la crainte liée à la fois à la perte de contrôle de l’humain sur ses créations et à la disparition des repères éthiques conventionnels. Reprenant en partie le modèle de construction utopique, l’auteur clive et réduit au vertueux l’avènement du posthumain. L’analyse ici proposée est celle de la mise en récit de la rhétorique transhumaniste développée par Bostrom et de l’idéalisation de son projet intellectuel. La lecture des scènes principales de sa Fable met en exergue les leviers de la stratégie narrative de l’auteur ainsi que les enjeux moraux et sociaux d’une évacuation potentielle d’une partie de la condition humaine : sénescence, mortalité.

Published: July 2024

O fenômeno do suicídio entre os jovens tem se destacado como uma questão de crescente importância no contexto contemporâneo e poucos estudos abordam as nuances e desafios enfrentados pelos profissionais de saúde ao lidar com o comportamento suicida entre adolescentes. Sendo assim o presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar, com base na literatura científica, o atendimento do profissional de saúde em casos de suicídio em adolescentes na atenção primária no contexto brasileiro. Dessa maneira, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, SciELO e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde – BVS incluindo estudos publicados entre 2019 e 2023. Do total de estudos levantados (n=76), 18 estudos integraram a revisão. Dos dezoito trabalhos inclusos, 7 foram realizados nas Regiões Sudeste, 3 na Região Centro – Oeste e 4 no Nordeste e Sul.  Quanto ao público-alvo dos estudos também foi identificado que a maioria (8) foi realizado com profissionais de saúde, 3 com enfermeiros e/ou técnicos de enfermagem, 3 com médicos e somente um com terapeutas ocupacionais. Os principais resultados apresentados pelos estudos encontrados consideram a necessidade de uma formação profissional continuada para atendimento em casos de suicídio na adolescência. Além disso, também foi possível identificar em 4 documentos que as questões afetivas, tais como empatia e medo dificultam à aproximação do profissional de saúde ao atendimento do paciente com comportamento suicida. Com base nos estudos identificados pode-se concluir que existe uma necessidade de capacitação continuada aos profissionais de saúde, assim como uma equipe muldisciplinar para um melhor atendimento de adolescentes com comportamento suicida.

Published: July 2024

Water erosion is strongly influenced by slope length (Sl), among other factors. The objective of this work was to quantify the water losses (WL) and soil losses (SL) in different Sl, in a Haplic Distrudept. These losses were determined during one year in uncultivated and uncovered soil (BS) and then in soil cultivated in the form of no-tillage (NT) during three cropping cycles, under natural rainfall conditions. The treatments, with one repetition, consisted of the Sl of 11 m, 22 m, 33 m, and 44 m with 8% slope. In the 1st cycle, black oat (Avena strigosa) + forage radish (Raphanus sativus) + common vetch (Vicia sativa) was cultivated, in the 2nd cycle, single black bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and in the 3rd cycle, single black oat. With the increase of Sl in the interval from 11 to 44 m, the WL and SL increased, and the SL increased with the increase of the WL. WL and SL were explained by Sl in 79% and 99%, respectively, and SL were explained in 76% by WL. The y = a + bx model was fitted to the data (p<0.01). Soil crop for one year in the form of NT reduced WL by 30% and SL by 99% compared to the losses that occurred in the condition in which the soil was under BS. The WL varied less than the SL, in the range from 11 to 44 m of slope.

Effect of Irrigation Water Salinity, Sowing Techniques and Mulching on Physio-Biochemical Traits of Fodder Sorghum
Authors: Prajapat Kailash , RK Yadav  , Ashwani Kumar
Published: July 2024

A lysimetric experiment comprising irrigation water salinity, sowing techniques and mulching was conducted to evaluate the physico-biochemical and quality traits of fodder sorghum. Results revealed that dry matter accumulation (DMA) and green fodder yield (GFY) in the fodder part of sorghum reduced significantly by 20.24% and 8.9%, respectively with the irrigation water salinity of 6.0 dSm-1 as compared to good quality water irrigation. Fodder sorghum grown on two row raised beds recorded significantly highest DMA and GFY. Among physiological traits membrane injury (MI, %), total soluble carbohydrates (TSC), proline content and lipid peroxidation (LPO) increased with saline water irrigation while relative water content decreased significantly. Application of 5 t ha-1 residues as mulch showed beneficial effects by lowering the values of MI, TSC, proline and LPO. The values of proline and LPO were significantly lower under two row raided bed sowing at 20 DAS, whereas, ridge and furrow planted sorghum showed lowest values at 60 DAS. Fodder sorghum grown under best available water, two row raided bed sowing and residue mulching showed highest crude protein. Fibre of acid and neutral detergent portion in fodder significantly reduced under mulched plots as compared to non-mulched plots.

