Christianity In Latvia In The Twentieth Century, Liva Fokrote

Seminary Masters Theses

This paper is about Christianity in Latvia in the twentieth century. The country of Latvia is located on the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea in Northeastern Europe. Christianity was brought to this country at the end of the twelfth century. Only in the twentieth century did the Christian Church in Latvia become truly indigenous and diverse.

The Church history in Latvia began with the crusading attempts of German bishops and religious orders that brought Roman Catholicism to Latvia at the end of the twelfth century. The Catholic bishops and religious orders dominated both the ecclesiastical and political life in …

The Role Of Civil Affairs In Mine Action, Cisr Jmu

CISR Studies and Reports

The landmine threat to innocent civilians around the world is personally tragic, but it also represents a massive challenge to the development and infrastructure of nations at risk. Mine action is a series of activities which, taken together, attempt to ameliorate the effects of landmines. Mine action components include landmine clearance, mine awareness, and victim assistance and support activities. These diverse, and sometimes unrelated, operations are undertaken by numerous organizations, which are not typically under the control of any one organization. Coordination of effort, therefore is extremely difficult. The US government humanitarian demining program is predicated on providing limited support …

Differences In Turnover Intentions Between Exempt And Nonexempt Employees, Robert Ball

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Three a priori models of turnover intentions were tested to investigate differences in turnover intentions for exempt and nonexempt employees. Results of measured variable path analysis failed to differentiate exempt and nonexempt employees in their turnover intentions. Because the a priori models failed to support a distinction between exempt and nonexempt employees, an exploratory analysis was conducted for each employee group to investigate possible differences in turnover intentions. The exempt exploratory model revealed that overall satisfaction, vision and mission, total compensation, job fulfillment, leadership, and culture were significant determinants of turnover intentions. For the nonexempt exploratory model, overall satisfaction, tenure, …

Characteristics Of Empirically-Supported Treatments, William T. O'Donohue, Jeffrey Buchanan, Jane E. Fisher

Psychology Department Publications

This study presents a survey of general characteristics of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) identified by the American Psychological Association Division 12 Task Force on the Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures. Results indicate that the ESTs share the following characteristics: they involve skill building, have a specific problem focus, incorporate continuous assessment of client progress, and involve brief treatment contact, requiring 20 or fewer sessions. Traditional assessment methods, such as intelligence testing, projectives, and objective personality tests such as the MMPI-2, are rarely used in these treatments. Although it is recognized that these findings are in part an artifact of …

Evaluation Of Dcof-Funded Peace Corps Youth-At-Risk Programming, Usaid-Leahy

Global CWD Repository

This report was the result of an evaluation of the collaboration between USAID and the Peace Corps in implementing DCOF-funded activities. The evaluation primarily explored the impact the partnership has had on intended beneficiaries, but also examined each agency’s assessments of this joint effort and the vitality of their partnership. The evaluation, the first conducted on the Participating Agency Service Agreement (PASA) which frames USAID/Peace Corps at-risk youth programming, was undertaken by an independent consultant with considerable awareness of the fund and its purposes.

Friend-In-Need Society Jaipur Foot Project: A Review And Recommendations For Upgrading Prosthetic And Patient Care Services, Usaid-Leahy

Global CWD Repository

In 1985, the Friend-in-Need Society (FINS) pioneered its Jaipur Foot Program to fill a need scarcely affected by government hospitals. Since 1991, USAID, through the Global Bureau’s Leahy War Victims Fund (LWVF), has partnered with FINS to extend services to more than 6,000 amputees. Several small private organizations address the physical mobility needs of civilian amputees and other persons with physical disabilities, but the number of prosthetic devices they contribute is quite small compared to the number contributed by FINS, and the cost of their services is beyond the means of the average Sri Lankan. FINS, Sri Lanka’s oldest social …

Patrick J. Leahy War Victims Fund Portfolio Synopsis Spring 2000, Usaid-Leahy

Global CWD Repository

The Leahy War Victims Fund has now provided over $60 million in more than 16 countries. As the fund evolves, its agenda becomes more challenging. Its plans include inclusion of people with disabilities in planning and implementing programs; improved training; expanded community-based rehabilitation; development and production of appropriate wheelchairs; and increased coordination with other donors.

Each year, through the efforts of its collaborating partners and the dedicated and professional commitment of their local and international staff, the Leahy War Victims Fund is providing assistance to thousands of war victims, their families, and other people living with disabilities.

ANIMAL RESEARCH

Pain and distress caused by specific research models and techniques raise serious concerns for those in the animal welfare community as well as in the scientific community.

The HSUS has compiled a preliminary list of research models and techniques that cause pain and distress. Analyses by the USDA and HSUS indicate that the majority of the animals reported in Column E are used in various testing procedures, with vaccine testing prominent among them. More data are needed to …
