title: "Subject to Calumny": A Defence of Jonson's Theatricality

contributor:
Ostovich, Helen
English

abstract: Traditional criticism of Ben Jonson's relationship to his audience emphasizes the animosity that Jonson feels towards spectators who are unable to perceive his intentions correctly. Even sympathetic interpretations conclude that Jonson is at odds with his audience and disenchanted with the theatre. In forming this conclusion critics assume that Jonson's personal attitudes concur with the direct address to and sniping at the on-stage and off-stage audiences in his dramas. They find further support by decontextualizing specific instances of Jonson's complaints in his poetry and prose writings as a means to interpret the entire body of his work. This "antitheatricality" has become axiomatic to the majority of Jonsonian criticism since the eighteenth century. In this project, I examine this tradition of criticism to point out the flawed assumptions on which it is based. Informed by the practises of performance theory, I reexamine both Jonson's attitude toward the stage itself as a medium of expression and the nature of his relationship to the audience. Examining Every Man Out of His Humour, The Staple of News and The Magnetic Lady as performances, I find these comedies illustrate neither an antagonism for the audience nor the antitheatricalism of which Jonson has been accused. Instead, they demonstrate a dynamic relationship between auditor and performance, a reliance upon the physical theatre as a site of interpretation and Jonson's commitment to this medium.

title: In the Interest of Privacy, Some Names Have Been Changed: Rewriting and Richardson's Pamela

contributor:
Walmsley, Peter
English

abstract: [missing page 37]

abstract:
This study examines the issue of rewriting, its impact on Samuel Richardson's editorial and writing practice and the implications this practice has had for women. Using Richardson's 1741 novel, Pamela, as the example, the study focuses in its first chapter on the circumstances surrounding Richardson's creation of a sequel (Pamela II) to the enormously successful two-volume Pamela I.

In Chapter two, three rape scenes are closely read for the ways in which they are rewritten or retold by various characters and across the gap between "original" version and sequel. The pattern which emerges is one of increasing editorial control of Pamela's writing by her husband. Pamela is also shown to be complicit in this rewriting process.

In Chapter three, the author of this study enters into the rewriting process herself in order to explore the relationship between circumscribed women's roles in the Eighteenth Century and the situation for women today. This issue is explored through the use of feminist and psychoanalytic theory as well as contemporary media imagery.

title: Electron Spin Resonance Studies of Reactions Involving Metal Ions and Free Radicals

contributor:
Eaton, D. R.
Chemistry

subject: Chemistry Chemistry

abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the application of Electron Spin Resonance to several problems of primarily inorganic interest. In each case the system examined contains both free radicals and metal ions or complexes and ESR has been used to probe the chemistry involved.

An introductory chapter reviews the literature which is pertinent to the research. This is followed by discussion of those parts of ESR theory which are required to evaluate the results and by a description of the experimental aspects of the work.

Chapter IV presents the results of a study of the synthesis and reactions of some "spin-labelled ligands". Such compounds are defined as molecules with two functional groups, one of which provides a Lewis base site suitable for complexing to a metal and other comprises a group bearing an unpaired electron. The ESR spectra obtained when these ligands are complexed to metal ions have been shown to provide information on the relative electron accepting power of the metal ions and, in some cases, on the rates of very rapid ligand exchange reactions.

It was found that when some of these spin-labelled ligands interact with very strong Lewis acids, such as BF₃ and AlCl₃, new ESR spectra appeared. These spectra have been assigned to products arising from rearrangements of alkyl groups on the spin-labelled ligand. The chemistry of these processes is discussed in Chapter V.

Chapter VI is concerned with the photochemistry of metal acetates. The electron accepting or donating abilities of metal ions in electronically excited states will be different from those of corresponding ions in their ground states. In some cases, electron transfer to or from associated ligands can lead to the formation of free radicals. Such processes have been investigated for wide variety of metal acetates. The radicals produced have been identified by means of the ESR spectra observed in frozen solutions.

Finally, Chapter VII reports an investigation of certain satellite lines observed in association with methyl radical ESR spectra obtained by irradiating metal acetates. These satellites have been assigned to double quantum transitions arising from the simultaneous flip of the electron spin and the nuclear spin of a proton on a neighbouring solvent molecule. Measurement of the relative intensities of the satellites and the main lines provides information on the environment of methyl radicals in an ice matrix. Data on the variation with temperature of the average methyl radical-solvent molecule distance of separation is presented.

title: The Recipient's Reactions in Helping Situations

contributor:
Carment, D.W.
Psychology

subject: Psychology Psychology

abstract:
The recipient of aid has, until recently, been given scant attention by researchers. In view of the paucity of recipient-related-literature, the present research investigated a number of situational determinants of response to aid. Six experiments, one using a task-performance setting and the others using a choice-setting involving the Altruism matrix, were reported.

The following paradigm was adopted: in a prior situation, the potential recipient was offered help of varying magnitude, usually by a confederate, along with a manipulation of the relevant independent variable. The recipient's reactions were observed. In a subsequent situation, donor-recipient roles were reversed, and the behaviour of the potential donor (former recipient) was observed.

Results from the present research indicate that, in settings like the one used here, subjects who receive prior help are more likely to give later help than subjects who receive no prior help. However, the likelihood of later help is reduced if the former donor subsequent communicates even an indirect need for help.

Given that a donor offers help independently of the recipient's responses, potential recipients accept more help if they anticipate a later opportunity to return it than if they are unaware of such an opportunity. When the later opportunity arises, they return more help if they had expected it than if they had not expected it. Recipients also accept, and subsequently return more help when the donor offers a large amount of help than when he offers a small amount of help. When the donor states an intention to give a specific amount of help, and then carries out or does not carry out this intention, the recipient's acceptance tends to be in accordance with the stated intention while the subsequent amount of help returned tends to be in accordance with the amount of help actually received from the donor in the prior situation. When the donor states this intention along with or without a condition, the recipient tends to accept more help generally in the 'conditional' situation than in the 'unconditional' situation, but subsequenlty returns more help in the latter than in the former condition.

It is also observed that with a person of the same sex males accept and later return more help than females.

These findings can be interpreted in terms of the reciprocity norm, equity, indebtedness, psychological reactance, and possibly a perception of the donor's willingness or reluctance to offer help. The sex differences obtained here can be explained in terms of possible motivational differences between males and females in the situation.

In addition to providing evidence on some factors that have been found to effect recipient reactions, the present research makes at least two contributions to the field. First, it makes a methodological contribution by demonstrating that a choice-setting with the appropriate reward structure can be utilized to study the recipient of help. The Altruism matrix employed in this research is a useful alternative to the task-performance setting conventionally used in the field of helping behaviour. Secondly, this research reveals a consistency between behaviour in various settings. The recipient reactions (for example, reciprocation) obtained with the Altruism matrix are mostly in agreement with findings from other task-performance studies, as well with findings from a number of choice-setting studies that are traditionally used for the study of cooperation and competition. Broadly, this points to a common thread of social-exchange principles running through these settings.

With the availability of more information on the recipient, it would eventually become possible to formulate general principles regarding reactions to help, and to apply such principles, where feasible, to social and international aid programs.

subject: Business Administration, Management, and Operations

abstract: In today's retail environment, there are many consumer packaged goods (CPG) in the same category with various brands and differential products under the same brand. These differential products appear in different dimension sizes, display facing areas, purchasing costs and selling prices which are competing for a limited space in retail store shelves. Product assortment and space allocation of the chosen products to a limited shelf space is becoming more and more important for retailers. In this thesis we critically review the existing literature of shelf space allocation optimization models and solution techniques. We then propose a comprehensive model for shelf space allocation for a product category. Products are allocated to a two-dimensional area of a shelf section where a shelf section consists of multilevel vertical shelves. We account for adjustable shelf heights and product and brand integrity in a shelf section. Unlike the existing optimization models in the literature, we model our demand not only as a function of the space allocated to a product, in terms of the number of display facings, but also as a function of vertical product location in a shelf section and price sensitivity. Stackability of the products is also considered and products can be stacked depending on their package. Our objective is to maximize the retailer's daily gross profit. We numerically show that incorporating price changes and adjustable shelf spaces can have major impacts on the retailers' profit. Finally, we provide directions and suggestions for future research in this growing area of research.

title: Canadian Baptists at Worship

contributor:
P., Rev. Michael
Divinity College

subject: Religion Religion

abstract:
This thesis aims to study the current state of Canadian Baptist congregational worship as it is being expressed within The Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec (BCOQ). Following a brief definition of Baptist congregational worship, this study undertook an historical overview of eighteenth and nineteenth century influences on Baptist worship in Upper and Lower Canada. These influences included the English Particular Baptists, the American Regular Baptists, the American Frontier Revivalists, and the Scottish Baptists. This was followed by a survey of twentieth century influences which included the Post-Revivalist tradition, the Formal Evangelical tradition, the Liturgical Renewal Movement, the contemporary Praise-and-Worship Movement, the Church Growth Movement, and Robert Webber's Convergence (Blended) worship style.

