Mortola, this document details the relationship between Dr. Mortola and Pace from 1947 to 1990. Dr. Mortola’s early years as Assistant Dean, Dean, Provost and Vice President are discussed and the dramatic expansion of Pace during his Presidency is highlighted. The opening of the Pleasantville campus, the founding of the School of Education, the Lienhard School of Nursing and the Law School are noted, along with the addition of innovative graduate programs and the attainment of University status. Dr. Mortola’s vision of Pace is analyzed within the context of his era and reference is made to the current Strategic Agenda

The transformation of the Union for the Mediterranean into an Energy Community

This article focuses on the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), which celebrated ten years of life last year. The article examines whether the UfM may evolve into an Energy Community in order to keep together its member states when developing projects in the energy sector, in which they don’t have the same interests. To what extent can the UfM become a driver for peace, stability and prosperity in the region of the energy-rich Eastern Mediterranean? The article examines the multilateral and bilateral frameworks of cooperation in the Mediterranean basin. What is the institutional missing link that may unite these frameworks into a solid work platform? The Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum is a recent Egyptian initiative, developed outside the multilateral framework of the UfM. This initiative questions the relevance of the multilateral institutions and the bilateral relations developed between the Mediterranean coastal countries.

The Effect of Hand Paddle and Push Up Exercises to Increase Swimming Speed in Children Aged 11-12 Years

This study aims to determine how influential the use of Hand Paddle media and Push Up Exercises are to increase freestyle swimming speed in children aged 11-12 years. This study used Quantitative research methods and Experimental research types, Freestyle swimming test using one-group pre-test post-test design for 10 treatments, This study was as many as 20 students from extracurricular swimming at SDN Pasir benteng 2 with Purposive Sampling sampling technique, The results of descriptive analysis showed a significant decrease in swimming time for both groups. The average swimming time of the Hand Paddle group decreased from 35.66 seconds in the Pre Test to 29.82 seconds in the Post Test, while the Push Up group decreased from 37.41 seconds to 35.35 seconds, These findings suggest that both interventions have been successful in increasing swimming speed.

The Founding of ISOTT: The Shamattawa of Engineering Science and Medical Science

Abstract This paper expands upon past writings and reflects the truism stated by Confucius, "Study the past if you would define the future." The founding of ISOTT was based upon the blending of Medical and Engineering sciences. Beginning with Carl Scheele's discovery of oxygen, the medical sciences advanced the knowledge of its importance to physiological phenomena. Meanwhile, engineering science was evolving as a mathematical discipline used to define systems quantitatively from basic principles. In particular, Adolf Fick's employment of a gradient led to the formalization of transport phenomena. These two rivers of knowledge were blended to found ISOTT at Clemson/Charleston in 1973. The future will be determined

The Library as Safe Space

Purpose: This chapter will explain how libraries define safe space through policies, procedures, and professional codes of ethics. The chapter will generate a history of the concept of libraries as safe space, will explain how libraries attempt to create safe spaces in physical and online environments, and will show how library practices both help and harm patrons in need of safe space. Design/methodology/approach: This chapter provides a review of the literature that illustrates how libraries provide safe space—or not—for their patrons. The author will deconstruct the ALA Code of Ethics and Bill of Rights to demonstrate how libraries remain heteronormative institutions that do not recognize the existence of diverse patrons or employees, and how this phenomenon manifests in libraries. Findings: Libraries, either through their physical construction or through policies and procedures, have become spaces for illegal activities and discrimination. Populations who would be most likely to use libraries often report barriers to access. Practical Implications: Libraries should revisit their policies and procedures, as well as assess their physical and online spaces, to determine whether or not they truly provide safe space for their patrons. While libraries can become safer spaces, they should clearly communicate what types of safety they actually provide. Originality/value: This chapter offers a critique of libraries as safe spaces, which will challenge popular opinions of libraries, and compel the profession to improve

The Forth Naturalist and Historian Journal

The Journal was launched in 1975 after the 1974 British Association Meeting at Stirling in order to provide a medium for papers and information relevant to naturalist and historical interests of the Forth / mid Scotland area - i.e. that encompassed by the Stirling, Falkirk, and Clackmannanshire authorities. It complements and succeeds the Transactions of the Stirling Field and Archaeological Society published from 1878 to 1939
