Die Katastrophe der deutschen Kirche als höchste Alarmstufe für die gesamte Weltkirche
Authors: Oko Dariusz 
Published: October 2022

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, the closest associate of Pope Benedict XVI, theologically as if his Alter-Ego, is certainly one of the best experts in the Catholic Church in Germany. And it is he who compares the present condition of this Church to the catastrophe of such a huge and luxurious Titanic, which, however, is slowly sinking, because those responsible turned out to be reckless and did not predict the worst. Indeed, so far the application of almost all criteria that apply to the evaluation of a religious community has shown that, in fact, since the Second Vatican Council, this Church has been losing its vitality and shrinking. However, the so-called Synodal Way has deteriorated even more dramatically in recent times. Its agenda includes goals and demands that are contrary to both Revelation and the Tradition of the Church, and that are contrary to common sense. These are the goals and demands that have been made by even extreme left and atheistic ideologues and politicians, and which are now to move to the center and foundations of church teaching.It seems that just as almost all English bishops in the 16th century succumbed to the state violence of King Henry VIII and betrayed Christ and the Church, today the vast majority of German clergymen succumb to ideological violence in the area of culture and the state and thus betray their own faith and betray Church and Christ. It seems that many of them are close to the ideas of Georg Wilhelm Hegel, who considered himself wiser and greater than all, also than Christ, and the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche, who wanted to replace the crucified Messiah with Dionysus – a patron of, among other things, debauchery. It seems that many of the faithful and clergy in Germany also want to carry out a sexual revolution in the Church as if the second Reformation, perhaps even more catastrophic than the first. It seems that they are putting gender theory in place of Revelation and Christianity. And gender is, in fact, another neo-Marxist pansexual ideology which elevates eroticism as if it were the most important value, more important especially than God and one’s own salvation.One has to ask, how could such a great spiritual catastrophe of a Church that was once so numerous, so strong, so faithful and creative? We must ask what to do so that no more Church would destroy itself so that such a spiritual disease would not spread to other Churches. This article tries to answer these fundamental questions. It does so by analyzing the cultural, historical, national, economic, spiritual and religious conditions of German society that led to such an advanced process of self-destruction of the Church.
The Religious situation in Ukraine and it’s influence on the establishment and development of military-religious relations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (1991–2017)

Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the religious situation in the Ukrainian society, as well as its impact on the formation and development of military-religious relations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 1991–2017.
Religion, as one of the leading forms of social consciousness, is an important factor in the formation of civil society and in the development of channels of its communication with state institutions. The Church has traditionally played the role of an important subject of the socio-political life in the history of the Ukrainian people.
The relationship between Russian-Ukrainian relations and their impact on state-religious relations in Ukraine and its Armed Forces has been studied. The main tendencies of the development of military-religious relations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been clarified. The transformation processes that influenced the change of the existing models of support of religious needs for the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the studied period, are analyzed here/in this article.
In particular, some historical aspects of socio-political processes that influenced the formation and development of military-religious relations, and the institutionalization of the military clergy (chaplaincy) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the period under study are highlighted.
In today’s conditions, military chaplains have gained significant experience of service in the war zone, have strong national and patriotic convictions, are able to withstand significant psychological and physical stress, and are ready to carry out pastoral service in any environment.
Udział świeckich w dziele ewangelizacji. Inspiracje Franciszka
Authors: Dyk Stanisław 
Published: October 2022

Dla Franciszka ewangelizacja jest kluczem do reformy Kościoła. Wierni świeccy zaś są ważnym i niemożliwym do zastąpienia podmiotem tego dzieła. Niniejsze opracowanie ukazuje wybrane inspiracje papieża odnoszące się do udziału laikatu we współczesnej ewangelizacji. W pierwszej części artykułu wskazano na eklezjologię papieża, która stoi u podstaw jego myśli dotyczącej misyjnego posłannictwa wiernych świeckich. Przedstawiono tu także konkretne przestrzenie ewangelizacji, w których Franciszek postrzega świeckich jako aktywne podmioty. Następnie omówiono dwa najbardziej oryginalne dla Franciszka wezwania, jak przestroga przed klerykalizmem oraz zachęta do realizacji synodalności Kościoła. W końcu ukazano nauczanie Franciszka w perspektywie realizacji prorockiej funkcji Kościoła. Skoncentrowano się tu na teologicznym i pastoralnym odczytaniu ustanowionej przez papieża posługi katechisty. Przeprowadzone analizy pozwoliły stwierdzić, że nauczanie Franciszka, dotyczące udziału świeckich w ewangelizacji, posiada wiele nowych akcentów. W pojmowaniu ewangelizacji obecny papież zachowuje jednak hermeneutykę ciągłości z nauką Soboru Watykańskiego II. Wezwania Franciszka mogą zdynamizować współczesną ewangelizację i przyczynić się do odnowy Kościoła.
Dialog Pana ze swoim ludem. Przepowiadanie słowa Bożego i duszpasterstwo
Authors: Cygański Arkadiusz 
Published: October 2022

