Family Structure Stability And Transitions, Parental Involvement, And Educational Outcomes, Shana L. Pribesh, Jane Smith Carson, Mikaela J. Dufur, Yuanyuan Yue, Kathy Morgan Jan 2020

Family Structure Stability And Transitions, Parental Involvement, And Educational Outcomes, Shana L. Pribesh, Jane Smith Carson, Mikaela J. Dufur, Yuanyuan Yue, Kathy Morgan

Educational Leadership & Workforce Development Faculty Publications

The family environments children live in have profound effects on the skills, resources, and attitudes those children bring to school. Researchers studying family structure have found that children who live with two married, opposite-sex, biological parents, on average, have better educational outcomes than children living in alternate family structures, perhaps due to higher resources, lower stressors, or different selectivity patterns. Socioeconomic stratification plays a major role in family structure, with low-income families seeing more instability. We argue that the impact of family structure is attenuated by transitions in and out of family structures that may decrease a specific resource important …

The Marzeah Festival And The Judgment Of Israel In Amos 6:4–7, Tarsisius Sigho Svd Jan 2020

The Marzeah Festival And The Judgment Of Israel In Amos 6:4–7, Tarsisius Sigho Svd

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

Amos, who addressed his prophecy to the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II, is widely seen as a prophet of social injustice, since the minority wealthy elite groups in Israel were living a luxurious lifestyle at the expense of the poor. However, a close examination of the prophet's words will show that the worship of other gods was also one among other reasons of Israel's judgment by God. This is clear from the passage taken from Amos 6:4–7 that the cultic festival of Marzeah (Amos 6:7) was a direct reason for Israel to be taken exile.

Maturing As Believers Through Interreligious Encounters, Greg Soetomo Sj Jan 2020

Maturing As Believers Through Interreligious Encounters, Greg Soetomo Sj

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

We believe that God is present, actively at work, and reveals Himself in various ways through the religions of humankind. Interreligious dialogue in all its forms can be mutually enriching and can help us in knowing and loving God more and in maturing as believers. It can also promote harmony and facilitate collaboration in building up the human family. The effective pastoral worker is one who is open to God’s Spirit in engaging with people of other faiths, and one who promotes meaningful inter-religious dialogue among peoples on all levels.

Critical Reflection And Pastoral Creativity: The Pilgrim Way Of The People Of God, Christina Kheng Jan 2020

Critical Reflection And Pastoral Creativity: The Pilgrim Way Of The People Of God, Christina Kheng

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

Critical reflection and pastoral creativity are important orientations for mission. They involve being authentically present to a pastoral situation, appropriating relevant data, understanding with mind and heart, evaluating through purifying foundational beliefs, and formulating pastorally-sensitive and creative responses. It is a process that requires pastoral workers to be contemplatives-in-action as lifelong co-learners, connecting more deeply with God, self, others, and the context. This is in turn integral to synodality and communal discernment, and characterizes the pilgrim way of the people of God.

The Contribution Of Pastoral Institutes For An Inculturated And Contextualized Ministry, Paul B. Steffen Svd Jan 2020

The Contribution Of Pastoral Institutes For An Inculturated And Contextualized Ministry, Paul B. Steffen Svd

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

This article focuses on the contribution of pastoral institutes for an inculturated and contextualized ministry in the non-Western local churches. The treated pastoral institutes in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania have played an outstanding role in implementing the communion ecclesiology of Vatican II in their respective local churches by moving towards an inculturated Christian faith and church and a contextualized Christian and ecclesial praxis. By following the Vatican II appeal to read and scrutinize the signs of the times, they played a catalytic function in the local non-Western churches to evangelize and to develop a meaningful ministry and participatory …

The Feminine Spirituality Of St. Teresa Of Avila: Ascending To God By Descending In Humility, Annie Pan Yi Jung Jan 2020

The Feminine Spirituality Of St. Teresa Of Avila: Ascending To God By Descending In Humility, Annie Pan Yi Jung

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

Teresa’s spirituality helps contemporary readers to discover a transcendental path to God – inwardness is not an end in itself; it leads above and is the path toward God. Her writings inspire contemporary readers to reflect on the danger of self-transcendence spirituality, which emphasizes the self’s autonomy and self-sufficiency without dependency on God. Moreover, she helps contemporary Christians to be aware of the peril of self-actualization spirituality, which relies on self-service and selfaffirmation rather than on God’s love and grace.

