Published: April 2022

The pandemic COVID-19 that the world are facing today has led to high usage of disinfectants and routinely used in the community. However, the extensive usage of biocides for disinfection could lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance has become the major caused that contributes increase in morbidity and mortality rate. The wide scale use of biocides creates selective stress that will favor bacteria in expressing resistance mechanisms and their dissemination. Some biocides have the potential to create cross resistance with the antibiotics and developing co-resistance to spread the Antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In this review, the author will discuss on the potential threat in the healthcare caused by the biocides that could drive the AMR to become worse.

Published: April 2022

Earthquakes are among the most disastrous natural hazard that affects the economy and livelihood of the population around the world. Understanding the risk by assessing the hazard and vulnerability beforehand is vital to lessen the impact of the earthquake event. Although the seismic hazard in Malaysia can be considered at a low to moderate level, however, the existence of the local fault line and historical seismic data in Malaysia should be considered in preparing the future risk for such region. Therefore, this study aims to review the trend of seismic risk assessment in Malaysia. The review is important to see the current approaches in conducting the seismic risk assessment that will incorporate in the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies to reduce the future impact of earthquakes. Additionally, several issues and challenges in assessing the seismic risk particularly in this region also have been highlighted in this review. In conclusion, the trend of seismic risk assessment in Malaysia shows some enhancement in the methodology and reliability of the outcomes especially in terms of assessing the seismic hazard and vulnerability level in an earthquake-prone region. However, some further improvement is needed to obtain a more comprehensive risk understanding for developing seismic risk resilience in Malaysia.

E-cigarette has been marketed over years as one of alternative smoking cessation aid offered for consumer worldwide. The addition of flavouring in e-liquid has become a major factor that contributes to the appeal of using e-cigarette among a non-smoker and youngster has raised concerns due to possible risk and hazard outcomes in daily usage is remain unclear to date. In order to fully understand the e-cigarette attributes towards human health and environment; 17 e-liquid products locally sold were bought and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) in order to determine the chemical constituent of e-liquid, especially the flavouring additive. A total of 19 out of 41 identified chemical compounds were detected as a new flavouring agent used in e-liquid products since there was no previous report on this. Many of the flavour chemicals possessed a risk of inhalation toxicity because they were classified as corrosive and/or irritant, with only a few having acute toxicity and the potential to cause cancer. Moreover, several chemical compounds to be concerned such as stimulant as well as opioid types were unexpectedly identified in the e-liquid. Thus, this finding indicate that the chemical constituent of e-liquid contained unknown risk of toxicity and further research is needed to fully understand the possibility of adverse effect in using e-cigarette.

Interception of plants commonly used in urban landscape has not been widely studied compared to forested and cultivated area. Understanding the interception characteristics of these plants can facilitate the selection of the right plant type or combination in order to promote interception as a mean to improve the urban water cycle and urban built environment. Two (2) tropical plants are considered in this study, namely, Dracaena Sanderiana and Breynia Distincha, both with distinct plant structure, plant height, canopy size, number of leaves per plant, leaf size and leaf shape. Rainfall interception characteristics are investigated in laboratory environment using standard hydrology apparatus for different plant density. Artificial rainfall intensity of fixed duration is varied to measure the volume and duration of outflow, and volume intercepted. Results show that runoff begins earlier for higher rainfall intensity and lower plant density. The volume and duration of outflow increases with rainfall intensity and interception increases with canopy cover ratio and leaf area ratio for both plants. At lower plant density, Breynia Distincha has lower interception compared to Dracaena Sanderiana. However, at high plant density, Breynia Distincha demonstrates much better interception capacity even though the canopy cover and leaf area ratios are smaller than Dracaena Sanderiana. The phenomenon may be attributed to coalescence of water droplets that either flow down as stemflow or drip off the leaves under gravitational action. The firm small leaves of Breynia Distincha oriented at near horizontal are more likely to retain the intercepted rainwater compared to the slender soft leaves of Dracaena Sanderiana. This shows that closely spaced Breynia Distincha can be effective in increasing urban interception.

