'Woe to you, hypocrites!' : law and leaders in The Gospel of Matthew
No full textThis thesis seeks to move beyond the impasse in Matthean scholarship that posits the reason for conflict in Matthew 23 with the authorial community. A framework is developed that allows the possibility that the gospel was received and understood by a widespread, general audience that itself was not necessarily embroiled in conflict. Multiple complementary methods are used to analyze how an ancient audience might expect conflict and work through its development in the narrative. Analysis of comparative biographical literature and of Old Testament references and allusions shows that readers could expect in literature the type and intensity of conflict exhibited in Matthew 23. The gospel's internal narrative development provides unity to the conflict episodes in Matthew 9-23. It also offers rationale for the escalation of conflict for which Matthew 23 is the summary. Chapter One: The Shape of the Discussion surveys representative works including redaction, social scientific, socio-historical, narrative and genre critics, to understand the options for studying conflict in Matthew. Reader-response oriented genre criticism provides language for framing reader expectations. Chapter Two: Expecting Conflict examines expectations that can be associated with Matthew's use of the Old Testament and by comparison with ancient biographies. Chapter Three: The Conflict Builds works systematically through each of the points of contact between Jesus and the leaders of Israel in chapters 9-22 organized by three topics: legal interpretation, the identity and authority of Jesus, and the character of the leaders. Chapter Four: Woe to You takes up the task of examining Matthew 23. The analysis of Matthew 23 identifies three components in the summary of conflict: Jesus presented as the model for his audience, Jesus' final denunciation of the leaders, and the presentation of Jesus as God’s representative. The multi-methodological approach used in this study of Matthew 23 suggests a narrative that invites the reader to rethink how one knows and understands God. The study thereby provides an alternative to the assumption that conflict reflects the immediate experience of a narrowly conceived authorial community

Boulton and Fothergill silver.
No full textPhDThis thesis is about the silver business of Matthew Boulton and John
Fothergill at their Soho Manufactory near Birmingham. Their
partnership lasted from 1762 until 1782.
A rounded discussion of the topic is attempted. Within the contexts
of industry elsewhere and Soho's other activities, successive chapters
cover the early development, marketing, production, design, and later
decline of the partners' silver.
Silver plate was prestigious and, untypically for Boulton, he
concentrated on sales to the public rather than trade customers. To
attract orders he made modest charges. This was viable where mainly
machinery was used to make plate, even though sales were not high,
since the expense of machinery was substantially covered by the larger
sales of non-silver items. However, where Boulton relied to a
greater degree upon hand methods, he lacked technical means to
compensate for low profit-margins. Moreover, inefficiency and the
firm's lack of capital which led to substantial bankers' interest
charges on payment for bullion, particularly when customers paid late,
caused losses. These problems applied particularly to silver plate
and were mainly responsible for the decision to reduce production
drastically; however, the manufacture of a large range of small items
remained relatively consistent.
The thesis includes appendices. Some contain new information about
annual totals for the following aspects of the business: the volume of
assay silver; each type of article; pieces sold on commission; and
sterling silver supplies. Other appendices provide details about the
partners' silversmiths and extracts from a Soho inventory.
This thesis involves a more detailed use of sources than previous
studies of the topic. Apart from the silver itself (which is
selectively illustrated), the Matthew Boulton Papers and statistics
derived from The Birmingham Assay office provide the main sources.
Manuscripts covering silver production elsewhere provide contextual
material for understanding the partners' silver business
The Drivers of Citations in Management Science Journals
No full textThe number of citations is becoming an increasingly popular index for measuring the impact of a scholar’s research or the quality of an academic department. One obvious question is: what are the factors that influence the number of citations that a paper receives? This study investigates the number of citations received by papers published in six well-known management science journals. It considers factors that relate to the author(s), the article itself, and the journal. The results show that the strongest factor is the journal itself; but other factors are also significant including the length of the paper, the number of references, the status of the first author’s institution, and the type of paper, especially if it is a review. Overall, this study provides some insights into the determinants of a paper’s impact that may be helpful for particular stakeholders to make important decisions
