    In the German universities the prophets were looked upon as “mad fellows”. Indeed any idea of God revealing Himself to men was frowned upon and I was left with doubts. The material of this thesis has convinced me that God takes great care to reveal Himself to man and that we may place our trust in His revelation of Himself. So, by this work, my whole Christian faith has been more firmly established

    Personality differences between academically successful and unsuccessful college students as measured by the thematic apperception test

    The problem of college student mortality and the prognosis of academic success have long intrigued school administrators and educational psychologists. The prediction of academic achievement remains a problem and the tremendous waste represented by the high percentage of drop-outs continues to pose a serious challenge to our institutions of higher education. Statement of the Problem The problem with which this study was concerned was to determine what differences, measurable by the Thematic Apperception Test, exist between students who have been identified as successful in college and those who have been identified as unsuccessful

    New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution.

    Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals. We identify 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (BMI), and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P < 5 × 10(-8)). In total, 20 of the 49 waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI loci show significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which display a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms
