O LOCAL E O UNIVERSAL COMO ESPAÇOS DE FORMAÇÃO EM PAULO FREIRE
Authors: Gelpi Ettore
Published: June 2018

O texto marca uma análise realizada na literatura publicada concernente a Paulo Freire, com ênfase nos sujeitos ativos de sua reflexão, que são os trabalhadores. Mostra que, tanto no Brasil quanto na América Latina, há um aumento do trabalho precário e do trabalho feminino, com uma frequente desvalorização das qualificações e dos salários. Mostra o interesse crescente em reatualizar o pensamento de Paulo Freire e salienta o enfraquecimento de estudos sobre ele e sobre a ênfase da dimensão política forte, que é a marca  maior de suas reflexões ao defender a ação educativa. O trabalho permite refletir que o interesse de Paulo Freire pelo enraizamento da ação educativa nas comunidades e por uma relação direta com a população não era de tudo separado de seu interesse pelo universal. Enfatiza que é muito difícil, ou, até, verdadeiramente impossível compreender a interpretação de seu respeito pelo local ou o regional como uma rejeição ao universal.Palavras-chave: O trabalho com força de luta.

BREVES REFLEXÕES SOBRE O PERSONALISMO EM EMMANUEL MOUNIER
Authors: Braga Lélio Favacho , Severino Antônio Joaquim
Published: June 2018

Este ensaio, de cunho bibliográfico e teórico, traz uma breve reflexão sobre o personalismo em Emmanuel Mounier. O objetivo é de buscar o sentido que as pessoas atribuem ao pensamento desse autor, como um ser-com-o-outro, e a noção de comunidade como uma estrutura social mais adequada para o ser humano efetivar sua natureza relacional. Das posições personalistas, conclui-se que a liberdade e a responsabilidade são vistas como necessárias para o sujeito não ser objetificado em seu existir real, considerando que a pessoa é alguém no mundo, e na relação com o outro, constrói sua história. É da ruptura dessa relação que decorrem os contrassensos da humanidade, a alienação e a miséria material do ser humano. Como o personalismo não é somente uma explicação teórica da condição existencial, mas também uma vontade sobre o homem, nasce daí a exigência do compromisso prático com vistas a desalienar o ser humano em Mounier. Palavras-chave: Emmanuel Mounier. Personalismo. Pessoa. Construção Humana.

Claves de lectura sobre la crisis argentina del año 2001. La encrucijada de las ciencias sociales
Authors: Montero Ana Soledad , Cané Mariana
Published: June 2018

Desde el campo disciplinar de las ciencias sociales se ha producido una multiplicidad de estudios vinculados a la “crisis del 2001”, cuyas interpretaciones han colaborado con los procesos de sedimentación de sentidos en torno a qué características e implicancias ella comportó. Procuraremos, entonces, recomponer un mapa de dichas claves de lectura no solo por el interés que despierta la crisis como proceso complejo, sino también porque allí se pueden rastrear elementos que ayuden a echar luz sobre las formas en que se estudiaron posteriormente los gobiernos kirchneristas e incluso el triunfo del PRO/Cambiemos en las elecciones presidenciales de 2015.
El poder de los gobernadores en la política nacional: evidencias del control sobre los diputados nacionales
Authors: Theaux Flavia , Fernandez Gioino Mauricio , Arias Agustín
Published: June 2018

En Argentina, se viene estudiando de manera creciente el tema del poder de los gobernadores en la política nacional. Varios autores explican este fenómeno a partir del supuesto control que los mismos ejercen sobre el voto de los legisladores nacionales. Estos obedecerían las instrucciones del gobernador debido a su notable incidencia sobre las candidaturas al Congreso Nacional. A pesar de que no carece de lógica, dicha asunción no posee un sustento empírico sólido. Es por ello que en este trabajo se explora esta idea con mayor detalle, presentando evidencias que permitan estimar cuántos de los diputados nacionales, pertenecientes al partido o alianza oficial de su provincia, responden efectivamente al gobernador. Este estudio, realizado para el período 2003-2013, se basa en consultas a expertos, de todo el país, que conocen las realidades políticas locales. De acuerdo a la evidencia obtenida, existe una diversidad de situaciones en cuanto a la relación entre los gobernadores y los diputados nacionales, muchas de las cuáles no se condicen con lo afirmado en la literatura actual sobre el tema. De esta forma, se obtuvo una aproximación al grado de control efectivo de los gobernadores argentinos hacia “sus” diputados nacionales, con conclusiones estimativas acerca del peso real que tiene este recurso político en el proceso de policymaking.

