Permissive Sexual Attitudes

The study aimed to examine Emotional Exhaustion (EE) of the minister as predictor of the Christian clergy sexual attitudes in an era of “#ChurchToo” crusade and sexual crisis facing the church globally yet, there are not sufficient empirical data on the Christian clergy regarding dynamics that are responsible for permissive sexual attitudes and behaviours.  Five hundred and sixty-two (562) Christian clergy (410 male, 152 female), mean age 34.7± 0.1 were purposively selected from Protestant, Pentecostal and White garment churches in south-western Nigeria who responded to Emotional Exhaustion in Ministry (SEEM) and Brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analyses.  The observed prevalence of high burnout was 14.0%.  Emotional exhaustion in ministry significantly predicted Birth control (sexual responsibility) Birth control (sexual responsibility) (Sexual responsibility) attitude, communion attitude, instrumentality attitude and permissiveness attitude. There were statistically significant sex differences in the mean (± SD) scores of Birth control (sexual responsibility) attitude, Communion attitude and permissiveness attitude.  Male and female clergy had similar mean (± SD) score on instrumentality.  Findings demonstrate that emotional exhaustion in ministry is strongly linked with several dimensions of sexual attitudes in unique ways, and that gender deference in sexual attitude exists among the clerics.

Premarital Sexuality

This study was designed to assess students' sexual attitudes and self-consciousness. This descriptive study was conducted by reaching 330 students who agreed to participate in the research and being educated at the midwifery department of Health Sciences Faculty of  Selçuk University between May 1 and June 15, 2017. "Personal Information Form", "Hendrick Sexual Attitude Scale" (HSAS) and Sexual Self Consciousness Scale (SSCS) were used as data collection in the research. Consent was taken from the institution to conduct the research. The average age of the students participating in the study is 20.93±1.78, 97.3% is single, 60% is living in the dormitory and 30.6% is living with the family. 79.7% of the student’s level of monthly income was moderate and 84.5% is above the general grade average. Of those who reported that premarital sexuality was unacceptable (89.1%), 62.7% were considered it sinful and 13% were considered to be second-hand by their boyfriend. 94.5% of the students had no sexual experience. 3.6% of students with sexual experience (5.5%) were used condom. It was determined that 73.3% of the students got information about sex, and the information source was lectures (58.2%).  The mean approving subscale score of the students was 42.32±7.05, the birth control subscale score was 12.8±3.92, the sharing subscale score was 14.92±4.48 and the instrumentality subscale score was 15.69±4.16. The mean SSCS score of the students was 29.98±7.76, and the mean score of sexual shyness subscale was 14.54±5.05 and the score of sexual self-conscious subscale was 15.43±4.13. There was a statistically significant difference in the admissibility of premarital sexuality and in the confirmatory subscale of HSAS, the sexual shyness subscale of SSCS (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the students who take information about sexuality and SSCS and subscales (p<0.05) in all subscales other than the birth control subscale of HSAS and SSCS and subscales. As a result, there was a difference in sexual attitudes and sexual self-consciousness among the midwifery students who did not accept premarital sex. It seems that there is a need for more comprehensive and in-depth analysis of pre-marital sexuality views of university students and more extensive work to bring out regional differences. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetBu çalışma öğrencilerin cinsel tutum ve öz-bilinç durumlarının değerlendirilmesi için planlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma,  1 Mayıs- 15 Haziran 2017 tarihleri arasında Selçuk Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi ebelik bölümünde öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 330 öğrenciye ulaşılarak yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “Hendrick Cinsel Tutum Ölçeği” (HCTÖ) ve Cinsel Öz Bilinç Ölçeği (CÖBÖ) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın yapılabilmesi için kurumdan izin almıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.93±1.78, %97.3’ü bekar olup, %60’ı yurtta %30.6’sı ailesi ile birlikte yaşamaktadır. Öğrencilerin %79.7’sinin aylık geliri orta seviyede olup, %84.5’inin genel not ortalaması ikinin üzerindedir. Evlilik öncesi cinselliğin kabul edilebilir olmadığını bildirenlerin (%89.1), %62.7’si günah olduğu, %13’ü ise sevgili tarafından kullanılmış olma hissi verdiği için kabul edilebilir bulmamıştır. Öğrencilerin %94.5’sinin cinsel deneyimi olmamıştır. Cinsel deneyimi olan (%5.5) öğrencilerin %3.6’sı kondom ile korunmuştur. Öğrencilerin %73.3’ünün cinsellikle ilgili bilgi aldığı, bilgi kaynağının dersler (%58.2) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin HCTÖ onaylayıcılık alt boyut puan ortalaması 42.32±7.05, doğum kontrolü alt boyut puan ortalaması 12.83±3.92, paylaşım alt boyut puanı ortalaması 14.92±4.48 ve araç olarak değerlendirme alt boyut puanı ortalaması 15.69±4.16 olarak bulundu. Öğrencilerin CÖBÖ toplam puan ortalaması 29.98±7.76 olup cinsel utangaçlık alt boyut puanı ortalaması 14.54±5.05, cinsel öz-bilinçlilik alt boyut puanı ortalaması 15.43±4.13 olarak hesaplandı. Evlilik öncesi cinselliğin kabul edilebilirliği ile HCTÖ’nin onaylayıcılık alt boyutunda, CÖBÖ'nün cinsel utangaçlık alt boyutunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0.05). Öğrencilerin cinsellik hakkında bilgi alma durumu ile HCTÖ’nin doğum kontrolü alt boyutu dışında diğer tüm alt boyutlarında, CÖBÖ ve alt boyutları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak, ebelik öğrencilerinden evlilik öncesi cinselliği kabul edilebilir bulmayanların cinsel tutum ve cinsel öz bilinç durumlarında fark bulunmuştur. Üniversite öğrencilerinin evlilik öncesi cinselliğe bakış açılarını daha ayrıntılı ve derinlemesine belirleyecek ve bölgesel farklılıkları ortaya çıkaracak daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu görülmektedir.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship between the time perspective of Spanish shipyard workers in relation to burnout compared to other blue-collar workers in other sectors, including a total of 644 participants in a shipyard in northern Spain and 223 workers in other sectors. The ages were between 20 and 69 (M = 46.14, SD = 10.98). We used the Spanish version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Instrument (ZTPI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey (MBI-GS). The mean of the three reliability coefficients of the emotional exhaustion factor was 0.887. In respect to the five factors of the ZTPI questionnaire, the mean of those five coefficients was 0.86. A Student’s t-test for independent samples comparing shipyard naval workers vs. the control group in personality variables and burnout was used. The psychological difference between workers in the naval sector and those in other sectors is better predicted based on two variables: emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy. Workers in the naval sector have a higher risk of becoming burnt-out than workers in other sectors due to a negative past, present and future time perspective. This can be a consequence of constant understimulation and monotonous and repetitive work, as well as a lack of autonomy and social support at work.

