title: Religiosity In Rural England : The Examination Of Towler's Conventional Religious Types
Creators: name: Short, Christopher John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1996

description: In 1984 Towler published The Need for Certainty, which sets out five ideal-types of conventional religiosity; exemplarism, conversionism, theism, gnosticism and traditionalism. This thesis aims to examine the nature of 'religious belief, as defined by Towler, in a sample of rural parishioners interviewed during the Rural Church Project (1988-91). Towler's work originated from letters written to John Robinson, then Bishop of Woolwich, when he published Honest to God. Consequently, his work is empirical but qualitative rather than quantitative. A weakness he recognises by indicating that he has only revealed the spectrum of religious belief rather than examining it. The Social Science Citation Index shows Towler's work to have been widely reviewed but sparingly cited between 1984-95. This thesis seeks to be strong where Towler's work is weak by using a quantitative and representative sample. The data is divided into religious belief sub-samples using 12 statements from which respondents selected one as being closest to their own religious outlook. The five subsamples which correspond with Towler's religious types represent 44% of the whole sample. Each sub-sample is assessed against religious characteristics which Towler attributes to that type; in conversionism and traditionalism the compatibility is good, there are similarities with theism and gnosticism but little common ground for exemplarism. The sociography of each sub-sample is developed and a similar picture of compatibility appears. The remainder of the sample chose two statements. This thesis suggests these two sub-samples, shown to be religiously and sociographically distinct, constitute conventional religious types which did not appear in Towler's data. The first involves those who are still 'searching for the Truth', they are perhaps similar to Hedonism as defined by Wilson (1985) . The second group are religiously uncertain and detached but not irreligious, perhaps representing agnostics.

description: We present a new phase-field model of solidification which allows efficient computations in the regime when interface kinetic effects dominate over capillary effects. The asymptotic analysis required to relate the parameters in the phase-field with those of the original sharp interface model is straightforward, and the resultant phase-field model can be used for a wide range of material parameters.

description: Data available in the literature of lattice parameter changes in Ni, Cu and MgO single crystals irradiated in neutron reactors are tentatively reproduced using ad hoc ion irradiation experiments. The nature and energy of the ions were selected so that their weighted average recoil spectrum matches at best that of the neutron flux inside the reactor. The ion fluence was calculated to obtain similar, average displacements per atom (dpa) levels. The lattice parameters of the irradiated samples were determined using X-ray diffraction. We show that, for the metals, it is not possible to reproduce the neutron data, essentially because the dpa levels are low and the irradiated, damaged volume is small. On the contrary, for MgO, a very close lattice parameter change is obtained, providing that the irradiation temperature is significantly increased (1000 K) with respect to that in the reactor (300 K).

description:
The KRAS mutation is the most common oncogenic driver in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a detailed understanding of how self-reported race and/or ethnicity (SIRE), genetically inferred ancestry (GIA), and their interaction affect KRAS mutation is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the associations between SIRE, quantitative GIA, and KRAS mutation and its allele-specific subtypes in a multi-ethnic cohort of 3,918 patients from the Boston Lung Cancer Survival cohort and the Chinese OrigiMed cohort with an independent validation cohort of 1,450 patients with NSCLC. This comprehensive analysis included detailed covariates such as age at diagnosis, sex, clinical stage, cancer histology, and smoking status. We report that SIRE is significantly associated with KRAS mutations, modified by sex, with SIRE-Asian patients showing lower rates of KRAS mutation, transversion substitution, and the allele-specific subtype KRASG12C compared to SIRE-White patients after adjusting for potential confounders. Moreover, GIA was found to correlate with KRAS mutations, where patients with a higher proportion of European ancestry had an increased risk of KRAS mutations, especially more transition substitutions and KRASG12D. Notably, among SIRE-White patients, an increase in European ancestry was linked to a higher likelihood of KRAS mutations, whereas an increase in admixed American ancestry was associated with a reduced likelihood, suggesting that quantitative GIA offers additional information beyond SIRE. The association of SIRE, GIA, and their interplay with KRAS driver mutations in NSCLC highlights the importance of incorporating both into population-based cancer research, aiming to refine clinical decision-making processes and mitigate health disparities.

description: Botanical insecticides as a means of controlling insects present an alternative approach that is safer than the use of synthetic insecticides. The present study identified the insecticidal activity of extracts of the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd. and seven isolated phenylpropanoids against the second instar of Spodoptera litura Fab. by topical application. The ethyl acetate extract had the highest toxicity on this insect with LD50 values of 1.68 and 1.25 μg/larva after 24 and 48 h posttreatment, respectively. Among the seven phenylpropanoids separated from the ethyl acetate extract, 1′S-1′-acetoxychavicol acetate was identified as the most active compound with LD50 values of 1.63 and 1.40 μg/larva after 24 and 48 h posttreatment, respectively, followed by p-coumaryl diacetate. In addition, the two active compounds decreased glutathione S-transferase activity and increased acetylcholinesterase activity. p-Coumaryl diacetate also decreased carboxylesterase activity.

description: Dark photon dark matter will resonantly convert into visible photons when the dark photon mass is equal to the plasma frequency of the ambient medium. In cosmological contexts, this transition leads to an extremely efficient, albeit short-lived, heating of the surrounding gas. Existing work in this field has been predominantly focused on understanding the implications of these resonant transitions in the limit that the plasma frequency of the Universe can be treated as being perfectly homogeneous, \ie neglecting inhomogeneities in the electron number density. In this work we focus on the implications of heating from dark photon dark matter in the presence of inhomogeneous structure (which is particularly relevant for dark photons with masses in the range $10^{-15} \, {\rm eV} \, \lesssim m_{A^\prime} \lesssim 10^{-12}$ eV), emphasizing both the importance of inhomogeneous energy injection, as well as the sensitivity of cosmological observations to the inhomogeneities themselves. More specifically, we derive modified constraints on dark photon dark matter from the Ly-$α$ forest, and show that the presence of inhomogeneities allows one to extend constraints to masses outside of the range that would be obtainable in the homogeneous limit, while only slightly relaxing their strength. We then project sensitivity for near-future cosmological surveys that are hoping to measure the 21cm transition in neutral hydrogen prior to reionization, and demonstrate that these experiments will be extremely useful in improving sensitivity to masses near $\sim 10^{-14}$ eV, potentially by several orders of magnitude. Finally, we discuss implications for reionization, early star formation, and late-time $y$-type spectral distortions, and show that probes which are inherently sensitive to the inhomogeneous state of the Universe could resolve signatures unique to the light dark photon...

description: A southern Land-Grant University (LGU) conducted an economic impact study of its Cooperative Extension and Agricultural Research Centers. The Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities promotes the use of economic impact studies, however their design is business innovation-centric, deemphasizing the human capital development component that Extension provides. Literature on economic impact theoretical frameworks or proven methodological approaches to assess both the technical and human innovation side of an organization of this size, scale, and scope is limited. This led to the design of an exploratory qualitative study to determine what impacts should and could be measured, and how to attribute an economic value to particular research and extension programming. An analysis of input from industry stakeholders, administrators, and practitioners helped determine that the dominant economic impact assessment tools: large scale input-output models and small scale return on investment and productivity studies, have limitations in accurately operationalizing economic impact calculations for such a large state-wide organization. Initial results of this study demonstrate that both public and private innovations and technical assistance have impacts on the economy. This study exposed measures, methods and recommendations for future economic impact study design.

description: Social identity theory suggests that the degree to which people identity with an organizational group can have multiple beneficial outcomes. This research focuses on how membership in and engagement with a Veterans Service Organization (VSO) relate to veterans' social isolation and perceptions that military service was beneficial to society, ultimately leading to improved veterans' health. Data from an online survey of 444 military veterans show that physical attendance and the degree to which veterans identify identification with the VSO play different roles in improving veterans' lives. Not only is VSO attendance linked to reduced social isolation but social isolation is further reduced when members both attend and feel strong social identification with the VSO. The degree to which veterans identify with the VSO is also directly linked to greater perceptions of benefit-finding from military service, even for those who do not physically partake in the VSO's activities. Lesser isolation and greater benefit-finding are related to lower levels of posttraumatic stress symptomology. The results suggest that VSOs may be integrated into new approaches to assist veterans' transition from military into civilian life.

