Coloring the Conservation Conversation: an evening with J. Drew Lanham
No full textDr. Lanham will discuss what it means to embrace the full breadth of his African-American heritage and his deep kinship to nature and adoration of birds. The convergence of ornithologist, college professor, poet, author and conservation activist blend to bring our awareness of the natural world and our moral responsibility for it forward in new ways. Candid by nature — and because of it — Dr. Lanham will examine how conservation must be a rigorous science and evocative art, inviting diversity and race to play active roles in celebrating our natural world
The IPHAS catalogue of H alpha emission-line sources in the northern Galactic plane
Get PDFWe present a catalogue of point-source H alpha emission-line objects selected from the INT/WFC Photometric Ha Survey (IPHAS) of the northern Galactic plane. The catalogue covers the magnitude range 13 <= r' <= 19.5 and includes Northern hemisphere sources in the Galactic latitude range -5 degrees < b < 5 degrees. It is derived from similar to 1500 deg(2) worth of imaging data, which represents 80 per cent of the final IPHAS survey area. The electronic version of the catalogue will be updated once the full survey data become available. In total, the present catalogue contains 4853 point sources that exhibit strong photometric evidence for Ha emission. We have so far analysed spectra for similar to 300 of these sources, confirming more than 95 per cent of them as genuine emission-line stars. A wide range of stellar populations are represented in the catalogue, including early-type emission-line stars, active late-type stars, interacting binaries, young stellar objects and compact nebulae.
The spatial distribution of catalogue objects shows overdensities near sites of recent or current star formation, as well as possible evidence for the warp of the Galactic plane. Photometrically, the incidence of Ha emission is bimodally distributed in (r' - i'). The blue peak is made up mostly of early-type emission-line stars, whereas the red peak may signal an increasing contribution from other objects, such as young/active low-mass stars. We have cross-matched our H alpha-excess catalogue against the emission-line star catalogue of Kohoutek & Wehmeyer, as well as against sources in SIMBAD. We find that fewer than 10 per cent of our sources can be matched to known objects of any type. Thus IPHAS is uncovering an order of magnitude more faint (r' > 13) emission-line objects than were previously known in the Milky Way

Extramedullary plasmacytoma in a horse with ptyalism and dysphagia
No full textA Clydesdale mare was examined for weight loss, inappetence, ptyalism, and dysphagia. The main abnormality revealed by serum biochemistry was a marked hyperglobulinemia, and protein electrophoresis revealed a monoclonal gammopathy in the gamma region. The urine was positive for Bence Jones proteins. These findings suggested a plasma cell tumor. The neoplasm could not be located with extensive antemortem examination. At postmortem, neoplastic cells morphologically compatible with plasma cells and positive for equine IgG with imunoperoxidase staining infiltrated the pericardium, mediastinal stromal tissues, adrenal glands, meninges, atrioventricular valves, aorta, abdominal and thoracic fat, and nerves, including the trigeminal nerve. The neoplastic cells invading the cranial nerves were responsible for many of the presenting signs.PT: J; CR: BARLOGIE B, 1995, WILLIAMS HEMATOLOGY, P1109 BAUER JD, 1974, CLIN LAB METHODS, P15 BRAUND KG, 1978, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V172, P1407 BRAUND KG, 1979, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V174, P1321 CALNEK BW, 1991, DIS POULTRY, P342 DIMOPOULOS MA, 1994, BLOOD, V83, P1452 DREW RA, 1974, EQUINE VET J, V3, P131 DUNCAN JR, 1994, VET LAB MED CLIN PAT, P112 DUNCAN JR, 1994, VET LAB MED CLIN PAT, P63 EDWARDS DF, 1993, J VET INTERN MED, V7, P169 HENRY M, 1994, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V194, P392 JACKSON MW, 1994, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V204, P404 KENT JE, 1990, EQUINE VET J, V22, P373 MANDEL NS, 1994, J AM ANIM HOSP ASSOC, V30, P603 TRAUBDARGATZ J, 1985, EQUINE VET J, V17, P373; NR: 15; TC: 9; J9: J VET DIAGN INVEST; PG: 3; GA: 312MPSource type: Electronic(1
Social Priming: Exploring the Effects of Speaker Race and Ethnicity on Perception of Second Language Accents
