The purpose of this thesis is to interpret and understand the “gracious affections” which is emerged in the book, Religious Affections(1746) written by Jonathan Edwards. To scrutinize the above, his religious idea has been conceptualized based on his literature. Edwards’ ancestors were puritans who were armed by the Words of God. So as he grew up, he was influenced by Puritan education and ideas. Influenced by the Puritans, he had looked back on his life in order to offer his entire life to God completely by contemplating the bible in which God’s divine revelation is recorded. He emphasized the faith in personal experience based on the Bible recorded by the word of God. Edwards initiated his theology with the perception that the all human beings are sinners. Since all human beings are sinners, he accentuated the Christ-centered faith, and insisted that sinners can achieve true salvation only through Christ, which is that sinners are able to have complete faith only when they have a spiritual experience that a faith in personal experience. Jonathan Edwards had conceptualized that affection is needed to possess the true faith. According to him, affection is connected with true belief. He asserted that the affection is the gift from God and through the true affection, human beings can reach to the true faith. Affection is the source of human deeds and essential spring to let human beings live their lives. The reason why God gives human beings the affection is to make us truly believe in him and worship him alone with the affection. Edwards suggested twelve affections among true grace when he explained the affection. He claims that the true faith can be achieved by the gracious affections. He also suggests that passion and love toward God can be fulfilled when the love of God is realized. Through this, Edwards argues that all of the Christians should expand the form of God-centered faith based on the faith in personal experience in terms of the church, and expand the form of God-centered faith in terms of the society so as to listen to, learn and practice the word of God. Through this gracious affection, he mentions the needs of God to both unbelievers and believers. Through this study, I really want all Christians to conceptualize the attitude of faith toward the word of God and mature not only doctrinally but spiritually. And through this gracious affections, I hope that the existential parts of God’s works will be dealt with and studied by Christian and unbelievers.

In 1400 A.D. China's per-capita output in 1985 dollars was $500 and in 1950 A.D. it was $450 according to estimates by Maddison. In sharp contrast, Western Europe's per-capita output grew from $430 to $4900 over this same period. Why was there such a dramatic difference in economic development between the East and West? In this thesis, a theory of development is proposed that analyzes China's five centuries of economic stagnation. Our hypothesis is that government fiscal institutions played a critical role. In particular, China had a centralized fiscal government arrangement that stifled growth with high effective tax rates while Western Europe had a decentralized fiscal government arrangement where competition across states encouraged growth with low effective tax rates. A centralized fiscal arrangement is characterized by a central government that sets tax policy for all of the regions. A decentralized fiscal arrangement is characterized by a large number of regional governments that set their own respective regional tax rates. There is a mobile factor input that is the key to economic growth. Using an endogenous growth model framework, we consider centralized and decentralized fiscal government arrangements and show that the equilibrium outcomes are different under the two arrangements. In the model environment, under the decentralized fiscal arrangement regional the equilibrium entails low effective tax rates and growth. Under the centralized fiscal arrangement, the brium is characterized by high effective tax rates and stagnation. The key to the different equilibrium outcome lies in a time consistency problem. In the centralized fiscal arrangement, the central government faces a time consistency problem. Under the decentralized fiscal arrangement, regional tax competition acts as a commitment device.

Museums are educational institutions that, historically, have often reflected dominant-culture biases in their treatment of religious artifacts and human remains from Native societies (Bal, 1996; Bieder, 1986, 1996; Bilosi & Zimmerman, 1997; Bray, 1995; Cornell, 1988; Edwards & Sullivan, 2004). In 1989, the National Museum of the American Indian Act became law after years of sustained activism to protect basic human, cultural and civil rights for Native peoples, including the rights to religious freedom and equal protections for the sanctity of Native graves and Native dead. The Act established the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), recognized Native rights to specific categories of sensitive materials, and required Native participation and agency in the new organization, whose mission includes supporting the health and vitality of contemporary Native cultures. This dissertation is a case study of the grassroots social action of Native Americans that uses Charles Vert Willie's theory of grassroots social action to illuminate how and why the grassroots social action of Native Americans was successful in fulfilling the goal to reform museum practice through the enactment of federal law (Willie, Ridini, & Willard, 2008). My overarching research interest is how public educational institutions can transform themselves in response to the legislative demands and court orders for social justice initiated by grassroots population groups. This historic case, examined through the lens of a well-formulated theory and involving the agency of grassroots social action and the transformation of museum policy, is of value and interest to many types of grassroots movements, both in education and in other social systems. In particular, knowledge of what obstacles activists faced and may continue to face, what strategies have successfully been employed to meet these obstacles, and what lessons have been learned by those involved in this unique case, can be of value to others who similarly seek to transform institutions in order to promote civil and human rights.

