Published: October 2022

Com a norma brasileira ABNT NBR 15.575, de Edificações habitacionais — Desempenho, o setor da construção civil passou a observar mais atentamente todos os componentes utilizados na execução de alvenarias. Sendo assim, a escolha desse tipo de componente deve abranger diversos critérios de desempenho, dentre os quais o desempenho térmico, quando é comum surgirem dúvidas sobre qual tipologia adotar no universo de configurações e dimensões diferentes encontradas no mercado nacional. Nesse sentido, embora o desempenho térmico da edificação seja o resultado da interação de todos os elementos e componentes, a referida norma apresenta um método simplificado que permite verificar se as paredes externas e a cobertura atendem a um critério de desempenho “Mínimo”. Com base neste critério, este artigo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de caracterizar o potencial de desempenho de diferentes tipologias de blocos cerâmicos encontrados no atual mercado. Para isso, foram efetuados os cálculos de resistência térmica, transmitância e capacidade térmica, do componente bloco/tijolo, de diferentes tipologias, conforme a norma brasileira ABNT NBR 15.220-2 e resumidos em uma tabela comparativa. Concluiu-se que dois dos blocos avaliados atendem aos parâmetros de transmitância térmica e capacidade térmica sem a necessidade de acréscimo de revestimento.

O nível de satisfação com a habitação depende da percepção de cada indivíduo em relação ao seu respectivo local de moradia. Porém, será que o gênero ocasiona alguma diferença significativa nos padrões de percepção e satisfação do indivíduo? Assim, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é identificar as variáveis de desempenho da habitação, juntamente com a satisfação e o comportamento potencial do usuário e verificar se existe diferenciação da satisfação quanto ao gênero feminino e masculino. A pesquisa adotou como procedimento básico o método survey, por meio de questionário online, análise de correlação e análise discriminante. Para cada grupo de variáveis foram realizadas as análises estatísticas e verificou-se que existem diferenças na percepção dos indivíduos de acordo com o seu gênero. Comparando os resultados, percebeu-se que para os indivíduos do gênero masculino, as variáveis que mais impactam na satisfação são referentes à habitação, diferentemente, para os indivíduos do gênero feminino, as variáveis que possuem maior intensidade estão relacionadas as características do entorno.

Authors: Barbim D. , Almeida F. S. , Vaz C. E. V.
Published: October 2022

O gerenciamento de projetos está diretamente associado à construção sustentável. De acordo com Mascaró (2014) a definição dos planos verticais é responsável por aproximadamente 45% do valor final de uma edificação. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o desenvolvimento de um algoritmo de otimização que propõe reduzir o número de eixos horizontais e verticais em plantas baixas residenciais, simplificando o número de alinhamentos de paredes, mas sem alterar a linguagem arquitetônica, apresentando uma alternativa de layout em relação ao projeto inicial. O método é dividido em 3 estágios: (1) seleção da planta: análise manual no software AutoCAD 2D; (2) análise e definição das regras: pré-requisitos, regras, restrições espaciais; e (3) determinação do algoritmo, implementação, geração e avaliação das soluções pelo arquiteto projetista. Com a aplicação do algoritmo, foi obtido uma redução de 37,5% de eixos verticais e 20% de eixos horizontais de paredes, comparado ao layout inicial.

Published: October 2022

Transition of the economic development traditional model to the green economy is a modern necessity that determines development sustainability not only for individual national economies, but also for the entire planet. Therefore, the promotion of the green economy in Kazakhstan is the main and only true way of development. The purpose of this article is to study the relationship between introduction of digitalization in enterprises and the production development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of Kazakhstan in the context of green economy based on the current state analysis of an agro-industrial complex in the country and a forecast for its development. To assess the relationship between indicators of green growth and the introduction of new digital technologies, an inquiry was made of data on the development of innovations in technologies related to the environment. With the help of green growth indicators, directly according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for 2014–2018, Kazakhstan Bureau of Statistics and foresight studies forecast calculations made in this work. In addition, a mathematical model of the indicator “Gross agricultural output of Kazakhstan” was developed using regression analysis in the context of crop and livestock production in Kazakhstan for the period from 2014–2020, and forecast calculations of this indicator until 2025 are given. Thus, the methodology of this study is based on a comparative, statistical, mathematical and foresight analysis of international and state data on the development of the agro-industrial complex, digitalization and energy consumption (including renewable energy) in Kazakhstan. The results of the study showed that despite the consistently low rates of development of eco-technologies and the renewable energy sources usage in Kazakhstan, a high growth in agricultural GDP is predicted over the studied period. Based on the research results of target indicators of state programs, as well as the study of the agro-industrial complex problems and the possible effect on the introduction of digitalization, the active development of digitalization in all sectors of the agro-industrial complex can lead to «green» growth.

