In Paul Auster’s The Music of Chance and Mr. Vertigo, characters who resemble free individuals turn into slaves. In both novels, the major characters find meaning in life by willingly submitting to a superior power. Both characters who exhibit traits of passivity become slaves as they experience weightlessness or levitation. This article uses a qualitative approach and thematic analysis to identify and analyze the theme of slavery in the two novels. It explores Nash’s reliance on chance, his fear of freedom, and his potential for becoming a slave, and examines the relationship between master and slave in Mr. Vertigo from a liberal humanist point of view. This study is the first of its kind to explore the theme of slavery in Auster’s novels. Furthermore, it delves into the metaphoric meaning of levitation. While Walt and Nash appear as free agents, they are in fact slaves. Instead of clarifying the real imbalance in the relationship between the characters, the texts conceal and romanticize their master-slave associations. Paradoxically, the masters are portrayed as comic characters in The Music of Chance, and Nash feels free when he is imprisoned. Moreover, in Mr. Vertigo, the master who tortures Walt physically and mentally is portrayed as a father figure and a sympathetic character. The texts valorize weightlessness, passivity, and submission to a superior power, and thus can be considered reactionary.

Objective: In Australia, there is little evidence exploring why higher degrees by research (HDRs) are undertaken by surgeons. This study aims to describe the attitudes and experiences of surgical trainees and surgeons towards HDRs. Methods: A 23-question cross-sectional survey of surgical trainees and consultant surgeons from three Australian public hospitals was undertaken between August and December 2022. Data were analysed according to stage of career and HDR status and assessed using chi-squared test, with P < 0.05 considered significant. Results: Out of 270 participants, 72 (27%) completed the survey including 30 (42%) trainees and 42 (58%) consultants. Overall, 43 (60%) participants had completed or were undertaking a HDR, which was similar between trainees (n = 18) and consultants (N = 25; P = 0.968). A HDR was associated with more publications (P < 0.5). Respondents with a HDR were more likely to have a salaried academic position (50%) than those without (15%). There was no significant difference in academic appointments based on HDR attainment (P = 0.192). For surgical trainees, 93% rated the strengthening of resumes as the primary driver, compared with only 60% of consultants. For consultants, academic career aspirations and research interests were ranked the highest at 64% equally. Lack of time and competing nature of surgical training were equally ranked among all as the key barriers to completing a HDR. Conclusions: These results provide insight into the academic pursuits of surgeons with an understanding of the role HDRs play, including the different drivers for Masters and Doctorates. This is important for supporting future surgeons who seek to pursue research. What is known about the topic? The value of research is well-recognised as a crucial part of the surgical training pathway. Despite this, minimal contemporary evidence exists which explores the impact of higher degrees by research (HDR) on academic career pathways in the Australian context. What does this paper add? Contemporary evidence was obtained to understand why Australian surgeons undertake HDRs and how their completion impacts the surgical career pathway. What are the implications for practitioners? By understanding the role of HDRs in the surgical landscape, practitioners can ensure beneficial support for future academic surgeons is in place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Sleep–wake circadian disorders (SWCDs) are very frequent and linked to major negative effects on the body, mental health, the brain, and on occupational and societal health. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of SWCDs and the promotion of sleep health require the sufficient education of general practitioners, specialists, and other health professionals. Unfortunately, education at pre- and postgraduate level is insufficient in most countries across the world. Aims and methods: This article describes the historical context, basic considerations, and methodological approach for the creation of the International Postgraduate Sleep Master by the University of Bern and Svizzera Italiana. Results: The postgraduate Master, which was launched in 2017, is a part-time, flexible course, taken over 2 ½ years, which targets health professionals, scientists, and technicians. After an initial introduction, which is the same for everybody ("common trunk"), the course can be individualized. The 12 modules of the Master include online lectures, schools, internships in a sleep center (in one of our 15 partner universities), case discussions and interactive sessions with students and internationally recognized experts from over 20 countries across the world, and culminates with a Master thesis. The program covers sleep–wake circadian biology; the management of SWCDs; disturbances of consciousness and sleep-related epilepsies; novel approaches in sleep medicine (e.g., clinical trials, telemedicine, data science, artificial intelligence); and topics of increasing relevance (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders, gender and diversity, sleep health, new technologies, artificial intelligence, professional and societal implications). Students are encouraged to also take "crash courses" in preparation for the national, European, and World sleep examinations. Conclusion: The Postgraduate University Sleep Master of the Universities of Bern and Svizzera Italiana offers a unique part-time, (mainly) virtual opportunity to acquire state-of the art knowledge, skills, and professional experiences to prepare for a clinical or scientific career in sleep medicine for physicians, scientists, and other health professionals.

