We are Kamea Christians Not Because We Sing Like Berrien Springs Christians: Towards a Methodology of Developing a Biblical Theology in Context

This paper attempts to demonstrate a methodological approach to doing theology in context. A lot of homogenizations of Western Christianity have very much impacted the way we do church in Melanesia (Pacific Islands). This trend motivated me to ride on the wave of Melanesian thinkers to make theology relevant in the Melanesian context. Title: Explorin

The Effect of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and sodium lauryl sulfate surfactants on droplet characteristics in inkjet printheads

The purpose of the present experimental work is to determine the surface tension of various surfactant solutions using the capillary method and observe droplet ejection behavior for these solutions in order to define the correlation between the two. The present work examines the role of surfactants in inkjet printing. One of the most important properties of inkjet ink is surface tension, and surfactants are used in ink to control this property. Specifically studied in this investigation are different concentrations of the surfactants ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and sodium lauryl sulfate. Surfactants have been ejected using a piezo inkjet printhead, and the behavior of the resulting droplets has been studied with respect to their geometry, repeatability, and potential effect on print quality. All behavior is related to surface tension, so this property has been experimentally determined for all concentrations of surfactant using the capillary method. A commercial grade ink was used as a baseline against which to judge different surfactant concentration droplet behavior. Surfactants having too low of a surface tension showed problems with ingestion (air bubbles in the exit nozzles) and droplet geometry, while those surfactants with excessively high surface tension had difficulty firing at all. The 8.6% ethylene glycol surfactant displayed characteristics most similar to the baseline commercial ink sample

Employing back casting principles for the formation of long term built asset management strategies - A theoretical approach

Purpose: Facilities managers have traditionally relied on forecasting approaches using the stock condition survey to predict maintenance and refurbishment needs against changing user requirements. However, the authors have previously shown that such an approach, whilst effective for short term planning, is unable to cope with the uncertainty and complex data sets required to develop long term plans (> 10 years), in particular the impact of future climate change (physical and legislative). This paper will present back casting as an alternative approach to support long term built asset management planning. Background: Back casting has been applied to sustainable transport management, energy planning and community climate change adaptation projects. The process in principle envisions a future state (end-point) set by stakeholders. Alternative ‘paths of approach’ are identified by looking backwards from the future state to the present. Each path is examined in turn to identify interventions (physical and/or operational) required in order for that path to achieve the end-goal. The stakeholder’s review each path and select the most appropriate for achieving the desired (end-point). This path is then integrated into the facilities (built asset) management strategy. Approach: The researchers worked with various stakeholders as part of an action research team to identify climate change adaptations that may be required to ensure the continued performance of the building and integrate these into a 60 year facilities management plan. Results: The paper superimposes back casting theory onto the adaptation process and explains how the theory supported long term facilities management planning. The paper also explains how the approach was used to provide confidence for the building owner to invest in the planned refurbishment of their built asset to improve its future performance and sustainability. Practical implications: The paper demonstrates the application of this approach through a case study example of a newly constructed £75 m educational building. A similar approach could be applied to other building types. Research limitations: This paper presents a theoretical model which needs to be validated using longitudinal data sets. Originality/value: This is the first paper to suggest the potential of back casting to inform long term built asset management strategies
