I would like to invite my three students to join me. I would first like to recognize Andrew Keaster from the College of Medicine. Andrew exemplifies the key attributes of a great professional student, with a notable emphasis on service to the community. During his undergraduate career at Missouri State University, Andrew served as a medical assistant for a semester at an HIV clinic in South Africa and volunteered over 200 hours annually to other organizations. Since joining the Ohio State family, Andrew has only furthered his commitment to service. He has been an HIV test counselor for the AID Resource Center of Ohio since his first year, while also serving as the vice president of the International Health Interest Group. In the summer after his first year, Andrew competed for and received funding for an R25 grant to work with the Qingdao Red Cross, providing health care at free clinics in rural Chinese townships. He was the Student Coordinator of the Asian Free clinic during his second year, the president of the LGBT and Allies student group, and also participated as a tutor in the newly formed Peer Education Resource Elective, a group that provides academic support for students, by students. During his second year, he also volunteered at the Somali Health Initiative in Education, also known as SHINE, and served as a student member of the Admissions Committee. During Andrew’s third year, he served as a class representative to the LCME (Liaison Committee on Medical Education) Student Report committee and chaired the Student Analysis Subcommittee. His peers have recognized his long service to the community by electing him to the Gold Humanism Honor Society. In 2012, Andrew received The Ohio State University Student Award for Excellence in Community Service. For his fourth year at Ohio State, Andrew participated in a week-long provision of medical care to the underserved in Honduras last December. He also spent the first two months of this year in southwest Kenya as a part of his international rotations. With his nomination of Andrew, Vice Dean for Education Daniel Clinchot said, “The achievement Andrew has shown in academics, coupled with the passion he has demonstrated for service to others, makes him an invaluable member of our profession and community. We are proud to count his among our members.” After graduation, Andrew will stay here at Ohio State to complete a residency in Internal Medicine, and plans to pursue a career in Primary Care. Congratulations, Andrew! 447 April 4, 2014 meeting, Board of Trustees As a buckeye for life, Ashley Weber completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at Ohio State and is currently pursuing a PhD in the College of Nursing on a Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship. Ashley has completely immersed herself into her doctoral education. She has taken full advantage of research learning opportunities throughout the college, university, and at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Ashley is also committed to becoming appropriately trained in all methods and has dedicated extensive time, travel, and effort to attend national meetings to further her knowledge of child development and nursing research. She currently has one publication to date with one under revision, a second manuscript under revision, and two manuscripts in process. Ashley’s intelligence and passion for research is evident. Her integration of biology and behavior has allowed her to take a comprehensive approach for examining important neurodevelopmental issues confronting premature infants. Ashley has identified a significant problem plaguing premature infants. Her focus on the role of oxytocin as a measure of biologic processes supporting neurodevelopment is novel and innovative. To date, there are no published data describing this phenomenon in premature infants. Therefore, the anticipated findings of Ashley’s research could lay the foundation for future study of biobehavioral mechanisms that maximize neurodevelopment. Furthermore, Ashley was awarded two research grants from the Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau and the Ohio Nurse’s Foundation. Ashley is also an active member of the Council of Graduate Students, the Dean’s Student Advisory Council within the College of Nursing, Ohio State’s Wellness Collaborative, as well as many other professional organizations. Dr. Deborah Steward, Ashley’s academic and dissertation advisor, believes Ashley is one of the most gifted PhD students she has ever advised. Steward said, “I have no doubt that future premature infants will greatly benefit from the research that Ms. Weber will conduct. Ms. Weber embodies what the discipline of nursing needs relative to moving our science forward. She is a passionate, articulate young woman with unlimited potential as a nurse scientist and leader in the profession. If she pursues her career as a nurse scientist with the same enthusiasm and drive that she continually demonstrates in completing her doctoral education, she will have a lengthy and outstanding career.” After graduation, Ashley hopes to attain a nursing faculty appointment within a research-intensive university. As a NICU nurse, she wants devote her career to developing evidence-based nursing interventions. Congratulations, Ashley! David Twombly is a Juris Doctor Candidate in the Mortiz College of Law. Dean Alan Michaels describes David as one of the strongest students in the history of the Mortiz College of Law. “His class is the most academically gifted on record at our law school,” Michaels said. “And Dave is the highest ranked student in the class by a substantial and unusual margin. He has excelled in an astonishing array of classes.” David has also been an important leader in the college. His peers selected him to serve as Editor-in-Chief of the Ohio State Law Journal. His selection and success in this role reflects not only his intellect and hard work, but also his generous and thoughtful approach to others. He is a Mortiz Merit Scholar and has been deeply engaged with the diversity and inclusion activities at the college, including participation in events such as the SPEAK group and the OutLaws. David’s legal experience is also profound. He has worked in the Legal Aid Society of Columbus and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. David has been a research assistant 448 April 4, 2014 meeting, Board of Trustees for multiple professors and judges, and served as a summer associate last year for Jones Day. Before attending law school, David worked as the marketing director for the Alta Equipment Company in Wixom, Michigan. He received his undergraduate degree in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and his masters in English from Pennsylvania State University. In his free time, David enjoys rock climbing, distance running, and traveling. After graduation, David will join the Columbus office of the Jones Day law firm, and beginning in the summer of 2015, he will serve for a year as a federal judicial clerk in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals for Judge Albert Diaz.