Artykuł omawia postulowany przez papieża Franciszka dialog w życiu i misji Kościoła. Przedstawia analizy wypowiedzi papieża Franciszka oraz jego poprzedników i dokumentów Soboru Watykańskiego II. Prezentuje papieskie rozumienie dialogu oraz jego antropologiczne i teologiczne podstawy. Uzasadnia dialogiczny wymiar przepowiadania kościelnego i postuluje stosowanie w nim metod inkulturacji i akomodacji oraz wspólnotowego rozeznawania znaków czasów. Wskazuje, że dialog jest metodą duszpasterską, która pozwala urzeczywistniać soborową wizję Kościoła jako wspólnoty. Omawia zaproponowaną przez papieża Franciszka synodalność jako styl życia Kościoła w dialogu wewnątrzkościelnym. Podkreśla potrzebę formacji do dialogu duchownych i świeckich oraz pogłębienie eklezjologii Soboru Watykańskiego II przez katechezę. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują, że dialog jest właściwym narzędziem przeobrażenia misyjnego Kościoła, do którego wzywa papież Franciszek.
Additions of Conjunctive Vav (“and”) in 1QIsaa: Evidence for the Role of Language Processing Strategies
Authors: Fleck Einav 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article identifies one type of conjunctive vav (“and”) addition in 1QIsaa that accounts for over one-third of the 241 vav additions in the scroll. In these cases, vav serves to resolve structurally ambiguous verses in the biblical text of Isaiah. In 84 percent of the cases, vav resolves the ambiguous verses in a manner that accords with well-known language processing strategies. It is therefore argued that processing strategies were operative during the copying of 1QIsaa. Notably, more than half of vav additions that accord with processing strategies result in a verse division that differs from the MT’s reading tradition as recorded in its cantillation system. These findings offer a new perspective on the readings that are generated by vav additions when compared to the MT and also allow us to predict in which contexts this type of vav is likely to be found in other unpunctuated ancient texts.
Babatha’s Final Days: New Light from Papyrus Starcky
Authors: Esler Philip 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Babatha, a Judean woman from the early second century CE, hid a satchel of thirty-five legal papyri in a cave in Wadi Ḥever on the Dead Sea around 135 CE. This article argues that she brought two other papyri, in Nabatean Aramaic, into the cave (P.XḤev/Se Nab 1, also called “P.Starcky,” and P.XḤev/Se Nab 2), but culled her documents, hiding most in the satchel, while discarding these two. Initially, P.Starcky is analyzed as a title document relating to a date orchard in her hometown of Maoza in Arabia that passed by patrilineal succession to Judah, Babatha’s second husband. I then explain the relevance of P.Starcky to Babatha in relation to her seizing that orchard after Judah’s death, in spite of the claim of his orphaned nephews to the property. The nephews’ close connection with an elite woman of Roman citizenship explains why, at the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt, it was Babatha and not the nephews who carried P.Starcky into the cave. I argue further that Babatha also brought P.XḤev/Se Nab 2 into the cave but discarded it as irrelevant to her legal situation.
Enthroned and Coming to Reign: Jesus’s Eschatological Use of Psalm 110:1 in Mark 14:62
Authors: Smith Murray J. , Vaillancourt Ian J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Many interpreters hold that Jesus’s response to the high priest (Mark 14:62), combining Ps 110:1 and Dan 7:13, refers to his imminent heavenly enthronement and says nothing of his future return. Many others recognize a reference to Jesus’s parousia but see this solely in the allusion to Dan 7:13 (“coming with the clouds”), rather than in anything drawn from Ps 110. In contrast to these views, we argue that Ps 110 provides a key to understanding Jesus’s eschatological vision in Mark. The psalm envisages a chronological distinction between the enthronement of David’s lord “at the right hand” and his eschatological victory in the world. Mark’s Jesus also, in his response to the high priest, envisages his future career in two distinct stages that mirror those set forth in the psalm: first, his enthronement at God’s “right hand,” and then his final advent from heaven as the glorious Son of Man. This reading is consistent with Jesus’s teaching elsewhere in Mark, which envisages a period of bodily absence before his final return. It is supported by other early Christian texts in which the chronological progression in the psalm provides scriptural warrant for a distinction between Jesus’s present heavenly enthronement and future return.
Holy Impairment: The Body as the Nexus of Apocalyptic Ekphrasis in Acts 2:1–13
Authors: Henning Meghan R. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article reads Acts 2:1–13 as an example of apocalyptic ekphrasis, bringing together disparate imagery for rhetorical effect. In particular, the Septuagint imagery of theophany is combined with the imagery of divine healing that was associated with the god Asclepius. I explore the imagery of the divided tongue that rests on bodies and transforms them, an element of Acts 2:3 that many interpreters have given up trying to explain. The visual association of snakes and healing was prevalent not only at the shrines devoted to Asclepius but broadly in a variety of contexts outside the shrines. This complex of imagery is evoked by the story in Acts 2, depicting the bodies of the apostles as the site of divine transformation, and as a sign of apocalyptic inbreaking. The transformation in this story, however, is one of a holy impairment, combining the imagery of extraordinary comprehension and impairment to describe the apostles’ different speech. In Acts 2, a scene unfolds in which the bodies of the apostles are transformed through a divine touch, receiving a holy impairment that enables human connection, not by erasing difference but by leveraging it as a symbol of apocalyptic transformation.
Holy Land Sanctity for Every Greco-Roman City: Rethinking the Lukan Apostolic Decree (Acts 15:19–21)
Authors: Shin W. Gil 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The meaning of the enigmatic verse of Acts 15:21, not to mention the issues around the preceding Apostolic Decree (vv. 19–20), has largely been researched individually and historical-critically. By contrast, in this study I explicate the meaning of the verse within the broader scope of James’s speech by attending to the Jewish spatiality on Luke’s narrative-ideological plane. The Lukan James’s speech tightly combines intertextual elements that bear on significant Jewish spatiality, namely, the restored tent of David (v. 16) within the quotation of Amos 9:11–12, the alluded-to holy land (v. 20) drawn from Lev 17–18 as the background of the decree, and the Jewish synagogues in every city (v. 21) as the background of James’s final invocation of Moses. From this perspective, I propose that v. 21 is part of the Lukan narrative-ideological portrait that reconfigures the holy land’s purity concern via the eschatological presence of the restored Davidic tent, making it relevant to the larger Greco-Roman world in accordance with the continuing monotheistic cultic sanctity.

