The Road Not Taken
Authors: Raz Mical
Published: January 2022

Chapter 2 focuses on the work of child welfare researchers who emphasized the roles of socioeconomic and racial disparities as important risk factors for child abuse. It recreates a historical moment in which addressing poverty was depicted as a means of “primary prevention” of abuse. It also examines the history of the New York Foundling Hospital’s Crisis Nursery in the early 1970s, a respite care service designed by pediatrician, Vincent Fontana, to be a tool to prevent child abuse in struggling families. While numerous well-respected researchers and practitioners advocated for the importance of addressing structural inequalities in the prevention of child abuse, this approach was never accepted as mainstream. This chapter examines how and why such approaches were marginalized, and at what expense.
Too Much Reporting, Too Little Service
Authors: Raz Mical
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the widespread acceptance of mandatory reporting as a powerful tool in combating child abuse. It follows the implementation of CAPTA (1973) throughout the country, and the unsuccessful attempt to legislate national standards for reporting child abuse in the mid 1970s. The chapter examines local and national statistics to examine the impact of expanding mandatory reporting, and questions why this tool was viewed as so powerful. In particular, it asks why the increase in reports was seen to be the pertinent measure of success, rather than measures of child well-being. The chapter follows the trajectory of mandatory reporting over the decades, and examines its long-lasting appeal, despite having significant unintended, but certainly foreseeable, consequences.
Child Abuse in Black and White
Authors: Raz Mical
Published: January 2022

Chapter Five examines two episodes in the expansion of child abuse definitions. One was the rising awareness to the dangers and prevalence of child sexual abuse, particularly within their homes. The increased consciousness of children as potential victims of sexual exploitation led to the 1980s’ day care sexual abuse moral panic, as parents became convinced that ritual satanic abuse was rampant. Many of the same early Parents Anonymous supporters became prominent activists in this movement. It ultimately culminated in the “recovered” memory movement, which involved primarily white and middle-class families. Concurrently, a panic over crack cocaine use in pregnant mothers began in the early 1980s. Prosecutors and state legislators sought to utilize child abuse statutes to confine and punish pregnant women using drugs. In an era when addiction treatment was lacking, poverty was rampant and medical care was not adequately accessible, these interventions particularly targeted poor African American women. Racism was at the root of many attempts to control pregnant women’s bodies. In both cases, child abuse statutes were utilized in ways that did not protect children and often caused clear harm. The chapter ends in a discussion of the unfortunate consequences of these politicizations of child abuse definitions.
Trouble of the World
Authors: Sell Zach
Published: January 2022

In this innovative new study, Zach Sell returns to the explosive era of capitalist crisis, upheaval, and warfare between emancipation in the British Empire and Black emancipation in the United States. In this age of global capital, U.S. slavery exploded to a vastness hitherto unseen, propelled forward by the outrush of slavery-produced commodities to Britain, continental Europe, and beyond. As slavery-produced commodities poured out of the United States, U.S. slaveholders transformed their profits into slavery expansion. Ranging from colonial India to Australia and Belize, Sell’s examination further reveals how U.S. slavery provided not only the raw material for Britain’s explosive manufacturing growth but also inspired new hallucinatory imperial visions of colonial domination that took root on a global scale. What emerges is a tale of a system too powerful and too profitable to end, even after emancipation; it is the story of how slavery's influence survived emancipation, infusing empire and capitalism to this day.
Terrible Convergence
Authors: Sell Zach
Published: January 2022

This book returns to the explosive era of capitalist crisis, upheaval, and warfare between emancipation in the British Empire and Black emancipation in the United States (1833-65) to address a longstanding trouble in the field of empire studies—the relationship between slavery and empire within capitalism. During this age of global capital, U.S. slavery exploded to a vastness hitherto unseen, propelled forward by the outrush of slavery-produced commodities to Britain, to continental Europe, and beyond. Britain waxed fat from this outflow and helped finance U.S. slavery while looking toward its empire to meet the bar U.S. slavery set. As slavery-produced commodities poured out of the United States, U.S. slaveholders transformed their profits into slavery expansion. U.S. slavery provided the raw material for metropolitan Britain’s explosive manufacturing growth and inspired new hallucinatory imperial visions of colonial domination that took root from the Atlantic world to Asia and the Pacific.
Settling the Crisis
Authors: Sell Zach
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines convergences between Black emancipation in the United States, the colonization of Australia, and crisis in Britain’s textile industry in the mid-nineteenth century. This convergence was characterized by white racial projects to bring Asian indentured labor to the colony, imagined as simultaneously cheap and degrading to whiteness, a belief informed by understandings of U.S. settler slavery. This initial effort was accompanied by a second failed project, extending from 1861 to 1865, to colonize unemployed Lancashire factory workers in Queensland. In both the conceptualization of these projects and in interpreting their failure, the example of slavery and emancipation in the United States was looked toward.

