Vivian Castleberry
Authors: Voss Kimberly Wilmot
Published: July 2024

Considered by some as the most important woman in Dallas in the latter half of the 20th century, Vivian Castleberry was a force for women, nationally and internationally. In shining a light on her career, more becomes known about her fights and her victories. Through this book, historians can better understand that the relationship of the women’s pages to the women’s movement between the 1950s and '70s was more complex than previously explored. Known as the “godmother” of the Dallas women’s movement, Vivian was a trailblazer. Yet, she was also a mother of five daughters at a time when working outside the home was still being challenged, and that was an experience many middle-class women struggled with. Her role in the public sphere meant she often told the stories of others. This book is her story.
Centering Hope As a Sustainable Decolonial Practice
Authors: González-Justiniano Yara
Published: July 2024

Where is the hope? What does it look like? Is the Christian church providing a hope that materializes in the grounding of people’s thriving? These questions posed the catalysts of this work where the author sets up a journey that parses the definition of hope within Christian theology as an ontological category of the human experience. Through ethnographic research and ecclesial study of diverse congregations in Puerto Rico the work moves from an articulation of context, hope, practice, and future to reveal its aim of liberation through a hope that can be sustainable in time and space. She analyzes the operations of political systems that suppress hope in the island. Weaving the theme of a theology of hope, with the fields of ecclesiology, memory studies, postcolonial and decolonial theory, liberation theology, and the study of social movements she builds a model that puts hope at the center of socio-economic practices and moves toward a recipe for a hope that is sustainable in practice.
Non-Migration Amidst Zimbabwe's Economic Meltdown
Authors: Jaji Rose
Published: July 2024

Non-Migration Amidst Zimbabwe’s Economic Meltdown addresses the complexities surrounding non-migration in Zimbabwe within the context of protracted political and economic uncertainty. Rose Jaji discusses how individual subjectivities mediate macroeconomic factors and critiques simplistic explanations of non-migration, paying particular attention the complexities and contradictions involved in the decision not to migrate. The book ends with a discussion of the synergistic relationship between non-migration and migration, demonstrating how one can morph into the other in response to evolving individual circumstances and macroeconomic factors.
The Power of the Metaphysical Artifact
Authors: Frausto Obed
Published: July 2024

In the nineteenth century, French and Mexican intellectuals had a common interest in providing a groundwork for educating better citizens in response to social crises. There were political and philosophical controversies regarding science and technology in this environment between spiritualists (humanists) and positivists (scientists). One of the book’s objectives is to demonstrate that political projects influenced philosophical and scientific arguments in dispute. Power and knowledge were intertwined in these controversies. Another objective of the book is to show that controversies can be seen as a dispute between two cultures between those in favor of science and technology and those in favor of philosophy and the humanities. Their constant polemics articulated a third culture based on an intertwining of power and knowledge. This articulation had an implicit dimension in which philosophy, science, and technology had to interact to enrich the political potential of the human experience of thinking. They were able to grasp a mix or a synthesis that conceptualized the power of a metaphysical artifact in which philosophy, science, and technology belong to the same culture, where politics helps invite dialogue between different cultural, religious, and political perspectives.
A Post-Colonial Reconstruction of Africa
Authors: Coetzee Pieter H.
Published: July 2024

A Post-Colonial Reconstruction of Africa surveys the significant reconstruction work undertaken in the social and political organization of sub-Saharan African society in the decades following the colonial interruption and subjects these efforts to rigorous criticism in order to establish whether they can carry the weight of modernization efforts in Africa. To examine the significant trends, it highlights the work of African intellectuals such as Kwasi Wiredu, Kwame Gyekye, Paulin Hountondji, Kwame Nkrumah, Anthony Appiah, Ato Sekyi-Otu, and Bernard Matolino. Pieter H. Coetzee argues that reconstruction inspired by traditional communitarian systems of social organization, including the modified form presented by Matolino, do not adequately do justice to the liberty aspirations of individuals in an era when the demand for increased democratization has become globally paramount. Reconstruction efforts inspired by appeal to native traditions of liberalism, including native conceptions of individual rights, fare better in this regard. However, current reconstruction efforts have done little to rescue Africans from the negative economic effects of colonialism and neo-colonialism and fail to alleviate self-perception problems created by Western racism. Appiah’s cosmopolitan option and Sekyi-Otu’s left universalism are notable exceptions.
Ecology of Vocation
Authors: Jorgenson Kiara A.
Published: July 2024

