Among the Qurʾanic exegesis streams that have emerged due to social changes and current developments in human civilisation, such as [specific social changes and developments], are the social literary (tafsīr al-adabī al-ijtimāʿī) stream and the hermeneutic. Both streams have their framework, phase, and factor from the time of their emergence and have their position in the method of Qurʾanic exegesis. This study discusses these two streams as a central debate in line with the historical and philosophical correlation of the evolution from classical to modern interpretations from various perspectives and in the context of the Islamic and Western world. This qualitative study used library research and comparative study on the social literary stream and hermeneutic, supported by other related written materials. The study finds that the social literary stream and hermeneutics differ in origin and methodology. The social literary stream is an interpretation that discusses Qurʾanic verses with the aesthetic value of language literature and its correlation with the elements of society. It can solve problems, counter hostility towards Islam, and treat diseases that exist in society with the guidance of the Qurʾan. Hermeneutic is a method of interpreting or expressing meaning in a text, originally referring to the Bible, originated from Greek mythology, which then developed in Christian culture and is now beginning to influence the method of interpreting the Quran. It is unsuitable for interpreting the Qurʾan because it would raise doubts (skepticism and relativism) about the equation of the Qurʾanic text with ordinary texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Credibility refers to the trustworthiness, genuineness, and plausibility of the research findings and has always been a contentious issue in qualitative research, particularly for those conducting studies on the hermeneutic phenomenology paradigm. The relationship between credibility and high qualitative research is noted by many qualitative scholars. Member checking, also known as participant or respondent validation, is a technique for exploring the credibility of results where data or results are returned to participants to check for accuracy and resonance with their experiences. Although member-checking has long been accepted as the gold standard in quantitative research, research shows that it is not the pinnacle for expressing rigor in Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenology because it contradicts many of the underpinning philosophies. Within this article the author explores how member checking has been used in published research and presents a brief overview of the various discourses on member checking in qualitative research. The author discusses the importance of evaluating whether the method fits with the theoretical position of a study and the importance to consider how member checking was undertaken and for what purpose. It is essential that researchers are transparent about what they hope to achieve with the method and how their claims about credibility and validity fit with their epistemological stance.

Aim(s) Design and methods Results Conclusion Implications for the profession Impact Reporting method Patient or public contribution To discuss the methodological aspects of participatory design, arguing for a three‐phase approach and the suitability of situating participatory design within a phenomenological–hermeneutical tradition in health science.Methodological discussion based on participatory design theory, epistemology and research studies.The epistemological and methodological discussions show how the core values and key elements of participatory design align with the phenomenological–hermeneutical approach. In addition, examples of participatory design studies are provided to illustrate how it can be conducted in health science.Participatory design is a flexible framework based on genuine participation, defined by three core values: having a say, mutual learning and democratization. The iterative processes allow for adjustments in alignment with the core values and the scientific stance that defines the choice of methods, tools and techniques. A phenomenological–hermeneutic approach in participatory design studies is relevant and aligned with the core values of participatory design. Thus, this paper argues for a close integration between the participatory design methodology and the phenomenological–hermeneutic scientific approach within health science.Participatory design is a powerful methodology with core values that can co‐design sustainable health technologies with potential to impact patient care and the clinical practice of nurses. When combined with qualitative research methods, patients' lived experiences serve as the foundation for improving clinical nursing practice. Discussing the epistemological aspects of participatory design provides nurse researchers with a coherent methodological understanding, essential for the continual development of nursing research. This paper discusses the research methodology of participatory design within health sciences. It aims to address the lack of understanding of the methodology, particularly within a specific scientific stance. The main finding is the elaboration on participatory design and the relevance of a phenomenological–hermeneutical approach. The paper has the potential to impact researchers, master's and PhD students, as well as others engaged in participatory design or other methodologies related to user involvement within health science. No available EQUATOR guidelines were applicable to this methodological paper, as no new data were created or analysed.There was no direct patient or public contribution, as this is a methodological paper.

This article endeavors to contribute towards resolving technical challenges by evaluating the best hermeneutic criterion applicable to the immunity provided for in Article 156, Paragraph 2, I, of the Federal Constitution, by which the Constituent stipulated that all the transfer of real estate for the purpose of paying in the share capital of a legal entity is immune to the levy of ITBI (Real Estate Conveyance Tax). The hypothetical-deductive method was used, capable of producing theoretical knowledge with the possibility of practical application of the knowledge acquired, through doctrinal, legislative bases and jurisprudential survey, in which it will be verified, by using an interpretative evaluation aimed at extracting the content of the immunizing norm, that we are dealing with unconditional immunity and, therefore, full effectiveness and direct and immediate enforceability. In contrast, judgments from various Courts of Justice are presented, of which the analysis of the hermeneutic criterion used by their respective interpreters reveals that the search for the norm ended up bringing limitations that were not foreseen or even desired by the Constituent.

