Authors: Das Satadal , Chatterjee Debasmita , Singh Banhishikha , Kumar Pradhan Ashoke , Paira Krishnendu , Das Satadal
Published: July 2022

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer with high incidence rate, and 5-year survival rate in HCC is less than 20%. Thus, in search of newer anticancer agents effective in HCC, we have explored possible usefulness of an alternative medicine Lycopodium against the human liver cancer cell line, HepG2 along with its clinical efficacy. The HepG2 cell line was challenged with Lycopodium 6C (diluted Lycopodium <1pg /mL available as alternative medicine) along with vehicle alcohol control in 24 hours. The cytopathic effect and viability test with methylene blue stain were observed. The cells were harvested for total RNA extraction, and gene expression levels of targeted cytokines -Interferon gamma (IFN γ); Interleukins - IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1β, Transforming Growth Factor- TGF-β1, TGF-β3 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) by RT-PCR were studied. DNA fragmentation assay and cell viability assay by MTT method were also tested. After ethical permission we applied this medicine as adjunct therapy to observe any beneficial role of the medicine. Statistically significant changes of IL-10, IL-1β and TGF-β3 were observed after challenge with Lycopodium 6C. The IL-10 gene expression in malignant cells was significantly reduced with Lycopodium 6C; however, the expression is more with vehicle alcohol compared to normal control set. Thus, the medicine could decrease the excessive IL-10 gene expression to a moderate level. IL-1β and TGF-β3 gene up-regulation by the vehicle alcohol were also mitigated by the medicine Lycopodium 6C. Mild DNA fragmentation was also seen in cancer cells after challenge with the medicine. Two cases suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma showed much clinical improvement after therapy with this medicine. Lycopodium 6C may act as a supporting alternative medication for treating HCC.

Published: July 2022

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is a lymphohematopoietic cancer of follicular origin and diffuse growth. It is a rare small B-cell lymphoma, with an incidence of 7-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas, affecting adults (55-60 years), of which 80% are typically male. According to the World Health Organization guidelines, the diagnosis of MCL should be established based on morphological examination and immunophenotyping with detection of cyclin D1 resulting from the chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) of the CCND1 gene or SOX11 protein overexpression. Herein we present an infrequent clinical case of a female patient with MCL who presented erythroderma as a paraneoplastic cutaneous disorder. Moreover, we delved into the molecular insights of immune B-cell lymphocytic affections in this communication.

Authors: Cialente Fabrizio , Zoccali Federica , Pelle Giuseppe , Cialente Fabrizio , Martellucci Salvatore
Published: July 2022

The prevalence of aberrant internal carotid artery (ICA) in the middle ear is very low. It represents a potentially life-threatening anatomical variation that requires an accurate diagnosis to prevent catastrophic complications such as massive hemorrhage during otologic procedures. Tomography and magnetic resonance could be very useful to identify this rare entity and to avoid its complications. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented to our Ear, Nose and Throat department with persistent unilateral pulsatile tinnitus. An aberrant ICA in the tympanic cavity is a rare and particularly dangerous condition. Otolaryngologists must always consider the possibility of severe or fatal hemorrhage, so accurate pre- operative radiologic investigations are recommended before each middle-ear surgical intervention.
Discordance of HER2 Positive Classic Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Between IHC/FISH and Oncotype DX: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Mon Khin Su , Mon Khin Su , Wheeler Anthony , S. Lo Shelly , Tang Ping
Published: July 2022

The classical-type of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) usually expresses high levels of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) and does not over-express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and has a low level of expression of the proliferative marker. Their prognosis is comparable with those of histologic grade 1-2 invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC). HER2 status is prognostically significant and has a huge impact on clinical management; thus, its correct testing and evaluation are critical. Discordant results for HER2 between immunohistochemistry (IHC)/fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Oncotype DX (ODX) testing can be occasionally seen and cause confusion among clinicians. Here, we present a case of classical ILC (cILC), which was HER2 positive by IHC/FISH but negative by ODX. We also review relevant literature and provide a possible explanation for this discordancy and suggestions on how to approach the discordant results and guide the clinical management.

Authors: Gadiyaram Srikanth , Gadiyaram Srikanth , Nachiappan Murugappan
Published: July 2022

Background: Post-hysterectomy recto-vaginal fistula (PH-RVF) is a condition where abnormal communication develops between the healing vaginal vault and the rectum secondary to an iatrogenic surgical insult. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentation, work-up, management, and outcomes of patients with PH-RVF.
Methods: Patients who underwent repair from January 2006 to December 2020 were analysed. The data was obtained retrospectively from a prospectively maintained database.
Results: Five patients formed part of the study. All patients presented with faecal peritonitis required a faecal diversion. The mean distance of the fistula was 9.4 cm from the anal verge. Multi-detector CT with rectal contrast delineated the fistula in all. There were no associated fistulae. Laparoscopic repair was undertaken at a median of 12 weeks after faecal diversion. The average blood loss and mean operative time were 66 mL and 176 minutes, respectively. Tissue interposition was done in three patients. There was no major morbidity. The median hospital stay was five days. Four patients had successful repairs. A recurrence was managed with a laparotomy, fistula takedown, and rectus abdominis interposition. Bowel continuity was restored 10 weeks (mean duration) after definitive repair. At a median follow-up of 114 months, none had vaginal discharge, urinary tract infections, or complaints regarding sexual function.
Conclusion: PH-RVF, a particular subset of high recto-vaginal fistula, is a complex fistula. Faecal diversion is required early in the course of management. With adequate planning, laparoscopic primary closure with or without tissue buttress is feasible, safe, and has a favourable long-term outcome.

Authors: Sihotang Parulian , Effendi Subagio
Published: July 2022

Sustainability Reporting has been used quite extensively in communicating company accountability towards its broad-based stakeholders. The report, widely known as the triple bottom line (TBL) report, discloses three performance indicators of any company: economic, social and environmental performance. Social and environmental performance are usually understood as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This article will investigate how Sustainability Reporting principles developed by the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) have been implemented by the oil and gas industry in order to stimulate and enhance CSR practices and disclosures. GRI-based sustainability reporting is currently the most recognized reporting principles implemented by various industries worldwide. Content analysis on selected Sustainability Reporting of selected international oil companies will be conducted to identify the extent to which their CSR practices and disclosures have been in line with GRI principles. Furthermore, this research will explore whether CSR reporting applied by international oil multinationals could be implemented in developing countries such as Indonesia. Finally, it is expected that this exploratory research will be able to introduce and develop the Indonesian principles on CSR disclosures using GRI-based Sustainability Reporting published by the oil and gas companies operating in Indonesia.

During this period of economic growth increased, the unemployment rate declined, so did the level of poverty, but not so with income inequality figures. Menurunannya poverty level has not kept pace with the inequality. Both rural and urban areas, the poverty rate showed a declining trend, but inequality has increased. National development priorities need to pay attention to regions/ provinces that have high levels of poverty and high inequality and low per capita income and slow growth. This area is not a priority when development will potentially social disparities and the potential conflict that would ultimately hamper growth. Indonesia as an agricultural country, the average growth of the agricultural sector has always been below GDP growth, and the growth of a more unstable. Contribution of agriculture to GDP is also declining. The poor are mostly in the agricultural sector, and labor also largely absorbed in agriculture, should receive priority. Agricultural growth will be able to reduce the level of poverty, employment and reducing inequalities, particularly in rural Indonesia.

Authors: Budiarso Adi
Published: July 2022

One tool used for strategic performance management in the public sector organisations is the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach. The BSC can assist the definition of comprehensive strategic objectives, better key performance indicators and improved organisational performance outcomes. The BSC system not only promotes synergy and alignment of strategies among that of departmental and functional units, but also it promotes strategic communication for decision-makers to sustain high organisational performance outcomes. Based on the leadership accountability framework as a means to analyse the process of improving and sustaining public sector performance outcomes, this study also found that four key elements contributed to the successful implementation of the BSC to improve and sustain public sector performance: leadership effectiveness, strategy and HRM "fit' management, balanced performance management system and performance governance. Moreover, the research supported the hypothesis that strategic leadership is a necessary condition for the implementation of new and complex performance management tools in the Indonesian public service and for sustaining the performance improvements created by tools such as the BSC.
INCOME INEQUALITY: EDUCATION AS THE PANACEA
Authors: Kusumaningsih Nugraheni
Published: July 2022

The Indonesian government has already allocated 20 percent from its budget every year for education. Therefore, it's profound to know whether the budget spent on education is giving significant return. The paper aims to examine the rate of return to education, whether there's a disparity between rate of return to education between females and males, and whether education can help tighten the gap of income inequality which is a crucial issue these days facing emerging countries. This paper is using Mincer Equation as the model and Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), a panel data from Indonesian households, finding the rate of return to education to be 7.5 percent. Interesting finding coming from return to education for females to be not different from males, given that return to education for females usually higher than males, though disparity tends to get smaller over time. In addition, it is found that education is not widening the gap of inequality though we can't say whether income equalizing process through education really occurs except for female case, it is income equalizing. This finding is crucial showing that the government should pay more focus in educating females as a means to tighten the income inequality gap.

The Impact of a Loss of Confidence in Emerging Market Economies to the World Economy: A Simulation with the G-Cubed Model
Authors: Mansur Alfan
Published: July 2022

Risks in emerging market economies have considerably gone up as capital inflows have soared since the global financial crises in 2008. Once the advanced economies recover, especially in the US where its monetary stimulus ends, market expectations change. It may then potentially lead to sudden capital outflows from emerging economies which could lead to loss of confidence in the emerging market economies. To study the impacts of such event, this paper simulates with the G-Cubed Model. The results show that once financial shocks hit emerging market economies, it can produce critical real effects in the economic downturn which will last for a long period. The simulation also shows the strong interdependence between financial and real economies. In the emerging economies, expected future incomes and wealth fall, while the developed economies gain through the reallocation of investment. Another important channel of the shocks is through trade channel as most emerging market economies rely on imports for their production inputs.

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe researchâ€™s purposes is to analyze Causality between FDI in telecommunication service sector and the empolyment in that sector. The method used are the descriptive and the linear regression through PVECM estimation. The results showed that the FDI in telecommunication service sector in the period of 2000-2016, only concentrated in Java and Bali with an average contribution of 98 percent per year. The PVECM estimation showed that the FDI has a strong two-way relationship with the employment. This means that FDI significantly encourages labor and vice versa. The ECT coefficient showed that the change in FDI due to changes in employment to achieve equilibrium is 89 percent and the change of employment due to changes in FDIÂ  by 10 percent per year. Thus, the FDI provides benefits for the employment absorption and the availability of emploment is also an important consideration for investors to invest in Indonesia's telecommunications sector.
Estimation of Indonesiaâ€™s Fiscal Reaction Function
Authors: Pamungkas Raditiyo Harya
Published: July 2022

Fiscal policy is a core factor in managing macroeconomic indicators strategy. Following several financial crises, both advanced and emerging countries undertook prudent fiscal policies to maintain debt sustainability. This paper investigates the fiscal policy behaviour of Indonesia through a fiscal reaction function, which represents how the government reacts to the debt to GDP ratio by the creation of primary balance in the budget. Breakpoint unit roottest is conducted due to the stationarity characteristics of data variables, hence the widely used Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) bound test is employed using quarterly data from 1990 to 2014. These results indicate that the government of Indonesia has reacted to the increase in debt to GDP bygenerating the primary surplus due to increase in debt accumulation which shows the well-behaved fiscal policy to maintain debt sustainability. In Indonesiaâ€™s fiscal reaction function, real interest rate, nominal exchange rateto US$, and election significantly determine the primary balance behaviour. In addition to maintaining a debt to GDP ratio at a low level, the government should also consider the other variables other than debt to achieve sustainability of fiscal policy especially in managing shocks.
Trade-off Antara Kesinambungan Keuangan dan Jangkauan Lembaga Keuangan Mikro Syariah di Perdesaan Jawa Barat
Authors: Rina Oktaviani, Carunia M. Firdausy Yani Mulyaningsih, Nunung Nuryantono
Published: July 2022

Sebagaimana lembaga keuangan mikro konvensional, Lembaga Keuangan Mikro Syariah (LKMS), diharapkan dapat memfokuskan layanannya kepada rumah tangga miskin. Layanan bagi rumah tangga miskin menyebabkan biaya operasi lembaga yang tinggi, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan konflik dengan keberlanjutan keuangan. Tulisan ini menganalisis keberlanjutan dan jangkauan layanan LKMS untuk menunjukkan ada trade-off antara keduanya. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah stochastic frontier approach (SFA) untuk menganalisis keberlanjutan dan model Consultative Group to Assist the Poorest (CGAP) untuk menganalisis jangkauan layanan LKMS. Hasil estimasi dengan SFA menunjukkan seluruh LKMS efisien. Model CGAP menunjukkan bahwa jangkauan layanananya lebih difokuskan kepada rumah tangga tani yang relatif sejahtera. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa ketika LKMS dituntut untuk efisien supaya berkelanjutan maka jangkauan layanannya beralih kepada rumahtangga tani yang relatif sejahtera (fenomena trade-off). Untuk mengatasi trade-off antara keberlanjutan dan jangkauan layanan bagi rumah tangga miskin diperlukan sinerji antara LKMS dengan pemerintah dan lembaga-lembaga sosial lainnya.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak dari peran alokatif pemerintah melalui pengadaan barang dan jasa terhadap perekonomian Indonesia yang diwakili oleh pertumbuhan ekonomi (PDB) dan hubungan timbal balik di antara keduanya. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis model Vector Autoregression (VAR) melalui pengujian Impulse Response Function (IRF) dan Variance Decomposition (VD), secara empiris penelitian ini menemukan bahwa: (i) shock atau perubahan nilai realisasi pengadaan barang/jasa pemerintah berdampak positif terhadap perekonomian Indonesia. Respon positif perekonomian ini berlangsung cepat dan terus berlangsung dalam jangka panjang secara permanen, di mana 91,12 % variasi pembentukan indikator perekonomian Indonesia (pada akhir periode penelitian), berasal dari sektor pengadaan barang/jasa pemerintah; (ii) sebaliknya, perekonomian Indonesia juga memberikan dampak positif terhadap pengadaan barang/jasa pemerintah. Namun, dampak positif ini hanya berlangsung sementara. Shock atau perubahan yang terjadi pada perkenomian dalam jangka waktu lebih lama akan memberikan dampak negatif terhadap pengadaan barang/jasa pemerintah. Respon negatif ini terus berlangsung dengan tren yang terus meningkat dalam jangka panjang.

Authors: Sofia Arie Damayanty Singgih Riphat, Hadi Setiawan,
Published: July 2022

This research aims to examine the causal relationship between the provincial financial performance and the Human Development Index (HDI). The results of this research are important since it can be used as a guidance to make a sound policy of local governmentâ€™s revenue and budget allocation which can improve the welfare or quality of the society. The methodology of this paper is a quantitative approach by using the Granger causality test. Several provinces in Eastern Indonesia are used as the object of research since those areas are underdeveloped compared to western Indonesia. Several financial ratios are used as the proxies of local financial performance. The results show that most of the financial performances do not have a causal relationship with HDI, except for several proxies in some provinces.

Published: July 2022

This research aims to develop a Macro-Econometric Model of State Budget Posture and its Application for Impact Analysis of Fiscal and Monetary Policy. The approach used is the Macro-Econometric model, also known as the Indonesian State Budget Posture model. The time span of the data series observation is from 1990â€“2019. The Macro-Econometric Model which is used for APBN Posture is a system of simultaneous equations which is estimated of using two stages least squares (2SLS) method, while the solution to solve the system of equations used the Newton method. The results of the analysis show that economic growth is 2.11 percent, but under the pessimistic scenario, the contraction growth is -2.94%, while in the moderate scenario the contraction is -1.88 percent in 2020. The budget deficit in 2020 is estimated at 6.41 percent of GDP. A budget deficit of below 3 percent of GDP is expected to be achieved in 2023. For the 2020-2024 period, the primary balance is negative, which indicates that the government does not have funds to finance debt interest, so the new debt is also used to pay debt interest. It is more appropriate to finance the budget deficit from domestic sources of funds in order to avoid fluctuations in rupiah exchange rate fluctuations.

Le parole di Gesù e le sue opere rivelano la sua pro-esistenza salvifica. La salvezza anticipata nella terrestre pro-esistenza di Gesù  raggiunge la sua pienezza nella sua Pasqua. In questo momento l'opera della salvezza raggiunge il suo apice: Gesù offre agli uomini se stesso. La croce di Cristo  vissuta come sacrificio pasquale  espia i peccati e permette ad ogni uomo di entrare nella nuova alleanza con Dio. La croce di Cristo è stata anticipata nellevento dell'Ultima Cena. Fra questi due eventi esiste inscindibile connessione. Lavvenimento dell'Ultima Cena consiste nel fatto che Gesù distribuisce il suo Corpo e il suo Sangue, ossia la sua esistenza, dando se stesso. La morte violenta di Gesù, vissuta nell'obbedienza filiale e nellamore, viene trasformata in un sacrificio volontario, in questatto damore che è la redenzione del mondo. In modo esplicito l'amore infinito di Cristo  testimoniato sulla Croce  viene rivelato nelle parole dell'Ultima Cena. L'Eucaristia è presenza del Sacrificio di Cristo che consiste nel sommo atto di donazione, dell'amore sino alla fine. Gesù, nelle parole dell'istituzione dell'Eucaristia esprime la verit salvifica che egli è il Sacrificio reale e definitivo. Dio aspetta quellamore infinito, che è lunica vera conciliazionefra cielo e terra.
Jezus jako Zbawiciel w nauczaniu Paulina z Noli

Published: July 2022

La teologia di Paolino di Nola nasce dalla sua contemplazione della persona di Cristo-Salvatore. E una teologia tutta centrata sul ruolo di Ges nella storia della salvezza e nella vita di ogni uomo battezzato. Per ogni cristiano Gesu Salvatore  Fonte della grazia, paragonata all'acqua che purifica e d la vita. Cristo  come una pietra della quale costantemente zampilla per loro l'acqua viva dello Spirito Santo. Nel Cristo-Salvatore si rivela anche la misericordia di Dio verso le sue creature. La sua morte salvifica unisce il popolo eletto con i popoli pagani, creando un unico popolo di Dio; vince pure la dicotomia generata dal peccato originale nel'uomo.

Dobra nowina według Deutero-Izajasza (Iz 52,7-10)
Authors: Lemański Janusz
Published: July 2022

The message of Is 52,7-10 is determined by declaration made in v. 7bB: your God has begun his reign. This statement introduces reality which may be recognised and realized through peace, good and salvation, gifts offered to Gods chosen people (v. 7bA). The reason why it is possible and actually happens is because God comforts and redeems His people (v.9). The new kingship is so splendourous that even the ends of the earth can witness salvation of our Lord (v. 10b). Contents of this God Tidings is similar to what christians call Gospel of Jesus Christ (Rom 10,15). In this article the theological closeness between Is 52,7-10 and the proclamation of Jesus Christ is strongly emphasised.
Orzech i laska Aarona czyli zgłębianie i głoszenie Słowa Bożego w ujęciu Ojców Kościoła
Authors: Naumowicz Józef
Published: July 2022

