‘De-kinning’
Authors: Luo Jialing
Published: August 2023

Focusing on the collective memories and life stories of local people regarding their courtyard house siheyuan in the old town of Beijing, this article examines how the dramatically shifting state discourses influence inheritance practices and perceptions of kinship over time in modern China. Narratives of the siheyuan constructed by the elderly residents feature extended family vis-à-vis a ‘Confucian state’, favouring male heirs during pre-revolutionary times. Siheyuan were nationalised during the following period of high socialism, when men and women were granted equal rights in property. After being returned to their former owners in the post-Mao reform era, the dilapidated siheyuan were confronted by neoliberal privatisation and commercialisation. Despite the physical survival of the siheyuan, it is now common for siheyuan siblings to turn against each other, as people struggle over shares of their suddenly valuable but neglected ancestral home. Departing from Freedman's lineage theories and Lévi-Strauss's house society, this article explores house and relatedness in the sense of ‘de-kinning’ as part of China's modernising process. While drawing attention to the subtle continuities and the emergence of new forms of relatedness, it also suggests that the siheyuan dwellers have demonstrated high degrees of resilience and adaptability when coping with the vicissitudes of life.

En s'intéressant aux mémoires collectives et aux récits de vie des résidents des maisons à cours carrées, ou siheyuan, dans la ville de Pékin, cet article étudie comment les discours radicalement changeant de l'Etat influence les pratiques d'héritage et la perception de la parenté dans la Chine moderne. Les récits sur les siheyhuan construites par d'anciens résidents campent la famille élargie sur toile de fond d'un Etat confucéen prérévolutionnaire favorisant l'héritage des mâles. Les siheyhuan ont été nationalisées durant la période socialiste qui a suivi, quand hommes et femmes se sont vus attribuer les mêmes droits à la propriété. Après avoir été rendues à leurs propriétaires dans la période de réforme post-maoiste, les siheyhuan fortement endommagées se sont vues confrontées à la privatisation néolibérale et à la commercialisation. En dépit de la survie physique des siheyhuan, il est désormais commun de voir des fratries possédant une siheyhuan se déchirer pour des parts de ces maisons ancestrales négligées mais devenues financièrement intéressantes. Etudiant ainsi les maisons et la parenté dans le sens de « dé-parenter » comme dimension du processus de modernisation en Chine, cet article attire l'attention sur les continuités subtiles et l’émergence de nouvelles formes de relationnalité. Il suggère également que les habitants de siheyhuan ont démontré un fort degré de résilience at d'adaptabilité devant les vicissitudes de la vie.
Remaining Kin over Time
Authors: Hoëm Ingjerd
Published: August 2023

In the atoll society of Tokelau, intergenerational succession has occurred since approximately 1925 without a concomitant exchange of enduring material objects, with the exception of land. The article explores how a significant increase in material wealth, including more permanent housing, and the ultimate threat represented by climate change, that of losing the land altogether, affects the intergenerational transfer of goods and relationship patterns. The case of Tokelau illustrates how kinning and de-kinning operate in a society where the passing on of property is neither associated with death (inheritance) nor with private property, but with the ongoing transmission of collective belonging and selected, inalienable things.

Dans la société atollienne de Tokelau, la transmission inter-générationelle existe depuis 1925 approximativement, sans échange concomitant des objets matériels durables, ceci à l'exception de la terre. L'article étudie la façon dont ces formes de transmission inter-générationelle de biens et de structures relationnelles sont affectées par l'accroissement de la richesse matérielle, notamment la permanence accrue des habitations, et par la menace que le changement climatique fait peser en termes de perte des terres. Le cas de Tokelau illustre la manière dont le fait de faire parenté ou défaire parenté opèrent dans une société où la transmission des propriétés n'est pas associée avec la mort (héritage), ni avec la propriété privée, mais avec une transmission au fil de l'eau de possessions collectives et de biens sélectifs et inaliénable.

