It is through such activities that our knowledge is increased and achieve- ments are made to further the well-being of the general public. The articles, books, published research reports, major recitals or other significant refereed creative achievements, research papers, extramural grants, and faculty/student collaborations produced by the faculty, academic staff, and students serve as indicators of the contributions that the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is making to the expansion of knowledge and the arts. UW-Eau Claire is pleased to acknowledge these achievements of its faculty, academic staff, and students. The 2003-2004 Report on Publications and Other Scholarly Achievements represents, of course, only a small fraction of the total efforts of our faculty, academic staff, and students in research and creative activities. Some of our efforts do not lead to information that can be disseminated in an externally published form. However, the level of effort recorded in this Report is one measure of the achievements of UW-Eau Claire. Of the activities catalogued in this Report, eight reasonably distinct categories can be identified: 1. Publications that expand disciplinary frontiers of knowledge; 2. Publications that transcend disciplinary boundaries by relationships with other disciplines; 3. Publications that provide practical applications for research-generated knowledge; 4. Publications that synthesize or reiterate research findings for newly identified audiences; 5. Published creative works; 6. Significant refereed activities that transmit a cultural/artistic heritage and/or expand or deepen the audience’s horizons; 7. Extramural grants that provide funding for research and sponsored programs; 8. Faculty/student collaborations that enrich the scholarly experience for all involved and result in a tangible product such as a paper, a poster, a presentation, a non-print media form, a musical composition, or a new chemical compound. A university is a collection of diverse groups of individuals representing numerous areas of expertise. It is through such diversity and interaction of disciplines that UW-Eau Claire gains its strength. This Report illustrates such diversity and interactions of our institution. Examples of the scholarly works cited in this Report can be found on display in a special case located on the west side of the entry corridor of McIntyre Library. 7 EXPLANATIONS, NOTES, AND COMMENTS Distribution of the 2003-2004 Report on Publications and Other Scholarly Achievements. All faculty and academic staff may view an electronic copy of the Report at www.uwec/ORSP/ publications.htm. A small number of extra copies has been printed and may be requested by calling 715/836-3405. Suggestions and comments for improving the Report should be sent to Assistant Vice Chancellor Christopher Lind. Inclusions and Exclusions. Faculty and academic staff members with joint appointments have been listed under the single unit they selected as their primary appointment for purposes of this Report. The departmental affiliation of faculty, academic staff, and students is also noted. The index in- cludes only those faculty and academic staff who were employees of UW-Eau Claire and students enrolled between May 2003 and April 2004. Students whose abstracts were accepted by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs for inclusion in the Twelfth Annual UW-Eau Claire Student Research Day on April 26-27, 2004 are also included in the Report. In addition to publications and creative achievements during the 2003-04 academic year, this Report includes items bearing publi- cation dates from May 2002 to April 2003 that were inadvertently omitted from the last report or actually published in 2004 (with an earlier date on the cover due to a journal being backlogged). The Report’s next issue will cover the period of May 2004 to April 2005. Every attempt has been made to be complete and accurate within the ground rules established for the Report. Members of the Editorial Advisory Board screened all entries as to their appropriateness for inclusion. Acknowledgments. The Editorial Board appreciates the hard work and cooperation of those who assisted with this publication: faculty and staff members who carefully and promptly completed their submission materials and Betty Feia in the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs who critically proofread the Report and further aided the work. 8 ADULT HEALTH NURSING ACADEMIC A FFAIRS-ADMINISTRATIVE www.merlot.org/artifact/ArtifactDetail.po?oid =1010000000000127450>.

  • Baker, David J 1878-1879, 1888-1897
    David J. Baker 1878-1879, 1888-1897 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library A member of a prominent southern Illinois family, David Jewett Baker was born in Kaskaskia on November 20, 1834, the third son of Connecticut native David Jewett Baker and Sarah Fairchild Baker. The couple had moved to Kaskaskia in 1819, where he served a long tenure as Probate Judge of Randolph County, “the equal of any contemporary lawyer at the Illinois Bar,” according to court historian James E. Babb.1 Strongly opposed to the introduction of slavery into the state, the elder Baker engaged in a physical confrontation with the pro-slavery Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Reynolds on a Kaskaskia street in 1824.2 According to a county historian, Baker sustained a bludgeon mark during the altercation that remained “to his dying day.”3 In late 1830, Governor Ninian Edwards named Baker to fill the unexpired term of deceased U.S. Senator John McLean. Returning to Illinois, Baker was United States District Attorney at the time of his son’s birth.4 Acquiring an early education at area schools, the younger Baker graduated with honors in 1854 from Shurtleff College in Alton, then studied law under his father’s tutelage. In 1855, his brother Edward L. Baker, also an attorney and publisher of the 2 Alton Daily Telegraph, purchased the Illinois State Journal, a Springfield newspaper strongly identified with the new Republican Party.5 David Baker, after admittance to the Illinois bar in 1856, began his practice in Alton.

