Reformation als Auftrag: Der Zürcher Drucker Christoph Froschauer d.Ä. (ca. 1490-1564)
Authors: Leu Urs B.
Published: September 2024

Reformation and printing belong together in Zurich from the very beginning. Apart from the fact that Froschauer and Zwingli were personally close, all the important Reformation imprints of Zurich, as well as dozens of Bibles and Bible parts, were printed by him. With about 760 prints Froschauer is one of the big names in the German-speaking world of publishing. He has printed not only Theologica but also many textbooks and groundbreaking illustrated works. Unfortunately only few handwritten documents have been preserved by Froschauer himself. All the more exciting are the correspondences of various scholars and reformers, which contain a wealth of information about Froschauer and 16th century printing. They not only shed light on Froschauer’s character, but also on the print-runs, the daily production volume of a printing house, the wage structure and the collaboration with the authors.

Joachim von Watt (Vadian): Aequivoca nomina christiana ad religionem pertinentia
Authors: Stettler Bernhard
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a treatise of Joachim Vadian entitled "Aequivoca nomina christiana ad religionem pertinentia" (Christian terminology with equivocal meanings) which exists only in a handwritten version. Vadian’s undertaking was obviously influenced by Erasmus, who already criticized in his "Enchiridion militis Christiani" (1503) the fact that some theological terms or concepts were used wrongly in the course of time and gradually shifted towards other meanings no longer compatible with their original use in the New Testament and the Old Church. The manuscript as we know it today was expanded in the 1540s. Vadian may have been prompted to this work after having expanded and revised Christoph Schappeler’s treatise on Prayer in the early 1540s. Yet a close study of the "Aequivoca Nomina" also reveals that for some of the concepts he discussed Vadian used notes he had written in the 1520s and 1530s. Vadian’s interest in theology has long been known and reveals itself in his treatise on the Eucharist (1536) and in his polemical tracts against Kaspar von Schwenckfeld, in one of which the two natures of Christ (1540) were examined. It is now possible to state that Vadian was not only interested in theological matters, but that he also grappled with theological issues more than was previously assumed. Indeed, a study of the "Aequivoca Nomina" allows the conclusion that he read Peter Lombard, Gratian’s compilations of legal texts, the “Summa” of Thomas Aquinas, quite a large number of patristic sources and numerous writings of Erasmus (e.g. the "Paraphrases"), which he used without explicitly referring to their authors.
Buchgeschenke, Patronage und protestantische Allianzen: Die Stadtbibliothek Zürich und ihre Donatoren im 17. Jahrhundert
Authors: Scheidegger Christian
Published: September 2024

The so-called Bürgerbibliothek, the first public library in Zurich, was founded in 1629, partly to protect the reformed community in dangerous times. It was made possible by private initiatives and occasionally supported by the city’s authorities. Although lacking public funds, the collection expanded considerably thanks to donations, both from private citizens and from foreign visitors. Most donations and gifts, consisting primarily of books and various objects for the cabinet of curiosities, were meticulously registered in an illuminated manuscript. The donation book is an interesting source of information not only for provenance history, but also for researchers of cultural and social history, as the recorded entries for theologians, merchants, politicians, diplomats and refugees reveal numerous social connections. It is argued that the book donations were not merely voluntary, but that they bear witness to a network of legal deposit, patronage systems and a fascinating gift economy.

Erasmus von Rotterdam zwischen den Glaubensparteien
Authors: Christ-von Wedel Christine
Published: September 2024

This paper concerns Erasmus’ role in the increased confessionalisation of the 16th century. It discusses Erasmus’ struggle to remain neutral in the Reformation debate and highlights the impact of his historical approach on the confessional debate. In 1520, Erasmus argued epistemologically by suggesting that because scholars’ verdicts on Luther differed they were unconvincing. In 1524 he turned his epistemological argument against Luther by introducing skepticism into the Christian discourse. Again, in 1529 he used his historical approach to argue against what he perceived as being a main concern of the Reformer’s, namely reinstating the early apostolic church. By emphasizing that the Apostles also quarreled amongst themselves and that, for better or for worse, time changes all things he was able to avoid demonizing the traditionalism as the Reformers did or to overvaluing it as did their Roman Catholic counterparts in his view. Thus by 1533 he could safely offer forward-looking advice in favour of restoring a unified church. The impact of his suggestions, which influenced the colloquy of Regensburg, was still felt in the ecumenical movement of the 20th century.

