Cross-cultural Pragmatic Failure in Moroccan EFL learners’ Requests
Authors: Bousfiha Adiba , Laabidi Abdelfattah
Published: August 2023

“Most of our misunderstandings of other people are not due to any inability to hear them or to parse their sentences or to understand their words…. A far more important source of difficulty in communication is that we so often fail to understand a speaker’s intention”

   (Miller in Thomas 1983:92)

The concern in this paper is with such situations where we fail to understand “what is meant by what is said” thus with situations of pragmatic failure especially in an area of cross-cultural communication. Undoubtedly, these are situations where the actual use of language for the maintenance and preservation of social harmony among interactants depict clearly cross-language variations and interference. The discussion will revolve around such basic issues as: a) how interactional events in intercultural communication establish relationships between participants marking dimensions of social distance, status and politeness, b) the effects which different linguistic forms in different languages can have on the performance of the foreign language learner and c) basically the implications of all this for the teaching of the pragmatic competence to the non-native speakers of English, with special reference to the teaching of English at the university level in the Moroccan context.

Keywords: Intercultural communication; politeness; pragmatic failure; Requests.

Published: August 2023

An 11-year-old girl presented with an extremely rare complication of Meckel's diverticulum. The patient presented with complaints of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and non-bilious vomiting for 20 days with a history of mass protruding per rectum. Examination revealed a distended abdomen and prolapsing bowel loops during rectal examination, resembling intussusception. Radiological findings indicated intestinal obstruction. Surgical exploration revealed Meckel's diverticulum invading the rectum, accompanied by dense inter-bowel adhesions. The patient underwent resection of Meckel’s diverticulum and repair of the rectal rent. This case highlights the rarity of Meckel's diverticulum fistulating into the rectum.
Uso del analisis multivariado para investigar el desarrollo de la carrera academica de los bibliotecarios
Authors: Arellano Filiberto Felipe Martínez
Published: August 2023

El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue identificar aquellos factores asociados con el desarrollo de la carrera académica de los bibliotecarios en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Diversas variables relacionadas con educación y experiencia, factores burocráticos, actividades institucionales, factores disciplinarios, cultura académica, factores sociales y factores institucionales fueron establecidas como elementos explicativos de las diferencias en promoción, definitividad y salario. Una encuesta fue el instrumento de recolección de los datos en esta investigación para probar e identificar las variables asociadas con los logros académicos y salarios de los bibliotecarios. Puesto que el estudio analizó diversas variable en un contexto multivariado, la interacción entre éstas fue probada usando análisis de regresión múltiple. Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de aquellos factores que influyen en la carrera académica de los bibliotecarios. Asimismo, la metodología de este estudio podría ser utilizada en otras investigaciones similares dentro de la Bibliotecología y Ciencias de la Información.

Published: August 2023

Introdução: Infere-se que as possibilidades de tratamento do câncer de mama possuam diversos impactos na autoimagem do corpo e na função sexual feminina. Portanto, é necessário que se compreenda essa relação, visando fornecer o melhor método cirúrgico, suporte e qualidade de vida possíveis. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto dos diferentes tratamentos cirúrgicos do câncer de mama na função sexual e autoimagem feminina. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico quantitativo. Foram entrevistadas 65 mulheres que realizam acompanhamento no Hospital de Esperança entre o período de Janeiro de 2022 a Julho de 2022.  Os critérios de inclusão utilizados foram: (1) Diagnóstico histopatológico de câncer de mama; (2) Idade superior a 18 anos; (3) Tratamento cirúrgico oncológico da mama completo; (4) Atendimento no Hospital de Esperança; (5) Assinatura do termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido. Os instrumentos para coleta de dados utilizados foram: questionário do Quociente Sexual - Versão Feminina, escala de autoestima de Rosenberg e Escala de silhuetas de Stunkard. Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos submetidos à mastectomia ou à quadrantectomia quanto ao desempenho sexual, autoestima e autoimagem. Todavia, mais da metade dessas mulheres (52,3%) apresentam desempenho sexual nulo a desfavorável. Ainda, cerca de 1/3 das mulheres entrevistadas tem baixa autoestima (27,7%) e mais de 2/3 estão insatisfeitas com sua imagem. Conclusão: Mulheres mastectomizadas foram mais afetadas no quesito desempenho sexual. Quanto a autoestima, ambos os grupos consideraram em ter boa autoestima, porém, o nível de satisfação com o próprio corpo mostrou-se deficitário em todos os tratamentos.

