    In Creative Problem Solving, Does Projection Influence the Press? What this project aims to achieve is using creative problem tools with the notion that Projection (in relation to circumstances in our environment) causes us to push against our press. Using Projection (mental images), can we find solutions to problems efficiently? Samples of CPS tools and their uses will be explained. Projection meaning and inner-works of our brain function will show an illustration that will be clarified as to how individual\u27s cognitive functions react to stimuluses\u27. Projection is a simulation of a scene, place, and time. It is reasonable to ask that if, based on our environmental factors like press (environment), attitudes, and emotions, do we Project or re-create mental pictures in our mind that help move us forward whereby we solve problems deliberately to overcome our environment beforehand. Sir Isaac Newton\u27s third law of motion proves what humanity does to push against the press. Projection including future think (prospection), remembering the past, considering the viewpoint of others (theory of mind) and navigation is proven as fact according to figure two. We instinctively Project images in our mind to solve problems and find solutions that derive from our environment/press. It\u27s almost like playing and replaying a video. Ekvall\u27s ten questionnaire will be mentioned. The Visual Thinking process and PPCo tool uses, helps us prioritize visual pictures we Project that drive us to find a creative solution, goal or wish. There will be samples of what our mind perceives when faced with press challenges and issues based on our circumstances. “Prospection concepts will be examined. Mentioned is how moods, behaviors and emotions could play a role in our decision making on environmental factors positively or negatively. To support this I will share the father of brainstorming\u27s view on mental imagery and what he believes humans use innately

    A Biochemical Study of Gossypol and Lactate Dehydrogenase X Binary Interactions

    The goal of this project was to study the mechanism of action of gossypol through its (a) binary interaction with native and trypsin digested lactate dehydrogenase-X (LD-X), a sperm-specific isozyme, and (b) its binding in vitro in primary cultures of spermatogenic cells. Mouse LD-X was cleaved with trypsin before and after treatment with gossypol. This was followed by high performance chromatography (HPLC) separation of the LD-X tryptic peptide fragments to observed alterations in separation patterns as indicators of intramolecular disturbance in the enzyme molecule. Definite alterations in peptide fragment peaks were observed in the presence of gossypol and suggest conformational or intramolecular modifications in the enzyme structure attributable to direct binding with gossypol or its degradation products. Whether there are gossypol interactions unique for LD-X was not determined. The binding of 14C-gossypol to cytosolic and membrane fractions of spermatogenic cell suspensions revealed that most of the gossypol was located in the membrane fractions. However, the relative amount of LD-X bound gossypol was greater in the cytosol than the membrane fractions. A model of gossypol binding in spermatogenic cells is proposed

    The Worship Leader: Intentional Worship Equilibrium of a Christ-centered Perspective on College Campus and in the Community

    Because of the diversity of collegiate cultures, Christ is depicted in various ways on campus; hence this study focuses on the gospel choir leadership influence. The impacts of Christ-centered gospel choir leadership are demonstrated in this qualitative study, as well as how it will lead to academic and community leadership influence. This study investigates the impact of collegiate gospel choir leadership on campus and local community worship. College and university gospel choirs from Charleston, South Carolina, provide the context for this qualitative study. This vital research takes a phenomenological approach to the impacts of mentorship and development of a collegiate gospel choir’s worship experience as viewed by choir members and the Charleston community. Perspectives on the worship leader, mentorship, discipleship, and partnership aid with developing a holistic approach to the intentional worship equilibrium of the worship leader. Gospel music on a college campus continues to be a vehicle allowing students to demonstrate their heartfelt expression of love for Christ through the avenues of the gospel choir. When students gather for rehearsals, they do so not simply to prepare for performance but to represent Christ on campus and in their community. Leaders are therefore essential to ensure that each student has the tools necessary to provide a Christ-centered perspective on campus and in their community. As the culture of the United States becomes more diverse, building a successful balanced collegiate gospel choir program necessitates leadership that understands both the campus culture and the community, as well as how leadership will affect each student. Findings are based on data from interviews with gospel choir members from Charleston Southern University, College of Charleston, and The Citadel. The community component of this study is the congregation of Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, North Charleston, South Carolina

    Cause and Conviction: The Role of Causation in Section 1983 Wrongful Conviction Claims

    Get PDF
    The United States criminal justice system convicts, incarcerates, and, in some instances, executes people for crimes of which they are innocent. Although wrongful convictions may be an inevitable consequence of our criminal justice system, it would seem that a person wrongly deprived of his liberty is entitled to a civil remedy to compensate for the mistakes of the criminal system. Yet persons wrongly convicted of crimes who bring actions under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 for an erroneous arrest, detention, or conviction are often denied monetary compensation. This Article considers the role of causation in section 1983 wrongful conviction cases. Although causation is seldom mentioned as an element of a section 1983 claim, it plays two roles in section 1983 litigation. First, causation is an inherent part of the deprivation element of a section 1983 claim. Additionally, causation serves as a link between the defendant\u27s breach and the plaintiff\u27s damages, which I refer to as damages causation. Wrongful convictions almost never happen for one reason but, instead, are usually the result of several different acts. Hence, they are not easily amenable to causation determinations and courts have used damages causation as a way to limit liability in section 1983 wrongful conviction claims. I argue that courts\u27 approaches to damages causation in section 1983 claims unnecessarily and improperly limit defendants\u27 liability in wrongful conviction cases