Critically surveying various approaches to Christian ecological ethics alongside the vexing moral ambiguities of the Anthropocene, Ecology of Vocation offers an integrative approach to responsible living vis à vis one of Protestantism’s key theological resources— the doctrine of vocation. Drawing on H. Richard Niebuhr’s germinal ethical framework with a decidedly ecofeminist perspective, Kiara A. Jorgenson demonstrates how vocation’s emphasis on right relationship practically speaks to the embodied realities of planetary interrelatedness. By excavating the ecological promise of the early Reformers’ democratized renderings of calling and linking their concerns to the contemporary context, she argues that vocation cannot be reduced to the particular aim of monetized work, nor to an elitist escape from it. Rather, vocation must be recast as the dynamic and vibrant space among the myriad roles any of us inhabits at any given time in a particular place. When understood in this light, vocation signals much more than a job, a passion, or a quest for self-discovery. An alternative understanding of vocation’s very ecology can extend Christian conceptions of the neighbor beyond the human and lead the church to more faithfully pursue lives characterized by humility, restraint, wisdom, justice, and love.
Leading Lutheran Higher Education in a Secular Age
Authors: Beckstrom Brian
Published: July 2024

Lutheran colleges and universities occupy a distinctive space in American higher education. In an age where the dividing line between sacred and secular has become blurred, Brian Beckstrom argues that their "rooted and open" approach, combined with adaptive theological leadership, could be the best hope for faith based higher education. To do so, he provides an overview of Lutheran higher education, its history, and identity, and combines surveys of students, faculty, and staff at Lutheran institutions with leadership theory and theological reflection. Leaders at Lutheran colleges and universities will find it to be helpful in understanding their mission, identity, and vocation in a secular age, and navigating the changing cultural environment that challenges the church and higher education alike.
The Nonviolent Apocalypse
Authors: Meyers Jeffrey D.
Published: July 2024

Revelation is resistance literature, written to instruct early Christians on how to live as followers of Jesus in the Roman Empire. The Nonviolent Apocalypse uses modern examples and scholarship on nonviolence to help illuminate Revelation’s resistance, arguing that Revelation’s famously violent visions are actually acts of nonviolent resistance to the Empire. The visions form part of Revelation’s proclamation of God’s way as a just and life-giving alternative to the system constructed by Rome. Revelation urges its readers to pursue this radical form of living, engaging in nonviolent resistance to all that stands in the way of God’s vision for the world.
The Identity of John the Evangelist
Authors: Furlong Dean
Published: July 2024

This book examines the various Johannine narratives found in writings in the period from Papias (early second century) to Eusebius (early fourth century). Dean Furlong argues that the first major revision of the Johannine narrative was the identification of John the Evangelist with John the Apostle, the son of Zebedee, at the beginning of the third century. This in turn initiated a process of reinterpretation, as the previously-separate narratives of the two figures were variously spun into new configurations during the third and fourth centuries. This process culminated with Eusebius’s synthesis of the Johannine traditions, which came to form the basis of what is considered the “traditional” Johannine story. Furlong concludes that in the earliest narrative, found in Papias, John the Evangelist was identified, not with the Apostle, but with another disciple of Jesus known as John the Elder.
The Holy Spirit and Moral Action in Thomas Aquinas
Authors: Mahoney, SJ Jack
Published: July 2024

