Battles beneath the Sea: Phoenician Votive Offerings as a Possible Religious Response to Extreme Marine Events in the Gulf of Cadiz

ABSTRACT This article reviews the possible cause for the underwater deposition of a series of Phoenician bronze figurines dated between the eighth and seventh centuries BC and discovered on the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, around the Islet of Sancti Petri (Cadiz) and on the coast near the city of Huelva. These figurines have been interpreted as votive offerings thrown into the waters near the ports of Cadiz and Huelva by Phoenician seafarers and merchants at the end of their voyages as an expression of gratitude to the god Melqart. Instead, I propose that these objects may have been thrown into the waters as part of religious rituals intended to appease the waters of the ocean following the occurrence of catastrophic marine floods, such as those that apparently affected the seaboard of the Gulf of Cadiz in the middle of the first millennium BC.

The Shifting Meaning of Walīmatul ‘Urs in the Era of Society 5.0 in Indonesia: Islamic Law Perspective

The advent of globalization, ushering in the era of Society 5.0, has turned marriage events into a focal point of cultural dynamics. An example of this is evident in the celebration of weddings, known as walīmatul ‘urs. This study delves into the walīmatul ‘urs festivities organized by various Muslim celebrities in Indonesia.

The data collection process uses three techniques: observation, interviews from digital sources, and documentation. This study concludes that the purpose and main meaning of walīmatul ‘urs according to Islamic family law is as a sacred and strong bond (mithāqan ghalīdhan), a form of expression of gratitude to God and happiness in addition to providing benefits to society. The meaning of walimatul 'urs then underwent a shift in essence in the context of Indonesian Muslim celebrities, which were partly influenced by technological advances in the Society 5.0 era.

Community Empowerment Program by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga DPPU Ngurah Rai

This paper seeks to explain the community empowerment program carried out by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga DPPU Ngurah Rai as a commitment in implementing CSR. The community empowerment CSR program is called Eco-Religion Waste Management System Kedonganan Ngardi Resik. The background of the development of this program, namely: the preservation of customs and culture of the community in Kedonganan Traditional Village Bali. The community there conducts prayer activities through canang facilities made of “janur” as an expression of gratitude to Him. After the worship is over, the canang is forced to become a residue that is disposed of in the landfill because the community is not used to sorting waste from the smallest scale. This community empowerment program was developed through the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) model in responding to environmental crises carried out with the Kedonganan Traditional Village Bali community by mainstreaming religious, social, and cultural communities to create an integrated waste management system. This program has succeeded in creating a disciplined community in sorting waste from the household level and processing waste into compost and bio charcoal briquettes that are reused by the community. This program also contributes to reducing environmental impact of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Hidden Power of “Thank You”: Exploring Aspects, Expressions, and the Influence of Gratitude in Religious Families

Gratitude has been extensively studied over the past two decades. Among several predictors, aspects of religiosity and spirituality have been consistent predictors of gratitude. To explore the religious motivations and processes that foster the practice of gratitude, we undertook a systematic thematic analysis using interview data from a national qualitative project of 198 highly religious families. Participants (n = 476) included mothers, fathers, and children from various socioeconomic backgrounds and from diverse religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds in the United States of America. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the participants’ homes. Data for this study were analyzed using a team-based approach to qualitative analysis. The findings were organized thematically, including: (a) aspects of gratitude, (b) expressions of gratitude, and (c) the influence of gratitude. Two aspects of gratitude were identified: functional—what people were grateful for—and directional—to whom they were grateful. Expressions of gratitude involved participation in regular, gratitude-focused prayers and mutual day-to-day appreciation. The relational context and implications and context of gratitude in religious families were further examined and reported with sub-themes: (a) gratitude prompted positive re-evaluation of relationships and (b) gratitude reinforced religious faith. Implications, strengths, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Reverse compassion: value-in-use and value-in-context of healthcare services during crisis

