description: We use a disk galaxy evolution model to investigate the impact of mass outflows (a.k.a. feedback) on disk galaxy scaling relations. Our model follows the accretion, cooling, star formation and ejection of baryonic mass inside growing dark matter haloes, with cosmologically motivated specific angular momentum distributions. Models without feedback produce disks that are too small and rotate too fast. Feedback reduces the baryonic masses of galaxies, resulting in larger disks with lower rotation velocities. Models with feedback can reproduce the zero points of the scaling relations between rotation velocity, stellar mass and disk size, but only in the absence of adiabatic contraction. Our feedback mechanism is maximally efficient in expelling mass, but our successful models require 25% of the SN energy, or 100% of the SN momentum, to drive the outflows. It remains to be seen whether such high efficiencies are realistic or not. Our energy and momentum driven wind models result in different slopes of various scaling relations, such as size - stellar mass, stellar mass - halo mass, and metallicity - stellar mass. Observations favor the energy driven wind at stellar masses below Mstar = 10^{10.5} Msun, but the momentum driven wind model at high masses. The ratio between the specific angular momentum of the baryons to that of the halo, (j_gal/m_gal), is not unity in our models. Yet this is the standard assumption in models of disk galaxy formation. Feedback preferentially ejects low angular momentum material because star formation is more efficient at smaller galactic radii. This results in (j_gal/m_gal) increasing with decreasing halo mass. This effect helps to resolve the discrepancy between the high spin parameters observed for dwarf galaxies with the low spin parameters predicted from LCDM. [Abridged]

title: A Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer: Ammonium-Loaded Clinoptilolite
Creators: name: Perrin, T. Scott
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Crops grown in sandy soils require frequent irrigation. As a result, nitrogen (N) fertilizers. such as ammonium sulfate((NH4)2SO4), are leached from the rooting zone of crops. This loss of N increases N fertilizer use and the potential for nitrate (NO3-) contamination of water. Ammonium-loaded clinoptilolite (NH4+-Cp) may reduce this N leaching, increase N fertilizer use-efficiency, and prevent NO3- contamination of water while sustaining normal crop growth.
The potential of NH4+-Cp as a N fertilizer was assessed in three leaching experiments without plants and two leaching experiments with plants. Pots containing rounded quartz sand were amended with (NH4)2SO4 and one of three NH4+-Cp size fractions: small (
Finally, in two leaching studies, pots containing the sandy soil were planted with sweet corn and grown for 35 d and 42 d, respectively. No differences were found among N sources in corn relative growth rates, leaf area ratios, and net assimilation rates, even though the corn plants that were fertilized with NH4+-Cp assimilated significantly more N than the (NH4)2SO4-fertilized plants. The pots fertilized with NH5+-Cp leached
In the greenhouse, NH4+-Cp is a slow-release fertilizer that will reduce N leaching while maintaining normal plant growth. However, field studies are needed to confirm the suitability of NH4+-Cp as a slow-release fertilizer under field conditions.

description: In this work, I argue that administrative discretional decision-making, achieving a public interest to protect, is an evaluation process that occurs through the reasonable and proportional comparison of several private (secondary) interests conflicting with a single public (primary) interest. I suggest that the dynamics of weighing competing interests are similar to the procedure for balancing constitutional rights. Thus, drawing on Robert Alexy's constitutional balancing model, I propose a model that is applicable to discretionary administrative decisions, in which the outcome of the proportional weighing of secondary interests works as a "moderation factor" for the primary interest. In my model, the outcomes of the discretional process can be converted into numerical values, simplifying decision consistency so as to make it simple, complete and reasonable at the same time.

