The Image Of The Library In The Life And Work Of Charles Williams, Michael J. Paulus Jr. Dec 2016

The Image Of The Library In The Life And Work Of Charles Williams, Michael J. Paulus Jr.

Michael J. Paulus, Jr.

Charles Williams, the “third” or “oddest” Inkling, was an author and a publisher whose life was significantly shaped by books. But every book he read, wrote, published, or discussed was a compromise—of meaning, form, or craft. Yet each book participated in the hope of redemption and reconciliation through its connections with other books. The way these connections co-inhere suggests an important image for understanding Williams’s books as well as his life: the library.
 
Focusing on the Masques of Amen House, a trilogy of plays set in the library of the Oxford University Press London office, this paper explores the …


Intersecting Sexual, Gender And Professional Identities Among Social Work Students: The Importance Of Identity Integration, Shelley L. Craig Phd, Gio Iacono, Megan S. Paceley, Michael P. Dentato Phd, Msw, Kerrie E.H. Boyle Dec 2016

Intersecting Sexual, Gender And Professional Identities Among Social Work Students: The Importance Of Identity Integration, Shelley L. Craig Phd, Gio Iacono, Megan S. Paceley, Michael P. Dentato Phd, Msw, Kerrie E.H. Boyle

Michael P. Dentato

Discrimination toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social work students can negatively affect academic performance and personal and professional identity development. Intersectionality is a conceptual approach that states that social identities interact to form different meanings and experiences from those that could be explained by a single identity. This study explored how the educational experiences of LGBTQ social work students in the United States and Canada influenced their professional and personal identities. Using an intersectional analysis, three major themes emerged: the need for social work programs to better promote LGBTQ identity and emerging social work professional identity integration, …

Exploring Authority In Linguistics Research: Who To Trust When Everyone’S A Language Expert, Catherine Baird, Jonathan Howell Dec 2016

Exploring Authority In Linguistics Research: Who To Trust When Everyone’S A Language Expert, Catherine Baird, Jonathan Howell

Jonathan Howell

Many instruction librarians use the CRAAP test or a similar pneumonic tool as a regular activity in information literacy instruction classes. This involves having the students in the class select one or more sources and instructing them to answer a series of questions about these sources, as prompted by a simple checklist. Is the selected source Current, Relevant, Authoritative, Accurate and What is its Purpose? The goal is to help the students ascertain whether or not they should select this source and use it for an assignment. On occasion, a student will raise a hand and ask a simple question: …

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Increases Amygdala Connectivity With The Cognitive Control Network In Both Mdd And Ptsd, Haochang Shou, Zhen Yang, Theodore D. Satterthwaite, Philip A. Cook, Steven E. Bruce, Russell T. Shinohara, Benjamin Rosenberg, Yvette I. Sheline

Steven Bruce

Background
Both major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are characterized by alterations in intrinsic functional connectivity. Here we investigated changes in intrinsic functional connectivity across these disorders as a function of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an effective treatment in both disorders.

Methods
53 unmedicated right-handed participants were included in a longitudinal study. Patients were diagnosed with PTSD (n = 18) and MDD (n = 17) with a structured diagnostic interview and treated with 12 sessions of manualized CBT over a 12-week period. Patients received an MRI scan (Siemens 3 T Trio) before and after treatment. Longitudinal functional …


The Resilient Self: Gender, Immigration, And Taiwanese Americans, Chien-Juh Gu Dec 2016

The Resilient Self: Gender, Immigration, And Taiwanese Americans, Chien-Juh Gu

Chien-Juh Gu

The Resilient Self examines how international migration re-shapes women’s senses of themselves. Chien-Juh Gu uses life-history interviews and ethnographic observations to illustrate how immigration creates gendered work and family contexts for middle-class Taiwanese American women, who, in turn, negotiate and resist the social and psychological effects of the processes of immigration and settlement. 

Most of the women immigrated as dependents when their U.S.-educated husbands found professional jobs upon graduation. Constrained by their dependent visas, these women could not work outside of the home during the initial phase of their settlement. The significant contrast of their lives before and after immigration—changing …

Social Movements As Catalysts For Corporate Social Innovation: Environmental Activism And Adoption Of Green Information Systems, Edward Carberry, Pratyush Bharati, David Levy, Abhijit Chaudhury Dec 2016

Social Movements As Catalysts For Corporate Social Innovation: Environmental Activism And Adoption Of Green Information Systems, Edward Carberry, Pratyush Bharati, David Levy, Abhijit Chaudhury

Pratyush Bharati

Although the literature on social innovation has focused primarily on social enterprises, social innovation has long occurred within mainstream corporations. Drawing upon recent scholarship on social movements and institutional complexity, we analyze how movements foster corporate social innovation. Our context is the adoption of green information systems (“green IS”), which are information systems employed to transform organizations and society into more sustainable entities. We trace the historical emergence of green IS as a corporate response to increasing demands for sustainability reporting, a key social innovation that environmental activists helped to create. Drawing upon extensive survey data from over 400 US …


The Effectiveness Of Business Dealings On The Relationships, Edward Humphries, Jefferson W. Lee Dec 2016

The Effectiveness Of Business Dealings On The Relationships, Edward Humphries, Jefferson W. Lee