Spirituality For Eapi: Forming Pastoral Servants With Discerning Hearts, Francisco Machado Jan 2020

Spirituality For Eapi: Forming Pastoral Servants With Discerning Hearts, Francisco Machado

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

This paper articulates how the East Asian Pastoral Institute (EAPI) understands and seeks to foster spirituality. The ideas expressed here are the author’s attempt to convey his own understanding of what good spirituality is and of how EAPI can foster it among its participants. After an introduction about the relevance of spirituality for the formation of pastoral workers, a general definition of spirituality is given. This is followed by a reflection on how some key elements typical of the Asia Pacific context can and should affect our spirituality. The central idea explored in the rest of the paper is that …

Care For Creation And Works Of Mercy, Dennis T. Gonzalez Jan 2020

Care For Creation And Works Of Mercy, Dennis T. Gonzalez

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

In this age of disquiet owing to climate change and contemporary ecological-social calamities, a pastoral Church needs to form servantleaders who can be imaginative practitioners of ecological works of mercy, or who can sow seeds of the New Creation, which reveals the freedom, fidelity, empathy, and eco-social responsibility and maturity of God's sons and daughters in Christ.

Toward Effective Mission In Asia Pacific Today: Key Orientations For Pastoral Workers And Implications For Formation, Christina Kheng Jan 2020

Toward Effective Mission In Asia Pacific Today: Key Orientations For Pastoral Workers And Implications For Formation, Christina Kheng

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

The current context of Asia Pacific, viewed in the light of foundational principles for the Church’s mission, requires pastoral workers to develop certain key orientations for effective ministry today. These include spiritual depth and maturity, Christ-centeredness, personal integration, meaningful communion with the ecclesial body, proactiveness in mission through life-giving dialogue, and pastoral discernment and creativity. In association with this, greater collaboration is needed in the initial and ongoing formation of pastoral workers so that the Church’s mission in Asia Pacific will be more effective in these times. It is hoped that this article will provide food for thought toward the …

The Contribution Of Daniel Madigan’S Theological Insights To Interreligious Dialogue In Indonesia, B. Christian Triyudo Prastowo Jan 2020

The Contribution Of Daniel Madigan’S Theological Insights To Interreligious Dialogue In Indonesia, B. Christian Triyudo Prastowo

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

Interreligious dialogue has three interrelated dimensions: an interreligious dimension (mutual relationship), a dialogical dimension (effective communication), and a confessional dimension (deepening of faith and cooperation). This essay explores how Madigan’s theological reflection on dialogue with Muslims fits within those dimensions. Through descriptive-analytical and reflective-dialectical approaches, this essay concludes that the three interrelated dimensions of interreligious dialogue explain the holistic view of Madigan’s theological reflection. It is very useful for Christian-Muslim dialogue in Indonesian context. Two important contributions are the relevance of the dialogue of repentance and the approach of mutual hospitality in theological dialogue with Muslims. This is the kenosis …

Predicting The Persistence Of Traditional And Nontraditional University Undergraduates Using The Psychosociocultural Model, Lauren Maroon Jan 2020

Predicting The Persistence Of Traditional And Nontraditional University Undergraduates Using The Psychosociocultural Model, Lauren Maroon

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

Nontraditional students are increasingly more common in higher education but have lower persistence rates than their traditional peers. While educational researchers have developed several models to predict college persistence using both cognitive (e.g. entrance exam scores) and noncognitive (e.g. academic motivation) factors, most of these models were created for traditional students. The psychosociocultural (PSC) model was created to better predict academic outcomes specifically for underrepresented students using psychological, social, and cultural factors. However, the PSC model has never been used to study nontraditional students. To address these limitations, this study used the PSC model to predict the persistence of traditional …

