Difference and belonging, hopes and fears: parenting ‘mixed’ children and the implications for career development
No full textRosalind Edwards, Professor in Social Policy and Director of the Families & Social Capital Research Group, at London
South Bank University, discusses parenting issues and their implications for career development at the CeGS 10th
Annual Lecture held at the University of Derby on 18th December 2007.
Rosalind has researched and published widely on a range of issues concerning family policy, with a focus on the
perspectives of family members themselves. Her recent book publications include: Assessing Social Capital (ed. with J.
Holland and J. Franklin, 2007, Cambridge Scholars Press); Sibling Identity and Relationships: Sisters and Brothers (with L. Hadfield, H. Lucey and M. Mauthner, 2006, Routledge); Making Families: Moral Tales of Parenting and Stepparenting (with J. Ribbens McCarthy and V. Gillies, 2003, Sociology Press) and Children, Home and School: Resistance, Autonomy or Connection? (ed., 2002, Routledge Falmer). Rosalind's report (with C. Caballero and S.Puthussery) on 'Parenting 'mixed' children: negotiating difference and belonging in mixed race, ethnicity and faith families' will be published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation later this year. Rosalind is also co-editor of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology

'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth
No full textThe extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of
Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of
Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is
made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres
on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his
theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints
with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ.
Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son
within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person'
in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this
psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the
Cappadocian Fathers and Barth.
In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the
concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in
fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption.
Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective
sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is
contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God
with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative
approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards.
Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with
humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in
light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the
humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A
more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit-
honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the
glory of God is his ontic doxological concern

Resilience of NJ Transit assets to climate impacts
No full textFirst Environment developed this report under the guidance of New Jersey Transit to determine the potential risks of weather related events and impacts on its stationary assets. This research includes a survey of current reports and research on the topic; identifies and maps specific impacts to New Jersey Transit assets - commuter rail, light rail and bus; compiles national and international agency efforts underway regarding Transit strategies to protect assets; determines appropriate resilience strategies for the impacts identified; provides a summary level costs and benefits for each of the resilience strategies identified; and summarizes and highlights cost effective strategies to maintain NJ TRANSIT current and planned future services. This report provides a regional overview and can be used to identify critical impacts on assets and take appropriate measures to reduce its vulnerability to extreme weather
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Molecular cloning and functional analyses of glutathione peroxidase homologous genes from Chlorella sp NJ-18
No full textPhotosynthetic organisms often encounter oxidative stresses due to changes of environmental conditions. In this study, two glutathione peroxidase (GPX) homologous genes, namely NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2, were identified in Chlorella sp. NJ-18, a single-celled green alga. The two NJ-18Gpx genes can produce 2 or 3 transcript variants by alternative splicing, predicted to encode 4 non-selenium GPX proteins (NS-GPX). Expression of the two genes was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR in Chlorella sp. NJ-18 exposed to various treatments known to generate reactive oxygen species. Neutral red, a singlet oxygen-generating photosensitizer, significantly increased the expression of NJ-18Gpx1 within 5 h. Exposure of algal culture to UV-B for 3 h caused up-regulation of mRNA levels of NJ-18Gpx1 and NJ-18Gpx2 by 4- and 50-folds, respectively. Similar to CrGPX5 and CrGPX3 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, purified recombinant NJ-18GPXs showed activities of thioredoxin-dependent peroxidases that catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. The V-max values for NJ-18GPX1 toward different peroxides were approximately 10-fold higher than those for NJ-18GPX2. In addition, overexpression of NJ-18Gpx1 in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, a cyanobacterium, enhanced its tolerance to neutral red and H2O2. These results indicate that NJ-18GPXs can act as efficient peroxide scavengers protecting cells from oxidative damages in Chlorella. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
