Volunteering: An Untapped Impact, Lj Osborne Oct 2005

Volunteering: An Untapped Impact, Lj Osborne

Journal of Extension

Extension and other volunteer-based organizations have relied upon the number of volunteer hours as a way of reporting the organization's volunteer value to society. With the current legislative focus on the "Aging in America" issues, we are in a unique position of promoting a different type of impact for Extension's volunteer efforts. This article is based upon the efforts of Johns Hopkins researchers and earlier published works on how volunteering can reduce the three key risk factors of aging.

"There Is Great Charity, But ..." Vincent De Paul And The Organization Of Charity, Thomas G. Fuechtmann Ph.D. Oct 2005

"There Is Great Charity, But ..." Vincent De Paul And The Organization Of Charity, Thomas G. Fuechtmann Ph.D.

Vincentian Studies

Vincent de Paul was able to accomplish great works of charity because he was an extraordinary organizer and manager. His early experience at Chatillon-les-Dombes showed him the importance of organizing charity so that it could have effective, long-term results. Vincent’s methods are analyzed according to modern nonprofit organization theory, with particular emphasis on what he said and did regarding “foundation, mission and structure.” He attached special importance to meetings and staffing issues. The article also addresses how his ways of organizing can be applied to charity in the twenty-first century.

Cross-Cultural Vincentian Leadership: The Challenge Of Developing Culturally Intelligent Leaders, Marco Tavanti Ph.D. Oct 2005

Cross-Cultural Vincentian Leadership: The Challenge Of Developing Culturally Intelligent Leaders, Marco Tavanti Ph.D.

Vincentian Studies

As the Hay-Vincentian Leadership Project (HLP) becomes international in scope, Vincentian values must be applied in and sometimes adapted to cross-cultural contexts. The concepts of cultural diversity, cultural competence, and cultural intelligence are explained in general and against a Vincentian background. Qualities that make leaders effective in cross-cultural situations are explored. Vincent de Paul set an example for such success in the preparation he mandated for those going on foreign missions and in the sensitivity he showed in his own work with people from other cultures. Culture’s relationship to leadership is examined using the work of the anthropologist Edward Hall …

Chinese National Security: Decisionmaking Under Stress, Andrew Scobell Dr., Larry M. Wortzel Dr. Oct 2005

Chinese National Security: Decisionmaking Under Stress, Andrew Scobell Dr., Larry M. Wortzel Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This volume represents the fruits of a conference held at the U.S. Army War College in September 2005 on the theme of "Chinese Crisis Management." One of the major debates that emerged among participants was whether all the case studies under examination constituted crises in the eyes of China's leaders. The consensus was that not all of those incidents were perceived as crises. As a result the rubric of "decision making under stress" was adopted as presenters revised their papers for publication.

A Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Mutant Expressing A Baculovirus Inhibitor Of Apoptosis Gene In Place Of Latency-Associated Transcript Has A Wild-Type Reactivation Phenotype In The Mouse, Ling Jin, Guey-Chuen Perng, Kevin R. Mott, Nelson Osorio, Julie Naito, David J. Brick, Dale Carpenter, Clinton J. Jones, Steven L. Wechsler Oct 2005

A Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Mutant Expressing A Baculovirus Inhibitor Of Apoptosis Gene In Place Of Latency-Associated Transcript Has A Wild-Type Reactivation Phenotype In The Mouse, Ling Jin, Guey-Chuen Perng, Kevin R. Mott, Nelson Osorio, Julie Naito, David J. Brick, Dale Carpenter, Clinton J. Jones, Steven L. Wechsler

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

The latency-associated transcript (LAT) is essential for the wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) high-reactivation phenotype since LAT- mutants have a low-reactivation phenotype. We previously reported that LAT can decrease apoptosis and proposed that this activity is involved in LAT’s ability to enhance the HSV-1 reactivation phenotype. The first 20% of the primary 8.3-kb LAT transcript is sufficient for enhancing the reactivation phenotype and for decreasing apoptosis, supporting this proposal. For this study, we constructed an HSV-1 LAT- mutant that expresses the baculovirus antiapoptosis gene product cpIAP under control of the LAT promoter and in place of …
