A Vietnamese Moses : Philiphê Bỉnh and the geographies of early modern Catholicism /
No full text"A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits. Based on Binh's surviving writings from his thirty-seven-year exile in Portugal, this book examines how the intersections of global and local Roman Catholic geographies shaped the lives of Vietnamese Christians in the early modern era. The book also argues that Binh's mission to Portugal and his intense lobbying on behalf of his community reflected the agency of Vietnamese Catholics, who vigorously engaged with church politics in defense of their distinctive Portuguese-Catholic heritage. George E. Dutton demonstrates the ways in which Catholic beliefs, histories, and genealogies transformed how Vietnamese thought about themselves and their place in the world. This sophisticated exploration of Vietnamese engagement with both the Catholic Church and Napoleonic Europe provides a unique perspective on the complex history of early Vietnamese Christianity"--Publisher.Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-326) and index.Philiphê Bỉnh and the Catholic geographies of Tonkin -- A Catholic community in crisis -- Journeys : Macao, Goa, and Lisbon -- Arrival in Lisbon and first encounters -- Invoking the Padroado : Bỉnh and Prince Dom João -- Waiting for Bỉnh in Tonkin and Macao -- Life in Lisbon and the Casa do Espirito Santo, 1807-1833 -- The tales of Philiphê Bỉnh."A Vietnamese Moses is the story of Philiphê Binh, a Vietnamese Catholic priest who in 1796 traveled from Tonkin to the Portuguese court in Lisbon to persuade its ruler to appoint a bishop for his community of ex-Jesuits.

The Duchess of Suffolk
No full textWith the inaugural edition of the Early Modern Drama Texts series, Richard Dutton and Steven K. Galbraith illuminate the only surviving work of playwright and actor Thomas Drue. First performed by the Palsgrave’s Men at the Fortune Theater in 1624, The Duchess of Suffolk dramatizes the exile of Protestant noblewoman Katherine Willoughby (1519–80) during the reign of Catholic Queen Mary I (1516–58). Drawing from popular accounts in works by John Foxe and Thomas Deloney, Drue created a narrative of exaggerated peril, as the Duchess and her companions are chased across the continent. The embellished history evokes many iconic figures of the Reformation, from the celebrated Oxford Martyrs Hugh Latimer, Thomas Cranmer, and Nicholas Ridley to Bishop Edmund Bonner, whose infamous reputation had earned him the soubriqet “bloody Bonner.” A tragicomic history, The Duchess of Suffolk still resonated when it was written and performed in early seventeenth-century England some seventy years later.With this volume, Dutton and Galbraith provide a critical apparatus that situates The Duchess of Suffolk in historical context and suggests an explanation for its continued resonance. They account for the play’s censorship in 1624 by detailing how it evoked contemporary parallels to the controversial foreign policy of King James I. More specifically, the editors offer an introduction that includes a historical overview of the author, staging, printing, and reception. Facing facsimiles of the original are pages with the updated text, complete with annotations to clarify language and staging details. This edition of The Duchess of Suffolk will have something to offer to early modern drama scholars as well as scholars of book history
Inter-agency Cooperation and New Approaches to Employability
No full textThis article examines the role of inter-agency cooperation, which is one form of ‘partnership’, in new approaches to employability in the UK. The article articulates a ‘model for effective partnership working’ on employability. This model is applied first in a general review of employability policy and then to discuss case study research on the recent ‘Pathways to Work’ and ‘Working Neighbourhoods’ pilots. It is argued that successful partnerships need a clear strategic focus based on a necessity for inter-agency cooperation and institutional arrangements that allow for shared ownership, trust and mutualism, and flexibility in resource-sharing. While some of these factors are apparent in UK employability services, an over-reliance on contractualism and centralized organizational structures may undermine partnership-based approaches. Many of the success factors associated with effective partnership working appeared to be in place, even though the role of the Public Employment Service was fundamentally different in each case (as a key actor in implementing the first pilot, but largely withdrawing from the implementation role in the second). The article concludes by outlining the relevance of this model and the case study findings to discussions of the future development of employability policies and related partnership working

