Semi-Automatic Creation of Resilience Dictionary for Strengths-based Text Analysis of Online Mental Health Forums (Preprint)
Authors: Kang Yong-Bin , McCosker Anthony , Kamstra Peter , Farmer Jane
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

Resilience is an accepted strengths-based concept responding to change, adversity and crisis that involves a range of environmental, social and personal adaptive factors. The concept underpins both personal and community-based preventative approaches to mental health issues and has shaped digital interventions. Online peer-support mental health forums have played a prominent role in enhancing resilience by providing accessible places for sharing lived experiences of mental issues and finding support. Despite the significance and viability of such forums for complementing mental health care, there has been little research on whether and how resilience is realised, hindering service providers’ ability to demonstrate impact.

OBJECTIVE

This paper aims to create a resilience dictionary that reflects the characteristics and realisation of resilience within online mental health peer-support forums. The findings can be used to guide further analysis and inform strengths-based moderation and management of mental health forums.

METHODS

A semi-automatic approach to creating a resilience dictionary is proposed using topic modelling and qualitative content analysis. We present a systematic four-phase analysis pipeline that pre-processes raw forum posts, discovers main themes being discussed in the posts, conceptualises resilience indicators, and resilience dictionary creation. Our approach is applied to online peer-support mental health forums from 2018 to 2020 in SANE Australia, where 70,179 forum post data used by 2,357 users were collected and explored in this study.

RESULTS

The resilience dictionary and taxonomy developed in this study, reveal: (1) how resilience indicators (i.e., “social capital”, “belonging”, “learning”, “adaptive capacity”, and “self-efficacy”) are characterised by themes commonly discussed on the forums; (2) each theme’s top-10 most relevant descriptive terms and their synonyms; and (3) the relatedness of resilience, reflecting a taxonomy of indicators that are more comprehensive (or compound) and indicators that are more likely to facilitate the realisation of others. The study also presents the four-phase analysis pipeline that constructs a resilience dictionary from new forum datasets. Further, this study identifies the resilience indicators “learning”, “belonging” and “social capital” are more commonly realised resilience indicators, and "learning" and "belonging" serve as foundations for the realisation of “self-efficacy” and “adaptive capacity” across the two-year study period.

CONCLUSIONS

This paper presents a resilience dictionary that improves our understanding of how aspects of resilience are realised in online mental health forums. The dictionary provides novel guidance on how to improve training to support and enhance automated systems for moderating mental health forum discussions.

Authors: Li Chaoran , Liu Jusheng , Qian Guanyu , Wang Ziyi , Han Jingti
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND

With the informatization development and digital construction in the healthcare industry, electronic medical records (EHR) and Internet medicine has facilitated people’s medical treatment. Sharing the patient’s medical data can help doctors to diagnose the patient more accurately and comprehensively. However, in reality, doctors in different hospitals are not able to access the patients’ EHR in other hospitals, resulting in information silos. Furthermore, the current centralized data storage method has the risk of medical data loss and leakage.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to design a medical blockchain system to realize effective and secure medical data storage and sharing in different offline medical institutions and online medical platforms, and realize online and offline hybrid medical applications to solve the problem of medical information interconnection and resource sharing.

METHODS

This study used combined private blockchain and consortium blockchain to design a medical blockchain double-chain system (MBDS). Proxy re-encryption (PRE) and public encryption with key search (PEKS) technology were used to improve security, effectiveness and privacy of the constructed blockchain system.

RESULTS

This system can store encrypted health and medical information in distributed storage mode and integrate the health and medical information of patients in offline medical institutions and online medical platforms, to achieve equality, credibility, and data sharing among participating nodes. The MBDS system and the proposed online and offline hybrid medical treatment mechanism incorporated online medical care services into the current healthcare system and provided new solutions and practical guidance for the future development of collaborative medical care.

