Du Mez, Kristin Kobes. "The Beauty of the Lilies: Femininity, Innocence, and the Sweet Gospel of Uldine Utley." Religion and American Culture: A Journal of Interpretation 15, no. 2 (2005): 209–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/rac.2005.15.2.209.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the 1920s, a child evangelist by the name of Uldine Utley toured the United States, attracting large crowds and captivating the press. She enjoyed the support of ministers from a wide variety of denominations, though her most ardent proponent was the famous fundamentalist preacher John Roach Straton. In many ways, Utley's success seems to counter existing narratives of early-twentieth-century religious history. Her revivalist ministry developed in an era that saw the decline of revivalism, and she rose to prominence during the height of the fundamentalist-modernist controversy. Claiming to adhere to biblical “literalism,” she nonetheless affirmed the appropriateness of female preaching. And, in the wake of efforts to masculinize American Protestantism and rediscover a “muscular” Christianity, Utley was known and celebrated for her femininity and beauty.Utley's femininity was, in fact, central to her appeal. She preached a “sweet and kindly gospel” and fashioned an elaborate feminine persona. Her diminutive size, her blond hair and blue eyes, and her white attire seemed to give her an “angelic” appearance, and her persistent association with flowers, both allegorical and real, further contributed to her aura of femininity. In the context of shifting gender arrangements and changing constructions of sexuality and morality in early-twentieth-century America, Utley's femininity and innocence provided a soothing alternative to the uncertain times. But the model of femininity Utley displayed was fraught with ambivalence and proved difficult to maintain as she matured from child to young woman. In addition to illuminating a frequently overlooked strand of conservative Protestantism during this time, attention to Utley's life and ministry also reveals a powerful yet ambivalent script that remains available to modern Protestant women to this day.

Background:Bimekizumab (BKZ) is a humanised IgG1 monoclonal antibody, which selectively neutralises interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F. There is support for the BKZ mechanism of action as a novel therapeutic approach for psoriatic arthritis (PsA).1-3The phase 2b dose-ranging BE ACTIVE study assessed the efficacy and safety of BKZ in patients (pts) with PsA; data are reported elsewhere.4Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly recognised as important endpoints in clinical trials.5The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease-9 (PsAID-9) questionnaire was specifically developed to assess health-related quality of life (QoL) in pts with PsA5and its validity in clinical practice has been demonstrated.5-6Objectives:To report the association between PsAID-9 score (a PRO) and disease activity response (very low disease activity [VLDA], minimal disease activity [MDA] or Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis [DAPSA] remission) during 48 weeks’ (wks’) BKZ treatment.Methods:Details of the study design (NCT02969525) are reported elsewhere.4Here, we report the proportion of pts who achieved a PsAID-9 score ≤3, and the association between PsAID-9 score at Wk 48 (range 0–10, where 10 corresponds to worst QoL) and VLDA/MDA (binary states of disease control) or DAPSA (range 0–>28 where 0–4 is remission, 5–14 is low, 15–28 is moderate, and >28 is high disease activity) at Wk 12.Results:Across 206 randomised pts at baseline, 66.5% had psoriasis body surface area (BSA) ≥3%, 18.9% had prior tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) exposure, and 63.6% received concomitant methotrexate. A substantial proportion of pts achieved MDA and/or DAPSA remission by Wk 12, which generally increased through to Wk 24 and 48 (Table 1). The 160 mg BKZ group saw the highest Wk 48 rates of MDA response (60.0%) and DAPSA remission (45.0%) (Table 1). The proportion of pts achieving a PsAID-9 score ≤3 was consistently high across all active treatment arms (Figure 1). PsAID-9 score was consistently lower (indicating better QoL) for pts with VLDA or MDA, and those in DAPSA remission (Figure 2), indicating that low disease activity was associated with improved PROs.Conclusion:In BKZ-treated pts, improvements in PsAID-9 were associated with achievement of VLDA/MDA response and DAPSA remission. These results suggest that pts achieving higher disease control have improved QoL.References:[1]Glatt S. Ann Rheum Dis 2018;77:523–32;2.Glatt S. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2017;83:991–1001;3.Papp KA.

