Towards a secularised - transcendental style in film
No full text© 2018 Peter T. NathanTowards a secularised - transcendental style in film is a practice-led research investigation that interrogates a religious style of filmmaking known as the transcendental style in film in order to determine what it has to offer for a secular, contemporary filmmaker. Taking American author and filmmaker, Paul Schrader’s (1946 -) book titled, Transcendental Style in Film (1972) as the primary source, this enquiry begins with the unpacking of Schrader’s theory, as it pertains to the work of French director Robert Bresson (1901-1999). Aspects of complementary theories, including parametric narrative as proposed by American film theorist, David Bordwell (1947-), and French philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s (1925-1995) theory of time-image are then drawn upon to help facilitate a new, non-religious perspective of the transcendental style in film. The resulting thesis is applied to the development, production and post-production stages of a short absurd-fantasy film, The Dream of the Songstress (Nathan 2018)
Jesus Remembered in 1 Peter? Early Jesus Traditions, Isaiah 53, and 1 Pet 2.21-25
No full textThis is the accepted version of the chapter. Please cite the published version which is available via http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/james-1-2-peter-and-early-jesus-traditions-9780567420534.First presented as a paper at SBL, this chapter argues that 1 Pet 2.21-25 reflects knowledge of various traditions concerning Jesus' trial, suffering, and death, though the lack of specific verbal overlaps does not indicate literary dependence on the Synoptic Passion Narratives. Through the extensive use of Isa 53, the author in effect "scripturalizes" the Passion narrative in ways that would, of course, prove highly influential and significant
Effective nutrition support for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Managing malnutrition in primary care
No full textGPs can help to identify patients with COPD who are at risk of malnutrition (for example, during routine reviews and when managing acute exacerbations). Screening and subsequent identification of at-risk patients should prompt early intervention when patients are more stable and more likely to respond to any nutrition support provided

Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

Measurement of nitric oxide levels in the red cell: validation of tri-iodide-based chemiluminescence with acid-sulfanilamide pretreatment
No full textThe tri-iodide-based chemiluminescence assay is the most widely used methodology for the detection of S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) in biological samples. Because of the low RSNO levels detected in a number of biological compartments using this assay, criticism has been raised that this method underestimates the true values in biological samples. This claim is based on the beliefs that (i) acidified sulfanilamide pretreatment, required to remove nitrite, leads to RSNO degradation and (ii) that there is auto-capture of released NO by heme in the reaction vessel. Because our laboratories have used this assay extensively without ever encountering evidence that corroborated these claims, we sought to experimentally address these issues using several independent techniques. We find that RSNOs of glutathione, cysteine, albumin, and hemoglobin are stable in acidified sulfanilamide as determined by the tri-iodide method, copper/cysteine assay, Griess-Saville assay and spectrophotometric analysis. Quantitatively there was no difference in S-nitroso-hemoglobin (SNOHb) or S-nitroso-albumin (SNOAlb) using the tri-iodide method and a recently described modified assay using a ferricyanide-enhanced reaction mix at biologically relevant NO:heme ratios. Levels of SNOHb detected in human blood ranged from 20-100 nM with no arterial-venous gradient. We further find that 90% of the total NO-related signal in blood is caused by erythrocytic nitrite, which may partly be bound to hemoglobin. We conclude that all claims made thus far that the tri-iodide assay underestimates RSNO levels are unsubstantiated and that this assay remains the "gold standard" for sensitive and specific measurement of RSNOs in biological matrices