Authors: Ankita Negi  , Gaurav Parmar  , Vivek Thakur
Published: October 2022

Non-healing ulcers are a serious health issue that affects people all over the world. They are expensive in terms of both human and material resources. Unavoidable and harmful to the lower limb, non-healing ulcers are a leading factor in non-traumatic lower limb amputations. Numerous studies have examined the potential effects of medicinal leech therapy (MLT), also known as hirudotherapy or Jalaukavcharan in Ayurveda on a variety of illnesses, including Skin disorders and inflammatory diseases, as well as various surgical ailments. Despite the lengthy history of complementary health practises, contemporary medicine has only recently focused on their potential mechanisms of action. Many bioactive compounds, including antistasin, eglins, guamerin, hirudin, saratin, and bdellins, as well as complement and carboxypeptidase inhibitors, are secreted by leeches. In addition to extracellular matrix degradative and antibacterial actions, they exhibit analgesic, anti-inflammatory, platelet inhibitory, anticoagulant, and thrombin regulating properties. However, with more research, the range of effects may broaden. The method has been shown to be affordable, efficient, simple to use, and effective. The aim of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of Jalaukavcharan to promote the healing processes in non-healing ulcer. The study was an observational single case design without control group; it was carried out in department of Shalya of Rajiv Gandhi Post Graduate Ayurvedic College, Paprola

Authors:   Department of Management and Accounting, Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria., Adewale ADEJUWON, Joshua
Published: October 2022

The study assessed the relationship between claims payment, risk-based capital and profitability of Life Assurance Companies in Nigeria. There are fourteen listed life insurers in the industry where data of six insurers were randomly selected from the companies` annual reports for the periods of 2011-2019. The data were made available in the Nigerian Insurers Association Digest. Ex-post factor research design was employed. Findings show that claims payment, proxied by Net Claim, Net Premium and Net Expenses and Risk-Based Capital have significant effect on profitability of life Insurance Companies in Nigeria. Four hypotheses were tested. The first hypothesis showed the p-value of 0.0095<0.005, confirming that Net Claim has significant effect on Profitability of listed Life Assurance Companies in Nigeria. The second hypothesis showed that, Net Premium has significant influence on Profitability of listed Life Assurance Companies in Nigeria with a p-value of 0.0081<0.05. The third hypothesis showed a coefficient of 0.003, p < 0.05), indicating that there is significant relationship between Expenses Ratio and Profitability of Life Assurance Companies in Nigeria. Finally, the fourth confirmed that Risk-Based Capital has significant effect on Profitability of listed Life Assurance Companies in Nigeria with a p-value 0.0089>0.05. The study therefore concluded that the life insurance companies should put in place strategies to ensure proper management of Net Claim, Net Premium, Net Expenses and Risk-Based Capital and also entrust these in the hands of experts to yield high results. The study recommended that the claim managers should work in cooperation with other sections of the insurer from the policy formation stage to its cessation to promote timely payment of genuine claims and increase the profitability of insurance firms through effective cost control.

Alcohol in the emergency department before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

Background. Surveys designed to estimate changes in alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic show that people who already frequently used alcohol tended to increase their alcohol consumption during the lockdown. The question rises whether these changes can also be observed when taking a closer look at the admissions at the emergency department. Unfortunately, only limited data are available.

Methods. A retrospective, observational study was performed in the emergency departments of the general hospital AZ Sint-Jan Brugge (AZB) and the university hospital UZ Leuven (UZL), both located in Flanders, Belgium. All patients admitted with a positive ethanolemia ≥ 0.1 g/L between March 1, 2019 and February 28, 2021 were included. In case of a positive ethanolemia (≥ 0,1 g/L), the following data were collected: ethanolemia, age, sex, mode of transport and destination.

