Selected Personality And Motivation Variables Related To Behavioral Commitment To Certain Health Teachings Of Seventh-Day Adventists, Ronald Edwin Ruskjer

Dissertations

Problem. Seventh-day Adventists teach that the practice of certain health habits is essential to optimum spiritual nurture. It is commonly known, however, that a number of Seventh-day Adventist church members fail to practice one or more of these habits. This is a matter of crucial concern to dedicated Adventists in general and health- and faith-professionals of the Adventist persuasion in particular. This investigation was undertaken in order to help such Adventists better understand the phenomenon of health-habit practice. It was the purpose of the present study to discover certain relationships that may exist between the practice of health habits on …

The Cause Of Sobriety : David Lloyd George And Temperance Reform, Philip A. Krinsky

Honors Theses

Temperance was a major British issue after World War I. Excessive drunkenness, not alcoholism per se, was the primary concern of the two parliamentary parties. When Lloyd George enter Parliament the two major parties were the Liberals and the Conservatives. Temperance was neither a problem that Parliament sought to quickly solve nor the single issue of Lloyd George's public career. Rather, temperance remained within a flux of political squabbling between the two parties and even among the respective blocs within each Party. Inevitably, compromises had to be made between the dissenting factions.

Degaulle, The European: 1961-1966, Leonard V. Smith

Honors Papers

This is the purpose of this thesis: to study the ways in which DeGaulle can be thought or as a European, rather than merely a French nationalist, and to examine his vision of Europe. The period selected for investigation extends from the European summit conference of February 1961, to the resolution of the agricultural crisis in May of 1966. Chapter I examines the ideological foundations behind this vision of Europe discussing DeGaulle's political attitude, and his views of the State, the failings of supranationalism, and Europe's relationship to the superpowers. Chapter II will show what happened when DeGaulle tried to …

The Ses And Current Seminary Student Statements: A Descriptive Study, Cory William Bangerter

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to show that the present Student Evaluation of Seminary (SES) provides the seminary teacher with an inadequate estimate of his credibility in the classroom, as perceived by his students. To accomplish this goal, a list of student responses to questions about their seminary teachers was developed and analyzed. The results indicated that not all factors of teacher credibility as perceived by the seminary students were being measured by the SES.

Thirty-one students gave a total of 339 responses to the questions asked by the researcher. A comparison of the student statements to statements in …

The Stimson-Hoover Doctrine: The Bankruptcy Of Moral And Legalistic Diplomacy, Robert A. Jeffrey

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The primary purpose of this thesis was to investigate Richard N. Current's interpretation of the United States' response during the Manchurian Crisis of 1931-1932. The socalled "crisis" broke out in September when the Japanese used an explosion along the South Manchurian Railway at Mukden as an excuse to occupy that city and to move against other cities in Manchuria. The crisis continued into 1932 with the League of Nations failing to take any more effective action than to appoint a neutral commission to investigate the problems in Manchuria between the two belligerents-China and Japan. Throughout the crisis the United States …

The Need For English For Academic Purposes : An Analysis Of Prenominal Modification In Economics, Pat Kamalani Cafferty

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This paper shows the complexity of noun phrases within an academic text and suggests, therefore, the complexity of the reading process that the traditional approach may not cover adequately. In this thesis, we will look at the complexity of the reading and comprehension processes through an analysis of prenominal modification found in Chapter 25 (a chapter chosen at random) of Paul Samuelson’s Economics. Samuelson’s Economics is a basic text chosen for this analysis because of its introductory level vocabulary and concepts and its wide use by students in the areas of Economics, Business, and the like. Although abundant studies have …

An Analytical Study Of Hans Werner Henze's Fifth Symphony, Belinda Gascon

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to present a systematic view of Henze’s stylistic characteristics in areas of form, melodic material and series, rhythm and meter, harmony, texture, and orchestration. The wide range of style exhibited by Henze will be brought to light in this study. Mention of certain stylistic traits in common with other well-known composers, such as Schoenberg, Webern, Stravinsky, and Bartok will be made. Finally, the thesis will show that Henze does not adhere to any strict principle of music composition but allows rather his own innate musical sense and desire for expression to guide him.

Research And Development Of A Music-Movement Syllabus For Gymnasts And Gymnastic Coaches, Pauline Mcmillan Upjohn

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Personal participation in floor exercise choreography and performance, observation of performances by other gymnasts, and conversations 'With other; coaches, and gymnasts· have intensified the author's awareness of a widespread lack of knowledge and understanding about the interpretation and use of music in floor exercise. When choreographing optional floor exercise routines, coaches and gymnasts have difficulty selecting appropriate music, interpreting the music, and choreographing routines to complement the music. Even after routines are finally developed, many of them lack style, originality, amplitude, flow, precision of rhythm and execution, and expressiveness. Many of these qualities are also lacking in the performance of …

A Sociological Analysis Of Criminal Aggression, William H. Rokes

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

After having spent over twenty years as a Police Officer and dealing with deviant and criminally aggressive people on a first hand basis my curiosity was aroused. Why do some people react so aggressively to the same stimuli that other people react calmly to? Why, under the exact same circumstances will one person resort to physical violence and deadly force when the other person may only respond in a verbal manner? Thru these years of dealing with aggressive, psychotic, and deviant people I was assaulted with various weapons both lethal and non-lethal too many numerous times to mention here. Working …

