Impact of Global Health Scholarship Programs in the Faculty of Medicine at Mbarara University of Science and Technology

In recognition of the critical role of residency programs in narrowing healthcare inequalities, Global Health scholarships were introduced at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in 2011. Since then, at least 154 postgraduate students in priority programs have benefited. We conducted an online cross-sectional survey to examine how the scholarships and beneficiaries have impacted MUST and the community. Fifty (50) beneficiaries, representing 32.5%, responded, of whom 36 (72%) were alumni. Most respondents were males (n = 30; 60%) pursing Master of Medicine (n = 29; 58%) or Master of Nursing Science (n = 20; 40%) programs. The scholarship schemes included First Mile (n = 29; 58%), Kayanja (n = 12; 24%), Paiko (n = 5; 10%) and Seed (n = 4; 8%). The majority of the scholarships supported both tuition and research fees (n = 41; 82%), the rest being partial. Career advancement was undertaken by eight (16%) of the scholars in the form of fellowships (n = 3; 6%), other masters (n = 3; 6%) and PhDs (n = 3; 6%), with some students having attained a combination of these. All scholars belonged to at least one health professional association. Over 88% (n = 32) of the alumni and 28% (n = 4) of the students were employed. The majority of those employed were in the public sector (n = 24; 66.7%), mainly the health sector (n = 18; 50%), academia (n = 14; 38.9) or both (n = 4; 11.1%). There was a high impact on health care provision, undergraduate training and research carried out by the scholars both during training and post-graduation. High levels of career satisfaction, scholarship impact and academic program relevance were reported. The findings provide insights on how low-fund specialty scholarships can have a far-reaching impact on local training, health care and research in low- and middle-income countries.

Not Forbidden but a Fellowship “Food”

This article highlights a dynamic encounter between Christians and the local religion in Sumba, Indonesia. The encounter raises the question of identity among Christians. Identity as a Sumbanese on the one hand and as a Christian on the other collides when dealing with the tradition of eating together. Before the arrival of Christianity, the tradition of sharing meat and eating together among the Sumbanese in a traditional ceremony was a form of fellowship. Animal meat that has been used as a ritual medium for ancestral spirits is then distributed to the family members. The meat was cooked and eaten together to strengthen the brotherhood/sisterhood among them. After the church’s arrival, Christians had to stay away from tribal religious traditions. With thorough investigations of cultural texts and exegesis from the biblical source of 1 Corinthians 10:23- 11:1, I argue that eating together between Christians and their tribal relatives is a theological act reflecting a Christ-imitating attitude of faith.

Keberagamaan Napi di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Perempuan Kelas II A Kota Bandung

This study discusses the religious behavior of female prisoners in the Class IIA Women's Penitentiary in Bandung City. Through qualitative methods with data collection by observation and interviews, this research answers how the religious behavior of female prisoners when in prison. This religious behavior is seen in three aspects: the form of thought, the form of action, and the form of fellowship. This study found that prisoners believe that their presence in prison is the right place to cleanse themselves with religious messages. In religious behavior, the prisoners think fully believe in each God, scriptures, prophets, angels, and their religious doctrines, especially Islam and Christianity. In the form of actions, the coaching program provided by prisons is quite effective in increasing religious behavior through ‘shalihah’ pesantren activities, iqra classes, tausiyah, and worship services. The program is beneficial for prisoners in forming a more responsible character. Finally, religious behavior in fellowship is a complementary form of religious forms of thought and action. Through this form of fellowship, inmates are more stable when socializing with fellow inmates and prison officers.

Road Map for the Journal and Achieving New Horizon in Coming Years

Any published article is the proof of the clinician’s academic growth and success of his career. Academic journal is usually considered the face of any representative body or organization. It also reflects the research activities carried out by its members and indirectly indicates how much its people are inclined to spreading and sharing their knowledge amongst others. Spine Association of Gujarat (SAG) is an esteemed organisation representing all the surgeons from Orthopaedic surgery and Neurosurgical specialty performing and involving in spine related treatment in their day-to-day practise. The purpose of bringing this journal is to make the face of our organisation shining like a star in the academic world. We want other parts of the world should know that our members are doing the best job in spine surgery, which is at par with the all advances in spine treatment. For this to achieve, we must stand and work together. With the introduction of this scientific peer reviewed journal, we would like to invite articles from any part of the world and from any specialty, which is related to the spine care and related to the spine surgery. It is also a benchmark of SAG to exchange the knowledge in spine and spine related management amongst the members. It also facilitates knowledge and research exchange with the rest of the world. Let us think what SAG has achieved over the past years since its inception. SAG is currently involved in many scientific activities such as, regularly arranging one day conferences (one in three months), monthly medical forum to promote second line specialists, organising national conferences (by so far two ASSICON and one MISSICON) and also teaching newer surgeons (through individual capacity of the member) in form of fellowships. However, we still lack in publication and research activities. Our journal will provide a platform for its members to achieve their name scientifically recognised across the world. The journal will be initially launch

Analog Computing: The Morphogenesis of Structures as a Form of Fellowship with Non-Human Actors in Design Methods

This article proposes a conceptual framework and outlines a methodological application to explore the relationship between the designer and a designed object. For this purpose, it uses the design experience of a lightweight structure in the context of an architecture festival. In the first place, the currents of contemporary thought that bring the non-human closer to the making of design decisions are recognized in order to subsequently identify a framework from which to read the material as something endowed with agency and provided with its own vitality. In order to present a methodology capable of taking charge of this approach, the text redefines the concepts of ‘morphogenesis’ and ‘autopoiesis’ so that they become useful for architecture design. The proposed method arises from the tensions and resonances between the theory and the application in the practical case described herein, and is conceptualized under the term analog computing.

