Der Kinderbonus und die Kompensations-zahlungen des Bundes
Authors: Broer Michael , Stöwhase Sven
Published: February 2022

Der in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 an Eltern kindergeldberechtigter Kinder ausgezahlte Bonus von 300 respektive 150 Euro führt sowohl auf der Ausgabeseite als auch auf der Einnahmeseite zu unterschiedlichen Wirkungen auf Ebene der einzelnen Bundesländer und der Kommunen. In diesem Beitrag quantifizieren Michael Broer und Sven Stöwhase diese Unterschiede und die damit einhergehenden Über- und Unterkompensationen durch den Bund. Während auf der einen Seite Überkompensationen einzelner finanzstarker Länder von bis zu knapp 6 Euro je Einwohner beobachtet werden können, finden sich ebenfalls Bundesländer mit einer Unterkompensation. Diese beträgt in der Spitze bis zu knapp 3 Euro je Einwohner. Es wird gezeigt, dass alternative Kompensationsmethoden die Unterschiede zwischen den Bundesländern deutlich verringert könnten.

Published: February 2022

The structural and mechanical properties of an insensitive high-explosive 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) polymorphs were studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations. The predicted lattice parameters of FOX-7 polymorphs agree well with the available single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. From our elastic modulus calculations, we found that the ε phase has the highest shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E, longitudinal speed C
L, and shear speed C
S, respectively. Moreover, both α and α′ phase are brittle, ε phase is ductile nature. The results of Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots indicate that the α and α′ phase possess similar molecular packing modes. Meanwhile, the ε phase is found to have the strongest π…π interactions because of the nearly planer molecules formed a planar layer in the crystal. The pressure effects on the α and α′ phase presented an obvious anisotropy, a pressure-induced phase transition from phase α′ (P21/n) to ε phase (P1) was studied. And we also analyze the influence of pressure on the electronic structure.
Santé et sécurité du travail : bref recul et arrêt sur image
Authors: Lortie Monique
Published: February 2022

La réorganisation de la santé et sécurité du travail (SST) au cours des années 1980 a suscité un fort enthousiasme, qui s’est passablement effrité depuis. La SST apparait aussi dépassée par les transformations et peu présente dans l’espace public. Notre réflexion est organisée en trois temps. Une première section rappelle la séquence des modernisations entreprises au tournant des années 1960 : d’abord de l’État, puis en santé, et enfin en SST. Le Québec a alors rejoint le « monde », et les transformations qui depuis s’enclenchent sont semblables à ce qui est rapporté ailleurs. La deuxième section présente, les grandes clés des transformations organisationnelles, technologiques et idéologiques, en particulier les plateformes web, un marqueur fort, ainsi que la place prise par la dimension émotionnelle dans la vision et la gestion de la SST. Enfin, la troisième section revient au Québec et décrit plus spécifiquement le délitement des enjeux liés au travail et à la SST dans l’espace public, dans les institutions, dans les universités et de la SST elle-même en tant que champ de savoir. Pour terminer sur une note positive, des suggestions explorent des voies de traverse.
Analyse des accidents de travail mortels survenus au Québec comprenant un véhicule roulant de 2013 à 2017 : perspectives et avenues d’intervention
Authors: Poupart Anthony , Delavary Milad , Faye Cheikh , Castellucci Hector Ignacio , Tremblay Mathieu , Lavallière Martin
Published: February 2022

