Abstract:
In this article, the notion of the secular is defended as a meaningful and relevant concept in order to determine the role of theological reasoning in the public sphere. For this purpose, in the first section, it is shown that John Duns Scotus already developed a provisional account of the secular and, moreover, provided it with a theological justification. The second section starts off with a brief sketch of the secular’s main characteristics as they can be deduced from Scotus’s account. Building on Thomas Pröpper, it is demonstrated how a transcendental analysis of freedom as the basic rationale of the secular brings to the fore a fundamental ethical principle as well as an idea of the secular’s ultimate destination. Theological reasoning in the public sphere or public theology, so it will be argued, aims primarily at making visible the ethical implications and the ultimate destination of the secular.

Abstract:
This essay criticizes two prevailing ways of thinking about the relationship between the secular and the religious—the way of enmity and the way of paradox—and affirms a third, more open-ended approach to the secular that looks to literature for what William Connolly calls “mundane transcendence.” The essay then shifts the focus of critical attention from the representation of religion in Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead and Orhan Pamuk’s Snow to their representation of “the secular.”

Abstract:
This essay argues that secular is an important keyword for Victorian studies because it foregrounds the particularity of universal concepts. Victorian narratives of secularization and colonial regimes of religious toleration can all be shown to have roots in the Protestant conception of religion as private individual belief and voluntary association. They therefore raise the question of how and whether such political conceptions might transcend their particularist origins. To make this point I begin by exploring the difference between secularism and secularization as critical terms. I then suggest how the recent wave of work on secularism has illuminated the link between the two—namely, by showing how attempts to imagine a secular world in fact depend upon specific ideas of what religion is and where it belongs.

Abstract:
This study describesB ible studies in one autonomousju nior high school (pupils aged 13 to 15) through an examination of the teaching/learning process, pupil achievement and the implementation of the Bible curriculum. Though Bible teaching in Israel has been the object of intensive discussion, the influence of teaching methods on pupils' attitudes and achievements has not, to date, been examined. The study reviews the changes in curriculum development in Israel, including the trend to autonomous schools and the way Bible studies have been taught, from before the establishment of the State of Israel and in the first three formative decades of statehood. The evolution of the various curricula are described, and the objectives of Bible teaching as they adapted to a changing student population and the different types of schools are discussed. The research questions which drove this study deal with the environment of Bible instruction, the statuso f instruction, pupils' achievementsin Bible studies and the relations betweent he conditions of instruction, the characteristicso f the teaching process and the learning products. The starting point of the study was the desire for change that stemmed from the unhappiness of pupils, teachers and external bodies (the educational authorities, parents, supervisors) with the level of Bible studies in one school. The study records events which took place when introducing change in modes of Bible instruction in ninth grade classes and teaching some classes frontally, some through CRA (Change, Reinforcement, Advancement) and some through the inquiry mode. The study was conducted using naturalistic research methods (observations and interviews) combined with quantitative instruments (tests and attitude questionnaires) that were statistically analysed. A nation-wide achievement test was given to all twelve classes studied, and the scores of pupils in the inquiry mode were found to be consistently higher than those of pupils in the other modes of instruction. The attitude of CRA pupils was more positive perhaps becausele arning was made easier for them by providing gradedt asks on three levels. In general, pupils expressed'a very negative attitude toward learning skills needed for Bible studies, and they felt that they were more beneficial than enjoyable. The teachers were generally optimistic in their assessment of the benefit of the learning strategies in the pupils' eyes, and in their beliefs on how much pupils enjoyed the strategies. The large gap that was found between pupils' reports and teachers' estimates shows that the teachers do not really know how their pupils feel about Bible studies. The major conclusion of the research is that the three modes of instruction should be combined in Bible teaching, not only for the sake of diversity but also because together they address the full range of skills needed by pupils studying the Bible. No single mode of instruction was shown to be the best. Teachers suggested that some topics are better taught in the inquiry or CRA modes and others are more suited to the frontal mode. It is hoped that the combination of modes will provide diversity for teachers and pupils alike, and make Bible studies more creative and motivating.

Jaffer, Sadaf. "Ismat Chughtai, Progressive Literature and Formations of the Indo-Muslim Secular, 1911-1991." Thesis, Harvard University, 2015. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:23845441.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the life, work, and contexts of noted Urdu writer and Indian cultural critic Ismat Chughtai (1911-1991). By engaging in readings of Chughtai’s texts and contexts, this dissertation presents the first study of its kind, examining Indian secular thought through the lens of an Urdu literary figure. As such, this dissertation offers new perspectives on intersections between popular culture and political and religious thought in modern India through the lens of a celebrated literary figure whose legacy continues to be invoked. I argue that, at its core, Chughtai’s critique of society hinged upon the equality (barābarī) of all Indians. The primacy of “humanity” (insāniyat) over other identities was the keystone of her formation of the secular, and has roots in a tradition that can be termed Islamicate humanism. In the first chapter, “Sacred Duty: Ismat Chughtai’s Cosmopolitan Justice between Islam and the Secular,” I argue that, by rejecting the inferior status of women within Muslim legal codes, Chughtai pursued what she saw as moral equality to a more radical degree than the postcolonial Indian state, which enshrined separate codes of personal law based on religious community. Ultimately, the secular ideals of equality, autonomy and human dignity were the mainstays of her thought, without regard to whether these were pursued through “Islamic” means. In the next chapter, “The Personal is Political: Economic and Sexual Progress in Modern India,” I argue that Chughtai, unlike other members of the Progressive Writers’ Movement, emphasized the link between hierarchical economic injustice and limitations on autonomous sexual choice. In the third chapter, “Reform, Education, and Woman as Subject,” I argue that in her writing, particularly the novel Ṭeṛhī Lakīr, Chughtai deployed narratives of education as foundational to the formation of an emancipated girl, one who liberates herself by rejecting the “old rules” (purānī qānūn). The fourth chapter, “The Many Lives of Urdu: Language, Progressive Literature and Nostalgia,” explores the fate of the Urdu language and Chughtai’s legacy in independent India. Ultimately, this project calls into question assumptions regarding what types of textual and human subjects are considered representatives of “Indo-Muslim Culture” in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Abstract:

This quantitative investigation focused on women high school principals at Jewish secular schools throughout Israel. Despite challenges, Israeli women have succeeded in obtaining over half of the principal positions at Jewish secular high schools, but the degree to which there is equal gender access to leadership roles in the school system remains unclear. This study examined whether there was clustering of women in high school principal positions in certain geographical areas, the process by which these women obtained principal positions, what obstacles the women overcame, and an analysis if respondents differed by district in terms of their career paths, career breaks, and military experiences. This study showed that although women are in principal positions in equal or greater numbers as men depending on the region, women had a different path than men to obtain this role. The key findings in this research were that 89.5% of women principals were able to return at the same level prior to taking a career break and that 31.8% of female principals had male mentors.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 208-219.
Religious apocalyptic literature appears to have been written in response to a situation of crisis in which the believers found themselves. It is the catalyst which provided the energy which the society needed in order to withstand that crisis, and it did this by radically inverting the dimensions which make up a worldview, that is the dimensions of time and space, and the classification of groups, so that it reflects the possibility of a new order, a new heaven and a new earth. Since the nineteenth century, the Western world has seen itself in a constant state of crisis in terms of the rapid secularisation, industrialisation and urbanisation, and it would seem that the notion of an apocalypse is still relevant. But religious visions of the apocalypse do not seem to have relevance to the largely secular society they would have been addressing. Something new, immediate and drastic was needed, which would supply the society with the energy to withstand the crisis of a secular world. Science fiction as a literary genre arose in the late nineteenth century, and it would seem as if the new social situation generated a new symbolic vocabulary for ancient apocalyptic themes, in other words, science fiction appeared as an imaginative literary genre of mythic, apocalyptic dimensions to address this situation. In the same way as religious visions of the apocalypse, science fiction inverts the components of a worldview so that a new social order, a new heaven and a new earth are seen as possible. In order to explore this theme, science fiction is examined in the light of radical inversion of accepted worldviews, and the genre is divided into three historical periods in order to understand the conditions under which it was written, as well as the content of the material involved. These periods are: 1. Apocalypses of Expectation and Hope. The late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century; the beginnings of the genre in the crisis of rapid industrialisation, secularisation and urbanisation, using the works of Jules Verne and H G Wells. 2. Apocalypses of Irony and Despair. The nineteen twenties to the end of the Second World War; the crises of the two World Wars on a complacent world, using the works of Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. 3. Apocalypses of Destruction and Redemption. The nineteen fifties to the present; the crisis of nuclear power and thinking machines, using the works of Frank Herbert and Isaac Asimov. Also examined are the quasi-religious nature of science fiction, apocalypse as a cleansing agent of the universe, and the myths of noble survivors of post-apocalyptic literature and films. In the light of the above, it can be understood why science fiction can be seen as the functional equivalent to religious apocalyptic myth, but relevant to the largely secular Western world of the twentieth century.

