An Abstract of the Dissertation for the Degree of Philosophy in the School of Library and Information Management AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION FOR THE DEGREE OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Rebecca Leigh Miller Banner (Name of Student) presented on ____________________April 17, 2008________________________ Title: The Intercultural Transfer of Professional Knowledge in International Partnerships: A Case Study of the American Bulgarian Library Exchange Abstract approved: _______________________________________________________ (Chair) International partnerships between libraries are an oft-used approach to transferring professional knowledge across national borders, with the intent of developing the profession in both nations. Unfortunately, such partnerships are routinely unsuccessful. An assumption exists in the library and information science profession that international partnerships are a good mechanism for developing libraries worldwide, without a full understanding of how they work and how they could be improved. Very little empirical research has been conducted on the nature of such partnerships; the processes of knowledge transfer that go on within them; and the factors that affect the partnerships and ultimately the knowledge transfer. The purpose of this dissertation research was to examine one international partnership for the factors and processes that establish and sustain a communicative environment enabling the successful transfer of professional knowledge. Given that international partnerships rely on interpersonal communication to transfer knowledge, the diffusion of innovations theory was an appropriate guide to this research. The Katz, Levin and Hamilton (1963) seven-element model provided a detailed framework for the data collection, analysis and interpretation of findings. Using a case study design set in a naturalistic inquiry approach, the experiences of members in a group of international partnerships were explored. The study participants were the members of the American Bulgarian Library Exchange (ABLE), an international partnership project. Data were collected by five methods: individual interviews, focus group interviews, documentation collection, direct observation, and participant journals. These data and accompanying research notes were analyzed with a constant comparative technique supported by the computer assisted qualitative data analysis software N-Vivo7. The findings showed that multiple factors affected the international partnerships in the ABLE case. Facilitating factors included the participants’ commitment and interest; a shared profession; support from multiple social structures; opportunities for face-to-face communication; and a shared language. Inhibiting factors included a lack of time; feeling obligated to participate; difficulties with communication technologies; an unsupportive social structure and significant language differences. While the research presented here has certain limitations based on the case study approach, the findings indicate a rich terrain of future research. Международните библиотечни партньорства са много чест подход за пренасяне на професионални знания през граница с цел развиване на професията и в двете страни. За съжаление такива партньорства обикновено са неуспешни. Сред библиотечно-информационната общност е прието, че международните партньорства са добър механизъм за развитие на библиотеките по света, но няма цялостно разбиране за това как работят те и как биха могли да се подобрят. Малко емпирични изледвания са проведени относно същността на подобни партньорства; относно процеса на трансфер на знания, който ги съпътства; относно факторите, които повлияват на партньорствата и в края на краищата, трансфера на знания. Целта на това дисертационно изследване е да проучи едно международно партньорство с факторите и процесите, които създават и поддържат комуникативна среда, даваща възможност за успешен трансфер на професионални знания. Тъй като международните партньорства разчитат на междуличностната комуникация за трансфер на знания, подходящa насока за това изследване беше теорията за дифузия на иновациите. Моделът от седем елемента на Кац, Левин и Хамилтън (1963) осигури подробна рамка за събиране на данни, анализи и интерпретация на откритията. Опитът на членовете на група от международно партньорство беше проучен, като се използва модел на изследване на обект и промените му във времето чрез събиране на сведения в естествена среда. Участниците в изследването бяха членовете на Американско-българския библиотечен обмен (ABLE), проект за международно партньорство. Данните бяха събрани по пет метода: индивидуални интервюта, интервюта чрез фокус-групи, комплектуване на документи, пряко наблюдение, както и дневниците на участниците. Тези данни и съпровождащите научни бележки бяха анализирани с постоянна сравнителна техника, подпомогната от софтуер за качествени анализи на данни N- Vivo7. Проучванията показаха, че различни фактори са повлияли на международното партньорство в случая с ABLE. Благоприятните фактори включват ангажираността и интереса на участниците; общата професия; подкрепа от различни социални структури; възможности за общуване на живо, както и общ език за общуване. Възпрепятстващите фактори включват липса на време; чувство на задължение при участието; трудности с комуникационните технологии; неподкрепяща социална структура и значителни езикови различия. Макар че изследването, представено тук, съдържа известни ограничения поради описанието на един отделен случай, изводите му предлагат богат терен за бъдещи проучвания. THE INTERCULTURAL TRANSFER OF PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS: A CASE STUDY OF THE AMERICAN BULGARIAN LIBRARY EXCHANGE by Rebecca Leigh Miller Banner Emporia, Kansas May 2008 ---------- A Dissertation Presented to EMPORIA STATE UNIVERSITY ---------- In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy The School of Library and Information Management ---------- Copyright 2008 Rebecca Leigh Miller Banner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED __________________________________________ Dr. Gwen Alexander, Dean School of Library and Information Management __________________________________________ Dr. Herbert K. Achleitner (Chair) __________________________________________ Dr. John Agada __________________________________________ Dr. Cathy M. Perley __________________________________________ Dr. Alexander Dimchev __________________________________________ Dr. Garrit Bleeker, Dean Graduate Studies and Research ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A work of this magnitude, although written by one person, is truly a community endeavor. I wish to give thanks to and for the following people, who have supported and enabled me to complete this “magnum opus.” Dr. Herbert Achleitner, my chair and “Doktorvater,” has met the challenge of keeping me focused and on track for almost 10 years. Without him I would never had had the many wonderful “learning opportunities” and experiences of international information transfer, conference organization, and diplomacy. I hope I have finally paid him back by completing this work so he can retire. Dr. John Agada is an intellectual inspiration whose thoughtful and articulate insights always clarified my hazy thinking. Dr. Cathy Perley is a shooting star who consistently gives good advice, whether on life choices or sentence structure. Finally, Dr. Alexander Dimchev, whose son graciously translated the informed consent forms, and whose knowledge of challenges facing Bulgarian librarianship has been extremely helpful with this dissertation. It is only fitting that he be on the committee for a dissertation that examines an international partnership project that he co-inaugurated. I offer my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Gary entered my life at a pivotal moment in the dissertation process. He consistently met and exceeded my expectations, supplying me with food, shelter, love, laughter, good conversation, carrots and sticks, and a constant supply of Nerds. With his love and support, I was able to wrestle this “20-pound bond paper monster” into submission. Although he was absent during my final push to completion, he was with me in spirit every step of the way. I thank him and dedicate my heart to the future chapters of our life together. iii My immediate family has been a great support structure. Sherry, my mother, has witnessed several times the pain of writing a dissertation and was always encouraging. Russell, my father, always cheered when I would report on even the smallest of writing progress. I owe them sincere thanks for temporarily putting a roof over my head when they thought they were done. Irene and Dallas, my grandparents, loved and supported me unconditionally, even though they might not have always quite understood what I was doing and why I was traveling so much. Andrew, my brother, Tina, my sister-in-law, and Caitlin and Rachel, my nieces, provided comic relief, pedicures, and innovative hair styles. Thank you all. Multiple friends have stood by me and cheered me on. Janelle Sjue, my sister by heart, was always there with a supportive word, sympathetic grunt of indignation, or whoop of delight. Participating in the births of her children gave me the analogy to emotionally deal with my own “baby.” Three fellow PhD students—Gretchen Hoffman, Brenda Hough and Susan Zuber-Chall—formed a learning community to maneuver through the mazes of classes, exams, proposal and dissertation with the lubricating assistance of a good glass of wine and Thai food. What would Jesus do? I don’t know, but if we ever get bored with this academic stuff, there’s always

  • Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto
    Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a Case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian Group in Toronto By Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Theological Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael's College © Copyright by Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar 2016 Vernacular Religion in Diaspora: a case Study of the Macedono-Bulgarian group in Toronto PhD 2016 Mariana Dobreva-Mastagar University of St.Michael’s College Abstract This study explores how the Macedono-Bulgarian and Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox churches in Toronto have attuned themselves to the immigrant community—specifically to post-1990 immigrants who, while unchurched and predominantly secular, have revived diaspora churches. This paradox raises questions about the ways that religious institutions operate in diaspora, distinct from their operations in the country of origin. This study proposes and develops the concept “institutional vernacularization” as an analytical category that facilitates assessment of how a religious institution relates to communal factors. I propose this as an alternative to secularization, which inadequately captures the diaspora dynamics. While continuing to adhere to their creeds and confessional symbols, diaspora churches shifted focus to communal agency and produced new collective and “popular” values. The community is not only a passive recipient of the spiritual gifts but is also a partner, who suggests new forms of interaction. In this sense, the diaspora church is engaged in vernacular discourse. The notion of institutional vernacularization is tested against the empirical results of field work in four Greater Toronto Area churches.