Valores éticos, estéticos y científicos de la ecología integral: El ejemplo de Gaudí
Authors: Salas Carlos
Published: September 2024

Si el creador ha dejado inscritas en la naturaleza su bondad,verdad y belleza, el hombre, en sus creaciones, debe inspirarse en la naturaleza, para que estas sean auténticamente buenas, verdaderas y bellas; esdecir, para que posean y reflejen unos valores éticos, estéticos y científicos, alservicio de las personas.La carta encíclica Laudato Sí del Papa Francisco, publicada en 2015,abre el camino hacia una nueva visión de la ecología, en la que son fundamentales los valores éticos y que puede denominarse “ecología integral”.El profundo amor y respeto de Gaudí por la naturaleza, a la que admira,y el sentido trascendente que impregna su metódico trabajo —en un afán deservicio a la sociedad— nos enseñan que en la arquitectura, auténticamente sostenible, se funden, indisolublemente, un conjunto de valores éticos,estéticos y científicos para la mejora de la vida de las personas; y, ese es elfundamento de lo que podemos denominar la “ecología integral” y la “sostenibilidad integral”.
Job Satisfaction and Editorial Freedom at Al-Arabiya: Finding the Balance while Covering Volatile Middle East News
Authors: el-Nawawy Mohammed , Strong Catherine
Published: September 2024

Al-Arabiya is one of the most respected television news networks covering all aspects of the volatile Middle East. Its journalistic reputation increased during the Arab Spring protests of 2011, as it came to be regarded as one of the most reliable and accurate sources for news. Like any other television news network, it relies heavily on the professionalism and good will of its news staff. Although Al-Arabiya has the luxury of not being state owned, and therefore of being able to exercise more editorial freedom than most state-owned Arab television news stations, it does have limitations because of its Saudi Arabian ownership. The study found that journalists accepted these news gathering limitations as a trade-off for a secure job and for being able to work at what they consider the best Arabic television station in the region. This is one of the first academic studies to investigate perceptions of job satisfaction and editorial freedom among the news workers at this unique Middle East television news network. The researchers got a 94 percent response rate from a staff survey, and were given full access to interview staff and executives in Al-Arabiya’s headquarters in Dubai’s Media City.
Avoiding Doomsday: How to Neutralize Downers on Your Team to Ensure Organizational Survival
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article examines how negatively-biased employees, or "downers", can undermine organizational motivation, productivity and long-term survival if left unaddressed. Drawing from over a decade of consulting and research experience, the author analyzes literature establishing the problematic effects of negativity at the individual, team and organizational levels. A framework is then provided for leaders to properly diagnose problematic dispositional styles and apply a multi-pronged strategy to curb negativity's spread and corrosive impacts. Specific tactics covered include leading by positive example, fostering a supportive climate, delivering direct yet caring feedback, separating negative influences, and providing stress release outlets. These prescriptions are brought to life through a case study example. The goal is to equip leaders with an evidence-based understanding and applied toolkit to neutralize downers and safeguard organizational resilience.

The theatricality of the security system and the potentiality of the living.
Authors: Cobello Denise

In the light of the notions of territory, testimony and life this work sets out to investigate contemporary documentary stage production, observing ruptures and continuities with a tradition of historical documentary theatre. Since the aesthetic-political renewal presented that emerged in the 2000’s, the deepening of the crisis of representation in art has led to a growing interest in the concept of the real that has allowed the reinvention of forms that put in tension the technologies of biopower through the imperceptible germs of life that emerge from its interstices.

