Pancreatic and gut hormones as predictors of new-onset prediabetes after non-necrotising acute pancreatitis: a prospective longitudinal cohort study
Authors: Bharmal Sakina H , Kimita Wandia , Ko Juyeon , Petrov Maxim S
Published: June 2021

Objective

Early identification of individuals at high risk for metabolic derangements after an attack of acute pancreatitis (AP) is critical with a view to tertiary preventing of this disease. The aim was to investigate whether fasting pancreatic and gut hormones at baseline were predictive of future risk of new-onset prediabetes after acute pancreatitis (NOPAP) in individuals with non-necrotising AP.

Methods

This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study that included 69 consecutive non-diabetic participants with AP, of whom 55% (n = 38) had normoglycaemia both at baseline and during follow-up, 25% (n = 17) had prediabetes both at baseline and during follow-up, and 20% (n = 14) were normoglycaemic at baseline but developed NOPAP during follow-up. The associations between the study groups and circulating fasting levels of pancreatic and gut hormones (insulin, glucagon, C-peptide, amylin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, glucagon-like peptide-1, pancreatic polypeptide, and peptide YY) were studied using multinomial regression in both unadjusted and adjusted analyses.

Results

Elevated plasma insulin and glucagon at baseline were significantly associated with NOPAP (adjusted odds ratio 1.99, 95% CI 1.01 to 3.92 and adjusted odds ratio 3.44, 95% CI 1.06 to 11.19, respectively). The same hormones had no significant association with antecedent prediabetes in AP. The other studied hormones were not significantly associated with the study groups.

Conclusions

Normoglycaemic AP individuals with elevated fasting levels of insulin and glucagon at baseline constitute a high-risk group for future NOPAP.
Environmental efficiency assessment of the U.S. pulp and paper industry using an SBM-DEA model
Authors: Li Yali , Xiao Jianhua
Published: June 2021

The pulp and paper industry contributes to the economic development of the U.S., producing goods that meet primary needs. However, this sector must operate in a balance with the environment to ensure ecological preservation. Proposing a non-radial slacks-based measure – data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) approach, this study assessed the environmental efficiency of the pulp and paper industry in the U.S. from 2015 to 2018. External environmental impacts and random interferences on efficiency assessment were explored by using a stochastic frontier approach (SFA) regression. This study revealed that the U.S. pulp and paper industry was highly non-eco-efficient in the period evaluated, presenting an average environmental efficiency value of 0.509. Also, it is suggested that a total of 2.967 million metric tons of CO2eq emissions were in excess of those that were estimated based on an assumption of perfect environmental efficiency from 2015 to 2018 in the U.S. pulp and paper Industry. Based on the analysis of input and output slacks and the external environmental factors which reflect the environmental features of each decision-making unit (DMU), these facilities should substantially reduce CO2eq emissions and enhance the resources-allocation efficiency for improving the environmental efficiency of the U.S. PPI.
ARTISTIC THEODICY IN THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV BY F. M. DOSTOEVSKY
Authors: Stepchenkova Valentina
Published: June 2021

The aim of the research study is to explain the artistic theodicy of F. M. Dostoevsky. The justification of God before the world he created, in which evil forces are allowed to act, is one of the principal themes in the novel. In those scenes of the novel that raise the theme of innocuous suffering, Dostoevsky offers to comprehend the meaning of suffering. Dostoevsky sees it as not only as a result of the influence of an evil force, but also as a path to perfection for human beings and a way to experience communication with God. Dostoevsky shows that from a Christian spiritual perception of sorrows, one can find the strength to overcome them and see the highest sacred meaning in them. This conclusion is not based on the optimistic theodicy of Leibniz, but only reveals the goodness of God, who is capable of turning the evil, which entered the world along with the Fall, into an opportunity for a person to rise to a new spiritual level. The most important argument of theodicy is love: God’s love for man and man’s capacity to love, overcoming evil. Because of the lack of love, guided only by the “Euclidean mind,” Ivan returns his “entry ticket” to harmony. The logical conclusion of the research study states that Dostoevsky’s key to theodicy and the main value in the moral self-determination of man is the belief in the immortality of the soul and the all-goodness of the Creator.

The information society, which was born along with the development of information and communication technologies, is a commonly used term in everyday life, both personally and professionally. The aim of the article is to evaluate the level of development of e-government services in the European Union countries, with particular emphasis on Poland. For the purpose of the research, the Perkal and Ward methods were used and the following indicators: DESI and EGDI. The available data from Eurostat and the Central Statistical Office in the area of public e-government services for citizens were analyzed. The article also refers to the development priorities of Poland and the European Union in terms of e-administration development. E-administration is one of the most important areas determining the essence of the information society. Rapid progress is observed in the development of e-government in Europe. However, it is not even, and there are significant inequalities in the access and use of ICT in individual Member States. Societies strive for quick and convenient handling of civil matters via the Internet. Electronic public administration in EU countries is undergoing a digital transformation, from traditional handling of citizens’ affairs to modern, i.e. electronic implementation of public services. As the research shows, the level of development of e-government services in Poland differs from the average in the EU, despite a significant improvement in such areas as open data, pre-filled forms and the availability of e-administration services for enterprises.

Instaurare omnia in Christo papieża św. Piusa X (1903-1914) - a odnowa liturgiczna
Authors: Janicki Jan Józef
Published: June 2021

Papst Pius X. (1903-1914) hat sein Pontifikat, das unter dem Motto Instaurare omnia in Christo („Alles in Christo erneuern”) stand, mit der Erneuerung der Liturgie angefangen. Bei seinem eifrigen Streben, Kirche und Menscheit durch Wiederbelebung der Frömmigkeit zu erneuern, war Pius X. auch um die Reinheit und Erhabenheit der gottesdienstlichen Formen besorgt. Seine Reformen auf diesem Gebiet bezogen sich zunächst auf die kirchliche Musik, die damals besonders in Italien verweltlicht und entartet war. Das Motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini vom 22. November 1903 (Fest der heiligen Cäcilia) (das sich direkt auf die Kirchenmusik bezog), sollte nach Pius’X. eigenen Worten ein Grundbuch der Kirchenmusik sein. Unter seinen Hirtensorgen, so führt der Papst aus, rage diejenige für die Würde des Gotteshauses hervor, in dem sich die Gläubigen zur Feier der Geheimnisse und Verrichtung ihrer Gebete versammeln und also nichts geschehen dürfe, was ihre Frömmigkeit stören und die Heiligkeit des Ortes beleidigen könnte, wie dies die kirchenmusikalischen Abwege und Missbrauche unter dem Einfluss der profanen Kunst zu tun drohten. Die Kirchenmusik müsse als integraler Bestandteil der Liturgie die Ehre Gottes und die Andacht der Zuhörer fördern und daher heilig, universell und künstlerisch sein. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind im Werke des grossen Seelsorgepapstes die Kommunionerlasse. Im Dekret der Konzilskongregation vom 20. Dezember 1905 erklärte Pius X. als Wunsch Christi und der Kirche, dass alle Gläubigen öfters, ja möglichst jeden Tag in würdiger Weise zum heiligen Mahle gehen möchten, um durch die eucharistische Vereinigung mit Gott als Heilmittel gegen ihre Gebrechen, nicht etwa als Lohn für ihre Tugenden, die Kraft zur Stärkung der Liebe zu gewinnen. Am 8. August 1910 erklärte die Sakramentskongregation mit ausführlicher dogmatischer Begründung und päpstlicher Bestätigung, es genüge zur ersten heiligen Kommunion, dass ein Kind zu denken anfange und hinreichende Vernunft aufweise, um das eucharistische Brot von gewöhnlichen Speisen zu unterscheiden und die notwendigen Glaubensstücke zu begreifen, was ungefähr im siebten Lebensjahr der Fall sei. Pius ‘X. liturgische Reformen beschränkten sich nicht nur auf die Kirchenmusik und die Kommunionerlasse; sie betrafen auch das kirchliche Gebet als solches. Die Konstitution vom 11. November 1911 und das Motu proprio vom 23. Oktober 1913 führen die schon von früheren Päpsten unternommenen Reformen des römischen Breviers weiter. Die alte Sitte der Verrichtung des ganzen Psalteriums soll erneuert, zugleich der Kirchenkalender von der Überwucherung mit Heiligenfesten gereinigt und angesichts der vielfach starken Belastung des Seelsorgeklerus eine Kürzung der Offizien durch eine neue Verteilung der Psalmen vorgenommen werden. Pius X. hat die Liturgie als die „erste und unersetzliche Quelle für den wahren christlichen Geist” proklamiert und die aktive Teilnahme der Gläubigen an ihr gefordert.