Introduction: Many mothers who give birth are less interested in giving birth normally because of the intense labor pain. Actually it can be overcome by doula assistance. The doula's presence provides emotional support during the preparation for childbirth, and the doula provides physical support by accompanying to overcome hunger, thirst, and pain. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of doulas assistance on the success of delivery.
Methods: This study is a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at a private hospital in Bali in the period January 2020 to January 2021. The inclusion criteria in this study were all pregnant women with gestational age 34 to 40 weeks who were willing to undergo the study. While the exclusion criteria in this study were pregnant women who experienced complications during childbirth and pregnant women with incomplete clinical and demographic data. All of the data was analyzed descriptively by using SPSS 25 and was presented by frequency.
Result: This study managed to collect as many as 100 pregnant women who will give birth with the help of a doula. It was found that as many as 60 people (60%) gave birth vaginally. Then followed by 31 people (31%) who underwent a Cesarean section with the help of a doula. There were also 5 people (5%) and 4 people (4%) who underwent epidural delivery and vacuum extraction with the help of a doula.
Conclusion: Doula assistance during labor can increase the confidence of the mother who will give birth and support the success of normal delivery.
Implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) for low birth weight babies (LBWBs) at Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital: a qualitative study
Authors: Rahmayanti Rahmayanti , Pratomo Hadi , Zainita Ulfi Hida , Myranti Myranti
Published: January 2022

Introduction: The infant mortality rate is one indicator of the public health quality in a country. One of the main causes of infant mortality is low birth weight babies (LBWBs). Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a treatment method for LBWBs by making direct contact between the baby’s skin and the mother’s skin. Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital already practicing KMC since 2010 and it has succeeded. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of KMC for LBW mothers at Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital.

Methods: This study was qualitative research with Rapid Assessment Procedures (RAP) design. This research was conducted on mothers who gave birth with LBWB (<2500 grams) from 9 to 18 December 2011, and practice KMC at Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital, Jakarta.

Result: The implementation of KMC for LBW mothers at Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital was affected by seven factors. Those factors were; mothers and their husbands have sufficient knowledge of KMC from health workers explanation, good acceptance attitude, given accountable information sources of KMC, there is the presence of KMC policy that supporting KMC program, health workers support, husband support, and sufficient health education and counseling of KMC for mother and their husband before discharge.

Conclusion: There are seven factors that determine the successful implementation of KMC for LBW mothers at Budi Kemuliaan Mother and Child Hospital, those are; sufficient knowledge of KMC, acceptance attitude of KMC, information sources of KMC, the presence of KMC policy, health workers support, husband support, and sufficient health education of KMC for mother before discharge. This study suggested the formation of a support group to build social support between LBW families.
Zo(o)graphies: Darwinian ‘Evolutions’ of a Fictional Bestiary
Authors: Milesi Laurent
Published: January 2022

The essay puts to the test Darwinian evolutionist theories, especially the key concepts of adaptation, natural selection and survival of the fittest, in the reading of several plots and fictions (some of them Ark-related animal fictions) concerned with evolution, trauma, adaptability, mimicry/mimesis and survival: Julian Barnes’s Flaubert Parrot and A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, Timothy Findley’s Not Wanted on the Voyage, Robert Kroetsch’s The Studhorse Man and John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman. Weaving its critical argument with reference to several of Derrida’s reflections – on the impossibility of a pure origin, the proximity between commencement and commandment, the logic of obsequence, or relation between being and following (je suis), applied deconstructively to the traditional hierarchy between the human and the animal, mastery and monstrosity, and logos and bêtise, etc. – ‘Zo(o)graphies’ is structured in a series of interlinked tableaux, bestiaries as well as insets (Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow, Jacques Derrida’s Glas). Following from the opening evocation of Peter Greenaway’s Vermeer-themed film A Zed and Two Noughts, which introduces the joint semantics of zographein: to paint from life, and zoon: animal, discreetly at work throughout, this study will eventually attempt to recast the problematic of the evolution of literature and literary forms as involution and regression.
I Stink, Therefore I Mink: A Manifesto
Authors: Garnier Marie-Dominique
Published: January 2022

