The author of the article applies the analysis of and the comparison between axiological basements of V. Frankl’s logotherapy and the Orthodox christian asceticism. The aim of the article is to find common ground and crossing of meanings, which could be the ground for fruitful cooperation between Orthodox christian psychotherapists and secular phycologists. For the Orthodox christians who deal with phychology this article aims to show the perspective of the interpretation of the efficient phsycotherapeutic methods, which coinside with the Church’s worldview and for those phycologists who do not con- sider themselves Orthodox Christians — the article is the testimony of Christ.

The Relationship

- Family, Sexuality, Reproduction: an Unsolved Puzzle discusses the relationship between family history, gender studies and the studies of sexualities. Its starting point is the consideration that, perhaps surprisingly, disciplines and research interests apparently close have struggled to find a common language and a fruitful cooperation. Moving from a perspective of family history, this article explores causes and consequences of this apparent difficulty in finding a common ground between scholars of family, gender and sexuality and the possibility of overcoming it.Keywords: Family, Sexuality, Reproduction, Gender studies, Historiography, History.Parole chiave: Famiglia, Sessualitŕ, Riproduzione, Studi di genere, Storiografia, Storia.

Abstract This article addresses a key problem at the intersection of medicine and religion: how do people fashion themselves into moral subjects in the midst of acute bodily suffering? In particular, how can we situate the wounded, porous body of obstetric fistula in relation to Ethiopian Orthodox Christian ideals of purity and containment? Through an analysis of regimens of embodied piety among Orthodox Christians in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, this article seeks to delineate the multiplicity of ways in which fistula sufferers are able to exercise their religiosity in the face of their physical affliction, and how they use the very symbols that would seem to alienate them to achieve a powerfully enlightened subject position. This study thus complicates static notions of the sacred to reveal the recursive nature of holiness, and shows that recognition of the body’s imperfection is built into the very system of Orthodox belief and practice.

The One

The study offers a comparative analysis of historical grand récits written during the period of the Austro–Hungarian Empire in the imperial center, Hungary and Bohemia. On the one hand, the study focuses on different strategies of legitimizing the existence of the empire from Austro-German historians and, on the other, on how compatible these historical visions were with those of Hungarian and Czech scholars. Rather than seeing “imperial” and “national” histories as isolated, by genre different narratives, our aim is to study them as community histories which have serious implications for each other: smaller (national) community histories for the larger (imperial) community, and vice versa. The study does not only rely on the analysis of these community histories, but aims to situate them in the larger context of the historical argumentation of the contemporary political discourse, as well as the central notions with which loyalty to Austria could be expressed. According to the conclusion of the study, there is no discernible common ground for Austro-German historians in terms of defining the mission and essence of Austria or even for basic notions describing the empire’s past. Also, their definitions of crucial notions such as the “nation” significantly contradicted the major Hungarian master narratives.

On the basis of the work of S. Kierkegaard «Exercises in Christianity» and V.S. Solovyov's «Readings on God-manhood» the article presents a comparative analysis of the positions of the authors as religious thinkers, formed in line with the problem of limiting the claims of the mind, which in earlier philosophy had become the only and comprehensive explanatory principle. The article outlines the common ground of their positions, which is a criticism of the official religion and the formalism of state churches. It notes that the innovative and original religious philosophies of Kierkegaard and Solovyov have a common mission – the revival of Christianity degenerated into a public religion, but at the same time they differ in character and structure. It concludes that Kierkegaard and Solovyov, critically reinterpreting the Christian religion that is contemporary to them, offer their religious philosophy as a way out of the crises of their time.

Evaluation Strategy

In this reflective analysis, I describe the conditions that led the leaders of a multisite initiative to adapt their program model towards a framing that centralized responsiveness as an organizing value. After reflecting on how this shift affected the initial evaluation plan, I provide a synopsis of how we went about revising our evaluation strategy. The reimagined approach centred on eliciting and characterizing various site-specific aspects of culture and context that may influence outcomes attainment across the multisite initiative. This approach enabled comparative analysis of the various innovative, place-based expressions of the initiative across its sites. Reframing the evaluation strategy also enabled future comparative mixed methods study of maximal variation cases and qualitative comparative analysis of specific conditions related to outcomes attainment. Findings suggest that evaluators would benefit from embracing adaptive change in programs and expecting heterogeneity in multisite initiatives.