Au Québec, les accidents de travail mortels donnent lieu à une enquête de la Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) dans le but de comprendre l’accident et d’émettre des directives pour empêcher la survenue d’éventuels accidents de même type. Ces rapports constituent une importante source d’information légale pour que l’employeur puisse reprendre ses activités. Cependant, puisque ces rapports visent principalement l’identification d’un problème, leur apport en prévention et en innovation pourrait être limitant afin d’améliorer la santé et la sécurité des travailleurs utilisant un véhicule roulant. Notre recherche a pour objectif d’analyser les différents rapports d’accident mortel comprenant un véhicule roulant de 2013 à 2017 selon la méthode STAMP et l’outil d’analyse CAST, puis de documenter, à l’aide de la matrice de Haddon, l’interaction entre les différents facteurs (humain, véhicule, environnement) qui génèrent de tels accidents. Nous dresserons un bilan plus approfondi des connaissances portant sur le contexte réel du travailleur et des phénomènes de sécurité qui l’entourent avant un accident, puis en ressortirons des recommandations et des pistes de prévention afin de réduire les mortalités reliées aux véhicules roulants.

Oral Ulcerations
Authors: K Hamam Magdy , NAlbagiah Hamad , dosari AM AL
Published: February 2022

The Oral cavity is a mirror of systemic conditions. Many diseases have a similar clinical appearance, so a dentist attempting to diagnose an ulcerative or vesiculobullous disease of the mouth needs a good experience. The oral mucosa is thin, causing vesicles and bullae to break rapidly into ulcers, and ulcers are easily traumatized from teeth and food, and they become secondarily infected by the oral flora. These factors may cause lesions that have a characteristic appearance on the skin to have a nonspecific appearance on the oral mucosa. Oral manifestations may precede or follow the appearance of findings at other locations. A complete system review should be obtained a brief history and rapid clinical examination and full investigations for each patient, including questions regarding the presence of skin, eye, genital, and rectal lesions. As well as symptoms such as joint pains, muscle weakness, dyspnea, diplopia, and chest pains [1,2].

Using Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Evoo) as a Therapy in Angular Cheilitis: Current Scientific Evidence is Rediscovering Our Grandparents’ Ancient Tradition
Authors: Sinesi Antonia , Di Leo Giovanni , Cefola Savino , Damato Ruggiero , Casu Cinzia
Published: February 2022

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is an essential food in the Mediterranean diet. Since the last century, it was customary for people in southern Italy to use it to treat various diseases: burns, trauma, cheilitis and inflammatory processes of various kinds. Over time, this practice, the result of ancient knowledge handed down from generation by generation, gradually disappeared and was almost forgotten. In Southern Italy, precisely all through the countryside of the north of Bari in Apulia, is produced a particular type of EVOO from “Coratina” cultivar characterized by the presence of a high content of polyphenols and other biocoumponds, the highest compared to other cultivars. Although numerous studies on EVOO have shown its remarkable effectiveness in wound healing, no scientific studies have been proposed for the treatment of Angular Cheilitis(AC). In this case report, we propose the use of EVOO as a therapeutic aid in the treatment of AC not responsive to ointments of various kinds: cortisone, antibacterials or antifungals.
APT1-Mediated Depalmitoylation Regulates Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity

Palmitoylation may be relevant to the processes of learning and memory, and even disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and aging-related cognitive decline. However, underlying mechanisms of palmitoylation in these processes remain unclear. Herein, we used acyl-biotin exchange, coimmunoprecipitation and biotinylation assays, and behavioral and electrophysiological methods, to explore whether palmitoylation is required for hippocampal synaptic transmission and fear memory formation, and involved in functional modification of synaptic proteins, such as postsynapse density-95 (PSD-95) and glutamate receptors, and detected if depalmitoylation by specific enzymes has influence on glutamatergic synaptic plasticity. Our results showed that global palmitoylation level, palmitoylation of PSD-95 and glutamate receptors, postsynapse density localization of PSD-95, surface expression of AMPARs, and synaptic strength of cultured hippocampal neurons were all enhanced by TTX pretreatment, and these can be reversed by inhibition of palmitoylation with palmitoyl acyl transferases inhibitors, 2-bromopalmitate and N-(tert-butyl) hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Importantly, we also found that acyl-protein thioesterase 1 (APT1)-mediated depalmitoylation is involved in palmitoylation of PSD-95 and glutamatergic synaptic transmission. Knockdown of APT1, not protein palmitoyl thioesterase 1, with shRNA, or selective inhibition, significantly increased AMPAR-mediated synaptic strength, palmitoylation levels, and synaptic or surface expression of PSD-95 and AMPARs. Results from hippocampal tissues and fear-conditioned rats showed that palmitoylation is required for synaptic strengthening and fear memory formation. These results suggest that palmitoylation and APT1-mediated depalmitoylation have critical effects on the regulation of glutamatergic synaptic plasticity, and it may serve as a potential target for learning and memory-associated disorders.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTFear-related anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder, are prevalent psychiatric conditions, and fear memory is associated with hyperexcitability in the hippocampal CA1 region. Palmitoylation is involved in learning and memory, but mechanisms coupling palmitoylation with fear memory acquisition remain poorly understood. This study demonstrated that palmitoylation is essential for postsynapse density-95 clustering and hippocampal glutamatergic synaptic transmission, and APT1-mediated depalmitoylation plays critical roles in the regulation of synaptic plasticity. Our study revealed that molecular mechanism about downregulation of APT1 leads to enhancement of AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission, and that palmitoylation cycling is implicated in fear conditioning-induced synaptic strengthening and fear memory formation.

Bu çalışmanın amacı tavuk etlerinden (n:50; bütün kanat, göğüs, baget; toplamda N: 150) Listeria monocytogenes’in tespitinde kolorimetrik loop-mediated izotermal amplifikasyon’un (LAMP) performansını değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla, tavuk etleri 100-104 CFU/25 g (veya bütün tavuk eti) seviyede L. monocytogenes ve rekabetçi mikrobiyota olarak kullanılan 5 diğer bakteri (Salmonella Typhimurium, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Citrobacter freundii) ile inoküle edildi. Ön zenginleştirme sonrası örnekler geleneksel kültürel, gerçek zamanlı PZR ve LAMP kullanılarak analiz edildi. Virulans hlyA gen’in primer setleri (L. monocytogenes-özgü) hidroksinaftol mavisi (HNB) ile görselleştirilmiş LAMP için kullanıldı. Bu hedef gen 65°C 45 dakikada spesifik primerler kullanılarak çoğaltıldı. Üç metot ile gerçekleştirilen analizlerin sonucunda doğal olarak kontamine olmuş 150 örneğin 9’unda (%6) L. monocytogenes varlığı tespit edildi. LAMP, qPCR ve klasik metot doğal ve yapay olarak kontamine olmuş örneklerden L. monocytgones için aynı tespit performansını gösterdi. Bu sonuçlar HNB-LAMP yönteminin, PCR'a alternatif olarak, izotermal koşullar altında L. monocytogenes'e duyarlı, spesifik, basit, hızlı bir tespit tekniği olarak kullanılabileceğini ve L. monocytogenes'in tavuk etlerinden saptanma potansiyeline sahip olduğunu gösterdi.

Singapore remained in crisis mode in 2021, a situation that persisted from 2020. While COVID-19 continued to devastate various foundations of Singapore, especially the economy and public confidence in the government, a political succession crisis threw the republic deeper into uncharted territory. These developments are likely to have long-term consequences, especially for the staying power of government in what is a one-dominant-party state.

Health status of the women of the coastal region of South 24 Parganas: A narration based on field survey
Authors: Bardhan Roy Maitreyee
Published: February 2022

