Raised from the Dead According to Scripture
Authors: Novakovic Lidija
Published: February 2024

The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it.

Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. We can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection.
Women in Mark’s Gospel
Authors: Miller Susan
Published: February 2024

“"The strengths of Miller's study are numerous. Firstly she focuses on all the female characters in Mark, and not only those who are portrayed positively. Secondly she engages feminist scholars such as Amy-Jill Levine in an informed and independent manner. Thirdly she succeeds in connecting the inclusion of women in the ministry of Jesus, with the apocalyptic message of Mark. I found Susan Miller's study to be a highly original and stimulating anaylsis... it is clear that her study has made a meaningful contribution, not only to feminist studies of Mark, but also to Markan studies in general." Marius Nel, University of Pretoria” -Marius Nel

“'Miller's analysis is a valuable contribution to Markan and feminist scholarship... this study offers a rare analysis of Mark's female characters... and it is the only study that analyses the impact of Mark's eschatology on his portrayal of women.... This books offers a fresh perspective on women in Mark that will interest a variety of readers.' Molly House, Themelios, 32/1” -Molly House, Themelios

“'this book is a thorough study of all the passages in Mark that feature women characters... There is a stimulating exegesis of the significance of the verb diakoneo... in several contexts.'

Contemporary Media Art Performance under the Visual Threshold of Interpretation
Authors:   The Northeast Asian Business and Economic Association (NABEA), k k
Published: February 2024

Purpose - Introduce contemporary media art, study the virtual representation forms of contemporary media art, and deeply explore the artistic meanings expressed by their forms of expression.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on the characteristics of artistic expression such as innovation and interactivity, this article applies the three elements of understanding, interpretation, and application in hermeneutics theory to interpret multimedia art works.
Findings - This article analyzes contemporary media art works from three dimensions of hermeneutics: understanding, interpretation, and application. The conclusion is that artists express their desire for balance and wisdom, their perception of the world's spiritual state through multimedia forms, and also enable readers to associate and make independent judgments about the works, thereby exploring their own spiritual world and perceptual experience. At the same time, participants themselves are also creating meaning, interpreting value, completing perception, determining intention, and jointly explaining the humanistic value and responsibility of the work with the artist.
Research Implications - The study of cultural communication at the visual level plays an important role in the development of social information. Multimedia image visual art has been integrated into daily aesthetic life in the form of popular culture, becoming the most important carrier for exploring artistic life. This article combines theory and practice, using typical art cases for specific analysis, in order to better apply contemporary multimedia art theory to artistic creation, and provide fresh materials and beneficial attempts for the research of digital media art application theory.

Museology in Spain: From Museum Studies and Museology to Heritology
Authors: Lorente J. Pedro
Published: February 2024

Since the 19th century Spaniards had been studying museums with uneven zeal, somehow disconnected from the outburst of theoretical scholarship that was shaping a new academic discipline in other parts of the world after World War II. A period of political transition and growing internationalisation coincided with the tenure of Luis Monreal Tejada as Secretary-General of ICOM, from 1974 to 1985. However, only at the turn of the second millennium Museology boomed in the Spanish cultural context with numerous specialised publications and postgraduate courses, including the veteran M.A. in Museums Education and Communication of Saragossa University. Such academic blossom was in tune with the highest predicament worldwide of the Nouvelle Muséologie, which found a stronghold in Spain, emulating influential precedents in France and Latin America; then, Spanish universities were also an early cradle for the development in Europe of the so-called Critical Museology. Nowadays, despite some exceptions, such as the Study Programme in Critical Museology offered by the National Museum of Contemporary Art Reina Sofía in 2024, not only our training courses but also our book publishers are broadening their focus to encompass extra-museal or para-museal issues: Heritage Studies are proliferating in all our campuses. Are we experiencing the advent of a science to be called Patrimoniología or ‘Heritology’?

Improving Power Quality Using D-STATCOM with Capacitor as Energy Storage System
Authors: Faizan Muhammad , Muhammad Fazal
Published: February 2024

Power electronics are used more frequently to raise awareness of power quality which must be considered when designing modern power systems for effective operation and continuous power supply to various load centers. Otherwise, it will be hazardous for residential and commercial customers, reducing the production of their work due to faults and equipment damage. Electronic technology known as Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) may improve power stability to make the electric power system efficient. Oscillation damping in the Power system is still a big concern for operating a safe and dependable power system. The static synchronous compressor (STATCOM) is connected to assist power networks with poor power quality and voltage regulation. Although there are several uses, voltage stability is the most frequently used. An average model of the D-STATCOM control approach is presented in this work to improve the transmission of power quality flow and voltage stability in electric power systems. An increase in system voltage stability, reactive power flow control for different loads, and dynamic response of STATCOM are the primary goals of this research work.

