The sense of a beginning : Bakhtinian dialogic criticism on 'the gospel' in Mark.
No full textContemporary literary approaches have caused paradigm shifts in Biblical Studies in the last two decades as it appears in a great deal of Markan studies using narrative, reader-response, deconstructive, feminist, and new historicist approaches. However, literary studies on the Gospel of Mark have not taken into account theoretical questions underlying those approaches. As a result biblical critics are driven by new trends without ever having a chance to examine the critical baggage of the approaches. Consequently, there is a gap of communication between the old and the new one. Therefore this thesis is an attempt to meet the need of enhancing the quality of critical endeavour in biblical studies. In the light of most recent competing critical theories of literature, the first contribution of this thesis is the methodological finding that Bakhtinian dialogic criticism contains the most profound philosophical and practical foundations for solving some crucial theoretical problems in contemporary literary theories. It is a critique to a Saussurian linguistic system of language which becomes the very foundation of modern and postmodern literary criticism. Bakhtinian literary theory shifts the foundation of literary criticism on linguistic signs into the creative activity of the socio-cultural production of human communication. The shift into socio-cultural reality of language communication makes the notion of 'genre' very important to unlock the problem of text and context in literary studies. Since the Gospel of Mark has fascinated most literary critics in Biblical Studies, the problem of 'genre' of this gospel is chosen as the focus of this study. Secondly, as no agreement is reached as to what 'genre' the Gospel of Mark belongs, this thesis makes its contribution to the discussion by locating the problem of 'genre' of Mark in the context of genre theories and argues that the Bakhtinian suggestion to find genre in the socio-cultural sphere by analysing artistic intercourse between narrative agents in Mark has freed the competing analysis from the unresolved problem between the kerygmatic (content oriented) approach and the analogical (form oriented) approach. To achieve finding 'genre' in the socio-cultural sphere, this thesis focuses on Bakhtinian analysis of the process of artistic intercourse between narrative agents. The narrative communicative interrelationships between narrative agents is constructed in this thesis as a 'stereophonic' Bakhtinian model of dialogic communication. This model is an original contribution of this thesis for revising the traditional two dimensional model of narrative communication. Based on this dialogical model of communication, a special role is given to the Bakhtinian 'author-creator' in the realization process of genre through the interaction of polyphonic voices. Through the interaction of voices of the author-artist and the hero we are led to discover a relatively stable type of portraying and controlling reality in Mark, known as the genre of Roman 'satire'. The closest literary affinity is Satyrica by Petronius. This narrative strategy of 'satire' in Mark has its root in the prophetic discourse of the Old Testament which is saturating the speech of the narrator, John the Immerser, the centurion, the people, and even Jesus. Finally, the whole search for Markan 'genre' culminates in the analysis of the realization of genre through the analysis of Bakhtinian chronotope. The reality of the genre of Mark is its social reality that is in its role as dpxrj/ 'beginning'. As the Gospel of Mark proclaims itself as 'a beginning', it defines its claim of socio-cultural 'authority' in early Christianity. It is this 'sense of beginning' which enables the narrating and the narrated world of Mark to interact dialogically
Pitfalls of Frozen Section in Gynaecological Pathology: A case of endometrial tumor with sex- cord- like elements
No full textEndometrial stromal tumor with sex cord- like elements (ESTSCLE) is a rare entity which shares similar histological features with uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCT). Differentiating the two entities involves ample sampling of the tissue to distinguish the percentage of sex- cord components within the tissue, genetic studies and immunohistochemical staining. Frozen section provides limited information for exclusion of either tumor; and the tumor is rare enough that the diagnosis may not be considered with the limited sampling; therefore deferral of diagnosis to permanent sections may be appropriate.Peer reviewe

Interactions of the electron transport proteins of methylotrophic bacteria
