Published: January 2025

Działalność rolnicza jest niezwykle wymagającą branżą z uwagi na możliwość pojawienia się sytuacji kryzysowych bądź ryzyka oddziałującego na wielkość produkcji rolniczej, a w konsekwencji również zyski rolnika. Ryzyko zazwyczaj dotyczy ewentualnych strat, które generują dodatkowe koszty, a tym samym pogarszają płynność finansową „przedsiębiorstwa rolniczego” w czasie występowania wcześniej podjętych decyzji. Natomiastkryzys to nagłe zdarzenie typu: katastrofa naturalna, klęska żywiołowa, które zagraża istnieniu podmiotu szkodami jakie może wywołać w produkcyjnym potencjale i zachwianiem długoterminowej płynności.Celem badań jest ocena działań podejmowanych przez jednostkę do spraw zarządzania kryzysowego w rolnictwie na ternie gminy Goworowo w opinii jej mieszkańców. Do jego realizacji wykorzystana został metoda sondażu diagnostycznego i technika ankiety. Kwestionariusz rozdano wśród 48 mieszkańców gminy Goworowo. Najważniejszymi zagrożeniami z jakimi muszą zmierzyć się respondenci, jeśli chodzi o straty w produkcji rolniczej to susza, przymrozki wiosenne oraz wysokie ceny paliwa. To właśnie z nimi najczęściej zmagali się rolnicy w ciągu ostatnich dwóch lat.

Spirituality and the Critique of Epistemic Rhetoric: A Coherentist Analysis
Authors: McPhail Mark Lawrence ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Recent debates concerning distinctions between intersubjectivist and spiritual views of rhetoric have highlighted the need for a more holistic conceptualization of language, life and method. This essay provides a vision of synthesis to this debate by explicating the epistemological common grounds of its participants, examining alternative conceptualizations of the relationship between the rhetorical and the spiritual, and exploring how coherence might function as a mediating principle in the spiritual critique of intersubjectivist rhetoric. My analysis suggests that an extension of the philosophical concept of coherence to rhetorical discourse resolves the problematic distinction between intersubjectivity and spirituality, and provides important directions for contemporary rhetorical theory and practice.

"Sinners" in the Hands of An Angry God, Saints in the Hands of Their Father
Authors: Adams John C. , Yarbrough Stephen R. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Jonathan Edwards sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is unquestionably his most famous and most analyzed work. It is a commonplace that Sinners'* exemplifies what is called fire and brimstone preaching designed to terrify auditors with its vivid depictions of helVs torments. Edwards sermons although superficially and structurally quite like those his fellow ministers were preaching and had been preaching for decades were unique in their rhetorical dynamics. These sermons were meant neither to instruct nor to persuade for their audiences were already instructed arui persuaded. They were meant primarily to remind congregations of what they already knew arui believed to give congregations opportunities to review arui possibly experience anew his repetitive Calvinist theme of election and predestination.
The Gendering of Prayer: An Ethnographic Study of Muslim Women in the United States
Authors: Reece Debra ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Embracing a symbolic interactive approach, this study focuses on the meanings attached to Islamic prayer within the lives of nine Muslim women from various Islamic cultures, examining the relationship between prayer and personal identity. The in-depth interviews reveal several significant distinctions between: public and private prayer, obligatory and voluntary prayer, silent and audible prayer, and mother tongue and secoruiary language usage in prayer. The identity discourse includes accounts of their evaluations of personal religious practices, statements demonstrating a weakening or strengthening of commitment, and discussions of the solidification of multiple identities among all Muslims. Prayer plays a significant role in ordering the daily lives of practicing Muslims, continually reinforcing their personal identities as Muslims, reminding them of the principles that undergird their collective faith, and aligning multiple identities across the Muslim world.
The Religious Rhetoric of Mary Ashton Rice Livermore: Early Arguments for Woman's Biblical Equality
Authors: Gayle Barbara Mae , Lattin Bohn D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