description: As a part of the new UBC SUB project, the AMS is implementing a waste-reducing vending machine. This machine will offer students reusable products, such as coffee cups, cutlery, and office supplies. This report assesses the feasibility of stocking refillable office supplies; specifically pens, pencils, and highlighters. The analysis is done using a triple bottom line assessment, looking at the social, environmental, and economic impacts of stocking such supplies. For the social analysis, a survey was conducted that presented students with a collection of refillable school supplies and students were asked to choose their favourites. Information into the product’s recycled content and cost were given to help aid the decision. The environmental analysis compared manufactures and specific models of supplies for the types of materials used, the amount of recycled material, the company’s environmental policy, and packaging options in order to evaluate the environmental friendliness of products. With these recommendations, the economic analysis looked at which socially accepted, environmentally friendly products could be optimized from a cost perspective, and where these products can be purchased. The final recommendation of this triple bottom line analysis is that the Waste Reducing Vending Machine be stocked with Pilot products: Pilot BeGreen B2P Gel Pen; Pilot BeGreen Precise V5 Rolling Ball Pen; Pilot Begreen Progrex 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil; Their respective refills.

description: The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a vital role in regional and global climate change. The TP has been undergoing significant surface warming starting from 1850, with an air temperature increase of 1.39 K and surface solar dimming resulting from decreased incident solar radiation. The causes and impacts of solar dimming on surface warming are unclear. In this study, long-term (from 1850 to 2015) surface downward radiation datasets over the TP are developed by integrating 18 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) models and satellite products. The validation results from two ground measurement networks show that the generated downward surface radiation datasets have a higher accuracy than the mean of multiple CMIP5 datasets and the fused datasets of reanalysis and satellite products. After analyzing the generated radiation data with four air temperature datasets, we found that downward shortwave radiation (DSR) remained stable before 1950 and then declined rapidly at a rate of −0.53 W m−2 per decade, and that the fastest decrease in DSR occurs in the southeastern TP. Evidence from site measurements, satellite observations, reanalysis, and model simulations suggested that the TP solar dimming was primarily driven by increased anthropogenic aerosols. The TP solar dimming is stronger in summer, at the same time that the increasing magnitude of the surface air temperature is the smallest. The cooling effect of solar dimming offsets surface warming on the TP by 0.80±0.28 K (48.6±17.3 %) in summer since 1850. It helps us understand the role of anthropogenic aerosols in climate warming and highlights the need for additional studies to be conducted to quantify the influence of air pollution on regional climate change over the TP.

description: Consistent with the trend witnessed in other European countries, in recent years there has been an increasing demand among Hungarian consumers for products purchased directly from farmers. However, no research has been published on the determination of clusters of consumers of short food supply chain (SFSC) products in Hungary. This study describes which groups of consumers are more likely to purchase such products, and their reasons for doing so. In the summer of 2013, 1,015 randomly-sampled adults were asked to complete questionnaires during face-to-face, on-street meetings with trained staff. The survey explored their willingness to support direct sales and production of local foods, their perceptions of product reliability, and their attitudes toward global supply-driven systems. As it was not possible to identify a clear structure of factors determining opinions, perceptions and attitudes directly from the results of the questionnaires, principal component analysis was performed, and K-mean cluster analysis was used to partition the respondents into five clusters. These were labelled ‘Favouring imports and large farms’, ‘Favouring small farms’, ‘Informed and empowered consumers group in favour of local farms’, ‘Universally positive’ and ‘Unconcerned’. This method was effective in identifying groups of potential target consumers. The level of support for local foods rises with increasing age, and is higher among women, the more highly educated, those that are economically active or retired, and those that consider themselves as having an average income. The results can be used to promote the demand for SFSC products in Hungary through more effective targeting of marketing activities by farmers involved in direct selling, and their organisations.