Este produto educacional é resultado de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação e Ensino de Ciências na Amazônia (PPGEECA), pela Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA), contemplada pela linha de pesquisa “Estratégia Educativas para o Ensino de Ciências Naturais na Amazônia”. A dissertação intitulada “Cartilha Educativa Socioambiental: Saberes e práticas da comunidade pesqueira do Distrito de Vila de Beja em Abaetetuba – Pará, como estratégia didática para o ensino de Ciências”. Diante deste cenário de intensas explorações do meio ambiente e desvalorização dos diversos saberes construídos tradicionalmente, este estudo vem demonstrar a importância da conservação do meio natural, através do conhecimento dos pescadores artesanais residentes na Vila de Beja, município de Abaetetuba-PA. A escolha por uma comunidade pesqueira se deu em virtude pelo fato de nessas comunidades as pessoas se apropriam do conhecimento adquirido e repassado por gerações e fazem uso de apetrechos e técnicas tradicionais ou de caráter relativamente simples para a captura do pescado, e também para o extrativismo, com base na subsistência. Com relação ao etnoconhecimento, destacamos que este não diz respeito apenas ao manuseio de um apetrecho de pesca, mas, onde e quando utilizá-lo, e isso o pescador adquire não somente pela experiência, mas indo pescar e ouvindo os mais velhos. E quando os pescadores empregam seu etnoconhecimento realizam o contato direto com o ambiente natural e, acabam adquirindo um entendimento acerca ambiental sobre o espaço em que vive. Esta temática é de grande importância para a construção de uma sociedade consciente e preocupada com o futuro das próximas gerações e com o ambiente em que irão viver, pois adentra nos espaço com comunidades tradicionais que vivem o processo de subsistência se apropria de seu etnoconhecimento e utiliza-o como meio de assessoramento e estratégias de ensino, conscientização, propagação e discussão sobre Educação Socioambienta

Authors: Pamela  , Nurliza  , Nugraha Aditya
Published: August 2023

Food MSME actors in traditional markets have limited capital so that the government helps MSMEs through the People's Business Credit (KUR) program. However, SMEs in traditional markets have another obstacle, namely the inability to make acceptable financial reports as the basis for providing credit or non-credit from banking institutions or other financial institutions. Financial records are important information for MSMEs such as cash in, cash out, accounts receivable, debt and others. Community service activities are to educate food MSMEs in recording financial transactions, and support government efforts to increase MSME capacity. So there is a need for Community Service Activities that will help improve MSME skills in terms of management, and finance. This community service activity is carried out by providing information through counseling, demonstrations, and technical guidance. This service activity is in the form of financial recording skills both manually and in applications. The results of this community service activity can help MSME actors to understand financial records both manually and by application.

Published: August 2023

This study aimed to investigate the histomorphological and immunohistochemical changes in the ovaries of Small East African goats during the dry and rainy seasons. A total of 180 ovaries were subjected to analysis using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemistry for desmin and smooth muscle actin as cytoskeletal components. The results demonstrated the presence of healthy and atretic primordial, primary, secondary, and antral follicles in the ovaries during the dry and rainy seasons. In the dry season, the proportions of healthy primordial, primary, secondary, and antral follicles were 236 (95%), 85 (97%), 25 (78%), and 6 (27%), respectively, whereas the atretic follicles accounted for 12 (5%), 3 (3%), 7 (22%), and 16 (73%). Conversely, during the rainy season, 157 (99%), 61 (98%), 48 (93%), and 31 (92%) were classified as healthy follicles, while 2 (1%), 1 (2%), 4 (7%), and 3 (8%) were categorized as atretic. There was a significant difference in healthy and atretic follicles between the dry and rainy seasons (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed positive staining for both desmin and smooth muscle actin in the theca cells of secondary and antral follicles, cortical stroma, and tunica media of blood vessels in healthy and atretic follicles during dry and rainy seasons. However, staining was not observed in the granulosa cells and oocytes. Overall, this study indicates that most antral follicles undergo obliterated follicular atresia during the dry season.

Published: August 2023

The performance, egg characteristics and lipid profile of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) fed diets containing different levels of Maxigrain as a feed additive were investigated. A total of 225 (7 weeks) old Japanese quails weighing 235-248 g at the point of lay were allotted to 5 dietary treatments in a completely randomized experimental design with 5 replicates of 9 birds each. Dietary treatments for the entire 56 of days the feeding trial included: T1: 0 g of Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T2: 0.5 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T3: 1 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet, T4: 1.5 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet and T5: 2 g Maxigrain kg-1 diet. The results  of the study showed that values for average daily feed intake, egg length, egg diameter, egg shape index, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, albumen weight, albumen height and yolk height were not affected by the treatment (P > 0.05), while dietary  treatment significantly (P < 0.05) affected the values for the average daily weight gain, egg weight, egg mass, egg yolk weight and shell thickness among the treatments with T4 and T5 having the highest values of the above variables. It was concluded that T4 and T5 treatment could be safely included in the diet for improved performance in laying quail.

