In Her Image: Christ And The Female Body In Women’S Religious Poetry Of The Golden Age

Sapiens Ubique Civis , 2021

The main debate regarding Jewish soldiers serving in the Roman armies is still focused on the question whether these Jews actually existed. Unfortunately, this debate is not only limited, but at times it also misses the larger picture. The current article will conclusively show that Jews served in the Roman armies, even in large numbers, and that the main debate we must conduct is whether they served in accordance with their percentage of the general population, or even in higher numbers. Furthermore, the article will irrefutably prove that Jewish military service was a continuous phenomenon from the last decades of the Republic until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5 th century AD, and possibly continued, to some extent, in the Eastern Roman Empire until the first half of the 6th century AD.

Commonly the ban on consuming pork has been considered evidence of the importance of dietary prohibitions in establishing boundaries between Israel and neighboring groups. I argue, however, that differentiation from other ethnicities by means of diet was not the only function that the pig prohibition served in ancient Israel. In fact, the relevant biblical texts are as much, if not more, concerned with employing the pig prohibition as a device by which cultic norms as well as dietary customs within the Israelite community were standardized. With the accounts of the Maccabean rebellion in the second century BCE, the pig assumes a greater signi cance in identity formation, but even in these traditions, the relationship between pig avoidance and ethnic boundaries is more complex than is o en assumed. Detailed analysis of the references to the pig in Lev 11, Deut 14, Isa 56-66, and 1 and 2 Maccabees, along with the study of archaeological evidence and comparative materials from the ancient Near East and ancient Mediterranean more broadly, reveals the multiplicity of factors that shaped the emergence of pig avoidance as a central custom in ancient Judaism.

Según tú, ¿dónde está Dios?-En el texto.-Pero si él es impronunciable.-Justamente!! (Diálogo imaginado entre Platón y un cabalista) Históricamente la escritura propiamente dicha comenzó en Sumeria hace más de 5 mil años. Ella se desarrolló desde la pictografía a la escritura fonética propia de los jeroglíficos hasta llegar al signo con valor alfabético. Los sumerios, pueblo no semita que habitó el sur de Mesopotamia hacia el año 3500 A.C., fueron los que inventaron la escritura llamada cuneiforme por la forma en que sus signos eran realizados con una cuña en tablillas de arcilla. El material utilizado, arcilla blanda que luego se secaba al sol, permitió que miles de esas tablillas perduraran en el tiempo, siendo luego descubiertas en las expediciones arqueológicas. Su escritura era esencialmente silábica como lo fue también la escritura jeroglífica de los egipcios; si en la pictografía el dibujo representaba un objeto, por ejemplo el círculo para sol, en la escritura silábica el círculo pasó a representar el sonido sol. Así por ejemplo si la lengua fuera el castellano y uno quisiera escribir soltero, dibujaría un sol y un tero. El paso dado fue trascendental pues el dibujo dejó de representar a la cosa para representar un sonido silábico y con ello la escritura se hizo más abstracta hasta llegar al máximo de su abstracción con la invención de la escritura alfabética donde la letra pasó a representar al fonema. Este último paso fue realizado por los fenicios, de ellos tomaron los hebreos y también los griegos su escritura. Algunos plantean una etapa intermedia entre los jeroglíficos egipcios y el alfabeto fenicio a partir del descubrimiento de la escritura proto-sinaítica encontrada en las minas de turquesa del Sinaí donde se adoraba a la diosa egipcia Hathor y donde se encontraron algunas letras como la aleph que luego será la primera de las letras del alfabeto fenicio. Cada una de las letras creadas por los fenicios tiene un significado pues ellas fueron creadas por acrofonía: se tomó el dibujo de un objeto con el que comenzaba el sonido 1 Publicado en el 2018 en https://mensuarioidentidad.com.uy/?p=1236

This article will discuss if and how the old techniques of making typologies and classifying can regain their importance in humanistic research, being theorized, revised and adapted to digital media. Taking its point of departure in practices of classification in folkloristics and archaeology, it compares different disciplines as models, while aiming to engage with dances as sets of movement structures, rather than with the dancing as sets of social practices. The refections proceed from personal experiences during the period from about 1970, extending towards 2020.

The aim of this paper is to study the impact of financial leverage on return on equity for a sample of eight Romanian listed companies' acting in the manufacturing dairy products sector, using financial leverage method. This method was applied for a period of 3 years (2010-2012) and reflects also the influence of debt policy on company's return on equity that was determined using both accounting data and financial leverage. The conclusions that emerge in this study reflect that financial leverage effect is a key factor that influences the return on equity in function of degree of debts and the relation between return on assets and interest rate, but there are many other determinants of return on equity that are not linked by financial structure. 1. Introduction The use of debt in a company's capital structure is called financial leverage. The more debt a company has, expressed as a percentage of assets, the greater is its degree of financial leverage that means it refers to the extent to which a company relies on debt. The more debt financing a company uses in its capital structure, the more financial leverage it employs. Debt acts like a lever in the sense that using it can greatly magnify both gains and losses. So, financial leverage increases the potential reward to shareholders, but it also increases the potential for financial distress and business failure (Ross et al., 2003). The capital structure may produce the highest company value that means the lowest cost of capital that is the one most beneficial to stockholders. Financial leverage may have an important impact on the payoffs to stockholders, but may not affect the overall cost of capital. The extent to which a company uses debt financing, or financial leverage, has three important implications (Brigham & Houston, 2009):-by raising funds through debt, stockholders can maintain control of a company while limiting their investment;-creditors look to the equity, or owner-supplied funds, to provide a margin of safety, so the higher the proportion of the total capital that was provided by stockholders, the less the risk faced by creditors;-if the company earns more on investments financed with borrowed funds than it pays in interest, the return on the owners' capital (return on equity) is magnified, or " leveraged ". The specialty literature has traditionally analyzed the relationship between leverage and corporate performance from the point of view of how corporate performance affects the level of firm debt; the majority of these studies have found a negative relation. Using a sample of 10,375 companies from 39 countries, Gonzales (2013) studied the relationship between leverage and corporate performance from the perspective of how financial leverage affects the operating performance of companies and he found that the performance of companies with greater leverage is significantly reduced compared to their competitors in industry downturns, in line with the importance of financial distress costs; this effect varies according to the legal origin of the countries, being positive in French civil law countries. He concluded that the protection of shareholder rights and the strength of legal enforcement are the main variables explaining the effect of financial leverage on performance (Gonzales, 2013). Moon and Tandon (2007) investigates whether the association between ownership structure and leverage varies with the magnitude of growth opportunities. Considering the disciplinary role of leverage on the over-investment problem and ownership structure as a control mechanism to affect funding decisions, they hypothesize that the association between ownership structure and leverage is stronger for companies with fewer growth opportunities. They found that the association between equity ownership
