Le dialogue théologique entre l’Eglise orthodoxe et l’Eglise catholique
Cinquième session: Bari, 9-16 juin 1987
La session précédente de la commission mixte pour Ie dialogue entre l'Eglise catholique et les Eglises orthodoxes à Bari en 1986 était durement éprouvée par l'absence ou Ie départ de plusieurs Eglises orthodoxes. Elles voulaient protester contre l'exposition d'icónes macédoniennes au musée du Vatican, y voyant un signe de reconnaissance de l'autocéphalie de l'Eglise de Macédoine. Depuis lors, les Eglises orthodoxes réunies à Chambésy du 28 octobre au 6 novembre 1986 ont établi certaines lignes directrices pour la participation au dialogue. Elles ont proposé également de discuter sous peu certains problèmes épineux tels l'uniatisme et Ie prosélytisme qui constituent des facteurs négatifs entravant Ie dialogue avec les catholiques. Dans cette cinquième session les catholiques ont accepté ces propositions. Dans un proche avenir on va étudier ces épineux problèmes, mais il faudra bien préparer cette étude et en préciser l'objectif.
Après une longue discussion ou l'on a repris Ie texte concernant les sacrements de l'initiation, déjà traité et révisé en Crète 1984 et à Bari 1986, pour envisager cette fois-ci surtout Ie baptême par immersion et Ie baptême par effusion, on a pu aboutir à un document commun: Foi, sacrements et unité de l'Eglise. L'étude de l'autre document déjà préparé: Le sacrement de l'ordre (ordination) dans la structure sacramentelle de l'Eglise, n'a pas pu être entamée. Elle reste pour la session suivante. Celle-ci aura lieu dans Ie monastère de Nouveau Valamo en Finlande, en juin 1988.
Vechi: Een Christelijk-Humanistische Reactie op het Socialisme in Rusland
Authors: van den Bercken Wil 
Published: March 2023

Vekhi: a Christian Reaction on Socialism in Russia
In 1909 a group of 7 Russian christian thinkers published a collection of articles, called Vekhi, „Landmarks”, which evoked violent reactions in Russian society. Vekhi was a sharp criticism of the revolutionary intelligentsia’s philosophical, ethical, cultural and juridical concepts. Instead of the atheism , utilitarianism, collectivism and revolutionism of the then progressive intelligentsia the Vekhi authors propagated religious humanistic values such as personal responsibility, absolute ethics, the acknowledgement o f spiritual culture, the rights of the individual. In general they pointed out that moral and cultural self-improvement is more important for renewing society than external restructuring. The message of Vekhi is best formulated by N. Berdyaev, S. Bulgakov, S. Frank and B. Kistyakovski, whose articles can be considered as classical contributions to Russian intellectual culture.
The topicality o f the main themes of Vekhi in the current ethical renewal process in Soviet Russian society is striking. For a long time rejected as reactionaries the Russian thinkers from the beginning o f this century make a remarkable come-back in contemporary Soviet Russia and their thoughts are now dealt with sympathetically in Soviet media.
De Decoratie van de Altaarruimte in de Oude Kerk van het Antoniusklooster

