No full textTwo compatible constructs in current historical Jesus research, Part I: John Dominic Crossan. Current historical Jesus research produces a variety of profiles of Jesus. In a series of articles two compatible constracts of Jesus (those of John Dominic Crossan and Andries van Aarde) will first be discussed and, second, two ireconcilible constructs (those of Robert F Funk and Walter Schmithals). The profiles of Jesus are depicted from the perspective of the researcher's view on the continuity and discontinuity between Jesus and early Christianity and the relevance of historical Jesus research for church and theology. This article focuses on John Dominic Crossan's view on Jesus the peasant
Technological learning: towards an integrated model
No full textThe acquisition and growth of technological knowledge is fundamental to competitive advantage in the emerging knowledge economy. This article explores the notion of technological learning as a means of developing the capabilities that underpin long term sustainable innovation. The research project was designed to identify new ways of understanding learning in the context of technology-driven SMEs, so the methods employed were essentially inductive in nature. This has resulted in the development of a comprehensive framework comprising four inter-related knowledge categories (Identity, Direction, Capability, and Relationship), each of which has an associated learning process (learning by reflecting, learning by strategising, learning by doing, and learning by interacting). We argue that it is the interaction between these knowledge categories that generates the new insights that are essential to technological learning
Crossan and the resurrection of Jesus : rethinking presuppositions, methods and models
No full textThesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2015.When historical Jesus’ scholar, John Dominic Crossan, stated that Jesus’
resurrection appearances were apparitions and not physical appearances, was it
possible to test this conclusion? To what degree are a scholar’s conclusions affected
by his presuppositions?
Crossan’s definition of history was that it ‘is the past reconstructed interactively
by the present through argued evidence in public discourse’ (Crossan 1999:3). The
outworking of this view was that the New Testament Gospels are regarded as megaparables,
fictitious creations. His application of this view was, ‘Emmaus never
happened. Emmaus always happens’ (Crossan 2012:5). A pattern emerged in which
Crossan stated that he was using a method of postmodern interactivism (Crossan
1998a:42). But how is this discerned and articulated with as objective a methodology
as possible?
What do presuppositions of postmodern, reconstructive, interactivism do to
Crossan’s conclusions regarding Jesus’ resurrection appearances? Here the
parameters were restricted to literary and historical dimensions of Crossan’s speech
acts.
The problem investigated was to seek to identify Crossan’s presuppositions
and methods in his study of the resurrection of Jesus to determine if they were valid
or not when the Gospel evidence on the resurrection was considered. A
presupposition-hypothesis method was used to test for verification or falsification,
using a critical realist epistemology.
A research gap indicated a need for a more objective model to isolate a
researcher’s presuppositions of Jesus’ resurrection. The Beaver and Geurts
framework (2011) was chosen that led to probability and not certainty about the
content of presuppositions. Presuppositional ‘triggers’ were identified from Crossan’s
resurrection data.
The hypothesis tested was: J D Crossan's presuppositions and methods, in his study
of the resurrection of Jesus, are not valid when the Gospel evidence on the
resurrection is taken into consideration.
Twenty-three presuppositions were discovered and these were developed into
18 hypotheses, three of which were tested:
Hypothesis 9: The divine manifestation of Christianity for a postmodern world is
deconstruction (his term is reconstruction) and it is not done once for all, but is
reinterpreted for each generation’s issues. It was found that reconstruction mutilates
the voice of the author by imposing an a priori metaphorical dogmatism on the text.
Crossan’s postmodern, reconstructive, interactive hermeneutic was shipwrecked on
the ‘rocks’ of contradiction, inconsistency and a self-defeating methodology.
Hypothesis 10: The New Testament resurrection narratives are not historical
documents. Crossan defined history as a postmodern reconstructionist and reached
postmodern, reconstructive conclusions, thus using a question begging logical
fallacy. He also did not apply this methodology consistently.
