Don\u27t Go Crazy

Student generated description: “I will be donating a board game I created. The start of the game represents when COVID-19 started and the end of the game represents when cities started opening. The characters are a mask, toilet paper roll, hand sanitizer, water, dove soap, and COVID-19. They represent things that were out of stock during the pandemic and the soap, COVID-19 represent having to clean our hands all the time due to COVID -19. The starting card is a ice breaker in the game and the rest of the card contain events I went through and if they are good events I advance in the game but if they are bad events, I go back a space or two. For example, I went through a break up during quarantine and I put you just went through a break up, skip a turn . Sometimes there is shortcut tickets where they can go through the shortcuts and also there is cards where you can either help or not the person you are playing with

Foundation Funding to Address Domestic Violence in California

The emotional, physical, and mental health consequences of domestic violence are numerous and ripple not only through generations of families directly impacted, but through communities and society overall. Programs and policies that enable survivors and their families to access services and escape violence are critical to breaking the cycle of violence for future generations. Education and prevention are increasingly important to promote healthy relationships. Eliminating domestic violence in California will require partnership and collaboration among leaders, advocates, and practitioners from local and state government, community organizations, and organized philanthropy. To enable this work, Blue Shield of California Foundation commissioned the Foundation Center to prepare this first-ever examination of the role of U.S. foundations in addressing domestic violence-related issues in California

Growth in Foundation Support for Media in the United States

Over the last decade, media -- the means by which we communicate -- has evolved significantly. Television, radio, and print newspapers and magazines were once the primary means to obtain news and information. However, the rapid evolution of the Internet and mobile technology has generated new media platforms and expanded the universe of information creators, producers, and distributors. Media information once flowed in one direction, but the expansion of the field has made the movement more diffuse.With this changing landscape as a backdrop, the Foundation Center, with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Wyncote Foundation, and in collaboration with Media Impact Funders, GuideStar, and the Ford Foundation, sought to provide a fuller picture of media-related grantmaking by U.S. foundations. Tracking investments from 2009 to 2011, the data reveals that foundations are increasingly supporting media-related work across multiple areas. At the same time, they are tapping into larger trends, with investments in new media growing at a faster pace than traditional media investments. However, growth in grantmaking across the spectrum of media is inconsistent -- with growth in public broadcasting falling behind growth in investments in other areas.As demand for media funding continues to rise, these gaps are the most important ones to watch -- especially considering the 2011 Federal Communications Commission report, "The Information Needs of Communities", which called for philanthropy to play a bigger role in supporting media. Since this is a baseline assessment, it will be crucial to see how media grantmaking evolves

Relationship of Acute Phase Reactants and Fat Accumulation during Treatment for Tuberculosis

Background. Tuberculosis causes inflammation and muscle wasting. We investigated how attenuation of inflammation relates to repletion of body composition during treatment in an underserved population. Design. Twenty-four patients (23 to 79 years old) with pulmonary tuberculosis and inflammation (pretreatment albumin = 2.96 ± 0.13 g/dL, C-reactive protein [CRP] = 6.71 ± 1.34 μg/dL, and beta-2-microglobulin = 1.68 ± 0.10 μg/L) were evaluated and had BIA over 24 weeks. Results. Weight increased by 3.02 ± 0.81 kg (5.5%; P = 0.007) at week 4 and by 8.59 ± 0.97 kg (15.6%; P < 0.0001) at week 24. Repletion of body mass was primarily fat, which increased by 2.09 ± 0.52 kg at week 4 and 5.05 ± 0.56 kg at week 24 (P = 0.004 and P < 0.0001 versus baseline). Fat-free mass (FFM), body cell mass (BCM), and phase angle did not increase until study week 8. Albumin rose to 3.65 ± 0.14 g/dL by week 4 (P < 0.001) and slowly increased thereafter. CRP levels declined by ∼50% at each interval visit. Conclusions. During the initial treatment, acute phase reactants returned towards normal. The predominant accrual of fat mass probably reflects ongoing, low levels of inflammation

Inteligencia emocional y estrés académico en estudiantes de una universidad de Lima, 2021

