Environmental justice for whom? Citizen participation and brownfield redevelopment in downtown Birmingham, Alabama
Environmental legislation promotes citizen participation in the environmental review process through public hearings, community meetings, and advisory groups. However, environmental justice literature advocates higher levels of grassroots citizen empowerment through education and involvement in the decision-making process. Numerous research studies indicated that although the federal government supports community involvement in environmental rest…
Hydrodynamic Study of the Impact of Extreme Flooding Events on Wastewater Treatment Plants Considering Total Water Level
Climate change, sea level rise, and storm surge events are now significant factors threatening critical water and wastewater infrastructure. Extreme storm events have increased the need for the preparation required to face the challenges of climate change. In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy impacted 13 wastewater treatment facilities in New York City alone, causing millions of dollars in damage. Sandy was only a tropical storm, with a wind speed of…
The Management of Asymptomatic Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation: Results of a European Delphi Survey
Consensus on the optimal management of asymptomatic congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is lacking, and comparison between studies remains difficult due to a large variety in outcome measures. We aimed to define a core outcome set (COS) for pediatric patients with an asymptomatic CPAM. An online, three-round Delphi survey was conducted in two stakeholder groups of specialized caregivers (surgeons and non-surgeons) in various European …
Dealing with Collections from Colonial Contexts: Current Developments in Germany
The debate on the return and restitution of cultural property is by no means a new one. In recent years, however, the debate – stimulated by French President Emmanuel Macron’s speech in 2017 – extended to include the question of how to deal with collections from colonial contexts. Whereas international law provides a legal framework for how to deal with war-time looting (the 1954 Hague Convention) and the present-day trafficking in cultural prope…

Preventing Trafficking in Cultural Property: Import and Export Provisions as Two Sides of the Same Coin
This article analyses the recent developments on the international, regional, and national level in preventing the trafficking in movable cultural property. The analysis starts by looking at the legal framework provided by the 1970 UNESCO Convention and the necessity of the Convention's implementation into national law. It then focuses on the 2016 law reform in Germany implementing the 1970 UNESCO Convention as well as Directive 2014/60/EU. Where…

Social Principles and the Democratic State
Reducing the Gap between Skills Sought by Employers and Developed by Education
The process of transforming students from novices into experts relies on active learning and the development of an appreciation for the links among topics. Since rote or stimulus-response learning is preferred by a majority of students who are beginning their programs of study but does not optimize learning and understanding, the first step in the process is changing students' preference to active learning. As students progress from 100- to 400-l…
Optimizing Cognitive-Dissonance Literacy in Ethics Education: An Instructional Model
Cognitive dissonance fosters changes in attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, but is not a major ingredient of most ethics courses. The instructional model developed here addresses this deficiency. The first component discusses dissonance for the purpose of reinforcing the ethos and values taught in other parts of the curriculum. The second component encourages participants to measure and develop strategies for minimizing the discrepancies between i…

Victory Celebrations as Theater: A Dramaturgical Approach to Crowd Behavior
Drawing on data derived from a field study of victory celebrations, this paper suggests a dramaturgical approach to crowd behavior. Existing theories of crowd behavior are either contradicted by the field data or do not adequately account for the heterogeneity of activity observed, for the interaction between the various categories of participants, or for the shifts in the behavior of the participants and the resultant change in the character of …

Utopia and More’s orthodoxy
John Hales and the Synod of Dort
On 24 April 1619 the Synod of Dort sat for the 154th, and last, time. Ostensibly summoned to resolve differences between Dutch Remonstrants and Contra-Remonstrants within a context of Calvinist theology, in reality it pronounced predetermined decrees on unconditional election, a limited atonement, man’s total depravity, the irresistibility of grace, and the perseverance of the elect. The Synod was national (sometimes, decidedly ‘local’) in nature…
John Colet’s Knowledge and Use of Patristics
Erasmus and the Fathers: Their Practical Value
Indeed to lay in a state of ancient knowledge the studious master must go straight to the Greeks: to Aristotle, Theophrastus, Plotinus: to Origen, Chrysostom, Basil. Of the Latin Fathers, Ambrose will be found the most fertile in classical allusions: Jerome has the greatest command of the Scriptures." Thus does Erasmus assess the Fathers in 1514, in the second edition of De Ratione Studii. They are a group of ancient writers coming within the hor…
The Notion of the Church in the Writings attributed to King James VI & I
I preface this essay by saying that it owes the form of its title to an article by Dr D. H. Willson, of Minnesota, entitled ‘James I’s Literary Assistants,’ published in The Huntington Library Quarterly, VIII (1944–5), 35-57. In this article Dr Willson argues interestingly, though not entirely conclusively, that all but some six of the writings commonly attributed to James I are in whole or in part the work of his literary assistants. Impressive …
Who Compiled the Sixteenth-Century Patristic Handbook Unio Dissidentium
The purpose of this paper is to raise a problem of more than antiquarian interest in Reformation literary history. The Unio Dissidentium is a collection of passages from the Bible together with nearly 550 quotations, many of them quite lengthy, from the Fathers. This latter feature gives to the book much of its interest, as well as a place in the patristic revival begun by the classical humanists and brought to a high level of development by the …
The Administration of the Archdeaconry of St. Albans, 1580–1625
Included in the considerable corpus of records of the archdeaconry of St. Albans, hitherto almost entirely neglected by historians, are 106 letters relating to the years 1580–1625 written by the bishop of London (within whose diocese the archdeaconry lay) or, in the case of six of them, his chancellor, to the archdeacon or his official. The letters contain instructions to be put into effect within the archdeaconry, which, at this time, consisted …
