Abstract:

Purpose Aftercare is an important predictor of outcomes following treatment for substance abuse. Despite this, there is evidence that the great majority of substance abusing clients choose not to participate in aftercare. Aftercare programs that are tied to specific residential treatment facilities, sometimes known as alumni groups or alumni clubs, might increase participation by offering former residents the opportunity to maintain treatment oriented social networks. Therapeutic communities (TCs), which emphasize mutual aid between residents, are ideal candidates for such programs. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In total, 100 randomly chosen former TC residents were randomly surveyed regarding their contact with fellow alumni and their exchange of recovery oriented helping behaviors. A thirty day timeline follow-back methodology was used. Findings Contact was primarily through electronic means, particularly phone calls, texts and the alumni club Facebook page. Participants who reported more electronic contact also reported more days in which they offered and received recovery oriented help. Participants who were African American or had spent more time in TC treatment offered and received recovery oriented help on more days. Research limitations/implications While this is an exploratory study limited to one TC, this alumni club allows for the maintenance of a mutual aid network after termination. That network primarily consists of electronic forms of contact. A longer time spent in TC treatment may allow for the internalization of the practice of mutual aid. Further research on alumni clubs is warranted. Originality/value This is the first survey of TC alumni club members.

Abstract:

Education can play a role in heightening the development of social entrepreneurship (SE) knowledge and skills in a developing country. Malaysia is amongst countries with undesirably low achievement level in the overall social entrepreneurship activity. Hence, efforts need to be enhanced so that the younger generation would be more inclined and motivated to partake in social entrepreneurship to contribute to the existing added value that students already possess. The early cultivation of social entrepreneurship can be detected through informal exposure by students who are actively involved in voluntary projects and developmental community club called ENACTUS. Apart from that, some higher education institutions are offering subjects and short term projects related to social entrepreneurship. The efficacy of SE education will be a yard stick to ensure that more prospective social entrepreneurs are produced in the future. Therefore, a descriptive research has been conducted on 350 ENACTUS members using stratified sampling to explore students and alumni perception on social entrepreneurship. Findings showed that a majority of students agreed if SE education is made a compulsory course in HEI. However, the alumni did not agree with this idea. Although many students and Alumni admitted that they understand the social entrepreneurship concept, nevertheless there are a select few who could not complete their main goal when managing ENACTUS projects. Therefore, they were unable to make their ideologies run concurrently with goals of the projects. This article will attempt to discuss the implications of cultivating the social entrepreneurship culture.

Abstract:

Objective: Health professionals deal with different professional situations. Among them are many which encroach on intimate sphere of the patient. The aim of the research was to evaluate the sexology course, integrated in the basic undergraduate education of midwives, who are, when practicing, dealing with different situations that are closely connected to the patients’ sexuality. Design and Method: The quantitative research method was adopted. The research tool was questionnaire. The link of the online survey was sent to all members of midwifery alumni club of the only midwifery faculty in Slovenia. The questionnaire was composed of mainly closed questions that used Likert scale in order to gather graduates opinions regarding the sexology course. The online survey was chosen since it provided confidentiality to the respondents. Results: 112 graduates participated in the survey, which gave the response rate of 65%. 97% of participants found sexology subject useful for practice of midwifery. They would like to work in smaller groups and to extend the topics over 3 ECTS. Also contents and methods were evaluated and changes were proposed. Conclusions: On the basis of the response of the participants, we can claim that midwives did find the sexology course applicable for their professional work. Qualitative method could be used in the future in order to gain in-depth information regarding the reflections; especially the topics that should be added in the sexology education. Other profiles could also find the course useful, therefore it should be considered to provide it also for nurses and other health students.

Abstract:

While scholars have shown that well-connected applicants are advantaged in selection processes, less understood is whether such applicants produce important returns to the organization when key decision makers favor them. We begin to address this gap by investigating whether and why application endorsements―an informal practice whereby certain individuals (i.e., endorsers) advocate for particular applicants―affect organizational selection during the screening of applicants. Through the analysis of the population of 21,324 applicants to a full-time MBA program over a seven-year period, we find that even after controlling for individual qualifications and competencies, endorsed applicants are advantaged over non-endorsed applicants in admissions interview and offer decisions. In seeking to explain this advantage, we develop and test four key theoretical explanations pertaining to the potential returns on application endorsements for the organization. We find inconsistent evidence that endorsed applicants are “better qualified” compared with non-endorsed applicants during screening: while endorsed applicants are sometimes assessed to be stronger “on paper,” they generally receive lower competency assessments than non-endorsed applicants later, during the admissions interviews. Further, our analysis of data on matriculating MBA students reveals that those endorsed as applicants are not “better performers” academically (measured by grade point average) or in the job market after graduation (measured by full-time salaries or signing bonuses) compared with non-endorsed individuals. In contrast, individuals endorsed as applicants appear to be “better citizens” upon joining the organization—in our research setting, they are more likely to participate in student club leadership roles than non-endorsed individuals. We also find that they are “better alumni”―that is, they make larger monetary donations to the school after graduating than their non-endorsed counterparts. We conclude with implications for understanding the impact of application endorsements on labor and educational markets.

