A Study of Seton Hall University and the Attributes of Organizational Adaptation Employed in Fashioning its Catholic Identity and Mission in the Post-Vatican II Era (1966-2006)
No full textThis thesis is the first fully developed and published study of Seton Hall University. It specifically examines the organizational structures of Seton Hall University over a forty year period in light of the tumultuous changes in the Catholic Church and Catholic academia post-Vatican 11. Of particular importance is change that influenced the Catholic identity and mission of the university. The author examines the central problems arising from the changes influenced by the actions of the Vatican Council as well as the concerns expressed by Catholic academic, namely, academic freedom and the issues of higher education governance. These two factors spearheaded the eventual changes in the identity and mission of Catholic higher education forever. The study identifies three distinct time periods in which the university experienced significant life cycle transitions during the forty year study period. Within each life cycle, the author further explores the institutional strengths, strategic choices and symbolic actions of the university. These views of Seton Hall University are modeled using the conceptual framework of change described by organizational adaptation expert Kim Cameron in 1984. Extensive archival research clearly validates the processes of Organization Adaptation described by Cameron as being evident throughout this forty year study period. Likewise, Seton Hall\u27s transformation from a small, commuter diocesan-run university in 1966 to a national Catholic university committed to the advancement of Catholic culture and thought in 2006 representing the next generation of servant leaders for the Church and society

Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge by Ernest Thompson Seton
No full textThe drawing entitled “Posts for Crane House or Crane Lodge” was sketched by Canadian-American writer, artist and naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton. As an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, he was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. The sketch is from a group of sketches done for Edgar Munroe Robinson, his friend and colleague, for use in the construction and design of the “Pueblo of the Seven Fires”, a permanent camp structure completed in 1933 on the Springfield College East Campus. The East Campus is a sixty acre wooded grove on the shores of Lake Massasoit in Springfield, Massachusetts.For biographical information on Edgar M.

Knotless seton for perianal fistulas: feasibility and effect on perianal disease activity
No full textPatients with perianal fistulas are frequently treated by a knotted seton which is well-known for causing complaints. We aimed to assess the feasibility of the knotless SuperSeton and advantages with respect to perianal disease activity. In a prospective cohort study, we included all consecutive adult patients with a knotted seton in situ or a perianal fistula requiring new seton drainage. Primary endpoint was seton feasibility (maintenance of the connection for minimally three months). Secondary endpoints included improvement of the Perianal Disease Activity Index (PDAI), complications and re-interventions within three months of follow-up. PDAI scores of patients with a knotted seton were crossover compared to PDAI scores after knotless seton replacement. Sixty patients (42% male, mean age 42 (SD 13.15), 41 with Crohn’s disease) were included between August 2016 and April 2018. Of 79 knotless setons, 69 (87.3%) stayed connected for ≥ 3 months. Overall, the knotless seton significantly decreased discharge (P = 0.001), pain (P < 0.001) and induration (P < 0.001) measured by the PDAI when compared to baseline. In patients with a knotted seton, replacement by the knotless seton significantly decreased discharge (P = 0.005) and pain (P < 0.001) measured by the PDAI. Furthermore, 71% of patients reported fewer cleaning problems compared to the knotted seton. Ten patients developed a perianal abscess, and five patients required a re-intervention. This study supports the feasibility of the knotless seton with promising short-term results. The knotless seton might be preferred over the knotted seton in terms of perianal disease activity.Correction DOI 10.1038/s441598-021-88353-xMedical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technolog

Non-renewal of Print Journal Subscriptions That Duplicate Titles in Selected Electronic Databases: A Case Study
No full textThe Seton Hall University Libraries, even with its flat materials budget, has been enhancing its electronic resources by adding a number of full-text aggregated databases to its collections while still maintaining its print serials subscriptions. Recent additional budget shortfall during the 2001–2002 academic year prompted the Library to review its strategy for serials collection development, including the format of the title. This study describes the methodology followed to eliminate the overlap between print and electronic journals while striving to provide a balanced collection and quality library services. The author also discusses the factors that were critical for the project’s successful migration from the print serials to electronic access
Ernest Thompson Seton: an unforgettable personality, by Edgar M. Robinson
No full textThis piece, titled “Ernest Thomas Seton: an unforgettable personality”, gives a first hand interpretation of who Ernest Thompson Seton (it is believed that whoever put the cover on this document spelled his name wrong) was through the eyes of Edgar Robinson. Robinson explains what a strong relationship the two of them had and what a strong mentor Seton was to Robinson. Ernest Thompson Seton was an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, and was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. Edgar M. Robinson was a 1901 graduate from the YMCA Training School, now Springfield college, where he later returned to serve on the faculty as the Honorary Director of Boys Work Courses and the Adviser in Methods and Principles in Work with Boys from 1927-1937.For biographical information on Edgar M.