This historical overview was then followed by an analysis of current BCOQ worship practices based on the results of an eight-page questionnaire mailed out to the senior pastors of all 387 churches within the BCOQ. A total of 211 completed questionnaires were returned representing a response rate of 54.5% which was fairly distributed across the 19 BCOQ associations, as well as across various membership sizes. On the bases of the questionnaire data, eight different styles of worship were identified: Post-Revivalist (22% of all worship services), Formal Evangelical (17%), Semi-Liturgical (5%), Chinese Baptist (4%), Praise-and-Worship (10%), Composite (Blended) (25%), Convergence (Blended) (8%), and Informal Interactive (2%). Furthermore, it was concluded that historically, Baptists in Ontario and Quebec were less influenced by the Frontier Revivalist style than their Baptist peers in the Maritimes and the Southern United States. It was also hypothesized on the bases of the questionnaire data that, in the years ahead, one can expect to find within the churches of the BCOQ a growing emphasis on a style of congregational worship that seeks a collective, theocentric, seeker-sensitive worship experience that can be shared by believers and seekers alike. As well, preaching will continue to hold a central place in BCOQ worship services, regardless of style. Finally, it is anticipated that Robert Webber's Convergence approach which seeks to blend liturgical and charismatic styles will find growing support among BCOQ pastors and congregations as they come to embrace innovative and new forms of worship while rediscovering the rich heritage of past liturgical traditions.

title: Culture and the Abstract Inividual: An Analysis of Will Kymlicka's Defense of Minority Rights

subject: Philosophy Philosophy

abstract: In this thesis I examine will Kymlicka' s argument in defense of minority rights within a liberal society. In the first chapter, I outline the basic tenets of his argument and extract some of the issues that prove especially problematic in later chapters. In the second chapter, I examine in depth Kyrnlicka's distinction between a culture's character and its structure. It is argued that this distinction cannot be sustained upon closer examination. I conclude the chapter, however, by suggesting that this distinction may not even be necessary to defend minority rights within a liberal framework. The third chapter of this thesis deals with the issue of moral agency. I make some distinctions within the notion of moral agency and suggest that a thick view of agency is compatible with the liberal principle of revisability. After an examination of the argument in which Kyrnlicka presents his criteria for determining which cultural communities are to be protected, I conclude that his criteria would be incompatible with revisability. In other words, I argue that the attempt to enhance the conditions for moral agency may result in undermining it.

title: Gorbachev and the Trials of Perestroika

subject: Politics Politics

abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature and significance of economic perestroika during Mikhail Gorbachev's rule from 1985 to 1991. In particular, the focus is upon the importance of Gorbachev's role as leader in the process of reform, upon how he approached the Soviet state of systemic crisis, and, in broader terms, upon the nature of the debate concerning economic reform. It is argued that, in the wake of the attempted coup d'etat, the downfall of economic perestroika -- and, indeed, the downfall of the empire and of Gorbachev himself -- was the result of an intensifying state of economic, political, social, ideological, and nationalistic crises, crises which Gorbachev could neither stem nor mitigate. His vision of economic transformation, framed by his continued dedication to Marxism-Leninism and motivated by his enduring commitment to revitalize Soviet socialism and the Soviet state, is examined from the perspective of its three distinct, yet interrelated, elements: first, the process of de-Stalinization; second, the process of de-Brezhnevization; and third, the formulation of a new socialist economic model. Within this context, emphasis is placed upon Gorbachev's understanding of the interdependence between economics and politics or, more precisely, his intention to have political reform serve an economic function. Furthermore, particular attention is paid to the significance which Gorbachev accorded to the leading role of the Communist Party in both the process of reform and, more generally, the building of Soviet socialism. In order to consider the 'environment' which surrounded the formulation of Gorbachev's vision of economic transformation, the nature of the debate concerning economic reform is examined, specifically with a focus upon the post- 1988 period. There are two reasons for this focus: first, it marked the official drive toward systemic change; and second, it marked the emergence of far-reaching political conflict among elites regarding the nature, scope, and direction of economic transformation.

In the first, the English mummer's plays of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are analyzed on an anthropological model in order to determine the symbolic functions of the man-dressed-as-woman. In the second, the historical development of the Maid Marian character of the Robin Hood legend highlights the differences between folk drama and the legitimate stage. The ideas of Mikhail Bahktin provide the link in these materials.

abstract: In Chapter 1, we introduce the idea of an Agent-based model(ABM) and review some of the programming concepts that facilitate their implementation. We also discuss how ABMs may offer some help to macro model builders in getting around three key challenges: rich microfoundations, the aggregation problem and agent decision-making. In Chapter 2, we endeavour to develop a fuller understanding of a decentralized price system through the use of ABMs. We review two models in the literature to investigate how decentralized price systems have been incorporated into more elaborate setups. Appealing to the need for simplicity, we construct ABMs to examine the convergence properties of two models that appear in the disequilibrium literature: the Edgeworth model and the Hahn-Fisher model. The Edgeworth model illustrates the need to think more carefully about path-dependence. The implementation of the Hahn-Fisher model raises a question about the convergence properties of this process.

title: "A Dappled Thing"--The "Outward" and "Inward" Service of Gerard Manley Hopkins.

contributor:
John, Brian
English

abstract: In retreat notes made six months prior to his death, Gerard Manley Hopkins referred to his "outward" and "inward" service. Hopkins' "outward" service as a Jesuit was the visible manifestation of his "inward" one which he considered to be "more important." This thesis investigates the nature of those two services and defines Hopkins' "inward" service as the development of the poet's Christian Gnosticism, the basis for his mythopoesis. Although this hypothesis has already been forwarded, new information has emerged to strengthen the theory. Gnostic manuscripts discovered in the eighteenth century were subsequently made available to British scholars in 1848 and in 1851. Various aspects of his poetry strongly suggest that Hopkins incorporated material from these manuscripts into his writing. Thus, Hopkins' Christian Gnostic sources are wider than previously supposed. It will be demonstrated that all aspects of Hopkins' mythopoesis lend themselves to the development of gnosis. Sources for the poet's imagery are drawn from over two thousand years of Christian gnostic sources. This establishes a very real sense of tradition within Hopkins' mythopoesis. Inscapes of Christ as Alpha and Omega permeate the poetry and the process of enlightenment whereby one perceives these is vigorously depicted. The sequential phases in the developing personal relationship of the Gnostic to his creator-Redeemer constitute the ongoing strain in Hopkins' mythopoesis. In this strain he reveals a theology which presages the current trends in twentieth-century theology. The poetry's dynamic energies and movement patterns reveal the means by which Hopkins compels the reader to participate in the process of increasing enlightenment. In its features which combine tradition, revelation, and instruction, Hopkins' mythopoesis constitutes, in effect, new scripture.

title: Parenthetical Discourse Within and Without Alice's Adventures in Wonder land

contributor:
Clark, David
English

abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the notion of parenthetical discourse, which I here define as the discourse excluded fran contributing to the unity of a text. The three main exanples of parenthetical discourse that I examine are the parenthesis, the pseudonym, and the appended letter, all of which I find in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. To supplenent my reading, I turn to the texts of Jacques Derrida, the poststructuralist thinker whose concept of the p:lrergon--the frame around an ergon or work--provides me with a theoretical rrodel for understanding the relation between p:lrenthetical discourse and the text proper. Generally regarded as subordinate and exterior to the literary work, p:lrenthetical discourse nevertheless is a necessary condition of all literature in that it defines what literature is not and, in doing so, defines what literature is. Parenthetical discourse is the repressed difference or opposition against which a literary work forms its boundaries.

