Published: May 2024

A Doença de Alzheimer (DA) acomete pessoas de todas as classes sociais em todo o mundo, sendo classificada como a forma mais comum de demência e caracterizada por degeneração progressiva das funções cognitivas, sobretudo da memória, atenção e linguagem, requerendo intervenção de terapeutas como os psicólogos. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em abordar a importância do psicólogo na identificação precoce da doença de Alzheimer, destacando suas contribuições específicas na identificação de sintomas cognitivos e comportamentais. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica realizada a partir de artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2024 predominando os últimos 5 anos. Foram pesquisados estudos indexados nas bases de dados constantes da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BCS) e na plataforma Google Acadêmico. Os achados sobre o conceito e estágios da DA mostraram que esta compromete as habilidades cognitivas e transcorre num processo degenerativo gradativo. O tratamento adequado, embora não possibilite a cura, pode proporcionar lentidão nesse processo e melhor qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Portanto, é crucial que o psicólogo esteja atento aos sinais iniciais e encaminhe seu cliente ao diagnóstico e tratamento precoces, pois isso pode ajudar a preservar a qualidade de vida do paciente e reduzir o impacto sobre seus entes queridos. Ficou evidenciado que o papel do psicólogo consiste na avaliação das habilidades cognitivas, envolvendo atenção, memória, humor, linguagem e funções relacionadas ao desempenho funcional. A partir desse processo avaliativo, procede ao auxílio na reaprendizagem do que pode ser aplicável no cotidiano que necessite organizar rotinas e cumpri-las. Dada a relevância do tema, sugere-se que sua abordagem seja incentivada entre os acadêmicos e entre veteranos na psicoterapia em prol da promoção de melhor qualidade de vida de pacientes com DA.

Published: May 2024

Abstract. The study aims to investigate the heterosis effect of crossing two imported rabbits with local rabbits on growth characteristics and performance using a nonlinear regression model. The study utilized three rabbit breeds: Flemish Giant rabbits (F), Rex rabbits (R), and Indonesian local rabbits (L). Selective breeding consisted of three breeds: F (FF), R (RR), and L (LL). Two crosses were formed between the male ancestors of L and the respective female ancestors of F (LF) and R (LR). Each offspring's body weight (BW) was measured every 3 d starting from birth. FF exhibited the highest BW among purebred animals. The LF crossbreed had a greater estimated mature weight compared with purebred animals. The predicted mature live weight of the asymptotic value for LR animals was higher than for LL rabbits but lower than for RR rabbits. The heterosis effect was lower when crossing L and F animals compared with crossing L and R animals. The average heterosis impact values were 4.68 for LF and 15.32 for LR. LF rabbits showed superior heterosis effects when the growth parameter and inflection point were determined using a logistic model. This study emphasizes the use of strategic breeding to optimize rabbit growth and performance by offering detailed insights into growth dynamics and heterosis effects in different crossbreeding situations.
The effects of warm-air intrusions in the high Arctic on cirrus clouds
Authors: Dekoutsidis Georgios , Wirth Martin , Groß Silke
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Warm-air intrusions (WAIs) are responsible for the transportation of warm and moist air masses from the mid-latitudes into the high Arctic (> 70° N). In this work, we study cirrus clouds that form during WAI events (WAI cirrus) and during undisturbed Arctic conditions (AC cirrus) and investigate possible differences between the two cloud types based on their macrophysical and optical properties with a focus on relative humidity over ice (RHi). We use airborne measurements from the combined high-spectral-resolution and differential-absorption lidar, WALES, performed during the HALO-(AC)3 campaign. We classify each research flight and the measured clouds as either AC or WAI, based on the ambient conditions, and study the macrophysical, geometrical and optical characteristics for each cirrus group. As our main parameter we choose the relative humidity over ice (RHi), which we calculate RHi by combining the lidar water vapor measurements with model temperatures. Ice formation occurs at certain RHi values depending on the dominant nucleation process taking place. RHi can thus be used as an indication of the nucleation process and the structure of cirrus clouds. We find that during WAI events the Arctic is warmer and moister and WAI cirrus clouds are both geometrically and optically thicker compared to AC cirrus. WAI cirrus clouds and the layer directly surrounding them are more frequently supersaturated, also at high supersaturations over the threshold for homogeneous ice nucleation (HOM). AC cirrus clouds have a supersaturation-dominated cloud top and a subsaturated cloud base. WAI cirrus clouds also have high supersaturations at cloud top but also at cloud base.
Impact of ice multiplication on the cloud electrification of a cold-season thunderstorm: a numerical case study