The Holy Spirit and Moral Action in Thomas Aquinas is a detailed study of how, according to one of Christianity’s greatest visionary thinkers, God’s Holy Spirit is continuously at work in and through humanity’s moral activity. Jack Mahoney, SJ, documents, notably from Aquinas’s commentaries on scripture, how “the grace of the Holy Spirit” prompts and influences people’s minds, as well as their decisions to act, occasionally in unexpected ways. Through the gift of connatural wisdom, the Spirit empowers humans to appreciate God’s own wise and loving design for the whole of creation, and enables them to cooperate freely in fulfilling their unique part in it.
Flesh Made Word
Authors: Smelser White Lauren
Published: July 2024

This book delineates the individualist “interpretation problem” that has long beset Protestant biblical interpretation and engages theological resources that could serve to move beyond it. Lauren Smelser White argues that readers of Scripture—specifically those who long to submit their lives to God's transforming Word, which they believe the Bible discloses—ought to reckon with the participatory role that human bodies (corporeal and corporate) play in producing revelation's norms. Such a reckoning need not entail giving up on Scripture delivering the life-changing address of a divine Other. In support of that claim, White distills a picture of revelation as a divine-human discursive encounter: a process wherein our hermeneutic constructions are incorporated into the Word's self-disclosure, and whereby interpreters who embrace this venture in vulnerability may experience graced transformation. She concludes by proposing that this “Christomorphic” interpretation process is analogous to a mother’s embodied responsiveness in caring for her child. Such a hermeneutic paradigm suggests distinctive commitments from communities who desire to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in interpretive acts.
Matthew, Disability, and Stress
Authors: Engelhardt Jillian D.
Published: July 2024

In Matthew, Disability, and Stress: Examining Impaired Characters in the Context of Empire, Jillian D. Engelhardt examines four Matthean healing narratives, focusing on the impaired characters in the scenes. Her reading is informed by both empire studies and social stress theory, a method that explores how the stress inherent in social location can affect psychosomatic health. By examining the Roman imperial context in which common folk lived and worked, she argues that attention to social and somatic circumstances, which may have accompanied or caused the described disabilities/impairments, destabilizes readings of these stories that suggest the encounter with Jesus was straightforwardly good and the healing was permanent. Instead, Engelhardt proposes various new contexts for and offers more nuanced characterizations of the disabled/impaired people in each discussed scene, resulting in ambiguous interpretations that de-center Jesus and challenge able-bodied assumptions about embodiment, disability, and healing.
Ecumenical and Interreligious Identities in Nigeria
Authors: Okpaleke Ikenna Paschal
Published: July 2024

Dialogue can bring about transformation. That conviction grounds Ikenna Paschal Okpaleke’s argument concerning dialogue between groups and ecumenical and interreligious dialogue in particular. In Ecumenical and Interreligious Identities in Nigeria: Transformation through Dialogue, he examines the fundamental question: What are the additional assets and transformed views which Christian denominations committed to ecumenical dialogue can bring to the table of interreligious dialogue? If Christian dialogue partners, particularly in Nigeria (in this case, Anglicans and Roman Catholics), can change how they perceive one another—moving from antagonism to friendship, division to unity—then they, as ecumenically transformed Christians, can better engage in fruitful and transforming dialogue with the religious other, particularly Muslims. This book addresses (a) the constituents of communal identity and the impact of dialogue on such identity; (b) how the Anglican–Roman Catholic dialogue has (or has not) transformed the communal identities of the dialogue partners, particularly in the local context of Nigeria; (c) the ways in which the perceived advantages of a transformative model of dialogue, shaped by ecumenical encounter and dialogue, can be applied to interreligious encounter and dialogue; and (d) how theological reflection interacts with praxis in promoting transformation through dialogue.
Reading John through Johannine Lenses
Authors: Harstine Stan
Published: July 2024