SummaryIn a survey of 1475 urban Moslem wives in the age group 15–49 living in the capital city of the Sudan, knowledge of birth control was reported by almost all respondents while a significant proportion had used contraception at least once. The mean age of the users was 32·8 years, their duration of marriage was 15·1 years and their mean number of surviving children was 4·6. Those who had never used contraception had a higher mean age, a longer duration of marriage and more surviving children. Most of the users had an urban residential background and belonged to the high socioeconomic class. They held favourable attitudes to family planning. Although they thought that having a large family (more than five children) was not desirable, their mean preferred family size was no different from that of the never users.The results indicate that contraception is used for the purpose of spacing births rather than limiting their ultimate number. At this early stage of contraceptive adoption in Sudan, the characteristics of the pioneer acceptors are similar to those observed in other African countries.

&lt;p&gt;Granite is the most important building stone in the north of Portugal. The importance of the stones in this region is evidenced by the pre-Roman roots Mor (r), Mur (r) and Mour of place names such as Montemuro, Moreiras, Mou&amp;#231;&amp;#243;s, and Mourelhe. These roots indicate the existence of building stones used since ancient times in these places.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The quarries of the main building stones of historical buildings were generally in the vicinity of the buildings. Formerly, stonemasons carved mason's marks on ashlars. The mason's marks are lapidary signs to indicate the work carried out by each one. The mason's marks are generally symbolised by the initial of the stonemason's name. They are often found on dressed stones in buildings and in other public structures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe church of Mou&amp;#231;&amp;#243;s (possibly 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century) has typical characteristics from the late Romanesque. It is located in Vila Real (North of Portugal). It is made up of three volumes: a single nave, a lower rectangular apse, and a sacristy attached to the apse. The exterior of this church is preserved almost unaltered in its original state. Each of the granite ashlars that make up this church has a mason's mark in the center of its face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mason's marks of the church have been identified; all the ashlars with visible mason's marks have been mapped, and a glyptographic study has been carried out. This has made it possible to calculate the number of stonemasons that worked in the construction of the church and the number of ashlars that were transported in each carriage, and to determine the construction phases of the church.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eight cubic samples have been cut to calculate the granite&amp;#8217;s hydric properties (effective porosity, water absorption and bulk density) according to UNE-EN:1936. Ultrasound wave velocity was measured according to UNE-EN:14579. Furthermore, three thin sections have been made to characterise the granite petrographically under a polarisation microscope Leica DM-4500-P. A mosaic of photomicrographs has been made to evaluate the petrographic properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are six main types of mason's marks in Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe Church. All quarrymen extracted the stones from the same quarry, or from nearby quarries. The mean effective porosity of the building granite is 3.2%&amp;#177;0.3, and the mean water absorption is 1.2%&amp;#177;0.1. Its mean bulk density is 2566 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;#177;61.0 and its ultrasound P wave velocity is 2920 m/s&amp;#177;98.3.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mason's marks are preserved because of the excellent petrographic and petrophysical properties of Mou&amp;#231;&amp;#243;s granite. Further, Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe church was protected with lime plaster during the past centuries, and the plaster was not removed with the projection of abrasive particles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The use of analytical techniques such as petrography, ultrasonic P wave velocity and the determination of hydric properties will guarantee the quality and durability of a sustainable restoration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The historical quarries, forms of traditional stone extraction and uses of Mou&amp;#231;&amp;#243;s granite constitute a heritage that must be safeguarded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Acknowledgements: The Funda&amp;#231;&amp;#227;o para a Ci&amp;#234;ncia e a Tecnologia (FCT) of Portugal.

"Why worry about too many people on earth when we have the whole universe to expand into? Europe solved its population problems earlier by shipping the excess off to the New World: why can't we continue this process? Already our space programs have pointed the way." This possibility is constantly raised in public meetings and should be taken seriously. So long as there is a glimmer of hope in sidestepping the problem of overpopulation by escaping to the stars, many people will refuse to grapple with the problem of adjusting to earthly limits. In the 1950s a Monsignor Irving A. DeBlanc deplored "an often expressed idea that birth control is the only answer to problems created by a fast-growing world population." Instead of trying to curb population growth, said DeBlanc, we should welcome it and make plans to ship off the excess. Thus we could continue humanity's millennia-old tradition of moving to a new home after making a mess of our old one. We can grant that DeBlanc's intentions were good. They fitted in with his value system: he was the director of the National Catholic Welfare Conference's Family Life Bureau, an organization committed to encouraging large families. Their publicity was addressed principally to Roman Catholics. Some Catholics endorse space migration because the church hierarchy opposes artificial methods of birth control. But we must not forget that science itself has become something of a religion to millions of people. The marvels of technology have brought many people to an uncritical worship of a god called "Progress," which is sometimes equated with perpetual growth. If this means that the control of population growth is immoral there remains only migration to the stars to correct for overpopulation on earth. Thus can theistic and atheistic religions meet at the crossroads of conception. In 1958, four years after the founding of NASA—the National Aeronautics and Space Administration—its congressional guardian, the Science and Astronautics Committee, supported the idea of space migration as an ultimate solution to the problem of a "bursting population." The hired technical staff of NASA no doubt thought poorly of proposals like DeBlanc's; but when an agency is fighting for the space that counts—space at the public trough—its administrators are in no hurry to correct statements that increase the size of their budget.

This chapter assesses the issuance of the encyclical Humanæ vitæ in July of 1968, which imposed on Catholics a stringent code of sexual morality in line with Pius XI's 1930 encyclical Casti connubii, or ‘chastity in marriage’. In particular, Humanæ vitæ rejected all forms of artificial contraception. Many Christians were expecting the Church to adapt to the tide of sexual liberation, but instead, just when birth control pills appeared on the European market, hence proposing an alternative to abortion, the pope issued an encyclical taking a stance against the changing mores. Sexual morality came to be the newest battlefront between religion and Europe's dominant culture, and became central to the way of life promoted by the Church. What once bridged the gap between believers and nonbelievers, namely a shared base of secularized Christian values, had faded or disappeared. This raises some serious questions: If the Church no longer recognizes the dominant culture in Europe today as Christian, who would take the liberty of claiming that Europe's identity is Christian? And how could this Christian identity be reclaimed without a battle for Europe's morals, which would be directed less against Islam than against European society itself? Not only does this change the position of the Catholic Church but it also alters the very meaning of what it is to be a believer in Europe.

Abstract In Adventists (n = 603) 45% were less effective and 55% more effective in coping with phases of spiritual dryness, particularly those with leading roles in the church. Strategies such as devotion/trust in God, private prayer/meditation/scripture reading, openness, talks with close others, and self-care were most often utilized. Their ability to cope was predicted best by low Acedia, Living from the Faith, low emotional exhaustion, well-being and having a duty in the church (R2 = .24). When these phases were overcome, several perceived spiritual depth and were able to help others all the more. Helpful strategies should be made available to support persons struggling with spiritual dryness.

AbstractThis essay examines pressures and theological developments regarding sexuality and birth control within Anglicanism, as represented by statements from Lambeth Conferences and in discussions in the Church of England during the early to mid twentieth century, and notes some of the changes in ‘official’ position within US churches and especially The Episcopal Church. It offers comparison with the developments in moral theology within the Roman Catholic Church after 1930 and asks if, and by what means, the two Communions may come to agree on the specific issue of contraception.
