В статье исследуются деревянные поклонные кресты работы новгородских мастеров, которые устанавливались для поклонения и в память каких-либо значимых событий. На основании изучения истории бытования, типологии, стилистических и технико-технологических особенностей сохранившегося в Новгородском музее креста Саввы Вишерского и утраченного Чудного (Чёрного) креста выявлены разновременные части этих памятников и сделана их атрибуция. В результате исследования деревянного креста Саввы Вишерского установлено, что памятник является сложным и разновременным, в основе которого сохранилась древняя массивная часть креста, сделанная в 1417 г. при основании монастыря самим преподобным Саввой Вишерским. А рельефные изображения и надписи вырезаны в конце XV - начале XVI в. после кончины преподобного. Вероятно, разновременным памятником был также и Чудный (Чёрный) крест. Его более тонкая лицевая поверхность, вероятно, изготовлена во время «поновления» или «реставрации» в 1547 г. Она была надставлена из липовых досок, и затем на этой плоскости вырезаны рельефные изображения Распятия, предстоящих и надписи. Скорее всего, при таком «поновлении» форма и пропорции древнего особо почитаемого восьмиконечного креста не были изменены. The article explores two wooden memorial crosses, the work of Novgorod masters, which were erected for worshiping and in memory of a certain significant events. Based on the history study, typology, stylistics and technological features of the Savva Vishersky cross, which is currently preserved in the Novgorod Museum, and now lost The Wonder (or The Black) Cross a different part of these objects were studied and attribution was made. As a result of the study of the Savva Vishersky wooden cross it was established that the object is complex and multi-temporal. There is an ancient massive part in the core of the cross, which was originally made by venerable Savva Vishersky himself in 1417 at the time of the monastery foundation. Relief images and inscriptions were carved in the late 15th or early 16th centuries already after the death of the reverend. Quite possible that the Wonder (or Black) Cross was also a multi-temporal as a finer frontal surface was probably made during a renovation in 1547. The frontal surface was created with Linden wood boards and then Crucifixion images, Saints and the inscriptions were carved out. Most likely this renovation did not influence the form and proportions of the ancient and highly revered eight-pointed cross.

Changing World

Rapid advancements in radical life extension technologies contribute to humanity’s ever-changing world. The normalization of radical life extension technologies would signify that the present era in which biology and evolution act as dictators of human life and health would come to an end, thereby ushering in the age of the post-human. The purpose of this paper is to engage in a theological analysis of how and to what degree the ways in which humanity speaks about God could be changed or influenced if radical life extension becomes normative within society. . It is likely that this powerful technology would have a significant impact on many facets of culture, including the way in which humanity engages with religion, in particular Christianity. To accomplish this, the technology that could potentially support radical life extension, namely nanotechnology and cybernetic immortality, will be explained in terms of their relevance and function. Subsequently, the affects of radical life extension for human life will be addressed. Specifically, the implications of the partial or full eradication of human biological and psychological suffering and death through the use of cybernetic immortality and nanotechnology and will be considered. From there, the core theological concepts and narratives will be analyzed in the context of the potential actualization of radical life extension technology. A focus will be placed on the ethic of loving thy neighbour, Christ’s suffering on the cross, the hope of salvation and the Christian hope of entrance into heaven after death.

