Full textAbstract:
This PhD Thesis studied the sacred geography of Nepal and of pilgrimages to holy places situated at river confluences. I conducted fieldwork between 2000 and 2003 at three famous pilgrimage sites in Southern Nepal: Dev Ghat, Ridi Ghat and Varahakshetra. Pilgrimage at these confluences was particularly interesting because it gave rise to a large gathering of different castes and ethnic groups. Each group was connected to the site through specific (but often) superposing myths, the worship of different deities or the respective performance of rituals that differed in terms of their timing, the officiating persons or the type of offering made. For each of these three places, I studied the festivals, the rituals, the mythology (and the relationship between the Great tradition and the local stories) and I translated the pilgrimage guides utilized by pilgrims coming from all the regions of Nepal and from India.
The study of these places also gave me an occasion to reflect critically on the category of “the sacred”; my attempt was to avoid considering “the sacred” as an ontological, transcendental and non-empirical category, and to see it rather as the result of a construction process that should be understood in terms of society, politics, kinship and territory. The “sacredness” of the confluences of rivers in Nepal did not appear to me as something intrinsic to the place, but rather as a product of ritual action performed there. It seemed more important to me to understand the process of constructing sacredness, than to postulate an a priori sacredness of confluences. Thus, when I speak of the sacredness of a confluence, I mean a place which receives significance and value thanks to a series of rules and prescriptions and, in particular, thanks to the performance of a precise ritual in a given space and at a given time. As a result of these ritual prescriptions, this place is no longer just any section of space, but is specifically marked: a place where cultural norms and ritual rules are inscribed and practised in the landscape.

Full textAbstract:
In this inquiry I focus on the philosophical framework that could guide educational programmes seeking the moral empowerment of students—the systematic development of the capacity to pursue their own intellectual and spiritual growth and to engage actively in the long-term transformation of their communities, two inseparable aspects of a twofold purpose. Moral empowerment, it is proposed, cannot be achieved by raising political consciousness alone or by pursuing moral education as activity isolated from other components of the overall curriculum. The iterative process through which the individual and the environment are transformed is in need of the full force of knowledge. The inquiry draws on the experience of Fundacion para la Aplicacion y Ensenanza de las Ciencias, FUNDAEC, a Band'i inspired organization in Colombia, in order to identify the essential elements of the evolving conceptual framework under consideration. Nurturing understanding is argued to be central to the desired educational process, necessitating a critical examination of the `subject' and the 'object' of understanding, and how the 'process of understanding' is shaped by them. Nurturing understanding must go hand in hand with the development of a number of spiritual qualities. For this to be achieved, the historical view holding science and religion in opposition should give way to the perspective that they are two complementary systems of knowledge and practice. The integration of knowledge into the content of the teaching-learning experience demands that sharp division between the cognitive and the motivational, between reason and faith, be avoided. The concept of 'capability' discussed in relation to both being and doing, is presented as an effective strategy for this purpose, with the potential to overcome certain dichotomies prevalent in educational thought and practice.

Full textAbstract:
Karl Barth (1886-1968) was an ardent defender of the filioque, the doctrine which states that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. Generally, scholarly analysis is restricted to Barth's defence of the filioque in the first half volume of the Church Dogmatics. However, this thesis proceeds on the assumption that a fuller understanding of the filioque in Barth must take into account the genesis and development of the doctrine in his earlier thought. A latent dialectical christocentric pneumatology in the second edition of Romans (1921) provides the material theological support for the doctrine, which subsequently appears in a formal discussion of the filioque in the Gottingen Dogmatics (1924). There Barth speaks of the filioque as a theological analogy of the structure of his developing doctrine of the threefold Word of God. As preaching proceeds from revelation and Scripture, so too the Spirit is to be understood as proceeding from the Father and the Son.Barth continues to defend and apply the filioque in the Church Dogmatics, though the original connection to the threefold form of the Word of God recedes into the background. Instead, the filioque functions systematically both as a theological guarantee of the unity of the work of the Son and the Spirit and as the eternal ground of fellowship between God and humanity. Barth's most mature view of the filioque is construed in dialectical terms whereby the Spirit is understood to be eternally active in uniting and differentiating the Father and the Son. Furthermore, Barth is atypical in the Western filioquist tradition because he refuses to speak of the filioque in terms of a "double procession"; rather, he views the Spirit as proceeding from the common being-of-the-Father-and-the-Son. Barth's stance on the filioque does not result in a form of pneumatological subordinationism, as critics often maintain. Rather, his adoption of the filioque reflects a tendency toward a superordination of the Spirit over Father and Son in a structurally similar way to Hegel's pneumatology. The thesis concludes by pointing to a tension in Barth's thought which in practice tends toward a conflation of economic and immanent Trinity as he reads back into God the problem and confrontation he perceives to exist between God and humanity.

