This thesis presents an analysis of organizational factors influencing Consequence Management of Dysfunctional Behavior and develops a framework for use by organizations regarding how they can more effectively reduce the incidences and manage the consequences of Dysfunctional Behavior. Twenty-five (25) Christian Evangelical Mission Organizations (CEMOs), located in the United States of America, provided substantive resources for this study including: fifteen that provided responses to surveys, four that provided organizational documents for analysis, and forty-four persons from twenty-one organizations were interviewed for the purpose of defining Dysfunctional Behavior, identifying the consequences stemming from that Dysfunctional Behavior, and establishing the extent of strategies for managing the consequences of Dysfunctional Behavior. A Strategic Model Template (SMT) is presented for organizations to use as a means of identifying Dysfunctional Behavior and effectively conducting Consequence Management. To this end, several typologies (Dysfunctional Behavior, Consequences, Sources of Information, Severity of Dysfunctional Behavior, Severity of Consequences, and Rationale for Consequence Management) are presented together with a Consequence Management Matrix as necessary both to the development of the SMT and its implementation with Strategic Integrity. The discovery of The Constraining Triangle identifies the forces unique to CEMOs that work to prevent the effective application of Consequence Management. These forces are a result of CEMO history and traditions and CEMO theology and the theology of CEMO members.

The only previously known compounds of tervalent uranium were prepared in the dry way because of their rapid oxidation by air or water, and the preparation of hydrated salts has been thought impossible. This work reports the preparations, and magnetic and spectral properties of the following, mainly hydrated compounds of tervalent uranium: (a) uranium(Ill) sulphate octahydrate and dihydrate: and the related sparingly soluble double sulphates M[2]SO[4].U[2](SO[4])[3].xH[2]O (M = Na, K, Rb2 Cs, NH[4], and N[2]H[5]), K[5]U(SO[4])[4]. 'H[2]O'; (b) the 'purple' double chlorides MUC1[4].4-5H[2]O (M = K, kb, and NH[4]), and the 'green' double chlorides MUCl[4].ca.6H[2]O (M = Rb and NH[4]); and (c) the first- uranium(III), complexes wish organic ligands, hexakis(phenazone)- and hexakis-(li-aminophenazone) uranium(lII) chloride. These compounds were isolated from aqueous uranium(lll) solutions obtained by electrolytic reduction. All preparations have been carried out under nitrogen to prevent aerial oxidation. Oxidation by water has been minimised by isolating the compounds as rapidly as possible, and by the use of cold solutions and carefully purified reagents. Uranium(IIl) salts such as the sulphates and one series of chlorides are olive-green where water alone is coordinated. These compounds have very similar reflectance and solution spectra. The purple colour of the other series of chlorides which is mainly due to a broad intense hand at 18s000cm.[-1] absent in the other salts, is thought to he due to the effect of coordinated chloride on the f - d transitions. Infra-red spectroscopy has shown the presence of coordinated (bidentate) sulphate in K[5]U(SO[4])[4]. 'H[2]O', hut that the simple sulphates and the other double sulphates contain only ionic sulphate, 'Purple' RhUCl[4]. 4-5H[2]O has far infra-red absorptions at 230cm.[-1] and 196cm.[-1] considered to he due to U - Cl stretching vibrations. The uranium(IIl) sulphates, double sulphates and double chlorides show similar magnetic behaviour. Their moments at room temperature are appreciably lower than the free uranium(lll) ion value, and they decrease with temperature. These compounds obey the Curie-Weiss law but with large theta values and below about 120°K the plots curve towards the temperature axis. The curvature and large theta values are thought to arise from ligand field effects rather than from intermolecular antiferromagnetism.