No full textPublished online on 29 september 2024Listeners use more than just acoustic information when processing speech. Social information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, can also affect the processing of the speech signal, in some cases facilitating perception (“social priming”). We aimed to replicate and extend this line of inquiry, examining effects of multiple social primes (i.e., a Middle Eastern, White, or East Asian face, or a control silhouette image) on the perception of Mandarin Chinese-accented English and Arabic-accented English. By including uncommon priming combinations (e.g., a Middle Eastern prime for a Mandarin accent), we aimed to test the specificity of social primes: For example, can a Middle Eastern face facilitate perception of both Arabic-accented English and Mandarin-accented English? Contrary to our predictions, our results indicated no facilitative social priming effects for either of the second language (L2) accents. Results for our examination of specificity were mixed. Trends in the data indicated that the combination of an East Asian prime with Arabic accent resulted in lower accuracy as compared with a White prime, but the combination of a Middle Eastern prime with a Mandarin accent did not (and may have actually benefited listeners to some degree). We conclude that the specificity of priming effects may depend on listeners’ level of familiarity with a given accent and/or racial/ethnic group and that the mixed outcomes in the current work motivate further inquiries to determine whether social priming effects for L2-accented speech may be smaller than previously hypothesized and/or highly dependent on listener experience.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship [grant number DGE-1745038] awarded to Drew J.

John R. Rice and Evangelism: An Essential Mark of Independent Baptist Fundamentalism

JOHN R. RICE AND EVANGELISM: AN ESSENTIAL MARK OF INDEPENDENT BAPTIST FUNDAMENTALISM
Matthew Lee Lyon, Ph.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2019
Chair: Dr. Thomas J. Nettles
This dissertation examines the theology of John R. Rice through the lens of his commitment to evangelism. Rice was a prominent twentieth-century independent Baptist fundamentalist whose ministry covered many areas, including pastor, newspaper editor, and evangelist. This dissertation argues that evangelism was Rice’s focus and defined his other theological, ministerial, and historical perspectives. Rice’s devotion to evangelism, especially as informed by nineteenth-century revivalism, created a unique form of fundamentalism, one that trumped other doctrines, such as separatism. Chapter 2 places Rice in the context of twentieth-century fundamentalism. Rice developed a unique model, focused on cooperation with all believers for evangelism. It was largely abandoned by his successors. Chapter 3 argues that Rice taught that the Christian life and church should be organized entirely around evangelism, following the heart of Jesus. This approach would naturally produce discipleship and church health. Chapter 4 examines Rice’s bibliology. His conversionism led him away from evidentialist and Common Sense views and toward a Reformed, presuppositional perspective. Chapter 5 demonstrates that Rice was only a nominal dispensationalist. Rice held to the system as far as it facilitated evangelism, but no farther. This stance left Rice on the edges of the typical fundamentalist identification with dispensationalism. Chapter 6 analyzes Rice’s opposition to Arminianism and Calvinism. Rice’s held a superficial understanding of both systems, leading him to make errors in evaluating them, as well past Reformed evangelists. Chapter 7 focuses on Rice’s pneumatology. Rice maintained that evangelism was dependent on a post-conversion enduement of power from the Holy Spirit. Rice’s also strongly opposed the tongues theology of Pentecostalism. Chapter 8 examines Rice’s preaching style in relation to current social issues. Rice advocated pointed preaching against modern social ills, primarily as a means to bring conviction. However, Rice drew most of his analysis from a white, conservative culture, centered around authority, demonstrated by his opposition to the Civil Rights Movement. Chapter 9 focuses on Rice’s methodology of evangelism, which was determined by pragmatism. Rice taught that personal evangelism was the most effective means of evangelism, while mass evangelism was necessary mostly as a means to prepare for evangelism
Les crocodiles momifiés du muséum de Lyon
No full textThe Museum of Natural History of Lyon contains a large collection of animal mummies coming from Egypt. All these animals give evidence of a practice which became almost systematic in the Late Period but which was based on more ancient practices according to which only a few specimens had a right to such a treatment after death.