Hypothesis 12: It does not matter what a person believes about whether Jesus’
tomb was empty or not; the importance is its meaning, which is independent of
factuality. Crossan imposed his own understanding of the meaning of Jesus’
resurrection through his use of free play, relativistic, multivalent, postmodern, nonsupernatural
stratagem on the text. Thus, Crossan’s idiosyncratic meanings replaced
objective, hermeneutical testing of the text of Scripture.
Therefore this dissertation’s hypothesis was verified.tm2015New Testament StudiesPhDUnrestricte
Management of the Author Král Šumavy MTB Race
No full textNázev: Management závodu Author Král Šumavy MTB Cíl: Prezentace silných a slabých stránek cyklistického závodu Author Král Šumavy MTB 2020 a vytvoření seznamu konkrétních opatření zlepšujících organizaci závodu pro ročník 2021 a ročníky následující. Metody: V práci jsou využity tři výzkumné metody (polostrukturovaný rozhovor, zúčastněné pozorování, dotazníkové šetření) a jedna analytická metoda (SWOT analýza). Názory účastníků závodu ukazuje elektronický dotazník rozeslaný na emaily všech závodníků účastnících se ročníku 2020. Pohled organizátorů na management závodu objasňují polostrukturované rozhovory provedené se třemi respondenty vybranými pomocí generátoru náhodných čísel z členů organizačního týmu. Celkovou představu o managementu závodu dokresluje zúčastněné pozorování provedené dvěma na sobě nezávislými výzkumníky v den závodu (22. srpna 2020) v místě konání akce. Veškerá získaná data jsou analyzována prostřednictvím SWOT analýzy. Výsledky: Práce poskytuje podrobnou analýzu 27. ročník závodu. Výsledky ukazují, že mezi silné stránky patří především lokalita závodu, náročnost tras a péče o účastníky, slabou stránkou je naopak současný způsob financování závodu. Lze konstatovat, že do budoucna mezi největší příležitosti patří vytvoření lepšího zázemí pro účastníky a diváky, získání nových...Name: Management of the Author Král Šumavy MTB Race Goal: Presentation of strengths and weaknesses of the Author Král Šumavy MTB 2020 cycling race and the creation of a list of specific measures improving the organisation of the race for the year 2021 and following. Methods: In this thesis three research methods (semi-structured interview, participant observation, questionnaire), and one analytical method (SWOT analysis), are used. The opinions of the race participants weree obtained with an eletronic questionnaire (sent to emails of all participants in 2020). The organizers'view of the race management is clarified through semi-structured interviews. The overall view of the management was observed through participant observation made by two independent researchers on the day of the race (August 22, 2020) at the venue. All obtained data are analysed through SWOT analysis. Results: The thesis provides a detailed analysis of the 27th year of the race. The results show that the strengths include the location of the race, the difficulty of the routes and the care of participants. The weakness is the current way of financing the race. It can be stated that the greatest opportunities for the future are creating a better area for participants and spectators, gaining new partners and improving promotion....ManagementFakulta tělesné výchovy a sportuFaculty of Physical Education and Spor
An Otago storeman in Solomon Islands : the diary of William Crossan, copra trader, 1885-86 /
No full textAn Otago Storeman in Solomon Islands reaches from inland South Island of New Zealand across to the Solomon Islands during the 1880s. William Crossan's Otago experience as a versatile storeman with a solid work ethic helped him survive on the Melanesian frontier where he encountered conflicting clans, cannibalism, cheating traders, and co-operative entrepreneurial big men. His diary provides many glimpses into Makiran society as it encountered new ideas, new employment, and western technology. It is a welcome addition to the sparse record of these cryptic copra traders seeking fortunes on the cusp of indigenous tradition and incoming colonialism.Includes bibliographical references (pages 91-95).An Otago Storeman in Solomon Islands reaches from inland South Island of New Zealand across to the Solomon Islands during the 1880s.