IMPACT OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON NIGERIA ECONOMY
Authors: AHAKIRI FRANCIS IDIEGE , RAPHAEL IMONG NELLY , NKANG MARY EYONG
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the effect of public expenditure on Nigerian economy for the period of thirty years, from 1990-2019. Ex-post facto research design was adopted. The data used in this study were secondary data derived from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin Annual Reports and Accounts. The study used regression analysis and the result revealed that both economic service and social service expenditure have positive significant effect on Nigeria economy (RGDP).  The study concluded that economic service and social service expenditures have effects on Nigerian economic growth. The study recommended that the government should increase public spending on social services. This can be accomplished by utilizing public funding to improve educational quality at all levels of learning (primary, secondary, and higher education) through training programs that give the skills and information needed to increase labor productivity and create additional job possibilities. Furthermore, public spending in the health and social security sectors should be directed toward constructive expenditures that promote economic growth.
Quantitative-Cumulative and Qualitative-Transformational Changes in the Continuous Becoming of Teachers
Authors: Germanos Erika , Roth Wolff-Michael
Published: September 2024

Professional development is a critical concept in the literature on teaching and teacher education. However, in this literature, continuous growth (learning)—e.g., improve teaching strategies, elaborate a variety of activities or integrate new technologies into their practice—is not distinguished from (crisis-like) change to qualitatively different forms of experience—e.g., engage students in learning, implement student-centered practices, consider students' individual needs and further learning. Based on a case study of the change a Brazilian teacher experienced over the course of an 8-year period, we develop an approach based on ideas of the Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky that not only theorizes a distinction between learning and development but also the articulation between the two processes whereby continuous change turns into discontinuous change.
How poetry and song can grapple with the dialectics of crisis and agency, and become tools for transformative research
Authors: Hopwood Nick
Published: September 2024

Activist scholarship inspired by a cultural-historical tradition often seeks to foster agency with people facing crisis. The aim is to develop new understandings and bases for action that can help people break away from the status quo and change what is possible. Cultural-historical theory understands crisis and agency dialectically, linking both to individual and social transformation. Dialectic understandings of crisis foreground breakdown and renewal. Dialectic understandings of agency foreground personal contributions with social consequence and contingency. I argue that these understandings are crucial as a point of departure in research where we stand alongside others on grappling with matters of equity and justice. However, establishing these as a shared basis for resisting, reimaging and rebelliously acting is not straightforward and requires countering dominant neoliberal framings. Arts-based forms have significant potential to enable precisely such disruptive thinking. The line ‘Dance on the shark’s wing’, opens a poem by Nikos Kavadias, bluring the lines between the real and the imagined, the fearful and the possible. ‘No One Is Alone’, a song from Sondheim’s ‘Into the Woods’, tells a story of how individual interest is overcome through collective wisdom and consequential action. These examples are discussed as potential transformative tools that could provoke and support collective radical imagination based on coherent understandings of individual agentic contributions to collective struggles. An argument is presented to embrace arts genres as means to destabilise engrained ways of thinking about crisis and agency, thus strengthening collaborative efforts in activist research
Special education services for students with disabilities experiencing houselessness:
Authors: Lee Yehyang
Published: September 2024