A cross species metabolomics analysis on the effect of biological stressors such as depression and sleep loss on the host metabolome
No full textIt would be next to impossible to list the many people who have supported and helped me get to where I am today. My trajectory from birth to graduate school has not been linear. I have always had a natural curiosity about the world around me; starting from my time growing up as an illegal immigrant in the city of Los Angeles, to my time served as rifleman in the United State Marine Corps, and my current position as a scientist. The richness of these experiences has had a profound influence on the way I approach life. Through it all, Patricia, my mother, sacrificed everything and made this possible. Cristina, my younger sister, has been a constant reminder that I have an obligation as an older brother to make her proud. Arpa, my love and joy, has walked this crucible called graduate school next to me, and has been a constant source of love and encouragement. To the three most important people in my life, thank you for everything. My success as a scientist can be attributed to the various scientist I can call mentors and friends. Professor Jamil Momand, my undergraduate advisor and research mentor, introduced me to the field of biochemistry and encourage me to pursue my Ph.D.. Thank you for your guidance and support. Professor Pieter C. Dorrestein, my Ph.D mentor, provided me with a once in a life time experience graduate education in mass spectrometry and its application in life sciences. I cannot express how thankful I am for your mentorship, guidance, and support. The environment that you have cultivated in the Dorrestein lab provided me with the tools and opportunities to grow and succeed as a researcher. I will always appreciate everything that you have done for me. I would also like to thank my committee members for their role in my graduate education, thank you Professor Rob Knight, Professor Rachel Dutton, Professor Susan S. Golden, and Professor Jose Pruneda-Paz.Chapter 2, in full, is a reprint of the material as it appears in Journal of The American Society for Mass Spectrometry 2019. da Silva, R.

Barriers to gender-based violence care: a qualitative study of migrant and refugee women
No full textSouth Africa has long served as a destination for migrants from sub-Saharan African nations, with a growing proportion of this population being women in recent years. Female migrants experience an increased risk for gender-based violence (GBV) during the migratory journey and upon resettlement. Accessible and culturally sensitive health, psychosocial, and justice services are necessary to promote holistic recovery for survivors. However, numerous barriers, influenced by widespread xenophobia and increasingly restrictive immigration legislation, have limited this population's access to care. The study aims to explore the barriers encountered by female migrants when accessing care services following experiences of GBV. This qualitative, exploratory study was conducted in Cape Town, South Africa between June and December 2023. Participants were purposively sampled and recruited in partnership with a local migrant organization. Their countries of origin included Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zimbabwe. Data was collected through face-to-face, semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 female migrants and four key informant (KI) service providers. Interviews explored women's experiences of accessing and utilizing post-violence care services. Inductive thematic analysis guided the study. Data analysis revealed that within a context of xenophobic discrimination and economic instability, female migrants face multiple obstacles in the accessibility and acceptability of post-violence care services. Notable themes in accessibility include a lack of access to information deriving from participants' severe levels of isolation and language barriers. This is compounded by social inaccessibility due to cultural norms against reporting GBV and bureaucratic inaccessibility from prolonged documentation processes. Acceptability of services found multiple reports of xenophobic treatment and victim-blaming behaviour from service providers which impacted women's willingness to seek care. However, many still expressed generally positive sentiments about the progressive nature of social services in South Africa in contrast to their home countries. A lack of information about available postviolence resources, language and cultural barriers, as well as bureaucratic challenges, are limiting the migrant woman's ability to seek help following instances of GBV in Cape Town. Findings demonstrate how non-governmental organizations and individual citizens are currently filling a gap in referrals and service provision raising concerns about sustainability. Advocacy and government intervention are necessary to ensure post-violence care services can adequately meet the needs of migrant women. This mini-dissertation is comprised of two components; Part A is the research protocol for how the study was conducted and Part B in a journal manuscript detailing the process and findings of the study
