No Beauty We Could Desire-A Lutheran Evaluation Of C. S. Lewis' Sehnsucht, Jonathan Graf Nov 2009

No Beauty We Could Desire-A Lutheran Evaluation Of C. S. Lewis' Sehnsucht, Jonathan Graf

Master of Art Theology Thesis

Together, the experiences and glimpses of what Lewis called' Joy' or Sehnsucht served as the central thread of his life" and provided him with the ontological lens through which he viewed reality. 13 It is the plan of this paper to further examine Lewis' treatment of Sehnsucht" by engaging it in dialogue with a Lutheran theological perspective. In doing so, there are two main objectives that I hope to accomplish. The first objective is to demonstrate that the experience of Sehnsucht should not be merely dismissed or fully embraced; rather, it should be placed within a proper theological narrative that …

Tunneling Through Intercorporate Loans: The China Experience, Guohua Jiang, Charles M. C. Lee, Heng Yue Nov 2009

Tunneling Through Intercorporate Loans: The China Experience, Guohua Jiang, Charles M. C. Lee, Heng Yue

Research Collection School of Accountancy

This study investigates a particularly brazen form of corporate abuse, in which controlling shareholders use intercorporate loans to siphon billions of RMB from hundreds of Chinese listed companies during the 1996 to 2006 period. We document the nature and extent of these transactions, evaluate their economic consequences, examine factors that affect their cross-sectional severity, and report on the mitigating roles of auditors, institutional investors, and regulators. Collectively, our findings shed light on the severity of the minority shareholder expropriation problem in China, as well as the relative efficacy of various legal and extra-legal governance mechanisms in that country.

Effects Of Stereotyping On Mood, Ovidiu Dobria Nov 2009

Effects Of Stereotyping On Mood, Ovidiu Dobria

College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Theses and Dissertations

The study investigated the influence of stereotyping on mood. It was hypothesized that people who were able to solve a problem by applying a stereotype will experience more positive affect compared to people who could not, and that the relationship between stereotyping and mood was mediated by effort and by certainty. 70 undergraduates were asked to predict the academic trajectory of a college applicant based on information provided by a typed college application form and by an essay. For half the participants the applicant was identified as Asian; for the others, the applicant was Anglo. The essay provided information that …


Alcohol Use And Gender Effects On Hiv Risk Behaviors In Cocaine-Using Methadone Patients, Carla J. Rash, Nancy M. Petry Nov 2009

Alcohol Use And Gender Effects On Hiv Risk Behaviors In Cocaine-Using Methadone Patients, Carla J. Rash, Nancy M. Petry

UCHC Articles - Research

Injection drug users engage in behaviors that increase the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other infectious diseases. Although methadone maintenance (MM) is highly effective in decreasing heroin use and the spread of HIV, polydrug use, especially the combined use of cocaine and alcohol, is common in MM patients. Alcohol use is independently associated with HIV risk behaviors, and the effects of alcohol use on risk behaviors may vary by gender. This study evaluated the effects of recent heavy alcohol use and gender with respect to HIV risk behaviors in 118 cocaine-abusing methadone patients. Both lifetime and past month …

Humanizing Education In An Age Of Apathy And Greed, Roberto E. Bahruth Nov 2009

Humanizing Education In An Age Of Apathy And Greed, Roberto E. Bahruth

Literacy, Language, and Culture Faculty Publications and Presentations

I want to begin by recognizing that the ideas I will address here may not be recognizable to most, but they are critical to all. I am aware of a long history of people who were persecuted, murdered, dismissed, or ignored because their declarations were not convenient to the power' structures of their day. Galileo was put in jail because his ideas were threatening to the status quo. His integrity required that he be an honest scientist despite the consequences and he would not be silent. I don't claim to be a Galileo, but I would say that a world …


Thio Li-Ann On Free Speech, Social Values And Sustainable Democracy, Knowledge@Smu Nov 2009

Thio Li-Ann On Free Speech, Social Values And Sustainable Democracy, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

It has been two years since Thio Li-ann delivered the parliamentary speech that would thrust her into the epicentre of a nationwide debate. Her arguments for the continued criminalisation of homosexual acts in Singapore earned her both praises and death threats. And it was perhaps this incident that first led her to scrutinise, more deeply than before, the notion of free speech in society. "Equality is a fundamental tenet that we all have, as citizens of a democracy. But what happens if you have a bigger amplifier or a louder voice than I do? Can speech kill speech?" she asked …


Singapore’S Leadership, Circa 2004 - Softer, Gentler, Consultative?, Knowledge@Smu Nov 2009

Singapore’S Leadership, Circa 2004 - Softer, Gentler, Consultative?, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Long before the ‘locals versus foreigners’ debate captured the imaginations of the nation, Singaporeans might faintly remember the ‘stayers versus quitters’ contention, as well as talk of ‘heartlanders versus cosmopolitans’ – milestones that are now neatly documented into a collection of essays, bundled in the book, Impressions of the Goh Chok Tong Years in Singapore. Stories ranging from Singapore’s population decline, bilateral relations and SARS crisis, to interethnic tensions, censorship and civil activism are captured, providing a remarkably wide, stereoscopic (if not nostalgic) peek into a recent past.


Buy Now, Regret Later: Rationalising The Irrational For Shopaholics, Knowledge@Smu Nov 2009

Buy Now, Regret Later: Rationalising The Irrational For Shopaholics, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Why do we buy things that we don't need? One explanation is that it nourishes our consumerist cravings; that inexplicable sense of satisfaction that comes with the ownership of familiar items, but in a different colour, design, brand, smell, taste – things we tell ourselves to celebrate each euphoric ring on the cash register. What follows, however, are questions of doubt that plague even the most seasoned of shopaholics: Can I afford this? Can I really find good uses for this? Can this new car really fix my hair loss? According to a new study by SMU marketing professor Jane …

Housekeeping For Regulators Of Volatile Housing Markets, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

World housing markets have gone through a volatile period of boom and bust, triggering the financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn. While it might be tempting for governments to contemplate on housing bubbles by means of monetary policy or direct controls over housing prices, such moves are far more complicated than it seems. Housing prices are influenced by various factors and governments have a limited handle on them at best. Raising interest affects other sectors of the economy - not just housing. So what can governments do? What should be the ultimate goal of housing policy?


Big Blue’S Next Big Act: Smarter Technology For A Smarter Planet, Knowledge@Smu Nov 2009

Big Blue’S Next Big Act: Smarter Technology For A Smarter Planet, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Everything seems to be going digital – our television sets, phones, the ways in which we communicate with each other, perform transactions or apply for permits – all in the name of pristine pictures, crystal clear sounds, paperless administration and fast, unencumbered access to data – all important features of the good life, for sure. But are we necessarily better off? We could be, given that "digitalisation" allows us to see and do things differently; to be more intelligent than we have ever been before, says IT giant IBM. And it is this belief that underscores the company's worldwide "Smarter …