This systematic literature review aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the research which documents experiences of school-aged students with disabilities who are houseless in the public education system in the U.S. I use cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) as a theoretical framework to identify contradictions within and between activity systems (i.e., schools, shelters, families, etc.), all ostensibly committed in supporting these students. According to the National Center for Homeless Education (2020), students with disabilities accounted for 18% of all houseless students in 2020, a 15% increase from the previous school year. While many studies have addressed issues faced by students who are houseless, to our knowledge none have examined the ways in which disability factors into these experiences, especially as students navigate the complexities of being both houseless and disabled. This synthesis has implications for how schools and educators serve students at the intersections of disability and houselessness.
Math identity and Cultural Historical Activity Theory:
Authors: Orozco Socorro , Razfar Aria
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this exploratory study is to further investigate the cultural contexts under which pre-service teachers develop their mathematics identities. We reviewed pre-service teachers’ mathematics autobiographies that include a description of their math abilities, their perceptions of what it means to be a good student of mathematics and the impact of parental/caregiver and teacher relationships on the development of their mathematics identity. The analysis revealed three types of mathematics identities: positive, negative, and neutral and/or ambivalent. It also identified two dimensions of mathematics identity development, the social and the internal. We present implications to teacher preparation including the need to incorporate narrative eliciting assignments in mathematics methods courses.
Augmenting bilingual preservice teachers’ articulation of teaching in a Change Lab:
Authors: Chang Sharon , Lemos Monica , Göncü Artin
Published: September 2024

The funds of knowledge of bilingual preservice teachers (BPSTs) are undervalued in the U.S. predominantly White teacher education space. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and integrate the overlooked knowledge and epistemologies of BPSTs into teacher preparation. To do so, we conducted a secondary analysis of Play-Doh pictures and narrative generated by the BPSTs from a multi-year change laboratory (CL) intervention, which took place in one graduatelevel practicum seminar, enabling the participants to tell their stories and express their voices in multimodal ways. By applying Rabardel’s notion of instrumentality to preservice teachers’ imaginative work with Play-Doh, the study describes how the art-mediated instrumental approach supported BPSTs to co-reflect on their articulation of teaching. Implications of using culturalhistorical research to study teacher education are discussed.
Mythes, erreurs et paradoxes dans l’interprétation de la règle de conflit sur les obligations non contractuelles
Authors: Chikoc Barreda Naivi
Published: September 2024

Ce texte contient une réflexion critique de l’interprétation de l’article 3126 du Code civil du Québec (CcQ) qui domine dans la jurisprudence québécoise. Le raisonnement préconisant la primauté de la lex loci delicti fondé sur le mythe de la territorialité des lois dans ce domaine révèle une conception dépassée de la responsabilité civile. La justification territorialiste basée sur l’arrêt Tolofson contredit le fondement de la règle de conflit en la matière, qui repose sur la proximité et la prévisibilité de la loi applicable au rapport délictuel. Les arrêts analysés démontrent que le recours à la lex loci delicti s’est avéré l’instrument pour éviter certains résultats perturbateurs, notamment l’application éventuelle d’une pluralité de lois. Le territorialisme est ainsi instrumentalisé au détriment de la solution codifiée par le législateur. Il en résulte un renversement de l’ordre des critères de rattachements prévu à l’article 3126 du CcQ motivé par des erreurs et des paradoxes interprétatifs que l’auteure se propose de dévoiler et de corriger.
Femmes autochtones et discrimination au canada : analyse du droit à la réparation des peuples autochtones à la lumière de la notion de fait internationalement illicite à caractère continu
Authors: Décoste Éloïse
Published: September 2024

Durant plus d’un siècle, les dispositions de la Loi sur les Indiens relatives à l’admissibilité au statut « Indien » étaient discriminatoires envers les femmes autochtones. En vertu de ce régime législatif, lorsqu’une femme autochtone mariait un homme allochtone, elle perdait son statut « Indien » et les enfants issus de ce mariage n’y avaient pas droit non plus. Ce n’était pas le cas toutefois pour les hommes autochtones qui eux dans des circonstances semblables conservaient le leur. Or, sans statut, ces femmes n’étaient plus perçues formellement comme autochtones aux yeux de l’État canadien. Par conséquent, elles ne pouvaient plus vivre dans leur communauté, ni y participer à la vie politique et sociale, et se voyaient privées de la possibilité d’élever leurs enfants au sein de leur culture, de leur langue et de leurs traditions. Cette exclusion contribua à la marginalisation économique, à l’isolement social et à la dévalorisation de la vie des femmes autochtones.
Gift and Glory
Authors: Rokhgar Negar
Published: September 2024

