We are Kamea Christians Not Because We Sing Like Berrien Springs Christians: Towards a Methodology of Developing a Biblical Theology in Context

This paper attempts to demonstrate a methodological approach to doing theology in context. A lot of homogenizations of Western Christianity have very much impacted the way we do church in Melanesia (Pacific Islands). This trend motivated me to ride on the wave of Melanesian thinkers to make theology relevant in the Melanesian context. Title: Explorin

O impacto da toxicodependência na saúde oral

A toxicodependência é um problema de saúde pública acerca do qual todo Médico Dentista deve ter conhecimento, dada a sua incidência e impacto na saúde oral. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada recorrendo-se ao motor de busca “MEDLINE/Pubmed”, utilizando-se os seguintes termos do MeSH: “toxicodependência”, “abuso de drogas”, “cannabis”, “cocaína”, “ecstasy”, “heroína” e “oral health”. Foram considerados estudos publicados entre 1987 e 2017 em Português, Francês e Inglês. Os artigos que não possuíam informação consoante estes critérios foram excluídos. Para cada uma das drogas estudadas, os efeitos gerais da droga sobre a saúde geral serão apresentados, e os efeitos que se manifestam sobre a saúde oral serão analisados e aprofundados. Esta pesquisa relaciona os desafios do diagnóstico face aos múltiplos efeitos das drogas no organismo e demonstra que este problema tem vindo a ser subestimado, sendo portanto urgente informar os Médicos Dentistas sobre a incidência, sinais e sintomas e modo de intervenção das drogas ditas ilícitas, uma vez que o confronto com o problema poderá acontecer passando despercebido caso não exista conhecimento dele.Drug addiction is a public health issue about which every Dentist should be aware of, considering its incidence and impact on oral health. The bibliographical research was concluded by means of “MEDLINE/Pubmed” research tool. The following MeSh terms were searched: “drug addiction”, “drug abuse”, “cannabis”, “cocaine”, “ecstasy”, “heroin” and “oral health”. Studies published between 1987 and 2017 in Portuguese, French and English under those terms were considered. The articles that did not match those criteria were excluded. For each of the drugs studied, the general effects were presented, and specifically the effects on oral health were analyzed more thoroughly. The present research connects the challenges of diagnosis considering the multiple effects of drugs on the body and demonstrates that the issue has been underestimated, being therefore urgent to inform Dentists about the incidence, signals and symptoms and mean of intervention of illegal drugs, considering that the problem may go unnoticed if there is not knowledge about it

Corticotomias alveolares no tratamento ortodôntico: revisão narrativa

Geralmente, é importante para todos os pacientes, em particular para os adultos, de reduzir o tempo de tratamento ortodôntico. As corticotomias alveolares são definidas como uma lesão cirúrgica controlada do osso cortical para induzir uma aceleração localizada da remodelação óssea. As vantagens das corticotomias são a redução do tempo de tratamento e do risco de reabsorção radicular. A possibilidade de realizar este procedimento pode ser limitada pelas condições anatómicas e é essencial uma cuidadosa avaliação pré-operatória. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com base em pesquisa bibliográfica de dados Pubmed e ResearchGate, assim como em livros e trabalhos académicos. O objectivo deste artigo é realizar um estudo da literatura recente sobre a evolução dos conhecimentos relativos às corticotomias alveolares e apresentar as diferentes abordagens cirúrgicas possíveis.Generally, it is important for all patients, particularly adults, to reduce orthodontic treatment time. Alveolar corticotomies are defined as a controlled surgical injury to the cortical bone to induce a localized acceleration of bone remodeling. The advantages of corticotomies are the reduction in treatment time and the risk of root resorption. The possibility of performing this procedure may be limited by anatomical conditions and careful preoperative evaluation is essential. This work was developed based on a literature search on Pubmed and ResearchGate data, as well as books and academic papers. The aim of this article is to conduct a study of recent literature on the evolution of knowledge regarding alveolar corticotomies and to present the different possible surgical approaches

