القدس: مشروع بناء ضخم في فترة المفوضين الرومان / Monumental Building Project In Jerusalem In The Time Of The Roman Governors, Nahshon Szanton, Moran Hagbi, Joe Uziel, Donald T. Ariel

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

For over a century and a half, segments of Jerusalem’s Early Roman-period street network have been uncovered in excavations in the city, particularly the street that wended its way from the southernmost gate of the city, near Siloam Pool, to the Temple Mount. The importance of this street is evident from its dimensions, as well as from the quality of its construction, which undoubtedly required expansive workforce and skilled laborers and craftsmen. Based on archaeological and historical data, the establishment of the street has variously been attributed to the Herodian period, the reign of Herod the Great, or the days …

مخطط مدينة إيليا كاپيتولينا (القدس): شوارع الأعمدة، أقواس النصر والبوابات / The Urban Plan Of Aelia Capitolina (Jerusalem): Colonnaded Streets, Monumental Arches And City Gates, Walid Atrash, Gabi Mazor

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Jerusalem always posed a challenge to scholars, being a sacred city to the three monotheistic religions, who were active here since the dawn of time. Although excavations conducted in the city were either restricted or limited by endless obstacles, they still yielded meaningful data concerning its various historical chapters. Epigraphic evidence, as well as data accumulated from the growing number of archaeological excavations, were thoroughly investigated to unveil the nature of the Roman polis, Aelia Capitolina, which was founded by Hadrian on the ruins of Jerusalem. This paper analyzes the accumulated archaeological data pertaining to the layout of the Roman …

خاتم حج مسيحي مزين في مشهد القيامة / A Christian Pilgrimage Ring With A Resurrection Scene, Yana Tchekhanovets

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

This paper presents a Byzantine–Early Islamic-period ring adorned with a Resurrection scene, which was recently discovered in salvage excavations the Giv’ati Parking Lot, Jerusalem. This ring is the first of its kind to be retrieved from a well-dated stratified archaeological context. It enables us to confirm the traditional dating of similar rings kept in museum collections and discuss their possible function in early Christian pilgrimage.

الراهب المُكبَّل من خربة المصانع / The Monk Of The Rings In Light Of The New Excavations From Khirbat El-Maṣani‘, Ramat Shelomo, Jerusalem, Zubair ‘Adawi

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Khirbat el-Maṣani‘ is located about 4 km northwest of Jerusalem, along a secondary road that led from Lod to Jerusalem via en-Nabi Samwil. The site includes the remains of a Byzantine-period triple-apsed church, which was part of a monastery or a pilgrims’ hostel. Abel had suggested that the church be identified as the New Church of Saint Zachary, built by Priest Sabinus. The site was surveyed several times in the past, including during the extensive Jerusalem Survey, and a limited excavation was conducted at the site by Gabi Mazor, exposing the facade of two of the apses. In 2017, a …

النموذج الافتراضي للمباني الأموية عند سفح الحرم القدسي الشريف: التفسير الأثري والتاريخي / The Virtual Model Of The Umayyad Buildings At The Foot Of The Temple Mount And Its Surroundings: Archaeological And Historical Interpretation, Yuval Baruch

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

This paper reviews the main architectural and artistic findings discovered in excavations conducted in the Umayyad buildings at the foot of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. These buildings were reconstructed to house this unique architectural system. The buildings were built atop the remains of ancient monuments, most likely from the Byzantine period, as is especially evident in Building II. The buildings’ plans adhere to several architectural principles: a closed architectural system, including four or five buildings separated by a system of streets; all buildings relate to the Temple Mount and are connected to it via the restored Temple Mount gates …

أرضيات فسيفساء، أواني وأثاث ليتورجي وأجزاء معمارية من دير بيزنطي في وادي قدرون/ وادي النار، القدس / Mosaic Floors, Liturgical Vessels And Furniture, And Architectural Sculpture From The Byzantine Monastery In Naḥal Qidron, Jerusalem, Lihi Habas

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Excavations in the Naḥal Qidron monastery recovered several colorful mosaics. A mosaic floor exhibing geometric interlaces populated by animals was uncovered in the church hall, and a mosaic floor depicting geometric and vegetal patterns was found in the vestibule. The monastery courtyard was paved with a crude white mosaic floor. These mosaics find parallels throughout the Holy Land, dating from the Byzantine and Umayyad periods, in both secular and religious contexts. However, their pronounced connection with other mosaics in the vicinity of Jerusalem suggests that at least one mosaic workshop operated in the Jerusalem area. The Naḥal Qidron mosaics are …