The gift of a velvet with repeating patterns of the Virgin Mary nursing Christ (Madonna del Latte) from Shah Abbas of Safavid Persia to the Republic of Venice is often interpreted as the embodiment of the Shah’s two-fold political and commercial motivations in pursuing his transcultural allegiance with Venice against the Porte. This paper explores the Shi’a Safavid iconography of the biblical imagery on this velvet and rereads it as a Safavid attempt in defining commonality across cultures through visual media. This vision differs significantly with the Venetians’ perception of the Shah’s luxurious gifts and letters, which is reflected in Gabriele Caliari’s painting of the Safavid reception by Doge Grimani in 1603, in Palazzo Ducale, Venice. The paper analyzes the two visions of the Safavids and the Venetians in a comparative study of the period’s textual and visual materials. It explores how the gifts such as the Madonna del Latte velvet facilitated diplomatic negotiations with Christian Europe, whereas painted representations such as Caliari’s reveal much about the perception of cultural difference in early modern courts.
The Stone Fireplaces of Denendeh
Authors: Carroll Patrick
Published: September 2024

Stone fireplaces and chimneys have been documented in nineteenth century Indigenous settlement sites in the Northwest Territories. The cabin and chimney designs were adapted by Dene craftsmen based on examples they encountered when engaging with Euro-Canadian traders and explorers. The Indigenous cabins and chimneys were built during a period of transition in Dene culture, at a time when they began the process of integrating into a fur trade economy. The chimneys and cabins are elements of Euro-Canadian vernacular architecture adapted by Indigenous people in the north. The Indigenous cabins and chimneys are an example of cultural diffusion and, in some instances, might have also been expressions of social status. Together, the Indigenous stone chimneys and the extant chimney features at Fort Confidence and Fort Reliance in the Northwest Territories are part of a shared architectural heritage.

Together with obesity and type 2 diabetes, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a growing global epidemic. Activation of the complement system and infiltration of macrophages has been linked to progression of metabolic liver disease. The role of complement receptors in macrophage activation and recruitment in MASLD remains poorly understood. In human and mouse, C3AR1 in the liver is expressed primarily in Kupffer cells, but is downregulated in humans with MASLD compared to obese controls. To test the role of complement 3a receptor (C3aR1) on macrophages and liver resident macrophages in MASLD, we generated mice deficient in C3aR1 on all macrophages (C3aR1-MφKO) or specifically in liver Kupffer cells (C3aR1-KpKO) and subjected them to a model of metabolic steatotic liver disease. We show that macrophages account for the vast majority of C3ar1 expression in the liver. Overall, C3aR1-MφKO and C3aR1-KpKO mice have similar body weight gain without significant alterations in glucose homeostasis, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, compared to controls on a MASLD-inducing diet. This study demonstrates that C3aR1 deletion in macrophages or Kupffer cells, the predominant liver cell type expressing C3ar1, has no significant effect on liver steatosis, inflammation or fibrosis in a dietary MASLD model.

Cyanobacteria are key contributors to biogeochemical cycles through photosynthesis and carbon fixation. In filamentous, multicellular cyanobacteria these functions can be influenced through gliding motility, which enables filaments to localise in response to light and also form aggregates. Here, we use the aggregate forming species
Fluctiforma draycotensis
to study gliding motility dynamics in detail. We find that filaments move in curved and straight trajectories interspersed with re-orientation or reversal of direction. Most reversals take few seconds but some take substantially longer, resulting in a long-tailed distribution of stoppage times. Mean filament speeds range around a micron per second with a relatively uniform distribution against filament length, implying that all or fixed proportion of cells in a filament contribute to movement. We implement a biophysical model that can recapitulate these findings. Model simulations show that for filaments to reverse quickly, cells in a filament must achieve high coordination of the direction of the forces that they generate. To seek experimental support of this prediction, we track individual cells in a filament. This reveals that cells’ translational movement is fully coupled with their rotation along the long-axis of the filament, and that cellular movement remains coordinated throughout a reversal. For some filaments, especially longer ones, however, we also find that cellular coordination can be lost, and filaments can form buckles that can twist around themselves, resulting in plectonemes. The experimental findings and the biophysical model presented here will inform future studies of individual and collective filament movement.
Cortico-striatal action control inherent of opponent cognitive-motivational styles

