“Black CNN”: Cultural Transmission of Moral Norms through Narrative Art
Authors: Horský Jan 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In recent debates in moral psychology and literary Darwinism, several authors suggested that narrative art plays a significant role in the process of the social learning of moral norms, functioning as storage of locally salient moral information. However, an integrative view, which would help explain the inner workings of this morally educative function of narrative art, is still lacking. This paper provides such a unifying theoretical account by bringing together insights from moral psychology (concerning the non-reflective nature of moral cognition), educational sciences (concerning different types of settings and methods of moral learning), cognitive/evolutionary narratology (concerning how easy narrative art lends itself to the transmission of moral information), and cultural evolution (concerning different types of learning strategies/biases in relation to narrative art). A study of contemporary American rap music is included to showcase the benefits of this integrative approach in the context of one particular type of narrative art.
Cultural Conventions as Group-Makers
Authors: Slors Marc 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In most literature on human cultural evolution and the emergence of large-scale cooperation, the main function of cultural conventions is described as providing group-markers. This paper argues that cultural conventions serve another purpose as well that is at least as important. Large-scale cooperation is characterized by complex division of labour and by a diversity of social roles associated with cultural institutions. This requires ubiquitous ‘role-interaction coordination’ – as it will be labelled. It is argued that without cultural conventions this type of coordination would be cognitively intractable. Thus, apart from functioning as group markers, they are first and foremost important group-makers.
The Dead May Kill You
Authors: White Claire , Marin Maya , Fessler Daniel M. T. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
There is considerable evidence that beliefs in supernatural punishment decrease self-interested behavior and increase cooperation amongst group members. To date, research has largely focused on beliefs concerning omniscient moralistic gods in large-scale societies. While there is an abundance of ethnographic accounts documenting fear of supernatural punishment, there is a dearth of systematic cross-cultural comparative quantitative evidence as to whether belief in supernatural agents with limited powers in small-scale societies also exert these effects. Here, we examine information extracted from the Human Relations Area Files on cultural discourse about the recently deceased, local ancestor spirits, and mortuary practices across 57 representative cultures. We find evidence that in traditional small-scale societies ancestor spirits are commonly believed to be capable of inflicting harm, with many attendant practices aimed at mitigating this danger. However, such beliefs do not appear to promote cooperation, as ancestor spirits seem to be concerned with interactions between themselves and the living, and to prioritize their own welfare. Many attendant practices are inconsistent even with bipartite cooperation with ancestors that could be viewed as a model for other relationships. The broader implications of this research for the cultural evolution of religion are discussed.
How Do You Solve a Problem Like ‘Religious Literacy’?: Thinking with Wolfart’s ‘Religious Literacy’ Reservations
Authors: Lester Rita 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Wolfart persuasively locates religious literacy advocacy within the reforming, salvific myth of literacies. However, instead of Wolfart’s identification of religious literacy as ex-theological, I argue that a narrowly defined religious literacy is theological and, therefore, Religious Studies faculty should (re)negotiate what it means in relation to what we do as teachers. For this, Religious Studies faculty need to resist the civic soteriology and the seductive allure of claiming authority based on specialness or supposed distinctiveness of something called religious.
Fifty Years of Catholic-Pentecostal Dialogue, 1972–2022
Authors: Robeck Cecil M. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article offers a sweeping view of the first fifty years of the International Roman Catholic–Pentecostal Dialogue, from the perspective of an historian who has participated in this ongoing discussion for the past thirty-seven years. While the first two rounds of dialogue were especially difficult because of the political disputes between the then Assemblies of God General Superintendent, Thomas F. Zimmerman, and David du Plessis, the former General Secretary of the Pentecostal World Conference, the Dialogue has survived and produced six major studies so far, with a seventh round that has resumed after COVID-19 in July 2022. Today, this ecumenical dialogue is the oldest and most widely accepted in the world that features Pentecostals. The article explains some of the difficulties participants have faced, challenges they have overcome, and it explains how the dialogue has opened doors for further communication between Catholics and Pentecostals. It concludes with the recognition that the dialogue has contributed to problem solving and has helped to open the path towards the establishment of the Christian Unity Commission of the Pentecostal World Fellowship.