AIM: The present study was conducted to explore the lived-in experiences of post-heart transplant patients. METHODS: This study with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach was conducted on 23 heart transplant recipients in a tertiary hospital, AIIMS, New Delhi, India, from August to December 2020. Participants were selected through total enumerative sampling. Data were collected through semistructured interviews. The data analysis was performed according to Smith's interpretative phenomenological approach. COREQ criteria for reporting qualitative research were used. RESULTS: In this study, reported experiences were divided into eight themes: (i) sickness, (ii) psychological changes, (iii) waiting for the heart, (iv) doubting survival, (v) interconnectedness between recipient and donor, (vi) living with vigilance, (vii) living with a transplanted heart, and (viii) God's significant role. Transplant Day has arrived as a ray of hope in the recipient's life. However, life after a transplant requires strict adherence to the medical regime, programmed follow-up care, dietary restrictions, physical limitations, and family support. Uncertainty and unpredictability about the future were important concepts in this research. CONCLUSION: The study suggests heart transplant (HT) recipients need mental strength and specialized, focused psychosocial intervention besides preoperative and postoperative care during the transplant process.

Introduction: Noncommunicable chronic diseases are rising, causing disability and dependence in the ones who suffer from them, as well as the necessity of a caregiver. Chronicity is a concept which has been analyzed from the perspective of the ill, leaving a void in the comprehension of the meaning for the caregiver. Aim: To understand the meaning of chronicity for people with non transmissible chronic diseases and their informal caregivers. Materials and methods: Qualitative phenomenologicalhermeneutic investigation according to the Van Manen proposal, casual sampling orientated by criteria with the participation of 10 sick people and 9 caregivers. The rigor criteria of credibility and confirmability, reliability, and transferability guaranteed the quality of the study. Results: The next topics emerged: to offer and receive care as a love act, family union, facing the hardness, receiving, giving, and looking support, being aware, change of life, learning process, a company for whole life, imposing restrictions, limitations, and loss. Conclusions: The meaning of chronicity for caregivers and sick people is complex, dynamic, and multidimensional which is why it is important to realize interventions that help mitigate the impact in the life of the binomial.

This paper critiques extant research apropos the key value concepts, theories, and models. It aligns with scholars who have taken a hermeneutic approach. Many academics acknowledge that consumers' atitudes do not necessarily match their behaviour. This may result from their approach to value and/or their individual value-types. This paper critiques extant research apropos the key concepts, theories, and models pertaining to value. It draws on seminal authors to provide a concise overview of value perspectives, locations and processes. It critiques key discourses (namely Goods Dominant, Experiential, Resource Based and Customer Dominant) and considers value as a polysemic concept. This paper does not seek to establish value as a meta-narrative nor something that should be marbled through all papers. It simply seeks to provide a key underpinning which will support many researchers. It does not delve into value from a practice perspective nor into developments such as Service Dominant (SD) logic. It does, however, refer to the antecedents for both of these areas. Oldfashioned concepts such as value-giving and propositions still dominate the discourses in many business schools. Ultimately, value may be proposed, but it cannot be given. Only stakeholders can take a value as it 'resides' (only) in their minds. Primarily, value-seeking practices have had relatively litle research. Therefore, this study provides an opportunity to beter understand the distinction between the value being sought and its constituent value types. This review improves conceptualisation for those studying inter alia value, values, ethics, responsibility and sustainability. As a literature review, it lacks empirical testing. However, it provides key insights into the complex area of value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While Ricœur's œuvre is commonly known as hermeneutic philosophy, it is evident that he also deals with major problems dialectically - a discipline often put in opposition to hermeneutics. In this paper, I offer an interpretation of the relationship between dialectic and hermeneutic regarding Ricœur's early theory of the self, which he developed in the 1960s, beginning with the second volume of his Philosophie de la volonté, Finitude et Culpabilité. I argue that hermeneutic and dialectic refer to each other by combining a structural model of reflexive self-consciousness and a mediation of consciousness with a transcendent other. Only their interrelation allows for a sufficient theory of concrete reflexion.

Artikel ini membahas tentang proses transformasi gebyok Kudus sebagai elemen tradisi dan penerapannya pada berbagai konteks. Gebyok Kudus merupakan elemen tradisi Indonesia yang kerap dijumpai pada hunian maupun ruang publik dan telah mengalami penyesuaian dari masa ke masa. Penelitian terdahulu terkait gebyok membahas mengenai ragam hias dan makna, namun kajian mengenai proses transformasi gebyok pada masa lalu dan masa kini belum banyak dibahas. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika dan intertekstualitas untuk memersepsikan objek kajian dan mengkaji transformasi yang terjadi. Telaah lebih lanjut dilakukan terhadap data objek gebyok Kudus lama maupun baru melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara terhadap pemilik rumah, tokoh budaya setempat, dan pelaku industri ukir kayu untuk mengetahui latar belakang sosial budaya perubahan gebyok. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi proses transformasi dan transposisi gebyok Kudus yang ditunjukkan dengan adanya perubahan wujud, fungsi, makna, dan penempatan. Gebyok Kudus sebagai elemen tradisi yang sarat dengan simbolisme menjadi objek dengan makna yang berbeda secara estetika dan fungsi. Pemahaman ini memperlihatkan evolusi elemen tradisi arsitektur berdasarkan perubahan kebutuhan perancangan dari masa ke masa. This article explores the transformation process of Kudus gebyok as a traditional element based on hermeneutic and intertextuality. Kudus gebyok is an Indonesian traditional element that commonly found in domestic or public space which have adapted from time to time. Previous studies about gebyok have discussed about the various aesthetic and meanings of gebyok, but there is limited discussion on the transformation of gebyok from the past to the present. This study employs hermeneutics and an intertextual approach to explore gebyok as the object of study and its transformation process. Further exploration is done to new and older gebyok through observation, documentation, and interviews with house owners, local cultural figures, and local wood carving craftsmen to understand about the socio-cultural background of gebyok and its changes. This study identifies the transformation and transposition of Kudus gebyok that is demonstrated through changes in its form, function, meaning, and placements. Kudus gebyok as a traditional element is imbued with symbolism into objects with different meanings in terms of aesthetics and usage. Such understanding demonstrates the evolution of traditional architecture based on changes in design needs from time to time.

This article will discuss how hermeneutic influences the exegesis of the Qur’an initiated by Muslim feminists. Through hermeneutical principles, Muslim feminists develop their own theories and methods in presenting new interpretations of the Qur'an. This research will focus its discussion on one of the well-known Muslim feminists, Amina Wadud. Through a critical study of text analysis, this research will try to answer questions about (1) the necessity of using the hermeneutical method in feminist interpretation, (2) the influence of hermeneutics on Amina Wadud's method of interpretation. This paper will highlight this event using a socio-historical approach and content analysis. In addition, references related to the patterns of Islam integrity and culture will be used with a comparative pattern. The conclusion of this research is that through historical critical analysis tools and text criticism inspired by hermeneutical principles, Amina Wadud succeeded in creating her own interpretation method and developing an interpretation approach that is not gender biased and emphasizes the principal and universal messages contained in the Qur'an.