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Ice microphysics controls cloud electrification in thunderstorms, and the various secondary ice production (SIP) processes are vital in generating high ice concentrations. However, the role of SIP in cold-season thunderstorms is not well understood. In this study, the impacts of SIP on the electrification in a thunderstorm that occurred in late November are investigated using model simulations. The parameterizations of four SIP processes are implemented in the model, including the rime splintering, ice–ice collisional breakup, shattering of freezing drops, and sublimational breakup of ice. In addition, a noninductive charging parameterization and an inductive charging parameterization, as well as a bulk discharging model, are coupled with the spectral bin microphysics scheme. The macroscopic characteristics and the temporal evolution of this thunderstorm are well modeled. The radar reflectivity and flash rate obtained by adding four SIP processes are more consistent with the observations than those without SIP. Among the four SIP processes, the rime splintering has the strongest impact on the storm. The graupel and snow concentrations are enhanced while their sizes are suppressed due to the SIP. The changes in the ice microphysics result in substantial changes in the charge structure. The total charge density changes from an inverted tripole structure to a dipole structure (tripole structure at some locations) after four SIP processes are considered in the model, mainly due to the enhanced collision between graupel and ice. These changes lead to an enhancement of the vertical electric field, especially in the mature stage, which explains the improved modeling of flash rate. The results highlight that cold-season cloud electrification is very sensitive to the SIP processes.
Aerosol trace element solubility determined using ultrapure water batch leaching: an intercomparison study of four different leaching protocols

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Solubility of aerosol trace elements, which determines their bioavailability and reactivity, is operationally defined and strongly depends on the leaching protocol used. Ultrapure water batch leaching is one of the most widely used leaching protocols, while the specific leaching protocols used in different labs can still differ in agitation methods, contact time, and filter pore size. It is yet unclear to which extent the difference in these experimental parameters would affect the aerosol trace element solubility reported. This work examined the effects of agitation methods, filter pore size, and contact time on the solubility of nine aerosol trace elements and found that the difference in agitation methods (shaking vs. sonication), filter pore size (0.22 vs. 0.45 µm), and contact time (1 vs. 2 h) only led to small and sometimes insignificant difference in the reported solubility. We further compared aerosol trace element solubility determined using four ultrapure water leaching protocols, which are adopted by four different labs and vary in agitation methods, filter pore size, and/or contact time, and observed good agreement in the reported solubility. Therefore, our work suggests that although ultrapure water batch leaching protocols used by different labs vary in specific experimental parameters, the determined aerosol trace element solubility is comparable. We recommend that ultrapure water batch leaching be one of the reference leaching schemes and emphasize that additional consensus in the community on agitation methods, contact time, and filter pore size is needed to formulate a standard operating procedure for ultrapure water batch leaching.
Southern Ocean phytoplankton under climate change: a shifting balance of bottom-up and top-down control

Published: May 2024

Abstract. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food web by transforming CO2 into organic carbon via photosynthesis. Despite the importance of phytoplankton for marine ecosystems and global carbon cycling, projections of phytoplankton biomass in response to climate change differ strongly across Earth system models, illustrating uncertainty in our understanding of the underlying processes. Differences are especially large in the Southern Ocean, a region that is notoriously difficult to represent in models. Here, we argue that total (depth-integrated) phytoplankton biomass in the Southern Ocean is projected to largely remain unchanged under climate change by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) multi-model ensemble because of a shifting balance of bottom-up and top-down processes driven by a shoaling mixed-layer depth. A shallower mixed layer is projected on average to improve growth conditions, consequently weaken bottom-up control, and confine phytoplankton closer to the surface. An increase in the phytoplankton concentration promotes zooplankton grazing efficiency, thus intensifying top-down control. However, large differences across the model ensemble exist, with some models simulating a decrease in surface phytoplankton concentrations. To reduce uncertainties in projections of surface phytoplankton concentrations, we employ an emergent constraint approach using the observed sensitivity of surface chlorophyll concentration, taken as an observable proxy for phytoplankton, to seasonal changes in the mixed-layer depth as an indicator for future changes in surface phytoplankton concentrations. The emergent constraint reduces uncertainties in surface phytoplankton concentration projections by around one-third and increases confidence that surface phytoplankton concentrations will indeed rise due to shoaling mixed layers under global warming, thus favouring intensified top-down control. Overall, our results suggest that while changes in bottom-up conditions stimulate enhanced growth, intensified top-down control opposes an increase in phytoplankton and becomes increasingly important for the phytoplankton response to climate change in the Southern Ocean.

