Religious Pluralism and Religious Imagination: Can a Pluralistic Theology Sustain Christian Faith?
Creators: name: Knitter, Paul
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Religion

description: Does a pluralist theology of religions spell the death of the religious imagination?' — That, I take it, is the question we are all wrestling with in this conference. Or, to phrase the issue in my own language: Is the essential role played by the imagination in the experience of faith jeopardized by a theology that sees Christianity as one among many other universal and valid religions? To lay out fully the content and concerns of the question would possibly require another paper in itself. I don't want to get bogged down, as theologians often do, in first honing definitions and sorting out distinctions. But some clarity on how we (or, at least I) understand the terms of our conversation is necessary.

description: Land managers need a better understanding of factors that contribute to climate change (CC) vulnerability of the natural resources they manage in order to formulate adaptation strategies. They also need more opportunities to collaborate with neighboring managers and stakeholders to develop common adaptation strategies. Analysis of natural communities shared across land ownerships provides one mechanism for this collaboration. NatureServe worked with public and private partners in the U.S. and Mexico to conduct CC vulnerability assessments of major upland and aquatic community types in the Mojave and Sonoran deserts. This project piloted a new Habitat Climate Change Vulnerability Index (HCCVI), drawing on data from other research efforts. The HCCVI aims to implement a series of measures addressing climate change exposure and ecological resilience for each community type for its distribution within a given ecoregion. The combined relative scores for exposure and resilience determine the categorical estimate of climate change vulnerability by the year 2060 (i.e., 50 years into the future) for a community type. While the overall index score should be useful for regional and national priority-setting and reporting, the results of these individual analyses also provide insight for local managers for climate change adaptation. In this pilot effort, field specialists were gathered in a workshop setting to refine the assessments, clarify their thinking on CC scenarios and stressors, and document potential strategies along a continuum from immediate 'no regrets' actions to 'anticipated' or 'wait and watch' actions to monitor. By focusing on major natural community types, pragmatic strategies were identified.

description: We have developed an electrostatic, double-focusing 90° deflector for fast ion beams consisting of concentric cylindrical plates of differing heights. In contrast to standard cylindrical deflectors, our design allows for focusing of an incoming parallel beam not only in the plane of deflection but also in the orthogonal direction. The optical properties of our design resemble those of a spherical capacitor deflector while it is much easier and more cost effective to manufacture.

description: Stakeholders are concerned that accounting graduates cannot consistently demonstrate critical thinking (CT) skills. Assessments such as unstructured questions have been used successfully in both face-to-face and online senior courses in an effort to enhance CT skill development, but little is known about the impact of such interventions in online junior courses. This study invited students enrolled in an asynchronous, continuous-enrollment, online offering of an introductory accounting course to participate in a control and experimental group. An intervention aimed at enhancing a student's CT skill development was introduced to students in the experimental group. The intervention engaged students in a web-based, active learning method that required them to respond to unstructured questions to which peers provided and assessed reciprocal feedback. Although peer assessments were not included as part of a student's course grade, students received a maximum of 5% based on their rate of participation with the intervention. Two sources of data were collected: 1) survey responses from the experimental group regarding students' experience with the intervention, and 2) differences in the midterm and final exam results between the control and experimental groups. An analysis of the survey data collected from the experimental participants indicated that their perception regarding the impact of the intervention on their learning was generally favourable despite concerns raised about the reciprocal feedback process. However, the validity of the respondents' feedback was put into question because of the significant non-response rate. Based on an analysis of the midterm and final exam grades, the null hypothesis that no statistically significant difference existed between the midterm and final examination results of the control and experimental groups was accepted. This conclusion does not mean, however, that CT cannot be measured, nor does it mean that the intervention did not enhance CT skill development. It is more likely that the results from this study mean that grades were not a sufficient indicator of CT. This interpretation raises the question of what, then, would be an effective measure of CT? The results demonstrate that continued research is required to determine what strategy(s) might be effective in measuring CT.

