Caminhar e escutar — O prelúdio de William Wordsworth
Authors: Nestrovski Sofia 
Published: March 2019

William Wordsworth é tido como um dos pais do Romantismo inglês — mas, como seria se pensássemos que, em consonância com o que ele escreveu, “a criança é o pai do homem”? Isto é: e se lêssemos seus poemas a partir de concepções posteriores que se têm sobre o “Romantismo”, ou até mesmo sobre concepções posteriores sobre “Wordsworth”, e as colocássemos diante de seus poemas? Para isso, este texto levanta questões sobre a natureza, o sublime e a criação individual dentro de sua poesia.
Children and the Sayings Source Q: What the Double Tradition Reveals about Q’s Attitude toward Children (Q 11:19-20; 12:53; 14:26; and 17:1-2)
Authors: Murphy James 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This essay seeks to contribute to the growing scholarship on children in biblical studies, and while studies of children in the Gospels have begun to emerge, no one has examined the hypothetical Sayings Source Q material specifically with children in mind. Are there children in Q? What can we learn of Q’s disposition toward children? This essay adapts K.S. Han’s method of “allegiance types” (2002) for determining Q’s attitude toward the Jerusalem Temple to a childist reading of Q 11:19-20; 12:53; 14:26; and 17:1-2. In short, these four passages evidence only adult or adolescent children, and despite much household imagery, Q language often suggests an “imperiled” family unit so central to the lives of children. The findings may aid studies seeking to further define Q’s relationship to apocalypticism, “renewal” ideology, asceticism, or the endurance of the family unit.
Bridging the Digital Divide through Korea Cooperation

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is review the objectives and functions for which the Ghana-Korea Information Access Center (IAC) was set-up at the University of Ghana, Legon in 2012. This type of facility is one of the very few established in Ghana to bridge the digital divide through Ghana-Korea co-operation. Sharing information on its status and development will throw important light on a key Ghana-Korea Project in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, provide critical guidance for the development of future centres and lay the the basis for exploring possibilities for co-operation in ICT between the the two countries. The paper draws its data from interviews (involving users of the IAC) and documented information on the project. The paper traces the developmental processes (physical, institutional and administrative) for the setting up of the IAC and points up the lessons learnt.
Is the Saemaŭl Undong Initiative (the Korean Rural Development Strategy) a Compelling Exemplar for Ghana?
Authors: Adu Amoah Lloyd G. , Mills Leslie N. L. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
This paper examines Korea’s answer to the rural development challenge in the 1970s, the Saemaŭl Undong movement (SMU). As one of the revolutionary polices of Park Chung-Hee, it has been highlighted as contributing greatly to the South Korean economic miracle. There is consensus that it is a shining example of a successful rural development policy and has been widely documented. Given the signal achievements of the programme, this paper attempts to establish whether the SMU could be useful for Ghana as a lasting solution to rural underdevelopment. This paper presents a critical historical background of the SMU and how it was executed highlighting in particular the factors that were crucial to the success of the initiative. The Korean explications are then set against an overview of Ghana’s attempts at rural development in an attempt to account for the reasons why Ghana has not been as successful at this task. Our conclusion is that the SMU can serve as a repository of best practices and outline lessons therefrom to guide the formulation and implementation of an integrated, home-grown rural development strategy to ensure the best possible chance of success of such a strategy.
Development Failures in Ghana, Development Miracles in Asia: Whither the Africa Rising?
Authors: Ayelazunoa Jasper Abembia , Mawuko-Yevugahb Lord 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In the 1960s, the economic development of African countries such as Ghana was on par with Asian countries like South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia. Fast forward to the 2000s and a totally different picture emerges: Ghana lagged far behind its Asian counterparts in most development indicators, something that exemplifies the broader case of postcolonial African states unpropitious of development. Paradoxically, a new intellectual fad has emerged in the 2000s claiming ‘Africa is rising’, potentially, to replicate the development model of the Asian tigers. This discourse is based mostly on spurts of economic growth of African countries rich in natural resources like oil and gold, a growth driven by a spike in world market prices of these commodities in the second decade of the 21st century. When the world prices of these commodities plummeted precipitously a few years later, countries like Ghana, cited as signal examples of the ‘Africa rising’ mantra, went into deep economic crises. The IMF had to bail them out. Meanwhile, despite the global economic downturn, Ghana’s Asian counterparts managed to muddle through, still far ahead of it in most indicators of development. In contrast to the Africa Rising discourses, this paper draws on the insights of critical international political economy to leverage our understanding of the contrasting development paths African states and their Asian counterparts have taken in the immediate postcolonial period; and more recently, the period following immediately after the global economic downtown. Despite its weaknesses, indeed, despite the refutation of its cruder claims, we argue that dependency theory is still rich with useful analytical insights that can unravel the African development paradox in the 21st century vis-à-vis the development miracle of the Asian tigers.