Published: August 2023

Legacy of Sunan Gunung Djati Existing in Cirebon are mosques and palaces which are full of pre-Islamic material elements, both architecturally and objects from the past. This paper aims to explore pre-Islamic material elements in the Cirebon palace and analyze their meaning. The method used in this research is explorative-descriptive, namely one of archaeological research, research by exploring the place under study to look for the desired problem and try to describe it. Based on research, it can be concluded that: first, there are many pre-Islamic elements including, the Barong Lion Train (a train used for the purposes of the sultans), Kamasutera Carvings (reliefs depicting sexual activities), Nandi Statues (vehicles of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parwati), Lingga Yoni (Phallus symbolizing the male genitalia; Yoni symbolizes female genitalia), Bentar Temple (the entrance building of a temple-shaped temple that is split in half), the Derum Elephant Statue on the water (Gajah Derum Tirta Linuih; shows 1458 Saka), the Garuda Statue wrapped around a Snake (Bujnagga Ratu Obahing Bumi; shows 1618 Saka), The Firearms relief Monument (Braja Asta Rasaning Bumi: 1625 Saka), Lotus or Lotus (spiritual symbol symbolizing purity),  The Garuda Mina stretcher (a vehicle for the sultans' children to be circumcised), Surya Majapahit (found on the mihrab of the Great Mosque of Cirebon; is the symbol of the Majapahit Kingdom), Ganesaha Carvings (scientific symbols in Hindu mythology), and Jaladwara (a hole to release water in a temple). Secondly, the existence has the meaning of friendship with other countries at that time such as China, India, and Arabia, it was found on the Barong Lion Train. In addition to this, the existence of pre-Islamic elements is a process of acculturation carried out by Sunan Gunung Djati to captivate the hearts of the people of Cirebon to know and embrace Islam.
Chain Epistemologis Mufasir Pesantren Terhadap Interpretasi Aḥrūf Muqaṭṭa’ah Perspektif Historis
Authors: Mukhlisin Yusuf
Published: August 2023

The debate on interpretation of aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah is still debated by commentators to this day. Some scholars do not interpret aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah with the argument that these verses are sirr al-Qur'ān and mutasyabihat verses. Others argue that aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah must have a meaning that needs to be explored and interpreted as an effort to show the aspect of guidance (huda) in the Qur'an. This study does not attempt to clash the two groups above. The author focuses on the historical aspects of the meaning of aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah and its epistemology. Through Abdul Mustaqim's periodization mapping model, it can be concluded that the interpretation of aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah has been made since the early era of Islam (Prophet Muhammad's phase). In this phase, the interpretation of aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah, apart from coming from insiders, was also carried out by outsiders of Muslims. Meanwhile, from the perspective of Abid al-Jabiri's epistemology, there was almost no significant epistemological development from the early to the modern phase. Each period continues to use the bayani epistemology model, with one of the characteristics of the interpretation model through history being the dominant current. As for the form of interpretation of aḥrūf muqaṭṭa'ah, it can be categorized into three models of history, language analysis, and numerical formulation (ḥisāb al-jummal). These three models also influence the interpretations of Indonesian mufasirs.
"Lights under a Bushel": a digest of highly cited papers from Construction Economics and Building
Authors: Brewer Graham
Published: August 2023

There are times when a new editor ponders the iron triangle of quality submissions, readership, and citations, and how to improve them. It was during such a musing that a colleague from UTS/OJS pointed out that this journal had produced a suite of highly cited papers that was continuing to grow. They went on to illustrate the point with a list that stopped at a lower limit of 30 citations, observing that there was every likelihood that further good, recently published papers would continue this habit, given sufficient time (3-5 years).

 

Grateful for their observations I scanned the list and was buoyed by the thoughts that these papers were a product of their time (i.e. highly relevant, reflecting topics of contemporary and ongoing concern), clearly well executed – conceptually and methodologically – and written in an engaging style. They were, and self-evidently continue to be read and cited, though the issue of growing our readership continues to be a challenge.

