Liturgical-pastoral significance of 'Divine Service'
Full text linkU ovom se radu pokušava pružiti presjek liturgijskopastoralnih
i liturgijsko teoloških tema u pedestodgodišnjem
izlaženju ‘Službe Božje’. Časopis ‘Služba Božja’, naime,
jedini je teološki časopis koji u svojem podnaslovu i u svojem
tematskom određenju ima za cilj promišljanje liturgije i liturgijske
obnove u pastoralnome kontekstu. Kroz transverzalni pregled
autor pokušava iščitati temeljne odrednice i glavne teološkoliturgijske
teme ‘Službe Božje’. Prema mišljenju autora, riječ je\ud
o četiri susljedne faze u kojima se dade prepoznati kontinuitet
i različitost, nagnuća i prekidi, u svakom slučaju živ dinamizam
‘Službe Božje’ kao mjesta teološkoga i pastoralnoga promišljanja
liturgije kod nas. Prvu fazu autor smatra programskom jer je
u njoj nastala ‘Služba Božja’ kao ‘liturgijska revija’. U drugom
razdoblju, obilježenim koncilskom i neposredno postkoncilskom
obnovom ‘Služba Božja’ također biti mjesto zauzetoga promišljanja
liturgije i liturgijske obnove kod nas. U svojem daljnjem razvoju
‘Služba Božja’ će više naginjati teološko-pastoralnih temama, te
će se faktički preobraziti u teološki časopis. I na koncu, najnovije
razdoblje ‘Službe Božje’ obilježeno je ‘traganjem za liturgijskim
temama’ što ujedno otvara prostora promišljanju liturgijskoga
identiteta ovoga časopisa u budućnosti.This work is trying to give a cross-section view of liturgicalpastoral
and liturgical theological themes in the fifty years of
publishing the Divine Service. The periodical Divine Service is the
only theological periodical with the aim, as shown in its subtitle
and thematic determination, to analyze liturgy and liturgical
renewal in pastoral context. Through the sectional view the
author is trying to find the basic guidelines and main theologicalliturgical
themes of Divine Service. In the author’s opinion there
are four successive phases in which one can recognize the
continuity and diversity, tendencies and interruptions, a vivid
dynamism of Divine Service as a place of theological and pastoral
analysis of liturgy with us. The author finds the first phase to
be programmatic as Divine Service emerged in it as a “liturgical
review”. The second part was characterized by the Council and
Post Council renewal and Divine Service was engaged by liturgy
analysis and liturgy renewal. In its subsequent development
Divine Service will pass to theological-pastoral themes and
actually it transformed into a theological periodical. In the end,
the recent period of Divine Service has been characterized by
the “searching for liturgical themes” which at the same time
opens up the space for the analysis of liturgical identity of this
periodical in the future
Homiletic materials in 'Divine Service'
Full text linkLiturgijsko-pastoralni časopis “Služba Božja” kroz 50 godina
izlaženja donosio je i priloge za homiletsku građu što je bio jedan
od oblika podupiranja liturgijske obnove što ju je naznačio Drugi
vatikanski sabor.
Auktor u ovom članku analizira priloge homiletske građe
objavljene u časopisu i popratnim izdanjima stavljajući ih u
kontekst gibanja u Crkvi toga vremena. Osobito je značajno
usmjeravanje homilije prema svetopisamskim čitanjima što su
se naviještala u nedjeljnom bogoslužju i promicanje homilije kao
sastavnog dijela bogoslužja.
Ukazujući na pravo mjesto i ulogu homilije u bogoslužju,
autor sugerira i moguće perspektive za daljnje usmjeravanje
časopisa koji bi i dalje trebao biti pomoćno sredstvo pastoralnim
radnicima kod pripremanja i izvođenja bogoslužja. U tom poslu
ovdje se zadržavamo na homiliji i problemima što se pojavljuju.
Osobit je naglasak stavljen na prilagođavanje naviještenom
Pismu ali i stanju slušatelja naviknutih na nove načine govorne
komunikacije.In the fifty-year period of publishing, the liturgical-pastoral
periodical Divine Service has brought some contributions of
homiletic materials. In this article the author analyzes the
contributions of homiletic materials published in the periodical
and in concurrent editions putting them in the context of thattime
Church developments. It is important to point out the
directing of the homily towards the Bible readings announced on Sunday service and promoting the homily as an integral part
of liturgy.
Indicating the proper place and role of the homily in liturgy,
the author also suggests possible prospects for further guidelines
of the periodical which should continue assisting the pastoral
workers in preparing and carrying out the liturgy
Theological thought and life of Church in 'Divine Service'
Full text linkU ovom radu autor pruža uvid u dominantne teološke teme
u pedeset godina časopisa Služba Božja, te upućuje na njihovo
značenje za život Crkve. Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom
dijelu objašnjeno je početno liturgijsko-pastoralno usmjerenje
časopisa u kontekstu Drugog vatikanskog sabora i poslijesaborske
liturgijske obnove. U drugom dijelu, autor analitički prikazuje četiri
razdoblja života časopisa, vidljiva u načinu oblikovanja časopisa
i u pomicanju teoloških naglasaka od liturgijske na pastoralnu i
opće teološku problematiku. U tom središnjem dijelu rada posebno
je istaknut doprinos Službe Božje u nastojanjima oko provođenja
liturgijske obnove, u brizi oko teološkog produbljenja vjere, u
sustavnim pastoralnim poticajima i raznovrsnim inicijativama,
kako u liturgijsko-katehetskoj tako i u sakramentalnoj praksi, a
što se pokazalo značajnim za život Crkve u Hrvata. U trećem dijelu
postavljeno je nekoliko pitanja o teološkoj viziji ove liturgijskopastoralne
revije i mogućim promjenama koja autor smatra
relevantnima za budućnost časopisa.In this work the author gives an insight into the major
theological topics in the period of fifty years of the periodical
Divine Service, and points at their significance for the life
of Church. The work is divided into three parts. The first
part explains the initial liturgical-pastoral orientation of the
periodical in the context of the Second Vatican Council and
post council liturgical renewal. In the second part the author
analytically presents the four periods of the periodical, visible in
the periodical design and in shifting the theological emphases
from liturgical to pastoral and general theological issues. In that
central part of the work the author particularly points out the
contribution of Divine Service in efforts to carry out liturgical
renewal, to theologically deepen the faith, to give impulse to
pastoral and other initiatives in liturgical-catechetic and also
in sacramental practice, which has turned out to be important
for the life of Church with the Croats. The third part puts some
questions about theological vision of this liturgical-pastoral
review and possible changes that the author finds to be relevant
for the future of the periodical