  • Is the Archipelago a Political Tool?
    Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 17 (2016): 119-134 ISSN: 1896-9461 DOI: 10.12797/AdAmericam.17.2016.17.09 Magdalena Lisińska Institute of Political Science and International Relations, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland Is the Archipelago a Political Tool? The Role of the Falkland Islands Sovereignty Dispute in Argentine Policy During the Kirchner Era The dispute over sovereignty in the Falkland Islands (called Islas Malvinas in the Spanish- speaking world) between Argentina and Great Britain has lasted for nearly two hundred years. The archipelago has been a British territory since 1833, when the crew of HMS ‘Clio’ forcibly took over the islands, which had previously belonged to Argentina. The Argen- tine people have never accepted this loss and have since been trying to reclaim the terri- tory, with no further effect. The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of the Falkland Is- lands dispute in Argentine domestic and foreign policy during the presidencies of Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007) and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007-2015). The thesis of this paper is that the Falklands became a crucial factor in shaping Argentine policy during the Kirchner era, not only on the international level, but also within the country. Key words: Argentina, Falklands/Malvinas, Falkland’s War, Kirchner era, kirchnerism Introduction The dispute over the Falkland Islands, called Islas Malvinas in the Spanish-speaking world1, is often viewed as one of the most peculiar in the international arena. The British archipelago of the Falkland Islands, consisting of two main islands – East and West Falkland – and many smaller islands, is located about 300 nautical miles east of the coast of Argentina.

  • 'A Luminous Constellation Pointing the Way? the Connectivity of Rioplatense & US Union and State-Formation, 1815-1820.'
    1 ‘A Luminous Constellation Pointing the Way? The connectivity of Rioplatense & US union and state-formation, 1815-1820.’ David Meirion Jones, Masters by Research, The University of York, Department of History, September 2013. 2 Abstract 'A Luminous Constellation Pointing the Way?' aims to make sense of the connections between the United States and the River Plate between 1815-1820. Based on a connective and comparative approach, the thesis arrives at a different understanding of the United States in a hemispheric perspective. The picture that emerges is of the United States as a weak and vulnerable power struggling against the effects of its post-colonial inheritance. Both out of necessity, because of the United States' weakness, and out of hemispheric solidarity, US Americans sought out allies and enthusiastically embraced Spanish American independence. Rioplatense Americanos reciprocated in their enthusiasm for the United States, and sought to adapt information on the US Federal model to their own local circumstances. A sense of shared American identity and the similarity of North & South American post-colonial inheritances meant information shared between the hemisphere was particularly useful and readily susceptible to local adaptation. These similarities meant that policy solutions for maintaining independence from Buenos Aires to Baltimore had a shared base, but diverged according to each places own circumstances creating local responses to hemispheric problems. US legislators sought to retool their economy in order to realize an 'American System' that would increase the power of the Americas against Europe and integrate the US into Spanish America, an area US Americans considered more promising than their own country.

  • El Almirante David Jewett Y Sus Descendientes
    EL ALMIRANTE DAVID JEWETT Y SUS DESCENDIENTES https://malvinasnottingham.blogspot.com/2021/02/2021-el-almirante-david-jewett-y-sus.html#.YDLqnOgzZdg Eduardo C. GERDING Por tu coraje frente a las tribulaciones, por tu alegre disposición frente a los sucios ardides de este mundo, te has ganado el cariño de todos aquellos que te han estado observando. Guy Chapman (A Passionate Prodigality, 1933) Almirante David Jewett (1772-1842) David Joseph Jewett nació el 17 de junio de 1772 en North Parish, New London, Connecticut ( EE.UU. ) siendo su padre el Dr. Hibbard Jewett ( 1745-1814 ) y su madre Patience Bulkley ( 1749-1880 ). Descendía de Joseph Jewett, quien había emigrado de Yorkshire ( Inglaterra ) en 1638, y se había establecido en Rowley, Massachussetts ( EE.UU. ). Dos de sus hermanos Charles y George también sirvieron en la Armada de EE.UU. 1 La corbeta Trumbull El Trumbull fue botado en los astilleros de Jedediah Willer en Norwich entre las 10 y las 11 de la mañana del 26 de noviembre de 1799 bajo “ la aclamación de miles de espectadores” . Para el 19 de febrero de 1800, la corbeta Trumbull estaba totalmente tripulada siendo su comandante David Jewett de New London quien había recibido elogiosos comentarios de la prensa local. La corbeta Trumbull capturó a su primera presa, la goleta francesa Peggy de seis cañones con un cargamento de 35 toneladas de café, 70 barriles de azúcar y una tripulación de once hombres. El 6 de agosto de 1800 el Trumbull capturó a su segunda presa, una goleta pequeña llamada Tullie. El 23 de marzo de 1801 el Secretario de Marina le envió instrucciones al Capitán Jewett para que abonara los jornales y diera de baja a la tripulación del Trumbull.

  • Report of David Jewett Dated February 1 1821
    Report of Col. David Jewett, Commander of the privateer Heroina, to the Supreme Director of Buenos Aires February 1st, 1821 What follows is a transcription of the Report written by Colonel David Jewett to the Supreme Director at Buenos Aires in early 1821. Jewett was the commander of the Buenos Airean privateer, the Heroina, which had sailed the year before. 1 There are two important things that need to be recognised from this Report. Firstly that Jewett's privateer commission was to pursue Spanish vessels, not Portuguese ships as Buenos Aires was not at war with Portugal. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly for the modern era, is that Col. Jewett makes no mention of the claim he made for the Falkland Islands in November, 1820. At the time that Col. Jewett made the claim, on behalf of the United Provinces of South America, doubt was leveled as to the true nature of his intentions. After 1833, Buenos Aires would assert that Jewitt was acting on their Orders when he staked the claim for the United Provinces. No such Order has ever been produced, and it is surprising, had such an instruction of the Buenos Airean Government really existed, that Col. Jewett did not inform Buenos Aires of the completion of his Orders in this Report. Spelling errors have been left as they were found. Roger Lorton 2013 1 There are two common spellings of David Jewett's name. Jewitt is the spelling used by Fitzroy, Weddell and Greenhow and appears to accord with the signature on a letter to the Supreme Director of Buenos Aires in 1821.
