The response of the English churches to the Nazi persecution of the Jews 1933-1945
Creators: name: Tastard, Terence Iain Robert
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2006

description: The background to this thesis is the scholarly debate about bystanders to the Holocaust. Also pertinent is the debate about the conduct of Pius XII in relation to the persecution of the Jews. During the 1930s the Church of England's focus on the persecution of the Jews was complicated by Bishop George Bell's campaign for what were called non-Aryan Christians. He continued his campaign despite being warned that he had exaggerated the numbers of such refugees who would be seeking assistance. The churches in England were challenged to respond to persecution of the Jews by helping fellow- Christians deemed to be of Jewish descent, which confused the understanding about who was being helped. Bell side-stepped calls for him to condemn in outright terms what was happening in Germany. When the Church of England did seek to use its influence with the government, the church had very little suasive force. Specific instances are cited where Archbishop Cosmo Gordon Lang sought government action, but was rebuffed. The persecution of the Jews led to high-profile public meetings and other forms of protest. However, the liberal culture of the times tended to present antisemitic persecution as a challenge to liberal values. This effectively downplayed the persecution's targeting of Jews and its racist basis. Even Jewish requests for church involvement stressed the importance of making the issue a humanitarian one and not a specifically Jewish one. The Council of Christians and Jews also stressed the threat to civilization rather than the threat to Jews. Even so, the CCJ's formation was in itself a response to antisemitism and showed a desire for Christian-Jewish Co-operation and respect. Missionary societies continued to seek to convert the Jews and saw the crisis of the times as an opportunity. Indeed, some missionaries believed it might be the fulfilment of prophecy. The pioneer in Jewish-Christian dialogue, James Parkes, strongly opposed such conversionism. Lang's successor at Canterbury, William Temple, treated the Jewish situation as urgent. He also saw it as challenging Europe's claims to a Christian heritage. Temple's high-profile campaign helped create a wave of Christian support for the Jews, and a flood of petitions. There was a strong tradition of English Catholic antisemitism. Cardinal Arthur Hinsley broke with this to condemn antisemitism with increasing force, though he always mentioned persecution of the Jews in tandem with persecution of Catholics. Evidence suggests that Hinsley may have been compensating for reticence on the part of Pius XII. The thesis also provides a briefer survey of the response of the Quakers, the Methodists and the Baptists.

The development of a performance measurement methodology in support of the new product introduction process
Creators: name: Koliza, Chrysovalanti
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2008

description: This thesis describes the application of performance measurement indicators in New Product Introduction (NPI). The NPI process is important in any business context as a result of constant competition and market globalisation. Delays in the NPI process are likely to compromise organisations' profitability. Time-to-market is therefore a crucial business success factor. To control a product's time-to-market the NPI process needs to be managed effectively through the use of process performance measures. Through the initial research it became apparent that there are no appropriate measures to specifically assess the NPI process. Those, which are typically applied, tend to be of a financial nature based on outcome that do not provide process-related information. This research makes a unique contribution to kllowledge by the development of a NPI performance measurement method that is predictive allowing practitioners to dynamically monitor': and improve the output of the NPI process. The method proposed has a general application within a wide range of companies. The appropriate application of this method will maintain and potentially improve business profitability by improving the NPI process and consequently it's time-to-market.
Leading volunteers : power relations and values in organizations
Creators: name: Lindberg, Curt
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2007

description: This thesis sheds new l.ight on internal dynamics of nonprofit associations - nonprofit organizations reliant on significant volunteer participation. It represents one ofthe first research efforts to deal with power relations and the paradoxical, conflictual nature of values in the context of leading volunteers in nonprofit associations. This thesis mounts a significant challenge to the widely accepted nonprofit management literature which is firmly grounded in the systems thinking tradition and which contends values serve only positive purposes and leaders must ensure there is little contention over values. While this research affirms the benefits of values in attracting volunteers and enabling coordinated action among volunteers, it also argues strongly that such a single- minded focus is a severe handicap to organizations interested in change and adaptation. This is because conflict and difference are essential in the change process. Another limitation of the orthodox literature is the portrayal ofa leader's power position relative to volunteers as one of significant dependency. This research concludes that the relationship is characterized by significant interdependency. Such a conclusion is based on the tendency for volunteers to imagine an ideal future achieved by joining in mutual action with others. Because volunteers need support and participation by leaders in the realization of this better future, a dependency is 'created. This different way of understanding values and power opens up a broader role for nonprofit executives. Not only must they work with volunteers to enable the productive dimensions ofvalues to be realized, but they must work with the paradoxical nature of values and the inevitable conflicts and anxiety which emerge. By paying attention to daily patterns ofinteraction, resisting tendencies to deny or deflect conflicts, noticing how one participates in conversations and whether the results are repetitive or free-flowing and creative, nonprqfit association leaders can help create more adaptable and c~angeable organizations. These findings were informed by an intensive examination ofmy experiences as a leader in a nonprofit association and ofcomplex responsive processes theory of Stacey and colleagues, comple~ity science, and the scholarship of sociologist Norbert Elias. They emerged from a series ofnarratives about my experiences, serious reflections on these narratives within the doctoral program community, and study of literature suggested by themes that arose in the course of the research.

description: The drive to modernise cannot be divorced from the evolution of technologies that are designed to profit from nature (specifically, the nonhuman, physical world) without concern for long-term effects on the earth and its capacity to carry substantial human populations. While evolving technologies also have other purposes than this transformation of matter to profit, the twenty-first century ecological humanities respond to the way that industrialisation has mobilised environmentally damaging practices over recent centuries. Yet such critiques must also remain aware of the deep patterns that gird philosophies and practices of profit over sustainability. Current events reveal familiar structural tendencies that link them with ancienthuman predispositions.

description: During the years 1908-10 in Britain and Northern Europe, a number of literary authors were producing fictions that both reflected and critiqued what Joseph Conrad later described as “the crudely materialistic atmosphere of the time.” In 1908, Conrad and his literary collaborator Ford Madox Ford(Hueffer) were completing The Nature of a Crime, a slight tale of one London professional’s addiction to embezzlement. Taking this Conrad-Ford microcosm of Edwardian materialism as its point of departure, this articlefirst analyses how a range of 1908-10 fictions represent local financial practices and the impacts of Northern money-making and materialistic culture.

description: The recent publication of David Lipsky’s “road trip” with David Foster Wallace, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself, gives us another example of an author speaking. Alongside the inevitable release of the late author’s archives to the University of Texas’ Harry Ransom Centre,it also “speaks” to an ongoing and widespread fascination with the author as Author, especially in the case of David Foster Wallace, and especially – perhaps predictably – since his untimely and tragic suicide. Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself is a strange sort of interview, more of a diary or even a Gaddis / Puig novel than a formal “sit-down.” Lipsky seems to have intended it to possess a similar feel to one of Wallace’s own fictions, full of “raw” and unedited transcripts of dialogue which stop midsentence when a tape runs out and start again a few minutes late in the middle of another – a kind of cinema verite style of documentary. While this can present frustrations, it does lend the book its own particular aesthetic which helps “drive” it along. And that is the thing about the book, it is almostnaggingly interesting.

description: This essay analyses German filmmaker Werner Herzog’s (b. 1942- ) films Fata Morgana (1970), Lessons of Darkness (Lektionen in Finsternis) (1992) and The Wild Blue Yonder (2005). Each of these films shares formal characteristics,such as being divided by chapter inter-titles and using voiceover narration. However, they also have different iconographic features.Fata Morgana is set in the natural, desert landscapes of Africa. It shows quiet, other-worldly beauty among the ruins of civilisation. The landscapes in this film contain disintegrating relics of human culture, such as wreckedautomobiles, aeroplanes and other machine parts. It is not until the twenty minute mark of the film that the first human figure is seen. They are sublimely dwarfed on the horizon line of an immense desert terrain. Lessons of Darkness is set in Kuwait at the end of the first Gulf War during the period when the last of the burning oil wells were being extinguished. The film presents Kuwait as an unnamed planet that exists somewhere in our solar system.

description: N-Alkyl-N,N-di(2-pyridylmethyl)amines are ligands commonly used by supramolecular chemists in molecular recognition and sensing applications. The metal coordination complexes of these ligands, in particular those with 2:1 (ligand:metal) molar ratio, have not been sufficiently characterised in solution. In this work, bis[N-alkyl-N,N-di(2-pyridylmethyl)amine]zinc(II) perchlorates are characterised in both solid and solution phases, using X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy, respectively. Only the cis-facial stereoisomer is observed. Density functional theory calculations support the thermodynamic preference for this stereochemistry, as in one representative case the gas phase energy of the cis-facial configuration is lower than those of the trans-facial and meridional configurations by 4.0 and 4.5 kcal/mol, respectively.