 

In a world of burgeoning journal titles, many of which appear to be predatory in nature it can become necessary to remind readers of this tome that it is a valuable venue for the best of their research. The cost to publish and quality of the publication should be evident from its homepage, but that quality research within its pages can achieve high citation rates only becomes apparent once the reader searches for topics of interest to them. This digest is simply a reminder of what this journal – and those who support it with their time and effort – is all about.

 

This selection of papers has been assembled from issues since the journal transferred online and adopted its current title. To reiterate, an arbitrary cut-off of 30 citations (Scopus) has been applied for the sake of brevity, though it is clear that there are more recent papers that are on target to match and exceed this citation score in the near future. Moreover, only bibliographic details and abstracts are included in this section; DOIs take the interested reader to the full paper.

Optimizing the Automotive Security Development Process in Early Process Design Phases
Authors:   , Jakobs Christine
Published: August 2023

Security is a relatively new topic in the automotive industry. In the former days, the only security defense methods were the engine immobilizer and the anti-theft alarm system. The rising connection of vehicles to external networks made it necessary to extend the security effort by introducing security development processes. These processes include, amongothers, risk analysis and treatment steps. In parallel, the development of ISO/SAE 21434 and UN-ECE No. R155 started. The long development cycles in the automotive industry made it necessary to align the development processes' early designs with the standards' draft releases. This work aims to design a new consistent, complete and efficient security development process, aligned with the normative references. The resulting development process design aligns with the overall development methodology of the underlying, evaluated development process. Use cases serve as a basis for evaluating improvements and the method designs. This work concentrates on the left leg of the V-Model. Nevertheless, future work targets extensions for a holistic development approach for safety and security.
Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Corruption Dynamics in Kenya
Authors: Muriithi Muthoni F. , Mutuku Winifred
Published: August 2023

This study presents a mathematical model that aims to study corruption in Kenya. The model is validated both epidemiologically and mathematically, with all solutions demonstrating positivity and boundedness within a meaningful set of initial conditions. By investigating unique corruption-free and endemic equilibrium points, as well as computing the basic reproduction number, we assess the system’s behavior. Our analysis reveals that a locally asymptotically stable corruption-free equilibrium point is achieved when the reproduction number is below one, while a locally asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium point is attained when the reproduction number exceeds one. Simulation results confirm the agreement with analytical findings. This research enhances our understanding of corruption dynamics and provides valuable insights for designing effective anti-corruption strategies in Kenya.
The Mediating Role of Customer Satisfaction in the Relationship Between Product Trust, Perceived Value, Price Fairness, and Purchase Decisions : an Empirical Study of Telecomcel Company in Timor-Leste
Authors: Saldanha Estanislau De Sousa , Bahar Yogi Rizkian , Barreto Domingos M.B.
Published: August 2023

