All participants (n=120) answered the Cognition Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The acquired data of the present study showed a significant difference …

Building A Foundation For Crisis Intervention In Eastern Europe, Evan D. Parks

Evan D Parks

The principles of Critical Incident Stress Management for assisting individuals and groups are ap- plied to an Eastern European crisis event. This case study demonstrates the importance of understanding the cultural context where crisis events occur and the value of developing a network of local relationships as a step toward gaining credibility when working cross-culturally. I recount experiences over the past 13 years working in Eastern Europe as a clinical psychologist, consulting and intervening in a wide variety of critical incidents. There is a great need to raise the awareness of depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and addictions among health professionals, …

Governance, Business Environment, And Foreign Direct Investments, Riccardo Pelizzo, Omer F. Baris

riccardo pelizzo

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the quality of governance, the business environment and foreign direct investments. Looking at 49 countries in Africa, we present evidence supporting the claim that the quality of governance does affect the stability of policies and the quality of the business environment. However, our data analysis also reveals that neither the quality of governance nor the quality of the business environment have any impact, at least in Sub-Saharan Africa on the level of FDI.

Library Automation: Core Concepts And Practical Systems Analysis, Lizzy A. Walker

Lizzy A. Walker

Bilal discusses at length integrated library systems (ILS), provides and overview of the Library Automation Lifecycle (LALC), and emphasizes throughout the fact that technology changes rapidly. As a result of technological change, libraries will always be involved in some kind of ILS implementation project. The book is specifically designed for MLIS graduate students, educators, and researchers interested in library automation and ILSs, yet the author also creates a valuable resource that any type of library can use as a reference.

Expertise And Service: A Call To Action, Rebecca Butler

Rev. Rebecca Butler

Although theological librarianship occurs most often at seminaries or graduate level theology programs, there are also librarians working with theology on an undergraduate level. In many cases, these librarians are responsible for additional subject areas and may or may not have any theological expertise or training. While the two groups do the same types of work, they are doing so in different ways. To explore these commonalities and differences, a study was conducted among undergraduate theology liaisons and those results were compared with the literature and data regarding graduate level theological librarianship. One hundred ten undergraduate librarians responded to a …

Towards A Professional Sociology On China, Xiaogang Wu

Xiaogang Wu

This article identifies two internal tensions that Chinese sociology has constantly encountered since the discipline was reestablished in 1979: public versus professional and indigenization versus internationalization. I argue that professionalization is a necessary and crucial step to achieving unity in the study of social changes in contemporary China and to contributing to general knowledge in the discipline of sociology.

Die Zukunft Der Oas. Wege Aus Der Krise Der Regionalorganisation Amerikanischer Staaten, Günther Maihold

Günther Maihold

Am 18. März 2015 wird der neue Generalsekretär der Organisation Amerikanischer Staaten (OAS) gewählt. Der anstehende Amtswechsel ist jenseits der konkreten Per-sonalie auch deshalb von Interesse, weil die künftige Rolle der zentralen Organisation der westlichen Hemisphäre zur Debatte steht. 1948 gegründet, haftet der OAS noch immer der Ruch des Kalten Krieges an, die Neubestimmung ihrer Rolle in der Region ist mithin überfällig. Gleichzeitig muss sich diese älteste Regionalorganisation der Welt intern umfassend reorganisieren, um die Anpassung ihres Mandats mit ihren politi-schen und finanziellen Möglichkeiten in Einklang zu bringen. Besonderes Augenmerk hat dabei der Bewahrung des interamerikanischen Menschenrechtssystems zu gelten.