Measurement report: Observations of ground-level ozone concentration gradients perpendicular to the Lake Ontario shoreline
Authors: Huang Yao Yan , Donaldson D. James
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Ground-level ozone (O3) is a secondary air pollutant that has harmful effects on human and ecosystem health. Close to larger bodies of water, the well-known sea-breeze (or lake-breeze) phenomenon plays a role in regulating ground-level ozone levels. An observed lake-edge removal effect, where ozone concentration decreases within the first 500 m to 1 km perpendicular to the lake, is thought to be related to the lake-breeze circulation as well as several dilution and removal pathways. A field campaign was conducted in summer 2022 and winter 2023 in two locations on the north shore of Lake Ontario: the urban centre of Toronto and suburban Oshawa, some 50 km east, to assess how the local environment and season affect the lake-edge removal effect. Ozone, wind speed, and wind direction were measured on 6–7 different days in each season and city along transects perpendicular to Lake Ontario's shoreline. A consistent negative linear relationship between ozone concentration and distance from shore over the first 500 m (i.e. a lake-edge removal effect) was observed in both cities and both seasons. The ozone gradient changed in Oshawa from −23.5 ± 8.5 (1 standard deviation) ppb km−1 in summer to −8.1 ±  5.1 ppb km−1 in winter. The slope remained consistent in Toronto at −15.4 ± 6.7 ppb km−1 in summer and −16.7 ± 7.3 ppb km−1 in winter. The year-round observation of an ozone gradient and lake-edge removal effect suggests that there is an inherent “baseline” ozone concentration gradient at the lake edge, caused by the dilution effect of the rapid increase of the boundary layer there. This gradient is seen to be enhanced in the summer and dependent on local effects such as lake-breeze circulation and increased deposition to vegetation.
3D reconstruction of horizontal and vertical quasi-geostrophic currents in the North Atlantic Ocean
Authors: Asdar Sarah , Ciani Daniele , Buongiorno Nardelli Bruno
Published: February 2024

Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new high-resolution (1/10°) data-driven dataset of 3D ocean currents developed by the National Research Council of Italy in the framework of the European Space Agency World Ocean Circulation project: the WOC-NATL3D dataset. The product domain extends over a wide portion of the North Atlantic Ocean from the surface down to 1500 m depth, and the dataset covers the period between 2010 and 2019. To generate this product, a diabatic quasi-geostrophic diagnostic model is applied to data-driven 3D temperature and salinity fields obtained through a deep learning technique, along with ERA5 fluxes and empirical estimates of the horizontal Ekman currents based on input provided by the European Copernicus Marine Service. The assessment of WOC-NATL3D currents is performed by direct validation of the total horizontal velocities with independent drifter estimates at various depths (0, 15 and 1000 m) and by comparing them with existing reanalyses that are obtained through the assimilation of observations into ocean general circulation numerical models. Our estimates of the ageostrophic components of the flow improve the total horizontal velocity reconstruction, being more accurate and closer to observations than model reanalyses in the upper layers, also providing an indirect proof of the reliability of the resulting vertical velocities. The reconstructed WOC-NATL3D currents are freely available at https://doi.org/10.12770/0aa7daac-43e6-42f3-9f95-ef7da46bc702 (Buongiorno Nardelli, 2022).
Laboratory data linking the reconfiguration of and drag on individual plants to the velocity structure and wave dissipation over a meadow of salt marsh plants under waves with and without current
Authors: Zhang Xiaoxia , Nepf Heidi
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Salt marshes provide valuable ecosystem services, which are influenced by their interaction with currents and waves. On the one hand, currents and waves exert hydrodynamic forces on salt marsh plants, which shapes the distribution of species within the marsh. On the other hand, the resistance produced by the plants can shape the flow structure, turbulence intensity, and wave dissipation over the canopy. Because marsh plants are flexible structures, their reconfiguration modifies the drag felt by the plants and the flow. While several previous studies have considered the flexibility of the stem, few studies have considered the leaf component, which has been shown to contribute the majority of plant resistance. This paper reports a unique dataset that includes laboratory measurements of both the force on an individual plant and the flow structure and wave energy dissipation over a meadow of plants. In the individual plant experiment, the motion of the plant and plant drag, free-surface displacement, and velocity profile were measured. The individual plant experiments considered both a live marsh plant (Spartina alterniflora) and a mimic consisting of 10 leaves attached to a central stem. For the meadow experiment, velocity profiles were measured both upstream and within the meadow, and free-surface displacement was measured along the model marsh plant meadow with high spatial and temporal resolution. These experiments used five water depths (covering both submerged and emergent conditions), three wave periods (from long wave to short waves), seven wave heights (from linear to nonlinear waves), and six current conditions (including pure current, pure wave, and combined current and wave). In summary, there are 102 individual plant tests and 58 meadow tests. The drag, free-surface displacement, and velocity are reported in the SMCW.mat and SMCW.nc files including the raw data, the phase averages, and the statistical values. A link to the plant motion videos is also provided. This dataset provides high-quality measurements that can be used to develop and validate models of plant motion, hydrodynamic drag on individual plants, vegetation-generated turbulence, the evolution of flow structure through a meadow, and the transformation and dissipation of waves over natural salt marshes. The dataset is available from Figshare with detailed instructions for reuse (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.24117144; Zhang and Nepf, 2023a).
Flux coupling approach on an exchange grid for the IOW Earth System Model (version 1.04.00) of the Baltic Sea region
Authors: Karsten Sven , Radtke Hagen , Gröger Matthias , Ho-Hagemann Ha T. M. , Mashayekh Hossein , Neumann Thomas , Meier H. E. Markus
Published: February 2024

