This open access book is a groundbreaking volume that creates a new field within the intersection of “global health” and “LGBTQ health” delineating specific health challenges and resiliencies. There ...has been increasing awareness of the importance in recognizing LGBTQ health issues and disparities. However, there is a dearth of research and scholarship that examines LGBTQ health through global and comparative perspectives. This book addresses this gap. In the pursuit of scientific inquiry, the disciplines in public health have often emphasized reductionist perspectives that are particularized to a specific locale, municipality, or country. This book's provision of broader perspectives, cross-cutting disparities and issues, and socio-political-cultural contextualization inform the development of new research, policies, interventions, and programs. Students benefit by learning about LGBTQ health research, policies, and programs in various countries and regions. Public health researchers benefit by learning about research conducted in various countries and regions, along with understanding how research has been linked to and impacted by various policies and programs. Policymakers benefit from learning about overarching and comparative perspectives that could inform more effective policies, including those connected to multiple locations. Practitioners learn about various public health practices in multiple countries and regions that could contribute to novel and creative solutions and approaches within the respective contexts. The nine chapters of this volume facilitate greater socio-political-cultural awareness, sensitivity, and competence; undertake an in-depth literature review of health factors and outcomes; and provide recommendations for increasing health-related capacity through development and collaborations between agencies, organizations, and institutions across countries and/or regions. Global LGBTQ Health: Research, Policy, Practice, and Pathways is primarily intended for students and instructors in public health, medicine, nursing, other health professions, psychology, social work, LGBTQ or gender/sexuality studies, human rights, and the social sciences. The book is also a useful resource for public health researchers and practitioners, policymakers, and healthcare and social service providers.
Si bien existen algunos intentos de repensar el tema de la tecnología desde la filosofía de Søren Kierkegaard, no existe todavía un diálogo directo con la postura transhumanista. En este artículo ...proponemos un acercamiento inédito, entendido como una crítica, desde el pensamiento de Kierkegaard al transhumanismo y su concepto de singularity. Primero, analizamos el modo en el que los transhumanistas entienden el concepto de singularity y sus limitaciones; después, apoyándonos en la filosofía de Kierkegaard, defendemos que la única singularidad posible y real es la persona humana como relación primigenia, fuente de angustia y libertad, pecado y amor, espíritu. Defendemos también que esta relación no puede ser replicada por una creación artificial.
Key words: glory, Spirit, groaning, intercession, afflictions, image, conformity, new creation, Romans (ProQuest: ... denotes non-USASCII text omitted.) Rich themes abound in Romans 8, a perennial ...favorite within the Pauline corpus: no condemnation in Christ; adoption as sons of God; glory through suffering; God's providential working of all things for the good of believers, just to name a few. In other words, we have failed to live in a way that reflects the nature and character of God (i.e. his glory) in our lives, the very purpose for which we, as image-bearers, were created.2 Just as sin is explained with reference to glory, Paul also presents redemption in Christ in relation to glory. Because believers have been justified by faith (5:1), they once more have "hope of the glory of God" (5:2). Believers once more have "hope of the glory of God" (5:2) and will be "conformed to the image of God's Son" (8:29), which is another way of saying that they will be "glorified" (cf. 8:30).4 Thus glory becomes an eschatolog- ical hope and expectation for believers, a realization of God's purpose for Adam and for Israel to see and to show forth the glory of God.5 God's glory shared with humanity is a significant aspect of Paul's gospel as he presents it in Romans, and the hope of eschatological glory is the central theme of Romans 5-8. In Rom 5:5, Paul says believers' hope-which in context refers to their "hope of the glory of God" (5:2)-does not put them to shame "because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
The presence of outcrops and soil (regolith) rich in opaline silica (∼65–92 wt % SiO2) in association with volcanic materials adjacent to the “Home Plate” feature in Gusev crater is evidence for ...hydrothermal conditions. The Spirit rover has supplied a diverse set of observations that are used here to better understand the formation of silica and the activity, abundance, and fate of water in the first hydrothermal system to be explored in situ on Mars. We apply spectral, chemical, morphological, textural, and stratigraphic observations to assess whether the silica was produced by acid sulfate leaching of precursor rocks, by precipitation from silica‐rich solutions, or by some combination. The apparent lack of S enrichment and the relatively low oxidation state of the Home Plate silica‐rich materials appear inconsistent with the originally proposed Hawaiian analog for fumarolic acid sulfate leaching. The stratiform distribution of the silica‐rich outcrops and their porous and brecciated microtextures are consistent with sinter produced by silica precipitation. There is no evidence for crystalline quartz phases among the silica occurrences, an indication of the lack of diagenetic maturation following the production of the amorphous opaline phase.
