Full text

Abstract:

Previous work conducted by Kushiyama (2010) identified a relative gravity profile with an abnormal anomaly across a normal fault. The relative gravity should have decreased when crossing from the upthrown side to the downthrown side. Additional relative gravity data were collected and incorporated with the existing data to create an improved gravity anomaly map. The map shows that the gravity generally increases from the southwest to the northeast in the study area. In two areas where profiles cross the fault at nearly a perpendicular angle, the fault is clearly visible and interpretable from the gravity data. However, along Chris Road, that is not the case. This is most likely caused by an underlying salt ridge (Varvaro, 1958). The mobilization of this salt upwards through more dense strata might be the cause of the low gravity effect of the upthrown side of the fault along Chris Road.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis studies the London parish church of St Dunstan in the East on the eve of the Reformation, from c.1450 to c.1537, starting with the recreation of the medieval church fabric, continuing with an analysis of the different branches of the parish management system, examining three kinds of parish endeavours and, finally, looking at aspects of devotion and commemoration in a London parish setting. Based upon documentary, cartographic and visual evidence, the medieval church building and the surrounding churchyards are discussed as well as the spaces within the church and the types of activities that occurred within them. In addition, a brief look at the history of the parish and church is examined. The parish church was a large corporate body dependent upon various staff members to carry out their specific duties. The roles and contributions of the rectors, curates, churchwardens, vestry members, other clergy, the parish clerks, sextons and the anchorite are studied to consider how they worked together towards carrying out administrative tasks, providing for the spiritual care and liturgy for parishioners as well as for other people who worshipped at the church. Some of the distinctive provisions at the church are examined to include, firstly, a sophisticated musical programme and its influences; secondly, a school with evidence for education and for those who taught the children; and thirdly, the church's holy day celebrations and devotions that includes the feasts of SS Dunstan and Ursula, and Easter week. Chantry and anniversary commemorative foundations, and the associated religious services, are studied separately by analysing both perpetual and fixed-term foundations and how they were practised in a London parish setting. This includes an examination of the founders, the foundation process, the roles played by the church managers, family members and livery companies.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is an historical analysis of the History of St. Margaret’s Anglican Parish, situated in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. While documenting the history of the parish since its establishment in 1942, it also critically examines its response to the socio-political changes the country was going through such as the Group Areas Act and in so doing, determines the extent of its own transformation. St. Margaret’s was not the first Anglican parish in Parow. An Anglican presence existed in Parow since 1900 with St. John the Baptist being the first parish along with an Anglican primary school, namely Glen Lily. The Anglican parishes of Parow were profoundly affected by apartheid, especially the Group Areas Act which completely changed the landscape of the town and the roles of the parishes. It led to the deconsecration of St. John’s and the closure of Glen Lily Primary school. The church building survived, but the school was completely demolished. St. Margaret’s did became an independent parish, but faced many challenges as it struggled to cope with the call from the Anglican Church to become agents of reconciliation while Archbishop Tutu called for sanctions against South Africa and seemingly supported the armed struggle. Despite the unhappiness with the Archbishop’s call for greater commitment to the abolition of apartheid, the congregation did in time find its own metier.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studiestuk bied ‘n historiese analise van die Geskiedenis van die St. Margarets Anglikaanse Gemeente wat in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad geleë is. Terwyl die geskiedenis van dié gemeente sedert sy ontstaan in 1942 gedek word, word daar ook krities gekyk na die reaksie op die sosio-politiese veranderinge wat die land ondergaan het, soos die Groepsgebiedewet, waardeur ook die omvang van die gemeente se eie transformasieproses bepaal is. St Margarets was nie die eerste Anglikaanse-gemeente in Parow nie. Reeds sedert 1900 het St John the Baptist as eerste gemeente bestaan, tesame met ‘n Anglikaanse primêre skool, Glen Lily. Die Anglikaanse-gemeentes van Parow is deeglik geraak deur apartheid, veral die Groepsgebiedewet wat die voorkoms van die dorp en die rol van dié gemeentes totaal verander het. Dit het tot die sekularisering van St Johns en die sluiting van die Laerskool Glen Lily gelei. Die kerkgebou het behoue gebly, maar die skool is heeltemal gesloop. St Margarets het ‘n onafhanklike gemeente geword, maar het nog verskeie uitdagings in die gesig gestaar in sy stryd om te voldoen aan die oproep van die Anglikaanse Kerk om agente te word vir rekonsiliasie, terwyl Aartsbiskop Tutu gevra het vir sanksies teen Suid-Afrika en oënskynlik die gewapende stryd ondersteun het. Ten spyte van die ongelukkigheid wat die Aartsbiskop se oproep om groter toegewydheid aan die afskaffing van apartheid veroorsaak het, het die gemeente mettertyd haar eie métier gevind.