Christianity and the religions: a zero-sum game? reclaiming "the path not taken" and the legacy of Krister Stendahl
Creators: name: Knitter, Paul
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Religion

description: Robert Wright, in his recent book, The Evolution of God, posed a sobering challenge for all religions: In our economically and geopolitically globalized world, religions, together with nations, are being challenged to move from a "zero-sum" (win-lose) to a "non-zero-sum" (win-win) relationship. For Christians, that means that they must lay aside past claims to be the one religion meant to replace or fulfill all others. To lay out his case that Christians are able to take up-Wright's challenge, the author draws from the legacy of Krister Stendahl (d. 2008), New Testament scholar, former dean of Harvard Divinity School, and Lutheran bishop of Stockholm. This essay unfolds in three steps: (1) a summary of Wright's challenge to all religions; (2) Stendahl's refocusing of that challenge as an opportunity to take a path that Christian churches could have taken but did not In the first century of their existence-the path beyond supersessionism; and (3) an unpacking of the ecclesiological, missiological, and christological components of Stendahl's path toward a non-zero-sum (or a nonsupersesslonist) theology of religions.

description: We review the exact treatment of the pairing correlation functions in the canonical ensemble. The key for the calculations has been provided by relating the discrete BCS model to known integrable theories corresponding to the so called Gaudin magnets with suitable boundary terms. In the present case the correlation functions can be accessed beyond the formal level, allowing the description of the cross-over from few electrons to the thermodynamic limit. In particular, we summarize the results on the finite size scaling behavior of the canonical pairing clarifying some puzzles emerged in the past. Some recent developments and applications are outlined.

description: Mental health courts (MHCs) are emerging as a critical element in the nationwide effort to counter overcrowding in the US prison system and more adequately address the plight of offenders who are diagnosed with a mental illness. The goals of MHCs, an example of problem-solving courts, are to improve the quality of life for those involved in the criminal justice system, link clients to community treatment resources, and reduce recidivism and crime rates in a more cost-effective manner than within the traditional criminal justice process. This article provides a brief history of MHCs, including the rationale behind their initial implementation, an overview of their clientele and process, a review of the role social workers play, arguments for and against their broader introduction, and specific research recommendations to better ascertain their current and future effectiveness. Although MHCs are still too nascent to draw broad conclusions about their rates of efficacy, early results are promising.

Jesus-Buddha-Krishna: still present?
Creators: name: Knitter, Paul
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1979
Subjects: Religion

description: The intent of this article is to elaborate a more adequate understanding of the presence of Christ in Word and Sacrament, which will then make possible a more productive dialogue with Hinduism and Buddhism. Foundational to this investigation is contemporary theology's understanding of symbol-myth. First it is shown how, on the basis of what is being said about myth and symbol, the real presence of Christ in the Christian community can be understood meaningfully and coherently as a mythic-symbolic presence. This refocuses the problem of the relation between the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith. It means that Christianity must move beyond "historicism"-the attitude that equates the real with the factual. More precisely, it implies that the experience of salvation is not mediated through historical events in themselves but insofar as they are "mythified": symbols save; historical events (as events) do not Christianity therefore can be said to be based on "mythistory," not just history. Various objections to this apparent mythification of Christianity are considered; the abiding importance of the historical Jesus is maintained. Such an esteem for the mythic Christ requires Christians to modify their claim that Christianity's uniqueness is based on its historicity. More precisely, Christians are called upon to recognize the real and salvific presence of the mythic Buddha and the mythic Krishna (and other Avatars) to their followers. Particular significance is given to the process in which Gautama--not unlike Jesus--was glorified and mythified after death.

