Sister Gen: A Case Study Of Vincentian Leadership, Joseph Mccann C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Studies

From 1961 to 1988, Genevieve O’Farrell, a Daughter of Charity, was the principal of Saint Louise’s Comprehensive College in Belfast. Her many achievements as a leader of the school and within Belfast are described, along with her own formation, the events and characteristics that made her a leader, and the lessons that may be drawn from her life and career. She consistently raised the school’s academic standards and promoted service to the community even while it was surrounded by the violence of the “Troubles.”

Translating Vincent De Paul For The 21st Century: A Case Study Of Vincentian Mission Effectiveness Efforts At Depaul University, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D. Oct 2005

Translating Vincent De Paul For The 21st Century: A Case Study Of Vincentian Mission Effectiveness Efforts At Depaul University, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Studies

Edward Udovic believes that the success that DePaul University enjoys today depends on its translation of the Vincentian mission and values into modern terms to meet modern needs. Like Vincent de Paul himself, the university is “values-driven, connected to the community, supportive of diversity . . . risk-tak[ing], innovative, and pragmatic.” The state of the Congregation is such that its members may lack a “physical presence, canonical sponsorship role, or governance role” at DePaul by 2023. However, it is already passing on its values to the lay members of the university, ensuring that its Vincentian character will continue even without …

Mechanism Of Current Collapse Removal In Field-Plated Nitride Hfets, Alexei Koudymov, V. Adivarahan, Jinwei Yang, Grigory Simin, Asif Khan Oct 2005

Mechanism Of Current Collapse Removal In Field-Plated Nitride Hfets, Alexei Koudymov, V. Adivarahan, Jinwei Yang, Grigory Simin, Asif Khan

Faculty Publications

An experimental study of the mechanism of RF current collapse removal in high-power nitride-based HFETs is presented. The results show that the conductivity of the dielectric material under the field plate plays a crucial role in the current collapse removal. Identical geometry field plated HFETs differing only in the FP dielectric conductivity show varying degree of current collapse removal. Devices with semiconducting dielectric layers exhibit perfectly linear RF power - drain bias dependence with the output powers of 20 W/mm at 55 V drain bias with essentially no current collapse. A trapped charge discharging model is presented to explain the …

Review Of C. D. Elledge, The Statutes Of The King: The Temple Scroll’S Legislation On Kingship (11q19 Lvi12-Lix21), Sidnie White Crawford

Department of Classics and Religious Studies: Faculty Publications

C. D. Elledge has presented a thorough study of the section of the Temple Scroll known as “The Statutes of the King” (cols. 56-59 of 11QTemplea). Since Yigael Yadin’s magisterial edition of the most complete manuscript of the Temple Scroll, 11Q19, in 1977 (rev. Eng. ed. 1983), two or three further manuscripts of the Temple Scroll have been published: 11QTempleb and 11QTemplec? by Florentino García Martínez et al. in 1997, and the important 4QRouleau de Temple (4Q524) by Emile Puech in 1998. E. uses all the available manuscript evidence for cols. 56-59 to construct a …

Acute Small Bowel Obstruction Due To Bilharziasis, Rahman Gul, Kamran Khalid, Mohammad F. Al-Rajhi, Hayan A. Bismar Oct 2005

Acute Small Bowel Obstruction Due To Bilharziasis, Rahman Gul, Kamran Khalid, Mohammad F. Al-Rajhi, Hayan A. Bismar

Saudi Medical Journal

Schistosomiasis remains a major world health problem. The disease presents with protean manifestations in the endemic areas. Small bowel schistosomiasis leading to acute intestinal obstruction is an extremely rare clinical presentation. The disease may mimic peritoneal tuberculosis or carcinomatosis intra-operatively. Small bowel bilharziasis leading to obstruction has not been reported in the recent indexed English literature. This report describes a 50-year-old Yemeni male presenting with acute small bowel obstruction due to schistosomiasis. We review the pathological changes in the intestine following schistosomal infection and discuss diagnosis and treatment. We emphasize the importance of histopathology on all surgical specimens.

