Identifying and implementing the theology of the domestic church

This project explores the development of the theology of the domestic church and how it can be implemented in Catholic families. It investigates the origin of the phrase domestic church, traces its development over centuries, and considers the implications this has on the Church and families. The overall objective of this project is to inquire into the significance of this term and identify the principles that ought to be incorporated in a practical resource for families. The project begins with a comprehensive analysis of the origins of the term domestic church, and how it developed over time. It investigates why this phrase was revived during the Second Vatican Council, after lying dormant for several centuries, and how it developed in the intervening years since the Council. The reintroduction of the term domestic church sparked a renewed interest in the role of the family, and this project takes the view that further developments in this area of theology still remain if we are to understand and support families in their plight to educate children in faith. Chapter One traces the origin of the domestic church, beginning with its emergence in the Old Testament. It explores the scriptural and patristic teachings of the family through the lens of Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Augustine. What emerges is an integrated understanding of the family, which recognises this cell not just as a series of relationships originating in the procreative love of spouses, but also as the primary place of education in faith. Chapter Two investigates how and why the idea of the domestic church was recovered during the Second Vatican Council. With an analysis of the contributions made by the pivotal figure, Bishop Pietro Fiordelli, it explores the implications of the Ressourcement of this patristic term. This chapter is followed by an outline of Conciliar and post-Conciliar magisterial documents, which furthered the revival of the theology of the domestic church. Chapter Three also takes a more practical focus, considering the initiatives and projects that were suggested by Pope John Paul II to provide concrete support to families in their mission to educate. Chapter Four then investigates how the post-Conciliar doctrines and suggestions of the Ressourcement have been received and applied. Through an analysis of various initiatives on a diocesan and local level, what begins to emerge is a disparity between doctrine and application. This chapter considers the work and contributions of several key figures, namely Bishop Samuel Aquila, Gerard O’Shea, and Joseph Atkinson. The final chapter extends this investigation, exploring the future direction of the post-Conciliar doctrines. It discusses the current theology of the family, through a Trinitarian-Christocentric lens, and how this can be developed in order to bridge the gap between doctrine and application. This discussion reveals the need to delve deeper into the theology of the domestic church and consider practical ways to provide support for families. The second part of this project is an intervention program, which applies the research from this thesis into a practical handbook. It is intended to provide parents with the necessary content and tools that will support them in their mission as primary educators, and ultimately assist them in forming their own domestic church

NoOps – A Multivocal literature review

Traditionally, an organization had to have in-house servers and hardware to build a web application. This evolved into Cloud computing where the possibility for cost reduction and scalable data storage became a reality. With the introduction of cloud computing came a concept known as NoOps, or No Operations. This paper aims to take a closer look into what NoOps is and the benefits and challenges of NoOps. The authors identified three RQs that could help to give more insight into NoOps. Further we discussed the findings and RQs and lay out the way forward for future studies into NoOps. We also looked at artificial intelligence (AI) and how AI seems to be heavily linked with a true NoOps environment. With the lack of scientific studies into NoOps, a Multivocal literature review was selected as the method used to investigate the concept and its implications. We try to show voices both for and against NoOps. Further, we try to look at a misconception of what NoOps really is, what true NoOps could be. Finally we look at what requirements there are for companies wanting to go NoOps, and discuss the possibility that many companies unknowingly are moving towards a NoOps environment.publishedVersio

Ability of Dental Students to Deliver Oxygen in a Medical Emergency

This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of dental students to administer emergency oxygen to a patient during a simulated emergency. Forty third‐year (D3) and fourth‐year (D4) dental students were recruited and asked to demonstrate their ability in managing a simulated angina attack. Students were tested on their knowledge related to emergency medical protocols, the time taken to obtain oxygen, and operation of the oxygen equipment. Of the subjects tested, 68 percent independently identified the need for oxygen and the correct location of the equipment in the dental school. Only 15 percent of the students completed the experiment within a predetermined optimal time frame, and 50 percent of all students did not successfully operate the tank regulator to administer oxygen correctly. Although most participants in the study were able to verbalize the proper protocol for managing medical emergencies, the chairside execution in this situation demonstrates room for improvement. Incorporation of periodic simulation exercises, in addition to classroom education, is likely to improve the ability of dental students to manage medical emergencies.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/153567/1/jddj002203372009734tb04721x.pd