Abstract. During the Last Glacial Period (LGP), Greenland experienced approximately thirty abrupt warming phases, known as Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) Events, followed by cooling back to baseline glacial conditions. Studies of mean climate change across warming transitions reveal indistinguishable phase-offsets between shifts in temperature, dust, sea salt, accumulation and moisture source, thus preventing a comprehensive understanding of the “anatomy” of D-O cycles (Capron et al,. 2021). One aspect of abrupt change that has not been systematically assessed is how high-frequency, interannual-scale climatic variability surrounding mean temperature changes across D-O transitions. Here, we utilize the EGRIP ice core high-resolution water isotope record, a proxy for temperature and atmospheric circulation, to quantify the amplitude of 7–15 year isotopic variability for D-O events 2–13, the Younger Dryas and the Bølling-Allerød. On average, cold stadial periods consistently exhibit greater variability than warm interstadial periods. Most notably, we often find that reductions in the amplitude of the 7–15 year band led abrupt D-O warmings by hundreds of years. Such a large phase offset between two climate parameters in a Greenland ice core has never been documented for D-O cycles. However, similar centennial lead times have been found in proxies of Norwegian Sea ice cover relative to abrupt Greenland warming (Sadatzki et al., 2020). Using HadCM3, a fully coupled general circulation model, we assess the effects of sea ice on 7–15 year temperature variability at EGRIP. For a range of stadial and interstadial conditions, we find a strong relationship in line with our observations between colder simulated mean temperature and enhanced temperature variability at the EGRIP location. We also find a robust correlation between year-to-year North Atlantic sea-ice fluctuations and the strength of interannual-scale temperature variability at EGRIP. Thus, both paleoclimate proxy evidence and model simulations suggest that sea ice plays a substantial role in high-frequency climate variability prior to D-O warming. This provides a clue about the anatomy of D-O Events and should be the target of future sea-ice model studies.
VISIR-2: ship weather routing in Python
Authors: Mannarini Gianandrea , Salinas Mario Leonardo , Carelli Lorenzo , Petacco Nicola , Orović Josip
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Ship weather routing, which involves suggesting low-emission routes, holds potential for contributing to the decarbonisation of maritime transport. However, including because of a lack of readily deployable open-source and open-language computational models, its quantitative impact has been explored only to a limited extent. As a response, the graph-search VISIR (discoVerIng Safe and effIcient Routes) model has been refactored in Python, incorporating novel features. For motor vessels, the angle of attack of waves has been considered, while for sailboats the combined effects of wind and sea currents are now accounted for. The velocity composition with currents has been refined, now encompassing leeway as well. Provided that the performance curve is available, no restrictions are imposed on the vessel type. A cartographic projection has been introduced. The graph edges are quickly screened for coast intersection via a K-dimensional tree. A least-CO2 algorithm in the presence of dynamic graph edge weights has been implemented and validated, proving a quasi-linear computational performance. The software suite's modularity has been significantly improved, alongside a thorough validation against various benchmarks. For the visualisation of the dynamic environmental fields along the route, isochrone-bounded sectors have been introduced. The resulting VISIR-2 model has been employed in numerical experiments within the Mediterranean Sea for the entirety of 2022, utilising meteo-oceanographic analysis fields. For a 125 m long ferry, the percentage saving of overall CO2 expenditure follows a bi-exponential distribution. Routes with a carbon dioxide saving of at least 2 % with respect to the least-distance route were found for prevailing beam or head seas. Two-digit savings, up to 49 %, were possible for about 10 d in a year. In the case of an 11 m sailboat, time savings increased with the extent of path elongation, particularly during upwind sailing. The sailboat's routes were made approximately 2.4 % faster due to optimisation, with the potential for an additional 0.8 % in savings by factoring in currents. VISIR-2 serves as an integrative model, uniting expertise from meteorology, oceanography, ocean engineering, and computer science, to evaluate the influence of ship routing on decarbonisation efforts within the shipping industry.