The article addresses the “lowest floors“ of reading skills, in an attempt to formulate assumptions as to the conditions that can be provided by school and family together, so that some reading difficulties may be overcome. In addition to “evidence”: qualitative research of particular aspects of reading as opposed to the overall act of reading, the “lowest floors” are also seen to include the skill level of the reader. Our work takes its bearings from the understanding that “closing gaps” inside the boundless field of various research on reading could be productive for educational practice, as well as that “upper floors”: interpretation skills, influence directly the identity formation of adolescents, such that they will be in their lives as adults. Given parental participation, we would be interested mainly in leverage points ways of compensating reading difficulties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The prevailing trend among members of the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa (AFM of SA) is to interpret the Bible in a biblicist and literalist way, which conflicts with how early Pentecostals read the Bible. Empirical research completed in 2020 supports the observation. In contrast, early Pentecostals read the Bible with the expectation of meeting God. Their precritical, canonical, and text-centered interpretation focused on the text inductively before they deductively compared it with related texts in a straightforward manner to formulate their teaching. The new generation of Pentecostals applied conservative Evangelical hermeneutics to focus on the world behind the text, using the historical-grammatical method to arrive objectively at the author's intended meaning. It was rooted in the Scottish Common-Sense school of philosophy in a synthesis with the Baconian method. Their new hermeneutic was based on a theory of inspiration that accepted that divine revelation terminated at the end of the first century, resulting in a discrepancy that conflicts with Pentecostals' expectation for extrabiblical revelations, miracles, and wonders to continue. The article aims to suggest an alternative hermeneutical approach that can constructively address the discrepancy, based on the recently developed scholarly hermeneutic that employs post-critical and postmodern approaches such as literary, reader-response, and advocacy hermeneutics. It utilizes quantitative research and a comparative literature study to realize the aim. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Emotional intelligence of nursing students helps them to adopt a healthy life style during stress.Coping is one of the wise choices of avoiding frustration which is the end product of stress and burnout. If individual want to handle the stress with effective and appropriate coping he or she should be an emotionally competent with high emotional intelligence. Methods: Participants were selected based on trait exhibited by particular group of interest. So adopted purposive homogenous sampling method for this study. After receiving informed oral consent students at Dhanvantri College of Nursing, Namakkal were adopted as participants for this study .With 5 participant’s data saturation point has been reached and preceded for the analysis. As this study aimed to explore the phenomenon of EI on coping strategy and to provide wide knowledge regarding the phenomenon there was a need to fuse individual’s subjective experience with the hermeneutic circle. So as this study design was Qualitative hermeneutic Phenomenological circle. Age and Birth order of the participants were demographic variable. To understand the concept of EI semi structured questions were framed on the basis of EI domains, all the verbatim reports were analysed by following interpretative phenomenological analysis and coping strategy of participants were expressed by the parent of the participants through mobile phone were recorded and analysed. Results:Participants with high emotional intelligence always deals the stress with their route cause and handle it easily in a problem focused style. Whereas Participants with low emotional intelligence deals stress with emotional focused strategy. And one more new concept (serendipity) were identified that birth order of the participants has greater influence on coping that is those born as second and fourth child shown problem focused coping strategy than the participant who born as first child.

Background: Traditional health practitioners (THPs) understand spirit possession as a cultural or religious spirit occupying a person, while the mental healthcare providers understand it as a mental illness. The different understanding is based on manifestations that mimic that of mental illness, such as seeing and hearing things that others cannot see or hear. Spirit possession holds different meanings in different cultures and religions that could be either beneficial or detrimental. Furthermore, spirit possession is understood as a channel of communication between the living and the dead or God or a supernatural phenomenon in which a spirit owns a person. Aim: This study explored and interpreted THPs’ understanding of spirit possession in Gauteng province, South Africa. Method: Hermeneutic phenomenology study explored and interpreted the THPs’ understanding of spirit possession in Gauteng province. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with 12 THPs who were selected through snowball sampling techniques. Data analysis followed Heidegger’s and Gadamer’s philosophies and Van Manen’s six steps of the analytic approach. Results: The findings revealed that THPs understood spirit possession as spiritual illness, ancestral calling and demonic spirit or witchcraft. Conclusion: Traditional health practitioners’ understanding of spirit possession could promote mental health and prevent mental illness by providing support to a spirit-possessed person and referral to mental healthcare services. Contribution: This study contributed that not all manifestations presented by persons with spirit possession are actual and clear-cut mental illness, but could be unwritten cultural and/ or religious illnesses that needs cultural and religious services also.

This study aims to trace the influence of hermeneutics in the theory of double movement. This theory is a new interpretive methodology initiated by Fazlurrahman in response to modernization. In addition, dissatisfaction with the methodology of classical scholarly exegesis is also the reason for this idea. After tracing this theory, it is found that there are several hermeneutic schools behind this theory. Therefore, in the implementation of the double movement theory, controversial legal products are often produced considering that in hermeneutics there is no definite law. While in Islam there are rules that are definite and cannot change the law. With this critical analysis-style research, it is hoped that we can understand and assess the effectiveness of the double movement theory in the treasures of contemporary interpretation.

Phenomenon: The construct of professionalism in undergraduate medical education is a core outcome that is included in the wider concept of professional identity formation. The former is grounded in the more general concept of identity, intended as an internalized set of role expectations. Some have proposed frameworks based on psychological or sociological approaches, but empirical research is still scarce and often limited to the exploration of the role of specific learning activities. The pandemic imposed adaptations that produced an artificial setting for a social experiment, suitable to observe how the deprivation of the social component of a student's life, such as in presence teaching and practical training, unveiled the elements and determinants of the developing identity of medical students. Approach: This research was the extension of a previous phenomenological study about medical students' lived experience of distance learning during the lockdown phase in Italy. We adopted a hermeneutic approach to furtherly deepen the analysis of the phenomenon at stake, in dialogue with the relevant literature. Eight 6th year medical students underwent an in-depth interview, themes were inductively generated and used to identify elements and determinants of the developing identities. Findings: Four themes developed, synthetized in the overarching theme "From crawling to standing on your feet and walking toward an uncertain future". The themes were: "social places and practices that make me feel like a student and a medical student", "toward self-regulation", "an emotional journey", "threats to the identity". The elements of the perceived identity as a medical student were autonomy and learning self-regulation, professional knowledge, competence, and sense of belonging to a community. The determinant factors which influenced the identity as a medical student were living environment, learning spaces and architectures, the social networks, the attendance of the healthcare facilities, the relationship with teachers, the social acknowledgement as a medical student, and as a doctor. Insights: It was possible to identify the generation of both constitutive elements of identity and determinants influencing identity development and this distinction is an added value of the research. According Gilles Deleuze's concept of "empty square" (the sudden lack of an object one used to have at hand: sociality in this case), this research highlighted the ambivalent nature of identity. Individualization and socialization are the "uneven sides" of that same paradoxical object which is identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study of religion from a Jungian perspective has been expanding in Brazil. The Jungian hermeneutic method is still little known. Thus, the article is characterized as theoretical, gathering important concepts in Jungian psychology, explaining how the symbolic hermeneutic method works, and discussing new methodological perspectives in Jungian research in dialogue with the contemporary world. The study also deals with the theme of religion, providing key concepts about the sacred. The results/analysis are related to the method of symbolic amplification of the narratives of São João do Guarani, a popular saint of the forest, worshipped in the Chico Mendes extractive reserve in Xapuri, Acre state. Mythical and symbolic metaphors are then applied to the narratives, considering the conceptual issue of archetype and collective unconscious, evoking the primary analogies and images that the tales produce.

The study that uses descriptive qualitative method with hermeneutic approach aims to reveal the form, significance, and function of the "vunja" ritual. The result shows that there are eight forms of the ritual, such as molibu, mompelohi, mompanggahe, mompayo ada-ada manusia, mombangu vunja, mompanau ntoniasa, rego, and patompo manu. We discovered that vunja rituals have two significant meanings, verbal and nonverbal symbols. Whereas, we also discovered the significance of the rituals as (1) a sign of respect for the ancestor who bestowed a bountiful harvest, (2) an offering to the ancestor in the hope of future harvests, (3) a forum mutual cooperation of the local community for the swift implementation of the vunja ritual, and (4) a means for the vunja community members to interact with one another. Abstrak Penelitian yang menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan hermeneutik ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap bentuk, makna, dan fungsi ritual vunja. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bentuk ritual vunja terdiri atas delapan tahapan, yaitu molibu, mompelohi, mompanggahe, mompayo ada-ada manusia, mombangu vunja, mompanau ntoniasa, rego, dan patompo manu. Makna yang terkandung dalam ritual vunja adalah makna simbol verbal dan makna simbol nonverbal. Sementara itu, fungsi ritual vunja adalah (1) sebagai bentuk penghargaan kepada nenek moyang yang telah memberikan hasil panen yang berlimpah, (2) bentuk persembahan dengan harapan diberikan hasil yang lebih baik lagi pada musim tanam berikutnya, (3) wadah gotong royong masyarakat setempat untuk kelancaran pelaksanakan ritual vunja, dan (4) wadah menjalin interaksi antara masyarakat yang melaksanakan vunja dengan kerabat yang datang dari desa lain.

Villa Sánchez, José Alfonso. Reality, Intellection and Truth in Zubiri. Reality, intelligence and truth make up what can well be called a hermeneutic circle, since each one of them, seen as moments, can be understood and explained only and best in terms of the other two. Why is that? Because this circularity goes beyond the hermeneutical: it is metaphysical and noological, insofar as each moment belongs to the others on the basis of the constitution of its own essence: each one is, only with respect to the other two. In order to show this, I will first clarify what reality is; then I will define what knowing is; and finally, I will explain what logos is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In literary studies, novels carry various ideological values, such as national ideology. Empirical evidence shows that national ideologies can influence and shape regimes nationally and internationally. One of the manifestations of national ideology can be actualized in literary works such as novels and short stories. This research aims to examine the value of nationality in the works of Leila S. Chudori by using the hermeneutic method formulated by Paul Ricoeur. This research is descriptive qualitative research, and the data used are Leila S. Chudori's works, namely 2 novels and 2 short story collections. Meanwhile, data analysis techniques are carried out in three basic stages of hermeneutics formulated by Ricoeur (1975): understanding, discussion, and interpretation. The results show that Leila S. Chudori's works have succeeded in entering the deepest aspects of national values, including psychological, sociological, and historical aspects. The narration in the plot, characters, and themes in Leila S. Chudori's works are able to articulate national values through the characters presented by the author. The narration is related to the memory of Indonesia, love for Indonesia, pride in Indonesia, and Indonesian identity.