Published: April 2022

In orthopedic and trauma surgery, the drilling of bone is the process of preparing, making, and enlarging a hole of circular crosswire in a solid anisotropic material bone structure. The failure of irreversible osteonecrosis occurs when the temperature rises to 47 °C or higher during bone drilling. Osteonecrosis is a disorder that leads to the death of bone tissue cells, resulting in weaker contact between implants and bone, and in some cases, the loss of strong and stable attachment to the bone. Previous studies had concentrated on drill bit material, design, point angle, force, speed, and feed rate. This study outlines the technique for developing a drilling-related finite element model to verify the drilling process’s efficacy using a computer simulation approach. Software LS-DYNA © 2011-2020 LST was used to conduct a drilling model based on the finite element (FE) technique. The temperature behavior of orthopedic chromium type martensitic magnetic stainless steel AISI420B twist drill bit (Ø 4.3 mm) was determined. The findings were quantified, and the outcomes of the simulated and actual evaluations were compared. The surgeon’s typical drilling technique or pattern was used in this study, with a penetration angle of no more than 30°, and performed using a battery-powered surgical hand drill. A forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera for temperature detection was used to record drill bits thermal data throughout the experiment. The utilization of two factorial analyses in the design of experiment (DOE) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the simulation result had higher mean performance confirmation than the actual experimental result, with a difference of 10.9102%. The AISI420B showed good heat conductivity, and minor wear than typical stainless steel drill bits in the market for bone drilling. Therefore, the AISI420B stainless steel twist drill bit tested able to perform well for bone drilling.

Published: April 2022

Occupational accidents have been ravaging the Nigerian construction industry, the sector accounted for 39.24% of the whole occupational accidents between 2014-2016. The effects of occupational accidents can be noticed in the productivity of the construction organizations, making the sector contribute to only 4% of the GDP of the Nigerian economy. Therefore, the need to strengthen health and safety in construction sites is indispensable. This study aimed to explore the roles of construction organizations in revitalizing the health and safety of the Nigerian consecution industry. The questionnaire was used to solicit information for this study. The 300 questionnaires were distributed and 247 were returned, representing 82.33 percent, therefore, considered for the analysis of the study. SPSS software was used in the analysis of the study. The finding of the study revealed that among the top three methods considered essential to revitalizing occupational health and safety are; education and training on health and safety, compliance with health and safety regulation and laws, and enforcement of health and safety rules on the employees. The study recommends more commitment toward health and safety from construction organizations, professionals, government agencies, and employees.
Synergy from Village, Integrated Healthcare Center, and Early Childhood Education in Stunting Prevention (Case Study)
Authors: Mulyani Sri , Soetrisno Soetrisno , Andayani Tri Rejeki
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Stunting is a growth faltering condition due to the accumulation of insufficient nutrition that lasts a long time, especially in the first 1000 days of life Basic health research (Riskedas) in 2013 stated that in Indonesia, there has been an increase in the prevalence of stunting in children from 36.8% in 2010 to 37.2% in 2013. Although the stunting rate based on Riskesdas 2018 fell to 30.8%, the challenge of accelerating stunting reduction still quite big. One of the causes is the problem of multisector convergence of planning, budgeting, actuation-implementation, monitoring, and control of programs that have not synergized with each other.

AIM: This research is intended to see the picture of the synergy between village, Integrated Health Center (IHC), and early childhood education (PAUD) in preventing stunting.

METHODS: This research is a case study took place s in Klaten and Boyolali areas. Research respondents are the officers of village, IHC, and PAUD. The research instrument used was questionnaire aimed at assessing the synergy between stunting prevention activities that had been carried out. This synergy includes knowledge, planning, budgeting, mobilization-implementation, monitoring, and evaluation carried out by the village, IHC and PAUD officials. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Duncan test for further analysis (post hoc). The test was carried out with a significance level of 5%.

RESULTS: Analysis of stunting prevention activities which include knowledge, planning, budgeting, actuation-implementation, monitoring, and evaluation has a relatively low average score in general. These results indicate that the synergy between village, IHC, and PAUD officials in preventing stunting is still not optimal. The achievement of the best efforts and synergies in the two areas can be seen in the implementation aspect. On the other hand, the less visible aspect is the funding aspect. The knowledge score of IHC officers is known to be lower than that of village officials and PAUD officers. Therefore, this multisector convergence problem requires a solution that is appropriate to the geographical conditions and local context.

CONCLUSION: Based on the results of research conducted in the two areas that were used as research locations, the synergy between the village apparatus, IHC, and PAUD in stunting prevention activities still needs to be optimized, especially in terms of the role of each agency and the coordination of the three.

AIM: This study aims to evaluate the nutritional content and physicochemical aspect of the combination of eel and tempe flour.