The recent mass culling of mink in Denmark and elsewhere, following the animals’ contamination by a COVID-19 variant, is taken as a re-entry point into Derrida and Lacan’s mink-mediated conversation in The Beast and the Sovereign. Out of the etymological ‘stink’ attached to the mink emerges an animot gifted with (unlimited) ink, with a potential to disturb philosophies of language, to write back or strike back, as it has recently done in the form of alignments of dead yet resurfacing animals. In the wake of Derrida’s verbal disseminations around the vison, and of Lacan’s attribution of a ‘sort of language’ to the animal in The Formations of the Unconscious, this essay follows an animal pack with includes the 17 million mink programmed for (double) extinction by inhumation and cremation. A hauntology follows, adumbrated by Lacan’s interest in the ‘secretion’ of fur, mink oil and (psychoanalytic) sense, and by Derrida’s encounter with the neoliberal, crypto-vison Alain Minc in 1994.
Mechanism of generation and propagation characteristics of coastal trapped waves in the Black Sea
Authors: Aydın Müjdat , Beşiktepe Şükrü Turan
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Coastal trapped waves (CTW) were investigated in the Black Sea during 2012–2016 using observations from the sea level stations at five locations along the southern coast of the Black Sea together with the sea surface height model from Copernicus Marine Service. Spectral and wavelet analysis of sea level data shows that CTWs exist in the Black Sea with a period of 12–13 days and 15 days duration. These waves propagate from west to east with a speed of 2.3–2.6 m s−1 and cause 10–20 cm variability in sea level. To investigate formation mechanisms of CTWs, sea surface height and surface velocities from Copernicus Marine Service, wind measurements from sea level stations and atmospheric model results from Copernicus Marine Service are jointly analyzed. These analyses showed that CTWs were formed when water accumulated on the western shelf after gale force alongshore winds blowing in the western Black Sea. Our results provide clear observational evidence on process of the excitement of CTWs by wind stress. CTWs generate a coastal current reaching up to 0.5 m s−1. This coastal current joins to large-scale cyclonic inertial current flowing over the continental slope and accelerates it. Hence, we present evidence on the influence of the CTWs on the large scale circulation.
Covid 19 and Stress among Students
Authors: L. Vijayashree , Srinivasa Shishira
Published: January 2022

In today's culture, there are numerous factors that may act as a stress catalyst, making stress a big aspect of one's life. Covid-19 has wrought tremendous havoc all over the planet. Stress isn't just an issue for adults; it's also growing more common among children of all ages. Proper stress management is incredibly difficult to achieve since parents do not have the time to adequately care for their children. Most people assume that stress can only be caused by a traumatic event, but the fact is that tension may also be caused by a good experience. There are numerous causes of student stress that can lead to stress in a student's life, including misbehavior between the student and the teacher, which can lead to increased tension and stress. A lack of parental engagement also led in attacks on all pupils. Children in general do not pay attention to their eating habits, making them more vulnerable to stress in general. Inadequate sleep is also a source of stress, and students all over the world suffer as a result. Students' capacity to manage stress is hit or miss.
Simplified Diagnosis Method for CHBMIs under Open-circuit Switch or Battery Failure
Authors: Kherif Omar , Zebbadji Tahar , Gherbi Youcef , Azzouze Mohamed Larbi , Teguar Madjid
Published: January 2022

This paper deals with the diagnosis of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters controlled by a sinusoidal level-shifted pulse-width modulation technique. For this purpose, the behaviour of 3, 5, 7 and 9-level inverters is studied for regular and faulty operation modes. Three types of recurring faults are considered, namely open-circuit of a switch, damaged and disconnected battery. Under a single fault, the output voltage signals are presented where the impact of each fault is discussed. In order to detect, identify and locate the three types of fault, a signal processing method is proposed, elaborating the output voltage of inverters with and without fault. The obtained results are convincing for the considered cases. The study shows no real correlation between the selected features from one to the other type of fault. Indeed, each fault type has its own trajectory with respect to the evolution of the output voltage characteristics. Thus, localizing the faulty component within the multilevel inverter can be made with no ambiguity. Such findings obviously solve a large part of problems associated with the presence of faults in multilevel inverters. They can help improving the reliability of the inverter in such way it continues working.
The Resistance
Authors: Alonso Antonio Eduardo
Published: January 2022

This chapter surfaces a pattern that undergirds a range of theological reflection on consumer culture and Christianity. Through attentiveness to the writings of Geoffrey Wainwright, William T. Cavanaugh, and Vincent Miller, it shows that, despite their different diagnoses of and solutions to the dynamics of contemporary consumerism, they all presuppose a logic that limits the ways in which we might think theologically through the ambiguities of consumer culture. This logic centers on convictions that both shape and reflect a much wider range of literature on the topic at its deepest levels: That the primary task of theology vis-à-vis consumer culture is resistance; that a meaningful contrast can and must be drawn between consumer culture and Christianity; that the privileged site of our cultural resistance is a Eucharistic one; and that the Eucharist should be celebrated in particular ways to shape such resistance. Remaining on the level of resistance limits our ability to see the activity of God in a consumer culture, the church, and the Eucharist. What is needed is not solely theologically-backed resistance, but a distinctly theological account of consumer culture.
Salvation in the Shape of an Apple
Authors: Alonso Antonio Eduardo
Published: January 2022

