Transformative youth work : an empirical-theological study on Bosch's "mission in creative tension" in the context of Protestant youith work in Solingen

The objective of this research study is the examination of the ideas about youth work found within the leadership team for the youth work of the Evangelical St. Reinoldi Chapel, Rupelrath. It investigates the way in which the team leaders' subjective understanding of youth work is affected by theological tensions, following David Bosch's approach “Mission in Creative Tension”. Following the Empirical-Theological Praxis Cycle, a qualitative analysis is carried out within the context of the youth leadership team of the Evangelical youth work. Data collection is undertaken in the form of a group workshop, data analysis in accordance with Grounded Theory. The results are utilised in order to develop a Dialogical Model for Transformative Youth Work as well as guiding principles for youth work with a missiological foundation. This study also aims to contribute to the development of a missiological rationale for youth work.Philosophy and Systematic Theolog

Observations on the microstructural development during hiping

The quality of the initial packing of the powders and the microstructural development of the pore "phase", during HIPing a C1018 steel to various densities, were compared with 2D-simulations of the densification process. The results were also compared with densification and microstructural observations during HIPing of a NI-superalloy AP1 and presintered W(Ni) solid solution. Densification during final stage HIPing was mainly controlled by the elimination of small number of larger resudal pores or by elimination of pores at grain boundaries