Brown, Caitlin Elizabeth. "Sources for the reevaluation of George Frederick Root's career| The autobiography & a secular cantata." Thesis, University of Maryland, College Park, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1543536.

Full text
Abstract:

Music scholarship has failed to fully assess the impact of the American composer George Frederick Root beyond his work in the church, classroom, and home. Most famous for composing "The Battle Cry of Freedom" and acting as music education pioneer Lowell Mason's associate, Root's other contributions to American music are often overlooked, particularly his body of secular cantatas for amateur choirs. This paper examines the commonly relayed biography of Root, Root's place in American historiography, and the advantages of examining his own autobiography. Finally, this paper presents a case study of The Haymakers and its possible place in future studies of Root. By better examining his career, we see that George Frederick Root was a typical nineteenth-century American man and that he was also a composer notable for his ability to serve the musical needs of his audience. Root pioneered large-scale choral works targeted at amateur performers with his secular cantatas and, consequently, served a wider swath of American performers and listeners.

Full text
Abstract:
Today, most Muslim-majority countries must contend with two realities: Islamists’ increasing access to political participation on the one hand and domestic and international pressures for women’s rights on the other. This dissertation seeks to identify the conditions necessary for resolving tensions between Islamist demands for political inclusion and secular feminists’ demands for the institutionalization of women’s rights in Muslim-majority countries. Attempts at gender reform have not only been rare, but have also usually excluded either secular feminists or Islamists due to state actors’ inability or unwillingness to resolve conflict between them. In some contexts, however, power holders have initiated inclusive consultative arrangements, mechanisms (commissions, committees, and mediation) that enable both secular feminists and Islamists to participate in gender policy-making processes, in spite of divergent ideological preferences, and thereby generated more broadly supported reforms. This dissertation argues that attempts at conflict resolution between secular feminists and Islamists are more likely to arise in the context of an autonomous state where the power holder needs the support of both groups. Such a state has both the flexibility and willingness to include both Islamists and secular feminists in the policy-making process. In states that do not enjoy autonomy from non-state actors, the state is less likely to have the flexibility to adopt policy-making processes that do not serve the politicized interests of dominant actors. I build this argument by conducting a comparative historical analysis of state development and relations among power holders, secular feminists, and Islamists, as well as drawing on interviews with politicians, bureaucrats, scholars, and activists in Morocco and Bangladesh. In both of these countries, secular feminists and Islamists have had antagonistic relations and ideological differences, but both groups participated in gender policy reform in Morocco, whereas in Bangladesh, multiple attempts at gender policy-making have excluded one group or the other. I then assess the extent to which an argument based on state autonomy and political alliances explains variation in the inclusiveness of gender policy-making processes in four other Muslim-majority countries (Jordan, Malaysia, Turkey, and Pakistan).

