Jacob Viner’s Reminiscences from the New Deal (February 11, 1953)
No full textThis paper presents and reproduces an unpublished oral history interview given by Jacob Viner in 1953. The interview released by Viner for the Columbia Oral History Project gives us a valuable opportunity to throw light on his advisory activity during the New Deal Era. In our introduction we attempt to make a critical appraisal of Viner's reminiscences and to state the contribution they can provide to our general knowledge of the period. In addition, we also attempt to find out some biographical and interpretative elements useful to understand Viner’s own vision and his contribution to important economic policy processes during the New Deal.
The Importance of Slave Narratives: The Analysis of Jacob D. Green's Life
No full textabstract: Jacob D. Green's slave narrative breaks standards surrounding slave narratives and wrote a strong, unique story that allowed his audience to relate to his human characters. His narrative has unprecedented qualities that make his autobiography distinctive. An attempt to locate him in historical documents proved inconclusive and some of his stories elaborated, but his narrative is still a valuable piece of literature that gives historians a glimpse into slavery in the United States and the abolition movement in England
Jacob of Sarug's Homilies on the six days of creation : the fifth day /
No full textRecognized as a saint by both Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Christians alike, Jacob of Sarug (d. 521) produced many narrative poems that have rarely been translated into English. Of his reported 760 metrical homilies, only about half survive. Part of a series of fascicles containing the bilingual Syriac-English editions of Saint Jacob of Sarug's homilies, this volume contains his homilies on the Six Days of Creation. The Syriac text is fully vocalized, and the translation is annotated with a commentary and biblical references. The volume is one of the fascicles of Gorgias Press's The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain all of Jacob's surviving sermons. In this fifth installment of the long Homily 71, On the Six Days of Creation, Jacob treats of the events of the fifth day, the creation from the waters of the various species of fish and reptiles, as well as the assorted types of birds and other winged creatures. God created them all in wisdom and in love, prepared everything that they would need and endowed them with the natural characteristics required for their particular type of life. Jacob highlights the fact that the creation of these animals on the fifth day to inhabit the land and water separated on the third day is a symbol of the Resurrection of Christ.Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Outline -- Summary -- Text and translation -- Moses, the author of the wondrous days of creation -- God creates various sorts of fish in the waters -- All creatures made to breathe in their proper environment -- The waters teemed with life on the third day of their existence -- God created birds with fully-formed wings to fly immediately -- Each species of bird began to sing with its own unique sound -- The skies were filled with these new birds flying around -- All birds found nourishment from the vegetation of the third day -- All creation luxuriated in one another and dwelt in perfect harmony.Recognized as a saint by both Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian Christians alike, Jacob of Sarug (d. 521) produced many narrative poems that have rarely been translated into English.

"Can you feel it?" emotional resonance across jazz and literature
No full textThis study explores the interpretive dissonance between two forms of Impressionist artistic expression in the twentieth century. Duke Ellington and Ernest Hemingway offer fruitful comparisons of the High Modernist short story and the short instrumental orchestral Jazz compositional forms respectively. The author offers a qualitative account of the direct threads of comparison between the forms, citing specific examples from each artist. Many questions arise that challenge fundamental aspects of critical convention. How are these conventions applied to an inter-disciplinary topic? What is fundamentally different about the process of appreciating music versus literature? How, when we consider each as performative texts, does the distortion of personal experience versus authorial intent confound authoritative claims about Impressionistic work? These comparisons draw direct parallels between the following examples: Ellington’s compositions, “Take the ‘A’ Train,” “The Star-Crossed Lovers,” and “Daybreak Express,” Hemingway’s short stories, “The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” “Big Two-Hearted River,” and “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.” This is a broad, exploratory search for loci of meaning that investigate the critical discourse in different interpretive communities.
The methodology focuses on detailed readings of music and literature with an eye for threads of connection between the two forms. Historical background and philosophical justifications help substantiate claims throughout. The focus, at times, compares component
elements of composition and asks whether they can be held responsible for emotional response. This close reading then contrasts with broader attempts to justify emotional response through general affective reactions.