Published: June 2018

The total electron impact ionization cross sections of the acetylene molecule
have been measured in the incident electron energy range from threshold to
1000 eV. These results are compared with other existing data, obtained by
direct measurements of this molecular property or by indirect ones, via the
partial ionization cross sections for the formation of different ions. Using
three semiempirical equations, the total ionization cross sections were
calculated and compared to available data, too. Direct and dissociative
ionization cross sections were also calculated by a semiempirical equation
and compared to existing data.

OBJECTIVE

To examine whether gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), independent of subsequent diabetes, is an early risk factor for renal impairment long term after the index pregnancy.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In the Diabetes & Women’s Health (DWH) study (2012–2016), we examined the independent and joint associations of GDM and subsequent diabetes with long-term renal function among 607 women with and 619 women without GDM in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) index pregnancy (1996–2002). At median follow-up of 13 years after the index pregnancy, serum creatinine (mg/dL) and urinary albumin (mg/L) and creatinine (mg/dL) were measured, from which estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (mL/min/1.73 m2) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) (mg/g) were derived.

RESULTS

Compared with women without GDM or subsequent diabetes, women with a GDM history had significantly higher eGFR even if they had not subsequently developed diabetes (adjusted β-coefficient [95% CI] = 3.3 [1.7, 5.0]). Women who had a GDM history and later developed diabetes (n = 183) also had significantly higher UACR [exponent β = 1.3 [95% CI 1.1, 1.6]) and an increased risk of elevated UACR (≥20 mg/g) [adjusted relative risk [95% CI] = 2.3 [1.1, 5.9]) compared with women with neither. After adjusting for potential confounders including prepregnancy BMI and hypertension, GDM without subsequent diabetes was not related to UACR.

CONCLUSIONS

Women who develop GDM in pregnancy were more likely to show increased eGFR levels 9–16 years postpartum, which could indicate early stages of glomerular hyperfiltration and renal damage. However, only those who subsequently developed diabetes showed overt renal damage as evidenced by elevated UACR.

Published: June 2018

With the growing price of lithium material and associated safety concerns, there is an urgent need for developing new efficient, cost-effective battery systems as a successor for lithium ion batteries. Metal-air batteries have drawn huge attention and interest as energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy density when Al, Zn, Ni, and Fe are used. In particular, Al-air batteries have the potential to become a promising primary battery system with their relatively low prices and significantly high energy density. In this paper, the authors report a printed Al anode for Al-air battery combined with a laser sintering method. The anode was fabricated by Al nanoparticle ink using squeezing printing. Furthermore, a laser sintering method was applied to remove the organic solvent in the slurry and increase the conductivity of the printed anode. By application of infrared laser sintering, the authors significantly improved electrical conductivity of Al nanoparticles and electrochemical performance of Al-air cells. A Pt/C coated hydrophobicity carbon paper was used for the air cathode to provide a good electrical conductivity, an oxygen flow ability, and the water vapor sealing. Gel-style KOH was introduced as the electrolyte, and waterways were also utilized in the chemical reaction. The authors show a full battery cell with a printed Al anode on flexible substrates. This microbattery can provide a 227 mWh/g energy density and a 239 mAh/g capacity at an operation voltage of 0.95 V.

Through several projects in Slovenia, e-learning materials have been developed over the last decade, with some primary and secondary schools already using them successfully in their educational processes for several years. The objectives of this research were to analyse the development of e-learning materials, in particular the process of creating e-textbooks, to identify experiences in the use of e-learning materials and to determine their availability on the market. In order to understand the development process, our research involved the creation of i-textbooks. The problems we encountered during the creation of i-textbooks are presented in this article. The results showed that teachers are satisfied with the use of previously developed e-learning materials. They also agreed that traditional textbooks cannot be replaced completely by e-textbooks. However, they do represent an important motivation tool that assists them in facilitating the transfer of knowledge and helps learners to better understand and learn the contents of different subjects. The e-learning materials present on the Slovenian market are freely accessible or require payment, depending on the editor. A great deal of e-learning materials is also inactive, as was emphasised in our research.

