¿Fue Jesús el Mesías esperado? Pues no y sí
Authors: Delgado Gómez Alfredo
Published: November 2023

Este artículo aborda cómo Jesús acabó siendo considerado mesías cuando su actuación y enseñanza no se corresponden con las expectativas que se pueden recuperar de los textos en los que encontramos definida a esta figura. El judaísmo del segundo templo fue extremadamente complejo y convivían diferentes expectativas escatológicas, una de las cuales fue la esperanza en un mesías. La dificultad surge al tratar de perfilar una imagen definida del mesías, dada la escasez y disparidad de las fuentes. El proceso, por el que Jesús llegó a ser considerado el mesías, parte de cómo la causa de la condena como “rey de los judíos” fue interpretada desde su resurrección como confesión de fe: “Jesús es el mesías”, aunque para ello sus discípulos tuvieron que reelaborar el significado del término mesías.

Published: November 2023

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the best therapeutic options to treat pain, but their use is restricted by their adverse effects. In this study, the pharmacological profile of ibuprofen and dexibuprofen was evaluated using the murine acetic acid writhing test, and the participation of naltrexone, naltrindole, nor-binaltorphimine, L-NAME, risperidone, and tropisetron in the antinociceptive efficacy. Antinociception was assessed by dose–response curves to ibuprofen and dexibuprofen before and after the i.p. administration of 1,0 mg/kg of naltrexone, or naltrindole, or norbinaltorphimine, or 5 mg/kg of L-NAME, 0,5 mg/kg of risperidone, or tropisetron in the murine assay. Results are presented as means ± SEM and differences calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-test. Ibuprofen and dexibuprofen produced a dose-dependent antinociceptive effect with different potency. After pretreatment of mice with naltrexone, naltrindole, nor-binaltorphimine, L-NAME, risperidone, or tropisetron, a significant increase in ibuprofen efficacy was obtained, however, no effect on dexibuprofen activity was obtained. Data demonstrate that ibuprofen and dexibuprofen induce effective antinociception in the acetic acid writhing test, either directly, through COX inhibition, or indirectly, through the modulatory effects of opioid or serotonin, or nitric oxide receptors. These actions are complex since the effects depending on the chemical structure of the NSAID. Thus, a racemic compound (ibuprofen) induces a significant increase in nociceptive efficacy. However, they have no effect on the dextrorotatory enantiomer (dexibuprofen).
Inheritance of power in the 21st century: legal mechanisms for the transfer of presidential powers to controlled viceroys and family members in authoritarian regimes
Authors: Spytska Liana
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the prevalence of presidential clans in authoritarian regimes, particularly in Central Asian countries, and their impact on political processes and power transitions. Different methodological approaches were used to study the role of the president, differentiate between authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, and analyze post-Soviet clan communities. The research found that the governmental form influences the president's functions and powers, and that institutional reforms and elections in authoritarian regimes often serve to legitimize elite agreements. The study also examined power transitions in post-Soviet Central Asia, noting the importance of informal agreements and historical traditions in maintaining balance of power. However, it was revealed that the practice of transferring power within presidential clans hinders modern political processes and state development. The experience of power transitions in countries like Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan were considered, each exhibiting unique risks and advantages related to succession or dynastic inheritance. It was found that the elites of the post-Soviet republics operate based on traditions and historically formed the mechanism of power, which has become a key aspect in determining the balance of power. The practical value of the identified results is to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the transit of power, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Published: November 2023

Este artigo trata das disputas entre os poderes Executivo e Legislativo que levaram à dissolução da Assembleia Constituinte de 1823, logo nos primeiros dias do Brasil Independente. A experiência traumática, que resultou na prisão e exílio de figuras centrais como José Bonifácio, Francisco Montezuma e Antônio Carlos de Andrada, não foi devidamente abordada pela historiografia do direito, figurando como episódio menor. No artigo abordamos os embates teóricos sobre o locus no qual a soberania popular estava depositada e as contendas para definir as prerrogativas de cada poder. Para tanto, analisamos a aclamação de Pedro I, as implicações constitucionais do título que lhe foi atribuído e as diferenças entre o texto que vinha sendo discutido pelos constituintes de 1823 e o texto outorgado pelo Imperador em março de 1824.

