The First Global Revivalist? Reuben Archer Torrey and the 1902 Evangelistic Campaign in Australia

AbstractAs a revivalist who appeared to have initiated a world-wide awakening of Christianity and was also an early leader of the fundamentalist movement, Reuben A. Torrey is generally regarded as a major figure in the early twentieth-century history of evangelicalism. By tracing its origins and results, this article attributes Torrey's rise to prominence in the global evangelical movement to the evangelistic campaign he conducted in Australia in 1902. Setting this episode in the context of the history of international revivalism, it identifies Torrey as the first global revivalist in influence as well as geographical range. In place of the traditional providential interpretation, the analysis proposes the alignment of the revivalist theology, methods, and achievement exhibited in the Australian campaign with the hopes and expectations of the preexisting conservative evangelical subculture as a “functionalist” explanation of Torrey's impact. As the reason for Torrey's transformed standing in the evangelical movement in America and the wider world, the 1902 Australian campaign also emerges as a revealing case study of the dynamics of global evangelicalism and the function of international revivalism at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Patrick O’Brien on industrialization, little Britain and the wider world

AbstractPatrick O’Brien has dedicated most of his career to studying British economic history, focusing on the Industrial Revolution, its antecedents, characteristics and consequences. He has always paid attention to long-term developments and never confined himself to strictly economic aspects. From the late 1990s onward, he increasingly turned ‘global’. His importance for global history cannot be overstated. His essay in this issue presents the outcome of his long intellectual journey. I will in this rejoinder try to assess his approach and his findings and comment on Patrick as a scholar and as a person. As we are close friends I will be critical.

SARS-CoV-2 related HIV, HBV, RSV, VZV, Enteric viruses, Influenza, DENV, S. aureus and TB co-infections

SARS-CoV-2 a virulent disease that established the entire wide world due to its severity. Its 1st case was rumored in Wuhan, China within the year 2019 and it had been the beginning of this pandemic. This virus killed virtually a complete of 4,465,683 folks round the globe until date. Despite the fact that viral co-infections have the ability to alter the host’s illness pattern, few research have looked at the disease outcomes in patients who are infected with HIV and hCoVs. Despite the fact that HIV-positive people can be infected with hCoVs, researchers are now revealing that their chances of acquiring serious CoV-related disorders are typically similar to what is seen in the general population. The relation between SARS-CoV-2 and HBV was summarized rather HBV effects the severity of COVID patient or not. SARS-CoV-2 could be a severe acute metabolic process syndrome. Scientists found ways in which to treat this virus, some were useful and alternative weren’t that a lot of effective. Immunizing agent was one among the most important considerations for the entire world. This virus conjointly fashioned an entry for alternative co-infections too. SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus, both causes respiratory diseases which confer as an extensive array of illness from asymptomatic or benign to critical disease and death. Also the mode of transmission and symptoms of influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 are same. Viral and bacterial rate is higher in SARS-CoV-2 negative patient but are comparable. Serologies facts confirmed that patients with effective results for dengue virus (DENV) NS1 antigen and anti-dengue IgM were also attentive to COVID-19 speedy antibody tests, suggesting dengue COVID-19 co-infection. Mixed infection of dengue and COVID-19 needs unique interest from all dengue-common nations in Asia, especially the ones with limited resources. To our knowledge, this is the primary showed case of co-infection of dengue and COVID-19 in Indonesia. During patient’s TB course, COVID-19 can occur at any time with worse consequences for the patients who are affected by active pulmonary disease.

Making the Environmental Humanities Consequential in “The Age of Consequences”

AbstractThis article suggests that global environmental assessments (GEAs) may be a potent means for making the environmental humanities more consequential outside universities. So far most GEAs have been led by geoscientists, with mainstream social science in support. However, there is no reason why the concept of assessment cannot be elasticated to include the concerns of interpretive social science and the humanities. Building on the forty-year history and authority of GEAs as a means to bridging the gap between the research world and the wider world, this article identifies the potential that reformatted assessments hold for more impactful work by environmental humanists. It suggests some next steps for rethinking the means and ends of assessment toward a new paradigm that bridges geoscience, mainstream social science, and humanistic thinking about the nonhuman world. This paradigm would explore the human dimensions of environmental change fully. The timing is propitious: independently GEAs are undergoing change at the very moment that the “What next?” question is being asked by many environmental humanists. This article is intended to inspire debate and, ultimately, action. It both makes the case for more humanistic GEAs and offers examples of potential work packages.