A standard color gamut can be obtained with CMYK samples that are printed with an offset printing system according to the ISO 12647-2:2013. It is possible to enhance or widen the color gamut during the printing process by interfering with the density and dot gain characteristics. Printing with a wider color gamut provides a more vivid area and more depth in color. In this study, print trials were conducted at first with standard values (density, dot gain and such). Then another trial was conducted by changing the density values respectively during the trial. Ink density values for all colors were decreased from the standard value as -0.15D, -0.30D and then increased as +0.15D, +0.30D. Color gamuts of the trials were calculated and compared at the end. It is found that ink density values directly affect color gamut in offset printing. It is also found that the color gamut decreases equally when ink density values decrease and vice versa. However, some printing problems occurred with high density values even though it gave an expanded color.

The present work investigated the current state of letter writing methods in the emerging field of engineering education and identifies difficulties experienced by scholars and educators who have been involved in teaching the subject Engineering Graphics. Most of the students are not able to follow the methods that are used to write letters since technical lettering being written in graphs by various authors of engineering drawing do not follow a specific procedure, and no standard practice is maintained so far. After thorough discussions with faculty members and students, it was identified that the difficulties with lettering were: d/h ratio and, curvatures. The ratio of height versus width of the capital letters varies in different ways which appear to produce a sense of confusion among engineering students and practitioners. The curvatures of various letters are not standard and are very difficult to remember. This took our interest for investigation, and a new method of lettering was developed and proposed, which is very simple, easy to remember and provides a standard method to be followed.

PHOTOLUMINESCENCE EMISSION OF Cu DOPED ZnS MICROSTRUCTURES SYNTHESIZED BY THERMAL EVAPORATION
Authors: Nguyen Van Nghia
Published: June 2018

Cu doped ZnS microstructures were prepared by the thermal evaporation method using ZnS powder and CuCl2.2H2O powder as precusor materials. The microstructures was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The XRD studies indicated that there are two phases (ZnS and ZnO) at the undoped sample, but  most of the samples are only having wurtzite (hexagonal) phase of ZnS after doping. The photoluminescence emission and photoluminescence excitation of ZnS and Cu2+ doped ZnS microstructures have been studied. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of  ZnS microstructures is present around 374 nm. After doping of Cu2+ ion the absorption wavelength shifted towards the lower wavelength, this blue shift in the absorption edge is a measure of increased band gap. The emission spectrum of pure ZnS has a green emission band centred at around 520 nm. After doping with Cu2+ ion the luminescence centers were transferred to 516 nm and a strong blue peak at 440 nm appears. The reasons of these will be discussed in this paper.
The zeta potential measurements in sandpacks saturated with monovalent electrolytes
Authors: Duy Thanh Luong
Published: June 2018

Measurements of the zeta potential in sandpacks saturated with monovalent electrolytes at six different electrolyte concentrations have been reported. The values we record are classified into two groups based on the magnitude of the zeta potential: group 1 (samples S1 and S2) and group 2 (samples S3 and S4). The measured zeta potential in magnitude in group 1 is much smaller than that in group 2 and in literature at the same electrolyte concentration. The reason for a big variation of the zeta potential between group 1 and group 2 may be due to the difference in technique of making sand particles of different size leading to change of particle surface properties. Consequently, the zeta potential that depends on the surface properties would vary. The results show that there is a gradual decrease in the zeta potential with increase in monovalent electrolyte concentration (from 10−4 M to 10−2 M). Additionally, the empirical expressions between the zeta potential and electrolyte concentration are obtained in this work for both group 1 and group 2. The obtained expression for group 2 is in good agreement with those available in literature. From the experimental data in combination with a theoretical model, the binding constants for Na+ and K+ cations are obtained for the samples of group 2 and they are in the same range reported in literature for silica-based samples.
Facial hydrothermal route of graphene and titanium dioxide nanotube composite with enhanced green light emission at ~ 530 nm
Authors: Nguyen Xuan Sang
Published: June 2018

Herein we report a simple fabrication of graphene and titanium dioxide nanotube composite using hydrothermal method. Photoluminescence emission of the composite were investigated to study defect states in bandgap of nanotubes when the content of graphene varied from 1 wt% to 8 wt%. With the content of graphene lower than 5 wt%, the photoluminescence spectra form of the composite showed similar to that of pristine titanium dioxide nanotube. When the content of graphene reached 8 wt%, the emission positions were unchanged. However the spectrum form was dramatically changed, the intensity of green emission at about 530 nm was dominated. Thanks to the formation of graphene and titanium dioxide nanotube, excited electron was easy to diffuse from nanotube to graphene. The recombination of excited electron and trap hole on nanotube surface induced by oxygen vacancy in titanium dioxide anatas phase was enhanced which was attributed to the 530 nm emission.

