The Other Side of the Pulpit: Listener’s Experiences of Helpful Preaching
No full textThe Australian National Church Life Survey identifies churches where the preaching is reported as “very helpful to my life.” Six case studies of these churches were undertaken. Observation, interviews, focus groups, and a survey were used in each case to identify salient descriptors. A number of features common to all cases are discernible including, practicality, humor, passion, boldness, intellectual stimulation and a simple structure. However, the research also confirms that preaching is a highly contextual activity and that preachers need to adapt their style to their particular context. A continuum of helpful preaching styles related to context is developed
Les traductions de Baudelaire en Amérique Latine : rhétoriques et moules d’écriture
Get PDFL’étude des influences et des dialogues littéraires, qui fait l’objet de la littérature comparée, acquiert une nouvelle dimension si nous ajoutons à l’analyse la perspective traductologique, discipline de plus en plus autonome dont les approches enrichissent les points de vue sur les traductions et leur rôle dans un système littéraire et culturel d’accueil. Loin d’une conception de la traduction comme une simple opération de passage opéré entre deux langues, les dernières réflexions, dont une source incontournable est la célèbre préface de Walter Benjamin intitulée « La tâche du traducteur » aux Tableaux Parisiens baudelairiens, remarquent l’aspect créatif et non ancillaire de cette sorte de réécriture productive. C’est dans ce cadre théorique que le présent travail se propose de retracer les traductions de l’oeuvre de Charles Baudelaire en Amérique Latine et de réfléchir sur les rhétoriques et les moules d’écriture qui opèrent dans les versions en espagnol. Plus particulièrement, nous nous demandons sur quelle rhétorique poétique le traducteur crée son poème en espagnol et en même temps quel est le moule d’écriture suggéré par la traduction dans l’invention d’une langue dont l’esthétique oscille entre la sublimation et la cruauté propres au style baudelairien. Pour ce faire, nous prenons le cas de quelques poèmes des Fleurs du Mal et des Tableaux Parisiens
Triglyceride Regulation of Lysosomal Cholesterol in THP-1 Macrophages
No full textThe central question I investigated in my research this semester was how the cholesterol and triglyceride metabolic pathways interact in macrophages when cholesterol levels are high. What factors prevent or enhance macrophage ability to regulate cholesterol metabolism? We have preliminary evidence that excessive cholesterol accumulation in macrophages alters triglyceride metabolism in these cells. When cellular cholesterol levels are normal, the primary site of triglyceride hydrolysis is on the surface of the macrophage. There, lipases hydrolyze triglycerides within triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to glycerol and fatty acids. The fatty acids are carried across the cell membrane into the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the fatty acids can be utilized to make triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesteryl esters. Cholesterol influences how the cell breaks down triglycerides. If cholesterol levels are high then triglyceride metabolism tends to occur more frequently in the lysosome. In contrast, when the cells have excess cholesterol, particularly within their lysosomes, the surface hydrolysis is suppressed and lipoproteins are taken up by endocytosis and delivered to lysosomes for hydrolysis. The effect of inhibiting the surface lipolysis was evaluated to determine the impact on intracellular cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The data indicates that the presence of triglyceride restores lysosomal metabolism of cholesterol

Postcolonial Preaching in Intercultural Contexts
No full textPostcolonial studies has been introduced to biblical studies, theology, and more recently to preaching. This article portrays postcolonial preaching as a locally rooted and globally conscious performance that seeks to create a Third Space so that the faith community can imagine new ways of being in the world. Postcolonial preaching must be done in the context of decolonizing worship, taking consideration of the use of symbols, liturgical texts, hymnody, scripture, and time and space. The author discusses how the preacher can engage the performative in postcolonial biblical studies and deal with heteroglossia in intercultural congregations
