Dados recentes alertam-nos para uma situação paradoxal de verdadeiro “apartheid” socioambiental. Daí a necessidade de se analisar a complexidade das mútuas relações entre gemidos da criação e grito do pobre. Intenção nossa, aqui, é fazê-lo a partir da eleição de uma grelha de leitura: do mito à metáfora. Trata-se, na verdade, de articular a advertência de M. Augé de que «devemos escapar do pesadelo mítico» e a afirmação de Paul Ricoeur de que a metáfora encarna uma quebra de paradigma. Num primeiro momento, submeteremos os relatos bíblicos da criação a esta grelha de leitura. Consideradas sob essa ótica, as narrações bíblicas constituem fruto de um processo de “desmitologização” e, portanto, também de “desmistificação” dos mitos das origens das civilizações do Antigo Oriente. Num segundo momento, essa mesma grelha de leitura será aplicada ao “nosso tempo”. Também hoje individuamos verdadeiras mistificações da realidade em detrimento dos interesses e da vida de nossas maiorias pobres. Buscaremos também aqui instaurar o árduo processo de “desmistificação” destes mitos contemporâneos. Finalmente, num terceiro momento, esboçaremos, a partir de nossa genuína tradição de fé, uma teologia da criação que corresponda responsavelmente à gravidade da presente situação de “apartheid” socioambiental.Palavras-chave: Apartheid socioambiental.

Teologia da criação.Abstract: Recent data have alerted us to a paradoxical situation of real socio- -environmental “apartheid”, making it necessary to analyse the complexity of the relationships between the groaning of creation and the cry of the poor. Our intention, here, is to do so using the following reading grid: from myth to metaphor. We will discuss M. Augé’s warning “we must escape the mythical nightmare”, with Paul Ricoeur’s statement that the metaphor embodies a paradigm break. We will first submit the biblical accounts of creation to this grid. Considered from this perspective, biblical narratives derive from a “demythologization” process, a “demystification” of the origin-myths of Ancient Middle Eastern civilizations. This reading grid will then be applied to “our times”. Today, we also share true mystifications of reality at the expense of the interests and life of the poor who make up the majority of the population. We will seek to set up the difficult “demystification” process of contemporary myths. Finally, in the third stage and from the genuine tradition of our faith, we will outline a responsible theology of creation that matches the gravity of the present situation of socio-environmental “apartheid”.Keywords: socio-environmental apartheid; the groaning of creation; the cry of the poor; myth; metaphor; theology of creation.

During Age of Enlightenment, the so-called “pedagogical age” significant activity was demonstrated by philanthropists, who recognizing the necessity to teach every social class, including young people from poor families, set up schools for lower social classes, wanted to create a family atmosphere in teaching and education, combining these processes with productive work. The article analyzes the philanthropic activity of Count Stanisław Skarbek (1780–1848), one of the largest magnates in Galicia, who undertook the implementation of a huge philanthropic project, which was the creation of a theater in Lviv and the establishment of a facility for the poor and orphans in Drogoviž. Unfortunately, Skarbek failed to completely implement his project, because modern people considered this undertaking a myth, a utopia. Nevertheless, the theater in Lviv was built in five years and it was thanks to the active activity of the originator. The theater was put into use in 1842. Six years later, in 1848, Stanisław Skarbek died without having completed the plans for setting up a charity, despite the fact that he made every effort to do so. With time, Skarbek donated all his assets to the institution along with the theater and the enterprises that were in it. Thanks to the efforts of Skarbek, the official opening of the plant for the poor and orphans in Drogoviž took place in August 1875.