This study aims to investigate the relationships between product trust, perceived value, price fairness, customer satisfaction, and purchasing decisions based on the existing marketing literature. The study develops 10 hypotheses that propose direct relationships between product trust, perceived value, price fairness, customer satisfaction, and purchasing decision. Additionally, the study proposes a mediating role for customer satisfaction in the relationships between the other variables. The study collected data from 178 randomly selected Telkomcel customers in Timor-Leste through a survey. Smart-PLS was used to assess the validity, reliability, and test the hypotheses. The results strongly support all the hypotheses, highlighting the importance of product trust, perceived value, and price fairness in shaping customer satisfaction and purchasing decisions. This study provides insights for future research in this area.
Properties of exopolymeric substances (EPSs) produced during cyanobacterial growth: potential role in whiting events
Authors: Martinho de Brito Marlisa , Bundeleva Irina , Marin Frédéric , Vennin Emmanuelle , Wilmotte Annick , Plasseraud Laurent , Visscher Pieter T.
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) are an important organic carbon reservoir in many pelagic and benthic environments. The production of EPS
is intimately associated with the growth of phyto- and picoplankton. EPS plays a critical role in carbonate precipitation through the binding of
cations and by acting as a nucleation site for minerals. Large-scale episodes of fine-grained calcium carbonate precipitation in the water column
(whiting events) have been linked to cyanobacterial blooms, including of Synechococcus spp. The mechanisms that trigger these precipitation
events are still debated. We pose that the cyanobacterial EPS, produced during exponential and stationary growth phases, plays a critical role in the
formation of whitings. The aim of this study was to investigate the production of EPS during a 2-month cyanobacterial growth, mimicking a
bloom. The production and characteristics of EPS were examined in different growth stages of Synechococcus spp. using various techniques
such as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as well as colorimetric and sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) assays. We further evaluated the potential role of EPS in carbonate precipitation through
in vitro-forced precipitation experiments. EPS produced during the early and late stationary
phase contained a larger amount of negatively charged groups than present in EPS produced during the exponential phase. Consequently, a higher
Ca2+-binding affinity of the stationary-phase EPS led to the formation of a larger amount of smaller carbonate minerals
(< 50 µm) compared to crystals formed in exponential-phase EPS, which were less abundant and larger (> 50 µm). These
findings were used to establish a conceptual model for picoplankton-bloom-mediated CaCO3 precipitation that can explain the role of EPS in
whitings.
Optimal enzyme allocation leads to the constrained enzyme hypothesis: The Soil Enzyme Steady Allocation Model (SESAM v3.1)
Authors: Wutzler Thomas , Reimers Christian , Ahrens Bernhard , Schrumpf Marion
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Describing the coupling of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and carbon (C) cycles of land ecosystems requires understanding microbial element use efficiencies of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. These efficiencies are studied by the soil enzyme steady allocation model (SESAM) at decadal scale. The model assumes that the soil microbial communities and their element use efficiencies develop towards an optimum where the growth of the entire community is maximized. Specifically, SESAM approximated this growth optimization by allocating resources to several SOM degrading enzymes proportional to the revenue of these enzymes, called the Relative approach. However, a rigorous mathematical treatment of this approximation has been lacking so far. Therefore, in this study we derive explicit formulas of enzyme allocation that maximize total return from enzymatic processing, called the Optimal approach. Further, we derive another heuristic approach that prescribes the change of allocation without the need of deriving a formulation for the optimal allocation, called the Derivative approach. When comparing predictions across these approaches, we found that the Relative approach was a special case of the Optimal approach valid at sufficiently high microbial biomass. However, at low microbial biomass, it overestimated allocation to the enzymes having lower revenues compared to the Optimal approach. The Derivative-based allocation closely tracked the Optimal allocation. The model finding that the Relative approach was a special case of the more rigorous Optimal approach together with observing the same patterns across optimization approaches increases our confidence into conclusions drawn from SESAM studies. Moreover, the new developments extend the range of conditions at which valid conclusions can be drawn. The new model finding that a smaller set of enzyme types was expressed at low microbial biomass led us to formulate the constrained enzyme hypothesis, which provides a complementary explanation why some substrates in soil are preserved over decades although often being decomposed within a few years in incubation experiments. This study shows how optimality considerations lead to simplified models, new insights and new hypotheses. It is another step in deriving a simple representation of an adaptive microbial community, which is required for coupled stoichiometric CNP dynamic models that are aimed to study decadal processes beyond ecosystem scale.

Improbidade administrativa e um estudo acerca da amplitude e subjetividade do art. 11 da Lei nº 8.429/1992: análise de um recorte jurisprudencial do Tribunal de Justiça de Santa Catarina
Authors: Pinheiro Denise , Verônica Pereira de Souza Verônica x
Published: August 2023

