Prayer Book Reform in Europe, Continued
Authors: Boeckler Annette M. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe classic bibliography of European Progressive prayer books appeared in 1968 (Jakob J. Petuchowski, Prayerbook Reform in Europe). It provided a chronological bibliography of prayer book publications in Europe from the very first in 1816 until ‘The Service of the Heart’, published in 1967. Based on these sources Petuchowski depicted the typical features of Progressive Jewish liturgy and their developments. European Progressive Jewish liturgy has developed a lot since then. During the last forty-eight years several new liturgical issues and themes arose. These will be described in the second part of this article. The first part aims to present a complete chronological bibliography of European Progressive liturgy from 1967 till 2015.1
The Ninetieth Anniversary of the World Union for Progressive Judaism
Authors: Hirsch Richard G. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe ninetieth anniversary of the World Union enables us to highlight our achievements. In 1973 we moved the international headquarters from New York to Jerusalem and built a magnificent cultural/educational centre there. We pioneered the development of a dynamic Reform/Progressive movement in Israel consisting of congregations, kibbutzim, an Israel religious action centre and educational, cultural and youth programmes. We became active leaders in the Jewish Agency for Israel and the World Zionist Organization. We established synagogues and educational programmes in the Former Soviet Union, Europe, Latin America and the Far East, thus fulfilling our mandate to perpetuate Jewish life wherever Jews live. We formulated an ideology of Reform Zionism as an antidote to the contracting Jewish identity induced by contemporary diaspora conditions. Whereas we encourage aliyah for Jews who want to live in Israel, we are adamantly opposed to those who advocate aliyah as a positive response to anti-Semitism. Instead, we demand that European democracies guarantee equal rights and full security to Jews as well as to all other groups in society.
Liberale Judentum and British Reform Jews
Authors: Bayfield Tony 
Published: May 2021

AbstractTwo narratives dominate British Jewry: (1) Do not get too close to wider society or you will assimilate physically and theologically; and (2) The only future for Jews is in Israel. Ned Curthoys in The Legacy of Liberal Judaism identifies the German Liberale tradition as offering a third option – engagement. First, engage both to learn from wider society and contribute distinctively to it. Second, question the justice of society out of the Jewish experience of injustice. Third, include uncomfortable minorities and subversive voices; do not create pariahs. Fourth, maintain a cautious optimism about collaborating beyond narrow nationalisms to create a better society. It is possible this alternative has been proven vain by history but we have no alternative but to try again. It is not a comfortable place but it is a good place to be.
Queer Jews Talking Their Way in
Authors: Adler Rachel 
Published: May 2021

