Art and Spirituality. Explored on the Levels of Experience, Meaning and Research
Authors: Goud Johan 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The area where literature, art, music, religion, spirituality, and philosophy split off from, run parallel to each other, and merge again is like a delta. This essay explores the complex interrelations between art and spirituality on three levels. First on the level of spiritual experience, exemplified by experiences of the art of still life (the painter Morandi, the poet Kopland). On the second level, several questions about meaning are analyzed, beginning with the question of meaning posed by the work of art itself. Both art and spirituality presuppose an open and receptive attitude. In philosophical reflections on the meaning of art, some aim primarily at its relevance for our insight into the reality of things, people, and animals, while others are more concerned with its significance for human action. Thirdly, some problems on the level of research are discussed. Research invites us to come to a critical relativization of what we have seen, heard, or read and also allows us to see that the often presupposed ‘immediacy’ of our experience is in fact mediated by pre-given schemes and habits. Three reasons are given to answer the question why it is meaningful to research these mediations and to search for the authentic meanings of art works (in particular works of literature) themselves.
Presence in Contemporary Religious Art Graham Sutherland and Antony Gormley
Authors: Stoker Wessel 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This article analyses the topic of presence in modern and contemporary religious art by means of the work of two artists. Graham Sutherland’s Christ in Glory (1951-1962) will be compared to the Buddhism-inspired works of Antony Gormley. Sutherlands Christ in Glory is intended to show Christ’s presence to the involved observer: the invisible Christ can become present through interaction with Christ in Glory in the same way that Christ becomes present through prayer. Viewed in connection with other works by Gormley, Land, Sea, and Air II (1982) is intended to show presence to the viewer, the body as presence. This concerns an attitude of quiet concentration and awareness in connection with the ‘elemental’ world. Theologically speaking, the difference between Christ in Glory and Gormley’s works is as follows: the Christian tradition views the human being as a creation of God. He or she lives in his or her presence only in dependence on God. For Gormley, it has to do with a presence without God the creator. The human being is present as body and awareness in a world in which everything is uncertain. There is an unmistakable difference in their views of presence, but that does not mean, as we will see, that Gormley’s work cannot be fruitful for the Christian religion. Gormley’s Sound II in the crypt of Winchester Cathedral points the involved observer to the importance of the renewal of life after baptism through meditation as an important part of Christian spirituality.
De Pierre Le Vénérable À Eudes De Châteauroux: La Réception Du Talmud, Entre Hostilité Et Incompréhension
Authors: Lecousy Amélia 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Cet article met en lumière la réception du Talmud parmi les érudits parisiens chrétiens entre 1140, avec la rédaction du Adversus judaeorum de Pierre le Vénérable, et 1248, la condamnation officielle par Eudes de Châteauroux. Avec la création des universités au XIIe siècle, la curiosité intellectuelle et la soif de savoir dirigent les théologiens chrétiens vers des textes non plus uniquement bibliques, mais aussi rabbiniques. Simultanément, la présence de l’Église et son orthodoxie doctrinale se renforcent, avec un désir encore plus fort d’encadrer ses fidèles. Le XIIIe siècle est l’époque d’une série de condamnations de thèses chrétiennes par l’Église pour prévenir la propagation d’erreurs dogmatiques. Avec Pierre le Vénérable, nous voyons pour la première fois un théologien chrétien s’attarder sur les textes talmudiques. Ce n’est véritablement qu’un siècle plus tard que le Talmud se fait connaître par les savants chrétiens, après que Nicolas Donin, juif converti au christianisme, informe Grégoire IX des erreurs blasphématoires à l’encontre de Dieu et du christianisme contenues dans ce livre. Une fois examiné, le Talmud est condamné 1240, puis solennellement en 1248 par l’autorité parisienne, soutenue par des enregistrements méticuleux, intitulés Extractiones de Talmut.
An AHP – Based Assessment of Scenarios for Promoting Employment of People with Disabilities in Latvia
Authors: Oborenko Zaiga , Rivza Baiba , Rivza Peteris 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The employment of people with disabilities has multidimensional aspects - economic, social, legal, human rights, discrimination, psychological, ethical and responsibility aspects - with different actors involved representing various kinds of interests. The European Union Disability Action Plan and Strategy specifies the objective of promoting the employment of people with disabilities in the open labour market. The employment of such individuals is not only an economic issue, but also an issue of social inclusion, poverty reduction, equal opportunity and socially responsible employment. Effective and fair use of human resources for national economic development requires a variety of support mechanisms, including regulatory frameworks, the active involvement of local municipalities, and measures taken by state institutions. Because of the different issues and the various actors with different interests involved, an integrated way has to be considered to analyse the employment factors and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to explore and substantiate the possible scenarios associated with promotion employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Latvia. The research methodology employed for this study is based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, and expert interviews are used to analyse the interests of all involved parties, in order to determine the best possible scenarios as to how to stimulate employment for people with disabilities. As a result, three scenarios to promote the employment of people with disabilities were developed. Although the results showed slight differences between the three scenarios, experts believe that the optimal scenario for promoting the employment of people with disabilities is the one in which the EU participates.
The association of anthropometric parameters with markers of insulin and leptin secretion and resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Published: August 2020