Results. In both centres, the total number of emergency admissions as well as those due to alcohol intoxication decreased during the pandemic. The ratio of alcohol-related emergency admissions to the total number therefore remained stable in both hospitals (UZL: 1.9% and AZB: 2.7%). We noticed a shift in age, with a decrease in the number of admissions for adolescents (10-19 years) and young adults (20-29 years). A slight increase in the number of women was also seen. A higher ethanolemia was generally measured in both centres during the lockdown period. The number of repeated presentations and admissions increased as well.

Conclusion. Although there were less admissions at the emergency department in absolute numbers, a shift in alcohol consumption could be demonstrated. Higher ethanolemia values were measured, chronic drinkers were seen more frequently and patients were hospitalized at the psychiatric ward more often.

Authors: TANHAN Fuat , KASAP Suleyman , HASAN Fırat , ÜNSAL Fırat
Published: October 2022

This research aims to develop a valid, reliable, and valuable measurement tool that measures teachers' empathy skills. Scale development stages can be listed as follows: the creation of items, getting expert opinion, pre-test, validity study, factor analysis, and reliability study. The developed scale is a five-point Likert-empathy scale. The scale was applied to 311 female and 287 male teachers, for a total of 598 teachers in Duhok, Iraq. At the end of these applications, When the item-total correlation values of the scale were examined, it was observed that some items showed weak correlation (r< .30), so it was decided to remove 20 items out of 27 items in the Teacher Empathy Scale (TES), and a 7-item scale has been finalized. Item number 8 will be graded in reverse. A high score indicates a high empathic tendency; a low score indicates a low empathic tendency. Within the scope of the validity and reliability studies of the teacher empathy scale, Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient analysis was performed before the general reliability and calculated as 0.771 after the analysis. In order to check whether the data structure of this developed scale is appropriate, factor analysis was checked using KMO and Barlett test methods. Finally, the value of the KMO test was determined to be 0.848, and the Bartlett test was 0.878. As a result of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, a valid and reliable scale consisting of 7 items with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.771 was developed. It was concluded that the scale is reliable and valid for measuring teachers' empathic tendencies.

Desindustrialización y auge de los servicios como motor autónomo del crecimiento en el siglo XXI: una aproximación desde la revisión de la literatura
Authors: Cassini Lorenzo
Published: October 2022

Desde la Revolución Industrial el desarrollo económico ha estado asociado a un proceso industrialización amplia. Pero desde la década de 1960, se observa que la mayoría de los países se desindustrializa, mientras que el sector de servicios se transforma y aumenta su productividad, innovación y exportaciones. En este contexto, gana impulso la propuesta de una estrategia de desarrollo basada en exportaciones de servicios para países que no consiguieron industrializarse. Sin embargo, literatura sobre “servitización” de la manufactura encuentra conexiones entre la manufactura y la transformación de los servicios, lo cual podría afectar la viabilidad de esta estrategia. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar, en base a la literatura reciente, la transformación del sector de servicios y su vinculación con la manufactura. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se reúne y sistematizan los argumentos de la literatura sobre servitización de la manufactura, incluyendo un análisis bibliométrico. Los resultados sugieren que la inserción internacional exitosa en servicios resulta de un proceso de maduración de las economías industrializadas que se refleja en cambios en la composición de la estructura productiva y de la canasta exportadora.
Theorizing Participatory Control Systems: an organizational control concept for enabling and guiding adaptivity in complex situations
Authors: Kolk Wouter , Paape Leen , Nikolic Igor , de Korte Ron
Published: October 2022

This paper presents a theoretical framework for a new concept of organizational control, that stimulates organizational change and adaptation. It introduces Participatory Control Systems (PCS) as a distinct type of control based on the complex adaptive system literature. These control systems are fundamentally different from the traditional notion of (management) control. Building on the notion of complex systems and the concept of social learning, PCS increase organizational adaptivity by enabling and facilitating social learning processes that may emerge to transformational change over time. To illustrate the PCS concept in practice, three examples are given in this paper. Moreover, some key implications for internal auditors and suggestions for future research are provided.
Samenwerking met kunstenaars creëert innovatiekracht en meer verbinding
Authors: Boer Sandra
Published: October 2022