Turning on cue or stopping at a red light requires attending to such cues to select action sequences, or suppress action, in accordance with learned cue-associated action rules. Cortico-striatal projections are an essential part of the brain’s attention–motor interface. Glutamate-sensing microelectrode arrays were used to measure glutamate transients in the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) of male and female rats walking a treadmill and executing cued turns and stops. Prelimbic–DMS projections were chemogenetically inhibited to determine their behavioral necessity and the cortico-striatal origin of cue-evoked glutamate transients. Furthermore, we investigated rats exhibiting preferably goal-directed (goal trackers, GTs) versus cue-driven attention (sign-trackers, STs), to determine the impact of such cognitive-motivational biases on cortico-striatal control. GTs executed more cued turns and initiated such turns more slowly than STs. During turns, but not missed turns or cued stops, cue-evoked glutamate concentrations were higher in GTs than in STs. In STs, turn cue-locked glutamate concentrations frequently peaked twice or three times, contrasting with predominately single peaks in GTs. In GTs, but not STs, inhibition of prelimbic–DMS projections attenuated turn rates and turn cue-evoked glutamate concentrations and increased the number of turn cue-locked glutamate peaks. These findings indicate that turn cue-evoked glutamate release in GTs is tightly controlled by cortico-striatal neuronal activity. In contrast, in STs, glutamate release from DMS glutamatergic terminals may be regulated by other striatal circuitry, preferably mediating cued suppression of action and reward tracking. As cortico-striatal dysfunction has been hypothesized to contribute to a wide range of disorders, including complex movement control deficits in Parkinson’s disease and compulsive drug taking, the demonstration of phenotypic contrasts in cortico-striatal control implies the presence of individual vulnerabilities for such disorders.

In conjunction with turn cue-evoked glutamate spike levels, the presence of a single spike rendered GTs to be almost twice as likely to turn than STs. In contrast, multiple glutamate spikes predicted GTs to be less likely to turn than STs. In GTs, but not STs, inhibition of prelimbic-DMS projections attenuated turn rates, turn cue-evoked glutamate peaks, and increased the number of spikes. These findings suggest that turn cue-evoked glutamate release in GTs is tightly controlled by cortico-striatal neuronal activity.

We designed novel pre-drug compounds that transform into an active form that covalently modifies particular His residue in the active site, a difficult task to achieve, and applied to carbonic anhydrase (CAIX), a transmembrane protein, highly overexpressed in hypoxic solid tumors, important for cancer cell survival and proliferation because it acidifies tumor microenvironment helping invasion and metastases processes. The designed compounds have several functionalities: 1) primary sulfonamide group recognizing carbonic anhydrases (CA), 2) high-affinity moieties specifically recognizing CAIX among all CA isozymes, and 3) forming a covalent bond with the His64 residue. Such targeted covalent compounds possess both high initial affinity and selectivity for the disease target protein followed by complete irreversible inactivation of the protein via covalent modification. Our designed prodrug candidates bearing moderately active pre-vinyl sulfone esters or weakly active carbamates optimized for mild covalent modification activity to avoid toxic non-specific modifications and selectively target CAIX. The lead inhibitors reached 2 pM affinity, highest among known CAIX inhibitors. The strategy could be used for any disease drug target protein bearing a His residue in the vicinity of the active site.
