Developing A Purpose Driven Model For Today’S Korea Evangelical Holiness Church Pastors-Teachers, Seung Min Chang

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This thesis is to develop a purpose driven model for the pastors-teachers of the Korea Evangelical Holiness Church. This project explains that being a purpose driven education ministry means following the biblical principles behind the movement rather than copying specific characteristics that are unique to the Saddleback Church. In that view, this paper discusses how to implement Rick Warren's paradigm in the educational setting of the KEHC that has its own theological and cultural distinctives. Two kinds of surveys show that the denominational educational needs can be effectively covered through the results of the implementation.

Select Counselors’ Perspectives On Alcohol And Substance Abuse Among Hispanic Adolescents., David E. Tetrault

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This qualitative instrumental case study investigated the issue of alcohol and substance abuse among Hispanic adolescents through the perspectives of select counselors. Hispanic-Americans are the largest and fastest growing minority population in the United States. Simultaneously, alcohol and substance abuse among Hispanic adolescents is increasing with the commensurate consequences and need for solutions.

Data was collected using semi-structured, recorded, transcribed interviews with middle school and substance abuse counselors—key informants—who practiced in a community located in the Southwestern United States. Participants’ interactions with Hispanic adolescents spanned Hispanic adolescents’ experience with alcohol and substance abuse prior to onset through treatment.

Avian Influenza, Awad A. Saeed, Mansour F. Hussein

Saudi Medical Journal

A rapidly spreading, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus A H5N1 in the domestic poultry population has crossed the species barrier to humans and other mammalian species, thus, posing an increasing pandemic threat. The World Health Organization, other agencies, and countries worldwide are closely monitoring the prevalent influenza viruses and their related illnesses to detect any increased virulence or transmissibility that might signal the beginnings of any future pandemic. So far, the H5N1 virus has infected birds in more than 30 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa, while further geographical spread remains likely. Human infections are still rare and the virus …

Tumor Suppressor Activity Of Odc Antizyme In Mek-Driven Skin Tumorigenesis, David J. Feith, Sofia Origanti, Paula L. Shoop, Suzanne Sass-Kuhn, Lisa M. Shantz

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

To test the hypothesis that suppression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity blocks the promotion of target cells in the outer root sheath of the hair follicle initiated by Raf/MEK/ERK activation, we crossed mice overexpressing an activated MEK mutant in the skin (K14-MEK mice) with two transgenic lines overexpressing antizyme (AZ), which binds to ODC and targets it for degradation. K14-MEK mice develop spontaneous skin tumors without initiation or promotion. These mice on the ICR background were crossed with K5-AZ and K6-AZ mice on both the carcinogenesis-resistant C57BL/6 background and the sensitive DBA/2 background. Expression of AZ driven by either the …

Cloning, Sequencing, And Characterization Of Luciola Italica Luciferase, Jennifer P. Deangelis

Chemistry Honors Papers

The characteristic yellow-green light of a firefly is the result of a multi-step reaction catalyzed by the luciferase enzyme. This enzyme has many applications in the biomedical field and ongoing work is being done to alter its properties to better fit these applications. The purpose of this project was to clone the Luciola italica luciferase cDNA and to express, purify and fully characterize the corresponding bioluminescence-catalyzing enzyme in hopes of obtaining novel bioluminescent materials. Fireflies were collected in the countryside of Bologna, Italy, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and total RNA was extracted from the firefly lanterns. The L. italica …

Uji Stabilitas Sediaan Mikroemulsi Menggunakan Hidrolisat Pati (De 35–40) Sebagai Stabilizer, Mahdi Jufri, Effionora Anwar, Putri Margaining Utami

Majalah Ilmu Kefarmasian

Various solubilization techniques have been developed to enhance the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. One of the solubilization techniques is preparation of microemulsion. Microemulsion is a potential carrier in drug delivery system because it has many advantageous characteristics. In this research, hydrophobic drug was made in a dosage form of oil in water (O/W) microemulsion using ketoprofen as a model and investigated the influence of adding starch hydrolisates with dextrose equivalent (DE) 35-40 in variety concentrations (0,0%; 1,5%; 2,0%; 2,5%) to the stability of this microemulsion system. This microemulsion consisted of isopropyl miritate as oil phase, tween 80 and lechitin as …

A King Who Tames His Enemies And Not Who Is Obedient To The Law, Revo Arka Giri Soekatno

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Dongeng tentang raja yang mengerti bahasa binatang terdapat versinya dalam Pa catantra baik yang berbahasa Java Kuno maupun Pertengahan. Sadurannya juga terdapat dalam kesusasteraan Jawa Modern, seperti dalam siklus-siklus Anglingdarma. Namun, dalam berbagai versi Java ada kerancuan soal berbagai nama sang raja. Nama-nama tersebut misalnya Aridharma, Hari Dharma, Aji Dharma dan Angling Darma. Makalah ini akan membahas masalah nama raja ini dengan asumsi bahwa kejelasannya akan membantu perolehan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang kesusastraan Jawa, baik Kuno maupun Modern.

Prevalence Of Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia Coli And Salmonella Enterica In Rock Pigeons Captured In Fort Collins, Colorado, Kerri Pedersen, Larry Clark, William F. Andelt, M.D. Salman

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The potential role of rock pigeons (Columba livia) in the epidemiology of shiga toxin– producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella enterica is unclear. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of STEC and S. enterica in pigeons at urban and dairy settings as a function of season. Prevalence of STEC and S. enterica was estimated by bacteriologic culture of cloacal swabs collected from pigeons trapped at urban and dairy locations in and around Fort Collins, Colorado from January to November 2003. Presumptive E. coli isolates were tested for the presence of virulence genes SLT-1, SLT-2, eae, hlyA …

Folate-Targeted Immunotherapy Effectively Treats Established Adjuvant And Collagen-Induced Arthritis, Chrystal M. Paulos, Bindu Varghese, William R. Widmer, Gert J. Breur, Erina Vlashi, Philip S. Low

Department of Chemistry Faculty Publications

Activated macrophages express a cell surface receptor for the vitamin folic acid. Because this receptor is inaccessible or not measurably expressed on other normal cells, folic acid has been recently exploited to selectively deliver attached radio-emitters to sites of activated macrophage accumulation, allowing scintigraphic imaging of inflamed joints and organs of arthritic rats. We demonstrate here that folate-linked haptens can also be targeted to activated macrophages, decorating their cell surfaces with highly immunogenic molecules. Under conditions in which the rodent has already been immunized against keyhole limpet hemocyanine-(fluorescein isothiocyanate) FITC, activated macrophages are eliminated. Administration of folate-FITC conjugates to rodents …

Is 'Part Of Justice' Just At All? Reconsidering Aristotle's Politics Iii.9, Steven Skultety

The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter

Here is a summary of my argument: if partisan groups like oligarchs and democrats successfully achieve some degree of justice, it must be the case that they exhibit some degree of that virtue as it is analyzed in Nicomachean Ethics Book V (=Eudemian Ethics Book IV). Justice there is divided into two types: justice as lawfulness (which I will often refer to as “justice in the broad sense”), and justice as the equal (or, alternatively, “justice in the narrow sense”). The former type of justice is complete virtue with respect to others; it is the virtue that allows individuals to …