De huidige tijd kenmerkt zich door een hoge mate van onvoorspelbaarheid en onzekerheid. De term die daarbij past, is VUCA: volatile, uncertain, complex and ambigue. Het effect daarvan is dat de gebruikelijke oplossingen voor vraagstukken vaak niet meer adequaat werken. Voor het reilen en zeilen van organisaties brengt dit de nodige risico’s met zich mee en innoveren is noodzakelijk. Menselijk gedrag blijkt echter veel minder rationeel en logisch en veel onvoorspelbaarder dan lang werd aangenomen. Willen organisaties innovatieve oplossingen vinden voor hun processen waarin de menselijke factor centraal staat? Dan is het extra van belang dat ze leren omgaan met onduidelijkheid, onzekerheid en onvoorspelbaarheid. Samenwerking met kunstenaars kan organisaties helpen om hun medewerkers hierin mee te nemen en fris en onbevangen naar bestaande situaties te kijken. Daarbij krijgen ook de tot dan toe ongehoorde stemmen een podium.
Religious Fundamentalism and Modernity
Authors: Javdan Amjad S.
Published: October 2022

The paper is inspired by the author's effort to point out the need for a more comprehensive consideration of religious fundamentalism, in relation to modern society. The intention of this paper is to analyze fundamentalism in its historically known manifestations and to try to objectively point out its aspects that are not always Islamic or religious, and to place it in the context of modernism. This paper aims to answer two research questions: How does religious fundamentalism view the modern world and how does the contemporary world view religious fundamentalism? What are the common points and differences between modernism and religious fundamentalism, especially Islamic? The justification of the work stems from the fact that this paper seeks to contribute to the expansion of existing scientific and professional knowledge in the field of security studies, especially religious fundamentalism. This paper will contribute to shedding light on certain misconceptions that exist in today’s modern society regarding Islamic fundamentalism.
DNA and CODIS in Organized Crime Investigations in Montenegro
Authors: Jovanović Jelena
Published: October 2022

Organized crime is a continuous activity whose illicit activities lead to profit. DNA analysis is important in solving both individual and organized crimes. One of the most important tools in finding and identifying perpetrators with the help of DNA analysis is the CODIS System or DNA registry. The existence of a database makes it easier to identify returnees of some crimes, then connect different people with one person at the scene, as well as connect multiple people with one person. The importance of DNA profiles and DNA databases in organized crime research is great. National legislation regarding the collection and storage of samples for DNA analysis differs. Thanks to DNA expertise and DNA as evidence, in a large number of court judgments we have appropriate penalties for committing crimes. From this research, 36% of the success of obtaining relevant DNA profiles for solving the crime of murder, and in the case of attempted murders was determined.
Special Symposium, Collective Vigilantism in Global Comparative Perspective A Wave of Lynching: Morality and Authority in Post-Tsunami Aceh
Authors: Nussio Enzo , Clayton Govinda
Published: October 2022

Lynching is a surprisingly prevalent form of collective violence. We argue that two conditions can cause lynching: a shared morality based on salient collective threats, providing justification, and weak authority, creating opportunity. We examine this argument with the 2004 Indian
Ocean tsunami. In Aceh, the province most impacted, the tsunami was a shock to morality (producing a religious revival) and authority (creating a situation of institutional flux). Using World Bank data, we find that Aceh saw an increase of lynchings, while lynchings stayed on average the same
in other parts of Indonesia. Within Aceh, the increase was most pronounced where authority was most undermined and where locals had high levels of shared morality. These findings have implications for research on collective violence and the prevention of lynching.
Evaluation of expelled droplets through traditional Islamic face coverings
Authors: Alkhateeb Norah , Almubarak Reem , Aldurayb Shatha , Alanazi Mashael , Alsuliman Fai , Aljabr Reem , Gardner Michael R.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND:

Expelled droplet count is an important factor when investigating the efficacy of face coverings since higher droplet counts indicate an increased possibility of disease transmission for airborne viruses such as COVID-19. While there is some published work relating facemask style to expelled droplet count during speech, there is no published data regarding the effectiveness of traditional Islamic face coverings such as the ghutra and niqab commonly worn by men and women in the Arabian Peninsula.

OBJECTIVES:

Measure the effectiveness of worn traditional Islamic face coverings in reducing expelled droplet count during speech.