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an analysis and critique of contemporary research on secular pilgrimage. A trend of dedifferentiation between religious pilgrimage, secular pilgrimage and tourism is identified whereby contemporary academic literature is arguing for a broadening of the definition of pilgrimage to incorporate many disparate forms of travel and the multiple motivations that initiate these journeys. In this this thesis, I acknowledge and elaborate on the development that has occurred by which pilgrimage has expanded and fragmented into various forms, termed the "turn inward". What I am disagreeing with and critiquing is the paradigm shift towards dedifferentiation in contemporary academic research on secular pilgrimage. I use Jonathan Z. Smith to critique the comparativism evident in contemporary pilgrimage literature that focuses on similarities and neglects difference. In this thesis, I argue for a differentiation between religious pilgrimage, secular pilgrimage and tourism, as well as the validity of the concept secular pilgrimage, by looking at the foundational differences between the various phenomena. In order to support this argument, I explore various foundational differences between medieval religious pilgrimage and contemporary secular pilgrimage, while using theorists José Casanova and Charles Taylor and their theories of secularisation in order to bring in a philosophical account of meaning and access deep ontological differences in order to support my argument for the distinction between religious pilgrimage, secular pilgrimage and tourism. In order to focus the study, I use the Camino to Santiago as case study because of its Christian medieval origins as well as its current popularity amongst secular pilgrims.

Religion
Ph.D.
"Martyrdom and American Gay History: Secular Advocacy, Christian Ideas, and Gay Assimilation" is an analysis of gay martyr discourses from the 1970s through 2014. In particular, the dissertation examines the archives, narrative representations, memorials, and media depictions of Harvey Milk, Matthew Shepard, Tyler Clementi, and AIDS. The project's primary focus is to investigate the role of religious rhetoric in facilitating American gay assimilation. Discourses of gay martyrdom reveal that secular gay advocates habitually employed Protestant Christian ideas in order to present gay Americans as similar to the dominant culture of straight Christians, a strategy that became increasingly prevalent by the end of the twentieth century after gays were blamed for spreading a national plague through sexual licentiousness. In turn, discourses of gay martyrdom expose the recurrence of Christian ideas in promoting, while concurrently foreclosing, the parameters of gay social inclusion. "Martyrdom and American Gay History" also questions the politics of martyrdom and analyzes why some deaths have been mourned as national tragedies. Milk, Shepard, and Clementi, the three most commonly-invoked gay martyrs, represent a narrow fraction of gay Americans that only includes white, middle-class, gay men. The dissertation demonstrates that discourses of gay martyrdom have promoted assimilation, not diverse sexual freedoms or capacious possibilities for queer lives. Ultimately, Protestant Christian dominance in the United States has been obfuscated whenever Christianity has been depicted primarily as an antigay monolith. Discourses of gay martyrdom reveal the role of Protestant Christian dominance in secular gay advocacy, and the ways in which Christian ideas have shaped and foreclosed possibilities for acceptable gay American citizens.

Abstract:
Classical Cepheids are pulsating supergiants in the main instability strip. In the course of evolution, they move across theinstability strip, and their periods vary. Studying their period variations for a time span of several decades, it is possible todetermine the rate of secular period increase or decrease, identify the number of instability strip crossing, and thus improvethe period–luminosity relation. Special tests are used to determine whether the observed period variation is real or causedby random errors.

Abstract:
In products designed for human variability, the anthropometry (body measurements) of the target user population constitutes a primary source of variability that must be considered in the optimization of the spatial dimensions of the product. Accommodation, which describes the ability of a user to interact with a device or environment in their preferred manner, is a key measure of its performance. Other studies have considered various methods for accounting for the variability in anthropometry in a target user population to calculate estimated accommodation, but few have explicitly considered the effects of secular trends and demographic changes over time. This paper considers these changes in the context of a case study involving truck drivers and cab geometry. The truck driver populations are used to illustrate changes in body size and shape over a 30-year period and show how they affect user acceptability of designs. Changes in the gender split of the driver population are also considered, and are shown to have a significant effect on accommodation. The work demonstrates that secular trends and demographic changes over time significantly affect accommodation, but a well designed product will be more robust to these changes.

Abstract:
The article provides an insight into methodological approaches and research questions in early modern studies of female patronage, relevant to the visual representation of a young mother-widow from Inner Austria. Maria Juliana Countess Vetter von der Lilie (1672–1708) inherited the Castle of Slovenska Bistrica in Styria (Slovenia) after husband’s death in 1695. Although the Castle was redecorated after 1717 by Ignaz Maria Count Attems, the uncle of the deceased, several spaces can still be linked to the women’s patronage. A biblical quotation on the main portal announces that a wise woman built her house, a fresco on the first floor depicts the Allegory of Mother Earth, and Vischer’s print of the garden and the ceiling painting of the pharmacy also show themes often related to women. Maria Juliana Vetter is a prominent secular nobelwoman who has emerged from her husband’s shadow and from oblivion in the under-researched field of female patronage in Central Europe.