La Transformación De La Violencia En América Latina, Günther Maihold, Werner Mackenbach

Günther Maihold

Tanto la visión sociológica como el análisis desde los estudios culturales hacen evidente que se está realizando una transformación de la violencia acompañada por una penetración de ésta en los muy diversos espacios de convivencia en América Latina. Justamente los estratos sociales han cambiado su actitud frente a la violencia: mientras que antes dominaba una postura de levantamiento y un discurso motivado por la justicia social, estamos asistiendo hoy en día a una reacción de pasividad y de narcosis traumatizada. La sociedad parece estar obligada a aceptar una violencia ante la ausencia de alternativas, llegando a situaciones en las cuales …

Creating Audience And Environment-Friendly Research Guides: Findings From A User Study, Jessica Alverson, James Lefager, Jennifer Schwartz, Amelia Brunskill

Jessica Alverson

Like many libraries, our institution had relied on a one-size-fits-all model for our subject research guides without considering the various audiences using our guides, or the different contexts in which students encounter those guides. Learn about our user study that explored how students use these guides, and where they fit into the actual research process. We will discuss how we engaged librarians and created a new model that balances diverse research needs and expectations.

Through The Lens Of Innovation, Mirit Eyal-Cohen

Mirit Eyal-Cohen

The legal system constantly follows the footsteps of innovation and attempts to discourage its migration overseas. Yet, present legal rules that inform and explain entrepreneurial circumstances lack a core understanding of the concept of innovation. By its nature, law imposes order. It provides rules, remedies, and classifications that direct behavior in a consistent manner. Innovation turns on the contrary. It entails making creative judgments about the unknown. It involves adapting to disarray. It thrives on deviations as opposed to traditional causation. This Article argues that these differences matter. It demonstrates that current laws lock entrepreneurs into inefficient legal routes. Using …

Holding Standards For Randsome: A Remedial Perspective On Rand Licensing Commitments, Layne S. Keele

Layne S. Keele

In Apple, Inc. v. Motorola, Inc., 757 F.3d 1286 (Fed. Cir. 2014), the four federal judges who considered the case—Judge Posner by designation at the trial level, and three Federal Circuit judges on appeal—all expressed differing opinions on the question of whether and to what extent extraordinary patent remedies should be available for the infringement of standard-essential patents. This article aims to simplify this muddled and confusing topic.

The article employs a teleological approach, examining the purposes behind remedies in general, the purposes of extraordinary remedies in patent law, and the purposes of RAND commitments (commitments to license standard-essential …

Is There A Relationship Between Research Sponsorship And Publication Impact? An Analysis Of Funding Acknowledgments In Nanotechnology Papers, Jue Wang, Philip Shapira

Philip Shapira

This study analyzes funding acknowledgments in scientific papers to investigate relationships between research sponsorship and publication impacts. We identify acknowledgments to research sponsors for nanotechnology papers published in the Web of Science during a one-year sample period. We examine the citations accrued by these papers and the journal impact factors of their publication titles. The results show that publications from grant sponsored research exhibit higher impacts in terms of both journal ranking and citation counts than research that is not grant sponsored. We discuss the method and models used, and the insights provided by this approach as well as it …

Lessons In Fiscal Activism, Mirit Eyal-Cohen

Mirit Eyal-Cohen

This article highlights an anomaly. It shows that two tax rules aimed to achieve a similar goal were introduced at the same time. Both meant to be temporary and bring economic stimuli but received a dramatically different treatment. The economically inferior rule survived while its superior counterpart did not. The article reviews the reasons for this paradox. It shows that the causes are both political and an agency problem. The article not only enriches an important and ongoing debate that has received much attention in recent years, but also provides important lessons to policymakers.

Estimating The Costs Of Foundational Public Health Services, Glen P. Mays

Glen Mays

The Institute of Medicine’s 2012 report on public health financing called for the convening of expert panels to identify the components of a “minimum package” of public health services and cross-cutting capabilities that should be available in every U.S. community to protect and improve population health. This report also called for studies to identify the resources required to make these services universally available across the country. This research brief describes the research methodology in use to generate first-generation estimates of current resource use and estimated resource needs for implementing foundational public health services and capabilities.
