Abstract:
The use of drugs, in Honduras, involves 25% of college students. The most used substances include legal and recreational drugs, such as alcohol. This study aimed to identify the use of drugs and socio-demographic factors in a sample of 260 medical students. RESULTS: Average age of 20 years old, unemployed and religious women, single, with no children. Alcohol was the most consumed drug in the last six months for recreational purposes. The following stimulants were frequently consumed: caffeine, mate herb tea, energetic drinks and Coke. Drugs like marijuana, cocaine, valium and sedatives were used in smaller proportions. The reasons reported by women were: to alleviate tiredness and improve their academic performance. The men's reasons were recreation and to alleviate psychological tension. This research has implications for the development of drugs prevention programs in universities.

Abstract:
AbstractIvan the Terrible loved hunting but between 1548 and 1564 he seems not to have indulged his favorite pastime. An anonymous English account written 1556-1558 says that Ivan had given hunting up for religious reasons. Three Russian texts written between 1550 and 1563, an entry in the Nikon Chronicle for 1556-1557 which praises Ivan for abstaining from hunting to become a true pastor of his flock, the Domostroi, a book of household management, and two vitae in the Stepennaia kniga tsarskogo rodosloviia (Book of Degrees of Imperial Genealogy), contain diatribes against the cruelty and immorality of hunting. These texts echo a minority anti-hunting tradition in medieval and early modern Europe. As in Europe hunting continued unabated, but in Muscovy it is possible that the anti-hunting animus of these texts inspired at least one temporary convert, Ivan the Terrible himself.

Abstract:
Each fall from 1984 to 2007 a group of Lutheran pastors in Texas gathered at the ranch of another pastor to hunt white-tailed deer during the opening week of the annual hunting season. Called “Nimrod” after the ancient Babylonian king identified in the Bible as “a mighty hunter before the Lord” (Genesis 10:9), also an acronym for “November Invitational Ministerial Recreational Outdoor Diversion,” the event provided opportunities for recreation and fellowship for active and retired clergy, centered around the hunt. To the casual observer hunting is not an immediately obvious pastime to bring Christian ministers together. This ethnographic study examines the place of hunting within Christian theology and explores how the annual deer hunting retreat in fact created an ideal opportunity for clergy to escape from the social constraints of their professional lives while engaging in the deeply meaningful practice of harvesting wild game.

Abstract:
The paper determines the foundation of formation of a touristic recreational potential of Lviv region. Main contributing factors of development of the tourism industry of the region are investigated. It is established that the largest reserves of recreational resources are located in Drohobych, Zhovkva, Pustomyty, Sokal and Stryj districts. Small amounts of resources are concentrated in Brody, Zhidachiv, Kamenka-Buzka, Mykolayiv, Peremyshlyansk, Radekhiv, Sambir and Turka districts. Tourist routes of Lviv region were estimated. In particular, the most promising ones were evaluated, including the Golden Ring of the Boykivshchyna, the Russky Path – the old way through the Carpathians, Makivka – the mountain of the immortal glory of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen. The correlation-regression relationship between the indicators forming the tourist flows and the main components of the tourism development of the studied region was determined. The level and intensity of current usage of the potential of the region were estimated. SWOT-analysis of touristic and recreational potential of the region was carried out. The study of a touristic and recreational sector of Lviv region has made it possible to establish that its development depends primarily on the advantageous geographical location of the region, rich natural-resource and historical and cultural potential, and the development of touristic and recreational infrastructure. It was established that the region has all the necessary preconditions for the long-term development of cultural-cognitive, scientific-educational, religious, medical, hunting, ecological, business, sports and excursion types of the tourism industry. Particularly important and promising is the development of rural (green) tourism in the region. The development of touristic and recreational sphere of Lviv oblast depends, first and foremost, on the rational use of natural and cultural-historical resources, the reconstruction of sanatoriums and resorts, recreational and touristic establishments, the creation of material and technical base for the development of touristic and recreational industry, promotion of investment attraction, distribution of touristic product on the domestic and world markets and strengthening of international cooperation in the field of tourism and recreation.

Abstract:
The article draws a parallel between the concepts of “tourism cluster “and “territorial recreational system” (TRS) and notes the importance of the information sector in modern society and its influence on the development of TRS. Special attention is paid to sustainable development of the territory against the preservation of traditional landscapes. The authors investigate TRS of wine tourism, based on the wine production and tasting-cognitive ac- tivity in terms of Stavropol wineries (Budennovsk-Levokumskij and Kavminvodsky). Using the example of St. Michael-Athos monastery in settlement Pobeda of the Republic of Adygea, the authors research TRS of religious tourism developing on the basis of natural and cultural heritage and anthropogenic resources. By the example of Uchkulanskaya district of the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia the article analyzes sports tourism as a combination of four components - health-related, cultural-cognitive, competitive, spiritual and sacred, and also TRS, formed as a result of interaction of these elements. This study has revealed that the cluster approach combined with the idea of conservation of natural territorial complexes allows to make tourism a multifaceted in a particular area, even if there is one form of tourism within the specific TRS, amidst the natural aesthetics of the surrounding landscape. Comprehensive approach to development and planning of tourism can contribute to the territory sustainable development as a whole.