description: Land managers make decisions under great uncertainty, subject to climate variability, extreme events, and underlying climate change. Two cases are briefly described: A northern Great Plains wheat farmer expects value in switching from spring wheat to winter wheat because it pays more and offers better game bird habitat, but the switch depends on reduced chances of winter kill as the climate slowly warms. When does it pay to make the switch? Second, a rancher has to decide during the first year of drought whether to cull the herd or hold on, hoping that next year is better, a decision that involves contingent market conditions, feed prices, and effects on forage quality for the cattle and wildlife. The farmer faces a classic expected utility problem, with the added challenge that average conditions are not a good guide to the cost/loss prospects. The rangeland drought is a game theory problem because the rancher must consider not just the probability of drought next year, but also the actions of other ranchers this year, which affect both prices now and the potential costs of feed in the future. What information and decision support tools would help these land managers make choices under climate uncertainty?

description: Abstract
The leaves and branches of two plants species Citrullus colocynthis and Salvadora oleoides were obtained to acquire powder. The mixed powder was applied individually at 5g and 10g concentration against Rhyzopertha dominica and Trogoderma granarium. Studies were carried out from August-2021 to March-2022 under controlled laboratory conditions. The observations were made on the concern parameters such as, Mortality rate, Weight loss and Supplement damage of the grain. Results revealed that non-significantly maximum mortality of both pests were recorded 57.0% and 58.0% at 10g dosage of C. colocynthis powder in the month of December-2021. While the minimum mortality 1.0% and 2.0% was observed at 5g dosage of S. oleoides plant powder during August -2021. Maximum weight loss and Insect damage to grain were found on 5g of S. oleoides powder 17.0%, 31.3% and 15.0%, 29.2% to R. dominica and                  T. granarium. On the contrary low weight loss and insect damage 7.1%, 22.1% and 9.1%, 24.3% were recorded at 5g powder dosage of C. colocynthis. Present findings would be helpful for the effectiveness of these tested plants as grain protectants versus stored grain pests especially in the advancement of pest management strategies.

Theocentric Christology : Defended and Transcended

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1987
Subjects: Religion

description: Having read and pondered S. Mark Heim's critical analysis of No Other Name?, together with the commentaries on his analysis, I am grateful and honored, as well as sobered and challenged. "Thanks, I needed that," best captures my overall feeling. I wrote the book in order to raise some roadsigns for exploring what I consider a pressing problem for Christians; and, though Heim and others think my roadsigns are pointing in the wrong direction, they certainly have carried on the exploration. Even if they have not converted me from my erroneous ways, they have enabled me, with their revealing criticisms and no-way-out questions, to clarify and redirect the way I want to go. Mainly, they have helped me recognize that the best way to defend a theocentric model for Christology and interreligious dialogue may be to transcend it. A pluralist theology of religions is still very much in the making. While I cannot respond to all the issues, both critical and supportive, that were raised in this collection, I can cover most of the principal concerns by examining what appear to be the two main roadblocks that these critics have erected to a theocentric approach. They are telling me that such an approach "does not work" and that it "is not Christian." In the terminology of Schubert Ogden and revisionist theologians, my model falters on criteria of adequacy to human experience and of appropriateness to Christian tradition. Diehard revisionist that I am, I have to take such criticisms seriously.
Canadian university nursing dean leadership

description: Bibliography: p. 275-309
description: This research used an interpretivist exploratory case study design to examine how thirty nursing deans, directors or chairs (nursing deans) from 28 English language Canadian universities led institutional operations, set future direction and facilitated organizational decision-making. Leadership in universities has been described as a hybrid mix of traditional and entrepreneurial approaches (Collinson & Collinson, 2009). The administrator as conservator (Terry, 2003) and entrepreneurial public servant (Rowley, Lujan & Dolence, 1997) leadership models, which together form a leadership continuum, served as the foundation for describing, analyzing and interpreting this study' s findings. The nursing deans were found to use forty-nine leadership practices, thirty-seven (76%) of which reflected entrepreneurial public servant leadership. This signifies that these nursing deans used a blended leadership approach with entrepreneurial public servant practices being dominant. Personal values, globalization, university systems, structures and priorities, internal relationships, academic networks and mentors influenced the nursing deans ' entrepreneurial public servant leadership practices. The researcher also examined the amount of time that these nursing deans spent completing tasks in eight role function areas associated with the deanship position (Salewski, 2002). Approximately seventeen hours (30%) and eight hours (14%) of their 62 hour work week were spent completing tasks in the human resources/personnel and professional leadership/research role function areas respectively. This first national study of the Canadian university nursing deanship substantiated the shortage of nursing deans in Canada. At the time they were interviewed, 30 per cent of the nursing deans were holding acting or interim appointments. The turnover of nursing deans approximated 30 per cent between 2007 and 2009 and increased to 60 per cent by 2011. Senior university leaders can use the findings of this study as one foundation for reshaping the nursing deanship so that it becomes a more viable career option. The research also fulfills long-standing scholarly recommendations to study how university deans lead faculties (de Boer & Goedegebuure, 2009 ; Boyett, 1996) and offers a glimpse into the Canadian university deanship, which is understudied (Boyco & Jones, 2010).