CONCLUSIONS

The MBDS system helped to solve the problems of medical information interconnection and resource sharing, improve the efficiency and effect of disease diagnosis, alleviate the contradiction between doctors and patients, and facilitate personal health management.
Muscle Protein Oxidation and Functionality: A Global View of a Once-Neglected Phenomenon
Authors: Xiong Youling L.
Published: April 2022

Muscle is a highly organized apparatus with a hierarchic microstructure that offers the protection of cellular components against reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, fresh meat immediately postmortem and meat undergoing processing become susceptible to oxidation due to physical disruption and the influx of molecular oxygen. Upon the activation by endogenous prooxidants, oxygen species are rapidly produced, and both myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins become their primary targets. Direct ROS attack of amino acid sidechains and peptide backbone leads to protein conformational changes, conversion to carbonyl and thiol derivatives, and subsequent aggregation and polymerization. Interestingly, mild radical and nonradical oxidation enables orderly protein physicochemical changes, which explains why gels formed by ROS-modified myofibrillar protein have improved rheological properties and binding potential in comminuted meat and meat emulsions. The incorporation of phenolic and other multifunctional compounds promotes gel network formation, fat emulsification, and water immobilization; however, extensive protein modification induced by high levels of ROS impairs protein functionality. Once neglected but now recognized to be a natural occurrence, protein oxidation has drawn much interest and is being intensively studied within the international community of meat science. This review describes the history and evolution of muscle protein oxidation, the mechanism and functionality impact hereof, and innovative oxidant/antioxidant strategies to control and manipulate oxidation in the context of meat processing, storage, and quality. It is hoped that the review will stimulate in-depth discussion of scientific as well as industrial relevance and importance of protein oxidation and inspire robust international collaboration in addressing this underappreciated challenge.

Published: April 2022

En esta memoria se plantea un tema importe no sólo académica sino social: la relación entre etnicidad, democracia y autonomía en su aspecto general, y de los pueblos indios en particular. A partir del levantamiento indígena armado en el mes de enero de 1994 en Chiapas cobra relevancia y crea la necesidad de un debate que permita esclarecer los dilemas a los que se enfrenta la sociedad mexicana en su conjunto. Las preguntas que se plantearon los estudiosos, los representantes de las organizaciones y el público asistente, son de amplio contraste y revelan profundas contradicciones. Desde la discusión, por ejemplo, entre la Rusia zarista, Lenin y otros académicos, respecto a la posibilidad o imposibilidad de la existencia de cooperativas bajo el capitalismo, hasta otras contradicciones como las divisiones y guerras étnicas en Yugoslavia, la manipulación existente en países que buscan la emancipación; la dominación de sistemas políticos tipo apartheid que se han denominado "autónomos", en Sudáfrica; de reservaciones en Estados Unidos y del resto de América del Norte anglosajona, se circunscriben a los procesos sociales de lucha por la autonomía y la democracia.

Published: April 2022

Abstract: The disposal of industrial waste or by-products has become more difficult and expensive as a result of the increasing environmental regulations and shortages of suitable disposal sites. When molten steel is separated from impurities in steel making furnaces, steel slag is produced as a by-product of the process. In the construction industry, steel slag has long been used in various applications in the construction industry such as aggregates in road construction, railway ballast and hydraulic protection structures. Using steel slag for soil stabilization is a modern application of steel slag. In this study the main approach is to investigate the effect of steel slag on the strength characteristics of clayey soil. Steel slag is blended with clayey soil in amounts of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of dry weight. In our study, the optimum content of steel slag was determined by considering the maximum unconfined compressive strength. A series of further laboratory tests have been performed on this optimum mix to evaluate its suitability as a stabilizer material. The test was also conducted with conventional stabilizing material such as l0% fly ash and 5%cement with clayey soil and the obtained optimum mix was determined. Then the results are compared accordingly. In the above study, it has been observed that the addition of steel slag results in significant improvement in strength parameter as compared to fly ash but less strength in case of cement. Also from the cost comparison, it has been observed that cost of optimum mix of steel slag is less as compared to cement. It is therefore used to stabilize clayey soil.

