Authors: Serifi Vesnera , Hocko Serifi Senida , Serifi Veis
Published: January 2025

Sažetak: Jedan od osnovnih ciljeva urbanističkog planiranja je težnja ka raznolikosti u strukturi, obliku i funkciji u planiranju i dizajnu urbanog javnog prostora. Stoga je potrebno redefinirati pojam i funkciju urbanih područja, uz preporuku očuvanja identiteta. U teorijskom smislu, postoji problem planiranja i projektovanja urbanih zona u Prizrenu. Primjer Abi bazara odabran je zbog njegove složenosti – osim što je najveći društveni prostor u gradu, ovaj kompleks ima i visoke prirodne vrijednosti. Rezultati ukazuju na smanjenu upotrebu urbanog prostora. Na osnovu postojeće teorije i uvida u proces lokalnog planiranja, opšta preporuka za poboljšanje njegovog kvaliteta je poboljšanje forme/dizajna kompleksa i neophodno je definisati i promovisati identitet prostora kroz prostornu analizu. Krajnji cilj je uspješno odgovoriti na postojeće i potencijalne potrebe korisnika i na taj način definirati ekološku, ekonomsku, kulturnu i društvenu održivost.
Going Big in a Small Country: Fifty Years of Motorways in Portugal
Authors: Afonso Nuno Filipe , Melo Patrícia C. , Rocha Bruno T. , Abreu e Silva João de
Published: January 2025

Portugal’s motorway network experienced significant transformation in a relatively short period. Until the mid-1980s, the network counted less than 200 kilometers, reaching more than 3 000 kilometers in the end of this decade of the 21st century. As a result of this strong investment, the country now has one of the largest and densest motorway networks in the European Union. This paper describes the methodology developed for the construction of a longitudinal spatial database covering 50 years of road improvements in mainland Portugal using the Geographic Information Systems environment technology. Besides containing information for different road networks, the database also includes administrative, demographic, and socioeconomic information for Portugal’s mainland municipalities. Using the new database developed by the authors, the paper analyzes the evolution of the motorway network and the road-based accessibility to population and jobs over the period from 1971 to 2020. The new database is publicly available to other researchers and will, hopefully, be used in future studies on the socioeconomic impacts of road investments in Portugal, for example, to understand how improved road accessibility contributed to regional economic development or regional cohesion.

Published: January 2025

This paper discusses two projects that revolve around the conceptualization of tourism products within the framework of interpreting and understanding archaeological sites through a sustainable approach as part of TURARQ's initiative. The primary objective was to explore the application of a co-creation model, specifically the Project Based Learning methodology of "Demola" with the support of the "Link me Up" project, in the field of archaeological tourism.
 
The first project, Show Me the Past, involved the development of a mobile app that utilized an agile requirement analysis to create a prototype. The second project, Showcasing Prehistory, focused on entrepreneurship, inclusion, heritage, and sustainability, using a diagnosis of the social issues affecting the Mação territory. The outcomes of the first project included the creation of a Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) application, which allows users to visualize virtual objects in the real environment of discovery. In the second project, empathy maps were developed, encompassing archaeotourism, the local community, theme parks, and special needs. The findings indicated that these programs generated high levels of participant satisfaction and positively impacted competency development. However, further studies are required to ascertain the number of participants who have transitioned into entrepreneurs because of their involvement in these projects.
Dinâmica de adoção da economia circular ao nível regional: o papel dos governos regionais e das camaras municipais
Authors: Almeida António , Machado Luiz , Jacob Marta , Florido Cármen , Rodriguez Carlos
Published: January 2025

A economia circular (EC) surge como um tópico mediático, mobilizador e apelativo para múltiplos stakeholders, dado o consenso existente à volta da problemática da sustentabilidade e das alterações climáticas. Contudo, as decisões empresariais nesta área revestem-se ainda de um carácter voluntário, numa série de áreas e medidas. A relevância estratégica do setor turístico n, assente numa dinâmica de colaborações e de sub-contratação de serviços, sugere que o mesmo pode desempenhar o papel de role-model, no sentido da adoção generalizada da EC, desde que salvaguardada uma intervenção por parte dos governos regionais e locais. Com base numa amostra de 90 estabelecimentos hoteleiros da Grã-Canária e da Madeira, são identificados os fatores explicativos da taxa de adoção de medidas em quatro sub-áreas distintas  de forma a identificar áreas de relevo para a intervenção por parte da administração pública. Os resultados destacam o papel do grau de comprometimento por parte dos diretores hoteleiros, e das barreiras percecionadas e do acesso a recursos disponibilizados pelas autarquias, o que releva o papel das Camaras Municipais e dos governos regionais. Identicamente importante os fatores estatisticamente insignificantes, nomeadamente a ausência de pressão por parte de clientes e fornecedores.
Antitrust enforcement in the digital economy: From global trends to google's fines
Authors: Radivojević Vladimir , Krstić Miloš , Dimovski Jelena
Published: January 2025