AbstractA tradition is a centuries-long conversation about the goods and concerns of the philosophical or religious systems in which these goods and concerns inhere. LGBTQ Jews are the latest newcomers to Judaism’s conversation. Entering an established conversation places stressful demands upon incomers and veteran participants alike but enlarges and enriches the discourse. LGBTQ participants bring new topics and categories concerning gender that challenge participants of longer standing. Bringing to the existing categories and topics of the tradition experiences of which it was unaware implicitly requires that those topics be reexamined in the light of new data and situations. All this revitalizes the conversation.
A Totem and a Taboo
Authors: Schonfield Jeremy 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThis article discusses two academic events devoted to Holocaust studies in which participants became unconsciously involved in re-enacting the behaviour respectively of Holocaust perpetrators, and of victims turning aggressively on each other in a manner reminiscent of ghetto life. In one conference an out-group was created and silenced, while in another an individual became the object of projected guilt and was victimized. These projections were mediated by implied competition between film, sculpture and literature as the medium best suited to Holocaust memorialization. A description of each event is followed by analyses of the dynamics involved, with the support of psychoanalytic literature. Factors which led to the author’s twenty-year delay in publishing the article, which was drafted in 1995, are also examined psychologically.
The Concept of the Victim in Midrashic Literature
Authors: Weinberg Joanna 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe creative authors of the Midrashim treated the topic of ‘the persecuted’ or ‘the victim’ in a constellation of fascinating homilies on the lectionary portion for Passover. This short article will examine how the theme of persecution is elaborated in various midrashic texts, and point to similarities between rabbinic exegesis and Jewish Hellenistic and Christian Syriac discussions of the same theme.
Religion and Organisation
Authors: Blue Lionel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
This conference sermon delivered to the UK Reform Jewish movement (Reform Synagogues of Great Britain) in 1965 explored the challenges facing this growing religious organisation, ‘a worldly instrument to serve non-worldly purposes’. What are the traps that have to be recognized and avoided? Does God become the rationalization for our prejudices? How do we relate to issues in the Jewish and wider world? Inside the complex bureaucratic system, how do we find place for the freedom of religious experience?
Convening
Authors: Blue Lionel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
In this article, Lionel Blue describes the role played by the Beth Din, the Jewish religious court, of the UK Reform Jewish movement, of which he was the Convenor. He writes with humour of the way he tried to humanize what might otherwise be a strange and daunting experience for people. The court deals with conversion to Judaism, issues of Jewish status, legal matters associated with divorce. He describes the emphasis that has to be placed on supporting the individuals facing these deeply personal life-changing situations. Beyond the purely traditional legal issues and formality, greater attention and understanding should be given to the relationships people actually enter into today, and to the people themselves, their needs and their possibilities.
Inklings
Authors: Blue Lionel 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The three essays collected here are occasional pieces Lionel Blue contributed to the magazine Manna, The Forum for Progressive Judaism, edited by Rabbi Tony Bayfield. They address: his experience visiting monasteries and convents, his observations and what he gained from them; the changing stages in Jewish-Christian dialogue and what the next steps might be; the paradoxes of religion and the temptations of idolatry.
Deproblematizing The Merchant of Venice
Authors: Wooster Roger 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The Merchant of Venice remains a ‘problem play’ for contemporary production. Whether the play is inherently antisemitic or not, it remains one of the most popular of the canon. I will consider how actors and their directors can, with the wisdom imparted by twentieth-century psychology and Stanislavskian-derived ideas of objectives, circumstances and subtext, seek to circumvent the challenges and infuse problematic text with more acceptable interpretations. Possible reinterpretations of Shylock are centrally considered, but the characters and motives of Jessica, Portia, Antonio and Bassanio are also scrutinized. Such re-evaluation of the underlying motivations seems a reasonable resolution for keeping the text intact while undermining any inherent negative stereotyping. However, once we admit of this subversion of a writer’s intentions, what might the consequences be if there are those who wish to use the same tools to create anti-humanitarian theatre?
Riding alone on the elevator

Published: May 2021

Abstract
The ability to conduct interdisciplinary research is crucial to address complex real-world problems that require the collaboration of different scientific fields, with global warming being a case in point. To produce integrated climate-related knowledge, climate researchers should be trained early on to work across boundaries and gain an understanding of diverse disciplinary perspectives. This article argues for social breaching as a methodology to introduce students with a natural science background to the social sciences in the context of integrated climate sciences. The breach of a social norm presented here was to ask people whether the experimenter could ride on an elevator alone. We conclude that the approach is effective in letting students with a natural science background explore and experience the power of social reality, and is especially suitable for a small-sized introductory class.
Humans “in the Loop”?
Authors: Mellamphy Nandita Biswas 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
More and more scholarly attention is being paid to the challenges of governing artificial intelligence and emergent technologies. Most of the focus remains on questions of how to preserve the human-centeredness of increasingly advancing machine-driven technologies. I problematize discourses of “human-centered AI” that prioritize human control over nonhuman intelligences as a solution for the challenges posed by emergent technologies like artificial intelligence. Posthumanism provides a compelling theoretical basis for this line of questioning and for reimagining alternative ethical constructs. I outline and consider three distinct scenarios in which (a) humans are at the center of command and control, (b) humans and nonhumans share control, (c) human oversight is completely removed. I suggest that more attention could be given to critical and speculative ways of reimagining the concepts of “human,” “nonhuman,” and human/nonhuman relations.
Contested Memory
Authors: Dladla Ndumiso 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
South Africa since 1994 is widely represented as a society which has broken both historically and politically with white supremacy. One of the central discursive pillars sustaining this representation is the appeal to the most recent South African constitution Act 108 of 1996, the founding provisions of which declare that South Africa is founded on the value of non-racialism. The central argument of this article is that an examination of the philosophical underpinnings of the non-racialism of the constitution can give us a better understanding of why and how South Africa remains a racial polity despite the coming into effect of the constitution. We will conclude the article by considering the ethical and political demands which must be met before the actuality of non-racialism may be experienced.
Pan-Africanism and Epistemologies of the South
Authors: Mungwini Pascah 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The topic of pan-Africanism today brings to the fore questions of the unfinished humanistic project of decolonisation in Africa. When Kwasi Wiredu (1996) calls for the need for conceptual decolonisation in Africa, he recognises the intellectual price the continent continues to pay as a result of conceptual confusions and distortions caused by a colonial conceptual idiom implanted in the African mind. Reflecting on the potential which the ideology of pan-Africanism holds for the continent’s future, my position is that the same passion and energy which brought about political independence should now be redirected to the epistemic front. A new form of pan-Africanism on the intellectual front is required to galvanise Africans to develop and deploy in their thinking veritable categories of analysis born out of the experiences of being African in Africa. It is in the generation and application of these alternative epistemologies that the future of the continent lies.