And yet I also discover that the p:lrenthetical devices in Alice in Wonderland occupy ether FOsitions with regard to the text, positions which displace their status as extra-textual. They may be said to rest not only on the border between literature and the outside, but also inside that actual border. Hence, the p:lrenthetical is just as nuch a p:lrt of the text as the narrative; the an:ended letter, the pseudonym, and the parenthesis mirror the text proper by throwing into relief the difficulty in dete~ning the nature of genres, as if both the inside and the outside were themselves unsure of what constitutes the inside and the outside. In the end, my examination corroborates Derrida's claim that there is a concept of the frame, but no actual frames--s~ly because the frame itself puts into question the whole notion of a stable center surrounded by fixed margins.

title: First Principles and Doctrines in the Novels of Charles Dickens.

contributor:
Petrie, Graham
English

abstract:
The thesis is that Charles Dickens proposes principles so fundamental that they become an artistically essential reference in his novels. This metaphysics, consisting of first principles and doctrines on Nature, Christian Theology, Good and Evil, Appearance and Reality, among others, is established mainly in the early novels, almost always quite explicitly and with great emphasis. Despite this emphasis the role of the metaphysics is to be a useful reference in the artistic background.

Beginning with David Copperfield, the metaphysics becomes imbedded in the artistic foreground. The original metaphysics is never renounced, but Dickens treats it quite differently.

The thesis attempts to catalog these first principles and doctrines, establish that they are a vital element in Dickens' narratives, and demonstrate how the novelist's art and metaphysics are organically linked. Four early and five later novels by Dickens form the thesis' purview.

subject: Chemistry Chemistry

abstract:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been applied to a number of problems in natural products chemistry and biochemistry.

Natural abundance ¹³C NMR spectra was used to differentiate the relative stereochemistry of several naturally occurring diastereomers in the phthalideisoquinoline, protoberberine and spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids. The data acquired from this study aided the structural elucidation of 10-oxocancentrine which is a new compound in the cularine-morphine dimer group of alkaloids.

In order to assess the factors which influence the conformation and base stacking of a dinucleotide, an NMR investigation of the diastereomers of 2'-0-tetrahydropyranyluridylyl[3'-phenyl-5'] and [3'-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-5']2'-0-tetrahydropyranyluridine was undertaken. The steric effect of large substituents on the ribose 2' oxygen was found to be the dominant factor. In addition there is an indication of a stacking interaction between the phenyl ester group and the 5' uracil ring.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance was utilized to probe the factors which affect the helix-coil transition of several synthetic oligoribonucleotides. The complementary tetranucleotides GpApGpC:GpCpUpC were examined to confirm the correlation between the duplex melting temperature (Tm) obtained by NMR and that from the extrapolation of the UV data. This was also the first ¹H NMR study of a non-self-complementary duplex formed by synthetic tetraribonucleotides. The self-complementary sequences CpApUpG, CpApUpGpU and CpApUpGpA were examined to investigate the effect of unpaired terminal dangling bases on duplex stability. From the Tm of 24 ±1°C for CpApUpG, the dangling U in CpApUpGpU causes an increase of +5.5°C and the dangling A in CpApUpGpA causes an increase of +11°C. A dangling U is similar in effectiveness at stabilizing a short duplex as an internal A U hydrogen bonded base pair, while a dangling A is more effective. This work represents the first attempt to quantify the effect of a dangling base on ribonucleotide double helix formation.

title: "Betwixt this World and that of Grace": Calvinism and the Tortured Self

contributor:
Wood, Chauncey
English

abstract:
This study attempts to understand the origin and outcome of the contradiction that is present throughout much of George Herbert's 2'1le Temple. The roots of this contradiction will be examined from the perspective of John Calvin's theology of grace. The doctrine of grace, from the Calvin's point of view, includes both an emphasis on the necessity and the ineffectuality of works for salvation. Herbert, like Calvin, was keenly aware of the difficulty of struggling between these opposing notions of grace and works. Hence, he experienced this contradiction as the "affliction" of his daily life, an affliction embodied in many of the poems throughout Tbe Temple.

In seeking the origins of this contradiction in Herbert, we will look to his poetry, the Bible, as well as the works of John Calvin. An examination of the Church of England in Herbert's day and how it interpreted the doctrine of grace will add to our knowledge of how to read grace in 2'1le Temple. Having clearly defined contradiction in Herbert and how it relates to grace as he perceived it, the study will proceed to examine a number of poems specifically for the struggles they portray between the opposing notions of grace and works.

contributor:
Cain, T.H.
English

abstract: This thesis surveys the nature of imitation in the pastoral genre by examining Spenser's The Shepheardes Calender and a Canadian poem which overtly descends from it--James Reaney's A Suit of Nettles. The Introduction establishes the chronological evolution of pastoral by focusing on Theocritus's Idylls, Virgil's Eclogues and Mantuan's Adulescentia as generic touchstones. It also outlines briefly the Renaissance distinction between "Arcadian" and "Mantuanesque" pastoral. Chapter One deals with the extent to which each of The Shepheardes Calender and A Suit of Nettles specifically imitates its pastoral predecessors from Theocritus through Spenser. Chapter Two examines the degree of social engagement: while Spenser clearly comments on or even satirizes specific contemporary events and people in the world's eye--such as the French marriage question--in The Shepheardes Calender, Reaney--under the influence of Northrop Frye--seems to be concerned with drawing the reader's attention to general flaws he observes in twentieth-century Canadian culture. Finally, Chapter Three addresses the poetic craftsmanship of Spenser and Reaney by paying particular attention to their respective April eclogues through close technical analyses.

abstract:
The late 1970's saw a rise in the "back to the basicslf movement in education, which was critical of the loss of standards and the permissive program requirements in Ontario's secondary school system. The most recently published Ministry of Education document to promulgate tighter controls over the curriculum is Ontario Schools: Intermediate and Senior Divisions.

Because I agree that there has been a need for a more prescriptive curriculum in high schools, more consistent standards in program requirements and tighter controls over courses offered, I applaud the Ministry's attempt in OSIS to bring back a basic common curriculum for most secondary students and tighter prescriptions for a graduation diploma.

In this project I have chosen to trace the cycle of the loosening and tightening of the Ministry's control over courses offered in French as a second language in Ontario, and to outline the effects that OSI5 has had and will have on the teaching of French in high school. In order to illustrate the positive and negative effects that 05IS will have on FSL, I have examined a grade 9 basic level French course recently created because of OSIS, and the new Ontario Academic Courses in French which are scheduled to be offered in the 1987-88 academic year. When one weighs the problems in FSL created by OSIS against the overwhelming positive changes that it has initiated in the field of second language learning, one can only conclude that this document will improve the quality of education in Ontario's secondary schools.

abstract: [missing page 94]

abstract: The impact of rail road development on Canadian society has recently become a much debated topic. A significant interpretation of Canadian economic development posits a fundamental contradiction between mercantilists and industrialists, arguing that the former have maintained supremacy over the latter and that this has retarded the emergence of industrial capitalism. Further, it is claimed that Canada's railways were designed to promote mercantile interests and functioned to impede the transition from a mercantile to an industrial economy. The above formulation, however, largely employs strictly economic criteria to characterize Canadian society. This thesis presents an alternate framework, one which attempts to view social reality from the bottom-up, that is from the point of view of the producers and their work relationship5. Using the criteria developed for this framework, it is argued that railroad development between 1850 to 1879 marked the transition from a mercantilist to an industrial capitalist soci~ty and, more- over, that these transportation projects were the backbone of this social change.

These contributions, centering around his Critique of the Parsonian grand sociology, Sociological methodology, Mass Society, Alienation, Political Sociology, New Leftism, and Democracy and Liberalism, constitute the main themes for analysis and assessment in the present dissertation. A champion of sociological radicalism, Mills represents an integrating link between classic sociology and modern sociology.

BACKGROUND: Creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation during resistance exercise results in a greater increase in fat free mass (FFM), total body mass (TBM), and strength in young men and women. The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the interactive effects of creatine supplementation and resistance training on body composition, strength, and intramuscular total creatine concentration in older men and women.