Aim. To compare the effectiveness of telmisartan and perindopril in the treatment of elderly patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and metabolic syndrome (MS) who have suffered ischemic stroke (IS).Material and methods. 92 elderly patients with AH and MS who underwent IS (mean 68±4 years) were examined. Patients were randomly divided into pharmacotherapy groups: 47 patients took telmisartan (80 mg/day) and 45 — perindopril (10 mg/day). Fasting plasma glucose levels, insulin, leptin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, highand lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol were determined, the HOMA-IR index was calculated, and daily monitoring was performed. Statistical processing was carried out using STATISTICA 10,0. The indicators are presented in the form of the median, interquartile ranges of Me (Q25%; Q75%), and mean ±SD. The comparison was carried out using the Wilcoxon rank criterion. The differences are significant at p<0,05.Results. After 12 months of observation in the telmisartan group, there was a significant decrease in the average daily systolic blood pressure (ВРs) from 152 (146; 156) to 129 (125; 134) mm Hg (p<0,01) and diastolic blood pressure from 89 (83; 96) to 76 (72; 84) mm Hg (p<0,05); reduction of НOMА-IR from 4,1 (3,3; 5,0) to 3,2 (2,7; 3,6) units (p<0,01), leptin from 14,3 (10,2; 17,7) to 11,7 (10,8; 13,6) ng/ml (p<0,01), triglycerides from 2,25 (1,90; 2,53) up to 2,05 (1,84; 2,05) mmol/l (p<0,05). In the perindopril group, ВРs decreased from 149 (144; 154) to 137 (131; 142) mm Hg (p<0,05), НOMА-IR (p=0,059), leptin from 14,4 (10,3; 18,0) to 13,0 (12,3; 13,8) ng/ml (p<0,05), triglycerides (p=0,056).Conclusion. Elderly patients with hypertension on the background of MS and a history of IS had significantly decreased ВРs and ВРd (according to the results of daily monitoring) after 12 months of telmisartan pharmacotherapy, decreased insulin resistance and the level of leptin and triglycerides in the blood serum.
Arterial hypertension as a consequence of endothelial glycocalyx dysfunction: a modern view of the problem of cardiovascular diseases
Authors: Ziganshina M. M. , Ziganshin A. R. , Khalturina E. O. , Baranov I. I. 
Published: October 2022