The rapid expansion in the digital economy is reshaping markets around the world and attracting more regulatory attention to ensure fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of antitrust actions in the digital market, focusing on global trends and specific high-profile cases. The purpose is to examine the distribution of antitrust activity by country income level, geographic region, type of infringement (mergers, abuse of dominance, restrictive agreements), and affected companies to understand broader patterns in global competition policy. Utilizing descriptive analysis and case study methods, this paper explores the significance of these trends and delves into two major actions involving Google - Google Shopping and Google Android - as this company has both the highest number of antitrust investigations and the two largest fines imposed by the European Commission. The results emphasize the critical need for adaptable and enforceable competition policies in digital markets, where dominance by a few large players often challenges market fairness. These insights may inform policy-makers and regulators in developing balanced approaches to competition policy, especially in regulating global tech giants like Google to foster a competitive and innovative digital ecosystem.

Published: January 2025

This study proposed a method for detecting vegetation changes and establishing geospatial management zones based on the 10-year phenology analysis using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) long-term trends from Landsat 8 multispectral imagery in Nature Park Kopački rit. The main components of the proposed method include phenology analysis and NDVI anomaly detection supported by unsupervised k-means classification of vegetation management zones. The reference monthly NDVI values (2013-2019) with three test years (2020-2022) strongly indicated very high heterogeneity in vegetation activity. A 100 m spatial resolution and a monthly temporal resolution were used. The results of unsupervised k-means classification in five vegetation activity classes indicated that three of these classes have considerably high negative NDVI anomalies, covering 64.1% of the study area. While the proposed method ensures the detection of vegetation changes and vegetation activity zones, a comprehensive field observation is required to determine the potential environmental and/or anthropogenic causes. However, the proposed approach significantly reduces the need for extensive fieldwork, allowing biologists to focus their efforts on areas with detected abnormal vegetation activity.

Published: January 2025

Mucogingival anomalies arise from anatomical and morphological irregularities within the mucogingival complex of periodontal tissues, representing deviations from the normal dimensions and morphology of the gingiva-alveolar mucosa relationship. According to the American Academy of Periodontology glossary, gingival recessions are defined as the exposure of the tooth root surface caused by the apical displacement of the gingiva relative to the CE-mento-enamel junction. In addition to aesthetic concerns, gingival recessions lead to increased sensitivity and ineffective plaque control, which can ultimately result in tooth loss. To address these issues, procedures are performed to cover exposed roots and restore the normal function and appearance of the mucogingival complex. The treatment for gingival recessions is primarily surgical , aiming for complete root coverage with long-term stability. Various methods are available, but the gold standard involves using a connective tissue graft in combination with a coronally advanced flap. This paper compares three treatment methods: the coronally advanced flap (CAF), CAF combined with a connective tissue graft, and CAF with porcine collagen matrix application. The primary objective is to identify which surgical method yields the best clinical outcomes. Nine studies involving 303 patients demonstrated that the highest root coverage is achieved with CAF combined with a connective tissue graft, showing a reduction in recession depth of 2.64 mm, an increase in the keratinized gingival zone of 1.05 mm, and a reduction in pocket depth of 0.36 mm. CAF combined with porcine collagen matrix provided slightly lower results, while CAF alone yielded the lowest outcomes.
Sports photography as a resource of motivation for physical exercise of young people
Authors: Stamenković Miloš
Published: January 2025

Motivation is a very complex psychological phenomenon that can influence a person to achieve the desired results in the field of his interest. Motivation in itself can be external and internal, where it is external, more oriented towards achieving goals that will bring certain recognition to the person, while it is internal, related to further improvement and advancement in life. Recreational physical exercise is largely determined by a certain level of motivation, which means that the more motivated a person is, the more active he will be in different forms and levels of recreational exercise and vice versa. Thanks to the modern technological revolution, very powerful technological resources are available today that can influence the promotion of a recreational form of physical exercise, as well as the motivation of people to be more physically active. Sports photography is a powerful visual tool that can be used to promote a recreational form of physical exercise. Thanks to its artistic dimension, sports photography can make a significant contribution to a higher level of motivation for recreational physical exercise among young people. The application of sports photography in physical education classes would contribute to a higher level of student motivation to be more engaged in all phases of the lesson itself. It can be assumed that the application of technological resources such as videos and sports photos in the form of the motivational stimulators can significantly contribute to the understanding of one's own capabilities. And contribute to a greater interest of the youngest population in joining the physical exercise movement and choosing the sport that they will practice with their generation.