METHODS: Samples of swamp eel and tempe flour were combined in a ratio of 1:1 (A), 1:2 (B), 1:3.5 (C), and 1 kilogram of Asian swamp eel meat without additional tempe (D), respectively. Homogenization was done using a sinmag planetary mixer. The sample analysis was performed at the SIG Laboratory (PT. Saraswanti Indo Genetech) on November 16, 2021. The samples were analyzed triple (triplicates). Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism version 9.3.0 for Mac OS. Variables were analyzed using multivariate ANOVA with 95% CI (0.05).

RESULTS: There was a significant difference between Samples A, B, C, and D for every proximate analysis parameter (p = 0.000) p < 0.05. The results showed a significant difference in the unsaturated fatty acid parameter between the groups (p < 0.001). Sample C has the highest B9 (folic acid) content compared to other samples (1258.53 ± 1.39 mcg/100 g) and a significant difference was found between samples (p < 0.0001).

CONCLUSION: Tempe flour enriched eel flour can act as a source of folate, due to its high folate content. Tempe flour enriched eel flour could be used as a flour mixture in any food products that require flour to increase folate content.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem, but it is not known about its status in the Kosovo population.

AIM: The purpose of this study is to determine the status of Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in our population.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data collection was done from January 2020 to July 2021, during which period blood samples were collected. The sampling was done for 769 selected subjects and statistical data (frequency, mean values, and standard deviation) have been analyzed for 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration. They were categorized by age group, gender, and level of 25(OH)D. The prevalence and percentage of Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in the study population were evaluated.

RESULTS: The mean concentration of 25(OH)D in the serum of the study group was 18.3 ng/ml. The mean value was significantly lower for females when compared for that of males (17.89 and 19.58 ng/ml, respectively), with p < 0.0035, but there was no significant difference between age groups. The level of 25(OH)D less than 20 ng/ml was observed in 62% of the cases in our study population with a slight difference between female (63.6%) and male (57.2%) group. The age group of >60 had 25(OH)D deficiency in 62.3% of cases when compared to other age group categories. Vitamin D deficiency was present in 20.2% of cases; meanwhile, its insufficiency was present in 41.9% of cases. Vitamin D deficiency was observed in 21.1% of females and 17.1% of males, while 42.4% of females, respectively, and 40.1% of males had Vitamin D insufficiency.

CONCLUSION: The mean values of 25(OH)D in the study population are relatively low, which corresponds to significant Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in all age groups, and which may also have serious implications for their overall health.
Le féminisme de marché, ou comment la demande d’égalité « pour toutes » est devenue une égalité pour certaines
Authors: Pochic Sophie
Published: April 2022

Alors que le « nouvel esprit du capitalisme » était en France silencieux sur les inégalités entre les femmes et les hommes, depuis les années 2000, l’exigence d’égalité semble avoir été cooptée par le discours gestionnaire, notamment le principe de mixité dans les espaces de décision et les métiers techniques. Mais comment expliquer l’intégration tardive et sélective par les grandes entreprises de revendications féministes classiques ? Une enquête sociohistorique sur une grande entreprise publique française d’énergie devenue une multinationale financiarisée éclaire le rôle respectif de deux types d’intermédiaires du droit anti-discriminatoire rarement saisis de concert : les syndicalistes d’une part et les managers « militant·e·s de l’intérieur » d’autre part. Le croisement d’archives et d’entretiens permet de rappeler que la demande syndicale d’égalité « pour toutes » a longtemps été déniée par les dirigeants (masculins) et qu’elle est désormais portée par des « féministes de marché » qui assument leur sélectivité sociale. La politique de « diversité de genre » qui se met en place, de manière concomitante aux transformations économiques de l’entreprise, participe à neutraliser les revendications syndicales dans des espaces de « dialogue social » sous contrôle managérial. Si cette politique tend à conforter les aspirations de carrière des plus dotées, elle laisse les salariées subalternes sans défense face aux restructurations financières.
Un éthos pondérateur
Authors: Comby Jean-Baptiste
Published: April 2022

Les dégradations environnementales alimentent une remise en cause des fondements matériels et idéologiques du capitalisme. Ce dernier parvient pourtant à tirer profit de la critique écologique. Comment ? L’article montre que cette endogénéisation est redevable d’un éthos pondérateur ajusté au courtage tant entre différentes bourgeoisies qu’entre le monde de l’entreprise et le mouvement écologiste. Cet éthos est lui-même le produit de dispositions à « l’engagement civique » couplées à une intégration aux classes dominantes qui se révèle scolairement puis professionnellement dissonante. Il se déploie dans des espaces d’intermédiation où l’accumulation d’un capital social diversifié agit comme une ressource efficiente pour adoucir les alternatives et critiques environnementales, les filtrer et les ouvrir au « capitalisme vert ».
Historia et visibilité du Christ dans les images au concile de Nicée II
Authors: Deurbergue Maxime
Published: April 2022