Abstract:

Through the analysis of alumni survey data from three graduating cohorts, this study examined the influence of interaction with international students on domestic students’ college outcomes and explored factors that helped to promote international interaction on college campuses. The findings indicate that in comparison to non-interactive domestic students, highly interactive domestic students reported significantly higher levels of development in a wide range of areas across the three cohorts. Also, the findings suggest that active engagement in college activities, such as coursework outside the major, contact with faculty outside class, ethnic or cultural clubs or organizations, and visiting speakers, was likely to promote interaction across cultures.

Abstract:

<p> This qualitative research is a study of four Alumni from Omega Boys Club of San Francisco, a strengths-based youth development and violence prevention program. A strengths-based approach uses positive understanding, positive relationships and cultural competency to interrupt the effects of violence in youth's lives. </p><p> The study sought to answer the following questions: What does a strength-based intervention program in response to community violence look like? How, if at all, are young people's behaviors changed by their participation in strengths-based intervention programs? How, if at all, is young people's thinking changed by their participation in a strengths-based intervention program? </p><p> This study answers these questions through the lens of qualitative case studies from the perspective of the four alumni participants and identifies the essential elements of strengths-based approaches to a successful, sustainable, and culturally appropriate youth development and violence prevention program. </p><p> Significant themes emerged from the data. Three primary themes from the conceptual framework were confirmed by the data: (a) positive understanding of community (b) sense of belonging/positive relationships and (c) cultural competence. Two other themes also emerged (a) the importance of family values and (b) persistence. </p><p> Positive understanding is defined in this study is the ability of a strengths-based organization to understand adolescent development and character strengths contributing to the healthy development of the whole person—intellectually, emotionally and socially. A sense of belonging was shared by participants as key to their connectedness to good relationships and trust with peers and caring adults. Culturally competent youth development programs come with the understanding that cultural competency is an important social and political element in efforts to model positive self-images— psychological, intellectual, and social development of participants. Finally, family and persistence themes are associated with the successful transformational journey of Omega Boys Club of San Francisco alumni and alumnae. Self-regulation, support and encouragement—friends and family—and family values, juxtaposed with persistence to change—struggle and progression--catapulted the Omega participants into reconstructed norms, values and beliefs—<i>alive and free</i>. </p><p> This research is useful information to community-based organizations to formulate an understanding of youth violence prevention programming and to recruit and retain culturally competent staff and implement culturally relevant programs. This information is fundamental to teachers and school site administrators because it plants the seeds to successfully cultivate culturally competent and culturally relevant teaching and learning that garners academic success and cultural awareness, especially for African American males. </p>

Abstract:

Un club de matemáticas se conforma por estudiantes principalmente de secundaria que desean reunirse para realizar actividades adecuadas, así como perfeccionar o adquirir conocimientos y destrezas en esta área. De acuerdo con la experiencia se sabe que el poseedor del conocimiento del lenguaje matemático y las competencias derivadas de esta disciplina tendrá algunas ventajas significativas de cara a su desempeño escolar y posteriormente a nivel técnico y profesional. Las nuevas metodologías de los procesos enseñanza-aprendizaje, hacen necesaria una integración entre las diversas áreas. Hemos visto como en muchas ocasiones se trabaja de manera independiente en cada una de ellas desaprovechando la oportunidad que se tiene de fortalecer los aprendizajes y de lograr unos mejores resultados en los estudiantes. Además, al dialogar con los estudiantes, observamos que les gusta la iniciativa de integrarse con estudiantes de otros grupos para compartir ideas, conocimientos, opiniones de diversos temas en general y en particular en lo relacionado con las matemáticas. A través de la vivencia en las clases de matemáticas hemos observado como en muchos de los estudiantes existe el interés por trabajar o profundizar en los temas que se presentan en esta materia, ya que las matemáticas son una herramienta fundamental para el desarrollo de muchos temas. Surge entonces la iniciativa de conformar un Club de Matemáticas que permita la integración de estudiantes de diversos grupos alrededor de esta área para que sirva como medio de intercambio de experiencias, mejoramiento académico y mecanismo de profundización y más aun con un nivel de preparación para participar en Olimpiadas de Matemática.<br>A math club is made up of mainly high school students who want to get together to carry out appropriate activities, as well as to perfect or acquire knowledge and skills in this area. According to experience, it is known that the possessor of the knowledge of mathematical language and the competences derived from this discipline will have some significant advantages regarding their academic performance and later at a technical and professional level. The new methodologies of the teaching-learning processes make an integration between the various areas necessary. We have seen how on many occasions they work independently in each one of them, wasting the opportunity they have to strengthen learning and achieve better results in students. In addition, when dialoguing with the students, we observed that they like the initiative of integrating with students from other groups to share ideas, knowledge, opinions on various topics in general and in particular in relation to mathematics. Through the experience in mathematics classes we have observed how in many of the students there is an interest in working or delving into the topics presented in this subject, since mathematics is a fundamental tool for the development of many topics. Then the initiative arises to form a Mathematics Club that allows the integration of students from different groups around this area to serve as a means of exchange of experiences, academic improvement and deepening mechanism and even more with a level of preparation to participate in Mathematical Olympics.<br>Trabajo de investigación

