June 13, 1901.Dear Mr. Muir,We have received the Sequoia article and also the corrected and numbered articles for the book.We take for granted from the numbering that the Sequoia article is to form chapter nine of the book. Mr. Parker, who has conducted most of the correspondence with you in regard to the book is in Chicago this week, but he will send you a line immediately upon his return.Thanking you for the Atlantic paper, which we shall endeavor to use as soon as possible, we areVery cordially yours,[illegible]Mr. John Muir.[02863

Exploring Resilience Models in a Sample of Combat-Exposed Military Service Members and Veterans: A Comparison and Commentary

Background: The term resilience is applied in numerous ways in the mental health field, leading to different perspectives of what constitutes a resilient response and disparate findings regarding its prevalence following trauma. Objective: illustrate the impact of various definitions on our understanding and prevalence of resilience, we compared various resilience definitions (absence of PTSD, absence of current mental health diagnosis, absence of generalized psychological distress, and an alternative trauma load–resilience discrepancy model of the difference between actual and predicted distress given lifetime trauma exposure) within a combat-exposed military personnel and veteran sample. Method: In this combat-trauma exposed sample (N = 849), of which approximately half were treatment seeking, rates of resilience were determined across all models, the kappa statistic was used to determine the concordance and strength of association across models, and t-tests examined the models in relation to a self-reported resilience measure. Results: Prevalence rates were 43.7%, 30.7%, 87.4%, and 50.1% in each of the four models. Concordance analyses identified 25.7% (n = 218) considered resilient by all four models (kappa = .40, p \u3c .001). Correlations between models and self-reported resilience were strong, but did not fully overlap. Conclusions:The discussion highlights theoretical considerations regarding the impact of various definitions and methodologies on resilience classifications, links current findings to a systems-based perspective, and ends with suggestions for future research approaches on resilience

Big “G” and Small “G”: The Variable Geometries of Educational Governance in an Era of Big Data

With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and the intelligent economy, this conceptual chapter explores the evolution of educational governance from one based on governing by numbers and evidence-based governance to one constituted around governance by data or data-based educational governance. With the rise of markets and networks in education, Big Data, machine data, high-dimension data, open data, and dark data have consequences for the governance of national educational systems. In doing so, it draws attention to the rise of the algorithmization and computerization of educational policy-making. The author uses the concept of “blitzscaling”, aided by the conceptual framing of assemblage theory, to suggest that we are witnessing the rise of a fragmented model of educational governance. I call this governance with a “big G” and governance with a “small g.” In short, I suggest that while globalization has led to the deterritorializing of the national state, data educational governance, an assemblage, is bringing about the reterritorialization of things as new material projects are being reconstituted

Developing Research Solutions to Address Complex Environmental Challenges

The researchers hope that this environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach will result in requiring significantly less land to meet regulatory stormwater standards. Researcher, Paul Imhoff, presented a poster on the topic to congressional staff at the Chesapeake Bay Day on Capitol Hill, March 2016, and gave an oral presentation in July to the US EPA Region 3 in Philadelphia

Far better to serve in heaven than to reign in hell : the logic of incorporation in the European communities by a very small developing country : Malta, a case study

In spite of the rhetoric of viability and endogenously led growth and development, small states are generally resigned to a status of dependency, surviving as rentier economies and remi ttance societies. Most appear determined today that their best (and only?) bet is for even better integration within the world economic order. They may have decolonised but they have no intention to disengage. To do so effectively, they often seek to establish a life-line to richer countries. Nevertheless, lip service to self-directed development, and a sound policy of economic management to that effect, is an important exercise: It generates and guarantees the establishment and preservation of sufficiently intimate relations with prosperous and benevolent sponsors. This paper explores the changing fortunes of Malta's experience in development planning (1959-1988) from this perspective. It appraises the economic success story of the resource poor island state, independent from Britain since 1964, while chasing the elusive phantom of viability and self-reliance. The latter has persisted stubbornly on the distant horizon; but the public relations exercise in this chase has been profitable in securing transfers and investments from abroad, perhaps turning topsy turvy the notion of unequal exchange from periphery to core. Membership into the European Communities (EC) may yet consolidate Malta's position as a "pampered periphery" ...peer-reviewe
