Pracharumjai Foundation

The problem of a shortage of volunteers for the Pracharumjai foundation, a public charitable organization, has been a persistent issue since the expansion of the foundation's offices in 1989 and the restructuring of the organization, which resulted in an increased workload for existing volunteers. This signifies a growing demand for volunteers. However, the human resource management process, especially job analysis and design, of the foundation has been deficient, leading to insufficient volunteer engagement with the work. The foundation attempted to address this problem by supporting cross-training to enable volunteers to work interchangeably. However, this approach has become a more complex issue, as it has led to an increased workload for volunteers and reduced commitment to the main tasks of volunteering, consequently affecting the efficiency of the foundation. This research will present the human resource management process of the foundation so far in order to discuss suitable strategies within the public charitable organizational context.

APA Foundation partners with nonprofit Athletes for Hope

The American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APA Foundation) last month announced a new strategic partnership with Athletes for Hope (AFH), a leading U.S. sports nonprofit that educates, encourages and empowers profes‐sional, Olympic, Paralympic and college athletes to find their charitable passions and use their platforms to positively impact their communities, a news release stated. The partnership shines a light on the varied demands of professional and amateur athletic life and how these demands, when left unchecked, can contribute to poor mental health outcomes among athletes in the U.S. and beyond, APA Foundation officials stated. Founded in 2006 by legendary athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Mia Hamm and Andre Agassi, AFH has grown to become the largest U.S. sports nonprofit, with more than 12,000 athletes who volunteer in programs that focus on improving physical and mental health out‐comes in underserved communities. Although many assume that athletes do not struggle with their mental health, the opposite is true. More than one out of every three elite athletes experience mental health challenges and are at an elevated risk of developing life‐threatening mental health conditions. The APA Foundation and AFH have partnered to improve outcomes through social me‐dia campaigns, virtual and in‐person panel webinars, and a new National Mental Health Advocacy Bill of Rights. The bill of rights will detail best practices for supporting athlete mental wellness and provide a roadmap for equal access to mental health resources at all levels of sport. Recently, many Olympic athletes, like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka, have spoken out about the difficulty of maintaining mental wellness under extreme pressure, and the bill of rights will open this conversation to include the collegiate and amateur athletic communities.

The Chambers for the Aghas of Dârüssaâde and Enderun at the New Palace in Edirne

Osmanlı hanedan üyelerinin yaşadığı saray; Harem, Enderun ve Bîrun olmak üzere üç ayrı teşkilât ile yönetilmekteydi. Sarayın harem bölümünün başında bulunan dârüssaâde ağası aynı zamanda; bütün harem ağalarının, Sarây-ı Cedîd ve Sarây-ı Atîk teberdarları ve kozbekçilerinin, Haremeyn-i şerîfeyn görevlilerinin, selâtin ve vüzerâ evkafı ile dârüssaâde ağaları ve mensupları evkafı görevlilerinin amiriydi. Sarayın bir diğer teşkilatı olan Enderun teşkilatı ise derece ve hizmet itibariyle; büyük ve küçük odalar; doğancı koğuşu; seferli koğuşu, kiler odası, hazine odası ve has oda olmak üzere farklı odalardan müteşekkildi. Bu çalışma, sarayın harem ve Enderun teşkilâtına mensup ağalarının Edirne Yeni Saray’daki yaşam alanlarının tasvirini, R. Osman’ın Edirne Sarayı üzerine yapmış olduğu eseri, Saray’da 1217 Zilhicce (H.)/20 Nisan 1803 (M.) tarihinde yapılan keşif sırasında çizilmiş olan plan ve 1171 (H.) /1757-58 (M.) yılında ağalara ait yaşam alanlarında yapılan tamirata ilişkin tutulan kayıtlara dayanarak yapmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışma Osmanlı Saray mimarisi araştırmalarına katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Adı geçen ağaların yaşam alanlarının tasvirini yapmanın en önemli zorluğu Edirne’deki Saray’ın günümüze ulaşmamış olmasıdır. Böyle bir durum fiziki bir gözlem yapmayı olanaksız kılmaktadır. Ancak farklı dönemlerde yapılan veya yapılması planlanan tamiratlara ilişkin tutulan kayıtlar bu zorluğu aşma bakımından oldukça fazla bilgi ihtiva etmektedir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma ele aldığı kayıtlar ile yeni mekânların varlığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte bu konuda yapılacak olan çalışmalara da katkı sağlamaktadır.