Published: July 2024

Understanding the spatial variability in soil fertility is crucial for effective site-specific nutrient management. A soil survey was conducted across 95 villages in the Guhla block of the Kaithal district to create an inventory of soil fertility. Total 190 samples were collected using GPS and analysed for their chemical properties and maps were prepared using GIS. The results revealed that the soils were neutral to alkaline in nature, non-saline, low to high in OC and their soil texture was sandy loam, loam and loamy sand. Bulk density ranged from 1.43-1.59 Mg m-3 with a mean value of 1.51 Mg m-3. Most of the soil samples were found to be deficient in N, with only 7 sample were found under medium category, however for available P, 31 samples were low, 140 medium, and 19 high. While for available K, 12 samples were low, 139 medium, and 39 high. Most of the samples were high for available S (92%). The nutrient index for available nitrogen was low. The nutrient indices for organic carbon, P and K were medium, while the nutrient index for S was high. The DTPA extractable Zn, Fe, Cu and Mn content in soil ranged from 0.28-5.98, 0.9-18.40, 0.16-2.98 and 1.10-7 mg kg-1, with mean value of 1.96, 7.66, 1.23 and 3.45 mg kg-1, respectively.
Variation among Eucalyptus Species for Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical Traits under Simulated salt stress conditions
Authors: Kholi Asani Anis , Dhillon Gurvinder Pal Singh , Singh Baljit
Published: July 2024

The investigation was conducted on five-month-old seedlings of Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. pellita, E. tereticornis and E. citriodora in earthen pots. Four levels of NaCl concentration i.e., 0, 40, 80 and 120 mM were applied through irrigation to these Eucalyptus species arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) in three replications. Significant differences among the species were found for morphological (plant height, collar diameter, root length and total plant length), physiological (relative water content, electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll and carotenoid content) and biochemical (proline, sugar and reducing sugar content) parameters. E. camaldulensis registered the highest average values (height 160.07 cm and collar diameter 10.65 mm) for morphological traits whereas the lowest average values (height 100.04 cm and collar diameter 6.82 mm) were in case of E. citriodora. Increase in salinity level ultimately led to significant decrease in all the traits indicating a reverse trend between these traits and salinity treatments. Significant reduction in total chlorophyll, carotenoids and relative water content was observed with increase in salinity level. Electrolytes leakage increased as the salinity increased indicating the damage caused by salt stress. Salinity stress raised the content of osmoprotectants such as proline, total soluble sugar and reducing sugar. E. camaldulensis was the most tolerant species which performed better than other species even at the highest salinity level and the salinity tolerance of species varied as E. camaldulensis > E. pellita > E. tereticornis > E. citriodora. These findings indicate more research into morphological, physiological and biochemical understanding of Eucalyptus species for salt tolerance mechanism.

Evaluation of Ground Serpentinite Rock as a Magnesium Source for Oil Palm Nursery Seedlings
Authors: MATHEWS J , NG J Y , SIEW S P , AZIZAH M J
Published: July 2024

Three magnesium (Mg) sources viz. ground serpentinite rock (GSR), ground magnesium limestone (GML) and water-soluble Epsom salt were tested at 30 g equivalent of magnesium oxide (MgO) on oil palm seedlings in the main nursery. The fertilisers were split applied on the soil surface in four rounds over seven months. Leaf 3 sampled in the fourth, sixth and eighth months after transplanting showed that the oil palms applied with the three Mg sources had significantly higher Mg status than the control (no Mg). Among the three Mg sources, oil palms fertilised with GSR and Epsom salt had significantly higher Mg status than GML and control treatment. The present study indicate that GSR could be an alternative fertiliser to GML and Epsom salt. It could be used as a source of Mg fertiliser for soil surface application of oil palm seedlings grown in polybags in the nursery Keywords: Ground serpentinite rock, ground magnesium limestone, Epsom salt, oil palm seedlings, magnesium fertilisers, surface application