This article discusses the ways that secretaries in the U.S. Young Women's Christian Association (USYWCA) used the Social Gospel to create a type of imagined community, which I call Y-space, in India. In the United States, USYWCA secretaries emphasized Social Gospel ideals such as the personal embodiment of Christ-like behavior, inclusivity, and working for the progress of society. In India, USYWCA secretaries used these same ideas to try to make Y-space an alternative to both the exclusive, traditional, British imperial “clubland” and the growing Hindu and Muslim nationalist movement. Instead, they promoted an idealized Americanized Anglo Indian/Christian woman who would engage in civic matters and embody Christian values, and serve as an alternative to the Britishmemsahib, and the Hindu nationalist woman. Despite the USYWCA's efforts to distinguish itself from British imperialists, the secretaries' attempts to create these Americanized Indian women reveals that that the USYWCA supported transforming Indian society according to imposed Western models, in much the same way as the British.

Full textAbstract:
In the synoptic gospels Jesus proclaims the imminence of the Kingdom of God but in John’s Gospel Jesus is concerned with the gift of eternal life. Interpretations of John’s Gospel have emphasised the relationship between salvation and an individual’s faith in Jesus. Several passages feature accounts of the meeting of Jesus and characters who come to faith in him such as the Samaritan woman, the blind man, Martha, and Thomas. The focus on the faith of individuals and their desire for eternal life has downplayed the importance of the natural world. An ecological strategy of identification, however, illustrates the ways in which Jesus is aligned with Earth. He offers the Samaritan woman living water, and he identifies himself as the bread of life (6:35), the light of the world (8:12), and the true vine (15:1). This strategy of identification highlights images of fruitfulness and abundant harvests. This approach, moreover, emphasises the presence of God in the processes of nature, and the gift of eternal life is described in terms of the abundance of the natural world. An ecological interpretation of John’s Gospel challenges the view that salvation may be defined purely in terms of the gift of eternal life to an individual, and points to an understanding of salvation as the restoration of the relationship of God, humanity, and Earth.

Full textAbstract:
The quest of New Testament studies for a well-resourced future would be substantially aided by its explicit abandonment of a narrow methodological focus in favour of building links with other disciplines and by its acknowledgment that exegetical insights may arise from examining the impact of biblical texts down the centuries. In the potential appropriation of Jesus by Christian transhumanists interested in human bodily enhancement, for example, the healings of his earthly ministry are ignored because they are understood to restore human bodies to a previous form (a position recognizable in much of New Testament scholarship) rather than augment them to a new one. Building on deaf nineteenth-century interpretations which see the mental abilities of the deaf man in Mk 7.32-37 as being enhanced beyond human norms by Jesus, this article examines the healings of three blind men (Mk 8.22-26, Mk 10.46-52 and Jn 9.1-41). While the Johannine blind man is explicitly said to be blind from birth (whatever New Testament translations have often been made to say!), this article proposes that Blind Bartimaeus in Mk 10 should also be viewed this way. While their becoming sighted restores them to a common human pattern, their lack of prior sighted-experience means that it is their ability to see instantly that strongly implies the presence of an augmentative element to their healings. A postscript notes the different attitudes to the permission required to transform the human body within these narratives and suggests transhumanists consider the ethical implications of each story carefully before they incorporate the earthly Jesus into their arguments.

Crawford, Matthew R. "The Diatessaron, Canonical or Non-canonical? Rereading the Dura Fragment." New Testament Studies 62, no. 2 (February 29, 2016): 253–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0028688515000478.
Full textAbstract:
Among those texts that vied for a position as authoritative Scripture, but were eventually rejected by ecclesiastical authorities, was the so-called Diatessaron of Tatian. Having been compiled from the four canonical gospels, Tatian's work occupies a liminal position between the categories of ‘canonical’ and ‘apocryphal’, since the majority of its content was common to users of the fourfold gospel, though this content existed in a radically altered form and was tainted by association with an author widely accused of heresy. In order to demonstrate the originality of Tatian's gospel composition, this article gives a close reading of the only surviving Greek witness to it, a fragment of parchment found in excavations at Dura-Europos. Dura's very location as a borderland between Rome and Persia corresponds with the fact that in this outpost garrison city Christians were using a gospel text that would have appeared markedly strange to those in the mainstream of the Christian tradition. The wording that can be recovered from the Dura fragment shows how Tatian creatively and intelligently combined the text of the four gospels to produce a new narrative of the life of Jesus, choosing to leave out certain elements and to make deliberate emendations along the way. However, it was precisely such originality that made his gospel appear problematic, so in order to rescue his text from censure, later scribes had to domesticate it by making it conform throughout to the canonical versions. Comparison of the Dura fragment with the medieval Arabic gospel harmony and with the Latin version in Codex Fuldensis illustrates well this process whereby Tatian's gospel went from being a rival to the fourfold gospel to a designedly secondary, and therefore acceptable, work.

Full textAbstract:
Background: It remains unknown whether access to elite blind sports opportunities is globally balanced or matches the prevalence of blindness/visual impairment (VI). The primary objective of this study was to determine the rate of elite blind sports participation in each world region registered in the International Blind Sports Federation’s (IBSA) and to assess its association with the global and regional prevalence of blindness/VI. The secondary objective was to determine the association between other covariates, such as age, vision class, and sex, with the number of IBSA-registered athletes from each region. Methods: A baseline estimate of blindness/VI data was established and used when comparing participation rates to blindness/VI rates. Descriptive statistics were used to describe sports participation and associated co-variates. Results: Among 123 member countries registered in IBSA, 31 did not have any completed registrations in blind sports, of which 22 had a prevalence of blindness/VI higher than the global average. During the summer season 2019, 738 (29.52%) IBSA athletes were female and 1762 (70.48%) were male. Conclusions: These results suggest elite blind/VI sport participation is limited independently from blindness/VI prevalence. Increasing blind-friendly sport resources, especially in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), would improve the rate of elite sport participation among athletes with blindness/VI.

In one of the strangest stories in his strange Gospel, Mark records the two-stage healing of a blind man by Jesus in Bethsaida (8.22–6). Jesus’ first healing action of spitting on the man's eyes and laying hands on them is only partially successful; the man now sees something, but what he sees is people who look like walking trees (8.24). His vision is still unclear, so Jesus must repeat the therapy, this time with more felicitous results: και διεβλεψεν [sc. oτυϕγoς] και απεκατεστη και ενεβλεπεν τηλαυγως απαντα. But how exactly is this clause to be translated?

Full textAbstract:
The Church worships Mary of Nazareth as the Lord’s Mother (Luc 1, 43) and the Mother of God. In the Fourth Gospel the Mother of Jesus appears only at the beginning and at the end of the book and in both cases in the context of the „hour” of Jesus (John 2, 1–12; 19, 25–27). In the Evangelist’s comments she is referred to as the „Mother of Jesus” and her Son calls her a „Woman”.In the debate about the omission of the name of the God’s Mother in the Gospel of John most exegetes emphasize the symbolic meaning of the book and probably in connection with it the author’s intention to depict some persons as types in the narration. Besides Jesus’ Mother the names are not given to the woman of Samaria (4, 7), the royal official of Capernaum (4, 46), the man blind from birth (9, 1), and finally the disciple whom Jesus loved. Therefore the role of these people seems to be special.According to tradition John’s Gospel, being the product of well-developed Christology, was created in its final shape in Ephesus at the end of the 1st century. It was the time of various religious and philosophical trend clashes and the beginning of Christological errors. In these circumstances, Christian orthodoxy crystallized. The Fourth Gospel can be characterized as decidedly Christocentric. It seems that the author of the book was particularly careful not to overemphasize the importance of the Mother of Jesus, but to present her true role in the historical-salvific work of her Son by means of the indicated titles. Mary is Mother of Jesus, but she isn’t situated on the same level with his heavenly Father, therefore she is also defined as a “Woman”. For the disciples of Jesus she is Mother and new Eve. Both titles: „Mother of Jesus” and „Woman” express her specific position before Jesus and his disciples.

Consequences of the sinful acts, but there are also those who understand it as part of God's plan to reveal His work. The dualism of this opinion appears in the narrative in the Gospel of John 9: 1-7. The disciples gave such cynical questions about the suffering that has been experienced by the blind man as a consequence of the sin that was committed, but the Lord Jesus actually denied that through that suffering, the work of God should be made manifest in him. Which is right? What is the purpose of Jesus' argument? Why does he think so? Answering these questions, the researcher will use an exegetical approach to the text of the Gospel of John 9:2-4. This method is very important to research the purpose of Jesus' statement to the disciples' questions about the suffering of the blind man. This research finds the meaning of Jesus' argue which emphasizes how are the correct understanding and a real action towards the suffering of others. Penderitaan yang dialami seseorang sering dikaitkan dengan konsekuensi dari perbuatan dosa namun ada juga yang memahaminya sebagai bagian dari rencana Allah untuk menyatakan karya-Nya. Dualisme pandangan ini tampak dalam narasi di dalam Injil Yohanes 9:1-7. Para murid memberikan pertanyaan yang begitu sinis mengenai penderitaan yang dialami orang buta merupakan akibat dari dosa yang telah dilakukan, tetapi Tuhan Yesus justru menyanggah bahwa melalui penderitaan itu, karya Allah akan dinyatakan di dalamnya. Manakah yang benar? Apakah maksud argumen Yesus itu? Mengapa Ia berpendapat demikian? Menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut, peneliti akan menggunakan pendekatan eksegetikal pada teks Injil Yohanes 9:2-4. Metode ini sangat penting untuk meneliti maksud pernyataan Yesus terhadap pertanyaan para murid mengenai penderitaan orang yang buta tersebut. Penelitian ini menemukan makna pendapat Yesus yang menekankan bagaimana pemahaman yang benar dan sikap yang nyata terhadap penderitaan yang dialami oleh orang lain.

Full textAbstract:
The studies on the literary genre “gospel” are often compared with the so-called Greco-Roman bíoi and popular literature. The points of contact are numerous and undeniable. As well as the differences and peculiarities of the gospels, whose link with the Hebrew Bible is a unicum to be taken into account. In particular, the typology, with its network of references, makes the canonical gospels a text proceeding through continuous phenomena of association and repetition with the ancient Scriptures. As result, the narrative takes on particular tones insofar as it indulges little in the chronicle, concentrating rather on the richness of meaning hidden in entire story of Christ. Consequently, the gospels are evidence of a mixed genre, having some characteristics of the Greco-Roman bíoi and contemporary popular Lives, together with constant re-elaboration of OT elements re-read and applied in a typological key. And it could not be otherwise because the events and the protagonist of the gospels perfectly intersect the horizontal and vertical dimensions of a story merging with the eternal.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to measure blindness professionals’ implicit attitudes about the competence of people who are blind, compare implicit attitudes of blindness professionals with those of employers in hiring positions, and examine blindness professionals’ implicit attitudes by type of profession and work tenure. Methods: The study included 322 blindness professionals and 450 employers. Participants completed a brief online survey and the Implicit Association Test–Blind/Visually Impaired, which measures implicit attitudes regarding the competence of blind people. Results: On average, blindness professionals exhibited a slight association, whereas employers exhibited a strong association, for sighted with competence and blind with incompetence. Blindness professionals and employers had large, statistically significant differences in implicit attitudes. Blindness professionals’ implicit attitudes did not differ by type of profession, but they differed slightly by work tenure. Discussion: Employers’ strong implicit bias toward sighted and competence may reflect their limited knowledge about blindness and lack of opportunities to interact with blind people. Compared to employers, blindness professionals exhibited a much smaller implicit bias, which may relate to their knowledge about blindness, exposure to successful blind people, and meaningful interactions with blind people across social contexts. Implications for practitioners: Blindness professionals may benefit from increased exposure to highly successful blind role models throughout their professional preparation programs and their careers. Blindness professionals can promote positive attitudes about blindness to the general public and to consumers and their families. During educational opportunities, they could incorporate information about how blind people perform work tasks, which has the potential to improve attitudes about the competence of blind people.

Luke introduces Jesus' inclusive ministry to preach the gospel, fellowship and serve the excluded. In this context, people who are paralyzed, blind, deaf, poor, tax collectors who are considered sinful, they are the center of His attention. By observing the current mission which is oriented to the church planting mission, it is necessary to transform. The intended transformation is to change the motive of the church planting mission to a mission that is not an anthropocentric mission but a mission to glorify God. The method used in writing this scientific paper is a qualitative method. Literature study and the Bible as the main source in explaining. Aside from literature and Bible study sources, the sources obtained are based on facts from field observations.

AbstractTo test whether consumers can distinguish among different bottled waters and, if so, whether they prefer some to others, we recruited more than 100 subjects to participate in a blind taste test that consisted of four brands of bottled water featured in a restaurant's water menu and a guidebook to fine waters. The tasting involved three successive experiments. First, our subjects tried to distinguish bottled waters in a sensory discrimination test. They were only slightly better than random chance at doing so. Next, they rated bottled waters and tap water on a 14-point scale used at an international water competition. Some subjects preferred the inexpensive tap water to any of the bottled waters, and there was no association or a weak negative association between a bottled water's price and its rating. Finally, our subjects tried to distinguish tap from bottled water while matching the bottled waters to expert descriptions. They were no better than random chance at doing either of those things. Similar results have been found in previous taste tests of beer and wine. Overall, our results suggest consumers do not have strong preferences over different bottled waters to the extent they can even tell a difference. (JEL Classifications: D12, Q25)

Full textAbstract:
The topographic representation of space interacts with the mental representation of number. Evidence for such number–space relations have been reported in both synaesthetic and non-synaesthetic participants. Thus far most studies have only examined related effects in sighted participants. For example, the mental number line increases in magnitude from left to right in sighted individuals (Loetscher et al., 2008, Curr. Biol.). What is unclear is whether this association arises from innate mechanisms or requires visual experience early in life to develop in this way. Here we investigated the role of visual experience for the left to right spatial numerical association using a random number generation task in congenitally blind, late blind, and blindfolded sighted participants. Participants orally generated numbers randomly whilst turning their head to the left and right. Sighted participants generated smaller numbers when they turned their head to the left than to the right, consistent with past results. In contrast, congenitally blind participants generated smaller numbers when they turned their head to the right than to the left, exhibiting the opposite effect. The results of the late blind participants showed an intermediate profile between that of the sighted and congenitally blind participants. Visual experience early in life is therefore necessary for the development of the spatial numerical association of the mental number line.

The article provides a retrospective analysis of the emergence, formation and development of blind golf.
The chronology of the emergence of the first organizational and managerial structure of golf for the blind at the international level and at the level of individual states, their further reorganization and development is investigated. The classification of athletes-golfers with visual impairments and the international handicap calculation system are considered, which guarantees the same calculation of handicaps in all countries. The work of the member countries of the International Blind Golf Association, which today uses a single, rapidly growing database of players, coaches and volunteers. The competition system was analyzed and it was determined that six or seven national open championships are held annually, and The IBGA World Blind Golf Championships take place every two years. It is summarized that the conducted historical analysis of the development of golf for people with visual impairments suggests that the main trend of its development is the growth of its popularity and a significant increase in the geography of distribution, the formation of national organizational structures and golf management structures for the visually impaired at the international level. The organizational and management systems of golf for the visually impaired are represented by a training system, as well as a competition system, within which sports and recreational areas are combined.

Full textAbstract:
Crossmodal correspondences between seemingly independent sensory modalities are often observed in normal participants. For instance, colours commonly map consistently onto pure tones. In this study, we investigated colour-tone mapping in both normal trichromats and in people with congenital blindness. Participants were asked to match tones of differing pitch to named colours. In both cases, the tones selected varied consistently with the colour. The blind responses were similar to those of the trichromats, except in the case of red and green; the blind did not differentiate these colours, whereas the trichromats associated red with a higher tone and green with a lower tone. Otherwise, the results are consistent with a well-established association between pitch and lightness, with lighter colours associated with higher tones, and darker colours with lower tones. Because the blind never had any sensory experience of colour, their matching of colour to pitch is most likely based on semantic understanding.

They demonstrate that blind children experience many developmental problems which are thought to be important in the etiology of anorexia nervosa. Similarly, blind children are unusually susceptible to misperceive their body size and weight. The apparent absence of a strong association between congenital blindness and anorexia nervosa challenges the presumed aetiological link between disturbed body image and identity diffusion, and anorexia nervosa.

Abstract
This article focuses on the portrait of Jesus as depicted by the Johannine community according to John 9. Exploring the perspectives of Johannine scholars, the historical context of the Gospel of John, and the image of Johannine faith community, this study suggests that a born-blind man is a symbolic figure of the marginalized Johannine community. The marginalization is caused by the conflict between the blind man and the Pharisees, starting with Jesus’ violation of the Sabbath’s rule, and followed by identity conflict concerning Jesus and Moses. The epilogue of John 9 implies a portrait of Jesus as the Mediator through his actions to embrace the blind man following his expulsion. This article concludes with a theological implication concerning the presence of Jesus in the struggle of contemporary marginalized people such as GKI Yasmin and HKBP Filadelfia.
Abstrak
Artikel ini menyoroti gambaran Yesus yang dikonsepkan oleh komunitas iman Yohanian menurut Yohanes 9. Melalui penelusuran terhadap pandangan para ahli Yohanian, konteks historis Injil Yohanes, dan gambaran komunitas iman Yohanian, kajian ini menemukan bahwa orang buta sejak lahir dalam Yohanes 9 ini adalah tokoh simbolis dari komunitas iman Yohanian yang termarginalisasi. Marginalisasi tersebut disebabkan oleh konflik antara orang buta dan orang-orang Farisi yang dipicu oleh pelanggaran Yesus atas hari Sabat, lalu berkembang menjadi konflik identitas mengenai Yesus dan Musa; karenanya, mengakibatkan orang buta yang Yesus sembuhkan tersebut termarginalisasi dari sinagoge. Epilog Yohanes 9 menyiratkan potret Yesus sebagai mediator melalui tindakannya merengkuh orang buta tersebut setelah pengusirannya. Sebagai simpulan, artikel ini menyodorkan implikasi teologis tentang kehadiran Yesus dalam pergumulan umat masa kini yang termarginalisasi, seperti GKI Yasmin dan HKBP Filadelfia.

Full textAbstract:
The article engages with the protagonist of The Secret Gospel of Mary Magdalene by Michèle Roberts, first published in 1984 as The Wild Girl. Filipczak discusses scholarly publications that analyze the role of Mary Magdalene, and redeem her from the sexist bias which reduced her to a repentant whore despite the lack of evidence for this in the Gospels. The very same analyses demonstrate that the role of Mary Magdalene as Christ’s first apostle silenced by patriarchal tradition was unique. While Roberts draws on the composite character of Mary Magdalene embedded in the traditional association between women, sexuality and sin, she also moves far beyond this, by reclaiming the female imaginary as an important part of human connection to the divine. At the same time, Roberts recovers the conjunction between sexuality and spirituality by framing the relationship of Christ and Mary Magdalene with The Song of Songs, which provides the abject saint from Catholic tradition with an entirely different legacy of autonomy and expression of female desire, be it sexual, maternal or spiritual. The intertext connected with The Song of Songs runs consistently through The Secret Gospel of Mary Magdalene. This, in turn, sensitizes the readers to the traces of the Song in the Gospels, which never quote from it, but they rely heavily on the association between Christ and the Bridegroom, while John 20 shows the encounter between the risen Christ and Mary Magdalene in the garden whose imagery is strongly suggestive of the nuptial meeting in The Song of Songs.

Concept Development from research, the blind relies heavily on sensory references like touch to make a spatial judgment – the lack of such often results in accidents. Thus, the solutions physicalize tactile cues, which they can rely on for the next step in the cooking process. Existing solutions in the market are often function-focused, with little attention paid to usability. Product utility is foreign and unnatural to the blind as it contrasts with their prior memory of performing a task. Therefore, this research study is to strategize the Blind User-Designer experience through design activities.

By the 1910s, the international consortium of women involved in the interdenominational Protestant Young Women’s Christian Association (ywca) faced a reckoning. Over the previous decade, a largely European and North Americanywcaleadership had expanded successfully what it called the “association movement” into countries it designated as foreign mission territories, establishing dozens of multifunctional community centers across the Asian continent. With their religious, educational, recreational, and vocational programming,ywcas proved adaptable to a wide variety of settings. This success, however, brought the challenge of indigenization, a challenge that sharpened as Western women came to terms with anti-colonial agitation and egalitarian Gospel rhetoric of foreign mission. Detailing theywcaof the United States’s administration of theywcas of Japan and Turkey in the early 20thCentury, this article contends that interpersonal and organizational negotiations of power ultimately gave rise to transnational partnerships that thrived as theu.s.women’s missionary movement ebbed.

This article demonstrates that black British West Indians and black South Africans in post-First World War Cape Town viewed ‘American Negroes’ as divinely ordained liberators from South African white supremacy. These South-African based Garveyites articulated a prophetic Garveyist Christianity that provided common ideological ground for Africans and diasporic blacks through leading black South African organizations like the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA), the African National Congress (ANC) and the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU). This study utilizes a ‘homeland and diaspora’ model that simultaneously offers an expansive framework for African history, redresses the relative neglect of Africa and Africans in African diaspora studies and demonstrates the impact of Garveyism on the country's interwar black freedom struggle.

Full textAbstract:
Visual deprivation can induce alterations of regional spontaneous brain activity (RSBA). However, the effects of onset age of blindness on the RSBA and the association between the alterations of RSBA and brain structure are still unclear in the blind. In this study, we performed resting-state functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging on 50 sighted controls and 91 blind subjects (20 congenitally blind, 27 early blind, and 44 late blind individuals). Compared with the sighted control, we identified increased RSBA in the blind in primary and high-level visual areas and decreased RSBA in brain regions which are ascribed to sensorimotor and salience networks. In contrast, blind subjects exhibited significantly decreased gray matter volume (GMV) in the visual areas, while they exhibited significantly increased GMV in the sensorimotor areas. Moreover, the onset age of blindness was negatively correlated with the GMV of visual areas in blind subjects, whereas it exerted complex influences on the RSBA. Finally, significant negative correlations were shown between RSBA and GMV values. Our results demonstrated system-dependent, inverse alterations in RSBA and GMV after visual deprivation. Furthermore, the onset age of blindness has different effects on the reorganizations in RSBA and GMV.

The oxygen consumption (VO2) of 30 (10 females, 20 males) legally blind adolescents and their sighted controls were compared for treadmill walking (3 mph, 4.8 km/h) and running (6 mph, 9.6 km/h). The VO2 of the visually impaired subjects averaged 24.4% and 10.8% higher than those of their same-sex age-matched controls, and 42.8% and 11.2% higher than the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) norms for walking (p<.01) and running (p<.05), respectively. The normal association between aerobic capacity and locomotor energy costs was evident among the sighted controls (r= .44, p<.05) but insignificant (r=.35, p>.05) for the visually impaired subjects. The energy costs of both walking and running were highest among the totally blind subjects, and decreased toward normal as a function of residual vision among the legally blind subjects. The energy costs of walking and running for blind adolescents are higher than both those of sighted controls and the ACSM norm values.

<span>Navigating safely in the real environment especially in the outdoor setting requires a blind person to be equipped with the spatial knowledge and possess the skills in mobility and orientation. The aims of this study are to investigate the existing wayfinding learning techniques taught to blind people and to identify the challenges during the teaching and learning processes. A two days of observation during a mobility practical session was conducted at Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB). The first objective was to explore the current techniques used by mobility instructor to teach visually impaired students for a wayfinding and second, to identify the challenges faced by the mobility instructor and the visually impaired students in the teaching and learning processes of wayfinding. The study discovered that the major problem faced by the mobility instructor was with the lack of teaching aids to describe a new environment to visually impaired students. This leads to the lack of time that caused the visually impaired students perceived insufficient information which was hard for them to construct the intended cognitive maps. From the findings, this paper concludes by discussing the recommendations primarily on the use of technology in addressing the problems identified in this study.</span>

