In this article, I approach the issue of stereotyping on two levels. First, methodologically, by revisiting the somewhat classical discussion on the sources of theology, discussing methods of correlation in the theologies of Paul Tillich and David Tracy, and arguing that acknowledging other religious traditions as sources of Christian theology can actually work as an antidote to theological stereo
The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare some of the popular, and yet marginalized apocalyptic narratives in contemporary Muslim and Christian thought. Obviously, the two traditions have many things in common and yet there is an apparent antagonism between them. In order to further investigate into the tensions between Muslim and Christian apocalypticism, this article will focus on ho
By relying on longitudinal data on two rural parishes in the Russian Baltic province of Livland, the article analyses two questions concerning famine's short-run effects on mortality in a manorial system: (1) whether there is evidence of a social gradient in mortality during the famine of 1844–6 and (2) whether the manors could protect the peasants against the hardships. The analysis reveals that
Carbohydrate active enzymes are valuable tools in cereal processing to valorise underutilized side streams. By solubilizing hemicellulose and modifying the fibre structure, novel food products with increased nutritional value can be created. In this study, a novel GH5_34 subfamily arabinoxylanase from Herbinix hemicellulosilytica, HhXyn5A, was identified, produced and extensively characterized
Audiobooks have in recent years become widely popular. The format accordingly impacts how many contemporary readers use and experience literature. The article examines this tendency, departing from Rita Felski’s theoretical conceptualizations of uses of literature (Felski 2008). Felski represents a new attention within literary studies toward the ways in which so-called lay readers use, experience
Transportation should become sustainable and available to everyone. Currently, transportation accounts for approx. one sixth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally, and heavy-duty trucks are responsible for almost 30% of that. When fossil diesel fuel is burned in a compression ignition engine, known as a diesel engine, it releases large amounts of CO2, a GHG, into the air. GHGs confine heat in