METHODS: Twenty-eight older men and women were randomly allocated, in a double blind fashion, to receive either CrM (n=14; CrM: 5g + 2g dextrose) or placebo (n=14; PL: 7g dextrose). Subjects participated in a 14 wk progressive, whole-body resistance training program. Pre-and post-training measurements included: 1 RM strength, isometric strength, body composition (TBM, FFM, %BF), muscle fiber area, and muscle total creatine and phosphocreatine.

RESULTS: Training resulted in an increase in 1 RM strength for each of the 4 exercises (range = 26 - 60%) (p < 0.001), an increase in knee and dorsiflexion isometric strength (p < 0.001) and an improvement of performance on functional tasks (p < 0.001). Knee isometric strength was increased more for CrM (46.2%) as compared to PL (22.5%) (p < 0.05). Total body mass and lean body mass increased more for CrM (TBM: +1.2 kg; LBM: +1.7 kg) as compared to PL (TBM: -0.2 kg; LBM: 0.4 kg) (p < 0.05)

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that erM supplementation results in a greater increase in isometric knee extensor strength, total body mass and lean body mass during resistance training in older adults.

title: The Significance of Mass Media Ownership for the Process of Ideological Reproduction: The Canadian Case

subject: Sociology Sociology

abstract: [missing page:399]

abstract: The thesis addresses the problem of the relation between the ownership and control of mass media and the process of ideological reproduction with specific reference to the Canadian case. The instrumentalist response, which suggests that the dominant class controls the major ideological institutions and sets the parameters within which ideological discussion is confined, is contrasted with the structuralist response, which sees ideological reproduction as a process related to the social relations of production that characterize the media discourse in a social order where a particular class is hegemonic. The concrete case of Canadian mass media is examined, and it is suggested that neither position is fully adequate to account for the operation of the process here. Porter's (1965) and Clement's (1975) studies of the ownership structure are revised for 1978, and it is found that mass media ownership and control has become increasingly more highly concentrated within a few dominant complexes that are increasingly interrelated through reciprocal shareholdings, interlocking directorships, and joint publishing and broadcasting undertakings. Similar linkages between the dominant media capitalists are documented, which suggests that the dominant media capitalists can be considered homogeneous, and which in turn carries implications for the ideological diversity of media products. Their precise role in the process of media production/ideological reproduction is considered through the analysis of responses to a questionnaire forwarded to publishers, managing editors, broadcasting station managers, and news directors associated with the media outlets controlled by the dominant complexes. The results indicate that those who hold important editorial positions within the major publishing and broadcasting outlets are substantially indistinguishable from the dominant media capitalists in terms of particular ascriptive characteristics (age, sex, region of birth, ethnic origin, class origin, etc.) and that therefore these individuals can be considered class agents for the dominant media capitalists.Finally, the role of the Canadian state within the broadcasting sector is considered through a discussion of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (C.B.C.) and through the analysis of the activities of the Canadian Radio-television Telecornn1unications Commission (C.R.T.C.). It is argued that both state agencies act t9 favour the position of the private mass media and hence the position of the dominant media capitalists.It is concluded that ownership and control of the major mass media outlets in Canada is exercised by a few dominant media capitalists who are homogeneous, who recruit appropriate class representatives to the critical media positions in order to insure their own class interests, who otherwise act as latent overseers or "night watchmen" vis-a-vis their private media operations, and whose position is secured and perpetuated through the activities of the state. The significance of this structure of dominance for the process of ideological reproduction is said to ultimately require a test of the structuralist position, that is, the analysis of the social relations of mass media production in order to understand how the interests of the dominant class are preserved, and the circumstances under which their interests may be threatened. Consequently, it should be possible to integrate the two approaches in such a way as to render fully comprehensible the reproduction of the dominant ideology through the mass media.

abstract: This thesis suggests that the ongoing structure-agency debate in the international relations literature contains relevant insights that should be imported into the literature on international conflict, and, more concretely, that concerns with ideational structures should be incorporated into t he more materialist concerns of conflict theorists. The theoretical sections of the thesis suggest that it is possible to develop new approaches to thinking about conflict theory without making either agents or structures ontologically primitive. Using modified formulations of power cycle theory, identity theory, and prospect theory, a synthetic argument incorporating elements of each is developed within a framework of structure and agency. The final chapter of the thesis examines t he Falkland/Malvinas War and applies the theoretical argument to "test " the strengths and weaknesses of t he theory. The thesis concludes by pointing out some areas of difficulty and possible paths for further research.

abstract:
The lack of understanding the behaviour of concrete masonry and the complex interaction existing between its components (block, mortar, and grout) at failure may be the cause of the continued use of the code's working stress method. This approach could underestimate the potentials of masonry as a construction material. It is the main objective of this investigation to provide a better understanding of concrete masonry behaviour under different in-plane load conditions (compression, tension, shear and biaxial stresses) considering the anisotropic nature of masonry as a composite material. This understanding was gained through a combined experimental and analytical investigation.

In the experimental study, 323 masonry assemblages were tested under compression normal and parallel to the bed joints, splitting tension at different orientations from the bed joints, shear along the bed joint with different levels of precompression, and off-axis compression and tension to produce biaxial states of stresses along the bed and head joints. The test material variables were mortar type, grout strength, and bed joint reinforcement.

Analytical strength formulas, based on a "strength" approach, are proposed to express, in quantitative terms, the assemblage compressive strength normal to the bed joints, tensile strength normal, diagonal, and parallel to the bed joints, and shear strength along the bed joint with and without precompression. The applicability of the failure theories for both isotropic and composite materials to masonry were examined. Failure criteria are proposed to predict the strength and the failure mode of concrete masonry under biaxial stresses taking into account the anisotropic nature of masonry as a brittle composite material. Design code provisions (CSA S 304) for plain masonry are reviewed.

Sociology

subject: Sociology Sociology

abstract: [missing page:102]

abstract:
This thesis examines English Canadian novels written by women during the 1970' s in order to explore a possible feminist tradition in English Canadian fiction as well as to seek out a possible correspondence between the· political themes of the Women's Movement and the representation of women in novels. There is a premise that women as writers bring different perceptions and expectations to their literary experience. This literary representation of gender difference is rooted in women's experience of oppression and the role women have played in the family structure. The result is a distinct representation of women by women in fiction that differs from the more traditional social image.

The sociology of literature is employed to construct a theoretical framework around the question of whether or not literature reflects society. The hypothesis is that a counter-traditi6n concerning the representation of women appears in the fiction written by women, and thus the social norms and values of society have not in fact been reflected in the novels studied.

The role of the themes raised by the Canadian Women's Movement in the seventies and their contribution to a counter-ideology which challenges gender ideology, are examined to support the hypothesis. Any correspondence between the themes of the Women's Movement and the novels would point to a possible impact that the counter-ideology of the movement may have had upon women and their own self- image as portrayed by their fiction.

This study concludes, that, despite even the most notable exceptions, there is a distinct gender difference in the writing of fiction as it pertains to the representation of women. The themes of both the Women's Movement and the literature written by women all point to a unity of values, experiences and behaviors that women share and are subsequently represented in their fiction.

abstract: [missing pages:92,123]

abstract:
Liberalism appears to have two meanings; one having an ethical component, which strives to allow individuals to fulfil their capabilities and be full members of society; the other, simply being a market-like relation between consumers. In this thesis I argue that there is a meaning left to liberalism other than enforcing the minimal rules of the competitive arena and that liberalism must encompass the new problems of growing unemployment and poverty in liberal democratic societies.

This thesis considers modern liberal thinkers who address the meaning of liberalism and the contemporary crises faced in Western democratic nations. These thinkers, Guy Debord, John Kenneth Galbraith, Norberto Bobbio, and Ralf Dahrendorf, provide a convenient overall perspective on the problem of liberalism.

Guy Debord views liberal societies as just a spectacle of mindless consumption which has gone beyond the grasp of thoughtful citizenship. However, while his arguments do have some valid points and remarks to make about our society, because Debord chooses to ignore the plight of the increasing numbers of those who do not fit into the general parameters of society, his argument that liberalism necessarily excludes ethical principles is flawed.