description: Approaches to cultural studies informed by critical theory or continental philosophy seem for the most part to have had little to say about the environment, even less about environmentalism. Dismissed as regressive, essentialist,scientistic, environmentalism has seemed nowhere near as cool as the political philosophies of the Badious and Žižeks. The Ecological Thought (TET) by Timothy Morton suggests that this need not be the case. Billed as a prequel to Morton’s previous book, the remarkable tour de force Ecology without Nature: Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics (EWN), TET presents similar ideas to its predecessor but in a self-consciously more accessiblemanner. Where EWN raced frenetically through a vast forest of art and philosophy, mentioning pretty much every major thinker in the Continental tradition, TET is more generous in its provision of time and space to the ideas that Morton thinks are most important in our present situation and which he gathers under the name of the ecological thought.

description: The Nordic myths of Asgard have been paid a fair degree of respect over recent years. They were a major inspiration behind Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, which received magisterial filmic treatment from Peter Jackson, and were granted a more explicit role in Kenneth Branagh’s recent visual feast Thor. A. S. Byatt’s new novel Ragnarök is a much more personal journey than these heroic epics, retelling the core mythic cycle of the Northern Europeans through the thoughts and experiences of a small girl during the Second World War air raids in and around London. Explicitly taking its cues from Dr W Wagner’s 1880 book Asgard and the Gods, Byatt’s reverie also clearly utilises autobiographical details in its telling of “the thin child” during wartime.

description: O Vaticano e a Igreja em Portugal consagraram a visita de Bento XVI a Portugal em Maio de 2011 como um evento mediático. Os media corresponderam à temática e ao(s) interveniente(s) com uma mobilização de investimentos financeiros e humanos que resultaram numa cobertura centrada e exaustiva. Os canais televisivos, público e privados, assumiram um papel de destaque na mediação dos acontecimentos, através da apresentação e da avaliação do «homem-papa» e das suas acções. Este facto traduziu-se em emissões monotemáticas, mas, mesmo assim, concorrenciais, atendendo à produção de reportagens contextuais e de directos, destacando-se a construção de palcos e cenários, os convidados-comentadores (leigos e religiosos) e os jornalistas/pivôs encarregados de conduzir as emissões. O presente artigo procura discutir a construção da «festa electrónica» do lado da produção e da recepção.

Vinte e seis anos depois da estreia do filme, este artigo pretende ir ao encontro da construção teologal de Godard relativamente à Anunciação do Anjo a Nossa Senhora, para ser mãe de Jesus. Terá Je vous salue, Marie constituído uma provocação, com um intuito meramente comercialista, ao mistério da Encarnação de Cristo?

A exposição do sagrado no museu
Creators: name: Roque, Maria Isabel
Publisher: name: Comunicação & Cultura
Year: 2011

description: O sagrado é interdito, pelo que a sua exposição no espaço profano do museu parece ser contraditória. O cristianismo, porém, estabelece uma relação inédita no âmbito das religiões, ao restringir a interdição de forma que os objectos do culto, quando desafectos, se tornem execrados e possam assumir uma função museológica. A história da museologia portuguesa faz-se, em grande parte, a partir de iniciativas eclesiásticas e com recurso a objectos de arte sacra. Contudo, nos primeiros museus, o objecto de religião era apresentado como objecto de arte. Só mais tarde os museólogos tomaram consciência da importância de apresentar dados relativos à função, ao significado e ao símbolo. Neste sentido, a museografia actual procura estratégias que realcem o conteúdo sagrado do património religioso.

description: Since the Romantic era in Europe, walking has shifted from an obligatory activity tied to livelihood, through mobility, to a recreational pursuit of life quality, engaging the landscape on foot. In the above quotation from the FABC, one of the earliest confederations of independent bushwalking or-ganisations in Australia, three elements make it germane: the bushwalker, the bush itself and the appreciation of the bush. As a therapeutic get-away from the city, bushwalking is amenable to “the mind and the body” and remedies the effects of urban stressors like “hustle and bustle.” Through walking, the urban dweller assumes the persona of an early European explorer − say John Eyre or Alexander von Humboldt − who charted terra nullius “where no man has trod before,” or at least no European human. Most significantly, the recreational bushwalker, who would have typically been a male member of the upper-classes, experiences a transformation of values, realising that the bush looms largely beyond the horizon of city life, and its urban, suburban and rural spheres of organisation and commerce.

description: In 1961 Klein anonymously deposited an ex-voto at the Convent of Santa Rita in Cascia, Italy. It was a devotion to aid his new commission for the Gelsenkirchen Opera House, Germany. The offering took the form of a small see-through plastic box containing five compartments: one filled with blue pigment, one with pink pigment, one with gold leaf, and the other two with the prayer text and three gold bars from his sale of the Void. This object is clearly animated by belief. The private prayer that Klein wrote asks for success in his new commission, protection from enemies, and the longevity of his art.

