M.Th. / The counseling' of Jay E Adams must be seen against the background of the rise of the Pastoral Care Movement and, together with it, the propagating of the eductive method of counseling which lays excessive emphasis on the needs of man and the inner potential of man to arrive at a solution of his own problems. Against a humanistic form of counseling, Adams stresses in particular the Scriptures as the counselor's textbook, and the role of sin in human suffering. His counseling has been judged and criticised in various circles, frequently without adequate substantiation or a satisfactory alternative. This dissertation is aimed at researching Adams' counseling thoroughly so that an alternative can be offered from a pentecostal perspective. First a comprehensive exposition was given of the core elements of Adams' counseling, that served as a foundation to discuss the positive and negative criticism of his work. The paradigms underpinning pentecostal thinking in general was also discussed, as the argument in this study was based on a pentecostal framework. Among other things the nature of man, the love and mercy of God, sin and the role of evil were examined. The author feels that no one specific model or technique of counseling can be promoted. Every person and every situation is unique. Therefore every counseling session will also be unique. For this reason it was decided to give guidelines rather than develop a model. Pentecostal counseling was approached from the perspective of systems-thinking and communicative action theory but was also directed by basic assumptions, among other things, that Jesus Christ is the centre of every counseling session (through the operation of the Holy Spirit) and that the congregation as a whole is the object of counseling. Finally the conclusion was reached that pentecostal counseling could definitely find common ground with the counseling of Jay E Adams, with certain adjustments based on pentecostal paradigms.

The real purpose of this study has been to learn something of the nature of evil as perceived by these adolescents, and to discover something of the American reaction to it as perceived by their creators.

The aim of my thesis is to create a procedure for the calculation of con rod stress in MBS Software. The thesis contains several parts, i.e. a short research of contemporary con rods, con rod modelling with the use of Pro/E, methodics of the finite-element con rod model preparation and model analysis in ANSYS Software, creating of virtual combustion engine template with flexible con rod and carrying out a strain hardening analysis in ADAM/Engine software. The theme of my thesis is quite demanding in the combination and the use of several computer software programmes. The thesis offers a survey of possibilities, procedures and methodics of con rod stress solutions that help to clarify the matter.

Studien handlar om utveckling av ett flexibelt klokopplingssystem tillsammans med SwePart Transmissioner AB. Principen bygger på att en hylsa med utvändiga splines belastas i inkopplingsförloppet. Hylsan skapar en axiell rörelse som sedan absorberas av fjädrar vilket utgör flexibiliteten i klokopplingen. Studien besvarar frågorna om vilka samband som finns mellan olika faktorer i systemet och hur dessa påverkar dimensioneringen samt vilka modifieringar som måste göras för att uppfylla funktionskraven. Författarna har gjort ett flertal simuleringar på inkopplingsförloppet med programmet MSC Adams för att generera data som krävs för att kunna dimensionera systemet. Resultatet av varje simuleringsförsök utgörs av plottar med storheter som vridmoment, fjäderkraft och förskjutningar. En analys är sedan gjord för att finna den bästa dimensioneringen av ett antal kandidater av kopplingen samt flera olika förslag på idéer för vidare studier. Det finns flera olika samband mellan de uppsatta faktorerna och en dimensionering rekommenderas.

Watership Down is a work for chamber orchestra in four movements, approximately sixteen minutes in duration. The piece is a programmatic work based on the novel Watership Down by Richard Adams; however, the musical action is not intended to be an aural narrative of the story but, rather, is meant to capture the general mood of the four sections of the novel. The work exhibits the influence of several styles of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century music with the symphonic poem being the genre it most closely resembles.