ثلاثون عامًا على اكتشاف كنيسة قاتيسما (قادسمو) / Thirty Years Since The Discovery Of The Kathisma: What Have We Discovered And What Have We Learned?, Rina Avner

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

About 300 m north of the Mar-Elias Monastery, near an ancient water reservoir, “Bir Kadismo” on the British survey map, three salvage excavations were conducted on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority in 1992, 1997 and 2000; another excavation was undertaken in 1999, in collaboration with the University of Athens and representatives of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Remains of a church with a unique octagonal plan were discovered, as well as buildings identified as the monastery to which the church belonged. The plan comprises three concentric octagons surrounding a rock. The inner and middle octagons were separated by …

سوق مفتوح من الفترة العباسية في مدينة القدس / An Open Market Within Abbasid-Period Jerusalem, Yana Tchekhanovets, Doron Ben-Ami

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

The archaeological record pertaining to the Abbasid period in the south of Jerusalem has considerably increased in recent years with archaeological research gradually focusing on this period. The large-scale salvage excavations in the Giv‘ati Parking Lot, south of Ḥaram el-Sharif, exposed extensive Abbasid-period remains that shed new light on the function of this area at the time, filling in the gap left by the paucity of historical sources.

طريق المعابد المقدسة (Via Templi) في القدس: تمرين للبناء في القرن الثاني عشر / Jerusalem’S Via Templi: A Twelfth-Century Ce Builder’S Exercise, Yehiel Zelinger, Michal Haber, Vardit Shotten-Hallel

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

A salvage excavation in Jerusalem helped confirm previous suggestions to locate the twelfthcentury butchery mentioned in historical sources along Via Templi (today, the Street of the Chain). Our survey of the site enabled characterization and phasing of the various functions within this institution and its plausible dating. Based on the results of the technological and architectural analyses, we can establish that the twelfth-century alley, whose location was previously unknown, is located to the north of the Street of the Chain. This alley may be identified with the Furriers Alley, which was connected to the Furriers Street (ruga Parmentariorum, Street of …

ترميم أسوار مدينة القدس / The Conservation Of Jerusalem’S City Wall, Avi Mashiah

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

The Old City wall is one of the most important cultural heritage assets of Jerusalem. It is without doubt the most prominent monument in the city’s urban landscape, greatly influencing the development of the modern city. In 2005, several stones of the Old City wall were detached and fell into the schoolyard of the Collטge des Frטres. Consequently, the Israel Antiquities Authority Conservation Department undertook a survey to collect data concerning the physical condition of the wall. The survey results pointed to a variety of physical problems along the entire length of the City Wall. Following this, in 2006, the …

الازدهار المعماري في حي سوق القطانين في القدس / The Development Of The Sūq Al-Qaṭṭānīn Quarter In Jerusalem, Tawfiq DaʿAdli, Hervé Barbé

Cornerstone: Journal of Archaeological Sites (حجر الزاوية)

Following the discovery of a Mamlūk public bathhouse and a vaulted hall to the south of the Cotton Market in the Old City of Jerusalem, this paper proposes a reevaluation of the urban fabric nearest to the focal point of Islamic Jerusalem—Ḥaram el-Sharīf. We argue that the building project previously considered to be accomplished under the supervision of the district governor, Saif al-Dīn Tankiz, and financed by Sultan al-Nāṣir Muḥammad b. Qalāwūn, was in fact initiated by Tankiz. The first building project of Tankiz was the double ḥammām, followed by the construction of a Khān; these were presumably connected to …

Fashion And Sustainability: Consumption And Shared Responsibility, Jie Gao Fowler, Timothy Reisenwitz, Rongwei Chu

Atlantic Marketing Journal

Indulgence in fashion has been indispensable in modern societies, as it is a crucial device for self-image and identity construction. With the advanced technology and globalization of production, the fashion industry has skewed towards fast fashion, making the latest trends available to mass consumers at affordable prices. This research aims to examine how Chinese consumers perceive sustainable consumption in the context of fashion. We endeavor to explore the factors that influence the engagement of sustainable consumption. This study aims not to argue whether sustainable fashion should mobilize or replace the current fashion system but to provide evidence on consumers' perception …

