Entre Lettres Et Message – La Spécificité Des Écrits Pauliniens, Sœur Yara Matta

Horizons et Conjonctures

La spécificité des lettres de Paul dans l’Antiquité est décelée à partir de l’analyse d’une péricope de la deuxième épître aux Corinthiens. Ses écrits exercent d’abord une fonction de gouvernement à distance ; et maintiennent ainsi son autorité apostolique au-delà de la présence physique auprès de ceux qu’il avait évangélisés. D’autre part, son but est de continuer à édifier la communauté et à l’accompagner vers une plus grande croissance dans la foi, l’espérance et l’amour. Enfin, les lettres pauliniennes sont au service de la Parole vivante de l’Évangile et montrent un apôtre qui cherche à se conformer au Christ, son …

Les Mécanismes De La Violence Terroriste Dans Mécaniques Du Chaos De Daniel Rondeau, Ghada Saouli, Père Khalil Chalfoun

Horizons et Conjonctures

Le terrorisme islamiste bouleverse les sociétés contemporaines et appelle une réponse multidisciplinaire intégrant les volets militaire, juridique, politique et religieux. La littérature, par sa portée réparatrice, participe à cette lutte. L’œuvre Mécaniques du chaos de Daniel Rondeau illustre cette dynamique en dénonçant l’extrémisme violent et en analysant les mécanismes sociaux, religieux et économiques qui le nourrissent. Elle met en lumière la capacité de la parole littéraire à prévenir la radicalisation en favorisant une culture du dialogue et de la compréhension.

Healthcare-Seeking Behavior In A Toxic Landscape: Investigating Cancer Care Awareness In Louisiana's Cancer Alley, Moumita Roy

LSU Master's Theses

The fossil fuel and petrochemical sector in the Louisiana region, known as "Cancer Alley," has a devastating impact not only on the environment but also on the health and lives of the local population. Extreme pollution from the petrochemical industry not only elevated cancer rates in this region but also maternal, reproductive, and newborn health harms, respiratory diseases, and other complex health issues. This study examined the healthcare-seeking behavior of some residents and their awareness of cancer facilities within a 100-mile radius of their homes and identified key challenges, such as proximity of cancer care and accessibility, financial constraints, and …

La Désinformation Religieuse Sur Les Réseaux Sociaux : Un Fléau À Contenir, Roula Azar Douglas

Horizons et Conjonctures

Avec plus de 60 % de la population mondiale active sur les plateformes numériques, les réseaux sociaux constituent un terrain fertile pour la désinformation religieuse, incluant les fausses nouvelles ciblant des groupes religieux et la déformation de textes sacrés. La propagation rapide résulte de motivations politiques et économiques, de l’ignorance, du fanatisme religieux et des biais médiatiques. Les utilisateurs contribuent à cette diffusion en partageant du contenu sans vérification. Certaines personnes sont plus vulnérables en raison de l’absence d’esprit critique, du manque de temps et de la faible maîtrise numérique.
La lutte contre ce fléau requiert une approche multidimensionnelle : …

The plaintiffs did just that here and enrolled their children in Blue Ridge Academy and Visions in Education, both independent-study charter schools. Unfortunately, not all parents are able to avail themselves of this opportunity because …

Les Conditions D’Une Laïcité Dans Le Monde Arabe, Salah Aboujoudé, S.J.

Horizons et Conjonctures

Cet article aborde la question de la laïcité dans le monde arabe et les différentes perspectives sur les raisons de son échec apparent. Le débat oppose deux approches principales : l’essentialisme et l’approche circonstancielle. D’une part, les partisans de l’essentialisme estiment qu’il faudrait une transformation de l’éthos musulman lui-même pour que la laïcité réussisse. D’autre part, les partisans de l’approche circonstancielle mettent l’accent sur les facteurs historiques qui ont influencé le monde arabe et favorisé certaines interprétations de l’islam qui sont défavorables à la laïcité et à la démocratie. Ils soulignent également le risque de préjugés envers l’islam résultant de …

Journal Of Middle East and Islamic Studies

This research investigates the influence of social media on political change and the role of digital activism, with a particular emphasis on the obstacles of disinformation and polarism.

Journal Of Middle East and Islamic Studies

The indication of a secular collection, processing, and use of big data makes it imperative to consider big data from a moral responsibility and ethical perspective. This article seeks to integrate Islamic values and principles from the perspective of Syed Naquib Al Attas, with a particular focus on ethics and morals in the context of big data. This research employs a literature review methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach, Al Attas …