John Kenneth Galbraith addresses the issue of the growing number of poor and unemployed which raises the issue as to whether liberalism can address the needs of society as it changes.

Norberto Bobbio attempts to find a system which would solve the present shortcomings of our liberal democratic system. However, he offers a utopian vision which would not solve contemporary problems.

Finally, Ralf Dahrendorf addresses problems faced in contemporary liberal democracies and believes ethical liberalism has a future. While he recognizes the conflict between the market side and the ethical side of liberalism, he believes that this conflict, given the will, can and must be worked out to benefit every human being.

Some of the mechanisms we shall discuss are: (1) the importance and the manner of proselytization, (2) the significance of the sect's value system and ideology in providing an alternate frame of reference, (3) the importance of one's social contact with sect members, and (4) the insulting function of the sect's normative system. We do not imply that other sects do not employ some of thees mechanisms as well but note that Jehovah's Witnesses are peculiar in that they make use of all of these in a combination that effects ideological and social isolation of the sect from the secular world, resulting in a sectarian community.

abstract: [missing page:113]

abstract: Joyce Cary had a firm expansive moral philosophy to which readers have access through his two speculative works, Power in Men and Art and Reality, through his many essays and through the interviews he gave. While this thesis is primarily concerned with Cary's two trilogies, the first composed of Herself Surprised, To Be a Pilgrim and The Horse's Mouth and the second composed of Prisoner of Grace, Except the Lord and Not Honour More, it also sets out to examine the way in which one particular aspect of his philosophy, that we are "together in sympathy ... but alone in mind", dictates the form of each novel as well as each trilogy. The first chapter will deal with the individual books of the first trilogy and with the trilogy as a whole. It is an analysis of how Cary embeds his philosophy in his fiction. In effect, the first chapter lays the groundwork for an understanding of how this specific concern of Cary's, the conflict between thinking and feeling, is expressed in triple point-of-view. The second chapter will deal with the individual books of the second trilogy and, as it goes, the trilogy as a whole. Since the theme of thinking versus feeling is less obvious in the second trilogy, this chapter is an argument that such a preoccupation is as central to the second trilogy as it is to the first. This thesis also accounts for the distinctly different form each trilOgy takes.

abstract: [missing pages: 34,64,98]

abstract:
The influence of Romanticism on nineteenth-century aesthetics has been well documented. Less well researched, however, has been the significant contribution of the Romantic Movement to the religious discourse of the Victorian church. Focusing on the movement commonly called the Oxford, or Tractarian, Movement, I examine the religious significance ofthe Romantic discourse inspired by the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. Specifically, I outline the importance of the Romantic sensibility for nineteenth-century preaching, focusing on the works ofE.B. Pusey. Pusey has often been neglected in studies concerning the aesthetic aspects of the Catholic Revival in the Church of England, and though his sermons and theology demonstrate a notable Romantic influence, critics have favoured those members of the Movement who produced explicitly aesthetic works (such as John Keble and his book of verse, The Christian Year). In contrast, this Thesis locates Pusey in relation to nineteenth-century aesthetic concerns.

The sermon occupied a place of central importance in the religious and literary discourses of nineteenth-century England. Attendance at sermons was both a religious obligation and a cultural activity. The pulpit functioned as a source of moral pedagogy and social commentary, and the century's famous pulpiteers were the objects of considerable public attention. As a leader of the Oxford Movement, Pusey was at the forefront of one of the most significant cultural events ofthe nineteenth century, and it is in his sermons that the aesthetic and theological vision of that Movement can best be located. To that end, this Thesis elucidates the characteristics of nineteenth-century pulpit oratory and the indebtedness of the Victorian sennon to the aesthetic theories of the Romantics. Pusey's sennons, particularly the Sermons on Solemn Subjects delivered at St. Saviour's, Leeds, are considered in relation to these issues.

abstract: [missing page 29]

abstract:
This thesis explores the direct and causal link between the exploitation of women as a source of unpaid or cheap labour, and the rapid economic growth of the economies we consider newly industrialized. Thailand has been chosen as the case study because it serves to exemplify the kinds of effects gender based development has upon women. The hypothesis that was tested is that the exploitation of women - for example as unpaid labour in the home or the agricultural sector, or as a source of cheap waged labour in hotels or factories - is a necessary condition for the accelerated economic growth of Thailand.

The first chapter deals with feminist theory concerning patriarchal-capitalist relations. With heavy emphasis on the structuralist argument of such feminist theorists as Mies, Lim, Enloe, Hartman, Harstock and Lewenhak, the connections between capitalist economic arrangements and the underlying, hidden overtones of patriarchy are explored at length. The current condition of women in western as well as Thai society is related to the structure of capitalistpatriarchy and the process of housewifization.

In the second section of the first chapter, the historical aspects of women's work is related to the current economic context. It is demonstrated that clear linkages exist between the type of work women do in the home and the pay they receive in the capitalist workplace. It is hypothesized that because women's work was traditionally relegated to the private sphere that it has been undervalued, and thus, considered less economically viable.

Chapter two examines the historical development of Thailand. This section is divided into several phases beginning with the 1950s and proceeding into the contemporary stage. It is established that Thai development was, and currently is, significantly oriented towards production for export. These include the manufacturing sector, such as electronics, textiles and agricultural production. By nature, economies that have such heavy orientation on export are reliant on the cheap labour of its populace. In the case of Thailand, this includes predominantly women.

The third chapter explores specifically the sex selective migration patterns of Thailand and its relation to women's employment in the agrricultural sector. It was found that it is primarily young, unmarried women, ages 15-25 that are leaving rural areas of Thailand for Bangkok in order to earn a living. The kinds of changes that are occurring in agricultural production - for example, the mechanization of earn a living. The kinds of changes that are occurring in agricultural production - for example, the mechanization of farming - are seen as having a direct effect on young women's abilities to find employment in rural areas. It is demonstrated that with the advance of technology in the rural areas of Thailand, the social status of women has been affected in both positively and negatively. On the one hand, women's status in terms of decisions making patterns has improved. On the other hand, the traditionally high value ascribed to women vis a vis their reproductive abilities has diminished significantly. For instance, women are no longer viewed as the reproducers of the next generation of labour power. As such, men are not required to live in the matrimonial house since the religious conventions surrounding marriage and family have been relaxed.

Chapter four deals extensively with gender and Thailand's industrial sector, primarily the electronics, garment, and textile industries. It is established that Thailand's ability to attract offshore multinational investment is highly contingent upon it being able to provide semi-skilled, cheap labour. Thai women represent just such source of cheap labour. Most of the multinationals operating in Thailand are from either Japan, other South Asian countries, or the United States. Women's employment statistics in these industries are staggering. They comprise ln the electronics industry. The link between gender and development is probably no more evident than it is in these two economic sectors.

The second aspect of chapter four conceritrates on the informal sector of the Thai economy. This sector, unlike any other, is reliant upon the exploitation of women, especially young, uneducated women. The links between the tourism industry in Thailand and prostitution as a form of income generating activity are made very obvious. There are over 2 000 000 prostitutes in all of Thailand, 800 000 of whom are young women under the age of sixteen. The relationship between Thailand's needs for foreign currency and the high rate of prostitution associated with tourism are further illuminated.

It is concluded that indeed Thailand's development is highly contingent on the exploitation of women as a source of unpaid or cheap-waged labour. The most profitable sectors of the Thai economy tend to rely significantly on the labour of women. Women are, thus, indisputably the cornerstone of Thailand's economic growth. Yet, Thai women are disadvantaged in almost every aspect of their lives. They receive less education, have higher rates of illiteracy, receive lower wages, lack access to many occupations and are virtually invisible in Thai political life. Thai women have, as it was initially hypothesized, been profoundly affected by the gender based development of their country.

abstract: During the height of the Cold War, a new form of conflict among Canadian workers emerged along political lines. In some cases, the major source of conflict shifted from that of union versus management to left-wing union versus right-wing union. This thesis focusses on such an inter-union battle between the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and the United Steelworkers of America in Sudbury. Ontario from 1942 to 1969. ln this analysis, which attempts to incorporate the perspectives of the unions, the mine operators, and the Catholic Church and its affiliate organizations, it will be shown that despite the profound influence of the union executives, the media, the Church, and other prominent figures, the final decision regarding which union to joinwas ultimately made by the rankand- file members at Inco and Falconbridge (with the miners at Inco choosing the Steelworkers as their bargaining agent while the miners at Falconbridge chose to remain with Mine-Mill).

abstract:
The political philosophy of John Locke is well known to those who are familar with the foundations of modern liberal democracy. What is perhaps less familar is the biblical base to Locke's political teaching and his scriptural argument with Sir Robert Filmer. Indeed, Locke's use of the Bible in the development of his political philosophy has been strangely ignored by both biblical and political scholars.