We argue that Mary Ashton Rice Livermore (late 1800s) employed five major strategies that allowed her sermon, "The spiritual argument for woman's suffrage "to appeal to her audience's intellect rather than its passions: (1) affirming shared values by defending the Word of God, (2) creating an authority partnership through Biblical equality, (3) mending the creation story through Christ's redemption, (4) Biblically sanctioning women as active agents of salvation, and (5) visibly enacting the theological perspectives advocated. In an era where most Americans feared woman's suffrage would dismantle society, Livermore used the ultimate authority—the Bible—to embrace her audience's understanding of women's rightful place in religion and her community. Even though she advocated some fairly radical Biblical interpretations, she diffused opposition through carefully constructing arguments which did not undercut the value of scriptural texts. Her "good news" for women endeared her to audiences and more than likely promoted changes in the spiritual participation and leadership among women in a variety of Churches. Overall, we argue that Livermore provides a rare successful model for feminist Biblical scholars.
Just Now: Aimee Semple McPherson's Performance and Preaching of Jesus
Authors: Bartow Charles L. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Aimee Semple McPherson, 1890-1944, popular revivalist, radio preacher, founder ofAngelus Temple in Los Angeles, California and of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, attracted sustained public attention through two World Wars and the Great Depression. The present study seeks to describe her proclamation of Jesus through theatrical performance and through the preaching of more conventional sermons. Attention is given to formative influences from her life experience, situational constraints, content, style, biblical interpretation, arui sources of authority. The suggestion is proffered that, deprived of reliable ecclesial backing, McPherson authorized her typological and allegorical readings of scripture out of her own resources: her imaginative reconstructions of her own lived experience arui her passion for Jesus. Assurance that she was performing and preaching Jesus aright came through the popular success she was able to secure for her revivalistic enterprises.
Augustinian Innovation; A Spokesperson for a Post-Classical Age
Authors: Bullock Jeffrey ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Many commentators portray Augustine's contribution to religious rhetoric as an appropriation of Ciceronian theory. This essay argues that Augustine initiated a unique homiletical practice that was more Sophistic than Aristotelian, a theological rhetoric that manifested itself in sermons that were experientially open rather than propositionally closed. Rather than the transmission of information, Augustine's innovative homiletical practice helped to facilitate an experience of the word where both speaker and audience were co-participants in an event of understanding.
Interpersonal Christian Prayer and Communication
Authors: Baesler E. James ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

Nationwide statistical polling during the past 40 years have indicated that prayer is a frequent and important activity for a majority of Americans. Yet communication scholars have yet to theoretically consider the relationship between prayer and communication. This investigation compared and contrasted a particular type of prayer, Interpersonal Christ|.n Prayer (ICP), with a particular type of communication context, Interpersonal Communication (IC). Results suggested that ICP and IC share common ground in their dyadic nature, intentionality, and in specific communication processes, and that they differ in the nature of the relational being one is communicating with, the locus of initial intent for the communication episode, and the empirical verifiability of particular communication processes. Finally, three concrete suggestions for ICP research were outlined.
Paryer as Proto-Rhetoric
Authors: Lindsay Stan A. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

If "language" were the only means of convincing a god/dess to do something, it would be in the interest of the believers in that deity to refine the theory of how to convince the gods. Following Eduard Norden and John Kirby, this essay asserts that such a theory was developed by the Greeks at the time of Homer. It traces the development of Greek rhetorical theory from such a prayer theory. The essay demonstrates how a rhetorical theory for Jews and Christians may have developed from Jewish and Christian prayer theory and proposes that such a pattem of development is plausible for other cultures.

An Amostic Prophecy: Fredrick Douglass' 'The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro'
Authors: DeSantis Alan D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

This article is used to offer an explanation of how Frederick Douglass, in his 1852 ''The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro," broke the social and generic constraints of the day and still produced one of the greatest speeches of the nineteenth century. I argue that the success of the Fourth of July oration was, in part, due to three factors. First, the speech's structural parallel with the Old Testament book of Amos supplied a powerful persuasive template for the abolitionist cause. Second, Douglass ability to create a messenger persona enabled the Amostic message to be perceived as authentic. Finally, the audiences faith in civil religion cultivated a belief that a prophetic visit was possible and warranted given that their ''sin of slavery'' broke their "sacred covenant" with God. These factors elevated Douglass speech into a higher realm of accountability. Consequently, Douglass was free to break the constraints of racial and rhetorical appropriateness imposed on non-prophetic orators.
Seeing Through a Glass Darkly: Religious Metaphor as Rhetorical Perspective
Authors: Miller Brett A. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: January 2025

