‘Youth of the World, Unite So That You May Live’: Youth, Internationalism, and the Popular Front in the World Youth Congress Movement, 1936–1939
No full textDuring the Popular Front era (1934–1939), communists and liberals participated in new arenas of ideological contact through civil society. Among these was the World Youth Congress Movement (WYCM), an organization that embodied the convergence of three powerful forces of the 1930s: youth, internationalism, and the Popular Front. Although liberal internationalists initiated the WYCM, the involvement of communists drew criticism from socialists, conservatives, and fascists. While historians have traditionally described it as a communist front, the WYCM deserves reconsideration in light of new understandings of youth activism in the 1930s. In tracing the evolution of the movement, this study illustrates how the WYCM served as a space in which liberals and communists coordinated and competed to mobilize youth in the struggle for peace and cooperation. In youth, these groups found a shared interest that allowed them to paper over their contradictions, but only as long as their higher-order interests aligned

Field Study of Potential Relocation Sites for the Adams County Farmers’ Market
Get PDFFarmers markets are an essential part of a community\u27s culture and provide a vital service to all of its members. Currently, the Adam’s County Farmers Market is at a crossroads, as the lease it has on its current location is up and they must consider where they will go next. The purpose of this study is to assist the market in finding the best location in Gettysburg by analyzing the potential sites and providing a numerical score to compare each site. Four potential locations were used in this study: Constitution Lot, Lutheran Seminary, Recreation Park and the Existing site location. Of these locations it was hypothesized that Recreation Park would be the best spot due to its many open fields and provided amenities. The study was conducted by identifying 12 criteria to consider for each site and weighting them against each other using an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Each site was given a score for each category and each weight was applied to the corresponding category. These scores were added up and each site received a score out of four measuring the quality of the site. The highest scoring site was Constitution Lot followed by the Existing Site, Recreation Park, and Lutheran Seminary. The Constitution Lot site benefited greatly from its vendor and parking space size while the Existing site location came in at a close second due to its many amenities. This study was conducted with the hope of improving the quality of the farmer’s market and increasing its vendor capabilities so that it can better serve the community
For Just Business, It’s Pretty Personal: The Impact of Money on the Early Republic’s Economically Elite Families
Get PDFThis essay examines the Adam Family Papers as a case study representing the Early American Republic’s economic elite. It argues that individual business practices affected the relationships between relatives—sometimes positively, other times negatively. The first section concerns other historians’ work on the family and on the Salisbury Iron District. The second section discusses women’s roles within their male relatives’ businesses. The third section relates to gift exchanges, while the fourth concerns business transactions between family members. The fifth section regards the economic hierarchy that emerged within the Forbes & Adam family. Letters concerning Samuel Forbes, John Adam Jr., Abigail Adam, Lucy Walker, William P. Walker, and Samuel Beckley Jr. make up the block of communications analyzed
Practicing the Self
No full textIn music, the term practicing is usually contrasted with playing. We practice scales to help us play composition, and we practice pieces so that we can perform them well. But it\u27s interesting to think about the work in a different way. The Oxford English Dictionary defines practice as the actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method, as opposed to theories relating to it. We say that doctors practice medicine, or we say that lawyers practice law. I like to think of my musical practice as the sum total of everything i do musically. And because I can\u27t separate music from other parts of my life, maybe everything I do is musical practice. [excerpt

(mis)Management of multiple tensions and coexisting conflicting dualities during restructuring: a paradox theory perspective from an emerging economy
No full textPurpose:Organizational scholars are intrigued about stakeholders who propose multiple and conflicting ideas about what is good for their organization. Such contradictions are called paradoxical tensions. Although researchers have singled these out for analysis, focusing only on individual tensions prevents scrutiny of multiple paradoxical tensions that simultaneously emerge and how effectively organizations can manage them. In complex environments – especially during an organizational restructuring – multiple and interrelated tensions occur. Therefore, the objective in this paper is to investigate how organizations create multiple paradoxical tensions and how the combined effect of such tensions can constrain organizations during restructuring. The authors thus aim to help managers think reflectively and to plan interventions to deal with issues arising from restructuring through the lens of paradox theory.
Design/methodology/approach:The authors adopted purposive sampling for an archival research-based case study of a major restructuring of a leading IT firm in India in the decade 2009–2019. This study focused on the types of paradoxes created and the response of the organization to these during the restructure. The authors identified key events using public documents and news reports from that decade. They drew on two sources of data: mainstream media coverage and third-party documents about the company. The latter included monographs and academic publications written by critics, business historians and design and management scholars.
Findings:The findings address the gaps in the literature about how reorganizing during a restructure shapes the contradictions that lead to tensions and coexisting conflicting dualities, creating paradoxes. This study provides the reader with deeper insights into belonging, organizing, learning and performing tensions – core to paradox theory – along with their short- and long-term implications for organizational restructuring. The study demonstrates organizational responses to paradox and its practical implications for managers. The paradoxical nature of cultural–structural tensions in Indian organizations continues to be researched but, by focusing on paradox theory, the authors have opened doors for future research.
Originality/value: Although there is no dispute that effective management of tensions can facilitate organizational performance, contradictory demands that lead to tensions have only intensified as organizational environments become more global, dynamic and competitive. Paradox theory is thus valuable for understanding tensions between equally valid principles, inferences and insights. Although this paper is based on a case study, the framework proposed here can form the basis for theoretical generalizability within certain limitations. Because organizations face similar paradoxical situations under competing demands during restructuring and because paradoxes are becoming increasingly prevalent in organizations, the authors expect their propositions to apply in other cases of restructuring. However, the authors would like to caution that the model developed here should be tested and refined in other contexts to more fully establish its validity and generalizability
The Long Civil War: New Explorations of America’s Enduring Conflict
No full textElection night, November 3, 1964—one hundred years almost to the day since Abraham Lincoln won a decisive reelection victory against his Democratic opponent, General George Brinton McClellan. On a golfing vacation in Augusta, Georgia, Dwight Eisenhower watched the returns come in with increasing discomfort. The incumbent, President Lyndon B. Johnson, did not simply win reelection, he overwhelmed Arizona Republican senator Barry Goldwater, carrying every state outside the deep South except for Arizona. I had thought, Ike wrote confidently to an associate two days later, that possibly a few of the central states like Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa might have gone Republican, but the landslide spared few indeed.

Helmintos transmitidos por el suelo en Ecuador; la respuesta comunitaria y las percepciones a ellos en Baños y Puyo
No full textThis investigation was a qualitative study focused on soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) in Baños and Puyo, Ecuador. The perceptions of the communities regarding STHs and the community response to STH and STH infections was studied. The objectives of this study aimed to discover and learn about the perceptions of STHs from the affected communities, to comprehend the barriers that are present against better treatment for STH infections, and to learn about the community action taking place to improve the situation of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) in the community. Soil transmitted helminths are intestinal worms that are transmitted through the contamination of the soil with the worm\u27s infectious stages (CDC, 2020). These worms are also able to be transmitted through the lack of proper sanitation and food preparation. This study was done by conducting interviews with 13 participants who were split into two groups based on their positionality as either an academic or medical professional with previous experience regarding STHs, or as a member of a rural Amazonian community affected by STHs. Each participant was interviewed to determine their perceptions of STHs in the community, what they perceived to be barriers to better treatment regarding STH infections, as well as the types and extent of community response taking place to better the STH situation in their respective communities. This study saw a concerned participant population with regard to the high prevalence of STHs in Ecuador. Participants noted difficulty obtaining medical care for STHs, and the subsequent mentioned importance of traditional medicine within the rural community studied. Barriers to care included difficulty of treating STHs, lack of resources, access to medical care, education, economic resources and the lack of governmental intervention. Community action included traditional medicines, western medicine, and the desire for improved resources, access, and education among other things. It was found that the communities of Baños and Puyo are affected similarly with regard to STHs because the participants in both locations share the same concerns for STHs, despite a slight difference in opinion between the groups. It was determined that the participants\u27 perceptions about STHs were permeated by their knowledge of the high prevalence of STH infection in the country. Participants mentioned barriers to better treatment being lack of education, resources, medical care, and proper water and sanitation practices. The community response to STH infections included traditional medicine remedies in addition to prescription Western medications and other community interventions.
Esta investigación fue un estudio cualitativo enfocado en helmintos transmitidos por el suelo (STH) en Baños y Puyo, Ecuador. Se estudiaron las percepciones de las comunidades con respecto a los STHs y la respuesta de la comunidad a los STHs y las infecciones por STH. Los objetivos de este estudio tuvieron como objetivo conocer y conocer las percepciones de los STHs en las comunidades afectadas, comprender las barreras que existen para un mejor tratamiento de las infecciones por STH y conocer las acciones comunitarias que se están llevando a cabo para mejorar la situación de los STHs en la comunidad. Los helmintos transmitidos por el suelo son gusanos intestinales que se transmiten a través de la contaminación del suelo con las etapas infecciosas del gusano (CDC, 2020). Estos gusanos también pueden transmitirse a través de la falta de saneamiento y preparación de alimentos adecuados. Este estudio se realizó mediante la realización de entrevistas a 13 participantes que se dividieron en dos grupos en función de su posicionalidad como profesional académico o médico con experiencia previa en relación con los STHs, o como miembro de una comunidad rural amazónica afectada por STH. Se entrevistó a cada participante para determinar sus percepciones de los STHs en la comunidad, lo que percibían como barreras para un mejor tratamiento con respecto a las infecciones por STH, así como los tipos y el alcance de la respuesta comunitaria que se está llevando a cabo para mejorar la situación de los STHs en sus respectivas comunidades. Este estudio vio a una población participante preocupada con respecto a la alta prevalencia de STH en Ecuador. Los participantes señalaron la dificultad para obtener atención médica para los STHs y la importancia que se mencionó posteriormente de la medicina tradicional dentro de la comunidad rural estudiada. Las barreras a la atención incluyeron la dificultad para tratar los STHs, la falta de recursos, el acceso a la atención médica, la educación, los recursos económicos y la falta de intervención gubernamental. La acción comunitaria incluyó medicinas tradicionales, medicina occidental y el deseo de mejorar los recursos, el acceso y la educación, entre otras cosas. Se encontró que las comunidades de Baños y Puyo se ven afectadas de manera similar con respecto a los STHs porque los participantes en ambos lugares comparten las mismas preocupaciones por los STHs, a pesar de una ligera diferencia de opinión entre los grupos. Se determinó que las percepciones de los participantes sobre los STHs estaban impregnadas de su conocimiento de la alta prevalencia de la infección por STH en el país. Los participantes mencionaron que las barreras para un mejor tratamiento son la falta de educación, recursos, atención médica y prácticas adecuadas de agua y saneamiento. La respuesta de la comunidad a las infecciones por STH incluyó remedios de medicina tradicional además de medicamentos occidentales recetados y otras intervenciones comunitarias
