Editorial: Analytic Science-Engaged Theology
Get PDFAnalytic theology and Science-Engaged Theology are two of the most exciting movements within theology in recent years, and have much in common. Both are interdisciplinary endeavours that engage other sub-disciplines (analytic philosophy and the natural and behavioural sciences, respectively) in the service of theology. Many (although not all) of the same scholars actively contribute to both movements. Furthermore, analytic theology and science-engaged theology both maintain the primacy and integrity of the theological task, whilst simultaneously inviting other disciplines to enrich theological reflection, criticism, and confession
Vers une dynamique d'objectivation de l'évaluation patrimoniale
Get PDFRésumé. Le concept de valeur semble posséder une importance capitale, à la fois dans la littérature scientifique et dans le discours professionnel des différent·es acteurs et actrices du patrimoine. Les actions menées pour faire évoluer l'environnement construit hérité des générations passées semblent dépendre de la valeur que nous lui accordons. Dans le présent essai, les concepts de valeur, d'évaluateur·trice et d'évaluation patrimoniale sont discutés. Après un retour sur leurs étymologies, deuxcontextes historiques sont comparés : l'axiologie classique du XIXe siècle fondée sur la recherche de rationalité des Lumières et les typologies de valeurs contemporaines aux prises avec la complexité. Ce retour historique montre une complexification et une multiplication des grilles d'évaluation, ainsi que la nécessité de questionner la subjectivité inhérente aux prises de décisions des acteurs et actrices du patrimoine. Pour ne pas sombrer dans une forme de relativisme excessif décrédibilisant définitivement toute tentative d'objectivation des processus d'évaluations patrimoniales, un modèle dynamique de grille d'évaluation est proposé.Abstract. The concept of value seems to have capital importance both in scientific literature and in various heritage actors' professional discourse. The actions undertaken to develop the built environment inherited from previous generations seem to depend on the value we assign it. In this essay, the concepts of value, assessor, and heritage assessment are discussed. After an examination of their etymologies, two historical contexts are compared: the classical axiology of the 19th century based on the Enlightenment search for rationality and the typologies of contemporary values struggling with complexity. This historical reassessment shows a complexification and multiplication of evaluation grids, as well as the need to question the subjectivity inherent in heritage actors' decisions. In order not to sink into excessive relativism definitively discrediting any attempt to objectify the process of heritage assessments, a dynamic evaluation grid model is proposed
L’histoire de Zosime sur la vie des bienheureux : édition et traduction de la version arabe libre
Get PDFThe Story of Zosimus is a mythological text inspired by a chapter of the book of Jeremiah, namely chapter 35. The text relates the journey of Zosimus, the meeting with the Blessed One and how he wrote their story. The text, common in the Eastern tradition, is transmitted in several languages and in several versions. This article briefly discusses the Arabic versions of the text (long, short and free) and the differences between them. Thereafter, it focuses mainly on the editing and translation of the free version and its characteristics.L’histoire de Zosime est un texte mythologique inspiré d’un chapitre du livre de Jérémie, à savoir le chapitre 35.

Are Scholars’ Wages Correlated with their Human Capital?
Get PDFThroughout our project on premodern academia, we use a heuristic human capital index to measure each scholar’s quality. This index is built by combining several statistics from individual Wikipedia and Worldcat pages. The question we address here is whether this measure is correlated with the actual wages professors received. This note is a technical appendix to our paper on the academic market (De la Croix et al. 2020) but also has an interest as a stand-alone publication.
There is considerable evidence that compensations for academic contractswentwell beyond paid salaries.1 They included payments from students, prebends,2 and many forms of in-kind benefits. Yet, it is interesting to examine the relationship between scholars’ human capital and existing data on monetary remunerations. Such remunerations have been used by Dittmar (2019) to show that professor salaries increased significantly relative to skilled wages after printing spread, with science professors benefiting from the largest salary increases. In the two sections below, we first review the available data on salaries, and argue that such data are imperfect proxies for the overall remuneration for academic services (i.e. a scholar’s market value). Keeping in mind such limitations, we thendocument a positive correlation between monetary income and scholars’ human capital. 
Divided Minds and Divine Judgement: : Dissociative Identity Disorder, Heaven and Hell, and the Resurrection of the Body
Get PDFIn this paper, I shall argue that Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a disorder in which seemingly independent identities (alters) arise within the same individual, can have considerable consequences in Christian theology. I shall focus on traditional Christian understandings of the afterlife. I shall begin by outlining DID, and shall argue that in some DID cases, alters appear to be different persons according to some definitions of personhood in Christian theology. I shall then illustrate the difficulty this raises for two influential ideas in the Christian tradition: the heaven and hell understanding of the afterlife, and the idea of the resurrection of the body. Finally, I shall consider some objections to the problem, and shall highlight which responses are the most plausible

Belgian family policy from a comparative perspective: does it support fertility and gender equity?
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to compare the Belgian family policy to policies in other countries within the so-called conservative welfare state regime group, namely, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and to the policy applied in one country that has adopted a social-democratic model, i.e., Sweden. Based on previous studies, we aim to identify strengths and weaknesses according to two criteria: efficacy in promoting fertility and promoting gender equity, the latter being understood as mothers’ involvement in the labour market and fathers’ involvement in care. We maintain that the Belgian family policy presents several features that have the potential to positively affect fertility. Such positive features mainly pertain to family allowances and birth premiums, together with enrolment rates for children under three years of age (albeit with worrisome, low public spending on childcare). However, other aspects of the Belgian policy are more critical for gender equity. Such aspects include the remuneration of parental leave and time credit, a lack of radical reforms to support fathers’ involvement, and regional disparities in several family policy measures. Counterintuitively, short durations for maternity leave and parental leave might also negatively affect gender equity.
Communion and Creation: Relational Theological Anthropology and the Flourishing of Creation
Get PDFIn this paper, I argue for an extension of relational accounts of the imago Dei which includes a kind of priestly relation to the created order. In this relation, humanity is intended to ensure the independent flourishing of creation in a way reflective of the kind of communion we ought to have with one another. Through an analysis of the brokenness of these relationships, I argue human oppression of other humans and ravaging of creation are born of the same brokenness in such a way that they contribute to one another as distortions of human teleological communion. By drawing on Social Identity Approach in group psychology, I can offer an account of shared human identity out of which humanity acts in distorted ways as a group. By describing oppression and ravaging in terms of broken communal telos and group action, I offer a way forward for relating humanity to the created order in a way that neither instrumentalizes creation, nor flattens the distinctiveness of human creation in the image of God
Roadmap for daily practice of CBCT in cleft lip palate paediatric patients: a pictorial review.
Get PDFObjective: to present and to illustrate a new methodology for daily practice in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) interpretation and reporting in cleft lip palate (CLP) non syndromic paediatric patients. The proposed protocol is based on clinical experience and on systematic search of the literature.
Material and methods: We performed two types of systematic search of articles: 1) articles related to the use of CBCT in CLP patients, and 2) articles related to the reporting and interpretation of the CBCT images by radiologists. We used two databases PubMed and Google scholar.
Results: For indications of CBCT in CLP patients we found in PubMed 378 articles and 48 articles were selected for the review; in Google scholar we found 463 articles, and 9 articles were selected for the review. 2) For reporting in CBCT we found 956 articles in PubMed, and 9 articles were selected for the review.
Conclusions: We presented the 6-steps system for interpretation and reporting information from CBCT of CLP paediatric patients: 1) Step 1 (axial view): presence or absence of bone bridge remnants of alveolar bone graft; Step 2 (3D dental tissue reconstruction): description of dental arch tooth by tooth, search for agenesis and supernumerary teeth, description of variation in the position of the tooth explaining the type of existing translation and rotation; Step 3 (coronal view): cleft palate pathway and its extension; anomaly in maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses if existing; Step 4 (sagittal and coronal view): checking of the opening (calcification sites) of the sphenooccipital synchondrosis, and checking of anomalies of the occipital bone; Step 5 (3D bone tissue reconstruction): C1-C2 vertebra anomalies; Step 6 (3D soft tissue reconstruction): external ear anomalies. We illustrated our methodology with 46 figures from 5 CBCT of CLP patients.Objective: to present and to illustrate a new methodology for daily practice in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) interpretation and reporting in cleft lip palate (CLP) non syndromic paediatric patients.

Brussels Housing: Un atlas du logement à Bruxelles
Get PDFRésumé. Cet article présente l’ouvrage Brussels Housing, paru en février dernier aux éditions Birkhäuser et signé par un professeur et un chercheur de LOCI+LAB. Il retrace l’évolution de l’architecture du logement à Bruxelles. Cette histoire est narrée en trois volets : depuis les origines de la ville jusqu’à la formation de son type le plus courant, ensuite d'autres formes de logement présentes sur le territoire par comparaison avec ce type dominant et, enfin, les tendances actuelles en termes de logement. Trois récits parallèles rendent compte de cette histoire architecturale et lui donnent une épaisseur complémentaire. Le premier articule des textes et des images d’archives. Le second développe des diptyques photographiques réalisés par Maxime Delvaux. Le troisième est un atlas de dessins de 108 cas significatifs du territoire bruxellois.
Abstract. This article presents the book Brussels Housing, which has just been published by Birkhäuser and is signed by a professor and a researcher of LOCI+LAB. It traces the evolution of housing architecture in Brussels. This history is conveyed in three stages: from the origins of the city to the establishment of its most common type, other forms of housing present in Brussels in comparison with this dominant type, and current trends in housing. Three parallel narratives capture this architectural history by giving it complementary approaches. The first articulates texts and archives. The second develops photographic diptychs shot by Maxime Delvaux. The third is an atlas of drawings of 108 significant cases of the Brussels territory
