Abstract:

The article discusses the reception of John Woolman's Journal (1774) in Theodore Dreiser's The Bulwark (1946). John Woolman was a prominent 18th-century Quaker minister and abolitionist, whose Journal, usually defined as a spiritual autobiography, is his most famous text. Since its first edition, The Journal has been highly acclaimed among American autobiography readers and critics. In 1939 it was reverently perused by Dreiser. Two decades earlier, in 1914-1920, the writer had produced drafts of his Quaker novel The Bulwark but had not completed this text, partly due to a certain ambivalence he felt toward the protagonist. The 1920s-1930s, meanwhile, were decades marked by Dreiser's arduous intellectual and spiritual search and extensive reading. Arguably, it was Dreiser's acquaintance with Woolman's Journal which played a transformative role in his decision to reshape The Bulwark. The novelist rejected the original satirical portrayal of the central character and expanded the timespan of the novel. The idea of Woolman's influence on The Bulwark has been maintained by several critics; however, it was mostly mentioned without much elaboration. G. Friedrich's article (1955) and D. Pizer's monograph (1976) have been the only studies to discuss the reception in more detail. This article corroborates Friedrich's and Pizer's findings and contributes to the associations established in prior scholarship. Besides, it endeavors to provide a classification of Woolman's reception indicators in The Bulwark. Comparative analysis of the two narratives reveals two aspects of Woolman's reception in The Bulwark. The first aspect is associated with The Journal introduced to the plot as a book that accompanies the characters throughout their lifetime and is perceived differently by them in different periods. The Bulwark contains four explicit references to The Journal. Whereas it is a “desk companion” for the protagonist, Solon Barnes, the younger generation tends to perceive The Journal as an irrelevant, outdated text. The novel's final chapters emphasize the significance of Woolman for the characters. The second aspect of reception appears to be manifested in the numerous associations between the figure of Solon Barnes and the Journal autobiographical hero, their relatedness being suggested by psychological similarities as well as the novel plotting. The article argues that The Bulwark contains at least nine allusions to The Journal. These allusions may be discovered (1) in the chapters narrating Woolman's and Barnes's early years, (2) in the depictions of their worldviews, (3) in the motif of “intuitive communication”, (4) in third-person self-reference used by the two characters in the final chapters. The article concludes that the “personal spiritual drama” of Solon Barnes is composed by Dreiser with a considerable number of direct and indirect allusions to Woolman's autobiography.

Abstract:

Abstract This article provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of research in Polish practical theology, focusing on the significant pastoral challenges confronted by the Catholic Church in Poland today. Comprising two parts, the study begins with a descriptive analysis of the institutional framework of Polish theology. It highlights the contemporary landscape of Polish ecclesiastical universities and theological faculties, addressing concerns regarding didactics and the declining enrollment of theology students. Additionally, the article explores the recent evaluation principles employed by the Ministry of Education and Science for assessing Polish theological faculties. The second part of the article presents a research-based investigation into the primary pastoral problems in Poland, drawing on selected literature sources. These issues encompass: (1) the decreasing number of dominicantes and communicantes, (2) the Church’s engagement in the digital realm, (3) challenges associated with youth ministry, (4) the decline in student participation in religious education classes, (5) the absence of adult catechesis, and (6) the complexities surrounding the use of religious language. In response to the titular inquiry regarding Poland’s status as a bastion of Christendom, the study offers a cautiously affirmative response, considering certain reservations. Research findings demonstrate that the profile of Polish Catholics has undergone an inevitable evolution towards secularization in recent years, with Polish pastoral care not always keeping pace with this shifting mentality.

Abstract:

Headlines decried the fragility of American democracy during the 2020 elections, but extensive institutional structures steered officials in both political parties to certify the results of the election, and independent judges have validated their decisions. Political battles over election laws and procedures are not themselves signs of democracy’s demise, because legal and administrative guardrails contain the degree to which voting rights are threatened. These formidable institutional structures blunted former president Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and limited the scope and impact of new state legislation to restrict access to voting. The guardrails of elections operated as designed, but Trump’s unfounded charges of fraud coupled with state restrictions are corroding the credibility and fairness of elections. We examine the scope and function of election law and administration to understand how they protected American democracy in the contentious 2020 election.