Economic performance of solar energy systems financed with green bonds in New Jersey
Authors: Peng Kayla , Peng Feng
Published: January 2025

Global reliance on extractive energy sources has many downsides, among which are inconsistent supply and consequent price volatility that distress companies and consumers. It is unclear if renewable energy offers stable and affordable solutions to extractive energy sources. The cost of solar energy generation has decreased sharply in recent years, prompting a surge of installations with a range of financing options. Even so, most existing options require upfront payment, making installation inaccessible for towns with limited financial resources. The primary objective of our research is to examine the use of green bonds to finance solar energy systems, as they eliminate the need for upfront capital and enable repayment through revenue generated over time. We hypothesized that if we modeled the usage of green bonds to finance the installation of a solar energy system in New Jersey, then the revenue generated over the system’s lifetime would be enough to repay the bond. After modeling the financial performance of a proposed solar energy-producing carport in Madison, New Jersey, financed with green bonds, we found that revenue from solar energy systems successfully covered the annual green bond payments and enabled the installers to obtain over 50% of the income for themselves. Our research demonstrated green bonds as a promising option for New Jersey towns with limited financial resources seeking to install solar energy systems, thereby breaking down a financial barrier.

Authors: Anthonysamy, Wan Mamat, Atan, Arini Kaslen, Wan Hasliza, Ashikin, Merita
Published: January 2025

Continuing higher education is essential for nurses to adapt to the evolving healthcare landscape. As an essential part of the healthcare system, nurses should pursue further education to broaden their knowledge, develop specialized knowledge, and become experts in their fields. This will promote their professional development and increase their ability to provide high-quality treatment. However, the percentage of registered nurses (RNs) with a degree in Malaysia is still low. Therefore, this study aims to explore the perception of continuing higher education among diploma-holder nurses in Malaysia. A qualitative study was conducted on nine diploma-holder nurses who had extensive experience in public hospitals in Malaysia. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data from October 2023 until November 2023. All interviews were recorded, translated, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was applied to the transcripts for a comprehensive assessment of the gathered data. Two themes were identified concerning nurses’ perceptions of continuing higher education: (1) personal achievement with the following subthemes – a) self-satisfaction and improvement, b) reputation, and c) career pathway, and (2) professional competence in nursing with the following subthemes: a) expanding nursing knowledge, b) self-improvement in patient care, and c) sources of reference. The identified themes on nurses’ perceptions of continuing higher education encompass a multifaceted spectrum. Nurses are highly motivated to pursue higher education, at least to the degree level, to provide better care for patients, enhance their competence, expand their knowledge, and elevate the overall reputation of nursing. As health treatments and care evolve, the motivation to advance the nursing profession through higher education becomes increasingly important for nurses.

Authors: Mohd Asri, A.Rashid, Zarime Mohamad Ashraf, Nor’ain, Nur Anis
Published: January 2025

Spirituality can be a strong and significant source of support for those who have health issues. Studies have shown that spiritual well-being can have a profound effect on a patient’s mental state and psychological well-being. Patients who receive sufficient spiritual care are reportedly happier with the care and treatment they receive in hospitals and are likely to have fewer negative emotions. Although assessing spiritual needs and providing spiritual care to patients are essential components of a nurse's job, research indicates that nurses do not always execute these tasks with their patients, nor are they competent enough to provide this critical service. This literature review aims to analyze and summarize a comprehensive and thorough review of previous research, theories, and knowledge about spiritual care in relation to nurses’ competence. The online search for nursing and medical journals published between 2017 and 2023, as well as the library databases, were accessed through electronic databases. The critical appraisal for the studies was conducted using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies. Forty studies were finally included in this review. The findings extracted from the literature review made visible the following five key themes: level of spiritual care competencies, definitions of spiritual care, education and training, time management and sociodemographic factors, Nurses as the primary caregiver need to develop a high degree of competency in giving spiritual care as this will help patients meet their spiritual needs thus improving spiritual health and quality of life. Gaining proficiency in this type of practice as the patient's primary caregiver will enable patients to better satisfy their spiritual requirements, enhancing their quality of life and spiritual health.