This essay examines metaphor theories and the role of metaphor in religious rhetoric. Following a review of major approaches, an argument is made for a theory of metaphor that employs the basic notions of interactionism placed against the epistemological backdrop of rhetorical perspectivism. The central claim of this neo-realist position is that linguistic interactions work to reveal perspectives of real entities. The metaphor of'fesus as scandalon'is explored as an example. Through this symbol, we are able to appreciate a perspective of Jesus and of scandal, not as mere descriptions or constructions, but as metaphorical perspectives of religious truths.
Hunger, Action, Activism
Authors: Eisenstadt Oona ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

This essay supports Annabel Herzog’s argument that a positive politics can be found in Levinas’s Talmudic readings, often signaled by a discussion of hunger. It also raises doubts about the concreteness of this politics, noting that the moments where Levinas points to a better universal are quite gestural. Finally, it suggests that this strain of political thinking might best be understood as part of Levinas’s account of the nature of Judaism.
Thinking Two Days, One Night with Levinas
Authors: Morgan Michael L. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2025

It is controversial how Levinas understands the interrelation between the ethical and the political. In this article, I propose an interpretation of that relationship and then provide a reading of the film Two Days, One Night, written and directed by Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, in order to enrich that proposal. Bringing into focus how a film expresses developments in philosophical thought is a delicate and subtle matter. I hope to show how a careful reading of the film and in particular the interpersonal, moral, and social dynamics that it exhibits can help us to see how, in a concrete setting, a rather abstract philosophical understanding of our engagements with others has social and even political implications.

Gumumae Beach is one of the leading tourist destinations in East Seram Regency. The attraction is beach tourism characterized by brown sand and sloping and dominated by coastal vegetation in the form of coastal cassowaries and mangroves. The problem is the increase in the number of visitors only on certain holidays. The purpose of this research is to formulate a development strategy for Gumumae Beach Tourism. This study uses qualitative methods, data collected through interviews, field observations and documentation. Data analysis used multiple regression and SWOT. The regression results show that the cost of travel and the length of visit are inversely proportional to the frequency of visits. That is, the greater the travel cost and the longer the visit, the frequency of visits will decrease. SWOT analysis resulted in three prioritized tourism development strategies, namely: 1) optimize the potential of natural beauty, beaches and mangroves and improve culinary infrastructure and local culture through cooperation with the private sector; 2) develop environmentally friendly, clean and adaptive coastal tourism to the impacts of climate change; and 3) improve the knowledge and skills of human resources to serve visitors and increase the contribution of tourism to local revenue.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penyebab menurunnya tekanan minyak lumas pada diesel generator Hyundai H32/40 di kapal MV.CMA CGM VERDI. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan diagram fishbone. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi selama pelaksanaan praktek laut.. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyebab utama penurunan tekanan minyak lumas adalah kelalaian operator dalam perawatan mesin, kerusakan komponen pompa dan filter LO yang kotor, tidak optimalnya pelaksanaan sistem perawatan terjadwal (PMS), serta kualitas minyak lumas yang buruk. Akibatnya, sistem pelumasan tidak berfungsi secara optimal, mengakibatkan gesekan antar komponen mesin meningkat, keausan prematur, dan overheating yang dapat berujung pada kerusakan mesin secara menyeluruh. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, diperlukan penerapan PMS yang ketat, termasuk pemeriksaan rutin filter dan pompa minyak lumas, analisis berkala terhadap kualitas minyak lumas, serta pemantauan visual kondisi mesin untuk deteksi dini tanda-tanda masalah. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan pengelolaan sistem pelumasan diesel generator di kapal, yang pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan efisiensi operasional dan mengurangi risiko kerusakan mesin.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents the strategies to improve and enhance the sustainability of food and beverage supply chain. It is a systematic literature review to address the increasing needs of efficiency and greenness in supply chain in food and beverage industry. The main emphasis is placed on the key strategies to enhance the inventory management and operational efficiency of the food and beverage supply chain with the implementation of the Internet of things (IoT) technology, blockchain and big data analytics. Other focus is on the sustainable strategies to reduce the waste, and use the renewable energy sources, waste reduction programs and the principles of circular economy to enhance the sustainability of the supply chain in food and beverage industry. One of the main conclusions of this paper is that integration and optimization in supply chains can significantly improve all performance metrics (efficiency, cost reductions, brand, etc), and can generate a competitive advantage in the highly competitive food and beverage industry. Despite the trend of big businesses having their own supply chains, the study points out the importance of collaboration among all supply chain partners, e.g. suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, if the product maintains its quality and is produced in an efficient way.The paper presents practical implications on how implementing these strategies can indeed result in higher customer satisfaction, reduced waste, and a stronger competitive position in the food and beverage industry.
Mortality risk during heatwaves: An evaluation of effects by heatwaves characteristics in Serbia

