The Institute is a convenor of persons and organizations with health-relevant expertise, a provider of carefully conducted studies of complex and often controversial health and health care issues, and a source of advice regarding available options for problem solution. The principal mode of addressing such issues is through the convening of task forces consisting of some of the state’s leading professionals, policymakers, and interest group representatives to undertake detailed analyses of the various dimensions of such issues and to identify a range of possible options for addressing them. The Duke Endowment The Duke Endowment, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, is one of the nation’s largest private foundations. Established in 1924 by industrialist James B. Duke, its mission is to serve the people of North Carolina and South Carolina by supporting programs of higher education, health care, children’s welfare and spiritual life. The Endowment’s health care grants provide assistance to not-for-profit hospitals and other related health care organizations in the Carolinas. Major focus areas include improving access to health care for all individuals, improving the quality and safety of the delivery of health care, and expanding preventative and early intervention programs. Since its inception, the Endowment has awarded $2.2 billion to organizations in North Carolina and South Carolina, including more than $750 million in the area of health care. 258 NCMJ vol. 72, no. 4 NCMJ vol. 72, no. 4 ncmedicaljournal.com ncmedicaljournal.com North Carolina Medical Journal Founded by the North Carolina Medical Society in 1849 Publisher Pam C.

  • Writing the University
    Writing the University Wring the University Preface The raised leers of a sentence decorate a wall of the Ellio University Center, the hub of the university’s campus. The sentence reads It is people, not systems, that are important. Harriet Ellio Few students noce the message of course; even fewer know anything about its author or make the connecon between her and the name of the student center where they spend many of their university hours. But her work was deeply important to the university’s success and its mission. Harriet Ellio was a poli2cal science teacher and Dean of Women at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, then called the Normal School and later Women’s College, from 1913 unl 1945. She served in the administraon of Franklin Delano Roosevelt while connuing her work at the school and was a delegate to the first United Naons Conference on Educaon in 1945. No wonder the University named a building for her. The idea for this book began with an idea about the value of learning history. As part of the Carlisle Professorship in Women’s and Gender Studies, I conducted a project with a group of students at UNCG and at Benne College, the African American women’s college five miles down Spring Garden Street. The young women engaged in the project delved into the archives at both ins2tu2ons to discover how women students and teachers demonstrated leadership and ac2vism in key social/cultural moments in the twen2eth century. In the process of learning about people like Harriet Ellio and events like the women’s schools’ involvement in the civil rights ac2on at Woolworth’s, these students learned something just as valuable.

  • Diet Shift of Red Belly Pacu Piaractus Brachypomus (Cuvier, 1818) (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae), a Neotropical Fish, in the Sepik-Ramu River Basin, Papua New Guinea
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(4): 827-833, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20130212 Diet shift of Red Belly Pacu Piaractus brachypomus (Cuvier, 1818) (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae), a Neotropical fish, in the Sepik-Ramu River Basin, Papua New Guinea Sandra Bibiana Correa1, Ricardo Betancur-R.2, 3, Bernard de Mérona4 and Jonathan W. Armbruster2 Introduction of fish species is a globally widespread practice that causes losses of native species and homogenization of diversity within and across continents. Diet assessments are important tools to depict the ecological function of species introduced into novel ecosystem and possible direct and indirect ecological effects. In this study, we compare the diet of Piaractus brachypomus, a mainly frugivorous Neotropical fish, introduced into the Sepik-Ramu River Basin (Papua New Guinea) nearly two decades ago, to that of similar size individuals from Neotropical populations in the Amazon and Orinoco River basins (South America). In contrast to native populations that feed mainly on terrestrial plants and invertebrates, the diet of introduced P. brachypomus is mainly composed of fish remains and aquatic plants, while terrestrial plants are frequently consumed but in relatively smaller amounts. These findings show that P. brachypomus has an inherently plastic diet that can be adjusted when displaced to a novel geographic area. While trophic plasticity increases the likelihood of a species to establish breeding populations after its introduction, it also reduces our ability to predict negative effects on native species. La introducción de peces es una práctica que se extiende globalmente y que causa perdida de especies nativas y homogenización de la diversidad dentro y entre continentes.