Experiencia de vida colectiva de jóvenes y enseñanza social de la iglesia: mirada psicosocial
Authors: Zapata Ángela María , Berrout Felix Rafael
Published: January 2025

Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis de la relación entre la enseñanza social de la iglesia y la experiencia de vida de jóvenes en condiciones de pobreza, desde una perspectiva psicosocial, atendiendo algunos de los planteamientos de la psicología de la liberación y la Teología de la liberación. Para esto, se empleó el enfoque etnometodológico de la investigación cualitativa. Los participantes de la investigación fueron jóvenes entre los 15 y 28 años, pertenecientes a grupos o movimientos juveniles católicos. Los resultados y la discusión se realizaron utilizando la metáfora de la “cuerda tensada”, la cual permitió reconocer tres tensiones: motivaciones, necesidades/intereses y metodologías o modos de actuar, tanto de la iglesia católica como de la acción colectiva de los jóvenes. En conclusión, si bien los grupos y movimientos de jóvenes han jugado un papel importante en las trasformaciones de condiciones de pobreza en el territorio a partir de la experiencia individual y colectiva de fe puesta en obras, su reflexividad y postura crítica ante las causas de la desigualdad social y económica que viven ha sido minimizada por acciones eclesiales endógenas, que han venido afianzando con mayor fuerza las prácticas religiosas y no la enseñanza social liberadora.
Abstract
We present the results of a research aimed at analyzing the relationship between social teaching of the church and the life experience of young people in poverty conditions from a psychosocial perspective (psychology / Theology of Liberation) and where we used the approach ethnomethodological of qualitative research. The research participants were young people between 15 and 28 years, belonging to groups and Catholic youth movements. To demonstrate the results and discussion, we chose the metaphor “taut rope” that can recognize three voltages: motivations, needs/interests, and methodologies or modes of action of both, the Catholic Church and the collective action of young people. The findings showed that, although youth groups and movements have played an important role in the transformations of poverty in the territory from the individual and collective experience of faith in works, the reflexivity and critical approach to the causes of social and economic inequality living has been minimized by endogenous ecclesial actions that have been consolidating with greater force, religious practices and not the social teaching releasing.
Casinos. Un análisis de su organización interaccional
Authors: Hernández Cerón Luis Alberto
Published: January 2025

El presente texto tiene la intención de investigar la vida social del casino, especialmente la vida social cara a cara, y así indagar sobre una parte de su organización social interna. Para ello, se focaliza en la perspectiva del personal vista desde fuera, es decir, como jugador y no como trabajador. Un casino se entenderá como un tipo de establecimiento social lúdico centrado en actividades de acción de azar vicaria para “enchufar” a los jugadores. Así, para poder comprender la estructura que subyace a las actividades que competen a ese tipo de acción, se necesita de una etnografía interna. Por esto se parte de la pregunta general ¿cómo es la organización social interaccional básica del casino? Se encontró que esa organización es la parte fundamental y vital de un casino, y que esa organización está estructurada en una forma de maquinación en favor del casino, es decir, es un tipo de establecimiento social que maniobra confabulando a su favor. Esa maquinación se puede denominar como situación de acción de azar, donde funciona de manera dual, primeramente, dando una ilusión de juegos de probabilidad, por otro lado, la probabilidad y la suerte son factores importantes para blindar la maquinación.
Disenso dentro del partido bolchevique Las fracciones del X Congreso partidario a la luz de la resis- tencia del proletariado industrial
Authors: Duer Martín Alejandro
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo centra su análisis en el contexto de los debates suscitados al interior del partido bolchevique en torno a la función que, en el marco de la organización de la producción, habría de desempeñar la población obrera industrial luego de la Revolución de octubre de 1917. Se procura reconstruir el escenario problemático contrastando los argumentos de las fracciones contendientes durante el X Congreso partidario de 1921 con las acciones de resistencia local desplegadas por el proletariado industrial durante el mismo período. Se argumentará que el episodio no se limitó a expresar una lucha facciosa suscitada por interpretaciones divergentes respecto del horizonte programático dentro del cual debía encuadrarse el proceso revolucionario. La indagación de esta confrontación permite igualmente vislumbrar el reconocimiento de un creciente distanciamiento de las estructuras partidarias, así como de los órganos del naciente poder soviético respecto de las bases obreras. Se plantea la posibilidad de interpretar este distanciamiento como indicador de la capacidad de las colectividades obreras en las fábricas para oponer una efectiva resistencia a las directivas partidarias de elevación de la disciplina y productividad laborales.