Corruption and misconduct in public office, prevention and combat are constant objects of studies about Public Administration, considering the negative impact on the democratic order, public interests and public policies. There is not exactly a legal concept for acts of administrative improbity, but Law No. 8.429/92 – The Administrative Improbity Act – known as LIA, presents a typology so that its configuration can be identified, dividing them into: acts that imply illicit enrichment (art. 9); acts that cause damage to the Treasury (art. 10); and acts that violate the principles of Public Administration (art. 11). The present study is related to the research developed by the research project “Prevention and fight against corruption: the contribution of the systematization of data related to acts of administrative improbity in the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of Santa Catarina (2015-2017)”, developed by SAPIENTIA – Research Group for the Study of Social and Organizational Transformations. The incidence of the LIA articles was identified, used as grounds for the initial petition of actions of misconduct in public office, with the objective of identifying which of them were more frequent, being the target including the innovations brought by Law No. 14.230/21, which made profound changes to the legal regime for acts of administrative improbity. The relevance of the research is justified by the fact that it corresponds to a period that preceded the Law No. 13.655/18, which included provisions on legal certainty and efficiency in the creation and application of public law in the Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Act.
Consequencialismo jurídico e desconsideração da personalidade jurídica: aplicação nos processos de controle externo
Authors: De Nadal Herneus João , Rheinheimer Daniel Augusto
Published: August 2023

The court of audit has a relevant role in the protection of public assets, in observance with their constitutional duties. In this context, there has recently discussion about the application of the disregard doctrine in external control processes, in order to safeguard public funds. The hypothesis to be analyzed with the deductive method is the study of the possibility or not of the application of this measure by the audit courts. This analysis takes into account the Law No. 13.655/2018, which determines that the practical consequences of the decision to be made must be observed, positivizing consequentialism in the national legal system.
Administração pública e o incentivo à inovação na nova lei de licitações: reflexões sobre um novo paradigma para o controle das contratações públicas
Authors: de Paula Rodrigo Francisco
Published: August 2023

A Lei nº 14.133/2021, que veicula normas gerais em matéria de licitações e contratações públicas, passa a prever, como um dos objetivos do processo licitatório, o incentivo à inovação e ao desenvolvimento nacional sustentável (art. 11, inc. IV), além de instituir uma nova modalidade de licitação – o diálogo competitivo – para a contratação de objeto que envolva inovação (art. 32). O incentivo à inovação pelo Estado ganhou grande importância com o advento da Emenda Constitucional nº 85/2015, que tornou competência comum entre os entes federados proporcionar meios de acesso à inovação (art. 23, inc. V, da Constituição Federal) e inseriu a inovação, ao lado do desenvolvimento científico, da pesquisa, e da capacitação científica e tecnológica, como área a ser incentivada pelo Estado (art. 218 da Constituição Federal). Se o incentivo à inovação pelo Estado pode ser efetivado mediante diversos tipos de políticas públicas, por exemplo, com o financiamento de pesquisas e de capacitação científica e tecnológica para o desenvolvimento científico, consoante estabelecido na Lei nº 10.973/2004, esse mesmo incentivo à inovação constitui, agora, um dos objetivos do processo licitatório: ou seja, as licitações públicas para a aquisição de bens, a contratação de serviços e de obras deverão perseguir essa finalidade. Assim, a administração pública, nas contratações para atender as suas necessidades, deve buscar soluções inovadoras, de modo a incentivar que seus fornecedores desenvolvam bens e serviços ou executem obras que sejam resultado de inovação.
Uma nova perspectiva: a análise dos dispute boards como mecanismos alternativos de resolução de conflitos aplicado aos contratos de infraestrutura
Authors: Bobsin de Moraes Arthur , Calegari Luiz Fernando
Published: August 2023

This essay has as its object the analysis of dispute boards as a new perspective of Public Administration, with a more consensual performance, through models and acts with different actors of society. A brief introduction will be made on the current paradigm of Administration, without the objective of studying the models of Administration. After demonstrating the change in perspective, the essay will focus on the dispute board institute, a method for resolving disputes involving contracts of great complexity and economic importance, as with infrastructure contracts agreed by the Public Administration. Finally, this article will examine the use of dispute boards in public works using as an example a comparison between two works, one in which the mechanism was used (São Paulo City Metro) and one in which it was not used (Ponte Hercílio Luz in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina), intending to demonstrate that they can bring efficiency to infrastructure.
DIGITAL KITAMBO: DECOLONISING NARRATIVES AND BRINGING THE PAST INTO THE FUTURE AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUMS OF KENYA
Authors: Wright Kristina Dziedzic , Wright David K. , Wiltshire Nicholas , Lavin Jenna
Published: August 2023

