Herbert McCabe on God and Humanity
No full textOver the eight hundred years of the English Dominican province, few of its members have matched the rigour and depth of thought of Herbert McCabe. This paper presents a brief overview of McCabe's thought, focusing first on his understanding of God and then on his conception of human beings. Like Thomas before him, McCabe thought it vital to think clearly and correctly about both God and humanity, an effort which in the case of God involves recognising the many ways in which we cannot think of God

Determining orthotropic coefficients from, and thermoelastic stress analysis of, diametrically loaded composite disk
No full textThermoelastic stress analysis measures temperature variations in loaded solids and relates these to associated stresses. For orthotropic materials, the measured signal is proportional to a linear combination of the normal stress changes in the directions of material symmetry, and K1 and K2 are thermo-mechanical coefficients. Quantitative thermoelastic stress analysis of orthotropic composites necessitates (i) determination of the above two thermo-mechanical coefficients (i.e. calibration), and (ii) separation of the stresses. Although calibration procedures can take different forms, K1 and K2 can be experimentally determined most reliably and easily from calibration specimens of the same material, paint coating, loading frequency and ambient conditions as the test structure. Such calibration specimens typically employ a geometry and loading for which the state of stress or strain is known theoretically, or independently determined. Loaded beams, a diametrically-compressed disk, or uniaxial tensile coupons have been used for isotropic materials. Orthotropic materials usually necessitate testing two calibration specimens, with their principal material directions interchanged respectively. The present paper demonstrates the ability to determine both K1 and K2 from a single diametrally-loaded orthotropic composite (graphite/epoxy) disk. To be able to determine both coefficients from a single calibration specimen is advantageous. Disks are also easy to machine and load, rendering them very convenient for calibration
18th and early 19th century industry in Middlesex County
No full textThis presentation by Ruth McCabe tells the story of Middlesex County industry in the 18th and 19th century, drawing from sources such as a pamphlet entitled "New Brunswick and its industries" by A.E. Gordon in 1873. Diverse industries such as rubber and saw mills are discussed
The Standard Model of particle physics in other universes
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the mathematical objects and structures associated with the particle physics in other universes, can be inferred from the mathematical objects and structures associated with the particle physics in our own universe. As such, this paper is a continuation of the research programme announced in McCabe (2004), which implemented this idea in the case of cosmology. The paper begins with an introduction that outlines the structuralist doctrine which this research programme depends upon. Section 2 explains how free elementary particles in our universe correspond to irreducible representations of the double cover of the local space-time symmetry group, and relates the configuration representation to the momentum representation. The difficulties of treating elementary particles in curved space-time, and the Fock space second-quantization are also explained. Section 2.1 explores the particle physics of universes in which the local symmetry group is the entire Poincare group or the isochronous Poincare group. Section 2.2 considers free particles in universes with a different dimension or geometrical signature to our own. Section 3 introduces gauge fields, and, via Derdzinski's interaction bundle approach, explains how connections satisfying the Yang-Mills equations correspond to the irreducible representations for `gauge bosons'. To explore the possible gauge fields, section 3.1 explains the classification of principal G-bundles over 4-manifolds, and section 3.2 expounds the structure theorem of compact Lie groups. Section 3.3 summarises the consequences for classifying gauge fields in other universes, and section 3.4 infers the structures used to represent interacting particles in other universes. The paper concludes in Section 3.5 by explaining the standard model gauge groups and irreducible representations which define interacting particle multiplets, and specifies the possibilities for such multiplets in other universes
Not Crying “Peace” The Theological Politics of Herbert McCabe
No full textHerbert McCabe was, by widespread acclaim, one of the greatest Catholic thinkers in the English speaking world during the final quarter of the last century. He was also deeply committed to radical left‐wing politics. What is the relationship between these two facts? I lay out what I take to be the key themes in McCabe's politics before arguing that, in contrast to significant strands in present day political theology, he had a keen sense of the respective roles of faith and reason in guiding political action. This allowed him to commit himself to a politics which was more radical than much of what has followed him, whilst having a clear sense of how Christian faith ought to be allowed to condition political engagement. The article concludes by drawing out lessons from McCabe for thinking about faith and politics. Not least of these is that we ought to avoid the lure, often articulated in terms of the ‘unifying’ role of the Church, to eschew conflict
Effectiveness of structured patient-clinician communication with a solution focused approach (DIALOG+) in community treatment of patients with psychosis - a cluster randomised controlled trial
No full textBackgroundLarge numbers of patients with psychosis have regular meetings with key clinicians in the community. There is little evidence on how these meetings should be conducted to be therapeutically effective. DIALOG, a computer mediated procedure, was shown to improve outcomes in a European multi-centre trial. DIALOG structures the patient-clinician communication and makes it patient-centred, but does not guide clinicians as to how to respond to patients’ concerns. DIALOG has been further developed into DIALOG+, which uses advanced software and, additionally, provides a four step approach - based on a solution focused model - for addressing patients’ concerns. We designed a cluster randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of DIALOG+ in improving treatment outcomes of patients with psychosis in the community.Methods/designKey workers are recruited from community mental health teams in East London and randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group. Out of their case loads, we identify patients with schizophrenia (F 20–29) and a moderate or lower level of subjective quality of life (MANSA score <5), who are treated according to the allocation of their key workers. Key workers in the intervention group are trained in using DIALOG+ and use it with each patient over a six-month period. Control patients rate their satisfaction with life and treatment on a tablet to control for the effect of regular ratings and the use of modern technology. We are recruiting up to 42 key workers to reach a total sample size of 180 patients. Clinical and social outcomes including costs are assessed after 3, 6 and 12 months. Primary outcome is subjective quality-of-life at 6 months.DiscussionThe trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intervention (DIALOG+) which uses modern technology to support routine patient-clinician meetings in community care, makes the communication patient centred and guides patients and clinicians to address concerns. DIALOG+ is a generic and widely applicable intervention. If shown as effective, it can be used to improve outcomes of community care on a large scale, ensuring that routine encounters are therapeutically effective. DIALOG+ can also be implemented across services at relatively low additional costs
Academic dishonesty in the Middle East: Individual and contextual factors
No full textLittle work has been done on academic dishonesty in the Middle East. This research investigates the nature of the relationship between contextual factors and academic dishonesty using a sample from three private universities in Lebanon, and compares the results to a sample from seven large universities in the US. Using the basic model of McCabe et al. (Research in Higher Education 43(3):357-378, 2002), we found additional evidence for the strong role perception of peers' behavior plays in understanding student decisions concerning academic integrity. Cross cultural comparisons of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding academic dishonesty were pivotal in this research. Our results support the view that Lebanese university students are strongly influenced by the norms of the collectivist society in which they are raised as compared to the more individualistic society found in the United States. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Al-Harthi A.