Experiences of Family Members in Caring of Stroke Patients: A Case Study in the Border Provinces of the Upper Northeast of Thailand

BACKGROUND: Stroke patients require continued care, which makes stroke family caregivers unlikely to anticipate the end of home health-care service. AIM: The objectives of this study aimed, therefore, to seek understanding of stroke family caregivers in relation to caring experience, problems and barriers, and needs of family caregivers in the context of border provinces of the upper northeast of Thailand. METHODS: The current study was based on the phenomenological approach. The study samples included 16 informants. Data collection, conducted between February and August 2020, was performed using in-depth interviews. The collected data then were analyzed using the van Manen’s approach. RESULTS: Experiences of the stroke family caregivers were reflected and fell in van Manen’s 4 points under 12 thematic categories: (1) Lived body including lack of knowledge, fatigue, and sense of obligation; (2) lived time including paying gratitude, uncertainty, and paying retribution; (3) lived space including just long distance, being isolated in the wide world and living in a remote area; and (4) lived relation including blood thicker than water, community network, and needs from health-care services. CONCLUSION: The findings may be exploited to develop health service preparedness for health outcome promotion for stroke patients and stroke family caregivers.

“Los Programadores Debieron Pensarse Como Dos Veces”: Exploring the Intersections of Language, Power, and Technology with Bi/Multilingual Students

Critical computing approaches to K-12 computer science education aim to promote justice in computing and the wider world. Despite being intertwined with inequitable power dynamics in computing, issues of linguistic (in)justice have received less attention in critical computing. In this article, I draw on theoretical ideas from sociolinguistics and critical computing to analyze qualitative data collected in computing and technology-integrated language and humanities classes serving emergent bi/multilingual middle school students. Conversations about language, technology, and power were close at hand in focal classrooms, and surfaced in moments when students acted as users and critics of, and tinkerers with, digital tools. Students exercised agency in relation to both technology and language—using their budding understandings of language to question digital tools, and their engagements with tools to challenge traditional language ideologies. I build on past scholarship and the findings of this analysis to argue for the development ofcritical translingual computing education—an approach that would engage especially language-minoritized students in critical computing to build on and affirm their language practices and promote linguistic justice in computer science education, fields, and tools.

PENGINTEGRASIAN NILAI-NILAI AGAMA ISLAM PADA PEMBELAJARAN DI SEKOLAH

Integration according to Sanusi is a unified whole, not divided and scattered. Integration includes the needs or completeness of the members who form a unit with a close, harmonious and intimate relationship between the members of the unit. Whereas what is meant by value education integration is the process of integrating certain values into another concept so that it becomes a coherent and inseparable whole or the process of assimilation to become a unified whole and unified.&#x0D; In the world of education, the term integration is usually associated with a movement for democratic education that focuses on actual issues as the core curriculum. Integration learning centers on organizing important issues in the school curriculum with the wider world. This integration will connect problems with one another, so that a unity of knowledge is built. A knowledge that represents the parts to the whole (part whole relationships)

Tackling Disinformation in Times of Crisis: The European Commission’s Response to the Covid-19 Infodemic and the Feasibility of a Consumer-centric Solution

Since 2016, the European Commission has sought to take a proactive stance in addressing disinformation, with this stance evidently influenced by the divisive nature of disinformation and its ability to dissuade participation and trust in democratic institutions. Yet as the coronavirus pandemic brought fear and uncertainty to Europe and the wider world, how well equipped was the Commission’s approach for the onslaught of health disinformation which accompanied the pandemic? Reflecting on the EU’s soft law approach both before and after this ‘Infodemic,’ this article critically analyses the inherent difficulties in regulating disinformation and looks ahead to the Commission’s proposed approach into the future. Finally, considering these inherent regulatory difficulties and the impact of the Infodemic, this paper reflects upon the feasibility of a ‘consumer-centric’ solution to tackling disinformation in the European Union.