Adapting a human thermoregulation model for predicting the thermal response of older persons
Full text linkA human thermoregulation model has been adapted for predicting the thermal response of Typical Older Persons. The model known as the Older Persons Model predicts the core body temperature and regulatory responses of the older people in environmental exposures of cold, warm and hot. The model was developed by modifying an existing dynamic human thermoregulation model using anthropometric and thermo-physical properties of older people. The Model defines the body as two interrelating systems of the body structure (passive system) and the control system of the central nervous system (active system).
The Older person’s passive system of the model was developed by meticulously extracting relevant experimental data from selected published research works relating to anthropometric and thermo-physical properties of older people. The resultant body structure (passive system) is a multi-segmented representation of a Typical Older Person. The active system (central nervous system) was developed by the application of a novel optimization method based on the working principles of Genetic Algorithms. The use of Genetic Algorithm enables the complex characteristics of the central nervous system of the older persons to be well represented and evaluated based on available data. Active system control signal coefficients for sweating, shivering, vasodilation and vasoconstriction were explicitly derived based on experimental data sourced from literature.
The Older Persons Model has been validated using independent experimental data and its results show good agreement with measured data. Furthermore, the Older Persons Model has been applied to several test cases extracted from published literature and its results show good agreement with published findings on the thermal behaviour of older persons. An interview study conducted as part of this research revealed that, professionals (built environment specialists) found the Older Persons Model useful in assisting to further understand the thermal response of the older persons.
In conclusion, the adaptation of an existing human thermoregulation model has resulted in a new model, which allows improved prediction of heat and cold strain of the older person although there exist limitations

Divine Agency and Divine Action, Volume I
No full textThis book lays the groundwork for a constructive contribution to the contemporary debate regarding divine action. It argues that the concept of divine action is not a closed concept, like knowledge, but an open concept with a variety of context-dependent meanings. In the first part of this volume, the author charts the history of debate about divine action among key Anglophone philosophers of religion, and observes that they were largely committed to this erroneous understanding of divine action as a closed concept. After developing an argument that divine action should be understood as an open, fluid concept, the author engages the work of William Alston, Process metaphysics, quantum physics, analytic Thomist philosophy of religion, and the theology of Kathryn Tanner. Deficiencies in these proposals regarding divine action are noted appreciatively. Then the author argues that divine action as an open concept must be shaped by distinctly theological considerations, and thus all future work on divine action among philosophers of religion must change to accord with this vision. Only deep engagement with the Christian theological tradition will remedy the problems ailing contemporary discourse on divine action.</p

Divine Simplicity
No full textThis paper examines a variety of approaches in order to make sense of the doctrine of divine simplicity. Discussing the implications of traditional and contemporary philosophical concepts of divine simplicity, the author argues for taking the divine nature as a stupendous substance (in a Hegelian sense) to serve as the one and only truthmaker of statements regarding God, while we can resolve the predication problem which is caused by the idea that, as implied by divine simplicity, God is identical to his attributes if we conceive of the divine nature as an equivalent to Platonic forms.</jats:p
Divine Agency and Divine Action, Volume II
No full textThis book builds upon the groundwork laid in the first volume, where it was established that no generic concept of action will suffice for understanding the character of divine actions explicit in the Christian faith. This volume argues that in order to understand divine action rightly, one must begin with the array of specific actions predicated of God in the Christian tradition. The author argues, in a way, that one must do theology in order to analyze properly the concept of divine action. Thus the book offers a careful review and evaluation of the particularities of divine action as they appear in the work of biblical, patristic, medieval, and Reformation-era theologians. Particular attention is given to the divine inspiration of Scripture, creation, incarnation, transubstantiation in the Eucharist, predestination, and divine concurrence. The motive here is not simply to repeat the doctrinal formulations found in the Christian tradition, but to examine them in order to find fresh ways of thinking about these issues for our own time, especially with respect to the contemporary debates about divine agency and divine action.</p