A comparative study of mathematics educational research in China and English-speaking countries as represented in journals
Creators: name: Wang, Bingjie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This is a comparative study of four academic journals in mathematics education: one key journal from China, Journal of Mathematics Education (JME), and the other three English-language international journals Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM), Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME) and For the Learning of Mathematics (FLM). The researcher compared a sample consisting of three consecutive issues of the four journals over a time period within the year 2009. All articles were read in their original language of publication (Chinese or English). Additionally, members of the editorial boards of the journals were interviewed. This study consists of three parts: 1) Content analysis (Krippendorff, 1980; Stemler, 2001) of the articles from the sample. 2)Qualitative analysis of interviews (Kavle, 1996; McNamara, 1999) with members of the editorial boards of the four journals. 3)Textual analysis (Mckee, 2003; Truex, 1996) of the four journals These three parts were considered together to build an ‘intellectual map’ (Jobert, 1996) for cross-cultural comparison. Using these three perspectives, the researcher was able to offer a more comprehensive view of the cultural and individual differences than a single perspective would give. The purposes of this study were: To help Chinese mathematics education researchers understand the requirements and expectations of English-language international journals so that they can begin to publish in these journals more widely. To encourage Chinese and Western researchers to read about one another’s research and promote the exchange of ideas. Results indicate that authors for Chinese journal come from more varied professional backgrounds than those writing for the English-language journals. Many articles in Chinese journal do not use any clearly-stated research methodology, in contrast to most articles in the Western journals. No significant differences are found in the topics in published articles. However, the three English-language journals are different from one other in terms of author characteristics, topic types and methodologies. All of these differences relate to the different cultural backgrounds in which the journals were embedded. The conclusions include discussions about academic cultural differences and implications for future studies. This study provides a new dimension in cross-cultural comparative investigation.

description: We analyze the photometric and spectroscopic variability of the classical T Tauri star V2129 Oph over several rotational cycles to test the dynamical predictions of magnetospheric accretion models. The photometric variability and the radial velocity variations in the photospheric lines can be explained by rotational modulation due to cold spots, while the radial velocity variations of the He I (5876 Å) line and the veiling variability are due to hot spot rotational modulation. The hot and cold spots are located at high latitudes and about the same phase, but the hot spot is expected to sit at the chromospheric level, while the cold spot is at the photospheric level. Using the dipole+octupole magnetic-field configuration previously proposed in the literature for the system, we compute 3D MHD magnetospheric simulations of the star-disk system. We use the simulation's density, velocity and scaled temperature structures as input to a radiative transfer code, from which we calculate theoretical line profiles at all rotational phases. The theoretical profiles tend to be narrower than the observed ones, but the qualitative behavior and the observed rotational modulation of the Hαand Hβemission lines are well reproduced by the theoretical profiles. The spectroscopic and photometric variability observed in V2129 Oph support the general predictions of complex magnetospheric accretion models with non-axisymmetric, multipolar fields.