The development and practical implementation of unique instrumental methods for diagnosing obstetric, gynecological, and andrological pathologies remain relevant. In this regard, thermography shows promise as a non-contact remote diagnostic express method that allows detecting differences in the distribution and intensity of infrared radiation depending on the physiological or pathological state of the animal organism. In this regard, the purpose of the work was to present the possibility of using the infrared thermography method for diagnosing reproductive pathologies in animals. Assessing the functional state and conducting preventive diagnosis of pathological processes in the genitals using thermal imagers can be crucial in animal reproduction. In addition, exceptional safety, autonomy, and non-contact qualities make thermal imagers indispensable in veterinary medicine. Therefore, thermography provides identification and differentiation of the phases of the sexual cycle and preventive diagnosis of obstetric-gynecological and andrological pathologies at a pre- or subclinical stage of development, dystrophic or inflammatory. Practical utilization of thermal imagers enables, in some cases, to make a final diagnostic conclusion; in others, to receive only preventive information followed by thorough, further comprehensive and specific research.

This study aimed to criticize modernism discourse in Indonesian high school history textbooks. It focused on (1) The history textbooks’ modernism discourse as a national identity and (2) The weaknesses of modernism as a national identity. A total of six history textbooks from 1975 to the 1994 curriculum were examined using the Discourse Historical Approach (DHA) developed by Martin Reisigl. DHA combines theory, method, and methodology with empirical data-based study practice. The analysis used arguments as speech acts in statements to support the truth claims validity. The results showed that history textbooks discourse that the Dutch colonial government left economic exploitation and began cultural association to help Indonesia become a modern nation. However, the narrative lacks supportive arguments and empirical shreds of evidence. The modernism discourse is accurately described as an orientalist works, supporting that the Indonesian culture is static and developed with Western influence.

Authors: Martins Drei Samuel , Angulo-Meza Lidia
Published: August 2023

The pursuit of enhanced efficiency in healthcare organizations prompts the need for reevaluating performance evaluation methodologies and implementing organizational improvement models. In this regard, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) emerges as a valuable tool for gauging the efficiency and performance of Decision-Making Units (DMUs) within specific interest groups, particularly within the healthcare sector. Nonetheless, a comprehensive DEA survey specifically focused on the Latin American healthcare domain remains absent. Recognizing the significance of identifying existing approaches and devising novel ones, the present study aims to analyze a systematic review made of papers that use DEA as an approach for efficiency analysis Latin America's health sector. The methodology encompasses three distinct stages. Firstly, an extensive literature search was performed, initially employing relevant keywords and subsequently exploring the reference sections of identified papers. Secondly, a meticulous examination of the selected papers was conducted, entailing both a descriptive analysis of the findings and an individual evaluation of each paper. Lastly, based on the identified research gaps, proposals for DEA applications were formulated. A total of 65 studies were identified and subjected to scrutiny, shedding light on their limitations and revealing diverse methodologies employed in examining the healthcare sector. The findings indicate the potential for further exploration of this subject, including the integration of DEA with complementary tools in other Latin American countries and different facets of the healthcare domain. Future research should build upon the insights provided by the existing literature, thereby introducing innovative approaches and contributing to the advancement of academic knowledge in this field.

Mental depression among students is a rising syndrome in Bangladesh. Recent research shows that the extent of depression, suicidal attempts, drug addictions, anxiety, and stress level have been on the rise significantly worldwide. It has become one of our critical social concerns. Unfortunately, these symptoms are more prevalent among tertiary-level students. These young people suffer from various disorders and various forms of depression. Since the young generation, like university students, are our prime strengths, their dejection and weak mental disposition are a significant loss and threat to our country. This problem is becoming more intense with time and causing vital social changes. This research investigated this issue using quantitative techniques, including a questionnaire survey. SPSS version 24 was used to determine the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The main goal is to determine the severity and variance underlying mental depression so that recommendations for improving cognitive abilities can be made. Further research can also be undertaken based on the findings of this research.