Abstract

Aim: We evaluated the association between anthropometric parameters and markers of insulin and leptin secretion/resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Material and methods: This post-hoc data analysis from a cross-sectional study included 176 T2DM patients. Laboratory tests (serum leptin, soluble form of leptin receptor (sObR), C peptide, glycemic and lipid parameters) and anthropometric parameters were obtained, adiposity indexes (including body adiposity index (BAI), visceral adiposity index (VAI)), indicators of insulin resistance, β-cell function, and leptin resistance (Free Leptin Index, FLI) were calculated.

Results: The body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, VAI and leptin correlated independently with HOMA-IR, while BMI, diabetes duration and HbA1c with HOMA-B. The total body fat mass (TBFM), C peptide, diabetes duration, BMI and BAI correlated with leptin concentrations, while the first three with FLI. VAI was an indicator of insulin resistance (β=0.166, p=0.003), while BAI of leptin secretion (β=0.260, p=0.010). TBFM strongly associated with leptin resistance and secretion (β=0.037, r=0.688, p<0.0001, and β=0.521, r=0.667, p<0.0001), and BMI correlated weakly with insulin secretion and resistance. While insulin and leptin secretion increased progressively with BMI, leptin and insulin resistance became significant only in case of obesity. The sObR was significantly associated with C peptide concentrations (β=-0.032; p=0.044), but not with HOMA-B or -IR. A strong positive correlation between the C peptide/leptin ratio and non-fat mass /TBFM ratio was noted (r=0.62 [0.52, 0.71], p<0.0001).
Conclusions: Parameters of peripheral adiposity correlated better with markers of leptin system, and those of visceral adiposity with markers of insulin secretion/resistance. The sObR correlated independently and negatively with C peptide.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the changes of some oxidative stress parameters following an experimental urethral injury.
Materials and Methods: 24 Wistar-Albino male rats were used and 18 of them were exposed to urethral injury. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) values in bladder and penile tissues and sera of rats during creation and healing stages of injury (control, day-1, 7 and 21) were examined and evaluated histopathologically.

Results: TOS levels in both tissue and serum groups increased nearly 4x fold in first day following injury. On the seventh day, TOS levels of bladder and penile tissue showed a nearly 50% decrease according to first day (p=0.005; p=0.025, respectively). At the end of third week, while bladder TOS levels decreased to control values, penile tissue TOS levels remained at high levels. The bladder TAC values mildly increased in first day (p=0.026) and then returned to normal levels in seventh day and continued to decrease down by half of control levels at the end of third week (p=0.005). TAC levels of penile tissue increased twofold in first day (p=0.021) and remained at same high levels for three weeks.

Conclusion: We observed that first day after traumatic urethral injury seems to be very important for evaluation of traumatic injuries and wound healing. We believe when an urethral injury was occured, both urethra and bladder should be handled with care and without delay during urethral healing, because of the presence of oxidative changes in bladder.
Phrasing the giant: on the importance of rigour in literature search process

Literature is the noblest of all the arts. Music dies on the air, or at best exists only in memory; oratory ceases with the effort; the painter’s colors fade and the canvas rots; the marble is dragged from its pedestal and is broken into fragments.
Elbert Hubbard
At a very early age, we start to develop a sense of playfulness. We touch things, we build things, we break them apart. Soon after we begin to utter words. We babble, we squeal, we try to imitate. Music begins to inform our bodily movements. What develops last and continues to develop throughout our waking lives is connections of words. The essential and characteristic features of words used to describe things within and around us are the hardest to grapple with. The same word can be expressed in different ways and could mean different things in different contexts. Literature, being the written expression of words in its various forms, has progressively shaped our world view.
Liberal news outlets around the world have been stressing recurrently that words matter, as the imagination of some politicians’ is set loose and boundaries to what one may say seem not to exist. However, despite this current societal struggle to adhere to facts, namely amid the current pandemic, science has remained irreducible in its systematic approach supported by the scientific method where facts and doubt do co-exist as a process towards the discovery and construction of new knowledge.