Evaluation of low temperature adaptation for nitratation process: a review of production and attenuation of nitrite in an alluvial aquifer

description: Data obtained from the network of monitoring wells in the ammonium contaminated alluvial aquifer (Calgary, AB) was examined to describe the production and attenuation of nitrite during nitrification process. Since little is known about the nitrifiers' response to low temperatures in natural environments, the probable persistence of toxic nitrite is a concern to the health of the adjacent river (i.e., Bow River). It was suggested that low groundwater temperatures could cause a differential restraining effect between the performances of the two main groups of nitrifier bacteria; therefore, partial nitrification followed by persistence of nitrite will possibly occur. Although nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) showed a minor lag in utilizing the produced nitrite with respect to ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB), the results indicated that nitrite levels did not exceeded 0.4 mg/L during groundwater nitrification. Accordingly, the rate of nitrifiers' activity at low temperatures showed to be similar and concurrent, and as a result partial nitrification was not the trend. Nevertheless, assessment of correlations revealed that temporal variation of low nitrite levels was primarily regulated by the transient oxygen levels, and nitrite attenuation was primarily controlled by nitratation. Collectively, this investigation concluded that the spatial and temporal distribution of nitrite was heterogeneous as the occurrence of nitrification was local and intermittent. In this respect, it was apparent that even under low temperatures with transient dissolved oxygen levels, which the latter is considered as an additional stress, both AOB and NOB can accordingly develop an effective syntrophy by their coupled physiological adaptability.

description: This study is an investigation of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain that is framed by place studies. The thesis proposes that pilgrims en route to Santiago encounter, and also cultivate, meaning-making that is socially and materially constructed and influenced by pilgrimage traditions, landscapes, a vast array of architectures, en route pilgrimage-support communities, as well as artistic and religious material cultures. The overall consequence is the formation of a unique pilgrimage identity that I name the Camino identity. The concept of a Camino identity draws on self-categorization theory-that proposes there is a cognitive process in social settings where comparisons are typically invited, encouraged and cultivated, especially between an 'in-group' (such as Camino pilgrims) and an 'out-group' (non-pilgrims). The process involves a shift of self­perception whereby individuals seek to be exemplars of their group and its ideals. The thesis argues that daily engagement with fellow Camino pilgrims, the physicality of participating in the pilgrimage, the influences of Camino traditions and the ever-changing placeness of pilgrims invite a high level of behaviour and commitment to a Camino idealism. The Camino identity is of major significance for place-making and meaning­making during the pilgrimage to Santiago. The Camino becomes a vehicle for personal transformation of the pilgrims as they discover a new hope and purpose in life through friendship and a sense of common humanity that is place-based and place-influenced. The thesis employs three strategies of investigation: i) historical and contemporary accounts of pilgrimage to Santiago as well as theoretical insights drawn from place studies, ii) participating in the Camino pilgrimage twice as well as the use of diaries of pilgrims, and iii) creating and exhibiting sculptures that mediate an understanding of the Camino experience.

description: Abstract
This research aimed to analyze the development of Triathlon sports tourism in attracting people to travel and exercise on Kurenai Beach. This research method used an experimental design. This research was to develop a product or model to develop Triathlon sports tourism. The subjects were the people who visited Kurenai Beach. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used the Paired sample t-test and the N-Gain test. The results showed that the triathlon sport development model in this study was called Triathlon sports tourism Selera sport. The results of the hypothesis test showed that statistically the sig value obtained from the paired test was 0.000. This value was less than 0.05 so that means the hypothesis was accepted. There was a significant difference in the average score before and after treatment, so it meant that the Triathlon sports tourism Selera sport model could increase people's interest in traveling. The tourism development model to increase the interest in traveling for the people of Kurenai Beach was the Triathlon sports tourism Selera sport model. This development model was effective in increasing tourism interest so that it could increase the income of tourism managers and local governments.
Radiative signature of magnetic fields in internal shocks