DESIGN:

Experimental study

SETTING:

Biomedical engineering department at a university in Saudi Arabia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Using a previously described low-cost method for quantifying expelled droplets, this study compares droplet counts through commonly worn traditional Islamic face coverings and conventional three-ply surgical masks worn during speech. The device records scattered light from droplets (>5 μm diameter) as they pass through a laser light sheet (520 nm), and then video processing yields droplet counts.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Percent reduction in the number of expelled droplets passing through face coverings during speech compared to no face covering

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

9-15 recorded samples per face covering (n=3) plus no face covering control (n=1) in three females.

RESULTS:

The average percent reduction for each mask type compared to no mask trial was 76% for the cotton ghutra, 93% for the niqab, and 95% for the surgical mask. The niqab and ghutra had relatively high variability in droplet reduction.

CONCLUSIONS:

Traditional Islamic face coverings block some expelled droplets, but at lower rates than surgical masks. High standard deviations within facemask groups with high variability in fit (i.e., the cotton ghutra) further denote the importance of fit in face covering effectiveness. Some protection from airborne viruses is likely with traditional Islamic face coverings compared to no mask, but the amount of protection depends on the fit of the face covering.

LIMITATIONS:

Detectable droplets limited to particles greater than 5 μm diameter with forward expulsion direction.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

None.

the knowledge gaps is the ion–particle interaction during the early growth
process, especially in the sub-3 nm range, where direct observations are
sparse. While molecular interactions would imply faster growth rates of ions
compared to neutral particles, this phenomenon is not widely observed in the
atmosphere. Here, we show field measurements in the boreal forest indicating
a smaller apparent growth rate of the ion population compared to the total
particles. We use aerosol dynamics simulations to demonstrate that this
effect can be caused by the changing importance of ion-induced nucleation
mechanisms during the day. We further compare these results with chamber
experiments under similar conditions, where we demonstrate that this effect
critically depends on the abundance of condensable vapors and the related
strength of ion-induced nucleation. Our results imply that atmospheric ion
growth rate measurements below 3 nm need to be evaluated very carefully as
they do not represent condensational growth alone but are influenced by
ion–particle population interactions.

Abstract. Meteor radars have become widely used instruments to study atmospheric dynamics, particularly in the 70 to 110 km altitude region. These
systems have been proven to provide reliable and continuous measurements of horizontal winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Recently,
there have been many attempts to utilize specular and/or transverse scatter meteor measurements to estimate vertical winds and vertical wind
variability. In this study we investigate potential biases in vertical wind estimation that are intrinsic to the meteor radar observation geometry
and scattering mechanism, and we introduce a mathematical debiasing process to mitigate them. This process makes use of a spatiotemporal Laplace
filter, which is based on a generalized Tikhonov regularization. Vertical winds obtained from this retrieval algorithm are compared to UA-ICON model
data. This comparison reveals good agreement in the statistical moments of the vertical velocity distributions. Furthermore, we present the first
observational indications of a forward scatter wind bias. It appears to be caused by the scattering center's apparent motion along the meteor
trajectory when the meteoric plasma column is drifted by the wind. The hypothesis is tested by a radiant mapping of two meteor showers. Finally, we
introduce a new retrieval algorithm providing a physically and mathematically sound solution to derive vertical winds and wind variability from
multistatic meteor radar networks such as the Nordic Meteor Radar Cluster (NORDIC) and the Chilean Observation Network De meteOr Radars
(CONDOR). The new retrieval is called 3DVAR+DIV and includes additional diagnostics such as the horizontal divergence and relative vorticity to
ensure a physically consistent solution for all 3D winds in spatially resolved domains. Based on this new algorithm we obtained vertical velocities
in the range of w = ± 1–2 m s−1 for most of the analyzed data during 2 years of collection, which is consistent with the values reported
from general circulation models (GCMs) for this timescale and spatial resolution.

Abstract. Landslides are a major geohazard that cause thousands of fatalities every year. Despite their importance, identifying unstable slopes and forecasting collapses remains a major challenge. In this study, we use the 7 February 2021 Chamoli rock–ice avalanche as a data-rich example to investigate the potential of remotely sensed datasets for the assessment of slope stability. We investigate imagery over the 3 decades preceding collapse and assess the precursory signs exhibited by this slope prior to the catastrophic collapse. We evaluate monthly slope motion from 2015 to 2021 through feature tracking of high-resolution optical satellite imagery. We then combine these data with a time series of pre- and post-event digital elevation models (DEMs), which we use to evaluate elevation change over the same area. Both datasets show that the 26.9×106 m3 collapse block moved over 10 m horizontally and vertically in the 5 years preceding collapse, with particularly rapid motion occurring in the summers of 2017 and 2018. We propose that the collapse results from a combination of snow loading in a deep headwall crack and permafrost degradation in the heavily jointed bedrock. Despite observing a clear precursory signal, we find that the timing of the Chamoli rock–ice avalanche could likely not have been forecast from satellite data alone. Our results highlight the potential of remotely sensed imagery for assessing landslide hazard in remote areas, but that challenges remain for operational hazard monitoring.