Certains passages parfois oubliés du concile de Nicée II montrent qu’à côté d’une approche qui privilégie la théologie de la nature et de l’hypostase, le concile envisage aussi la dépendance mutuelle entre les images et le récit évangélique : il permet ainsi de mieux comprendre la manière dont le Dieu invisible s’expose à nos yeux.
Tous à la même image

Published: April 2022

À travers les débats entre Grégoire de Nazianze et Eunome, ainsi que dans la réception d'Origène chez Athanase, on entrevoit une christologie qui a approfondi la nature de cette iconicité du Christ et on peut repenser ce qu'Irénée appelle théosis comme christificatio. La christologie patristique qui rend compte du Christ “icône du Dieu invisible” doit permettre de mieux saisir notre propre visibilité.
« Qui me voit, voit le Père »
Authors: Gerl-Falkovitz Hanna-Barbara , Janique Alix
Published: April 2022

Comment peut-on voir l’invisible ? Ce paradoxe conduit d’abord à s’interroger sur ce que voir veut dire. S’agit-il d’atteindre l’objectif décidé d’avance par l’intentionnalité d’une visée antérieure ou, au contraire, de laisser surgir ce qui se donne à voir ? Or ce qui se donne à voir déborde souvent, peut-être toujours, ce que le regard prévoit. En sorte que (surtout si l’on considère les avancées de la phénoménologie récente) c’est dans le désert de l’intentionnalité que l’on voit le mieux – l’invisible.
« Vous avez vu que je vous ai parlé du haut des cieux » ( Exode 20, 22)
Authors: Dohmen Christoph , Brague Françoise
Published: April 2022

Dans la présentation de la révélation dans l'Ancien Testament, particulièrement dans le Livre de l’Exode, le visuel est généralement considéré comme secondaire par rapport au langage et à la Parole. Cependant les textes montrent clairement que le visuel est une fonction importante pour la révélation. En effet le phénomène de la vision révèle la structure de la révélation dans la mesure où la vision se produit dans le sujet, celui qui voit.
250 ans après Lessing, où en est-on de la recherche sur Jésus ?

Cette rétrospective parcourt les différents stades de la recherche sur Jésus : des prétentions positivistes à dégager un Jésus de l’histoire « objectif », jusqu’à l’évidence que la subjectivité de l’interprète interdit une telle conception, on s’aperçoit aujourd’hui que dans une approche historique, le théologien a sa place : on ne peut éviter la question du sens du message de Jésus sur Dieu.

Les gestionnaires de l’humain
Authors: Perrier Simon
Published: April 2022

L’empire des sciences comportementales est considérable, leur désir de servir immense. L’approche comportementale séduit les pouvoirs. L’intention est de rationaliser : gestion exemplaire, parfaits fonctionnements, bien-être de l’adaptation. Une psychologie de l’humanité, armée de leviers, biaisant, agira sur les comportements. Mais, réduit à des comportements, infantilisé, c’est l’humain qu’on abaisse. Des sciences, tout pouvoir tendra à aimer les moyens qu’elles lui offrent. Dans l’organisation du travail, bien-être et autonomie servent surtout la rentabilité. La flexibilité y est liberté d’un zèle millimétré, sans cesse optimisé. En politique, l’approche comportementale sert une méfiance élitaire de la démocratie, un paternalisme gestionnaire, les experts au pouvoir.
Race contre classe ?
Authors: Dorlin Elsa
Published: April 2022

S’interroger sur « le retour de la race dans les sciences humaines et sociales » dans le contexte d’une polémique particulièrement inquiétante, d’une guerre sémantique et idéologique, qui se joue à l’échelle médiatique, politique, partisane, universitaire et intellectuelle, nécessite de revenir à la généalogie des outils d’analyse critiques mobilisés pour penser les rapports sociaux, d’historiciser les déplacements et les renouvellements des cadres d’analyse des processus de racialisation au sein de la recherche en SHS. Loin d’effacer la « classe » et les antagonismes sociaux, les travaux contemporains sur le, les racismes, ont largement enrichi la bibliothèque du matérialisme historique, mais aussi les conceptualisations de l’idéologie ; et participé à remettre au cœur des études socio-historiques, politistes, philosophiques, culturelles, esthétiques, l’objectivation du capitalisme tardif, des inégalités et injustices, des stratifications sociales propre au néolibéralisme.
Crise de paradigme dans l’histoire du mouvement antiraciste
Authors: Debono Emmanuel
Published: April 2022