Abstract. The global number of vulnerable citizens in areas of landslide risk is expected to increase due to the twin forces of climate change and growing urbanization. Self-constructed or informal settlements are frequently built in hazardous terrain such as on landslide-prone slopes. They are characterized by high dynamics of growth, simple construction methods and strong social dynamics and are exposed to unsteady political approaches. Landslide early warning systems (LEWSs) can contribute to decreasing their vulnerability, but precise, affordable and culturally integrated LEWSs need to be further developed. In this paper, we present a 4-year living-lab research project called Inform@Risk that aimed to develop a LEWS prototype in the neighborhood of Bello Oriente, located on the urban–rural border of Medellín, Colombia. Its research team is composed of landscape architects, geo-engineers, and remote sensing and geo-informatics experts. The research team collaborated with a multitude of stakeholders: civil society, private enterprises, non-governmental agencies and various branches of government. A preliminary LEWS with the last functionalities still to be developed has been designed, implemented and handed over to the government. It has entered a test and calibration phase (i.e., warning-threshold development, procedures for warning and alert dissemination through the sensor system), which is on hold due to legal constraints. Our first findings indicate that the integrative development of technical aspects of a LEWS in informal settlements can be challenging, albeit manageable, whereas the level of social and political support is beyond the control of the designer. Steady political will is needed to increase technical capacities and funding of the operation and maintenance of an increased amount of monitoring equipment. Social outreach has to be continuous in order to inform, train, maintain the trust and increase the self-help capacities of the often rapidly changing population of an informal settlement. Legal requirements for a transfer of academic research projects to municipal authorities have to be clear from the start. Satisfying replacement housing options for the case of evacuation have to be in place in order to not lose the overall acceptance of the LEWS. As political will and municipal budgets can vary, a resilient LEWS for informal settlements has to achieve sufficient social and technical redundancy to maintain basic functionality even in a reduced-governmental-support scenario.
Digital opportunities for promotion of multi-door Courthouse concept
Authors: Khamitovich Valeev Damir , Gaptraufovich Nuriev Anas
Published: May 2024

The article presents the prospects and new horizons of realization of a multi-door courthouse concept concerning modern digitalization processes. The legal system of contemporary Russia, deprived of several ideological institutions of the Soviet-era past, faced the same problem, which was relevant for the U.S.A. when creating the multi-door courthouse concept. The procedural legislation in force up to October 2019, which provided the possibility of non-judicial forms of protection of rights since the codification of 2002, proved ineffective in creating a worthy alternative to the state judicial procedure for protecting rights. Ground has been established to introduce the multi-door courthouse concept into Russian realities in a new way: a digital multi-door courthouse. This paper analyzes the modern approach to a “multi-door courthouse” in the Russian Federation, addressing its evolution, current issues and future perspectives. To achieve the paper’s aim, the authors used comparative legal analysis to show the development of the concept in different countries and a systemic approach to study the implementation of a “multi-door courthouse” in the Russian Federation.

Mediation as an effective way to settle economic disputes: Current experience and prospects for development
Authors: Konova Fatima
Published: May 2024

The mediation procedure is considered the most effective method of settling business conflicts in the system of alternative ways of dispute resolution through the prism of fundamental principles. The article reveals the advantages of settling cross-border economic disputes through mediation, including out-of-court procedures. The article examines doctrinal approaches to the mediation procedure, analyses the main problems of its unpopularity in the country and suggests ways to improve it and popularize it in Russian society through amendments to the mediation legislation, such as the legislative establishment of the term “mediation” and a uniform approach to the mediation procedure itself, including the requirements to the mediator’s identity and responsibility, as well as the exclusion from the legislation of the possibility of conducting mediation on a non-professional basis. The author pays special attention to the role of the judicial community in the development of mediation in the settlement of disputes in court.

The Dopamine Hypothesis as a Causal Explanation of Schizophrenia
Authors: Chanioti Maria , Lyrakos Georgios , Pilafas Georgios
Published: May 2024

Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, profoundly impacts individuals, families, and society, characterized by symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, speech, and motor behavior, as outlined in the DSM-5 criteria. Coined by Eugen Bleuler in 1911 to emphasize fragmented cognition, the term "schizophrenia" replaced Emile Kraepelin's "dementia praecox"(1908) reflecting its chronic nature, with an estimated prevalence of 1% in the general population and a significant heritability rate of around 79%. The dopamine hypothesis, central to schizophrenia research, suggests heightened dopaminergic transmission as a primary factor in its development, supported by the efficacy of antipsychotic drugs targeting dopamine receptors. However, recent studies have revealed complexities beyond dopamine dysfunction, including the glutamate hypothesis, which proposes deficits in glutamate activity as an alternative explanation. This essay critically evaluates the dopamine hypothesis within the broader biopsychosocial framework, emphasizing the interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors in schizophrenia etiology. Despite its foundational role, the dopamine hypothesis has limitations in fully clarifying the multifaceted nature of schizophrenia, highlighting the need for comprehensive approaches integrating diverse perspectives and methodologies to enhance understanding of this complex disorder.