This article highlights an intersection between hermeneutics and education by assuming as its ground the philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer. Its objective is to think, in a purposeful manner, how philosophical hermeneutics can, as "practical knowledge", contribute for discussing the formative-educational experi-ence in its dialogical and transforming feature. Starting from hermeneutics critique over technical-scientific rationality and its expansion through social life, some conceptual-hermeneutical cores (comprehension, experience, tradition and dialogue), which are relevant for the research on teaching-learning process and the educational phenomenon. The thesis "teaching as teaching oneself" is developed as a dialogical experience with the world, effectual fusion of horizons and in the perspective of rethinking formative and methodological dynamics in educational experiences, properly contextualizedes.

Background: Middle managers play a key role in promoting a caring culture in nursing homes. However, there is limited knowledge about middle managers' inner motives and their experiences of their responsibility in developing a caring culture. Research aim: The aim of the study is to get a deeper understanding of middle managers' motives and their experiences of their responsibility to develop a caring culture in nursing homes. Research design: A qualitative design with a hermeneutic approach inspired by Gadamer was chosen which guided the interpretation of data. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted. Participants and research context: Data were collected from thirteen middle managers in nursing homes, in six municipalities in northern Norway in September and October 2021. Ethical considerations: The study was approved by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data. Oral and written informed consent was obtained from participants. Findings: The findings show that the middle managers had non- egoistic motives to promote a caring culture as expressed in their attitudes and actions. They felt responsible to promote a caring culture where both patients and staff experienced care and were respected and recognized as unique individuals. Middle managers as good role models are responsible for being present and raising awareness of the importance of care in the nursing home culture by systematically reflecting on care values. However, a strong focus on the financial and administrative demands limits the middle managers' possibilities to promote a caring culture and prevented them from always acting as they wanted to act, which often causes moral distress. Conclusion: Being in contact with inner motives, enables the leader to promote a homelike and caring culture where both patients and staff feels respected and recognized as unique individuals. This study highlights the importance of systematic reflection on caring values in nursing homes which leads to value awareness among all actors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Schmemann's harsh judgement of the antiphons of Holy Friday matins invites us to consider the role of hymnography in the liturgical celebration. By analysing the historical context of the appearance of the antiphons – according to the methodology proposed by Schmemann – it is possible to consider the way in which these hymns make use of scriptural material by means of patristic intertextuality. The hymns privilege some biblical interpretations in order to encourage the believer to join in the participation in the Kingdom. This parenetic bias, however, often masks the eschatological message contained in the hymns themselves, and even degenerates into denunciatory rhetoric. It is then necessary to recontextualize the functions of hymnography to actualize it, especially by questioning its relationship to Scripture in order to refocus on the theological message.

The present study examines the extent of raters' co-equal engagement and accuracy perceptions in a communal writing assessment (CWA) context, where raters collaborate to reach final scores on student scripts. Results from recorded discussions between experienced CWA raters when they deliberated to reach a final score supplemented with their retrospective reports show that, although some raters were more verbose than their co-raters, they displayed signs of co-equal engagement and reached what they perceived to be the most accurate scores possible for the student scripts. This study supports a hermeneutic approach to examining validity in writing assessment. Keywords: CWA, score accuracy, hermeneutic, co-equal, collaborative assessment, score negotiation.