This study aims to establish if there was a research stitch during the COVID-19 epidemic in terms of the notion and development of employee empowerment in the previous five years. In discovering, we combined hundreds of journals on employee empowerment published between 2018 and 2022. By examining past research, this study employs qualitative methodologies—selected sources from the Scopus data repository released in the last five years, from 2018 to 2022. The chosen article is a publication on the subject of employee empowerment. The number of publications based on keywords initially appeared to be 3,717 articles; however, after filtering, the final findings showed the number of publications to be 391. The study's findings were gathered through data analysis with VOSviewer. According to the results, 86 concepts in employee empowerment research could be classified into six groups. The finding of mapping the notion of employee empowerment is significant since it may aid in establishing a conceptual framework in subsequent studies and can lead to innovation in subsequent research. The COVID-19 pandemic has not caused publications about employee empowerment to decrease; in contrast, the level of publication has always increased and has never reduced from 2018 to 2022, even during the COVID-19 crisis.

Authors: M Carver J , P Suarya , Irdhawati Irdhawati
Published: August 2023

Potassium has an important role in the process of plant growth, but its presence and availability in the soil are limited, because potassium is easily lost and flows out by water. Increasing the efficiency of potassium fertilization can be pursued through the formulation of fertilizer in the form of slow-release fertilizer (SRF) using bentonite. Â This study aimed to determine the release of potassium in potassium chloride fertilizer into the soil after bonding with acid-activated bentonite coated with potassium chloride. The composition of the KCl fertilizer made varies with bentonite with a mass ratio (g) of 1:1; 2:1; 3:1; 4:1; and 5:1, with a percolation time of 28 days. The concentration of released potassium was determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Material characterization was carried out by FTIR. The results showed that the ratio 1:3 had the highest potassium content of 45.12% with an incubation time of 28 days. The concentration of released potassium on day 7; 14; 21; and 28 respectively (12.55Â±1.25)%, (28.39Â±1.49)%, (5.,91Â±0.98)%, and (70.49Â±1.36)% . The results of the characterization of the determination of the fungal group on SRF3 were not significantly different from that of activated bentonite. Even though there were differences in the intensity of certain peaks and changed the functional groups.

They were grouped as group 1 (G1) includes eleven subjects with CRF without (hypertension and / or diabetes) groups 2 (G2) fourteen CRF subjects with hypertension and group 3 (G3) fifteen CRF subjects with diabetes. As a control group, eighteen healthy male subjects were included with special exclusion criteria. The plasma total cholesterol TC, triglyceride TG, and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol HDL-C were estimated using spectrophotometry methods. While low density lipoprotein-cholesterol LDL-c, and AIP were calculated using special formulas. Statistical analysis was performed by the student t-test.Results: The results of the study revealed significant increase in TC and TG, with significant decrease in HDL-c for all patient groups compared to control. No significant difference in LDL-c of G1 compared to control was found, while significant increase in LDL-c of G2 and G3 was found when compared to G1 or control. The AIP values were (0.42 ± 0.19 vs 0.43 ± 0.17; P>0.05) for G1 and G2 respectively, that showed no significant difference of atherogenic risk between these groups.Conclusions: These results concluded that AIP seems to be superior to LDL-c in predicting the risk for CVD in CRF groups on hemodialysis and those at the highest risk when CRF coupled with diabetes.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic cardiovascular disease. Its morphologically divided into asymmetrical septal hypertrophy, symmetrical concentric hypertrophy and apical hypertrophy,and physiologically divided into obstructive HCM and non obstructive HCM according to the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient at rest or with provocation. Several factors that increase risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), the more risk factors a patient has, the greater the chance that the patient is exposed to sudden death and sufficient to warrant consideration for interventional therapy.
Objective: The aims of the study are to evaluate the clinical presentations, risk stratification and family screening of patients with HCM.
Patients and methods: This cross sectional study was performed in Ibn-Albitar hospital for cardiac surgery. We studied the prevalence of certain variables among seventy three patients with  HCM from “June 2010 to April 2012" including the clinical triggers ,electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmia by holter monitoring, morphological and physiological types of HCM by echocardiography, family screening and finally we assessed the risk factors for SCD and candidacy for interventional procedures.
Results: A total of seventy three patients, males to females ratio were 1.5:1 with a mean age of 34±26 (years). HCM was higher in patients younger than 45 years of age, 43(58.9%). Eighty seven percent were symptomatic  and (12.3%) were asymptomatic diagnosed by family screening of first degree relatives with HCM. Family history of HCM was identified in (38.3%).Three quarter of patients had asymmetrical septal hypertrophy and (6.8%) had pure apical HCM. Abnormal ECG was found in(87.6%) mainly in the form of left ventricular hypertrophy( LVH )while 9 patients(12.3%) had normal ECG. Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia(NSVT) was found in(30.1%). Echocardiographically, systolic anterior motion(SAM) of the anterior mitral leaflet was seen in about half of patients and three patients (7.6%) had SAM without LVOT obstruction. About half of patients (49.4%) had resting and provocable LVOT obstruction and about half of obstructive type (47.2%) had LVOT gradient ≥50mmhg and are candidate for surgical or percutaneous intervention.
Conclusions: Most of our patients were symptomatic and significant number of patients had family history of HCM. Asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was the commonest morphological type of HCM. Relatively equal prevalence of obstructive and nonobstructive HCM and significant number of patients with the obstructive type had LVOT gradient ≥ 50mmhg who are candidate for surgical or trascatheter interventions.