Thus, this thesis is an attempt to articulate the political philsophy of Filmer and Locke from their explicit use of Scripture. It in turn focuses on the question of whether two disparate political teachings (i.e., the divine right of kings and liberal democracy), which are overtly based on the same three biblical verses, can be substantiated on the basis of what the text actually says at a particular point. The net result of this investigation will be to demonstrate a relationship between political teachings and religious texts.

title: Transient and Permanent Waveguide Effects in Electron-Beam-Pumped Semiconductor Lasers

contributor:
Shewchun, J.
Garside, B.K.
Physics

subject: Physics Physics

abstract:
Most semiconductor laser configurations have an active region width comparable to the wavelength of the radiation giving rise to potentially important diffraction effects. In this work, optically confining mechanisms which can affect the magnitude of those diffraction effects are investigated in electron-beam-pumped GaAs bulk material and GaInAs hetero-epitaxial layers of various thicknesses.

One major aspect of the laser behaviour is the time delay between the start of the excitation and the onset of lasing. It has been reported that various semiconductor lasers can exhibit time delays to threshold which exceed by as much as two orders of magnitude the time required for the gain or the radiation to build up within the resonator. In the first part of this thesis, the dependence of the time delays on the electron-beam voltage and current is studied experimentally and theoretically in GaAs bulk material. A model is proposed which accounts for the long time delays observed on the basis of transient waveguiding. According to this model, there is a growing refractive index difference between the active region and the underlying passive region which progressively confines the radiation thereby reducing the cavity losses and eventually bringing about lasing threshold. The spatial and temporal variations of the refractive index are attributed to corresponding variations in the temperature and the gain. As an integral part of this model, minority carrier concentration and temperature profiles resulting from the differential energy loss profile of the electron beam are derived.

To test the above hypothesis, the measurements were repeated on GaInAs hetero-epitaxial layers. Incorporated in such structure is a permanent refractive index difference between the epitaxial layer and the substrate which confines the radiation within the epitaxial layer. As suggested by the model, for layer thicknesses of the order of the electron-beam penetration depth, only short time delays to threshold are observed. This demonstrates that a confining structure can affect dramatically the lasing behaviour.

In the second part of this thesis, the transverse distribution of the radiation within hetero-epitaxial layers is studied in more detail. An electromagnetic model for such a cavity is introduced in which the spatial variation of the refractive index within the epitaxial layer is approximated by a step profile. The importance of the permanent confining surface is shown to depend on the cavity parameters such as refractive index difference between active and passive region, absorption in the passive region and thickness of the epitaxial layer compared to the electron penetration depth. The specific conditions under which transient waveguide effects take preponderance over the permanent optical confinement are derived explicitly. It is found that the spatial distribution can be very sensitive to the permanent waveguide effects. Accordingly, the far-field diffraction patterns of the lasing radiation were measured on hetero-epitaxial layers of various thicknesses and on bulk material under various pumping conditions. The theoretical fit to the experimental data shows that multimode lasing is a common occurence in epitaxial layers. Moreover, the time-resolved spatial measurements on the bulk material confirm that long time delays to lasing threshold are effectively associated with optical confinement of the radiation.

There is evidence that waveguiding mechanisms as described here are also important factors in the behaviour of other semiconductor laser configurations. Time-resolved measurements of the far-field patterns could be used to verify this proposition.

The influence of birthplace and religion on rural settlement in mid-nineteenth century southern Ontario is investigated. Over 1,000 settlers at each of the 1851 and 1861 Canada census dates who were born in either England, Ireland or Scotland and who were either Catholic, Anglican. Presbyterian or Methodist are of interest.

Mean crop productivity and land improvement measures are determined for each nativity, religious, and combined cultural characteristic group. Average cash value of farm (land and buildings) in 1861 is similarly examined. The proximity of each settler with a particular combination of nativity and religion to the nearestneighbour sharing the same set of cultural characteristics is measured. Finally, the influence of soil quality on crop productivity, land improvement, and farm value is examined. Changes of propinquity. crop productivity. and land improvement from 1851 to 1861 are also investigated.

The Irish Catholics were the most clustered and the Irish Protestants were the most dispersed at each census date. The Scottish were the most productive and the Irish were the least productive in both 1851 and 1861. The Presbyterians were the best producers in the religious category, while the Catholics were at the lower end of the scale. Land improvement results were similar with the Scottish. Presbyterians, and Scottish Presbyterians at or close to the top of the list and the Irish, Catholics, and Irish Catholics at or close to the bottom. The same pattern is evident in the comparison of farm values.

A clear profile emerges of the Scottish Presbyterian as generally the most productive and most industrious settler who operated the most valuable farm. At the other end of the scale the Irish Catholic generally was the lowest producer, had the least amount of land cleared and farmed the least valuable property.

title: The Professionalization of Medicine in Ontario during the Nineteenth Century

Marshall, Victor W.
Sociology

subject: Sociology Sociology

abstract: [missing pages 249]

abstract:
The nineteenth century was the most striking period in the history of Canadian medicine because it progressed from a relatively low-status occupation to a relatively high status profession. Canadian medicine was able to reach this goal as much on the basis of political maneuvrings as justifiable merit. This thesis is an attempt to "secularize" medicine (Freidson 1970a:24); to see it as a human creation. Owing to limitations of time and space I have decided to concentrate on one of the provincial forefathers of Canadian medicine, Ontario; with reference to the other progressive province, Quebec.

I have used three theoretical perspectives to help me organize the tremendous amount of data I accumulated. The majority of my discussion revolves around Terence Johnson's perspective in Professions and Power. Johnson looks at occupations within a socio-political milieu and on the basis of the latter suggests why certain occupations achieve or do not achieve professional autonomy. This approach is attractive because he does not examine professions in terms of innate characteristics but rather as an occupation that has been able because of the sociopolitical milieu to convince the State to transfer control over all administrative affairs to the profession. This includes any policing or disciplinary matters and therefore leaves the profession free from external scrutiny and control.

In order to analyze medicine's climb to autonomy in Ontario I have borrowed two occupational career stages from Johnson and devised one of my own. In the first stage medicine comes under Oligarchic control. Johnson suggested that when a client oriented occupation is in a situation where the power elite constitutes the sole consumer group then the occupation is controlled by the elite and is not free to maneuvre for more independence. The second stage in medicine's career is simply a transitional period when medicine comes out from under Oligarchic control and proceeds towards autonomy. The final stage is the achievement of occupational autonomy.

Eliot Freidson has also been used, but to a lesser extent in the analysis. He concurs with Johnson's definition of profession. Freidson's emphasis on the factor of technical competence is particularly useful in the transitory stage of medicine's status as one reason why medicine is unable to achieve occupational autonomy.

Johnson's theoretical perspective becomes a little less helpful in analyzing Canadian data towards the last third of the century because of his emphasis on the growing homogeneity of the occupation. It did not coincide with Canadian data. Thus I added Strauss and Bucher (1961) to keep the historical analysis in line with events. Their appreciation of the importance of conflict and differences of interest to the progress of occupations helped generate worthwhile hypotheses from what appeared superficially to be rather unimportant occurrences.

title: The Concept of Nature and Supenature in the Theology of John Oman

abstract:
"Nature and Surpernature" is the fundamental concept of John Oman's philosophy of religion. That philosophy, found in his book "The natural and the Supernatural" should be read within the context of his "theologia crucis", which is given in his earlier theological writings. Oman's faith is that Our Lord on the Cross reveals the Father as Love, who demands from men that they take up their crosses in forgiveness. The Father's Love and man's freedom to partake of it are tho essence of Christianity. All else is but relative and changing.