Through reflection on a series of discarded Apple products, this fragment looks at the ways in which Apple branding campaigns—from “1984” to “Think Different”—invest products with promises of countercultural deliverance from a dominant and dangerous culture in a way that closely resembles Christian prescriptions for counterculutral resistance to consumer culture. The author argues that at a time when everything worth doing, buying, or praying promises a revolution, far from resisting the market, thinking differently—even when it is informed by the gospel, the Eucharist, or the pope—is the orthodoxy of a market logic. Remedies for Christian tactical resistance end up looking a lot like the strategies they seek to resist. And yet, even in the mess of a world where our deepest hopes for transformation are sold back to us in the form of a product or a prayer, the author argues that the activity of God is never fully absent. It is precisely in their fallen state that these discarded commodidites testify, not merely as monuments to misshapen, misdirected, or false desire, but as objects that bear collective hopes that are only now beginning to be dimly visible through their cracks.
Psychology as Ideology-Lite: Butler, and the Trouble with Gender Theory
Authors: Ashtor Gila
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the metapsychological foundations of Butler’s theoretical claims in order to draw out the relationship she establishes between psychology and ideology. Since, by her own estimation, a coherent theory of subjection requires a psychoanalytic theory of the subject, Butler’s ambition to provide a better theory of power’s “psychic life” stands or falls with her successful development of a “psychological” account of power. And yet, an analysis of gender melancholia will show, that Butler’s use of psychology works to systematically deny any meaningful and practical distinction between “psychology” and “ideology.” This chapter focuses on Radclyffe Hall’s novel, The Well of Loneliness, which depicts the protagonist’s sexual “inversion.” Drawing on Jean Laplanche’s ideas of gender as “assignment,” this essay will show that while Butler offers a compelling account of how the social expectation of heterosexuality gets reproduced with particular implications for the assumption of a “masculine” or “feminine” ‘identity,’ her paradigm cannot ultimately account for the development of “gender” as a psychic experience because it cannot consider the psyche as a distinctive register that is produced by particular relationships to differentiated and psychological others.
Two Girls2: Sedgwick + Berlant, Relational and Queer
Authors: Ashtor Gila
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the status of relationality in contemporary queer theory through a cluster of related close readings: Mary Gaitskill’s novel, Two Girls, Fat and Thin, Lauren Berlant’s reading of Gaitskill’s novel and meditation on her relationship to Sedgwick in “Two Girls, Fat and Thin,” and my own relationship to “two girls” as a student of queer theory and Berlant. Characterizing her own approach as “impersonal” and anti-biographical, in sharp contrast to Sedgwick’s avowedly “personal” performances, Berlant uses the transformative relationship at the heart of the novel to substantiate her claim that a relational dynamic between two people must be either determinable or “hav[e] nothing to do with anything substantive about each other.” Through a close reading of the transformative relationship between the “two girls” of the novel, and the “two girls” of the essay, this chapter demonstrates that the anti-“personal” approach Berlant mobilizes as a defense of critical nuance leads to an impoverished conceptualization of subjectivity that uniformly fails to explain the psychological transformations that occur as a result of complex, intimate relationality.
Fruits
Authors: Bayne Brandon L.
Published: January 2022

The O’odham Revolt of 1695 elicited the familiar conclusion that missionary and Indigenous suffering seeded future fruits of spiritual conversion and territorial expansion. However, in distinction from earlier accounts that had emphasized providential causes and cosmic warfare, Jesuits in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries increasingly supplemented the spiritual logic with material causes and practical explanations. Some Jesuits had expressed skepticism about the methods of Father Eusebio Kino and the fidelity of his native charges. They contended that he had won easy conversions through material gifts and only laxly attended to priestly duties. This, they argued, had spoiled O’odham Christians and made them quick to rebel. Faced with grave doubts about the viability of the Pimería Alta mission, Kino paired traditional providential discourse with material explanations that drew upon diverse letters, regional histories, maps, and missiological theories to point to more quotidian causes and practical solutions. He argued that conversion demanded patient understanding, not increased stringency. Missionaries should learn from past mistakes, treat the O’odham with respect, deliver promised resources, and govern with common sense, prudence, and Christian Charity.
Simonides, Part 1
Authors: Berger Harry
Published: January 2022

This chapter is the first of a four-part reading of the Simonides poem (and how it is treated in surrounding dialogue) that treats its structure, implicit and explicit premises, and possible outcomes separately. Simonides, Part 1, introduces the poem in translation, concentrating on philological quirks foregrounding themes of poetry, sophistry, and how charismatically delivered argumentation can affect the argument and its participants.
Simonides, Part 2
Authors: Berger Harry
Published: January 2022