Reading John through Johannine Lenses demonstrates that the model an interpreter chooses for examining the Gospel of John significantly impacts the resulting interpretation. The Fourth Evangelist uses key words in the prologue in order to guide the reader toward key moments in the gospel. Stan Harstine shows how four words— life, word, receive, and believe— converge at transition points in John 5, 12, and 17. Their close relationship is not random; rather, it guides the reader to recall what the Gospel has presented in the preceding section, providing a road map for understanding the narrative. By using interpretive models from both diachronic and synchronic methodologies, Harstine’s comparison of traditional historical methods with more recent narrative and rhetorical methods demonstrates the wide disparity of results from prior approaches, thus accentuating the importance of reading the Fourth Gospel through the lenses it provides its readers.
Ethnoreligiosity in the Contemporary Societies of the Former Yugoslavia
Authors: Sekulic Branko
Published: July 2024

Using Christian communities in the former Yugoslavia as a case study, Branko Sekulić introduces the concept of ethnoreligiosity to the theological discussion in order to resolve the confusion that occurs when scholars talk about the concepts of ethno-religion or ethnoreligion. Ethno-religion/ethnoreligion came to describe the phenomenon of ethnic religion as a certain cultural specificity and which by itself has no negative connotation, but due to the lack of a better expression , it has been used as a term for the phenomenon of ethnic and religious conflict and discrimination. In that sense, ethnoreligiosity can be defined as a phenomenon resulting from the usurpation of the religious aspect of human life by the ethnic one, or more precisely, it emerges as a consequence of an ethnic (ethnonational) ideological overtaking of the structures of the religious organization. It takes place through the attempt to give sacral connotation to a particular ethnonational myth as an integral part of ethnonational ideology, with the result that religious feeling is no longer generated on a religious but primarily on an ethnonational base. By understanding the proper definition and manifestation of ethnoreligiosity, one will have the opportunity to discern the basic components of this phenomenon not only within the countries of the former Yugoslavia, but in other countries as well.
Navigating Postmodern Theology
Authors: McGravey Michael J.
Published: July 2024

Theology in the postmodern era has encountered various cultural and narrative shifts which have helped shape the Roman Catholic Church and Christianity at large. Negatively, the Church has been affected by external factors (e.g., globalization, immigration/emigration, increased access to technology, etc.) and internal struggles (e.g., reduced church attendance, an aging population, etc.). Positively, postmodernity has ushered in a return to religion through new philosophical and theological ideas (e.g., phenomenology, existentialism, post-metaphysics, etc.). This book aims to contribute to the ongoing postmodern concerns addressed in the cultural and narrative shifts, by focusing on the work of Jean-Luc Marion and Gianni Vattimo. The emphasis of this project focuses on the use of metaphysics as the foundational tool of theology and its corresponding limitations while also addressing the Christian virtue of caritas. Addressing this attribute of Christianity, this project observes the possibility of a ‘return to religion,’ one that reflects the postmodern exploration of religion by the several philosophers addressed herein. While Michael J. McGravey avoids offering a reconstruction of theology or, more specifically ecclesiology, he aims to re-establish the importance of philosophy, metaphysics, and caritas in the postmodern context.
Bees, Wasps, and Weasels
Authors: Scheuer Blaženka
Published: July 2024

In this book, Blaženka Scheuer explores the zoomorphic content of Zibburta (bee/wasp) and Karkušta (weasel)—demeaning names given by R. Naḥman of b. Meg 14b to Deborah and Huldah, two distinguished prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Looking closely at relevant texts, she explores ancient beliefs about bees, wasps, and weasels, recounting a variety of key literary and visual motifs that highlight the different attributes of these animals. Scheuer demonstrates the multiple ways in which zoomorphic images were used as interpretative keys both in the formation of Deborah and Huldah stories in the Hebrew Bible and in their subsequent versions. In a constant process of interaction with their cultural contexts, such zoomorphism represents an attempt to define the rabbinic beliefs about the role of women in Jewish tradition but also about the nature of God. Scheuer argues that the symbolic association of bees and weasels with asexual conception and birth also made the zoomorphic slurs about Deborah and Huldah effective as an argument against the doctrine of virgin birth in early Christianity. Emphasizing the foundational process of constant negotiation of traditions and textual interpretations, Scheuer exposes the culturally rich and religiously competitive world in which the biblical texts were transmitted.
Oral Law of Ancient Israel
Authors: Miller II, OFS Robert D.
Published: July 2024

