Clara Voce—The Greeting Of Heart And Spirit, Marcia Newman

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

We began our lesson by visioning her voice, where the voice was going, where she wanted to place it, where she intended the sound to flow, what she desired to express through the music, and what she wanted to feel after having sung the piece. We warmed up with vocal exercises and then I stopped and asked her, "Why sing? Why take time out of your hectic day at the bank to come here and sing?" "Because the gift of music should be used," she answered. "It gives me joy." Clara voce- clear voice -the greeting of heart and spirit.

Servant-Leadership: Reflection On A 30-Year Partnership Of The Spirit, Ann Mcgee-Cooper, Duane Trammell, Gary Looper

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

This is a story about serendipity, synergy and synchronicity. Thirty years ago, three lives converged as a result of a chance meeting. Their collective calling gave birth to a vision that has transformed three generations of leaders. Robert K. Greenleaf rose to a challenge from his economics professor to find ways to transform the dysfunction within large businesses and organizations by working from the inside. He captured the imagination of many with his seminal essay, The Servant as Leader. In it, he thoughtfully delineated a practical philosophy of leadership that was dramatically different from the traditional model of the "egocentric" …

Maestro: Exploring The Development Of A Servant-Leader, Martha Helland

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

I don't know that I can define or articulate my leadership style. I can only think that I always tried to be prepared musically. Beyond that I guess I just tried to get the job done in a way that enables others to do their best and that affirms and supports them as professionals and as wondeiful people. -Henry Charles Smith A large portion of existing servant-leadership literature focuses on defining what it is, describing how it differs from other leadership practices, discussing its merits, verifying its efficacy, and persuading others to embrace and practice its principles across a broad …

Corazon “Cory” Aquino: Global Servant-Leader, Shann Ferch

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

November 26, 2004 Manila, the Philippines Ferch: Thank you, President Aquino, for this interview. What happened to make you the leader of the Philippines? Aquino: Well, circumstances prevailed. First my husband was assassinated. And then, of course, we had been living under a dictatorship. And at that time, I was never considering myself as a presidential candidate. But as the opposition, I suppose, looked around and searched for the best possible candidate against a dictator, a number of them were convinced that it had to be somebody the opposite of Marcos-if possible, the complete opposite of Marcos. So I suppose …

Servant-Leadership: A Model Aligned With Chaos Theory, Mark Rennaker

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Greenleaf (1977) proposed the true test of servant-leadership as leaders reproducing their inclination to serve in others. However, current servantleadership models do not clearly demonstrate such generativity. By modifying the Patterson (2003 )-Winston (2003) servant-leadership model to demonstrate more clearly the reproduction of the service inclination both in dyadic and in organizational dimensions, this study will contribute to servant-leadership "theory-building" (Lynham, 2002, p. 221). The proposed servant-leadership model, aligned with chaos theory, will give scholars and practitioners a better understanding of the practice and effect of servantleadership.

How Is Your Leadership Changing?, Margaret Wheatley

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

I'm sad to report that in the past few years, ever since uncertainty became our insistent 21st century companion, leadership has taken a great leap backwards to the familiar territory of command and control. Some of this was to be expected, because humans usually default to the known when confronted with the unknown. Some of it was a surprise, because so many organizations had focused on innovation, quality, learning organizations, and human motivation. How did they fail to learn that whenever you impose control on people and situations, you only succeed in turning people into non-creative, shut-down and cynical workers?

Effects Of Food Type, Feeding Frequency, And Temperature On Juvenile Survival And Growth Of Marisa Cornuarietis (Mollusca: Gastropoda), Henriette Selck, John Aufderheide, Nadine Pounds, Charles Staples, Norbert Caspers, Valery E. Forbes

Valery Forbes Publications

The present experiments are part of a larger study designed to investigate the influence of husbandry parameters on the life history of the ramshorn snail, Marisa cornuarietis, in order to identify suitable husbandry conditions for maintaining multi-generation populations in the laboratory for use in ecotoxicological testing. In this paper we focus on the effects of a combination of food types and feeding frequencies (i.e., the frequency with which the snails were offered food) on juvenile growth and survival at different temperatures. Offspring produced in the laboratory by wild specimens of M. cornuarietis, from Puerto Rico, were used to …

Jules Verne's Very Far West: America As Testing Ground In Les 500 Millions De La Bégum, Peter Schulman

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

[First Paragraph] In his famous interview with the American journalist Robert H. Sherard in 1894, Jules Verne, nearing the end of his life, regretted not being able to see America one last time. "I should have liked to have gone to Chicago this year," he lamented, "but in the state of my health [...] it was quite impossible. I do so love America and the American," he continued, "As you are writing for America, be sure to tell them that if they love me- as I know they do, for I receive thousands of letters every year from the States- …

Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Against West Nile Virus Envelope Protein Administered After Neuronal Infection Protects Against Lethal Encephalitis In Hamsters, John D. Morrey, V. Siddharthan, Aaron L. Olsen, G. Y. Roper, H. Wang, Thomas J. Baldwin, S. Koenig, S. Johnson, J. L. Nordstrom, M. S. Diamond

Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science Faculty Publications

Humans infected with West Nile virus (WNV) may clinically present with symptoms that are suggestive of neurological infection. Nearly all treatments of WNV disease have been effective in animal models only if administered before or soon after viral challenge. Here, we evaluated whether a potent neutralizing anti-WNV humanized monoclonal antibody (MAb), hE16, could improve the course of disease in a hamster model when administered after the virus had infected neurons in the brain. Five days after viral injection, WNV was detected in the brains of hamsters by cytopathic assay, quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, and immunohistochemical staining of WNV envelope …