Research supervisors and their higher degree research (HDR) candidates – including Master, Professional Doctorate, and PhD candidates – make critical contributions to research and innovation. In addition to providing research training, research supervisors have traditionally also acted as the graduate employability practitioner for their HDR candidates through preparation for work in academia. However, the effectivness of traditional HDR training models (such as the knowledge transmission, master-apprentice model for PhD training) are being reviewed in Australia and elsewhere due to changes in the contemporary employment environment. These changes include: fewer available academic jobs; increased desire of HDR candidates for non-academic careers; and implementation of government policies aimed at increasing the return on research investment, including by increasing alignment of graduate attributes with contemporary employer needs. Consequently, work-integrated learning (WIL) activities are being incorporated into HDR degrees to broaden HDR training beyond acquisition of research-focussed skills. For effective incorporation of WIL into HDR degrees, recognition is needed of the different types and roles of graduate employability practitioners required by HDR candidates, as well as improvements to training support structures, and evolved metrics for assessment of supervisor and HDR candidate success.

In light of other countries experiences, the research tried to ascertain the perspectives of faculty members regarding the implementation of the (LMD) system in Egyptian universities. One of the core points that must be developed in any institution is the study system to meet the demands of society and accomplish its objectives. One of the most significant contemporary university systems that connects learning to the demands of the job market is the LMD system. It is a versatile system with the following features: mobility, readability, and transmission. Additionally, it emphasizes various methods of assessment and places the learner and student at the center of the educational process. The research was divided into three sections: The first was the general framework of the research; the second was the literature related the issue, and the third was the field study. The researcher outlined the study's problem, objectives, methodology, key definitions, and most significant previous research related to the current study. The literature was also presented by the researcher; it included an introduction to the LMD system, its main goals, related acts and regulations, and key characteristics, along with the evaluation techniques that are employed. Additionally, it included some experiences of different countries that implemented the LMD system into their educational system. The field study highlighted the faculty members’ perspectives towards implementing the LMD system. The descriptive analytical method was adopted using a questionnaire for the process of information gathering. The questionnaire included fifty-six items in order to describe and analyze the phenomenon of the research. This questionnaire was then administered to a sample of 370 faculty members in Egyptian universities. Some statistical methods were utilized to ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Findings confirmed the objectives of the research and revealed the importance of the system in achieving improvement in higher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the article is to show the unique relationship of master and disciple in the concept of Father Jacek Woroniecki. First, the characteristics of the master and his or her features were mentioned, then the profession of a teacher and educator was analyzed, with particular emphasis on the problem of underestimating this profession on the one hand, and on the other hand, showing the teacher’s qualities per Woroniecki’s writings. An important element of the article is the issue of requirements from the educator and the obedience of the student, because at this point Woroniecki’s pedagogy responds in a special way to the needs of contemporary culture permeated by permissiveness, arbitrariness and extreme freedom. The central part of the article refers to the master-disciple relationship and the conditions of this unique communication. Since the most effective and desirable educational method is witness, the analyses contained in the final part of the article focus on Father Woroniecki as an example, an authority, a master who, with his life, confirmed the fundamental theses that he proclaimed and included in his rich achievements focused on the process of human upbringing.

ABSTRACTThis study is aimed at understanding the Human–Nature Relationships (HNRs) in the Lower Mngeta and Upper Zigi catchments, as parts of Eastern Arc water catchment areas, in the United Republic of Tanzania. This study employed the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Norm-Activation Model (NAM) to understand the position of humans in the two catchments’ ecosystems. The study design involved Focus Group Discussions, Key Informant Interview, and Household Questionnaire Surveys. A total of 310 (185 males and 125 females) villagers were involved in this study. Furthermore, four HRN typologies, master over nature, partner with nature, a participant in nature, and steward of nature, were adopted. The study findings indicated that there was no significant difference (X2 test, p > 0.05) in HNRs between the two catchments. Moreover, master over nature typology was dominant in both catchments, with values of 59.4% (n = 200) and 59.5% (n = 85) in Lower Mngeta and Upper Zigi, respectively. The main reason is that HNR is dependent on the nature of the livelihood activities and the mode of subsistence of a particular community. It was also found that the communities in Lower Mngeta and Upper Zigi catchments are mostly dependent on agricultural and hunting activities that highly depended on the two catchment resources. This study, therefore, recommends an increase in the level of community participation in all decision-making activities, as well as an increase in environmental education for sustainable utilization and management of the two catchment resources.

In this article we intend to investigate the influence of Henrique Cláudio de Lima Vaz on the intellectual route of João Batista Libanio. For this, we took as a starting point the text "Lições do Mestre", written by Libanio. We will also examine the article "Cristianismo e pensamento utópico" and the review of the book Teologia da Libertação: roteiro didático para um estudo, both written by Lima Vaz. The aim is to investigate how Lima Vaz's influence marked Libano's own way of doing theology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research methodology includes a number of approaches: biographical - embracing the milestones of Ishtvan Ferentsovych's life; culture studies - characterising the specifics of the regional artistic life; historical - interpreting the social and political events of the locus; analytical - studying scientific sources on the aforementioned issue; systemic - mastering the spiritual foundations of the region as part of nationwide daily life; theoretical generalisation - formulating the conclusions of the study. Science novelty. For the first time ever in national art studies, Ishtvan Marton's chronicle has been interpreted from the perspective of revealing the significance of his practice for the flow of regional sociocultural processes in the 20th century. Conclusions. Ishtvan Marton's chronicles reflected the civilizational evolvement of Zakarpattia of the 20th century. Shaping the demiurge's personal and occupational features took place in earlier period when the territory used to be a part of the Czech Republic (1919-1939), the Hungarian Kingdom (1939-1944). The political situation contributed to the following: the master's West European artistic focusing; domination of humanistic values; openness to the achievements of various ethnic groups. An important role in the master's maturity was performed by family circumstances, communication with prominent local musicians, an opportunity of self-growth, active creativity practice. Late 20th century [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The traditional view in Paul's letter to Filemon that Onesimus was a fugitivus, a runaway-slave, was gradually abandoned in the twentieth century. Instead, many scholars contend that Onesimus went to Paul as amicus domini, a friend of the master, to ask him to intercede on Onesimus' behalf. However, there are some problems with this view. This article shows that the traditional view remains plausible, building on the letter itself and the Graeco-Roman context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Education is important for developing the competence and career of librarians, including women librarians. Currently, opportunities for continuing education are increasingly widespread for all professions. However, female librarians still often experience obstacles in continuing their Master's education both due to family and other factors. This study aims to determine the opportunities and obstacles of female librarians in continuing their Master's program studies to improve their competencies and careers. Method. This is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Informants are 8 female librarians who are currently pursuing a Master's education in Yogyakarta. The collected data will then be analyzed descriptively, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusions. Discussion. Women librarians have opportunities for career advancement, academic skill development, and librarian competence improvement. In addition, female librarians face several challenges, including financial ability, adaptation to scientific standards, and family management. Conclusion. Increasing abilities and expertise is the main factor for female librarians to continue their master's education. The challenges faced come from internal and external factors of their environment.

Didactics is a function of an educational system based on examination-observation of the people who participate in the process of teaching and learning. In the process of conveying knowledge this observation of a student by a teacher/master, and vice versa, every now and then builds a practice of independent thinking. On the one hand, the process enables the development of ideas, but, on the other hand, also distorts them and exposes a humanities student to the pitfall of ideology. In my reflections about the disassembly of ideas and deteriorating education I shall make use of the concept of cognitive bias, the polemic about the contemporary university (Bill Readings), the concept of Jacques Lacan’s discourses, Hannah Arendt’s findings about willing and ideology, and Niklas Luhmann’s assumptions of social systems theory understood as autopoietic systems of codified rules of operation.

Abstract Background Midwives’ contribution to improving outcomes for women and newborns depends on factors such as quality of pre-service training, access to continuing professional development, and the presence of an enabling work environment. The absence of opportunities for career development increases the likelihood that health professionals, including midwives, will consider leaving the profession due to a lack of incentives to sustain and increase motivation to remain in the field. It also limits the opportunities to better contribute to policy, training, and research. This study aimed to assess the influence of a Master in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) at the INFSS on midwives’ career progression in Mali. Methods This mixed methods study was conducted using an online questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and a document review. The study participants included graduates from two cohorts (N = 22) as well as employers, managers, and teachers of the graduates (N = 20). Data were analysed according to research questions, comparing, and contrasting answers between different groups of respondents. Results The study revealed that graduates enrolled in the programme primarily to improve their knowledge and skills in management and public health. The graduates’ expected roles are those of programme and health project manager and participation in planning and monitoring activities at national or sub-national level. The managers expected the programme to reflect the needs of the health system and equip midwives with skills in management and planning. The Master enhanced opportunities for graduates to advance their career in fields they are not usually working in such as management, research, and supervision. However, the recognition of the master’s degree and of the graduates’ profile is not yet fully effective. Conclusion The master’s degree in SRH is a capacity building programme. Graduates developed skills and acquired advanced knowledge in research and management, as well as a postgraduate degree. However, the master programme needs to be better aligned with health system needs to increase the recognition of graduates’ skills and have a more positive impact on graduates’ careers.

Objectives Over the years, the figure of the master has undergone significant transformations. The reasons vary. With the announced title, we would like to offer the reader a reflection on the need for a master in contemporary education and a reflection on the identification of contemporary challenges in this area. All this may be an opportunity to rediscover the need for a master in the current school and academic reality. Material and methods The person of the master is the subject of interest in social sciences and, above all, in pedagogy. Therefore, the basic research material in this work is the literature relating to the person of the master. For the issues we are interested in here, content analysis and a hermeneutical approach were used to interpret the text, taking into account theoretical premises, cultural contexts and pedagogical challenges. Results The basic expression of care for future generations is upbringing and education. However, you don't become a champion on credit or on trial. Therefore, a master means a person teaching others by passing on messages (content), introducing them to the world of values ​​and shaping competences and skills, including lifelong learning. Conclusions In upbringing and education, much depends on the teachers-educators themselves. When they are true champions, it will be easier for them to attract young people, and when they only practice their profession, it is difficult to expect positive results from their work. Being yourself and being a teacher (master) do not interfere with each other. The relationship of master and disciple is always a personal relationship.