Full textAbstract:
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) is an indolent B-cell lymphoma characterised by a fascinating interplay between chronic antigenic stimulation, an immune response insufficient for elimination of the antigen and a mucosal ‘battleground’. The archetype of this association is infection of the gastric mucosa with Helicobacter pylori (HP): a single course of antibiotic HP-eradication treatment may result in long-term remission in up to 80% of patients and is the gold standard for first-line therapy of HP-associated gastric MALT lymphoma. In extragastric or disseminated disease, treatment options range from wait and see in asymptomatic individuals to radiotherapy in localised stages, anti-CD20-antibodies in patients with low symptomatic burden and chemotherapy-based treatment or radio-immunotherapy in symptomatic disease. In addition, more refined immunomodulatory strategies beyond simple eradication of bacteria such as long-term use of the macrolide clarithromycin or the immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide are active. In view of the indolent clinical course, the least toxic individual treatment should be chosen in a disease usually not influencing overall survival in affected patients.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the middle of his account of justification and sanctification, Karl Barth turns to Luke 15:11–32, the Parable of the Lost or Prodigal Son. Interpreting it in the context of the whole Gospel, he draws an apparently unprecedented association between Jesus Christ and the younger son, who goes into the far country and squanders his existence. This provocative christological reading arises from a profoundly intertextual imagination, and its coherence emerges as it is aligned along the referential correlates Barth evokes. In his comprehensive theological retelling, this paradigmatic tale of grace becomes the parable not only of reconciliation, but also of election, and finally of God.

Introduction:
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the common head and neck malignancies found in Indonesia. Diagnosis was based on histopathological result of tumor tissues taken from the nasopharynx. Histopathological from nasopharyngeal blind biopsy remains a golden standard of NPC diagnosis. Blind biopsy causes many problems for patients including pain sensation, risk of bleeding and traumatic effect. Another technique for obtaining specimen for evaluation malignant cells of nasopharynx was by cytological investigation. Cytology evaluation could detect malignant cells from smear specimen. Cytological specimen could be obtained from nasopharynx by brushing method. Cells are collected by brushing then processed with liquid-based technique; specimens were smeared and stained for cytology evaluation. Since nasopharynx location is invisible, then nasopharyngoscopy guidance was used to obtain a brushing specimen.
Objective:
To analyze an agreement between cytological results from nasopharyngeal brushing under nasopharyngoscopy and histopathological results from blind biopsy as a golden standard for the detection of malignant cells in NPC patients.
Method: Diagnostic test with the cross-sectional comparative study. Population of this study was NPC patients who came to outpatient Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya. Samples were collected with consecutive sampling method during February until May 2011. During that period we obtained 36 patients as study samples. First we performed brushing method under nasopharyngoscopy guidance and then blind biopsy of nasopharynx on each patient. Cytology preparation processed with liquid-based technique liquiPREP and Papanicolaou stain. Histopathologic preparation used hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. Sample data was tested by McNemar test and Kappa association test.
Result:
36 samples were obtained consisted of 27 male (75%) and 9 female (25%). The result for cytological evaluation in detecting malignant cells of NPC patients was sensitivity 87.10%, specificity 80%, positive predictive value 96.43%, negative predictive value 50% and accuracy 86.11%. Statistically, analysis result with McNemar test was no significant difference and from Kappa association test there was a significant association between brushing method under nasopharyngoscopy guidance and blind biopsy.
Conclusion:
There was an agreement between brushing method under nasopharyngoscopy guidance and blind biopsy in detecting malignant cells of NPC.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores how maternal interactive behaviors experienced during the childhood of adults with congenital blindness are associated with their subsequent development and personality. Many researchers have found a high frequency of maternal directiveness and overprotection in sighted mother-congenitally blind child relationships. One open question is whether these behaviors may have negative effects on congenitally blind children's subsequent development, or whether they may have a functionally adaptive-strategic role. The purpose of this study was to discriminate between the two hypotheses. This objective was pursued by adopting the theory of attachment and administering the Adult Attachment Interview to 15 participants with congenital blindness. Results suggested that directive and overprotective maternal behaviors are experienced by the persons with congenital blindness as encouraging and functional as long as they are accompanied by an affective, loving, and supportive attitude. Results did not support the hypothesis that directive and overprotective maternal interactive behaviors have a necessarily negative effect on the development of persons with congenital blindness.