Re-Framing Ghana-Korea People to People Solidarity
Authors: Khoo-Dzisi Agnes 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Movements of people between Africa and Asia have exponentially increased beyond diplomatic exchanges and development aid under neo-liberal globalisation. Similarly, Ghana-Korea encounters have expanded to people-to-people engagement, including sports and entertainment in recent years. This chapter explores new forms of people-to-people exchanges that go beyond ‘Ghana as the football nation’ and ‘Korea as the Samsung Republic’. The focus is to explore innovative ways of bridging cultures and transcending boundaries. This paper relies on primary data (participation observation, interviews) and secondary data (published academic, government and ephemeral material) to highlight new areas of collaboration, ranging from commerce and investment, academic exchanges, collaboration in art and cultural endeavours, and the merging of these areas in a mutually beneficial way. Korea can learn from Ghana’s cultural diversity and tolerance; Ghana can benefit from Korea’s success in turning its art and cultural industries into an important export. In considering new forms of Ghanaian-Korean cooperation that transcends the traditional paradigm, starting from the grassroots, critical perspectives and approaches are examined for building a sustainable partnership based on mutual respect and understanding.
Ghana-Korea Relations Research: A-State-of-the-Art Review
Authors: Ayee Joseph R. A. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Even though scholars have written on Ghana-Korea relations over the past forty years, there is a lacuna in the literature because there is no “one-stop shop” from which one could easily access the literature. The problem is that scholarly works on Ghana-Korea relations are scattered in books and journals which has made undertaking research on the relations between the two countries a bit Herculean. The purpose of this article is therefore to fill the lacuna and provide a state-of-the-art on some key themes in Ghana-Korea relations which have emerged and yet scattered in scholarly works. They include culture and society; governance and leadership; economy; bilateral relations (including political, economic and technical cooperation); and science and education. The methodology employed is desktop research through the consultation of government publications, books and articles.
Textual Silences and Literary Choices in al-Kisāʾī’s Account of the Annunciation and the Birth of Jesus
Authors: Blatherwick Helen 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The story of the Annunciation to Mary and the birth of Jesus in the Qurʾān and the Bible has been the subject of several recent literary studies that bring up the use of textual silences, and the significance of speech and speechlessness as themes in the text. This paper focuses on three recensions of the story available to us in printed editions of al-Kisāʾī’s Qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʾ in similar vein, through intertextual comparison of these accounts with Mary stories as told in the Qurʾān, premodern qiṣaṣ collections, and Islamic historiographical sources. By comparing al-Kisāʾī’s accounts of the Annunciation with those told in the Qurʾān and the wider Islamic Mary corpus it is possible to gain insight into the author’s literary agenda, and also into the ways in which he draws on the wider narrative pool for his material, makes reference to the Qurʾān, and manipulates theme and characterisation.
The European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy, the Right to Self-determination and Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources
Authors: Prickartz Anne-Carlijn 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In Front Polisario and Western Sahara Campaign UK, the European Court of Justice applied the principles of self-determination and permanent sovereignty over natural resources, deciding that the various international agreements concluded with Morocco, including the Fisheries Partnership Agreement and its 2013 Protocol, should be interpreted as excluding Western Sahara’s territory and adjacent waters. These cases and Western Sahara’s situation more generally raise several questions regarding the external aspect of the European Union’s (EU) Common Fisheries Policy and the impact of international law on the EU’s fisheries agreements. In particular, the principle of self-determination may require the scope of application of the EU’s fisheries agreements to be (more) limited to safeguard the interests of those peoples protected by the principles of self-determination and permanent sovereignty over natural resources. This article outlines the continued influence of the principle of self-determination, including its influence on the actions of the EU.
Indo-Iranian Lullabies
Authors: Ronzitti Rosa 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The following paper is concerned with a comparison between the Vedic hymn RV VII 55 and the Vīdēvdād chapter XVIII 16. It is argued that little lullaby-themes, aimed at quieting men as well as animals, have come to be included into sacral and religious texts from popular sources (e.g. magical charms to be performed on sleepless babies), revealing Proto-Indo-European formulae and stylistic patterns that can be reconstructed. A Hittite text and some fragments of Greek poems by Simonides and Alcman are also included in the list of the passages to be compared.
