The Ethical Phenomenon Of Gm-Corn: Anger, Anxiety, And Arrogance In Crossing American Borders, Jules Simon Jan 2009

The Ethical Phenomenon Of Gm-Corn: Anger, Anxiety, And Arrogance In Crossing American Borders, Jules Simon

Selected Works Temporary Series

In terms of phenomenology, I often wonder about the relevance of what I do as a philosopher for the life of those with whom I come into contact. This ‘coming into contact’ happens for me on several levels: as one human among many, as a husband and father and son and brother, as a teacher, as a neighbor, and as country or city dweller. I remember with fondness those times in the late sultry summer months when, as a youth, I would drive with my father to this or that local farm-stand on some remote back road in the hills …

In terms of phenomenology, I often wonder about the relevance of what I do as a philosopher for the life of those with whom I come into contact. This ‘coming into contact’ happens for me on several levels: as one human among many, as a husband and father and son and brother, as a teacher, as a neighbor, and as country or city dweller.

Without Improved Security, Biodefense Laboratories May Double As Arsenals For Terrorists, Jim Shen Jan 2009

Without Improved Security, Biodefense Laboratories May Double As Arsenals For Terrorists, Jim Shen

Quill & Scope

In the wake of the "Amerithrax” anthrax attacks of September and October 2001, the United States committed a large amount of funding towards biodefense research. With this commitment came a large increase in the number of federally-funded and private laboratories conducting biodefense research that was not well-regulated by the federal government. The result is that many laboratories are currently studying dangerous agents such as anthrax with inadequate security measures and little oversight. Unless reform is enacted to correct this situation, these laboratories will continue to represent a potential threat to public safety.


The Application Of Learning Organization Principles To Church Growth, Colleen S. Bryan Jan 2009

The Application Of Learning Organization Principles To Church Growth, Colleen S. Bryan

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

While many studies showed evidence of the use of learning organization theory in a variety of venues, these theories have been studied in a limited capacity in church settings. This research attempted to substantiate the presence of learning organization principles in churches experiencing growth, and to refine a tool to measure these characteristics in churches. Relationships and strengths of association between and among 3 learning organization principles of leadership, job structure and systems, and performance and development, and degrees of growth defined as negative, plateau, and positive growth were examined in a sample of Nazarene churches via a revised survey …


Beliefs And Attitudes Regarding Health -Enhancing Behaviors In African American And Caucasian Women, Cassaundra Murray Jan 2009

Beliefs And Attitudes Regarding Health -Enhancing Behaviors In African American And Caucasian Women, Cassaundra Murray

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

A disproportionate number of African American (AA) women are overweight, obese, and more likely to have weight related health concerns compared with Caucasian (C) women. Previous research indicates perception about health-enhancing behaviors influences AA females' health behavior. A gap exists in the current literature regarding AA women's perception of eating and exercise behavior and the impact social support has on AA women's adherence to USDA recommendations. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to examine AA women's weight locus of control, perceived susceptibility to weight related diseases, and perceived barriers to healthy eating and exercise relative to C women; …

Sitting Down With Dr. Shinjiro Hirose: The Ins And Outs Of Fetal Surgery, Christine Capone, Sean Kivlehan

Quill & Scope

Few areas of medicine are on the cutting edge more than fetal surgery. Operations on babies still attached to their mothers seems like science fiction. But that is what Dr. Shinjiro Hirose of UCSF does. The editors of Quill & Scope sat down with Dr. Hirose to discuss his unusual specialty. Hirose, a graduate of New York Medical College, talks about what drew him to the field, the logistical difficulties of doing such precise operations and the ethical issues that often arise when considering his surgeries.


The Problems With Physician Profiling: What Have We Learned?, Heidi Charvet Jan 2009

The Problems With Physician Profiling: What Have We Learned?, Heidi Charvet

Quill & Scope

Physician profiling has emerged as an effort to satisfy increased demand for information about the cost and quality of health care. Health plans, physicians and consumers all have distinctive purposes and methods for reviewing physician profiles, but they share several concerns about the data itself and the interpretation of this data. These problems have been so severe that physician profiling has not been widely accepted as an appropriate tool for quality improvement and cost control. However, through the use of improved data, more informed interpretation, and involvement of key stakeholders, physician profiling may one day be considered an effective and …

Colors is a story likely familiar to many medical students; the anxiety, panic and fear associated with our first clinical exposure. It tells the story of a college senior's experience as a volunteer at a Chicago children's hospital, and traces it to a discussion of our sources of motivation for becoming a doctor.


The Reason, Stephanie Lei Jan 2009

The Reason, Stephanie Lei

Quill & Scope

Despite not having written any poetry since high school, my roommate convinced me to enter a medical student poetry contest with her. What emerged was this largely autobiographical poem which I think NYMC's many out-of-state students can relate to. It also serves as a reminder of the goals that brought us here to NYMC.


The Best Patients In The World: A Commentary On Military Medicine, Joseph D. Schwartz Jan 2009

The Best Patients In The World: A Commentary On Military Medicine, Joseph D. Schwartz

Quill & Scope

It was a sunny day last August and he had not been in Afghanistan more than a few months when my patient's platoon came under RPG fire from a Taliban group. That same day I was in the middle of an Orthopaedics rotation in New York. After two months of Navy surgical training for me and a painful recovery process in Germany for him, our paths crossed at the National Navy Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. The ensuing interaction inspired this reflection on my time with military medicine thus far, and my career as a Navy physician ahead.
