The Humanity of Jesus Christ in Zwingli’s Theology
Authors: Drake K. J.
Published: April 2024

Scholarship on Zwingli is divided regarding the prominence of Christ’s humanity in the Swiss reformer, with scholars like W. P. Stephens arguing that Christ’s divinity overshadows his human nature and others like Gottfried Locher contending that the human nature of Christ holds a critical place in Zwingli’s thought. This article, building upon Locher, argues that the humanity of Christ serves a unifying function in Zwingli’s theology to preserve both the exclusivity of Christ’s mediation and a theocentric religion. According to Zwingli, Jesus Christ is the elect Mediator who, in his true humanity, defines the human relationship to the Triune God and brings coherence to Zwingli’s theology. As the seed of the woman, suffering sacrifice, ethical exemplar, and exalted representative, Christ qua man ensures that salvation is a divine work from creation through the eschaton to the glory of the Triune God.

Cybernetics in Kurt Vonnegut’s Player Piano
Authors: Kirubanithi G V , Raja Dr. G. Arputhavel
Published: April 2024

In Player Piano (1952), Kurt Vonnegut depicts individuals who fall prey to a dominating cybernetics system that amplifies its influence through computers, consumer culture, and the advertising sector in post-war America. The article explores the concept of cybernetics in Player Piano, which reduces people to sentient machines and mindless bodies. Player Piano is an attempt to use machine analogies to make sense of complex systems. It is difficult to depict a cosmos that is predetermined and gives humans no free will.

Analóg, ál, pót és negatív: Schütz Antal a világi vallásokról
Authors: Nyirkos Tamás
Published: April 2024

Schütz Antal Dogmatikájának 1937-es kiadásában szerepel egy rövid, de annál érdekesebb szövegrészlet, amely a kor politikai ideológiáit és egyes kulturális divatjelenségeit az úgymond „igazi” vallásokhoz való hasonlóságuk és különbségük alapján osztályozza. Ez az eljárás a korszak irodalmában egyáltalán nem ritka, maga a „világi vallás” terminusa is valamikor az első világháború utáni években jött létre az ilyen vallásszerű, de a szó szoros értelmében mégsem vallási jelenségek megnevezésére. A tanulmány egyrészt Schütz szövegének nemzetközi kontextusát vázolja fel, kitérve annak fogalmi problémáira, másrészt azt vizsgálja, hogy Schütz aprólékosabb kategóriarendszere, amely a világi vallásokat – a külföldi mintáktól eltérően – további altípusokba sorolja (analóg vallások, álvallások, pótvallások, negatív vallások) megoldja-e a fogalmi problémákat, vagy éppenséggel újabbakat vet fel.
A magyar katolicizmus hozzájárulása a világegyház küldetéséhez
Authors: Érszegi Márk Aurél
Published: April 2024

A magyarság minden korszakban bekapcsolódott a nagy egyházi mozgalmakba és vállalkozásokba zarándoklatok, missziók, segélyezések, szerzetesrendek terjeszkedése formájában. A magyar katolicizmus az egyetemes egyházat sokrétű hozzájárulásával tudta gazdagítani, hol Magyarországról kiinduló szervezett keretek közt, hol egy-egy kiemelkedő személyiség munkássága révén. A magyar hozzájárulás egyes fejezetei részlegesen feldolgozásra kerültek az utóbbi évtizedekben, ugyanakkor tanulságos egy átfogó kép felvázolása, a magyar szerepvállalás nemzetközi helyének és kontextusának illusztrálása. A kereszténység felvétele óta folyamatos volt a magyarok jelenléte a mindenkori fontosabb nemzetközi kegyhelyeken. Több városban kápolnák, zarándokházak és kollégiumok is létesültek a magyar hívek befogadására és a papság képzésére. A kereszténység nemzetmegtartó erejét a határon túli, illetve a kivándorolt magyarság még inkább megtapasztalhatta, amit az anyanyelvi vallásgyakorlás helyszínei, a magyar templomok képviselnek. A kivándorolt magyarokat több szerzetes is követte pasztorális megfontolásokból, majd a kommunizmus elől menekülve több rend kisebb-nagyobb közössége költözött külföldre, ahol gyökeret eresztve beilleszkedett a helyi egyházba. A XVIII. századtól kezdve megfigyelhető a magyar bekapcsolódás a nagy missziós mozgalomba, előbb Latin-Amerikában, majd Afrikában és Délkelet-Ázsiában is. A magyar misszionáriusok a hithirdetés mellett komoly földrajzi, természettudományos és néprajzi megfigyeléseket is végeztek, jellemzőjük volt a népek és kultúrák megismerése, megbecsülése iránti nyitottság, a kiállás a helyi lakosság érdekében akár a nagyhatalmi törekvésekkel szemben is. Főként a XX. században számos magyar egyházi személy végzett kiemelkedő tudományos munkásságot külföldi, főleg római egyházi intézményekben, vagy töltött be felelős nemzetközi pozíciókat. Különleges érdeklődésre tarthat számot a magyar egyházművészek alkotásainak jelenléte világszerte. Minden magyar emlék mögött történetek húzódnak meg, amelyek ma is nyitottak a továbbgondolásra, kapcsolatépítésre. Kutatásuk terén is sok még a tennivaló, megismerésük és értékelésük jelentős potenciált tartalmaz.
Eredendő bűn vagy theodicea? A nem-létezés antropológiai dilemmái Bethlen Miklósnál (1708)
Authors: Simon József
Published: April 2024

