Aim: To determine the willingness and barriers of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)-based nurses in Malaysian hospitals in reporting medication errors. Background: Reporting incidents is important in improving patients’ safety and developing a healthy culture of learning from mistakes. Method: Three self-developed scenarios, ranging from mild, moderate to severe medication administration errors, were used to identify nurses’ willingness to report an error. A validated questionnaire assessing barriers to reporting errors was adapted. The sample size calculated was 139. All 22 NICUs in government-funded hospitals were approached. Nurses were randomly recruited and given a URL to access the online questionnaire. Results: Of 182 nurses from 15 hospitals who participated, 91.2% (n=166) were willing to report medication errors and patient safety was the main concern to report it. Among the nurses (n=16, 8.8%) who chose not to report medication errors, they were worried about getting into trouble (87.5%), information being shared with managers (56.3%), disciplinary actions and medico-legal issues (50.0%). Conclusion: Most NICU nurses were willing to report a medication error, and the barriers to the minority of them not reporting should be given attention. Implications: Reassurance by the managers for not penalizing the nurses who report an error should be emphasized in the incident reporting policy.
New considerations on a spiritual difficulty for public health, including questions about quantum probabilities and comprehensibility of worlds
Authors:   European University Press, Bochum, Germany, Woesler Richard
Published: December 2022

In a previous study a spiritual difficulty for public health was considered, that many people say that there would be definitely no afterlife with Judgment Day, and that some such persons might sometimes try to harm innocent others secretly to obtain advantages, e.g., financial, with negative impact on public health. Considering additional knowledge, new thought experiments are conducted, including arbitrary infinite bitstrings as programs, run, e.g., on theoretical Turing machines, and mathematical structures providing generalized findings, including results for questions of quantum probabilities, e.g., the Born rule - which is experimentally confirmed. In quantum processes, randomness instead of pseudorandomness is more probable than within the less general structures of the previous study. This is achieved designing generalized structures, e.g., programs, which do not function when they are “alone”. Additional structures show that pseudorandomness remains relevant. A paradox of the extreme variety of incomprehensible universes is described. It could be solved here considering further structures, e.g., the extremely large number of, e.g., world part copies simulated by various short programs, providing a large probability for comprehensible worlds. In all these mathematical structures, aliens’ pains emerge naturally.

A new transdisciplinary perspective on the integration of knowledge is introduced in the context of the informergic society/economy (KBS/E) to achieve, share and implement the knowledge giving the openness to a better understanding of the world, using sustainable, integrative all-life learning. A new more complete perspective on the well-known system of knowledge integration, based on a five steps scale in a synergistic-generative transdisciplinary process to achieve, transfer and implement knowledge in the knowledge-based society/economy (KBS/E) context is configured, connecting DIMLAK knowledge paradigm to Knowledge Integration Management (KIM). It presents a possible connection between the all¬life, sustainable, integrative learning and the DIMLAK hetero-hierarchic paradigm of knowledge in the biblical context, the heaven ladder from Sychar.

Published: December 2022

The article aims at discussing the case studies of the Romanian Orthodox churches in Dublin and the unique Romanian Orthodox monastery in Shannonbridge, Ireland. The general context is that of a growing Romanian diaspora in Ireland, hence the necessity of such “informal ambassadors”, in the sense of institutions that are both keepers of Romanianness and mediators for better integration in Irish society. We will also offer an overview of the collaboration between the Romanian churches and the Embassy in Dublin for the benefit of the Romanian diasporic community.
Width of plasmaspheric plumes related to the level of geomagnetic storm intensity
Authors: Yang Zhanrong , Li Haimeng , Yuan Zhigang , Ouyang Zhihai , Deng Xiaohua
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The plume is a plasma region in the magnetosphere that is detached from the
main plasmasphere. It significantly contributes to the dynamic processes in
both the inner and outer magnetosphere. In this paper, using Van Allen Probe A (VAP-A), the correlation between plume width and the level of geomagnetic storm intensity is studied. First, through the statistical analysis of all potential plume events, we find that there is almost no correlation between plume width and the level of geomagnetic storm intensity. However, for the plumes in the recovery phase after improved sifting, it seems that there is a negative correlation between the plume width and the absolute value of minimum Dst during a storm. Utilizing test particle simulations, we study the dynamic evolution patterns of plumes during two geomagnetic storms. The simulated structures of the two plasmaspheric plumes are roughly consistent with the structures observed by the Van Allen Probe A. This result suggests that the plasmaspheric particles escape quickly during intense geomagnetic storms, causing the width of the plume to be relatively narrow during the recovery phase of intense geomagnetic storms. These results are helpful for understanding the dynamic evolution of the plasmasphere and plume during geomagnetic storms.
Climate and geology overwrite land use effects on soil organic nitrogen cycling on a continental scale