Published: November 2023

Los regímenes del Seguro Social son beneficios que disfrutan a futuro las personas que cotizan durante años de trabajo. Este tema es aún controversial debido a que, en su mayoría, los colaboradores de las MIPYMES creen que cotizar al seguro es un gasto innecesario y que ese dinero lo podrían destinar para otros usos. Por ello el objetivo de este artículo es identificar factores que están incidiendo tanto en los colaboradores como en los propietarios de talleres automotrices de Juigalpa, departamento de Chontales, y que los lleva a minimizar la importancia de afiliarse al seguro social. La metodología utilizada fue el uso de bases conceptuales, definición de muestra en los talleres automotrices, mediante encuestas, análisis de resultados que demuestran que hay conocimiento de los tipos de beneficios de la seguridad social; sin embargo, prefieren hacer uso de los servicios de salud públicos quedando expuestos a los accidentes laborales. Estos resultados conllevan sugerir a otros investigadores, profundizar el análisis desde otros factores, como el clima laboral, demostración estadística de los gastos, cumplimiento de la normativa de ley en el país.
Composite sustainability index for online and distance education
Authors: Harizan Siti Haslina Md , Shah Syed Afzal Moshadi
Published: November 2023

The surge in internet usage and the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic have emphasized the significance of online and distance education. However, there is a scarcity of scholarly research on the sustainability of initiatives implemented through these modalities, and the existing measurement methodologies for sustainability are not well suited to this particular context. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between sustainability and the performance of online and distance education and proposes a composite sustainability index to assess these programmes. The methodology for constructing this index follows the stages outlined by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and employs both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative techniques involve interviews conducted with a group of field experts in order to ascertain the prioritization of indicators. Data from these interviews is used to identify key indicators for further prioritization. The application of quantitative analysis involves the characterization of participants and the execution of calculations for finalizing, weighting, normalizing, and aggregating indicators, resulting in the creation of the composite sustainability index. This mixed-method approach is consistently applied throughout the index development process. The study yields a comprehensive sustainability index that assesses online and remote education programmes. It identifies 15 sustainability criteria corresponding to key sustainability dimensions and quality deployment pillars. The practical implications of these indices hold great significance, as they can provide valuable guidance to strategic decision-makers in enhancing current offers and shaping future policies and resource allocations for programmes delivered through online and distance education methods.

Published: November 2023

From youth to adulthood, men who have sex with men (MSM) experience a variety of challenges, including anxiety and depression. Their challenges are aggravated by their mental health condition, as they frequently suffer from depression, and yet they need to make informed decisions regarding their health without any limitation on access to health services. This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design using a quantitative approach. A sample of N=221 MSM aged 18-44 years old was recruited using a respondent-driven sampling technique (RDST). A structured, anonymous questionnaire was used to assess the mental health of the MSM. The online questionnaire data was entered into Excel and imported into Stata version 13.0 for analysis. The response rate was 92%. The findings of our study indicate that 46.61% of the respondents had mild to severe depression, while 53.39% did not experience depression. Contributing factors that lead the MSM to experience depression include their loss of respect in the community because they are MSM (p = 0.069), their families feeling ashamed of them (p = 0.068), and their experience of physical abuse (p = 0.006). Not being treated like other people in the health facility and in the community contributes to their not feeling that they belong (p = 0.250). The findings suggest that young MSM are at risk of developing depression and of being infected with HIV. The need has arisen to get more MSM to access health services and psychological support, since they are the most vulnerable key population.