Having established the poem in the readers’ minds in the previous chapter, Simonides, Part 2, introduces a seven-part structure that the rest of the reading will follow, addressing each of the arguments included in the poem, as well as how Socrates and Protagoras use the poem in their argumentation. This chapter treats the first two of the seven divisions, focusing on the “opening debate” that introduces the poem into the dialog.
Life with Concepts
Authors: Brandel Andrew
Published: January 2022

This introductory chapter articulates a dissatisfaction shared by contributors with two main conventional claims about concepts, namely that they are mere tools of analysis, manipulated at will, and that they are more or less equivalent to signs. Both of these assumptions, the chapter argues, rely on a deeper conceit that concepts are what allow us to get a grasp on reality, as if reality were otherwise out of reach. The authors then propose an alternative approach inspired by Wittgenstein’s notion of a grammatical investigation.

How Q 5:75 Can Help Christians Conceptualize Atonement
Authors: Stosch Klaus von
Published: January 2022

The chapter presents the concepts of atonement of Eleonore Stump and Thomas Pröpper as ambitious concepts for understanding atonement today in Western Christian theology and philosophy. It tries to show how both concepts cause certain problems in conceiving the human relationship with God that are typical for the debates on atonement in Western and Eastern Christianity. A certain verse of the Qur’an is presented as an intervention that can be used for an improvement of both concepts of atonement. It becomes clear how deeply the Qur’an is connected with Christian theological discourse in late antiquity and how it can be responsive to its concerns even today.
Divine Suffering and Covenantal Belonging
Authors: Joslyn-Siemiatkoski Daniel
Published: January 2022

Post-supersessionist theologies identify soteriology as a primary site for the articulation of supersessionist Christian theology. A common point of departure for supersessionism is reading God’s covenant with Israel as meaningful only in so far as it prepares for the saving activity of Jesus Christ centered in his atoning death. As such, any attempt to develop a non-supersessionist Christian theology requires a re-articulation of soteriological narratives and claims that retain the integrity of both Israel’s covenant and Christ’s death. This chapter offers a comparative reading of Abraham Joshua Heschel and Jürgen Moltmannn on divine suffering to argue that understanding covenantal belonging is necessary for articulating a non-supersessionist Christian theology of the atonement.
Conducting “Symphonia” in Russian Lands
Authors: Džalto Davor
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the reception and development of traditional Orthodox political theologies in the Russian lands, from the time of Prince Vladimir up until the fall of the Russian Empire. These political theologies are compared with their Western counterparts. Special attention is paid to the theological articulations of the position and role of Russian Czars, as well as to the concepts of Moscow as the “Third Rome” or “New Jerusalem.”
The Cloud of Unknowing on the Litil Worde of O Silable
Authors: Kirk Jordan
Published: January 2022

This chapter suggests that the anonymous mystical treatise called the Cloud of Unknowing should be read in the light of the linguistic accounts of nonsignification examined in previous chapters. What emerges from such a reading is the central importance of the meditation technique that the treatise recommends, which can be seen to consist in the mantric repetition of an utterance to the point of nonsense. What the Cloud-author invents is a means of transforming one’s own voice into a glossolalic instrument so as to produce a state in which the mind will encounter, as in Burley’s material supposition, its own failure to cognize; but here this same “unknowing” becomes an apophatic knowledge of God.
The Form of Love
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