Full text

Abstract:

The role of urbanization in the history of civilization is a profound and intricate part of human geography. By utilizing socioeconomic data and then integrating it with more technological innovations, such as remote sensing, the spread of sprawl and the urban corridor can better be mapped and quantified by researchers. Many different types of socioeconomic data were implemented in addition to the remotely sensed data. In this paper, six Landsat 5 TM images were used to create land cover classification maps of the developed or built-up land in St. Tammany Parish from 1984 to 2008. It was found that, in addition to St. Tammany expanding in population, the urban areas are becoming denser using a method called the"remote method." This method is an advanced function of density that allows researchers to estimate consumption of the developed land.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the impact that the petrochemical industry has had on the built environment of Norco, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana. Previous scholars have suggested that heavy industry in Norco consumes a majority of the Mississippi River's natural levee, which is the most elevated and flood resistant land in the town. In order to test these observations, the author of this thesis has collected parcel-level land use data in Norco to determine the flood hazard and topographical characteristics of these various land uses. Spatial calculations, run using Geographic Information System software, have determined that heavy industrial land uses in Norco consume a vast majority of the Mississippi River's natural levee.

Abstract:

Today’s rapid growth in population on sub-urban areas has caused an increase in fecal coliforms to be discharged to down-streams and lakes. The unaffordability of conventional sewerage systems makes it inaccessible to big part of the population of rural communities to receive proper sanitation. Since population growth is only projected to increase during the next few years, action is necessary to change the course of the future of rural communities, more specifically described on this report, Louisiana’s communities. One option to offer affordable sewerage systems to the Louisiana region is that we utilize of the Simplified Sewerage technology. Simplified Sewerage has been tested on several municipalities around the globe, especially in Brazil. The results of its application have proven to be conclusive and beneficial to communities.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the experiences of St. Bernard Parish, La., residents as they coped with the impact of the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. An estimated 50,000 St. Bernard Parish residents relocated to a new home one year after Katina in 2006, and many of those residents moved again. This study examines the effects of the decisions of St. Bernard residents to relocate or to return on their social connections. The utility, adaptability and durability of social networks of these residents will be explored to enrich our knowledge about the social effects of recovery and the role that distance plays in the way residents connect to each other six years after Hurricane Katrina. It also examines the applicability of disaster theory as it relates to this case and develops a methodology for examining the impact of geographic dispersal on social networks.

Full text

Abstract:

The Isleños of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana trace their ancestry to eighteenth century settlers from the Canary Islands. Currently, St. Bernard Parish is home to two separate Canarian heritage organizations: Los Isleños Heritage and Cultural Society and the Canary Islands Descendents Association. This thesis examines how the Isleños are currently renegotiating their cultural identity through the use of heritage via the structure of heritage organizations. I argue that under mounting economic, environmental, and political pressure, people of Canarian descent in St. Bernard Parish have begun to adjust Isleño cultural identity in order to make it more widely inclusive. This is a creative means by which the Isleños attempt to maneuver around the increasingly rapid pace of change and deal with threats to the survival of their culture.

Abstract:

This study examines the phenomenon of student resiliency as it relates to Nunez Community College students who returned to attend school in the community of St. Bernard Parish following Hurricane Katrina. Nunez Community College is located in Chalmette, Louisiana, fifteen miles east of the City of New Orleans. The community is adjacent to the Lower Ninth Ward. This study seeks to answer the questions of why the students returned to a disaster-stricken area to continue their studies and how the students coped in the aftermath. There is a significant gap in the literature on post-disaster resiliency and in particular, the role of education in post-disaster recovery. Twelve students who returned to Nunez Community College post-Katrina were interviewed using a Student Resilience Model as a conceptual framework. The perceptions of the students' post-disaster experiences resulted in five themes which included Individual Resilience, Post-Disaster Academic Integration, Post-Disaster Social Int

