Latent Clericalization of State–Religion Relations in Belarus: Forms and Prospects
Authors:   Putilin Belgorod Law Institute of Ministry of the Interior of Russia, Dolin Vyacheslav A.
Published: April 2022

“Religious renaissance” in post-industrial society leads to the clericalization of state–religion relations as an expansion of influence of one or several religious associations. Along with explicit clericalization, there is latent clericalization, which is the result of the action of public life events and processes that are neutral in relation to religion’s position in the state. The purpose of this article was to identify the forms of latent clericalization and to understand its prospects in the context of the development of state–religion relations in Belarus. The research is relevant due to the territorial and cultural proximity of this country to Russia. The paper identifies three forms of latent clericalization in Belarus: involvement of traditional denominations in countering destructive non-traditional cults on the basis of the religiously neutral concept of spiritual security; inclusion in Belarus’ Constitution of the religiously neutral concept of “spiritual heritage” and filling the latter with clerical content in the pertinent law; gradual expansion of influence of the Orthodox Church by increasing the number of theologists in the sphere of education. To assess the prospects for latent clericalization, three scenarios of the development of state–religion relations in Belarus are considered: smooth clericalization, inertia of secularity, and avalanche-like clericalization. The scenario of smooth clericalization is based on the mechanisms of latent clericalization and can provide a gradual transition to the concordat model. The scenario of inertia of secularity is characterized by preservation of the secular society; transition to the concordat model within its framework is impossible. The scenario of avalanche-like clericalization provides a rapid transition to the concordat model as a result of abrupt changes in the socio-economic or political situation. The author ranged these scenarios in descending order in terms of probability of their implementation in Belarus: inertia of secularity – smooth clericalization – avalanche-like clericalization. The peculiarities of the dynamics of religiosity among the population and ethno-confessional relations in Belarus give grounds for predicting low efficiency of latent clericalization and low probability of transition to the concordat model in the immediate future.

In present times, the primary goal of all the companies is to increase the sales of the products they offer by satisfying the customer. The worst scenario a company can face is losing their customers only because they were not able to provide proper services to the customers. Frequently experiencing back orders is one of the inconveniences that can make the customers switch their loyalties to other companies. A back order is an order which can’t be fulfilled at the given time due to lack of supply or the product is currently out of stock but can assure us that the delivery of the goods or services requested will be made by a certain date in the future because the production of goods or restoring the inventory is in progress. Backorders not only affect the customer count of a company but also its production planning, transportation management, logistics management and financial management. Back order prediction is a machine learning based solution that we present to avoid the backorders

There is a great saying that is “Health is the most valuable Wealth”,this is because people may have great ideas, money and many things but everything can be done only when our health supports us. The main motto of our project is “Prevention is always better than the cure”.In this project we use the technology for early detection of heart diseases. These days whole world people are dying because of the hear diseases and even in many cases these are sudden deaths, So in this project we design a machine learning model which can predict the heart diseases. This machine learning model predicts whether a person can have a heart disease or not based on the information or the symptom the person enters into the system. Here we are using the machine learning algorithms like the Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN algorithms for precise prediction of the result. Every project is incomplete without a proper interface to the entire model so for the user interface here we are using the Tkinter Interface. For the training purpose we are using a predefined dataset which we get it from the kaggle website. So in this way we construct our entire model.
Human and robot: technologization vs. humanization of noonomy
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Porokhovskiy А.А.
Published: April 2022

The role of a man at various stages of the formation and development of capitalism is considered. It is shown how hired labor gradually turned from a factor of production into human capital and became a decisive element in the creation of new digital technologies. At the same time, there has been a significant change in the role and place of man in the economy and society. Noonomy can no longer rely solely on the private interest of capital, because technological fetishism has begun to threaten the very existence of a man. Artificial intelligence as a robot and in other forms claims to replace a man in many areas. Only a man himself is capable of transforming technologization into a modern support of humanization under the conditions of noonomy.

Published: April 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışmada 5 yıllık süre içerisinde gerçekleşen omuz distosisi vakalarının mevcut risk faktörlerini, vakaların yönetimini ve perinatal sonuçlarını inceleyerek bir tersiyer merkez verisi sunmak hedeflenmiştir.

