The Evangelical Contribution to Understanding the (Early) History of Ancient Israel in Recent Scholarship
Authors: HOFFMEIER JAMES K. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Although some evangelical scholars have responded to the recent movement toward historical minimalism, not enough is being done. If responsible, evangelical, historical perspectives are to bring some balance to the scholarly debate, evangelical scholars must publish more of their work in academic presses and in trade journals where they cannot be ignored. For the present writer Egyptology and sojourn-exodus narratives are of special interest. It is concluded that the principal components of the biblical story of Israel's presence in Egypt, their enslavement, their departure, and their sojourn in the Sinai wilderness are consistent with archaeological evidence. There is little justification in the conclusion that the biblical narratives lack any historical basis, but are late fictions. The theological implications of this issue are not insignificant.
Melchizedek as a Messiah at Qumran
Authors: RAINBOW PAUL 
Published: April 2022

AbstractContrary to many scholars who argue or assume that the mysterious figure Melchizedek in 11QMelchizedek should be identified as an angel, perhaps as the angel Michael, this paper argues that he is a messianic figure perhaps even the Davidic Messiah. The angelic interpretation is problematic at several points, while the messianic interpretation coheres with Qumran's apparent expectation of a Messiah of Israel who would serve faithfully alongside an anointed priest. These two figures were perhaps thought of as counterparts to the "wicked king" (melki-resha) and the "wicked priest" (hak-kohen ha-rasha), arch enemies of the Qumran community.
Inaugurating the Kingdom of God and Defeating the Kingdom of Satan
Authors: EVANS CRAIG A. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
IBR Jesus Project Paper 3. The exorcisms of Jesus constitute an essential component in his proclamation of the kingdom (or rule) of God. It is increasingly recognized that Jesus' message and ministry cannot be adequately understood if the exorcisms are not taken into account. The present essay argues that the exorcisms signify the reduction and destruction of Satan's kingdom, as God's kingdom breaks into the world.
Speaking Truthfully: Job's Friends and Job
Authors: PHILLIPS ELAINE A. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
One of the critical challenges of the book of Job lies in the apparent discord between the strident declarations of Job in the course of the poetic dialogues and God's affirmation of Job's words at the end of the book. Equally puzzling is the precise nature of God's stinging rebuke of the three friends. A resolution to these conundrums might rest in an alternative interpretation of the Hebrew in Job 42:7,8.
How Big Was Nineveh? Literal versus Figurative Interpretation of City Size
Authors: Halton Charles 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
This article examines the incongruity between most modern translations of Jonah 3:3 and ancient textual and archaeological evidence concerning the size of Nineveh. Every modern solution intended to reconcile a literal rendering of the description in Jonah 3:3 with ancient evidence fails. However, reading Jonah 3:3 as a figure of speech perfectly conveys the author's intention of representing Nineveh as a very large city.
Femme Fatale Redux: Intertextual Connection to the Elijah/Jezebel Narratives in Mark 6:14–29
Authors: HOFFEDITZ DAVID M. , YATES GARY E. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In this article we trace important intertextual connections between the pericopes of the beheading of John in Mark's Gospel and the OT narratives surrounding the figures of Jezebel and Elijah. This form of intertextuality serves three key polemical purposes in Mark's narrative: 1. to highlight the culpability and despicability of Herodias in having John put to death by depicting her as another Jezebel–the epitome of female wickedness in the OT; 2. to demonstrate the irony of reversal in that the OT narrative has the word of the prophet putting the wicked queen to death, while in the NT, the word of the wicked queen succeeds in bringing about the death of the prophet; 3. to show that Jesus, as the Messiah, surpasses the one like Elijah. John the Baptist's ministry as a messianic forerunner ends in death; Jesus as Messiah experiences death that ends in the triumph of resurrection. Ultimately, these intertextual connections strengthen the role of Mark 6:14–29 as a key text in drawing the reader's attention to the identification of John as the eschatological Elijah and foreshadowing the suffering of Jesus of Nazareth.
Jesus' Royal Entry into Jerusalem
Authors: KINMAN BRENT 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
IBR Jesus Project Paper 4. Critical examination of Jesus' Entry into Jerusalem yields the conclusion that Jesus orchestrated for himself a provocative, royal entry to the city. The entry thus represents a significant shift in his self-presentation to Israel and sheds light on his trial before Pilate and his crucifixion. Nevertheless, despite its dramatic tone, it was modest in size and easily overlooked by the Roman authorities at Passover.
Cultural Criticism and Biblical Hermeneutics: Definition, Origins, Benefits, and Challenges
Authors: KLINGBEIL GERALD A. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Over the past 30 years, methods of hermeneutics in the context of biblical studies have diversified impressively. Even for the specialist it is often challenging to stay up-to-date in the labyrinth of new methodologies and proposals for biblical interpretation. Over the past decade, cultural criticism has become an important critical tool and has gained significant recognition. In the present study I seek, first, to define this hermeneutical phenomenon and describe its origins in the larger context of humanities. This is followed, second, by a summary of the methods, hermeneutical presuppositions and applications of cultural criticism by some of its more important practitioners. Third, I seek to evaluate how evangelical scholarship has reacted to and interacted with cultural criticism. Finally, some of the possible challenges of and benefits to a Bible-based hermeneutic are presented, including its missiological repercussions.
Exodus 34:29–35 and Moses' Shining Face
Authors: PHILPOT JOSHUA M. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The purpose of the present study is twofold: (1) to deduce the meaning of Moses' shining face and his veil in Exod 34:29–35 and (2) to understand how these terms function in the context of the book of Exodus, chs. 32–34 specifically. Scholars rightly translate the verb קרן as "to shine," but there is no consensus as to its function. Unlike some interpretations, this article argues that Moses' shining face functions to signify God's goodness and grace to the Israelites, not his judgment and wrath. The attendant "veil" is more akin to a head-scarf and should not be confused with the veil of the tabernacle. The function of the veil is simple–it is worn as a response to the Israelites' fear in Exod 34:30 and used by Moses to conceal his face when he is not operating as a mediator.
Paul's Imprisonment as the Glory of the Ethnē: A Discourse Analysis of Ephesians 3:1–13
Authors: SHERWOOD AARON 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In Eph 3:2, Paul is moved to interrupt his prayer for the audience by something he has said in v. 1, and he does not resume the prayer until 3:14, after the digression of vv. 2–13. The reason for Paul's digression and how it satisfactorily addresses whichever concern prompted it represents a lacuna in Ephesians scholarship. This essay engages in a discourse analysis of Eph 3:1–13 to clarify its structure, thereby revealing the purpose it serves in its immediate context as well as its role within the letter as a whole. So that the audience might accept his instruction, Paul argues that, because his imprisonment is defined by his apostleship, his imprisonment is not a source of shame that undermines God's purposes but rather a source of honor that confirms God's eschatological plan. Consequently, the prayer in 3:1, 14–19 now has behind it not just the audience's narratio of 1:20–22 but the joint force of the audience's narratio together with Paul's narratio in 3:1–13.

Authors: Saravia-Rojas MÁ , Nima G , Geng-Vivanco R , Abuna GF , Tay LY , Puppin-Rontani RM 
Published: April 2022

SUMMARY

Aim
To evaluate the influence of different enamel etching times on the bond strength of two self-adhesive resin cements (RCs) with and without thermocycling (TMC).

Methods
One hundred twenty bovine teeth were used. Blocks of enamel (8×4×2mm) were obtained, polished, and randomly divided into two groups, according to the RC used: MaxCem Elite or RelyX U200. Groups were subdivided into four groups (n=16), according to the etching time: Control (0 seconds), 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 20 seconds. Three RC cylinders (1-mm diameter) were built on each enamel block. The specimens were submitted to two storage conditions: 24 hours in distilled water or TMC (5000 cycles/5°C-55°C). Afterward, the specimens were submitted to the shear bond strength (SBS) test. The failure modes and adhesive interfaces were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Data were analyzed with three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test (α=0.05).

Results
Etching increased the SBS for both the RCs,especially forthe groups etched for 5 and 10 seconds. TMC affected negatively the SBS of the control groups (p&lt;0.05). No resin tags were observed in control groups, and the formation of tags was time dependent.

Conclusion
The 10 seconds etching time was more effective in increasing the enamel–resin bond strength. TMC negatively affected bond strength in specimens without acid etching.
Rubber Bullet-Induced Wound of the Cheek
Authors: Fesenko Ievgen 
Published: April 2022

A 23-year-old male was directed to the Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital on January 19, 2014 due to severe left cheek injury (Panel A). The patient arrived at ~09:40 p.m. conscious and with a gauze bandage on his left cheek soaked in blood. Oral mucosa was not damaged. Crowns of the teeth were uninjured. The margins of the wound looked lacerated but vital, without characteristic powder burn. A skin and subcutaneous tissue defect measured ~1.5 × 1.5 cm in size was noted. The initial wound debridement was performed under the local anesthesia. The depth of the wound reached ~0.5 cm with no evidence of wound canal. No foreign bodies were noted. Part of Syspur-Derm® (Paul Hartmann, Germany), a soft spongy bandage, was individualized and sutured for temporary closure of skin defect. The antibiotic was prescribed and after two weeks the patient directed to plastic surgeon. According to media reports dated January 19, 2014, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (i.e., militsia―the name of police in January 2014) have applied rubber bullets against protesters on Hrushevskoho Street, Kyiv in January 19, 2014. In that time, militsia were subordinated to Zakharchenko Minister of Internal Affairs and President Yanukovych, both had escaped to Russia due to the multiple shootings of protesters on Instytutska Street, Kyiv. The patient told the doctor that injury was obtained on Hrushevskoho Street approximately one hour before. Further investigations of journalists revealed that the incriminated weapon was Fort-500. Fort-500 is a series of 12/76 mm pump-action rifles manufactured by the Research and Production Company “Fort” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.3 Panel B demonstrates the appearance of “Teren-12P” rubber bullets (in gray color) without and in the chambers (i.e., shells or cartridges) (in white color). Data showed that such bullets were used for the Fort-500 at January 19. Characteristics of the “Teren-12P” ammunition:
•	Caliber: 12.
•	Length: 65 ± 1.8 mm.
•	Diameter: 21.97… 22.45 mm.
•	Bullet mass: 8.4 ± 0.5 g.
•	Bullet flight speed 3.5 m from the muzzle: 140 ± 20 m/s.
“Teren-12P” ammunition with an elastic bullet of shock-traumatic action are designed and manufactured for firing from smoothbore rifles of 12th caliber with a chamber length of 70 mm. Such weapon and bullets belong to less-lethal weapon and are used in protest cases by some national polices.

Authors: Korniiets P. 
Published: April 2022

It is noted that the study of administrative and legal principles of preventing and combating corruption in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, as a holistic mechanism, can not take place without determining the competence of the subjects of such activities. As a result, the article is devoted to the disclosure of the content of the competence of the subjects of preventing and combating corruption in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine. The position on the need to separate competencies in the structure, namely: powers and functions, was supported. They also determine the subject matter of the competent entity. As a result, the powers of such entities to prevent and combat corruption in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, namely: the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, prosecutors, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, courts, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court, international private and public organizations.
It is stated that the content of the competence of the subjects of prevention and counteraction of corruption in the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine can be summarized through the following groups of powers: anti-corruption control; personnel; advisory, supervisory, rule-making, organizational, security, law enforcement and representative. In turn, the above powers to prevent and combat corruption in NABU determine the implementation of the relevant subjects of personnel, advisory, control, regulatory, organizational, security, regenerative, law enforcement, representative and preventive functions. Disclosure of the content of the competence of the subjects of prevention and counteraction of corruption in the activities of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine made it possible to identify some problems of its legal regulation. In particular, in order to eliminate terminological conflicts of legal regulation, the establishment of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the activities of NABU, part 1 of Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine "On National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine".

Published: April 2022

The article examines of mechanism for appealing against decisions, actions or inactions related to the election process. It is stated that in the election process there are inevitable disputes that need to be resolved quickly, as the election process is a temporary and fleeting phenomenon. The Electoral Code of Ukraine guarantees the right to appeal against decisions, actions or inactions concerning the election process to a court or election commissions. Ukrainian legislation provides judicial and administrative procedures for resolving election disputes, which differ in the range of entities that have the right to appeal, the subject of appeal, the procedure for reviewing applications, the legal consequences of decisions.
It was emphasized that the judicial procedure of resolving election disputes is a priority in comparison with the consideration of these disputes by election commissions. A comparative analysis of the Electoral Code of Ukraine and the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine of the subject of judicial appeal, which allowed to trace the numerous problems associated with the use of certain terms and structures, which requires changes in these regulations to harmonize them, which will positively affect the mechanism of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the subjects of the election process.
It is noted that not only courts and election commissions are the subjects of resolving election disputes. Such entities include the State Register of Voters and law enforcement agencies. The legal status of the prosecutor in the administrative court process as a subject of protection of citizens' voting rights has been studied.
Attention is drawn to the fact that accurate and strict observance by administrative courts of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine during the consideration of disputes concerning legal relations related to the electoral process is a prerequisite for ensuring their proper and prompt resolution to protect the rights, freedoms and interests of voters and others. subjects of the election process.
Suspension of the pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings in conditions of emergency legal regimes
Authors: Teteryatnyk H. 
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the suspension of pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings in conditions of emergency legal regimes. It is noted that the features of the pre-trial investigation are influenced by a number of specific factors that are not characteristic of criminal proceedings in ordinary legal regimes.
Attention is focused on issues related to the suspension of the pre-trial investigation on the grounds of declaring a person wanted. It has been determined that the mechanisms of announcement in the international and interstate search need legislative regulation. The problems of cooperation with Interpol in the search for suspects who have committed criminal offenses in the temporarily occupied territories and in the context of armed conflict are considered. This is due to Interpol's assessment of such appeals in accordance with Article 3 of the Statute of Interpol, which prohibits organizations from interfering in matters of a military, political, racial or religious nature. The article also analyzes the issues of searching for persons in absentia proceedings.
It was determined that the report on suspicion of persons in the temporarily occupied territories was complicated, which became the basis for the investigating judge's refusal to grant a request for permission to detain the suspect and take him to court to decide on the choice of pre-trial detention.
The necessity of addition of part 1 of Art. 280 paragraph 4 of the CPC of Ukraine reads as follows: "if in criminal proceedings under emergency legal regimes no person was notified of the suspicion." This is due to the influence of factors of emergency regimes (impossibility or difficulty of departure of participants from certain territories in emergency legal regimes, establishing their location, lack of access to certain territories where investigative (search) actions, etc.) on the possibility of pre-trial investigation in cases where no person has been notified of the suspicion.
Disposal of communal property under the legislation of Ukraine: some theoretical and legal issues
Authors: Byelov D.M. , Novak O.O. 
Published: April 2022

Theoretical and practical features of the management of communal property in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine are studied. The position on the need to qualitatively expand the content of the existing principles of communal property management was supported. The author is of the opinion that the formation of effective local self-government as part of the goal of the administrative-territorial reform introduced in Ukraine requires, among other things, taking into account the general principles of economic activity, including greater dispositiveness in decision-making by local governments.
Gaps have been identified within the limits set by the current legislation for the management of communally owned property in correlation with approaches to the implementation of business relations in Ukraine.
An analysis of the current legal framework governing the boundaries and procedures for decision-making on the management of communal property revealed a lack of declarative rules that determine the prerequisites and procedures for the transfer of communal property from the common property of territorial communities in Ukraine. Author expressed an opinion that the existing procedure of managing objects of property rights of territorial communities, as an element of powers of the property owner, restrains the action of the principle of material and financial independence of local self-government enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine.
It has been established that one of the key criteria that should be followed by entities empowered to manage communal property is social orientation in making any organizational and business decisions.
The idea of outsourcing as one of the most pragmatic ways to improve the efficiency of communal property management is supported given its wide range of optimization properties. The author also noted the possibility of delimitation of powers between local governments to manage the common property of territorial communities in the context of contractual relations established on the basis of voluntary cooperation and mutual responsibility.
Pragmatic Potential of Designations of Ancient Egyptian Realities in Modern Russian Media
Authors: Abu Elela M. A. M. 
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to the consideration of pragmatic potential as a peripheral aspect of the meaning of foreign words denoting ancient Egyptian realities. The material for the study was publications in modern Russian media. The total array of the considered lexemes is 25 names and 280 examples of their use. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the pragmatic zone of the meaning of words, that call the ancient Egyptian realities. Particular attention is paid to identifying the evaluative variability of their semantics, due to the informant’s communicative strategy and contextual word usage. Their structural classification into two main groups has been developed: 1) appellatives; 2) onyms. It is shown that the first group consists of those ancient Egyptian realities that are included in the vocabulary of the Russian language: pharaoh, sphinx, papyrus, etc., and the second group includes onomastic realities, which are divided into anthroponyms, egronyms and pragmatonyms: Ramses, Nefertiti, Horus and others. It is proved that appellatives have a high frequency. The largest proportion of units are lexemes with a positive pragmatic assessment.
Short-term outcomes of sulcus placed intraocular lens with optic capture in eyes with compromised capsular bag
Authors: Joshi Rajesh , Bajaj Asheesh , Haldar Saumya 
Published: April 2022

Objectives:
The aim of the study was to evaluate outcomes of sulcus placement of the intraocular lens (IOL) with optic capture in complicated case scenarios with compromised capsular bags.

Materials and Methods:
Records of 31 patients (31 eyes) who had received implantation of IOL in the sulcus with optic capture as a primary or secondary procedure were retrospectively reviewed. The optic was captured in the capsulorhexis or remainder capsular opening while the haptics were placed in the sulcus. Primary outcome measures were the post-operative stability and centration of IOL, evaluated using slit-lamp examination and photography. Indications for optic capture and post-operative improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were also noted.

Results:
Optic capture was well maintained and IOL well-centred with haptics secured in the sulcus in all patients at 1 month. Posterior capsular rupture during primary cataract surgery was the most common indication, followed by decentred IOL as a secondary procedure. CDVA improved from log MAR 0.9 ± 0.43 at baseline to log MAR 0.23 ± 0.15 at 1-month post-operative.

Conclusion:
Optic capture is a safe and effective technique to achieve good IOL stability, centration, and visual acuity.