Can poetry, even a deeply philosophical poetry, articulate something about love that philosophy itself cannot? The Form of Love argues that it can. In close readings of seven “metaphysical” poems, this book shows how figures ranging from John Donne to Emily Dickinson use poetic form to turn philosophy to new ends, transforming its concern to know truth about love into concern to create virtual experiences of love. These poems create strange loves made in, rather than through, the forms—the devices, structures and forces particular to verse—where they appear. Tracing how poems think, this book argues, requires an intimate form of reading: close—from one perspective, even too close—attention to and thinking with the text. In The Form of Love, Kuzner reads as closely as possible in order to consider as seriously as possible how poetry thinks of love otherwise than other fields: how poems do not complete philosophy or compete with it, and how poetry and philosophy instead can enter into a relation that is itself like love.
Loving Rhyme: Reading Mastery in Crashaw's “The Flaming Heart”
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the workings of rhyme in Richard Crashaw’s “The Flaming Heart,” with focus on how the poem’s couplets produce likeness and difference in ways both painfully commonplace and completely unpredictable. Crashaw’s speaker uses couplets to think through how a painter wrongly represents Teresa of Avila’s Life and how he can best read that Life, with rhymes that create effects of difference—and likeness—in conservative but also radical fashion. Early strophes adopt a critical tone, creating effects of distance and difference as a means for establishing control and even mastery, over Teresa as his subject and over readers who would properly adore her. Later, though, the speaker strives for likeness with his rhymes, interested now in “rhyming” with Teresa by being mastered by her writing. In the final strophe, the poem’s Teresa more strongly resembles the saint of the Life, and the speaker himself resembles her more too, relinquishing mastery in favor of humility and a longing for self-loss. Yet he remains unlike Teresa in not wishing to move beyond loss to rebirth, and in using reading—and rhyme—to help himself to a distinctly poetic kind of death.
Love and/ or Lyric: Dickinson's “I cannot live with You-”
Authors: Kuzner James
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers Emily Dickinson’s F706—the poem which begins, “I cannot live with You-.” But F706 does rather more than just explain why its speaker cannot live with her beloved; it also explains why the two can neither die nor rise together. Critics often link Dickinson to metaphysical traditions, and this chapter also considers Dickinson’s poem “metaphysical” in the sense that this book articulates: it invests in a virtual form of love at least as much as in an actual, and uses poetry’s affordances to realize a love, in this case a recessive one, in which the speaker finds a distinctive non-sovereign freedom. Dickinson’s speaker empties the lyric present and puts in its place imagined stories that she then refuses but that nonetheless have power: that saturate her as a lyric subject and her stanzas as a lyric moment in which speaker, beloved, and reader “meet apart.” If Hegel, this chapter’s principal philosophical interlocutor, suggests that lyric poets struggle for sovereignty, for mastery over the subjects that engross them, those of this book allow their “topic” to master them, so that they might be unmade and remade through a virtual life of love.
Creator of Heaven and Earth: Catholicism and the “Catholic” in The Power and the Glory and The End of the Affair
Authors: Sampson Martyn
Published: January 2022

The Power and the Glory (1940) and The End of the Affair (1951) each offer different and shifting approaches to the relationships between form and experience, and theme and dogma. In The Power and the Glory, the whisky priest presents different kinds of beauty, each of which proceeds from significant aspects of the growingly important Catholic theological aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Greene places critical emphasis on how The End of the Affair draws attention to itself as a work of fiction, rather than the embodiment of a particular religious belief. Bendrix’s narrative is specific to Sarah’s conflicted sense of religious belief. The contingent ways in which Greene is read means that the exploration of novelistic context is worthy, plausible, and necessary, rather than an element of literary critique which should be overlooked.
Theory and Theology: Graham Greene’s Remapping of Common Ground
Authors: Sampson Martyn
Published: January 2022

Attention in this chapter is focused on Greene’s texts themselves, as distinct from their relationships or conflicts with any particular version of religion. If in Brighton Rock, Pinkie and Rose’s characters should be framed within the terms of the text, any critique of The Heart of the Matter should not be limited to Greene’s capacity to trouble a Catholic notion of pity. In The Power and the Glory, at the level of Juan’s story and the lieutenant’s atheism, Greene assumes particular imaginative contexts, which, in The End of the Affair, intersect with those that are figurative, whereby Sarah’s Catholicism undermines multiple critical premises. In The Honorary Consul, through León’s conflicted marriage with Marta, Greene questions the worth of imposing on his text any single notion of the Catholic. Concomitantly, Monsignor Quixote is less a text implicated in different notions of the Catholic, than an interrogation of what a Catholic novel is.
Hijras, Lovers, Brothers
Authors: Saria Vaibhav
Published: January 2022

This book seeks to describe the fullness of lives. As one of India’s third gendered populations, hijras are too often and easily relegated to positions of marginality as if their lives can be fully contained within the imperatives of survival. By offering a way of thinking about sexuality in Indian kinship in relation to the queer figure, and by restating an argument for psychoanalytic thinking of the Indian family, the hijra is invited to step out from the long reaching shadows of global discourses of HIV prevention and human rights. Hijras are situated within the moral and ethical dramas that define their everyday lives such as discharging the duties of kinship, achieving financial solvency, choreographing love affairs, and participating in the sociality of the local world. By studying scenes in the marketplace where the flirting between the hijra and the men of the village take place, easy readings of marginality and the outsider status ascribed to the hijra are disputed. The focus is shifted from the queer son and the patriarchal father to the hijra sibling and her brother, to offer a new way of thinking about the Oedipal drama in South Asia. Dwelling with the hijras for a period of two years, begging on the trains with them and co-inhabiting various other sites offers a provocation to think about hijras as embedded in fields of power and circles of sociality that do not reduce their lives to suffocating oppression but render them in terms of aspirations for ethical accounting.
He Knew the One Whom He Loved
Authors: Ryan Patrick J.
Published: January 2022