Hastings, W. Ross. "'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/2707.
Full textAbstract:
The extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ. Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person' in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the Cappadocian Fathers and Barth. In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption. Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards. Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit- honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the glory of God is his ontic doxological concern.

Farlow, Matthew S. "The dramatising of theology : humanity’s participation in God’s drama with particular reference to the theologies of Hans Urs von Balthasar and Karl Barth." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/2102.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this project is to investigate the proper response of theology to the Christian God who, as revealed through revelation, is Being-in-act. This project takes seriously the idea posited by Shakespeare, that totus mundus agit histrionem, and upon this stage ‘all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.’ If, then, God’s Being is in act, and as so many have deduced, life and death are enveloped within the drama of everyday, then, might it be possible that our theological endeavours would prosper through a dramatic rendering? In light of this, the project seeks to illumine that it is beneficial for both the Church and society, to realise how drama can be, and is, fruitful for our theological endeavours. God is Being-in-act, and through His revelation, He invites humanity to enter into and participate in His action. In light of the aforementioned, then, theology must contend with the implications for its practices, which, as is being argued, are benefited most through a full embrace of the dramatising of theology. The thesis is situated in the recent movement of our theological endeavours that recognise the profundity of the dramatic and its ability to illuminate God’s action and call to action from theology, the Church and society. Moving forward from the seminal work of Hans Urs von Balthasar, and set forth in the context of the theologies of Balthasar and Karl Barth, this project argues that it is through the dramatising of theology that theology is best equipped to illumine God’s desire for humanity’s participation in His Theo-drama. The dramatising of theology is a natural response to God’s Being-in-act; it is the natural movement of theology’s response to God’s action which calls for an active response on our part. Current examples of today’s theological movement towards the dramatic can be seen in such authors as Max Harris, Trevor Hart, Stanley Hauerwas, Michael Horton, Todd Johnson and Dale Savidge, Ben Quash, Kevin Vanhoozer, Samuel Wells and N.T. Wright. This project hopes to contribute to the movement towards the dramatising of theology.

Martin, Shirley Helen. "Freedom to obey : the obedience of Christ as the reflection of the obedience of the Son in Karl Barth's 'Church dogmatics'." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/762.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that Barth’s asymmetrical structuring of the Trinity in I/1, his doctrine of election in volume II, his concept of the humanity of Christ as the imago Dei in III/2 and his account of the obedience of the Son being reflected in his incarnate life, as detailed in IV/1 and IV/2, are not just coherent but mutually reinforcing. The thesis demonstrates that Barth uses a nexus of crucial terms, including ‘correspondence’ [Entsprechung], ‘reflection’ [reflex/Abbildung] and ‘overflowing’ [Ueberstroemen], to express that God’s actions and relationships ad extra reveal who God is. The concept of ‘correspondence’, tentatively present in the first two volumes, gathers pace through III/2 and achieves full force in volume IV, where the obedience of Christ in IV/2 ‘reflects’ or ‘mirrors’ the obedience of the Son in IV/1. Crucially, the fact that the economic Trinity ‘reflects’ the immanent Trinity, or (differently stated) that the immanent Trinity ‘overflows’ into the economy, establishes a direction, an asymmetry, to the relationship of ‘correspondence’. In ch. II of the thesis we argue that the asymmetry developed in the doctrine of the Trinity in I/1 is the basis for this asymmetric correspondence. Barth describes the triune life as one of giving and receiving existence, suggesting a divine order with an irreversible direction, an asymmetric order. This is shown to be particularly evident in Barth’s defence of the filioque clause which enables him to claim that the Spirit is the one in whom the ruling Father and obedient Son are united ad intra. On this basis we argue, in ch. III, that, when Barth revises his doctrine of election, he comes to see it as the event of triune reflection: the Father, Son and Spirit electing to reflect who they are with a direction of determination, an asymmetry, which is irreversible. In this respect we argue against Bruce McCormack, who sees election as the event in which God elects triunity. In ch. IV we read Barth’s III/2 account of the humanity of Christ as the imago Die, as an attempt to demonstrate that God’s economy of salvation corresponds to who he is. This theme comes into full focus in the first two part-volumes of volume IV, explored here in ch. V. The obedience of Christ reflects, corresponds to, the obedience of the Son. There is obedience in God. This concept, which so mystifies Paul Molnar and Rowan Williams, is shown to be theologically consistent with a doctrine articulated by Barth some thirty years previously: his asymmetrically structured doctrine of the Trinity.

