description: We study the robustness of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) analysis to the underlying cosmological model. We focus on testing the standard BAO analysis that relies on the use of a template. These templates are constructed assuming a fixed fiducial cosmological model and used to extract the location of the acoustic peaks. Such "compressed analysis" had been shown to be unbiased when applied to the $Λ$CDM model and some of its extensions. However, it has not been known whether this type of analysis introduces biases in a wider range of cosmological models where the template may not fully capture relevant features in the BAO signal. In this study, we apply the compressed analysis to noiseless mock power spectra that are based on Horndeski models, a broad class of modified-gravity theories specified with eight additional free parameters. We study the precision and accuracy of the BAO peak-location extraction assuming DESI, DESI II, and MegaMapper survey specifications. We find that the bias in the extracted peak locations is negligible; for example, it is less than 10% of the statistical error for even the proposed future MegaMapper survey. Our findings indicate that the compressed BAO analysis is remarkably robust to the underlying cosmological model.

Patriarchy in literature

description: In Shakespeare's plays, women sometimes form alliances to protect each other from the oppressive patriarchal expectations of their time. These relationships often manifest as surrogate mother-daughter relationships, or a more sisterly connection. In Hamlet, Queen Gertrude adopts Ophelia as a surrogate daughter, exuding confidence in Ophelia's mind and attributes, rather than infantilizing or objectifying her as male figures do. The Nurse provides a mothering figure for Juliet as she struggles to gain control over her own sexuality and marital future in Romeo and Juliet. Beatrice and Hero in Much Ado about Nothing provide a mutual love and care for each other, protecting reputations and hearts from male abuses. In All's Well that Ends Well, Helena participates in multiple female alliances, forming a bond of love and support with her surrogate mother, the Countess, and a friendship with Diana and the Widow. These relationships and friendships provide a support system for women otherwise isolated and repressed by the male authority figures in their lives, giving them the chance to make their own decisions, and challenge the patriarchal societies in which they live.
Recovery: Darstellung eines Ansatzes für die Zusammenarbeit mit Menschen mit psychischer Beeinträchtigung

description: Die Soziale Arbeit ist so vielfältig, wie dem darin zu begegnenden Klientel. Menschen mit psychischer Beeinträchtigung sind fester Bestandteil der Gesellschaft und noch immer von Stigmatisierung und sozialem Ausschluss betroffen. Diese Stigmatisierung betrifft die weitverbreitete Ansicht, dass die Betroffenen von ihrer psychischen Beeinträchtigung nicht genesen können. Der Recovery-Ansatz wirkt dieser Stigmatisierung entgegen, indem er Menschen Mut und Hoffnung vermittelt und sie in ihren gesunden und funktionierenden Anteilen stärkt. Das Ziel liegt in einer möglichst hohen Lebensqualität, trotz und mit einer psychischen Beeinträchtigung. Mit Recovery ist der individuelle und persönliche Genesungsweg gemeint. Die Forschung bewegte sich entlang der Frage «Inwiefern eignet sich der Recovery-Ansatz für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Professionellen der Sozialen Arbeit und Menschen mit psychischer Beeinträchtigung?». Dazu ergänzend die Frage, wie Recovery diese Zusammenarbeit bereichert. Vier Expert*innen stellten ihr Praxiswissen mittels qualitativen Interviews zur Verfügung. Die Forschung hat ergeben, dass der Recovery-Ansatz als eine Grundhaltung zu verstehen ist. Diese beinhaltet als eine Handlungsmaxime den Grundsatz, dass der Klientel auf Augenhöhe begegnet wird. Die Klientel wird dabei als Expert*in der eigenen Beeinträchtigung angesehen. Ebenfalls zentral für die Umsetzung von Recovery sind Peers, die als Expert*innen aus Erfahrung in beratender Funktion in den Genesungsprozess eingebunden werden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass sich der Recovery-Ansatz für die Soziale Arbeit eignet. Es lässt sich jedoch vermuten, dass für eine Implementierung eine ausführliche Empirie notwendig ist.

