Bringing Clean Energy To The Base Of The Pyramid: The Interplay Of Business Models, Technology, And Local Context, Emily Albi, Andrew E. Lieberman Dec 2013

Bringing Clean Energy To The Base Of The Pyramid: The Interplay Of Business Models, Technology, And Local Context, Emily Albi, Andrew E. Lieberman

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

Social enterprises are providing affordable energy and environmentally sustainable energy to a small but growing percentage of the four billion people living on less than $2,000/year. Santa Clara University’s Global Social Benefit Incubator (GSBITM) has worked with over 60 of these enterprises and profiled them on its Energy Map website. Based on this direct experience and associated research, the authors conclude that it is the interplay among innovative business models, quality technologies tailored to localized energy markets, and appropriate interfacing with local ecosystems that allows social enterprises to go to scale. This conclusion is supported by a review of prominent …


Scaling Impact In The Health Sector, Al Hammond Dec 2013

Scaling Impact In The Health Sector, Al Hammond

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

This essay examines possible routes to achieving significant health improvements in the underserved populations of developing countries. It argues that unconventional strategies, largely outside the health sector as conventionally defined, have the greatest potential to scale sustainably. The essay describes two such strategies—nutrition and safe drinking water. In particular, the essay argues that impact investors focused on social enterprises can best maximize their health impact by looking closely at the strategies described herein.

A Profile Of Black Women In The 21st Century Academy: Still Learning From The “Outsider-Within”, Jeffrianne Wilder, Tamara Bertrand Jones, La’Tara Osborne-Lampkin Dec 2013

A Profile Of Black Women In The 21st Century Academy: Still Learning From The “Outsider-Within”, Jeffrianne Wilder, Tamara Bertrand Jones, La’Tara Osborne-Lampkin

Journal of Research Initiatives

In 1986, sociologist Patricia Hill Collins published the groundbreaking essay, “Learning from the Outsider Within: The Sociological Significance of Black Feminist Thought.” In that pivotal piece, she describes the unique experiences and perspectives of Black women faculty in academia, specifically within predominately-white institutions (PWI’s). Today, Black women faculty account for only 3 percent of all faculty nationwide (Ryu, 2010), and face a myriad of challenges related to their social location. Racism, sexism, and other interlocking oppressions create troubling obstacles for Black women at all levels in academia (Benjamin, 1998; Collins, 2000; Gregory, 2001; hooks, 1989; King, 1988). Using Collins’ work …


Representation Of Latinas As Maids On Devious Maids (2013), Fitria Afrianty Sudirman Dec 2013

Representation Of Latinas As Maids On Devious Maids (2013), Fitria Afrianty Sudirman

Paradigma: Jurnal Kajian Budaya

This article aims to analyze the representation of Latinas as maids by examining the first season of US television drama comedy, Devious Maids. The show has been a controversy inside and outside Latina community since it presents the lives of five Latinas working as maids in Beverly Hills that appears to reinforce the negative stereotypes of Latinas. However, a close reading on scenes by using character analysis on two Latina characters shows that the characters break stereotypes in various ways. The show gives visibility to the Latinas by putting them as main characters and portraying them as progressive and independent …

The Public Health Pbrn Program: A Summative Report, Center For Public Health Systems And Services Research

UKCPHSSR Research Briefs and Reports

This program seeks to expand the volume and quality of evidence on how best to organize, finance, and deliver public health services by: (1) helping to organize and develop practice-based research networks (PBRNs) comprised of public health agencies and skilled research institutions; (2) selecting grantees to receive funding and technical assistance for PBRN research projects; and (3) facilitating the successful development, implementation, and translation of research projects through PBRNs by providing technical assistance, fostering peer learning, and leading selected multi-network research activities.


Loss Of Atrx Does Not Confer Susceptibility To Osteoarthritis, Lauren A. Solomon, Bailey A. Russell, David Makar, Nathalie G. Bérubé, Frank Beier Dec 2013

Loss Of Atrx Does Not Confer Susceptibility To Osteoarthritis, Lauren A. Solomon, Bailey A. Russell, David Makar, Nathalie G. Bérubé, Frank Beier

Paediatrics Publications

The chromatin remodelling protein ATRX is associated with the rare genetic disorder ATR-X syndrome. This syndrome includes developmental delay, cognitive impairment, and a variety of skeletal deformities. ATRX plays a role in several basic chromatin-mediated cellular events including DNA replication, telomere stability, gene transcription, and chromosome congression and cohesion during cell division. We have used a loss-of-function approach to directly investigate the role of Atrx in the adult skeleton in three different models of selective Atrx loss. We specifically targeted deletion of Atrx to the forelimb mesenchyme, to cartilage and to bone-forming osteoblasts. We previously demonstrated that loss of ATRX …

A Correlational Study Of The Advancement Via Individual Determination Program And High School Achievement In Literacy, Jason Randolph Pickering Dec 2013

A Correlational Study Of The Advancement Via Individual Determination Program And High School Achievement In Literacy, Jason Randolph Pickering

Theses and Dissertations

The research examined the academic progression of students with certain backgrounds enrroled in the Advancement Via Individual Determination program compared to students of similar ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds on state criterion-referenced tests. The research also explored the differences in Advancement Via Individual Determination program and non-AVID students of similar backgrounds in respect to attendance and grade-point average. The research found there were no statistical significance of AVID progra on literacy scale scores and grade-point average. The research found a statistically significance between race and AVID participation.


Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Carbon Supported Metal/Metal Oxide Nanocomposites And Their Application In Water Purification, Gunawan Gunawan Dec 2013

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Carbon Supported Metal/Metal Oxide Nanocomposites And Their Application In Water Purification, Gunawan Gunawan

Theses and Dissertations

A novel, easy, and cost effective method for synthesizing carbon supported metal/metal oxide nanocomposites has been studied. Carbon supported metal/metal oxide nanocomposites have niche applications in the area of catalysis, fuel cells, electrodes, and more. The method utilizes a commercial microwave and features the addition of a developed graphite-jacket technique with renewable carbon resources, tannin and lignin. The method has been successfully used to synthesize carbon/nickel, carbon/iron oxide, and carbon/nickel phosphide nanocomposites. The method has shown its versatility in the synthesis of carbon nanocomposites. The process is much simpler when compared with the available methods for synthesizing carbon nanocomposites. The …


An Investigation Of Electro-Optical 1/F Noise Reduction In An Open-Path Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometer, Samira Adnan Mahdi Dec 2013

An Investigation Of Electro-Optical 1/F Noise Reduction In An Open-Path Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometer, Samira Adnan Mahdi

Theses and Dissertations

A mobile spectrometer system has been designed to scan the near-surface atmosphere for ammonia gas over a wide range of distances (10 m to 1 Km). Since the system is designed for space applications, it needs to be small, light weight, and low power, which dictates the use of relatively low frequency measurement scans. The spectrometer uses a diode laser, which is subject to a large of electro-optical 1/f noise component at these low frequencies. In this work, digital signal processing techniques are developed to reduce the effects of 1/f noise in gas measurements. A Double Fast Fourier Transform-Based Filter …