Self-Transformations of Health Professionals in the Field
Authors: Lachance Josée , Hovey Richard B. , Desbiens Jean-François
Published: June 2018

Health does not arise from health care. Perhaps we are facing an impasse and should we reconsider and reconceptualize the mandate of the health system. In order to improve our influence on the culture that often prevails in our institutions as well as the health of those institutions. This article examines the changes to the mandate of the health system seen in the light of self-transformations. This vision is based on a model that illustrates the transformations experienced by physicians following a mind-body training, i.e. Awakening the Sensible Being (ASB). The model shows the transformation process reported by physicians, after experiencing self-awareness of what they are doing, through experiencing the ASB, while developing a closer relationship with themselves. As it turned out, the training was beneficial for their health. Their expanded sense of self-awareness and quality of “savoir-être” brought on by the training contributes to their impression of “feeling whole” and provides them with a quality of presence that influences the type of care they can provide to their patients by considering the individual as a whole. This point of view could bring about a shift in the mandate of the health system and improve the health of caregivers and care-receivers as well, while contributing to widen the concept of health.
A perceptual calibration method to ameliorate the phenomenon of non-size-constancy in hetereogeneous VR displays
Authors: Dorado José , Chardonnet Jean-Rémy , Figueroa Pablo , Merienne Frédéric , Hernández Tiberio
Published: June 2018

The interception of the action-perception loop in virtual reality [VR] causes that understanding the effects of different display factors in spatial perception becomes a challenge. For example, studies have reported that there is not size-constancy, the perceived size of an object does not remain constant as its distance increases. This phenomenon is closely related to the reports of underestimation of distances in VR, which causes remain unclear. Despite the efforts improving the spatial cues regarding display technology and computer graphics, some interest has started to focus on the human side. In this study, we propose a perceptual calibration method which can ameliorate the effects of non-size-constancy in heterogeneous VR displays. The method was validated in a perceptual matching experiment comparing the performance between an HTC Vive HMD and a four-walls CAVE system. Results show that perceptual calibration based on interpupillary distance increments can solve partially the phenomenon of non-size-constancy in VR.

The experimental tests are conducted on test rig supplied with a test section to simulate the water cooled double pipe heat exchanger, which is designed and constructed in the present work. “The experimental results have revealed that, the heat flux and mass flux have significant impacts on the heat transfer coefficient. “The heat transfer coefficient was increased with increase in heat flux and mass flux at prescribed test conditions, where the enhancement in heat transfer coefficient was about 47% and 14% for relatively higher heat flux and mass flux, respectively. “The enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was about 51% for relatively lower saturation temperature 45.97˚C and 43% for higher vapor quality 0.88 compared to other values at constant test conditions. “The pressure drop was higher in the range of 12% and 49% for relatively higher mass flux and heat flux respectively. “The present work results have validated by comparison with predictive models and with similar research work results and the comparison has revealed  an acceptable agreement.
Mathematical Modelling of Magnetic Abrasive Machining Hybrid Operation: A Review
Authors: Al-Shafaie Saad Hameed
Published: June 2018

One of the hybrid operations is called Electrolytic Magnetic Abrasive Machining (EMAM), developed from two essential operations namely Electrochemical Machining (ECM) and Magnetic Abrasive Machining (MAM). EMAM takes advantage of both the operations for preferable machining performance and limits of electrically conductive materials. The workpiece may be cylindrical or flat either on both (internal or external) surface. Despite a few experimental setups have come up but the scope for performance evaluation of developed indigenous setup still remains open. Present study highlights mathematical modeling of process conditions and performance measure for EMAM operation. The unaccustomed performance possibility of EMAM operation at achievement level is in open research for a particular experimental machine. Therefore, mathematical modeling has been abstracted to certain best performance of machining experimental conditions.

