Gen(de)red power : the power of genre in the debate about women’s roles in the Pastoral Letters and the Acts of Paul

Two texts that contributed to the discussion on gender roles in formative Christianity, 1 Timothy and the Acts of Paul, are investigated. In both cases the emphasis is on the much-disputed role of women. Power plays a role on different levels. On the one hand power relations between the sexes are depicted or directly addressed by the text (‘gendered’ power), while on the other hand the power of persuasion is brought to bear on both male and female readers to legitimize the patriarchal, videlicet the encratitic model of gender. This is done by rhetorical means that are text-specific, but also make use of genre-specific persuasion strategies. This ‘genred power’ is still mostly unchartered territory in exegetical discussions and is therefore the focus of my investigation. Especially important in both genres are intertextual allusions to authoritative texts. Fictive self-references which enable the author (’Paul’) to correct himself are one focus of interest. Narrative strategies (i.e. character and plot development) which also have an intertextual dimension are a second focal point. The take-over of the role of Peter who denies Jesus and repents by Paul in the Acts of Thecla turns out to be of major rhetorical significance.This article was initially presented at the NavNUT Conference ‘Mag in die Nuwe Testament’, 16–19 January 2011 at the University of Stellenbosch.http://www.hts.org.zanf201

Kerk en slavernij in het Nederlandse koloniale rijk

“Mijn vader was dood en ik was slaaf geworden. […] Vreeselijk is het gevangen genomen te worden, slaaf te zijn. […] Ik moest mede naar de tuinen om te arbeiden, mijn meester helpen bij de vischvangst. Dat alles was te dragen, maar telkens het woord slaaf te hooren, dat was voor mij, een vrijgeborene, de grootste ellende. God heeft deze dingen ten goede gekeerd. Ik ben nu niet meer boos op de menschen van Koredo; weet gij wat ik het liefst wilde? Onder hen, de vrijen en de slaven, vertellen hoe lief God de menschen heeft.” (Van der Roest, 1920

Clinical standards in angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries: a clinician and patient consensus document

Patients with angina and non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) or myocardial ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) comprise a relatively large subgroup within those with ischaemic heart disease. Advances in the understanding of disease mechanisms, diagnostic tests and multidisciplinary care are improving awareness of the needs of affected individuals. However, practice variations and suboptimal management promulgate the health burden and increase health care resource consumption. Clinical standards represent a limited number of quality statements that describe the care patients should be offered by health professionals and providers for a specific clinical condition or defined clinical pathway in line with current best evidence. Clinical standards should address implementation of this evidence along with education of patients and healthcare professionals, multidisciplinary care networks, and research. In this consensus statement, we highlight contemporary evidence and stakeholder views, including clinicians and patients, to provide an international perspective for developing clinical standards for services involving ANOCA/INOCA patients. A clinical service for ANOCA/INOCA should “consider the whole patient” and provide a multidisciplinary, patient-centred service

Roadmap on Data-Centric Materials Science

Science is and always has been based on data, but the terms "data-centric" and the "4th paradigm of" materials research indicate a radical change in how information is retrieved, handled and research is performed. It signifies a transformative shift towards managing vast data collections, digital repositories, and innovative data analytics methods. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its subset Machine Learning (ML), has become pivotal in addressing all these challenges. This Roadmap on Data-Centric Materials Science explores fundamental concepts and methodologies, illustrating diverse applications in electronic-structure theory, soft matter theory, microstructure research, and experimental techniques like photoemission, atom probe tomography, and electron microscopy. While the roadmap delves into specific areas within the broad interdisciplinary field of materials science, the provided examples elucidate key concepts applicable to a wider range of topics. The discussed instances offer insights into addressing the multifaceted challenges encountered in contemporary materials research.Comment: Review, outlook, roadmap, perspectiv
