The Ideology Of Cather’S Catholic Progressivism: Death Comes For The Archbishop, Guy J. Reynolds

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927), Cather’s fiction about the Catholic mission in the Hispanic Southwest, is a historical novel, but one that approaches its subject in an elusive, teasing manner. The text incorporates the new primitivism, carrying with it a tolerant receptivity to Indian culture, racial heterogeneity, and Catholicism--all of which are aspects of American culture that narrow definitions of American progress would have excluded. Nonetheless, Cather cannot finally combine, incorporate, or reconcile her own perspectives on progress, and her open text shades into an evasive text

Pathogenicity Of Septoria Aquilina Isolated From Black Hills Bracken, A. Gabel, C. Salazar

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Septoria aquilina, a pathogenic fungus isolated from Pteridium aquilinum growing in the Black Hills was studied from 1991-1995. S. aquilina sprayed at 8,000 conidia/ml on transplanted fronds followed by high humidity caused severe necrosis seven days after inoculation and disease severity increased until fronds died. Severe necrosis also developed from inoculations at 4,000 and 2,000 conidia/ml. Less severe symptoms developed from inoculations at 1,000 conidia/ml. Inoculations at 4,000 conidia/ml not followed by high humidity caused less necrosis than inoculations at the same concentration with high humidity. Inoculations at 4,000, 2,000, and 1,000 conidia/ml on fronds grown from spores caused similar …

The Role(S) Of Rhetoric In Religious Experience, Gregory J. Books

Iowa Journal of Communication

Studies of the role of rhetoric in religious experience have most often focused on mass revival preaching from either an Aristotelian or psychological stance. The first assumes that conversion is the result of rhetorical technique; while the second assumes that conversion is the result of mental instability, psychopathology, or mass hypnosis. Both approaches share the prior assumption that the experience is not genuine, but is the result of deception or manipulation. This study examines the ways that traditional assumptions have led critics to make judgments about the genuineness of the experience, which contributes to only a partial understanding of rhetoric …

Aging And Heterogeneity: Genetics, Social Structure, And Personality, John M. Light, Jill S. Grigsby, Michelle C. Bligh

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

Life-course studies of human development suggest that birth cohorts become more internally differentiated with respect to personality characteristics as their members age. This article examines possible explanations for this macro-level phenomenon in terms of three micro-level research traditions: (1) individual differentiation, (2) social structure/allocation, and (3) behavioral genetics. We conclude that each tradition can marshal credible empirical support, and that, therefore, all three are needed for a full understanding of older-age heterogeneity processes. A model is developed, synthesizing all three approaches. Study designs in any one of these traditions that fail to take account of the others are likely to …

Integrating Technology Into Planned Curricular Goals, Judy Hemphill

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

For the effective integration of technology into school improvement models we will need carefully-crafted, flexible plans. These blueprints will need to be designed with a solid basis of curricular goals, a critical eye on research, and numerous points of analysis and formative evaluation which will allow for adaptation.

As an operational base, a broad definition of technology will be required to encompass current tools and emerging capabilities. In November of 1989, Dr. Clinton R. Bunke admonished attendees at the Iowa Association of School Boards (IASB) Early Bird Workshop to not think in terms of "computer literacy," but in terms of …

The Different Worlds Of High School Biology And Physical Science Teachers, William W. Cobern, Adrienne T. Gibson, Scott A. Underwood

Scientific Literacy and Cultural Studies Project

A science teacher not only presents scientific concepts, but tacitly creates a context in which scientific concepts are presented to the class. This context can be strongly influenced by teacher beliefs or worldview. In the current research, teacher worldviews with respect to the essence of nature were examined. Two biology and two physical science teachers individually sat for qualitative interviews. The same interview protocols were used in a concurrent study involving ninth graders at their high school. The analysis led to three assertions: (1) When compared with their students, the science teachers had a much more focused and less diverse …