Mire Bethlen Miklós Önéletírásának Elöljáró beszédében a nem-létezés témájának szentelt 10. részhez ér, már igen nagy ívű gondolatmenetet vázolt fel előzetesen az ember társadalmi viselkedése, társadalmi nyelvhasználata és az ennek hátterében meghúzódó elmefilozófiai problémák tárgyalása során. Bethlen individuuma szenvedélyektől vezérelt reflektálatlan nyelvhasználóként próbálja önfenntartását megvalósítani embertársai között, és megfordítva: Bethlen társadalma a psziché reflektálatlan szintjén tárja az egyes ember elé normatív elvárásait és tiltásait. A 10. fejezetben az elmefilozófiai redukcióra hajló Bethlen kísérletet tesz annak a kérdésnek a bemutatására, hogy a nem-létezés, a semmi tekinthető-e antropológiai mozzanatnak. Minthogy Bethlen meggyőződése szerint (1) a semminek nem adható meg a tökéletes létező negációjaként elgondolt metafizikai tartalma, viszont (2) a semmi legfeljebb tartalom nélküli határfogalomként lép elő az elme ama operációjában, melynek során végtelen módon képes osztani bármely mentális egységet, így az antropológiai semmi-fogalom filozófiai szempontból kezelhetetlennek tűnik. Ezzel Bethlen egyfelől eltávolodik a negyedik elmélkedés Descartes-jának platonizáló tendenciájától, másfelől a semmi antropológiai mozzanatát az eredendő bűn teológiai koncepciójában lokalizálja. A tanulmány tézise szerint ez bizonyos feszültséget okoz az Elöljáró beszéd más téziseire vonatkozóan.

Authors: Çavuşlu Kerem
Published: April 2024

Şeyh Safiyüddin’in Erdebil merkezli tarikatı, önceleri dinî bir hareket olarak faaliyetlerini yürütürken, zaman içerisinde siyasallaşarak devlete dönüşmüştür. İlhanlılar devletinin yakılmasına bağlı olarak bölgede ortaya çıkan siyasal istikrarsızlık Erdebil tarikatı şeyhlerini siyasal yapılanmaya dönük adımlar atmaya mecbur bırakmıştır. Bölgede ortaya çıkan siyasal yönetimler arasında denge politikası izlemeye çalışan tarikat şeyhleri, zaman içerisinde siyasî ve askerî bir yapılanmaya yönelik politikalar izlemeye başlarlar.
Şeyh Sadreddîn ile başlayan siyasallaşma süreci, ondan sonra gelen Hoca Ali ve İbrahim ile birlikte daha da hızlanmaya başlar. Şeyh Safiyüddîn ve Şeyh Sadreddîn devrinde tarikatın mezhebi Sünnilik iken Hoca Ali ve İbrahim ile birlikte Şii mezhebine doğru bir kayma başlar. Şeyh Cüneyd ile birlikte mezhebi kimlik değişikliğine giden tarikat, Şiilik mezhebini resmi dini görüş olarak benimser. Şeyh Cüneyd ve oğlu Haydar’ın siyasî ve askerî alanlarda yapmış oldukları icraatlar, Akkoyunlu devletinin yıkılmasının ardından tarikatın devlete dönüşmesine zemin hazırlar.
Şeyh İsmail’in Akkoyunlu devletine son verip Tebriz merkezli Safevî devletini kurmasıyla birlikte tarikatın siyasallaşma ve kurumsallaşma süreci tamamlanmış olur. Bu tarihten sonra dinî bir hareket olan Erdebil tarikatı Safevî devletine dönüşürken, tarikatın şeyhleri de şah unvanı ile bu devleti yönetmeye başlarlar.