Power And Influence

When we talk about women periodical editors, do we share a conceptual or definitional understanding of what we mean when we say ‘editor’, whatever our language? Does it matter if we leave the label so open that it incorporates as many types of periodical editor as there are periodicals? Can we be more categorical? And, critically, do we need to be more categorical? Accounts of editorial types that exist in the nineteenth-century British context are diverse in terms of descriptors but overwhelmingly male and white as models. Does the rich and extensive recuperation of editorial work by women over the past four decades require shared frames of understanding that counter such gendered models and that work across our different linguistic, ideological, geographical, and social territories? This discussion concludes that models and typologies are too restrictive, exclusive, and confining: they replicate and reinforce sets of privilege. Instead, we might work on developing shared sets of questions that will allow for comparative analysis across our various case studies so that we can debate issues of access, power, and influence, seek common ground, and articulate the reasons for difference.

The Legionary Movement in Romania between the two world wars in this century provides a useful historico-ethical case study of the inter-relations among anti-Semitism, modern nationalism, and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. To be sure, this historical phenomenon is fascinating in its own right, and the burgeoning literature on this subject reflects the interests of historians and social scientists alike. The purpose of this essay, however, is to examine this complex political-cultural movement in the light of the secondary literature and the primary documentary source in order to evaluate it from the perspective of an Orthodox Christian moral theologian.

Research background: Since the end of COP 21 in Paris 2015 and even before, there is a huge interest for big companies to see their names at the top of the different ranking, as sustainability leaders. It is not only a matter of pride but also a business interest to promote sustainability values. The countries engage themselves to reduce global warming but this can only be done by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Multinationals companies are in the position to bring a huge contribution to this objective. In this paper, we will try to evaluate different rankings done by various organisations, different companies that are in top positions in order to understand the real advancement. Purpose of the article: We want to see what is similar but also what differentiates one company from another. We will also analyse what the main key performance indicators are, used in to assess the evolution over time and how the companies are communicating their progress. We want to demonstrate if there is any common ground among different rankings or if there are huge differences in terms of results. Methods: Using descriptive and comparative analysis we demonstrate that different companies are entitled as champions of different rankings, using different metrics. Findings & Value added: In a global world, we can see that there is an important commercial interest of companies to appear in front of clients and investors as upholders of sustainability. Showing off a label of sustainability leader can help in doing business but it is not always corresponding with reality.

Epidemic Risk

This paper pledges to illustrate and analyse the practices and measures that Eastern European Orthodox Christian communities in the diaspora implemented in response to the global phenomenon of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. A comparative study of two different West-European communities, in Italy and France, will be attempted through the tools of multi-sited participant observation. We will illustrate the alternative forms of reaction and re-aggregation implemented by the faithful and their priests by putting them in communication with the two local contexts, and with the overall dynamics that have affected contemporary Orthodoxy. Observation will therefore offer fruitful opportunities to investigate the semantic variations with which Orthodox communities translate the debate between tecno-scientific measures and religious dogmas, and between civil and religious authorities, in a scenario in which orthodox migrants are protagonists of both a growing religious transnationalization, and a new everyday life regulated by epidemic risk and physical and social distancing. We will therefore focus on the production from below of new practices, which have readjusted the community belonging and the adherence to dogmas and traditional rituality, both central in Orthodox Christianity, to the current condition.

Test Usage

The present investigation was undertaken for the purpose of looking at the correlation between industrial pre-employment assessments and the prevocational assessments used by clinical occupational therapists. This pilot study involved the surveying of a sample of different-sized industries in the London, Ontario area. A similar survey of practising occupational therapists was also done in London. The authors were interested in the prevalence of test usage, the average number of tests used by industry and therapists, and specifically, the types of tests used by both groups. Conclusions centre around two ideas: (a) If occupational therapy prevocational assessment usage is concerned primarily with ascertaining patient skill level in a work approach for patient/therapist feedback purposes, then perhaps there should be no concern with correlating these activities with industry in the London area; (b) If communication between therapists and industry in the London area is to be enhanced for the purposes of providing possible client placement and more meaningful information for vocational rehabilitation personnel, a common ground for discussion and negotiation could be gained by using the same or similar tests. This may encourage a greater future success rate in placing prevocationally assessed clients in job situations in the London area. A larger nation-wide sample of industry and occupational therapy departments may further elucidate this issue in order to keep occupational therapists abreast of the changing needs of Canadian industry.