Abstract: Property registration is a subject that hardly ever crosses the thoughts of most people outside of the actual property sector, besides for whilst they’re concerned in an actual property transaction themselves. Even then, it’s typically taken into consideration one of the mundane administrative matters, a rubber-stamping exercise that’s way much less tangibly thrilling than gathering the keys to a brand-new home. However, the critical role of property registration withinside the actual property markets cannot be understated. Property registry in India as well as in many parts of the world is very slow and cumbersome process. The onset of the Blockchain technology inside Bitcoin, has generated a super deal of hobby through displaying a possibility to remove the central floor wished and remodel verbal exchange among humans and machines through growing trust. Originally restrained to the included forex domain, it has created an impact on different sectors as well. Developing a system that now not only accelerates the technique of land registration, however additionally makes it less difficult for Buyers, Sellers and Government registrars to switch the land possession from vendor to a brand new client whilst addressing troubles which include file integrity, privacy, and most significantly the lack of common platforms among concerned organizations. The system that we're seeking to enforce is primarily based on Ethereum Blockchain that will store all the transactions made at some stage in the process of land ownership transfer. Using the idea of smart contracts of blockchain technology we are able to trigger diverse activities like access of land documents to a land inspector and fund transfer event from client to vendor after a successful verification of the land possession switch. Ultimately the motive of this idea is to check the general overall performance of a blockchain primarily based totally on land revenue & recording automation machines. A peer-to-peer tamper-proof and forgeproof network was used for this motive, the use of a Blockchain-accredited permission such as Ethereum network. The system is connected to the Interplanetary File System to manage secure document records. Using the system, validation of the lands is likewise viable as immutable transactions are being saved with inside the public ledger.

School Environment and Academic Persistence of Newcomer Students: The Roles of Teachers and Peers
Authors: Nakhaie Reza , Ramos Howard , Fakih Fatima
Published: April 2022

This paper explores the relationship between the social context of schools, measured in terms of perceptions of teacher support and students’ openness to diversity, and the academic persistence of immigrant and refugee newcomer students. It investigates whether newcomer adolescents’ academic persistence varies by the perceived supportiveness of school environments. Based on data collected from newcomer students in a medium-sized city in Canada, results show that immigrant and refugee youth display higher academic persistence when they perceive that their teachers support them and when their fellow students are receptive to diversity. Specifically, newcomer youth’s educational success depends on a school environment that encourages diversity and inter-group relations and teachers who are supportive of students, encourage them, and believe in them. This study also shows that newcomer youth are more likely to academically persist in school when they perceive that their fellow schoolmates exhibit cultural humility or openness to diversity and thus are interested in knowing more about immigrants’ country of origin, respect them, and interact with them.
Ontario Human Rights Commission Right to Read Report: Sincere, Passionate, Flawed
Authors: Cummins Jim
Published: April 2022

The Right to Read report highlights the fact that children who experience dyslexia are not being adequately supported in Ontario schools. The report’s call for the establishment of a more effective identification and intervention infrastructure within the school system is timely and persuasive. Unfortunately, the Right to Read report advances two unsubstantiated claims to explain the reading difficulties some children experience in the early grades. Specifically, it argues that Ontario schools are failing to teach reading skills effectively for all students, not just those with specific reading disabilities. Second, it attributes this general failure to the fact that most Ontario schools implement a balanced approach to reading instruction, which the report claims, pays insufficient attention to teaching sound/letter correspondences in a systematic, explicit, and intensive way. Neither of these claims is supported by the scientific data. Ontario students are consistently among the top performers in cross-Canada and international comparisons of reading performance. Furthermore, the empirical research is fully consistent with the implementation of a balanced or contextualized approach to literacy instruction that integrates the teaching of sound/symbol relationships with a more general commitment to immerse children into a literacy-rich instructional environment.

In the Qur'an there are many verses that talk about the apocalypse, there are also various interpretations produced by the interpreters. This paper wants to examine the interpretation and understanding of Umar Sulaiman al-Asyqar regarding the doomsday verse, this may be different from other commentators because of the different methods and characteristics of interpretation. This research is a bibliographical study with the data sources being the books of al-Ma'ānī al-Ḥasān fī Tafsīr al-Qur'ān and al-'Aqīdah fi 'i al-Kitāb wa al-Sunnah: al-Qiyāmah al-Kubra. Data was collected through thematic methods), and the analysis was carried out descriptively. The results of the study indicate that Umar Sulaiman interprets the word tafjīr as having the same meaning (synonym) as the word tasjīr which means burning (انفجار) or exploding (انسجار), while previous commentators distinguish the word tafjīr which means mixed up (إختلاط) with the word tasjīr which means lit (إضطرام). Dalam al-Qur’an terdapat banyak ayat yang berbicara mengenai kiamat, terdapat beragam pula penafsiran yang dihasilkan oleh para penafsir. Tulisan ini ingin mengkaji penafsiran dan pemahaman Umar Sulaiman al-Asyqar mengenai ayat kiamat, hal ini berkemungkinan berbeda dengan mufasir lainnya karena metode dan karakteristik penafsiran yang berbeda. Penelitian ini bersifat kepustakaan dengan sumber data kitab al-Ma‘ānī al-Ḥasān fī Tafsīr al-Qur‘ān dan al-‘Aqīdah fi Ḍū’i al-Kitāb wa al-Sunnah: al-Qiyāmah al-Kubra. Pengumpulkan data dilakukan melalui metode tematik), dan analisi dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Umar Sulaiman menafsirkan kata tafjīr  mempunyai persamaan makna (sinonim) dengan kata tasjīr yang diartikan menyala (انفجار) atau meledak (انسجار), sedangkan mufasir terdahulu membedakan kata tafjīr yang diartikan bercampur baur (إختلاط) dengan kata tasjīr yang diartikan menyala (إضطرام).