The decoration of the sanctuary in the old church of St. Anthony’s Monastery The problem of Jephthah and his daughter
Four Old Testament scenes are depicted in the sanctuary of the old church of St. Anthony’s Monastery near the Red Sea, all figuring as a prefiguration of the Eucharist. On the north wall, from left to right, Isaiah and the Seraph (Is. 6, 1-7) and the meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek (Gen. 14, 17-21) are painted. On the south side follow, from left to right, the Sacrifice by Abraham (Gen. 22, 1-9) and Jephthah, sacrificing his daughter (Judges 11, 30-40). The first three scenes are well known in the sanctuaries of Egyptian churches (cf. the haikal of St. Marc, Deir abu Makar; the haikal of the church of the Virgin, Deir el Baramus), but of the last scene only one parallel is known, situated in the bema of the church of St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai (cf. K. Weitzmann, The Jephthah Panel, in: Dumbarton Oaks Papers 18 (1964) 342-352).
The question is why Jephthah was chosen for decorating such an important place in a church, near the altar. Churchfathers like John Chrysostom, Theodoret of Cyr and Anastasius of Sinai could not find words to condemn his deed in a most harsh way. However, some fathers have formed a quite different opinion. They (Origen, Aphraates, Ephraëm the Syrian) see this episode as a prefiguration of Christ’s Sacrifice. A close examination of these comments makes it possible to conclude that all four paintings are prefigurations of the Eucharist.
But a problem still to be solved is why Jephthah’s infanticide was chosen for this role while for example the sacrifice by Abel (Gen. 4, 4) would be a more suitable scene. In my opinion, this has something to do with the fact that both paintings are situated in a church in a monastery. Jephthah’s daughter obeyed her fat her and as a virgin she was dedicated to God. In a general sense, you can apply this description to the monk, who has to show obedience to his superior, Jives in celibacy and chastity and as a novice was also dedicated to God. In short, in this case the function of the room (the sanctuary) dictates the choice of the themes of the paintings, but there is a kind of, False-bottom’. The selection was made with a second theme in mind: monastic life.

Le dialogue théologique entre l'Eglise orthodoxe et l'Eglise catholique Septième session: Freising, 6-15 juin 1990.
Après avoir tracé la préparation de la session l‘auteur donne un aperçu succinct de la réunion qui a eu lieu à Freising (Allemagne). Depuis deux ans des sous-commissions avaient préparé un document intitulé „Conséquences ecclésiologiques et canoniques de la structure sacramentelle de l’Eglise. Conciliarité et autorité dans l’Eglise”. Mais les circonstances n’ont pas permis d’aborder ce problème. Toute la réunion fut dominée par Ie développement récent de la situation religieuse en Europe de l’Est. A cause des problèmes de l’uniatisme et du prosélytisme plusieurs Eglises orthodoxes n’ont pas voulu assister à la réunion. Ces problèmes se posen! d’une façon très aigue en Ucraine et en Roumanie et ils demandent une solution urgente. Toute la réunion a été consacrée à ce sujet: on a reçu des renseignements supplémentaires, donné des interprétations diverses et discuté des problèmes annexes comme la liberté religieuse et l’ecclésiologie qui se trouve à la base de l’uniatisme. On ne peut pas changer la situation en un tour de main. Les difficultés ne peuvent être résolues que dans un dialogue et par une formation oecuménique. La commission mixte veut continuer Ie travail entrepris depuis dix ans. La prochaine réunion aura lieu à Baltimore aux Etats-Unis en juin 1991.
Het Jezus-gebed. Verhaal van een traditie

Published: March 2023

The Jesus-prayer: Story of a tradition
The interest in the Jesus-prayer has been greatly influenced by the French orthodox spiritual father Lev Gillet. The 100th anniversary of his birth in 1993 is a good reason to describe again the long journey of spiritual fathers and teachers of this prayer of the heart of which every orthodox monk wants to be a companion. The Jesus-prayer has a long tradition in the orthodox church and could be a enrichment to the western Christian of today.
De autonomie van de katholieke oosterse kerken volgens het nieuw canoniek recht
Authors: Davids A. 
Published: March 2023

The Autonomy of the Catholic Oriental Churches according to the new Canon Law
The Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium from 1990 forms together with the Codex luris Canonici from 1983 for the Latin Church and the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus from 1988 about the Roman curia the corpus iuris canonici of the Catholic Church/Churches. The CCEO deals exclusively with the twenty-one Catholic Oriental Churches. The Catholic Oriental Churches are as ecclesiae sui iuris autonomous in different degrees. The autonomy is relative. The highest authority of the Church is that of the pope and the college of bishops. For the Catholic Oriental Churches the patriarchal and synodal structure is preserved. Especially the problem of territoriality of the patriarchal jurisdiction has not been resolved.
Metropoliet Isodoor van Moskou en het russische cesaropapisme
Authors: Nikitin Valentin 
Published: March 2023