description: Common models of blazars and gamma-ray bursts assume that the plasma underlying the ob- served phenomenology is magnetized to some extent. Within this context, radiative signatures of dissipation of kinetic and conversion of magnetic energy in internal shocks of relativistic magnetized outflows are studied. We model internal shocks as being caused by collisions of homogeneous plasma shells. We compute the flow state after the shell interaction by solving Riemann problems at the contact surface between the colliding shells, and then compute the emission from the resulting shocks. Under the assumption of a constant flow luminosity we find that there is a clear difference between the models where both shells are weakly magne- tized (σ\sim0.01. We obtain that the radiative efficiency is largest for models in which, regardless of the ordering, one shell is weakly and the other strongly magnetized. Substantial differences between weakly and strongly magne- tized shell collisions are observed in the inverse-Compton part of the spectrum, as well as in the optical, X-ray and 1GeV light curves. We propose a way to distinguish observationally between weakly magnetized from magnetized internal shocks by comparing the maximum frequency of the inverse-Compton and synchrotron part of the spectrum to the ratio of the inverse-Compton and synchrotron fluence. Finally, our results suggest that LBL blazars may correspond to barely magnetized flows, while HBL blazars could correspond to moderately magnetized ones. Indeed, by comparing with actual blazar observations we conclude that the magnetization of typical blazars is σ

description: Increased energy development such as oil, gas, solar, wind and geothermal are threatening public-lands hunting and fishing opportunities across the country. In the past 15 years, more than 40 million acres of the West have been leased for development. Recently, demands for renewable energy production have drastically compounded the issue by creating a "land rush" on areas available for development. Unfortunately, many locations pressured for energy development also hold some of the nation's best hunting for mule deer, elk, pronghorn and sage grouse, in addition to blue-ribbon fishing for trout. Hastily developed energy projects can dramatically affect fish and game populations, as seen in the Atlantic Rim region of Wyoming. The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP) supports responsible energy development and has worked to ensure development proceeds in a way that sustains and conserves fish and wildlife populations and sustainable opportunities for hunting and fishing for future generations. The TRCP and our conservation partners are actively engaged in policy debates, seeking solutions for domestic energy development by participating in all levels of policy development. Here, we present policy and management solutions to balance energy development with fish and wildlife. Notably, we highlight the need for better pre-development planning and landscape-scale approaches to mitigation. By working both the local and national levels, sportsmen are able to ensure fish and wildlife are adequately managed during energy development.

description: Seep is a novel about the relationships between place, identity, and narrative. The central narrative follows Dwight Eliot as he assembles an archive of information about the day of his birth. He was born on a baseball diamond in 1959, during a riot between his hometown team and a team of barnstorming Cubans. That story is a kind of legend about his origin. The town of his birth, the Seep of the title, is being dismantled, and redeveloped as a recreational destination. Because he feels a strong attachment to the narratives of identity that are attached to the townsite, he becomes involved with those who are resisting the redevelopment. He struggles to make sense of his relationship with his drug-addicted older brother, and with his own gambling addiction. As he pursues the accumulation of his archive, and his participation in resistance, he must come to terms with family relationships, and those of the communities he inhabits. The narrative ranges through time to reveal the truths behind the deep dysfunction of his family, his inability to maintain relationships, and the history of his town. The threads of the novel converge at a protest picnic at the demolished townsite. Seep presents itself as a story within a story. Throughout the novel are excerpts of a letter from Dwight's mother that uncovers information about the town and his family that disrupts the self-defining narrative Dwight collects in his archive. The novel is framed by commentary from Amy, who reveals how she has discovered Dwight's narrative, and who questions its accuracy, even as she affirms its truthiness. These polyvocal elements operate to enact the constructedness of the processes by which we represent ourselves, and how representation through narrative accommodates (and complicates) the sometimes ineffable pluralities of placed experience, memory, and narration itself. The Afterword, "Placing Changes: Creating a Fictional Historiography of Place," presents a critical exegesis of Seep. This essay frames the process of the creation of the novel within a critical discussion of place, the archive, and fiction.