Detection Of Early Stages Of Myxobolus Cerebralis In Fin Clips From Rainbow Trout (Onchorynchus Mykiss), Ramona T. Skirpstunas, J. Hergert, Thomas J. Baldwin

Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science Faculty Publications

A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was used to detect early stages of Myxobolus cerebralis in caudal and adipose fin samples from rainbow trout (RT). To determine sensitivity, groups of 10 RT were exposed to 2,000 M. cerebralis triactinomyxons/fish for 1 hour at 15 degrees C and subsequently moved to clean recirculating water. Fish were held for 2 and 6 hours and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 30, and 60 days before sampling by nonlethal fin biopsy. Nested PCR performed on fin clips showed that M. cerebralis DNA was detected in caudal fin tissue in 100% of fish …

Mobility And Fate Of Contaminants In Estuarine Environments, Mark G. Cantwell

Open Access Dissertations

Many estuaries are degraded to some extent by anthropogenic activities which have released pollutants into waters entering or residing in these ecosystems. When organic chemicals and heavy metals enter the estuarine environment, contaminants rapidly become incorporated into the sediment, due to physical and chemical processes. Their subsequent behavior and mobility is influenced to a great extent by water column conditions and the geochemistry of the receiving sediments. Ultimately, the fate of contaminants in estuaries are decided by their transport and eventual burial. Objectives of this research were to (1) reconstruct the recent contaminant history of heavy metals and organic contaminants …

The Relationship Between Tactical Knowledge And Tactical Performance For Varying Levels Of Expertise, Robin Kirkwood Auld

Open Access Dissertations

This study examines the relationship between off-the-ball tactical knowledge and off-the-ball tactical performance of college-age female participants' (n = 34) with varying levels of expertise in territorial games. Tactical knowledge was measured using the Tactical Knowledge Instrument (TKI), which assessed participant responses when solving a "maintaining possession" tactical problem on a game board. The Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) measured participants' tactical performance while they played a directional keep-away game in the gymnasium. Analysis of variance tests revealed a significant difference between the tactical knowledge scores between Expert and Novice participants F(2,31) = 6.09, p = .0059. As the expertise …

Late Holocene Climate Variability As Preserved In High-Resolution Estuarine And Lacustrine Sediment Archives, Jeremiah Bradford Hubeny

Open Access Dissertations

Concern regarding human-induced environmental and climate changes is becoming higher-profile. Aquatic sediment that is preserved at the bottom of a lake, estuary, or ocean provide high-quality proxy records of environmental and climate conditions that extend past the instrumental period. This dissertation performs high-resolution proxy analyses from annually resolved sediment records in Rhode Island and central New York State to interpret the natural and anthropogenically induced changes that have occurred over the Late Holocene. The Pettaquamscutt River Estuary's Lower Basin was studied and the post-glacial stratigraphy was interpreted. High-productivity lacustrine sedimentation started at ca. 15,500 cal BP and density-stratified estuarine conditions …

The Genres Of Tutor Training: Searching For Reflective Practice, Elaine Hays

Open Access Dissertations

As those involved in writing center work acknowledge, tutor training, whether informal or formal, is at the center of effective one-on-one instruction. The tutor training manual has become a popular tool for tutor education, but not always deemed useful. Likewise, the activities called "tutor training," vary with institutional context and, of course, budget and time. Still, from the onset of peer tutor training and collaborative learning, the intellectual development of the tutor was deemed as significant, if not more so, than assuring that the tutors knew what to do, or not do, during a tutoring session. Drawing on a lineage …

Exercise Behavior Among Women Post-Myocardial Infarction: Applying The Transtheoretical Model Of Behavior Change, Janet K. Dombroski

Open Access Dissertations

Exercise adherence among women post-myocardial infarction (MI) is a major health issue. The lack of exercise adherence prevents women from attaining the multiple benefits of exercise and exacerbates cardiovascular disease. Factors identified as determining adherence to therapeutic regimen for women post-MI include personal factors, interpersonal factors, and environmental factors. A descriptive survey design utilizing the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM) (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982) was used to investigate the relationships among stage of change for exercise behavior, processes of change, decisional balance (pros and cons), and self-efficacy for exercise in women post-MI. The following research questions were addressed: (a) …

Women's Body Image, Patriarchy, And Photography: A Pictorial Content Analysis Of National Geographic's Representation Of Women., Kathryn D. Newhouse

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Women have been depicted within media outlets such as magazines as domestic caretakers for generations. While history has at times been positive in its representation of women, especially during World War II and the government’s plea for women to work in industry, the vast majority of media outlets after the war again created the housewife image from the years before the war for women to follow. The popular governmental posters with “Rosie the Riveter” stating, “We Can Do It!” were replaced with images of a happy wife tending house for her husband fresh from the war. While the posters were …

Mixed Blessings: The Great Lakes Compact And Agreement, The Ijc, And International Dispute Resolution, Austen L. Parrish

Articles by Maurer Faculty

For scholars of international law and international dispute resolution, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact and Agreement may seem a mixed blessing. On the one hand, they promise environmental cooperation and management of the Great Lakes at an unprecedented scale. The agreements have been heralded as a tremendous advancement in state-provincial relations. On the other hand, international scholars should be nervous for what the agreements signify for international law and dispute resolution. The Compact and Agreement are remarkable for replacing an already functioning regulatory regime: the 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty, administered by the International Joint Commission.
