David Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981 and twentieth-century evangelicalism.
No full textThe purpose of this thesis was to demonstrate the significance of the life and ministry of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones in post-war British evangelicalism and to show that, so far as Protestant churches in England and Wales were concerned, no history of the period can afford to ignore him. It is our contention that despite differences of opinion and self- marginalization Lloyd-Jones was and has remained a major force in evangelical thinking. In order to understand how this developed the thesis has been structured along thematic lines highlighting events, persons and questions. The study begins by setting the stage with a biographical chapter and goes on to examine the kind of impact that Lloyd-Jones's preaching had on Christians of all denominations. He believed preaching to be the greatest need of the day and the position of this thesis is that preaching was Lloyd-Jones's greatest contribution to twentieth- century Christianity. As a preacher he attracted one of London's largest congregations and in chapter three we look at the history and nature of Westminster Chapel comparing it with neighbouring ministries, and establishing the kind of people who went to hear him. Chapters four and five ascertain the factors which shaped Lloyd-Jones's views on the church and show how his Reformed evangelicalism led in a separatist as opposed to an ecumenical direction and finally, to a position which was neither Congregational nor Presbyterian. Our further argument is that while he favoured unity among believers his separatist ecclesiology only exacerbated the situation and left evangelicals more divided than before. Chapters six to eight evaluate Lloyd-Jones's background, the nature of his leadership and the extent of his influence - factors which either shaped or were the outcome of his ministry - and looks at the issues which these questions raise

Marc Jacobs Unseen
No full textMarc Jacobs Unseen is ‘the first publication dedicated to Marc Jacobs’s highly influential creations’*, described by The Observer as ‘a rare insight’ and Vogue as ‘a real revelation’. The particular focus of this critical appraisal is the personal archive (a recurring feature in Webb’s practice), notably those of the subject (Marc Jacobs), the photographer (Robert Fairer), and the author (Webb). The genesis of the text for this sole-authored book that accompanies new primary material in the form of Fairer’s previously unseen backstage images, is research from Webb’s own archive, amassed over four decades during his career at the forefront of the fashion industry, and represents a culmination of the author’s commitment to the promotion of the importance of the archive as material culture, as methodology and as providing an individual insight into creative thinking. The text takes the form of painstakingly assembled commentaries, each presenting a study of specific collections, highlighting particular garments and ensembles along with an analysis of environment and staging. ‘Working with Iain R. Webb…was illuminating,’ says Fairer. Jacobs Unseen is a valuable and illuminating analysis for both colleagues and students, especially those working in areas of fashion design, journalism and visual communication

Deposited in UWIM. Distribution. Known only from the type localities in Napo Province, Ecuador. Biology. Meterous horologium is a gregarious species reared from a Limacodidae larva, known familiarly as “ver mas tarde” by the gusaneros, but more recently identified by Marc Epstein as Parasa macrodonta Hering & Hopp, 1927 (Fig. 15). Twenty wasps emerged from one host larva. Meteorus horologium was reared from a caterpillar that was found feeding on an unknown species of Piper (Piperaceae). Etymology. Named for the “hourglass-esque” shape on the second tergite, from Latin for “hourglass”. Comments. There are a few Meteorus species with distinct patterns on tergite 2: M. oviedoi, M. rugonasus and M. imaginatus. The Costa Rican M. oviedoi has a more distinct hourglass shape and the costate sculpture of tergum one is strongly converging posteriorly, while the sculpturing on tergum one on M. horologium is mostly parallel. Meteorus oviedoi was the first record of a Meteorus utilizing a Limacodidae larvae as a host (Shaw & Nishida, 2005), so now M. horologium is the second record of limacodid host utilization within this parasitoid genus. Meteorus rugonasus also had a variable hourglass-esque color variation as well, but M. rugonasus has a convex and coarsely rugose clypeus (Shaw & Jones 2009). The clypeus is smooth for H. horologium. Additionally, this is the first hymenopteran parasitoid record for this host caterpillar. Previously, only tachinid flies were known to be parasitoids of Parasa macrodonta.Published as part of Jones, Guinevere Z. & Shaw, Scott R., 2012, Ten new species of Meteorus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Ecuador reared at the Yanayacu Biological Center for Creative Studies, pp. 1-23 in Zootaxa 3547 on pages 7-9, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21088
Investigating factors that influence English L2+ perceptual vowel acquisition
No full textThis thesis is based upon a selected 5 papers and articles themed around perceptual phonology acquisition and listening for English as a second/additional language (L2+). The articles are focused upon the use of Global Englishes and prestige varieties as a source of vowel acquisition (Jones & Blume, 2022) and as potential factors in listening difficulty (Jones 2024d); visual salience as a factor in vowel acquisition (Jones, 2024c), and the effect of feedback timing on vowel acquisition (Jones, 2024e). Additionally, a conference paper discusses potential methods for small sample analysis, particularly Bayesian methods (Jones 2024a), which uses Jones and Blume (2022) as an example, but which is also a rationale for the analysis methods in all three of the quantitative articles (Jones & Blume, 2022; Jones 2024c and 2024e).