  • Caregiving and the Case for Testamentary Freedom
    Caregiving and the Case for Testamentary Freedom Joshua C. Tate* Almost all U.S. states allow individuals to disinherit their descendants for any reason or no reason, but most of the world’s legal systems currently do not. This Article contends that broad freedom of testation under state law is defensible because it allows elderly people to reward family members who are caregivers. The Article explores the common-law origins of freedom of testation, which developed in the shadow of the medieval rule of primogeniture, a doctrine of no contemporary relevance. The growing problem of eldercare, however, offers a justification for the twenty-first century. Increases in life expectancy have led to a sharp rise in the number of older individuals who require long-term care, and some children and grandchildren are bearing more of the caregiving burden * Assistant Professor of Law, Southern Methodist University.

    Synthesis and modif ication of paracyclophanes A thesis presented by Cristina Lecci In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DoCtor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Chemistry Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AY (UK) October 2005 rat. Alkstract&&j Two main research topics are discussed in this thesis: a) the synthesis and reactivity of small and medium size paracyclophanes; b) the synthesis and applications of new classes of chiral macrocycles derived from amino acids. The first chapter is a concise review on the synthesis and use of [2.21paracyclophane derivatives as ligands in asymmetric catalysis and molecular recognition processes, with particular emphasis on tricarbonylchromium(O) complexes of [2.21paracyclophane. In the second chapter the synthesis and reactivity of tricarbonyl chromium (0) complexes of small and medium size paracyclophanes towards asymmetric derivatisation is described. Various synthetic systems have been examined in asymmetric deprotonation/quench sequences directed towards obtaining enantioenriched derivatives by a procedure that would provide an alternative to more classical methods such as enzymatic and chemical resolution. The third chapter is a comprehensive critical review of the applications of chiral macrocycles derived from amino acids in areas as diverse as ion transport across membranes, catalysis, development of new antibiotics and new materials. The fourth chapter describes the synthesis of two new classes of chiral macrocycles via a versatile route, which potentially gives diverse and useful systems. The structure of the synthetic macrocycles, whose chirality is derived from the incorporation of amino acids as building blocks, has been examined by X-ray analysis.

  • Mothers in Science
    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond.

This article traces the essence of the tourist souvenir design, explaining the core of its value, the essence of local culture, and emphasizing the law of souvenir market value that maintains the uniqueness of local culture to attract purchases. By analysing the current situation of design homogeneity and lack of innovation in Chinese market, it proposes an innovative idea, “Back to Design Origins”. Then taking Nanjing souvenir design as an example, it introduces two innovative approaches, "Discovery and Application of New Cultural Elements" and " Cute Stylization of Traditional Symbols". In the end, it summarizes several feasible rules on element selection, symbolic method application, and carrier selection, mainly based on the thought of “Back to Design Origins”. 1 The essence of the tourist souvenir 2 The situation of Chinese souvenir design market Local traditional culture is an overall representation of Nowadays, although the tourist souvenir markets in the evolution and integration of a local civilization that various places have greatly increased in scale with the reflects the characteristics of the region and incorporates development of society, the quality and innovation of various ideological cultures and ideologies of local souvenirs have not improved simultaneously.

  • Sport and National Identity in Taiwan: Some Preliminary Thoughts
    Sport and National Identity in Taiwan: Some Preliminary Thoughts Dong-Jhy Hwang Wei-Cheng Chiu National Taiwan Sport University National Taiwan Sport University Abstract For over two decades or more, the issues of sport and national identity have generated critical discussion in the West and in the East. Sports manifest themselves in many different forms, depending on the historical moment, ethnic group, and nation. It is through participating in and supporting the rituals and competitions of sporting events that people develop a sense of belonging to a community. Sports remain a critical catalyst to arouse people’s passions for political, social and cultural identities. At the beginnings of modern sports, including the Olympics in 1890s, national passions were transformed into something like religious festivities, with meaningful symbols and material interests. This paper addresses several questions, with special reference to Taiwan’s sports history. Why did sport and political identity come to be so closely related? How do they construct and reproduce one another? What kind of sports has been related to Taiwanese identity? The analysis of the paper integrates modern sports history and a number of historical and sociological theories as well as archival materials. In conclusion, we argue that the interactive influence of national identity, global capitalism and nationalism has concurrently spawned a new identity matrix that links Taiwan with international identities yet does not lose sight of Taiwanese individuality. Key words: modern sports, national identity, Olympics, Taiwan Introduction According to Chia-lung Lin (2002: 224), “The awakening of Taiwanese consciousness among native Taiwanese and the Mainlanders’ deepening sense of crisis have made identity politics the most salient issue on Taiwan’s political agenda since the onset of democratization”.