Artykuł prezentuje niektóre, chociaż najbardziej charakterystyczne wyjaśnienia wersetu z Księgi Liczb: .Zakwitła laska Aarona z pokolenia Lewiego, wypuściła pączki, wydała kwiat i dojrzały na niej orzechy. Filon Aleksandryjski nadawał temu zdaniu sens moralny. Orzech traktował jako symbol cnoty, twardości życia ascetycznego oraz zdobywania wartości duchowych. Cudowne zakwitnięcie laski Aarona uważa też za znak, że sam Bóg wybiera kapłanów.Dla Orygenesa orzech staje sią symbolem trzech sensów Pisma: literalnego, moralnego i duchowego. Sens duchowy jest ukryty pod wyrażeniem literalnym, które go zakrywa czy przyobleka, niby skorupa osłaniająca owoc orzecha. Nie można jednak zatrzymać się na warstwie zewnętrznej. Należy szukać wewnętrznego znaczenia słowa: ono za jest tak bogate, że nigdy nie można go wyczerpać.Podobnie św. Ambroży domagał się, by głębszego sensu poszukiwać w perykopach, które są trudne w pierwszym odbiorze i których sens dosłowny może szokować: trzeba szukać ukrytego w nich znaczenia duchowego, które okaże się bardzo pożyteczne. Zgłębianie Pisma świętego jest niezbędne do tego, by móc głosić je innym. Wielu autorów: Klemens Rzymski, Orygenes i Ambroży powtarzał też myśl, spotykaną już u Filona, że zakwitnięcie laski Aarona było znakiem, iż tylko Bóg może udzielić łaski kapłaństwa. Dla Orygenesa wskazuje na to nie tylko różdżka Aarona, ale też laska proroka Jeremiasza, jak również bogaty w owoce orzechowy ogród, o którym mówi Pieśń nad Pieśniami. Sam orzech, zawierający owoc okryty dwoma osłonami: gorzką i twardą, staje się obrazem trudów i pokus związanych z życiem kapłańskim, które ostatecznie kryje w sobie radość i łaskę.Ojcowie Kościoła mówią jednak nie tylko o kapłaństwie urzędowym, udzielanym nielicznym. Ambroży wskazywał, że każdy chrześcijanin przez chrzest staje się kapłanem w sensie duchowym, by mógł zgłębiać słowo Boże oraz o nim świadczyć.Istotnym zadaniem kapłana jest głoszenie Słowa. Nie opiera się ono jedynie na naturalnych ludzkich zdolnościach. Różdżka Aarona symbolizuje łaskę, jaka działa w powołanych do służby Bogu i zdolna jest sprawić przez nich cuda, nawet jeśli mają oni poczucie, że swym zadaniom nie mogą w pełni sprostać. Ich nauczanie winno zaś niekiedy przypominać gorzką i twardą osłonę orzecha. Nie mogą więc pomijać trudnych kwestii, jeśli jest to pożyteczne dla dobra tych, którzy są im powierzeni. Najważniejsze jednak jest przekazywanie Dobrej Nowiny i bogactwa życia duchowego. Nie można też ludzką miarą mierzyć skuteczności głoszenia. Słowo, które długo wydaje się bezowocne, niekiedy przynosi skutki późne i nieoczekiwane. Jest jak laska Aarona, która od dawna była zeschnięta, jednak cudownie zakwitła i wydała obfite owoce. Najważniejsze jest zawsze działanie Boga.
Jakie jest orędzie ewangeliczne w Rz 1,16-3,20?
Authors: Romanello Stefano
Published: July 2022

Paul, apostle to the nations, is proud of the Good News, which is so significant to the history of mankind. How does the propositio in Rom 1,16-3, 20 concerning God’s righteousness in the Gospels relate to His anger with those who are against the true Law of God? The subpropositio (Rom 1,18-32) shows God as angry due to that, which is evil, as in the Old Testament, where He is radically opposed to all evil, not toward people or individuals. God is the only just judge, since all men have sinned: Paul confronts those Jews who claim to be righteous or simply following the Law given them. He stressed that God’s judgement is not biased in favour of Jews, equal in God’s sight to the pagans who naturally wish to obey the Law (Rom 2,18-20). Next, Paul shows that all people are saved by Jesus Christ, since he came and took away sin, making all righteous in God’s sight (Rom 3,21-22). The message taught by Paul is that the Gospel has saving power for all people who believe, regardless of ethnic background.
Słowo Boże konieczne w drodze do szczęścia
Authors: Popielewski Wojciech
Published: July 2022