description: The efficiency of the future devices for quantum information processing is limited mostly by the finite decoherence rates of the qubits. Recently a substantial progress was achieved in enhancing the time, which a solid-state qubit demonstrates a coherent dynamics. This progress is based mostly on a successful isolation of the qubits from external decoherence sources. Under these conditions the material-inherent sources of noise start to play a crucial role. In most cases the noise that quantum device demonstrate has 1/f spectrum. This suggests that the environment that destroys the phase coherence of the qubit can be thought of as a system of two-state fluctuators, which experience random hops between their states. In this short review we discuss the current state of the theory of the decoherence due to the qubit interaction with the fluctuators. We describe the effect of such an environment on different protocols of the qubit manipulations - free induction and echo signal. It turns out that in many important cases the noise produced by the fluctuators is non-Gaussian. Consequently the results of the interaction of the qubit with the fluctuators are not determined by the pair correlation function only. We describe the effect of the fluctuators using so-called spin-fluctuator model. Being quite realistic this model allows one to evaluate the qubit dynamics in the presence of one fluctuator exactly. This solution is found, and its features, including non-Gaussian effects are analyzed in details. We extend this consideration for the systems of large number of fluctuators, which interact with the qubit and lead to the 1/f noise. We discuss existing experiments on the Josephson qubit manipulation and try to identify non-Gaussian behavior.

description: Single crystal ZnO nanowires doped with indium are synthesized via the laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The conductivity of the nanowires is measured at low temperatures in magnetic fields both perpendicular and parallel to the wire axes. A quantitative fit of our data is obtained, consistent with the theory of a quasi-one-dimensional metallic system with quantum corrections due to weak localization and electron-electron interactions. The anisotropy of the magneto-conductivity agrees with theory. The two quantum corrections are of approximately equal magnitude with respective temperature dependences of T^-1/3 and T^-1/2. The alternative model of quasi-two-dimensional surface conductivity is excluded by the absence of oscillations in the magneto-conductivity in parallel magnetic fields.

A structural analysis of Gottfried Von Strassburg’s "Tristan" based on the structural markers of extant manuscripts
Creators: name: Woods, Gurli Aagaard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to analyse the structure of Gottfried von Strassburg's "Tristan" and to base such an analysis on the structural markers in the extant MSS of the romance. Before embarking on the structural analysis we discuss various approaches to analysing the structure of a given work; we thereby touch upon problems such as the relationship between form and content and the importance of consulting the MSS of the work concerned for possible indications of structure. In order to have an objective basis to work from, we establish statistically a model MS which represents the average of the total number of structural markers (initials) in the extant "Tristan" MSS. Our approach is based on the assumption that most of the original structure markers filtered through to the various MSS and that they can be restored—at least partially—by focusing on an average representation of the initials in the MSS. The MSS are then placed on an evaluation scale according to the degree to which their initials coincide with those of the model MS. During the subsequent structural analysis this evaluation scale helps to determine which paragraph divisions are "weak." Our structural analysis is in two parts; the first part is a detailed analysis of the "Vorgeschichte" based on the paragraph divisions (initials) of the model MS. The "Vorgeschichte" has been chosen as the object for the structural analysis partly because it forms the smallest narrative complex within the epic while at the same time containing enough narrative units to enable us to detect possible numerical structures within this complex and partly on the assumption that the scribes most likely copied the first portions of the epic more accurately than later sections, thus also following the structural indications of their source more faithfully. In the second part of our structural analysis we deal with the acrostics. By examining in detail the large initials in the MSS, we obtain an accurate picture of the three acrostics in "Tristan", and we proceed to discuss the possible significance of the acrostic initials for the over-all structure of the romance. Our structural analysis of the "Vorgeschichte", based on the paragraph divisions of the model MS, shows that Gottfried singles out specific points in the narrative (the well documented paragraph divisions of the model MS) both by initials and by accompanying recurrent stylistic features and that his reason for doing so is to structure his work according to numerical symmetrical patterns. The fact that such patterns emerge when we group the paragraphs of the model MS of the "Vorgeschichte" according to content indicates that further study of other parts of "Tristan" based on the structural indications in the MSS would provide us with more information about Gottfried's technique of structuring his narrative.

description: Fino a non molto tempo fa vi erano linee di riflessione che tendevano a considerare la bioetica come una disciplina sostanzialmente attinente alla sfera privata della coscienza individuale degli operatori direttamente coinvolti e perciò non direttamente connessa a questioni di organizzazione complessiva della società pubblica. 
Nel corso del tempo la prospettiva si è progressivamente evoluta, dal momento che le questioni bioetiche sollevano molti interrogativi di carattere etico, deontologico e giuridico, divenendo così oggetto di riflessione anche sul versante sociale e politico: potremmo parlare, in altri termini, di biopolitica e biodiritto. Infatti il legislatore è spesso chiamato ad esprimersi su questioni sollevate da “casi” bioeticamente significativi e dovrebbe poterlo fare con cognizione di causa. Il dibattito sulle “Dichiarazioni Anticipate di Trattamento” rappresenta una di tali questioni.
Molte e diverse sono le denominazioni utilizzate per indicare lo strumento atto a manifestare le scelte di fine vita. Tutte, però, fanno riferimento ad un documento scritto, contenente le indicazioni espresse da una persona sana e capace di intendere e di volere, avente per oggetto i trattamenti sanitari e assistenziali che si vogliono o non si vogliono ricevere nell’ipotesi in cui, a causa di una malattia grave, inguaribile o di un evento traumatico, tale persona si venisse a trovare in uno stato di incapacità di intendere e di volere. 
Dietro la diversa terminologia utilizzata, si evidenziano difficoltà di diversa natura: il riferimento alla libertà del singolo e al suo diritto di autodeterminazione, l’ampio concetto di salute, il principio dell’uguaglianza, la nozione di dignità, la questione dell’obiezione di coscienza.
L'idea di affrontare questo tema nasce dal desiderio di approfondire uno degli aspetti maggiormente discussi nel settore delle scelte di fine vita; di riflettere sulla legittimità e sulla reale utilità di uno strumento come le DAT;  di indagare la reale situazione intorno alle tematiche di fine vita.

description: We report on two different manipulation procedures of a tunable rf SQUID. First, we operate this system as a flux qubit, where the coherent evolution between the two flux states is induced by a rapid change of the energy potential, turning it from a double well into a single well. The measured coherent Larmor-like oscillation of the retrapping probability in one of the wells has a frequency ranging from 6 to 20 GHz, with a theoretically expected upper limit of 40 GHz. Furthermore, here we also report a manipulation of the same device as a phase qubit. In the phase regime, the manipulation of the energy states is realized by applying a resonant microwave drive. In spite of the conceptual difference between these two manipulation procedures, the measured decay times of Larmor oscillation and microwave-driven Rabi oscillation are rather similar. Due to the higher frequency of the Larmor oscillations, the microwave-free qubit manipulation allows for much faster coherent operations.

description: Abstract

With the aim of analyzing and synthesizing the results from selected prior studies, the present systematic literature review investigates the relationship between the metaverse and brand development. After thorough screening and evaluation, 84 articles were included in the review using the PRISMA methodology. Four major themes emerged from the research: “brand identity in the metaverse”, “consumer engagement in virtual reality brand experiences”, “virtual communities &brand advocacy”, and “augmented reality &personalized brand experiences”. The analysis of outcomes came up with significant findings, highlighting the importance of leveraging the metaverse for the development of brand identity, the impact of immersive experiences on brand identification, and the role of virtual communities in shaping brand perceptions. It also emphasized the value of consumer participation for virtual reality brand experiences and the potential of augmented reality for personalized brand interactions. It implies that, to formulate successful strategies in current virtual reality environments, brand managers and marketers can benefit greatly from the Metaverse. Future research investigations might focus on industry-specific applications, long-term effects of brand experiences in the metaverse, and ethical ramifications of brand presence in virtual reality settings.

title: A Study of Denitrosation of N-Nitroso Compounds by Irradiation with Long-Wavelength UV Light
Creators: name: Wang, Zhenyu J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: N-Nitrosamines and N-nitrosamides have been reported to be mutagenic. N-Nitrosamides are direct mutagens that need no activation to be mutagenic, whereas N-nitrosamines need to be enzymatically activated to exert their mutagenicity. Oxidative demethylation of nitrosamines is a commonly accepted activation mechanism. Another pathway of nitroso compounds, denitrosation, has recently been proposed. The mechanism of denitrosation, however, is still unknown.
The purpose of this study was to use a photo -reaction model to explore the possible denitrosation mechanism of N-nitroso compounds. An N-nitrosamine, N-nitrosomorpholi ne (NMOR), and an N-nitrosamide, N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine (MMNG), were irradiated with long-wavelength UV light in the presence of phosphate. Denitrosation of these nitroso compounds occurred, and free radicals were generated during the photolysis of N-nitroso compounds. The free radical from NMOR is carbon centered, and the free radical from MNNG is nitrogen centered. They have different responses to phosphate. A stable mutagen is formed during the photolysis of NMOR in the presence of phosphate. The formation of this stable mutagen is through a free-radical mechanism. MNNG appears to be inactivated in terms of mutagenicity by the photodenitrosation. Free radicals produced during the photolysis of NMOR and MNNG are mutagenic through a direct radical interaction mechanism.
The results of this study indicate that the newly found pathway of N-nitroso compounds, denitrosation, may be related to a free-radical mechanism.