Seismic Surveys off the South African Coastline
Authors: Glazewski Jan , du Toit Louise 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In two recent South African cases, the applicants sought interim interdicts preventing the respondent companies – Shell and Searcher – from continuing with, or alternatively commencing, their seismic surveys along the eastern and the western/southwestern coasts of South Africa respectively. In both matters, rights in relation to searching for mineral or petroleum resources had been granted in terms of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002. The High Courts paid special attention to the inadequate public consultation processes that had been followed and highlighted the duty of Shell and Searcher to meaningfully consult with the affected communities and individuals. In both cases, the Courts found that the requirements for an interim interdict had been met, and Shell and Searcher were accordingly prohibited from continuing with or commencing their seismic surveys of the respective portions of the South African coast, pending the outcomes of the main applications.
igo s’ Initiatives as a Response to Crises and Unforeseen Needs
Authors: Bonucci Nicola , Marceau Gabrielle , Ouellet André-Philippe , Walker Rebecca 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article aims at reviewing the practice of ‘initiatives’ by Intergovernmental Organizations (igo s) when responding to crises or the unforeseen needs of their respective memberships. It forms part of a broader research project on the role of igo s in international law where more than 100 initiatives were identified so far, focusing on 14 igo s. The notion of an igo’s initiative, conceptualised as activities of the Executive Heads and the secretariat’s staff that enhance the remit of an organization beyond those functions initially or formally envisaged by its constituent instrument, is examined. A descriptive analysis of over 30 initiatives indicate that they may be successful in addressing modern unforeseen challenges, whether they stem from international emergencies, climate change, dynamic technological advancements, or global health crises such as the covid-19 pandemic- especially when such initiatives are accepted and supported by igo s’ members.
Children and Youth Participation in Decision- Making in Tanzania: A Need for Vibrant Councils at Local Levels
Authors: Makulilo Victoria 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Despite commitments by the Tanzanian government to protect and promote human as well as establishing junior and youth councils; there is very low participation of children and youth in governance and accountability. This paper was set to explain why there is low participation of children and youth in decision-making in Tanzania. Using a human rights approach and qualitative analysis of secondary data from previous studies, this paper found out that the low participation of children and youth in decision making is a result of weak implementation of policies and laws coupled by inadequate support from the government. The paper, therefore, recommends for effective implementation of policies and laws by the government. This should be done through (a) fast-tracking establishment of National Youth Council and Junior Councils as stipulated in policies and law and (b) establishing regulatory frameworks to oversee the functioning of those councils.
The Paradox of Bodaboda Youth as Agents for Promoting and Preventing Violent Extremism in Tanzania
Authors: Sambaiga Richard F. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The arrival of Motorcycle taxis (bodaboda) in the public transport sector in African and beyond have had far reaching opportunities and challenges in other realms of public affairs especially the economy and security. This paper examines the paradoxical nature of Bodaboda Youth in terms of their role in either promoting or/and preventing violent extremism in Tanzania. It seeks a nuanced understanding of the security dimensions of the bodaboda phenomenon with a focus on what the influx of bodaboda means for violent extremism (VE) and prevention of violent extremism (PVE) in Tanzania and elsewhere in Africa. Drawing on empirical evidence from Tanzania, and inspired by sound actor oriented perspectives, the article, defends the contention that Bodaboda Youth can actively and creatively participate VE operatives and PVE practices. Analytically, the paper challenges dominant discourses, which have tended to present a rather one-sided and reductionist view that represent youth as perpetrators of violence thereby silencing the diverse ways through which youth actually participate in addressing, reducing or containing violence.
Corpuscular Conchology
Authors: Ezra Ruth 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In 1741, Jacques Gautier d’Agoty asserted his position as the inventor of tri-color mezzotint, advertising his process in the pages of the Mercure de France December 1741, with an image of a Drap d’or shell. This article takes the shell as a case study to demonstrate one way in which Gautier’s early artistic experimentation with print processes fed his later natural philosophical theorizing, which he published in the pages of his new scientific journal, the Observations (1752–1757). The burr of the Drap d’or’s copperplate, the stratigraphy of its tonal inking, and the corrosive action of its mordant informed Gautier’s conception of shell discoloration as a process based on the collapse of a mollusk’s surface texture and the movement of salts in and out of its pores. His first-hand experience of achieving mechanical color impressions with mezzotint furnished him with an artistic metaphor with which he could then comprehend a natural process.
Introduction: Meanings of Mobility Among Peasants in Europe, 1300–1800
Authors: Klír Tomáš , Lindström Jonas 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Migration is a fundamental but often neglected chapter in the history of European peasant societies. Knowledge of migration in Medieval and Early Modern rural Europe adds significantly to our understanding of phenomena as diverse as serfdom, the land market, social stratification, the diffusion of agricultural practices, and responses to climate change. To advance this knowledge, we need to consult both documentary evidence and archaeological data, and study diverse parts of Europe. This special issue of the Journal of Migration History collects articles devoted to various aspects of mobility among peasants and its multiple meanings. Written by historians and archaeologists, they present a plethora of perspectives, methods, and approaches to the study of migration in the past. This introductory article describes the themes and scope of the articles. We argue for the importance of migration to peasant studies but also for the integration of peasant studies into mainstream migration history.