The author of the article as a researcher reports on the health status of the women students of Diamond Harbour Women University based on food chart, weight and height measurement, blood hemoglobin test with an option on Thalassemia and Blood Sugar test done to record the genetically impounded symptoms present in them. Though the respondents hail from the reserved category and /or economically weaker families, their eagerness towards higher education encouraged the researcher to observe the level of health and nutritional awareness in them while the urge for education override all. The field survey done under the ICSSR Senior Fellowship Scheme is entailed through the analysis of Government documents including 2011 census report National Family Health Survey Report 4 (NFHS 4) and the District Human Development Report 2009. Also papers and articles have been evaluated as a guide to the present research. The data collection on the educated women communities are done in the Diamond Harbour Women University and the evaluation of the data is done by a team of medical practitioner, Nutritionist and Psycho Analyst while information on personal and impersonal survey is collected through questionnaire and direct interaction followed by random survey. The arrangement for field survey demanded occasional and need based involvement of medical practitioner to investigate significant cases of special nature. The overall aim of the research is to set up a cue to the family socio-economic condition and its correlation with women nutritional position. The data collection method was innovative because it was conducted following students to student interaction in the class room situation.

Published: February 2022

Наявність латеральної взаємодії між адсорбованими на поверхні Ag(111) атомами хлору приводить до формування структури (√3 × √3)R30º при ступені покриття 0,33. Ця структура спостерігається експериментально методом дифракції повільних електронів та СТМ за умови достатньо низької температури підкладки. При збільшенні температури відбувається розупорядкування структури, внаслідок чого при кімнатній температурі дифракційна картинка вже не містить характерних рефлексів. Моделювання методом Монте-Карло з використанням параметрів енергії латеральної взаємодії, розрахованих за допомогою методу теорії функціоналу електронної густини, дозволило з'ясувати важливі особливості формування поверхневих структур та переходу порядок–непорядок, що відбувається з ростом температури. Показано, зокрема, що перехід є дуже різким, що пояснюється достатньою кількістю вільних адсорбційних центрів для цієї структури при суттєвійвідштовхувальній взаємодії між адатомами.
Caustic Crossing Events and Source Models in Gravitational Lens Systems
Authors: Alexandrov A.N. , Sliusar V.M. , Zhdanov V.I.
Published: February 2022

High amplification events (HAEs) are common phenomena in extragalactic gravitational lens systems (GLSs), where the multiple images of a distant quasar are observed through a foreground galaxy. There is a considerable brightness magnification in one of the quasar images during HAE. Grieger, Kayser, and Refsdal (1988) proposed to use HAEs to study the central regions of quasars inGLSs. In this paper, we consider some problems concerning the identification of different source types on the basis of the HAE observations. We compare the results of light curve simulations to estimate a feasibility to distinguish different source models in GLSs. Analytic approximation methods yielding solutions of the lens equation in a vicinity of fold caustic crossing events are presented. The results are used to obtain amplification factors, which the higher-order corrections for the Gaussian, power-law, andlimb-darkening models of a source take into account.

Many studies confirm the importance of the role of women in theeffectiveness of government programs, especially the programs aimedat improving family welfare. This study aims to examine the effect ofthe government program of direct cash transfers (BLT) on the humancapital of children in households headed by women in Indonesia.Data for the study was obtained from IFLS (wave 5) and analyzedwith multiple linear regression. The analysis results show that thereis a negative effect of BLT on the education of children. Previousstudies state this is due to the changing behavior of the recipienthouseholds or the spillover effects on the non-recipient households.This research proposes a different reason, such as social discriminationagainst households headed by women. The solid patriarchal culturein Indonesia often ignores female-headed households, so the numberof households receiving social protection programs is relatively verylimited.How to Cite:Setyari, N. P.

The ‘stage Indian’ in early American theatre culture
Authors: Kačer Tomáš
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the early development of the ‘stage Indian’ as a character in early American drama and theatre. It studies ‘stage Indian’ characters, which reflect historical theatrical conventions rather than being historically accurate representations. It explores early plays depicting Native Americans as the ‘exotic other’. It considers plays involving the myth of the noble savage on the one hand and some parodying of this myth on the other. Finally, it describes various performances involving Native American performers in the United States in the 1890s. These examples show the diversity of the ‘stage Indian’ as a literary and performative construct.
The Fantastic and the Feminine Sublime of Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Authors: Albert Orsolya
Published: February 2022