Rok świętego Stanisława Biskupa Męczennika w diecezji tarnowskiej (7 V 1978 - 30 IX 1979)
Authors: Piech Stanisław
Published: June 2021

The idea of “St. Stanislaus’Year” in Tarnów’s diocese was inspired by cardinal Karol Wojtyła, who prompted it to bishop Jerzy Ablewicz to commemorate the ninehundredth anniversary of a martyr’s death of St. Stanislaus. On Sunday, May 7, 1978 a celebration took place in Szczepanów, as announced in the letters of the Bishop of Tarnów the year before the nine-hundredth anniversary ofa martyr’s death of St. Stanislaus, thus marking the beginning of the ‘Year of St. Stanislaus’ in Tamow’s diocese. Cardinal Karol Wojtyła presided over a Holy Mass, which was concelebrated by the bishops of the dioceses in which St. Stanislaus of Szczepanów is especially venerated. The homily was preached by the Primate of Poland, cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. The Bishop of Tarnów said a prayer which he had written for the occasion: A prayer o f the congregation o f the diocese o f Tarnów to St. Stanislaus, its patron saint. The Mass ended with cardinal Karol Wojtyła’s solemnblessing extended to the pilgrims gathered at the field-altar with the reliquary with the Saint’s skull, which had been brought from the Wawel Cathedral. In this solemn service participated 44 bishops from Poland and from abroad. The main Sunday ceremony was followed by its octave (from May 8 to 14). Pilgrims from Tamow’s diocese and from other parts of Poland and from abroad were coming to Szczepanów throughout the year. ‘St. Stanislaus’ Year’ in the diocese of Tarnów finished on September 30, 1979 with an all-diocesan pilgrimage to Wawel and Skałka in Cracow.The “Year of St. Stanislaus’ was the time of deepening religious awareness as well as moral and spiritual revitalisation of the diocese. Pastoral activity was focused primarily on the  strengthening of religious beliefs and forming moral attitudes of the faithful. A special emphasis was laid on the sobriety of the diocesans. Within the Parish Apostolate of Sobriety, the so called Circles of St. Stanislaus were created with an aim to propagate abstemiousness from alcoholic beverages. A visible enlivening of the worship of St. Stanislaus in the diocese was observed.
Imię Stanisław wśród mieszczan krakowskich do 1333 roku
Authors: Rajman Jerzy
Published: June 2021

The name Stanislaus (or its diminutive form) appears in Cracow burghers’ families in which names that sounded German, Polish or Ruthenian were recorded. We come across the name Stanislaus in the families of mayors of villages, aldermen, scribes, merchants, butchers, blacksmiths, maltsters and shoemakers. It can be inferred that the appearance of this name was widespread and encompassed all groups of burghers, which may be regarded as indirect proof of the popularity of the worship of St. Stanislaus.
Theatrum passio sancti Stanislai. Some thoughts on the role of Kraków cathedral as the shrine of St Stanisław
Authors: Rożnowska-Sadraei Agnieszka
Published: June 2021

On 8 September 1253 bishop Stanisław of Szczepanów was canonised in the basilica of St Francis at Assisi. A year later his relics were elevated to the altar in the centre of the crossing of the so-called second Romanesque cathedral on the ancient Wawel hill at Kraków. This elevation transformed the church, which had functioned for centuries as the seat of the second most important bishop in the country, into the centre of St Stanisław’s cult. In time the cathedral acquired other functions, becoming the Polish coronation church and royal necropolis, a true Kónigskirche, as well as undergoing numerous architectural transformations. All the transformations, especially in the western part of the church, were to a great degree linked with the presence of the saint’s shrine. Yet in the past students of the cathedral focused mainly on the changes in the structural fabric of the building. Only a few scholars have devoted their attention to other issues such as  patronage or an ideological programme and, most importantly, to the study of the church as the main sanctuary of St Stanislaw.

Kult św. Magdaleny de Pazzi w barokowym Krakowie
Authors: Małecki Jan
Published: June 2021

W drugiej połowie XVII wieku Kraków wszedł w okres upadku. Powielkiej zarazie lat 1651-1652 i zniszczeniach spowodowanych tragiczną wojną ze Szwecją z trudem dźwigał się z ruin. Liczba ludności wydatnie spadła a życie gospodarcze znacznie osłabło, co było widoczne zwłaszcza w poważnym skurczeniu się obrotów handlowych. Pewne ożywienie następowało tylko w okresie wielkich uroczystości państwowych, tzn. koronacji królewskich i związanych z nimi obrad sejmów koronacyjnych. Szybciej następowała tylkoodbudowa obiektów kościelnych. Zdumieniem napawa rychła restauracja zniszczonych kościołów, a nawet wznoszenie nowych budowli sakralnych, nierzadko okazałych i odznaczających się dużymi walorami artystycznymi. W okresie tym rozwinął się kult Katarzyny de Pazzi (w zakonie Maria Magdalena), florenckiej karmelitanki.

From the 15th century the parish provided pastoral care for miners from the Wieliczka salt mine, in exchange for which the mine board paid salt fees (since ca. 1703 in cash) to the provost and was obliged to participate in the church's upkeep costs. In 1772 the obligations were taken over by the Austrian administrators of the Wieliczka mine, hence the participation of the Salt Mine Board in the costs of reconstructing the church following the destruction caused by the subterranean tremor in the 1780s.

Efeito do extrato de algas no desempenho germinativo e crescimento radicular em sementes de feijão BRS Estilo em resposta a diferentes métodos de aplicação
Authors: Santos Nair Hildelgard Soares dos , Silveira Ana Clara Duarte , Fernandes Valéria de Oliveira , Machado Levi Pompermayer
Published: June 2021

RESUMO The biostimulating potential of algae extracts represents an opportunity to increase efficiency in food production. Cultivable microalgae are viable candidates due to the high production capacity. In this work, the chemical composition and effect of the microalgae extract Scenedesmus acuminatus (Lagerh.) Chodat and commercial product AMPEP (Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder) derived from the macroalgae Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jol. on the germination of BRS Estilo bean seeds were evaluated. The treatments analyzed the methodology of exposure of seeds to extracts: soaking for 5 hours (T1) and applications every 48 hours (T2). The parameters evaluated were: germination percentage (PG), speed index (IVG) and mean germination time (TMG). The values of PG and IVG were higher in T2, representing about 50% higher yield than T1. In relation to chemical composition, Scenedesmus acuminatus extract obtained higher levels of proteins and carbohydrates. Thus, S. acuminatus is a potential producer of biostimulant extracts, while beans obtained lower germinative performance when submitted to the soaking process.
PROTEST IN THE CITIES OF SIBERIA: THE EXPERIENCE OF MEASURING FACTORS OF MOBILIZATION ACTIVITY
Authors:   Siberian Institute of Management – the branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (Novosibirsk), Pustovoyt Yurii
Published: June 2021

The paper considers a set of conditions that stimulate mobilization activity. Based on the J. Goldstone’s fourth-generation revolution model, the author proposes such stimuli: the effectiveness of government, the dissatisfaction and the elites, and the protesters' notion of the power. The author reviews protesting regions’ capitals with these factors based on the assessment of mobilization. The preliminary results show that the higher the level of urban prosperity and of formal competition, the higher the mobilization activity and the ability of protest communities to establish control over resources and to achieve their goals. The main components influencing the protest identity (“anger”, “profit” and “enemy”) are proposed. Further development of mobilization takes various forms. In the most prosperous cities, it is likely for protest communities of liberal, socialist, and national-patriotic types to become an element of political competition and to complement electoral and symbolic struggle concentrated around certain leaders and topics: social justice, ecology, legal protection and values of liberalism. The other extreme (in dysfunctional cities) — short-term situational outbreaks of protest around national, state, religious or socialist ideals. The mobilization activity here is minimal, which does not exclude active street events resulting in possible personnel shifts with the relative stability of the power coalitions.
The parliamentarian’s symbolic capital as a factor of confidence building in the State Duma
Authors:   Youth Parliament of the State Duma, Voropaeva Mariia A. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Kavshar Eleonora L. ,   Center for political capital development
Published: June 2021

Introduction: the article examines formal and informal political and communication practices for their effectiveness in improving the perception of a parliamentary institution. Objectives: to identify the features of symbolic capital formation of a State Duma deputy using political and communicative practices. Methods: comparative analysis, content analysis, sociological regulatory analysis. Results: The article analyzes the political and communication practices used by the State Duma deputies and their impact on building trust inparliament. Informal practices that parliamentarians use while implementing the representative function are highlighted as having the greatest potential in the context of the need to increase trust in the State Duma. Conclusions: trust to a parliamentary institution is a combination of institutional trust (to the State Duma as a body of state power) and transpersonal trust (in deputies). A parliamentarian, to whom the State Duma delegates its symbolic capital, can either increase confidence in the institution by their actions, or lower it due to the communication failures, inability to use modern technologies, the need to follow the political change, etc. It is necessary to develop a set of measures to increase confidence in the parliamentary institution.
Serious Game Top Eleven as an Educational Tool in Sports Economics
Authors: Afthinos Ioannis , Manasis Vasileios , Chrysanthopoulos Thodoros-Panagiotis
Published: June 2021

The aim of the present study is to explore the use of the serious game Top Eleven as an auxiliary educational tool in a sports economics undergraduate course. This attempt is warranted by the fact that serious games can provide real life/work experiences and set the ground for managerial – economics skills development. The selection of the specific serious game is based on the ample and varied sports economics data provided and its free of charge online accessibility. Following the case study methodology, a virtual football club was created and managed within Top Eleven. The stated research questions were based on the analysis and application of the generated data to a number of economic concepts identified in a specific sports economics textbook. Based on the analysis results, twelve out of 17 in total identified economic concepts were successfully analyzed using eleven economic data sources of items embedded in the game. The implementation phase showed that Top Eleven could be used as an educational supporting tool in the form of virtual internship for gaining of practical experience by applying sports economic concepts for the financial management of a professional football club. It is argued that the game offers a sensible working environment in sports economics and the associated sport management field.

Communicating conversion: thoughts about religious change based upon experiences with Roma converted to pentecostalism
Authors: Fosztó László
Published: June 2021

The present study reflects upon the process of religious conversion from the point of view of communication practices between those already converted and the person still being in the process of conversion. The analyzed ethnographic material is from a Roma community near Cluj-Napoca. Among the Roma there can be observed the dominance of Pentecostalism. One of the conclusions of the study is that the central element of the religious change lies in the change regarding ritual communication. The personal conversion goes along with the redrafting of the moral aspects of a person, and this needs the new approaches of both the verbal (testimony and conversion stories) and non-verbal communication (furnishing the house, dressing, public consumption practices, etc.). The author highlights the importance of literacy during the conversion process. For the converted the congregation represents the primary publicity, but in the same time the others (not converted) are an important reference group. The converted are influenced by the engagements related to the family and relatives, and by the tension of not giving these up

The millennial-messianistic movements in social sciences
Authors: Gagyi József
Published: June 2021

The study aims at presenting a brief overview of a particular field of research within religious social movements, namely the millennial-messianistic movements. The starting point is the overview of the Hungarian research regarding religion and religious movements. Researchers do not recognize the weight and the importance of the millennial phenomenon. There was no mental-conceptual apparatus in Hungarian for capturing the phenomenon. The Hungarian social research dealt with these religious movements in the context of other important fields (saints) of research, which goes along the millennial movement of 1949 in Satu Mare (Máréfalva), described in my PhD thesis.