This chapter presents a brief background of Avery Dulles before looking at two experiences of his senior year at Harvard College which can provide some insight into the scholar and the human being he eventually became. His years in Rome prepared Dulles to start his career teaching theology. Through all those years, he worked within Catholic circles and also ecumenically to reconcile opposing ideas and work out new syntheses, especially of theological thought. The source of the Latin inscription on the coat of arms of Cardinal Dulles, Scio cui credidi, is the Second Letter of Paul to Timothy: “I know the one in whom I have put my trust” (2 Tm 1:12). Another way of translating that phrase is “I know the one in whom I have placed my faith.” There is a quantum jump between deistic intuition and living faith in the Lord Jesus, and Dulles spent his life making that quantum jump.
The Church and the Digital
Authors: Schmidt Katherine G.
Published: January 2022

This chapter places Avery Dulles's work in conversation with the burgeoning field of digital theology. It may appear at first glance that Dulles was at best disinterested in digital culture and at worst, thought it a hindrance to the work of the Church in the world. However, the chapter sees a natural relationship between digital theology and Dulles's work. The primary context for both Dulles's ecclesiology and considerations of digital culture in its light is the American Catholic Church. Indeed, the chapter considers the American Catholic experience, which extends well beyond the boundaries of institutional Catholicism in the context of the United States. Dulles himself, of course, was sensitive not only to the pluralism within the Church in the United States, but also to the challenges and opportunities of ecumenism as the twentieth century drew to a close. Dulles's work on the strengths and weaknesses of different ecclesial models is a response to the diversity both within and outside of the Catholic Church.

I wish to begin by acknowledging what an incredible honor it has been to organize and edit this volume of remarkable contributors. A decade after his death, it still nearly buckles my knees and leaves me with a sort of spiritual vertigo when I ponder the gifts and opportunities that my time with Cardinal Dulles provided to my academic development as a theologian, my journey of faith as a Christian, and my relationship to the world around me, and all of the people in it. It is a profound blessing that I continue to reflect upon and live ...

India Meteorological Department, New Delhi receives and process NOAA TOVS and ATOVS data in real time. The physical and neural network approaches have been used to retrieve atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles from NOAA-16 & 17 satellites AMSU data over Indian region. The earlier training data set based on global data only for two seasons used in neural network technique has been replaced by new training data set based on regional data over land and ocean for all the seasons. The new training data set has improved the temperature and moisture profiles accuracy retrieved using neural network approach compared to physical method. The detail validation and inter comparisons of temperature and moisture profiles have also been carried out with ECMWF analysis over sea and land separately for different seasons for the year 2002-2003. The performance of neural network technique is found to be superior compared to physical method.

Recently, temperature and moisture profiles retrieved from NOAA-16 ATOVS data over Indian region have been used in regional NWP model for the impact study. The operational NWP system of India Meteorological Department is based on a Limited Area Analysis and Forecasting System (LAFS), which consists of real time processing of data received on Global Telecommunication System (GTS), objective analysis by 3-D multivariate optimum interpolation (OI) scheme and a multi-layer primitive equation model. Several experiments were performed using temperature and moisture profiles retrieved from NOAA-16 ATOVS data. Using this data several experiments were undertaken to examine the impact of these data sets on some of the important weather systems such as monsoon depression, active monsoon conditions during monsoon 2003. The preliminary studies reveal that these additional data have a positive impact on rainfall prediction of the limited area model. Results of specific cases of impact studies are presented in the paper.
Nutraceutical Intervention of Seeds in the Treatment of Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome; A Systematic Review
Authors: Aslam Maria , Shauket Rameesha , Yousaf Zoha , Tehzeeb Kinza
Published: January 2022

In poly cystic ovary syndrome multiple cysts formation occurs in female ovaries. It is highly prevalent in developing countries like Pakistan and India. Its symptoms include irregular menstrual cycle, abnormal hair growth pattern, acne and mood swings. This disease is also associated with imbalance in androgen levels (which include testosterone and estrogen) and high insulin levels also called hyperinsulinemia. It also contributes in the development of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancers. Seed cycling is a modern method used in alternate medicine of treating PCOS by using different seeds in the different stages of menstrual cycle. In this review article we will find out how seed cycling is effective in the treatment of PCOS. Flax, sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seed combinations are being used at different stages of female menstrual cycle. Flaxseeds contain lignans, omega 3 fatty acids and fibre which help in relieving the symptoms of polycystic ovaries. Sesame and sunflower seeds contain high number of fatty acids and lignans which helps in balancing hormonal disturbances in female. Losing weight by having diet rich in fibre improve the level of cholesterol and it is also beneficial decreasing the level of insulin resistance, which if not treated can progressed into type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. Herbal medicine in Ayurveda has shown promising effects in relieving pre- menstrual symptoms, hormonal fluctuations and the co-morbidities.