Used toothbrushes are reservoirs for varieties of bacteria that are implicated in human disease transmission. Personal oral hygiene and removal of plaque are important roles played by the use of toothbrushes in an act endorsed for oral hygiene resolution and ubiquitously practiced in developing and developed Nations. The study aims to evaluate the prevalence and susceptibility of bacteria present in used toothbrushes of students residing in Halls I and II, University of Benin. New toothbrushes ninety (90) were bought and forty-five (45) each were distributed to students in each hall of residence, these toothbrushes were used for one month and collected for bacteria analysis. Standard bacteriological procedures were observed for the analysis. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 computer software package. Independent t-test was used to find the differences between the two variables.  The value of p< 0.05 was taken to be statistically significant. Heavy bacteria contamination was associated with used toothbrushes while no bacteria contamination in the unused ones, which serves as a control. Klebsiella species 16 (35.53 %), and 19 (42.2 %) were more prevalent than coagulase-negative staphylococci species 2 (4.4 %) and 2(4.4 %) respectively from both halls. All the toothbrushes analyzed in this study had bacteria contaminates that are known to harm human health, contributing significantly to the spread of diseases, and increasing infection risks. Establishing a high aseptic protocol, storage, and management be encouraged in tertiary institution halls of residence as the incidence of these oral bacteria and individual health risks will be minimized.
Les soubassements énactifs et glottomoteurs de la sémiomorphose lexicale

Published: May 2024

Le fait qu’un même mot puisse recouvrir des significations différentes dans une progression thématique soulève la question du statut du lexique. En effet selon que ce dernier est prélevé de la culture ou d’un tissage discursif, il aura soit une valeur d’usage, soit des valeurs d’échange. Certes le problème n’est pas nouveau. Cependant les solutions antérieures n’ont, de toute évidence, que contourné l’aporie. Prenant en compte la nature hybride du mot, nous tentons de discuter ses comportements partant de l’éclairage que nous offre le modèle de la cognition distribuée et parallèle ainsi que sa corporéité dans le processus de construction du sens. La faculté de langage apparaît alors comme que relais de la cognition pour transduire le contenu en une suite de mots. C’est dans l’énoncé que se repèrent les traces de signatures neuronales (cognèmes/ phognèmes) des mécanismes cognitivo-langagiers, nécessairement universels.

Art Design and Interior Color Selection for New Energy Vehicles using sustainable AI algorithm
Authors: Yibiao Long
Published: May 2024

New energy vehicles (NEVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry as a sustainable solution to reduce carbon emissions. In order to attract and retain customers, NEVS needs to have visually appealing exterior designs and interior color schemes. The traditional process of selecting art design and interior colors for vehicles can take time and effort. To address this challenge, our team has developed a sustainable AI algorithm for art design and interior color selection for NEVs. This algorithm utilizes machine learning techniques to analyze market trends, customer preferences, and sustainable color choices. The algorithm uses a database of color options and design elements to generate customizable options for NEV manufacturers. It reduces the need for physical prototypes and manual color matching, leading to cost and time savings. The algorithm also takes into consideration the sustainable aspect of NEVs by suggesting color options that are environmentally friendly and promote eco-consciousness.

Introduction: In Gabon, a territory located in Central Africa, prevention is an essential measure in the fight against malaria. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in the Komo-Mondah department, the prophylaxis practices employed by the inhabitants of the commune of Ntoum and the prevalence of anti-malarial drugs prescribed by local doctors. Methods: We carried out a prospective, cross-sectional study over a 3-month period, on patients of both sexes and of all ages who came for consultation to the departmental hospital of Ntoum. Patients who had a prescription for malaria drugs at the end of their medical visit were included in the study. Results: Of the 248 subjects enrolled, children under 5 years of age were the main victims (84%).Indeed, children under 5 were two (2) and three (3) times more likely to test positive to malaria than the age group 16-24 (OR = 2.44 [1.05 - 5.63]; P ˂ 0.05) , 25 and over (OR= 3.10 [1.46 - 6.59]; P ˂ 0.05), respectively. Anti-malaria prophylaxis was practiced by 80% of the study population. Patients who declared sleeping under a bed net appear to be protected compare to those who did not (OR= 0.53 [0.28 - 0.97] ; P ˂ 0.05). Self-medication was recorded in 29% of patients, and the drugs most commonly prescribed by doctors were artemisinin-based combinations, including Artefan (51%), Coartem (30%) and Eurartesim (2%). Conclusion: Although conventional prophylaxis measures (vector control and chemoprevention) are adopted by many Gabonese, careful pharmacological management and the implementation of targeted, long-term prevention-surveillance and health education strategies will enable effective malaria control in this part of Gabon.

