Reflections On Teaching In A Catholic High School: A Qualitative Case Study, Daniel Blout

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This qualitative study participates in this ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the value of Catholic schools in the life ministry of the Catholic Church. By examining the understanding that lay teachers have of their responsibility to the Catholic identity and the faith formation of students in Catholic schools as articulated in the literature of leadership of the Catholic Church, this study examines some of the ways that lay teachers help maintain the Catholic identity of the school and how these teachers engage in the religious mission of Catholic schools. This qualitative study was purposely designed to engage and invite the 58 …

The Regulation Of Git1 Transcription In Response To Nutritional Factors, Wei Cheng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Glycerophosphoinositol is produced through deacylation of the essential phospholipid phosphatidylinositol. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, when inositol is limiting in the extracellular environment, the glycerophosphoinositol can be transported into the cell through the permease encoded by GIT1 . In this study, Northern blotting and GIT1 promoter activity were analyzed to assess the nutritional factors responsible for the regulation of GIT1 transcription. Here, I report that GIT1 transcript levels are greater in cells starved for phosphate, with or without inositol limitation, than in cells only limited for inositol. Ino2p and Ino4p are required for full GIT1 expression when the medium lacks both inositol …

Post-Conciliar Models Of Sin And Reconciliation: Towards A Contemporary Paradigm, James Cross

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The central proposal of this dissertation is that now, in the wake of the Second Vatican Council (1962-5), official Roman Catholic teaching on sin and sacramental reconciliation is not, but ought to be, based upon a contemporary paradigm of sin and reconciliation--i.e. a paradigm which is concordant with, and adequate in light of, the teachings and goals of this Council. According to the author, an existing "liturgical-narrational" model of sin and reconciliation ought to be elevated to the status of such a paradigm or supermodel.

The author arrives at this conclusion after examining two critical post-Conciliar documents--the revised Rite of …

In order to approximate longitudinal data regarding leadership behaviors, respondents were colleagues of the participants, both past and present. Respondents completed the Leadership Practices Inventory -- Observer (Kouzes and Posner, 2003) describing the participants' leadership behaviors. Responses from respondent colleagues were …