After presenting the brief history of the researched movements, I turn to the historical, sociological and anthropological literature of millennial movements, and I also present a few general aspects of social movements. Finally, I write about the importance of Victor Turner’s communitas-structure in the understanding of the researched phenomenon
Information society and the new vision about the digital differences
Authors: Nagy Réka
Published: June 2021

The study presents theoretical aspects of informational society, as well as the new methodological and conceptual approaches, the new directions of research regarding the digital inequalities and the consequences of technology applications.

Besides the general theories of the informational and knowledge-based society, the theoretical starting-point of the study is marked by the newest approaches and research focusing on the digital inequality model, the connection among the new communication technologies and social changes. The author argues that neither the theory that presupposes radical changes nor the theory that mystifies the informational society and rejects all kinds of changes could be considered as totally valid. The greatest output of the DiMaggio research agenda and model is that the relation between society and new communication technologies is considered co-evolutionary; hereby he resolves the debate about society’s influential factors
Punishment practices among the Moldavian Csangos
Authors: Kinda István
Published: June 2021

This paper aims to present the system of punishment in Moldavian Csango villages. Upon comparing west European, Szekler and Csango examples, we will focus on outlining a common European set of punishments which took its shape during early modernity and modernity too. The typology of Csango punishment practices thus outlined will throw a light on the archaic forms of reestablishing order, and the retaliation of norm deviance, in short the cultural-historic rootedness of norm reestablishing. The typology of these specific Csango cultural ways of social sanctioning and social retaliation can be set in the backdrop of community law
Customs of the calendar in a Moldavian village (magyarfalu)*.
Authors: Iancu Laura
Published: June 2021

The author wants to give an account on the calendar customs of a Csango village in Moldova. The key motive of her analysis are customs as modes of organizing, maintaining, and functioning cultural information. She believes that the customs of Hungarian Csangos go beyond that, they show the ethnic specificity of the local culture, and these „ethnic” customs act as distinguishing features of the community. The custom system in this reading differentiates communities doubly, on a formal plain differentiates them towards the exterior, in its content this system offers internally a pattern of orientation for those inside it. Finally customs act as a frame for the whole of life and community (individual–the other–the dead and God), as well as the three temporal experiences (Past–Present–Future). The author brings up-to-date information to back her theoretical insights
Feature Extraction from Distributions of Phase Synchronization Valuesof EEG Recordings
Authors:   , Quirarte-Tejeda J. A.
Published: June 2021

Epilepsy is the most common neurological pathology. Despite treatments available to patients, only 58% to 73% will be free of seizures. This uncertainty in treatment outcomes can lead to other psychiatric affectations in ca-ses where treatment success may be in doubt. Seizure prediction models (SPMs) emerged as a measure to help determine when patients may be susceptible to an imminent crisis. These models are based on the continuous monitoring of patient’s EEG signals and subsequent continuous analysis to identify features that differentiate ictal from interictal states. This is an ongoing field of research whose aim is to establish a robust set of features to feed the SPM and obtain a high degree of certainty regarding when the next seizure will occur. In this work we propose the analysis of phase differences of EEG as a method to extract features capable of discriminating ictal and preictal states in patients; specifically, the numeric distance between Q1 and Q3 of the distribution of phase differences. We compared this values to other phase synchronization methods and tested our hypothesis getting a p < 0.0009 with our proposed method.

What to include in your protocol v2
Authors: Ganley Emma , Broellochs Anita , Teytelman Lenny
Published: June 2021

A list to advise on the different elements that are possible to include as part of your protocol in protocols.io. If possible, please include these in the protocol file that you submit for us to import. Our editors will then be able to include those as part of your protocol. Ideally your protocol file will show the protocol as a step-by-step 'recipe' style protocol. Please try to lay it out this way rather than sending us the materials and methods text from a manuscript as that will be hard to interpret as a step-by-step protocol, and crucially, it will not include a lot of the important details. Please note that if you have a protocol file ready to submit, but do not yet have these additional elements ready, you can still go ahead and submit the protocol and there will be a chance to provide the rest to us later, or add them yourself. Once we transfer ownership of the protocol back to you, you'll be able to further edit the protocol prior to sharing or publishing (you can add thumbnail image, photos or videos etc.)
CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE PANDEMIC PHENOMENON IN PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Turenko Vitalii , Viktoriia Viktoriia
Published: June 2021