Quantitative accounting of microorganisms was carried out by seeding on nutrient media selected in accordance with their type. Thus, we have explored some features of development of pathogenic complex of microscopic fungi in soils of beet-growing farms in Almaty and Zhambyl regions. Soil microbial communities in two areas are represented by microorganisms such as bacteria genera: Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Mycobacterium, Mycococcus, Pseudobacterium, Lactobacterium. It is shown that Bacillus and Pseudomona prevail in soil samples. It is established that the dominant species of microorganisms are fungi genera: Fusarium, Alternaria, Penicillium which are a part of pathogenic complex that cause root decay. On the basis of the obtained data, a protective and stimulating composition for reducing the incidence of sugar beet seeds before sowing will be developed in soil samples No. 1-No. 4 of Almaty. The Fusarium genus prevailed in the Almaty Region, and Botrytis prevailed in the Zhambyl Region.

The main reasons for production of coal briquettes with air channels are based on changing the diffusion flows of the oxidizer and increasing the number of volatile. The yield of volatile substances, in turn, depends on the amount of water, which, as it evaporates, can significantly increase the amount of volatile substances. Coal briquettes made of substandard coal with binders have been studied. Visual observations after the addition of starch showed the level of coating of the briquette. In particular, an increase in the amount of starch up to 50% in the composition of the coal briquette allowed the binder to go deeper into the porous surface and fill new pore spaces in the coal mass. Thus, it follows from the above results that heat-treated briquettes with a new binder significantly exceed the requirements of consumer standards for household briquette fuel on the domestic and foreign markets in terms of mechanical strength and weather resistance.

Authors: Shi Junhao , Pu Junxia , Zhou Lv , Shan Jie , Zhang Yeni , Deng Yibin
Published: April 2024

Background: The research evidence suggests that dysregulated circRNAs are closely associated with the progression of HCC and can serve as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for HCC. However, the status of differentially expressed circRNAs in HCC cancerous tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues remains unclear. Methods: Firstly, circRNA-Seq was employed to screen for dysregulated circRNAs in HCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Secondly, differential expression of circRNAs in the GSE97332 dataset was identified using bioinformatics methods. Lastly, the intersection of circRNAs that were upregulated or downregulated in both the circRNA-Seq data and the GSE97332 dataset was taken. Results:The results of the circRNA-Seq showed that there are a total of 2477 differentially expressed circRNAs between HCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues, with 1567 upregulated and 910 downregulated. We identified 869 differentially expressed circRNAs in the GSE97332 dataset, with 421 upregulated and 448 downregulated. Additionally, we took the intersection of circRNAs that were upregulated or downregulated in both the circRNA-seq dataset and the GSE97332 dataset, ultimately obtaining 13 and 6 circRNAs, respectively. Conclusion: This study identified dysregulated circRNAs in HCC through circRNA-seq and analysis of the dataset GSE97332, which offer new options for the discovery of diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for HCC.
Uncovering Molecular Mechanisms of Mechanical Force Stimulation on Bone Tissue: A Bioinformatics Approach
Authors: Li Yiting , He Zunian , Li Jiaming , Li Hang , Yang Chengliang
Published: April 2024