EFFICACY OF AYURVEDA THERAPEUTICS IN PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF COVID 19 PANDEMIC AND POST COVID RECOVERY PHASE: AN EVIDENCE BASED REVIEW

Corona virus disease 19 (COVID 19) is a dreaded disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome corona virus 2(SARS CO V2). This wide spread pandemic had taken whole world into custody, alone in India as per data available on myGov (Govt of India website) more than 3 cr. people affected and 4 lac surplus fatalities reported till 17 September 2021. Post COVID complications are also severe and hospitalisation is needed in some cases. Despite all the prophylactic and therapeutic measures been taken to contain the disorder, strategies to cure it thoroughly without other complications, is still a challenge. Though vaccination drive against COVID 19 is running successfully in India, medicines to minimise the impact and sufferings because of COVID is indispensable. Approaching holistically based on Dosha sidhanta Ayurveda therapeutics had shown favourable results in COVID positive patients. Ayurveda believes that disease manifestation is the result of imbalanced doshas, if we become competent to manage and pacify those doshas, disease can be cured. Vyadhipratyanik chikitsha (disease and symptoms targeting therapy) and Hetupratyanik chikitsha (cause and dosha targeting therapy) are the modules that are approached in Ayurveda system. Reviewing the previous work done in this field and observing COVID19 on Ayurveda parameters, Ayurveda medicines and therapeutics have been anticipated here to heal the scar impacted by precarious COVID 19. Much more researches and clinical interventions are required to establish kind of effective therapy.

Did Brexit Change EU Law?

Abstract This paper investigates whether the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union changed EU law. Brexit necessarily animated the law related to and produced by Article 50 TEU. Did it also imprint on fundamental premises of EU law that will continue to shape relations between the Member States and the Union, and between the Union and the wider world? These questions are examined through the examples of the legal force of political decision-making and the legal nature of relationships with third States. At one level, it will be seen that Brexit restored the centrality of Union institutions and processes in the EU law-making that responds to exceptional situations. At the same time, however, it has distorted and/or displaced some of the vital checks and balances that would normally apply. A course correction exploiting a rounded understanding of the effectiveness of EU law and provoking coherent articulation of the legal coordinates of Union membership is urged in response.

The Impact Of Globalisation On Higher Education In Algeria

Education is becoming more and more important not only for the development of one’s personality but also for the sustained growth of nations mainly in the age of globalisation as information is universally shared. The impact of globalization on education in the contemporary time has emerged as a subject of continuous debate and discourse. This paper focuses on the impact of globalization in the domain of higher education wide world since it drives changes in education systems towards wider global perspectives. It specifically reviews how the phenomenon of globalization is affecting educational policy and planning in the Algerian universities and thereby influencing how such segment of education might be restructured to satisfy learners’ and educators’ hopes and desires for an ideal future as being more imaginative, innovative, and widely responsive to ideas, experiences, feelings, emotions, and most importantly open on intercultural and mutual cooperation in a globalized world. In short this study addresses the impact of globalisation on higher education in Algeria, and sheds light on the overall reforms adopted so far by the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to cope with the urgent need for globalisation. The most prominent of these reforms is the LMD ( License, Master ,Doctorate) System that came to cut ties with the so called Classical System that kept Algerian universities in backwardness for more than 50 years. It also analyses the challenges and obstacles that hinder the Algerian universities from becoming more competitive and profitable globally. It finally ends up by providing some recommendations to better benefit from the fruits of globalisation by sharing the ever-increasing excellence in teaching within the integrated knowledge-driven world community.

Page, Stage, Location

Abstract The growth of globalization has greatly expanded the exposure of writers and now filmmakers to the wider world beyond their home country or region, offering new opportunities to bring elements of the outside world into their works, and in turn to take their works out to distant audiences. This essay discusses the increasing presence of foreign cultures in the progression from the literary detail to the stage prop and then the movie location, and then focuses on three films based on literary works, films that display the growing presence of the world in contemporary cinema and of the films in the world.