Rural Migration in Premodern Europe: Sweden, 1613–1618
Authors: Andersson Martin 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Although most people in the past lived in agrarian communities, premodern rural migration has long been a neglected subject within the field of migration history. The aim of this study is to enhance our knowledge of rural household migration in premodern Europe. It is based on the Älvsborg lösen taxation records, in which household migration data was registered for the Swedish population during a five-year period at the beginning of the seventeenth century. The study focuses on rural household migration rates, distances and destinations. It shows that 5 per cent of rural households in Sweden moved annually, with about two-thirds of these being ‘local’ migrants, which is consistent with what has previously been reported for other European regions. Migration was consequentially not only part of the life-course of most individuals, but also of great importance for the rural economy and societies in premodern Europe.
Factors Influencing the Use of Animal Models in Animal Experimentation: A Survey
Authors: Borgi Marta , Fasano Laura , Laurenzano Sara , Vitale Augusto 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Methodological choices in animal experimentation are influenced by a variety of factors. The analysis of the relative weight of such factors on the practice of animal experimentation can offer a better idea of the influences characterizing the work of researchers today. To this aim, we conducted structured interviews and sent out questionnaires to researchers using animal models. The results showed that the main factor influencing the researchers’ work with animals was the appropriateness of the chosen animal model to respond to the question addressed. Ethical issues came as the next important factor, mostly based on considerations regarding animal suffering. The general public opinion appeared to be of little significance, indicating that a gap still exists between animal researchers and society. This paper shows animal experimentation is influenced by both external (e.g., adherence to scientific objectivity) and internal factors (e.g., ethical concerns), providing a varied profile of the contemporary animal researcher.
My Fish and I: Human-Fish Interactions in the 21st Century
Authors: Galhardo Leonor 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
‘My fish and I’ is an account of the diversity of human-fish interactions. This includes their benefits, detriments/harms as well as their moral and animal welfare. Fish are not easily perceived as individual animals having mental states, interests, needs and a degree of individuality. Additionally, fish have been handled as a simple resource in innumerable human interactions. Important ethical approaches address animal-human interactions based upon the individual’s cognitive ability and capacity to feel pleasure and pain. Given the ample evidence that fish have neuroanatomical structures that support the capacity to feel (sentience) and have complex behavioural and cognitive abilities, a moral duty is imposed upon us. Some human-centered and eco-centered moral views complement different perceptions of the nature of our relationship with fish. This occurs both at the individual level and as species or populations face a serious need for conservation. The concepts and assessments in the developments of animal welfare science provide ample basis for an evolution in the quality of human-fish interactions. However, many stakeholders must take part in this evolution. This is especially true as it concerns those areas of activity involving many individual fish and higher levels of suffering. Examples of these are aquaculture and commercial fisheries where there is much more at stake. Consumers will have the last word in this role, namely by reducing fish consumption.
Reasonable Pluralism, Moderate Confucian Perfectionism, and Pluralistic Neutrality
Authors: Li Zhuoyao 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Moderate Confucian perfectionism aims to take advantage of both the capacity of liberalism to accommodate reasonable pluralism and the richness of Confucianism to endorse shared values without much controversy. Drawing from John Rawls’s proviso, Franz Mang offers an internal critique of moderate Confucian perfectionism by constructing a “wide view of moderate perfectionism” according to which active promotion of Confucianism or Confucian values violates the liberal condition to accommodate reasonable pluralism. In this article, I will argue that Mang’s internal critique not only reveals the weakness of moderate Confucian perfectionism but also pushes moderate perfectionism closer to neutrality, which can be demonstrated by adopting a pluralistic understanding of liberal neutrality. Furthermore, the pluralistic understanding of liberal neutrality leads to a convergent view of the relationship between political liberalism and moderate perfectionism, on the basis of which a modified proviso can be constructed to take advantage of both freestanding political reasons and freestanding perfectionist reasons. This modified proviso not only meets the liberal condition to accommodate reasonable pluralism but also strengthens the case for political liberalism.