The article provides a comparative analysis of the pandemic discourse in such areas of human knowledge as philosophy, theology and academic religious studies.
The philosophical discourse associated with the pandemic phenomenon aims to reflect on the relationship between the individual and the social, the personal and the political, freedom and non-freedom. Through the concept of "biopolitics" philosophy considers this concept as a factor of modern power, although at the same time the epidemic becomes the basis for seeing the Other in a special way and helping him in the current crisis situation.
It has been established that in a theological context, a pandemic is not only God's punishment for the sins of ignorance, but also one of the potential options for self-improvement. Theological discourse examines not only the causes of pandemics in humanity, but also tries to understand its teleological nature in the life of every person. The situation of the pandemic creates a special direction in theology, which has already been referred to as "quarantine theology", "pandemic theology", "virus theology", or "coronavirus theology" in general.
It was revealed that in academic religious studies, the phenomenon of a pandemic is revealed in the threat-challenge binary opposition. Accordingly, within the framework of this discourse, the study of the specifics of the implementation of the activities of religious organizations, the characteristics of state-confessional relations, as well as the possible consequences of epidemics is carried out.
Also, religious understanding focuses not so much on the study of the causes of epidemics, diseases, etc., but focuses on highlighting the specifics of the functioning of religious organizations in such a crisis situation, the peculiarities of state-confessional relations during a pandemic, and disclosing potential consequences for the spiritual , and the laity.
GOOD AND EVIL THEOLOGICAL FRUITS OF THE PANDEMIC
Authors: Hovorun Cyril
Published: June 2021

The article explores various approaches to the Covid-19 pandemic in both global and Ukrainian Orthodoxy. It in particular differentiates between the fideistic and realistic takes on the Eucharist and the transmissibility of viruses through it. The former rejects, and the latter affirms the risk of getting infected with coronavirus through partaking in holy communion. The article also discusses various possibilities and forms of worshipping online, including the controversial practice of celebrating liturgy through communication platforms. The article suggests an updated form of the ancient agape--the meal of love that accompanied Eucharist in the early church. It also mentions the ancient and modern forms of the distribution of communion, with a special reference to the study by Fr Robert Taft, SJ. Another topic discussed in the article is the so called "Covid dissent," when people undermine or dismiss the risks and measures to prevent the spread of the disease. This dissent is popular among the Orthodox fundamentalists and conservatives, including the ones in Ukraine. The two cases of the "Covid-dissent," articulated by former Metropolitans of Kyiv Onufriy Berezovsky and Filaret Denysenko, are in the focus of the study. The article argues that the attitude to Covid-19 that these and some other hierarchs promote, is similar to the medieval "trials by ordeal," when suspects were ordered to fish a ring from boiling water or carry hot iron. They were regarded innocent only when they remained unharmed by these tests. The same attitude, the article argues, leads to stigmatization and victimization of those who have suffered from Covid-19.
Sublime and the quest for Self-actualization in Herman Hesse's Siddhartha
Authors: Dr. Shriya Goyal Mr. Gopal Chanana,
Published: June 2021

Herman Hesse’s seminal text, Siddhartha is the story about the journey of a man on his path to Self-Actualization. The story deals with the life of the protagonist, Siddhartha, who along with his friend, Govinda embarks on a journey for the search of the authentic Self. Each of them follows a distinct path, leading to vastly different experiences. Siddhartha focuses on the events that happen with the character of Siddhartha and the ways in which they influence and alter him. The book in itself takes the form of a quest and it is only in the end when Siddhartha meets Govinda that he hints at the knowledge that he has acquired. This, however, is not the entirety of his understanding but only a segment of his discovery.The objective of this paper is to underline Siddhartha’s journey of Self-Actualization and to emphasize on his reflections. The paper will try to prove how the journey of Self-actualization in the text is both an ontological and epistemological question. It also tries to describe that sublime moment of understanding which fulfils Siddhartha’s quest of Self-actualization.
