Inerrancy And Sovereignty: A Case Study On Carl F. H. Henry, Joseph Karanja

Henry, a contemporary American evangelical theologian. Method This investigation uses case—study approach.

Half A Memory : The Vietnam War In The American Mind, 1975-1985, Mark W. Jackley

Master's Theses

This study attempts to show how Americans in general remembered the Vietnam War from 1975 to 1985, the decade after it ended. A kind of social history, the study concentrates on the war as remembered in the popular realm, examining novels as well as nonfiction, poetry, plays, movies, articles in political journals, songs, memorials, public opinion polls and more. Most everything but academic history is discussed. The study notes how the war's political history was not much remembered; the warrior, not the war, became the focus of national memory. The study argues that personal memory predominated over political memory for …

Frequency Of Rickettsia Sps. In Dermacentor Variabilis And Amblyomma Americanum In Central Hanover County, Virginia, Peggy Ann Keefe

Master's Theses

In the eastern United States, Dermacentor variabilis is the primary vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, the etiological agent for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in eastern United States increased steadily from 1959 to 1979 to a peak of one case per 200,000 people in 1979 (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 1985). In 1976, 98.9% of the reported cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever were east of the 100th meridian with 1.1% occurring west of the 100th meridian (Burgdorfer, 1977). Hanover County, Virginia is an endemic area for this disease (Sonenshine, 1971); the last reported case was …

Training Potential Witnesses To Produce Higher Quality Face Composites, David Bradley Marwitz

Master's Theses

This study attempted to determine if training and familiarization with a composite construction system would improve the quality of subjects' composite production. Subjects were trained in the use of the Mac-a-Mug Pro system over two sessions. During the course of the two meetings, subjects constructed eleven composites (six from memory and five with the face in-view) and were allowed time to practice with the system. Results suggests that the quality of subjects' composites improved with practice. However, training with the composite system prior to exposure to the first face did not lead to higher quality composites. These results have implications …

Psychosocial Effects Of Juvenile Rheumatic Disease : The Family And Peer Systems As A Context For Coping, Jennifer Ann Harris

Master's Theses

The psychosocial effects of juvenile rheumatic diseases and disease activity were examined among 24 families (12 with a rheumatic disease child, 12 with no chronic illness). Rheumatic disease children were paired with a healthy control child nominated by their classroom teacher. Family and child functioning was assessed through measures of stress, competence, coping, and adjustment while observations in the classroom were made to assess peer relations. MANOVA's and ANOVA's were performed to determine significant differences. Families with a child with inactive rheumatic disease tended to be less likely to seek out and accept help, more likely to put activities into …

Shakespeare And Astrology, William Bruce Smith

Master's Theses

The popular ity of astrology in Elizabethan England is ref lected by the large number of references to it in the works of William Shakespeare. The majority of astrological references in the Shakespearean canon are "commonplaces" and do not add signif icantly to our understanding of his work, although they are of interest in studying exactly how much astrological knowledge he possessed. There are astrological references in the plays, however, that are of significance in the study of character in Shakespeare. In certain plays (Romeo and Juliet, The Winter' s Tale) a judgement concerning various individuals ' inner nobility may …

Regulatory Cell Biology Of Growth Hormone And Prolactin In The Cow Mammary Gland, David Andrew Walkup

Master's Theses

Prolactin (PRL) acts directly on milk secretory cell nuclei to stimulate lactation in rats. In the cow, PRL has been detected in Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, and secretory vesicle subcellular fractions of mammary gland , but not nuclear fractions. However, growth hormone {GH) is the galactopoeitic hormone in cows, not PRL. The possibility of GH acting directly on the cow milk secretory cells, and PRL acting on their nuclei was investigated using an immunocytochemical method. PRL and GH were detected in endoplasmic reticular and Golgi apparatus regions of the milk secretory cells, as well as, on nuclear and fat globule …

Physical Self Efficacy, Injury, History And Locus Of Control As Predictors Of Athletes' Expected Recovery Actions In Response To Various Levels Of Injury Severity, Kristen R. Goldbach

Master's Theses

Athletes and coaches from a university athletic program at the highest level of competition in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and a college athletic program at the lowest level of competition participated in this project designed to study athletes expected recovery actions when presented with various levels of injury. Physical self-efficacy, locus of control and injury history were considered as mediators in the expected recovery processes including expected recovery time, the number of recovery strategies, and reaction to permission for competition after injury. The Physical Self-Efficacy Scale (Ryckman, Robbins, Thorton, & Cantrell, 1982) and the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale …
