Learning-Circle Partnerships and the Evaluation of a Boundary-Crossing Leadership Initiative in Health
No full text· Leadership development approaches that are focused on individual knowledge and skill development do not suit the leadership needs of lowincome communities and communities of color in addressing the multiple factors that influence health disparities.
· Boundary-crossing leadership is rooted in a socialjustice perspective and seeks to address the isolation and fragmentation faced by those who are working to address systemic inequities.
· A multicultural approach to evaluation honors different ways of knowing, recognizes that groups have different learning questions, acknowledges and addresses power dynamics that exist between funders and grantees, and ensures that evaluation is culturally relevant and constructive for communities.
· Learning-circle partnerships build trust and create a supportive environment for community-based grantees and funders to understand each other’s learning needs and constraints.
· Learning together is a challenge when there are different levels of readiness among grantees to engage in evaluation learning, resource constraints for sustaining a learning-circle relationship, power dynamics between grantees and funders, shifting priorities within foundations, and grantee staff turnover

First Impression: An Interview With Author and Bibliophile Nicholas A. Basbanes
No full textNicholas A. Basbanes did not publish his first book until he was 52 but, in the ten years since, the former literary editor at the Worcester Sunday Telegram has given bibliophiles and librarians five books about books. The first, A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for Books (Holt, 1995), was a landmark commentary on book collecting that has sold 100,000 copies. The second, Patience & Fortitude (HarperCollins, 2001), named for the pair of lions that guard the entrance to the New York Public Library, explored the ways librarians and collectors have protected and housed their treasures throughout history, while describing libraries and book culture in general. Next came Among the Gently Mad: Strategies and Perspectives for the Book-Hunter in the 21st Century (Holt, 2002), a spin-off book from the first book. Arriving after that was A Splendor of Letters: The Permanence of Books in an Impermanent World (HarperCollins, 2003), an expanded section intended for Patience & Fortitude that looked at how books are preserved for succeeding generations. Borrowing from Ranganathan's third law of library science, Basbanes' recent book, Every Book Its Reader (HarperCollins, 2005), allowed him to draw on numerous taped interviews conducted for A Gentle Madness that were never used. His next work will be a centennial history of Yale University Press. The Lowell, Massachusetts, native spoke at Indiana University as a guest of its Medieval Studies Institute in October 2005, when William F. Meehan III sat down with the author at the Grant Street Inn in Bloomington

Vegetation patterns associated with a large rock plate in the Meehan Range, Tasmania
No full textRock outcrops provide unusual environmental conditions, often being the habitats of disjunct populations or rare species. A large rock plate on Mt Direction, within the Meehan Range, southeastern Tasmania, supports an open-heath of unusual floristic composition, and contains the only known population of Ozothamnus reflexifolius Leeson & Rozefelds. Four floristic communities occur on and around the plate, forming a sequence from the open-heath on the plate itself to tall woodland with a dense understorey of small trees where rock and bare ground cover are low. Patterns of moisture availability, related to soil depth, aspect, slope and topographic position seem to best explain the floristic, structural and species richness patterns in the area

Vitamin K and atopic eczema
No full textVitamin K has been routinely given to newborn infants in Australia for several decades. It has been administered soon after birth to prevent Haemorraghic Disease of the Newborn (HDN), a rare but potentially fatal bleeding disorder which may present in the first few months of life. Following a 1992 report in the British Medical Journal suggesting that children given intramuscular Vitamin K had a two fold risk of cancer compared to those given Vitamin K orally or not at all, an expert panel was established to respond to the findings.
Atopic eczema is a common skin condition affecting about 3% of children, however approximately 85% of children will grow out of eczema by 5 years of age
Citizenship and the European Union. ZEI Discussion Papers: 2000, C 63
No full textIntroduction. The idea and practice of European citizenship is relevant in two main ways to the recent controversy in Germany over plans by the governing Social-Democratic Party to reform citizenship law. One of these is that the concepts of citizenship and nationality continue to be thought of as synonymous in Germany but are now relatively distinct, both linguistically and politically, in several other national regimes and in the European Union (EU). Secondly, on the one hand, new German provisions will be more similar than before to the nationality laws of other member states by introducing a right [as opposed to a discretionary possibility] to citizenship through residence and legal naturalization, as well as ancestry. But, on the other, the decision on 16 March 1999 to abandon the possibility of dual citizenship [or, in my language, nationality] means that, in this respect, the German approach to citizenship now runs counter to suggestions made by some specialists about the EU as a site of democratic practice. This paper will open with a brief discussion of the distinctiveness of citizenship and nationality. This is necessary so that one can understand the following section outlining EU provisions. In conclusion, this paper will discuss some of the arguments about the prospects for EU citizenship, with special reference to loosening the overlap between the legal label of national identity and the normative practice of citizenship