The most crucial problem in analyzing problematic violence in Islam is when relating it with text religion. Problematic violence will appear more paradoxical and crucial when trying to legitimize al-Qur'an. When violence and terrorism get legitimacy from al-Qur'an, it will lead to a very risky conclusion; namely, Islam supports violence and terrorism. This is where the hermeneutics of Jurgen Habermas tries to review the problem of interpretation of these verses, especially concerning the theory of communication actions which will be used as an analytical knife in this study. The problem formulation is; how to read verse jihad without using instrumental interpretation and more developed paradigm communicative hermeneutics. The result of this research is that Jurgen Habermas's view will presuppose the formation of an intersubjective relationship in social society. The act of communication aims to reach an understanding between individuals. In relation to religious tolerance, the expected communication is a dialogue in reaching agreement on claims of accuracy in the underlying values ​​of each religion on how to build agreement on each religion and that peace is beautiful and violence is terrible. This claim necessitates an interactive dialogue that explores holistic religious values but avoids discussing truth claims considered non-negotiable religious doctrines. When it is applied in the interpretation of the jihad verse, the conclusion that we hope for is the jihad verse cannot abolish the universal value contained in the peace verse.

Abstract Aims The aim of this hermeneutic study was to explore and elucidate the lived experiences of young people living with type 1 diabetes in terms of their everyday life and school in Sweden. Design A qualitative interview study with a hermeneutic approach inspired by Gadamer's thinking. Methods Interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of seven girls and three boys with type 1 diabetes between January and September 2017 and analysed with a hermeneutic method. Results Young peoples' everyday lives were transformed and re‐organized by their illness and they parodically live a double‐edged everyday life. To support young people's healthcare personnel, headmasters and teachers must understand this double‐edged situation.

Introduction: Nightmares are prevalent parasomnia associated with various forms of psychological distress in both the clinical and general population. The aim of the current study was to explain the experiences of the client regarding the effects of nightmares and the process of dream analysis treatment on idiopathic nightmares.Methods: In this qualitative study, the client was a 34-year-old woman who participated in 8 sessions of dream analysis treatment. Based on DSM-5, she had the criteria of a nightmare. Rich data were collected from her. The hermeneutic method was used to collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data. This study used a simple method to perform the hermeneutic analysis that requires only one person while maintaining its validity.Results: The findings showed that the frequency of nightmares decreased during the treatment. The client changed significantly during the treatment, and the dream analysis was also responsible for this change. According to Bohart’s criteria, the client changed with at least 72% confidence and with 87% confidence this change in relation to external factors happened as a result of the treatment. Useful therapeutic factors included examining the hidden meaning of nightmares, expressing emotions, self-awareness, and reducing helplessness.Conclusion: The results of the interventions showed that treatment processes made changes in the client that were unexpected and important to her and these changes would not have happened without the treatment. This method, in addition to exposing the person to the content of the nightmare, leads to the discovery and decoding of the content of the nightmare and understanding of its message to resolve conflicts.

The Shiite political thought experienced new evolutions with the entrance of new concepts and thoughts in the Constitutionalism period. One of those evolutions was the scholars’ effort to explain and describe the conditions and foundations of legitimacy of the right to ‘freedom’ which had little record in the Shiite political thought up to that era. Mirza Muhammad Hussein Naʾini, one of the constitutionalist scholars of that day, attempted to offer a new reading of that concept. Accordingly, the present study uses Skinner’s hermeneutic method to investigate Ayatollah Naʾini’s political thought regarding freedom and answer the following question: “In which practical and ideological ground was Naʾini’s view on freedom formed?” The findings of the study show that the ideological grounds of that thought have been formed by the non-religious texts of the constitutionalist intellectuals on the one hand, and the religious texts of jurists opposing constitutionalism on the other hand. Similarly, its practical ground must be looked for inside the despotism of the Qajar rulers and constitutional revolution. Due to being placed inside such grounds, Naʾini negates despotism in Islam by proposing freedom and conceptual expansion of ḥurriyat (freedom), proving freedom as a divine right of the Muslims from the religious viewpoint. This conceptual reading prepares the round for getting away from inconsistency between freedom and Shariʿa in Naʾini’s political thought.

