Religious Correlates of Hogan's Survey of Ethical Attitudes
No full text The scores of 102 undergraduates on Hogan's Survey of Ethical Attitudes were correlated with an author-devised measure of religious identification, religious upbringing, political attitudes, and socioeconomic background. Personality traits as assessed by the 16 PF were also measured. A factor analysis of questionnaire and personality variables produced factor scores which were then used in a multiple regression to predict survey scores. The best predictor of a moral positivist stance was a factor of current church affiliation combined with a conscientious personality. The second strong factor predicting moral positivism was a factor including a conservative political attitude combined with a well-to-do family background. Weaker predictors of moral positivism were an emotionally stable personality and an upbringing with less emphasis on religion. </jats:p
Characteristics of Elderly Participants in Three Types of Leisure Groups
No full text 145 participants in three types of programs for elderly persons were compared on leisure activities, attitudes toward leisure, social contacts, morale, and demographic variables. The results of discriminant function analyses indicate that older adults participating in RSVP ( n = 30), recreation programs ( n = 45), and nutrition programs ( n = 70) differed in significant ways. Volunteers were highly active, service-oriented people who had fewer social contacts and placed less value on social activities. Recreation group members were sociable, fairly active people with stable living arrangements, who valued friendship and social contacts. Nutrition group members also valued social contacts, but they were much less active, experienced more difficulties with transportation and sensory-motor problems, and appeared to have somewhat lower morale. The patterns observed in the three programs were quite distinct. Development of future programs for elderly persons can be guided by avoiding duplication of service among existing programs and by focusing on possible need patterns of non-participating elderly. </jats:p

Teaching Theology as a Christian Spiritual Practice: The Example of Stanley J. Grenz
No full textDegree awarded: Ph.D. Spirituality. The Catholic University of AmericaThis dissertation explores the recent work on spiritual practices in the academic discipline of Christian spirituality, gathering together the strengths of various conceptions of practice from the literature and developing a rigorous definition of a Christian spiritual practice: Christian spiritual practices are things God enables Christian people to do together over time to address fundamental human needs in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, activities that together form a way of life that pleases God and through which God teaches and transforms persons into the image of the Son.Practices may be Christian or may not be, depending upon whether practitioners ground their practices in the Christian tradition, reflect critically upon them in light of that tradition, and recognize God's agency within them. Thus, teaching theology may or may not be performed as a Christian spiritual practice. This study examines the activities of reading, writing, and teaching—all broadly defined—as the three necessary and sufficient practices of theological education, and determines that each of them may be done in an engaged or a disengaged fashion, an “academic” or a “spiritual” orientation, or some mixture of the two. Engaged theological educators tend to exhibit the dispositions of humble hospitality, reflective and attentive contemplation, and prayerful conversation in their reading, writing, and teaching.After carefully correlating the aspects of the definition of Christian spiritual practices with the composite practice of theological education, this thesis contends that teaching theology can meet the definition of a Christian spiritual practice. The work of Stanley J. Grenz, a prominent evangelical theologian, establishes that he employed reading, writing, and teaching while exhibiting the dispositions enumerated above, marking him as an engaged theological educator. His pursuit of teaching theology as a Christian spiritual practice can serve as a model for others to emulate, possibly contributing to a reunion of spirituality and theological pedagogy in the lives of individual teachers, their students and colleagues, and the corporate people of God.Made available in DSpace on 2011-02-24T20:48:18Z (GMT).

A Note on Line-Baer subspace Partitions of PG(3, 4)
No full textWe consider the partitioning of PG(3, 4) into two types of objects, lines and Baer sub-3-spaces. Any such mixed partition gives rise to a spread of PG(7, 2) (and hence a projective plane of order 16) via a construction tech-nique given in [6]. The author has used the software package Magma to de-termine all such mixed partitions up to equivalence. It turns out that all of the translation planes of order 16 arise from one of the mixed partitions. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 51E2
Horace Kephart, pioneer interpreter of the southern highlands
No full textThis article is a memorial to Horace Kephart (1862-1931), a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left his work as a librarian in St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. His popular book, “Camping and Woodcraft” was first published 1906; the 1916/1917 edition is considered a standard manual for campers after almost a century of use. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains, producing “Our Southern Highlanders” in 1913. Throughout his life, Kephart wrote many articles supporting the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.HORACE Ml. .. I II -% I! n

Problem prevođenja frazema i metafora s hrvatskoga na engleski na primjeru romana Svena Popovića "Uvjerljivo drugi"
No full textThis thesis comprises five annotated translations, accompanied by a discussion. Excerpts from three books were translated from English into Croatian (This is going to hurt. Secret diaries of a junior doctor. by Adam Kay, The Translation of Children’s Literature. A Reader. by Gillian Lathey, Quantitative research methods in translation and interpreting studies by Christopher Mellinger and Thomas Hanson), and two from Croatian into English (Narodni preporod u Istri (1860-1907) by Antoni Cetnarowitz, Uvjerljivo drugi by Sven Popović). The discussion focused on the issue of translating idiomatic expressions and metaphors from Croatian into English on the example of the novel Uvjerljivo drugi by Sven Popović. The discussion also included the theoretical framework for the translation process and explained how the dialect, register and style can affect the whole process. The examples translated were either well-known idiomatic expressions and metaphors or those invented by the author which made the whole process challenging, however the discussion proved that no matter these challenges, the translation proved as a possible outcome.Ovaj se diplomski rad sastoji od pet prijevoda i rasprave. Dijelovi triju knjiga prevedeni su s engleskoga jezika na hrvatski (Adam Kay: This is going to hurt. Secret diaries of a junior doctor., Gillian Lathey: The Translation of Children’s Literature. A Reader., Christopher Mellinger i Thomas Hanson: Quantitative research methods in translation and interpreting studies) te su dijelovi dviju prevedeni s hrvatskoga jezika na engleski (Antoni Cetnarowitz: Narodni preporod u Istri (1860-1907) i Sven Popović: Uvjerljivo drugi). Tema rasprave bio je problem prevođenja frazema i metafora s hrvatskoga na engleski na primjeru romana Svena Popovića "Uvjerljivo drugi" te je rasprava uključivala teoriju na kojoj se temeljio prevoditeljski proces i objašnjenje kako dijalekt, registar i stil mogu utjecati na taj proces. Primjeri u diplomskom radu su bile ili poznate hrvatske idiomatske ekspresije i metafore ili one koje se smatraju autorskim inovacijama koje su ujedno učinile proces prevođenja još zahtjevnijim. Međutim, rasprava je pokazala da je prijevod bio moguć bez obzira na te izazove