Metropolitan Isidor of Moscow and Russian Caesaropapism
Moscovian Russia inherited the caesaropapism in the church-state relations from the Byzantine empire. This caesaropapism appeared for the first time when grand-duke Vasili II of Moscow deposed metropolitan Isidor after his return from the council in Florence. The later Russian sources on this council are highly tendentious. Unpartial study of the primary sources shows that Isidor was not the only Russian in favour of the union. Neither was the union as such the direct reason for his deposition. The reading of the bull in the Uspensky cathedral was quietly listened to by Vasili II, who of course knew of the result of the council. It was the insertion of the name of the pope in the Orthodox liturgy which aroused the anger of the people and the grand-duke.
The author deplores the failure of the union of the Orthodox and Catholic churches. This union is a necessary condition for the survival of christianity in the modern world and for an authentic religious revival in Russia.
In the commentary to the article of V. Nikitin, W. van den Bercken deals with the criticism which Nikitinʼs pro-Catholic article, originally published in Russkaya Mysl, received in conservative media, inclusive in the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate, of which Nikitin was a collaborator. Now the author is working at the more ecumenically oriented Department for Religious Education and Catechesis of the Moscow Patriarchate.
Missietheologie in de orthodoxe kerken: het huidige denken
Authors: Van Dinteren L. 
Published: March 2023

The theology of mission in the Orthodox Church Modern thought
The author, an Orthodox priest, gives an overview of the theology of mission as it was developed by the Orthodox theologians in the twentieth century. Some theologians interpreted mission as the evangelisation of non-Christians and others as the social mission of the Church; boths concepts have been integrated in a more global vision.
The mission of the Church is a continuation of the mission of the Son, which was to save mankind and to manifest Godʼs glory. Furthermore, Orthodoxy characterizes mission as ʽa liturgy after the Liturgyʼ. This approach tries to safeguard the divine origin and character of mission. The aim of mission is the transfiguration of the world, for the manifestation of Godʼs glory.
Uniatisme en Unionisme

ʼUniatismʼ and ʼUnionismʼ
The Conference of the Patriarchs at Rome
A hundred years ago, in 1894, Leo XIII invited the Eastern Catholic patriarchs to come to Rome in order to discuss during a conference, led by himself, and together with a number of cardinals, experts in the field of eastern affairs, the difficult situation of Eastern Christendom. The Latin missionaries had never been very successful in their endeavours to bring about a union. In his secret report to the pope, written after the Eucharistic Congress at Jerusalem in 1893, the cardinal Langénieux emphasized the shortcomings of the Latin missionary work: latinization and interference in eastern administrative affairs by the apostolic delegate, who had the support of the Propaganda. The Orthodox rejected this form of union which, as far as they were concerned, was tantamount to being assimilated into the Latin Church. Therefore Leo decided on a new church policy: to convert the East through orientals, i.e. the uniate patriarchates. The apostolic letter Orientalium dignitas was drawn up at Rome in 1894. It includes measures against latinization and measures to elevate morally the uniate churches. Finally the author summarizes the various mixed reactions to these measures and the new church policy.

The World Conference on Faith and Order at Santiago de Compostela
The Fifth World Conference on Faith and Order was held at Santiago de Compostela, Spain, from 3 to 14 August 1993. The Fourth World Conference had taken place thirty years before, in 1963, at Montreal, Canada. More than 200 delegates of the member churches of the Commission on Faith and Order, accompanied by many guests, advisers, staff members, young theologians and stewards attended the assembly. There were more than 450 participants altogether.
On the basis of the preparatory document, the author of this article pays attention to the present ecumenical situation with its bright and dark sides. Then he deals with some of the addresses given during the Conference, which in themselves point to a great diversity of the interpretations of the ecumenical ideal. After that he draws attention to two developments in particular which were continually discussed during the Conference and which are of crucial importance for the future of the ecumenical movement. Finally he discusses the Message to the churches which summarizes the results and the expectations of the Conference.
New findings of the family Pardaliscidae from the deep-sea southwestern Atlantic: the genus Caleidoscopsis Karaman, 1974

