Instuments in the Hand of God : Missionary Women in Malaya, 1815-45

Christine DORAN Ewha Womans University Press 2004 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.10 No.1

Most previous research on female missionaries in the Asia-Pacific region has dealt with the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and/or has concentrated on American women. In contrast, this article explores the motives and experiences of British women who were actively involved in mission stations in the Straits Settlements in Malaya, working under the auspices of the London Missionary Society; and it examines the early period of missionary activity in the region, from 1815 to 1845. The paper focuses on a key, but previously neglected issue: the women's motives for becoming involved in missionary endeavor. These women created a notional space for themselves as mission workers, firstly by means of ideas about being useful instruments in God's work; and secondly by asserting a direct relationship with their God, unmediated by male missionaries or the officials of the missionary society. This conceptual strategy gave them scope for maneuver within gendered power structures and thus some degree of social and political leverage.

Ethnobotany knowledge of community surrounding peat forest park as a basis of forest sustainability: case study Orang Kayo Hitam Forest Park, Jambi, Indonesia

Christine Wulandari,Novriyanti,Dian Iswandaru,Dera Anggraini 강원대학교 산림과학연구소 2022 강원대학교 산림과학연구소 학술대회 Vol.2022 No.10

Orang Kayo Hitam (OKH) Forest Park is a peat forest area with a conservation function that is rich in biodiversity. Forest resources that are used by the community need to be properly maintained in order to avoid damage, one of which is forest and land fires. When the function of the forest can meet the needs of the community, it can support forest sustainability because automatically the community will increase their sense of belonging to the existence of the forest. This can happen because the community gets benefits from the preservation of functions to support the fulfillment of the daily needs of their families. Based on this, it is necessary to conduct research on ethnobotany which is a study of the diversity of plants around the forest based on the understanding and value of their use by families or communities around the forest. Especially for peat forests, the results of the research will be specific because peat is land that is prone to fires, but on the other hand, it greatly influences the hydrological conditions of the area where the peatlands exist. This research was conducted in September-October 2021, in Tanjung and Seponjen Villages, Jambi Province, Indonesia. The primary data collection method used interviews and ethnobotany questionnaires, secondary data was collected through literature study. Purposive data collection to 66 respondents. Ethnobotanical data analysis used the calculation of Species Use Value (UVs) and Family Use Value (FUV) to determine the use value of plants. The results showed that as many as 66 species from 42 families of medicinal plants were used by the community around the OKH Forest Park, Jambi Province. The highest use values of plant species (UVs) in Tanjung and Seponjen villages respectively were turmeric (Curcuma longa) which were 0.37 and 0.27. The mean value of plant FUV in Tanjung and Seponjen villages was also below 0.50. Based on the results of this research analysis, all UVs and FUV values have a value below 0.5 (low), then Tanjung and Seponjen Villages need conservation efforts that are supported by all parties and through appropriate conservation programs according to conditions in the field.

Two New Species of Hydropsychidae (Insecta: Trichoptera) from the Philippines

Christine Jewel C. Uy,Yeon Jae Bae 한국동물분류학회 2017 Animal Systematics, Evolution and Diversity Vol.33 No.1

Two new Hydropsychidae (Insecta: Trichoptera) species from the Philippines are described. Hydropsyche philippinensis, n. sp., differs from other congeners in the structure of the phallic apparatus. Diplectrona lagunensis, n. sp., can be distinguished from other congeners by its distinct white band pattern in the forewings and by the structure of the phallus. Both new species were collected from a high mountain stream in the northern part of the Philippines. Paratype materials were barcoded to make the sequences readily available in the GenBank.

Knowledge management enablers, knowledge sharing and research collaboration: a study of knowledge management at research universities in Malaysia

Christine Nya-Ling Tan,Shuhaida Md. Noor 기술경영경제학회 2013 ASIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION Vol.21 No.2

Universities need to be aware of the impact of knowledge management (KM) in order tobecome world-class academic institutions. This research fills an unexplored gap in regardsto the impact of KM enablers (i.e. trust, knowledge self-efficacy, reciprocal benefits, topmanagement support, organizational rewards, organizational culture, KM systeminfrastructure and KM system quality, openness in communication, and face-to-face (F2F)interactive communication) on knowledge sharing (KS) that supports research collaborationby faculty members. No prior research has focused on the impact of KM enablers thatinfluence research university members to share knowledge. A self-administeredquestionnaire was employed on members of five research universities in Malaysia to collectdata; subsequently, 421 usable responses were analysed using partial least squares pathmodelling. KS by members was influenced by trust, organizational rewards, organizationalculture, KM system quality, openness in communication, and F2F interactivecommunication; in addition, research collaboration was strongly influenced by KS. TheKM–KS–collaboration model shows a KM influence of individual–organizational–technological–communication constructs that encourages KS by members to supportresearch collaboration.

Kinetic Approaches to Measuring Peroxiredoxin Reactivity

Christine C. Winterbourn,Alexander V. Peskin 한국분자세포생물학회 2016 Molecules and cells Vol.39 No.1

Peroxiredoxins are ubiquitous thiol proteins that catalyse the breakdown of peroxides and regulate redox activity in the cell. Kinetic analysis of their reactions is required in order to identify substrate preferences, to understand how molecular structure affects activity and to establish their physiological functions. Various approaches can be taken, including the measurement of rates of individual steps in the reaction pathway by stopped flow or competitive kinetics, classical enzymatic analysis and measurement of peroxidase activity. Each methodology has its strengths and they can often give complementary information. However, it is important to understand the experimental conditions of the assay so as to interpret correctly what parameter is being measured. This brief review discusses different kinetic approaches and the information that can be obtained from them.

Developmental salivary gland depression in the ascending mandibular ramus: A cone-beam computed tomography study

Christine A. Chen,Yoonhee Ahn,Scott Odell,Mel Mupparapu,David Mattew Graham 대한영상치의학회 2016 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.46 No.3

A static, unilateral, and focal bone depression located lingually within the ascending ramus, identical to the Stafne’s bone cavity of the angle of the mandible, is being reported. During development of the mandible, submandibular gland inclusion may lead to the formation of a lingual concavity, which could contain fatty tissue, blood vessels, or soft tissue. However, similar occurrences in the ascending ramus at the level of the parotid gland are extremely rare. A static, unilateral, and focal bone depression located lingually within the ascending ramus, identical to the Stafne’s bone cavity of the angle of the mandible, is being reported. During development of the mandible, submandibular gland inclusion may lead to the formation of a lingual concavity, which could contain fatty tissue, blood vessels, or soft tissue. However, similar occurrences in the ascending ramus at the level of the parotid gland are extremely rare. Similar cases were previously reported in dry, excavated mandibles, and 3 cases were reported in living patients. A 52-year-old African American male patient was seen for pain in the mandibular teeth. Panoramic radiography showed an unusual concavity within the left ascending ramus. Cone-beam computed tomography confirmed this incidental finding. The patient was cleared for the extraction of non-restorable teeth and scheduled for annual follow-up.

Michael Fordham’s Theories of Human Development : An Analytical Psychology Perspective

Christine Driver 사단법인 한국임상모래놀이치료학회 2022 상징과 모래놀이치료 Vol.13 No.2

This paper examines the work of Dr. Michael Fordham, Child Psychiatrist and Jungian Analyst, and his theories of human development. Starting with a brief overview of Jung’s concept of the self the paper considers how Fordham recognised that the processes of individuation occur from birth and describes how he introduced the idea of a primary self which fuels development through processes of deintegration and reintegration. This paper considers these processes in detail and how they can lead, in optimal circumstances, to ego development, the development of mind in relation to self and individuation. A brief example is given of the dynamics of deintegration and reintegration between an infant and their mother/caregiver. Links between Fordham’s ideas and the development of feeling toned complexes are explored and a brief overview is given of how neglect, abuse and trauma can impede the processes of deintegration and reintegration and lead to splitting and defences of the self. A clinical example is provided to illustrate the impact of neglect on infant development and how therapy can enable further processes of deintegration, reintegration and individuation. Overall this paper considers Fordham’s concept of the primary self and the processes of deintegration and reintegration and examines how these dynamics enable the gradual expression and integration of aspects of the self, the development of mind in relation to self and others, and individuation.
