Leading by Example: Coaches’ Perspectives of the Nonverbal Leaders on Sport Teams

Within the last century, scholars in sociology and psychology have begun to research roles in society. In recent decades, industrial/organizational psychology research sparked an interest in informal roles, and now sport psychology is beginning to adopt that investigation of informal roles as they appear on sport teams. Current research is sparse, but some early work has determined several informal roles, and one of these has been individually investigated. The purpose of this study was to contribute to the expansion of knowledge concerning individual informal roles by investigating collegiate coaches’ perspectives of a second role: the nonverbal leader. Analysis revealed ideas that coaches shared about the characteristics, emergence, consequences, and management of nonverbal leaders on sport teams

Whose Job Is It? Strategies of a Team-Based Institutional Repository

St. John Fisher College’s Lavery Library has a growing institutional repository, but no full-time position dedicated to it. In the five years since the repository’s creation, Lavery Library has employed a library-wide team effort to support the repository’s development. This poster depicts some of the successful strategies this small academic library has employed while collectively endeavoring to archive new content, including vital collaborations between library departments and other faculty and staff on campus

Top pair cross section measurements at the LHC

The most recent results on the measurements of (tt) production and cross sections at 7 TeV are presented. These are obtained using CMS [1] and ATLAS [2] data collected in 2011. Recent results on the tt production cross section at 8 TeV using 2012 CMS data are also presented. The tt inclusive cross sections are measured in the lepton+jets, dilepton and fully hadronic channels, including the tau-dilepton and tau+jets modes. The results are combined and confronted with precise theory calculations.Comment: Proceedings of CKM 2012, the 7th International Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, University of Cincinnati, USA, 28 September - 2 October 201

Diet Analysis for Wildlife Management: Protecting the Cheetah in Namibia

I spent the summer of 2014 in the genetics laboratory of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia, Africa, to learn about the diets of the carnivores in the surrounding conservancy. I used genetic identification and macroscopic and microscopic analysis on almost one hundred scat samples to identify the prey eaten by ten different predators. My results showed that some of their prey preferences overlapped and that none of the samples contained remains of farmers’ livestock. These results will help the CCF in managing and protecting the declining cheetah population. I participated in the various educational activities at the CCF and worked with people from many cultures. This experience has influenced my future career plans and made me even more passionate about conservation of wildlife

International Monetary Fund: From Stabiliy to Instability (The Washington Consensus and Structural Reforms in Latin America

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) was created to set a standard for development and to facilitate the exchange transactions of the lnternational Financial System (IFS) in the framework of the established international economic order. During the last three decades, the IMF has transformed itself into an international financial organization whose main objective has been to act as a "lender of last resort" in the face of the instability generated by financial crises during this period. The Washington Consensus and the Structural Reforms in Latin America have jointly contributed to increase the instability in the region in a democratic context. It is therefore important to establish the reasons for the creation of a post war international monetary system and for the ongoing changes in the relationship between international financial institutions and the economic and political international arder. In addition, financial globalization and financial markets have fulfilled a strategic role in the performance of emerging economics, resulting from changes in the global financial system. Also, the development of capitalism and the economic reforms of the Washington Consensus have deepened the transformation of the economic structures of goverments, which have passed from authoritarian and regulated regimes to deregulated, democratic and market-driven systems. However, democracy and its significance on the path of economic, political social reorganization, has not given opportunities to the majority of the population, which has not seen the benefits from the reorganization of relations between countries in the process of globalization
