Fostering World Peace Through ‘Cultures of Meaning’: A Case Study of Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa and the Sanad Collective
Authors: Edaibat Omar 
Published: July 2020

When considering the question of world peace, many of the political and intellectual responses of our age continue to operate within a well-defined prism that privileges secular, diplomatic, political, and economic solutions that have failed to adequately diagnose the root causes of this persistent global challenge. Further still, religion is frequently regarded as an exclusionary and divisive force, or worse still as an obstacle, that is to be channeled and contained. This paper seeks to address this imbalance. Part I seeks to provide a wider critique of the contemporary status quo and to proffer a diagnosis of the underlying root causes of our current global crises. In doing so, I build upon existing critical academic scholarship, with a special focus on Rajani Kanth’s forceful critique of ‘Euro-modernism’ and Steven D. Smith’s ‘cage’ of secular discourse. Here, I argue that the central malaise of our age relates to the shrinking landscapes of ‘meaning’ in our expanding global monoculture, a challenge that the paradigm of traditional religion is well suited to address. Part II, seeks to bolster this point further through an illustrative example of one such local communal solution in practice working from within the rich resources of Islamic spiritual tradition in my case study of Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa and his dynamic community, the Sanad Collective, in Eastern Canada.
Vulgarly Called The Throat-Distemper: New Jersey’s Two-Century Struggle Against Diphtheria
Authors: Moss Sandra W. 
Published: July 2020

In 1740, minister and physician Jonathan Dickinson of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, published “Observations on that Terrible Disease Vulgarly Called the Throat-Distemper,” a short treatise on the diagnosis and treatment of epidemic diphtheria for the benefit of physicians in Boston. Dickinson’s pamphlet was a landmark in American colonial medical literature. It was New Jersey’s first—and last—important original contribution to the medical literature on diphtheria. For the next two centuries, New Jersey, with no medical colleges or prestigious teaching hospitals of its own, would import the medical knowledge and innovations necessary to control and finally eradicate the disease that cruelly killed thousands of New Jersey children in the two centuries following Dickinson’s report. This article examines the processes by which New Jersey practitioners and public health officers imported, processed, disseminated, and applied the lessons of the germ theory and immunology in their two-century quest to banish one of the great scourges of childhood.

Published: July 2020

Transverse rumble strips (TRS) are commonly used as traffic calming measure in the vicinity of premises. So far research have been extensively concentrated on the effect of vehicle type and speed on the noise produced by TRS, and very little research focused on the effect of vehicle weight. Do these vehicles produce extremely higher sound level parallel to their heavier weight? This is important as in reality, traffic flow consist of light, medium and heavy vehicles, which are also important sources of noise. This study investigated the effect of vehicle weight, such as gross vehicle weight (GVW) when transited on TRS, particularly with emphasis on impulsivity content. The objectives of this research were to: (1) determine the effect of GVW on noise generation when a vehicle transits on TRS and (2) assess the effect of GVW on the impulsivity of noise. Data from vehicles with weight between 800 kg - 8000 kg were collected based on previous research where these vehicles were tested on speed values of 30km/h and 50km/h. It was found that when the vehicles transited on TRS, the generated noise was strongly related with the vehicle weights (R2=0.71) higher than those normal road surface (R2=0.49). However, the changes of noise were not well represented by direct relation. It was found that TRS can increase and decrease the sound pressure level, depending on GVW, but on average, TRS can increase the sound pressure level by 1 dBA. Despite that, TRS was found to have an impulsive characteristic within the tested speed range. This finding can facilitate the authority to evaluate the environmental noise produced by TRS.

Authors: Reddy Vempati Srinivasa , Brahma Raju K. , Venkata Subbaiah K. 
Published: July 2020

The stress distribution of cruciform shape welded joints is analyzed by finite element codes ABAQUS. Welded joints with various weld shapes and sizes are investigated to estimate the fatigue life of different joints. The fatigue behavior is evaluated under constant amplitude loading (R=0.1). The aim of this work is fatigue behavior evaluation of fillet welded cruciform joint for different weld geometry. The weld geometry are considered: concave, convex and flat weld shape of different weld sizes. The stress intensity factor (SIF) of a TI 6AL4V, is calculated by using Extended finite element method (XFEM) in ABAQUS software. Simulations of fatigue life for different weld shapes at different stresses are analyzed and crack initiations are identified the number of severe fatigue life cycles which are obtained are very close to the theoretical values. In present study the importance of XEFM method is recognized to predict the crack growth rate for convex specimen which is subjected maximum fatigue stress.

The meso approach based to the extraction of the behavior of representative volume elementary (RVE) of the 2.5 D woven composite. The macroscale simulation was elaborated on ABAQUS standard simulation. With reference to the numerical and experimental study, the results shows a good agreement. The present investigation is an important preliminary study in process forming of single woven carbon 2.5 D composite.
Regulation of Gliogenesis bylin-32/Atoh1 inCaenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Zhang Albert , Noma Kentaro , Yan Dong 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThe regulation of gliogenesis is a fundamental process for nervous system development, as the appropriate glial number and identity is required for a functional nervous system. To investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in gliogenesis, we used C. elegans as a model and identified the function of the proneural gene lin-32/Atoh1 in gliogenesis. We found that lin-32 functions during embryonic development to negatively regulate the number of AMsh glia. The ectopic AMsh cells at least partially arise from cells originally fated to become CEPsh glia, suggesting that lin-32 is involved in the specification of specific glial subtypes. Moreover, we show that lin-32 acts in parallel with cnd-1/ NeuroD1 and ngn-1/ Neurog1 in negatively regulating an AMsh glia fate. Furthermore, expression of murine Atoh1 fully rescues lin-32 mutant phenotypes, suggesting lin-32/Atoh1 may have a conserved role in glial specification.

Four Sistine Ethiopians? The 1481 Ethiopian Embassy and the Frescoes of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican
Authors: Bonechi Marco 
Published: July 2020

As proposed by several scholars, among the many modern on-lookers depicted on the walls of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, foreign diplomats are also portrayed: e.g., the Portuguese ambassador and the Florentine emissaries. In the present paper it is suggested that portraits of four of the six members of the momentous Ethiopian delegation – which was headed by Antonio, chaplain of aṣe Ǝskǝndǝr, and arrived at Rome in the first half of November 1481 – may be identified in two scenes, i.e. the Temptation of Moses by Sandro Botticelli and the Crossing of the Red Sea by Biagio d’Antonio Tucci. The paper focuses on the relationship between the visual representation of these four men – Antonio being most probably included – and two contemporary literary works: the treatise by Paride de Grassi on the ambassadors to the Roman curia and the writing by Andreas Trapezuntius on the Roman political situation at the end of 1481 respectively. Such topics as the genuflexion of the Ethiopians and the content of Sixtus IV with the Ethiopian embassy are dealt with. The importance of the suggested identifications for the problematic chronology of the frescoes is also discussed, and so a few other aspects of the two narrative scenes.
The Gǝʿǝz Version of Philo of Carpasia’s Commentary on Canticle of Canticles 1:2–14a: Introductory Notes
Authors: Abraha Tedros 
Published: July 2020

The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of little known Gǝʿǝz texts ascribed to Philo, namely: fragments of a Paschal Homily, a bulky but incomplete commentary on the Pauline Corpus and a fragment of Philo of Carpasia’s commentary on the Canticle of Canticles. While concentrating mainly on the latter, the present article wants to draw attention to linguistic characteristics common to the trilogy which is associated with the name Philo. The Gǝʿǝz version of Philo of Carpasia’s Commentary is a rare example of a strictly paratactic translation which is keen to reproduce literally the Greek text from which it depended. The outcome is a hardly understandable Gǝʿǝz text which is however interesting as a unique witness of an ancient translation technique. The Philonian trilogy is among other aspects, a mine of unknown or little attested Gǝʿǝz terms.
Building Faith: Ethiopian Art and Architecture during the Jesuit Interlude, 1557–1632
Authors: Windmuller-Luna Kristen 
Published: July 2020

This dissertation examines the relationship between royally-sponsored Roman Catholic and Ethiopian Orthodox art and architecture during the 1557 to 1632 Jesuit Ethiopian mission. The first part of the dissertation examines key religious and secular sites, demonstrating how these structures combined elements drawn from classicizing architectural treatises, the Portuguese estilo chão, and Ethiopian architecture. The second part of the project assesses the role of books, prints, and religious art as tools of conversion and as artistic models. In contrast to studies that posit that European visual culture supplanted the Ethiopian during the mission era, the dissertation argues that the period’s art and architecture demonstrates the Jesuit strategy of cultural accommodation, and that far from being apart from Ethiopian art history, it shares stylistic and iconographic hallmarks with the so-called “Gondärine style.”

Lenguas en tránsito: Experiencias lingüísticas en el marco de la migración en tres ficciones latinoamericanas
Authors: Julio Díaz Ayleen 
Published: July 2020

El presente artículo se propone hacer un análisis integrador de de tres novelas latinoamericanas casi contemporáneas en su publicación: El síndrome de Ulises (2005), de Santiago Gamboa; Lord (2006), de João Gilberto Noll, y Frankfurt. Cruce de caminos (2004), de Ana Vidal, relatos que apelan a los tópicos de la migración y el exilio para poner en cuestión la fijeza de la identidad en un marco de movimiento territorial. Dentro de dicha narrativa, se busca indagar cuál es el lugar de la lengua –escrita, hablada, materna, extranjera– cuando esta pierde su territorio y debe encontrar un lugar donde adquirir sentido.
Ambient-Noise Tomography of the Baiyun Gold Deposit in Liaoning, China
Authors: Li Xuantao , Huang Jinli , Liu Zhikun 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Ambient-noise tomography (ANT) has become an effective method for determining the fine velocity structure of the shallow crust. However, studies on metal mines using this method are rarely reported. To investigate the tectonic background and prospecting of the deep mine in the Baiyun gold deposit (BYGD) of eastern Liaoning Province, China, we use ANT to determine a 3D S-wave velocity structure model of the BYGD. A total of 21 broadband seismic stations were installed in an area of 15×14  km, centered at the BYGD. Continuous observations for approximately three months were made. After single-station preprocessing, cross correlation of ambient noise, and phase-weighted stacking, the empirical Green’s function for the Rayleigh waves between stations was recovered. Next, group-velocity dispersion with 0.8–3 s periods was measured. A direct inversion method of surface-wave dispersion based on raytracing was then adopted to determine a 3D S-wave velocity structure of the BYGD from the ground surface to a depth of 1.8 km. The results show that the distribution of S-wave velocities in the study area well reflected the geological characteristics of the surface. The velocities were significantly low within the “ore field” and the regional ore-controlling Jianshanzi fault. Combining this with the fact that a large number of magmatic veins were visible inside both structures, it was deduced that both structures had experienced large-scale magmatic intrusion activities, thus confirming that BYGD was a magmatic hydrothermal deposit. The significantly low S-wave velocities beneath the gold deposit extended to a depth of 1.8 km. This might imply the occurrence of blind ore bodies at that depth. The fine velocity structure of the BYGD reconstructed by this study provided a direction for subsequent prospecting of deep regions and demonstrated that ANT has good potential in metal mine exploration.
Let the Land Heal You
Authors: Menacho Charlene 
Published: July 2020

Colonization has affected Indigenous communities and created a major shift in Indigenous ways of being,knowing, and doing. This letter explores how colonization has caused trauma for Indigenous communities,specifically Dene men in the Northwest Territories. As a Dene woman and current student in a social workprogram, I work to uphold my responsibility to learn and be a resource to my people. In this letter, I willdiscuss the impacts of colonization on Dene men as a source of trauma, and the importance of returningto the land to heal oneself through Dene practices. I begin by discussing Dene people’s relationship tothe land as conveyed through our Creation Story. Next, I provide an overview of Dene experiences ofcolonization and systemic oppression. I then reflect on healing our historical trauma by returning to theland and allowing the land to heal us through ceremony.

RESEARCH STUDY ON COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE FEATURES OF SOCIAL SPHERE SPECIALISTS
Authors: Shcheglova Aleksandra S. , Demidova Tatyana E. , Akhtyan Anna. G. , Bereza Nataliya A. , Salkhenova Alfiya A. 
Published: July 2020

