So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, but not goodbye

This is my “so long, farewell, au Wiedersehen, but not goodbye” editorial letter to you, our authors and readers of the Malawi Medical Journal (MMJ). In July 2016, I assumed the role of the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the MMJ, Malawi’s only medical journal and, if you do not already know, one of the leading medical journals in sub-Saharan Africa. Just to put it into perspective for you, in 2016, the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) placed the MMJ in 4th position in Africa for journals that publish in the field of medicine

The Lord\u27s Banquet: Resources, Problems and Perspectives from the New Testament

(Excerpt) The New Testament provides the fundamental basis for the church\u27s celebration of the Lord\u27s Supper and, at the same time, the major source from which to critique aspects of the church\u27s Eucharistic practice today. It is important to hear the New Testament as carefully as possible, in all its variety, in order to understand the New Testament elements that go to make up contemporary Eucharistic practice and theology. In what I do today I will carry out my role as a New Testament scholar: to hear the New Testament in all its variety and diversity as an aid in understanding the earliest church and as a guide to appropriating that diversity today

Surface changes in the eastern Labrador Sea around the onset of the Little Ice Age

Despite the relative climate stability of the present interglacial, it has been punctuated by several centennial-scale climatic oscillations; the latest of which are often colloquially referred to as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). The most favored explanation for the cause of these anomalies is that they were triggered by variability in solar irradiance and/or volcanic activity and amplified by ocean-atmosphere-sea ice feedbacks. As such, changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are widely believed to have been involved in the amplification of such climatic oscillations. The Labrador Sea is a key area of deep water formation. The waters produced here contribute approximately one third of the volume transport of the deep limb of the AMOC and drive changes in the North Atlantic surface hydrography and subpolar gyre circulation. In this study, we present multiproxy reconstructions from a high-resolution marine sediment core located south of Greenland that suggest an increase in the influence of polar waters reaching the Labrador Sea close to MCA-LIA transition. Changes in freshwater forcing may have reduced the formation of Labrador Sea Water and contributed toward the onset of the LIA cooling. © 2014. The Authors
