The History of Studies in the Byzantine Liturgical Rite
Authors: Плоский А.Л. , Грицай Е.И.
Published: August 2023

Первые шаги в исторической литургике были предприняты западными учеными в XVII в. За четыре столетия база исследований литургии византийского обряда пополнилась огромным количеством работ различного характера — от научных статей до полноценных монографий. Многие из таких трудов стали классикой и вызывают немалый научный интерес. Цель настоящей статьи — представить обзор наиболее значимых работ в области вопроса истории изучения византийской литургической традиции, который не только не теряет актуальности, но приобретает все большее значение для междисциплинарных исследований, прежде всего для изучения истории церковного искусства, иконографических особенностей и программных и композиционных построений.

Western scholars took first steps in liturgical History in the XVII century. Since then the studies in the Byzantine liturgical rite have been enriched with a great deal of scientific papers including articles and complete monographs. A wide range of publications have become classics and attract scientific interest up to this day. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the most crucial studies of the History of Byzantine liturgical rite, which remain relevant and are getting more and more important for cross disciplinary studies, especially in the field of Church Art History.
The Features of the Apocalypse Iconography Development in the Russian Monumental Painting of the XVI Century: Eastern Christian Traditions and European Origins
Authors: Мелих Анастасия Михайловна
Published: August 2023

Основная цель статьи — проследить этапы развития иконографии новозаветного Апокалипсиса в монументальной живописи Руси XVI в., выделить предпосылки обращения к новой для данного периода теме. В частности, дать систематическое описание сюжетов, обозначить преемственность иконографических форм, а также осмыслить место апокалиптических композиций в общем контексте монументальной живописи этого периода. Рассматриваемое явление в Позднем Средневековье представлено как синтеза восточной иконографии с элементами западной традиции в церковном искусстве. Именно поэтому наиболее важный вопрос в изучении сюжетов, иллюстрирующих Апокалипсис, заключается в выявлении происхождения каждой композиции и характерных ее особенностей.

The main purpose of the article is to trace the development stages of the New Testament Apocalypse iconography in the Russian monumental painting of the XVI century, to single out the factors of forming a topic, new for this period. In particular, to give a systematic description of the plots, to identify the continuity of iconographic forms, as well as to comprehend the place of apocalyptic compositions in the general context of monumental painting of this period. In the Late Middle Ages the reviewed subject is presented in the church art as the synthesis of Eastern iconography with elements of Western tradition. That is the reason why the most important issue in the study of plots illustrating the Apocalypse lies in discovering the origin of each composition and its characteristic features.

Attempts to Identify the Theology of Isaac Newton: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Регульский Иван Тимофеевич
Published: August 2023

Проблема идентификации богословия Ньютона возникла уже при его жизни. За прошедшиее столетия сформировалось несколько версий того, кем был Ньютон: англиканином, пуританином, сторонником Маймонида или социнианином. В работе даётся критический обзор данных версий. Автор приходит к выводу, что своебразие ньютоновского богословия не позволяет стопроцентно отждествить его ни с какой-либо из христианских конфессий, ни с иудаизмом.

The problem of identification of Newton’s theology emerged during the life of Newton himself. Previous centuries brought to life a few versions of what Newton’s theological identity was: Arian, Socinian. Puritan, Anglican, or Maimonidean-like. This article provides a critical analysis of those versions. The author concludes that none of them can be fully attributed to Newton’s theology. Newton’s views can be reduced neither to any Christian confession nor to Judaism.
G. Vattimo’s philosophy as an answer for the problem of violence: from ethics to aesthetics
Authors: Сороколетов Никита Вадимович
Published: August 2023

Автор настоящей статьи пытается доказать тезис, согласно которому ключом к пониманию теологических построений Ваттимо оказывается определенная этическая проблематика. В частности, речь идёт о проблеме насилия, которая в конечном счёте приобретает эстетическое измерение. По мнению автора, философия Ваттимо должна прочитываться сквозь призму проблемы насилия. Благодаря такому прочтению становится ясно, почему Ваттимо приветствует герменевтический нигилизм, почему он ставит знак равенства между христианством и секуляризацией, почему он дистанцируется от постметафизической теологии, предложенной Левинасом и Деррида, и критикует её. В статье показаны основные положения критики Ваттимо, направленные на метафизическое мышление. Также анализируется кенотический аспект философско-теологических построений Ваттимо, который является ядром его размышлений о христианстве. Очевидно, что философский и теологический дискурсы очень тесно переплетены между собой. И, таким образом, цель настоящей статьи — показать, как проблема насилия решается в философии Ваттимо, который использует различные теологические концепты.