Variação linguística na sala de aula: o reconhecimento e valorização da variação linguística para promoção de uma educação inclusiva
Authors: Anjos Junior Celso dos , Villela Wellington Pereira
Published: July 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir como a variação linguística dos alunos pode ser reconhecida e valorizada pela escola, visando promover uma educação inclusiva e não discriminatória. Para isso, foram abordados três temas principais: a importância da educação inclusiva na sala de aula, as variações linguísticas no contexto educacional, e o reconhecimento da variação linguística para a promoção da inclusão. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica realizada em livros e artigos científicos disponíveis na base de dados do Google Acadêmico, foi possível constatar que a valorização da variação linguística dos alunos pode contribuir para uma educação mais inclusiva e equitativa. Isso porque reconhecer e valorizar as diferentes formas de falar dos alunos ajuda a combater a discriminação linguística, promove a valorização da diversidade cultural e melhora o desempenho acadêmico dos alunos. Conclui-se, portanto, que é fundamental que a escola reconheça e valorize a variação linguística dos alunos, para que possa promover uma educação inclusiva e não discriminatória. Isso pode ser feito por meio de práticas pedagógicas que valorizem a diversidade cultural e linguística, além de proporcionar oportunidades para que os alunos expressem suas diferentes formas de falar, sem julgamentos ou preconceitos.
Challenges in the manufacture, storage, distribution and regulation of traditional and novel vaccines
Authors: Sia Chong Hock , Pheh Adelia , Sachdeva Vimal , Lai Wah Chan
Published: July 2024

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant surge in interest of COVID-19 vaccines in particular, and other traditional vaccines in general. This strong interest is expected to continue as the industry strives to manufacture safer and more efficacious vaccines against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases. Vaccines are a unique class of products, being biologicals that are administered to healthy individuals to prevent diseases. The equitable distribution and availability of safe, efficacious and good quality vaccines are of utmost importance in preventing and controlling infections and safeguarding public health. The continued existence of poor-quality vaccines suggests a lack of control of manufacturing, storage, distribution, and possibly, their associated regulation. Nonetheless, all these situations – whether positive or negative, present opportunities for improvements. As regulatory authorities step up efforts in regulating existing traditional vaccines, advancements in vaccine research and development churn out novel vaccines that pose further manufacturing and regulatory challenges. This manuscript provides an overview of vaccines, both traditional and novel, and strives to identify challenges in the manufacture, storage, distribution, handling and their associated regulation. It also evaluates whether current regulatory frameworks are adequate, and where applicable, recommends areas for improvements. International harmonization and convergence of national regulatory framework with the view to facilitate quicker approval of safe, efficacious and good quality vaccines, that are accessible and affordable to patients worldwide, are also explored.

Pored rekonstrukcije prirodne okoline, ekonomskih i socijalnih odnosa u praistorijskim zajednicama, jedno od značajnih zadataka praistorijske arheologije predstavlja i vrednovanje količine stanovništva. Dok se modeli socijalne klasifikacije, na primjer, zasnivaju na razlikama u veličini grupe, modeli priliva i odliva stanovništva zahtijevaju realnu predstavu o demografskom porastu. Intenzitet kulturnih kontakata, takođe, zavisi od demografskih faktora, budući da se prenošenje odgovarajućih sistema simbola vrlo često odvija posredstvom egzogamnih bračnih veza.
Sljemenasti poklopci iz Bihaćkog polja
Authors: Raunig Branka
Published: July 2024

Među grobne ili nadgrobne objekte ubrajaju se i tzv. sljemenasti poklopci izrađeni od kamena (većinom domaći krečnjak -bihacit) u obliku kvadratne ili pravougaone ploče, a kao što im samo ime kaže, sredinom gornje površine ide uzdužno "sljeme” koje dočarava izgled krova na dvije vode, uslijed čega su čeona i zadnja strana manje-više izduženo trougaonog ili petougaonog oblika. Kod jednog broja sljemenastih poklopaca na čeonoj strani nalazi se latinski nadgrobni natpis s manje ili više podataka o pokojniku, a ponekad i neki ornamenti. Za pojedine primjerke ovih objekata, uslijed znatnih oštećenja, nije sasvim sigurno da li su prvobitno bili izrađeni u ovom karakterističnom obliku ili su mogli imati oblik grubo obrađene deblje ploče.

