Anton; Thomas F. Zenty III, FACHE; Cliff Megerian, MD, FACS 4 Dear Friends, Each year our Annual Report showcases many of the remarkable people who comprise UH – our patients, caregivers, donors, volunteers, business partners and community stakeholders. It’s also an opportunity to highlight new initiatives and recent success. As we were in the final stages of publishing our 2019 UH Annual Report, the pandemic began. UH’s response to COVID-19 reinforced the strength and dedication of our health care heroes and our ability as a system to quickly adapt and respond to the needs of our patients, caregivers and community. As we reflect on 2019, there are many accomplishments to celebrate that have served as UH’s legacy for more than 150 years and propelled our mission: To Heal. To Teach. To Discover. HIGHLIGHTS OF UH IN 2019 INCLUDED: • Attaining record-high inpatient satisfaction scores across the system, fulfilling our commitment to provide a patient-driven, consumer-friendly experience and delivering on our goal of excellence in the quality of care. • Increasing UH caregiver engagement. All of the services that we provide to patients are delivered by caregivers, in clinical and nonclinical positions, who are called to our mission and committed to excellence in care. Forbes named UH the highest ranking employer in Cleveland and one of America’s Best Employers for New Grads. • Enhancing our academic mission by establishing important relationships with the University of Oxford, England and Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, reinforcing our commitment to advance the science of health and develop the next generation of physicians. • Furthering discovery and innovation. UH Ventures drove a surge in innovation disclosures and formed new companies and pilot engagements with startups. We increased medical exploration and the number of active clinical trials, and research studies, which near 3,000. And Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals expanded its support for many of the brightest medical scholars nationally and internationally. • Improving the positioning of UH for a value-driven marketplace by advancing models of care through our Accountable Care Organization; focusing on consistency of outcomes and reducing readmission rates by 11 percent; enhancing operational efficiency through system integration; and augmenting access through expansion of telehealth and digital offerings. • Setting a new record for donor generosity and securing more endowed positions than in any other year. We are grateful for this level of support that helps us deliver on our vision of Advancing the Science of Health and the Art of Compassion. Our health system’s success is driven by a responsibility we hold dear: The community trusts UH to provide the most advanced and compassionate care for their health and well-being. Throughout this report, we illustrate many examples of this inspiring responsibility in action and our extraordinary community that makes it happen. Sincerely, THOMAS F. ZENTY III, CLIFF A.

  • Pirates, Justice and Global Order in the Anime 'One Piece '
    PIRATES, JUSTICE AND GLOBAL ORDER IN THE ANIME ‘ONE PIECE ‘ "Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? (St. Augustine City of God, Book 4, Ch. 4). DRAFT, work in progress…do not quote without permission I. INTRODUCTION The manga/anime (Japanese cartoon) titled ONE PIECE telling the story of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew is one of the most successful Japanese cultural products of all time. The first volume of One Piece was published in 1997 and it has been published weekly ever since. It has sold over 430.000.000 million copies worldwide (70.000.000 outside Japan) and it has set already years ago the world record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series, by a single author."1 Although One Piece is the most successful Japanese manga series there are many others -like Dragon Ball or Full Metal Alchemist 2 - with fans around the World, making Japanese manga not only a successful export product, but many believe also a source of Japanese soft power (Bouissou 2006). This in the case of One Piece is especially true for East Asia, with many young readers in the region being inspired by the manga to turn their interest towards Japan (Hirai et al. 2014). Although such products of popular culture are produced mainly for entertainment purposes, we should not dismiss the reflections they make about the social and the political world, as it is recognized that they do not only depict, but also construct identities, shape security narratives and form our world, explaining why scholars increasingly turned their attention to their study (Weldes and Rowley 2015).

  • Burned to Be Wild: Science, Society, and Ecological Conservation In
    BURNED TO BE WILD: SCIENCE, SOCIETY, AND ECOLOGICAL CONSERVATION IN THE SOUTHERN LONGLEAF PINE by ALBERT GLOVER WAY (Under the Direction of Paul S. Sutter) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the development of ecological conservation and science in the southern coastal plain’s dominant ecosystem – the longleaf pine-grassland forest. It examines how the impetus for conservation changed over the long twentieth-century from concerns over bodily health, landscape aesthetics, and recreation, into concerns for ecological integrity and landscape diversity, and argues that the biocentric turn in twentieth-century science and society was rooted in the very processes of production that it sought to moderate. To unearth this story, it focuses on the region surrounding Thomasville, Georgia and Tallahassee, Florida, known as the Red Hills, where wealthy northerners came after the Civil War and Reconstruction in search of health, and remained to convert failing farms and plantations into winter retreats and hunting preserves. In the years covered here, roughly 1880-1960, this land of wealth and poverty was a working landscape that produced a variety of goods and supported a large number of people; yet, at the same time it was a conservation landscape and laboratory where a great deal of scientific knowledge about the longleaf pine-grassland environment came to light. The central figure in this dissertation is Herbert L. Stoddard, an ornithologist, wildlife biologist, and ecological forester who came to the Red Hills in 1924 as an agent of the U.S. Bureau of the Biological Survey to examine the life history and preferred habitat of the bobwhite quail.

