This project examines the contribution of Alistair Knox (1912-1986) to the development of an integrated approach to built form in the Australian landscape. Knox is renowned for his environmental building work in the Eltham area of Victoria during the second half of the twentieth century. This work responded to a unique set of circumstances involving postwar shortages of building materials, the prior history of earth building in the region, the existence and tradition of artistic communities challenging conventional practices, and the search for an appropriate landscape and architectural response to Australian conditions. Knox contributed articles to newspapers and magazines, gave numerous speeches and wrote three books, which describe his environmental building philosophy and the Eltham community. / The organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Burley Griffin are considered as possible influences on the development of Knox’s integrated architecture and landscape approach, along with the landscape qualities of Eltham, and the unique artistic community living there. The work of Knox is also considered against the Australian post World War 2 climate of change, characterised by a growing appreciation of Australian plants and concern for the environment. / This research comprised a content analysis of the three books written by Knox to distinguish his influences, values and philosophies. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to Knox’s impact on the development of an Australian landscape design ethos.

A presente pesquisa de doutorado tem por finalidade a análise do pensamento político dos principais reformadores que sucedem a Calvino, John Knox e Théodore de Bèze, os primeiros a romperem com a ambiguidade de Calvino quanto ao direito da lícita resistência política aos governos tirânicos, no ano de 1554, e que inauguram a tradição do constitucionalismo calvinista, ao privilegiarem o primeiro uma fundamentação bíblica quase exclusiva e o segundo um forte apelo para fontes seculares, ambos visando à identificação do fenômeno da tirania e a respectiva solução para o problema pela via da teoria constitucional das magistraturas inferiores. Em seus escritos dispersos, especialmente nos tratados publicados em 1558 em Genebra e posteriormente em sua História da Reforma Escocesa, na qual é narrada a primeira aplicação prática da teoria das magistraturas inferiores em um Estado-nação a protagonizar uma reforma e revolução calvinista, John Knox desenvolve sua teoria acerca do direito de resistência com estrita observância das Escrituras, em especial as narrativas do Antigo Testamento, das quais extrai uma legalidade bíblica, e compara suas exortações às dos antigos profetas bíblicos quanto ao dever de combater as tiranias com a ação dos magistrados civis apoiados pelo povo. Em Théodore de Bèze, o foco será a abordagem secularizada do fenômeno da tirania, sem prejuízo de uma compatibilidade com as Escrituras, remetendo à construção teórico-conceitual do fenômeno da tirania do jurista medieval Bartolo de Sassoferrato tirania ex parte exercitii e tirania ex defectu tituli e identificar na sua principal obra política Do Direito dos Magistrados (1574) os meios humanos de combate à tirania, os Estados Gerais e os magistrados inferiores, instâncias incumbidas das funções militares e judiciais, graças a um contratualismo secular, amparado em precedentes na história profana extraídos da Antiguidade Clássica, Idade Média e da época do próprio Bèze. Por fim, pretende-se identificar o legado desses autores nas revoluções calvinistas e em autores relacionados a tais eventos: a revolta nos Países Baixos e Althusius, a Revolução na Inglaterra e John Milton (ainda que rompesse com o calvinismo, em termos de teoria política, operou em suas obras com teses de Calvino, Knox e Bèze); a Revolução Norte-Americana e a organização política proposta pela Constituição do novo país defendida por Publius (Alexander Hamilton, James Madison e John Jay) e a introdução no sistema jurídico-político brasileiro dessa tradição pelo calvinista Rui Barbosa (não por razões religiosas mas sim por seu projeto liberal, manifestado sobretudo em seus escritos políticos, no Decreto Federal nº 1 de 15 de Novembro de 1889 e em seu papel desempenhado no projeto da Constituição de 24 de Fevereiro de 1891). Objetiva-se apontar, no bojo dessa tradição, a ambiguidade do pastoreio, que privilegia a ação política efetiva pelos magistrados inferiores em detrimento do protagonismo político do povo, que seria posto numa situação de tutela, o que pouco contribui para que se aceite sem maiores receios o celebrado lugar-comum da contribuição do calvinismo para o desenvolvimento dos regimes democráticos no Ocidente. / This research aims to analyze the political thought of the leading reformers succeeding Calvin John Knox and Théodore de Bèze who are also the precursors of breaking up with Calvins ambiguity concerned to the lawful right of political resistance against tyrannical governments, in 1554. They started the tradition of the Calvinist constitucionalism by privileging, the first, an almost exclusively biblical foundation, and the second, a strong appeal to secular sources; both attempting to acknowledge the tyranny phenomenon and its solution by the constitutional doctrine of the lesser magistrate. In his writings, especially the treatises published in Geneva, in 1558, and the History of the Scottish Reformation, in which he approaches the first practical application of the doctrine of the lesser magistrate in a nation-state protagonist of a Calvinist reformation and revolution, John Knox develops his theory about the right of resistance under strict observance of the Scriptures mainly the narratives of the old Testament, of which he extracts a biblical legality comparing his own exhortations about the duty of fighting tyranny through the action of lesser civil magistrates supported by the people to the old prophets exhortations. In the other hand, Theodore de Bèze focuses the secularized approach to the tyranny phenomenon, considering the compatibility with the Scriptures, when referring to the theoretical and conceptual study of the tiranny phenomenon by the medieval jurist Bartolo de Sassoferrato tiranny ex parte exercitii e tiranny ex defectu tituli. Through his main political work, Du Droit des Magistrats (1574), Bèze also identifies the human resources to figth tyranny, the General States and the lesser magistrates the instance in charge of military and judicial functions, due to a secular contractualism, supported by precedents in the profane history from Classical Antiquity and Middle Age, as well as contemporarily to Bèze. Finally, it is intended to acknowledge the legacy of these authors in the Calvinist revolutions and in other authors related to those events: the Dutch revolt and Althusius; the English revolution and John Milton (even having broken with Calvinism, in his studies Milton considered Calvin, Knox and Bèze in terms of political theory); the North-American revolution and the political organization of the Constitution defended by Publius (Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay); and the introduction of this tradition in the Brazilian legal and political system by the Calvinist Rui Barbosa (not due to religious purposes but because of his liberal project manifested on his political writings, the Federal Decree 1 of 15th November 1889 and his role on the project of the Constitution of 24th February 1891). It is intended to point out, in the midst of this tradition, the ambiguity of the pastorate, which favors the political action of lesser magistrates over peoples political protagonism, submiting people to a guardianship relation, what definitely does not help to accept without further concerns the celebrated commonplace of Calvinisms contribution to the development of democracies in the West.