Refining The Data Collection Methodology Of Outdoor Forensic Scenes Involving Scattered Human Remains Using Close-Range Photogrammetry, Megan Mccollum Jan 2020

Refining The Data Collection Methodology Of Outdoor Forensic Scenes Involving Scattered Human Remains Using Close-Range Photogrammetry, Megan Mccollum

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

The documentation of outdoor forensic crime scenes involving human remains poses multiple challenges to law enforcement officials documenting the context of the scene. More rigorous protocols for the documentation of these scenes are needed, and recent advances in technology open up the possibility of three-dimensional (3D) documentation of the scene. More commonly used in archaeological contexts, close-range photogrammetry (CRP) creates reliable 3D models through triangulation of overlapping points between multiple photographs. This documentation technique allows for the preservation of the entire 3D context and the virtual manipulation without evidence destruction. However, CRP has only been preliminarily used in the field …

The Physical Properties Of Asteroids, Leos Pohl Jan 2020

The Physical Properties Of Asteroids, Leos Pohl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

The Small Bodies of the Solar System are leftover material from the formation of planets. Compared with planetary bodies, they have undergone little transformation. Embedded in their physical properties, they provide clues to the conditions and processes that took place since the condensation of the Solar Nebula. Furthermore, asteroids are sources of raw materials that are becoming more costly to obtain from the interior of the Earth. The possibilities of extracting those materials has become a topic of significant interest. In this dissertation, I explore several properties of asteroid material: strength of asteroids, their shielding properties against high energetic particles …

Workplace Stress And Sleep Quality: The Differential Moderating Effects Of Problem- And Emotion-Focused Coping, Wheeler Nakahara Jan 2020

Workplace Stress And Sleep Quality: The Differential Moderating Effects Of Problem- And Emotion-Focused Coping, Wheeler Nakahara

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

Research on coping has provided consistent evidence that emotion-focused coping strategies tend to have negative ramifications for well-being, whereas problem-focused coping strategies tend to promote well-being. However, there is little research that examines how these two types of coping strategies impact stressor-sleep quality relationships. Therefore, the current thesis included two studies that utilized Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) conceptualization of coping as either problem-focused or emotion-focused to test the impact of those coping strategies on stressor-sleep quality relationships. The first study was cross-sectional and investigated the effect of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping on the relationship between workload and sleep quality, and …

Pixelated Scapegoat: False Connections Between Video Games And Violent Crime In America's Largest Cities, Matthew Segal Jan 2020

Pixelated Scapegoat: False Connections Between Video Games And Violent Crime In America's Largest Cities, Matthew Segal

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

For too many years, the public perception of violent crime has been viewed through the warped lens of media representations and reporting of mass killings, the likes of Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland, while ignoring the body counts that rack up year after year in America's own cities. Many pundits and politicians declare cultural decay and glorification of violence in video games as the main reason for mass shootings. However, these same voices fail to take the explanation any further to explain the eruptions of violence that rack up thousands of lives a year in large metropolitan areas. The question …

Pervasive Spectrum Sharing For Improved Wireless Experience, Mostafizur Rahman Jan 2020

Pervasive Spectrum Sharing For Improved Wireless Experience, Mostafizur Rahman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023

Spectrum sharing among cellular users has been a promising approach to attain better efficiency in the use of the limited spectral bands. The existing dynamic spectrum access techniques include sharing of the licensed spectrum bands by allowing other 'secondary' users to use the bands if the licensee 'primary' user is idle. This primary-secondary spectrum sharing is limited in terms of design space, and may not be sufficient to meet the ever-increasing demand of connectivity and high signal quality to improve the end-users' wireless experience. The next step to increase spectrum efficiency is to design markets where sharing takes place pervasively …