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Soil fertility and plant productivity are globally
constrained by N availability. Proteins are the largest N reservoir in soils,
and the cleavage of proteins into small peptides and amino acids has been
shown to be the rate-limiting step in the terrestrial N cycle. However, we
are still lacking a profound understanding of the environmental controls of
this process. Here we show that integrated effects of climate and soil
geochemistry drive protein cleavage across large scales. We measured gross
protein depolymerization rates in mineral and organic soils sampled across a
4000 km long European transect covering a wide range of climates, geologies
and land uses. Based on structural equation models we identified that soil
organic N cycling was strongly controlled by substrate availability, e.g., by
soil protein content. Soil geochemistry was a secondary predictor, by
controlling protein stabilization mechanisms and protein availability.
Precipitation was identified as the main climatic control on protein
depolymerization, by affecting soil weathering and soil organic matter
accumulation. In contrast, land use was a poor predictor of protein
depolymerization. Our results highlight the need to consider geology and
precipitation effects on soil geochemistry when estimating and predicting
soil N cycling at large scales.
Ring-width and blue-light chronologies of Podocarpus lawrencei from southeastern mainland Australia reveal a regional climate signal

Published: December 2022

Abstract. High-resolution palaeoclimate proxies are fundamental to our understanding
of the diverse climatic history of the Australian mainland, particularly
given the deficiency in instrumental datasets spanning more than a
century. Annually resolved, tree-ring-based proxies play a unique role in
addressing limitations in our knowledge of interannual to multi-decadal
temperature and hydroclimatic variability prior to the instrumental period.
Here we present cross-dated ring-width (RW) and minimum blue-intensity (BI)
chronologies spanning 70 years (1929–1998) for Podocarpus lawrencei Hook.f., the Australian mainland's only alpine conifer, based on nine full-disc cross-sections from Mount Loch in the Victorian Alps. Correlations with climate variables from observation stations and gridded data across the 1929–1998 period reveal a significant positive relationship between RW and mean monthly maximum temperatures in winter throughout central Victoria (r=0.62, p<0.001) and a significant negative correlation to winter precipitation (r=-0.51, p<0.001). We also found significant negative correlations between RW and monthly snow depth at Spencer Creek in New South Wales (r=-0.60, p<0.001). Of the assessed BI parameters, delta blue intensity (ΔBI; the difference between early- and late-wood BI) displayed the greatest sensitivity to climate, with robust spatial correlations with mean October to December maximum and minimum monthly temperatures (r=-0.43, p<0.001; r=-0.51, p<0.001) and July precipitation (r=0.44, p<0.001), across large areas of northern Victoria. These promising findings highlight the utility of this species for future work. With the very limited availability of suitable long-lived and cross-datable species on the Australian mainland, these results have significant implications for advancing high-resolution palaeoclimate science in southeastern Australia and for improving our understanding of past climate in the region.
A model for the Artic mixed layer circulation under a summertime lead: Implications on the near-surface temperature maximum formation
Authors: Alvarez Alberto
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Leads in the sea ice sheet have been studied extensively because of their climate relevance. In summer, there is an intense heat exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere in the leads. Leads are also preferential melting sites in early summer, but their oceanography and climate relevance, if any, remains largely unexplored during this period of the year. In particular, the development of a near-surface temperature maximum (NSTM) layer at typically 10–30 m deep under different Arctic Basins, has been related observationally to the penetration of solar radiation through the leads. The observations reveal that the concatenation of calm and wind events in the leads could facilitate the development of the NSTM layer. This study investigates, using numerical modelling and an idealized framework, the formation of the NSTM layer under a summer lead exposed to a combination of calm and moderate wind periods. During the calm period, solar heat accumulates in the upper layers under the lead. Near-surface convection cells are generated daily, extending from the lead sides to its center. Convection cells affect the heat storage in the mixed layer under the lead and the adjacent ice cap. A subsequent wind event (and corresponding ice drift) mixes and spreads fresh and cold meltwater into the warm layers near the surface. Surface mixing results in temperatures in the near-surface layers that are lower than in the deeper layers, where the impact of the surface stresses is weaker. Also, the warm waters initially located under the lead surface stretch and spread horizontally. Thus an NSTM layer is formed. The study analyses the sensitivity of depth and temperature of the NSTM layer to buoyancy forcing, wind intensity and ice drift. Numerical results suggest that the NSTM layer appears with moderate wind and ice drift, and disappears when wind intensity is higher than 9 ms-1. According to the results, ice drift is key in the development of the NSTM layer.