The construction of general practitioner (GP) workforce has tended to be mature over recent years, but the overall insufficient competencies of GPs is still one difficulty to be tackled for the construction of GP workforce. Clinical reasoning plays a central role in connecting various abilities in competency training of GPs in China, which is the key to improving the quality of general medical services. To cultivate the clinical reasoning of GPs, Tongji University offers a compulsory course named Clinical Reasoning in General Practice for general practice master students. The course is framed using the Miller's pyramid framework, includes three parts of core module (containing inquiry ability, physical examination, auxiliary examination and patient-doctor communication) , case module (covering undifferentiated illnesses, chronic disease management, coexistence of multiple diseases, psychosomatic diseases and health management) and practice module (including patient reception practice and medical record writing) , which fully reflect the basic characteristics of GPs' competencies. The course requires 32 credit hours, and is taught in multiple forms, including theory teaching, class discussion, problem-based learning and practical sessions. The effectiveness of course learning is assessed using the objective structured clinical examination, which is divided into four test stations: medical history collection, physical examination, patient-doctor communication and wring SOAP notes. Compared with relevant previous courses with separation between course design and actual community services, this course fully reflects the characteristics of general medicine, and helps students to enhance their competencies via improving the level of clinical reasoning.

Gamification within courses has offered great opportunities for students to engage further into the course material. Traditionally, gamification is used with one or two elements of a course. This study investigated full course gamification of a Second Language (L2) classroom, which has not been explored heavily within research. The researchers used a constructivist grounded theory methodology to deepen the understanding of the student perception and possible impact of a full course gamification. Course curriculum, including textbook and assignments, remained the same for the 71 students enrolled in the L2 classes. The pedagogical approach to the course organization was gamified. Participants responded to open-ended questionnaires at the beginning and end of the course. The data from the questionnaire was coded line by line to deduce categories and then themes. Overall, students experienced higher levels of mastery learning, engagement, motivation, and lower levels of stress. This study demonstrates successful implementation of gamification as a course organizing principle, which should continue to be explored in future research.

In this article, I analysed the history of the occurrence of one lexeme in Polish in the last 200 years: master (pol. mistrz). With data from Polish language corpora, I traced its frequency and examined its semantics and its transformations. Corpus analyses confirmed the semantic shifts taking place – from the meaning of ‘teacher, guide’ to the meaning of sport; also revealed a new – ironic – semantic shade of the analysed word. The second aim of the article was to develop postulates for corpus-based semantic research. These are: firstly, semantic analyses should be carried out on relatively small corpora; secondly, there is an urgent need to develop a (semi-)automatic tool for semantic analysis on corpus data (the linguistic basis for computer science work in this direction can be found here in the mental dictionary of A. Wierzbicka).

La educación secundaria avanza en un mundo complejo y cambiante, donde las emociones del alumnado y profesorado cada vez juegan un papel más relevante. En España, el Máster Oficial de Formación del Profesorado, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Idiomas, habilitante para la docencia, creado tras la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE), en el 2006, no incluye contenido específico sobre la labor docente, las competencias socioemocionales o las herramientas tecnopedagógicas actuales, en un entorno de aprendizaje que implica que el estudiantado adopte un papel más activo y que la docencia actúe como guía o facilitadora de ese proceso. Este estudio recoge la opinión de 220 docentes de secundaria, en activo, sobre su formación específica en dichas habilidades y la necesidad de incluirlas en la oferta regular del máster, lo que corrobora la ausencia de esa instrucción y la necesidad de incluirla. Estos datos respaldan el uso efectivo de metodologías activas en el aula, así como de las teorías que indican lo urgente de incorporar la competencia socioemocional en la preparación docente; de igual modo, ofrecen la perspectiva del profesorado y algunas ideas sobre por qué esa competencia es esencial con alumnado de secundaria, para su futuro desarrollo personal y laboral.

