A Study To Establish Criteria For Creating Thematic Literature Units Appropriate To Lds Secondary Schools In The South Pacific, And The Creation Of Three Such Units, Ronald F. Malan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to develop criteria for creating thematic literature units appropriate to the English language facility and to the culture of students in the LDS secondary schools in the South Pacific, and (b) to create three thematic literature units at the Form 5 (11th grade) level which would exemplify the recommended criteria.
An analysis of questionnaire responses revealed that a concept-centered approach to literature should take precedence, with geographical literature—especially Polynesian—also receiving emphasis. Less attention should be given to developing skill in literary analysis, and more focus placed upon systematically reinforcing other language arts …

The Wood And Metal Lamination Process In Jewelry Making, Joseph Dean Bolender

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The problem under investigation was to combine wood and metal using a lamination process. Research was limited to the area of jewelry making. No previous references describing this process could be found. The technical considerations found necessary to successfully use the lamination technique were as follows: 1) Epoxy glue, a resin and a catalyst, is required; 2) the metal surfaces must be roughed up with emery paper to allow for a stronger wood to metal bond; 3) a backing of metal or wood is necessary on large pieces to provide adequate strength; 4) wood and metal parts must be clamped …

Eight Cone Six Glazes For The Electric Kiln, John D. Coiner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis is concerned with the development of eight, cone 6 (2232° F) ceramic glazes to be used in an electric kiln. These glazes were developed from a scientific approach in which the basic formula was calculated on paper. From these base formulas a trial and error approach was taken in which the basic chemicals were then adjusted until the desired esthetic quality and necessary firing dependability were achieved. The eight glazes presented in the thesis provide a wide range of characteristics which make them versatile for use by the craftsman, and also provide base glazes for further investigation by …

Seven Paintings: A Personal Search For An Ethical Consciousness, Dennis Myron Dake

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Success as an artist is dependent on the development of an ethical consciousness. The seven paintings which make up the thesis may reflect this awareness or ethical consciousness. The written comments are included to supplement and amplify the information communicated by the seven paintings of the thesis. The values that make up an ethical consciousness are not absolute, they are constantly being sought. This writing deals with that continuing search. Ethical consciousness is described here as consisting of three basic elements; appropriate attitude development, predisposition to accept the adventure of exploring the unknown, and sensitivity in dealing with all aspects …

Generation Ebb: A Novella, Charlene M. Eblen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Two things essential for the development of experimental science are the cooperation of many workers and the keeping of careful records of their work. A major problem for the experimental scientists of the seventeenth century was the lack of both cooperative effort and systematic records. The scientific work early in this century was scattered, intermittent, and recorded, if at all, haphazardly. The purpose of this paper is to show how Henry Oldenburg, during his first five years as secretary to the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, developed patterns of communication which brought the experimental philosophers together to …

A Personal Solution To The Problem Of Color In Painting: Minimal Or Absent, Charles A. Frelund

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this thesis is to describe verbally a series of personal involvements in painting. These involvements have taken place over a period of nine years and are concerned with seeking solutions to problems which have become apparent by direct and personal experiences. Two major questions which evolved over this period of years form the body of the thesis. The first question was, am I working with a medium which can best reflect my personal aims? The second, could I solve the problems of color within the medium of painting to my own satisfaction? While searching for the answers …

The Journal As Literary Form, William Bingham

English Language and Literature ETDs

The problem with which the dissertation deals is this: does the Journal offer a possible alternative to the conventional novel form in the twentieth century literature. The problem entails a study of the process by which a form meant for purely private uses becomes, through successive steps, a public form of art. The procedure employed involves keeping distinct six different types of Journal. The first and second chapters deal with the problems of making discriminations between these six different types. Out of these distinctions some idea of a tradition in the writing of the Journal can be arrived at, and …

Le Developpement Des Idées Politiques De Francois Mauriac, Marcel Elisee Pichot

Masters Theses

Introduction

Francois Mauriac avait abordJ sa carrière littéraire avec le sentiment d'un rôle spirituel à jouer au sein de sa génération. Le prix Nobel et l'Académie ont couronné le romancier qu'un public nombreux considérait déjà comme l’un des grands écrivains du siècle. Ce succès eût pu suffire à cet homme comblé si le destin de la nation ne l'avait pas fait passer du monde des rêves à l'effroyable réalité de deux guerres qui, à vingt ans d'intervalle bouleversèrent toutes les notions préétablies et secouèrent les illusions traditionnelles qui voulaient que la paix fut une résultante inévitable du progrès scientifique. Mauriac …

A Study Of The Approach To Delinquent Church Members, Carl E. Zahrte

Bachelor of Divinity

One of the most difficult and distressing problems that a minister encounters today is that of dealing with delinquent church members. Those members of a congregation who become lax in their faith through neglect of the means of grace or an evident attitude of indifference in their spiritual life constitute a problem that is not easily solved. Speaking of delinquent or inactive church members, W. F. Crossland asserts: "They constitute a challenge to every church and minister and represent one of the major problems facing the Christian Church. The aim of this study, therefore, has been to examine the extent …

Marxist Humanism In Dialogue With Christianity, Richard Lischer

Master of Divinity Thesis

In this paper I will attempt to follow Garaudy's suggestion, mentioned above, and retain my own Christian perspective. With that factor in mind, plus an obvious limitation of space, much of the Christian doctrine of man will be presupposed.as I investigate Marxist humanism. The goal of this paper is not the isolation of two humanistic concerns but the description and analysis of their intersection.

The Covenant Comes Of Age: A Study Of Jeremiah 31:31-34, Thomas Decker

Master of Divinity Thesis

This paper purposes to determine the historical and theological context into which Jeremiah introduced the concept of the new covenant found only in Jeremiah 31131-34. The Old Testament was acquainted with many covenants at various times; each held a place of importance with subsequent generations in understanding the relationship of Israel to the Kingdom of God. Integral to the thought of this paper is the question, “How was this once-mentioned new covenant of Jeremiah understood by God's people?" The scope of the problem spans the history of the Old Testament and the Christian Church. But this paper limits itself to …

The Interpretation Of Romans 16:17-20 In Ecclesiology, Richard Kraemer

Bachelor of Divinity

In order to set limits of the kind required it is necessary first to examine the text to the best of one's exegetical ability to determine its meaning--and that in the context of the epistle of St. Paul to the Romans. It is equally important to examine- the way in which this text has been subsequently used in the history of the Christian Church. This, indeed, will constitute the bulk of this paper; for the exegetical traditions of interpretation of this passage have a direct bearing on the way it is currently interpreted and will henceforth be interpreted. This is …