Authors: Dr Sadaf Shahab, Dr M. Tariq Mehmood Tahira Jabeen Saleh,
Published: December 2022

Having a sense of satisfaction with work-life balance is ascertained in the present study. The work-life balance is studied with reference to the locus of control phenomenon. 200 working women were taken as a sample, from Pakistan in order to analyze the roles of internal and external locus of control in determining work life balance. The data is obtained using questionnaires along with the consent form to ensure confidentiality and the purpose of the study was briefed. The responses obtained were analyzed using Descriptive Statistics, Correlation, paired Sample t-test, Reliability analysis and Regression Analysis. The findings of the study demonstrated that women with external locus of control reported higher levels of satisfaction with respect to work-life balance whereas women with an internal locus of control reported slightly lower levels of satisfaction. It was because women with an internal locus of control tend to focus more on a child than work. Whereas women with an external locus of control manage work and family together. But working women with both internal and external locus of control are faced with stress that needs to be addressed.

Published: December 2022

The dependency on fossil fuels for power generation can be reduced by enhancing the energy efficiency of power generating systems. The refrigeration systems that typically use electricity consume a significant portion of the electricity supplied to cities. The STAND-ALONE refrigeration system which consists of a combined Organic Rankine Cycle and Vapor Compression (ORC-VCR) system is analyzed using the first law of thermodynamics. Dry natural hydrocarbons such as n-Dodecane is used as the working fluid in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and natural Working fluid such as isobutane (R600a) is utilized in Vapor Compression Refrigeration (VCR) Cycle. The study shows that the system can be driven efficiently with Low-grade waste heat from industries or thermal energy from renewable energy sources typically in the range from 1000C to 3500C thus reducing reliance on fossil fuel sources. The results also show that the overall Coefficient of performance COP overall of the system and the energy efficiency of the ORC was greatly affected by the evaporation temperature of ORC, Teva_ORC followed by, the evaporation temperature of VCR, Teva_VCR. The maximum COP overall of the system was found to be 0.558 and the energy efficiency of ORC was found to be 20.69% for Teva_ORC of 3150C and Teva_VCR of -300C.