Peristiwa makan adalah moment berharga bagi manusia. Makan bukan hanya peristiwa memasukkan makanan ke dalam mulut namun lebih dari itu peristiwa makan memiliki makna yang mendalam antara lain sebagai interaksi sosial dan identitas kultural. Makan adalah kegiatan sehari-hari yang selalu dilakukan manusia. Untuk bertahan hidup manusia harus makan. Seiring berjalannya waktu peristiwa makan bukan sekadar untuk mengenyangkan perut tapi juga suatu simbol untuk merayakan peristiwa penting. Bahkan dalam Kitab Suci banyak peristiwa iman yang ditandai dengan peristiwa makan. Peristiwa makan ini dimaknai sebagai moment perjumpaan kehidupan. Dalam tradisi Kristiani kita juga menemukan tradisi perjamuan ilahi yakni Ekaristi. Inti dari perayaan Ekaristi adalah ‘makan’ Tubuh dan Darah Kristus yakni yang disebut dengan Hosti dan Anggur. Segala bentuk aktivitas makan dalam kehidupan manusia dapat berdaya guna dan dapat membantu manusia memakani hidupnya dengan lebih mendalam. Untuk itu buah pemikiran dari teologi makan sangat dibutuhkan agar proses pencarian makna terdalam dari peristiwa makan pada kultur masa kini dan Ekaristi dapat ditemukan.   The occasion of eating is considered a precious moment for all people. Eating is not just a regime of putting food into the mouth, but rather than that, it is of deeper significance. Eating has means of social interaction and also of cultural identity. It is a day to day regular everyone committed to. In order to survive, humans are obliged to eat. As history went by, eating is not just an act of satiating the gut, but also marking significant events. In the Bible, numerous events of faith are celebrated through eating. To eat is to attend a life encounter. In Christian traditions, we understand that the Eucharist is a divine form of eating. The core of the Eucharist is to 'eat' the Corpus and Blood of Christ which is present in the Host and Wine. Any kinds of eating there is, shall give empowerment to help humans understand their lives more deeply. Thus, the fruit of the idea of the theology of eating is required to seek deepest eloquence from the occasion of eating in present culture and the Eucharist, shall be found.

Scholarly Attention

While the term theologia crucis itself is most prominent in Luther’s early works, the later texts bear up the scholarly contention that the fundamental contrast between “cross” and “glory,” with its various methodological and theological implications, remains and is in fact amplified throughout Luther’s later writings. Indeed, considered topically, Luther’s treatment of virtually every significant theological locus throughout his canon—e.g., revelation, ecclesiology, and ethics is impacted by his understanding of the cross. “Theology of the cross” in Luther does not refer to a bound set of theological statements but rather a methodological stance in which epistemological fidelity to the modes in which God chooses to reveal himself—in suffering, death, and contradiction to expectation—marks the whole of the theologian’s orientation to knowledge of God and the world. While the theology of the cross in Luther’s deployment certainly touches on sociopolitical and ecclesial realities within his time, it is crucial for readers of Luther to understand that for him the motif was bound up within the total “thickness” of Christian life—the sacraments, prayer, discipleship, etc. In contrast to the temptation to treat the notion as a critical principle that can be detached from this total picture of Christian existence, scholarly attention to Luther must take seriously the ecclesiastically embedded character of theologia crucis—with all of the interweaving strands of inquiry that such embeddedness necessitates—in order to get the full picture of how Luther understood the cross’s impact on theology and the Christian life. The cross is also crucial theologically for Luther because it gets at the core of what he sees the theological project being able to do—deal with God in God’s self-revelation, under the confusing and sometimes seemingly paradoxical terms by which God chooses to engage humanity. Theologia crucis thus stands as the theological putting to death of the Old Adam—who is aligned, for Luther, with theologies of glory—so as to allow the theologian to hear and proclaim the gospel apart from pretension or undue speculation.

Although international branch campuses have become an established part of the cross-border higher education landscape, there is still debate about what an international branch campus actually is. The purpose of this article is to propose a revised definition of “international branch campus” that is clearer and more implementable than existing definitions. To achieve this goal, we considered how the terms “branch” and “campus” are used in business and higher education, and then identified the core features of these campuses.

This is the fifth volume in a renowned series edited by Dan Slobin, focusing on cross-linguistic studies of children acquiring their first language. The series is seminal for its focus on languages other than English and for addressing the astonishing diversity and complexity of the language acquisition task. Slobin notes that, in contrast to Chomskyan models that consider core grammar to be the main topic of interest, the series was conceived with the notion of showing “how much fruit there is beyond the core” (p. 14). The goal of Volume 5 is to explore themes that were relatively backgrounded in the others. Specifically, these themes include: typological analysis, semantic systems, phonology and prosody, individual differences, and diachronic processes.

This article asserts that the core of ministry is the ability to contemplate and articulate the “where” of God (to be able to express where we concretely encounter God). It argues that too often we have simply asserted that God is everywhere leading us to over-state the revealed, nearness, and rationality of God’s nature, keeping us from having anything specific or rich to say about God’s very activity. We have often fallen into this trap of abstractions because we have not seen the adolescent’s very ontological state as existing between possibility and nothingness, instead viewing adolescence fundamentally and finally as a developmental period of growth, advancement, and preparation. Therefore, this paper will turn to the theologia crucis as a way of conceptualizing “where” God can be found, and how this very conceptualization attends to the adolescent’s ontological state between possibility and nothingness. The paper will conclude by providing some thoughts on how this impacts the practice of the youth worker.