Authors: Bhattacharjee Swarupa , Boruah Sanchita , Biswas S. P.
Published: July 2024

The present study explores the wetlands of Assam, emphasizing their substantial livelihood potential and the various management issues they face. Assam's wetlands, characterized by a diverse array of aquatic ecosystems, provide crucial services which includes the purification of water, flood regulation, and also provides for the habitat for a variety of flora and fauna. These wetlands also underpin the livelihoods of local communities, offering resources for fishing, agriculture, and tourism. Through a combination of field surveys, remote sensing data, socio-economic assessments and also various available literature this research identifies key livelihood activities supported by these wetlands and quantifies their economic benefits. The study reveals that wetlands contribute significantly to the local economy, particularly through fisheries and agriculture, which sustain thousands of households. Additionally, emerging sectors such as eco-tourism have shown potential for future economic opportunities. However, the sustainability of these benefits is threatened by several management challenges. Encroachment, pollution, and unsustainable extraction of resources are prevalent issues exacerbated by inadequate policy frameworks and enforcement mechanisms. The study also highlights the impact of climate change, which is altering hydrological patterns and affecting wetland health. The research underscores the need for integrated wetland management strategies that balance ecological preservation with socio-economic development. Recommendations include the implementation of community-based management approaches, strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, and promoting awareness and education programs.

Silkworms (Bombyx mori) have been crucial to silk production for millennia, primarily due to their ability to produce high-quality silk fibers. Recent advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering have significantly enhanced both silk yield and quality. Traditional breeding methods initially focused on selecting desirable traits like increased yield, improved silk quality, disease resistance, and faster growth. Transgenic silkworms, incorporating genes from other species such as spiders, produce silk with unique properties, including higher tensile strength. New technologies provide comprehensive insights. Future advancements in CRISPR technology, synthetic biology, gene drive systems, AI, and machine learning promise even greater precision and efficiency in genetic modifications. Emerging fields like nanotechnology and epigenetics offer innovative approaches to further enhance silk properties and production methods. The long-term vision for silkworm genetic improvement includes sustainable silk production, integration with various industries, global market leadership, and biodiversity preservation. These advancements aim to position genetic research as a key driver of economic growth and technological innovation in the silk industry, ensuring the production of superior and sustainable silk.

Role of Proactive and Reactive CSR in Consumer Purchase Intention: Moderation of Word of Mouth on Social Media
Authors: Khan Muhammad Ibrahim , Pervez Sidra , Khan Muhammad Naeem
Published: July 2024

The corporate social responsibility means caring for the society; firms are investing in different projects and social activities to get the attention of the common people. There are two categories of CSR; the first one is Proactive CSR and the other one is Reactive CSR. The firms follow either proactive CSR or reactive CSR the ultimate goal is to position itself as a society-caring company. This research explains the relation between the PCSR and RCSR (as the independent variable) with the Consumer Purchase Intention (dependent variable) and the moderation effect of word of mouth. The variables are continuous therefore Likert scale is used to collect data and analyses were done on SPSS software. Proactive CSR has higher correlation with consumer purchase intention as compared to Reactive CSR. When Word of mouth is used as moderator through the moderation process and adds word of mouth with Proactive CSR or Reactive CSR their relation and impact are higher than as individually (PCSR & RCSR). Several companies are doing different CSR activities in our society but if they use PCSR with WOM it has a good impact on Consumer purchase intention. This leads to a Consumer Buying attitude. Another implementation of this study is if a company is suffering in a social issue they may adopt the RCSR strategy with WOM creating with their stake holder the result will be positive and effective as the result of this study shows.

The Author in Criticism
Authors: Baldi Elio Attilio
Published: July 2024

The Author in Criticism:Italo Calvino’s Authorial Image in Italy, the United States, and the United Kingdom explores the cultural and historic patterns and differences in the critical readings of Italian author Italo Calvino’s works in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Italy. It considers the external factors that contribute to create recognizable patterns in the readings of Calvino’s texts in different contexts. This volume therefore covers, most notably, matters of genre (science fiction, postmodernism), cultural perceptions and conventions, the (re)current image of the author in different media, academic schools, -curricula and -canons, biographical information (such as gender and background), and translation and the language in which the author speaks (or fails to speak) to us. It traces the influence of these aspects in the academic discourse on Calvino. The Author in Criticism also analyzes Calvino’s various professional roles as writer, editor, essayist, journalist, private correspondent, and public, cosmopolitan intellectual, reappraising their often little acknowledged importance for academic criticism. An important underlying idea is that the preconceived image that every critic has of Calvino before even opening one of his books is often solidified and repeated even in the most refined and complex critical analyses. This volume purposefully foregrounds the textual and non-textual parts that are usually considered peripheral to the works of an author, such as book covers, blurbs, reviews, talks, interviews, etc. In this way, this book provides insight into the reception of Calvino’s works in different countries. Moreover, it forms a broader reflection of and on important constants in the workings of literary criticism, and on the way academic discourses have developed in various cultural contexts over the last decades.
How Non-Being Haunts Being
Authors: Anton Corey
Published: July 2024

How Non-being Haunts Being reveals how the human world is not reducible to “what is.” Human life is an open expanse of “what was” and “what will be,” “what might be” and “what should be.” It is a world of desires, dreams, fictions, historical figures, planned events, spatial and temporal distances, in a word, absent presences and present absences.