Gereçler ve yöntem: 2013-2018 yılları arası vajinal doğum yapan 44522 hasta arasından, doğumunda omuz distosi yaşanan 479 hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Vakalara doğum dosyalarında mevcut bulunan “omuz distosisi olan bebeklerde izlem formu” kullanılarak retrospektif olarak ulaşılmıştır. Sosyodemografik özelliklerin yanısıra ultrasonografik özellikler , doğuma dair özellikler, distosi yönetiminde uygulanan yaklaşımlarla birlikte bebeklerin doğum sonrası özellikleri ve sekel durumları 2 yıllık ortopedik takipleriyle birlikte değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 28.17, SAT’a göre gebelik haftası ortalaması 38.29 hafta, gravida ortalaması 2.34’tür. Kliniğimizin 5 yıllık değerlendirmesinde omuz distosisi oranı %1,07 olarak bulunmuştur. Vakaların %5.1’inde maternal komplikasyon görülmüş olup, %14.6’sında brakiyal pleksus hasarı bulunmakta, %9.6’sının klavikula kırığı bulunmakta, %1.3’ünün sekeli ise bulunmaktadır. Mc Robert’s + Suprapubik bası manevrası uygulananların %33’ünde brakiyal pleksus hasarı izlendiği ve arka omuz doğrultulması, Mc Robert’s ve Rubin manevralarında ise klaviküla kırığı görülme oranı diğerlerinden yüksek olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

Sonuç: Doğum öncesi tecrübeli obstetrisyenler tarafından yapılan sonografik ölçümler de maternal ve neonatal morbiditeler açısından fikir vericidir. Ayrıca omuz distosisiyle karşılaşılan vakalarda manevralar uygulanırken en güvenli manevraların seçilip doğru şekilde uygulanması maternal ve fetal komplikasyon oranlarını en aza indirmeye katkı sağlayabilir.

An All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) is a comprehensive inventory of all species in a given territory. In 2007 the French Parc national du Mercantour and the Italian Parco Naturale Alpi Marittime started the first and most ambitious ATBI in Europe with more than 350 specialists and dozens of technicians and data managers involved.

The ATBI datasets from the Parc national du Mercantour in France are now publicly available. Between 2007 and 2020, 247 674 occurrences were recorded, checked and published in the INPN information system. All this information is available in open access in the GBIF web site. With 12 640 species registered, the ATBI is the most important inventory in France. This data paper provides an overview of main results and its contribution to the french National Inventory of Natural Heritage. It includes a list of 52 taxa new to science and 53 species new to France discovered thanks to the ATBI.
Morphological description of Laevicaulis stuhlmanni (Simroth, 1895) (Pulmonata, Veronicellidae) from Egypt
Authors: Mohamed Reham , Robinson David , Liberto Fabio
Published: April 2022

Terrestrial slugs are becoming abundant quarantine pests attacking many agricultural and horticultural crops as well as ornamental plants in Egyptian fields resulting in increasing loss of the commercial value and decreasing the economic quality .

Recently, a number of quarantine-significant terrestrial slugs have been recorded in Egyptian ornamental plant nurseries and gardens such as Deroceras reticulatum (O.F. Müller, 1774, Deroceras laeve (O.F. Müller, 1774) (Agriolimacidae), Limacus flavus (Linnaeus, 1758), Ambigolimax valentianus (d’A. de Férussac, 1821) (Limacidae) and Laevicaulis alte (d’A. de Férussac, 1821).

This paper provides a detailed morphological and anatomical description of the veronicellid slug Laevicaulis stuhlmanni (Simroth, 1895) that has been recently recorded from Egypt. This population from Egypt is compared with Laevicaulis striatus recently reported and described from Libya and with available data in literature. Some notes and a distribution map of the veronicellids introduced in Northeastern Africa are provided.
A critical review on cytogenetics of Cucurbitaceae with updates on Indian taxa
Authors: Bhowmick Biplab Kumar , Jha Sumita
Published: April 2022