Today, an organization's ability to attract, recruit, and retain skilled and talented human resources from labor markets has become a strategic component of its success. To attract such employees, businesses began implementing branding practices and principles in the field of human resource management, and the concept of 'Employer Branding' has grown in popularity among businesses. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to survey the position and accomplishments of Employer brands in Iranian organizations. This study's data was gathered from three organizations in the oil industry: excavation, oil, and gas. Two samples were used, and questionnaires were distributed to each of them (consisting of 107 managers and 264 employees). According to the findings of this survey, the constructs of employee attraction, organizational identity, and organizational culture have been identified as components of employer branding and have a significantly high mean in those organizations. Furthermore, EB is linked to talent retention, corporate citizenship, HRD climate, and talent attraction, with the most significant impact on talent attraction and retention. Then it has the most significant influence on corporate citizenship and the HRD climate.
Bezpieczeństwo zdrowotne dziecka

Poszanowanie dobra każdego pacjenta, zwłaszcza dziecka, i działanie w jego najlepszym interesie było od zawsze zasadą medycyny. Ta podstawowa norma etyczna w praktyce medycznej wyraża się przez łacińskie powiedzenie salus aegroti suprema lex esto, co oznacza, że dobro pacjenta jest najważniejszym prawem. Dobro pacjenta jest głównym celem medycyny. Dobro dziecka obejmuje dobre samopoczucie fizyczne, psychiczne i prawo do zgodnego z naturą rozwoju duchowego. Osoba ludzka jest całością, ciałem i duszą, więc praktyka medyczna musi skupiać się na dobru całej osoby, a nie tylko na leczeniu. Obecnie największym zagrożeniem dla bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego dzieci nie są choroby, ale ze względu na powszechność zjawiska – wszelkiego rodzaju uzależnienia, a także burzenie naturalnego rozwoju emocjonalnego i premiowanie relatywizmu moralnego. Musi to, wcześniej czy później prowadzić do rozchwiania równowagi psychofizycznej z trudnymi obecnie do oszacowania, ale na pewno ogromnymi konsekwencjami zdrowotnymi.
Małżeństwo – przedmiot wspólnej troski Kościoła i Państwa
Authors: Krzewicki Jarosław
Published: August 2023

Kościół i państwo w ramach własnych porządków prawnych regulują sprawy małżeńskie. Związek małżeński wywodzi się z prawa naturalnego, Kościół wydobywa jego treść, strzeże integralności instytucji, zaś państwo gwarantuje skutki cywilne oraz udziela mu potrzebnej ochrony. Pojęcie małżeństwa dla państwa jest dynamiczne i zmienne, gdyż oparte jest na fakcie społecznym i podlega oddziaływaniu społecznemu warunkowanemu doraźnymi okolicznościami i użytecznością. Stąd dywergencja między podmiotami w rozumieniu małżeństwa się pogłębia. Relacja między Kościołem a państwem względem małżeństwa pokazuje silne oddziaływanie chrześcijaństwa na jego treść, a w niesprzyjających okolicznościach próbę obrony tego, co przynależy do jego istoty. Kościół na potrzeby zagwarantowania praw wierzących wypracował model relacji, w której państwo przyznaje skutki cywilne małżeństwu. Przy obiektywnym pojęciu małżeństwa, jakiego broni Kościół, wobec swojego roszczenia kompetencji względem małżeństw niekatolików, opartych na prawie naturalnym, Kościół powinien pielęgnować dialog i współpracę z państwem, korzystając z dostępnych mu środków, by zachować w społeczeństwie właściwe rozumienie instytucji małżeństwa, której istnienie jest gwarantem stabilności i ciągłości nie tylko wspólnoty wierzących, ale i całego społeczeństwa.
Rozwój nowoczesnych technologii w kontekście procesu stanowienia prawa na przykładzie strategii AI