La littérature sapientiale de la Bible est centrée sur l’homme, sur sa conduite pratique de la vie individuelle, familiale et sociale. D’autre part pourtant, les livres sapientiaux dessignent l’image de l’homme qui – pour parvenir à la pleine réalisation de soi-même – ne peut pas se limiter à la dimension pratique de la vie. Ses propres efforts et l’expérience des âges créent une première dimension de la recherche de ce qui est bon pour l’homme. Certaines questions qui ne trouvent pas les réponses dans cette dimension ouvrent l’homme à une dimension nouvelle – cette de la foi. L’homme en tant que créature, est conduit à la vraie sagesse qui est plus intérieure - puisqu’elle commence avec la crainte de Dieu, et très concrète – puisqu’on la trouve dans le livre de l’alliance qui nous lie au Dieu très-haut (Sir 24,23). Voilà une accomplissement naturelle de la recherche de l’homme demandant où trouver la voie vers la vie accomplie, pleine et heureuse. La première partie de cet article nous offre l’analise des étapes de l’itinéraire de l’homme qui le conduit à la rencontre avec la Parole de Dieu.Dans la deuxième partie de l’article on nous propose la réflexions qui cherche à répondre à la question suivante: quelle est la relation entre le livre de l’alliance proposé comme source de la sagesse avec d’autres parties de la Bible, surtout avec cette partie du canon qu’on appelle la littérature de sagesse.
Ewangelizacja Izraela w Liście do Efezjan
Authors: Adamczewski Bartosz
Published: July 2022

According to the Letter to the Ephesians, evangelisation of Israel is not less important than evangelisation of the Gentiles. Israel, though it has been granted several privileges as the People of Covenants (Eph 2,12), is still in need of reconciliation and peace with God and with other nations (2,3.14-17). Only by accepting the gospel of Christ Israel – together with Gentile Christians – will achieve salvation (1,13) and will become new creation (2,15) living really near to God (2,13) and having access to the Father in the Spirit (2,18). All of the faithful Israelites (not only the sons of Levi) will then have the possibility of living always in direct nearness to God as holy priests of the spiritual temple of the Lord (2,19-21). Only through the gospel Israel will finally know God’s hidden „mystery” (3,3n.9) and the unsearchable richness of God’s grace (3,8) and wisdom (3,10), consisting in uniting Jewish and Gentile believers into one, reconciled community of the Body of Christ (3,6).
Jaka wiara daje życie? W poszukiwaniu kontekstu dla zrozumienia Ha 2,4
Authors: Pikor Wojciech
Published: July 2022

L'articolo affronta il problema del contenuto della fede proposta da Ab 2,4 come strumento della vita. L'analisi si concentra prima sul contesto sapienziale della parola di Abacuc, poi sullo sfondo storico dell'intervento profetico e infine sull'esperienza di Abacuc come giusto sofferente. La vita viene della fede nella presenza di Dio anche quando la violenza che tocca il giusto sembra negarla. La giustizia richiesta dell'uomo consiste quindi non tanto nella conformim alla legge, quanto nel giusto rapporto con Dio in cui l'uomo rispetta ił tempo e la modalita dell'azione salvifica di Dio.
"Napoję cię winem korzennym, moszczem z granatów" (Pnp 8,2b). Pragnienie Oblubieńca w świetle starożytnych i średniowiecznych komentarzy do Pieśni nad Pieśniami
Authors: Bardski Krzysztof
Published: July 2022

In the tradition of the allegorical interpretation of the Song of Songs the Bridegroom of the Song of Songs represents Christ, meanwhile the bride represents the Church. The verse 8,2 shows us the Bride satiating the thirst of the Bridegroom. In the article we tried to analyze and reflect on the commentaries of the Fathers of the Church and medieval writers to this verse in connection with the charisma of Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity centered on the mystery of Jesus' "I thirst" on the cross. The main streams ofthe Christian tradition interpreted the spiced vine in connection with the love of God and the juice of pomegranates in connection with martyrdom.