Published: January 2022

Back-to-back hurricanes prompted the creation of a partnership between Western Carolina University and an affected community in western North Carolina. The partnership was designed to promote the economic, social, and cultural revitalization of the community while creating opportunities for civic engagement and enriched student learning. The principal stakeholders in the partnership were the university and the municipal government, representing the community at large. The partners undertook several projects over a three-year period as part of a comprehensive, multifaceted initiative. In this article, the authors discuss the benefits and impact of the projects on participants and the community. They also share the insights gained and lessons learned from the initiative and comment briefly on factors inherent in effective university-community partnerships.

Published: January 2022

While university-community partnerships have become a common practice for many universities, little empirical evidence is available exploring the impact of such partnerships for either the community partners or the university. This project collected data from a series of university-community engagement grants funded by Virginia Commonwealth University to understand the importance and consequences of its funding for the community partners, the university, the faculty, and the community members involved with the projects. Characteristics of the funded projects contributing to positive and continued engagement were identified. Differences in outcomes as identified by the university partner and the community partners were also identified.
Set Charge about Change: The Effects of a Long-Term Youth Civic Engagement Program
Authors: Smith Robbin
Published: January 2022

In an effort to create an enhanced sense of civic engagement within the U.S. population, a variety of initiatives have been launched recently. Predominantly, these efforts have focused on young adults in high school and college. Although some programs have targeted younger age groups as well, they are typically short in duration. This case study focuses on a small group of elementary school students who participated in a long-term youth engagement program. The participants’ civic knowledge, civic skills, and civic efficacy were measured at regular intervals throughout the 17 months of the program. The findings suggest that, at the end of the project, all of the participants demonstrated increased civic knowledge and skills, and an enhanced sense of civic efficacy. An analysis of what happened during the project and the lessons that may be applicable to those who undertake civic engagement projects with younger children is also offered.
La educación superior en el Perú en tiempos de pandemia y sus efectos en las trayectorias de estudiantes universitarios indígenas

Published: January 2022

El presente artículo busca ofrecer evidencias sobre los impactos de la COVID-19 en la educación superior de jóvenes indígenas peruanos. Conociendo que se trata de una población históricamente excluida es muy importante señalar cómo la impactan de forma particular los escenarios de emergencia, tanto por la acumulación de los efectos de la exclusión histórica como por la renovada evidencia de acciones del Estado que siguen sin considerar las condiciones de vida de la población indígena. Basados en un ejercicio de estado del arte, al que se suman el seguimiento sincrónico de noticias, medidas oficiales, espacios virtuales (webinars) en donde se han expresado líderes y estudiantes universitarios, así como conversaciones personales con funcionarios, consideramos que aun con los límites que la pandemia impuso a la investigación cualitativa, este artículo tiene mucho para aportar al debate sobre el acceso, permanencia y egreso de los estudiantes de pueblos indígenas a la educación superior.
Türkiye İşveren Sendikaları Konfederasyonu’nun Kuruluş Yıllarında Grev Hakkına Yaklaşımı
Authors: EKREM Nuray
Published: January 2022

Çalışma 1961-1963 döneminde kademeli olarak kuruluşunu tamamlayan TİSK’in bu yıllarda grev hakkına yaklaşımını belirleme amacındadır. Bu yıllar “işveren sendikacılığı” bakımından, hızlı bir yeniden yapılanma ve toparlanma süreci ve yeni bir döneme geçiş aşamasıdır. Söz konusu yıllar, önce Anayasa ve daha sonra 274 ve 275 sayılı yasalarla sendika, toplu iş sözleşmesi ve grev hakkının güvence altına alınması itibariyle çalışma ilişkileri bakımından da yepyeni bir döneme geçişi temsil eden yıllardır. Çalışmada TİSK’in kuruluş yılları ve grev hakkının güvence altına alınma ve kurumsallaşma süreci birbiriyle ilişkili bir biçimde incelenecek, TİSK’in grev hakkının kurumsallaşmasına dair görüşleri Konfederasyon yayınları, basın açıklamaları ve çeşitli kaynaklar üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Daha sonra dönemin önemli işçi eylemlerinden olan Kavel grevi örneği üzerinden TİSK’in fiili grev hareketine ilişkin tutum ve davranışları belirlenecektir. Böylece “işveren sendikacılığının” önemli bir aktörü olan TİSK’in kuruluş yıllarında grev hakkına yaklaşımı, söylem ve uygulamada iki yönlü olarak ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.

Character is a foothold of knowledge and skills. Knowledge and skills without the right personality foundation will be misleading and destructive. The character in the form of personality is owned through the educational process. The role of the teacher helps in shaping the character of students by providing examples, ways of speaking or delivering good material, tolerance, and various other related matters. The researcher uses an approach method with training activities in this community service. The conclusion stated that this training was quite successful where the trainees were very enthusiastic in training activities, this was also because each teacher had never received socialization from the government regarding government policies by providing Strengthening Character Education in Schools.