Isaac Newton As A Prophetic Interpreter, Kenneth Jørgensen

Dissertations

Throughout his life, Sir Isaac Newton was deeply dedicated to the science of decoding biblical apocalyptic writings. To understand and appreciate Newton's prophetic scheme, it will be advantagous to have a certain grasp of what sources and ideas might have influenced him. No comprehensive study before this one has helped us see Newton from that perspective. A survey of the development of canonical apocalyptic hermeneutic and interpretation, beginning before the time of Christ and ending with Newton, shows that four distinct systems of hermeneutics had developed by that time. Historicism was the earliest and the preferred system among Protestants until …

An Analysis Of The Use Of The Writings Of Ellen G. White In The Views Of Herbert Douglass And Woodrow Whidden On The Human Nature Of Christ, Cyril Marshall

Dissertations

The human nature of Christ is one of the more controverted topics within Seventh-day Adventism. This dissertation analyzes the works of two influential writers on this topic—Herbert Douglass and Woodrow Whidden—comparing their use of Ellen White's writings on the human nature of Christ. The purpose of this study is to discover the hermeneutical principles they each employed in interpreting Ellen White's writing on Christ's humanity. The research utilizes primary source materials from all three authors, as well as secondary source materials, including books, journals, magazines, papers, and course notes.

The author concludes that there are statements in the writings of …

Preceptorship Practice In Healthcare Institutions In Ghana: A Situational Analysis, Ivy E. Sackey

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Preceptors play a vital role in supporting nursing/midwifery students and new employees’ transition and assimilation into their new role. Furthermore, with the increasing focus on educating more qualified nurses and midwives to meet health-related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, there is a need for a more standardized and coordinated approach to preceptorship training. As former Head of the Nursing/Midwifery Training Institution in Ghana, I observed first-hand that the system of preceptorship needs improvements. Published literature on preceptorship has shown that the practice plays a vital role in healthcare delivery. However, most of the existing literature preceptorship is from developed countries, …

An Emerging Masculinity: A Qualitative Study Of Majority-Status Men's Gender Socialization, Emily Sargent

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Majority-status American men have been found to disproportionately experience suicide, homicide, perpetration of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, as well as, alcohol and drug-related concerns. Current research considers gender socialization of traditional constructs of masculinity to be “toxic” for men and others (i.e., Women, gender and sexual minorities). This study sought to explore young men’s current experience of masculinity identity development in America. Six participants who self-identified as White, straight, English speaking, educated, cisgender, and emerging adult men shared their lived experience of masculinity via virtual video interviews. To assess results of this qualitative study, interpretive phenomenological analysis was …

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

The purpose of this concurrent mixed-methods study is to explore the use of student engagement and cocurricular student philanthropy education as an approach to awareness raising and as a mechanism for creating a culture of philanthropy among college students. This dissertation is a synthesis of the review with a consensus that student engagement and cocurricular student philanthropy education create greater awareness, learning, and intentions around philanthropy and prosocial behavior, as well as increased instances of making charitable contributions and civic engagement. The study concludes that student engagement and cocurricular philanthropy education are effective mechanisms for creating a culture of giving. …

Associations Of Short And Medium Chain Saturated Fatty Acids And Dairy With Cognitive Functioning In The Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, Sophie M. Kenny

Master's Theses and Capstones

Cognitive decline is a major public health concern. Evidence suggests that Hispanic/Latino adults, specifically Puerto Rican adults, in the US are at a higher risk of developing dementia or cognitive decline due to the high prevalence of risk factors, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Emerging evidence suggests that specific dietary fatty acids, short and medium-chain-length saturated fatty acids, that are found in dairy may be beneficial for cognitive function. However, there are limited observational studies examining the effects of SMCSFA and dairy on cognitive function in Hispanic/Latino adults. We examined the cross-sectional and prospective associations between SMCSFA and dairy consumption …

Optimizing Whistleblowing, Usha Rodrigues

Scholarly Works

Whistleblowers have exposed misconduct in settings ranging from public health to national security. Whistleblowing thus consistently plays a vital role in safeguarding society. But how much whistleblowing is optimal? And how many meritless claims should we tolerate to reach that optimum? Surprisingly, legislators and scholars have overlooked these essential questions, a neglect that has resulted in undertheorized, stab-in-the-dark whistleblower regimes, risking both overdeterrence and underdeterrence.