description: Solar prominences are partially ionised plasmas displaying flows and oscillations. These oscillations show time and spatial damping and, commonly, have been explained in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. We study the spatial damping of linear non-adiabatic MHD waves in a flowing partially ionised plasma, having prominence-like physical properties. We consider single fluid equations for a partially ionised hydrogen plasma including in the energy equation optically thin radiation, thermal conduction by electrons and neutrals, and heating. Keeping the frequency real and fixed, we have solved the obtained dispersion relations for the complex wavenumber, k, and have analysed the behaviour of the damping length, wavelength and the ratio of the damping length to the wavelength, versus period, for Alfven, fast, slow and thermal waves.

description: We demonstrate the evolution of the micro-patterned magnetic domains in CoPd thin films pretreated with e-beam lithography and O2 plasma. During the days-long oxidation, significantly different behaviors of the patterned magnetic domains under magnetization reversal are observed via magneto-optic Kerr effect microscopy on different days. The evolution of the magnetic behaviors indicate critical changes in the local magnetic anisotropy energies due to the Co oxides that evolve into different oxide forms, which are characterized by micro-area X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The coercive field of the area pre-exposed to plasma can decrease to a value 10 Oe smaller than that unexposed to plasma, whereas after a longer duration of oxidation the coercive field can instead become larger in the area pre-exposed to plasma than that unexposed, leading to an opposite magnetic pattern. Various forms of oxidation can therefore provide an additional dimension for magnetic-domain engineering to the current conventional lithographies.

Modified Slim-Disk Model Based on Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulation Data: The Conflict Between Outflow and Photon Trapping

description: Photon trapping and outflow are two key physics associated with the supercritical accretion flow. We investigate the conflict between these two processes based on two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic (RHD) simulation data and construct a simplified (radially) one-dimensional model. Mass loss due to outflow, which is not considered in the slim-disk model, will reduce surface density of the flow, and if very significant, it will totally suppress photon trapping effects. If the photon trapping is very significant, conversely, outflow will be suppressed because radiation pressure force will be reduced. To see what actually occurs, we examine the RHD simulation data and evaluate the accretion rate and outflow rate as functions of radius. We find that the former monotonically decreases, while the latter increases, as the radius decreases. However, the former is kept constant at small radii, inside several Schwarzschild radii, since the outflow is suppressed by the photon trapping effects. To understand the conflict between the photon trapping and outflow in a simpler way, we model the radial distribution of the accretion rate from the simulation data and build up a new (radially) one-dimensional model, which is similar to the slim-disk model but incorporates the mass loss effects due to the outflow. We find that the surface density (and, hence, the optical depth) is much reduced even inside the trapping radius, compared with the case without outflow, whereas the effective temperature distribution hardly changes. That is, the emergent spectra do not sensitively depend on the amount of mass outflow. We conclude that the slim-disk approach is valid for interpreting observations, even if the outflow is taken into account.

C60 Cation as the Carrier of the 9577 and 9632 Angstrom Diffuse Interstellar Bands: Further Support from the VLT/X-Shooter Spectra

description: Ever since their first detection over 100 years ago, the mysterious diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), a set of several hundred broad absorption features seen against distant stars in the optical and near infrared wavelength range, largely remain unidentified. The close match both in wavelengths and in relative strengths recently found between the experimental absorption spectra of gas-phase buckminsterfullerene ions (C60+) and four DIBs at 9632, 9577, 9428 and 9365 Angstrom (and, to a lesser degree, a weaker DIB at 9348 Angstrom) suggests C60+ as a promising carrier. However, arguments against the C60+ identification remain and are mostly concerned with the large variation in the intensity ratios of the 9632 and 9577 DIBs. In this work, we search for these DIBs in the ESO VLT/X-shooter archival data and identify the 9632, 9577, 9428 and 9365 Angstrom DIBs in a sample of 25 stars. While the 9428 and 9365 Angstrom DIBs are too noisy to allow any reliable analysis, the 9632 and 9577 Angstrom DIBs are unambiguously detected and, after correcting for telluric water vapor absorption, their correlation can be used to probe their origin. To this end, we select a sub-sample of nine hot, O- or B0-type stars of which the stellar Mg II contamination to the 9632 Angstrom DIB is negligibly small. We find their equivalent widths, after normalized by reddening to eliminate their common correlation with the density of interstellar clouds, exhibit a tight, positive correlation. This supports C60+ as the carrier of the 9632 and 9577 Angstrom DIBs.