The thesis map area is located in northeastern Ontario in and west of the Adams Mine site. The Adams Mine produces iron ore and is situated 15 km southeast of the town of Kirkland Lake. Kirkland Lake is the largest population centre in the Kirkland Lake-Larder Lake gold camp. The Adams Mine lies south of this camp. The thesis map area is underlain by volcanics (most of which are komatiitic), clastic, chemical and pelitic sediments and various intrusives (peridotite sills, layered peridotite-gabbro and gabbro sills, discordant gabbro bodies, alkali-rich dykes and diabase dykes. The syenitic Lebel Stock forms the northern boundary of the map area. The map area lies entirely within the Larder Lake Group which forms the lower part of the second major volcanic cycle (cycle II) in the Archean aged Abitibi greenstone belt. The Kinojevis and Blake River Groups overlie the Larder Lake Group north of Kirkland Lake and are also part of cycle II. The Skead Group constitutes the upper most part of cycle I. The top of this group marks the southern boundary of the map area. The fold axis of the Lebel Syncline passes through the northern half of the map area. This fold is isoclinal and has no plunge. The fold axis and the stratigraphy are broadly conformable to the shape of the Lebel Stock. Tight folds with north-south trending axial surface traces and a drag fold occur on the south limb of the Lebel Syncline. The Lebel Syncline and these second-order folds are believed to pre-date Intrusion of the Lebel Stock. The stock may have modified the trend of the Lebel Syncline fold axis so that it and the strata parallel the stock's shape. Five faults with unknown but apparently little displacement were recognized. Faulting is not prominent in the map area. The northern half of the map area has been metamorphosed to the hornblende hornfels facies. This occurred during contact metamorphism following intrusion of the Lebel Stock. Greenschist facies mineralogy is present in the southern half of the map area and developed during an earlier regional metamorphic event. There are eight volcanic sequences on the south limb of the Lebel Syncline. Seven of these are komatiitic. There are three komatiitic sequences on the north limb. Komatiitic sequences are characterized by volcanic flows which show decreases in MgO contents stratigraphically upwards. Komatiites occur at the base of each sequence and are overlain by one or more of high MgO komatiitic basalt, high MgO komatiitic andesite, low MgO komatiitic basalt, low MgO komatiitic andesite, low komatiitic dacite, high A12O3 komatiitic basalt, andesite and dacite and high Fe2O3, Α12Ο3 komatiitic basalt. . Most low MgO komatiitic basalts and andesites on the south limb of the Lebel Syncline have anomously high Cr (>1000 ppm) and Ni (>200 ppm) contents when compared to similar lithologies in other Archean terranes. The high Cr abundances are linked to high chromite contents. Sequences with Cr and Ni-rich volcanics do not contain high A12O3 komatiitic volcanics; the latter have low Cr (approximately 400 ppm) and Ni (approximately 80 ppm) contents. High Fe2O3, Α12Ο3 komatiitic basalt occurs in sequences with high A12O3 komatiitic basalts. High Α120β and high Fe203, Al203 komatiitic basalts are not found in other Archean terranes. Cr and Ni-rich komatiitic volcanics are found in Destor Township in Quebec (within the Abitibi greenstone belt). They are not otherwise found. Sequence 1 basalts are regarded as tholeiitic or calc-alkalic. There are no ultramafic or high MgO flows in this sequence and lithological variation with stratigraphic height is not observed. The high Cr and Ni contents in the komatiitic basalts and andesites are explained by rapid cooling in a magma chamber. This process stops or reduces olivine and chromite crystallization in the magma as it reaches a MgO content of 12 % to 15 %. The residual magma is thus enriched in Cr and Ni. The production of high komatiitic volcanics can also be explained by rapid cooling in a magma chamber. This process lowers the temperature of plagioclase crystallization resulting in A12O3 enrichment in the magma. Many of the sedimentary rocks in the map area are deposits from submarine debris flows and turbidity currents. The flow mechanism is not known for massive sandstones. The presence of conglomerates (debris flow deposits) suggests a proximal depositional environment, using a submarine fan model. The source area is comprised of sedimentary, volcanic and plutonic lithologies. Peridotite sills are believed to syn-volcanic with komatiitic volcanism. Peridotite-gabbro and gabbro sills are likely syn-volcanic with tholeiitic volcanism now preserved in the Kinojevis Group north of Kirkland Lake. The discordant gabbro Intrusions are believed to be syn- volcanic with calc-alkalic volcanism now preserved in the Blake River Group north of Kirkland Lake. Lateral equivalents to both groups may have once overlain the Larder Lake Group but have since been eroded. This is consistent with the fact that higher metamorphic grades prevail south of the Larder Lake Break. The sills and discordant gabbros were emplaced prior to regional metamorphism. The Lebel Stock, syenite, biotite lamphrophyre, feldspar porphyry and diabase dykes were emplaced following deformation and greenschist metamorphism. The alkali-rich intrusions are likely contemporaneous with Archean trachytic volcanism now preserved in the Timiskaming Group. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