Beneath the dark cloak of U.S. deportation: Bureaucratic distancing tactics employed by the deportation system
Creators: name: Ruiz, Loren
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Deportation -- United States

description: U.S. deportation policy is implemented behind a dark cloak of secrecy. Distancing tactics are employed throughout the deportation process to prevent those participating within the bureaucracy from feeling empathy for those they process. Pachirat (2011) provides a three-part template of analysis for the way that bureaucracies divorce morality from both those who participate within it and those who observe it from the outside. Concealment, distance, and sequestration are three mechanisms of power that prevent participants from recognizing the humanity of deportees. These distancing mechanisms prevent participants from feeling any sense of responsibility or guilt for their actions. A pervasive national narrative presents immigrants as offenders and thus deserving of U.S. enforcement. Because of this narrative, Pachirat's proposed "politics of sight", a solution of transparency, would not be sufficient to cause a public reaction worthy of bringing about formative change to deportation policy. Racism and xenophobia are the driving factors behind detention and deportation. This can be observed when U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin are regularly detained and deported all while being denied their rights to due process. The increase in the demand for detention leads to an increase in the revenue of private prisons corporations. Before exposure of deportation practices can have a formative effect on the way deportation processes are implemented, a change in the national perception of undocumented immigrants would have to occur.
title: Profiling deubiquitylase activity during the cell cycle reveals phosphorylation-dependent regulation of USP7 activity at G1/S
Creators: name: Darling, S
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2017

description: Ubiquitylation is a well-defined regulator of the cell cycle, as temporal degradation of cell cycle effectors is essential to ensure unidirectional progression. A family of approximately 100 deubiquitylases (DUBs) antagonise ubiquitylation and therefore may also play important roles in cell cycle progression. Several DUBs have been associated with the governance of checkpoint transitions through RNA interference screens, yet the periodic regulation of DUB catalytic activity remains unexplored. This project aimed to generate the first global study of cell cycle-dependent DUB regulation. Active site-directed ubiquitin probes were incubated with extracts from synchronised A549 cell populations enriched for key cell cycle phases. Those DUBs with accessible and reactive active sites were detected by specific immunoblotting, or unbiased triple-labelled mass spectrometry, to comprehensively profile global DUB activity throughout the cell cycle. Twenty-three DUBs were identified, most exhibited differential activity during the cell cycle and interestingly there was pervasive downregulation of DUB activity during mitosis. Further analysis revealed clusters of DUBs that were co-regulated during the cell cycle, the largest of which exhibited increased activity during S-phase coupled with a notable reduction in activity at mitosis. This periodic profile of DUB activity was observed for USP7. A comparative analysis of USP7 abundance and activity identified proportionally increased activity during G1/S; this coincided with an increase USP7 phosphorylation at serine 18 (S18). GFP-tagged USP7 constructs were generated harbouring non-phosphorylatable (S18A) or phospho-mimetic (S18E) mutations to investigate the role of phosphorylation in a cellular context. Exogenously expressed USP7-S18A, but not USP7-S18E, exhibited decreased reactivity towards active site-directed ubiquitin probes. Furthermore, both USP7-S18A and catalytically inactive USP7-C223S displayed increased cytoplasmic localisation compared to wild-type USP7. This suggests activity-dependent localisation that could alter the availability of USP7 for certain substrates. Importantly, the role of S18 phosphorylation was elucidated in an in vitro setting using bacterially expressed USP7. CK2 phosphorylation directly potentiated USP7 catalytic activity, increasing cleavage of K48-linked tetra-ubiquitin chains and ubiquitin-AMC compared to the non-phosphorylated USP7. Enzyme kinetics demonstrated 5-fold higher activity towards ubiquitin-AMC, predominantly through increased Kcat. This is the first report that S18-phosphorylation of USP7 fundamentally augments catalytic activity. In a cellular context, this is elevated at G1/S, affects subcellular compartmentalisation and may alter affinity towards specific substrates.