In so embarking on a philosophy of religion that is regulated by faith, Oman is attempting to reconcile the challenge of the Gospel with its rationality. His certainty that its truth is not dependent on the approval of metaphysicians is combined with his consciousness that it is his duty to explain to the world in reasonable terms the character of that Gospel. For there to be purpose in discussing his philosophy of religion, tentative agreement must be given to the possibility of such an undertaking against those who believe in the corruption of all "unredeemed" judgement, and against those who believe that the philosophy of religion should be based not on faith but on "natural evidence". In saying this it may be regretted that Oman does not make more explicit in "The Natural and the Supernatural" its dependence upon faith. Consequently it would not be difficult to overemphasise his debt to and connections with the traditions of European secular rationalism.

As a preliminary to the account of Oman's philosophy of religion, the bare course of his life and writings between 1860-1939 is described in relation to his involvement in the traditions of modern Europe. Without suggesting determinism about a man of Oman's originality, he may be seen more clearly in the light of the contrast between the Biblical faith of his Orkney childhood and the secular philosophy current in his day. Though he scorns the scholarly reference, his immense reading in the field of post-Kantian liberal theology may be seen in his debts to Lotze's realism, Schleiermacher's theology of feeling and Ritschl's Christocentric scorn of metaphysics. Oman's reaction against Hegelian speculation may be the better understood when it is remembered that he was a practising minister till his forty-seventh year. The change in his writings from the simple Gospel, addressed to those within the Church, to the philosophy of religion addressed to the world may be partly explained by his experience in Cambridge, where he spent the last third of his life. In this atmosphere he saw how deep was the necessity for a metaphysics which would show to men dominated by their visions of the world as "things" or "life" or even "spirit" how the most real and important world was that of "persons". By his response to the European catastrophe of 1914 the practical substance of his ethics is clarified.

Oman's metaphysics is approached by describing his account of how the supernatural makes its appearance to consciousness. Tho fitness of this approach may be justified by Oman's belief that speculation must always necessarily proceed from an already held hierarchy of values. He does not believe it possible to assume only the self-evident. He lays down that men know the supernatural environment as meaning and that that meaning depends on the unique character of the feeling it evokes, which he calls "the sense of tho holy"; and on the absolute value men find in it, which he calls "the judgment of the sacred". The immediate conviction of a special kind of objective reality inseparable from this valuation he calls "the supernatural". Oman does not analyse or describe the far reaching assumptions underlying these seemingly simple terms which he uses in his own particular way. The advantage of this failure to analyse his terms is that he takes the reader straight into his brilliant use of them; the disadvantage is the resultant ambiguity in his groundwork, some of which is later clarified but much of which is not.

With these terms Oman embarks on a profound discussion of the relation of religious dependence to moral independence, or what he calls in his theology the problem of grace and personality. The sense of the holy, given with and through our contemplation of the natural, is the pioneer in presenting men with absolute values. Only, however, as the will responds to those insights by freely employing them in the natural, does our sense of the holy chance from awe to reverence. He describes the interdependence of the two relations to the supernatural, action and contemplation. Rightness in action is described as "faithfulness", true contemplation as "sincerity of feeling". After disposing of the naturalist and Hegelian accounts of tho moral judgment, the relation of the holy to the sacred is illuminated by a comparison with the Kantian account of the moral judgement. Kant's brilliant understanding of the categorical quality of ideal values does not save his ethics from legalism, consequent on his account of personality simply as an autonomy of volition and not also an autonomy of insight. Its weakness as criticism lies in its obscurity about the relation of ideal to natural values, as compared with the clarity of Kant's imperious duty.

Oman's account of the appearance of the natural to consciousness centres on his description of "awareness" and "apprehension". Through these faculties we are given nature as it is in itself, as compared with "comprehension" and "explanation" which allow us to deal with nature for our own purposes. The rationalist epistemologies of nature fail to do justice to those elements of knowing in which children and poets excel. By sensitiveness of awareness we are given the natural in its dependance upon the holy; in sincerity of apprehension there flash up those ideal values by which we may deal with the natural. Nature is then the symbolism through which God speaks to us and by which we reply to Him. Its very mystery however must tell us that it is more than that. It is regretted that Oman's radically personalist conception of nature is not made sufficiently explicit in "The Natural and the Supernatural", but must be implied from his other work and from the writings of his pupil Professor H. H. Farmer.

Nature and supernature, so related and distinguished, cannot be conceived apart from one another. Equally they can only be conceivod in relation to Oman's concept of man. With these three terms and their relationship Oman passes beyond monism and dualism to give his account of "prophetic monotheism". Monism, according to Oman, whether religious or philosophical, is motivated by the attempt to avoid the conflicts of the world by sinking back into the undifferentiated sense of the holy. Thus the natural and persons are submerged in the supernatural. No proper place is allowed for the suffering and striving of tho world. Such theology must either disregard it or despair about it. On the other hand, dualist solutions, whether explicitly as in Persia or incipiently in the philosophy of Kant, conceive personality as the performance of atomic acts of freedom detached from man's insight into the supernatural and his consciousness of the natural. So the supernatural is conceived as a Judge meting out rewards or punishments. Morality becomes a legalism without trust, not the glorious liberty of the children of God. In tho interplay of theory and practice the world becomes less and less conceived as all God's.

The prophets, particularly Hosea, first strove to overcome that dualism. They found that revelation through the natural and reconciliation to the natural were reciprocal. Thus they came more and more to understand that forgiveness in which the world could all be dealt with as the Father's. Our Lord's Life and Death finally reveals that prophetic monothoism in all its fullness. Our Lord's forgiveness of those who tortured and degraded Him roveals that God's Nature cannot be less glorious than that vision. Men can in that light find joy in the world by the knowledge that all can be redeemed. Dualism remains for all men a standing problem but it need never be accepted as a solution. The conclusion Of Oman's metaphysic is just the simple Gospel of the Father's Love and His children's freedom.

To understand what Oman means by tho supernatural the attempt must be made to fathom what he makes of the concept "history". This question cannot be answered in terms of his classification of religions in "The Natural and the Supernatural", for that is in essence the arrangement of historical phenomena in the light of an already held metaphysics, not a theology of history. It can be answered only in terms of the Christology found elsewhere. Oman will not define the Being of Christ beyond St.Paul's phrase: "God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself". Simply because of the Passion, to which the Resurrection adds nothing essential, men can know the Mind of God and, therefore, trust that all history is to good purpose and will have a final glorious consummation. But no particular doctrinal statements about these matters is of the essence of the Gospel. Such a quietist trust is not ahistoric in any Greek sense, but it cannot affirm any scheme of history. Oman is here unclear about the relation between the consummation on the Cross and the doctrine of progress, acceptance of which seems often to be implied in his writings.

A practical theologian can fairly be judged by his theology of politics. Though Oman writes on no subject more voluminously than on the Church, his politics are not concrete. In his doctrine of the Church there is a practical contradiction between his assertion that the Church should be the fellowship of the saints, leaving all issues of power with God, and the belief that the religious life should be just the ordinary life well lived. This is partly determined by his interpretation of the relation between the thought of the Reformers and the men of the Rennaissance and Aufklärung. Oman seems to underestimate the value and necessity of tradition. What he means by denial and possession of the natural is also complicated by his contradictory statements about the possibility of creative politics for the Christian. In 1914 his liberalism triumphed over his quietism. Despite his criticism of Kant's failure to take account of the varieties of function, Oman gives no principles under which men can attempt to reconcile their vocations with the demands of the Kingdom of God, except his "logique du coeur". Particularly in a practical theologian who is not greatly concerned with speculative cosmology, a failure of analysis at this point is to be regretted.

Oman's philosophy of religion is not, in the late Professor Laird's phrase, open to audit by reason alone. Men do not know the Truth only by clearheadedness but also by sincerity of feeling and faithfulness in action. It is possible to say of Oman: here are failures of analysis, here exasperating silences, here opaqueness of style and a simple vocabulary covering obscurities. One must either accept or reject his central faith. From that acceptance or rejection one must consider the possibility of such a Christian philosophy of religion, dependent on faith yet appealing to the image of God in all men. Must a challenging and a rational Gospel be ever in complete contradiction? As that question is answered in the negative, Oman's philosophy of religion is judged a remarkable attempt to make visible the world of persons in Christian terms and in relation to other worlds. It meets the cry of men bewildered by their period. With a sensitivity that is strong and an individuality concerned with essentials, he holds consistently together his faith in the Majesty of God's Love and in the dignity of a man to know that Love in autonomy of action and contemplation.

abstract:
This study was an attempt to outline and assess the "structuralist" reading of Marx with respect to the principles of Marx's method of class analysis. The work of Louis Althusser was my major point of reference although the works of Etienne Baalibar, Maurice Godelier and Nicos Poulatzas were also consulted.