Abstract:

Abstract This article presents evidence for a rising emancipatory spirit, across generations and around the world, in a life domain in which religion hitherto blocked emancipatory gains: sexual freedoms. We propose an explanation of rising emancipative values that integrates several approaches into a single idea—the utility ladder of freedoms. Specifically, we suggest that objectively improving living conditions—from rising life expectancies to broader education—transform the nature of life from a source of threats into a source of opportunities. As life begins to hold more promise for increasing population segments, societies climb the utility ladder of freedoms: practicing and respecting universal freedoms becomes increasingly vital to take advantage of rising life opportunities. This trend has begun to spill over into a life domain in which religious norms have until recently been able to resist emancipatory gains: sexual freedoms. We present (1) crossnational, (2) longitudinal, (3) generational and (4) multilevel evidence on an unprecedentedly broad basis in support of this theory.

Abstract:

The allegorical presentation of one’s own country as an antemurale Christianitatis (“forewall of Christianity”) is a European phenomenon which can be found everywhere where Latin Christianity borders, or has bordered, other cultural regions, such as for instance Islamic or Orthodox ones. In Hungary, Poland and Croatia in particular, but also in the Mediterranean area, on the Iberian peninsula and in the Baltic states, concepts were developed from the Middle Ages onwards, which stylized these countries and societies as “forewalls/bulwarks of Christianity” – later secularized as “forewalls/bulwarks of Europe”. The emergence of this notion of frontier identities and their accompanying ideology was closely connected to the political and religious situation of the time. The presumed existence of an antemurale implies the existence of a murus, and of an area protected by it. This was believed to be inhabited by members of the Christian community. This western Respublica Christiana – subordinated to the secular power of the Emperor and the spiritual power of the Pope – bordered on heathen, Muslim and schismatic countries to the East. In order to gain a better understanding of the background of the bulwark topoi mentioned above and the accompanying discourses concerning the Western fear of the East in particular, it is essential to consider the ideological basis for these ideas, which were built upon frontier identities, alterity and alienity constructions, as well as on relations between the centre and the periphery.

Full text

Abstract:

Among the commands of H, elderly honor, Sabbath observance, and mutual reprimanding of compatriots are hallmarks. The origin, genre, and a comparable legal framework of these sentences can be found in what was labeled rules of (local) religious associations known from demotic papyri, from the Fayum going back to the 6th century BCE. In a tone comparable to a constitutional legislation, H is seen as an analogy for the rules of conflict settlement of local communities: it seeks to keep out governmental authority from local affairs, stipulates the respective festival day, and claims jurisdiction for its local community. All of these are also key elements of H’s anti-Persian stance. Read as a constitutional law of local bulwarks fending off central governmental authority in Egypt, the rules of local religious associations provide a hermeneutical lens for an analogous historical reading of H as "constitutional law." H in Lev 19:3-4, 11-18, 30—as a document of the priestly community in Yehud—would strengthen local institutions, including the arbitrarily stipulated festival day at the sanctuary, the elders as local institution, and internal jurisdiction of a priestly community bolstering itself as a bulwark against transgressions of the Achaemenid empire.

Abstract:

This is the text of the author's inaugural lecture as a Professor at the Faculty of Law at Victoria University of Wellington. The author discusses the nature of entrenched bills of rights as a protection mechanism for human rights, particularly focusing on New Zealand and its Bill of Rights Act and the author's personal journey as a scholar. In the first part of the lecture, the author contrasts her intellectual journeys on constitutions and bills of rights with that of the previous generation, which includes the likes of Sir Kenneth Keith and Sir Geoffrey Palmer. The author suggests that the experience of both generations have been both the same and different due to the political and constitutional climates. In the second part of the lecture, the author argues that we are now in a position to start reaching definitive conclusions about how well the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 has worked by drawing on her own research. The author concludes that it is time for reform, suggesting that judges need more power to enforce constitutional rights.

This paper considers the legal proceedings in Thomas More’s trial on a charge of treason in contrast with certain specific protections and limitations as to power under the United States Constitution. King Henry VIII’s case against Thomas More demonstrates the risk to liberty when power is concentrated in one entity. A written constitution that limits government power and separates the exercise of judicial, legislative and executive power is the best protection against tyranny.

Full text

Abstract:

SUMMARYThe responses to treatment with chlormequat of winter oats at various rates of applied N were investigated in field experiments over two seasons. Chlormequat, applied at crop growth stage (GS) 32, significantly reduced stem length by an overall average of 25·3% in 1985/86 and 27·4% in 1986/87. The percentage reduction was not significantly influenced by variety or by the rate of N applied. All intcrnodes apart from the basal one were significantly shortened. The third internode from the base showed the largest percentage reduction and the uppermost internode the largest actual reduction in length, in all three varieties. Stem shortening was always associated with an increase in the weight per unit length of stem. In 1985/86 lodging in untreated control plots became more severe as N rate increased, but was completely controlled by the application of chlormequat at all but the highest rate (150 kg N/ha).Combine-harvested grain yields of the variety Pennal in 1985/86 and of Bulwark and Pcnnal in 1986/87 were reduced where chlormequat had been applied. Hand-harvested samples from these treatments did not show the same reductions in yield, but revealed a significant increase in the number of grains per panicle and a significant reduction in their mean individual weight. The grain characteristics of Peniarth were unaffected.The lengths of the main-stem panicles and primary branches in the panicle were shortened as a result of chlormequat application. In addition, the degree of branching and the number of spikelets were increased in the lower third of the panicle but reduced in the upper two thirds. In both Bulwark and Pennal the numbers of sterile grains were increased by the application of chlormequat and, in Bulwark only, the number of fertile grains was reduced. In Peniarth the numbers of fertile and sterile grains were unaffected.

Full text

Abstract:

The notion of borders will be questioned in this paper by depicting an ethnographic journey from which a counter-discourse emerged, a discourse that contradicts with the currently acknowledged discourses of borders. Border dis-courses are dominated by security and threat, by the meaning of the bulwark that surrounds nation states in physical, legal, political and ideational terms. Scholars have examined borders from various different perspectives and within the framework of different disciplines; academic discourses have emerged over the years (such as on securitisation), while national governments across the globe as well as the European Union (EU) attempted to seal their permeable borders. They have introduced ever more legal obstacles and enforcement measures to put their goal into practice: preserving sovereignty. The commonly acknowledged discourses on borders will not be challenged per se in its exist-ence, but empirical data will be used to demonstrate a different account of the notion of borders. This account makes light of the notion of borders as travellers followed their everyday business and dealt with the bulwark of the EU, the EU external border, with ease and amusement.

Abstract:

The paper highlights the key points of the issue’s main topic of the journal “Legal Concept” = “Pravovaya Paradigma” entitled “Three hundred years on guard for law and order: the history of the creation and prospects for the development of the Russian prosecutor’s office”. According to the author, the relevance of the issue’s main topic of is due to the definition of the place and role of the prosecutor’s office in the system of state control of the Russian Federation, a conceptual analysis of the legal essence of prosecutorial supervision and the need to improve its legal regulation. It is noted that the prosecutor’s office of the Russian Federation acts not only as one of the key elements of the check-and-balance system of the authorities, but also as their significant integrator and coordinator to ensure the proper unity of the entire state power. Its normative nature, enshrined in the federal legislation, allows an uncompromising response to the law violations, which makes it a bulwark of the rule of law of the Russian state. The growth of the authority of the Russian prosecutor’s office and the effectiveness of its work is largely associated with the organization of management in the system of the prosecutor’s offices, the establishment of the prosecutor’s office’s place in the system of state-legal institutions, the functions performed and the effectiveness of prosecutorial response measures. An overview of the key issues that make up the content of the conducted research, characterizing its relevance, scientific novelty and theoretical and applied significance, is presented. The results obtained are aimed at improving the current legislation, eliminating existing legal conflicts and are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of prosecutorial supervision in modern Russia.

Islamic financial activities and products are conducted in compliance with the shari’ah and, therefore, they are less vulnerable to changes in monetary variables than conventional financial products. Due to the prohibition of interest and because of ethical and moral constraints, Islamic banks are restricted from investment in speculative transactions which lessens default risk and enhances effectiveness of liquidity management. Islamic modes of investment contribute to society’s wellbeing through the creation of wealth and employment to ensure economic stability and human development. In Islam, knowledge, information and work are the main ingredients for success (falah). In an information-intensive world, honesty, accountability and transparency are vital for market performance and business activities. The global financial crisis has caused instability in financial markets weakening confidence in the global economic system as well as increasing uncertainty about future macroeconomic trends.

Abstract:

Based on Bolívar's speeches, decrees, and correspondence as well as on Gran Colombia's constitutions and laws, this essay examines the tensions within Bolívar's vision of Venezuela's and New Granada's society produced by his republican, yet authoritarian and hierarchical ideas, his concern for keeping the lower classes of African descent in check, and his denial of Indian agency. It shows that even in Peru, Bolívar's main concern was to prevent the racial war and social disintegration that allegedly slaves and free Afro-descended people would bring to the newly independent nations. To prevent such an outcome, he advocated all along legal equality through the abolition of the colonial privileges and, since mid-1816, the abolition of slavery, but simultaneously the preservation of the monopole of power by the white creole elite. He secured the perpetuation of the socioracial hierarchy inherited from Spain by a two-edged citizenship: an active citizenship restricted to a tiny literate and skilled minority and an inactive citizenship for the immense majority of (mostly nonwhite) men.

Abstract:

The Large and Small Towers at the beginning of St Anthony’s Canal in Šibenik, on today’s capes Burnji Turan and Južni Turan, are part of the city’s medieval fortification system along with the castrum of St Michael and the bulwark, but they have remained largely neglected in scholarly literature. The towers remained part of Šibenik’s fortification system during the early modern period, until the construction of the fortress of St Nicholas and the eventual demolition of the two towers at the beginning of the War of Cyprus in 1570. Although they were built at a distance of nearly one kilometer from the bulwark, they were the earliest defensive belt of Šibenik from the sea. Between the towers, at a distance of about 140 meters, there was a chain that most likely consisted of interconnected wooden beams that allowed it to float. It is difficult to say with certainty when the Venetian authorities ordered the towers to be torn down, but apparently at least one of them was demolished during the so-called Third Venetian- Ottoman War (1537-1540), when the Venetian possessions in Dalmatia were seriously threatened by the powerful Ottoman fleet. The towers definitely ceased to be part of the fortification system at the beginning of the War of Cyprus in 1570.

Abstract:

Globalization on the one hand has a good impact on human life, but on the other hand, globalization often has a bad impact on generations, namely behaviors that tend to adopt outside cultures that enter without caring about regional cultures and national cultures. In line with this statement, this study aims to reveal how religious character can be a bulwark or control over the moral degradation of learners. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach of ethnographic type. The results of the study are, first, the religious character in Islamic boarding schools is developed in various forms, both intracurricular and extracurricular. Second, students in Islamic boarding schools have a strong religious character, so they are not easily influenced by cultures that are contrary to religious teachings. Third, the aspects that support the realization of a strong religious character in Islamic boarding schools are the discipline applied, the geography that is not easily accessible by the contamination of outside cultures, strong cooperation between all resources. The recommendation of this study is that educational institutions must strengthen the religious character of students, because with a strong religious character, it has been proven to be a bulwark of moral degradation of students in the era of globalization.

Abstract:

Повышение безопасности судов в штормовых условиях при наличии зарываемости носовой оконечности, когда может произойти её захват волной, сопряжено с необходимостью определения гидродинамических сил и моментов, возникающих в носовой оконечности судна и оценки влияния на их величину конструктивных элементов носовой части судна, в частности, фальшборта. В настоящей работе для исследования динамики взаимодействия носовой оконечности судна с внешней средой использовался метод SPH. Выполнена оценка гидродинамических сил, действующих на носовую оконечность в направлении обтекания и в поперечном направлении, показавшая, что их величина может быть весьма существенной и представлять опасность с точки зрения обеспечения безопасности мореплавания. Исследовано изменение гидродинамических сил и моментов, действующих на носовую оконечность, в зависимости от угла крена судна а также геометрических характеристик фальшборта. Показано существенное влияние главных размерений и условий загрузки судна, а также фальшборта и его характеристик, на величину гидродинамических сил и кренящих моментов, действующих на носовую оконечность судна в условиях ее зарываемости в волну. Improving the safety of ships in stormy conditions in the presence of burrowing of the bow, when it can be captured by a wave, is associated with the need to determine the hydrodynamic forces and moments that arise in the bow of the ship and assess the impact on their magnitude of the structural elements of the bow of the ship, in particular, the bulwark. In this work, the SPH method was used to study the dynamics of the interaction of the bow of the ship with the external environment. An assessment of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the bow in the flow direction and in the transverse direction has been carried out, showing that their magnitude can be very significant and pose a danger from the point of view of ensuring the safety of navigation. The change in hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the bow is investigated, depending on the roll angle of the vessel and the geometric characteristics of the bulwark. A significant influence of the main dimensions and loading conditions of the vessel, as well as the bulwark and its characteristics, on the magnitude of hydrodynamic forces and heeling moments acting on the bow end of the vessel in the conditions of its burrowing into a wave.