<p><em>The frequent media reports on the unethical conduct of business and non-business practitioners has made the roles of universities in equipping organisation leaders with ethics are in question. They are required to foster a better learning environment that enables prospective leaders to enhance their moral sensitivity and appreciate the importance of ethics in their personal and professional life. Academic and non-academic staff of the institutions are in the front line of providing ethical role model to the students. Considering these influential roles an examination of the ethical attitudes of the staff is a good start. A code of ethics has been considered as a symbol of an organisation to preserve and promote ethical concerns.

Los tenderos han implantado una forma de trabajar prestando un gran servicio a la comunidad donde estos se desenvuelven, en la compra y venta de productos al detal, pero, a pesar de la gran labor que realizan, estos desconocen la magnitud de pérdidas que tienen en el manejo y comercialización de sus productos, debido a que hoy en día, la gran mayoría están haciendo la gestión de su negocio de forma manual; apoyándose en cuadernos con cuentas por cobrar a los clientes, fólderes con las facturas de compras a los proveedores, inventario al ojo, entre otras actividades de la tienda. De igual forma, los tenderos, desconocen utilidades reales en sus negocios; de allí que se les hace necesario poseer una herramienta informática que les ayude a solucionar este problema, el cual es sin duda alguna un Software con una interfaz amigable y personalizada; que les permita mejorar sus prácticas comerciales, optimizar la gestión y control de sus productos, ofrecer precios justos a los clientes, obtener mejores utilidades, cumplir con los requerimientos de entidades financieras y/o proveedores, e ir incursionando en lo que inevitablemente es el desarrollo tecnológico, ya que estos no pueden, ni deben quedarse en el manejo obsoleto de sus negocios, que en su momento fue valido, pero, en la actualidad se utiliza un contexto tecnológico, como es el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TICS) y el marketing los cuales ayudaran a tener un manejo eficiente y eficaz de todas sus labores administrativas. Por la situación descrita anteriormente, TECNAR como institución de educación superior acreditada institucionalmente y preocupada por el manejo que los tenderos le están dando a sus negocios, un grupo de docentes y estudiantes de las Facultades de Diseño e Ingeniería y de Ciencias Económicas, crearon un proyecto interdisciplinario, diseñando un aplicativo informático orientado a la WEB, llamado TECNOTIENDAS. Estos sistemas de información, ingeniería de software y aplicación de las tecnologías de la información serán aplicadas a las necesidades de las organizaciones.
Recurso contencioso administrativo funcionarial en el proceso venezolano
Authors: Bermúdez Briceño Adriana 
Published: August 2020

La jurisdicción contencioso administrativa funcionarial, es la instancia que se encarga de controlar, vigilar y corregir, si es necesario, la actuación u omisión del Poder Público a través de sus distintos niveles, en lo referente a la relación laboral que lo vincula con los empleados. En la actualidad se pronuncian sentencias o decisiones judiciales en materia contencioso funcionarial que terminan de manera anormal el litigio; esto es, sentencias que se dictan sin analizar ni decidir sobre el fondo del asunto debatido. Esto puede afectar o perjudicar los derechos y beneficios que provienen de la relación de empleo público, cuyas consecuencias están dirigidos contra las personas que prestan sus servicios bajo la dependencia del Estado Venezolano. En este sentido, la investigación que se realizó busca impulsar el conocimiento en materia contencioso administrativa y así evitar la interposición del recurso funcionarial por parte de los empleados públicos; y evitar que sea resuelta de manera anómala; pues, de materializarse tal resolución anormal, impediría al Juez decidir sobre la reclamación o pretensión que impulsó al Aparato Jurisdiccional Tribunales en materia contencioso funcionarial.

Abstract The rise of ride-sourcing service for cities mobility has change how people do travel and consequently disrupt transport ecosystem. This paper explore the travel behavior of ride-sourcing users based on travellers’ previous modes using discriminant analysis. For the purpose, the study collected data from a survey in the Bandung City in 2018. Analysis confirms the substitution effect of ride-sourcing from both private and public transport. Substitution effect occur from public transport than private car that tend to associated with younger traveller which have limitation access for private transport. The analysis found that ride-sourcing might be used for specific purposes only rather than for daily commuting, especially for users who previously use private car. Keywords: ridesourcing, previous mode, public transport, travel behavior Abstrak Munculnya penggunaan angkutan online dalam mobilitas perkotaan telah mengubah cara orang melakukan perjalanan dan akibatnya mengganggu ekosistem transportasi.