PurposeUsing data from a continuous and ongoing cross-sectional web survey on hospitalisation service experiences in two Italian regions, the authors used multilevel and multivariate logistic regression models to identify factors related to users' demographics, emotional and informative support, technical and physical aspects of the provision, influencing satisfaction and willingness-to-recommend, before and during a crisis.Design/methodology/approachThe value-in-use, defined in terms of a positive or negative value given by the experience with services, can be evaluated by users and influenced by the context of provision. The authors tested whether and how the value-in-use of services changed in a context of crisis. This study is applied to the healthcare sector during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, by evaluating the impact of the pandemic on hospitalisation experience.FindingsOverall, analyses of 8,712 questionnaires found a greater value after the pandemic spread. In a time of crisis, technical and informative aspects of care were found to be most valued by patients that may recognise the extraordinary professionalism of workers during the crisis.Research limitations/implicationsThis study empirically suggests that context can affect the evaluation of value-in-use by patients during unprecedented circumstances, producing additional value-in-context.Practical implicationsThese findings imply that during critical periods where there is less scope for expressions of gratitude and appreciation towards front-line workers, user-reported data can be used for motivating professionals and increase resilience. These results reiterate the need to continue collecting and reporting the service users' voices, including as activity within plans for managing challenging situations.Social implicationsThe level of healthcare system distress, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, positively affects patients' propensity to recommend, which the authors suggest is driven by healthcare services' feelings of reverse compassion. These findings imply that during critical periods where there is less scope for expressions of gratitude and appreciation towards front-line workers, user-reported data can be used for motivating professionals and increase resilience, which can have positive social implications. These results reiterate the need to continue collecting and reporting the service users' voices, including as activity within plans for managing challenging situations.Originality/valueResearch based on the intersection of theoretical and empirical research regarding value-in-use, value-in-context and service quality measured through user experience is scarce, in particular in the healthcare sector. The authors' findings set the direction for future research on the influence of context on value creation and value creation's perception by users, on the concept of reverse compassion and on reverse compassion's impact on organisational well-being, particularly in times of crisis.

Dissertation Acknowledgements in Cameroon English: A Semantic Analysis

The acknowledgement section of a thesis is a genre within the academic discourse community. It gives the graduate student an opportunity to express their gratitude toward a number of addressees after the completion of a rather tedious research process. This genre has attracted a lot of interest in research in academic writing in English in the Outer Circle. Some of these studies have focused on their generic structure (Al-Ali, 2010, Hyland 2004), their expressions of gratitude (Hyland and Tse 2004) or their semantic structures (Cheng 2012). These features have, however, been conspicuously neglected in the literature in Cameroon English. Given that genre is the study of language use in a given sociocultural or academic context, this study examines 200 dissertation acknowledgements (herein after DAs) collected from six major disciplines in three renowned state universities in Cameroon. Our objective here was to do an in-depth analysis of all the thanking acts of the various texts that constituted our corpus in order to bring out the dominant semantic features that were used in expressing thanks. As far as semantic categories are concerned, our data revealed about 1494 thanking acts with seven categories of thanking, 1308 of which were explicit and 186 of which were implicit. These thanking strategies, however, varied greatly from one discipline to another. For the purpose of this study, the strategies were simply identified as strategy 1 to strategy 7 according to how they were semantically structured and strategy 8 comprises implicit thanking acts. The different semantic strategies were classified following Cheng’s 2010 coding scheme though with modifications depending on what our analysis revealed.

Indonesia has very diverse traditions and customs. The culture in Indonesia is one of the historical heritages that we must preserve today because life is becoming more modern, little by little eroding the existence of local culture. In its history, Indonesia is a society with many tribes and cultures that have local wisdom that is preserved by the people. Petik Laut is one of the traditions in Indonesia which is currently still being carried out precisely in Puger District, Jember Regency. Puger people think that the results of the natural surroundings are a resource and the key to their well-being.

