W.E. Sangster: Sermons in America
No full textListened to by huge congregations in Britain, and perhaps the most recognizable British Methodist voice in the mid-twentieth century, W.E. Sangster was, in anyone's estimation, a giant of Methodism. This volume captures the preaching of Sangster in his prime, on the occasion of the 1956 World Methodist Conference in Junaluska, North Carolina. The research for this volume brings into the public domain ten sermons, nine previously unpublished, being transcripts of rare and damaged recordings, meticulously transcribed and annotated by the author on the subject of holy living, one of Methodism's characteristic theological emphases

Aircraft technology's: Contribution to sustainable development
No full textAviation brings many advantages to society, reflected in its huge growth figures. But, aviation is also criticized for its many undesired effects. Sustainable Development as a concept is brought forward by many of the actors in the aviation system as a way in which aviation can develop itself in order to reduce its undesired effects. Some actors refer to expected large technological changes as a potential solution for the undesired effects of aviation in all categories of Sustainable Development. This research tries to find out if there is some truth in that last claim, by addressing the following question: What is the potential of a set of expert-selected new aircraft technologies to contribute to Sustainable Development; i.e. what is their potential to reduce actor defined adverse effects of flying while keeping the benefits? Given the results of this research, the expert-selected and assessed technologies have a potential to contribute to some characteristics of Sustainable Development, but, technology cannot keep up with the predicted growth in air travel demand, which increases the adverse effects of aviation. In addition, implementation of new technology and replacement of old technology takes a long time -- up to 40 years. Many roadblocks (e.g. airport infrastructure adaptations) need to be taken out of the way. Psychological mechanisms, such as discounting and fairness appraisal, play a delaying role in the implementation process. For the aviation system as a whole, two important drivers for innovation appear to be lacking: sense of urgency for change and availability of sufficient amounts of money. It is recommended that serious investments be made and incentives created to stimulate the development of other technologies that can contribute to sustainability. In addition, one might search for other options than technology to improve the contribution of aviation to Sustainable Development.Aerospace Engineerin
Beyond Lesson Studies and Design Experiments: Using theoretical tools in practice and finding out how they work
No full textThis paper aims to illustrate how fruitful insights into the link between school teaching practice and student learning outcomes can be theoretically grounded by the variation theory from the field of phenomenography; and from this framework demonstrate how a 'pedagogy of awareness' can be implemented in the classroom. In this study, five teachers and 162 students at Primary Four level of school education in Hong Kong participated and the practice of the 'learning study' was adopted. By comparing the results of pre- and posttests, a significant gain was observed in the students learning outcomes.

Policy Analysis, 1962-2012: From Predict And Act To Monitor And Adapt: Farewell Lecture, delivered on Wednesday, 19 October 2011 by Prof.dr. W.E. (Warren) Walker Professor of Policy Analysis At the Delft University of Technology Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management
No full textEleven years ago, on the 29th of November 2000, I gave my Inaugural speech asa Professor of Policy Analysis at TU Delft. The speech was entitled “Uncertainty:The Challenge for Policy Analysis in the 21st Century” (Walker, 2000b). Since thattime, I have been working with colleagues at TU Delft, RAND, and other organizations to develop ways to meet that challenge. Today, I want to share with you the fruits of this effort. But, to show you how far we have come, I will review the way that uncertainty as dealt with by operations researchers and policy analysts has evolved over time. I will explain the several dimensions and levels of uncertainty, and that different approaches are needed to deal with the different types. I will suggest that the deep uncertainties about the future that we are now facing require additional approaches. And I will describe one such new approach that seems sensible to apply to dealing with problems involving deep uncertainty.Policy Analysi