The study presents a close analysis of the immersive yet disorienting textual space of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in order to explore its sublime aesthetics. As a piece of portal fantasy, the work enables readers to enter into the transcendent sphere of uncontrolled imagination via the adventures of the prophetic Dream Child, eliciting what David Sandner has defined as both a reformulation and an extension of the Romantic sublime: the fantastic sublime. A more favourable attitude towards the elusiveness of meaning in the text lies in Barbara Claire Freeman’s feminine sublime, which prefers the excessive and unrepresentable to exclusion and control.
Understanding the societal and business perspectives of online trust literacy in the context of digitalization
Authors: Cserdi Zsófia , Fehér Péter , Gáti Mirkó , Rab Árpád , Varga Krisztián
Published: February 2022

The spread of digital culture is one of the biggest reprogramming of humanity, radically transforming our economic, social, and cultural models. One of the keys to success of this transformation, and to preventing the spread of digital divides, is the development of a variety of literacies. These literacies describe the success of society and business to thrive in the digital space. In this article, we introduce a new concept of action literacy (online trust literacy) and examine its functioning from both a social and a business perspective through two primary research studies. After defining the phenomenon, we examine it from two sides: the first part examines the dimensional structure of trust from the perspective of society (through a large, representative sample-based survey), while the second part analyses the building and operational mechanisms of trust from a business perspective (through a small sample of exploratory data collection). The main implications of this study are to demonstrate the Janus-faced nature of this new kind of literacy and the ambiguity of digital culture to better understand the toolset of information recipients and providers. The result of our research is the introduction of a new concept of action literacy and its operationalisation, resulting in an interpretation matrix.
Advanced materials supply considerations for electric vehicle applications
Authors: Lipman Timothy E. , Maier Petra
Published: February 2022

Electric vehicles are now proliferating based on technologies and components that in turn rely on the use of strategic materials and mineral resources. This review article discusses critical materials considerations for electric drive vehicles, focusing on the underlying component technologies and materials. These mainly include materials for advanced batteries, motors and electronics, lightweight structures, and other components specific to each vehicle type. Particularly strategic and widely used minerals and elements/structures for electric vehicles include nickel, cobalt, rare-earth minerals, lightweight and high strength steel alloys and underlying metals (e.g., magnesium and aluminum), carbon fiber, graphite and graphene, copper, and steel alloying materials. Additional key considerations include those around component and vehicle supply chains, repurposing and recycling vehicle components at end of vehicle life, and environmental and humanitarian considerations around the extraction and transport of the evolving set of materials needed for modern electric vehicle production.

The Doctrine of Li Hongzhi: Falun Gong - Between Sectarianism and Universal Salvation
Authors: Palmer David A.
Published: February 2022

This article proposes a brief analysis of the doctrine of Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong. Four main themes dominate the master’s writings: (1) an apocalyptic theme, stressing the moral decadence of humanity and the omnipresence of the forces of evil. Extra-terrestrials are infiltrating themselves in the body of humanity through modern science, the great enemy of virtue; the Buddhist prophecy of the imminent destruction of the world and inauguration of a new universal cycle, is close to being fulfilled. (2) An exhortation to rigorous spiritual discipline, calling on followers to purify their hearts of all attachment to the things of this world. The gods have abandoned the orthodox religions of the past, which have already completely lost the spirit of the true Dharma. (3) A messianic theme: Li Hongzhi is the omniscient and omnipotent savior of the entire universe. He has revealed, for the first time in history, the fundamental Law of the universe, which is the only protection against the apocalypse. (4) A sectarian practice: Li Hongzhi’s adepts must concentrate exclusively on Falun Gong; it is forbidden to read or even think about any other religion, philosophy, or school of thought or of Qigong. They must devote themselves heart and soul to Falun Gong’s psycho-physiological discipline; the perceptions and visions triggered by this practice are attributed to Li Hongzhi’s supernatural power.
“You Don’t Want to Have That Kind of Thought in Your Mind”: Li Hongzhi, Aliens, and Science
Authors: Bigliardi Stefano
Published: February 2022

