title: Christian Zen in Austria
Creators: name: Ebner, Josephine
Year: 2024

description: Christliches Zen wird in Europa und insbesondere im deutschsprachigen Raum, wo es sich unter anderem durch Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle SJ (1898-1990) entwickelt hat, zunehmend als wichtige Strömung der Zen-Praxis anerkannt, ist aber bisher nicht Gegenstand eingehender historischer und religionswissenschaftlicher Forschung gewesen. Christliche Zen-Gemeinschaften begannen sich in Österreich in den späten 1970er und in den 1980er Jahren um drei Hauptnetzwerke zu bilden: die Gemeinschaft des katholischen Priesters Karl Obermayer (geb. 1939) in Wien, das christliche Einkehrzentrum „Haus der Stille“ bei Graz und das „Ökumenische Haus der Stille“ in Puregg bei Salzburg. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der Auswertung von Primär- und Sekundärliteratur sowie auf qualitativer ethnographischer Forschung durch teilnehmende Beobachtung und Interviews mit christlichen Zen-Lehrenden und -Praktizierenden. Sie befasst sich mit dem historischen Hintergrund, vor dem christliches Zen entstanden ist, gibt einen Überblick über seine Ursprünge und Merkmale und bewertet die gegenwärtigen Entwicklungen des christlichen Zen in Österreich.
description: Christian Zen has been increasingly recognized as an important stream of Zen practice in Europe and in particular in German-speaking countries, where it developed through the work of Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle SJ (1898–1990) and others, but it has not been the subject of in-depth academic research from a historical and Religious Studies perspective. Christian Zen communities began to form in Austria in the late 1970s and in the 1980s around three main networks: the community of the Catholic priest Karl Obermayer (b. 1939) in Vienna, the Christian retreat center “Haus der Stille” (House of Silence) near Graz and the “Ökumenisches Haus der Stille” (Ecumenical House of Silence) in Puregg, near Salzburg. This study is based on the review of primary textual material and secondary literature, as well as on qualitative ethnographic research through participant observation and interviews with Christian Zen teachers and practitioners. It looks at the historical background in which Christian Zen emerged, provides an overview of its origins and characteristics and assess the contemporary developments of Christian Zen in Austria.

description: BACKGROUND: Water kefir is a beverage with potential benefits for weaned piglets, including increasing feed intake and being a source of probiotics and organic acids. However, experimental confirmation of this potential is lacking. The aim of this pilot experiment was to develop a method for producing and delivering water kefir to weaned piglets at farm scale, assess its palatability and identify potential side effects in piglets varying in weight. RESULTS: The method described here is applicable to farm practice, as it could produce >50 L water kefir per day with little investment and time. The lactic acid concentration and pH in the water kefir remained stable between batches, while the acetic acid concentration was more variable. Piglets consumed the total quantity offered, which represented about 1 L per piglet per day. No clinical signs of disease were observed requiring medication administration to the piglets. However, a trend of reduced growth was observed when water kefir was offered, especially in the lighter piglets. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to its applicability on farms, the water kefir production method facilitates experiments in young livestock under farm-scale conditions. The health-promoting potential of water kefir may be increased by elevating the nutrient supply in the culture medium. No critical issue was identified that would prevent the distribution of water kefir to weaned piglets. However, the reason for the trend toward reduced growth and whether this trend would be reversed in situations with greater disease pressure remain unclear.

description: Objectives: To evaluate the combined effects and relative importance of socio-cultural factors as well as parents' subjectively perceived and objectively assessed environment on time children spent vigorously playing outdoors. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in Berne, Biel-Bienne, and Payerne (Switzerland) during the school year 2004/2005. Included 1345 parental questionnaires from children out of three age groups (6/7, 9/10, and 13/14 years). A total of 1081 (80%) provided a home address, which could be linked to environmental data using a geographic information system (GIS). Results: GIS-derived main street density in a buffer of 100 m around the home was inversely associated with time playing outdoors in adolescents and younger children, but only in more urbanized areas. In addition and independently of GIS-based main street density, parental concern about traffic safety was associated with less time playing outdoors in primary school children. Girls, adolescents, and children from the French speaking part of the country spent less time playing outdoors. A non-Swiss nationality and having younger siblings increased time playing vigorously outdoors in adolescents. Conclusion: In addition to socio-cultural factors, parents' perceptions and objectively measured environmental factors were significantly associated with the time spent vigorously playing outdoors. These associations differed by age group.

