Our Savior and King: Theology proper in 1 Timothy
No full textIn this dissertation the author seeks to present a holistic theology proper (hereafter, simply "theology") for the first epistle to Timothy, with special regard to the letter's doxologies (King) and divine title, Savior. Chapter 1 identifies the problem, includes a history of research, and describes the method and procedure of the dissertation. The method of inquiry consists of determining the meaning and function of the letter's theology. Thus, the author seeks to understand the background and character of 1 Timothy's theology, while also wishing to discern why the author of 1 Timothy chose to emphasize these peculiar theological themes.
Chapter 2 explores the meaning and function of the theological descriptions found in the doxologies of 1 Timothy 1:17 and 6:15-16. By thorough comparison to Greco-Roman, early Jewish, and OT literature, the author suggests a basically OT-informed view of God. The doxologies depict God as the only Sovereign who rules over all. The writer then determines that the doxologies function as a support and encouragement for Timothy to heed Paul's charge. This conclusion is largely based on the positioning of the doxologies and the macrostructure of the letter.
Chapter 3 examines the meaning and function of the divine epithet Savior. After comparing this term to its occurrences in Greco-Roman, early Jewish, and OT literature, the author again favors an OT background for Savior. This term depicts God as one who mercifully and indiscriminately reconciles sinners who trust in Christ. While also recognizing other functions, the author suggests that God as Savior may have been aimed at the primary implied reader, Timothy, as well. Accordingly, the idea of Savior informs and strengthens Timothy, so that he might continue to labor in presenting the life-giving gospel of God.
Chapter 4 considers every remaining theological description in 1 Timothy, as well as themes that significantly relate to the letter's theology, such as Christology. The author suggests that the entire theology of 1 Timothy either coheres with or supports the predominant ideas of God as King and Savior.
Chapter 5 summarizes the dissertation's findings and concludes with suggested implications for NT studies
Descripción del impacto y los beneficios económicos de las bibliotecas públicas de Florida : resultados y aplicaciones metodológicas para trabajos futuros
No full textEste artículo describe el impacto y los beneficios económicos que generan las bibliotecas públicas de
Florida, indicando que, en general, las bibliotecas públicas contribuyen significativamente al desarrollo
económico del estado. Las bibliotecas reciben financiación pública y pueden ser una de las primeras
instituciones que sufran recortes presupuestarios en tiempos difíciles. La identificación del papel
económico que las bibliotecas desempeñan en las comunidades es crucial para seguir recibiendo una
financiación adecuada, apoyo y para la propia existencia de las bibliotecas. Además, este artículo
analiza algunos de los esfuerzos que se han realizado anteriormente, para determinar el impacto
y los beneficios económicos que se generan en relación con el presupuesto público que recibe la
biblioteca. Partiendo de estos estudios previos, los autores presentan un marco metodológico para
trabajos posteriores, sobre el impacto y los beneficios económicos que generan las bibliotecas públicas
y algunos fines y objetivos para investigaciones futuras. | This article describes the economic impacts and benefits received from public libraries in Florida,
indicating that, overall, public libraries make a significant contribution to the economic development
of the state. Public libraries receive funding from taxpayers and can be one of the first institutions to
experience budget cuts when they occur. Identifying the economic role that libraries play in communities is crucial to the continued funding, support, and existence of libraries. In addition, this article
discusses some of the other efforts that have been undertaken to determine the economic impacts
and benefits received from taxpayer investment. Drawing on these earlier efforts, the authors present
a framework for further study into the economic impacts and benefits received from public libraries,
and present some goals and objectives for future studies

Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
No full textScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact

Dynamic photonic materials based on liquid crystals
No full textLiquid crystals, combining optical non-linearity and self-organizing properties with fluidity, and being responsive to a wide variety of stimuli, have reached a key point in their development for photonic applications, for the realization of devices that could be dynamically reconfigurable, widely tunable and ultra-fast controlled. In this framework, ranging from Holography to Plasmonics, we review our recent efforts on developing a new generation of dynamic, tunable, electro- and all-optical photonic systems. © 2013 Elsevier B.V