description: Training of medical students, interns and residents (junior professionals, JP) happens predominantly through workplace learning. This is supported by medical specialists (MS) and varies by MS, workplace, medical specialty, and social context. This study aimed to gain insights into the facilitation of workplace learning in clinical practice by MS. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with MS at the gynaecology and paediatrics department in an academic and three non-academic hospitals in the Netherlands. Participants were purposively sampled to be involved in the training of JP. Transcribed interviews were thematically analysed to describe facilitators and barriers for workplace learning. Workplace learning was interpreted as a broad concept, with some MS acknowledging its occurrence beyond created opportunities. Four themes revealed facilitators and barriers related to (1) Connection and alignment, (2) Attitude, (3) Organizational and learning dynamics, and (4) Policy and Logistics. Our research suggests MS’ beliefs and awareness regarding workplace learning guide their ability to recognize and utilize learning moments. Our findings underscore the importance of a work environment for MS that is founded on interpersonal relationships, supportive logistics of healthcare institutions and a culture of active involvement within the team, all of which are essential for recognizing and utilizing learning opportunities.
Kindgerechte Beratung in der Schulsozialarbeit: Gestaltungsansätze zur Kommunikation in der systemisch-lösungsorientierten Arbeit mit jüngeren Kindern

description: Die systemisch-lösungsorientierte Beratung von jüngeren Kindern stellt Schulsozialarbeitende vor die Herausforderung, ihre Arbeitsweise und Kommunikation kindgerecht zu gestalten. Der Anspruch dazu ergibt sich aus dem Professionalisierungsprozess Sozialer Arbeit in der Schule. Menschen – und damit auch jüngere Kinder – stecken voller Ressourcen. Professionelle Schulsozialarbeit knüpft an diese an und berücksichtig entwicklungsbedingte Besonderheiten. Spielerische und bildhafte Zugänge, Metakommunikation sowie eine kindsspezifische Beziehungsgestaltung sind dabei von besonderer Bedeutung. Erfahrungen aus der Praxis zeigen, dass Kinder sehr empfänglich für lösungsorientierte Arbeitsweisen sind. Das Kind und dessen Anliegen müssen dabei zwingend in den Mittelpunkt der Zusammenarbeit gerückt werden. Ist dem nicht der Fall, werden wichtige Grundsätze systemisch-lösungsorientierten Arbeitens untergraben. Eine professionelle Schulsozialarbeit hat Machtunterschiede im Gespräch grösstmöglich auszugleichen. Sie pflegt einen reflektierten Umgang mit Aufträgen und Anliegen Dritter und positioniert sich mittels Bezugs zur Profession der Sozialen Arbeit. Die vorliegende Arbeit vertieft wesentliche Aspekte der Beratungstätigkeit durch die Schulsozialarbeit im Sinne deren Professionalisierung. Die anschliessenden Erläuterungen des systemisch-lösungsorientierten Ansatzes und der kindgerechten Kommunikation mit jüngeren Kindern ermöglichen eine Verknüpfung der Themenbereiche, um praxisrelevantes Wissen abzuleiten.

Storytelling and the patient experience: Narratives of breast cancer survivors
Creators: name: Vlasic, Kajsa
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015
Subjects: Breast cancer patients' writings

