The Source of Righteousness according to The Homilies on the Epistle of St. Paul to Romans of John Chrysostom
2020
W Homiliach na List św. Pawła do Rzymian Jan Chryzostom wyłożył tradycyjną naukę Kościoła na temat usprawiedliwienia człowieka. Za podstawę uważał sprawiedliwość Boga, który, czego dowodzi przykład Abrahama, od początku historii zbawienia dążył do udzielenia ludziom darmowej łaski usprawiedliwienia, opierającej się nie na uczynkach wynikających z Prawa Mojżeszowego, ale na wierze w Bożą obietnicę. Źródłem łaski usprawiedliwienia była dla Złotoustego Ewangelia, a zwłaszcza męka, śmierć i zmartwychwstanie Jezusa Chrystusa. Przez pośrednictwo Odkupiciela sprawiedliwość Boża staje się dostępna śmiertelnikowi. Aby jednak człowiek rzeczywiście i skutecznie został przeniesiony w stan sprawiedliwoś…
The Spirit of Inquiry and the Reflected Self: Theological Anthropology and the Sociology of Knowledge
1978
The general aim of an anthropology may be said to be the determination of man's characteristics in his environment. In social anthropology, however, the trend has been to emphasise the environment at the expense of man. The present article argues that a similar tendency prevails in theology's typical description of man as a ‘hearer’ of the Word of God and finds illuminating parallels in Berger and Luckmann's sociology of knowledge. The failure of these two authors to maintain a true dialectic between individual creativity and the formative influences of society appears in connection with their view of human inquiry. By developing George Kelly's model of man as an inquiring scientist, the ar…
Highly irregular graphs with extreme numbers of edges
1997
Abstract A simple connected graph is highly irregular if each of its vertices is adjacent only to vertices with distinct degrees. In this paper we find: (1) the greatest number of edges of a highly irregular graph with n vertices, where n is an odd integer (for n even this number is given in [1]), (2) the smallest number of edges of a highly irregular graph of given order.
Financing public higher education in developing countries : the potential role of loan schemes
1986
The financing of education has emerged as a major topic of discussion among policy makers in recent years. There is evidence that in many developing countries, governments can no longer continue to increase spending on education at the high rates characteristic in the 1960s and 1970s. The macroeconomic environment has worsened, and there is keen intersectoral competition for public funds. Thus unless educational development moves away from its present heavy dependence on public funds, the expansion of education would be frustrated. One policy option is to increase the private financing of education. In this paper, we evaluate the potential effectiveness of loans schemes as a cost recovery i…
Radio Labelings of Distance Graphs
2013
A radio $k$-labeling of a connected graph $G$ is an assignment $c$ of non negative integers to the vertices of $G$ such that $$|c(x) - c(y)| \geq k+1 - d(x,y),$$ for any two vertices $x$ and $y$, $x\ne y$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$. In this paper, we study radio labelings of distance graphs, i.e., graphs with the set $\Z$ of integers as vertex set and in which two distinct vertices $i, j \in \Z$ are adjacent if and only if $|i - j| \in D$.
Frailty Tools for Assessment of Long-term Prognosis After Acute Coronary Syndrome
2020
Objective: To evaluate the 5 components of the Fried frailty phenotype (self-reported unintentional weight loss, physical activity questionnaire, gait speed, grip strength, and self-reported exhaustion) for long-term outcomes in elderly survivors of acute coronary syndrome. Methods: A total of 342 consecutive patients (from October 1, 2010, to February 1, 2012) were included. The 5 components of the Fried score and albumin concentration, as malnutrition index, were assessed before hospital discharge. Patients were followed up until April 2020 (median follow-up, 8.7 years). The end point was postdischarge all-cause mortality. Results: Mean ± SD age was 77±7 years and mean ± SD Fried score wa…
Gracia y gobierno en la administración valenciana del seiscientos. Hacia nuevos consensos
2015
Desde 1645 dos miembros de la nobleza local entraron a formar parte de la sala criminal de la Audiencia valenciana. Como consejeros de capa y espada asumieron competencias en materias de gracia y gobierno. Con esta medida se introdujo una moderación del arbitrio virreinal en tales ejercicios. Pero, sobre todo, la corona convirtió a la pequeña y mediana nobleza del reino en nueva colaboradora de su política de control estamental. From 1645 two members of the local nobility came to form part of the Criminal Chamber of the Valencian audience. As Ministers of «capa y espada» took powers in matters of Grace and Government. This measure was introduced a moderation of the Viceregal discretion in s…
Super Heavy Dark Matter Anisotropies from D-particles in the Early Universe
2004
We discuss a way of producing anisotropies in the spectrum of superheavy Dark matter, which are due to the distortion of the inflationary space time induced by the recoil of D-particles upon their scattering with ordinary string matter in the Early Universe. We calculate such distortions by world-sheet Liouville string theory (perturbative) methods. The resulting anisotropies are found to be proportional to the average recoil velocity and density of the D-particles. In our analysis we employ a regulated version of de Sitter space, allowing for graceful exit from inflation. This guarantees the asymptotic flatness of the space time, as required for a consistent interpretation, within an effec…
Drift of the Earth’s Principal Axes of Inertia from GRACE and Satellite Laser Ranging Data
2020
The location of the Earth’s principal axes of inertia is a foundation for all the theories and solutions of its rotation, and thus has a broad effect on many fields, including astronomy, geodesy, and satellite-based positioning and navigation systems. That location is determined by the second-degree Stokes coefficients of the geopotential. Accurate solutions for those coefficients were limited to the stationary case for many years, but the situation improved with the accomplishment of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), and nowadays several solutions for the time-varying geopotential have been derived based on gravity and satellite laser ranging data, with time resolutions reac…
La cúpula de la Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados de Valencia (I): el ámbito de la gloria
2007
-Rafael.G-Mahiques@uv.es Estudio iconográfico de los frescos de la cúpula de la Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados de Valencia, obra de Antonio Palomino realizada entre 1701 y 1704. Aproximación a un análisis del ámbito de la Gloria celestial. Aquí la Virgen aparece como reina e intercesora ante el Trono de Gracia, en donde, de acuerdo con la tradición iconográfica, se incluye a San Juan Bautista y los arma Christi portados por ángeles. En torno a este núcleo se disponen los bienaventurados, agrupados bajo el criterio de la Letanía Lauretana, en la cual María es invocada con los títulos de Reina de los Ángeles, de los Patriarcas, Profetas, Apóstoles, Mártires, Confesores, Vírgenes y …
