Olavus Petri's Polemic Against Monasticism: A Translation With Critical Notes, Margaret Mary King

Masters Theses

Olavus Petri (1493-1522) is considered one of the primary figures of the Swedish Reformation during the reign of King Gustav Vasa (1523- 1560). Olavus Petri's polemical writings, dating from 1527 through 1528, are particularly significant in relation to the 1527 Recess and Ordinance of Vasteras which deprived the church of its substantial political and economic powers and privileges. The importance which the King and reformers attributed to control over and termination of the monastic and mendicant orders in Sweden is evidenced by Olavus Petri's treatise, En liten bok i vilken klosterleverne forklarat varder, printed November 13, 1528. This document, which …

Historical Consideration Of F. C. Baur: His Life, Works, And Theological Thought, Especially In Regard To His Church History And Historical Theology, Steven N. Goetz

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis examines and evaluates F.C. Baur's philosophical and theological ideas as they relate to the writing of Church history and historical theology. The study is undertaken within the context of the problem of the relation between faith and history, which can be stated in more relevant categories for Church historiography as the problem of the relation between subject (faith) and object (history), and proposes that Baur's thought on this problem can be useful for the modern faith/history debate, and especially for the consideration of writing Church history.

An Experimental Model Using Dance Training As Therapy For Women Over Thirty Five, Thelma J. Lofquist

Dissertations and Theses

The intent of this study was to use an experimental model to investigate the use of dance training for improving the self-esteem of women over the age of 35.

Sixteen women over the age of 35 were taught jazz dance over a 10 week period. A pre and post test of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale was used on both a dance group and a no dance group. It was hypothesized there would be positive changes in three of the 10 scores in the TSCS for the dance group, but not for the no dance group. The scores predicted to …

Changes In My Images From 1977 To 1979, Sandra Rothfork

Art & Art History ETDs

During the period from 1977 through 1979 my pictorial images have undergone a gradual, but ultimately radical, change in appearance; though the philosophical sources for the paintings have remained the same. Using phenomenological and Buddhist definitions for samsara (constant change) and maya (appearance and reality) as the ideational basis for my images, I initially used a photorealistic technique. Finding epistemological problems with this method, I have recently used an abstract expressionist style. I have also replaced glass with water as a metaphor for consciousness. In painting water I have been influenced by the work of Joseph Raffael and Clyfford Still. …

Early Strains Of American Romanticism: Crevecoeur, Barlow And Odiorne, Bradley S. Hayden

English Language and Literature ETDs

Romanticism as a scholarly term is inherently ambiguous. Yet a study dealing with certain American cultural traits during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries cannot afford not to allude to romantic concepts. J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, Joel Barlow and Thomas Odiorne did not consider themselves "romantics"; the use of the term as a scholarly device is relatively recent. One can, however, perceive the germs of much of American romanticism in selected of their works.

Union Activity In The Gallup Mines, 1933-1935, Harry Richard Rubenstein

History ETDs

The topic discussed is the National Miners' Union activity in the Gallup, New Mexico, coal fields between 1933 and 1935. The union, a member of the Communist party's Trade Union Unity League, began its organizing drive in Gallup soon after the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933. By August 1933, the NMU had organized locals in the region's largest mines and called a strike for union recognition. Immediately the governor declared martial law. The strike, settled with federal mediation, was inconclusive. The NMU achieved agreements with two companies and shared union membership in the other mines with …

George Orwell's Exploitation Of Two Propaganda Techniques In Animal Farm And 1984, Linda Ann Ramsey

English Language and Literature ETDs

Two recurring patterns in George Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984 are counted and analyzed in relationship to Orwell’s theme: in Animal Farm, a passive phrase with the agent deleted and replaced by “it”, and in 1984, a negative pattern beginning with “it.” These patterns are shown to e typical of propaganda. The effectiveness of passive and negative patterns as propaganda is explained through a discussion of psycholinguistic research on comprehension time. These patterns are shown to work as propaganda in the fictional worlds of the novels. Orwell’s interest in propaganda and style are reviewed, and his ironic intent in Animal …

A Survey Of Adolescent Reading Habits And Influences : A Study In Selected Parochial Secondary Schools, Sylvia J. Davis

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Adolescent literature, written by authors with a concern for the illiteracy in the United States, and read by students growing in their ability to comprehend life, is a vital link in the personal exploration and adjustment needed by young persons as they proceed into adulthood. Many polls have been conducted by teachers and librarians to learn which authors and topics are meaningful to the young student at the secondary level. It is hoped that this study might assist the teacher in understanding the reading habits of students in a parochial atmosphere by providing a background to evaluate assignments given and …

