Prophets & protest : the transformation of U.S. Christian activism, 1960-2000Pieper, Christopher Monroe 20 August 2015 (has links)
The second half of the 20th century saw the emergence of consequential and diverse social movements inspired by Christian moral commitments, from anti-communism and temperance to Civil Rights and fundamentalism. Few studies, however, have systematically analyzed this important sector of activism adequately, though it lies at the intersection of two vital sociological areas: the sociology of religion and political sociology. This dissertation is the first comprehensive study of Christian activist organizations, creating and analyzing an electronic database of approximately 500 unique Christian social movement organizations along nearly 50 variables including overall population changes, denominational variation, geographic diffusion, tactical repertoires, and issues engaged. Findings indicate that changes originating in religious demographics and culture preceded and led to related changes in American politics, overall in a conservative direction. At a macro level, data also consistently point to a homeostatic, cybernetic effect generating medium-term cultural equilibrium between progressive and conservative Christian activists. At the micro-level, findings illustrate the essential role of cultural entrepreneurs motivated by religious values and identities in redefining, publicizing, and defending the moral boundaries which create and sustain social movements. / text

Politics from the bimah? A qualitative study of reform and conservative Jews in Fort Worth, TexasOsiatynski, Luba Shoshana 01 December 2010 (has links)
Many modern democracies have a hard time dealing with religion. The question of how much religious identity should be respected by government is one that America has spent a great deal of time and intellectual effort on. Because this paper looks at Jewish political communities, it first looks at what kind of religiously-rooted political activism is desirable. It finds that both groups of Jews in this study meet Amy Gutmann’s strict criteria for healthy religious and political entanglement. For the empirical part of this study, Jews have long been of interest to political scientists because their partisan ties are stronger and more uniform than most other groups. This paper looks at how Jewish political identity is shaped by Jewish elite messages in the forum of worship. Earlier studies have shown empirically that there are not substantive systematic differences in the political views of Conservative and Reform Jews. This earlier research has not addressed the issue of differences in Jewish denomination and elite political messages. Specifically, this paper explores the differences in the political tenor of the messages of the leaders in a Conservative Congregation and those of leaders in a Reform Congregation in Fort Worth, Texas. Based on the data collected in nine in-depth interviews with Rabbis, board members, Jewish Federation Executive Directors, and other active community members, this paper looks at how elites express their political views in their respective congregational settings. It finds that elites in the Jewish Reform movement in Fort Worth are more overt in their combination of worship and politics, while Jewish Conservative elites feel less comfortable with politicizing the bimah. / text

EVALUATING NITRATE LEACHING POTENTIAL FOR TWO DIFFERENT HYDROLOGICAL SOIL GROUPS USING A CONSERVATIVE TRACERSaso, J.K. 30 September 2009 (has links)
This research examined field measurements and the HYDRUS 1-D (version 4.12) model to quantify annual movement of NO3-N through two soils of different HSG groups (B and C) using a Cl tracer and examine leaching losses attributed to the winter months (November 2007 – April 2008). Field and model data confirmed potential leaching losses ~ 72% (Cl mass recovery) over these months. Differences in Cl and nitrate-N mass recovery indicated potential N losses via other processes such as denitrification and/or immobilization. The 200 kg N ha-1 treatment was most indicative; site’s B and C had 1% and 9% losses, respectively. Both sites exhibited ~ 96-99 % loss of soil nitrate-N and Cl of the fall-applied N and Cl by September 2008. Monthly crop sampling demonstrated ~ 1% soil mineral-N remained at harvest (November 2008). These findings further support the effectiveness of applying N in the spring than the fall. / M.Sc.

Perceptions regarding medical management of clubfoot in KenyaKingau, Naomi Wanjiru January 2012 (has links)
Magister Scientiae (Physiotherapy) - MSc(Physio) / Clubfoot is one of the congenital and structural conditions that lead to physical impairment in children globally. Service providers have different perceptions on the various methods of management of clubfoot. This has led to adoption of various approaches of management of clubfoot. Although there is a wide range of experiences of parents/caregivers of children with clubfoot regarding medical management of this condition, there is no documented data on these experiences. The study therefore aimed at exploring the perceptions regarding the medical management of clubfoot in Kenya. The objectives of this study were to explore the service providers and parents/caregivers perceptions on the use of the different methods of medical management of clubfoot; explore the process followed before and after the commencement of management from the service providers and parents/caregivers when using surgical and conservative methods of management as well as exploring the barriers and enabling factors that the service providers experience during the management of clubfoot. Methodology: This study was conducted at talipes clinic of Mbagathi District Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital and Kijabe Mission Hospital in Kenya. The study utilized a qualitative design and purposive convenient sampling was utilized to recruit participants. Twenty participants were recruited; the sample consisted of ten parents/caregivers of children with clubfoot and ten service providers. Semi-structured interview and probes were used for data collection, interviews were audiotaped and a research assistant took notes, data was collected until saturation. Data was transcribed verbatim and analyzed by thematic-content analysis. The results indicated that most of the service providers perceived Ponseti method as the most effective method of clubfoot management with early intervention. Surgery was found to be the second most utilized method which was indicated for complex and neglected clubfoot. The factors that affected service providers in clubfoot management included: Shortage of trained staff in Ponseti management, missed diagnosis at birth; poor referral system and poor compliance with treatment appointments. The factors that affected parents/caregivers compliance with the treatment regime included: (i) unaffordable transport expenses; (ii) long distance; (iii) little or no social/family support; culture/tradition and stigmatization while compliance was facilitated by (i) good communication between the parents/caregivers and the clinician; (ii) availability of free services (iii) social/ family support. Conclusion: The current study concluded that medical management of clubfoot was a success while majority of parents/caregivers agreed that they were faced with several challenges as fore mentioned which affected the outcome. Recommendation: the study therefore recommends the need to empower the community and service provider with knowledge on clubfoot and its management. There is also need for decentralisation of services and increase the number of health care givers in health facilities who are trained in clubfoot management. Finally physiotherapy academic institutions need to put emphasis on teaching clubfoot management in order to produce effective service providers.

Origins of the Southern Conservation Revolt, 1932-1940Brophy, William J. 06 1900 (has links)
During the political interlude between Wilson and Roosevelt, the United States was under the leadership of the Republican party which adhered to a conservative philosophy. While this regime continued, conservative southerners were content, but in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, who had campaigned on the need for a "New Deal" was inaugurated President. Although southerners readily accepted the relief and recovery features of the first phase of the Roosevelt program, they opposed his program of sweeping reform because it constituted an impeding threat to intrenched political and economic interests in the South.