Among the great variety of occuring species, a significant place is held by the crocodiles, not only because of the number of animals (303 preserved ) but also because of the large size of some of them.
In ancient times, saurians lived in great number on the banks of the Nile and they played an important role in the daily life of the Egyptians.
And so, the Egyptians named them, represented and fashioned them in different ways and materials. They also introduced this animal, or one of its representative components, into their religion and, taking into account aspects of its character, drew up a specific theology.
The god Sobek became the "crocodile-god" par excellence and this saurian is to be found in many texts related to cosmogony. Progressively, the primary theology developed so as to gain, from the reign of Alexander the Great (331 B.C.) onwards, a new dimension turned towards common people whose piety had to be materially sustained.
In this way, a clergy kept up a living image of the deity and procured for the faithful the opportunity of wearing upon himself a distinctive symbol of the divine manifestation, in the form of amulets or other articles. Concurrently with these numerous "fetishes" and in consideration of an increasing popular superstition, a priestly trade was set ut around the "sacred" animals due to the creation of huge necropolises. The crocodiles, bred or collected on the banks of the Nile, were mummified by a specialized clergy and then offered to the faithful as a means of fulfilling their desired wishes. The animal which had been chosen to be mummified received the last ritual gestures and was laid down into a burial among a great number of its kind.
Hundreds of mummified crocodiles were taken from these animal necropolises and then scattered all over the world in various museums, among which was the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle of Lyon at the beginning of the century.Le Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Lyon possède une importante collection de momies animales provenant d'Egypte. Tous ces animaux sont les témoins d'une pratique devenue presque systématique à la Basse Epoque mais se fondant sur des coutumes très anciennes où seuls quelques spécimens avaient droit à un tel traitement post-mortem.
Parmi la diversité des espèces représentées, le crocodile tient une place prépondérante tant par le nombre de pièces (303) que par la taille de certains spécimens.
Les sauriens vivaient en grand nombre sur les rives du Nil à la période antique et ils ont occupé une place importante dans la vie quotidienne des anciens Egyptiens.
Ainsi, ces derniers les ont nommés, représentés, façonnés. Ils ont également introduit l'animal, ou l'une de ses parties représentatives, dans leur religion et, en tenant compte de son tempérament, élaboré une théologie spécifique.
Le dieu Sobek devient le "dieu-crocodile" par excellence et un grand nombre de textes font intervenir le saurien dans les récits cosmogoniques. Progressivement, la théologie originelle "évolue" pour at-
teindre, à partir du règne d'Alexandre le Grand (331 av. J.-C.), une image nouvelle tournée vers un peuple dont la piété a besoin d'être soutenue matériellement.
Ainsi, un clergé entretient une image vivante de la divinité et offre au fidèle la possibilité de porter sur lui un emblème tutélaire de la manifestation divine sous la forme d'amulettes ou d'autres objets. A côté de ces nombreux "fétiches" et face à une superstition populaire croissante, un commerce sacerdotal s'organise autour des animaux "sacrés" grâce à la création d'immenses nécropoles. Les crocodiles, élevés et recueillis sur les rives du Nil, sont momifiés par un clergé spécialisé et proposés aux fidèles pressés de faire exaucer un voeu.
L'animal choisi et momifié reçoit les derniers gestes rituels. Il est déposé dans une sépulture autour d'un grand nombre de ses congénères.
C'est dans ces nécropoles animales que des centaines de crocodiles momifiés ont été extraites puis dispersées dans les musées du monde entier, dont le muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Lyon, au début du siècle.Nicolotti Muriel, Robert Laurence.