description: Laser assisted photoemission by a chirped subfemtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse is considered within an exactly solvable quantum-mechanical model. Special emphasis is given to the energy dependence of photoexcitation cross-section. The streaked spectra are analyzed within the classical picture of initial time-momentum distribution r_ini(p,t) of photoelectrons mapped to the final energy scale. The actual time-momentum distribution in the absence of the probe laser field is shown to be a poor choice for r_ini, and a more adequate ansatz is suggested. The semiclassical theory offers a simple practically useful approximation for streaked spectra. Its limitations for sufficiently long chirped XUV pulses are established.

description: Abstract

Global citizenship education addresses the multifaceted challenges of socioeconomic inequality and cultural diversity in Malaysia's educational landscape. Bridging the urban-rural education gap is crucial, alongside ensuring cultural sensitivity in curricula to cultivate a sense of belonging for all students. Balancing internationalization with local cultural preservation is essential to prevent the erosion of traditional values. Effective integration of global issues into education and teacher training programs is imperative. By tackling socioeconomic disparities and fostering a harmonious multicultural environment, Malaysia can successfully promote global citizenship and nurture inclusive, empowered citizens. This study used a quantitative approach via a survey of 55 items to collect relevant data from 354 university students. The data obtained were analysed using the PLS-SEM 4.0 software via the algorithm, bootstrapping and blindfolding method. The results showed significant relationship of Ho1, Ho2, Ho3, and Ho4 in influencing Promotion of Global Citizenship through the factors of Socioeconomic Status (β = 0.128, p = 0.000< 0.05), Cultural Sensitivity in Curriculum (β = 0.216, p = 0.000< 0.05), Internationalization Efforts (β = 0.154, p = 0.01< 0.05), and Teacher Training Programs (β = 0.196, p = 0.045< 0.05). Nevertheless, no significant relationship was found between Urban-Rural Education Disparities (0.185, p = 0.090 > 0.05) and Promotion of Global Citizenship. These results emphasize the necessity of holistic approaches to education that prioritize socioeconomic equality, cultural understanding, and effective teacher training to cultivate global citizenship skills and attitudes among students. Policymakers and educators should focus on bridging socioeconomic gaps, promoting cultural sensitivity, and integrating global issues into the curriculum to nurture inclusive and empowered citizens capable of contributing to a harmonious multicultural society. Furthermore, its offers valuable insights into the nuanced dynamics of global citizenship education in the Malaysian context.
title: Photoaffinity Labeling of the Antimycin Binding Site in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides
Creators: name: Wilson, Emily
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the site of interaction of antimycin with the ubiquinone-cytochrome b-c1 oxidoreductase in the photosynthetic bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides. To accomplish this goal, three areas of research were undertaken: the synthesis of a radiolabeled, photoaffinity analog of antimycin, identification of the inhibitory characteristics of this analog, and the photoaffinity labeling of the antimycin binding site. All three areas were accomplished.
The major finding of this study was the identification of an 11,000 dalton polypeptide as the predominantly labeled protein. Although this polypeptide was not exclusively labeled, it was consistently labeled and showed competition with antimycin. These results are consistent with a similar study performed by das Gupta and Rieske (1973) with a mitochondrial preparation.
These results are not conclusive, but do show several interesting points. First, cytochrome b is not the only site of interaction of antimycin with the ubiquinone~cytochrome b-c1 region of the electron transport chain. Secondly, an 11,000 dalton polypeptide is an important component of this protein complex. The function of this polypeptide is unknown, but should provide interesting research for future studies.

description: Abstract

Herbal medicine is experiencing a significant resurgence as natural approach to health and wellness. Gum Arabic, derived from the sap of Acacia trees, is gaining attention due to its numerous health benefits. This study investigates the protective effects of Gum Arabic against histopathological and physiological alterations induced by melamine toxicity in Swiss albino mice. Melamine exposure has been linked to various toxicological effects, particularly in kidney. The research involved administering Gum Arabic to mice subjected to melamine dose-1 and dose-2 according to their body weight, followed by assessments of physiological parameters and histological changes in kidney tissues. Results indicated that Gum Arabic significantly mitigated the adverse effects of melamine, evidenced by improved histopathological outcomes and restored physiological functions i.e weight gain. The findings suggest that Gum Arabic may serve as a potential therapeutic agent in counteracting melamine-induced toxicity, highlighting its role in enhancing health and reducing oxidative stress in affected tissues.

description: The charge carrier mobility is a key parameter for the organic bulk heterojunction solar cell efficiency. It was recently shown that the interplay charge carrier transport and recombination, both depending on electron and hole mobilities, leads to a point of maximum power conversion efficiency at a finite mobility. Changes of bulk and surface recombination rate, however, can strongly influence this behavior. These processes were previously not considered adequately, as surface recombination velocities of infinity were implicitly assumed or bulk recombination parameters not discussed in detail. In this manuscript, using a macroscopic effective medium simulation, we consider how a reduced bulk recombination process in combination with finite surface recombination velocities affect the power conversion efficiency. Instead of a maximum efficiency at a specific charge carrier mobility, we show that with realistic assumptions and passivated surfaces the efficiency is increased further, saturating only at higher mobilities. Thus, a mobility optimisation is more important for the solar cell performance then previously shown.

description: Abstract

While the growing body of research on Tan Twan Eng's The Gift of Rain (2009) focuses on the protagonist, Philip Hutton's traumatic condition, Chinese identity, and ambiguous identity, this study focuses on the complexity of Philip's interactions between various cultures. The current study investigates the impact of the multiculturalism theme and its impact on the sense of distorted identity and belonging in Tan Twan Eng's The Gift of Rain in the View of Traumatic Theory of Identity Crisis in the novel. Scholars who have studied multicultural portrayals in diverse literary texts, such as Khan, Tiwari, Sheoran, and Tan C. S., have discovered that multicultural situations lead some ethnic groups to lose their traditions and identities. As a result, the multicultural situations represented are seen negatively. However, this study has found that identity creation is described as sharing experiences and having historical experiences by engaging and negotiating with people. In contrast, the sense of belonging is defined as feeling linked and associated with a group of persons. The findings also revealed that multiculturism had a detrimental impact on Philip's identity and sense of belonging since he completely lost his Chinese roots and, subsequently, his British identity after absorbing Japanese culture. The process of multiculturalism that Philip experiences shows that the new cultural practices he creates consist of his own traditional culture and the foreign culture he has acquired. This means that Philip still retains his traditional culture and identity. Therefore, this study concluded that the multicultural characteristics of society may have a detrimental impact on individual cultures, resulting in distorted identity appearance and a loss of sense of belonging. In another text, a contrary conclusion revealed that Philip retains his original identities and traditional cultures while adopting and blending a new culture with a foreign one.

description: An organization’s leadership theory acts as a collection of primary guiding characteristics which influence its identity and direction. Developing leaders has always been important for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Historically, the Church has promoted leadership ideals for all its members through various aspects of its doctrine and organization. This study provides an analysis of multiple leadership texts produced by the ecclesiastical and educational wings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The study helps to reveal how Latter-day Saint leadership theory has developed over time. This study considers the unfolding of Latter-day Saint leadership theory from 1900 to 2017. The analysis provides greater understanding of how ecclesiastic leadership theory relates to leadership theory provided for the Church’s religious educators. Additionally, this study considers how themes in Latter-day leadership theory developed in relationship to other contemporary historical and theoretical trends. Data derived from this analysis are used to answer the following three questions: (1) How has the idea of leadership changed over time in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and in its educational system? (2) What are the enduring themes and distinctive concepts of Latter-day Saint leadership theory? (3) What differences exist between the leadership constructs provided for ecclesiastical leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those of its educational system?