The cytogenetic relationships in the species of Cucurbitaceae are becoming immensely important to answer questions pertaining to genome evolution. Here, a simplified and updated data resource on cytogenetics of Cucurbitaceae is presented on the basis of foundational parameters (basic, zygotic and gametic chromosome numbers, ploidy, genome size, karyotype) and molecular cytogenetics. We have revised and collated our own findings on seven agriculturally important Indian cucurbit species in a comparative account with the globally published reports. Chromosome count (of around 19% species) shows nearly three-fold differences while genome size (of nearly 5% species) shows 5.84-fold differences across the species. There is no significant correlation between chromosome numbers and nuclear genome sizes. The possible trend of evolution is discussed here based on molecular cytogenetics data, especially the types and distribution of nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). The review supersedes the scopes of general chromosome databases and invites scopes for continuous updates. The offline resource serves as an exclusive toolkit for research and breeding communities across the globe and also opens scope for future establishment of web-database on Cucurbitaceae cytogenetics.
La « mauvaise humeur » des domestiques : s’exprimer pour affirmer son individualité ?
Authors: Beal Margot
Published: April 2022

L’article s’intéresse à la manière dont les domestiques des xix e  et xx e  siècles expriment leur « mauvaise humeur » en France métropolitaine. Après avoir montré que le patronat domestique attend une norme de comportement verbal et non verbal de « bonne humeur », il explore les conditions dans lesquelles les domestiques hommes et femmes, dans les villes et dans le milieu rural, s’affranchissent parfois de cette norme de comportement. Il s’agit de mettre en avant l’ Eigensinn  (Alf Lüdtke), c’est-à-dire le « sens de soi », pratiqué par des membres des classes populaires au travail, dans un contexte de domesticité où les marges de manœuvre sont particulièrement réduites.
L’origine en exil : langage, vérité et traduction chez Benjamin et Heidegger
Authors: Ruin Hans
Published: April 2022

L’essai aborde la question de l’origine du langage, telle qu’elle s’articule dès l’époque de Rousseau et Herder, à travers une comparaison entre les théories de Heidegger et de Benjamin de l’origine du sens dans une sphère prélinguistique. Elle s’oppose à la conception commune selon laquelle les deux penseurs représentent deux trajectoires philosophiques très différentes. Au lieu de cela, il insiste sur les nombreuses correspondances entre eux, à la fois historiques, personnelles et thématiques, notamment à travers leur intérêt commun pour les écrits énigmatiques de Hamann. Une question centrale est de savoir si les significations communiquées par la langue peuvent être séparées de son expression linguistique.
Le musée imaginaire de Walter Benjamin
Authors: Cuartas Pablo
Published: April 2022

Walter Benjamin s’est donné la mort en 1940, à Portbou, en Espagne. Peu avant la mort volontaire, il s’était adonné à la mémoire volontaire, c’est-à-dire au méticuleux exercice de réminiscence que l’on voit apparaître dans les pages de Sens unique et Enfance berlinoise . Or ce n’est pas un effort mémoriel comme les autres : à l’instar de Proust, l’un de ses auteurs phares, l’entreprise de Walter Benjamin consiste à bien des égards à vivre – et à faire vivre – par l’écriture une expérience matérielle de la mémoire.
Well-posedness of a hydrodynamic phase-field system for functionalized membrane-fluid interaction
Authors: Wu Hao , Yang Yuchen
Published: April 2022

We study a hydrodynamic phase-field system modeling the deformation of functionalized membranes in incompressible viscous fluids. The governing PDE system consists of the Navier–Stokes equations coupled with a convective sixth-order Cahn–Hilliard type equation driven by the functionalized Cahn–Hilliard free energy, which describes the phase separation process in mixtures with an amphiphilic structure. In the three dimensional case, we prove existence of global weak solutions provided that the initial total energy is finite. Then we establish uniqueness of weak solutions under suitable regularity assumptions that are only imposed on the velocity field or its gradient. Next, we prove existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions for arbitrary regular initial data and derive some blow-up criteria. Finally, we show the eventual regularity of global weak solutions for large time. The results are obtained in a general setting with variable fluid viscosity and diffusion mobility.

Published: April 2022

This study explores the innovative approach of integrating multimedia storytelling with mind maps to enhance reading comprehension for students with learning disabilities (LD). We developed the proposed mobile application and applied it to 36 students with LD at grade 4-6 in Bangkok, Thailand. Students were selected using a simple random sampling technique. They were formally identified as having learning disabilities with a reading- related disability. The experiment compared students’ reading comprehension scores from two experimental groups and one control group. The three groups practiced their Thai reading comprehension through the same Thai litera-ture, but with three different learning methods. The first experimental group used the proposed application including multimedia storytelling with mind maps. The second group used only multimedia storytelling while the control group learned through teacher reads the stories and hand-drawn mind map-ping. The findings clearly proved that the proposed approach accommodated learner’s weaknesses and built upon their strengths in reading comprehension skills.