This study employed multiple bioinformatics approaches to uncover the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of mechanical force stimulation on bone tissue. RNA sequencing data from 132 cortical bone samples were initially retrieved from the SRA database and subjected to quality control, sequence alignment, and expression matrix generation as preprocessing steps. Subsequently, WGCNA was applied for gene co-expression network analysis, followed by the selection of approximately 3,500 genes for further investigation and the exclusion of outliers. Clustering and correlation analyses revealed sets of genes highly associated with mechanical force stimulation. To gain insight into the functional characteristics of these genes, PPI network construction and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed. Results indicated distinct functional properties of different modules under various conditions. For instance, genes within the MEsalmon module were mainly associated with actin cytoskeleton and calmodulin in response to mechanical force stimulation; whereas genes within the MEbrown module, when considering growth plates and other skeletal regions, primarily involved ribosomal proteins and energy metabolism. With prolonged treatment time, genes within the MEblack module exhibited increased energy metabolic activity. These findings suggest that mechanical force stimulation can alter the expression levels of specific genes in bone tissue, thereby affecting their biological functions. This study provides a new perspective on how mechanical force stimulation regulates bone tissue and may have positive implications for therapeutic strategies in fracture healing and bone diseases.
Discuss and Envision the Immunotherapy Potential based on NK Cell to Treat COVID-19
Authors: Meng Jinhan
Published: April 2024

Corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19), caused by SARS-COV-2, has posed a tremendous threat to humans and public health worldwide. When faced with viral infection, our immune systems need to achieve a precise balance to eliminate the pathogen. In most cases, however, this balance is disturbed and then further distorted by viral infection. As an indispensable part in innate immune system, NK cells play a pivotal role in immune defense, immune surveillance, and immune homeostasis. Furthermore, NK cells showcase an effective capability of lysing virally infected cells and regulating immune responses. It has been demonstrated that COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms manifest a reduction in NK cell number as well as its function, which contributes to decreased clearance of infected cells. Restoration of NK cells have the potential to calibrate this delicate balance entailed to eliminate SARS-COV-2 infection. Based on current clinical studies, the immunopathologies of COVID-19 patients are summarized in this article. In addition, NK cell immune responses to COVID-19, factors concerning the immune responses of NK cell, and relevant feasible immunotherapies are also reviewed.

Firstly, the distribution of tumor infiltrating immune cells and the expression of key immune molecules were described in detail by collecting renal clear cell tumor samples and using flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and other technical means. Subsequently, in vitro and in vivo experiments of immunotherapy were designed and implemented to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of different immunotherapy strategies. The experimental results show that the immune microenvironment of renal clear cell tumor presents unique characteristics, including the infiltration mode of immune cells and the expression profile of immune molecules. Both in vitro and in vivo immunotherapy experiments show that some immunotherapy strategies can effectively inhibit the growth of renal clear cell tumor and prolong the survival time of animal models. Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that the immune microenvironment of renal clear cell tumor plays a key role in tumor progression and immunotherapy response. A deep understanding of the characteristics and regulation mechanism of immune microenvironment is helpful to develop more effective immunotherapy strategies.

Authors: Zhang Lu
Published: April 2024

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of sinus tarsi incision and traditional operation in the treatment of calcaneal fractures. Methods A total of 46 patients with calcaneal fracture admitted to Jianli People's Hospital from June 2020 to January 2022 were included, including 37 males and 9 females. 23 patients in the control group were treated with "L" incision, and 23 patients in the experimental group were treated with tarsal sinus incision. The length of hospitalization, operation time an, surgical incision length, grainage volume, complication of the two groups were recorded respectively. The results of Bohler Angle and Gissane Angle were measured before and after operation. Results The operation time of the test group is shorter than that of the control group. Compared with the operation time of the two groups, the difference is statistically significant (P<0.01). The postoperative drainage flow of the test group is less than that of the control group. The contrast difference between the two groups in the operation area is statistically significant (P<0.01), and the length of the surgical incision in the test group is shorter than that of the control group. The length of the surgical incision is statistically significant compared with the length of the two groups (P<0.01). The number of days of hospitalization in the test group is shorter than the number of days in the control group, but there is no statistical significance (P>0.05). The patient's pre-operative Bohler angle measurement result and the Gissane angle measurement knot. The difference has no statistical significance (P>0.05). Bohler Angle in both control group and experimental group was significantly higher after surgery than before surgery (P < 0.01), and Gissane Angle was significantly lower after surgery than before surgery (P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in Bohler Angle and Gissane Angle between the two groups before and after surgery (P > 0.05). The complication rate of control group was higher than that of experimental group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.357, P > 0.05). Conclusion For Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures, the "L" incision is like the sinus tarsi incision. However, the incision of tarsal sinus has the advantages of small trauma, short operation time and good recovery of patients.

