The psychological construct of temptation is understood largely to be the undesirable conflict between short-term urges and long-term ideals. Likewise, the resolution of temptation is thought primarily to be a function of self-control. The common cultural understanding of temptation necessarily involves the notion of evil, including its connotations on a transcendent level. However, the psychological study of temptation largely has excluded religious and spiritual factors, whether examined by social psychology, addiction psychology, or the psychology of religion and spirituality. A more comprehensive conceptualization of temptation is needed to better understand its influence on the human condition. Indeed, temptation necessarily includes not only undesirable, but illicit and transcendent levels of experience. Including the transcendent in the psychological conceptualization and study of temptation would lead to more effective measurement, which would allow a broadened approach to the basic science of temptation and thereby a more inclusive application of temptation in clinical settings. As such, issues related to context and measurement are discussed and a more adequate definition of temptation is proposed. Consequent clinical implications include understanding the valenced expression of temptation and the valenced effect of temptation (on health and prospection). Implications of patients' experiencing transcendent-level temptations are discussed and a case example addressing the dysfunctional effect of transcendent- level temptation in couples therapy is provided.

The Schlumberger array, or Schlumberger, was one of the first resistance arrays to be used to detect buried archaeological features. The early work used fixed probes and widely spaced traverses. Recent simulation work, ýhowever, suggested that the array should give improved resolution and depth penetration over the Twin-Probe array. This thesis is an attempt to operationalise the Schlumberger for use in archaeological prospection. This has been achieved via a co-ordinated use of laboratory simulation and-field studies. Initial fieldwork in England suggested. that the. - use of point electrodes created response patterns that were dependent upon the relative direction of linear targets. This was verified using a simulation tank modified to represent field procedure. The recognition of this response, therefore, required each survey area to be surveyed twice. The re-survey requires the two current probes to be positioned at right angles to the original survey points. The Schlumberger was then used in a battery of methods to investigate the problem of the archaeological interpretation of- small, discrete scatters of ceramic sherds that cover the landscape in Greece. The research has indicated a variation of intra-site patterning that may be significant to the function of these sites. Overall, the results suggest that the relationship between the 'site' and its environment is a complex one, one that can be oversimplified when the ceramic evidence is viewed in isolation. The Schlumberger indicated possible structural elements within some of these sites.

The objective of this thesis is to compare applications of seismic and geoelectric methods and to state recommendations for their application in future geological prospection, especially application of shallow seismic reflection. Another goal was verification of assumed course of tectonic lines and thickness and character of sedimentary infill, which are important for calculation of seismic hazard by actual standards in context with effort of prolonging licence and also expansion of nuclear power plant Dukovany. When selecting locations for survey there was an effort to confirm the position of the Diendorf-Boskovice zone border and fault zones leading through the zone. The survey was done using multi- electrode electrical resistivity tomography, refraction and reflection seismic.
