Abstract:
Fluoroquinolones are one of the world’s most valuable and popularly used categories of antimicrobial agents. This paper attempts to review the substantial progress of fluoroquinolones from their discovery to black box warning. Antibiotic drug choice will remain difficult in the presence of increasing resistance, but the introduction of fluoroquinolones has created a new and exciting era in antimicrobial treatment. These are a synthetic heterogeneous group of compounds used in both hospital and community practices to treat numerous severe infections. The era of quinolone antibiotics began with the serendipitous discovery of the quinolone prototype in 1962. The chronological development of fluoroquinolone reported that nalidixic acid was the first quinolone that gained popular choice for the treatment of urinary tract infection. The subsequent agents like levofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, clinafloxacin, sparfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin were derived through side chain and nuclear manipulation from basic pharmacophore. The fluoroquinolone motifs have been found as a milestone, effective in certain infections that are respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, bone disorders, meningococcal and mycobacterial infections, sexually transmitted diseases, skin infections, etc. Fluoroquinolones are first entirely man-made antibiotics that exhibit antibacterial activity through the inhibition of topoisomerase II, topoisomerase IV and deoxyribonucleic acid gyrase, which is vital for chromosome replication and function. The post-marketing surveillance pointed out the favorable side effects associated with fluoroquinolones such as phototoxicity, QT interval prolongation and anaphylaxis. The discovery, development and clinical use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in the last century contributed to a decline in morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract:
This article examines and critiques major views regarding the Old Testament background for the Matthean Beatitudes. It first evaluates the traditional view that Isaiah 61 was the primary Old Testament influence. Second, it examines and critiques N.T. Wright’s view that the juxtaposition of Mt. 5.3–11 and 23.13–33 is part of a rough chiasm intended to associate Jesus’ teaching with the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy 27–30. Finally, it offers a fresh proposal that borrows the best of Wright’s insights, but hopefully advances the discussion of the theological purpose of the Beatitudes by suggesting that Matthew’s Beatitudes are reminiscent of Moses’ final blessing of Israel in Deut. 33.29.

Full text
Abstract:
The search for an appropriate hermeneutic for relevant biblical interpretations in African contexts remains one of the major challenges facing African biblical scholars. Although considerable progress has been achieved since the second half of the last century, in the wake of such approaches as postcolonial criticism in particular, there is ample room for more theoretical contributions. This thesis formulates communalism as a hermeneutical framework to interpret the Imprecatory Psalms from a Kamwe perspective, thereby contributing towards the burgeoning African-centered biblical hermeneutics. The methodology that describes my use of communalism is influenced by the interpretive theories of other African biblical scholars – notably, Justin S. Ukpong and Gerald O. West, who both emphasize collaboration between trained African biblical interpreters and ordinary readers. Communalism as an interpretive theory and its usefulness for interpreting the Imprecatory Psalms in particular is my contribution to collaborative African biblical interpretation. This I have demonstrated through an analysis of qualitative data on the Kamwe concept of cursing and blessing, which leads to and justifies communalism as my hermeneutic. I have focused on the Kamwe because the particularity of each African ethnic group determines how symbols of communalism (such as ‘land’ and ‘mountains’) are harnessed and interpreted. Moreover, I aim to illustrate how a specific African socio-cultural context contributes towards the interpretation of the Imprecatory Psalms, which may otherwise be missed if a rather generalized pan-African approach were used. The methodology of communalism as a Kamwe hermeneutic is developed in response to Tuesday David Adamo’s African Cultural Hermeneutics, which is currently the dominant African-centred approach to the Imprecatory Psalms in biblical scholarship.

Full text
Abstract:
Education, employment, housing, and substance abuse pose significant problems to the successful reentry of individuals released from prison. The current research project utilized a natural experiment, an oil boom in a Midwestern state, to examine changes in offender reentry and recidivism outcomes overtime. The first part of the study compared a sample of offenders released from prison prior to the oil boom to a sample of offenders released from prison during the highest peak of the oil boom. Comparisons were made on variables known in the literature to be predictive of recidivism during the reentry process; these include risk, education, employment, housing, substance abuse, and treatment. Recidivism was measured as a new conviction, technical violation, and re-incarceration. The follow-up period for both samples was two years. The second part of the study incorporated the perspectives of probation and parole officers. All officers in the Midwestern state were surveyed on their perception of offender reentry and how it may have changed as a result of oil boom influences. Officer attitudes, philosophies, and supervision strategies were analyzed in relation to their perceptions on offender reentry and the oil boom.

Abstract:

This essay presents empirical tests of one of the conclusions from Bryan Caplan's 2007 book The Myth of the Rational Voter. Caplan claims that voters suffer from systematic biases about economic policy that through elections affects economic policy negatively. I derive three hypotheses from Caplan's theory and test them on a cross-country panel of 19 countries covering the time 1973 to 2009. The hypotheses stipulate that increased turnout lead to lower economic freedom, lower levels of foreign aid and higher inflation. After controlling for country specific effects turnout does not seem to have the effect stipulated in the three hypotheses.

Abstract:
Economic growth is what mainly determines the material wellbeing of human beings and anything that retards that wellbeing should be investigated so that it can be understood, and, where possible, rectified. Scotland's economic growth rate, in terms of GDP and per capita GDP, has lagged that in the rest of the UK for some time and this thesis hypothesises that, perhaps, North Sea oil exploitation might explain at least some of that lower growth. This thesis analyses the natural resource curse hypothesis with particular focus on North Sea oil and its impact on the Scottish economic growth rate between 1970 and 2006 and asks whether Scotland's economic growth rate has been retarded since North Sea oil and gas first came to be exploited in a major way in the mid-1970s. This retardation of economic growth, when linked to natural resource abundance, is known as the natural resource curse. An important complication is that Scotland was part of the United Kingdom during this period, albeit one with a devolved government since 1999. Consequently, the thesis makes several assumptions in an attempt to disaggregate the economy of the UK into Scotland and the rest of the UK. The thesis makes three findings: Scotland was on an unsustainable consumption path between 1970 and 2006; cross-sectional analysis shows a 0.22% shortfall in the Scottish GDP per capita growth rate relative to that in the rest of the UK; analysis of a panel of data demonstrates that North Sea oil exploitation reduced the Scottish long-run growth rate by -0.29% per year. Taken as a whole, the evidence provided by the thesis suggests that Scotland might have been better off, in growth rate terms, without the discovery of North Sea oil and therefore suggests that Scotland is a victim of the natural resource curse.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 68-70).
The idea that massive natural resource endowments would lead countries to weak economic growth and development is counterintuitive. Oil, gas, copper, gold or other resource riches should, at least in theory, spearhead countries with such natural wealth to growth that parallels non-commodity-based economies and help them achieve high-income status. This has not been the case for majority of the endowed countries particularly in North Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. With few exceptions, such as Norway, Botswana, Chile or Australia, the resources proved to be a curse. I begin with a survey of previous academic literature and research on the effects of natural resources on a given country's economic, social and political development. I then move to exploring the many challenges and pitfalls faced by resource-based economies. Such concepts as the Dutch Disease, Rentier State, Governance and Corruption are discussed. In the final section, outline different methods of the resource curse management by first exploring monetary and fiscal policies, and later touching upon the issues of responsible governance. I conclude by proposing a multi-step framework for resource management.
