Catholic Educational Leadership as a Spiritual Practice
Get PDFBeing a leader is tough—the best ones I know consider it a burden more than an honor, a responsibility more than a promotion, a sacrifice more than a perk. Leaders of Catholic schools, in particular, find themselves today in situations of increasing complexity and vulnerability. More and more scholars and practitioners are thus linking leadership to spirituality precisely because of this, perhaps, a connection that was, quite frankly, unimaginable a few decades ago.This multi-disciplinary approach to leadership—one that includes not only the disciplines of psychology and sociology but also spirituality in particular—has led to deeper investigations into the motivation, values, and behaviors of both leader and follower. Based on my own practice and the experiences of those I have worked with, I have come to believe that spirituality serves as a valuable source for the courage and clear thinking so essential to the challenging task of leadership today

Nakaparsuaan, Kadagaan, and Panaglunit ti Daga: Climate Justice and Environmental Ethics in Ilokano Life
Get PDFThe work offers an interpretation of the world as understood and being lived until today by Ilokanos. Such a reading involves the plumbing into linguistic and cultural data as proofs of an inchoate philosophy that has been preserved in the minds of the Ilokano people and which continues to guide their conduct. The world, understood as the physical environment, peoples, and communities, is linked back to the problem of social justice and stewardship of living and nonliving things, to the issue of who calls the shots in the unethical exploitation of these resources, and to the lessons that can be learned from how the Ilokanos have understood their place in the cosmos where ethical co-existence is required and where care of the environment is a must
Using Monte Carlo Simulation as a Financial Modeling Tool to Support Sustainability Efforts of a Government Agency
Get PDFThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collects ecosystem data to support coastal resource conservation and management activities by studying stressors that impact estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay, which is the largest in the United States. This paper seeks to help NOAA justify its existence and its budget by utilizing Monte Carlo simulation as a financial modeling tool, with such simulations providing insights on how to allocate identified resources. The results of the study offer an innovative method for helping government managers decide how much money to spend, what to spend it on, and how to acquire resources for the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System. Moreover, this paper also demonstrates how an experiential project in graduate business education can be used to support sustainability efforts by addressing community-focused issues while improving student connection between theory and application at the same time
Decision Support System for Rooftop Solar in the Bronx
Get PDFThis paper proposes a decision support system for the economic and technical feasibility of operating distributed photovoltaics in Bronx, N.Y. Existing research shows that distributed generation (DG) is a more effective way of reengineering the electricity system to integrate more renewable sources compared to a centralized, fossil fuel-based system. The viability of decentralizing electricity production with solar, however, is location-dependent and does not achieve the economies of scale that centralized systems enjoy. To determine the economic feasibility of DG with photovoltaics at a regional level, the system proposed here accounts for the relative cost to consumers and supply of electricity from the grid based on a framework developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The variables that were considered include regional demand, space capacity, fixed and variable costs to consumers, supply costs, and existing government support programs. Thus, drawing on data reported by the New York City government and other sources, this paper found that rooftop solar is economically feasible with existing government support programs and can reduce overall emissions despite being unable to meet the Bronx’s peak demand. The proposed system can therefore be adopted and used by public and/or private local decision-makers from other similar locations
Dama at Damdamin: Ang Tropikalidad ng Ginhawa sa Epikong Kudaman
Get PDFIsinasalang ng papel sa isang interogasyon ang pagdulog sa dalumat ng “ginhawa” na sumasandig sa representasyonal na balangkas, na kadalasang nauuwi sa pagtatatag ng mga arbitraryong dikotomiya tulad ng “loob”/“labas” at ng “katutubong di-malay”/“sinakop na kamalayan.” Sa halip, nilalayon ng kasalukuyang pag-aaral na maitulak ang rasyonalidad na inihahain ng ginhawa bilang isang damdamin, na bahagi ng katutubong sensibilidad, batay sa inilalahad nitong mga parametro at nang hindi napapangunahan ng proyekto ng pagtatatag ng mga takda at estatikong identidad. Gamit ang epikong Kudaman ng tribong Pala’wan bilang teksto, partikular na interes ng gagawing pagsusuri ang pagdama sa ginhawa bilang isang kasidhian na pumapagitan sa matalik na ugnayan ng katawan at kapaligiran. Hahantong ang sanaysay sa isang proposisyon: ang ginhawa bilang kasidhian ay isang oryentasyon sa espasyong tropikal na tumatalab sa paraang mas dislokalisado kaysa naka-pook, at nagpapahayag ng isang pagka-suhetong mas dinamiko at relasyonal kaysa takda
