The necessity of explicating metatheoretical assumptions regarding the view on reality in cientific practical theological research This article is the second in the research project “Metatheoretical assumptions in Practical Theology”. In this project – as indicated in the previous article − a group of reformed theologians is elucidating and discussing their metatheoretical and other perspectives regarding research in Practical Theology. In this article the necessity to explain metatheoretical assumptions concerning a view on reality, is discussed from a reformed perspective. The practical theological implications of a view on reality with its roots in the sixteenth-century protestant Reformation are critically compared with an alternative view on reality in the contemporary context which focuses more on the horizontal dimension of the action events taking place in praxis. This comparison is done with a view to responding to this alternative view in a responsible way. Essential characteristics of the sixteenth-century reformed view on reality seem to be its Scripture-determined vision and theocentric focus as well as the way in which human life and actions are represented as reflections of the “imago Dei”. The need to critically reflect on these characteristics and to newly align this view on reality with respect to challenges posed in the contemporary context, is explored.

A set of geometrical constraints for D = 10, N = 1 supergravity is formulated. It has the meaning as integrability conditions on "hyperplanes" determined by light-like lines in the superspace. The dynamical consequence of these geometrical constraints is studied via Bianchi identities. Since no equations of motion have resulted, these geometrical constraints can form an off-shell set of constraints for the theory. We also discuss additional constraints that lead to Poincare supergravity equations of motion. The relation of the theory with D = 4 N = 4 supergravity is also illuminated.

Mutual trust constitutes the foundation of the principle of mutual recognition, which in turn embodies a cornerstone of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). This contribution explores the development of the relationship between trust and distrust in two mutual recognition regimes of the AFSJ. It bases on the premise that trust and distrust are inextricably linked, and that their relationship should not be perceived as one of mutual exclusivity or contradiction. The analysis addresses exceptions to mutual recognition, which are often perceived as manifestations of distrust, and examines their potential impact on mutual trust. It is submitted that exceptions to mutual recognition are necessary requirements for building and maintaining trust in the AFSJ and that they constitute an adaptation of the principle of mutual recognition to the particularities of the AFSJ. Next to the horizontal dimension of trust (i.e., trust among Member States) the analysis adds a new perspective by highlighting the importance of the vertical dimension of trust.

In traditional psychoanalysis the unconscious was conceived as a separate intra-psychic reality, hidden ‘below consciousness’ and only accessible to a ‘depth psychology’ based on metapsychological premises and concepts. In contrast to this vertical conception, this chapter presents a phenomenological approach to the unconscious as a horizontal dimension of the lived body, lived space, and intercorporeality. This approach is based (a) on a phenomenology of body memory, defined as the totality of implicit dispositions of perception and behaviour mediated by the body and sedimented in the course of earlier experiences. It is also based on (b) a phenomenology of the life space as a spatial mode of existence which is centred in the lived body and in which unconscious conflicts are played out as field forces.

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) in measuring thinning bone surrounding dental implants. Three implants were inserted into the mandible of a domestic pig at 6 different bone thicknesses on the vestibular and the lingual sides, and measurements were recorded using CBCT. The results were obtained, analyzed, and compared with areas without implants. Our results indicated that the bone thickness and the neighboring implants decreased the accuracy and reliability of CBCT for measuring bone volume around dental implants. We concluded that CBCT slightly undermeasured the bone thickness around the implant, both buccally and orally, compared with the same thickness without the implant. These results support that using the i-CAT NG with a 0.2 voxel size is not accurate for either qualitative or quantitative bone evaluations, especially when the bone is thinner than 0.72 mm in the horizontal dimension.

The main theme of this chapter is an understanding of culture not as a text to be interpreted through root symbols falling on the axes of nature and culture, nor simply as shared values, but instead as providing the ability to both forge a belonging and finding resources within one’s culture to contest it and find one’s voice in its singularity within it. The chapter explores the concept of counterculture and finds its alignments with skepticism that takes us in a direction that asks not how do we know that the external world exists but how do I know that I exist, that I can trust myself in relation to others? Skepticism is engaged in this chapter as lining the everyday—using the idea of lining not to suggest a border but to allude to the way a coat and its lining, the exterior and the interior, are joined to each other. Hence skepticism is not the kind of doubt that can be extinguished once for all. The idea of forms of life is introduced in its horizontal dimension as “form” and its vertical dimension as “life” showing how forms of life are both, particular to a milieu and as drawing from our common background as humans.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate and to compare the deactivation force, deactivation length and superelasticity in horizontal and vertical directions of Nickel-titanium (NiTi) orthodontic archwires made by 3 different manufactures. Materials and methods: The archwires tested were NiTi-OR (Ormco), NiTi-GH (G&H) and NiTi-H (Highland) and were 0.016 x 0.022 inch2in cross-section and 25 mm in length. The study analysed load-deflection curves from three-point bending tests performed for each type of NiTi wire in vertical (occluso-gingival) direction (0.022” in horizontal dimension) and horizontal (bucco-lingual) direction (0.016” in vertical dimension) at oral temperature (37±10oC). Statistical Analysis: Descriptive analysis and Kruskal Wallis test were performed to assess differences in deactivation force, deactivation length and superelasticity among the three brands. A p<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The deactivation forces ranked from low to high were NiTi-GH, NiTi-OR and NiTi-H, 2.09, 2.57 and 2.90 N, respectively in horizontal dimension (occluso-gingival direction) and 3.04, 3.54 and 3.62 N in vertical dimension (bucco-lingual direction), respectively. For the deactivation length, ranking from long to short were NiTi-GH, NiTi-OR and NiTi-H, 1.08, 1.02 and 0.63 mm in horizontal dimension and 1.63, 1.46 and 1.13 mm in vertical dimension, respectively. In regards to superelasticity, NiTi-OR showed the highest superelasticity, 15.37 in horizontal and 9.68 in vertical dimension, followed by NiTi-GH, 9.51 for horizontal and 6.40 for vertical dimension and NiTi-H, 4.12 for horizontal dimension and 2.96 for vertical dimension. Conclusion: Deactivation force was higher in vertical than horizontal dimension and deactivation length was longer in vertical than horizontal dimension. However, the superelasticity was higher in horizontal than vertical dimension, except NiTi-H. The high priced NiTi wire (NiTi-OR) had the most superelasticity following by medium (NiTi-GH) and low priced wires (NiTi H).