Abstract. The balance between ocean mixing and stratification influences primary productivity through light limitation and nutrient supply in the euphotic ocean. Here, we apply a hierarchical clustering algorithm (Ward's method) to four factors relating to stratification (wind energy, freshwater index, water-column-averaged vertical eddy diffusivity, and halocline depth), as well as to depth-integrated phytoplankton biomass, extracted from a biophysical ocean model of the Salish Sea. Running the clustering algorithm on 4 years of model output, we identify distinct regions of the model domain that exhibit contrasting wind and freshwater input dynamics, as well as regions of varying water-column-averaged vertical eddy diffusivity and halocline depth regimes. The spatial regionalizations in physical variables are similar in all 4 analyzed years. We also find distinct interannually consistent biological zones. In the northern Strait of Georgia and Juan de Fuca Strait, a deeper winter halocline and episodic summer mixing coincide with higher summer diatom abundance, while in the Fraser River stratified central Strait of Georgia, shallower haloclines and stronger summer stratification coincide with summer flagellate abundance. Cluster-based model results and evaluation suggest that the Juan de Fuca Strait supports more biomass than previously thought.
Our approach elucidates probable physical mechanisms controlling phytoplankton abundance and composition. It also demonstrates a simple, powerful technique for finding structure in large datasets and determining boundaries of biophysical provinces.

Abstract. The accurate and rapid extraction of glacier boundaries plays an
important role in the study of glacier inventory, glacier change and
glacier movement. With the successive launches of high-resolution
remote-sensing satellites and the increasing abundance of available
remote-sensing data, great opportunities and challenges now exist. In this
study, we improved the DeepLab V3+ as Attention DeepLab V3+ and
designed a complete solution based on the improved network to automatically
extract glacier outlines from Gaofen-6 panchromatic and multispectral (PMS) images with a spatial resolution
of 2 m. In the solution, test-time augmentation (TTA) was adopted to
increase model robustness, and the convolutional block attention module
(CBAM) was added into the atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) structure in
DeepLab V3+ to enhance the weight of the target pixels and reduce the
impact of superfluous features. The results show that the improved model
effectively increases the robustness of the model, enhances the weight of
target image elements and reduces the influence of non-target elements.
Compared with deep-learning models, such as full convolutional network (FCN), U-Net and DeepLab V3+, the
improved model performs better in the test dataset. Moreover, our method
achieves superior performance for glacier boundary extraction in parts of
the Tanggula Mountains, the Kunlun Mountains and the Qilian Mountains based
on Gaofen-6 PMS images. It could distinguish glaciers from terminal moraine
lakes, thin snow and clouds, thus demonstrating excellent performance and
great potential for rapid and precise extraction of glacier boundaries.

This introduction aims to explain the lines of research of a group of scholars, brought together in a joint project on the history of sacrifice from the late Middle Ages to the modern world. Taking into account the theoretical framework formulated by a long tradition of studies on sacrifice, the group compared different historical contexts, focusing on the emergence of religious sciences, biblical commentaries, self-sacrifice and the idea of martyrdom, sanctity, the global missionary context, European approaches to sacrificial rites in Asia, and the relationship between the idea of crusade and the doctrine of sacrifice.
Sacrificio e violenza sacra nella propaganda crociata di età avignonese: Marino Sanudo e l’immagine della Terra Santa
Authors: Bueno Irene
Published: October 2022

After reviewing the scholarly debate on the sacralization of war and the symbolic centrality of Jerusalem in the notion of crusade, this essay focuses on the propagandistic elaboration of the Holy Land image in the context of the debates of the Avignon period, paying specific attention to the works of Marino Sanudo. In this context, the temporal distance from the first crusades and the need to assert continuity with their tradition enhance the recovery of the image of Jerusalem, the place of Christ’s sacrifice and of the crucesignatus’s military and penitential itinerary.