Published: December 2022

The aim of the study is to observe the pattern of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) with the usage of various anti-cancer drugs in a tertiary care hospital of North East India. The study is a prospective, observational evaluation of the ADRs which was conducted over a period of 1 year. During the study period 59 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy were analysed from which a total of 79 ADRs were identified and collected which occurred during and after the cancer treatment. Maximum cases of ADR recorded in the study are mucositis, respiratory disorder, neuropathy, constipation, itching etc. On causality assessment, it was observed that nearly 92% ADRs are considered as possible, 6% are probable and 2% are unlikely. Although, the reporting of ADR is very minimal by the healthcare professionals, this study focuses on the various common ADR associated with the use of anti-cancer agents in the treatment of cancer. The information from the study might be helpful in identifying and minimizing preventable ADRs, while enhancing the knowledge of the healthcare professionals to deal with them more efficiently. Hence the study was done to record and analyze the pattern of adverse drug reaction from oncology drugs.

A Corpus-Based Study on Politeness Used by L1 Thai EFL Learners
Authors: Pan Zhaoyi
Published: December 2022

This research aimed to identify politeness super-strategies, the strategies under each category of super-strategy, and common lexical patterns in each strategy when performed by L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners in English conversation. It attempted to use the corpus-based approach to examine the pattern of how L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners use politeness in English conversation and, on the other hand, to examine the existing problems with L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners’ use of politeness super-strategies based on the findings. In total, 30 L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners were involved in this research. A learner corpus was built to investigate the use of politeness super-strategies and the frequencies of lexical patterns. The findings illustrated that L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners tended toward using the negative politeness super-strategy, while no off record super-strategy was found. Moreover, L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners used a limited number of politeness strategies under the super-strategy categories identified in this research, with a limited selection of lexical patterns in each strategy. The findings reveal that L1 Thai intermediate-level EFL learners adopt only a small range of politeness strategies, thereby resulting in a discrepancy in the performance of politeness in English conversation.
Power of Incentives and Optimal Time of Investment in a Building-Blocks Approach to Regulation of an Open-Access FTTH Network
Authors: Beltrán Fernando
Published: December 2022

New Zealand’s amended Telecommunications Act, 2018 New Regulatory Framework, describes new regulations primarily based on regulation already used in electricity lines, gas pipelines, and airports. This regulatory approach, new to the telecommunications sector and known as the Building Blocks Model (BBM), seeks to determine “price-quality paths” and “information disclosure determinations” based on the condition that the present value of the firm’s allowed revenue is equal to the present value of the firm’s expenditure. This article investigates the impact of the incentive structure on the regulated firm’s investment behavior. More specifically, it models and analyses the incentive structure provided by the implementation of BBM in the wholesale fiber-based broadband market of New Zealand, as well as its effects on the timing of investment.
WARGAMING THEORY

Published: December 2022

In this article, we want to make an overview of a distinct stage in the process of planning military operations, namely wargaming. From our point of view, as specialists in the field of military art, wargaming is a particular aspect of the decision-making process, offering the possibility to identify optimal response solutions, depending on certain variables of the operational environment. Thus, in this approach, we will start from the main historical landmarks regarding the appearance and development of the domain, so that later we can present certain particularities of wargaming, on which occasion we will be able to identify the general theory of the domain, next to developing a series of directions of action, adapted to probable courses of action of a possible enemy. The development of military art, the experience of military strategists, the emergence of new technologies, and the adaptation of tactics to changes on the battlefield, represent a milestone in the way of conducting both warfare and wargaming. The only constant in this field is that human imagination is limitless and we can only hope that the military specialists will find the proper solution to transform fiction into a reality. Thus, we address not only the specialists but also those who are at the beginning of their military career,offering a perspective on the field.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, the author continues the discussion he started in Budgell (2021): Alternative Approaches to Vocational Education and Training. A presentation of the basic ability distribution (as determined by the World Population Review (2020)) of the Bulgarian Population is followed by an analysis of the Programme for International Student Progress 2018. The author then goes on the analyse the efficiency of the Bulgarian Education System by analysing the school structure in one municipality. This is followed by an analysis of the effectiveness of the system which indicates that, even given the basic ability distribution, the pupils’ skills in reading, mathematics and science are below expectations. The data indicates that the problems with developing basic skills are concentrated in Vocational/Professional Schools. The author goes on the conclude that there should be a smaller number of larger schools (130 – 156 pupils in each grade) providing greater choice for the pupils. Furthermore, vocational training should commence in Grade 11 in larger Vocational Colleges that provide a wider range of career paths and enable pupils to postpone their career decision until they are at least 17 years old.