The Role Of Women And The Vincentian Culturescape, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C. Oct 2005

The Role Of Women And The Vincentian Culturescape, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C.

Vincentian Studies

Betty Ann McNeil “considers examples of the primary strategies and resources that Vincentian leaders have used to empower others to commit themselves to mission and to communicate the founding charism across boundaries of time and cultures.” Her focus is on the contributions that women have made to the Vincentian culturescape. Daughters of Charity and Sisters of Charity who have had major roles in passing the charism down through their communities are profiled. McNeil writes that one way the charism is successfully handed on is through stories of individuals who lived it. In particular, Elizabeth Seton’s introduction of the charism to …

Vincentian Leadership—Advocating For Justice, Craig B. Mousin Oct 2005

Vincentian Leadership—Advocating For Justice, Craig B. Mousin

Vincentian Studies

DePaul University employs thousands of people. As Craig Mousin writes, “To do justice to those we seek to serve necessitates that we do justice to those who engage in our work.” He explores “the centrality of work to life and mission” (including the personal and individual missions employees have for themselves) and what justice in the workplace means. He “examine[s] historical concepts of justice to understand what an advocate of justice works toward in a Vincentian institution.” Mousin also discusses how Vincentian leadership principles and “understandings of justice” should be applied in employment situations, especially when the law might advise …

Informal Animation Sketching With K-Sketch, Richard Christopher Davis Oct 2005

Informal Animation Sketching With K-Sketch, Richard Christopher Davis

Research Collection School of Computing and Information Systems

Animation is a powerful medium that is accessible to few, because current animation tools are extremely complex. This complexity arises partially from current tools’ focus on precise, often unnecessary details and partially from the difficulty of finding a small but sufficiently powerful set of tool features. We are designing K-Sketch, an informal 2D animation tool that uses sketching and demonstration to radically reduce the time needed to create an animation. Our field studies investigating the needs of current anima-tion tool users and would-be users are helping us to mini-mize complexity by showing us how to prioritize the many possible tool …

How To Understand China: The Dangers And Opportunities Of Being A Rising Power, William A. Callahan Oct 2005

How To Understand China: The Dangers And Opportunities Of Being A Rising Power, William A. Callahan

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

china’s situation lends itself to hyperbole. the people’s republic of china (prc) has the largest population in the world, the fastest growing economy in the world, the largest army in the world, the largest middle class in the world, a permanent seat on the united nations security council, a manned space programme, a nuclear arsenal, and so on. but analysts, commentators and policymakers have yet to decide just how to understand china.

Symposium: International Legal Dimensions Of Art And Cultural Property, Jeffrey Schoenblum Oct 2005

Symposium: International Legal Dimensions Of Art And Cultural Property, Jeffrey Schoenblum

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The market for art and cultural property is international. Demand is intense and not particularly local in terms of consumer preference. Supply responds to this intense international demand. Like most anything else, art finds its way to whomever is prepared to pay for it. Regulation affects how it arrives at its ultimate destination, but generally does not prevent it from getting there. Apart from this international market, legal and policy aspects of art and cultural property have a distinctly international flavor due to historical circumstance. Since many works over time have been removed from their source by way of conquest, …

Toward A Cleaner Whiteness: New Racial Identities, David Ingram Oct 2005

Toward A Cleaner Whiteness: New Racial Identities, David Ingram

Philosophy: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The article re-examines racial and ethnic identity within the context of pedagogical attempts to instill a positive white identity in white students who are conscious of the history of white racism and white privilege. The paper draws heavily from whiteness studies and developmental cognitive science in arguing (against Henry Giroux and Stuart Hall) that a positive notion of white identity, however postmodern its construction, is an oxymoron, since whiteness designates less a cultural/ethnic ethos and meaningful way of life than a pathological structure of privilege and narrowminded cognitive habitus.

A basic vocabulary is essential to understand the religious symbolism inherent in these films. The following article shall provide the reader a short introduction to the main religious themes of the movie and shall enable her/him to understand …