Chinese postgraduate professional degree education has undergone 26 years of development, and has achieved a great progress. But compared with the developed nations in the world, China is still in its infantry stage, and needs to learn from the western developed countries’ experiences in this field. This paper makes a comparative analysis of the differences between China and UK in postgraduate professional degree education. It finds that there are significant differences between the two countries in the aspects of programme setting, schooling duration, admissions, curriculum design, teaching delivery, quality control system, etc. The findings imply that China should try to give more authority to universities in programme setting and admissions, and Chinese universities should innovate ways of teaching delivery and systems of quality control.
CENGİZ AYTMATOV’UN ESERLERİNDE ANLATIM TEKNİKLERİNİN KURGUYA OLAN ETKİSİ
Authors: KARSLI Ezgi
Published: June 2018

Özet

            Anlatma
eylemi insanın kendini ifade etme mecburiyetinden doğmuştur. Yazar da
anlatısında olaylardan hareketle hep bir şeyleri ifade etmeye çalışır.
Anlatmaya bağlı edebî eserlerin temelinde yatan özellik budur. Farklı anlatım
tekniklerini kullanarak bir olayı ifade eden yazar, anlatma eylemini
gerçekleştirir. Bu bakımdan anlatım tekniklerinin kullanımı roman ve hikâyenin
yapısını oluşturan önemli bir etkendir. Bu teknikler bir tema etrafında
birleşerek okuyucuya verilmek istenen mesaj iletilir. Farklı tekniklerin
anlatıda kullanılması anlatıyı güçlendirir. Bu tekniklerin kullanımı aynı
zamanda yazarın üslubunu belirler.

 Her yazarda olduğu gibi Cengiz Aytmatov da
farklı anlatım tekniklerini kullanarak eserlerini kaleme almıştır. Çalışmamızda
Aytmatov’un roman ve hikâyelerinde hangi anlatım tekniklerini tercih ettiğini ve
bunların yazarın roman ve hikâyelerinde şahıs oluşturma ve zaman ve mekân
kullanımındaki gücü gösterilmeye, dolasıyla  kurguya olan etkileri belirlenmeye
çalışılacaktır.

Tanıtımını ve değerlendirmesini
yapmaya çalıştığımız eser, W. Bang ve A. V. Gabain tarafından 1929’da
yayımlanan, daha sonra R. R. Arat, S. Tezcan ve M. Knüppel tarafından üzerinde
çalışılan Türkische Turfan-Texte serisinin ilk cildinin yazar tarafından
farklı isimlendirilmiş ve yeniden neşredilmiş şeklidir. Bunlardan Bang-Gabain,
Arat ve Şen’in çalışmalarında metnin tamamı, diğer çalışmalarda ise metnin bir
bölümü neşredilmiştir. Yazar bir fal kitabı olan bu eser hakkında geniş
bilgiler vermenin yanında, metindeki bazı tartışmalı noktalarla ilgili
düşüncelerini ifade etmiş ve yeni yaklaşımlarda bulunmuştur. İncelediğimiz çalışmanın
belki de en önemli özelliği, eserle ilgili daha önce yapılan çalışmaların değerlendirilmiş
olması ve aynı hususlar üzerine farklı görüşlerin okuyucuya bir arada
sunulmasıdır. Biz bu incelememizde Körüm Bitig adlı eserin tanıtımını
yapmanın yanında, daha önce metinlerin tamamının neşrinin yapıldığı iki çalışma
ile bu çalışmayı karşılaştırarak farklı okuyuşları belirteceğiz.

KÖKTÜRK KAĞANLIK YAZITLARINDA YÖNETİM: FİİLLE KURULMUŞ SÖZCÜKLER
Authors: EKER Özge
Published: June 2018

Bu
çalışmada Köktürk Kağanlık yazıtlarında fiille kurulan söz varlıklarından
hareketle bir anlam çerçevesi/kavram alanı oluşturulmaya çalışılacaktır.
Hareket, oluş ve tavır bildiren filler bir dili oluşturan en önemli unsurdur.
Fillerin çokluğu ve çeşitliliği bir dilin zenginliğinin göstergesidir.
Toplumların yaşam tarzları onların temel söz varlıklarına da yansır. Köktürkler
de göçebe bir yaşam şekline sahiptir. Köktürklerin göçebe hayat şekilleri VIII.
yüzyıldaki üç büyük yazıta da yansımıştır. Köktürk yazıtlarına bakıldığında
fiillerin oldukça fazla olduğu görülür. Fiiller arasında anlam ekseninin kolay
sağlanabilmesinin nedenini ise; Köktürklerin konar-göçer yaşam tarzlarına
bağlayabiliriz. Aynı anlama gelen ya da aynı anlam eksenine sahip fakat biri
diğerinden daha özel anlamlar içeren eylemler vardır. Bu çalışmada öncelikle
idare etme, organize etme, bir araya getirme anlamına gelen fiillere yer
verilmiştir. Bu fiillerin öncelikle temel anlamlarını belirlemeye çalıştık.
Aynı eylemlerin geçtiği bağlamları üç Köktürk Kağanlık yazıtlarından alarak
örneklendirmeler yapmaya çalıştık. Daha sonra bu fiillerin oluşturduğu anlam
çerçevesini bir şema üzerinde vermeye çalıştık. Bu çalışmada Köktürk Kağanlık
yazıtlarındaki eylemlerden yola çıkarak idare/yönetim anlam çerçevesini alt
anlam ve üst anlam konularından da yararlanarak çizmeye çalıştık.

