A SOTERIOLOGIA SOCIAL DE JOHN WESLEY com consideração especial de seus aspectos comunitários, sinergéticos e públicos

Este estudo investiga os elementos da soteriologia de John Wesley e seus aspectos dinamizantes. Em vez de favorecer um determinado período da vida de Jonh Wesley, a biografia teológica de John Wesley é desenvolvida a partir do conceito da sedimentação de experiência. Dessa forma, a theologia viatorum de John Wesley é desenvolvida com foco nos seus elementos transversais e os crescentes desdobramentos dos mesmos segundo os seus aspectos comunitários, sinergéticos e públicos. Segundo esta tese, a theologia viatorum de John Wesley ganha em profundidade e vitalidade com a sua crescente e consciente aprendizagem e compromisso com o povo inglês e, em especial, com os pobres da Inglaterra. Acompanhado por uma cuidadosa auto-análise, Wesley parte para a análise do efeito de diversas soteriologias dos seus dias no cotidiano, as quais são marcadas pela demorada transição entre a época medieval e a modernidade. Surge uma re-construção característica da soteriologia, designado por nós como soteriologia social. Entendemos esta soteriologia social como o eixo principal da teologia de John Wesley que se manifesta numa típica antropologia, cristologia, pneumatologia, escatologia e eclesiologia soteriológica. Os aspectos comunitários, sinergéticos e públicos desta soteriologia social são vistos e desenvolvidos por Wesley a partir da auto-experiência e da convivência com o povo, suas dinâmicas, sua cultura, suas necessidades e suas competências. Tais aspectos levam, passo a passo, a uma práxis que começa a contemplar o entrelaçamento entre a reforma da igreja, da nação e a transformação de pessoas. Este movimento é comotivado por um horizonte soterioló gico utópico que prevê a continuação da theologia viatorum até na transformação do cosmo inteiro. A soteriologia social é parecida com a um tecido que acompanha a topografia socio-econômica e religiosa da época, procurando caminhos para a superação dos seus impasses, da sua desesperança e irresponsabilidade em relação aos pobres.(AU)

Control of Meristem Development by CLAVATA1 Receptor Kinase and Kinase-Associated Protein Phosphatase Interactions1

The CLAVATA1 (CLV1) gene encodes a putative receptor kinase required for the proper balance between cell proliferation and differentiation in Arabidopsis shoot and flower meristems. Impaired CLV1 signaling results in masses of undifferentiated cells at the shoot and floral meristems. Although many putative receptor kinases have been identified in plants, the mechanism of signal transduction mediated by plant receptor-like kinases is largely unknown. One potential effector of receptor kinase signaling is kinase-associated protein phosphatase (KAPP), a protein that binds to multiple plant receptor-like kinases in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. To examine a possible role for KAPP in CLV1-dependent plant development, the interaction of CLV1 and KAPP was investigated in vitro and in vivo. KAPP binds directly to autophosphorylated CLV1 in vitro and co-immunoprecipitates with CLV1 in plant extracts derived from meristematic tissue. Reduction of KAPP transcript accumulation in an intermediate clv1 mutant suppresses the mutant phenotype, and the degree of suppression is inversely correlated with KAPP mRNA levels. These data suggest that KAPP functions as a negative regulator of CLV1 signaling in plant development. This may represent a general model for the interaction of KAPP with receptor kinases.

A Divine Round Trip: the Literary and Christological Function of the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif in the Gospel of John

The thesis of this dissertation is that the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif, which includes the language of not only descending and ascending, but also going, coming, and being sent, performs a significant literary and christological function in the Gospel of John. The Evangelist's Descent/Ascent Leitmotif becomes the Gospel's organizing principal, drawing together a constellation of verbs and a number of themes, including Jesus-Son's origin, identity, relationship to God, authority, signs and works, life, and glory. In the introductory chapter, after providing a layout of the dissertation, the discussion turns to the spacial dimensions and christological importance of the vertical and horizontal depictions of the descending, ascending, coming, going, and being sent verbs. The focus of chapter two is to explain and illustrate, using a version of the Cinderella story, a method that serves to identify the Leitmotif and the verbs, motifs, and themes the Leitmotif draws within its constellation. This approach, titled a thematic structural method, integrates works from thematic scholars Horst Daemmrich and Eugene Falk with works from literary structural scholars A. J Greimas and Roland Barthes, and is a tool to analyze the influence of the Leitmotif as the Gospel's organizing principal on the relationships between the Leitmotif and numerous themes from which John's Christology emerges. The task of chapter three is to explain the rationale for the selection of the Leitmotif's verbs of descending, ascending, coming, going, and being sent. Chapters four and five investigate how the Evangelist, with the repetition of the Leitmotif, constructs his narrative to tell the story of the historical Jesus and shape the Evangelist's Christology. Additionally, the focus is to analyze the transforming influences of the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif on the themes of Jesus-Son's origin, identity, relationship to the Father, and authority, through his signs and works, life, and glory. The Descent/Ascent Leitmotif depicts a divine round trip, and the emphasis of chapter six is to examine the role of the Leitmotif in Jesus-Son's departure from the world and return to God. The Evangelist's use of the Leitmotif in Jesus' prayer to the Father (John 17) and the promise of the Paraclete are included in this chapter. Due to the Descent/Ascent Leitmotif's inherent spatial overtones, elements related to Jesus' return, including heaven, world, the hour, and his form after his resurrection, are explored from a cosmological and ontological perspective.

Low metal content Co and Ni alumina supported catalysts for the CO2 reforming of methane

Low metal content Co and Ni alumina supported catalysts (4.0, 2.5 and 1.0 wt% nominal metal content) have been prepared, characterized (by ICP-OES, TEM, TPR-H2 and TPO) and tested for the CO2 reforming of methane. The objective is to optimize the metal loading in order to have a more efficient system. The selected reaction temperature is 973 K, although some tests at higher reaction temperature have been also performed. The results show that the amount of deposited carbon is noticeably lower than that obtained with the Co and Ni reference catalysts (9 wt%), but the CH4 and CO2 conversions are also lower. Among the catalysts tested, the Co(1) catalyst (the value in brackets corresponds to the nominal wt% loading) is deactivated during the first minutes of reaction because CoAl2O4 is formed, while Ni(1) and Co(2.5) catalysts show a high specific activity for methane conversion, a high stability and a very low carbon deposition.