Вирус чумы плотоядных является высококонтагиозным патогеном, который характеризуется лихорадкой, пневмонией, воспалением слизистых оболочек, лейкопенией и поражением центральной нервной системы,приводящей часто к летальному исходу. К этой болезни восприимчивы все собаки, независимо от породы, норки, песцы, волки, лисицы, тюлени, тигры и.т.д. В последние годы межвидовые инфекции чумы плотоядных наблюдались у нечеловекообразных приматов, включая выведенных и диких макак-резусов и яванских макак. Смертность от чумы плотоядных у макак-резусов достигает 5–30%. Несмотря на почти столетнюю историю борьбы с этой инфекцией остаются актуальными вопросы диагностики, профилактики и специфического лечения. Учитывая важность этой проблемы, для разработки диагностических или профилактических средств необходимо наработать высокоактивную вирусную биомассу. В связи с этим, наши исследования посвящены изучению культуральных свойств и определению оптимальных условий культивирования вируса чумы плотоядных. В результате исследований наиболее оптимальной для размножения вируса чумы плотоядных нами выбрана культура клеток Vero. При этом ЦПД вируса развивается через 48-56 часов c титром вируса 6,25 lg ТЦД50/см3. Также определеныоптимальные параметры культивирования вируса чумы плотоядных в культуреклеток Vero.

Canine distemper virus is a highly contagious pathogen characterized by fever, pneumonia, mucosal inflammation, leukopenia, and central nervous system involvement. This often leads to the death of carnivores. All dogs, regardless of breed, are susceptible to this disease, minks, arctic foxes, wolves, foxes, seals, tigers, etc. In recent years, interspecific infections of canine distemper have been observed in non-human primates, including bred and wild rhesus monkeys and cynomolgus monkeys. Mortality from canine distemper in rhesus monkeys reaches 5–30%. Despite almost a century of history of the fight against this infection, the issues of diagnosis, prevention and specific treatment remain relevant. Considering the importance of this problem, it is necessary to develop a highly active viral biomass in order to develop diagnostic or prophylactic agents. In this regard, our studies were devoted to studying the cultural properties and determining the optimal conditions for the cultivation of canine distemper virus. As a result of research, we have recognized the Vero cell culture as the most optimal for the propagation of canine distemper virus. Cytopathic effect of the virus develops in 48-56 hours, the virus titer was 6.25 lg TCID50/cm3. The main parameters of canine distemper virus cultivation in Vero cell culture were also determined.

Published: December 2022

Background: There is epidemic fatigue due to the prolonged COVID-19-related restrictions. Some individuals seem to exercise fewer precautions recently in comparison to the onset of the pandemic. Aim: To assess psychological and behavioral responses to COVID-19 and media influences at fourth versus first wave. Design: Online cross-sectional survey. Methods: A total of 1005 participants were recruited using snowball sampling from nine Arab countries Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Kuwait, Syria and Libya    through fourth wave of COVID-19. Five questionnaires were employed: General Information Questionnaire, Psychological and Behavioral Responses, Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Health Belief Model (HBM) Construct and Media Exposure Questionnaire. Results: Most of participants reported low level of; psychological responses (86%), Corona disease anxiety (78.3%) and media exposure (84.6%). Although majority of participants (70%) indicated low barriers to adhere the preventive behavior, (37%) reported a lower compliance than the first wave and (35.6%) had low perceived susceptibility. There was statistically significant positive correlation between media exposure and health beliefs, psychological and behavioral responses to COVID-19, and Corona disease anxiety. Conclusion: The proper use of social media for information purposes is beneficial in shaping psychological and behavioral responses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Innovación, redes y territorio. Un análisis del sistema apícola del centro de Santa Fe, Argentina
Authors: Balletta Andrea , Locher María
Published: December 2022