<p>The characterization of the basement architecture of the Pyrenean Axial Zone, backbone of the chain, is crucial to understand its geodynamic evolution and the interplay between tectonism and magmatism. In this work, a new gravity-constrained cross section was built along the Central Pyrenees, between two of the largest Pyrenean Late Variscan granitic complexes, La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites, to infer the geometry at depth of the basement host rocks. This cross section is ca. 65 km long and extends from the Mesozoic Bóixols basin in the South to the Late Variscan Bassiès granite to the North, close to the northern end of the Axial Zone. It is based on available geological maps, previous published works and new geological field data; together with newly acquired gravimetric stations (1141), to improve the existent spatial resolution of the gravity data from the databases of the Spanish and Catalan Geological Surveys, and density values from 65 rock samples covering all different lithologies in the cross section. Thus, its geometry at depth is constrained by means of an integrated 2.5D gravity/structural/petrophysical modelling.</p><p>The La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites appear aligned in a WNW-ESE direction and both lie within the same Alpine basement unit, the Orri thrust sheet. They are separated about 40 km by the WNW-ESE-oriented Llavorsí syncline, formed by Devonian and Silurian rocks and limited to the north and south by south vergent thrusts. This syncline is located between two large Cambro-Ordovician anticlinorium structures, the La Pallaresa and Orri massifs to the north and south respectively, formed by a monotonous alternation of shales and sandstones with some intercalations of limestones and conglomerates affected by very low to medium grade of metamorphism. Most structures show southern vergence along the cross section, and its southern part is characterized by the occurrence of Triassic evaporites, a significant detachment level decoupling deformation between the Paleozoic basement and the Mesozoic-Cenozoic cover rocks.</p><p>The observed residual anomaly along the cross section shows a relative maximum, coinciding with the southern edge of the Axial Zone (Nogueras Zone) and southern half of the Orri massif, followed to the north by a relative large minimum. This gravity minimum in the core of the Axial Zone coincides with the northern half of the Orri massif, the Llavorsí syncline and southern half of the La Pallaresa massif and must be related at depth with rocks of lower density with respect to rocks located to the North and South. Two possible solutions have been postulated to explain the presence of lower density rocks: (i) the presence of Triassic evaporites at depth as a continuation to the North of the Triassic evaporites outcropping in the Rialp window located to the South and/or (ii) the presence of buried granitic bodies equivalent to the adjacent La Maladeta and Andorra-Mont Louis granites.</p>

The arrangement of rays within the phloem and rhytidome was studied in <em>Aesculus</em> stems. It was found that on the cross section most rays in the stem deviate in Z-direction, that is to the right from the geometric radius. The mechanism of Z-arrangement of the rays may be as follows: owing to the action of wind on the crown torques arise causing the torsion of the wood core. The dissymmetry of the mechanical properties of the Aesculus wood core leads to accumulation of residual Z-torsion, and as consequence of this wood core torsion to the right occurs when seen from above. In the course of this torsion the soft phloem layers lying between the column and the rigid shield of the outer tissues (rhytidome and outher sclerified phloem layers) are drawn by the core and this results in their deviation to the right in respect to the geometrical radius.

The Relationship

In this paper, the magnetic flux density distribution on the cross-sections of a transformer core is studied. The core for this study consists of two identical U-shaped cores joint at their open surfaces with known air gaps. The magnetic flux density at one of their joint boundary surfaces was measured for different air gaps. A finite element model (FEM) was built to simulate the magnetic flux density and compared with experiment data. Using the validated FEM, the distributed magnetic flux density on the cross-section of the core structure can be obtained when the air gap approaches zero. An engineering model of the density based on the Ampere’s circuit law was also developed and used to explain the relationship between air gap and mean magnetic flux density on the cross-section. The magnetic flux density on the cross-section was found to have a convex-shaped distribution and could be described by an empirical formula. Using this approach, the magnetic flux density distribution in cores with different interlayer insulation was obtained and discussed. This method could also examine the leakage of magnetic flux density in the air gap region when the distance is non-zero, and the relationship between the leakage field and the field in the core structure. The proposed method and model can provide a more detailed understanding for the magnetic field of transformer cores and potential application in designing quiet transformers and condition monitoring.