Exploring the Mentoring Needs of Early- and Mid-Career URM Engineering Faculty: A Phenomenological Study

While mentoring has been identified as a valuable resource in recruiting and retaining underrepresented minority (URM) faculty, little research has examined the difference in mentoring needs of early- and mid-career engineering URM faculty members. As these needs can change as they navigate academia and the tenure process, mentors can effectively provide guidance and support only when they have been identified. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to determine the mentoring needs and activities of early- and mid-career URM engineering faculty who participated in the IMPACT mentoring program and how their needs were met (Moustakas, 1994). The IMPACT program and the associated research were supported by a National Science Foundation Office for Broadening Participation in Engineering award (15-42728 and 15-42524). The Ideal Mentoring Model for URM Faculty served as the theoretical framework and the study included interviews with 11 early- to mid-career faculty who provided an in-depth understanding of the participants’ needs and activities. Findings indicate all faculty members seek career development support in navigating the engineering promotion and tenure process. However, mid-career faculty display greater interest in receiving sponsorship and coaching from their mentors, as well as an awareness of the importance of having a network of mentors.

International Grant-Making in Times of Political Unrest: the Case of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Interwar Germany

In the past two decades, the embeddedness of potential grantees in complex local webs of both political and welfare relationships challenged the work of international grant-makers, particularly in the context of the war on terrorism. These concerns are no novelty as organized philanthropy has historically worked in countries with undefined political constellations where recipient organizations pursue a wide range of goals. The relationship between the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) and its local representatives in interwar Germany serves here as a historical case study to better understand the political realities influencing foundations’ selection of local partners. This case shows that the radical pacifist stand of CEIP’s German representatives soon became an obstacle to the work of foundation officers, who consequently sought the collaboration of more pragmatic and politically connected voices. Overall, the study underscores the power dynamics at the center of philanthropic relationships and the different degree of autonomy of advisors, representatives, and grantees in these relationships.

Emeriti faculty as mentors: the benefits and rewards of mentoring the next generation

ABSTRACTThis holistic single-case study reports on the benefits mentors derived from participating in the Increasing Minority Presence within Academia through Continuous Training (IMPACT) mentoring program. The IMPACT program was sponsored by the National Science Foundation Office for Broadening Participation in Engineering 15–7680 (awards #1542728 and #1542524). In this program, emeriti faculty were matched with underrepresented minority faculty in the engineering professoriate for career-focused mentorship. The conceptual framework of the Benefits of Being a Mentor grounded this study. Findings indicate mentors appreciate the opportunity to give back and remain engaged in the field, to relive past academic career experiences, and to support the next generation of engineering professors while adjusting to retirement. These findings aligned with the conceptual framework on three factors: rewarding experience, improved job performance, and generativity. Implications for administrators and faculty, as well as additional research areas, are discussed.

Therefore, schools have made efforts to minimize these barriers.

