No. 617 Stuart Ruckman
No full textTranscript (12, 40 pages) of two interviews by Matt Driscoll with Stuart Ruckman on April 9, 2010, and July 7, 2011Ruckman (b. 1966) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stuart shares how his family, particularly his father, played a significant role in introducing him to the outdoors. Some of his initial explorations included a hike to the top of Mount Olympus when he was five years old, backpacking trips in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, and a successful summit attempt on the Grand Teton when he was twelve. Stuart discovered technical rock climbing due to the influence of his older brother Bret, five years Stuart\u27s senior. Bret learned under Dennis Turville, a well-respected Salt Lake climbing instructor. Stuart shares his observations on the Salt Lake climbing community of the late 1970s and 1980s, noting the intimacy of the community, while also pointing out the significant influence of a handful of climbers, including Merrill Bitter, Les Ellison, and Brian Smoot. He briefly describes the proliferation of new-route development in the Wasatch during his first decade in climbing. In collaboration with his brother Bret, Stuart published comprehensive guidebooks on climbing in the Wasatch Mountains. Stuart\u27s contributions as a first-ascensionist and co-author of Rock Climbing the Wasatch Range attest to his lasting impact on Utah climbing. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscol

George MacLeod’s open-air preaching: performance and counter-performance
No full textStuart Blythe uses the methodology of performance to analyse George MacLeod’s open-air preaching. He points out that MacLeod’s preaching was derived from a theology of the incarnation, and an understanding of the paradoxes and dichotomies of common human life. This preaching, Blythe suggests, was also a counter-performance in the context of outlooks and ideologies inimical to the gospel. The paper raises interesting issues related to preaching as performance, and the further question as to whether or not the life and work of the Church as a whole might now be better understood as a counter-performance.Publisher PD
Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
Get PDFThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work
If Memory Serves: The effect of mental representations of size on prehension motions
No full textWhile previous studies have shown an effect of familiar size after recent exposure to an object (McIntosh & Lashley, 2008), this study aims to test the effect of object experience and potential mental representations that participants may hold. To do this expert tennis players are compared against non-tennis players. When presented with an oversized tennis ball (Type III) we predict that expert participants with greater prior knowledge of the standard sized tennis ball will significantly under scale and under reach in their prehension movements in comparison to participants who have minimal prior experience. This will be due to stronger mental representations they carry of the tennis ball. A number of kinematic measures were taken during non probe trials in order to predict movement behaviour for the Type III stimulus at probe distances. These predicted values were subtracted from actual values. Group effects on deviations from predicted values in Y axis displacement, peak velocity and maximum grip aperture were found to be non significant. Therefore it is not possible to infer any use of long term size mental representations on action guidance. These findings support those of Marotta & Goodale (2001) in that familiar size has no effect on action when participants have binocular vision available to them. These findings may also support Landy, Maloney, Johnston & Young’s (1995) theory of visual cue weighting, when binocular cues are available the weighting on vergence increases, rather than familiar size information being disregarded completely. It is suggested in future studies that non spherical stimuli are used and that the recent interaction effect found by McIntosh & Lashley (2008) is compared against any long term representations of size. In addition to this, significant differences in speed of motion displayed between expert and control groups could be tested in other action or perceptual-based task
Global trends in psycho-oncology research investments 2016-2020: a content analysis
No full textObjective: an estimated one-third of cancer patients experience a clinically significant psychological disorder, however it is unclear to what extent this is reflected in research funding. To address this a systematic analysis the allocation of psycho-oncology research funding globally between 2016 and 2020 was conducted.Methods: a global dataset of 66,388 cancer research awards, from 2016 to 2020 inclusive and totalling 523m of funding awarded for psychological research across 1122 studies: 2.14% of all cancer research funding during this period (97,473 (IQR 453,051). Within psychological research, mental health received most funding (14 million. By country of funder, the USA provided most investment ($375.5 m, 71.8%).Conclusions: psycho-oncology research received relatively little funding, for example, when compared with pre-clinical cancer research. There needs to be a shift from pre-clinical science to research that benefits cancer patients in the shorter-term. Low- and middle-income countries, and ethnic minorities in higher-income settings, were underrepresented despite having a large cancer burden, indicating inequities that need to be addressed.</p