Kurzes Zeitfenster für die Fichtennaturverjüngung in Gebirgsnadelwäldern
In den vergangenen 30 Jahren wurden Schweizer Gebirgsnadelwälder stellenweise mit Kahlhieben verjüngt und nicht mit kleinen Lücken, wie dies bei der Gebirgsplenterung üblich ist. Wie sich die Entwicklung in den entstandenen Bestandeslücken nach 13 bis 29 Jahren präsentiert, wurde in zehn Kahlhieben in der Südostschweiz und im Tessin mit Luftbildanalysen und Stichprobeninventuren untersucht. Historische Luftbilder dienten zur Erfassung der Bestandesgeschichte und der Kronendachöffnung vor dem Schlag. Mit Stichprobeninventuren wurden die aktuelle Baumverjüngung und die Kleinstandorte inklusive Bodenbedeckung erhoben. Die Dichte der Verjüngung zwischen 10 cm Höhe und 12 cm Brusthöhendurchmesser (BHD) lag im Mittel bei 5450 St./ha, wovon 71% Fichten waren. Der hohe Mittelwert kam durch Probeflächen mit sehr dichter Verjüngung zustande. Die Fichtenverjüngung stellte sich zum Grossteil nach dem Holzschlag ein; Vorverjüngung war im Nachwuchs (130 cm Höhe bis 12 cm BHD) zu 30% vorhanden. Die Vorverjüngung war dichter in Probeflächen, in denen der Vorbestand schon aufgelichtet gewesen war. Die höchsten Dichten der Nachverjüngung traten bei mittlerer bis hoher Kronendeckung vor dem Holzschlag auf. Verdämmende Konkurrenzvegetation reduzierte die Dichte der Vor- und der Nachverjüngung. Die Präsenz von Moderholz und Baumstümpfen war mit einer höheren Verjüngungsdichte verbunden, Wildhuftierverbiss dagegen mit einer geringeren. Bei wenig Konkurrenzvegetation tritt unmittelbar nach dem Schlagen einer grossen Lücke eine Phase mit hoher Verjüngungsgunst auf, in der die Verjüngung oft gelingt. Auf Standorten hingegen, die zur Bildung einer dichten Konkurrenzvegetation neigen, stellt sich die Verjüngung nur zögerlich ein, und sie ist auf Moderholz und Baumstümpfe angewiesen.

Neue Waldstandort-Hinweiskarte Graubündens zur Ermittlung sensitiver Standorte und Bestände
Kenntnisse der Waldstandorttypen sind grundlegend, um den heutigen Zustand und die künftige Entwick-lung des Waldes zu verstehen. Insbesondere in Schutzwäldern ist entscheidend, wie widerstands- und anpassungsfähig die heutigen Bestände sind. Die komplett überarbeitete, flächendeckende Waldstandort- Hinweiskarte für den Kanton Graubünden ist ein wichtiges Planungsinstrument: Sie dient als Grundlage für die Bestimmung von Standorten und Beständen, die empfindlich auf den Klimawandel reagieren könnten. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht sie es, flächendeckende Baumartenempfehlungen für die Zukunft zu erstellen.

Authors: Akhbar Nugroho , Erie B. P. Setya Budi Andar  
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Head injury is a major cause of death, especially in young adults and a major cause of disability. The incidence of head injuries is increasing due to the increasing use of motorized vehicles. As many as 4% of cases of head fracture occur in the base of the cranii.
Method: This research used a descriptive observational method. The data used is secondary data taken from medical records. In this study, we wanted to know the incidence of cranii base fracture cases due to head trauma in patients treated at Dr. Kariadi period 2019.
Result: From 29 samples of medical records obtained, 48.3% had mild head trauma, 27.6% had moderate head trauma, and 24.1% had severe head trauma. Symptoms of patients with the most clinical symptoms of cranii base fracture were raccoon eyes 51.7%, with the most fracture locations in the anterior fossa as much as 51.7%.
Conclusion: The incidence of cranii fracture due to head trauma at RSUP Dr. Kariadi in 2019 was found mostly over 40 years old and most of them were men. The type of injury is a minor head injury, with the largest location in the anterior fossa, and the most common clinical sign found in patients with cranii fracture is raccoon eyes.