Published: January 2025

En este artículo se estudia la epistemología del filósofo mexicano Luis Villoro y se propone que la suya no es una epistemología relativista sino una que da importancia al aspecto práctico del conocimiento, que se construye desde la perspectiva de los sujetos en un contexto práctico. Luego de evidenciar este aspecto, se dan a conocer los novedosos puntos de vista que ofrece Villoro a dos argumentos contemporáneos en el contexto anglosajón, que son “la ética de la creencia” y “la epistemología de la virtud”.
Biopolítica y mestizaje: una reflexión del nacionalismo mexicano
Authors: Rodríguez Soriano Roberto Israel
Published: January 2025

El relato del origen de la nación mexicana supone que ésta se gestó en un proceso más o menos armónico de mestizaje cultural y racial entre dos núcleos: lo indígena y lo español. El relato del mestizaje ha sido apuntalado como discurso político gubernamental oficial que explica el origen y la identidad de México y de los mexicanos. A partir de éste, históricamente, se han tomado decisiones y estrategias políticas, culturales, sociales y económicas para organizar y definir a la población mexicana produciendo diversos efectos materiales diferenciados jerárquicamente en ésta. La tesis que se propone es que la categoría del mestizaje es biopolítica; que en su largo proceso de formación teniendo en su núcleo definiciones identitarias elementales que el criollismo generó desde la época colonial basadas en un proyecto civilizatorio reivindicativo de sus propios intereses económicos, ha definido la caracterización de la población mexicana y determinado las diferentes políticas de gobierno clasificando y dividiendo a la población en contra de su retórica de inclusión y de respeto a las diversidades culturales.
La manipulación cultural y estrategias para superarla: el caso peruano
Authors: Mora Ramírez Rafael Félix
Published: January 2025

Augusto Salazar Bondy trató acerca del concepto de dominación para poder elaborar una teoría que diese cuenta del modo en el que está sometido un pueblo entero a nivel cultural. Para él, la dominación cultural consiste en mantener a la población debidamente ocupada y distraída. De ahí que pueda plantearse la idea de una “manipulación cultural”. Al respecto, Antonio Gramsci explicó que la actual clase social en el poder logra conseguir la hegemonía cultural de la sociedad imponiendo su agenda, sus necesidades y prioridades (su visión del mundo) a toda la ciudadanía. El concepto de “industria cultural” de Adorno se revela de suma utilidad para entender aspectos específicos acerca de cómo se seduce la sensibilidad estética de los ciudadanos alterando constantemente los productos culturales que constituyen su cosmovisión. Asimismo, la dominación de la sociedad se vuelve más evidente considerando el papel que los aparatos tecnológicos juegan en el entramado social, según Marcuse. De este modo, se justifica el sometimiento que ejerce el capitalismo apelando a los frutos tecnológicos que esta sociedad está gozando. Sin embargo, es necesario recordar con Salazar Bondy que, para poder superar nuestra situación, hace falta reconocer que la sociedad está sumergida en una cultura de la dominación la cual se puede combatir ideológicamente. Finalmente, se utiliza la propuesta de Gramsci para indicar que la clase social dominada tendrá que reaccionar ante semejante treta política articulando su punto de vista con el conjunto de explotados en una amalgama de ideas para producir la contra-hegemonía y así cambiar la perspectiva cultural adoptada acríticamente por las grandes mayorías.

Authors: Muro Cabral Cicerón
Published: January 2025

Resumen
En este artículo se exponen y contrastan las teorías de las emociones o pasiones en la actividad política de Martha Nussbaum y Chantal Mouffe. Se analiza la teoría cognitivista de Nussbaum y la teoría del discurso y psicoanalítica de Mouffe. Se muestra cómo éstas encajan con sus propuestas explicativas y normativas de la actividad política. Los dos enfoques conllevan distintas concepciones normativas de las emociones para la estabilidad democrática y distintas recomen- daciones para hacer frente a las formaciones populistas de derecha. Al final, se contrastan sus diferencias teóricas y prácticas.
Abstract
In this article, the theories of emotions or passions in the political activity of Martha Nussbaum and Chantal Mouffe are exposed and contrasted. Nussbaum’s cognitivist theory and Mouffe’s psychoanalytic and discourse theory are analyzed. Here is shown how they fit in with each one explanatory and normative proposals of political activity. The two approaches entail different normative conceptions of emotions for democratic stability and different recommendations for dealing with right-populist formations. In the end, their theoretical and practical differences are contrasted.
Valores y sentimientos en el relato de un migrante
Authors: Galeandro Bárbara
Published: January 2025