    12th Grade English Worksheet Bundle: Volume Two Printable English worksheets from Edmentum's Study Island. Grade 12 English: Objective Summary The Red Planet's Rocky History 1 We've all heard that the Earth could be in big trouble if global temperatures rise by even a few degrees Celsius. A couple of degrees, scientists say, could cause widespread havoc as the oceans rise, covering inhabited areas, and plants and animals would struggle to survive. Now multiply such chaos a million times, and you might get an idea of what the planet Mars has likely gone through. 2 The red planet is lined with deep channels that must have formed when great masses of water passed through. The plains area in the north of the planet shows evidence that oceans once existed there. There is also a web of valleys across the Martian surface. All of this indicates a mild, moist climate that may even have supported life. Yet today, we know that Mars is a bitterly cold, bone-dry environment, inhospitable to life. At its equator, daily average temperatures hover around 60 degrees Celsius below zero (or about negative 81 degrees Fahrenheit). Though water has been detected along the edges of impact craters, Mars is still a bleakly cold and desolate place. Billions of years ago, however, the planet must have been far warmer and more welcoming. 3 What happened between then and now is a mystery to scientists. However, by studying Martian meteorites that have been found on Earth, they are beginning to find answers. One technique being used is to progressively heat the meteorites (to as high as 1200 degrees Celsius).

  • Opening the Pandora's Box: a Study of the Emergent Bulgarian Child
    Opening The Pandora's Box: A Study Of The Emergent Bulgarian Child Maltreatment Discourses Submitted by Todor Iantchev Proykov to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Advanced Social Work and Probation Studies, June 6, 2008 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotations from this may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis, which is not my own work has been identified and that no material is included for which a degree has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ..................................................... Todor Proykov, June 6, 2008 Abstract The current study explores the emerging child maltreatment discourses in the Bulgarian public domain and demonstrates how these discourses have evolved, how they relate to certain social practices and how they maintain certain power relations. To achieve this goal, a sample of newspaper articles covering child maltreatment occurrences are studied, using discourse analysis. In addition to those, folklore, literary and autobiographical resources are examined to trace back the origins of the child maltreatment discourses and the overall social construction of `childhood' and `parenting' in Bulgaria. Furthermore, interview fragments with parents and literature resources are used to support and expand the argument. It is claimed that a number of rooted into the culture and maintained by certain institutions discourses pre-determine how the notion of child maltreatment is con- structed in Bulgaria, singling out certain aspects of child maltreatment as dominant and `silencing' others.

  • Christianity and Slavic Folk Culture: the Mechanisms of Their Interaction
    religions Article Christianity and Slavic Folk Culture: The Mechanisms of Their Interaction Svetlana M. Tolstaya The Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 119334 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] Abstract: In Slavic folk culture, Christianity is a foreign, borrowed cultural model, while the oral tradition is native and familiar. The different areas of folk culture were influenced to varying degrees by the Christian tradition. The most dependent area of Slavic folk culture on Christianity was the calendar. In many cases, it only superficially accepted the Christian content of calendar elements and reinterpreted it in accordance with the traditional mythological notions. The same can be said about the folk cult of saints. The Christian saints replaced pagan gods and over time were included in the system of folk ideas, beliefs and rituals. The mechanism for regulating the balance between man and the world is a system of prohibitions, the violation of which is recognized as sin and is punished by natural disasters, death, disease and human misfortunes. The Slavic folk tradition adapted not only the individual elements, structures and semantic categories of Christianity, but also the whole texts, plots, motifs, and themes developed in various folklore genres. Therefore, the pre-Christian folk tradition of the Slavs was able to assimilate many Christian concepts, symbols, and texts, translate them into its own language and fill them with its own content.