This Article confronts the question of optimal whistleblowing in the context of financial fraud. Design choices, which play out along two axes, have profound effects on the successful implementation of whistleblowing policy. One axis varies …

Popular Enforcement Of Controversial Legislation, Randy Beck

Scholarly Works

Texas opted for popular enforcement of Senate Bill 8 (S.B. 8), prohibiting abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. In an effort to prevent pre-enforcement judicial review, the legislature precluded enforcement of the statute by government officials. Instead, any member of the public may sue for statutory damages of at least $10,000 from any person who (1) performs an abortion violating the statute, (2) knowingly aids or abets such an abortion, or (3) “intends” to perform or aid and abet such an abortion.

The cause of action authorized by S.B. 8 is a “popular action,” a once common method …

Remarks, Andrea L. Dennis

Scholarly Works

Over the course of one week, the Michigan Journal of Law Reform presented its annual Symposium, this year titled Reimagining Police Surveillance: Protecting Activism and Ending Technologies of Oppression. During this week, the Journal explored complicated questions surrounding the expansion of police surveillance technologies, including how police and federal agencies utilize their extensive resources to identify and surveil public protest, the ways in which technology employed by police is often flawed and disparately impacts people of color, and potential reforms of police surveillance technology. Before delving into these complicated questions, I presented remarks on the history of police surveillance in …

Uzuegbunam V. Preczewski, Nominal Damages, And The Roberts Stratagem, Michael Wells

Scholarly Works

In Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski the Supreme Court held for the first time that federal-court jurisdiction exists over a § 1983 case that presents only a claim for nominal damages. As a result, such claims remain subject to adjudication even when the plaintiff’s request for prospective relief, targeting an allegedly unlawful practice, has been mooted by the government’s discontinuance of the thus-challenged behavior. In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts maintained that the majority’s ruling clashed with Article III’s “personal stake” requirement and also unwisely permitted plaintiffs to sidestep controlling jurisdictional rules by adding a meaningless claim for nominal damages to a complaint …

Clean Air Act Section 115: Is The Ipcc A 'Duly Constituted International Agency'?, Adam D. Orford

Scholarly Works

Does EPA’s receipt of the Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) trigger the agency’s duties under Clean Air Act § 115? The law requires EPA to take action to prevent or eliminate air pollution endangering the public health or welfare of foreign nationals under certain circumstances. If triggered, the argument goes, the law could justify, or compel, EPA’s imposition of nationwide greenhouse gas regulation to combat climate change. One way to justify this, or compel it, is to trigger EPA’s duties “upon receipt of reports, surveys or studies from any duly constituted international agency.” This article …

Why Conflict Between International Economic And Rights-Based Governance Is Inevitable, Desiree Leclercq

Scholarly Works

International organizations mandated to govern social rights are colliding with international organizations mandated to govern economic development. While disagreeing with the nature of fragmentation and conflict across international organizations, legal and social science scholars offer various proposals to unify global governance. Those proposals assume that unification will come naturally. That assumption is wrong.

By closely examining the pandemic-related activities carried out by the International Labor Organization, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund in the same 41 countries, the implications of …

“I Kind Of Pushed Back”: Efficiency And Urgency In A No-Excuses Writing Curriculum, Katie Nagrotsky

Education Faculty Publications

Drawing on the concept of structuring contexts (Berchini, 2016) this article explores a white teacher’s understanding of teaching writing in a no-excuses charter management organization network. Through a deductive analysis, the author traces how the teacher’s beliefs about language were shaped by the CMO’s emphasis on efficiency, influencing how he acted on and adapted centralized curriculum and assessment practices. Documenting the ways that whiteness works within the writing curriculum and assessment practices despite stated broader organizational commitments to culturally relevant teaching, the author shows how the curriculum appropriated texts written by People of Color while the assessment practices prioritized correctness …

Systems Of Oppression: The Impact Of Discrimination On Latinx Immigrant Adolescents’ Well-Being And Development, Stephanie A. Torres, Susana Sosa Phd, Roxanna Flores Tousaint Phd, Sarah Alicia Jolie Phd, Yvita Bustos Phd

Psychology: Faculty Publications and Other Works

With over 400 harmful immigration policy changes in the past 4 years, Latinx adolescents and families nationwide are developing within a context of extreme anti-immigrant sentiment (Dismantling and reconstructing the U.S. immigration system: A catalog of changes under the Trump presidency, Migration Policy Institute, 2020). This paper introduces the Multitiered Model of Oppression and Discrimination (MMOD), a conceptual model for understanding the impacts of multiple levels of discrimination on the well-being and development of Latinx immigrant adolescents. Interpersonal discrimination (Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, 2010, 32, 259), community-held stereotypes (Social Psychology of Education, 2001, 5, 201), institutional policies (Children and …