  • The Lake Seamen's Union, the Lake Carriers' Association, and the Great
    An Unequal Clash: The Lake Seamen’s Union, the Lake Carriers’ Association, and the Great Lakes Strike of 1909 Matthew Lawrence Daley La grève des Grands Lacs de 1909 a été le point culminant d’une lutte de plusieurs décennies entre les marins syndiqués et la Lake Carriers’ Association. Les syndicats maritimes s’étaient efforcés de résoudre les problèmes d’identité, d’autorité et de solidarité depuis les années 1870. À la suite d’une défaite face aux travailleurs en 1901, les propriétaires de navires ont transformé leur association informelle en fédération capable de mettre en œuvre des politiques uniformes pour l’ensemble de ses membres. La défaite des travailleurs lors de la grève de 1909 est née de trois grèves précédentes (1901 à 1906); ensemble, ces conflits ont transformé l’industrie des Grands Lacs et permis aux marins de jouer un rôle dans le système industriel désormais transformé en société. The Great Lakes Strike of 1909 drew together all the factors that had been transforming the Lakes maritime industry during the prior two decades and produced a reshaped environment where sailors operated as components within a fully integrated industrial system. The strike stood as a breaking point between two eras, that of the independent and skills-based sailors as defined by sailing ships and small companies, and the corporate world of steel ships and intensive bulk freight commodity transportation. For vessel owners these same changes had shifted the industry into a high-volume, low-margin operation tied to expensive specialized equipment. Understanding the 1909 strike requires reviewing events and decisions that began years earlier.

  • Research Highlights
    [CLIENT] Dittrich1611 NT1510146 3 March 2017 Research Highlights GOALS Search for the death record of Barbara Dittrich’s alleged twin, Anežka. Find the birth records of Barbara’s other siblings in the Kladno parish records. Continue to extend the ancestry of Barbara Dittrich in available Czech records. PROGRESS Determined that Barbora Anežka was not a twin. Though unusual for Bohemia, many children in Kladno at that time had middle names. Reexamined the client’s information about Barbora’s siblings, and noted the town Libušín was listed for two of their births. Libušín was part of the Smečno parish, and that it was right outside of Kladno. It now appears that the family moved from Kladno to Libušín between 1892 and 1894. Discovered Barbora’s younger sister Agnes/Anežka’s marriage record in Canada to Antony Kraus. Also discovered her death record, which listed a second husband and her birth in Libušin. According to the client’s information, she had married Antony Kraus and had sons named Tony and Joe. We found her gravestone, and that of two of her children, Joseph and Agnes. Attempted to search the Libušín birth records for Barbora’s siblings but discovered that the relevant parish registers for Smečno are not yet digitized. The relevant book, Smečno 42, was also not available onsite. Sent an email requesting a search of the Libušín birth records after 1900 at the Libušín vital records office. Searched the available Kladno birth records from 1865-1870 for the births of Barbora’s parents. Their births were not found, but several more Dittrich and Veselý siblings for both parents were discovered in the process.

  • The-Mcgregor-Story
    The Story Chapter 1 The McGregor Story TThe McGregor story starts in 1877 when Amasa Stone, the legendary capitalist and preeminent Cleveland philanthropist, and his wife, Julia, built and endowed one of the first private organizations in Cleveland specifically for the care of seniors — the Home for Aged Women, later to be renamed the Amasa Stone House, on what is now East 46th Street and Cedar Avenue. After training as a carpenter and building contractor in his native Massachusetts and moving to Cleveland in 1850, Amasa turned his considerable ambition to transportation. He built the Lake Shore Railroad, which ran between Erie, Pennsylvania and Cleveland as part of the New York Central. During the post-Civil War industrial boom, he found himself among America’s elite railroad builders. He also worked with his brother-in- law, William Howe, in designing a truss bridge to sustain heavy loads of rail cargo over short spans, like small gullies and ravines. Over the years Amasa became one of Cleveland’s leading business figures, eventually moving to a mansion on Euclid Avenue — dubbed “Millionaires Row” by the press — near a 3 Y R A R B I L Y T I S R E V I N U E T A T S D Tank wagons such as this, built N A L E V by the Standard Oil Company E L C , S in Cleveland in 1911, were N O I T C E standard equipment throughout L L O C the world in the petroleum L A I C E P industry.

ISBN 13: 978-1-936323-38-8 ISBN 10: 1-936323-38-9 This digital edition was prepared by MSL Academic Endeavors, the imprint of the Michael Schwartz Library at Cleveland State University, February 2017. Permission for MSL Academic Endeavors and Cleveland Memory Project to reprint granted by the original rights holder. Clifton Building Company/Stephan Burgyan - 17853 Lake Road - Built in 1900 The house was built in 1900 by the "Clifton Building Company;" Charles W. Root was the first owner. Originally the house was smaller than today. Mr. Root made improvements con­ sisting of a large kidney-shaped front porch, a larger front entry and a room at the rear of the house which is now the library. When the term hand made is used in the inter­ view it means that Mr. Burgyan has constructed the items mentioned. Mr. Burgyan has restored the woodwork on the lower floor to its natural oak. It is easy to state this fact but the process was sand blasting in order to remove many layers of paint and the stubborn stain. The motif of the house is gothic. The gothic arch is seen in door panels and the dining room wainscoting. Wherever the gothiC arch fits in appropriately Mr. Burgyan has made paneling, radiator enclosures and book cases in this motif. The front entry has high wainscoting in the restored oak. A hand made wrought iron coat pole has been installed to take the place of the original coat hook method.