Este artículo aborda la relevancia del aprendizaje significativo en la educación, destacando la perspectiva teórica de Ausubel (1978) que surge en los años setenta. A pesar de no ser una corriente reciente, la implementación de este enfoque no es habitual, y los docentes universitarios continúan utilizando métodos mecánicos y repetitivos que relegan al estudiante a un papel pasivo. Todo ello a pesar de que en el ámbito de las ciencias de la salud se enfatiza la necesidad de cambiar paradigmas en la enseñanza y aprendizaje, y reconocer que los nuevos aprendizajes se generan en contextos significativos y se conectan con los saberes previos de los estudiantes. Motivados por esta premisa, el equipo de autores realizó una investigación para indagar sobre el concepto y la aplicabilidad que un grupo de estudiantes de máster en Educación Médica otorgan al aprendizaje significativo. La metodología empleada incluyó una encuesta con preguntas abiertas para comprender el alcance y la aplicabilidad de este concepto en la práctica clínica docente, mediante un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, utilizando una encuesta de preguntas abiertas sobre la escasa implementación del aprendizaje significativo, los antecedentes sobre la prevalencia de métodos transmisionistas así como la percepción y aplicación de este enfoque. Los resultados destacan la resistencia a la implementación del aprendizaje significativo, evidenciando la prevalencia de métodos tradicionales. Se presentan cifras cuantitativas que respaldan estas observaciones, subrayando la necesidad de un cambio en las prácticas docentes. Este estudio propone soluciones para fomentar el aprendizaje significativo en la educación médica y destaca las implicaciones y aplicaciones de los resultados en la práctica clínica docente.

This text intertwines the instances of truth, history and fiction. The unique conditions of each of these three instances converge in a more pragmatic field when considering their impact on the plane of immanence of the Master, a conceptual character that in some Lacanian formulations is represented by the term S1 – in an attempt to allude to the function of a precedent signifier related to a chain of signifiers that follows it. Through a bibliographical investigative method, we sustain the question: can we conceive alternative epistemologies for the conceptual and clinical practice of a psychoanalysis that assumes this Master, S1, as a production in an après-coup? Inherently, a second question arises: what are the potentialities of reclaiming a conceptual psychoanalytical corpus from the connection with studies on gender, coloniality and racial relations – and how this operation can offer optimal deviations to the field of psychoanalytic thought?

A modern Master of technical areas and specializations deals with solving technical issues at enterprises and performing complex engineering projects. The main activity of the Master is the pursuit of maximum energy and resource conservation policies at industrial enterprises. The latter is achieved by deep study of issues related to calculations, design and engineering of technological equipment units for the production of semi-finished products and their distribution between production technologies. The expansion of industrial production based on advanced technology requires the involvement of a number of modern innovative equipment in the technological cycle, providing a high parametric level of production processes and optimal conditions, which in turn create the prerequisites for obtaining high -quality products. The ability to develop, implement new projects and evaluate their impact and significance on technological and economic growth independently is a necessary competence of each graduate Master. In the process of Master's education, the most important aspect of training specialists is the study of disciplines of a calculating nature, which are considered in the article as the basis of the professional competencies of a graduate Master. Another important aspect of the successful study of such disciplines is the presence of basic knowledge in previous and related disciplines. The result of the implementation of calculating courses of education should be an increase in the quality of student training in master programs.

The Figure of the Slave as an Ethical Paradigm in the Work of Agamben: There is an extensive history of reflections on the nature of slavery and the dehumanising politics surrounding it. Rarely, however, is the figure of the slave proposed as a paradigm for the good life. Yet this is precisely how it occurs in the later work of controversial Italian thinker Giorgio Agamben. This counter-intuitive approach has invited various types of criticism. This article argues that, although limited and historically deficient in its treatment of slavery, Agamben's revaluation is nonetheless allied with the decolonial call for a new consciousness liberated of 'colonial logics' and a new relation to the environment. The radical intuition guiding Agamben is that, as long as we recognise in the slave only the figure of the abject and the dehumanised, we unwittingly value human life from the viewpoint of the master, which is one of the fundamental 'errors' that keeps systematic exclusion and institutional violence in place.