description: Acquired brain injury (ABI) and long-term neurological conditions (such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease), are major causes of disability in the UK, and can lead to significant physical, cognitive, neuro-behavioural, psychological and social difficulties for sufferers. Individuals affected by an ABI or neurological conditions commonly report difficulties around emotional adjustment, reduced attention, mental control, and self-efficacy and their health-related quality of life also often appears to be much reduced. Whilst conventional neuro-rehabilitation has tended to address physical and cognitive impairments and deficits rather than psychological sequelae, recently a growing trend for more holistic approaches appears to have emerged (e.g., Wilson et al., 2000, 2013). Amongst these approaches, mindfulness-based interventions (collectively known as MBIs) have sought to address this gap in terms of therapeutic intervention. There is a growing body of research evidence pointing to the utility of MBIs in the rehabilitation and support of these populations in improving perceived quality of life and increasing self-management of these conditions. However, the research still remains limited and debate persists in terms of the conceptual and theoretical framework of mindfulness. The present study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of an adapted, short-form MBI group programme for a mixed population of patients (n = 22) currently offered in a local neuro-rehabilitation service. A specific pre-post control group design was adopted in order to investigate whether the intervention produced improvements in mindfulness skills, and whether these would in turn lead to improvements in measures associated with self-efficacy and perceived quality of life. Results indicated participants completing the MBI group programme showed significantly higher mean scores across measures of mindfulness. The results also indicated that these improvements were predictive of improvements across self-efficacy and quality of life measures, with large effect sizes observed. The findings would appear to support the research hypothesis that a suitably modified MBI is beneficial for a mixed ABI population. Findings, study limitations, clinical relevance and implications, as well as methodological and theoretical considerations and directions for future research are discussed in light of the main research questions.

description: In 2008, renowned Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe remarked that almost everything he has written since the early 1960s has been influenced by Indigenous music “because that was a music … shaped by the landscape over 50,000 years.” His preference for accumulating “an effect of relentless prolongation” through the use of long drones has seen his music fail, until recently, to appeal to an Australian ear attuned to Bach and Mozart. His aim, however, has not been to satisfy the European-trained ear, but to “mirror the Australian outback”; to capture a sense of time and space that many Australians have repeatedly failed to access.

description: Since its original publication in the late 1980s, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons‟ Watchmen has been hailed as a masterpiece – “the Ulysses of graphic novels.” Serialised monthly in comic-book form throughout 1986 and 1987 before its dozen episodes were collected into a single volume, Watchmen, like most of the work in the comic-book medium, is fundamentally a superhero story, albeit one with a postmodern streak that upends and inverts the entire concept of the superhero.

description: In the last two decades Leonora Carrington's novel The Hearing Trumpet (henceforth referred to as THT) has received more attention within academic circles than it ever did at the time of its publication in 1974. Natalya Lusty, Susan Suleiman, and Gloria Feman Orenstein have discussed in much detail the novel‟s strong feminist ethos, as well as its subversion of Surrealist tropes. There is a tendency within scholarship and criticism of THT toward classifying Carrington's text as “Surrealist”; in most cases it is referred to as a novel that is subversive of Surrealist tenets, but one that remains nonetheless an instance of Surrealist literature. The influence that the Surrealist movement had on Carrington's work is undeniable and, in the case of THT, a prominent, most interesting feature of the novel. But by classifying THT solely as a Surrealist work, it is easy to disregard a number of equally important metaphysical, psychoanalytical and philosophical influ-ences present in Carrington's novel. Therefore, here I would like to take a different approach and argue that THT can be considered an early example of feminist magical realism. By adopting this nomenclature, I intend to ac-knowledge the presence in Carrington's text of hitherto unexplored elements of what would contemporarily be referred to as magic realist literature, but without ignoring the strong influence of Surrealism in the novel.

description: The two books under review seek, in quite different ways, to diagnose the ideological and cultural stagnation of early twenty-first century capitalism. At a time when neither “left” political parties nor current intellectual movements appear to provide genuine resistance or alternatives, both these books conclude by offering proposals for new ways of conceiving of left-wing politics and the role of intellectuals in their dissemination. Simon During and Mark Fisher identify this new stage of capitalism in which we are living in similar terms – During calls it “endgame” or “no-exit” capitalism, while Fisher adopts and adapts the term “capitalist realism” from the German pop art movement of the 1960s that bears that name.