Health Care Providers' Advice on Lifestyle Modification in the US Population: Results from the NHANES 2011-2016

OBJECTIVE: Healthcare providers are encouraged to prescribe lifestyle modifications for preventing and managing obesity and associated chronic conditions. However, the pattern of lifestyle advice provision is unknown. We investigate the prevalence of advised lifestyle modification according to weight status and chronic conditions in a US nationally representative sample. METHODS: Adults 20-64 years (n=11,467) from National Health and Nutrition Examination Study between 2011 and 2016 were analyzed, with weight status, and chronic conditions (high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, osteoarthritis, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus). Lifestyle modification advice by healthcare providers included increase physical activity/exercise, reduce dietary fat/calories, control/lose weight, and all of above. RESULTS: High blood pressure (32.7%) and cholesterol (29.3%) were highly prevalent compared to osteoarthritis (7.4%), type 2 diabetes (5.7%) and coronary heart disease (3.7%). Those with type 2 diabetes received considerably frequent advice (56.5%; 95%CI: 52.4%-60.6%) than those with high blood pressure (31.4%; 95%CI:29.3%-33.6%) and cholesterol (27.0%; 95%CI:24.9%-29.3%). Prevalence of lifestyle advice exhibited substantial increases with graded BMI and comorbidity (all P<0.001). After adjusting for comorbid conditions, advice were more commonly reported among women, those overweight/obese, non-white, or insured. Remarkably low proportion of overweight (21.4: 95%CI: 18.7-24.3%) and obese (44.2%;95%CI:41.0%-47.4%) adults free of chronic conditions reported receiving any lifestyle advice. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of lifestyle modification advised by healthcare providers is generally low among US adults with chronic conditions, and worryingly low among those without chronic conditions however overweight or obese. Prescribed lifestyle modification is a missing opportunity in implementing sustainably strategies reducing chronic condition burden

Leisure-Time Sedentary Behavior, Alcohol Consumption, and Sexual Intercourse Among Adolescents Aged 12-15 Years in 19 Countries From Africa, the Americas, and Asia

BACKGROUND: The association between sedentary behavior and sexual behavior has not been investigated among adolescents. // AIM: The aim of this study was to: (i) investigate the association between leisure-time sedentary behavior and sexual intercourse, and (ii) test for mediation by alcohol consumption, drug use, physical activity, bullying victimization, parental support/ monitoring, loneliness, and depressive symptoms in a large global sample of young adolescents. // METHODS: Data were analyzed from 34,674 adolescents aged 12-15 years participating in the Global School-based Student Health Survey. Participants reported the number of hours spent in leisure-time sedentary behavior on a typical day (8 hours). Data on alcohol consumption, drug use, physical activity, bullying victimization, parental support/monitoring, loneliness, and depressive symptoms were considered as potential mediators. // OUTCOME: Participants reported whether or not they had sexual intercourse in the past 12 months (yes/no). // RESULTS: The prevalence of past 12-month sexual intercourse was 11.9%, whereas the prevalence of 8 hours per day of leisure-time sedentary behavior were 26.7%, 35.6%, 21.4%, 11.5%, and 4.9%, respectively. There was a dose-dependent relationship between sedentary behavior and odds of reporting sexual intercourse: compared with 8 hours/day of sedentary behavior were 1.12 (0.94-1.33), 1.22 (1.01-1.48), 1.34 (1.08-1.66), and 1.76 (1.37-2.27), respectively. There was no significant interaction by sex. The largest proportion of the association between sedentary behavior and sexual intercourse was explained by alcohol use (% mediated 21.2%), with other factors explaining an additional 11.2%. // CLINICAL TRANSLATION: Interventions to reduce leisure-time sedentary and/or alcohol consumption may contribute to a reduction in the proportion of adolescents engaging in sexual intercourse at a young age. The strengths and limitations of this study are the large, representative sample of adolescents from 19 countries. However, the cross-sectional design means causality or temporal associations could not be established. // CONCLUSIONS: In young adolescents, leisure-time sedentary behavior is positively associated with odds of having sexual intercourse in both boys and girls, in a dose-dependent manner. Alcohol consumption seems to be a key mediator of this relationship