Introduction:

Web-based resources serve as a fundamental educational platform for orthopaedic trauma patients; however, they are frequently written above the recommended sixth-grade reading level, and previous studies have demonstrated this for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) web-based articles. In this study, we perform an updated assessment of the readability of AAOS trauma-related educational articles as compared with injury-matched education materials developed by the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA).

Methods:

All 46 AAOS trauma-related web-based (https://www.orthoinfo.org/) patient education articles were analyzed for readability. Two independent reviewers used (1) the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) and (2) the Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) algorithms to calculate the readability level. Mean readability scores were compared across body part categories. A one-sample t-test was done to compare mean FKGL with the recommended sixth-grade readability level and the average American adult reading level. A two-sample t-test was used to compare the readability scores of the AAOS trauma-related articles with those of the OTA.

Results:

The average (SD) FKGL and FRE for the AAOS articles were 8.9 (0.74) and 57.2 (5.8), respectively. All articles were written above the sixth-grade reading level. The average readability of the AAOS articles was significantly greater than the recommended sixth-grade reading level (P < 0.001). The average FKGL and FRE for all AAOS articles were significantly higher compared with those of the OTA articles (8.9 ± 0.74 versus 8.1 ± 1.14, P < 0.001 and 57.2 ± 5.8 versus 65.6 ± 6.6, P < 0.001, respectively). Excellent agreement was observed between raters for the FKGL 0.956 (95% confidence interval, 0.922 to 0.975) and FRE 0.993 (95% confidence interval, 0.987 to 0.996).

Discussion:

Our findings suggest that after almost a decade, the readability of the AAOS trauma-related articles remains unchanged. The AAOS and OTA trauma patient education materials have high readability levels and may be too difficult for patient comprehension. A need remains to improve the readability of these commonly used trauma education materials.

This research investigates the dynamics between the attributes (both personal and professional), emotional intelligence, and the leadership effectiveness of leaders in industrial education at higher education institutions in Region I, using a descriptive-correlational approach. By employing standardized tools for data collection and a scoring system that mitigates bias through reverse coding and random distribution of items, the study aims to uncover correlations between various aspects of leadership in industrial education. Specifically, it evaluates the interrelations among leaders’ attributes, emotional intelligence, and perceived leadership effectiveness from the perspectives of both the leaders themselves and their faculty members. The analysis, leveraging statistical methods like frequency counts, percentages, and correlation coefficients, unveils that the majority of industrial education leaders and faculty members possess distinctive demographic and professional profiles. The findings indicate high levels of emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness among leaders but suggest that their personal or professional attributes do not significantly influence these aspects. Furthermore, faculty members’ perceptions of leadership effectiveness are significantly shaped by their academic rank and their institutions’ program accreditation status, whereas the impact of leaders’ emotional intelligence on their leadership effectiveness is not pronounced. Keywords: industrial education, emotional intelligence, leadership effectiveness, descriptive-correlational, Philippines

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is life-threatening to vulnerable populations, and has been reported to be associated with depression. Nigeria is one of the countries with a high TB burden, and with the current economic hardship in Nigeria, people are becoming poorer suggesting more TB patients are more likely to elapse into depression. The aim of this research was to assess the prevalence, patterns and peculiarities of depression among TB patients attending Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) centers in Lagos State, Nigeria. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted among 301 TB patients at 8 DOTS centers in Lagos State, Nigeria using a two-stage sampling method. Data was collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires to elicit responses from the TB patients. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to determine and assess depression. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, with the Chi-square test being used to check for the association between socio-demographic characteristics and depression among the respondents. Mean age of the respondents was 35.1±11.7 years. A majority (71.8%) of the respondents were males, 69.1% were Christians, Yorubas were most (52.2%), 88.4% earned ≤N150,000 monthly, and only 1 respondent had no formal education. The prevalence rate of depression among the TB patients was 51.8%. Socio-demographic characteristics like gender (females were more affected), low financial status, and low educational level were associated with depression (p<0.05); unlike age, marital status, ethnicity, employment status, and family setting (p>0.05). Depression among TB patients is real as one in every two TB patients is depressed. Therefore, healthcare workers at DOTS centers should pay adequate attention to signs of depression among their patients.