The Knowledge of Human Marks in Jain Medieval Narratives
Authors: Chojnacki Ch. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Apart from exegetical texts and short edifying stories, Jain monks wrote several literary narratives in Sanskrit, Prakrit, or Apabhraṃśa, between the 8th and 12th centuries. While they aimed at creating works as sophisticated as Hindu kāvyas in their style and plot, they also included technical passages borrowed from various knowledge systems. One of them is the science of physiognomy, which deals with human marks and their interpretation. In the past decade, K. Zysk has studied this knowledge in various Hindu and Buddhist sources and proposed several hypotheses as regards the development of the science of physiognomy in India. Since passages included in the long Jain medieval narratives have not been taken into account so far, this paper aims at exploring to what extent these sources can throw further light on the gradual establishment of this knowledge system and on its channels of transmission in India.
Fire, the Greatest God (ātarš … mazišta yazata)
Authors: Cantera Alberto 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The lack of evidence for the existence of fire temples in ancient Iran has been used as an argument for the absence of the concept of the “eternal fire” in the Avestan texts. However, a new analysis of the final section of the Long Liturgy shows that the fire was usually removed from the sacrificial area before the recitation of Yasna 62.7 and transported back to the “house of men” from which it had been taken. As such, the Long Liturgy partly appears as a functional equivalent of the bōy dādan ceremonies performed for the feeding of the fire at the fire temples in later times. This new reading of the final section of the liturgy is the result of a re-evaluation of the manuscripts, highlighting the shortcomings of previous editions of the Long Liturgy. Furthermore, the new interpretation approaches the Long Liturgy from a non Yasna-centric perspective, taking into account the Yasna as well as the Visperad (and other variants).
Beyond State versus Non-state Dichotomy: The State Hermitage Museum as a Russian Diplomacy ‘Hybrid’
Authors: Grincheva Natalia 
Published: March 2019

Summary
This article explores the overlooked role of museums in the international arena as playing a dual role in cultural diplomacy. It explores the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to illustrate an emerging ‘hybrid’ form of diplomacy that cannot be strictly defined as ‘state’ or ‘non-state’. Although the article documents strong ties between the Hermitage Museum and the Russian government, it also reveals the Hermitage’s growing capacity to build productive bilateral cultural relationships with foreign partners, bypassing governmental control. Specifically, the article looks at the international network of Hermitage Foundations as a successful museum international outreach and fundraising campaign that significantly contributes to the Russian government’s efforts in cultural diplomacy. This case offers new empirical findings from the non-Western context, exposing the growing role of museums in contemporary diplomacy.
The United Nation’s Capability to Manage Existential Risks with a Focus on Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Nindler Reinmar 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Human technology develops exponentially, opening up enormous possibilities, but also posing dangers, arguably even so-called “existential risks” for humankind. Artificial general intelligence is a potentially extremely powerful technology, which could also pose an existential risk to humanity. This article assesses the United Nation (UN)’s institutional and legal capability to manage existential risks, with a special focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and also analyses the UN’s responsibility and competence to manage existential risks. Shortcomings with regard to the UN’s capability to manage existential risks are being explored as well as several potential options to strengthen this capability, such as an international treaty to regulate AI research and development, an international enforcement agency for safe AI research and development and the use of force as ultima ratio. The UN will have to overhaul its structure and modus operandi to be fit for the challenges posed by the safe development of strong AI.
‘Dayak, Wake Up’
Authors: Großmann Kristina 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Struggles over land are a vibrant issue in today’s Indonesia and especially pressing in Central Kalimantan, as it is the new frontier of coal extraction. The mining areas overlap with the land used by ethnic groups, all subsumed under the term ‘Dayak’. Linking to ethnic revitalization since the 2000s, the Dayak Misik (Dayak, wake up) scheme promises ‘indigenous Dayak’ to secure formal rights to land. In the framework of what I call ‘frontier ecologies’, members of the ethnic group Murung implemented the scheme and may be successful in securing access and rights to land in the future. However, the semi-nomadic Punan Murung rejected the programme because it contradicts their dynamic approach to space in the framework of place-based, interrelated ecologies. Thus, essentializations and instrumentalizations of ethnicity and the constitution of space affirm current hegemonial notions of land and indigenous rights, in which either people or plurality are excluded.