La presente investigación tuvo como propósito principal determinar la relación entre inteligencia emocional y estrés académico, mediante diseño no experimental con corte transeccional y alcance correlacional, participando 103 estudiantes universitarios, a los cuales se les administró la escala breve de inteligencia emocional validada por Domínguez-Lara et al. (2014) y el inventario SISCO de estrés académico validado por Albán (2018), encontrando como resultado que existe relación inversa significativa entre inteligencia emocional y estrés académico (r = .865), además, se identificó relación inversa significativa entre estrés académico y las dimensiones de inteligencia emocional: intrapersonal (r = -.871), interpersonal (r = -.954), adaptabilidad (r = -.788), manejo de estrés (r = -.899) y ánimo general (r = - .951). Se concluye que, a mayor inteligencia emocional, menor estrés académico y viceversa

La NIC 12 en su tratamiento contable tributario de la Empresa Compáñía Peruana de Paleles SAC ejercicio 2014

Resumiendo el presente trabajo de investigación cuyo tema es “La NIC 12 en su tratamiento contable tributario de la empresa Compañía Peruana de Papeles SAC ejercicio 2014” La siguiente investigación lograra identificar el significado de la NIC 12 en relación a la tributación de la Empresa Compañía Peruana de Papeles S.A.C. por qué es importante para la tributación conocer lo que dice la NIC 12 respecto a considerar al cálculo de la Renta en nuestro EEFF, ya que en anteriores periodos no consideraban correctamente la aplicación de la NIC 12 ocasionando faltas tributarias. Para ello debemos interpretar las diferencias permanentes y temporales, activo diferido o pasivo diferido y las pérdidas acumuladas. Hemos empleado el diseño de investigación descriptiva – correlacional el cual analizamos la variable y su amplitud relacionada, con una población de 5 individuos de los cual conforma la muestra, el instrumento de recolección de datos es el cuestionario. Como resultado concluimos que el conocimiento de la NIC 12 en los EEFF y contabilidad en general, nos abrió los ojos para identificar el significado de la NIC 12 como también saber interpretar las diferencias temporales y permanentes, activo diferido y pasivo diferido y también las pérdidas acumuladas, porque el instrumento ayudó mucho para determinar el grado de conocimiento que tenían las personas contables con respecto a NIC 12 y quedo representada en la realización de sus EEFF

Use of Consultants by U.S. Foundations: Results of a Foundation Center Survey

This article presents the results of a survey launched in January 2014 by Foundation Center, in collaboration with the National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers, examining use of consultants by community, corporate, and independent foundations whose annual giving totals at least $100,000. The survey asked funders to report whether they used consultants in the past two years and, if so, how frequently and for what purposes; they were also asked to report their level of satisfaction with consultants’ work. Funders that did not engage consultants in the last two years were asked why not. The survey also sought open-ended responses about working with consultants. The survey found widespread use of consultants among foundations. While the results of this study tend to emphasize the benefits – taking advantage of external expertise, allowing staff to stay focused on what they do best, bringing fresh or neutral perspectives to the work – respondents were also clear that working with consultants has its challenges

How Service Dogs Enhance Veterans’ Occupational Performance in the Home: A Qualitative Perspective

Background: This qualitative study explored the lives of veterans diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI) and how the partnerships with their service dogs supported improved occupational performance in their homes. Method: Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with six veterans with PTSD and/or TBI who graduated and received their service dogs from the Paws and Stripes Program in Albuquerque, NM. Home activities of daily living (self-care, household tasks, leisure activities, and family and friend relationships) guided the interview questions. The individual interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded using qualitative data analysis software. Preliminary themes were independently developed by two graduate research assistants. Final themes and subthemes were generated by team consensus. Results: The overarching theme was veteran and service dog partnerships improved occupational performance in the home. Four primary themes arose that supported the overarching theme: (a) providing physical safety and peace of mind; (b) supporting healthy behaviors; (c) my service dog, my hero; and (d) influencing family and friend relationships. Discussion: Findings from this study support that veteran and service dog partnerships improved the veterans’ occupational performance in their homes. The service dogs assisted the veterans on physical and emotional levels and improved their healthy behaviors