A influência da temperatura e tempo de reação na quantidade de alumina incorporada na superfície da sílica foram estudados. Os resultados mostraram que uma maior porcentagem de alumina é obtida sobre a sílica quando a reação com isopropóxido de alumínio é realizada por 8 h à 80 °C. Para se obter uma boa cobertura polimérica dos grupos hidroxila do suporte foram aplicados diferentes tempos e temperaturas para imobilização térmica do PMOS sobre o suporte. Os resultados cromatográficos mostraram que é obtida uma FE com bom desempenho quando submetida a imobilização à 120 °C por 8 h. Uma FE obtida sob estas condições apresentou um comportamento cromatográfico semelhante a uma FE comercial à base de alumina e uma maior estabilidade quanto à dissolução do suporte quando submetida a passagem de FM alcalina, se comparada a uma FE baseada em sílica pura.<br>Abstract: In this work stationary phases using silica modified with alumina (as support) with poly(methyloctylsiloxane) (PMOS) immobilized on its surface (as liquid stationary phase) were prepered and evaluated, with the objective of obtaining stable and efficient stationary phases (SP) for use in Reversed Phase (RP) High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), as an alternative to SP based on pure silica. The influence of temperature and reaction time on the amount of alumina incorporated on the silica surface was studied. The results showed that the greatest aluminium porcentage on silica was obtained when the reaction with aluminium isopropoxide was carried out for 8 h at 80 °C. In order to obtain a good polimeric covering of the support hydroxyl groups, different times and temperatures for the thermal immobilization of PMOS onto the support were used. The chromatographic evaluations indicate that the SP with the best performance was that where the PMOS was immobilized at 120 °C for 8 h. A SP obtained under these thermal treatment conditions showed chromatographic behaviour similar to that of a commercial alumina-based reversed-phase chromatographic column and greater stability in a basic mobile phase than a SP prepared with silica not modified with alumina.<br>Mestrado<br>Quimica Analitica<br>Mestre em Química

Abstract:

The dissertation journey from student to scholar is filled with hurdles that can be difficult to navigate alone, especially as online students. Many adult students who have stepped foot onto the path to earning a doctoral degree did so in a non-traditional environment that included a mix of work and family obligations, and the need to prove that they have earned the right to be called “doctor.” In 2017, the Jersey City Campus of University of Phoenix launched the Research Club, a monthly gathering of doctoral students, faculty, and alumni in the New York-New Jersey area. The initiative was designed to bring together a team to help doctoral students succeed through an in-person informal structure of conversation and peer-to-peer support to supplement the work of the dissertation committee. This chapter chronicles the first three years and affirms the need for innovative in-person strategies for providing doctoral support through informal communities of practice.

Abstract:

Ida Pope’s first-hand account of the years that brought her pupils into womanhood during the loss of their kingdom tells an important story about the Hawaiians and a rapidly changing world. Pope fought vigorously for her pupils and alumnae as she saw them struggling under the weight of conflicting expectations imposed on them by the swiftly changing economy. To that end, she worked relentlessly to provide opportunities that would help her young women advance in their society. Pope devised a unique plan, establishing three different options for her graduates; the Honor and Trust Fund, the Kamehameha Alumnae Loan Fund and Relief Fund. Her alumnae could now cover their teacher and/or nursing training in higher education and pay back the money once they were working. History reveals the success of these funds. To keep close tabs on her graduates, Pope developed an alumnae association and constitutionally aligned it with the progressive General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC). Founded in 1890, the nonpartisan, nondenominational organization was dedicated to empowering women. In Pope’s forty-eighth year of life, one of her alumna gave her a child to raise. Gladys was given in the hānai tradition to Ida May Pope at age four. Gladys Brandt grew up to be a fierce defender of Hawaiian traditions, and the Historic Hawai‘i Foundation recognized her as a “living treasure.”