yer alan Amasya ağzı, bugüne kadar üç yüksek lisans tezi, iki bitirme tezi, bir
kitap ve bir makaleye çalışma konusu olmuştur. Yapılan bu çalışmalar daha çok
metin derleme ve yazıya aktarımı ve metinler üzerinde yapılan ses-şekil bilgisi
incelemelerinden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmaların sadece birkaçında sözlük

Vatican Radio and Modern Propaganda
Authors: Perin Raffaella
Published: June 2018

The essay deals with the employment of Vatican Radio as a modern instrument, which supplied the Catholic Church with a tool of modernisation. A special focus is put on the changes, in terms of method and content, that the radio effected in the apostolate. In order to demonstrate the increasing importance acquired by Vatican Radio for the diplomatic and propaganda aims of the Holy See, it will be considered the case-study of the condemnation of the Croatian anti-Semitic laws during World War II.
« Perfidie judaïque » : un débat sur l’accueil de la modernité dans l’église
Authors: Menozzi Daniele
Published: June 2018

The Essay focuses on the Debate about the Good Friday Prayer for the Jews from the pontificate of Pius XI to the Pontificate of John XXIII. The Question arises from the modern historical and philological research about the Roman Liturgy. It was discovered that the Word ‘perfidious’ – attributed to the Jewish People – had in the language of the first Christian Centuries a doctrinal and theological meaning, not a moral one. The subsequent demand of a reform in that liturgical Prayer had a dual objective: to adequate the Church to the modern culture and to avoid a catholicsupport to the growing Antisemitism. The formal request made by the Society Amici Israel to the Holy See was refused in 1929, but the discussion on the subject went on for decades until the decision of Pope John XXIII to delete that word in 1959.
Living the Gospel in History
Authors: Vian Giovanni
Published: June 2018

The study examines the attitude of Roncalli faced with the problem of renewal and reform of the Church. New researches tend to detect the proximity of the young Roncalli to some instances of Catholic reformers of the early twentieth century, despite the harsh condemnation of modernism by Pius X (1907). Roncalli paid attention to history, at least in part considered in terms other than those proposed by the intransigent Catholicism. The propensity of Roncalli to grasp the positive aspects of history is clearly revealed during his pontificate, as in the opening speech Gaudet Mater Ecclesia at the Vatican II Council and in other texts, but it was hampered by conservatives in the Curia.
John Paul II’s Canonization Policy
Authors: Ciciliot Valentina
Published: June 2018

During his pontificate John Paul II proclaimed 1342 beati and 482 saints, such a large amount that it accounts for more than half of the sanctifications across the entirety of Catholicism stretching back to the Congregation of Rites (1588). Along with such fruitful use of sanctification came a certain planning that was not only pastoral in nature, but also political, in the broadest sense of the term. The essay aims to analyse how under John Paul II’s pontificate the traditional concept of holiness began to mutate, taking on multiple functions, while its concrete manifestations – beatifications and canonisations – became active instruments of ecclesiastical government.
Identité, islam et catholicisme allemand
Authors: Baudry Pierre
Published: June 2018

This papers analyses the speech by Benedict XVI at the University of Ratisbonne. I focus on a often overlooked aspect of this speech: the critic of Modernity and the general perspective for the future of religions. Benedict XVI develops an analysis of the place of the Church through the concepts of ‘faith’, ‘reason’, ‘violence’. The apologetic tone is clear: only the Catholic Church has maintened a “reasonable religion“ according to the Pope. But he defends an international perspective for the Church in a globalised world and sketch a manifesto for Catholicism in a multicultural civilisation.
