Polish History In the Sermons of Bl. Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko’s

There was a number of recurring themes appearing in Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko’s (1982–1984) sermons. Patriotism, however, is a chief one. The martyr priest wanted to form the national awareness, promote the love for the Country and present the Polish past. The historical examples include the 19th-century uprisings, the world wars, the Battle of Warsaw, the restoration of independence in 1918, The Warsaw Uprising, the anti-Soviet guerrilla warfare and the working-class strikes spanning till 1980. The preacher did not include the historical references just to present facts, although this would have made sense in the context of the Communist propaganda. The main purpose was to show to the fellow Poles the meaning of self-sacrifice and suffering as a price which had to be paid in the struggle for national liberty over centuries. Moreover, the preacher intended to keep up the spirits of the nation terrorised by the martial state and to give hope stemming from the religious and patriotic values. In Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko’s mind they would eventually pave the way towards Polish freedom and independence.

Music and Dance Go to War in Java

The kingdoms of pre-colonial Java were martial states, as well as supporters of a wide range of cultural activities. Artistic performances and war were intertwined. Martial skills and bloody accounts of battle are prominent in Javanese literature and the wayang theatre. Music and dance also played crucial roles in the real world of Javanese warfare. They were used in training: what Europeans called drill, Javanese called dance. And they were deployed on campaign and in battle itself. This short note examines 18th-century sources to shed light on how music and dance went to war in Java.

The electronic accounting system of medical equipment in NATO member countries as an example of using the modern information logistics systems

At this moment,Ukraineis creating an overall effective system of logistics support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military and paramilitary formations, which can qualitatively cooperate with NATO member countries and European Union in peaceful and martial states. This system effectiveness determines by the information quality and reliability, which is used to manage stream processes.

뇌졸중 환자 주돌봄자의 돌봄 부담감, 대처행동 및 자아탄력성

The purpose of this study was to identify the differences and relations among burden, coping behavior and ego-resilience on caregivers of stroke patients. Participants were 74 caregivers of stroke patients who were hospitalized in the department of Neurosurgery and Neurology. Data was collected from March, 30 to September, 30 of 2014. Result: Caregivers burden was 3.66, coping behavior and ego-resilience were 2.67 and 3.10. Caregivers burden had significant differences according to caregivers gender, age, relationship with the patient, education level, marital state, and subjectively perceived physical condition. Coping behavior had significant differences according to martial state and caregiving hours, ego-resilience had no variable which showed significant differences. There is little correlation among these three variables. In conclusion, the burden levels are high in caregivers. It requires measures for reducing the caregivers burden. Further replication studies to identify the relation among these three variables are needed as well.

State Power, Civic Participation and the Urban Frontier: The Politics of the Commons in Karachi

Abstract: A martial state's neoliberal policies opened the nation's frontiers to new forms of globalization. This article investigates the political process that undergirded the military and global capital's sequestration of common land in Karachi and the concomitant contestation by a key civil society organization. Using Foucault's conception of sovereignty and government as an assemblage of authority and strategies of rationalization, this paper analyses the role of state and non‐state actors and changing power configurations in a conflict that surrounded the enclosure of a common and its transformation into a securitized zone of consumption in Karachi's Civil Lines. The conflict highlights the nature of the politics of space and citizenship in Pakistan's primary metropolis.

Neo-nationalism seeks strength from the gods: Yasukuni Shrine, collective memory and the Japanese press

This article examines Japanese press coverage of Premier Koizumi’s controversial visits to Yasukuni Shrine from 2001 to 2006. The shrine memorializes war dead, including 14 Class-A Second World War criminals, and is implicated in the history issue — the unresolved legacy of Imperial Japan’s wartime history. Using critical, qualitative content analysis, the authors analyze the Japanese press coverage’s representation of historical context. Theories of the social production of news and collective memory ground their analysis and interpretation of the representations and their implications. They argue that the press coverage that contextualized the shrine’s war criminals offered critical, mnemonic representations, while those that excluded this context provided fragmented representations. The authors assess the implications of these representations for the contemporary political objective of moving Japan toward a martial state. Ultimately, the Japanese press’s capacity to facilitate debate on history issues depends upon the public coming to terms with the war’s history and legacy.

Render Unto Caesar… What? Reflections on the Work of William Cavanaugh

AbstractAn increasing concern for the place of religion in global politics in the past decade is reflected in the work of William Cavanaugh, a political theologian coming from the radical orthodox movement of the Roman Catholic tradition. Taking aim at key tropes in international relations, Cavanaugh introduces a strong critique of the legitimacy of the state and against its martial attitude. This review questions the historicity and generalizability of Cavanaugh's analysis. It also challenges Cavanaugh's exaltation of the church from both an internal and external perspective. Finally, it considers the expanded role of the state as compared to Cavanaugh's vision of the martial state. By way of conclusion, it questions the extent to which Cavanaugh provides an alternative to consigning religious groups to civil society or a workable role for Christian engagement with global politics, even though he provides us with a strong critique of the state.

A review of women requesting reversal of tubal sterilization.

A the Women's Hospital, Crown Street in the past 4 years 64 women who requested reversal of tubal sterilization have been studied. Some of their characteristics at the time of sterilization and the reasons for their request for reversal are examined. It would appear that relatively young women of low parity whose reasons for sterilization are primarily socioeconomic in association with an unstable martial state are those most likely to request reversal. Furthermore, postpartum sterilization in such women is more likely to lead to requests for reversal than interval sterilization. The overwhelming reason for requesting reversal is the establishment of a new marital relationship. However, there is a small group whose reason is the death of the antecedent child, usually a cot death, under the age of 6 months.