Monetary Policy and Polish Labour Market in the years 1999 - 2008

This article sets out to analyse how the monetary policy pursued by the National Bank of Poland (NBP) determined the labour market situation in the country in the decade 1999-2008. The article consists of introduction as well as five sections. Section one discusses NBP's strategy of monetary policy in the defined period against monetary strategies implemented in other countries. Section two uses the growth rates of money supply and of real GDP to verify whether the primary purpose of monetary policy, i.e. the inflationary target, was achieved. Section three generally characterises the country's labour market using the levels and dynamics of employment and of unemployment. Section four discusses major instruments of NBP's monetary policy, mainly analysing changes in the central bank's interest rates and their effect on the economic situation and on the labour market. The article concludes with a summation providing synthetic conclusions.Celem artykułu jest analiza wpływu polityki monetarnej Narodowego Banku Polskiego (NBP) na sytuację na rynku pracy w Polsce w ciągu dekady obejmującej lata 1999-2008.

Całość zamknięta została podsumowaniem, w którym zawarto syntetyczne wnioski końcowe

Learning to Believe in Papua New Guinea

This chapter examines how witchcraft and sorcery beliefs are reproduced among the educated working and middle classes in Papua New Guinea. In a context where tertiary schooling is accessible only to a tiny segment of the population, many educated people in PNG feel anxious about their social position and worry that their upward mobility will provoke envy and resentment in the less fortunate. This anxiety is projected most strongly onto the “ples lain” or rural population, who are thought to maintain many traditional practices, including witchcraft and sorcery. Drawing on ethnographic research among nursing students in the Eastern Highlands, I examine the ways that class identity and Pentecostal social forms coalesce, giving students resources for narrating, understanding, and resisting the dangers they face as social outsiders and (future) employees of a neglectful state. Looking specifically at events during a nursing practicum in rural Eastern Highlands Province, I describe how students and their teachers collapsed different forms of invisible violence—both traditional and contemporary—into a generic evil to be discerned and resisted. Following Robbins (2009) I argue that witchcraft talk is exceptionally socially productive—in this case, productive of a distinctly Christian, professional class identity in which the problems created by “the villagers” and “pasin tumbuna” (ancestral practices) are objects of profound concern.falseAccepte

Towards a Biblical Theology of Gutpela Sindaun in the Kamea Context

In this dissertation I matched gutpela sindaun, the ‘highest value’ in Melanesia, represented by the cognitive schema of Kamea people through their brand, with the Biblical schema of shalom. The purpose of my dissertation was to show how a Kamea understanding of gutpela sindaun enables them to appreciate Biblical shalom. I used cognitive studies as it pertains to valuing a perspective of human wellbeing which is all about gutpela sindaun. I did a literature search to understand the schema of gutpela sindaun from a Melanesian perspective. This relates to a scriptural presentation of shalom using the analogy of a tree, which I call Shalom Tree. Understanding ‘human wellbeing’ from the Melanesian world and the Hebraic world helped me to enter the Kamea world to identify their brand of gutpela sindaun (which is yapmea awarmangardi) and helped them make adjustments only as the Biblical input challenges their understanding. Using ethnographic methods, I had my participants discuss their experiences and then used that to derive their cognitive schema which, in turn, reveals their “understanding” about what they had to know in order to manifest/experience gutpela sindaun appropriate to their cultural expectations. Applying Grounded Theory in my data analysis, assisted me to present their brand of gutpela sindaun through the analogy of the Kamea creation tree, which I called the Haogka Code Tree. Guided by the principles of Cognitive Theory, I then assisted I my participants to match shalom tree, what God’s view is of shalom (intent) with the haogka code tree, how they understand gutpela sindaun in light their understanding of shalom (inferences). What emerges from this exercise is their development of a hybrid schema, a new hybrid tree which I called the Kamea Kristen Tree. I have done this dissertation from a methodological perspective that helps me understand the cognition of the Kamea group of people in respect to this topic. I am developing a methodology of helping Kamea people develop their own theology. This methodology can be used for other people groups in Melanesia to research Christian truths dynamically informed by cultural insights