description: Through my young life, I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded and supported by a loving and extended family of mothers. Although I will only have one biological mom, I have collected other women as role models and confidantes who have guided and spoken words of encouragement through my most intense years of growth. Collectively, I call them my second moms. After my biological mother's diagnosis with breast cancer, I realized that most of these women I look up to also carried with them histories of breast cancer and many survived their own battles with the disease. The current medical world is one inundated with increasing amounts of technology where medicine becomes a field with fewer face-to-face interactions and more screens. Doctors spend less time with their patients and more time comparing numbers and images. The burgeoning field of narrative medicine, however, offers a perspective of the individual rather than the general masses often referred to in the statistics of disease. It bears witness to the human experience of pain and suffering by engaging the individual story. Through the lens of narrative medicine, this project explores the roles of storytelling in the patient-physician relationship and documents the narratives of eight breast cancer survivors. Each story included was transcribed from an audio recording of the original interview and then appropriate sections were chosen and condensed into a concise, written rendition of each woman's experience. Certain words were changed or deleted, but story content was maintained.

description: This scoping review aimed to synthesize the analytical techniques used and methodological limitations encountered when undertaking secondary research using residual neonatal dried blood spot (DBS) samples. Studies that used residual neonatal DBS samples for secondary research (i.e. research not related to newborn screening for inherited genetic and metabolic disorders) were identified from six electronic databases: Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, Medline, PubMed and Scopus. Inclusion was restricted to studies published from 1973 and written in or translated into English that reported the storage, extraction and testing of neonatal DBS samples. Sixty-seven studies were eligible for inclusion. Included studies were predominantly methodological in nature and measured various analytes, including nucleic acids, proteins, metabolites, environmental pollutants, markers of prenatal substance use and medications. Neonatal DBS samples were stored over a range of temperatures (ambient temperature, cold storage or frozen) and durations (two weeks to 40.5 years), both of which impacted the recovery of some analytes, particularly amino acids, antibodies and environmental pollutants. The size of DBS sample used and potential contamination were also cited as methodological limitations. Residual neonatal DBS samples retained by newborn screening programs are a promising resource for secondary research purposes, with many studies reporting the successful measurement of analytes even from neonatal DBS samples stored for long periods of time in suboptimal temperatures and conditions.

description: In April of 2009, a group of high school students from Summit County, Utah who were on vacation in Mexico during spring break contracted a new strain of the H1N1 virus that was quickly spreading throughout Mexico and the U.S. Immediately following the outbreak, situation updates were being sent from the CDC through local health departments and directed toward schools. Concerned health department officials worried that all of this information was not being immediately delivered to the parents of students in affected schools. The goal of this study was to conduct a total sample survey of all parents of students in two of the initially affected schools, Park City High School and Treasure Mountain Junior High. A 20-item questionnaire was created to determine the parents' preferred method of receiving school health information and assess parents' opinions on school closure, absenteeism, and disease prevention. Of the 1700 surveys distributed, 161 were returned. The data were entered into an SPSS database and analyzed for descriptive statistics (percentages, numbers). The results suggested that 87.7% of the parents preferred health information be sent to them rather than posted in a location that they must seek out. Email messages were preferred over website postings. Most parents (88.7%) were in favor of immediate school closure in the event of an outbreak of a highly contagious disease. Finally, while many parents felt that the school was doing a moderately good job of educating students on how to prevent spreading disease, there was some improvement needed in this area. Though the threat of the 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak has largely been alleviated for now, new strains of seasonal flu are constantly a threat. This survey showed that parents have distinct opinions about the dissemination of health information and the need for it to be delivered directly to them in the event of a crisis. Repeating parent opinion surveys every few years to include incoming students is highly recommended to create clearer lines of communication and possibly decrease the spread of disease in the event of a contagious disease outbreak in the future.

description: A general principle suggests that "anything flat is a directed colimit of countably presentable flats". In this paper, we consider resolutions and coresolutions of modules over a countably coherent ring $R$ (e.g., any coherent ring or any countably Noetherian ring). We show that any $R$-module of flat dimension $n$ is a directed colimit of countably presentable $R$-modules of flat dimension at most $n$, and any flatly coresolved $R$-module is a directed colimit of countably presentable flatly coresolved $R$-modules. If $R$ is a countably coherent ring with a dualizing complex, then any F-totally acyclic complex of flat $R$-modules is a directed colimit of F-totally acyclic complexes of countably presentable flat $R$-modules. The proofs are applications of an even more general category-theoretic principle going back to an unpublished 1977 preprint of Ulmer. Our proof of the assertion that every Gorenstein-flat module over a countably coherent ring is a directed colimit of countably presentable Gorenstein-flat modules uses a different technique, based on results of Saroch and Stovicek. We also discuss totally acyclic complexes of injectives and Gorenstein-injective modules, obtaining various cardinality estimates for the accessibility rank under various assumptions.

description: We present our analysis of VLT/UVES and X-shooter observations of six very metal-poor stars, including four stars at [Fe/H]$\approx$$-3$ in the Fornax and Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. To date, this metallicity range in these two galaxies has not yet been investigated fully, or at all in some cases. The chemical abundances of 25 elements are presented, based on 1D and local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) model atmospheres. We discuss the different elemental groups, and find that $α$- and iron-peak elements in these two systems are generally in good agreement with the Milky Way halo at the same metallicity. Our analysis reveals that none of the six stars we studied exhibits carbon enhancement, which is noteworthy given the prevalence of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars without s-process enhancement (CEMP-no) in the Galaxy at similarly low metallicities. Our compilation of literature data shows that the fraction of CEMP-no stars in dSph galaxies is significantly lower than in the Milky Way, and than in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. Furthermore, we report the discovery of the lowest metallicity, [Fe/H]=$-2.92$, r-process rich (r-I) star in a dSph galaxy. This star, fnx_06_019, has $\rm[Eu/Fe]=+0.8$, and also shows enhancement of La, Nd, and Dy, $\rm[X/Fe]>+0.5$. Our new data in Carina and Fornax help populate the extremely low metallicity range in dSph galaxies, and add to the evidence of a low fraction of CEMP-no stars in these systems.

description: The Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Facility (SLVSWMF) in Salt Lake City, Utah, is considering changing how municipal solid waste (MSW) is managed. Specifically, the SLVSWMF is planning to shred all incoming MSW prior to landfilling. Landfilled solid waste at the SLVSWMF is mixed and typical of MSW in the United States, consisting of incompressible and compressible types of waste. Shredding MSW reduces void space and creates a more easily compacted mass. To test the density and rebound of shredded and nonshredded MSW, a 1 yd3 steel compactor was constructed, which has the ability to deliver a load of up to 11125 lb/ft2. Compaction pressure was designed to simulate the in-situ compaction typically achieved at the landfill by use of a mobile compactor. MSW was loaded into the compactor until filled, and incremental loads were applied until11125 lb/ft2 was reached and was measured using a pressure gauge. Shredded waste was generated using a waste shredder unit, which incorporates low speed, high-torque technology. The mass and volume of compacted waste were also recorded, which allowed for the determination of densities under applied pressure. The initial average in-place density was 297 lb/yd3for the nonshredded MSW and 592 lb/yd3 for the shredded MSW. The final average in-place density was determined to be 626 lb/yd3 for the nonshredded MSW and 1144 lb/yd3 for the shredded MSW, both of which were calculated after the maximum load had been applied, released, and left to rebound for 24 hours. Rebound of the nonshredded and shredded MSW was similar between the two with an average of 3.1 inches for the nonshredded MSW and 3 inches, respectively, for the shredded MSW. Overall this research indicates that compaction of shredded MSW creates a more structurally stable mass that is much denser than nonshredded MSW. The average final in-place density of shredded MSW is 65.1% greater than the average final in-place density of nonshredded MSW. The increase in final in-place density of shredded MSW translates directly into a volume savings of 39.4%. Should municipalities decide to shred solid waste, a significant amount of landfill volume will be conserved.