Comparing Mid-Term Outcomes of Cox-Maze Procedure and Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation After Concomitant Mitral Valve Surgery: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sef Davorin , Trkulja Vladimir , Raja Shahzad , Hooper Joanne , Turina Marko
Published: April 2022

Background: Although concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)
is used more frequently than the Cox-maze procedure, which is currently
the gold standard treatment for AF, data on the comparative
effectiveness of the two procedures after concomitant mitral valve (MV)
surgery are still limited. Objective: We conducted a systematic
review to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational
studies comparing the mid-term mortality and recurrence of atrial
fibrillation (AF) after concomitant Cox-Maze and PVI in patients with AF
undergoing MV surgery based on 12-month follow-up. Methods:
Medline, EMBASE databases, and the Cochrane Library were searched from
1987 up to March 2022 for studies comparing concomitant Cox-Maze and
PVI. A meta-analysis of RCTs was performed to compare the mid-term
clinical outcomes between these two surgical ablation techniques.
Results: Three RCTs and 3 observational studies meeting the
inclusion criteria were included with 790 patients in total (532
concomitant Cox-Maze and 258 PVI during MV surgery). Regarding AF
recurrence, estimate pooled across the 3 RCTs indicated large
heterogeneity and high uncertainty. In the largest and highest quality
RCT, 12-month AF recurrence was higher in the PVI arm (RR=1.58, 95%CI
0.91-2.73). In 2 out of 3 higher quality observational studies, 12-month
AF recurrence was higher in PVI than in Cox-Maze arm (estimated adjusted
probabilities 11% vs. 8% and 35% vs. 17%, respectively). RCTs
demonstrated comparable 12-month mortality between concomitant Cox-Maze
and PVI, while observational studies demonstrated survival benefit of
Cox-Maze. Conclusions: Concomitant Cox-Maze in AF patients
undergoing MV surgery is associated with better mid-term freedom from AF
when compared to PVI with comparable mid-term survival. Large
observational studies suggest that there might be a mid-term survival
benefit among patients after concomitant Cox-Maze. Further large RCTs
with longer standardized follow-up are required in order to clarify
benefits of concomitant Cox-Maze in AF patients during MV surgery.

Carbon storage in plants: a buffer for temporal light and temperature fluctuations
Authors: Cabrera Ana Cristina Zepeda , Heuvelink E. , Marcelis L.F.M.
Published: April 2022

Carbon (C) storage allows a plant to support growth whenever there is a
temporal asynchrony between supply (source strength) and demand of
carbon (sink strength). This asynchrony is strongly influenced by
changes in light and temperature.Traditionally, C storage is considered
as a passive process that occurs whenever there is an excess of C from
photosynthesis compared with the demand of C for metabolism. However,
the role of C storage may vary from being a passive overflow to being an
active process as a strategy of the plant to buffer climate fluctuations
and support long-term growth. Despite numerous experiments that have
advanced our knowledge in the role of C storage in plants, the exact
mechanisms and the consequences at whole-plant level are still limited.
We propose that an active C pool needs to be included in simulation
models for a better understanding of plant growth patterns under
fluctuating environment. The insights gained here are important to
optimize crop performance under fluctuating conditions and thus for
developing more resource-efficient crop production systems.