Calling All State Chapters

When I call, state chapter leaders wonder if they really want to answer their phones. “Yes, it’s Mary Evans calling, asking that you please do your utmost to join me in not only evangelizing about the Foundation for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine’s Futures Program, but also that you raise money and send a check.” They usually answer, I think, because our chapter leaders understand that we are all working to recruit the next generation of medical directors and that Futures is a gateway to achieving that. Some forthrightly say, “Yes, Mary, I am doing this because I would like to see more facilities have qualified directors — and, truth be told, I’d like to retire someday, and I want to have a successor who is skilled and also shares our values.” Since 2001, the Foundation has funded the attendance of over 1,000 practitioners to the Futures Program — 67 enthusiastic practitioners joined us in 2018 alone. Being a medical director is among the most satisfying and challenging positions in medicine today. And the range of required knowledge keeps expanding as the demographics and both the post-acute and long-term care aspects of facilities change. Hence, the purpose of this column: If you are a member of a state chapter of AMDA — The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, please contribute to your chapter’s efforts to fund one or more Futures candidates. If you are a chapter leader, please budget for Futures — and send a check ASAP. FUTURES IS NOT A FRILL! It’s a strategic imperative! Prospects for our work in PA/LTC rest on the shoulders of those who succeed us. We need more capable, well-trained, enthusiastic, and dedicated talent to provide informed care for the millions of patients who are knocking at our doors. And we need them to become leaders in our fight for quality, specialized care. Financially, it’s quite simple. Based on the needs of the individual, we provide free training and transportation costs. A single sponsorship is $3,000, and we also offer two spots for $5,000. How about sending four to six trainees? In the last few years, we have also had practices funding their own trainees so that physicians are ready to step in when the contributors retire. This is really an act of leadership, caring, and great philanthropy. Instead of waiting for my call, I’d like to ask each member of the Society to contribute to Futures, to contribute to their chapter initiatives for Futures, or to consider sponsoring their own trainee. You can also e-mail me at [email protected], contact Chris Ewing at the Foundation office at [email protected] or (410) 992-3134, or donate online at http://paltcfoundation.org/index.php/support-us/online-donations. Dr. Evans is chair of the Foundation for PA/LTC Medicine’s State Chapter Campaign.

Innovative approaches reaching underserved and rural communities to improve epilepsy care: A review of the methodology of the Connectors Project

ObjectiveThe Connectors Project, a collaboration between the Epilepsy Foundation and UCB Pharma, was a multiyear project designed to improve epilepsy care in underserved communities. A core objective of the Connectors Project was to pilot new and innovative approaches to epilepsy awareness and education in rural and underserved areas, including standardized curricula for healthcare providers and patients. MethodsA series of consensus conferences explored opportunities and barriers to epilepsy care throughout the United States including access to local Epilepsy Foundations, neurologists, and epilepsy centers. Data from QuintilesIMS™ were examined for access to newer antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)—a proxy for quality of epilepsy care—in different regions. State factors (e.g., local epilepsy foundation office, access to newer vs. older AEDs, and geographic density and diversity) were used in selecting four states as examples of rural and underserved areas to pilot the awareness and educational programs. For each state, a work team assessed challenges and opportunities, tailored educational curricula, and developed strategies for effective delivery of the educational programs. Interventions were held between June 2016 and June 2017. Interventions consisted of outreach and awareness programs, in-person health education to healthcare providers and patients/families, and digital health education. ResultsMichigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, and West Virginia were identified as pilot states representing geographically diverse areas, ranging from a state with a large high-density population center with several epilepsy centers and a local Epilepsy Foundation office (Michigan) to a state with predominately rural areas and a few small urban cores, two epilepsy centers, and no in-state Epilepsy Foundation office (West Virginia). State work teams tailored interventions and examined options for type, intent, ease of use, and impact. All states implemented outreach and awareness initiatives and in-person health education for patients and healthcare providers; use of digital health education was variable. Measurement of the interventions was agreed to be performed by the use of patient and physician surveys and reevaluation of data from QuintilesIMS for access to newer AEDs. ConclusionLocal Epilepsy Foundation offices successfully connected healthcare providers in rural and underserved areas to epilepsy education designed to enhance quality care in epilepsy. Educational opportunities for people with epilepsy and their families addressed critical gaps in accessing quality epilepsy care and self-management. Tailored and innovative educational approaches can be used to increase awareness levels and to overcome geographic challenges in reaching underserved populations. Relationship building and repeated, consistent engagement with healthcare providers and patients can assist in improving communication and self-management skills among patients with epilepsy.