International Scientific Journals

Despite the conventional wisdom that relationship marketing will generate favourable results, extant marketing research provides inconsistent evidence for this effect. This paper presents the effects of multilevel marketingon relationships and friendships in India. The paper describes what multilevel marketing is, where did it originate from, the way people approach customers and how the customers feel about it. Multilevel marketing is used for product distribution through independent distributors. This paper will also look into the type of mediums these distributors use and how effective each one is in selling their products. However, this paper was answered this question that: Does a firm's …


What Is The Microorganism In Waste Management?, Karim Saleh Al-Laham, Joly B. Ward Dec 2016

What Is The Microorganism In Waste Management?, Karim Saleh Al-Laham, Joly B. Ward

International Scientific Journals

Due to a wide range of industrial and agricultural activities, a high number of chemical contaminants is released into the environment, causing a significant concern regarding potential toxicity, carcinogenicity, and potential for bioaccumulation in living systems of various chemicals in soil. Although microbial activity in soil accounts for most of the degradation of organic contaminants, chemical and physical mechanisms can also provide significant transformation pathways for these compounds. Phytoremediation, with the associated role of rhizosphere microorganisms, is therefore an important tool in bioremediation processes. Various bioremediation configurations as options for treatment of different classes of chemicals have been evaluated. The analysis …

Review Of Koichi Hasegawa's Book Beyond Fukushima, Daniel P. Aldrich Dec 2016

Review Of Koichi Hasegawa's Book Beyond Fukushima, Daniel P. Aldrich

Daniel P Aldrich

This important new book tackles a question that has vexed many observers since the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami set off meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plants in Japan. While in the early 2000s many observers proclaimed the start of a global nuclear renaissance, the inability of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to prevent and then successful contain a nuclear accident at Fukushima put that on hold.


Trust Deficit: Japanese Communities And The Challenge Of Rebuilding Tohoku, Daniel P. Aldrich Dec 2016

Trust Deficit: Japanese Communities And The Challenge Of Rebuilding Tohoku, Daniel P. Aldrich

Daniel P Aldrich

Trust between civil society and the state is a necessary pre-condition for successful public policy in advanced industrial democracies. It is all the more important following a mass catastrophe that affects hundreds of thousands and upends the rhythms of daily life across the country. Choices made by the Japanese government and energy utilities during and after the compounded 11 March 2011 disasters damaged relationships between civil society, utility firms, and the government. This article looks at how decision makers in Japan continue to struggle with a trust deficit and how that gap has altered the behavior of NGOs and civil …


Creating Community Resilience Through Elder-Led Physical And Social Infrastructure, Daniel P. Aldrich, Emi Kiyota Dec 2016

Creating Community Resilience Through Elder-Led Physical And Social Infrastructure, Daniel P. Aldrich, Emi Kiyota

Daniel P Aldrich

Objective: Natural disasters and rapidly aging populations are chronic problems for societies worldwide. We investigated the effects of an intervention in Japan known as Ibasho, which embeds elderly residents in vulnerable areas within larger social networks and encourages them to participate in leadership activities. This project sought to deepen the connections of these elderly residents to society and to build elderly leadership and community capacity for future crises. Methods: We carried out surveys of participants and nonparticipant residents across the city of Ofunato in Tohoku, Japan, 1 year after the intervention began. Our surveys included questions assessing participation levels in …


All Politics Is Local: Judicial And Electoral Institutions’ Role In Japan’S Nuclear Restarts, Daniel P. Aldrich, Timothy Fraser Dec 2016

All Politics Is Local: Judicial And Electoral Institutions’ Role In Japan’S Nuclear Restarts, Daniel P. Aldrich, Timothy Fraser

Daniel P Aldrich

Since the 3/11 compounded disasters, Japanese energy policy, especially its nuclear policy, has been paralyzed. After the Fukushima disasters, public opinion turned against nuclear energy while the central government continues to push for restarts of the many offline reactors. Based on nearly thirty interviews with relevant actors and primary and secondary materials, we use qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) and five case studies to illuminate the impact of conditions influencing reactor restarts in Japan after 3/11. We investigate which local actors hold the greatest power to veto nuclear power policy, and why and when they choose to use it. Key decisions …


The Importance Of Social Capital In Building Community Resilience, Daniel P. Aldrich Dec 2016

The Importance Of Social Capital In Building Community Resilience, Daniel P. Aldrich

Daniel P Aldrich

This chapter uses examples from a number of recent disasters to illuminate the ways that social capital serves as a critical part of resilience. Specifically the article looks at the response from the perspective of social networks to disaster in Bangkok, Thailand, the Tohoku region of Japan, and Christchurch in New Zealand. I introduce three types of social capital—bonding, bridging, and linking— and discuss the mechanism by which they are created and employed using concrete examples. In these cases social cohesion keeps people from leaving disaster-struck regions, allows for the easy mobilization of groups, and provides informal insurance
when normal …

Intersectionality And Development: Exploring Equity In All Dimensions, Renee Hatcher Dec 2016

Intersectionality And Development: Exploring Equity In All Dimensions, Renee Hatcher

Renee Hatcher

Equity is a word that gets thrown around often in economic development. Terms such as equitable development, regional equity, and equitable growth all too often become little more than rhetorical intent concerning development initiatives, as opposed to a principle of practice. Historically, women, the disabled, indigenous peoples, Blacks, and other people of color have meaningfully been left out of the development process. All the while, normative pro-growth economic development strategies have affected minority and marginalized communities differently, largely producing inequitable outcomes that shape the experiences and hardships of those outside of the towers of power. These burdens and hardships range …