description: There is a lack of research on the literature concerning the policies and procedures higher education institutions and their employees utilize when responding to a student  suicide attempt or suicide. Current research on college student suicide is limited for several reasons: (a) there are no federal, state, local, or institutional requirements for higher education institutions to report the number of attempts or suicides on campus; as a result, complete and accurate statistics on college student suicide are not available, (b) there are limited federal, state, local, or institutional directives that guide higher education protocols and procedures for students at risk, and (c) there are inadequate resources and information for evidenced-based practices and programs to prevent or  intervene in the case of a suicide attempt or suicide. Consequently, higher education prevention and intervention strategies that specifically address the management and response to a student suicide attempt or suicide differ extensively from campus to campus.

Light pollution hazards within ecosystems and mitigation strategies for the future

Subjects: Light pollution Lighting -- Environmental aspects

description: Light Pollution is a phenomenon caused by poor lighting design, and is increasing globally. Only recently are scientists beginning to fully understand how light pollution affects humans and the environment. Birds, which play an important role in our ecosystem, are vulnerable to light pollution effects through fatal light attraction. Nocturnal migrants are especially vulnerable, as they use celestial cues as part of their navigation. It is estimated that over a billion birds die from collisions with buildings each year in North America. Lighting design is an important factor in bird mortality at human built structures. The transnational migration of birds provides a global context for the wide reaching effects of light pollution. And although a global issue, local municipal policy initiatives have been the most effective toward decreasing light pollution and increasing awareness of the issue. Continued advocacy, technological advances, and community organizing will be necessary to address this problem.
Soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in a semiarid urban ecosystem

description: The Earth's soils hold an estimated 1500 Pg of carbon and 100 Pg of nitrogen. Soils  thus figure prominently into global C and N cycling. Human-related land cover changes  have the potential to alter soil C and N pools, with implications for atmospheric CO2  concentrations, ecosystem nitrogen availability, and other global and regional  characteristics. Land cover modifications associated with urbanization are occurring at  high rates in the USA and elsewhere, yet studies of such changes are currently  underrepresented in the ecological literature. This thesis examines the effects of  urbanization on soil C and N stocks in a semiarid region of the US. Soil samples were  collected and analyzed from 38 residential parcels ranging in age from 7 to 100 years.  Along this urban age gradient in the Salt Lake Valley, UT metropolitan area, soil organic  C (SOC) and total N (TN) stocks increased significantly as a function of yard age. The  strongest trends and largest gains were observed in the upper 20 cm beneath lawns. At  this depth yard age was the site characteristic exerting the greatest influence on lawn  SOC and TN stocks, eclipsing other factors such soil texture, prior land use and  elevation. SOC and TN were highly correlated at all depths and beneath all pervious  ground covers, indicating a close association between C and N cycling in this urban  ecosystem. Inorganic C content of soils was highly variable both within and between sites  and showed no trend with regard to yard age. For the upper 20 cm of residential lawns,  the results presented here suggest a more than three-fold increase in average SOC and  more than two-fold increase in average TN following a century of urban land use. These  gains exceed the average amount of C and N measured in aboveground tree biomass on  residential study sites.