Abstract:
AbstractA powerful argument against the resurrection of the body is based on the premise that all resurrection theories violate natural laws. We counter this argument by developing a fully naturalistic resurrection theory. We refer to it as the revision theory of resurrection (RTR). Since Hick's replica theory is already highly naturalistic, we use Hick's theory as the basis for the RTR. According to Hick, resurrection is the recreation of an earthly body in another universe. The recreation is a resurrection counterpart. We show that the New Testament supports the idea of resurrection counterparts. The RTR asserts that you are a node in a branching tree of increasingly perfect resurrection counterparts. These ever better counterparts live in increasingly perfect resurrection universes. We give both theological arguments and an empirical argument for the RTR.

Full text
Abstract:

This study examined the measurable religious influence of participating in the Pioneer Trek Reenactment as an adolescent on young adults. A sample of 73 former Pioneer Trek Reenactment participants were surveyed. Both males and females were surveyed, and all respondents were between the ages of 18 and 35.

The results of this study may bring understanding to the impact of historical reenactment activities, such as the Pioneer Trek Reenactment, on their participants. The study showed how the participants' perception of the Pioneer Trek Reenactment from a religious, recreational, and physical perspective correlated with their current religious activity. This information would be helpful to those who plan and direct outdoor recreation activities, giving insight into how these activities can have a lasting positive impact on youth. The results of this study may help recreation professionals, teachers, and religious leaders build meaningful and effective curriculum for similar experiential learning activities.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an anthropological study of Uzbek women's everyday life and religious rituals, focusing on the experience and transformation of women's religious and ritual lives in the capital Tashkent, after Soviet rule lasting seventy-three years ended in 1991. The research was conducted over four years, covering English, Russian, and Uzbek language literature, periodical press, archive materials, and oral histories of women who experienced the challenges of the Soviet system and the social changes of the period since independence in 1991. A large body of literature has been written about women's ritual life in Islam, but relatively little about Uzbek women's ritual life within Islam since independence. This thesis introduces an ethnographic contribution to the literature by investigating Uzbek women's everyday life since independence. This thesis will lay out the historical background to the changes in the government of Uzbekistan between 1991 and 2011, in particular the transition from Soviet to independent rule. It will then examine the particular impact this change in government had on women's religious and ritual life, by comparing data gathered before and after the transition. The existing body of literature on women's ritual life will be critically assessed in relation to the particular findings of women's experience in Tashkent, and differences and similarities will be discussed. The thesis argues that religious rituals and the everyday life of Uzbek women change continuously because of the influence of social forces and institutions. The ritual and everyday life of women has adapted to historical circumstance and political systems. Women's rituals are controlled and partly constructed by the state and religious institutions for the purpose of national identity-building, ideological legitimation, and controlling women's everyday lives. In the following study, I argue that women have incorporated change and transformation into their everyday (ritual and religious) lives, thus revealing their agency and self-expression as they navigate the social and gender realities of twenty-first century Uzbekistan.

Abstract:
Cette recherche porte sur différentes organisations catholiques pour la libération sexuelle : organisations catholiques pour la diversité sexuelle, organisations catholiques pour les droits reproductifs, organisations catholiques pour l'égalité de genre et organisations catholiques pour le mariage des prêtres. Ces groupements sont constitués par des gens qui professent la foi catholique mais qui contestent la position de l’Église par rapport à l'homosexualité, l'avortement, l'ordination féminine et le célibat. La question qui se pose alors est la suivante : comment est-ce que ces groupes s'affirment catholiques et en même temps en désaccord avec l’Église ? A travers une réflexion critique, on analyse leur justification, on discute leur légitimité et on théorise à propos de leur signification et implications par rapport au catholicisme, voire le christianisme
The present research is about different catholic organizations in favor of sexual liberation: catholic organizations for sexual diversity, catholic organizations for reproductive rights, catholic organizations for gender equality and catholic organizations for married priests. Members of these groups profess Catholicism but contest Church's position concerning homosexuality, abortion, female ordination and celibacy. So the next question arises: how is it that these groups affirm themselves as Catholics and at the same time in disagreement with the Church? Through a critical thought, their justification is analyzed, their legitimacy discussed, and their significance and implications for both Catholicism and Christianism are theorized

Abstract:
In this master’s thesis, which takes the format of an introductory chapter, publishable paper, and conclusion, I examined camp programs for Indigenous youth that are run by Christian organizations in Canada, with the goals of bringing attention to this phenomenon and provoking dialogue on possibilities (or impossibilities) of reconciliation in these contexts. I employed an exploratory case study methodology, using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and internet-mediated document analysis, to address the following research questions: i) What are the key characteristics of summer camps for Indigenous youth run by Christian organizations in Canada?; ii) To what extent are Indigenous staff members or volunteers and Indigenous cultures included at summer camps for Indigenous youth that are run by Christian organizations in Canada?; and iii) What does or could reconciliation look like in the context of these camps?, and present results and conclusions based on the collected data. This work is particularly timely and significant in light of the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2015) and broader work for decolonization and improved relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Full text
Abstract:
On June 27, 1844, Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints, was assassinated. In the wake of his death, a number of would-besuccessors emerged. Each of these leaders - part of what I call the second propheticgeneration - established a unique vision of Mormonism. In 1844, Mormonism was in the middle of a major shift in its character. JosephSmith’s death left numerous theological and practical questions unresolved. This thesis argues that, rather than merely a succession struggle of competition and power, a principal function of the second prophetic generation in Mormonism was to respond to Joseph Smith’s innovations and to forge alternate coherent (re-)interpretations of the Mormon faith that could continue into the future without access to the original prophet. Two major issues that required reframing in a post-Smith world were issues ofdomesticity and marriage and hierarchical structure. One or both of these issues areconsidered in the thought of four second-generation prophets: Alpheus Cutler, William Smith, Charles Thompson, and Lyman Wight. Their response to these questions,ultimately, resulted in distinct traditions within the Mormon movement.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is a sub-analysis ofthe previously collected cross-sectional DRUGNET survey data. The sample included 1,178 current users of illicit drugs and 389 former users. This study was delimited to U.S. citizens, aged 18 years and older, who completed the DRUGNET survey (n =1,567). DRUGNET was a descriptive online survey of self - reported attitudes and behaviors among a group of adult, self - identified drug users (i.e., not drug abusers). The purpose of the sub-analysis was to explore the importance of religion, spirituality, and religious service attendance in the context of an otherwise normal healthy adult life. Moreover, it also looked into potential patterns of association between aspects of religiosity/spirituality and illicit drug use. The study explored if there was a relationship between the strength of a respondent's spiritual or religious beliefs and the patterns of their recreational drug use. A canonical correlation analysis was conducted using self-rated spirituality, self-rated religiosity, and attendance at services as variables on the left (entered in MANOVA as dependent variables) and self-reported use of six groups of drugs as variables on the right (entered in MANOV A as covariates). One significant function was found, which showed that attending religious services and importance of religion were negatively associated with the use of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and hallucinogens. That is, people who reported a higher level of religiosity and who attended religious services were less likely to use these psychoactive drugs.

Abstract:
The University College Cork (UCC) Open Arboretum Project aims to re-imagine the original purpose of the University’s tree collection – as a teaching tool. The arboretum represents a unique on-campus learning space which has been under-utilised for teaching in recent times. The arboretum has the capacity to engage students, staff and visitors in a tangible way with important global issues (e.g. the climate emergency and biodiversity loss). It is also an opportunity to combat ‘plant blindness’, i.e. the ambivalence shown to plants in our environment compared to often charismatic animal species. Wandersee and Schussler (1999) coined the term “plant blindness” to describe the preference for animals rather than plants that they saw in their own biology students. Knapp (2019) has argued that, in fact, humans are less ‘plant blind’ and more ‘everything-but-vertebrates-blind’ with school curricula and television programming over-emphasising the role of vertebrates at the expense of other groups of organisms. Botanic gardens and arboreta have long been used for educational purposes. Sellman and Bogner (2012) have shown that learning about climate change in a botanic garden led to a significant shortterm and long-term knowledge gain for high-school students compared to students who learned in a classroom setting. There is also evidence that learning outside as part of a science curriculum results in higher levels of overall motivation in the students and a greater feeling of competency (Dettweiler et al., 2017). The trees in the UCC collection, like other urban trees also provide a range of benefits outside of the educational sphere. Large, mature trees, with well-developed crowns and large leaf surface area have the capacity to store more carbon than smaller trees. They provide shade as well as food and habitats for animal species as well providing ‘symbolic, religious and historic’ value in public common spaces. Such benefits have recently been summarised by Cavender and Donnolly (2019) and aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities by Turner-Skoff and Cavender (2019). A stakeholder survey has been conducted to evaluate how the tree collection is currently used and a tour of the most significant trees in the collection has been developed. The tour encourages participants to explore the benefits of plants through many lenses including recreation, medicine and commemoration. The open arboretum project brings learning beyond the classroom and acts as an entry point for learning in a variety of disciplines, not least plant science and environmental education generally.