No full textThis thesis describes an investigation into the nature of the interactions of the periplasmic electron transport proteins of methylotrophic bacteria. The organisms used in this study were two highly characterised methylotrophs, Methylophilus methylotrophus and Methylobacterium extorquens. Methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) from Methylophilus methylotrophus was shown to contain a small (β) subunit and to exist in an α2β2 subunit conformation. The amino acid sequence of the β-subunit was determined and comparison with the sequence of the same subunit from Methylobacterium extorquens indicated that many of the lysine residues previously proposed to be involved in the reaction with cytochrome cL were absent. This led to doubts about the role of the β-subunit. The interaction of MDH and the novel c-type cytochrome, cytochrome c_L, was investigated using two cytochrome-linked assay systems, the first using horse-heart cytochrome c as the terminal electron acceptor, the second, a novel assay system developed so as to limit protein/protein interactions to a single site, used the dye PIP as the terminal electron acceptor. Introduction of various salts into the cytochrome-linked assay caused inhibition of electron transport, indicating an interaction that is electrostatic in nature. EDTA was shown to be a potent inhibitor of electron transfer. Modification of the side-chains of various amino acid residues indicated that positively-charged lysine residues on MDH interact with negatively-charged carboxyl groups on cytochrome c_L. Two-stage sulpho-NHS enhanced EDC cross-linking of MDH and cytochrome c_L demonstrated that the cytochrome interacts with the α-subunit of MDH, not with the β-subunit as was originally proposed, and that carboxyl groups on cytochrome c_L cross-link with lysine residues on MDH. Cross-linking was inhibited by the introduction of salts, but not by low concentrations of EDTA, suggesting that EDTA is a potent inhibitor of methanol oxidation by inhibiting electron transfer but not by preventing docking of the two proteins. Two-stage cross-linking also demonstrated that cytochrome c_L interacts with its electron acceptor, cytochrome c_H, in an analogous way to MDH. The reaction is, again, electrostatic in nature, involving carboxyl groups on cytochrome c_L and lysine residues on cytochrome c_H. Competition experiments involving all three proteins indicated that cytochrome c_L possesses a single site that binds either MDH or cytochrome c_H. This is evidence against the `wire-like' theory of electron transfer. Using tuna cytochrome c as a model for cytochrome c_H the residues involved in the EDC/sulpho-NHS cross-link with cytochrome c_L were determined, and were shown to be two of the essential lysine residues involved in the binding of this cytochrome to the reductase and oxidase complexes. A glutamate residue situated close to the haem binding site of cytochrome c_L provides one of the carboxyl groups involved in the cross-link with tuna cytochrome c.</p
Concentration in Knowledge Output: A case of Economics Journals
No full textThis paper assesses the degree of author concentration in seven economics journals, which were published in India during 1990-2002. To measure the degree of author concentration, Lotka's Law was used. Moreover, we also make an exploratory analysis of the geographic, economics subfield and institutional concentration in 704 economics journals. An important finding of this paper is that specialized journals in the sample report the highest degree of author concentration. This result is quite similar to the findings by Cox and Chung (1991). Furthermore, there are several instances showing that the journals lean towards certain norms; this may affect the flow of innovative ideas into economics. We conclude that a knowledge activity, involving the high degree of concentration and a biased publication process, may affect the flow of new ideas into the discipline.Concentration, Lotka's Law
Research data management education for future curators
No full textScience has progressed by “standing on the shoulders of giants” and for centuries research and knowledge have been shared through the publication and dissemination of books, papers and scholarly communications. Moving forward, much of our understanding builds on (large scale) datasets, which have been collected or generated as part of the scientific process of discovery. How will this be made available for future generations? How will we ensure that, once collected or generated, others can stand on the shoulders of the data we produce?Educating students about the challenges and opportunities of data management is a key part of the solution and helps the researchers of the future to start to think about the problems early on in their careers. We have compiled a set of case studies to show the similarities and differences in data between disciplines, and produced a booklet for students containing the case studies and an introduction to the data lifecycle and other data management practices. This has already been used at the University of Southampton within the Faculty of Engineering and is now being adopted centrally for use in other faculties. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the case studies and the guide, and reflect on the reception the guide has had to date