Le mouvement antiraciste est marqué par des divisions profondes qui découlent de l’émergence, dans les années 2000, du paradigme décolonial. Ce paradigme est fondé sur une révision de l’histoire, la production de nouveaux concepts et une radicalité qui tranchent avec un héritage antiraciste ancien. C’est à l’aune de cet héritage, quasi centenaire, que cette contribution s’efforce d’analyser les mutations et expressions actuelles de ce champ militant.
Islamophobe ! Antisioniste ! Islamo-gauchiste !
Authors: Hochmann Thomas
Published: April 2022

Le débat public sur le racisme est pollué par des termes qui assimilent à des discours de haine des affirmations simplement polémiques ou choquantes. Toute critique d’Israël serait antisémite, tout propos irrévérencieux à l’égard de l’islam exprimerait de la haine envers les musulmans et toute dénonciation des discriminations contre ces derniers traduirait un soutien aux mouvements islamistes les plus radicaux. Ce manque de distinction est le fruit d’une vision simpliste qui contribue à renforcer les phénomènes qu’elle prétend combattre.
Un racisme anti-Blancs ?
Authors: Sabbagh Daniel
Published: April 2022

L’extrême droite ayant fait de la dénonciation du « racisme anti-Blancs » l’un de ses chevaux de bataille, la plupart des chercheurs et des militants antiracistes rejettent cette notion et la tiennent pour un oxymore. Ce rejet majoritaire présuppose une conception moniste du racisme comme système produisant et reproduisant des inégalités entre groupes raciaux. Pourtant, rien ne justifie d’écarter ainsi les deux autres conceptions – idéologique et attitudinale – du racisme, et ce d’autant que la thèse du « racisme systémique » est vulnérable à des objections d’ordres analytique et politique. Mieux vaudrait, sur la base d’une conception pluraliste du racisme, considérer l’existence d’un « racisme anti-Blancs » – vraisemblablement marginal – comme une question empirique, y compris afin de contrecarrer l’instrumentalisation de ce thème par des forces hostiles à l’antiracisme.
Nouvel antiracisme, nouveaux interdits : un regard québécois

À partir de deux événements s’étant produits au Canada à la fin des années 2010, ce texte s’interroge sur la nouvelle idéologie racialiste qui se substitue à l’antiracisme traditionnel, tout en se présentant comme sa continuation alors qu’elle en est fort différente. Se déployant notamment autour du concept de « racisme systémique », ce nouvel antiracisme recèle certaines tendances inquiétantes, qui constituent de plus en plus clairement une menace tant pour les droits des individus que pour la cohésion sociale.
La chute de la pratique catholique en France autour de 1965 : le précepte dominical malmené
Authors: Berthe Pierre-Marie
Published: April 2022

Si les travaux de Guillaume Cuchet montrent que la pratique religieuse baisse fortement en France autour de 1965, avant même la crise de 1968, les raisons qui ont poussé les catholiques à s’affranchir du précepte dominical restent à approfondir. Sans revenir sur les causes sociales, politiques et culturelles, souvent étudiées, qui concourent à expliquer sur le long terme ce mouvement de désaffection pour la messe, cet article examine dans quelle mesure le précepte dominical a pu être fragilisé par certaines orientations du concile Vatican II (1962-1965). S’appuyant sur des documents romains, des ordonnances épiscopales et des sources internes à l’Église catholique, de nature canonique, catéchétique et pastorale, trop peu explorées en ce sens par la recherche historique, cette contribution entend évaluer les effets collatéraux, sur le plan de la pratique cultuelle dominicale, des discours et réformes qui ont prévalu dans les paroisses et les diocèses de France, au moment du Concile. Sept problématiques sont étudiées : la conversion pastorale de l’Église, la dynamique d’adaptation au monde, l’appel à la liberté et à la diversité, la priorité sociale et caritative, la simplification des rites, la participation active des fidèles, l’indulgence à l’égard des pécheurs et des non-catholiques. L’examen attentif des sources met en évidence que la baisse de la pratique ne doit pas être attribuée à une réforme, un événement ou un texte en particulier, mais plutôt à une atmosphère nouvelle, assez déstabilisante, résultant d’inflexions doctrinales et disciplinaires, impliquant des aspects fondamentaux du précepte dominical.