Nowoczesne technologie stanowią obecnie fundament wzrostu gospodarczego i są zasobem o krytycznym znaczeniu, na którym opierają się wszystkie sektory gospodarki. Popularność zdobyły płatności elektroniczne, chmury obliczeniowe oraz komunikacja typu robot – robot. Jednym z istotnych pytań dotyczących wpływu nowoczesnych technologii na proces stanowienia prawa jest pytanie o granice ich rozwoju i oddziaływania. Z jednej strony nowoczesne technologie determinują rozwój, jednak mogą być ograniczane przez prawa, np. przez prawo własności przemysłowej. Z drugiej strony innowacje przyczyniają się do ingerencji w te prawa, utrudniają ich ochronę. W każdej z tych sytuacji mamy do czynienia ze zjawiskiem zagrożenia dla poczucia bezpieczeństwa jednostki i obywatela.
Chrześcijańska koncepcja Europy według św. Jana Pawła II
Authors: Guz Tadeusz
Published: August 2023

W obliczu neomarksistowskiego globalizmu, którego celem jest programowe unicestwienie każdej tożsamości bytu jako bytu „pilnie potrzeba, aby Europa odnalazła swą chrześcijańską tożsamość i zgodnie z nią żyła”. Z zagadnieniem transcendencji Starego Kontynentu nierozerwalnie powiązane są płaszczyzny personalne: indywidualne, narodowe i społeczne. W związku z tym „centralną zasadą wszelkiego sprawiedliwego ładu społecznego musi być poszanowanie człowieka, jego godności i jego niezbywalnych praw. Trafnie ujmowała to już starożytna formuła: Hominum causa omne ius constitutum est”. Taką optymalną wizję osoby ludzkiej w jej tożsamości społecznej i specyficznie indywidualnej można konkretyzować we wszystkich wymiarach istnienia człowieka jedynie w oparciu o chrześcijańskie korzenie Europy, a ich afirmacja oraz urzeczywistnienie jest najgłębszym pragnieniem wielkiego ducha św. Jana Pawła II, czemu daje wyraz w słowach: „Europa, o jakiej marzę, to polityczna, a przede wszystkim duchowa jedność, w której chrześcijańscy politycy wszystkich krajów są świadomi bogactw, jakie daje człowiekowi wiara: jako zaangażowani mężczyźni i kobiety starają się owe bogactwa wykorzystać w służbie wszystkich, aby powstawała Europa ludzi, nad którą jaśnieje oblicze Boga”. Z tej racji Stary Kontynent powinien „być miejscem pojednania i współistnienia ludzi i narodów, podchodzących do siebie z głębokim szacunkiem i szczerą życzliwością”. Istotną pomocą w tym koniecznym dla wielkości Europy jako „wspólnoty ducha” procesie jest nauka uniwersytecka jako korona edukacji umysłów, pamięci i wolności osoby ludzkiej i całych narodów, nieraz głęboko zranionych historycznym dramatem zła i słabości: „Uniwersytet, stwarzając możliwości rozwoju nauk humanistycznych, może pomóc w takim oczyszczaniu pamięci, które nie zapoznaje krzywd i win, ale pozwala przebaczać i prosić o przebaczenie, a potem otwierać umysł i serce na prawdę, dobro i piękno, które stanowią wspólne bogactwo i które zgodnie należy pielęgnować i rozwijać”. Jednak wspólnotą i zarazem instytucją, która dała Europie najwięcej nie tylko ściśle w sensie duchowo-moralno-religijnym, lecz także w sensie nauki, sztuki czy gospodarki, jest Kościół zbudowany na św. Piotrze i jego następcach, o którego należną pozycję bytową i stosowny respekt upomina się Jan Paweł II Wielki – oczywiście z myślą o dobru wszystkich Europejczyków: „Elementem określającym tożsamość tego kontynentu jest Kościół założony przez Jezusa Chrystusa. «Nie ulega wątpliwości, że w złożonej historii Europy chrześcijaństwo stanowi element kluczowy i decydujący, oparty na solidnym fundamencie tradycji klasycznej i ulegający w kolejnych wiekach wielorakim wpływom różnych nurtów etniczno-kulturowych”. W związku z powyższym Europa jako „«stary kontynent»” powinna „wyraźne odwołać się do Boga i wiary chrześcijańskiej”, czyli „uznać rzeczywistość historyczno-kulturową, która kształtuje teraźniejszość i stanowi źródło tożsamości Europejczyków”.
