No full textNoticing and Attending to Relational Process: A Dialogical Analysis of MSW Student Competency Development in Relational Therapy
No full textWe explored Masters of Social Work (MSW) student discourses of learning experiences related to Noticing and Attending to Relational Process (NARP) in a course devoted to clinical practice with families and couples. Within two to three weeks after completing recorded peer role-play assignments and receiving audio-recorded feedback from the instructor, five randomly selected students participated in an unstructured interpersonal process recall (IPR) interview. The instructor/first author queried students about specific role-play moments and reactions to instructor-produced, audio-recorded feedback regarding NARP competencies. We used dialogical analysis to identify discourses and rhetorical features of interview data. Five primary themes emerged. Based on our Bahktinian interpretation of interview data with students, our findings also demonstrated multi-voiced discourses, indicating students’ internal struggle to make sense of NARP and respond to instructor feedback. Educators and practitioners can more intentionally attune themselves to these discourses, potentially opening avenues for stronger social work service provision
Knot types of Petaluma knots for 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 petals (dataset)
No full textA petal projection of an (oriented) knot K consists of n (oriented) horizontal line segments (strands), each occurring at a distinct height. Looking from above at a configuration, a petal projection resembles a flower: n petals passing through one central point, where all strands cross. We label these heights 1 to n, opposite of what their z-components suggest. As we traverse the petal projection starting with the top strand (height 1), the sequence given by these heights determines a permutation (1, h_2, h_3, . . .,h_n). Thus, there is a one-to-one correspondence between n-petal projections and the (n-1)! permutations on the n-1 elements {2, 3, . . . n}.
The files in this data set provide the mapping from the above-mentioned permutations to their corresponding knot types, when the knot type has crossing number not exceeding 16. In the cases where the HOMFLYPT polynomial can distinguish between the two chiralities of a chiral knot type, we also include the chirality of the knot type. For knot types with crossing number exceeding 16, we provide an estimate of the crossing number along with an encoded version of the HOMFLYPT polynomial. Note that if one disagrees with the way we set up the heights, one can simply mirror all of the knot types.
This zipped file contains multiple plain .txt files. See the README.txt for a description of the files, the data format of the files, and how the data was computed. Specifically, the data set contains the knot types of Petaluma knots for 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 petals.

Jesus
Get PDFChristians believe that Jesus is the incarnate God: he is the Logos (Word) of God who is not only equal to God (John 1:1-3) but also became flesh (John 1:14) and lived among us. Christians use the word “begotten” in the sense that the Word was eternally born of the father without beginning or end. He became incarnate to save us from sin and death by the power of the Spirit and the willingness (fiat) of Mary to be the Mother of God.

Humanity
Get PDFIn Islamic revelation Allah is central to all the reality of existence as independent, infinite, and transcendent Being. Humanity, on the other hand, is finite and dependant on God. Ontologically speaking, human beings by their very nature are dependent and limited in knowledge and power. They need God for their existence and survival. Although human kind is created by God and dependant on Him for their existence, they are created in the perfect form compared to the rest of creation.

Muhammad
Get PDFMuslims consider Prophet Muhammad as a model of piety and an icon of their faith whose exemplary conduct and teachings or sunnah constitute the blue print of human conduct that they try to emulate. He is the last in the chain of prophets totaling 124,000, according to Muslim tradition, all of whom preached the same universal message of obedience to God and compassion to His creation.

To Hell with Women Anyway : Flirtatiousness and Male Entitlement in The Sun Also Rises
No full textLady Brett Ashley in The Sun Also Rises has been heavily criticized for her treatment of the male characters in the novel. Her changeable affections and reluctance to commit to stable relationships have frequently been discussed in terms of the harm her behavior inflicts on men; however, little has been done to explore what it reveals about Brett herself. This article moves focus away from the wounded male egos to the social factors which underlie Brett\u27s flirtatious behavior, unpacking the trauma which informs her desire to avoid committed romantic relationships and question whether the male characters\u27 disappointed desires are always reasonable ones