Abstract. In this article the development of a high-resolution Earth System Model (ESM) for the Baltic Sea region is described. In contrast to conventional coupling approaches, the presented model features an additional (technical) component, the flux calculator, which calculates fluxes between the model components on a common exchange grid. This approach naturally ensures conservation of exchanged quantities, a locally consistent treatment of the fluxes, and facilitates interchanging model components in a straightforward manner. The main purpose of this model is to downscale global reanalysis or climate model data to the Baltic Sea region as typically, global model grids are too coarse to resolve the region of interest sufficiently. The regional ESM consists of the Modular Ocean Model 5 (MOM5) for the ocean and the COSMO model in CLimate Mode (CCLM, version 5.0_clm3) for the atmosphere. The bi-directional ocean–atmosphere coupling allows for a realistic air–sea feedback that outperforms the traditional approach of using uncoupled standalone models, as typically pursued with the EURO-CORDEX protocol. In order to address marine environmental problems (e.g., eutrophication and oxygen depletion), the ocean model is internally coupled with the marine biogeochemistry model, ERGOM, set up for the Baltic Sea's hydrographic conditions. The regional ESM can be used for various scientific questions such as climate sensitivity experiments, reconstruction of ocean dynamics, study of past climates, and natural variability, as well as investigation of ocean–atmosphere interactions. Therefore, it can serve for a better understanding of natural processes via attribution experiments that relate observed changes to mechanistic causes.

While universities offer a range of services in the areas of Equity, Career Development and Academic Advising (ECDAA) to support student success, there is little understanding of how these student-facing support staff are supported to work with diverse student cohorts. This is particularly the case when working with cultural and linguistic marginalised (CALM) students such as international students, refugees or migrants. This article examines the differing levels of knowledge and experience ECDAA practitioners’ have in working with culturally and linguistically diverse students in Australian universities, and the challenges practitioners face in accessing professional development to support them in their roles. While the importance of tailoring support services to meet the needs of diverse student cohorts is recognised, our findings highlight the need to provide ongoing professional development to support practitioners in the delivery of nuanced support services to CALM students.

Transportation is one of the most important functions of logistics management because of its impact on both the level of customer service provision and the organization’s cost structure. The study explores the transportation cost optimization strategies and how they affect the supply chain performance of Shea nuts in the Agro-processing industries in Ghana. The quantitative study design was adopted and utilized to solicit data. With a sample size of 204 respondents. Data was analyzed using multiple linear regression in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v20). The results revealed interesting findings in the supply chain within the institution as it seeks to assert that transportation is seen to be effective and contribute highly to firms output when Agro companies use outsourcing and pooling as means of transport. From the results, the supply chain correlated positively and significantly with outsourcing and pooling as transport optimization practices in Agro firms supply chain. This paper adds to the existing literature on the supply chain systems of Agro processing firms but departs from previous studies which seek to concentrate not on the transport optimization of the Agro processing firms but rather on the challenges, production, and profit maximization of these firms. Our study is unique unlike any other research previously authored as it seeks to reveal the option of transport optimization that is cost effective and efficiently productive for Agro processing firms to adopt.

Literary Interpretation is Not Just About Meaning
Authors: Lamarque Peter
Published: February 2024

The paper proposes a radical change of focus for understanding the fundamental purpose and value of literary interpretation. It criticises an orthodox view in analytical philosophy of literature, according to which theories of meaning in the philosophy of language, in particular Gricean or speech act or other pragmatic theories, offer the most illuminating way to grasp the relevant principles of interpretation. The argument here is that the application of such theories in this context is not just wrong in detail (this or that theory needs revising) but wrong in principle. The focus is wrong. The importation of philosophy of language distorts the essential character of interpretation, which should be seen as involving not so much meaning as value, not individual sentences but whole works, not obsessed with authorial intention but focused on the protocols of reading.

Published: February 2024

In the pursuit of effective diabetes management, inhibiting α-amylase activity stands as a critical strategy. This inhibition regulates post-meal blood sugar levels by retarding carbohydrate digestion, mitigating abrupt glucose spikes, and enhancing glycemic control, thus safeguarding against diabetic complications. In this study, molecular docking and DFT investigations were conducted on phytochemical compounds sourced from various plants, unveiling Conanine, Friedelin, Sennoside A, and Sennoside B as promising candidates. These compounds demonstrated robust binding affinities exceeding -9 kcal/mol when targeted against α-amylase, with Conanine leading the charge at -9.5 kcal/mol. Sennoside A and Sennoside B exhibited their effectiveness by forming multiple hydrogen bonds with the enzyme, underlining their strong binding interactions. Furthermore, DFT calculations affirmed the favorable chemical reactivity profiles of these ligands, characterized by significant HOMO-LUMO energy gaps. This research offers valuable insights into potential therapeutic agents for diabetes management, promising better glycemic control and a brighter future for individuals with diabetes.