description: We study the mass, width and couplings of the lightest vector multiplet. Effective field theories based on chiral symmetry and a 1/N_C counting are adopted in order to describe the vector form factor associated to the two-pseudoscalar matrix element of the QCD vector current. The bare poles of the intermediate s-channel resonances are regularized through a Dyson-Schwinger-like summation. This procedure provides many interesting properties, as the pole mass M_rho{pole}= 764.1 +- 2.7 (^{+4.0}_{-2.5}) MeV and the chiral coupling L9^r(mu0)= (7.04 +- 0.05 (^{+0.19}_{-0.27}))* 10^{-3}, at mu0=770 MeV. We show how the running affects the resonance parameters and that mu is really unphysical, so saturation occurs at any scale.

description: When companies fail and withdraw their brands from the marketplace, consumers may retain positive affect and abiding loyalty to discontinued brands. This research, anchored in the extant brand relationship literature, introduces the concept of transference from psychiatry to explore the ways in which consumers' continuing relationships with a defunct brand impact the relational trajectories with competing and substitute brands in the marketplace. A unique study was conducted in New Zealand. The Georgie Pie brand was purchased and killed by McDonald's, leaving distraught consumers and room for a new competitor, Burger King, to enter the marketplace. The ways in which competitors replaced Georgie Pie differed by geographic region, and an analysis by region revealed that, under the right market conditions, transference of allegiance from the dead brand to competitor alternatives is possible, even toward the corporation deemed guilty for the failure of the beloved brand.

description: In this paper, we propose to enhance learned image compression systems with a richer probability model for the latent variables. Previous works model the latents with a Gaussian or a Laplace distribution. Inspired by binary arithmetic coding , we propose to signal the latents with three binary values and one integer, with different probability models. A relaxation method is designed to perform gradient-based training. The richer probability model results in a better entropy coding leading to lower rate. Experiments under the Challenge on Learned Image Compression (CLIC) test conditions demonstrate that this method achieves 18% rate saving compared to Gaussian or Laplace models.

description: To understand the status of phytoplankton community of the Genhe River in the summer of 2015, we investigated the phytoplankton in Genhe River. We identified 5 phyla and 36 species, among which Bacillariophyta (23) were the most, followed by Chlorophyta (10), Cyanophyta (1), Chrysophyta (1), Pyrrophyta (1). The phytoplankton abundance was (15.6-810)×104 ind·L－1; the biomass was (0.07-2.876) mg·L－1; Shannon-wiener index was 1.05-3.24; Pielou evenness index was 0.27-0.96. Using Shannon-wiener index and Pielou index, the water quality of Genhe River was assessed, and the results showed that the water quality was the best at 5# sampling point, the water quality was good in 3#, 4#, 7#, 8#, 9# sampling points, and there was a state of pollution at other sampling points. Canonical correspondence analysis and Pearson correlation analysis showed that iron ion, transparency, pH value, water depth and water temperature were important environmental factors that affect the distribution of phytoplankton, and copper ion, nitrite ion and COD also significantly affected the distribution of phytoplankton.

description: When companies fail and withdraw their brands from the marketplace, consumers may retain positive affect and abiding loyalty to discontinued brands. This research, anchored in the extant brand relationship literature, introduces the concept of transference from psychiatry to explore the ways in which consumers' continuing relationships with a defunct brand impact the relational trajectories with competing and substitute brands in the marketplace. A unique study was conducted in New Zealand. The Georgie Pie brand was purchased and killed by McDonald's, leaving distraught consumers and room for a new competitor, Burger King, to enter the marketplace. The ways in which competitors replaced Georgie Pie differed by geographic region, and an analysis by region revealed that, under the right market conditions, transference of allegiance from the dead brand to competitor alternatives is possible, even toward the corporation deemed guilty for the failure of the beloved brand.

description: In this paper, the geographical distribution, community characteristics and DBH class structure of Picea neoveitchii Mast. population were investigated and analyzed by systematical and ecological approaches. In addition, the endangered mechanism and the protection measures were put forward by analyzing the Picea neoveitchii Mast. resource distribution in Hubei Province to provide effective scientific basis for further research. The results showed that Picea neoveitchii Mast. was found in Baokang, Enshi, Shennongjia and Zhuxi of Hubei Province, there were 9 distribution points and only a wild forest was found in Baokang. The community of Baokang County was not rich in species composition and 32 species, 29 genera and 21 families were examined. Meanwhile, temperate zone was the main flora element of this community, the phaenerophytes plant was most dominant and there were few hemicryptophytes and it lacked therophytes. In this community, Picea neoveitchii Mast. was in a dominant position, including lots of treelets, so the age structure of the population was growing.

