    An Exploration of Emotional Intelligence in Community College Leadership

    Get PDF
    This study explored emotional intelligence as it related to community college leadership. Three community colleges agreed to participate in the study. The researcher assessed the emotional intelligence of supervisors. The employees rated their perceived leadership practices of their supervisors. The researcher utilized a correlation method to determine if relationships were found between the variables; emotional intelligence of supervisors and perceived leadership practices. A correlation method was utilized to determine if any relationship existed between assessed emotional intelligence scores of the supervisors and leadership development hours. A descriptive analysis was utilized to determine if a participating community college embedded emotional intelligence concepts in their leadership training. The results indicated that no significant relationship was found between emotional intelligence and their perceived leadership practices. The results indicated that no significant relationship was found between assessed emotional intelligence scores and their leadership development training. The researcher found no emotional intelligence concepts in leadership development material that was submitted for analysis

    The Politics of Pollution, Another Fallout of Acid Rain

    Get PDF
    The threat of acid rain is a side effect of the switch to coal as a major fuel for producing energy in the United States. Despite the existence of technology to reduce the pollutants that cause acid rain, the emissions of sulfur and nitric oxides are likely to increase because among several factors of political resistance to regulatory controls. The politics of pollution pit energy production and economic growth against environmental quality. Developing a regulatory policy is further complicated by the difficulty of isolating specific environmental effects attributable to acid rain apart from natural causes within the ecosystem. The question facing policy makers is whether the politics of pollution and the inherent difficulties of environmental research can be overcome before protecting the environ from the effects of acid rain is no longer an option

    Creating and Manipulating Formalized Software Architectures to Support a Domain-Oriented Application Composition System

    This research investigated technology which enables sophisticated users to specify, generate, and maintain application software in domain-oriented terms. To realize this new technology, a development environment, called Architect, was designed and implemented. Using canonical formal specifications of domain objects, Architect rapidly composes these specifications into a software application and executes a prototype of that application as a means to demonstrate its correctness before any programming language specific code is generated. Architect depends upon the existence of a formal object base (or domain model) which was investigated by another student in related research. The research described in this thesis relied on the concept of a software architecture, which was a key to Architect\u27s successful implementation. Various software architectures were evaluated and the Object-Connection-Update (OCU) model, developed by the Software Engineering Institute, was selected. The Software Refinery environment was used to implement the composition process which encompasses connecting specified domain objects into a composed application, performing semantic analysis on the composed application, and, if no errors are discovered, simulating the execution of the application. Architect was validated using both artificial and realistic domains and was found to be a solid foundation upon which to build a full-scale application composition system

    Tissue Adhesives

    The goal of this paper is to summarize the best available evidence comparing tissue adhesives and tradition suture in the repair of traumatic lacerations in children. As providers caring for children, we want an efficient method of laceration repair that has the best cosmetic outcome. We want a repair without complications and to minimize the amount of pain and anxiety experienced by our patients and families. Numerous peer-reviewed, published studies have found that when used appropriately tissue adhesives are faster, less painful, and more economic than traditional suturing. Patients have fewer complications, reduced risk of infection, and excellent cosmetic outcomes. Overall the evidence suggests that using a tissue adhesive is a cheaper method of laceration repair and results in greater satisfaction for both the patient and the practitioner. Based on these comparisons, an evidenced based decision should be made
