Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Critical pedagogy in hard financial times
No full textPeter Mayo takes issue with education financing not from an economic or technical
viewpoint, but from a philosophical and systemic one, drawing on critical pedagogy.
There is no sense, this article argues, to talk of higher education or its funding without
reference to the capitalist system which the mainstream education discourse reaffirms. The author concludes with an alternative vision of lifelong learning as a social act for the creation and enhancing of democratic spaces, reflected in the ongoing global “Occupy” protests for social equality.peer-reviewe

Narrative support for technical documents: Formalising Rhetorical Structure Theory
No full textBusiness Process Re-engineering (BPR) is an area that requires a lot of technical documents and an important feature of a well-written document is a coherent narrative. Even though computer software has helped authors in many other aspects of writing, support for document narratives is almost non-existent. Therefore, we introduce CANS (Computer-Aided Narrative Support), a tool that uses Rhetorical Structure Theory to enhance the narrative of a document. From this narrative, the tool generates questions to prompt the author for the content of the document. CANS also allows the author to explore alternative narratives for a document. A catalogue of predefined narrative structures for popular types of documents is provided too. Our tool is still in its rudimentary stages but sufficiently complete to be demonstrated
Florida Historical Quarterly Podcast Episode 07: Fall 2010
No full textWe interviewed the three authors that contributed to this special issue, all of whom are graduate students finishing their Ph.D.s on Florida history topics. We asked the authors about their experiences researching a Florida topic while early in their scholarly careers. Our guests on this podcast were Deborah L. Bauer, author of “. . . in a strange place”: The Experiences of British Women during the Colonization of East & West Florida,” Nicole C. Cox, author of “Selling Seduction: Women and Feminine Nature in 1920s Florida,” and Peter Ferdinando, author of “A Translation History of Florida.”https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq-podcast/1006/thumbnail.jp
MCM-GINS and MCM-MCM interactions in vivo visualised by bimolecular fluorescence complementation in fission yeast
No full textBackground: Each of the three individual components of the CMG complex (Cdc45, MCM and GINS) is essential for chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotic cells, both for the initiation of replication at origins and also for normal replication fork progression. The MCM complex is a DNA helicase that most likely functions as the catalytic core of the replicative helicase, unwinding the parental duplex DNA ahead of the moving replication fork, whereas Cdc45 and the GINS complex are believed to act as accessory factors for MCM. Results:To investigate interactions between components of the CMG complex, we have used bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe for the first time, to analyse protein-protein interactions between GINS and MCM subunits expressed from their native chromosomal loci. We demonstrate interactions between GINS andMCM in the nuclei of exponentially-growing fission yeast cells and on chromatin in binucleate S-phase cells. In addition we present evidence of MCM-MCM interactions in diploid fission yeast cells. As with GINS-MCM interactions, MCM-MCM interactions also occur on chromatin in S-phase cells. Conclusion: Bimolecular fluorescence complementation can be used in fission yeast to visualise interactions between two of the three components of the CMG complex, offering the prospect that this technique could in the future be used to allow studies on replication protein dynamics in living S. pombe cells.Peer reviewe

L-optimal transportation for Ricci flow
No full textWe introduce the notion of L-optimal transportation, and use it to construct a natural monotonic quantity for Ricci flow which includes a selection of other monotonicity results, including some key discoveries of Perelman [13] (both related to entropy and to L-length) and a recent result of McCann and the author [11]
La construcción social de la realidad: la posición de Peter L. Berger y Thomas Luckmann
No full textThe author exposes the thought of the authors Peter L.
BERGER and Thomas LUCKMANN, on the basis of the work La construcción
social de la realidad. For these authors, the reality is established
as consequence of a dialectical process between social relations,
typifi ed habits and social structures, looked from a social point of
view. The sense and character of this reality is understood and explained
by means of the knowledge. The author indicates and criticizes the defi nitions of the principal theses of the work of the sociologists in comment, and structures the work in two parts, in the fi rst one, treats about the society as objective reality, and in the second one, about the society as subjective reality.El autor expone el pensamiento de los autores Peter L.
BERGER y Thomas LUCKMANN, en base a la obra La construcción social
de la realidad. Para estos autores, la realidad se establece como
consecuencia de un proceso dialéctico entre relaciones sociales,
hábitos tipifi cados y estructuras sociales, mirado desde un punto de
vista social. El sentido y carácter de esta realidad es comprendido y
explicado por medio del conocimiento. El autor señala y critica las
defi niciones de las tesis principales de la obra de los sociólogos en
comento, y estructura el trabajo en dos partes, en la primera, trata
de la sociedad como realidad objetiva, y en la segunda, a la sociedad
como realidad subjetiva