The Swahili word ‘kitambo’, which refers to occurrences in the past that are understood to be at least indirectly connected to the speaker, can be used to describe experimental museology through digital cultural heritage. There is a need to improve access and enhance conservation goals within African cultural heritage institutions, and the National Museums of Kenya (NMK) has been developing innovative technologies and communication tools with the Kenya Heritage Resource Information System (KEHRIS). This paper will discuss Digital Kitambo—a pilot project completed at NMK from 2013 – 2019 to create the spatially integrated database KEHRIS, digitise 10,000 artefacts and specimens from the archaeology and palaeontology collections, and develop digital learning programmes to engage a wider audience.  Qualitative research methodology included participant observation, qualitative interviews and focus groups with museum staff as well as focus groups with primary and secondary teachers to develop curricula for local schools. This paper traces the evolution of Digital Kitambo from its inception and reflects on both the successes and shortcomings of the initiative with particular attention to its goals of decolonising the museum’s collections and contributing to new national narratives by engaging the public through digital initiatives.
LABORATORY OF CONTEMPORANEITY: THE MARCO OF LA BOCA
Authors: Feldman Jonathan
Published: August 2023

This article analyzes the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MARCO) of La Boca, Buenos Aires, opened in 2018 as the city’s second museum to adopt the category of “contemporary”. Among its objectives, it became central to create a space for experimentation, a laboratory where artists could test material and conceptual conditions. At MARCO, the creative processes are shown through open workshops, visits, exhibits, conferences, special events and educational proposals. There’s also a residency program for artists from all over the country to create artworks in situ, slightly merge the roles of artist and public since visitors affect the work of art by their presence during production, while interaction is encouraged by not isolating or glass-boxing (Wylie, 2020) the “laboratory” or experimental space from the exhibitionary complex, but rather allowing the creation of a space for dialogue and discussion between artists, curators and visitors (Meyer, 2011). Also, the museum encourages innovative formats of production and display, highlighting collaborative work. If for Reinaldo Laddaga (2010) some contemporary productions show fragments of the artists’ lives under controlled conditions, fabricating a laboratory-like aesthetic, then MARCO can be defined as a contemporary museum-laboratory, where experiments are performed with a naked eye to provide a more dialogical experience.

Powstanie Zgromadzenia Służebnic Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego w kontekście społeczno-religijnym Krakowa na przełomie XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Gogola Zdzisław
Published: August 2023

Dobroczynność w Krakowie ma szlachetne tradycje, często sięgające kilkudziesięciu lat wstecz. Przybierała formę zarówno doraźnej, jak i długofalowej pomocy - często hojnych fundacji. Niektóre z inicjatyw w dawnej Polsce przetrwały do drugiej połowy XIX wieku, inne zniknęły wraz z rozbiorami. W ich miejsce powstawały jednak nowe organizacje, które z nową energią wspierały i nadal wspierają potrzebujących. Jednym z przykładów takiej działalności jest Zgromadzenie Służebnic Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego, założone wielkim wysiłkiem św. Józefa Sebastiana Pelczara i Służebnicy Bożej Klasy Szczęsnej. Członkowie tego Zgromadzenia zasługują dziś - z okazji setnej rocznicy włączenia do rodziny franciszkańskiej - na szczególne podziękowanie za obecność i nieustanny wysiłek w realizacji ideałów o. Serafickiego.
Początki i rozwój chrystianizacji Litwy (cz. 2)
Authors: Kosman Marceli
Published: August 2023

Artykuł dotyczy Litwy historycznej, czyli Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, które powstało w drugiej połowie XIII i pierwszej połowie XIV wieku, osiągając apogeum za panowania wielkiego księcia Witolda (1392-1430), który oficjalnie przedstawiał się jako magnus dux. Władysław Jagiełło (zm. 1434), który zastąpił swojego zmarłego ojca Olgierda od 1377 r., używał tytułu dux supremus po wstąpieniu na tron polski w 1386 r. i przekazaniu bezpośredniej władzy w celu wyznaczenia swojego dziedzicznego kraju. Obaj rządzili w ścisłej współpracy ze sobą. Jednak w trakcie ich panowania zasady unii były kilkakrotnie zmieniane, od inkorporacji Wielkiego Księstwa Koronnego (Krewo - 1385) do trwałego zjednoczenia (Horodło - 1413). Do ostatecznej integracji, połączonej z wewnętrznym dualizmem ustrojowym, doszło w 1569 r. (unia lubelska) w obliczu perspektywy wygaśnięcia dynastii Jagiellonów, co ostatecznie nastąpiło trzy lata później wraz ze śmiercią Zygmunta Augusta.
 