Pound's Use Of Merlin As Persona In The 'Rock Drill Cantos', Caryl J. North

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Ezra Pound wrote Cantos 85 to 95, Section: Rock Drill, while imprisoned in St. Elizabeth’s, a mental hospital in Washington, D.C. This section was first published in 1956, to be followed by the final Cantos (95-109) in 1958. The source for the title Rock Drill was an abstract sculpture cast in gunmetal by Sir Jacob Epstein as part of the Vorticist exhibition of 1915. In Pound’s eyes, this sculpture provided “a central metaphor,... [signifying] his own constant effort to drive home the ideas upon which the right kind of society rests.” In fact, Wyndham Lewis wrote a review of Pound’s …

Limitations Of The Middleman Minority Model Of Ethnic Enterprise, Dorlene C. Russell

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Minorities have evolved through wars of conquest, peace treaties, acts of violence, peaceful migrations and religious conversions. "The genesis of minorities must therefore be sought in the fact that territory, political authority, people, and culture only rarely coincide" (Wirth in Wagley and Harris, 1958:365). The type of minorityhood which is the topic of this paper is one which is closely akin to the concept of pariah people—people on the move who become minorities in their new social environment, yet adapt and prosper (if they survive) often surpassing a variety of other ethnic minorities in the society to which they have …

The Illusion Of Mirrored And Reflective Surfaces, Doug Castenson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The study of mirrored and reflective surfaces has been a fascination of mine for several years. It began with a curiosity in the reflected image from the traditional wall mirror and other mirrored and reflective surfaces. My earliest graduate research concentrated on the illustration of reflected images on a two-dimensional surface. As my work progressed, however, the discovery of new media such as mirrored plexiglass and reflective paints allowed me greater flexibility and introduced the possibility of distorting the perceived mirrored image. Experimentation with these materials indicated the possibility of using the entire surface as a reflective mirror, quite unrelated …

Preparing Classroom Teachers For Their Role In The Participation Theatre Experience For The Primary School Audience, Nancy Norvell Ball

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Participation theatre provides a creative and valuable experience for the primary school child. The attitude and involvement of the classroom teacher can hinder or enhance this experience for the child. The purpose of this study is to describe: A. a five-step process by which a children's theatre company can insure a positive teacher attitude during performance and stimulate the teacher to provide creative follow-up activities in the classroom; and B. the implementation of this process by The Tiddly Winks Players during a pilot project in four Waterloo, Iowa, elementary schools in the spring semester of 1980. The components and goals …

Ascetic Progression, Nancy Bartusch

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The title of my Studio Thesis is Ascetic Progression. My paintings reflect asceticism because they involve a solitary, personal search. The search leads to the unknown, as in a silent, tidal progression. I do not want to paint the things that I know. I may use a certain type of imagery or structure repeatedly as one uses the same language in new composition to express new thought. I am painting blindly in a way. I say blindly, because I want to reach beyond what I know. I may learn it at a later time, but when I paint it, it …

Consequences Of Conquest Upon Roman Political, Social, Economic, Cultural And Architectural Development During And After The Punic Wars, 2nd Century B.C., Deborah Carol Blinka

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The Roman conquest of the eastern Mediterranean (264-100 B.C.) was one of the more important events in Roman history. The expansion of Carthage had been brought to a halt when the genius of the Roman general Scipio enabled the Romans to defeat the Carthaginians decisively on their own ground, at Zama in North Africa. With Carthage subdued, Rome set out systematically forestalling the rise of any potentially dangerous rival in Greece or the Near East. Rome gradually filled the power vacuum left by the disintegrating Hellenistic states and for the first time in history, the whole Mediterranean area was to …

A Strategy For The Presentation Of The Principles Of Christian Stewardship To The Seventh-Day Adventist Churches In South America, Roberto R. Roncarolo

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

In the SDA Church in South America there are deficiencies in three clearly defined aspects of the educative phase of stewardship campaigns: (1) in the unilateral presentation of the doctrine of stewardship, (2) in the methods and procedures used in that presentation, and (3) in the persons that receive the benefits of said presentation. In this project, the problem of how to improve the efficiency of stewardship education is discussed.

Method

The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a series of Christian stewardship meetings that differs from the series now in use in South America in …

Toward The Development Of A Theological Critique Of Church-Growth Principles From A Seventh-Day Adventist Perspective, Terence G. Joshua

Doctor of Ministry Projects

Problem

The Seventh-day Adventist Church perceives itself as having a unique eschatological mission. Numerical growth is an important part of the objective of the SDA Church. To attain this aim, the principles of the church-growth paradigm developed primarily at the "School of World Mission and Institute of Church Growth" at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California, has begun to be incorporated into the North American SDA mind-set.

There is minimal documented theological reflection upon church growth done from an SDA perspective. The analysis of the distinctive issues involved yields some concepts that are theologically consistent and some that are inconsistent with …