Published: April 2022

To effectively enhance college students’ English Reading, Listening, and Speaking (RLS) ability, it is important to explore the teaching contents, teaching methods, and the factors affecting the development of college students’ English RLS ability. The existing literature has not clearly defined college students’ English RLS ability, or selected a proper method to evaluate the ability scientifically. To solve the problems, this paper tries to evaluate college students’ English RLS ability based on situational teaching. Firstly, the authors analyzed the teaching idea of college students’ English RLS courses, and established an evaluation index system (EIS) for their RLS ability. After examining the evaluation method, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) was optimized by genetic algorithm, and used to construct an evaluation model for college students’ English RLS ability. The feasibility of the model was demonstrated through experiments.
Automated Cheating Detection based on Video Surveillance in the Examination Classes

Published: April 2022

A major issue in the field of education is exam malpractice and other forms of academic dishonesty, where efforts made towards the assessment of students are undercut. In order to address this menace, a cheating detection system has been proposed in this study. The system can detect cheating in real-time. The proposed system uses video surveillance to monitor the activities of the student during exams, especially abnormal behavior. The development of the system involved the use of three different techniques, with different functions. The first technique helps in determining the direction of the students’ heads when they move from their initial direction, which is the exam script. Some form of cheating involves students peeping at the exam scripts of other people writing the same exam. Whenever the system observes a deviation that exceeds the set threshold, it classifies the behavior as abnormal. The second technique works with the movement of the student’s iris. It detects when a student’s iris moves in a different direction to copy answers from written documents like mobile phones, books, hands, summary papers. The third technique is used in identifying the contact between a student’s hands and face, as well as that between different students for shared abnormal behavior detection between students, such as sharing of incriminating materials. When any of these is detected, an automatic alarm alerts the authority about the abnormal behavior that has been detected, thereby minimizing the error rate that can occur as a result of manual monitoring.

Published: April 2022

Nowadays, many people prefer to purchase through online websites. Usually, those people start with reading user reviews and comments before making a purchase decision. The user reviews are considered powerful sources of information about products, in which users share opinions and previous experiences on using these products. However, these reviews are mostly textual and uncategorized. Thus, new customers need to read a massive amount of reviews, one by one, to make a decision. This study attempts to bridge this gap and proposes a hybrid approach of topic modeling that combines supervised and unsupervised learning. In particular, the study collected a massive amount of Amazon user reviews, analyzed the reviews' texts, and combined two approaches of topic modeling, which are unsupervised and supervised learning, i.e., semi-supervised learning. Besides, the study makes classification on reviews based on sentiment analysis. The resulting reviews' topics and their sentiment classifications are displayed on a visual dashboard. The proposed hybrid approach showed better performance in terms of text analysis and clearer representation of review topics. The outcome of this study helps customers make their decision on purchase products in a more effortless and clearer way.
Légitimité démocratique et autorité en temps de Corona : L’allocution à la nation d’Angela Merkel (18 mars 2020)
Authors: Siess Jürgen , Amossy Ruth
Published: April 2022