description: The rise of armed groups and youth violence in Africa, particularly in North-western Nigeria, is partly attributable to cultural disruptions caused by external influences, including colonialism, globalisation, and modern communication. In Sokoto State, this issue is manifested in the alarming proliferation of Area Boys gangs. These gangs engage in activities such as vandalism, organised fights, and violent protests, contributing to a broader security crisis with potential links to banditry and kidnapping. Historically, the Hausa and Fulani communities of Sokoto State embraced a culture of morality, peace, tolerance, and Islamic universalism rooted in indigenous traditions. However, the disruption of cultural transmission, compounded by the political exploitation of armed groups, has normalised youth violence. This article explores Hausa and Fulani indigenous knowledge systems, emphasizing values of morality, peace, and tolerance as a framework for addressing the challenges posed by Area Boys gangs and restoring societal harmony in Sokoto State.
AN EMPATHY PRIME STUDY OF NARCISSISM AND RAPE MYTH ACCEPTANCE AMONG HETEROSEXUAL COLLEGE MALES
Creators: name: Long, Alexandra D.
Publisher: name: American University

description: An estimated 20-25% of women are sexually assaulted during college (Krebs et al., 2007). College males report sexual assault perpetration at rates as high as 61% (Abbey et al., 2006). Rape myth acceptance (RMA) is defined as maintaining false, prejudicial beliefs about rape (Burt, 1980). It is associated with sexual assault perpetration and likelihood of committing rape (e.g., Tharp et al., 2012). Narcissism has been linked to campus sexual assault perpetration (e.g., Mouilso & Calhoun, 2016). Empathy manipulation studies have shown decreased likelihood of committing sexual assault (e.g., Foubert & Newberry, 2006). However, deficient empathy is a core feature of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and narcissistic traits were not measured in such studies. In the present study, a sample of 74 heterosexual undergraduate men completed measures of empathy, grandiose narcissism, pathological narcissism, vulnerable narcissism, and sexual narcissism. In an empathy priming procedure, participants read a date rape vignette and completed a brief writing task. Participants were randomly assigned to either the “empathy group,” in which empathy was primed through instructions to “put yourself in the woman’s shoes,” or to the “objective group,” in which participants were instructed to remain detached. Then, RMA was measured. My findings show that empathy negatively predicted RMA, and narcissism positively predicted RMA. Pathological narcissism significantly interacted with experimental condition to predict RMA such that among individuals who were low on pathological narcissism, RMA scores were lower in the empathy group compared to the objective group. Conversely, among individuals who were high on pathological narcissism, RMA scores were higher in the empathy group compared to the objective group. The same pattern was found for vulnerable narcissism interacting with group to predict RMA. My study confirms previous findings that empathy and narcissism are related to RMA. The results suggest that empathy priming may decrease RMA among college males who score low on pathological or vulnerable narcissism; but surprisingly, for those high on pathological or vulnerable narcissism, empathy priming may increase RMA. These data highlight the importance of considering personality traits when developing sexual assault prevention programs, as empathy priming may incur serious repercussions among certain populations.

description: This research explores the topics of perceived brand globalness (PBG) and perceived brand localness (PBL) in the B2B context—specifically in terms of how brand localness and globalness factor into B2B buyers' decision making. It does so by examining co-branding relationships that involve alliances between well-known global and local B2B brands with unknown B2B brands in order to tease out the specific influence of brand globalness and localness on buyers' quality evaluations of the unknown brand. In other words, it considers the potential spillover effects of well-known PBG and PBL ally brands on lesser-known focal brands in brand alliances. Notably, we analyze data collected from a sample of Brazilian and U.S. based purchase decision-makers and uncover a number of robust findings likely to benefit both academics and practitioners.

description: Manilkara hexandra Dubard is a highly reputed medicinal plant of Ayurveda. In the current study, High-performance Thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) techniques were established for the analysis of triterpenoids like lupeol (LU), betulinic acid (BA), epimeric flavan-3-ols (+)-catechin (CA), and (−)-epicatechin (ECA), in its leaf and stembark. HPTLC separation was performed using petroleum ether: ethyl acetate: toluene: formic acid (7:2:1:0.3, v/v/v/v) as a mobile phase to resolve LU and BA at Rf 0.51 and 0.34, respectively. Further, derivatization was done using a 1% anisaldehyde–sulphuric acid reagent. For CA and ECA, the mobile phase was di-isopropyl ether: ethyl acetate: formic acid (9:0.5:1, v/v/v), resulting in sharp bands at Rf 0.43 and 0.38. The result showed that the leaf contains high levels of BA and CA, while the stem bark is rich in LU and ECA. Both methods were simple, accurate, and reproducible and would potentially be useful for the standardisation of M. hexandra Dubard.

description: The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

description: This study assessed the effectiveness of agricultural extension teaching methods in facilitating students' skill acquisition for okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) production in Colleges of Agriculture (COA) in North-East geopolitical zones, Nigeria. Six research questions, six hypotheses and descriptive survey design were used for the study. The population comprised 389 final-year students from Adamawa State College of Agriculture (ASCOA) and Yobe State College of Agriculture (YSCA), with 186 and 203 students, respectively. A sample of 349 students (166 from ASCOA and 183 from YSCA) was randomly selected. A 60-item questionnaire consisting of seven sections and 5-point rating scale used for data collection was faced validated by three experts. Cronbach’s alpha yielded an overall reliability index of .80, with section-specific indices of .79, .72, .84, .77, .86 and .81 for section B, C, D, E, F and G respectively indicating that the instrument was reliable. Research questions were analyzed using Mean and Standard Deviation, and independent t-tests were applied to test hypotheses at a .05 significance level. The results indicated that demonstration, lecture, discussion, inquiry-based, project-based, and cooperative teaching methods were effective in enhancing students' skills for okra production. No significant difference was found in students’ responses regarding the effectiveness of these methods. Based on these findings, it is recommended that COAs implement a robust monitoring and evaluation system to regularly assess teaching methods and curriculum content. Periodic curriculum revision, based on feedback from students, industry stakeholders, and educational assessments, is also advised to meet evolving agricultural education needs.

Remarks: Described from adult instars. According to a supposition of Vercammen-Grandjean (1965b), these mites could be postlarval stages of Microtrombicula celiae, because some individuals of the latter, which is known exclusively from larvae, were found together with T. minteri. Note, however, that a similar hypothesis concerning Blankaartia nilotica (Trägårdh, 1905) led to an erroneous association of postlarval stages with larvae belonging to a different family (Vercammen-Grandjean 1973).

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) spore density and root colonization are considered sensitive to host species and abiotic factors such as climate and soil. However, there is a knowledge gap about how fragmented native forest remnants might contribute to AMF conservation, what is the AMF spore density and root colonization, and to what extent climate change, particularly warming, might impact AMF. The aim of the study was to quantify the AMF spore density and root colonization along altitudinal gradients in three agro-ecological zones of nine church forests in northern Ethiopia. Data were collected from 45 plots. All the surveyed church forest species were colonized by AMF. However, we found a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in root colonization and AMF abundance in forests at high elevation. The topsoil had significantly (p < 0.05) higher root colonization and AMF abundance than subsurface soil. We found strong negative correlations between altitude and both spore density and root colonization and soil fertility. While we cannot separate whether spore density was temperature or soil limited, we can demonstrate the importance of conserving certain tree species, particularly Ficus species, which harbor high spore densities, in both lowland and midland church forests. In the highland, no Ficus species were found. However, Hagenia abyssinica, another Rosales, had the highest spore density in the highland ecoregion.

tensile force

description: In view of the important role played by roots against shallow landslides, root tensile force was evaluated for two widespread temperate tree species within the Caspian Hyrcanian Ecoregion, i.e., Fagus orientalis L. and Carpinus betulus L. Fine roots (0.02 to 7.99 mm) were collected from five trees of each species at three different elevations (400, 950, and 1350 m a.s.l.), across three diameter at breast height (DBH) classes (small = 7.5–32.5 cm, medium = 32.6–57.5 cm, and large =57.6–82.5 cm), and at two slope positions relative to the tree stem (up- and down-slope). In the laboratory, maximum tensile force (N) required to break the root was determined for 2016 roots (56 roots per each of two species x three sites x three DBH classes x two slope positions). ANCOVA was used to test the effects of slope position, DBH, and study site on root tensile force. To obtain the power-law regression coefficients, a nonlinear least square method was used. We found that: 1) root tensile force strongly depends on root size, 2) F. orientalis roots are stronger than C. betulus ones in the large DBH class, although they are weaker in the medium and small DBH classes, 3) root mechanical resistance is higher upslope than downslope, 4) roots of the trees with larger DBH were the most resistant roots in tension in compare with roots of the medium or small DBH classes, and 5) the root tensile force for both species is notably different from one site to another site. Overall, our findings provide a fundamental contribution to the quantification of the protective effects of forests in the temperate region.
Die Holzfassade - Grundsätze und Trends

description: Die Fassade (ursprünglich von lat.: facies: Angesicht) ist ein repräsentativer Teil eines Gebäudes und vermittelt den Betrachtern einen ersten Eindruck. Je nach Zustand kann das Urteil über das Gebäude unterschiedlich ausfallen. Holz spielt bei der Gestaltung der Fassade (in Fachjargon auch Aussenwandbekleidung) eine wichtige Rolle und erlebt zurzeit eine Art Renaissance, vor allem bei großvolumigen und mehrgeschossigen Bauten. Die Erwartungen an Holzfassaden sind dabei hoch. Gebäude werden immer mehr zu großen Möbelstücken, die mit viel Kreativität gestaltet werden (Abb. 1). Dabei gerät manchmal etwas in Vergessenheit, dass der natürliche Baustoff Holz im Außenbereich ein anspruchsvolles, ja herausforderndes Material ist.

description: Seit einigen Jahren sind auf dem Markt vermehrt bifaziale Photovoltaikmodule (PV-Module) erhältlich. Diese können gemäss Abbildung 1 auf der Front- und Rückseite Licht in Strom umwandeln. Für verschiedene Anwendungen (insb. Winterstrom auf Flachdächern oder im Gebirge) können diese Module vertikal installiert werden. Allerdings ist häufig unklar, mit welchen Abständen und Ausrichtungen vertikale Module installiert werden sollen. So müssen diese Werte in jedem Projekt von neuem mit aufwändigen Simulationen berechnet werden. Der Einfluss von lokalen Faktoren auf die Installation (z. B. Schnee, Bodenreflexion, oder Winternebel) ist meist nicht bekannt und muss ebenfalls mithilfe von Simulationen oder Experimenten ermittelt werden. Dieser Leitfaden soll eine Hilfestellung bei der Auslegung und Dimensionierung bifazialer, vertikaler PV-Anlagen in der Schweiz sowohl im Mittelland wie auch im Gebirge bieten.
description: Depuis quelques années, on trouve de plus en plus de modules photovoltaïques (modules PV) bifaciaux sur le marché. Ceux-ci peuvent, selon la Figure 1, convertir la lumière en électricité à l’avant et à l’arrière. Pour permettre des applications spécifiques (notamment l’électricité hivernale sur les toits plats ou en montagne), ces modules peuvent être installés verticalement. Cependant, on ignore souvent les distances et les orientations requises par ces modules verticaux. Ces valeurs doivent donc être calculées pour chaque projet à l’aide de simulations complexes. L’influence des facteurs locaux sur l’installation (par exemple la neige, la réflexion du sol ou le brouillard hivernal) n’est généralement pas connue et doit également être déterminée à l’aide de simulations ou sur une base empirique. Ce guide a pour but de fournir une aide à la conception et au dimensionnement des installations PV verticales bifaciales en Suisse, tant sur le Plateau suisse qu’en montagne.