Li Hongzhi has drunk deeply from the well of the paranormal, being especially attracted to ideas about extraterrestrial aliens. Like other flying saucer aficionados, Li teaches that modern technology was introduced to planet earth by extraterrestrials, including in the distant past (“ancient aliens”). He has also adopted beliefs (widespread in alternative circles) that (1) aliens have abducted and interbreed with human beings in ongoing efforts to create a hybrid race, and (2) terrestrial governments not only know about these activities, but actively conspire with aliens for their own sinister purposes. In addition to their hybridizing experiments, shape-shifting space aliens capture human beings for use as pets back on their home planet, and are planning to take over our planet via their false, immoral religion of “science.” In a 1999 interview with Time magazine, Master Li accused aliens of corrupting the human race, an activity that will eventually lead to an apocalypse. Some of Li’s most controversial statements have been made in the context of his descriptions of alien-induced human corruptions: People would stop at nothing in doing evil things such as drug abuse and drug dealing. A lot of people have done many bad deeds. Things such as organized crime, homosexuality, and promiscuous sex, etc. None are the standards of being human. Many Westerners who at one time regarded themselves as Falun Gong’s friends subsequently distanced themselves from the group after critics began to call attention to Master Li’s pronouncements against homosexuality, feminism, rock music and “race mixing.” The present chapter will analyze these teachings, tracing their sources to both Western paranormal literature and Chinese tradition.
From Comparative to Connected Religion: Translocal Aspects of Orientalism and the Study of Religion
Authors: Bornet Philippe
Published: February 2022

Introducing the notion of “connected history” and situating it among other related approaches (“global history”, “comparative history”, “entangled history”, “cultural transfers”, etc.), the chapter examines the potentialities as well as the challenges it presents for the comparative study of religions. Building on recent considerations about a critical “comparative religion”, it is argued that a “connected religion” approach has the potential to both criticize classical taxonomies and construct alternative ways to think about concepts and practices about religion. In order to assess the approach, two examples are introduced and contrasted: Looking at F.M. Müller’s involvement with Bengali (Dwarkanath Tagore, Debendranath Tagore, Keshub Chandra Sen), Marathi (Behramji Malabari) and Japanese scholars (Nanjo Bunyu and Kenjiu Kasawara), it is argued that the orientalist project is not only better understood when re-contextualized in this global context, but that it also had consequences beyond the scholarly world, offering opportunities to all involved actors. The second example explores the encounter of a Swiss missionary, Jakob Urner, with specialists of the Vīraśaiva literatures such as Channappa Uttangi. In so doing, attention is paid to the often discordant and oppositional dynamics constitutive of political and religious processes, to the development of scholarly representations (mainstream or marginal), and to their impact on the study of religions as an academic discipline. It is also suggested that such an approach is better carried out in a collaborative framework, since it generally involves dealing with sources that stem from various cultural, institutional or linguistic backgrounds.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several Catholics from South Kanara in British India, whether as British subjects or Indo-Portuguese Catholics, journeyed across the wider British, Portuguese and Catholic worlds. Wherever they travelled or settled, they often strategically deployed their Catholicism (more precisely, Roman Catholicism), distinctive Anglo-Luso-Brahmin culture and ambiguities about their racial heritage to overcome structural barriers to the mobility and assimilation of South Asians. Catholicism, with its numerous institutions, lay and clerical transnational networks, and doctrinal emphasis on universalism emerged as a particularly valuable tool that some could deploy for the purpose of assimilation. Catholicism would not only facilitate intermarriages with Catholics of other ethnicities, but also enable racial “passing” and other forms of strategic ethnic reidentification. By focusing on the d’Abreu family from Mangalore, members of which journeyed to the British Isles since 1890, this study shall uncover the forgotten history of an Indo-Portuguese Catholic family that embedded itself within the heart of British society. It shall explore how, by strategically emphasizing the Catholic and Portuguese markers of their multifaceted identities and connecting to Catholic institutions and networks, the pioneering d’Abreu immigrant could embed himself within local Catholic society in Birmingham as a successful, presumably Portuguese, medical doctor, while his sons could acquire an education at Stonyhurst, become prominent surgeons, and marry into the British gentry and aristocracy. It shall explore both the transnational practices and networks of Catholicism and investigate the extent to which Catholicism could facilitate migration and aid assimilation.
Religion and the "Simple Life": Dugald Semple and Translocal "Life Reform" Networks
Authors: Sutcliffe Steven J.
Published: February 2022