This book presents a new window on the legal system of Ancient Israel. Building on the understanding that Israel was a society where writing was the medium for some forms of discourse but not others, where written texts were performed orally and rewritten from oral performances, Robert D. Miller II, OFS, examines law and jurisprudence in this oral-and-literate world. Using Iceland as an ethnographic analogy, Miller shows how law was practiced, performed, and transmitted; the way written artifacts of the law fit into oral performance and transmission; and the relationship of the detritus of law that survives in the Hebrew Bible, both Torah and Proverbs, to that earlier social world.
Immediate Perioperative Results and Early Survival in Patients Undergoing Aortic Repair for Thoracic Acute Aortic Dissection: Risk Factors Analysis and Surgical Implications
Authors: Nardi Paolo , Cristian Salvati Alessandro , Scognamiglio Mattia , Ajello Valentina , Flaminio Marzia , Moresco Manuela , De Felice Laura , Altieri Claudia
Published: July 2024

Emergent surgical repair of thoracic acute aortic dissection (TAAD) aims to prevent potentially lethal complications including cardiac tamponade, neurological damage, acute aortic valve dysfunction, rupture of the aortic wall into the pericardial space, or myocardial infarction due to the dissection of the coronary ostia. Furthermore, the progression of the dissection involving peripheral arteries with, consequently, a possible preoperative multiple-organ malperfusion can lead to a drastic increase in operative risk. In fact, even with prompt surgical treatment, TAAD continues to be associated with an in-hospital mortality rate of 20–30%, and malperfusion of various organ systems can dramatically increase the operative mortality. From the analysis of the various pre- and perioperative risk factors, it is possible to evaluate the real operative risk and establish in which patients emergency surgery continues to offer a substantial prognostic benefit in comparison with medical therapy only and in which surgery, on the contrary, may not offer any prognostic advantage.
Sheltering Hope: Navigating the Nexus of Refugee Housing Conditions and Well-Being
Authors: Bhattacharjee Suchismita , Noyori-Corbett Chie , Akter Salma
Published: July 2024

Housing a crucial social determinant of health and well-being is a fundamental right under the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This chapter provides an overview of literature focusing on the impact of housing on the health and well-being of refugee populations, during post-resettlement. Housing is a basic human right, and refugees often face significant challenges in accessing safe and adequate housing, experiencing substandard living conditions in both camp and resettlement settings. Existing research emphasizes the factors influencing refugee housing quality, affordability, and stability, highlighting the need for tailored support services and policy interventions in resettlement countries. Beyond mere shelter, “healthy housing” encompasses safety, privacy, psychological, and physical well-being, fostering development and social integration. Community integration and empowerment emerge as critical factors in fostering positive housing outcomes, with inclusive housing policies and placemaking efforts playing essential roles in promoting a sense of belonging and identity among refugee communities. This chapter stresses the impact of housing conditions on refugee health and well-being, advocating for inclusive policies and community integration efforts to foster a sense of belonging and identity among refugee populations. Recommendations include enhancing housing affordability, improving access to resources and support services, and fostering transparent communication and accountability within housing systems.

Published: July 2024

Soybean oil (SO), a lucrative and widely utilized vegetable oil, is used not only in the pharmaceutical industry but also to produce green diesel and several biomedical applications. SO is rich in healthy fats, including linoleic acid (54%), oleic acid (23%), palmitic acid (11%), linolenic acids (8%), and stearic acid (4%). Its high unsaturated fatty acid content makes it ideal for medicinal purposes. In topical application, SO provides anti-inflammatory and soothing benefits. The presence of SO in lipid-based medication improves the therapeutic efficacy and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Its emulsifying properties support the development of Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SEDDS) and Self-Micro Emulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SMEDDS), helping the oral administration of hydrophobic drugs. Additionally, soybean oil is included in total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solutions to provide essential fatty acids to patients unable to swallow. SO, biocompatibility, stability, and low toxicity make it a brilliant base for transcutaneous and topical delivery systems, enlightening the absorption of active medicinal ingredients. In gist, unique properties and a wide variety of applications make SO a star material in pharmaceuticals to enhance solubility, bioavailability, and the development of safe and effective drugs.