Understanding and treating diabetic retinopathy

Subjects: Diabetic retinopathy

description: Diabetic retinopathy is a neurovascular disease of the retina and is the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population in the United States. Complications as a result of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) break down the blood-retina barrier (BRB) and retinal vasculature. Current treatments have been shown to be ineffective in rescuing the damaged neurovasculature and often do not restore visual acuity. Endothelial cells line the vasculature in the circulatory system and are essential to maintain vascular integrity. These cells act as a highly selective permeable barrier between the lumen of the cardiovascular system and surrounding tissues, allowing certain materials to pass in and out of the bloodstream. Hyperglycemia compromises the endothelium and creates vascular leakage, which advances diabetic retinopathy and can lead to vision loss if left untreated. The purpose of this project was to ultimately test whether or not COMP-Ang1, a novel molecule designed to mirror the native Angiopoietin 1 protein, can prevent and/or rescue the compromised integrity of the cardiovascular endothelium. The effects of COMP-Ang1 on HRMVECs were determined using ECIS and Western blots. Here we show that COMP-Ang1 increased barrier resistance compared to Ang1 and PBS in HRMVECs and VEGF decreased barrier resistance compared to PBS, even in the presence of COMPAng1. Western blots showed COMP-Ang1 decreased Src phosphorylation and increased VE-cadherin compared to cells treated with PBS. VEGF increased Src phosphorylation and decreased VE-cadherin compared to PBS. All Western blot samples showed equal amounts of GAPDH, demonstrating that sample sizes were consistent between experiments. This study also shows that COMP-Ang1 was able to reverse structural damage caused by diabetic retinopathy in the Ins2Akita mouse model simulating Type 1 diabetes. Based on these results, we conclude that COMP-Ang1 promotes endothelial barrier integrity and increases VE-cadherin stabilization while decreasing Src phosphorylation. Because barrier integrity and VE-cadherin are compromised in diabetic retinopathy and lead to vascular leakage and other harmful pathologies, COMP-Ang1 could serve as a therapeutic agent when treating diabetic retinopathy and other diseases that compromise vascular integrity.

The presence of environmental advocacy through the foundational theology of love, contemplation, and prayer in midcentury christiantiy
Creators: name: Posselli, Darcy
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Environmental Studies, Honors

description: In the 1968 essay "The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis," Lynn White Jr. makes an argument for what he evaluates as the influence of Christianity on Western culture, which has led to the environmental degradation that marks the 20th century. By looking at a few prominent theologians who were writing around mid 20th century, this paper argues a new perspective of the role of Christianity as a cultural force towards environmental advocacy. The writings of Paul Tillich, Thomas Merton, Ernesto Cardenal, and Denise Levertov are evaluated. For each theologian, the concepts of selfless love toward and contemplative prayer evoked by nature are major themes found in Christianity. Therefore, these thinkers advocate environmental care as a natural aspect of Christianity before and during the beginning of the modern environmental movement. In the paper, these concepts are evaluated through the lens of poetry. The role of poetry is evaluated because a lyrical treatment of the subject points back to the idea that nature evokes prayer, which naturally leads the human heart to self sacrificial love, and out of that love springs the poetry of environmental advocacy. Ultimately, in evaluating the works of the mentioned writers, the paper argues that the environmental crisis should not be viewed through the conception of history that White represents in his paper. Indeed there are several writers and advocates of environmental care present in Christianity throughout its history. As such, a linear, cause-and-effect evaluation that puts blame on Christianity is not an entirely valid argument.

description: This study contrasts the characteristics of clients using military mental health services in deployed and nondeployed settings, the communications between their mental health providers and commanders, and the impact of mental health services on their military duties. The study explored the rates of command communication and duty restrictions across settings and referral sources. Diagnoses and prior mental health service utilization were also tested to determine if they predicted significant mental health problems resulting in duty restrictions for clients in deployed settings.  The study used secondary data from two predominantly Air Force sources: (1) deployed data collected in 2005 at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar; and (2) nondeployed data collected in 2001 at various nondeployed settings. Chi-square analyses were used to compare the demographic variables, command communication and duty restrictions. Among self-referrals, there were higher rates of command communication and duty restrictions in the deployed setting. Further analysis found that the rate of self-referral to mental health services did not vary significantly across settings despite the barriers of increased command communications and duty restrictions in the deployed setting. Finally, binomial logistic regression analyses did not find that either prior mental health service utilization or diagnosis predicted significant mental health problems that resulted in duty restrictions while deployed. This study extends the findings of Rowan and Campise's 2006 initial nondeployed study into the deployed environment. The findings also contribute to the literature regarding deployed military mental health clients, predeployment screenings and provider training while offering future recommendations to expand research to other locations and military services.
