Rooting the Palestinian Shatat in Jordan: Art, Objects, and the Matter of Belonging
No full textThis article presents the concept of dispersed rooting in order to understand the significance of Palestinian visual and material productions in Jordan. The authors argue that the production of art and traditional clothing, as well as the consumption of souvenirs, constitutes rooting practices that connect exiled Palestinians to the broader Palestinian people and homeland within the shifting and negotiated limits of protracted displacement in Jordan. By considering the role of art and objects in the rooting of Palestinians, this article elucidates the importance of visual and material culture for the meaning of identity and belonging among a dispersed population of exiled Palestinian refugees. Specifically, it demonstrates how producing Palestinian art and tradition is deeply implicated in the reproduction of the Palestinian self and community. As the analysis indicates, Palestinians produce visual and material culture to root themselves in a world where Palestine persists, and where their belonging to it and its people remains inviolable
The website schema
No full textThe website schema is conceptualized as the consumer's set of beliefs about information locations, and routes to those locations, on a website. A meta-analysis of three studies, one of them with a student sample and two with consumer samples, provides evidence that congruence between a consumer's website schema and the actual structure of a particular site is associated with the site being rated easier to navigate, a more favorable attitude toward brands advertised on the site, and higher quality brand decisions. These studies provide evidence of the importance of the website schema for understanding consumer response to websites
Wildfire smoke demonstrates significant and predictable black carbon light absorption enhancements

Dubey, "Wildfire smoke demonstrates significant and predictable black carbon light absorption enhancements" (in prep). Corresponding Author: James E. Lee ([email protected])Abstract:Black carbon (BC) is estimated to have the second largest anthropogenic radiative forcing in earth-systems models, but there is significant uncertainty in its impact due to complex mixing with organics. Laboratory-generated particles, uniform in BC size and quantity of coating material, show that co-mixed non-absorbing material enhances absorption by BC by a factor of 2-3.5. However, weak or no enhancements are often reported for field studies which implies a lower radiative impact of BC compared to how many models currently treat aerosols. To investigate real-world effects of BC-coatings, we analyzed twenty-four ambient wildfire smoke plumes that varied in geographic origin, fuel types, burn conditions, atmospheric age and transport. We conducted particle-by-particle analysis of BC mass and coating-thickness, capturing BC and BC-coating heterogeneity and allowing for unique determination of the population-integrated BC absorption. This data-driven approach successfully predicted the observed BC-absorption and absorption enhancements to better than 15% accuracy for smoke plumes transported through the lower troposphere, which stay relatively warm, and in the particle growth phase. We show that independent of fire conditions, fuels, and atmospherically-driven reactions (e.g., oxidation, photochemistry), fire emitted aerosol is well represented as spherical BC cores with concentric coatings. In contrast, estimates of BC absorption using bulk coating properties overestimated absorption by 20-50% due to assumptions of particle uniformity. Although particle-by-particle analysis is computationally prohibitive in some applications, we show that absorption enhancements in these plumes can be reliably estimated by the coating-to-BC volume ratio providing a suitable parameterization to implement in models.<Last Update 20220312>v0: Submitted for publication purposesTHIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

God's shining forth : a trinitarian theology of divine light
No full textThis thesis seeks an orderly set of theological reflections on the declaration that “God is light” (1 Jn. 1:5). Such talk of divine light, this study argues, must begin with the doctrine of God, namely, with God’s light in se and his “shining forth” ad extra towards creatures in the darkness of sin and death. This work therefore follows a precise pathway in expounding this theme. Chapter 1 offers a brief survey of the historical and scriptural uses of the concept of light in order to fix its linguistic and conceptual boundaries. Chapter 2 seeks to reflect upon God’s light as the light of his own radiant triune identity, as well as offering a preliminary examination of God’s economic, covenantal shining forth to creatures. Chapter 3 gives a much more detailed rehearsal of this act of shining forth by an account of God’s light as manifest in the economy of his works with which he lovingly elects, reconciles, and illuminates creatures. Chapter 4 proposes that with the treatment of God’s shining forth there belongs a treatment of the light of the church called out of darkness, gathered into the “marvelous light” of God, and set to proclaiming the “excellencies” of God. Chapter 5 concludes this study by examining what bearing the reality of God’s shining forth as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit might have on the work and call of theology as an activity of the “illumined mind.
The Pocahontas narratives in the era of the romantic representations of the native americans and their influence on the construction of an american national identity
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura CorrespondenteThis dissertation analyses five literary texts about Pocahontas and some of the visual representations about the Native American girl, which were produced during American Romanticism comparing / contrasting these texts with the founding narratives of James Fenimore Cooper, The Last of the Mohicans and The Pioneers, as well as with two other novels of the same period, Catherine Maria Sedgwick's Hope Leslie and Lydia Maria Child's Hobomok. The objective of this research is to show that the Romantic narratives on Pocahontas are important for the definition of an American national identity through the discussion of themes like miscegenation, liminal figures and the captivity narratives inserted in these texts. In order to make such analysis, this dissertation begins with a discussion of the historical aspects concerning the story of Pocahontas, then a survey about the theoretical background, dealing with the theories on nation and national identity of Ernest Renan, Benedict Anderson and Homi Bhabha. The theoretical chapter is followed by a comparative / contrastive analysis of the texts, including the visual representations, which concludes with the idea that Cooper's narratives portray a traditional view of the American nation, while the Pocahontas textual and visual narratives give a different view of it. This analysis also led this dissertation to conclude that the story of Pocahontas has had a great influence on the construction of a national identity in the beginning of the nineteenth century, the moment when the American nation was establishing itself as a new one. The Pocahontas narratives do not deal with nation and national identity in the same way the other narratives do, but they ar