Corey Anton draws upon and integrates thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Henri Bergson, Kenneth Burke, Terrence Deacon, Lynn Margulis, R. D. Laing, Gregory Bateson, Douglas Harding, and E. M. Cioran. He discloses the moral possibilities liberated through death acceptance by showing how living beings, who are of space not merely in it, are fundamentally on loan to themselves.

A heady multidisciplinary work, How Non-being Haunts Being explores how absence, incompleteness, and negation saturate life, language, thought, and culture. It details how meaning and moral agency depend upon forms of non-being, and it argues that death acceptance in no way inevitably slides into nihilism. Thoroughgoing death acceptance, in fact, opens opportunities for deeper levels of self-understanding and for greater compassion regarding our common fate. Sure to provoke thought and to stimulate much conversation, it offers countless insights into the human condition.
Archaeology, Copper, and Complexity in the Middle Atlantic Region
Authors: Lattanzi Gregory Denis
Published: July 2024

For the prehistoric people of the Middle Atlantic region, copper held a fascination higher than rank, achievement, or status. Native copper artifacts, along with other exotic objects, were seen as a conduit or connection between the living and the dead and were used in burial. Other studies have viewed the use of such artifacts in burials as indicative of an individual’s status and rank, providing evidence for complex society. In Archaeology, Copper, and Complexity, Gregory Denis Lattanzi contends that such economic explanations should be rethought, arguing that the presence of highly exotic artifacts like copper beads and gorgets could be representative of the different mechanisms at play within prehistoric ideology, ceremonialism, and ritual.
Indigenous and Christian Perspectives in Dialogue
Authors: Jorgenson Allen  G.
Published: July 2024

In Indigenous and Christian Perspectives in Dialogue, Allen G. Jorgenson asks what Christian theologians might learn from Indigenous spiritualties and worldviews. Jorgenson argues that theology in North America has been captive to colonial conceits and has lost sight of key resources in a post-Christendom context. The volume is especially concerned with the loss of a sense of place, evident in theologies written without attention to context. Using a comparative theology methodology, wherein more than one faith tradition is engaged in dialogical exploration, Jorgenson uses insights from Indigenous understandings of place to illumine forgotten or obstructed themes in Christianity. In this constructive theological project, “kairotic” places are named as those that are kenotic, harmonic, poetic and especially enlightening at the margins, where we meet the religious other.
Telling Animals
Authors: Spencer Jasmine
Published: July 2024

In Telling Animals, Jasmine Spencer offers a comparative yet personal approach to Dene/Athabaskan stories, both Northern and Southern. It examines the animating effects of animal stories, the transformative power of animacies in Dene stories, and the effects of narrative revitalization through animal grammar. It takes as its first premise the teachings of many Elders, who have shared that the stories are alive. Jasmine Spencer's comparative approach combines literary, linguistic, anthropological, and philosophical theories and methods using a deictic framework for closely reading the stories in both their Dene languages and in English translation. The narrative epistemologies enacted by Dene stories counterbalance many of the ethical problems inherent within Euro-Western approaches to ontology and experience. These stories revive those who listen and read, offering hope.
Whitehead's Radically Temporalist Metaphysics
Authors: Allan George
Published: July 2024

In Whitehead's Radically Temporalist Metaphysics: Recovering the Seriousness of Time, George Allan argues that Whitehead’s introduction of God into his process metaphysics renders his metaphysics incoherent. This notion of God, who is the reason for both stability and progressive change in the world and who is both the infinite source of novel possibilities and the everlasting repository for the finite values, inserts into a reality that is supposedly composed solely of finite entities an entity both infinite and everlasting. By eliminating this notion of God, Allan draws on the temporalist foundation of Whitehead’s views to recover a metaphysics that takes time seriously. By turning to Whitehead’s later writings, Allan shows how this interpretation is developed into an expanded version of the radically temporalist hypothesis, emphasizing the power of finite entities, individually and collectively, to create, sustain, and enhance the dynamic world of which we are a creative part.