Purpose of the study: To study the ways to increase the communicative competence of social sphere specialists, aimed at the formation of professional and personal qualities, communicative skills, and development of professional interest and success.
Methodology: Some theoretical and empirical research methods are used: analysis of publications in social work, normative documentation on the research issue; diagnostic methods: questioning, testing, interviews; experimental methods: ascertaining, forming, and control stages of the experiment; stating, forming and control stages of the experiment; methods of statistical processing of research results.
Main Findings: The main results of the study showed that the modern practice of successful organization of social service activities requires a thoughtful approach. The head, together with the full-time psychologist, should monitor the communicative competence of the specialists working at this service and timely organize the work to overcome the manifestations of professional burnout of specialists and prevent their professional deformation. The significance of the influence of active teaching methods on interpersonal communication has allowed us to develop and test several practically effective teaching methods that increase the effectiveness of interaction with others in professional communication.
Applications of this study: This study reveals the possibilities of improving the communicative competence of the specialists working at social service departments in modern conditions of systematic emotional overload when performing their professional duties. This theme is quite relevant for the activities of any service within “person to person” interaction, especially a social one, having its specifics and directed at helping a person facing a social problem.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study is in justifying the need for organizing activities to improve the communicative competence of social service specialists using modern socio-psychological developments. In the modern practice of holding social work, this component is often overlooked, which subsequently leads to frequent conflicts among social service employees and recipients of social services, a gradual loss of interest in the work performed, and, as a result, its indifferent fulfilment.

<span>Perkembangan Hadis di Indonesia pada abad ke-19 M. Masih belum mendapat tempat dalam hati masyarakat Indonesia sebagaimana Tafsir al-Qur’an dan Fiqh. Materi pelajaran hadis dan ilmu hadis berikut kitab-kitabnya pada abad ke-19 memang belum banyak dikaji di beberapa lembaga pendidikan termasuk di pesantren-pesantren pada saat itu, namun di sisi lain, di akhir abad ke-19 muncul ulama Nusantara yang telah mengibarkan keilmuan hadisnya di Timur Tengah, yaitu Muhammad Mahfuzh at-Tirmasi. Banyak sekali intelektual muslim, baik dari Indonesia maupun luar yang belajar kepada Kyai Mahfuzh. Di antara karya monumental Kyai Mahfuzh adalah Manhaj Dzawi an-Nazhar yang hendak dibahas dalam artikel ini. Kajian ini merupakan kajian pustaka dengan menjadikan karya-karya KH. Mahfuzh at-Tirmasi sebagai sumber datanya, terutama Kitab <em>Manhaj dzawi an-Nadhar </em>yang merupakan kitab yang menjelaskan (men-<em>syarh)</em> kitab <em>Nazham Alfiyah </em>karya Imam as-Suyuthi<em> </em>yang memfokuskan kajian pada bidang ilmu hadis.

HADIS KHITAN PADA PEREMPUAN: Kajian Kritik Matan Sebagai Upaya Mengakhiri Diskriminasi Gender
Authors: Rosyid Moh. 
Published: July 2020

Tujuan ditulisnya naskah ini untuk memaparkan praktik mengkhitan pada anak perempuan di Pantai Utara Jawa Tengah (Pantura Jateng) bagian timur meliputi sebagian wilayah Kabupaten Demak, Kudus, Jepara, Pati, dan Rembang. Data diperoleh dengan wawancara dengan pelaku khitan (pengkhitan) yang analisisnya berpijak pada hadis tentang khitan dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Mengkhitan berlandaskan hadis Nabi ”<em>al-khitanu sunnatu li ar-rijal makrumatun li an-nisa”</em> (Khitan itu sunah bagi lelaki dan kemulyaan bagi perempuan”). Berdasarkan <em>takhrijul al-hadis</em>, hadis nomor 19794 bersumber dari Ahmad bin Hambal dan Usamah, bersandar pada Suraij sebagai sanad pertama. Sanad hadis bersambung tapi tidak semua perawinya <em>tsiqoh,</em> kredibilitasnya diperdebatkan dan sanadnya <em>dloif</em>. Tetapi pelaksanaan khitan pada anak perempuan membudaya dengan ragam model, bila tidak dikhitan dicemooh lingkungannya. Dampak secara luas, data Unicef tahun 2015 hasil survei tahun 2013 di 33 provinsi di Indonesia, di 497 kota dan 300.000 rumah tangga, lebih dari separuh jumlah anak perempuan usia di bawah enam bulan dikhitan dengan memotong klitoris. Kondisi ini menempatkan Indonesia pada urutan ketiga praktik sunat setelah Mesir dan Ethiopia. Hal ini diperkuat adanya pandangan masyarakat bahwa perempuan menduduki strata sosial kelas dua setelah laki-laki sehingga lelaki sangat dominan memutuskan ragam hal. Pemahaman terhadap hadis khitan tersebut perlu diluruskan agar dampak khitan di bidang kesehatan yang diderita anak perempuan tidak berkelanjutan.