Published: March 2023

Caleidoscopsis is a deep-sea pardaliscid genus known previously only from the SE Atlantic Ocean (Angola Basin), NE Pacific Ocean (Mexico, Cedros Trench) and Indian Ocean (Madagascar). This is the first record of Caleidoscopsis from off the Brazilian coast, SW Atlantic Ocean. Samples were collected with box core and/or van veen grabs between Espírito Santo, Campos and Santos Basin (19o–27o S), and around 417–1974 m depths. Two new species is herein described, Caleidoscopsis carlosi sp. nov., which differs from all Caleidoscopsis species by antenna 1 geniculate; maxilliped palp, article 4 shorter than 3; pereopods 5–7, propodus shorter than dactylus; and pereopod 7 with propodus 7x longer than wide; and Caleidoscopsis karamani sp. nov., which can be distinguished by rostrum more developed, reaching half-length of article 1 of peduncle of antenna 1; antenna 2, peduncle, article 5 longer than 3 and 4; pereopod 7, propodus 13x longer than wide, subequal to dactylus; urosomite 1 covering part of urosomite 2, with 1 long dorsal tooth; urosomite 2 with 1 very long and thin dorsal tooth almost reaching the end of urosomite 3. Further on, Caleidoscopsis carlosi sp. nov. turn out to be a very common and abundant species along the study area, being found in 126 samples with a total of 146 specimens examined, when comparing with C. karamani sp. nov. that was found in only 5 samples with one individual each.
A table of comparison and an identification key of the currently six known species of the genus are provided. The present study is an effort in understanding and unrevealing the deep-sea macrofauna from the Brazilian margin bringing new data on the family Pardaliscidae found in the slope of the Campos, Santos and Espírito Santo Basins.
Does leadership gender diversity drive corporate social responsibility and organizational outcomes? The role of organization size
Authors: Ali Muhammad , Grabarski Mirit K , Ahmed Sana , Imtiaz Nazish 
Published: March 2023

Corporate scandals, environmental damages, and employment conditions have highlighted the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, little is known about (1) the simultaneous effects of board and top management team (TMT) gender diversity on CSR, (2) the mediating role of CSR between leadership (board/TM) gender diversity and organizational outcomes, and (3) the above-noted effects vary between large versus small organizations. Drawn from social role theory, we test our hypotheses using multisource time-lagged data from 248 organizations. The results indicate that both board and TMT gender diversity are positively associated with CSR. Moreover, CSR had a positive effect on both perceived organizational performance and employee productivity, with CSR also mediating the relationship between board gender diversity and perceived organizational performance. The findings also show the moderating effect of organization size on the CSR–organizational outcomes relationship. Our results refine (differential effects of gender diversity on CSR depending on the role), extend (some unprecedented effects were found for perceived organizational performance and employee productivity), and qualify (effects were significant for large organizations) social role theory. Our research addresses the above-noted knowledge gaps and informs the contextual leadership gender diversity practice for improved CSR and organizational outcomes. JEL Classification: M12, M14

Published: March 2023

Background Chlamydia trachomatis ( C. trachomatis) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( N. gonorrhoeae) are curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that cause adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. Most countries, including Botswana, do not offer C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae screening during antenatal care (ANC) and instead use a syndromic approach for management of STIs. Methods The Maduo Study is a prospective, cluster-controlled trial in Botswana evaluating the impact of diagnostic screening for antenatal C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infections to prevent adverse neonatal outcomes. Using baseline data from the Maduo Study (March 2021–March 2022), we determined the prevalence of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infection among asymptomatic pregnant women in Botswana and correlates of infection using multivariable logistic regression. Results Of 251 women who underwent C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae screening at first ANC visit, 55 (21.9%, 95%CI 17.0–27.5) tested positive for C. trachomatis, 1 (0.4%, 95%CI 0–2.2) for N. gonorrhoeae; and 2 (0.8%, 95%CI 0–2.8) for dual C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infection. Older age was associated with lower odds (aOR 0.93; 95%CI 0.88–0.98; p = 0.011) while any alcohol use during pregnancy was associated with higher odds (aOR = 3.53; 95%CI 1.22–10.16; p = 0.020) of testing positive for C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae. Conclusions A high frequency of C. trachomatis infections was detected among asymptomatic pregnant women in Botswana indicating that many antenatal STIs are missed by the syndromic management approach. Our results highlight the need for diagnostic C. trachomatis screening during ANC in Botswana and other low- and middle-income countries that rely solely on the syndromic approach for management of STIs.
Nerolidol Attenuates Cerebral Ischemic Injury in Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion-Induced Rats via Regulation of Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Oxidative Stress Markers
Authors: Zhang Jie , Li Yanli , Zhou Tao 
Published: March 2023

Background Cerebral ischemia is a syndrome that occurs due to the restricted flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain, causing damage to the brain cells. Globally, ischemia ranks second in causing mortality and third in causing disability in stroke patients. Nerolidol is a bioactive compound present in the essential oil of plants with a floral odour. It is a natural sesquiterpene alcohol used in cosmetics, perfumes, and as a food flavouring agent. It also possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Materials and Methods In this study, we assessed the anti-ischemic property of nerolidol in cerebral ischemia-induced mice. Healthy male Wistar rats were induced into cerebral ischemia with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and treated with 10 mg and 20 mg nerolidol for 21 days. The brain morphometric, antioxidant, and MMP levels were estimated in the brain tissue of MCAO-performed and nerolidol-treated rats. The cerebral infarct-alleviating potency of nerolidol was analysed by estimating the levels of inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic proteins. It was further confirmed by assessing the levels of COX-2/PGE-2 signalling proteins in brain tissue from MCAO-performed in rats. Results Nerolidol significantly reduced the cerebral infarct volume and brain edema via increased antioxidant levels and decreased MMPs. It also decreased the pro-inflammatory cytokines and proapoptotic proteins in brain tissue. The inflammatory signalling proteins NFκB, COX-2, and PGE-2 were significantly decreased in nerolidol-treated MCAO-performed rats, confirming the antiischemic property of nerolidol. Conclusion Our results prove nerolidol significantly alleviates cerebral ischemia in rats, and it can be subjected to further trials to be formulated as an anti-ischemic drug.
Influence of Seasonal Variation on Diosgenin Content in Costus speciosus (J. Koenig) Sm. Rhizome Quantified Through Validated RP-HPLC-PDA Method

Published: March 2023

Background Costus speciosus (J. Koenig) Sm. (Syn. Cheilocostus speciosus) is an ethnic anti-diabetic plant, used for its high diosgenin content. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the seasonal variation of diosgenin content in Costus speciosus rhizome, quantified through validated RP-HPLC method. Materials and Methods The rhizomes were collected in four different seasons, such as rainy (August), autumn (October), winter (February) and summer (May), from Lucknow, India. The HPLC method validation was done in terms of linearity, precision, repeatability, accuracy, sensitivity and robustness. Results Diosgenin was separated under isocratic elution on an RP-HPLC column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 µm) with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and water, eluted at retention time (Rt) of 18.396 min and content was calculated with the help of standard curve. The limit of detection and limit of quantification (LOQ) was found to be 522.68 and 1583.90 ng (nanogram), respectively. The diosgenin content varies significantly in different seasons. Conclusion The diosgenin content was found higher in rainy (193.97 µg/mg) season and was concluded to be optimum season for collection of rhizomes as quality raw material. Harvesting at optimal season may fulfill the commercial demand of diosgenin and may reduce the diosgenin-intended overexploitation of the species from the wild.