1. In Sciara larvae exposed to total anoxia before moulting, all visible movement and all visible change in the content of the tracheal system cease. Moulting and tracheal gas-filling can be postponed at least 1½ hr. beyond normal time. 2. In most third-stage larvae exposed to 0.3-0.75% O2 before the third moult, the future fourth-stage tracheal system, which is present fully-formed in the body, fills with gas .This shows that although moulting invariably precedes gas-filling under normal circumstances it need not do so. 3. In premoult larvae which have filled their trachea with gas upon exposure to 0.3-0.75% O2, the tracheae fill again with liquid when the larvae are put back into atmospheric air. This reversal of gas-filling can be alternated with gas-filling several times in the same individual. 4. The fact that in reversal of gas-filling an increase in pO2 promotes liquid-filling, whereas in moulted larvae it not only never leads to liquid-filling but actually accelerates gas-filling, indicates that some basic, but at least temporarily reversible physiological or chemical change occurs in the tracheae or in the metabolism of the peritracheal tissue, near the time of moulting. A partial explanation of the observed phenomena can be made in terms of a combination of active uptake and physical uptake of tracheal liquid. Evidence for the existence of both types of mechanism, separately, has been adduced by Wigglesworth in other material.

The Coherence of Mary Barton: Romance, Realism, and Utopia

Mode Of Production

Critics have argued that Elizabeth Gaskell's first novel, Mary Barton (1848), is split by a conflict between the modes of realism and romance. But the conflict does not render the novel incoherent, because Gaskell surpasses both modes through a utopian narrative that breaks with the conflict of form and gives coherence to the whole novel. Gaskell not only depicts what Thomas Carlyle called the ‘Condition of England’ in her work but also develops, through three stages, the utopia that will redeem this condition. The first stage is romantic nostalgia, a backward glance at Eden from the countryside surrounding Manchester. The second stage occurs in Manchester, as Gaskell mixes romance with a realistic mode, tracing a utopian drive toward death. The third stage is the utopian break with romantic and realistic accounts of the Condition of England and with the inadequate preceding conceptions of utopia. This third stage transforms narrative modes and figures a new mode of production.

Multivariate Discriminant

The aim of the research project solved at the University of Finance and administration is to construct a new bankruptcy model. The intention is to use data of the firms that have to cease their activities due to bankruptcy. The most common method for bankruptcy model construction is multivariate discriminant analyses (MDA). It allows to derive the indicators most sensitive to the future companies’ failure as a parts of the bankruptcy model. One of the assumptions for using the MDA method and reassuring the reliable results is the normal distribution and independence of the input data. The results of verification of this assumption as the third stage of the project are presented in this article. We have revealed that this assumption is met only in a few selected indicators. Better results were achieved in the indicators in the set of prosperous companies and one year prior the failure. The selected indicators intended for the bankruptcy model construction thus cannot be considered as suitable for using the MDA method.

A New Ancient Middle Eastern Chronological Model

Primary Focus

In this paper, I argue for a new ancient Middle Eastern chronology in which the Mesopotamian “high” chronology is used in correlation with K. A. Kitchen’s “low” chronology for the Egyptian Twelfth Dynasty. Although my primary focus is on the Akkadian empire and the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties in Egypt, I also show that this chronological reconciliation obtains widespread consistency with data over the total period of Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilisation throughout the third and second millennia B.C. I also discuss the Hebrew chronology in the framework of this new ME chronology.

The Voice

The first stage of this project aims to identify assessment measures which include items on voice-hearing by way of a systematic review. The second stage is the development of a brief framework of categories of positive experiences of voice hearing, using a triangulated approach, drawing on views from both professionals and people with lived experience. The third stage will involve using the framework to identify any positve aspects of voice-hearing included in the voice hearing assessments identified in stage 1.

The Dead

This article is a inquiry about how Barrès (1862-1923) handles the religious rite of pilgrimage. Barrès stages in his writings three successive forms of pilgrimage, revealing what is sacred to him at different times. The pilgrimage to a museum or to the birthplace of an artist is typical for the egotism and the humanism of the young Barrès, expressed in the Cult of the Self (1888-1891). After his conversion to nationalism, Barrès tries to unite the sons of France and to instill in them a solemn reverence for “the earth and the dead” ; for that purpose he encourages in French Amities (1903) pilgrimages to historical places of national importance (battlefields; birthplace of Joan of Arc), building what Nora later called the Realms of Memory. The third stage of Barrès’ intellectual evolution is exemplified by The Sacred Hill (1913). In this book the writer celebrates the places where “the Spirit blows”, and proves open to a large scale of spiritual forces, reaching back to paganism and forward to integrative syncretism, which aims at unifying “the entire realm of the sacred”.
