Dorothy L Sayers: creative mind and the holy trinity
No full textHuman beings have no language with which to speak about God and their experiences of God except that language which they also use of themselves and of their experiences of each other. The doctrine of the Trinity points to the presence and action of God in the world through Jesus Christ. The search for human analogies with the doctrine of the Trinity has occupied the minds and hearts of theologians and philosophers since earliest Christian times. Many of the attempts made to provide a paradigm by which the Holy Trinity might best be articulated in human thinking have fallen short of the ideals at which they aimed. As a result, there is a paucity of material from which the teacher of theology may draw in explicating this apparently most complicated of doctrines. While the search was confined to the field of pure theology, it seemed fruitless. Dorothy L Sayers, a writer of detective novels, engaged in that search almost by accident as she moved from detective fiction to religious drama in the second phase of her writing career. By using her own experience of creative activity, she saw a striking resemblance between the creative activity of God and that of God's creatures. That this activity possessed a threefold structure allowed Sayers to discern a human analogy with the doctrine of the Trinity which would serve where others had failed. Her thinking was set out in her book The Mind of the Maker in 1941. However, her achievement in this volume has largely been ignored. It is time for a re-appraisal of that achievement in order both to re-present it to those engaged in theological deliberations now and to investigate how it was received in its own day and why it may have been overlooked hitherto

Where we're going, we don't need roads: The past, present and future of impact
No full textSociolinguistic Research: Application and Impact provides a unique overview of international research projects, showcasing their positive outcomes and offering critical insights and constructive critiques into the meaning of 'impact' in contemporary research. The book includes: original findings from cutting-edge research from scholars such as Mary Bucholtz, Walt Wolfram and Peter Patrick; coverage of organisational contexts including education, government, justice, heritage, and the workplace; activities including after-school programmes, workplace training courses, social media campaigns, and video productions; application of research to professional practice including teaching (primary school to university), adjudication, police interviewing, and governmental policymaking; contributors' personal reflections on the research process and its outcomes, including constructive critiques of institutional definitions of impact. With chapters spanning research across five continents, Sociolinguistic Research: Application and Impact is essential reading for sociolinguistic researchers, students embarking on sociolinguistic research, and anyone interested in the practical application of research on language and society. © 2016 selection and editorial matter, Robert Lawson and Dave Sayers; individual chapters, the contributors.

Das Drama 'The Emperor Constantine' von Dorothy L. Sayers
No full textDas letzte Drama von D. L. Sayers ist ihr bestes. Es spielt von 305 bis 337 und bewegt sich vom äußersten Westen bis zum äußersten Osten des Römischen Reiches, das Konstantin vereinigte. Die Hauptereignisse sind: der Sieg an der Milvischen Brücke, der die Wende einleitete: die Kirche wird nicht mehr verfolgt, sondern privilegiert; das Konzil von Nizäa: die Kirche klärt gegen Arius ihre Lehre von Christus. Sayers verschweigt nicht die Fehler und Verbrechen Konstantins und stellt die immer noch aktuelle Problematik des Verhältnisses von Staat und Kirche, von Macht und Glaube dar. Der Artikel untersucht Entstehung, Rezeption, Quellen, Kontextualität und Kunstmittel des spannenden, amüsanten und nachdenklich machenden Werks.Sayers's last dramatic work is her best. The action covers the time from 305 to 307; the scene moves without pause from Britain to Gaul, to Rome, to the Balcans, to Egypt, to Byzantium, to Nicomedia. The main events are the victory by the Milvian Bridge, the emergence of the Church from the status of a persecuted minority to a privileged and influential body, and the Council of Nicaea where the Church defined her doctrine of Christ. The shortcomings and crimes of Constantine are not ignored by Sayers, the relations between State and Church, Power and Faith - problems still disputed - are discussed. In this article genesis, reception, sources, intertextuality, technical skill and craftsmanship of this thrilling, amusing and thought-provoking play are discussed
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Site-specific symmetry sensitivity of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in layered palladium diselenide
No full textTwo-dimensional (2D) materials with puckered layer morphology are promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronics devices owing to their anisotropic response to external perturbations and wide band gap tunability with the number of layers. Among them, palladium diselenide (PdSe2) is an emerging 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide, with a band gap ranging from ∼ 1.3 eV in the monolayer to a predicted semimetallic behaviour in the bulk. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to explore the electronic band structure of PdSe2 with energy and momentum resolution. Our measurements reveal the semiconducting nature of the bulk. Furthermore, constant binding-energy maps of reciprocal space display a remarkable site-specific sensitivity to the atomic arrangement and its symmetry. Supported by density functional theory calculations, we ascribe this effect to the inherent orbital character of the electronic band structure. These results not only provide a deeper understanding of the electronic configuration of PdSe2, but also establish additional capabilities of photoemission spectroscopy