It is argues that Marx's method can be broken down into four major principles; (1) a principle of materialism; (2) a principle of complexity; (3) a principle of structural causality; (4) and finally a principle of objectivity. Althusser's marxism is employed as a theoretical framework for outlining these principles. At the same time I attempt to assess Althusser's reading of Marx.

My overall judgement of Althusser is positive although a number of critical points of weakness are discussed. It is argues that Althusser's marxism creates for the possibility of a truly "open" marxism - a marxism committed to knowing something and not unthinkingly applying Marx's utterances in a non-critical manner.

abstract:
The Hellenistic Period was a time of great cultural change for the Middle East. New peoples and ideas were introduced into the region, interacting with local cultures. In the process, new ideas and traditions were produced and defined. Such phenomena were weil represented in the temples which were built in the Middle East after the death of Alexander the Great. These structures, in their construction and use, benefitted from the influences of a variety of sources with the result of producing forms of structure and cult which had previously not been seen.

This thesis examines the religious structures at three sites, spaced widely across the Middle East: Ai Khanum in modern day Afghanistan, the island of Failaka off the coast of Kuwait, and Dura-Europos in Syria. Each of these three sites was a new foundation by the incoming Greeks, and each possessedmultiple religious structues which have been relatively weil documented archaeologically. For each temple in this study, the structure and, where possible, the the evidence for cult is described and examined in order to identify the cultural heritages of the various elements and how the elements work together. Sorne of the possible cultural heritages of the temples to be examined may include the Mesopotamian tradition with its courtyards and massive mudbrick constructions or the Greek tradition with its Doric or Ionie orders. This thesis also analyses the resulting information so that any patterns and processes, which emerge from this complex picture, might then be identified and explained.

subject: Triclosan Irgasan BPA Implantation Blastocyst Estrogen Biology Biology

abstract: Triclosan is an antimicrobial additive found in a number of personal care and household products. Widely detected in humans, the compound has been given increasing attention due to reports of its endocrine-disrupting potential. Recent evidence indicates that triclosan is mildly estrogenic. The carefully timed event of blastocyst implantation in mammals is modulated in part by estrogen and can be disrupted by above optimal elevations in estrogenic stimulation. Here, we examined the influences of triclosan administration in inseminated female mice. Doses of 18 and 27 mg/animal/day on gestation days (GD) 1–3 reduced implantation site numbers as observed on GD 6, relative to vehicle controls and females given lower doses. Single doses of 18 or 27 mg reduced implantations when given on GD 3, whereas only 27 mg did so when given on GD 2. Subsequently, we examined the impacts on early pregnancy of triclosan in combination with the xenoestrogen bisphenol-A, which has been previously found to disrupt implantation, at doses that were individually ineffective. A combination of 4 mg BPA and 9 mg triclosan/animal/day administered on GD 1–3 reduced the number of implantations observed on GD 6 and increased the length of gestation, relative to controls and those animals simply given one or the other compound. All of these effects mimicked stronger effects seen in positive controls given 17β-estradiol. These data are consistent with the notion that triclosan has mild estrogenic properties, and show that it can act together with a known xenoestrogen to disrupt implantation.

abstract:
Introduction: Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) receive physiotherapy interventions to promote motor skill relearning. Theoretically-driven motor learning strategies (MLS) may support therapists in this goal, but their use with this complex population is unexplored. Virtual reality (VR) games are popular interventions that may influence therapist use of MLS. A valid, reliable method to examine MLS during usual and VR-based interventions is required.

Purpose: To: 1) identify the active ingredients of VR interventions; 2) develop and examine the psychometric properties of an instrument to measure MLS use; and 3) explore physiotherapists’ perspectives on promoting motor learning within usual and VR-based interventions for children with ABI.

Methods: A scoping review methodology was used to identify the active ingredients of VR interventions. Nineteen experts and clinicians participated in a content validation process to develop an instrument to measure MLS. Inter-rater reliability of the instrument was evaluated within 22 videotaped usual and VR-based physiotherapy sessions with children with ABI. Six therapists participated in qualitative interviews about these interventions.

Results: The scoping review identified 11 active ingredients of VR; 6 related to motor learning theory. The Motor Learning Strategy Rating Instrument (MLSRI) was developed. Inter-rater reliability was high (0.81) for usual interventions but low (0.28) for VR-based interventions. Therapists described the importance of considering intervention goals and child characteristics when promoting motor learning; VR was viewed as a complex, motivating intervention that influenced their use of verbal strategies.

Conclusions: A motor learning theoretical framework may be relevant to clinicians and researchers using VR in pediatric rehabilitation. Qualitative findings enhance understanding of how therapists promote motor learning in usual and VR-based physiotherapy interventions for children withABI. The use of MLS can be measured reliably within usual interventions, but further instrument refinements are required to rate MLS use within VR-based physiotherapy for children with ABI.

title: Predicting the Motions of Detached Ice Floes

Howarth, P.J.
Geography

subject: Geography Geography

abstract:
Methods for predicting motions of drifting open pack ice and determining wind fields and ice parameters, associated with these motions, are needed for studying sea ice dynamics in the Polar Oceans. The new ice motion prediction method, developed and tested in this study, is a response to these needs. To ensure its applicability only readily available data, such as surface weather charts and LANDSAT-1 MSS images, were used. The method is able

a. to predict the motions of groups of wind driven detached ice floes over periods of 12, 36 and 60 hours.

b. to determine the surface wind fields, sea ice thickness and the surface and subsurface drag coefficients associated with these motions. This did not require any ice based measurements.

The method was developed by assuming wind stress, water drag and Coriolis force to be at equilibrium for a drifting group. Parameters associated with these motions were obtained from three day data sequences. Surface wind speed was estimated from the geostrophic wind fields, obtained from surface weather charts. Ice motion velocity was calculated from LANDSAT-1 MSS images. The angle of sea ice deflection, the cross isobar angles, sea ice thickness and the surface and subsurface drag coefficients were determined by solving the equilibrium equation of motion for detached ice floes, using values of the minima, maxima, means and ratios of these parameters. Weather data from a fourth day were used to predict the motions for this day. Where available, LANDSAT-1 MSS images for this day were used to test these predictions.

The method has practical usefulness if used in conjunction with data from microwave sensing systems. The predictions and parameters could be applied to support marine traffic and exploration of natural resources in the Polar Oceans. Wind fields and sea ice parameters, which were formerly practically unavailable can now be derived by the method. The knowledge gained in this study can lead to a better understanding of the physical environment in the Polar Oceans.

abstract: Premature debonding of externally bonded FRP laminate from retrofitted reinforced concrete (RC) members can lead to inefficient use of FRP and can limit the level of strength increase that can be achieved. In this investigation, novel carbon FRP anchors were used in an attempt to delay the onset of premature debonding and to achieve superior strength. Nine double shear tests were performed on small scale concrete prisms to determine the most suitable epoxy for bonding the anchors to the laminate and the concrete. One type of epoxy increased the ultimate load of the prism retrofitted with two anchors at each end of the laminate 83.7% over the control specimens without anchors. The second phase of the investigation consisted of testing six large scale T-beams with a 4500 mm span, 400 mm height and 500 mm flange width under four point bending. Two beams were tested without FRP reinforcement as control beams, one beam was tested with FRP only epoxy bonded and the remaining three beams were tested with the FRP epoxy bonded and anchored. One of the beams with 30 anchors exhibited a 46% increase in the debonding load over the beam without anchors while the FRP laminate attained a maximum strain equal to 80% of its ultimate strain capacity, a 94% increase over the beam strengthened with only epoxy bonded FRP. The results demonstrate the anchoring system’s effectiveness and a feasible way to efficiently utilize the FRP laminate.
