Citation expectations: are they realized? Study of the Matthew index for Russian papers published abroad
No full textWe consider the "Matthew effect" in the citation process which leads to reallocation (or misallocation) of the citations received by scientific papers within the same journals. The case when such reallocation correlates with a country where an author works is investigated. Russian papers in chemistry and physics published abroad were examined. We found that in both disciplines in about 60% of journals Russian papers are cited less than average ones. However, if we consider each discipline as a whole, citedness of a Russian paper in physics will be on the average level, while chemistry publications receive about 16% citations less than one may expect from the citedness of the journals where they appear. Moreover, Russian chemistry papers mostly become undercited in the leading journals of the field. Characteristics of a "Matthew index" indicator and its significance for scientometric studies are also discussed
Artful living and the eradication of worry in Søren Kierkegaard's interpretation of Matthew 6:24-34
No full textDanish thinker Søren Kierkegaard published fourteen discourses, across four collections, on Matthew 6:24-34. The repeated readings of the biblical text, whose themes include the choice between God and mammon, worry, what it means to consider the birds and lilies, and how to seek first the kingdom of God, converge with Kierkegaard’s interest in anxiety, despair, worry, subjectivity, indirect communication, choice, the moment, and life before God. Accordingly, the discourses make connections with his larger works, elucidate frequently explored Kierkegaardian themes in recent scholarship, and contribute to his critique of nineteenth-century Copenhagen. Additionally, the collections present an interpretation of each verse and phrase of Matthew’s text and, held up against modern Matthew scholarship, they correlate with and contribute to Sermon on the Mount and New Testament studies. Kierkegaard’s reading of Matthew also holds implications for the practice of biblical interpretation as it promotes the importance of awareness of sin, interestedness, and appropriation as central to proper reading. His emphasis on Christ as the primary exemplar of Matthew’s text adds an additional Christological element to his hermeneutic. Furthermore, the discourses serve as spiritual treatises which provide the reader with theological terminology to help confront the problem of worry and suffering. In light of a human being’s distinctiveness as imago Dei, Kierkegaard elucidates ways an individual may respond artfully to the ongoing possibility of worry, a possibility which the discourses connect with Christian anthropology and external labels associated with possessions and status. The Matthew 6 discourses intimate Kierkegaard’s sympathy with classic Christian spirituality and, in combination with the cultural-ecclesiastical critique, the creative exegesis, and the in-depth analysis of the cause of and cure for worry, his work emerges as an excellent example of spiritual theology

Matthew’s Emmanuel Messiah: a paradigm of presence for god's people
No full textThe motif of divine presence is a clear phenomenon within the Gospel of Matthew. The modern critical means for assessing the ancient biblical text have multiplied to the point, some claim, of disparity. This study employs both narrative and redaction criticism in an attempt to respond authentically to the structural, historical and theological dimensions of Matthew's Gospel. This study begins with the presumption of the wholeness and integrity of Matthew's narrative, and assumes the gospel story to have an inherently dramatic structure which invites readers to inhabit imaginatively its narrative world and respond to its call. But since we are concerned with the role of both reader and author, this study also assumes a text with an historical author and context. The introduction focuses on the meta-critical dilemma facing New Testament students - what is the text and how do we read it? - and seeks some balance in terms of Krieger's analogy of the text as both window and mirror. Proposed is a narrative reading of Matthew's presence motif alongside a redaction critical assessment of it. In Chapter 2 the elements of narrative theory are introduced and relevant terms defined: the structure of narrative, the function of the narrator, points of view. Chapter 3 becomes an exercise in narrative reading, with Matthew's presence motif providing the focus, and the implied reader’s interaction with the story being predominant in interpretation. Characters, rhetorical devices, and points of view are discussed, to understand the motif's development throughout the story's progress. The thrust of Chapter 4 is thereafter to examine divine presence as a dominant motif within Matthew's most important literary context: the Jewish scriptures. Here the primary paradigms of divine presence provided by the Patriarchs, the Sinai experience, and the Davidic-Zion traditions are assessed. Chapter 5 follows with a more detailed examination of the OT "I am with you/God is with us" formula and its µeo' vµwv/ηuwv language, so strongly connected to Matthew's presence motif. Chapters 6-8 build on these investigations with a closer analysis of the three critical "presence passages" of Mt 1:23. 18:20 and 28:20. The passages and their contexts are probed from a redaction critical perspective, guided by the narrative investigation of Chapter 3, and the background from Chapters 4 and 5.The three major "presence passages" examined in Chapters 6-8 are also complimented by a number of secondary issues: worship, wisdom, the Spirit and the poor in Matthew, and their relation to Jesus' divine presence. These are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 summarizes and looks briefly at some implications. Matthew' presence motif proves to be an important element of the Gospel’s rhetorical design, redactional strategy and Christology. The presence of Jesus, the Emmanuel Messiah, exhibited in his risen authority, becomes the focus of his people's hopes and experiences in the post-Easter world. What the presence of Yahweh was to his people. Jesus now provides in a new paradigm for his people - his followers, the little ones, the poor and the marginalized, from all nations

Selected letters of Matthew Arnold
No full textSelected Letters of Matthew Arnold is a collection of 216 letters by the Victorian poet and critic Matthew Arnold (1822-88). The letters are arranged chronologically and grouped under four headings that represent stages in Arnold's adult life and career: "The Young Poet, 1844-51 " "The Married Poet and Inspector of Schools, 1851-57," "The Professor of Poetry and Literary Critic, 1857-67," and "The Critic of Society and Religion 1867-88." In these letters, Arnold, who wrote no autobiography, tells the story of his life and expresses his intimate views on a variety of subjects. In order to include the largest possible selection of interesting letters from both previously published and unpublished sources, some of the letters are given in part while others are given in their complete form. Along with the most important letters from the 1895 edition by G. W. E. Russell - principally made up of letters to family members - and the 1932 edition of letters to Author Hugh Clough by Howard F. Lowry, this new collection incorporates many significant letters from other sources, including 49 previously unpublished letters. Most of the Russell and Lowry letters have been newly edited, using the manuscript collections at Yale University and Balliol College, Oxford
“Sohrab and Rustum” : Matthew Arnold’s spectacle
No full textAbstractThis thesis is, on the one hand, an investigation into Matthew Arnold’s (1822–1888) literary communications and, on the other hand, an attempt to mediate between his writings and a twenty-first century readership. Arnold’s oeuvre is substantial and varied, but this study focuses on his epic poetry, which has remained a neglected part of his body of work despite its significance both to the author himself and to developing an understanding of Arnold’s development as a poet, cultural critic, and iconic ‘Victorian sage’. Furthermore, it is his epic poetry that seems to most fully address the theme of communication, and thus these longer poems function as points of orientation for a broader inquiry into Arnold’s communications. Arnold himself was keenly aware of the complicated status of communicative acts, but these complications have not always been acknowledged by the generations of criticism that have emerged since his death. Critics have thus produced images of Arnold which have not always done justice to the complexity of his communications. Based on an understanding of ‘communicative’ as a position of mediation between writers and readers, this thesis addresses the need for a more balanced communicative framework for mediating between Arnold’s writings in general — and his epic poetry in particular — his critics, and present audiences.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Alarauhio, J.-P.

Arnoldin kirjallinen tuotanto on runsas ja monipuolinen, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa keskitytään erityisesti hänen runoepiikkansa tulkintaan. Tämä osa hänen työstään on jäänyt tutkimuksessa verrattain vähäiseen asemaan huolimatta siitä, että Arnoldin kaksi lyhyttä runoeeposta olivat tärkeitä paitsi hänelle itselleen, mutta erityisesti osana hänen kehitystään runoilijana, kulttuurikriitikkona ja ikonisena viktoriaanisen ajan julkisena intellektuellina.
Arnoldin runoepiikka vaikuttaa myös tutkivan kommunikaation teemaa laajemmin kuin hänen muut runonsa, ja toimii myös tällä tavoin keskiönä hänen oman kommunikaationsa laajemmalle tarkastelulle.