Uma sociedade tecnicista, egocêntrica, que através de seu estilo de vida caminha para um colapso socioambiental sem precedentes. Relações afetivas mediadas pelo dinheiro, mercantilização da natureza, relativismo prático descontextualizado. Sobreposição do mundo digital ao mundo fí­sico, infâncias e juventudes midiatizadas, instituições descontextualizadas da realidade significante. Qual o papel da educação e dos educadores frente a este cenário? Este é o questionamento ao qual nos conclama pensar o Papa Francisco, através do Pacto Global pela Educação. Neste artigo apresentaremos algumas chaves de leitura sobre este pacto e suas implicações em nossas práticas e missões.
A Urgência de uma Educação Global
Authors: De Oliveira Adelino Francisco
Published: April 2022

O presente artigo, construído em perspectiva mais filosófica e avançando para o campo dos direitos humanos, procura abordar a temática da educação global, sedimentada em quatro dimensões fundamentais: a educação para a cidadania, a educação para outra economia, a educação para a sustentabilidade e a educação para os direitos humanos. A educação global deve formar para uma nova sociabilidade – transformando as relações interpessoais e a base estrutural da sociedade –, atenta à complexidade que define todas as manifestações de vida. Como fundamentos para essa sociabilidade renovada emergem os princípios de alteridade, complexidade, transição ecológica e direitos humanos.
Dialógica
Authors: Araújo de Sousa Alves Lucicleide , Nogueira da Silva Marilene
Published: April 2022

O presente artigo reflete sobre o diálogo, compreendendo-o como um direito de manifestação da palavra, como um processo pedagógico interativo e um estímulo capaz de possibilitar alterações nos modos de aprender, organizar o pensamento e ocorrência de uma modificabilidade cerebral quando integrado a outras estratégias didático-pedagógicas nos processos de aprendizagem. Embasa-se no princípio da ação dialógica proposta por Freire (2005), Morin (2007), Buber (2001) e Síveres (2015), perpassando pelas descobertas da neurociência em diálogo com os saberes da educação que tem demonstrado estudos promissores, haja vista que é por meio do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC) que tudo acontece, segundo Consenza e Guerra (2011). As reflexões engendradas apontam sobre a importância de saber selecionar as informações e transformá-las em conhecimento pertinente pela apropriação dos saberes da neurociência para avanços no fazer docente. O desconhecimento sobre o processo de como o cérebro melhor aprende interfere nas escolhas das estratégias a serem utilizadas nos processos educativos que poderão possibilitar o acontecimento da aprendizagem com mais eficácia.  E apresenta o diálogo integrado com diversas estratégias como possibilidade de favorecer o desenvolvimento dos processos neurocerebrais e a ocorrência da neuroplasticidade.

Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência docente com o gênero discursivo memória na disciplina de Língua Portuguesa em uma universidade privada no Distrito Federal, como caminho para se refletir sobre a construção de projetos de vida plena na universidade com vistas a mitigar entraves à permanência discente na universidade. Parte-se do princípio de relatos de experiência em Bondía (2002), dos prospectos das aprendizagens de diálogo com as vivências de mundo (FREIRE, 2011) e os reflexos que complexidade (MORIN, 2011) tem neste processo. Quanto às memórias, assume-se o que preconizam Almeida (2010), Ferrari e Magalhães (2014), Girard e Silva (2018) e Freud (1915). A relevância dos relatos de vivência se deve ao sentido que as memórias abrem para a construção de projetos de vida por meio dos diálogos que elas propiciam da vida do estudante com letramentos exigidos na formação universitária. Pelos relatos partilhados, abre-se caminho para refletir sobre o ensino do gênero memória como meio de reconhecimento do universitário com a vida acadêmica, apropriando-se cada vez mais do seu espaço na universidade para a transformação de sua vida e desenvolvimento da sociedade.
Apparent winterkill of Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta)
Authors: Seburn David , Burns Mackenzie , Akinrinola Iyanuoluwa , Cecile Sara , Farquharson Thomas , Hung Charlotte , McIntyre Payton
Published: April 2022