Children’s documentaries: distance and ethics in European storytelling about the wider world

ABSTRACT The material challenges of funding, commissioning and distribution that are well known to inhibit production of children’s factual content about other countries and cultures operate in parallel with challenges arising from the moral responsibilities inherent in what Roger Silverstone called “the problem of proper distance”. By that he signified a “moral category” requiring filmmakers to provide “context as well as imagination” and be willing to “recognise the other in her sameness and difference”. “Distance” and “difference” have become at once more significant but also more ambiguous at a time of mass forced migration, in which traditions, religions and cultures from distant places are brought together in physical proximity. Based on input from cross-cultural dialogues, screenings and interviews involving European producers of children’s documentaries, this article explores dilemmas and experiences faced in representing the backgrounds and stories of children who arrived in Europe from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the mid-2010s. It shows the resonance of Silverstone’s thinking by revealing that many practitioners themselves apply notions of closeness and distance, both physically and metaphorically, in their choices about combining the familiar and unfamiliar and co-creating content with child participants. IMPACT SUMMARY a. Prior State of Knowledge: Existing power imbalances between filmmaker and subject/participant are accentuated when documentaries are made about vulnerable children. Studies have pinpointed competing pressures to tell a compelling story, respect privacy and provide background, while avoiding exoticism, didacticism and cultural preconceptions. b. Novel Contributions: Practitioners’ spontaneous references to “distance” when discussing their filming of refugee children demonstrate that Silverstone’s concept of “proper distance” as a “moral category” can be operationalised in co-creating content with documentary participants and evaluating the merits of such documentaries. c. Practical Implications: Creatives and commissioning editors responsible for children’s factual content about other cultures can use the findings to calibrate how they convey children’s “sameness” and “difference” with empathy and respect. Such content’s relevance for promoting social cohesion also matters to policymakers.

Putting “New Wine in Old Bottles”: Subversion of the Symbolic

Angela Carter’s The Magic Toyshop tells the story of the claustrophobic lives of six characters who find themselves stuck in the house of Uncle Philip, who demands absolute submission from them and who isolates them from the wider world. Uncle Philip acts like the Freudian Primordial Father who feels free to act in any way he likes disregarding any restrictions. By forcing the household members to work in his toyshop all day, he creates a solipsistic universe, which is cut off from the network of the symbolic in Lacanian terms. In this world, their living practice deviates from the norms of traditional discourse as there is incest between the siblings, or as they heavily engage in pre-or extra-linguistic representation of reality such as drawing, dancing, making music and toys. Aunt Margaret becomes dumb on her wedding night, or Uncle Philip does not send the siblings to school, which, in Lacanian terms, is a codifying space of the Law. For these reasons, Uncle Philip’s house embodies the heterogeneity of the imaginary residues rather than submission to the organising principles of the symbolic. Theirs becomes an alternative site of being to the one outside. This essay aims to explore the psychodynamics of the characters’ relations to one another, the unconventional intrasubjectivity created between them in this unconventional space and the implications of imaginary residues in their living practice using Lacanian ideas as my conceptual backcloth.

Living in the wake of punk

Almost since its inception, punk has been declared dead. What does it mean to live attached to something that is always, at least a little bit, gone? Examining how Justin Pearson merges personal accounts of death and mourning with a sense of punk that is rooted in loss in his memoir of his participation in a North American punk culture since the 1990s, From the Graveyard of the Arousal Industry, this article considers how a focus on living in the wake of the death of punk might shift scholarly and popular narratives told about punk. Punk outlives its death in the 1970s with a redemptive rebirth in which it became the subject of an anti-capitalist narrative. The article considers how Pearson’s memoir explores a different framework by insisting that punk may not be able to separate itself from the wider world, and that while this might appear to deal a death blow to punk, it also names a persistent set of conditions that define punk. After placing the memoir in the context of this redemptive account of punk as well as among those who see its limits, the article offers an analysis of several scenes addressing personal losses that merge with Pearson’s attachment to punk-as-something-dead-and-gone. The deaths that Pearson associates with punk rock are personal, but they also register the larger significance of loss for a subculture that cannot stop declaring its own demise, including especially the loss of a fantasy that sees punk as a refuge from the world.
