Estimating Human Impacts on Soil Erosion Considering Different Hillslope Inclinations and Land Uses in the Coastal Region of Syria
2020
Soils in the coastal region of Syria (CRoS) are one of the most fragile components of natural ecosystems. However, they are adversely affected by water erosion processes after extreme land cover modifications such as wildfires or intensive agricultural activities. The main goal of this research was to clarify the dynamic interaction between erosion processes and different ecosystem components (inclination, land cover/land use, and rainy storms) along with the vulnerable territory of the CRoS. Experiments were carried out in five different locations using a total of 15 erosion plots. Soil loss and runoff were quantified in each experimental plot, considering different inclinations and land u…
On the Nature of Information Management in Complex and Natural Disasters
2015
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present reflections on the nature of information management (IM) and its role and function to support coordination in one of the largest humanitarian crises of our time, the Syria crisis. Starting from general principles for humanitarian information management, we analyze the challenges that information managers face in conflict situations, when information is – more than anywhere else – a source of power and influence. This work outlines the interdependence of advocacy and operational information management, the sensitivity of information, and barriers to information sharing. The results are complex and highly interlaced information and coordination…
Use of health care services among Syrian refugees migrating to Norway: a prospective longitudinal study
2021
Abstract Background Understanding the differential utilization of healthcare services is essential to address the public health challenges. Through the migration process, refugees move from one set of health risk factors to another and can face multiple healthcare challenges along their journey. Yet how these changing risk factors influence refugees’ use of health care services is poorly understood. Methods A longitudinal survey assessing health care utilization of 353 adult Syrian refugees was conducted; first in a transit setting in Lebanon and after one year of resettlement in Norway. The main outcomes are the utilization of general practitioner services, emergency care, outpatient and/o…
Taksā d-h.usāyā. Sakramentalny obrzęd pokuty i pojednania w Asyryjskim Kościele Wschodu
2021
Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaznajomienie czytelnika z teologią sakramentu pokuty i pojednania w Asyryjskim Kościele Wschodu oraz z wykształconą w łonie tej wspólnoty liturgią jego celebracji zwaną „obrzędem pojednania” (taksā d-h.usāyā). Zaprezentowane badania przeprowadzone zostały w oparciu o syryjską tradycję patrystyczną oraz o najważniejsze źródło liturgiczne, jakim w tym wypadku jest obrzęd, którego redakcję przypisuje się katolikosowi Ishā'Yahbowi III (†659). Analiza obejmuje kolejno teologiczny obraz „odzienia chwały”, który tworzy łączność między sakramentem pokuty a chrztem, sens chrześcijańskiego nawrócenia oraz prezentację obrzędu wraz ze zwróceniem uwagi na jego osobliwośc…
Decolonial Thinking and Refugees’ Stories. The Queens of Syria Documentary (2014)
2019
As an important stimulus for the international mushrooming of artistic creativity in public spaces, counter narratives by displaced people are contributing to the reframing of the political and sociolinguistic contemporary framework, where migrant identities are fighting to gain a voice. A counter wave of audiovisual productions based on aesthetic discourse has emerged within territories that seem to be losing their humanity with respect to migration issues, and seem to publicly reinforce forms of spectacularisation. Against a backdrop of international political conflict, where migrants and dispossessed refugees are nameless and cannot speak, visual and performative arts have taken on a dec…
Tell Shiyukh Tahtani. New light on the Bronze Age sequence
2014
This report briefly describes the latest results of the Italian rescue excavations at Shiyukh Tahtani on the Upper Syrian Euphrates. Fieldwork continued on the eastern slope of the mound, aiming to further investigate the Bronze Age levels. A main operation, halfway down the slope, focused upon the earliest MB I layers, where a group of burials was unearthed, mostly consisting of adult interments in oval pits and child pot burials. A most striking finding was the ‘Spinstress tomb’. At the foot of the slope, the exploration of a mud-brick compound, dating back to the early third millennium BC, continued. Here further remarkable evidence of massive domestic architecture in a fine Mesopotamian…
Tell el-'Abd II. Pottery and Potmarks at an Early Urban Settlement of the Middle Euphrates River Valley, Syria. Final Reports of the Syrian-German ex…
2013
The monograph investigates the breakdown of the Uruk world-system towards the end of the 4th millennium BCE, and the roots of secondary state formation in the Middle Euphrates region through the analysis of continuity and change in the Early Bronze ceramic material from the site of Tell el-‘Abd (Tabqa Dam, Syria). This analysis fills a chronological gap for the early third millennium, a period poorly known in the district downstream from Carchemish. It further includes the study of over 1300 potter’s marks, thus offering new insight into the intra- and inter-site organization of pottery production and into a complex and variegated system of visual communication active at a regional level be…

Dwie wspólne deklaracje komisji dialogu katolicko-asyryjskiego. Status quaestionis i perspektywy
2018
Wspólna deklaracja chrystologiczna, którą 25 lat temu podpisał papież Jan Paweł II i patriarcha Asyryjskiego Kościoła Wschodu, Mar Dinkha IV, jest kamieniem milowym po okresie wspólnej stagnacji chrystologicznej, która trwała bezowocnie przez ostatnie kilkaset lat. Dokument zajmuje się tymi aspektami nauczania Kościoła o Chrystusie, które sprawiły, że Kościół asyryjski poszedł własną drogą po Soborze w Efezie (431). Warto zauważyć, że wiara, jaką wyznawali Asyryjczycy w odniesieniu do Wcielenia Syna Bożego, i relacji między dwiema Jego naturami, boską i ludzką, jest taka sama, jak nauczał ją Kościół od czasów Soboru w Chalcedonie (451).