Around the margin of an artificial pond in Ottawa, Ontario, we found 25 Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta) that appeared to have died over the course of two winters (17 during the first winter and eight during the second). We examined meteorological data to try to determine the cause of the mortality. Summer and fall rains were only slightly below normal in both years, suggesting water levels should have been close to normal. The winter air temperature was warmer than normal and winter snowfall was slightly above normal in both years. Unseasonable weather does not appear to be responsible for the winter mortality and the pond’s maximum depth of 1.7 m should prevent freezing to the bottom. It is possible that the artificial nature of the pond creates suboptimal overwintering habitat, rendering the site an ecological trap; however, there is no direct evidence to support this theory. It is also possible that winter mortality of turtles is widespread at temperate wetlands, but that dead turtles were more detectable at this site because of the bare shoreline around the pond. Winter mass mortality events, if common, may represent an additional threat to turtle populations, which are declining from various anthropogenic threats.
The "Fear of God" in the Book of Ecclesiastes
Authors: LONGMAN TREMPER
Published: April 2022

The phrase "fear God" appears seven times in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:14; 5:7 [Heb., 5:6], 7:18; 8:12 [twice], 13; 12:3). The present study examines each use and determines that there are two different forces to the expression that are discerned by the context and that inform the theology of the two voices of the book. Qohelet, whose voice dominates the body of the book (1:12–12:7), encourages his listeners to be afraid of God and do their best to avoid drawing God's attention. After all, life is meaningless and God is no help. The frame narrator (1:1–11 and 12:8–14) encourages his son (12:12; and thus other readers) to combine the fear of God (understood as reverent awe) with obedience to the law.
Rhetorical Criticism in Old Testament Studies
Authors: HOWARD, DAVID M.
Published: April 2022

Rhetorical criticism in Old Testament studies—indeed, in biblical studies in general—had its origins in a self-conscious way in 1968, when James Muilenburg issued his now-famous call to go beyond form criticism and focus upon the unique features of a text. Since then, biblical rhetorical criticisms have flourished. However, in Old Testament studies, rhetorical criticism has tended to be primarily a literary concern, with emphasis upon stylistics. Classical and contemporary rhetorical criticisms are very different, however. These focus particularly upon the suasive aspects of spoken discourse. This paper reviews the history of rhetorical criticism in Old Testament studies and in the field of speech and rhetoric, comparing and contrasting approaches. It then issues a call to biblical scholars to practice a truly "rhetorical" criticism, based upon speech and persuasion.
Where Have All the Prophets Gone? The "Disappearing" Israelite Prophet Against the Background of Ancient Near Eastern Prophecy
Authors: GORDON R. P.
Published: April 2022

While the phenomenon of the "disappearing prophet" has become a feature (indeed function) of some modern approaches to Israelite prophecy, at the same time the profile of Syro-Mesopotamian prophecy has been becoming increasingly clear, and there are now definite cognates for the basic Hebrew word for "prophet". Against this background it is argued that, though eighth century prophets like Amos and Hosea may not have been much interested in the title "prophet" (and not surprisingly, when the cognate term was used for non-Israelite prophets), they nevertheless saw themselves functioning as such. No single aspect of Israelite prophecy marks it out as distinct from its near eastern cultural equivalents; its obvious distinctiveness derives from Israel's unique perception of God.
The Mesopotamian Background of the Tower of Babel Account and Its Implications
Authors: WALTON JOHN H.
Published: April 2022

This paper investigates the history of ziggurats and brick making as well as the settlement patterns and development of urbanization in southern Mesopotamia. Gen 11:1–9 is interpreted in light of this information, and the conclusion reached is that the tower, as a ziggurat, embodied the concepts of pagan polytheism as it developed in the early stages of urbanization. Yahweh took offense at this distorted concept of deity and put a stop to the project. The account is seen against the backdrop of the latter part of the fourth millennium in the late Uruk phase.
The Focus of Mark 13:24–27: The Parousia, or the Destruction of the Temple?
Authors: HATINA THOMAS R.
Published: April 2022

Mark 13:24–27 is often interpreted as a prediction of the parousia at the consummation of history. In this article the author proposes that these verses, derived entirely from OT texts, metaphorically refer to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. The first part of the article provides the narrative context by focusing on the genre and structure of Mark 13 along with the chapter's narrative proximity to Jesus' criticism of the Temple hierarchy in chapters 11–12. The second part of the article explores the function of cosmic portents, the coming of the Son of Man and the gathering of the elect as they appear in the OT and subsequent exegetical traditions. The temporal function of this language provides an important precedent for its function in Mark.
The Book of Esther: "Opus non gratum" in the Christian Canon