Cet article se propose d’étudier les procédures discursives et argumentatives qui construisent la légitimité et l’autorité de la Chancelière Angela Merkel dans sa première allocution télévisée sur la Covid-19. Instaurant une distinction nécessaire en ces deux notions corrélées et souvent confondues, l’analyse dégage une rhétorique globale du coronavirus : mise en scène de la légitimité institutionnelle renforcée par l’unité des gouvernants (un « nous » englobant), construction d’autorité par le recours à l’argument d’autorité épistémique (les experts), justification des mesures anti-Covid par des arguments pragmatiques ou par l’exemple, construction d’un ethos qui assure une crédibilité. En même temps, l’analyse dévoile des procédés propres aux situations d’urgence : mise en valeur d’un consensus politique absolu, et illusoire, aux dépens d’une délibération démocratique ouverte ; réduction de la parole scientifique à une parole d’experts susceptible de fournir des certitudes aux décisionnaires, transformés en gestionnaires ; déplacement des valeurs démocratiques du plan de l’action vers le plan du discours ; demande au public d’accepter de son plein gré des mesures d’ores et déjà édictées. Enfin, l’article souligne les spécificités de la parole de Merkel en cette occasion : le métadiscours qui aborde de front le rapport à la démocratie, mais aussi à l’argumentation, l’insistance sur les valeurs humaines considérées comme supérieures aux valeurs démocratiques enfreintes, la posture de proximité censée contribuer à la légitimation morale et à renforcer l’autorité de la Chancelière. La dimension éthique du discours est d’autant plus saillante qu’elle s’appuie fortement sur des arguments pragmatiques. Une autre caractéristique est la présentation de soi singulière d’Angela Merkel : aveu de sa propre fragilité, image de femme sensible qui unit la raison et le sentiment, appui sur une éthique fortement imprégnée d’affectivité qui lui donne un accent très humain et qui en appelle à « l’action solidaire » plus qu’à l’obéissance.
Stratégies rhétoriques de légitimité et d’autorité en temps de Covid-19: Le cas de la PM belge Wilmès
Authors: Kornblit Irit
Published: April 2022

Nous analysons les discours de la Première Ministre belge Sophie Wilmès au cours du mois de mars 2020, au début de la crise sanitaire du Coronavirus, ainsi que sa couverture médiatique. Nous examinons par quels moyens rhétoriques la PM construit son autorité et la légitimité des mesures sanitaires imposées au public, en prenant en compte le contexte particulier de la culture politique belge. Wilmès construit un ethos collectif d’unité au niveau fédéral et expert, établit un lien d’empathie avec la population et appelle à la solidarité. Elle évite le pathos et la métaphore de guerre, utilise des arguments rationnels et construit un auditoire hétérogène.
Constructing political legitimacy and authority in discourse
Authors: Amossy Ruth
Published: April 2022

This article examines the construction of political legitimacy and authority in the discourses of democratic leaders by attempting to distinguish between two often confused notions, and to identify the discursive and argumentative procedures that put them in place. It takes stock of a body of work devoted to the subject and proposes an original approach that emphasizes the centrality of argumentation in the process of legitimation and the construction of a leader’s authority. Using the example of the first speeches of the heads of state at the time of the Covid-19 crisis, it proposes an analytical framework that can account for discursive and argumentative operations and their socio-political stakes in context.
Rhetorical strategies of legitimacy and authority in times of Covid-19: The case of Belgian PM Wilmès
Authors: Kornblit Irit
Published: April 2022

We analyze Belgian PM Sophie Wilmès’ first three speeches related to the Covid-19 restrictions in March 2020 as well as their press coverage. The rhetorical strategies deployed to foster authority and legitimacy in times of crisis are examined in the context of Belgium’s political culture of pragmatic realism in the face of a divided federal polity. Wilmès constructs a united collective ethos by displaying a shared authority at the federal and decision-making level, expressing empathy with the population, and appealing to solidarity. She avoids pathos and the war metaphor, uses rational arguments, and constructs a complex audience.
The Effect of Pictures on Online Business English Vocabulary Retention of EFL Learners Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zhang Kexin , Wang Wei , Xu Hongmei
Published: April 2022

Students can find numerous online resources and platforms for English vocabulary learning during COVID-19. However, most online vocabulary recollection research was concerned with general vocabulary retention, particularly the impact of pictures on general vocabulary memorization. Little is known about business English vocabulary and the relationship between them and pictorial annotations. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of pictures on students' retention of business English vocabulary presented online and employed the two-way mixed design ANOVA to analyze the data. The findings revealed that while images did not improve online recollection of word form, they contributed to meaning retention in both the immediate and delayed post-tests. Furthermore, there was a significant change in recollecting word meaning across different presentation modes over time, although the change was not significant in word form retention. Future studies should investigate multiple parts of speech of business English vocabulary and the effects of individual differences on the results.

