In this article, Fr. Francis Pittappillil critically analyses the structure, content and theology of the Qudasha (Anaphora) of Mar Theodore. According to the East Syrian tradition, the Second Qudasha is celebrated from the first Sunday of the period of Annunciation to the Palm Sunday. Although the theological thoughts of Mar Theodore were viewed with suspicion in the past, the opinion of modern theologians is that they are orthodox in theology and doctrine. The Second Order Qudasha is notable for its Semitic character, biblical usages, and developed theological ideas. Since this Qudasha contains typical East Syrian theological and liturgical elements, we can conclude that Qudasha of Mar Theodore is an East Syrian in origin and content. The special characteristic of this Qudasha is its developed theological reflection and structural organization. The Christological, ecclesiological, pneumatological and Eucharistic ideas in the Qudasha of Mar Theodore are very faithful to the teachings of the Sacred Scripture. Fr. Francis Pittappillil affirms that the Second Qudasha, being a theologically well developed Eucharistic prayer, is very helpful for the proclamation of the faith.

Different Cell Types

Various types of intermediate-sized (10-nm) filaments have been found and described in many different cell types during the past few years. Despite the differences in the chemical composition among the different types of filaments, they all yield common structural features: they are usually up to several microns long and have a diameter of 7 to 10 nm; there is evidence that they are made of several 2 to 3.5 nm wide protofilaments which are helically wound around each other; the secondary structure of the polypeptides constituting the filaments is rich in ∞-helix. However a detailed description of their structural organization is lacking to date.

Traditional Patterns

Help towards understanding the human and religious functions of tradition comes from such sociologists as Peter Berger, Anthony Giddens, and Edward Shils. Tradition by Shils continues to illuminate how, although human beings modify inherited beliefs and change traditional patterns of behaviour, the new always incorporates something of the past. Shils takes a global view of tradition; it embodies everything individuals inherit when born into the world. It is through tradition that new members of society begin to identify themselves. The bearers of tradition may be not only official but also ‘learned’ and ‘ordinary’. Shils dedicates many further pages to changes in traditions and the forces leading to these changes. What sociologists like Giddens say about globalization also affects theological reflection on tradition. Surprisingly, the very few theologians who have published on tradition have ignored the sociologists.

The present essay aims, on the one hand, to recall the reasons of anti-naturalism, intended in a metaphysical perspective, of a large part of medieval philosophical and theological reflection and, on the other hand, to show how the same type of problems, specifically those concerning the possible mutability or immutability of the past, can be employed in favour of various conflicting positions on the matter. To demonstrate this, reference was made to some thinkers who could represent emblematic positions on the theme, in particular: Pliny the Elder for the ancient world, Augustine of Hippo, Peter Damian, Bonaventure and Thomas Aquinas for the medieval era.

Theological Message

An investigation into the theological message and preaching of Psalm 117 Psalm 117 is at the same a well-known and an unknown psalm. It is well-known as the shortest psalm in the Psalter, but there actually is remarkable little theological reflection on the psalm. To answer the question about the theological message of the psalm, it is subjected to an exegetical investigation giving attention to matters such as the extent of the psalm, text-critical questions, structural features, literary genre, “Sitz im Leben”, dating, the use of traditional material, et cetera. The exegetical details lead to a theological conclusion where it was found that the steadfast love and faithfulness of Yahweh experienced by his people in history serve as the reason why foreign nations are called upon to praise Him. The psalm probably originated in an exilic situation, reflects on the past and motivates people towards a future where Yahweh’s love and faithfulness will once again be experienced by his people.

Uma das características da ação pastoral concreta da Igreja Latino-americana, nas últimas décadas, tem sido o refluxo na relação entre fé e política. Este mesmo refluxo, no entanto, não pode ser observado na reflexão teológica do continente. No intuito de superar um hiato crescente entre o crer e o agir, este artigo analisa as relações entre fé e política na perspectiva das cosmovisões teológica e antropológica do passado para ressaltar sua alta significância para o contexto atual da Igreja. Esta se vê confrontada hoje com uma nova cosmovisão, a “ecológica”. As lições do passado, o agir histórico de Jesus e a nova cosmovisão iluminam os passos a serem dados no presente.Abstract: The concrete pastoral action of the latin-american church, in the last decades, has been characterized by a diminishing of the relationship between faith and politics. The same can not be observed, however, in the theological reflection of the continent. To overcome the growing lap between faith and action, this article analyzes the relations between faith and politics in the theological and anthropological cosmovisions of the past in order to enhance their high significance for the actual context of the church. The church, nowadays, is facing a new “ecological” cosmovision. The lessons of the past, the historical action of Jesus and this new cosmovision illuminate the steps for the present.