description: We identify the quantum numbers of baryon exotics in the Quark Model, the Skyrme Model and QCD, and show that they agree for arbitrary colors and flavors. We define exoticness, E, which can be used to classify the states. The exotic baryons include the recently discovered qqqq qbar pentaquarks (E=1), as well as exotic baryons with additional q qbar pairs (E >=1). The mass formula for non-exotic and exotic baryons is given as an expansion in 1/N, and allows one to relate the moment of inertia of the Skyrme soliton to the mass of a constituent quark.

description: The layered perovskite PrBaCo2O5.5+x demonstrates a strong negative thermal expansion (NTE) which holds potential for being fabricated into composites with zero thermal expansion. The NTE was found to be intimately associated with the spontaneous magnetic ordering, known as magnetovolume effect (MVE). Here we report with compelling evidences that the continuous-like MVE in PrBaCo2O5.5+x is intrinsically of discontinuous character, originating from an magnetoelectric transition from an antiferromagnetic insulating large-volume (AFILV) phase to a ferromagnetic metallic small-volume (FMSV) phase. Furthermore, the magnetoelectric effect (ME) shows high sensitivity to multiple external stimuli such as temperature, carrier doping, hydrostatic pressure, magnetic field etc. In contrast to the well-known ME such as colossal magnetoresistance and multiferroic effect which involve symmetry breaking of crystal structure, the ME in the cobaltite is purely isostructural. Our discovery provides a new pathway to realizing the ME as well as the NTE, which may find applications in new techniques.

description: We investigated the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of Extended-Spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from four health-care institutions in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. ESBL-producing isolates were collected from February to August 2016. The prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli and K. pneumoniae was 11.9 and 8.7%, respectively. High dissemination of resistance to ciprofloxacin (88%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (72%) and aminoglycosides (59%) were detected, as well as susceptibility to meropenem, amikacin and tigecycline. The ESBL found variants were CTX-M-1 (88%) and CTX-M-9 (5%). The plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) gene aac(6´)-Ib-cr was identified in 62% of a representative sample, whereas the qnrB and qnrS genes were detected in 49% of the isolates. PFGE analyses detected many unrelated clones among the hospital or community isolates. A constant programme of epidemiological surveillance is recommended to understand the dynamics of bacterial resistance to both cephalosporin as well as the fluoroquinolone family of antibiotics.
When do public health epilogues correct the influence of alcohol story lines on youth? the interplay of narrative transportation and persuasion knowledge

description: Youth drinking is a major public health problem. Entertainment content that positively depicts alcohol consumption is often implicated as a factor shaping youths’ attitudes and beliefs about drinking alcohol. This research examines whether and under which conditions corrective epilogues can counteract the influence of a television episode featuring positive consequences of drinking. Building on recent research that demonstrates how consumers’ persuasion knowledge can increase acceptance of a message, this study finds that persuasion knowledge enhances receptivity to epilogues but only among viewers who are highly transported into the story. The research points to a promising approach to remedy the potentially harmful influence of a story line depicting undesirable behaviors on a vulnerable population.
Gamma-Ray Excess from the Galactic Center and Supergravity Models

description: We analyse the effect of the compression of the dark matter due to the infall of baryons to the galactic center on the gamma-ray flux. In addition, we also consider the effect of non-universal supersymmetric soft terms. This analysis shows that neutralino dark matter annihilation can give rise to signals largely reachable by future experiments like GLAST. This is a remarkable result if we realise that direct detection experiments will only be able to cover a small region of the parameter space. Actually, in this SUGRA framework we have also been able to fit present excess from EGRET and CANGAROO using different non-universal scenarios, and even fit the data from both experiments with only one scenario. We have also studied the recent HESS data implying a neutralino heavier than 12 TeV. Because of such a heavy neutralino, it is not natural to find solutions in the SUGRA framework. Nevertheless we have carried out a quite model-independent analysis, and found the conditions required on the particle physics side to fit the HESS data thanks to dark matter annihilation.