This chapter presents a case study of a Scottish exponent of the “simple life”, Dugald Semple (1884−1964), within early 20th-century networks of life reform or Lebensreform. It argues that the underlying thread in Semple’s “life reform” is a non-conformist, anti-clerical religious individualism which incorporated Transcendentalism with a Tolstoyan and Gandhian pacifism. A case study of Semple’s career in dialogue with his English and continental interlocutors demonstrates the value of empirically based transnational enquiry at the level of individuals and networks for understanding the varied inflections of “life reform”, particularly the religious roots of the phenomenon. It also contributes to the historiography of important currents in “alternative religion” which fed the post-world-war-two “new age”, “eco” and commune movements.
A "Christian Hindu Apostle"?: The Multiple Lives of Sadhu Sundar Singh (1889-1929?)
Authors: Bornet Philippe
Published: February 2022

The chapter deals with Sadhu Sundar Singh and the way his life and experiences have been shaped by multiple influences, co-constructed by himself and his admirers, and made possible by a concept of sādhu that functioned as a key to unlock an “interstitial space” that was not controlled by any authority. In order to delineate the contours of that space it is necessary to go back to Sundar Singh’s early years in India, to re-contextualize his biographical trajectory in the framework of early 20th century revivalist (politico-)religious movements and to consider him in relation with initiatives to delink Christianity from its colonial background. Focusing then on his tour in Switzerland, 1922 – a tour out of which came an impressive number of publications that had a lasting effect – it is argued that the tour’s organizers were both projecting intentions on Sundar Singh, and overwhelmed with the actual performance and its effects. Furthermore, members of several religious movements were equally attending the meetings, producing various kinds of encounters: some leading to creative reconfigurations and some to open conflict. In sum, Sundar Singh is an excellent case study for a “connected religion” framework: since he made himself available for interpretations reflecting the different intentions of his interlocutors, the sources telling us about his biography are often written from very divergent standpoints – making a “connected religion” approach that brings the pieces of the puzzle together particularly appropriate.
Travelling Through Interstitial Spaces: The Radical Spiritual Journeys of Pandita Mary Ramabai Saraswathi
Authors: Shetty Parinitha
Published: February 2022

An extraordinary woman of her times, Pandita Ramabai, lived in the latter half of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century. The exceptional circumstances of her life did not allow her to be rooted within any socio/religious space that existed in her world and denied her the certainties that come with such a sense of belonging. Her early life was nomadic as it was spent travelling across India and later to England and across America. This, in conjunction with the difficult circumstances of her life, forced her to inhabit radically disjunctive socio-cultural, experiential spaces, simultaneously. To be incessantly travelling is to be pushed into continually re-imagining and re-making the templates which naturalize and normalize the practices of embodied existence. It is to dwell in the interstices of the familiar and the yet-to-be-made familiar. It was from these liminal locations that Ramabai contoured a spiritual interiority centered on her personal emotional and spiritual needs, that would simultaneously shape and legitimize the radical material and institutional transformations she sought to bring about in her society. After the death of her husband she travelled to England where she converted to Christianity. Later she travelled across America. Existing at the cusp of histories, cultures and religions, not at ease within the institutionalized religions that she traversed, there emerged in her a radically alienated, critical seeing that shaped her attempts at creating an egalitarian and humane world for those she considered the most oppressed in her society. When she returned to India she established institutions and homes which broke denominational and caste mappings in an attempt to provide a livable community for those at the extreme margins of her society.