Abstract:
Abstract: This paper seeks to demonstrate that Le Corbusier's autodidactic agenda between 1908 and 1911 reflects a consistent philosophical reasoning based on the philosophical tradition of German idealism. The vehicle of analysis is the connection between Édouard Schuré's 'Sanctuaires d'Orient', a book Le Corbusier read in 1908, and three key episodes of the subsequent period of travel. Schuré's book provides us with the philosophical framework to which he was exposed. The three episodes, in turn, are taken as case studies in order to demonstrate the correlation between the philosophical background of the book and Le Corbusier's changing attitudes during this period. The terms of this correlation are based on an evolutionary conception of history and can be synthesized as the belief in cultural progress, leading to a new society built upon the unity of science, religion and art, in a secular-sacred life attained through the recovery of a pantheistic existence, and in art and architecture as a means to an epistemological experience. I will lastly argue that this creates the basis for the lifelong influence of idealism in Le Corbusier's work and thought. Keywords: Le Corbusier's Education; Schuré; German Idealism; Romanticism.

Abstract:
Introduction: The use of corticosteroids, especially dexamethasone, for the treatment of Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH), is a secular conduct protocol. However, recent studies contradict this recommendation in some points. Objectives: To score the use of dexamethasone in patients with Chronic Subdural Hematoma. Methodology: Literature review, based on PubMed database using the descriptors “Desamethasone”, “Chronic Subdural Hematoma” and “Treatment”, using a time filter from the years 2020-2021. Results: In a study with 443 neurosurgeons, 26.2% of respondents estimate that corticosteroids are highly effective in CSDH, with 46.2% using dexamethasone as monotherapy in conservative treatment. According to a randomized study conducted by The New England Journal, 375 people diagnosed with CSDH were treated with dexamethasone while 373 received the placebo, where 94% had undergone surgical treatment previously. At the end of the study, only 680 candidate patients continued to be analyzed, of which a favorable outcome was seen in 286 of 341 (83.9%) in the dexamethasone group and in 306 of 339 patients (90.30) in the placebo group, where there is a difference of 6.4 percentage points in favor of the placebo. In addition, in the same study, more adverse effects occurred in the dexamethasone group, however, 1.7% of the patients in this group needed surgery for hematoma recurrence compared to 7.1% in the group that used the placebo. Conclusion: It is possible to say that treatment with dexamethasone caused more adverse effects and resulted in less favorable outcomes, however, the recurrence for the number of surgeries was lower.

Urban form in special geographical conditions: a case study in Kenting National Park. Chih-Hung Chen¹, Chun-Ya Chuang¹ ¹Department of Urban Planning, National Cheng Kung University E-mail: chihhungchen@mail.ncku.edu.tw Keywords: Kenting National Park, special geographical conditions, Historico-Geographical approach, morphotope Conference topics and scale: City transformations Since the land surface is heterogeneous, the natural landscape as an essential element in contemporary morphological studies becomes the initial factor in the formation of a settlement. Moreover, the interaction with natural landscape, built form and the boundary matrix can illuminate ecological perspective on the form of the city. (Scheer, 2016) To understand the urban form under special geographical conditions, a case study is conducted in Kenting National Park, which is a tropical area with rich landscape such as moutains, lakes and rivers, plains, basins, and surrounded by seas. An analytical approach based on Historico-Geographical approach (Kropf, 2009; Oliveira, 2016) is applied in this paper. After identifying the scope of 42 settlements, there are three outer shape types such as compact, scattered, linear. Then, three kinds of morphotopes (Conzen, 1988) can mainly be figured out by comparing the combination between streets, buildings and plots: i) Detached, duplex houses on small plots along the access road; ii) Attached buildings on small plots along the main road; iii) Villas or hotels on large plots along the main road. Finally, the relationship between the larger plan units (Conzen, 1960) and the geographical conditions shows that the homogeneous configuration of plan units corresponds to the certain landscape. On the other hand, this article seeks to find out the impacts and changes caused by special geographical conditions in consequence of the landscape affects not only the formation of urban form but the evolution because its influence on socio-economic conditions.