Going “wicked & away”: Writing Dream Songs in the Age of Fellowships

John Berryman’s poetry volume 77 Dream Songs (1964) depicts its own composition as a vocational act of protest against the circumstances that force poets to teach in universities to earn a living. In Berryman’s poems, this vocational crisis inspires a crisis of form; repetition, previously a central constituent of poetry, now evokes the specter of boring work-time. To realize one’s creative potential, Berryman insists throughout his Songs that a poet needs “whole time,” free from the nine-to-five grind. In this era of expanding higher education, whole time comes in the form of fellowships, as private foundations offer the time and money to save poets from the classroom. Indeed, Berryman’s second volume of Dream Songs regard their composition as a creative process enabled by a Guggenheim fellowship. However, this poetry also provides an ironic image of contemporary academic labor, where the dream of work as self-fulfillment parallels the nightmare of self-exploitation.

The Relationship Between Substance User Treatment and 12-Step Fellowships: Current Knowledge and Research Questions

This article reviews and synthesizes information about the relationship between two distinct approaches to helping substance users, formal “addiction treatment” and 12-step mutual aid. The following issues are addressed: Extent of formal treatment and 12-step fellowship participation for persons with substance use-related problems; overlap between treatment and 12-step participation; early attempts to “integrate” treatment and 12-step mutual aid; differences and similarities between the 12-step program and treatment; issues of spirituality in the 12-step program; effectiveness of 12-step participation as treatment aftercare; and whether help-seekers can be “matched” to 12-step. The article poses pertinent questions that could answered by additional research, including life cycle patterns of usage of treatment and 12-step, outcomes of such episodes, reasons for using different interventions at different times, feasibility of 12-step participation as a primary intervention, the relative contributions of striving for spiritual values vs. social support factors to the effectiveness of 12-step, and the comparative effectiveness of secular vs. 12-step mutual aid. The article concludes with a proposed reconceptualization of the relationship between formal treatment and 12-step mutual aid that may help in structuring future research.In the rarer sort … inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender. George Eliot (1876)

Editor's Comment

Editor's Comment The essays published in this number of SAF were submitted in response to our announcement of a special issue on "New Approaches to American Fiction." We have chosen the best of the articles submitted even though this qualitative selection did not allow us to cover all of the currently prominent "new" approaches. We trust that the essays published will be of interest to our readers for what they have to say about specific writers and works and for what they suggest more generally about the applications of recent critical theories to American fiction. Although this special number represents our current emphasis on innovative interpretive strategies, we welcome the submission of articles and notes that utilize "new approaches" as they emerge in the future. + * · Northeastern University, in cooperation with the Hemingway Society and the John F.

Davis, Director of the Afro-American Studies Program at Yale and a member of our board of Advisory Editors. I studied American poetry and Afro-American Literature with him when I was a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, and I came to know well the special feelings of respect and affection he engendered in students and colleagues alike. Later, when he had assumed his position at Yale, our relationship continued through activities surrounding SAF and through our mutual interest in Richard Wright. Charles Davis was a gifted and inspiring teacher, a pioneer scholar of Black Studies, a brilliant reader of dialect poetry, and, perhaps above all, a gentleman. There is no replacing him. We grieve at his loss, and we send our most heartfelt sympathies to his family. J.N. ...

Ecumenical Survey

When these lines appear in print the third session of Vatican II will be in full swing and some crucial declarations of the Church's mind, which must have a vital bearing on the problems of Christian unity, will be in the making. Not least in importance among these is the revised Schema de Oecumenismo. It will perhaps be useful to examine the attitude of the World Council of Churches to what is happening in the view of representatives well qualified to speak for it.This attitude may, I think, be summed up by saying that while there is generous recognition of progress there is also considerable doubt among a number of responsible non-Catholic ecumenists whether, in view of its well known presuppositions, the Catholic Church can, as such, engage in ecumenical dialogue on the terms now common to all the member-Churches of the World Council of Churches, including the Eastern Orthodox. This doubt is fairly widespread. It is expressed, for instance, by Dr Lukas Vischer, one of the World Council observers at the Vatican Council. Speaking during the Unity Octave in Zurich in 1964, just after Pope Paul's pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he said: The non-Roman Catholic Churches do not question the fact that the Roman Catholic Church must claim to be the one and only Church. But if a permanent conversation is to be established between the divided Churches, then a form of fellowship must be found which does not compel the non-Roman Catholic Churches to accept the Roman Catholic concept of unity and of union.

South African Association for the Advancement of Science

THE South African Association for the Advancement of Science held its annual meeting at Paarl on July 1-6. On July 1, Prof. M. M. Rindl, professor of chemistry in Grey University College, Bloemfontein, president of the Association, delivered an address entitled “A Plea for the Establishment of a National Research Council and for the Limitation of a National Research Policy in South Africa”. Replying to criticisms of the Association and its policy, Prof.Rindl said that provision of funds for fostering research in the form of fellowships, scholarships and research grants in South Africa is not ungenerous. Much of this is directly attributable to the persistent agitation of the Association. In its early days, the Association and the Royal Society of South Africa were the only bodies providing research grants from their own funds. Furthermore, the annual award of the South Africa Medal and Grant to a prominent research worker in South Africa has done much to stimulate competition among investigators. As a result of the Association's action, a national committee of intellectual co-operation has been appointed, and it is hoped that the outcome will be the establishment of a National Research Council, and the inauguration of a national research policy on lines similar to those adopted in Great Britain, the Dominions and in many industrialised countries oversea. Another activity of the Association has been to appoint a committee to collect authentic data of the early history of scientific endeavour and industrial achievement in South Africa. With this end in view, the committee is approaching pioneers of science and industry to place on record their reminiscences and the history of the development in the industries which they founded, or with which they have been associated.