Looking to the Year Ahead

Already 2023 is looking to be a great year for AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Our Annual Conference, PALTC23, held in Tampa, FL, was a huge success. We welcomed over 1,300 people, including 87 Futures Program participants, to learn and celebrate together, fully in-person for the first time since 2019. Some of the highlights of the conference were enjoying a much-needed laugh with our opening keynote speaker, honoring the Foundation’s award recipients and the giving campaign, and celebrating Chris Laxton’s last meeting as our fearless executive director. We also welcomed our incoming Executive Director Michelle Zinnert, CAE. Michelle officially joined the Society on April 24, 2023, and I am excited to work side by side and to learn from one another’s experiences to move our important strategic plan forward. Our Society has now closely aligned our education and clinical affairs teams. I am confident that this change will elevate the ability of our members to make an even bigger impact in PALTC through more integrated educational experiences and clinical products. We will continue to provide our most popular offerings, such as our various podcasts — which recently boasted over 200,000 downloads! A big thank you goes to Wayne Saltsman, MD, PhD, CMD, for starting the AMDA On-The-Go series, which is now being hosted by the multitalented Diane Sanders-Cepeda, DO, CMD. I also want to thank our other hosts, Karl Steinberg, MD, HMDC, CMD, Christian Bergman, MD, CMD, and Alex Bardakh, MPP, CAE, who work hard to bring important clinical information and news in a timely manner. We will continue to explore other andragogical methods to disseminate content, including interactive web-based education. To give all our members and consumers the best experience with our products, our website is undergoing a much-needed redesign this year, which will make it even easier to find information and engage with the Society. Lastly, if you haven’t yet downloaded our app, I encourage you to do so now. The AMDA App offers instant information right at your fingertips to maximize your work in PALTC. You will find links to clinical tools, our publications, AMDA Social, and the Guide to PALTC Coding, among other offerings. On the advocacy front, we continue to engage with key leaders in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the U.S. Congress to move key policy initiatives forward. For instance, after the release of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality (National Academies Press, 2022) and the White House Fact Sheet, “Protecting Seniors by Improving Safety and Quality of Care in the Nation’s Nursing Homes” (February 29, 2020, https://bit.ly/40DPAbM), the Moving Forward Coalition was formed to bring diverse stakeholder input to policy and practice. The Society has participated as a key stakeholder since its inception, with Chris Laxton as our representative. With Chris Laxton’s retirement, I have been appointed as the Society’s official representative on the Moving Forward Coalition’s steering committee. I am looking forward to representing the voice of our Society’s clinical leaders to improve the quality of life and care delivery of our patients and residents. This is only one of the many ways we are working together with partner organizations to meet our Society’s vision and mission. People have been asking me what things I personally hope to accomplish this year. First and foremost, I want to ensure that we have a smooth executive director transition. A new face brings renewed energy and excitement about the work we are doing, but the change includes many logistical challenges that take time and energy. Second, I want to ensure that all our committees have clear direction and strong support to formulate and complete their 2023–2024 work plans. Third, I plan to strengthen and enrich our new and long-standing external stakeholder relationships. We do not practice PALTC medicine in a vacuum — engaging with other medical and health care societies, government entities, and newly formed coalitions such as Moving Forward and Be Well in AL (assisted living) is critical to moving us closer toward completing our mission. I want to close with another expression of gratitude for everyone who has and continues to contribute to the Society’s wonderful work. I serve you all as your official representative, and I am proud to be part of this amazing organization. Dr. Little is an associate professor of geriatric medicine at Duke University.

THE THEOLOGY OF RUWATAN TRADITION IN THE JAVANESE COMMUNITY IN KUMENDUNG VILLAGE MUNCAR DISTRICT BANYUWANGI

The ruwatan tradition is one of the Javanese traditional ceremonies which is held after the farmers harvest the rice. This is meant to express gratitude because the rice plants have been successfully harvested and have produced a satisfying harvest. Besides that, the ritual is also a tribute to the ancestors who have passed away and pray that their sins will be forgiven by God. For the Javanese people, this annual activity called sadranan is an expression of social religious reflection so that it has implications for the realm of theology. Descriptively, this work describes aspects of the Hindu theology of this ruwatan tradition, that is, it leads to the form of devotion to God Almighty. Ruwatan is a form of expression of gratitude to God in its various manifestations. The purpose of the ruwatan ceremony is to remind that in humans there is evil and risks that humans may have to bear as a result, so that the worship of God becomes the focal point. Likewise, theologically, ruwatan is also said to be a traditional ceremony from an ancient tradition left over by animism (worship of ancestral spirits or ancestor spirits) that originated in ancient times and is a relic of an agrarian culture that is thousands of years old. The agrarian culture used to be very strong and the name of Java itself is often known as Jawa Dwipa which means rice island.
