Attitudes to religion and the communication of Christian truth
No full textThis study examines the formation and maintenance of young peoples’ attitude to Christianity and seeks to ascertain which are the salient factors, or group of factors, involved in such processes. It was stimulated by the apparent gradient of decline in young people’s active participation in the life of the Church in many parts of Scotland and by the thought that such decline may be due in some measure to young people’s fundamental attitudes to Christianity.
The empirical research, which forms the kernel of the study, was undertaken in 1986 among 6,838 secondary school pupils, aged 11 to 17 years, in non-denominational, denominational and independent schools within the Dundee area. Questionnaires relating to attitudes to religion and science were administered by teachers, mainly from Religious Education departments within the schools. The Francis Attitude towards Christianity Scale (ASC 4B) was used in connection with the attitudes to religion items. The data was analysed by means of the SPSSX statistical package.
Each section of the study investigates available research literature relevant to the topic considered. Chapter 4 looks in detail at the main variables involved in the formation and maintenance of young people’s attitudes to Christianity, viz. Pupils’ sex, age, personal Church attendance and Sunday School attendance, parental Church attendance and parental encouragement, social class differences, peer group influence, type of school attended and attitudes to science. The effects of television viewing on young people’s perceptions, including their perceptions of religion on television, was also considered.
Among the basic conclusions reached by this study are there: - Parental example and encouragement are the most salient elements in the religious socialization of young people. Peer group influence is also shown to be a significant factor in the transmission of young people’s attitudes to Christianity. Pupils’ Church attendance has considerable influence on their attitudes to Christianity and the continuance of these and their attitudes to science are shown to have special importance for their attitudes to religion.
The 13 to 15 year age period merits further and deeper examination. This appears to be a decisive stage in adolescent development, when significant changes occur in young people’s perceptions of religion and in their attitudes to Christianity
Six-proposition manifesto for small Island territories
No full textConventional wisdom suggests that small, often island, states are more likely than larger nations to be hard hit by the effects of national disasters, of fluctuations in the global economy, and the political aspirations of world powers. The structural weaknesses they share have been quantified to create a Vulnerability Index. This paper points to what the author sees as flaws in the concept of vulnerability and its application to the weaknesses of small states. In particular he presents evidence that small developing countries have performed no worse than larger countries. He sets out six propositions which explain this paradox and identifies the comparative advantages that small states hold.peer-reviewe

Manuscript received 6 March 1972; revised 9 March 1973; accepted 1 March 1974
Paper electrophoretic technique was employed for the separation of ous hophenonthrolein and ferrous dipyridyl as wellas anionic complexeses like hexacyanoferrate(II),hexacyanoferrate(M) and ferric-EDTA were taken for electrophoresis. Binary mixtures of these Fe(II) and Fe(III) complexes were separated successfully using 0.0 N H2SO4, 0.05 M disodium salt of BMA, 0.1M lactic acid, 0.131 NH4CI and 0.025M tartaric acid as carrier electrolytes
Terrorism and the law: historical contexts, contemporary dilemmas and the end(s) of democracy
No full textRecent proposals by the G7 (and Russia) to clamp down on "terrorists" and "terrorism" do not define that which is prohibited. Instead, a threat is communicated which in turn allows, among other things, greater attention to be paid officially to "camouflage" charities and "terrorist" use of the Internet . Nevertheless, it is somewhat of a truism to note that terrorist violence is ultimately defined or characterized, for purposes of legal prohibition, within a highly politicized atmosphere. Starting with a short summary of "anti-terrorist" codification efforts made this century, this article examines some of the "security interests" cited by governments today in their respective struggles against "terrorism." More specifically, it is argued that individual perceptions of personal and societal threat are heightened unnecessarily not only by a constant stream of governmental "anti -terrorist" rhetoric , but further, by an awareness of official and un official methods of "anti-terrorist" surveillance, and the use to which the information so obtained can be put

Reperfusjonsbehandling av iskemisk hjerneslag ved OUS - ettårsmateriale
No full textBackground: Apoplexia cerebri, brain stroke, is a common illness that effects 12 000 people in Norway each year and is a main cause of serious dysfunction. Today there are several hospitals with stroke units that specialize in acute treatment of stroke. It is important for the stroke units to monitor the treatment. In this article we describe a group of patients that got reperfusion treatment at Ullevål, OUS. Material and method: The patient material is assembled from the local quality register at the stroke unit at Ullevål and includes all the patients that got reperfusion treatment, either intravenous alteplase or trombectomy, between November 2009 and January 2011. A standard form filled out by personal at the stroke unit included the kind of treatment the patient received, indicators of patient s health and function (i.e. NIHSS and mRs) as well as general information about the patient. Results: The material consisted of 35 patients, 14 (40 %) women and a median age of 68 years. 8 patients (23 %) had a previous stroke or TIA. 26 (74 %) were treated with intravenous alteplase, the rest with trombectomy. 19 patients (54 %) were classified with PACS, 7 (20 %) with TACS, 6 (17 %) with POCS and 3 patients (9 %) with LACS. At arrival to the stroke unit the mean NIHSS-score were 9, 7 after one day and 4 when the patients were discharged. They had a NIHSS-score at 10,9 right before the reperfusion treatment and 8,6 right after. The mean door-to-needle time was 60 minutes. 2 patients (6 %) died (mRs-score 6), 15 (45 %) had a mRs-score of 0-1 on the day of discharge, 6 (18 %) had mRs-score 2-3 and 10 (30 %) a mRs-score of 4-5. Discussion: The patient material is small (n=35) and only one of our analysis got a statistic significant p-value. The results cannot be generalized to the general stroke population. The two patients that died were both over the age of 77, they both had poor effect of the reperfusion treatment and they were both classified with TACS. The stroke unit at Ullevål could benefit of having a more complete register and include more variables such as complications due to the treatment. It would be useful to investigate a bigger patient material and evaluate the results at Ullevål compared to international studies