Full text

Abstract:

L'objectif de ce travail est d'étudier la formation de l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2S) dans les aquifères utilisés pour le stockage de gaz naturel. L'étude des données de qualité gaz disponibles au global des stations nous a tout d'abord montré que la production d'H2S était marginale à l'échelle des volumes mis en jeu. Puis le développement de méthodologies analytiques et un programme d'analyse du gaz en tête de puits d'exploitation ont permis de souligner le rôle majeur tenu par la périphérie du stockage saturée en eau. Enfin une approche géochimique pluridisciplinaire - minéralogique, bactériologique, statistique, thermodynamique (calculs d'équilibres au moyen du logiciel CHIMERE) et isotopique - a identifié les acteurs de la formation d'H2S. Il s'agit de la combinaison entre, d'une part la désulfuration naturelle induite par le mélange du gaz injecté pauvre en H2S avec une eau plus ou moins chargée en H2S, et d'autre part une production d'H2S directement induite par la qualité du gaz injecté. Cette production a plusieurs origines. Il s'agit d'une acidification qui enrichit le système en H2S dissous et en H2S gazeux. Cette acidification est générée par la dissolution instantanée d'une partie du dioxyde de carbone du gaz naturel injecté (C02g), par l'oxydation possible du méthane injecté (CH4), et par la précipitation de sulfures de fer (FeS-FeS2) D'autres transformations chimiques, minimes à l'échelle du Stockage, sont aussi responsables de la production de sulfures dissous. Il s'agit de l'hydrolyse totale et rapide de l'oxysulfure de carbone (COS) injecté, de la réduction d'une part infime mais suffisante des sulfates (SO42-), par biocatalyse ou bien directement mais lentement par le méthane injecté. Il peut s'agir aussi de la lixiviation lente des sulfures de fer. On observe alors dans la bulle de gaz un gradient en sulfures dissous opposant une zone centrale pratiquement désulfurée à une périphérie sulfurée. Les soutirages de gaz ramènent une proportion croissante de gaz chargé en H2S. La production d'H2S est en partie contrôlée au niveau de la zone de soutirage par une précipitation de sulfures de fer selon la disponibilité du fer ferreux et ce contrôle est en partie responsable en début de soutirage des teneurs nulles en H2S du gaz soutiré. La consommation de sulfates est suffisamment faible pour être indécelable par l'analyse physico-chimique des eaux de stockage lorsqu'elles sont riches en sulfates. Ainsi, suite au stockage de gaz naturel acide, les eaux contenant une quantité non négligeable de sulfures (> 4 mg/l) ou de sulfates, produiront suffisamment d'H2S pour nécessiter la désulfuration du gaz destocké. Cette production peut être minimisée au moyen d'une gestion optimisée du stockage du gaz, tel que par un équilibrage du rapport volume de gaz injecté sur volume de gaz soutiré : ce rapport doit rester supérieur à 1 pour éviter le déstockage de gaz "ancien", périphérique, chargé en H2S. La production d'H2S peut dans ce cas se concrétiser à terme par une désulfuration des eaux de la zone centrale du stockage. La phase d'acidification par le C02g est suivie par un tamponnage par les carbonates solides, plus ou moins importante selon la minéralogie des stockages et qui, avec la dissolution du C02g et l'oxydation potentielle du méthane, est directement responsable d'une carbonatation générale et significative des eaux de stockage. Par ailleurs, une synthèse isotopique sur l'ensemble des stockages de gaz du Bassin de Paris a montré que les aquifères d'âges Trias supérieur et Lusitanien sont affiliés : on observe que les sulfates de l'ensemble des aquifères de stockage étudiés ont la marque isotopique d'un sulfate triasique ayant subi une bioréduction croissante. Cette bioréduction a pris place dans un système qui a permis des réhomogénéisations isotopiques à chaque étape de l'écoulement du fluide porteur du sulfate originel triasique. On a aussi mis en évidence des phénomènes de mélange entre des fluides de minéralisation plus ou moins importante dans chacun des stockages étudiés. Ce mélange est le résultat de mouvements de fluides verticaux et horizontaux induits par la respiration du stockage. Cette étude a permis de souligner l'intérêt que représente pour son exploitant le suivi de la qualité de l'eau du Stockage de gaz naturel en aquifère. Ce suivi peut être réalisé au moyen d'outils adaptés : prélèvements et analyses d'eau et de gaz, en fond ou en tête de puits; constitution et traitement de fichiers de données; utilisation des méthodes isotopiques ... . Il a aussi été réalisé, pour la première fois en France, un prélèvement bactérien dans une carotte nouvellement échantillonnée dans un niveau saturé en gaz stocké. Il s'agit de la seule technique véritablement significative pour l'étude bactérienne de tels milieux.