Arterial hypertension (AH) is a leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal diseases, which are among the top 10 most common causes of death in the world. The etiology of hypertension has not been fully elucidated, but it has been established that endothelial dysfunction is the most significant pathogenetic link in the formation and progression of the disease. The data obtained in the last 10-15 years on endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction is preceded by destabilization and shedding of eGC with the appearance of its soluble components in the blood, which is equivalent to a process that can be designated as eGC dysfunction. Signs of eGC dysfunction are expressed in the development of hypertension, diseases of the cardiovascular system, and their complications. The purpose of this review is to analyze and substantiate the pathophysiological role of eGC dysfunction in hypertension and cardiovascular diseases and to describe approaches for its assessment and pharmacological correction. Abstracts and full-size articles of 425 publications in Pubmed/MEDLINE databases over 20 years were studied. The review discusses the role of eGC in the regulation of vascular tone, endothelial barrier function, and anti-adhesive properties of eGC. Modifications of eGC under the influence of pro-inflammatory stimuli, changes in eGC with age, and with increased salt load are considered. The aspect associated with eGC dysfunction in atherosclerosis, hyperglycemia and hypertension is covered. Assessment of eGC dysfunction is difficult but can be performed by indirect methods, in particular by detecting eGC components in blood. A brief description of the main approaches to pharmacoprevention and pharmacocorrection of hypertension is given from the position of exposure effects on eGC, which currently has more a fundamental than practical orientation. This opens up great opportunities for clinical studies of eGC dysfunction for the prevention and treatment of hypertension and justifies a new direction in the clinical pharmacology of antihypertensive drugs.

Aim. To assess the adherence to prescribed treatment and the stability of the effect achieved after 3 months to improve the quality of therapy in patients with stable coronary heart disease after 12 months of follow-up. Material and methods. 73 patients with confirmed stable coronary heart disease were included in the study. The study included 3 patient visits: an initial treatment visit (V0) with an assessment of baseline blood pressure (BP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), patient adherence to therapy and with therapy correction; a repeat visit (V1) after 3 months — an assessment of the quality of therapy received by the patient and achievement of the target BP and LDL cholesterol, a visit after 12 months (V2) with an assessment of the results achieved, the therapy received and adherence to treatment. 57 patients (47 men and 10 women) were examined at the V2 visit. 14 (19,2%) patients withdrew their consent to participate in the study after the initial treatment (visit V0), 1 patient died due to cancer, 1 patient died due to cardiovascular disease. The response was 80,8%.Results. After the visit of repeated correction of therapy (V1) after 9 months of follow-up, a high frequency of drug therapy was observed, including 59% of patients taking medications of 4 main groups according to clinical recommendations. Among patients with arterial hypertension, there is a preservation of the result of achieving the target level of blood pressure (87% of patients), a statistically insignificant decrease in the frequency of achieving the target level of LDL cholesterol to 44,2% compared with the previous result of 53,7%. There was a tendency to improve the overall absolute adherence (increase by 10%, p=0,2) of patients to treatment.Conclusions. The possibility of constant contact of the patient with the doctor of the specialized cardiological unit of the scientific center and timely correction of the therapy allowed to maintain the achieved results and increase the overall adherence of patients to treatment.
Determinants of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) towards ICT Use for English Language Learning
Authors: Sulistiyo Urip , Al Arif Tubagus Zam Zam , Handayani Reli , Ubaidillah M. Faruq , Wiryotinoyo Mujiyono 
Published: October 2022

Background. The use of ICT in learning English can assist learners to improve their language skills, aside from empowering and motivating them in English language learning. ICT utilization can provide opportunities for collaboration and interaction in the learning process.
Purpose. The present study was conducted to examine the motivation, ICT skills, equipment, and attitudes factors towards the use of ICT tools for English learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context.
Methods. The quantitative method was applied involving 303 pre-service teachers of English department at a state university in Jambi, Indonesia. A questionnaire was employed to collect the data and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the proposed hypotheses developed in fulfilling the study objectives. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used to examine the attitudes of student teachers toward the use of ICT for English language learning.
Results. Findings suggested that the determinants of the technology acceptance model are the major factors influencing the usage of ICT. In addition, the effect of equipment, motivation, and ICT skills towards the use of ICT had been mediated by three main variables of TAM, namely perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitudes. Furthermore, it was found that the motivation, ICT skills and attitudes factors affect the actual use of ICT for English learning while the equipment factor does not.
Implications. The results of this study are beneficial for students and teachers both in schools and universities. For students, they need to equip themselves with ICT literacy, ICT skills, motivation, and positive attitudes towards the use of ICT in English learning activities. Teachers should also equip themselves with ICT skills so that they can provide learning experiences according to the needs of students in today's digital age.