The influence of natural bilingualism on foreign language acquisition
Authors: Попова Ю.И.
Published: July 2024

влияние естественного билингвизма на овладение иностранным языком может быть значительным, поскольку билингвы, владеющие двумя языками с раннего возраста, часто демонстрируют большую гибкость в изучении новых языков. Они могут быстрее усваивать новую лексику и грамматику, а также лучше понимать лингвистические структуры. Это связано с тем, что их мозг уже привык к обработке различных языковых систем, что облегчает адаптацию к новым языковым условиям. Кроме того, билингвы часто обладают улучшенными когнитивными способностями, такими как внимание, концентрация и многозадачность, что также может способствовать более эффективному изучению иностранных языков. Однако стоит отметить, что индивидуальные различия, такие как мотивация, возраст, опыт и образовательный контекст, также играют важную роль в процессе изучения языка. Таким образом, хотя билингвизм может предоставлять преимущества, он не является единственным фактором успеха в овладении иностранным языком.

the influence of natural bilingualism on foreign language acquisition can be significant, since bilinguals who speak two languages from an early age often show great flexibility in learning new languages. They can learn new vocabulary and grammar faster, as well as better understand linguistic structures. This is due to the fact that their brains are already used to processing different language systems, which makes it easier to adapt to new language conditions. In addition, bilinguals often have improved cognitive abilities such as attention, concentration and multitasking, which can also contribute to more effective learning of foreign languages. However, it is worth noting that individual differences such as motivation, age, experience, and educational context also play an important role in the language learning process. Thus, although bilingualism can provide advantages, it is not the only factor of success in mastering a foreign language.
RESTORATION AND CONSTRUCTION WORKS CARRIED OUT IN OUR TERRITORIES LIBERATED FROM OCCUPATION
Authors: Aliyev Tarlan Gulmirza , Aliyev Javid Gulmirza
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The article researches the restoration and construction works in Karabakh and East Zangezur, which were freed from occupation as a result of the 44-day Patriotic War. A comprehensive approach to solving the problems of return and resettlement is shown in order to realize the Great Return plan, and the important tasks facing Azerbaijan are studied. The article shows the importance of demining in the territories that are liberated from occupation. In demining areas, first of all, there is a talk of building the necessary infrastructure.

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms that can occur in various organs, being most common in the gastroenteropancreatic tract and lungs. Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (NECB) is a rare and heterogeneous subtype, lacking standardized therapeutic guidelines and protocols, with limited prospective clinical studies. This paper reviews the available literature and presents a clinical case to illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic management of NECB. Methods: A literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar to identify studies on NECB. Additionally, a clinical case of a patient diagnosed with NECB was analyzed, documenting her clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and evolution. Results: NECB represents less than 1% of all breast cancers, with variability in its presentation and prognosis. The case of a patient with NECB who received systemic treatment based on chemotherapy is presented, exemplifying the management of this rare and diagnostically and therapeutically challenging tumor. Discussion: The diagnosis of NECB is complex due to the rarity of the tumor and the lack of specific clinical characteristics. Immunohistochemistry is crucial for confirming the diagnosis. The lack of standardized therapeutic guidelines complicates treatment, often necessitating the extrapolation of strategies from other invasive breast cancers. Conclusion: NECB is a rare and aggressive tumor with limited treatment options. Chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide can be effective, as observed in this case. Given the aggressive nature of this tumor and the few treatment options available, it is vital to consider participation in clinical trials to improve outcomes. Additionally, a multidisciplinary approach and evaluation by a tumor board are essential to guide therapeutic decisions and ensure the best possible care for these patients.