Abstract:
The most reliable method for estimating the rate of mass-loss by the Wolf–Rayet stars wind is based on the assessment of secular variations in the orbital periods for close binary systems containing such stars, most often WR+OB systems. Previously, almost only photometric observations of well-studied eclipsing close WR+OB binaries were used for these purposes. This report describes the results of the work on the search for mass-loss-induced evolutionary variations in the orbital period for close WR+OB binaries and the mass-loss rates measurements for WR stars in these systems. Orbital period variations were detected in five systems studied: V444 Cyg, CQ Cep, CX Cep, WR 127 (Hen 3-1772), and WR 141 (V2183 Cyg). In addition, phase deviations between the radial velocity curves obtained at different epochs are suspected for the A pair of the GP Cep quadruple system. For eclipsing systems, estimates of the rate of change of the orbital period from the radial velocity curves are in good agreement with the corresponding estimates obtained from the light curves. A secular shortening of the orbital period has been confirmed for the CQ Cep system, which can be explained by the high degree of closeness of this system and the associated mass transfer processes. For the WR 127 and WR 141 systems, dynamic estimates of the change of the orbital period and the rate of mass loss have been obtained for the first time. Estimates of the rate of mass-loss by Wolf-Rayet stars show a power-law dependence on the mass of the star with an exponent of about 2. The effect of the finite size of stars, which turns out to be significant for estimates of the rate of mass loss to the wind in the closest systems, is discussed.

Abstract:
The work is devoted to the development of efficient parallel algorithms for the computation of large-scale basins of attraction. Since the required computational resources increase exponentially with the dimension of a dynamical system, it is common to get into memory saturation or in a secular elaboration time. This paper presents a code, based on a cell mapping method, that evaluates basins of attraction for high-dimensional systems by exploiting the parallel programming. The proposed approach, by using a double-step algorithm, permits, i) to fully determine the basins in all the dimensions ii) to evaluate 2D Poincaré sections of the system. The code is described in all its parts: the shell, in charge of the core management, permits to split over a multi-core environment the computing domain, it carries out an efficient use of the memory. A preliminary analysis of the performances is undertaken also by considering different dimensional grids; the optimal balance between computing cores and memory management cores is studied.

Abstract:
The 15th session of the European Center for Populism Studies’ (ECPS) “Mapping Global Populism” panel series, aimed at creating a comprehensive understanding of populism worldwide, was held online on September 26, 2024. Titled “Theocracy, Radicalism, and Islamist/Secular Populism in Iran, Afghanistan & Tajikistan,” the session featured insights from distinguished scholars on various manifestations of authoritarianism, extremism, and populism in these countries. This report provides an overview of the topics analyzed, with detailed accounts of each speaker’s contributions. The panel was moderated by Dr. Simon P Watmough, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leipzig and a non-resident research fellow in ECPS’ research program on authoritarianism. Dr. Hélène Thibault, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Nazarbayev University, illustrated the authoritarian nature of Tajikistan’s anti-extremism policies. Dr. Zakia Adeli, former Deputy Minister of Justice of Afghanistan and a professor at Kabul University (2018–2021), explored the Taliban regime’s government structure and impositions in Afghanistan. Dr. Zahoor Ahmad Wani, Assistant Professor in Political Science at Lovely Professional University, focused his presentation on gender issues under Taliban rule. Finally, Amir Hossein Mahdavi, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Connecticut, discussed the potential rise of populist actors in Iran. Originally, Dr. Kathleen Collins, a Professor in the Department of Political Science and a faculty affiliate in Islamic Studies at the University of Minnesota, was scheduled to present on “Radical Islamism vs. Extremist Secular State in Tajikistan.” However, due to her absence, Dr. Thibault covered several key aspects of her colleague’s presentation during the session.