Wielkie Księstwo Litewskie zajmowało wówczas około 90% terytorium Rusi, zamieszkiwanego przez ludność prawosławną, której chrystianizacja w porządku zachodnim rozpoczęła się pod koniec X wieku. W średniowieczu przetrwały jednak znaczące ślady pogaństwa, co wyjaśnia, dlaczego badacze używali terminu "podwójna wiara" (dvojevierije) w odniesieniu do tego okresu. W 1596 r. (unia zawarta w Brześciu nad Bugiem z inicjatywy Stolicy Apostolskiej) religia wschodnia została podporządkowana katolicyzmowi, co wywołało silny opór i podzieliło wiernych "religii ruskiej", wyznawców starej religii prawosławnej (disuniatów) i tych zależnych od Rzymu (uniatów). W tym czasie (od 1569 r.) Podlasie, jako część Rzeczypospolitej, odłączyło się od Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego i, podobnie jak Wołyń, Kijowszczyzna i Podole na Ukrainie, weszło następnie w skład Korony. Choć Litwa nadal posiadała ziemie białoruskie, zmieniły się proporcje między oboma narodami (1:2). Te ostatnie były już dobrze zintegrowane w sferze kulturowej, choć od XV w. ruskość stopniowo wypierała polonizację magnaterii i zamożnej szlachty. Było to szczególnie widoczne w sferze religijnej w okresie kontrreformacji, tj. w czasach reformacji katolickiej.
Głównym tematem naszej rozprawy jest proces chrystianizacji historycznej katolickiej Litwy, który można podzielić na następujące etapy: 1) nieudana próba wyrzeczenia się pogaństwa w połowie XIII w., 2) chrzest Górnej Litwy (Aukśtaitija) w 1387 r. i Żmudzi w 1413 r. oraz jego konsekwencje, 3) burza zapoczątkowana reformacją protestancką w XVI w., 4) kontrofensywa Kościoła i odrodzenie katolicyzmu do upadku polskiej szlachty, 5) okres porozbiorowy po 1795 r., 6) kształtowanie się nowoczesnego narodu litewskiego w ostatniej ćwierci XIX w., 7) kształtowanie się nowoczesnego narodu litewskiego w ostatniej ćwierci XIX wieku i odrodzenie państwa po I wojnie światowej.
Religia stała się przedmiotem konfliktów etnicznych. Po zawarciu przez oba kraje konkordatów ze Stolicą Apostolską w 1925 r. stare struktury organizacji kościelnej, sięgające czasów stanu szlacheckiego, zostały zlikwidowane.

W komunikacie zaprezentowano obraz przedstawiający Chrystusa na krzyżu, otoczonego narzędziami męki, będący bez wątpienia wytworem jednego z XIX-wiecznych warsztatów tzw. obraźniczych. Ze względu na to, że obraz ten reprezentuje nieco ambitniejszy nurt tego rodzaju twórczości, a ponadto jest nieźle zachowany, postanowiono w formie komunikatu odnotować jego istnienie.

Marketing activities are actually very noble activities because these activities always bring up ideas and creativity to approach, innovate, change and update in many ways. However, when these activities experience disorientation and tend to pursue instant profits, then sometimes these noble and ethical marketing activities turn into stupidity, fraud and rottenness. This phenomenon is what we often see in the world of business and enterprise. We should be able to position the marketing function with ethical and moral values (akhlaqul karimah) so that there are no more deviations that undermine the values and blessings of marketing itself. The concept of prophethood (Nubuwwah) is very relevant as a reference in overcoming current business problems, namely by using a sharia marketing strategy that is carried out by paying attention to consumer needs, good product quality, always available when needed (available) and according to consumer expectations (expectations), promotions are carried out directly and continuously (sustainable), and innovate according to consumer needs.