Published: April 2022

Dans le cadre d’une étude de documentation avant restauration, l’IRPA a été commissionné par la Ville de Bruxelles pour dater le portail principal de son Hôtel de Ville. Si la principale question de cette commande portait sur l’ancienneté des boiseries, les résultats, inattendus puisqu’ils concluent à une menuiserie de la première moitié du xv e e siècle (contemporaine des maçonneries), ont mené à approfondir l’étude, grâce l’aide de l’équipe archéologique des MRAH. Des relevés archéologiques ont été réalisés, permettant un examen précis de la structure ; une recherche dans l’iconographie ancienne a été menée, ainsi que de premières tentatives de comparaisons stylistiques avec d’autres portails de la même époque.
“Brüsseler Spitze” – The tower of Brussels Town Hall in the context of late medieval openwork spires
Authors: Kayser Christian
Published: April 2022

La tour de l’Hôtel de Ville de Bruxelles a été érigée entre 1449 et 1455 par Jan Van Ruysbroek sur d’anciennes structures. Le concept, s’inspirant du modèle de « tour ajourée » développé pour la Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Fribourg au début du xiv e siècle, fut utilisé pour la première fois ici pour un édifice civil. Cette typologie de construction fut largement adoptée à partir du début du xv e siècle, et l’on citera le rôle majeur joué par les projets de tours du maître constructeur souabe Ulrich von Ensingen, d’après la méthode de construction de Fribourg. La conception bruxelloise évoque le design original d’Ulrich pour Strasbourg dans ses caractéristiques essentielles, les combinant à des éléments issus d’autres sources, comme un système de profil s’inspirant de la tour de la Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Vienne.
La noblesse de la monarchie habsbourgeoise et le modèle culturel louis-quatorzien : étapes d’une confrontation, entre rejet, contre-modèle et participation
Authors: Hyden-Hanscho Veronika
Published: April 2022

Après 1648, la noblesse habsbourgoise était, d’un côté, catholique, loyale à la maison des Habsbourg et liée à la cour de Vienne ; de l’autre, transterritoriale, membre à part entière de la noblesse du Saint-Empire romain et de la culture aristocratique européenne. Corsetée dans l’antagonisme dynastique entre Bourbons et Habsbourg, elle a développé une attitude ambivalente envers la culture française, qui a façonné de plus en plus la vie de la noblesse en Europe. Cet exposé analyse, en s’appuyant sur des récits de voyageurs, des correspondances privées du Grand Tour et des rapports de diplomates en mission, les différentes stratégies de la noblesse habsbourgoise pour s’approprier la culture française, l’intégrer éclectiquement ou la contourner.
« […] one of the most perfect pieces of Architecture in Europ, emulating even some of the greatest now at Rome it selfe. » : perception et description de l’architecture française et italienne dans le journal de voyage de John Evelyn
Authors: Engelbrecht Martina
Published: April 2022

Cet article examine les déplacements et les notes de voyage de l’auteur anglais John Evelyn, qui avait entrepris au milieu du xviie siècle une longue tournée à travers l’Europe continentale et documenté rétrospectivement ses impressions dans un journal appelé Diary. Notre analyse se concentre sur les descriptions des édifices qu’Evelyn a visités lors de ses séjours à Paris et à Rome. Les passages descriptifs du texte sont évalués de manière comparative en tenant compte des procédés descriptifs de l’auteur et de sa compréhension de l’architecture. La question première est de savoir quels édifices Evelyn a vus à Paris et à Rome et comment il juge ce qu’il a vu. Les jugements formulés dans le Diary seront mis en relation avec les écrits ultérieurs d’Evelyn sur l’architecture afin de déterminer (1°) si John Evelyn a pu acquérir, à partir de ses impressions de voyage, des connaissances en matière d’architecture et d’urbanisme et (2°) si ces connaissances ont pu nourrir ses réflexions ultérieures sur l’architecture et lui forger une opinion indépendante.
What You Should Know about Versailles: Leonhard Christoph Sturm’s Die zum Vergnügen der Reisenden geöffnete Baumeister-Academie
Authors: Paulus Simon
Published: April 2022

Almost two decades before his Architectonische Reise-Anmerckungen (Architectural Travel Notes), published in 1719, the German architectural theorist Leonhard Christoph Sturm published another ‘guide’ for construction-related travel studies, which, however, received far less attention in the relevant research. Die zum Vergnügen der Reisenden Geöffnete Baumeister-Academie (first edition, Hamburg, 1700/1702) is mainly addressed to the dilettante reader, primarily the young nobleman, and represents a summary of his teaching as professor at the Wolfenbüttel Ritterakademie. Based on this contextual background, the article examines the importance of Versailles in particular in Sturm’s canon of buildings worth seeing and studying, and the differences that become evident in comparison with the Architectonische Reise-Anmerckungen.
A biotheology of God’s divine action in the present global ecological precipice
Authors: Winslow Lisanne D.
Published: April 2022