The Effects Of United States Inter-American Policy On U.S. Relations With Chile, 1958-1978, Michael Hunter Brown

History Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is an examination and explanation of United States relations with Chile from 1958-1978. The policy of U.S. opposition to the Chilean left, especially during the government of Marxist Salvador Allende from 1970-1973, and support of anti-Marxist forces in Chile, which included a repressive military dictatorship established by a coup in 1973, reflect the overall themes of anti-Marxism and protection of American economic interests inherent in U.S. global and inter-American policy since the Second World War. The major sources of information for this study are reports from investigations and hearings conducted by the United States Congress, especially Covert Action …

Norfolk In The First World War, Stephen Paul Nasca

History Theses & Dissertations

World War I brought the military establishment in the form of bases and service personnel to Norfolk. Because of Norfolk's close proximity to the various military bases, recruiting for the various branches of the Armed Forces was carried on very diligently. Those Norfolkians who did not volunteer for one of the services, or were not drafted, were encouraged to join the Norfolk Home Guard.

To build the military bases and to work in the various government plants, thousands of workers were needed. This demand for laborers strained Norfolk's public transportation, health, and social services as well as housing accommodations and …

Introducing The Secondary Student To Sculptural Design And Form In Metal: Welding Sheet Steel Using The Oxyacetylene Torch, Philip John Smith

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis deals with the application of simple oxyacetylene welding techniques to the secondary art curriculum. Welded sculptural forms in sheet steel have been the focus of my own work during the past three years and these experiences formed the basis or background of the presentation of these skills to secondary students. An instructional unit was designed to fulfill three primary objectives. First, to familiarize the student with the basic tools and materials used in the construction of welded steel sculpture; second, to introduce the student to the creative concepts involved in the creation of sculptural form; third, to give …

The Isolation Of An Individual: Thomas Mann's Tonio KröGerR, Thomas Richard Survilla

Dissertations and Theses

Thomas Mann, early in life, felt himself to be "different" from others around him and "isolated" from the normal life that others enjoyed. He attributed these feelings to what he felt was his descent from a sound Bürger life to unsound Künstlertum.

These feelings of guilt and suffering prodded Mann into applying his introspective artistic techniques to his own condition. He examined his own life, considered his own world and his relationship to it, and came to certain conclusions. Many of Mann's works are therefore not "fiction" at all; he himself once stated that all of his works were autobiographical.

Female Roles In The Fiction Of Silvina Bullrich, Erica Frouman-Smith

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

Silvina Bullrich's literary career spans over four decades and covers every genre except theatre. She is considered a national institution in Argentina where her fame rivals that of her former mentor, Jorge Luis Borges. Despite her national renown, Bullrich often has been condemned by critics who base their judgments on non-literary criteria. In the United States, recent doctoral dissertations have considered Bullrich as part of a group of either political or women writers. There are no existing studies that regard her alone and as a portrayer of women. The author's abundant production though is devoted principally to the problems of …

A Critical And Exegetical Analysis Of Exodus Twenty-Four With Special Attention To Covenant Ratification, Peter Talia

Doctor of Theology Dissertation

The discussion employed in this treatise, first, sets forth the original text of Exodus 24 in its original languages, in order to present the evidence for the traditional view and to test it by an examination of these languages. This rather fresh procedure has been done in order to put the case in its most favorable light, reduce the limits of uncertainty proportionally in favor of the traditional view and support the originality and integrity of the chapter in question. In this way the internal tests of the trustworthiness of these texts will be exhibited and the historic character of …

Mutiny On The Bounty : California Newspaper Reaction To Wpa Strikes In July 1939, Lawrence D. White

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

What would be the reaction of American citizens to welfare recipients striking against the government which aided them?

In July, 1939, over one hundred thousand Works Projects Administration (WPA) workers protested a change in working hours and salary by striking. WPA, created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935, was an attempt to aid the unemployed through work relief programs. Earlier New Deal efforts at work relief, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and Civil Works Administration (CWA), had not succeeded in meeting the demands of able-bodied, but idle workers.

WPA, however, faced a major problem that would recur throughout …

The Theory Of Contraries In Robert Frost's Narratives, Peggy E. Wahlen

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Robert Frost's theory of contraries pervades both his short, lyric poems and his longer, narrative poems. This theory, which is the idea that life consists of two opposing elements, is recognized by the critics to be one of the most common themes running through his lyric poems. However, the narrative poems are almost exclusively approached critically from the standpoint of form and style.

This thesis shows that the theory of contraries is an important concept in the narratives. The framework of Frost's theory has been applied to three areas pertinent to his treatment of the men and women in his …
