Introduction : Heidegger and Theology after the Black Notebooks
No full textThis introductory chapter gives an overview of the intricate relation between Heidegger and theology. Firstly, it discusses Heidegger’s indebtedness to theology by revisiting the debate that was initiated by the publication of his early Freiburg lectures in the 1990s. Second, it sketches in broad strokes the reception history of Heidegger’s works within twentieth century theology. In the third and final part, the implication of the new facts revealed by the Black Notebooks are discussed. By revisiting Hans Jonas’s lecture ‘Heidegger and Theology’, delivered at Drew University in 1964, the author indicates how Jonas already in the 1960s revealed the potential shortcomings of a theology that takes its basics tenets from Heidegger’s philosophy

The Ocean Age: #39: Dr Catherine Jadot – Blue Finance Expert and Author of “How It Doesn’t End”
No full textToday we dive into the finance side of the ocean economy because, like it or not, without capital, we won’t be able to make the impact and change we want to see in the world. Finance will be needed to make it happen.
To explore this difficult topic, we sat down with Dr Catherine Jadot, author of the book “How It Doesn’t End”. She’s a fantastic person to talk about this because she’s a marine biologist AND blue-economy finance specialist with over 20 years of experience working with organisations from governments to start-ups.
We didn’t just cover blue finance; we also looked at the psychology of action and the behavioural science behind influencing the positive change ocean founders and innovators want to see

Medieval textual production and the politics of women's writing: case studies of two medieval women writers and their critical reception
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 1991 Nicola Jayne Watkinson.Recent discussions of the state of Medieval Studies, sparked by such books as Lee Patterson’s Negotiating the Past, provide an important impetus for this thesis because they highlight the critical abyss which exists between Medieval Studies and other areas of literary studies. For one entering the field of Medieval Literary Studies this revelation is disturbing and inhibiting. However, the history of Medieval Studies cannot be ignored by those now working within the area. If Medieval Studies is to survive it must come to terms with its past and recognise the precarious position in which the discipline now stands as a result of its academic isolation. ..

First Ever First-Year Student Adjustment to College: Cultivating Community, Voice, and Place for First-Year Students at GSU
No full textProgram description as provided by the author:
In Fall 2014 Governors State University (GSU) welcomed its first ever cohort of 242 first-year students. Following the guidelines established by the Leadership Education & America’s Promise (LEAP) initiative, GSU incorporated four high impact practices—learning communities, first year seminars, common intellectual experiences, and writing intensive courses—aimed at improving student learning and achieving higher levels of student persistence. These practices have demonstrated a particular benefit for first generation students who come from economically challenged communities and/or identify as students of color. While many students navigate a divide between their home and academic worlds, research reveals that students “learn best by interacting with others and sharing experiences” (Lei 2011 et al.).
The proposed panel is formed by researchers of GSU’s First Year Experience Study (FYES), an ongoing investigation examining the factors that have positively or negatively impacted students’ college experiences at GSU. This longitudinal project examines the perspectives of three years of first year classes on high impact educational practices, as well as the impact that their high school preparation, cultural backgrounds, families, friends, and communities have had on their college experience. The objectives are to: 1) examine the obstacles first generation students face in the cohort model at GSU; 2) understand what experiences and relationships have enhanced student’s college experience at GSU; and 3) analyze how the cohort model can better facilitate learning and socialization at GSU. During the presentation, three presenters will address the research methods used, key preliminary findings, and the significance of the research

The potential for natural attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater: Shell Newport Terminal, Victoria
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2000 Amelia Jayne LavisGroundwater in the fractured and jointed Quaternary Newer Volcanics basaltic aquifer system beneath the Shell Newport Terminal has been contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons. This petroleum hydrocarbon contamination has resulted from a number of different spill incidents over the terminal's long operation.
Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination has led to the formation of a light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) floating on the water table. Associated dissolved and vapour phases have also developed within the basaltic aquifer. The effectiveness of natural attenuation processes to remediate the petroleum hydrocarbon contamination has been evaluated based on the gas chromatography / mass spectroscopy analysis of LNAPL samples and changes in groundwater geochemistry.
Three distinct LNAPL plumes were identified within the Shell Newport Terminal jet facility plume (kerosene source); off-site plume along High 8t (mixed source of leaded petrol, kerosene, and diesel); and black oil fuel gantry plume, which is migrating off-site to Digman Reserve (mixed source of leaded petrol, shell sol A, and diesel). LNAPL ratio analysis revealed only that the samples were degraded compared to their estimated source composition. Further interpretation of ratios was difficult due to constraints involved in source compositions, sampling limitations, heterogeneity of the groundwater system, and high transport velocities of the groundwater compared to LNAPL migration.