Theological discourse surrounding the environmental crisis has rightly brought to the forefront human agency as a primary causal determinant. However, this article explores a theistic divine action position toward an account of the present global precipice that the earth and all its creatures teeter upon. The first section offers a preferred view of divine action theory, Divine Compositionalism, with explanatory power to account for an ever-changing planet. Furthermore, Divine Compositionalism is used to ground the role of God as Creator and sustainer of all things toward a constructive biotheology. The second section accounts for both human culpability and God’s divine action, retaining human free will and God’s sovereignty within a creation God owns and loves. The final section explores a possible remedy to the environmental precipice through the very elements of human cooperation that ensured the success of our prehistoric ancestors. A cooperative biotheology entails humanity re-claiming its inter-relation with all creatures in a world family while exercising the free will to partner with one another on a spiritual level in accomplishing God’s good and wonderful eternal ideas for the next step in human spiritual development toward earth’s physical evolution.Contribution: Drawing upon Divine Compositionalism as a new view of divine action, this article explores God’s action in the natural world as it is now and offers a biotheology that entails divine–human partnership toward an alternative future outcome.

Authors: Ukeachusim Chidinma P.
Published: April 2022

Currently, there is a high rate of persecution unleashed on Christians worldwide with a special reference to Nigeria. Globally, Nigeria accounts for more than 70% of Christians being killed because of their identification with the Christian faith. This makes Nigeria one of the most dangerous countries for Christians. Employing the redaction method of doing biblical exegesis, this study explores and interprets the context of John 16:25–33 and applies its theological findings to the similar reality of Nigerian Christians being confronted with severe persecutions. This study argues that the lessons drawn from John 16:25–33 can equip Nigerian Christians to have the peace Jesus promised consolidated in their hearts as they are being persecuted because of their faith in him.Contribution: This study addressed the issue of the high rate of persecution being unleashed on the Church in Nigeria from the theological stance of John 16:25–33. The study recommends that the lessons drawn from John 16:25–33 can equip the persecuted Church in Nigeria to enjoy the peace Jesus promised the Church.
Addressing physical pain with religion and spirituality during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Oberholzer Annemarie E.
Published: April 2022

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is associated with various painful symptoms and could potentially lead to a significant increase in patients experiencing chronic pain. While churches had to close their doors during the pandemic, emerging scientific data suggest that, when our spiritual needs are not met, our well-being can be in jeopardy, and it could also increase the experience of physical pain. The aim of this article is, therefore, to explore the role that spirituality and religion could play in addressing physical pain. An interdisciplinary approach is used with the goal of integrating different insights so as to construct a more comprehensive understanding of the problem. Literature in the disciplines of humanities, health sciences, as well as social sciences is explored to identify the concepts of physical, social and spiritual pain and to explore the link between the different dimensions of pain. It became clear that physical, social, and spiritual pain can influence one another, and addressing one kind of pain can also improve pain in another dimension. Several spiritual and religious interventions were found in the literature and confirmed to be valuable in helping patients cope with physical pain, such as accepting and giving meaning to pain, prayer, meditation, scripture, music, support from the religious community and helping others.Contribution: This article highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates religion and/or spirituality to address physical pain during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Decolonisation – A reading strategy for the African (re-) interpretation of the Old Testament in a (South) African context
Authors: De Wet Oosthuizen Rudolph
Published: April 2022

The interpretation of the Bible cannot escape being influenced by developments and exposure to the social sciences, hermeneutics, globalisation, and so on. While acknowledging the context of progressive universalisation and the multidimensional pull towards homogenisation, the specificity of the African context(s) in the ongoing discourse regarding the theological significance of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament texts must be acknowledged. The discourse is about positionality and considers theoretical concerns raised by the social sciences and the notion of cognitive existentialism. In so doing, a reading strategy and agenda for African Bible studies can gradually be more explicitly enunciated. Issues that need to be more overtly considered are the epistemological basis upon which a historical-critical approach can continue to inform the discourse and narrow the distance between the ordinary reader with a focus on life interests and the scholarly reader with a focus on interpretive interests.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Acknowledgment that Bible Interpretation is situated in a context influenced by modernity, and interdisciplinary discourse (science, philosophy, humanities and social sciences) is providing a platform for engaging various readers of the Biblical Text as religious document in the discourse.