Impacts of MJO Convection over the Maritime Continent on Eastern China Cold Temperatures
Authors: Song Lei , Wu Renguang 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The present study shows that winter cold events over eastern China can be induced by Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO)-associated anomalous convection over the Maritime Continent. We conduct composite analysis separately for identified intraseasonal cold events over eastern China that occur following anomalous convection over the Maritime Continent and the tropical Indian Ocean. For cold events related to anomalous convection over the Maritime Continent, the southward intrusion of cold air into eastern China takes an eastward path in association with an eastward location of an anomalous Siberian high compared to cold events related to anomalous convection over the tropical Indian Ocean. The Maritime Continent convection-related cold events tend to occur with a negative Arctic Oscillation (AO), whereas the relationship between the tropical Indian Ocean convection-related cold events and the AO is weak. Anomalous convective heating over the Maritime Continent triggers a poleward Rossby wave train, which, together with an AO-related southward wave train from northern Eurasia, contributes to the deepening of the East Asian trough. The poleward wave energy dispersion is similarly triggered by anomalous convective heating over the tropical Indian Ocean. In both types of cold events, anomalous tropical heating induces a meridional vertical circulation, with large-scale airmass convergence in the upper midtroposphere and descending of air on the northern branch of the vertical cell over Siberia. The upper-level mass convergence and the radiative cooling over Siberia work together for the enhancement and southeastward expansion of the Siberian high and the southward intrusion of cold anomalies to eastern China.
Investigating the Factors That Contribute to African Easterly Wave Intensity Forecast Uncertainty in the ECMWF Ensemble Prediction System
Authors: Elless Travis J. , Torn Ryan D. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Although there have been numerous studies documenting the processes/environments that lead to the intensification of African easterly waves (AEWs), only a few of these studies investigated the effect of those processes or the environment on the predictability of AEWs. Here, the large-scale modulation of AEW intensity predictability is evaluated using the 51-member ECMWF ensemble prediction system (EPS) during an active AEW period (July–September 2011–13). Forecasts are stratified based on the 72-h AEW intensity standard deviation (SD) to evaluate hypotheses for how different processes contribute to large forecast SD. While large and small SD forecasts are associated with similar baroclinic and barotropic energy conversions, forecasts with large SD are characterized by higher relative humidity values downstream of the AEW trough. These areas of higher humidity are also associated with higher precipitation and precipitation SD, suggesting that uncertainty associated with diabatic processes could be linked with large AEW intensity SD. Although water vapor is a strong function of longitude and phase of convectively coupled equatorial waves, the cases with large and small SD are characterized by similar longitude and wave phase, suggesting that AEWs occurring in certain locations or convectively coupled equatorial wave phases are not more or less predictable.
Treatment of restenosis in radiocephalic arteriovenous hemodialysis fistulas: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or drug-coated balloon
Authors: Haave Tina R , Manstad-Hulaas Frode , Brekken Reidar 
Published: March 2019

Background Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an established treatment of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis. Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are coated with an antiproliferative drug intended to decrease neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis. Purpose To investigate the patency after treatment of restenosis in radiocephalic AVFs with PTA versus DCB. Material and Methods A retrospective study comprising 26 patients, recruited from treatment registers, receiving at least one previous PTA and a re-intervention (13 PTAs and 13 DCBs) at the same anatomic location, were observed for 24 months. Patency after re-intervention was compared between the two cohorts. Furthermore, an intra-subject analysis, comparing patency before and after DCB, was performed in the DCB cohort. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to estimate the proportion of stenosis-free patients at different time points after treatment. Results After 12 and 24 months, the estimated proportions of stenosis-free patients were 61% and 31%, respectively, in the DCB cohort, compared to 40% and 15% in the PTA cohort. In the intra-subject analysis, 15% and 8% of the patients treated with PTA remained stenosis-free after 12 and 24 months, respectively. Patients treated with DCB had significantly longer patency than patients in the PTA cohort (median 16 vs. 5 months, respectively; P = 0.05). Additionally, in the intra-subject analysis, patency after DCB treatment exceeded PTA (median 16 vs. 5 months, respectively; P = 0.01). Conclusion Our results indicate that DCB angioplasty is associated with significantly improved patency in the treatment of restenosis in radiocephalic AVFs. A longer follow-up or randomized controlled trial is warranted.