The author of the article maintains that the key to understanding Vattimo’s theological concept is a certain ethical issue. In particular, this is about the problem of violence that eventually acquires an aesthetic dimension. The author argues that Vattimo’s philosophy must be read from the perspective of the problem of violence. Through this reading it becomes clear why Vattimo approves hermeneutic nihilism, why he equates Christianity and secularization, why he avoids and criticizes post-metaphysical theology suggested by Levinas and Derrida. The article formulates the main statements of Vattimo’s criticism of metaphysical thinking. The article also examines the kenotic aspect of Vattimo’s philosophical-theological concepts, which aspect constitutes the main point of his thinking about Christianity. It is obvious that the philosophical and theological discourses are closely connected with each other. So, the purpose of the article is to demonstrate how the problem of violence is solved in Vattimo’s philosophy which contains different theological concepts.

Настоящая статья приурочена к столетию со дня рождения выдающегося богослова, мыслителя, проповедника и пастыря протопресвитера Александра Шмемана. Автор предлагает рассмотреть одну из глав книги отца Александра «Водою и Духом» через призму истории оглашения и в современном контексте. В статье сопоставлены взгляды протопресвитера Александра на проблему и историю катехетики со свидетельствами древних источников и церковных авторов. Отец Александр живо интересовался богословием и практикой таинства Просвещения, поскольку считал память о принятии Крещения основополагающим принципом христианской жизни в целом. В своём служении пастыря и преподавателя семинарии он старался не принижать значимость проблем, связанных с современной ему практикой крещения детей и взрослых. Так отец Александр поднимал вопросы недостаточно трепетного отношения ко Крещению в христианской среде, длительности необходимого срока для подготовки к таинству, профанации института крёстных. Особенное внимание протопресвитер Александр обращал на тему радикального переворота в жизни обратившегося в христианство. Следуя древним формам принятия христианской присяги, он особенно указывал на важность и момента отречения от сатаны, и ответственного чтения Символа веры на последних этапах подготовки.

This article is timed to coincide with the centennial of the birth of the outstanding theologian, thinker, preacher, and pastor Protopresbyter Alexander Shmemann. The author offers a look at one of the chapters in the book of Father Alexander "By Water and Spirit" through the prism of the history of the catechism and in the contemporary context. The article compares Protopresbyter Alexander's views on the problem and history of catechesis with the testimonies of ancient sources and church authors. Father Alexander was vividly interested in the theology and practice of the sacrament of Enlightenment because he considered the remembrance of Baptism to be a fundamental principle of Christian life in general. In his ministry as a pastor and seminary teacher, he tried not to diminish the significance of the problems associated with the practice of baptism of children and adults today. Thus Father Alexander raised the questions of the insufficiently reverent attitude toward Baptism in a Christian environment, the length of time required to prepare for the sacrament, and the profanation of the institution of godparents. Protopresbyter Alexander paid special attention to the theme of a radical change in the life of a convert to Christianity. Following the ancient forms of taking the Christian oath, he particularly pointed to the importance of the moment and the renunciation of Satan and the responsible reading of the Creed in the final stages of preparation. In addition to presenting the views of Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann, the present article also offers an attempt to make sense of the applicability of the ancient rules in the conditions of modern parish churches.

Authors: Ibrahim Basim M.
Published: August 2023

Background: Childhood diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of preventable mortality and disease burden throughout the developing world. It generated by several pathologic states, most commonly infections. Although the human large intestine ordinarily harbors a huge microbial population, most bacteria, protozoan, and viral agents of diarrhea are not members of this normal gut flora, but are aquired through contaminated food or water.Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the main microbial causative agent of diarrhea in children below five years of age, and to evaluate the relationship between the incidence of diarrhea with sex and age group of the patients.Patients and Methods: Total of two hundred twenty three stool samples were collected from children under five years of age suffering from diarrhea, who visit Children Welfare Teaching Hospital at Medical City Complex, Baghdad city during the period from July to the end of September 2010. General stool examination (GSE) was done for all the samples to identify the parasitic and fungal agents, and immunological detection were done to identify the viral causative agent of diarrhea, and the pathogenic strains of bacteria. Also biochemical tests for specimen cultured on specific culture media were done to identify the bacterial causative agents, after ensuring that the patients don’t take antibiotics at the time preceding sample collection.Results: Pathogenic bacteria came first with higher number of microbial isolates. High number of bacterial isolates was related to Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Entamoeba histolytica appears as the most frequent parasitic causative agent. Increased rate of infection were falls on the first and second age groups, and also high rate of infection were recorded in males than in females.Conclusion: bathogenic bacteria appear as the most predominant causative agent of infectious diarrhea in males under two years of age.