The rationale behind the studies is that L2+ listening is a difficult skill and partly this is due to many learners having incomplete English phonology development. This is particularly the case in the author's context, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) for English Medium Instruction (EMI) in Japanese higher education. Many L1 Japanese, and other L1 Asian language learners of English, experience problems due to the larger vowel inventory of English. Such a difference in vowel inventory means that vowels are likely categorised as L1 equivalents, which may cause difficulties when two different English vowels are categorised as examples of the same L1 vowel.
An overview is given of the different models that inform the theoretical scaffold of the dissertation. The Perceptual assimilation Model (PAM; Best 1995) and PAM-L2 (Best & Tyler, 2007) are discussed, with their relevance for L2+ learners of English, as well as being a model which assumes all language categorisation occurs within the same template, i.e. all language categories are stored centrally and used across all languages. The Speech Learning Model (SLM; Flege, 1995) and its revision, SLM-r (Flege & Bohn, 2021) is discussed as an example of what occurs with regard to high achieving learners; additionally, the SLM and SLM-r are of interest because they are models of phonetic rather than phonemic based learning. A further point of interest is that the SLM claims that first and second languages affect one another over time, with phonetic categories of L1 and L2 blurring. The Second Language Linguistic Perception model (L2LP; Escudero, 2005) examines the L2 state as it develops over time with exposure to L2 learning activities, ultimately culminating in an end state, and being able to be compared to the optimal state of language learning the L2(+). A further model, the Natural Referent Vowel framework (NRV; Polka and Bohn, 2011) explains why some vowels, in particular vowels with
extremes of openness, closedness, and tongue protrusion/extrusion, are more readily learned than others.
A description of the methodologies of the studies used in producing the included articles is given: essentially following a pretest-post-test structure, although one study used a pretest-post-test-delayed post-test structure. As mentioned above, Bayesian analysis methods were used to analyse the data obtained. The reason for Bayesian methods, as opposed to more commonly used frequentist statistical analyses, is that Bayesian methods are more suited to the smaller sample sizes that are common in applied linguistics, and particularly classroom-based research. It is noted that the nature of all of this research is exploratory, and the case is made that this should be the default state of applied linguistics research, particularly classroom-based research, and that null hypothesis statistical testing is an ill-advised process with novel research (see also Trafimow, 2024).
General findings are that the use of Global Englishes as opposed to prestige varieties has no effect on phonology acquisition (Jones & Blume, 2022) or listening difficulty (Jones, 2024d). Additionally, preliminary evidence is found that suggests a link between visual salience and perceptual vowel acquisition (Jones, 2024c). However, the Bayes Factors in the statistical analysis do not suggest strong evidence of a connection, therefore it is suggested that further research is required. Feedback timing is found to have a role in acquisition of L2+ vowels (Jones, 2024e), with delayed feedback being more beneficial for learning. Furthermore, a coincidental finding across the studies is that crammed learning appears to affect vowel acquisition, and has an interaction with learning of all target vowels
and certain vowels depending upon the learning interventions.
The findings above are used to construct and/or support theories, such as a Bayesian model of phonology learning, where prior input is used as a reference when L2+ listening takes place. Such prior input is constantly revised, and thus parsing and listening skills develop. The dissertation concludes with the contributions to research and language teaching pedagogy and avenues for further research based upon the findings within the dissertation, some of which the author is undertaking as the dissertation goes to press
Amphiphilic Janus particles for aerobic alcohol oxidation in oil foams
No full textAmphiphilic Janus silica particles, tunable with oleophobic–oleophilic properties and low fluorine content (8 wt % F), exhibited prominent foamability for a variety of aromatic alcohols at low particle concentrations (<1 wt %) compared to randomly functionalized silica particles. When selectively loaded with Pd nanoparticles on the oleophilic hemisphere, the particles displayed more than a 2-fold increase in catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol compared to nonfoam bulk catalysis under ambient O2 pressure. The particles were conveniently recycled with high foamability and catalytic activity maintained for at least five consecutive runs
