A call for continuity: the theological contribution of James Orr
No full textJames Orr (1844-1913) was a Scottish theologian, apologist
and polemicist. He was the leading United Presbyterian theologian
at the time of the United Free Church of Scotland union of 1900, and
beyond his own church and nation he came to exercise a significant
influence in North America. This study is an examination of Orris
theological contribution, what he believed and how he expressed it,
in its historical setting Particular attention is paid to the
convictions which undergirded and gave impetus to his activities.
The study reveals that while Orr was far from unaffected by
the intellectual movements of the late-Victorian period, his contribution
may best be described as a call for continuity with the central tenets
of evangelical orthodoxy. He was one of the earliest and principal
British critics of the Ritschlian theology, and a strong opponent
of rationalistic biblical criticism. He emphatically rejected all
evolutionary interpretations of man's moral history, and held firmly
to orthodox Christological formulations in the face of alternative
assessments of the historical Jesus.
While factors of temperament affected the tenor of his work,
his contribution was most decisively shaped by the convictions that
evangelical orthodoxy is ultimately self-authenticating, that truth
comprises a unity or interconnected whole, that genuine Christian
belief implies a two-story supernaturalist cosmology, and that the
rationalism of the times was a temporary malaise.
A general lack of support for his views within the scholarly
community, combined with his own deep-seated populist instincts and
common sense convictions, led Orr in later years to direct his
appeals primarily toward the Christian public. The conclusion reached
is that Orr deserves to be recognized, not so much as a brilliant or
particularly original thinker, but as an able and exceptionally
vigorous participant in a period of dramatic theological challenge
and change

Eigenvalue enclosures and exclosures for non-self-adjoint problems in hydrodynamics
No full textIn this paper we present computer-assisted proofs of a number of results in theoretical fluid dynamics and in quantum mechanics. An algorithm based on interval arithmetic yields provably correct eigenvalue enclosures and exclosures for non-self-adjoint boundary eigenvalue problems, the eigenvalues of which are highly sensitive to perturbations. We apply the algorithm to: the Orr-Sommerfeld equation with Poiseuille profile to prove the existence of an eigenvalue in the classically unstable region for Reynolds number R=5772.221818; the Orr-Sommerfeld equation with Couette profile to prove upper bounds for the imaginary parts of all eigenvalues for fixed R and wave number α; the problem of natural oscillations of an incompressible inviscid fluid in the neighbourhood of an elliptical flow to obtain information about the unstable part of the spectrum off the imaginary axis; Squire's problem from hydrodynamics; and resonances of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators
Dr. Madeleine Orr: How Climate Change Is Reshaping Sport
No full textRuntime 35:33In this episode of Tucker Center Talks, Dr. Nicole M. LaVoi talks with sport ecologist and author Dr. Madeleine Orr—founder of the Sport Ecology Group (https://www.sportecology.org/) and lead author of the UN’s Sport for Nature report (https://www.unep.org/resources/publication/sports-nature-setting-baseline-handbook) — about how sport is both impacted by and contributing to climate change. They discuss the science behind sport disruptions, the limits of current adaptation strategies, and why reimagining major sporting events is key to meaningful climate action across all levels of sport. Topics Covered: How climate change is already disrupting youth, collegiate, and pro sport; the difference between greenwashing and genuine climate adaptation in sport; and why it's time to rethink how, when, and where major sporting events are held.LaVoi, Nicole M.; Orr, Madeleine.

Associations of insulin and insulin-like growth factors with physical performance in old age in the boyd orr and caerphilly studies.
No full textOBJECTIVE: Insulin and the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system regulate growth and are involved in determining muscle mass, strength and body composition. We hypothesised that IGF-I and IGF-II are associated with improved, and insulin with worse, physical performance in old age. METHODS: Physical performance was measured using the get-up and go timed walk and flamingo balance test at 63-86 years. We examined prospective associations of insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II and IGFBP-3 with physical performance in the UK-based Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS; n?=?739 men); and cross-sectional insulin, IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3 in the Boyd Orr cohort (n?=?182 men, 223 women). RESULTS: In confounder-adjusted models, there was some evidence in CaPS that a standard deviation (SD) increase in IGF-I was associated with 1.5% faster get-up and go test times (95% CI: -0.2%, 3.2%; p?=?0.08), but little association with poor balance, 19 years later. Coefficients in Boyd Orr were in the same direction as CaPS, but consistent with chance. Higher levels of insulin were weakly associated with worse physical performance (CaPS and Boyd Orr combined: get-up and go time?=?1.3% slower per SD log-transformed insulin; 95% CI: 0.0%, 2.7%; p?=?0.07; OR poor balance 1.13; 95% CI; 0.98, 1.29; p?=?0.08), although associations were attenuated after controlling for body mass index (BMI) and co-morbidities. In Boyd Orr, a one SD increase in IGFBP-2 was associated with 2.6% slower get-up and go times (95% CI: 0.4%, 4.8% slower; p?=?0.02), but this was only seen when controlling for BMI and co-morbidities. There was no consistent evidence of associations of IGF-II, or IGFBP-3 with physical performance. CONCLUSIONS: There was some evidence that high IGF-I and low insulin levels in middle-age were associated with improved physical performance in old age, but estimates were imprecise. Larger cohorts are required to confirm or refute the findings
The stuff of translation and independent female scientific authorship: the case of "Taxidermy..." anon. (1820)
No full textThe anonymous Taxidermy: or the Art of Collecting, Preparing and Mounting Objects of Natural History. For the Use of Museums and Travellers was first published by Longman in 1820. Due to its immediate success as an authority, it went through four revised reprints in 1821, 1823, 1829 and 1835 (still anonymously), before a much expanded sixth edition appeared in 1843. This included an “advertisement” for the first time, unequivocally to establish the author as Mrs R. Lee (1791-1856). [... ...] Historical and sociological research very convincingly explains the presence (or absence) of women in science in the early-to-mid nineteenth century through the many exclusions and obstacles that they faced. [... ...] By framing women’s knowledge in science within the discourses of socio-political exclusion and exception, historical and sociological research (in all periods) too frequently overlooks women’s multi-lingual proficiency, and this as the vehicle allowing them direct access to primary spaces for their own independent contributions