Multi-session VR medical training - The HOPS simulator
No full textVirtual reality medical simulators offer the potential to provide a training environment for a novice doctor to practice skills without risk to patients. However, these simulators must be shown to provide learning before they are used in a medical training environment.This paper describes the first stage of an experiment to assess the effectiveness of the Glasgow Horse Ovary Palpation Simulator for training novice veterinary students.The performance on the simulator of a group of participants has been measured over multiple training sessions. The results show that over 4 training sessions,participants improved in their accuracy in diagnosis on the simulator while reducing the time required to make the diagnosis
Examining mental illness in young adult literature: a translation proposal of Toffee by Sarah Crossan
No full textreservedThe purpose of this dissertation is to present and analyse the translation from English into Italian of
Toffee by Sarah Crossan. It is a Young Adult novel written in an unusual free verse style in which the author tackles hard-hitting themes, such as that of dementia, which are mixed with those of friendship and the research of personal identity. In fact, by using her pen, the author manages to capture what it really means, for a teenager, to feel lonely and lost, or to spend time with someone who is living with dementia. The dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first one provides a brief overview of Young Adult literature and its main characteristics, together with a focus on the presence of difficult themes in the literature intended for young readers. Moreover, it deals with the difficulties that its translation often involves. The second chapter consists of the introduction to the novel, paying particular attention to its features and leading themes, and it also provides the translation proposal of a selection of chapters dealing with dementia. Finally, the third chapter focuses on the problems encountered during the translation process and the strategies employed to solve them
Relationships with management, NPM, discretionary power and performance
No full textThis paper compares the link between workplace relationships with management and employee’s perceptions of discretionary power and performance in the public and private sector post NPM within three countries: two Anglo-American countries (Australia, United Kingdom (UK)) and in one classical Continental country (Italy). The study used survey data from 1945 employees and the analysis using SEM and ANOVAs found that whilst management impacted employee perceptions of discretionary power and performance in all three countries, there were significant differences in public and private sector employee’s engagement performance in all three countries, however, satisfaction with management differed only in Anglo-American countries. The findings suggest evidence of poor management practices across the public and private sector in each of the three countries, suggesting that the post NPM management practices waste scarce public resources by negatively impacting employee performance
O MODELO 4IS DE APRENDIZAGEM ORGANIZACIONAL: UMA ABORDAGEM EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
No full textO presente artigo tem como objetivo destacar a importância da aprendizagem organizacional em instituições de ensino superior por meio do modelo 4Is de Crosson et al (1999). Para que ocorra de maneira eficaz e para facilitar a sua compreensão e utilização, a aprendizagem organizacional necessita dos elementos propostos nesse modelo. Concebendo-se que a aprendizagem organizacional é um processo contínuo e dinâmico e que se dá por meio do elo entre as diversas aprendizagens individuais, Argyris e Schõn (apud FEITOSA, 2006) consideram-na ocorrendo por meio de atores individuais, cujas ações são baseadas em um conjunto de modelos compartilhados, que podem ser definidas como ideias profundamente enraizadas, generalizações e mesmo imagens que influenciam as concepções e quando percebidas como concretas e legítimas se constituem modelos compartilhados. Crossan et al (1999) afirmam que o fluxo de aprendizagem organizacional se dá por meio de quatro processos inter-relacionados: intuição, interpretação, integração e institucionalização e ocorrem em três níveis individual, grupal e organizacional. Em se tratando de instituições de ensino superior, acredita-se, que como qualquer organização necessita de um melhor aproveitamento da aprendizagem organizacional, no que tange a contribuição do seu corpo docente e técnico-administrativo para a busca de melhores resultados. A metodologia utilizada partiu de uma revisão bibliográfica e pesquisa documental sobre a temática. Por fim, conclui-se que o envolvimento de todos os indivíduos é fundamental, e reverterá para um trabalho de cooperação, com motivação e atitude, atingindo os resultados esperados em prol da melhoria na gestão