The proper location of residential housing sites within large areas requires preliminary investigations of soil conditions. It is possible to process for engineering purposes the information contained in geologic and pedologic maps and reports. In this way, adverse site conditions, such as flooding, frost action, expansion and shrinkage of soils, which are currently causing widespread failures in residential developments, might often be avoided. This study is concerned with the rating of the soils in Knox County, Tennessee, as to their suitability for residential locations based on information contained in a Soil Survey Report of Knox County, field investigations, and laboratory testing. For this, the soils of Knox County are grouped into eight groups; namely, recent alluvial soils, old alluvial soils, recent local fluvial soils, old local fluvial soils, soils in sinkholes, soils shallow to bedrock, soils deep to bedrock, and unclassified soils. Each of these groups possesses characteristic engineering features. The poor hydrologic position of alluvial soils, recent local fluvium, and soils in sinkholes renders them unsuitable for residential housing. In addition, the soils shallow to bedrock and the unclassified soils are considered as being of limited suitability. Other groups are generally favorable for the location of residential housing. Each of the soils in each of the groups is rated as to its suitability with respect to foundations, access roads, and individual absorption field sewage disposal systems. This rating is based on soil properties and test results. Suitability ratings of “favorable”, “conditional”, and “unsuitable” are adopted for rating the Knox County soils, but the pedologic names and map symbols are retained for the identification of each soil unit. This enables the engineer to interpret the Soil Survey Reports and Maps for engineering purposes, to locate engineering soil boundaries from those on pedologic maps, and to prepare engineering soil maps. / Master of Science

The Knoxville Sessions, 1929-1930: Knox County Stomp gathers together, for the first time, all the issued recordings made at the St. James Hotel, remastered from the original 78s-some of them so elusive that only single copies are known to exist. These 102 fascinating performances, on four CDs, are accompanied by a 156-page, LP-sized hardcover book containing essays on the history of Knoxville, the background to the sessions, and the individual artists, much of the material based on new research. The book is also filled with scores of rare photographs, many previously unpublished, as well as complete song lyrics and a detailed discography with 250 illustrations. / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1168/thumbnail.jpg

Taiwan Island is surrender by ocean; the ninety percent of raw material for economic development depends on sea transportation. Thus, it is important to keep sea line of communication for using without any obstruction. As known, the most serious threat to sea line of communication of Taiwan is from submarine of PRC. However, the KNOX class frigate is the warship which is designed for ASW especially by USN. She is still the major ASW ship for Taiwan navy so far. For this reason, the officers working on the KNOX is the main objective to this case study for relationship between the job satisfaction and turnover intention. Consequently, the recommendation according to the study conclusion was provided. The method was used in this study were theory review, questionnaires, and statistics analysis which covered t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and regression analysis. Accordingly, the study results are follows, A. The job satisfaction of officers was moderate and they were also precious to the current job without significant turnover tendency. B. For the demographic aspect, unexpectedly, female officers had higher job satisfaction than male ones. Unmarried officers had higher job satisfaction than married ones. The age between 26 and 30 years old officers had lower job satisfaction than others. C. The most significant influence of key factors on job satisfaction were career expectation, job perspective, fair reorganization, motivated strategy, and military culture. D. The negative relation was resulted from the job satisfaction and turnover intention of the KNOX officers.
