No full textInterviewee: Dr. James M. Clark Interviewers: Cristina Brea, Alexander Katavolos, Zackary Modine October 10, 2018 Memorial Library, SUNY Cortland Length: 1:14:12 The Interviewee. Dr. James M. Clark was the eighth president of the State University of New York College at Cortland from 1979-1995 and is currently active in various charitable organizations within the community. He continues to be an influential part of the community through his participation and efforts just as when he was president. He spent part of his adolescence in Michigan, later moving to Maine and eventually Cortland, where he currently resides. At the University of Michigan, Dr. Clark was a teaching fellow in French and political science. Earlier, he had served as a teaching assistant in English at Lycée St. Louis in Paris. At the University of Maine, Dr. Clark joined the political science faculty. While on leave at one point, he served as a Fulbright Professor at the Institute Études Politiques, University of Toulouse, France, and eventually became Vice President for Academic Affairs. While he was president at Cortland, Dr. Clark fostered the growth of International Studies Programs in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The Interviewer(s). Cristina Brea, Alex Katavolos, and Zackary Modine are undergraduate students majoring in history at the State University of New York College at Cortland. This interview is part of Cortland’s 150th year-long history with a focus on Cortland alumni and former faculty being conducted as a project for History 329: “Oral History and Historical Memory” for fall 2018. Description of the Interview. The interview took place in a side room on the third floor of Memorial Library on the campus of SUNY Cortland. The library is on upper campus on the top of the hill. For the interview, we sat at a table with two of us on each side of the table (Alex and Zach, Cristina and Dr. Clark). There were minimal interruptions, and we spoke for an hour and a half
Cambridge and Fabianism
No full textThis chapter deals with Colin Clark’s time at Cambridge University, his friendship with J. M. Keynes who had recommended his appointment after Clark had resigned from the EAC after rejecting the idea of putting his name to a protectionist manifesto. The Cambridge appointment would be the making of Clark as an applied and statistical economist and allowed him a front row seat at the Keynesian revolution to which he provided some aggregative concepts. In the early 1930s Clark became private secretary to Clement Attlee, a junior minister within the Ramsay MacDonald’s Labour government. Apart from drafting Labour Party policy resolutions and its 1931 electoral manifesto, Clark provided statistical advice to Labour politicians. With his colleagues, Clark laid down the intellectual foundations for Labour’s socialist platform using Keynes’s new theory. He ran for a parliamentary seat in three general elections but markedly without success. In 1935 he married the love of his life Marjorie Tattersall and relinquished hopes of becoming a politician. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd
Improving Access to Psychological Therapy: Initial Evaluation of the Two Demonstration Sites
No full textThe Government's Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) programme aims to implement NICE Guidance for people with depression and anxiety disorders. In the first phase of the programme, two demonstration sites were established in Doncaster and Newham with funding to provide increased availability of cognitive-behaviour therapy-based (CBT) services to those in the community who need them. The services opened in late summer 2006. This paper documents the achievements of the sites up to September 2007 (roughly their first year of operation) and makes recommendations for the future roll out of IAPT services.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, Psychological therapy, Evaluation, Cost benefit analysis, IAPT
Rational ellipticity of G-manifolds from their quotients
No full textWe prove that if a compact, simply connected Riemannian G-manifold M has orbit space M/G isometric to some other quotient N/H with N having zero topological entropy, then M is rationally elliptic. This result, which generalizes most conditions on rational ellipticity, is a particular case of a more general result involving manifold submetries. © The Author(s), 2025
Newcastle Business School Principles of Responsible Management Education Project (NBS PRIME)
No full textThe world is changing rapidly and new demands face business leaders to deal with the planet and environment more sustainably, to deal with the numerous societies their organisations operate in more equitably and with greater cultural understanding, and to be more open, transparent and responsible with respect to their stakeholders. Recent events such as the credit and banking crisis alongside general global corporate social responsibility and sustainability concerns, have led to questions as to whether current management education is adequate to equip and develop future leaders with the requisite skills to meet
these new demands (Colby, Ehrlich, Sullivan, Dolle, & Shulman, 2011; Datar, Garvin, & Cullen, 2010; Weybrecht, 2010).
For these reasons it is essential that universities and business schools seek to embrace principles of sustainability and responsible management into their teaching, research and enterprise activities.
Newcastle Business school is ideally placed to make a significant contribution to social, environmental and economic well being through its global reputation for delivering some of the best business management education in the UK
To Tell or Not to Tell: Disclosure Experiences and Perceived Microaggressions Among Adopted Adolescents With Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Parents
No full textThere is limited research on stigma experiences and disclosure practices among adolescents who: (a) are adopted, (b) who have LGBTQ+ parents, and (c) who are sexual or gender minorities themselves. At a time when LGBTQ+ identities are both increasingly visible and also publicly debated, we conducted interviews with 50 adolescents (M age = 14.86 years) in 12 two-father, 20 two-mother, and 18 father/mother families. Following protocols approved by Clark University’s Institutional Review Board and through the frameworks of sexual stigma, microaggressions, and communication privacy management, we used thematic analysis to explore themes of disclosure practices, peer responses to disclosure, and parent responses to sexual and gender identity disclosure. Adolescents described various disclosure decisions around their adoptive status, LGBTQ+ parent family structure, and their own sexual and gender identities, ranging from rare to reactive to proactive disclosure. Such decisions were in some cases shaped by the intersections among participants’ race, gender, and family structure. Participants often selectively disclosed because of concerns related to privacy and negative peer reactions. Many adolescents reported instances of microaggressions from peers around their identities. Parent reactions to their children’s sexual and gender identity disclosure were more complex than peers’ reactions. Findings have implications for therapists and other professionals working with adolescents and their families. © The Author(s) 2024
Calvadosia Clark 1863
No full textGenus Calvadosia Clark, 1863 Remarks. Calvadosia was originally proposed by Clark (1863) to accommodate a species described by Lamouroux (1815), “ Lucernaire campanulée ” (or Lucernaria campanulata), from Calvados, France, therefore proposing the name Calvadosia campanulata (Lamouroux, 1815). Its main difference from other Lucernaria is the “four pilasters […] not muscular, as are the pilasters in the pedicel of Lucernaria quadricornis ” (Clark 1863: 556), i.e., absence of interradial longitudinal muscles associated with the septa of the peduncle. However, Clark’s (1863) proposal was overlooked for many years. Later, Uchida (1929) proposed a new genus, Lucernariopsis, for the same “ Lucernaria campanulata ”, including species with one-chambered peduncle without muscles, overlooking the availability of the older name Calvadosia Clark, 1863. Apparently, Gwilliam (1956: 10) was the only author to notice this nomenclatural issue, concluding that according to the “law of priority, the proper generic name of Lucernariopsis Uchida, 1929 is Calvadosia Clark, 1863 ”, but he never published his PhD Dissertation on the taxonomy of the Stauromedusae. More recently, Lucernariopsis Uchida, 1929 was officially recognized as a synonym of Calvadosia Clark, 1863 (Miranda et al. 2016b). In addition, based on molecular and morphological evidence, the former genera Kishinouyea Mayer, 1910 and Sasakiella Okubo, 1917 were also incorporated into Calvadosia (Miranda et al. 2016b). Therefore, Calvadosia is currently one of the most diverse genera in Staurozoa, with 11 species: Calvadosia campanulata (Lamouroux, 1815), Calvadosia nagatensis (Oka, 1897), Calvadosia vanhoeffeni (Browne, 1910), Calvadosia cruciformis (Okubo, 1917), Calvadosia hawaiiensis (Edmondson, 1930), Calvadosia tsingtaoensis (Ling, 1937), Calvadosia capensis (Carlgren, 1938), Calvadosia cruxmelitensis (Corbin, 1978), Calvadosia corbini (Larson, 1980), Calvadosia tasmaniensis (Zagal, Hirano, Mills, Edgar & Barrett, 2011), and Calvadosia lewisi sp. nov. described in this study.Published as part of Miranda, Lucília S., Branch, George M., Collins, Allen G., Hirano, Yayoi M., Marques, Antonio C. & Griffiths, Charles L., 2017, Stalked jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Staurozoa) of South Africa, with the description of Calvadosia lewisi sp. nov., pp. 369-389 in Zootaxa 4227 (3) on pages 371-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4227.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/26834
The neglected 95%, a challenge to psychology\u27s philosophy of science
No full textResponds to the comments of LoSchiavo F. M. and Shatz M. A. (see record 2009-13007-013); Webster G. D., Nichols A. L., and Schember T. O. (see record 2009-13007-014); Stroebe W. and Nijstad B. (see record 2009-13007-015); and Haeffel et al. (see record 2009-13007-016) on the author\u27s original article (see record 200814338-003) regarding the assertion that American psychology focuses too narrowly on Americans while neglecting the other 95% of the world’s population. The author indicates that the four comments were well chosen in that they represent quite different reactions to his article. In this rejoinder the author addresses the issues raised in each of the comments, first the two supporting comments and then the two opposing comments. Following this, he addresses the more general problem that cuts across the comments: American psychology’s dominant philosophy of science. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved
