Abstract The Kitāb al-ʿIlm of al-Bukhārī (d. 256/870), positioned at the beginning of his Ṣaḥīḥ, represents an innovative turn in terms of structural arrangement and thematic discourse within the context of “books” and narratives on knowledge (ʿilm). Al-Bukhārī’s construction of ʿilm differs from preceding discussions and reveals a unique portrayal. I suggest that the early interdependence between ʿilm-ḥadīth and adab conveyed by al-Bukhārī echoes the Kitab al-Adab written by his teacher, Ibn Abī Shayba (d. 235/849). In light of understanding this intertextual dynamic, I will compare earlier ʿilm narratives with particular themes introduced by al-Bukhārī. Similarly, I will discuss how the early correlation between knowledge and education helped motivate his authorial intent, concluding that the Kitāb al-ʿIlm represents an original, technical and pedagogical work of taḥammul al-ʿilm, the actual practice of teaching knowledge.

Translation can be regarded as one of language skills that requires teachers and students to use the knowledge related to various aspects simultaneously, especially vocabulary and grammar aspects as well as intercultural knowledge in an effort to discover the equivalents between the target and the source language. Based on an overview of some translation theories and translation teaching methodologies, coupled with the actual practice of teaching traslation for Chinese students at some Vietnam’s universitites, the article uses such methods as analysis, comparison and contrast to disscuss the methods for addressing the problems concerning words and sentences in translation, thus putting forward some proposals so as to improve teaching Chinese - Vietnamese translation for Chinese students in Vietnam.

Is the Christian teaching on sin a ‘stumbling block’ to Chinese accepting Christianity? This paper critiques the notion that Chinese have difficulty comprehending ‘sin’ because of the culture's long-standing belief in the humanistic potential for self-perfection without any reference to the divine. This view of Chinese culture has been too narrow and does not account for the fact that Chinese religious traditions have always had at their disposal a wide variety of resources to comprehend the Christian concept of sin. Incorporating a history-of-practice perspective can contribute to a more productive balance between the representation of Chinese culture and its actual practice and avoid the current tendency to posit Western theology against a narrowly constructed and idealised version of Chinese culture that is severed from both historical and present-day realities.

Humanist Tradition

Traditionally, art historians have relied on iconography, biography, and connoisseurship as the fundamental means of studying images. These approaches and methods stress the singularity of an image, its authenticity, and its authorship; therefore, they reflect an enduring debt to the humanist tradition of individualism. The image is understood principally as the product of the unique and privileged inspiration of an individual artist and is regarded as a measure of this individual's genius. Iconographical and biographical research secure authorial intent; connoisseurship authenticates the work. While this scholarly apparatus certainly offers the art historian indispensable tools, it is important to understand that its commitment to original intent is singularly ill-equipped to assess the reception of images, the ongoing history of response that keeps images alive within a culture from generation to generation.

General Decline

Following the continuing general decline of institutional religion across the Western world, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the emergence of various types of, less conventionally organized, post-institutional forms of religion. Post-institutional religious spaces have, however, often proven difficult to pin down and grasp empirically through already available frameworks and concepts. This article aims to provide an impetus for further methodological discussion on the empirical study of post-institutional religious spaces through re-contextualizing the framework of scene for the study of post-institutional religious spaces in actual practice. The article outlines and explicates the methodological utility of the framework of scene through applying it on a particular geographically located post-institutional religious space: the present-day so-called “fringe-knowledge” scene in Finland.

Complex Indicators

Structural degradation of the material upon long-term thermal and force impacts is a complex process which includes migration of the grain boundaries, diffusion of the active elements of the external and technological environment, hydrogen embrittlement, aging, grain boundary corrosion and other mechanisms. Application of the fractal and multifractal formalism to the description of microstructures opens up wide opportunities for quantitative assessment of the structural arrangement of the material, clarifies and reveals new aspects of the known mechanisms of structural transformations. Multifractal parameterization allows us to study the processes of structural degradation from the images of microstructures and identify structural changes that are hardly distinguishable visually. Any quantitative structural indicator can be used to calculate the multifractal spectra of the microstructure, but the most preferable is that provides the maximum range of variation in the numerical values of the multifractal components. The results of studying structural degradation of steel 15Kh5M upon continuous duty are presented. It is shown that structural degradation of steel during operation under high temperatures and stresses is accompanied by enlargement of the microstructural objects, broadening of the grain boundaries and allocation of the dispersed particles which are represented as point objects in the images. The processes of structural degradation lead to an increase in the range of changes in the components of the multifractal spectra. High values of complex indicators of structural arrangement indicate to an increase in heterogeneity and randomness at the micro-scale level, but at the same time, to manifestation of the ordered combinations of individual submicrostructures. Those structural transformations adapt the material to external impacts and provide the highest reliability and fracture resistance of the material.

Legal Fiction: Levirate cum Land Redemption in Ruth

The article focuses on the use of the levirate and the land redemption in Ruth. It argues that Ruth, drawing on Torah texts, has fictionalized these laws. Ruth’s portrayal of these laws does not depict actual practice in the postexilic era, nor was it intended as a midrash per se on Torah laws. The book of Ruth, a story of return from exile, joined together the levirate and land redemption because these laws address the continuity of family and of inherited property. The story of the Judean family who long ago underwent “exile” and almost lost its family line and its ancestral land, but whose continuity was restored by means of Torah laws, is a metaphor for the exilic or postexilic community, which is being encouraged to see in the Torah the vehicle for its own continuity of people and land. The article also examines possible inner biblical interpretations of the go’el law in Ruth and in Jeremiah 32.
