Stress-strain prediction of waterproof layers in deep salt formations using a concrete model
Introduction. The development of deep potash deposits is associated with the risk of water-conducting fracture formation in waterproof strata, which may lead to loss of continuity and groundwater inflow into mine workings. Purpose of the research. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the use of an elastoplastic model with damage accumulation for predicting the stress-strain state of waterproof strata, taking into account stiffness degradat…

Making Babies in Ninth- and Tenth-Century Japan: Change and Diversity in Buddhist and Medical Formulas for Aiding Conception
What methods could women wanting to conceive children in premodern Japan potentially use to enhance their fertility? The written and material evidence surviving from ninth- and tenth-century Japan suggests that during that time fertility-enhancing methods stemmed mostly from two distinct and at times overlapping or competing traditions of written knowledge: Buddhist and medicinal expertise. Focusing on a ninth-century handbook attributed to a pro…
Memory of Colonial Crimes in Belgium
The article explores Belgium as a case-study of the phenomenon of “colonial amnesia” in the EU. Contemporary discourse on European history includes the Holocaust and Communism as central and unifying themes, while colonialism is determined as a distinct phenomenon. Despite its official condemnation, European states attitude towards colonialism differ. The authors argue that European states tend to avoid responsibility for the colonial-era atrocit…
Atrocity reports as strategic narratives: Discourses of genocide in Rwanda
By critically examining atrocity reports as a 'genocide genre', the authors seek to demonstrate how the combination of political, legal, historical, and other narratives enables these reports to become an important advocacy tool for international human rights organisations. Employing critical discourse analysis, and qualitative and quantitative content-analysis, the article proceeds with the examination of atrocity reports on Rwandan genocide, in…
Cosmology and Embryology in Medieval Japan
This chapter considers the process and impact of adopting South and East Asian embryological notions and descriptions of fetal life into the cosmological accounts and ritual sources from early and medieval Japan. A plethora of different terms describing the stages of a fetus developing in the mother’s womb was known in both India and China, where they came to be adopted in the earliest medical or religious writings, produced by Buddhists, Daoists…

“Rapport Duclert” and France’s Responsibility for the Genocide in Rwanda
In March 2021 the Duclert Commission, a commission of French experts appointed by President Macron, presented their report which immediately became the subject of academic and political debates. The Report examined the French involvement in Rwandan genocide in 1994, and pointed to the major ethical, legal and political dilemmas accompanying states’ involvement into the affairs of other states. We seek to identify major topics raised by the French…

Buddhist Healing in Medieval China and Japan
From its inception in northeastern India in the first millennium BCE, the Buddhist tradition has advocated a range of ideas and practices that were said to ensure health and well-being. As the religion developed and spread to other parts of Asia, healing deities were added to its pantheon, monastic institutions became centers of medical learning, and healer-monks gained renown for their mastery of ritual and medicinal therapeutics. In China, impo…
Buddhist Temple Networks in Medieval Japan: Daigoji, Mt. Kōya, and the Miwa Lineage
The intellectual links between medieval esoteric temples and localized Shingon movements are still far from being well understood. Although a part of education at major monastic complexes such as Daigoji and Mt. Kōya, transmissions of esoteric theories were not uniform and varied depending on their recipients’ social status. A comparative reading of the Yugikyō transmissions imparted by the abbot Jikken of Kongōōin to his official disciple Dōhan …

In this brief, the authors examine Russian media discourses on domestic violence during the COVID-19 global pandemic. With the introduction of restrictive measures against the virus, such as physical distancing measures, cordoning off cities, a 2-week travel quarantine, and others, media reports started to emphasize growing numbers of domestic violence cases and the insufficiency of measures to help the victims.

Y ijiang Z hong . The Origin of Modern Shinto in Japan: The Vanquished Gods of Izumo
The newly established Bloomsbury Shinto Studies book series continues to yield interesting research cases. Until recently in the Western imagination, Shinto was perceived as a millennium-old unbroken tradition of worshipping kami (local deities)—a religious monolith, mysterious, unique, and belonging solely to Japan. However, the arrival of academic studies investigating different aspects of kami worship is steadily chipping away at the older nar…

The Origins of the Miwa Lineage
Des documents historiques suggèrent que, vers le XIIIe siècle, le Mont Miwa, dans la partie sud-est de la plaine de Yamato, devint le centre d'un culte de kami.

Saidaiji Monks and Esoteric Kami Worship at Ise and Miwa
By the eighth century, Mount Miwa, the most important site of worship connected to the early Yamato ruling houses in prehistoric times, had gradually become "de-sacralized" and "forgotten" by imperial family in favor of Ise. In the course of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries it was rediscovered and reinvented by Buddhist lineages who aimed to restore the proper monastic order in a time of mappō and to protect the state and the "divine land"…