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of dance and exercise to music on mood in those with Parkinson’s disease (PD). A series of five studies were conducted in order to explore whether there are physical and psychological benefits of dance and exercise to music for those with PD. This programme of research collected data in a variety of ways, over a number of weeks (study one – 10 weeks), through survey data (study two) and in peoples own homes (study three, four and five). These studies have focused on the effect of these activities on mood and as the programme of research developed, the role of socialisation became a key factor. These studies have concluded that mood is significantly improved following dance and movement to music, but that this may be moderated by social interaction. Mood effects observed during a social dance class initially appeared to be comparable to 30 minutes of exercise to music at home. This suggests that music and movement without the social aspect of a class could also evoke an improvement in mood. After further investigation, however, it appeared that mood may have been affected by the presence of the researcher as a social factor. Overall, this programme of research has suggested that dance and music to movement is a beneficial form of activity but that the social aspect of this is imperative to have an effect on mood.

description: This special issue of Colloquy contains seven papers from the Demanding the Impossible: Utopia, Dystopia and Science Fiction conference held at Monash University in December 2007. A companion publication, Demanding the Impossible: Utopia and Dystopia, previously published as a special issue of Arena Journal, also brought together papers from the conference. The Colloquy papers engage with the figures of utopia and dystopia as they appear both in literary forms and in political activity. A variety of theoretical approaches are deployed, including concepts from the field of Utopian Studies associated with the work of Fredric Jameson, Tom Moylan, Lyman Tower Sargent and Ernst Bloch. However, other names also appear that are not so readily associated with utopia or dystopia: Jacques Derrida, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Lacan, Pierre Macherey, Slavoj i ek, Giorgio Agamben. The scope of these theoretical sources is an index of the con-tributors innovative analyses and also an indication of just how productive a field of investigation is provided by the topoi of utopia and dystopia.

description: In this paper, a novel copolymer consisting of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate (AEMA) named as poly(SBMA-co-AEMA) was synthesized by conventional free-radical polymerization, the poly(SBMA-co-AEMA) zwitterionic copolymer was immobilized onto glass slides surface through polydopamine (PDA)-anchored coating and formed poly(SBMA-co-AEMA)-g-PDA coating. The defined copolymer was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR) and gel permeation chromatography. The surface morphology, thickness, and chemical component of poly(SBMA-co-AEMA)-g-PDA coating were studied by atom force microscope, ellipsometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The hydrophilicity and stability of these coatings were investigated by static water contact angles. And finally, the poly(SBMA-co-AEMA)-g-PDA coating was successfully applied into capillary inner surface for suppression electro-osmotic flow and protein separation by capillary electrophoresis.
A prospective observational study to investigate the effect of prehospital airway management strategies on mortality and morbidity of patients who experience return of spontaneous circulation post cardiac arrest and are transferred directly to regional Heart Attack Centres by the Ambulance Service

description: Introduction The most appropriate airway management technique for use by paramedics in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is yet to be determined and evidence relating to the influence of airway management strategy on outcome remains equivocal. In cases where return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) occurs following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, patients may undergo direct transfer to a specialist heart attack centre (HAC) where the post resuscitation 12 lead ECG demonstrates evidence of ST elevation myocardial infarction. To date, no studies have investigated the role of airway management strategy on outcomes in this sub-set of patients. The AMICABLE (Airway Management In Cardiac Arrest, Basic, Laryngeal mask airway, Endotracheal intubation) study therefore sought to investigate the influence of prehospital airway management strategy on outcomes in patients transferred by the ambulance service directly to a HAC post ROSC. Methods Adults with ROSC post out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who met local criteria for transfer to a HAC were identified prospectively. Ambulance records were reviewed to determine prehospital airway management approach and collect physiological and demographic data. HAC notes were obtained to determine in-hospital course and quantify neurological outcome via the Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale. Neurologically intact survivors were contacted post discharge to assess quality of life via the SF-36 health survey. Statistical analyses were performed via Chi-square, Mann Whitney U test, odds ratios, and binomial logistic regression. Results A total of 220 patients were recruited between August 2013 and August 2014, with complete outcome data available for 209. The age of patients ranged from 22-96 years and 71.3% were male (n=149). Airway management was undertaken using a supraglottic airway (SGA) in 72.7% of cases (n=152) with the remainder undergoing endotracheal intubation (ETI). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with good neurological outcome (CPC 1&2) between the SGA and ETI groups (p=.286). Similarly, binomial logistic regression incorporating factors known to influence outcome demonstrated no significant difference between the SGA and ETI groups (Adjusted OR 0.725, 95% CI 0.337-1.561). Clinical and demographic variables associated with good neurological outcome included the presence of a shockable rhythm (p