A partir del análisis del relato escrito en italiano por el senegalés Cheikh Tidiane Gaye, Prendi quello che vuoi ma lasciami la mia pelle nera, este artículo propone, a modo paradigmático, una reflexión sobre los valores y los sentimientos que aparecen en los relatos pertenecientes a la literatura migrante en la época contemporánea. A través de la atormentada experiencia migratoria que la población migrante nos refiere, es posible reflexionar sobre nosotros mismos y sobre el otro, experimentando la necesidad de asumir algunos valores como universales para, de ese modo, dar lugar a una convivencia positiva. Asimismo, el conocimiento de las demás personas permite despertar la educación emocional por medio del sentimiento de empatía, para así difundir la semilla de la tolerancia. Las reflexiones que suscitan la lectura de estos relatos abren distintas visiones de lo que nos rodea, estimulan la voluntad de comprender al otro, generan deseo de escucha e inducen al respeto por la diversidad contribuyendo, de esta forma, a que la sociedad se incline hacia una imagen universalista del ser humano con la que superar la idea de una cultura hegemónica o de una “raza superior”, con el fin de potenciar las relaciones entre iguales.

East war from close: diary of Petras Plevokas
Authors: Vareikis Vygantas , Vareikis Vygantas
Published: January 2025

Petras Plevokas, a senior chief of the Lithuanian Police Protection Battalion, died a soldier’s death at the front fighting the Bolsheviks. The diary, damaged by humidity, was found by Russian soldiers on 28 February 1942, as it is written at the top of the document, ‘on the killed officer in the village of Semionov, Drogobuzhenov district’. Later on, the NKVD interrogators, reading this diary and apparently looking for ‘traitors to the fatherland’, underlined the facts that particularly interested them, as well as all the names of soldiers and officers. In the late 1960s, Švyturys, which was then a KGB mouthpiece, published several fragments of Plevokas’ diary, illustrating the usual ideological claims that Lithuanian ‘bourgeois nationalists’ were serving the German fascists.

PORTRETUL UNUI ROMANTIC: DE LA IDEOLOGIE LA PSIHOLOGIE ÎN ÎNSEMNĂRI DIN SUBTERANĂ DE F.M. DOSTOIEVSKI
Authors:   Universitatea din București, GUREI MIHNEA
Published: January 2025

This paper provides a close analysis of the complex process by which F.M. Dostoevsky conveys the psychological underpinnings of Romantic ideology in one of his most renowned works, Notes from the Underground. This article will demonstrate that Dostoevsky presents the two extremes of the Romantic type, the angelic and the demonic, as manifestations that coexist simultaneously in the Underground man. The first part of the novel uses the protagonist's romantic discourse to argue against determinism and rational egoism. The second part shows the main character's psychological inconsistency, which is largely attributed to a romantic education. The flaw of the Underground man is that he learns Romantic ideology without being a true Romantic. He speaks the language of romanticism but does not live by its ideals. This psychological divide holds him captive in the eponymous Underground.
Edith Stein’s Phenomenology of Empathy in Parish Ministry
Authors: Ballacay Jr Elvis P.
Published: January 2025

This paper aims to apply Edith Stein’s phenomenology of empathy to offer a paradigm for understanding the human person, which can help to enhance relationships in Catholic parish ministry. People in parish ministry are known for their various functions as ministers called in by the Church to serve the pastoral needs of other people in the parish community. However, the value of individuals and relationships in parish ministry seems to be compromised by certain issues of abuse that occur in the Church, which are detrimental to the growth of the parish community. To help alleviate these issues, this paper demonstrates that empathy can be a way to value the human person and relationships in the parish community. Using phenomenological hermeneutics, accounts of empathy are applied to navigate the interpersonal character of this paper, inviting and suggesting rather than imposing interpretations in the people’s experiences in parish ministry. Stein’s accounts of empathy as the essential experience of the other and the foundation of intersubjectivity offer a holistic understanding of the human person at the psycho-physical and spiritual levels. Thus, the relevance of empathy is integral in many aspects of service in the parish ministry, especially in helping to better enhance relationships among people in the Church and in fostering values in every activity of the parish community, including interpersonal and pastoral communications.