Free electrons prove to be an interesting challenge for theoretical chemistry and physics. This work is engaged primarily with calculations involving unbound electrons. The interaction of unbound electrons with molecular nuclei can have quite surprising consequences. An example studied here is the photodetachment of small anionic water clusters. The photodetached electron, which was dipole-bound, is resonant with vibrational modes of the parent cluster. The interaction of the vibrational mode with the free electron leads to a highly asymmetric lineshape. Here the final state of photodetachment is a free electron, and this state is vital in determining the result of the photon absorption. The computational machinery for calculating free electrons has a set of challenges distinct from traditional bound state quantum chemistry calculations. This is explored in the second half of this work, where representations of both time-independent and time-dependent continuum wavefunctions are presented.

The incredible success of the Standard-Model Extension is demonstrated by the amountof experimental investigations that it has inspired and that have employed its results andinsights. Although a huge amount of data exists that constrains the coefficients for Lorentzviolation contained in the framework, there exists a vast amount of work still to be performed.Indeed, to date the entire framework has still not been characterized and classified.The goal of the present work is to extend our current understanding of nonminimalLorentz violation originating from spin-independent backgrounds. This is accomplished byfirst constructing the scalar effective field theory incorporating general spin-independentLorentz violation. The propagation of neutral mesons is modeled using this theory and theeffects of these backgrounds on observables for CPT violation in this system are derived.Bounds on CPT violation arising from nonminimal effects are inferred. Next, the methodfor deriving the point-particle lagrangian associated with a given field theory is extended.These lagrangians are used to study the Finsler geometric aspects associated with particlemotion experiencing spin-independent Lorentz violation, and a new class of Finsler spaces isderived.

All human chromosomes end with protective structures called telomeres, which consist of thousands of double-stranded TTAGGG repeats and end in a 3' guanine-rich overhang. These structures shorten normally during each round of replication, and extremely short telomeres along with telomere dysfunction are thought to contribute to the development of aging and cancer. Although many proteins have roles in telomere maintenance, WRN, which is a 3' to 5' helicase that is deficient in the premature aging disorder Werner's syndrome, has been proposed to play multiple roles at telomeres. In this study, I focus on the effect of telomeric sequences and/or structures formed during DNA replication or recombination and how WRN functions at these sites. This study suggests that WRN may promote proper replication of telomeres by accurately aligning telomeric sequences during replication fork regression, potentially the first step in responding to a blockage, such as DNA damage. However, even in the presence of WRN, replication of telomeric sequences is difficult, possibly due to the ability of G-rich sequences to form secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes. I demonstrate that the translesion polymerase pol eta, as well as a variety of other polymerases, is unable to synthesize past an intramolecular G-quadruplex formed from telomeric sequence on the template strand. Furthermore, in physiological salt concentrations, WRN favors binding and unwinding a structure that mimics a strand invasion intermediate over other similar structures especially when it possesses G-telomeric sequence. In addition, WRN promotes unwinding of these structures in a direction that would promote additional annealing and strand invasion, supporting a role for WRN in promoting telomeric recombination and formation of a T-loop, a proposed protective structure specific to telomeres. Overall, the data suggest that telomeres may pose problems in replication due to the G-rich, repeating nature of the structures, while WRN may aid in promoting proper replication at these and other replication blocks. Furthermore, WRN may play a role in promoting additional formation of T-loops and other telomeric recombination, thus supporting the relationship of WRN, telomere maintenance, and potentially development of certain aging characteristics.

The reformation of social interaction initiated by the narrative enunciation of sexual violation is the interest of this dissertation. The problematic of enunciating sexual violation is explored by considering the ambivalence of creating narrative about the experience; and the process of reception that destabilizes each articulation of sexual violation with questions of truth, evidence and language. The use of the testimonial as a genre for the personal narrative of sexual violation is refigured towards an expressive praxis, which elaborates sensation and memory in the process of articulation. The first chapter explores language, writing and voice as tools of an expressive praxis that validate self-revelation as a negotiation with silence. The second chapter close reads the literary critic Brooke Hopkins' self-reflexive essay, "A Question of Child Abuse" with theories of the gaze developed in feminist film criticism to consider the problem of narrating sexual violation. The third chapter close reads asha bandele's memoir A Prisoner's Wife by focusing on bandele's use of candid self-revelation to manipulate privacy. The fourth chapter considers identity in the dance of disclosure, explores the task of reception and proposes an intuitive matrix as necessary to articulate the mystery of sexual violation. The final chapter reflects on the contention and potential of self-reflexive scholarship. In conclusion the dissertation asserts a process of narrativizing and reception that recognizes the articulation of sexual violation as both a gift and a continued secret.

Item factor analysis has a rich tradition in both the structural equation modeling and item response theory frameworks. While great strides have been made in the past three decades in parameter estimation for these types of models, significant limitations remain. The goal of the present research is to examine the feasibility of using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation methods to estimate parameters of a wide variety of Confirmatory item factor analysis models. After providing an overview of item factor analysis and MCMC, I provide a detailed description of the MCMC estimation routine implemented for this research. Following this I review the accuracy of MCMC estimation for 5 simulated examples. These results suggest that MCMC is capable of providing reasonable parameter estimates for a wide array of Confirmatory item factor analysis models.