The conclusions suggest that a closer look at the interplay between forms does impact the reading of each text individually. The experience of reading the texts side-by-side connects thematic trends that would otherwise remain hidden. These two artists are shown to be prime examples of both aesthetic complexity and interpretive flexibility. This project fills a gap in the critical discourse that justly compares two prominent artists of the twentieth century that are rarely discussed in the same sentence
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education in Bangladesh: Lessons Learned in SHARE Education Program
No full textThere is a growing body of evidence from the literature that mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) is the most optimal approach for young people who do not use national or international languages at home and/or local communities. In this monography, MTB-MLE is defined as classroom instruction that begins in children’s mother tongue and then gradually shifts toward national and/or international language(s) as the children advance through primary education. MTB-MLE focuses on helping children to gain a solid literacy foundation in their native language first, which enables them to better learn additional languages afterwards. MTB-MLE encourages the eventual transition to and use of national and/or international languages, but only after a solid literacy foundation is established in children’s native language. The author also outlines an Optimal MTB-MLE Framework, which identifies a combination of necessary elements that provide an enabling environment for sustained success. These elements include (1) a guiding policy framework coordinated by the government and adhered to by all pre-primary and primary education providers (public and private); (2) a strategic plan based upon the policy framework; (3) ensuring that schools are places of safety; (4) ensuring that language learning is stigma free; (5) strong advocacy at all levels from the government, media, and other stakeholders; and (6) sustained funding for quality teachers, curriculum materials, and adequate school infrastructure for the delivery of education. Once an enabling framework is established, there are four key areas that help ensure optimal MTB-MLE delivery: (1) widespread support from the government, families, local communities, and development partners; (2) qualified teachers; (3) MTB-MLE delivery efforts should be needs based and student centered; and (4) an outcomes-based curriculum. The final section analyzes MTB-MLE efforts in Bangladesh, with case study overviews of three SHARE Education Program MTB-MLE Projects, and because of its prominent influence in Bangladesh and its pioneering role in MTB-MLE, the education for indigenous children (EIC) initiatives of BRAC is also included in this analysis
Molecular Insights into Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity: Exploring NO:2-Butanol Collision Complexes as Model Systems
No full textChiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) describes a fundamental mechanism to control electron spin orientations in chiral environments. Characterizing theoretically-tractable benchmarks may lead to a molecular-scale interpretation of the underlying principles of CISS. Collision complexes between nitric oxide (NO) and 2-butanol were used as model systems to examine the possible effects of CISS in radical-molecule bimolecular collisions. Herein, IR action spectroscopy with 1+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) was used to record the IR spectrum of the NO:2-butanol complex. Furthermore, IR activation was combined with velocity map imaging (VMI) of NO products to reveal the dynamical outcomes following NO:2-butanol complex dissociation. In order to probe the population of NO spin-orbit states following IR activation of the collision complex, product state distributions were recorded to explore the plausible angular momentum pairing between the NO radical electron spin with the chiral 2-butanol partner. Experiments were performed on a racemic and enantiomerically pure (S enantiomer) sample of the NO:2-butanol complex. Differences between the two samples suggest that CISS effects may lead to the dynamical signatures observed between chiral enantiomers and NO quantum state configurations. We propose these preferences may be a result of two competing processes, wherein certain enantiomers of 2- butanol pair favorably or unfavorably with the radical electron spin of NO and the symmetry of its pi* molecular orbital.ChemistryBachelors of Science (BS
La lengua de la Didascalia de Jacob
No full textThe aim of this paper is to tackle Jacob’s Didascalia's syntax. This is not an exhaustive analysis of all syntactic facts that appear in it, just those that do not comply with actual classical Greek canon, and therefore allow us to infer that the author, in no biblical passages, uses a language very close to the one spoken in early 7th. century A.D.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo afrontar el estudio sintáctico de la lengua de la Didascalia de Jacob. No se trata de un análisis exhaustivo de todos los hechos sintácticos que en ella aparecen, sino casi exclusivamente de aquellos que no se atienen a los cánones vigentes en griego clásico y que nos permiten colegir que el autor, en los pasajes nobíblicos, se sirve de una lengua muy próxima a la hablada a principios del siglo VII d.

Reconsidering Arminius: Beyond the Reformed and Wesleyan Divide
No full textThe theology of Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius has been misinterpreted and caricatured in both Reformed and Wesleyan circles. By revisiting Arminius's theology, the book hopes to be a constructive voice in the discourse between so-called Calvinists and Arminians. Traditionally, Arminius has been treated as a divisive figure in evangelical theology. Indeed, one might be able to describe classic evangelical theology up into the twentieth century in relation to his work: one was either an Arminian and accepted his theology or one was a Calvinist and rejected his theology. Although various other movements within evangelicalism have provided additional contour to the movement (fundamentalism, Pentecostalism, etc.), the Calvinist-Arminian 'divide' remains a significant one. What this book seeks to correct is the misinterpretation of Arminius as one whose theology provides a stark contrast to the Reformed tradition as a whole. Indeed, this book will demonstrate instead that Arminius is far more in line with Reformed orthodoxy than popularly believed and show that what emerges as Arminianism in the theology of the Remonstrants and Wesleyan movements was in fact not the theology of Arminius but a development of and sometimes departure from it. This book also brings Arminius into conversation with modern theology. To this end, it includes essays on the relationship between Arminius's theology and open theism and Neo-Reformed theology. In this way, this book fulfills the promise of the title by showing ways in which Arminius's theology—once properly understood—can serve as a resource of evangelical Wesleyans and Calvinists doing theology together today.
