A Historical Study of the Friends Doctrine of Scripture
There a.re various theological positions taken by modern day Friends. Some Friends are evangelical, others are theologically liberal. In analyzing this situation one of the major reasons proposed to explain the tendency toward liberalism is related to the Friends\u27 basic view of objective authority in general and a view of Scripture in particular. The question arises as to whether the view of Scripture held traditionally by Quakers accounts necessarily for the tendency toward religious liberalism and whether the Friends\u27 view is actually at variance with evangelical thought today or through the course of history. The investigation is concerned with determining the answers to these definitive questions: (1) What was the Friends\u27 view of religious authority and Scripture? (2) Did it differ from other Christian views? (3) If so, in what way did early Friends differ from their contemporaries? (4) Was the Friends\u27 view of Scripture unique with them or was there a basis for their position in the continuity of thought in Church History as a whole? (5) Did the seventeenth century Friends contribute a corrective to the prevailing view of Scripture, and in so doing tend to overstate the matter, or was their stated view a well-balanced one and definable on its own merits
Japanese automobile lobbying in Brussels : the role of the Japanese motor car industry in EU policy networks
This study examines the lobbying by the Japanese automobile industry in the
European Union. It investigates how the Japanese automobile industry interacts with
the decision-making authorities in Brussels in its attempts to influence the policy
process of the European Union. In the post-war period the Japanese automobile
industry has expanded into all major world markets and plays an important
economic and political role in these. However, until the 1990s, the Japanese
automobile industry enjoyed hardly any interaction with the policy making
institutions of the European Union. This has changed dramatically in the last decade
but, thus far, the process has not been subject to any empirical investigation. This
study, which is largely based upon interviews with the major actors in the process of
interaction between the governing institutions and the automobile industry in the
EU, aims to correct this deficiency.
This thesis employed the policy network concept as a framework to develop
an understanding of this particular case of government-interest group interaction.
The thesis investigated whether the Western concept of policy networks could
successfully be applied to the Japanese automobile industry as a non-western actor in
the unique system of governance of the EU. By doing so, the thesis has
demonstrated that the policy network concept is not a purely Western construct, but
can be applied with equal validity to the case of Japan. Therefore, this thesis has
taken an importani. a step towards proving the universal applicability of the
policy network concept

Food safety knowledge and safe practice attitudes of employees in fine dining and quick service restaurants
The foodservice industry has a responsibility to provide safe food to all customers. Food safety and foodborne illness (FBI) prevention, therefore, have become a primary concern in the foodservice industry. The first step in this food safety chain is employee awareness of food safety procedures to mitigate the potential of causing FBI if correct procedures are not practiced; The purpose of this study was to examine whether a difference in food safety knowledge and attitudes exists between fine dining restaurant and quick service restaurant (QSR) employees. The relationship between attitudes toward food safety and food safety knowledge was also examined for possible causal links; The results indicate that a significant difference between the two sample groups exists between food safety knowledge and attitudes regarding cooling/reheating. QSR employees in particular were deficient in food safety knowledge in the areas of cooling/reheating. Attitudes, food safety knowledge and restaurant type were causally related. The result of this study should be useful for restaurant managers or trainers who are responsible for food safety training programs

Science, methodology and religion in the work of Adam Sedgwick.
Adam Sedgwick (1705-1873) was one of the leading geologists in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, and played a major part in establishing the geological column and applying it in the U.K. This thesis examines the metaphysical, religious and methodological presuppositions implicit in his approach to science.
A prevailing view amongst historians (e.g. Cannon and Morrell) has seen Sedgwick as a 'liberal Anglican' and 'Broad Churchman'. This has been linked with a view connecting the vanguard of science in the period with liberal Anglicanism (e.g. in the BAAS), and seeing both Tractarians and to a large extent Evangelicals as a ' threat ' to it. This thesis presents evidence showing the inadequacy of the 'Broad Church' concept, and that Sedgwick is himself closer to an Evangelical position than has been imagined. It shows that his presuppositions about the nature of science and its relationship with religion were close to those of Scottish Evangelicals like Chalmers and Miller, and not dissimilar from the leading moderate Anglican Evangelicals who would have associated with the Christian Observer. The influence of Coleridgesm liberalism was small.
Sedgwick also contributed to the development of Natural Theology in a time when it was in ascent. Evidence shows that criticisms of Sedgwick for semi-deism (e.g. by Hooykaas) are unfounded, and that his natural theology was consistent with a full Christian theism.
Finally, the thesis examines Sedgwick's participation in the nineteenth century debates about scientific methodology. It shows that, having taken as his mentors on the issue Bacon and Newton, Sedgwick's thinking evidences a certain tension as he tries to interpret what he is actually doing in science in these terms