Argentina es uno de los principales productores y exportadores de miel a nivel mundial, por ello debe cumplir con los exigentes requisitos de calidad y trazabilidad de los mercados consumidores. Para atender a estas demandas, se han desarrollado innovaciones que requirieron de la organización y la cooperación entre actores públicos y privados. En este contexto, el objetivo del presente artículo es caracterizar las redes de actores que articulan los procesos de innovación en el sistema de producción apícola del centro de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, una región con importante concentración de productores apícolas e instituciones vinculadas al producto. Se utilizó un enfoque teórico relacional que permite comprender los diferentes tipos de vínculos mercantiles como no mercantiles, que se establecen entre los actores, es decir, las relaciones socioeconómicas que regulan los procesos de innovación en los sistemas productivos. Desde el punto de vista empírico, se realizó un abordaje cualitativo a partir del análisis de entrevistas realizadas a actores clave del sistema que permiten identificar los roles, los vínculos que se establecen y las percepciones que estos actores tienen sobre el sistema de innovación apícola. Para el análisis de las entrevistas se utilizó el método comparativo constante. Los resultados muestran que en el sistema de producción analizado se realizan innovaciones de productos (en genética de abejas y productos de la colmena y derivados), innovaciones de procesos (vinculadas al manejo de la colmena y el uso de maquinarias y equipos), e innovaciones organizacionales (referentes a la forma de asociación de los apicultores y a la profesionalización de la actividad). Todas estas trasformaciones se dan en el marco de una red de innovación estructurada en torno a los apicultores y las organizaciones que los nuclean y con una importante presencia del sector público gubernamental y de ciencia y tecnología. En esta predominan los mecanismos de coordinación cooperativos fundados en las relaciones de confianza basadas en la identificación territorial.

Published: December 2022

Objective: It has been theorized that changes in the lower extremity mechanics may lead to develop Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) in the young population. The present study aims to investigate the effects of lower extremity mechanics on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in private university students.

Material-Method: Kujala Patellofemoral Score (KPS) of 400 Yeditepe University students ages of 18-30 years was performed. Students having a less or equal point of 85 in KPS (n=30) and healthy groups randomly selected in students with KPS=100 (n=30) were measured in terms of Feiss Line, navicular drop, subtalar angle, tibial torsion, knee valgus angle, Q angle in standing and supine position and hamstring tightness.

Results: The prevalence of PFP among students was found to be 10.5% (n = 42). In the PFP group, 16 (%53.3) students and in the control group, 3 (%10) students had 2nd Pes Planus (PP). A statistically significant difference was found between groups in navicular drop, subtalar angle, tibial rotation, Q angle in supine and hamstring tightness (p-value
Dating the Late Archaic at the Davidson Site (AhHk-54), Ontario
Authors: Ellis Christopher , Conolly James , Monckton Stephen G.
Published: December 2022

A large series of 56 AMS dates are reported from the Davidson site, occupied during both the Broadpoint and Smallpoint Late Archaic. The focus is on documenting the occupation history of the site itself. The dates on various features often do not match superposition data or associations with diagnostics and provide a case study of the great potential for component mixing on such sites, which can go unrecognized without multiple dates from different materials. Despite that evidence, overall the kernel density function models show that the dates fall into two more-or-less distinctive groupings centered at circa 2250 cal BC and at circa 1150 cal BC, matching previous age estimates of the two main components and also suggesting an intriguing circa 300-year gap between those two intensive occupations. The analyses suggest charcoal dates overestimate age when compared to dates from nutshell by about 120 years and that the consistency of dates from particular feature clusters often indicates they represent an “integrated series of events.”
Being and Nothingness versus Bergson’s Striving Being
Authors: Kebede Messay
Published: December 2022