Key Points
Opaline silica adjacent to Home Plate occurs in stratiform outcrops
Morphology and texture of opaline silica outcrops is consistent with sinter
No evidence for diagentic maturation of the amorphous opal phase
The Mars rover Spirit encountered outcrops and regolith composed of opaline silica (amorphous SiO

O) in an ancient volcanic hydrothermal setting in Gusev crater. An origin via either ...fumarole-related acid-sulfate leaching or precipitation from hot spring fluids was suggested previously. However, the potential significance of the characteristic nodular and mm-scale digitate opaline silica structures was not recognized. Here we report remarkably similar features within active hot spring/geyser discharge channels at El Tatio in northern Chile, where halite-encrusted silica yields infrared spectra that are the best match yet to spectra from Spirit. Furthermore, we show that the nodular and digitate silica structures at El Tatio that most closely resemble those on Mars include complex sedimentary structures produced by a combination of biotic and abiotic processes. Although fully abiotic processes are not ruled out for the Martian silica structures, they satisfy an a priori definition of potential biosignatures.
The behavioral decision-making characteristics of top management team (TMT) are the most direct factors affecting enterprise decision-making and team management style. Using the panel data of A-share ...listed manufacturing companies scanning from 2010 to 2019, this paper empirically tests the relationships between the four irrational variables of TMT and green technology innovation (GTI). The results show that: ① On the whole, social responsibility, innovation spirit and risk-taking spirit are significantly positively correlated with GTI, environmental protection consciousness is significantly negatively correlated with GTI, and the compound effect of the four subjective variables also shows these relationships. ② Heterogeneity analysis shows that the effect of TMT irrational characteristics is different in different types of enterprises. In large-scale enterprises and state-owned enterprises, the regression results are basically consistent with the full sample; in small-scale enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises, risk-taking spirit is still a significant force affecting enterprise GTI, while other irrational variables are no longer significant. ③ Further research shows that the unabsorbed slack resources of enterprises and marketization level can adjust the relationships between the irrational characteristics of TMT and GTI. On the whole, the role of irrational variables is more obvious when reducing the unabsorbed slack resources; the higher the level of marketization, the more the spirit of adventure can stimulate innovation; increasing enterprise R&D investment can significantly promote the improvement of GTI. The research results provide important reference for the formulation and implementation of GTI strategy.
This state-of-the-art book examines the effect of social relationships on physical health. It surveys and assesses the research that shows not only that supportive relationships protect us from a ...multitude of mental health problems but also that the absence of supportive relationships increases the risk of dying from various diseases.Bert N. Uchino discusses the links between social support and mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. He investigates whether social support is more effective for some individuals and within certain cultures. After evaluating existing conceptual models linking social support to health outcomes, he offers his own broader perspective on the issue. And he suggests the implications for intervention and for future research in this area.
It is the purpose of this paper to draw out and elucidate the spiritual dimension of analysis both for the analyst and the analysand, and, in that process, to shed light on crucial aspects of the ...process that are implicit in much contemporary psychoanalysis, but largely ignored and rarely articulated. It is the contention of this paper that the analyst brings more than a certain type of "attitude" to the analytic endeavor. The very being of the analyst drives the unique engagement with the patient we call psychoanalysis, and that is why the process is fundamentally spiritual. My intent is to show that the recognition of this spiritual dimension of analysis has significant implications for the nature of the process and the therapeutic action of analysis.
