P. TILLICHO ONTOLOGIJA IR I. KANTO TRANSCENDENTALINĖ FILOSOFIJA by Mindaugas Briedis

“…Though Tillich agrees with Kant that faith being of an existential character involving the whole of human existence, does not constitute a theoretical problem of the sort we encounter in empirical inquiry, but because of this wholeness Tillich sees Kant’s moral solution concerning nature of religion as reductive and suggests that an act of faith is a matter of all mental functions (intellect, will, emotion) of human being. …”

The Terraced Walls Significantly Influence the Spatial Distribution of Soil Water in Terraced Areas on the Loess Plateau by BAI Chenyun, YU Xiaoling, MA Chenchen, HAN Xiaoyang, QIAO Jiangbo, ZHU Yuanjun

“…The depth of the soil layer and the distance from the terraced wall were the main factors influencing soil water content, while the correlation between soil particle composition as well as organic matter content and soil water content was low. [Conclusion] Lateral evaporation caused by the terraced walls on the Loess Plateau significantly affects the distribution of soil moisture, leading to a reduction in soil water on the side adjacent to the walls. …”

Household air pollution exposure and risk of tuberculosis: a case–control study of women in Lilongwe, Malawi by Kenneth Maleta, Robert Krysiak, Irving Hoffman, Sam Phiri, Pamela Jagger, Ryan McCord, Anna Gallerani, Charles Jumbe, Joseph Pedit

“…We calculate ORs for developing active TB using indicators of HAP exposure including primary fuel used for cooking, cooking location and frequency of kerosene use for lighting, and in a subset of households, by directly measured cooking area and personal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide.Results We are unable to find an association between self-reported cooking with solid fuels and TB in our sample; we do find that increased frequency of kerosene use for lighting is associated with significantly higher odds of TB. …”