Published: August 2023

Background: The nail organ has an important functional and aesthetic importance. Nail Growth Rate (NGR) has attracted the attention of many investigators not only due to the importance of the nail apparatus but also as a tool to reflect health.Objective: To study the effects of smoking and age on nail growth.Patients and methods:The study was conducted at the Department of Physiology and the Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad during the period from January 2011 to May 2011.Nail growth measurement was performed by etching a T – mark on the nail plate of the right and the left thumbs with a wide bore needle. The vertical distance between the point of meeting of the T and the proximal nail fold was measured using (vernier). A second measurement was performed one month later. The difference between the 2 readings was divided by the number of days between the readings to give the NGR.Results:The NGR was measured in a total of 106 subjects. The subjects were divided into 3 groups:Group1 (Smoker male subjects): 23 subjects were included in this group. Their ages ranged between 20 and 59 years with a mean of 35.87 +11.72 years. Group 2 (Non-smoker male subjects): 34 subjects were included. Their ages ranged between 13 and 52 years with a mean of 31.76 + 10.16 years.Group 3 (Non-smoker female subjects): 49 subjects were included. Their ages ranged between 8 and 58 years with a mean of 27.49 +11.66 years. NGR measurement in:Group 1:The mean growth rate in the right thumb was 95.4 + 28.8 microns/day, and for the left thumb was 96 + 34 microns/day.Group 2:The NGR was 105.6 + 34.35, and 103.4 + 34.24 microns /day, for the right thumb and the left thumb respectively. .Group 3: The NGR was 100 .5 + 33.52 microns/day for the right thumb and 101.6 + 31.77 microns /day for the left thumb.Conclusion: Age was inversely correlated with nail growth in right and left thumbs in all groups. The duration of smoking and number of cigarettes was inversely related to nail growth, but it did not reach statistical significance.
A Theological View, Apologetic And Critical, Of The Social Phenomenon “Kardashians”
Authors: Molina Cobos Maria del Carmen
Published: August 2023

Exacerbated consumerist lifestyles damage the social and environmental fabric. In times of crisis, socio-cultural phenomena such as the reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” have the potential to numb socio-environmental awareness and feed the “consumerist culture” of the global North and the “throwaway culture” of the global South. Television and other media could build bridges between such opposing realities. However, socio-environmental suffering is made invisible in order to make opulence and excess visible. Through an apologetic and critical theological essay, this article aims to highlight unsustainable vicarious and virtual consumption patterns in the context of the unprecedented socio-environmental crisis we are experiencing. It also presents different types of responses of the Catholic Church maintained over time or rescued from the Holy Scriptures, the magisterium of the Church, ecotheology and the spirituality and contemplation of the mystics. All this is at the service of pro-environmentalist actions within the framework of Integral Ecology.
Analysing crimes in public spaces of New Delhi through news reports: The need and possibility of integrating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Principles.
Authors: Garg Prarthana , Singh Raja
Published: August 2023

Delhi has crime in public spaces that must be addressed using a multi-disciplinary approach. In this research study, we investigate the need and possibility of integrating Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles into the built environment for crime reduction in New Delhi. By analyzing 100 criminal activity records from New Delhi's public spaces, from 2017 to 2023, sourced from news websites, we categorized incidents based on CPTED's four principles: surveillance, access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance. Remarkably, our findings reveal that an overwhelming 91% of the analyzed crimes were either facilitated or influenced by elements of the built environment. Notably, a predominant factor contributing to criminal incidents was the absence of natural surveillance measures. This study underscores the critical role of urban design in shaping crime patterns and advocates for a comprehensive integration of CPTED principles to foster safer and more secure urban spaces in New Delhi.

