Al Qaeda and the Islamic State’s Break: Strategic Strife or Lackluster Leadership?
No full textPublished in:
Tricia Bacon & Elizabeth Grimm Arsenault (2017) Al Qaeda and the Islamic State's Break: Strategic Strife or Lackluster Leadership?, Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, DOI: 10.1080/1057610X.2017.1373895Employing counterfactuals to assess individual and systemic explanations for the split between al Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), this article concludes that individual leaders factor greatly into terrorist alliance outcomes. Osama bin Laden was instrumental in keeping al Qaeda and ISIS allied as he prioritized unity and handled internal disputes more deftly than his successor, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Although a troubled alliance, strategic differences between al Qaeda and ISIS were not sufficient to cause the split. Rather, the capabilities of al Qaeda’s leader determined the group’s ability to prevent alliance ruptures

Development and evaluation of training in culturally specific screening and brief intervention for hospital patients with alcohol-related injuries
No full textObjective\ud
\ud
To evaluate health practitioners’ confidence and knowledge of alcohol screening, brief intervention and referral after training in a culturally adapted intervention on alcohol misuse and well-being issues for trauma patients.\ud
\ud
Design\ud
\ud
Mixed methods, involving semi-structured interviews at baseline and a post-workshop questionnaire.\ud
Setting: Targeted acute care within a remote area major tertiary referral hospital.\ud
\ud
Participants\ud
\ud
Ten key informants and 69 questionnaire respondents from relevant community services and hospital-based health care professionals.\ud
\ud
Intervention\ud
\ud
Screening and brief intervention training workshops and resources for 59 hospital staff.\ud
\ud
Main outcome measures\ud
\ud
Self-reported staff knowledge of alcohol screening, brief intervention and referral, and satisfaction with workshop content and format.\ud
\ud
Results\ud
\ud
After training, 44% of participants reported being motivated to implement alcohol screening and intervention. Satisfaction with training was high, and most participants reported that their knowledge of screening and brief intervention was improved.\ud
\ud
Conclusion\ud
\ud
Targeted educational interventions can improve the knowledge and confidence of inpatient staff who manage patients at high risk of alcohol use disorder. Further research is needed to determine the duration of the effect and influence on practice behaviour. Ongoing integrated training, linked with systemic support and established quality improvement processes, is required to facilitate sustained change and widespread dissemination
Dangerously Knowable: A Paradoxical Case of Constructing Radical Hybrid Literacy Practices
No full textIn this paper I describe aspects of a case study of constructing radical hybrid literacy practices that show Lucy Luna, a White 2nd and 4th grade bilingual teacher and I, a White university researcher, engaged in paradoxical work. Over a year together, Lucy and I intended to utilize post-colonial concepts of hybridity and liminal spaces to create classroom practices that we hoped would disrupt dualisms in pedagogy such as English/Spanish and American/Other and open liminal spaces for students to express themselves in more relevant ways. However, I describe three paradoxical processes that unfolded: mastering hybridity, estranging the "strange," and (de)colonizing. I suggest that embracing the paradoxes of educational ethnography can push current research in multicultural education to move beyond positioning students as dangerously knowable by narrowly mapping student identities. About the Author Tricia Gallagher-Geurtsen, a former bilingual elementary and migrant education teacher, earned her Ed.D. from Teachers College, Columbia University. Tricia teaches, writes, and consults about methods and theory for teaching multicultural and multilingual youth. Tricia can be contacted at [email protected]
Tool for finding relationships between traits in games
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2018.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (page 12).In this paper, we introduce a tool to transform tabular data into an interactive network map. Compared to previous visualization tools, ours allows for more customization in terms of datasets, connecting nodes, and appearance. We describe three use scenarios where the tool was effective in helping users accomplish tasks related to activities of an academic working within the field of game studies, such as selecting games based on certain criteria, presenting games and traits, and analyzing a growing dataset of games. STAR (Select Traits and Relationships) has been found to be useful in understanding relational aspects of datasets which are hard to get to without interactive visualizations and extensive customization options.by Tricia A.

Central state child care policies in postauthoritarian Spain: Implications for gender and carework arrangements
No full textIn Spain, public preschool programs have continuously expanded in the past three decades. However, this education policy has done little to support increases in the proportion of women in the paid workforce. Preschool is not child care because the former does not address the care needed by children younger than three years old and offers programs with short hours and long holidays.Publicad
Improved resistance to root pests: final report to Grape and Wine Research & Development Corporation
No full textThere were two major aims of this project, which was jointly funded by GWRDC and CRCV2. The first aim was to identify and characterise grapevine genes involved in the plantâ s interaction
with phylloxera and/or root-knot nematode. This information could be used to design strategies for engineering novel resistance to these pests in grapevine. The second aim of the project was to develop and use systems to rapidly assess candidate genes for preventing infestation of vine roots by phylloxera and/or root-knot nematode. Progress towards both goals was achieved despite premature termination of the project after 4, instead of 7 years.Project Leader: Dr. Robyn van Heeswijck until her retirement in July, 2002, then Prof. Steve Tyerman (in an administrative capacity); Author Details: Dr Tricia Franks (using text from the original application by Dr. Robyn van Heeswijck
Evaluation of an intervention for patients with alcohol-related injuries: results of a mixed methods study
No full textObjective: \ud
\ud
To explore the effect of education and training on the delivery of alcohol screening and brief intervention and referral to high-risk patients in a hospital setting. Main outcome measures included; delivery of training; practice change in relation to staff performing alcohol screening, brief intervention and referrals.\ud
\ud
Methods: \ud
\ud
Observational study design using mixed methods set in a tertiary referral hospital. Pre-post assessment of medical records and semi-structured interviews with key informants.\ud
\ud
Results: \ud
\ud
Routine screening for substance misuse (9% pre / 71.4% post) and wellbeing concerns (6.6% pre / 15 % post) was more frequent following the introduction of resources and staff participation in educational workshops. There was no evidence of a concomitant increase in delivery of brief intervention or referrals to services. Implementation challenges, including time constraints and staff attitudes, and enablers such as collaboration and visible pathways, were identified.\ud
\ud
Conclusion: \ud
\ud
Rates of patient screening increased, however barriers to delivery of brief intervention and referrals remained. Implementation strategies targeting specific barriers and enablers to introducing interventions are both required to improve the application of secondary prevention for patients in acute settings.\ud
\ud
Implications: \ud
\ud
Educational training, formalised liaison between services, systematised early intervention protocols, and continuous quality improvement processes will progress service delivery in this area