Religia naturalna i krytyka objawienia w filozofii Matthew Tindala
No full textDer Artikel widmet sich der Kritik der Offenbarung, der wir auf dem Boden des britischen Deismus bei solchen Philosophen wie Herbert von Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland oder Anthony Collins begegnen. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den Anschauungen von Matthew Tindal geschenkt, der vor allem als Autor von Christianity as Old as Creation in Erinnerung geblieben ist. Wie andere Deisten nimmt Tindal an, dass der aufgeklärte (d.h. aus allen Fesseln, besonders den des Aberglaubens befreite) menschliche Verstand der höchste Schiedsrichter in allen Fragen, auch jenen religionsbezogenen, sei. Er unterscheidet eine äußere Offenbarung (d.h. die für geoffenbart gehaltenen Bücher) und eine innere Offenbarung (d.h. die Erkenntnis der Ordnung der Dinge vom Menschen als rationalen Wesen). Ins Deutsche übersetzt von Anna PastuszkaThe article focuses on criticism on revelation which is present among British deists, such as Herbert of Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland and Anthony Collins. Particular attention is devoted to the views of Matthew Tindal, who is remembered primarily as the author of Christianity as Old as the Creation. Tindal, like the other deists, assumes that enlightened – i.e. freed from all the restraining bonds, especially from superstition – human mind is the final arbiter on all issues, including those related to religion. He distinguishes external revelation, i.e. the books considered to be revealed by God, as well as internal revelation – which means Nature revealing itself to human rational mind. Summarised by Tomasz Stefaniuk Artykuł poświęcony jest krytyce objawienia, z jaką spotykamy się na gruncie brytyj-skiego deizmu, u filozofów takich jak Herbert z Cherbury, William Wollaston, Thomas Chubb, John Toland czy Anthony Collins. Szczególna uwaga poświęcona jest poglą-dom Matthew Tindala, który zapamiętany został przede wszystkim jako autor Christia-nity as Old as Creation. Tindal, podobnie jak i pozostali deiści, przyjmuje, że oświecony – tj. wyzwolony z wszelkich krępujących go więzów, w tym zwłaszcza z przesądów – rozum ludzki jest najwyższym arbitrem we wszelkich kwestiach, również w tych zwią-zanych z religią. Wyróżnia on objawienie zewnętrzne, tj. księgi uznane za objawione, oraz objawienie wewnętrzne, czyli objawienie się porządku rzeczy człowiekowi, będą-cemu istotą racjonalną
GaNCH: Using Linked Open Data for Georgia's Natural, Cultural and Historic Organizations' Disaster Response
No full textIn June 2019, the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library received a LYRASIS Catalyst Fund grant to support the creation of a publicly editable directory of Georgia's Natural, Cultural and Historical Organizations (NCHs), allowing for quick retrieval of location and contact information for disaster response. By the end of the project, over 1,900 entries for NCH organizations in Georgia were compiled, updated, and uploaded to Wikidata, the linked open data database from the Wikimedia Foundation. These entries included directory contact information and GIS coordinates that appear on a map presented on the GaNCH project website (https://ganch.auctr.edu/), allowing emergency responders to quickly search for NCHs by region and county in the event of a disaster. In this article we discuss the design principles, methods, and challenges encountered in building and implementing this tool, including the impact the tool has had on statewide disaster response after implementation
The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, the Rule of the Master, and the Rule of Benedict
No full textThe reliance of the apocryphal Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew on the Rule of Benedict has been long acknowledged. The most significant scene to demonstrate intertextuality between the Rule of Benedict and Pseudo-Matthew is chapter 6, which depicts Mary\u27s ascetic life in a community of virgins. This scene adds much that is not in the main source, the Greek Protevangelium of James, based on the Benedictine life of work and prayer. Recent work on the sources of the apocryphal gospel, however, gives rise to questions about the sources involved in Pseudo-Matthew, especially opening up the possibility that the author of the apocryphon looked to multiple texts for various expansions. This article suggests that the author also relied on the Rule of the Master. Thus, the case of the Rule of the Master, Rule of Benedict, and Pseudo-Matthew is one of complex intertextuality with implications for how the text relates to monasticism