Introduction: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the substantial cause of death in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Electroconductive disorders leading to life-threatening arrhythmia are mostly hypothesized to play a crucial role; however, there is paucity of knowledge in variable among the patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) compared to the healthy controls. Methods: The current case-control study has been conducted on 50 drug-resistant TLE patients as the cases and 50 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects selected from their first-degree family members. ECGs were taken when admitted at the hospital (base line), immediately after a seizure incidence and within an hour after the end of the seizure from the cases compared with a random ECG of the controls considering parameters including PR-, RR-, and corrected QT interval (QTc), P wave duration and heart rate (HR) variability. Results: Shorter corrected QTc interval was notified among the drug-resistant TLE patients compared to the controls (P-value=0.017) in the base line taken ECGs, while the assessments immediately after the seizure revealed significant differences in terms of RR-interval (P-value=0.005) and heart rate (P-value=0.005). Post-ictal ECGs did not differ between the groups (P-value>0.05). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, shortened QTc interval at base line ECGs, shortened RR interval and increased HR during the seizure were the ECG elements affected in drug-resistant TLE patients; however, to generalize the outcomes, further studies are required.

Introduction: During early adolescence, peer influences play a crucial role in shaping learning and decision preferences. When teens observe what their peers are doing, they can learn and change their behavior, especially when they are taking risks. Our study incorporated an economical behavioral task and computational modeling framework to examine whether and how early male adolescents’ risk attitudes change when they see information about their peers’ choices. Methods: We recruited 38 middle school male students aged 12-15 years. The experiment consisted of three sessions: The first and third sessions were designed to evaluate the risk attitude of the participants. In the second session, participants were asked to guess the choices made by their peers, and then, the computer gave them feedback on the correctness of their predictions. Each participant was randomly assigned to risk-taking or risk-averse peers. Results: Our results revealed that teenagers who predicted risk-averse peers exhibited significant declines in their risk attitudes during the last session. On the other hand, participants with risk-seeking peers exhibited a significantly higher level of risk attitudes after predicting their peers. The data showed that these peer-biased changes in risk attitudes are proportional to the gap between teens and their peers’ risk perspectives. Results showed that their perspectives aligned closer after receiving the information, and approximately a third of the gap was eliminated. Conclusion: Here, by combining choice data and computational modeling, we demonstrate that risky behavior is contagious among male adolescents. According to our data, peer-biased risk contagion, a socially motivated and deliberate process, is associated with social distance in teens. There's no causal directionality here, but we could speculate that peer influence goes hand-in-hand with social integration as an adaptive process.

Authors: Sánchez Sánchez Ernesto
Published: August 2023

Los cambios en la política económica mexicana dentro del neoliberalismo implicaron serias transformaciones en las relaciones y formas de organización laboral. Con base a esto, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar las implicaciones que tuvieron en la organización de los trabajadores la aplicación de prácticas como los contratos de protección y la subcontratación, y las posteriores reformas laborales, todavía limitadas, que posibilitan nuevos esquemas de dinamización dentro de los sindicatos, mediante nuevas reivindicaciones enmarcadas dentro de los derechos de ciudadanía laboral. Metodológicamente se hace una descripción sucinta sobre los principales cambios en la economía mexicana y el contexto laboral a partir de la última década del siglo pasado y las dos primeras del presente siglo. Esto se vincula con los elementos conceptuales de la centralidad de trabajo y ciudadanía laboral. Se concluye señalando que las reformas laborales posibilitan nuevos escenarios de oportunidad del sindicalismo mexicano.

Las diferentes prácticas de muerte (y el origen de éstas) que diferentes cárteles de la droga en México han empleado en las últimas dos décadas y su reproducción en esferas sociales cotidianas, así como sus vínculos con el Estado desafían las categorías y elaboraciones teóricas académicas. En este texto procuramos pensar estas necroprácticas desde la perspectiva inmunitaria de Roberto Esposito radicalizando su planteamiento, pero también atribuyendo responsabilidades epistémicas de esos saberes de muerte que han llegado hasta los confines de lo social.

Quantifying biodiversity across the globe is critical for transparent reporting and assessment under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Understanding the full complexity of biodiversity requires consideration of the variation of life across genetic, species and ecosystem levels. Achieving this in a globally-standardized way remains a key international challenge for biodiversity monitoring efforts. Here, we present the Sustainable Ecology and Economic Development (SEED) framework, which consolidates multiple dimensions of biodiversity into a single measure of biocomplexity as a holistic estimate of the current state of nature at a given location. The SEED framework continuously integrates state-of-the-art datasets and maps of the biological variation in plants, microbes, animals, and ecosystems to estimate the local biocomplexity across the planet relative to a comparable, minimally-disturbed ‘reference’ ecosystem. The SEED framework allows an assessment of ecological health in response to positive and negative human impacts, and informs decision makers who strive to improve the global state of nature.