In recent years, high density interconnection (HDI) of printed circuit boards (PCBs) has become an important technology to fabricate multifunction and portable electronic products. Copper plating has been a critical process for fabricating the HDI PCBs with high reliability. Following the trend of multifunction and miniaturization design of electronic products, microvia metallization and plating through hole with high throwing power had increasingly become important in the HDI PCBs. In metallization process, microvia filling and plating through hole with copper electrodeposition, which provided excellent reliability for signal transmission among dielectric layers. Following the increase in the use of electronic components, microvia filling and plating through hole carried out simultaneously which had become the important trend in the HDI PCBs fabricated technology. In this study, we used the electrochemical analysis, simulation and Taguchi experiment design method to study the effect of dual levelers on both of microvia filling and plating through hole. In the electrochemical analysis, the contribution of additives on the plating performance on both of microvia filling and plating through hole were characterized using galvanostatic measurement and cyclic voltammetry at different rotating speeds of a working electrode. In the numerical model for microvia filling and plating through hole, the numerical result showed the relationship between rotating speed of the electrode and convective strength during microvia filling. The other result showed that the reactions of additives combined with the effect of forced convection was proposed herein. It predicted the coverage distribution of additives along the sidewalls of the through holes (THs).In Taguchi method, the copper electroplating formulas composed of CuSO4, H2SO4, chloride ions, polyethylene glycol (PEG), bis (3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (SPS), and different levelers for microvia filling and plating through hole of a PCB were studied. The influence of copper electroplating parameters, accelerator and leveler concentrations and cathodic current density on the plating performance was explored using Taguchi experiment design method. A L9 orthogonal array with four controlling factors at three levels was employed in the experiment design method. And the variance analyses of mean plating performance and signal-to-noise ratio of controlling factors showed each factor was significant or not for the filling performance and throwing power. Taguchi experimental results identifies that the contributions of current density and SPS concentration on both of microvia filling and plating through hole were significant factors. In summary, the strength of forced convection between the via opening and the via bottom is key physicochemical interaction for exhibiting good filling performance. In the preliminary result, the relationship between numerical analysis, electrochemical analysis method and Taguchi experimental design method successfully applied on the development of copper plating technology. Moreover, Plating through hole and microvia filling can be simultaneously achieved to good plating performance in one copper plating bath using dual levelers.

About the through-hole (TH) metallization, to meet the recent requirement of a dense circuit design, the traditional plated through-hole (PTH) is replaced by TH filling plating with copper, which improve the reliability issue caused by resin plug process. However, the geometry of TH cause concentrated current density distribution at the hole mouth, increasing difficulty in TH filling and resulting in a void formation. By using accelerator, suppressor and leveler as plating additive in the copper plating bath, the Butterfly Technology (BFT) was developed to achieve a void-free filling of a through-hole. However, the BFT for TH filling cause an issue of thick copper layer on the PCB surface and the large dimple on the hole mouth, which lead to difficulty in following stacking steps between two layers. Literature has mentioned that triblock copolymers, polymerize by ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, have strong suppression on copper electroplating than common used poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The strong suppressor can minimize surface copper thickness to achieve excellent filling performance. In this study, we introduce a copper filling formula to perform the through-hole filling. Triblock copolymers were employed as suppressors to replace PEG and developed new formula for TH filling. By comparing the through-hole plating experiments and the electrochemical analysis, the relationship between interaction of additives and TH filling were investigated. Relative to using ethylene glycol as a suppressor, the Chronopotentiometry and Cyclic voltammetry results show that using triblock copolymers as suppressors are beneficial to form the difference of deposition rate between hole surface and hole center. And the TH filling has been achieved by using triblock copolymers as suppressors with small amount leveler or without leveler. Corresponding to the plating results, the difference of deposition rate can promote the deposition of copper ions at the hole center preferentially that a thin copper layer is obtained on surface after TH filling and the through-hole is filled without dimple. But the curvature enhance and accumulation of accelerator leads to a copper bump shape deposition.

Full textAbstract:
German textThis dissertation is a selective literary investigation (25 items) by a qualitative social research. It aims on the pastoral training and pastoral care of the Swiss theologian Eduard Thurneysen (1888-1974). His conception of pastoral care was directive within the 20th century in the German speaking Protestant church. In front of this background the pneumatological and spiritual elements are investigated that shape the pastoral approach of Thurneysen, both in theory and in practice. The research design for doing this is an adapted document analysis. For data collection, processing and analysis four different protocols are developed and for each item collected (attachement). In pneumatological and spiritual regard the main results are that Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt shaped and influenced Thurneysen fundamentally. He has been his lifelong example. Thurneysens pastoral approach is analogically characterized by continous prayer and longing for Holy Spirit. In the conclusions of the research results there are fourteen reflections on e. g. sustainability, finality or the ongoing discussion with the social sciences concerning a biblically oriented pastoral care.