The contemporary Qur'anic studies have been marked by amazing development. Various methods and approaches to understand the Qur'an are offered by the scholars. One of the prominent figures in this field is Nashr Hamid Abu Zayd. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd (1943-2010 M) is a highly controversial contemporary thinker. He is an Egyptian scholar who is accused of being apostate, because of his theory of qur'anic hermeneutic (the textual of Qur'an). This is reflected in his stances towards contemporary religious discourse and the approach to reading religious texts, especially the Quran, which requires reading according to a hermeneutic mechanism. His books 'Naqd al-Khitab al-Dini (Criticism of Religious Discourse)' and 'Al-Takfir fi Zaman al-Takfir (Thinking in the Time of Atonement)' caused a great uproar in the early nineties of the last century. Abu Zayd was accused of criticising atheists because of their stances on the text. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss Abu Zayd's position on contemporary religious discourse and his new approach to reading religious texts, and also aims to discuss why Abu Zayd's theory has been string up Islamic world and ending by his expulsive from his native country. To deal with this problem, this article discusses Abd Zayd's biography and some cultural framework of his people. The methodology of Qur'anic hermeneutic is the least his. Having examined the topic, the author finds that Abu Zayd believes that modem literary theory and criticism denote the way to understand and interpret the Qur'an 'objectively'. The contribution of this research is discussing Abu Zayd's contemporary religious discourse and his new approach to reading religious texts. Contribution: The contribution of this research is discussing Abu Zayd's contemporary religious discourse and his new approach to reading religious texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Nurse team leaders encounter considerable ethical challenges that necessitate using effective strategies to overcome them. However, there is a lack of research exploring the experiences of nurse team leaders in Indonesia who face ethical dilemmas in their professional duties. Objective: This study aimed to explore nurse team leaders’ experiences regarding strategies and challenges in dealing with ethical problems in hospital settings in Indonesia. Methods: This qualitative study employed a hermeneutic phenomenology design. Online semi-structured interviews were conducted between November 2021 and February 2022 among 14 nurse team leaders selected using a snowball sampling from seven hospitals (three public and four private hospitals). Van Manen’s approach was used for data analysis. Results: The strategies for overcoming ethical dilemmas included (i) seeking the facts, (ii) stepping back, (iii) considering support, and (iv) standing by patients. The challenges for the nurse team leaders in resolving ethical problems consisted of (i) seniority, (ii) trust issue, and (iii) lack of reflection and ethics training. Conclusion: Nurse team leaders recognize their specific roles in the midst of ethical challenges and seek strategies to deal with them. However, a negative working environment might impact ethical behavior and compromise the provision of quality care. Therefore, it is imperative for hospital management to take note of these findings and address issues related to seniority by providing regular ethics training and group reflection sessions to maintain nurses' ethical knowledge in hospital practice. Such interventions can support nurse team leaders in resolving ethical dilemmas and provide a conducive environment for ethical decision-making, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Aim: To explore and interpret relationships that influence caring in nursing leadership, in the context of Nordic municipal health care, from first‐line nurse managers' perspectives. Design and method: We chose a visual hermeneutic design. A three‐stage interpretation process outlined by Drew and Guillemin, based on Rose, was used to analyse drawings and the following reflective dialogue from three focus groups, with a purposive sample of 11 first‐line nurse managers. The study was conducted from February to May 2018. Results: The findings demonstrated that first‐line nurse managers struggled to balance their vision with administrative demands. Caring for patients implied caring for staff; however, they often felt as if they were drowning in contradictory demands. First‐line nurse management could be a lonely position, where the first‐line nurse managers longed for belonging based on increased self‐awareness of their position within an organisation. Superiors' support enabled first‐line nurse managers' in their primary aim of caring for patients. Conclusion: First‐line nurse managers showed deep roots to their identities as nurses. Caring for patients included caring for staff and was their main concern, despite demanding reforms and demographic changes affecting leadership. Superiors' support was important for FLNMs' self‐confidence and independence in leadership, so the first‐line nurse managers can enact their vision of the best possible patient care. This study adds knowledge of the significance of caring in nursing leadership and the caritative leadership theory. Impact: In order to recognise FLNMs as vulnerable human beings and provide individual confirmation and support, a caring organisational culture is needed. FLNMs need knowledge based on caring and nursing sciences, administration and participation in formal leadership networks. These findings can serve as a foundation for developing educational programmes for nurse leaders at several organisational levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work that we have the honour to present here in its first Italian translation is a short essay published by Carl Schmitt in the first half of the ‘10s in the German Journal Die Rheinlande and titled Don Quixote and the public (1912). A very brief but at the same time dense piece of literary criticism in which the future Kronjurist of the Third Reich, in those years still engaged in his legal practice, offers to the readers a juvenile proof of his vastly and heterogeneous interests, trying to determine which is the proper interpretation of the renowned masterpiece of Miguel de Cervantes: Don Quixote of the Mancha. A juvenile work, therefore, in which Schmitt, as we will try to highlight in the introduction that accompanies the translation, offers an interpretation of the novel and particularly of its main character focusing on the contraposition between the level of the simple reading and that of erudite valorisation, applying a methodology similar to that he used in the coeval Law and Judgement (1912) that in some ways anticipate the critique of Romanticism that he will develop just a few years later in Political Romanticism (1919).