The book of Esther tends to be an unaccepted book in Christendom. Indeed, Martin Luther expressed contempt for Esther, claiming that it is spoiled by too much "pagan impropriety." Such denigration, however, is ultimately based on a serious misreading of this OT book. Esther offers readers an insightful satire of the pagan world and yet at the same time provides a glimpse of the dangers the Jewish people have faced in the diaspora.
The Language and Logic of Virtue in 2 Peter 1:5–7
Authors: CHARLES J. DARYL
Published: April 2022

Although the polemical development of 2 Peter mirrors interaction between Stoic and Christian moral thought-worlds, the moral grammar of the Stoa employed by the writer in 2 Peter 1 expresses a distinctly Christian qualification. The readers are reminded that a profession of faith without ethical fiber is wholly incommensurate with their gracious calling. The rhetorical effect created by the progression and climax of the catalog of virtues in 2 Pet 1:5–7 can be understood to reflect a concrete situation in which there has been a fundamental ethical breakdown. In addressing this crisis the writer appropriates paraenesis and a standard hortatory device to underscore the necessity of the moral life.

The "Protevangelium of James" as an Alleged Parallel to Creative Historiography in the Synoptic Birth Narratives
Authors: QUARLES CHARLES L.
Published: April 2022

This article contrasts the compositional techniques used in the Synoptic birth narratives with those used by the author of a work which is almost universally recognized as midrashic, the Protevangelium of James. While "James" created his "history" from OT narratives, he was apparently unaware of the many OT dependencies in the Synoptic Gospels asserted by midrash critics. Unlike the Synoptic writers, the author of the Protevangelium of James created some of his narrative by retrojecting words and events from the later ministry of Christ into his account of Jesus' birth. These disparate compositional techniques suggest that the Synoptic Gospels and the midrashic Protevangelium of James belong to different literary genres.
The Codex and the Early Collection of Paul's Letters
Authors: RICHARDS E. RANDOLPH
Published: April 2022

The early Christian predilection for the codex may be a major key to understanding how Paul's letters were collected. Ancient letter-writers routinely kept personal copies of their letters. These personal copies were often kept in codex notebooks. Paul probably followed this custom. The "collection" of Paul's letters was not the result of any deliberate second-century effort to collect the letters of Paul. There was probably no early veneration of Paul or any early appreciation of Paul's letters. Rather, Paul had a personal set of copies with him in Rome. After his death, these copies with his other personal effects were passed down to his disciples. The later (second-century) publication of Paul's letters arose from these copies rather than the dispatched copies.
Recent Research on the Parable of the Wicked Tenants: An Assessment
Authors: SNODGRASS KLYNE R.
Published: April 2022

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Mark 12:1–12) remains in the spotlight as one of the most debated—and misunderstood—parables of Jesus. Three factors lead to failure in understanding this parable: (1) ignoring its OT and Jewish context; (2) the desire on the part of interpreters to avoid any thought of judgment; and (3) the desire to avoid any correlation with Jesus. It is concluded that this parable is a juridical parable, modeled after Isaiah's juridical parable, or song, of the vineyard (Isa 5:1–7), which passes judgment against the ruling priests of Jerusalem.
The Last Supper in Matthew
Authors: HAM CLAY
Published: April 2022

The Synoptic Gospels and 1 Corinthians provide a reliable tradition of the memorable words and actions of Jesus at the Last Supper. A comparison of these four accounts reveals the most notable detail in Matthew's account: Jesus' blood of the new covenant is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. This saying over the cup explains Jesus' death according to Isaiah 53 and Jeremiah 31, while its wording has been influenced by Exodus 24. In the context of Matthew's Gospel, the three themes of prophet, righteous sufferer, and new community anticipate the Last Supper account.
Creation, Genesis 1–11, and the Canon
Authors: SAILHAMER JOHN
Published: April 2022

The compositional strategy of Genesis 1–11 is reflected in the shape of the Pentateuch as a whole. It appears that the author of Genesis 1–11 is the author of the whole Pentateuch. His views can be seen in the way programmatic poetic texts have been distributed throughout the pentateuchal narratives. Explanatory comments inserted into the ancient poems, such as "in the last days" and "ships shall come out from the Kittim," reflect an overriding interest in an eschatology similar to that of the late prophetic literature—for example, Ezekiel and Daniel. A central purpose of the eschatological framework of the Pentateuch is to bring the whole of Genesis 1–11 into the realm of Israel's own history and thus prepare the way for an understanding of concepts such as the Kingdom of God in terms of the concrete realities of creation.
The "Son of Man" Passages in Mark
Authors: KIRCHHEVEL GORDON D.
Published: April 2022

