SANTOS, Jeová Rodrigues dos. "Uma leitura crítica do livro de Habacuc na perspectiva da fenomenologia da religião." PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDIES - Revista da Abordagem Gestáltica 14, no. 2 (2008): 218–24. http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/rag.2008v14n2.9.

Abstract:

The proposal of the present article is to analyze the approaches and estrangements among the presuppositions of the Religion’s Phenomenology (process of internal constitution of the religious phenomenon, its social function, and the plausibility of the religion in the post-modernity) and the message of a prophetic book of the Old Testament denominated Habacuc, that is about subjects that relate the religion with problems linked to the social injustice and the implant of the justice in its time. The relevance of this analysis meets in the fact that the religious phenomenon and the concepts of justice and social injustice are intimately related and they accompany the human beings from the first well-known civilizations to day.

Abstract:

The matter of whether the Gestalt-Therapy and Person Centered Approach are phenomenological approaches is controversial in the contemporary scenario of humanistic psychology in Brazil. In 1991, Luis Claudio Figueiredo published a book about the main stream psychological thoughts, in which both approaches are considered not phenomenological. This article intends to make a contribution to this discussion by establishing a dialog between the Person Centered Approach and Gestalt- Therapy with the psychological main streams as conceived by the author.

Abstract:

Alejandro Morales's The Rag Doll Plagues is a metafictional novel that comments on literary history. In its three books, Dr. Gregory Revueltas battles a mysterious and ravaging plague, during the 1780s, 1980s, and mid–twenty-first century. In each book he leaves a legacy of writing for the next Gregory to read. By reading and writing this archive, or library of cultural knowledge, the final Gregory develops a historical consciousness that helps him see beyond his episteme's limited science and derive a cure for the recurring plague. His confronting the plague by reading his own writing both intimately and critically is an allegory for the efficacy of literature as a response to historical trauma. Gregory does not gain agency over history, but through the self-conscious reading of his archive he is able to place himself in a cultural trajectory otherwise inaccessible in each book's bracketed historical moment.

Abstract:

Analysis of the book The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson, which focuses on the origins of a New Age within western societies. Ferguson reviews aspects of the social movements that questioned the rational scientific paradigm leading to the birth of a consciousness revolution. After describing the confusion and crisis of belief and knowledge that occurs in post-modern societies, it is shown that Fergusons arguments points out that a rebirth of a new spirituality (based in the search for mystical experiences) is motivated by the idea that true knowledge comes from within the individual. There is a strong correlation between Fergusons assertion and the philosophical studies of Bergson and James in two primary ways: Intuition as a form of knowledge overcomes the limits of rationality and leads to the essence of what is being known, and faith is the result of the will to confirm what we have already anticipated as being real. Our conclusion presents the emergence of a real conspiracy as the foundation of a global spirituality capable of sustaining life on this planet promoted and supported by individuals.

Abstract:

Resumo A investigação trata dos primeiros livros impressos, os incunábulos. A tipologia escolhida foi o Livro de Horas, objeto repleto de imagens, destinado à oração em contexto laico. Estudou-se dois livros: o Horae ad usum Romanum (1493) e o Devote ghetidē vanden levē en̄ passie ihū cristi (1498). Objetivou-se comparar a solução gráfica nas duas edições, a repetição da gravura xilográfica relacionada à memória visual e o recurso da cor, com destaque para os fazeres e saberes gráficos do medievo. O resultado mostra que apesar da possibilidade reprodutiva da imagem impressa com a redução de custo, esse recurso foi pouco utilizado nas obras e a estética visual atendeu a públicos diferentes. Palavras-chave: Livro de Horas, Incunábulo, Xilografia. Abstract This research deals with the first printed books, the incunabula. The typology chosen was the Book of Hours, a fully image decorated prayer object used in secular context. Two books were studied: the Horae ad usum Romanum of parchment (1493) and the Devote ghetidē vanden levē en̄ passie ihū cristi of rag paper (1498). The aim was to compare the graphic solution in the two editions, related to visual memory the reiteration of woodcut engraving, the colour use, emphasizing the medieval knowledge and praxis. The result shows that despite the reproductive possibility of the printed image with the cost reduction, this resource was little used in the works and the visual aesthetics served different audiences. Keywords: Book of Hours, Incunabulum, Woodcut Engraving.

Abstract:

This book compares two uneasily related exile communities in early twentieth-century Shanghai: the Russians and the Jews. Although traders, including some Jews, had drifted down from Siberia from the mid-nineteenth century, the Russians in Shanghai, for a time the city's largest foreign community, were mainly remnants of Admiral Kolchak's “White” army who fled Vladivostok in 1922–23, with a rag-tag group of camp followers, aboard what remained of the former imperial fleet. Most settled in the French Concession district and worked as small shopkeepers. The Jewish refugees from Germany and Central Europe who followed in the period 1938–41 had little in common with the Russians, some of whom regarded the Jews as commercial rivals, and many of whom were deeply infected by the traditional anti-Semitism of the Russian extreme right.

Abstract:

AbstractA Koran written by Mehmed Şevki is the subject of this comparative analysis. This manuscript displayed an extensive degree of deterioration in 28 of the folios, while the rest of the manuscript is in considerably better condition. The aforementioned deteriorated sections of the book proved to be brittle and much darker in colour compared to the rest of this manuscript. The possible cause for this condition was ascertained using complementary techniques including the utilisation of micro-chemical (spot) tests, SEM-EDS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The Micro-chemical Herzberg test indicated rag fibres in the paper used for the Koran, while the Raspail test #1 revealed rosin only in the sizing material of the deteriorated folios. SEM-EDS identified the presence of iron in all layers of the deteriorated folios but not in the stable folios. These results led subsequently to the conclusion that the deterioration of the folios was in fact related to the acid-catalysed hydrolysis due mainly to the presence of rosin and oxidation processes promoted by iron ions. This finding was also supported by FTIR analysis. The analyses indicated that different sizing materials had been used in the papermaking process of the two types of folios. In addition, Raman, EDS and HPLC techniques were also applied for the characterization of the inks and dyes. The results showed that inks and dyes were consistent throughout the entire text, thus suggesting calligrapher Mehmed Şevki and illuminator Hüseyin processed the book continually. It is plausible that calligrapher Mehmed Şevki changed his paper supply during the writing process which is why today we see a variety of differences in the condition of the papers.

Abstract:

Goodby My Little Ones by C. Hickey, T. Lighty, and J. O'Brien, Onyx Books, 1996. This recent book, and the three others listed below, should be read by every pediatrician who is in the apnea monitoring business! It describes in detail the confession, trial, and conviction of "Mrs H," who murdered her five children. Two of these cases were reported by Dr A. Steinschneider in 1972, and formed the basis for the hypothesis of sleep apnea as a cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) (Pediatrics, 1972). This article started the apnea monitoring "rage" that continues today. The effectiveness of this monitoring in preventing deaths remains unproven despite extensive studies.

Abstract:

Background The Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG) has attracted increasing interest in recent healthcare discourse as an instrument to understand and measure the resilience performance of socio-technical systems. Despite its growing popularity in healthcare, its applicability and utility remain unclear. This scoping review aims to understand the practical application of RAG method and its outcomes in healthcare. Method We followed the Arksey and O’Malley, and the Levac and colleagues’ framework for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR Checklist. We conducted searches of three electronic databases [Medline, Embase and Web of Science] in May 2021. Supplementary searches included Google Scholar, web and citation searches, and hand searches of the nine seminal edited books on Resilience Engineering and Resilient Health Care. All English language, empirical studies of RAG application in the healthcare setting were included. Open Science Framework [Registration-DOI. 10.17605/OSF.IO/GTCZ3]. Results Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Diversities were found across study designs and methodologies. Qualitative designs and literature reviews were most frequently used to develop the RAG and applied it in practice. Eight of the studies had qualitative designs, three studies had mixed-methods designs and one study had a quantitative design. All studies reported that the RAG was very helpful for understanding how frontline healthcare professionals manage the complexity of everyday work. While the studies gained insights from applying the RAG to analyze organizational resilience and identify areas for improvement, it was unclear how suggestions were implemented and how they contributed to quality improvement. Conclusion The RAG is a promising tool to manage some of the current and future challenges of the healthcare system. To realise the potential benefits of the RAG, it is important that we move beyond the development phase of the RAG tool and use it to guide implementation and management of quality initiatives.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to the integration of traditional rag dolls into the play activities of preschool children. The content of the article is based on the author’s big working experience. Knowledge of the preschool childhood and traditional dolls allows the author to prove the possibility of using a folk rag doll in the play activities of modern preschoolers. The works of well-known psychologists, teachers, art historians, researchers of folk culture are considered as a conceptual basis for solving the selected problem. On the basis of theoretical analysis, the conditions of the most successful introduction of the traditional rag doll into the play activity of preschool children are put forward. The article reveals the stages of working with children (motivational, preparatory and activity). The content of each stage is disclosed in detail, indicating non-traditional manuals and play equipment. As an unconventional manual, it is proposed to use didactic toy books that help to acquaint children with Russian folk costume, its ensemble, decor, and accessories. There is also given a description of the play landscape rugs, their classification and characteristics. The article proposes the author’s development of the technology for the inclusion of a traditional rag doll in the play activity of modern preschoolers.

Abstract:

Over the past five years, the American public has witnessed a flurry of interest in “character” and “character or moral education.” In 1992, William Kilpatrick wrote a book that attracted widespread attention, Why Johnny Can't Tell Right from Wrong: Moral Illiteracy and the Case for Character Education. A year later, William Bennett's best-selling anthology of remedial readings appeared, The Book of Virtues. More recently, Gertrude Himmelfarb published a book on the Victorian golden age of morals. At the same time, within the educational field, a subprofession of consultants devoted to character work has aimed to affect schooling at the elementary and secondary levels. As early as the mid-1970's, theologians and ethicists began discussing the idea of character, taking their cue from Stanley Hauerwas. Common to all of these writers is the belief that character has a necessary tie to religion and democracy.

Abstract:

This research aims to describe the vernacularization process of Arabic grammar by studying the books that discuss the nahwu-sharaf rules translated by KH. Ahmad Muthahar of Mranggen Demak. There are several reasons that made KH. Ahmad Muthahar translate a lot of Arabic grammar books. These include: book writing movement was an academic culture that had long been built by Arab scholars and scholars of the Archipelago, to maintain and preserve the Javanese language literature written in the Pegon script, and to make it easier for the santris (students of the pesantren) and the public to learn the rules of Arabic. The sociolinguistics approach is used for this study. This study is a library research, the data of which were collected through listening, surveying and note-taking method. The data were analyzed for their content (content analysis). The study found that KH. Ahmad Muthaharâ€™s efforts to vernacularize the Arabic grammar in his books include: vernacularization of the grammatical symbols in order to understand text structure, vernacularization of the Iâ€™rab narration, vernacularization of the particles of the Arabic letters, localizing the change of meanings caused by changes of word forms (morphology).

On April 6, Joseph Smith, Jr., organized the Church of Christ—Mormonism—in Fayette near the Finger Lakes. Shortly thereafter, Joseph's unschooled younger brother Samuel filled a knapsack with copies of the book and traveled to villages westward to make converts to what he believed to be the restoration of primitive Christianity. From these beginnings, a small army of itinerant missionaries gathered several thousand American converts throughout the 1830's.

At this time, not much was known in academic circles about Rae's life in Canada except for the remark in the preface to his 1834 book, Statement of Some New Principles on the Subject of Political Economy …: “I exchanged the literary leisure of Europe for the solitude and labors of the Canadian backwoods.”

Abstract:

In 1976, a young theologian named Donald Dayton wrote an influential book that sought to put asunder what he saw as an unholy marriage between evangelical religion and conservative politics in America. In Discovering an Evangelical Heritage, Dayton showed how revivalistic Protestantism had, in the nineteenth century, been wedded firmly to progressive political causes. Dayton began his book by frankly admitting that his own political views had been heavily influenced by the student movements—antiwar, civil rights, equal rights— of the 1960's. Separate chapters linked evangelical religion to nineteenth-century movements for racial equality, economic justice, and feminism. In his final chapter, Dayton argued that twentieth-century evangelicalism had abandoned its heritage of radical social reform under the dual influence of premillennialism imported from England and ideas about biblical inerrancy formulated at Princeton Seminary.

Abstract:

On April 19, 1995, a Ryder truck filled with fenilizer and racing fuel explodedoutside the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and wounding 500 others. Harvest of Rage is an extremely readable and informative attempt to placethis brutal terrorist attack within the context of Christian fundamentalism,right-wing politics, and the dramatic decline in the living standards ofAmerica’s rural population. Joel Dyer is the editor of the Boulder Weekly andhas written many investigative features on the farm crisis and the rise of theradical right. He begins by stating two themes that govern his book the reluctanceof most Americans to recognize the existence of numerous terroristorganizations within America itself and the increasing tendency of thesegroups to use violence to achieve their aims.While the smoke was still clearing from America’s most infamous terroristattack, all eyes looked across the Ocean for answers. The national media beganto explore which faraway terrorists were likely culprits. After all, this wasOklahoma City, the middle of the American heartland, and only the mind ofsome foreign murderer could have conceived such a bloodthirsty plot.But in Oklahoma and around the nation, FBI agents were looking across ourown Oceans of wheat, corn, and barley for their answers. They weren’t raidingthe homes of Palestinian nationals or people born in Imq or Iran. Within hoursof the blast, they were questioning men and women who had attended meetingson how to stop farm foreclosures or on how to return the country to a constitutionalrepublic (p. 1).Harvest of Rage is divided into three parts: “Fertile Ground,” “The Seeds ofInfluence,” and “The Harvest,” all three of which share with the book‘s title anindebtedness to organic metaphors. This reliance on organic imagery is a majorfeature of Dyer’s book; the once-rich lands of the American heartland, heimplies, are now fertile grounds only for terrorism. “Fertile Ground” examinesthe disastrous impact of recent government policies on America’s rural population,the subsequent disenchantment with conventional government, and thesubsequent allure of organizations which respond to this growing dissatisfactionand anger. “The Seeds of Influence” focuses on the nature and beliefs ofthese numerous, primarily right-wing Christian groups which have proliferatedthroughout rural America in recent years, in particular those influenced by“Christian Identity” beliefs. ‘The Harvest” examines the bitter disputes concerningthe meaning of the American Constitution and the increasing relianceof America’s disaffected rural population on common-law courts. Dyer is, ofcourse, a journalist, and the book’s audience is the educated general reader. Attimes, Harvest of Rage is a little too lushly written, but the reader is never leftin doubt as to the seriousness of the author‘s subject: “We will continue to paythe price-one building, one pipe bomb, one bumeddown church at a timeuntilwe come to understand, first, that the nation is holding a loaded gun to its ...

Zhou, Mingjun. "Does accounting for uncertain tax benefits provide information about the relation between book-tax differences and earnings persistence?" Review of Accounting and Finance 15, no. 1 (February 8, 2016): 65–84. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/raf-05-2014-0054.

Abstract:

Purpose – This study aims to use research setting provided by the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 48 (FIN48) to help develop a further understanding of large positive book–tax differences (LPBTD) and their relationship with earnings persistence. Extant literature indicates that the tax information provided in financial statements, such as large book–tax differences, is useful for detecting earnings management and signals less persistent future earnings. However, more information is needed about the causes of large book–tax differences and their abilities to signal the differences in earnings persistence (Blaylock et al., 2012). Design/methodology/approach – In the first step, temporary book–tax differences are ranked by quintiles based on the approach in Hanlon’s (2005) study and the highest quintile in the sample observations are designated as large positive temporary book–tax differences (LPBTD). In the second step, differences in the persistence of earnings for high tax-planning firms as measured by UTB_NonETR are searched for. In further testing, an ordered logistic model and the Vuong (1989) test are applied to compare both the incremental and the relative ability of UTB_NonETR and Cash-ETR to explain the ranking order of temporary book–tax differences. Findings – The negative relation between temporary differences and earnings persistence is moderated by the level of tax planning as measured by UTB_NonETRs. More specifically, the persistence of earnings appears to be higher for firm-years with large UTB_NonETRs. When comparing the relative power of UTB_NonETR with Cash-ETR, the results indicate that UTB_NonETR is incrementally useful for explaining the ranking orders of temporary book–tax differences. However, it appears that neither UTB_NonETR nor Cash-ETR is relatively more useful over another under the Vuong (1989) test. Originality/value – First, the part of UTB, if recognized, that would not affect earnings (UTB_NonETR) is used as an empirical proxy and its usefulness is tested in the context of book–tax differences and the persistence of earnings. Second, new evidence is provided supporting the predictions, as in Ayers’ et al. (2010) and Blaylock et al.’s (2012) studies, that the level of tax planning will attenuate the negative association between large book–tax differences and earnings quality. Third, the findings can contribute to the post-implementation review of FIN48 (Financial Accounting Foundation, 2012) supporting the argument that FIN48 can provide decision-useful information for financial statement users.

Abstract:

A full-page ad in the September 30, 1946, issue of Life magazine shows a picture of a book called Peace of Mind being handed down from above by a male hand. “This New Best Seller,” the caption reads, “will help you find the happiness you have always sought.” Life readers may have wondered if the hand was supposed to be the author's, the publisher's, or the Lord's, but, in any case, it would have been Jewish. The author was a rabbi, the publisher was Simon and Schuster, and the God in question was the God of Moses rather than Jesus. The mysterious hand might have belonged to yet another Jew, as the book was the first religious best-seller to endorse Freud. In the advertisement, Harvard psychologist Gordon Allport testified that author Joshua Loth Liebman “shatters the long-standing myth that religion and psychology are necessary antagonists [and] proves that they converge upon a single goal—the enhancement of man's peace of mind.”

Abstract:

This review seeks to critically unravel Bogdan Bucur's Sociology of Bad Governance in Interwar Romania by using both an emic and an etic approach. From an emic perspective, that is, from inside the book, Bogdan Bucur's intellectual effort is really impressive. Despite a huge amount of data, Sociology of Bad Governance in Interwar Romania proves itself quite easy to read thanks to a solid organization. Additionally, due to the fact that the author has employed a classic academic recipe, the abovementioned book is also very coherent. However, looked at it etically, the book loses its internal coherence due to some conceptual and methodological blunders. Conceptually, despite the fact that the book brings to the fore the issue of bad governance and that it includes a theoretical chapter, the concept of good governance is left unaddressed. Methodologically, the author seems to have fallen in the trap of methodological nationalism. A consistent liberal and neo-marxist literature has already addressed the state as a historical institution which is more or less dependent on the international milieu. In his attempt to explain the administrative failures of the interwar Romanian state, the author has completely overlooked the path dependence explanation and the impact former empires had had on post-colonial states. Thus, a confusion between causes and manifestations of bad governance has emerged.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper considers how print culture was mobilized in the early 1990s to transmit spiritual beliefs, experiences, and emotions through an examination of the pragmatics of reading endorsed by Jewish Lights Publishing (founded in 1990). Using interviews, advertisements, internal memos, books, jacket copy, and reviews, this study reconstructs the ecology out of which Jewish Lights Publishing emerged, as well as the goals and assumptions about Judaism, Jews, and books that animated the creation of a new, and specifically spiritual, Jewish press. I argue that what makes Jewish Lights a spiritual press is not only the content and design of the books, but also the instructions the press offers for how to use the books it produces. This paper is not only about the production and circulation of spiritual Jewish books, but the production and circulation of beliefs about what spiritual Jewish books do for an imagined community of readers.

Abstract:

Producing a book as a tenured professor retired from the Department of Physiological Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, is probably not an activity to invite unusual notice. But if the book is titled Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness and if one of its chapters announces as its topic “The Human Aura: Living Vibrations Brought to Light,” perhaps there is reason to take a second look. “Too often we scientists get lost in our data,” observes Valerie V. Hunt, “forgetting that the essence of science is careful observation, deep thought, and wise deductions from both reasoning AND the exercise of mystical and dreamlike states.” With a declared background in neurophysiology and psychology as well as teaching experience at Columbia University, the University of Iowa, and UCLA, Hunt invites readers both lay and scientific: “Come with me on a journey of discovery into the research of the vibrant human aura that you can follow and understand. For scientists, my reasoning, although broad and penetrating—and sometimes mystical—is based upon scientific facts and clinical observations.”

Abstract:

The methodology employed in the author’s book Healing in the Bible (Baker Academic, 2010) is deliberately eclectic, though the coherence of the book lies in its theological perspective. It understands particular texts as participants in a common story that is marked by a confession of a God ‘slow to anger’—a story with historical roots and a future trajectory. The readings of biblical texts are the author’s own, reflecting the work of his teachers Gerhard von Rad and Claus Westermann.

Abstract:

I read with interest the detailed arguments presented by our colleagues at the Bartlett, complaining of the treatment of architecture by Unit of Assessment (UoA) panel 33 (arq 6/3, pp203–207). We and our colleagues from other disciplines at the University of Edinburgh were shocked at Architecture's Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) result. We had been confident of at least a 4, but were awarded a 3a. We spent a disappointing day with the architectural historian on the panel to ascertain how we could have been so wrong in the internal estimation of our rating. I also had private discussions with another architectural panel member. Those on the panel we spoke to seemed to know little about our work. Our portfolios of refereed designs were not called for. It seems that our groundbreaking books linking the history of engineering and architecture were too far removed from what engineers usually do, and were not rated. Our books and articles on theories of design and information technology seem to have been of no interest.

Abstract:

This article focuses on Alejandro Morales’s novel The Rag Doll Plagues (1992) and explores the transhistorical dimensions of the subordination indigenous and mestiza/o identities experience against colonial and postcolonial authoritarian forces in the borderlands between Mexico and the United States. Spanish colonialism, US racism and eco-destruction, each transpiring in different moments of the New World history, are the diverse forms the borderland crises take up in the three Books comprising the novel. Mestizaje and intercultural communication, as well as the retrieval of the indigenous and Mexican cultural traditions, foster the ongoing creation of new hybrid racial, ethnic and cultural identities in all the three Books and, thus, emerge as the analeptics to the diachronically persistent plight of racism.

Abstract:

How can the socially critical aspects of comedy be reconciled with a ‘happy ending’ which seems to affirm the existing order of things? This perennial problem has become acute in a period when both playwrights and comic performers are increasingly conscious of the dangers inherent in the stereotyping – racial, sexual, and hierarchical – on which so much comedy depends. In this article, Susan Carlson looks at some recent ‘meta-comedies’ which have used the form, as it were, to expose itself – notably, Trevor Griffiths's Comedians, Peter Barnes's Laughter, Susan Hayes's Not Waving, and Caryl Churchill's Cloud Nine – and analyzes their responses to comedy, which range from the despairing to the affirmative. She concludes that only Churchill has found a positive way of ‘connecting the painful recognitions of twentieth-century dissociations to comic hope’. Susan Carlson is Associate Professor of English at lowa State University. In addition to numerous articles on modern drama and the novel, she has published a full-length study of the plays of Henry James, and is currently working on a book about women in comedy.
