"Perl's of wisdom" : "Rabbi" Sam Perl, new models of acculturation, and the "in-between" Jew
No full texttext“‘Perl’s of Wisdom’: ‘Rabbi’ Sam Perl, New Models of Acculturation, and the ‘In-Between’ Jew” examines archival materials from the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The Brownsville Herald and El Heraldo de Brownsville to demonstrate how Sam Perl — an Eastern European Jewish immigrant who changed the face of Brownsville, Texas — redefines historical approaches to Jewish acculturation. In this bordertown, Perl not only revitalized the Jewish community when he became the temple’s lay-rabbi, but he also actively united Mexican and Anglo communities both in Brownsville and across the border in its sister city of Matamoros. In Perl’s efforts to simultaneously revitalize his own religious community and the greater social landscape of the border area, Perl proved that he did not need to conform to the expectations of Anglo-Christian identity to succeed. Challenging theories of whiteness studies scholars, Perl never sacrificed his Jewish identity, had a boulevard named after him, and came to be known as “Mr. Brownsville.” Indeed, Perl’s profound impact on the Brownsville-Matamoros community was the result of his ability to occupy an “in-between,” interstitial position that did not require him to blend in with majority cultures; that is, Perl remained distinctly Jewish while simultaneously involving himself in both Anglo and Mexican arenas. Immersing himself in every aspect of bordertown life, Perl occupied multiple roles of community authority, serving as a businessman, rabbi, a Charro Days founder, cultural diplomat, court chaplain and radio host. A close examination of Perl’s life and considerable legacy demonstrates how new acculturation models are needed to better understand the manner in which Jews like Perl have adapted and contributed to dominant cultures.Histor

Izvori informacija u dostupnim EBSCO bazama podataka za istraživanja u visokom školstvu u Srbiji = Academic research in Serbia and available database resources
No full textUniversities in Serbia have access to large amounts of quality information through online full text databases. Specific details regarding the world’s two most comprehensive full text research data-bases, Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier are provided. The paper examines which databases are strongest in each discipline, and covers issues such as the availability of journals most-cited, full text formats, peer-review status, embargo periods, backfills, and other important facets. Additional information depicts reasons for tremendous increase in the availability of information in the Serbia, and the value that these resources bring to researchers in universities
FLORISTIC INVENTORY OF THE PINEYWOODS ENVIORNMENTAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES (PERL), WALKER COUNTY, TEXAS
No full textA floristic survey of the vascular plants of the Pineywoods Environmental
Research Laboratory (PERL) was conducted. PERL is in Walker County, Texas five miles east of Huntsville. PERL is approximately 247 acres or .99 km2 in size and is managed by the Department of Biological Sciences at Sam Houston State University. The vegetation includes Loblolly Pine Forest and Mixed Deciduous Hardwood Forest. The vascular flora of PERL was documented through a combination of field surveys and herbarium study. A total of 477 species of vascular plants across 112 families and 311 genera were collected within PERL, represented by: 7 Pteridophytes, 3 Gymnosperms, 115 Monocots, and 352 Dicots, together comprising 41.4% of the total vascular plant
species in Walker County. The number of unique taxa collected during field work was recorded every two weeks and the data was entered into a species accumulation curve. After approximately a year and a half of field surveying the accumulated number of species reached an asymptote. It was at this point that the decision to stop collecting was made, as no significant gain in species richness would be observed. A species area curve predicted the vascular flora of PERL at 356 species, 121 species fewer than what was observed. The higher-than-expected species richness can be attributed to a large number of non-native species (65 taxa) found at PERL, and by a recent native prairie restoration project that included the planting of native species not previously present at PERL. Finally, an analysis of the counts of different categories of plant species were calculated: wetland (92), non-native (65), endangered (2), and endemic (11)