This study was designed to explore the gross and microscopic structures of the testes of Black Bengal bucks (n = 14) with special emphasis on the seminiferous tubules. A quantitative comparison of the various cell types in the seminiferous tubules of the testes were done. Biometrical values of testes were recorded. The left testes were significantly larger than the right. The mean length, width, weight and circumference of the left testis were 6.7 ± 0.1 cm, 3.9 ± 0.0 cm, 66.9 ± 0.8 gm and 13.4 ± 0.2 cm, respectively. The mean length, width, weight and circumference of the right testis were 6.3 ± 0.0 cm, 3.8 ± 0.0 cm, 66.5 ± 0.8 gm and 13.1 ± 0.1 cm, respectively. For microscopic studies tissue samples were evaluated with quantitative techniques. The testis was encapsulated by tunica toward the mediastinum testis. The testicular parenchyma was divided into convoluted seminiferous tubules and Leydig cells, which were found in the intertubular spaces.

Authors: Pogoy Jane Marnel , Cutamora Jezyl Cempron 
Published: May 2021

Background: Limited studies focus on the effects of the pandemic on the nurses' overall risks and wellbeing. At present, no single study has been published on Filipino nurses’ experiences outside the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.Objective: This descriptive phenomenological study explored the Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) nurses’ experiences working in COVID-19 intensive care units.Methods: The study was conducted in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where there is a high number of COVID-19 cases. This study utilized a qualitative Husserlian phenomenological approach to describe and explore the lived experiences of the OFW nurses’ caring for COVID-19 critically ill patients. The research key interview informants were eight ICU nurses who cared for COVID-19 patients in Dubai hospitals. Data saturation was reached. Data collection was done in 2020, and Collaizi’s method of data analysis was utilized.Results: A total of 135 significant statements were extracted from the interview transcripts. There were 36 formulated meanings generated, and four themes emerged from this study. The first theme is Challenges During the Pandemic with the following subthemes: Away from Home, Caring for the COVID-19 Patients, and Fear of the Unknown. The second theme is Patient Care during COVID-19 with the following subthemes: COVID-19 ICU Patient Care and The Nursing Profession. Third, Adapting to Change with the subthemes: Living the New Normal and Protecting One’s Self from COVID-19. Lastly, Resilience Amidst the Pandemic with the following subthemes: Being with Others and Seeing Oneself.Conclusion: Despite the existing challenges like cultural differences and homesickness faced by these OFW nurses and the new challenges they are faced with the pandemic today, they were still able to continue living and do what is expected of them. From the hassle of wearing the PPEs, shortage of PPE, and being transferred from one unit in the hospital to another, the OFW nurses were able to adapt to these changes. The nurses already got used to the routine, but the fear of getting infected by the virus is still there.
Metastasis of cN0 Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma of the Isthmus to the Lymph Node Posterior to the Right Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

Published: May 2021

ObjectiveThe association between metastasis to the lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN) and cN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) located in the thyroid isthmus remains unknown; therefore, our goal was to analyze the characteristics of LN-prRLN metastasis of cN0 PTCs of the thyroid isthmus and determine its potential predictors.Patients and methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent bilateral central neck dissection between January 2018 and January 2021. The specimen was divided into five groups of prelaryngeal lymph node (LN), pretracheal LN, left paratracheal LN, lymph node anterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-arRLN), and LN-prRLN. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the association between the clinical pathologic variables and LN-prRLN metastases. Surgical complications were presented descriptively.ResultsA total of 357 patients were included, LN-prRLN metastasis occurred in 23 (6.4%) patients, and LN-prRLN was positive only when there were other LN metastases, especially LN-arRLN metastases. Other independent risk factors for LN-prRLN included foci numbers ≥2, tumor size ≥5.0 mm, and extrathyroidal extensions. The rates of permanent hypoparathyroidism and vocal cord paralysis were 1.1% and 2.0%, respectively.ConclusionLN-prRLN metastases should not be ignored in cN0 PTC located in the thyroid isthmus; however, its dissection is a safe procedure, and the status of LN-arRLN can be a reliable predictor for LN-prRLN metastases.