Arms race in the 21st century: Consequences and mitigating measures
Authors: Na’inna Abdulmajid M. , Anti-Dwanso Vladmir
Published: April 2022

Historically, arms races generate a great deal of interest both in the academia and policy circles for a variety of reasons. They are widely believed to have significant consequences for states' security. In the debate over their consequences, one side holds that arms races increase the probability of war by undermining military stability and straining political relations. The opposing view holds that engaging in an arms race is often a state's best option for avoiding war when faced with an aggressive adversary. The 21st Century is witnessing the return of arms race amongst states. Coupling with the advancements in technology, the menace of arms race in the 21st Century, therefore, if not curtailed could lead to war more devastating than witnessed in the last century. Using basic content analysis the study revealed that the 21st Century arms races are mainly in the area of nuclear weapons, hypersonic missiles, missile defence, cyber-warfare, and space weaponisation. The arms races are prominently amongst the world‟s great powers such as the United States of America, Russia, and China as well as developing states like Iran and North Korea. This study discovered that nuclear weapons are still at the forefront of arms race in the 21st Century, despite efforts to reduce their role in global affairs and to negotiate further reductions in quantity. Also, states like the USA, China, and Russia are exploiting the advantage of speed and manoeuvrability to engage in arms race in hypersonic missiles. This has prompted nations to compete in the development of missile defences in order to counter the present missile threats. Furthermore, in anticipation for future warfare, nations such as the USA, China, and Russia are in arms race to weapon sise space by deploying space to space, earth to space and space to earth weapons,  where appropriate. War in the 21st Century could in turn lead to more human, material, and environmental casualties due to the latest advancement in technologies and modernisation of existing weapons and associated equipments. Consequently, measures are needed to ensure that arms races in the 21st Century, if not eliminated, are reduced to the barest minimum in order to promote international peace and security. Renewed commitments on existing arms control measures, formulation of new arms control measures, and the complete elimination of nuclear weapons are the measures that could be considered.
Sawdust as a filtering media in sludge drying beds
Authors: Ssazipius Gava Job , Miiro Maiteki James , Muzoora David , Kpange Sylvia , Babu Mohammed
Published: April 2022

Conventional wastewater treatment is a common method of domestic wastewater treatment in Sub Saharan Africa. Lubigi wastewater treatment plant (LSTP) in Kampala – Uganda is a unique wastewater treatment system combining treatment of on-site faecal sludge and domestic wastewater. High solids content of on-site faecal sludge mean large volumes of the same, thus limited sludge drying space. This means need to optimize sludge drying bed use (improving the sludge drying efficiency) by reducing their drying times. This study investigated use of wood sawdust as a filtering layer in the faecal sludge drying process. Comparison of performance between sand, fine and coarse sawdust as a filtering media was conducted at LSTP. Sludge shrinkage depth (cm) and moisture content (%) were key parameters used to analyze and determine the most ideal media for sludge dewatering. The study was conducted during both wet and dry seasons to determine the impact of seasonal changes. Dry season results showed a drastic decrease in the sludge depth (shrinkage) for all the three media types after a period of 8 days followed by a gradual decrease in sludge depth up to 28 days. This implies that effective dewatering happens for the first 8 days, which goes on for the rest of the remaining days. Overall, the best performing media was fine sawdust, coarse sawdust and lastly sand. Independent two sample t-tests assuming equal variances show that there is a significant difference between the mean sludge depth of sand and fine sawdust t(df) = 56, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mean sludge shrinkage depth of fine sawdust and coarse sawdust. Similar results were obtained during the wet season. Comparisons of similar media types during the dry and wet seasons shows that the mean sludge shrinkage for the dry season were significantly lower than that of the wet season (P<0.05). This implies that seasonal changes significantly affect the sludge dewatering. In terms of moisture content (MC), the results for dry season showed that fresh fine and fresh coarse wood sawdust achieved MC of 28% and 31% respectively after 28 days. Sand produced faecal sludge with a higher MC of 49% after 28 days. Similar results of the performance of the three types of media was observed during the wet season. In conclusion, fine sawdust performs better than coarse sawdust and sand media in faecal sludge dewatering. Sludge dewatering is affected by seasonal changes.