Prevalence and Trends of Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts-Related Cancers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Tafesse Nebiyou , Porcelli Massimiliano , Gari Sirak Robele , Ambelu Argaw 
Published: July 2022

Background: Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) from chlorinated drinking water have been linked to an increased risk of cancer in the bladder, stomach, colon, and rectum. No studies showed the independent trends and prevalence of these cancers in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and trends of disinfection byproducts-related cancers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Data were collected from the Addis Ababa Cancer Registry. Spatial data sets were produced and classified into households receiving chlorinated surface water and less chlorinated groundwater. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to evaluate whether there was a disinfection byproducts-related cancers (DBRCs) trend among communities receiving chlorinated water. Negative binomial regression was used to analyze the incidence rate. Results: A total of 11, 438 cancer cases were registered between 2012 and 2016, and DBRCs accounted for approximately 17%. The majority of the total cancer cases were female; 7,706 (67%). The prevalence of DBRCs was found to be higher in communities supplied with chlorinated water. From 2012 to 2016, the trend of colon cancer increased (β = 10.3, P value = .034); however, esophageal cancer decreased (β = −6.5, P value = .018). Approximately 56% of colorectal cancer patients and 53% of stomach cancer patients are known to be using chlorinated surface water for drinking regularly. In addition, approximately 57.1% and 54% of kidney and bladder cancer patients, respectively, used chlorinated surface water. Conclusion: The prevalence of DBRCs in this study was found to be high. The colon cancer trend increased substantially from 2012 to 2016. The prevalence of DBRCs was higher in communities supplied with chlorinated surface water. Similarly, the prevalence of DBRCs was higher among males than females. Further study is required to validate the association between DBRCs and water chlorination.
Alcohol norms and alcohol intake among high school students
Authors: Møller Sanne Pagh , Tolstrup Janne S. , Hviid Signe Skovgaard , Bendtsen Pernille 
Published: July 2022

Aims: To analyse whether parental alcohol norms were associated with the alcohol intake of high school students and whether this association persisted across different levels of alcohol intake in school and trustful communication with parents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 70,544 high school students (mean age 18 years) participating in the Danish National Youth Study 2014. We examined the associations between parental alcohol norms and individual alcohol intake as the number of drinks at the most recent school party and the frequency of binge drinking in the last 30 days using negative binomial regression. We then performed joint analyses of parental alcohol norms and alcohol intake at school level, and parental alcohol norms and trustful communication with parents. Results: The mean intake of alcohol at the most recent school party was 9.9 units of alcohol for boys and 7.6 units of alcohol for girls. A total of 36.2% of boys and 24.7% of girls were binge drinking frequently (more than four occasions in the last month). Lenient parental alcohol norms and a low level of trustful communication with parents were associated with a higher intake at the most recent school party and with the frequency of binge drinking. Joint analyses showed that these associations persisted across different levels of school level alcohol intake and levels of trustful communication with parents. Conclusions: Among high school students, parental alcohol norms were strongly associated with alcohol intake and consistently so across different levels of school level alcohol intake and level of trustful communication with parents. This indicates that the role of parents in preventing excessive drinking is important, even in older adolescents.
Revisiting socio-economic inequalities in sedentary leisure time in Sweden: An intersectional analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA)
Authors: Ericsson Lovisa , Wemrell Maria , Lindström Martin , Perez-Vicente Raquel , Merlo Juan 
Published: July 2022

Aims: Swedish public health reports have repeatedly provided information about socio-economic inequalities in sedentary leisure time, despite that, in the interest of health equity, physical activity should be equally distributed in the population. Such public health reports, however, neither consider the intersection of multiple socio-demographic factors nor the individual heterogeneity around group averages. Drawing on intersectionality theory, this study aimed to revisit previous findings on sedentary leisure time from Swedish public health surveys and demonstrate how the analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA) can be used for analysing complex health inequalities. Methods: Using data from Swedish national public health surveys (2004–2015), we applied the AIHDA to define 72 intersectional groups by categories of age, gender, educational achievement, migration status and household composition. We then calculated (a) the absolute and relative risk of sedentary leisure time and (b) the discriminatory accuracy (DA) of the intersectional grouping. Results: The average risk of sedentary leisure time ranged from 5.8% among native-born, highly educated, young women living alone to 41.0% among immigrated young men, living alone, with low education. The risk was higher in strata comprising immigrated people with low education and lower in strata including native-born, highly educated people. However, the DA of the grouping was poor, indicating a substantial overlap of individual risk between groups. Conclusions: Using the AIHDA and drawing on intersectionality, this study provides an improved mapping of the socio-economic distribution of sedentary leisure time in Sweden, with the poor DA suggesting universal rather than targeted physical activity interventions.