To explore the relationship and mechanisms of outdoor training, self-efficacy, and professional competitiveness. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 120 college students who received outdoor expansion training for eight days and seven nights in Panlong Grand View Garden of Xiangtan City through the self-efficacy and professional competitive strength scales. The relationship between outdoor development training, self-efficacy, and professional competitiveness is statistically significant (r = 0.736, 0.821, 0.873, P < 0.01). Self-efficacy mediates outdoor training and professional competitiveness, with a mediation effect value of (0.339-0.537). Outdoor development training can directly affect professional competitiveness through self-efficacy. This study only takes the students of Hunan University of Science and Technology as the research object, and the representativeness of the student group needs to be improved. The questionnaire survey results are biased. The findings emphasize the value of outdoor development training. It is proven that outdoor development training not only has a direct impact on professional competitiveness but also has an indirect impact on professional competitiveness through self-efficacy. This study not only verifies the relationship between outdoor development training and professional competitiveness but also reveals the inner psychological mechanism of the influence of outdoor development training on professional competitiveness. Therefore, the results of this study can provide a theoretical basis for promoting college students' professional competitiveness.

Material constraints enabling human cognition

Compared to our closest living relatives, who typically use fewer than 100 words, humans can build vocabularies of tens of hundreds of thousands of words. The ERC-funded Advanced Grant project ‘Material Constraints enabling Human Cognition’, or ‘MatCo’,  will find out why. It will use novel insights from human neurobiology. These will be translated into mathematically exact computational models to find new answers to long-standing questions in cognitive science, linguistics and philosophy. The project will also explore how semantic meaning is implemented for gestures and words and, more specifically, for referential and categorical terms. To identify human cognitive capacities, MatCo will develop models replicating structural differences between human and non-human primate brains. The results will shed light on the biologically constrained networks.

Szent Pál vagy Nagyboldogasszony?
Authors: Tóth Tamás
Published: November 2023

A középkorral foglalkozó szakirodalom szilárdan úgy tartja, hogy a bácsi mellett ugyancsak Szent Pál apostol volt a kalocsai főszékesegyház, egyben a kalocsai főszékeskáptalan védőszentje is. Középkori oklevelek hivatkoznak a kalocsai (nagyobb) Szent Pál-egyházra. Ennek ellenére az újkori dokumentumok sehol nem tesznek említést Szent Pál-templomról vagy annak romjairól Kalocsa városában, viszont szólnak az akkor már romokban heverő kalocsai Nagyboldogasszony-főszékesegyházról. Nehezen elképzelhető, hogy az ország egyik legfontosabb templomának, a kalocsai érseki egyháznak a védőszentje az újkorra ennyire gyorsan és ennyire nyomtalanul eltűnt volna, ráadásul a katedrális tájolása is beszédes jel marad. Lehetséges megoldás, hogy a kalocsai érseki székesegyháznak Nagyboldogasszony mellett Szent Pál apostol is valamikor védőszentjévé lett. Megfontolandó tehát az az elmélet, mely szerint Szent Pál patronátusa egyedisége és a bácsi kötődés miatt egy időben Kalocsán annak ellenére nagyobb hangsúlyt kapott, hogy ott a főszékesegyház eredetileg a Mennyekbe felvett Boldogságos Szűz Mária tiszteletére épült fel.

