AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED”? KARL BARTH AND THE STUDY OF PROPHETIC PREACHING IN SOUTH AFRICA TODAY by Martin Laubscher

“…Thereafter, I explore both these focuses in more detail in their own right – the state of discourse and scholarship in our study of prophetic preaching, and the significance of revisiting and exploring the meaning in Barth’s famous words to do (in the midst of crises) theology “as if nothing had happened”. In the last section, I will spell out some of these insights of Barth for the study and practice of prophetic preaching in South Africa today. …”

Displacement Transmissibility Characteristics of Harmonically Base Excited Damper Isolators with Mixed Viscous Damping by Xiaojuan Sun, Jianrun Zhang

“…The viscous damping force in the mixed form as fd(x˙)=c1x˙+c2|x˙|x˙ can well describe damping characteristics of isolators and dampers in many cases. In this paper, performance characteristics of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) linear-stiffness isolators with mixed and piecewise mixed viscous damping are analytically examined under harmonic base excitation. …”