Published: January 2025

Extreme temperatures and heatwaves are recognized as one of the deadliest weather-related hazards. The first of its kind in the Balkans region, this study explores the effects of heatwave timing, duration, and intensity on mortality in Serbia. Using daily all-cause mortality data and mean temperature, a distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) evaluates the heat-mortality response for each city during the warm season (May to September) for the period 2000-2015 for Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš. Results indicate that longer heatwaves generally have a greater impact on mortality, regardless of when they occur in the warm season. When comparing warm and extremely warm days, relative risk (RR) increases with intensity, and RRs are higher for earlier season heatwaves Extremely warm, early season heatwaves show significantly high RR in all three cities, respectively, for Belgrade 1.37 (95% CI: 125, 1.5), for Novi Sad 1.27 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.5), and for Niš 1.47 (95% CI: 1.15, 1.87). The findings draw attention to how different heat events modify the health response in Serbia. Stakeholders who work to improve resilience to heat hazards may consider the development of an early warning heat system and a strengthening of local and regional outreach efforts designed to reduce adverse health outcomes.
Analyzing precipitation trends in the Cholistan Desert, Pakistan: A statistical and GIS-based study

Published: January 2025

Climate change is driving significant shif ts in temperature and precipitation patterns globally, with far-reaching socio-economic and environmental impacts, especially in arid regions. This study examines precipitation variability and long-term trends from 1980 to 2020 in Pakistan's Cholistan Desert, a region where water scarcity poses critical challenges for local communities and ecosystems. Using data from five meteorological stations, we applied a combination of Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and statistical analyses to assess both seasonal fluctuations and annual trends in precipitation. The results reveal notable spatial variability in precipitation trends across the Cholistan Desert. Positive trends, indicating increased precipitation over time, were observed in the northwestern areas, particularly at the Bhagla, Khanpur, and Fort Abbas stations. In contrast, significant negative trends were detected in the southwestern areas, represented by the DinGarh and MaujGarh stations, where precipitation has steadily decreased over the study period. These contrasting trends reveal the diverse impacts of climate change within the desert pointing out the areas that may face heightened water scarcity. The ongoing shif ts in precipitation necessitate targeted water management and climate adaptation strategies to address the challenges posed by these shif ting precipitation patterns. For areas with declining trends, strategies focused on rainwater harvesting and conservation will be critical. Regions experiencing increased precipitation may require infrastructure improvements to manage and store water more ef fectively.

Every end is also a new beginning. Therefore, football as a part of the social milieu, with the collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, finds a way to position itself in the community in new conditions and circumstances in Serbia. Immediately after the military collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the first matches began to be played. Interestingly, the initiator of those meetings was the German army. This was the case in Serbia, but also in Niš, where football was played in an organized manner from 1942 to the fall of 1944.

Published: January 2025

In this study; we analyzed the relationship between U.S. workers’ reported levels of ADHD symptomatology and the impact of pandemic conditions on symptomatic impairment and the estimated prevalence of Adult ADHD. We compared data from the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Screener (ASRS) collected during the pandemic with data from two pre-pandemic studies. Our findings indicate that during the pandemic; mean impairment scores on all six ASRS items increased; leading to a predicted rise in the Adult ADHD diagnosis rate to 9.26%; compared to the pre-pandemic estimate of 4.4%. These results suggest that more adults experienced significant ADHD-related challenges during the pandemic. As organizations continue to implement remote work and other pandemic-related changes; it is important to consider the unique difficulties that neurodiverse workers; particularly those with ADHD; may face in adapting to these new work environments.