O tema da teologia cristã do pluralismo religioso vem sendo objeto de muitas discussões nos últimos anos, o que manifesta a riqueza de um espaço plural que é essencial para a reflexão teológica. Ocorre que a partir da segunda metade dos anos 90 alguns destes teólogos têm sido objeto de investigação crítica da Congregação para a Doutrina da Fé (CDF). É o caso de Roger Haight, cujo livro, Jesus, símbolo de Deus (1999) foi notificado pela CDF em dezembro de 2004, e qualificado como tendo “graves erros doutrinais contra a fé divina e católica da Igreja”. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os tópicos fundamentais do livro de Roger Haight e a sua hipótese de uma cristologia aberta para o pluralismo e o diálogo inter-religioso.Abstract: Religious pluralism, a theme of the Christian theology, has been the object of much discussion in the past years. This shows the existence of a significant plural space for debates that is essential for the theological reflection. However, since the second half of the 90s, some of these theologists have been subject to a critical investigation by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF). This is the case of Roger Haight, whose book, Jesus, symbol of God (1999) received the CBF’s notification in December 2004, and was said to have “serious doctrinal errors against the Church’s divine and catholic faith”. The objective of this article is to introduce the basic topics of Roger Haight’s book and his hypothesis of a Christology that is open to pluralism and to the inter-religious dialogue.

The occurrence of landslides can result in negative consequences for the ecosystems and society. On the understanding of these events, aerial photographs constitute an important collection for multitemporal investigations, making it possible to obtain the accuracy of surface coordinates, since they are georeferenced and orthorectified. The main objective of this work is to georeferentiate and orthorectify aerial photographs and to make comparisons in the calibration of geometries and positioning of old scars of landslides on slopes. The study area is a detail of 94 ha (0.94 km²) of the headwaters of the Mãe Luzia River, municipality of Treviso (SC), site with landslide records in 1978. To reach the scope, the georeferencing and feature editions were performed with geoprocessing software and orthorectification with the Digital Photogrammetric Station of the E-Foto project. The total area of scars obtained in the first polynomial order was 5 hectares, in the second order 4.98, in the third order 5.14 and, after orthorectification, 5.51 hectares. The altimetric variation produced greater distortions between sites of depressed topography, after orthorectification, there was a geometric correction of the edited polygons, notably in the bottom of the valleys. It is concluded that it is important not only to georeferentiate, but also to orthorectify old photographs, which have a great amount of valuable information of the past landscape.

Systemic Violence

The concept of sociocybernetics has been shaped over the past 40 years at the intersection between first- and second-order cybernetics, constructive epistemology and systems science. This has produced a common language to bridge these different disciplines and a common basis for research analysing complex social problems. Sociocybernetics applies second-order cybernetics concepts to the study of societies, communities and groups in which first- and second-order reflexivity may play an important part, but it is not only a theoretical perspective in the abstract; it is also an approach that is applied to the analysis of cross-disciplinary issues such as systemic violence, the role of technology in society, environmental challenges, urban planning, community development, social identity and media representation, among many others. This article provides an introduction and a general conceptual description of second-order cybernetics in the broader context of cybernetics and systems sciences. It also presents the sociocybernetics debate as it stands today, after the 20-year anniversary of the Research Committee on Sociocybernetics’ (RC51) activities within the International Sociological Association (ISA) and its contributions to understanding and acting upon an increasingly complex social world. Sociocybernetics is the science of turbulent societies that somehow continue to adapt themselves, despite the complexities they are confronted with. The articles in this monograph introduce some of the current work of the research committee and showcase the extensive potential for sociocybernetics’ interaction with other areas of sociology and contemporary debate.

This article argues and advocates strategies for the development of historical consciousness to stimulate both first- and second-order critical reflexivity in management students with the goal of creating critical management learners. The historic turn in management and organizational studies has demonstrated that history is not the same as the past. This understanding has had implications for many areas of investigation but has not been felt as significantly as it might be in management learning and education. To make our argument, we discuss how archives can be used to stimulate the process of historical consciousness in management learners and we provide an illustrative example of how this can be done, together with a checklist to aid instructors in facilitating student use of archival material.

Abstract Integrated photonics based on silicon has drawn a lot of interests, since it is able to provide compact solution for functional devices, and its fabrication process is compatible with the mature complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technology. In the meanwhile, silicon material itself has a few limitations, including an indirect bandgap of 1.1 eV, transparency wavelength of >1.1 μm, and insignificant second-order nonlinear optical property. Aluminum nitride (AlN), as a CMOS-compatible material, can overcome these limitations. It has a wide bandgap of 6.2 eV, a broad transparency window covering from ultraviolet to mid-infrared, and a significant second-order nonlinear optical effect. Furthermore, it also exhibits piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects, which enable it to be utilized for optomechanical devices and pyroelectric photodetectors, respectively. In this review, the recent research works on integrated AlN photonics in the past decade have been reviewed and summarized. The related material properties of AlN have been summarized and presented. After that, the demonstrated functional devices, including linear optical devices, optomechanical devices, emitters, photodetectors, metasurfaces, and nonlinear optical devices, are reviewed and presented. Last but not the least, the summary and future outlook for the AlN-based integrated photonics are provided.