The fourteen "Son of Man" passages in Mark fall into three groups. Mark 1–6 portrays Jesus as the authoritative "Son of Man" perceived in Psalm 8. In Mark 8–14 there are nine "Son of Man" passages that portray Jesus as the suffering servant of the Lord perceived in Isa 52:13–53:12, even following the sequence of that passage. The three passages in Mark that predict that the "Son of Man" will come again were inspired by Isa 5:26–30, where Jesus is perceived coming "with a great force" of angels. Isa 5:30 forecasts "clouds," and so does Mark 13:26; 14:62. The words attributed to John in Mark 1:7 cannot be linked to Daniel 7, because the allusion was to Isa 5:26–30. Mark 12:6 even portrays Jesus as the "beloved" son perceived in Isa 5:1.
Ascertaining Women's God-Ordained Roles: An Interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:15
Authors: KÖSTENBERGER ANDREAS J.
Published: April 2022

Puzzling as it is, the statement of 1 Tim 2:15, "Women will be saved through childbearing," is a significant passage regarding the issue of women's God-ordained roles. After an initial survey of the passage's history of interpretation, the essay is devoted to a detailed investigation of the phrase σωθήσεται διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας. Subsequently, the present passage is interpreted in light of a major but thus far overlooked theme found in 1 Timothy. The article concludes with a brief discussion of some implications for the contemporary church and culture.
The Tilted Balance: Early Rabbinic Perceptions of God's Justice
Authors: PHILLIPS ELAINE A.
Published: April 2022

The fundamental biblical and rabbinic principle for the application of justice is lex talionis or "measure for measure" (מדה כנגד מדה). The balance represented in this formulation is a requirement for human judicial proceedings. Beyond this, it serves in early rabbinic texts as the basis for both singular statements and complex literary structures that demonstrate that God Himself acts according to the principle. Retribution for enemies is כנגד מדה מדה and reward for those who are obedient is likewise measure for measure. Even so, while the principle is explicitly cited with regard to God's actions, the actual מדה כנגד מדה punishments and rewards that the rabbis discovered in the biblical text are measure for measure in kind but not in intensity. There is frequently a greater degree of punishment than the crime objectively warranted for sins of offenders who are enemies of God and His people. On the other hand, measure-for-measure rewards for those who are beloved of God also match in kind but, in fact, are greatly increased over the "just desert." The very process of constructing the complex literary schemata, spanning biblical history, taught a profoundly necessary lesson about faithfulness and continuity in God's dealing with His people. This background illuminates the instances in which this expression is used in the Gospels.
The Old Testament Background of Paul's Reference to "the Fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians 5:22
Authors: BEALE G. K.
Published: April 2022

"The fruit of the Spirit" in Gal 5:22 and its manifestations appear to be a general allusion to Isaiah's promise that the Spirit would bring about abundant fertility in the coming new age. Uppermost in mind are Isaiah's repeated prophecies (especially chap. 32 and, above all, 57) that in the new creation the Spirit would be the bearer of plentiful fruitfulness, which Isaiah often interprets to be godly attributes such as righteousness, patience, peace, joy, holiness, and trust in the Lord, traits either identical or quite similar to those in Gal 5:22–23. Paul's rhetorical effect and thematic emphasis are increased by the readers' being able to situate themselves as those who are part of the dawning eschatological promises made to Israel, and hence they are true Israelites who play a significant role in this cosmic redemptive-historical drama. If they are really part of this drama, then they will pay heed to Paul's exhortations.
The Angels under Reserve in 2 Peter and Jude
Authors: CHARLES J. DARYL
Published: April 2022

In both 2 Peter and Jude, the reader encounters the rebellious angels, a paradigm of hard-heartedness that appears frequently in Jewish tradition. In both epistles, OT characters and events (and exegetical traditions extending from them) are paraenetic rather than didactic in nature. That is, they are illustrative and serve as moral types to warn the reader. In their function the rebellious angels constitute an important weapon in the rhetorical arsenal of both writers. Despite similarities in their appearance, they function in slightly different ways in the two epistles, suggesting a literary-rhetorical strategy that is unique to each writer.
