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
Tacit knowledge, learning and expertise in dry stone walling
No full textThis is a detailed study of learning in the context of dry stone walling. It examines
what happens in the learning situation. The aim of this work was:
'To understand the nature of expertise in dry stone walling, how it is understood
by those practising the craft, and how it is transmitted to others'.
The main research questions were, therefore:
What happens when dry stone wallers are learning their craft?
How do they acquire expertise in dry stone walling?
How is this learning communicated?
This process necessitated developing a way of engaging with the practitioners,
eliciting descriptive data about what they were doing, and why they were doing it,
through interviews (or conversations) with both individuals and groups, whilst
they practiced their skill. Twenty three wailers were interviewed as they worked,
building walls.
The material obtained was analysed under seven different themes:
'Knowing how'
The use of tacit knowledge or intuition
'Flow'
Constant decision making, reflection and learning from mistakes
Individual and subjective variations and experiences
The relevance of emotion
The use of 'rules of thumb' or maxims.
Learning walling does not fit simply into any of the seven themes. It is
contextualised, complex and individual. It demonstrates tacit knowledge and
intuition. It involves emotion, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. It involves
memory, problem solving, and learning from mistakes, and reflection. Maxims or
'rules of thumb' were a key element in the learning process at all stages. Linear
stages of learning were not evidenced. Deep understanding of the practice is
evidenced, and the wider learning and teaching implications are explored
Blood and stone on stage: Peter Shaffer's tragic plays /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.O objetivo específico desta tese é analisar quatro peças de autoria de Peter Shaffer-The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Equus, Amadeus e Yonadab-observando o uso de técnicas teatrais e a relação com os princípios da tragédia propostos por Aristóteles na Poética. Elas são então comparadas com três importantes peças gregas-Prometeu Acorrentado, de Ésquilo, Édipo Rei, de Sófocles e Medéia, de Eurípides- uma vez que o objetivo geral do presente trabalho é descobrir se existe tragédia moderna, de que forma ela é apresentada nas peças de Shaffer, e em que ela difere da tragédia grega. Na análise empreendida verifica-se que as peças de Shaffer apresentam muitas afinidades com as tragédias gregas e observam vários dos princípios estabelecidos por Aristóteles. No entanto elas se constituem em exemplares genuínos de tragédia moderna, pois discutem questões sérias atuais e apresentam personagens desafiadoras que enfrentam situações complexas e dilemas éticos e metafísicos. Além disso, as peças de Shaffer apresentam enredos muito bem elaborados, que combinam com habilidade os vários recursos teatrais descritos, e culminam numa experiência envolvente de teatro. No primeiro capítulo o paradigma teórico da tese é apresentado e analisado-os elementos e recursos teatrais e a Poética de Aristóteles-, mostrando como eles são importantes para o estudo do teatro em geral e para a tragédia em particular. No segundo capítulo os vários itens da fundamentação teórica são aplicados às peças gregas selecionadas, mostrando como elas confirmam e como se desviam dos princípios aristotélicos. No terceiro capítulo, o mesmo é feito em relação às peças de Peter Shaffer. No quarto capítulo as peças de Peter Shaffer são comparadas às gregas, mostrando como um dramaturgo moderno, através de narrativas históricas e míticas, recria o drama trágico, usando os vários recursos teatrais disponíveis para transmitir uma perspectiva trágica da vida. A Conclusão é que, considerando as semelhanças e diferenças detectadas entre as peças de Shaffer e as gregas, as peças de Shaffer podem ser consideradas tragédias modernas relevantes, que resgatam uma visão trágica da vida, tão importante para os gregos, num contexto moderno

Kentucky Fighting Men: 1861-1946
No full textKentuckians by the thousands have fought in all of the American wars of the industrial age. Fathers, sons, and brothers from the Bluegrass State spilled each other’s blood in countless Civil War battles and skirmishes. Over the next century their descendants bore arms on the seven seas, the Far Western frontier, in the Caribbean and Philippine islands, and in China. Kentuckians took part in both world wars of the twentieth century in every capacity. Kentucky Fighting Men, 1861–1945 features individual Kentuckians who represent the overall context of the American military experience from the Civil War through World War II. Richard G. Stone, Jr. presents accounts that illuminate the heroism, ennui, tragedy, ghastly horror, absurdity, and the infinite variety of warfare and military life.
