Information And Communication Technology Use Capacity Within Extension Networks: Development And Preliminary Validation Of An Empirical Scale, Kevan W. Lamm, Kristin Davis, Catherine E. Sanders, Alyssa Powell
Information And Communication Technology Use Capacity Within Extension Networks: Development And Preliminary Validation Of An Empirical Scale, Kevan W. Lamm, Kristin Davis, Catherine E. Sanders, Alyssa Powell
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Advancing information and communication technologies (ICTs) has become central to international agricultural and extension development efforts. ICTs are crucial in facilitating information transfer, ensuring stakeholder access to information, and increasing the decision-making capacity of smallholder farmers. The research presented here introduces an instrument developed to quantify perceptions of ICT use capacity within international extension networks. The aggregate scale was verified for content validity, response process validity, internal structure validity, and consequential validity informing its use. The instrument was administered to network members (n = 122) associated with the Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was …
Christian-Hindu Dialogue And The Charism Of Unity: An Introduction, Cherylanne Menezes
Christian-Hindu Dialogue And The Charism Of Unity: An Introduction, Cherylanne Menezes
Claritas: Journal of Dialogue and Culture
This article provides an historical introduction to Chiara Lubich and the Focolare Movement’s work in interreligious dialogue with special attention to the Christian-Hindu dialogue. It introduces the various personalities and encounters, but also the spirit which informs this unique experience of dialogue. It makes particular use of Chiara Lubich’s diary entries in which she recounts her own discovery of dialogue as “one of the most beautiful expressions of love”. It introduces the reader to the innovative and fruitful experience of the Christian-Hindu symposiums organized between Hindu scholars and scholars associated with the Focolare Movement.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has the potential to address critical considerations within rural advisory service (RAS) networks, specifically, getting the right information to audiences in a timely and appropriate manner. ICTs are technologies that facilitate knowledge and information sharing. For RAS networks, ICTs can be an important tool to ensure that both explicit and tacit information is shared with network members with the anticipated benefit of increased capacity of the network. Although the importance of ICTs are well documented within the literature, there are limited guidelines for what specific network capacities in ICT use are needed to better provide …

Is God Good? Aquinas, Śamkara, Abhinavagupta, Balinese Śaivism, And The Problematics Of The Argument From Evil, Lance E. Nelson
Is God Good? Aquinas, Śamkara, Abhinavagupta, Balinese Śaivism, And The Problematics Of The Argument From Evil, Lance E. Nelson
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The problem of evil--as opposed to the argument from evil--is an ancient one, but it was not initially formulated as an argument in support of atheism. God's existence was taken for granted, and on that basis thinkers like Augustine engaged an serious intellectual struggle with deep questions about the divine raised by the presence of evil in the world: the unicity of God, the knowability of God, the possibility of Divine providence.⁴ The atheist argument from evil--especially as expounded of late by the New Atheists--tends to reduce this history to a caricature.
Is Slumdog Millionaire A Retelling Of The Ramayana?, William L. Blizek, Michele M. Desmarais
Is Slumdog Millionaire A Retelling Of The Ramayana?, William L. Blizek, Michele M. Desmarais
Journal of Religion & Film
Is a banner with a picture of Rama and Sita on it and the word, “Ramayana,” the only link between the film Slumdog Millionaire and the great Hindu epic? In this paper we explore elements in the film that correspond to elements in theRamayana. There is no one-to-one correlation, and some relationships between the two are, in fact, mirror images. However, there are enough correlations and influences to suggest that the film might be considered a retelling of theRamayana. We also acknowledge though that there are also features of the film that some would …

Valmiki And Hesse: Maya Through The Ages, Kevin Blankinship
Valmiki And Hesse: Maya Through The Ages, Kevin Blankinship
BYU Asian Studies Journal
The Vedic poet Valmiki could hardly have imagined that, with his discovery of shloka, or poetic meter, and the subsequent advent of literature as a separate aesthetic genre, Hindu notions of reality would lend expression of outrage to war-weary Germans thousands of years later. Or perhaps he did: Brahma’s benediction provided that, “so long as the mountains and rivers . . . stay on the face of the earth / So long will the story of Rama endure / So long will your fame remain.”1

Some Aboriginal Minnesota Names Borrowed From Sanskrit And Japanese, Donald B. Lawrence, Makarand Jawadekar
Some Aboriginal Minnesota Names Borrowed From Sanskrit And Japanese, Donald B. Lawrence, Makarand Jawadekar
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
In some American aboriginal words, similarities in phonetics and meaning suggest borrowing, especially from Japanese, or some language(s) from which it is derived, and from Sanskrit, the mother tongue of India, or its Indo-European predecessor. This work suggests that exploration of American Indian names may have important application to human migrations, perhaps even in pre-Columbian time. Intensive research might reveal specific regions of origin of names and of the people who brought them, and may even suggest the time and mode of travel. These studies, concentrated on the Pacific coastal regions of the Western Hemisphere, point to the Middle East …