Published: April 2022

Küreselleşmenin hız kazanması ile beraber rekabet edebilirlik olgusu oldukça önemli hale gelmiş, rekabet için önemli bir anahtar olan araştırma ve geliştirme kavramı ön plana çıkmıştır. Araştırma geliştirme faaliyetlerinin faydalarını erken dönemde fark edip ilgili alanlara yatırım yapan ülkeler günümüzde gelişmişlik statüsüne ulaşmışlar, ilgili faaliyetlerin yararlarını gördükçe araştırma geliştirme alanına yaptıkları yatırımları daha da artırmışlardır.
                Çalışmanın amacı, piyasa başarısızlıkları nedeniyle düşük seyreden Ar-Ge yatırımlarının teşviki için devletlerin kullandığı çeşitli vergi teşviklerini incelemek, seçilen ülkelerin (Almanya, Belçika, Rusya ve Çin) gayrisafi yurtiçi hasılalarından Ar-Ge’ye ayırdıkları paylar ışığında hem Ar-Ge’ye yönelik vergi teşvik sistemlerinin incelenmesi hem de ülkemizle karşılaştırılmasının yapılması ve ekonomik büyümeyle ilgisinin irdelenmesidir. Çalışma sonucunda Türkiye ve seçilen ülkelerin GSYİH’dan Ar-Ge faaliyetlerine ayırdıkları pay ile Ar-Ge’yi teşvik sistemleri karşılaştırılmış, Türkiye’nin Ar-Ge faaliyetleri konusunda yetersiz olduğuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: Göktaş Prof. Dr. Vahit , Hasan Mohammad Mahmudul , Chowdury Saeyd Rashed Hasan , İsmailoğlu Murat
Published: April 2022

This study aims to discuss the process of self-purification in the Tablighi Jamaat and an attempt to shed light on how this Sufi ideological movement has increasingly gained popularity worldwide. Tablighi Jamaat is known as the institutional da'wah activities introduced by Maulana Ilyas, considering the demands of the modern Muslim mind and society. Tablighi Jamaat's primary purposes are to spread the message of Islam among the people and self-purification through religious practice. At the same time, this movement works for the spiritual restructuring of Islam at the grass-root level of society. The people of this Jamaat have been urging Muslims worldwide to focus on the core religious practices in pursuit of self-development and socio-Islamic reform. On the other hand, their lack of interest in traditional politics also accelerates people's religious fervour; this is considered another big reason for their popularity. In recent times, the activities of Tablighi Jamaat have expanded considerably in the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Through the efforts of the Tablighi people, a great awakening has taken place among the Muslim masses. Moreover, the people's interest in embodying Islam through practice and da'wah has increased anew. However, this paper considers analytical and qualitative research based on secondary data to give a detailed account of how Tablighi Jamaat's spiritual movement has received greater acceptance in Muslim society.

Authors: Gebreyesus Samuel Atsibha
Published: April 2022

The study examined the factors affecting the effectiveness of government expenditure budget management in the case of Ethiopia's Ministry of Finance. The general objective of this study was to assess the factors affecting the effectiveness of expenditure budget management, in carrying out its budget administration responsibilities, ensuring the proper application of laws and regulations, ensuring public accountability, and promoting transparency in the use of government resources. A descriptive survey research design was employed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Closed-ended questionnaires and interviews were collected from MOF staff. The respondents were chosen using stratified and purposive sampling techniques. The survey questionnaire was distributed to 93 people, but only 76 of them responded, yielding an 82 percent response rate. The information was then quantitatively analyzed with Pearson's correlation, multiple linear regression analysis, and descriptive statistics using SPSS 23 versions. In Ethiopia's ministry of finance, the researcher found that there is a significant positive relationship between laws and regulations, budget expert competency, and integrated financial management information systems with budget expenditure management. There is a problem with the MOF salary scale that attracts and retains qualified and experienced experts. Government budget laws and regulations have a significant effect on government budget management. MOF has weaknesses in updating and revising budget laws and regulations. In terms of IFMIS applications, the Ministry uses IFMIS to prepare and execute the budget; however, there is still room for improvement in personnel knowledge and expertise for the effective implementation, operation, and maintenance of IFMIS. The Ministry of Finance should provide training on government budget management, public financial management, and government accounting systems to budget specialists and legislative organs of public accounts standing committees.