Abstract:

This study is concerned with the style of leadership needed to enable the church to fully express itself in mission. The renewed ecclesiology of the Second Vatican council, in which the church is said to be missionary by nature, is reviewed. The fundamental structure of the church is described theologically under the themes of the people of God, creation of the Holy Spirit and the body of Christ. A study of the Council's teaching on a pyramidal style ofleadership leads to the conclusion that it is inadequate for implementing the teaching on the missionary nature of the church. A review of post-Vatican II ecclesial movements worldwide points to a strong desire among many for a church of greater participation with a more personal leadership style. A study of leadership in the corporate world shows how a servant-style is replacing the traditional pyramidal structure. It is shown how this servant-leadership style could also be used in the church. The results of a qualitative research study of St. Joseph's Parish in Metro Manila, Philippines, are presented. This shows how the pastor gathered around him a group of lay leaders who share and express his style of servant-leadership. This part of the study begins by setting the historical context within which this parish exists by giving an overview of the history of the church in the Philippines and then shows how the leaders of St. Joseph's Parish motivated a passive congregation to become a church-in-mission. This occurred over a number of years through the parishioners being invited to full participation in parish life and becoming involved in service of those in need. An intense formation programme by parish leaders, who used a servant-leadership style, helped lead this parish from its former passivity to a manifestation of the missionary nature of the church. The study concludes by identifying some themes for further research.

Abstract:

This is a hermeneutical study of an attempt to inculturate a Redemptorist parish mission in a black township parish. The purpose of Redemptorist parish mission is conversion and renewal. This study is influenced by - - the spirit of St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787) founder of the Redemptorists - Vatican II (1962-1965) and by - the African Synod (1994); and it uses the systemic stage model of Rambo and the spiral model of Costas, as a framework to understand conversion. The conversion experiences of ten parishioners of St. Peter's parish are used as data for the study. A theological reflection on the ten conversions confirmed the following: that cultural context is important for understanding conversion; that conversion is both a distinct moment and a continuous process; that it is imperative to understand conversion from the perspective of the convert him/herself. For 'mission preaching' to effect genuine conversion it must be inculturated.

Abstract:

In August and September of 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast with damages estimated at $85 billion. Hurricane Katrina was so devastating that the number of lives lost and injuries sustained is still being calculated. Hurricane Rita, which made landfall in the southwestern part of the Louisiana just a few weeks after Katrina, did not cause as much damage as Katrina but was devastating nonetheless. In both cases, two Louisiana community colleges, Nunez Community College and SOWELA Technical Community College, were damaged to the point that many doubted that either college would have a future. Both community colleges, however, continued classes and are in operation today. This study examines the actions of the institutional leadership at Nunez Community College and SOWELA Technical Community College in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to conduct case studies on each college. A substantive theory emerged from the findings explaining the resiliency of both institutions.

Abstract:

The master's thesis "The Greek Catholic Parish of St. Clement in Prague - Development and Identity" presents the history of Greek Catholic Church in relationship to the history of the church as a whole and to the matters of Eastern and Western Christian traditions up to the reunification of the Latin Church with several Eastern Churches in the form of so-called Unions. The thesis also familiarizes readers with the development and impact of these unions. This also describes the identity and traditions of the Greek Catholic Church, consisting in the tradition of Eastern Christianity fully united in communion with the Catholic Church (chapter 1). Following the general introduction into the matter, the thesis focuses on the circumstances of the parish origin, its development and life in the course of history and in context of the Czech church history in the 20th century. The next milestone described in the thesis is the year 1989 and subsequent changes (chapter 2). Furthermore, the thesis presents the organization of the Greek Catholic Church in the region of contemporary Czech Republic and its development up to the present state (chapter 3).