One way to increase the production and quality of cayenne pepper seeds is by proper fertilization. The purpose of this study was to obtain the best concentration of NPK (16-16-16) fertilizer for the production and quality seeds of Bonita and Loblita varieties. This study used a nested design with a basic design of randomized group design consisting of 4 levels of NPK (16-16-16) fertilizer concentrations (0 g/l (control), 5 g/l, 10 g/l, and 20 g/l) and 2 varieties of cayenne pepper (Bonita and Loblita) using 3 replications. The concentration of 5 g/l NPK fertilizer (16-16-16) on the Bonita variety gave the best results on germination (85,33%), seed growth speed (24,73%/ethmal), and seed growth uniformity (84,33%). While in the Loblita variety, the concentration of NPK fertilizer (16-16-16) 10 g/l gives the best results on germination (83%), seed growth speed (11,31%/ethmal), and seed growth uniformity (64,33%).
Pakistan's path to sustainability: Advancements in cleaner production, a circular economy, and climate-smart solutions

Pakistan is at a critical juncture in its sustainability journey, a moment characterized by diverse land­scapes and resilient communities. This commentary explores the multifaceted approach necessary to tackle the nation’s environmental, economic, and societal challenges within the framework of cleaner production, a circular economy, and climate-smart solutions. Environmental issues loom large, with rising air and water pollution, land degradation, and the increasing threat of climate change. To combat these challenges, adopting cleaner production tech­nologies and circular economy practices across industries is imperative. Pakistan is embracing cir­cular principles to mitigate pollution, reduce waste, and enhance resource efficiency, particularly in the agricultural sector, where circular agriculture prac­tices are ensuring food security and sustainability. The circular economy is an economic model that aims to minimize waste and make the most effi­cient use of resources by keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling. It seeks to design out waste and pollution, regenerate natural systems, and transition toward renewable energy sources (Bourguignon, 2016). In Pakistan, the nation’s broad aspirations and goals regarding the circular economy are centered around sustaina­ble development and environmental stewardship. The government is committed to promoting prin­ciples of a circular economy to address environ­mental challenges, enhance resource efficiency, and promote economic growth. . . .
(Un)likely Allies: Public Theology and Theological Interpretation in Conversation
Authors: Parker Dylan
Published: May 2024

Theological interpretation of Scripture and public theology have so far said very little to one another. To a certain extent, this is understandable, as the two are involved in separate projects with differing priorities and questions. However, a mutually beneficial dialogue is possible. Public theology has yet to devote significant attention to the role of Scripture in public engagement and theological interpretation provides a framework better suited than historical criticism for allowing the Bible to speak to current situations. In return, public theology can help theological interpretation to clarify the public nature of the ecclesial community through the development of a public ecclesiology in order to better hear the voice of God in Scripture through a more holistic theological reading, one with a thicker defense against ecclesial tendencies toward authoritarianism and privatism. In establishing the possibility of a mutually beneficial relationship, this article provides a rationale for the relationship between public theology and theological interpretation to begin outright.

This paper analyses the distributional impact of high consumer inflation in the euro area and government measures to compensate households in 2022. The study uses the tax-benefit microsimulation model for the European Union (EUROMOD) with microdata as the input – EU statistics on income and living conditions (EU-SILC) and household budget surveys (HBS) – to quantify the distributional impact of inflation, income support measures and measures aimed at containing prices. The analysis confirms that purchasing power and welfare were more severely affected by the 2022 inflation surge among lower-income households than among higher-income households. Fiscal measures compensated households for about a third of their welfare loss, though with significant differences across countries. At the same time, fiscal measures reduced the inequality gap between lower and higher-income households by around 60%. Most fiscal measures were not particularly well targeted at low-income households, resulting in a higher than necessary fiscal burden to cushion the distributional impact of the inflationary shock.