Bergson imputes the generation of false problems in philosophy to the idea of nothingness and negative concepts. Yet, all his books are fraught with oppositional thinking, such as the oppositions between space and time, quantity and quality, life and matter. Understandably, this apparent discrepancy has led a philosopher like Merleau-Ponty to speak of inconsistency, while Jankélévitch and others counter the charge of inconsistency by arguing that Bergsonism embraces operational opposition as opposed to substantial opposition. This article disagrees with both interpretations and proposes a solution based on the need to distinguish between the level of intuitive vision of the unity of nature and the level of representative analysis whose defining feature is that it operates by means of opposing concepts. The progression from representation to intuition transcends opposition and unites life and matter in the vision of a self-surpassing effort or élan.
Can Whitehead’s Philosophy Provide an Adequate Theoretical Foundation for Today’s Neuroscience?
Authors: Roy David E.

This article compares research in neuroscience regarding the right and left hemispheres of the brain, particularly in the work of Iain McGilchrist and Robert Ornstein, with Whitehead’s perception in the mode of causal efficacy and in the mode of presentational immediacy, respectively.
The Continuation of Material Being in Seibt’s Process Theory
Authors: Oakes M. Gregory
Published: December 2022

I call “material continuation” the fact of one material thing or event being followed by another in time. In this article, I address the question why material continuation obtains, as it seems to do. Johanna Seibt’s theory of dynamism promises to explain material continuation by reference to Aristotle’s concept of energeia. I argue that her account fails to explain how one thing at one time might be followed by another at another.
Cancer, Theodicy, and Theology: A Personal Reflection
Authors: Macallan Brian Claude
Published: December 2022

Theodicy wrestles with suffering and pain, while seeking to understand God’s engagement with these realities. Cancer raises similar questions, while focusing on specific aspects of those questions. Cancer appears to challenge many aspects of Christian doctrine, in particular issues regarding the origin of sin, Christology, and ultimately one’s doctrine of God. This article explores how my own personal diagnosis of colon cancer has led to an exploration and re-evaluation of these traditional doctrines and their relevance for my own faith journey. The realities of cancer, and random cell mutation as an evolutionary driver, appear to call into question traditional understandings of the origin of suffering and sin, and, I would argue, the very role of Jesus. A process theology that redefines core features of the nature of God is proposed as one way of addressing these doctrines and their impact for faith. These features will note the limited nature of God with regard to power and knowledge as well as the nature of a God who truly risks.
Eros, Creativity, and Cosmological Individuation: A Vision of Spiritual Process Emerging through the Thought of Jung and Whitehead
Authors: Santilli Nicolo
Published: December 2022

The current ecological and global crises call us to reexamine our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and the world in which we live together as well as the values that shape and determine our mutual participation within this shared world process. This article engages the dynamic relationship between the thought and writings of C. G. Jung and A. N. Whitehead, two insightful contemplative visionaries, exploring the philosophical and spiritual vision that arises from this interaction, with special attention to the emergence of principles and values that might serve as guides for reflection, evolution, and mutual understanding.
Actual Entity and Actual Occasion: Are These Terms Interchangeable or Quite Different?
Authors: S.J. Joseph Bracken,
Published: December 2022

In this article I argue against the claim that “actual entity” and “actual occasion” are synonymous in Whitehead. My examination of these terms will help to illuminate the role of “society” in Whitehead’s philosophy and to prepare the way for a fruitful comparison of process thought and contemporary systems theory in the sciences.
Interstitial Life and the Banality of Novelty in Whitehead’s Process and Reality
Authors: Rambo David
Published: December 2022

Whitehead’s metaphysical conception of life in Process and Reality is elucidated. The article is about neither biology nor psychology, but about how Whitehead’s view of interstitial life might account for these scientific disciplines’ range of phenomena. Whitehead’s view of the universe as always novel but rarely original will be clarified, as will the role of eternal objects.
