THE SPIRIT, JUSTICE AND BEAUTY?

“…Firstly, I argue for the theologically important relation between justice and beauty; secondly, that the Spirit of God is the Spirit both of “justice” and of “beauty”; thirdly, that a theology of the Spirit further defines “justice” and “beauty” and allows for a deepened understanding of both; and fourthly, that a theology of the Spirit allows us to understand the ambiguities with regards to these differentiated themes – and therefore highlights not only the importance of the interrelation between “beauty” and “justice” – but, I argue, is this interrelation. …”

Response of Microbial Community Structure and Diversity to Nitrogen Deposition in Soils of Pinus yunnanensis Forest of the Central Yunnan Plateau by SONG Chenggong, WANG Keqin, SONG Yali, LI Xiaodong, ZHANG Jiguo, LI Yun, DENG Qiujiang

“…[Method] The soil of P. yunnanensis forests on the Central Yunnan Plateau was selected as the research object, CO(NH2)2 was used as the N source, and four different gradients were set up for simulated N deposition experiments, including control CK [N 0 g/(m2·a)], low nitrogen LN [N 10 g/(m2·a)], medium nitrogen MN [N 20 g/(m2·a)], and high nitrogen HN [N 25 g/(m2·a)], the structure and diversity of soil bacterial and fungal community were analyzed, and the characteristics of the changes of soil pH, TOC, TN, TP, NH+4-N and NO-3-N were determined. [Results] (1) In both the dry and rainy seasons, soil pH and TOC content were reduced, and TN was increased under each N treatment when compared with CK, and both NH+4-N and NO-3-N were increased at MN and HN compared to CK; (2) Both bacterial and fungal α-diversity were higher in the rainy season than in the dry season; bacterial α-diversity increased at LN under both seasons compared to CK, whereas fungi α-diversity increased at LN in the dry season; (3) In both the dry and rainy seasons, the dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria and Actinobacteria, and the dominant fungal phyla were Basidiomycota, Ascomycota and Mortierellomycota; (4) The dominant bacterial and fungal genera were significantly correlated with pH, TOC, TN and NH-3-N during the dry and wet seasons. …”

Diverse neuronal activity patterns contribute to the control of distraction in the prefrontal and parietal cortex. by Panagiotis Sapountzis, Alexandra Antoniadou, Georgia G Gregoriou

“…We recorded neuronal responses from 2 regions in the prefrontal and parietal cortex of macaques, the frontal eye field (FEF) and the lateral intraparietal (LIP) area, during a visual search task, in the presence and absence of a salient distractor. We found that in both areas, salient distractors are encoded by both response enhancement and suppression by distinct neuronal populations. …”