The Relation of the Saccasaṅkhepaṭīkā Called Sāratthasālinī to the Vinayavinicchayaṭīkā Called Vinayasāratthasandīpanī
Authors: Kieffer-Pulz Petra
Published: February 2022

The present contribution suggests the common authorship of three Pāli commentaries of the twelfth/thirteenth centuries CE, namely the Vinayavinicchayaṭīkā called Vinayasāratthasandīpanī (less probably Vinayatthasārasandīpanī), the Uttaravinicchayaṭīkā called Līnatthappakāsanī, and the Saccasaṅkhepaṭīkā called Sāratthasālinī. The information collected from these three commentaries themselves and from Pāli literary histories concerning these three texts leads to the second quarter of the thirteenth century CE as the period of their origination. The data from parallel texts explicitly stated to having been written by Vācissara Thera in the texts themselves render it possible to establish with a high degree of probability Vācissara Thera as their author.
"Clarifying the Truth": Falun Gong's Media Strategies
Authors: Lewis James R.
Published: February 2022

The Falun Gong organization has been mostly successful at promoting itself to the world outside of mainland China as a peaceful spiritual exercise group being unfairly persecuted by the Chinese government. This is partly the result of denying or downplaying the aspects of Li Hongzhi’s teachings that are vengeful, belligerent and violent. However, as James R. Lewis argues in “’Clarifying the Truth’: Falun Gong’s Media Strategies,” this is also the result of a conscious media strategy which involves, on the one hand, creating its own media outlets that focus on persecution and human rights themes, and, on the other hand, deploying a sophisticated media strategy that takes advantage of anti-PRC sentiments in Western media.
A Hermenêutica Rabínica do Mashal e sua influência no primeiro século EC
Authors: Carneiro Marcelo Da Silva , Fridman Lucas Lima Martins
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo abordar a temática do mashal rabínico na literatura hebraica e sua influência no primeiro século EC. O discurso parabólico presente no judaísmo do segundo templo, acalorado no primeiro século por Shammai e Hillel, ganhou fama universal, após a transmissão massiva do Segundo Testamento, com inúmeras parábolas. No entanto, o estilo literário parabólico, não é uma novidade na escrita hebraica, sendo encontrada em diversos textos do Tanakh (Antigo Testamento). Fato é, que o uso das parábolas, se tornou algo consagrado no meio rabínico, como uma forma de exemplificar e ludificar ideias complexas, democratizando o conhecimento e gerando no ouvinte uma reflexão prática do conceito apresentado. Assim, pretende-se verificar tal influência no primeiro século EC.

Motivation of students in online education
Authors: Snezhko Galina
Published: February 2022

Within the framework of this work, an attempt is made to scientifically comprehend the principles of student motivation, in particular its features in the framework of online education. The authors consider the educational process as a communication between a teacher and a student and argue that online education radically changes the process of communication between the subjects of the educational process and translates it into a mediated and asynchronous format. To identify factors that determine the degree of motivation of students studying in the online format, the scientific work of foreign researchers with experience in the use of online technologies and the skills of scientific understanding of how the online format affects the assimilation of new knowledge by students was considered. The paradigm basis of the study is the cognitive approach, and the consideration of the process of mastering knowledge is based on the theory of MOA (motivation, opportunity, ability) and the probability model of conscious information processing. It has been established that the main advantage of online education is the reliance on independent work of students, and the use of
project-based learning is the best way to overcome the obstacles facing online education and unleash its full potential. The external and internal factors influencing motivation are identified, the main problems of the Russian education system, which is attempting to enter the online format, are identified, and recommendations are given for optimizing this process aimed at increasing the motivation of Russian students.