Published: November 2023

Although emotional intelligence has been linked to employee engagement in the private sector, there is very little research regarding public sector employees. This study explores how emotional intelligence influences work engagement with work-related psychological impact acting as a moderator. The study adopts the cognitive–motivational–relational theory of emotions, which has a minimal research focus in developing countries. Using stratified random sampling, a self-designed questionnaire and interviews, data was gathered from public servants and analysed. The results showed that Emotional Intelligence (emotional management, emotional evaluation and emotional control) positively influences work engagement. Also, emotional management had the highest (positive) impact on work engagement among the three variables. Additionally, it was discovered that the psychological needs at the workplace negatively moderated emotions having positive effect on work engagement. Therefore, employees are encouraged to utilise their emotions to positively influence work engagement and reduce work-related psychological issues and reduce its negative effect on work engagement. Further, work-related psychological impact moderated the relationship between emotional intelligence and work engagement in this study. Theoretically, the use of the cognitive–motivational–relational in developing countries with regard to public sector frontline employees during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is unique.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: Cryopreservation of porcine oocytes is difficult compared with other species and immature oocytes particularly so compared to the meiotic stage. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of a pretreatment with 1μ M paclitaxel (PTX, 30 min exposure) before vitrification
to promote the maturation of porcine immature oocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cumulus cell-enclosed oocytes (COs) aspirated from porcine ovaries were divided into three groups: i) nonpretreated with PTX and non-vitrified group (control group); ii) pretreated with PTX and vitrified
group (PTX-V group); and iii) non-pretreated with PTX and vitrified group (nPTX-V group). RESULTS: The nuclear maturation rate up to the preovulatory stage was significantly lower (P<0.05) in the nPTX-V group than in the control group, but was similar in the PTX-V and control groups.
No significant differences were observed in viability assessed by a normal CO morphology and the embryonic development of oocytes activated by the parthenogenetic stimulation between the PTX-V and control groups, but not the non-PTX-V group. CONCLUSION: PTX may promote the maturation
of vitrified porcine immature oocytes.

Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’de Kırâat ve İ‘râb Farklılığına Dair Bir İnceleme

Kur’ân-ı Kerîm, Arap diliyle ilgili kuralların tatbik ve tezahür sahalarından bir tanesidir. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm inmeden önce Arap toplumu selikalarına göre bir dile sahip olduklarından dillerine mi’yar kabul edecekleri bir kaynak veya kural oluşturma ihtiyaçları yoktu. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm indikten sonra farklı milletler İslam dinini benimsemiş ve dinin kaynaklarını öğrenme ve öğretme ihtiyacı hasıl olmuştur. İslam dinini benimseyen yeni topluluklar, Kur’ân-ı Kerîm okurken birtakım hatalar yapmaya başlamışlardır. Asli kaynakların başında gelen Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in yanlış okunması durumu yaygınlaşınca bir grup âlim, Kur’ân-ı Kerîm ve ilimlerinin Arap diliyle olan sıkı bağından ötürü bu konuda kaynak sayılan müstakil eserler kaleme almış ve bu sayede hem dili koruma görevini ifa etmiş hem de İslâm’a hizmet yolunda önemli bir çaba ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu çabaların bir sonucu olarak Arap diliyle ilgili ilimler ortaya çıkmıştır. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’in farklı okuyuş biçimlerini inceleyen kırâat ilmi ve âyetlerin okuma şekillerini irdelerken cümlenin gramatik yapısını ele alan i‘râb ilmi de bu gayretler sonucunda ortaya çıkan ilimlerdendir. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’deki âyetlerin farklı okunmasını konu alan kırâat ilmi, âyetlerin farklı şekillerdeki kırâati için belirli kurallar ortaya koymuştur. Cümledeki gramatik farklılığı ele alan i‘râb ilmi de başta Arap dilinin sahip olduğu özellikler ve diğer birtakım faktörlerden dolayı meydana gelen cümle yapısındaki değişikliği ele almakta ve bunun imkânını konu edinmektedir. Kırâatlerin çokluğu aynı zamanda Yüce Allah’nın rahmetinin bir tezahürüdür. Kırâatler çeşitli olmasına rağmen hangi kırâatin kabul edilip hangisinin reddedileceği meselesi de yine bir ölçüye bağlanmış ve tercih işleminin rastgele yapılan bir işlem olmadığı delilleriyle ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çalışmada öncelikle kırâat kavramının tanımı verilmiş ve herhangi bir kırâatin kabul edilmesinin şartları ve kırâat çeşitleri gibi konular ele alınmıştır. Ardından Arap dilinin bir özelliği olarak i‘râb çeşitliliği konusu ele alınarak Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’de var olan i‘râb farklılıklarının sebepleri üzerinde durulmaya çalışılmıştır.