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the relationship of Spelman women to their education as students and alumnae between the 1880s and the 1920s. The African American women who attended Spelman Seminary incorporated the message of the seminary with values they learned from their families, churches, and community to fashion their own definition of respectable Christian womanhood. Although accepting the school’s message of moral improvement, alumnae perceived it as a means to attain leadership and an opportunity to work for individual and social uplift. Spelman alumnae viewed their cultivation of personal respectability, their work as homemakers and professionals, and their church and club organizations as their responsibility as educated women and as part of their quest for social and racial justice.

Abstract:

This concluding chapter describes how missionaries transition from on-campus evangelization to Catholic life after FOCUS and speculates about the impact of FOCUS on US Catholicism. A small percentage of former missionaries become priests and sisters. But, most FOCUS alumni get married, have children, join local parishes, and find work in positions ranging from corporate America to diocesan offices to service-oriented nonprofits. They join local moms’ groups and softball leagues and they start Bible studies and knitting clubs. These millennial-generation Catholics are trained and motivated to encourage Catholic identity in parishes across the country. US Catholicism is being reshaped by how these former missionaries integrate their years as missionaries into the Catholic pews.

Abstract:

This chapter explores four categories of organizations that support academy-business partnerships. First, there are general organizations that guide higher education behavior in academy-business partnerships. This area also includes third-party accrediting agencies and rankings. Second, there are also general organizations that guide business-industry relationships in academy-business partnerships. Some in this area also include third-party indices and ratings of businesses and corporations. Third, some support organizations emphasize human resource, human capital, or talent and skill development including career services and relationships with professional associations, student clubs, honor societies, and alumni relations. Finally, some organizations are research and/or commercialization related for technology transfer. While these supporting organizations are independent, they periodically interact to share ideas and best practices.

Abstract:

Coincidiendo con el centenario del Valencia Club de Fútbol, la comisión de la plaza de la Reina se unió a esta celebración con la reproducción de la falla conmemorativa que en 1925 se levantó a las puertas de la sede de la institución deportiva. A través del Instituto de Restauración del Patrimonio (IRP-UPV) esta falla vuelve a erigirse en el mismo entorno después de un estudio documental para determinar sus características técnicas originales y concretar una versión imitativa por medio de los procedimientos de la época. La recuperación de las antiguas técnicas y materiales del oficio de artista fallero concurre como objetivo didáctico fundamental, así como la utilización de métodos y rituales tradicionales durante la plantà de la falla y su posterior traslado por el barrio. La utilización de procesos tradicionales, como la creación de ninots de acuerdo con la articulación de miembros de cera, con estructuras internas de madera, cartón, paja y tela; la reproducción seriada de elementos decorativos en cartón-piedra; o el modelado directo de motivos con cartones y pastas celulósicas, otorga la oportunidad de rescatar los viejos procedimientos por medio del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP). De este modo, se ha generado un grupo de trabajo diversificado, compuesto por investigadores del IRP, miembros de la comisión fallera y alumnos del Grado de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales. El modelo de enseñanza ABP ha posibilitado el desarrollo de un proyecto cimentado en la cooperación en grupo, envolvente y de gran motivación. El plan de acción contempló el desarrollo de estrategias de difusión que posibilitaron visibilizar los resultados de esta experiencia, con la producción de un breve documental institucional, el diseño de paneles divulgativos en el entorno de la falla y otras acciones que consideran los valores culturales de la fiesta en toda su magnitud patrimonial.

Abstract:

Potential students and their parents are looking at schools differently than in the past: an out cropping of the new generation of parents and students. Academics are still the prime concern but more frequently than in past years families are concerned about the organization. Does the program have an identity that will assist in getting jobs? Is there a presence within the community? Do the faculty and students take pride in what is being accomplished and are graduates proud of their education and their school? The best way to answer these questions is to allow the families a chance to interact with students, see their products, read the posters of their work and show where graduates work. This paper will discuss the process needed to cultivate an engineering or engineering technology program into one with an identity, presence and ultimately pride. The paper will describe leadership steps that can be taken to generate pride and distinctiveness, first to the faculty, and then to the student body. Resulting in a close nit and enviable community where education can flourish, and the students’ academic related clubs are active and involved on campus. Where alumni look forward to visiting and helping with student projects. Where they take pride in their alma mater and often seek new hires from the program. Where faculty members win teaching awards and enjoy their time in the classroom and advising students. A case study will be presented and, detailed examples will be cited demonstrating how the students “caught on” and took pride to a new level based on the successful implementation at a university. It will show that leadership lessons learned by students while in school, continued to be used after they graduated. The case study will further demonstrate why everyone associated with the program feels that the engineering technology program is a great place to learn and work.