This commentary introduces a new clinical trial construct, the Master Observational Trial (MOT), which hybridizes the power of molecularly based master interventional protocols with the breadth of real-world data. The MOT provides a clinical venue to allow molecular medicine to rapidly advance, answers questions that traditional interventional trials generally do not address, and seamlessly integrates with interventional trials in both diagnostic and therapeutic arenas. The result is a more comprehensive data collection ecosystem in precision medicine.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yüksek lisans tezlerinde son bölüm olan sonuç ve önerileri metinde tutarlılık bağlamında inceleyerek sunulan önerilerin kimler için olduğunu belirlemek ve önerilerin çalışma sonuçlarıyla bağlarını sağlayan gönderim ifadelerini takip edebilmektir. Bu amaçla, Türkçe öğretimi alanında 2022 yılında tamamlanarak YÖKSİS veri tabanında Türkçe öğretimi alanında yer alan 12 yüksek lisans tezi belirlenmiş ve inceleme nesnesi olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, öncelikle, hazırlanan tezlerdeki önerilerin hangi hedef kitle için oluşturulduğu ve daha sonra öneri ifadelerinin sonuç bölütüne gönderimlerinin ne şekilde gerçekleştirildiği araştırılmıştır. Zira akademik yazma ilkeleri ve genel tez yazım formatı doğrultusunda hazırlanan tezlerin aynı zamanda uzun ve kapsamlı birer metin olduğu düşünüldüğünde, metinsellik ölçütleri kapsamında da ele alınmaları gerekmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda yapılan inceleme sonucunda, hazırlanan tezlerde toplam 72 adet öneri maddesi olduğu önerilerin ise en yüksek sıklıkla “öğreticiye” dönük olduğu belirlenmiştir.

This essay aims to make a biblical-theological analysis of Col. 4:1 in which Paul speaks about the responsibility of masters to treat their servants justly and fairly. This study uses a critical historical method while taking into account the sociological context of the biblical text (a sociological approach). Based on textual analysis, Col. 4:1 lies in a sequence of rules that govern the relationships between household members (Col 3:18-4:6), namely the relationship between husband and wife (3:18-19), parents and children (3:20-21), and the last is master and servant (3:22-4:1). Based on a sociological approach, this study finds that the Colossian Christian community had servants, and that’s why the treatment of servants became an unavoidable topic in good household management. The relationship between master and servant needs to be clarified from a Christian point of view. The instructions in Col. 4:1 are to say that the master is responsible for treating the servants justly and fairly, that is, doing what is right with his servant. Haustafeln also contains a Christological orientation because they aim to place the household under Christ, as all life must be subject to Christ.

The objective of the article is to analyze the genesis and age transformation of the artist's biography; to distinguish the role of a creative personality's chronicle in the late 21st century; to justify its significant role implementing the anthropological concepts of the period. Research methodology: systemic - by comprehensive solution of the research issues with the involvement of science and methodological elaborations of humanitarian study; culture studies - by identifying the mutual relations between public and spiritual processes; historical - by the grasp of the specifics of the chronicle's establishment and development; comparative - by comparing the biographies of various centuries; analytical - by considering sources in accordance with the publication issue; theoretical generalization - by summarizing the research results. The article is dedicated to considering the artist's biography of the Postmodernism epoch. The Postmodernism synthesized elaborations of the preceding eras and on that basis altered the established views on the chronicle's essence. The genre obtains new functions, i.e. communicative, civilizational, synergetic, etc.; it reveals the era's controversies having occurred due to the lack of moral ideals, ethics and aesthetics canons and personified leaders. The key task of the biography is realizing the macrocosm structure through recognizing the microcosm of a nonordinary profile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to retrace the main lines of the first theology of tradition elaborated by Irenaeus of Lyon. For him, traditio refers to an action : “the act of transmitting”, “the process by which one transmits” rather than the content transmitted. In the context of the emergence of Gnostic deviances, how does he define tradition and how is tradition a dynamic principle for the Church according to him ?