Jennifer Peedom's Mountain as a City Symphony
Authors: Lehmann Benita
Published: April 2022

This article explores Jennifer Peedom’s film Mountain (2017) through the lens of the city symphony in view of structural, aesthetic, and thematic parallels between mountain and city symphony films. Analyzing Mountain in the generic context of the city symphony film draws attention to the deep structural links between urban centers and mountains, and their shared technological and urban infrastructures. This appraoch also harnesses the potential of film studies to revise dominant perceptions of mountains and can help viewers understand mountains as places of density and as dense networks that are developed by technological infrastructure and informed by dense technological, social, and cultural networks. By drawing on media ecology, actor-network theory, and media archeology, I will show that, similar to city symphonies, Mountain explores collective networks beyond the human realm to shed light on mountains as cultural spaces, geological manifestations, and eco-social realities. In so doing, Mountain tries to help humans to come to terms with the deep temporalities of alpine spaces and their technological mediations.

The findings of this socio-historical research are that the explanation of Primitive Communism Hermeneutics has three first stages, primitive communalism or primitive communism called primitive society, the basic needs of life that depend on nature, primitive communism is in people who live by hunting with simple forms of agriculture, or herding animals. , the state of private property has not arisen, and there is not even a class division. People live in harmony and equality. Even as primitive communism, the means of production are collectively owned, and other types of property are distributed equally among the members of the tribe. After that, the birth of Pre-Marxism, namely after the life of primitive society, with the emergence of the classical period rejecting metaphysics and visible psychology of collective and individualist society.

The paper examines effects of prosperity gospel on contemporary Nigerian Christian church and society. It discussed its historical origin and noted that it was birthed in USA and since the seventies now spreading among Nigerian Christian churches and society like corona virus. The study used historical and descriptive methods in its analysis. It discovered that most prosperity teachings are misused, thus, giving a false impression and interpretation about what the Bible really teaches. Finding revealed that, prosperity teachings in a way gives one a sense of hope, direction and reassurance that the life one lives can get better if one can only have faith in God. Equally, it was observed that the prosperity preachers or churches are quite correct in pointing believers to God and the wonderful promises made in his word in order to get their needs met. However, many of these preachers or churches have misused the gospel for monetization, lust for materialism, crimes and selfish advantages and thereby impoverishing their congregation the more rather than improving their lots. This in-turn has reduced the spiritual and moral capacity of the people in the church and society. The work recommended among other thing that the purpose of gospel preachers today should rather focus on doctrinal issues related to desire for the kingdom of God, soul-winning, salvation of man, hard work and good conduct in the church and society than lust for materialism and commercialization of religious activities.

Bu çalışma serebral kavernöz malformasyonların (SKM), SWI ve Gradient eko T2* (GRE T2*) görüntülerde saptanabilirliği ve lezyonların her iki sekanstaki boyutsal farklılıklarının karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışmamıza yaşları 14 ile 80 (42.4±17.58) arasında değişen toplam 57 SKM'li hasta (32 erkek, 25 kadın) dahil edildi. Kranial MR görüntülemede, rutin sekanslara ek olarak SWI ve GRE T2* görüntüleme yapıldı. SKM lezyonlarının sayısı, boyutu ve alınan sekansta görülebilirliği açısından retrospektif olarak tekrar değerlendirildi. SWI görüntülemede saptanmış SKM sayısı (n=97), GRE T2* görüntülerde saptananlara (n=69) göre yüksekti. Lezyonların medyan (min-max) boyutu, SWI görüntülerde 7.9 (3.7-45) mm, GRE T2* görüntülerde 7.7 (3.6-42) mm olup aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0.001). Ayrıca çalışmamızda 7 olguda SKM’ye eşlik eden gelişimsel venöz anomali ve 4 olguda eşlik eden fokal tip yüzeyel siderozis saptandı. SKM’ye eşlik eden fokal tip yüzeyel siderozis bulgusu SWI görüntülemede daha keskin ve ayrıntılı izlendi. SKM düşünülen olgularda tanısal üstünlüğü nedeni ile rutin kranial MR görüntülemeye SWI sekansı eklenmesi literatürde pek çok çalışmada önerilmektedir. Biz bu çalışmada mevcut literatüre ek olarak, SWI sekansının GRE T2* sekansında alınan görüntülere kıyasla lezyonları morfolojik olarak daha büyük gösterdiğini saptadık. Ayrıca SWI görüntüleme, SKM’ye eşlik eden okkült vasküler malformasyon saptanmasında ve fokal tip yüzeyel siderozis tanısında GRE T2* görüntülemeye kıyasla kesin bir tanısal üstünlüğe sahiptir.