Richard G. Stone, Jr., professor of history at Western Kentucky University, is also the author of A Brittle Sword: The Kentucky Militia, 1776–1912.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_military_studies/1005/thumbnail.jp
Susceptibility of Bush Stone-curlews (Burhinus grallarius) to sodium fluoroacetate (1080) poisoning
No full textCopyright © 2007 Royal Australasian Ornithologists UnionAlthough baiting for feral predators with sodium fluoroacetate (1080) benefit native fauna over much of Australia by reducing the abundance of those predators, there is a potential risk of poisoning to non-target species. Bush Stone-curlews (Burhinus grallarius) have declined over much of mainland southern Australia owing to predation by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes), but they have the potential to eat and be affected by 1080 baits. This paper explores the extent to which 1080-baiting programs may have an adverse effect on extant or reintroduced populations of Bush Stone-curlews. Our study used Bush Stone-curlews from a population that was not adapted to naturally occurring 1080, so our results are likely to be relevant throughout the range of the species. We determined the approximate lethal dose (ALD) of 1080 for Bush Stone-curlews to be 10–15 mg kg–1. Thus a Bush Stone-curlew weighing 700 g would need to eat between three and four baits, each containing 3 mg of 1080, to receive an ALD. In unforced trials, the Bush Stone-curlews in our study did not eat (undosed) meat or grain baits. Dying food blue did not deter Bush Stone-curlews from eating it. Thus, sole reliance on blue dyes to deter non-target species from taking baits seems unwise. Our results indicate that reintroduction programs for Bush Stone-curlew are unlikely to be affected by concurrent 1080-baiting for feral animal control.Greg Johnston and Peter McCarth
Relationship between Urolithiasis and Nutrition in Patients with Urinary Stones in Ardabil City
No full textBackground & Objectives: Urolithiasis is the third common urinary disease. While,
relationship between the urinary stones and diet is known to some extent, but there are
controversies about it. The aim of this study was to determine the association between food
habit, nutrients intake and kinds of urinary stone disease.
Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive analytical study was performed on 150 patients
(91 male and 59 females) with urinary stone disease in Ardabil during 2008-2009. Data of
urinary stones analysis, type of stone in the graph, type of stone, preventive emprise and type
of drinking water were recorded. Food data were recorded using 24-hour dietary recalls three
days in week and food frequency questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS, Food
Processor III software, and ANOVA Statistical program.
Results: Findings showed that the most common and lowest form of urinary stone disease in
men and women were calcium oxalate and ammonium phosphate, respectively. There was
significant inverse association between beta-carotene intake and the percentage of uric acid
stone disease (p<0.05). We observed significant relationship between vitamin A and folacin
intake with percentage of uric acid stone disease (p<0.05). There was significant relationship
between consumption of cheese and pickles with calcium phosphate stone disease (p<0.05).
There was no significant association between other foods and nutrients intake with types of
urinary stone disease.
Conclusion: This study showed the consumption of some nutrients including folacin, vitamin
A and some foods such as cheese was associated with the incidence of urinary stone disease.
Therefore, taking accurate diet could possibly prevent the incidence of urinary stone diseases
Generalisations of the theorem of Peter and Weyl
No full textIntroducing some classical concepts in the representation theory of compact groups, we study the historical background of the Fourier Theorem and how this result was used to solve the heat equation. Then we sketch the main steps of the proof of the Fourier Theorem, explaining how it can be interpreted as a special case of a more general argument, which is used in the proof of the Peter-Weyl Theorem. A comparative analysis of different arguments, which have been used to prove the Fourier Theorem and the Peter-Weyl Theorem in the literature, is illustrated in the present thesis. Therefore, we note that some arguments apply to compact connected abelian groups while others can't be applied. Inspecting the details of the proofs, we observe that the use of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem plays a fundamental role, so we discuss the relevance of the Stone-Weiestrass Theorem in the proof of Peter-Weyl Theorem
